Blue Energy when salt water meets fresh water

Real green solutions -use the waste wisely

https://newatlas.com/environment/brewery-waste-activated-charcoal/?utm_source=New+Atlas+Subscribers&utm_campaign=46ad5d7014-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_11_27_06_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_65b67362bd-46ad5d7014-91356605

Dr. Ahmed Osman, the researchers devised a process that begins with the grain getting dried out. A two-stage chemical and heat treatment follows, which utilizes phosphoric acid and then a potassium hydroxide wash – both chemicals are quite inexpensive.

What's left behind is activated charcoal, which could find use in applications such as heating fuel in homes, barbecue briquettes, or water filters. In lab tests, 1 kg (2.2 lb) of grain was sufficient to create enough carbon to cover "100 football pitches."

The technique can also be utilized to create carbon nanotubes, which – among other things – are being incorporated into better batteries, transistors, and even artificial muscles.

Is this the future ,as the government runs out of money that it can borrow by deficit from others ?

So what are the options ?

• can we reduce the administration over head of the government  compliance system and use the savings to pay those front line workers who actually do the service work?
• can we flat line the levels of compliance -do we really need 3 levels of Ministry health bureaucrats to disperse the funds ?
• can we encourage better care by paying those that are doing the work or caring functions at home ?
• can we reduce wage inflation , can we reward performance ?
• can we use natural health processes to enhance health and well being ,
• can we use technology to enhance health and well being or quality of life 

Can we stop the double dipping and hijacked programs such as home care in registered retirement facilities.

Is the crisis real or just another way to gouge more sympathy and funds from a caring but uninformed public . Will the fear generate solutions or force more funds into a less than perfect system of care?

"Axis of aging" mechanism uncovered in worms

"Axis of aging" mechanism uncovered in worms

The quest for a longer life unboxed   Brain -gut -intestine ?.
"One of these neurons is sensitive to cold, and when the temperature dips it responds by having the body release serotonin into the worm's gut. In turn, this signal boosts the activity of the protein DAF-16, which regulates aging and has been linked to increased longevity. The second neuron has the opposite effect. When it senses a temperature rise, it releases an insulin-like chemical into the gut, which blocks DAF-16 and reduces the worm's longevity."

US military seeks biodegradable bullets that sprout plants

good idea :It imagines that the biodegradable composites will be capable of holding bioengineered seeds inside (a technology it says has been demonstrated previously), that won't germinate until they have been in the ground for several months. Then plants will sprout from the discharged ammunition that actively remove soil contaminants and consume the other biodegradable components. Also imperative is that animals are able to safely consume the plants.
