  • 3Vitaliy N. Katsenelson, CFA, is CIO at Investment Manage-ment Associates in Denver, Co-lo. He is the author of Th e Little Book of Sideways Markets (Wi-ley, December 2010).

    Over the weekend I watched the documentary Th e Return of the Violin, and it had a tremen-dous impact on me. Watch it, even if you dont care for classical music this movie is so much more than its title implies.

    I was going to write a synopsis of the fi lm, saying that truth is stranger than fi ction, but then I stumbled on this summary of the movie in Th e Jewish Chroni-cle, which made the same point:

    No movie director could make up a story like this.

    A little Jewish boy [Bronislaw Huberman] from Czestochowa, Poland, plays the violin with such virtuosity that a nobleman makes him a gift of a priceless Stradivar-ius, which he uses to bedazzle the composer Johannes Brahms.

    But when he grows up, becom-ing one of the great classical musi-cians of his day, the violin that has come to bear his name is stolen. He never sees it again.

    Unbroken, the man fl ees to Palestine before World War II, founds the national orchestra, rescues hundreds of Jewish musi-cians from certain death in Nazi Europe and is hailed as a hero be-fore he dies.

    Fift y years later, his beloved

    violin surfaces when the man who stole it makes a deathbed confes-sion. Th e instrument is sold twice and fi nally acquired by superstar Jewish performer for a jaw-drop-ping $4 million.

    Th at same man returns to Cze-stochowa, where it all began, to perform the previous owners fa-vorite concerto by you guessed it Brahms.

    Truth is stranger than fi ction.Th is documentary promi-

    nently features Brahms Violin Concerto in D major, op. 77. As the movie makes clear, the vio-lin part in this concerto is very technical and diffi cult to play. Someone described it as written not for violin and orchestra but against violin and orchestra.

    A few notes to followAccording to McKinsey,

    global debt has increased by $57 trillion since the fi nancial cri-sis. Th eir report points out that debt in China has gone up four-fold. Here is what the report said

    about China:Fueled by real estate and

    shadow banking, Chinas total debt has nearly quadrupled, rising to $28 trillion by mid-2014, from $7 trillion in 2007. At 282 percent of GDP, Chinas debt as a share of GDP, while manageable, is larger than that of the United States or Germany. Th ree developments are potentially worrisome: half of all loans are linked, directly or indirectly, to Chinas overheated real-estate market; unregulated shadow banking accounts for nearly half of new lending; and the debt of many local govern-ments is probably unsustainable.

    According to the WSJ, Apple is Chinas most desirable brand, and its products are the gift s of choice for both men and women. Apple ranks above Tiff any, Gu-cci, Cartier, etc., with Samsung in the number 10 spot. Th is is very important, as Apple is en-tering into the jewelry space by introducing the Apple Watch. In

    other words, in a few months a Rolex will not the bribe of choice anymore, having been replaced by an Apple Watch in gold.

    Th is new study relieved me of some of the guilt I carry for not exercising enough: Fast run-ning is as deadly as sitting oncouch, scientists fi nd. In gen-eral I am very skeptical when it comes to studies that tell me to do this or dont do that becauseit is good or bad for me. Maybe I am becoming a curmudgeon,but I have found that if you waitlong enough, a study will come along that will agree with any-thing you want to or dont want to do. When my wife asks me why I drink so much coff ee, Itell her that I want to enjoy it asmuch as possible while the latest study is saying its good for me.

    And now I would like to share with you my travel notes, which I wrote up and titled Homopho-bic Arbitrage.

    Homophobic ArbitrageVitaliy Katsenelson

    Last week I went to a confer-ence in South Beach. I made reservations for our hotel a few months ago, but I did not make a reservation for the one night we needed at Key West. I did not know much about the Keys and didnt have time to research them before the trip. I fi gured my brother Alex and I would fi nd a hotel when we got there. We were traveling without our families, we are very low-main-tenance men, and the hotel was our lowest priority.

    We arrived in Miami, rented a car, and headed to the Keys. While Alex was driving I was researching our fi nal destina-tion on my iPad. It did not take me much time to realize that there is very little to see and do (other than go fi shing) on the is-lands other than Key West, so we needed to stay overnight there. And it was four hours away its the largest island and the one furthest one from Miami so we had plenty of time to fi nd a hotel.

    I looked for hotels on Kayak, and there were plenty available in the $300-400 range, plus a few for $200 on my Hotel Tonight app (I highly recommend that app). But I wanted to enjoy the scenery, so I put hotel fi nding on the back burner. An hour and a half before we were to arrive in Key West, I fi nally got back to it; but now the Hotel Tonight app

    did not list any rooms at all, and Kayak showed just a few hotels, all for $600 and up. And every time I called to try to reserve a room, they were gone.

    I fi gured maybe not all hotels are listed on Kayak. So I pulled up Google Maps and called ev-ery hotel and motel in the Key West area: every room on the island was booked (this includ-

    ed adjacent islands, too). I even enrolled in a local service that brokered Key West hotel rooms. Th ere were literally no rooms, at any price, available on Key West. Period.

    I have to admit that instead of worrying about it I was laughing. I looked at it as an adventure. I had this weird curiosity about how it was going to play out. Th e feeling was similar to the one I get when I sit down to write an article and dont have the slight-est idea what it will look like when Im done. Th e potential downside was merely that Alex and I might have to drive back at night, or most likely just sleep in the car.

    Back to the hotel search. Th ere was one exception. Every time I searched there was this one ho-tel that showed up: New Orleans House, which was described as an all-male hotel that off ered rooms for $200. I was not quite sure what all-male meant was it maybe a refuge for men tired of their nagging wives? Or

    maybe it was an all-the-beer-you-can-drink hotel.

    So I pulled up the hotels web-site, and in seconds it becamecrystal clear to me that it was ahotel for gay men. I am the leasthomophobic person I know, but I had never stayed in a gay hotel before. I was not quite sure whatthe expectations were of guests.But our options were really limit-ed: stay in that hotel, sleep in the car, or drive at least three hoursto the nearest hotel and thendrive another three hours back to Key West tomorrow.

    I called the hotel and tried to politely ask if there was anything else I needed to know about thehotel, other than that it was formen only. A very polite gentle-man told me that I had to be atleast 18 (check!) and that cloth-ing was optional. So I asked,Are you saying there are naked men roaming around the hotel?I was told they were just at thepool.

    Alex was hesitant, but he

    Remarkable Health Benefits of Tea

    Th roughout history, tea has been used as a form of medi-cine to treat all sorts of illnesses and diseases so its not a secret that it has many health benefi ts, but do you know exactly why drinking tea is healthier than drinking coff ee or what it is that

    makes tea so benefi cial? Every-one has their own taste when it comes to tea, but there are mil-lions of diff erent types of tea on the market, so dont be afraid to try something new every time you go to the grocery store be-fore you fi nd that one perfect fl avor that you enjoy and drink tea not only for its nutrition but also for the taste.

    As most liquids, tea is very good for hydrating the body, which is important for keeping the fl uids in your system circu-lating. Studies have shown that drinking tea can help reduce the risk of getting a heart at-tack as well as prevent cardio-vascular diseases. Tea contains

    many antioxidants that helps fi ght a wide variety of cancers including liver, small intes-tine, lung, skin, and stomach cancers.Green tea was found to be benecifi al to improving strength and boen mineral den-sity as well.

    However not all types of tea have the same health benefi ts, and depending on your goal you should choose carefully what you want to buy. Black tea tends to be the most processed and have the least health benefi ts, but some people prefer black tea for its taste and texture. Green and white teas have been considered to be more nutritious, but there are still many benefi ts to drink-

    ing almost all types of tea. Iced tea, on the other hand, is not real tea and is usually saturated with sugar and chemicals and should never be a replacement for real tea.

    One important benefi t of tea is improving eyesight. Eyes are very important organs of the body that are used every-day practically all day, so they are very prone to diseases. A study conducted by the Jour-nal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry demonstrated that some components of green tea help with strengthening the eye tissue. Most notably however, especially white tea, has shown to have many positive impacts

    on the skin by tightening the skin, preventing the formation of wrinkles, and promoting a healthy circulation of body fl u-ids throughout the system. Asthe obesity rates in the United States are rising, many people are looking for new ways tolose weight. Drinking tea is an easy, simple and delicious way to maintain a healthy weight. Green tea extracts have shown to infl uence fat formation onthe body and help its consum-ers stay in better shape.

    Next time you wake up feeling tired and dehydrated,consider adding tea to yourmorning meal and see all of its amazing benefi ts for yourself.

  • 3 7didnt like our options either, so I convinced him to at least check it out. It turned out to be a very nice, quaint hotel in the center of Key West (probably in one the best locations). Th e room was absolutely fi ne, and we could walk out onto a balcony that overlooked Duval St., one of the touristiest spots in Key West it looked a lot like New Orleanss French Quarter.

    Th e swimming pool, which I was not anxious to see, was somewhere in the back. Every man I encountered was fully and neatly dressed and extremely po-lite. If not for the odd pictures of drag queens on the wall, it would have looked just like any other hotel (if you did not visit the swimming pool). I fi t in well, as I was wearing my favorite shirt that just happened to be pink.

    Th ere is a life/investment les-son in this adventure. If you think about it, Alex and I capital-ized on homophobic arbitrage. We were not the only ones look-ing for a room that night. Th is was only hotel with a room that was showing up on Kayak or in any other search that evening. With the rooms disappearing fast, I know that there were some people who chose to drive back or sleep in the car rather than stay in that hotel.

    In investing you have oppor-tunities that open up because dogmatic investors say I dont do retail (or bankruptcies, or

    the list goes on). Ill be the fi rst to ad-mit that Im guilty of that, too. But oft en, opportunities are cre-ated because enough people say I dont do that. We are analyz-ing a company right now that will be del-isted because it has not fi led its fi nancials for two years. Enough investors have said I dont do delisted companies to create a sell-off and thus an opportunity in that stock.

    In early May I am going to Omaha for Buff etts annual meeting. I have yet to book my room. Th ere are no good rooms available right now; most were booked ten months ago. Usually, rooms show up a few days before the event, but Im not worried I can always count on homopho-bic arbitrage.

    As a person who scribbles on a semiconstant basis, I was curi-ous about Hemingways writing habits. He got up in the morn-ing and cranked out about 700 words a day. I have been getting up at 5 AM for the last month and a half to write. Th e only dif-ference between Hemingway and me is that he went fi shing and then drinking for the rest of the day while I drive the kids to school and then go to work. But I defi nitely see the benefi ts of writ-

    ing early in the morning. Now, on weekends I can spend time with the family, ski, and read.

    Th en we went to see the Little White House, the place where Harry Truman spent 175 days during his presidency. It is a relatively small house, consider-ing that a president spent a lot of his time there. It had previously been occupied by the superin-tendent of the navy base and was made available to the president when he wanted to get away from cold Washington, DC (this was before Camp David).

    I have never been to the White House, but I imagine you might get feelings similar to those I had at the Little White House. You start imagining all the impor-tant decisions that were made there and that changed the lives of millions. Did Truman decide to drop atomic bombs on Japan while he was there? (Unlikely that happened in August 1945,

    and he was in Key West only in wintertime.)

    Finally, we visited the Ship Wreck Museum. Th is was prob-ably the most interesting of the three. I learned that in the 1860s Key West was the wealthiest town in the US. It made money by salvaging ship wrecks. About a hundred ships sailed by Key West every day, but the island is surrounded by reefs, and a ship would wreck about once a week.

    Th ere were observation tow-ers all over Key West. When a wreck was spotted, the watch-man would call out the two words the populace of Key West most liked to hear: Wreck Ashore! Men would run to small boats and rush to the wreck. Th e fi rst boat that got there and helped the crew off the ship would be awarded the salvage fee.

    We were told a good diver could hold his breath for fi ve minutes. Th ey were scarce and

    in high demand and there-fore made $700 a month a lot of money in the 1860s. If you worked a month you could buy a house for $700. Most divers only lasted a few months, as div-ing through shipwrecks was ex-tremely dangerous.

    Once the cargo was salvagedit was stored in a warehouse and then auctioned usually forabout half of its original value. A judge would decide on the size of the salvage fee, which ranged be-tween 20-50% of the cargo value.Th e fee would be based on how far the ship was off the coast,how diffi cult it was to get to thecargo and retrieve it, etc. Salvage fees ranged in the ballpark of $20-50 thousand dollars.

    In the 1920s railroads started to steal market share from ship-ping, navigation got better, and Key West became just anotherresort town with a great all-malehotel.

    MOSCOW: ONE YEAR OF MAIDAN NOTHING TO BE PROUD OFFor the thousands of Russians

    gathered near Red Square on Sat-urday, Maidan the square in Kiev synonymous with pro-Euro-pean protests last year is noth-ing to celebrate.

    Maidan is a festival of death... Maidan is the smile of the Ameri-can ambassador who, sitting in his penthouse, is happy to see how brother is killing brother... Maidan is the concentration of everything anti-Russian... Maidan is the em-bryo of Goebbels, the organiz-ers of Russias new Anti-Maidan movement shouted from the stage.

    Demonstrators vowed that last years protests in Kiev cen-tered in the Maidan square which ultimately forced Ukaines pro-Russian president to fl ee on Feb. 21 would never be repeated in Russia.

    Maidan is the Ukrainian word for square and in com-mon usage refers to Maidan Neza-lezhnosti (Independence Square).

    Th e protesters in Moscow were an assortment of ultranationalist bikers, pensioners, war veterans, members of student organiza-tions and activists from other pro-Kremlin groups. Many of them waved Russian fl ags, others bore banners that said Die, America! or U$A, Stop the War!

    Police said that 35,000 people attended, though those numbers

    were impossible to verify inde-pendently.

    In the year since Ukraines transformation, anti-Western sentiment in Russia has spiked, largely over what many perceive as the Wests hand in fomenting the protests in Kiev in order to gain a foothold of control near Russia.

    Th e United States is the

    worlds biggest terrorist.... We be-lieve we can rise up again if they leave us alone, but they are always trying to teach us how to live, said 65-year-old Nina Kishkova, a retired teacher who was at the protest with her friend. Another Maidan will never win in Rus-sia. I will bring the ammunition myself.

    According to a poll conducted this month by the independent Levada Center, 81 percent of Rus-sians feel negatively about the United States the highest fi gure since the early 1990s and 71 percent feel negatively about the European Union.

    Th e number of Russians who dubbed relations between Russia and the U.S. as that of enemies leapt from 4 percent in January 2014 to 42 percent. Th e poll has a margin of error of about 3 per-centage points.

    Th ere has been no empire in history that did the kind of things

    to its colonies that America doesto the world today, said Alexan-der Zaldostanov, the leader of the pro-Kremlin Night Wolves biker gang widely known by his nick-name, the Surgeon.

    Th e anti-Western sentiment,sparked by the Wests wholeheart-ed backing of the protests in Kiev, has only deepened as the U.S. and the European Union have imposed sanctions on Russia for annexing the Ukrainian region of Crimea and for supporting the separatists fi ghting in east Ukraine.

    Th eres nothing new about anti-Western sentiments in Rus-sian society, the thing was to bring them to the fore, said Maria Lip-man, an independent analyst.People have said for a long time that the West is there to do harmto Russia.... Now this sounds likea self-fulfi lling prophecy becausenow the West is always discuss-ing how to punish Russia so thatit will hurt more.

    Could The UK Really Be Attacked By Russia?Christopher Morris

    Is military exercise a chilling forewarning of dramatic events to come?

    According to comments made by the former head of the Royal Air Force (RAF), Sir Michael Graydon, the UK could not sus-tain an attack from Russia. Other RAF personnel have also claimed that a Putin-led attack on the United Kingdom would com-pletely saturate the defenses of Britain. Th e comments come in the context of an incident which occurred on Th ursday, during which RAF Typhoon fi ghter jets were scrambled to intercept two Russian long-range bombers. Th is occurred just off the coast of the southern British county of Corn-wall.

    UK VulnerableRussia has naturally stated that

    the fl ight was simply a planned patrol, and that it has not violated any aspect of international law. Th e British prime minister, how-ever, was moved to comment that Russia was trying to make some sort of point, but other military personnel have suggested that the threat to the UK mainland is much more serious.

    Graydon stated in an interview with the British tabloid the Daily Mail that he doubted whether it would be possible for the UK to sustain a shooting war against Russia. He stated that the capa-bilities of the United Kingdom is roughly half what it was previous-ly, and that Russia was probably engaging in these reconnaissance missions in order to monitor the defenses in Britain.

    Th e former member of the RAF hierarchy went on to sug-gest that the mission Russia had engaged in probably revealed to them that the UK is by no means as sharp in this area as it once

    was. Graydon stated that it would be clear to the Russians that they knew they were engaged in a pro-vocative act, and that it could be a timely one from a Russian per-spective considering that Western air defense is relatively minimal compared to its past might.

    Other RAF personnel suggest-ed that the situation is even more grim. But are these fears actually based in reality, or is it completely ludicrous alarmism?

    BRIC World OrderTo understand the situation

    with Russia, it is fi rst important to familiarise ones self with the BRIC nations.

    On 16th June, 2009, in Yekat-erinburg, Russia the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India and China met for a conference that is now referred to as the BRIC summit. Th e acronym BRIC was fi rst used in a Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE: GS) thesis projecting that the economic potential of these nations is such that they will be ranked as four of the fi ve most dominant economies in the world by the year 2050. More on that later. Th e fi rst BRIC summit as with more secretive conferences

    such as Bilderberg set the agen-da for the group, so it is enlighten-ing to look at what was discussed. Reuters described the conference as seek [ing] global clout and discuss [ing] reform of the world fi nancial system.

    A joint statement released in advance of the conference stated that we, the leaders of the Feder-ative Republic of Brazil, the Rus-sian Federation, the Republic of India and the Peoples Republic of China, have discussed the current situation in the global economy and other pressing issues of global development, and also prospects for further strengthening col-laboration within the BRIC, at our meeting in Yekaterinburg on June 16, 2009.

    Since then there have been several BRIC meetings, and these are clearly intended to strengthen the infl uence of China and Rus-sia in the world, and with regard to existing fi nancial institutions, from which they feel excluded. Additionally, it is oft en proposed that the BRIC nations will attempt to set up their own fi nancial in-stitutions and central bank, and in accordance with this will ramp up the pressure on the United

    States and British economies and fi nancial-led infrastructure in the coming years.

    Th is has ensured that the United States and Britain, tradi-tional allies and trading partners, have become natural opponents to Russia and China in what is eff ectively a trading and fi nancial war. It has been asserted that the tumbling price of oil in recent months has been a calculated at-tack by fi nancial interests rooted in the United States to weaken the position of Russia, which is hugely reliant on oil and gas reserves.

    Russian RetaliationConsidering that Russia has

    just had eff ectively 60 percent of its mineral wealth wiped out, at least in market terms, it is per-haps natural that the Eastern European nation is feeling a little twitchy. What complicates the situation is that European nations in particular have been, and still are, very reliant on a Russian oil and gas exports (although that UK imports most of its oil from Norway).

    So such reconnaissance mis-sions as the one which David Cameron responded to could ef-fectively be viewed as a show of strength by Russia in the context of an aggressive economic situa-tion. But do British people actual-ly have anything to worry about in terms of the physical threat from Russia, or will this war be played out in fi nancial markets and other economic theaters?

    Follow the MoneyOf course, economics and war-

    fare are inextricably linked, and one should never underestimate the infl uence of the former on the latter. But although what the former RAF personnel are stating about Britains air defenses may very well be accurate, one has to

    understand that Britain is the ma-jor ally of the united states, and any such attack on the mainland of Britain is pretty much unthink-able.

    One has to bear in mind thateven during the height of theCold War, which necessitated ahuge amount of tension by its very nature, along with massivedistrust and rhetorical confl ict,the Soviet Union still do not come close to attacking the mainland of the United States. It must be saidin mitigation that the Cuban Mis-sile Crisis nearly led to the utterly disastrous prospect of a full-scale nuclear war, but no matter how hawkish the Soviet Union be-came there was no prospect of itever attacking the mainland of the United States or one of its ma-jor allies, as it knew that it wouldbe completely obliterated.

    While many people, including your humble author, bemoan the existence of nuclear weapons, itcan be argued that they have con-tributed to the relatively uneasy peace between Russia and theUnited States. Both have acted ag-gressively at times, but the poten-tial consequences of a full-scale confl ict have arguably played a part in dissuading such an unat-tractive proposition. Th e UnitedStates will never attack Russia because it has 8,000 nuclear weap-ons. By the same token, Russiawill not dabble with a serious ally of the United States for exactly the same reason.

    Military men such as Graydonhave a tendency to see things inrather blinkered terms, and much though this former RAF head is painting a negative picture of thesituation, where Russia to actually carry out what he is suggesting then the consequences would beconsiderably more serious than he implies or seems to under-stand.

    Rise of the Fembots: Why Artificial Intelligence Is Often FemaleTanya Lewis

    From Apples iPhone assistant Siri to the mechanized atten-dants at Japans fi rst robot-staff ed hotel, a seemingly dispropor-tionate percentage of artifi cial intelligence systems have female personas. Why?

    I think there is a pattern here, said Karl Fredric Mac-Dorman, acomputer scientist and expert in human-computer interaction at Indiana Universi-ty-Purdue University Indianapo-lis. But I dont know that theres one easy answer, MacDorman told Live Science.

    One reason for the glut of fe-male artifi cial intelligences (AIs) and androids (robots designed to look or act like humans) may be that these machines tend to per-form jobs that have traditionally been associated with women. For example, many robots are designed to function as maids, personal assistants or museum guides, MacDorman said. In addition, many of the engineers who design these machines are men, and I think men fi nd women attractive, and women are also OK dealing with wom-

    en, he added.Voice of Siri

    Siri is perhaps todays most well-known example of AI. Th e name Siri in Norse means a beautiful woman who leads you to victory, and the default voice is a female American per-sona known as Samantha. Apple acquired Siri in 2010 from the research nonprofi t SRI Interna-tional, an Apple spokeswoman said. Siris voice now comes in male or female form, and can be set to a number of diff erent lan-guages.

    In his own research, Mac-Dorman studies how men and women react to voices of dif-ferent genders. In one study, he and his colleagues played clips of male and female voices, and gave people a questionnaire about which voice they preferred. Th en

    the researchers gave people a test that measured their implicit, or subconscious, preferences. Th e men in the study reported that they preferred female voices, but they showed no implicit pref-erence for them, whereas the women in the study implicitly preferred female voices to male ones, even more than they ad-mitted in the questionnaire.

    I think theres a stigma for males to prefer males, but there isnt a stigma for females to pre-fer females, MacDorman said.Rise of the fembots

    Does the same trend to-ward female personas also exist among humanoid robots?

    When it comes to a disem-bodied voice, the chances of it being female are probably slight-ly higher than of it being male, said Kathleen Richardson, a so-cial anthropologist at University College London, in England, and author of the book An Anthro-pology of Robots and AI: Anni-hilation Anxiety and Machines (Routledge, 2015). But when it comes to making something ful-ly humanoid, its almost always male

    And when humanoid robots are female, they tend to be mod-eled aft er attractive, subservient young women, Richardson told Live Science.

    For example, the Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University has designed some of the worlds most ad-vanced androids, such as the Re-pliee R1, which was based on his then 5-year-old daughter. Ishig-uro also developed the Repliee Q1Expo, which was modeled aft er Ayako Fujii, a female news announcer at NHK, Japans na-tional public broadcasting orga-nization. (Ishiguro even created a robotic clone of himself that is so realistic it verges on creepy.)

    Recently, Ishiguro developed a series of Actroid robots, manufactured by the Japanese robotics company Kokoro, for the worlds fi rst robot-staff ed ho-tel. According to Th e Telegraph, the droids which resemble young Japanese women will act as reception attendants, wait-resses, cleaners and cloakroom attendants.

    Female AI personas can also be found in fi ction. For example,

    the movie Her features an ar-tifi cial intelligent operating sys-tem (incidentally named Saman-tha), who is seductively voiced by Scarlett Johansson. Her hu-man owner, played by Joaquin Phoenix, ends up falling in lovewith her.

    What does this trend in cre-ating attractive, fl awless femalerobots say about society?

    I think that probably refl ectswhat some men think aboutwomen that theyre not fully human beings, Richardson said. Whats necessary aboutthem can be replicated, but whenit comes to more sophisticatedrobots, they have to be male.

    Another reason for having fe-male robots could be that wom-en are perceived as less threaten-ing or more friendly than men,Richardson said. And the same could be said of childlike robots.

    Hollywoods vision of robots,such as in Th e Terminator andTh e Matrix movies, makes them seem scary. But if we de-signed robots to be like children, we could get people to be more comfortable with them, Rich-ardson said.

    Ready for Takeoff? New Rules Would Limit Some Uses for DronesMegan Gannon

    Th e Obama administration has announced a much-antici-pated set of rules to govern the use of commercial drones in the United States. But the proposed regulations would restrict some parts of the burgeoning industry notably, drone delivery ser-vices, like the one being tested by Amazon.

    Under the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) pro-posal, released Sunday (Feb. 15), drones up to 55 lbs. (25 ki-lograms) would be able to fl y up to 100 mph (160 km/h), up to an altitude of 500 feet (150 meters).

    Th ose small, unmanned air-craft would only be able to fl y during the day and in the line of sight of the operator. Drone op-erators, who must be 17 or older, would also have to pass a written test and be vetted by the Trans-portation Security Administra-tion, FAA offi cials said

    Weve been waiting a long time for these rules to come out, said Helen Greiner, co-founder of iRobot and current CEO of CyPhy Works, a robot-ics company that makes small tethered drones.

    No longer just associated with military operations, drones have the potential to monitor

    wildlife, explore archaeological sites, inspect buildings, shoot aerial video, conduct search-and-rescue operations and spray crops with fertilizers, among a broad range of commercial and scientifi c applications. Venture capital investments in the drone industry topped $108 million last year, according to the CB In-sights database. But drone devel-opers have been stuck in regula-tory limbo for years, as the FAA had banned the commercial use of unmanned aerial systems, or UAS, until it could fi gure out a set of rules for the industry.

    Now, with the new set of regu-lations, engineers will fi nally have a framework to work with when they are designing products, and investors will know what theyre getting into when they put mon-ey into drone companies, Grein-er told Live Science.

    Th e new rules, however, would restrict some of the more ambitious uses of drones.

    I dont want to look a gift horse in the mouth, said Missy Cummings, a former fi ghter pi-lot who is now the director of the Humans and Autonomy Lab at Duke University. Its a good fi rst start, but its still holding back big segments of the indus-try.

    One specifi c problem with the regulations as they stand is the line-of-sight requirement, Cummings told Live Science. Th at rule means a person oper-ating a drone must be able to see it, which not only eliminates the possibility of package delivery drones, but also defeats a major potential benefi t of unmanned aircraft : the ability to send drones to places that are inac-cessible to people.

    Th at line-of-sight require-ment would rule out the use of drones to inspect pipelines over vast oil fi elds in Alaska. (Th e FAA did grant one drone company approval last summer to conduct surveys for BP on an oil fi eld in Alaskas North Slope, the fi rst in a handful of exemp-tions to the agencys ban on commercial drones.) Th e rule would also prohibit building inspections that involve fl ying a drone around and behind a smokestack or using a drone for

    search and rescue in the woods, said Brendan Schulman, an at-torney and expert in drone policy.

    As technology improves, it seems to me that that restric-tion will need to be relaxed in order to enable some very valu-able drone applications, particu-larly for autonomous systems, Schulman told Live Science in an email.

    Under the new rules, Ama-zon wouldnt be able to operate Prime Air 30-minutes-or-less drone delivery service the company is developing in the United States.

    Th e FAA needs to begin and expeditiously complete the for-mal process to address the needs of our business, and ultimately our customers, Paul Misener, Amazon vice president for glob-al policy, said in a statement.

    We are committed to realiz-ing our vision for Prime Air and are prepared to deploy where we have the regulatory support we need, Misener added. In a let-ter to FAA regulators in Decem-ber, Misener said that Amazon was already conducting outdoor tests of its Prime Air system in countries with regulatory envi-ronments more supportive of drone innovation.

    Greiner said it might makesense for the FAA to restrict drone delivery systems for now because no one has proven wecould do it yet. But, she added,the FAA could do more to allow companies to test these experi-mental systems on private prop-erty within the United States.

    Th e FAAs rules likely wont become law for at least anotheryear, and the agency will post its proposal in the Federal Register, welcoming public comment for60 days. Th e FAA specifi cally has asked for industry leadersto weigh in on whether the rulesshould permit drone fl ights be-yond the operators line of sightand, if so, what the appropriatelimits should be.

    We have tried to be fl exiblein writing these rules, FAAAdministrator Michael Huertasaid in a statement. We wantto maintain todays outstanding level of aviation safety withoutplacing an undue regulatory burden on an emerging indus-try.

    Separately, the White Housereleased a presidential memo addressing privacy issues con-cerning drones; it notably prom-ised transparency about when and where domestic drone mis-sions fl y.

    Why Its So Freakin Cold: Heres the ScienceLaura Geggel

    As if the outdoors werent harsh enough with Boston bur-ied under ungodly amounts of snow and the rest of the North-east unable to shake the bitter cold, more winter weather is on

    the way. So whats behind this extreme chill?

    Parts of the United States are expected to have historic lows this week, as temperatures in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and central Appalachians may

    drop to the coldest theyve been since the mid-1990s, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

    Get ready for an even more impressive surge of Arctic air later this week as another cold

    front drops south from Cana-da, the NWS said in a state-ment.

    Th at Arctic air in the form of a polar vortex eddy is dropping temperatures with a burst of bit-terly cold air, the NWS said.

    Th e freezing weather is partof a weather pattern that began last year, when the polar vor-tex, a system of cold air swirl-ing around the Arctic, beganpushing cold air into the UnitedStates. Th is pattern continued

    on and off throughout the sum-mer, explaining the cooler tem-peratures in the eastern United States, said Bob Oravec, a fore-caster at the National Weather Service.

    Th is cold weather can take hold, thanks to fl ows in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere that travel from northwest to southeast.

    Th ey form at diff erent times of the year, and they tend to go farther south during the win-ter, Oravec said. Right now, we have that favorable weather pattern a northwest fl ow

    from Alaska across a big part of Canada into the United States.

    He called it one of the more persistently cold winters in the United States. Especially this month, the temperature anomalies are way below aver-age across a big part of the cen-tral to eastern United States, Oravec said.

    Highs in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and central Appala-chians will likely stay below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 6 degrees Celsius) for much of today (Feb. 19) and Friday, and overnight lows may dip below 0

    degrees F (minus 17 degrees C) in some places. A wind chill ad-visory is also in eff ect for these places, the NWS said.Why Boston has record snow

    A separate repeating weather system is to blame for the record snow levels in Boston and other parts of New England. [Weirdo Weather: 7 Rare Meteorological Events]

    Boston is now in the top two or three snowiest winters, said David Roth, a meteorologist at the National Weather Services Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland. Im pretty sure parts of Maine are getting there, too.

    Similar weather conditions that support the polar vortex are pushing cold air toward New England. Th is winter, theyve been sweeping across or south of the Great Lakes, been com-ing off the East Coast and then strengthening as ocean storms, Roth said.

    Southern New England falls right in its path, so you end up having this big comma head of snow that ends up falling over the region, Roth said. Th ats

    usually good for a foot [0.3 me-ters] or so of snow.

    In warmer seasons, the same weather pattern would likely cause rain and thunderstorms.

    Th e storm system will con-tinue to repeat until another storm or weather system chang-es it, he added. For instance, coastal storms can drag weather systems north or northeast, he said.

    Many New Englanders are looking forward to a break from the snow. Th eyve had four signifi cant snowstorms since Th anksgiving, amounting to 96.3 inches (245 centimeters) of snow accumulation at Logan Airport, according to the NWS. Th e average snowfall for this time of year is 30.2 in (77 cm). Th e average for large snowfalls in 2015, some of which last two days, is almost 20 inches, the NWS found.

    Th e rest of February will be cold in the eastern United States, the NWS predicts. From Feb. 24 to Feb. 28 the NWS has predict-ed that the eastern half of the country will have below-normal temperatures, and the West

    Coast will have above-normal temperatures.

    But the days are getting lon-ger as winter nears its end.

    No matter where you are in the eastern United States, the averages are coming up, Rothsaid. Th e local sun angle is coming up each day. Youre get-ting longer days.Climate change

    Its unclear whether climatechange is a factor behind thefreezing weather, as its diffi cultto link any individual weatherevent to climate change, said Matthew Rosencrans, a me-teorologist with the NationalWeather Service.

    Instead, researchers look at theconglomeration of many of those events over time to calculate cli-mate change, Rosencrans said.

    In fact, average global tem-peratures were above averagefor the month of January, and theyve been consistently abovenormal for the past eight to 10 years, he said.

    In the future, climate changemay lead to more extreme weather conditions, such as thisfrigid winter, he added.

    Cities Birth More Thunderstorms Than Rural AreasBecky Oskin

    Hate thunderstorms? Atlanta may not be for you, as scientists recently found such hot-and-humid metros in the Southeast can birth more summer thun-derstorms than rural areas.

    In the study, researchers marked the location of every thunderstorm born in northern Georgia and northeastern Ala-bama during a 17-year period. Th ere were nearly 26,000 thun-derstorms detected between 1997 and 2013. Th e region the city of Atlanta, as well as country hayfi elds and pastures.

    Th e was a 5 percent greater chance that thunderstorms

    would pop up over Atlanta com-pared with the citys surround-ing rural areas, the researchers found.

    Per year, that amounts to two or three more thunderstorms of the pop-up variety, lead study author Alex Haberlie, a graduate

    student at Northern Il-linois University (NIU), said in a statement. Pop-up thunderstorms can appear separately from larger storm systems and are more diffi cult to fore-cast, Haberlie said.

    Th e storm risk was greatest for urban and suburban Atlanta in the

    late aft ernoon and early evening during July and August, accord-ing to the study, published Jan. 7 in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society.

    Th is study presents the fi rst evidence that urban areas birth or initiate thunderstorms more

    oft en than the surrounding rural areas on a climatological times-cale, study co-author Walker Ashley, an NIU meteorology professor, said in the statement.

    Th e fi ndings would likely hold up in similar hot-and-humid Southern cities, such as Nashville, Tennessee, and Bir-mingham, Alabama, Haberlie said. For example, earlier stud-ies have documented that many large cities experienced heavier rainfall than surrounding rural areas. But there are several ways that local factors could control weather patterns over metropol-itan areas, the researchers said. Here are some examples:

    Pollution: Th understorm births were signifi cantly higheron weekdays than on weekenddays, the study researchers re-ported. Th is suggests higher pol-lution levels within the city may play a role. (Rural areas showed no signifi cant weekday-weekenddiff erences.)

    Th e heat island eff ect: Th econcrete jungle produces heat, oft en making cities 2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 3 degrees Cel-sius) hotter than the surround-ing countryside. Th is extra heat means low pressure can form atopurban areas, with higher pressurein rural areas, sparking convection that can trigger thunderstorms.

    Natural Disasters: Top 10 U.S. ThreatsGovernment offi cials are

    evaluating and revising disaster plans around the United States in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, just as they did aft er the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. While war and automobiles kill more people than nature, fi nd out what natu-ral disasters top scientists worry lists.

    Total Destruction of EarthOkay, so nobody is spend-

    ing too much time worrying about what to do if the planet is annihilated, but at least one person has seriously pondered whether and when it could hap-pen. From being sucked into a black hole to being blown up by an antimatter reaction, there are scientifi cally plausible risks of an event that would render this whole list moot.

    Gulf Coast TsunamiA fault line in the Caribbean

    has generated deadly tsunamis before. Up to 35 million people could be threatened by one in the not-to-distant future, scien-tists say.

    East Coast TsunamiIt seems no coast is immune

    to the threat of tsunami. For the Eastern United States, the likeli-est scenario is waves kicked up by an asteroid splashing into the ocean. Astronomers already have their eye on one rock that could hit in the distant future, but the cosmos could hold a sur-prise, too.

    Heat WavesHeat waves kill more U.S.

    residents than any other natu-ral disaster. As many as 10,000 people have died in past events. As urban areas get hotter, elec-tricity systems are strained and the population ages, the risk grows.

    Midwest EarthquakeIt has been nearly two centu-

    ries since a series of three mag-nitude-8 quakes shook the then-sparsely populated Midwest, centered near New Madrid, Mis-souri. Another big one is inevi-table. Now the region is heavily populated, yet building codes are generally not up to earthquake snuff . What? s more, geology east of the Rockies causes quakes to be felt across a much wider re-gion. Shelves would rattle from Boston to South Carolina. Some homes along the Mississippi would sink into oblivion.

    SupervolcanoIt probably wont happen for

    hundreds or possibly even mil-lions of years, but nobody re-ally knows when Yellowstone will blow again, destroying life for hundreds of miles around and burying half the country in ash up to 3 feet (1 meter) deep.

    Los Angeles TsunamiNational Oceanic and At-

    mospheric Administration (NOAA) An earthquake fault just off Southern Califor-nia could generate a major quake and a $42 billion tsu-nami that would strike so fast many coastal residents would not have time to escape. Add to that the unprecedented destruction from the earth-quakes shaking, and the situ-ation would be reminiscent of Hurricane Katrina.

    Asteroid ImpactScientists cant say when the

    next devastating asteroid impact will occur. Odds are it wont be for decades or centuries, but an unknown space rock could make a sucker punch any time. Many experts say planning to deal with a continent-wide catastrophe should begin now.

    New York HurricaneMajor hurricanes have made

    direct hits on the boroughs be-fore, but the interval between them is so long that people forget,and offi cials fear they might not take evacuation orders seriously. Th e larger problem: It would take nearly 24 hours to make a proper evacuation of New York City, buthurricanes move more swift ly as they race north, so real warning time could be just a few hours.

    Pacifi c Northwest Megathrust Earthquake

    Geologists know its just a mat-ter of time before another 9.0 orlarger earthquake strikes some-where between Northern Cali-fornia and Canada. Th e shaking would be locally catastrophic, butthe biggest threat is the tsunamithat would ensue from a fault linethats seismically identical to the one that caused the deadly 2004 tsunami in Indonesia.

    Achieve Fit Living With a Holistic Approach

    Could it be that taking a ho-listic approach to your and your childrens health may be a way to go? According to a variety of ex-perts, the answer is Yes.

    In fact, many experts believe that the big-picture view of fi t living that is, more than just

    getting enough ex-ercise can actually help improve your overall quality of life. Among the latest to weigh in are Inter-net medical heavy-weight WebMD and Sanford Health, which recently un-veiled their Raising Fit Kids informa-

    tional guide that gives a plethora of ideas on how families can work together to make positive behavioral changes in all aspects of their lives.

    Being fi t is about being healthy, says Dr. Chris Tiong-son, a pediatrician with Sanford

    Health who focuses on child-hood obesity. Its a balance be-tween mind, body and spirit, and having everything be in sync.

    Its this balance having ev-erything in sync that has long been advocated by doctors of chiropractic the nations third largest primary health care pro-fession. Chiropractors, with their focus on the structure and function of the body, have un-derstood what it takes to be in sync for over a century. Th ey not only provide non-invasive relief from neck and back pain, but are also trained in a wide range of conservative care and preventive services centered around lifestyle advice and nu-

    trition.A holistic approach to fi t liv-

    ing presents a great opportunity to improve overall health and well-being for a lifetime, says Gerard Clum, DC, of the not-for-profi t Foundation for Chi-ropractic Progress. At the top of every chiropractors tip list:

    Take steps to manage stress and practice relaxation tech-niques.

    Make time for daily exercise or physical activity of some kind get moving.

    Highlight whole grains, fruits and vegetables in your diet.

    Maintain a healthy weight. Replace sugary and diet

    drinks with water.

    Th ink positive and adopt anoptimistic attitude.

    Improve your sitting andstanding posture.

    Need more to persuade you? Th e inclusion of chiropracticcare, with its focus on structuralwell-being and neurological in-terity, with lifestyle changes of a holistic nature can help avoidmany of the chronic conditionsthat develop with time, says Dr. Clum. Small, incrementalchanges today can yield healthbenefi ts that last for decades.

    5 Easy Tips for Taking Care of Your Heart

    (NewsUSA) Northern Cali-fornia native June Auld, 76, leads a very full life. Aside from her day job as a mental health profes-sional, she can be found, with her husband, Glenn, cooking for the homeless, providing foster care to guide dogs or taking walks

    around their neigh-borhood.

    It was during one of those full days that Auld began ex-periencing extreme discomfort in her chest. She and her husband went to the emergency de-partment at Kaiser Permanente San Rafael Medical Cen-

    ter, where doctors immediately began running tests. Doctors confi rmed that Auld had experi-enced a heart attack, and placed a stent in a blocked artery.

    Aulds decision to seek imme-diate care at Kaiser Permanente not only saved her life, but saved

    her from having to undergo more complicated treatment.

    Th e care Kaiser Permanente gave me was fantastic, Auld said. Th e day aft er I got home, I did my walk like I had never had a heart problem, and Ive never had any pain or discomfort since.

    Show your heart some love now and throughout the rest of your life with these fi ve simple, healthy aging tips from Marc Jaff e, M.D., clinical leader, Kaiser Permanente Northern Califor-nia Cardiovascular Risk Reduc-tion Program.

    How to keep your heart strong:

    1. Be sweet. Instead of choco-late, try blueberries or strawber-ries. Th ese heart-healthy treats

    are fi lled with natural antioxi-dants that can help keep your arteries open.

    2. Move to the beat. Grab a partner and do some fancy foot-work. Any activity that gets you moving like dancing or walk-ing can help increase blood circulation, reduce stress and protect your heart.

    3. Do your thing. Activities like painting, writing, yoga and meditation can help slow your heart and breathing rates and lower your blood pressure, all of which are good for your body and your heart.

    4. Avoid tobacco. If you smoke, join a tobacco-cessation program to help you quit, and talk to your doctor about medi-

    cations that can help increaseyour chances of kicking the habit. If you dont smoke, avoid-ing secondhand smoke may also help protect your heart, lungsand blood vessels.

    5. Maintain a healthy weight.If you are overweight, losing as little as 10 pounds can make adiff erence and lower your risk of heart problems.

    Living a healthy lifestyle canhelp your heart stay strong, so you can live and love for years to come. See a video about Aulds sto-ry on the Kaiser Permanente Care Stories blog. For more informa-tion about Kaiser Permanente and heart care, visit kp.org. For ques-tions or advice about a specifi ccondition, talk to your physician.

    For Whiplash Sufferers, Chiropractic Care Can Be Beneficial

    One of the most common injuries from a car accident is

    whiplash and any-one who has experi-enced it knows fi rst hand that it can be even more painful than watching a C-SPAN hearing on waste management.

    But its not just about the immediate pain, because this in-jury aff ects the soft tis-

    sues of the neck caused by the sud-den jerking or whipping of the

    head, which can also destabilize the spine and leave you with severe, long-term pain if left untreated.

    It can take anywhere from hours to months for symptoms to present themselves, but they may include:

    Blurred vision Headaches Neck, arm, shoulder and

    low-back pain Dizziness Reduced range of motion in

    the neck

    Since the integrity of your spine isnt something you want to gamble with, many health professionals recommend seek-ing chiropractic care at the fi rst sign of one or more of the above indicators.

    Chiropractors are specially trained to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries like whiplash, said Gerard Clum, DC, of the not-for-profi t Foun-dation for Chiropractic Progress.

    Treatments aimed at what

    has been described as restor-ing the body center on mak-ing necessary adjustments tospine alignment and may also include massage or soft -tissuetechniques.

    Th e best part of going to achiropractor for pain relief fromwhiplash? Its eff ective while be-ing completely drug-free, saidDr. Clum.

    How Will Individual Shared Responsibility Affect Your Tax Return?

    (NewsUSA) Unless youve been way out of touch, you prob-ably know that a key part of the Aff ordable Care Act (ACA) re-quires that taxpayers have quali-fying health care coverage. Th ose without will need to qualify for an exemption, or pay a penalty. Th is Individual Shared Responsibility provision applies to both individu-als and families. So, while prepar-ing your tax return this year, here are some things you ought to know.

    If in 2014, you, your spouse and everyone else on your tax return (dependents) had mini-mum essential coverage, which includes most employer-spon-sored plans, as well as programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and insurance purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace, youre in fi ne shape. Just check the appropri-ate box that says you are insured for the full year. If there were

    months that someone on your return had no coverage, that per-son needs to qualify for an ex-emption or pay a penalty.

    To qualify for an exemption, one of the following situations must exist:

    * Th e individual does not have access to aff ordable coverage because the minimum annual premium available is more than eight percent of the household income.

    * Th e gap in coverage existed for less than three months.

    * Th e individual qualifi es for other exemptions that include a hardship or being a member of a group that is exempt from health

    coverage (for example, incarcer-ated inmates or members of a fed-erally recognized Indian tribe) .

    Without coverage or an ex-emption, youll have to pay a penalty for each month you were not insured. Th is penalty is cal-culated and reported on your tax return. In general, the payment amount is the greater of 1 per-cent of your household income over the fi ling threshold for your fi ling status, or $95 per person ($47.50 per person under 18 years old). Th is caps at a family maximum of $285 for 2014.

    Youll owe half the annual pay-ment for each month you or anoth-er person on your return doesnt

    have either qualifying health care or an exemption. Sound compli-cated? Taxes are. Th ats why so many taxpayers are thrilled to turn their taxes over to a paid preparer.

    If thats your plan this year, becareful to make sure your pre-parer is licensed and required tocomplete continuing educationto keep up with the changing tax code. Enrolled agents (EAs) are licensed by the U. S. Depart-ment of Treasury, must pass an exam administered by IRS and complete IRS-approved continu-ing education. You can trust yourtaxes to an EA locate one inyour area on the searchable Findan EA database at www.naea.org.

  • 3Stephen Hawking: Human Aggression Could Destroy Us AllTanya Lewis

    Stephen Hawking may be get-ting some Hollywood love for Th e Th eory of Everything, a

    biopic about his life that earned actor Eddie Redmayne the best

    actor Oscar at last nights Acad-emy Awards. But that hasnt stopped the world-famous phys-icist from issuing yet another warning about humanitys im-pending doom.

    Human aggression threatens to destroy us all, Hawking said during a tour of Londons Science Museum last week. Th e remark was in response to a question about what human shortcom-ings he would most like to alter. Hawking suff ers from a neuro-logical disease similar to Lou

    Gehrigs disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

    A major nuclear war would be the end of civilization and possibly the human race, the Cambridge University professor said. Hawking called for greater empathy, and added that human space exploration is necessary as life insurance for humanity

    Th e human failing I would most like to correct is aggres-sion, Hawking said, according to the Daily Mail. It may have had survival advantage in cave-

    man days, to get more food, ter-ritory or partner with whom to reproduce, but now it threatens to destroy us all.

    Th e warning comes as the lat-est in a long list of cautions Hawk-ing has issued. In January, Hawk-ing signed an open letter warning of the dangers of artifi cial intel-ligence (AI). Last December, he told the BBC that the develop-ment of full artifi cial intelligence could end the human race. (Th e warning was in response to a question about a new AI-powered

    upgrade to the voice synthesizer he uses to communicate.)

    In 2010, Hawking warnedthat if intelligent alien life exists,it might not be friendly towardhumans. Advanced aliens may instead be nomads, hoping to conquer and colonize any planetwithin reach, Hawking said ina Discovery Channel televisionseries about his work to explore the secrets of the universe. Forthis reason, Hawking has alsowarned against trying to contactaliens.

    Fight, Fight, Fight: The History of Human AggressionCharles Q. Choi

    Th e Evolution of FightingTh e use of weapons may date

    back well before the rise of hu-manity, given evidence that even

    our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees, can use spears to hunt other primates. To see how fi ghting evolved from hand-to-hand combat to world war, here are 10 major innovations that revolutionized combat.Th e Arrow

    Th e earliest hints of arrows found yet bone points from Sibudu Cave in South Africa suggest these weapons might date back more than 60,000 years. Th e bow and arrow revo-lutionized warfare by enabling one to launch attacks from a distance with far less risk to the attacker. Although the cross-bow oft en superseded hand bows in medieval armies since it took less training to use and could have greater penetrating power, in the right hands the longbow could achieve a faster shooting rate for devastating eff ect, as the battles of Crecy

    in 1346 and Agincourt in 1415 revealed. Aft er millennia of use, the advent of fi rearms eventu-ally made the arrow obsolete in war.Th e Horse

    More than once, horses changed the face of world his-tory. Th e strong backs of horses helped carry medieval knights in heavy armor, and their swift legs helped Alexander the Great to conquer most of the world as he knew it and the Mongols to forge the largest contiguous empire in the history of the world. Th eir extraordinary capabilities of cav-alry led to the evolution of long spears that could ward them off , such as the sarissa of the Mace-donians or the pikes of the Swiss and the Scots.Th e Sail

    In myth, the sail is what re-ally launched a thousand ships of Greeks to fi ght against Troy. In addition to bringing soldiers to distant shores for war, battles and disasters at sea have been pivotal in the course of world events, such as the Battle of Sa-lamis, where the Greeks defeated a much larger invading Persian fl eet, and the failed invasions of Japan by two Mongol fl eets, which storms dubbed kamikaze or divine wind destroyed. Th e Age of Sail saw bitter confl ict be-tween rising empires as well as pirates hunting for profi ts. Th e history of naval warfare contin-

    ues today with warships and sub-marines.Armor

    At the Battle of Th ermopylae, heavy armor helped the greatly outnumbered Greek phalanxes to hold off the lightly armed Per-sian infantry over three days of battle. Th e evolution of war has oft en been driven by the contest between arms and armor, lead-ing to extraordinary develop-ments such as the full plate steel armor of Europe. Nowadays personal armor can help stop bullets, and future advances in nanotechnology could lead to armor that absorbs energy from blast waves, deforming in a way similar to crumple zones in cars.Engineers

    In myth, the city of Troy was renowned for its impenetrable walls, and the castles, moats, drawbridges, porticullises and other fortifi cations that defend-ed settlements and camps in an-cient times as well as the cata-pults, tunnels and other means used to overcome them relied on military engineers. Th e mili-tary engineers of the ancient Ro-mans perhaps the worlds fi rst dedicated force of these special-ists created many roads that have survived to the modern day, and the Great Wall of China, built to help protect the empires northern border, has stood for centuries. Nowadays, military engineers also set up and clear

    minefi elds and construct and destroy bridges.Gunpowder

    Gunpowder changed the rules of war. Cannons and explosives were far more eff ective than prior weapons of siege, blowing away many traditional fortifi -cations. Firearms rendered old suits of armor obsolete. Artillery helped Napoleon conquer most of Europe and changed the face of naval warfare. Machine guns enabled devastatingly high rates of fi re, smashing massed infan-try. In antiquity, the Chinese used gunpowder in fi re arrows against Mongol hordes in what may be the earliest known use of rockets in battle. Even now, in-creasingly deadlier fi rearms are under development.Th e Engine

    Th e engine has transformed the face of warfare, from the early days of steam locomotive troop transports to future elec-tric or hybrid engines loft ing up stealthy airborne robots. It has allowed the creation of tanks, subs, planes, warships, copters and robots, drastically chang-ing military tactics and strategy, and led to trucks, jeeps, humvees and armored personnel carriers to transport infantry, supplies and equipment, greatly increas-ing their mobility. Th e invention of the airplane also enabled the development of airborne forces that can be deployed behind ene-

    my lines, for critical eff ect during the Allied invasion of Normandy and for the modern covert inser-tion of special operations forces.Radio

    Th e radio has completely revolutionized warfare, help-ing control large numbers of personnel, vehicles andnowadays, missiles and robots over great distances. Radio helped soldiers and later sat-ellites and robots report back observations of the enemy. Itallowed the broadcast of pro-paganda to help drive supportfor war eff orts, and once Allied forces cracked the Enigma code system, radio enabled them to eavesdrop on Nazi military communications. Radio also led to radar, which helped detect re-mote opponents and targets and is oft en credited with helping Royal Air Force win the Battle of Britain against the much largerGerman air force during WorldWar II. In turn, this the powerof radar has driven advances instealth aircraft and electronicwarfare.Nuclear Weapons

    Aft er the fi rst atom bomb inhistory, dubbed the gadget, was detonated in 1945 at the Trinity Site near Alamogordo,N.M., physicist J. Robert Oppen-heimer thought of a line fromthe Hindu scripture the Bhaga-vad Gita: I am become Death,the destroyer of worlds

    Stone Age Skull Reveals Astonishing Human DiversityTia Ghose

    A partial human skull found at a site in Kenya suggests early humans living in Africa were incredibly diverse.

    Th e 22,000-year-old skull is not a new species and is clearly that of an anatomically mod-ern human, but is markedly diff erent from similar fi nds from Africa and Europe from the same time, the researchers said.

    It looks like nothing else, and so it shows that original diversity that weve since lost, said study co-author Christian Tryon, a Paleolithic archaeolo-gist at Harvard Universitys Pea-body Museum in Cambridge,

    Massachusetts. Its probably an extinct lineage.

    Th e same site also contained deposits that are more than twice as old as the skull, includ-ing 46,000-year-old ostrich egg-shells that were used to make beads. Th e new fi nds could re-veal insights about the shift s in human culture that took place starting when the ancestors of present-day humans left Africa, around 50,000 years ago.Mysterious period

    About 12,000 years ago, hu-mans began farming, living in denser settlements and burying their dead, so skeletons young-er than that are plentiful, said Stanley Ambrose, an African archaeologist and paleoanthro-

    pologist at the University of Il-linois at Urbana-Champaign, who was not involved in the study.

    But relatively little is known about the people who came before them. Only a handful of human burials around the world date from about 12,000 to 30,000 years ago, Ambrose said.

    To learn more about this lost period of human history, Tryon and his colleagues took a sec-ond look at specimens that were sitting in the collections of the National Museums of Kenya in Nairobi. Th e artifacts were unearthed in the 1970s at rock shelters at Lukenya Hill, a gran-ite promontory that overlooks the savanna in Kenya.

    Among the fi nds was the top portion of an ancient skull. Th e team took several mea-surements of the skull, then compared it with skulls from Neanderthals, several other fos-sil human skulls from the same time and other periods, as well as those of modern-day hu-mans.

    Th ough the skull clearly be-longed to a Homo sapien who was anatomically modern, its dimensions were markedly dif-ferent from those of both the European skull and the African skulls from the same time. In addition, the skull was thick-ened, either from damage, nu-tritional stress or a highly active childhood. (Th ere is not enough

    evidence to say the fossil repre-sents a subspecies of Homo sa-pien, Tryon said.)

    By measuring the ratio of radioactive isotopes of carbon(or carbon atoms with diff er-ent numbers of neutrons), theteam concluded that the skull was about 22,000 years old.Th at means the ancient human would have lived during the height of the last ice age.

    Modern-day Africans have greater genetic diversity thanother populations. But the new fi ndings suggest that during thisearly period of human history, Africa may have supported even greater human diversity, withsmall, off shoot lineages that no longer exist today, Tryon said.
