The Rubik's Cube Solution How to Solve the Rubik's Cube in Seven Steps The world's most famous puzzle, simultaneously beloved and despised for it's beautiful simple complexity, the Rubiks Cube has been frustrating gamers since Erno Rubik invented it back in 1974. Over the years many brave gamers have whole-heartedly taken up the challenge to restore a mixed Rubik's cube to it's colorful and perfect original configuration, only to find the solution lingering just out of their grasp time and time again. After spending hours and days twisting and turning the vaunted cube in vain, many resorted to removing and replacing the multi-colored facelets of the cube in a dastardly attempt to cheat the seemingly infallible logic of the cube, while others simply tossed it to the side and dubbed it impossible.

Brainwave entrainment Brainwave Entrainment is any practice that aims to cause brainwave frequencies to fall into step with a periodic stimulus having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state (for example, to induce sleep), usually attempted with the use of specialized software. It purportedly depends upon a "frequency following" response on the assumption that the human brain has a tendency to change its dominant EEG frequency towards the frequency of a dominant external stimulus.[citation needed] Such a stimulus is often aural, as in the case of binaural or monaural beats and isochronic tones, or else visual, as with a dreamachine, a combination of the two with a mind machine, or even electromagnetic radiation. Hemispheric Synchronization, a potential and generally desired result of brainwave entrainment, refers to a state when the brainwave pattern of the right and left hemispheres become alike. A person with similar activity in both hemispheres is alleged[by whom?] History[edit]
The 6 Most Elaborate F-Yous From Musicians to the Industry Most musicians have to put up with record company executives being interfering dicks.

Tuesday, January 03, 2012 | Q Editors Kevin Ayers par JD Beauvallet Kevin Ayers vient de décéder à 68 ans comme il avait vécu : sur la pointe des pieds. Ce Francophone amoureux avait bien choisi son nom : Kevin Ailleurs.

10 Open Education Resources You May Not Know About (But Should) This week, the OCW Consortium is holding its annual meeting, celebrating 10 years of OpenCourseWare. The movement to make university-level content freely and openly available online began a decade ago, when the faculty at MIT agreed to put the materials from all 2,000 of the university’s courses on the Web. With that gesture, MIT OpenCourseWare helped launch an important educational movement, one that MIT President Susan Hockfield described in her opening remarks at yesterday’s meeting as both the child of technology and of a far more ancient academic tradition: “the tradition of the global intellectual commons.” We have looked here before at how OCW has shaped education in the last ten years, but in many ways much of the content that has been posted online remains very much “Web 1.0.” But as open educational resources and OCW increase in popularity and usage, there are a number of new resources out there that do offer just that.
11 Problems Music Can Solve Music is a splendid thing. It can cheer you up when you're sad, make you dance like a fool, and allow you to drown out the world when you need to.

Good Horror Movies Every Fan Has To See If you ask people on the street for some suggestions of a great horror movie, odds are you'd get a wide range of answers. You’d get everything from the scariest slasher film to horror comedies and even b-rated horror movies that barely classify for the genre. Because we all have a different capacity for being scared and our own unique reasons for watching horror films, we of course have varying tolerances for gore and suspenseful movies[2]. Storytelling is an art form and the best stories share a hero, his struggles, and the ultimate victory of the hero over the villain. Great horror movies drag out the suspense until the end[1], sometimes never concluding with victory. The most successful horror franchises are masterful at drawing the suspense to the next movie, where the hero will finally be able to overcome the villain.
The free five minute personality test! Your Existing Situation "Inclined to choose luxurious things, which are gratifying to the senses. Turned off by things which are tacky and tasteless." How to Access the BBC iPlayer (and TV Like Doctor Who) from Outside the U.K. @theoldwolf: The reason for geographical barriers on TV is international licensing deals. These more often than not DO NOT include online licenses, but precisely because of that, it is also stipulated that the content will not be made available online on the territory for which the license is sold. So, for instance, French TV will buy Lost's last season and the contract will say that nobody, ABC included, can distribute Lost in France online.
