Dediu Newsletter Vol. 3 N 1 (25) 6 December 2018 Michael M Dediu

November 2018 was full of events, like the U. S. elections - with some expected changes in the House of Representatives and at the local level, but the budget deficit remains there. The 41st U. S. President, George Herbert Walker Bush, passed away at 94 years 5 months and 18 days. There are many good news from research in science, medicine, technology, and other areas: a biotech company developed biodegradable antimicrobial paint for ships, Amazon is offering free shipping with no purchase minimum, for the first time, this holiday season, and the Bedford, MA-based company NinePoint received approval from FDA for the AI-based IRIS upgrade for the NvisionVLE Imaging System, which is used in the imaging of esophageal tissue. In this 1st newsletter of the third volume, the 25th in total, we included the most relevant news, in a balanced approach, usually directly from the source, to help the general public better understand the realities around us. We included also several nice photos. Being well and correctly informed is a sine qua non requirement for everybody, in order to make the right decisions for the future.
