ALIEN RACES BOOK preview: FIRST 3 PAGES ! Horse Hauling in Winter: What You Need to Know With the temperatures dropping, and the prospect of bad weather, winter brings several challenges for horse owners who wish to travel with their horses. Icy conditions and harsh winds may make it more difficult to haul horses safely. This post will help you discover some of the precautions you need to take, and how you can safely transport your horse even during the coldest winter months. 1. When hauling your horse during the winter, you’ll need to make sure that your horse is warm and comfortable. Image Source: Pinterest However, novice horse owners can easily make the mistake of keeping their horse too warm, so the challenge here is to ensure that the temperature inside your trailer is warm enough but not so warm that the horse overheats. Hauling horses during winter requires that the trailer is well ventilated to prevent overheating and ensure that the horse can breathe easily. Experienced horsemen know to try to maintain a temperature of 50-60°F inside the trailer, if possible. 2. 3.
Mind Games It’s here: a headset that allows computers to read your thoughts—so you can control machines with your mind. By Amar Patel and Brian Gill HOW’S THIS FOR a big word of the day? Electroencephalography. Before our proofreader has a heart attack, let’s shorten that to its acronym, EEG. But here’s what hasn’t been around for a while: it seems that one company, neuro-engineering firm Emotiv, has managed to take EEG technology into the realm of handy everyday device via a “neuro headset” that translates that brain activity into computer commands. Put differently, the headset, called the EPOC, allows the wearer to control machinery simply by thinking about, or feeling emotionally about, what he or she wants those machines to do. Whoa. “EPOC is one of the first technologies allowing machines to understand human emotion in real time,” explains Emotiv CEO Nam Do. “We felt it was time that human-computer interaction moved toward that,” say Do. The result, the EPOC, is a work of wonder.
Journey through an Underground Base Przewalski's Horse Galloping ghosts Przewalski's horses are native to a habitat called the steppe. Until 15,000 years ago, this immense and hardscrabble, sparse grassland habitat stretched from the east coast of Asia to present-day Spain and Portugal. After the last Ice Age, however, the steppe gave way to woods and forests to which Przewalski's horses weren't well adapted. By the 19th century, the few animals that remained were confined to Mongolia, southern Russia, and Poland. In the early 20th century, farmers and livestock took over good grazing lands, forcing the Przewalski's horses into areas that weren't suitable for human use. Luckily, a small number of Przewalski's horses remained, scattered about in various zoos around the world. Reintroduction efforts In 1977, the Foundation for the Preservation and Protection of the Przewalski's Horse was founded, and an exchange of animals between zoos throughout the world was started.

THE TECHNIUM AND THE 7TH KINGDOM OF LIFE [KEVIN KELLY:] The main question that I'm asking myself is, what is the meaning of technology in our lives? What place does technology have in the universe? What place does it have in the human condition? I'm trying to investigate ways to understand the long-term consequences of technology in the world and place it into some position along with other grand things like biological nature, big history, the physics of the cosmos, and the future. There's no predictive theory of technology either. There is a common sense that each novel technology brings us many new problems as well as new solutions — that it offers many things that we desire as well as many things that we want to eliminate. One of the reflex responses to technology's problems is prohibition. But even with all this, we still don't have a good sense of what technology is or how we should define it. Science and technology are intrinsically connected. The scientific method itself is not constant. One is knowing what we want.
chupacabra footage (goat sucker) Asian Wild Horse - Minnesota Zoo The domestic horse’s closest living wild relative, the Asian wild horse, disappeared entirely from the wild in the late1960s. The Minnesota Zoo and other organizations around the world have cooperated to breed zoo animals and reintroduce their offspring to native lands. Today nearly 500 Asian wild horses again roam the grasslands of China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. Asian wild horses eat coarse, shrubby plants and tall grasses. The grassy steppes of Eurasia are the Asian wild horse’s historic range, though in recent years humans have forced it to the borders of the stony, sandy Gobi desert. Asian wild horses live in small herds, with a stallion, several mares, and young animals traveling together as they roam the grasslands in search of food to eat. In the 1960s, Asian wild horses disappeared entirely from the wild.

Dream Machine 2010 Dream Machine 2010 was an exercise in PC building, overclocking, cooling—and patience So, the desktop PC will become nothing more than a truck? Well, here’s your Mack truck, Mr. Jobs, filling your rear-view mirror on Interstate 80 as you try to get that tablet-sized, Flash-less-powered toy out of the fast lane. Oops, sorry about running you over. Our take? The Power Cube: Three turned out to be the magic number for this year's Dream: three GPUs, three radiators, three grills--even the 12 cores (and 24 threads) are divisible by three. At the onset of our Dream Machine project, we were concerned. 24 threads. The simple paint job and tough-looking grills and fans on this year’s system complete the theme.
