The The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a report showing “Global temperature reaches record high in September”.
Global Highlights
The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for September 2014 was the highest on record for September, at 0.72°C (1.30°F) above the 20th century average of 15.0°C (59.0°F).
The global land surface temperature was 0.89°C (1.60°F) above the 20th century average of 12.0°C (53.6°F), the sixth highest for September on record. For the ocean, the September global sea surface temperature was 0.66°C (1.19°F) above the 20th century average of 16.2°C (61.1°F), the highest on record for September and also the highest on record for any month.
The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for the January–September period (year-to-date) was 0.68°C (1.22°F) above the 20th century average of 14.1°C (57.5°F), tying with 1998 as the warmest such period on record.
Inquiry: If you feel like your different than other people, you gotta check out these soul groups. This stuff is getting So cool. Look up empaths, twin flames, ascension, etc. I had no idea this many people like me actually exist. Reunite with your crew.
Response: If they offer you some insight; however, most dispel more inaccuracies than truth. Check out some Ludwig Wittgenstein. He basically says we don’t have the language to talk about these things… and to try to just makes you a fool, such as, the person that says “God is love”. As a matter of fact, you can’t say “God is” anything without being a fool… nor can you say a spirit is something. Why? Because they don’t “exist”, and you can not change the meaning of exist to suit your needs.
Nuclear fusion offers the most hope at rectifying human induced climate change. Nuclear fusion is how the sun works.
In a press release, Lockheed Martin states a breakthrough:
The Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] Skunk Works® team is working on a new compact fusion reactor (CFR) that can be developed and deployed in as little as ten years. Currently, there are several patents pending that cover their approach.
While fusion itself is not new, the Skunk Works has built on more than 60 years of fusion research and investment to develop an approach that offers a significant reduction in size compared to mainstream efforts.
“Our compact fusion concept combines several alternative magnetic confinement approaches, taking the best parts of each, and offers a 90 percent size reduction over previous concepts,” said Tom McGuire, compact fusion lead for the Skunk Works’ Revolutionary Technology Programs. “The smaller size will allow us to design, build and test the CFR in less than a year.”
After completing several of these design-build-test cycles, the team anticipates being able to produce a prototype in five years. As they gain confidence and progress technically with each experiment, they will also be searching for partners to help further the technology.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 113,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation’s net sales for 2013 were $45.4 billion.
“We can make a big difference on the energy front,” lead researcher McGuire said, noting Lockheed’s 60 years of research on nuclear fusion as a potential energy source that is safer and more efficient than current reactors based on nuclear fission.
There’s a lesson that I need to remember
When everything is falling apart
In life, just like in loving
There’s such a thing as trying to hard
You’ve gotta sing
Like you don’t need the money
Love like you’ll never get hurt
You’ve gotta dance
Like nobody’s watching
It’s gotta come from the heart
If you want it to work.

Richard was born in 1452 at Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire
His coronation took place in Westminster Abbey in 1483
Richard had one of the shortest reigns in British history – 26 months
He was the last English king to die in battle, killed at Bosworth in 1485
King Richard III was probably killed by two blows to the head during a “sustained attack”, according to new scientific research. Forensic teams studied the skeleton to determine the nature of the injuries and weapons that were used.
The English king was killed at the Battle of Bosworth on 22 August, 1485.
Forensic teams at the University of Leicester have now revealed he suffered at least 11 injuries, some possibly inflicted after death.
CT scans were used on his 500-year-old skeleton to help determine his injuries and the medieval weapons used.
His remains were found under a car park in Leicester in 2012.
The results of forensic analysis, published in The Lancet, show he had nine wounds to the skull and two to the postcranial skeleton.
Researchers said three of these “had the potential to cause death quickly”.
Wounds To The Head
Sarah Hainsworth, study author and professor of materials engineering, said: “Richard’s injuries represent a sustained attack or an attack by several assailants with weapons from the later medieval period.
“Wounds to the skull suggest he was not wearing a helmet, and the absence of defensive wounds on his arms and hands indicate he was still armoured at the time of his death.”
Guy Rutty, from the East Midlands pathology unit, said the two fatal injuries to the skull were likely to have been caused by a sword, a staff weapon such as halberd or bill, or the tip of an edged weapon.
He said: “Richard’s head injuries are consistent with some near-contemporary accounts of the battle, which suggest Richard abandoned his horse after it became stuck in a mire and was killed while fighting his enemies.”
Investigators said they believed damage to the pelvis was caused by a thin dagger stabbed into the buttocks. While this injury could in theory have caused fatal bleeding, it was unlikely to have been the cause of death as Richard’s armour would have protected this part of the body.
They suggested this wound, along with another to a rib, was likely to have been inflicted after death, possibly when the body was slung over a horse.
Researchers said there could have been more wounds to soft tissue which left no trace on the skeleton.
King Richard’s skeleton is due to be reinterred at Leicester Cathedral in March.
The world’s largest dinosaur has been discovered. The creature Argentina lived about 77 million years ago. Though it is huge, about two stories high, it is believed to have been an immature specimen still in it’s growth stage.
“We thought it was time a plant-eating dinosaur got a badass name,” said Matt Lamanna, Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
“We decided on Dreadnoughtus (meaning *fearer of nothing*) because when you’re as big as this thing was, you’re probably not afraid of too much,” said researcher Matt Lamanna of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
