Army Insect Robots (Coming Soon)
2008-05-09 07:40:00 Source: The Register Global military contractor BAE Systems has announced that it will lead a large alliance of American academics in building an army of miniature robots to aid the US military. The effort, known as Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST), will receive $38m of US Army funding. ?Robotic platforms extend the warfighter's senses and reach, providing operational capabilities that would otherwise be costly, impossible, or deadly to achieve,? said Dr. Joseph Mait, MAST supremo at the US Army Research Lab. The horde of robots scraped the pork barrel clean The idea is that a variety of crawling or flying mini-droids will be produced, able to go into situations where human troops might fear to tread - caves, bunkers, mountains, hostile urban areas etc. The robo-bug army would then spy out targets and intel for human commanders to act upon. Under MAST various enabling technologies will be advanced: "small-scale aeromechanics and ambulation; propulsio...

BBC Look On Biometric Technology

Plagiarism, rhetoric, slavery
2008-03-31 02:38:00 I found out that two days are enough to take a rest from posting. I did not write anything during the last two days, I took a vacation from thinking what to write. Actually, an excuse for me to do some other things. During the weekend I checked the papers of my students, a thing that most teachers hate to do. Some students are really smart and brilliant enough but there are also those who pretended to be so. Some did their papers hardly and honestly, but there are also those who plagiarised their papers. I hate plagiarism, but students simply plagiarise. So I can't do anything except giving 'F' grade to plagiarists.Anyway, let me go back to my sanity. Last Saturday I joined a theology discussion which is popularly called "Bible study" with my regular suport group at Asian Theological Seminary. This group began in November 2006 with a handful of jaded Christians and non Christians alike (Evangelical, Catholic, Agnostic, and Atheist) from different fields of interest (film, law, th...

These should be separate from and dependent ...

The abolition of slavery
2008-01-31 18:52:00 Tomorrow, the 1st of February, we celebrate the 173rd anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Mauritius. This day means a lot to me; it is a public holiday. Well, on the other hand it's great that we are commemorating the abolition of slavery, a slavery that existed more than 200 years ago. This day could serve as a reminder of the fact that slavery was a reality somewhere in our country.But what about today? 200 years later... Slavery still exists. It exists in the form of dependencies. Those self-induced slaveries of which we cannot get rid. Some are addicted to nicotine, drugs, sex, the internet, their blogs, cleaning, hurting others... forms of addictions are unlimited yet they have one thing in common, they force us to forego a part of us, sometimes essential parts of us. Then one day you realise you have not fulfilled your dreams, you have not taken care of your kids, you have not learnt how to bake a cake...

Talk about American slavery? In an election year?!?
2008-01-23 17:42:00 Columbia University history professor Eric Foner reminds us of a "significant milestone" in American history that has gone "strangely unnoticed": the 200th anniversary of January 1, 1808, when the importation of slaves into the United States was prohibited. Mr. Foner points out some inconvenient truths that could explain the quiet: This earliest date for banning the import of slaves was actually written into the Constitution as one of the compromises achieved in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The prohibition didn't stop the southern states from illegally importing slaves from South America. The actual official end of slavery itself didn't come until an amazing 60 years later. But the real 800-pound gorilla in the room that Mr. Foner fails to mention is the upcoming election: In a presidential election year, not even the Democratic Party wants to bring up the subject of slavery in America. After all, how are the Dems supposed to woo Southern vot...

What is Connection between Climate Change and Slavery?
2008-01-18 17:41:00 A paper caught my eye this week, thanks to its sheer provocativeness.Marc Davidson of the philosophy department at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands has decided to compare the rhetoric used by US climate "deniers" to that of early 19th century congressional debates on the abolition of slavery.Davidson claims that historical hindsight shows how preposterous the claims made in favour of slavery were. He suggests they bear striking resemblance to claims made against taking any action on climate change by contemporary members of Congress.The implication is that some years down the line, in a century or two perhaps, the comments of climate "deniers" will seem just as shocking as those of the slave owners of the 1800s.

History of Vatican Vice : Slavery
2008-01-15 21:32:00 At various stages in its history the Roman Catholic Church has actively endorsed the subjugation and enslavement of conquered peoples.The Lateran Council of 1179 imposed slavery on any who helped the Saracens (Muslims). The legitimization of slavery was written into the Corpus luris Canonici, and so became a part of the official law of the Church.Nicholas V empowered Alfonso V of Portugal to "reduce any Muslims, pagans and unbelievers" to a state of perpetual slavery. The papal bull Dum Diversas gave legitimacy to the enterprises of the Portuguese slaving crews that worked the coasts of West Africa.Nicholas V also wrote the infamous bull, Romanus Pontifex (January 5, 1455). It granted Catholic nations dominion over newly discovered lands. It also sanctified the seizure of lands and the enslavement of peoples in Africa and the New World.Here is a key excerpt from the document: “We weighing all and singular the premises with due meditation, and noting that since we had formerly by ...

An American Warning - Slavery up for apology in New Jersey
2008-01-03 16:16:00 This morning (as always) I found myself reading the news. And then I came across another liberal plot to steal more votes and a complete waist of taxpayer dollars. People like this makes me sick. Ok, so New Jersey could very well become the first Northern state to apologize for slavery under a measure due for a legislative committee hearing this week. First of all? this is the second time that I?ve had to sit back and read about American tax dollars drudging up the past. Secondly? it?s not a heart felt apology and the libs are just trying to get more votes from the black community. "This is not too much to ask of the state of New Jersey," said Assemblyman William Payne, sponsor of the proposal and a Democrat. "All that is being requested of New Jersey is to say three simple words: 'We are sorry.'" My question is sorry for what exactly. Sorry New Jersey helped fight for the freedom of slaves? or that they were simply the last to ratify the slavery laws? What he should have said...
