....COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — U.S. officials on Thursday destroyed more than 6 tons of confiscated ivory tusks, carvings and jewelry — the bulk of the U.S. "blood ivory" stockpile — and urged other nations to follow suit to fight a $10 billion global trade that slaughters tens of thousands of elephants each year. Thousands of ivory items accumulated over the past 25 years were piled into a large pyramid-shaped mound, then dumped into a steel rock crusher that pulverized it all into dust and tiny chips at the National Wildlife Property Repository just north of Denver. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will donate the particles to a yet-to-be-determined museum ...

An interesting statistic I've never seen reported in any major media outlet… By Dr. David Eifrig, editor, Retirement Millionaire Monday, November 11, 2013 Over the past dozen years, we've witnessed the growth of a massive police-state architecture in the United States. We have new internal security agencies (the Department of Homeland Security)… a monstrous internal travel security force (the Transportation Security Administration)… militarized local police departments… "peace officers" in black uniforms. They wield machine guns and even drive armored vehicles. The government has created all of this in the name of "fighting terrorism." And ...

Share This: Northwestern University researchers were interested in exploring the brain activity underlying this higher-level integration step. Through the use of an EEG to measure brainwaves, they were able to predict reading comprehension with almost 90 percent accuracy based on the brain activity differences ...

There are at least eight disasters that may soon change life as we know it, and seven of them are already underway. Most of these could cause an early death for millions. Unfortunately, far too many people are unaware of how serious the situation is. They have the "normalcy bias," the faulty assumption that normal will continue because it seems to have done so in the past. In actuality, "normal" has been changing throughout the entire life of each of us. Sophisticated economic, political and social manipulation, the increased damage capabilities of war, widespread pollution and technologies from nukes to nanobots to death ray frequencies that raise the possibility for ...

Ten 'untranslatable' French words translated

Local, France French is a difficult language for us expats to learn and if the grammar rules, false friends and tongue-twisting pronunciations weren't taxing enough, things are complicated further by a number of words and expressions that are 'untranslatable'. Here are ten to look out for, along with our interpretations. Have you ever read a French word and struggled for what seemed like an eternity to come up with the English translation, before giving up in frustration? Well you're not alone and perhaps you were not to blame. The simple fact is that French is home to many words and phrases that just don't translate easily into English, if at all.

George Noory welcomed lawyer and medium Mark Anthony for a discussion on the devil, evil spirits and hell. The devil exists but not in the way organized Christian religions have taught," he said, noting how the idea of a supernatural entity who controls people and is the central command of evil is primitive and contradicts monotheism. According to Anthony, the devil is a convenient scapegoat for frightening individuals into conforming to a particular dogma and for concealing the truth that evil is generated entirely by the human ego. "The devil is the evil that exist within all of us... we don't need a jerk with a pitchfork to motivate us to commit horrific acts of brutality, ...

Poster Comment:I met all of the Highwaymen in Chicago way back when we were working concert security for extra money. Now, Waylon and Johnny are dead and from what I hear, Willie can't pick since the arthritis got his hands. They wanted me to follow Kris Kristofferson out of the building to make sure no body messed with him. I was following him up the stairwell. When he got to the top, he turned around and looked at me. I told him it was cool. They wanted me to follow him out. It brings a tear to my eye. I worked many great shows all over the country, including Woodstock '94. It was the road trip from hell because of the bus crash on the way home. Many of my friends were medevaced ...

Ouija & Talking Boards: Historian and expert on Ouija and Talking Boards, Robert Murch, was joined by collector and author, Brandon Hodge, to discuss the rich history of the Ouija Board and earlier spirit communication devices (see images). Before the Ouija became synonymous with talking boards, there were numerous other boards and devices dating back to the 1800s (in fact Murch said he has some 500 items in his collection). In the 1800s, talking boards were an accepted pastime, and were especially popular after the Civil War, when so many soldiers died, Murch detailed. It was only after the 1973 film The Exorcist connected the idea of demonic possession with the use of the Ouija board ...
