...found first. "There are a lot of promises in land-mine detection, but still, what people often come back to is the guy poking around with a stick," says Elleholm, speaking of technologies such as ground-penetrating radar, infrared devices and thermal neutron activation. Many current methods are slow and cover no more than 1% of the estimated 77,220 sq. mi. of the world's land-mine-infested territory every year. Elleholm says Aresa's technique can cover five times as much ground in the same amount of time as other detection techniques...
...lyrically brilliant as ever, proving that he has few peers in this area of the rap game. He also breaks into uncharted political territory, dissing radio host Don Imus, George W. Bush, and even Ronald Reagan. “American Gangster” does get off to a slow start, and it’s definitely back-heavy. The last third of the album–where Diddy’s production crew, the Hitmen, are conspicuously absent–is markedly better than the rest. “Pray,” the first song and second track...

They need sustained help from influential media to push their cause ahead. In addition to Shi Zhengrong's solar energy, another story is worth TIME's coverage: Ni Jie and his company Luyuan Electric Vehicle are producing about 300,000 electric bicycles a year to provide Chinese consumers with an affordable, less polluting...

...interested enough in reports. I don’t think this is self-governance.”While ETC would prefer that research were halted in time for policy makers to assess the synbio landscape, the truth is that if research in this field were slowed in the U.S., international laboratories would have an instant scientific advantage. This would be similar in the way that strict domestic stem cell research policies have allowed for oversea successes. But unlike with stem cell research, error in efficient oversight of synbio research in any one country could cause instant global repercussions?...
