AeroMobil: Flying car History of Newton's Papers (1727-1872) | Newton Project At his death on 20 March 1727,[1] Isaac Newton left papers relating to all areas of the intellectual pursuits he had followed since arriving at Trinity College, Cambridge, in the summer of 1661.[2] His friend, relative by marriage (to Newton's half-niece Catherine Barton) and successor at the Mint, John Conduitt, posted a bond for Newton's debts and claimed entitlement to this material, Newton having died intestate. As is evident from a number of manuscripts adorned with Conduitt's notes and corrections -- for example the manuscript of 'An historical account of two notable corruptions of Scripture in a Letter to a Friend' (now New College, Oxford, Ms. 361.4) -- he took a serious scholarly interest in the papers he had acquired, although this was also partly directed towards the possibility of their publication.

CoeLux Extreme Weather 2011 A year for the record books From extreme drought, heat waves and floods to unprecedented tornado outbreaks, hurricanes, wildfires and winter storms, a record 14 weather and climate disasters in 2011 each caused $1 billion or more in damages — and most regrettably, loss of human lives and property. NOAA's National Weather Service has redoubled its efforts to create a "Weather-Ready Nation", where vulnerable communities are better prepared for extreme weather and other natural disasters. NOAA forecasts, advisories, watches, warnings and community-based preparedness programs have been and will continue play an even greater role in enhancing the economy and saving lives.

Games@NOAA Khan Academy Kairos T-band Smartwatch: Best of analog-digital | Indiegogo Watches express who you are. Kairos T-band allows you to wear your favorite wristwatch while enjoying all the benefits a smartwatch can bring. Smartwatches and wearable devices (smart bands) are here to stay. It began as a simple notification extension of your smart phone. It evolved into counting your steps, calories, and sleep patterns. We are now seeing more and more app support where you can control music, turn speech to text, GPS navigation, and also remote starting your vehicle. "Watches are more than just an accessory that tells time. It holds sentimental value. It’s an asset – something you hold onto and possibly pass on. T-band. T-band ND / HD / OD: There are three models of the T-band. T-Band ND (No Display): (* T-band ND shown with KAIROS MSW 115M model) Features: On board Kairos OS will be able to push notifications such as text messages, incoming calls, and also push alerts from available apps via a discreet multi-color LED indicator and/or vibrator motor. The Perks: Light.
Science - Home Go with the Flow! Go with the Flow! Relax and go with the flow, Dude. "Go with the flow" means "Relax! Let the current of life's river carry you along." But, in life, that is not always the best way to get where you want to go. In this game, you "Go with the Flow" only after you have fixed the currents to take you where you want to go. Remember just two rules: Salt makes water heavier, so it sinks.Heat makes water lighter, so it rises. In your "current management" toolbox, you have If you have tasted the ocean, you know it is very salty. Oops, that's not quite right. If the ocean water is warmer than the lake water, the ocean water might not sink. See, it's not simple! And what goes on in the ocean is really complicated. The ocean is salty, but some parts are more salty than others. But the ocean is big. This animation shows an example of the area covered by Arctic sea ice in winter and in summer. For example, every summer, some of the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean (near the North Pole) melts.
Wildlife & Nature Videos | Clips | Photos | Programmes - itvWILD Design | WarkaWater Inspiration The Warka’s water harvesting technique and construction system are inspired by several sources. Many plants and animals have developed unique micro- and nano-scale structural features on their surfaces that enable them to collect water from the air and survive in hostile environments. By studying the Namib beetle’s shell, lotus flower leaves, spider web threads and the integrated fog collection system in cactus, we are identifying specific materials and coatings that can enhance dew condensation and water flow and storage capabilities of the mesh. The termite hives have influenced the design of Warka’s outer shell, its airflow, shape and geometry. We also looked at local cultures and vernacular architecture, incorporating traditional Ethiopian basket-weaving techniques in Warka’s design. Front View Top View How it Works The external skeleton consists of bamboo and provides structural support and holds up the mesh, collector and canopy. Characteristics Materials Elements Modularity
