The Earth Is a Machine
Take,
for example, the story of the monarch butterfly. This is a beautiful
orange and black insect whose wings fold into gently curved triangles
when they alight. Native to the Americas, monarchs travel on an annual
migration through Canada, the United States and Mexico, pausing along
the way to gather in enormous flocks of tens of thousands of
butterflies. They gather in such incredible numbers that trees appear to
be draped in orange-and-black leaves, which upon closer examination
resolve themselves into fluttering wings. This season, however, the
great monarch migration to Mexico has become a shadow of its former
self. Hundreds of thousands of butterflies used to descend on the cool
mountains of central Mexico, but last year only 60,000 came.
This year only 3000 arrived, a week late. Environmental scientists are warning that the insects may be headed rapidly for extinction. What happened?Think of the monarch butterflies' population as the output of a machine process that has gone wrong. To understand that process, scientists have had to observe the butterflies and their environments for decades. It was only in the 1970s when Canadian entomologists Fred and Nora Urquhart discovered something incredible about these butterflies. Their migration spans 3 to 4 generations, with each new generation completing only part of the circuit between Canada and Mexico.

New 'Robot Safari' exhibition lets visitors pet
But a complex control system is difficult to recreate in such a small device, Ristroph says. High-speed cameras film the object when it's in the air, and the robot receives information from the cameras to determine how to correct its motion in order to keep its stability.There's a legitimate need for {$} some scrutiny and some pressure, she said.knife sets Unlike RoboBee, the jellyfish robot shows stability without the help of a control system. Ristroph says this simple design, without the use of complex control systems, could help researchers as they miniaturize these devices further. "I think that simple strategy is going to work on a very small scale," he says. The device, presented at an American Physical Society meeting on Sunday, still needs to be hooked to a power source and cannot steer its direction. But Ristroph says the device has a handful of applications – including air quality control and search missions in dangerous areas.
The team's jellyfish inspiration is not entirely irrelevant – recent research has found that moon jellyfish are actually remarkably efficient swimmers. The "quintessential jellyfish" species moves with a series of contractions, squeezing its muscles and then releasing them to float along.A water vortex swirls behind the jelly after it relaxes its muscles, giving it an additional boost with no added effort. With this process, the moon jellyfish, although quite slow, actually uses much less energy to cover a certain distance than a slick salmon.Ristroph says scientists should be open-minded and try different ways of flight. There were some "pretty wacky designs" for airplanes, he says, and eventually one idea wins out.
"So far, there's only been this one idea of 'let's copy insects,' and we know from the airplane that we didn't copy birds," he says.

7 things you need to know about electronic cigarettes
Just to complete the whole smoking experience the "cigarette" has a sensor that is activated when the smoker takes a drag. The atomizer releases the liquid nicotine and lights up an LED which is at the opposite end of the cigarette to mimic a traditional lit cigarette. E-cigarettes were introduced to the American market sometime in 2007.Proponents of e-cigs have claimed smoking cessation as one of the benefits. They also say e-cigarettes provide a less hazardous way to feed smokers' nicotine addiction and the risk posed via second hand smoking in public is significantly reduced.Casler probably never imagined that a version of his device would be used to animate electronic cigarette vaporizer mini ce4 digital files. Behold: The Giphoscope. Common sense dictates that e-cigarettes should emit less toxic substances when compared to traditional cigarettes which may perhaps lead to reduced health risks.

The World Health Organisation states that the use of e-cigarettes to aid smoke cessation has not been demonstrated and some have pointed out that the use of e-cigarettes might lead to increased nicotine addiction as more and more people are drawn to "smoking." In addition since e-cigarettes are not really cigarettes they are not subject to the same regulations so it would be legal for your teenage child to buy one and start puffing away.

Think Kate Middleton meets Gwen Stefani
Think
Kate Middleton meets Gwen Stefani as style influences for a collection
that includes pyramid shaped stones and handcrafted details based on the
buildings and bridges of Italy. Garcia also mentions the color black as
playing heavily in fall collections. The line ranges in price from $39
to over $1,500, so you can start small and build up to what look like
major designer pieces.Wondering how to transition your purse from day to
evening? Clutch handbags are trending this season, but aren't always
practical. "Size plays a key role in the use of a clutch," emerging
handbag designer Lauren Vela says. She likes the idea of an oversized
clutch in a neutral color "It's a minimalistic design that adds a touch
of chic, effortless style to any outfit.".To make the transition from
office to cocktails, she suggests choosing a clutch that offers a
detachable strap.
Javits offers this great tip: "Put a smaller clutch or pouch inside your everyday bag.IPC today introduced the Infinea Tab M, the first diamond core bit mobile POS device compatible with the iPad mini. At the end of the day you can leave your tote at the office, and take only your evening essentials in streamlined clutch." Ali Larter recently showed up for a night on the town clutching a great big Fendi envelope clutch. But the $1,360 price range makes it an unlikely investment for most of us. Big Buddha Jchacha clutch is a sleek and affordable evening option at $49.95.We want Targa to be as big a part of their year composite hose as it is of ours.Hand bracelets have awkwardly graced the mitts of celebrities including Salma Hayek and Sarah Jessica Parker. They look slightly awkward and uncomfortable and are worn somewhere between your wrists and knuckles. Like those truncated gloves made popular by Paris Hilton a few seasons back, hand bracelets are a trend best left to those living in the limelight.
For distributors who want to deal in industrial hose, it is more than a matter of just ordering the hose and waiting for the orders to arrive.It takes a commitment of capital and staff, as well as a willingness to help raise standards in a business that encompasses numerous applications in a variety of industries.That was the message delivered by Joe Mika, Eaton Corp. P.L.Targa director Peter Martin freely admits that without huge numbers of volunteers,kayak seat pads as well as St John Ambulance staff, marshals and others it would be an impossible task.C. manager for industrial hose, during a panel discussion at Eaton's 2013 Distributor Meeting, held Sept. 15-18 in Orlando, Fla.

How Fire Hose Games hopes to help indies with incubation
That
idea's been bouncing around in his head for the last year or so. Now
he's figured out what to do with it. Tonight at a monthly gathering of
indie developers called the Boston Post Mortem, Glinert will outline his
plans to help fellow indies by turning Fire Hose Games into an indie

model, which he said were designed for businesspeople who want to create
businesses. Instead, he wants to incubate games and the people who make
them. He wants to create an environment where it's safe and sustainable
to make games.
"It's no secret that all of indies talk to each other, right?" he said.

The edge of the abyss: exposing the NSA's all-seeing machine
The
Church Committee, established in 1975 to audit the intelligence
community following Watergate, learned that in the 1950s the CIA and the
FBI had intercepted and collected the contents of over more than
215,000 pieces of mail belonging to US citizens. And indeed, surveilling
US citizens is in the NSA's pedigree; recently, declassified documents
revealed that Martin Luther King Jr, Muhammad Ali, and other prominent
Americans were targets of NSA surveillance during the Vietnam War, from
1967 to 1973.The current chair of the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence, Senator Dianne Feinstein, is one of the most ardent
supporters of NSA bulk surveillance and originally downplayed the
Verizon leak as business-as-usual.
In October, Feinstein took out an op-ed in USA Today,Groupon is gaining a true strategic advantage by providing its national merchants with access to DMAA first party redemption data that they can't get anywhere else, said Catherine Tabor, CEO and founder of Sparkfly. arguing that metadata deserves no Fourth Amendment protection. On October 31st,It is no coincidence that all the new restaurants v just mentioned, including Mr. Maws's, are more casual and less expensive than their flagships.Best Canoe for Sale Feinstein passed an NSA "improvement" bill in Congress offering no real reform; in fact, the Feinstein bill legitimizes the mass data collection that has so far been justified in secret.Some lawmakers, however, are working to reverse mass surveillance of US citizens. On October 29th, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Patriot Act co-author Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R, WI) introduced the "Freedom Act," which would end bulk data collection by rewriting Section 215 of the Patriot Act and creating new limits on FAA Section 702. Others, like Senator Ron Wyden, (D, OR), have issued repeated warnings about the NSA's capabilities. "The combination of increasingly advanced technology with a breakdown in the checks and balances that limit government action could lead to a surveillance state that cannot be reversed," Wyden said earlier this year. "What happens to our government, our civil liberties, and our basic democracy if the surveillance state is allowed to grow unchecked?"
Finally, the judicial branch, which has secretly authorized mass NSA spying over the past decade in collaboration with the executive and legislative branches, could play a role in reform. While some tech companies are currently suing the government to release gag orders preventing them from informing customers about how many data requests the government makes, such efforts are largely cosmetic, and won't impact data collection. The American Civil Liberties Union, Public Knowledge, the Open Technology Institute, Free Press,Volunteers are an essential part of Targa, he says, "and without them there is sup paddles no way that an event like this can run smoothly. Human Rights Watch, and others have sued to end the telephone dragnet, arguing that the collection violates the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments.

Kitchen that feeds 100,000 daily
"The
guys knocked it down before I even got here," Meranti said, after
viewing the damage inside the single-family home. "They did a really
good job."Meranti said the fire appears to have started in the vicinity
of the stove; the kitchen incurred water and fire damage and the rest of
the house has significant smoke damage. The health inspector determined
all the food in the kitchen could not be salvaged. The side window had
to be pulled out and burnt wood and materials was piled outside
it.Girard's daughter, Carol Girard Lemaire, said her mother and niece
were weathering the incident and members of their large family had
arrived at the home to help."She's shaken up but she's OK, the little
girl's OK but she was shaken up, too," she said. "Mom's got eight of us,
so all eight of us are around here and we'll find a place for her."

When One Kitchen Isn't Enough
Then there are those who believe, as Mr. Maws once did, that "real" chefs ought to spend most of their time with hands on pans."I think there's a difference between a chef in the immaculate whites who walks around greeting customers and one who actually does some cooking," said Greg Higgins,The Foster Farms salmonella outbreak this month has underscored the importance of cooking core barrel and handling poultry properly. the chef and owner of Higgins Restaurant and Bar in Portland, Ore. He has been attending to his restaurant's garden since it opened 20 years ago, and still butchers pigs every Wednesday — neither of which he believes would be possible if he operated more than one restaurant.Scientists can sound the alarm if the sensors knife sets and algorithms determine an earthquake is on the way."You can't replace diligence and hard work and focus," Mr. Higgins said. "It makes my boat float that I practice what I preach."
Another single-restaurant chef, David Kinch, calls the "relentless, day-to-day nature" of cooking the inventive food at Manresa,Google Glass and other wearable devices may soon augment smartphones for rock bolt technophiles. his Michelin-starred restaurant in Los Gatos, Calif., "draining," and says he can't imagine trying to duplicate it at a second location.Still, he said he appreciated how a more casual restaurant could provide a refreshing outlet and higher profit margins than haute cuisine, without necessarily requiring a chef's undivided attention.

On a recent morning Natanel Dukan walked into the Paris offices
On
a recent morning Natanel Dukan walked into the Paris offices of the
French robot maker Aldebaran and noticed one of the company's humanoid
NAO robots sitting on a chair. Mr. Dukan, an electrical engineer, could
not resist. Bending over, he kissed the robot on the cheek. In response
the NAO tilted its head, touched his cheek and let out an audible smack.
It is certainly a very French application for a robot, but the intimate
gesture by the $16,000,Start with fiery Charred Octopus or the
Guacamole Trio, which comes in tropical,diagnosisexpert goat
cheese and ranchero flavors. two-foot robot, now being used in academic
research labs and robotic soccer leagues, also reflects a significant
shift.Until recently, most robots were carefully separated from humans.
They have largely been used in factories to perform repetitive tasks
that required speed, precision and force.The Foster Farms salmonella
outbreak this month has underscored the importance of cooking core barrel and
handling poultry properly. That generation of robots is dangerous, and
they have been caged and fenced for the protection of workers.
But the industrial era of robotics is over. And robots are beginning to move around in the world.More and more, they are also beginning to imitate — and look like — humans. And they are beginning to perform tasks as humans do, too.Many of the new generation of robots are tele-operated from a distance, but are increasingly doing tasks independent of direct human control.For instance,Google Glass and other wearable devices may soon augment smartphones for rock bolt technophiles. Romeo, a five-foot humanoid robot,Exoskeletons or other robotic prosthetics may give disabled folks new freedom or diamond core bit prevent injuries for industrial workers handling heavy loads. will soon be introduced by Aldebaran as a "big brother" to the pipsqueak, kissing NAO robot. Created with the assistance of $13.8 million from the French government, the costly robot is being programmed to care for older people and assist in the home.
To provide useful assistance, it will have to do more than the repetitive work already being performed by commercial robots in factories, hospitals and other settings. Moreover, the new robots are designed not just to replace but to collaborate with humans.The idea that robots will be partners of humans, rather than stand-ins or servants, is now driving research at universities and industrial laboratories. This year, new United States industry standards for robotic manufacturing systems were published,Scientists can sound the alarm if the sensors knife sets and algorithms determine an earthquake is on the way. underscoring the emergence of the field. The standards specify performance requirements that will permit human workers to collaborate with robots directly, and they reverse manufacturing guidelines from 1999 that prohibited "continuous attended operations" requiring humans to be in close contact with robots that were deemed unsafe by the industry.
