Russian space supremo says ISS could be in danger, suggests Biden has Alzheimer's
Mike Kilpatrick 28/02/2022..The International Space Station (ISS) could be in danger from sanctions imposed on Russia, the head of the country's space agency has warned.
Roscosmos director general Dimitry Rogozin also suggested that President Joe Biden was suffering from Alzheimer's and told the US not to "behave like an irresponsible gamer" in a bizarre Twitter thread.
After saying the US had already sanctioned Russia's space program by blocking access to radiation-resistant microelectronics, Rogozin wondered if Biden was willing to destroy the cooperation between the two countries on the ISS. That could be potentially dangerous as the Russian segment of the ISS looks after the guidance, navigation and control for the whole station, the European Space Agency has said. Click here

Creative genius Anonymouz on upcoming project ‘Re-Sample Tatau’
by Hanalei Foliaki...FEBRUARY 12, 2022 In 2014 producer and artist Faiumu Matthew Salapu – also known as Anonymouz – was doing sound design work at Radio 531PI and NiuFM when he decided he needed the tapping sound of Samoan tatau-making for one of his jingles.
“The Aganu’u Fa’a Samoa 101 lot said, ‘hey, McAuley and De La Selle have got something on at MIT, a live session, you might want to go along to that and record the tapping’,” he says.
Anonymouz says he went along and, as the session concluded, the Tufuga (traditional Samoan tattoo artist) questioned him about whether he carried the Pe’a, to which he responded, “no. He was like [to me], ‘I respect that people in the arts industry will respect your work but to you it’s just a sound, to us it’s a feeling’ and that cut me to my core,” he says.

House-building costs are more than three times what they could be, ComCom told
Tom Pullar-Strecker 15:42, Mar 01 2022 Arguments over the cost of building new homes have begun in earnest with competition advocate Tex Edwards telling the Commerce Commission in a submission that massive economies are possible.
The watchdog is currently carrying out a market study into the building materials industry after voicing concern that there is a narrow choice of suppliers, some of which may be using “loyalty payments and rebates” to restrict competition for some key products.
Edwards said in a Monopoly Watch submission that its research indicated the cost of building “entry level social housing” ran to about $3800 per square metre in New Zealand, but should be about $1200/square-metre according to international best practice.
