Have you noticed that our need for food has been contributing for the degradation of the environment and that we need new solutions if our population continues to grow. This degradation comes from pesticides, fertilizers or from overfishing.

Against this backdrop there are a growing amount of people working to refine and popularize a technique that could slash those environmental costs for either fish or vegetable products. The technique is called aquaponics and it integrates fish and hydroponic agriculture in a sort of closed, symbiotic loop. The fish serve as fertilizer factories and the plants as water purifiers. With this idea we maximize production while minimizing environmental costs.

Probably this will be the future of food production of the future which already is in course at Cabbage Hill Farm in Mount Kisco, N.Y.

Those kinds of self sustained techniques may also play an important role in the colonization of infertile planets in the long future but meanwhile we can only hope that this is a way for us to stop the degradation of our planet ecosystems.

The findings were published on Thursday in the journal science and described clusters of towns and smaller villages connected by complex road networks and housing society doomed by the arrival of Europeans five centuries ago because of the diseases brought by them into the new world.

The settlement now overgrown by the forest consisted of walled towns and smaller villages organized around a central plaza.

The anthropologist Mike Heckenberger from the University of Florida said in a statement: “These are not cities, but this is urbanism, built around towns,”.

“If we look at your average medieval town or your average Greek polis, most are about the scale of those we find in this part of the Amazon. Only the ones we find are much more complicated in terms of their planning,” Heckenberger added.

It took more than a decade for the researchers to map the lost communities with the help of the available satellite images.

Researchers are finding more and more that the Americas were home to many prosperous and impressive societies and large cities.

These findings come to prove that the virgin tropical forests in north-central Brazil aren’t in fact that virgin but heavily affected by past human activity.

These finding also come to prove that Americas societies weren’t that undeveloped at all.

One of the most amazing things that we now easily do is to get into space and that’s why I selected this video of the latest launch of a shuttle.

This one is going to our space station to deliver a Japanese lab.

Just beautiful to see where we can reach when we put our efforts into somethig.

Good luck to the international space station and to all future the space trips.

Enjoy the video

Though the stones were only erected in 2500 B.C. there are evidences of burials since 3000 B.C.

It seems like the local was used to only bury elements of one family being the first one at 3000 B.C. and then as the family gown up more and more bodies were then buried afterwards.

At the time bodies used to be cremated and methods of rating how old were those cremated bones just came to the access of researchers allowing the recent dating of the remains found at Stonehenge.

British archaeologists say it probably was a cemetery for the ruling dynasty responsible for erecting Stonehenge.

The answer to why researchers found up to 240 people remains is because Stonehenge staged as burial place for several generations of the same single elite family. The clue comes from the small number of burials in the earliest period and the larger numbers in the later centuries, as offspring would have multiplied said Andrew Chamberlain, Sheffield archaeologist.

The police after been alerted by a woman found the 23-year-old mother and the 26-year-old-father using the cell phone number that was listed in the advertisement.

The couple was arrested and the baby taken to social care.

The couple was saying it was a hoax which is hard to believe when they advertised that the baby was very cute, unexpected and that its parents, who could not afford to care for it, wanted to give it a good home.

Like if we haven’t learned enough with the past from playing God men still wants to do it in the search of high profits.

Seems like we haven’t learned enough from our previous experience from playing God. Now we play with food modifying its genetic structure in order to obtain higher profits. Just now we start detecting problems like unstable proliferation of some crops and destruction of the natural genetic structure of the old ones through cross polinization. Also, GM crops can result in people and animals developing resistance to certain types of antibiotics which are used to treat diseases.

Worlds leaders are starting to take more attention into the matter because of thousands of complains and petitions made by Greenpeace supporters and negative observations from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Institute Pasteur and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Lately the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has had a remarkable action when it retracted the green light for a new type of GM potato and two types of GM maize to be grown. Though it was a good step in denying the previous given green light to the new GM crops of potato and maize how do we know that EFSA didn’t made the same mistake before and we are producing crops that harm the human being and the environment? The European commission has ordered a second investigation on these crops but shouldn’t a second investigation be done to all GM crops since EFSA got it wrong this time?

These crops may deliver health problems that might only be noticeable a few generations after, isn’t this a cause for concern too?

Another fact is that most probably the GM crops that produce their own insecticides and other GM crops may have a negative impact on the environment and because of that the EFSA should have rejected the crops right away since we know so little about the future problems that it may bring us.

The volcano seems to be in its critical phase and an abrupt descent of the material he has spewed may cover vast areas with deadly hot gas, ash and molten rock.

Since eight days ago that the volcano has been expelling the material that has accumulated in the atmosphere giving us this amazing photo of how far can the natural forces go.

Microsoft is expected to launch this semester a new service called WorldWideTelescope which will allow Windows users to se 1,2 million galaxies and in a nearby future more than 2 billion.

In the other end we have Google that has already launched this August the service Sky which is similar to WorldWideTelescope but allows users to access the images directly from the internet without the need for any special program.

Microsoft has stated that the program is dedicated to Jim Gray, Microsoft Research member, who has deceased while sailing near San Francisco. Microsoft also says that the WorldWideTelescope will be free for educational and astronomic communities in the hope of inspiring people to explore and understand The Universe as they never did before.

Google Sky was borne almost like a hobby from the 20 per cent available time that Google give his workers to invest in self ideas like Gmail for example while the WorldWideTelescope has been developed by the leading engineers from Microsoft.

Both Google Sky and WorldWideTelescope will allow comments and say that a future cooperation might be possible.

My opinion is that both services will have a big success and add great value to the internet allowing users to expand their knowledge of space.
