    [h=3]Cartels are using these 'narco-submarines' to move tens of thousands of pounds of drugs at a time[/h] Mexican and South American drug cartels and their broader networks are entirely dependent on an ability to get their product onto US soil. As the United States, Mexico, and Colombia intensified their war on drugs throughout the late 1990s and the 2000s, the cartels had to reimagine various ways that they could smuggle cocaine into the US. With billions of dollars in annual revenue at stake, no idea for getting drugs into the US buyers was considered too outlandish - Sinaloa cartel leader Chapo Guzman even pioneered the use of cross-border drug catapults. But the ultimate in high-risk, high-reward smuggling is the "narco submarine," homemade subs that can bring thousands of pounds of product to the US at once.

    [h=3]Now - And The Physics Of Time[/h] Time is elusive and enigmatic. The moment now is ephemeral. Quandaries and confusion about time date back as far as Aristotle and Augustine, and as recently as Einstein and Feynman. Physicists understand much about time, how its flow varies depending on velocity and gravity, but they haven't reached any consensus on why it flows at all. If time is simply the fourth dimension, why can we stand still in space but not in time? Progress in this field has been so slow that most scientists simply ignore the question. Consider the following remarkable statement: You are reading the word "now" right now. I make that statement, despite the fact that I could have no prior knowledge of when you were going

Not just that but if the stela below really is an ancient astronaut interpretation then this stela might have been created at Tikal and later moved to El Baul. Here is the greatest evidence in support of the ancient astronaut theory supporting star visitor hypothesis in my star map theory proposed thus far. Erik VonDaniken was perhaps the first to discover an ancient astronaut interpretation of this Maya stela seen here. The full name of this stela is

[h=3]Hubble spots evidence of water plumes on Jupiter's moon Europa[/h] Astronomers on Monday said they have spotted evidence of water vapor plumes rising from Jupiter's moon Europa, a finding that might make it easier to learn whether life exists in the warm, salty ocean hidden beneath its icy surface. The apparent plumes detected by the Hubble Space Telescope shoot about 125 miles (200 km) above Europa's surface before, presumably, raining material back down onto the moon's surface, NASA said. Europa, considered one of the most promising candidates for life in the solar system beyond Earth, boasts a global ocean with twice as much water as in all of Earth's seas hidden under a layer of extremely cold and hard ice of unknown thickness.

    [h=3]Gender is not just male or female. 12 people across the gender spectrum explain why.[/h] America’s concept of gender is dramatically changing. "There’s nothing wrong with taking a label for gender and finding out it doesn’t work for you," Yesenia Ruelas, a self-described "gender apathetic" 18-year-old, said. "I went through several labels before I figured out what works for me. And if anyone tries to shame you for quote-unquote experimenting, fuck them. That’s not their business - your gender, your sexuality, whatever. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, feel free to experiment." It’s a comment that might confuse some people: What does it mean to experiment with gender? And what labels are involved - what is there beyond male and female?

    [h=3]Earth's Oxygen Levels Are Declining And Scientists Don't Know Why[/h] A new study shows Earth’s oxygen levels continue to decline, a phenomena that has puzzled scientists. The study, published in Science by Princeton University professor Daniel Stolper, presents data measured from small air bubbles trapped in ice on Greenland and Antarctica. Air bubbles trapped within ice provides clues to the atmospheric composition at the time of “deposition” and can be analyzed for paleo-oxygen levels. The study finds that over the past 800,000 years the amount of oxygen found in the atmosphere has decreased by 0.7 percent and continues to decline. Fortunately, the 0.7 percent decline is not something that will or has caused significant problems for life on Earth. An equivalent

In response to a question about J.K.

These theropods walked on two feet, often weighed about as much or more than a small car, and in some cases were 40 ft long and 12 ft tall. But just in case their size didn’t announce their presence, you definitely would have noticed their fancy bony crowns. On Tuesday (Sept. 27), researchers from North Carolina State University published a paper describing a trend they noticed among these Jurassic giants: the larger they were, the bigger the headgear. They believe that these bony cranial structures may have actually been one of the reasons that these dinosaurs got so

Protesters At Gandhi Statue Unveiling Claim He Was Racist, Sexist

Protesters tried shouting down a crowd of hundreds who turned out in a California park on Sunday to witness the unveiling of a bronze Mahatma Gandhi statue, FOX40 reported. A few demonstrators used megaphones to shout that Gandhi was a “racist” as the “Gandhi Statue of Peace” was unveiled on what would have been Gandhi’s 147th birthday, The Sacramento Bee reported. Gandhi, largely viewed as a symbol of peaceful resistance, is seen as paving the way for leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. But some of the Davis protesters - many of whom were Sikh activists opposed to the Indian government - cast Gandhi in a far different light. “They want you to believe, and they want Davis

Now each and every child is ready to fight against India." The note was signed by the Pakistani-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, Kumar added.

Each time, she escaped certain death, as the price for anyone who helped a Jew was summary execution. Sendler, a Catholic, helped establish an underground network , ferrying children - in coffins, toolboxes, even under coats - to the homes of Polish gentile families. “Irena’s Children” tells Sendler’s tale - including how she wrote each child’s real name on a scroll that she buried under an apple tree. The lists represented a hope that after the war had ended, she would be able to reunite the kids with their parents. Sendler was working at the Citizens’

Some leave on rubber dinghys to get to the European Union across the Mediterranean Sea from places like Libya and Egypt. Once they arrive, they face a host of obstacles like figuring out new languages and getting an education or a job. For at least two child refugees from Egypt and Ethiopia who now live in Italy, another obstacle they face is access to bathrooms.

It sounded exactly like her 23-year-old daughter’s voice, begging for help. Then an unfamiliar voice announced, “We have your daughter.” What followed next was five hours of hell.
