Peter Diamandis: Abundance is our future

http://www.ted.com Onstage at TED2012, Peter Diamandis makes a case for optimism -- that we'll invent, innovate and create ways to solve the challenges that loom over us. "I'm not saying we don't have our set of problems; we surely do. But ultimately, we knock them down." TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed cap...

Teen Surfing Champion Killed in Shark Attack

A 13-year-old surfing champion died in a shark attack off the coast of the Indian ocean island of Reunion, officials said Monday. Elio Canestri was surfing with seven others off the west coast of the island on Sunday morning when a shark attacked, a spokesman for the island's rescue services agency told NBC News. The shark sunk its teeth into the teen's stomach and flung him around the water as he prepared to mount a wave, the spokesman added. A spokesman said, "A boat was launched very quickly, and the victim was dragged out of the sea, but he died from his wounds. Those who witnessed the attack, including other children, are being treated for trauma." http://nbcnews.to/1JDYyc1 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

Large Military Convoy Spotted Headed Toward Texas from Oklahoma

Make Sure to Subscribe to the New J.KNIGHT Channel: http://bit.ly/1EkkVQI With the official beginning of Jade Helm 15 still more than 3 months away, a massive military convoy was spotted on the H.E. Bailey Turnpike heading south of Oklahoma City towards Texas and captured in the several photographs published above and below. We were told that these pictures are only a small fraction of the entire convoy and that the person who took them had 'never seen anything like it'. They also took two videos during the long passing of this convoy, one 5 minutes long and one 3 minutes long, but the videos 'oddly disappeared' from their phone. While some may unwisely dismiss this convoy as 'normal military movement', ANP strongly disagrees and cite as evidence recent warnings voiced by a survivor of the 'round-up' of dissidents by the Fidel Castrol regime in Cuba who told us he was 'immensely worried about Jade Helm' as shared in the 3rd video below as well a...

Smartphones Could Be Used As Earthquake Early Warning Systems

Smartphone sensors could be used in the future to give officials a five-second warning if a major earthquake is set to strike. It may not seem much, but it would allow enough time to sound alarms and shut off gas lines, potentially saving numerous lives. The research was conducted by the US Geological survey and if it is crowdsourced, they could bring the technology to fruition. Finely tuned scientific instruments such as the seismograph are used to predict big earthquakes in countries like Mexico and Japan. But researchers at the US Geological Survey (USGS), NASA and Carnegie Mellon University were curious about how data and sensors used in GPS or fitness trackers on smartphones could help in developing an early warning system for earthquakes. USGS' Benjamin Brooks told New Scientist that GPS sensors can identity where you are standing, but they also log a sudden lurch in one direction. He thinks that this information could indicate a seismic shift and could be helpful in predict...
