In Albania a fascinating exploration project is underway. As you know Albania is only a short distance across the Adriatic sea to Italy. On the Italian side several kilometers below the surface, 80,000 BBLs of Oil flow from only 30 wells or thereabouts. More importantly the decline rates are rather minimal due unique carbonate geology, high pressures and above average...
Nessie the Loch Ness Monster moved to Sweden
Dear Gerald, There’s a pile of ridiculous articles out there claiming Putin is paranoid. Yet one fussy photo from a $2 camera of a “white bump” in the waters off Sweden and the Swedes mobilize a massive hunt using the navy and air force. Then the feedback mechanism pumps more BS in a loop for multiple sitings by the “public”...
Steady decline of oil tells a deeper trend line
As we put the final touches on the fall 2014 edition of the Trends Journal, the markets were beginning to show significant declines and erratic performance. As we reported this summer, the decline in oil prices was a significant sign of economic weakening in some sectors. In fact, Brent crude was trading at the lowest price since 2010 in mid-October....
Gassing America – Poisoning the Poor – 34 million 36 years – Federal Code
Gerald, because attempts were made to stop me from testifying and exposing this crime in DC, I have been left nearly blind, so I simply ask you to see my already written findings of facts and disclosure provided in my website http://GassingAmerica.com (aka htp://PoisoningThePoor.com or http://ManufacturedMurder.com etc) based upon my initial diagnosis and discovery recorded in http://LicenseToKill.us and http://DanielInTheLionsDen.us.

Rally for peace at the oldest intersection in America
We are living in the new age of endless war, endless suffering and endless spending in the service of destruction. This new age has seen the US urgently wage war in other countries to rebuild those nations while America’s infrastructure rots and its citizenry grows more cynical, unhealthy and divided. The notion of rebuilding America first stands no chance when...
2014 holiday shopping season a study in contrasts
In case you haven’t noticed, the 2014 holiday shopping season has begun. The chains began decorating stores in September, even before back-to-school season concluded, while digital, clothing and toy product lines were methodically rolled out. Any reading of retail industries’ projections suggest lessons learned from missteps in recent years and some familiar trend lines holding steady: • Deloitte LLP, the...
Artificial intelligence is getting smarter — and seemingly less artificial
Meet BINA48, a head-and-shoulders animatron with 32 facial-control motors under a rubber-like skin, a microphone in its ear, a speaker, and cameras in its lifelike eyeballs. It also has a zipper in its neck so engineers can get at the works in its head. In what its creators call a “mindfile,” BINA48 holds dozens of hours of reminiscences, as well...
Slaughter in the newsroom
With very few exceptions, major newspaper companies, especially in the US, have not made investments in their newsrooms for years. The notion of developing new content and expanding real reporting to improve financial performance is out the window. And you should care, because while biased coverage may appear to be the biggest problem, it can be argued the greater concern...
Aging Boomers need more healthy-living advice, products
As we have tracked for several years now, the fact that aging boomers are seeing modern medical science tagging more years on their lives has both positive and negative undercurrents. With more time and greater economic need to make their lives useful, productive and creative deep into the golden years, the Boomer Renaissance is now fully engaged. As we forecast:...
