EU Scraps Mobile Roaming Charges, Allows Net Neutrality

<p>The European Union has reached an agreement to end mobile roaming charges for people travelling within its 28 member countries – roaming charges will cease to exist in the EU as of 15 June 2017.  The new agreement also announced strong net neutrality rules to “protecting the right of every European to access Internet content, without discrimination”.</p>
<p>Within the EU, prices for roaming calls, SMS and data have fallen by 80% while data roaming is up to 91% cheaper since 2007. From 30 April 2016, <a href="http://ift.tt/1eX0Cm8" target="_blank">roaming will become even cheaper</a> – data roaming fees will be capped at €0.05 per MB, calls will be capped at €0.05 per minute, and SMS will be capped at €0.02 per text (excluding VAT). The <a href="http://ift.tt/1oga1TF" target="_blank">current EU roaming rates</a> are €0.19 per minute of call made, €0.06 per SMS sent, and €0.20 per MB of data (excluding VAT).</p>

Origami: Art with paper becoming a battery near you

<p>For those you who are unfamiliar with this type of art, origami is the art of folding a flat piece of paper into a sculpture such as a bird, a butterfly or a flower, without “guide” marks on the paper and without any kind of adhesive to hold it together.</p>
<p>A battery is a different story. Although the term “battery” was fist coined by Benjamin Franklin, in reference to a series of charged glass plates, the first “wet cell” battery (as we know it) was invented by Alessandro Volta, in 1800. This “Voltic Pile” was the first invention capable of producing a steady and sustained current through a chemical reaction.</p>
<p>Fast forward 215 years into the future and say hello to Seokheun “Sean” Choi. Mr. Choi, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Binghamton University, has worked in collaboration with Hankeun Lee, to successfully create a folding paper battery that creates electricity with… Anyone? Anyone?</p>
<p>Dirty water… Bacteria laden dirty water to be more specific. No, you cannot charge your iPhone with it. Well, not yet. As of right now, this is being looked at as a power source for biosensors and research in remote areas of the world. At least, that’s the next goal. To help achieve this the National Science Foundation has provided the team with a new three-year grant of nearly $300,000. I have a feeling we are looking at a massive jump in the technology of power storage, if Mr. Choi can get it perfected.</p>
<p>How does it work? What does it cost? Who’s using it? As usual, there are a crazy amount of chemical and physics details we could hash out for hours; so, in light of this, we will keep it simple.</p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1GXCVA5"><img alt="how-a-battery-works" class=" size-medium wp-image-24304 alignleft" height="300" src="http://ift.tt/1KENbCW" width="300" /></a>A basic battery has very few parts. It contains a cathode, an anode, and the electrolyte. The electrolyte holds a chemical reaction within the battery casing, moving electrons from one place to another to produce an electric current. Half of the cell contains electrolyte and an anode (the negative end). The other half contains electrolyte and a cathode (the positive end). Electrons gather at the negative end of a battery. When a wire is connected from the positive end to the negative end (or installed in a device) the electrons move through the cell and out of the battery from the anode. Finally, they then move through the wire or device and into the cathode. It’s simple enough, right?</p>
<div class="ezAdsense adsense adsense-midtext" style="text-align:center;margin:12px;"><script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" type="text/javascript">

</script></div>
<p>The paper battery uses an inexpensive air-breathing cathode created with nickel, this is sprayed onto one side of ordinary office paper. The anode is screen printed with carbon paints, which creates spaces for the dirty water to be absorbed into. The trick here is the simple fact that every living thing on our planet produces electricity and its own magnetic field. Both the largest animal in the world and even the smallest plant life creates a “spark”. Until now, there just hasn’t been a way to actually harvest and use this energy.</p>
<p>The most incredible part of the whole endeavor? The total cost of this potentially game-changing device is five cents US. Crazy? I don’t think so. How crazy would it be to unfold a piece of paper, soak it in a puddle of otherwise “undesirable” water, only to refold it and plug your iPhone into it for a quick charge?</p>

<p>It seems only <a href="http://ift.tt/1JNddCH" target="_blank">RT</a> is keen on showcasing the true size of the NO protests. This most recent protest is awe-inspiring in size. <a href="http://ift.tt/1fbndeL" target="_blank">CNN</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/1FWxq3R" target="_blank">Reuters</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/1C4YSkV" target="_blank">BBC</a>, are keen to avoid filming the size of a major NO protest; instead, their reports are either claiming that Greece is a divided nation, is explaining why NO voters are idiots, or is centered around footage of fearful Greek INDIVIDUALS (ignoring NO protesters altogether, focusing on small clumps of NO protesters, and only providing zoomed-out shots for smaller NO protests).</p>

<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1KyMFb9" target="_blank">NewsWeek</a> claims tens of thousands protest both sides, but as with all the other mainstream sources, has refused to film the size of the YES protests as RT had for the NO. Suffice to say, journalistic “omissions” like these, demonstrated across almost all mainstream networks, is most disheartening, but not unexpected. Don’t trust my opinion, perhaps I am looking at the wrong sources. Google the YES and NO protests in Greece for yourself and come to your own conclusions.</p>

Human Harvesting Propels China to Number 2 in World Transplants

<p>The fight on human harvesting, and the atrocities occurring in China, are a battle against the Chinese government, rather than select individuals. <a href="http://ift.tt/1SmMJfc" target="_blank">Human Harvest (aka Davids and Goliath)</a> is a film documenting the trade of human harvesting in China, and its horrific magnitude. There is also a Facebook page where you can find out more about the cause at <a href="http://ift.tt/1LKuAWO" target="_blank">Help STOP Genocidal Organ Harvesting of Prisoners of Conscience in China.</a><br />
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N7ZmFLi0lgY" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>As the trailer documents (and not for the faint hearted), the human harvesting is a very real issue. China now ranks number 2 in the world for organ transplants. Many, many countries are also using the ‘influx’ of organs to benefit others – unbeknownst to the recipient, the donor is still alive when the harvesting takes place.</p>

<p>The challenge is daunting. It’s equivalent to the atrocities in Nazi Germany, perhaps even larger, and this new form of evil and abuse needs to be stopped. Educate yourself with these genocidal atrocities, and decide what part you can play in putting a stop to it.</p>
