1…………> Snooping Glasses: China Police

If someone is looking for a mischief, they should certainly stay out of China since the police has been equipped with special glasses that tap into China’s state database to root out potential criminals using facial recognition, allowing officers to identify suspects in a crowd by snapping their photo and matching it to the database. Beyond a name, officers are also supplied with the person’s address, and the technology has already facilitated the capture of seven individuals, while 35 others using fake IDs are said to have been found.

 Welcome to Mr. Xi China “communism” at play.

2…………> A Message Of Peace

Turn of the channel on people who have offended and demeaned the teachings of our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, also known as Rabbi Emmanuel. Walk away, let them dry on the scorching sun. Listen to the sound of Christus Vincit, a message of peace and hope.

3………….> The Light Of The Stars: 100 Petawatt Laser

Physicists in Shanghai are constructing what they call a ‘Station of Extreme Light’, a laser with intensity 10 trillion trillion times greater than the sunlight striking earth that can be so powerful it can produce 100-petawatt laser pulses  that would distort the Riemann geometry of space.


To give an idea of the power of such a light quanta, it is 10,000 times the power of all the world’s electrical grids combined.

4…………>The Big Red Power: China’s Silver Screen

The Special Forces of the emerging “Great Red Surprise” and 2nd world’s superpower China are increasingly likely to be the heroes of the silver screen in the world’s second-largest movie market, proudly flying the Chinese flag, as a new action film, Operation Red Sea relives the true story of the Chinese Navy evacuating hundreds of Chinese and foreign nationals from Yemen during a conflict three years ago.

Who will be the Chinese equivalents to Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas, Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney is not yet known, but one thing is true for sure: 

Moviegoers in China, like the rest of the world, will celebrate the raise of their country as a great power on the world’s stage, and adore their heroes on the silver screen, until a bloody war in some God forsaken place cracks the illusion into millions of broken pieces, bringing fear and humility back to the masses, as has been happening for millennias to the endless “great civilizations” that have perished in the dust of time.

5…………> OxyContin Stop: Purdue Pharm

Purdue Pharmacy, the maker of the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin will no longer market opioids to doctors, after agreeing to pay $634.5 million fines in 2007 and pleading guilty to federal charges related to misleading the public about the risks of OxyContin.

It was the world’s top-selling opioid painkiller, unfortunately drug abusers quickly discovered they could snort or inject crushed pills to induce a heroin-like high.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 42,000 people died from opioid-related overdoses in 2016. That’s about 115 deaths per day. Most opioid deaths involve illicit drugs such as heroin.

6…………> US Life Expectancy: Downtrend

The rate of fatal drug overdoses in US surged 137% between 2000-2014, and  deaths from alcohol abuse and suicide dramatically increased by 24% percent. White middle-aged Americans, people with limited education, women and those in rural areas experienced the largest increase in suicide rates.

“The problem is concentrated in rural, largely white counties that have often struggled for many years with stagnant wages, unemployment, poverty and the loss of major industries that fueled local economies. We are seeing an alarming increase in deaths from substance abuse and despair,” co-author of a report published the British Medical Journal Steven Woolf said about the latest data on US life expectancy that was set at 78.6 years, a 0.1-year drop from 2015.
