But one idea featuring an unlikely hero is causing quite a buzz - literally.Croatian researchers are training sugar-craving honeybees to find unexploded mines littering their country and the rest of the Balkans. When Croatia joins the European Union on July 1, in addition to the beauty of its aquamarine Adriatic sea, deep blue mountain lakes and lush green forests, it will also bring numerous un-cleared minefields to the bloc's territory. About 750 square kilometers (466 square miles) are still suspected to be filled with mines from the Balkan wars in the 1990s. Nikola Kezic, an expert on the behavior of honeybees, sat quietly together with a group of young researchers on a recent day in a large net tent filled with the buzzing insects on a grass field lined with acacia trees. The professor at Zagreb University outlined the idea for the experiment: Bees have a perfect sense of smell that can quickly detect the scent of the explosives. They are being trained to identify their food with the scent of TNT. "Our basic conclusion is that the bees can clearly detect this target, and we are very satisfied," said Kezic, who leads a part of a larger multimillion-euro program, called "Tiramisu," sponsored by the EU to detect land mines on the continent. Several feeding points were set up on the ground around the tent, but only a few have TNT particles in them. The method of training the bees by authenticating the scent of explosives with the food they eat appears to work: bees gather mainly at the pots containing a sugar solution mixed with TNT, and not the ones that have a different smell. Kezic said the feeding points containing the TNT traces offer "a sugar solution as a reward, so they can find the food in the middle." "It is not a problem for a bee to learn the smell of an explosive, which it can then search," Kezic said. "You can train a bee, but training their colony of thousands becomes a problem." Sandia National Laboratories and the University of Montana too have conducted research using honeybees to locate hidden land mines. Croatian officials estimate that since the beginning of the Balkan wars in 1991, about 2,500 people have died from land mine explosions. During the four-year war, around 90,000 land mines were placed across the entire country, mostly at random and without any plan or existing maps. Dijana Plestina, the head of the Croatian government's de-mining bureau, said the suspected devices represent a large obstacle for the country's population and industry, including agriculture and tourism. In the nearly two decades since the end of the war, land mines have taken the lives of 316 people, including 66 de-miners, she said. "While this exists, we are living in a kind of terror, at least for the people who are living in areas suspected to have mines," she said. "And of course, that is unacceptable. We will not be a country in peace until this problem is solved." In 2004, Filipovic and her boyfriend were on a fishing trip that took them to a river between Croatia and Bosnia. "As we were returning hand-in-hand, my boyfriend stepped on a mine," the 41-year-old Filipovic said. "It was an awful, deafening explosion ... thousands of shrapnel parts went flying, hundreds ending up in my body. He was found dead several meters away, while I remained in a pool of blood sitting on the ground." She sued the Croatian government, saying the area wasn't clearly marked as a former minefield. "At first I thought I was asleep," she recalled. "Then I heard the voice of my father. I opened my eyes, and saw nothing. I thought I lost my eyes." The government admitted guilt in the case for failing to keep the minefield sign, but the court has yet to determine financial compensation. It may be a while before the honeybees hit real minefields, Kezic said. First, they will conduct controlled tests, with real mines but which are marked. Kezic said American researchers have in the past experimented with mine-searching bees, but TNT - the most common explosive used in the Balkan wars - wasn't part of their experiment because its smell evaporates quickly, and only small traces remain after time. Rats and dogs are also used to detect explosives worldwide, but unlike bees, they could set off blasts on the minefields because of their weight. Even after the de-miners have done their job in an area, some land mines are missed and remain in the soil, and they are most often the cause of deadly explosions. Once the experiment with bees proves scientifically reliable, the idea is to use them in the areas that have already been de-mined, where their movement would be followed with heat-seeking cameras, Kezic said. "We are not saying that we will discover all the mines on a minefield, but the fact is that it should be checked if a minefield is really de-mined," he said. "It has been scientifically proven that there are never zero mines on a de-mined field, and that's where bees could come in."

The children are both carrying balloons as they walk into the shop and the little girl makes a bee-line for some sweet jars she sees on a table. The girl then appears thrilled when dad helps her pick out the treats before moving to the till to pay. Stevenson, 47, from Cheltenham, Glos, is casually dressed in a dark-coloured jumper, long shorts and flip-flops and appears relaxed with the children as he orders a baguette. There was no hint of the terrible events that were to take place just a few hours later. Brit arrested for killing his children caught on CCTV News JULIAN Stevenson, 48, admitted killing his son, ten, and daughter, five, in his flat after a bitter custody fight with his ex After paying at the counter Stevenson says goodbye and even waves to staff as he leaves the shop, his children in tow. The day out was the first time he had been allowed unsupervised access to his kids since a bitter custody row erupted with ex-wife Stephanie over two years ago. Horrifyingly, later that evening the former haulage depot worker is accused of savagely killing the children in his apartment. Stevenson is said to have carried out the murders in a fit of rage before fleeing - covered in blood - on a pair of rollerskates. He was arrested on Saturday night after the bodies of both children were found in his apartment. And according to judicial sources Stevenson immediately admitted his role in the double-killing. Baker Christophe Drevet, 47, said: "Mr Stevenson came into the shop on Saturday lunchtime with his two children. It was just after 12.30pm. "They seemed happy. The children had balloons and he bought them sweets. There didn't appear to be anything wrong. He also bought a baguette. "We see a lot of him here. He is friendly with my staff and always talks to the servers. "He has always come across as a nice man, but he changes when he drinks. He's not very good with alcohol. "It was obvious he was a foreigner. He spoke French well, but with an accent, we used to joke that he must be from Canada. "I know hundreds of people, everybody comes here to buy their bread, but I remember Mr Stevenson because of his accent. "This tragic incident has shocked everybody. He always appeared to be a good dad and a caring father." Stevenson has been living in France for 10 years. He appeared in handcuffs before a French judge on Monday after being driven into Lyon's Tribunal de Grand Instances complex with his head hidden under a blanket. His wife spoke to prosecutors on Sunday, providing them with their details of her troubled relationship with her ex-husband. Investigators were particularly keen to know who gave the father legal authority to look after the children unsupervised.

(WABC) -- Authorities in Union County have issued an arrest warrant for internet celebrity "Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker" in the murder of Joseph Galfy, Jr. in Clark, New Jersey. The suspect is identified as Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, a 24-year-old Internet celebrity and is well known on Facebook and YouTube as "Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker." McGillvary gained fame online for his intervention in a Feb. 1 attack in Fresno, California. He was riding with a man who drove into a utility worker. The Fresno Bee reported that McGillvary pulled a hatchet from his backpack and struck the driver in the head after he confronted the Pacific Gas & Electric worker. McGillvary is homeless but considers himself "homefree" and relies on the generosity of strangers for food, lodging and transportation. He is also known as Kai Lawrence, Caleb Kai Lawrence and Kai Nicodemus. The victim, Joseph Galfy, was found inside his home on Starlite Drive on Monday after officers received a call to check on his well-being. An autopsy performed the following day determined that Galfy died as a result of "blunt force trauma", according to Union County Prosecutor Theodore J. Romankow. Investigators said Kai met the attorney near Times Square, and a surveillance camera captured images of them. The men later went back to the victim's house, officials said. A post was made to his Facebook page on Tuesday in which Kai claims he was raped by the man. Kai later reached out to some fans in South Jersey, who took him to a train station. He claimed to be headed to Philadelphia and then to Georgia. Based on the investigation, authorities know that McGillvary has cut his hair in an attempt to alter his appearance. He was last seen at a light rail station in the Haddonfield, N.J. area, said Romankow. He is considered to be armed and dangerous. The Union County Homicide Task Force is working with local, state, and Federal officials to locate McGillvary. He is charged with murder in Union County and bail has been set at $3 million by Superior Court Judge Stuart Peim. Anyone with information regarding McGillvary is urged to contact the Union County Prosecutor's Office at 908-219-6735 or Union County Crime Stoppers. A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered in the case. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a04_1368744734 FrankieVegas Internet celebrity "Kai" the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker sought in New Jersey man's murder kai,murder Thu, 16 May 2013 20:08:50 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8ef_1368749179 TheAnswer May 16th, 2013 Philadelphia -- Internet celebrity "Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker" has been arrested in the murder of a Clark, New Jersey man.

The now infamous cannibal Jihadist in Syria is funded with your taxdollars! TIME magazine has identified the cannibal Jihadist in Syria as Khalid al-Hamad. He also goes by the pseudo name Abu Sakkar. A translation of the man's words is "O heroes of Bab Amr, you slaughter the Alawites and take out their hearts to eat them!" The Alawites are a minority Shiite sect that the Jihadists are targeting for indiscriminate killings. Khalid al-Hamad told TIME magazine that he hopes to exterminate the Alawites. The Syrian government is supported by a coalition of Shiites, Christians, Druze, and moderate Sunni Muslims. The regime is a secular Arab nationalist regime, and not a religious one. The uprising is sponsored by Turkey, the Obama administration, and wealthy Sunni Gulf Arabs. Large numbers of the JIhadists are foreign fighters from places like Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Chechnya, and more. Khalid al-Hamad is a Brigade Commander in the Free Syrian Army. The Free Syrian Army has bee given over $300 million worth of aid by the Obama administration. Hillary Clinton has also provided diplomatic support for the organization and defended them before the United Nations. The $300 million is only what is published, and does not count money that came from classified budgets. Khalid al-Hamad is commander of The Farouk Brigade, which uses the same white banner used by the Taliban, has a history of genocidal violence against Alawaites and Christians. Fearful of losing western funding, other leaders of the Free Syrian Army declared today that the Farouk Brigade has gone rouge and is acting independently.

He said it was "the first hopeful news" on Syria for a long time, but cautioned that it was "only a first step". On Tuesday, the US and Russia agreed to convene an international conference to find a political solution on Syria. US Secretary of State John Kerry said they would encourage both Damascus and the opposition to negotiate. The deal came after Mr Kerry's talks in Moscow with President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. 'Wake-up call' "This is the first hopeful news concerning that unhappy country in a very long time," Mr Brahimi said in a statement on Wednesday. "The statements made in Moscow constitute a very significant first step forward. It is nevertheless only a first step." Speaking to the BBC shortly afterwards, Mr Brahimi said he hoped the Moscow announcements would be a wake-up call for all concerned, and that they would now think only of the Syrian people and how Syria could be saved. More than 70,000 people are estimated to have been killed since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in March 2011. Mr Brahimi also stressed that the US-Russian accord meant that the UN Security Council would now be able to function again. The council has so far failed to act on the Syria issue amid differences between the five veto-wielding nations - including Russia. Russia, which supports Mr Assad, has refused to back US pressure designed to force him to step down. Many Syrian opposition groups balk at the idea of negotiating while Mr Assad and his associates remain in power, though that is what the Americans now seem to be proposing, the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut reports. Mr Kerry and Mr Lavrov had announced in Moscow that they would try to organise the international conference - if possible before the end of May. The forum will try to convince both the Syrian government and opposition to accept a solution based on the core elements of the final communique issued on 30 June 2012 , after the UN-backed Action Group for Syria meeting in Geneva. Before the Moscow announcements, Mr Brahimi himself had been on the brink of resignation as the special envoy for Syria, but that now seems no longer to be the case, our correspondent adds. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=993_1368017041 omniradar Syria conflict: Envoy Brahimi hails US-Russia accord !

Researchers have discovered that bee venom kills the virus while leaving body cells unharmed, which could lead to an anti-HIV vaginal gel and other treatments. Scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that melittin, a toxin found in bee venom, physically destroys the HIV virus, a breakthrough that could potentially lead to drugs that are immune to HIV resistance. The study was published Thursday in the journal Antiviral Therapy. "Our hope is that in places where HIV is running rampant, people could use this as a preventative measure to stop the initial infection," Joshua Hood, one of the authors of the study, said in a statement. The researchers attached melittin to nano-particles that are physically smaller than HIV, which is smaller than body cells. The toxin rips holes in the virus' outer layer, destroying it, but the particles aren't large enough to damage body cells. "Based on this finding, we propose that melittin-loaded nano-particles are well-suited for use as topical vaginal HIV virucidal agents," they write. Theoretically, the particles could also be injected into an HIV-positive person to eliminate the virus in the bloodstream. Because the toxin attacks the virus' outer layer, the virus is likely unable to develop a resistance to the substance, which could make it more effective than other HIV drugs. "Theoretically, melittin nano-particles are not susceptible to HIV mutational resistance seen with standard HIV therapies," they write. "By disintegrating the lipid envelope less likely to develop resistance to the melittin nano-particles." The group plans to soon test the gel in clinical trials. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/03/08/study-bee-venom-kills-hiv http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fc8_1362781366 Demonpreyer Study: Bee Venom Kills HIV AIDS,bees,virus,venom Sun, 03 Mar 2013 17:21:23 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=440_1362347931 Demonpreyer TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) Updated: Monday, 11 Feb 2013, 9:05 PM EST Published : Monday, 11 Feb 2013, 9:05 PM EST Brent Frazier - Administrators at the Vigo County School Corporation are trying to figure out how a Muslim family managed to go classroom to classroom Friday morning, handing out religious literature to most every teacher while school was in session. "And we are addressing that, we are making changes," said Ray Azar, the corporation's director of student services. Azar told reporters Monday afternoon that an internal investigation is being launched at Dixie Bee Elementary, the K through 5 school three girls in that Muslim family attend. Azar said those girls and their father were properly approved to drop off cards, with a religious message, and a flower for each teacher at the school. But the family, according to Azar, was never supposed to venture beyond the school's main office. The message on the fliers the family dropped off reads, "Mohammed is a prophet of Mercy. Do not defame people, lest you make them your enemies." The school corporation vehemently denies any claim that it was endorsing a particular religion by allowing the school visit; rather, according to Azar, it was viewed as a lesson in history. Not one school board member was willing to comment on the incident at Dixie Bee Elementary, and the topic did not come up at Monday evening's school board meeting. http://www.wthitv.com//dpp/news/education/muslim-familys-school-visit-prompts-investigation#.UTOxsYJ5kfH Strange how American liberals are silent when this religion does whatever it wants in their public schools. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=440_1362347931 Demonpreyer Muslim family's school visit prompts investigation Islam,Sharia,public schools, liberals,silent
