May 14, 2013 — A Wayne State University researcher understands that the three most important things about real estate also apply to small ground robotic vehicles: location, location, location.
n a paper recently published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, Weisong Shi, Ph.D., associate professor of computer science in the College of Engineering, describes his development of a technique called LOBOT that provides accurate, real-time, 3-D positions in both indoor and outdoor environments. The project was supported in part by the Wayne State Career Development Chair award, which gives Shi an opportunity to explore other areas after receiving tenure at WSU. . . . Read Complete Report

Innovation is inevitable in any industry, and the field of medical marijuana is no different. With laws already in the books in 18 states and more on the way, investors who might not know their Blue Chips from their Blue Dream are flocking to these regions to stake their claim in what they see as the next big commodity.
White-collar Wall Street-types can certainly see the budding upside to sinking money into dispensaries, growing operations, and other cannabis related retail outlets. But those potential gains are often outweighed by the prospects of inventory control, employee management, product naiveté. And of course, the grey area that exists in all current state-level medical marijuana laws that fly in the face of Federal statute. Cue MedBox. . . . Read Complete Report

Armed with a basic metal detector, a first-time treasure hunter in Britain reportedly has uncovered a trove of Roman-era gold coins that experts believe represents one of the largest such finds in England’s history.
The cache of coins – Roman solidi dating back to the 4 th century – is estimated to be worth £100,000, or about $160,000 in U.S. dollars.
According to the Helmel Gazette newspaper, the man – whose name has not been made public – reportedly bought a beginner’s metal detector from a shop in the Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, area. A few weeks later, the man returned to the shop, showed the shopkeepers 40 gold coins, and asked them: “What do I do with this?” . . . Read Complete Report

In further advancement of the New World Order, progressives have plans to implement Agenda 21 during Barack Obama’s second term. Some people know a little about Agenda 21, while others know absolutely nothing. It bears perusal. Republicans, as well as Democrats, are in on it. It is increasingly becoming difficult to know whom to trust. Remember, absolute power corrupts absolutely. So what is Agenda 21?
In a nutshell, the plan calls for governments to take control of all land use and not leave any of the decision-making in the hands of private property owners. It is assumed that people are not good stewards of their land and the government will do a better job if they are in control. Individual rights in general are to give way to the needs of communities as determined by the governing body. Moreover, people should be rounded up off the land and packed into human settlements, or islands of human habitation, close to employment centers and transportation. . . . Read Complete Report
Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment. . . . UN Publication
U.N.-backed ‘Agenda 21’ development rules anger many in Texas

A Lubbock County judge’s comments last week that President Obama might cede U.S. sovereignty to the United Nations and spark a civil war have been widely ridiculed. But concerns about U.N. overreach are gaining ground, with the attacks mostly focused on a 20-year-old nonbinding U.N. resolution called Agenda 21.
Texas critics of the resolution have seen their fears echoed by activists at city council meetings around the state and adopted by some of the state’s Republican leaders. . . . Read Complete Report
Al Hulick remembers, to the day, when Agenda 21 came into his world.
It was May 17, 2011, at an informational meeting on whether Janesville should join the state’s Green Tier program. Some attendees reacted skeptically, handing out literature about Agenda 21, a non-binding pact to promote sustainable growth drafted by the United Nations in 1992.
“I had never heard of it,” said Hulick, a management analyst for the city. He assumed fears about Green Tier, through which the state Department of Natural Resources and the nonprofit 1,000 Friends of Wisconsin help communities pursue environmentally friendly practices, would fade over time. . . .

I note that the Controllers Media is starting to hook the weather off the coast of Florida with the upcoming GOP Presidential Campaign in Tampa Florida.
Now as everyone knows i am not a Conspiracy theorist (no way!) but sometimes you just have to look at things tweaked just a little from what you see and hear coming over the Controllers Media teleprompters.
Conspiracy or not the one thing we know for certain is that, call it Weather Control, Weather Manipulation or Weather Modification, it is real. Completely documented evidence of our government doing just that during the war in VetNam came out in top secret hears on Weather Modification during the Vet Nam War – Senate Hearings held March 20 1974 and May 19 1974.
Anyone interested in the subject can find tons of particles sprinkled all over the web. Personally i believe at least some, if not most, of the Chem-trails being seen in our skies today have to do with scientific study and experimental testing of weather control options. Back in the September 2008 I published an extended series of research reports that I feel is just as timely as if written today. So I decided to transfer the whole series of reports, freshened up a bit and make it easily available right here in The NEW Hollow Earth Insider Archives. . . . EDITOR

Weather Wars or Just Mother Nature Getting Even?
by Dennis Crenshaw -THEI Editor
Having lived a large portion of my life on the east coast of Florida, I naturally am very aware of the annual Hurricane Season which runs from June 1st thru November 30th and just how nasty these destroyers of lives and property can be.
Why live here then, you might ask? Well, of course, the stock answer is because of the weather and the beautiful beaches. (After all I do go to the beach once a year for the Springing the Blues Festival. And most of the time this “great weather” is hotter than hell and muggier than a health club sauna). I guess the actual – and wiseass – answer is, “everyone has to live somewhere.”
Which is worse, a Hurricane or a Earthquake?
I experienced hurricaneDora in 1964 as the eye of the storm passed directly through Jacksonville. The Sudden calm, the unexplained strangeness that came with the calmness of the eye.Then came the sudden return of the wall of that extremely destructive storm from the opposite direction which was especially nerve wracking. As the old worn-out saying goes, It was an experience that lives in my mind like it was yesterday.
[ I also found myself living in California during the Sylmar Earthquake on February 9, 1971. With the epicenter of this 6.6 magnitude earthquake being approx 10 miles away from our home we felt the blunt of the shaker. The point being that I have a pretty good perspective to the age old question: would you rather experience a hurricane or an earthquake? My answer: neither].
Anyway back to hurricanes. I first noticed the pattern of the routes of major hurricanes with Hurricane Floyd in 1999.
I watched in amazement as local TV began 24 hour coverage while the storm was mile away from where they usually begin such heavy coverage locally. Studies were being implemented to let the population know what might happen if they ignored the evacuation order, then the results were shown on TV over and over. Never before had I seen this happen so soon. Then came the first ever evacuation of the whole state of Florida causing a huge traffic jam that stretched for the 400 miles or so of the peninsular.They even moved all the inmates out of our prisons and jails. Then the extremely over-rated Hurricane (for Florida) followed the coastline of Florida as though something was in control of its movement by keeping it on an even track offshore without ever touching land at any point in the state.
The following year I watched as tropicalstorm Leslie coming OUT OF THE NORTH (a direction we seldom see them coming from) and made a direct b-line for our state without any hoopla about evacuation until just before the incident. Then after a few well televised localized evacuations Leslie petered out.
At the time I mentioned to family members and friends, half jokingly, that the past few storm seasons seemed to be part of a pre-planned study by the controllers into just how fast they could relocate a large number of people in a short period of time using the state of Florida and most of the eastern seaboard of the United States as a test area.
Then, when Katrina hit New Orleans the thought came to me that this could be another study. Instead of a massive evacuation this time the controllers wanted to see what would happen if a major storm hit a city with all the people still there. Of course back then I was thinking more along the lines of the controllers taking advantage of the storms mother nature was sending our way rather than any thought of some kind of weather manipulation.
The other day [September 2008] with the present situation of hurricanes lining up in the Atlantic like airplanes at an airport and while thinking along the lines of persistent internet chatter about possible control of these massive storms I suddenly remembered a small piece of information that I had picked up while in the merchant marines during the Viet Nam war.
It was during the spring of 1967 or 1968. Our freighter, an old workhorse Liberty ship left over from WWII named the Silver Falcon, left Lake Charles, Louisiana with a load of rice bound for Da Nang, South Viet Nam under an operation called “Hands Across the Sea.”
One night while on watch with the 2nd Mate I mentioned that I thought it was strange to be carrying rice to Viet Nam, a place certainly not lacking in rice fields. He told me that it was a payback for all the crops we had destroyed by making it rain for an extended period of time and that, combined with the extensive bombing, we had destroyed much of the Vietnamese rice crops. He said that our cargo of rice being delivered to the Vietnamese people was a part of a deal made with the South Viet Nam government to make up for the destroyed rice patties. At the time it all seemed far-fetched to me, but him being a mate and me being an ordinary seaman I didn’t press the discussion any further. However the story must have stuck in my unconscious mind. And, of course, since that day long ago I’ve read some of the information concerning the possibility of government weather control experiments, especially at the highly secretive Haarp facility in Alaska.
I also realize that when it comes to what our invisible government can and will do there are no bounds. If they could make it rain in Viet Nam in 1967 so much as to wipe out much of the rice crop anything is possible after 40 years of further research and application.
With all of the unusual hurricane activity going on right now I decided to take a long hard look at the possibility of massive and precise weather control, and/or hurricane manipulation.
People continue to become ill as high levels of chemicals show up in random testing of soil and water supplies, after witnesses photograph KC-135s and KC-10s outfitted with what appears to be a “spraying device.” The circular device is obviously not a refueling probe. A former Air Force pilot tells a reporter, “Yeah, we have them, but were not supposed to talk about it.”
The South Coast Air Quality Management District tentatively identifies the powder wafting down from the sky as “cedar pollen.” But a biologist retorts that December is not the season when cedar pollen normally appears. And when pollen appears in the spring, it does not “explode.” Several witnesses saw a yellow cloud “exploding” in the skies over the Lake Arrowhead area.
A nearly 400-foot deep sinkhole in Louisiana has swallowed all of the trees in its area and enacted a mandatory evacuation order for about 150 residences for fear of potential radiation and explosions.
The 400-square-foot gaping hole is in Assumption Parish, La., about 50 miles south of Baton Rouge.
The sinkhole sits in the middle of a heavily wooded space where it has consumed all of the soaring cypress trees that had been there. Flyover photos show some of the treetops still visible through the mud.
Authorities enacted a mandatory evacuation for between 100 and150 homes in the area, but most people have chosen to stay, according to the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Preparedness. If any of the dangers seem to become more imminent, the order will be escalated to a forced evacuation.
While officials are not certain what caused the massive sinkhole, they believe it may be have ben caused by a nearby salt cavern owned by the Texas Brine Company.
After being used for nearly 30 years, the cavern was plugged in 2011 and officials believe the integrity of the cavern may have somehow been compromised, leading to the sinkhole. . . . Read Complete Report
“NEW ORLEANS — The mysterious bubbling swamp in Assumption Parish that turned into a sort of soupy sinkhole actually shut down a nearby highway this weekend.
About 100 homes were evacuated when the sinkhole started spreading.
It caused cypress trees to topple and even bent a natural gas pipeline. That’s when officials shut down Highway 70, and started work to depressurize the pipeline.
Officials aren’t sure, but say the problem could be connected to a nearby fault line or a collapsed salt dome.” . . . Text posted with Video

Fans of folklore and mythology are probably well-familiar with the Norse legends of gods, giants and heroes: the Norse myths, viking or Norse sagas, and related materials. Richard Wagner created an entire feverish mystique about a forgotten “nordic” age with his adaptation of the story of the Rhinegold, Sigurd, and Siegfried, with his “Ring Cycle” series of operas, and its Germanic version of Norse gods and devils, giants and dwarfs, of worlds spread up and down the viking-age Tree of the Universe, Yggdrasil.
