Redshift and Distance in the Expanding Universe : Starts With A Bang BBC News - Malala Yousafzai speech in full fitness - Are small workouts worth the time? - Fitness and Nutrition - Stack Exchange Let's start at this point: Some exercise > no exercise In short, if you are doing something, anything, you will make positive steps toward fitness. Your goals are stated in this way: I'm not looking to get bigger (anti-goal, a limiter of things you are willing to do)I just want general fitness So the 5 million dollar question is: what is general fitness? Strength, the stronger you are, the better your quality of life as you can pick up heavy things, and resist injury better.Conditioning, the more conditioned you are, the better you can keep blood flowing through your body and you can have the energy you need to do what you want.Mobility, the more mobility you have, the more range of motion you have without pain. Whether you play basketball, run marathons, swim, or left weights, all of the above points help you achieve general fitness. The question isn't so much what you don't want to do, but what you are willing to do. Workout A Workout B Now, why sets of 5?
Edge : Conversations on the edge of human knowledge Exclusive Diane Ravitch Interview on No Child Left Behind Correlation vs. Causation (A Mathographic) As part of our quest to understand the Algorithm, we do a lot of correlation analysis here at SEOmoz. We tend to dive right into the deep end, so I thought it might be a good time to take a step back and talk about the absolute basics of correlation, including some warnings about causation. We’ll often say (and hear) the fallback phrase – “correlation does not imply causation”, but people rarely dig into what that means. To make this experience as pleasant as possible for the math-phobic, I drew you a picture.

Are there any other correlation-related topics you’d like to hear more about on the blog?
The Universe - Redshifts In the last section, you used SkyServer to look up redshifts of twelve galaxies. In this section, you will learn how to calculate redshifts for yourself. Astronomers learn an amazing number of things from analyzing spectra. In this section, you will focus on just one application: you will learn how to measure the redshift of a galaxy from its spectrum, and you will learn how to interpret and use the redshift. Measuring a redshift or blueshift requires four steps: 1) find the spectrum of something (usually a galaxy) that shows spectral lines2) from the pattern of lines, identify which line was created by which atom, ion, or molecule3) measure the shift of any one of those lines with respect to its expected wavelength, as measured in a laboratory on Earth4) use a formula that relates the observed shift to the object's velocity. An example will help to show how this works. The redshift is symbolized by z. 1 + z = l observed / l rest. 1 + z = 4780 / 4340.5 = 1.1, so z = 0.1. v = c z,
Dr. H.B.Danesh at the WPA - The Arab Spring: A psychosocial developmental perspective Quel programme de MUSCULATION faire avec seulement 2 haltères ? « Bonjour, je débute la musculation chez moi à la maison et je ne dispose que de deux haltères réglables de 10 kilos. Quel programme de musculation me conseillez vous ? » Le programme qui va vous être donné est très basique. En effet, avec deux haltères, vous allez être assez restreint dans le choix des exercices et par la suite être vite limité dans votre progression. L'idéal serait de rajouter à votre matériel une barre droite avec quelques rondelles de fonte pour pouvoir diversifier votre entrainement. Le site de musculation vous propose un programme full-body, idéal pour les débutants. Le programme full-body ci-dessous peut être réalisé 2 à 3 fois par semaine. Ce programme a été testé par de nombreuses personnes du forum, et les retours sont très positifs ! Séance N°1 Pectoraux : Dips, 4 séries au poids du corps avec le maximum de répétitions possible. Séance N°2 Pectoraux : Pompes, 4 séries de 15 répétitions avec les pieds surélevés (haut des pectoraux). Séance N°3 Nos conseils !
Wednesday Debate --'The Cosmic Connection' "We are like the inhabitants of an isolated valley in New Guinea who communicate with societies in neighboring valleys (quite different societies, I might add) by runner and by drum. When asked how a very advanced society will communicate, they might guess by an extremely rapid runner or by an improbably large drum. They might not guess a technology beyond their ken. "We will listen for the interstellar drums, but we will miss the interstellar cables. - Carl Sagan, "The Cosmic Connection" What do you think?

NewsAlert: NASA Discovers a Water World --A 'New Species' "Unlike Any Planet We Know Of" "GJ1214b is like no planet we know of. A huge fraction of its mass is made up of water." Zachory Berta, astronomer with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Our solar system contains three types of planets: rocky, terrestrial worlds (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn), and ice giants (Uranus and Neptune). Planets orbiting distant stars come in an even wider variety, including lava worlds and "hot Jupiters." Observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have added a new type of planet to the mix. GJ1214b was discovered in 2009 by the ground-based MEarth (pronounced "mirth") Project, which is led by CfA's David Charbonneau. In 2010, CfA scientist Jacob Bean and colleagues reported that they had measured the atmosphere of GJ1214b, finding it likely that the atmosphere was composed mainly of water. They found the spectrum of GJ1214b to be featureless over a wide range of wavelengths, or colors. The Daily Galaxy via cfa.harvard.edu and NASA
