Scientists use smartphones to improve dismal rating of nation's civil infrastructure
Date: February 11, 2019
Source: University of Missouri-Columbia
Summary:
In the United States, aging civil infrastructure systems are deteriorating on a massive scale. A recent report by the American Society of Civil Engineers gave these systems a D+ rating nationwide on an A -- F scale. Now scientists at the University of Missouri have developed smartphone-based technologies that can monitor civil infrastructure systems such as crumbing roads and aging bridges, potentially saving millions of lives.
Based on estimations, researchers say the failure of civil infrastructure systems, such as roads and bridges, could cause a 1 percent reduction in the U.S. GDP. In 2017, that number was $200 billion. The challenges of the aging civil infrastructure systems suggest the need for developing innovative monitoring solutions. By using various sensors on smartphones such as a gyroscope, an accelerometer to measure speed, and camera, or tiny external sensors such as an infrared sensor, scientists can determine the specific makeup and deterioration of a road's surface in real-time. However, scientists won't be collecting all of the data. Once the sensor is plugged into a smartphone, any person will be able to effortlessly transmit the data wirelessly to a database while riding on a road. Researchers hope the large amount of data collected by crowdsourcing this technology will allow for better informed decisions about the health of roads and bridges.
"Many of the existing methods to monitor our civil infrastructure systems have technical issues and are not user-centered," said Amir Alavi, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering in the MU College of Engineering, with a courtesy appointment in the Department of Biomedical, Biological and Chemical Engineering. "People are looking for smart, cost effective, scalable and user-centered approaches. With current advances in technology, people can help monitor or detect problems using their own devices, and smartphone technology allows us to do that with civil infrastructure."
Alavi partnered with Bill Buttlar, the Glen Barton Chair of Flexible Pavement Technology, to develop this innovative solution to monitor roads and bridges.
"Assessing roads, bridges and airfields with affordable sensors, such as those found in smartphones, really works," Buttlar said. "With a smartphone, we can stitch together many inexpensive measurements to accurately assess things like the roughness or deterioration of a road surface. In a recent project sponsored by the Missouri Department of Transportation, we also showed that it can accurately assess the condition of airport runways and taxiways."
The study, "An overview of smartphone technology for citizen-centered, real-time and scalable civil infrastructure monitoring," was published in Future Generation Computer Systems. Funding for this study was provided by the Missouri Department of Transportation.

.. creditors notice for 1 million Guilder fraud (is that real money?) .. Must be an old picture. The Dutch use the Euro. HAL I knew it!..I believe that was taken in the Netherlands Antilles in the caribbean where it is currently used...so that cat must have filed in a court of competent jursdiction in the Antilles proper..you know... the scammers were possibly using some shell corporation from right there..thats where all that money was prolly laundered to .That cat is on to something.. Just goes to show you HAL..you just never know..how or when a cat will strike next.
but did you know? $100 guilders is approximately $55.82 United States Dollars ...One thing for certain..1M Guilders means whoever that Purr is, is going straight for the jugular..God help Mars1..

Another Sys GroundBreaking Just Around the Corner Report
Major Extinction Event is Just Around The Corner
Something is Rounding Up the bugs
Now this is really serious when you consider that many Human populations, as well as birds and fish, use insects as a source of food.. It would not take long for everything to collapse afterwards

If the last report failed to tickle your fancyTry this Just around the Corner #3 With the creation of a new “mini-nuke” warhead, the US is making nuclear war all the more probable... Last month, the National Nuclear Security Administration (formerly the Atomic Energy Commission) announced that the first of a new generation of strategic nuclear weapons had rolled off the assembly line at its Pantex nuclear weapons plant in the panhandle of Texas. That warhead, the W76-2, is designed to be fitted to a submarine-launched Trident missile, a weapon with a range of more than 7,500 miles. By September, an undisclosed number of warheads will be delivered to the Navy for deployment. What makes this particular nuke new is the fact that it carries a far smaller destructive payload than the thermonuclear monsters the Trident has been hosting for decades - not the equivalent of about 100 kilotons of TNT as previously, but of five kilotons. According to Stephen Young of the Union of Concerned Scientists, the W76-2 will yield “only” about one-third of the devastating power of the weapon that the Enola Gay, an American B-29 bomber, dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Yet that very shrinkage of the power to devastate is precisely what makes this nuclear weapon potentially the most dangerous ever manufactured. Fulfilling the Trump administration’s quest for nuclear-war-fighting “flexibility,” it isn’t designed as a deterrent against another country launching its nukes; it’s designed to be used. This is the weapon that could make the previously “unthinkable” thinkable. There have long been “low-yield” nuclear weapons in the arsenals of the nuclear powers, including ones on cruise missiles, “air-drop bombs” (carried by planes), and even nuclear artillery shells — weapons designated as “tactical” and intended to be used in the confines of a specific battlefield or in a regional theater of war. The vast majority of them were, however, eliminated in the nuclear arms reductions that followed the end of the Cold War, a scaling-down by both the United States and Russia that would be quietly greeted with relief by battlefield commanders, those actually responsible for the potential use of such ordnance who understood its self-destructive absurdity. Ranking some weapons as “low-yield” based on their destructive energy always depended on a distinction that reality made meaningless (once damage from radioactivity and atmospheric fallout was taken into account along with the unlikelihood that only one such weapon would be used). In fact, the elimination of tactical nukes represented a hard-boiled confrontation with the iron law of escalation, another commander’s insight — that any use of such a weapon against a similarly armed adversary would likely ignite an inevitable chain of nuclear escalation whose end point was barely imaginable. One side was never going to take a hit without responding in kind, launching a process that could rapidly spiral toward an apocalyptic exchange. “Limited nuclear war,” in other words, was a fool’s fantasy and gradually came to be universally acknowledged as such. No longer, unfortunately. Unlike tactical weapons, intercontinental strategic nukes were designed to directly target the far-off homeland of an enemy. Until now, their extreme destructive power (so many times greater than that inflicted on Hiroshima) made it impossible to imagine genuine scenarios for their use that would be practically, not to mention morally, acceptable. It was exactly to remove that practical inhibition — the moral one seemed not to count — that the Trump administration recently began the process of withdrawing from the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, while rolling a new “limited” weapon off the assembly line and so altering the Trident system. With these acts, there can be little question that humanity is entering a perilous second nuclear age. That peril lies in the way a 70-year-old inhibition that undoubtedly saved the planet is potentially being shelved in a new world of supposedly “usable” nukes. Of course, a weapon with one-third the destructive power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, where as many as 150,000 died, might kill 50,000 people in a similar attack before escalation even began. Of such nukes, former Secretary of State George Shultz, who was at President Ronald Reagan’s elbow when Cold War-ending arms control negotiations climaxed, said, “A nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon. You use a small one, then you go to a bigger one. I think nuclear weapons are nuclear weapons and we need to draw the line there.” HOW CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT? Until now, it’s been an anomaly of the nuclear age that some of the fiercest critics of such weaponry were drawn from among the very people who created it. The emblem of that is the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, a bimonthly journal founded after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by veteran scientists from the Manhattan Project, which created the first nuclear weapons. (Today, that magazine’s sponsors include 14 Nobel Laureates.) Beginning in 1947, the Bulletin’s cover has functioned annually as a kind of nuclear alarm, featuring a so-called Doomsday Clock, its minute hand always approaching “midnight” (defined as the moment of nuclear catastrophe). In that first year, the hand was positioned at seven minutes to midnight. In 1949, after the Soviet Union acquired its first atomic bomb, it inched up to three minutes before midnight. Over the years, it has been reset every January to register waxing and waning levels of nuclear jeopardy. In 1991, after the end of the Cold War, it was set back to 17 minutes and then, for a few hope-filled years, the clock disappeared altogether. It came back in 2005 at seven minutes to midnight. In 2007, the scientists began factoring climate degradation into the assessment and the hands moved inexorably forward. By 2018, after a year of Donald Trump, it clocked in at two minutes to midnight, a shrill alarm meant to signal a return to the greatest peril ever: the two-minute level reached only once before, 65 years earlier. Last month, within days of the announced manufacture of the first W76-2, theBulletin’scover for 2019 was unveiled, still at that desperate two-minute mark, aka the edge of doom.

The US Air Force Has Won Control of the Space Force
By Marcus Weisgerber February 12, 2019
Six months ago, service leaders said they were being cut out of the planning process. Now they’re being put in charge of it.
Detailed planning for the proposed Space Force is expected to be handed over soon to the U.S. Air Force, a sign that Pentagon leaders — many of whom opposed the notion of consolidating military space operations in a new organization — have found a version that they can support.
In coming weeks, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan is expected to sign a memo asking Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson to stand up a team that will figure out the bureaucratic nuts and bolts of the new space organization, according to a draft of the memo being circulated by top administration and military officials.
A spokesman for Shanahan, who is traveling in the Middle East, was not immediately available for comment.
The move brings the Air Force somewhat full circle on the new outfit. Last March, President Trump called rather vaguely for a “Space Force,” surprising Pentagon and service officials, many of whom had opposed more fleshed-out versions of the idea. In particular, leaders of the Air Force — which handles the majority of U.S. military space operations — evinced concern that those functions might be split off into a completely separate service branch.
Planning for the new outfit was largely handled by Shanahan and a small team in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. By July, Air Force leaders were complaining that they were being shut out of the process. In September, Wilson sent an unsolicited memo to Shanahan in which she predicted that a fully independent space force that included the satellite-making National Reconnaissance Office would cost $13 billion.
The friction gave rise to reports in October that Wilson would be asked to step down. Shanahan responded by telling Space News, “I rely on Secretary Wilson’s advice and counsel” and “greatly appreciate” her “leadership, commitment, and vision.” Still, later that month, Pentagon planners drafted an early plan for a separate branch.
But then something unexpected happened: the National Security Council asked Pentagon leaders whether the new outfit would be better positioned within the Air Force — a proposal much more to the service’s liking. The idea of moving the NRO to the new Space Force was dropped, perhaps as a nod to the Congressional turf battle that might have erupted if an agency overseen by the intelligence committees were shifted to the purview of the armed services committees. And a late-January draft of the Pentagon’s legislative proposal — that is, the legislation that the Trump administration hopes Congress will sign to create the new unit — calls for a Space Force within the Department of the Air Force, as the Marine Corps is within the Navy Department.
The final version of that proposal is expected to go to lawmakers as soon as Feb. 25, in advance of the White House’s 2020 budget request, which is expected on Capitol Hill in mid-March. A separate space policy directive being prepped for Trump’s signature, known as SPD-4, also describes the Space Force as being part of the Air Force.
Under the proposal, Wilson would oversee the Space Force, just as Navy Secretary Richard Spencer oversees the Marine Corps. The proposal also calls for creating a Space Force undersecretary below Wilson, along with two four-star billets: a chief of staff who would be a member of the Joint Chiefs, and a vice chief of staff.
Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joe Dunford were also said to share Wilson’s reluctance to create a full separate service. But in the past few months, several defense and administration officials acknowledged a larger embracing of the issues, largely because the proposal limits the creation of new bureaucracy. The officials all spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly discuss the Space Force proposal, which still hasn’t been completely finalized.
“This is the ‘Department of Get Stuff Done’,” Shanahan said during the Jan. 17 release of the administration’s Missile Defense Review as Trump stood just off stage right. The acting secretary called the Space Force part of the missile defense mission. The following week, Shanahan said he would be working on the Space Force planning with Wilson and Mike Griffin, the defense undersecretary for research and engineering who is leading the effort to create a Space Development Agency to oversee the Pentagon’s new satellite projects.
The cost of the Space Force remains unclear clear, although the draft legislative proposal calls for $363 million over the next five years, or about $72.5 million per year for the headquarters. On Monday, Space News reported that the total cost for the Space Force headquarters, Space Development Agency and U.S. Space Command, a new warfighting command, would cost $270 million in fiscal 2020.
The main remaining question is whether lawmakers will back the proposal — and opposition appears to be softening. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, told Politico that the Pentagon’s Space Force proposal is “probably a good template to work off of, and then the devil is in the details. I believe that space needs to be emphasized.”

@wings....That spaceforce dept is like having eaten hotdogs for 2 decades and deciding what kind of wrapper to put the rest in before selling them..to the unwashed masses Gary Mckinnon
"He was the Scottish hacker that penetrated the computers at NASA and the Johnson Space Center.
"He wasn't trying to do any harm but wanted to know more about UFOs and what the USA knew about them.
"What he found far exceeded anything he was expecting. He found evidence of a secret space fleet that had been in existence since the 1980s.
"It is said that the USA has at least eight tubular motherships and nearly fifty smaller ones.
"What really blew him away was a list of non-terrestrial officers and ship to ship transfers.
"If you believe this then you have to ask where this secret space fleet is based.
"Where better than Area 51 and Nellis Air Force Base.
"This is just a theory of mine and I cannot prove it but based on everything I have seen and filmed over a nearly three-year period it is the only thing that makes sense."

Breaking News Just Around The Corner #4 Stonhenge..The French Just Happened to Be Around The Corner www.rt.com/uk/451360-stonehenge-mystery-french-huntergatherer-sailor/Was Stonehenge created by French sailors? New study suggests long-running mystery could be solved The mystery of Stonehenge may be solved, thanks to a new study that reveals the iconic rock structure may have originated from a single hunter gatherer society in France 7000 years ago. The iconic prehistoric rock structure in Wiltshire, England has been baffling the world for generations as people struggle to figure out how the massive rock formations appeared in the UK. A new study suggests the impressive ring of stones was created thanks to a hunter gatherer society in Brittany in northwest France, which first starting building the impressive structures and monuments 7,000 years ago. These societies then spread their megalith building culture via sea routes around Europe over the next 1,000 years. The research reveals the people of that time had far more advanced maritime skills than previously known. Originally, anthropologists believed the megaliths originated in the Mediterranean or the Near East. More recent theories say they were first invented in six different places around Europe and were independent from each other. Last year, a study suggested the Stonehenge stones came from Wales, as did the people who may have built it. Study author Bettina Schulz Paulsson of the University of Gothenburg spent 10 years studying over 2410 historic sites around Europe to create a “megalith evolution.” She used radiocarbon dating on human remains buried at the sites to create the archaeological timeline. “Everyone told me, ‘You’re crazy, it can’t be done,’” Schulz Paulsson told Science magazine. “But I decided to do it anyway.” READ MORE: Awkward: ‘Ancient’ Scottish stone circle is actually replica from the 90s The results were published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “This demonstrates absolutely that Brittany is the origin of the European megalithic phenomenon,” Stonehenge specialist Michael Parker Pearson told Science magazine. Incredible! but in a strange way it makes purrfect sense that this was brought in from abroad. The locals simply did not have the capabilities.

Coeur d'Alene Press NEPHILIM GIANTS ONCE WALKED THE EARTH — HISTORY OR HOAX? HISTORY CORNER
October 30, 2016 | By SYD ALBRIGHT/Special to The Press
Talk of giants once roaming Earth is bound to foment passionate discussion between those who believe it and those who think it’s a fairytale. The debate starts with the Bible stating in Genesis 6:4: “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also afterwards, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.”
Those “giants” were Nephilim — fallen angels — their existence supported by many other Bible passages. Some say Goliath was one of their descendants.
The ancient Jewish historian Josephus wrote that when the Israelites moved their camp to Hebron, they encountered “the race of giants, who had bodies so large, and countenances so entirely different from other men, that they were surprising to the sight, and terrible to the hearing.”
Throughout recorded history, there have been legends about giants among cultures worldwide, including Japan, Indonesia, Australian Aborigines, India, Islam, Greece, Rome, Britain, Norse and other European countries, as well as the U.S. — especially among Native Americans.
Fast-forward to modern times:
Archeological evidence of giants however is still a subject of spirited debate among scientists, theologians and others.
Countless newspaper articles in the 1800s and early 1900s tell of human skeletons being found throughout the world — some even in Idaho. Tallest reported was 36 feet.
And curiously among many of those reports is the recurring claim that the giant skeletons were sent to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., and mysteriously disappeared.
Why isn’t the public demanding that the Smithsonian put those artifacts on display? And what about all those newspaper reports?
National Geographic News debunks that there ever were giants the sizes reported and shifts the discussion to gigantism, which they correctly say “is extremely rare, today affecting about three people in a million worldwide. The condition begins in childhood, when a malfunctioning pituitary gland causes abnormal growth.”
Typical of early reports was an 1871 story in the Toronto Daily Telegraph that said, “Rev. Nathaniel Wardell, Messers Orin Wardell (of Toronto), and Daniel Fredenburg were digging on the farm of the latter gentleman, which is on the banks of the Grand River, in the township of Cayuga.
“When they got to five or six feet below the surface, a strange sight met them. Piled in layers, one upon top of the other, were some two hundred skeletons of human beings nearly perfect…men of gigantic stature, some of them measuring nine feet, very few of them being less than seven feet.”
In Atlanta, Ga., “The Banner” on May 6, 1884, told of Smithsonian scientists finding giant skeletons in an Indian burial mound: “The stones were removed, when in a kind of vault beneath them, the skeleton of a giant, who measured seven feet two inches, was found.”
The article further noted, “All the relics were carefully packed and sent to the Smithsonian Institution, and are said to be the most interesting collection ever found in America.”
A story with a Boise dateline appeared in the Newport Miner on March 17, 1910, headlined “Prehistoric Bones Found.” The article said, “Unmoved, untouched and unseen for hundreds of years and hidden in the recesses of a deep cave 25 miles north of Shoshone, Lincoln County in Southern Idaho is the skeletons (sic) of a giant, ten feet tall evidently of prehistoric origin.
“It was recently discovered by a hunting party from this city. Corroborated proof the members are now exhibiting the rusty worn flint lock barrel of what appears to be an ancient gun weighing between 25 (and) 30 pounds resembling a rifle….beside the skeleton.
“These bones will be taken out of the cave at the earliest possible date and carefully forwarded to the Smithsonian Institute.”
The New York Times on March 17, 1924, published a story from Lewiston, “A huge skeleton, believed to be that of a prehistoric human being has been discovered in Salmon River Country by two members of the State Highway Dept., who brought their find to the City.
“Belief that the person was of an herbivorous race was expressed owing to the peculiar formation of the jaws and teeth. Both the upper and lower jaws each had only ten teeth, all of which were intact.” Physicians said the skeleton was a woman more than 8 feet tall, and the bones also supposedly sent to the Smithsonian for study.
Though there are plenty of newspaper reports of finding giant human skeletons, Time Magazine wrote in 1994 that “Yet despite more than a century of digging, the fossil record remains maddeningly sparse. With so few clues, even a single bone that doesn’t fit into the picture can upset everything. Virtually every major discovery has put deep cracks in the conventional wisdom and forced scientists to concoct new theories, amid furious debate.”
A common claim among many of the stories is that the artifacts were shipped off to the Smithsonian, sometimes accused of destroying them. Smithsonian denies all of this, and scholars seem to be divided on the issue.
Why would the Smithsonian destroy such spectacular artifacts — if they did in fact receive them? And why aren’t they on display? Where are they? Why doesn’t the Smithsonian want to talk about it?
Could the Smithsonian have re-classified donated bones as animal fossils?
The answers to those questions pits Darwinian evolutionist against creationists, and provides a hot topic for conspiracy theorists, while movie-goers will remember the final scene of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), when the Ark of the Covenant disappears into a mammoth Smithsonian storage facility — never to be seen again.
One Nevada report said, “The Smithsonian Institute are very keen to hide many discoveries, as it would mean all the books would have to be rewritten and they are very much aware of this — it would also mean academia had it wrong…and they refuse to simply acknowledge that the nature of archaeology is such that as we make new discoveries we need to update with reference to new findings.”
Researcher, author and lecturer L.A. Marzulli — whose writings about giants are outside of mainstream academic thinking and no doubt has his detractors — visited UCLA to examine ancient skeletal remains. “I wasn’t looking for Native Americans. I was looking for an unknown race of beings and perhaps, according to my theory the remains of the Nephilim, who I believed migrated here from the Levant thousands of years ago to escape being destroyed by the armies of Joshua and Israel.”
National Geographic has also been defending itself over the giants for a long time, in 2007 declaring:
“The National Geographic Society has not discovered ancient giant humans, despite rampant reports and pictures…A digitally altered photograph created in 2002 shows a reclining giant surrounded by a wooden platform — with a shovel-wielding archaeologist thrown in for scale. By 2004, the ‘discovery’ was being blogged and emailed all over the world — ‘Giant Skeleton Unearthed!’—and it’s been enjoying a revival.”
Dr. Greg Little, another noted researcher and author on the subject chides the Smithsonian’s stance on the issue of giants, writing in 2014 in “AP Magazine,”
“I don’t see the Smithsonian as being in a conspiracy in the true definition of the word. I see it as a sort of stupidity in the sense that they have ignored an aspect of their own findings that the public sees as intriguing.
“Instead of engaging the public, they alienate it. I also see that American archaeology resents all outsiders, resists all beliefs that go against their beliefs, and they utilize skeptics as a sort of police force to silence critics and others. From a psychological standpoint, they are doing battle with their own shadow. It is a battle that can’t be won.”
The claim of giants once roaming the Earth cannot be easily rejected — in addition to bones, and artifacts such as tools so large that only a powerful giant man could use them, there are too many oral traditions around the world that talk about them.
And the Bible says the giants were here.
Skeptics and believers will no doubt continue to debate the Nephilim story for a very long time — and that’s a good thing.

Here at UCB we made predictions how photoshop and CGI would change everything..its a good thing we had the drone debates..because it prepared both camps for future surprises..we never gave it much thought how fabricated narratives and pictures affect us in other ways such as distortions, disinformation, misinformation that propel us into life and death decisions..such as domestic and foreign policy..yet all these rely on three things..time..and short attention spans, and a crossing of fingers by the perps that if we do look back..we dont look too deeply..those conditions met a lie can go on forever...we see how ms news act as organs for the deep state..all have production studios..actors..and a mission. Like the infamous white helmets..and even more recently...the Venezuelan affair. Of all the pics promoting this coup the following takes the cake.. Here is the Coups self appointed leader I'll call Guido..showing off supplies , pre natal vitamins, to reach the starving masses..although the red cross has been doing that for some time with real food..under harsh US sanctions....whilst claiming he is being blocked by the Cruel government of Maduro.
I died when I saw this photo as even an untrained eye can see something is not right..look between Guidos Legs..Thats not an artifact..its what I call an artyfake..
US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido standing with humanitarian cargo from an unknown external source. via Guaido's official Twitter account
You decide..its worth supporting a staged op like this..But this is just one of many frauds and bogus narratives foisted on all of us..to support military interventionism and regime change. The PTB had a good run until the internet caught up with them..

www.rt.com/news/451264-mars-one-project-space-exploration/Mars One dreams plummet back to Earth as company goes bankrupt
News of the company’s demise was only revealed thanks to a Reddit user who found a court notice from Basel, Switzerland which said it was declared bankrupt on January 15, 2019. The group said it had 200,000 willing participants, but this was disputed by former NASA researcher Joseph Roche, who had volunteered for the project and said the real number was 2,761. He also said the selection process had a points system which could be increased by buying merchandise or donating money to the company. Surprise, surprise: Mars One now is mars none. t.co/xkx3nmbz9e — John R. Hutchinson (@johnrhutchinson) February 12, 2019 This is the hottest take on the whole Mars One going bankrupt thing. pic.twitter.com/R9CztCuw2d — Steven Simeone (@rockpapersteven) February 12, 2019 Mars One made documentary videos about their red planet volunteers, which were sold on to broadcasters and buyers, and had planned to bring the intrepid colonizers to “a desert location to test their team skills” before setting off for Mars in 2026. The project consists of Dutch non-profit Mars One Foundation and the for-profit Mars One Ventures, acquired by a Swiss financial services company in 2016. t.co/Kh3qItAnhdIn July, the company reported it had an investment from Phoenix Enterprises for up to $14 million that was meant to be used to pay for licensing fees and re-list Mars One Ventures on the stock exchange. The project has been panned for not being realistic at all as an effort to colonize the red planet. Among its critics are MIT researchers, who said the plan would simply kill off all the Mars settlers. developing..
Rumours are Rampant that a Cat was seen leaving the Dutch Bankruptcy claims court after filing a creditors notice for 1 million Guilder fraud (is that real money?) ..and as only the Dutch would have it..First of its kind on Earth.
Tenacious investigators traced the mysterious feline to a UFO forum where it disappeared into a motley crowd of cats, dogs, amateur astronomers, ufo boffins, climate activists, and gun owners who refused to comment. We don't knows nuffin'..We takes care of our own here.. said one member off the record.
Aahh EmbassyKat I fervently believe 'nuffin' would have happened to be my middle name if only my dimwit parents had thought of giving this here fiiine kitten both a first & last name! That said, it goes without sayin' that foul eyed pussy (there: it had to be said, with all due respect to all you me#too-critters) wearing its Purr-disguise is A DESPICABLE IMPOSTOR. Devil in the details as usual. Note the staring eyes attempting to distract the less discerning viewer from their obvious BABY ELEPHANT body. Also that 'cat' don't hunt because it has no Nose (only a Note indicative of this Purrsurper having zero talent for either Numbers of contemporary Finance, the only thing this contemptible example of Fake Animals managed to hit on the nail is the nr. of Mars which ...duh.. indeed equals/ USED TO EQUAL 1!). Gawd I just swallowed a hairball [calming myself] but switching to a more cational frame of mind, one might (helped by perfect hindsight) consider any enterprise merchandising and donating their way to a whole other planet at least questionable? MIT researchers (and they did catch on early it seems) are my favorite, I love them, they always make me purrr (don't get me started....!!)....
Brilliant MIT researcher showing how it's done. By the way I love rabbits too, they are so tasty!
out like a light & dreaming of martian rabbits purr
