Caustics:
when did it happen

Yesterday

Two young boys sit in a boat after being rescued by aid workers of Spanish NGO Proactiva Open Arms in the Mediterranean Sea, about 15 miles north of Sabratha, Libya on Tuesday, July 25, 2017.

Aid workers carry the dead bodies of migrants out of the boat on an orange stretcher as other corpses pile up ready to be carted away.

Dozens of migrants wearing bright orange buoyancy aids float in the sea around 15 miles off the coast of Sabratha, Libya.


Desperate African migrants, some wearing life jackets and others just with sports shirts on their top halves, hold out their arms begging to be pulled from the sinking dinghy.


An African migrant with fear in his eyes tries to reach a rescue boat from theSpanish NGO Proactiva Open Arms, after being located sailing out of controlon a punctured rubber boat in the Mediterranean Sea.

The pain is etched upon this mother's face after being rescued along with 167 others trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea.



Italy's coastguard said more than 8,000 migrants had been rescued off the coast of Libya in a 48-hour period last month.

Most were young people from Cameroon, Sudan, Mali and Senegal, said Libyan navy spokesman General Ayoub Qassem, and were found crammed aboard a makeshift rubber dinghy.

Migrants intercepted or rescued by Libya's coastguard are usually held in detention centres until they are sent home.

But many become prey to extortion and abuse at the hands of human traffickers, who have exploited years of chaos in Libya to boost their lucrative but deadly trade.

More than 90,000 migrants have landed on Italy's shores since January, a 14-percent rise on the same period last year.







Sub-Saharan migrants sit on the deck of a rescue boat after being dragged from the water by Spanish charity workers.

Aid workers of Proactiva Open Arms recover dead bodies of Sub-Saharan migrants inside a rubber boat in the Mediterranean Sea.

More than 120 migrants were rescued Tuesday from the Mediterranean Sea while 13 more including pregnant women and children died in a crammed rubber raft, according to a Spanish rescue group.

Horrifying photographs showing pregnant women and children among dead migrants found in a rubber dinghy has shone a light on the grim reality of the desperate scramble to cross the Mediterranean into Europe.

A Spanish charity found 167 migrants alive and 13 dead in yet another rescue operation involving rubber boats crossing the deadly stretch of sea.

More than 2,200 migrants have died trying to reach Europe across the Mediterranean so far this year according to the International Organization for Migration meaning on average 10 people a day die making the journey.

The latest grim salvation mission was 15 miles off the coast of Sabratha in Libya and the migrants on board were said to be sub-Saharan and the failed journey resulted in more than a dozen deaths.

As some migrants' corpses lie naked in the middle of the dinghy, others can be seen in the pictures sitting around in life-jackets waiting to be rescued.

The European Union has extended the mandate of its naval operation targeting migrant smuggling in the Mediterranean until the end of 2018 and tasked it with monitoring illegal oil trafficking from Libya.

Operation Sophia, which has naval ships and aircraft monitoring the Mediterranean, aims to disrupt smuggling networks and train Libya's coastguard as a way of stemming the flow of desperate migrants attempting the risky crossing from Libya to Italy in unseaworthy boats.

Lab-Grown Donor Organs



Scientists across the world have been trying to develop new technology to tackle the shortage of donor organs.

A Japanese team looking into this very issue became the first to “grow” a functioning human liver from stem cells in 2013, but we are a long way from the first stem cell liver transplant.

There are also still a lot of problems that need resolving before synthetic organs will become the norm.

In addition to fixing the technical problems of rejection and infection, scientists will also have to overcome ethical objections to the use of stem cells, and the squeamishness that some people will feel at the idea of using livers, heart and kidneys that have been created in a laboratory.

Three Parent Embryos




The scientific breakthrough which allows for the creation of three parent embryos was made in 2013, and the first child of three parents was born in the US in 2016, after his parents underwent the treatment in Mexico.

Three parent embryos can be used to help women who want to become pregnant, but who are worried about passing on genetic conditions to their children.

Healthy mitochondrial cells from a donor are used to try and prevent genetic conditions from being passed on, while keeping the genetic information from both parents that would make the child theirs.

The concerns here are ethical, as the idea of a child with three biological parents makes many people uncomfortable.

There are also some doubts about the efficacy of this treatment, and no-one really knows what the long-term effectsmay be on children born as a result of this therapy.

3D printers




3D printers have been one of the most intriguing inventions of recent times, and can be used to “print” everything from machine parts to working guns.

In 2017, a Spanish university went a step further and created a 3D bioprinter than can print working human skin, complete with epidermis, dermis and collagen, which replicates the elasticity of real skin.

Although this has the potential to have some very positive uses, such as in skin transplants or in cosmetic testing in place of animals, the idea of human parts being mechanically created by machines will seem disturbing to many people.

Love portion.




Love can be magical and difficult to understand.

It can also cause a lot of pain.

Nevertheless, the scientific community is studying ways to brew love potions, a potentially disturbing and shocking development.

The neuropeptide oxytocin is being studied to examine its ability to help with relationships.

Some scientists are skeptical that we can truly create love potions.

But if researchers were able to successfully use oxytocin or other substances as love potions, the ethical implications would be profound.

These drugs would probably be used to support rather than form love, but the idea of trying to recreate something as complex as love can be seen as playing God.

Additionally, forcing someone to fall in love with you, if that could happen, would be highly unethical.

It would violate a person’s autonomy, and the love potion may be considered a date-rape drug.

Furthermore, we may just be putting a Band–Aid on our problems by becoming dependent on love drugs to cure heartbreak and fix relationships.

It may be wiser and certainly better to deal with love the old-fashioned way.




If it real, gonna break homes chai.

Secretaries love portioning their male bosses.

Drivers, gatemen vs oga's wives.

Head Transplant.



The idea of head transplants sounds far-fetched.

After all, beheading is a form of execution.

However, Sergio Canavero has claimed to successfully repair the cut spinal cords of mice.

Although many people are skeptical, his group is hoping to test their technique on dogs next.

There are many ethical issues surrounding this idea.

First, like many donated organs, the brain might be rejected and the patient would have to take drugs to try to prevent this after an incredibly dangerous procedure.

These immunosuppressant drugs have side effects including osteoporosis, weakened muscles, and high blood sugar.

Additionally, this leads to numerous questions about identity.

Having completely new bodies could be traumatic for the patients and lead to increased aversion to organ donations for potential donors.

De-extinction.




De-extinction is what it sounds like the resurrection of extinct species.

This may sound intriguing, but it could lead to a host of issues as it did in Jurassic Park.

In 2003, the first extinct animal, the Pyrenean ibex, was born, only to die and cause the subspecies a second extinction.

Less than two decades later, scientists are hoping to bring back woolly mammoths.

First, the researchers must sequence mammoth DNA.

They intend to use Asian elephants as surrogate mothers.

If this were to work out, mammoths might be seen at zoos but probably not in the wild.

De-extinction raises the ethical problem of bringing an extinct species into a completely transformed world that they might not be able to tolerate or survive in.

Furthermore, the possibility of bringing back a species that may never live again in the wild seems like a waste of resources.

The money to fund these projects might be better used to help protect other species from extinction instead of playing God.

The idea of bringing back species may be exciting, but it also raises questions on what to do if Neanderthals were brought back.

In the future, it may be possible to use CRISPR to produce Neanderthals by using us or chimps as surrogate mothers.

This would probably cause a lot of suffering as many cloned individuals are prone to health problems and often die young.

Additionally, life likely would be hard as a modern-day Neanderthal.

Teasing and bullying would likely occur due to their differing build and facial features, possibly greater physical strength, and perhaps differing intelligence levels.

That is, if they are considered humans and not forced to be our slaves or subordinates in society.




With this technology, maybe dead families can be brought back.

Artificial Wombs.




Artificial wombs are common in the science fiction genre, and scientists are closer than ever to developing one in the real world.

They have already created an artificial womb that helped premature lambs develop normally.

It resembled a large, clear plastic bag with wires.

The goal of the research is to improve the survival rate and quality of life of premature babies, many of whom suffer from cerebral palsy and respiratory complications.

If humans can be produced entirely without wombs, then they might replace natural births.

Many women might prefer birth outside their body for health and vanity reasons.

The technology could also be used for sterile women and gay couples.

This technology does, however, pose the threat of leading to eugenics and population control if women were sterilized, leaving those with access to artificial wombs as the only ones able to procreate.

The possibility of artificial wombs is frightening.

Mind-Controlled Rats.





Researchers at the State University of New York have found a way to control rats remotely.

Scientists claim that the animals could be beneficial to us by doing dangerous and difficult jobs.

Rats make good candidates for this experiment because of their small size and range of physical capabilities.

The technology is still in its early stages and can only detect signals up to 460 meters (1,500 ft) away.

Even more disturbing is the fact that a creature can be controlled by a computer.

The researchers controlled the rats by using computers to send electrical signals through the animals’ brains as a way of giving orders to the rats.

If this experiment becomes a stepping-stone for controlling the minds of other animals and quite possibly humans then we all face the threat of having our autonomy taken away by tyrannical leaders and corrupt governments.

This technology could help to create the perfect obedient slaves or citizens.

They would not even desire to escape or rebel and would be duped into doing whatever their masters desire all to get a euphoric electric shock.

New scientific discoveries are made every day.

From medical breakthroughs to the discovery of new species, cures or remedies here on earth and new planets in our solar system, all these discoveries contribute towards advancing our understanding of the world and the universe we live in.

Sailors, family members and distinguished visitors listen as US President Donald Trump speaks during the commissioning ceremony.

Within minutes, the captain was informed that 'the ship is manned and ready and reports for duty to the fleet'

The Ford was built at Newport News Shipbuilding, the giant Navy contractor in Virginia.

Trump tweeted before departing Saturday for the ceremony that the Ford is the largest aircraft carrier in the world.

President Trump arrived aboard Marine One to the commissioning ceremony.

Trump then met with the USS Gerald R Ford's Captain Rick McCormack

The USS Ford is named after the country's 38th president, who rose to the rank of lieutenant commander in the Navy during World War II




USS GERALD R. FORD


The USS Gerald R. Ford is a state of the art naval aircraft carrier successfullycommissioned on July 22, 2017 and is expected to take on its first mission in 2020.


*.It is 1,100 feet long, the length of three football fields

*.It is one of three naval carriers with the same design commissioned by the US Navy, including the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN 79), and the future USS Enterprise (CVN 80) costing approximately $42 billion total

*.It's specialized electromagnetic systems will reportedly allow planes to take off and land more quickly

*.It will carry a crew of 2,600 sailors

*.It has 250 per cent more electrical capacity than previous models

*.It will be able to launch 33 per cent more aircraft

*. It can carry more than 75 aircrafts.

*. It can go 30knots(56km/hr, 35miles per hour)

President Donald Trump helped commission the USS Gerald R. Ford on Saturday and declared that the most advanced aircraft carrier to join the Navy will cause America's enemies to 'shake with fear' whenever they see its form cutting across the horizon.

'I hereby place United States Ship Gerald R. Ford in commission,' Trump said after delivering a speech in which he praised the U.S. military and the American labor that went into building the 100,000 ton, $12.9 billion warship.

The most advanced aircraft carrier in the history of this world' that can operate for 20 YEARS without refueling

'May God bless and guide this warship and all who shall sail in her,' Trump said.



President Donald Trump stands for the colors as he arrives during the commissioning ceremony of the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford.





Daughter of former President Gerald Ford, Susan Ford-Bales, gives the command for the ship to come alive aboard the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford during the commissioning.
