An alien from AliensMaybe something like this? A Klingon from Star Trek has a basic humanoid shape

More like the one on the right: If the theory by astrophysicist Ralph Pudritz is correct, we are more likely to run into a Klingon from Star Trek (right) than an alien from Aliens (almost certainly a good thing)

To anyone who has seen the film 'Prometheus', it will be a very familiar story. Humans and aliens may share the same DNA which could be part of a 'universal structure', according to researchers.

Palm trees are planted. Bridges are illuminated with colored lights. Streets are smoothed over. New cell towers have been erected.
 

Like a giddy debutante, the city of Tampa is spruced up in anticipation of what Mayor Bob Buckhorn calls his city’s “coming-out party” as the Republican National Convention begins next week. But while the city is putting on its party clothes, it’s also preparing for a disaster.

Earlier this month, the president nominated Navy Rear Admiral James D. Syring to the position of Vice Admiral – assigned as Director for the Missile Defense Agency.

Amid the calamity of political attack ads and pundits taking pot-shots throughout the media, this news has virtually escaped the public eye. The reason why the news is significant isn’t because of the appointment itself, but because of who the appointment replaces.

The nomination was necessary in order to replace Lt. General Patrick O’Reilly who is under investigation by the Inspector General’s office of the DoD, for allegedly “verbally harassing” his subordinates.

According to a July Wired report, Lt. Gen. Patrick O’Reilly had a habit of using a “hailstorm of expletives” with his staff on a consistent basis, to the point where staff members would avoid telling O’Reilly the truth for fear of another verbal attack. (2)

(NaturalNews) It's in your cookware, your clothing, furniture, carpets, popcorn bags and even in your food! It's perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and it remains indefinitely in the environment and even gets stuck in your body. PFOA is a toxicant and known carcinogen that has been detected in the blood of more than 98% of the US population. Exposure to this chemical has been associated with increased cholesterol, uric acid levels, preeclampsia, heart disease, liver damage, thyroid trouble, neurological disorders, chronic kidney disease and kidney cancer.


High levels of exposure to the Teflon (a DuPont registered trademark) chemical PFOA causes the risk of testicular cancer to skyrocket by 170 percent.

A week ago, we reported that a former "employee" at Scientology's flagship drug treatment center in Oklahoma -- Narconon Arrowhead -- told us that the controversial center was delivering Scientology training rather than drug education, and that its officials have been concerned for years that its state certification was "extremely vulnerable." (The center is currently under investigation by local and state agencies for four deaths that have occurred there, three since last October.)

We didn't name that source, but now, he's come forward on his own.

  • Emotiv brain-computer interface

  • With a chilling hint of the not-so-distant future, researchers at the Usenix Security conference have demonstrated a zero-day vulnerability in your brain. Using a commercial off-the-shelf brain-computer interface, the researchers have shown that it’s possible to hack your brain, forcing you to reveal information that you’d rather keep secret.

    As we’ve covered in the past, a brain-computer interface is a two-part device: There’s the hardware — which is usually a headset (an EEG; an electroencephalograph) with sensors that rest on your scalp — and software, which processes your brain activity and tries to work out what you’re trying to do (turn left, double click, open box, etc.) BCIs are generally used in a medical setting with very expensive equipment, but in the last few years cheaper, commercial offerings have emerged. For $200-300, you can buy an Emotiv (pictured above) or Neurosky BCI, go through a short training process, and begin mind controlling your computer.
