The nobel prize Aung San Suu Kyi is free
The nobel prize Aung San Suu Kyi was released from the house arrest. This was the date her detention had been set to expire according to a court ruling in August 2009. She appeared in front of a crowd of her supporters who rushed to her house in Rangoon when nearby barricades were removed by the security forces. The Nobel Peace Prize winner had been detained for 15 of the past 21 years.

On that dot: everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you’ve ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives.
And I’d like to read you what Carl Sagan wrote about it, just to finish, because I cannot say words as beautiful as this to describe what he saw in that picture that he had taken. He said:
“Consider again that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us.
On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you’ve ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives.
The aggregates of joy and suffering thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager,
every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love,
every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar,
every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there, on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.
It’s been said that astronomy’s a humbling and character-building experience.
There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.
To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
[...]
Let me leave the last words to someone who’s rapidly becoming a hero of mine, Humphrey Davy, who did his science at the turn of the 19th century. He was clearly under assault all the time. We know enough at the turn of the 19th century. Just exploit it; just build things. He said this, he said: “Nothing is more faithful to the progress of the human mind than to presume that our views of science are alternates, that our triumphs are complete, that there are no mysteries in nature, and that there are no new worlds to conquer.”

Think water scarcity isn’t a risk for your company? Think again!
“Let’s use a hypothetical example. You run an apparel company, and the areas where the majority of the world’s cotton is grown are experiencing droughts; several problems may arise. The price of cotton could rise, the amount of cotton you can source may be limited, or your main source of cotton may no longer be available because farmers can’t plant their crop. What happens to your company if it can no longer find enough cotton, or to your profit margins if the price of cotton rises dramatically? Cotton as a crop is highly susceptible to water shortages and yet most of the production occurs in water scarce regions of the world: China, U.S. (primarily Texas and California), India, and Pakistan. If the governments in countries where cotton production occurs, decide they need the water for food production instead, your company will have suffered the next type of water related risk.”

Will Bloom Box change the future of energy?
The Bloom Box: An Energy Breakthrough? – CBS News
The world of energy and entrepreneurship is crackling with electric anticipation this week after an India-born scientist-CEO provided a sneak peek over the weekend at a clean and efficient model of power generation-in-a-box that could eliminate the traditional grid and challenge monopolies.
Supporters are claiming that K R Sridhar’s ‘Bloom Box’, scheduled for a big-splash unveiling in Silicon Valley on Wednesday, could be the Holy Grail of the world’s energy quest; but even sceptics agree that it is a unique “power plant-in-a-box’’. What acres of power grid can generate, Sridhar’s Bloom Box can crank out in a fraction of the footprint—and in a squeaky clean manner.
It is already being done—on the campuses of Google and eBay among others. FedEx, Wal-Mart and Staples are among a score of Fortune 100 companies that have signed up as clients. Former US secretary of state Colin Powell, among those who endorse the technology, is on the board of directors of Sridhar’s Bloom Energy, an eightyear-old stealth start-up that raised more than $400 million from Silicon Valley’s venture capitalists at a time the region’s economy was in a tailspin.
At its heart, Sridhar’s Bloom Box claims to be a game-changing fuel cell device that consists of a stack of ceramic disks coated with secret green and black “inks’’. The disks are separated by cheap metal plates. Stacking the ceramic disks into a bread loaf-sized unit, he says, can produce one kilowatt of electricity, enough to power an American home—or four Indian homes. Bloom boxes could power homes in five years
Washington: The Bloom Box of India-born K R Sridhar which, some say, is a power plant-in-a-box, can be installed anywhere and be connected to an electrical grid. Hydrocarbons such as natural gas or biofuel (stored in an adjacent tank) are pumped into the Bloom Box to produce clean, abundant, reliable electricity.
Sridhar’s Bloom Energy says the unit does not vibrate, emits no sound and has no smell, although he admits to some initial, but minor, glitches at some installations.
The big catch right now is cost. Large-sized Bloom Boxes of the kind installed at some Silicon Valley campuses costs around $700,000 to $800,000. Sridhar estimates that a Bloom Box for the residential market could be out in 5 to 10 years for as little as $3,000 to produce electricity 24/7/365.
But Silicon Valley, whose major venture capitalist Kleiner Perkins bankrolled Bloom Energy, is endorsing the technology. eBay said it has already saved $100,000 in electricity costs since its five boxes were installed nine months ago. It even claims that the Bloom Boxes generate more power than the 3,000 solar panels at its headquarters.
Prior to founding Bloom Energy, Sridhar was a professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering at the University of Arizona. He is also, literally, a rocket scientist, having served as an advisor to Nasa in the areas of nanotechnology and planetary missions.
