<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>A Polish entrepreneur Zdzisław Hoffmann has created a Rage Room where people can break anything to release stress. Just come here, pay 35 euros and you are given a weapon of your choice to break anything in the room for the next 30 minutes.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Rage room – admit it, you need this in your life more than anything. The ever increasing pressure of work, and its imbalance with your personal life, demands a secret place where you can vent all the anger.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Along the similar lines, in the Lodz town of Poland, a new “Rage Room” has opened, where you can pay to break household gadgets and items like computer monitors, TV sets, glass cups and more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">All you have to do is pay 35 euros- and you can spend half an hour in the rage room with your choice of weapon. What do you like- Baseball bat? Crow bar? – worry not, they’ve got it all covered.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">All the items that you’ll be breaking here are obtained from the free online recycling websites. Entrepreneur Zdzisław Hoffmann is the owner of this rage room. “It is perfect for everyone. I would say it is better for calm people who just want to come here, get wild and destroy something, what is usually forbidden,” he says.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hoffmann tells that he came across this business idea by accident and he was always fascinated how people can throw their TV out of the window from 11th floor after a lost soccer match.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Inside the room, customers need to wear a helmet and they are all set to smash TV sets, mirrors, glass and whatnot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>In a bizarre incident, Facebook users are reportedly seeing increasing friend suggestions of the people they have dated before through Tinder.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the 21st century, striving for privacy is a mind-numbing struggle. As much as SPR along with several international privacy and security-concerned platforms has stressed on the topic, there is still a huge chunk of unaware users who have no idea of what’s going on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, as is the latest case against the social media’s intrusion in peoples’ lives, incidents have been reported that Facebook users are getting the friend suggestions of people that they have dated previously and share nothing in common but a Tinder match. One thing to be noted is that everyone has shared their phone number on the profile. Similar instances have been noted in LinkedIn as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Daniel Cuthbert, COO at a security research company SensePost explains, “What Facebook does and what Tinder does is go through your phone book, upload your phone book and does cross-correlation between your numbers and anyone else’s number – and suggest people based on that”.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Google, Facebook and other apps are always monitoring us. They keep tabs on what we are up to, know our schedule and who are the people that we like and who we don’t. Now, they don’t interrogate their users directly but carefully screen the details that are given on the social media and other forums.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, don’t freak out now. You give permission to Facebook and other media and dating apps to go through your phone and make changes in it while installing them (read the agreement license next time you install such kind of apps).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, this could either be a simple permutation case of fabled six-degree separation, or it could be a matter of serious concern. For more information on the story, check BBC.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Most of us, in fact, all of us have dreamt about owning a flying car at one point of time (not everyone can buy a private jet or chopper, right?) and fly high. Up above the world, soaring in the sky, far from the blaring horns and infuriating traffic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, more futuristic than ‘of the future’ ( as some are in the prototype stages), the flying car is everyone’s fantasy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, if you have the money and are willing to shell it on these contraptions, then go ahead my friend, not everyone is as lucky as you. But, which one of the flying machines should you go for- The Beauty or The Beast? Take a look at these badass flying cars and pick your future ride.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="PAL-V One Flying-car" height="413" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/PAL-V-One-Flying-car.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Is this a scooter or a chopper? PAL-V One will confuse you by its design, but once you are in the air, well, who cares! The Personal Air and Land Vehicle takes just about 10 minutes to convert from a road bike to an air carrier and can take you to 4,000 feet height.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The PAL-V One has a max speed of 112 mph. It can run 750 miles from its gasoline engine and fly for about 315 miles. For the environmentalists, PAL-V One also comes in biodiesel as well. And you would only need a Sports Pilot license to fly this machine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is only available in the US though.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hoverbikes are a new craze. Even the US military wants hoverbikes for its soldiers. Coming in the markets in 2017, this air vehicle would be a trophy for the Star-War frenzy. Aero-X is more of a private arena flying craft that has a lift of about 12 feet and tops at 45 mph.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, if you just wanna have fun and not considering serious locomotion, then Aero-X could be a good option. It costs around $85,000.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The classiest of them all, Aeromobil 3.0 is the flying car to look for in the future. The car that looks like a hybrid between the Jetfire and Bumblebee, AeroMobil 3.0 would be in your garage by 2017, as promised by AeroMobil.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It also comes with an autopilot, in case you wish to sleep mid-air. It can travel up to 310 miles with a maximum speed of 100 mph. Its price has not yet been announced.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">GF7 is like a jet running on the road or a Veyron in the air. This beast of a sports-jet hybrid flying car speeds up to 550 mph in the air on jet engine and converts to a humble zero emission EV when running on streets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">GF7 is still in design mode and is expected to cost somewhere around $3-5 million. Watch out for this one in particular.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Aptly named as Transition by its Massachusetts-based manufacturers Terrafugia, this flying car will definitely bring about a transition in human life.

How Many Ordinary Laser Pointers Will Kill A Human Being?

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>How many ordinary laser pointers will kill a human being? Well, we are not planning to do such evil thing, but here is the answer if you would like to know.</i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Do you remember the evil Death Star killer machine from the movie Star Wars? Its laser beam was so powerful that it would destroy an entire planet in seconds. Well, lasers are dangerous- we are given this advice right from the early age. They shouldn’t be shone in the eyes as it could harm our vision.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But, what if someone decides to make a smaller version of Death Star and creates a deadly weapon? How many ordinary laser pointers will be needed to make this weapon?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, before we start looking for the answers, let’s recall our high school knowledge about lasers. The word laser stands for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.” It’s a single and focused beam of light that spits large amounts of energy on a single point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The cheap laser pointer available in the marker cost less than $2 and come with a power rating of 5-milliwatt. But, it surely is not powerful enough to kill anyone. To do this, you’ll need to combine many laser pointers and use their energy in one direction.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">James Kakalios, a physics professor at the University of Minnesota and the author of The Physics of Superheroes says that making a death ray from lasers is very tough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To kill a person, the easiest way would be to target the eye and ultimately melt the brain (excuse me if it’s too graphic).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, to kill a person by focusing a mighty laser into someone’s eyes, how big and powerful laser pointer do you need?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Rebecca Thompson of the America Physical Society, who holds a Ph.D. in physics, has done some calculations and came to a conclusion. So, here’s her answer:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For a laser to kill someone it essentially needs to be hot enough to boil or burn the tissue. It would take about a 1kW laser to boil through someone’s eye to their brain in a reasonable amount of time, meaning they probably couldn’t get away. Each cat toy level laser pointer is roughly 5mW. It would take 200,000 laser pointers all focusing through a lens to an exact point to create a laser powerful enough to kill. Each laser pointer (assuming the ones from laser pens since the pen tip is smaller than the cat toy laser) is 5mm across. So if you had 200,000 of them they would be in a grid about 7’ x7’. To get them to focus on a single spot, though, they would need to be in a semi-circle with a radius of about 5.5’. So if you wanted to create a death ray with laser pointers, you could buy 200,000 laser pointers, mount them on a piece of a sphere with radius 5.5’, aim them all through a lens and ask your victim to sit very, very still.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, don’t try this at home or school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Do you remember the time when Google was showing Indian Prime Minister’s picture in top 10 criminal’s list? Well, Google has done another blunder and once again it’s related to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If I ask our Indian readers about their first prime minister, I’ll get the answer Jawaharlal Nehru unanimously. But, Google thinks somewhat different.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Maybe the internet is too much crowded with the “Har ghar Modi, ghar ghar Modi” slogans and Google is confusing him as the first prime minister of India.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If you Google “India’s first prime minister”, you’ll be getting the following result with a picture of the current prime minister Narendra Modi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, I thought that this could be due to some website’s erroneous metadata, so I sniffed the web page’s source code and I found that the image shown was being served from the Wikipedia page of the List of Prime Minister’s of India. At the very top of this Wikipedia page, there’s an image of PM Modi, which is being served at the first prime minister result page.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Digging deeper, I found that the alternative text for image (one of the many ways Google recognises and serves images) is set as “Image result for India’s first prime minister.” Being an image hosted on Wikipedia, this result was prioritised and is being shown on the result page.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>SP's: </b>Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has come up with a new computer algorithm called Tumor Trace, that can detect several kinds and location of cancer in just 2 days with 85% accuracy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Cancer- the dreadful disease that has plagued the world today. However, if detected at an early stage, can still be treated. Hence, time plays a crucial factor in the treatment of cancer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The good news is that researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have come up with a new computer algorithm called Tumor Trace, that can detect several kinds and location of cancer. And the best part? Well, in just 2 days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So why did the need of such an algorithm at all arise?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At present, though doctors can diagnose the type and site of cancer, yet it remains undetected in 1 out of 20 cases. This is known as cancer of unknown primary (CUP). That’s really tragic is that people suffering from CUP have to go through a lot of tests and are ultimately given a are given a cocktail of chemotherapy drugs, which often fails to reach and work upon the target area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1,658,370 new cancer cases were registered in U.S in the year 2015 and there are approximately 30,000 CUP cancer cases every year. Such shocking statistics, demand for a more efficient method of diagnosing cancer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="cancer cure method" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cancer-cure-method.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, how does Tumor Trace work?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is a self-learning computer algorithm,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It compares thousands of samples to diagnose the cancer infected area correctly</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The program is then able to assess a biopsy and, thereby, providing  a number of scenarios for where cancer may have developed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It then indicates the probability of those scenarios.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Accuracy was tested on 1,669 public tumors of certain types</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This including a set of 24 specimens from nine lung cancer patients and a cohort of 91 breast metastases</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Accuracy was found out to be around 85%</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Researchers are optimistic about further improvements in this cancer detecting method which promises of detecting the free cancer cell source in a blood sample. Detection of cancer at an early stage not only increases the chances of full recovery, but also ensures less of physical and mental trauma for the patient.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Could this be one step closer to curing cancer? What are your opinions?  Tell us in the comments below.</span></div>

How an Engineer Built His Own Thor’s Hammer That Only He Can Lift

Shivam Patsariya 0 Creative, Reviews, Science 12:25 PM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><img height="340" loading="lazy" src="http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m72756aRIH1rsy50k.gif" width="640" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>An electrical engineer has utilised his great DIY skills to device his very own version of Thor’s hammer. Read ahead to know how he made it and watch the video.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you remember that scene from the latest Avengers: Age of Ultron where all superheroes are trying to lift Thor’s hammer? You must be aware of the fact that the Thor’s hammer, also known as Mjolnir, can only be lifted by the ones worthy of its power. As a result, everybody gives a try and fails.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Later, Tony Stark offers a witty explanation that the handle of the hammer is imprinted with Thor’s fingerprints. Along the similar lines, did you ever imagine the possibility of Thor’s hammer in real life?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, an electrical engineer Allen Pan has decided to replicate Thor’s hammer to make his very own Mjolnir. He runs a popular YouTube channel Sufficiently Advanced on YouTube.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To make his hammer immovable, he made use of strong magnets. Inside the head of his Thor’s hammer, he housed a microwave oven transformer electromagent. This uses electricity to create a very strong magnetic field, so strong that when placed on a metal surface, the hammer is too heavy to lift.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="thor-hammer-2" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/thor-hammer-2.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the handle, there is a capacitive touch sensor that is connected to an Arduino Pro Mini and a solid state relay. These components act as a switching device and as soon as someone touches the handle, the electromagnets are turned on. As a result, the strong magnetic field is generated that sticks the hammer to the metallic surface.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To make it more badass, Allen made an arrangement to turn off the electromagnet via a fingerprint sensor. When he touches the sensor with his thumb, the field switches off and he’s able to life the hammer just like Thor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In an amusing video below, Allen took his innovative DIY to the Venice Beach, California and challenged the people to lift the hammer. What happens next, watch in this video below:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Forget the good old days when the kids used to open up the electronics at their homes in quest of knowledge and sometimes even tweak the original to create a multi-purpose device. So, no more playing around with the gadgets, because if you are caught, your device would be seized and destroyed as per the recently signed Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wikileaks has <a href="https://wikileaks.org/tpp-ip3/WikiLeaks-TPP-IP-Chapter/WikiLeaks-TPP-IP-Chapter-051015.pdf" target="_blank">released the official documents</a> regarding the copyrights chapter which forbids anyone to circumvent the copyright and product infringement laws and thereby make changes in the original devices or proprietary technology (software/hardware) for any purpose. Such are called DRM or Digital Rights Management technologies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, DRM was always there but what comes new with the TPP is that judicial authorities would have the authority to confiscate and order the destruction of such devices and products found to be involved in any such DRM violation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">TPP is touted as the 21st-century landmark for trade liberalization and hog around 40% of the world’s economy and had been pushed aggressively since many years. The agreement has already come under fire for favoring the corporates and stifling the rights of consumers. Similar penal laws have been adjudicated against the free-flowing information on Internet, again with an intent to smother small businesses and create a corporate monopoly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Worst affected by these new developments will be the white-hat hackers as bypassing the manufacturer’s exclusive system and finding the zero-day vulnerabilities is their job. Even individuals who want to improvise their devices are prohibited. As in the case of the Internet copyright violations, the punishment is from a monetary fine to a term in jail.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Metals have been one of the most useful and precious elements that exists on earth. Since the very first metal was discovered, the human race has been on a continuous expedition for newer metals, they’ve always wanted to make the most out of it. But the heavy weight metals have always been a topic of concern when it comes to creating big fat iron structures, thanks to newer metals alloys like Steel, which are lighter and provide enormous strength as compared to their naturally found grandpas like iron.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Boeing, an established player in the airline industry, hired some scientific minds to create the world’s lightest metal, and they’ve named it Microlattice, has a lattice like structure made of thin nickel tubes, which are interconnected to provide a rigid structure capable of sustaining high compression levels.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Every invention has is roots inspired by some awesome things created by our mother nature, and is so true for the new member in the metal family, inspires its structure from our very own bones, which are hollow inside but have enough strength to perfectly hold our body from the time we someone’s son until we are someone’s grandfather.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The nickel tubes are assigned the job to be an integral part of Microlattice, almost 1000 times thinner than human hair, having thickness of just 100 nanometer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Microlattice can perform very well in the Egg Drop test, which involves dropping an egg wrapped in the bubble wrap having diameter of about a metre, but very few amount of Microlattice is required for this task, explains Sophia Yang, a HRL Laboratories research scientist. HRL Labs, a Boeing joint venture, is undertaking the development of Microlattice.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Boeing will harness the true potential of Microlattice to engineer exceptionally lighter, yet tougher planes as compared to today’s Boeing. This would add to the reduced fuel costs, an inevitable outlay for airline operators and for the passengers who are the real golden hen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Windows 95 was the first operating system for many people and it changed the people’s perception of personal computing. Back then, the OS ran of chunky desktop PCs and people were loving the newly introduced Start Menu. Same kind of love was received by Windows XP and it still powers millions of PCs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, the Start Menu is once again back with Windows 10 and people are loving this addition. Yesterday, I was killing some time on YouTube and I came across this amazing hack, that allowed a programmer to install Windows 95 and other famous software and games on his smartwatch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Corbin Davenport, a 16-year old web developer from Georgia has somehow managed to run Windows 95, Windows XP and other software on his Samsung Gear Live smartwatch.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the video below, the Windows 95 OS boots and takes same time to boot and the hacker is able to navigate around the OS using his fingers. Davenport accomplished this by using aDosBox, a DOS emulator that you can find in Google Play Store.</span></div>

Has Time Come For Us To Become Multi-Planet Species?

Shivam Patsariya 0 Creative, News, Science, tech 11:44 AM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><img alt="elon-musk-leave-earth" height="377" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/elon-musk-leave-earth.jpg" width="640" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Earth is pushing its limits to sustain humans. The uncertainty factor regarding our planet’s future plays a major role as well. So, are we ready to become a multi-planet species?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If humanity ever comes up against an enemy that is too difficult for the entire species to ward off, then what would we do? Do we have a plan for that? Well, as ill-equipped as we are, the best human race could do is to move to other earth-like planets, maybe in some other solar systems or just make the planet in ours habitable by nuking it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, if you ask of the dangers that earth could face, there would be quite a few of those. Let’s see, from the top of my head, mass extinction (man-made and spearheaded by climate change), then comes the possibilities of war (within humanity or with aliens!!), and one of the most dreaded asteroid collision that annihilated the last predominant species- the dinos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Elon Musk, the technology pioneer of the century is specifically apprehensive of Earth’s future and has advised humans to become multi-planet species as soon as possible. And, you know why he is in such a hurry?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Blogger Tim Urban has explained the current scenario very beautifully in this analogy. He says, Imagine Earth as a hard drive which has already crashed five times (you do remember the five mass extinctions right!) and losing out most of its data each time (species).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now listen to this fact: If the universe is time-scaled into one year, then humans would come into existence on 31st December, 23:58 hours!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, drawing from above, we would probably be witnessing another hard-drive crash that could happen any second now. Therefore we must have a backup planet, after all there should always be a Plan B. How about our Red neighbour then? We have also found water there and life supporting Nitrogen too had been detected!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, how well are we prepared? NASA is the preparing to send manned mission to Mars on its Orion Capsule. Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX wants to take humans to Mars and not just a few colonizing humans but over a million to speed up the infrastructure over there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, if everything goes as per the plan humans would on the red planet by the next decade. And, thus be a dawn of the era of the multi-planetary human species.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For more visualization on the subject, watch Interstellar. 😛</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Wikileaks has offered a bounty of $50,000 to anyone who could bring out any credential video evidence of the US bombing of the MSF hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">America’s recent bombings on the Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) hospital in the Kunduz city of Afghanistan was condemned worldwide in which over 20 staff members and patients were killed and dozens injured.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The investigation for war crimes is in talks now, meanwhile Wikileaks has offered to give $50,000 bounty to anyone who would bring in the video footage of the horrific bombings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, $50K is a big bounty and so the video also needs to be special, say like a first-hand evidence from the cockpit and audio conversation from the Lockheed AC-130, the fighter that dropped bomb over MSF hospital.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pentagon has claimed the accident as a collateral damage and apologized for the loss. However, the shocking revelation by the MSF staff that the terrifying bombings continued even after the US was made aware of the fact raises many questions over the US hegemony and intervention in the world affairs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The whistleblowing forum wrote on its website, “The AC-130 records its attacks with high-resolution gun cameras. According to military procedure, this footage should have been retained along with the cockpit audio. A post-massacre inquiry report referred to as an ‘AR 15-6′ should have also been commissioned. We are raising a US$50,000 bounty to obtain the footage, the cockpit audio, the inquiry report and other relevant materials such as the Rules of Engagement active at the time.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wikileaks is pushing for a crowdfunding donation to raise the bounty for the prized evidence that could bring the actual plan of the forces and expose the US intent.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It should be noted that Wikileaks has previously pushed for crowdfunding to get confidential information for Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) which was hailed as the worst thing to happen to the Internet, and then the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All these crowdfundings are a part of Wikileaks Prize for Understanding Good Government. Wikileaks, it seems, after a long hiatus has come back to its form and ready to spill all the secrets.</span></div>

do you Want to Make Authentic Diamonds Inside A Microwave? yeah It’s Possible

Shivam Patsariya 0 Creative, Science 3:39 AM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt="Blood-diamonds vs Microwave-diamonds" height="357" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Blood-diamonds-vs-Microwave-diamonds.jpg" width="640" /><b>SP's: </b>Move over Blood Diamonds, this technique creates authentic diamonds inside a Microwave in just 10 weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Diamonds are girl’s best friends, but if you have happened to watch Blood Diamond or know the ethical issues surrounding the conflict diamonds, you would be a little depressed while gifting those to your fiance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, for all the good people out there, science has again come to the rescue. Now, the diamonds that took millions of years to form inside the Earth, while being subjected to huge pressure and temperature could be made inside the laboratories in just a few weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before we begin, it is important for you to know that this procedure will not create any cheap rip-offs of the original diamond such as cubic zirconia, commonly known as ‘imitation diamonds’ in the industry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These new authentic diamonds are created by putting a small carbon lump inside a microwave filled with carbonized gases such as methane. The temperature is then increased until the carbon seed begins to glow like a superheated plasma ball. The high temperature allows the atoms inside the carbon seed to rearrange themselves into a crystalline formation and finally change into the world’s hardest element ‘diamond’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="diamond-lab-microwave" height="390" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/diamond-lab-microwave.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This process takes roughly about 10 weeks, and even the best of the gemologist could not make out the mined diamonds from the diamonds created inside a microwave.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, the demand for these synthetic gems is just 1% of the total but, reports suggest that more and more people are preferring those over the blood diamonds. Also, the synthetic diamonds come at a lower price, since all you have to do is heat up the carbon and create the required conditions!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As reported by <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-27/want-to-make-a-diamond-in-just-10-weeks-use-a-microwave" target="_blank">Bloomberg</a>, only about 45% of North American consumers from 18 to 35 prefer natural and untreated diamonds. So that looks like a thumbs up for the microwave diamonds.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>                Who says technology can’t be fun! And when the favourite cartoon character of your child or little sibling comes out from his sketch book, you seem to realise how much the technology has actually advanced. Augmented Reality has a kickass future and Disney has now given a glimpse of the coming days.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Disney’s tech team has created an interactive Android and iOS colouring book app that would turn the coloured character into a live 3D animated character much like the child’s imagination, but of course, into an augmented reality object on screen. It is a new Disney Research project that aims to bring back the lost excitement in children towards the colouring books.</i></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>              Now, converting a 2D picture into a 3D reality is tricky as most of the drawings have only a portion of the character (front or side view). Disney’s colouring book app overcomes the challenge by copying the pixels from the drawing and making a guess for the remaining part keeping its texture same as the original. The texture of the 3D model is automatically synthesised in real-time based on the drawing.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>            Disney conducted a web-based user based study with 314 participants for their colouring book app validation and was really happy with the responses. In the final assessment, a majority of the participants told that this creativity motivates them to draw, improve their sense of connection with the character and would definitely use the app at home.</i></span></div>
