Tiny satellite imparted by spacewalking Astronauts

August 18, 2014 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

A small research satellite was introduced on Monday by a group of astronauts, stationing a mission to observe earth.

Russian Oleg Artemiev tosses the tiny 4-inch box off using his gloved right hand while the International Space Station navigated 260m miles above the cloud-specked planet. There was a bit slide when this nanosatellite passed the neighborhood of the orbiting complex, as per the plan.

Nanosatellite was on a continuous supervision through cameras and seemed smaller as it drifted a long distance. This satellite is named Chasqui ( were nimble and highly trained runners that conveyed messages, royal delicacies such as fish and other objects throughout the Inca Empire). Alexander Skvortsov, Artemiev’s Russian spacewalking partner tried to keep focus on the satellite with the aid of the helmet camera fitted. The satellite was constantly floating away.

The satellite hardly weighs 2 pounds and supports camera that will take shots of Earth and implements to track pressure and temperature. It is a new chapter of technology to be learnt stated by National University of Engineering in Lima.

 

Set in the air less than half an hour into the spacewalk, the satellite kept flying freely. Artemis and Skvortsov were ready to implement fresh science experiments outside the Russian portion of the space station and recover the historic ones. Russian Mission Control warned to be vigilant as the astronauts were ready to migrate to their next work site. The two conducted a spacewalk in June, a few months after moving into the space station. Four other men live there: another Russian, two Americans and one German.U.S. spacewalks, meanwhile, remain on hold.

NASA hoped to restart spacewalks in this present month after a prolonged examination but postponed the task until fall to get fresh spacesuit batteries on board. The SpaceX Company will deliver the batteries on a Dragon supply ship next month. Engineers are concerned about the fuses of the on-board batteries.

The entire community loves Arthur, 94 year old

August 18, 2014 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

St. John is a 94 years old man who is one of the part time workers of the  Strathm Market Basket. He is now a senior employee due to the 22 years of services he had consecrated to that store.

On Thursday he went happily since it was his salary day, but he never expected the incident which happened to him. He received his salary check of only $7.166 which was quite surprising for him.

The store owner asked him not to come to the store next week due to the protest going on over the dismissal of Arthur T Demoulas, the chief executive. The combat going over the chief executive has disturbed his entire house.

An online fundraiser has been organized by Bonnie Gervais and his son Christian after they discovered the tragic story of St. John. People donated more than the expectation of Gervais and Christia and after some hours the bank account of that fund was filled with thousands of dollars.

Gervais is a part time worker of the same store he along with his son handed over the check to St. John. Though both of them work in Market Basket but it was the first time when Gervais met John. He cried twice in that meeting and told them that this money would help him in paying his bills.

Mostly, the regular customers of Market Basket were the people who donated money for John. They really appreciated the services of John.

Sea World takes heavy hits

August 16, 2014 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

Sea World announced on Friday, that it will build new, larger environments for its whales and will fund in additional research on animals along with a program to protect ocean health and whales in the wild. The company’s shares have dropped significantly since they made their stocks public last year. Sea World has been heavily criticized recently because of a documentary called “Blackfish” which focuses on the death of a SeaWorld trainer who died as a result of aggression from the whale. The documentary suggests that captivity is not suitable for whales, they prefer their natural habitat and since their pools are inadequate in size they become aggressive towards each other. The captivity also makes them more susceptible to violence towards humans. Since the release of the documentary, many entertainers have pulled out of planned performances at Sea Worlds parks. Sea World’s longtime partnership with Southwest Airlines is ending too and the company reported disappointing second-quarter financial results.

 

Sea World claims that under its new announcement it will build a tank with 10 million gallons of water at its San Diego park, with a depth of 50 feet. This new environment will be called the Blue World Project, and it will include more stimulation for the whales like fast water currents to swim against. The facility will be open to public in 2018 after which Sea World will start to make changes in other states. The company reported the cost to be hundreds of millions of dollars but no specifics were mentioned.

”Blackfish” director Gabriela Cowperthwaite complained that these changes are inadequate to please the public and neither will the improve the lives of the whales. She explained that whales are aggressively bred in captivity, separated from their family and consequently fight constantly for dominance. She makes the suggestion the people are upset because whales are not meant for captivity. She also suggests that Sea World should make oceanic sanctuaries which will allow the whales to live out their lives in a natural environment.

Apple and Samsung- legal battles ended outside U.S

August 16, 2014 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

Apple and Samsung the two biggest competitors have settled to leave all the court cases against each other outside the U.S.

Both the companies have claimed each other over several patent disagreement in nine countries other than U.S. these nine countries are UK, South Korea, Japan and Germany. This deal clearly states that the companies would not back out from the court cases of the United States.

Presently, Apple and Samsung are the two organizations which are the largest player in smartphones and tablet PC market. However, the companies are right now facing each other in legal fights all over the globe.

 

Apple was the first to sue Samsung in U.S after which a series of court cases started among the companies. It openly claimed that Samsung range of Galaxy smartphones and tablets are the perfect  imitation of iphone and ipad. The feature of “slide unlock” is primarily the bone of contention between two organizations. After that Samsung has also sued Apple over various issues which contain the rights of synchronize photos, music, videos and so on.

Whereas, the major legal fights are still going on in the United state of America. Lately, Apple has won two of these cases in the United States of America.

Apple wants Samsung to pay the amount of $2.2 since it broke two of its main patents. On the contrary, US court ordered Samsung to merely pay $119.6m to the company. This amount is nothing against what Apple asked. The court asked Apple as well to pay Samsung $158000 for infringing some of Samsung’s patents.

Usage of antibiotics can clutter metabolism in small children

August 16, 2014 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

A study showed that when immature mice were fed with antibiotics at an early stage of their life, they are likely to be obese, research conducted by NYU Langone Medical Center. It was discovered that when antibiotics were injected to these mice at a crucial stage of development, the bacteria found in the abdomen were altered.

It was also inferred that when these antibiotics intruded, it changed the original gastrointestinal function dampening the bacterial makeup which directly hits the metabolism of the body.

Metabolic rate plays a huge role in deciding a body structure. If the rate is high you can be thinner comparatively, but when the rate is slow, it will burn the fat at a slower rate causing obesity.

 

“During the study, it was found that when you disturb or divert the microbes present in gut in the beginning phase of mice’s life and suddenly stop the usage of antibiotics, the microbe comes to normalcy but it highly affects the metabolism of that specific host continuing lifelong stated by senior author Dr. Martin Blaser, director of the NYU Human Microbiome Program, and professor of microbiology at NYU School of medicine.

It has also highlighted some points that how microbe affects at developmental stage. It is a new notion and there is a direct evidence of it which has come into focus.

Though extensive research is going on whether this same applies to human or not. Consuming antibiotic at an early stage can lead to obesity needs some more evidence but whatsoever is the case, it should not stop the doctors in prescribing antibiotics to small children.

August 12, 2014 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

At the recent DefCon hacking conference @TeamAndIRC hacked the Blackphone, claimed to be a super secure alternative to standard smartphones. Blackphone is a joint venture between Silent Circle and Geeksphone who created the phone with the primary concern of personal data protection. Rather than having a unique OS, this phone has the Blackphone’s Private OS which is built on top of Android technology which is relatively infamous for being easy to breach. The hack comes not long after Blackphone sparred with Blackberry after the latter called the secure device “unacceptable.” DefCon took place in Las Vegas, from 7 to 10th August, 2014.

Richard Kinder makes a million in a day

August 12, 2014 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

The value of Kinder’s holdings surged by almost a million after his statement that he would consolidate his companies to grow faster. Richard Kinder’s corporate empire control a pipeline network long enough to circle the Earth three times. Bringing together Kinder’s oil storage tanks, pipelines, and natural gas processing plants together will create the biggest infrastructure company in North America. At this point the companies stand at a combined market value of $106 million.

As chairman and CEO of the company, Kinder takes $1 a year salary and gets no bonus from any of his companies. His ownership stakes in his company, however, earned him $380 million in dividends last year, which should rise under the deal. The rapid expansion of the company and division in to multiple entities had created a burden in recent years because the partnership structure siphoned off cash for investors that the company needed to grow. Kinder will unify the company in to one single stock that he can use as currency to buy out competitors.

Kinder has been behind competitors like Willams Cos. and Enterprise Products Partners LP in the last three years. Kinder generated a 73% total return compared with 221% for Williams’ investors and Enterprise’s 130% return. Richard Kinder’s personal stake alone in the company (243.1 million shares) makes him the largest investor in the company which announced its plans on Sunday to absorb its three sisters. The merger is said to be completed by the end of this year.
