SPACE ELEVATORS

The LiftPort Group, a US-based privately-owned company, with former NASA researcher Michael Laine at the head, is planning to build a space elevator to the Moon. The idea of a space elevator stipulates a rocket-free way to transport people and cargoes into orbit with the use of a special cable.

The California-based company founded by former NASA engineer has developed a cheap and easy way to get to the lunar surface. The project is based on a special ribbon cable, on which transport modules and autonomous robots will travel. At first, the researchers plan to test the system on the planet: the test elevator will be 2 kilometers high. Afterwards, a working system will be built. Initially, the company will use a space elevator to connect the Moon with a specially designed space station. The station will then be connected to a platform on Earth.  The space elevator, scientists say will take eight years to build.

What Is a Quantum Computer?

 A quantum computer is a computer design which uses the principles of quantum physics to increase the computational power beyond what is attainable by a traditional computer. Quantum computers have been built on the small scale and work continues to upgrade them to more practical models.

A quantum computer, on the other hand, would store information as either a 1, 0, or a quantum superposition of the two states. Such a "quantum bit," called a qubit, allows for far greater flexibility than the binary system.

A MEMORY IMPLANT TECHNIQUE THAT COULD HELP RESTORE MEMORIES !!!

The research is focused on the hippocampus, where short-term memories are solidified into long-term ones by the movement of electrical signals through neurons.

Theodore Berger, a biomedical engineer and neuroscientist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, envisions a day in  the not too distant future when a patient with severe memory loss can get help from an electronic implant.

In people whose brains have suffered damage from Alzheimer’s, stroke, or injury, disrupted neuronal networks often prevent long-term memories from forming. For more than two decades, Berger has designed silicon chips to mimic the signal processing that those neurons do when they’re functioning properly—the work that allows us to recall experiences and knowledge for more than a minute. Ultimately, Berger wants to restore the ability to create long-term memories by implanting chips like these in the brain.

Harvard creates brain-to-brain interface, allows humans to control other animals with thoughts alone

 Researchers at Harvard University have created the first noninvasive brain-to-brain interface (BBI) between a human… and a rat.
Simply by thinking the appropriate thought, the BBI allows the human to control the rat’s tail.

 

  This is one of the most important steps towards
BBIs that allow for telepathic links between two or more humans — which is a good thing in the case of friends and family, but terrifying if you stop to think about the nefarious possibilities of a fascist dictatorship with mind control tech.

TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION..?

 
Technology education is the study of technology, in which students "learn about the processes and knowledge related to technology".

 
As a field of study, it covers the human ability to shape and change the physical world to meet needs, by manipulating materials and tools with techniques.  






The word technology refers to the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools,machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a preexisting solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation or perform a specific function.





 Learn how you can use Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites to engage students, teach digital citizenship, and more: http://edut.to/XU0ipw.

11 Mobile Website Design Best Practices for Nonprofits-Part-2

4. Limit Your “About Us” Content to One Page
Create one page that summarizes your “About Us” content. This is where you give shortened versions of your history, your programs, and important milestones you have achieved. You can have three or four small photos on this page to give it some color and make it more interesting, but in general, people are not interested in reading Web 1.0 content on a mobile website.

5. Link to Your Social Networking Profiles
This is a big one! Link to your Facebook Page, Twitter Profile, YouTube Channel, Flickr Photostream, etc. This allows your mobile visitors to like, follow, and subscribe easily, as well as browse status updates, tweets, and your most recent videos and photos. Download small social media icons and work them into the design so that they are visible on every page of your mobile website. Ideally, they should be featured at the top of your mobile website, since a lot of scrolling is required to view the bottom of pages on your mobile website. Also, be sure to link to your Facebook Places and Foursquare Pages for easy check-ins and participation.

6. Feature Group Text Alerts and E-newsletter “Subscribe” Functionality
Good online fundraisers know that you must build your lists at every opportunity. Be sure to feature the ability to subscribe to your e-newsletter and group text campaigns on every page of your mobile website. This can either be worked into the navigation of your mobile website or added to the “Take Action” or “Get Involved” page. There are also e-newsletter and text icons available through most icon portals, like IconsPedia.com and IconDock.com, that can be placed next to your social networking icons. The number of people who regularly check their e-mail on mobile devices is rising steadily, so subscribing to an e-newsletter on a mobile website is definitely within the realm of possibility.

7. Feature a “Donate Now” Page That Is Optimized for Mobile Use
It’s highly unlikely that a donor will take the time and effort to fill out a donation form that is formatted for desktop viewing. Until online giving portals offer mobile “Donate Now” pages in addition to desktop “Donate Now” pages, you will have to hard-code this page or use PayPal or Google Checkout. It’s likely that many vendors will begin to offer “Donate Now” pages and other tools optimized for mobile browsing in the coming years. As more become available, these will become easier and more affordable.

8. Feature “Text-to-Give Now” Functionality, if Applicable
If your nonprofit is utilizing text-to-give technology, you should include “Text-to-Give Now” mobile pages that allow donors to simply enter their phone number to make a donation. You will have to either hard-code this page yourself or use a text-to-give vendor that offers the service.

9. Feature E-advocacy Campaigns
Signing petitions and participating in e-mail action alerts on mobile websites has a bright future. Currently, they have to be hard-coded, but it’s just a matter of time until services like Change.org and Care2 offer mobile optimized advocacy tools. It’s also likely that new vendors specializing in mobile e-advocacy will be launched in the coming years, as well as Convio, Blackbaud, and Democracy In Action building upon the e-advocacy services that they already offer. When these tools become available and affordable, you’ll want to feature your e-advocacy campaigns on your mobile website so that people can easily “Take Action.” This is a trend to monitor closely. A Canadian nonprofit called the Big Wild pioneered mobile e-advocacy through the use of a QR code. After people scanned the code, they were sent to a mobile petition to “Keep the Restigouche Watershed Wild” that could be easily signed and sent to government officials.
10. Incorporate Video into Your Mobile Website
Like all things mobile, mobile video consumption is soaring. That said, take screenshots of your best videos and incorporate them into your “About Us” or “Get Involved” page on your mobile website. They should be shrunk to 320 pixels in width and link directly to the mobile version of the video on YouTube.

11. Promote Your Mobile Website in Print Materials, on Your Website and Your Blog, and in Your Social Networking Communities
As with any other Web-based campaign, you need to promote your mobile website. Write a short blurb about your new mobile website and ask supporters to “Bookmark Your Mobile Browser!” Publish the blurb in your print newsletter, link to it on your website and on your blog, and mention it to your social networking communities. Initially, most of your mobile website traffic will come from links in text alerts and QR codes, but as mobile browsing continues to soar, much of it will come across your mobile website the old-fashioned way—through Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Opera Mini, and Safari searches conducted on smartphones.
