Gunfights with Alien Beings
Here’s a bizarre one. As some of you know, I had been reviewing the Kelly-Hopkinsville UFO encounter from August 1955. I say bizarre because I don’t know of another case that quite mirrors it.

What struck me here was that the witnesses engaged the alien “stalkers” with firearms that had no effect on those creatures. I’m not going to argument the merits of the case here, only focus on one aspect of it, and that is the gunfire. To recap briefly, Billy Ray Taylor had gone to the wel... read more

Baghdad To Send Budget Payment To KRG For 2nd Time

The Slave Societies of HistoryThe economy and culture of Ancient Greece and Rome (the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire) was fundamentally dependent on slave labor. Despite its pretensions of being a bastion of liberty, rational philosophy, and democracy, Ancient Athens had the largest slave population in the Balkans and the Levant. Most historians accept that there were at least 80,000 slaves in Ancient Athens when it was at the peak of power (out of a population of 120,000). But the actual number of slaves might be higher than this. In the census ordered by tyrant Demetrius Phalereus, between 317 and 307 BC... read more

Compact Speakers Can Be Better Than Ever, Thanks To Controlled Destruction Of SoundDevices we watch and listen on are smaller than ever, which means speakers for sound are as well. In the past, it was difficult to get quality sound from small parts because sound is still analog when it gets to us, and that takes surface area. Like synthetic grape flavor, using one important part when it requires lots means a result is not quite right. Today's compact speakers are more like synthetic banana flavor; you are unlikely to know the difference, and that is due to mastering physics beyond the surface area - controlled destruction of sound waves. read more read more
