myBio dolls are a collection of educational dolls exploring the emergence of biological hybrids
in biotechnologies, and our moral, social, cultural and personal responses to the strange
and different in human biology and also "transhuman" creatures.
![myBio_xenotransplant_1[1].jpg](http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/yyy/myBio_xenotransplant_1%5B1%5D.jpg)
Learning from companies and organisations that produce educational dolls, designer
Elio Caccavale and bioethicist Richard Ashcroft made twelve myBio dolls that could
symbolise possible biofutures.
The use of narrative and myBio dolls can help children understand how to deal with
applications of biotechnology, and with the social development of biotechnological knowledge.
Tomorrow’s children will need to know the key methods used in biotechnology so they can learn
to understand the many ambivalent possibilities of biotechnology.
Starting with a series of "What if" stories, the narrative process gives children a common language
for talking about biotechnology. "Suppose that your life could be saved by a pig, what would happen
to you and the pig?" or "Imagine you could have a glow-in-the-dark rabbit, would you relate to such
a rabbit differently than a conventional one?"

![myBio-reactor[1].jpg](http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/yyy/myBio-reactor%5B1%5D.jpg)
The dolls include myBio boy and myBio pig which demonstrate the physical transfer of the organ from
the animal to the human; myBio bunny, myBio glowing fish and myBio jellyfish glow bright green when
illuminated with a UV light, demonstrating how scientists have used GFP as a fluorescent indicator for
monitoring gene expression in living organisms; myBio reactor cow shows how cows produce proteins
in their milk for pharmaceutical drugs (this is symbolised by the "milk thread" attached to the cow’s udders);
myBio goat has a spider web attached to the udders demonstrating one animal making the natural
product of another.
Hybrids: towards a new typology of beings and animal products will be shown at the Science Learning
Centre, Institute of Education, in London, from 20 May 2005 to 02 June 2005.

Glume is a computationally enhanced translucent modeling medium which offers
a generalized modular scalable platform with the physical immediacy of a soft and
malleable tangible material.
The Glume system consists of soft and translucent augmented interlocking modules,
each embedded with a full spectrum LED, which communicate capacitively to their
neighbors to determine a network topology and are responsive to human touch.
We envision Glume as a viable tool for modeling, visualization and simulation of three
dimensional data sets in which users construct and manipulate models whose morphology
is determined through the distributed system. The Glume system provides a new and
novel means for expression and investigation of organic forms and processes not
possible with existing materials by relaxing the rigidity of structure in previous solid
building block approaches.

The biological fuel cell relies glucose, a sugar in blood, with a non-toxic substance to draw
electrons from glucose. While most other bio-fuel cells under study use a metal complex,
the new electron mediator is based on Vitamin K3, already present in the body, it is thus
safer and could in the future generate power from blood as an implant-type fuel cell.
The newly developed cell is the size of a tiny coin and can generate 0,2 milliwatts of electricity,
enough to power a device that measures blood sugar level and transmits data elsewhere.

Voice Changer Software Diamond http://www.audio4fun.com/ (You can do it in real time as well, but it might be just
over the internet. Might want to call them to ask if it will work)
Unlike other voice changers, Voice Changer Software changes your voice over internet in real time and can create
an unlimited number of new voices. You can modify your voice by changing voice pitch and voice timbre, applying
effects, adjusting advanced tuner, and setting equalizer. By changing your voice to a male, female, teen, or baby,
you can disguise your voice in voice chat, PC phone, online gaming, voice mail, and voice messages. You can try
different tones to enhance your voice with sex appeal or to make a better impression. Voice Changer Software
helps you make many different voices for movies, cartoons, story telling, presentations, audio stories. It also
changes voices in music, adds effects for listening or recording to new file. Voice changer Software has a sound
recorder, which allows you to record voice, sound, audio from any source including microphone, internet radio,
chat, phone, message, media player, karaoke singing. Voice Changer Software now has Voice Comparator to compare
your changed voice with another's voice. It tells you how successful you have done and what needs further
adjustment to imitate or simulate that target voice. Voice Changer Software is quite simple to use with various
presets available for you to pick from and apply; it also offers audio effects, background effects, "nickvoices",
and equalizer settings. Now you have more control over the software: exclude certain audio streams and manage your
list of "nickvoice" effects. Voice Changer Software is compatible with voice chat rooms and voice enabled instant
messengers, such as AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo! Messenger (YIM), MSN Messenger, ICQ, Paltalk, Odigo,
Trillian, NetMeeting, and Skype; voice e-mail applications, online voice games using Roger Wilco, Microsoft Game
Voice, etc.; audio/video Conferencing and PC-to-Telephone programs, such as Net2Phone, Dialpad, Go2Call, DeltaThree,
MaxPhone, as well as Media Players, Recorders and DVD, CD, and Karaoke Players

Pictured: The floating cities that could one day house climate change refugees By Daily
Mail Reporter Last updated at 2:13 AM on 04th July 2008 At first glance, they look like
a couple of giant inflatable garden chairs that have washed out to sea
But they are, apparently, the ultimate solution to rapidly rising sea levels. This computer-
generated image shows two floating cities, each with enough room for 50,000 inhabitants.
The 'Lilypad' cities would be powered by renewable energy sources Based on the design of a
lilypad, they could be used as a permanent refuge for those whose homes have been covered
in water. Major cities including London, New York and Tokyo are seen as being at huge risk
from oceans which could rise by as much as 3ft by the end of this century. This solution, by
the award-winning Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut, is designed to be a new place to live
for those whose homelands have been wiped out. The 'Lilypad City' would float around the
world as an independent and fully self-sustainable home. With a lake at its centre to collect
and purify rainwater, it would be accessed by three separate marinas and feature artificial mountains to offer the inhabitants a change of scenery from the seascape.
Power for the central accommodation hub is provided through a series of renewable energy
sources including solar panels on the mountaisides, wind turbines and a power station to
harness the energy of the waves. Mr Callebaut said: 'The design of the city is inspired by
the shape of the great Amazonia Victoria Regia lilypad. Some countries spend billions of
pounds working on making their beaches and dams bigger and stronger.'But the lilypad
project is actually a long-term solution to the problem of the water rising.' The architect,
who has yet to estimate a cost for his design, added: 'It's an amphibious city without
any roads or any cars. The whole city is covered by plants housed in suspended gardens.
'The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.' 'Some countries
spend billions of pounds working on making their beaches and dams bigger and stronger.
'But the Lilypad project is actually a long term solution to the problem of the water rising.
'And it has the other objective of providing housing for refugees from islands that have
been submerged.'
The Lilypad city would house climate change refugees Centred around a lake which collects
and then purifies rain water, the Lilypad will drift around the world following the ocean currents
and streams.It will be accessed by three marinas and will also feature three 'mountains' to offer
the inhabitants a change of scenery.Power will be provided through a series of renewable
energy sources including solar, thermal, wind energy, hydraulic and a tidal power station.The city
will actually produce much more energy than it consumes and be entirely 'zero-emission' as all
the carbon-dioxide and the waste will be recycled.
Mr Callebaut added: 'It's an amphibious city without any roads or any cars.The whole city is
covered by plants housed in suspended gardens. The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence
of humans and nature.'I think trying to accomodate the millions of people left homeless by
environmental changes will prove to be one of the great challenges of the 21st century.'
Neither the cost of building the city or the cost of living there have been revealed.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global sea level is
expected to rise between nine and 88 centimetres by 2100, with a 'best estimate' of 50
centimetres.This is due to global warming which is causing the ice caps to melt.
In many places, 50 centimetres would see entire beaches being washed away, together with
a significant chunk of the coastline. On low-lying Pacific islands such as Tuvalu, Kiribati or
the Maldives, the highest point is only two or three metres above current sea levels.If the
sea level was to rise by 50cm, significant portions of these islands would be washed away
by erosion or covered by water. Even if they remain above the sea, many island nations will
have their supplies of drinking water reduced because sea water will invade their freshwater
stocks.There are also tens of millions of people living in low-level coastal areas of southern
Asia, such as the coastlines of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Burma, who would
be in danger.
Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below?
The credibility of the IPCC sinks lower and lower as their wild claims about the
future get sillier and sillier.
There is no evidence that sea levels will rise by more than about 10cm (four inches)
by 2100.
They have been on the rise slowly ever since the end of the Little Ice Age, and there
is no sign of any acceleration of the rate in recent times. If anything, the rate of rise
is likely to decrease in coming years. The IPCC is ignoring the facts and relying on
faulty computer models.
There are currently no 'climate change refugees', and that is unlikely to change in the
foreseeable future.

Three-Gram 'Dragonfly' Takes Flight
Three-Gram 'Dragonfly' Takes Flight
TU Delft recently presented the minute DelFly Micro air vehicle. This successor to the DelFly I and II
weighs barely 3 grams, and with its flapping wings is very similar to a dragonfly.
Ultra-small, remote-controlled micro aircraft with cameras, such as this DelFly, may well be used in the
future for observation flights in difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas.
The DelFly Micro is a 'Micro Air Vehicle' (MAV), an exceptionally small remote-controlled aircraft with
camera and image recognition software. The Micro, weighing just 3 grams and measuring 10 cm
(wingtip to wingtip) is the considerably smaller successor to the successful DelFly I (2005) and
DelFly II (2006).
The DelFly Micro, with its minuscule battery weighing just 1 gram, can fly for approximately three
minutes and has a maximum speed of 5 m/s. Ultra-small remote-controlled, camera-equipped
aircraft are potentially of great interest because they could eventually be
used for observation flights in difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas.
Nature
The basic principle of the DelFly is derived from nature. The 'dragonfly' has a tiny camera
(about 0.5 grams) on board that transmits
its signals to a ground station.
With software developed by TU Delft itself, objects can then be recognized independently.
The camera transmits TV quality images, and therefore allows the DelFly II to be operated
from the computer. It can be maneuvered using a joystick as if the operator was actually
in the cockpit of the aircraft. The aim is to be able to do this with the DelFly Micro too.
Miniaturization
The development of the DelFly is above all the story of continuing miniaturisation of all the parts, from the
DelFly I (23 grams and 50 cm) via the DelFly II (16 grams and 30 cm) to the present DelFly Micro (3 grams
and 10 cm).
The DelFly II drew huge attention in 2006 because it could fly horizontally (21 km/hr) as well as hover, just
like a hummingbird, and also fly backwards. The DelFly Micro, incidentally, cannot do this just yet.
In a few years time, the new objective of the project, the DelFly NaNo (5 cm, 1 gram) will have been developed.
The Micro is an important intermediate step in this development process. A second objective for the future is
for the DelFly to be able to fly entirely independently thanks to image recognition software.

The 'Meaning' of Fifteen Flower Mandalas
Fifteen Flower Mandalas
I'd like to take this space to thank those of you who have downloaded my free Fifteen Flower Mandalas
screensaver, and particularly those who have written back. The responses so far have been interesting.
Until now, I didn't know that people from all parts of the world -- from the tip of Alaska to Cape
Town and beyond -- were checking into this blog. That, alone, is gratifying. And I'm grateful to those of
you who shared your positive responses to my work, and to those, as well, who have shared their similar
struggles with life, death, near-death, and everything in between. It has been, and continues to be, a
heart-warming bounty. Thank you.
Several of you have asked me to send you, along with the screensaver, the "meaning" of each mandala.
There's no simple answer to this question. I can list the flowers from which they were derived, and some
feelings and thoughts that occur to me when I lo ok at them, but I believe each viewer, if he or
she meditates on a particular image, will come away from it with a different sense, one specific to that
person in that moment.
Here are the flowers. They match up, from top-left to bottom-right, with the mandalas in the above image.
Row 1: Beach Rose, Blue Pansy, Dandelion Head, Daylily (rear view), Dying Amaryllis.
Row 2: Galliardia 'Arizona Sun', Iris Germanica, Marigold, Pink Dahlia, Pink Peony.
Row 3: Queen Anne's Lace, Violet Morning Glory, White Lily, White Rose, Yellow Lily.
Some feelings I get (now, today): From the Beach Rose, love. From the Blue Pansy, stillness. From the
Dandelion Head, rebirth. From the Dying Amaryllis, vastness and motion. From the Galliardia, surprise.
From the Iris Germanica, a meeting of masculine and feminine energy. From the Marigold, momentum
and stability (the 'flywheel'). From the Pink Dahlia, openness. From the Pink Peony, protection. From
the Queen Anne's Lace, playfulness. From the Violet Morning Glory, a holy spirit. From the White Lily,
complexity. From the White Rose, transformation. From the Yellow Lily, strength.
What feelings do you get from these images? Let me know, either as a comment to this post or to in
the Art, Healing, and Transformation group.
More anon, and thanks in advance for your responses.See you in cyberspace,

. The combination of these subsystems enables the vehicles towing capacity to remain unchanged,
while the addition of a power inverter enhanced the vehicles capability by permitting power generated
by the fuel cell to be delivered to aircraft and/or ancillary support equipment.
The vehicle was transported to Hickam AFB, Hawaii by Marine C-130 airlift on the 20th of October, 2006.
The vehicle will be put through a demonstration/validation program while in daily use at Hickam AFB.

Military’s Active Denial System is
First True Ray Gun
John Dodge, Editor-in-Chief --

This breakthrough looks like an airport radar except the one rolled out to the media recently
is mounted on a hybrid Humvee. The operator sitting in the Humvee lines up the target and
fires a 95 GHz blast from a 100 kW ultra-high-frequency radio transmitter.
The sensation at the target up to 500m away is akin to taking a heat blast from an opened
“oven door,” according to Marine Corps. Col. Kirk Hymes. “This does not incapacitate them.
This pushes them back and out of the way,” he says. As such, the unit promises to be another
tool for crowd control or for protection of Navy ships.
“Navy ships have curious onlookers who try to push the envelope. Let’s steer closer to those big
Navy ships. But we have a tremendous responsibility to protect the men and women on that ship.
When there is mixture of terrorists and tourists and they are not readily moving back, this system
can be used to gently push those individuals back.
It does not have a lasting effect,” he says, adding that the weapon’s development
really accelerated after the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in 2000
Indeed, the 1 mm radio wave penetrates the top 1/64th of an inch of skin and just down to the nerve endings.
When hit, the target moves away from the beam and the sensation ceases. Each blast is four sec and in testing
with 600 volunteers and 10,000 exposures, the Air Force, which has developed the technology over the past 15
years, claims there is only one tenth of a 1 percent chance of minor injury such as a blister or rash.
The device comes at a time when the military is serving in a multitude of non-traditional roles such as peace-keeping
and humanitarian efforts.
“We have instances where helicopters had a hard time landing to deliver foodstuffs.
Hunger is a pretty motivating factor and if I was senior member of my tribe or clan and I’ve watched my family die from
hunger, I’ll do what it takes to get those foodstuffs. How do you non-lethally get them to stand in an orderly fashion
so the food can be delivered safely and proportionally and protect those who aren’t in a rush?
If you can target individuals to stay back, leave the area or form and orderly line, it only takes a couple of individuals
to be targeted and it says there’s something going on here,” says Col. Hymes.
At the heart of the transmitter is a water-cooled gyrotron developed by CPI Inc. based in Palo Alto, CA. The gyrotron
creates the radio frequency beam. The aiming device is comprised of “relatively simple” optics, which look down the
center of beam.
In addition to the Humvee-mounted unit, the Air Force has also built one containerized version, which is armored and
enclosed to survive rugged environments. Each system costs about $10 million, says Hymes.
Raytheon is the systems integrator.
The testing of the ADS itself has been proven and now focuses on how it can
be maintained and operated in challenging environments such as Iraq’s dust and heat.

SUPER-EFFICIENT ELECTROLYSIS
Water can be broken into Hydrogen and Oxygen using electricity.
Standard chemistry books claim that this process requires more energy
than can be recovered when the gases are recombined.
This is true under normal circumstances, but it is not true under
ALL circumstances. When ordinary tap water is hit with a series of high
voltage impulses, using a system developed by Stan Meyer (USA) and
again more recently by Xogen Power (Canada), it splits into Hydrogen
and Oxygen gas with significantly less electrical input.
Even ordinary electrolysis can be made more efficient by using different
electrolytes (additives that make the water conduct electricity better).
For instance, Potassium Hydroxide works better than Sodium Hydroxide.
It is also known that certain geometric structures and surface textures
on the electrodes work better than others. Stan Meyer used concentric
tubes with very close tolerances instead of the standard practice of parallel
flat plates.
The implication is that unlimited amounts of Hydrogen fuel can be made
to drive engines (like in your car) for the cost of water. Even more amazing
is the fact that a special metal alloy was patented by Freedman (USA) in
1957 that spontaneously breaks water into Hydrogen and Oxygen, with
no outside electrical input and without causing any chemical changes in
the metal itself. This means that this special metal alloy can make Hydrogen
from water for free, forever.

"...Water can be broken into Hydrogen and Oxygen using electricity. Standard chemistry books claim that this
process requires more energy than can be recovered when the gases are recombined. This is true only under
the worst case scenario. When water is hit with its own molecular resonant frequency, using a system
developed by Stan Meyers (USA) and again recently by Xogen Power, Inc., it collapses into Hydrogen and
Oxygen gas with very little electrical input. Also, using different electrolytes (additives that make the water
conduct electricity better) changes the efficiency of the process dramatically. It is also known that certain
geometric structures and surface textures work better than others do. The implication is that unlimited

My view of Islam from Ali in Kuwait
Ros Atkins
17 Jul 07, 02:56 PM
Hi Ros and everyone at WHYS.
I am a British convert to Islam (12 years ago). I listen to the World Service and your
programme all the time in my car and I can't help but notice how many items concern
Islam and Muslims, often in a negative light. This has been disturbing me for some time
because I feel that Islam is not being properly presented or understood. I want to hear
the good things about Islam presented and debated...
I find all the talk about moderate versus extreme or modern versus fundamental etc quite
irrelevant and totally missing the point. Islam is a faith – a belief system based on funda
mental principles, doctrines and texts.
At the core is belief in the oneness of God and that Muhammad is His last Messenger.
Islam is also a way of life. It is a religious way of life that puts worship of God at the
centre.
It makes no sense to talk of "secular Islam". The main objective of the secular movement
is to put religion into a box and remove its influence from the core of society. Unfortunately
many Muslims are happy to go along with this view, largely because it gives them a good
excuse not to follow their religion.
Here are a few examples of the benefits of a Muslim society where Muslims actually
practise Islam:
1. It is free of alcohol and drugs and all the related disease, crime, costs etc.
2. The (extended) family is the fundamental building block of society.
3. Women are not exploited as sexual objects.
4. Children respect their parents and authority figures such as teachers.
5. Old people are respected, cared for by their families and not put into
institutions when they can no longer care for themselves.
6. People respect each other and each other's property.
7. There is little crime.
8. There is justice.
9. People are honest.
10. There are no homeless people.
11. People do not get into debt by buying things they can't afford on credit.
12. Children have two parents.
13. Orphans are cared for.
14. People put the worldly life in proper perspective, are not beset by psychological
problems such as depression and suicide is a rarity.
Nuff said
