These award-winning science images show the world in ways you've never imagined

 Every day, scientists work to understand the aspects of the world that are completely unknown to the rest of us. Some study the way blood vessels provide oxygen to an African Grey parrot, others follow tiny bobtail squid that light themselves up while hunting for shrimp, and others try to understand the pain and physical symptoms of diseases like Crohn's.

 Most of the time, we can't "see" this work in a way that helps us understand it and shows how fascinating and even beautiful it can be. In the images below, showing the winners of the Wellcome Image Awards 2017 contest, first established in 1997, you can see all this — and it's beautiful indeed...http://www.businessinsider.com/wellcome-image-award-winners-are-beautiful-science-images-2017-3/#this-image-shows-how-an-iris-clip-also-known-as-an-artificial-intraocular-lens-iol-is-used-to-treat-conditions-such-as-myopia-nearsightedness-and-cataracts-cloudiness-of-the-lens-is-fitted-onto-the-eye-clinical-photography-1

The Greatest Threat To America Coming From Turkey Who Is Working With The American Left To Usher In An Islamic Empire

By Walid Shoebat (Shoebat Sunday Special)

What is the greatest threat to America? ISIS? The Muslim Immigrants? Obamacare? Political Correctness? Multiculturalism? The Arab Spring?

While these indeed are threats to America, a greater threat is confusion.

Take for example the Arab Spring; was it the greatest threat?

It was the greatest confusion of our time. Yet the Arab Spring of 2011 is ushering in even a greater threat to western stability: the coming Euro-Spring of 2018. Lets delve into some really shocking comparisons that reveal what the future holds for America and the West:

When it comes to the Arab Spring, even conservatives consumed the blue-pill in 2011 to only learn way later that it was a Muslim Spring.

And you think that you recovered from that trap? While you think that by now you discovered this phenomenon’s ramifications, reality is, the global blue-pill consumers are delving again into another even scarier ‘spring’ in Europe which is already germinating to hit seven years from 2011 where the same phenomenon will occur and only the labels will differ but with greater disasters that will effect the whole West. In fact, when comparing the two springs they match, perfectly...http://shoebat.com/2017/03/04/what-the-media-is-not-telling-you-the-greatest-threat-to-america-coming-from-turkey-who-is-working-with-the-american-left-to-usher-in-an-islamic-empire/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+shoebat+%28Walid+Shoebat%29

The greatest privacy threat of all: our connected devices

   Smart-television maker Vizio agreed to pay a penalty this month for spying on 11 million customers. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the company captured second-by-second information on what customers viewed, combined it with their gender, age and income, and sold it to third parties.
   How much was the fine for Vizio, which has sales in excess of $3 billion? It was $2.2 million — barely a slap on the wrist.
   These kinds of privacy breaches are increasingly common as billions of devices now become part of the “Internet of Things” (I.o.T.). Whether it be our TV sets, cars, bathroom scales, children’s toys or medical devices, we are already surrounded by everyday objects equipped with sensors and computers. And the companies that make them can get away with being careless with consumer security — and with stealing customer data...https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/greatest-privacy-threat-all-our-connected-devices-vivek-wadhwa?trk=eml-email_feed_ecosystem_digest_01-hero-0-null&midToken=AQGUbaMqMWBmHg&fromEmail=fromEmail&ut=0Xz1e3aj2QpTE1

Trudeau Gives Preference to Islam over all other Religions in Canada - update

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and his Liberal government have just committed a major political blunder which in the long term will hurt Trudeau and his Liberal party in their re-election efforts.

 By Mitch Wolfe
    Trudeau and his Liberals have started a process of developing, issuing and then passing a law which will give preferential treatment to Islam and all followers and adherents of Islam in Canada over all other Canadian religious groups, including Canadian Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs, just to name a few of the major religious faiths practiced in Canada.
    Motion M103 was introduced by a Liberal MP backbencher, Iqra Khalid, a Muslim Canadian. This motion has been taken up and defended by the Canadian Heritage Minister Melanie Joly. It is clear Trudeau, the PMO office and the full Liberal Cabinet are strongly behind this very controversial legislative initiative.
    The motion calls for the government to (1) recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear and (2) condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.
    This motion further requests the Heritage committee to study the issue and “develop a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia,” and then report its findings to Parliament.http://canadafreepress.com/article/trudeau-gives-preference-to-islam-over-all-other-religions-in-canada#
