In the beginning information traveled slow, knowledge was confined to a few buildings around the globe that are guarded by high entry fees and standardized test scores. The number of individuals who could gain access to information was kept to a short acceptance list while many were given an Access Denied.

[Dossier] L'art, un nouveau secteur prometteur pour les startups? La vente d’art représente un volume global de 43 milliards d’euros en 2012.

Un nouveau marché pour de nouveaux clients appuyés par le constat des galeristes qui déclarent que la majorité de leurs clients en ligne sont des nouveaux clients.

www.secretsofthefed.com/astronomers-find-earth-2/ The nearest single Sun-like star to the Earth hosts five planets – one of which is in the “habitable zone” where liquid water can exist, astronomers say. Tau Ceti’s planetary quintet – reported in an online paper that will appear in Astronomy and Astrophysics – was found in existing planet-hunting data. The study’s refined methods of sifting through data should help find even more far-flung worlds. The star now joins Alpha Centauri as a nearby star known to host planets. In both those cases, the planets were found not by spying them through a telescope but rather by measuring the subtle effects they have on their host stars’ light. An exoplanet is a planet that exists outside our Solar SystemMost are giant planets believed to resemble Jupiter or NeptuneThe first exoplanet was discovered in 1992, orbiting a pulsarA few years later, the planet 51 Pegasi B was found orbiting a star similar to the SunHundreds of extrasolar planets have been found since Comments comments

MH370 flight registration and radar anomalies: cause for concern? MH370 flight registration and radar anomalies: Are they cause for concern or is it all just coincidence and software glitches? MH370 is still missing and the Malaysian flight continues to stir up speculation, conspiracy theories and the downright absurd like CNN discussing the possibility that the plane, carrying 239 people was sucked in to a black hole. However I did notice a change in the plane’s registration and whether there is any significance to this, I really have no idea. It has been suggested that MH370 could be used in some sort of terrorist attack (assuming it hasn’t crashed into the ocean) could this be why the change in the registration IF the plane was used in such away and to add to the confusion and disinformation going around? I have absolutely no idea and I am in no way qualified to put forward any sort of theory, I’m just providing the information and links as a matter of record and because like many other people, curious as hell.
