The disks are only 500 billionths of a metre wide and 10nm thick, so even once a pair of them are stuck together with a similarly sized non-magnetic layer between them, the overall component is still bloody small. At the centre of the resulting disk is a stable magnetic vortex allowing the device to transmit radio signals. It paves the way for a new generation of tiny antennas.

The existence of vortices in nanoscale magnetic disks has been known for a while. Various researchers hope to exploit them as computer memory, but the breakthrough here is the discovery that two stupidly tiny magnets will stabilise each other and thus permit high-frequency transmissions.

A magnetic disk 500nm across has north and south poles circling it, as though one has taken a chain of bar magnets and attached the last to the first to make a circle, a series of which make up the disk. But as one approaches the centre of the ring there is no longer room for our chain of poles so they're obliged to stand up, or point down, and it's this duality of position which lends itself to computer memory.

Apply a voltage to the disk and the vortex spins and emits radio waves. This is fine to a point, although once the frequency starts to get anywhere useful the polarity reverses and the spinning stops and has to be run up again in the opposite direction - not ideal for contiguous transmission.

Yonatan Zunger is a Google employee who decided to explain this phenomenon on Google+ recently. The simple answer to why barns are painted red is because red paint is cheap. The cheapest paint there is, in fact. But the reason it’s so cheap? Well, that’s the interesting part.

Red ochre—Fe2O3—is a simple compound of iron and oxygen that absorbs yellow, green and blue light and appears red. It’s what makes red paint red. It’s really cheap because it’s really plentiful. And it’s really plentiful because of nuclear fusion in dying stars.

As soon as the star hits the 56 nucleon (total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus) cutoff, it falls apart. It doesn’t make anything heavier than 56. What does this have to do with red paint? Because the star stops at 56, it winds up making a ton of things with 56 neucleons. It makes more 56 nucleon containing things than anything else (aside from the super light stuff in the star that is too light to fuse).

If only you could just grab a camera, and take a picture that showed you the noise's location. Well, soon you should be able to do so, as that's just what the SeeSV-S205 sound camera does."

Part of the reason that the SeeSV-S205 is so much smaller and simpler than other sound cameras lies in the fact that it doesn’t detect as wide of a range of frequencies. Co-inventor Prof.

From the article: 'A release from the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) confirmed the flying car was "an American corporately registered I-Tech Maverick SP Powered Parachute" that had crashed.

The vehicle, known as "Maverick," uses a 100-metre runway to take off and flies under a parasail. But it also needs a 100-metre runway to make a safe landing.'"

The implication of this hypothesis is that old tissues might be made to regenerate as well as young tissues if, by means of systemic influences, the molecular pathways could be 'rejuvenated' from an old state to a young state. To test this hypothesis scientists have set up an experimental system in which – in contrast to transplantation – regenerating tissues in aged animals could be exposed only to the circulating factors of young animals, and vice versa.

They established parabiotic pairings between young and old mice (heterochronic parabioses), with parabiotic parings between two young mice or two old mice (isochronic parabioses) as controls. In parabiosis, animals develop vascular anastomoses and thus a single, shared circulatory system.

Previous work examining the effects of heterochronic parabiosis showed that such pairings may alter tissue function, but the effects on progenitor cell activity or tissue regeneration have not been examined. The loss of muscle regeneration with age is due at least in part to an age-related impairment in the upregulation of the Notch ligand Delta after muscle injury.

Therefore, it was tested whether heterochronic parabiosis restored Delta upregulation in aged satellite cells and thus enhanced their activation and proliferation. Using myofibre explantation to assess satellite cell activation, satellite cells for the expression of Delta has been analyzed. In young isochronic and heterochronic parabionts there was a marked upregulation of Delta in satellite cells, whereas Delta induction was lacking in the old, isochronic parabionts (Fig. 1), typical of the response of aged muscle.

Notably, satellite cells from the aged partners of heterochronic parabionts showed a marked upregulation of Delta, comparable to that found in their young partners (Fig. 1) and in young mice not subjected to parabiotic pairings. There was a slight inhibition of Delta upregulation in satellite cells from young mice in heterochronic parabioses compared with young isochronic parabionts (Fig. 1).

So I guess we have different approaches...I maintained and repaired hundreds of machines, some very complex, over a period of 25 years in 3 different photolabs...I loved it and modified many of the machines to correct design errors and make them work longer with much less downtime as a direct result of my modification.

For me, using meters and logic is the only way to go for real world devices...

I love this spook stuff and would be privileged to be a part of quantifying it for reliable effects so that it's no longer hand motions (boy is that RIPE for a joke), but that we actually understand what it does, how it works and how to measure it to control it.

I'm sure over time, humans will relearn how to manipulate aether/zpe to the point we can focus the lense of our mind on a desired effect,

we will have programmed it to BECOME our desires...

An interesting reference to the Cargo Cult you made...and I've read about them many times with clones all over the world and FIXTURES in all religions where the ignorant (notice, NOT STUPID, just they don't yet understand how it works), relegate science down to magic...such as believing because you can fly (understand and use gravity), then you MUST BE A GOD.

A choice...woo-woo chants versus rote copying in hopes someone in the cult will stumble on how it actually worked versus trying to feel or sense some superfine effect (if it even exists and isn't a product of self-delusion by 'wanting to believe') that can't be measured with metrics.

I choose NEITHER...

It took the folks at Google to upgrade these choppy LandSat visual sequences from crude flip-book quality to true video footage. With the help of massive amounts of computer muscle, they have scrubbed away cloud cover, filled in missing pixels, digitally stitched puzzle-piece pictures together, until the growing, thriving, sometimes dying planet is revealed in all its dynamic churn.

The images are striking not just because of their vast sweep of geography and time but also because of their staggering detail. Consider: a standard TV image uses about one-third of a million pixels per frame, while a high-definition image uses 2 million.

The Landsat images, by contrast, weigh in at 1.8 trillion pixels per frame, the equivalent of 900,000 high-def TVs assembled into a single mosaic.

Every year it publishes 250,000 articles in 2,000 journals. Its 2012 revenues reached $2.7 billion. Its profits of over $1 billion account for 45% of the Reed Elsevier Group — its parent company which is the 495th largest company in the world in terms of market capitalization.

Companies like Elsevier developed in the 1960s and 1970s. They bought academic journals from the non-profits and academic societies that ran them, successfully betting that they could raise prices without losing customers. Today just three publishers, Elsevier, Springer and Wiley, account for roughly 42% of all articles published in the $19 billion plus academic publishing market for science, technology, engineering, and medical topics. University libraries account for 80% of their customers.'

The thirty-five minute video walks through every part of the process which we originally learned about in September of last year. The process was developed as a way to fabricate parts that will be used in high-stress applications.

A plastic part will break under the strain so he needed to make it out of aluminum alloy.

'When the protein ... was injected into old mice, which develop thickened heart walls in a manner similar to aging humans, the hearts were reduced in size and thickness, resembling the healthy hearts of younger mice.'

Through a type of transfusion called parabiotic or 'shared circulation' in mice — one old and sick, the other young and well — they managed to reverse this age-associated heart disease.

From there, they isolated an active agent, GDF-11, present in the younger mouse but absent in the older, which reverses the condition when administered directly. They are also using the agent to restore other aged/diseased tissues and organs.

Generating power forever, the mechanic movement continuous and perpetual is powered exclusively by gravity.

We will build in Porto Alegre, at Av. Patria, 195 - a power generator that started by a mechanic system, and exclusively powered by the gravity force. It will be the first equipment with this technology in the world.

We have a small machine for experience and testing in our headquarter at Av. Pedro Ivo,933. The mechanic system was created under a special conception, to pick up and take the energy contained in the planet gravity, at any moment and place, without pollution or heat.

Technology was completely developed by our Company and consists in a continuous movement with some extra energy that can be taken, in a continuous and perpetual mechanic movement.

This equipment is similar to a combustion engine, where a set of wheights represent the fuel and pistons that activate assemblies connected to a crankshaft.

Another similar equipment will be built in the U.S.A. at the Incobrasa Industries Ltd plant, a Company of the group, located in Gilman, IL.

Both equipment are demonstration models with capacity to generate 30 KW, and will be ready in the middle of the next year. The technique allows the building of great power generators. (Thanks to Jim Tanner for sharing this.)

Mars One has received applications from over 120 countries. Most applications come from USA (17324), followed by China (10241), United Kingdom (3581), Russia, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Argentina and India.

Bas Lansdorp, Mars One Co-Founder and CEO said: “With seventy-eight thousand applications in two weeks, this is turning out to be the most desired job in history. These numbers put us right on track for our goal of half a million applicants.”

“Mars One is a mission representing all humanity and its true spirit will be justified only if people from the entire world are represented. I’m proud that this is exactly what we see happening,” he said.

The pot works by converting the temperature difference between the water inside the pot and the hot surface underneath–the thermoelectric effect. And the big advantage, says CEO Matt Ford, is that you kill two birds with one stone. You can cook and power at the same time, and you don’t need to carry two sets of equipment.

“What makes it unique is that it’s dual use,” he says. “If you’re camping and making coffee, at the same time you are charging things like headlamps or water purifiers, or you’re storing the power in a battery.”

The PowerPot is available at stores such as Sportsman’s Warehouse and Eastern Mountain Sports, and the company is working on bigger 10 and 15 watt pots.

The device has a Sony Bionz image processor that allows you to record high-definition video in formats that include MPEG-4 and 3D HD: AVCHD. It can also capture 20.4-megapixel still images. The device has a built-in stereo microphone and has a monoral speaker. You can record to memory sticks or SD memory cards.

The previous generation DEV-5 digital binoculars had a 10X zoom and took 7.1 megapixel stills. The new version is 30 percent lighter. Sony will begin selling the DEV-50V in June for $2,000.

The device has Sony’s Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. It also has autofocus, so you don’t have to constantly spend your time fidgeting with the magnification in order to watch something. As the scene you’re observing changes, so does the autofocus. The device’s Exmor R image sensorcan adjust the brightness if you’re looking at a low-light or bright scene.

A new survey for Industry Canada has found that almost 13 per cent of Canadians are so-called "private innovators," who have improved on consumer goods or created new products in the last three years.

Recent research in the United States and elsewhere has found similar numbers of ordinary basement tinkerers, regarded by some as a talent pool that consumer-products firms need to harness to find fresh profits.

"The consumer innovations uncovered by researchers abroad arise in many sectors, including software, gaming, sporting equipment and automotive," says an Industry Canada description of the survey project.

A landmark 2011 research paper by lead author Eric von Hippel, an MIT professor in Cambridge, Mass., argued that consumer-products companies need to pay more attention to these amateur inventors.

"Companies will have to help their own product developers look at consumer-developed innovations with new eyes — not just as poorly engineered amateurish efforts," says the paper.

History is full of consumer innovations that went from obscurity to millions of dollars of sales in short order.

Governments need to create regulatory environments that encourage innovations, such as allowing unlicensed users access to some radio spectrums to experiment, he said. And some web sites, such as www.thingiverse.com, can act as marketplaces for basement inventions.

But change will not come overnight as researchers are still measuring the phenomenon and its economic potential, von Hippel said.

Syria and its patron Iran hinted at possible retribution, though the rhetoric in official statements appeared relatively muted.

Despite new concerns about a regional war, Israeli officials signaled they will keep trying to block what they see as an effort by Iran to send sophisticated weapons to Lebanon's Hezbollah militia ahead of a possible collapse of Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.

Israel has repeatedly threatened to intervene in the Syrian civil war to stop the transfer of what it calls "game-changing" weapons to Hezbollah, a Syrian-backed group that battled Israel to a stalemate during a monthlong war in 2006.

"The Jews have the greatest powers of sorcery, and they make use of this tool," Mehdi Taeb told students at a religious seminary in Ahwaz on April 20.

The Zionists, he claimed, also used their magic to try to interfere in the 2009 presidential elections in which they attempted to oust Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

"So far, they have not used the full [scope of] their sorcery against us. Sorcery was the final means to which they resorted during the Ahmadinejad era, but they were defeated. This ability of the Jews was eliminated by Iran. Five years ago they tried to oust Ahmadinejad [by this means]," he said.

"The Jews have always tended to resort to divination, [a practice] that has its roots in astronomy, astrology and sorcery, [which they picked up] when they consorted with various peoples in the course of history. They cherished this [knowledge] like a treasure, generation after generation. In most cases, they base their predictions on the holy book [the Old Testament], especially on the book of Daniel, and they create an ideological climate in which the appreciation of sorcery and the yearning for it increase," the article translated by MEMRI said.

As scientists have been able to see farther and deeper into the universe, the laws of gravity have been revealed to be under the influence of an unexplained force.

Two branches of theories have sprung up, each trying to fill its gaps in a different way. One branch — dark energy — suggests that the vacuum of space has an energy associated with it and that energy causes the observed acceleration.

The other falls under the umbrella of “scalar-tensor” gravity theories, which effectively posits a fifth force (beyond gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces) that alters gravity on cosmologically large scales.

“These two possibilities are both radical in their own way,” Jain said. “One is saying that general relativity is correct, but we have this strange new form of energy. The other is saying we don't have a new form of energy, but gravity is not described by general relativity everywhere.”

Jain’s research is focused on the latter possibility; he is attempting to characterize the properties of this fifth force that disrupts the predictions general relativity makes outside our own galaxy, on cosmic length scales.

The accelerating universe observation, for example, relied upon cepheid data for scale.“Now that we understand a little bit more about what makes the cepheids pulsate — a balance of gravity and pressure — we can use them to learn about gravity, not just distance,” Jain said. “If the fifth force enhances gravity even a little bit, it will make them pulsate faster.”

“If we compare galaxies that don't permit this extra force, like our own galaxy, with others that do, then we should see a difference in the way those galaxies’ cepheids behave,” Jain said. “Because this new force would increase the speed of their oscillations and because we can use the rate of their oscillations to their measure distance from us, the measurement we get from cepheids in unscreened galaxies should be smaller than distance measurements made with different techniques.”

Jain and his colleagues ultimately did not see variation between their control sample of screened galaxies and their test sample of unscreened ones. Their results line up exactly with the prediction of Einstein’s general relativity. This means that the potential range and strength of the fifth force is severely constrained.

“We find consistency with Einstein’s theory of gravity and we sharply narrow the space available to these other theories. Many of these theories are now ruled out by the data,” Jain said.With better data on nearby galaxies in the coming years, Jain expects that an entire class of gravity theories could essentially be eliminated.

When men and women aged 50-plus played Road Tour for ten hours, tests showed that a year later their minds had not slowed with age. Instead, they had become sharper.

On average, their brains were three years younger overall – but in one test of speed and attention they were almost seven years younger.

The professor of health management who ran the tests attributed the ‘remarkable’ results to the range of skills needed in the relatively simple game.

Professor Fred Wolinsky, who has no financial stake in Road Tour, said: ‘We know that this can stop the decline and actually restore cognitive processing speed to some people. So, if we know that, shouldn’t we be helping people?

‘It’s fairly easy and older folks can go get the game and play it.’

The game, which can be accessed online for a fee, involves remembering two things – a vehicle and a road sign.

At the start, the player is shown either a car or a truck and told to remember it. The vehicle is encircled by a series of symbols which includes one road sign and the player also has to memorise the sign’s position.

Later in the game, they have to identify the vehicle again and the position of the road sign. As the game progresses, the amount of time allowed is cut, the car and truck shapes become more similar and the amount of distracting and irrelevant information increases.

This reminded me of the mystery mineral from Wales discovered by Arthur Adams and which he used to power his home when it is wetted.

a silver grey metal which he claims gives off electrical energy -- has brought cynicism and disbelief from mineral scientists and a warning under the Official Secrets Act.

Arthur Adams, who lives quietly in a village near Ipswich says that there is enough of the material available to transform dramatically Britain's energy resources. In fact, to prove his point, he already claims to run clocks, a radio, and a small TV set at his home -- just by plugging into his piece of strange metal.

Geologists and mineralogists says there is no natural mineral on earth which they don't know about. And that no natural element could generate the prodigious electric energy claimed by Mr. Adams. Mr Adams, a retired ultra-sonic engineer and radiologist who once worked on Concorde, patented his discovery under a trade name. But the Ministry of Defence warned him in writing that his find was covered by the Official Secrets Acts. He was not to reveal the components of the substance or it's location.

Mr. Adams is not an amiable crank. As a consultant specialist metal prospector, he uses a device of his own invention for detecting all types of minerals. He has been prospecting for years in the mineral rich area of the Mawddach Estuary where there are active gold mines and huge deposits of copper, zinc and lead. There are other rare metals there too.

He said yesterday: "This substance is a combination of natural elements in a hitherto undiscovered form and which could have taken tens of thousands of years to discover scientifically." "I have analysed it and I know what it is, but for the time being I have been ordered to keep the secret."

The energy source he says he has discovered is like a huge natural battery in the earth -- and it has nothing to do with the fusion of zinc and copper. "Believe me" he said earnestly "this is big, very big indeed. "it can produce a limitless supply of power... it gives off huge voltages and amps and it is self-regenerating."

What is more, he claims to have synthesised the metal. He can produce it himself. Although he is bound to secrecy until the Government scientists have investigated the metal, Mr. Adams revealed some fascinating possibilities for it.

A piece no bigger that a shirt button could replace batteries in cars and commercial vehicles. A slab half the size of a shoe box could provide all the power and light for a normal three up and two down family house -- for next to nothing.

Officials at the Institute of Geological Scientists who prospect for and map minerals in Britain said yesterday: "We have not discovered any minerals with these properties. If it is a substance unknown to science it is extremely exciting -- but we doubt it." But Arthur Adams is unabashed. He is content to await a verdict of the Government scientists.

"In Steve's situation, what he can see at 20 feet, the standard eye can see 200 feet away, ten times larger," Optometrist Henry Greene said.

Goetz can only make out things that are directly in front of him, but Dr. Greene's new invention called the "Sightscope" have changed that.

The Sightscope went on the market just a couple of months ago. Dr. Greene says only about 1,000 optometrists are trained to help people who suffer from this kind of severe visual impairment. He says the best candidates for the Sightscope are people who have had visual impairment since birth or seniors suffering macular degeneration. The device costs just under $1,000.

OcuTech SightScope - BIOPTIC POSITION: Allows for convenient switching of line of sight between the carrier lenses and the telescope with just a slight head tilt. Ideal for mobility, classroom, shopping and social settings. Standard frames for bioptic positioning: Ocutech “K,” Ocutech “Unisex”

FULL DIAMETER POSITION: Allows for normal posture for straight-ahead activities such as television, theater, sporting events and other extended viewing activities. Simply flip the telescope out of the way when it’s not required. Standard frames for full-diameter positioning: Ocutech “Sleek”

But the team behind the project recently showed up at the CHI 2013 conference in Paris with some more in-depth details about how IllumiRoom will not only expand the game screen, but completely alter the appearance of your living room."

IllumiRoom is a proof-of-concept system that augments the area surrounding a television with projected visualiza­tions to enhance traditional gaming experiences.

We investigate how projected visualizations in the periphery can negate, include, or augment the existing physical environ­ment and complement the content displayed on the television screen. Peripheral projected illusions can change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new physical gaming experiences.

Our system is entirely self-calibrating and is designed to work in any room. We present a detailed exploration of the design space of peripheral projected illusions and we demonstrate ways to trigger and drive such illusions from gaming content.

Government officials and a top airline executive were among those caught.

At DFW, thousands of employees have Secure Identification Display Area (SIDA) badges. But SIDA badges can only be used by employees that are on-duty and they're not allowed to take anyone else through the door with them.

“You sign a piece of paper when you get your badge that says I have read and understand the rules,” said DFW Airport spokesman, David Magana.

Out of more than 140 confirmed security violations in two years – at least 106 were linked to badge holding employees and vendors.

Magana said the airport is confident its security system catches the vast majority of violators and if any are sneaking through, “that number is very small.”

Aviation Security Consultant Chaim Koppel suspects for every one worker who gets caught as many as two or three abusing their badges manage to get through.

Koppel, who works with the TSA and airports and airlines all over the globe, said in a perfect world, airports would shut down the employee portals and require all employees to go through screening each day like passengers.

I wouldn't give them another dime to spend on extra planet exploration until they come up with more advanced methods of flight.

There are so many with amazing potential methods that could truly take us into the future and much cheaper.

But they are 'stuck' on rockets...I think its a male thing...some kind of penile penetration fantasy.

Ion drive, electrostatics, inertial and best of all, true cancellation or redirection of local gravity.

You and I know there are dozens of patents and dozens of people who claim to have done conquered gravity but always something happens to them or their discovery...but history shows us we HAVE conquered gravity, many times, but it was lost in time and what was left was relegated to religious cults as miracles.

Just because you can fly doesn't mean you are a god, just that you understand how gravity works and can control it at will.

With all the money NASA has blown on rockets, we should have several options for space flight by now PLUS it would change transportation on earth from 2d to 3d...

Not a fan because NASA is so badly managed...and I really detest their constant media whoring trying to get more public goodwill in order to get more money they can waste on backwards technology.

+13 BILLION A YEAR...and still using rockets. People will say but yes, they do have antigrav because Area 51 reverse engineered alien craft...not a bit of proof for any of that.

If it WAS true, that we had antigrav or non-rocket propulsion methods, then we'd be COLONIZING other planets by now....UNLESS our keepers (the govt and whoever secretly runs it) don't want earthlings to have and use advanced flight and don't want us to be able to escape to other planets...

Instead keep us in endless wars and near poverty fighting over OIL and CONTROL so people cannot have the time or resources to help us evolve and improve and move out into space.

Once we have free energy and gravity control, EVERYTHING changes...borders, governments, war/death over oil, religions, cultures, all change because everyone can make the power they need and travel wherever they wish...this surely scares the bejesus out of all governments because they cannot control this. Once those genies are out of the lamp, we can FINALLY advance and start to evolve into what we COULD BE, not what we are limited to be by our keepers...

Well, you have to give NASA credit for their press release department...many will be simply bedazzled (as intended) and think this little CGI cartoon is real...when its all made up JUST to get more funding for more stupid rockets.

20 minutes for a signal to GET to Mars and 20 minutes for it to return to Earth....doesn't that simple fact tell us we are being SNOWED. Just continue to ignore the Moon where we need a permanent base and colony as a launching point for other parts of space.

We need humans in space in advanced propulsion devices...orbit a planet and use robot scouts to explore and humans to fine tune what the robots find by going down in person...find colonizable planets or those rich in resources...setup robotic self-repairing factories which would produce ENDLESS appliances and goods for us all to use for free.

Thats the last thing any government wants...utopia on earth where people get everything they want for free and so are NOT controlled and told what you can have, what you can or cannot do and when, etc..

We should all be free to have our own autonomous house which generates its own power, makes all the water we need through condensation from the air...processes waste back to non-toxic atomic levels and means to get around easily such as gravity control vehicles...live anywhere we choose, without fear of invasion or control, on mountains, seas, deserts...we could grow our own food, use our skills to invent and build things to trade for other products...raise our kids and enjoy our lives without wars, being invaded by governments gone wild, police who now think they are soldiers with their SWAT equipment...

Where are the Andy of Mayberry cops like it was when I grew up in North Texas...where the cops were there to serve and help instead of eyeing everyone with suspicion and stopping you for nothing to check your papers hoping they can find something they can take you in for.

Instead of a world free of war and destruction...we have allowed it to happen and actively promote it. Well not WE, but our idiot out of control wild politicians, governments and special interest groups like oil companies, weapons dealers, drug companies, bankers and many more who have learned how to work the system, with bribes and threats to tilt things in their favor.

They say they have discovered a specific age-related signalling pathway which opens up new strategies for combating diseases of old age and extending lifespan.

‘What's exciting is that it's possible - at least in mice - to alter signalling within the hypothalamus to slow down the ageing process and increase longevity.’

The hypothalamus, located deep within the brain, is known to play fundamental roles in growth, development, reproduction and metabolism.

‘As people age you can detect inflammatory changes in various tissues. ‘Inflammation is also involved in various age-related diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, neurological disease and many types of cancer.’

In the latest study, the team showed that activating the protein complex pathway in the hypothalamus of mice significantly accelerated the development of ageing, as shown by various physiological, cognitive and behavioural tests.

He said: ‘The mice showed a decrease in muscle strength and size, in skin thickness, and in their ability to learn - all indicators of ageing.

‘Activating this pathway promoted systemic ageing that shortened the lifespan.’

they also found that blocking the pathway in the hypothalamus of mouse brains slowed ageing and increased longevity by about 20 per cent. The researchers also found that activating the pathway in the hypothalamus caused declines in levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is made in the hypothalamus.

Suspecting that reduced release of GnRH from the brain might contribute to whole-body ageing, the researchers injected the hormone into aged mice and made the striking observation that the hormone injections protected them from the impaired neurogenesis – creation of new neurons - associated with ageing.

When aged mice received daily GnRH injections for a prolonged period, the therapy exerted benefits that included the slowing of age-related cognitive decline, probably the result of neurogenesis.

I've used my Mexistim for 10 years now. I sleep on a 3 X 4 foot wirescreen hooked up to my Mexistim sitting on my nightstand and always powered on. It uses very little electricity. It helps me get a deep, healing sleep and I think of it as 'health maintenance' because all of the above listed effects I have noticed from using this device.

The international nuclear fusion project – known as Iter, meaning “the way” in Latin – is designed to demonstrate a new kind of nuclear reactor capable of producing unlimited supplies of cheap, clean, safe and sustainable electricity from atomic fusion.

If Iter demonstrates that it is possible to build commercially-viable fusion reactors then it could become the experiment that saved the world in a century threatened by climate change and an expected three-fold increase in global energy demand.

“We’ve passed from the design stage to being a construction project. We will have to show it is safe. If we cannot convince the public that this is safe, I don’t think nuclear fusion will be developed anywhere in the world,” Dr Alejaldre said.

Now, in the last decade, nearly a third of manufacturing jobs are gone.

As manufacturing goes the way of agriculture, the job market must shift into new types of work lest mass technological unemployment and civil unrest overtake these beneficial gains."

While United Technologies (and other manufacturing firms) may not be adding jobs, it’s strange to blame today’s high rate of unemployment on the trend. Due in large part to automation, manufacturing jobs have been disappearing for over 30 years. During that period, unemployment has been as high as 10.8% and as low as 3.8%.

A better headline might read, “recovery in the US is lifting profits, but not adding traditional jobs in manufacturing and that’s nothing new.”

It’s rarely noted, but even as manufacturing jobs have steadily decreased, total manufacturing output has steadily grown. Since World War II, manufacturing output in the US has risen over 700%. While rising productivity is often demonized as a job killer, in truth, it is a very powerful force for good in the modern economy.

One argument says that this time is different because soon robots will be able to do everything a human does. But it’s misguided to assume we can forecast what humans “will do.”

What that statement really means is, “In the future, robots will do everything humans do today.” But what exactly it is that humans will do in the future is anyone’s guess—and few, if any, have ever successfully predicted it.

Before the 20th century, most folks in the West farmed. Now, thanks to massive productivity gains in agriculture, virtually none do. To a 19th century farmer that would imply nothing less than the collapse of the economy. Why? Because the thing most people did back then was farm. Our farmer might understandably wonder, “What will we do when machines perform our jobs for us? How will we make money? How will we survive?”

We are gifted with the vision of our times and cursed with the temptation to extrapolate that vision into the future.

How could our farmer know that in 2013 humans would be paid to make movies, pick up garbage, write online, build robots, clean bathrooms, engineer rockets, lead guided tours, drive trucks, play in garage bands, brew artisanal beer, or write code?

Will more and more machines doing the work of men, result in a new Luddite Movement - Luddites, named after the mythical English folk hero Ned "King" Ludd, were terrified of what Industrial Revolution tech meant for their lives. For many of them, it meant the destruction of their lives—the loss of their vocations. Sound familiar?

Patent attorney Andrew Schroeder was trying to win a patent for a telescoping tripod sprinkler cart invented by his client, one David Brueske. The patent examiner -- the official who reviews the application and ultimately decides if it is worthy of a product -- was Alexander Valvis.

Apparently, Schroeder had become frustrated with Valvis. Here is what the lawyer wrote, which became, for a while at least, part of the official record:

Are you drunk? No, seriously... are you drinking scotch and whiskey with a side of crack cocaine while you "examine" patent applications? (Heavy emphasis on the quotes.) Do you just mail merge rejection letters from your home? Is that what taxpayers are getting in exchange for your services? Have you even read the patent application? I'm curious. Because you either haven't read the patent application or are... (I don't want to say the "R" word) "Special."

Numerous examples abound in terms of this particular Examiner not following the law. Clearly, the combination of references would render the final product to be inoperable for its intended use. However, for this Special Needs Examiner, logic just doesn't cut it. It is manifestly clear that this Examiner has a huge financial incentive to reject patent applications so he gets a nice Christmas bonus at the end of the year. When in doubt, reject right?

Since when did the USPTO become a post World War II jobs program? What's the point of hiring 2,000 additional examiners when 2,000 rubber stamps would suffice just fine? So, tell me something Corky...what would it take for a patent application to be approved? Do we have to write patent applications in crayon? Does a patent application have to come with some sort of pop-up book? Do you have to be a family member or some big law firm who incentivizes you with some other special deal? What does it take Corky?

Perhaps you might want to take your job seriously and actually give a sh.t! What's the point in having to deal with you Special Olympics rejects when we should just go straight to Appeals? While you idiots sit around in bathtubs farting and picking your noses, you should know that there are people out here who actually give a sh.t about their careers, their work, and their dreams.

Your job is not a joke, but you are turning it into a regular three ring circus. If you can't motivate yourself to take your job seriously, then you need to quit and let someone else take over what that actually wants to do the job right.

Using the luciferase gene, the enzyme responsible for making fireflies glow, the researchers will design, print, and transform the genes into the target plant.

The project, which was recently launched on Kickstarter, has already raised over $100k with over a month left to go."

To create the glowing plants, the team will first generate modified genes with the Genome Compiler software, then insert them into Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant related to mustard and cabbage (they make sure to point out that the plant is not edible). The main gene, luciferase, is the same one that makes fireflies light up the night.

Evans acknowledges that this isn’t the first time luciferase has been used to create glowing plants. But to create plants bright enough to light our way will take a lot of optimizing. The feature that they’ve already worked out is modifying the luciferase gene so that it recycles, as lots of the enzyme will be needed to make the plant sufficiently bright.

Evans acknowledged that they’ve encountered a fair amount of skepticism, but the team hopes to convert those skeptics. “More than lighting streets it’s about educating and inspiring the public – it’s not as dangerous as people think. We want to put a beautiful plant in their hands and show them it’s useful and safe.”

The Velkess Flywheel's proposal is to use the cheap and common “E-glass” fibreglass as the rotating mass – something which the project's Bill Gray says has already been demonstrated at small scale, Kickstarter Project.

Gray says the current prototype can store 0.5 kWh of energy. To act as a serious storage unit for off-grid power applications – replacing lead acid batteries for remote solar or wind installations – Gray wants to get the storage up to 15 kWh.

To do that, he says, the project needs to create a 750-pound (340 kg) flywheel to replace the current 25-pound (11kg) unit, and create a magnetic motor and bearing assembly that can handle the heavy flywheel.

The Sun provides 0.16 watts per square centimetre (in space, not on Earth). That's the kind of energy EOS has to deliver at the piece of space junk, aimed in the direction you want to move the object. For that, EOS proposes starting with a 10kW laser.

That might sound like a surprisingly small laser for moving something in space – but to change something's orbit needs a lot less punch than to get a car moving on the ground. A lot less, as Professor Smith pointed out: “If we can change the object's velocity by one millimetre per second, then we can move it [That is, change its orbit – Ed] 100 meters in 24 hours.”

That, he said, is sufficient to move the object out of the “uncertainty zone” in which it has the potential to collide with active satellites.

The guidelines recommend that "that in-vehicle devices be designed so that they cannot be used by the driver to perform these inherently distracting activities while driving," the NHTSA said in a report.

An NHTSA study found that text messaging, browsing and dialing resulted in drivers taking their eyes off the road for the longest time of electronic activities the agency studied. Text messaging increased the risk of a crash or near-crash by two times and took drivers' eyes off the road for an average of 23.3 seconds, the agency said.

Activities performed when completing a phone call -- reaching for a phone, looking up a contact and dialing the number -- increased the risk by three times, the agency said.

The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group, praised the NHTSA for "recognizing the importance" of hands-free technology, but it raised concerns about the recommendation that auto makers disable in-dash electronics without also addressing handheld devices.

"Our concern is that limiting built-in systems without simultaneously addressing portable devices could result in drivers choosing not to connect their phones in order to access the functionality they want," the alliance said in a statement.

The ward has decided to invest 6 million yen from this fiscal year to develop what it has nicknamed "Neri-shiba" (Nerima grass). It is promoting the turf as a way to cut costs and increase the green coverage ratio--the proportion of land area covered by greenery.

Neri-shiba consists of 10-centimeter-long artificial blades with wider-than-normal gaps between the rows of the turf. These gaps are filled with sand about eight centimeters deep and seeded with natural grass seeds.

A turf installation firm said this type of ground cover has been used for soccer fields overseas, as it holds up well to being stepped on. But the company had never heard of it being used for greenification projects.

The ward is enthusiastic about introducing Neri-shiba because of rapid progress in residential land development in the ward, which is reducing greenery.

Nerima Ward's current green coverage ratio is 25 percent, the highest among Tokyo's 23 wards, but its rate has been gradually slipping.

Unlike natural turf, which requires regular maintenance such as watering and cutting, the ward claims that Neri-shiba is easy to maintain and costs can be kept low.

The official said mixing artificial turf with natural grass is something they did not anticipate.

Neri-shiba uses artificial turf made of plastic, there are concerns it will cause temperatures to rise under the strong summer sun.

Experts say it remains to be seen how much it will reduce the so-called heat island phenomenon in urban areas, even when it is mixed with natural grass.

This is a brand new entry level desktop laser engraver and cutter designed for hobbyists capable of cutting/engraving many materials such as paper, 1/4" acrylic and 1/4" wood as well as marking anodized aluminum and Thermark treated metals.

With this laser you can engrave from any Windows application that can print to a standard printer including CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Autocad, Inkscape and even MS Word and MS Paint.

This is made possible because the machine uses the powerful RetinaEngrave USB controller with Direct Print Drivers manufactured and available exclusively at Full Spectrum Laser.

For cutting wood and acrylic the machine has a honeycomb table and exhaust fan.

This fourth generation model uses a CO2 laser and a visible red laser pointer. For a $300 upgrade you can replace the red laser pointer with a beam combiner.

This is a special optic that passes the CO2 laser through the back and reflects red laser light from the front, combining the two beams together.

A novel device being developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) could reduce those emissions by 20 percent by using heat from the sun to convert natural gas to an alternative fuel called syngas, a lower carbon fuel.

The process avoids the intermittency problem of solar panels, whose output depends on the weather and the time of day. The fuel produced by the new device can be stored and used whenever it’s needed to generate a steady supply of electricity.

The researchers’ goal is to use the device to produce electricity at six cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity, which is competitive with fossil fuels.

The device uses a parabolic dish to concentrate light from the sun, producing heat. That heat provides the energy needed to transform methane into syngas, which is a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

Water is heated up to produce steam, which is then used in a process called steam reforming, which is used in oil refining and other industrial processes. During steam reforming, steam reacts with methane, the main component of natural gas, to form syngas.

The researchers coated the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes with radioactive antibodies and injected the bacterium into mice with pancreatic cancer that had spread to multiple sites.

After several doses, the mice that had received the radioactive bacteria had 90% fewer metastases compared with mice that had received saline or radiation alone."

The work, which is described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences1, began when Ekaterina Dadachova of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York thought of combining two ways to fight cancer. She studies how radioactive isotopes can be used as anti-cancer weapons, and her colleague Claudia Gravekamp has been looking at whether weakened bacteria can be used to carry compounds that provoke a patient’s white blood cells into attacking the cancer. “I thought maybe we could combine the power of radiation with the power of live bacteria,” Dadachova says.

Sometimes found in food, the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe infection, but is usually wiped out by the immune system. Exploiting the fact that cancer cells tend to suppress the immune reaction to avoid being destroyed, the two researchers and their collaborators decided to coat Listeria with radioactive antibodies and injected the bacterium into mice with pancreatic cancer that had spread to multiple sites.

After several doses, the mice that had received the radioactive bacteria had 90% fewer metastases compared with mice that had received saline or radiation alone. “That was the first time we'd seen such a big effect,” says Gravekamp.

While previous cloaking studies have used metamaterials to divert, or bend, the incoming waves around an object, this new method, which the researchers dub “mantle cloaking”, uses an ultrathin metallic metascreen to cancel out the waves as they are scattered off the cloaked object.

“When the scattered fields from the cloak and the object interfere, they cancel each other out and the overall effect is transparency and invisibility at all angles of observation,” said co-author and Electrical and Computer Engineering assistant professor Andrea Alú.

Mantle cloaking has potential applications in both the defense and healthcare industries. For instance, this cloaking method could be used for radar camouflaging to avoid detection by radars.

“Mantle cloaking would work better than stealth because it can suppress the shadow of an object, not only its reflections,” Alu said. “It may also have applications for radio communications by eliminating the interference between closely spaced atennas, improving cellular or radio communications in crowded environments.”

The metascreen cloak was made by attaching thin strips of copper tape to a flexible polycarbonate film, which is a fraction of a millimeter thick, in a fishnet design.

The tendencies for unmarried people to die seems to tell us about the relative strength of social bonds, which is supported by similar trends seen among ants, bees, and even cells, described in a fascinating paper in Cornell’s quantitative biology archive.

In 1994, French entymologists found that insects in groups of ten live longer than those in groups of one or two. The survivorship curves for ants and termites looked like this, with the y-axis representing the percentage of survivors and the thin solid lines representing solitary bugs...

The same thing, it turns out, happens with cells, which die unless they get signals from their neighbors “telling” them to stay alive.

So the effect tends to be stronger in men than women, with young widowers faring worse than older.

To see how consistent this pattern was, a group of physicists and etymologists got together, put insects in isolated groups (kept alive by “a tampon with sugar water which was changed every week”) and waited for them to die. They found that, for the most part, single ants died much more quickly than ants living in groups of 10, with an average death rate that was about 2 to 3 times higher. A similar pattern seemed to occur for fruit flies, even though they’re not thought of as social insects.

Death from isolation appeared to occur very quickly: in cells within 5 to 6 days of being kept in low concentrations; in insects 3 to 4 days after they were isolated; and in human widowers within the first year after the death of their spouse.

The effect was seen as a “shock” as opposed to a smooth transition — once isolated, cells, insects, and humans all die quickly. Just how quickly they died varied, though: the shock for ants was about 10 times greater than it was for fruit flies.

The inert metal cubes will suit connoisseurs who prefer their liqueur on the rocks but cannot stand their drinks being watered down by ice.

The stainless steel cubes, known as a 'Puc', also let the drinker more accurately control the temperature as they become colder the more are added.

Designer Dave Laituri, 51, from Wayland, Massachusetts, said he was inspired by the former trend of using cold ball bearings to 'ice' drinks.

He said: 'Early in my design career, I heard a story that famous designer Raymond Loewy used to drink scotch with chilled with ball bearings.

'By using ball bearings, it doesn't dilute the drink with excess water, and that image has always stuck with me for some reason.'

However, he changed the shape because he said the balls would move around too much as the drinker sipped.

He said: 'The ball bearings were too mobile and would often take a leap for freedom and roll across the floor when given the chance.

A month later, Turk saw an ad on the news seeking multiple sclerosis patients to try out an unusual new treatment at the University of Wisconsin, in his hometown of Madison. Patients were being asked to infect themselves with live pig whipworm eggs to see if the parasites alleviated any of their symptoms or slowed the spread of telltale brain and spine lesions.

“I’ve always had a research interest so I decided to put my money where my mouth is,” Turk says. “Plus I was terrified and didn’t know what to do.”

When Turk arrived at the clinic, John Fleming, a professor of neurology, presented him with a vial of clear liquid. “It tasted a little bit salty but otherwise it was just water," says Turk. "I couldn’t see the eggs or anything.”

For the next three months, he and four others visited the lab every two weeks to swallow doses of 2,500 parasite eggs. At the start of the trial, MRI scans showed patients had an average of 6.6 active lesions – scars on the protective layer around nerve cells that disrupt the transmission of electrical messages in the brain and spinal cord.

AT THE MOMENT, such responses appear to be only subjective and almost impossible to quantify with metrics. But it is a field that is wide open to invention and discovery for those who wish to pursue it.

We need some way to measure these effects.....I believe they work but I'm not sensitive enough to such things to be confident in what I MIGHT be feeling. But read the forward in the link above to show how much history (and it lists only a fraction of the investigators) there have been on this subject.

You know, there should be some way TO AMPLIFY the body sensitivity to all these subtle energies...if we haven't yet found a way to measure them technically, we should be able to ramp up and amplify our own natural abilities.

We need a METER or a SCOPE or CAMERA that can view and quantify with numbers the virtual state energies that emit from mass and reflect in the real world as complex frequencies. An orchestra of notes for every mass.

WHEN I get my lab, I plan to buy an Arbitrary Waveform Generator...you program the waveform you want and repeat it at whatever freq you want...CAN YOU IMAGINE what you could discover with that???

About quantifying the effect...a camera is a good start, reaction on plants, mold, insects are another way and ideally some kind of multimeter or frequency spectrum analyzer to map the patterns for analysis and experimentation...thus the arbitrary waveform generator.

So lets find some red kryptonite that will AMPLIFY our powers and let us qualify, then QUANTIFY all this spooky stuff so we can use it in hardware...

I suspect, like using biofeedback training to teach you how to GET THERE, then PROVING you ARE THERE with meters, etc...and then how to GET BACK OUT SAFELY...

I think we will, with exposure to subtle energies harnessed in machines, eventually learn to do it all with our own minds and no longer need the hardware.

Everything is frequency and combined frequencies...like Keely's CHORDS (normally 3) but they can be many frequencies to map the reality of the mass being tested...we learn to do that and we can 4D print REALITY and bring forth from the aether/zpe anything we can imagine and sustain the pattern long enough for it to 'materialize'...

(I knew a guy who knew some way advanced radionics experimenters, they lived out near Apache Junction, AZ about 50 or so years ago...one evening all sitting on the desert patio watching this big jackrabbit nervously grazing about 150 feet away...one guy went in, brought out what looked like a hollow wooden tube...he said watch this...the rabbit was hopping around, the guy pointed the rod at the rabbit while in mid-jump...no noise, no smoke, no heat, no light from the tube...the rabbit fell to the ground DEAD.

IBM says current concentration photovoltaic systems collect electrical energy and dissipate the thermal energy to the atmosphere. But this prototype known as a High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal system eliminates the overheating problems of solar chips while repurposing the energy for thermal water desalination and adsorption cooling.

IBM says the prototype HCPVT system uses a large parabolic dish, made from a multitude of mirror facets, which are attached to a sun tracking system. The tracking system positions the dish at the best angle to capture the sun's rays, which then reflect off the mirrors onto several microchannel-liquid cooled receivers with triple junction photovoltaic chips -- each 1x1 centimeter chip can convert 200-250 watts, on average, over a typical eight hour day in a sunny region.

The entire receiver combines hundreds of chips and provides 25 kilowatts of electrical power. The photovoltaic chips are mounted on micro-structured layers that pipe liquid coolants within a few tens of micrometers off the chip to absorb the heat and draw it away 10 times more effective than with passive air cooling, IBM said. The coolant maintains the chips almost at the same temperature for a solar concentration of 2,000 times and can keep them at safe temperatures up to a solar concentration of 5,000 times.

The solar concentrating optics will be developed by ETH Zurich. "Advanced ray-tracing numerical techniques will be applied to optimize the design of the optical configuration and reach uniform solar fluxes exceeding 2,000 suns at the surface of the photovoltaic cell," said Aldo Steinfeld, Professor at ETH Zurich in a statement.

With such a high concentration and a low cost design, scientists believe they can achieve a cost per aperture area below $250 per square meter, which is three times lower than comparable systems, IBM claims. The cost of energy will be less than 10 cents per kilowatt hour (KWh). For comparison, feed in tariffs for electrical energy in Germany are currently still larger than 25 cents per KWh and production cost at coal power stations are around 5-10 cents per KWh, IBM said.

Runguan’s robots peel noodle strips from a firm piece of dough and tosses them directly into boiling water “before diners’ eyes can follow the whole process.” To Zhao and a growing number of restaurant owners in China, choosing robots over human noodle cooks is a no-brainer.

While a cook doing the same job would make about 40,000 yuan ($6,400) per year, the robot cost him just 10,000 yuan ($1,600). And no human chef can work so tirelessly.

Its price is already down from $2,000 this past August, which is no doubt a big reason why more than 3,000 restaurants that have already relegated their noodle-making to the robot. As the technology improves and the cost to build and run the robot drops, business will only get better for Runguan, who has received four patents for the technology.

That humans can be replaced by robots that do the job faster and cheaper is an idea that now pervades Chinese employers. “Chinese companies usually start considering robots when the payment for a skilled worker exceeds 50,000 yuan ($8,060) a year,” Tan Xueke, a manager at the Xinsong Robot Automation Company in Shenynang, told Xinhua News Agency.

The repetitive action that goes into preparing certain foods such as noodles makes automation an obvious choice. In Japan robots are already being used to make sushi, and a robot in San Francisco can serve up 340 hamburgers an hour. But while robotic cooks provide restaurants a novelty for customers and savings for owners, other robots are invading China’s workplace on a much grander scale.

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) - And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

International Standard Version (©2012) - The jar of flour never ran out and the bottle of oil never became empty, just as the LORD had promised through Elijah.

Cornucopia

Classical mythology offers multiple explanations of the origin of the cornucopia. One of the best-known involves the birth and nurturance of the infant Zeus, who had to be hidden from his devouring father Cronus. In a cave on Mount Ida on the island of Crete, baby Zeus was cared for and protected by a number of divine attendants, including the goat Amalthea ("Nourishing Goddess"), who fed him with her milk.

The suckling future king of the gods had unusual abilities and strength, and in playing with his nursemaid accidentally broke off one of her horns, which then had the divine power to provide unending nourishment, as the foster mother had to the god.[1]

In another myth, the cornucopia was created when Heracles (Roman Hercules) wrestled with the river god Achelous and wrenched off one of his horns; river gods were sometimes depicted as horned.[2] This version is represented in the Achelous and Hercules mural painting by the American Regionalist artist Thomas Hart Benton.

The cornucopia became the attribute of several Greek and Roman deities, particularly those associated with the harvest, prosperity, or spiritual abundance, such as personifications of Earth (Gaia or Terra); the child Plutus, god of riches and son of the grain goddess Demeter; the nymph Maia; and Fortuna, the goddess of luck, who had the power to grant prosperity.

In Roman Imperial cult, abstract Roman deities who fostered peace (pax Romana) and prosperity were also depicted with a cornucopia, including Abundantia, "Abundance" personified, and Annona, goddess of the grain supply to the city of Rome. Pluto, the classical ruler of the underworld in the mystery religions, was a giver of agricultural, mineral and spiritual wealth, and in art often holds a cornucopia to distinguish him from the gloomier Hades, who holds a drinking horn instead.[3]

The findings, however, might come as a disappointment.

In early publicity, filmmakers claimed the documentary would reveal that the DNA of the creature with an oversized alien-looking head couldn't be medically classified.

In fact, the film, which premiered Monday in Hollywood, features a scientist who concluded the little humanoid was human.

THE STORY REEKED FROM DAY ONE!

Early PR for "Sirius" referred to the "paradigm shifting physical evidence of a medically and scientifically analyzed DNA sequenced humanoid creature of unknown classification." This fueled rumors, speculation and more than likely, the hope many people had that, finally, a real alien creature had been discovered and proven to have non-human DNA.

But now that the film is available to everybody, and DNA analysis shows that Ata was human, was that early PR hype about the humanoid a bit premature?

"The sequence that we got from the mitochondria [energy factories of cells] tells us with extremely high confidence that the mother was an indigenous Indian from the Chilean area..."

This is very easy to do and easy to make. Hope some of you find this useful. Great for reading lights or camping. Free energy if you get the camera and battery from used source.

It will also run for over 12 hrs on a single rechargeable battery. Usese hardly any amps. Great for science shows. Circuit diagram for a07 fuji board can be found at the following link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60511976...

To get the most power possible he searched around for a massive relay and found one which was originally meant for telephone exchanges.

He cut the case open and strapped a big bar magnet to the side of the coil.

Next he fabricated an arm which will press against the relay’s lever. To that he added a small wheel which is pressed each time a spoke from the bicycle passes by it.

This repeated clicking of the relay lever generates a current (and a rattling sound) that is harvested by the joule thief circuit built on some protoboard. An LED is illuminated, with excess current stored in the capacitor bank.

" Playing with coils and magnets I discovered a new phenomenon. I toke a mechanical relay and put a strong magnet against the iron around the coil. By pressing the contact lever I changed the magnetic flux inside the core of the relay and induced an electric pulse inside the coil.

First I used a small 12 volt relay. Later I used a bigger relay and placed the strong ceramic magnet directly agains the coil. The pulse that came out by tipping the contact lever was about 30 volt. A LED was flashing with a serious amount of light. The RattleGen was born.

Atmospheric Electricity - In 'fine weather', the potential, aka 'voltage', increases with altitude at about 30 volts per foot (100 V/m), when climbing against the gradient of the electric field.[3]

This electric field gradient continues up into the atmosphere to a point where the voltage reaches its maximum, in the neighborhood of 300,000 volts. This occurs at approximately 30-50 km (18.6-31 miles) above the Earth's surface.[4]

From that point in the atmosphere up to its outer limit, nearly 1,000 km, the electric field gradient produced in the lower atmosphere either ceases or has reversed.

Yes, they are positive but its their physical weight FROM GRAVITY that now keeps them on the planet which is of course, negative.

Our friend Ken Shoulders has discovered a way to force like charges to 'stick together' like clumps of grapes. He calls these EV - Electro Validium (clusters), which might help us achieve this from mass 'clusters' of very high negative or positive potential.

Something Ronnie wrote was familiar about what he told me years ago and also wrote in his last email, ergo;

"The effects of the device in operation ranged from a field dampening effect on nearly every electrical componant including the Geiger counter to un-regulated energy dumps which could manifest in a wide range of mediums."

Now I've known a certain Canadian inventor for many years...he's brilliant, Joseph Hiddink.

For years, I had been looking for info on how the Hurwich device might have worked to 'alter the center of gravity of any conductive mass' when Hiddink says he invented it and Hurwich visited his lab and stole the secret, then copied and claimed he invented it.

I didn't believe him at first, then he explained how it was done...all from his 'one terminal capacitor' patents with similar bizarre effects to what Ronnie is claiming. http://keelynet.com/interact/archive/00000405.htm

Two metal concentric spheres form a capacitor C.

This is charged up to a potential V.

Then the outside sphere is removed.

The remaining sphere is a 1-terminal capacitor with a capacity c.

The potential on this sphere is C/c x V. If C+ 1 microfarad, and c = 50 micromicrofarad, and V = 1000 volts, we get a momentarily pulse of 20 million volts.

And that is positive all alone, OR negative ALL ALONE (ergo, one terminal capacitor). Of course that is difficult to do with these spheres, so the books caution that it was "Just a theoretical problem".

Bu what if we can make a 2-terminal capacitor that can be charged up, and then can be changed into a 1-terminal capacitor? That is what I invented 30 seconds after thinking about it.

This type of capacitor is inside every sphere, with the 1-terminal part connected to the sphere. As no charge can exist inside the sphere, it flows to the outside.

If a sphere sits on the ground, and gives such a pulse, the first pulse may not do much, but the succeeding ones do. Earth will repel that sphere. And once off the ground, the electrical field off the sphere (with succeeding pulses) "sees" the earth's magnetic field as "ground" and tries to get away from it.

And that is how it works. The saucer shape is nothing but a reflector. Steering is accomplished by applying the proper amount of power to each sphere with a joy stick. A sixteen year old girl with heavy glasses and normal IQ could fly it.

Offered to Canada as a birthday present in 1967, it was ridiculed by the NRC (Canada), as nobody ever could invent such a capacitor, and as thus it was rejected. Confronted many years later with the patent, they had to lamely admit, that it could be done after all, but the NRC (Canada) was "Sure that it could not work, no funding!".

After which the President of that institution retired immediately, but not before exhorting his successor to keep this invention in the ridicule section. His successor became head of the Canadian Space Agency. If you apply for a patent, you need the signature of two witnessse, who declare that they understand the invention.

One of the witnesses required, was a German, now Canadian Engineer, who had worked on Hitler's Flying Disk. "My God, why did nobody think about that before...? Why did I not think about that before...?"

And he told me about Hitler's Flying Machine that never worked. "When the project was terminated, we were sworn to secrecy about it, but that is nonsense now, you found it. .. Why did I not think about it before...?" He happens to be the world's foremost expert on the parts to make this capacitor.

Offered to Nasa, the Rocket Experts at the Propulsion Lab, where I was referred to, were "Not interested, thank you.!" You can figure out why.

We can fly to the Moon in three hours, if need be, uncomfortable. Or in comfort, using a constant 1.1 g acceleration in two days. Mars in a few weeks. No osteoporosis and no barfbags. The Space station and all that nonsense is obsolete.

Of course, anyone who can find out how a Flying Saucer works must be an idiot. that is, what I was told at the different "Scientific" Institutes in Canada.

Invention was evaluated by Hermann... (forgot his last name) of the Hudson Institute for Strategical Studies at $600 Billion. Now probably Trillion.

(So far, Hiddink has) Found 1200 applications, from "Starwar" cars that float, electrical engines that need only a battery to start, airplanes that reach any place on earth in two hours, all VTOL, no airports needed, to inexpensive power generators, weather control, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes etc... Oil as an energy source will be out. No pollution and no noise.

Just new to the net I will probably get my own site and start to advertise some applications. I have to make some money too. I wondered of course why the Patent Office never figured that this invention should be "classified", but you never argue with the dumbells that look after your security. Your security Council was informed before too.

Threaten the President of the US, and CIA and FBI will be at your doorstep in five minutes. If all of the US could be in danger, if this invention is used by another party, who cares... Do have a nice day. Regards Joseph Hiddink - President Gravityx

Initial experiment in 1967, zapped all the HiFi's and TV's in the neighborhood (I fixed them all for free, but did not experiment at home anymore, as it also blew after a few seconds a big Power Transformer on a pole 100 yards away, luckily a Squirrel was blamed).

Next experiment in the "sticks" had me lightning coming out of the clear blue sky, when I connected the device with a dog-screw to ground, and generated three pulses of 500,000 volts. Offered to Nasa's Propulsion Lab in Cleveland, it was solidly rejected by the engineers.

"Thank you for sending us a copy of your patent!" Who needs a propulsion engineer, if we, when using this system can be on the Moon in a few hours or at Mars in a day or so, no matter where they are located at the time, and all that without barf-bags, heat-tiles, or osteoporosis? I believe that they tried it a few years ago and caused the big blackout in the USA and Canada, blaming a poor, innocent tree.

They did not know about what precautions to take. Any other experiment that you are working on is just a novelty without any real desirable results. EOF from Joseph Hiddink

Now we've covered high negative potentials to produce flight, so that brings up something I've long studied, how Simon Magus electrostatically flew around Rome and didn't die like the bible says;

http://keelynet.wordpress.com/2010/11/20/electrostatic-levitation/
http://keelynet.wordpress.com/2009/01/30/earliest-reference-describes-christ-as-magician-2/

There are followers of Simon Magus to this day and I understand his gospels survive. Years ago, I read something about how he achieved levitation. I think it was in a Phd thesis about the life and times of Magus.

The claim was he went to a valley between very large mountains, dug a hole in the ground, laid face down at the bottom of the deep hole all night, breathing the air from the earth. This air was negatively charged.

When he arose that morning, his body had absorbed the negative electrical charge and since like charges repel, he weighed much less, sufficient to allow him to swim through the air with a pair of artificial wings.

So it looks like Hiddinck has something similar that produces bizarre side effects...using his 'one terminal capacitor' for high power pure negative or pure positive potential.

Also have to mention the high energy experiments of John Hutchison who also reports bizarre effects using multiple power sources especially with high voltage DC and AC.

There was a fascinating article spelling out the Potergeist like effects seen in the Hutchison experiments where its like a simple mind is born out of the dynamic energy interactions and acting like a new baby extending its senses.

Theorized as this new electrically dynamic mind is trying to map its environment and this sampling of its environment is what produces the POLTERGEIST-LIKE effects. - Full Article Source - Permalink

For applications that need a lot of energy, like playing a radio for a long time, fuel cells and batteries can hold a lot of energy but release it or recharge slowly. ... The new microbatteries offer both power and energy, and by tweaking the structure a bit, the researchers can tune them over a wide range on the power-versus-energy scale (abstract).

The batteries owe their high performance to their internal three-dimensional microstructure. Batteries have two key components: the anode (minus side) and cathode (plus side).

Building on a novel fast-charging cathode design by materials science and engineering professor Paul Braun’s group, King and Pikul developed a matching anode and then developed a new way to integrate the two components at the microscale to make a complete battery with superior performance. With so much power, the batteries could enable sensors or radio signals that broadcast 30 times farther, or devices 30 times smaller.

The batteries are rechargeable and can charge 1,000 times faster than competing technologies – imagine juicing up a credit-card-thin phone in less than a second. In addition to consumer electronics, medical devices, lasers, sensors and other applications could see leaps forward in technology with such power sources available."

The teacher kicked me out of class but fortunately the dean of the college was also a physics major and I gave him the same problem to solve which neither him or the chemistry teacher could find fault in my formula so I was sent back to class and finished out the semester.

Later while looking for a beta battery (which didn't exist) I disclosed the specifications for such a system to members of the Texas A&M factuality in exchange for a unit, if they built any.

They did and about 2 years later I received one hand delivered by U.S. military officers on behalf of the DOE and Texas A&M.

Nearly 5 years later I was able to build a rough proto-type to prove the concept of a much more intense device which I did. The effects of the device in operation ranged from a field dampening effect on nearly every electrical compontant including the Geiger counter to un-regulated energy dumps which could manifest in a wide range of mediums.

The U.S. Patent office in Dallas refused to consider our application for a patent as it is not permitted to issue patents on such things as free energy or perpetual motion type systems.

I built it, it worked, can't afford to build the Spectral Battery but the proto-type proved that the concept was correct.

Ronnie, isn't it past time for you to WRITE ALL THIS STUFF UP and either post it on the net...sell or give it away as an ebook or a print book. Maybe you could setup a kickstarter or indiegogo for funding to do something with it? And what about the technology...you gonna let it die with you???

A spectral battery...a non sequitur don't you think? Since spectral would involve light (AC) and batteries by definition are DC...but the idea of an AC battery is intriguing...maybe multiple source level DC could be referred to as 'spectral'..hmmm.

Ronnie ends with; P.S. are you still skeptical of Jesus Christ the Son of GOD who created all things? I hope not brother cause GOD is giving the world what the world wants and it it not his love that he poured out for us on the cross so GOD is turning us loose to face a world with out his love and mercy. The lamb is gone the lion is coming.

Of course, that pulled my chain so; Ronnie, tsk, tsk...you are so interesting when you are sane, then you have to ruin it all by talking nonsense and myth...bad Ronnie! See; Evil Bible dot com if you dare.

Reminds me of where I come from in North Texas...guys will hear you talking (not just me but anyone)...and say 'you ain't shit'...or 'you ain't gonna do shit!'.

I started working at 11 and LOVED IT...always worked to make my money, so bought comic books, bicycles, microscope, telescope, chemistry set, scooters and a motorcycle, new clothes and gave much of what I made to my mother to help support our family as a result. Made me happy to do it.

Everyone there said it...Then I do 'do shit' and they are stunned...its funny...I do what I can afford to do but have lots of very strange and unorthodox ideas and theories I WILL PROVE OR DISPROVE when I get my own lab to test it all..THEN YOU JUST WATCH!...they'll all be sorry...yes they will!!! (slamming my feet and pouting)..lol...

Examples of 'you ain't gonna do shit' coming from a town with 6,000 people (where Jack Twist lived in Brokeback Moutain, to the unending humiliation of its residents) where I grew up and everyone knows everyone and everyone knows who or what your screwing (Tanya Tucker song)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YplH9jhwNHA

Here is my timeline (not accurate as to sequence) of 'ain't gonna do shit' things that I DID!, SO FAR, JUST HIDE AND WATCH!;

1) 18-22 years of age...saved money to go to tech school in Dallas. Did it and worked for 25 years making up to $25 an hour (not bad back then when most made $15/hr or so) when I quit in 1998.

2) told my friends I was going to start an alt science BBS, did it and still running it since 1988...and spawned many clones...

yada, yada, yada, yeah you get it

Much more but thats enough......sometimes ya just gotta VENT...

So when I TELL you I AM going to;

1) rediscover how to dim gravity
2) discover one or more means of generating free electricity
3) rediscover how to rejuvenate the body
4) verify the technique to grow giant animals, 3 foot chickens to start
5) prove the dead scientists method of knocking off 10-30 years from a special injection
6) produce unlimited water anywhere, deserts, mountains, oceans, etc.
7) dissociate waste back to the atomic state
8) rediscover how to grow giant plants for fruits, veggies and fabrics
9) build and test an infinite, INSTANT, unlimited bandwidth communication system
10) and much more I won't bore you with!

I will try as many ways I and others can think of to prove it CAN be done and everyone can use it!

As my sister regularly tells me...shut the fk up!

So you can SAY 'you ain't gonna do shit' to me but, historically, you can BANK ON IT HAPPENING....just need the money and invite some talented friends to help me with it...then watch out!!! Work or not work, we shall see. - Full Article Source - Permalink

04/20/13 - Solar Cell That Turns 1 Photon into 2 Electrons
If an incoming photon has too little energy, the cell won’t absorb it. If a photon has too much, the excess is wasted as heat. No matter what, a silicon solar cell can never generate more than one electron from a single photon. Such harsh quantum realities severely limit the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells, and scientists have spent decades looking for work-arounds.

This new solar cell appears to thumb its nose at the 2nd law of thermodynamics. - Full Article Source - Permalink

04/20/13 - When False Flags don't Fly anymore

False flag (or black flag) describes covert military or paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities, groups or nations than those who actually planned and executed them.

Operations carried during peace-time by civilian organisations, as well as covert government agencies, may by extension be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organisation behind an operation.

The name "false flag" has its origins in naval warfare where the use of a flag other than the belligerent's true battle flag as a ruse de guerre, before engaging an enemy, has long been acceptable.

Such operations are also acceptable in certain circumstances in land warfare, to deceive enemies in similar ways providing that the deception is not perfidious and all such deceptions are discarded before opening fire upon the enemy.

This practice is considered acceptable in naval warfare, provided the false flag is lowered and the national flag raised before engaging in battle.[1] Auxiliary cruisers operated in such a fashion in both World Wars, as did Q-ships, while merchant vessels were encouraged to use false flags for protection. The 1914 Battle of Trindade was between the auxiliary cruisers RMS Carmania and SMS Cap Trafalgar, in which the SMS Cap Trafalgar had been altered to look like the RMS Carmania.

One of the most notable examples was in World War II when the German commerce raider Kormoran, disguised as a Dutch merchant ship, surprised and sank the Australian light cruiser HMAS Sydney in 1941, causing the greatest recorded loss of life on an Australian warship. The Kormoran was also fatally crippled in that encounter and its crew was captured, but it was a considerable psychological victory for the Germans.[2]

The British used a Kriegsmarine ensign in the St Nazaire Raid and captured a German code book. The old destroyer Campbeltown, which the British planned to sacrifice in the operation, was provided with cosmetic modifications, cutting the ship's funnels and chamfering the edges to resemble a German Möwe-class destroyer. The British were able to get within two miles (3 km) of the harbour before the defences responded, where the explosive-rigged Campbeltown and commandos successfully disabled or destroyed the key dock structures of the port.[3][4] - Full Article Source - Permalink
