In the midst of chaos,of destruction,Life returns. In the midst of chaos, of destruction, a young child stands alone,a silent witness to the demise of his family and friends.Homes,hospitals, and businesses crumble in a conflagration blue-white elemental fire welded by those whose hearts are filled with fear,hatred,and greed. In the midst of chaos and destruction, innocent life meets her demise in the ultraviolet, white-hot fire of modern battle. A young child grows into adulthood with the understanding that war brings the horror of destruction and death. The child grows into adulthood running, hiding from the hateful destruction all around, and feeling dispair, the child wonders if there ever will be peace. In the midst of chaos, of destruction, Life returns. After the war has ended,and the fighting has ceased, life makes her sweet presence known once more in a seemingly barren land.

Scientists extract images directly from brain ::: Pink Tentacle. Researchers from Japan's ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories have developed new brain analysis technology that can reconstruct the images inside a person's mind and display them on a computer monitor, it was announced on December 11. According to the researchers, further development of the technology may soon make it possible to view other people's dreams while they sleep. The scientists were able to reconstruct various images viewed by a person by analyzing changes in their cerebral blood flow. Using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine, the researchers first mapped the blood flow changes that occurred in the cerebral visual cortex as subjects viewed various images held in front of their eyes.
Subjects were shown 400 random 10 x 10 pixel black-and-white images for a period of 12 seconds each. For now, the system is only able to reproduce simple black-and-white images. "These results are a breakthrough in terms of understanding brain activity," says Dr. Synaptic Stimuli. Yosemite Panorama Pictures.

Hendrix flange - rec.audio.pro. Comb filter. In signal processing, a comb filter adds a delayed version of a signal to itself, causing constructive and destructive interference. The frequency response of a comb filter consists of a series of regularly spaced spikes, giving the appearance of a comb. Applications[edit] Comb filters are used in a variety of signal processing applications. These include: In acoustics, comb filtering can arise in some unwanted ways. For instance, when two loudspeakers are playing the same signal at different distances from the listener, there is a comb filtering effect on the signal.[1] In any enclosed space, listeners hear a mixture of direct sound and reflected sound.
Technical discussion[edit] Comb filters exist in two different forms, feedforward and feedback; the names refer to the direction in which signals are delayed before they are added to the input. Feedforward form[edit] Feedforward comb filter structure The general structure of a feedforward comb filter is shown on the right. Where. . . , giving . Icon Search Engine | Iconfinder. DesignTechnology. Design sites. Geolocation. Writing Sites. Tips: Mastering Audio and Music FAQ. What is mastering? Mastering is the final step in the recording process, where all the songs are checked for errors and the album is prepared for retail sale.
This preparation can include a number of things, but usually involves some sort of additional processing (or "sweetening" as many places like to call it) in order to make songs sound clearer and better. There are a great deal of personal tricks used by various mastering engineers which in part contributes to some of the mystique surrounding their practices. Processing is almost always done on the final mixes, not individual tracks. An example of said processing would be running a song through a powerful and transparent equalizer in order to properly balance the track. Oftentimes, additional compression and limiting is applied to the final mixes in order to give them a more "commercial" sound.

Gone are the days when you needed your own server for collaborative work between colleagues. Today, it’s possible to create an entire business on subscription plans and free collaboration tools that help you do everything you need with minimal effort and maximum reliability. This has already led to the creation of virtual offices all over the world – the open source ecosystem being one of the biggest and most successful examples of this. That shows that it’s finally possible to do away with expensive rental plans for offices and thousands of dollars for setting up and maintaining even a small-sized infrastructure.
In fact, if you’ve started your own small venture with personal money, it only makes good business sense to set up everything with as little cost as possible while keeping in mind the quality and reliability aspect. To give you an idea, here are the different types of applications that any business can use in order to manage things between remote employees: Project Management. Staples Art.

A Globule of Gas: The Sun, like other stars, was formed in a nebula, an interstellar cloud of dust and gas (mostly hydrogen). These stellar nurseries are abundant in the arms of spiral galaxies (like our galaxy, the Milky Way). In the stellar nursery, dense parts of the clouds undergo gravitational collapse and compress to form a rotating gas globule.
The globule is cooled by emitting radio waves and infrared radiation. A Central Core and a Protoplanetary Disk: As the collapse proceeds, the temperature and pressure within the globule increases, as the atoms are in closer proximity. Protostar: The contracting cloud heats up due to friction and forms a glowing protostar; this stage lasts for roughly 50 million years. A Newborn Star: When a temperature of about 27,000,000°F is reached, nuclear fusion begins at the core of the Sun. Young stars often emit jets of intense radiation that heat the surrounding matter to the point at which it glows brightly.

(Christine Daniloff) As computing power continues to move from the desktop to portable devices, the nature of communications networks will change radically. A network in which devices are regularly being added and removed, and where the strength of the connections between the devices fluctuates with their movement, requires much different protocols from those that govern relatively stable networks, like the Internet. In a paper appearing in the December issue of the journal Distributed Computing, a group of researchers, including NEC Professor of Software Science and Engineering Nancy Lynch, describe a long-term project to give unstable networks stable, shared memory.
Begun at MIT in 2001, and largely funded by the National Science Foundation, the project was initially envisioned as a means to preserve vital information for teams of soldiers operating in hostile environments, as, say, Tora Bora, Afghanistan, was at the time.

Educational Organizations. Clean Energy. Earth economist: The food bubble is about to burst - environment - 10 February 2011. We're fast draining the fresh water resources our farms rely on, warns Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute What is a food bubble? That's when food production is inflated through the unsustainable use of water and land. It's the water bubble we need to worry about now. The World Bank says that 15 per cent of Indians (175 million people) are fed by grain produced through overpumping - when water is pumped out of aquifers faster than they can be replenished.
In China, the figure could be 130 million. Has this bubble already burst anywhere? Saudi Arabia made itself self-sufficient in wheat by using water from a fossil aquifer, which doesn't refill. With population rising, a fall in grain production would spell big trouble. Yes. What will happen if we carry on as we are now? Civilisation as we know it can't withstand the stresses of continuing with business as usual. How can we avert a disaster like this? Can individuals make a difference?
