Against the background of rising confidence in the dragmetallam and reduce faith in the dollar States promote legitimization of ingots

(Bloomberg), distrust of the Federal Reserve system, and concern that the United States dollar could lose value, pushing more than a dozen States to recognize gold and silver coins as legal tender.

For Utah, which in the year 2011 as the currency allowed the use of bullion coins, followed by Arizona. Similar bills advance in Kansas, South Carolina and other States.

Professor of political science at the University of Central Oklahoma Lauren Gatč said that these measures can be considered rather symbolic — in Utah for gold products still cannot pay. They reflect the continuing concern about the dollar, increasing the FED'S unconventional measures in recent years to stabilize the economy.

"These laws indicate broad monetary policies, and the fact that Bernanke is doing," said Gatč. "There is concern that the Government, along with the FED'S Bernanke or follow a policy which will lead to the collapse of the dollar. That's what is behind all this. "

In Texas politics at the local level are considering measures to create the Texas repository for storing gold bullion worth nearly a billion dollars in a bank vault in New York City. Gold is owned by Utimco (University of Texas Investment Management Co.), which in the year 2011 has guaranteed shipment 6.643 bullion amid fears that demand would exceed supply.

Utah State law applies only to the United States produced coins, while other States had not quite decided yet so fit, privately minted coins.

A supporter of the Bill, Senator Chester Krandell said, "I think worth looking at what is going on, the weight of money that the FED prints, and in my opinion, anyone should start to worry. Gold and silver are used for a long time, people they know, and we must give them the opportunity to use them. "

To destroy the enemy AIR FORCE drone and boats use the United States military lasers

The following year the American naval forces plan to deploy a system of laser weapons on a ship in the Gulf war to shoot down drones and oncoming speedboats.

Weapons, named simply "Laser weapon system (LAWS), looks like a small telescope, but in fact is a serious weapons capable of tracking moving targets and destroy them using a laser beam, strong enough to burn holes in steel armor.

The video with the United States NAVY conducted tests last summer off the coast of California, shows how a laser beam fired from military cruisers, managed to set fire to the approaching unmanned aircraft and forced it to fall into the ocean.

The laser beam is invisible to the naked eye, as it is in the infrared portion of the spectrum.

Many details of the laser is kept secret, for example – what is its effective range, powerful or how much energy is required to power it. But Navy officials have announced some non-classified details.

According to them, the Navy has spent on developing these weapons, about 40 million dollars over the last six years.

Rear Admiral Thomas Eccles reported that the beam can be turned on instantly, and that "the generation of energy is a virtual store with an infinite number of charges".

Building on previous tests, the Navy is confident that the laser is ready for full deployment aboard the USS Ponce "in the Persian Gulf. The choice fell on this ship, since its mission is to provide a presence in the Gulf to combat Iranian naval threat in the region. By coincidence the same circumstances, Iran uses the mosquito fleet to izmatyvaniâ American vessels in the waters of the Gulf.

Rear Admiral Matthew Klander, head of the Office of Naval Research, said that "these weapons should send a message to some potential enemies, that they should think twice before trying to do harm to the American courts, since LAWS can quickly destroy the enemy boats and UAVs.

And although the laser is mainly used against slow moving drone and boats, at an average speed of 50 knots, the NAVY in the future United States see the potential to destroy the system much faster.

In the United States have reported the disappearance of at least half of the entire population of bees

Scientists and beekeepers are perplexed by the collapse of bee colonies Syndrome (CCD), which is characterized by the sudden disappearance of hive populations work.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture of the United States, CCD symptoms include lack of or limited the presence of adults, however, the presence in hives of honey bees and immature, which implies the sudden abandonment of the Beehive adult bees. Be that as it may, the bees are found nowhere else, they just disappear and die somewhere.

Normally, the uterus does not drop out, and being able to create a new population, she dies.

Syndrome with 1970 's greatly reduces the population of bees, and with them disappear the year 2006 has skyrocketed. Now, going back to their hives to prepare them for spring pollination phase, found that at least half of their vanished bees.

The year 2013 marks the biggest bee populations, which have reported at least a 50 percent loss of all European honey bees in the United States.

Bee population decline was generally 5-10 per cent annually. After 2006, this rate has increased by approximately one third. This year, it is half of the entire population.

Casualty rates in 50 percent are critical, after which, as they say, it will have already bee influence on prices.

Bees are important because they pollinate most of fruits and vegetables. They also produce honey, is widely used as a sweetener when cooking pastries and many other products.

Some beekeepers blamed pesticides, especially a class known as neonikotinoidy. Neonikotinoidy are a form of kblokiruûŝie pesticides in insects, nerves paralyzing them so that they slowly starve to death. Beekeepers believe their bees are exposed to the pesticide and die as a result.

Others believe that the causes can be a more complex combination of natural and human factors.

While the cause remains undetermined, implications and already there are clear. Sharp decline in populations of bees means less pollination of crops. This means less food and rising prices for fruits and vegetables near the end of the year.
