(via Parasite turns wasp into zombie then drills through its head | New Scientist)

The crypt gall wasp (Bassettia pallida) is a master manipulator. It parasitises the sand live oak tree, encouraging it to form hollow galls – or “crypts” – in its woody stems. Young wasps develop inside the crypts through the second half of the year, chewing their way out to emerge as adults the following spring.

At least, most of them do. Some crypt gall wasps don’t make it: they begin to chew their way out several months earlier than expected, but stop while the exit is still only as large as their head. Then they die, with their head blocking the hole (see photo, below).

Now it appears that the manipulator is itself manipulated into an early death.

Kelly Weinersmith at Rice University in Houston, Texas, and her colleagues examined about a dozen of the “head blocked” crypts. In all but one case they found the larvae or pupae of a smaller wasp – Euderus set – living as a parasite inside the larger B. pallida wasp, slowly eating it.

The ancient Chinese were the first to use diamonds as tools. Experts have made a discovery which suggests that ancient Chinese craftsmen were familiar with diamond tools thousands of years ago, proving that civilizations that lived on earth thousands of years ago were extremely sophisticated.

According to researchers, ancient people of the Stone Age in China were the first to use diamonds as a tool, and not only that but two thousand years before someone else came up with the great idea.

Paradoxically, diamonds were used to polish jade with which ceremonial axes were made.

Several members of the military and law enforcement community noticed something very unusual about one of Trump’s bodyguards, after the historical inauguration. The Secret Service agent is question, who happens to bear an uncanny resemblance to Hitman Agent 47, seemed to have very stiff and odd looking arms, that were in an strange resting position.

(via 7 for 2017: This is what Nostradamus predicted about 2017 | Ancient Code)

A chemist and apothecary named Michel de Nostradame publishes an almanac titled The Prophecies. He writes more than a thousand four-line poetic verses called “quatrains,” verses that seem to predict the future. ‘Nostradamus –as he is famously known– began to have visions at a very early age. He would stare into a bowl with water and while staring at the water for some time he would “receive” visions of the future.

According to his followers, and numerous historians, the French apothecary managed to predict a lot of things that have actually happened in the last few centuries; including the French Revolution, Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and 9/11.Not only that, it is believed that the 16th-century prophet even managed to predict Trump’s presidential win: “The great shameless, audacious bawler. He will be elected governor of the army: The boldness of his contention. The bridge broken, the city faint from fear.”

(via 3-D Printed Drones Fly High for Army Researchers | Armed with Science)

Soldiers witnessed the innovation of Army researchers recently during flight testing of 3-D printed unmanned aircraft systems that were created on-demand for specific missions.

The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command invited engineers from the Army Research Laboratory to Fort Benning, Georgia, last month, to showcase new technology at the Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiments, or AEWE.

“We’ve created a process for converting soldier mission needs into a 3-D printed On-Demand Small Unmanned Aircraft System, or ODSUAS, as we’ve been calling it,” said Eric Spero, team leader and project manager.

With this concept, once a patrol requires UAV support, soldiers input all their requirements into mission planning software. The system then knows the optimal configuration for the aerial vehicle and it’s printed and delivered within 24-hours.

“We thought they’re not going to think that’s fast enough, but, actually it was the opposite,” Spero said. “The timeline of 24 hours to receive a mission-custom UAS fits right in line with the way they plan and execute their missions.”

Researchers said they felt the combination of 3-D printing and UAVs was a natural technology solution.

(via Czech Government Fears Muslim "Super-Holocaust", Urges Citizens To Shoot Them Yourselves)

On the heels of Czech President Milos Zeman's warnings of a possible "super-Holocaust" carried out by Muslim terrorists, urging citizens to arm themselves, WaPo reports the country's interior ministry is pushing a constitutional change that would let citizens use guns against terrorists if police are delayed or unable to make their way to the scene of an attack.

Czech president Milos Zeman had previously proposed that economic migrants should be deported from Europe to “uninhabited Greek islands” or to “empty places” in North Africa. The spectacularly incredible president also proposed that the Greek debt should be progressively reduced in return for shouldering the cost of hosting hundreds of thousands economic migrants.

(via What Is a Soul? 5 Thought-Provoking Theories to Consider – Learning Mind)

1. What is a soul according to the Ancient Greeks?

By and large, the Ancient Greek tradition didn’t think of the soul in terms of a spiritual substance inhabiting the body of human beings alone, but rather as a life force which animates all living organisms, and which is one with the body. Plato, who divided the soul into three parts (the logical, the spirited, and the appetitive) seems to have been the first to suggest that the soul is something immortal that could outlive the body, and which inhabits the body until death.

Aristotle also divided the soul into three degrees. The first degree, for him, was to be found in all living organisms, including plants, and this is what governed the natural functions such as reproduction and growth. The second degree of soul was to be found in animals and human beings, but not in plants, and this was the soul that governed the senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. The third degree was to be found in human beings alone, the intellectual or rational soul, and this soul gave the capacity for thought and reflection. Aristotle seems to have been opposed to Plato’s idea that the soul and the body were distinct from each other.

Located in the middle of Eastern Antarctica, a strange, oval-shaped structure, measuring 400 feet across may be one of the ultimate pieces of evidence that ancient civilizations once roamed Antarctica.

Talk about ancient civilization inhabiting Antarctica has existed for decades. What if, in the distant past, when Earth –and Antarctica— was much different then today, an ancient civilization developed there, creating fascinating structures, monuments and temples there? Would we find evidence of their existence today?

(via Mind-Blowing: There is a 2 BILLION-Year-Old natural Nuclear Reactor in Africa | Ancient Code)

Two billion years ago, parts of an African uranium deposit spontaneously underwent nuclear fission. Scientists estimate that this nuclear reactor –whch consists of 16 sites—has been operational for at least 500,000 years in the distant past. Incredibly, compared with this massive nuclear reactor, our modern-day nuclear reactors are not comparable both in design and functionality.

The nuclear reactor consists of 16 sites. As it is noted in Scientific American, “It is truly amazing that more than a dozen natural reactors spontaneously sprang into existence and that they managed to maintain a modest power output for perhaps a few hundred millennia.”
