Over 23% of all the goods and services made since 1AD were produced from 2001 to 2010, according to an updated version of Angus Maddison's figures.

Burn treatment with robotic biomask

The mask will be comprised of two major layers. The top, a hard shell, will protect a patient’s face and also store electrical components. Underneath, a flexible polymer mask will fit around the contours of a patient’s face. It’ll be embedded with three more layers: An array of sensors to track the rate of healing, actuators to push up against the wound and hold the mask in place, and a network of micro-tubing and valves to pump therapeutics — whether antibiotics and pain killers or stem cells and growth factor — onto specific regions of the wound.

“Sensors would monitor the wound, and treatment inside the mask would be based on that data,” Moss says. “If healing is accelerated in one area of the burn, then the mask would know to supply different therapeutics to that region.”

Driverless cars

The use of technology in cars has been increasing in the direction of easing the driver's job. From video parking sensors to GPS navigation, the idea has been to automate, as much as possible, the job of driving. Another area where technology has been directed is in the area of safety. So to eliminate human errors let's eliminate human driving by heading technology straight into driverless supercars.

Spray antifurt SDNA

POLICE evaluation of a crime reduction campaign using SelectaDNA in Rotterdam has recently been announced and robbery figures have been reduced by a massive 65%.

The Amsterdam scheme uses SelectaDNA’s intruder spray which has been installed in luxury boutiques and jewellers. Altogether, 20 streets in the centre of the city have been declared a ‘SelectaDNA-protected’ zone by Police.

Once activated, the DNA spray emits a burst of hi-tech forensic solution onto the offenders. The solution contains a UV tracer and a unique DNA code, linking them irrefutably to the scene of the crime.

Traces of the DNA solution can be taken from the skin, hair and clothing of offenders, and sent away for forensic analysis to prove that they have broken into a particular premises. Although invisible and harmless, the UV and DNA will remain on an offender for weeks - clinging to fibres and sitting in creases of the skin.
Police routinely scan for traces of SelectaDNA in custody suites, and if they find it, it will help Police to obtain a conviction.

Cum au pus românii opinca pe Parlamentul de la Budapesta

Şi-au intrat trupele noastre în Budapesta la începutul lunii august 1919. Palatul Parlamentului maghiar a fost pus sub paza unui pluton de vânători.

Chemând pe căprarul Bivolaru, s-au suit în norii Budapestei şi au coborât steagul în lungul sforii, drept la jumătatea steajerului şi, luând apoi opinca răsuflată a căprarului, s-a urcat ca un pui de urs şi a pus-o drept căciulă în capul steajerului, lăsându-i nojiţele s-atîrne-n vânt. Şi aşa a fâlfâit multă vreme în cerul Budapestei steagul maghiar cu opinca românească deasupra lui
