Military robots have many advantages compared to human soldiers. Machines don't get tired. They don't close their eyes. They don't hide under trees when it rains. They don't talk to their buddies. They don't feel compassion or pity. They don't have mercy. They don't desert or disobey.

The robots in current use and under development can choose and destroy the targets autonomously but the next step is to create artificial soldiers that can rape civilians and humiliate and torture captured enemies. 

At the moment my favorite military robots are ARV, ACER, ARTS, BigDog, Dassault nEUROn, Dragon Fire II, Dragon Runner, DRDO Daksh, Excalibur unmanned aerial vehicle, Foster-Miller TALON SWORD, Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle, Goalkeeper CIWS, Guardium, IAI Pioneer, iRobot Warrior, MARCbot, MATILDA, MULE, Nöbetçi, Turkish Border Patrol Unit, PackBot, R-Gator, Ripsaw MS1, RQ-1 Predator, RQ-9 Predator B, RAAS, Samsung SGR-A1, SUGV, Syrano and TCUAV.

A separation barrier is a wall or fence constructed to limit the movement of people across a certain line or border, or to separate two populations. These structures vary in placement with regard to international borders and topography. In the history, the most famous examples of separation barriers are probably the Great Wall of China and the Berlin Wall but nowadays there are also plenty of fantastic and sophisticated barriers around the world restricting the movement of the people.

My favorite current and planned separation barriers are United States-Mexico Barrier, Indo-Bangladeshi Barrier, Egypt-Gaza Barrier, Berm of Western Sahara, Pakistan-Afganistan Barrier, Turkmen-Uzbekistan Barrier, Indo-Burma Barrier, China-North Korea Barrier, Uzbek-Kyrgystan Barrier, Israeli West Bank Barrier, Iran-Pakistan Barrier, Russia-Checnya Barrier, Malaysia-Thailand Barrier, Indian Kashmir Barrier, United Arab Emirates-Oman Barrier, Korean Wall, United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus, Botswana-Zimbabwe Barrier, Kuwait-Iraq Barrier, South Africa-Mozambique Barrier, Sharm el-Seikh Barrier, Saudi-Yemen Barrier, Uzbek-Afganistan Barrier, Kazakh-Uzbekistan Barrier, Melilla Border Fence, Ceuta Border Fence, China-Hong Kong Border, China Macau Border, Brunei-Limbang Border, Baghdad Wall and Belfast Peace Lines.

A couple of my paintings were returning from a show in Norway to Korjaamo Galleria, Helsinki. The shipping company asked me to apply an EORI number from the Finnish customs. Norway is not a member of the European Union and that makes shipping a bit complicated.

Anyways, the application seemed to be simple - a PDF form filled with the basic information and e-mailed to the customs. Surprisingly, I got a reply telling that they can't give me the number from Finland because my address is in Spain. My company Riiko Sakkinen is registered only in Finland and I have only a Finnish fiscal number but it's true that my headquarters are physically in Spain. I have no other postal address to give.

I asked from the Spanish customs and they obviously told that they would give me the EORI number if I had a Spanish fiscal number. We have so much European Union but I can't obtain the damn EORI number.

After that incident, I decided to try my luck in an art competition of the Spanish newspaper ABC. I asked Gacma, the gallery representing me in Spain, to enroll me with the neon light I showed in Malaga. Then they found out in the rules that the price is only for Spanish and Latin American artists.

I didn't give up and moved to a residency application for a two months project in Shanghai organized by the Finnish institution HIAP. I began to writemy statement and project plan but had an idea of reading the rules once again - and found out that this was only for artists living in Finland.

It seems that I'm always the worng man in the wrong place. For example, I don't have any social security because in Spain I would get it if I had my business here and in Finland I would benefit of the health care system if I lived there. This is how the things work in the European Union.

My Dearest Friend,

How are you today? I am a female student from University of Burkina-Faso, Ouagadougou. I am 22 yrs old. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you.

I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction. Well, my father died one year ago and left me and my junior brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death. I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young.

My father left the sum of USD12 million in a Bank. This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Gold Exploring companies operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family.

Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the Bank of Africa to your bank account after which I come over to meet with you. I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay 40% of the total amount to you if you help us

Please if you are interested to help me, then get back to me urgent so that I will give you more details including my pictures.

Yours sincerely, Princess Faatina Tozu

What amazing things the Chinese have come up with and now I don't mean the socialist market economy with Chinese charasteristics. China has been during several millennia the source of many significant inventions that have made the world a better place to live for all the people. These inventions include gunpowder, fire lance, cast iron bomb, exploding cannonball, hand cannon, land mine, rocket bomb, multistage rocket warhead, flamethrower and chemical warfare.
