That is about $0.38 per litre for us Auzzies!

This will probably be the first and last time you hear about this story. The Person(s) responsible will “go missing” or all research will be lost in a lab fire etc etc

Many alternative fuel’s have come and gone always being swept under the mat, or companies brought out then shut down by the oil tycoons.

Anyway enjoy the read, fingers crossed:

UK-based Cella Energy has developed a synthetic fuel that could lead to US$1.50 per gallon gasoline. Apart from promising a future transportation fuel with a stable price regardless of oil prices, the fuel is hydrogen based and produces no carbon emissions when burned. The technology is based on complex hydrides, and has been developed over a four year top secret program at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford. Early indications are that the fuel can be used in existing internal combustion engined vehicles without engine modification.

According to Stephen Voller CEO at Cella Energy, the technology was developed using advanced materials science, taking high energy materials and encapsulating them using a nanostructuring technique called coaxial electrospraying.

He does look a bit like K Rud

It started New Years Eave 31/12/2010 in Beebe Arkansas with the discovery of 5,000 blackbirds that had fallen from the sky dead. One day later, 100,000 fish suddenly died in the nearby Arkansas River, and more than 500 blackbirds turned up dead in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. Dozens more were soon reported dead in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.

Then the reports of millions of dead fish and birds from around the globe started.

• In Brazil, ParanaOnline has reported 100 tons of dead catfish, croaker and sardines.
• In New Zealand hundreds of dead snapper have been found.
• Swedish officials are reporting the deaths of dozens of birds.
• The Baltimore Sun is also reporting the sudden death of 2 million fish in the Chesapeake Bay.
• Canada are scrambling to deal with the sudden death of 10′s of thousands of wild birds somewhere in the province. Officials dodged local reporters who were removed from outside the Level-4 Canada Science center.
• Italy over 1000 dead birds

Authorities have attempted to explain the massive numbers of dead birds and dead fish on natural occurrences, like fireworks and weather. However, none of the deaths, so far, have a solid scientific explanation. Officials have also been unable to explain why so many animals have died, in so many different countries, in less than a week.

Interesting article from Japan 03/01/2011 may or may not be related:

Japanese bird sanctuaries, poultry farms and zoos went on high alert last month after several species of migratory birds in different regions were found dead of what appeared to be H5N1 avian influenza.

Below is a Map of locations around the world where birds and fish are dying.

It look like someone has been playing with Wycky News and the site was gone!!!

I am pointing at pope Benedict, my last article was about him

So as you can see Wycky News has been restored and now has a new look and will be undergoing some changes over the next few weeks, so if you see anything not working correctly please let me know.

Cheers,

The mayhem that wikileaks has caused over the web is has started an Info war.

The Wikileaks website has been shut down, US Government workers have been bared from viewing any wikileaks materials in any format.

People have been helping Wikileaks by mirroring their site at the bottom of this post you will find the list.

The Image below was posted on 4chan’s website  (a well know hacking group) wether or not they are associated with this operation is unclear: Operation Avenge Assange

My concern over this war is it may give Obama the Power to switch “Off” the Internet: Obama ‘Internet kill switch’ plan approved by US Senate panel

Apple is applying for a patent on technology that will allow them to punish people who “jail break” the Apple product.

However, Apple’s new technology would do much more. This patented device enables Apple to secretly collect, store and potentially use sensitive biometric information about you. This is dangerous in two ways: First, it is far more than what is needed just to protect you against a lost or stolen phone. It’s extremely privacy-invasive and it puts you at great risk if Apple’s data on you are compromised. But it’s not only the biometric data that are a concern. Second, Apple’s technology includes various types of usage monitoring — also very privacy-invasive. This patented process could be used to retaliate against you if you jailbreak or tinker with your device in ways that Apple views as “unauthorized” even if it is perfectly legal under copyright law.

Here’s a sample of the kinds of information Apple plans to collect:

• The system can take a picture of the user’s face, “without a flash, any noise, or any indication that a picture is being taken to prevent the current user from knowing he is being photographed”;
• The system can record the user’s voice, whether or not a phone call is even being made;
• The system can determine the user’s unique individual heartbeat “signature”;
• To determine if the device has been hacked, the device can watch for “a sudden increase in memory usage of the electronic device”;
• The user’s “Internet activity can be monitored or any communication packets that are served to the electronic device can be recorded”; and
• The device can take a photograph of the surrounding location to determine where it is being used.

In other words, Apple will know who you are, where you are, and what you are doing and saying and even  your heart. In some embodiments of Apple’s “invention,” this information “can be gathered every time the electronic device is turned on, unlocked, or used.” When an “unauthorized use” is detected, Apple can contact a “responsible party.” A “responsible party” may be the device’s owner, it may also be “proper authorities or the police.”

Basically Apple can listen to you whether you are talking on the phone or not, they can pin point your location through GPS or Mobile phone towers and can take photographs with out your knowledge.

Don’t believe the story view the Patent here it was filed Feb 19th 2009

In a world first, Craig Venter, a maverick biologist and billionaire entrepreneur, has made a synthetic cell from scratch.

In future, bacterial ‘factories’ could be set up to manufacture artificial organisms designed for specific tasks such as medicines or producing clean biofuels.

The technology could also be harnessed to create environmentally friendly bugs capable of mopping up carbon dioxide or toxic waste.

Dr Venter, a 63-year-old Vietnam War veteran known for his showman tendencies, said last night: ‘We are entering a new era where we’re limited mostly by our imaginations.’

But the breakthrough, which took 15 years and £27.7million to achieve, opens an ethical Pandora’s box. Ethicists said he is ‘creaking open the most profound door in humanity’s history’ – with unparalleled risks.

This is massive news!

Why I have not seen news about it anywhere else baffles me…I guess its not that big of news when you think about it, its one man playing GOD!!!!

The possibilities are endless, you would be able to create Anti Cancer Cell’s and these little guys can swim around your body eating cancer cells and you could do this for all diseases that plague our planet. You have a really bad flu? Just take to Immune Booster Tablets it will create an artificial immune system in your body, kill the flu virus and allow you own immune system strengthen up in a manner of hours or minuets who knows, the possibilities are endless……

and that is where the problem lies … endless possibilities ….. Although with this sort of technology we can act like gods we are unfortunately not gods, as humans we are corruptible, deceitful and have our own agendas.  This sort of technology can cause mass destruction and elimination of life. An Artificial life form can be created to eradicate a particular species of  plant or animal ….. or particular race of HUMANS!

All in all I think is is an incredible piece of technology and could advance the human race to incredible places, but is it worth the risk if it falls into the wrong hands?

Let me know what you think…..

This is exciting new for those who “want to believe.”

M82 Galaxy

MERLIN network of radio telescopes in the UK detected Radio waves emitting from the M82 Galaxy at 4 TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHT a year ago and have been monitoring since then.

The thing appeared in May last year, while Muxlow and his colleagues were monitoring an unrelated stellar explosion in M82 using the MERLIN network of radio telescopes in the UK. A bright spot of radio emission emerged over only a few days, quite rapidly in astronomical terms. Since then it has done very little except baffle astrophysicists.

It certainly does not fit the pattern of radio emissions from supernovae: they usually get brighter over a few weeks and then fade away over months, with the spectrum of the radiation changing all the while. The new source has hardly changed in brightness over the course of a year, and its spectrum is steady.

Remember this article I posted a week ago about a week ago The Solar Panel Conspiracy which talk about how we are being forced into solar energy so the energy companies can sell it back to you at a higher rate? How much more proof do you need??

What is the reason for the massive price hike?

Well the energy companies are claiming that they need the money to repair infrastructure….. so what!!  This is not how business is done. If you want to expand your business you have to invest money into the business which would come from selling shares, your own pocket, company profits or get a loan. How could any other form of business survive by increasing its rates by 64%? they would lose all their clients and have to shut the doors, but when you  have a Monopoly you can get away with it.

The Energy Co’s are not exactly short on funds either:

As you can see from the chart above.

08/09 Energy Australia made $231 Million and paid $272 Million to the Government.

07/08 Energy Australia made $268 Million and paid $272 Million to the Government.

http://www.annualreport.energyaustralia.com.au/

So why can’t they reinvest that $499 Million back into the infrastructure? that is what every other business has to do and if the government wanted to step in and help how about using some of the $544 Million that they made?Also keep in mind this is only profits based on the past 2 years they should have much more then this sitting in their kitties.

As you can see you have a corporation walking all over the citizens of this country and our government who is suppose to prevent this and protect its citizens is letting it happen. It just goes to show that the Australian Government cares more about corporations then its people.

The story below is a “joke” that has been circulating around the web.

The sad thing is it’s really not that funny because its very true, we have a pointless & phony  monetary system and this story illustrates that very nicely.

Economic recovery

It is a slow day in the small Minnesota town of Marshall , and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.

A rich tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.

As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Farmer’s Co-op.

The guy at the Farmer’s Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her “services” on credit.

The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.

The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves town.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything… However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.

HEALTH experts are warning that Australians can expect a second wave of swine flu, possibly as early as the beginning of the school year just a fortnight away.

With a new report finding Australia’s public health response failed to prevent the H1N1 pandemic last year – and that mass casualties and a collapse of the health system would have resulted had it not been a benign strain – the Australian Medical Association has said it is likely swine flu will strike again.

AMA vice-president Steven Hambleton, a member of the national pandemic planning committee, said yesterday it would be difficult to prevent a “second wave” as the virus was again sweeping the northern hemisphere.

It has also overtaken all other strains of the virus as the dominant variety of influenza.

IMO i think it was just a scare tactic to get kids to take the shot before they go back to school.
