European Union freezes approval of GM crops to 2014

"The European Commission has decided to freeze the approval process for genetically modified food crops through the end of its mandate next year while it works towards an agreement with EU member states.

Eight countries - Austria, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Luxembourg and Poland - have adopted provisions that allow them to block the cultivation of GM crops on their territory.

In 14 years, the EU has approved the cultivation of just two types of genetically altered food crops for humans, the Amflora potato developed by German group BASF and MON810 maize developed by global seeds giant Monsanto.

The Amflora potato was a commercial flop, while the renewal of the authorisation of MON810 has been dragging along since 2007."

What's up USA?  Still mulling over labeling?

"It sounds like an oxymoron, but come the fall of 2013, San Antonio's Bexar County is going to be home to the BiblioTech, the country's first book-less public library. Of course, there will be books -- just e-books, not physical books."

"Instead of aisles and aisles of books there will be aisles and aisles of computers and gadgets. At the start, it will have 100 e-readers available for circulation and to take out, and then 50 e-readers for children, 50 computer stations, 25 laptops and 25 tablets on site.

"We all know the world is changing. I am an avid book reader. I read hardcover books, I have a collection of 1,000 first editions. Books are important to me," Wolff told ABC News. "But the world is changing and this is the best, most effective way to bring services to our community."

Hold the diet soda? Sweetened drinks linked to depression, coffee tied to lower risk

Correlational study, but still interesting.

New research suggests that drinking sweetened beverages, especially diet drinks, is associated with an increased risk of depression in adults while drinking coffee was tied to a slightly lower risk. The study was released today and will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 65th Annual Meeting in San Diego, March 16 to 23, 2013.

_People who drank more than four cans or cups per day of soda were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than those who drank no soda. Those who drank four cans of fruit punch per day were about 38 percent more likely to develop depression than those who did not drink sweetened drinks.

People who drank four cups of coffee per day were about 10 percent less likely to develop depression than those who drank no coffee. The risk appeared to be greater for people who drank diet than regular soda, diet than regular fruit punches and for diet than regular iced tea.

Almost half (30 - 50%) of the world's food thrown away, report finds

Staggering if this is the case.

As much as half of all the food produced in the world – equivalent to 2bn tonnes – ends up as waste every year, engineers warned in a report published on Thursday.

The UK's Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) blames the "staggering" new figures in its analysis on unnecessarily strict sell-by dates, buy-one-get-one free and Western consumer demand for cosmetically perfect food, along with "poor engineering and agricultural practices", inadequate infrastructure and poor storage facilities.

In the face of United Nations predictions that there could be about an extra 3 billion people to feed by the end of the century and growing pressure on the resources needed to produce food, including land, water and energy, the IMechE is calling for urgent action to tackle this waste.

Robotics: a very short introduction

Robotics: a very short introduction

A robotic book by my supervisor. Very actual! It shows most of the robots that are being developed at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), where I study.

A nice reading for who wants to keep updated in the field, also serving as an introduction for beginners as the title mentions of course. ;)

Robotics is a key technology in the modern world. Robots are a well-established part of manufacturing and warehouse automation, assembling cars or washing machines, and, for example, moving goods to and from storage racks for Internet mail order. More recently robots have taken their first steps into homes and hospitals, and seen spectacular success in planetary exploration. Yet, despite these successes, robots have failed to live up to the predictions of the 1950s and 60s, when it was widely thought - by scientists and engineers as well as the public - that by turn of the 21st century we would have intelligent robots as butlers, companions, or co-workers. This Very Short Introduction explains how it is that robotics can be both a success story and a disappointment, how robots can be both ordinary and remarkable, and looks at their important developments in science and their applications to everyday life.

"With artificial intelligence now coming on in leaps and bounds, robots promise another such revolution.

Originally shared by Singularity 2045

"With artificial intelligence now coming on in leaps and bounds, robots promise another such revolution. As with all the previous ones, this can be seen both positively and negatively. By the way, the most stimulating read on all this is by Mr Robotics himself, Marshall Brain, whose Robotics Nation you can read by clicking here."

"Virtually all the big leap forwards in labour productivity have come from labour saving machinery, which in turn has created time for humans to do things other than simply striving to keep body and soul together. Once you have devised something that can do previously menial tasks semi-automatically, you can apply your energies to some other, possibly more rewarding form of activity."

Exactly!

Exactly! Since I got my Note 10.1 end of last year I don't use notebooks, diaries, agendas nor do I print .pdfs anymore =)

It feels so clean and organized not having loads of paper on your desk and always being able to access all of your notes and files everywhere.. ;)

Give it a try!

I'm also not buying printed books anymore, we already carry lots of things with us in our homes, imagine the space and trees you would save if all of your books were digital.. I can see a much more spacious house!

Let's go paperless!

Go paperless in 2013

It’s a new year, which means new resolutions. If you’re up for saving time, money and trees, going paperless might be a good goal for you in 2013. 

Google Drive is part of the Paperless Coalition, a group of organizations and products that help you live completely in a paper-free world. Drive makes it easy to keep all your stuff in the cloud and access it anywhere -- so you don’t have to carry around paper copies wherever you go. And if you use paper to fax documents, print receipts, track expense reports or jot notes -- the Paperless Coalition has apps to help with that, too. 

Take the pledge at www.Paperless2013.org and invite others to do the same. Happy New Year!
