Mark Shrime, a Harvard scientist pursuing a PhD in health policy wanted to see just how easy it is to get medical research published in various medical journals. Every day he says he receives at least one request from an open-access medical journal asking to publish his research.

The catch? They only need $500 to publish it.

So Shrime decided to see how easy it would be to public a bogus article. So he made one up using www.randomtextgenerator.com. He titled the article “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?” and wrote that the authors were Pinkerton A. LeBrain and Orson Welles. The articles subtitle was “The surgical and neoplastic role of cacao extract in breakfast cereals.”

Shrime submitted his bogus article to some 37 journals, and two weeks later, 17 journals had accepted it...

A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“ has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible.

Beyond time and space

Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species.

The pineal gland, which is a small gland located near the center of your brain, is considered by some to be the gateway to higher levels of consciousness. Anatomically, it functions as the producer of melatonin, and some scientists believe that it also releases Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, during periods of great stress.

Some believe that as we get older, our pineal gland begins to calcify. To be clear, there have been no studies conducted on this matter, so there is no scientific consensus on the matter. But there are ways to prevent calcification apparently.

Cut out the fluoride.

Fluoride is in a bunch of common things, like tap water and toothpaste. To avoid this, purchase fluoride-free toothpaste and properly filter your tap water before drinking it. Do not buy bottled water...

1. They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves

What’s the point in feeling sorry for yourself anyway? Mentally strong people recognize the mistakes they’ve made, and instead of dwelling upon them, they grow from them.

2. They Don’t Give Away Their Power

The mentally strong don’t allow other people to control them. They’re in charge of their own lives and their own futures, not anyone else.

3. They Don’t Shy Away from Change

When it comes to change, mentally strong people don’t run away from it,  but rather take it head on.

4. They Don’t Waste Energy on Things They Can’t Control

You’re certainly not going to hear a mentally strong people griping over things outside of their control, like crummy people at work or delays at the airport...

Native American activists along with the Oglala Lakota have made a vow to die before they allow the Keystone XL Pipeline through their land, saying they’ll either be dead or in prison before it does.

The Oglala Lakota Nation is scrambling to organize a protest movement to oppose the construction of the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline. The pipeline would be 1,700 miles long and move an incredible 830,000 barrels of crude oil every day from Canada through their land in South Dakota on toward the Texas coast. Pipelines like this one have a long history of terrible leaks and explosions.

The current path for the pipeline has it crossing at two points with a pipeline that is the main water source for the people of Oglala Lakota Pine Ridge Reservation as well as Sicangu Rosebud reservation. A spill would place in jeopardy the safety of their drinking water.
