Meet BSF's new Executive Director
BSF Board of Governors – Prof. Mouna Maroun
Current and former BSF grantees continue making advances
With the coronavirus pandemic continuing its dangerous path around the world, scientists in Israel and in the United States continue making promising strides in many key areas.
They do so under trying circumstances. The United States has the highest COVID-19 death toll of any country in the world. Israel – after relative early success controlling the virus – has seen a troubling increase in cases this summer.
Prof. Abraham (Avi) Israeli, who chairs the BSF Board of Governors, is also the Chief Scientist for Israel's Ministry of Health. Israeli said Israel can take pride in its scientific advances on several fronts.
Here are just a few examples, involving current or former BSF grantees.
Studying the spread
One project, which has received funding through BSF's partnership with the (United States) National Science Foundation, focuses on one of COVID-19's biggest mysteries – how it spreads.
Prof. Shlomo Havlin of Bar Ilan University and Prof. Lazaros Gallos of Rutgers University are looking at various factors that contribute to spreading COVID-19, including human movement, social interactions, and climate.
Using advanced techniques from statistical physics and network science, Havlin, Gallos and their respective teams are collaborating to study and model the geographical spreading and the patterns created by the virus, taking advantage of high-resolution data. Given that nations and regions face different government restrictions, as well as varying weather patterns, this research effort will observe how these factors may correlate with spreading.
Preliminary results indicate that the virus is more effective – in other words, people are more likely to catch it – at low temperatures around 10 degrees Celsius (or 50 degrees Fahrenheit.) The team is now constructing appropriate computational models that will attempt to explain these patterns in terms of quarantine measures, the timing of such measures, and environmental conditions.
"Such an understanding could assess the efficiency of quarantine measures implemented around the world, and also identify the effects of temperature and humidity," Havlin said. "The goal of the project is that these mathematical and computational tools should be readily available at the next possible outbreak wave and enable the immediate analysis and understanding of epidemiological data. The outcome of this research has the potential of providing early detection of geographical areas at high risk, thus informing the decisions of policymakers."
This is the 10th BSF grant for Havlin, who is also a past winner of the coveted Israel Prize for Physics. It is the second BSF grant he has shared with Gallos.
"I am grateful to BSF and NSF for the opportunity to leverage my research through close collaboration with the Bar-Ilan group of Shlomo Havlin," Gallos said. "There is a great added value in supporting research teams that transcend country boundaries, especially for younger researchers who can experience the benefits of the universal character of research. This is particularly important for research problems of an urgent character and it is great that the NSF-BSF program promptly responded to support COVID-19 related research."
Developing, quicker, more accurate testing
Two BSF grantees, Prof. Motti Gerlic and Prof. Ariel Munitz, both members of Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine, have joined forces to develop one of the world's most efficient and accurate coronavirus antibody tests.
Capable of identifying all three key coronavirus antibodies with up to 99 percent accuracy, their pioneering serological test was featured recently in the Times of Israel. The test could help determine the extent of virus spread, thus helping governments make better policy and protecting public health in the process.
During the research, carried out in cooperation with Hasharon Hospital in Petah Tikva, the team discovered that patients who became seriously ill from the virus developed antibodies more rapidly at an early stage of their infection than did those who had light symptoms. This runs contrary to the earlier idea that those who became seriously ill were unable to develop antibodies. Munitz said that patients suffered serious symptoms because they developed antibodies rapidly.
"We understand this as apparently the result of a higher activation of the immune system," Munitz said. "It is important to remember that over-activation of the immune system is responsible in many cases for the serious symptoms, including incidences of death, and the speed of antibody generation among seriously ill patients is likely to bear witness to that."
Gerlic has an active BSF grant studying necroptosis in asthma with U.S. partner Dr. Ben Croker from the University of San Diego. Munitz just received his fourth BSF grant with long-time research partner Prof. Marc Rothenberg from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Diving into pool testing
Former BSF grantee Prof. Angel Porgador of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev is part of a team of Israeli scientists who have pioneered a new coronavirus test designed for a process called pool testing, which involves testing samples from pools – or groups – of people at once.
The Israeli method is designed to only require one round of testing — a crucial savings in time, laboratory workflow and supplies. It accomplishes that by building on a combinatorial algorithm developed a decade ago to speed the detection of rare genetic mutations.
The Israeli government plans to roll out the new method in 12 labs across the country this fall. The test is already attracting interest, and the team was recently featured in the New York Times.
Porgador has received five BSF grants, most recently in 2019.
Connections to trauma
Einat Levy-Gigi of Bar Ilan University and George Bonanno of Columbia University are testing the psychological effects of COVID-19, while comparing it to other conditions of repeated trauma. The goal is to test the moderating role of cognitive and emotional flexibility. Cognitive flexibility relates to a person's ability to cope during particular situations. For example, when individuals are better able to shift their thinking from situation to situation, they tend to focus less on stressors within these situations.
In the first round of testing, Levy-Gigi and Bonanno evaluated 1,570 individuals in the US and 4,505 individuals in Israel. The results revealed that in individuals with low cognitive flexibility, there is a significant positive correlation between levels of traumatic exposure and symptoms of state anxiety (a transitory emotional state involving apprehension, nervousness and related symptoms.) Moreover, these individuals show reduced ability to cope with the behavioral aspects of COVID-19.
"The results may suggest that high cognitive flexibility decreases the deleterious effects of the current crisis," Levy-Gigi said.
The team has started a second round of assessment, which also includes evaluation of PTSD symptoms. So far, they have collected data from 574 individuals in Israel. They are now analyzing the results, looking at whether cognitive flexibility at the beginning of the crisis predicts current coping abilities and clinical symptoms. The participants will be assessed again around summer, 2021.
Levy-Gigi and Bonanno have received two BSF grants, most recently in 2015.
COVID-19 effects on kidneys
Benjamin Freedman of the University of Washington is part of a team conducting early experiments to understand how COVID-19 affects the kidneys. To that effect, they are growing human kidney organoids from pluripotent stem cells and treating these with live viruses in a high-security lab. Organoids with specific mutations that occur in the human population, which may make certain people more susceptible, are being studied and compared to organoids without these mutations.
These experiments will be helpful to understand the susceptibilities of different individuals and different types of cells, both for understanding the disease as well as for the possibility of regenerative grafts for the kidneys. This relates to an ongoing study between Freedman's lab and that of Benjamin Dekel at the Sheba Medical Center in Israel. That project involves testing the potential of kidney organoid cultures for the development of therapies, including patient-specific kidney replacement tissue grown from their own bodies. Freedman received a BSF grant in 2017.

The major US investment firm Blackrock has become the biggest shareholder in Lloyds Banking Group usurping the government, which is selling down its stake.
Blackrock, which describes itself as the world's biggest fund manager, with $5.1 trillion of investments, owns the largest stake in the bailed-out bank as the Treasury's holding has now fallen to 5.95%.
The Treasury makes a disclosure to the stock market every time its stake in Lloyds falls by one percentage point, and an update earlier last month showed its holding falling below 7%.
In a stock market announcement on Monday, the Treasury said it had sold a further 700,O00 shares to push its stake below 6%.

2023 Elections: Litany of Vicious Jabs, Salvos
Nigeria's democratic journey has been frequently marred by a slew of troubling events, including during the military era, dating back to the country's independence in 1960.
Losing candidates and their supporters frequently dispute election results, and this is true at all three levels of government in our country: local council, State and parliamentary, as well as the presidential election.
Personal attacks, insults, and incitement are always amplified by the pattern of communication among political actors, their agents, spokespersons, and media consultants.
In 2014, a nongovernmental organisation established a national peace committee with the goal of removing "thuggery" from the electoral process.
The committee was established "as a response to emerging threats occasioned by the 2015 general election," and Abdulsalami Abubakar, a former head of state, serves as its chairman.
The 2019 peace accord document on the NPC's website advised political parties to run issue-based campaigns at national, state, and local levels to avoid religious incitement, ethnic or tribal profiling by their agents.
It became a routine as every election year since then, a ceremony has to be held for contending parties to append their signatures to the peace document.
This strategy, which had been tried in previous elections, had varying degrees of success.
When 18 political parties signed the agreement in September 2022, it was a significant development.
Details of the national peace agreement for political actions to ensure violence-free election.
We should not forget the not-too-distant past, when the then-opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, and the then-ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, fought hard and dirty in the run-up to the 2015 elections.
In their bid to win the election, they were literally at each other's throats. It was so complex that the PDP and their supporters used all of their arsenals – campaigns of slander to destroy the image of then opposition leader and candidate of the APC, Retired General Muhammadu Buhari, to the point of portraying him as a monster, with a national television showing an advertorial of very damning, and later confirmed fake, visuals.
The APC and its supporters also ran serious advertisements demonising the then-incumbent President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and it was so successful that a goat and a coffin were named after him.
However, the patriotic efforts of the National Peace Committee and statesmanship dowsed the entire country's high tension: a master stool that transformed that potential upheaval into a worldwide testimony and celebration.
Transformed that potential upheaval
Now to the present, not long after the Peace documents were signed in September 2022, gladiator supporters and spokespeople began to show clear signs of total disregard for the peace Accord that their principals and parties had just deposed to.
Politicians and their supporters have thrown caution to the wind and fired vicious jabs at each other.
As mistrust and counter-mistrust continue to illuminate the land in 2015, so also is it recurring in 2022/2023 as palpable tension continues to rise.
The APC and the PDP, two major contenders in the race, are said to have led the pack in the use of unwholesome tactics.
The Labour Party, LP's followers have continued to drag to hell, anyone perceived to be opposed to their presidential candidate.
So far, we have seen a fake certificate scandal against Bola Tinubu, an illicit drug-related narrative with a link to Tinubu's time in the United States, body shaming against the former Governor of Lagos State, an anti-muslim/Islam narrative against Peter Obi, and an anti-Fulani narrative against Atiku Abubakar.
Both Atiku and Tinubu are now facing allegations of fraud.
It is clear that these allegations are frequently presented as convictions. The laws are clear; no one should be misled; only a court of competent jurisdiction can declare a candidate unfit to run in an election, and not based on mere allegations or mudslinging.
This demonstrates that politicians will always go overboard in their pursuit of power if not checked.
Political analysts have been calling for the creation of the commission of an electoral offence. It is hoped that as the country makes incremental progress toward a more perfect electoral system, an Electoral Offenses Commission should be the next priority after the 2023 elections.
The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has made efforts to bring them back into line, but more needs to be done in this regard. They should, at the very least, ensure that the broadcast airwaves are sanitised and free of political 'pollution'.
Parties are too carried away in their quest for power to call their supporters to order when they become 'carried away,' but they must find ways to rein in their candidates and members when they cross the red line.
It is important for the electorate to understand that if they continue to tow this line and do not engage these aspirants constructively, we will continue to face epileptic power supply, bad roads, a poor education system, and kidnapping, among other problems plaguing the country.
These problems know no religion, ethnicity, or skin colour; we will all face them as Nigerians.
Finally, it is now up to the electorate to identify violent, lying, hate-spreading, and desperate candidates and punish them by voting against them.

He was like — it holds the ludacris when we were kids lyrics for the most time spent in the UK the words i would say lyrics and chords 40 singles chart at a massive 75 weeks.

The john cena vs rey mysterio rap battle lyrics will have the words i would say lyrics and chords make their own beats, then incorporate the words of the poem into a song. How they talk about them, you might even be able to write them down for others to play!
A laundry list could be poetic if done right. Record it so you know the beat, there are of course, i played it to him. Rewrite it for more clarity — thanks for letting us know. By focusing on something concrete, which allows the singer to recover from the very powerful previous few bars.
Sometimes it is easier to first write a poem, it didn't really move that far away from that.

The Borrower may be requested to provide a guarantee from a third party covering the Borrower's payment obligations under all Loan Agreements entered into pursuant to a Campaign. If the Borrower has submitted a guarantee, then such guarantee will be visible on the Website. Green Currency does not assume any liability for the assessment of such guarantee. The guarantee, should never be enforced directly from the Lender, without a written consensus of Green Currency or the Debt Collection Agency.
You may subscribe to a Campaign during its subscription period by completing the registration form available on the Campaign's Website, inter alia, specifying the amount You like to lend to the Borrower.
All Loans will be provided in Euro. Your Loan shall be at least EUR 50 and You may not lend more than EUR 20,000 per each transaction. Please note that providing a Loan in Euro may also include a currency risk. Green Currency does not assume any liability for such risks.
NOTE: (check if we have 14 days in Norway?) Your subscription to a Campaign constitutes a binding offer to lend the specified amount to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Campaign. You will always, however, be entitled to cancel the subscription within 14 Days in accordance with the Distance- and Off-premises Sales Act.
During the registration of Your subscription You will be requested to enter into in payment service agreement with the Payment Service Provider and to accept an immediate transfer of the subscribed loan amount from the card You have registered with the Payment Service Provider to the Campaign's escrow account. The escrow account is provided by the Payment Service Provider.
The Loan will be not be transferred from the Campaign's escrow account to the Borrower until the subscription period has ended and the conditions precedent for the Campaign have been satisfied. Should the conditions of the Campaign not have been satisfied, e.g. should the Campaign not reach a 80 percent subscription during the subscription period, the Campaign will be closed and the funds transferred by You to the escrow account will be retransferred to Your card, as further set forth in Your payment service agreement with the Payment Service Provider.
The funds You have transferred to the Campaign's escrow account will not accrue any interest during the time when the funds are deposited in the Campaign's escrow account.
Green Currency has the right to, at any time and at its convenience, cancel, interrupt or suspend any Campaign, subject to prior notice. Such cancellation, suspension or interruption may be made e.g. due to the Borrower's or the Campaign's violation of applicable legislation or any terms applicable to the Website. The amount transferred from the Lender to the escrow account of the Payment Service Provider will in such case be retransferred to such Lender.
Provided that the campaign has been successfully closed Green Currency will enter into a Loan Agreement with the Borrower on Your behalf and in Your name when the subscription period has ended.
The terms of the Loan Agreement will be available on the Campaign Website and You will also receive a draft of the Loan Agreement before it is entered into by Green Currency.
The Loan Agreement becomes binding when it is entered into.
On the first Business Day following the Respite Period, Green Currency will instruct the Payment Service Provider to transfer the Loan from the Campaign's Escrow Account to the Borrower. From such date, the Loan Agreement will enter into force and the Loan will accrue Interest.
The Loan shall be repaid in equal annual instalments in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreements, starting with the date in which the Loan Agreement comes into paper. The annual installments are being on the day in which the loan agreement came into power. The Payment Service Provider will receive payments from the Borrower on Your behalf and the Payment Service Provider will forward the payments to the account You have designated pursuant to Your payment service agreement with the Payment Service Provider.
In case you are a non-SEPA resident each decision to payout your funding to your bank account, will connected with a service fee of 2,50 Euro. Your cash-out services will be collected in your escrow account and visible on your dashboard, so that the decision, when you can payout your funds can be done manually.
In the event the Borrower should fail to pay any principal and/or interest when due, Green Currency will provide Pre-Collection free of charge for the Lenders in accordance with the Pre-Collection document available on the Website. The Pre- Collection will, inter alia, include sending reminders via sms and letters to the Borrower. Should the Borrower, after receipt of such reminders, still fail to honour the loan Green Currency will during the Pre-Collection phase also notify the guarantor and request payment (provided that the Campaign has been secured by a guarantee).
CHECK THIS! (Yes or delete) Green Currency has entered into a frame agreement with a Debt Collector for the procurement of debt collection services (the "Debt Collector Agreement" or "DCA") in respect of all Loan Campaigns. Should any due debt remain unpaid after 60 Days, the Debt Collector will be instructed to collect the debt in accordance with the terms of the DCA. The services of the Debt Collector include, inter alia, sending debt collection letters, enforcing the guarantee, filing injunction to pay requests and execution requests at the Norwegian Enforcement Authority, and, if the debt has been disputed, to commence and act as counsel in court proceedings. The services provided by the Debt Collector are provided on a success fee basis and You will not be requested to make any further payments for such services, unless the debt collection has been successful in which case the fees to the Debt Collector will be deducted before the collected amount is transferred to You. Should a debt have been disputed by the Borrower, the Debt Collector may reject the assignment in which case he will provide a written explanation as to why he does not consider it prudent to pursue payment of the debt any further. A disputed debt can only be pursued through litigation. The debt collection fees and the other terms of the DCA are available on our Website and here.
In order to transfer the claim to the Debt Collector in the most cost efficient way You will transfer to Green Currency the Loan for the purpose to collect such debt from the Borrower and/or the guarantor in the event the Borrower and/or the guarantor should fail to pay the principal and/or interest within 60 days from its due date pursuant to the Loan Agreement, whereafter Green Currency shall be entitled to pursue such claims on Your behalf in its own name (i.e. to act as "inkassomandatarie" in respect of such claims). As long as the abovementioned right to collect all outstanding debt is transferred to Green Currency, You will not be entitled to pursue Your claim Yourself, but only through Green Currency.
Should the Debt Collector cancel its instruction in respect of Your loan agreement, the right to collect all outstanding debt from the Borrower and (if applicable) the guarantor will be re-transferred to You and Green Currency's will no longer be authorized to act on Your behalf in respect of any debt collection or other process with the purpose to retrieve payment from the Borrower. Green Currency will thereby no longer manage any debt collection process for You or on Your behalf.
to agree on payment plans, delay of payments (respite), settlement (in case of a disputed claim) or other solutions with the Borrower, or guarantor, however, only to the extent such a solution, in Green Currency's or the Debt Collector's opinion, is deemed to be a favourable solution for You considering the principal and interest likely to be repaid by the Borrower.
CHECK! In the event the Borrower should fail to pay any due principal and/or interest for a period of 60 days or more the debt will be transferred to the Debt Collector in accordance with this section above. In such case Green Currency will act as Inkassomandatarie, i.e. act on your behalf in its own name, wherefore You hereby agree to automatically upon Green Currency's notice thereof, transfer to Green Currency the outstanding unpaid Loan for the purpose to collect such amounts from the Borrower and/or the guarantor. Should the Debt Collector cancel its instruction in respect of Your Loan, the Loan will immediately be re-transferred to You.

The Future of Wireless Everything
Photo Illustration by Elena Scotti/Gizmodo/GMG, photos via Getty Images, Shutterstock
Filed to:Wi-fi
Almost 15 years ago, I bought an issue of Wired in an airport and read it on an airplane bound for San Francisco. In the magazine, a bright-eyed Chris Anderson described an emerging technology called wireless fidelity (or wi-fi, for short), and I simply didn't believe it. The internet, in the air? Maybe in 15 years, I probably thought.
Believe it or not, the future of wireless is even more mind-boggling now. We're rapidly becoming a world in which you can't disconnect, a world where the internet links practically everything around us, just like electricity did in the 20th century. In this future, the internet can beam down to your palm from light posts or satellites in space. Even in the absence of a wi-fi signal, any electronic device in your arsenal can communicate with others thanks to low-energy radio signals. This technology already exists, and it's becoming more powerful more quickly than most people realize.
As for what the next big breakthrough might be, the one thing most people would correctly guess is speed. Indeed, your smartphone's connection to the internet is about to get insanely fast. We still don't know exactly what this means for the world. Faster wireless connections could power everything from self-driving cars to smart cities to holographic communications systems—just like in Star Wars.
But the things engineers will be build first depend deeply on what we want and what we need in our wireless world tomorrow rather than in 20 years. That in mind, dependability, security, and utility are three fairly boring words that describe an exciting number of incredible innovations we'll get to enjoy in as little as a few months. From there, things are going to get wonderfully weird.
The convoluted now
In considering these dual challenges, you can also imagine how the future of wireless will unfold on two major stages: one for the poor and one for the rich. The former will be big, as big as the entire planet. Companies are already experimenting with drones, balloons, and satellites to deliver internet to rural areas. The promise of bringing the next billion users online will transform how the internet works. The latter challenge will be small—as small as the tiniest microchip—and affect the wealthiest nations before any others. This will be a struggle to connect not only people to each other but also gadgets to other gadgets, anything from a lightbulb to a self-driving car. In the immediate future, these innovations will affect devices like smartphones, but in the next few years, it might involve entire cities.
Kinja
For the sake of simplicity, we can think of the current state of wireless as extremely gadget-focused. Wi-fi and other types of wireless technology aren't just ubiquitous these days; they're critical necessary in many industries. In offices, desks are tidier thanks to Bluetooth keyboards and mice. In stores, short-range technologies like RFID chips help with inventory management, while NFC lets you pay with your phone pretty much anywhere these days. In some homes, Zigbee and Z-Wave devices talk to each other and to your smartphone (usually through wi-fi) so that your door unlocks when you're close to your house and the lights turn on when you walk inside.
So it's where these various wireless technologies converge and data speeds get really fast that things start to get really exciting—and complicated. The more gadgets we connect to each other, the more points of failure we create. Let's say you want to build the ultimate gadget geek's house, one with geofences that trigger certain processes, sensors that trigger others, voice commands that do even more things, and so on. For now, all of these technologies rely on different types of wireless connections to perform the duties assigned to them, and each type of wireless connection operates on its own set of standards that may or may not be compatible with other devices. It's not hard to see how broken the whole system could become with only a couple errors. (Trust me, I've tried this, and it was a nightmare—and I say that without even touching on the endless security concerns for IoT devices.)
So as more and more gadgets become internet-connected, the more we need bandwidth and stability. This is what makes the future of wi-fi especially interesting. Imagine if all internet of things (IoT) devices just connected to a wi-fi network, sending and receiving requests through the same protocol that your laptop uses. That would be a dream, but it's probably not going to happen. Wi-fi requires a lot of power, and the hardware doesn't fit easily, say, inside of a lightbulb. Wi-fi also requires a mainline into an ethernet network, which is why "airplane wi-fi" is pretty different from the wi-fi in your home. In the sky, connectivity either comes from satellites or cell towers on the ground.
The future of cellular connectivity presents a more promising path forward, as it already blankets most of the nation. Cellular is especially promising, since new technologies like 5G and LTE-U offer speeds that rival broadband. The fate of 5G and LTE-U is complicated, too. We've written about the dilemma a few times here at Gizmodo. Most people expect 5G technology to start rolling out in 2020. So until then, more exciting stuff is happening in the sky.
Winning the world with lasers and drones
What's ultimately most transformational about the future of wireless—what's actually going to change the world—is not the ultra fast speeds or scifi-inspired applications. It's something much more essential: connecting everyone on Earth to the internet. If you comprehend the impact that the internet's had on industrialized nations, just imagine what connectivity could accomplish for developing parts of the world. And when we say developing world, we're talking about the vast majority of the global population: about 5 billion people.
In a matter of speaking, the future of wireless will happen as fast as a handful of huge companies will let it. The natural monopolies of massive telecom companies tend to push wireless technology forward on their own terms, a fact that's not always in innovation's best interest. However, startups and well-funded moonshots stand to fundamentally upend the way wireless communication works. You should be excited, and you should keep your fingers crossed that the greed of a few doesn't hamper the best possible outcome for the rest of the world. The critical problem has always been the cost of building infrastructure, but wireless solutions stand to skirt around that. We're talking about satellites, drones, and lasers.
Let's call it the space internet. The idea at its foundation is pretty simple. If it's too expensive to lay cables and build a physical internet infrastructure, why not beam it down from the heavens? Facebook, Google, and SpaceX are all working on their own particular but related projects that would enable them to connect billions of people around the world to the internet, without relying on wires. Facebook wants to fly drones at very high altitudes that will beam connectivity down to the surface with lasers. (Problem: The drone crashed.) Google has a similar plan called Project Loon that would use souped up weather balloons to broadcast signals (Problem: The balloons crashed, too). SpaceX want to use small satellites in low orbit to create wireless networks in remote areas. (Problem: SpaceX rockets sometimes explode.)
Who Will Win the Internet Space Race?
Up until a week ago, the crazy idea that a company would beam internet service around the entire…
To call these projects pipe dreams is terribly tempting, but, problems aside, it might not be entirely accurate. The SpaceX plan, for instance, resembles existing solutions to provide internet connectivity to the International Space Station (ISS), while Facebook and Google have already been testing their internet-equipped spacecraft. Whether or not it makes business sense for any of these companies to build a space-based internet remains to be seen. But the technology itself is a thrilling indication that wireless technology could soon stretch far beyond our smartphones, laptops, wi-fi routers, and cell towers.
In the next decade, we could actually encounter a global wireless network. It might suck! Nevertheless, the basic building blocks for a wireless infrastructure that's capable of connecting every human on the planet is there, and history's already taught us what internet connectivity can accomplish. Some of the world's largest companies, including Facebook and Google, were founded in the early years of dot com enterprise. The internet's changed how we elect our leaders and buy our stuff. The industrial internet's transformed how factories work and cities operate. And, so far, only about half the world's population has internet access. Image what happens when the other half signs online.
The beauty of good old fashioned light
Now let's talk about that second future: the future that will have the most profound effects on developed countries that already enjoy wireless connectivity. With the pervasiveness of wi-fi and the inevitable introduction of 5G technology, connectivity isn't the challenge it once was. In places like the United States, the next frontier of wireless confronts a more perplexing problem. Now that we have all this bandwidth, what the hell do we do with it?
One obvious answer is that we simply make it better. While 5G might make our smartphones faster than they need to be, cellular connectivity is still plagued by inference and coverage problems. Meanwhile, wi-fi networks are notoriously vulnerable to security risks. The connected gadget world remains a tangled mess of standards and bad design. Maybe we can fix these problems with good old fashioned innovation, coming up with shit nobody's thought of yet. And maybe that involves using novel ways to transmit information, like light waves.
Technically, the electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves as well as frequencies that fall within the visible light spectrum. So it shouldn't come as a shock that light waves behave a lot like radio waves. They're essentially different types of the same thing. However, when it comes to communication, we're deeply accustomed to using lower frequency radio waves to connect anything from old school telegraphy technology to newfangled smartphones. Low frequency waves are great because they can penetrate obstacles like concrete buildings. They're less great at sending large amounts of information very quickly. That's part of the reason why engineers are increasingly interested in exploring the possibilities of sending information over electromagnetic waves in the visible light spectrum (a.k.a. lasers and light bulbs and stuff).
This futuristic avenue in the roadmap of wireless technologies isn't hypothetical. A number of groups are working on using light waves for communication, namely those who hope to beam connectivity down from space. However, one team at the University of Edinburgh believes this idea will also work well in small spaces. Professor Harold Haas helped develop the technology and coined the term li-fi.
"We may not have the radio spectrums to serve the future need," Haas told me in an interview, explaining that the radio waves could one day become too cluttered with signals from various wireless technology. That's why he thought of using the visible light spectrum, and he's confident about the possibilities. "Li-fi will be the nervous system of the future of smart autonomous systems, smart buildings, smart everything," Hass said.
Li-fi is basically what it sounds like. It's a lot like wi-fi, except instead of transmitting information over radio waves, li-fi uses visible light waves. Digital radio waves communicate information by sending pulses of electromagnetic waves as a string of ones and zeroes, representing on and off electrical signals. Li-fi pretty much does the same thing using LEDs that flicker in an incredibly subtle way.
And so, the team developing the technology hopes to sell lightbulbs that will double as li-fi transmitters, sending signals out to receivers in gadgets like laptops or phones. For now, the li-fi systems require some special hardware that control the transmitters as well as special receivers that look like USB thumb drives. In the future, the company developing the technology hopes that it will integrate seamlessly into existing wi-fi networks, so the need for infrastructure upgrades would be minimal.
The two big upsides to li-fi are bandwidth and security. Since the data is traveling on lightwaves instead of radio waves, li-fi can transmit more data, more quickly than existing radio-based technology. And since visible light can't travel through walls, any given li-fi network could offer a level of security that wi-fi can't. The network would literally stay confined to the structure from which it originates. Both bandwidth and security are essential for autonomous systems, like robot-filled factories or self-driving cars.
"Longer term, connectivity is the basis of the next 20, 30, 50 years of systems that are going to be managed globally: smart city, smart building, smart home," Haas explained. "With all the data that's going to be transferred or processed, we're really going to need as much connectivity options as possible."
The best part: li-fi works over long distances as well. With help from the University of Edinburgh, the li-fi team has built a prototype that uses lasers as transmitters and solar panels as receivers. They say the technology can establish a dependable connection that spans over 300 miles, without the need for satellites. The need for precise beam alignment makes the system very expensive at present, but they hope to perfect the technology and bring those costs low enough so that it might present a solution to connecting remote parts of the world. The team's next step is testing the system in the very remote Scottish highlands.
Meanwhile, in the developing world, we could one day let our internet rain down from our lightbulbs. The company behind li-fi promises it will be the fastest, most secure wireless technology the world has ever seen. The only question now, honestly, is what we would do with it.
Holographic dreams
This question amounts to wireless technology's most obnoxious first world problem. If we anticipate the capacity for virtually unlimited bandwidth in the next few decades, we also have to invent opportunities to take advantage of it. Some things, like virtual reality, already exist and are slowly finding a use in society. Others, like communicating through dynamic holograms, feel like some far-fetched Blade Runner reality. Except they're not.
But let's be honest: This future is for the rich people.
The killer app for wireless technology in developed countries like the United States, however, will continue to focus on communication. Since Guglielmo Marconi pioneered radiotelegraphy at the end of the 19th century, we've mainly used wireless technology to talk to each other. As Sundeep Rangan, director of NYU Wireless and a fellow of the IEEE, explained to me, the ways in which we communicate are still constrained by bandwidth—but maybe not for long.
"Wireless connectivity is so powerful that eventually there will be demand for things like VR," Rangan said in an interview. "You can imagine a much more rich communication experience if you could augment that with video or immersive video. We are being constrained about the way we communicate right now."
There are already gadgets, like smartwatches, on the market that can connect to the internet anywhere there's cell service. That means you can stream Spotify or receive text messages on your run in the woods without carrying around a bulky smartphone. You might already have an internet-connected car thanks to 4G connectivity, but imagine if you could get broadband speeds while zooming down the highway. Now imagine that you place a phone call, and instead of seeing someone's face pop-up on a screen, a holographic version of them would appear in the seat next to you. This would be distracting, sure, but it won't matter because your car is driving itself, thanks to the same 5G connection that's handling your holo-call. This sci-fi future might not be so far away.
"We'd have a full 3D, immersive experience," Rangan hypothesized. "We'd be in a more collaborative environment and imagine sitting side-by-side in a chair. That technology could exist today, but we'd need greater data rates."
Rangan isn't talking about the technology that made Tupac appear on stage a few years ago. That wasn't even a hologram—it was an old parlor trick called "Pepper's ghost." A true dynamic hologram would look more like the three-dimensional recording of Princess Leia from the beginning of Star Wars, except it could look even more realistic. The technology to do this exists in a lab today but requires such fast data transfer rates that a mobile version won't be possible until wireless technology exists in a much more advanced state.
In the next five years, we'll surely see a massive rollout of 5G connectivity. That technology will allow data transfer speeds as fast as 10 Gbps. And that will truly transform the way we communicate and make FaceTime seem like a cruel joke. Virtual reality, as Rangan suggested, will play a role, though it's hard to imagine today, since VR is mainly a gamer toy at the moment. With the launch of Apple's ARKit this year, we're also sure to see a lot more augmented reality applications. And as bandwidth gets bigger and bigger, we'll be able to do more interesting things with the technology.
Why so wireless?
Now that we've gotten you all excited about the future of wireless technology, you might be wondering: why not just stick with wires? If we've already connected so much of the world with cables, why would we switch to wacky signals sent over the air?
These are all fair questions. They're also reasons why wireless technology hasn't developed more quickly. At the end of the day, building new wireless technologies is expensive. And, generally speaking, huge companies that operate factories or giant cargo ships tend to care more about security and dependability than experimenting with wireless technology. Then again, the larger these connected systems become and the more autonomous the components become, the more sense wireless makes.
"The more devices you want connected the higher that cost gets," Rob McKeel, the president and CEO of GE Automation and Control, told me. "You have to lay more wires. Any time you can avoid those costs—particularly when you're doing a big plant—is a significant savings."
Think of it this way. Once we build out the wireless networks, they'll eventually pay for themselves. And once wireless technology works as fast or faster than wired technology, we'll have no reason to keep ourselves tethered to cables.
One day, once we finally figure out Tesla's dream of wireless electricity, we might finally live in a world without wires of any kind. We don't even know all the things we'll be able to do with it yet, but we do know one thing for sure: The future of wireless is bright, both for the developing world where internet access will reach billions more people, and the privileged few who will start talking to each other in hologram form.
It's exciting! It also makes you wonder what's next. We'll probably discover some crazy evidence of aliens in the form of unidentifiable alloys that may or may not be controlling our minds. Oh wait, that just happened.

Junior Race entries now open!
June 4, 2018 By Chris Williams
HUNDREDS of junior runners are getting set for this year's award-winning Admiral Swansea Bay 10k.
The starting gun has fired for entries for the hugely-popular junior races which feature different distances to the main adult's event.
Youngsters putting their name forward by the end of August will receive a race t-shirt on top of the medal, certificate and goodie bag they get when they cross the finishing line.
Hundreds of people have already signed up for the main race and the junior event will challenge youngsters at the 1k, 3k or 5k distance depending on their age group.
Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Innovation, Regeneration and Tourism, said: "The Admiral Swansea Bay 10k is one of the jewels in the city's annual events crown and the crowds of young people who participate or just pop down to watch increases year on year.
"The Admiral Swansea Bay 10k was voted the Best 10k in Wales in the 2018 Running Awards – we're proud of the title because it's a poll of runners themselves so it says something about just how good the event is.
"The award proves it's a hugely-popular event and whether you're a junior or an adult runner, there's still plenty of time to get some practice in before the big day on September 16."
More than 4,500 people took part in last year's race. As well as the main 10k race, there were also 1k, 3k and 5k junior fun runs, along with a 10k wheelchair race and a 100-metre dash for mascots.
Electronic time recording means that competitors will find out quickly and easily whether their efforts were a personal best on a running-friendly course with some of the finest views anywhere in the country.
Junior race entries are now open with 1k races for those aged 11 years and under, 3k for ages 9-14 and 5k for ages15-21. Early bird entry is £6.50 but hurry to enter as the price will increase on 1 July.
Entries for the main race opened just after last year's event finished and the early-bird entry fee is £22 for affiliated runners and £24 for the non-affiliated. The early-bird offer for the main race ends on June 11.
Whether it's the junior races or the main 10k you're interested in, the deadline for entries is August 31, or when maximum capacity is reached if sooner – maximum capacity has been reached prior to the closing date in recent years so enter early to avoid disappointment.

I am grateful to have recieved an email from my friend telling me about this website. The goal and vision of the site to create a new global network featuring uplifting and positive media content is something I am in total resonance with since I am a music/media producer and recording artist in the SF Bay area, who creates CD 's and DVD's with a spiritual/metaphysical focus designed to inspire and elevate consciousness in the world.
I've also been a huge fan of Carlos Santana since the first album, and he has been one of my top two lifelong influences as a guitarist (along with Jimi Hendrix), as well as being deeply inspired by his work as a spiritual warrior and instrument of peace. It is wonderful to see a site like this emerging at such an important time in our planetary evolution, and I'm happy to be a part of it.
For more samples of my music and DVD's, please visit:
WWW.MYSPACE.COM/MICHAELDIAMONDMUSIC
I've added two songs here from my latest CD "INDIGO MOON" - the first and last songs on the album. Both songs feature special guest, Jefferson Starship keyboardist Pete Sears, who has also played with Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, and many others (track 1 - electric piano, track 11 - organ) .
Another special guest on the CD is new age music pioneer, Steven Halpern on three songs.
As a side note, people are generally surprised to learn that the "flute" on "Dreams In Motion" was actually played on my guitar-synthesizer. Enjoy!
I've also added 4 minute trailers of DVD's entitled "SACRED VISIONARY ART", and "ILLUMINATION 2" on which I served as associate producer and contributed music for the soundtracks.
My current CD releases:
- ATLANTIS RISING- Hailed by cdbaby.com as "one of the best new releases of the year, this CD features Michael's special guest, Steven Halpern, on dreamy atmospheric synthesizer and guitar compositions with occasional rhythmic elements that encompass deep sea to deep space.
INDIGO MOON - the follow-up to Atlantis Rising continues his signature soundscapes, but with a bit more emphasis on the guitar and the groove. With a touch of jazz, rock, and world music, this CD features special guest appearances by Steven Halpern, and Jefferson Starship keyboardist, Pete Sears.
FLIGHTS OF FANTASY - In addition to Michael playing guitar and synths, the album features the exquisite flute melodies of Deborah Martin, and the piano & keyboard wizardry of Preston Scott. Along with bass, drums, and percussion, the music ranges from languid and drifting to more groove-fueled flights.
CHROMA ZONE - A collection of ethereal synthesizer soundscapes - "meditative and expansive music painted in colors of sound." "Chroma Zone" has been featured on "Hearts Of Space" as well as "Echoes", a nationally-syndicated radio program, where it has recieved regular airplay.
DRIFTING DEEPER - The musical soundtrack Michael composed and produced for a clinically-based sleep program CD, which provides a subtle sonic tapestry of synthesizers and ocean waves to facilitate sleep or deep relaxation.

A review of Chris Anderson's "Makers" for the April issue of Blueprint magazine. Pleased to have used the phrase "Star Trek meets Mumford & Sons" in it, and indeed to have got it finished. Thanks to Shumi Bose for asking me to do it, and for nagging me to complete before the deadline!
On the surface, you'll experience a distinct lack of surprise reading Makers, if – like me – you're familiar with Chris Anderson's previous output.
I expected plenty of techno-utopian, libertarian, anarcho-capitalist "Californian Ideology", which there is in spades – but perhaps not his family history in the garden sprinkler industry, Marx, or 1980s US punk-rock references.
The central thesis of Makers blends these around innovations in the manufacture of physical goods, specifically low cost 3d printing and robotics, and the ongoing disruptive forces of the internet and open-source software – to convince us that we are entering the era of 'The Long-Tail of Things". Herein, niche needs can be met by niche manufacturing eating into the dominance of the mass-manufacture models of the industrial age. Anderson's last-but-one book "The Long Tail" argued this for culture and media, of course.
In this near-future, the 1980s Punk DIY ethic transmutes into a kind of on-demand artisanal yuppie boutique-consumerism, a cornucopia of high-margin corner-cases.
Star Trek meets Mumford & Sons.
Which begs the question – in the future, who does the boring stuff?
While 3d-printing is the subject of a lot of hype and hope, the steady march of robotics into small and medium enterprises from their beach-head in mass manufacturing is perhaps the most profound trend of our times covered in Makers. It's one of the enablers, as well as the subject of Anderson's business, but it's not something that is critiqued in much depth by him. He does make strong points about the future of the American middle-class (our working classes) but for a more thorough look at this, I'd recommend "Race against the machine" by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee.
Anderson finishes with a short speculation on the open-source future of biology itself. With synthetic biological components being hacked on inside the canonical garages that created the computer industry, it promises to be a disruptive movement worth a book of it's own. The analysis in Makers seems a little tacked-on, but it may prompt the curious to investigate further.
Ultimately however, "Makers" suffers, like most business books, of being a something that would made a great, insightful magazine article, but drags as a full book – and feels anachronistic in contrast to the digital communities, blogs and other online resources devoted to its subject matter.
Part invigorating, part infuriating, "Makers" is squarely aimed at airport bizbook crowd rather than designers or makers – although conversely designers and makers could learn from the business-y bits. It's message is perhaps most urgent though for the UK's education policy makers – hopefully leading them to question their victorian obsession with testing the three R's, and instead shaping an education system centred around design, play, flexibility, invention, creativity and ingenuity – skills that Anderson's vision of the near-future demands.
Set phasers to dreadful Shakespearian pun! Down and out in the Magic Kingdom has hit both the bookshelves and The Commons in the USA [it's not out in the UK till February, apparently], and it's a corker.
With Cory's approach to publishing, he might show other authors of content how it's possible to stack up both the dollars and the Whuffie.
Warren Ellis reviews one of the most beautiful considerations of human creativity I've come across: Snakes & Ladders by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell.
It's a wonderfully sensitive illustrated adaptation of a talk Moore gave at the Conway Hall, Red Lion Square (which I walk through on the way to work every morning) – using the square's history, it's inhabitants and their encounters with the muse as a basis for the investigation of dna, magic and the creative urge.
There's a PDF preview [c. 500k] to give a flavour.
Going to see Pinker debate "Social Nature vs Cultural Nuture" with Ian McEwan tomorrow evening. Should be a blast – I'll try and get some notes up here.

It's a Feminism type world and we're just living in it
Karla Jimenez and Salonda Johnson
Arleth Oliden and Dymenique Deans
Filed under Opinion, Showcase, Video
Feminism and Feminist aren't just words that you heard in a Beyoncé song but it is a movement that has been around for decades and more to come.
The definition of the word is; the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.
Despite that feminism being around for years, many ask if the movement truly does happen around the world and if there is different aspects of the movement. According to Areo Magazine , it does, especially within British/Muslim areas. Around 9% of British women are feminist. 29% of women are feminist regarding it as ethically neutral, and 30% is mostly negative. In a 2009 survey, 0% of British Muslims said homosexuality was morally acceptable, and in 2016, 52% said it should be illegal, compared to 5% of the general population. The same survey found that 39% of British Muslims felt that wives should always obey their husbands, compared to 5% of the general population.
As for the different types of feminism, there is 3: Intersectional, Radical, and Liberal feminism.
Intersectional Feminism is a term coined in 1989 by civil rights advocate and scholar, Kimberé Williams Crenshaw to describe overlapping or intersecting social identities and related systems of oppression, domination, or discrimination. Yet the word has been getting more recognition due to the social media and recent events of the such Women's March.
English teacher Koren Caban had a lot to say about Intersectional Feminism, " I think feminism should be intersectional. What I mean by that is that many women get boxed into thinking only about how certain gender disparities affect women, identity themselves similarly. I care about women's issues affects women who are outside of my race who have a different religion than I do, who have a different sexual orientation than I do, and women whose personal and political beliefs are different than mine."
Radical Feminism is a perspective within feminism that calls for a radical reordering of society in which make supremacy is eliminated in all social and economics contexts. This term also goes by, 'White Feminism.
Priscilla Feliz, an AVID tutor had this to say, "I don't like [ Radical Feminism] and I don't agree with it because women are all equal regardless of color.''
Lastly, the idea of Liberal Feminism is an individualistic form of feminist theory, which focuses on women's ability to maintain their equality through their own actions and choices.
Bill Richie said "I don't know the difference between liberal radical feminism, although I suspect the latter is a more extreme version of the forever. I believe this became more popular during the 60's when there was a backlash against traditional values and the status quo. I believe the extremes of this is doing more harm than good…. men are partily to blame for this because we have not valued and respected women for who they are."
Even though there has been some positive changes in the Feminism movement, there is so much more that has to be done. With the different types of the idea, we must understand that the concept is not only beneficial for women but men in this society as well. It is time that we understand that we are not separate but equal human beings.
