40 Inspiring Responsive Websites. String Theory Finally Does Something Useful | Wired Science. String theory has finally made a prediction that can be tested with experiments — but in a completely unexpected realm of physics. The theory has long been touted as the best hope for a unified “theory of everything,” bringing together the physics of the vanishingly small and the mindbendingly large. But it has also been criticized and even ridiculed for failing to make any predictions that could be checked experimentally. It’s not just that we don’t have big enough particle accelerators or powerful enough computers; string theory’s most vocal critics charge that no experiment could even be imagined that would prove it right or wrong, making the whole theory effectively useless. Now, physicists at Imperial College London and Stanford University have found a way to make string theory useful, not for a theory of everything, but for quantum entanglement.
String theory suggests that matter can be broken down beyond electrons and quarks into tiny loops of vibrating strings. And they are. News - Fashion news and behind the scene features. Black & White Streets of the World. The Book of Symbols: Carl Jung's Catalog of the Unconscious. By Kirstin Butler Why Sarah Palin identifies with the grizzly bear, or what the unconscious knows but doesn’t reveal. A primary method for making sense of the world is by interpreting its symbols. We decode meaning through images and, often without realizing, are swayed by the power of their attendant associations. A central proponent of this theory, iconic Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Gustaf Jung, made an academic case for it in the now-classic Man and His Symbols, and a much more personal case in The Red Book.
Beginning in the 1930s, Jung’s devotees started collecting mythological, ritualistic, and symbolic imagery under the auspices of The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS), an organization with institutes throughout the U.S. You can browse through ARAS via a list of common archetypes, or search by word, producing a cross-indexed result with thumbnail images and a timeline of where and when that idea appeared throughout history.

The LEGO Gender Gap: A Historical Perspective. “Why does all the girls have to buy pink stuff?” Even a child can see something is wrong in our toy stores. The gender gap* that frustrates Riley in the above video does more than tell her which toys it socially appropriate for her to play with, it separates her from a whole realm of experience - masculinity.
As Riley grows older and decides what sort of person she wants to be, she will encounter this gap again and again. While crossing the gender gap is not impossible, it is difficult and doing so risks stigma and ostracism, just ask the boy who dressed up as Daphne or the girl with the Star Wars water bottle.

Explore. Little Bird: A Beautifully Minimalist Story of Belonging Lost and Found by Swiss Illustrator Albertine. By Maria Popova “There are no greater treasures than the little things.” Children’s picture books — the best of them, at least — have this magical quality of speaking to young hearts with expressive simplicity, but also engaging grown-up minds with subtle reflections on the human condition. Such is the case of Little Bird (public library) by Swiss author-illustrator duo Germano Zullo and Albertine, published by the wonderful Enchanted Lion Books. Illustrated in Albertine’s signature style of soft, colorful minimalism, this little gem is like a beautiful silent film, only in vibrant hues and on paper.
It tells the tender story of a big-hearted man who halts his truck at a cliff’s edge. The two have lunch together and, eventually, the man tries to encourage the bird to fly off and join the others by attempting a comic demonstration of flight himself. There are no greater treasures than the little things. A lovely quote from an e. e. cummings poem graces the first page: Donating = Loving. VIDEO - Treats! Magazine | Treats! Magazine.

Why We Love: 5 Must-Read Books on the Psychology of Love. It’s often said that every song, every poem, every novel, every painting ever created is in some way “about” love. What this really means is that love is a central theme, an underlying preoccupation, in humanity’s greatest works. But what exactly is love? How does its mechanism spur such poeticism, and how does it lodge itself in our minds, hearts and souls so completely, so stubbornly, as to permeate every aspect of the human imagination? Today, we turn to 5 essential books that are “about” love in a different way — they turn an inquisitive lens towards this grand phenomenon and try to understand where it comes from, how it works, and what it means for the human condition. No superlative is an exaggeration of Alain de Botton‘s humble brilliance spanning everything from philosophy to architecture.

The Smiley Book of Colors. By Maria Popova When Freud came to believe he was going to die between the ages of 61 and 62, and subsequently began seeing the two numbers everywhere he looked, which only intensifying the urgency of his superstition, he came to observe the value of selective attention in focusing the unconscious. But what if we engineered this selective attention purposefully and aligned it with our emotional and mental well-being?
That’s exactly what photographer, children’s author, and educator Ruth Kaiser did in 2008, when she began seeing smiley faces everywhere she turned. For the past four years, she has been collecting and sharing photographs “found” everyday smileys in the Spontaneous Smiley Project — an exercise in self-induced feel-goodness, inviting others to upload their own photos and donating $1 for each uploaded photo to Operation Smile, which provides free surgeries to children born with cleft lip and cleft palate.

Going Solo: A Brief History of Living Alone and the Enduring Social Stigma Around Singletons. By Maria Popova “Despite its prevalence, living alone is one of the least discussed and, consequently, most poorly understood issues of our time.” In the 4th century BC, Aristotle admonished: The man who is isolated, who is unable to share in the benefits of political association, or has no need to share because he is already self-sufficient, is no part of the polis, and must therefore be either a beast or a god. Indeed, the ancient world held exile as the most formidable form of punishment, second only to execution, though in Greek tragedies it was often regarded as a fate worse than death. The nuclear family is a universal human social grouping. Yet our relationship with solitary life has undergone a radical shift in the recent past.
Until recently, most of us married young and parted only at death. Klinenberg paints an even more vivid picture by the numbers: In 1950, 22 percent of American adults were single.

In the beginning, there was just you and your partners. You did every job.
You coded, you met with investors, you emptied the trash and phoned in the midnight pizza. Now you have others to do all that and it's time for you to "be strategic. " Whatever that means. If you find yourself resisting "being strategic," because it sounds like a fast track to irrelevance, or vaguely like an excuse to slack off, you're not alone. Every leader's temptation is to deal with what's directly in front, because it always seems more urgent and concrete.
Unfortunately, if you do that, you put your company at risk. This is a tough job, make no mistake. After two decades of advising organizations large and small, my colleagues and I have formed a clear idea of what's required of you in this role.

Try as I might, I cannot seem to grasp even the most basic of feminine beauty rituals. I’m constantly struggling to master rudimentary hair and makeup techniques, and my one-time foray into the “subtle” art of perfume left everyone in the room with burning nostrils.

Mandy only uses pure and natural ingredients to create her perfumes, and this solid scent can be easily applied with no risk of over-dousing.

Along the Enchanted Way by William Blacker Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Reviewed by Will Gourlay 'Enchanting' isn’t a word usually associated with Romania. Think 'Romania' and most people will conjure images of Communist-era architecture in Bucharest or hair-raising tales of Dracula. However, in Along the Enchanted Way, William Blacker's account of years spent living in Romania paints an altogether different – and unexpected – picture of this little-known country. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Blacker ventured through Eastern Europe, eventually roaming to Romania at the time of the overthrow of Ceausescu.
Blacker was intrigued by all he discovered in this 'countryside awash with colour and brimming with cheerful people' completely at odds with the drab world of Communist conformity that he'd expected. After that initial encounter, Blacker returned several times, passing through Transylvania, visiting villages where the Saxon community maintained traditions dating back to the 12th century. From Sketch to Still: The Costumes in My Week with Marilyn. In the opening scene of My Week with Marilyn, Michelle Williams wiggles her way into character with a knockout white dress and a throaty rendition of “Heat Wave.” Costume designer Jill Taylor (Sliding Doors, Match Point) had her own reason to be short of breath. Due to budget constraints, the costumer wasn’t able to construct a double of the masterfully accurate gown, which was hand-detailed—bead for tiny bead—to match the original.
“That one white dress had to work solidly for 11 days—and after day four, the original metal zip broke,” she says. “The way the dress was constructed, you’d have had to take the whole dress apart to get it out. So [costume assistant] Vicki [Taylor] stitched Michelle into that dress every day. Poor Michelle had to stand there for ages, and poor Vicki had to stitch her in! To add to the pressure of designing the film’s wardrobe on a restricted budget in a tight time frame—just eight weeks were allotted for prep—Taylor is a self-professed Marilyn fan. “Who?” 9 Things Every Entrepreneur Needs to Learn From Woody Allen.
