My 100 word idea to change Malta
By Prof. Kris Zarb Adami

Malta should set up a coastal over-the-horizon radar (developed at ISSA—Institute of Space Science and Astronomy) with the capability of detecting small fast-moving vessels within a 1000 km radius. Coupling the radar system with a fleet of drones to measure and track the status of vessels and occupants will give unprecedented response time to any maritime emergencies. These drones could then be used to deliver payloads to treat any medical emergencies, while search and rescue ships slowly make their way to the vessels. Collaboration and coordination with other Mediterranean countries could result in a drastic reduction of maritime mortalities.

While this is by no means an exhaustive list, we’ve selected six scrumptious dumplings to whet your appetite!

Life Against Entropy

Most of us move through life with a quiet certainty that being alive is self-evident. We grow, think, love, worry, plan. We distinguish instinctively between what lives and what does not. A person is alive; a stone is not. A dog is alive; a machine is not. The line feels obvious, until someone asks us to explain it.
