Coward thug leaves elderly couple confined to wheelchairs
The recent images of the tragedies associated with the migrant crises which show thousands of refugees fleeing Africa and Europe away from danger and poverty and to Europe in search of a better life is still vivid for those who care. It is universally known as the largest migration crisis to hit Europe since last century’s Second World War. That war was fought over land and racial supremacy, which led to millions of Jews being brutally murdered by Germany’s Nazis. Fortunately, most of today’s Germans have tentatively opened their arms to this wave of migrants. Among those Europeans who sympathize…
Read MoreAT&T DirecTV to your phone
The go-ahead has been given to AT&T to become USA’s largest pay-tv provider. With their stock price not seeing much movement in recent days, it seems to be an awful lot of money to be paying for the latest offering, which will please customers driven to spend more real time on their mobile devices than ever before. The telecom giant is blending their current DirecTV service into an all-wireless bundle, which will be available on mobile phones worldwide. The projected expenditure on this marketing and service initiative is tagged at a hefty 49 billion US dollars. While it is a…
Read MoreScientists develops new slow-melting ice cream
Many grown-up folks have fond memories (or not) of hot, sweltering summer days. Such hot days are usually the best time to grab a cool, soothing and tasty soft-serve ice-cream. But because it was so hot, the ice cream tended to melt too quickly and folks and their little ones had to slurp on the cone quickly to enjoy a few more divine licks before the whole ice-cream melted away to nothing. Perhaps the folks in Great Britain have endured one unusually hot summer too many. Scientists over there are developing a slow-melting ice cream. Greedy lickers may be asking…
Read MoreSamsung mobilizes
While China bites the bullet and tries to reignite its insatiable growth rate, which by far still surpasses the rest of the world’s, including that of the USA and South Korea, thanks to how the nation’s own industriousness and innovative dominance from some of its companies, continues to rumble gently in spite of challenging trading circumstances. Even China’s nemesis across the South China Sea, war-weary and nuclear-fatigued Japan, has begun to show signs of moderate growth. South Korean companies, however, continue to be challenged by increased competitiveness across the globe. Samsung remains one of the democratic half of the sub-continent’s…
Read MoreNew Horizons and beyond
The journey to the infinite reaches of deep space could very well begin with NASA’s New Horizons. After passing the dwarf planet (which took nine years to reach), New Horizon’s journey has just begun. It has a new destination in mind. It is one billion miles beyond Pluto, which lies in the Kuiper Belt, an area beyond the small planet’s own orbit of the Sun, the largest sphere in the planetary system. Over one hundred thousand mini-worlds could be discovered through New Horizon’s journey into deep space. But the journey must still be approved by powers beyond its control. Even…
Read MoreThis robot book may scare some people
It’s not an original story. Many similar accounts have been recorded over the years. Most readers never took these stories seriously or to heart. It was only fans of the science fiction genre that warmed up to the idea. Long before science fiction writers were furiously scribbling their take on a world aided and abetted by robots, the great Isaac Asimov had done it all before. Since Asimov’s first story, the ‘idea’ was still ludicrous and fiction. It was never taken seriously, but such stories enjoyed the status of good entertainment value for money. TV shows and films brought visual…
Read MoreImproving the quality of life for wheelchair folks
The Gilbert Lake State Park falls under the jurisdiction of the American New York State, not to be confused with New York City, one of the world’s largest cities and purportedly a city that never sleeps. Green Lakes and Delta Lake State Parks are also within this important state’s domain. Recently the state’s New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation initiated a grant called Quality of Life. It may not seem much at this stage, but this state department has made available just over ten thousand dollars to purchase just three wheelchairs. Wheelchair users already know that…
Read MoreHurricane tracking
Soon it will be possible to accurately forecast the arrival of hurricanes and cyclones and prepare for them long before they happen. Preventing these natural events that are occurring on a more regular basis due to global warming and climate change triggered by mankind’s extreme behaviour is not possible. However, at least man’s ingenuity allows him to protect himself from these unavoidable disasters. Engineers at NASA have begun working on the first of eight mini-satellites which forms part of their world-wide weather tracking initiatives and research projects. The NASA engineers are being guided by researchers at the University of Michigan….
Read MoreWheelchair fitness tracking
Up until recently, Chaotic Moon has been rolling out ideas, new innovations and inventions which are going to make life a lot easier for wheelchair users. Their initiatives and tech savvy are the essence of smart apps. Their work speaks truth to the term smart app. Some of these inventions are designed to help wheelchair users become more mobile and also help them to improve their fitness from the comfort of their chairs. For advantaged folks who have the full use of both arms and legs without aid, they have had the use of Fitbit to monitor their exercise activities….
Read MoreRobot-bashing for fun
It is a far cry from staging mock-world cup soccer tournaments for miniature robots. Gridiron, American-rules football is a complex sport. Tactical acumen on and off the pitch requires the equivalent of mathematical genius to win the Super Bowl, the highest prize of them all, at least in the American sports arena, or if you are a gridiron fan or player. These robots are on the training ground, but are having a hard time. They are being bashed by humans. They are quite literally crash-test dummies. These football robots are indicative of the motivations of manufacturers to mass-produce artificially intelligent…
