Welcome to Slipsters Blog, my little piece of ideas that could chnage the world. We have ideas from the Animal world, Applied science, Development, the Environment, and Information Technology complates the first half.
We then follow up with articles on Medicine, Nanotechnology, Plants, Problem Solving, Space and of course we have the final section on the latest News.
Chesley Sullenberger III, the pilot of US Airways A320 became famous overnight after he saved the lives of 155 passengers on board. He had to crash land the plane on Hudson River after both the engines failed to work soon after the takeoff. The passengers and crews were all safe and he himself before leaving the plane to safe zone made it sure that no one was left inside the plane.
The plane departed from the LaGuardia Airport and soon damaged both of its engines after colliding with a flock of birds around 3:30 in the afternoon. As soon as the captain announced the emergency situation, everybody inside the plane panicked. They hid their heads behind their laps and started to pray. The captain had an option to emergency land at the nearby airport at Teterboro but ultimately he did not. He headed towards the Hudson River and finally the plane hit the water with a bang. An eyewitness said that everybody felt like going through a minor motor accident. Most of the passengers were hurled into the front seats.
Finally the rescue boat came and saved everyone on board. Nobody was seriously injured and Sullenberger became a real hero after saving 155 lives. Had he not acted in this manner, the result could have been more than worse.
St. Louis University has developed an adorable pooch called Sparky. According to the report of the Journal of The American Medical Directors Associations, dogs cure loneliness. A team from Stanford University is busy creating robot solely for purpose of home assistance. Aibo, a robotic dog developed by Sony has been in the market for some time. This new age robots will not only be your assistance but your partner.
The main war was between Sparky and Aibo. The research was conducted among residents from 38 different nursing homes. Aibo always has an edge over the other, courtesy Sony.
Sparky was reddish brown with white color and had floppy ears and was liked by many residents. He reacted efficiently to the commands and even wagged his tail. Most of the residents felt as if they are petting a real animal. On the other hand people took more time to adjust with Aibo but slowly they become comfortable. Aibo too wagged his tail like Sparky and even blinked his lights. It was an amazing attempt to mix the human and computer interaction. These robotic dogs were developed to reduce loneliness, but those who have developed these dogs have failed to do themselves.
Even Christmas Eve creates environmental problems. According to a research, food worth $5 billion is wasted during this occasion around the world. Tons of foods are wasted and they eventually rot.
As per AAP, Christmas waste is 20 times more harmful than the emission for a car. We do need to understand the ill effects of food waste that is resulting in the constant change of climates. A kilo of beef is equivalent to 50,000 liters of water. Leftovers of ham, chicken and turkey should be used afterwards in
sandwiches and other items. Vegetable leftovers can be used in soups too.
Christmas trees should only be put into the organic dust bins after use. The WSN Environmental Solutions is concerned about the problem. This facility has been offered especially to those who don’t have an organic bean. Even people who are old and physically disable can take the assistance of WSN to get rid of
the Christmas tree.
The liability to keep the environment clean lies on us only. The decoration should be properly removed once Christmas is over. Any kind of wastes should be disposed of with due care.
Researchers have discovered that feeding children fish from a young age can drastically reduce the chance of eczema. Their studies have revealed that if you feed a baby fish within their first nine months, their chances of getting eczema are reduced by 24%.
Eczema affects one in five babies before they reach one year of age, and the numbers have been increasing in recent years. According to the Swedish study, it does not matter what kind of fish your baby gets fed, and it can be either oily or white fish. Research has also revealed that having a pet bird in the home will also decrease the chances of your child getting eczema.
Big Dog is the US Army’s latest attempt to take some of the weight off their soldiers. The massive 11 stone machine is designed to carry four bags full of equipment through terrain that is virtually impossible to pass by any other vehicle. (more…)
The Sahara Forest Project is one of the latest exploration projects that could turn deserts into thriving patches of vegetation. The design will use sea water and solar power in order to grow food in greenhouses in desert areas. (more…)
Remains of a 120 million year old dinosaur have been discovered in the village of Morello in Eastern Spain. The exciting discovery may be from an unknown species, and scientists are very excited with the find. The bones are all relatively intact, and thus far the vertebrae, ribs and thigh bone have been found from this enormous animal. (more…)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be invisible? Have you thought about all the things that you could get up to, and all the jokes that you cold play on people? Being invisible has long been a far fetched dream for many of us; something that we can wonder about but would never happen. But is invisibility so far-fetched, or is it a possibility that it just around the corner? Scientists have now developed two new materials that are able to bend light the wrong way, bringing us one step closer to invisibility. (more…)
Ancient life has been discovered in Antarctica dating back fourteen million years. Fossils of plants and animals that lived on the continent before it froze over have been found in a miraculous discovery. (more…)
The southwest of England has been suffering from a record high number of strandings of dolphins along the coast. Experts fear that the loss of any more bottlenose dolphins in the area could cause the end of them all together. Conservationists have worked hard to devise a system to help the dolphins avoid being prey to fishing nets and the plan will be implemented in the waters of Cornwall. (more…)
Radical animal rights activists have proposed making lab-grown meat on a large-scale production worldwide. They have offered one million dollars to the scientist who can come up with a way to grow edible animal tissue to stop cruel methods of killing animals for food. (more…)
When the world changed into digital, things became much easier for photographers. All of a sudden you could look at your photos immediately after taking them and you no longer had to wait a week to get them developed! With digital cameras, you were given the option to keep or delete the photos, and you would know if you had a good shot as soon as you had clicked the button! Many of us have still got old negatives lying around, or old rolls of film that have been tucked away in the corner. With the new digital film scanner, you can convert all of your old negatives into digital photographs within seconds. This great new gadget makes it so easy to use up those old films and to get copies of your old negatives which you may have thought were obsolete. The best thing of all is that you no longer need to wait for days to get them developed! (more…)
Researchers at the University of Leeds have invented a “virtually waterless” washing machine. This new machine will use less than 2% of the energy and water of the machines that we are currently using while removing stains just effectively.
In India the revered Sardar Bhagat Singh College of Technology and Management named the Indian god Hanuman a board chairman. This monkey god is known for strength and valor. The school decided to name him chairman thinking that it will bring them great success. The job comes with a posh office that includes a laptop.
How does this affect us all exactly? If you think about it, if each college in the world did this, they would be able to lower the amount of tuition. The schools would easily save $100,00/year (well depending on where it was) which is a drop in the bucket, but every little bit helps when it comes to lowering costs.
The only problem: how does he cast a vote at the meetings?
