A Japanese sake maker is going where no sake maker has gone before: space. Asahi Shuzo, the company behind the popular Japanese sake brand Dassai, plans to blast sake ingredients to the International Space Station (ISS) to ferment a very special brew.

A standard serve is 80ml, making it one very expensive drink. “There is no guarantee of 100% success for the fermentation tests,” said Souya Uetsuki, the brewer in charge of the project at Asahi Shuzo. He said the difference in gravity could affect how heat transfers in fluid, causing a different fermentation process in space than on Earth. The company has paid the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for access to the Kibo experiment module, part of the ISS developed by Japan, where tests can be conducted in a “special microgravity environment.” The national space agency said they would not comment on the privately paid project. Sake is made of Japanese rice, water, yeast and koji (a type of mold). It traditionally takes about two months to make through a series of precise steps that involve steaming, stirring and fermenting. The drink is sipped from a glass at many Japanese cultural occasions — from weddings to meals at pub-like izakaya restaurants — and last week landed a spot on UNESCO’s list of the “intangible cultural heritage of humanity.” Dassai — meaning “otter festival” in Japanese — is one of the most popular sake brands on the market. However, its maker is also behind premium products that are popular with collectors, some willing to spend up to thousands of dollars for a bottle. Asahi Shuzo’s foray into space is more than just another attempt to make another rare sake, according to the brewer. Uetsuki said the company hoped the project would offer insights into how fermentation works in space, so perhaps one day they can make sake on the moon. “In a future where humans can freely travel between the moon and Earth, some will visit the moon as tourists. This project aims to create sake that can be enjoyed on the moon, allowing visitors to have delightful moments there,” he said. He hopes the technology will also benefit future space tourists who have a penchant for other types of fermented food. “Many Japanese foods, such as natto and miso, are fermented, and this technology could expand into these areas,” Uetsuki said. The company is developing space brewing equipment, with a planned launch date later in 2025.

Altman to Musk: Don't go full supervillain – that's so un-American

A PETROLHEAD discovered a graveyard full of rusted muscle cars including Mustangs, GTOs and Corvettes. Car enthusiast Ryan Brutt uncovered countless classics, including a 1967 Mustang GT fastback, on the site in Detroit, Michigan . As well as stumbling across the Mustang , the car fanatic also found a 1970 Chevelle which was perched on top of a broken-down bus. There was a four-door Pontiac Catalina and a Mustang SportsRoof from 1970 nestled in some weeds. But the cherry on top of the cake was a 1969 Mach 1 Mustang, which Ryan said was one of his "all-time favourite cars". It was also dumped on top of a bus for safe-saving purposes, but he decided to get a better look. "It was even in the right colour. From afar it was a good-looking car, but up close it was bad, very bad," he wrote in an article for Hot Rod . He said that the entire vehicle was "completely rusted out" and one of the doors had been left open for so long a tree had grown through it. Just when they had entered the yard, the pair came across a 1967 GTO and a 1970 Corvette . After popping the hood on the GTO, he came across two four-barrel carburettors in the "complete" car. Cutting his losses, Ryan came across a Cougar and another GTO, which had a small-block Chevrolet engine under the hood. There was also a 1970 Chevelle SS396, which surprised him due to the car's rarity. He said: "This one had not had an easy life. It was pretty much a complete wreck but still wore the SS396 badges on the fenders with honor. "You could still make out the SS stripes on the decklid," he added. In the outdoor Aladin's Cave was a Malibu from 1970, which had an original cowl induction hood which was open. One of the cars held a darker history and had been taken to the scrapyard after it was driven in a murder attempt. Ryan was given a tour of the yard by a fellow car enthusiast who told him that the Coronet 500 was driven by a man who was trying to kill his girlfriend. The sports car had been wrapped around a tree in the collision and the driver had been jailed for his crime. Working his way back through the site, he came across a pair of "nearly complete" 1966 Mustang fastbacks next to each other. On the other side of the section was the car the fellow enthusiast felt was the best on the site, a basically untouched 1970 1/2 Camaro Z28. Looking under the hood, the pair found the original engine with nearly all its original components. He described how "cool" it was to see another car, a 1967 Camaro SS convertible, had come from Berger Chevrolet, the famous Grand Rapids, Michigan supercar dealership. The red car has a red interior and still has the "By Berger" emblem on the tail panel. Ryan, who shares his knowledge on social media, has created a map where he pin points dumped vintage cars for other fans to marvel at. He explained that finding a junkyard filled with old cars is getting more difficult, but he insisted that there are plenty dotted across America.PUNE: Students of the Army Institute of Technology (AIT) displayed exceptional talent and innovative skills by winning the first prize in two problem statements in the prestigious ‘Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2024’.

AP Sports SummaryBrief at 1:23 p.m. ESTMr Bayrou, 73, a crucial partner in Macron’s centrist alliance, has been a well-known figure in French politics for decades. His political experience is seen as key in efforts to restore stability as no single party holds a majority at the National Assembly. Mr Macron’s office said in a statement that Mr Bayrou “has been charged with forming a new government”. During the handover ceremony, Mr Bayrou said that “no one knows the difficulty of the situation better” than he does. “I’ve taken reckless risks all along my political life to raise the issue of debt and deficits in the most important elections,” he said. France is under pressure from the European Union’s executive body and financial markets to reduce its colossal debt, estimated to reach 6% of its gross domestic product this year. “I know that the risks of difficulties are much greater than the chances of success,” Mr Bayrou said, adding that he hopes to lead the country towards a “needed reconciliation”. “I think this is the only possible path to success,” he said. The new prime minister is expected to hold talks with political leaders from various parties in the coming days in order to choose new ministers. Former prime minister Michel Barnier resigned last week following a no-confidence vote prompted by budget disputes in the National Assembly, leaving France without a functioning government. Mr Macron in an address to the nation vowed to remain in office until his term ends in 2027. Mr Macron’s centrist alliance does not have a majority in parliament and Mr Bayrou’s Cabinet will need to rely on moderate lawmakers from the left and the right to be able to stay in power. Some conservatives are expected to be part of the new government. Mr Macron’s strategy aims at preventing far-right leader Marine Le Pen from holding “make or break” power over the government. Ms Le Pen helped oust Mr Barnier by joining her National Rally party’s forces to the left to pass the no-confidence motion last week. Mr Bayrou’s appointment is also in line with Mr Macron’s efforts to build a non-aggression pact with the Socialists so that they commit not to vote against the government in any future confidence motion. Mr Bayrou leads the centrist Democratic Movement, known as MoDem, which he founded in 2007. In 2017, he supported Mr Macron’s first presidential bid and became a weighty partner in the French president’s centrist alliance. At the time, he was appointed justice minister, but he quickly resigned from the government amid an investigation into the MoDem’s alleged embezzlement of European Parliament funds. Mr Bayrou this year was cleared in the case by a Paris court, which found eight other party officials guilty and sentenced the party to pay a fine. Mr Bayrou became well known to the French public when he was education minister from 1993 to 1997 in a conservative government. He was three times a candidate for president: in 2002, 2007 and 2012.

Macron names ally Bayrou as new PM as he aims to restore political stabilityPotential TikTok bidder seeks a CEO, prepares business overhaul

Shares of Nukkleus Inc (NUKK) rocketed over 12x on Tuesday after the fintech firm announced it has acquired a 51% controlling stake in Star 26 Capital Inc., a defense acquisition company holding 95% ownership in RIMON. RIMON is an Israeli supplier of critical components for the Iron Dome missile defense system, and other defense and tactical solutions. Following the announcement and the subsequent surge in share price, the stock became the top trending ticker on Stocktwits. Despite the huge rally, the stock is still far from its one-year high of about $86. Nukkleus said the transaction was finalized on Dec. 15, 2024. The total purchase price stood at $26 million, including cash, a promissory note for Nukkleus's common stock, and warrants to purchase additional shares of the common stock. The firm said the acquisition also includes an option agreement that permits Nukkleus to acquire the remaining equity in Star 26 at a later date. With the acquisition, Nukkleus said it gained control over RIMON's diversified operations, including two key business lines: the distribution of generators, masts, and lighting solutions and the development of tactical vehicles. CEO Manny Shalom said the acquisition of Star 26 and RIMON aligns with the firm’s strategic pivot to capitalize on opportunities in the defense sector, which has seen rapid growth due to geopolitical shifts in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. “This has resulted in a surge of investments and acquisitions in Israeli defense firms such as PARAGON and PROTEGO, alongside a 120% increase in Israel's defense indices and a 38% rise in similar indices in the US,” Shalom said. Nukkleus also said it plans to integrate Star 26 operations into its business structure and will explore further growth opportunities. It seeks to broaden its activities into other sectors, serving as a merchant bank for companies in banking, U.S. real estate, and technology-populated co-working space campus locations. Meanwhile, the massive rally in the stock price led to a surge in retail chatter on Stocktwits. Most followers of the ticker expressed enthusiasm. Interestingly, NUKK stock has lost over 33% on a year-to-date basis despite the surge on Tuesday. For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.<

Hyperconnected employees experiencing ‘dark side’ of digital work

It’s here. American Thanksgiving. While most of our friends south of the border look at the late-November holiday and think NFL when it comes to sports, most Canadians view it through a different lens. They examine the NHL standings – hoping that their team is above the playoff line. Why? Since realignment occurred over a decade ago, 80% of the teams that are in playoff spots at Thanksgiving qualify for the post-season. For those that are mathematically challenged, that’s 13 out of 16 teams. That was the case last season as well as Edmonton, Nashville and the New York Islanders were the only teams to make the playoffs despite being on the outside looking in on Nov. 23, 2023. Last year on that date, the Vancouver Canucks had 27 points and only the Vegas Golden Knights — with 30 — had more. The Canucks performance in those first 20 games basically clinched a playoff spot. This season the Canucks haven’t been as fortunate. Not having the services of all-star goaltender Thatcher Demko since the start of the season due to a knee injury was the first issue that the hockey club had to deal with. Dakota Joshua also missed the first 14 games recovering from off-season cancer surgery. Brock Boeser suffered what appeared to be a concussion on Nov. 7 and missed seven games but was set to return to the lineup in Boston against the Bruins on Tuesday night. Then there’s J.T. Miller, who took a leave of absence on Nov. 19 for personal reasons. Add it all up and it’s a Canuck team that has been treading water without their three All-Stars from a year ago. After Monday’s games, Vancouver was below the playoff bar with 23 points, trailing both Colorado and Edmonton by one point for the two wildcard spots. The Canucks are also two points behind the Los Angeles Kings for third place in the Pacific Division. The good news with all of these scenarios is that the Canucks have played the least number of games — 19 — of any team in the National Hockey League entering Tuesday’s game versus Boston. They have three games in hand on Edmonton, Colorado and Los Angeles. However, the question remains: will the Canucks make the playoffs? Many assume once the team gets 100% healthy, they will find a way to get it done but you know what they say about people who assume. Let’s start with Demko, the 28-year-old who compiled a 2.45 goals-against-average and a .918 save percentage last season to go along with 35 wins in 51 games. Since March 10, he has played a grand total of four games; that’s four games in eight months. After such a lengthy layoff, the biggest concern for Demko will be timing and getting used to the intensity level of NHL games. As we often say when it comes to football, nothing duplicates game speed. For Demko, getting used to the speed and regular chaos of NHL games will be a challenge. Then there is Boeser, who had been out of the lineup for almost three weeks after taking a headshot from Tanner Jeannot in a game against the Kings in early November. Hopefully, there won’t be any lingering symptoms from that injury and Boeser can regain the pace that saw him score 40 goals last year and which he was duplicating this season with six goals in 12 games. As for Miller, when he does return, what player will the Canucks be getting? His play had dipped to the point where he was benched for the last 14:40 of the third period in his final game versus Nashville on Nov. 17. Miller’s production had waned with only six goals and ten assists in 17 games – well off the levels from a year ago when he tallied 37 goals and 66 assists. Then there are other issues that are of concern as well. The second defensive pair of Tyler Myers and Carson Soucy has struggled this season to the point where the organization is checking in with other teams as they look to get help for their blue line corps. What has compounded the problem is that Tocchet has emphasized since training camp that he wants his defencemen to be more involved in the offense and generating more chances. That doesn’t exactly fit into the skill set of either Myers or Soucy so it’s been noted that the Canucks are talking to other teams with Pittsburgh’s Marcus Pettersson being a player of interest. Although Pettersson is a solid defender, he’s not exactly the answer to the Canucks problems when it comes to offence from the back-end. While we are on the topic of Petterssons, the enigma known as Elias Pettersson will need to regain the form that saw him be a dynamic play-driver who scored 30-plus goals the last three seasons. Tocchet and the organization wanted to see more of an investment from Pettersson and the Swede has shown signs of improvement with four goals and six assists in his last seven games. There are other positive signs as well. Quinn Hughes continues to play at a Norris Trophy-calibre level while Kevin Lankinen has provided consistent goaltending during Demko’s absence. Conor Garland continues to play like Conor Garland and Pius Sutter and Teddy Blueger continue to provide good depth while new additions Kiefer Sherwood and Erik Brannstrom have exceeded expectations. Given what we know about the U.S Thanksgiving Day playoff trend, it’s not a slam dunk that the Canucks will make the post-season but it’s not a slam dunk they won’t either. Unlike last year when the team had enough of a cushion in the standings to play games pressure-free for the most part in the second half, it appears they won’t have that luxury this season. As Tocchet always likes to say, things are going to just keep ‘getting tougher’ and the Canucks are going to have to ‘embrace the hard’ as they deal with the grind of an NHL season. Their playoff hopes will depend on it. Veteran B.C. sports personality Bob “the Moj” Marjanovich writes twice weekly for Black Press Media.
