by Stefan Stanford‚ All News Pipeline: There is a reason movies‚ TV shows‚ and books about cannibalism are always rated as horror or thriller‚ from “A Certain Hunger” to “Yellowjackets‚” to “Tender Is The Flesh‚” to “Raw” and many others‚ going back to 1973’s “Soylent Green.” That reason is because cannibalism is the practice of humans eating […]

from The National Pulse: A group of undecided South Carolina voters told Fox News they are supporting former President Donald Trump following a town hall interview in Greenville‚ SC‚ on Wednesday evening. Trump’s demonstration of leadership qualities particularly impressed the panelists. “Donald Trump‚ if I could summarize what he said in one word‚ it was […]

from SGT Report: I was invited on Dr. Dave Janda’s radio show Operation Freedom the other day and wanted to share our discussion with you. Janda titled it “Stop Living in Fear of the Cult’ and I concur. These demonic a-holes should be afraid of us and of the Great Awakening – and they are. […]

by Brandon Smith‚ Alt Market: In the late 1800s and early 1900s the western world experienced a sudden burst of open occultism among the ultra-rich elites. The rise of “Theosophy” was underway‚ becoming a kind of fashion trend that would ultimately set the stage for what would later be called “new age” spiritualism. The primary […]

188 years ago today‚ one of the foremost painters of 19th-century America‚ Winslow Homer‚ was born. Born in Boston to a father always seeking to pull off a get-rich-quick scheme‚ Homer was molded by his mother; a talented watercolor painter who taught him the basics. His most prolific period was when he moved to Maine […] The post Good News in History‚ February 24 appeared first on Good News Network.

Beyond the orbits of the eight planets in our Solar System‚ several distant objects make up the Kuiper Belt. The extent of this region has been estimated based on the discovery of such objects – but new observations are implying that it goes further out than previously thought.NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft visited the most famous Kuiper Belt Object (KBO)‚ the dwarf planet Pluto. It then flew by a small KBO called Arrokoth‚ and is now traveling across the belt. One of its instruments‚ the Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter (SDC)‚ measures levels of dust as the spacecraft travels.Named after the person that named Pluto‚ the SDC was expected to see a drop in the amount of dust it picked up. The dust comes from collisions between KBOs‚ asteroids‚ and comets‚ as well as KBOs' bombardment from interstellar dust. Observations from Earth consider the belt to extend to 50 times the distance between Earth and the Sun (or one Astronomical Unit‚ AU). But New Horizons is at 55 AU‚ and it is still going strong.The team's analysis suggests that the belt might go all the way to 80 AU or maybe even further‚ implying that KBOs might also extend further. If that is indeed the case‚ there are many undiscovered objects in the Kuiper Belt.“New Horizons is making the first direct measurements of interplanetary dust far beyond Neptune and Pluto‚ so every observation could lead to a discovery‚” lead author of the new study Alex Doner from the University of Colorado Boulder‚ who serves as SDC lead‚ said in a statement. “The idea that we might have detected an extended Kuiper Belt — with a whole new population of objects colliding and producing more dust – offers another clue in solving the mysteries of the solar system’s most distant regions.”         The team is not discounting alternatives – maybe the dust is being pushed by sunlight to more distant regions of the solar system‚ messing with the expected measurements. Or maybe New Horizons has encountered short-lived ice that is adding a temporary extra amount of dust when only little is present. It’s possible‚ but given the difficulties of finding KBOs‚ it's not surprising that we have not found a large population of them.“These new scientific results from New Horizons may be the first time that any spacecraft has discovered a new population of bodies in our solar system‚” said Alan Stern‚ New Horizons principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder. “I can’t wait to see how much farther out these elevated Kuiper Belt dust levels go.”The results are published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

In May 1945‚ Californian house painter Albert Stevens started his incredible run of bad luck‚ getting misdiagnosed with stomach cancer and being told he had six months to live.While a terrible thing to happen‚ his luck was going to get much worse. Across at the Manhattan Project the previous year‚ scientists had been getting concerned about handling plutonium and its effect on humans‚ recommending "a program to trace the course of plutonium in the body be initiated as soon as possible.” Unfortunately for Stevens‚ people on the project became aware of him and his (not real) terminal cancer while they were looking for patients for their first human trials. Stevens‚ designated patient CAL-1‚ received the highest radiation dose of anyone in the trials‚ a mixture of plutonium-239 (0.75 micrograms) and plutonium-238 (0.2 micrograms). Plutonium-238 was chosen because its higher activity made it easier to trace and analyze.     After a year of no new cancer‚ his doctors believed Stevens actually had a benign gastric ulcer‚ meaning that they had given an otherwise healthy man the highest accumulated dose of radiation that any human had ever received. In fact‚ it was many times the textbook fatal dose of plutonium.Stevens had not been properly informed of what had happened to him. If he had been told that he was to be injected with radiation‚ there's no evidence to suggest he gave his consent. As well as being unethical‚ the lack of information given to Stevens caused the doctors practical problems‚ when he wanted to move away from the area. In order to continue to monitor radiation levels in his body‚ the doctors decided to pay him $50 a month to stay in the area and continue providing stool samples.Remarkably‚ despite receiving 446 times the average lifetime exposure to plutonium‚ Stevens survived for another 21 years‚ dying of heart disease aged 79. Dr Joseph Hamilton‚ who experimented on Stevens‚ died aged 49‚ of leukemia likely brought on by radiation exposure during his work.
