 An international team of astronomers has managed to compile the first temperature map of 55 Cancri e, a rocky ‘super-Earth’ exoplanet thought to have twice the diameter of Earth, according to NASA. The first thermal map of the exoplanet 55 Cancri e has been compiled by researchers using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope; the map reveals extreme temperature swings from one side of the planet to the other, something that may be attributable to lava flows, NASA reported. The exoplanet was the first super-Earth to be discovered; the term refers to exoplanets (planets discovered outside our solar system) which are larger than Earth but smaller than gas giants such as Neptune and Uranus. Referring to the 55 Cancri e, Brice Olivier Demory of the University of Cambridge lead author of a report published by the journal Nature, said that “our view of this planet keeps evolving.” “The latest findings tell us the planet has hot nights and significantly hotter days. This indicates the planet inefficiently transports heat around the planet,” he said. He added that “could be explained by an atmosphere that would exist only on the day side of the planet, or by lava flows at the planet surface.” The thermal map reveals a dramatic temperature difference of 2,340 degrees Fahrenheit (1,027 Celsius) from one side of the planet to the other. The hottest side is nearly 4,400 degrees Fahrenheit (2,427 Celsius), and the coolest is 2,060 degrees Fahrenheit (1,127 Celsius), according to NASA. The findings baffled the researchers, given that atmospheres tend to take the heat from the day side and spread it around to the dark side, NASA said, adding that the research suggests that 55 Cancri could be devoid of a massive atmosphere as such. Discovered in 2004, 55 Cancri e is about 40 light-years away from Earth and is thought to be eight times as massive. Source           |

 So a kid named Emanuel got jumped this week for wearing a Trump T-shirt at school. He posted photos of the bloody bathroom. He also posted a photo of his tooth that got knocked out during the assault. The #NeverTrumpers (Cruz supporters, black lives matter, Bernie Supporters and liberals) mocked the boy on Twitter. Disgusting.   Continue      |

 The Havana Tribune, a state-controlled Cuban newspaper, has added insult to injury following Fidel Castro’s scathing criticism of President Barack Obama upon his departure from the island. In an editorial, the title of which refers to President Obama as “negro,” an opinion columnist has accused him of “inciting rebellion.” The article is titled “Negro, ¿Tu Eres Sueco?” which roughly translates to “Black Man, Are You Dumb?” (The idiom “pretend to be a Swede” means to play dumb, hence the title is literally asking, “Are you Swedish?”) The author, who is black, goes on to condemn President Obama for meeting with Cuban pro-democracy activists and “subtly” suggesting that the Cuban Revolution needed to change. “Obama came, saw, but unfortunately, with the pretend gesture of lending a hand, tried to conquer,” Elias Argudín writes. “[Obama] chose to criticize and subtly suggest … incitations to rebellion and disorder, without caring that he was on foreign ground. Without a doubt, Obama overplayed his hand,” he continues. “The least I can say is, Virulo-style: ‘Negro, are you dumb?’” Virulo is a white pro-Revolution comedian. Argudín’s article later accuses President Obama of presiding over a racist country–mocking the calls for freedom in Cuba by stating, “Which freedom–the freedom enjoyed by white police to massacre and manhandle black people?”–and issue demands parroted straight from the Castro regime: the end of the “genocidal” embargo and giving the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base, which has belonged to the United States since before Cuban independence, to the Castros.

 A statement by Wolfgang Fellner in the daily Austrian newspaper “Österreich” has created outrage among local Muslims. In a recent edition the journalist stated: “Now we must permit discussions about whether or not Islam as such should be banned in Europe.” According to the Islamic faith community in Austria, Fellner is thus attacking “the central human right of religious freedom,” and that Fellner’s statement “should not be passed in silence,” said spokeswoman of the Islamic Community in Austria (IGGiÖ), Carla Amina Baghajati, in a press release. Islam is a recognized religion in Austria. The statement in the Austrian paper, comes just days after an editorial in the large Italian newspaper Il Giornale, suggested the same. These newspapers are regarded as very mainstream, and are not some far-right publications, which have suggested the same for years. It comes after terrorist attacks committed by Muslims, and the lack of will to combat Islamic terrorism by so-called moderate Muslims, who have a hard time protesting the verses of Jihad in the Quran, which naturally would be to acknowledge that the Quran is not perfect.

If the west is so racist and Islamophobic, why does every 3rd world immigrant want to move here? Defecating in public, raping boys, eating tiger penises. All examples of bad cultures. Cultural relativism is bullsh*t. The west is the best. We need to safeguard western civilization now more than ever before. Source     |
