Artificial Intelligence is often at the center of debates about the future of work, evoking both excitement and fear. Many envision a world where machines completely take over, leaving humans jobless. While these dystopian visions may seem far off, the reality is that AI has already replaced certain jobs—and most people haven’t even noticed.

Even better if it’s true—something that really happened back in history. There’s just something about not knowing, right? The truth is out there, as […] The post Ten Mysterious “Ghost Ship” Stories That Still Keep Us Wondering appeared first on Listverse.

Simon Holland, a British academic and expert in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, who has produced documentaries for NASA, believes we could be on the verge of the most transformative news in human history. Professor Holland, who has contributed to NASA-funded projects, including one that identifies Earth-threatening asteroids, has revealed that two rival groups of astronomers are racing to be the first to present confirmed evidence of alien life. In an interview with The Mirror, he said: “We have found a non-human extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy, and people don’t know about it.” Simon explained that he learned this information from a source within Mark Zuckerberg’s Breakthrough Listen initiative, a privately funded effort focused on discovering evidence of life beyond Earth. He predicts that this groundbreaking revelation could be made public within the next month, coinciding with the US election. According to him, astronomers involved in the Oxford-based project have gathered undeniable evidence of transmissions from another world, The Mirror reports. “They found evidence of a non-human technological signature a few years ago, using the Parkes telescope in Australia,” Simon reveals. Such extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and the team, financed by billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Yuri Milner, is urgently working to secure additional evidence to support their potentially history-altering discovery. However, Simon warns that they may be overtaken. “This is breaking news as of yesterday, but the Chinese might beat them to the punch with their FAST [Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope] program, the largest telescope in the world since Arecibo,” he said. The coordinates of the target, known as BLC-1, are reportedly known to the Chinese, and both teams are competing to make this prestigious announcement. During a re-examination of data from SETI’s “Seti at Home” screensaver program, five potential techno-signature candidates were identified. According to Simon, BLC-1 is by far the most promising. Regardless of the ultimate source of BLC-1’s signals, Simon stresses that it is unlike any known natural phenomenon. “It’s a single-point source,” he explains, “and it’s not just noise.” The researchers are proceeding with extreme caution before making any declarations, but Simon believes that an announcement could come from either Breakthrough Listen in Oxford or the Chinese team within the next month. “It would be wonderful if it coincided with the first woman in the White House,” he quipped.

I'd check Costco first to see if you can get one there. - Best return policy:) When trying to decide what to freeze dry you can start by asking why. Start by asking yourself this question. Why are you freeze drying food? Knowing this should help you decide what you should freeze dry first. I'm freeze drying because: Just to freeze dry leftovers? You want to make your own food for camping/backpacking? For if/when the SHTF? For a short term emergency? You have your own garden and want to freeze dry the food? You love Costco but don't have a family of 6? You are good at finding the food sales but only have 1 freezer? When you cook homemade chili just for yourself you make 10 gallons? Because you have 3 full freezers and are worried about power outages? If I knew then what I know now, I would have freeze dried things in a different order. Or maybe not, because I started freeze drying because we had 3 full freezers, I was thinking of getting another one, and I decided I should buy a walk-in freezer instead. I started looking into walk-ins and realized they were expensive to buy (even used ones) AND expensive to own and operate. Then I found out Harvest Right was making home sized freeze dryers. One of my first thoughts was "I like Mountain House!" I have used their food for backpacking almost 45 years and we even kept some in our travel trailer, for just in case. Freeze dried food will stay fresh for many years and be ready and waiting when you need it. We do videos showing how we are using our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to freeze dry food for long term storage. (We have the medium size machine that we got in August of 2017) We talk about how to load and unload the freeze dryer, how to know if the food is dry, is it better to freeze dry raw food or cooked food, and do a few taste tests. Freeze dried food is also great for prepping or just for camping and snacking!

  What once began as a celebration of citizenship through “I Am an American Day” has become a broader observance that emphasizes the enduring significance of the Constitution as the foundation of American democracy. Today, Constitution Day serves as a reminder of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and an opportunity to reflect on the Constitution and its ongoing relevance in shaping the country’s future.   Origins and Early Observance Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States by Howard Chandler Christy, 1940. Source: United States Capitol   While the new United States celebrated the signing of the Constitution with parades, public readings (to account for the illiteracy of the time), and celebrations, there was no movement for national remembrance or observations in the following decades. This sentiment shifted following the American Civil War in the late 19th century when the nation underwent rapid industrialization, urbanization, and a massive influx of European immigrants. Sudden questions about American identity among prominent civic organizations and educators led to reevaluating the United States Constitution’s role in American citizenship and the country’s future.   The earliest efforts to celebrate the Constitution came on the 100th anniversary of its signing in 1877 when a group of schoolchildren in New York City organized a modest yet first-of-its-kind celebration. The event consisted of recitations, essays, and discussions about the nation’s founding document. Once local newspapers ran the story, many other schools copied the idea in the following years.   As the idea of a Constitution Day gained traction within schools across the nation, patriotic groups such as the Sons and, later, the Daughters of the American Revolution began promoting the idea of a national day of remembrance. Its members took Constitution Day beyond the confines of the schools and into the broader public consciousness by distributing educational materials on the US Constitution and lobbying for official recognition.   The most notable supporter was none other than the influential newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst. By the early 1900s, the newspaperman was using his media outreach to advocate for the establishment of Constitution Day. He argued that it was essential for all Americans to have a deeper understanding of the Constitution so they could recognize and protect their freedoms and rights. Yet, despite these efforts, those on Capitol Hill did not budge.   Citizenship Day Evolves Naturalized citizens attending an “I Am an American” day rally at the Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo, New York, May 1943. Source: Library of Congress   By the 1930s and 1940s, the world was emerging from the greatest economic depression it had ever seen and heading toward an even more troubling global war. To challenge the perceived faltering national unity where recent immigrants took sides with the belligerents of faraway conflicts, the US Congress passed a resolution designating the third Sunday in May as the official “I am an American Day.”   The premise was to honor citizens, born or naturalized, by celebrating Americans’ diverse backgrounds and promoting a sense of national pride. The day to promote the importance of citizenship was seen as patriotic at a time of global conflict, and many cities and towns across the country held public ceremonies, parades, and speeches.   While many saw “I Am an American Day” as a step in the right direction, the end of the Second World War and America’s new role as a superpower and beacon of democracy around the world, the national sentiment once more shifted toward making the observance more about highlighting the rights and responsibilities all citizens have according to the US Constitution.   In 1952, Congress moved the holiday from May to September 17 and rebranded it as “Citizenship Day.” The date, which marks the anniversary of the signing of the US Constitution, was selected to appease those who called for a stronger connection to the founding document. Where the wartime “I Am an American Day” celebrated citizenship and unity among the American people, the new “Citizenship Day” was designed to stress the responsibilities and rights of the said citizenship.   Falling at a time when students return to school from summer break also allowed schools to dedicate the day toward learning opportunities emphasizing the Constitution, the principles of American democracy, and civil rights.   Constitution Day A copy of the United States Constitution, signed on September 17, 1787. Source: National Archives   However, while the broader focus on the evolving nature of citizenship, the responsibilities that come with it, and the constitutional rights that the Constitution protects made the holiday relevant to contemporary issues, some educators yearned for more.   Spurred on by calls from civic leaders and teachers’ unions nationwide to further link the celebration to the Constitution, in 2004, Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia took up the cause. A staunch advocate for constitutional education and a day explicitly dedicated to the Constitution itself, the senator introduced an amendment to an omnibus spending bill that would designate the September 17 holiday as “Constitution Day.” Motivated by a belief that Americans required a deeper understanding of the founding document and its role in their lives, Byrd added a provision to his amendment requiring all educational institutions receiving federal aid to hold educational programs catered to the study of the Constitution on its newly designated holiday.   Congress passed the amendment officially renaming “Citizenship Day” to “Constitutional Day and Citizenship Day” in 2004. While it is not a federal holiday in the same sense as Presidents’ Day or Labor Day, the amendment’s stipulation and financial component guarantee school participation across the academic landscape, ensuring its observance with various educational activities and events across the country’s schools, universities, and government institutions.
