ReadyNutrition Guys and Gals, we’re going to cover some basic fundamentals to help you forecast an event before it materializes. You don’t need to be either a prophet or an actuarial scientist to drastically improve your probability of gauging an event before it occurs.  Sound techniques of daily research coupled with keeping an open eye are keys; keeping an open mind is another, and it is possibly the most important of them all. False Flag Events So, what is a false flag event? This term is largely used to describe covert operations that are designed to deceive the public in such a way that … Continue reading →

A magician must make a trick look effortless, but it’s very unlikely that anything is casual or spontaneous in a magic show. Just as you might go to a ballet and imagine the sweat and tears needed to achieve amazing dance moves, magic is choreographed but mustn’t look like it is. Artists of all kinds, including magicians, are connoisseurs of human behaviour and perception and now neuroscientists have revealed just how their tricks mess with our brains. Neuroscientists Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen L Macknik, from State University of New York Downstate Medical Centre, explain techniques used by magicians in How … Continue reading →

The Great Recession Blog. In the fall of 2015, the world descended into an economic apocalypse that will transform the globe into a single cashless society. This bold prediction is based on trends in nations all over the earth as shown in the article below. As we enter 2016, we are only beginning to see this Epocalypse form through the fog of war. The war I’m talking about is the world war waged furiously by central banks against the Great Recession as the governments they supposedly serve fiddled while their capital burned. The governments and banks of this world advanced rapidly toward forming cashless societies throughout 2015. The citizens of some … Continue reading →

February’s upcoming Academy Awards show has been mired in controversy due to claims that the list of nominees in top categories has been “white washed,” reflecting insidious racial bias in Hollywood. Much of the outrage has emanated from black members of the film world, and discussion has revolved around a perceived lack of black nominees. A new infographic from The Economist shows that it’s actually Asians and Hispanics, not blacks, who should be annoyed with the Academy. Currently, blacks are about 13 percent of the U.S. population. As The Economist’s chart shows, blacks have received just slightly fewer top roles and Oscar nominations … Continue reading →

The downturn in the US stock market is a problem made in America by the Federal Reserve, argued Peter Schiff on the Daily Ledger. The only question now is when will the Fed restart quantitative easing to ensure the Democrats and Hillary Clinton don’t face the same problem Republicans encountered at the end of Bush’s presidency – a lost election thanks to a crumbling economy. Peter thinks they might wait until the US is “officially” in a recession, which could be as long as 7 months from now. Highlights from the interview: “I think not only are we in a … Continue reading →

On December 30, 2015, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry announced the discovery of four new chemical elements—numbers 113, 115, 117, and 118—the first new elements added to the periodic table since 2011. For the time being, they have the fairly clunky Latin and Greek numerical names ununtium (Uut), ununpentium (Uup), ununseptium(Uus), and ununoctium (Uuo), but, by IUPAC rules, their discoveries now get the chance to officially name them. Online, there’s growing support to name one of these new “heavy metal” elements lemmium in honor of Motörhead frontman Lemmy (who died two days before they were announced), and another … Continue reading →

The apocalypse may be a popular subject of sci-fi films, but there are some very real scientific theories in danger of becoming reality. These include being blown to smithereens as an asteroid smashes into Earth and a highly infectious pandemic that wipes out huge swathes of the global population within days. However, the most probable is the eruption of a supervolcano, according to a feature in How It Works magazine, which details seven of the most devastating scenarios and threats facing mankind. A SUPERVOLCANO BLOWS Supervolcanoes are the leviathans of volcanism. Defined by their ability to blast more than 240 cubic … Continue reading →

In the summer of 2002, a young white woman named Valinda Elliott set out from Phoenix on a business trip with her boss. The two were trying to locate a tiny speck of a town called Young, Ariz., population 666 (talk about a bad omen). They took a wrong turn and became lost in the desert, in a remote location with no cell service. Before long, they ran out of gas. After spending the first night in their vehicle, by the next day, running out of water and rapidly facing dehydration, it was decided that one of them needed to … Continue reading →

With economic turmoil, global climate change, and wars across the globe, riots and protests have become an increasingly big problem for world governments. While some still go with the old-fashioned methods for brutally cracking down on protesters, some governments have turned to technology for more effective ways to corral their own citizens. Some of these weapons are quite terrifying, hardly humane in the least, and could have terrible consequences if we allow them to become a normal part of everyday life. 10 Sonic Weapons Designed For Crowd Control It’s well known that loud noises can cause extreme pain and hearing … Continue reading →

Each approaching blizzard brings warnings about the dangers of shoveling snow, an activity that sends thousands of Americans to emergency rooms each winter. Don’t tackle the walkway if you aren’t in good enough shape, say the experts. You can get hurt or, even worse, trigger a heart attack or stroke. Medically speaking, a person is indeed more likely to keel over while heaving snow than, say, jogging on a treadmill. But why? “Physically, what happens when you get really cold is you have constriction of the blood vessels,” says Lawrence Phillips, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Medical Center. “It decreases … Continue reading →

With two days to go until Burns Night, you’re probably expecting a whisky round-up, but you know what? Been there, done that more times than I care to remember. So let’s talk vodka instead: it’s just as appropriate a drink at this time of year and, given that the market is saturated with new gins, it’s time for a voddy revival. Several British distillers, especially those who are patiently waiting for their whisky to mature, certainly seem to think so. And while vodka doesn’t have the sexy aromatics of gin, it can be flavoured in interesting ways. My current obsession … Continue reading →

More than 60,000 gun fans and exhibitors descended upon Las Vegas for the first major gun show of the year hosted by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. According to the organisers, the attendance this year is slightly down on 2015 due to ‘enhanced pre-screening’. Last year 67,000 people visited the show, compared to an estimated 64,000 this year. Arms companies from around the world are showing their latest offerings to those attending, including a range of machine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, sniper rifles and even revolutionary war-style black powder rifles. The event is being held at the Sands Expo Center … Continue reading →

As a mother to three children under 12, I expect to feel totally exhausted at the end of the day. What I didn’t realise, though, was that a lack of an essential vitamin could be to blame for my paltry physical stamina. A while ago, during a series of blood tests for some imaginary ailment (no doubt tiredness related), my levels of vitamin D – essential for the absorption of calcium – were found to be very low. The doctor didn’t seem to think this was significant but, as my mother, aged 78, has osteoporosis, I thought perhaps I should … Continue reading →

Look, I get it. Your husband wasn’t nominated for a prize. So you are not going to turn up to the prize-giving and are going to have a sulk instead. As a mother of three kids under 12, I understand. Losing out is hard and sometimes stomping off to your bedroom seems like a good alternative. But frankly, Jada Pinkett-Smith, at your age, you should know better. I know you feel like the world is on your side. It seems everyone is outraged there are no black nominees for the Oscars 2016. Others have agreed to boycott the event and … Continue reading →
