AH, now this brings it together more. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
"whatever Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker says about the state's pension problems -- which, incidentally, are far less severe than he claims -- they're not the result of employees contributing too little to their retirement. Rather, Wisconsin's shortfall stems largely from the state getting killed in the stock market during the financial crisis." - Andrew C (✔)

Now a growing body of research suggests there are telltale mathematical signals. If scientists can figure out how to detect them, they may be able to forecast tipping points ahead of time." - Anthony Citrano

They circle their sun-like parent star every 9.8 days at exactly the same orbital distance, one permanently about 60 degrees ahead of the other. In the night sky of one planet, the other world must appear as a constant, blazing light, never fading or brightening.” - Anthony Citrano
