Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2012 January 21 Days in the Sun Image Credit & Copyright: Regina Valkenborgh Explanation: From solstice to solstice, this six month long exposure compresses time from the 21st of June till the 21st of December, 2011, into a single point of view. Dubbed a solargraph, the unconventional picture was recorded with a pinhole camera made from a drink can lined with a piece of photographic paper.

Fixed to a single spot for the entire exposure, the simple camera continuously records the Sun's path each day as a glowing trail burned into the photosensitive paper. In this case, the spot was chosen to look out over the domes and radio telescope of the University of Hertfordshire's Bayfordbury Observatory. Tomorrow's picture: saturn's hexagon. Busted: Monsanto Abusing Illegal Workers in ‘Slave-Like’ Conditions.

Anthony GucciardiActivist Post Monsanto’s disregard for human health is evidenced by their hazardous GMO crops and herbicides, but a shocking new report has revealed the company’s illegal ‘slave-like’ working conditions. Forcing slave workers to work the cornfields for 14 hours per day and buy their food (most likely GMO) at highly-inflated prices from the company store, Monsanto has been running these slave rings for an unknown number of years. What’s more, is the company not only ‘hired’ all of the workers illegally, but prevented them from leaving the farm premises and withheld their salaries. The information came to light following a raid by Argentina’s tax agency known as AFIP, where it was revealed that the farmhands were being forced to work almost twice as long as legally permissible and given no compensation.

Unsurprisingly, Monsanto failed to respond to the story. Monsanto: A Corrupt History of Inhumane Abuse ‘We are ruined now,’ said the dead man’s 38-year-old wife.

NEW YORK – Look at a photo or news clip from around the world of Occupy protesters and you'll likely spot a handful of people wearing masks of a cartoon-like man with a pointy beard, closed-mouth smile and mysterious eyes. The mask is a stylized version of Guy Fawkes, an Englishman who tried to bomb the British Parliament on Nov. 5, 1605. "They're very meaningful masks," said Alexandra Ricciardelli, who was rolling cigarettes on a table outside her tent in New York's Zuccotti Park two days before the anniversary of Fawkes' failed bombing attempt. "It's not about bombing anything; it's about being anonymous — and peaceful.

" To the 20-year-old from Keyport, N.J., the Fawkes mask "is about being against The Man — the power that keeps you down. " But history books didn't lead to the mask's popularity: A nearly 30-year-old graphic novel and a five-year-old movie did. While Fawkes' image has been romanticized over the past 400 years, he was a criminal who tried to blow up a government building. X11 color names. In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values. It is shipped with every X11 installation, hence the name, and is usually located in <X11root>/lib/X11/rgb.txt. The web colors list is descended from it.

The list does not show continuity either in selected color values or in color names, and many color triplets have multiple names. Despite this, graphic designers and others got used to them, making it practically impossible to introduce a different list. In some applications multipart names are written with spaces, in others joined together, often in camel case; this article uses spaces and uppercase initials. Color names are not standardized by Xlib or the X11 protocol. The list first shipped with X10 release 3 (X10R3) on 7 June 1986, having been checked into RCS by Jim Gettys in 1985.[2] The same list was in X11R1 on 18 September 1987.

Failure Is An Option: 7 Businesses That Tanked In 2011 (Slides) Swiss 'contract children' speak out. 19 January 2012Last updated at 02:32 By Imogen Foulkes BBC News "Contract children" were expected to perform hard labour on the farms A dark chapter of Swiss history is getting increased attention, with the release of a feature film about "Verdingkinder" or "contract children" and an exhibition about them which is touring the country.

A common feature of Swiss life until the mid-1950s, Verdingkinder were primarily children from poor families in the cities, forcibly removed from their parents by the authorities and sent to work on farms. There, many of them were regularly beaten and even sexually abused. They had little education and consequently, as adults, little chance of making careers for themselves. Many also found that the abuse experienced in their childhood made it difficult to establish relationships as adults - former Verdingkinder have high rates of divorce and many now live alone. Peter Weber was a Verdingkind.

Google's social networking site Google+ could become a key tool for charities: the search engine recently rolled out new features in the US that may make charities rethink their approach to social networking. The UK is next on Google's plan. Google+ – which opened its +Pages for brands in November appears to have attracted a significant number of charities.

Mimi Kravetz, senior project marketing manager at Google, said take up among UK charities had "exceeded early expectations". The service itself, she said, has grown quickly, with 40 million users within 100 days after its launch in summer. However, until the announcements, consensus among charities appeared to be that there was little benefit in paying attention. Most charities appeared to be pushing similar content on Google+ to their Facebook and Twitter feeds. The British Heart Foundation's community and social media manager, Robert Kusabbi, described Google+ as "social for the sake of social". Confessions of a Publisher: “We’re in Amazon’s Sights and They’re Going to Kill Us”

By Sarah Lacy On January 17, 2012 When you see Snooki’s book on the New York Times Best Seller List, you know publishing is in trouble. You can blame readers and say publishing is just giving the public what they want. But that’s only half the problem. The rest is a lazy publishing industry that does far too little of the work that got them here: Discovering new authors and giving them a shot. Instead, they go for the lazy lay-up: Overpaying on celebrity memoirs and pop culture phenomenons with a built in audience. But that was a short term mistake that has put the publishing industry behind the eight ball. And, according to this industry insider who asked not to be named, a familiar bully is about to take them out. So Amazon, pretty much since they started selling books, has been selling them for razor thin or zero margin. And good for them.

Someone will build the next great publishing imprint out of these ashes. How I know my representative doesn't have a clue. How can we effectively boycott the entertainment industry? : AskReddit.

Jerry Yang, the oft-criticized Yahoo co-founder and board member, has resigned from the company’s board, Yahoo announced this afternoon. Remember that Yahoo shareholder Dan Loeb wanted Yang off the board, and some Yahoo investors believed Yang was improperly talking on his own to potential suitors for Yahoo. Our Journal colleagues recently reported Yahoo was searching for a few good director candidates. Yahoo’s statement (see full statement below) says Yang is leaving the board to pursue other interests. The timing of Yang’s resignation is more than interesting. Here is the statement from Yahoo: Yahoo! In a letter to the Yahoo! “My time at Yahoo!

Six months after the launch of Final Cut Pro X (FCPX), Apple's major overhaul to its professional video editing software Final Cut Pro, video pros find themselves increasingly looking at other software options.

The new version of Final Cut Pro was controversial—there were significant changes to the Final Cut interface, a plethora of editing features were taken away, and worst of all, Final Cut Pro X was rendered unable to import projects from previous versions of the software. For video editors and producers with years of work using Final Cut Pro, the launch of Final Cut Pro X made it seem like Apple no longer cared for its market of creative professionals.

Is that still the case now, half a year later? TV production company Bunim/Murray recently brought the issue back into the public consciousness by announcing that it was switching from Final Cut Pro to Avid, noting that the company needed "a partner who would understand our long-term needs. " Chicken versus the egg FCPX ain't all bad. Miss representation Trailer. Stars Without Makeup! Pictures - Jessica Simpson. Hollywood's Obama Donors On President's Piracy Stand: Not Give A Dime Anymore. EXCLUSIVE: Internet sites on their SOPA-Strike may be conducting a blackout but Hollywood studios are conducting a boycott. I’ve learned that Hollywood studio chiefs individually and as a group are drawing a line in the sand on the piracy issue with the Obama re-election campaign and refusing to give any more donations.

The blowup came after President Obama on Saturday dashed moguls’ hopes that he would remain on the sidelines in the dispute over the U.S. House Of Representatives’ Stop Online Piracy Act and the U.S. Senate’s Protect IP Act. They added that they plan to host an online event “to get more input” on the matter. So far the most outspoken mogul against the Obama administration on this issue has been Rupert Murdoch who on Saturday told his new Twitter audience: “So Obama has thrown in his lot with Silicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery.”

Ron Hubbard to the principles on which Scientology is based. He never claimed to have had a revelation. He spelled the principles out in 1950 in Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the bestselling self-help treatise in which he presents rationality as our birthright.

The human mind, he wrote, is a perfect computer corrupted by ‘incorrect data’. He urged readers to reflect on their lives and ask themselves: ‘Where is the error?’ With the help of a lay therapist, called an ‘auditor’, they could uncover early traumas – mothers who wanted to abort them, or slept with too many men – and become less irrational: ‘Many of the things which Freud thought might exist,’ he wrote, ‘such as “life in the womb”, “birth trauma”, we in Dianetics have … confirmed.’ Hubbard insisted that the principles of Dianetics had nothing to do with ‘any mumbo-jumbo of mysticism or spiritualism or religion’. Hubbard took the rejection badly. How photojournalists covered the Wiki blackout. SwampySoccerField comments on PIPA support collapses, with 13 new Senators opposed. The Future Of Humankind.

That's what Fred and Charlotte Thomas both called them — "the guys," as though they were Fred's poker buddies. Fred and Charlotte were both in their early seventies. They were retired. It was March 17, 2011, when they came over the first time. The meeting went well. "There is no way for us, as militiamen, to save this country, to save Georgia, without doing something that's highly, highly illegal. It's amazing whom we're arresting as terrorists these days.
