A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about the Republican congress woman Michele Bachmann, who would like to be the next president of the USA. At the beginning I thought, that Ms. Bachmann is a special case, a one of her kind. But than I came across some clips on Youtube of the Governor of Texas Rick Perry. Who also wants to be the candidate of the Republicans to run for the presidency of the USA. In the clip Mr. Perry states that he...

Whether the Climate Change is actually is happening is not really clear yet, but some strange things are indicating that it just might happen.

It seems Lockheed-Martin wants to build an airship, the p-791 (2). Considering the products of the company, the military aspect is not surprising. I am happy to see though, that even international companies are discovering the potential of alternative technology. What we, at Nesseq, always say;...

The first two third’s of the year 2011 are over. The year is sliding slowly to the end. Adieu 2011, welcome 2012! Despite all the doomsday scenarios, based on the Mayan calender (1) and what not, we all can rest assured that life will go on like always. Well, more or less, for someone it will better, for another it will be worse. Still the year 2012 will be fateful one, globally speaking. At the end of the coming year the president of...
