Paltalk’s public and private Screening Rooms should be a big hit

Paltalk, established in 1998, is a rapidly-growing Internet chat service featuring text, voice and video chatting, open only to Microsoft Windows users at the present time. Screening Rooms allows members—up to 5000 in number—to watch videos (home-made or licensed) together and discuss them using text, voice, or video chat. Groups of fans can now congregate to comment on a particular music video. Video artists will have a venue to show off their creations and gather feedback. Parents and adult children will be able to meet in a private room and view videos of the grandchildren without having to travel long distances. Co-workers at various commercial sites will be able to view training videos and interact with experts at head office. The possibilities are endless.

Dr. Gifford-Jones launches his own web site

Dr. Gifford-Jones, an internationally-syndicated Canadian medical journalist, writes a popular newspaper column on current medical topics. He has just launched his own web site, enabling readers to access many of his previous columns. He writes about everything from the benefits of Vitamin C to instructions for avoiding “wrong-side” surgery. Dr. Gifford-Jones writes with a sense of humor that allows him to present serious topics in a lighter vein.

Is Internet censorship obsolete?

Many people live in countries subject to Internet censorship, and are unable to access information available on blocked sites. The Psiphon project offers a solution to this problem. It requires the cooperation of Psiphon providers in censorship- free countries who facilitate the linking. Psiphon is a service of the CiviSec Project operated by the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies at the University of Toronto. The CiviSec Project is funded by the Open Society Institute.

Web users contact the Psiphon site, and receive passwords and Web links. When the Psiphon search bar appears on their screens, they may begin surfing the Net free of blocking by government agencies. Net censors observe a nondescript IP address and have no idea which site the Psiphon user has accessed. The encrypted message appears to be one of the millions of encrypted financial transactions running through the Internet. Prospective users should visit the FAQ and Forum sections on the site to learn how the system works and how to minimize discovery by censors. Any system is vulnerable to government investigation and users should be aware of the risks involved in bypassing censorship protocols. Government investigators might even set up bogus "anonymous" proxy sites to lure and track censorship law violators. Be sure you know well the person who agrees to set up your Psiphon connection.

The Journal of Hispanic Ufology reports strange, new UFO incidents

This is the official site of The Journal of Hispanic Ufology, (est. 1998), which features information re paranormal and UFO events which have occurred in Mexico, Spain, South America, and the Caribbean. Reports are filed by correspondents in over twelve Spanish-speaking countries.

There is a shocking report made by police officers in Argentina. On November 11, 2007, they encountered a strange craft on the road and four alien figures in the vicinity of Irene in the District of Coronel Dorrego. If you understand Spanish, you will find a more detailed report of the incident at the following link:

Another incident occurred at the Vizcaino power plant, located in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur, on June 8, 2007. A senior engineer took a photo of a UFO over the facility on June 8, 2007, using a Sony DSC-P41 camera.

What amazes me is that reports of sightings in Hispanic countries rarely appear in North American media outlets. The Inexplicata blog attempts to fill this information gap.
