The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, is introducing commercial UAVs or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles into its data collection mix to help them study the weather. These super sophisticated systems on board will have unbelievable capabilities to study the weather patters and protect the American People. These NOAA UAVs will be designated UAS or Unmanned Aerial Systems and will have some of the latest technologies included in them. In fact they will be mini weather stations in the sky.
Indeed not just your average mini-weather station either, they will be capable of operating at high-altitude or some 52,000 feet above sea level for up to 30 plus hours and able to replay or feed information to satellites via LOS or the ground based mobile units via UHF. These systems will be able to run grid patterns with other UAS or alone to track severe weather or collect data.
The will have combined ozone photometers and gas chromatograph instruments, ocean color and PMVS passive microwave vertical sounders, Airborne maritime survelliance electro optical infrared (EOIR) gyro stabilized imaging sensors, directed Geo-reference digital high definition cameras, video feed, research environment for vehicle-embeded analysis on Linux or (REVEAL) and all this will sit inside the nose cone of the UAS.
It is simply awesome that the NOAA is using the best technology and leveraging all this to help protect the American People. Such systems will be able to feed constant reliable data to forecast, study, track and better understand our climate and weather. The NOAA clearly tops the list of having one of the greatest programs in our government. Kudos to the NOAA for keeping us safe both night and day.

- Integrating Your 4 Freedoms - Ultimate Reality: Consciousness - By: Al Link
If the difference between particles and waves is so slippery, and if time and space are so easily transcended, what is the fundamental nature of reality? What is real? One answer is consciousness. Consciousness is original and fundamental, everything considered to be "reality" comes out of that consciousness. - Integrating Your 4 Freedoms (Part 1 of 9) - Quantum Reality - By: Al Link
The Western world loves to compartmentalize, creating boxes of separation so that the complexities of life are easier to comprehend and simpler to cope with. We separate work from family life, spiritual practice from sexuality, social policy from corporate profit, and art from infrastructure. We manifest these divisions not only in society at large but also within ourselves, separating our minds from our hearts and our bodies from our souls. - Source of Cosmic Rays Hold Down - By: Analyn Sarte
A new study shows that a supernovae will serve as gigantic particle accelerators - ranging up to almost the speed of light. This new discovery helps explain where the extremely energetic cosmic rays we find near earth come from. - Selective Catalytic Reduction How NOx Reduction Make the World Go Green - By: Ant Onaf
Selective catalytic reduction systems have leveled the playing for life and NOx to coexist in the same environment. The toxic fumes of NOx are very damaging to the world as we know it. With the aid of selective catalytic reduction technology the levels of nitrogen oxide emissions can be controlled and managed. This article takes you through the process. - The Maya Decline - By: Y. avicenna
The causes of the decline of Maya classic civilization is remain a mystery. Various theories about the Maya decline have been suggested. Epidemic diseases, such as yellow fever and malaria are probably post-Colombian imports to America. There is also no convincing evidence that the decline of Maya civilization was caused by natural disaster such as earthquakes or devastating droughts. - Aztec and the City of Tenochtitlan - A Brief History - By: Y. avicenna
With the Aztecs, archaeology merges fully with history. The picture and rebus writing of the Aztec manuscripts and the accounts of Bernal Diaz del Castillo and Bernardino Sahagun are sources as important as the monuments of Tenochtitlan which lie beneath the streets of modern Mexico City. - Origin of the 11D World Membrane as a Pascal Conic Section of Six Strings in a 5D Projective Space - By: Sean Sheeter
History of Hilbert's faux pas trying to make Pappus theorem into an axiom and similar issues stemming from the Godel theorem. We go on to discuss the generalization of Pappus in the Pascal theorem and its central importance to the projective axioms of incidence: further demonstrating the significance of its 6-element conic as a dual 11D sectioning of six string-like lines in a 5D projective space. Which then shows the origin for the 11D Membrane integrating the five 10D superstring theories. - Hydrogen As a Fuel Source - By: Levi Quinn
From water to air, there are a number of ways to energize your car. Alternatives to petroleum are a hot topic today. The growing concern for the environment is steadily increasing. It's an important issue that many people want to feel personally connected to. Hydrogen as a fuel source is not an entirely new idea. But science is taking a closer look at the impact that using hydrogen could have on both the environment and the economy. The best solutions are the ones that have more benefits than drawbacks. - MRI and Ultrasound: Two Vital Branches of Radiology - By: R Govindan
Radiology was initially the branch of medical imaging that made use of x-rays on large flat sheets of photographic films for diagnosis. Modern day radiology is no longer confined to the practice of x-rays and now encompasses other methods of diagnostic imaging such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound. - Processes Involved In Blavatsky's Writings and its effects - By: Edi Bilimoria
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) demonstrated the Siddhis (psychic-spiritual faculties) of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the powers of projection, precipitation and being en rapport. These were all used in her writings on Occult science and Meta Physics which may be categorized into seven kinds of processes. We outline them below but it is emphasized that none of the above processes are miracles or supernatural
