The characters from Alice in Wonderland have always been a popular costume choice when it comes to a Halloween or dress up party because they are so diverse, unique and iconic, so when the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland came out in 2010 people were scrabbling for a Johnny Depp inspired Mad Hatter costume with bright red hair and fluttering eyelashes. The beauty of going as the Mad Hatter to a party is that there are several portrayals you can go as – you can go as the Johnny Depp version, you can go as the classic Disney animated version with a big hat and tails. Whatever you do, make sure you have an oversized top hat and you will be right as reign!
When I suggest going as Madonna to an "M" themed costume party, I'm not talking about current or modern day Madonna – I'm talking the iconic 80's golden child Madonna complete with cone bra, fishnets and neon outfits. An easy costume to put together by raiding your mum's 80's outfits, go in singing "Material Girl" and guests will cotton on straight away!
One of my favourite fairy tale/legend characters is the character of Maid Marion – the object of Robin Hood's heart's desire. I love the fox version, hate the Once Upon a Time version, but will always love the noblewoman herself. When dressing the part of Maid Marion you have to think of a noblewoman in the Renaissance period and what she would wear. It's usually great to buy this particular costume online because you can get more detailed and intricate styles available in any particular colour, length or style that you would you like.
Back when the Angelina Jolie movie came out Maleficent was the most popular female costume of Halloween, and there's no reason why you shouldn't reuse your look for an "M" themed party. A Maleficent costume might sound hard, but it's actually a lot easier than you think! All you need is a long black robe and staff (or you can buy some ready-made costumes from online party stores) and some handy DIY skills to make her amazing horned crown. Check out my article for 5 Surprisingly Easy Costumes For Parties in a Pinch for a video on how to make one for yourself.
If you're an Adventure time fan than you won't go past dressing up as the cool and rocking Marcelene the Vampire Queen from the hit animated TV show. It's an easy costume because all you need are jeans and a striped red and black sweater, long black hair, vampire teeth and matching vampire bite marks on the neck. Sling a red guitar around your neck if you have access to one and get ready to rock!
Marie Antoinette's costume is similar to Maid Marion's in era, but the French queen who was beheaded was well known for having extravagant tastes, meaning that this look has to be extravagant in every detail. Think sweet, candy-pink colours, rich velvet materials, white elegant socks and high beaver hair do's splattered with accessories.
You can buy several Marie Antoinette costumes online, so go all out if you going as the queen, and if anyone has a problem with it, tell them to eat some cake.
I mentioned his brother Luigi in our last Alphabet Files costume ideas, but Mario has always been the star of the show. Easily dressed in a similar fashion with denim overalls, a red shirt and matching red hat, paste a giant brunette moustache to your face and avoid eating stray mushrooms.
There are several characters that I am obsessed with: Lara Croft, Catwoman, Belle, Maid Marion. But the gothic in me loves nothing more than then beautiful queen of the night herself; Mortica Addams. Known for her passionate embraces with her husband Gomez and the sultry way she calls to him in French, Morticia has a penchant for the dark and dreary, but has a soul so rich and open its hard not to fall in love with her yourself.
The character of Morticia would make a great couples costume if you happen to have scored yourself a real life Gomez, but the outfit is also pretty slinky! Think a long, figure-hugging black dress with a train that fans out at the edges, pale make up and long black hair. It will be enough to make the guys at the party go, "Tish! That's French!" and start kissing your arm.
So there you have it, some excellent ideas for your next "M" themed party. Remember, all of these costumes may be based on specific characters, but the beauty of a dress up party is that your costumes can be fluid when it comes to gender. If you try to "cross-dress" (for want of a better word) I'd love to see the results! Don't forget to email me at thepartyconnection@hotmail.com with your pics!

Q: Calculate dot product between two dictionaries millions of times I have two dictionaries d1 = {'string1': number1, ..., 'string5 000 000': number5000000} which does not change and many small dictionaries d_i = {'str1': num1, ..., 'str50': num50} (i = 2, 3, ..., a few million). I want to do a dot product between these dictionaries i.e. for every key in dictionary d_i that exists also in d_1 I would like their numbers multiplied and then added to the sum.
The problem is that first dictionary is extremely big and there are millions of small dictionaries.
How do I do that fast? Can I use some big data techniques for that?

A: You can put your data to pandas dataframe and then do dot product between series in dataframe. It can be faster but in you case I would measure how much time it takes in case of python implementation and pandas.

Collections of 15th century poems to be designated as 'national treasures'. August. 24, 2018 07:55. by Won-Mo Yu onemore@donga.com.
A collection of 15th century poems by top Confucian scholars of the Joseon Dynasty and envoys from China's Ming Dynasty and an album of Joseon poems will be designated as South Korea's "national treasures."
The Cultural Heritage Administration said Thursday that it will designate the Collection of Poems by the Ming Envoys and Joseon Academicians (Treasure No. 1404) and the Album of Poems for the Eight Views of XiaoXiang (Treasure No. 1405) as national treasures.
The Collection of Poems by the Ming Envoys and Joseon Academicians contains 37 poems written in the mid-15th century by Ming envoys to Joseon and Joseon academicians at Jiphyeonjeon, Confucian academic research institute, in a competition over their literary achievements. Originally made in the form of a book, the collection was re-created as a16-meter-long scroll during the Qing Dynasty. The scroll ended up in South Korea around 1958 and was appraised by Jeon Hyeong-pil (1906-1962), a renowned art collector who tried to preserve and research Korea's cultural relics. Historic records about the literary competition still exist.
The Cultural Heritage Administration said that the scroll is a "precious material" in the research of the history of calligraphy because it preserves some of the top Joseon academicians' rare handwritings in various styles.
The Album of Poems for the Eight Views of XiaoXiang is a collection of poems written by 21 great writers of the 15th century. Grand Prince Anpyeong, the third son of King Sejong the Great, created the album in 1442. The "eight views of XiaoXiang" refers to eight scenic locations in the Xiaoxiang region, in what is now modern Hunan Province, China.

Where to get clay Ganeshas this festive season?
Ganesha Chaturthi is just round the corner and instead of scouring the city or the internet for eco-friendly clay Ganeshas (there's no way you could possibly be thinking of using any other type), read through these details to find out where you can pick up one or better still – make one – with hardly any effort.
Youth in the city seem to have taken a more proactive stance this year with regard to the Ganesha Chaturthi festival and its environmental impact. Two such groups – To Make A Difference (TMAD) and Youth for Seva – are volunteering their time to minimise environmental damage during the festival by promoting eco-friendly practices. They emphasise the use of unpainted clay idols and nature-based dyes for painting the idols; proper disposal of idols and other material used during the festival.
TMAD- Bangalore is focussing its efforts this year to keep stalls in residential layouts or or supply idols to apartment complexes, based on the required number of idols. Their request is for all readers to speak to your apartment/layout committee about this initiative and thus spread the message. To keep a stall at your premises, you could contact the TMAD volunteers: Anilkumar BVN (09880994182)/Kamalnath 09886642073/Pullarao(09886734321). Their idols this year are of 2 sizes (1 foot and 2 feet) and for bulk orders, the last date is 30Aug 2011.
And if you happen to be attending Oota from your Thota on Aug 28th (Sunday), you could buy a clay idol from the TMAD stall at the event.
Muniraj/Nirmala – Ph:25631498 – 4th block, 2nd cross Koramangala opp Krishna Sagar hotel, near Cauvery Nursing Home.
For those living near Cantonment, there is always the option of buying clay from Pottery Town and modelling your own idol!
So there really is no way out – you need to choose one of these options for clay Ganeshas to celebrate the festival this year. And then, if you could ensure that you immerse the idol with only biodegradable decorations (if at all) and preferably do it in a bucket of water and pour the water for your plants/garden, you will have a truly enjoyable celebration; and can then tuck into your well-earned modakas.

Many women who have been treated for breast cancer have had surgery, like a lumpectomy, modified or simple mastectomy, or radical mastectomy. A breast prosthesis or breast form is an artificial breast that is used after a woman's breast has been surgically altered or removed. These forms come in a variety of materials (usually silicone, foam, or fiberfill) and can be worn inside a bra or attached to the body with a special adhesive.
There are advantages to having a breast prosthesis.
Bedside commodes, known by a host of other names including commode chair, toilet chair or portable commode, are an important bedroom addition for many patients. As the name implies, bedside commodes are commonly placed at the bedside to be used as a portable toilet by patients who have difficulty getting to the bathroom on their own or with enough time.
Portable commodes come in many different styles, to suit various needs. All-in-one commodes are very useful because some individuals may have a hard time getting to the bathroom during the night.For patients with limited mobility, a commode with drop arms is important to make transferring on and off the commode easier.
Alternating Pressure Mattresses are designed to be used by bed ridden patients who have lost the ability to move in bed, change their resting position or with lowered mental awareness level. Alternating Pressure Mattresses consist of individual air tubes that automatically inflate and deflate on a set schedule which changes the pressures on a given point on the body, enhancing tissue perfusion by increasing blood flow through capillaries as pressure is applied and released. Alternating Pressure Mattresses greatly lower the risk of pressure sores or bed sores. Alternating Pressure Mattresses can prevent or help heal decubitus ulcers, commonly called 'bedsores' or 'pressure sores' and provide comfort to patients with burns, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, Fibromyalgia, etc.

The increase is being driven by the improvement in the labor market, rising income, and low prices, including gas prices.
The AAA said that one in three Americans is expected to travel during the year-end holiday period, which begins on Wednesday, December 23, 2015, until Sunday, January 3, 2016.
The AAA also expects 100.5 million people to travel more than 50 miles or more from their home, which represents a 1.4 percent increase over last year's numbers.
This year's figure is also the seventh consecutive year that year-end holiday travel has grown.
Marshall Doney, the president and CEO of AAA, said that "the record number of people traveling this holiday should make for a joyous travel season."
"Rising incomes and low gas prices are helping to fill stockings this year, and more people than ever will choose to spend those savings on travel this year," she said.
Data in November from the Labor Department shows that the average hourly earnings was estimated to have risen by 2.3 percent over the last year, according to The Christian Monitor.
The unemployment rate was also recorded as falling at an annual amount of 0.8 percent.
The Christian Monitor adds that gas prices in November averaged $2.14 per gallon across the U.S while a roundtrip ticket via airfare averaging $17, which is lower than previous years.
The AAA said that 91.3 million people are expected to drive to their holiday destinations, an increase of 1.4 percent from last year's figures.
Air Travel is expected to increase by 0.7 percent to 5.8 million people while traveling by other modes of transportation, which include cruises, trains, and buses, will increase 2.4 percent, to 3.4 million travelers.

Fredrik Rosing Bull  (Oslo, 25 de diciembre, 1882 - 7 de junio, 1925) fue un pionero de las TIC, conocido por inventar y diseñar algunas de las primeras máquinas para gestionar las tarjetas perforadas.

En 1907 acabó sus estudios de ingeniería civil en la Escuela Técnica de Kristiania (Kristiania Tekniske Skole). En 1916 fue contratado como inspector técnico de la compañía de seguros de Storebrand. Allí es donde se interesó por la tecnología de las tarjetas perforadas con las que la empresa trabajaba, y asumió la tarea de desarrollar su propia máquina para la gestión de estas. En 1919 obtuvo su patente, y en 1921, había dispuesto un equipo de trabajo que se hizo cargo de la implantación de su nueva máquina a la empresa donde entonces trabajaba, Storebrand . Este equipo aportó varias ideas completamente nuevas y más eficaces para la máquina de Bull, haciendo que ésta fuera superior a la hasta entonces utilizada, la máquina tabulador de Herman Hollerith, precursor de IBM . Bull siguió desarrollando sus ideas, mejorando la máquina, la cual tuvo un gran éxito en el resto de Europa. Trágicamente, se le diagnosticó cáncer con una edad muy prematura y murió en 1925 con sólo 42 años de edad. Sus patentes fueron posteriormente vendidas y el 1931 constituyeron las bases para la fundación de la empresa francesa Groupe Bull, hoy en día una de las empresas más grandes operativa en más de 100 países.

Familia

Nacido en Oslo, hijo de Ole Bornemann Bull (1842-1916) y su primera esposa Marie Cathrine Lund (1843-1884).
Su padre, el Dr. Ole Bornemann Bull, fue un reconocido oculista. Entre otras cosas, colaboró con Gerhard Armauer Hansen que descubriría el  Mycobacterium leprae  el agente causante de la lepra, en la investigación de los efectos de la lepra en los ojos. También es conocido por haber desarrollado un método para determinar el grado de sensación del color.

Fredrik se crio en una familia numerosa. Fue el octavo de quince hermanos. La familia Bull representa a la vez el talento y la pasión por la tecnología y la ciencia ya que, por ejemplo, todos los hermanos mayores de Fredrik fueron ingenieros. Su hermano Anders Henrik Bull es conocido por sus estudios en telegrafía sin hilos, radiotelegrafía.

Fredrik siguió con la tradición familiar y en 1904 empezó sus estudios de ingeniería de la construcción en la Kristiania Teknisk Skole.

Educación

Fredrik Rosing Bull comenzó sus estudios de ingeniería civil en Escuela Técnica de Kristiania en 1904, estudios que acabaría en 1907.

La Escuela Técnica de Kristiania fue construida en Oslo en 1889, y en aquella época proporcionaba el máximo grado de estudios ofrecidos a Noruega en ingeniería civil.

Fredrik Rosing Bull fue un estudiante con mucho talento, obteniendo unas de las mejores notas de su promoción.

Storebrand

En 1916 fue contratado como inspector técnico de la compañía de seguros de Storebrand donde entraría en contacto con las máquinas tabuladoras del momento.

Las tarjetas perforadas y máquinas de tarjetas perforadas ya habían sido desarrolladas en los Estados Unidos por el ingeniero Herman Hollerith y se utilizaron inicialmente en Noruega por la Oficina Central de estadística en 1894.

El interés de Bull por las máquinas de tarjetas perforadas parece que viene dado a un viaje. Fredrik Bull fue enviado al extranjero a estudiar los sistemas de Hollerith de donde volvió con una idea clara de que los sistemas de Hollerith eran caros e inestables. Estaba convencido de ser capaz de desarrollar algo que fuera más barata y más adecuada a las necesidades de la empresa para la que trabajaba, Storebrand, llegando a afirmar que él podía construir un sistema mejor que el de Hollerith. Debido a ello, logró recibir un anticipo de 10 000 dólares para trabajar en su máquina. Las condiciones de trabajo fueron complicadas ya que en caso de no tener éxito con el proyecto, el importe total debía ser reembolsado.

Su plan era utilizar la técnica electromagnética que ya estaba utilizando Hollerith, pero con una serie de mejoras. La utilización de las tarjetas perforadas de 45 columnas permitían leer la información al hacer contacto a través de los agujeros. Este método permitía tratar la información de manera mucho más rápida. Mientras que las máquinas del momento obligaban a hacer gran parte del trabajo manual, Bull aportó diversas mejoras para la reducción de esta parte de trabajo manual, como la estandarización de las tarjetas perforadas y la pre-selección. En terminología moderna podríamos decir que las mejoras de Bull querían hacer una máquina de tarjetas perforadas programable y universal.

La primera máquina

Bull necesitó casi 2 años para poder poner en práctica sus ideas, en el que sería su primera máquina completa.

La máquina fue presentada en su taller a los directores de Storebrand el 12 de enero de 1921 y posteriormente adquirido por 20.000 libras esterlinas el 21 de enero de 1921 .
La máquina que se instaló en Storebrand es un combinado de máquinas ordenadores y máquinas tabuladoras. La máquina sin embargo, no tuvo éxito ya que no era lo suficientemente eficiente, estable ni fiable como se esperaba. Todo y así estuvo en funcionamiento en Storebrand hasta el 1926.

Al mismo tiempo, Bull había puesto en contacto con un antiguo amigo de la escuela secundaria de Nordstrand, Reidar Knutsen quien dirigía la empresa Oka. Con este contacto es cuando conoció a Knut Andreas Knutsen el hermano pequeño de Reidar, que era ingeniero, y quien comenzó a trabajar con Bull.

La máquina de Bull

El 31 de julio de 1919 Bull había hecho tantos avances que decidió patentar su creación. En su patente se describe en detalle su idea de una máquina tabulador programable y de cómo podía ser construida. No sería pero hasta el 1923 que tendría completamente terminada.

Gracias a su invento, bautizado como la 'máquina ordenadora, grabadora y sumadora utilizando tarjetas perforadas' ( sorter, recorder & adder ), y una vez visto el éxito obtenido, emprende entonces la producción de nuevos ejemplares de su máquina T -30 aportando perfeccionamientos sucesivos. Varias compañías de seguros de Dinamarca como Storebrand se interesan por su tecnología.

Fredrik firmó entonces un contrato con la sociedad Oka, dirigida por Reidar Knutsen, la cual se hizo cargo de los gastos de fabricación y de comercialización. La producción de estas máquinas se llevó a cabo en un taller de precisión de Oslo.

La máquina de Bull utilizaba tarjetas perforadas de 45 columnas, con perforaciones redondas y un sumador rotatorio. Su máquina, mejora sustancialmente a las máquinas que hasta entonces ofrecía la competencia, Hollerith y Powers, gracias al mecanismo de Preseli colección de tarjetas perforadas.

La máquina resultó ser un éxito y recibió muy buenas críticas y publicidad. Los factores clave del éxito consistieron en: la calidad técnica de la máquina, la sencillez a la hora de utilizarla, la aportación respecto a la tecnología anterior, el ahorro de costes y la posibilidad para los usuarios de salir del monopolio de IBM y poder comprar sus propios equipos en lugar de alquilarlos.

Otras patentes

Bull seguir trabajando en mejoras para la máquina y también en el desarrollo de nuevas máquinas. Por ejemplo, una máquina de clasificación y una nueva máquina tabulador.

Algunas de las mejoras a tener más en cuenta son: el cambio de los interruptores que controlaban la entrada de las tarjetas perforadas y la ampliación del dispositivo a mayor escala.

El dispositivo de lectura era la parte más crítica de la máquina. Construido con una serie de conductores de la electricidad o manantiales, las tarjetas perforadas eran introducidas en la máquina donde al prensar, estos manantiales pasaban a través de los agujeros de las tarjetas produciendo contacto. Como los manantiales sólo pasaban por donde había agujero en la tarjeta, se almacenaba la información correcta. Uno de los problemas principales de este método era la poca robustez del material de las tarjetas, lo que hacía que el método no siempre funcionara de la manera más correcta. Otro problema importante era el polvo que se introduce en los agujeros de los contactos. Finalmente, uno de los problemas más graves con los que Bull y Knutsen se encontraron, fue que debido a los contactos se creaban chispas que hacían que la máquina dejara de funcionar frecuentemente. Todos estos detalles fueron siendo mejorados constantemente.

La producción de las máquinas de Bull se inició de una manera bastante lenta. En 1921 se produjeron un total de 2 máquinas, 2 en 1922, 2 en 1923, 4 en 1924 y 6 en 1925, distribuidas todas entre empresas de Noruega, Dinamarca (de donde cabe destacar la HAFNI), Finlandia y Suiza. Siempre hubo muchos problemas con las máquinas y Knut Andreas Knutsen estuvo constantemente viajando por estos países reparando y modificando las máquinas de los clientes.

Enfermedad y muerte

En verano de 1924 se le diagnosticó cáncer, enfermedad que acabaría con su vida, pese a las operaciones a las que se sometió, el 7 de junio de 1925, cuando Bull tenía sólo 42 años de edad.

Aunque el diagnóstico del verano de 1924, Bull siguió trabajando, hasta el agravamiento que sufrió en otoño de ese mismo año. Los médicos no le dieron ninguna esperanza, y él, consciente de su destino dejó el trabajo hecho, aprovechando los últimos días para compartir sus últimas ideas con Knutsen, a quien le sería encargado continuar con su obra. Sus derechos sobre las patentes fueron adquiridos por Oka, donde Knutsen fiel a las ideas de Bull, continuaría la expansión de la máquina y la empresa. Knutsen se concentró en nuevas máquinas para la obtención de los resultados registrados impresos en papel, ordenados tanto numéricamente como en orden alfabético y de impresión. Fue el primero en aplicar métodos de impresión mediante ruedas.

Groupe Bull

Los años siguientes a la muerte de Bull, 1926, 1927 y 1928 fueron años de dificultades pero también de alegrías y sorpresas. Las máquinas instaladas y alquiladas en compañías suizas despertaron un gran interés en Suiza. En 1927, el belga Emile Genon compraba las patentes para poder realizar su explotación en el continente Europeo (excepto Escandinavia). En 1928 entraría en un acuerdo con la empresa suiza HW Egli para la producción de las máquinas de Bull. La producción comenzó en 1929.

Más tarde, Genon, consciente de las mejoras de Knutsen en Escandinavia intentó mejorar también sobre sus patentes, la tecnología de la máquina de clasificación vertical y la de impresión en papel. Esto lo consiguió definitivamente al hacerse con los servicios de Knutsen a quien le fue ofrecido el puesto de ingeniero jefe de HW Egli. Este aceptó a cambio de mover la empresa a Francia donde había más mercado al que llegar. Así pues, se fundó en 1931 la Bull-HW Egli con sede en París. Dos años más tarde, en 1933, la empresa sufriría una reorganización y un cambio de nombre, se pasaba a decir Compagnie des Machines Bull, la actual Groupe Bull. Knutsen continuó como ingeniero jefe hasta su jubilación en 1958.

There are many reasons why you should never go skiing by yourself. Besides being less fun, it can also be extremely dangerous. Winston Goss and his son were skiing when his son all of a sudden disappeared! Thankfully, Winston saw that his son fell into a tree well, the area of loose snow around the trunk of a tree. His son could have easily suffocated if his dad didn't drag him out from under the heavy snow. Terrifying!

Dunmore Head () is a promontory in the westernmost part of the Dingle Peninsula, located in the barony of Corca Dhuibhne in southwest County Kerry, Ireland. The headland, together with parts of Mount Eagle's northern slopes is formed from steeply dipping beds of the cross-bedded sandstones of the Eask Sandstone Formation, dating from the Devonian period and traditionally referred to as the Old Red Sandstone.

Dunmore Head is the westernmost point of mainland Ireland and one of the westernmost points of Europe. On 11 March 1982, the Spanish container ship, MV Ranga, was wrecked at Dunmore Head, close to Slea Head after losing power in a storm.

Triple Star System Paves Road to Understanding Gravity
January 7, 2014 / esfein / 1 Comment
Triple star systems could play a more important role than we first thought. http://www.bbc.co.uk/
A new study published in the scientific journal Nature documents the discovery of a very peculiar triple star system. Astronomers believe that observation and analyzation of this triple star system could potentially resolve lingering discrepancies in some of Einstein's theories concerning gravity. In fact, this particular triple star system could eventually lead to unraveling the secrets of gravity.
Related Article: Our Special Time in the Universe
This triple star system is roughly 4200 light years from Earth and is composed of a pulsar and two white dwarfs orbiting each other within a space smaller than Earth's orbit of the sun. The pulsar closely orbits a white dwarf star while a second white dwarf star orbits the pair from a distance. While a triple star system like this one has been found before, this is the first time such a strong interaction between the orbiting objects has been observed.
According to Scott Ransom of the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville, VA:
This triple star system gives us a natural cosmic laboratory far better than anything found before for learning exactly how such three-body systems work and potentially for detecting problems with general relativity that physicists expect to see under extreme conditions. This is a fascinating system in many ways, including what must have been a completely crazy formation history, and we have much work to do to fully understand it.
An easy way to imagine a stellar trio. http://www.miqel.com
Pulsars are created in the presence of a supernova. Under the intensity of a supernova, burnt out stars can collapse and turn into a dense, highly magnetized ball of neutrons. A pulsar emits radio-waves in the same way a lighthouse emits light. Pulsars can only be seen when the beam of radio waves is pointing at the Earth. While pulsars all spin at different rates, the pulsar in the study spins at an extremely rapid rate of 366 times per second. Due to its incredible rotation speed, this type of pulsar is called a millisecond pulsar. Finding this millisecond pulsar triple star system is important because
This is the first millisecond pulsar found in such a system, and we immediately recognized that it provides us with a tremendous opportunity to study both the effects and nature of gravity. The gravitational perturbations imposed on each member of this system by the others are incredibly pure and strong.
Binary and triple star systems appear all over the galaxy. Even our sun is likely part of a larger binary solar system. While the systems can vary in formation, most are formed in a very similar fashion to the triple stellar system described in the study. Two of the stars form a binary system and the third star orbits the pair at a far greater orbit. If the system isn't constructed this way it becomes unstable, leading to a star being ejected at high velocities away from the pair.

So as is usual with cosmological physics, the hardest aspect of reading any study is figuring out why we should care about the discovery of a special triple star system. The thing is, gravity is a rascal when it comes to theories of the universe. It simply doesn't fit into any modern quantum theories. The Einstein Equivalence Principle states:
The outcome of any local non-gravitational experiment in a freely falling laboratory is independent of the velocity of the laboratory and its location in spacetime.
This eventually led to the Strong Equivalence Principle, which states:
The gravitational motion of a small test body depends only on its initial position in spacetime and velocity, and not on its constitution. The outcome of any local experiment (gravitational or not) in a freely falling laboratory is independent of the velocity of the laboratory and its location in spacetime.
Gravity is stranger than you think. http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/
The equivalence principle holds true in most experiments, but in the quantum world it completely falls apart. Einstein's theory of general relativity holds true for massive celestial bodies, but the miniscule world of quantum physics is a different realm entirely.

Countless attempts have been made to create a Grand Unified Theory of physics involving a single equation that would involve all forces currently known to man. The problem is that gravity constantly throws a wrench in the spokes of every unified theory physicists come up with. Simply put, the reason this study of a unique triple star system is so important is that by observing the activity of a triple system with such pure and strong gravitational interactions, it may shine light on how gravity functions at the quantum level. This could one day lead to a single unified theory of everything. Physics would no longer be a class, just a single equation you could plug and chug information into and get answers.

New Plausible Theory of Black Holes: Gateways to Other Universes
June 15, 2013 / esfein / 1 Comment
http://www.centauri-dreams.org/
According to traditional physics, once you go far enough into a black hole, traditional physics simply ceases to be. Any meaningful equation breaks down into nonsense. Insanity. Cosmic nincompoopery! Well, not anymore…
Einstein's theory of general relativity states that if a person were to fall into a black hole they'd be shredded to the atomic level by a process called spaghettification, described as being stretched into an infinitely long strand of matter and energy by infinitely strong gravity. This infinitely strong gravity is due to a singularity at the 'end' of the black hole, an infinitely dense area with zero volume. A singularity is also used to describe the Big Bang.
There is a problem though; conventional physics cannot describe what occurs at a singularity point, so talking about the beginning of time or the core of a black hole has always been one-pointed, but pointless. Then quantum mechanics appeared.
Related Article: Life, It's All Over the Place
By using the theory of loop quantum gravity, a merger of quantum mechanics and general relativity which describes space-time as a web of indivisible chunks about 10-35 meters in size, physicists have come up with a practical way to describe what occurs at the singularity point; the singularity isn't there.
There is no singularity. Gravity still increases as you get pulled into the black hole, but eventually it decreases, and you come out the other end. Although theories have postulated this idea before, the problem was that the singularity could never be bypassed. This is incredibly revolutionary because modern day physics has always taken the idea of a singularity for granted. The universe had forever been filled with them; all of time and space began as a singularity.
Related Article: Ancient Galaxy That Shouldn't Exist is Found Perfectly Formed
You are probably wondering what this means for you and me, what relevance this all has. This opens the doors for even more science fiction to become science reality (consider: just about every piece of technology that exists today was written about as science fiction at one point).
http://www.proetcontra.com/
According to the new theory, black holes are more likely doors to other universes, or incredibly distant areas of our own universe, or both. Even more amazingly, using loop quantum gravity theory, if you were to rewind the big bang you wouldn't be left with an infinitely dense point of mass and energy, you would cross a quantum bridge into another, older universe.
Related Article: Voyager 1: The Final Frontier?
This also helps explain what happens to information that approaches a black hole. In a black hole with a singularity, the information would be lost forever as the black hole eventually evaporates after hundreds of trillions of years (give or take several hundred trillion years). As Jorge Pullin, lead researcher on the study at Louisiana State University, points out:
Information doesn't disappear, it leaks out.
The infinite universe just became infinitely more infinite.

Absolute Zero No Longer Absolute
January 24, 2013 / esfein / Leave a comment
http://www.examiner.com
Absolute zero, measured using the Kelvin scale, occurs when matter has reached the lowest possible level of entropy, when its atoms are utterly and totally 'frozen.' It is the coldest temperature anything in the universe can possibly reach, or so we thought.
Physicists at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany have done the impossible; they have created a quantum gas made up of potassium atoms that is colder than absolute zero.
http://www.accuweather.com
Using lasers and magnetic fields, the infantile toys of researchers studying the quantum realm, the physicists were able to stabilize the atoms in a lattice arrangement. While the atoms normally repel each other at positive temperatures, the researchers decided to have some fun and abruptly alter the magnetic fields, causing all of the atoms to instantly attract. Ulrich Schneider, part of the team of physicists, explains that
This suddenly shifts the atoms from their most stable, lowest-energy state to the highest possible energy state, before they can react. It's like walking through a valley, then instantly finding yourself on the mountain peak.
Whoa. In the quantum world, anything goes.
Now, at a positive temperature, attraction between all of the atoms would cause the gas to become unstable and collapse in on itself, ultimately producing contempt and self loathing in already sensitive quantum physicists Luckily, as usual for physicists, they protected the delicate balance of their emotions with trapping lasers, which were used to hold the atoms in place. Boom! The result is:
The gas's transition from just above absolute zero to a few billionths of a Kelvin below absolute zero.
Working with negative temperatures opens up all new realms of possibilities in the laboratory. Wolfgang Ketterle, a man with a better name than you, as well as a physicist and Nobel laureate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, reveals to us the profundity of this feat. He says that doing quantum experimentation while working with negative temperatures is like experimenting in an environment where:
you can stand a pyramid on its head and not worry about it toppling over. This may be a way to create new forms of matter in the laboratory.
By far, the weirdest part about the negative temperature gas is that it behaves identically to dark energy, the force that pushes the Universe to expand at an exponential rate despite the ever persistent pull of gravity. The atoms in the gas also seem to want to collapse inward, but the negative temperature holds them in place. Schneider remarks that:
It's interesting that this weird feature pops up in the Universe and also in the lab. This may be something that cosmologists should look at more closely.
Researchers believe negative temperatures will give rise to the creation of matter with anti-gravitational properties, rising, despite gravity throwing a temper tantrum over wanting it to fall. For all you Egyptian pyramid conspiracy theorists out there, here's some extra fodder for the anti-gravity theories. The Egyptians must have created negative kelvin temperatures first!

Long Distance Quantum Teleportation is Reality
September 13, 2012 / esfein / 2 Comments
Researchers in multiple locations around the globe have successfully teleported photons across distances greater than 100km. We aren't ready to beam people up to the moon for a gravity-free lunar getaway just yet, but these recent breakthroughs are a monumental step in the right direction.
Just weeks after researchers in China quantumly teleported photons a distance of 100km, researchers from the University of Waterloo completed a similar teleportation near the Canary Islands over a distance of 143 km.
The technique used isn't teleportation in the traditional Star Trek sense, it is an implementation of quantum entaglement. The photon being teleported isn't moved anywhere. Essentially, its information is copied perfectly and instantaneously to another photon at an intended destination. Quantum entanglement allows us to send and receive information without any error or delay whatsoever.
Using a new laser technology that ensures the laser beam remains focused and does not disperse, scientists are paving the way for a global quantum network, the next evolutionary step of the internet. A quantum network "could form the backbone of an internet populated by quantum computers. In theory, each quantum processor/computer connected to the quantum network could be instantly linked to every other computer via an entangled pair of photons."
Quantum teleportation also redefines privacy. Because it is impossible to view an entangled particle, information that is entangled would be protected and guaranteed to be 100% secure. Quantum cryptography will replace password protection in the future.
In lieu of recent breakthroughs, Kirk's classic catchphrase may need to be changed; "Entangle me up Scottie!"
Life, It's All Over The Place
UFOs, aliens, de-materialization, anti-gravity, velocities beyond that of light; it's all incredibly fascinating as well as being some fantastic enigmas. I've just finished watching a movie on Google Videos entitled UFO: The Greatest Story Ever Denied. It documents a myriad of possible evidence, physical and spoken, that sheds some light on the existence of extra-terrestrial life, as well as the knowledge the human race currently and historically has had of life beyond our little planet. The presenters in the video are not Joe the farmer by the way. They hold such titles as brigadier general, former chief executive of NSC, astrophysicist, varying classes of military, including black ops, and more.
I think it's a bit naive and downright ignorant to think that out of all the infinite space that the cosmos entails, Earth is the only planet that harbors intelligent, let alone minimally complex life. The very thought that life would be so rare is ignorant in and of itself. Life is found everywhere on this planet, even places where, by definition, it shouldn't exist.
Did you know there are tiny organisms living in sulfuric acid within most limestone caves inside of the Earth? They even consume iron, and use the element as a building block for its cellular protein! How weird is that?? Very weird, which is exactly the point. Just because it's difficult to imagine a life form that doesn't breathe oxygen and isn't bound by the traditional hierarchical consumption of sunlight (the food chain) does not rule out its existence. Some life forms even redefine what we think of as normal geometry in life.
And check this: scientists have speculated that it is not out of the realm of possibility that Venus, a planet once thought of as inhospitable for life could in fact be teeming with it!
All it takes is a bit of imagination and observation, and suddenly the universe seems far less lonely, and a whole lot more active!

WRITERS DO not merely reflect and interpret life, they also inform and shape mass perspective.
A number of life-changing events have recently taken place in Britain: the Brexit vote, the Westminster, Manchester and London Bridge terror attacks and the election.
In a recent article, renowned writer Ben Okri MBE made an interesting comparison between Shakespeare's Iago, the antagonist in Othello and recent concerns in an era that is preoccupied with misinformation.
Iago is a contemptuous character, who brings about the misery and ultimately, the downfall of others through falsified 'facts' and propaganda.
Okri wrote:
"We are living in Iago's paradise. Fake news and alternative facts are not the invention of Trump et al. Shakespeare's Othello gave us the original fake news and alternative facts."
READY: A young Ben Okri in journalist mode
One of the problems with the 'fake news' phenomenon is that it undermines the integrity of many legitimate writers and thinkers. It overrules measured, healthy scepticism and instead works to create a resounding air of mistrust and uncertainty. What is real and what isn't? And, moreover, what is the responsibility of the writer, in a time such as this?
Okri added:
"I think the thing for writers to do – the same for every citizen, really – is to ask the big questions. What kind of world do we want to create? How do we want to relate to one another? What does this mean in our dealings with the world, our history and one another?
"I think the writer's responsibility is to certainly draw attention to all of the truths. Brexit, for instance, is just one. Less than the truth, slightly more than half of a truth and even that truth itself is confused.
"The referendum was not really a nuanced reading of the mood of the nation, by any means. It was very crude. But crudeness sometimes bends history and it is therefore the job of the writer to always question crudeness, to always show the shades in between black and white. To show that things are nuanced and complex and not at all simple. That things have great consequences, way beyond our lifetime."
ALLIES: Ben Okri, left, and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn (right) sat down to discuss politics last year
According to Okri, writers must be revolutionary and courageous in their honesty, at this time.
"Not an 'I told you so courage'," he adds, "but 'these are consequences looming, let's adjust our driver's seat and our historical future sat-nav, please'."
The cynics among us might believe that coming together to 'ask the big questions', this concept of mass unification is utopian – arguing that, if it were tangible, it might have happened already.
Okri, however, disagrees:
"I think we have also developed a curious fear of Utopia – we believe more in dystopia. All a Utopia is, in its literary and living sense, is that every human being has in themselves a dream of a better life, a life that respects them, honours them. Everyone has, and is entitled to, that dream.
"If we don't have some kind of a sense of a personal or public utopia then we have no idea of where we're going.
RECOGNITION: Ben Okri delivering his acceptance speech after winning the Turner Prize in 2016
"The danger of falling too much in love with dystopia is that we just simply give more power to the negative vision and we don't consciously and creatively try and shape the world that we would like. We are not saying that the world can be perfect, but if you don't have an image of where you would like the world to go, then you're not going anywhere, you're not doing anything. You have to have an idea, even if its an impossible one. That's how progress is made. Almost everything we want in this world is hinged on a Utopia, in a way."
Okri is no stranger to political dialogue.
His exposure to the Nigerian Civil war in the late '60s went on to greatly inform his writing. Just last year, he sat down with Jeremy Corbyn in Southbank, to discuss world affairs, the potential for positive change and his poem A New Dream of Politics. Okri told The Guardian that the Labour leader might yet reach the vision of politics he discusses in his poem. He said:
"It depends on how he comes through this political period in which we find ourselves and whether his party is prepared to let this spirit be possible. But at least, surely, there will be change."
As the General Election takes place and the country makes its decision, Okri is adamant that "the left needs a new story to enchant the age and open up the future", in order to win the hearts, minds and trust of the people. By this, he means a powerful narrative; the opposite to the right's rhetoric of 'they're taking away our jobs'.
Popular opinion dictates that politics is about winning votes and populism. Okri argues that, while it is excellent to have great policies and the best intentions, politics is also about crafting and embodying a story that people instinctively hear, read and interpret. He explains:
"All you have to do is look at the last 50 years and how a certain kind of crafted story has taken over the centre stage and, shifted, in one way or another, for good or for ill, the politics of our times.
"The left has, for some time now I feel, been good on the details of policies but the more powerful arc of the story has been missing. I think that this needs to be given very great attention.
"People respond to policies, but they move with the arc of a story. The other side had a story of independence, it was old in the history of human beings. It was a fake story, an untrue story – but there was a story. We have lost the power of stories on the left and it must be regained."
It would appear that this principle is by no means confined to Britain. In fact, this is a matter of human interest.
"If you look at the last couple of key elections in the US – from Clinton, Obama, Trump – you get a sense, each time, of a certain kind of story that has been elaborated for people. When the stories are powerful enough, they work a kind of enchantment. There is something in human beings that hungers for the deep poetry of life and the deep story of meaning."
Since his novel The Famished Road won The Booker Prize for Fiction in 1991, Okri has secured his place as an internationally acclaimed writer and continued to release notable works including Starbook, Away of Being Free and A Time for New Dreams. He has published 10 novels, three books of short stories, two collections of essays and three volumes of poems, the latest being Wild.
What's more, Okri has recently made his debut as scriptwriter for independent film N – The Madness of Reason, which made a regional premiere at the University of Sheffield's Festival of Arts and Humanities earlier this month. Of this particular writing experience, he said:
"I had to do that – sculpt words around his imagery. It was a very, very, very fascinating process and it showed something of the intrinsic power of words to resonate meaning. A great challenge – like sculpting with air, in a way."

YOUR TUTORS
Paul Sanders and Margaret Soraya both work in an intuitive manner and believe that photography is about how you respond to the landscape. They are both passionate about helping others develop their own landscape photography, bringing out their own unique voice.
PAUL SANDERS
Paul believes strongly that being present within the landscape and the connection you have with nature is the most important part of landscape photography.
"I love being outside, surrounded by the beauty of the world we live in. It never ceases to amaze me, as I watch the storm clouds blow in over the coast, listen to the waves crashing on the rocky shore or watch sunlight stream through trees on a foggy morning, how blessed we are to have such beauty on our doorsteps."
Paul is a Fuji X Pro ambassador and former picture editor of The Times. Much of his landscape work involves long exposures and he is inspired by artists such as Turner, Monet and Mark Rothko.
MARGARET SORAYA
Margaret specialises in photographing some of Scotland's most remote and wild places and has photographed landscapes for 23 years.
She lives on the shores of Loch Ness and has spent years capturing the loch and surrounding countryside. Margaret is fascinated by the connection between wellness and being in nature, studying how nature heals, closeness in water is beneficial and how solitude in the outdoors can be revitalising for introverts.
Commissions have included travel to Iceland, Croatia, Italy and Boston. Her work has been published in National Geographic Traveller, Outdoor Photography Magazine, Rough Guides and regularly features in Scottish broadsheets.

Spam check: What is sum of 6 + 1?


When I was about eight or nine I was bitten by a spider. The only part I remember was waking up in a hospital bed with wires attached to me, my mom sitting next to me in a chair.
I look over and her eyes catches mine. "What happened?" I ask, my voice cracks as my throat is dry.
"The doctor says you were bit by a spider," she replies with a tired look.
I don't remember anything else of that day, nor what type of spider it was, but I do know that it had given me a fear of them. As the years had progressed I have curiously read about spiders and have come to respect them. Well, mostly. A spider indoors becomes a dead one, but a spider outside is well left alone.
A few weeks ago I've noticed a web building spider, the size of a nickel, right outside the door as I gone to get the morning paper. I curiously stopped to look at her. The size of her web was ghastly in size, reaching from the porch, to our wheelchair ramp; so about three and a half feet in diameter. It glistened in the sunlight as the breeze moved it ever so gently. She was sitting in the center of the web, her legs pulled tightly into her, as if she's sleeping. She isn't a widow or a spider I could identify right away. I was mesmerized though.
I would greet her every morning as I passed by her, as if we were old friends, even though it's a one way conversation. When I returned from class she would be gone, along with her beautiful web. The other day I happened to catch her as she was moving to her hiding spot. She wasn't the size of a nickel as I thought, but bigger than the size of a quarter.
Yesterday, I went outside to get the morning paper and I noticed Miss Spider wasn't anywhere to be seen. I looked all around the porch area for her, curious where she might have gone. This morning, again, she wasn't there. I asked my grandmother if she had seen the big spider outside or if she killed it. She laughed at me and said no. She knows I have a fear of spiders, hence the reason why she laughed at me.
The only reason why I don't kill spiders while they're outside is that they have a part in the cycle of life. They kill bugs, especially mosquitos. Mosquitos carry diseases. And Miss Spider had set her web in a perfect spot, right near our door to our house. So I welcome her to catch every little bug that comes this way. Hopefully she's still around.

I have the same philosophy you do: indoors, they meet an untimely death depending on their size; outside I leave them alone. I do love to see spiders' webs. Imagine all that work they do overnight and then we go and walk right through it every morning. They must really hate us.
Yes, they must hate us. We have a wheelchair ramp, so you can imagine how many spider have built webs here and there. I walk through countless webs every morning on my way to pick up the morning paper.

A quiet NBA Draft could set up a wild summer
LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George remain the biggest dominoes. The activity around Thursday's NBA Draft didn't alter the landscape one bit.
By John Schuhmann
Paul George and LeBron James (Getty Images) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/NBA_Global_CMS_image_storage/0/63/lebron-george-062318-ftr-gettyjpg_18ywoy0am5kvz1g4swnb42vczn.jpg?t=750118788&w=500
BROOKLYN - The pick swap between the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks - sending Luka Doncic to Dallas - will be one we'll talk about for a long time. Other first round picks (much to the chagrin of the Bridges family of Philadelphia) exchanged hands in deals at the 2018 NBA Draft. But in regard to players already under contract, it was a quiet night.
A year ago, we saw the Minnesota Timberwolves trade for Jimmy Butler and the Brooklyn Nets trade for D'Angelo Russell on Draft night, with Dwight Howard going from the Atlanta Hawks to the Charlotte Hornets two days prior. Two years ago, Draft night included the trade that sent Victor Oladipo from the Orlando Magic to the Oklahoma City Thunder, with Derrick Rose going from the Chicago Bulls to the New York Knicks the day before.
Three years ago, it was Nicolas Batum to Charlotte. Four years ago, Evan Fournier was sent from the Denver Nuggets to the Magic. And of course, in 2013, it was on Draft night that we learned of the Celtics-Nets trade that would (officially go through in early July and) set Boston up for the future with a bevy of Brooklyn picks.
This year, we had the Nets and Hornets agree to a deal on Wednesday. But that deal was more about the salaries of Howard and Timofey Mozgov than what those guys do on the floor. Charlotte wanted to duck the luxury tax next season, while Brooklyn wanted to shed the extra year in Mozgov's contract. In fact, the Nets are reportedly set to waive Howard after the trade goes through after the July moratorium.
On Thursday? Nothing. There wasn't a single deal consummated (or even reported) that involved a player already under contract. No salary dumps. No proven commodities for promise and potential. No bad contract and a good pick for a slightly better contract and a slightly worse pick. The Hawks and Mavs reportedly discussed adding Kent Bazemore and Wesley Matthews to the deal involving the third and fifth picks, but Dallas apparently didn't like the extra year on Bazemore's deal.
This is set up to be a wild summer. LeBron James can opt out of his contract and become a free agent. Paul George can leave Oklahoma City if he chooses. And Kawhi Leonard reportedly wants out of San Antonio.
It's a huge summer in L.A., where the Lakers have tons of cap space and assets to pursue players that aren't free agents (like Leonard, obviously). It's a huge summer in Philadelphia, the Sixers' last chance to spend big money on free agents to complement their young stars. And it could be a big summer in Boston, where the Celtics can stand pat with a roster favored to win the Eastern Conference next year or swing for the fences by trading one of their young stars for a top-five player (like Leonard, obviously).
There are some good (but not great) teams that would love to shake things up (see Wizards, Washington) and there are still some contracts that teams would love to shed (see Schroder, Dennis). Both objectives are easier said than done these days, but if Mozgov's contract can be traded twice in 12 months, anything can happen.
There are some intriguing free agents beyond James and George. Will DeMarcus Cousins and Isaiah Thomas get the money they're looking for, despite their injuries? Eventually, Howard will find his seventh team in the last seven years.
But we'll have to wait. Players with contract options for next season have a week to decide on what they're doing. James will make his decision on his time and the Spurs aren't going to rush into a Leonard deal. If they do trade him, they control where he goes and when he goes there. That could be before or after the big free agents make their decisions. Will a Leonard trade affect the decisions of James and George or vice versa?
We could see some activity between now and July 1, when teams can start talking to free agents. Trades will be discussed and options will be exercised or declined.
But James, Leonard and George remain the biggest dominoes. And the activity around Thursday's Draft didn't alter the landscape one bit.
