myDAQ Protoboard Kit This kit is designed to connect directly to the National Instruments myDAQ measurement and control tool. The board consists of a prototyping space with GND and 5V rails as well as each I/O line from the myDAQ broken out to standard 0.1" pitched headers. In addition, a breadboard is included with adhesive backing which can be mounted over the prototyping area for solderless prototyping.

An Interview with an EX-Member of Matt Cutts’s Search Quality team! « James Norquay Today we have something special for the readers of JamesNorquay.com, I have an exclusive interview with Andre Weyher. I first met Andre at a Search Industry event in Sydney and was intrigued too see why some one who use to work with Matt Cutts had moved to Sydney, if he could possibly share any “secret information” and also to talk about his new project which we will also talk over. Google-Search-Quality-Member Question 1: Tell us about yourself Andre, how long did you work in the Google Search Quality team? I’ve been in Google for close to 5 years, after spending 2 years in the AdSense and AdWords teams (and some shameless self promotion) I got the chance to join Matt Cutts’s Search Quality team.

Tanganyika laughter epidemic The Tanganyika laughter epidemic of 1962 was an outbreak of mass hysteria – or mass psychogenic illness (MPI) – rumored to have occurred in or near the village of Kashasha on the western coast of Lake Victoria in the modern nation of Tanzania (formerly Tanganyika) near the border of Kenya.[1] The laughter epidemic began on January 30, 1962, at a mission-run boarding school for girls in Kashasha. The laughter started with three girls and spread haphazardly throughout the school, affecting 95 of the 159 pupils, aged 12–18.[2][3] Symptoms lasted from a few hours to 16 days in those affected.
