Japan fast and furious, but outside neon cities lies a untainted wilderness forested islands, massive mountains and great volcanoes. A fantastic varieties of animals inhabit these diverse landscapes a place were against the odds life can flourish. Its time to look more then busy streets and discover Japans secrets.
In this Timewatch extraordinary, history specialist Bettany Hughes disentangles a standout amongst the most interesting riddles ever.
She exhibits a progression of topographical, archeological and recorded hints to demonstrate that the legend of Atlantis was motivated by a genuine verifiable occasion - the best common calamity of the antiquated world.
She is following the sources of the Atlantis myth and introducing proof that the Thera ejection motivated Plato's record of the magical area.
2,400 years back Greek scholar Plato composed of an antiquated island human progress of unparalleled riches and wonder, which was struck by seismic tremors and surges and was gobbled up by the ocean in one deplorable day and night.
In early 2013 the vessel took part in the National Geographic TV show "21st Century Warship" along with USS Independence. The show premiered in the UK on the 10th of February 2013.
Freedom left for a 10 month deployment to Singapore in March 2013. On 11 March 2013, Freedom became the first LCS to reach Hawaii.[ On 16 March the ship's diesel engines, which have had years of problems, shut down in mid-ocean, leaving the ship adrift. On April 18, the Freedom arrived at the Changi Naval Base in Singapore, set to participate in joint military exercises.] On 18–19 May, Freedom participated in the Republic of Singapore Navy's Open House 2013 at Changi Naval Base. Visitors to the Open House were allowed to board and visit Freedom. On 21 May, Freedom 's first venture from Singapore harbor was cut short by yet another equipment breakdown,[ followed on 20 July 2013 by yet another breakdown requiring a return to port. The frequent breakdowns found the crew short of the Navy's sleep requirement, even with the maximum possible core crew and help from contractors and the mission module crew. Although billed as a trip for training and international cooperation exercises, Freedom conducted standard patrols while in the South China Sea. Despite suffering several breakdowns, the deployment was deemed a success from a research and development platform standpoint; while deployed for 10 months, the ship had 70 percent availability, on par with most other forward deployed ships in the fleet.
In November 2013, Freedom delivered relief supplies to the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan from 16 nautical miles (30 km) off shore, using her own and another ship's helicopters.
From 25 April-16 May 2014, Freedom conducted the future concept of operations (CONOPS) for manned and unmanned helicopters aboard littoral combat ships. Operations had the manned MH-60R working together with the unmanned MQ-8B Fire Scout. The demonstration included one MH-60R and one MQ-8B flying with the surface warfare (SUW) mission package installed, intended to provide fleet protection against small boats and asymmetric threats.
Professor Jim Al-Khalili recounts the zapping story of our journey to nature's most strange force: electricity. Until decently as of late, electricity was seen as a supernatural force, however it is presently the current's soul world and supports each part of our mechanical progressions.
Without electricity, we would be lost. This arrangement recounts stunning jumps of creative energy and exceptional analyses - an account of free thinker virtuosos who utilized electricity to light our urban areas, to impart over the oceans and through the air, to make cutting edge industry and to give us the computerized unrest.

The secrets of ancient medicine have remain hidden for thousand years, but their been rediscover buried in forgotten texts. How did Inca surgeons drill through the human skull to save patients from certain death, how did a fish with the power of a teaser gun cure pain. An extraordinary surgical tool used to operate on a prince with one of the stranger head wounds in history. Watch the full story below.
The robotics technology is growing the last years all over the world. Its potential its unlimited and humanity can be helped by robots. The danger still remains because this knowledge can be used both ways good and bad. People are scared for what they don't know. The evolution of the technology and science is something that nobody can stop. We have seen similar things in movies and anime but now its reality.
Blood diamonds is a term used for a diamond mined in a war zone and sold to finance an insurgency, an invading army's war efforts, or a warlord's activity. The term is used to highlight the negative consequences of the diamond trade in certain areas, or to label an individual diamond as having come from such an area. Diamonds mined during the recent civil wars in Angola, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, and other nations have been given the label. The term conflict resource refers to analogous situations involving other natural resources.
Alternative medicine is the most rapidly growing field in health care
today. Through the increasing awareness of alternative health care, the
general public is looking for credible practitioners to guide them in
their quest for optimal health. Nutrition is one of the key factors to
attaining optimal health and well-being. The Institute of Holistic
Nutrition (IHN) provides professional nutrition training to those who
seek a new and dynamic career in the alternative health care field.
Holistic Health is a system of health care that accentuates personal
responsibility and a cooperative relationship between practitioner and
client. Its aim is to unify the physical, nutritional, environmental,
emotional and spiritual components of the client’s life. These, together
with correct lifestyle changes, promote healing and well-being. IHN’s
program offers a diversified curriculum encompassing the essential
disciplines of holistic nutrition. Graduates of the diploma program are
recognized as leading nutritional practitioners capable of educating,
and advising clients on how to address and correct specific nutritional
imbalances and weaknesses.
IHN’s curriculum is current, informative, and innovative in nature.
Students receive hands-on exposure to alternative nutrition, through
workshops, guest speakers, industry day trips, and co-operative
placements. The co-operative placement program enables students to
develop associations with potential employers, while providing valuable
work experience. An essential ingredient in the holistic philosophy is
lifestyle modification which IHN’s program addresses through hands-on
holistic cooking classes. Students are given opportunities to develop
professional skills including writing, presentation and public speaking
to enhance communication tactics and counseling abilities. For
individuals currently in the health field, IHN also provides courses
which will keep them abreast on current and future trends in
complementary health care, and add great value to one’s existing
professional practice. IHN’s advisory committee provides direction with
leading edge information and news about current developments in
community-based practices. The committee includes professionals in the
natural health care field.
Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent, containing the geographic South Pole. It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14.0 million square kilometres (5.4 million square miles), it is the fifth-largest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. For comparison, Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi) in thickness which extends to all but the northernmost reaches of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Antarctica, on average, is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the continents. Antarctica is considered a desert, with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 in) along the coast and far less inland. The temperature in Antarctica has reached −89 °C (−129 °F). There are no permanent human residents, but anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people reside throughout the year at the research stations scattered across the continent. Only cold-adapted organisms survive, including many types of algae, bacteria, fungi, plants, protista, and certain animals, such as mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades. Vegetation, where it occurs, is tundra.
Although myths and speculation about a Terra Australis ("Southern Land") date back to antiquity, the Russian expedition of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev on Vostok and Mirny first sighted a continental ice shelf in 1820. The continent, however, remained largely neglected for the rest of the 19th century because of its hostile environment, lack of resources, and isolation.
Antarctica is a de facto condominium, governed by parties to the Antarctic Treaty System that have consulting status. The Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1959 by 12 countries; to date, 50 countries have signed the treaty. The treaty prohibits military activities and mineral mining, prohibits nuclear explosions and nuclear waste disposal, supports scientific research, and protects the continent's ecozone. Ongoing experiments are conducted by more than 4,000 scientists from many nations.
Twenty-five years after the World Wide Web was created, the issue of
surveillance has become the greatest controversy of its existence. With
many concerned that governments and corporations can monitor people's
every move, this programme meets hackers and scientists who are using
technology to fight back, as well as the law enforcement officers who
believe it's leading to opportunities for risk-free crimes.
The Hacker Wars brings you to the
front lines of the battle over the fate of the Internet,
freedom and privacy. The Hacker Wars talks about the anarchic
troll provocateur Andrew Aurenheimer, prodigy hacker hero Jeremy
Hammond, and incendiary watchdog journalist Barrett Brown three larger
than life characters whose separate quests to expose the secrets of
empire hurled them into a fateful collision course with shadowy
corporations, the FBI, and ultimate betrayal by one of their own.
Featuring
interviews with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald,
Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges, NSA whistleblower Thomas
Drake, The Hacker Wars traces the steps that led from the Internet’s
murkiest corners to the heavy shadow of censorship and a century’s worth
of prison time.
Internationally acclaimed Diractor Vivien
Lesnik Weisman melds her distinctively subversively bent style with the
real life stories of the cyberpunk vanguards who blur the line between
hacking and activism. Locked in a murky conflict against world
governments, these so-called hacktivists are waging a life-or-death
struggle for the freedom of public information and the defense of
privacy under siege.
Nanotech is the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of
nanotech referred to the particular technological goal of
precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale
products. A more
generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established
by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which defines nanotechnology
as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1
to 100 nanometers. The definition reflects the fact that quantum
mechanical effects are important at this quantum-realm scale, and so this
definition shifted from a particular technological goal to a research
category inclusive of all types of research. It is therefore common to see the plural form
"nanotechnologies" as well as "nanoscale technologies" to refer to the
broad range of research and applications whose common trait is size.
Because of the variety of potential applications governments have invested billions of dollars in
nanotechnology research. Through its National Nanotechnology Initiative,
the USA has invested 3.7 billion dollars. The European Union has
invested 1.2 billion and Japan 750 million dollars.
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. The Sun is a nearly perfect spherical ball of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. The diameter of the Sun is about 109 times that of Earth, and it has a mass about 330,000 times that of Earth, accounting for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. Chemically, about three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, whereas the rest is mostly helium, and much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon and iron.
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on spectral class and it is informally designated as a yellow dwarf. It formed approximately 4.567 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud. Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The central mass became increasingly hot and dense, eventually initiating thermonuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that almost all stars form by this process. The Sun is roughly middle age and has not changed dramatically for four billion years, and will remain fairly stable for four billion more. However, after hydrogen fusion in its core has stopped, the Sun will undergo severe changes and become a red giant. It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth.
Vikings (from Old Norse víkingr) were Germanic Norse seafarers, speaking the Old Norse language, who raided and traded from their Scandinavian homelands across wide areas of northern and central Europe, as well as European Russia, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries. The term is also commonly extended in modern English and other vernaculars to the inhabitants of Viking home communities during what has become known as the Viking Age. This period of Norse military, mercantile and demographic expansion constitutes an important element in the early medieval history of Scandinavia, the British Isles, France, Kievan Rus' and Sicily.
Facilitated by advanced seafaring skills, and characterised by the longship, Viking activities at times also extended into the Mediterranean littoral, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Following extended phases of (primarily sea- or river-borne) exploration, expansion and settlement, Viking (Norse) communities and polities were established in diverse areas of north-western Europe, European Russia, the North Atlantic islands and as far as the north-eastern coast of North America. This period of expansion witnessed the wider dissemination of Norse culture, while simultaneously introducing strong foreign cultural influences into Scandinavia itself, with profound developmental implications in both directions.
Popular, modern conceptions of the Vikings the term frequently applied casually to their modern descendants and the inhabitants of modern Scandinavia often strongly differ from the complex picture that emerges from archaeology and historical sources. A romanticised picture of Vikings as noble savages began to emerge in the 18th century; this developed and became widely propagated during the 19th-century Viking revival. Received views of the Vikings as alternatively violent, piratical heathens or as intrepid adventurers owe much to conflicting varieties of the modern Viking myth that had taken shape by the early 20th century. Current popular representations of the Vikings are typically based on cultural clichés and stereotypes, complicating modern appreciation of the Viking legacy.
The Dark Web is a term that refers specifically to a collection of
websites that are publicly visible, but hide the IP addresses of the
servers that run them. Thus they can be visited by any web user, but it
is very difficult to work out who is behind the sites. And you cannot
find these sites using search engines.
An Earth analog (also referred to as a Twin Earth, Earth Twin, Second
Earth, Alien Earth, Earth 2 or Earth-like planet) is another planet (or
world) with environmental conditions similar to those found on the
planet Earth.
The possibility is of particular interest to humans
as it is easily inferred that the more similar a planet is to Earth,
the more likely it is of sustaining Earth-like complex extraterrestrial
life and civilization. As such it has long been speculated and the
subject expressed in science, philosophy, science fiction and popular
culture. Advocates of space colonization have long sought an Earth
analog as a "second home" while advocates for space and survival would
regard such a planet as a potential "new home" for mankind.
Before
the scientific search for and study of extrasolar planets, the
possibility was argued through philosophy and science fiction. The
Mediocrity principle suggests that planets like the Earth should be
common in the universe, while the Rare Earth hypothesis suggests that
they are extremely rare. Philosophers have pointed out that the size of
the universe is such that a near identical planet must exist somewhere,
such theories include the philosophy of Multiverse and the Twin Earth
thought experiment.
Some scientific theories speculate that Earth
analogs may have existed in our Solar System in the past. In the
future, technology may be used by humans to artificially produce an
Earth analog. In theory, terraforming could potentially create such a
world. Multiverse theory suggests that an Earth analog could exist in
another universe or even be another version of the Earth itself in a
parallel universe.
On November 4, 2013, astronomers reported,
based on Kepler space mission data, that there could be as many as 40
billion Earth-sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of sun-like
stars and red dwarf stars within the Milky Way Galaxy.11 billion
of these estimated planets may be orbiting sun-like stars. The
nearest such planet may be 12 light-years away, according to the
scientists.
Recent scientific findings have greatly
influenced the scope of the fields of astrobiology, models of planetary
habitability and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. NASA and
the SETI Institute have proposed categorising the increasing number of
Earth-like planets found using a measure called the Earth Similarity
Index (ESI) based on mass, radius and temperature. According to
this measure, the planet currently thought to be most similar to Earth
is Gliese 667C c (0.85). Findings have led scientists to report
theories of billions of Earth-size planets within the Milky Way alone.
