Jodhpur, Feb 23 (UNI) The growth in domestic and international air traffic in India is among the highest in the world.
Speaking at a two-day international Aviation Conference, Airport Authority of India Chairman K Ramalingam said the growth of domestic air traffic is 28 per cent annually, while international air travel has registered a growth of 25 per cent.
The number of passengers has been increasing at a rate of 32 per cent.
Asked whether such a growth rate is sustainable, he said the growth is likely to be in the range of 12-15 per cent for the next 10 to 15 years.
He also emphasised the need for better infrastructure facilities and more integrated terminals which could be used for both domestic and international flights to cope with the demand.
Speaking on the occasion, Indian Oil Corporation Chairman Sarthak Bhuria said the IOC has 63 per cent share in aviation business and on an average 1500 aircraft are fuelled by IOC daily with an average of one aircraft per minute.

This article is based on the current growth and sales of the Anglosphere, what it fails to mention is this growth its experiencing is not sustainable.

In rhetoric reminiscent of Malaysia's Mahathir Mohamed, Hong Kong's Financial Secretary, Donald Tsang, announced that he'd used a big chunk of his reserves on a one-day buying spree to support the Hong Kong stock market.
"We do not tolerate attempts by speculators to manipulate our interest rates by engineering extreme conditions in the money markets so that they can benefit from short positions they have built up in Hang Seng index futures," he was quoted as saying triumphantly. He must have felt pretty pleased with himself, for his buying helped push Hong Kong's bombed-out index up 8.5 per cent. But that was before traders knew the identity of the buyer. I doubt they'll think so highly of it now they know what's going on is Chinese nationalisation.
On one level, Mr Tsang is absolutely right to complain. When an economy seems to be in trouble international speculators (for which read Anglo Saxon traders) flock round the situation like bees round a honey pot - their object to make money out of it - and in so doing they generally make the malaise infinitely worse.
But there is usually good reason for the vultures to swoop in this way. In Hong Kong's case, it's not much to do with the underlying fundamentals of the economy, which unlike most areas of the Far East are still relatively sound. It is, however, pure fantasy to think that Hong Kong can remain immune to the financial and economic meltdown going on all around it. And yet that's what the authorities out there seem to think it can do. As everyone else, Japan included, devalues like topsy, Hong Kong sticks to the currency board which maintains its dollar peg.
Just as the recession in Britain in the early 1990s was compounded by our membership of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, the effect of the dollar peg cannot be other than deeply recessionary. That's why the Hong Kong stock market has been falling so precipitously. For speculators it's become a two-way bet. If Hong Kong abandons the peg for the sake of its economy, they make money out of the devaluation. If it doesn't, they make money out of the falling stock market.
For politicians, as well as many ordinary people, this process is bound to seem repugnant, but unless Hong Kong declares UDI from the rest of the world, global capital markets will have their way.
The irony of Mr Tsang's "solution" is that it should run so counter to the capitalist ways that were for so long the colony's life blood and chief source of wealth. It shows that the Chinese don't really understand what Hong Kong or the free market is about. I dread to think what they'll do when they find out, probably as soon as Monday, that Mrs Thatcher was right - you can't buck the markets.
Catching Asian flu
IT'S BEEN long in incubation, but Asian flu is finally beginning to strike home in the United States too. I've recently returned from the US and I can report that there's been a quite tangible change of mood among Wall Street investors over the last two weeks. Irrational exuberance is finally giving way to rational caution and we know not yet where it will lead. US exports are down and so is corporate earnings growth. Meanwhile, the Asian meltdown has caused economic growth to slow to a snail's pace.
Most worrying of all, the US stock market is heading south at a rate of knots. Since it is partly the feeling of wealth generated by the US stock market boom which has helped sustain US spending and economic activity, the consequences of this could be quite dramatic.
That Wall Street is dangerously overvalued has been obvious for at least a year now. But despite the warning signs, including last autumn's 550 point one-day fall in the Dow, small investors have continued to pour money into the US stock market, fuelling a further 18 per cent climb in the market from the beginning of the year to its peak on 17 July. Academics and pundits have become steadily more ingenious at rationalising the irrational.
First it was the new economy, the belief that a combination of technology, clever management and the competitive pressures of globalisation had enabled America to abolish the business cycle. When that began to look a little incredible, it was the new investor. To explain why retail investors, as well as companies through share buy-backs, were prepared to continue buying at such ludicrous prices, pundits said it was because the "equity premium" had fallen - the premium investors require for the risk of investing in equities.
There's now a huge volume of research and literature on this, but the truth is that it's just a poncey way of saying the blindingly obvious - that equities are much more highly valued than they were but that investors are still prepared to buy them. There's nothing new in this; it's as old as the hills and it is to do with the fact that if the stock market keeps rising, people begin to believe it can do so forever.
The last month has sorely tested this belief. Since its peak, the Dow is off 10 per cent, which is already half the 20 per cent fall that officially marks a bear market. I don't know how long it will take, but there's now a real danger that America's Goldilocks economy of high growth and low inflation will end up getting eaten by the bear, too. The only question is whether it will be baby, mummy or daddy bear.
His own worst enemy
MICHAEL GREEN, chairman of Carlton Communications, is his own worst enemy. I gather he's perplexed and angry about the way his already underperforming share price was hit last week by BSkyB's announcement of an aggressively priced package of digital television channels, the view being that if Sky can offer more for less than Carlton's jointly owned pay- TV operation, ONdigital, then ONdigital is pretty much dead in the water.
That view is ill informed. Actually, prospects for ONdigital are still excellent. But whether or not that's the case, it shouldn't be affecting Carlton's share price.
For Carlton, ONdigital is an upside punt. If it doesn't work out, the shares have enough to sustain them from Carlton's established, profitable businesses.
Yet somehow or other Mr Green fails to get this across to the City, which has always been faintly suspicious of Carlton. This is mainly down to the fact that Mr Green is still perceived as more of a tycoon than a conventional chief executive, serving the wider interests of shareholders.
He perhaps ought to do something about that image.

Holly's Horrorland invited us all to a Sanguinary Soiree, her blog theme for Valentine's Day. To participate, all you have to do is post something with a vampire theme. What is easier for a Goth blogger than to do a vampire theme!? And what is better than vampire fashion?
Yes, you would think it would be easy… But I have to admit, this post was fraught with difficulty for me. My first plan fell through due to a weekend filled with stomach flu. Then I realized I had already planned to use my velvet cape for yesterday's homework assignment, depriving myself of the perfect vampy piece for today. At last I decided to take inspiration from GothBarbie's recent series of Old Photos of the Day. I remembered this little gem, taken around 2000, when I had just been clubbing a couple of years. It's the first time I ever wore my first "real" corset, which of course is by Gallery Serpentine. I was headed off to attend a vampire-themed club night, and I'm pretty sure I actually was wearing fangs.
And yes, those are some cassette tapes you see in the lower left. I held onto those babies for the longest time… Lest anyone think the cassette tapes don't fit into the vampire theme, rest assured! There most definitely was a copy of Bauhaus 1979-83 Volume 1 complete with Bela Lugosi's Dead in there. 🙂
What do you think of the old photos? Entertaining and more should be shared, or horrifying and please don't ever do it again?
Now head over to Holly's Horrorland and enjoy the rest of the Vampire's Day Soiree!

This weekend is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate: Mother's Day! Sure it's one of those days that pops up in your head the day before so you scramble off to Hallmark (although I have to admit my card and present have already been bought this year so this doesn't speak to me), but I like to think I appreciate my mom all throughout the year. She is one very special lady and I owe everything to her - she brought me into this world and has made it one filled with lots of love and happy memories and I feel so extremely blessed to call her my mother.
I don't know what I would do without her as I constantly seek her out for guidance in my life, a shoulder to cry on when things don't go my way, and the one person I know I can say anything to and she won't judge me for it... she knows my good and bad parts, just what to say when I'm having a bad day, and just a hug from my Mom can turn a frown upside down. She's an excellent listener, a true christian wife and mother, and I've learned so much from her that I can only hope I turn out just like her one day - she's successful, determined, optimistic, and I think she brings out the best in so many people around her and I'm the lucky one that God chose to be her daughter.
Thanks for all you do Mommy- I love you the MOST! You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, oh please don't take my sunshine away! OXOX

Advance Inspection of NASA's Next Mars Landing SiteThis map shows footprints of images taken from Mars orbit by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera as part of advance analysis of the area where NASA's InSight mission will land in 2018. The final planned image of the set is targeted to fill in the yellow-outlined rectangle on March 30, 2017.
HiRISE is one of six science instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which reached Mars in 2006 and surpassed 50,000 orbits on March 27, 2017.
The map covers an area about 100 miles (160 kilometers) across.
HiRISE has been used since 2006 to inspect dozens of candidate landing sites on Mars, including the sites where the Phoenix and Curiosity missions landed in 2008 and 2012. The site selected for InSight's Nov. 26, 2018, landing is on a flat plain in the Elysium Planitia region of Mars, between 4 and 5 degrees north of the equator.
HiRISE images are detailed enough to reveal individual boulders big enough to be a landing hazard. The March 30 observation that completes the planned advance imaging of this landing area brings the number of HiRISE images of the area to 73. Some are pairs covering the same ground. Overlapping observations provide stereoscopic, 3-D information for evaluating characteristics such as slopes. On this map, coverage by stereo pairs is coded in pale blue, compared to the gray-green of single HiRISE image footprints.
The ellipses on the map are about 81 miles (130 kilometers) west-to-east by about 17 miles (27 kilometers) north-to-south. InSight has about 99 percent odds of landing within the ellipse for which it is targeted. The three ellipses indicate landing expectations for three of the possible InSight launch dates: white outline for launch at the start of the launch period, on May 5, 2018; blue for launch on May 26, 2018; orange for launch on June 8, 2018.
InSight -- an acronym for "Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport"-- will study the deep interior of Mars to improve understanding about how rocky planets like Earth formed and evolved.
The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates HiRISE, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colorado. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project and the InSight Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the orbiter and is building the lander.

Go with Tom for the transmission.
I don't know I would do anything on the header if you can't/won't do the SVT header. I don't think any of the Shorty ones actually give you any gain
Do a CAT back exhaust TruBendz makes good kits for the focus. Get 2.5 or larger. Go on YouTube and search for zetec focus exhaust clips... I think Borla sounds the best but also is a little more....
Check out C-F-M for other bolt on's that you may want.
I'd love to do the SVT headers, but I'll have to call the hippie-land DMV to check on the legality first. I'd have to use an SVT exhaust kit if I do purchase the SVT header and CAT right?
Tousley ford sells the SVT kit for like $200 still right? I seem to remember them being the cheapest I found.
Tom is the MTX75 legend right? Or is that another guy? I've seen a LOT of threads talking about some guy who could make an MTX75 take an SVT Getrag 6-speed to school in real world driving. 90MPH+ I don't care about --I like driving fast, but that kind of on public roads gets people killed/arrested.
Is the Iceman better than the K&N Gen 2? I'm not buying a scoop hood --I don't like to advertise that my car is worth stealing.

Are you thinking to lose weight but are confused with how to go about it? Do you feel the need to know the science behind weight loss and how all those exercise regimens work? Then look no further and continue with this post!
Simply put, if you want to lose weight, you have to use more calories than you consume. Read on to know more of this!
What are calories by the way? Calorie is the unit used to measure energy derived from the food and drink that we consume. Calories are present mainly in fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Our body needs this energy to function properly. When these calories or energy are in excess, our smart body starts storing it to use later on when needed. These stored calories get converted into fat.
Now, what is metabolism and how is it related to weight loss? Mayo Clinic defines metabolism "as the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. During this complex biochemical process, calories in food and beverages are combined with oxygen to release the energy your body needs to function."
Now, the number of calories your body needs and uses every day to perform its basic functions is called the Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR or Metabolism. You must have heard people blaming their slow metabolism for weight gain. Also, you must have seen physical trainers and nutritionists talking about all the ways you can boost your metabolism to lose weight fast. Again, it comes down to a simple equation – when you are burning all the calories you consume, your body does not get a chance to fill its treasure chest. This reduces the chances of weight gain.
Basal Metabolic Rate:
The next question that comes to your mind would be what determines this basal metabolic rate. Your BMR depends on many factors like your height, body size, composition, age and sex. Each factor contributes to how many calories you can consume and burn. The general way to determine this BMR is to multiply your weight in pounds with 10. Two other factors that contribute to your calorie need are food processing and physical activity. Basically, your BMR only accounts for 70% of your caloric needs. The rest consists of the energy required to consume food and how active you are throughout your day.
Weight Loss:
Now how do we lose weight? To lose weight we need to reverse the energy balance. We need to use more energy than we consume and create an energy deficit. In simple math, 1 pound is equal to 3500 calories. Therefore, if you want to lose a pound over a week, you need to create a calorie or energy deficit of 3500 calories which amounts to a daily deficit of 500 calories.
You can create that energy deficit by reducing your calorie intake and increasing your physical activity. Here come the concepts of diet and workout. Most women need around 1200-1500 calories to do their basic functions. So your diet must provide you with at least these many calories. The nutritionists, therefore, recommend a diet plan which limits itself on the calorie front, but contains all the vital nutrients, vitamins and minerals required for keeping your body healthy. Similarly, you should workout daily. When you are eating fewer calories than you use, your workout burns the calories stored in the form of fat around your body.
Other Factors:
This all sounds so simple, logical and rational. The problem that comes with this mathematical approach is that weight gain is not only caused by eating more. There are other factors included that should be taken into account while trying to lose weight:
1. Eating Less:
Yes, this is one of the foremost causes of weight gain that most people ignore. See, when you are not consuming as many calories as your body needs to function properly, your poor body starts fretting. So whenever you eat, it stores some of it away in the form of fat thinking that you might not give it any in the future. Same is the case with infrequent meals or meals with a lot of time gap between them.
Solution: Eat small meals frequently over the day. Most trainers recommend 6 small meals.
2. Stress:
Stress and lack of rest also mess up with your body's energy consumption. You are overusing your body and not giving it anytime to repair and reboot itself. You need proper sleep and relaxation.
Solution: Start doing meditation. You should get at least 8 hours of sleep every day. Meditation helps in de-stressing and also helps in sleeping peacefully.
3. Hormonal Imbalances:
Hormonal imbalances can also result in weight gain and can even hinder your weight loss attempts. That is why most women gain weight either during their growth years or around menopause.
Solution: To deal with hormonal imbalances, you should start doing yoga and pranayama. But, it is good to take medical advice.
So, this is the basic science behind weight loss. It excludes genetic factors in weight gain and loss. But otherwise, it comes down to Eat Right, Exercise Right and Sleep Right.

Friday, 7 March 2008
"Thirty years ago, no one could have foreseen the huge expansion of the Vietnam War, wage & price controls, two oil shocks, the resignation of a president, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a one-day drop in the Dow of 508 points, or treasury bill yields fluctuating between 2.8% and 17.4%. But, surprise – none of these blockbuster events made the slightest dent in Ben Graham's investment principles. Nor did they render unsound the negotiated prices of fine businesses at sensible prices. Imagine the cost to us, then, if we had let the fear of the unknowns cause us to defer or alter the deployment of capital. Indeed, we've usually made our best purchases when apprehensions about some macro event were at a peak. Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist. A different sort of major shock is sure to occur in the next 30 years. We will neither try to predict those nor profit from them. If we can identify businesses similar to those we have purchased in the past, external surprises will have little effect on our long-term results." – Warren Buffett

They are likely to be charged in Federal Court. The police officers will have the same rights and judicial process as anyone who is charged with a similar offense. It is anyone's guess if these officers will cooperate against others, seek some sort of a plea or sentence deal, or stand trial.
If they plead guilty or lose at trial and are sentenced to incarceration, there are prisons throughout the United States that house federal prisoners. I am sure steps would be taken to protect the officers from other inmates who may have issues with them.Ask a similar question

AP Source: Warriors meet with Brandon Roy
Associated Press | Last updated July 03, 2012
A person familiar with the situation says the Golden State Warriors met with free agent Brandon Roy earlier this week about joining the team in his attempted comeback. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the talks were preliminary, also said the Warriors were hoping to meet with Roy again. Nothing was scheduled yet. Roy, a three-time All-Star, announced his retirement in December after five seasons with Portland because of chronic knee problems. The 27-year-old has averaged 19 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 321 games. Minnesota and Cleveland also have expressed an interest in Roy. While he has only played for Portland, Golden State does offer some familiarity. Roy used to be represented by new Warriors general manager Bob Myers, a former sports agent.

At jiveSYSTEMS, we show sales agents how to accelerate trust by adding video into their daily communication toolbox—even when they feel like they have a face for radio or aren't great with technology.
We do this by providing them with "rinse and repeat workflows" that deliver consistent results. Combined with access to our gimmick-free video platform that's designed for working a pipeline of leads.
Founded in 2007, jiveSYSTEMS was created after Will Franco spotted a glaring disconnect in the modern sales process.
The time-proven tradition of shaking hands to begin a relationship was disappearing. And when you overlook this important gesture, follow-up turns into a grind.
Once made, the disconnect is hard to recover from. It's why follow-up can often feel like you're running uphill. Regardless of how polished your phone and regular email skills may be.
This was two years after YouTube launched. Will saw how, video combined with email, could create a digital form of the traditional handshake and prevent the disconnect from happening.
We're hardwired to build relationships with people. Not voices on the end of a telephone. When you follow-up a first phone call using a regular email, you're not extending your hand to meet theirs.
The Digital Handshake™ gives you the ability to teleport into your lead's office. Like the name implies, it's the digital form of a traditional handshake—a handcrafted video (of you), designed to put a face to the name, sent immediately after your first phone conversation. It's one style of video email you can use. A style that accelerates trust at the commencement of a relationship.
The Digital Handshake™ is viewed as standard sales etiquette (by those using it) because implementing this one simple step (that takes five extra minutes per qualified lead) rectifies the disconnect turbocharging your sales process with the missing and winning ingredient... "You!"
Even at a glance, you can feel the difference between these communications.
The regular email feels canned and impersonal. Whereas the video email (even before your lead watches it), feels warm and authentic.
Don't let rookies with no experience or personality beat you in sales!
Take "new leads" from "lukewarm" to "red hot" using the "Digital Handshake™" and the sales strengths you already have.

Background Internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs) provide alternative, cap-independent translation initiation sites in eukaryotic cells. IRES elements are important factors in viral genomes and are also useful tools for bi-cistronic expression vectors. Most existing RNA structure prediction programs are unable to deal with IRES elements. Results We designed an IRES search system, named IRSS, to obtain better results for IRES prediction. RNA secondary structure prediction and comparison software programs were implemented to construct our two-stage strategy for the IRSS. Two software programs formed the backbone of IRSS: the RNAL fold program, used to predict local RNA secondary structures by minimum free energy method; and the RNA Align program, used to compare predicted structures. After complete viral genome database search, the IRSS have low error rate and up to 72.3% sensitivity in appropriated parameters. Conclusion IRSS is freely available at this website . In addition, all source codes, precompiled binaries, examples and documentations are downloadable for local execution. This new search approach for IRES elements will provide a useful research tool on IRES related studies.

Worm Uses Hormone Of the Immune System To Infect and Multiply
By GINA KOLATA
Published: August 4, 1992
ONE of the great unsolved challenges of biology is to understand how tiny pairs of parasitic worms, which live their entire lives copulating in a blood vessel, manage to escape all the body's defenses.
The worms somehow know exactly where to settle in and start mating. The thousands of eggs they release each day are somehow walled off by the body in tiny granulomas, masses of white blood cells, where they are protected from the immune system and the body is protected from toxins in the eggs. The entire system seems incredibly complex and almost impenetrable.
The lives and survival strategies of the worms are of more than academic interest. The worms cause schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease that has persisted for centuries and that afflicts an estimated 200 million people today. Even though there is a drug, praziquantel, that can cure the disease, people can be reinfected. And some people die because the drug is not available in many isolated areas.
"It's a disease that has been very difficult to control," said Dr. Alan Sher, a schistosomiasis researcher at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Peeling Away Confusion
But now a group of researchers has, with a single stroke, peeled away layers of detail and confusion. They have revealed that at least one species of the worms, Schistosoma mannsoni, appears to recruit exactly the immune system hormone that white blood cells release as part of an inflammatory response. And the researchers hypothesize, the worms even use the hormone, tumor necrosis factor, to find the blood vessel where they will live to stimulate themselves to produce eggs and to force the body to encase their eggs.
"The worm has evolved to use immune system signals," said Dr. James H. McKerrow the University of California in San Francisco. The finding, by Dr. McKerrow and his colleagues was published in a recent issue of Nature, a British science journal. Although parasitologists said the discovery did not immediately suggest a a better drug or a vaccine for the disease, it showed a new direction for research.
Dr. Sher said the finding was a surprise. He added that before this no one had any idea what signals the worms needed to lay eggs. Dating to 2000 B.C.
The first written mention of schistosomiasis was in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, around 2000 B.C. The disease was so common that infection with the parasite was considered a rite of passage and blood in the urine, a symptom of one form of schistosomiasis, was viewed as sign of puberty in boys.
Infected people excrete the microscopic, brownish-yellow eggs in their feces. If the eggs get into fresh water, the free swimming embryos escape, skittering about until they find a snail. They invade the snail and begin to multiply. Weeks later, thousands of larvae pour into the water.
When a person steps into the water the larvae rush over to burrow into the skin. From the skin, they enter the bloodstream and travel in it until they reach the lungs, where they stay for 10 days developing into white males and darker females. Then the worms re-enter the bloodstream. One species travels to the veins that drain the upper intestine, and another, Schistosoma mannsoni, goes to those that drain the lower intestine. Worms of a third species go to veins that drain the bladder. There they stay, copulating for the rest of their lives, which may be 20 or 30 years.
Each pair of worms excretes thousands of eggs a day. About half of the eggs burrow through the walls of the intestine or bladder, depending on the species, and are excreted and continue the organism's life cyle. The others are swept in the blood to the liver, where they are encased in granulomas.
It is easy to spot a granuloma-infested liver, said Dr. S. Michael Phillips of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. The granulomas dot the liver, looking like raised white bumps the size of a pinhead.
"The granuloma looks like a ball," Dr. Phillips said. "In the center of the ball is an egg, and around the eggs are immune system cells."
But one mystery of granulomas was what made them form. The egg lodges in the liver, stimulates T cells, white blood cells of the immune system, to swarm to the scene, and then, said Dr. Sher, the T cells "bring in a whole bunch of other cells, almost like a cascade." The entire system looked incredibly complex.
And a mystery of egg production was what signaled it. Researchers could isolate adult worms and maintain them, still coupled, in the laboratory, but they ceased to secrete eggs.
An answer arose when Dr. McKerrow and colleagues decided to study an observation made earlier by Dr. Sher others that no one had pursued. The researchers had been studying a strain of mice without an immune system to learn how it affected the development of schistosomiasis. They noticed that the mice never excreted the worm eggs and did not make granulomas. But, the researchers found, when they provided the mice with white blood cells, they suddenly began doing so.
At that point, said Dr. Richard M. Locksley, a member of the group who is an expert on immune system hormones, they decided to ask whether it was the hormones the cells secrete, known as cytokines, that allowed the worms to make eggs. They added cytokine after cytokine until they hit on tumor necrosis factor.

A festival offering guests a glimpse of the cutting edge world of 'artificial sex' is coming to London this December.
The International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots had previously being banned in Malaysia but is planned to go ahead at Goldsmiths University in south east London between December 19-20.
The conference will explore a number of themes from cyber sex toys to humanoid robots, The Daily Star reports.
Dr Kate Devlin a Goldsmiths computing lecturer who is organising the conference believes that it's time to explore new approaches to robo-sexuality.
She said:
I think robots could become our lovers in the future. Does love have to be reciprocated in order to be valid?
Dr Devlin has defended the notion of 'robosexuality' in the past arguing a ban on human robot relationships was wrong.
Her research aims to create a new narrative while moving away from the idea of sex robots defined as machines used as sex objects, as substitutes for human partners, made by men, for men.
While some people may turn their nose up at the idea of sleeping with a robot some experts claim that sleeping with robots will overtake sex with humans by 2050.
Who knows maybe they're right and we're heading for a Westworld style robosexual theme park.

Welcome to Write or Die Wednesdays: A Writer's Link-Up! We are Vashelle and Mia inviting you to partake in some creative writing with us every other week.
If you are new to this link-up and wondering what Write or Die is all about, check it out here!
A big thanks to everyone that linked up in the last WODW. The prompt prompted a nice collection of poetry and prose, many of which had an empowering lean to them. Loved Becca's poem dedicated to those enduring domestic abuse, as well as Corrine's that outlined a journey into adulthood and the self-assurance that comes with it. Also, Sheryl's post reminds us that it's never too late to reach your peak!
This week's prompt has us contemplating this phrase. What does it mean to you?
Happy writing!
I wrote a few weeks ago about needing and wanting some adventure in my life. I'm tired of playing it safe and doing the same old thing. Routine has become my enemy. I put hiking the Appalachian Trail on my bucket list and I'm more determined than ever to make it happen. Inspired by books such as A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, Wild by Cheryl Strayed, and Becoming Odyssa by Jennifer Pharr Davis, I want to set out on my own adventure.
I've been devouring Appalachian Trail hiking guides like nobody's business. I think the more research I do, the better my experience will be. Adventure is one thing, but recklessness is something else entirely. I want to do it right and I want to be prepared.
But obviously, hiking 2,100+ miles is a huge task. I want to take some baby steps before I tackle that beast. I'd love to get some day hikes in. The Trail runs through Virginia, so it wouldn't be too terribly far for me to go there and do some practice runs. It would be good for me to see how heavy my pack would be. It'll help me see how much food I might need per day, help me break in new hiking boots, help me get used to sleeping in the great outdoors. All that good stuff.
Every time I think about it, I get goosebumps. I picture the beautiful sunrises and sunsets I would get to see. Maybe some wildlife (hopefully not too close, though, ha!). I think about the sounds of nature – birds and insects and the wind. I think about travelling long distances on my own 2 feet – how that accomplishment will feel. I think about being able to clear my mind and write down my thoughts each day.
I know it won't be all puppies and unicorn farts. I know that it will rain. I know there will be bugs and snakes. I know I might alternately sweat and freeze. I know that using the bathroom will be just oodles of fun, except not really.
But I also know that I will regret it if I don't at least try. Maybe I won't make it the whole way. Maybe I'll decide hiking is terrible and I hate it. Who knows. But I have to try.
I have to get off the beaten path at least once in my life.
How do you get off the beaten path? Where does your road take you?
