Images from Hubble helped planetary scientists to find another moon in Neptune, traces of which scientists discovered by chance five years ago. Her description and possible mechanisms of formation were presented in the journal Nature.

"Our observations show that Hippocampus most likely broke away from Proteus in the distant past. This once again confirms that the inner moons of Neptune acquired their current appearance after many collisions in past eras," says Mark Showalter from the Institute for Extraterrestrial Intelligence SETI (USA).

Neptune, the last "real" planet of the Solar System, was discovered in September 1846 by the German astronomer Johann Halle after it was predicted by theorists who discovered the oddities in the orbit location of its "neighbor" Uran.

Before the Neptune area was visited by the Voyager-2 interplanetary station, scientists believed that he had only three satellites – Triton, discovered together with the planet itself, as well as Larissa and Nereid, discovered in the second half of the 20th century.

In September 1989, the world learned about the existence of five more satellites of the "king of the seas", opened with cameras and other Voyager-2 tools. All of them were even closer to Neptune than Triton, and had an extremely small size and mass. Already in the current millennium, astronomers discovered five more moons using new ground-based telescopes, bringing their total number to thirteen.

Showalter and his colleagues added another object to the satellite of Neptune, studying the photos of the gas giant, which periodically received the Hubble in the first decade of the current century.

Five years ago, as the astronomer notes, he used these images to test the algorithm to search for particularly distant and dim dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt, where the New Horizons probe was heading at the time.

It is based on one simple principle — moons and planets move in orbit in a predictable way, smoothly moving from one point to another, while background objects, such as stars, do not change their position. This allows you to overlay each other many similar images of the same point in space, taken at different times, and artificially increase the sensitivity of the telescope that made them, sacrificing clarity of the picture.

Checking the work of this algorithm on the well-studied system of Neptune, Showalter and his team made an unexpected discovery. They found an extremely small and previously unknown moon of the giant planet, located between Proteus and Larissa. In size, it was approximately equal to Phobos or Deimos, the satellites of Mars, and made a turn around Neptune in just one part-time.

After reporting this discovery to the press, scientists assigned the temporary name S / 2004 N 1 to their find and began to work on its confirmation. To do this, they conducted several repetitive series of observations using the Hubble in 2016, using images in the ultraviolet and in the visible range of electromagnetic waves.

In total, they were able to "catch" S / 2004 N 1 about two dozen times, which confirmed its existence and allowed scientists to assign this moon a new name – Hippocampus, and to clarify its orbit, mass and some other characteristics.

For example, the space seahorse was about five million times lighter than Triton and ten times smaller than its nearest neighbors. In addition, its diameter was slightly less than expected – about 17 kilometers, and the orbit, as Showalter and his team discovered, was removed from its nearest neighbor, Proteus, by only 12 thousand kilometers.

This fact, as the researcher notes, reveals the history of the formation of the Hippocampus. Proteus is about four thousand times larger in volume, and on its surface there is a large crater, Pharos, where the new moon of Neptune can easily fit in entirely.

Both of them, according to astronomers, indicate that the Hippocampus is a fragment of Proteus, "knocked out" from its surface by a comet or a large asteroid in the first epochs of the life of the solar system. Moreover, scientists suspect that their discovery itself several times collided with other objects, disintegrated into parts and re-united into a single whole.

This scenario, according to researchers, well explains why the inner moons of Neptune have very "unstable" orbits, so different sizes and other unusual characteristics.

Creativity knows no bounds in fashion, and in today's world designers work with an array of materials to bring their vision to life. That being said, we've never come across a designer wanting to make a handbag from her own skin. After corresponding with her, it came to light that she got in touch with us after seeing the request from the lady who wanted the dress made from her Mother's hair, and was inspired to do something similar. Before you say 'ew gross!', we've spoken with the woman and her reasoning behind it is actually understandable and very personal.

We thought who are we judge? The designer in question is desperate and struggling to find a professional who can help her, we've helped mock up designs so all we need is someone who has worked with animal skin like leather, and is willing to treat a small amount of human skin and use it to make a handbag. Her budget is £3,000, however she can be flexible.

Screenshots of her original request are below, along with a sketch she has mocked up herself and the designs we have created based on her vision.

Hi there,

I'm a 55 year old woman from Manchester and I'm hoping you can help me. It's looking very likely that I'm going to have my lower left leg amputated soon (I have peripheral arterial disease) and I was reading about the human waste scandal where they just dumped body parts in a dump to rot and I don't want that to happen to me. I was chatting to a friend about leather and how it's essentially just treated animal skin and I had a lightbulb moment – can I use my amputated leg to create something beautiful and useful?

I'm finding out whether I can keep my leg after the surgery and the discussions have been positive so far, so fingers crossed!

If I do get to keep my leg, I'd like to have a professional already lined up to make it into a handbag. I'm thinking a medium sized bag with a short strap and a section down the middle that will be made with my skin and the rest will be made with another material, which can be confirmed later I guess. To demonstrate how I envision the handbag, I've done a drawing of it that's attached. I think a handbag is the most logical route to go down, it's basically the same as a leather handbag but this one is with my skin, it belongs to me so why not?

From my own research the person making this handbag will need to know how to preserve skin like with animal/leather products.

I have £3,000 set aside for this, which I hope is enough. If it's not I can be flexible, but I can't spend a fortune on this unfortunately.

I know it's a bit odd and gross, and some might think I'm crazy, but it's my leg, and I can't bare the thought of it being left to rot somewhere. It's part of me and I want to keep it.

More than happy for you to pass this onto your manufacturers, but would you mind keeping my full name private please? My family aren't exactly happy about my idea to do this.

By the time Joseph Dancet unearthed the human leg bone in the muddy river bank it had been there for almost three years. He stared at the femur for a few moments, desperately trying to make out whether there were any tell-tale cuts or chips that would suggest foul-play.

He eventually pursed his lips and began dialling the local police. They arrived with uncharacteristic efficiency, cordoned off the area, and began an exhaustive finger-tip search of the river bank.

Over the following few days another two human bones were unearthed but precious little else. The police were at a loss. Who could the bones possibly belong to?

Joseph knew. He was convinced they were the bones of Blake Hartley, a British soldier who had disappeared 40 miles upstream in the town of Chamonix two and a half years previously. He knew because two psychic mediums had predicted the time and place that Blake's bones would be found. And extraordinary as it sounds, the mediums' predictions proved to be true.

"The medium Gordon Smith told us that Blake was dead and his remains were in the river about 60 kilometres south of Chamonix." says Sally Perrin, Blake's mother.

"He told us that Blake's body would remain hidden for almost three years and suggested that there was some sort of 'conspiracy' to cover up his true cause of death. Gordon was bang on. He gave us a lot of very accurate information about my son that he couldn't possibly have known,"

"I was never the kind of person to believe in these kinds of psychic happenings but now I'm a convert. It's just extraordinary," she says.

Extraordinary or not, mediums are now being used increasingly often to help solve murders and discover the whereabouts of missing bodies such as Blake's. Sources inside the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) say that officers turn to mediums in the hope, no matter how slim, of discovering new leads in their most intractable cases.
One told the Daily Express: "You see these big tough detectives with years of service behind them and occasionally, when you get them alone, they will admit that they use psychics. It's not something they wish to promote.

"They like the image of rationally solving crimes using science, but in reality they will use psychics if it helps them catch a criminal. They'll never admit in public but yes the police do use psychics."

Blake Hartley was a handsome young man when his mother waved him off to officer training at Sandhurst in 2004. As an intelligent, charismatic and super-fit 24-year-old his superiors expected him to become a fine leader. It was not surprising, therefore, that just two terms into his training he was asked to lead an army training expedition to Chamonix in the French Alps. Blake jumped at the opportunity. It would mean climbing the mountains he loved with the men he respected.

As luck would have it, the team of eight arrived a couple of days after Blake's 25th birthday giving them the opportunity to celebrate it in style. After striking camp, Blake and the lads wandered into the heart of Chamonix to spend an evening sampling fine French food and wine in the local bars and restaurants.

In the early hours of the next morning, Blake separated from the others and headed back to the campsite with a colleague. Blake and the other soldier apparently disagreed on the way home so they each headed in different directions. Ominously, Blake was last seen wandering towards a raging tributary of the river L'Arve. He was never seen alive again.

As soon as Sally heard that her son had disappeared she rushed to Chamonix. She knew that every hour that passed reduced the chances of finding Blake alive. She clung desperately to the hope that Blake had simply wandered off for some inexplicable reason and would turn up safe and sound after a few days. Or perhaps, she reasoned, he was lying injured somewhere near Chamonix and waiting for a rescue team to find him.

"It turned out," says Sally. "That the French didn't put much effort into trying to find him. They were nice but useless. The British Army wasn't much better."

As the days passed into months she turned in despair to the renowned medium Gordon Smith. Gordon immediately warned her that if he made contact with Blake it would mean that he was dead.

He asked her pointedly: "Are you ready for that?"

Sally took a deep breath before replying slowly: "yes".

Gordon made contact with Blake almost immediately.

"The information that I received from Gordon was completely accurate," says Sally. "It wasn't vague. There was lots of information that was private and that he couldn't possibly have known about. It was his way of proving his credentials."

"As an example, Gordon told me that there was a picture close to the telephone of Blake abseiling down an ice-cliff. And there is. I put it up the day before meeting Gordon. Who the heck could have known that?"

"Gordon also said that he could see a gun dog sitting next to Blake, a very happy dog. The description perfectly matched Star, our dog who had passed over a few years earlier. Blake would often take her for a run. He also said that my daughter had received pink bed linen for Christmas that she still hadn't unwrapped it. Who else could have known this?"

Once Blake had established his credentials through Gordon he began revealing what had really happened on the night of his death. Blake appeared to have died in an accident following a scuffle with another man. He refused to say who the man was or how he was killed.

"It was an unfortunate accident," says Sally. "He said that 'mistakes happen' and that there was a code of honour that he was duty bound to follow. He was quite cryptic."

Sally was understandably perplexed and continued to press Blake through Gordon. She was desperate to know who was responsible for her son's death. But Gordon said Blake didn't know how he was killed.

"Gordon then revealed that Blake's body would be found towards the third anniversary of his death and described where it would be found. He was quite specific."

"Blake's body was found by our friend Joseph Dancet in exactly the area described by Gordon."

Sally is clearly convinced that Gordon was able to communicate with her dead son and help clear up the mystery of his death. But the manner of Blake's death is still unclear. The few remains discovered were not enough to establish foul play and police cannot say whether he was murdered or died as the result of an accident. Nevertheless, the fact that Gordon was able to pinpoint where and when Blake would be found is extraordinary.

Sceptics will no doubt claim that Gordon simply got lucky. Throw enough details at someone and some of it is bound to appear superficially accurate. That may be true but some psychics have an amazing track record and Gordon Smith is one of those.

Another is the Irish medium Christine Holohan who was instrumental in tracking down and imprisoning the vicious murderer of Jacqui Poole. The case is no less intriguing and suggestive of an afterlife than that of Blake Hartley.

Jacqui Poole was killed in London in 1983 and her case remained unsolved for nearly 20 years. Shortly after her murder, the medium Christine Holohan began receiving visitations from Jacqui who told her the name of the man who killed her. The amazing story is told in her book A Voice from the Grave.

Christine went to the police but initially received a cool reception. But after she began describing the murder scene and the manner of Jacqui's death the police suddenly took an interest.

"I had been the first officer on the scene," says Detective Constable Tony Batters, a member of the squad investigating the case. "I remained there for many hours. Christine could not have seen it but she managed to describe it just as I found it, including the victim's position, clothing and injuries. She gave us extraordinarily accurate details about the murder scene."

Christine successfully described the killer in great detail, his age and month of birth, his height, skin and hair colour, his tattoos, the type of work he did, and mentioned his criminal history. In total, of the 130 verifiable facts revealed by Christine, 120 proved to be entirely accurate. She also revealed the most important detail of all: that the killer's name was 'Pokie' – the nickname of Anthony Ruark, a local petty criminal.

"It was absolutely spine-chilling," says DC Batters. "We'd already interviewed Ruark but at that moment I knew we'd got our man."

But it was not to be – Pokie had a cast-iron alibi. Try as they might, the police could not pick holes in it. At least, thought the officers, Christine's testimony had allowed them to move much faster and more thoroughly than would normally have been the case. As a result, they had gathered crucial evidence that might prove useful when forensic technology caught up with Christine's psychic abilities.

And eighteen years later Ruark's alibi did finally fall apart. By then, scientists had developed a new way of fingerprinting DNA from the tiniest traces of blood, skin and semen. The evidence gathered as a result of Christine's guidance could finally be put to the test and it proved to be decisive. Ruark was convicted of murdering Jacqui Poole in August 2001.

Although the case of Jacqui Poole and Blake Hartley bear striking similarities do they really prove that it is possible for mediums to talk to the dead?

Patricia Robertson, a researcher at the University of Glasgow, thinks the evidence is on their side. She, along with the astrophysicist Emeritus Professor Archie Roy, have spent many years exhaustively testing mediums, including Gordon Smith.

"There's no doubt about it," says Robertson. "Mediumship works. We are convinced that some mediums can impart to a sitter information about people who have died that they couldn't possibly know in any normally accepted way. I'm not saying that it comes from the dead, but the most plausible explanation is that the information is coming from deceased personalities."

And Sally, too, has all the proof she needs: "Blake is with me. I have become convinced that the body is simply a casket for the soul."

The fear or phobia of being buried alive is widely considered an abnormal psychopathological condition, but this would suggest that it is irrational when in fact it is not. Despite all of our advances in modern medicine there are still those "survivors", which slip through the cracks and find themselves six feet under, sealed in a coffin, and gasping for air. Introducing the very rational fear of being buried alive: taphophobia…

In 1905, British businessman, author, and wide-ranging social reformer William Tebb compiled a lexicon of people that had been buried alive in the previous century. He was able to prove 219 cases of people who were nearly buried alive and 149 people who actually were. Tebb didn't stop there though, he dove straight into the truly terrifying and listed 10 cases of a person being dissected alive and worse yet another 2 cases of people awakening while being embalmed.

Amongst these cases are some spine chilling tales. One such tale tells of a young woman admitted to the hospital for what was suspected to be yellow fever in 1901. Her death was recorded only days later and she was buried in the hospital cemetery.

When a nurse reported unusual findings in her care the body was exhumed. What they found was not one person, but two. The young lady had died in the coffin of asphyxiation and beside her she cradled her newborn daughter who had been born and died alongside her in the coffin.

If accidental cases such as those weren't eerie enough there were many where victims had been intentionally buried alive as a finishing stroke in a plot such as the story of seventeen year old Mary Norah Best.

In 1871 Mary was pronounced dead from cholera by the family's close friend and doctor who it would later be discovered had much to gain from her passing. Her body was entombed in the family vault on the orders of the family doctor, but ten years later the tomb was reopened to admit the body of her recently deceased brother. Upon the opening of the vault they found Mary's body half out of her coffin, the bones of her fingertips carved away from the struggle to escape it, and her head smashed against the stone floor from the fall that followed.

During World War II burying people alive seems to have become a fad for the more ruthless killing of captives. Japanese soldiers during the Nanking Massacre of 1937 are estimated to have intentionally buried over 100,000 people alive as a method of mass execution. In the Ukraine and Belarus the Nazis also employed this method. Lacking the facilities of Auschwitz and other camps it was simply more convenient to bury their captive Jews alive than to kill and dispose of them.

But these are all historical cases, couldn't happen today, right? In 2007 a British soldier fighting in Afghanistan was pronounced dead after a roadside bomb went off killing most of his troop. Luckily this was a near live burial.

As his body was being prepared for transport, meaning put into a body bag, a member of the medical team noticed movement. The soldier was found to be in a coma and was immediately rushed to Birmingham UK for treatment. Most cases of modern false deaths and impending burials are of this sort wherein the victim is found to be alive by some random observation or in many cases simple luck, and of these there are dozens of cases.

Being buried alive whether by accident, intentional, execution, or even under the weight of a natural disaster has become much less of a possibility in the modern era, but it has not vanished all together. The fear of it as spoken in the final words of Polish composer and virtuoso pianist Frédéric Chopin, "The earth is suffocating. … Swear to make them cut me open, so that I won't be buried alive." is very real. So if you do awake to find yourself six feet under, buried alive in a wooden box just remember… you are not alone.

You can easily restore your thyroid levels by following a simple routine. Yoga is the best when it comes to healing safely and naturally.

Yoga may seem like an odd and impossible physical activity, but trust us, it's the best thing you can do to your body. But, some people aren't pretty interested in doing it.

Others are pushed back by the fact that yoga courses are often too pricey.

For most people yoga originates in ancient India. It's an exercise that engages both your body and mind.

Buddhist and Hindu groups engaged yoga for their spiritual meditation, and it was their way of praying. Unfortunately, yoga is only a source of profit in Western countries.

Yoga is powerful

Scientists have found that yoga exercises reduce risks of numerous ailments and even promote psychological healing.

The Asana yoga practice offers a couple of poses that can restore your balance, and improve your thyroid function.

Your thyroid gland regulates the way our immune system reacts to external stress. It determines the influence of toxins on the body.

This gland can easily go out of balance, but that's not an excuse to reach for chemical-laden pills. Do these Asana yoga poses to normalize the function of your thyroid gland in no time.

Sarvanga Asana

Asana stands for "staying still" and sarvanga is the Sanskrit meaning for "entire body." Sarvangasana is a shoulder stand in which your body is set in a still posture.

This pose will regulate your blood circulation and boost your thyroid function. The body is set in an upside down position, and the pressure on the head and the throat works on the performer's pituitary and pineal gland.

How to do it?

Lay on your back, and bring your legs together. Elevate them towards the ceiling, while keeping your palms on the lower back. Elevate your hips off the ground.

Keep your legs straight, and stick the elbows to the ground for extra support.

You will notice how your thyroid gland is pressed against the chin. Hold in this position. Support your weight on your shoulders and biceps. Take deep steady breaths.

Matsya Asana

Matsya Asana means "swimming like a fish in flooded water." It's easy and effective. This position will "fix" your thyroid issue, and strengthen your nervous system.

How to do it?

Lay on your back, and do the lotus position.

Elevate your back off the ground, and bring the top of your get on the ground, while creating an arc with your back.

Make sure you consult your doctor before doing any of the exercises. These poses won't replace the help of a healthcare professional. Adjust the program to your condition, and don't do it if you experience any pain or difficulties.

Japanese women stay healthy and their health appears on their skin and their face. The reasons why they stay slim are very simple. Japan is one of the most beautiful countries widely recognizable for its green mountains, blue sea, vibrant culture as well as its mouth-watering cuisine

Now many people have been asking the same question – how do Japanese women stay so slim and young?

Well it is widely believed that it is their cuisine that keeps them looking in their prime. Down below is a list of 10 reasons that many believe are how Japanese women stay slim and look young:

Drinking Green Tea

Japanese people enjoy drinking green tea, as it is not only delicious, but highly beneficial as well, loaded with antioxidants that fight off free radicals and postpone aging, all while aiding weight loss.

Consuming Fermented Foods

The process of fermentation preserves the natural nutrients in the food and creates beneficial enzymes, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins as well as various strains of probiotics, that help promote friendly intestinal bacteria and break down food to a more digestible form.

Popularity of Seafood

Japanese people also enjoy consuming seafood instead of red meat. While red meat has been linked to a number of health conditions such as obesity, inflammatory diseases and high cholesterol, rice or noodles consumed with seafood are beneficial thanks to their high-quality proteins and essential nutrients that are beneficial for the heart, organs and brain, while promoting smooth skin.

Eating Smaller Portions

Smaller portions make you eat less food and help you lose weight, it is that simple.

Walking is a Ritual

It is embedded in the Japanese culture for both men and women, to walk a lot, as it is the easiest exercise that helps you stay slim and fit, while improving your cardiovascular health, boosting energy and relieving stress.

Go Food is No-No Food

Meal times are considered sacred, which is why Japanese people consider it impolite if you eat on the go. You will never see someone eating on the street or while riding in public transport. And on top of that, while people eat, they don't work or watch TV, they just eat. They also tend to eat slower to allow the stomach to send signals to the brain that it is full.

Healthy Cooking Methods

Not only is the Japanese cuisine made up of healthy ingredients, but healthy cooking methods as well. Raw simmered and grilled techniques predominate in the cuisine, helping avoid the use of excess oil and preserving the taste and nutrients of the ingredients. Also they avoid deep-frying foods.

Practicing Martial Arts

Martial arts are just another exercise that improves cardiovascular health and endurance as well as helps build muscle strength and flexibility.

Hot Spring Baths

Hot spring baths have been known to have healing powers and be beneficial for health, thanks to the temperature of the water as well as its mineral content. Taking a hot spring bath at least twice every month is one of the reasons why Japanese women stay slim and look so young.

Healthy Desserts

While they avoid desserts, Japanese women eat sweets less often, instead they eat fresh fruit.

There are alarming symptoms showing our body has some kind of health problem. Addressing the symptoms at the start may help you stay healthy and treat the issue when it begins. Potassium is a mineral essential for the proper functioning of your overall body. This means that low levels of potassium can have a serious influence on your bodily functions and affect your overall health.

This mineral is very important for the proper functions of the muscles, including the heart.

98% of the potassium resides in the cell, meaning that any small changes in its level will have serious effects on the nerves, muscles, and heart.

Symptoms of Low Potassium Levels in the Body

Constipation
Potassium deficiency can have an influence on many bodily functions including the digestion process. This can result in abdominal bloating and cramping.

However, potassium deficiency is not the only factor that contributes to bloating, so make sure to be careful with the consumption of foods that can cause bloating.

Feeling Bloated All the Time
When your body is deficient in potassium, it struggles to regulate the levels of sodium, which leads to salt-induced bloating.

Heart Palpitations
As we said before, potassium deficiency can affect the health of your heart. It can cause heart palpitations and irregular heartbeat rhythm.

It can also disrupt the rhythmic and coordinated heart contractions controlled by electrical impulses. This means that you should get more potassium so you can protect your heart from heart diseases, strokes, and heart attacks.

High Blood Pressure
Potassium is known for its ability to minimize the effects of sodium. This means that it is extremely important to consume foods rich in potassium so you will be able to control your blood pressure level.

General Fatigue
The general feeling of fatigue is another sign of potassium deficiency. This will make you feel tired not as a result of overworking or overexertion, but of no explainable reason.

In order to be able to function properly, every cell in our body needs potassium, meaning that potassium deficiency can affect the function of the cells and organs.

If you experience some general fatigue while performing your normal daily activities, we recommend you to consult your physician in order to find out the root cause.

Numbness and Tingling
Potassium is an important mineral that can promote the health of the nerves. So, if you are deficient in this mineral, you may experience annoying needles and pins sensation.

It is believed that the immediate ancestors of modern humans, Neanderthals, died out about 40 thousand years ago. The last place of their habitat is the island of Gibraltar, where they did not have to fight with modern people for food. It was there, according to an international group of archaeologists, that a 17-centimeter footprint of one of them was discovered – it is assumed that it was a teenager about 1.26 meters tall. This assumption was made because of the unusual properties of the track and the sand that formulated it.

A footprint was seen in the village of Catalan Bay. Excavations in this area began 10 years ago, and during all this time, researchers found only traces of vertebrates. Archaeologists are sure that they have discovered the Neanderthal footprint – there is a gap of 2 centimeters between the first and second fingers. Assessing how long the trail was exposed to the sun, the researchers found out its age – 29,000 years.

The size of the leg and the estimated growth of the Neanderthal who left the trail allude to the fact that he was a teenager. Perhaps he lived in the cave Gorama in the south-east of the island – this place is considered the most recent place of their habitat. It is noteworthy that this is just the second Neanderthal trail discovered in history – the first one was found in the Romanian cave Vartrop.

According to the Director of the Museum of Gibraltar Clive Finlayson, in the future, archaeologists will discover other interesting fossils in this area. They still have a long work to do – 300 meters of the investigated territory are located under them, which can hide other traces in themselves. There is a small chance that the researchers are wrong – after all, Neanderthals and modern people lived at the same time, and the trace may belong to man.

Recall that recently we have released another material about Neanderthals. Judging by the DNA analysis, two types of people could mate with each other. Moreover, Neanderthals can be among us.

Don't want your child to have a cellphone? One recent study gives you good reason to make kids wait as long as possible for their first mobile device: it appears that radiation from phones can hurt a teenager's memory.

A research team at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute says that radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) may negatively affect an adolescent's brain from cellphone exposure, causing potentially harmful effects on his or her memory performance. The authors say having the device close to one's head lead to the greatest amount of radiation exposure.

The researchers studied nearly 700 public school students in Switzerland between ages 12 and 17. They examined how RF-EMF exposure from mobile phones over a year's time affected memory in the adolescents, and found that memory processed and stored in the right brain hemisphere was particularly worsened. It's believed that participants primarily held the phone up to the right side of their heads when talking, which likely led to the right hemisphere impairment.

"This may suggest that indeed RF-EMF absorbed by the brain is responsible for the observed associations." says Martin Röösli, Head of Environmental Exposures and Health at Swiss TPH, in a statement. "A unique feature of this study is the use of objectively collected mobile phone user data from mobile phone operators."

But Röösli couldn't rule out that puberty and other external factors may also have played a role in memory development among the children. Further research is needed to rule out such factors, as well as to determine what, if any, long-term risks come with radiation exposure from phones.

The authors note that handheld smartphone usage, such as browsing the web, texting, or playing games led to notably less exposure to the radiation and was not believed to impair the participants' memory.

""Potential risks to the brain can be minimized by using headphones or the loud speaker while calling, in particular when network quality is low and the mobile phone is functioning at maximum power," says Röösli.

The study is a follow-up to a report published in 2015 with twice the sample size and more recent information about how the adolescent body absorbs RF-EMF while using different types of mobile devices. The 2015 study showed negative affects of RF-EMF exposure to the parts of the brain exposed while using a mobile cellular device. The new study confirmed these findings. Both of these studies are the first epidemiological studies to estimate the cumulative RF-EMF brain dose in teenagers.

The study was published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. Studyfinds

The black lemonade is amazing when it comes to cleansing. It is powerful and it cleanse the entire system quickly and easily. The best thing is that it is natural and healthy.
 In a world full of toxins that pose serious health threat to each and every one of us, the search for the perfect cleanse escalates with every passing day.
 Cleanses represent a way of purifying your body from toxins and chemicals, by consuming certain natural products that are able to affect the organism in such way.
 The perfect cleanse comes with numerous benefits, including digestive system boost, improved intestinal performance, ameliorated sleeping habits, etc.
 For that reason, we also need to incorporate healthy practices in our everyday, including proper dieting, hydration, no caffeine and alcohol, no cigarettes and meds, and others.
 The benefits of a proper detox are endless, and even the simplest things such as bloating; mind clarity and energy levels will be improved in the process.
 Take a look at these detox tips that will help you get all the benefits you need:

Drink lukewarm lemon water upon waking up.

Eat organic products, as well as cold-pressed vegetable juices.

Eliminate potentially harmful foods, including wheat, cow dairy, refined sugar, inflammatory fats, processed and packaged foods.

Choose natural personal care products.

Dry brush.

Perform Epsom, Himalayan salts detox or even an alka bath.

Hydrate

Limit caffeine intake.

Drink alcohol only when celebrating.

Stress, improper diet and many other environmental factors can affect the body negatively, stuffing it with toxins of all sorts, thus burdening the most vital body organs.

This detox liquid has everything you can ask for and will last you for days. It is also tremendously healthy and organic, which is exactly what you need!
 Dark Arts Elixir
 Due to its main components, filtered water, lemon juice, activated charcoal, pure maple syrup and Himalayan salt, this drink has a strong dark color, and an intense taste.
 When all these ingredients are combined together, the outcome is more than favorable.
 Activated Charcoal
 Let's not mistake barbecue charcoal for activated charcoal. In fact, activated charcoal is non-toxic and its purpose serves in the health department.
 By deoxidizing the charcoal, carbon comes to play, which is the main contributor to clear pores, and poisons/toxins eradication.
 Make sure to do your research properly, so you don't mistake these ingredients and cause even bigger health problems.
 Activated charcoal has found its place in the medical industry and is used to treat drug overdose or poisoning, due to its ability to remove toxins from the body.
 By drinking this elixir for two weeks, the results are bound to impress you- glowing skin, no more bloating, lightness and body energy. To learn how to prepare this drink for yourselves, take a look at the instructions below:
 Dark Arts Elixir
 Amount: 4 servings
 Ingredients:
 — 4 cups filtered water
 — 1/3-1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
 — 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
 — 1 teaspoon (about 3-4 capsules) activated charcoal (available in powder or capsules)
 — Pinch of Himalayan salt
 Preparation:
 First, juice lemons until you drain every last drop from them. Transfer lemon juice to a pitcher.
 Open up capsules gently and pour all contents in the lemon juice pitcher.
 Then, add remaining ingredients to pitcher and stir until everything evens out.
 Drink on an empty stomach, 1hour before breakfast and dinner. Stir well before drinking it.
 Refrigerate and keep for up to 5 days.
 Tips:
 It is best to transfer the liquid in a well-sealed mason jar, shaking it before every use.
 Make sure to go slow, since activated charcoal can cause many detox side-effects, such as headaches, nausea, foggy brain, skin breakouts, irritability and low energy. All these symptoms will eventually fade; you just need some getting used to.
 Activated Charcoal Precautions
 Pregnant women or breastfeeding moms should not use activated charcoal. Consult your doctor to set up a nice regiment if you are taking certain meds as well.
 Don't forget to consume activated charcoal on an empty stomach, since foods can disturb its influence. Keep in mind that activated charcoal can bring a change in color in your stool, so brace yourselves before panicking.

The most surprising ways you can use just a pinch of baking soda. They will change your life.
 It's most important role by far is what benefits it offers your body. And there is certainly no shortage of those.
 How Does One Define It?
 Baking soda's official name is sodium bicarbonate. This is also the compound you can thank for helping your dough rise. It is also useful in other cooking aspects such as helping enrich certain types of food.
 This technique of baking bread with the help of baking soda is a centuries old tradition.
 Baking soda also goes by another name: nahcolite. This is a derivative of a mineral called natron.
 Did you know that the Ancient Egyptians used natron to clean their homes? Even they were aware of baking soda's usefulness!
 Flash forward from ancient times to the year 1846, when John Dwight and Dr. Austin Church created the baking soda we all know and use to this very day!

JOStill, it wasn't until the 20th century (1920 to be more precise) that baking soda began being used for medicinal purposes. We shall be concentrating on those this time around. Here are 11 uses of baking soda for naturally improving your health.
The best part about it is that it is infinitely cheaper than many other medicines, natural or otherwise, and has even been used in cosmetics! Here are the many uses for it, other than treating accidents and injuries. We shall now start the countdown.

A Natural Deodorant

The deodorants you are used to buying in supermarkets and stores contain unhealthy chemicals such as aluminum and parabens. You can easily avoid such heavy compounds by opting for baking soda instead.
 Nothing is simpler than simply brushing baking soda on your feet, underarms or any other problematic area you might have for getting rid of the sweat or any unpleasant smell.

Poison Ivy and Insect Bites

A simple mixture of baking soda and some water makes an excellent paste which efficiently reduces any itching caused by insect bites. All you have to do is apply this homemade paste on the affected area.
 Other than itches, it is also useful for soothing and naturally treating rashes caused by poison ivy – or other similar poisonous plants.

Ulcer Pain, Heartburn and Indigestion

Baking soda is #1 when it comes to treating heartburn, stomach acid, ulcer pain and indigestion.
 What you need to do is mix half a teaspoon of baking soda in ½ glass of water. Drink this healthy mixture every 2 hours, but in case you are over 60, this may be too large of a dose for you, so tone it down a bit.

Exfoliator and Foot Soak

We already mentioned you should apply some baking soda on your feet to get rid of any foul smells, but that is not the only use they can benefit from. Just mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda with some warm water and soak your feet in the solution.
 Another method you can try that is just as effective is making a paste and rubbing it directly on your feet. Whichever works best for you. Using the second one as a foot scrub gives you all the benefits without any side effects, so don't hesitate to give it a shot.
 It cleanses your skin like a charm.

Relaxing Soak

While we're on the subject of soaking, why not soak the entire body? In fact, mixing apple cider vinegar with baking soda is an excellent method for achieving a natural bath 'salt' which cleans, relieves and nourishes your skin!
 Anyone can benefit from this, especially those who suffer from skin allergies and have problems with hives.
 And surprise-surprise, you can leave this solution for a little bit in the tub even after you've gotten out. That way, you're effectively cleaning your tub as well!

Cleansing Your Hands

It can even be a DIY natural soap. Just combine one part of water with three parts baking soda and then use it to clean your hands of any dirt or unwanted odors.

Remove Splinters

That's right. This is something baking soda is also good for. What you need to do is add 1 tablespoon of baking soda in a small glass filled with water. Use this mixture on the affected area twice a day. It will only take a few days for the splinters to naturally come off.
 You won't have to be bothered with doing painful 'home surgery' (which may only lead to further complications) ever again!

Sunburn Treatment

And we all know how painful that can be. Here's a nice homemade solution for it. Add half a cup of baking soda in lukewarm water. Then pour this mixture into a bath tub and lie in the tub to soothe any heavy-degree sunburns.
 Or, if soaking is not your thing for some reason, you can always use this other method. Dip a cloth or towel in the same mix and directly apply it to the affected area.

Boost Your Sports Performance

Did you know that a great number of professional athletes use baking soda capsules to improve their performances? They are a well-known energy booster, after all. Still, if you wish to try this, better do some proper research first.

Gum and Tooth Paste

You may even be familiar with the teeth-cleaning method using baking soda thanks to all the benefits it has. However, having said that, you should be extremely mindful no to overuse baking soda as there is indeed too much of a good thing.
 Baking soda, although extremely healthy, is a rather abrasive substance which, if taken in large quantities and too often, can damage your dental health instead of improving it.
 But don't get scared, all you need to be is cautious, and it's best not to brush your teeth with it more than once on a weekly basis. It's excellent for removing plaque and getting rid of all kinds of unhealthy oral bacteria, much more than any other toothpaste bought in any supermarket.
 All you do is mix one part salt with 6 parts baking soda. Place them in a blender for 30 seconds and then fill a tube with them. You don't even need a brush, simply use a (well-cleaned) index finger to massage your gums with them for a short while.
 Then wait about 15 minutes for the paste to do its magic before thoroughly rinsing your mouth. Once again, just make sure not to overdo it!

Whitens Your Teeth Too

Yup. So, other than the benefits we mentioned above it also gives your pearly whites an even 'pearlier' look. What you need for this is to combine a ripe strawberry with half a teaspoon of baking soda.
 Apply directly on your teeth and let it sit for about 5 minutes before once again rinsing thoroughly. In order to prevent hurting the enamel of your teeth, once a week is more than enough.
 Here's a fun fact which you may or may not have known: the baking soda has been used to clean the Statue of Liberty back during its restoration in 1986! So surely it is good enough for use in your kitchen, for all kinds of dirty surfaces!
 A mixture of baking soda and apple cider vinegar is the ideal chemical-free cleaning agent for your bathroom as well! Then there's cleaning the grill, or any toys if you have young children. You can even sprinkle it on carpets before doing your regular vacuuming for better results.
 Just make sure to let it sit for about 15 minutes. Even your silverware and cutlery can regain their natural shine and sparkle by using baking soda to clean them. The possibilities are nearly endless.

We are already pointing out that the body sends signals when it is having some kind of problem. Here you can read about the problem the body sends when it has burnt out adrenals. You can see the warning signs, learn to recognize them and treat them properly.
 Adrenal burnout occurs as a result of improper adrenal gland performance that can lead to strangely low cortisol and hormone imbalance.
 Is Adrenal Fatigue a Hoax?
 Many doctors would have you believe that adrenal fatigue is a downright lie. Because it is not recognized by medicine, due to the medical inability to treat it with drugs, adrenal fatigue has become a problem to solve.
 Basically, this condition entails disrupted or no communication between the adrenal glands and the brain.
 There are two adrenal glands, located above each kidney. Their main task is to produce cortisol and sex hormones. Aside, from this, the adrenal glands take care of the stress levels, hormone levels, thyroid function, sleep process, sex drive, and metabolism.
 In cases where stress has overcome the body, hormones become bewildered in a way and refuse to work properly.
 Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is released from the hypothalamus. CRH is responsible for triggering the release of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Furthermore, ACTH regulates the release of cortisol, which ultimately regulates the stress levels in the body.
 Cortisol also balances the blood sugar and blood pressure, especially by raising them in stressful and threatening situations.
 However, persistent stress makes the hormones overwork themselves to the point of imbalance and complications. Since serotonin is vaguely diminished once cortisol is raised, you could feel sensations of sadness, depression and anxiety.
 Adrenal fatigue comes along with numerous symptoms, including insomnia, anxiety, fatigue, or brain fogginess.
 At times, if you go to your doctor for these symptoms, they will medicate you with insomnia drugs, or perhaps even antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds.
 Make sure to recognize these symptoms well, so you know when the adrenal glands are suffering:

Fatigue

Weight gain

Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea

Sugar and/or salt cravings

The "3pm crash"

Brain fog

Subjection to illness

Inability to deal with stress

Insomnia or wondering around the house at 4am, feeling restless

Anxiety

Depression

PMS/hot flashes associated with menopause

Lack of focus

Low sex drive

Adrenal Fatigue Triggers
 Many factors can contribute to the occurrence of adrenal fatigue. Let's look at all of them separately:
 -Emotional stress- this is the main trigger in around 95% of all cases. Whether it is a family-related problem or a tragedy, even a job loss and injury, stress has become the most silent killer of all.
 -Diet- consuming processed foods, excessive amounts of coffee/caffeine, different eating regimes, processed sugars, low-nutrient meals, can all lead to severe adrenal gland harm.
 -Pain, chronic inflammation
 -Microbiome imbalance and digestive infections, including h pylori, dysbiosis, SIBO, candida, parasites
 — Too little sleep
 — Autoimmune conditions
 People with somewhat more intense lifestyles, working several jobs, worrying all the time, having no or little sleep are most likely to suffer adrenal fatigue. When the body is unable to handle excess stress, it works itself up and 'burns out.'
 This leads to low levels of cortisol as well as disturbance of the PMS symptoms, since the adrenal glands try to make up for the lost hormones, by borrowing other ones such as progesterone.
 This is actually why some infertility problems occur. At times, you will experience thinner hair, or constipation, or incapability to sleep.It means the body used up all its resources and is still struggling to produce cortisol
 How to Prevent or Stop Adrenal Burn Out

Test cortisol levels through saliva

Get an 8 hour sleep

Set up eating time without rescheduling it

Increase calorie intake

consume healthy fats, and nutrient-rich foods

Limit your coffee intake

Introduce probiotic foods to your diet

take minerals and vitamin C

consume adaptogenic herbs

Increase your B vitamin intake

rethink your job or personal life stress

A saliva cortisol test will actually show you where your levels are at. It takes 4 samples of saliva throughout the day to monitor the oscillations of cortisol. Both high and low cortisol is treated differently so pay close attention to the results.
 Next, the diet. Make sure you increase your intake on protein-rich foods, like wild fish, grass fed beef, lamb, and eggs.
 Also, include mineral-rich vegetables including sea veggies as well.
 Sea salt works wonders for the cortisol levels, as well.
 Aside from this, you'll need good fats, such as coconut oil, butter, olive oil; bone broth, organ meats, and raw kraut/probiotic foods.
 The next thing you need to do is set up healthy daily diet, based on plenty of:
 Vitamin C
 Adaptogenic herbs, like GAIA, maca root, adrenatone, and/or licorice root
 Minerals
 B vitamins
 certain nutrients, such as phosphatidylserine, which improve the sleep
 Make sure to create a habit-like regime for your body.
 Try to eat at the same time, with meals divided between four hours. Find a way to get to bed no later than 10pm or 11pm. Keep your blood sugar levels in mind.
 Steer clear of refined foods, gluten, white sugar, sodas, coffee and make sure you don't skip meals.
 Get your daily dose of probiotics in check, by consuming more products like raw kraut or coconut water kefir.
 Remember that refined white flour and sugar increases the blood sugar levels, stressing the adrenal glands as a result.
 Products that can help are various types of adaptogenic herbs, including maca, rhodiola, schizandra, ashwaganda, licorice root and holy basil.
 Make sure you work on your stress sources and fix any broken relationships you might be nurturing. Take time to yourself to relax and enjoy life as it is. Engage your body into doing an activity it likes, instead an activity that exhausts it.
 Also, don't forget to do all test necessary to determine the adrenal glands status.

Have you heard about keratosis pilaris? Probably not. If you don't know what it is maybe you can relate to what actually does to the body. Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition that affects 40% of people across the world. It appears as dry, rough and tiny bumps that resemble goose bumps or chicken skin. Though it is a harmless skin condition, it can be embarrassing and socially damaging.
 Keratosis Pilaris develops when excess keratin (a type of protein essential for hair growth) combines with dead skin cells and clogs up the hair follicle. The reason behind the excess build-up is still unknown. People with dry skin are more prone to this skin condition because they have excess loose dry flakes. This is the reason why KP gets worse during winters and gets controlled in summer.
 Though this skin condition is non-curable, it can be controlled at a great level by moisturizing and exfoliating. This can be easily achieved through natural ingredients like oatmeal, coconut oil or olive oil without any side effects.
 Effectiveness of Oatmeal as a remedy for Keratosis Pilaris
 Oatmeal contains saponins which are effective natural cleansers. They remove the dirt, debris and unclog hair follicles without disturbing the skin's barrier.
 Avenanthramides present in colloidal oatmeal are excellent antioxidant compounds which reduce the inflammation, redness, and irritation caused by keratosis pilaris.
 It is rich in polysaccharides which contain gel-like texture. This gel acts as a protective layer over the skin to lock in the moisture which helps to prevent dry and itchy skin (a common symptom of KP).
 How to Use Oatmeal for Keratosis Pilaris
 There are different ways of using oatmeal for treating keratosis pilaris. We have mentioned them below for your convenience. Choose any one among them and try it regularly to get relief from keratosis pilaris.

Oatmeal Bath

Oatmeal bath is a simple way to moisturize the skin and reduce itchiness. Either whole oatmeal or oatmeal powder can be used for this method.
 To a bathtub of lukewarm water, add a handful of oatmeal or oatmeal powder.
 Soak in the bath for about 15 minutes.
 Shower and pat yourself dry with a smooth cotton towel.
 Repeat this 3 times a week.
 Note: For further relaxing effect, add a tablespoon of honey and a cup of milk to the bath.

Oatmeal Scrub

This process gently scrubs off the accumulated dead skin cells and unclogs the hair follicles. It also helps to reduce the keratin production and appearance of tiny bumps.
 Mix 2 tablespoons of oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of milk.
 Apply this paste to the affected area and gently massage for few minutes.
 Leave it on about for 15 minutes.
 Wash off the application with water and pat it dry.
 Repeat this 3 times a week.

Oatmeal and Baking Soda Scrub

Being a great exfoliator, baking soda removes dead skin cells and reduces the appearance of tiny bumps.
 Mix equal amounts of baking soda and oatmeal (maybe 2 tablespoons each depending on the area of application).
 Add enough warm water to it and stir with a spoon.
 Set the bowl aside for 5 minutes.
 Now, apply the mixture to the affected area and massage gently for a few minutes.
 Rinse the application with warm water followed by cold water.
 Repeat this 2-3 times a week.

Oatmeal, Lemon and Honey

Lemon gets absorbed into the skin and pumps out the excess keratin clogging the hair follicles. It also reduces pigmentation and evens out the skin. The humectant properties of honey lock in the moisture and hydrate the skin.
 In a bowl, mix ¾ cup of oatmeal, a small amount of water, ¼ cup each of honey and lemon juice.
 For an even consistency, you can also blend this in a coffee blender.
 Apply this to your face or any area affected by keratosis pilaris.
 Massage gently for a couple of minutes before washing off with warm water.
 Repeat this 2-3 times a week.

Oatmeal and Coconut Oil

Coconut oil consists of lauric acid which breaks down the keratin blocking the hair follicles and sets the follicles free.
 To ½ cup of oatmeal, add 1 tablespoon honey, ¼ cup each of powdered sugar and melted coconut oil.
 Mix well and apply it to the affected area.
 Scrub gently with your fingers for 4-5 minutes.
 Leave it for about 30 minutes before washing it away with cold water.
 Repeat this once every week.

Oatmeal and Olive Oil

Olive oil is rich in vitamin E which removes the excess keratin clogging the hair follicles. It also helps to rejuvenate the damaged skin.
 In a bowl, mix 1 cup of oatmeal, ¼ cup each of olive oil, sugar and honey.
 Apply this mixture to the affected area and scrub gently for a couple of minutes.
 Let it sit for 10 minutes and then wash off with warm water.
 Repeat this 1-2 times a week.
 Note: For more paste like consistency, you can heat the mixture for 30 seconds before applying it to the face.

Oatmeal Brown Sugar Mask

Brown sugar is a great exfoliator and a hydrating agent. Its smaller grain size is effective against sensitive face skin.
 Using a coffee blender, grind 1 tablespoon of oatmeal and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
 To this mixture, add 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of Jojoba oil along with a drop of lavender oil and mix to form a paste.
 Wet your face first and then apply the paste on your face.
 Using your finger, gently scrub in circular motion for 5 minutes.
 Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes before washing it off with warm water.
 Repeat the process several times in a week.

Oatmeal Soap

Most of the soaps present in the market have chemicals that can worsen the keratosis pilaris. Instead of them it is better to use a non-toxic DIY oatmeal soap. This soap helps soothes the skin, evens the bumps, moisturizes and reduces itchiness.
 Below is the detailed step-by-step description for making a homemade oatmeal soap.
 Using a microwave or double boiler, melt 2 lb Shea butter soap base.
 Once melted, remove from the heat.
 Add a cup of oats, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons of almond oil into it and stir thoroughly.
 Now pour the mixture into a small mold and allow it to cool down for about 4-5 hours. (You can freeze it in the refrigerator if you want to quicken the process.)
 After the soap is hard enough, take it out of the molds and slice off uneven sides/ edges.
 Use it to scrub/wash your body daily during the bath.
 Note: You can use grounded oatmeal powder if you are concerned about the oats clogging the drain.

There are some places on this planet that make us realize just how little we actually know, not just about the paranormal but the laws of physics as well. A patch of desert near the Bolson de Mapimi in Mexico known most commonly as the Mexico's Zone of Silence or the Mapimí Silent Zone is one such place.

It's not a large section of land, and that's probably a good thing as any type of signal, radio or otherwise immediately vanishes when you enter. Welcome to the Trino Vortex…

Mexico's Zone of Silence was first noticed in 1930 when Francisco Sarabia, an ace civilian pilot of some notoriety in Mexico was flying his Conquistador del Cielo plane over the area and reported that his instruments went wild, and all communication equipment went dead entirely.

Not much was thought of it until in the 1970s when the Americans launched a Lockheed Martin Athena rocket, which inexplicably was dragged off course to the region now known as Mexico's Zone of Silence where it crashed.

The lost Athena rocket was carrying two small containers of cobalt 57, a radioactive element, and this prompted an immediate response from the Americans. The Mexican government granted access to the USAF who then constructed a road for the removal of the rocket along with further study of the soil and region as a whole.

The apparent cause of the crash itself was determined as a complete loss of all communication relays onboard the rocket. Why it veered off course to the Zone of Silence could not be determined.

While pop culture has placed UFO and Bermuda triangle type phenomenon on the region in abundance, the reality is that there are numerous anomalies being studied and recorded, none of which match those sort.

The most mundane although still unusual enough to be considered an anomaly is the presence of exceptional amounts of magnetite and uranium deposits. When these two are combined there is the definite possibility for electromagnetic pulses to be emitted. That may rule out the loss of communication devices, but the other "anomalies" get much weirder.

Since the Athena crash in the 70s the Mexican authorities have established a research facility in the Mexican Zone of Silence, which many speculate is in fact a joint facility shared with the United States Air Force, and there is some evidence to this as the Americans refer to the location as the "Trino Vertex Facility".

The Mexican authorities refer to the facility as the "Mapimi Biosphere Reserve". The facility's primary function is the study of mutations amongst the local flora and fauna and well as the animal population, but they are also studying "spatial and temporal distribution of human populations and land use in the MapimI Biosphere Reserve". That's right… the people allowed to live on the land are the subject of research and "spatial and temporal" experimentation.

A complete understanding of the causes have not been reached, however many have drawn connections between the Mexican Zone of Silence and another tremendous event that occurred over the skies of Mexico not far from Mapimi in the 1960s. On February 8, 1969 a massive fireball entering the Earth's atmosphere over Mexico was witnessed by thousands as far as San Antonio Texas.

This was the Allende meteorite weighing approximately two metric tons. Fortunately for the entire human species the meteorite was comprised mostly of calcium and other soft rock, which allowed it to break apart but not disintegrate in our upper atmosphere.

To this day we have only located an estimated 10% of the meteorites fragments, but from these we have determined that it is one of the oldest substances in the universe that we know of, older than our solar system. The Allende meteorite itself was formed at minimum 4.6 billion years ago.

Consider the implications of this coincidence – that one of the oldest formed objects in existence fell from the sky almost directly above Mexico's Zone of Silence weighing two tons, then 90% of it vanished.

The Elon Musk-backed nonprofit company OpenAI declines to release research publicly for fear of misuse

The creators of a revolutionary AI system that can write news stories and works of fiction – dubbed "deepfakes for text" – have taken the unusual step of not releasing their research publicly, for fear of potential misuse.

OpenAI, an nonprofit research company backed by Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, Sam Altman, and others, says its new AI model, called GPT2 is so good and the risk of malicious use so high that it is breaking from its normal practice of releasing the full research to the public in order to allow more time to discuss the ramifications of the technological breakthrough.

At its core, GPT2 is a text generator. The AI system is fed text, anything from a few words to a whole page, and asked to write the next few sentences based on its predictions of what should come next. The system is pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible, both in terms of the quality of the output, and the wide variety of potential uses.

When used to simply generate new text, GPT2 is capable of writing plausible passages that match what it is given in both style and subject. It rarely shows any of the quirks that mark out previous AI systems, such as forgetting what it is writing about midway through a paragraph, or mangling the syntax of long sentences.

Feed it the opening line of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four – "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen" – and the system recognises the vaguely futuristic tone and the novelistic style, and continues with:

"I was in my car on my way to a new job in Seattle. I put the gas in, put the key in, and then I let it run. I just imagined what the day would be like. A hundred years from now. In 2045, I was a teacher in some school in a poor part of rural China. I started with Chinese history and history of science."

Feed it the first few paragraphs of a Guardian story about Brexit, and its output is plausible newspaper prose, replete with "quotes" from Jeremy Corbyn, mentions of the Irish border, and answers from the prime minister's spokesman.

One such, completely artificial, paragraph reads: "Asked to clarify the reports, a spokesman for May said: 'The PM has made it absolutely clear her intention is to leave the EU as quickly as is possible and that will be under her negotiating mandate as confirmed in the Queen's speech last week.'"

From a research standpoint, GPT2 is groundbreaking in two ways. One is its size, says Dario Amodei, OpenAI's research director. The models "were 12 times bigger, and the dataset was 15 times bigger and much broader" than the previous state-of-the-art AI model. It was trained on a dataset containing about 10m articles, selected by trawling the social news site Reddit for links with more than three votes. The vast collection of text weighed in at 40 GB, enough to store about 35,000 copies of Moby Dick.

The amount of data GPT2 was trained on directly affected its quality, giving it more knowledge of how to understand written text. It also led to the second breakthrough. GPT2 is far more general purpose than previous text models. By structuring the text that is input, it can perform tasks including translation and summarisation, and pass simple reading comprehension tests, often performing as well or better than other AIs that have been built specifically for those tasks.

That quality, however, has also led OpenAI to go against its remit of pushing AI forward and keep GPT2 behind closed doors for the immediate future while it assesses what malicious users might be able to do with it. "We need to perform experimentation to find out what they can and can't do," said Jack Clark, the charity's head of policy. "If you can't anticipate all the abilities of a model, you have to prod it to see what it can do. There are many more people than us who are better at thinking what it can do maliciously."

To show what that means, OpenAI made one version of GPT2 with a few modest tweaks that can be used to generate infinite positive – or negative – reviews of products. Spam and fake news are two other obvious potential downsides, as is the AI's unfiltered nature . As it is trained on the internet, it is not hard to encourage it to generate bigoted text, conspiracy theories and so on.

Instead, the goal is to show what is possible to prepare the world for what will be mainstream in a year or two's time. "I have a term for this. The escalator from hell," Clark said. "It's always bringing the technology down in cost and down in price. The rules by which you can control technology have fundamentally changed.

"We're not saying we know the right thing to do here, we're not laying down the line and saying 'this is the way' … We are trying to develop more rigorous thinking here. We're trying to build the road as we travel across it."

Penicillium: It is frequently contained on floor coverings, backdrops, rotting textures, and fiberglass channel protection, and prompts hypersensitivities and asthma. The anti-microbial penicillin is one of those animal categories that create mycotoxins.

Stachybotrys: This profoundly dangerous "black mold" makes mycotoxins that prompt different medical problems, as extreme breathing troubles and seeping of the lungs. It is less normal yet can be found on paper and wood surfaces.

Any kind of mold presentation may lead to a mold disease, which is really an arrangement of medical problems.

As indicated by Mayo Clinic:

"Despite the fact that mold hypersensitivity is the most widely recognized issue caused by introduction to shape, mold can result in a disease without an unfavorably allergic response. Mold can likewise cause infections or toxic and irritant responses. Infections caused by mold can prompt an assortment of issues from influenza like side effects to skin diseases and even pneumonia. "

Mold poisonous quality is a serious issue too, and it is otherwise called a Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS).

CIRS, as indicated by Ritchie Shoemaker, MD, the creator of Surviving Mold: Life in the Era of Dangerous Buildings, speaks to:

"an intense and interminable, systemic fiery reaction gained following presentation to the inside condition of a water-harmed working with inhabitant toxigenic living beings, including, however not constrained to actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and Mycobacterium and also inflammagens… "

These are the 10 most basic manifestations of mold ailment:

Excessive thirst and expanded urination
Headaches, memory issues, focus issues, cerebrum mist
Numbness and shivering
Eye issues, for example, red eyes or light affectability
Asthma and sinus issues, including a hack or shortness of breath
Metallic taste in the mouth
Digestive issues, including stomach torment, diarrhea, craving changes, nausea
Unexplained muscle cramping, hurts, and joint torment, diligent nerve torment
Temperature control or night sweats
Tremors and vertigo

Our grandparents used to rely on natural remedies more than on pills, like we do today. So here you can read about remedies which you will probably think of them as bizarre, but we assure you that they actually work.
 1.Raisins for Arthritis
 YES, you got that right! You can use raisins to ease the symptoms of arthritis! It's very simple – you just have to soak golden raisins overnight in a couple of spoonful of gin. The vitamins from the raisins mixed with the anti-inflammatory effects of the juniper berries used to make gin will help reduce swelling and ease your pain. And don't worry, you won't get drunk!
 Celery for Bad Breath
 Can I ask you something – did you know that, according to many grandmas, celery is the answer for bad breath? You don't have to spend money on packets of gum, just stick a bunch of celery in your mouth, give it a good chew and your bad breath will dissipate.
 Lemons for Earache
 This is another effective combo. You'll be amazed when we tell you that if you squeeze some lemon juice onto an ear bud and pop it into your ear for a minute, you can alleviate the problems of an earache. The lemon juice will stabilize pH levels in your ears.
 Nettles Cure Hair Loss
 First of all, you should know that nettle leaves contain high amounts of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, and beta-carotene and high amounts of the vitamins A, C, D, and B complex. Many of these vitamins and minerals are great for hair growth and hair maintenance. How this works – well, our hair is mostly made up of proteins so it's no wonder nettle leaves can help keep it strong, luxurious, and on our heads! Here's what you need to do – first, you bring a water to boil (1 cup). Then, you need to put 4-6 nettle leaves in a mug, pour the hot water over, and enjoy! Nettle leaves are high in silica which can be harmful at high doses, so don't consume high amounts!
 Yams for Menopause
 Yams are high in vitamin C, contain some vitamin A which will help balance out your hormones and tons of dietary fiber which will help lower cholesterol!
 Olives for Motion Sickness
 How this works – well, olives are high in tannins, which can help stop the production of too much saliva. We all know that feeling you get before you're going to be sick or when your feeling ill, with too much saliva in your mouth, it's disgusting!
 Baking Soda for a Urinary Tract Infection
 You can also add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water and feel the UTI symptoms disappear in no time. The baking soda actually annoys the infection and makes your bladder more alkaline which prevents the harmful bacteria from multiplying. But, if the symptoms are consistent or extremely painful, then you should see your doctor immediately.
 Dried Apricots for Indigestion
 You should know that dried apricots are super high in dietary fiber which helps your stomach digest its food and prevents bloating. So if you're not feeling too good after your meals then shove a handful of apricots in your mouth and carry on with your day!
 Potatoes for Spider Bites
 How this works – raw potatoes are meant to have anti-itch and anti-inflammatory properties, exactly what you will need after being bitten by a spider. How to use it – just wrap a raw, sliced potato is a bandage or thin cloth then gently rub it on the affected area for a few minutes.

In Florida, a large alligator tried to enter a residential building, according to UPI.

A resident of Florida, while at home, heard a knock, opened the front door and found there an intruder – a huge alligator who blocked the doorway. Its length was about 3.2 meters.

The neighbors tried to drive him away from the apartment building, but found the animal too aggressive and called the rescue service.

A catcher arrived at the scene, the alligator was caught. His weight was about 160 kilograms.

"This is the biggest predator we have seen in the last twenty years," said one of the woman's neighbors.

Tourism is the backbone of the Florida economy. In 2018, 95 million tourists visited the state, which is 6% more than in 2017. Travelers from Russia are attracted there by an excellent climate, a developed infrastructure, and an abundance of theme parks. In addition, there is a direct flight from Moscow to Miami, the flight takes about 13 hours.

Many natural phenomena that occur on our planet still remain unexplored mysteries.

A man, only 60 years ago, sank to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, having discovered there previously unknown species of fish and other deep-water animals. In this article we will tell about another mystery of the Blue Planet.

In 2016, people around the world began to hear strange sounds, like an unintelligible hum, noise and rumbling. Curiously, the sounds came from somewhere in the depths of our planet. Those who heard these strange sounds say that they caused them great discomfort and panic, and some of them who are especially sensitive even fell into deep depression, ending their lives in suicide.

The rumble of the Earth is a scientifically proven and documented event, but its causes are still unknown. But scientists have an explanation for why some people felt ill at ease because of this noise. The thing is that this is a very low frequency sound that can affect the work of the brain and the organism as a whole, an irrational feeling of anxiety and fear.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time, such events have already been documented in the 70s and 90s, but in scale the last rumble is the greatest. Specialists have created a map on which they marked those parts of the planet where people heard the underground rumbling. It turned out that this happened almost across the globe, with the exception of the Northeast part of Eurasia. The noise was almost absent in Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan.

Today, scientists have identified several possible causes of this anomaly. Firstly, it can be the standard activity of magma and the nucleus, which weakens with time, then increases. The Earth is a rather young planet with a hot core, which produces enormous amounts of energy, and its tectonic plates are constantly in motion.

The second explanation is the release of energy to the sun. The fact is that something constantly happens on the Sun too, and if you don't go into details, then we can say that solar activity has increased slightly in recent years. These are normal drops of activity and radiation, which, entering our atmosphere, create sound waves. These waves and explains the strange noise.

Another hypothesis suggests that the hum is due to the beginning of the inversion of the magnetic poles of our planet. This happens once every several hundred thousand years and means that the south and north magnetic poles of the planet change places.

Far from science, people say that underground noise foreshadows the onset of the apocalypse, because in many religious teachings the end of the world was accompanied by peals of thunder and crash. And lovers of conspiracy theories say that all this is a trick of the American installation HAARP, which changes the climate on our planet and leads to irreversible consequences.

In Queenslow, Australian paleontologists have discovered a path of fossilized dinosaur footprints.

It is noted that this is the most distinct dinosaur prints found in Australia.

According to scientists, this is the path along which representatives of three different types of dinosaurs "sauropods, ornithopods and theropods" "traveled". Researchers say that such a neighborhood is incredibly rare.

The biggest mark left zauropod. Traces of ornithopod and theropod turned out to be much smaller.

The age of the find is estimated at about 95 Ma. The length of the path exceeds 40 meters, which makes it the longest of the known.
