Ebola crisis: ‘Many exposed’ to infected Mali girl
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3219324/posts
Health officials fear many people may have been exposed to Mali’s first Ebola victim - a two-year-old girl. She recently arrived from Guinea, one of the worst affected countries, and has since died. The girl showed symptoms, including a bleeding nose, while travelling on a public bus through several towns, the World Health Organization (WHO) said. Forty-three people, including 10 health workers, who came into contact with her have been identified and isolated ... The child had travelled more than 1,000 km ... [sad snip]

The Left-Wing Hipster Democrat Couple That Exposed NYC to Ebola

[Personal note: While I credit him with courage, his organization, Doctors WITHOUT BORDERS, is an enemy to US sovereignty, to our water supply [illegal immigrants], to our limited oil refinery capacity [illegal immigrants], to our schools [illegal immigrants], and worse. Not only is our public safety threatened with imported diseases, but also with convicted violent criminals, hardcore narcotics, child molesters, and Islamo-Terrorists. So they might be caring doctors, but whoever founded this slice-of-cow-pie organization is an enemy of the US. And now this ebola fiasco, what a ‘lovely gift’ to import. It is largely on them as well as President Ebola.]

Passenger Isolated After Feeling Ill On LAX Flyaway Bus

A passenger who traveled on a Flyaway bus Friday has been isolated for evaluation by paramedics in the downtown area. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, around 2:17 p.m. the passenger approached an MTA security guard and claimed he was feeling very ill, and had been in Nigeria three weeks ago. According to the Department of Public Health, this is not a suspected or possible Ebola case.

Green light for ISIS? Syrian (rebel) forces will be trained to defend, not retake territory.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3219348/posts
[Personal thought: A low-budget military gets more bang-for-the-buck with defense than with offense. Defensive trenches were one of the best tactics used by Confederates during the Civil War, used by Wellington against Napoleon on the Spanish peninsula, and used by Old Hickery back in ‘1814, we took a little trip ...’ Romans often relied heavily on defense as did the Athenians against Sparta. Yes, the Athenians and Confederates ultimately lost, but without walls/trenches, they would never have had a chance. So it’s probably the best our strategists/trainers can do with limited budgeting.]

OKINAWA, Japan—Swooping down to 500 feet over the western Pacific, Cmdr. Bill Pennington pilots his U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft toward an unidentified vessel off southern Japan. In the back of the plane, a heavily modified Boeing 737, the crew homes in on the vessel using a barrage of surveillance equipment, including radar, GPS and infrared cameras. Further down the fuselage stand rows of tube-shaped sonar buoys that the crew can catapult into the sea and that float for up to eight hours as they track objects underwater. This is a dummy run: Today’s target is a Singaporean container... [snip]
[According to my personal studies of Armageddon, China’s navy will one day be next to worthless because the Euphrates River will block a Chinese advance into the Middle East {until the river dries up}. This also means that if ISIS is still around, it will be limited to one side of the river. How these events fall in place remains a mystery. I like to think that the US economy rebounds enough to maintain a superior navy.]

A quantum world arising from many ordinary ones
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3219371/posts
[Alternate reality mind-bender alert...]
The bizarre behaviour of the quantum world — with objects existing in two places simultaneously and light behaving as either waves or particles — could result from interactions between many ‘parallel’ everyday worlds, a new theory suggests. “It is a fundamental shift from previous quantum interpretations,” says Howard Wiseman, a theoretical quantum physicist at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, who together with his colleagues describes the idea in Physical Review X1. Theorists have tried to explain quantum behaviour through various mathematical frameworks. One of the older interpretations envisages the classical world as stemming from the existence of many simultaneous quantum... [snip-in-this-world, not snipping in other]
