While investigating the issue, Captain Rual Lee discovered a strange thick, black tar-like substance that seemed to be oozing out of the rudder.
Unable to determine what it was, he sent a sample to the University of Minnesota Duluth.
When researchers analyzed the substance, they discovered that it contained 20 DNA sequences and while many could be identified, several were completely novel and unknown to science.
They concluded that the substance - now known as 'ShipGoo1' - is a single-celled organism.
"The biggest surprise was that the ship goo had life in it at all," said lead researcher Cody Sheik.
"We thought we'd find nothing. But surprisingly, we found DNA and it wasn't too destroyed, nor was the biomass too low."
Unsurprisingly, news of the discovery quickly generated a great deal of debate on social media, with many users comparing the goo to that from 90s TV show The X-Files.
Some also compared it to the substance in Ridley Scott's Prometheus.
At least in this case, however, we won't have to worry about it turning anyone into an alien xenomorph... probably.

So, what are we all supposed to do for a living?🤷🏼♂
Where all the jobs are going and what's being done about it.
Hello. I'm back. I took most of June off, which I am wont to do both midway through the year and in December to collect my thoughts and replenish my energies. Thanks for your patience.
Flesh-Eating Maggots
WHAT?
US to Release Billions of Radiation-Treated Flies to Stop Flesh-Eating Maggots
The US government is preparing a large-scale effort to combat a dangerous parasite by releasing billions of radiation-treated flies over southern Texas and parts of Mexico. The mission aims to stop the spread of flesh-eating maggots that threaten livestock, wildlife, and pets – and, in rare cases, humans.
The target is the New World screwworm fly, whose larvae burrow into the flesh of living animals, causing serious and often fatal injuries. The pest was eradicated from North and Central America decades ago, but it reappeared in southern Mexico late last year, raising fresh alarms.
Sterile flies to stop reproduction in the wild
To prevent the spread of the screwworm fly north, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will breed male screwworm flies in secure facilities, sterilize them using radiation, and release them from aircraft. Sterile males mate with wild females but produce no offspring. Over time, the population declines and collapses. “It’s an exceptionally good technology,” said Edwin Burgess, a professor at the University of Florida. “It’s an all-time great in terms of translating science to solve some kind of large problem.”
Historic method gets renewed urgency
The method is not new. Between 1962 and 1975, the U.S. and Mexico released over 94 billion sterile flies to eliminate the pest. A facility in Panama has since maintained production, releasing up to 117 million sterile flies weekly to keep the fly in check. But with the recent resurgence, the USDA plans to raise that capacity to 400 million per week. The agency will invest $8.5 million to build a fly distribution center in southern Texas by the end of this year and another $21 million to convert a facility in southern Mexico to focus on screwworm flies. A full breeding facility is expected to be operational there by July 2026.
Flies pose a severe risk to animals, and sometimes people
The screwworm fly, known scientifically as Cochliomyia hominivorax, roughly translates to “man-eater,” according to the USDA. Unlike most fly species that feed on dead tissue, this one targets live flesh. Female flies lay eggs in open wounds or on moist tissue. “A thousand-pound bovine can be dead from this in two weeks,” said Michael Bailey, president-elect of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Although veterinarians can treat infected animals, the condition causes severe pain. Don Hineman, a retired Kansas rancher, remembers the impact from his youth. “It smelled nasty,” he said. “Like rotting meat.”
Feeding, security, and safety pose challenges
Breeding the flies is complex. Females must be prompted to lay eggs, and larvae need nutrient-rich diets. In the past, horse meat and honey were used; however, today’s labs use blends of egg powder and cattle blood.
In nature, larvae drop to the ground to develop into adults. In the lab, workers replicate this with sawdust trays. Strict precautions are taken to prevent any fertile flies from escaping. Aerial release, while effective, carries risks. Last month, a plane dropping sterile flies crashed near the Guatemala border, killing three people.
Despite the challenges, experts stress that preparedness is key. “Something we think we have complete control over – can always rear its ugly head again” Burgess said.

Earthquakes Make Gold Veins in an Instant
Scientists have long known that veins of gold are formed by mineral deposition from hot fluids flowing through cracks deep in Earth’s crust. But a study published in Nature Geoscience1 has found that the process can occur almost instantaneously — possibly within a few tenths of a second.
The process takes place along ‘fault jogs’ — sideways zigzag cracks that connect the main fault lines in rock, says first author Dion Weatherley, a seismologist at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.
When an earthquake hits, the sides of the main fault lines slip along the direction of the fault, rubbing against each other. But the fault jogs simply open up. Weatherley and his co-author, geochemist Richard Henley at the Australian National University in Canberra, wondered what happens to fluids circulating through these fault jogs at the time of the earthquake.

For example, a magnitude-4 earthquake at a depth of 11 kilometres would cause the pressure in a suddenly opening fault jog to drop from 290 megapascals (MPa) to 0.2 MPa. (By comparison, air pressure at sea level is 0.1 MPa.) “So you’re looking at a 1,000-fold reduction in pressure,” Weatherley says.
Flash in the pan
When mineral-laden water at around 390 °C is subjected to that kind of pressure drop, Weatherley says, the liquid rapidly vaporizes and the minerals in the now-supersaturated water crystallize almost instantly — a process that engineers call flash vaporization or flash deposition. The effect, he says, “is sufficiently large that quartz and any of its associated minerals and metals will fall out of solution”.Eventually, more fluid percolates out of the surrounding rocks into the gap, restoring the initial pressure. But that doesn’t occur immediately, and so in the interim a single earthquake can produce an instant (albeit tiny) gold vein.
Big earthquakes will produce bigger pressure drops, but for gold-vein formation, that seems to be overkill. More interesting, Weatherley and Henley found, is that even small earthquakes produce surprisingly big pressure drops along fault jogs.
“We went all the way to magnitude –2,” Weatherley says — an earthquake so small, he adds, that it involves a slip of only about 130 micrometres along a mere 90 centimetres of the fault zone. “You still get a pressure drop of 50%,” he notes.
That, Weatherley adds, might be one of the reasons that the rocks in gold-bearing quartz deposits are often marbled with a spider web of tiny gold veins. “You [can] have thousands to hundreds of thousands of small earthquakes per year in a single fault system,” he says. “Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, you have the potential to precipitate very large quantities of gold. Small bits add up.”
Weatherley says that prospectors might be able to use remote sensing techniques to find new gold deposits in deeply buried rocks in which fault jogs are common. “Fault systems with lots of jogs can be places where gold can be distributed,” he explains.
But Taka’aki Taira, a seismologist at the University of California, Berkeley, thinks that the finding might have even more scientific value. That’s because, in addition to showing how quartz deposits might form in fault jogs, the study reveals how fluid pressure in the jogs rebounds to its original level — something that could affect how much the ground moves after the initial earthquake.
“As far as I know, we do not yet incorporate fluid-pressure variations into estimates of aftershock probabilities,” Taira says. “Integrating this could improve earthquake forecasting.”
The study was published in the journal Nature. 2016: https://www.geologyin.com/2016/10/earthquakes-make-gold-veins-in-instant.html

Great Oxidation Event
Oxygen on Early Earth May Have Come From Quartz Crushed by Earthquakes
Billions of years ago, crushed quartz reacting with water could
have created the conditions needed for the evolution of the
photosynthetic microbes responsible for most of the oxygen now in Earths
atmosphere
Earthquakes and other geological processes may have
enabled oxygen-producing reactions that shaped the evolution of some of
Earth’s earliest organisms.
Today, oxygen makes up around a fifth
of Earth’s atmosphere, with most of it produced by plants and microbes.
It didn’t start that way. There was very little oxygen in the
atmosphere until levels spiked during the Great Oxidation Event between
2.4 billion and 2.3 billion years ago thanks to the rapid spread of
microbes that release oxygen through photosynthesis.

A team of geochemists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with colleagues from the University of Hong Kong, Tianjin University and the University of California, has found evidence that suggests much of the oxygen in early Earth's early atmosphere may have come from rocks. In their study, reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group conducted lab experiments involving crushing rocks, exposing the results to water and measuring reactive oxygen species that were emitted.
Prior research has shown that Earth experienced what has been called the Great Oxidation Event approximately 2.3 to 2.4 billion years ago. During this time, microbe numbers increased dramatically, as they released oxygen during photosynthesis.
But prior research has also suggested that a common life ancestor existed before the Great Oxidation Event, which further suggests that there was some amount of oxygen exposure. In this new effort, the researchers suggest that such oxygen could have come from rocks interacting with water.
The work involved crushing samples of quartz and then exposing them to water, which replicates some of the conditions that existed on early Earth prior to the rise of high levels of oxygen in the atmosphere. Adding water to freshly crushed quartz, the researchers found, led to reactions between the water and newly broken crystals.
This resulted it the formation of molecular oxygen along with other reactive oxygen species like hydrogen peroxide. Such species are also known as free radicals and they would have played an important role in the evolution of early life. This is because by damaging DNA and other cell components, the free radicals would have pressured early life to adapt.
The researchers suggest a variety of events could have led to the release of such materials, such as earthquakes, erosion or the movement of glaciers. They further suggest that similar processes could be happening on other planets right now—with Mars sandstorms, for example, or fluctuating tides on moons that have water. Such processes, they point out, could produce oxygen, which could be play a role in the development of life.

Agenda 2030 is Already Complete
(No AI was used in the creation of this article, please forgive any grammatical errors)
I semi-recently wrote about the coming deception of the world and how almost everyone will accept the Mark of the Beast, the new world order, and be deceived by the Antichrist. I also wrote on how we have already lost the battle against the implementation of the Beast System, but most don’t realize how far back the deception relating to the end times, MOB, and Beast System has really gone. I will attempt to show you how far back these technologies go, how advanced they really are, and why Agenda 2030 is not what most believe it to be.
Agenda 2030 is Already Complete
The wireless body area network, (WBAN), is already complete, and has been for decades. The lie that most awake people believe is that the MOB and WBAN are things of the future, and that these haven’t been implemented yet. Most believe that the NWO is scheduled to be implemented on or around 2030, but this is actually incorrect, as 2030 is not the goalpost of implementation. We think that we “know” the Beast System is going to be implemented because the Bible tells us, but what if we have been deceived again. The Bible is not wrong about the Beast System implementation, but our timeline is off. Agenda 2030 isn’t the year that the MOB and Beast System will be implemented, it is the year that the masses will be made aware of the system. Right now everyone has the illusion of freedom and choice, but 2030 marks the unveiling of our captivity to the average person. We have already been slaves in captivity for decades, but nobody knows it yet. There are no distinct countries anymore, every country is owned by Satan’s “Jews.” The NWO has already been set up, and we now have a one world government. Agenda 2030 marks not the beginning or implementation of the NWO, but the “beginning” to the average person, as all of this technology has already been in us for decades. The only change is that people will be made aware of it.
Brain Control and Other advanced V2K Technology Since at Least 1951
Most people think COVID is when we started being turned from human to synthetic, but it was long before that. There are numerous patents for brain controlling and cell hacking technologies that go back much earlier than the 21st century. The explosion of technology was preplanned like everything else, and this means that they had access to all of the “new” technology today well before we were ever made aware of it. AI is not a recent invention having existed since the 1950s, and is not isolated to the 21st century. Neither are many of these other advanced technologies.
Charles M Harden and Marshall Curtis could read subjects brain waves by applying light stimulation to brain and reading the response in 1953. This means that V2K has existed since at least the 1950s in public records, but in reality it has probably been in existence since much earlier. Humans have been aware of frequencies and how to harness energy for thousands of years, such as the pyramids that were built with the intention of harnessing energy and creating specific frequencies. So do you really think that these are all brand new ideas and technology beginning in the 1940/50s.
The Lilly Wave was “discovered” in 1950 and has the ability to control the brain. The Lilly Wave is an ELF that cannot be sensed or picked up on by humans. The water molecules in the brain can be made to resonate at a desired frequency, which causes the electrons that comprise the brain’s electrical voltages to also resonate at that same frequency. This pretty much just means that the Lilly Wave can be used as a targeted resonance of the brains molecules. The Lilly Wave can add any brainwave pattern into the mind of a specific person, manipulating emotions, thoughts, and physical movements. We have had this technology for over 75 years and the Beast System has been in the process of implementation since at least then.
Skim/Scam
For Profit? Absolutely!
America's "Healthcare" System Is Now a Structured Financial Skim/Scam
"Healthcare" grift, graft, fraud and financialized skims / scams will bankrupt the nation.
I've been writing about America's healthcare system for 18 years, emphasizing two enduring themes:
1) our lifestyle is unhealthy, with predictable consequences and 2)
healthcare as it is currently configured will bankrupt the nation all by
itself.
This recent article on how having a baby without complications now costs over $44,000 adds a third theme:
the tragi-comic insanity and absurdity of the "healthcare" system that
has been normalized, as if this is the only possible way to organize
healthcare:
"And They Wonder Why The Birth Rate Is Declining": A Mother Went Viral For Revealing The Costs Of Being Pregnant In America:
Lastly, Kayla reveals that her baby received a bill, too, which added up to $12,761.30 without insurance. For their family of five now, the cost of insurance per month is $2,500 -- a nearly $400 increase from when they were just a family of four. "We're still waiting for him to process on our insurance," she explains, "so, for now, this is the cost without it."
One user said, "America's healthcare system is a joke... how does the newborn have a $12k bill?"It's more than a joke--it's travesty of a mockery of a sham of a system that actually improves health. There's an even darker side of the picture--the takeover of the system by financiers and fraudsters--which truth be told is a redundancy.
We can now add a fourth theme: stripped of purposeful opacity, America's "healthcare" system is nothing more than a structured financial skim/scam. Before we dig into that, here are a few of the dozens of posts I've written on "healthcare" since 2008:

Czech Climate Conference Declares Climate Emergency Over
Watt’s Up with That
A two-day climate conference in Prague, organised by the Czech division of the international Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel), which took place on November 12-13 in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic in Prague, “declares and affirms that the imagined and imaginary ‘climate emergency’ is at an end”.
The communiqué, drafted by the eminent scientists and researchers who spoke at the conference, makes clear that for several decades climate scientists have systematically exaggerated the influence of CO2 on global temperature.
The high-level scientific conference also declared:
“The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which excludes participants and published papers disagreeing with its narrative, fails to comply with its own error-reporting protocol and draws conclusions some of which are dishonest, should be forthwith dismantled.”
The declaration supports the conclusions of the major Clintel report The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC [presented to the Conference by Marcel Crok, Clintel’s co-founder].
Moreover, the scientists at the conference declared that even if all nations moved straight to net zero emissions, by the 2050 target date the world would be only about 0.1 C cooler than with no emissions reduction.
So far, the attempts to mitigate climate change by international agreements such as the Paris Agreement have made no difference to our influence on climate, since nations such as Russia and China, India and Pakistan continue greatly to expand their combustion of coal, oil and gas.
The cost of achieving that 0.1 C reduction in global warming would be $2 quadrillion, equivalent to 20 years’ worldwide gross domestic product.
Finally, the conference “calls upon the entire scientific community to cease and desist from its persecution of scientists and researchers who disagree with the current official narrative on climate change and instead to encourage once again the long and noble tradition of free, open and uncensored scientific research, investigation, publication and discussion”.
