Old Hollywood screen siren Hedy Lamarr is trending thanks to a new biography that reveals details about her lesser known role as an inventor of technology that paved the way for wireless communication.
Lamarr became an MGM staple in the late 30s and 40s, appearing in Algiers and White Cargo, but she was best known for her provocative role in the 1933 Czech film Ecstasy, in which she appeared nude and performed an on-screen orgasm.

In his new book, Hedy?s Folly, author Richard Rhodes explains how Lamarr, along with musical composer George Antheil, invented a device during World War II that created a frequency-hopping radio signal that could evade enemy jamming used to send torpedoes off course. Lamarr's invention became the basis for the technology underlying Wi-Fi, GPS, and certain cordless and wireless phones.

FISHING POLICY AND QUOTA
Fishing policy around the world is destructive. Recommendations from scientists on quotas are ignored by policy makers, wealthy countries plunder the fishing territories of poor countries and bottom trawlers sow destruction all over the seafloor with their dragnets. In Europe, 88% of fish stocks have been overharvested, such as the blue fin tuna which sadly is threatened with extinction.

EFFECTS OF FISHING ON MARINE ECOSYSTEMS
In addition to the effect on the fish stocks, fishing also affects all other organisms in the same habitat or ecosystem. Whether the fish being harvested are predatory or prey, the balance of the ecosystem is disrupted and this can have serious consequences. The degree of disruption strongly depends on the fishing method employed.
