911 Pentagon Airliner Conspiracy Theory Busted Again!
It seems that whenever there is a natural disaster or a man-made one that all of a sudden the conspiracy theorists come out of the wood-work and scream bloody murder. Well that is still what is going on today as Conspiracy Theorists haphazardly investigate the 911 airliner crash into the Pentagon. According to the crazy conspiracy theorists no airliner ever hit that building, instead they say it was a Global Hawk UAV? This simply is not so and the conspiracy theorists say this because there was not much left of the aircraft that hit the building. But do you want to know why there was nothing left of the aircraft? Some Debris did come off and the wings buckled but all that stuff was traveling 500 mph...

A Guide to Memory Mattresses
Memory foam was formerly developed for NASA in the 1970's and was swiftly noticed by the medical community as a possible aid for people in hospitals, nursing homes and wheelchairs that were susceptible to pressure sores. The benefit to this material was the ability to dispense pressure over a greater area. At the same time as the early memory foam mattress did seem to mitigate areas of the body around the pressure points, these first cushions did not last particularly wear and needed replacement too often to be considered cost effective. Memory foam is probably best known by the majority of people as the substance that was used by the astronauts to protect them from the extreme g-forces occurring...
May 4 - Aug 4, 2009 and Dec 8, 2009 - Jan 2, 2010 Jupiter is the planet of good-luck, optimism, and expansion. Neptune is the ruler of dreams, the psychic, and creativity. Sometimes conjunctions can be stressful, and sometimes they can be positive. It all depends upon the situation and the people reacting to it. Jupiter and Neptune are slow outer planets. Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the sun, and Neptune requires about 165 years to make one revolution. So, this aspect only occurs about every 13 years. Because these planets turn retrograde so often, some of their conjunctions lasted a very long time, and others only hung around a few weeks. I took a little stroll back in history to see what...
A Brief History of Modern Aviation
It might be said that modern aviation began on November 21, 1783 in France when two brothers went aloft in a hot air balloon. The true beginning of the era is usually considered to be December 17, 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the first heavier than air powered plane a few hundred feet off a sand dune at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This first plane could not fly much further because it was almost impossible to control it. In the next decade the wide spread use of ailerons made aircraft manageable and by the outbreak of World War I, aircraft had developed enough for the famous dogfights that took place during that war. Although aircraft had come a long way during this time, they were not large...

History Of Astronomy
When we look to the stars, we think of the unknown and the future, but more than any other science, astronomy is deeply rooted in the past. From Stonehenge to Galileo to the Hubble telescope, the following article details the history of astronomy Stonehenge The Egyptians, Mayans, and Chinese were all avid observers of the heavens. Perhaps the most recognizable example in history is Stonehenge which was built to the movements of the sun by the Neolithic people of Britain. Stonehenge was important for religious reasons, but people also believed the stars could help guide their lives and foretell events. This was true in a very practical sense: accurately predicting the seasons helped farmers plan...

A Look at the History of Memory Foam
Acting in the 1967 hit movie The Graduate, Walter Brooke had no idea what he was on to when he forced this nutty piece of advice on Dustin Hoffman: Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Benjamin: Yes, sir. Mr. McGuire: Are you listening? Benjamin: Yes, I am. Mr. McGuire: Plastics. To Brooke's sincere astonishment, "plastics" took the stock market by storm the very next year. The success of plastic, with uses limited only by the imagination, became one of the most important legacies of the 19th and 20th Centuries. If the Oscar-winning director Mike Nichols were ever to update his movie for a modern audience, Mr. McGuire would have two new words for Benjamin: memory foam. Memory...

History of copper
nt face="Times New Roman" size="3">Copper is becoming an increasingly popular choice in fields from medicine to home décor, but how much do you really know about this metal? For those who don’t know very much, here is a brief history of copper. Copper: An Overview Copper is formed in volcanic areas with high concentrations of sulfur, which when under a great deal of pressure become hot sulfuric gases. With a melting point of almost two thousand degrees Fahrenheit, copper is a very stable element that does not degrade or become corrupted easily. This is one of the aspects that have made copper so useful to humans, as it does not rust or break easily. Copper is one of only two metals...

Features of polycarbonate lenses
Since its creation in 1970s, polycarbonate has been widely used in aerospace applications, helmet visors of astronauts and space shuttle windshields. Today, this material has been the standard for safety glasses, full frame glasses and men eyeglasses. Polycarbonate lenses are thinner, lighter and 10 times more impact-resistant than traditional plastic lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are made in a way that is quite different from that of regular plastic lenses. Conventional plastic lenses are made from a cast molding process. The production of a polycarbonate lens uses an injection molding process, during which small pellets will be heated into liquid polycarbonate. Further steps include liquid...
Is video surveillance an effective tool to fight crime?
Video surveillance cameras have over the years captured some of the most defining moments in history. Whether it was the last few steps taken by the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, or the haunting images of the 9/11 terrorist boarding their ill fated flights, video has often been the silent witness to both tragedy and triumph. It’s role in documenting historical events is beyond reproach. But is video surveillance an effective tool when it comes to prosecuting criminal activity? There are many different opinions on this questions. Some may point to statistics which indicate that geographical areas with a significant surveillance presence are just as likely to have criminal activity as...

Recession? Let the Revolution Begin!
The economic drum I have been beating for a while now has gone mainstream as the "R" word, recession, rolls off the tongues of almost every news broadcaster. Suddenly, or so it seems, the economy is tanking. Sure the housing market was already sliding but Christmas season provided a pregnant pause in hopes that increased consumer consumption might save the day. But those kinder and gentler days are over. Right out of the 2008 gate, the "R" word came roaring shamelessly into our living rooms with major Wall Street sell-offs catching everyone's attention. Yet, as I mentioned in the beginning, many writers and thinkers including myself have seen the writing on the wall and this day coming down the pike...
Clinoptilolite Zeolite
The zeolites are a popular assemblage of minerals, containing an indispensable source of minerals for industrial and productive purposes. They possess complexity, scarcity and splendour. Zeolites form in the cavities of volcanic rocks, as a result of low level metamorphism. Varying types and qualities of the mineral is a result of the combination of heat and pressure, with some forming from minimal amounts of heat and pressure, while others are formed in regions of high metamorphic activity. This group has even been seen to form in space... experimentally grown aboard a space shuttle. The Zeolites have been receiving increasing attention for their aesthetics and productive functions, being the...

Most people lead rather ordinary lives, built around family, job, church and hobbies. This is fine for most. The need to pay the bills leads many to engage in work that is unfulfilling, boring and stifling. That so many people work at energy sapping employment should be a motivating factor in seeking entrepreneurial opportunity. Sadly, most people are totally risk averse and eliminate themselves from the potential rewards available almost exclusively to entrepreneurs. The perceived risk taker (the entrepreneur) is, in actuality, not the real risk taker. The real risk taker is the person willing to work a dull job, for average pay, letting life fly by without ever knowing the excitement of being in...
A Squidoo lens is designed to be a highly focused window to other directly related resources - blog posts, websites, Flickr photos, YouTube videos, web-based articles or e-books.

Wireless Trackball Mouse - Four Advantages
A wireless trackball mouse is a great alternative to the corded computer mouse. Today, most computers are sold with a very inexpensive mouse that often does not even last for a year. A wireless trackball mouse often carries a five year warranty with it. These trackballs offer a number of advantages over mice. Less Space Even the largest trackball mouse takes less work surface than is required to use even the smallest mouse. If your work area is cluttered with papers, staplers, post it notes and other miscellaneous items, a trackball is definitely for you. Stationary Use Because a wireless mouse does not require being moved around in order to work, it will never run out of work surface. It will never...
Writing - 3 Golden Rules of Indexing
When you are indexing a document, that is, creating an Index for a document, make sure you observe the following three golden rules for maximum user satisfaction: 1) Limit your Index to a maximum of THREE indented levels. Human mind starts losing track of the nestled groupings once you cross over into the fourth level and beyond. It helps a great deal if every level has its own styling. For example, the first level could be in BOLD letters, the second level in normal PLAIN fonts, and the third in plain ITALIC fonts. I'd recommend to use the same font family and not switch to different fonts in between indentation levels. 2) Always start your indexed words with LOWER CASE letters, unless it is an...
Range of Robots
Today everybody knows about robots. Robots are one of the best inventions of science and technology. But how many of us actually know about robots in depth? I am sure that many of you might not know so much. In simple words, a robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial agent. The word robot refers to both virtual software agents and physical robots as well. However, today the robots are not limited to specific applications and are used in many different tasks. Robots are extensively used in the agriculture, medical, industrial and other fields; they are also being used at homes as caregivers for the elderly and the handicapped. Some classes of robots are mentioned below: Telerobots Telerobots are...

Top 10 Tips on How to Open Your Speech
You have a few seconds to engage your audience at the beginning of your presentation. What should you do to ensure a successful opening to your speech? How can you start your speech with greater success? Imagine that you are at NASA mission control. The launch countdown echoes in your ears: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - Speak! When the space shuttle blasts off, those first few seconds of lift are critical. It is a tiny portion of the total journey, yet if anyone errors during these few seconds the mission will crash and burn. The opening to your speech is equally important to your success as a presenter. If you stumble during your opening or deliver a weak and confusing opening then you might have...
Alternative Energy Sources Up In The Sky
Considering the danger represented by the climate changes and the global warming phenomena scientists and businessmen worldwide started to look for alternative energy sources. Besides the wind power or the nuclear energy is has been recently taken into consideration a new power generating substance: helium 3. What exactly is helium 3? Helium 3, an isotope of helium, a gas used to inflate balloons, has a nucleus with two protons and one neutron. The solar wind, the rapid stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun, strikes the planets and their sattelites in the solar system and thus helium 3 is deposited in the superficial soil (also called regolith). As the Moon's atmosphere is not very dense...
Collecting EM Energy from the Magnetic Field of Mother Earth
Is it indeed possible to collect some of the electro magnetic energy coming of our planet as it hurls through the solar system in this bubble traveling thru deep space? The Online Think Tank believes it is and it is a common topic of conversation too. Not longer than a decade ago the coordinator for the Online Think Tank came up with this idea after reading about the energy tail collection device, which almost electrocuted the Space Shuttle. Ah ha, said NASA Scientists, well there is all the power we need the physicists were right in their calculations, well actually they underestimated this massive power. So lets build a giant satellite with 20-mile long rotating energy tails that spin to collect...
Stamps collecting, especially the old postage stamps has great value. They are fun, affordable, history, travel, art, valuable, and important. Here is the explanation of their great value. 1. Stamps Are Fun - Stamp collecting is fun because it's personal - you collect the kinds of stamps you want, the way you want to collect them, whenever and wherever you want to. There's no right way or wrong way. 2. Stamps Are Affordable - Imagine owning a genuine U.S. postage stamp that's over 130 years old for as little as $1.25! Even very old stamps can be very affordable, especially in postally used condition. Used stamps have a real history and romance all their own. 3. Stamps Are History - Every time you...
Coelophysis Dinosaurs
Coelophysis was a dinosaur that lived in North America during the late Triassic period, between about 225 million and 220 million years. It is one of the earliest dinosaurs that we know of it. Coelophysis was relatively small and bipedal (walked on two legs). It stood perhaps between 8 feet (2.4 meters) and 10 feet (3 meters) tall. It is thought possible that Coelophysis lived in groups - one reason why this is suspected, is that in 1947 in Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, fossils from about a dozen animals were found together. An alternative explanation however is simply that the fossils were simply multiple animals which were swept away and killed together as a result of a flash flood. The earliest find...

Fun Things to Do in Washington DC
Washington DC is one of my favorite cities to visit. I have been there about a dozen times, mostly as an adult. I mainly enjoy visiting the Mall and the Smithsonian. The Mall is the most exciting part of DC. It is shaped like a cross, with the Washington Monument in the center, the Capital to the north, the White House to the east, the Lincoln Memorial to the south, and the Jefferson Memorial to the west. Each of these buildings is beautifully designed in the style of Ancient Greek architecture. Several newer monuments have since been added, including the Korean and Vietnam War Memorials and a large statue of Albert Einstein. The Smithsonian has been a must-see on every visit I have made to DC in...
All Time Greatest TV Sci Fi
n discussing the greatest science fiction television series of all time, there is sure to arise a heated debate amongst friends. There are so many great science fiction TV series' that it may be impossible to compare them to each other, especially when they are compared among different eras and generations of television viewers. However, there is only one television series that is always brought up in these types of conversations: Star Trek. The main reason that Star Trek is the greatest science fiction series of all time is that it has reached across several generations of television viewers. The Original Series of Star Trek began in 1966 and lasted for about four years. Over the course of the next...

Las Vegas Luxor Pyramid Laser Light
One of the coolest things in Las Vegas is said to be the Luxor Pyramid Laser Light and recently a member of the ISS International Space Station mentioned he could see it, as it was a clear night. Many people who drive to Las Vegas or visit there drive down the Strip tonight and wonder if how far away it can be seen from the air. Well personally I can remember traveling to Los Angeles LAX from Washington DC and could see it from 40,000 ASL (above sea level) and could see it very well and as far as 150-200 miles away too; a beacon in the night. My dad who was an airline pilot for Continental Airlines has made mention of it; he said a good four hundred miles not sure, though as I have never seen it...
What will it take to get you to set up a website?
Earlier today I spoke with a friend who sells web hosting and design services. Take a guess at the MINIMUM price for her company to set up a website?...SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS. Seriously...$6,000.00. Now please tell me, how many "solo-entrepreneurs" or "mom and pop" stores or even just small businesses in general can realistically spend $6,000.00 just to get a website up (remember, this just gets the site up...you still have to figure out how to get people to actually VISIT the website). Oddly enough, later this afternoon I spoke with a client who told me that they contacted someone from their networking group who quoted $13,000.00 as their minimum set-up fee for website design and...

Is a Memory Foam Mattress Good For a Bad Back?
The memory foam mattress is a wonderful innovation that has given relief to so many people in need. Originally, memory foam was developed by NASA for use in the space shuttle; but after some review the other more viable uses of it became apparent. After its humble beginnings in the space industry, memory foam was repurposed to be used with medical patients. Scientists, after studying the beneficial qualities of memory foam, came to realize that this material could potentially prevent patients from developing bedsores. They came to this realisation from the memory foam's unique ability to spread pressure away from the body, thus decreasing the amount of pressure felt. After much testing and scrutiny...

Retro Kitchen Design
Any American watching old television sitcoms during the Fifties would know what the retro look is like, especially in the kitchen. For today, the same retro kitchen design has been given a bit of a facelift, provided there are a few good old American items and furnishings still available. All it takes is a little of that American know-how. There is no such thing as recycled in a sense, but anything that has a lime green color is pretty much pushing it already. Of course it depends on the homeowner's preference, but with some materials that are no longer available, there is always the present compromise. Wood is also a popular way to bring back the retro look, as designers of the past have been...
Free Models From the Web - Spacecraft Paper Modeling
In a previous article, I discussed how I discovered the wonderful world of paper (or card) models available for download. You simply download a graphic file, print it on your inkjet printer and assemble with glue. While this medium will never replace plastic models, there is a lot to say for a model format that offers you unlimited replacement parts, scale adjustability, and usually is, well, free. If you love space ships, as I do, there is a great variety of space models free for download. Whether you want a model based on a move, TV show or reality, you can probably find it. Currell Graphics features models of the (pre-spaceage) V-2 rocket from WWII and the SpaceShipOne. The Lower Hudson Valley...
Sheet Metal Software Offers the Best Plans For Precision and Accuracy For Your Metal Working Craft
When people hear about Boeing the first thing that will come into their minds is airplanes, really huge airplanes. It is not surprising considering the fact that Boeing's iconic 747 has lorded the skies for many years. Before the Airbus A30 came out, the Boeing 747 was considered as the largest commercial passenger aircraft. That is a record that it held for almost 37 years. Perhaps Boeing would be forever stamped into the public minds as the manufacturer of the Jumbo Jet, but Boeing also contributed significantly to the development of the computer-aided design (CAD) technology. In fact, it can be fairly said that CAD technology has its roots in Boeing when the company established its "Master...
Rocket Thrust Equation And Launch Vehicles
The law of physics on which rocket propulsion is based is called the principle of momentum. According to this principle, the time rate of change of the total momentum of a system of particles is equal to the net external force. The momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. If the net external force is zero, then the principle of momentum becomes the principle of conservation of momentum and the total momentum of the system is constant. To balance the momentum conveyed by the exhaust, the rocket must generate a momentum of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction and thus it accelerates forward. The system of particles may be defined as the sum of all the particles initially...
There has been a distinct shift away from the old style, traditional toilets over recent years. Toilet manufacturers are producing space age, hi-tec toilet units that would look great in the space shuttle, let alone the suburban American home. If you are considering remodeling your home, one of these ultra sleek, dual flush, elongated seat, low consumption, slow close seat, ultra comfy toilets may be just what you are looking for. Phew, I never thought I'd get that all out in one breath. But seriously, the toilets made by American Standard, Toto, Kohler and Gerber, to name but a few, are positively amazing. I recently looked at the Kohler Rialto toilet in black, what a machine!!!! I was half...
Mattress Evolution - What You Need to Know
The evolution of the mattress started thousands of years ago. One thing to note is around 3000 B.C., cavemen were smarter than the stereotypical Geico commercials we see today. Back then they would lay stones on the ground and cover them with animal skin to use as a bed. However, we want to start the evolution around the 1800s when mattresses were nothing more than sheets packed with feathers. It was a great innovation during that time, but it definitely wasn't the greatest idea either. In the beginning there were newspaper articles written about how individuals spent all day filling mattresses with feathers. The problems that came with this idea is that the support wasn't anywhere to be found. They...
NASA's Contribution to Gel Ant Farms
Gel ant farms are just one of the hundreds of spin-offs from the space program. We?ve always thought of space research as being a bit wacky. Ever since the Russians launched Laika the dog into space for no apparent reason (other than to get one over on the Americans) and since Alan Shepard used a six iron to hit a golf ball on the moon, we?ve been wondering what space research is all about. It's all about gravity Well, it turns out that ant farms also feature high on Nasa?s list of worthwhile experiments. Since the space program began there have been dozens of experiments devised to discover how processes that rely on gravity, or are affected by gravity, operate when freed from that ubiquitous force...

12 Ways to Control Costs in Your Business
