There are people who take aliens and UFOlogy seriously. Hard evidence may not be easily produced, but YouTube has plenty of footage on the UFO topic, including astronaut testimony, a Dan Aykroyd documentary, a Bob Lazar documentary, claims by William Tompkins, and something called Sirius Disclosure. Altogether, it has the appearance of a cottage industry. Additionally, some of the mythology can be interesting.
Our findings might just as likely reflect cohort effects rather than declining clinical performance associated with greater age, which has important implications for interpretation of our findings.
In addition to communicating with spacecraft during atmospheric re-entry, X-ray transmissions could also be useful for communicating with high speed aircraft such as the (rumored) Aurora hypersonic spyplane or SR-72 hypersonic UAV.
Here we provide probabilistic sea level rise projections for the global coastline with warming above the 2 C goal. By 2040, with a 2 C warming under the RCP8.5 scenario, more than 90% of coastal areas will experience sea level rise exceeding the global estimate of 0.2 m, with up to 0.4 m expected along the Atlantic coast of North America and Norway.

Is there any amount of scientific evidence that could persuade you to change your opinion?
Did you know that animal agriculture is also a large contributor to the greenhouse gas problem? Not only because of the animals' direct effects, but also the tremendous amounts of food they consume, rain forests cleared to grow feed crops, etc. Additionally, it uses significant amounts of fresh water.
In The China Study, the authors discuss ways in which nutrition science is riddled with conflict of interest. They say the food industry treats nutrition science as a marketing channel, and is largely able to neutralize negative messages about its products by controlling the direction of research and/or generating conflicting and confusing messages. Meanwhile, for example, some physicians personally seek dietary treatment for cardiovascular disease but still support a medical institution that prefers to recommend surgical intervention.
The term agnotology is an interesting one. Could be a real thing.
Are you saying the government isn't suppressing "natural" cures? Ever heard of cannabis? For example, check out the WEED series of special reports by CNN correspondent Sanjay Gupta, MD.
The Guardian article doesn't link to the study it describes.
I'd be interested to know how the study attempts to correct for factors such as differences in socioeconomic status between the locals and the nationals from other countries.
Apparently, the cited study results have not yet been published, only presented at a conference.
In other news, higher crime rates are corellated with a higher number of churches per square mile.
One of the comments on the article points out a Romanian mathematician named Bernard Bereanu, who "figured out in the 70s that the cold war and the nuclear standoff is doomed sooner or later to produce such incidents, pretty much bringing inadvertently the two superpowers on the verge of extinction through a series of mistakes."
I suppose it would be appropriate to add nuclear mistake to the list of other other incidents, such as asteroid impact and volcanic eruption, which could potentially result in an extinction event on this planet. While the probability of a single incident resulting in a world-wide catastrophe may be small, over time the probability of such a catastrophe occurring approaches 1.

Vortex Bladeless is an emerging alternative (to turbines) technology for generating electric power from wind:

While walking out of the theater, I'd have said it was ok.
After thinking about it a while, I'd have said it's not among the top 5 or 6 Star Wars movies.
Now, I'm inclined to agree, it's worse than the prequels.

Agreed, a universal solution is a tall order. Complete privacy could also be a tough one.

Three modes of persuasion/rhetoric identified by Aristotle are ethos, pathos, and logos.
ethos is an appeal to authority or credibility
pathos is an appeal to emotions
logos is an appeal to reason
Tthe pope's statement may have enough ethos with some audiences to make an impact.
The LightSail kickstarter crowdfunding campaign is still active. Moneys donated at this point will help fund a publicity campaign.

Jason Davis' blog has mission updates:

This is a test mission. Still a historic achievement for solar sailing, though. The real LightSail mission will launch in 2016.
Why not also end federal prohibition of a crop with a byproduct ("hurds") containing more than seventy-seven percent cellulose. It also chokes out weeds and can be grown on marginal land.
Maybe the time has finally come for large-scale transportation fuel production from biomass pyrolysis.

Are you able to harvest a phone number using YQL?
I was. Disturbingly, even after "deleting" the phone number from my Yahoo profile, the query result still includes a phone number.
On a related note, I wish Yahoo would at least properly implement OpenID Connect before delving into more exotic login scenarios.
