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.

Few days after the government acceded to Taliban demands to enforce Sharia law in the area, Pakistani reporter Musa Khan Khel has been shot dead in Swat Valley . Reporters Without Borders also reveal that his body was beheaded.  He was abducted by unknown assailants while covering a “peace” rally by Taliban supporters. Reporters Without Borders expressed outrage at the murder today

On the same day a score of armed and masked men blew up the press club in Wana, capital of the South Waziristan tribal area, completely destroying the building. In two other recent incidents, a journalist received death threats and a television reporter was briefly abducted after interviewing a Taliban spokesman.

The body of Musa Khankhel, aged 28, a reporter in the Swat valley for Geo News and the newspaper The News was found beheaded a few hours after he was snatched during a “peace march” near Matta by supporters of the pro-Taliban cleric, Maulan Sufi Muhammad, one of his colleagues confirmed to Reporters Without Borders. There was no claim of responsibility. Several other reporters and journalists have been kidnapped and news reveal more than many murders in recent times.

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…)
