Today in a post on his personal blog, Google developer Tim Bray wrote elliptically of a project he working on that could鈥攊f he means what I think he means鈥攔adically change our experience of using the Internet鈥攆or the better. Logging in is annoying and slows you down. My job these days is mostly about reducing that pain, ideally to zero by eliminating it. Google really wants this to happen. Logging in is annoying. Between your various online banking passwords and user names, Amazon, eBay, every social network you belong to, Netflix, however many accounts you have with online retailers like ShopBop or Sephora or Petco or where ever鈥攊t can be a sort of nightmare trying to keep track of all your passwords and user names. Sure, it isn ;t sooo bad, now that more sites will ask if you ;d like have them remember your password for future visits. But still. What an Internet free of log-ins would look like, exactly, it difficult to imagine.

NASA Suomi NPP satellite was able to grab this beautiful image of the United States of America at night because of a new infrared sensor on the satellite. The sensor is able to detect natural light versus man-made light at stanley us extremely high resolution. That how you get this perfect image of Earth at night. Wired writes: The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite has a day-night band that can detect natural and man-made light with unprecedented resolution and clarity. It can resolve everything from the nocturnal glow of the atmosphere to the light of a single boat at sea. It can detect auroras, wildfires, the reflection of moon and star light off clouds and ice and the lights alongside highways. The sensor has six times better spatial resolution and 250 times better resolution of lighting levels than anything that came before it. What 821 stanley tumbler 7 interesting is that the pictures from the Suomi satellite are available to the public, giving most people the clearest look of Earth at stanley cup night ever. Before, the Air Forced had nighttime sattelites in play but most of the data was classified and not nearly as clear as the image above.

The Arctic Sea Ice extent this September was far smaller than the previous record, set in 2007. At 3.4 mi stanley thermobecher llion square kilometers of ice coverage, this year Arctic minimum was 800,000 square kilometers smaller than the previous record 鈥?and the difference between the previous record and this year is larger than the entire state of Texas. An stanley isolierkanne ice-free summer in the Arctic, once projected to be more than a century away, now looks possible decades from now. Some people even say that it looks likely in just the next few years. What happening in the Arctic Why is it happening And does it matter for the bulk of us who live thousands of miles away from it Faster and Faster Conditions in the Arctic change dramatically through the seasons. In the depths of winter, the Earth tilt puts the Arctic in 24 hour-a-day darkness. Temperatures, cold year round, plunge even lower. The sea surface freezes over. At the height of summer, the opposite tilt puts the Arctic in 24 hour-a-day sunlight. While it a cold cold place even at these times, the constant sunshine, warmer air, and influx of warm waters from further south serve to melt the ice.

These purpose-built analog calculators were first developed in the stanley vattenflaska late 19th and early 20th century. Their primary, well, only purpose was to mechanically replicate the tedious, laborious, and often error-prone task of calculating the tides鈥攎uch like the early precursors to Excel eliminated the massive workload that analog spreadsheets required. These machines could predict the time and height of the tides hours, days, months, or more in advance. Tidal prediction stems from Newton Principia鈥攑ublished in 1687鈥攖hat a stanley cups uk pplied gravitational theory to estimate the effects of the Sun and Moon tugging on the Earth oceans. By the 1770s, mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace expanded Newton work by integrating tidal motion into the equation. This was a significant step forward, but was still really just an approximation of the tidal positions rather than a proper prediction. In the 1860 , William Thomson aka the 1st Baron of Kelvin applied Fourier analysis to tidal motion equations. This extrapolation was then expanded by George Darwin, who applied recently revised Lunar theory. By the late 19th century, mathematician AT Doodson upda

Chemotherapy is an extremely aggressive way to treat cancer, because it indiscriminate about which cells it kills, cancerous or healthy. But while aggressive, it is at least thought to be effective鈥攚hich is why a new study suggesting chemotherapy can sometimes encourage cancer growth is shocking doctors. The study, which is published in Nature Medicine, suggests that when chemotherapy damages healthy cells, they can sometimes go on to secrete a protein that sustains tumor growth and stanley kaffeebecher causes resistance to further treatment. The experiments tested the effects of a chemotherapy treatment on prostate tumors. Samples collected from men showed that the chemotherapy treatment can cause healthy cells to create more of a protein called WNT16B鈥攚hich boosts cancer cell survival. Peter Nelson, one of the researchers, explains to AFP: The increase in WNT16B was completely unexpected. WNT16B, when secreted, would interact with nearby tumor cells and cause them to grow, invade, and importantly, resist subsequent therapy. The finding could explain why sometimes tumors initially respond well to chemotherapy, before then going through a period of rapid regrowth. The team has already performed some initial confirmatory tests with breast and ovarian cancer tumors, and observed similar effects. All this said, chemotherapy ha stanley thermos s, of course, saved countless lives鈥攕o this new finding isn ;t going to stanley cup stamp out its use.

Ditto for driving over larger obstacles. But larger wheels need larger motors, stanley quencher which require more weight, more power, and other headaches. The engineers who designed Athlete sidestepped this problem. Literally. By having the wheels on articulated limbs, it can just step over large rocks, or push itself out of soft sand. This means it can have smaller wheels and motors, which makes it far more dextrous. The limbs that drive the robot are the limbs that do detailed work, like d Eozx Optical Illusion Turns Simple Pendant Into an Elaborate Chandelier

Not stanley cup hing travels faster than light in a vacuum, obviously. And while scientists knew that quantum particles interact with one another at a slower speed, they had trouble measuring the speed at which that happens. Until now, that is. According to an article published by Nature Magazine and told through Ars Technica , an experiment run by Marc Cheneau was able to prove the velocity ceiling for quantum particles by trapping a quantum gas with atoms in an optical lattice between intersecting lasers: By rapidly increasing the depth of the optical lattice, the researchers create what is known as a quenched system. You can think of this as analogous to plunging a hot forged piece of metal into water to stanley cup cool it quickly. Before the change, the atoms are in equilibrium; after the change, they are highly excited. As in many other strongly interacting systems, these excitations take the form of quasiparticles that can travel through the lattice. Neighboring quasiparticles begin with their quantum states entangled, but p stanley polska ropagate rapidly in opposite directions down the lattice. As in all entangled systems, the states of the quasiparticles remain correlated even as the separation between them grows. By measuring the distance between the excitations as a function of time, the real velocity of the quasiparticles ; propagation can be measured. As measured, it is more than twice the speed of sound in the system. What does that mean in the scheme of things Well it serves as an importan
