10 ancient Greek writers you should know

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 15:47:12 GMT

clipped by: Aribeth
clipper's remarks: Archimedes was a mathematician, engineer, inventor, physicist and astronomer. He is known for the invention of The Archimedes’ Screw, a mechanism for moving water that is still in use today. He also calculated the value of pi very precisely. Archimedes discovered how to define the volume of irregular objects by submerging them in water. According to legend, this discovery made him run out on the street naked (he was so excited that he forgot to get dressed) and cry “Eureka!” – I have found it.

The Relative Size of Things

Back in the 70s or 80s, IBM made a video called The Power of 10, which showed the relative size of things from the universe to the cell and the effect of adding a zero. In other words going from 1 meter to 10 meters to 100 meters and so on.

Now in the age of nanotechnology, and manipulating materials on the molecular scale, it's nice to see an interactive that shows the relative size of the small things. We're talking everything from coffee beans to carbon atoms. With viruses, bacteria, red blood cells and a host of other structures in between.

Cell Size and Scale is made possible by the Genetics Science Learning Center at the University of Utah. It's so great. Go ahead and interact.

Healthcare Provision Seeks To Embrace Prayer Treatments

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:49:49 GMT

clipped by: wiccantexan

Clip Source: www.latimes.com

Backed by some of the most powerful members of the Senate, a little-noticed provision in the healthcare overhaul bill would require insurers to consider covering Christian Science prayer treatments as medical expenses.

The provision was inserted by Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) with the support of Democratic Sens. John F. Kerry and the late Edward M. Kennedy, both of Massachusetts, home to the headquarters of the Church of Christ, Scientist.

The measure would put Christian Science prayer treatments -- which substitute for or supplement medical treatments -- on the same footing as clinical medicine. While not mentioning the church by name, it would prohibit discrimination against "religious and spiritual healthcare."

But critics say the measure could have a broader effect, conferring new status and medical legitimacy on practices that lie outside the realm of science.

African Muslim with 'violent genes' gets sentence cut

clipper's remarks: *wtf*......

Clip Source: www.nature.com

An Italian court has cut the sentence given to a convicted murderer by a year because he has genes linked to violent behaviour — the first time that behavioural genetics has affected a sentence passed by a European court. But researchers contacted by Nature have questioned whether the decision was based on sound science.

A court in Italy has cut a prisoner's jail term because he has genes associated with aggressive behaviour.Ingram Publishing

Abdelmalek Bayout, an Algerian citizen who has lived in Italy since 1993, admitted in 2007 to stabbing and killing Walter Felipe Novoa Perez on 10 March. Perez, a Colombian living in Italy, had, according to Bayout's testimony, insulted him over the kohl eye make-up the Algerian was wearing. Bayout, a Muslim, claims he wore the make-up for religious reasons.

“There's increasing evidence that some genes together with a particular environmental insult may predispose people to certain behaviour.”

Not an email hoax: The Uno - Ben Gulak's Innovative Electric Motorbike

Email forward describes the Uno, an innovative electric motorcycle invented by Canadian Ben Gulak that moves on two wheels positioned side by side and is controlled by body movement

Status:
True

Example:(Submitted, October 2009)

Subject: world first

A young inventor has created a motorbike with a twist - it uses two wheels but they are positioned right next to each other, giving it the illusion of being a powered unicycle. And even better, it might help save the planet.

Commentary:

Although some commentators have postulated that the message is a hoax and the attached photographs are clever fakes, the Uno is in fact real. A December 2008 New York Times article notes:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology has also published information about Ben Gulak and the Uno, noting:

inspiration for the cycle came when Gulak visited China in 2006

He realized that much of that smog was coming from the thousands of motor scooters whizzing through the streets and figured that there had to be a better way

WASHINGTON - The story of humankind is reaching back another million years with the discovery of “Ardi,” a hominid who lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia.

The 110-pound, 4-foot female roamed forests a million years before the famous Lucy, long studied as the earliest skeleton of a human ancestor.

This older skeleton reverses the common wisdom of human evolution, said anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University.

World’s oldest human-linked skeleton found

‘Ardi’ predates Lucy by a million years, changes scientific view of origins

By Randolph E. Schmid

updated 7:23 p.m. ET, Thurs., Oct . 1, 2009

WASHINGTON - The story of humankind is reaching back another million years with the discovery of “Ardi,” a hominid who lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia.

The 110-pound, 4-foot female roamed forests a million years before the famous Lucy, long studied as the earliest skeleton of a human ancestor.

This older skeleton reverses the common wisdom of human evolution, said anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University.

Rather than humans evolving from an ancient chimplike creature, the new find provides evidence that chimps and humans evolved from some long-ago common ancestor — but each evolved and changed separately along the way.

D'Souza's Normal BS

clipped by: AtlLiberal
clipper's remarks: Dinesh D'Souza, widely known for his hopelessly weak proslytizing on the World Net Daily site is seen in this clip interacting with that expert on science and medicine, Greta Van Susteren! They fit well together. Another good reason to avoid the Fox Noise Channel. The interesting thing is that the more we hear from D'Souza the more bizarre he becomes. He does appeal to the Ultra Right though.

Clip Source: www.foxnews.com

Proof of 'Life After Death'

VAN SUSTEREN: And I love the words "The Evidence," which is another word for proof. Is there life after death?

D'SOUZA: I think there is. And I've always believed on the basis of faith, but in this book I set that aside and I say let's look at empirical evidence, let's look at historical, philosophical, scientific evidence, and that is the good line, that when you look at modern science, at modern philosophy, there is surprising proof that there is life after death.

VAN SUSTEREN: Like what?

D'SOUZA: Shakespeare called death "the undiscovered country," and it's true that you can't go to the other side of the curtain. I do not claim to have interviewed dead people or any of that.

There are near-death experiences, and that is thousands of people who have been very close to death, they have been declared clinically dead or in some cases no brain function, and they report all over the world a surprisingly uniform experience.

Drug adviser rolled over cannabis claims

clipper's remarks: Politically incorrect, but really closer to the truth than the Govt is willing to admit. I am less well for my long involvement with alcohol than I would be had I chosen maryjane.

Clip Source: www.abc.net.au

A row has broken out in Britain, after the chief drugs adviser to the government was sacked when he said alcohol and cigarettes were more dangerous than cannabis.

Other scientists on the drugs advisory council have resigned in protest, complaining the government is ignoring science in favour of popular myths.

When Professor David Nutt made his statements on marijuana, he thought he was simply telling the truth.

He said the drug was reclassified from class C to the more dangerous category B against scientific evidence, simply on the whim of Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

The reaction from the government was swift and unforgiving. Home Secretary Alan Johnson sacked him by email.

"You cannot have a chief adviser at the same time stepping into the political field and campaigning against government decisions,"

But Professor Nutt is not going quietly. He insists his views are supported by science and experts in the field, while the government is guided by populist misinformation.
