Scientists build a laser using human blood

By Jon Fingas From engadget

It could help study cell activity or improve the effectiveness of cancer surgery.

No, this isn’t one of your childhood sci-fi dreams brought to life — it’s real. University of Michigan researchers have developed a medical observation laser where human blood is a key ingredient. When the team shined a laser into a small cavity full of dye-infused blood, they discovered that they could process the laser’s light according to their needs. They could amplify the light to exaggerate small changes in cell activity, or filter it to reduce background noise. Existing techniques combine dyes with infrared or visible light in a way that makes it difficult to spot tiny differences.

This isn’t the first time biological lasers have come to fruition. Harvard used proteins and kidney tissue for a laser back in 2011, and Michigan itself has worked with chlorophyll and gelatin. However, this latest breakthrough could be particularly helpful for doctors. It’d do a better job of tracking changes in cells or bodily tissues, for one. Surgeons could also use it to spot the very edge of a tumor, helping them remove every last bit of cancer. All told, the blood laser is far from creepy — that unusual material choice could save lives.

SpaceX asked to pay $50 million after losing a satellite

By Jon Fingas From engadget

Spacecom wants compensation following SpaceX’s launchpad explosion.

SpaceX may have to deal with more than equipment losses and Mark Zuckerberg’s disappointment in the wake of its launchpad explosion. Spacecom, which owned the AMOS-6 satellite destroyed in the incident (and part of Facebook’s free internet plans), is asking SpaceX for either $50 million or a free flight as compensation. The loss will have a large impact on Spacecom’s bottom line, as you might imagine. The Israeli firm is estimating that it’ll lose between $30 million to $123 million in equity.

The team at SpaceX has yet to comment on Spacecom’s request. We’ve reached out to see if it has a response. However, it won’t take a grievous blow if it agrees to Spacecom’s terms. As SpaceX explained when beginning its investigation of the explosion, there are about 70 missions on its manifest with a total value of $10 billion. The rocket and launchpad costs would be greater. Instead, the greater loss could be symbolic. Customers may well be worried that their payloads might face a similar fate, and they’ll want reassurances that this was just a freak occurrence.

Fox to pay Gretchen Carlson $20M to settle sexual harassment suit

By Matthew Bultman

Law360, New York (September 6, 2016, 10:45 AM ET) — Mass media corporation 21st Century Fox said Tuesday it has settled a sexual harassment lawsuit that former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson brought against Roger Ailes, a bombshell case that led to Ailes’ ouster as chairman of the news network.

Wind power eases grid load

windmill-1319537_1920-820x400From The Carbon Wars

Wind energy is an increasingly important, reliable and affordable part of America’s electricity mix, helping reduce climate change events and our nation’s reliance on carbon based fuels.
During 2014’s Polar Vortex weather event, demand skyrocketed as buildings ran their furnaces at full output during the extreme cold. Supply was also reduced, as the frigid temperatures unexpectedly knocked many conventional power plants offline, in some cases due to fuel supply constraints. However, wind turbines kept turning, helping keep the lights on and energy prices in check. As a result, wind saved consumers across the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic regions over $1 billion in just two days.

Individual wind plants typically generate electricity over 90 percent of the time, a number that is increasing due to technological advances allowing wind turbines to reach stronger, steadier winds. This number increases even further when grid operators aggregate the output of all wind plants, and all sources of supply and demand, over large regions. Decreases in output at one wind plant are typically canceled out by increases at another plant. Moreover, any variability in the aggregate output of all wind plants is often canceled out by larger fluctuations in electricity demand and output deviations at conventional power plants.

Wind power’s greatest contribution to a reliable, diverse electricity mix is its ability to produce energy with no fuel cost or fuel price risk. Wind makes the power system more resilient and reduces fuel costs and risks for American families and businesses by making our energy portfolio more diverse, all while creating cleaner air.

English Club TV arrives in Latina America and the Caribbean

By Anabelia Horbuz From nextv Latin America

The channel English Club TV has launched in Latin America and the Caribbean on September 1. It is available for viewers in the region from the Hispasat 30W-5 (Hispasat 1E) satellite and will be distributed via pay TV providers.

The channel for English language learning offers a content library with more than 150 hours of content. It is broadcast in more than 76 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Middle East. In Latin America, the distribution of the English Club TV channel will be driven by the Media Partners International company.

“It was absolutely essential for us to come to the LATAM market as our company’s mission is to enhance the learning of English language all over the world. In Latin America, English is considered as an important tool, vital for both personal and professional development, as there is a strong correlation between the level of English and income”, said Andrew Semchenko, CEO of the English Club TV Group.

Trump agrees to participate in all three Presidential debates

From Wn.com

With three weeks to go before the all-important first U.S. presidential debate, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Monday he will participate in all three presidential debates – ending questions of whether he would participate in all three debates or the moderators, The Washington Post reported.

“I expect to do all three. I look forward to the debates. I think it is an important element of what we’re doing. I think you have an obligation to do the debates. I did them with the other [primary candidates] – I guess 11 debates. I look forward to the debates.” – GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump
Previously, Trump refused to commit to participating in the debates, objecting first to the debate dates – which overlap with NFL games – and later saying he would not agree until the moderators were announced, the report said.

“I would say that certain moderators would be unacceptable, absolutely,” he told Time magazine last month.

On Monday, Trump said he likes and respects the moderators who have been announced.

Speaking to reporters aboard his jet while campaigning in Ohio, the GOP nominee said that he has not engaged in traditional debate prep but he and his campaign advisers discuss the debates regularly, the report said. Trump said he has not done mock sessions and nobody is playing Hillary Clinton during his debate prep.

Mind-boggling rainbow burger pays tribute to the late Gene Wilder

Screen Shot 2016-09-06 at 2.29.50 PMBY JOHNNY LIEU From Mashable

It’s fair to say there’s been a lot of tributes since the sudden passing of comedian Gene Wilder last week, but this rainbow burger surely takes the psychedelic cake.

The Beauregard Burger is a creation inspired by the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, put together by the imaginative folks at Bar Luca in Sydney, Australia.

Inside the burger there’s a beef patty, tomato soup jelly, fried potatoes, “popping” cheese (we suspect it’s like popping candy), blueberry onion jam, and so-called wonka sauce.

It’s all nestled on a trippy rainbow milk bun that boggles the mind, but hopefully not one’s tastebuds.

The burger costs A$16, and is available at Bar Luca’s three stores in Sydney until the end of next weekend.

What’s more, a golden ticket will appear in one lucky customer’s burger each day where there is some sort of mystery prize. All hail the burger of pure imagination.

Dutch inventor may have found the answer to the sea of garbage

sea-1017596_1920-820x400From The Carbon Wars

Our seas have been found to contain vast patches of plastic-based junk and sludge that have got so out of control, scientists say they may be impossible to clean up. Most of the junk comes from cruise ships, marine activity, and careless recreational users.

The largest single area of sea garbage is known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch which lies in an area between Hawaii and California. It is roughly twice the size of the state of Texas, but there are more. Off the coast of California, an area known as the eastern garbage patch, and the western garbage patch, closer to Japan, together are twice again the size of the Pacific patch.

Hope may be on the way in form of a Dutch inventor, Boyan Slat, 22, founder and CEO of The Ocean Clean Up.

Working since the age of 19 to devise an effective way of using the sea’s currents to get it out and then sell it to plastic recyclers to fund the operation, Slat’s company plans to launch a massive effort beginning in 2020.

Other than Slat’s efforts, far too little is being done to keep the garbage fields from growing. Concerned citizens should be made aware of the dangers to marine and aviary life.

Cayman Islands National Heroes Day tourism nominations needed

NHD-Nomination-Launch-Pic-300x194Leaders from the Ministries of Culture and Tourism officially launched the nomination period for pioneering and long service individuals to be recognise at the National Heroes Day 2017 during a press conference on Wednesday (31 August 2016).

Next year’s annual event, on 23 January 2017, will pay tribute to pioneers in tourism and honour individuals who have made significant contributions to the past and on-going development of tourism in the Cayman Islands.

The nomination period begins today, 1 September 2016 and will run until the end of the month.

Urging individuals to take advantage of this opportunity, Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism, Hon. Moses Kirkconnell said, “over the next 30 days I strongly encourage everyone to get involved with this process, and fill out a nomination form for someone you think is worthy of this recognition.”

Ministerial Councillor for Culture Roy McTaggart, speaking on behalf of the Premier and Minister for Culture Hon. Alden McLaughlin at the press conference, said: “We are proud to recognise those who have given themselves to make the Cayman Islands a better place, not only for those who call this country home, but for the people who come to enjoy our piece of paradise, and arrive and depart feeling and knowing the true meaning of Caymankind.”

During the press conference Councillor McTaggart also announced new details regarding the nomination categories.

“The recipients of the ‘Emerging Pioneer’ category will now receive a commemorative insignia along with their certificates at the ceremony next January,” he explained. “This is a special memento that has previously only been given to the ‘Early Pioneer’ and ‘Pioneer’ categories.”

Chief Officer for the Ministry of Culture Jennifer Ahearn added that the National Heroes Day Committee has decided to increase the quota for all three “Pioneer” categories to 75 honourees total.

The National Heroes Day Committee will accept nomination forms throughout September, and aims to recognise deserving individuals who have made significant contributions to the tourism sector throughout the Cayman Islands. Nominations can be made in five different categories: Early Pioneer, Pioneer, Emerging Pioneer, Memorial Scroll and Long Service Award.

Nomination forms for the 2017 National Heroes Day awards are available at the reception desk of the Government Administration Building and also online at www.ministryofhealth.gov.ky. Completed nomination forms or inquires can be sent to [email protected].

“I look forward to another successful nomination period as we prepare to honour the achievements, traditions and people of the Cayman Islands,” Councillor McTaggart added. “Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of this historic event. Nominate that person who you believe has truly made a difference, so they can get the credit they so rightfully deserve.”

The committee has chosen to define tourism as:

“Tourism is travel for holiday, leisure and recreation, business, health, education, sports and other purposes. Tourism services and products include the business of attracting, accommodating, transporting, entertaining and operating tours for visitors with the support of allied services. Tourism may be international or domestic.”

And Yes! Its election season and what greater way to lighten the mood than coming to see the very funny, Yes Minister!

September 15,16,17,22,23,24,29,30, October 1

Yes Minister is a satirical look at the early career of Jim Hacker MP; a newly appointed cabinet minister in the fictional Department of Administrative Affairs at Whitehall. Hacker goes through various struggles to formulate and enact legislation or effect departmental changes that are continually opposed by the British Civil Service in particular his Permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby. His Principal Private Secretary Bernard Woolley, is usually caught between the two. The British comedy, written by Sir Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, was fist broadcast by BBC Television in the 1980s has now been adapted to the Cayman stage by Chuck and Barrie Quappe. As the Cayman Parliamentary system is based on Whitehall, any of the situations will be undeniably familiar to all that live in Cayman!
