Scientists set to laser-blast orbiting space debris
 |
| Space Laserblast Credit: nbcnews.com |
Washington: Scientists have reportedly come up with a plan that would use lasers to remove orbiting space debris.
The Australian government has announced a 20 million dollars Cooperative Research Centre that will investigate using lasers to locate, track, and remove debris from space.
According to Cnet, researchers believe that at least several hundred thousand pieces of space debris are stuck out in orbit around the planet, creating hazards for satellites and spacecraft.
Matthew Colless, director of the Australian National University Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Mount Stromlo said that everywhere humans have been in space, they leave some trash behind.
Colless said that the project intends to clean up space to avoid the growing risks of collisions and to make sure we don't have the kind of event portrayed in 'Gravity'.

An argument between two men ended in a stabbing with a bladed replica version of the Master Sword from LoZ.
Eugene Thompson, chased by the girlfriend's ex-husband, ran into the bedroom closet and wielded the sword. The husband walked straight into the pointy edge.
"I don't know if he thought it was a toy," Thompson said.
The husband was taken to the hospital in serious condition. Thompson also needed stitches for his head when the husband smashed a pot on his head.

The Ice Volcanoes of Saturn's sattelite, Enceladus

Saturn's Enceladus may not seem like anything special; just another middle child in a family of 62 natural satellites (funny, Saturn doesn't sound like a Catholic name). But zoom in real close and you'll see that its surface is constantly rocked by massive explosions ... of ice. Yes, Enceladus is home to thousands of what scientists are awesomely calling cryovolcanoes.
Due to the proximity and the immense gravitational pull of Enceladus' smothering helicopter parent planet, the moon is constantly being warped and squished, causing its subterranean ice reserves to crack and pulverize into an underground ocean. As forces continue to build up, the subterranean sea, much like a Japanese high school student, eventually succumbs to pressure and erupts. Great plumes of water shoot outward into space, instantly freezing into ice and making an entire moon appear as if it had spontaneously sprouted jet engines.
Enceladus' cryovolcanoes were discovered quite recently by the Cassini space probe, after it managed to capture actual images of the moon's great flailing ice tantrums. According to scientists, this discovery might also explain what keeps replenishing the debris that makes up Saturn's signature rings. If you're having trouble wrapping your mind around it, imagine Saturn as a great big pimp that beats up on its poor trusting charges until they eventually cough up more ice for the planet's tacky, outrageous bling.

Missing woman unwittingly joins search party looking for herself
 |
| Credit: www.torontosun.com |
A group of tourists spent hours Saturday night looking for a missing woman near Iceland's Eldgja canyon, only to find her among the search party.
The group was travelling through Iceland on a tour bus and stopped near the volcanic canyon in the southern highlands Saturday afternoon, reports the Icelandic news organization mbl.is.
One of the women on the bus left to change her clothes and freshen up. When she came back, her busmates didn't recognize her.
Soon, there was word of a missing passenger. The woman didn't recognize the description of herself, and joined in the search.
About 50 people searched the terrain by vehicles and on foot. The coast guard was even readying a helicopter to help.
But the search was called off at about 3 a.m., when it became clear the missing woman was, in fact, accounted for and searching for herself.

PHL to upgrade navy base nearest to Spratlys
 |
| Credit: www.aurorametropolis.wordpress.com |
Navy spokesman Lt. Commander Gregory Fabic said the military will build a P500-million ($11.2 million) port at Ulugan Bay, the Philippine military base nearest to the Spratly Islands.
"It is being programmed for capability upgrade... we need to develop it to house the big vessels of the navy," he told reporters.
President Benigno Aquino is set to visit the base on May 20 to launch the upgrading, Fabic added.
The base on the west coast of Palawan island is the headquarters of naval forces guarding the waters on the west of the archipelago.
In recent years, the Philippines has been locked in an increasingly tense standoff with China involving disputed reefs and islands in the Spratlys and other areas of the South China Sea.
Under a program designed to improve the capability of one of Asia's weakest military forces, the Philippines has been acquiring naval vessels to create what the government described as a "credible deterrent" to protect its territorial integrity.
The navy has acquired two refurbished American coast guard frigates in the past two years, and they now lead patrols in the South China Sea.
The navy wants to acquire up to six more to guard the country's long coastline effectively, armed forces chief of staff General Emmanuel Bautista announced in January.
In 2012 the Gregorio del Pilar, one of the two refurbished frigates, confronted Chinese ships on Scarborough Shoal, a small outcrop just off the coast of the country's main island of Luzon.
The Chinese eventually gained control of the outcrop after Manila backed down. However, the Manila government sought UN arbitration to settle the dispute, a move rejected by China.
Last month the Philippines lodged a protest after the Chinese coast guard allegedly attacked Filipino fishermen off the shoal with water cannon on January 27. Beijing rejected the protest.
China claims nearly all of the South China Sea, including waters near the coasts of its neighbours. — Agence France-Presse

The first HEARTLESS person who is living without a pulse

| Heartless: Craig Lewis, 55, was the first man to have a 'continuous flow' pump to replace his entire heart - and now has no pulse. |
Craig Lewis, 55, was dying from a heart condition that caused build-ups of abnormal proteins, and not even a pacemaker could help save his life.
But two doctors from the Texas Heart Institute proposed a revolutionary new solution – install a 'continuous flow' device that would allow blood to circulate his body without a pulse.
Dr. Billy Cohn and Dr. Bud Frazier installed the device after removing Mr Lewis' heart. Within a day, the patient was up and speaking with physicians.

The Secrets of the World's Oldest Woman

In the year in which Misao Okawa was born in Osaka, Queen Victoria was still on the British throne, the Spanish American War was raging and Horatio Kitchener triumphed in the Battle of Omdurman.
The daughter of a kimono-maker from Japan’s second city, Okawa assumed the title of the oldest person in the world after the death of 116-year-old Jireomon Kimura in June 2013.
Experts say it is no coincidence that both record-holders are from Japan, which was home to 54,397 centenarians on the last Respect for the Aged national holiday in September - including 282 super-centenarians, who have achieved the ripe old age of 110.

| Misao Okawa pictured with her older sister, circa 1900. |
"Mrs Okawa eats three large meals a day and makes sure that she sleeps eight hours a night," said Tomohito Okada, the head of the Kurenai retirement home where she has lived for the last 18 years.
"She insists that her favourite meal is sushi, particularly mackerel on vinegar-steamed rice, and she has it at least once every month," he said.
Asked about the happiest moments of a life that has now spanned three centuries, Okawa unhesitatingly recalls her marriage in 1919 to Yukio Okawa and the birth of their three children. Her surviving son and daughter have clearly inherited her genes and are now aged 94 and 92.

Why Do Dogs Tilt Their Heads?
Theory No 1 on Why Dogs Tilt Their Heads
Most often, a dog will tilt his head to the side in order to hear more clearly. When they turn and tilt their heads the ear becomes more exposed in an up-and-more-forward position. The result is that the inaudible sounds (fuzziness) that they were catching will become clearer to the ear.
Other Dogs Tilt Their Heads For Different Reasons
Many dogs have learned to cock their heads to the side simply because they get a reward. What is the reward? Well remember at the beginning of this article how I mentioned that this gesture is just too cute?
Your immediate response is to say something like, “Awwwww, like at Buddy with his head turned to the side, how cute!”, followed by lots of petting and soothing tones. This is a reward, and some dogs may have turned their heads to the side a few times in the beginning, but soon enough learned that this will give them lots of that lovable attention.
So if you have ever given a dog this kind of attention after it has tilted it’s head in a really cute way then you have just positively reinforced that behavior. And you know what? The dog will remember this and might do this more often – not to hear better, but to feel better.

An Ancient Virus Revived After 30,000 Years
 |
| The Pandoravirus |
Measuring 1.5 micrometers in length, the Pithovirus sibericum strain is the largest virus to ever be discovered.
“This is the first time we’ve seen a virus that’s still infectious after this length of time,” said Professor Jean-Michel Claverie, from the National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS) at the University of Aix-Marseille in France.
Researchers say the contagion does not pose a danger to humans or animals; rather, it specializes in attacking single-cell amoebas.
“It comes into the cell, multiplies and finally kills the cell. It is able to kill the amoeba — but it won’t infect a human cell,” said CNRS’s Dr. Chantal Abergel.
However, experts admit other potentially harmful viruses could reactivate and spread if more frozen ground becomes exposed from increasing global temperatures.
