ISIS Update

The Fake Terror Threat Used To Justify Bombing Syria – The Intercept

As the Obama Administration prepared to bomb Syria without congressional or U.N. authorization, it faced two problems. The first was the difficulty of sustaining public support for a new years-long war against ISIS, a group that clearly posed no imminent threat to the “homeland.” A second was the lack of legal justification for launching a new bombing campaign with no viable claim of self-defense or U.N. approval.

The solution to both problems was found in the wholesale concoction of a brand new terror threat that was branded “The Khorasan Group.”

The Khorosan Group Does Not Exist

It’s a fictitious name the Obama administration invented to deceive us.

As the strikes on Syria began, U.S. officials said Khorasan was “nearing the execution phase” of an attack on the United States or Europe, most likely an attempt to blow up a commercial plane in flight. We are joined by Murtaza Hussain of The Intercept, whose new article with Glenn Greenwald is “The Khorasan Group: Anatomy of a Fake Terror Threat to Justify Bombing Syria.”

Third round of UK airstrikes launched against ISIS in Iraq, confirm MoD

MoD officials say the Royal Air
Force (RAF) tornados were on a mission to assist Kurdish ground
forces engaged in combat with jihadists in the region. As IS
fighters opened fire on Kurdish troops, UK special forces
launched Paveway IV guided bombs at IS positions, the MOD said in
a formal statement.

Iraq Pilots Mistakenly Gave Food, Ammunition to ISIS Militants – NBC News.com

Iraqi military pilots mistakenly gave food, water and ammunition to enemy ISIS militants instead of their own soldiers, a senior security official and a brigadier-general told NBC News. The supplies were supposed to help besieged Iraqi army officers and soldiers who had been fighting Islamist extremists for a week in Saglawyah and the village of Al-Sijar in the country’s western province of Anbar.

US ends ban on ‘domestic propaganda’ — RT USA

The Smith-Mundt Act has ensured for decades that government-made media intended for foreign audiences doesn’t end up on radio networks broadcast within the US. An amendment tagged onto the National Defense Authorization Act removed that prohibition this year

The longstanding federal law made it illegal for the US Department of State to share domestically the internally-authored news stories sent to American-operated
outlets broadcasting around the globe. All of that changed effective July 2, when the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) was given permission to let US households tune-in to hear the
type of programming that has previously only been allowed in outside nations.

High Note

Colorado’s Supreme Court on Tuesday heard arguments in a case involving Brandon Coats, a quadriplegic medical marijuana patient who was fired by the Dish Network after failing a drug test in 2010.

Coats said he never got high at work. But pot’s intoxicating chemical, THC, can stay in the system for weeks.

Sleep and Fear

  • A fear memory was reduced in people by exposing them to the memory over and over again while they slept
  • The Study
  • Scientists have shown that sleep is very important for strengthening new memories
  • Previous projects have shown that spatial learning and motor sequence learning can be enhanced during sleep
  • If the results of this new study continue to show promising results it will be the first time that emotional memory have been manipulated in humans during sleep
  • What it Could Mean
  • It offers the potential of a new way to enhance typical daytime treatments of phobias, through exposure therapy by adding a nighttime component
  • If it can be extended to pre-existing fear, the bigger picture is that, perhaps, the treatment of phobias can be enhanced during sleep.\”
  • The Test
  • 15 healthy human subjects received mild electric shocks while seeing two different faces
  • Subjects also received different odorants to smell with each face such as woody, clove, new sneaker, lemon or mint
  • This caused the brain to associate the faces and corresponding smells with fear
  • During the slow wave sleep state, when memory consolidation is thought to occur, a smell was represented without the corresponding face and shock
  • When a given smell was reintroduced during sleep, it was activating the memory of that face over and over again
  • The Results
  • When the subjects woke up they saw the face linked to the smell they had been exposed to during sleep
  • Their fear reactions were lower than their fear reactions to the other face
  • Fear was measured in two ways, through small amounts of sweat in the skin, similar to a lie detector test and through neuroimaging with fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging).
  • The fMRI results showed changes in regions associated with memory and changes in patterns of brain activity in regions associated with emotion
  • These brain changes reflected a decrease in reactivity that was specific to the targeted face image associated with the odorant presented during sleep

Lunar Formation and Age

  • New research suggests that the moon is younger than scientists had previously believed
  • Current Leading Lunar Formation Theory
  • Suggest that the Moon was created when a mysterious planet, one the size of Mars or larger, slammed into the Earth about 4.56 billion years ago, just after the solar system came together
  • New analyses of lunar rocks suggest that the moon, is actually between 4.4 billion and 4.45 billion years old
    +This analysis would mean the moon would 100 million years younger than previously thought and would reshape scientists\’ understanding of the early Earth
  • Opens New Questions
  • Giving the Earth another 100 million years of development before a giant impact could have provided enough time for a primordial atmosphere to develop
  • If that did have time to occur, could an impact have been able to \’blown off\’ that atmosphere
  • Age of Smaller Solar System Bodies
  • Scientists are very sure that the solar system\’s age is 4.568 billion years
  • They can pin down the formation times of relatively small bodies such as asteroids precisely
  • By noting when these objects underwent extensive melting, from the heat generated by the collision and fusion of these objects\’ building-block \”planetesimals.\”
  • Analysis of meteorites that came from the asteroid Vesta and eventually rained down on Earth reveals that the 330-mile-wide (530 kilometers) space rock is 4.565 billion years old
  • Vesta cooled relatively quickly and is too small to have retained enough internal heat to drive further melting or volcanism
  • Age of Larger Solar System Bodies
  • The age of larger solar-system bodies is harder to narrow down
  • Earth likely took longer to grow to full size compared to a small asteroid like Vesta
  • Every step in its growth tends to erase, or at least cloud, earlier events
  • Lunar formation Impact Event
  • Currently the \’lunar formation impact event\’ puts the age of the Moon at around 4.56 billion years ago
  • As scientists refine techniques and technology improves, estimates are pushing the moon\’s formation date farther forward in time
  • The moon is thought to have harbored a global ocean of molten rock shortly after its formation
  • Currently, the most precisely determined age for the lunar rocks that arose from that ocean is 4.360 billion years
  • Here on Earth, scientists have found signs in several locations of a major melting event that occurred around 4.45 billion years ago
  • Evidence is building that the catastrophic collision that formed the moon and reshaped Earth occurred around that time, rather than 100 million years or so before

Infant Blood Sugar

  • Newborns with low blood sugar sometimes have to go to the intensive care unit for intravenous infusions of glucose
  • A new study has found that rubbing a sweet gel onto the insides of babies’ cheeks can also help with low blood sugar
  • Neonatal Hypoglycemia
  • Low blood sugar in newborns, or neonatal hypoglycemia, occurs when the tiny body needs more glucose to meet energy needs than is available in the bloodstream
  • Prolonged hypoglycemia risks neurological injury.
  • Prevalence
  • Low blood glucose shows up in 5 to 15 percent of otherwise healthy newborns as measured by blood tests
  • Of note, doctors typically don’t run the analysis on every newborn
  • Doctors often only call for blood sugar blood tests if they see symptoms, such as poor color, seizures, irritability, lethargy, jittery behavior and a lack of interest in feeding
  • Although many infants with low blood glucose don’t have such symptoms
  • One report designates at-risk infants as those who are born preterm, have diabetic mothers, or are either large or small for their gestational age
  • The Study
  • In the new study, researchers identified 237 apparently healthy newborns who had one of those risk factors or who were feeding poorly
  • Half of the babies were randomly assigned to get a gel made of dextrose, a form of glucose, rubbed on the inner cheeks up to six times over 48 hours; the rest received a placebo gel
  • Results in the Following Week
  • Placebo gel group | 30 babies, 25%, were placed in intensive care for hypoglycemia
  • Dextrose gel group | 16 babies, 13%, were placed in intensive care for hypoglycemia
  • Previous Usage
  • Dextrose had been tried in the 1990s as an oral rub for infants but wasn’t fully tested or put into widespread use

New Horizons Message Initiative

  • SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) have created a petition called the New Horizons Message Initiative
  • This petition is asking NASA officials to upload a yet-to-be-determined crowdsourced message from humanity onto the New Horizons craft after its encounter with the Pluto system
  • \”This website is an opportunity for anyone who is interested to sign a petition that asks NASA to approve the future use of the spacecraft\”
  • Were There Plans About This from NASA?
  • Before New Horizons launched, NASA officials discussed including an onboard message, but decided against it due to a small team on a tight budget
  • The team didn\’t want to get distracted from the project
  • New Horizons Message Initiative
  • The group would need formal permission from the agency and sub-support to make this happen
  • NASA funds will not be used for the project, but initiative officials are asking for support from private individuals.
  • The idea is to use some of the spacecraft\’s memory to store messages from earthlings beamed up to the probe, when New Horizons completes its mission
  • They say that it might be possible to reprogram about 100 megabytes of its memory and upload a new sights and sounds of Earth

Lightsaber Tech?!?!?!

  • Nikki, Summer SciByte co-host, current STOked radio co-host
  • What’s Going On?
  • Researchers have found a way to bind photons together much like molecules
  • This discovery goes against what scientists previously understood of photons: that elementary light particles are massless loners that do not interact with each other.
  • Most of the properties of light we know about originate from the fact that photons are massless, and that they do not interact with each other
  • The Test
  • Researchers fired a couple of photons into a cloud of rubidium – a chemical element belonging to the metal group – in a vacuum chamber cooled to just a few degrees above absolute zero.
  • When the photons exited the other side of the cloud of atoms the researchers were surprised to see the pair emerge as a single molecule.
  • The cloud they passed through is a special type of medium in which photons interact with each other strongly that they begin to act as though they have mass, and they bind together to form molecules
  • Rydberg Blockade
  • Rydberg blockade states that when an atom has energy imparted to it, nearby atoms cannot be excited to the same degree
  • The pair of photons moved through the cloud of atoms, the first photon excited atoms, but had to move forward before the second photon could do the same.
  • The pair of photons pushed and pulled each other through the cloud like atomic interaction, which made these two photons behave like a molecule
  • The Future
  • The team is hoping to use their newly discovered state of matter in the advancement of quantum computing

Sound and Fear

  • Researchers are looking into how our emotions can actually affect how we hear and process sound
  • The study showed that when certain types of sounds become associated in our brains with strong emotions, hearing similar sounds can evoke those same feelings
  • This phenomenon commonly seen in combat veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • The Study
  • Now a pair of researchers has discovered how fear can actually increase or decrease the ability to discriminate among sounds depending on context
  • The study used emotional conditioning in mice to investigate how hearing acuity (the ability to distinguish between tones of different frequencies) can change following a traumatic event, known as emotional learning
  • In these experiments animals learn to distinguish between potentially dangerous and safe sounds-called \”emotional discrimination learning.\”
  • This type of conditioning tends to result in relatively poor learning, but they designed a series of learning tasks intended to create progressively greater emotional discrimination in the mice, varying the difficulty
  • What They Found
  • The researchers found that, as expected, fine emotional learning tasks produced greater learning specificity than tests in which the tones were farther apart in frequency
  • Animals presented with sounds that were very far apart generalize the fear that they developed to the danger tone over a whole range of frequencies
  • Animals presented with the two sounds that were very similar exhibited specialization of their emotional response
  • Pitch discrimination abilities were measured in the animals, the mice with more specific responses displayed much finer auditory acuity than the mice who were frightened by a broader range of frequencies
  • Sound, Fear, and the Brain
  • Another interesting finding of this study is that the effects of emotional learning on hearing perception were mediated by a specific brain region, the auditory cortex
  • The auditory cortex has been known as an important area responsible for auditory plasticity
  • Surprisingly researchers found that the auditory cortex did not play a role in emotional learning
  • The specificity of emotional learning is controlled by the amygdala and sub-cortical auditory areas
  • Research shows that amygdala performs a primary role in the processing of memory and emotional reactions
  • The researchers hypothesize is that the amygdala and cortex are modifying subcortical auditory processing areas.
  • The sensory cortex is responsible for the changes in frequency discrimination, but it\’s not necessary for developing specialized or generalized emotional responses

Student Develops No-Battery Flashlight

  • Ann Makosinski from Victoria, British Columbia, has an LED flashlight powered by body heat her flashlight has got her into the finalist ranks for the Google Science Fair
  • The Hollow Flashlight, which works according to the thermoelectric effect-creating electric voltage out of temperature difference
  • How it Works : The Basics
  • Thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice-versa
  • At the atomic scale, an applied temperature gradient causes charge carriers in the material to diffuse from the hot side to the cold side
  • The flashlight Uses four Peltier tiles and the temperature difference between the palm of the hand and ambient air
  • It only needs a five degree temperature difference to work and produce up to 5.4 mW at 5 foot candles of brightness
  • Design
  • She bought Peltier tiles and tested them to see if they could produce sufficient power to light an LED
  • While power was not a problem, getting the needed voltage was, as the tiles did not generate enough of the voltage needed
  • Research and experiments on different designs for the circuit design lead to a circuit that could provide enough voltage when used with a recommended transformer
  • Final Design
  • The final design included mounting the Peltiers on a hollow aluminum tube which was inserted in a larger PVC pipe with an opening that allowed ambient air to cool the tube
  • The palm wrapped around a cutout in the PVC pipe and warmed the tiles.
  • The result was a bright light at 5 degree Celcius [sic] of Peltier differential
  • Materials for the flashlight project cost her $26
  • Google Science Fair
  • The top winner gets a $50,000 scholarship and trip to the Galapagos Islands
  • The prize ceremony takes place in September. Winners will be chosen in different age categories-13-14, 15-16, 17-18.

Voyager 1\’s Journey, It\’s Not There Yet

  • Voyager 1 is 11.6 billion miles (18.6 billion kilometers) from the Sun, poised to become Earth\’s first robotic mission to interstellar space
  • Data from the Voyager 1 spacecraft continues to provide new insight on the outskirts of our solar system
  • New Publications
  • In papers published in the journal Science, scientists have provided more clarity on the region they named the \”magnetic highway\” in December 2012.
  • The new Science papers focus on observations from the summer and fall of 2012 by LECP as well as Voyager 1\’s Cosmic Ray and Magnetometer instruments, with additional LECP data through April 2013.
  • Voyager has detected, for the first time, low-energy galactic cosmic rays, now that particles of the same energy from inside the bubble around our Sun disappeared
  • The most dramatic part was how quickly the solar-originating particles disappeared; they decreased in intensity by more than 1,000 times
  • Voyager\’s Low-Energy Charged Particle (LECP)
  • Voyager\’s Low-Energy Charged Particle (LECP) instrument, LECP detector, was designed at APL in the 1970s.
  • It includes a stepper motor that rotates the instrument through 45-degree steps every 192 seconds
  • It allows it to gather data in all directions and pick up something as dynamic as the solar wind and galactic particles
  • The device, designed and tested to work for 500,000 steps and last four years, has been working for nearly 36 years and well past 6 million steps
  • That\’s 12 times the number of steps and 9 times the number of years as of early July 2013
  • Important to remember

Did You See This? | Radio Signals from Outside the Milky Way

  • Sent in From Nick Tanin
  • Four powerful radio pulses emanating from sources outside of the Milky Way, 5 billion to nearly 11 billion light years away, have been picked up by an international team of astronomers at the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia
  • What Was Seen
  • These bursts gave off more energy in a millisecond than the sun does in 300,000 years
  • The bursts ranged from 5.5 to 10 billion light-years away, meaning it took the light from some of them 10 billion years to reach Earth. [The Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago]
  • To determine whether the new signals came from inside or outside the Milky Way scientists studied how the radio waves were affected by the material they pass through
  • This technique allows these new objects to shed light on the components of space.
  • As radio waves travel in space, they are stretched and slowed by the ionized material through which they move
  • Using models, the team concluded that the fast radio bursts, FRBs, traveled billions of light-years – much farther than the edge of Earth\’s galaxy, and likely are located in another galaxy
  • Although the explosions were brief, the astronomers can pinpoint the bursts\’ locations pretty accurately
  • They are so bright and narrow that we can limit the size of the emission region at the source to just a few hundred kilometers
  • No corresponding object could be observed in optical, gamma or X-ray wavelengths, so the explosions\’ origins remain unknown to scientists
  • Additional observations were performed approximately a year after the FRBs were first spotted, looked at whether the objects continued to produce emission, but the signals appear to be non repeating
  • Efforts are ongoing at the moment to detect FRBs in close to real time, such that they can be followed up quickly
  • Have we Observed This Kind of Event Before?
  • Since there had been only one burst during the last observation seven years ago scientists had wondered if the reading was simply an artifact in the data
  • Now the four new blips may add weight to that observation
  • Possible Sources
  • Intersecting magnetic fields from two neutron stars, extremely dense city-size bodies packing the mass of the sun.
  • A special kind of supernova orbited by a neutron star could potentially produce radio bursts as the star\’s magnetic field interacts with the explosion of the supernova
  • Such combinations would be rare
  • The current leading explanation is that a giant burst from a magnetar, a highly magnetized type of neutron star
  • Are There Other Events Like This?
  • These newfound objects allowed the researchers to calculate that an FRB should occur once every 10 seconds
  • Telescopes capture radio waves from such a small fraction of the sky so one-time radio pulses have been hard to detect
  • Instruments lack the ultrafast time resolution required to pinpoint the short-lived bursts
