Transhumanism, Stargates Watchers
Researcher Tom Horn outlined connections between transhumanism, the #39;Watchers, #39; and stargates. Interestingly, transhumanism, which involves human enhancement through such fields as biotech, appears in ancient texts, he said. Repeatedly, he ran across the idea of god-like beings (or the Watchers) coming down to Earth and genetically tinkering with humans, as well as blending different species together. Classical mythology may have been a crude record of these blending experiments, he noted. Horn postulated the Watchers needed to blend human/animal forms in order to create a suitable body to extend themselves-- a regular human spirit wouldn #39;t enter such a hybrid form. Now, developments in fields such as biotechnology could be leading to a new mechanism for the Watchers return, he cautioned. Stargates or wormholes may be used by advanced beings to traverse through dimensions, time, and vast distances, said Horn. He recounted details from the epic tale of Nimrod, a giant who #39;d undergone a transformation and built the Tower of Babel as a kind of stargate. Horn also discussed prophecy, the Mayans and 2012. Biography: Tom Horn is a researcher and freelance writer whose Raiders News Update reports have been referred to by writers of the LA Times Syndicate, MSNBC, Christianity Today, World Net Daily, White House Correspondents and dozens of news magazines and press agencies around the globe. Tom has appeared on numerous programs worldwide and once served as national spokesperson ...From:DiscloseTruthTVViews:54 5ratingsTime:01:18:06More inEducation

Let #39;s Play Deus Ex: Human Revolution Ep. 2
(Mature)(Casual)(Commentary) Cyberpunk with me. The game is set in 2027, 25 years before the first game in the series, at a time when multinational corporations have grown in power beyond the control of national governments. The game follows Adam Jensen, the newly hired security director at Sarif Industries, a growing biotechnology firm. After terrorists brutally attack Sarif #39;s Detroit-based headquarters, the mortally wounded Jensen is forced to undergo radical life-saving surgeries that replace large areas of his body with advanced prostheses. Returning to work, he becomes embroiled in the global politics of the human enhancement movement in the search for those responsible for the attack. A central theme to the game is the rise of corporations in globalization, espionage, human survival, poverty and the ethics of advancing humans with artificial replacements for body parts. playlist - http://www.youtube.comFrom:AngryjollyViews:2 0ratingsTime:20:51More inGaming

On the November 2012 episode of Show-Me Ag... Monsanto is one of the most powerful and important corporations in the world and they are headquartered in St Louis Missouri. They have focused their efforts on biotechnology for agriculture and most Missouri farms are applying technology, developed in Monsanto laboratories, on farms across the Midwest. The Monsanto Fund, a foundation springing from the parent company, has decided to fund projects in the rural areas where their products are put to work. Joining Kyle in the studio is Jake Schlitt, an Operations Supervisor for Monsanto in Marshall, MO. We will also visit Miami, MO where their school district has directly benefited from Monsanto #39;s "America #39;s Farmers Grow Rural Education" program.

Excerpt from:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - [HD] Official Trailer - Video

Background:
The inherent recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass is one of the major economic hurdles for the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass. Additionally, lignin is recognized as having a negative impact on enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass, and as a result much interest has been placed on modifying the lignin pathway to improve bioconversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks.
Results:
Down-regulation of the caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene in the lignin pathway yielded switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) that was more susceptible to bioconversion after dilute acid pretreatment. Here we examined the response of these plant lines to milder pretreatment conditions with yeast-based simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and a consolidated bioprocessing approach using Clostridium thermocellum, Caldicellulosiruptor bescii and Caldicellulosiruptor obsidiansis. Unlike the S. cerevisiae SSF conversions, fermentations of pretreated transgenic switchgrass with C. thermocellum showed an apparent inhibition of fermentation not observed in the wild-type switchgrass. This inhibition can be eliminated by hot water extraction of the pretreated biomass, which resulted in superior conversion yield with transgenic versus wild-type switchgrass for C. thermocellum, exceeding the yeast-based SSF yield. Further fermentation evaluation of the transgenic switchgrass indicated differential inhibition for the Caldicellulosiruptor sp. strains, which could not be rectified by additional processing conditions. Gas chromatography--mass spectrometry (GC-MS) metabolite profiling was used to examine the fermentation broth to elucidate the relative abundance of lignin derived aromatic compounds. The types and abundance of fermentation-derived-lignin constituents varied between C. thermocellum and each of the Caldicellulosiruptor sp. strains.
Conclusions:
The down-regulation of the COMT gene improves the bioconversion of switchgrass relative to the wild-type regardless of the pretreatment condition or fermentation microorganism. However, bacterial fermentations demonstrated strain-dependent sensitivity to the COMT transgenic biomass, likely due to additional soluble lignin pathway-derived constituents resulting from the COMT gene disruption. Removal of these inhibitory constituents permitted completion of fermentation by C. thermocellum, but not by the Caldicellulosiruptor sp. strains. The reason for this difference in performance is currently unknown.Source:

Understanding Science Implications in society - The Role-playing Game Agrofood Democracy.mpg
In Europe the social debate about transgenic, or genetically modified (GM), foods appears to be insurmountable, with an overall large percentage of society opposed to, or undecided about, their commercialization (20% each, according to the 2010 Eurobarometer), and wide differences among countries. Science students understand well the scientific approaches behind GM crops, the scientific arguments for cultivating them and their use in food applications, and even the legal basics of the European authorization process. Yet, it is very confusing for students as citizens to interface scientific principles and data of agrofood biotechnologies with other societal issues related to food production such as organic farming, sustainable agriculture, food safety, the perceived control of seeds by transnational corporations, the perceived loss of biodiversity and traditional seeds and foods, or the anti-GM food attitude of most NGOs, among many other issues. These other aspects are generally not included in most science courses dedicated to agrofood biotechnology for a variety of reasons. Why and how far are the principles of organic farming not compatible with those of agrofood biotechnology? Why do some European regions declare themselves as "GM-free" zones? Why do food producers have to advertise in the label that a product contains something that, in turn, could be objectionable for some people? Is GM food a new kind of pressure against developing countries? Who and how makes all ...From:Mertxe de RenobalesViews:15 0ratingsTime:12:47More inEducation

What does the future hold for genome sequencing? The Human Genome Project was more or less completed in 2003. Current projects are underway to use that initial exploration to create more useful post-genomic tools for discovery. What tools will be used, and how do they compare to the previous generations of technology? This is a video that I #39;ve wanted to make for a long time.
