Clamorous listing! Apocalypses

È tempo di far crollare il muro di omertà e di disinformazione col quale il potere sta cercando da anni di nascondere e mistificare un fenomeno che ormai solo i pecoroni disinformati o i cani da guardia del regime rifiutano di vedere.



Proprio oggi Ken Johnston, un ex ricercatore della NASA la cui cacciata per le sue posizioni non allineate alla scienza ufficiale è stata fatta passare in silenzio e giustificata con futili motivi, ha annunciato che tra un mese loro arriveranno


Every year there are tens of thousands of sightings at all latitudes: moving lights in the night sky in the second trajectory is not natural, nothing more than Chinese lanterns and balloons. And certainly not the witnesses are people who want to advertise.

There were also close encounters. He speaks earnestly of mysterious creatures, humanoid-looking, dressed in sophisticated suits that protect their bodies and hide their real features, and transportation that allow highly complex operations that are impossible for our poor technology. The descriptions are consistent. These beings are clearly able to manipulate matter, space and time. Sometimes comunicano con chi ha la mente aperta e non ottenebrata dai dogmi scientisti cui questa società moderna ci costringe. Chi ha avuto la fortuna di comunicare con loro si sente depositario di un messaggio di pace e di fratellanza universale.



Certo, c’è anche qualche esagitato che afferma di essere uno di loro. C’è chi si traveste come loro, e questo alimenta l’idea che sia tutto folkore, che non ci sia niente di vero. Ma chi è stato testimone diretto non ha bisogno di dimostrare niente a nessuno. Chi vuole creda, altrimenti peggio per lui. Certi fenomeni sono reali ed è ottuso parlare di suggestione.  Ci sono tantissimi video e materiale fotografico sulla rete. Certo tanti possono essere falsi, but it is not possible that they are all false.

Also - despite what the debunkers say paid to the government - the news of sightings and there are contacts from the mists of time. Several Nordic legends can be explained only by considering the existence of such beings as the key.

The most important thing that the close-minded skeptics should remember is that it is not so many individual testimonies aneddodiche: virtually all coincide. May have made all along?

In a month everyone will know the truth at last.

If you still do not understand what we're talking look a questo comunicato stampa .

Hummer Fits Your Personality

next venture




Il maggiore T. J. "King" Kong cavalca una

bomba atomica nel finale de "Il Dr. Stranamore"

di Stanley Kubrik
Col 2011 ormai alle porte i fuffari del 2012 cominciano a fare retromarcia. I più avveduti hanno già iniziato a posporre l'evento  (vedi la tempesta solare rimandata , o le varie voci sulla profezia Maya rimandata a causa di errori di interpretation on the date, etc..), many will follow, others will be content with the "great spiritual change, so that you can not see and not be touched, but it feels (in fact the smell you can not do anything).

millennial view of the proliferation of absurdities that fill the media, the magazine "Le Scienze " (Italian edition of "Scientific American ") has dedicated the November issue of the "end of science." It is a number of easy to read, full of interesting ideas, I would advise everyone to buy (including the attached book "The End everything from individuals to the entire universe ", by Chris Impey).

A particularly provocative article titled "Predictions for the apocalypse."
Since lists and charts are all the rage, the authors (J. Matson & J. pavlus) have made a estimate that, without scientific pretense but according to the informed opinions of various researchers, the likelihood and the catastrophic potential of some threats that are mentioned frequently. That potential is formulated according to a qualitative rather than quantitative scale, ranging from 1 (localized chaos) to 10 (end of the universe).
I borrowed the points of this revised classification of the contents (which are in a bit 'caption). Here they are ...


Supertempesta solar


Sunburst
taken on 29/09/2008 by the STEREO probes

Odds: 1 to 20 in the next 20 years
Potential destructive grade 2

The Sun is a star, that is a huge nuclear fusion reactor in the explosive action is held in balance by its enormous gravitational pull.

The surface of our star is periodically shaken by huge explosions in space that project a stream of particles charges. These, if thrown in the direction of our planet when they reach the result to the ethereal aurora. Sometimes, when they are particularly intense, interfere with or cause problems for telecommunications satellites in orbit. Very rarely cause damage to power lines on the planet.

In 1859 took place a particularly intense solar storm, so that the polar auroras were seen to the tropics. NASA commissioned a study by the Academy of Sciences ( here) showed that intensity of a phenomenon that could lead to serious trouble for the entire planet. It could knock out energy networks and communications systems worldwide, devastating event for the advanced countries whose societies are characterized by a high degree of electronic connections.

Global Warming uncontrolled


The polar cap in 2007 has reached its lowest level in 30 years
Odds: 1 / 2 in the next 200 years
Potential destructive Grade 3

has been calculated that if the ice sheets of Greenland and West Antarctica were to melt completely, sea levels could rise by about 12 meters, erasing the coastal cities and forcing hundreds of millions of refugees to move elsewhere.

decrease the area cultivated, would advance the desertification, the extremes of the weather, would be heavily altered sea currents and weather, would be devastated the most important ecosystems.

Among all, is perhaps the most likely disaster. It is up to us.

pandemic killer


1411 Presentation of the Black Death
Odds: 1 / 2 in the next 30 years
potential destructive Grade 4

The Black Death , between 1347 and 1352, carries off between a quarter and a third of its population. At that time transport was the fastest sailing boats or wagons pulled by horses, and the vast majority of the population did not move except at the nearest villages.

In a globalized world, where the displacements are massive and in a day you can safely reach the other end of mondo, le possibilità di diffusione di un nuovo virus o di un adattamento più letale di un virus già noto sono enormi. Secondo molti esperti l'umanità non è preparata ad affrontare una simile evenienza, che potrebbe essere catastrofica.



Anche in questo caso gli uomini potrebbero metterci lo zampino. La possibilità che un virus letale prodotto artificialmente a scopo bellico o di ricerca sfugga al nostro controllo è sempre dietro l'angolo.



Supervulcano






Caldera del supervulcano dello Yellowstone
Probabilità: 1/100 the next 1000 years
potential destructive grade 5

I Supervolcanoes are capable of erupting volcanoes at least 1000 cubic kilometers of ash and lava. Do not have a structure recognizable as that of the mountain Vesuvius or Etna. It is widespread in lowland areas which can build up a huge magma chamber, where the explosion - as well as destroy everything at the local level to large distances - profoundly alter the climate of the planet for decades.

is very likely that one of these monsters hiding under the Yellowstone Park in the USA. This is an area of \u200b\u200babout 60 km in diameter (72 km per 55 km). È un cosiddetto punto caldo , una zona della superficie terrestre caratterizzata da un'anomala risalita del mantello verso la crosta e che presenta attività vulcanica da lunghissimo tempo.



Eruzioni catastrofiche come potrebbe essere quella dello Yellowstone sono avvenute nel passato. L'ultima in ordine di tempo è avvenuta circa 74.000 anni fa a Toba , in Indonesia e portò il genere umano sull'orlo dell'estinzione.



La zona dei Campi Flegrei, nel Napoletano, è considerata un piccolo supervulcano . L'ultima eruzione risalirebbe a 39.000 anni fa.



Guerra nucleare




nuclear explosion
Odds: 1 / 30 in the next 10 years
potential destructive grade 6

The nuclear arsenals of the superpowers have been reduced but not eliminated. An accident or a cyberattack could still trigger a nuclear exchange between the United States, Russia or China? Such an event would cause the destruction of all large cities, the deaths of hundreds and hundreds of millions of people, a nuclear winter that decimated the remaining population. The fall-out would make large regions of the planet uninhabitable for years and years.

am scenari che tanti film e libri ci hanno reso drammaticamente familiari (l'illustrazione di apertura di questo articolo è tratta da " Il dottor Stranamore, ovvero: come imparai a non preoccuparmi e ad amare la bomba ", uno dei capolavori di Stanley Kubrik del 1964) resi forse meno probabili dalla situazione politica attuale.



Un'eventualità più verosimile è un attacco terroristico su un'area urbana con l'impiego di testate più piccole; alcuni esperti stimano questa probabilità superiore al 50 per cento nei prossimi 15 anni.



Lampo di raggi gamma






Rappresentazione artistica di un lampo gamma
Probabilità: 1/15 in 100 milioni di anni

Potenziale distruttivo: grado 7



I lampi gamma ( gamma ray burst ) sono tra i fenomeni più energetici noti nell'universo.

Sono fenomeni rari a livello galattico ma relativamente frequenti nell'universo. Se ne registra più o meno uno al giorno e provengono da direzioni casuali del tutto imprevedibili e da distanze enormi.



I fenomeni noti che possono dare origine a queste esplosioni sono i più estremi: le supernove, i collassi stellari che generano i buchi neri, la fusione di due stelle di neutroni.



In questi eventi possono essere emessi stretti fasci di raggi gamma estremamente intensi; dei veri e propri "fucili a pallettoni" cosmici che concentrano in pochi secondi (la loro durata va da alcuni millisecondi ad alcuni minuti) l'energia che una stella come il Sole può rilasciare in 10 miliardi di anni. Sono visibili solo dai satelliti perché, data la distanza, la radiazione gamma arriva così dispersa da essere completamente bloccata dall'atmosfera terrestre.



Finora non è mai stato osservato un lampo gamma prodotto nella nostra galassia e questa è una fortuna: se un fucile così vicino fosse puntato verso la Terra, il lampo potrebbe distruggere lo strato di ozono che ci protegge more intense ultraviolet and target the planet's surface radiation. Some researchers believe that one of these explosions could have contributed to the mass extinction of the 'Ordovician , which occurred 440 million years ago (here ).

There are several stars from the Sun distantissime not candidates for supernovae explode astronomically in the near future, but fortunately it seems that in no case the gamma-ray burst is directed toward us.

impact of a giant asteroid


The asteroid Ida (53 km long) and its moon Dactyl
(over 1 km in diameter)
Odds: 1 in a million over the next 100 years
potential destructive Grade 8

Even This was amply represented by Hollywood and looted (Meteor, Armageddon, Deep Impact).

scenario of some celestial body on a collision course toward Earth as prophesied by some mysterious ancient civilizations of the knowledge is also one of the applicants in the imagination of disaster (Nibiru, Apophis, and who knows what else).

other hand, even the children ormai sanno che una delle ipotesi più accreditate per l'estinzione dei dinosauri, 65 milioni di anni fa, alla fine del Cretaceo , è quello dell'impatto asteroidale. Asteroidi grandi e piccoli e comete hanno colpito la Terra in passato, lo fanno attualmente - le stelle cadenti o bolidi che possiamo vedere ogni notte non sono altro che piccoli asteroidi - e continueranno a farlo nel futuro.



Le probabilità che un corpo di dimensione dell'ordine di una decina di chilometri possa colpire la Terra causando estinzioni di massa paragonabili a quella del fine del Cretaceo sono dunque basse.



Tuttavia, anche un asteroide più piccolo potrebbe avere effetti catastrofici. Un oggetto diameter of 3 kilometers (event with probability about one in 200,000 in this century) could kill a quarter of the world's population and delete temporary civilization.

The Sun becomes a red giant


The Sun becomes a red giant and engulfs the Earth
Odds: 100% in 5 billion years
Potential destructive grade 9

If models stellar evolution are correct, this case is not a possibility but a certainty.

The Sun radiates energy into space (in the form of light and heat) through a process of nuclear fusion by 4.5 billion years is turning the hydrogen into helium in its core. The energy produced in the nucleus counteracts the force of gravity, which tends to collapse the Sun These two forces are in balance and will remain so for another 5 billion years, when the hydrogen in the core of the sun will end. At that point, gravity will take over and the sun will collapse. Its core - which according to the models currently accredited should have a diameter of 300,000 km - is reduce more or less the size of Earth.

At these pressures and temperatures in the outer part of the nucleus will activate the process of fusion of helium into carbon, and areas immediately outside a layer of hydrogen begins to fuse into helium. The energy will be produced in large numbers and much closer to the Sun's surface, which then begin to expand. His range may increase among the one hundred and two hundred times. Almost 700,000 km from the present will probably incorporate the orbits of Mercury and Venus (which rotates around the sun at 108 million km) and perhaps even that of the Earth (150 million km).

Even if the Earth was not swallowed now his fate would be marked: the first will be burnt by the solar furnace, very close, and because of the increased emission of matter from the Sun, its orbit would decay, however, making the atmosphere hot sinking of the red giant.

bubble nucleation


Odds: one in a billion billion in the next 1000 years
potential destructive Grade 10

According to the cosmological theories most credited the entire universe originated 13.7 billion years ago from a singularity, a condition of infinite density and temperature in a region of infinitesimal size that would be expanded, giving rise to the fabric of space and time with all that it contains, which, according to observational data we have today, it is still growing.

is the famous Big Bang theory, which although not fully proven and universally accepted, is that at best explains all the universe as we see it, as seems to have evolved, allowing also to make predictions about phenomena that place there, many of which have been verified (others not). According to Professor

. Alexander Vilenkin, a cosmologist at Tufts University will continue the expansion of the universe forever. Moreover, the infinitesimal size it was in the universe at the Big Bang, quantum phenomena come into play. According Vilenkin our universe may have arisen spontaneously from nothing, after some fluctuation of the quantum vacuum.

The quantum fluctuations of vacuum could lead to the spontaneous creation of tiny universes from nothing. The vast majority of them are annihilated immediately, immediately collapsing into nothingness. Some of these "bubbles" but could reach a critical size, and expand, giving rise to new inflationary universes, perhaps with stars, galaxies and thinking beings.

Assuming that it went really well, what would happen if another emerge spontaneously in our universe?

would like a smaller bubble that expands rapidly into a bubble bigger, bringing with it new laws of nature, fundamental forces and constants different.

As the bubble "is expanding at nearly the speed of light" encompasses "the space around it, including what remains of the solar system." Our universe is experiencing a transition to the new state, where all the laws that have made possible galaxies, stars, planets and life itself as we see them stop di valere. In nostro stesso universo potrebbe essere una bolla che si è espansa dentro un'altra. Non solo, ma nuovo universo potrebbe essere nato in questo istante dentro il nosto, e noi non lo sapremmo fino a che la bolla non ci avesse raggiunto. Potrebbero anche esistere altrove (ammesso e non concesso che questo avverbio abbia senso parlando di leggi di natura diverse) altri universi, nati da altre bolle.



È un'ipotesi che possiamo mettere in fondo alla lista delle preoccupazioni? Secondo Vilenkin, l'ideatore di questa affascinante teoria,  sì. È convinto che la nucleazione della bolla non si verificherà nei prossimi 1000 miliardi di anni ed è disposto a scommettere su questo «un sacco di soldi». Potremmo fare una colletta e accettare la scommessa. Tra 1000 miliardi di anni, se non sarà successo nulla, gli pagheremo il dovuto.

Probation Support Letter

Battle Bugs

Battle Bugs is a unique video game developed by Epyx legendary, especially a historic software house renowned for its excellent sports games published since the second half of the '80s, in particular among the most famous is worth quoting: Summer Games II , California Games and Games: The Summer Edition . Unlike previous productions, Battle Bugs, presents itself as an innovative strategy title that sees us play as the master of a friendly army of ants, but not all. The gameplay consists of a long series of battles that we systematically contrast to other colonies of insects. The action develops in real time, but we still have the option to enable a useful pause function so as to better plan our strategic decisions. Each mission has a goal variable which typically range from eradicating the presence of insect enemies need to claim ownership of all the food scattered for the scenario. Often, we will be in the minority, not so much in terms of units used, but rather as offensive capability, so we'll have to define a valid sequence counter. Battle Bugs enables us to handle up to twenty-two different bugs, including: cockroaches, fleas, grasshoppers, spiders, mantises, bees, flies and wasps. Each insect is identified by a number of characteristics that describe the various skills, first of all: the ability to attack and resistance to shock opponents. Moreover, in addition to move in different ways, such as walking, flying or swimming, can also throw bombs and stones.


Le battaglie si svolgono in scenari prettamente domestici che spaziano dalle superfici della cucina al giardino di casa, inoltre, per il raggiungimento dei summenzionati obiettivi sfrutteremo anche le caratteristiche di ciascun ambiente, come ad esempio: le aree sopraelevate ed anche eventuali ostacoli che possano rallentare l'avanzata nemica. Gli scontri sono sicuramente impegnativi, almeno da un punto di vista prettamente logico, ciascuna missione, infatti, deve essere affrontata tenendo conto delle peculiarità, e quindi anche delle limitazioni, di ciascun insetto. Il gioco contempla una campagna a singolo giocatore da ben cinquantasei missioni complessive e prevede anche una modalità multi-player basata su un sistema "hot-sit", in pratica i partecipanti contrappongono vicendevolmente le proprie mosse in un modo analogo a quello degli scacchi. Tecnicamente, Battle Bugs, era piuttosto all'avanguardia per l'epoca dell'uscita, la grafica sfoggiava un simpatico stile "cartoon" pulito e piuttosto definito, soprattutto per via del supporto per lo standard Super VGA, 640x480, anzi, da questo punto di vista, era senza alcun dubbio un tantino anacronistico per i tempi poiché permetteva di sfruttare addirittura una sbalorditiva 800x600! Le varie animazioni che accompagnavano l'azione erano adeguate, il comparto sonoro poneva in essere una serie di simpatiche musichette e degli effetti sonori per lo più efficaci, senza scordare, then, the presence of "briefing" championships. In conclusion, evidence of the goodness of his ideas, points out that Mancari of great feedback from critics of the time, makes an excellent strategic logic and irony that makes their battle horses.

How Long Can Someone With Liver Failure Live

Kaisoku Tenshi (aka The Rapid Angel)

"Kaisoku Tenshi" the Japanese "Techno Soleil" is a video game darkest of the first Playstation not that " Gaia Seed", the former title of the same software house, but enjoyed a higher profile to tell the truth. At first glance, "The Rapid Angel," as translated from the language of "Rising Sun" seems to want to recount the pomp of the two-dimensional platform so dear to the "antiquated" systems 8 / 16 bit, not really just comes down to this because also embraces several other ideas within the genre of fighting games. During the course of the game, in fact, we do not only to accommodate the sliding of the background, jumping from platform to platform, but on the contrary, we fight against all the many opponents who dare to block them systematically in the street. The gameplay essentially allows us to make a series of measures to free us to complete each stage, in particular, in addition to making leaps (whether normal or larger with an additional push of the button), run and interact with some details of the scenario, we can also attack enemies and defend ourselves with a parade, not to mention even the possibility of evoking a kind of spell is very similar to the most classic of "smart bomb". To replenish the energy lost during the game, we will be obliged to collect all the food scattered around the levels, except that we also collect all the bonuses that come across long the road, whether precious or base money. The normal flow levels, more often, it will be interrupted by the appearance of certain characters, when the real boss, who must be defeated with different strategies, but not before he tried slightest adversarial system using a simple speech. To make life more difficult it will be, then, the inexorable time runs out. The plot also will be revealed by a series of intervals of purely ironic.


The most interesting feature of "Tenshi Kaisoku" is above all to face the game with different characters, three girls at least initially, others will become available once the mission, and depending on how we responded to the above dialogues. However, each character has a different fighting technique that impacts heavily on the nature of the action. Natsumi, for example, only resorting to fighting hand to hand through a series of combos focus on the punches and kicks, he is also able to perform a special move, a kind of football to lead, while intent is to fall to the ground after a strong jump. Ayane, in some ways, however, adopts a similar style using his sword, so Natsumi as during a jump, it can take the wheel of an attack similar to a pirouette. Haruna, unlike previous girlfriends, is capable of striking from a distance using the launch of its extremely precise "shuriken", may also unleash a special attack, a kind of projectile energy, but is also able to perform several other moves. However, such circumstances, the choice of a girl over the other, not only will change the strategy of combat, and to a lesser extent also the type of defense, but, in a sense, the level of difficulty of the game itself, because most fighting will be close higher the probability of suffering injury, not, however, that the general difficulty to reach the summits so overwhelming to be honest. The characters 'secrets' there will also be able to explore internships never visited before, as well as go back over other previously already discussed. Kaisoku Tenshi, contemplates, then, even a bizarre two-player cooperative mode in which the second participant is limited to assisting the action of the main character. In practice, a friend of ours, you control a cute little angel is consistent with the amount of a special energy bar, will put in place several measures to simplify our game, including: launch energy projectiles, deploy a defensive shield and may even turn into an enchanted sword.


The graphics are certainly not a miracle, although it will still be sufficiently detailed, colorful and well animated. More than anything, the problem seems to have something to do with the graphic style used, this fact does not differ that much from the aesthetic of the early 90s, especially not remember little more than a production appeared on the legendary PC- Engine, the little console from NEC. The technical sector certainly does not leave much to be desired, all of Sony's 32-bit hardware were properly used, ad esempio: non solo lo scrolling è fluido e fa un buon uso della parallasse ma, durante il corso dell'azione, assistiamo anche a tutta una serie di effetti come: la messa in scala della scena, le trasparenze della "smart bomb" e le rotazioni degli sprite. Non mancano, poi, dei piccoli tocchi di classe come le differenti immagini impiegate per rappresentare i singoli "shuriken" lanciati contro i nemici e le tavole dei ponti che si piegano al passaggio del nostro personaggio. Il comparto audio si difende bene, offre delle musiche sicuramente orecchiabili e degli effetti sonori/dialoghi quanto meno efficaci. Infine, aggiungo solamente che in più di una situazione si nota una pur vaga somiglianza con i titoli della serie Valis , almeno those with the most successful. Moreover, although certainly not one of the most captivating two-dimensional platform available for the PSX, it's still a nice title and witty, capable, among other things, to offer a lot of fun.
