The UK has been using this technology for years, decades, possibly centuries. Visit any traditional farming area here, and you'll find tractors towing tank trailers from farm to field, or field to field. They have spreader nozzles at the rear, and spray the sludge over everything nearby. We seem to survived on it so far... So has the United States. We have a common brand of bagged fertilizer named Bandini. The name is also used for the statement "You are in deep Bandini..." |

Wow! :-O The Oldest Tree in the World Might Have Been Found in Chile, and It's Dying. In Chile's Alerce Costero National Park, there is a very big, very old tree. Alerce trees don't live fast and die young. They grow extremely slowly and live for a long, long time. As first reported in Science, Jonathan Barichivich says that the Alerce Milenario is the oldest tree of all: likely at least 5,000 years old, just after we entered the Bronze Age. That's a lot older than the previous record holder, an eastern Californian bristlecone pine thought to be 4,853 years old....It's just a shame that it's dying, but then again "nothing lasts forever". Cheers. |

I've sort of been tossing up where to put, but let's forget about the military uses and I'll stick it here as there are more non-military uses for this. It seems that DARPA wants to develop their own Caspian Sea Monster, but this 1 will actually be able to fly. Mad Scientists at DARPA Are Moving Forward With a ‘Flying Sea Monster’ Craft. Last week, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced a new project, one that should be familiar to aircraft—and ship—geeks. The Liberty Lifter seaplane transport will harness the “wing-in-ground effect” (WIG) that Soviet-era aircraft, including the infamous “Caspian Sea Monster,” utilized to carry cargo thousands of miles, across distances such as the Indian and Pacific oceans. Although the technology has been tried and abandoned, DARPA seems to think it deserves a second look.In use as the bigger brother of the G-111T they could prove to be very beneficial to many island communities around the world. Cheers. |

It looks like the U.S. Forest Service is like our National Parks and Wildlife Service (which is more commonly know around here as National Sparks and Wildfire Setters). Forest Service finds it was responsible for largest fire in New Mexico history. The Forest Service says it was responsible for both the blazes that merged late last month and created the largest fire in New Mexico history. |

You have to go back to August 2015. They were for sale in Hill Valley for $8200. Make sure you take a new copy of Action Comics issue #1. You will be able to sell it at Southerbys for around $2 million. That way you can get a hover conversion too. |

Okay. I’ll settle for the Mr. Fusion and not worry about electrical battery range. Just toss in some mass and have it converted to electricity. |

They're always discovering something somewhere. Scientists discover self-cloning sea grass that's 'biggest plant on Earth' off Australian coast. A new study revealed that self-cloning sea grass located off the western Australian coast is actually one individual plant, making it the largest ever and the size of the entire city of Cincinnati.Cheers. |
