World's most sensitive neutrino experiment begin
An intrepid subatomic particle has travelled through the bedrock of Japan and triggered a detector on the other side of the country, heralding a new attempt to probe the mystery of neutrino oscillations. The result could take us closer to answering one very big question – why is the universe full of matter?
In the "T2K" (Tokai-to-Kamioka) experiment, an intense beam of neutrinos is being generated in a particle accelerator near Tokai village north of Tokyo, and aimed at the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector 300 kilometres away. Neutrinos interact only reluctantly with matter, but from time to time one of the trillions in the beam will be lucky enough to hit an atomic nucleus inside Super-Kamiokande, and so create a distinctive flash of light.
"It's thought that in the Big Bang that created the universe, matter andanti-matter were created in equal amounts, but it's clear thateverything we observe today is only consisting of matter, so thequestion is where has the anti-matter gone?"

Does anyone still believe in 'global warming'? - The $10 Trillion Climate Fraud
Lost in the recent headlines was Al Gore's appearance in Denver at the annual meeting of the Council of Foundations, an association of the nation's philanthropic leaders. "Time's running out (on climate change)," Gore told them. "We have to get our act together. You have a unique role in getting our act together." Gore was right that foundations will play a key role in keeping the climate scam alive as evidence of outright climate fraud grows....
Gore was right that foundations will play a key role in keeping the climate scam alive as evidence of outright climate fraud grows, just as they were critical in the beginning when the Joyce Foundation in 2000 and 2001 provided the seed money to start the Chicago Climate Exchange. It started trading in 2003, and what it trades is, essentially, air. More specifically perhaps, hot air.

Fantastic Mad Creatures By Robert Steven Connett - interview +gallery
Robert Steven Connett is a Los Angeles based artist who celebrates dreamsequences, as he describes, “I often think that dreams may be thegateway to another world.
Perhaps a parallel world just as important asthe waking world we call ‘reality?’ ” Robert is an introspective artistwho offers a sincere look into life’s circumstance while creating anequidistant world made up of micro organisms, fear and beauty. Robert isa tireless painter who offers, “My most recent paintings express myinterest in what I call the "UNDERWORLD".
I’m fascinated by the worlds that exist beyond our immediate field ofvision and have an abiding interest in the flora and fauna that occupythe space within these tiny worlds. The kind of things that one musthunt for in the grass, in the pools of water or with a microscope.”

The World's First Commercial Brain-Computer Interface
A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a direct neuralinterface or a brain–machine interface, is a direct communicationpathway between a brain and an external device.
BCIs are often aimed atassisting, augmenting or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motorfunctions. Research on BCIs began in the 1970s at the University ofCalifornia Los Angeles (UCLA) under a grant from the National ScienceFoundation, followed by a contract from DARPA. The papers publishedafter this research also mark the first appearance of the expressionbrain–computer interface in scientific literature. The field of BCI has since blossomed spectacularly, mostly towardneuroprosthetics applications that aim at restoring damaged hearing,sight and movement. Thanks to the remarkable cortical plasticity of thebrain, signals from implanted prostheses can, after adaptation, behandled by the brain like natural sensor or effector channels. Followingyears of animal experimentation, the first neuroprosthetic devicesimplanted in humans appeared in the mid-nineties.

Punk explosion against cenzorship in Indonesia + film -punk in loveindonesia
Long after the Punk movement petered out or became commercialized elsewhere, it took hold for the first time in Jakarta in the mid-1990s — at a time when the music's belligerence seemed to perfectly echo the hostility many young people felt toward the authoritarian regime of then President Suharto.
The youth were attracted to the freedom and rebellion that punk offered. Today power of the Internet widely spreading Punk to every region in Indonesia.
As molecules rotate and vibrate, they emit radio waves at specific frequencies. Each molecule has a unique pattern of such frequencies, called spectral lines, that constitutes a "fingerprint" identifying that molecule. Laboratory tests can determine the pattern of spectral lines that identifies a specific molecule.
