Michael Schratt: CRASH RETRIEVALS OF THE 3RD KIND
source: Project Camelot 2014年01月21日
On Monday, January 19th at 7pm PT I interviewed Michael Schratt about his new book, RETRIEVALS OF THE THIRD KIND which covers the long lost Leonard Stringfield ufo crash retrieval files. This interview was originally conducted live on the Project Camelot Livestream Channel.
Michael Schratt is an aerospace historian with an emphasis on new technology, ufos and crash retrievals. As a cutting-edge researcher into classified projects and unidentified craft he has met with and interviewed numerous scientists and aerospace engineers, pilots and executives from NASA and the defense industry. He investigates clues to planes that have been documented as having been flown by military from within both secret and top secret programs... He firmly believes that American tax-payers have every right to know where our money is being spent. Many of the craft he has documented are being funded within black projects... And he states that billions are being spent today on these craft. Some will only be flown once.
DESCRIPTION: Taken from his new book: ..."Michael Schratt was granted unprecedented access to this rare collection on March 8-9, 2013 and October 15-16, 2013 by the MUFON board of directors including former MUFON international director David MacDonald, and current director Jan Harzan. Per Leonard Stringfield's original request, the identities of personnel directly involved in UFO crash/retrieval operations will NOT be divulged. However, in the interest of preserving an important part of our national history, the contents and specific details of these important files will now be revealed for the first time."
This book is being released on the MUFON website (link to be provided) shortly.

2014年01月08日If you've ever used Google, Netflix, Facebook, or Amazon (and we're guessing that you have), then you've come into contact with algorithms. In fact, it's guaranteed that your life has been impacted by algorithms, even in ways you're unaware of (assuming you INTERNET... which, again, we're guessing that you have...) The point is, the importance of algorithms in today's world cannot be overstated, and their role has been the focus of much discussion- how they're shaping our lives, for better or for worse. But, how far does the algorithmic rabbit hole go, could their influence even have spiritual correlations?! Watch the episode and find out!

The History of Life on Earth in Three Minutes
source: Big Think 2014年01月01日
According to the Anno Domini designation, the year is now 2014. But the Earth has been around a lot longer than that - about 4.567 billion years. The first evidence of life dates back to around 3.8 billion years ago. Homo sapiens first appeared on the planet around two hundred thousand years - or ten thousand generations - ago.
How's that for perspective?
Kirk Johnson, director of the National Museum of Natural History, calls this perspective "deep time." This is the story of our planet preserved in "the DNA of living things," Johnson explains, as well as "in the fossils we find, in the geologic structures of our planet, in the meteorites we scavenge from the ice fields in Antarctica. Those things together give us an incredible manual for thinking about the planet."
Why is this manual useful? We are facing a century that will be an incredibly challenging one for humanity. We now live on a planet with seven billion people, which is up from 1.7 billion people just three or four generations ago. So we have more people, and a greater need for resources.
Fortunately we have the bodies of extinct plants and animals that lived for the last three-and-a-half billion years. These fossils are not only a source of energy, but also a source of knowledge about how this planet works. Over its history the Earth has seen an incredible diversity of life - maybe as many as fifty million species. Johnson says we're learning "as much about the evolution of life on Earth by looking at what happened in the past as we are at looking at the breakthroughs in genomics and DNA of living things." Furthermore, Johnson sees the sequencing of the human genome as the vanguard for what will eventually be "the study of the genomics of all living things."
We have the opportunity right now, Johnson says, to choose what our future will be. Our understanding of the diversity of life on this planet, he says, will be our guide. This story is being told at a current exhibition at the National Museum of Natural History called "Genome: Unlocking Life's Code."
In the video, Johnson shares a unique perspective on deep time in the form of a timeline of life on this planet in just three minutes.
Transcript - Life on Earth is an amazing story. The planet forms around 4.567 billion years ago. The first rocks that appear to have any chemical evidence of life show up around 3.8 billion years ago. Then by 3.5 billion years ago we actually see evidence of these bacterial mounds. And we waited a long time before we see any life forms that are large. The first large life forms show up about 600 million years ago and they are sea floor organisms that are now extinct that looked like placemats believe it or not. After that there's somewhere around 500 million years is an explosion of marine life, lots of diversification, the first organisms that were related to the different groups of marine animals you find today. It's not until about 400 million years ago that the first life emerges onto land. The first little arachnid spider-like organisms, early plants that were only maybe a centimeter tall. Wait another 100 million years you get your first forest.
You get your first large bodied terrestrial animals. Things like giant millipedes and the first land living vertebrates evolving from fish. Sometime after that animals -- four-legged animals finally learned how to eat plants. It took a while for the first terrestrial herbivores to appear. That happened somewhere around 300 million years ago. And then there's a major extinction that happens at 250 million years ago. Don't really know the cause but something to do with the perturbation of the Earth's carbon cycle where we lose something like 90 percent of the species on the planet. When they disappear it's like the near shave for life on Earth. But out of that grows the age of the dinosaurs. And for 150 million years we have a world that's warm, a world that is so warm that no polar ice caps. And in that world a great diversity of animals that start to look familiar to you cohabit with the dinosaurs. We get the first birds. We get the first mammals. We still have these large dinosaurs and then at 66 million years ago an asteroid the size of Denver traveling 20 times the speed of a bullet crashes into the Yucatan Peninsula and causes a massive extinction of all animals that are larger than dogs on the planet.

Sharon Salzberg: Kindness is Great
source: Big Think
2014年01月07日If you are looking for a principle to guide your life in the new year, the meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg proposes you practice kindness. By that Salzberg means the transformative Buddhist practice of Loving Kindness (or metta in Pali).
While kindness is widely recognized to be a virtue, Salzberg says we also tend to see it as an ineffectual or meek quality. People often think of kindness as the inclination to say yes to everyone and every thing, or what Salzberg calls "being soft and being a doormat and letting someone walk over you."
Salzberg, the co-author, along with Robert Thurman, of the book Love Your Enemies: How to Break the Anger Habit & Be a Whole Lot Happier (http://goo.gl/MgnHkr) redefines kindness as a strength. According to Salzberg, kindness needs to be "infused with wisdom, supported by courage, and threaded with balance."
Salzberg describes how we can have genuine compassion for someone and also "protect ourselves and want to take care of ourselves or protect others" and also have strong boundaries and the ability to say no.
Transcript -- The common perception tends to be that a quality like kindness or loving kindness or compassion is a sort of weakness, that it makes you sort of silly or very complacent, that you're only gonna say yes. You're only gonna say yes, you can move in, you can take over my apartment, I'll give you all my money just keep doing what you're doing, it's fine. Well maybe it's not fine at all. And so we really need to look at that as well. Why do we have such a sense of love or loving kindness that it's almost degraded into this kind of foolish reaction as compared to the force that it genuinely is.
We really can redefine strength and not see compassion, for example, as giving in and just being too soft and being a doormat and letting someone walk over you. But understanding we can have a genuine compassion for someone and also protect ourselves and want to take care of ourselves or protect others and have a strong boundary and say no.
You can be fierce or kind of intense in how we relate to somebody but we don't have to have that kind of obsession, you know, how we can go through someone's list of faults like all day long and then we go through it again and it's the same list. It's not like we learn new faults. But we're so caught up it's like we've given so much of our own life energy over to someone else that we want to recapture it, we want to be free. And so one of the ways of doing that is really having a genuine compassion for the pain that this person is also in without having it lead to that kind of weakness.
So I've often thought that in this society at this time that we tend to see kindness as a sort of secondary virtue. It's like if you can't be brilliant and you can't be courageous and you can't be wonderful, like okay, be kind. It's nice, you know. It's not great but it's good. But it is great. It actually is great to really feel into the pain of someone and to wish them well. Not wish them to be triumphant in what they're doing but wishing that they could be free of that pain which is the source of their negative behavior.

Eric Green: Reading Cancer's Genetic Signature
source: Big Think
2014年01月08日
"Cancer death rates in the United States continue to decline." Despite this conclusion, from the recent Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, we are still thought to be losing the war against cancer. Why is this? For one thing, cancer may soon overtake heart disease as the #1 cause of death.
But this is an unfair comparison, writes George Johnson in The New York Times. "Heart disease and cancer are primarily diseases of aging," Johnson observes, adding that we are really talking about a zero-sum game: "Fewer people succumbing to one means more people living long enough to die from the other...Though not exactly consoling, the fact that we have reached this standoff is a kind of success."
Moreover, in measuring progress in this war, we need to appreciate the approach that researchers have adopted, of "fighting and even winning smaller battles," as Johnson puts it. That means reducing and sometimes preventing cancer that occurs in childhood or in the prime of someone's life. Eventually, we all will get it, unless something else gets us first. Cancer, after all, is a condition "deeply ingrained in the nature of evolution and multicellular life." In other words, cancer is fundamentally a disease of the genome.
Over the past 10 years we have learned to read out that genome, explains Eric Green, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. Studying the sequence of a tumor's DNA allows us to "gain insights from that tumor with respect to the DNA changes that have led to those cells becoming a cancer," Green tells Big Think.
This is one of the most notable achievements of The Human Genome Project, Green argues, as the genomes of tumors can be analyzed, providing "a much better way of deciding what types of treatments to pursue."
The National Human Genome Research Institute, in partnership with the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian, has launched an exhibition called "Genome: Unlocking Life's Code."
This multimedia exhibition—on view at the National Museum of Natural History through Sept. 1, 2014—is designed to provide the general public with the most cutting edge information on genomic research and how it impacts human health.
Transcript - So cancer is fundamentally a disease of the genome. I mean the reason a tumor grows is because the cells in that tumor have picked up glitches. They picked up mutations. They picked up changes in the DNA that make those cells grow out of control. It's like pressing an accelerator in a car and just keep it going. It just grows and grows and grows and grows. And the reason why is because something's broken in the genome. And so what's happened in the past ten years in particular since the end of the Human Genome Project is the recognition that we can read out the genome, the sequence of the tumor's DNA and gain insights from that tumor with respect to what had been the DNA changes that have led to those cells becoming a cancer.
And that is being done on a very large scale in many countries around the world and here including the United States where literally very defined cancers are being studied. Hundreds of specimens are being collected from people and those genomes of those tumors are being read out and have all that data be put on the Internet for scientists to be able to collect it all and analyze it. And we are learning a tremendous amount about cancer in many very interesting and surprising ways. And among the many things that are happening is it's giving us insights about how to better classify different types of cancer and different subtypes of cancer. And I often make the point that some of the earliest implementation of genomics in the medical situation is gonna be with cancer.
And it's already happening now and I think it's gonna grow considerably. Where I think standard of care for many types of cancer are gonna be get that tumor, read out it's DNA, sequence it's genome and based on what you've seen what's wrong with that tumor, not by looking at it under a microscope only or by looking at it in a sort of a gross fashion but actually looking inside it's blueprint, you will be able to have a much better way of deciding what types of treatments to pursue and have a much better idea about what's wrong in that kind of tumor. And some of those things will also be very helpful for leading to possibly new developments of therapies.
