Medical researchers have made a shocking historical anatomical discovery by finding a new organ located at the center of the human head that has been lurking there all along .
The finding was reported in Radiotherapy and Oncology .
Researchers discovered the organ by accident thanks to doctors in the Netherlands , who were examining 100 patients for prostate cancer while performing an advanced type of scan called PSMA PET/CT .
This diagnostic process when paired with injections of radioactive glucose highlights tumors in the body .
However , in this case , the researchers found something else entirely , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The nasopharynx functions as an airway in the respiratory system .
Also contained within the nasopharynx are the adenoids , or pharyngeal tonsils .
The new organ looks to be a mysterious set of salivary glands that have been hidden inside the human head .
How this was discovered in 2020 , missed for centuries is unknown , but until now , the human body has had three major salivary glands — parotid , submandibular , and sublingual glands .

This diagnostic process when paired with injections of radioactive glucose highlights tumors in the body.
However, in this case, the researchers found something else entirely, nestled in the rear of the nasopharynx. The nasopharynx functions as an airway in the respiratory system. Also contained within the nasopharynx are the adenoids, or pharyngeal tonsils.
The new organ looks to be a mysterious set of salivary glands that have been hidden inside the human head. How this was discovered in 2020, missed for centuries is unknown, but until now, the human body has had three major salivary glands — parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands.
“People have three sets of large salivary glands, but not there,” explains radiation oncologist Wouter Vogel from the Netherlands Cancer Institute. “As far as we knew, the only salivary or mucous glands in the nasopharynx are microscopically small, and up to 1,000 are evenly spread out throughout the mucosa. So, imagine our surprise when we found these.”
Now, we can add a fourth located behind the nose and above the palate, close to the center of the human head.
“The two new areas that lit up turned out to have other characteristics of salivary glands as well,” said one of the first author of the study, oral surgeon Matthijs Valstar from the University of Amsterdam.
“We call them tubarial glands, referring to their anatomical location [above the torus tubarius].”
These tubarial glands were seen to exist in the PSMA PET/CT scans of all the 100 patients, revealing visible draining duct openings towards the nasopharyngeal wall.
“To our knowledge, this structure did not fit prior anatomical descriptions,” the researchers explained in their paper.
It’s worth noting that there are an additional approximately 1,000 minor salivary glands situated throughout the oral cavity and the digestive tract. Although, these are not seen without a microscope according to Scientific Alert.
The researchers suggest the organ is found at a poorly accessible anatomical location under the skull base, which explains why it has been missed all of these centuries. The medical professionals note that it’s possible they may have noticed the duct openings, but it’s unlikely they would have realized the structures were apart of a larger gland system. But thanks to newer technology allowing advanced PSMA-PET/CT imaging techniques, seeing the macroscopical organ was possible.
The study needs to be replicated and validated. However, pathologist said that the team may be on to something and if its real it could change the way we view diseases in that region of the skull.
“It seems like they may be onto something,” pathologist Valerie Fitzhugh from Rutgers University, who wasn’t involved with the study, told The New York Times.
“If it’s real, it could change the way we look at disease in this region.”

themindunleashed--2020-10-22--Pamela Anderson Says President Donald Trump Should Pardon Julian Assange

The widely-anticipated 2016 deposition by Ghislaine Maxwell , the accused sex-trafficker and ex-girlfriend of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein , was unsealed on Thursday by a New York court .
However , rather than revealing a desperate figure admitting to her crimes , the recording of the deposition showed Maxwell strictly abiding by the code of silence – offering only denials and evasions of her role in the storm of scandal surrounding the disgraced pedophile .
The deposition was one of about a dozen files revealed from the four-year old portfolio related to Epstein accuser and former “ sex slave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2015 civil lawsuit against Maxwell .
In the unsealed documents , the 58-year-old Maxwell consistently rejects the accusation that she helped Epstein recruit , groom and sexually abuse dozens of teen girls and young women .
Asked over 10 times in a row if she had any knowledge of Epstein ’ s abuse of minors , Maxwell failed to answer .
She also avoided details about and sought to play down and distance herself from any links between the disgraced financier and former President Bill Clinton , who is known to have used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ herself met Clinton for an “ intimate dinner ” in 2014 , according to a recent report .
Maxwell avoided going into specifics on Epstein and Clinton ’ s relationship , but adamantly denied that she was present during any alleged meeting between the two on Epstein ’ s home in the Virgin Islands .
“ Again , Virginia is absolutely totally lying , ” she said .
“ This is a subject of defamation about Virginia and the lies she has told and one of lies she told was that President Clinton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ present .
Absolutely 1,000 % that is a flat-out total fabrication and lie.
” “ You did fly on planes , Jeffrey Epstein ’ s planes with President Clinton , is that correct ?
” the lawyer asked , to which Maxwell responded vaguely , “ I have flown , yes.
” “ Would it be fair to say that President Clinton and Jeffrey are friends ?
” a lawyer asked .
“ I wouldn ’ t be able to characterize it like that , no , ” Maxwell said .
“ He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
” the lawyer continued .
When asked if she helped introduce Britain ’ s Prince Andrew to sex partners who were legally minors , she denied the accusation .
She also could not recall going out with Andrew and Giuffre for a night of clubbing in London , she maintained .
Giuffre ’ s attorney , Sigrid McCawley , also grilled Maxwell about allegations that Epstein had performed financial work for the Israeli government , or for intelligence agencies such as the CIA or FBI .
“ Do you know if Jeffrey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government either working for the CIA or the FBI in his lifetime ?
” McCawley asked .
“ I have no knowledge of that , ” Maxwell responded .
“ Do you know if Jeffrey Epstein has any friends that are in the CIA or FBI ?
” he asked again .
“ I have no idea , ” she responded .
“ Are you aware that Jeffrey Epstein has told people that he worked for the government to recover stolen funds ?
” McCawley asked .
“ Does Jeffrey Epstein have any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McCawley asked , spurring Maxwell to respond that she had no such recollection .
At another point , Maxwell – who had been accused of gagging and raping a victim with a sex toy – avoided any straightforward answer about a laundry basket filled with sex toys at Epstein ’ s Palm Beach home , asking that the questioning lawyer “ define what you are talking about.
” “ A sex toy meaning a vibrator of some kind , sometimes they are called dildos , of that nature , anything like that ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t recollect anything that would formally be a dildo , anything like that , ” she responded .
Maxwell said that she did not invite minors to Epstein ’ s homes unless they were the children of friends in a social scenario , but tripped herself up when asked if she “ brought ” the 17-year-old Giuffre to his home .
“ Virginia Roberts [ Giuffre ’ s maiden name ] held herself out as a masseuse and invited herself to come and give a massage , ” Maxwell said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the form and as my job , I was to have people who he wanted for various things including massage .
She came as a masseuse.
” Maxwell was also asked if she was Epstein ’ s girlfriend following their initial encounters in 1991 , to which she responded that it was a “ tricky question.
” “ There were times when I would have liked to think of myself as his girlfriend , ” she vaguely said .
Maxwell then explained that Epstein enjoyed at least one massage per day , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call to perform them .
When asked if the word “ massage ” was a code word meaning sex , she said that they involved “ private adult sexual relationships.
” Maxwell angrily denied seeing Epstein have sex with anyone grew outraged over the suggestion that she had three-way sex with Epstein and Giuffre .
“ She is an absolute total liar and you all know she lied on multiple things and that is just one other disgusting thing she added , ” Maxwell said at the time .
At one point , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and knocked the court reporter ’ s work station from a conference room table .
She later apologized and explained that the tantrum was rooted in her frustration over the proceedings .
However , a clear picture emerges from the deposition of how Epstein financially propped up Maxwell ’ s opulent lifestyle , loaning the British socialite and heiress to a media empire money to purchase a townhouse .
He also buyed Maxwell a car and donated $ 50,000 to her ocean conservationist charity , TerraMar , she said .
“ Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jeffrey Epstein after he pled guilty ?
” Ms. McCawley asked at one point , referring to his conviction in 2008 by a Florida court on charges of procuring a minor for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute .
“ I believe that you need to be a good friend in people ’ s hour of need , ” Maxwell responded , “ and I felt that it was a very thoughtful , nice thing for me to do to help in very limited fashion.
” Following her arrest on July 2 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and placed in prison ahead of her trial in 2021 .
Maxwell faces a range of charges related to child sex trafficking , the sexual exploitation of minors , and perjury .
She is accused of grooming multiple minors to engage in sex acts with Epstein by befriending them to ask them about their lives and families while building friendships with the young girls alongside Epstein by taking their victims on social outings or shopping trips .
Epstein , 66 , was found hanged in a lone cell in the special housing unit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prison in Manhattan while facing a potential prison sentence of up to 45 years on charges of pedophilia and sex trafficking .
A city medical examiner ruled the death a suicide .

Actress Pamela Anderson has called on US President Donald Trump to pardon WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange is currently awaiting extradition to the US to face charges under the espionage act, because he helped whistleblower Chelsea Manning release classified information proving that the US military was committing war crimes and killing civilians in the war on terror.
Anderson has been an advocate of Assange for many years, and previously visited him while he was in prison and also while he was in the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK.
Earlier this month, Anderson appeared on “Mornings with Maria” where she briefly discussed her friendship with Assange and her thoughts about his case.
“To see him be crucified like this is difficult for me because I know him as such a mild-mannered, sweet man and he’s doing the best he can,” Anderson said.
She also said that she wants Donald Trump to pardon Assange.
“I hope that President Trump will pardon Julian Assange. That’s my wish,” she said.
At a recent extradition hearing for Julian Assange, a psychiatrist testified that the embattled Wikileaks founder is experiencing strong hallucinations and is at a high risk of suicide. Professor Michael Kopelman, an emeritus professor of neuropsychiatry at King’s College London, said that Assange has been hearing voices and has confessed to a priest that he was making preparations to kill himself. These preparations included drafting his will and writing a goodbye letter to his family and friends.
The embattled journalist has lived through some extremely intense conditions while being detained over the past several years. Last week it was revealed that US intelligence agencies once discussed plans to poison or kidnap Assange while he was living in the Ecuadorian embassy.
A witness recently testified during his extradition hearing that, “There was a suggestion that the door of the embassy would be left open allowing people to enter from the outside and kidnap or poison Assange.”
His life in the embassy was constantly monitored by western intelligence agencies, who put relentless effort into bugging his room and listening in on all of his communications with activists and attorneys. There was even a plot to steal the diaper of a baby that visited the embassy to determine whether or not Assange was the father.
According to the Guardian, pressure on Assange from US intelligence agencies has actually increased significantly under President Trump, despite often-repeated claims that WikiLeaks formed some sort of alliance with Trump prior to the 2016 election.
Assange was reportedly wise to some of these spying techniques and attempted counter-measures to keep himself safe and his communications private. Assange regularly turned on “white noise” sounds while having important conversations in an attempt to muffle the words for any microphones that might be in the room. Intelligence agencies also attempted pointing laser microphones at the windows of the rooms where Assange was staying. It is not entirely clear what type of evidence or information they were able to gather about Assange while they were spying on him.

themindunleashed--2020-10-22--Miley Cyrus Claims She “Made Eye Contact” With Alien In UFO Encounter

Earlier this year, the Pentagon formally announced that they have at least one task force dedicated to studying UFOs, and earlier this month, US President Donald Trump acknowledged the existence of the program.
It seems that now conversations about the possibility of alien life are not as taboo as they once were. Some people, including celebrities, are starting to speak more freely about their opinions or even personal experiences with UFOs.
In a recent interview, pop star Miley Cyrus claimed that she was “chased down by some sort of UFO” and said that she made “eye contact” with an alien.
The claims were made in an interview with Fashion Designer Rick Owens for Interview magazine.
Cyrus said that the incident “f***ed me up” and said that she now can’t “look at the sky the same”.
“I was driving through San Bernardino with my friend, and I got chased down by some sort of UFO. I’m pretty sure about what I saw,” she said.
However, she did add that she was under the influence of strong concentrates.
“I’d also bought weed wax from a guy in a van in front of a taco shop, so it could have been the weed wax,” she added.
Cyrus now claims to live a life of sobriety after many years of partying hard in the entertainment industry. Cyrus described the UFO as a “flying snowplough” that was “glowing yellow” with a “big plough in the front of it”.
“I did see it flying, and my friend saw it, too. There were a couple of other cars on the road and they also stopped to look, so I think what I saw was real,” she said.
Cyrus added that she did not feel threatened by the experience, even when she made eye contact with what she described as a “being.”
“It looked at me and we made eye contact, and I think that’s what really shook me, looking into the eyes of something that I couldn’t quite wrap my head around,” she said.
While she did not feel threatened, she did say that she was “shaken up” for days by the experience.
“I was shaken up for like five days. It f***ed me up. I couldn’t really look at the sky the same. I thought they might come back,” she said.
Cyrus is the daughter of country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and became a teen celebrity while portraying the title character of the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana between 2006 and 2011.
As Hannah Montana, she attained two number-one and three top-ten soundtracks on the US Billboard 200. She went on to have many other hit songs, and has sold 20 million singles and 12 million albums. As an actress, Cyrus has made appearances in the animated film Bolt and the feature films Hannah Montana: The Movie and The Last Song.
Cyrus is an animal rights advocate and adopted a vegan lifestyle in 2014; she founded the non-profit Happy Hippie Foundation in 2014, which focuses on youth homelessness and the LGBT community.

Confidential Ghislaine Maxwell deposition finally goes public, revealing her total loyalty to late pedophile Epstein

The widely-anticipated 2016 deposition by Ghislaine Maxwell, the accused sex-trafficker and ex-girlfriend of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was unsealed on Thursday by a New York court.
However, rather than revealing a desperate figure admitting to her crimes, the recording of the deposition showed Maxwell strictly abiding by the code of silence – offering only denials and evasions of her role in the storm of scandal surrounding the disgraced pedophile.
The deposition was one of about a dozen files revealed from the four-year old portfolio related to Epstein accuser and former “sex slave” Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s now-settled 2015 civil lawsuit against Maxwell.

Asked over 10 times in a row if she had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of minors, Maxwell failed to answer.

“I wouldn’t be able to characterize it like that, no,” Maxwell said.
“He just allowed him to use his plane?” the lawyer continued.
“I couldn’t categorize Jeffrey’s relationship,” Maxwell evasively responded.

Under Minnesota’s sentencing guidelines, a conviction on charges of unintentional second-degree murder carries a presumptive sentence of 12.5 years. However, a judge can order a sentence of up to 15 years per their discretion. Second-degree manslaughter sentences call for four years in prison but can range up to 4.75 years.

The four former police officers are set to face trial in March 2021.

themindunleashed--2020-10-22--Mass grave found in search for victims of 1921 Tulsa Massacre that wiped out Black community

A mass grave has been unearthed in an Oklahoma cemetery as archaeologists continue to search for victims of one of the most terrible examples of racist mass terror in modern U.S. history , the 1921 Tulsa Massacre .
The Tulsa Massacre happened when a white mob assisted by the police set upon the city ’ s Greenwood district – a prosperous area known as Black Wall Street – in a two-day orgy of violence that claimed the lives of hundreds of Black victims and led to the decimation of upwards of 1,000 homes belonging to African American families .

” However , investigators remain cautious about the finding because they haven ’ t yet exposed the likely human remains .
City officials began efforts to uncover the remains of victims of the 1921 massacre in 2018 .
An excavation of another area of the cemetery in July did not yield any results .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ state archaeologists have already found one set of human remains and a suspected second set , which are both not yet confirmed to belong to the victims of the massacre .
“ We still have a lot of work to do to identify the nature of that mass grave and identify who is in it , but what we do know , as of today , is that there is a mass grave in Oaklawn Cemetery where we have no record of anyone being buried , ” said Tulsa Mayor G.T .
Bynum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CNN .
Community members involved in the efforts hope that their findings can help shed light on the brutal disappearances and murders that effectively erased a thriving Black community off the face of the map , and was subsequently erased from official U.S. history .
“ We basically are thinking of our loved ones , our community members who lost their lives very , very tragically , ” said Brenda Alford , the chair of the investigation ’ s public oversight committee .
“ I am just very appreciative of all the hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth , to again bring some sense of justice and healing to our community.
” The cemetery has been the focus of efforts after records showed that some 18 identified and unidentified victims of the race riots were buried in the seminary .

On Wednesday, Oklahoma state archaeologist Kary Stackelback announced that her team had found the outlines of 10 coffins at Oaklawn Cemetary in Tulsa and that she has a “high degree of confidence that this is one of the locations that we have been looking for.”
However, investigators remain cautious about the finding because they haven’t yet exposed the likely human remains.
City officials began efforts to uncover the remains of victims of the 1921 massacre in 2018. An excavation of another area of the cemetery in July did not yield any results.
Since continuing the excavation on Monday, state archaeologists have already found one set of human remains and a suspected second set, which are both not yet confirmed to belong to the victims of the massacre.
“We still have a lot of work to do to identify the nature of that mass grave and identify who is in it, but what we do know, as of today, is that there is a mass grave in Oaklawn Cemetery where we have no record of anyone being buried,” said Tulsa Mayor G.T.

themindunleashed--2020-10-22--Neuroscientist Claims That Consciousness Itself Is Its Own Energy Field

More than 20 years old now , The Matrix is recognized by fans across the world as being one of the most brilliant films in history , most notably for its deeper meaning and esoteric philosophy .
One scene that is particularly intriguing , considering the social climate of today , is Neo ’ s interrogation by the Agents of the Matrix .
Now , before we dig into the potential hidden meaning here , as I perceive it , and how Neo found himself in this uncomfortable position to begin with , let ’ s first establish some key @ @ @ @ @ @ @ line that will help us to appreciate the implications behind this scene a little bit more .
What Does The Character Neo Represent in the Matrix ?
Neo in ancient Greek ( νέος ) means new/young one .
This is an important piece of the puzzle to help us understand what the directors of the film are trying to communicate to us .
With that said , when we assess Neo ’ s character in the first film , we find that he is a solitary individual that keeps to himself and is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world by constantly searching the internet .
What Does The Character Morpheus Represent in the Matrix ?
Morpheus in Greek mythology is a messenger of the gods .
He appears to humans through dreams with the intention of delivering divine Knowledge and Truth .
In the Greek mythos , he can appear in almost any form in people ’ s dreams , which could be because anyone , regardless of race , gender , or outward appearance , can be a messenger of enlightenment and Truth .
The First Matrix Film is About @ @ @ @ @ @ @ With the understanding of the deeper meaning behind what Neo and Morpheus ’ characters represent in the film , we can now appreciate the intro scene of Neo sleeping ( whilst searching for Morpheus ) through a different lens of perception and awareness .
You see , Neo sleeping whilst searching online for Morpheus represents the early stages of the Truth seekers journey — “ asleep ” but still searching for deeper meaning in life — and hoping to find that meaning by seeking out a “ messenger ” of higher Knowledge and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Empire of Lies Through his incessant efforts , Neo begins to get closer and closer to finding the elusive Morpheus .
This , however , also attracts the unwanted attention of the Agents in the Matrix , which represent the enforcers of the shadow government of this system .
Their job is to ensure that no one exposes what the Matrix really is , and how it turns unsuspecting every day human beings into useful resources that it can use and exploit .
The Agents proceed to apprehend Neo and interrogate him , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they ’ ve been spying on him and keeping meticulous records of his activities , both online and offline , for quite some time now .
As we all know very well today , all around the world intelligence agencies are doing exactly that — tracking what we view online and keeping meticulous records on many of our movements .
The agents , however , do not see Neo as being a major threat to the Matrix system , as he is still in the early stages of his awakening and does not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Instead , they offer him a deal where they will be willing to “ wipe the slate clean ” on his illegal activities online , if Neo will simply help them track down the man they call Morpheus , who they claim is “ a known terrorist ” that is “ considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous man alive ” .
This represents that the single greatest threat to this manipulative system — which is overwhelmingly ruled by deception and exploitation — is any messenger of higher Knowledge and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are still “ asleep ” to what the proverbial Matrix really is .
In fact , one could argue this sort of power struggle has been going on for thousands of years , and is possibly why Socrates was accused of “ corrupting the youth ” by the ruling class more than 2,000 years ago and subsequently sentenced to death ; or why Fred Hampton was assassinated by government authorities in 1969 ; or , in more recent history , why civilians that were peacefully protesting against Wall Street and the bankers for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2008 , were targeted by the FBI and even labelled as potential “ domestic terrorists “ .
Simply put , Truth is terrorism in the empire of lies .
Neo , still being somewhat naïve and unbegun in his journey , rejects the Agent ’ s offer and demands he get a phone call because “ I know my rights !
” To this , Agent Smith retorts , “ tell me Mr. Anderson , what good is a phone call if you ’ re unable to speak ?
” , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the most eerie of ways .
This scene represents a lesson that all genuine Truth seekers eventually come to learn — this system is not concerned with human rights nor is it concerned with upholding authentic justice .
Instead , it inculcates these beliefs and misperceptions into our minds from a very young age , because it serves to help legitimize its unnecessary existence in the eyes of the unsuspecting public and indoctrinate us as to why we think we need it .
But in reality , our government guaranteed “ rights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the blink of an eye .
In relation to current events , for example , many thousands of people worldwide have been arrested for violating curfew orders ; In one Indian state , civilians were told they must take selfies every hour and send it to the authorities to prove that they are staying indoors ; in South Africa , some have been fined for not wearing masks while driving their cars ; In Boston in the United States , people have even been told that they will be fined if they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the street ; Homeless people in France have reportedly been fined for not staying indoors ; Some people have been arrested for attending funerals of loved ones because it violated lockdown orders ; Others ( including doctors and scientists ) have had their right to freedom of speech censored online ; In Australia , a pregnant woman was actually arrested in her home for facebook posts that encouraged protesting against the lockdown ; According to the International Labor Organization , tens of millions are being pushed into unemployment ; and travel all around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these authorities who have taken it upon themselves to be the rulers of this planet by dictating what the rest of us can and can not do .
Whether you agree with these policies or not , these things can not logically be called “ rights ” since they are so very easily violated and taken away from us .
There are many other examples that demonstrate how our government given “ rights ” are more of a comforting illusion than an actual reality , such as the CIA ’ s secretive Black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done in cooperation with other intelligence agencies and authorities throughout the world .
In these programs , people have been kidnapped — without any legal criminal charge or trial — and then taken to undisclosed secret locations where many of them are tortured for many months on end , in ways that are considered to be in violation of international law and basic human rights .
The CIA , of course , simply claims they are suspected terrorists .
In 2014 , however , a Senate Intelligence Committee Report found that at least @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and tortured were actually “ wrongfully detained ” .
Wake Up Neo — You Are the One Fortunately , Neo manages to escape this unthinkable situation without any serious injury or harm .
Soon after , he is contacted by Morpheus , where he is told that he was very lucky that the Agents underestimated his great potential and spared him , because if the Agents had known the great secret that Morpheus knows , then Neo would probably be dead .
Confused by the obvious strangeness of everything taking place , Neo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on , and what exactly is he talking about ?
?
Without hesitation , Morpheus replies to him , “ You are the one Neo — You see , you may have spent the last few years looking for me , but I have spent my entire life looking for you.
” This is perhaps the most important lesson the new Truth seeker must eventually come to learn — We are the ones we have been waiting for to change this corrupt world my friends ; and we must stop looking for heroes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this very serious responsibility .
Instead , we must all take on the role of Morpheus — which is to awaken as many Neo ’ s ( new minds ) as we possibly can , whilst also taking on the role that represents the journey of Neo , by challenging ourselves to become the best version of who we authentically are .
By doing this , we will help to awaken and unleash the unique creative forces of each individual ’ s problem solving imagination ; and we will also find unity in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and corruption , of this inhumane system which invariably exploits us all .
If not us , then who ?
And if not now , then when ?

A neuroscientist has suggested in a new theory that our consciousness is derived from a field of electromagnetic waves given off by neurons.
The study published last month in the journal Neuroscience of Consciousness is entirely based off a theory absent of tangible evidence. However, the author of the research Johnjoe McFadden said that his hypothesis could offer a way forward for robots that think and feel emotions.
McFadden believes that neuron waves of electrical activity get sent out and as they propagate across the brain, they help compose our entire conscious experience.
Johnjoe McFadden, is a molecular geneticist and director of quantum biology at the University of Surrey. McFadden points to flaws in other models of consciousness as the reason that we don’t have sentient artificial intelligence or robots capable of achieving consciousness.
McFadden’s hypothesis swerves away from most traditional neuroscientists, who generally see consciousness as a narrative that our brain constructs out of our senses, perceptions, and actions. Instead, McFadden returns to a more empirical version of dualism — the idea that consciousness stems from something other than our brain matter.
McFadden’s theory adapts the idea of “dualism,” which is the belief that consciousness is a supernatural force. Dualism has long been rejected by scientists and ruled pseudo-science, but McFadden has attempted to apply a scientific explanation for the idea, which hasn’t been done before.
Neuroscience news reports that the theory is based on scientific fact:
“The theory is based on scientific fact: when neurons in the brain and nervous system fire, they not only send the familiar electrical signal down the wire-like nerve fibres, but they also send a pulse of electromagnetic energy into the surrounding tissue. Such energy is usually disregarded, yet it carries the same information as nerve firings, but as an immaterial wave of energy, rather than a flow of atoms in and out of the nerves.”
It’s also a fact we have an electromagnetic field surrounding our brain is well-known and is detected by brain-scanning techniques such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) but has previously been dismissed as irrelevant to brain function and supernatural. Instead, McFadden contends that the brain’s information-rich electromagnetic field is, in fact, itself the seat of consciousness, driving the ‘free will’ of an individual.
“How brain matter becomes aware and manages to think is a mystery that has been pondered by philosophers, theologians, mystics and ordinary people for millennia,” McFadden said in a press release published by Medical Xpress. “I believe this mystery has now been solved, and that consciousness is the experience of nerves plugging into the brain’s self-generated electromagnetic field to drive what we call ‘free will’ and our voluntary actions.”

themindunleashed--2020-10-22--Small American company makes production car that shatters world records at 316 miles per hour

An obscure American car manufacturer can now boast that it has produced the fastest car in the world , putting rivals such as Bugatti , Lamborghini , and McLaren to shame .
SSC North America , an American automaker , announced on Monday that its SSC Tuatara hypercar has shattered the world speed limit for cars and gained the much-coveted title of “ Fastest Production Vehicle.
” The beast of a vehicle was tested Saturday on a seven-mile stretch of highway just outside of Las Vegas , Nevada , and managed to accelerate to the highest-ever speed achieved on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mph ( 532.93 km/h ) .
The vehicle ’ s average speed was 316.11 mph ( 508.73 km/h ) , which was the result of the Tuatara traveling in opposite directions to take into account variations in wind and road conditions .
Independent officials were on site to witness the world record-setting achievement .
Shelby SuperCars , or SSC , was founded in 1998 in Richland , Washington , by current CEO Jerod Shelby with an aim to become “ America ’ s first hypercar company.
” Since then the team ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expectations despite a few years of setbacks and challenges .
Since 2005 , Shelby has been hyper-motivated by his own rivalry with Volkswagen ’ s elite division , Bugatti , to attain the title of the world ’ s fastest car , with the entrepreneur comparing himself to “ David ” versus the “ Goliath ” luxury sports car brand .
Indeed , the SSC Tuatara boasts some major hardware .
The hypercar manages to pump out 1,750 horsepower from its turbocharged V8 engine , making it the second vehicle built by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world ’ s fastest production car .
“ It ’ s been ten years since we held this record with our first car , the Ultimate Aero , and the Tuatara is leagues ahead , ” said Shelby .
“ Its performance reflects the dedication and focus with which we pursued this achievement.
” However , just last year , Bugatti managed to reach 304.8 mph with a specially modified Bugatti Chiron in two test runs on a German track .
The French subsidiary of Volkswagen said that it was the first auto @ @ @ @ @ @ @ miles per hour ( an important distinction from cars built solely to beat speed records , which have exceeded 700 mph in some cases ) .
Shelby has now achieved the upper hand over the French competitor , at least for the time being .
“ We came pretty close to meeting the theoretical numbers , which is astonishing to do in a real world setting on a public road .
America ’ s new claim to victory in the ‘ land-based space race ’ is going to be tough to beat , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has an aerodynamic design inspired by fighter jets that is the product of over a decade of research and development , according to the company .
The company plans to produce 100 Tuatara hypercars to sell – and it ’ s positive that its car can exceed even the record-breaking speeds it reached in its weekend test run .
“ There was definitely more in there , ” said driver Oliver Webb .
“ And with better conditions , I know we could have gone faster … the car wasn ’ t running @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are all that prevented us from realizing the car ’ s limit .

themindunleashed--2020-10-23--Scientists Say Species Throughout Earth’s History Keep Inexplicably Evolving Into Crabs

A paper from 2017 recently resurfaced online and has gone semi-viral because of its weird , and , according to some scientists , somewhat disturbing/amazing conclusion : that life on Earth seems to naturally evolve toward crab-like species .
Originally published in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , the paper is titled “ One hundred years of carcinization – the evolution of the crab-like habitus in Anomura.
” It found a new life in mid-October on Boing Boing under the title “ Animals have evolved into a crab-like-shape at least 5 separate times ” and has since been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and several other websites .
So what are popular science writers – and their readers – so worked up about ?
The original paper discusses the curious and highly improbable sequence of instances involving convergent and parallel evolution of animals into crab-like species .
These instances of carcinization – the scientific term for when a crustacean evolves from a non-crab-like form into a crab-like one – has happened at least five different times in completely different historical contexts .
In the paper , the researchers write : “ The fact that a crab-like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true ’ crabs but also several times independently in the Anomura makes this process ideal for evolutionary research.
” Parallel evolution is certainly no stranger to Earth ’ s history .
For example , marsupials are commonly referred to in this context .
Convergent evolution , which refers to species from independent epochs of time developing analogous morphological structures , is also well established by Darwinian principles .
Species on separate evolutionary tracks of both habitat and time can end up arriving at the same traits and structures .
However , the number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shape and features seems to baffle more than a few scientists .

Is life on Earth somehow predisposed to crabs ?
Does this mean that when we meet aliens someday they will be giant intelligent crabs ?
Or could there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crab-like habitus and internal structures ?

A paper from 2017 recently resurfaced online and has gone semi-viral because of its weird, and, according to some scientists, somewhat disturbing/amazing conclusion: that life on Earth seems to naturally evolve toward crab-like species.
Originally published in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, the paper is titled “One hundred years of carcinization – the evolution of the crab-like habitus in Anomura.” It found a new life in mid-October on Boing Boing under the title “Animals have evolved into a crab-like-shape at least 5 separate times” and has since been the subject of articles on Popular Mechanics and several other websites.
So what are popular science writers – and their readers – so worked up about? The original paper discusses the curious and highly improbable sequence of instances involving convergent and parallel evolution of animals into crab-like species. These instances of carcinization – the scientific term for when a crustacean evolves from a non-crab-like form into a crab-like one – has happened at least five different times in completely different historical contexts.
In the paper, the researchers write:
“The fact that a crab-like habitus did not evolve solely in ‘true’ crabs but also several times independently in the Anomura makes this process ideal for evolutionary research.”
Parallel evolution is certainly no stranger to Earth’s history. For example, marsupials are commonly referred to in this context. Convergent evolution, which refers to species from independent epochs of time developing analogous morphological structures, is also well established by Darwinian principles. Species on separate evolutionary tracks of both habitat and time can end up arriving at the same traits and structures. However, the number of times it happens with the crab-like shape and features seems to baffle more than a few scientists.
Additionally, the researchers point out, the similarities are not just relegated to superficial appearances in shells and claws: the five evolutionary journeys toward carcinization include shared functional traits in neurological processes and circulatory systems.
“Curiously, not only did the crab-like habitus evolve independently from the ‘true’ crabs (Brachyura), it also evolved three times independently within anomurans. […] Although enormous morphological disparity is observed in the internal anatomy of the crab-like taxa, reflecting the fact that the evolution of the crab-like habitus was indeed convergent, various corresponding dependences are found across the different lineages between the external characters of a crab-like habitus/morphotype and inner structures. In other words, as a result of carcinization certain structural coherences led to the specific internal anatomical patterns found in crab-like forms.”
So, what does it all mean? Is life on Earth somehow predisposed to crabs? Does this mean that when we meet aliens someday they will be giant intelligent crabs? Or could there be some strategic evolutionary advantage in the crab-like habitus and internal structures?

A police officer from Florida was recently arrested after he was caught performing a strange exorcism on a child holding a taser , while another child was given a gun and instructed to shoot anyone who entered the home .
37-year-old Christopher Dougherty reportedly told the two children that there were demons in the house .

Someone tripped an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was occurring , which prompted police to arrive on the scene .
Once they got there , they saw evidence of child abuse , and decided to enter the home .
Upon entering they found a young girl wearing body armor and a Kevlar helmet , lying on the ground with a rifle in a shooting position .
There was also a young boy in the house who had a taser .
The boy is believed to be the subject of an exorcism .

Dougherty was detained and taken to a hospital where he was held under the Baker Act , and then arrested after he was released from the hospital a few days later .
On the same day as his arrest , he was fired from the sheriff ’ s office , but the agency insists that his termination was related to “ an unsatisfactory performance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and had nothing to do with the exorcism .
In a statement to Fox News , Orange County Sheriff John Mina said that he was concerned about the officer ’ s mental health .
“ While this deputy was terminated for a pattern of unsatisfactory performance , these are very serious criminal allegations .
