A huge area of the ice shelf broke away from the Pine Island glacier, the longest and fastest flowing glacier in the Antarctic, and is now floating in the Amundsen Sea in the form of a very large iceberg. Scientists of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research have been following this natural spectacle via the earth observation satellites TerraSAR-X from the German Space Agency (DLR) and have documented it in many individual images. Scientists from the American space agency NASA discovered the first crack in the glacier tongue on 14 October 2011 when flying over…

In three years, Russia will have the world’s first floating nuclear power plant, capable of providing energy and heat to hard-to-get areas as well as drinking water to arid regions. The unique vessel should be operational by 2016, the general director of Russia’s biggest shipbuilders, the Baltic Plant, Aleksandr Voznesensky told reporters at the 6th International Naval Show in St. Petersburg.
By Cassius Methyl Intellihub.com New studies show that psilocybin removes the trauma and fear from memories in the minds of mice, and even stimulates the growth of a significant amount of new brain cells. Studies from The University of South Florida indicate that psilocin (or psilocybin, which metabolizes into psilocin), found in “shrooms”, triggers new brain cell growth, and erases frightening memories from mice. Mice trained to fear electric shock when hearing a noise associated with the shock
Chalk one up for privacy, at least in one part of the country. Traffic cameras have been a part of the urban scenery for years now, but in Elmwood Place – a suburb of Cincinnati – they are history. Finally. In a recent court hearing, Judge Robert Ruehlman ordered them not only to be shut off but to be impounded – taken off the streets for good.
Acne is a billion dollar industry to the pharmaceutical companies. If acne was cured the pharmaceutical industry would suffer a huge revenue loss. If the pharmaceutical industry suffers a revenue loss they will have to answer to shareholders and their stocks will drop. The pharmaceuticals can influence our stock market and our economy as a whole. The pharmaceuticals pay our Federal Drug Association around 400 million a year. Not to mention other payoffs. Do you really think there is any incentive to find a cure for acne? No! This will be devastation to the companies and FDA. Now what is…
July 07, 2013 14:11 76 people have been injured with six in hospital after a passenger train derailed in southern Russia, the country’s Emergencies Ministry reported. Five cars derailed when the 19-car train heading from Novosibirsk in Siberia to the Black Sea resort of Adler came off the tracks in the Kuschevsky district of the southern Krasnodar region.
Scientists have discovered more than 3,500 unique gene sequences in Lake Vostok – the underground Antarctic water reservoir isolated from the outside world for 15 million years – revealing a complex ecosystem far beyond anything they could have expected. “The bounds on what is habitable and what is not are changing,” said Scott Rogers, Bowling Green State University professor of biological sciences, who led a genetic study of the contents of half a liter of water brought back from the lake after it was drilled by Russian scientists last year.
Gas chambers could be brought back to life in the state of Missouri, where the attorney general has indicated replacing lethal-injection with the long-forgotten and controversial means of execution before the former’s drug supply runs out. “As each supply expires, the department’s ability to carry out lawfully imposed capital sentences diminishes,” Attorney General Chris Koster said in a motion filed with the court. “Unless the court changes its current course, the legislature will soon be compelled to fund statutorily-authorized alternative methods of execution to carry out lawful judgments.”
AT&T has announced that it will begin selling customers’ smart phone data to the highest bidder, putting the telecommunications giant in line with Verizon, Facebook and other competitors that quietly use a consumer’s history for marketing purposes. The company claims its new privacy policy, to be updated within “the next few weeks,” exists to “deliver more relevant advertising” to users based on which apps they use and their location, which is provided by GPS-tracking. Apparently recognizing the natural privacy concerns a customer might have
An Asiana Airline Boeing 777 from Seoul, South Korea, has crash landed at San Francisco International Airport leaving two dead and more than 180 injured. The two fatalities were identified by state media on Sunday as two Chinese schoolgirls, Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, both 16, who had been traveling as part of a group from Jiangshan Middle School in China’s eastern Zhejiang province. At least 49 others are in a critical condition.
A newer model C250 coupe bursts into flames, engine flies over 100 feet. As a car manufacture, shouldn’t they be interested in investigating the cause of such an event in their vehicles? Seems quite catastrophic to me. We have already posted evidence that it’s possible to hack new vehicles..
It’s been a few hundred years since the Third Amendment was written to keep King George from quartering British troops in American homes, but a lawsuit just filed in Nevada suggests it’s as relevant as ever. The framers of the Constitution ratified the Third Amendment to ensure citizens would never again have to accommodate soldiers, but a few centuries later it’s become more-or-less an antiquated law that’s rarely referenced in federal court. That changed recently when a family from Henderson
As reported by The Examiner: In many major cities, black academic performance has actually gotten worse since Obama took office. We have also seen the dramatic nationwide rise of black teen mob violence under the Obama administration.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has come through on an asylum offer to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, making the announcement on television during a the broadcast of a parade marking the country’s independence day. On Friday Nicaragua also said that it would “gladly receive” Snowden, who is still holed up in a transit section of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport since fleeing Hong Kong twelve days ago, and give him asylum, “if circumstances permit.”
Heather Callaghan Activist Post Media, medical and science claims love to push that untreated HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) perhaps-maybe-someday can lead to cervical cancer. So far, it can’t be confirmed if getting Gardasil and Cervavix actually take cervical cancer cases down. What’s really shaky is the safety of a seriously under-evaluated vaccine pushed on both young girls and boys who may or may not become sexually active soon and may never contract HPV. According to the manufacturers, the vaccine only addresses 4 out of 40 HPV strains.
By Cheryl Carpenter Klimek Filmmaker Oliver Stone didn’t parse his criticism of the United States during a Fourth of July appearance at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic, calling Edward Snowden “a hero.” He also said the rest of the world should stand up to the United States and offer asylum to the National Security Agency whistleblower, The Wrap reported. “It’s a disgrace that Obama is more concerned with hunting down Snowden than reforming these George Bush-style eavesdropping techniques,” Stone said at an afternoon press conference.
By Willynel Dave Schuit, a beekeeper in Ontario, Canada, has lost everything because a nearby farm planted some corn. “And then when they started planting corn, my bees started dying by the millions,” Schuit told CTV’s Canada AM Friday (July 5, 2013).Read more: http://www.ctvnews.ca/… I can’t share the video on this site.
