Jan 2009 - effective way to remove heavy metal
South Korean scientists have come up with a very effective way to remove dangerous heavy metals such as lead from blood by using specially designed magnetic receptors.

Controversy over Gorshkov Deal Between India and Russia
The ship was laid down in 1978 at Nikolayev South (Shipyard No.444) in Ukraine, launched in 1982. Originally named Baku, the ship was renamed Admiral Gorshkov after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. India and Russia signed an agreement on January 20, 2004 for the purchase of the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov (INS Vikramaditya) at a cost of $1.5 billion, after hard bargaining which started in 1997. The Gorshkov deal between India and Russia has run into controversy over the price and cost overruns. The Russian failure to adhere by contractual agreements. A delay in the project and increase in price by US$1.2 billion due to “increase in scope of work not originally envisaged.” However, despite India’s displeasure, what made New Delhi accede to Russian demands is primarily due to the lack of an alternative to the Gorshkov in the immediate future. The delivery of India’s indigenous aircraft carrier, Advanced Defence Ship, will not occur before 2012 or perhaps 2015. Since the only carrier with India, the INS Viraat, is currently on life extension, this situation degrades Indian maritime security preparedness that revolves around acquiring three aircraft carriers.

4G Mobile Technology
The future, low cost, high speed fourth generation (4G) as short-range communication is an emerging service and application ubiquity, with a high degree of personalization and syn-chronization between various user appli-ances, will be another driver. At the same time, it is probable that the radio access network will evolve from a central-ized architecture to a distributed one.
The evolution from 3G to 4G will be driven by services that offer better qual-ity (e.g. video and sound) thanks to greater bandwidth, more sophistication in the association of a large quantity of information, and improved personaliza- tion. Convergence with other network (enterprise, fixed) services will come about through the high session data rate.
