WORLDS FIRST OCEAN CLEANING SYSTEM
by The Ocean Cleanup Team
Is the longest floating structure in world history
Boyan Slat, 20-year old founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup
said:
“......Taking care of the world’s ocean garbage problem
is one of the largest environmental challenges mankind faces today.
Not only will this first cleanup array contribute to cleaner waters and coasts
but it simultaneously is an essential step towards our goal of cleaning up the GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH
This deployment will enable us to study the system’s efficiency and durability over time"
Boyan Slat announced at Asia’s largest technology conference
the Seoul Digital Forum, in South-Korea.
that
the world’s first system to passively clean up plastic pollution from the world’s oceans
is to be deployed in 2016
.
The feasibility of deployment, off the coast of Tsushima,
an island located in the waters between Japan and South-Korea is currently being researched http://www.theoceancleanup.com/blog...n-cleaning-system-to-be-deployed-in-2016.html

In June 2014, the Kluge Center of the Library of (US) Congress held a seminar focusing on Astrobiology with panel member, Steven Dick (1949) an American astronomer, author, and historian of science most noted for his work in the field of Astrobiology:
The Biological Universe: The Twentieth Century Extraterrestrial Life Debate and the Limits of Science (Cambridge University Press, 1996);
The Living Universe: NASA and the Development of Astrobiology (2005).
From his work in Astrobiology, Dick is known for advancing the ideas of Cosmotheology and the ‘post-biological universe’. Cosmotheology holds that theology should be based on what we know about the universe, namely that we are not in a central physical position, and possibly not in a central position biologically….
The idea of a ‘post-biological universe’ emerges from taking seriously cultural evolution as an integral part of cosmic evolution, and application of the ‘Intelligence Principle’. Assuming the “strong artificial intelligence” is possible, then most intelligent life existing beyond the Earth will have evolved to post-biological machine intelligence.

It's good to see progress! However, cleaning the ocean is not so simple. The average ocean depth is 3,7 km (2,3 miles) and...
THERE’S EVEN MORE PLASTIC ON THE OCEAN FLOOR THAN ON ITS SURFACE

No one assumes cleaning the ocean is simple
although perhaps it is
When cleaning an ocean one needs to commence somewhere
The surface is the obvious place
and furthermore
less plastic floating on the surface
means less plastic sinking to the ocean floor
Of course, I agree.

Answering the call: Robots to staff Japanese cell phone store
A Japanese company has so much faith in their humanoid robots that they are going to unleash them on the customers at one of their cell phone stores as sales assistants.
“I think this year will be the beginning of the smartrobot era for corporate (customers),” the CEO said, referring to devices that are connected to the Internet and can use cloud-based artificial intelligence.

That's dependent on location
for example
not advisable when in unlighted haystorage facility
for such an eventuality the following is ideal:
Simon Morris has created everything from sneakers to speakers that hover, using magnets.
Ultimate dream to create a floating light source without using batteries
is now, with FLYTE, a reality http://www.fastcodesign.com/3045318/finally-a-real-floating-lightbulb
Lightbulb illuminates automatically when placed above wood base,
can also be turned on and off by touching base
which is connected to wall by cord, providing energy for the light.
base also charged devices like phones.
Flyte is powered by long-lasting LEDs,
so bulb will never have to be changed
Morris estimates the bulb would last about 50,000 hours
or 12 hours a day for 11 years.

Google’s DeepMind AI beats humans at the massively complex game Go
A new program called Alpha Go has been developed that can beat a professional human player at the game of Go, something no computer has managed to do before.
We’re all familiar with chess-playing computers — Deep Blue famously beat Garry Kasparov 20 years ago. Go, which was created more than 2,500 years ago in China, is considered a more significant challenge for AI because the overwhelming complexity makes it an “intuitive” game.
The number of board configurations is huge — more than the number of atoms in the universe, making it impossible for a computer to simply brute force the search space.

Muammer Yildiz Magnet Motor
Breakthrough or Hoax?
A magnetic motor (or magnet motor) is a device which converts power of or relating to or caused by magnetism (e.g., "magnetic forces") into mechanical force and motion, with no other input. It usually provides rotary mechanical motion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHW6b1aFPfU
http://peswiki.com/index.php/Article:_35+_Reasons_Why_I_Think_Yildiz'_Magnet_Motor_Really_Works
However, there are different opinions:
The most common hoax is a permanent magnet motor that seem to run without batteries, or in same cases have a low voltage feedback system to a battery. Such devices do not have any wireless energy input (not TEM wave nor longitudinal electroscalar wave), and since the magnetic field is a conservative field, it is out of the question that such motors can run without batteries. A few examples, Howard Johnson's magnetic motor (hoax), the Perendev motor (hoax), the Muammer Yildiz motor (hoax), the Lutec motor (hoax) etc ... If the principle of 'free-energy' was a simple as a magnetic field, then why isn't each AC or DC motor a free energy generator?

The British team working on hot fusion is expecting to begin commercial energy production by 2033.

“Fusion is one of those technologies which, if it could be harnessed, could be scaled up rapidly to be deployed world-wide by 2050 and could make a very big difference to carbon emissions and therefore to climate change from 2050 onwards.”
We really don't have that much time. Either we come to senses and start fixing things right now or we're gone as a human race in a decade or two.

JupiterASC, I just saw this last night, what a coincidence. I was interested in the guy who started it. He was born during the Capricorn Neptune/Uranus conjunction.
When asked what he'd say to other young people, he said (paraphrased): "The right thing to do is to solve a problem that means something. There are so many intelligent young people out there investing in projects that don't matter." (I take this to mean stuff like video games)

Yes, and what's stopping us? PROFIT and POWER HUNGER
People must understand this simple equation:
PROFIT and POWER HUNGER = DEATH of civilization, not in the long run but in 10-20 years from now
CHANGE = LIFE

Not for the optimistic (unless you're an alien life-form intending to change the Earth to be more like your home planet). I don't really subscribe to the Extraterrestrial conspiracy theories, but the way the Elites are behaving certainly lends them some credibility. "They Live" was a humorously entertaining version.
