DRONEon episode 5...
I went for a few months without flying drones. The model I purchased a few years ago, uses GPS guidance with the ability to shoot high quality 4K video. My intent was to study and pass the FAA Part 107 test and be certified to fly drones commercially... as in making money legally doing aerial photography. While it's on my list, other things keep getting in the way!
Three weeks ago, I connected with friends who fly for sport in a huge public park with a section off to one side for us to enjoy model aircraft. I did 10 minutes of flying but for some unknown reason, the video I recorded had a green tint. I suspect there could be some corrosion on the connector to the camera that needs attention.
Checking YouTube to see if anyone else had the same trouble, I came across a video with a drone that uses a ducted fan design instead of the conventional propellers.
While ducted fan technology isn't new to airplanes or drones, the inventor believes his design and shape of the propulsion tubes is unique. Therefore, he has applied for a patent.
His idea came about for safety as drones can be dangerous if they strike someone. The development of large scale quadcopters (drones) used to carry people also shares the same drawback. Some of the prototype designs I've seen all have blades in locations that could be strike someone nearing the airship.

I find it odd that during the campaigns , Trump was so bombastic voice wise, now he whines , he mumbles, and he sounds like "wont you pity me because the news and Democrats are taking advantage of poor little me".

WUHAN AND COVID
According to some investigators on the pandemic, work at the Wuhan laboratory in China involved the genetic manipulation of a SARS virus at the request of the military, in order for it to be used as a bio weapon. It is also believed that a vaccine was being developed to possibly immunise the Chinese population against the produced virus. The COVID virus was not found naturally, but was completely new, which supports the possibility that it was deliberately produced and a leak resulted due to inadequate precautions. Staff wore a mask and white coat only in the lab.
This is just speculation, but many people still believe the virus was due to a leak.

All hail Canada - we have a new kingdom of life - make way for the Hemimastigotes
Apparently these very early forms of life, are eukaryotes.
This means that unlike bacteria, they have complex cells that contain specialized organelles.
However, hemimastigotes lack mitochondria.
For a fuller story and electron microscopic images of the beasts go to the following link;

Hemimastigotes are more different from all other living things than animals are from fungi

Canadian researchers have discovered a new kind of organism that's so different from other living things that it doesn't fit into the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom, or any other kingdom used to classify known organisms.
Two species of the microscopic organisms, called hemimastigotes, were found in dirt collected on a whim during a hike in Nova Scotia by Dalhousie University graduate student Yana Eglit.
A genetic analysis shows they're more different from other organisms than animals and fungi (which are in different kingdoms) are from each other, representing a completely new part of the tree of life, Eglit and her colleagues report this week in the journal Nature.
"They represent a major branch… that we didn't know we were missing," said Dalhousie biology professor Alastair Simpson, Eglit's supervisor and co-author of the new study.
"There's nothing we know that's closely related to them."
In fact, he estimates you'd have to go back a billion years — about 500 million years before the first animals arose — before you could find a common ancestor of hemimastigotes and any other known living things.
The hemimastigotes analyzed by the Dalhousie team were found by Eglit during a spring hike with some other students along the Bluff Wilderness Trail outside Halifax a couple of years ago. She often has empty sample vials in her pockets or bags, and scooped a few tablespoons of dirt into one of them from the side of the trail.
Back at the lab, she soaked the soil in water, which often revives microbes that have gone dormant, waiting for the next big rainstorm. Over the next few weeks, she checked on the dish through a microscope to see what might be swimming around.
Then, one day, about three weeks later, she saw something that caught her eye — something shaped like the partially opened shell of a pistachio. It had lots of hairs, called flagella, sticking out. Most knomicrobes with lots of flagella move them in co-ordinated waves, but not this one, which waved them in a more random fashion.
"It's as if these cells never really learned that they have many flagella," Eglit said with a laugh. She had seen something with that strange motion once before, a few years ago, and recognized it as a rare hemimastigote.
Hemimastigotes were first seen and described in the 19th century. But at that time, no one could figure out how they fit into the evolutionary tree of life. Consequently, they've been "a tantalizing mystery" to microbiologists for quite a long time, Eglit said.
Like animals, plants, fungi and ameobas — but unlike bacteria — hemimastigotes have complex cells with mini-organs called organelles, making them part of the "domain" of organisms called eukaryotes rather than bacteria or archaea.
About 10 species of hemimastigotes have been described over more than 100 years. But up until now, no one had been able to do a genetic analysis to see how they were related to other living things.......

Dark energy/matter
What do we know about dark energy....or dark matter? Is there really anyway for us to know anything about it? Scientist seem to agree that dark matter/energy does exist. How?
I was having a conversation with a friend lately. He described dark energy in a way that I have never heard it described before. I wonder if he is correct or not. He said what we as humans can see is considered light energy and what we cannot is dark energy. He said of all the energy out there, dark energy makes up 80% of that.
So...is that right? I find that difficult to believe that us humans are unable to see 80% of what is around us. Or, I am interpreting something wrong?
I am interested in hearing what others may think.
Thank you.

If you always wanted to be a Space Cadet...
Maybe when you were younger, you wanted to be a Space Cadet. Don't despair... You still have a chance as NASA is taking applications! While the odds are slim, you have to be a U.S. citizen and you must pass the astronaut physical exam.
There is no age limit or 20/20 vision requirement and don't worry that NASA set a high bar for education.
They are looking for applicants with a master’s degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, followed by at least three years of related professional experience.
I'm sure (for a price) you can find someone on the dark web who can print your diploma and a tech company to vouch for your employment.
“The trip to Mars is six to nine months,” he said. “You’re going to be away from familiar for more than a year, one to three years. Are you really ready for that?”

Old photo's
Anyone still have old photo's of themselves ? Or has the digital age ,my cloud etc removed the need for physical prints ...
We can now scan and store everything electronically.
So in 50 years
Money
Books
And much more will become obscure odities much like LP's
8 track tapes
And sending letters through the post...
What do remember from your youth that was cutting edge technology but is now gathering dust in a corner of your storage unit ?
Lol

Quantum binary Bytes
The smallest quantum particle that carries information are the qubit and the qutrit. In the past few years on multiple occasions qutrits have successfully been teleported. Yes, the Beam me up Scotty kind of teleportation.
Qubits are analogous to the Bit of the computer world. When you have 8 computer Bits you have a you have a computer Byte. Qutrits are the Bytes of the quantum world. Add enough of them and you have atoms, molecules, heat, light, etc.
Short sighted scientists only see the successful teleportations as the first steps to a quantum computer. They forget when you have enough Bytes you have a word, or a pixel, etc.
They forget, every atom, every spark, even every photon contains trillions of Qutrits. If you can instantaneously move one Qutrit, eventually you can move an unlimited number of them arranged however you want.
There are two different things to play with. Do we want to move an original? Yes it would be nice to spend your lunch break at the best brothel in Paris, then beam back at the end of the lunch hour to your boring factory job in San Francisco or Tokyo. I confess I am not sure how Customs or Passport control will work when that technology reaches the masses. One could of course suddenly beam a whole army to take over someone else's capital. Or beam a bomb into an aircraft. Such things fiction today may not be in the future.
But wait there is a better way. Once we learn which Qubits are the yes bit and which ones are the no or the maybe, then why move anything. Collect the Qubits you want, assemble them in the Qutint configuration you desire and beam your new creation into being wherever you wish. Some kinky folk may like sending quantum clones of themselves to the Paris brothel, so they can talk about it when or if their duplicate returns. Others may wish to create a probe on a far away planet without any need for a spaceship. The evil ones will calculate the energy release of an H bomb in Qutrits, then beam that energy into creation in an opposing capital. Of course that is overkill. Just teleport small pieces of junk into a political opponents heart, brain or liver. No need to shoot them if you can just teleport the bullet into them.
