Microsoft saves the humankind

Life is a giant puzzle full of suspense and mystery

Many a question has gone unanswered since time began and throughout history

Thoughts of how life began and how it might end fill the minds of humankind

The ageless question about our existence in life is asked by the seeing the deaf and the blind

Why are we alive what purpose do we serve

To whom do we owe our existence to and why is he not visible

Can He be one of us or is he some higher being

We think and we ponder we start to let our imaginations wander

We lay awake sometimes at night discussing with ourselves our many doubts

Sometimes many sleepless nights go by and our health begins to plunder

There are many religions and beliefs many faiths and many ideas

So many gods there are so many lords and so many ladies

Whom should I choose and whom should I follow

So many are they that following just one is an idea that is sometimes hard to swallow

They all have their definitions of life they have guidelines and they have moral codes

Their leaders and scholars come from many classes in life

While some prefer the beggar's life others prefer a mighty abode

All seem to be so logical all have their own philosophies

They talk about everything from who to worship to how to appreciate a gentle breeze

The more you think the more you are confused and the more you wait or try to avoid it the more you are accused

Wars have come and gone and come again all in the name of faith

All came from good intentions but as wars go their outcomes were the same

A lot of innocent lives were lost and many historical treasures were damaged or stolen again as wars go people never stopped to think about the costs

I dream of a peaceful world one free of violence and of fear

Sadly that is much more of a foolish dream than one which might come true

For in spite of all our differences on one thing we all agree

For all the good in our world there is also a dark side which is seen

For all the angels there are devils that are full of hate that enjoy cruelty and being mean

Yet we still choose to live our lives we still choose to go on

We all have different answers some of which we search for others we stumble upon

Unless you choose a path by which to go by this mystery might remain unsolved

Probably a summer trail during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

The term stalactite comes from the Greek word stalaktos, which means “dripping”, because these other-worldly formations are produced by “drips” from the ceilings of limestone caves. Water reacts with chemical elements in the ground and rock, and seeps slowly through the roof of the cave, depositing calcium carbonate, which hardens and builds up over time to form a stalactite.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society where none intrudes,

By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:

I love not Man the less, but Nature more,

From these our interviews, in which I steal

From all that I may be, or have been before,

To mingle with the Universe, and feel

What I can ne'er express, yet cannot conceal.

 

~ Lord George Byron, "Childe Harold," Canto IV, Verse 178

On Saturday, the symposium scene shifts from the Brucknerhaus to the Lentos, an ideal venue for a discussion of the respective roles allocated to art and science, and the real-world possibilities of and limits to collaboration between them. Scientist George Church (US) and artist Joe Davis (US), brilliant transgressors of the borders of their respective disciplines, will present their positions and work in the area of new biotechnologies. Afterwards, they’ll take part in a panel discussion about the theory and practice of collaboration among artists and scientists with curator and bio-art expert Jens Hauser (DE/FR) and CERN physicist Michael Doser (AT/CH). Then Gabriele Lohmann (DE) will elaborate of the role of new imaging methods in brain research, and give us an idea of the enormous potential the latest findings in the neurosciences have to change our views of humankind.

Good luck finding the field of focus in the cluttered flower photo. Think of it as my metaphorical commentary on so-called Climate Change theory, which truth isn’t so clear as political proponents of the science would have everyone believe.

 

The hubris of humankind is to put ourselves at the center of everything—and that’s as much taking blame as claiming credit. Much is clear that the planet undergoes a warming trend. Focus on carbon emissions identifies sole cause and people to blame. But the picture is more complex, or so I say, like the one here presented for your viewing.

 

Hubris and Humility

I am not one of these so-called Climate Change Deniers. I don’t doubt that we burn too many fossil fuels and that changes are necessary. I worry that too much emphasis is placed on the one cause—kind of like putting all eggs into one basket, as the cliché goes.

 

Recent urgency to solve the problem puts forth solutions, such as wind farms, that may lead to other, unexpected catastrophic environmental outcomes. Human hubris—no arrogance—is certainty that we understand the full scope of Earth’s ecological and environmental systems when we most certainly cannot.

 

The starting point should be humility—admitting that we do not understand the complexity of our planet’s ecosystems and acknowledging that all the science supporting, or even questioning, so-called Climate Change is fundamentally flawed. Until we loudly accept how little we understand and how much we don’t know, any identification of causes, and the solutions, risks failing. That’s if we’re lucky. If unlucky, we might create bigger problems than the one sought to be resolved.

 

Disagree, Please

Right now, in the United States (if nowhere else), alarmist politicians and progressives say we have nine years to save the planet from irrevocable climate disaster. Political expediency is to create urgency and compelled common consensus. Dissension is impermissible, and disagreeing individuals or institutions are given labels like deniers—and that’s when they’re not less politely called stupid.

 

But we need sound science minds that disagree about the causes or what humans might do in response to them, and when. Their ideas, their voices, contribute to the Scientific Method. Debate is essential to addressing a simple, but profoundly significant hypothesis: Human production of carbon emissions is the fundamental cause of global warming. That’s but one hypothesis of many to be further researched and continually debated in the quest to understand the extent of the so-called Climate Crisis.

 

Anyone suggesting that the science is settled should check his or her ego at the door, so to speak. Your arrogance, and that of anyone supporting you, poses far greater threat to our species’ survival, and that of our home, than the burning of even one gallon of gasoline. Research and debate should continue, not be silenced. Of course, solutions should be pursued, meanwhile, and certainly cutting carbon emissions is a fantastic start. Waving the threat of imminent doom can only lead to rash responses. Research should continue alongside actionable public policies.

 

Research should look into other human causes, such as the heat producers that are cities. What about the planet’s natural responses—like increased plant growth resulting from increased carbon dioxide levels? Plants absorb more heat than reflect sunlight, right?

 

Disastrous Distraction

Meanwhile, Climate Change obsession distracts, if not sidelines, examination of other potential problems facing humanity long before the consequences of rising greenhouse gases. Among them: Availability of drinkable water, which already is in short supply some places where humans live. Increasingly inevitable future water wars would be absolutely attributable to human beings and likely lead to far more Earth ecosystem disruption and destruction than rising greenhouse gases.

 

Where is the urgency and where are the public policies for conserving water? Surely that’s more easily enacted than massively reducing carbon emissions in short order.

 

I wonder how many of the people crying “nine years to Climate Doom” also drink bottled water? Consider the amount of energy required to produce plastic bottles (you know, from oil), so there’s problem one. Problem two: The plastic in the bottles is petroleum-based. Another: How much water is used to produce one liter bottle of water? Low estimate, from industry: 1.39 liters. University California Davis researchers: 8.23 liters.

 

Know-it-Alls

So, please, as you celebrate Earth Day and bang the drum for reducing carbon emissions, open your mind. There are many other immediately urgent environmental problems. Don’t fixate on the one, nor be a know-it-all about the science.

 

Nobody knows enough, and the fool isn’t the person disagreeing with your so-called facts but you: arrogance refusing to debate or to encourage continued Climate Change studies. If you believe the point-of-no-return quickly approaches, isn’t that all the more reason to learn more?

Sunset above the Tiananmen Square. The sky turned into a diffuse soft salmon-pink. A beautiful sight, but the realisation that a lot of this beauty comes from the excessive air polution above Beijing takes away a lot of the fun.

We lost an elderly dogwood (Cornus florida) to uprooting in the Great October Snowstorm of '11. When I went to yank the remaining roots, it became obvious why: the main structural roots were all hollowed out. I found this huge larva crawling around nearby. It does match root borer (Prionus) larvae, and Prionus laticollis is the only sp reported on BugGuide from NJ or neighboring states, so I'm going to go with that for now. We saw an adult this past summer in a neighboring town, so I was primed to recognize it: there can't be too many things around that are this big!

“The fact that a cloud from a minor volcanic eruption in Iceland—a small disturbance in the complex mechanism of life on the Earth—can bring to a standstill the aerial traffic over an entire continent is a reminder of how, with all its power to transform nature, humankind remains just another species on the planet Earth.” ―Slavoj Žižek

In To the Ones I Love, Thierry Smits places nine dancers of African descent on the stage. More precisely, for this choice is a vital one, he uses nine dancers whose complexions hark back to Africa. In short, they are dark – either black or of mixed race. These dancers have different nationalities but belong to the world, and the fact that they are scattered over several continents proves that the world belongs to them despite the discriminatory reflexes that are incarnated in today’s immigration policies and talk about national identity. The mixing of races and cultures mocks these retreats behind the walls of identity, defies all categorisation, and transmits a troubling, implacable message of change, for tomorrow humankind will be mixed or it will not be.

 

Thierry Smits’s message is not political, however. It deliberately sets out to be aesthetic and refuses all concessions to exoticism. The principle is to set bodies used to “Western” choreographic techniques but nevertheless shaped by other traditions and dances in motion. They dance in a white decor and are literally transported by Johan Sebastian Bach’s music, by its overflowing generosity and immense virtuosity. The challenge is obviously to manage the unexpected outcomes of the meeting of different cultural references.

 

In putting nine bodies sculpted and sublimated by dance and music on the stage, Thierry Smits issues a message of love by giving a metaphorical dimension to the difference of the loved one, for the other one whom one loves is, by definition, different from the one of oneself. To celebrate twenty years of choreographic creation, Thierry Smits is treating himself to a moment of immense pleasure whilst offering his audience, family, friends, and lovers this visual gift, proof of a constantly renewed energy and an endless hunger to love passionately.

Ce vendredi 14 avril 2017, tous les médias étaient réunis à Saint-Malo pour la mise à l’eau du navire Energy Observer. Une journée forcément particulière pour l’initiateur de ce projet, le Malouin Victorien Erussard, d’autant plus qu’au même moment naissait son fils !

“On met le bateau à l’eau et mon fils naît en même temps… C’est formidable !”

Victorien Erussard ne cache pas son émotion et sa joie, perché sur le cockpit de son catamaran futuriste Energy Observer, qui vient d’être mis à l’eau ce vendredi 14 avril, vers 13 h 15. Alors que quelques minutes plus tôt, il était encore auprès de sa femme, qui venait de mettre au monde son fils, Georges.

Une joie partagée par toute son équipe, notamment Jérôme Delafosse, le chef d’expédition d’Energy Observer. Le bateau débutera en effet bientôt un périple de six années autour du monde, pour sensibiliser le public sur l’utilisation des énergies renouvelables. La première étape est prévue à Paris en juillet prochain.

Energy Observer est un navire autonome en énergie et sans émission de gaz à effet de serre, propulsé grâce à diverses énergies renouvelables : 130 m2 de panneaux photovoltaïques, deux éoliennes à axe vertical, une aile de traction et toute une chaîne de production d’hydrogène via la transformation d’eau de mer, assurent la propulsion électrique du bateau.

On peut dire que la Bretagne est d’ailleurs pionnière en la matière. Puisque le 9 avril dernier, c’est de Lorient qu’est parti un autre bateau, Raceforwater, un projet suisse qui a les mêmes objectifs.

Le capitaine d'Energy Observer a vécu deux moments inoubliables, ce vendredi 14 avril 2017. La mise à l'eau du bateau, sans souci, dans le bassin Duguay-Trouin, à Saint-Malo. Et la naissance de son deuxième fils, Georges, qui a vu le jour à 12h50!

Si la mise à l'eau a été retardée d'une petite demi-heure, c'est parce que tout le monde espérait la venue de Victorien Erussard, le capitaine d'Energy Observer.

Ce dernier attendait un autre événement de taille, la naissance de son deuxième fils. Le petit Georges a pointé le bout de son nez à 12h50, soit 20 minutes avant la mise à l'eau du bateau!

Ça y est ! Le bateau Energy Observer est à l’eau. Il y avait foule ce matin pour suivre l’événement, esplanade Saint-Vincent, à Saint-Malo. Temps gris mais pas de pluie. Les manœuvres se sont faites en douceur et sans anicroche. Energy Observer est paré pour l’aventure !

Encore une étape pour le projet Energy Observer. Le bateau a été mis à l'eau, hier midi, sous les yeux de la foule. Une matinée riche en émotions et ponctuée d'une jolie surprise.

11 h. L'effervescence commence à se faire sentir. Le clou du spectacle ne se produira pas avant deux heures, mais les passants commencent à prendre place derrière les barrières entourant le bateau et l'esplanade.

Energy Observer a déjà été déposé sur la plateforme d'un poids lourd. C'est un grand jour pour ce bateau unique au monde. Une semaine après sa sortie de chantier, il va retrouver son élément.

Sa mise à l'eau intrigue et fascine les spectateurs. Jean-Marie, 65 ans, habite la région parisienne, mais il vient régulièrement à Saint-Malo, où il a un bateau. Intéressé par les « choses de la mer », il est venu suivre l'événement avec des amis. « Je n'ai jamais vu de mise à l'eau d'un bateau comme ça. Il est vraiment magnifique. »

12 h. Il a bougé ! Le catamaran a quitté son promontoire de l'esplanade Saint-Vincent, où il était exposé depuis une semaine, pour se positionner près du bassin Duguay-Trouin. Une grue l'y attend déjà.

La famille Leblond ne perd pas une miette du spectacle. Arrivés le matin même à Saint-Malo pour leurs vacances, les quatre membres de la famille ont été accueillis par Energy Observer.

« On l'a découvert à ce moment-là. Nous n'en avions pas du tout entendu parler. On n'a pas l'habitude de voir un moment exceptionnel comme celui-ci. On sait qu'il y a pas mal de risques, que les ouvriers n'ont pas le droit à l'erreur dans leurs manipulations. C'est passionnant à regarder. »

12 h 30. Le public ne lâche pas des yeux les opérations. Energy Observer est en train d'être sanglé afin d'être soulevé dans les airs. Ce moment magique et crucial va être retardé d'une demi-heure pendant lesquelles Jérôme Delafosse, futur chef d'expédition de l'aventure Energy Observer, et l'équipe retracent l'histoire et la vocation expérimentale du projet.

Curieux : Victorien Erussard, le président du projet et capitaine, n'est pas là... Un bruit circule parmi les proches du projet. On en saura davantage plus tard.

13 h. C'est parti. Le bateau se soulève dans les airs, comme en lévitation. À une dizaine de mètres du sol, il opère une rotation pour se placer dans le bon angle, pour la mise à l'eau. Observé sous toutes les coutures, Energy Observer révèle son élégance. Appareils photo et smartphones capturent ce moment émouvant.

Autre moment émouvant, Jérôme Delafosse explique au micro pourquoi Victorien est en retard à cet événement pourtant crucial pour lui. Il est, depuis quelques minutes, le papa d'un petit garçon, né à 12 h 50. Un très joli clin d'oeil du destin.

13 h 15. Alors que le bateau se rapproche du plan d'eau, le jeune papa vient tout juste d'arriver de l'hôpital. C'est une double naissance qu'il vient de vivre. Son petit Georges est né vingt minutes avant la mise à l'eau du projet sur lequel il travaille depuis trois ans. « C'est une synchronisation absolument incroyable », lâche-t-il, applaudi par la foule qui partage son bonheur.

13 h 17. Le compte à rebours est lancé et va durer bien plus longtemps que les cinq secondes prévues. Le temps suspend son vol, alors que le bateau n'est plus qu'à quelques centimètres de l'eau.

Zéro ! Ça y est, Energy Observer flotte sur cette eau de mer d'où il puisera son énergie. Victorien Erussard et Jérôme Delafosse grimpent sur le bateau. Bras en l'air, ils savourent ce moment unique dans une vie.

Dans la foule, Louis aussi est ému. Ce biologiste de 24 ans salue l'initiative des deux hommes en faveur de la planète. « Mettre en avant ce genre de projet, trouver des partenaires qui vous accompagnent et réussir à attirer autant de monde pour ce genre d'événements, je trouve ça très encourageant », reconnaît le Vannetais. Energy Observer transportera le message dans le monde entier.

C’est un grand jour pour la soixantaine de personnes qui travaille depuis deux ans sur le bateau Energy Observer. Le catamaran de légende, reconditionné avec un condensé de technologies, va être le premier à faire le tour du monde, propulsé grâce à des énergies renouvelables et de l’hydrogène fabriqué à partir de l’eau de mer. Ce vendredi 14 avril, le bateau va être mis à l’eau officiellement à 12 h 30. Le public est invité à suivre cette première aventure. Energy Observer est exposé depuis une semaine sur l’esplanade Saint-Vincent à Saint-Malo.

Il était exactement 13 h 20, hier, lorsque le catamaran Energy Observer, un bateau propre à propulsion hydrogène, a touché l'eau du bassin Duguay-Trouin sous un tonnerre d'applaudissements.

Ils étaient nombreux à ne pas vouloir manquer l'événement. Hier, en fin de matinée, plusieurs milliers de personnes s'étaient massées sur l'esplanade Saint-Vincent, autour du catamaran Energy Observer. Malgré l'attente de la foule, « le bateau du futur » de 25 tonnes a d'abord joué les filles de l'air avant de toucher l'eau du bassin Duguay-Trouin. Il était 13 h 20. Un tonnerre d'applaudissements a aussitôt résonné de la place et de « l'Étoile du Roy » où avaient pris place les personnalités.

Double bonheur

Le plus heureux d'entre eux était certainement Victorien Erussard, le skipper malouin qui a failli rater la mise à l'eau de son catamaran qu'il attendait depuis quatre ans et demi. Il s'en est fallu d'une petite demi-heure. La raison : à 12 h 50, son deuxième fils, Georges, voyait le jour à la maternité voisine ! Nicolas Hulot, le parrain, est lui arrivé bien après que le catamaran à propulsion à hydrogène ait rejoint son élément. Il était resté bloqué dans son train. Ce qui ne l'a pas empêché de saluer les vertus de ce bateau propre. « C'est une illustration de ce que pourrait être la transition écologique. J'aurais rêvé d'avoir un tel bateau quand j'ai fait Ushuaia. »

Claude Renoult, le maire de Saint-Malo, était également présent avec, près de lui, Stéphane Fiévet, conseiller artistique à la Ville de Paris. En effet, durant son tour de France, le bateau malouin fera escale dans la capitale durant la première quinzaine de juillet. Ce n'est qu'ensuite qu'il entamera un tour du monde qui devrait durer 6 ans.

  

The Energy Observer catamaran is poised to set sail around the world powered by renewable energy. It will spend six years on its historic journey on the high seas.

The craft will be powered by the sun and wind, backed up with a fuel cell system that converts sea water into hydrogen.

A team of around 50 sailors, engineers and architects are preparing the two hulled boat in St.Malo in France.

The ambitious project comes in the wake of the Solar Impulse plane which completed its flight around the world using just solar energy.

“Energy Observer is a technological challenge. We are a kind of Solar Impulse of the sea, made in France and the idea is to aim for energy sustainability of the vessel; to use nature, renewable energies and make a world tour completely autonomously,” explained Victorien Erussard, Energy Observer founder and captain.

The 30 metre long catamaran started life as a successful multi-hull ocean racer which itself had been recycled.

Solar panels, wind turbines and the hydrogen fuel cell system are being installed during the refurbishment which has taken more than three years.

The boat remains the same size but on completion will be twice as heavy.

When Energy Observer sets sail the crew will include a multimedia cameraman to document the journey. The expedition leader hopes it will record what can be done to reduce global emissions.

“Everybody will be able to see this boat, to know it better and then to follow it on social networks and live the adventure from the inside because we will offer very innovative content, like the virtual reality; so you would be able to follow Energy Observer almost daily,” enthused Jerome Delafosse, expedition leader.

It’s hoped Energy Observer will be ready to set sail in April.

The five million euro craft will depart from Saint Malo in Brittany and make the first of its 101 stops across 50 countries in Paris as part of its six-year global circumnavigation.

Forsee Power, a specialist in lithium-ion battery solutions, is proud to announce at the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo that the company will be providing the battery system that will be integrated aboard the Energy Observer – the first ever self-sufficient electric catamaran: Energy Observer

The Forsee Power battery system will be coupled with an energy system developed by the CEA Liten research institute. The system can store the energy produced by the solar panels on the boat, and will be combined with electricity generated by a fuel cell used to propel the vessel forward and supply the auxiliary systems.

The battery system will be made of the Flex EP7 modules, as well as the BMS and Master-BMS battery management systems.

Available on the market for the past four years, Forsee Power technology is extremely safe, reliable, and durable, and has proven experience in marine applications.

The project is sponsored by Florence Lambert and Nicolas Hulot, and supported by the Nicolas Hulot Foundation for Nature and Humankind.

The CEA will be attending the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo with a new model of the Energy Observer.

Since the creation of humankind, war has been an inevitable part of our history. Through times, weapons and equipments become more and more sophisticated, but something has never changed: the raging bloodlust of men, seeking for the sweet taste of victory and revenge. Nothing can represent such idea as well as a mecha named Arthur. It has appeared in almost every battles that had occured since 1893 - the rising year of mecha technologies. While Arthur mostly just killed everyone insight, it peculiarly withholds its fury during wars with Britain's involvement. Subsequently, it usually takes side with the UK, eagerly and willingly battle for the nation. As such, many considered it, or rather who piloted it, to be an English. The robot earned its name due to its weapon: the long broadsword, and its bias for Britain coincide with the legendary hero King Arthur.

 

Note:

Finally getting back to mechas! My 6-month absence can be justified with the enrollment announcement from my top dream school: CNN. I spent 6 months to study hard for probably the most important exam in our country and finally got in my favorite school. So personally, this mech is built as a celebration to this event!
