#HeadlineTherapy Why Tesla’s Cybertruck Failed, and What We’ll Remember it for.

Thanks to Dave Mc Quilling and AutoNotion Online for the Headline.

Elon Musk’s Cybertruck will no longer be produced, it has been taken off sale even before the pre-orders have been fulfilled.

The Cybertruck was an expensive buy for anyone who did manage to get hold of one anywhere between $60,000 and $100,000 not quite McClaren prices but maybe a bit steep for the blue collar go anywhere do anything target customers. Particularly when they needed to buy a large and heavy range extender to reach the promised over 500miles mileage .This kit took up significant room in the space which should have been used for transporting goods, which by definition trucks is why you buy a truck.

For those who have managed to get one, the Cybertruck will likely become a collector’s piece. It’s unusual shape, it’s stainless steel body and it’s steer by wire technology as well as it’s proprietary wiring harness which used 70% less cable than lesser mortal cars.Qualities that definitely could be part of the future. A bit like the gull winged Delorean perhaps.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

#HeadlineTherapy Owls behind ancient ‘feast of frogs’ mystery

Thanks to Galya Dimitrova and BBC News Online for the Headline

A ditch full of 8,000 ancient frog bones told the story of how the landscape changed 1,700 years ago and led to the serious predation of frogs who up to then had been protected by the Wetlands and Ancient Forests.

The culprits were mainly Short-Eared Owls who predated the young frogs who were left without the protection of trees due to the land being cleared of trees for grazing livestock.

Scientists could tell by the score marks on the frog bones that they had been eaten by Short-Eared Owls. They estimated that the ditch had taken about one year to fill with the frog bones and that carbon dating showed that the frogs were in their first year of life.

#HealdineTherapy Marshall Islands fisheries chief Glen Joseph to lead regional fisheries body

Thanks to Giff Johnson and RNZ National and Global Watch for the Headline

Glen Joseph after graduating from the University of the South Pacific and interning in the 1990’s with the Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority(MIMRA) while completing his Bachelor’s degree. After working with them for 30 years and being at the helm for 21 years. He has being nominated to take over the role of Chief Executive to the partied to the NAURA agreement (PNA). Basically a bigger responsibility and why this man has been chosen reflects his dedication to ensuring fishing in the region , particularly for Tuna is sustainable and of good quality.

It has been a long road, firstly supporting the innovative Day Vessel Scheme which is now the main operating management mechanism for the eight PNA countries, who are responsible for 50% of the Skipjack Tuna caught in the World.

The Day Vessel Scheme increased revenue from license’s and enabled the MIMRA to develop into an organisation that had the ability to negotiate and present proposals to the likes of the US and the EC. In the US despite many years of not being able to supply the US market , working with a NGO start-up Pacific Island Tuna, MIMRA were able to gain an agreement to supply Walmart.

The EC could shortly approve the Marshall Islands as a supplier of marine products as MIMRA has set up a special laboratory for testing fish quality to meet the stringent EC requirements.

Not only that but MIMRA has worked with National Geographic’s Pristine Sea Program and the Ocean Exploration Trust to achieve deep ocean surveys and survey coral reef habitats in the area.

Good practice is good and can achieve impressive results, there is no reason that we cannot maintain our seas, rivers and environment and have access to good quality ,sustainable fish without destroying the planet. Mr Glen Joseph from the Marshall Islands is a good example to us all.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Life inside Counterstrike-2

If you got to live inside a video game world, which one would you choose?

Well here I am the goody or the baddy,

I don’t mind but I think this game’s quite laddy,

Fire first and never talk is the aim,

I suppose it could make you go quite insane,

Still there’s never ending combat to choose,

And it really doesn’t matter if you lose,

Because it doesn’t hurt at all,

And no one notices if you fall,

You don’t even get extra points if you rescue the hostage,

No medals or ceremonies not even a sausage,

After six hours I’m being chased by the smoke,

Really what I need is a long bath soak,

For niceties there is no option,

Perhaps that’ll come in the next version?

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

#HeadlineTherapy Brief burst of ‘intense heat’ could give hard-to-recycle wind turbine blades a second life.

Thanks to Liam Gulliver from Euro News for the Headline

What happens to wind turbine blades when they die after their 20 years of life?

Well they are pretty hard to destroy and up to now have been causing the “Wind Energy believers” much trauma as the only option to destroy the hard wearing materials was to send them to landfill. However no more.

Enter “flash joule heating”. By subjecting the wind turbine blades to a ” brief burst of intense heat”. The heat transforms blades from silica containing fibre glass and carbon-rich polymer resin- into silicon carbide and graphéne, two valuable manufacturing materials.

The research that was completed in China found that the resulting materials from the “flash joule heating” can be incorporated into basically an upcycled and better performing wind turbine blade.

What is there not to like, except for the energy required to heat something to 2000°C in seconds has to come from somewhere, probably not wind power and what happens to this better , stronger material when it comes to the end of it’s life. Can the same process happen again?

Google how …..

What life lesson did you learn too late?

Do you ever learn anything too late?

It’s as impossible as tempting fate,

The World is now a competitive race,

We all must work at a faster pace,

AI will determine our future,

It’s really a massive memory suture,

It will take facts and organise them as we like,

Education can take a hike,

What is the point in learning by rote,

When by an algorithm you will be smote,

The World is now don’t be late to the party,

Just Google how to be hale and hearty.

Not Really

Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?

A good friend you don’t know is really there,

Except somehow they are and really care,

Keeping an eye out for what might go wrong,

A spare bit of change to play another song,

Another option on an old problem,

To laugh at difficulties and never solve them,

No counting benefits or what to gain,

To understand when you’re being a pain,

To be a Good Friend is never easy,

You can’t do it at all if you’re really cheesy.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

#HeadlineTherapy Landline services affected after 1km of cable stolen

Thanks to Dan Hunt and BBC News Online for the Headline

I don’t know how many Countries in the World still have landlines, but we still have them around here. The advice from British Telecom is just to use your internet connection for phone calls . I suppose everyone has a mobile, don’t they?

The theft of 1km of cable occurred in a small village in Leicestershire , England.

The theft disrupted the service for the most vulnerable of people who either aren’t Internet Savvy or who aren’t adept at using a mobile phone.

Around where I live the cable is buried in the ground and impossible to steal. I suppose the thefts will keep continuing to all the cables are underground and that the Communication Companies agree to work together and share the network and switch to fibre optic cables and not copper. Surely protecting small rural communities from this sort of occurrence should be a priority.

#HeadlineTherapy Alaska governor orders probe into Democratic campaign’s alleged links to same-name candidate

Thanks to James Fitzgerald and Kayla Epstein and BBC Online News for the Headline.

Alaska should think itself lucky that the didn’t have Count Binface on the election ballot or indeed a candidate from the Official Monster Raving Loony Party like we have in the UK.

Instead they had a respectable retired teacher who lives in a remote fishing village called Dan J Sullivan who happens to have a name very similar to the incumbent Republican Senator Dan S Sullivan.

The Alaskan Republican Governor has ordered a probe into whether Dan J Sullivan was encouraged by the Democrats to stand in a deliberate attempt to dilute the Republican vote.

However, there is no Law against this even in they did, anyone can stand persuaded or not.

The result is close and hasn’t been announced yet as far as I know. Though I read the Democrats wanted details on rejected absentee votes which they have been refused as the details are confidential.

#HeadlineTherapy French mayor bans foie gras from Christmas Market

Thanks to Kyriaki Topalidou and Connexion Online for the Headline.

The Mayor of Fréjus in Ver, North West France has banned the sale of foie gras at his commune Christmas Market and encouraged vendors instead to sell Happy Foie which is an alternative to the traditional product and is made without force-feeding.

The Mayor has taken this stance to prevent animal cruelty and indeed has stated that some traditions need to change to acknowledge the importance of animal welfare.

For that reason he is proposing to ban hunting on municipal land and is refusing to host circuses with animals and not holding bullfights in the commune’s arena.

The Mayor quotes a National Poll within France where 79% of people consider it unjustified to make animals suffer for the sake of tradition.
