CBS News: The Bloom Box
In the world of energy, the Holy Grail is a power source that's inexpensive and clean, with no emissions. Well over 100 start-ups in Silicon Valley are working on it, and one of them, Bloom Energy, is about to make public its invention: a little power plant-in-a-box they want to put literally in your backyard.
Miguel Rix: El Nuevo Orden Mundial y Tú - El Proyecto Matriz
Cada vez que camino por la matriz, veo gentes que se mueven de forma frenética. Muchas de estas personas no saben, bien porque no quieren saberlo, bien porque nadie se lo ha contado, que la humanidad por completo está siendo sometida, manipulada y organizada, según los intereses de una minoría supra nacional. Una élite que, más allá del parlamento, de la cámara del congreso, de la organización de naciones unidas, conduce al homo sapiens hacia un sistema de gobierno ya diseñado desde mucho tiempo atrás.
CICLOPE
http://ciclope.fi.upm.es/
Muchas universidades, como la UPM, tienen asignaturas similares en diferentes centros, con laboratorios del mismo tipo. Esto supone una gran infrautilización de los recursos públicos. La idea de Ciclope es la creación de laboratorios que se puedan compartir y aprovechar los 365 días del año, las 24 horas del día.
Así una escuela que haga el esfuerzo económico de construir un cierto laboratorio, podría ofrecerlo o alquilarlo a otras escuelas o a otras universidades. Teniendo laboratorios accesibles vía Internet, no se necesita personal para atender a los alumnos en las horas de práctica.
Ésta es la filosofía original del proyecto Ciclope desde su nacimiento en 2001. Se ha diseñado un software común para todos ellos, siendo cada vez más los laboratorios docentes creados y puestos en marcha para la realización de prácticas a distancia. Otras líneas de trabajo son la creación de herramientas útiles para cualquiera de los laboratorios y el desarrollo de contenidos sobre diversas materias científicas.
El estudiante tan sólo necesita un computador con acceso a Internet y un navegador. Esto permite que los usuarios habituales del laboratorio lo encuentren más cómodo y accesible y que nuevos usuarios tengan la posibilidad de entrar en contacto con él. Ciclope pretende dar una solución a las restricciones de tiempo y espacio para la realización de prácticas que hay en la actualidad.
CICLOPE actualmente está instalado en la Facultad de Informática de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid y en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de la Universidad Nacional a Distancia.
En concreto se han usado estas dos:

¿Qué es Ciclope?Las escuelas y universidades técnicas nunca cuentan con los recursos suficientes para la realización de prácticas. La queja habitual de los estudiantes es que hay mucha teoría y poca práctica. Un problema habitual es que las instalaciones no se utilizan durante todo el año ya que tiene que haber personal docente presente, y no se cuenta con él. Así en ocasiones sólo se aprovecha el laboratorio unos pocos días al año.

GAP Power: Magnetic Amplification & Neutralization
· A new but simple answer to conserving energy.
http://www.gap-power.com/
http://www.gap-power.com/
Magnetic Amplification and Neutralization can be used in many applications. A motor[below] just seemed the most logical for demonstration purposes.
Basically what's happening in the photo [above] is this: With no current applied to the coil, the magnetism from the permanent magnet travels through the core of the coil, making the core part of the permanent magnet. When electricity is applied to the coil, (+ -), it greatly amplifies the magnetism over and above what would normally be the combined force of the electro-magnet and the permanent magnet. It's actually 2.9 times the power of the permanent magnet. When the polarity is switched, (- +), the magnetism at the face end of the coil is gone. Simply stopped. At 18 volts, 95.31 percent of the power produced by the [below] motor is generated by the permanent magnet. The electro-magnet is just simply acting as a switch, which at the appropriate time, is turning on and off the magnetism from the permanent magnet.

Microchip Found in Napoleon Bonaparte's Inner Skull
[Alien intervention? On N. Bonaparte?? The implications of this -if true- are fathomless...]

http://weeklyworldnews.com/alien-alert/15207/alien-chip-in-napoleons-skull/
Scientists examining the remains of Napoleon Bonaparte admit they are “deeply puzzled” by the discovery of a half-inch long microchip embedded in his skull.
They say the mysterious object could be an alien implant – suggesting that the French emperor was once abducted by a UFO![Not necessarily...]
“The possible ramifications of this discovery are almost too enormous to comprehend,” declared Dr. Andre Dubois, who made the astonishing revelation in a French medical journal.
“Until now, every indication has been that victims of alien abduction are ordinary people who play no role in world events.
“Now we have compelling evidence that extraterrestrials acted in the past to influence human history – and may continue to do so!”
Dr. Dubois made the amazing find while studying Napoleon’s exhumed skeleton on a $140,000 grant from the French government.
“I was hoping to learn whether he suffered from a pituitary disorder that contributed to his small stature,” he explained.
But instead the researcher found something far more extraordinary: “As I examined the interior of the skull, my hand brushed across a tiny protrusion.
“I then looked at the area under a magnifying glass – and was stunned to find that the object was some kind of super-advanced microchip.”
From the extent of bone growth around the chip, the expert believes it was implanted when Bonaparte was young.
“Napoleon vanished from sight for a period of several days in July 1794, when he was 25. He later claimed he’d been held prisoner during the Themidorian coup – but no record of that arrest exists. I believe that is when the abduction took place.”
From that time on, Napoleon’s rise was meteoric. By the next year, he’d been put in charge of the French army in Italy.
Miraculously, he was able to transform starving, rag-tag troops into a top-notch fighting force and to crush the Italians.
In 1804, after a string of startling victories, the pint-size general crowned himself emperor of France – and his empire soon expanded to include what is now Germany and Austria, as well as Switzerland, Italy and Denmark.
“Napoleon used military strategies more than a hundred years ahead of his time,” said Dr. Dubois. “Perhaps the implant somehow enhanced his abilities.”
[...]
By the time of his defeat by the British at Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon had altered the face of Europe.
“What Western history would have been like had the aliens not intervened, we can only guess,” observed Dr. Dubois. “Thus we cannot know whether they acted to help mankind or harm us.”

Morgellons Disease
· A Crime of Silence.
http://www.viewzone.com/morgellons.html
If you have ever watched horror movies, you've probably seen one where a person becomes infested by bugs or worms. Their skin begins to move and ripple as dark shapes squirm under its surface. Suddenly their skin bursts open allowing a colony of bugs to escape! While this is an exaggeration of Morgellons Disease, it's not that far off.
For over a decade now, thousands of people on every continent (except Greenland) have contracted a mysterious disease that still eludes the medical community. Morgellons remains shrouded with controversy, paradoxes and politics and has become a major "conspiracy theory" on the world wide web.
Morgellons victims have the sensation of bugs, worms or sometimes ants crawling under their skin. They describe being stung or feeling like needles are sticking in them. They develop skin lesions that bleed and fester, exuding a kind of film that covers the wounds and prevents them from healing. But the weirdest thing is the mysterious appearance of fluffy, white cotton balls that form on the surface and colored threads that seem to grow from inside the skin.
The threads or filaments are what brings most victims to their physician. After weeks of observing and collecting these threads, patients often bring them to their physician in matchboxes, plastic bags or jars. Quite often, Morgellons sufferers are excited and a bit hysterical and suggest that they have some sort of "thing" living inside of them. Totally unfamiliar with these symptoms, the typical physician usually makes the diagnosis of delusional parasitosis and refers the patient for psychiatric care.
Morgellons does, in fact, have a psychological component. Victims report problems with short term memory, clouded thoughts and emotional fatigue. The reluctance of physicians to perform tests or examine their specimens further incites these victims and deepens the conviction of their caregivers that the wounds are self-inflicted and psychogenic.
With the help of the internet, Mary Leitao, who gave the disease its name, reached out to others who had been turned away by the medical community. After being frustrated with the treatment of her young child who had these symptoms, Mary found other victims of this strange disease. Together they demanded that the medical community (and politicians) take them seriously. Through the influence of her oragnaization, The Morgellons Research Foundation (morgellons.org), some scientists did examine the specimens, specifically the strange threads that Morgellons victims had growing from their wounds. The results of laboratory tests on these fibers were unexpected and extremely strange. This strangeness has only served to feed conspiracy theorists who claim that they are the result of such things as chemtrails, a secret genetic modification program, an alien organism or rogue nano-technology.
As you will see, these theories all seem to have some legitimate basis...
