The Kelly Kettle Trekker is really a lighweight, compact biomass-fueled stove. It allows you to boil water while cooking food. The Trekker holds 19 ounces of water, and can bring that to a boil very quickly. This item is a great piece of survival gear for the person who wants light weight while reducing his carbon footprint.

From NASA s Scientific Visualization Studio. A new study using observations from NASA s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope reveals the first clear-cut evidence that the expanding debris of exploded stars produces some of the fastest-moving matter in the universe. This discovery is a major step toward meeting one of Fermi s primary mission goals. Cosmic rays are subatomic particles that move through space at nearly the speed of light. About 90 percent of them are protons, with the remainder consisting of electrons and atomic nuclei. In their journey across the galaxy, the electrically charged particles become deflected by magnetic fields. This scrambles their paths and makes it impossible to trace their origins directly. Through a variety of mechanisms, these speedy particles can lead to the emission of gamma rays, the most powerful form of light and a signal that travels to us directly from its sources. Two supernova remnants, known as IC 443 and W44, are expanding into cold, dense clouds of interstellar gas. This material emits gamma rays when struck by high-speed particles escaping the remnants. Scientists have been unable to ascertain which particle is responsible for this emission because cosmic-ray protons and electrons give rise to gamma rays with similar energies. Now, after analyzing four years of data, Fermi scientists see a gamma-ray feature from both remnants that, like a fingerprint, proves the culprits are protons. When cosmic-ray protons smash into normal protons, they produce a short-lived particle called a neutral pion. The pion quickly decays into a pair of gamma rays. This emission falls within a specific band of energies associated with the rest mass of the neutral pion, and it declines steeply toward lower energies. Detecting this low-end cutoff is clear proof that the gamma rays arise from decaying pions formed by protons accelerated within the supernova remnants.

The Last Taboo - Kenya For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/64951/short-films/the-last-taboo-hd.html In Kenya 6 million people still defecate in the open. This report literally cuts through the crap to take a funny and refreshing look at the serious risks and the bold new tactics being used to eradicate them. "Shit is very dangerous to people s health", as Margaret Kahiga simply puts it. She is part of the new, no-nonsense approach to improving Kenya s sanitation. Faeces contamination kills one child every 20 seconds - more than Aids and malaria combined. But when it comes to poo, there is a shared sense of "fear, disgust and shame" within local Kenyan communities. Chief Charro is forcing his community to confront the health risks through shock tactics - collecting fresh faeces and placing them directly next to fresh bread, then asking people to eat the bread. It may seem crude, but in areas where over 5,000 people share a single toilet, tackling the taboo is literally a matter of life and death. Produced by Kate Iles.

Many people are afraid of the dark and they don t know it because they have never really been in complete darkness. Here is one way to help gradually overcome that fear before it has to be dealt with in a survival situation.

A fascinating insight into the world of the Vatican Watch the Full film on Journeyman. For downloads and more information: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=18457 As Jean-Paul II s right hand man and most influential theological advisor, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became known as God s Rottweiler . Now, the world knows him as Pope Benedict XVI. In this intimate documentary, he provides a first hand glimpse into life at the Vatican. It s a world that no ones knows better than him. Where the Pope is absolute ruler and the official language is still Latin. From the archives of the Inquisition to the catacombs and museums, he guides us around numerous locations inaccessible to the public. Many have never been filmed before. A fascinating insight into the world of the Pope. Ratzinger s religious conservatism provoked criticism and controversy but he says he had a brand to protect. ‘The Vatican administration is not substantially different to, or substantially more mysterious than, any other large political administration’. Ironically, he came to prominence as a moderniser, making Inquisition records available to researchers. ‘We can say today that the justice practised by the Inquisition was not worse but rather better than the worldly justice of the same time’, he comments.

Delhi s Growing Pains (2013): An inside look at Delhi s emergence as a major urban center and the attendant problems that emergence poses For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=64941 Delhi has had a lot of negative press recently, from violent attacks on women to hangings, politics and protests. This report shines a spotlight on a city bursting at the seams and desperate to develop. Delhi s population is expected to swell from 17 to 28 million by the year 2030, creating huge pressure on the city s welfare system. Police officer Vikram Singh is stationed in the poor districts of Old Delhi. According to him, "they have no money. They sleep on the footpath here, and sometimes they expire". The middle classes are seeking a better future in new suburbs away from the city, exaggerating the stark imbalance. "Our growth rate is better than Europe..but those without education are languishing at the bottom of the ladder."

Lover Boys (2013): When Holland legalised prostitution it was supposed to clean up the sex trade. But 13 years on, this report reveals the murky world that lies behind the windows and offers a damning indictment of the system. For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=64927 Behind the shiny windows, filled with young scantily-clad women, of Amsterdam s sex trade lies a murky world. It s one run by the so-called lover boys , who lure young girls into relationships only to groom, beat and brutalise them into selling themselves for sex. As Tom, who s in Amsterdam on a mission to recover his daughter Sonia who was groomed by sex traffickers, points out, legalisation has offered a gateway for criminals: "These people are the underworld: prostitution, drugs, trafficking. All the areas that you would not expect your daughter to be anywhere near." A private eye found her in a red light window in The Hague, selling sex against her will. She had managed to escape the clutches of the lover boys and escaped to a safe house, but confused and threatened, she returned. Cindy, one women at the safe house, explains the fear that keeps them in the men s clutches: "When you are raped in your room every 20 minutes, with a broken arm, then you know for sure what they can do". Tom wants to pull Sonia out of this world, but with her scared to testify against the men there s nothing he can do. Jacques, his private eye warns that any actions he takes himself are risky, "I sure hope for Tom he doesn t end with a bullet in his head in England."
