Stranded Cape Cod Sea Turtles

The rate of sea turtle stranding in Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts is at epic proportions, threatening sea turtles with extinction. The Mass Audubon Society in Wellfleet MA is trying to help stranded turtles survive. A major problem common to sea turtles is that they get off their migratory course and strand, such that without help, many die too young in Cape Cod Bay.

A possible fix to help sea turtles may be employment of a large magnet that would pull the turtles so that they never enter Cape Cod Bay.  All we need to do is get turtles out of the Bay, and then nature should take care of the rest.  Thus, I am not suggesting that it is the turtles’ problem.  It is our problem, and fixing it comes down needing the courage to work to help the turtles from extinction.  Thus, I suggest that human activity causes turtle stranding.

I suggest using model scales and testing to help determine how this technology should work.
Sea turtles migrate partially because that is what a magnet in their brain pulls them to do.  Thus I suggest possibly the natural magnet of sea turtles has been confused due to the huge iron magnetic presence of barges using the Cape Cod Canal.

Human Waste an Environmental Final Frontier

As human populations continually increase their output of waste, not only trash, but biological waste such as stools, we need to do something about it or our outcome will be that we will become more like China.  I think of China especially because of China’s severe pollution, especially China’s human pollution.

Human waste presents many problems as compared to say horse manure.  Horse manure is far cleaner, and thus far less dangerous, and far less disgusting.  For example, if we have a farm or garden, no fool would use human feces as fertilizer.

The future of waste management is not to continue purifying our waste and then dumping it in the ocean.  I suggest drying out human waste, and making it fuel in the form of large bricks for power plants.  Whatever we do, we have to be better than China.  If we fail to do good by our planet, then I expect our outcome will be this: 

Tech Makes Good Candidates Unelectable

For those running for office, the future is now.  Due to technology, times are difficult for politicians.  One wrong step in your entire lifetime is enough to make you unelectable for an entire lifetime!  I suggest that this is greatly due in part to media technology, such as cameras, video, internet, and etcetera.

The problem with this is that not everyone with the cleanest record will make the best president for America.  (ethics are important of course, but nobody is always perfect)  Many who could make great leaders have made a mistake or two.  With new tech, if nothing changes, the quality of the leadership of the USA does not forecast many great leaders.

Computer Teaches Musical Improv

All the best bands, bands of all kinds and music embrace improvisation in some form, from Miles Davis to Led Zeppelin to jam bands. Visit my Pandora.com site and compare the how live albums sound compare to studio albums. http://www.pandora.com/profile/craig.hamilton.newletters

I have observed, Rock Smith, a computer program, that teaches players how to copy exactly certain songs note for note. I suggest a musical program that teaches students to improvise on electronic instruments, like training wheels for a bike.

For instance, if you wanted to learn a jazz standard, such as one from the Real Book, there could be one aspect that could recognize mild scalar variations in play for the head of the song. A change in a note here or there in the head would improve one’s score.

Similarly, there could also be many ways for the computer to gauge features such as soloing, and accompaniment, other than the head.


1.  Chording

2.  Rhythmic syncopation

3.  Pentatonic scales

4.  Arpeggios

5.  Modal soloing

6.  Key changes

7.  Lack of originality penalty

8.  Chromatic movements

9.  Combos that include kinds 1 through 8

The potentials are incredibly vast.  There is more than this.  Maybe another program might teach musical theory to practice before actually playing an improvised note.

In order for the computer to play along with the gamester, software engineers and musicians could piece together semi-original desired song parts, essentially jazz karaoke, that the computer could arrange for the purpose of algorithm play along, meaning that the computer would play semi-original music that would fit nicely with the musicians play. For instance, a computer could piece together perhaps 20, maybe 100, different versions of a song on the fly.

Future Cars: Hydrogenated-Silicon May Replace Gasoline

Gasoline and petroleum are explosive hydrocarbons.  By hydrocarbons I mean chemicals made of H (hydrogen) and C (carbon) as in a few of the commonly know fuels:

Yet, not all hydrocarbons are explosive – for instance, pavement (sidewalks roads etc.). Pavement is a nonflammable hydrocarbon. Typically, folks don’t think of silicon as being flammable. When someone says silicon, I think of beach sand, soda bottles, or medical equipment (silicon is used to make silicone). For this reason often times, folks think of silicon as something stable. For instance, silicon glass melts at very high temperatures, and even then, it does not explode.

However, there may be some sort of chemical way to make silicon gasoline. Thus, I am not talking about a vehicle that runs on sand. For combustion engines, I am talking about replacing hydrocarbons with hydrogenate-silicon.  That means the compounds with the C (carbon), would be replaced by Si (silicon) in the picture.

The idea is that vehicles would consume chemically altered explosive silicon compounds.  The silicon would be chemically altered through hydrogenation.

The periodic table says that silicon is the closest thing to carbons, especially because both carbon and silicon have four valence electrons.

There is so much sand out there, and that is the primary appeal of inventing a silicon combustion engine. However, this procedure would probably not be environmentally safe.  In fact, it may be worse, but that isn't a guarantee, because it may be better for the environment gas.  Perhaps, through experimentation secrets may be revealed.

Cape Cod Canal Dredging - Edit

Due to the necessity of dredging the Cape Cod Canal for the sake of large cargo boats, and other massive boats, Sandwich, MA homeowners living in the Town Neck shore area need the government to step in and tell them to move to a new locality in return for taxpayer compensation. This way should eventually be the most cost effective countermeasure, as dredging and then leaving the sand in the Town Neck area is a futile ritual. This is a situation that needs greater measures of consideration.

Why is this necessary? The sand would be back too shortly due to the strong tidal currents in the canal area. And, there is no way to bring the sand over the sand dunes without destroying them. We need to claim the land by the houses for making a place to not only bring the sand ashore, but also to get it in big dump trucks so that it can be carried away to a faraway inland dump.

The Solution:

To address the current issue, the sand should be brought ashore. Then, taken from the shore area, and transferred to a local landfill. This would require use of big machinery like dump trucks and front loaders, but it should greatly slow problematic sand deposits.

"In the next three weeks, as much as 180,000 cubic yards of sand will be pumped onto the beach. The sand will be shaped and sculpted into dunes to protect the salt marsh, boardwalk and Mill Creek. The town is paying $2.9 million, a combination of town funds and $1 million in state money, to pay for the project." http://www.capecodtimes.com/article/20160105/NEWS/160109790

The next step is that now that we have the Canal dredged, we need to put that sand in a place far enough inland so that hopefully it will put off other dredging to a much later date, as it is nearly impossible to completely fix the problem forever.

Science and Auras: Quantifying Explanations for Unique Personal Destinies via Aura Dynamics

Eventually, scientists will probably have the power be able to figure out parts of our destiny through the type of particles and/or living cells that surround us.

What surrounds us from our habitat makes us have a unique personal aura.

For instance, dirty laundry scent is known to be a way partners are able to recognize each other.

The extent to the power of auras is unknown, but through exploring the possibilities in a scientific laboratory, we may be able to accomplish such things so, lofty as helping to prevent crime.

We may find why some people seem blessed while others seem cursed.

At least we may be able to understand the behaviors of scientific actions like the push and pull that helps is navigate our life.

The knowledge of aura dynamics may be helpful to psychiatric counselors. Doctors may able to help patients through the invention of new kinds of prescription pills that adjust our subconscious assisting in the aid of our push and pull we feel when engaging the cosmos.

We may be able to find lost loved ones, locating them through following the path of their aura, as a beagle (beagles are dogs known for their tracking abilities) would, but possibly even better than these smell oriented dogs through use of innovative technology.

What may be included in these aura’s may be stuff from creatures to vegetables to minerals, and through analysis in a scientific lab, this information should enable us through study to be able to determine and change our destinies, such that humanity will know what causes the push and pull in every way according to our aura.

Religion is very aware of this kind of push and pull. For instance, there is a teaching that our connections sever from our neighbors according to our sins and good deeds. Employment of aura technology does not necessarily mean that the role of Gd diminishes, as learning about the facets Gd’s creation in no way subtracts from Him his power and providence.
