As Science Brothers, we always have the desire to learn more and discover new avenues or discoveries in science and technology. So, what better than a good TED talk. This post is simple, we offer 5 TED talk that inspires the Science Bros. to do research and innovate with our inventions.
A prosthesis for soldiers
The first is presented by Dean Kamen, a great inventor in the United States. He explains his story about a prosthetic he is developing for the Department of Defense. People have asked him to invest in this project to return members to war victims. He was reluctant at first, but at the end of the video, it shows the result that is very impressive for the year 2007! This is a very inspiring video, in my opinion, for anyone interested in bionics.
A prosthesis that can feel the touch
The second TED Talk is titled A prosthetic arm that feels by Todd Kuiken. An engineer who specializes in the connection of robotic prosthesis on his patients in collaboration with doctors. He explains what technology is available and that before, he was trying to connect the members directly on the nerves and it was a difficult process. That is why they have developed another approach by directly modifying the muscle of the patients so that the prosthesis integrates and connects better to the body of the person. In addition, he talks about a prosthesis that can now add a feeling of touch to patients, as if they found the sensation of their lost limb. Then he makes a demonstration with one of his patients.
When the AI will control the human!
The third is presented by Nick Bostrom and the title is What happens when we get smarter than we are? In his presentation, he presents what will happen if artificial intelligence take control of the human. In addition, he describes what should be done to ensure that AI does not take control, but he wonders if it is really possible to impose restrictions on them. The AI research (artificial intelligence) will certainly shake up and change the world we know. In his Ted Talk, he makes a very good comparison with the human who has gone beyond the primate in evolution. This could be the case for humans if we do not take the necessary precautions to improve the human before AI. In short, a good video to watch, unless all of this make you worry more than anything else!
More bionic prostheses!
The last two TED talk we offer are those with one person who influences us the most in our organization, named Hugh Herr. When he was young, he was doing a lot of climbing and one day, he fell down a cliff and lose half of his legs with an amputation near the knees. All this is explained in the Ted talks and other Youtube videos, so I will not dwell on all the details, but in short, he decided not to back down about his fate and go to study robotics and bioni The last two TED talks we offer are those with one person who influences us the most in our organization, named Hugh Herr. When he was young, he was doing a lot of climbing and one day, he fell down a cliff and lose half of his legs with an amputation near the knees. All this is explained in the Ted talks and other YouTube videos, so I will not dwell on all the details, but in short, he decided not to back down about his fate and go to study robotics and bionics, and eventually become a professor at MIT. He and his research team have developed bionic applications for people who have lost their limbs and the technology is simply fascinating. Probably my two top Ted talk all over the site! In his first, titled The new bionics that let us run, climb and dance, he describes his life and his prosthesis and makes a demonstration with a former dancer who lost her leg. Regarding the second video, How We Will Become Cyborgs and Extend Human Potential, he explains how the human will probably become a cyborg that can be modified as it sees fit, have a stronger body, faster and with good other possibilities. In addition, he explains the details of "NeuroEmbodied Design," developed by him and his team in order to directly connect the robotic prostheses to turn the human into a cyborg.
In short, these videos are all available on the site of Ted.com and if you want to hear me talk about all this, episode 3 of the podcast Scientifiquement Parlant explains it all. On Ted's site, videos are also transcribed in writing for people who prefer to read the whole thing. I hope those conferences will inspire you as much as they inspire us for our projects. I remind you that the primary purpose of Science Bros. is to develop this kind of bionic prosthetic application in order to improve the human condition and these videos helps us to move forward! Thank you to all of those who support us. If you want to help us with our projects, there is always our Patreon, patreon.com/sciencebrosca or simply subscribe to our YouTube channel and on social media will help us greatly! Thanks again and have a good time watching the videos!

Punk Rock au Maroc
What a country – sun, sea, and sand, and all of us burning to get out …
Norah, get into it … punk rock, OK? Don't let it drag. Are you ready? Sarah, Bonnie, Basma? Let's go: un, deux, et trois!
Sultry, twenty-something Malika trawls the grimy side streets of Tangier in skinny jeans and sticky, frayed Converse faintly reeking of stale lager, eyeing from beneath the shadow cast by a flurry of jet black bangs the dead-end world before her … Think Siouxsie Sioux and Johnny Thunders, guitars in tow, meet Hindi Zahra in the burned-out basement of a seedy Moroccan haunt; our girl is one part woman, two parts rebel, and five parts pure, unfiltered rock and roll, working at a French call centre by day and kicking out the jams by night, stuck between Maroc and a hard place. What a country – sun, sea, and sand, and all of us burning to get out, she lets rip into a hot microphone clutched by a set of sweaty fingers and dirty nails, as the band drives forth to a lugging, primordial rhythm and the studs of her white faux-leather biker jacket gleam beneath a sole bulb dangling from the ceiling. IIIIIIII'm so boooooored with Mo-ro-cco – but what can I dooooo!?
With little going for Malika, who lives at home with her kid sister, her mother, and her all-but absent father, rock and roll is not just music, but a solace, a refuge, a hope, and – perhaps above all – an escape. Working at a call centre where she's the subject of casual racism is anything but ideal, and even less so, having to work as a jack-of-all trades mechanic in the garage of a father who wants more than anything to get her off his greasy hands; but, as he laments, 'who wants to marry a girl who wears jeans, with dirty fingernails?' Not even a butcher. Hard-headed, strong-willed, and defiant, she fancies none of the above, though her dream of making it big with her ragtag troupe, Traitors (sans 'the') seems to be sinking far beyond the glowing Maghrebi horizon with each passing day.
This atmosphere of hopelessness soon dissipates when a record executive from faraway London expresses an interest in Malika's band, although her proposition turns out to be less favourable than it initially appeared. The catch? In order to have their record produced, the gang has to scrape together enough dirhams to rent a studio for as long as it takes to record a demo. Barely managing to survive, and without even a stint at the call centre, finding the dough isn't going to be easy; but then again, nothing in Malika's life ever has been, and if she's not going to escape from a world of corrupt politicians, nouveau-riche boys – 'just a bunch of fucking hoods', as she calls them – in sports cars, and an endless labyrinth of dead-end streets, she's going to die trying. Queue boot-strapping, guitar-slinging, politically-charged diatribes, and the setting of all amplifiers to 11; Maroc and roll, baby.
Going through the barrage of films due to be screened at last year's Dubai International Film Festival, Traitors – with a bold, scribbled star beside it – was on the top of my 'to see' list. Directed and co-produced by American filmmaker Sean Gullette (in association with Karim Debbagh and Audrey Rosenberg), and financed by Hoor Al Qasimi's Sharjah Art Foundation, it represents a divine union of Eastern moods and sensibilities with punk rock vibes and aesthetics; or, in other words, more or less the sort of marriage I envisioned when I first founded this publication a couple years back, and which has constituted the basis of much of my writing. With a fast-paced storyline, a Moroccan setting, a cast of alluring and unpredictable characters that could have come straight from the frames of a comic book, and a throbbing, original soundtrack, Traitors is a veritable feast for the senses – a fact which Gullette is not shy to make note of. 'To state the obvious … please watch [it] in the dark, on a big screen, without interruption, and with the sound quite loud!' he told me, prior to viewing the film; and, following the instructions on the tin, I cracked open a bottle of bubbly brew (sadly there were no Casablancas on hand), turned the lights down low, tuned the dials on my stereo towards normally-unexplored territory, and slipped beneath the floral Persian patterns of my bedspread to make for the shores of Morocco.
Think Siouxsie Sioux and Johnny Thunders, guitars in tow, meet Hindi Zahra in the burned-out basement of a seedy Moroccan haunt; our girl is one part woman, two parts rebel, and five parts pure, unfiltered rock and roll
On the outset, Gullette's film appears to be one centred around the power and allure of rock music, particularly in a North African context; however, as it progresses, it also comes to provide a powerful social commentary on the current generation of Morocco's youth and their hopes, aspirations, frustrations, dilemmas, and anxieties, evoking at times a mood similar to that prevalent in earlier films such as Fatih Akin's Head On, Bahman Ghobadi's No One Knows About Persian Cats, and more recently – sans rock and roll, albeit – Hicham Lasri's They are the Dogs, also set in Morocco. Cop stops you at a roadblock, takes all your papers away, belts Malika in the film's frenetic opener; give him licence [and] registration – want 'em back? Now you gotta pay. Here, there's no room for censorship, subtlety, or modesty; the harangue goes on, sparing nothing and no one: son of a general speeding drunk in his Porsche Cayenne / hit a farmer on the highway – push the speed, two hundred and ten!
As bleak as the picture of Moroccan society painted by Traitors may be, though, the film is not without its powerful messages of hope, compassion, and optimism. A drug kingpin pines for his departed sweetheart, the human side of prostitution is brilliantly portrayed in a cinematic twist, and a coke-snorting hashish dealer is shown not as a mere tool or a failure of society, but rather as a human being with emotions, feelings, and aspirations, confined by her circumstances; and, despite her trying situation and the limits to which she is pushed, Malika never once loses sight of her dreams and ideals, and even risks everything at one point to help a friend in straits even more dire than hers. Traitors is also laudable in its celebration of the defiance of norms, traditions, and values, as well as externally imposed conditions in the pursuit of freedom and happiness; whether one's salvation lies in rock and roll, fleeing to faraway lands, or elsewhere is besides the point. 'My mother always said, "if you are a nail, endure the knocking"', says a friend to Malika in a moment of crisis. 'That's only half of the proverb', comes the reply; 'the other half says: if you are a hammer, strike' …

How can I make my hospital room more comfortable?
Hospitals can feel like unfriendly places with bright lights, noise and medical equipment. But, however clinical the room, there are things you can do to create more relaxing and comfortable surroundings.
The ideal environment to give birth in is warm, safe, private, quiet and dark. A little planning ahead can help you create your own little nest, even in a hospital room.
If possible, take a tour of the hospital to find out what the rooms look like. This will give you some idea of what you might want to take to hospital with you. If your hospital doesn't offer tours, then see if there's a virtual tour online.
Failing that, ask your caregiver what your hospital provides. You will also need to check with her about what you're allowed to bring with you. Some hospitals provide birth balls, mats and wall bars, to help you lean or squat during labour. Most will let you bring in your own pillows, birth ball or a bean bag.
Even if the hospital does provide certain items, you might be happier using your own. Infection control measures often mean that everything in the room must be wipeable, so pillows, for example, can be rather clinical. You might prefer to bring pillows from home.
Once you get to hospital there are some adjustments you can make to the room. Have your birth partner push the bed to one side if possible. This gives you more room to move around, and you're less likely to lie on the bed. Staying mobile will help progress your labour.
If there is a dimmer switch, use it to keep the lighting low. If not, there is often a task lamp in the room. Turn this to face the wall, and turn off the overhead lighting. It will create a softer, warmer glow.
Take some magazines, books or games as well. Early on in your labour you may want the distraction.
Playing some of your favourite music can help to relax and soothe you too. You probably won't be able to bring in any electrical equipment that is mains powered, unless it's been checked by the hospital's electrician. Some hospitals have CD players in birth rooms, so you can take in your own CDs. Or you could take your own MP3 player.
In early labour it's best to stay at home as long as possible, unless advised otherwise by your doctor or midwife. First-time labours can be slow, and even a little boring at times. Early labour could even last days, and you will feel more comfortable at home.


British national Hannah Bayliss, husband Tim and dog live next to the Valkenburg airbase near Katwijk where they distill gin, enjoy beach life and have gotten to grips with the weather.
We ended up here in 2015 after Tim sent me a picture of the beach at Noordwijk. We both wanted to live in another country and were debating between New Zealand or the Netherlands. Tim had a temporary job in the Netherlands and I was in New Zealand when he sent me the photo. It was an early morning shot, the beach was deserted and all I could see as far as the eye would go was flat golden sands and blue sky! I just thought, this is an amazing place. Why would we move half way around the world when we could live here? Tim now works for KPMG and we have set up a craft gin business on the side.
I think we would describe ourselves as EU citizens. We are both proud to be British, but at the same time, I love where I live now and can not see myself living anywhere else. We have fallen in love with the Netherlands, the country, the people, the weather and most importantly, the opportunities that are here.
We have renovated our house here, our dog has a dutch passport, we aren't leaving!
Not really… I try and it gets mistaken for German. It's something we are working on, but we are not natural language learners… it will take time!
Tomatoes! Actually we love the quality of food that is grown here. The fish is amazing and so fresh, the bread is gorgeous, coffee is great…. The only thing we can not get to grips with is bitterballen… it is something about the texture.
I think that we must always have had Dutch tendencies. We have become a bit more direct in the way we approach people, but also because of where we live, the beach lifestyle has made us a bit more relaxed. And the outdoors nature of life around here means that our exercise habits have vastly improved!
Dafne Schippers because I always have great admiration for athletes who are able to do the most amazing things and are so dedicated and committed. They are today's modern day superheros.
Jan van Speyk, the Dutch naval lieutenant, was the first character for our gins and I really would like to find out if he meant to blow himself up or how much navy gin he had been drinking.
I'd also pick resistance hero Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema because his adventures inspired us to find out more about the area where our distillery now is. Reading his book Soldier of Orange was really quite an eyeopener and bought the history of where we now live to life.
Get out of Amsterdam and into Leiden, or the beaches from Noordwijkerhout down to Katwijk. There is so much to do and see. Its much better to take a canal ride through the bulb fields than the city. The restaurants are diverse and excellent quality and there is so much space to take a breath and appreciate where you are! I know people say the Netherlands is overcrowded but I I look out of our window, I just see bulb fields. When I go running I'm on the beach one moment and on a street the next. But everyone has their own space, the cars, pedestrians and bikes.
When we were doing background research for our Chow Hound gin I discovered there are 36 square miles of greenhouses in the Netherlands. That is larger than the footprint of Manhattan!
Tricky one… I would spend it with Tim, our dog Maggie, walking, going to the beach and watching the sunset with a gin and tonic in my hand. Of course, the sun would have to be shining!
Find out more about the Driftwood Distillery here.
We're also giving away four bottles of the distillery's craft gin via a photo competition on our Facebook page.

Objective To analyze temporal trends of hospital admissions due to molar pregnancies in Italian and non-Italian women in Lombardy during the 1996–2008 period.
Methods A standard form is used to register all discharges from public or private hospitals in Lombardy. Hydatidiform mole (HM) cases were identified when searching the database for code 630 of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9). Ratios of HM per 100,000 pregnancies in strata of age and nationality were computed.
Results The estimated frequency of HM in Lombardy over the period 1996–2008 was 104.4 per 100,000 pregnancies (SE, 2.8) or 1 case in 935 pregnancies. The frequency of HM tended to decrease in the late 1990s, the crude ratio per 100,000 pregnancies being 127.3 in 1996, 89.3 in 2000, and 113.1 in 2008. The temporal trend analysis, adjusted for age class and geographical origin, showed a significant decrease (P = 0.025). The frequency of HM was 99.8/100,000 pregnancies among Italian women, 112.1/100,000 pregnancies among women from other European countries, 85.1/100,000 pregnancies among women from Africa, 176.9/100,000 pregnancies from South America, and 163.0/100,000 pregnancies among Asian women. Considering the periods 1996–2001 and 2002–2008 separately, the frequency of HMs was largely similar for all groups, except in Asian women: in this group, the frequency of HMs was 242.7/100,000 pregnancies and 120.1/100,000 pregnancies in 1996–2001 and 2002–2008, respectively.
Conclusion Between 1996 and 2008, the HM incidence in Lombardy showed a slight but significant decrease, mostly owing to the decrease of HM incidence among Asian women.

Open Knowledge Nepal recently launched the beta version of Open Data Nepal – a crowdsourced open data portal with comprehensive features to make data related to Nepal accessible online perpetually in a central hub. The main objective is to make data available in machine-readable formats with open licenses so that anyone can use, reuse and redistribute these data following the open data philosophy.
Data nowadays is a very important factor in major decisions making process and the openness of data is one of the key characteristics to make government transparent, accountable and responsible. As the demand side of the data is increasing constantly but lack of a central data catalog makes the task of searching and using data more difficult. After working in Nepal for all these years, we realized that the main hindrance for the people willing to use data is that all the government data are shared in unstructured formats like PDFs, scanned images without any accessing information and are hard to find on the internet. On many occasions, we have frequently asked journalists, researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, and students the problems they are facing while accessing and using the data of Nepal. Most of the points they have highlighted are similar as these data are scattered around the websites, shared in unstructured and non-machine readable formats, licensing condition are not included and the main thing is those data are not permanently available.
As one of the open data pioneers in Nepal, we wanted to address the problems efficiently by building a centralized platform where all the government data are available in machine-readable formats with open licenses and metadata. So, we launched the Open Data Nepal as a solution which can be used by researchers, data activists, students, developers and common citizens can benefit from it. They can use the portal to search, use, publish and analyze data without any restrictions.
It will encourage people to make innovative products and services by using these data and the chances of arising new data-driven entrepreneurial business and startups with innovative services will increases which will improve the welfare of individual consumers and citizens. These days government are seeking opportunities to engage with private sectors, civil societies and citizens for effective planning, decision making to achieve sustainable development through the use of data. The Open Data Nepal will be a great chance for collaboration as it complies with all the significant situation. Opening up a huge amount of data will help to improve transparency and accountability in government. Another benefit of crowdsourcing and openness is many minded principles as fixing is faster with open data. Many eyes make all bugs shallow, your data may be used and analyzed by someone else and if there are any mistakes it can be fixed faster.
Explore: Searching and finding dataset will be easy as there are many filtering techniques like categories, organizations, tags, formats, licenses.
Download: Datasets can be downloaded in machine-readable formats like CSV, TSV, JSON, XML.
Visualization: You can generate visualizations like a bar chart, line chart of every dataset so that the finding facts in the data will be easier. You can embed these visualizations on your websites.
Metadata: Metadata, meta description and data dictionary will help for a better understanding of the data.
Publish: You can publish your dataset easily by providing information and suitable open license.
Data API: Automatically generated APIs to allow for more sophisticated online querying and interaction with datasets.
As Martin Luther King said "I have a dream", we also have a dream to see Nepal achieving sustainable development through the use of open data.
As the demand side of the data is increasing constantly but lack of a central data catalog makes the task of searching and using data more difficult. Also, the structured and usable data are hard to find online. So, Open Knowledge Nepal launches the beta version of the Open Data Nepal on the occasion of the International Open Data Day 2018.
Public agencies and local government generate and publish an abundance of data publicly. But the main hindrance is that these data are not readily available and are in non-machine-readable formats like PDFs, images etc, scattered into the websites of different public agencies.
The Open Data Nepal aims to make Nepal's data accessible online perpetually in a central hub. The data available in the portal is harvested and crowdsourced from different public agencies and international organizations who work under the government of Nepal. One of the main features includes converting these data into a machine-readable format like CSV, JSON, TSV etc along with metadata and meta description. The portal can be used by researchers, journalists, private agencies, students, developers and Nepali citizens to meet their data needs. The harvested data will be shared online which can be used, reused and redistributed by anyone from any corner of the world to build innovative products, without any technical restriction. It invites users to download, upload and browse required data using different filtering mechanisms like search by categories, meta tags, formats etc. The user can also generate visualizations of every dataset for a better understanding of data by providing suitable parameters.
Data nowadays is a very important factor in major decisions making process and the openness of data is one of the key characteristics to make government transparent, accountable and responsible. These days government are seeking opportunities to engage with private sectors, civil societies and citizens for effective planning, decision making to achieve sustainable development through the use of data. The Open Data Nepal will be a great chance for collaboration as it complies with all the significant situation. The portal is the initiative of Open Knowledge Nepal – a nonprofit organization comprised of openness aficionadas, mainly self-motivated youths, who believes that openness of data is powerful in order to have a participatory government with civil society, eventually leading to sustainable development.
Open Data Nepal will help everyone who is looking and searching data to build the innovative solution, research, journalism and various other reasons. For example, journalists who want to investigate the pattern of government spending on the field of education over the years or the entrepreneur who wants to make traffic system of Kathmandu valley easier by using a mobile app. It also makes government sectors transparent, accountable and responsible more than ever. By bringing all kinds of government data to a centralized hub, we can easily fulfill the increasing public demand of data.
To know more about the Open Data Nepal, please contact Open Knowledge Nepal at data@oknp.org or visit the website opendatanp.org for more information.


Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensors protect space by 'looking' for changes in infrared (heat) energy levels caused by movement of an intruder.
The passive infrared detectors are passive devices. i.e., they do not transmit any form of energy. When a person enters and moves within the detecting zone, his body which is at its normal temperature of 98.6 degree F., radiates more (or less) thermal energy than the surroundings and such minute difference in thermal energy is detected by the PIR.
In simple words, PIR keeps a picture of the heat levels in its view and keeps on comparing the new view with the stored one. In case there is any change then they activate the alarm.

Rangda is the dream team of psych, bringing together three titans, each with equally impressive credentials: Sir Richard Bishop, guitar (Sun City Girls, Brothers Unconnected); Ben Chasny, guitar (Six Organs of Admittance, Comets on Fire, 200 Years, New Bums); and Chris Corsano, drums (Flaherty-Corsano Duo, Flower-Corsano Duo, Thurston Moore, Sunburned Hand of the Man, and the list goes on indefinitely from there). Each is independently responsible for his own staggering discography and so their team-up conjures lofty expectations.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Rangda is more than the sum of its parts. Performing live, each member inhabits his own third of the stage, hardly looking up from his instrument; and yet there is a communion among them that is unseen, intangible—it's spooky action at a distance. These live renditions are largely faithful to their studio counterparts, oscillating between wild frenzy and repetitive motifs drawn from eastern psych ragas. Bishop's and Chasny's guitars rage and duel, Corsano's drums provide context and setting for that drama to unfold.
We caught up with Rangda playing an early Friday evening set at Baby's All Right as part of a two-date jaunt to coincide with recording a new album. Here, they play songs from both proper Rangda albums, False Flag and Formerly Extinct, and add a longer song that's either brand new or a modified take on "Gracilaria," which appeared on a split 12″ with The Dead C. From False Flag, they do "Bull Lore" and the longform set-closer "Plain of Jars," which builds to a noisy catharsis before resolving into a rhythmic, repetitive guitar jam. "Majnun" and "Night Porter," both off Formerly Extinct, come off as riffs on some of Sun City Girls' more accessible, song-oriented material.
We unfortunately weren't able to get a feed from the room mics, but luckily the stereo house feed from Baby's FOH Rubes is more than adequate. The sound is outstanding and allows you to hear each guitar in its own channel (that's Chasny left, Bishop right), just as it sounded in the room. This one sounds great on headphones. Enjoy!
While there are no further Rangda dates scheduled for now, each have upcoming solo dates and/or releases. Chasny's new record as Six Organs of Admittance, Hexadic, is out February 27 on Drag City and a tour in support of it is scheduled. Bishop's new record, Tangier Sessions, is also due out February 27, and is also on Drag City. Corsano has a host of upcoming dates, with Ava Mendoza, Joe McPhee, and others.
If you enjoyed this recording, PLEASE SUPPORT Rangda. Buy False Flag and Formerly Extinct from Drag City.
Thank you! We were lucky enough to catch Rangda the next night up here in lil ole Florence MA. Dynamite show at a relatively new venue, The 13th Floor Music Lounge. Got to chat briefly with Chasny too, nice guy with some mad guitar skills.

STEM Club students combined their recycling project (in conjunction with United Utilities) and designed a way of harvesting the excess water collected on the roof to irrigate the allotment.
They worked with Engineers from United Utilities to understand how to conserve water and utilise harvested water in a more effective way in school.
This work was then submitted and assessed under the Crest criteria and students achieved the Bronze Crest Award.
The Crest Awards are still running and students have the opportunity to work upon a project which will count towards achieving this award.


As fingerprints sensors and CCTV cameras have become highly useful in securing family homes and commercial buildings, and the latest technological advances can only control different types of equipment, it is unwise to keep on saying no to people who want to teach you how to use the computer.
What makes you scared of it? Are you worried that you might be too old for this? The oldest Facebook user was 107 years old, and we are pretty certain that you are still quite far from that age. Because of that, there should not be a reason for you not to learn basic computer skills.
Or do you feel anxious about being unable to remember how to turn on and off the electronic device? That is entirely forgivable for first-timers like you. The worst scenario that can come out of it is that the battery of the gadget gets drained or – if it is a desktop – your electric bill will go a bit higher.
Nevertheless, before you can go deep into the world of technology, it is highly essential to learn how to touch type.
Touch typing is a process that teaches a person to type or click the keys of the keyboard. Through it, you'll be able to use all your fingers to write text without checking their position. It may be a little tricky in the beginning – that's a fact. However, if you see it as a challenge more than a hardship, you may develop a greater sense of touch that will enable you to type sans the sense of sight.
Such a skill is essential when you are typing what your professor or your boss is discussing, and you cannot look away from him because he might think that you are only chatting with someone and not taking notes. It is advantageous as well when you are in a dark room, and the light coming from your screen is too much to keep your eyes open.
Now, here is the exciting part. Make sure that you do not miss any point so that you can become a master at touch typing by the end of this article. Below are the steps you should follow.
Stretch your fingers and sit properly. Wiggle your hands for a few seconds and exercise your fingers until they feel relaxed. You need to get rid of their stiffness before you even begin to learn touch typing to stop them from aching.
Mind your sitting position. Keep your feet level on the ground and straighten your back. Your elbows should also be at a 90-degree angle.
Place your hands over the keyboard. Remember that the primary position for the fingers on your left hand. The pinky is on A, the ring finger on S, the middle one on D, and the index on F. For your right hand, the smallest one should stay on top of the colon/semi-colon, the ring finger on L, the middle on K, and the index on S. This placement will make it easier for you to reach all the other alphanumeric keys below and above the line.
Know which finger goes on which key. The main idea in touch typing is that you should only use your fingers on the letters they are designated to. Say, if your left pinky finger is supposed to be on letter A, it's best not to use the ring or middle finger to click it. Otherwise, you will most likely hit the wrong keys.
Eyes on the monitor, please. While looking at the keyboard when touch typing may not be allowed, you can get your fingers familiar with the different touch of every letter. It may not be stress-free in the beginning, but that's what remembering the previous tip is for.
Ready To Test Your Newfound Skills?
Learning the basics of a computer does not entail that you will need to take a written exam in the end. What's important is that you'll be able to apply what you have learned and see how fast you can type without watching your fingers move all over the keyboard.
Considering you don't think that you can DIY this task, there are various websites like Ratatype that provide typing speed tests. Some are free, yet the more comprehensive ones are not. You will generally be given a sentence or two as a trial, which you have to type as fast and as accurate as you can. Then, they will rate you based on the number of words you can type per minute, as well as your accuracy. Nonetheless, if you want to track your progress, it may better to opt for the latter so that you can see how far you have gone from being a computer noob to becoming a typing wiz.

Mystery over Brit tourist, 33, found dead on luggage trolley in plush Mexican resort
A FAMILY of a British tourist who mysteriously died in Mexico are desperately trying to find out what happened in his final hours.
Dean Wright, 33, from Newcastle, was found dead on a luggage trolley inside the luxury Cancun resort he was staying at last December.
Dean Wright, who was a keen traveller, was socialising on the night he died in Mexico
Fitness fanatic Dean Wright became unconscious after being involved in an altercation
The Brit had been staying at luxury Riu Hotel in Cancun, Mexico[/caption]
Fellow holidaymakers said that Dean was embroiled in an early-morning row with a group of Americans while visiting a 24-hour sports bar at the beachfront hotel, near Playa del Carmen.
Fitness fanatic Dean — 6ft5ins tall and well-built — stopped breathing after a group of Mexican security guards intervened and struggled to restrain him in a toilet.
But almost a year on his death remains a mystery and has left his mm and dad, Maria and Paul, wanting answers on how and why their own son died.
In a statement the family said: "We received the devastating phone call to say our lovely Dean had died, no explanation, just that he was dead.
"He was a 33-year-old, fun-loving, generous Geordie lad on holiday with his friend. He loved life and loved to chat to people."
The family are desperate to discover what happened to Dean and we can't do that without the help of people who were there at the time
Shane Smith, lawyer for Dean's distraught family
A police investigation both in the North East and in Mexico did not reach any conclusions about how he died, reports Chronicle Live.
Now, in a fresh appeal his family said: "It is all very unclear, confusing and terrible.
"We cannot properly grieve not knowing the truth about what happened."
They are desperate for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
What is known is that between December 13 and December 14 2019, Dean had socialised with various guests at the resort.
But some time between 5am and 7am, his family believe he may have been assaulted before his body was found soon after on a luggage trolley.

Assisting the family is former Senior Detective David Swindle, whose "David Swindle Crime Solutions" team helps support relatives of those killed abroad.
Meanwhile lawyer Shane Smith, a litigation executive at Slater and Gordon, is helping the family through the inquest process.
Mr Smith said: "It is vital that we can gather as much information as possible in order to present Dean's final movements to the coroner.
"The family are desperate to discover what happened to Dean and we can't do that without the help of people who were there at the time.
"This has been a long 12 months of questions for Dean's family and we really want to provide them with some answers."
An appeal website has been set up where the family describe Dean as a "bit of a joker who loved to make people laugh".
They said: "He was also a very caring and generous person who liked nothing better than to spend time with his family and friends."
"The bond he had with his mam was a special one. There wasn't a day went by without him being in contact with her either by phone or text."

Q: SwitchMaterial set checked immediately I have following SwitchMaterial component:
<com.google.android.material.switchmaterial.SwitchMaterial
     android:id="@+id/my_toggle"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     />

On activity creation, I want to set the switcher to true/false, based on the database value:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     //***
     myToggle.setChecked(defaultValue);
}

The problem is, that when the activity is created, I can see the component to toggle to the state that I set. Is it possible to set the state immediately - without running toogle animation? For example, in this third party library, it can be achieved by setCheckedImmediately(). However, I can see no such option in SwitchMaterial.

After almost 25 years in banking/financial services management, I returned to higher education in 2000 to study for an information systems degree and, subsequently, post-graduate PhD research.
BSc (Hons) ISD
I gained my BSc (Hons) ISD degree in 2003, at UCLan:. My Web pages include some elements:
papers on the Data Protection Act 1998, the evolution of Intranets 1 in organisations, and employee motivational issues caused by technology "change in the workplace" 1.
Programming: some examples are trivial - some more involved.
Systems Analysis & Design and Database development.
PhD Computing
My PhD Computing research focused on information integration in Web environments, using Semantics-based search with "Semantic Web" technologies such as RDF/XML, RDF Schema and OWL Web Ontology Language in the Semantic Web. I completed my PhD in 2010
My semantics-based Web search work included Java programming, using the Jena Ontology API framework, to develop an Ontology-enabled application. In effect, I created a prototype "semantic search engine" - the key elements were:
Information Sharing - Ontology Integration and Semantic Web 2.
A semantic search tool, termed SemSeT - developed to conduct Information Retrieval (IR) experiments, initially using test data and then with the TExt Retrieval Conference (TREC) dataset: WT2G document collection.
The use of small ontology modules for Ontology-based query expansion (OQE) to improve search precision and recall.
I have experience in databases: from MS Access to MySQL, MS SQL Server 2000/08/12, and Oracle 8i/11g database management systems.
I have used the Oracle 11g OEM and the Oracle Forms/SQL Developer tools and I teach an advanced database systems module at UCLan.
1 download Adobe Acrobat Reader to open PDF files automatically.
2 Scientific American: The Semantic Web: Web content meaningful to computers.
Currently, I am an associate lecturer at UCLan, in the School of Physical Sciences and Computing. I teach Oracle-based Advanced Database Systems and Database Administration, Systems Analysis & Design, and project-based Professional Skills.
Some Web pages cover my computing and related studies and include several static and dynamic Web-design projects, some functional code examples have been provided.
Lighter and more interesting content, relates to my keen interest in railways (both model railways and their protoypes in Europe and North America) and hillwalking.
I am a hillwalker in this country, have visited Switzerland many times, and have also trekked in the Nepal Himalaya. Switzerland has provided a particular interest offering both excellent Swiss railways and mountains.
Last, but not least, I am a life-long supporter of Stoke City FC.
Projects have involved various programming languages and applications, including XHTML, CSS, Active Server Pages (ASP and ASP.NET), Javascript, Flash, SQL, C++.
I have also used C# to create an online European Railways (UIC) EVN VKM locomotive and vehicle number classification system tool.
I have walked extensively in the Pennines, the Lake District, the Scottish Highlands and Switzerland - this has included over 60 Scottish Munros and over 100 Cumbrian tops. I have completed the Pennine Way, Coast to Coast, and West Highland Way - long distance walks.
I have also trekked in the foothills and mountains of the Nepal Himalaya, having reached the summit of Mera Peak (6476m) in 1990 and trekked to Langtang in 1991.
This photo epitomises the joy of hillwalking in the great outdoors; it shows the rugged terrain and wilderness surrounding Lochnagar - as shown in a pictorial diary of two days hillwalking in the Scottish Highlands, near Braemar - in August 2003.
I have a life-long interest in Railways, both model and prototype.
View my photo gallery showing British OO gauge and European/North American HO/HOm gauge models - and railway exhibition layouts.
Also included are photos of protoype British and European railways - including heritage operations.
I have an American HO (1:87) scale layout (29th Street Wharf) that I have substantially re-developed; by extension and replacement of trackwork and point controls, re-modelling of industrial and harbour-side themes, and conversion to digital command control (DCC) sound-enabled systems.
I have recently created two new layouts. The first, a US O-scale (1:48) layout (Arcadia Pennsylvania Terminal), focused on the era 1960s to 1980s and also featuring sound-enabled locomotives; the second, a British, OO (1:76) scale layout "Clayton End Signalman" that will present cameos of the periods circa 1950s/70s and 1980s onwards.
All three layouts are booked to be regularly exhibited at UK Model Railway shows, ranging from Perth in Scotland, the North West of England, through to the Midlands, South West, and the South East.
My "real-world" interests are Swiss and UK railways, including the Swiss Rhätische Bahn in the Graubünden region. I have two railway related blogs - WebTrain Savvy and @TheWebTrain.
I have been a member of the Swiss Railways Society and also the RMweb community.
My ambitions are to travel on the Venice Simplon Orient Express (VSOE) and journey through the Canadian Rockies!

Natural gas accounts for almost a quarter of United States energy consumption, and the NYMEX Division natural gas futures contract is widely used as a national benchmark price. The futures contract trades in units of 10,000 million British thermal units. The price is based on delivery at the Henry Hub in Louisiana. According to NYMEX, the spread between natural gas futures and electricity futures can be used to manage price risk in the power markets.
Ask any natural gas trader, producer or general investor what trading tools or types of financial analysis he is using and you're probably going to hear a list of different technologies and methods. However, having the right tool for the job is critical. Trading software can be used to augment an existing approach by supplying an inter-market perspective. The key to a natural gas trading system is its ability to forecast moving averages. One of the better natural gas trading software products is VantagePoint trading software that will help "see" what is likely to happen in the natural gas market before other traders (using only single-market analysis) catch wind of it.


DISCLAIMER: I admit that I am basing my reaction on the trailer. I am drawing my own conclusions from the imagery presented and character interactions suggested by the editing of these snippets. Trailers are designed to entice viewers to see the film – they are not the whole film.
So, what did I surmise from the trailer?
It seems like Catherine Keener's character has experience as a hypnotist. We can make this conclusion because he husband, in a nice little piece of convenient exposition, tells the main character that his wife can help him to stop smoking via hypnosis.
I hesitate to call her character a hypnotherapist, because we do not know the basis of her background. Read about the distinction here.
With that in mind, the inclusion of hypnosis in the trailer suggests that it is an important plot device in the film. In this film, at least based on the information in the trailer, hypnosis is our gun on the wall. But to what end?
As we move through the trailer, we see images of the main character presumably being placed, without his consent, into a state of hypnosis by Keener, who is stirring a cup of tea, presumably to create a rhythmic pattern and touchstone for the main character's state. She is heard telling him to "Sink into the floor," and he then finds himself waking up bound to a recliner.
The other African Americans in the universe of Keener's home appear to be acting oddly. Blank stares, maniacal laughs, bloody noses when they appear to wake from a trance... the list of tropes goes on. One presumed victim of Keener's programming seems to realize what is happening to him after the strobe of a cellphone camera frees him from his Stepford-like state.
The implication to these events, the conclusion that I draw about the film is that Keener, and possibly her husband and the town, are complicit in conducting behavioral modification on these characters to make them "safe," essentially white-washing the scary black man into behaving like a caricature from the 40s (complete with straw hat).
I applaud him for making that leap in storytelling. Racial fears are fantastically fertile ground for a new age of horror/suspense films, particularly given the current perceptions of division in the US.
I DO NOT commend him for using hypnosis as a tool to conduct what appears to be brainwashing. Even the CIA has disproved that theory.
Misguided and ill-informed presentations of hypnosis make my job more difficult. I resent them.
They reinforce fears and misconceptions in a public whom is uneducated about the benefits of hypnosis. These fears prevent people from seeking out a tool that could help them to live a happier, healthier life.
These incorrect beliefs lead people to be afraid of me when I tell them I am a hypnotherapist. They jump to a conclusion that I have the power to control them.
Not only do I not have that power, I do not care to control anyone.
The purpose of my practice is to help my clients to live their lives more fully: The lives they choose to live, not some fantasy of white-washed behavior.
By all means, if this film intrigues you, see it. Please just realize that it is a work of fiction and as such, contains elements that are not entirely truthful.

Journalism >
Former graduates >
Why study Journalism?
Journalism is exciting work, as some of our alumni explain.
Glen Scanlon
Former RNZ head of news and digital
UC graduate Glen Scanlon was probably destined to be a journalist - his mother has been writing great yarns for nearly 40 years, his twin brother is an award-winning journalist, and he is married to a journalist. He started as a crime reporter at The Dominion before working at The Press, The Dominion Post and as chief reporter on the Waikato Times. Glen then disappeared overseas for five years with stints at The Guardian and CNN, among others. He returned to be the Waikato Times' assistant editor before becoming Stuff.co.nz's news editor then editor and, now, RNZ's head of digital. He is a previous winner of UC's Robert Bell Travelling Scholarship and last year won Fairfax NZ's Mike Robson Scholarship, allowing him to spend a month studying investigative journalism in Europe.
"When I was quite young mum worked from home for Radio New Zealand. I can still remember her packing us in the car, with her portable radio pack the size of a fridge, and roaring out to stories. I'm not quite sure how she did it but it left us with a taste for the job. Journalism has been my passport around the world. I have met some incredibly talented (and crazy, bless them) people and tried to learn a little bit off all of them. The change in 16 years has been immense - when I started there was only one computer on our floor that could access the internet (and very slowly). Now it travels around in my pocket. It might be a roller coaster but there is still nothing that beats the thrill of a great news story."
Ali Pugh
1News reporter and presenter Christchurch breakfast show, The Hits
You can hear more from former graduate Ali Pugh, who landed a job at TVNZ fresh out of graduating from UC's journalism programme in 2008. From her first role monitoring the new assignments desk, she progressed to a reporter/producer position on Breakfast then a job on One News back in her hometown of Christchurch. In 2014, she became co-host of TV One's Breakfast, and is currently presenter of Christchurch radio breakfast show, The Hits.
You can view a video from Alison in our video gallery.
Martin van Beynen
Senior journalist and columnist, Fairfax Media
Former UC graduate Martin van Beynen is now an award-winning senior writer and columnist for The Press. In the 2010 Canon Media Awards he won the Story of the Year award for a feature on the trial and acquittal of David Bain, and was later named Fairfax Media Journalist of the Year 2010–11. At the 2012 Canon Media awards, he won Senior Reporter of the Year, Senior Newspaper Feature Writer of the Year, and the prestigious Wolfson Fellow to Cambridge University. His book, Trapped: Remarkable Stories of Survival from the 2011 Canterbury Earthquake, was published in 2012, and, in 2017, he produced Fairfax Media's first ever podcast series, Black Hands, which shot to the top of Apple's iTunes charts on its release.
"I still think, even after 25 years in journalism, it is a noble job. You may not change the world but in many ways you are the eyes, ears, conscience, advocate and analyst for the public. Journalism has plenty of mundane moments but generally every day is interesting, different and challenging. You have a lot of control over your work and you can shine as an individual or as part of a team.
Rapidly changing technologies and media vehicles or platforms provide many more opportunities for career development and variety. Journalism has given me the opportunity to work in other countries, to indulge my interests, to try different things including management and play a role in the community. Most of all I like the people who are attracted to the job."

Disastrous flash flood ravages the streets of Bodrum, Turkey
The Watchers – by Elena Urgin
A disastrous flash flood hit the Bodrum town in Turkey on the evening of September 22, 2015. An unprecedented event inundated the streets as strong flood waters came rushing down the adjacent mountains. 8 people were injured and at least 40 were rescued from their homes by the Turkey's Search and Rescue Society (AKUT), media reports.
A severe flash flood began late evening on September 22 and lasted for about three hours. Raging flood waters were rushing down the streets carrying a number of vehicles for more than 300 meters (1 000 feet) and leaving them scattered all over the town center.

About 220.6 mm (8.7 inches) of rain fell in a 24 hour period between September 22 and September 23, in Bodrum. At the same time, 54.1 mm (2.1 inches) was recorded in Alanya, 76.4 mm (3 inhces) in Finike and 83.2 mm (3.3 inches) of rainfall was measured in Antalya, according to World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The waters rose about 2 meters (6.6 feet) along the Uckuyular Avenue, Ataturk Avenue, Dere Street, Hamam Street and Cevat Sahit Street.

A number of drivers have been left stranded in their vehicles, and at least 40 people were trapped in their homes and rescued by the AKUT personnel. The main road connecting Bodrum and the Konacik neighborhood was closed, and the traffic was heavily disrupted across the affected areas.

Luckily, no victims have been reported, although the waters have been so strong that a few sidewalks and asphalt have been torn apart by its force.

"I've never before seen such a disaster in Bodrum. No municipality, no institution could have stood a chance against it. Waters rose 2-3 meters, my own vehicle was dragged 300 meters. What's important is that there was no loss of life," Ertan Basar, a flood witness stated.

Effective corporate tax planning can also result in significant improvements in your bottom line.
We have the expertise and software to take the headache out of the form filling and compliance aspect of Self Assessment. We can provide you with practical advice on personal tax and the planning opportunities available to you. Over recent years HMRC have increased the penalties for failing to file a return on time and for errors made. We can complete tax returns, calculate any tax liability and advise you on exactly when to make payments and how much to pay.
Few of us like to think about dying; however the relevant legislation requires us to plan well in advance. This means making the necessary provisions now. There are many tax opportunities available and the earlier arrangements are made, the greater the chance of taking full advantage of our complex tax system.
