These observations also predict that a true ground-breaking advance in the brain science needs a hardware breakthrough, namely chronically implanted, ultra-high-density wireless (CI-UHD-WL) ECoG system, and its collective database to perform data mining. However, the field of EEG research does not seem to realize this fact and possibility. Finally, I will discuss a thought experiment of launching a venture company that sells ECoG dogs whose minds owners can read with smartphones.
Current Tanker status: 2 ships confirmed seized by Iran within 30 minutes of each other. 1 of those 2 has just been released & is now moving away from Iran. Lots of rumors floating the net regarding other ships, but nothing else has been confirmed.
“So why are we protecting the shipping lanes for other countries (many years) for zero compensation,” Trump said on Twitter. “All of these countries should be protecting their own ships on what has always been a dangerous journey.”

Anything happening ?

A massive citadel built atop a 150-foot-tall hill of solid rock looms over Aleppo's old quarter. Fortresses have risen above this northern Syrian city since Roman times. But at the heart of the citadel, amid ruins of Ottoman palaces and hidden behind high walls that date to the Crusader era, a team of German and Syrian archaeologists is clearing debris from a large pit that shows this hilltop was significant long before the Romans arrived. Here, amid clouds of dust, a battered basalt sphinx and a lion—both standing seven feet tall—guard the entrance to one of the great religious centers of ancient times, the sanctuary of the storm god Adda.
At work since 1996, the team is just now wrapping up excavations and preparing the site for the construction of a museum supported by the World Monuments Fund and the Agha Khan Trust.
Aleppo's ancient origins still lie hidden under the citadel and surrounding city. But as early as 2400 B.C., the rulers of the prosperous city of Ebla made a 35-mile pilgrimage here to what likely was a modest place of worship where sacrifices were offered to Adda

Again I think the origins of these designs go way farther back then we realize.

"dangerous journey"
“So why are we protecting the shipping lanes for other countries (many years) for zero compensation,” Trump said on Twitter. “All of these countries should be protecting their own ships on what has always been a dangerous journey.”
Now think. The World stage, who owns who here ? Why get pushed around ? just my thoughts, TGIF

Oh how I wish President Trump had said those words to reporters yesterday in the Oval Office, instead of being apologetic for the "Send Her Back" chant from his supporters.
They can say what they want, just like AOC/Omar/Rashida (Impeach the MuthaFuker) Tlaib, can and do say what they want. ALL Americans have the same rights.
In fact, I hope the President comes before the cameras to say this, instead of Tweeting. Most Americans never see his Tweets, unless the MSM makes them news...like this past weekend.
I was a little upset and quite disappointed with President Trump yesterday, for appeasing media azzholes, and throwing his supporters under the bus.. "It was them saying it...not me!" He Sounded like a damn Democrat.
A temple (from the Latin 'templum') is a structure usually built for the purpose of, and always dedicated to, religious or spiritual activities including prayer, meditation, sacrifice and worship.
Early temples were constructed on sites which the people felt had a numinous quality to them which indicated the presence of a god, gods, or spirits.
Egyptian temple followed the same basic design (thought to have been decreed by the gods themselves) of a forecourt and reception area for public gatherings with colonnades and inclines rising higher and higher to smaller and even smaller rooms until one reached the room of the Holy of Holies where the god was thought to reside when visiting earth. Only the high priest of the god of the temple could enter the Holy of Holies and commune with the deity there.
In Judaism, the original ancient Hebrew language refers not to a 'temple' but to a "sanctuary", "palace" or "hall". Each of the two ancient temples in Jerusalemwere called Beit Hamikdash, which translates literally as "the Holy House" and, in this, the Hebrews either copied or independently arrived at the same conception of a temple that the ancient Egyptians had: that the temple was the house of the god.
As the struggle among European powers widened, the islands continued to function as a battleground. In 1650, Spanish forces from Puerto Rico overran the British garrison on St. Croix. Soon after, the Dutch invaded; in 1653, the island fell into the hands of the Knights of Malta, who gave St. Croix its name.
Is the Ark of the Covenant on St. Croix Island? What lead the Knights of Malta to St. Croix?
This little seventeen year "hick-up" of missing records, exposed a much larger missing chunk of records dating from 1650 to about 1680. This was really a shock considering how the Knights went out of their way to keep their treasured written past archives safe. This small, innocuous detail of the missing thirty years, is a massively dark crevasse waiting to explode, on many levels. All I am doing is shining the light into that darkness.
And to add more to the mystery (or hype) it was these very same years - to the date - that the Knights went to the Caribbean and eventually end up on St. Croix Island, Salt River Bay, to be exact. Make no mistake, my bread crumb line is 99% fact based presumptions, not myths or hidden agendas.
The CIA is pushing for an expansion of a 37-year-old law that would deter journalists from covering national security issues or reporting on leaked documents. Thanks to a disillusioned CIA case officer's actions in 1975, there are currently a few limits to what can or can't be reported about covert operatives working overseas.
Unfortunately, someone who has stood up for the press for years is allowing this amendment -- attached to the 2020 budget bill -- to move forward. Rep. Adam Schiff -- the co-founder of the Congressional Caucus for Freedom of the Press -- has done nothing to push back against this expansion of the IIPA.
Former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden was weaving in and out of the aisles, searching for spaghetti sauce for his wife, Jill, who was already in line.
