Cloud Atlas Extended Trailer #1 (2012) - Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Wachowski Movie HD

The NeverEnding Story (film) The book describes the fantasy world of Fantasia which is being threatened by a force called "The Nothing," a void of darkness that consumes everything. The Childlike Empress (Tami Stronach), who rules over Fantasia from the Ivory Tower, has fallen ill due to the Nothing, and she has summoned Atreyu (Noah Hathaway), a young warrior from the Plains People, to discover the means to end the Nothing. Atreyu is given AURYN, a medallion to protect and guide him. Atreyu's quest directs him to an ancient being called Morla that resides in the Swamps of Sadness. Atreyu attempts to trek through the Swamps but even AURYN cannot protect him indefinitely. The two try to locate the boundary of Fantasia, but the power of the Nothing has grown, and Atreyu is knocked from Falkor's back into the Sea of Possibilities, losing AURYN in the process. When Atreyu recovers, he finds they are flying in a black void with the only remnants of Fantasia floating around. Notes

After I watched Cloud Atlas Tardigrade Tardigrades (also known as waterbears or moss piglets)[2][3][4] are water-dwelling, segmented micro-animals, with eight legs.[2] They were first described by the German pastor Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773. The name Tardigrada (meaning "slow stepper") was given three years later by the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani.[5] Since 1778, over 1,150 tardigrade species have been identified. Tardigrades are classified as extremophiles, organisms that can thrive in a physically or geochemically extreme condition that would be detrimental to most life on Earth.[6][7][3] For example, tardigrades can withstand temperatures from just above absolute zero to well above the boiling point of water, pressures about six times greater than those found in the deepest ocean trenches, ionizing radiation at doses hundreds of times higher than the lethal dose for a human, and the vacuum of outer space. Tardigrades form the phylum Tardigrada, part of the superphylum Ecdysozoa. Description[edit]

The Reality of a Developer's Life - in GIFs, Of Course I'm going to try to illustrate the reality of a developer's life. This post is a translation of another post written in Spanish. When you upload something to the production environment: When you solve a problem without Googling: When you close your IDE without saving the code: When you try to fix a bug at 3AM: When your regular expression returns what you expect: When my boss told me that the module I've been working on will never be used: When I show my boss that I've fixed a bug: When I upload a code without tests and it works as expected: When marketing folks show developers what they've sold: The first time you apply a CSS to a web page: When the sysadmin gives you root access: When you run your script the first time after several hours working on it: When you go on weekend and everyone else is at the office trying to fix all the issues: When your boss finds someone to fix a critical bug: When you receive extra pay if your project ends before deadline: When you develop without specifications:

Micro-animal Micro-animals are animals that are microscopic and thus cannot be seen with the naked eye and can only be observed under a microscope. Mostly these microorganisms are multicellular but none are vertebrates. Microscopic arthropods include dust mites, spider mites, and some crustaceans such as copepods and the cladocera. "The" way vs "a" way (Japan v China dept) - James Fallows This is not a scientific comparison, but when i saw one scene I remembered another. This is the recent scene: yesterday afternoon, Naha airport, Okinawa, Japan. Line crew gassing up a Cirrus SR22: Details to notice below: crew identically dressed in company uniform; complete safety gear -- hardhats, reflective chest straps with procedural checklist clipped on, puffy protective cuff to shield the plane's wing from damage. Now, the scene I remembered and mentioned last year: Refueling the same kind of plane in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province, China. With usual caveats against sweeping generalization, what this made me think was: Japan is all about the way of doing things. (Yeah yeah yeah, there are exceptions: perfectionist operations in China, loosey-goosey ones in Japan. At the moment, I am feeling positive toward both approaches. But when it comes to refueling the plane....
