SAN DIEGO, Kalifornia (PNN) - May 31, 2017 - According to a revolutionary new study, a drug discovered more than a century ago may hold the key to combating the symptoms of autism. After just one dose, parents of the children in the study watched their children make incredible improvements, with some speaking for the first time.

May 25, 2017 - As the title suggests, this article will outline several methods to hide your stuff underground. Be advised: this means you’ll have to have some property at your disposal.

Caches are the ultimate backup plan because everyone wants to hide their stuff, but hiding it effectively is a different matter.Yes, everyone wants a set of diagrams and ideas, but you should have a plan before you implement your construction.Let’s outline some basic principles and considerations first that it would do you good to keep in mind.

BARCELONA, Catalonia (PNN)- May 22, 2017 - The constitutional crisis in Spain may be coming to a head quickly according to a leaked document on a “Secret Law for Catalonia Independence”, according to El Pais.

Spain’s Attorney General José Manuel Maza is set to examine the legality of a plan outlined by the regional government of Catalonia to activate immediate secession from Spain if the central government in Madrid stops it from holding a vote on independence - something it is planning on doing in September or October of this year.

CARACAS/SAN CRISTOBAL, Venezuela (PNN) - May 20, 2017 - Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets on Saturday to mark 50 days of protests against the unpopular government of dictator President Nicolas Maduro, with unrest gaining momentum despite a rising death toll and chaotic scenes of nighttime looting.

SONOMA, Kalifornia (PNN) - May 20, 2017 - Tiny homes are all the rage nowadays, and it’s no wonder. Not only can they be very affordable and comfortable, they offer mobility for those who don’t like being rooted down in one place. Usually an option for twenty- and thirty-somethings, elders are now taking advantage of tiny homes to enjoy independence and lower living costs in their golden years.

BERLIN, Germany (PNN) - May 20, 2017 - Imagine a jet engine that could propel an aircraft faster than a traditional engine, taking us all the way to the edge of the atmosphere, all without burning fossil fuels - and for a low cost.

That's exactly what plasma jet engines should be able to do, although thus far they have been confined to research labs, mostly those focusing on using the engines to move satellites and other spacecraft.

Now researchers from the Technical University of Berlin are working to bring them out of the lab and into the sky.

Instead of burning fuel and compressed air and then shoving the results out of the back of an engine to cause forward propulsion, a plasma jet engine mimics a fusion reactor or a star.

It creates electricity by exciting and compressing gas into plasma, and then generating an electromagnetic field.

Led by Berkant Göksel, the research team aims to marry the plasma engine and the passenger jet to come up with something that could fly at very high altitudes but still take off and land.

"We are the first to produce fast and powerful plasma jets at ground level," said Göskel. "These jets of plasma can reach speeds of up to 20 kilometers a second."

Several obstacles are still standing between the plasma jet engine that can carry us to the edge of space and reality. First, Göksel's team was using tiny plasma thrusters - about 80 millimeters in length.

It would take around 10,000 of these little thrusters to propel a standard commercial-size aircraft, so the current design is a non-starter. For now, Göksel's team intends to use 100 to 1,000 thrusters to move a smaller airship or plane, which ought to be feasible.

BARCELONA, Spain (PNN) - April 21, 2017 - In a paper called A Magnetic Wormhole by Jordi Prat-Camps, Carles Nava and Alvaro Sanchez published in Scientific Reports, they report that they have designed and created in the laboratory the first experimental wormhole that can connect two regions of space magnetically. Amazingly enough, the scientists at the Department of Physics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona report that it consists of a tunnel that transfers the magnetic field from one point to the other while keeping it undetectable - invisible - all the way.

JERUSALEM, Israel (PNN) - May 11, 2017 - Sources familiar with the ongoing peace talk efforts say that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas signaled “unprecedented readiness” for a peace deal with Israel during his meeting at the White House last week, a sign that the peace process could be getting a big shot in the arm.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (PNN) - May 9, 2017 - Just as a high-profile expedition to retrieve fossils of human ancestors from deep within a cave system in South Africa was getting underway in 2013, two spelunkers pulled aside paleoanthropologist Lee Berger. They had found what looked like an ancient thighbone in a completely different cave. “Can we go get it?” they asked.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 10, 2017 - Fascist Police States of Amerika Attorney General Jeff Sessions sent the following statement to all FBI employees tonight:

The President of the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) has exercised his lawful authority to remove James B. Comey, Jr., as the Director of the (Amerikan Gestapo) Federal Bureau of Investigation (division).
