Improve Your Google Search Skills [Infographic] Don’t limit yourself to just plugging in simple search terms to Google; check out this infographic and learn a search string search or two. You don’t need to limit yourself to searching just for simple strings; Google supports all manner of handy search tricks. If you want to search just HowToGeek.com’s archive of XBMC articles, for example, you can plug in site:howtogeek.com XBMC to search our site. Get More Out of Google [HackCollege via Mashable] Jason Fitzpatrick is a warranty-voiding DIYer who spends his days cracking opening cases and wrestling with code so you don't have to. If it can be modded, optimized, repurposed, or torn apart for fun he's interested (and probably already at the workbench taking it apart).
Science Sites for Kids Amusement Park Physics Explores how the laws of physics play a role in the design of amusement park rides. Design a roller coaster, determine the outcome of bumper car collisions, and more. Ask Dr. Universe How do chameleons change color? When was the light bulb invented? Why can't cats and dogs be friends?

How to Figure Out What You Want in Life Image courtesy of Joiseyshowaa What do you want to be when you grow up? For some it may be a disturbing notion to consider that even in our late twenties, thirties and beyond we may still find ourselves asking this question of ourselves. Before I was ten years old I knew with naïve assurance what it was I wanted to do with my life. By the time I was twenty I was well established in the career I had decided on ten years before. Shortly after, life came along and swept the board clean. 10 Futuristic Materials Lifeboat Foundation Safeguarding Humanity Skip to content Switch to White Special Report 5 Ways To Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. All we can say is that they sound awesome, since apparently you can make your brain... #5.
Preschool science activities How to nurture your child's interest in the natural world © 2008 -2012 Gwen Dewar, Ph.D., all rights reserved Can we design better preschool science activities? Body Forces on Inclined Planes Determine force required to move a body up on an inclined plane Neglecting the friction the force required to move a body up an inclined plane can be expressed with the formula Fp = W h / l = W sin α (1) where Fp = pulling force (N, lbf) W = m g = weight of body (N, lbf) h = elevation (m, ft) l = length (m, ft) α = elevation angle (degrees) m = mass of body (kg, slugs) g = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 (m/s2) = 32.174 (ft/s2) Adding friction (1) can be modified to Top 40 Useful Sites To Learn New Skills The web is a powerful resource that can easily help you learn new skills.

Lifes Blueprints: Levis Takes a Cue From Bees To Make Stronger Jeans The discipline of biomimicry—defined by Biomimicry Institute founder Janine Benyus as "a way of seeking sustainable solutions by borrowing life's blueprints, chemical recipes, and ecosystem strategies"—has produced wind turbines shaped like whales' tails, solar panels modeled after butterfly wings, and cities and companies organized after mushrooms. Now Levi's is seeking inspiration in the way bees build their hives to improve the durability and strength of its clothes. The company recently took a multidisciplinary team of designers, technical and sustainability experts from across various departments and sent them out into the Montana wilderness with Benyus to look for ideas.
