Two days ago, we announced that Dr. Niels Harrit, the distinguished co-author of the landmark nano-thermite paper, will be appearing in Danish High Court two weeks from now to bring an appeal in his libel suit against the Danish newspaper Weekendavisen. |
It all started back in December 2012 with an article titled “Madness in the Royal Library.” In it, Weekendavisen writer Søren K. Villemoes referred to Dr. Harrit and his fellow 9/11 activists as “crackpots,” while also comparing them to creationists and Holocaust deniers. |
For Dr. Harrit, a scientist who taught chemistry for 40 years at the University of Copenhagan, this amounted to an allegation of scientific misconduct and a baseless attempt to damage his hard-earned reputation. So he decided to seek recourse under Denmark’s strong libel law — and give himself the opportunity to prove ... |
The lower City Court ruled against Dr. Harrit in 2013, basing its decision on politics rather than the law. Dr. Harrit, of course, appealed. |
This time around, he’ll be allowed to submit more evidence, and he is now receiving assistance from attorney Mads Krøger Pramming, chairman of the Danish whistleblower organization Veron. Although Mr. Pramming is providing his services at a greatly reduced rate, he still needs to be compensated for his indispensible as... |
Of course, this is about much more than undoing baseless insults. It’s an opportunity for a leader in the 9/11 Truth Movement to show in a court of law that the science behind controlled demolition is not just legitimate, but overwhelming. |
Moreover, because Dr. Harrit has been a national figure ever since his 2009 appearance on TV2NEWS, the case is likely to be widely covered in the Danish media — especially if he wins! |
Under Danish libel law, Villemoes has the burden of demonstrating a factual basis for his claim. As a journalist, he must also demonstrate that his reporting meets the standards of good journalism. At the first trial, he did neither. Still, the judge egregiously ruled in his favor. |
In the High Court, Villemoes will have a much harder time, because Dr. Harrit is being allowed to submit more evidence — namely, the video of WTC 7’s destruction, as well as an actual sample of the WTC dust, which Dr. Harrit will use to demonstrate the dust’s authenticity, and therefore his good scientific conduct. |
Dr. Harrit will also call two witnesses. One, Jan Utzon, is a world-renowned architect and AE911Truth petition signer who testified previously. The other, Dr. Per Hedegård, is a physics professor from the University of Copenhagan’s Niels Bohr Institute. His statement to a newspaper in 2010 dismissing Dr. Harrit was the... |
Thanks to Dr. Harrit’s relentless pursuit of the truth, we now have an incredible opportunity to achieve some symbolic justice for all 9/11 researchers and activists. |
You can learn more about the case by reading our recently published article. |
We thank you for helping us support Niels Harrit. |
Thousands gathered in Kathmandu to mark one year since a devastating earthquake rattled the country. |
The earthquake raised Nepal's capital of Kathmandu, while lowering areas north of the capital. |
And travelers are confused and frustrated. |
A number of the centuries-old monuments that spread throughout the Kathmandu Valley were heavily damaged in the massive earthquake that struck Nepal. Some suffered "extensive and irreversible damage." |
Christopher Lloyd may not have as big of a celebrity profile as he had in his days as Doc Brown in the Back to the Future franchise, but he still manages to surface in an acting role every now and then. In the last two years the actor has popped up on television shows like 12 Monkeys and The Big Bang Theory, and in 201... |
Christopher Lloyd has joined Guess Who Died not that long after the show was first announced, and will play Mort. Mort is described as a crusty and grumpy old man with an air of mystery as well as a vast amount of wealth. Lloyd will play just one of the salty codgers poking around the Las Esperanzado Senior Community i... |
Guess Who Died has a little bit of television royalty working behind the scenes, as THR reported Norman Lear co-wrote the pilot alongside Peter Tolan. Lear is responsible for television classics like All In The Family, Good Times, Sanford And Son, The Jeffersons and the original version of One Day At A Time. Now at the... |
The possibility of Christopher Lloyd coming back to network television in a more frequent capacity is an exciting one, as this project could be the first major series-regular role Christopher Lloyd has had since 2005. Back then, Lloyd was a cast member on the failed Pamela Anderson led Fox series Stacked, which is real... |
Guess Who Died is still in pilot status at NBC, so no release date or series order has been announced at this time. For a list of some television shows that are guaranteed to premiere in the near future, head on over to our midseason premiere guide. |
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP) released weaker-than-expected fiscal second-quarter 2017 results Thursday after the market closed. Combined with a cautious outlook given what management describes as weak macroeconomic conditions in North America, its evident that investors aren't pleased, with shares down more than 13... |
But before we get there, let's take a closer look at how CalAmp capped the first half of its fiscal year. |
On an adjusted basis -- which excludes items such as stock-based compensation and acquisition expenses -- net income grew 2.5% year over year, to $10.1 million and remained flat on a per-share basis, at $0.27. |
Quarterly adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew 8.9% year over year, to $12.9 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin fell from 16.9% to 14.2% over the same period. |
By comparison, CalAmp's guidance called forrevenue of $90 million to $95 million, adjusted EBITDA of $12 million to $16 million, andadjusted net income per share of $0.25 to $0.31. |
35.6% year-over-year growth in wireless datacom segment sales, to $83.8 million, including $31.9 million from sales of products from recently acquired vehicle-recovery specialist LoJack. |
A 16.5% decline in satellite segment revenue, to $6.7 million. |
Two quarters ago, CalAmpsaid it would discontinue its satellite operations after key satellite customerEchoStar(NASDAQ: SATS) opted to discontinue purchases from CalAmpat the end of its current product-demand forecast in August, as part of a supplier consolidation. As such, the satellite segment ceased operations as ex... |
Quarterly cash from operations was $11 million. |
As of Aug. 31, cash and equivalents were $117 million, and total debt was $143 million, which is the carrying amount of CalAmp's 1.625% convertible notes in the face amount of $172.5 million. |
CalAmp repurchased roughly 580,000 shares of common stock for $8.5 million during the quarter, leaving $16.5 million remaining under CalAmp's repurchase authorization. |
For the current quarter, CalAmp anticipates revenue of $81 million to $87 million, up from $74.7 million in the same year-ago period. Similar to last quarter's guidance, CalAmp management stated that it remains "cautious in the very near term" given unfavorable macro-conditions in North America, which has once aga... |
"Though CalAmp has experienced weakness through the first half of this year," CalAmp's press release added, "the company is seeing some firming of demand and is optimistic that the company will see MRM product revenues begin to improve later this fiscal year and into 2018." |
In the meantime, CalAmp expects current-quarter revenue to translate to adjusted EBITDA of $11 million to $14 million, andadjusted net income per share of $0.24 to $0.30. |
Of course, that's little consolation for our impatient market. Though we don't typically pay close attention to Wall Street's short-term demands, keep in mind that analysts' consensus estimates predicted that CalAmp would achieve fiscal third-quarter revenue of $95 million and earnings of $0.31 per ... |
So in the end, while it appears CalAmp's long-term growth story remains firmly intact, it's no surprise to see shares trading lower right now. |
The Olaroz-Cauchari basin remains the global center for lithium production and exploration activity. |
Exploration capital continues to be spent to further define the basin; a major Asian automotive company makes a sizable investment to increase output. |
A major Asian battery and material manufacturer is backing the construction of another facility in the region. |
Insight into the regions developments and the companies behind the projects. |
A growing list of automakers committing to release electric and hybrid plug-in vehicles has spurred activity throughout the lithium supply chain. The vast majority of the economic activity and investment has taken place in the battery and lithium chemical components of the industry. The increase in existing and project... |
In the past decade, there has been a series of economic activities between Asian companies and lithium exploration and production companies. These strategic moves have allowed battery and vehicle companies to alleviate the possibility of future lithium supply constraints that could have devastating consequences in a we... |
When I am speaking about the Olaroz-Cauchari Basin, as I often am, I simply refer to the region as the ‘Times Square’ of the lithium industry, because the Olaroz-Cauchari Basin is at the center of the action. With few other regions in the world housing such a large proven reserve of lithium, and with firm capital behin... |
Presently, there are three active companies in the Olaroz-Cauchari Basin. These are Orocobre, Lithium Americas, and Advantage Lithium. Lithium brine extracted from the Basin has an excellent chemistry composition that has been proven to meet the technical requirements for lithium battery products. The large resource lo... |
Orocobre is known as the only lithium exploration company to bring a Greenfield lithium brine project to market in over 20 years. The capital cost of the company’s flagship project was in excess of $230 million. The initial nameplate capacity of the chemical plant was 17,500 T of lithium carbonate. In 2012, Toyota Tsus... |
During FY2017, the companies’ first full year of production, total output amounted to approximately 11,500 T LCE, around 6,000 T less than nameplate capacity. With the Olaroz facility now moving quickly towards nameplate capacity, Orocobre and Toyota Tsusho have increased their investment in the Olaroz Basin through an... |
Further, I expect the joint venture between Orocobre and Toyota Tsusho to announce details concerning the financial decision for a 10,000 T/year lithium hydroxide plant located in Japan. Based on these several developments, the annual product mix of lithium carbonate would be 17,500 T battery grade from its existing op... |
In Q1 2017, Advantage Lithium and Orocobre reached a strategic agreement to ensure that additional exploration capital would be injected into the Cauchari Basin. Orocobre agreed to sell a non-core lithium brine land package to Advantage in exchange for over 46 million shares in the latter company, placing Orocobre as t... |
Early in 2017, Lithium Americas, a lithium exploration company focused on its flagship lithium project located at the Cauchari lithium salar, was able to make significant headway towards production. After years of stalled activity due to an unfavorable Argentina political landscape, the company was finally successful i... |
Through a private placement, Ganfeng agreed to acquire 75 million common shares at $.85/share for total gross proceeds of $64 million. This represents a 19.9% of the company’s issued and outstanding share structure. Through a project debt facility Ganfeng provided a total of $125 million which is being used to fund Lit... |
SQM, as a top global lithium producer operating in Chile, jumped into the Argentina market in 2016 through the acquisition of 50% of the Lithium Americas project. SQM purchased the stake in Minera Exar SA, the local operating business of Lithium Americas, for a net cash consideration of $25 million. Since the transacti... |
Collectively, the region has successfully drawn well over $1 billion in investments from the world's largest lithium producer and multiple strong and important end users, including one of the largest battery material producers and the largest global automotive manufacturer. The recent sell-off of lithium production and... |

The new Rs300 tax imposed in the Budget on every tonne of iron ore exported out of India is a gift to India’s steel lobby. |
Who are the losers? The Wall Street Journal said on Wednesday that the effect of this tax is being felt in China, the biggest market for Indian iron ore. Spot prices of steel are expected to climb, as higher ore prices force China’s most inefficient steel plants to turn off their furnaces. This will please those who be... |
But is it as simple as this? Higher global steel prices will either lower margins for companies that use steel or feed into inflation, if steel users can pass on higher input costs to consumers. So, the export tax will hit shareholders of companies using steel as well as consumers, including Indians. |
This is mercantilist rent-seeking, pure and simple. |
A new venture firm focused on early-stage technology companies in New York has debuted, according to reports by Fortune and Dow Jones VentureWire. |
Because of regulatory rules, Brian Hirsch, managing director of New York’s GSA Venture Partners, could not discuss the birth of Tribeca Venture Partners when contacted by Xconomy, but Tribeca’s website offers a glimpse at its DNA. Tribeca shares the same physical address as GSA Venture Partners. Much like GSA Venture P... |
Tribeca’s site says it will dole out first round investments that range from $100,000 to $4 million to early-stage companies. So far Tribeca lists New York’s Altruik, which provides search engine optimization services, and AppNexus, a platform for buying online advertising, in its portfolio. Altruik is also listed in G... |
Though he cannot talk about it yet, Hirsch is not alone at Tribeca Venture Partners. Chip Meakem, managing director with Kodiak Venture Partners, is listed as Tribeca’s managing partner. Somak Chattopadhyay, principal with GSA Venture Partners, is listed as a partner with Tribeca. |
RIM (RIMM) introduced its new BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Initial reaction has been good, although you should take it with a grain of salt, as not even top reviewers have had their hands on it. But even with actual shipping units months away, the design and market positioning make substantial statements about the compa... |
By calling the product "professional grade," RIM essentially positioned competitors -- not just the Apple (AAPL) iPad, but already announced tablets based on Google (GOOG) Android -- as lesser "consumer" products not up to business needs. |
Weighing less than a pound, it appeals to people who complained that the iPad is too heavy for extended use and further targets businesspeople who get tired of lugging equipment. This essentially says that the PlayBook is meant for use on the road, not something to sit around the house with. |
Dual-core processor chips and "true symmetric multitasking" also communicate that the device provides an emotional snob-appeal and even a hit of pandering to self-pity -- a classic combination you find in world-weary executives, for whom complaining about the weight of the world actually becomes a form of competitive o... |
The note about "uncompromised Web browsing" really sticks it to Apple and its noted dislike of Adobe (ADBE) Flash. In short, if you work at a corporation, you may need to get to any part of the Web, and any product (like an iPad) that doesn't make this possible compromises you, your work, and your career. |
It integrates with a BlackBerry, which can provide tethering and share content. Suddenly, there is no limitation on which wireless service you use, and it reinforces use of the company's own smartphone line. The PlayBook can become a big screen companion that makes the BlackBerry more convenient to use. |
The specific focus on multimedia not only directly spells out being able to show presentations on large screens, but indirectly suggests that people can use video calling with their loved ones when traveling. |
IT departments can impose policy controls and connections are secure, with RIM's experience in handling corporate information needs. |
Because the company used QNX as the basis, it provides a development platform, whether a company wants to use HTML 5, native C, Java, or even Adobe AIR. Development tools exist -- not just for third-party developers, but also in-house corporate work -- and there's no need to go through the platform's vendor, as is true... |
By adding graphics support used for gaming, RIM also acknowledged that its customers use a device for more than work and so cut away a possible reason to defect to Apple. |
Even though it uses a new operating system, the use of the BlackBerry brand, combined with how the unit operates, reinforces that users won't lose anything and won't find their current smartphones obsolete. |
RIM used its years of experience with corporate customers and deep understanding of their needs to do something that few companies accomplish: create a worth competitor to Apple product development and marketing on a first version, at least in RIM's market focus. |

TORONTO -- Vinnie Hinostroza scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period for the Arizona Coyotes in a 4-2 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Sunday. |
Hinostroza gave the Coyotes a 3-2 lead at 6:44 when he gathered a rebound at the side of the net and shot off Maple Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen's back. |
"All-around great play," Hinostroza said. "We played simple, got the puck out, [Richard] Panik made a great play to [Derek] Stepan. I think we had a few chances before I got the rebound and threw it off the back of the goalie, so it was nice to contribute." |
