Science & Reason: tinyurl.com Great Minds, Great Words: We Humans Are Capable Of Greatness (Best of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, Part 20) This is Carl Sagan reading from his book, "Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space". Director Michael Marantz shoots the timelapse for this piece, composes the music and edits. "It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."

Click here to tweet this video!! clicktotweet.com Evan from The Legendary Shots throws a ball from the top of the Vulcan monument in Birmingham, Alabama. To our knowledge, this is the farthest shot (direct distance from shooter to goal) ever made. Whether it's also the longest (horizontal distance) is debatable (Dude Perfect's at Kyle Field is about the same length). THANK YOU VULCAN STAFF! MEASUREMENTS: Height: The platform is 134 feet above ground level, and the ball was released from about 6 feet above the platform. The goal was 10 feet high and was placed about 10 feet below the base of the statue, meaning the height from hoop to shooter was 140 feet. Length: This is harder to tell, but we had a few people pace it off, and they came in at between 50 and 60 paces. The average person's pace is about 3 feet, so the length of the shot is about 150-180 feet. Direct distance: Since height^2 + length^2 = distance^2, the distance from the shooter's hand to the hoop is about 205-228 feet. |

www.MuslimVideo.com ------ Now I have a few questions to Christians, please seek the help of your priest or pastor to answer them 1- who is more powerful Jesus or father? 2- Is God three-in-one and one-in-three simultaneously or one at a time? 3- If God is three and one at the same time, who was the God in Heaven within three days between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrection? 4- is Jesus said in Bible" I'm God and you must worship me" ? , if yes then show me one verse, please don't refer to the verse (John 10 : 30 ) because it doesn't mean I'm your God and you must worship. I need clear verse no interpretation (in quran there are 100's of them clear), just show me only 1 clear verse in bible. 5- if Jesus is God and God died then who controlled the universe? 6- Why does the Bible say that Jesus wanted to die on the cross, when the one on the cross was shouting "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" according to Matthew 27 : 45 and Mark 15 : 33? 7- Christmas = Jesus's birthday then your God has a day of birth; is that make sense to you? 8- Did not Jesus sacrifice himself and forgive our sins,why don't we get all criminals from prison and forgive them if their sins were forgiven? you shouldn't follow your belief? 9- why babies until today still born with Original Sin and they need to be baptized for the forgiveness of sin? didn't Jesus sacrifice for our sins, then why baptism still practicing today? is the sacrifice Jesus made worthless? 10-If the Holy <b>...</b> |

In 2008, BBC cameras filmed two Swedish sisters throwing themselves into traffic on the M6. When it was shown on BBC One, nearly 7 million viewers were glued to their screens, and millions more watched it later on YouTube. The footage was shocking. One previewer wrote "On no account miss this documentary. It opens with what is perhaps the most extraordinary footage I've seen on TV". But this amazing footage was only part of an even more incredible story, one which could not be told at the time for legal reasons. Now, two years later, this documentary reveals the full story of the hours just before the cameras captured that motorway footage, and the even more chilling story of what happened over next 72 hours, which left one of the sisters fleeing the scene of a crime, after she had stabbed a man through the chest. Those who were at the centre of this fascinating legal case, including the police and Crown prosecution service, reveal the complex issues involved in both bringing charges and taking this disturbing case to trial. A leading criminal psychiatrist, Dr. Nigel Eastman, explains the difficulties the judicial system has in achieving justice and deciding punishment when dealing with mental illness. He explains the possible causes of the |

Fundamentals of Physics, II (PHYS 201) Young's double slit experiment shows clearly that light is a wave. (In order to observe the wave behavior of light, the slit size and separation should be comparable or smaller than the wavelength of light.) Interference is described using real and complex numbers (in anticipation of quantum mechanics). Grating and crystal diffraction are analyzed. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

www.weforum.org 30.05.2010 When states were the overwhelmingly dominant actors on the world stage and major policy decisions were commonly decided by a limited group of them, progress on international cooperation tended to be measured by the establishment of new intergovernmental legal frameworks and institutions. In a more complex and interdependent world, how can other potential dimensions of cooperation be more fully exploited, including practical, results-oriented coalitions, better information systems, strengthened existing institutions and more systematic integration of non-governmental expertise and resources?

thinkprogress.org TRANSCRIPT: "Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first," Palin said. "So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first." |

I also do music transcriptions by request! www.scriptions.ca MP3s for all my MPC videos at www.scriptions.ca It was a time of desolation, and a moment of pure determination. "Some day, I'm going to have more hits than that 'Still Alive 2.0'!" They said it was mad. They said there was no way a washed-up 80s pop star video would ever surpass a video game pop-culture phenomenon. They were wrong. On August 22, 2009, a video everyone thought was doomed to take second place... made history. Watch as Still Alive 2.0 now sits behind Thriller for most watched MPC video from GeoffNET!
