Laser-Induced Magnetism synthetic

For the first time, physicists have been able to create "synthetic magnetism. This rare condition, which is reached by using laser light, causes the atoms to behave exactly as if they are charged particles within a magnetic field, even though they have no charge and there is no field these characteristics. Far from being a laboratory curiosity, this experiment will provide new ways of studying the nature of some particular states of matter.
There are a number of phenomena, almost always related to the world of subatomic particles and quantum physics that are of interest to physicists. The way they interact with two electrons in two dimensions contained within a magnetic field, for example, is difficult to investigate using conventional materials such as semiconductors. Not only is it difficult to control the many variables involved, but the samples used are defects or irregularities have little help in reaching a reliable result. However, this type of research is important. Not only for basic physics, but for the development of new devices useful for quantum computing and information science. The "synthetic magnetism, induced by the use of laser light, gives scientists a new way of modeling and analyzing quantum systems while maintaining full control of all parameters involved.

"The creation of synthetic magnetic fields for neutral atoms to design experiments that were impossible until now," says Ian Spielman, leader of the research group of the Joint Quantum Institute and the National Fitness Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Spielman is the specialist who wrote the article on this subject which is published in the latest issue of the journal Nature. The scientists used in their experiment a group of atoms of rubidium-87, which were "slowed" by the Zeeman method and then lock them in a magneto-optical trap. These atoms were subjected to further evaporative cooling until a temperature just above absolute zero (only 100 nano-Kelvin). Under conditions of low energy, the atoms form that physicists call a "Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). This is a very strange state of matter in which most of the atoms of a group occupy the same quantum state of energy, behaving as if they were a single "super atom."

"The atoms form a "Bose-Einstein condensate"


Then, we applied a small (and variable) magnetic field perpendicular to the BEC, producing a gradient which atoms affected differently depending on their position along an axis of the magneto-optical trap. Then, two lasers with a wavelength of 801.7 nm (near infrared), oriented at angles of 90 degrees from each other, focused on atoms. As a result of the interaction between the magnetic field and laser beams, it altered the properties of atoms in different ways, depending on their location within the trap. As a result of all this nonsense that only physicists enjoy the atoms located at specific points began to move in a way that Spielman had been predicted earlier this year as you would a charged particle rotating in a magnetic field .

This experiment, says Spielman, "will have a substantial impact on various areas of quantum research, particularly as regards the behavior of electrons confined in different geometries, as in real materials." Who knows, maybe your next computer or sex toy to work through the principles discovered by Spielman.

He was arrested for claim 266 fake iPhones

This is the story of a passenger who was returning from China to his native Grenada, with a stopover in London and then change trains in Madrid. As happens with so much baggage trasvasije, the suitcase did not follow his master and his arrival at Madrid there was no way to find, so that the passenger pressed a claim to get angry "if the case appeared, she was referred to your destination final, or compensate him.

The thing is that eventually the suitcase appeared. He arrived at Madrid Barajas and sent back to Granada, where before proceeding with its owner did go through the same process through which travelers pass before leaving the airport. The Civil Guard watched the X-ray bag and noticed the presence of dozens of mobile phones, whereupon they proceeded to open it.

There were 266 phones Apple iPhone seemingly authentic. As it is not reaching many mobile and transport it makes sense that this man had had to pay heavy taxes for customs clearance, but the amount aroused the suspicions of the police, who contacted the official distributor of Apple to review the contents of the suitcase. As you probably guessed, were more fake three-dollar bill.

Police went swiftly to the address of the passenger, where we imagine told good news and bad. The good news is that his suitcase had appeared and bad, that he would leave prison for industrial property crime. The possibility exists that the clever but casual importer has lost his bag on purpose, believing that if it were to leave in response to a complaint could skip the revision of the output. Clearly it did not work.

Apple stop supporting Mac OS X Tiger

Computer users remem Mac Operating System Mac OS X Tiger should be facing a great dilemma after Apple stopped supporting this version of your OS.

Historically the company has maintained support for the two latest versions of their OSes, which in the case relate to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), retiring to version 10.4 of Mac OS X (Tiger).

The problem is that current users of Macs based on PowerPC processors can not update their equipment to Snow Leopard (because it only supports Intel processors), so to continue receiving security updates and patches to their computers necessarily should upgrade to Leopard .

This at first glance but it is quite logical in reality is somewhat complex because Apple no longer sells in its stores Leopard, so that interested parties must go to facilities or secondhand stores still remain smaller than their inventory, who have begun to raise its price seeing growing demand in recent weeks.

The Large Hadron Collider is sabotaged by a dove

Apparently someone continues to wag with the people responsible for operating the Large Hadron Collider which is already more than a year late. This time a piece of bread that fell into the ventilation system caused the system to overheat.

That is, there was a leak of helium, a software error, terrorist or time travelers. It was a piece of bread that was originally part of a baguette and drop it apparently divine dove into the system.

Cooling systems are located to keep the collider operating at a temperature of 1.9 above absolute zero. As soon there is a small increase in temperature the super-conducting magnets stop working and blocking antifallen into operation.

This does not mean that the world will end because of a dove, but the Large Collider will be offline until a few days before its scheduled restart this month.

Peek now taste Twitter

You might not remember, but the Peek was the product of the year of Wired magazine and a favorite of 2008 at Engadget. Why? Because the only thing this gadget does, or does it very well: send and receive emails.

A new member of the family of peeks already available and what it does is send and receive tweets. Your name: TweeterPeek. So far only available on Amazon at a price of USD $ 199.99 which includes service for life or $ 99 with 6 months of service for Tweeter, and then require a monthly payment of $ 7.95 (coverage only for the U.S. ).

Although the device can not surf the Internet, will send tweets, direct messages, replies and display images hosted on twitpic.com. Some of his most important specifications include a battery life of up to 4 days, color screen of 2.7 × 4 ", QWERTY keyboard and side navigation bar (similar to older models of BlackBerry).

Yo I can not imagine using a gadget like this, only to send tweets, but until not long ago I could not imagine carrying my emails on my phone.

Video: Guitar Hero controlled by futbol balls

Football and Guitar Hero may be two great passions for some, and put them together would be a dream. How do I accomplish this? Well, basically you need a copy of the game, many balls, giant sensors for buttons and a projector.

"Football Hero" is the experiment we performed a freestyle team of players in England, sponsored by Umbro and playing "Frets on Fire", a Open Source version of the popular game. Actually they do quite well, reaching an accuracy of 76% in pushing the buttons ... impressive considering that are pushing with footballs.

Asteroid hit the atmosphere and cause explosions in Indonesia

It's 11 o'clock in the morning and suddenly heard an explosion in the sky. A trail of smoke is marked on the blue background of a cloudless day. A bright object falls. Is it a bird? A plane that falls apart? Superman?

Not so. In Indonesia, an asteroid exploded above the atmosphere, causing fear among the inhabitants of Bone in South Sulawesi.

NASA confirmed a report that a meteorite was between 5 and 10 meters in diameter, crashed into the Earth's atmosphere at about 65,000 mph.

The asteroid exploded with a power of 50 kilotons, three times the energy released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb, but as exploded to more than 15 miles high, not damaged, and the piece that survived the impact ended somewhere near the coast (latitude 4.5 South 120 East).

NASA added that such impacts can be expected once between 2 and 12 years on average (though I have lived more than that and do not remember seeing anything like that before). Normally such asteroids do not cause damage, because to effectively impact the Earth, the object should have a diameter of about 25 meters. And if that happens in 2012, at least we'll have Bruce Willis on the planet.

Demand for Linux netbooks does not convince Acer

The demand for netbooks with Linux would not be enough to maintain a supply of equipment "just Linux," said Jim Wong, global president of Acer's IT products. This would explain why the Aspire One, its first netbook including Linux, will be replaced by a new generation that include Windows 7 and Android.

First, it is not surprising that the inclusion of Windows 7, as in the design of this operating system is considered the hardware restrictions that Vista could not stand and forced Microsoft to extend life of Windows XP. But in the case of Android, a Linux-based system, the explanation is that Wang is included for "connectivity built into the system." One explanation is not very lucky, because in the background is a Linux system and what makes the difference are layers, application level, layers that have nothing to do with connectivity.

Jim Wong also pointed to Internet Explorer as one of the main reasons to install Windows 7 with Android. According to him, people have better productivity and a consistent browsing experience with Internet Explorer. IE is still the dominant browser will not change from night to morning. Probably there will be a single operating system and its netbooks than Windows, but that has to be in the future, not today.

The sale of computers with Windows preinstalled always been a headache for users of Linux, as it is very difficult to get a computer without having to pay a license that in many cases not be used. While there are options to return the license by obtaining the money back, the process can be as complex and fraught with obstacles that the final few complete it. While eliminating all traces of Windows on your Linux system for the statistics of a computer manufacturer is more with Windows.

The asteroid Apophis will not collide with Earth in the year 2036

Apophis (aka 99942) is an asteroid with an orbit close to Earth and that according to NASA data, pass near the Earth in the year 2036 (estimated before 2029) and a small collision with another asteroid could divert toward our planet, where they produce an effect greater than 40,000 atomic bombs.

The B612 Foundation made estimates of Apophis path to follow by 2036 if the impact were to occur, resulting in a trajectory of risk that is located in the southern part of Russia, across the Pacific, passing along the coasts of California and Mexico, then continue between Nicaragua and Costa Rica continuing through the Caribbean Sea to cross the northern regions of Colombia and Venezuela, ending its journey in the Atlantic before arriving in Africa.

This asteroid is about the size of 2.5 football fields and April 13, 2036 would have a dangerous approach of just 30,000 miles on our planet.

But to our recent calculations tranquility documented by Steve Chesley and Paul Chodas, astronomers specializing in near-Earth objects at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA have drastically reduced the likelihood that Apophis hits, leaving behind the 2.7%.

"Techniques for computer updated and new data indicate that the probability of an encounter with Earth on April 13, 2036 has dropped from an over 45,000 and only four million," Chesley said.

I just hope that by then the head of Bruce Willis and Leonard Nimoy are kept alive in a jar of liquid H2OGfat to resolve any last-minute error hehehehehehe

China: Gorgeous lesbian internet forest collapse

This is so peculiar that don't even know where to start, but the old saying ... It is more something like a Chinese news agency that published the story in northern Sweden, there is a town of 25,000 inhabitants, although it is not any inhabitant ... are all gorgeous lesbians living in the forests and are loggers.

When you multiply 25,000 Swedish women lesbians, on your head are many results and more of an idea: how to buy a map and take a vacation in Chako Paul, the city of which we speak.

The problem is that with the news, a lot of Chinese - call it dozens or hundreds of millions - jumped on the internet to research interesting tourist destination, in passing collapsing operators of Internet sites in Sweden and tourism entities and government in northern Sweden.

YouTube Reached 1,000 million views a day

View videos online is a hobby installed on Internet culture, and YouTube today after report proves that is making more than 1,000 million daily views.

"This is a great moment in our short history and we owe everything to you," wrote Chad Hurley, CEO and co-founder of the site's official blog.

Although YouTube already has for some time over the 1.000 million views, the announcement was made today as well because they are 3 years from the acquisition by Google.

"Three years after the acquisition, our platform and our business continues to grow and evolve. We are still committed to the same principles we had at the beginning, " Wrote on the post.

Microsoft confirms Hotmail password theft

The internet is an unsafe place by nature, and has been demonstrated in different ways. Many sites have been attacked by those who seek to endanger their safety for some reason that may or may not be related to that site. Usually, social networks like Facebook and services like Twitter are often high profile targets for crackers with very few scruples, but this time the service has been infringed Windows Live Hotmail, the Microsoft e-mail. According to the report which confirms the fact, would have stolen the passwords of several thousands of email accounts, in what would be a major phishing attacks has been seen to date.


During the day yesterday emerged in the network the alarming news that the safety of over ten thousand mail accounts Windows Live Hotmail would have been compromised due to a phishing attack. Phishing has different ways to express themselves, but one of the most common is the creation of a replica of the home page of a mail service, through which users try to enter without realizing that this is a fake site. Simply enter the email address, password, and press the button to enter, these data are automatically collected to complete a list that can contain a huge number of addresses "kidnapped" along with their passwords.


At first there was speculation that someone had managed to hack the main portal to Windows Live Mail, but Microsoft has denied this outright. There has been no breach of security at the actual site of Hotmail, which would confirm the theory of phishing campaign against Microsoft's service. While it is within the margin of success by phishers, the situation appears more serious. Apparently only a fraction of the list containing email addresses beginning with the letters a and b. Hotmail has 500 million users, so that a base of ten thousand accounts does not appear to be somewhat too broad, but if the list extends to other letters of the alphabet, we would be talking about over a hundred thousand mail accounts compromised.

Fortunately, this is easy to solve for the average user. You only need to enter your Hotmail account and change the password. Now that has been exposed, the mastermind behind this action should take it more in stride, knowing that many of the stolen passwords will no longer be useful in the coming days. Another extra in the way that can protect users is looking version of the page with enhanced security. In that case, use the HTTPS protocol and the connection is at least somewhat safer. If you visit the Hotmail site, you will see access to the bottom of the box for the password. Get used to using it, there's nothing wrong with that.

Video: Boeing laser weapon developed by hitting the nerve

The construction of laser weapons by the United States government seems to be increasingly close to becoming a reality. Recall that the government instructed the Boeing company to develop this technology, a program now exceeding twelve years of hard work.

In August this year, a series of tests that were successful, of which only now have released some videos that show the degree of effectiveness of this technology.

In the video we can see how this weapon gives a target located on the bonnet of a van, with an impressive degree of accuracy if we consider that the beam is being sent from a C-130 Hercules.

Originally the development of this technology was intended as a defense system to destroy enemy missiles in flight, but surely after seeing how effective technology in many other applications will be thinking not so defensive.

Sony achieved important advances in wireless power transmission

Several companies are working on developing the technology that enables wireless transmission of energy, without which so far have certainty when it will be ready to be made available to users.

One of the companies that are more advanced in this matter is Sony, which just introduced a new prototype that manages to convey with 60 Watt of power for a distance of 50 cm, while maintaining an efficiency of 80% continuously.

To achieve this they developed a system based on magnetic resonance imaging, with which it is possible to maintain efficiency in the transfer even when the sender and receiver are aligned (in fact it is not a problem when there are metal objects between the two).

In order to improve the distance obtained with this prototype would be used for energy equipment dealers, which would be achieved by powering equipment on greater distances.

See through walls using wireless signals

Perhaps you hide your thoughts with an aluminum cap, but you can not hide from wireless networks that can reveal your location, even behind a wall.

Researchers at the University of Utah say that the way ranging signals from a wireless network can reveal the movement of a person behind closed doors. Joey Wilson and Neal Patwari have developed a technique called CT images based on the variance radio waves "that processes the signals to show signs of movement. Even the idea has been tested on a wireless network of 34 nodes using the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless standard, the standard for wireless personal area networks with low rates of data transmission, such as ZigBee.

The basic idea is simple. The signal strength at any point in a network is the sum of all paths of radio waves can take to reach the receiver. Any change in the volume of space through which signals pass, for example, caused by the movement of a person, causes the signal strength varies.

Patwari Wilson and say they were able to locate moving objects in the room less than a meter. The team said that there is great potential for improving its system, increasing accuracy and reducing the number of nodes, especially if the system is used with GPS networks, Wi-Fi or cellular networks.

A major benefit is cost, military systems regulated through walls display can cost up to 100 thousand dollars.

This means that the concept of Vision 3D Sonar Batman: The Dark Knight was not entirely unreasonable.

Amazon will pay $ 150,000 US dollars for deleting a homework

Remember that Amazon had the bad idea to remotely wipe the books "1984" and "Animal Farm" a lot of Kindles in the United States without permission from the people who had bought (ironically to George Orwell).

Well, a boy named Justin Gawronski had to do homework on "1984" and had his notes listed on the Kindle, along with the book. One day he woke up and bam! Amazon had eaten their work. So Justin could not think of anything better to sue the company.

Before the court could settle the matter, Amazon agreed with lawyers for Justin through which paid USD $ 150,000, and pledged that he will not delete e-books to its customers.

In any case the agreement indicates that some of these USD $ 150,000 will go to charity. The deal must be approved by a U.S. court, but good news for Kindle users (and the kid who pocketed a lot of dollars through their work lost).

Six Apart presents TypePad Motion

Perhaps some of you remember the Pownce, Twitter that attempt by the creators of Digg, and its uncertain future in the hands of Six Apart. As we now know that the service ended and the use that gave the new owners. The name of the new service is simply TypePad Motion.

Motion is basically TypePad Pownce, but integrated with the rest of the Six Apart and services focused entirely on companies and brands who want to keep their image but also have a web presence, bringing together in one place Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu and others. A major differentiator is that community members can interact by posting notes, photos, audio and video clips, all with microblogging tools we already know.

In fact we are not seeing anything new, but the proposal from Six Apart is offering us an all-in-one, where we do not have to worry about anything else except use it. Of course, all this in exchange for a monthly fee. Prosperity? Do not enter the bulk of the population, but surely companies, actors and singers are the preferred customers of TypePad Motion.

Netbooks to incorporate any version of Windows 7

The restrictions imposed by Microsoft Netbooks manufacturers would seem to be forgotten with the arrival of Windows 7.

Of course because a company spokesman noted that now the manufacturers of these computers can install any version of Windows 7 on them, without any limitations whatsoever. A measure that will be very well received by manufacturers and by users and seeks to counter the growing use of Linux based Operating Systems and the entry of equipment ARM processors.

While this is an excellent measure which we all applauded, in practice we do not know the impact it will have because you do not know the performance you would have a Netbook, and those that are currently marketed with Windows 7 Ultimate and all its graphic paraphernalia enabled (Aero). Another issue that must be considered is the price they might achieve these computers running versions of Windows 7 whose license necessarily raise its market price, so they may no longer be competitive.

At the end have to be Netbooks manufacturers who must see benefit from this measure, which clearly pointed in the right direction.

Apple feeds the rumors about the iTablet

Comparison between the iPhone's screen and the iTablet

The rumor that Apple would soon be launching an iTablet follow the agenda, especially now that we know that the company would have re-signed Michael Tchao, one of the developers of what is now considered one of the devices precursors PDAs: the Newton.

Tchao his position in the company will be the President of Product Marketing, depending directly from Phil Schiller, Apple Senior Vice President and who would polish the shoes of Steve Jobs.

But reports about the iTablet not end there, because a site published some of the features that would have this new device:

* It should have a 10.7 inch screen
* Use the same operating system as the current iPhone, as if design
* I would go in two models: With 3G connectivity and without it
* It would be five times higher resolution than the iPhone (there is talk of 720p)
* Released: January 19, 2010

Clearly this team would not enter into competition with the Netbooks, it would be thought of as a multimedia player with communication skills (it may be possible to use it as eBooks)

Cyborg-insects remote control are now a reality

Some time ago we spoke of DelFly Micro, a "robot" miniature camera and image recognition software, very useful in search and rescue situations but was unlikely to flight stability in real situations (weather, air currents, etc.). So while nanotech takes care of that, creating an army of cyborg insects just one step closer to reality thanks to researchers at the University of California.

The research team led by electrical engineer Hirotaka Sato, recently announced that they have successfully implanted electrodes in a beetle way that allows scientists to control the movements of insect flight.

This system mounted on the dorsal prothorax is nerve stimulators, muscle stimulators, a micro-controller for transmission and reception of radio and a micro-battery.

The DARPA-supported research is part of a broader effort known as the HI-MEMS program, which has been specifically looking for different approaches to the implementation of micro-mechanical systems into insects to control their movements.

A number of research teams are working on this ambitious project by reporting tangible successes. For example, researchers at the University of Michigan have shown the implants in a butterfly flight, but Berkeley scientists seem to have shown an impressive degree of control over the flight of insects, have recently reported that are capable of using an implant for stimulation of nerves in the brain of the beetle to start, stop and control insects in flight.

BIKE yike Say Goodbye to fuel problems, traffic and parking

BIKE yike not just a bike mostly, if not a revolutionary new electric bike, a new alternative transportation you will love.

Imagine! Will not have to pay more for petrol or public transport will not lose much time in traffic or looking for parking or other problems that come from having a car. All this thanks to yike BIKE that is lightweight, very small and it is best to plant.

This vehicle invented by Ryan Grant and engineer Peter Higgins is expected for 2010 has a 1.2kW electric motor, weighs just 10kg and that is made from carbon fiber and as a folding bike can be stored in an area of 15 × 60 × 60 cm.

This new innovation benefits both the person who acquires it as the environment and that by not using non-polluting fuel as a car does.

The environment is being seriously damaged by ourselves for our excessive consumption of fuel, so it's time we start to act and take measures to assist and benefit the environment and this is an excellent idea.

Mystery of UFOs on Google Solve

No one in the Googleplex celebrate anything in the future, is not an advertisement for super servers in space or logos designers that went crazy.

The mystery of UFOs on the logos of Google was resolved today when the boys finally Palo Alto deigned to respond to the issue of flying saucers with the emergence of a third object flying in the home page, following those who showed themselves on 5 and 15 September last.

After many wild conjectures, the truth is that this is a tribute to HG Wells, author of "War of the Worlds," was born on September 21, 1866.

"We wanted to celebrate H.G. Wells as an author who drove fantastic thinking about what is possible on this planet and beyond, "said Google in its official blog.

MySpace and Twitter are synchronized with each other

MySpace in an attempt to modernize itself and not losing users for Facebook, has decided to integrate its services with Twitter updates. In this way all on MySpace status updates can be sent to Twitter and in the same way Twitter updates are sent to MySpace.

This type of features as we have seen between Twitter and Facebook and for me it was a matter of time before MySpace did, in the end it has been but still lacks a long way before he missed.

How to tell your kids that you have a new partner and you're in love

Who has not felt a tickle in the tummy the day he was to introduce the groom to their parents? Who is not filled with recommendations to his partner the first time I joined out of Saturday with her friends and boyfriends? Years pass and yet show our affections the person we've chosen to share life remains a source of stress. We accept it, they like to adopt it. Now what happens when, over the person you have to cross with our new boyfriend is a child?
Gabriela W. was separated for three long years. Her children were accustomed to this new reality, one might even say that they enjoyed having two houses where they did the impossible to "not suffer the divorce of their parents." So far, a great or at least well-off.
But one day, Gabriela began dating a man, and after five months of being in secret, decided to whitewash the situation with his family. Although he needed time to discuss how to raise it, it was not because her new boyfriend wanted to take that weekend to the beach. Just counted, then, with four days to talk to their kids and her ex, who should be in charge while she was leaving "mini honeymoon".
In desperation, convoked a summit of friends to help her think about how best to raise her new emotional state. Here are some of the advice he received:
- Be sure the relationship you are living is important enough to become public. It is best not to subject the children to the vagaries of love from adults.
- It is your ex finds out for you in your new relationship, and they are not kids who will go with the gossip. It is best to drink coffee and talk alone what he has to talk. Even the way when you're organized.
- At no time your kids have to believe they're asking permission to rebuild your life. You're just sharing the joy of starting over.
- Call to relations with the name that you have. No more "Mommy has a friend." If you're a bride, you have to encourage you to call it that.
- Do not force the relationship of this new person with the rest of your family. The ideal is to be aware of and little neutral ground: the farther from home, the better.
- Be cautious with demonstrations of affection with your new boyfriend. And he is also measured at their shows with your children. Everything has its time.
What other elements must be considered when formalizing a relationship when we have children?

They create computer sodium acetate

Sodium acetate is a compound that is used for many things. In the food industry is used to accentuate the flavor and preservative. In textiles, to neutralize the sulfuric acid and, last but not least, to make those portable hand warmers. Do you know what? Are these gel packs with a metal disk inside that if you twist causes the solidification of the bag and release heat?

Well, there's an application that until now nobody had thought and is building computers. As I read, Andrew Adamatzky of the University of the West of England made a computer based on sodium acetate.

Sony will join the three-dimensional battle next year

3D monitors and televisions and there are several, but the mass application of this technology depends on large firms to join that ordinary consumers can buy one of these systems, and this would be possible from next year, as Sony has announced at IFA 2009 that launched the series BRAVIA televisions dimensional.

But that's not all. Sony plans to launch a series of gadgets compatible with three-dimensional display of images, such as Blu-ray, consoles (Did someone say PS3?) And even notebooks. Thereby create a new family of devices capable of providing more complete user experience and distribution channels that reach the main countries of the world.

Disney bought Marvel!

Become the main news of the day and probably the weeks and months ahead I tell them that The Walt Disney Company has taken control of Marvel, which means that the company achieved growth eared mouse brutal way to a world in which they were unrelated. The purchase, for about 4 billion dollars and reported in the Disney.com site and Marvel.com will allow the Disney Empire (no other way to call it) to completely control the fantastic cartoons company, which means not only be in charge of its publishing arm, but also of its film industry and video game industry, as well as possession of about 5 thousand characters marvelis. Disney respect the agreements previously signed by Marvel and other companies, but sooner or later begin to see some developments regarding the dissemination of company products. Furthermore, the development possibilities are raised to the tenth power considering that Marvel can begin to work with Pixar (another company of the Disney conglomerate) in the development of new film projects.

This is a spectacular and mega purchase actually result in an expansion of Disney's business to areas previously little explored. According to the report, the company of Mickey begin to develop various projects involving those 5 thousand characters acquired in addition to the important dissemination of their television series to be conducted through the cable channel DisneyXD. Moreover Pixar, now Marvel's sister company, you may begin work with the company in developing new projects, which immediately raises the question of visual surprise that we get to see in future and expected new movies superheroes such as X-Men Origins: Magneto, The First Avenger: Captain America and Spider-Man 4. It is said that the same John Lasseter, producer and creative director of Pixar, has already met with executives at Marvel to assess G-employment opportunities and was very happy after their first meetings.

Although Disney has said it will maintain independence in the operation of Marvel, will surely seek to develop new marketing channels that they can achieve important to get a slice of the profits from future films comiquero company, independent of who have previously signed agreements with third companies. Undoubtedly, this is a very important news that will develop and showcase new edges with the passing days.

Video explaining the Big Bang

How did the universe was born?, Is one of the most recurrent questions in humans, and so far remains unknown. However, we have some theories, the main one is the Big Bang.

On this occasion, the professor of astronomy and physics at Columbia University, Janna Levin, explains in very simple way the Big Bang. Without a doubt a must for any geek, either for financial or for entertainment, who like me, we can only describe as a huge explosion.

12 errors that you should not do while dieting

To be a beautiful and attractive women undergo many diets, often without any control and making many mistakes ...

And it is to lose those extra pounds is not a game and there are many people who get sick with some diets they just did not take into account a number of important factors.

We will offer a number of useful tips for your diet to go well. Some errors that should never make when dieting and that will serve you whatever you are following the rules.


1. Do not be tempted by diets that provide misleading results too fast. Cause significant loss of vitamins and also lose weight quickly implies the appearance of stretch marks.

2. Dinner too and no breakfast the next day. Remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it gives you all the nutrients needed to withstand a hard day's work.

3. Saying "no" to certain foods is not positive. The best regimen is a balanced diet. Therefore, it is best to eat anything and not banish any food. That yes, here are excluded sweets, industrial bakery ...

4. To get only summer regime is a grave mistake. Many fattened in winter and make their diet only during the summer to look palmetto and not realizing that each year it is harder to shake off those extra pounds. There is a time when the fat cells of our bodies do not disappear at all, only empty but then refilled with increasing speed.

5. You should weigh yourself every day, just do it once a week. Otherwise, one can become obsessed with the scale ...

6. Do not forget the water! It is advisable to drink two liters of water per day, excluding the water we drink during meals.

7. Not to play any sport is also a mistake. With the diet is not enough to stay in shape. So the best thing is to spend even half an hour a day doing some exercise in a gym or at home. You can also start going to work at home walking or climbing the stairs instead of the elevator.

8. Beware of laxatives and diuretics. Abusing them can lead to not absorb certain nutrients that are necessary for our health.

Did you know that stress has a positive side?

Given the constant changes, the rush, tasks, work, family and active society in which we operate ... this is stressful. It is a belief that such emotional pressure is associated with negative and destructive, affecting health, however, though it seems incrible has its positive side. What is it?

According to a psychotherapist, everything in life has two faces: one good and one bad, so does the emotional pressure, but to squeeze juice from this, we must channel it properly.

The same expert said that some of the benefits obtained from this positive stress is the rapid adaptation to new changes, improved performance and capacity; besides getting physical pleasure through the senses, for what it achieves maintain an ideal lifestyle.

In other words, if there are any changes, stress at this new circumstance, motivates the person to perform his job well, channel energy, and not allow the tension curb its capabilities. That requires having everything under control. In what way?

There are several factors:

"It required more than necessary and not feel perfect, as every human being have weaknesses to certain activities and we must be aware of what we are capable of doing and what is not. Therefore, as indicated is to work with the capabilities they have to get what you want and leave the situation unscathed.

Do not overload yourself with activites because the more
activites you have pending the more stress will grow.

"A good idea is to begin to solve simple problems in which sits the control of the situation, and confidence gained will help to address the coming challenges more easily.

"It is also essential to have good physical health, for example a person who sleeps and sleeps, at least the minimum recommended time, be kept in better mental state.

"Exercise is important because experts say it helps to modulate the stress levels , but be careful, should be moderate because the excess can raise stress.

"You can do a breathing exercises to relax the body and mind, is also good to listen to music, read a book or watching a movie.

Ink extracted from a 155 million years Squid

In some rocks of Wiltshire, England, paleontologists have found a fossil of a squid-like mollusk, some 155 million years old, preserved in such a condition that could be extracted even some ink stored in his inside.

The specimen of Belemnotheutis antiquus has been described as "one of the best preserved fossils of the world." Phil Wilby, coauthor of the discovery, explains that everything is due to the so-called "Medusa effect" which occurs when specimens become stone in question of days, before damage to their soft tissues.

The ink sample is being analyzed at Yale University to obtain a more complete chemical analysis. So far the researchers have already used, mixing it with an ammonia solution, to draw a sketch of prehistoric mollusk.

The girls prefer Geeks

Regardless for the famous series of films of the nerds whom do not usually have much luck when it comes to conquering girls. However, if is of them, at least there is a scientific study that shows just the opposite: at least on paper we are the Nerds Casanovas.

A study at the University of Elon, North Carolina, showed a group of women a series of videos from different subjects performing both athletic and intellectual. The tasks themselves were not so obvious as to discriminate against those who were more consciously smart, but when at the end of the test were asked by the ladies more attractive subjects, showed that instinctively tended to elect more intelligent than before the most athletic. ¿Natural selection? Perhaps, but it must be right that they were not nerds (suspensores, trousers up to the navel and thick glasses), but rather geeks (a bit more produced). Now the only thing we need is to find the women of the study, because I know always choose the head of the muscle.

My personal theory is that, indeed, may end up marrying the nerd with the most beautiful girl in the school, but that happens when you have 30 years and she was dating all muscled fellow.

Bad breath and how to avoid it

If we take a look at PubMed, a database of current scientific papers, we find some interesting articles. Everyone agrees that most of the possible causes of halitosismal encouragement are located in the mouth. Secondly, there are respiratory infections and Otorhinolaryngologic. And lastly, there are processes (diabetes, for example), liver or kidneys (the hand to lift the medical student who is not sick of hearing the blessed frasecita "fetor uremic). We must also bear in mind that certain medications can dry the mouth or change the bacterial flora of the mouth, halitosis encouraging.

Let us not delude ourselves: many halitosis is easily solved with proper oral hygiene. A good brushing after every meal that includes all the teeth (not just luster to get the front to have a bright smile) for the required time and a mild mouthwash to help remove enough food which when processed by the bacterial flora mouth compuesos emit volatile sulfur compounds that give the smell. I repeat that the mouthwash should be smooth and you can not abuse it, because most often as they contain alcohol and dry mouth.

It also helps keep a balanced diet with enough fruits and vegetables, drinking water in quantities sufficient to prevent the saliva espesamimal alientoento and can not fulfill their duties. Following this, remember that all who follow the Atkins diet or an unbalanced diet that will take a breath pull back (the explanation is that the ketone bodies that are formed as a result of the use of fat for energy compounds are very volatile and with a very characteristic odor). Of course when I talk about fruit and vegetables do not include onions and garlic, "Whoever eats garlic talk down", nor should we forget some other foods like cheese and coffee are adhering to teeth and mucosa mouth, being an excellent raw material for bacteria to get spiked "putrificar" and the blessed release volatile sulfur compounds.

What about the "social services"? Because the alcohol dries the mucous membranes and alters the bacterial flora and odorous substances such as snuff contains nicotine which are impregnated in the mouth. Nothing can be arranged with a good toothbrush.

If you still keep a good hygiene and proper diet the problem persists, it's time to go to the dentist to rule out problems in the mouth, as a periodontitis. What if the dentist out any pathology? The appropriate approach is to go to the doctor to determine the cause and remove the most frequent pathologies according to the signs and symptoms of the disease besides the bad smell of breath. Again, we can go to much trouble for this consultation, but many times the bad breath is an excellent sign that guides us on various diseases, not in vain, we spent a career studying such things as "the smell of green apples diabetic ketoacidosis" "fetor liver, fetor uremic", recognizing the smell of a lung abscess in practices and a long etcetera.

The high-tech sneakers of Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt is one of the highest performing athletes in the world, is the fastest man on the planet. Period.

For the twelfth edition of the IAAF athletics championships, the German brand PUMA has developed a shoe called Yaam with the latest technology and custom foot Bolt. Have a weight of only 149 grams, the base is constructed of carbon fiber, resulting in lightweight and flexibility of the shoe that Bolt is equal to greater momentum and traction with each step.

The decor is not random, since it is based on the art of Jeff Koons, and orange colors were intended to contrast with the blue track of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin on Sunday where Bolt broke the 100m world record levels.

The price? Very expensive, but Puma will sell to the rest of us a shoe that is call Yaam Street.

The U.S. Navy wants jets deployed with sea water

Military inventions are not exactly something that excited us. However, it is undeniable that one of the major pathways of technological development is guided under the purview of the arms industry. Making many advances in technology and military materials of interest as the last experiment of the Navy of the United States, which aims to use sea water as fuel for its jets.

In fact what it purports Heather Willauer, who is leading the project is to generate a hydrocarbon fuel based on removing carbon dioxide from sea water and combined with hydrogen. So far they have managed to create unsaturated hydrocarbon chains due to a system based on the Fischer-Tropsch process.

What is striking about this development is that, besides having the potential to revolutionize logistics systems associated with the jet fighter, its application in civil aviation would reduce operating costs and benefits to all users. However, there is rejoicing as soon as it is only a project and reach out to civil purposes is not assured.

Please don't text while driving

As part of a police campaign in Wales in the United Kingdom, this video hopes to raise awareness that they can not disengage from the phone or when driving.

If you find little or no importance to use these phones while driving for example sending text messages, after seeing this video I think maybe be a little more careful.

Like this look? It is recognized that in some photos it looks very bad, but others see it fairly well. Are you crazy?

Users sue Facebook

A group of site users Facebook filed a suit in California courts, accusing the company of abusing the personal information you enter into this social network.

According to the Facebook group of five plaintiffs intended to gather the greatest amount of personal data of users, it would be violating federal laws that restrict the access of others to personal communications of each user.

The lawsuit states that social networks increase the information shared by users (personal data, photos, videos, reviews, etc.) with different companies in order to hire these services to place their advertising.

It is strange to understand how these users then register with the site (by accepting the contract in question) and use this to "socialize", then want to be compensated for their privacy has been breached. Under this argument any site for sharing information of its users would be violating the law.

We'll see how it goes with these five guys with their application, in one of those hit the stick at the cat getting a good compensation.

Text messaging becomes more imprecise for children and youth

"Faster, but less precise, it is revealed that a study on children and young people who use long text messages from cell phones.

According to a publication on the website of the BBC, the observation was made by Australian researchers to 317 youths between 11 and 14 years. The analysis was based on damage to health caused by the use of the cell.

Bioelectromagnetics published the scientific journal that radiation emitted by cell phones to send a text message, or SMS, is 0.03%, and those who come to deliver the calls is greater. As the messages are more secure.

"We do not believe that cell phones fry your brain," he pointed to the magazine Science ABC epidemiologist Michael Abramson, who led the study.

On the other hand, at Monash University in Australia pointed out another problem. Conducted a study that asked children to answer a few questions.

All children using the telephone, especially predictive messages (is the system that automatically complete words), the questionnaires completed faster, but obtained a greater number of wrong answers.

It was in this study when Dr. Adamson was right in saying that the messages could "cause children to be faster but also more vague." If you're used to typing a few letters and the word is completed alone, you tend to expect everything to work, "he quoted.

In short, the "predictive text" may "think" quickly, but without precision.

And How do you write your text messages? You think you have this problem, why?

Ultra Radical: The transport system at Heathrow Airport

The idea of traveling in small vehicles or automatic podcars is not new, and we have seen the project in United Arab Emirates. However, it is interesting that the Heathrow airport in London with one of these systems.

The construction, implementation and system design Ultra PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) has not been completed and now two of his cars are on display at the Science Museum of London, as part of its centenary celebrations and so prior to its implementation.

The idea is that these little boxes that have the capacity to about 4 or 5 passengers and travel about 40 km / h, are the basic means of transportation in the airport terminal 5 creased initially and then from the parking lots around the airport, which also serve as an experiment to see its feasibility to be extended to certain areas of the city.

Why you should stop using mercury thermometers?

The reason is that the instruments for measuring temperature, it can become a deadly weapon. Why? Why this metal is more harmful to health than we imagined just a quantity that contains a thermometer! Enough to contaminate fish in a lake eight hectares!

Mercury is used in dental implants, fluorescent bulbs and batteries, as well as fish and canned tuna.

However, when you break a glass thermometer and the mercury is not cleaned properly, it spreads through the house as they walked, Sweep or vacuum, forming a latent threat to health.

What effect does the body? In the case of pregnant women, presents a greater danger, since it affects the brain development of the fetus, up to ten times more vulnerable than an adult, causing problems for learning, but also damages the spinal cord, kidneys and liver .

Mercury affects the sense of sight, the ability to feel and move. It is important to get blood tests if it believes it is an excess of this metal, because according to the WHO to die between 50,000 and 70,000 people for this cause.

We'll be 7 billion humans by 2011

It is estimated according to the latest study by the Population Reference Bureau that we globally within two years seven billion inhabitants. But the curious thing about this is that growth will be in greater proportion in poor countries and developing countries.

In the most recent study released by the agencies reveals that over the next 40 years is projected to increase in the population, 97% of which is estimated to be produced in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. Population Reference Bureau, a body created in 1929 to make projections.

It is said that the increase from six to seven billion will take a dozen years, as happened with the passage of five thousand to six billion, which occurred in 1999. Both events are unprecedented in history.

United States and Canada are nations that are experiencing a larger increase in the population, both by immigration and by the natural population growth since birth and is now outnumber deaths.

Carl Haub coauthor of the report states that "About 90% of the 2.3 billion young people in the world are in developing countries, as well as eight out of ten of these young people live in Africa and Asia.

The report attributes the high birth rate and the large number of young people the greatest population growth in developing countries, especially in Africa where women have six or seven children throughout their fertile life.

The data:
According to the study population, it is expected that by 2050 Uganda, spent 34 million to 96 million, nearly triple the current population.

Also by 2050 India will reach 1.7 billion people, overtaking China, with 1.4 billion and become the most populous nation.

And in United States, with 439 million, ranks third in population density worldwide.

Jupiter is closer to Earth

Hello friends, today we leave the orbit of global warming, because we are just a few hours closer to the planet Jupiter in the last 10 years, so it may be seen as one of the brightest objects of the sky. The giant is only 602.6 million kilometers, the shortest distance since 1999.

The orbit of the huge celestial body, composed mainly of gas that transits do so close to our planet can be seen with the naked eye at night as the brightest star.
Far from what any prophet of disaster would dare to predict, very typical in the preamble of astronomical phenomena, the closeness between Jupiter and Earth is no danger of collision or alteration of the rotation of either body, much less will be capable of generating any physical or mental imbalances in any living being.
In fact it is not the first time that opposition Jupiter ago (and is also called the phenomenon of proximity) to the Earth, the most recent was in early July 2008.

According to astronomical calculations made to date, you can see Jupiter in the twilight on Friday, just to the east when the sun is hidden. As the skies get darker, and the more clear is the enormous planet will appear as the brightest star of the night.

Although the star is within reach of the simple view, who has a telescope, however small, will have the opportunity to witness the best details of colossal planet. Apart from the four Galilean moons of the planet, eye specialist and basic knowledge of astronomy can distinguish details of its atmosphere.

Because of its huge size, Jupiter is often easy target asteroid. In late July, an amateur astronomer with a specialized telescope detected the south pole of the celestial body a huge stain.

Why do men get fat and have cravings when they about to become parents?

According to a study conducted in the United Kingdom, the parents tend to increase more than six kilos during the pregnancy of his wife. They also suffer mood swings, stress and other disorders

The woman grow fat because they have a creature inside. They, of solidarity towards their partners. Either way, the truth is that when pregnant women are not the only ones to gain weight. A survey of the United Kingdom has just revealed that the parents tend to gain about 6.35 pounds on average during pregnancy, published the newspaper El Mundo.

The poll, conducted by the company Onepoll to 5 thousand British parents found that 25% of men stated they eat more during this period that his wife will not feel bad with his weight gain. The problem is that this increased caloric intake comes mainly from unhealthy products.

Pizza, beer, fried snacks and chocolate cravings are most common in the future parents, which also indicated that their female partners were more plentiful prepared foods during pregnancy.

Another reason why the men are also growing because the belly is often in those nine months go to dinner with their partners outside the home than ever before. 42% of respondents acknowledged that went to restaurants to take more time before the baby was born, and life changed.

The study showed that 20% of men are not aware of this weight increase until the clothing no longer serve you and have to renew the wardrobe with clothes "paternity" to its new shape.

Although partly blame the women for their weight gain, the fact is that after doing nothing for them to lose the excess kilos. According to the survey, only one third of parents put on a diet after the birth of the baby, which makes it virtually all mothers.

In addition to fat, various studies showed that pregnancy also affects men, who experience mood swings, stress and other disorders.

Why heron sleeps on one foot?

As eminently aquatic animal that feeds on fish, mollusks and amphibians, the heron whose legs are long, thin and implumes, ordinarily lives in swamps and small rivers depth.
heron-a-paw-sleep

Reach up to between 70 and 85 cm. tall, white plumage and beak are yellow.

Even sleep there, and I always do on one leg, because, apparently, while the rest are balanced better heat exchange between your body and the liquid medium.

It is usually a solitary bird, but meets in the community in breeding season, when nest in tall trees and get to bring up to 6 eggs. It is impressive to admire this beautiful bird.

A New Planet was found whose orbit is in the opposite direction of its star

A few months ago, it was discover an asteroid orbiting the Sun in the opposite direction, but it seems strange that this behavior also occurs in other large celestial bodies.

Draft Search Wide Area Planets (WASP) the United Kingdom, together with the Observatory of Geneva discovered a planet whose orbit also runs counter to the rotation of the star.

The planet called WASP-17 and its star located 1,000 light years away and, according to Sara Seager (MIT astrophysicist), one of the planets would be more strange that they are aware.

To create a star needs a cloud of gas and dust collapse. Her movement is intensifying to the extent that is condensed, which in turn determines the direction you turn.

Planets develop from the remains, usually mass of gas and dust disc-shaped revolving around the star formed, so the direction that moves the material (which is the same as rotates the star), becomes the direction of the orbit of the planet.

Scientists think that in the case of WASP-17 there was probably some kind of close encounter with a larger planet, causing the gravitational interaction between the two to launch a minor planet orbiting the contrary to its star.
