Saudi Banker's Rise to Top Aramco Job Tracks Prince's Own Ascent
Vivian Nereim, Matthew Martin and Dinesh Nair, Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) -- If ever there was a doubt that Yasir Al-Rumayyan belonged to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's innermost circle, a photo that went viral in December in Saudi Arabia removed it.
It showed the two of them with five others on Mount Lawz, in the northwestern part of the country, in baseball caps, shorts and t-shirts, prompting Saudi-watchers to call them "hiking bros."
More evidence of Al-Rumayyan's rising clout emerged last week when the former banker, who heads the country's about $320 billion sovereign wealth fund, was appointed chairman of oil producer Saudi Aramco. Al-Rumayyan will be stepping into what's arguably the country's top corporate job as the world's most profitable company prepares for what may be the biggest initial public offering ever.
The 49-year-old's meteoric rise has paralleled that of the prince, often referred to as MBS, who went from being a relatively obscure royal to the most powerful man in the kingdom in just a few years. Their tandem ascent tells the tale of Saudi ambitions as it seeks to wean itself off reliance on oil. The sale of a stake in Aramco is at the heart of MBS's plans to transform the economy, with the IPO proceeds likely to be poured into newer areas in preparation for dwindling oil demand in the decades to come.
"The move of Rumayyan to the Aramco role speaks to his rise and influence with MBS and the leadership," said Karen Young, a Gulf specialist and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. "However, it also shows the weakness in senior management and government ranks. Few people are able and willing to do this work, with enormous political pressure, constant evaluations and government intervention in market situations."
So how did a relatively unknown local banker make it into the country's top echelons and its biggest company? It's unclear exactly how and when Al-Rumayyan met the 34-year-old prince, although people who know him say it's a relatively recent connection. He began being mentioned in official statements as part of MBS's entourage in 2015, just as the prince cemented his own role.
Catapulted into the inner sanctums of the kingdom, the former Saudi Fransi Capital banker quit his job when he was appointed a royal court adviser shortly after King Salman took the throne in 2015. A few months later, MBS was named deputy crown prince and entrusted with the task of transforming the economy.
Al-Rumayyan became MBS's man at the Public Investment Fund, or PIF, the state investment vehicle, charged with recasting it from a sleepy domestic holding company into one of the biggest investors in global technology start-ups. The fund accumulated stakes in electric carmaker Tesla Inc., ride-sharing company Uber Technologies Inc. and made a $45 billion commitment to SoftBank Group Corp.'s $100 billion technology fund.
Many bankers and Saudi-watchers were bewildered by Al-Rumayyan's appointment at the PIF and privately questioned his credentials for such a high-profile role, which entailed sharing the global stage with the likes of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Senior Chairman Lloyd Blankfein.
After all, Al-Rumayyan had been on a relatively unexceptional career path until he was handpicked by the prince. After studying accounting at the King Faisal University and later attending Harvard Business School's General Management Program, Al-Rumayyan, who by most accounts comes from a relatively modest background, began his career at Saudi Hollandi Bank, eventually becoming the head of its international brokerage. In 2004, he became a part of the founding team of Saudi Arabia's Capital Market Authority. He served as Saudi Fransi Capital's chief executive officer between 2011 and 2015.
Then practically overnight, he went from being an adviser on local IPOs to someone courted by the world's biggest business leaders, from JP Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon to Tesla's Elon Musk.
Steffen Hertog, a Gulf specialist at the London School of Economics, called his unlikely ascent "remarkable." "He is not only in charge of MBS's key vehicle for diversifying the local economy and Saudi Arabia's foreign asset base, but also plays an important role at the court," Hertog said.
According to a person who has attended top-level Saudi meetings, the prince always pays close attention to Al-Rumayyan's views. How someone ends up earning the prince's ear appears to be driven as much by their personality and loyalty as their competence, analysts say. That could explain why former Aramco chairman Khalid Al-Falih -- who was viewed as a capable technocrat, but not particularly close to the prince and had reportedly pushed back on the IPO plan -- was edged out of that post.
"The personnel change is reflective of the Crown Prince's desire to restart the IPO," said Gregory Gause, professor of International Affairs at Texas A&M University. "It seemed as if the IPO had been put off indefinitely, which one can assume was what the technocratic leadership of Aramco wanted all along. With the IPO seemingly back on track, it is understandable that the Crown Prince wanted someone not affiliated with shelving the idea previously."
What Al-Rumayyan has is the prince's absolute trust, said a person who has worked with him and known him for more than 15 years.
"Yasir is excellent in managing upwards," he said, declining to be identified, citing local sensitivities. "The key thing Yasir offers MBS is trust. In countries like Saudi Arabia and for the ruling family, trust is the key, capability, not always. The Crown Prince sees him as someone who's not looking for fame, money or designation and he ends up getting all that from him because he doesn't try hard for it."
Al-Rumayyan may also have gained from his reputation as something of a risk-taker, a trait he shares with his mentor, who has sought to shake up traditional Saudi society by introducing reforms including legalizing cinemas, allowing women to drive and letting them apply for passports without permission from the men in their families.
Described as mellow and understated, even underwhelming, by some people who've worked with him, Al-Rumayyan is seen by others as smart, serious, bold and something of a task-master. During his four-year stint as CEO of Fransi Capital, the investment bank topped league tables for a while, raising his profile. Some put that down to his being in the right place at the right time, noting that the Fransi team had built a big pipeline of deals that were completed after he joined, allowing him to take credit for them.
Still, his ambitions for the small, local bank were evident in his decision to open an office in Dubai in 2015 in the expectation that Saudi Arabia would open up to foreign investment, and betting that having a toehold there would ensure investors wouldn't automatically go to international banks. No other Saudi bank was prepared to do that at that point. After Al-Rumayyan left the bank, the new management thought the office was too expensive and shut it down. People at the bank, however, remember it as one of Al-Rumayyan's boldest moves.
"Yasir definitely had a visionary side where things he said that may have seemed a bit futuristic at the time look incredibly prescient in hindsight," said Muskan Thacker, who was the CEO of Saudi Fransi International and opened the bank's Dubai office.
That audacity continued at PIF -- with the prince's blessing. At the luxurious St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort in Abu Dhabi in February, where the Milken Institute held its Middle East and North Africa summit, Al-Rumayyan was asked about the PIF's $45 billion commitment to Softbank's technology fund. His response reflected how closely his views track those of the prince.
"Some people say this is too aggressive -- it could be," he said. "But to us it's still a fraction of our assets under management and we need to be in futuristic investments rather than be in more traditional or conventional investments."
By putting a finance executive at the top of the oil company rather than someone from the energy sector, MBS may be attempting to re-calibrate the outsized role the commodity plays in the Saudi economy. In 2016, he said Aramco "is a company that has a value – an investment. You must own it as an investment. It should not be owned as a primary commodity or a major source of income." Aramco accounts for about 67% of the government's revenue.
The kingdom's de facto ruler has said he expects Aramco to be valued at over $2 trillion, but analysts see $1.5 trillion as more realistic. The original plan, announced by MBS in 2016, was to sell up to 5% of Aramco on the Riyadh exchange and at least one international bourse.
Potential investors in Aramco may have reason to worry about Al-Rumayyan's conflicting interests, given the multiple hats he wears and his closeness to the prince. In addition to his role at the company, he's a top government official, the governor of the PIF -- which MBS wants to expand into the world's largest sovereign wealth fund from 10th spot currently -- and chairman of a small but important think tank in the royal court.
Still, they could take some comfort from Al-Rumayyan's own investment philosophy, and hope he practices what he preaches. Asked at the MENA summit about what he looks for in his investments, the executive said: "my answer is short and sweet -- double digit internal rate of returns."

CISA launches website to combat ransomware
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has launched a new website to reduce the risk of ransomware and help organizations enhance network defenses and be more aware and prepared to deal with malicious cyber actors.
StopRansomware.gov includes information about the critical steps that should be taken to respond to and recover from a cyberattack. This includes a comprehensive Ransomware Guide and Cyber Hygiene services that are available at no cost to help organizations with vulnerability scanning, web application scanning, penetration testing, and phishing assessments.These services can help to assess, identify, and reduce exposure to cyber threats like ransomware.
Ransomware cases are on the rise, according to CISA. In 2020 alone there was a 300% increase in the amount of ransoms paid, compared to the previous year. Ransomware incidents have become more destructive and impactful in both nature and scope.
Malicious cyber actors target critical data and can propagate ransomware across entire networks. Cyber criminals also increasingly use tactics, such as deleting system backups that make restoration and recovery more difficult or infeasible for impacted organizations. The economic and reputational impacts of ransomware incidents, throughout the initial disruption and, at times, extended recovery, have also proven challenging for organizations large and small.
CISA is urging all organizations to visit StopRansomware.gov to help mitigate ransomware risks.

Bora turns 50: Maserati's most rock-and-roll model, by the hand of Giorgetto Giugiaro
The Golden Year of rock, dominated by artists such as David Bowie, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, was also the year the Maserati Bora was born. The car, characterized by sleek, tapered lines with a futuristic and profoundly "rock and roll" soul, debuted 50 years ago today at the Geneva Motor Show.
The influence of the Maserati Bora winds its way through the history of the brand up to the present day and the dawn of the latest chapter in the story of the Trident. As the first Maserati road car featuring a mid-rear engine, Bora set the path towards the future and to this day still shares key characteristics with all Maserati models: exclusivity, sportiness and design.
Following the trend that had already revolutionised Formula 1 racing cars over previous years, Maserati asked Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign to come up with a mid-mounted rear engine sports car with enhanced performance, design, comfort and safety. Bora's silhouette highlights the car's pure aerodynamic and sporty soul, mixed with elegant detailing. One of the many distinctive features of this car are the retractable headlights to prevent aerodynamic drag.
The Bora had a top speed of over 280 km/h, ensuring great driving pleasure thanks to the engine's exceptionally agile response.
The car's engineering design was the work of Giulio Alfieri, while the aerodynamics and styling were by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Bora was a trend-setting, streamlined car with a futuristic mind-set a perfect iconic for the rock-and-roll spirit of the '70s.

#289 - Stephen Pearcy of Ratt - Smash
Stephen Pearcy fronted Ratt through several platinum albums in the Eighties and early Nineties, including Out of the Cellar, Invasion of Your Privacy, Dancing Undercover and Reach For the Sky. The band had success on the pop charts as well, hitting #12 in 1984 with "Round and Round," also a huge MTV hit.
In the early 2000's, Pearcy embarked on a solo career, and he's just issued his fourth solo long-player called Smash. The new album sees him returning to his riff-heavy roots of classic Ratt, while also breaking new ground – there's some strong Led Zeppelin influences here as well. He's also planning a reunion with his bandmates in Ratt for a tour later this year.

Could also be an obscure reference to Etrian Odyssey. There is a quest asking you to find the frozen arm of an adventurer that carelessly decided to fight an ice dragon and lost.
Sorce: "Blizzard Convention" had me worried for a min. :) also 50 levels and NOT SOULBOUND is nice.
Poor guy. They shouldn't take off his arms just because he's frozen.
Just wondering: how did he get just his arms frozen? And more importantly: will we get other frozen bodily parts too?
Acquired from garrison mission Des fureurs dans le blizzard or can also be bought and sold on the auction house. You can get multiples of these and they stack to 20.
For anyone who was wondering, this item is not like items such as Ensemble d'armure rochenoire and Armement saturé de sang, which upgrade your follower's item level to a set number (i.e., 630, 645, etc). Bras gelés de héros actually adds 50 item levels to your follower's current armor and weapon item levels, much like a Amélioration d'arme équilibrée does, but for both armor and weapon ilvl simultaneously.
Makes me wonder how his legs are.
"Look, I found the body of a great hero of Draenor. Poor guy, we should do something to honor his memory. I KNOW! Lets rip his arms off, it should be enough."
I tried using Bras gelés de héros on one of my i675 followers and it did nothing. Disappointed..
Wow, what's with all the downvotes? It really doesn't work on i675 followers.
Arms might just mean weapons. Not the two things hanging off his upper torso.
The obvious: This item has no effect on a fully upgraded 675 follower.
The much less obvious and extra frustrating: This item also cannot be used on a follower who has 675 in a single stat but still needs upgrades for their second stat.
My Mage has had stupid RNG when it comes to upgrade drops, so every single one of that character's followers are capped at 675 armor, but stuck somewhere between 645-666 weapon. Attempting to use this item on any of those followers returns the same "That follower's item level exceeds the power of this spell" error that you'd get trying to use the item on a fully upgraded follower.
Would be SO much cooler if it took 675 up to 725?
Word of caution to players new to the Garrison or followers. The way the follower missions are assigned is that they will be given up to the level of the highest follower. So if ONE follower is raised to ilevel 650 from 600 with this perk, then you will start to get missions at that level which you won't be able to complete until you have a team of followers also at that level to accompany him/her. Almost all of the ilevel 645 follower missions are for 3 followers. So I would recommend not using this perk until you have, or are very close to having, most classes of followers at ilvl 645.
This item will add 50 levels to both weapon and armor of your follower.
Because a vendor sells it 500g +645 wea// 500g +645 armor ( same bonus then) . Just beside the mission desk!
I have seen it on AH for 2k ouch!
An extra R in "group of frost furies" and we would've had a much different kind of convention.
Might also be an obscure reference to Etrian Odyssey. There is a quest asking you to find the frozen arm of an adventurer that carelessly decided to fight an ice dragon, and was defeated.
Small edit: Just to clarify, the French translation of this item uses the word "bras", that can be translated back as "upper limbs".
This can't be used on followers working in a profession building. I just upgraded my follower in my tailor building to 627. Attempting to apply this item gave me red text that "follower is working". I had to temporarily release him from the building (using the architect table) to apply the buff, then reassign him to the building. Fortunately, there's no cost to this, as there is with Legion bodyguards.
Utilise: Améliore l'arme et l'armure d'un sujet en augmentant son niveau de puissance de 50.

Shell appeals OML 11 loss, as Rivers mulls plans for oil block

State targets host community ownership says energy commissioner
Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), in a frantic bid to reclaim ownership of the Oil Mining Lease (OML) 11, has appealed the Port Harcourt federal high court's judgement which had awarded the oilfield to Rivers State.
OML 11 is an oil block covering 33 oilfields yielding 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day (BPD). The area straddles several communities in Rivers such as: Bonny, Bodo West, much of Ogoni land, Andoni, Oyigbo, Afam, Etche, and Ikwerre before terminating in neighbouring Imo State.
After Nembe disaster: 'Buyer beware' all over asset sale, as Shell…
Business A.M. learnt about this during an exclusive interview in Port Harcourt with Peter Medee, the Rivers State commissioner for energy and natural resources. The appeal by Shell puts on hold, so it seems, the state administration's planned utilization of its own portion of the oil block, which the commissioner told this newspaper is to "give the oil block back to the communities for better participation, in order to avoid the agelong crises arising from mining of oil assets to the spiteful exclusion of the host communities.
In September last year, Governor Nyesom Wike had announced that the state government had acquired Shell's 45 percent stake in the idle OML 11 at the cost of $150 million (N54 billion at the 2019 prevailing N/$ exchange of N360). The governor said the government would put the oilfield back into production through a well-mapped out model that would include the active participation of all the host communities.
However, Shell has refused to let the lucrative oil block go like that. The oil giant, with the largest footprint in Nigeria's oil industry, has taken the matter further to the appellate court, after losing its ownership bid at the first level as the defendant. On August 13, the high court in Port Harcourt ruled against the oil company, awarding the oilfield to Rivers.
Medee, an economics lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt before his appointment as commissioner in energy and natural resources ministry, which oversees all issues on petroleum and gas, told Business A.M. in the interview that the government's OML 11 acquisition was propelled by its good intentions for the people. And that in acquiring the oil block; and would soon unveil its ownership structure once the litigations were over. He said the government did not go into acquiring the oil block for the fun of it, rather to manage it to the overall benefit of the state and its citizens.
"Rivers State has very good intentions for the OML 11 That's why it went ahead to acquire the asset. Although it is still under litigation, as we have just been informed that it has been appealed by the other party. But all that would come and go, and Rivers State would unveil its ownership structure for the oil block. We're mindful that there are legacy issues that would be dealt with. As a ministry, I can assure you that we would support the state government to tackle these legacy issues where they are amicably.
"Mind you, Rivers State government would not just acquire the oil asset for the fun of it. It is its intention to acquire the oil block for the betterment of the state. Part of the legacy issues is that the OML 11 is not just Ogoni oil block. People see OML 11 as Ogoni oil block – it's not so – it spans from Bonny, Bodo West, Andoni to Ogoni, to Oyigbo, to Afam, to Etche, Ikwerre, and on to Imo State. So, it's beyond that. But we're aware that the Ogoni problem stemmed from their unhappiness with the way the former operator was handling the oil block. And those things that the Ogonis were asking the former operator to do, which they were not willing to do, those are things that River State government intends to put on the table – that is return the oil block to the host communities of OML 11.
"The state government is saying that those communities who own the oil block, and give them their share to operate to their own benefit, and to the benefit of the operator as well. For us, that would be a better deal than we saw some of the legacy issues. We're not there now. We will get there, and deliver ownership and value to Rivers people. That's the intention of Rivers State government on OML 11. His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike means well for Rivers people. We cannot have such huge asset, and we don't know it is being operated. So, our interest to operate it, our interest to own it, is to give ownership to the communities," Medee explained.
The court had upheld the government's claims, among others that: SPDC judgment debtor's interests in its fixed landed assets comprised in its Kidney Island base, Port Harcourt and interests in lands comprised in OML 11 sold to the Claimant pursuant to the execution of the combined court judgments in Suit No. FHC/PH/231/2001; CA/PH/396/2012 and the Supreme Court appeal No. SC 731/2017 is consistent with the command contained in Section 287(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
That Shell's continued defiant appropriation (despite the completed sale) of possessory and usufructuary rights including pecuniary accruals in respect of its fixed assets comprised in its Kidney Island base, Port Harcourt and interests in lands comprised in OML 11 infringes on Rivers' vested respective rights to title and pecuniary interests therein. Also that, Shell is bound to render accounts to and pay over to Rivers state all accruals from its (Shell) continued appropriation of the pecuniary interests in OML 11, including arrears of commercial rents for their use of the Kidney Island base and jetty from the date the deputy sheriff of the High Court of Rivers State issued title documents thereon to the state, until Shell peaceably yields up possession thereof.
The court held that the claimant (Rivers) ought to be accorded with all interests, rights, privileges and benefits derivable from its acquisition of Shell's fixed landed assets comprised in its Kidney Island base, Port Harcourt and interests in lands comprised in OML 11, in accordance with the title documents issued by the deputy sheriff of the High Court of Rivers State. That the state is entitled to Shell's fixed landed assets in OML 11, in accordance with the title documents issued by the deputy sheriff of the High Court of the state.
The Port Harcourt high court therefore, issued an order compelling Shell, its agents, assigns, representatives, privies or whosoever called, to accord Rivers with all rights, privileges and benefits accruable from its purchase of the oil company's assets in OML 11, directing the company to account for and handover all monetary accruals it had made from its continued appropriation of OML 11 from the date the deputy sheriff of the High Court of Rivers State issued title documents thereon to the claimant, until the defendant peaceably yields up possession thereof. The court also perpetually restrained Shell and its agents, assigns, representatives, privies from embarking on acts or omissions adverse to the title, right and interest of Rivers State over the OML 11.

THE ANGEL ANNOUNCES REDEMPTION
The Lord showed himself to the entire humanity in Bethlehem, a poor town which had not been prepared for such a great event. It all happened in a dirty cave, where – according to the Pope – there were not even the cow and donkey as the tradition recounts.
Up to that time only Mary and Joseph knew of the arrival of the Messiah and it was for this reason that the Lord's Angel, probably Gabriel, who intervened as from the start, wanted to organize the presence of persons adoring the baby who had just been born. It is interesting to note that the angel did not announce the Messiah's arrival in the taverns where the Holy Family had not been welcomed some time before. It's as though this fact disqualifies these people from potentially being among those to be the first to adore the baby.
The angel therefore appeared to the shepherds who were in the nearby pastures with their herds. These people were capable of facing the most ferocious animal to defend their herd but the celestial appearance of the angels could have terrorized them. They had never experienced such an event! This was a special night which they were destined to remember. He told them:
"Do not be afraid, because behold, I am announcing joyful tidings to all the people.
Today in the town of David,
a Saviour was born who is the Messiah, the Lord.
And as a sign to all of you: you will find a baby in a crib."
Suddenly a great multitude of angels appeared in the sky, singing the Lord's praises and saying:
"Glory to the God in the Heavens and peace to all men of good will"
What could the shepherds have understood by these mysterious words of the angel? They had certainly heard of the Messiah's arrival destined to be the Shepherd of the Israeli people. If they had been told to go to Herod's palace to look for the Saviour, it would have been very difficult for them. But if the angels, who had sung so celestially, invited them to visit a poor cave, what could have been more natural for those shepherds. They therefore made haste, and found Mary and Joseph with the baby wrapped up in strips of cloth and cradled in a crib.

Tirupati: The Road-over-Bridge (RoB) being constructed on railway track near RVS College in Chittoor is nearing completion. Construction of the RoB was taken up at a cost of Rs 68 crore in January 2018.
As per the agreement, the bridge construction works have to be completed within 2 years. Under the supervision of executive engineer (R&B) Kaveti Hari Prasad, workers have placed railway girder to connect the both ends of the bridge. The RoB will be opened to traffic by the end of February.
Commuters, especially, pilgrims travelling on Chittoor-Tirupati highway to Tirupati can heave a sigh of relief once the RoB is opened. Travelling time between Chittoor and Tirupati will come down. Due to closing of railway gate near RVS College every time a train passes through, pilgrims were facing inconvenience. Hari Prasad took initiative for completion of work ahead of actual schedule.

INEC withholds Return Certificates for 4 Delta Legislators
Mar 27, 2019 certificates, delta, legislators, return, withholds
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday denied certificates of return to four House of Assembly members- elect in Delta State over pending court matters.
However, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and his Deputy Kingsley Otuaro along with 24 other members-elect were given certificates of return.
National Commissioner in charge of Delta State, Dr Mohammed Lecky, confirmed the development while presenting certificates of return to successful candidates.
He said the four members-elect were denied certificate following court actions.
He listed the affected members-elect as Anidi Emosivwe Ethiope East (APC); Oniyere Whomrouho, Ughelli North1 (APC); Egbo Jaro Movudu Ughelli North 2 (APC) and Ochor Christopher, Ukwuani (PDP).
However, Deputy Speaker, Friday Osanebi representing Ndokwa East Constituency, was conspicuously absent at the presentation ceremony.
It is unclear why Friday Osanebi was absent during the presentation of certificate of return.
Lecky, in a brief remark, congratulated Okowa and other candidates for their victory at the polls.
He said the presentation ceremony was the highpoint of one of the legal requirements on the journey to assumption of office after being returned as elected.
Lecky said section 75 (1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) provides for issuance of certificate of return to candidates, adding the commission has complied with the requirements of the law.
Okowa praised Deltans for the matured manner they conducted themselves during and after the election which he claimed was "adjudged the most peaceful".
He however regretted the death of four persons, adding that three died during the Presidential elections while one died during the gubernatorial election.
He said his victory will spur him to do more in the next four years.
According to him: "I believe Nigeria can be great if all stakeholders remain committed. All Deltans should be ready to work and shun all negative vices in my determination to take Delta to the next level.
"The next four years we will do more than we did in these last four years."

Biohybrid Robots Built From Living Tissue Start to Take Shape
By Victoria Webster

Think of a traditional robot and you probably imagine something made from metal and plastic. Such "nuts-and-bolts" robots are made of hard materials. As robots take on more roles beyond the lab, such rigid systems can present safety risks to the people they interact with. For example, if an industrial robot swings into a person, there is the risk of bruises or bone damage.
Researchers are increasingly looking for solutions to make robots softer or more compliant — less like rigid machines, more like animals. With traditional actuators — such as motors — this can mean using air muscles or adding springs in parallel with motors. For example, on a Whegs robot, having a spring between a motor and the wheel leg (Wheg) means that if the robot runs into something (like a person), the spring absorbs some of the energy so the person isn't hurt. The bumper on a Roomba vacuuming robot is another example; it's spring-loaded so the Roomba doesn't damage the things it bumps into.
But there's a growing area of research that's taking a different approach. By combining robotics with tissue engineering, we're starting to build robots powered by living muscle tissue or cells. These devices can be stimulated electrically or with light to make the cells contract to bend their skeletons, causing the robot to swim or crawl. The resulting biobots can move around and are soft like animals. They're safer around people and typically less harmful to the environment they work in than a traditional robot might be. And since, like animals, they need nutrients to power their muscles, not batteries, biohybrid robots tend to be lighter too.

Building a biobot
Researchers fabricate biobots by growing living cells, usually from heart or skeletal muscle of rats or chickens, on scaffolds that are nontoxic to the cells. If the substrate is a polymer, the device created is a biohybrid robot — a hybrid between natural and human-made materials.
If you just place cells on a molded skeleton without any guidance, they wind up in random orientations. That means when researchers apply electricity to make them move, the cells' contraction forces will be applied in all directions, making the device inefficient at best.
So to better harness the cells' power, researchers turn to micropatterning. We stamp or print microscale lines on the skeleton made of substances that the cells prefer to attach to. These lines guide the cells so that as they grow, they align along the printed pattern. With the cells all lined up, researchers can direct how their contraction force is applied to the substrate. So rather than just a mess of firing cells, they can all work in unison to move a leg or fin of the device.

Biohybrid robots inspired by animals
Beyond a wide array of biohybrid robots, researchers have even created some completely organic robots using natural materials, like the collagen in skin, rather than polymers for the body of the device. Some can crawl or swim when stimulated by an electric field. Some take inspiration from medical tissue engineering techniques and use long rectangular arms (or cantilevers) to pull themselves forward.
Others have taken their cues from nature, creating biologically inspired biohybrids. For example, a group led by researchers at California Institute of Technology developed a biohybrid robot inspired by jellyfish. This device, which they call a medusoid, has arms arranged in a circle. Each arm is micropatterned with protein lines so that cells grow in patterns similar to the muscles in a living jellyfish. When the cells contract, the arms bend inwards, propelling the biohybrid robot forward in nutrient-rich liquid.
More recently, researchers have demonstrated how to steer their biohybrid creations. A group at Harvard used genetically modified heart cells to make a biologically inspired manta ray-shaped robot swim. The heart cells were altered to contract in response to specific frequencies of light — one side of the ray had cells that would respond to one frequency, the other side's cells responded to another.
When the researchers shone light on the front of the robot, the cells there contracted and sent electrical signals to the cells further along the manta ray's body. The contraction would propagate down the robot's body, moving the device forward. The researchers could make the robot turn to the right or left by varying the frequency of the light they used. If they shone more light of the frequency the cells on one side would respond to, the contractions on that side of the manta ray would be stronger, allowing the researchers to steer the robot's movement.
Toughening up the biobots
While exciting developments have been made in the field of biohybrid robotics, there's still significant work to be done to get the devices out of the lab. Devices currently have limited lifespans and low force outputs, limiting their speed and ability to complete tasks. Robots made from mammalian or avian cells are very picky about their environmental conditions. For example, the ambient temperature must be near biological body temperature and the cells require regular feeding with nutrient-rich liquid. One possible remedy is to package the devices so that the muscle is protected from the external environment and constantly bathed in nutrients.

Another option is to use more robust cells as actuators. Here at Case Western Reserve University, we've recently begun to investigate this possibility by turning to the hardy marine sea slug Aplysia californica. Since A. californica lives in the intertidal region, it can experience big changes in temperature and environmental salinity over the course of a day. When the tide goes out, the sea slugs can get trapped in tide pools. As the sun beats down, water can evaporate and the temperature will rise. Conversely in the event of rain, the saltiness of the surrounding water can decrease. When the tide eventually comes in, the sea slugs are freed from the tidal pools. Sea slugs have evolved very hardy cells to endure this changeable habitat.

We've been able to use Aplysia tissue to actuate a biohybrid robot, suggesting that we can manufacture tougher biobots using these resilient tissues. The devices are large enough to carry a small payload — approximately 1.5 inches long and one inch wide.
A further challenge in developing biobots is that currently the devices lack any sort of on-board control system. Instead, engineers control them via external electrical fields or light. In order to develop completely autonomous biohybrid devices, we'll need controllers that interface directly with the muscle and provide sensory inputs to the biohybrid robot itself. One possibility is to use neurons or clusters of neurons called ganglia as organic controllers.
That's another reason we're excited about using Aplysia in our lab. This sea slug has been a model system for neurobiology research for decades (opens in new tab). A great deal is already known about the relationships between its neural system and its muscles — opening the possibility that we could use its neurons as organic controllers that could tell the robot which way to move and help it perform tasks, such as finding toxins or following a light.
While the field is still in its infancy, researchers envision many intriguing applications for biohybrid robots. For example, our tiny devices using slug tissue could be released as swarms into water supplies or the ocean to seek out toxins or leaking pipes. Due to the biocompatibility of the devices, if they break down or are eaten by wildlife these environmental sensors theoretically wouldn't pose the same threat to the environment traditional nuts-and-bolts robots would.
One day, devices could be fabricated from human cells and used for medical applications. Biobots could provide targeted drug delivery, clean up clots or serve as compliant actuatable stents. By using organic substrates rather than polymers, such stents could be used to strengthen weak blood vessels to prevent aneurysms — and over time the device would be remodeled and integrated into the body. Beyond the small-scale biohybrid robots currently being developed, ongoing research in tissue engineering, such as attempts to grow vascular systems, may open the possibility of growing large-scale robots actuated by muscle.

Suhana's perfect body.. Here's her secret mantra!
New Delhi, Dec 13: Daughter of superstar, Suhana Khan has always been gorgeous with her appearances and makes headlines. It all looks like that she is inclined towards having a fit and toned body too.
Recently, videos of her working out by full body pull ups and pushups and here is what the star kid follows to keep herself fit as ever.
For starters, Suhana is a big-time fan of sports and occasionally includes swimming in her fitness routine. Also, she makes sure she indulges herself in yoga thrice a week so that she keeps her mind and body relaxed and rejuvenated at all times.
Suhana, who is also gearing up for her Bollywood debut is obviously taking it easy and focusing on body weight exercises and lifting lighter weights in the gym.
While her breakfast includes eggs, bread toast and glass of milk, she limits it to foods like sandwiches and juices for her lunch. She prefers a light and home-cooked dinner which usually includes dal, fresh vegetables and fish, chicken or other meats of her choice.
