Airport Wayfinder Arrives in Toronto - Travel Just Got Easier

Have you ever planned out your business trip or vacation down to the very last detail - with the best deals on hotels and flights, even great ideas of where to eat and what to do - only to get to the airport and have all the excitement come to a crashing halt when you can’t find your departure gate?

Molly the heroic pony

I've written articles over the years about horses who survived amputation surgery. There was Boitron, the California Thoroughbred stallion who could service mares after amputation surgery. There were Dr. Ric Redden's dramatic cases of founder survivors who galloped around his paddock on artificial feet with "transplanted frogs". Dr. Chris Colles had the never-say-die Appaloosa in England with the spring-loaded foot. And who can forget that paint yearling in India? Or the landmine-maimed elephant amputee in Thailand? Longtime Hoofcare and Lameness Journal readers will remember them all.

Massive Solar Flare Possible Again

December 2005 saw a small solar storm disrupt satellite to ground communications and GPS navigation signals for 10 minutes. However just under a hundred and fifty years earlier, a much larger solar flare caused much greater influences than a small communications black out.

Did Earth Once Have Multiple Moons?

The history of planet Earth is a fascinating story, involving catastrophic collisions with other small planets and a veritable plethora of asteroid impacts. What we see around us today has been here for a relatively short amount of time, and what came before is of great interest to many of us. So I was immediately intrigued by the possibility that, in our past, we had more than one moon.

“Politicians - Diseased Passengers on the Driverless Insane Train!”

Just about every politician today, in any country, at any level of government, has been infected with multiple viruses that induce insanity, in what would otherwise be normal human beings.

Why Become Independent to Give Up Sovereignty?

Italy’s general elections two weeks ago resulted in an absolute majority for Silvio Berlusconi’s rightist alliance. Mr. Berlusconi thanks his victory to the astonishing and pivotal electoral success of the Lega Nord, a constituent of his alliance. The Northern League completely wiped away the left in the north of Italy. It doubled in size and won a stunning 8.3% of the national vote, sending 60 deputies (+37) and 26 senators (+13) to Rome. In some northern regions it had the support of up to 50% of the electorate.

‘O Canada’—Censored

By Joan Delaney, Epoch Times Staff OTTAWA—When is it okay to ban someone from playing "O Canada" in our nation's capital? When the clothing they wear might upset Chinese communists.

“You’ve come a long way baby”

Government withdraws police protection from Bangladeshi Journalist

Right after spreading of anti-Semitic, anti-US and pro-Islamist campaign by a reporter with Associated Press in Dhaka, Bangladesh’s military backed interim government has suddenly withdrawn police protection from the residence of Weekly Blitz editor Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury as of last night. When contacted, the duty officer at Uttara Police station told Blitz that the “protection was withdrawn due to shortage of forces”, while another source on condition of anonymity disclosed that the police protection was withdrawn due to specific briefs from the top brass.

Repression of press and paid agents in Bangladesh

In my entire journalistic career, possibly I never saw a section of paid journalists opposing publication of reports and articles on the ongoing repression of journalists in a country. But, it happened in Bangladesh! And such nasty attempts at opposing this topic come from a journalist working with the Associated Press (AP). The other comes from a journalist belonging to a minor English language daily newspaper, which is owned by an ousted and extremely controversial advisor of the military emergency government.

Oprah Shifts to the Dark Side

Notorious New Ager George Lucas’s wildly popular Star Wars movies abound with occult themes. In Return of the Jedi, dissident Jedi warrior Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side of the Force and became the evil Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. Likewise, Oprah Winfrey has fully shifted to the dark side and is a full-fledged New Age spiritual leader and occultist. Make no mistake about it: as with Vader, Oprah is fully aware that she has made The Shift.

“What Has Government Done For You?”  “Let Us Count the Ways”

Life is indeed complicated and stressful! There is so much to do and so little time to do it. What with jobs, commutes, kids, homes, vacations, entertainment and sports, it's so hard to pay much attention to what our government is doing. But just because we look the other way does not diminish the affect of their actions on our daily lives, much less our bank accounts.

Shock Therapy for Depression

Sufferers of deep depression may finally have a solution to an illness that can literally debilitate living. Depression is now getting the sort of attention that cancer and AIDS have been getting for years, though it has no doubt affected just as many people over the decades. However even with this new attention, it is neither curable nor necessarily easy to live with.

Diverting Hurricanes Next in Wacky Scientific Plans

The history of science is no less filled with idiocy and insanity than any other field of endeavor, if not more so. From bizarre DARPA mind-control experiments to nuking the crap out of atolls, science has done it all. And, lucky for us the climate sciences aren’t immune from this either.
