Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people have when on their deathbed
We waste so much of our lives trying to accumulate more and more stuff. When death drops in for a visit, you realize that stuff has no value. Loving others and having them love you is what is important in life, not much else matters…

Someone is a genius.
New UN IPCC AR5 SPM report IGNORES the fact that every teenager alive today, has lived their entire life on a planet where there has not been any Global Warming.
Remember the nonsense which was spouted a few years back about Antarctic Ice melting away and predictions of a resulting dire sea level rise.
BTW on the opposite pole of the Earth, Polar Bear populations have been increasing for years and are at record high levels. Go figure.
Let us not forget what the UN IPCC conjecture stated about Himalayan glaciers disappearing. They retracted it.
Taylor Wilson’s Nuclear Reactor design can change the world and maybe make him the world’s first Trillionaire
Video is courtesy of TEDtalksDirector and their YouTube channel
So who is Taylor Wilson? Taylor Wilson is a young man, who has recently graduated from High School. He is also a genius, without doubt.
I do not believe that money is his motivator, but I highly suspect that he could become the world’s first Trillionaire.
He has redesigned the way a Nuclear Fission Reactor would work. His design is said to be incredibly safe to operate. He also has visions of his reactor design being used to power mankind’s space voyages of the future.

His fission reactor design is smaller by design and he states that the components can be mass-produced, on assembly lines. Henry Ford change the world with similar ideas about automobile production.
The Wilson reactors will be smaller, far safer, lower in cost and at least 50% more efficient than present designs. That means about 50% more electric power generation, when compared to the present day nuclear reactors.
He states that the final cost of the electricity produced will be competitive with natural gas-powered electric power generation.
Nuclear fission reactors typically require that their fuel rods be replaced approx every 12 to 18 months. The Taylor Wilson nuclear fission reactor design has the nuclear fuel being replaced every 30 years. That will dramatically reduce operating costs and the need for safe and secure storage of waste nuclear fuel rods.
To make the nuclear reactor installation safer and more secure, the Taylor Wilson reactor would be installed underground, Unlike reactors in present use, the Wilson reactor design functions in a non pressurized containment vessel. So if a crack were to develop in the containment vessel, there would be no pressurized release of nuclear material or contaminated gasses.
Unlike at Fukushima Japan, the Wilson reactor can be shutdown by totally stopping the nuclear fission reaction. The danger of hydrogen gas buildup, is also eliminated in the Taylor Wilson design. That in turn eliminates the possibility of a hydrogen explosion and release of nuclear material into the atmosphere which occurred in Japan.
China’s continued growth could be a huge market for the Taylor Wilson designed Nuclear Reactor. Japan could consider his reactors to provide Japan’s power generation needs. Solar and Wind power generation can only supply a comparatively small fractions of Europe’s electric power needs. The Taylor Wilson designed reactors could supply Europe’s requirements and do it very safely and at a cost far lower than present day Solar power generation.
The Taylor Wilson design results in a small reactor, but it is capable of generating 50 megaWatts of electrical power. The more compact design, low-cost and high safety could mean the reactor could also be used by mining and oil companies. One clear customer could be the oil sands developers in Canada. The Taylor Wilson reactors could provide the power to run the steam generators at Alberta oil sands sites, for example. I could go and on.
Based on the above points, I believe that Taylor Wilson stands a very good chance of becoming the world’s first Trillionaire. His design is as much a game changer as Henry Ford’s production lines were.
My suggestion to readers, would be to do more research on Taylor Wilson.
It is my opinion that Taylor Wilson has come up with something that can change the world, much like Henry Ford did…

The Phlegraen Fields Super Volcano in Naples Italy is said to be rising at a rate of 3cm per month.
English: “At Yellowstone and some other volcanoes, some scientists theorize that the earth’s crust fractures and cracks in a concentric or ring-fracture pattern. At some point these cracks reach the magma “reservoir,” release the pressure, and the volcano explodes. The huge amount of material released causes the volcano to collapse into a huge crater—a caldera.” From nps.gov (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The English edition of The Voice of Russia Radio, recently had an interesting post about the Phlegraen Fields Super Volcano in Naples, Italy. The ground there, is said to be rising monthly along with surface soil temperatures. Much like a balloon expanding, while being filled with super hot gas and magma. Continue reading
ITER Fusion Reactor experiment gets approval. Will there be an Earth Pole shift, when the reactor powers up for Nuclear Fusion?

When the ITER experiment attempts nuclear fusion, the temperature inside the magnetic field will be approx 150 Million degrees Celsius. The visible surface of the sun is only approx 5,500 degrees Celsius. The core of the sun is said to be approx 15 million degrees Celsius. Continue reading
Wake Up call for Canada. Wages in Mexico now lower than those in China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and South Korea.

While China’s exports have grown, many have lost sight of Canada’s other Neighbor. With the Free Trade agreement Goods can flow from Mexico into the US and into Canada. A lot of new US Production has moved to Mexico.
Now it seems that labour costs in Mexico are lower than in China. In 2010 the average wage in China was under $2.00 per hour. I would suspect that it is now still under $3.00 per hour. Wages in China are rising due to worker shortages.
A new report published by Bank of America Merrill Lynch claims that Mexican wages are now lower than Chinese wages. The disparity should continue to increase. China’s labour shortages are the driver to increasing wages in China. Continue reading
Curreny War in Asia could now get underway. Japan bets over $1 Trillion to try and increase inflation to 2 percent.

North Korea is a distraction, at least till May. Japan just fired the first round of what I believe could be the coming Currency War in Asia. China has never forgotten, nor forgiven Japan for the atrocities during the Japanese occupation of China during World War 2. Chinese citizen have held huge demonstrations and called for boycotts of Japanese firms, goods and services. Continue reading
Polar Bear populations in Canada are rising and have been for years.

Yes, those cuddly Polar Bear cubs turn into Land Sharks. Remember the melting Polar Bear ice sculpture of the Copenhagen Global Warming gathering?
You know the UN Conference a few years back, which filled Copenhagen’s airport with Private Jets and planes had to be diverted to other airports to land. Yes, that one where limousines had to be brought in from all over Europe to ferry around those attending the UN Global Warming Conference. Hey, you didn’t expect them to use public transit?
Don’t believe me? Just do a quick Google Search on “Copenhagen climate summit: 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar wedges“. Continue reading
Opportunity knocks. Yearly, 160 Billion disposable chopsticks are produced in China. That’s a lot of disposable trees being cut down.

Interesting article found in the Times Of India, on Mar 11 2013 (I’ll provide a link to that article below). It was about chopstick production in China. What are Chopsticks? They are two narrow and straight sticks of wood. Both are held by the fingers of one hand and are used to pickup food from a dish and transport it to one’s mouth.
Visit a local Chinese Restaurant and many will provide you with disposable chopsticks. Lots of fun for Westerners to try. Surprisingly, Chopsticks can be very efficient once you get the hand of using them.
The article gives a few figures about Disposable Chopstick production in China. They quote 80 Billion pairs produced yearly. That’s 160 billion chopsticks. Continue reading

Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed Earth on Feb 15 2013. At approximately 14:25 it reached its closest point to the Earth. NASA’s calculation was spot on. They knew that even the our satellites would be safe.
One point which should not be forgotten, is that any object which crosses Earth’s path will eventually one day hit Earth itself. The next time that there might be a chance of an impact, with the Feb 15 2013 Asteroid, will be in 2080.
It is thought that if an Asteroid was further away from Earth than our Moon, there was nothing worry about. Continue reading
