Earth's Oceans?
We know more about Space than we know what is under the seas of Earth, only 5% has so far been explored by private civil scientific research and despite the more programming of the underwater most subs can only travel to a depth of 300 to 600 metres into the dark cold world of fluorescent fishes!
What the military know on the other hand remains mostly top secret, but what is known is that the Ocean floors are not flat and there are many mountain ridges that never break the surface of the waters? Some of these plate plateaus are the size of Australia, while others continue from the land masses into the depths!
New discoveries are being made everyday and we now know that many wales, and sharks can dive to great depths into this dark world. What lies below remains a mystery, apart from some strange stories of giant electric creatures heard and registered by Nuclear submarines miles down?

Research Ships?
A plastic and Nuclear Ocean!
Nearly every nation that has access to the Sea or to large bodies of water will have their own fleet of survey vessels and research ships. But what they are used for remains ''hush, hush'' in most cases apart from the obvious?
Nuclear dumping and plastic waste in the oceans needs regular monitoring, but there is also concern as to why the crust under the oceans is warming up! This has been a sudden change in recent years and is part of the climate change debate, rather than smog an the established facts of the Sun?
Much research is also made in relation to mining and the discovery of oil and gas fields, now that we are running out of fossil fuels on the land masses! These vessels come in all sizes and shapes and some are equipped with helicopter decks for re-supply and also work in the Polar regions!
Data collected can be sent via the Internet back to their respective countries for collation and analyses.

Boaty McBoatface.
'I just could not resisit it.'
What a name for a southern oceans research ship?
Humour or not, they had to go with number two Sir David Attenborough?
Many nations employ these types of vessels, mostly to protect their isolated assests? The British case being the disputed Falkland Islands, South-Geogia and the Sandwich group.
These vessels measure sea tempratures and study aspects of underwater volcanism and many other supposed secret of the deep on of them being the level of radioactivity from the dumping of deep water waste.
Russia and China have huge fleets of such vessels mostly used for spying in the name of science? They too have their intrest now with the illegal occupation of the spratley Islands between Vieatnam and the Philippines.
Cable laying, monitoring of submarines, oil slicks and plankton activity are a few of the other areas.
These vessels are of a new design to cope more with their longer periods at sea. The helicopter deck is now at the front, while the rear has winches and cranes. Mini manned and robotic subs are carried along with internal scientific facilities.

Snow Patrol. Part-One.
Vehicle Adaptions.
There is money in snow, one has only to ask the Swiss, French and Austrians!
Many vehicles have been adapted to work in snowy conditions, while many more have been specifically designed to operate all the time. Caterpillar tracks have the great advantage over the wheel in moving through snow and ice, but there is much more to this area than one might think!
Many vehicles can be fitted with snow ploughs and they have a limited use in clearing roads to rails, but the problems only start when the snow freezes and is extremely difficult to shift. Many early types started life as military vehicles (British Army Viking) and are now standard civilian vehicles used in a huge variety of ways from utility to scientific research.
Skies work great, when the surface is flat and smooth with many aircraft and helicopters being capable of operations in high mountains and winter flying conditions. Kamov Ka-32

Two Breakthroughs.
First possible commercial Solar powered Car.
Australia who is the leader in the field of Solar (Sun) powered vehicles have developed a vehicle which can now be mass produced and sold to the general public. Every invention has to start somewhere and this one has come out of forty years of continued development and research.
The Solar powered car will not be at a loss even here in the U.K., because it like an electric car can take a charge.
The second Breakthrough is the development of a Bionic suit that helps those who are not able to walk, walk.
Some of the research from this has come from Space suit design, while the rest from connecting the human nervous system to a chip.

Trawlers. Part-Two.
Issues.
When we talk about the fishing industry today many people get upset about the lack of stocks and the problems of overfishing. Yet every nation that has a coast or large lakes will have fishing families that rely on the industry in one form or another.
People need to sit back and do some research into the history of the industry, one hundred years ago the traditional fish supper fed the masses of the working classes in Britain and Ireland and perhaps in a few other countries too.
The word sustainable is big amongst those who know very little about livelihoods and the dangers of working the seas and lakes with any kind of boats. Many fisher people have been drowned on a lake with a line and hook, apart from severe weather at sea.
