Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page JULY 2, 2008-------- Will palm screening replace fingerprint ID? The future of automated identification using body parts (biometrics) is in the palm of your hand, at least that's what Fujitsu Computer Products of America wants you to think. Fujitsu recently unveiled palm-scanning technology for the U.S. market that's already in widespread use in Asia. Hiroko Naito, Fujitsu's business development manager, said the firm's PalmSecure technology uses near-infrared scanning to identify people by the pattern of veins in their palms, which are as distinctive as fingerprints. "It's a contactless device — you just hold your hand over the sensor, so it's hygienic and easy to use," Naito said. "We have heard so many times from customers that the reason they were hesitant about biometrics is that it could be intrusive." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page JUNE 30, 2008-------- SCIENTISTS FIND FIRST PHYSICAL EVIDENCE MARS COULD SUPPORT LIFE Scientists with the US space agency NASA appear to have finally found what they were seeking when they sent Phoenix millions of kilometers to the Red planet. When the lander analyzed soil it had scooped up two weeks ago, water vapor was released when the lander heated the dirt to over 538 degrees centigrade. Sam Kovanis is lead chemist with the Phoenix Mars project at the University of Arizona. ‘This is the first wet chemical analysis on the Martian soil and any other planet besides Earth, and we were all flabbergasted with the data we got back,’ said Sam Kovanis. To the surprise of scientists, the soil was not too acidic to sustain life. In fact, Kovanis says it appears to contain enough minerals that make Earth bound plants flourish. ‘We basically have found what appears to be the requirements, the nutrients, to support life, whether past, present or future, the sort of soil you have there, the type of soil you'd probably have in your backyard, alkaline, you might be able to grow asparagus in it really well, strawberries not very well,’ he said. ‘And again, this is one more piece of evidence showing that the soil's out there by some sort of liquid water action in the history of Mars The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page JUNE 13, 2008-------- Flying saucers could soon be spying on you Flying saucers may soon be more fact than mere science fiction. University of Florida mechanical and aerospace engineering associate professor Subrata Roy has submitted a patent application for a circular, spinning aircraft design reminiscent of the spaceships seen in countless Hollywood films. Roy, however, calls his design a "wingless electromagnetic air vehicle," or WEAV. The proposed prototype is small – the aircraft will measure less than 6 inches across, and will be efficient enough to be powered by on-board batteries. The most obvious functions would be surveillance and navigation. The aircraft could be designed to carry a camera and light and be controlled remotely at great distances, he said. The U.S. Air Force and NASA have expressed interest in the aircraft, and the university is seeking to license the design, he said. "This is a very novel concept, and if it's successful, it will be revolutionary," Roy said.
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 21, 2008-------- Monster carnivorous mice overrun British Island A British owned island in the South Atlantic has been overrun by hundreds of thousands of monster mice which have evolved into carnivores.
The mice of Gough Island have grown to two or even three times the size of an ordinary house mouse. They have developed from eating insects and seeds and are now devouring young birds, including albatross chicks, in huge numbers. Birds on the island had been used to having no predators and are unable to fend off the mice which attack in groups at night. Gough Island is regarded as one of the most important seabird colonies in the world. It is thought to have around 700,000 mice all descended from a few that escaped from on a whaling boat.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 21, 2008-------- Robotic suit could usher in super soldier era Rex Jameson bikes and swims regularly, and plays tennis and skis when time allows. But the 5-foot-11, 180-pound software engineer is lucky if he presses 200 pounds—that is, until he steps into an "exoskeleton" of aluminum and electronics that multiplies his strength and endurance as many as 20 times. With the outfit's claw-like metal hand extensions, he gripped a weight set's bar at a recent demonstration and knocked off hundreds of repetitions. Once, he did 500. "Everyone gets bored much more quickly than I get tired," Jameson said. Jameson—who works for robotics firm Sarcos Inc. in Salt Lake City, which is under contract with the U.S. Army—is helping assess the 150-pound suit's viability for the soldiers of tomorrow. The suit works by sensing every movement the wearer makes and almost instantly amplifying it. The Army believes soldiers may someday wear the suits in combat, but it's focusing for now on applications such as loading cargo or repairing heavy equipment. Sarcos is developing the technology under a two-year contract worth up to $10 million, and the Army plans initial field tests next year. The technology already offers evidence that robotics can amplify human muscle power in reality—not just in the realm of comic books and movies like the recently debuted "Iron Man," about a wealthy weapons designer who builds a high-tech suit to battle bad guys. "Everybody likes the idea of being a superhero, and this is all about expanding the capabilities of a human," said Stephen Jacobsen, chief designer of the Sarcos suit. "We see the value being realized when these suits can be built in great numbers for both military and commercial uses, and they start coming down in cost to within the range of the price of a small car," said Jacobsen. He declined to estimate how much the suit might cost in mass production The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 19, 2008-------- Your future doctor may be a robot The 'Robo Doc’ - or Matilda as the machine in more personally called by surgeons carried out its first prostate procedure at Manchester’s Christie Hospital, with greater precision than a human hand. Lower doses of anesthetic are needed for the keyhole surgery under the robot’s steady hand, patients lose less blood and the chances of infection are lower. The robot has four arms which rotate 360 degrees and grip instruments including a camera which are inserted into the body during an operation. There is also a separate control unit - manned by the surgeon - with hand and foot pedals and a three-dimensional screen which can magnify views by up to 10 times. Medics believe such robots are the future of surgery. Surgeons say the robot is very sophisticated. With practice you can achieve the same or better levels or control as if you held the instrument yourself, rather than traditional keyhole surgery which is more like using chopsticks. It is the future of surgery because it radically reduces most of the risks associated with operations, but the technology enables doctors to see inside the body as well as performing an open operation and manipulate the instruments with high precision. The machines will be cost effective because patients recover so much quicker - they can be discharged after one or two days and return to work after just a few weeks.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 13, 2008-------- Real-Life Iron Man: Company looking to mass produce robotic power suits The prospect of slipping into a robotic exoskeleton that could enhance strength, keep the body active while recovering from an injury or even serve as a prosthetic limb has great appeal. Unlike the svelt body armor donned by Iron Man, however, most exoskeletons to date have looked more like clunky spare parts cobbled together. Japan's CYBERDYNE, Inc. is hoping to change that with a sleek, white exoskeleton now in the works that it says can augment the body's own strength or do the work of ailing (or missing) limbs. The company is confident enough in its new technology to have started construction on a new lab expected to mass-produce up to 500 robotic power suits (think Star Wars storm trooper without the helmet) annually, beginning in October, according to Japan's Kyodo News Web site. CYBERDYNE (which film buffs will recognize as the name of the company that built the ill-fated "Skynet" in the Terminator movies) designed the HAL exoskeleton primarily to enhance the wearer's existing physical capabilities 10-fold. CYBERDYNE is not the only company developing exoskeleton technology. The U.S. Army is in the very early stages of testing an aluminum exoskeleton created by Sarcos, to improve soldiers' strength and endurance. The exoskeleton is made of a combination of sensors, actuators and controllers, and can help the wearer lift 200 pounds several hundred times without tiring, the company said Wednesday in a press release. The company also claims the suit is agile enough to play soccer and climb stairs and ramps .............................. Robobug goes to war: Troops to use electronic insects to spot enemy 'by end of the year' It may have seemed like just another improbable scene from a Hollywood sci-fi flick – Tom Cruise battling against an army of robotic spiders intent on hunting him down. But the storyline from Minority Report may not be quite as far fetched as it sounds. British defense giant BAE Systems is creating a series of tiny electronic spiders, insects and snakes that could become the eyes and ears of soldiers on the battlefield, helping to save thousands of lives. Prototypes could be on the front line by the end of the year, scuttling into potential danger areas such as booby-trapped buildings or enemy hideouts to relay images back to troops safely positioned nearby. Soldiers will carry the robots into combat and use a small tracked vehicle to transport them closer to their targets. Then they would swarm into the building and relay images back to the soldiers' hand-held or wrist-mounted computers, warning them of any threats inside. Plans for a creature that can crawl like a spider are said to be well developed, and researchers eventually hope to be able to create creatures that can slither like a snake or fly like a dragonfly. While some of the creatures will be fitted with small cameras, others will be equipped with sensors that will be able to detect the presence of chemical, biological or radioactive weapons. Scientists from the UK and America plan an army of the electronic bugs, and have ambitions to equip every front-line soldier with them The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 5, 2008-------- Israel's military shows off unmanned, armed patrol vehicle Israel's newest "soldier" can see at night, never nods off on sentry duty and can carry 660 pounds without complaining. The Guardium, a remote-controlled, unmanned vehicle commissioned by the Israeli military is among the first such machines to be ready for the battlefield. The four-wheeled vehicle is designed to replace human soldiers in dangerous roles, and sometimes tedious missions, cutting casualties. Like the pilot less drones that have become a mainstay of air forces in Israel, the U.S. and elsewhere, the Guardium is operated from a command room far from the front line. It can carry cameras, night-vision equipment and sensors, as well as weapons like machine guns. Following preprogrammed routes, it can navigate alone on patrol along a barrier fence or make its way through a city - the vehicle knows how to deal with intersections, traffic and road markings. Relying on cameras that scan 360 degrees at all times, the vehicle's sensors send alerts of anything suspicious to the remote operator, who can take control at any time. The Guardium never mentally wanders or falls asleep during mind-numbing guard or patrol missions in dangerous war zones. Robots like this are potentially the future of ground warfare according to John Pike, director of the Virginia-based military think tank Globalsecurity The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 30, 2008-------- HALF MAN, HALF CHIMP - SHOULD WE BEWARE THE APEMAN'S COMING? A leading scientist has warned a new species of ‘humanzee,’ created from breeding apes with humans, could become a reality unless the government acts to stop scientists experimenting. In an interview with The Scotsman, Dr Calum MacKellar, director of research at the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, warned the controversial draft Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill did not prevent human sperm being inseminated into animals. He said if a female chimpanzee was inseminated with human sperm the two species would be closely enough related that a hybrid could be born. He said scientists could possibly try to develop the new species to fill the demand for organ donors. Leading scientists say there is no reason why the two species could not breed, although they question why anyone would want to try such a technique. Other hybrid species already created include crossed tigers and lions and sheep and goats. Dr MacKellar said he feared the consequences if scientists made a concerted effort to cross humans with chimpanzees. He said: ‘Nobody knows what they would get if they tried hard enough. The insemination of animals with human sperm should be prohibited. ‘The Human Fertilization and Embryo Bill prohibits the placement of animal sperm into a woman the reverse is not prohibited. It's not even mentioned. This should not be the case.’ He said if the process was not banned, scientists would be ‘very likely’ to try it, and it would be likely humans and chimps could successfully reproduce. ‘If you put human sperm into a frog it would probably create an embryo, but it probably wouldn't go very far,’ he said. ‘But if you do it with a non-human primate it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it could be born alive.’ Dr MacKellar said the resulting creature could raise ethical dilemmas, such as whether it would be treated as human or animal, and what rights it would have. ‘If it was never able to be self-aware or self-conscious it would probably be considered an animal,’ he said. ‘However, if there was a possibility of humanzees developing a conscience, you have a far more difficult dilemma on your hands.’ He said fascination would be enough of a motive for scientists to try crossing the two species. But he also said there was a small chance of scientists using the method to ‘humanise’ organs for transplant into humans. ‘There's a desperate need for organs. One of the solutions that has been looked at is using animal organs, but because there's a very serious risk of rejection using animal organs in humans they are already trying to humanize these organs The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 25, 2008-------- US army develops robotic suits On the big screen, films like Robocop, Universal Soldier and forthcoming release Iron Man show man-machines with superhuman powers. But in Utah they are turning science fiction into reality. Rex Jameson, a software engineer here at laboratories run by Sarcos, the robotics firm which designed the XOS exoskeleton, steps up and into the suit. The lightweight aluminum exoskeleton, called XOS, senses Rex's every move and instantly moves with him; it is almost like a shadow or a second skin. It is designed for agility that can match a human's, but with strength and endurance that far outweigh our abilities. With the exoskeleton on and fully powered up, Rex can easily pull down weight of more than 90 kilos, more than he weighs. For the army the XOS could mean quicker supply lines, or fewer injuries when soldiers need to lift heavy weights or move objects around repeatedly. Initial models would be used as workhorses, on the logistics side but the designers are already imagining future versions more reminiscent of Hollywood The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 23, 2008-------- SURGEONS GIVE HOPE TO BLIND WITH SUCCESSFUL 'BIONIC EYE' OPERATIONS Surgeons have carried out the first operations in Britain using a pioneering ‘bionic eye’ that could in future help to restore blind people’s sight. Two successful operations to implant the device into the eyes of two blind patients have been conducted at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. The device — the first of its kind — incorporates a video camera and transmitter mounted on a pair of glasses. This is linked to an artificial retina, which transmits moving images along the optic nerve to the brain and enables the patient to discriminate rudimentary images of motion, light and dark. The operations were conducted as part of an international clinical trial of the technology, known as the Argus II retinal implant, which has already proved successful in restoring rudimentary vision to patients who have become blind because of common conditions such as age-related macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa. American researchers are hoping to develop a camera the size of a pea that could be implanted within the eyeball, replacing natural tissue with artificial technology. Surgeons hope that the implant could be available to NHS patients within three to five years. The Argus II uses a video camera to capture images. These are converted into electrical signals, which are transmitted wirelessly to the implant behind the retina. The electrodes in the implant unscramble the signal to create a crude black-and-white picture that is relayed along the optic nerve to the brain. The brain can then perceive patterns of light and dark spots corresponding to the electrodes stimulated. Mark Humayun, Professor of Ophthalmology and Biomedical Engineering at the Doheny Eye Institute in Los Angeles, California, which developed the technology, said: ‘The camera is very, very small, and very low power, so it can go inside your eye and couple your eye movement to where the camera is. With the kind of missing information the brain can fill in, this field is really blossoming. In the next four to five years I hope, and we all hope, that we see technology that’s much more advanced The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

New technology that can "see" through clothing and detect what's underneath can now be used to scan crowds, making it a potentially effective tool to prevent terrorist attacks in public places. The camera can see through people's clothes from up to 25 meters away, detecting objects. The ThruVision T5000 camera picks up Terahertz rays, or T-rays, which are naturally emitted by all objects and can pass through fabric or even walls. The camera can then image metallic and non-metallic objects hidden under clothing on still or moving subjects without revealing any body detail, according to its British manufacturer, ThruVision Limited.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 15, 2008-------- 'NOW WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN MAKE A CLONED CHILD' A new form of cloning has been developed that is easier to carry out than the technique used to create Dolly the sheep, raising fears that it may one day be used on human embryos to produce ‘designer’ babies. Scientists who used the procedure to create baby mice from the skin cells of adult animals have found it to be far more efficient than the Dolly technique, with fewer side effects, which makes it more acceptable for human use. ***WATCHMAN... FEWER??? WHAT KIND??? HOW MANY??? DEFORMITIES???... The mice were made by inserting skin cells of an adult animal into early embryos produced by in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Some of the resulting offspring were partial clones but some were full clones – just like Dolly. Unlike the Dolly technique, however, the procedure is so simple and efficient that it has raised fears that it will be seized on by IVF doctors to help infertile couples who are eager to have their own biological children. ***WATCHMAN... OR HOMOSEX who want PLAT TOYS... One scientist said this weekend that a maverick attempt to perform the technique on humans is now too real to ignore. ‘It's unethical and unsafe, but someone may be doing it today,’ said Robert Lanza, chief scientific officer of American biotechnology company Advanced Cell Technology. ‘Cloning isn't here now, but with this new technique we have the technology that can actually produce a child. If this was applied to humans it would be enormously important and troublesome,’ said Dr Lanza, whose company has pioneered developments in stem cells and cell reprogramming. ‘It raises the same issues as reproductive cloning and although the technology for reproductive cloning in humans doesn't exist, with this breakthrough we now have a working technology whereby anyone, young or old, fertile or infertile, straight or gay can pass on their genes to a child by using just a few skin cells,’ he said. ***WATCHMAN... THERE what did I tell you that is HOMOSEX language if I ever heard it... The technique involves the genetic reprogramming of skin cells so they revert to an embryonic-like state. Last year, when the breakthrough was used on human skin cells for the first time, it was lauded by the Catholic Church and President George Bush as a morally acceptable way of producing embryonic stem cells without having to create or destroy human embryos ***WATCHMAN... It is playing GOD and by my experience as a genetic research scientist it could produce VERY DANGEROUS NEW DISEASE POSSIBILITIES... ROMANS 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient" ***WATCHMAN COMMENT...

GM =s GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS!...thewatchman Nightmare on Elm the Dinner Table. Thank you, Monsanto! Now it appears that the increasingly prevalent nightmare of a disease called "Morgellon's Disease" may be a result of GM crops and food. Morgellon's Disease was first described when a woman's 3 year old son developed rashes and intensely itchy sores which produced weird multicolor fibers emerging from his skin. She put up a website about the condition in 2001 and named it "Morgellons Disease" after a 17th century report of a similar affliction. It is now known that Morgellon's Disease is no longer rare, nor is it mysterious any longer. A study of the fibers shows that they contain DNA from *both* a fungus and a bacterium which are used in the commercial preparation of genetically modified foods and non-food crops (such as cotton). The fibers themselves are primarily cellulose, which the human body cannot breakdown or manufacture. So GM technology apparently has, like Professor Frankenstein, found a way to animate the non living. These fibers twist and twine, grow and divide. In short, living beneath the skin of people, they form parasitic lesions out of what should be non-living material but which, through the horror of genetic modification, has taken on the characteristics of a living thing. The symptoms are so unbearable that a number of people suffering from the disorder have committed suicide rather than deal with the unbearable pain, constant feeling of something very much like an insect crawling without stop beneath the skin and unbearable itching any longer.
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 7, 2008 ------------- SCIENCE FICTION A REALITY Laser plane could destroy tanks from 10 miles The United States Defence Department has developed a prototype of an aircraft armed with a laser gun that could destroy tanks 10 miles away. The weapon is capable of destroying targets up to 15km (10m) away, according to Defense Update online magazine. The ten-centimetre-wide beam will heat targets almost instantly to thousands of degrees and will slice through metal even at maximum range. It is intended both for battlefield use and for missile defense. It is anticipated the beam will be adjustable, allowing the gunner to choose between, for example, targeting a vehicle's fuel tank to destroy it utterly, or slice through a track to bring it to a halt without injuring the driver. The laser will be housed in a rotating turret attached to the underside of the aircraft and will be aimed independently of the plane. Early tests have focused on testing the rotation of the laser housing. So far the laser itself has not been tested in flight, but first trials are expected during 2008. Tests on a laser for destroying vehicles will be carried out on the prototype based on the C-130 "Hercules" transport aircraft The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

A BRITISH company has developed a camera that can detect weapons, drugs or explosives hidden under people's clothes from up to 25m away in what could be a breakthrough for the security industry. The T5000 camera, created by a company called ThruVision, uses what it calls passive imaging technology to identify objects by the natural electromagnetic rays, known as Terahertz or T-rays, that they emit. The high-powered camera can detect hidden objects even when people are moving. It does not reveal physical body details and the screening is harmless, the company said. The technology, which could could be used in crowded airports, shopping malls or sporting events, will be unveiled this week. "Acts of terrorism have shaken the world in recent years and security precautions have been tightened globally," said Clive Beattie, the chief executive of ThruVision. "The ability to see both metallic and non-metallic items on people out to 25m is certainly a key capability that will enhance any comprehensive security system." ThruVision came up with the technology for the T5000 in collaboration with the European Space Agency and from studying research by astronomers into dying stars.

Subcutaneously Implanted Touch-Screen Runs On Blood, Could Replace Cell Phones, Calculators, Credit Cards Jim Mielke's wireless blood-fueled display is a true merging of technology and body art. At the recent Greener Gadgets Design Competition, the engineer demonstrated a subcutaneously implanted touch-screen that operates as a cell phone display, with the potential for 3G video calls that are visible just underneath the skin. The basis of the 2x4-inch "Digital Tattoo Interface" is a Bluetooth device made of thin, flexible silicon and silicone. It´s inserted through a small incision as a tightly rolled tube, and then it unfurls beneath the skin to align between skin and muscle. Through the same incision, two small tubes on the device are attached to an artery and a vein to allow the blood to flow to a coin-sized blood fuel cell that converts glucose and oxygen to electricity. After blood flows in from the artery to the fuel cell, it flows out again through the vein. On both the top and bottom surfaces of the display is a matching matrix of field-producing pixels. The top surface also enables touch-screen control through the skin. Instead of ink, the display uses tiny microscopic spheres, somewhat similar to tattoo ink. A field-sensitive material in the spheres changes their color from clear to black, aligned with the matrix fields. The tattoo display communicates wirelessly to other Bluetooth devices - both in the outside world and within the same body. Although the device is always on (as long as your blood´s flowing), the display can be turned off and on by pushing a small dot on the skin. When the phone rings, for example, an individual turns the display on, and "the tattoo comes to life as a digital video of the caller," Mielke explains. When the call ends, the tattoo disappears. Could such an invasive device have harmful biological effects? Actually, the device could offer health benefits. That´s because it also continually monitors for many blood disorders, alerting the person of a health problem. The tattoo display is still just a concept, with no word on plans for commercialization.

A robotics expert at the University of Sheffield issued stark warnings over the threat posed to humanity by new robot weapons being developed by powers worldwide. In a keynote address to the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), Professor Noel Sharkey, from the University's Department of Computer Science, expressed his concerns that we are beginning to see the first steps towards an international robot arms race. He warned that it may not be long before robots become a standard terrorist weapon to replace the suicide bomber… Over 4,000 robots are currently deployed on the ground in Iraq and by October 2006 unmanned aircraft had flown 400,000 flight hours. Currently there is always a human in the loop to decide on the use of lethal force. However, this is set to change with the US giving priority to autonomous weapons - robots that will decide on where, when and who to kill. Others are now embarking on robot weapons programs in Europe and other allied countries such as Canada, South Korea, South Africa, Singapore and Israel. China, Russia and India are also embarking on the development of unmanned aerial combat vehicle. The US DoD report is unsure about the activity in China but admits that they have strong infrastructure capability for parallel developments in robot weapons. Professor Sharkey, who is famously known for his roles as chief judge on the TV series Robot Wars and as onscreen expert for the BBC´s TechnoGames, said: ‘The trouble is that we can't really put the genie back in the bottle. Once the new weapons are out there, they will be fairly easy to copy. How long is it going to be before the terrorists get in on the act’’ ‘With the current prices of robot construction falling dramatically and the availability of ready-made components for the amateur market, it wouldn't require a lot of skill to make autonomous robot weapons.’… The robotics expert is also concerned with a number of ethical issues that arise from the use of autonomous weapons. He added: ‘Current robots are dumb machines with very limited sensing capability.

Greg Wallraff, a staff scientist at IBM, explained that the researchers are laying single molecules of DNA onto the chip's surface and using them as a template for assembling electronic components, like nanotubes and nanowires. The DNA used by the researchers comes from a virus, he added. "People say DNA is the blueprint for life," said Wallraff. "The specific structure of DNA has unique features. It's basically programmable. You can design DNA into unique shapes, with specific attachment sites. Then we pour this DNA solution onto a silicon substrate, and the DNA assembles itself exactly where we want it to. ***WATCHMAN... CYBORGS A REALITY???...

By 2010, Intelligent Optical Systems hopes to be selling a sort of high-powered flashlight, the “LED Incapacitator,” which would act by not only effectively blinding its target, ...by overloading his or her brain, with rapidly flashing lights at varying colors and frequencies. In addition to disorientation, headache and nausea are also likely. The device, designed with help from the Los Angeles Police Department, could end up in the hands on the Coast Guard, Border Patrol, Secret Service and air marshals.

Humanity is on the brink of advances that will see tiny robots implanted in people's brains to make them more intelligent said engineer Ray Kurzweil. He said machines and humans would eventually merge through devices implanted in the body to boost intelligence and health. ‘It's really part of our civilization,’ Mr. Kurzweil said. ‘But that's not going to be an alien invasion of intelligent machines to displace us.’ Machines were already doing hundreds of things humans used to do, at human levels of intelligence or better, in many different areas, he said. ‘I've made the case that we will have both the hardware and the software to achieve human level artificial intelligence with the broad suppleness of human intelligence including our emotional intelligence by 2029,’ he said. Humans and machines would eventually merge, by means of devices embedded in people's bodies to keep them healthy and improve their intelligence, predicted Mr. Kurzweil. ‘We'll have intelligent nanobots go into our brains through the capillaries and interact directly with our biological neurons,’ he told BBC News. The nanobots, he said, would ‘make us smarter, remember things better and automatically go into full emergent virtual reality environments through the nervous system’ The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

Sci-fi fans will recognize its awesome power and futuristic technology. The big gun uses electro magnetic energy instead of explosive chemical propellants to fire a projectile farther and faster. The railgun, as it is called, will ultimately fire a projectile more than 230 miles (370 kilometers) with a muzzle velocity seven times the speed of sound (Mach 7) and a velocity of Mach 5 at impact. The Navy's current MK 45 five-inch gun, by contrast, has a range of less than 23 miles (37 kilometers). The railgun has been a featured weapon in many science fiction universes, such as the new "Battlestar Galactica" series. The Navy's motivation? Simple destruction. The railgun's high-velocity projectile will destroy targets with sheer kinetic energy rather than with conventional explosives The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page February 4, 2008 ------------- Navy Tests High-Powered Electromagnetic Railgun A futuristic weapon getting a trial run by the Navy demonstrated its destructive power at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren. In the demonstration Thursday, engineers fired the electromagnetic railgun at what they said was a record power level: 10 megajoules. The previous railgun power-use record was about 9 megajoules of muzzle energy. Railguns use electromagnetic energy to launch projectiles long distances — more than 200 nautical miles. Because the railgun uses electricity and not gunpowder to fire projectiles, it eliminates the possibility of explosions on ships. The Navy hopes the railgun will eventually replace the standard 5-inch gun on its ships. The weapon isn't expected to be deployed until at least 2020. A joule is defined as the energy needed to produce one watt of electricity for one second. The railgun tested Thursday actually has a capacity of 32 megajoules, but the Navy is slowly building up the energy level in a series of tests. That's a lot of power, but with a new series of electrically-powered ships coming on line, the Navy figures generating capacity will not be a problem. According to the Navy, the railgun, when fully developed, will be able to launch solid projectiles at Mach 5, or about 3,700 mph.] ......................................... FINNISH PATIENT GETS NEW JAW FROM OWN STEM CELLS Scientists in Finland said they had replaced a 65-year-old patient's upper jaw with a bone transplant cultivated from stem cells isolated from his own fatty tissue and grown inside his abdomen. Researchers said on Friday the breakthrough opened up new ways to treat severe tissue damage and made the prospect of custom-made living spares parts for humans a step closer to reality. ‘There have been a couple of similar-sounding procedures before, but these didn't use the patient's own stem cells that were first cultured and expanded in laboratory and differentiated into bone tissue,’ said Riitta Suuronen of the Regea Institute of Regenerative Medicine, part of the University of Tampere. She told a news conference the patient was recovering more quickly than he would have if he had received a bone graft from his leg. ‘From the outside nobody would be able to tell he has been through such a procedure,’ she said. She added, the team used no materials from animals -- preventing the risk of transmitting viruses than can be hidden in an animal's DNA, and followed European Union guidelines. Stem cells are the body's master cells and they can be found throughout the blood and tissues. Researchers have recently found that fat contains stem cells which can be directed to form a variety of different tissues. Using a patient's own stem cells provides a tailor-made transplant that the body should not reject The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

The superhero power to see through walls will soon be within the grasp of ordinary mortals, thanks to a new hand-held X-ray scanner. Inventors hope the gadget could revolutionize police work and Customs searches by allowing officers to seek out contraband, weapons, bombs or hidden people. The LEXID device sends out low-level X-rays which are collected in a lens based on the design of a lobster's eye. Rick Shie, senior vice-president of its American inventors, Physical Optics Corporation, said that lobsters' eyes, which are able to see in deep, murky water, use thousands of tiny squares to focus by reflection rather than the bending or refraction of light like human eyes. Mr. Shie said: "The LEXID works by emitting a low-level X-ray and then the lobster eye interprets what is returned and the image is produced on a screen. "We are still in the research stage but have conducted successful trials and the government iskeen to test it. "It can detect bombs, contraband or people and will show up anything within a couple of meters." America’s Department of Homeland Security is already understood to be interested in the device for use in its war on terror. While the images produced by the scanner are not crystal-clear, they are sharp enough to reveal a cache of weapons or parts of a bomb. Mr. Shie said: "Down the line we hope that these will be available to anyone and are likely to cost several thousand pounds. "They could be used to find wires within walls and they have a variety of security uses. "It could find drugs or arms hidden in containers, and a robotic version could be used to see whether there are bombs in car boots. "We think we will be able to improve the image by four or five times and although we are still in the research stage we hope it can be trial led by the government in a year."

Archived from News & Views page January 11, 2008 ------ Scientists create machine that knows what you are thinking Scientists have developed a machine which is capable of reading our mind and revealing our most private thoughts. American researchers from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, found that, with the aid of a sophisticated scanner and computer program, they were able to determine how the brain lights up when thinking about different subjects. Using an advanced form of MRI scanner, they analyzed how the brain reacted to ten drawings of tools and buildings. They then used a computer program to work out whether a person was thinking about a tool or a building. The researchers' analysis was found to be 97 per cent accurate but they went on to show that they could distinguish between two similar objects, such as two different tools, almost as successfully. This is the first time the technique has been fine tuned to distinguish between similar objects. The brain scans also showed many different brain regions are involved in processing information even in the case of something as simple as a line drawing of a hammer. Thinking about how a hammer is used activated the areas involved in movement, while thinking about the shape of a hammer and what it is used for lit up other regions. Despite being limited to picking up the thoughts behind just ten pictures, the researchers are confident that they will soon be able to identify entire sentences. One of the team, Dr Svetlana Shinkareva, said: "We hope to progress to identifying the thoughts associated not just with pictures but also with words and eventually sentences." The technique could also have medical applications by, for example, providing valuable insights into conditions such as autism. Study leader Professor Marcel Just said: "People with autism perceive others in a distinctive way that has been difficult to characterize. "This approach offers a way to discover that characterization." The study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, also showed that different people think about the same thing in the same way. "This part of the study establishes, as never before, that there is a commonality in how different people's brains represent the same subject," the study said. "There has always been a philosophical conundrum as to whether one person's perception of the color blue is the same as another person's. "Now we see that there is a great deal of commonality across different people's brain activity corresponding to familiar tools and dwellings." The device's possibilities can, however, be extended and the team envisage a time when it will be used to conduct infallible lie detector tests, while the accurate interpretation of a person's intentions could allow police to arrest criminals before they break the law, as seen in the film Minority Report.

These asteroids can be as large as mountains but are at least 1 kilometer (3,280.8 feet) in diameter. NASA estimates that 900 of these objects are in potentially hazardous range of Earth. But the more immediate threat is from much smaller asteroids, such as the asteroid that has a 1-in-25 chance of hitting Mars on Jan. 30. The asteroid, which has the unglamorous name of 2007 WD5, is only 50 meters (164 feet. Small, yes, but such an asteroid has the explosive force of a 10-megaton nuclear weapon.

Archived from News & Views page January 3, 2008 ------Military Use of Unmanned Aircraft Soars The military's reliance on unmanned aircraft that can watch, hunt and sometimes kill insurgents has soared to more than 500,000 hours in the air, largely in Iraq. And new Defense Department figures show that the Air Force more than doubled its monthly use of drones between January and October, forcing it to take pilots out of the air and shift them to remote flying duty to meet part of the demand. The dramatic increase in the development and use of drones across the armed services reflects what will be an even more aggressive effort over the next 25 years, according to the new report. The jump in Iraq coincided with the build up of U.S. forces this summer as the military swelled its ranks to quell the violence in Baghdad. But Pentagon officials said that even as troops begin to slowly come home this year, the use of Predators, Global Hawks, Shadows and Ravens will not likely slow. "I think right now the demand for the capability that the unmanned system provides is only increasing," said Army Col. Bob Quackenbush, deputy director for Army Aviation. "Even as the surge ends, I suspect the deployment of the unmanned systems will not go down, particularly for larger systems." For some Air Force pilots, that means climbing out of the cockpit and heading to places such as Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, where they can remotely fly the Predators, one of the larger and more sophisticated unmanned aircraft. About 120 Air Force pilots were recently transferred to staff the drones to keep pace with demands, the Air Force said. The increased military operations all across Iraq last summer triggered greater use of the drones and an escalating call for more of the systems - from the Pentagon's key hunter-killer, the Predator, to the surveillance Global Hawks and the smaller, cheaper Ravens. In one recent example of what they can do, a Predator caught sight of three militants firing mortars at U.S. forces in November in Balad, Iraq. The drone fired an air-to-ground missile, killing the three, according to video footage the Air Force released. The Army has a total of 361 unmanned aircraft in Iraq alone - including Shadows, Hunters and Ravens. And in the first 10 months of 2007, they flew more than 300,000 hours.

Archived from News & Views page December 31, 2007 ------Chance of Asteroid Hit on Mars Increases The chance of a football field-sized asteroid plowing into Mars next month has been increased to 4 percent, scientists said Friday after analyzing archival data. Though still a long shot, some researchers are hoping for a cosmic smash. "I think it'll be cool," said Don Yeomans, who heads the Near-Earth Object Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "Usually when an asteroid is headed toward Earth, I'm not rooting for an impact." The space rock, known as the nondescript 2007 WD5, was discovered in late November by the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona. Based on the latest information available, scientists said last week there was a 1-in-75 chance the asteroid could hit Mars on Jan. 30. The odds were increased to 1-in-25 this week after a Ph.D. student pored through the archives and plotted the asteroid's motions before its official discovery. The new information allowed scientists to improve their calculations of the asteroid's orbit and flight path. Scientists will continue to monitor the asteroid to better predict the possibility of a Martian impact. Yeomans said he expects the odds to decrease with new observations gathered early next year.

Archived from News & Views page December 20, 2007 ------Caught on Tape: Death Star Galaxy The latest act of senseless violence caught on tape is cosmic in scope: A black hole in a "death star galaxy" blasting a neighboring galaxy with a deadly jet of radiation and energy. A fleet of space and ground telescopes have captured images of this cosmic violence, which people have never witnessed before, according to a new study released Monday by NASA. "It's like a bully, a black-hole bully punching the nose of a passing galaxy," said astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, who wasn't involved in the research. But ultimately, this could be a deadly punch. The telescope images show the bully galaxy shooting a stream of deadly radiation particles into the lower section of the other galaxy, which is about one-tenth its size. Both are about 8.2 billion trillion miles from here, orbiting around each other. The larger galaxy has a multi-digit name but is called the "death star galaxy" by one of the researchers who discovered the galactic bullying, Daniel Evans of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Tens of millions of stars, including those with orbiting planets, are likely in the path of the deadly jet, said study co-author Martin Hardcastle of the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom. If Earth were in the way - and it's not - the high-energy particles and radiation of the jet would in a matter of months strip away the planet's protective ozone layer and compress the protective magnetosphere, said Evans. That would then allow the sun and the jet itself to bombard the planet with high-energy particles. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
