US Chemists Developed a Heat - Fire Resistant Camouflage Makeup that Protects Soldiers

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description :

The heat of a bomb blast or IED explosion is so intense that it can fry the skin of any troop unlucky to be near. If service members are wearing camo paint, the consequences can be even worse: most makeup is oil or wax-based and can ignite instantly in a flash of heat and pressure. 

Camouflage makeup can do more than hide soldiers from their enemies though. Yeap, this camo paint brings a new era in shielding soldiers from heat threat.

This new form of a heat reflective camouflage paint shields soldiers faces in the field from the searing heat of those bomb blasts. This Next - Generation Makeup was developed by Robert Lochhead and a team from the University of Southern Mississippi, US, at the direction of the Department of Defense. 

The paint replaces its traditional carbon base with silicone that is non-flammable and can absorb heat - A chemical challenge to develop. The change means that just a thin layer of camouflage face paint could not only help soldiers escape detection, but prevent burn injuries and facial scarring from run-ins with explosives. 

The heat-resistant makeup not only provides protection from the searing temperatures of roadside bomb blasts and other explosions but it could also safeguard firefighters from more serious burns.

It keeps the left-hand strip at below 100°C after 10s under a blowtorch, whereas the unprotected strip reaches 400°C. Check out the video!

RubberBand the Smartphone App that Can Help Teachers Keep Track of Wandering Kids

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

A new smartphone app, RubberBand, was featured in a New Scientist teaser piece this month. The article details the new app as a tool to help teachers keep track of kindergarteners. The app works by tracking children that stray from a group. If you have ever been to a museum you can probably appreciate the kind of fear that a teacher in charge of dozens encounters. If a child just moves past a wall at an exhibit, they are then out of sight.

Following one child into another room, when in charge of so many, is not an option. The technology works with the user attaching sensors to those that need tracked. The software which is controlled from a smartphone, tracks each of those sensors by measuring the signal strength. So if one of those sensors moves out of range it will alert the user with an alarm.

There are some reservations for this new app. The article mentions attaching the sensor to a child's backpack. This would be a concern for many parents as backpacks can be left behind on a school bus or just lost. A more thoughtful approach is needed if teachers and parents are expected to invest in this software. Perhaps putting the sensor on an item not so obvious, like a zipper pull, a belt loop or an inside pocket. 

Also there is the matter of giving a caretaker permission to be complacent. In the article a kindergarten teacher is quoted to have breathed a sigh of relief because they felt less stressed with having the technology. But complacency can be cultured with any kind of fix and this should only be used as a back up measure. Classes are overflowing and kids will continue to go on class trips. This means teachers must be vigilant and head counts must be done.

Several other uses come to mind outside of education. For instance, children in any situation can be tracked this way. For example at camp, for babysitters at functions, large parties, venues, extracurricular activities and at family outings like theme parks. Even keeping a handle on grandma is optimal. She might not always be found at Yankee Candle. Basically, this app can help anyone who needs to keep tabs on a dozen or so. The uses are endless.

The RubberBand app is made by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Daejeon in the Republic of Korea. Anyone looking for more information can contact them via email at hjjang, sungwon, inseok, chanyou, junesong@nclab.kaist.ac.kr or you can also contact the Intel representative at: lama.nachman@intel.com.

The app is due to be debuted this September at a conference in Pittsburgh, PA. More information on when it will go to market should be available at that time.

Why More Schools are Choosing E-Books over Print Textbooks

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

Even a decade ago, the thought of using e-Books in the classroom seemed like science fiction. Now, more and more public schools are choosing to buy e-Readers instead of print textbooks. E-Books are becoming popular even at the middle and grade school level, where children have traditionally used workbooks and similar tools.

Transitioning to e-Books is a logical choice for many schools. In a world where many students attend online colleges and use digital reference books, it just makes sense to buy e-Books.

Here are the most common reasons schools are switching to electronic texts.

Savings

The great thing about e-Books is they cost a lot less than print books. Even with the same edition, an e-Book is typically less expensive than the paper version. That means when you’re buying hundreds of textbooks for a school, e-Books save you a lot of money. The price of the initial e-Reader will barely make a dent in these savings.

Convenience

Electronic textbooks are also convenient for students. Instead of having to lug around half a dozen heavy textbooks, students only have to carry one slim e-Reader.

Using e-Books makes it easier for students to remember all of the materials needed to complete homework. The end of the school day is a busy time for students. Many have limited time to collect supplies before running to catch the bus.

Rather than having to worry about which books they’ll need, students can just take home their e-Reader. This means that with e-Books, students will miss fewer homework assignments and remember to study more often.

Health

Many students experience back and shoulder pain from all the books they have to tote around. Experts say students shouldn’t carry more than one tenth of their body weight on their backs, but this often isn’t possible. Smaller children could exceed their recommended weight limit with just a few books. If students have to carry books for multiple subjects or have a lot of homework, their backpacks could weigh 20 or 30 pounds.

In contrast with print textbooks, many e-Readers weight less than a pound. This means e-Books are safer for children to use.

Environment

Today’s schools are becoming more and more concerned with protecting the environment. Many districts have started recycling and are using eco-friendly cleaning products to keep their schools green. Others have installed energy-efficient windows to help cut electricity usage. Using e-books would continue these schools’ environmental initiatives. Since one e-Reader replaces dozens of textbooks, it saves a lot of trees from being cut down.

Tools for Study

With paper books, students can’t mark up the text, since pens and highlighters damage the pages. In contrast, students can highlight important passages on the screen of their e-Readers. This can really save time when they’re studying; rather than rereading long chapter, students need only review their highlights. Many electronic textbooks also have optional study guides students can use to prepare for a big exam.

Now that you’ve learned more about e-Books, you might want to see if your school district is thinking about making the switch! Let us know down below your good ideas. Also make sure to LIKE and subscribe!

The Tomorrow Project : Conversations about Synthetic Biology

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

The Tomorrow Project

- What kind of future do you want to live in? 

- What future do you want to avoid? 

The Tomorrow Project is an International Program that explores our possible futures through fact-based, Science-based fiction and video conversations with Scientists and Science fiction authors, legends and world renowned experts, passionate advocates and everyday people. 

Science fiction gives all of us all a language so that we can have a conversation about the future and these conversations make dramatic changes.

Join the conversation >>

On today's topic Designer, Researchers and Scientists Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Christina Agapakis and Patrick Boyle are in conversation with Intel Consumer Experience Architect - Futurist Brian David Johnson about Synthetic Biology.

Synthetic What?

Synthetic Biology is a new area of Biological Research and Technology that combines Science and Engineering. It encompasses a variety of different approaches, methodologies, and disciplines with a variety of definitions.The common goal is the Design and Construction of new Biological Functions and Systems not found in Nature.

The Scientists who engage in Synthetic Biology research approach the creation of new Biological system from different perspectives, focusing on finding how life works (the origin of life) or how to use it to benefit society. 

The former focus includes the approach of Biology, inserting man-made DNA into a living cell; and Chemistry, working on gene synthesis as an extension of Synthetic Chemistry. The latter focus includes Engineering, building the new Biological System as a platform for various Technologies; and rewriting, rebuilding the natural systems to provide the Engineered surrogates.

The advance of synthetic biology relies on several key enabling technologies provided at ever increasing speed and lower cost. DNA sequencing, fabrication of genes, modeling how synthetic genes behave, and precisely measuring gene behavior are essential tools in synthetic Biology. Enjoy the video!

The U.S. Apple Store Went Down - Here we go

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

The U.S. Apple Store is currently down which could signal that new Apple products are about to be launched. Unlike previous times it's gone down though, there is no note announcing that the store is down - just that the browser can't reach the store. 

The sign on the Store says : “We’re busy updating the Apple Store for you and will be back soon.”

It’s possible that Apple is simply fixing some technical glitches.

Whatever the reason is, it'll be a few short hours until we know more details. Once it gets back up, we will let you know about the changes.

UPDATE : Apple Store is online again.

Live2D - Interactive 3D animation of 2D images

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

Live2D, developed by Cybernoids and presented by DigInfoTV, is the world's first drawing technology to enable 3D rendering of 2D images. This technology supports a variety of portable consoles and smartphones, and Live2D is already being utilized for games that take advantage of the unique characteristics of hand drawn artwork. 

"In 3D, the unique attractions of 2D art like Osamu Tezuka's can't be rendered properly. But with Live2D, we've worked to enable smooth 3D motion using entirely the original 2D drawings. So, this system makes the graphics appear exactly as the creator intended."

"When the face turns sideways, you can show perfectly how the eyelashes and eyes move. You can also use the tools to work more easily and efficiently. This can be done in all kinds of ways, with all kinds of emphasis, depending on what the creator wants to do. This technology is an extension of drawing, so it works best if the creator has a good artistic sense."

The Live2D creation tools are available in two versions, supporting content creation using either polygons or vectors. A 3D engine is used to power the polygon based version, so it can achieve fast, fluid motion even on mobile devices.

Currently, Live2D is used mainly for dialog-type games with limited movement. But over the next year or two, Cybernoids aims for the tools to evolve to a point where the motions of the characters can be rendered through 360 degrees.

"We're aiming for this technology to be used worldwide, hopefully creating a market for revolving graphics in 2D, like with 3D. So, our goal is for this technology to become a de facto standard worldwide."

Watch Out : China Will Soon Dominate Online Shopping

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

What's up everyone? 

Online shopping has become a way of life for many of us in the developed world. 

Rather than heading out to a brick and mortar store to buy things, people turn to the internet to provide them with a veritable cornucopia of consumer goods - clothes, electronics, even groceries, usually in much greater variety and significantly less expensive than traditional stores. 

In short, online shopping has come to dominate our consuming practices over the past decade. 

Winners and Losers of Ecommerce

As with any emerging market or technology, there are winners and there are losers when it comes to online shopping. The losers have largely been the brick and mortar businesses that have refused to adapt, becoming irrelevant as their customers flocked to the internet. The winners have been companies that took the initiative and aggressively pursued online customers. And while the United States has been the epicenter of the tech revolution, we’re poised to see our dominance in this arena start to slip over the next few years. And who’s going to pick up the slack? Only one of the world’s fastest growing, largest economies - China. 

China’s Ecommerce Stats

According to Lauren Indvik on mashable.com, online shopping in China generated $121 billion in sales last year, and that number is expected to triple through 2015. By then, China’s online spending is projected to be 20% higher than it will be in the United States, coming in at roughly $420 billion. At that point, ecommerce is expected to make up 8% of all retail sales in China. 

Why China?

So what exactly is driving this intense growth? Population is a huge factor. China has 1.34 billion people, and though it’s still a developing country, it’s also becoming increasingly upwardly mobile. Those living in the massive, sprawling urban areas generally have access to some form of internet, and the tech infrastructure is constantly improving. The Chinese economy is also booming, which means more and more people have some disposable income these days. In fact, the Chinese middle class is expected to grow from 200 million people to 800 million over the next 20 years. All those freshly made middle class folks are going to spend at least some of their money online. 

Challenges of the Future

With all Chinese ecommerce has going for it, there are still some major limitations that will need to be addressed in the future. The first is that, much like in the early days of online shopping in the U.S., Chinese consumers must be extremely wary of fraud and subpar or counterfeit goods, and have a difficult if not impossible time returning merchandise. Another major hurdle is the lack of consistent internet access for much of China’s populace -14% of Chinese consumers shop online, while 54% of Americans do. While this might seem like a small percentage, however, it’s important to remember that 14% of 1.3 billion is still a considerable number. 

If the Chinese economy continues to grow as projected, we can expect to see China dominating online shopping very soon, and, one suspects, for a very long time. If the United States wants to stay competitive, we have to ramp up our innovation and hone and innovate our ecommerce software in order to attract online shoppers from around the world - especially China.

Dedicated Office Space in Colocation Centers

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

Many colocation centers offer their customers dedicated office space. This is critical for businesses that need temporary office space for day-to-day operations. 

Benefits to Dedicated Office Space

Not only do colocation facilities offer supreme security but they also provide access to a robust network. It is worthwhile for a company to find a colocation center that offers dedicated office space, private conference rooms and even amenities like showers. It should look for a facility that provides workspace dedicated solely to its business. This makes it easy to conduct daily operations without distractions or security concerns from anyone else. 

These office spaces are absolutely invaluable during times of disaster. If a company’s normal place of operation is unusable or destroyed, it can relocate to a secure data center. This keeps downtime to a minimum or even eliminates it all together. Also, if a company simply is growing beyond its capacity and needs temporary office space, it can look to data centers to fill that need. Businesses that do not have a physical office can also use data center office space. The dedicated space can give them a temporary home base or conference rooms to hold important meetings. 

Location can be Key

If a colocation service does offer dedicated office space, another factor to consider is location. It is best if the colocation facility is located out of disaster areas such as flood zones, coastal regions or tornado paths. A colocation facility is of no use if it is located in a dangerous area. It is important that a data center stay in operation even if a company’s home location is destroyed. Data centers must offer a secure, stable environment in case of emergency or natural disaster.

In addition, companies might want to choose a location that allows them to meet with visitors, employees or clients. Being close in proximity to airports or travel hubs and hotels and restaurants is beneficial. 

Security Systems and Features 

Keeping mission-critical applications secure is of the utmost importance. If a colocation service is offering dedicated office space, its security measures are critical. Various companies will be hosting their information in the same facility. So, understanding the security process is important for peace of mind. Ideally a colocation facility would host 24-hour security, seven days a week throughout the year. Cages and cabinets should be equipped with individual locking mechanisms and/or biometric scanners. Moreover, having sophisticated alarm and surveillance systems in place is also crucial. Secure loading docks and manned points of entry are ideal. Well-lit and secure parking lots for customers, visitors and employees are also a needed feature.

Dedicated office space is often a perk of colocation centers. However, there are those that find these services a requirement of any colocation package. Just because a company may not need an off-site office at the moment doesn’t mean the need won’t arise in the future. Companies shouldn’t leave themselves open to the detriments of a disaster. They should locate a colocation partner that will help them cover all of their needs.

RELATED: Colocation Hosting for Improved Connectivity 

Colocation would be a great choice for many businesses in different industries. We encourage you to think about customizable solutions that are tailored to meet your needs.

7 Tips to Creating a Useful Product Review

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

Are you aware that most buyers would rather believe a user or consumer review of a product than the actual producer or manufacturer? This means that a well written product review will easily catch the attention of prospects and help you convert them to buyers. 

But how do you actually write compelling reviews? Please read on:

1. Start with a Brief Product Description

An effective product review should start with short overview of the product. Introduce your readers to the product so that you can catch their attention and so that they can be convinced that the rest of the review is worth reading.

2. Write about Who the Ideal Buyer Should Be

Just like every well written book begins with a preface, that tells you who the book was written for, your review should quickly let the reader know the type of user or consumer that the product is meant for. This will help the reader to develop more interest in the product once he or she knows it is meant for him or her.

3. List out the Key Features and Benefits of the Product

Summarize the key features and benefits of the product with a bullet list. You can easily get this done by referring to the manufacturer's sales page.

4. Summarize User or Buyer Experiences Including Yours

Now, this is probably the most important part of the review. Your readers will always be highly interested in reading the experiences other people have had with the product. Your own experience is however the most convincing (if you have used the product).

5. Add Pictures and Videos Where Applicable

As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Your readers will love to see images of the product. You may even go on to produce a short video of yourself or other people using the product. Seeing is believing.

6. List Out the Pros and Cons of Buying the Product

It is appropriate to give a summary of the pros and cons associated with any product under review. It is good to have a fair balance between the positives and negatives given about a product. An ideal proportion will be 70% positives and 30% negatives. It is also ideal to highlight some of the ways by which the negatives of the product can be overcome if the reader decides to buy the product.

7. Give a Call to Action

Finally, you should ask the reader to take a step towards buying the product. This is the reason why you took the time to write the review anyway. So, ask the reader to go ahead and click on a link that will either take him or her to a squeeze page where you can collect his or her email address or you can direct your prospect directly to the manufacturer's sales page.

Conclusion

These are seven of the most important things you need to do to create a useful product review that will convert prospects into buyers and help you earn your desired income. Please put them into practice.

Public Health Threats that Could Devastate Society

Posted by Andreas Christodoulou

Description : 

The world has changed drastically since the 1918 Spanish Influenza Pandemic. Ease of travel and the vast increase in the flow of information, not to mention the far more numerous world population, mean that public health threats can spread much more rapidly and in far different form than they did many years ago.

We have to worry about more than just germs these days. Public health officials concern themselves not only with natural diseases and their epidemiology, but with any threat that could interrupt health services and delivery of clean food and water to the general population.

Technology has created wonders in healthcare world, but it has also opened vulnerabilities our ancestors would have never imagined. From cyber and terrorist attacks that could disrupt power grids to bioengineered viruses that could spread at a terrifying rate due to the closeness of urban populations, public health officials are working to combat strange new contingencies every day.
