Ok – believe it or not, this really shows how the new younger generation of police are anti-society and just insanely pro-government beyond common sense. With cities and municipalities dead broke, confiscating cash from people pretending it is somehow tainted without any proof under Civil Asset Forfeiture was bad enough. Now they are really going over the top. This is not an isolated incident. Towns in the North East are targeting teenagers who traditionally made money during winter shoveling snow. The police even in Philadelphia are targeting kids as they are in New Jersey. Many towns demand a license with … Continue reading →

Ross Caputi, a former marine who participated in the US’s second siege of Fallujah, writes that the reason the American Sniper book and film have been so successful is that they “tell us exactly what we want to hear”: that US America is “benevolent” and “righteous”.  That, he says, is why the book and film are so popular; their popularity speaks volumes about US society, and signals more danger ahead for the rest of the world. The killings for which Chris Kyle is idolized, Caputi notes, were perpetrated during his participation in the second US siege of Fallujah, which Caputi, from firsthand knowledge, calls an “atrocity”. … Continue reading →

Winter can be a chilling experience. Colder temperatures, gusty winds and snow – and bundling up to take it on – are all what can be expected in a typical North American winter. Even Florida can get frosty! No wonder so many of us like to head south for a beach vacation. No matter where you live though, another common aspect of winter is catching a cold. It would seem as temperatures continue to drop, the odds of you getting sick increase. Worse yet, even though you try your best to not catch a cold, all those around you have … Continue reading →

Too many people succumb to the mistaken belief that being likeable comes from natural, unteachable traits that belong only to a lucky few—the good looking, the fiercely social, and the incredibly talented. It’s easy to fall prey to this misconception. In reality, being likeable is under your control, and it’s a matter of emotional intelligence (EQ). In a study conducted at UCLA, subjects rated over 500 adjectives based on their perceived significance to likeability. The top-rated adjectives had nothing to do with being gregarious, intelligent, or attractive (innate characteristics). Instead, the top adjectives were sincerity, transparency, and capacity for understanding … Continue reading →

Just fill the ball with warm humid indoor air, then when it temperature-equalizes with the 25°F cooler outdoor air on your AFC Championship playing field some of the water vapor in the ball will condense into water, leaving less air in the ball, solving the great mystery: how did the footballs used by the Championship winning New England Patriots show 12.5 psi of inflation pressure in the official pre-game check but only 10.5 psi when checked at halftime? There is also a decrease in pressure due to the cooling of the molecules that remain gaseous. Those air molecules are not zipping … Continue reading →

Yersinia pestis. Who would think that such a microscopic organism in the gut of an infected flea could create an upheaval in human society? The most terrible pestilence humanity has witnessed, the Black Death of the 1340s killed an estimated 75–200 million people. To many, it seemed that the end of the world had come. In a sense, they were right. The “Great Mortality” ended one world and ushered in a new, better one. Despite the horrors of bubonic plague, Europe showed remarkable resilience in its survival. The Black Death, tragic though it was, may have made the world a … Continue reading →

From previous disasters, we find clarification and better ways to prepare. Urban disasters happen all the time leaving many stranded in the city. Consider for a moment what you would do if you found yourself in the midst of an emergency where you couldn’t get home using your vehicle. For example, after the terror attacks in New York, the country’s transportation system was shut down – including city transportation systems. Due to the destruction of this event, many commuters were left with no other option but to walk home. Another example occurred in Tokyo after a number of sizable earthquake tremors occurred, … Continue reading →

It has not been a smooth month for those who want to keep Iran in pariahdom forever and thus seek to kill any international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program. The sanctions bill that is the deal-killers’ principal vehicle at the moment and is in the Senate Banking Committee has not been attracting the hoped-for Democratic co-sponsors. The strong position taken on the issue by President Barack Obama obviously is a major reason for this. And however unlikely this may seem with almost anything that happens these days in Congress, reason and good sense have probably had some effect — among … Continue reading →

Falling Prices are “Really Bad” for You It is quite comical how the idea that falling prices are somehow bad for society is continually pushed by the establishment and its mouthpieces. We imagine it is not easy to create propaganda in support of such an obvious absurdity. No doubt every consumer in the world would love nothing more than genuine price deflation. After all, what can possibly be bad about one’s income and savings stretching further and buying more, rather than fewer goods and services? Consumers and savers all over the world must surely be scratching their heads by now … Continue reading →

Could your toothpaste be harming your health? That’s the very real concern of a growing group of dentists who believe that far from being an essential part of our daily regimes, many commercial toothpastes contain substances detrimental to our health. These chemicals have been linked to possible oral and breast cancers, neural and cardiac ailments, as well as mouth irritations, gum damage and environmental pollution. Dr Toby Talbot is an expert in restorative dentistry and a member of the Royal College Of Surgeons. After more than 35 years in the profession, he believes the products we find on supermarket shelves … Continue reading →

A recent attempted home invasion robbery in Jacksonville, Florida, left one suspect with more than a dozen gunshot wounds after he pointed a gun at a man and the man’s wife reacted by unloading not one, but two guns at the suspect. According to local media, it was right around noon Jan. 14, when the residents, George and Jessica Porter, heard a knock at the door. The man at the door asked George if a certain individual was at the home, to which George replied that the individual did not live there. George then went to close the door, but … Continue reading →

Do you eat right, exercise often, and don’t smoke or drink excessively? Many factors are considered when determining how long you will live – your habits, your family health history and genetic makeup, for example. The life expectancy for Americans is on the rise, and I’m convinced that healthy lifestyle choices can help you live right up to 100 or even older! Buy what if I told you there was a test that you didn’t need to go see your doctor to perform that could reveal how long you will live? Skeptical? New research published in the European Journal of … Continue reading →

Having spent much of my adult life studying the Victorian age, I have often been puzzled by the clichés and stereotypes of the Victorians that are so often repeated, not only in journalism but even in serious history books. We are asked to believe that they were all amazingly puritanical, hung up on sex, so afraid of the erotic that they covered up chair legs with upholstery in case the word “leg” led their thoughts astray. A recent book by social historian Dr Julie-Marie Strange has surveyed over 250 memoirs and innumerable other bits of evidence to shed light on … Continue reading →

Many people have a reaction to a certain food and assume they are allergic to it, in most cases they are not, they have a food intolerance. It might sound like a one-word change is not overly important if a food makes a person sick, it makes them sick and that’s that. In reality, there is a massive distinction between the two in both the effects the conditions have on the body and the treatment required. Food Intolerance If you suffer from a food intolerance the symptoms appear some time after you have ingested the offending food, not right after eating. … Continue reading →
