An out-of-control spent rocket launched by China in recent days is racing back towards Earth and what’s left of it is expected to impact Earth at some point in the coming days.
Nearly on the one year anniversary of a similar event that unfolded last year on May 11 by the identical rocket type, the U.S. government is once again monitoring the skies for the potential impact of this space junk.
Because it is out of control and moving erratically, experts aren’t sure exactly where it will land until an hour or two before it does; because it’s moving at speeds of over 15,000 mph, it may be too late to warn people of the impending impact zone.

The mystery over where it will land is increasingly concerning, but take it with a grain of salt. After all, scientist believe most of the parts will burn up in the atmosphere prior to any impact with the crust of the planet.
That’s the good news, but on the other flipside there are possibilities that little tiny pieces will fall down and rain from the sky. Well the sky may not necessarily be falling, we all want to avoid that strange Donnie Darko moment.
According to the biggest selling points of Enten, the company that created the product: The head phones know when you are listening actively or distracted.. if you become distracted, they boast, the music will increase in volume to regain your attention…
There are sensors in each ear pad which detect the electrical signals in the brain, so it can send the data back via bluetooth to a smartphone app.
They can turn your smartphone notifications off too, in order to “minimise distractions” when someone is “in the zone”.
The brain-computer interface headphones have been developed by American firm Neurable.
Users will be told when they are in need of a break and what times of the day they seem to be most productive.
Dr Ramses Alcaide, the company’s founder, said its research shows people only have two to three hours of high productivity in their day.
He wrote in a blog post: “Enten lets you know how and when that happens so you can maximize your time without overextending your brain.

Technology that can read your mind and emotion…
None of this is becoming creepy.. just normal..
But do you ever get the sense that technology has been reading your mind for years already?
While many in America have moved beyond the 2020 nightmare of COVID-19, others are warning that despite vaccines we all should be concerned about variants sweeping the globe..
This collection of news links signifies various stories making global headlines.. from US vaccine rates surging past 100 million Americans to India and Brazil being crippled by new waves..
India is reeling.. America is vaccinating.. And China is worried?
According to late week reports, a ‘double mutant strain’ of COVID is now infecting cities in China..
Wu Zunyou revealed the “Indian variant” had been found in “some Chinese cities,” without elaborating. The news has sparked intense discussion online about stricter border controls amid the five-day Labor Day break beginning Saturday…
Citizens are rightly concerned about the variant, Wu said, noting: “The virus has been mutating since the start of the pandemic.” It will not stop mutating until the pandemic is over, he added. “Implementing containment measures is key to stopping the spread of mutant strains, and also to prevent the occurrence of new mutations,” the senior health official said.
Federal agencies are investigating at least two possible incidents on US soil, including one near the White House in November of last year, that appear similar to mysterious, invisible attacks that have led to debilitating symptoms for dozens of US personnel abroad.Multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CNN that while the Pentagon and other agencies probing the matter have reached no clear conclusions on what happened, the fact that such an attack might have taken place so close to the White House is particularly alarming. Defense officials briefed lawmakers on the Senate and House Armed Services Committees on the matter earlier this month, including on the incident near the White House. That incident, which occurred near the Ellipse, the large oval lawn on the south side of the White House, sickened one National Security Council official, according to multiple current and former US officials and sources familiar with the matter. — Read on www.cnn.com/2021/04/29/politics/us-investigating-mysterious-directed-energy-attack-white-house/index.html

New information is circulating through the socials and anti socials this weekend about more attacks..
The Democratic and Republican leaders of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee said on Friday incidents similar to suspected “directed” radio frequency attacks on U.S. diplomats appear to be increasing and the committee was investigating. In a statement, Senators Mark Warner, the committee’s Democratic chairman, and Marco Rubio, its Republican vice chairman, said they have been aware for nearly five years of the mysterious attacks on U.S. government personnel in Havana, Cuba and elsewhere around the world.”This pattern of attacking our fellow citizens serving our government appears to be increasing. The Senate Intelligence Committee intends to get to the bottom of this,” they said.
Meanwhile Joe Biden says he doesn’t know anything about it!
At that time, there were various reports of ‘invisible wall’ attacks in Cuba.
A United States diplomat reported being hit by some sort of invisible wall that … moved through him…?
From the AP several years ago:
The blaring, grinding noise jolted the American diplomat from his bed in a Havana hotel. He moved just a few feet, and there was silence. He climbed back into bed. Inexplicably, the agonizing sound hit him again. It was as if he’d walked through some invisible wall cutting straight through his room. Soon came the hearing loss, and the speech problems, symptoms both similar and altogether different from others among at least 21 U.S. victims in an astonishing international mystery still unfolding in Cuba. The top U.S. diplomat has called them “health attacks.” New details learned by The Associated Press indicate at least some of the incidents were confined to specific rooms or even parts of rooms with laser-like specificity, baffling U.S. officials who say the facts and the physics don’t add up. “None of this has a reasonable explanation,” said Fulton Armstrong, a former CIA official who served in Havana long before America re-opened an embassy there. “It’s just mystery after mystery after mystery.”
A U.S. government employee in southern China suffered a brain injury after reporting strange “sensations of sound and pressure,” a strikingly similar account to what American personnel experienced in recent years in Cuba, State Department officials said on Wednesday. In a health alert to American citizens in China posted online Wednesday, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China said an employee stationed in the sprawling port city of Guangzhou had “recently reported subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure.” The cause of the reported symptoms remains unknown.
The House Intelligence Committee is also working on the issue, and a spokesman for House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, said the reported attacks affecting personnel in Havana and around the world “are of grave concern,” adding that recent intelligence authorization legislation gave the CIA director more authority to provide benefits to those injured by hostile acts.”We have been working quietly and persistently behind closed doors on this critical issue since the first reports, and pressed Director Burns on it during the recent Worldwide Threats hearing, in both open and closed session,” the spokesperson said. “The Committee will continue to hold events and briefings on this subject and we will follow the evidence wherever it may lead and ensure anyone responsible is held to account.”
All we can find is Skeletor and HE-MAN.. a few Man-At-Arms and a few Prince Adams.. But there are so many HE-MAN 2020/21 releases at Walmart that are not showing up.
Are you having better luck?
x x x
We are referring to the the new line of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE toys that has been released by Mattel in 2020 and now in 2021. We were able to score several, including He-Man, Skeletor, Tea-La, Evil-Lyn, Beast Man, Man-at-Arms, and Roboto.. but we are lacking so many others…
The shortage of toys .. is it on purpose? By accident?
Will stores across America one day be overwhelmed?
We know that local fans are trying to locate them as much as we are.. when we visit Walmarts in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Jersey, and Tennessee, we are greeted with HE-MAN toys messed up.. taken off shelves.. people are actively searching for the latest waves.
And not finding them anywhere..
Collect them all!?
How about … find even one new one!! Good luck on that!
The most famous soundtrack in movie history, used even today in various cartoons and even Batman lego games… makes the composer angry?!
Yes!
“I could have scored the film with some percussion, a harmonica, and a banjo because all you hear are some percussion hits in big moments, but you can’t really hear what the orchestra is doing,” says composer Danny Elfman.
The hit score, which has become synonymous with the Dark Knight since 1989, apparently strikes a sour note with Elfman. He spoke on the Premier Guitarpodcast..
“I was terribly unhappy with the dub in Batman,” Elfman said. “They did it in the old school way where you do the score and turn it into the ‘professionals’ who turn the nobs and dub it in. And dubbing had gotten really wonky in those years. We recorded [multi-channel recording on] three channels — right, center, left, — and basically, they took the center channel out of the music completely.” “It didn’t have any care put into it. I’ve had many scores play in big action scenes that really propelled the scene. And in the end of the [Batman] dub, I realized I could have had the orchestra play anything. I could have scored the film with some percussion, a harmonica, and a banjo because all you hear are some percussion hits in big moments, but you can’t really hear what the orchestra is doing.”
“That was my first lesson in how so-called professionals can take a score and the soundtrack to a movie and just do their thing in a very noncommittal way that is easiest for them; plunk it off to the side and just get the dialogue.”

All of this critical commentary.. of HIS MOST FAMOUS SCORE!!??!
Perhaps he hears something we don’t.. or something different.
To refresh your BAT BRAIN, here is a the score itself.. in all its glory. (Our opinion only apparently) … Oh, the Youtube video is published on the official Danny Elfman Youtube channel, just an FYI 🙂
The horrible scourge of COVID-19 has decimated so much of India over the past week.. It is truly a horror show to see some of the images coming from the nation. We saw one video recently where two sons were transferring their deceased mom on a motorbike..
The numbers are sickened are rising into the hundreds of thousands by the day. Some conservative estimates say that there will be one million or more dead in that nation by August.
The United States has largely been able to brag up its vaccine over the previous 100 days of the Biden Administration, but this India problem seems extremely concerning. What variants? What kind of a wave.. will this effect the rest of the planet just as we want to rid earth of the plague?
The Biden administration will restrict travel from India as that country grapples with a gigantic surge in coronavirus cases, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday.
The policy will take effect Tuesday, May 4, Psaki said in a statement. The administration made the decision on the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, she said.
India has reported an average of about 357,000 new cases per day over the past seven days — up about 26% from a week ago, Johns Hopkins data shows.
Just consider this too: 32.69% positivity rate in Delhi, India..
Concerning the variant, it seems that India is being hit by the highly contagious Covid variant, known as B.1.617, which was first spotted there. The variant, which contains two key mutations that have been found separately in other coronavirus strains, is believed by some to be behind the latest wave of infections.
NEW DELHI — As he surveyed the thousands of people gathered at an election rally in eastern India on April 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared jubilant. “Everywhere I look, as far as I can see, there are crowds,” he said, his arms spread wide. “You have done an extraordinary thing.” At the time, India was recording more than 200,000 coronavirus cases a day. In the western state of Maharashtra, oxygen was running short, and people were dying at home because of a shortage of hospital beds. In Modi’s home state of Gujarat, crematoriums were being overwhelmed by the dead. Those scenes were just a prelude to the devastation now unfolding in India. It is recording more infections daily — at last count 379,000 — than any other country since the start of the pandemic. Hospitals are turning away severely ill patients, and their relatives are frantically searching for medical oxygen.
Elizabeth Warren and others are urging President Biden to assist with vaccines in India..
The COVID-19 outbreak in India is a humanitarian crisis that threatens its 1.4 billion citizens, and billions more around the world. I’m urging President Biden – and our vaccine manufacturers – to use every tool possible to help with this crisis. https://t.co/9TgUuyJeKg
Just a note this, website is not trying to be a constant harbinger of doom and gloom.. but wow.. these India numbers are atrocious and concerning. IF you are not concerned you are not normal..
And this “ban” is not a complete ban.. and it starts May 4..
How much of the India strain already got out to the rest of the world…?

This is very reminiscent if the ‘Havana syndrome’ which made United States diplomats sick in Cuba several years ago. There was no public explanation at that time but a number of sources chattered about what weapon or source was causing the vertigo, sickness and effects.
This new weapon or whatever we are seeing is troublesome .. especially when it’s hitting the center of the United States government …
Stay watching this one and keep tuned in for more stories that explain further or maybe make the mystery deepen.
This situation in India is heartbreaking .. and if models are right it can further spiral out of control with more than a million potentially dead by August. Several are questioning current numbers stating that they don’t believe the numbers at this time..
