The Street Lawyer

In a very prestigious law firm, where he was surrounded daily by street people and in a clear state of miserability, something happened that would surprise all the usual workers of this place,  A person is inside the building with a firearm with which intimidates several people of this place with the sole purpose of causing damages, He went to the elevator and there he met one of the usual lawyers of this place in the race to become a partner and threatened him with his gun demanding that he had to take him to wherever he would arrange it, in those he tells the lawyer to open a door In which were eight prestigious lawyers, One of them partner of the firm, immediately that kidnapper threatened with his weapon to all present and forced them to close the door with safety and began to point each of them with his gun to show that he had control.
Once in the room I ordered one of the victims casually who was in an elevator, to tie them all with a rope so they could not escape, I immediately told him that they had to be all against the wall And the person who moved would kill him without thinking. All those present were aware of the seriousness of the situation and without a word they paid attention to everything this character told them. One of them tried to start a conversation with the kidnapper asking him what he needed and called him friend, which annoyed the kidnapper very much and immediately shot his gun over his head and indicating that he was not his friend, That the person who was tying them to the wrists aptly asked him how he wished to be called, and he indicated that they could call him sir.
From that moment that was the way to call it among the kidnapped.
The kidnapped sat in one of the chairs of the room and was only in complete silence for at least hours afterwards to ask questions of each of the lawyers, stating that if they made donations to benefic entities for people with limited resources, The same asked the clinics, and ordered him to bring all the respective documentation of tax returns because he wanted to know that they were contributing for the benefit of the poor.
Once I had the physical information, I began to ask about the amount of money that each of them accrued yearly and monthly, and I repeated the question that of all that salary was destined for charity sites, the answers that each one of These lawyers gave him, they denied that it was not very high contribution to these sites since they all earned a total of 3 million dollars and only contributed together a little more than 150,000 dollars which had Lord very angry, and To know that one of the kidnapped was one of the partners of the bufette, began to threaten him with his gun and playing with her, in those Lord asked to bring them food because he was hungry, and was sent food for the 9 kidnapped and the .
In these is sent the food they asked for and orders one of the lawyers to enter the Comiade, when bending down to enter it, a shot is heard and immediately falls Lord to the floor fulminated, and making a pool of blood and brains all over. The gun that had fallen to the side and the vest full of explosives was not activated but they were all in a hurry to leave the room as they feared that it was going to explode the bomb and that they were all there. The only one who did not go running was the person who opened the door because he fell all the blood and brains of the kidnapper, after he reacts he walks out and is taken to a null place where he is given rigorous Know that it is harmless. Once he is out of danger, the secretary arrives for him and takes him to the house, this one asks for his wife who is in the hospital and could not be contacted by his nurse, the secretary tells him that he will take him to the house to rest And can be reassured, but this sorry and a little gone only responds that thanks in a low voice, once in the house the lawyer waits with a bottle of wine to arrive his wife wanting to claim him because he had not communicated and directed As the other relatives to the place, this explains that they did not give permission to leave and forced to be available to receive in case of some event to the injured on their turn since that is the protocol in this type of events.
The effect of the chemical substances lasted until four o'clock in the morning, when he woke up and was claire next to him, he told him everything he remembered as soon as he got up, on the news was talked about Mr. Devon Hardy was the beggar That he had tried to kill him. Before he left work I tell Claire that he would call her at 12 to go out to have lunch, when the return to work went to look at the site of the facts but it was valid that everything was in order had changed the carpet and painted the boardroom , When I returned to my office, I used information from Devon, and on this information I found that I had recently been evicted from an old warehouse, so he wanted to know which of all the lawyers had left Devon on the street, Polly the secretary and announced that Arthur Jacobs was needing it, the answer was called and Arthur indicated that they will meet him and the other people who were in incident to make a recording of the happened and I say yes to Jacobs. He could not find a way to be well at work and I told Polly that he had to do some errands and she reminded him of Jacobs meeting, He directed himself to drive through the city and called his wife Claire and they told him that he was in an emergency, at that moment I went to the fourteenth street, I found a yellow house and the door was not closed, I turned the car very slowly Pulled and entered, at that moment I saw that it was a lawyers' area and I realized that it was the mordercai greeen office, he asked the secretary sofia if he was, I noticed that Green was a gigantic black of more than one Ninety-five, when I entered to talk to Green, I asked him if he knew Devon Hardy, he told me that Devon was the only one who told me that if Devon had AIDS and he said he did not know, he did not want to do more And retired from the office.

After leaving Mordecai he went all over the city, when he called Polly minutes later, asking where he was, and he told him that he was in the office and decided to go to the apartment to think clearly many things of what happened, after that I decided to go to my parents.

Abstract: The 39 Steps

After so many inconveniences that Mr. Hannay had to go through, trying to get to the prime minister and taking into account that they were waiting or looking for the person who was spying on them, he took the trouble to go to the house of the prime minister To unmask this subject, but on the way had a series of setbacks as everyone suspected him, even on one occasion had to beat a stranger because he was pointing to him as a murderer, which was clearly false, then a police officer He was leading the commissary, but Mr. Hannay was not about to let that happen, and he beat the policeman and others with him, and went to the Prime Minister's house.
When he arrived he was attended by the butler, who explained the situation, and what he needed to tell the prime minister, also warned that there was a mob following him because of what happened before, the butler made him enter and took him to a place where he could Wait for him as he left the meeting. At that moment a person came out of the meeting, who identified himself as Mr. Allos, who saw him and went straight on, at that moment, Mr. Hannay calls the house of Mr. Allos and the butler answers him saying that this is He was sick and in bed, so he immediately burst into the room where five people were gathered, Sir Walter, the war prime minister, Sir Arthur Drew, General Winstanley and Whittaker. At that moment they informed him that they were very busy that he should not break into the meeting in that way, and he replied his enemies were also, and one just left the room, to which they replied that it was Sir Allos, and the Replied that this was not Sir Allos, since he had called Sir Alloa’s house a short time ago and the butler informed him that he was sick and could not get out of bed. The person who just left Is the spy and immediately everyone present in the room were so frightened that fear could be seen in their eyes.

NASA finds unusual origins of high-energy electrons




High above the surface, Earth's magnetic field constantly deflects incoming supersonic particles from the sun. These particles are disturbed in regions just outside of Earth's magnetic field - and some are reflected into a turbulent region called the foreshock. New observations from NASA's THEMIS mission show that this turbulent region can accelerate electrons up to speeds approaching the speed of light. Such extremely fast particles have been observed in near-Earth space and many other places in the universe, but the mechanisms that accelerate them have not yet been concretely understood.
The new results provide the first steps towards an answer, while opening up more questions. The research finds electrons can be accelerated to extremely high speeds in a region farther from Earth than previously thought possible - leading to new inquiries about what causes the acceleration. These findings may change the accepted theories on how electrons can be accelerated not only in shocks near Earth, but also throughout the universe. Having a better understanding of how particles are energized will help scientists and engineers better equip spacecraft and astronauts to deal with these particles, which can cause equipment to malfunction and affect space travelers.
"This affects pretty much every field that deals with high-energy particles, from studies of cosmic rays to solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which have the potential to damage satellites and affect astronauts on expeditions to Mars," said Lynn Wilson, lead author of the paper on these results at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
The results, published in Physical Review Letters on Nov. 14, 2016, describe how such particles may get accelerated in specific regions just beyond Earth's magnetic field. Typically, a particle streaming toward Earth first encounters a boundary region known as the bow shock, which forms a protective barrier between the sun and Earth. The magnetic field in the bow shock slows the particles, causing most to be deflected away from Earth, though some are reflected back towards the sun. These reflected particles form a region of electrons and ions called the foreshock region.
Some of those particles in the foreshock region are highly energetic, fast moving electrons and ions. Historically, scientists have thought one way these particles get to such high energies is by bouncing back and forth across the bow shock, gaining a little extra energy from each collision. However, the new observations suggest the particles can also gain energy through electromagnetic activity in the foreshock region itself.
The observations that led to this discovery were taken from one of the THEMIS - short for Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms - mission satellites. The five THEMIS satellites circled Earth to study how the planet's magnetosphere captured and released solar wind energy, in order to understand what initiates the geomagnetic substorms that cause aurora. The THEMIS orbits took the spacecraft across the foreshock boundary regions. The primary THEMIS mission concluded successfully in 2010 and now two of the satellites collect data in orbit around the moon.




Operating between the sun and Earth, the spacecraft found electrons accelerated to extremely high energies. The accelerated observations lasted less than a minute, but were much higher than the average energy of particles in the region, and much higher than can be explained by collisions alone. Simultaneous observations from the Wind and STEREO spacecraft showed no solar radio bursts or interplanetary shocks, so the high-energy electrons did not originate from solar activity.
"This is a puzzling case because we're seeing energetic electrons where we don't think they should be, and no model fits them," said David Sibeck, co-author and THEMIS project scientist at NASA Goddard. "There is a gap in our knowledge, something basic is missing."
The electrons also could not have originated from the bow shock, as had been previously thought. If the electrons were accelerated in the bow shock, they would have a preferred movement direction and location - in line with the magnetic field and moving away from the bow shock in a small, specific region. However, the observed electrons were moving in all directions, not just along magnetic field lines. Additionally, the bow shock can only produce energies at roughly one tenth of the observed electrons' energies. Instead, the cause of the electrons' acceleration was found to be within the foreshock region itself.
"It seems to suggest that incredibly small scale things are doing this because the large scale stuff can't explain it," Wilson said.
High-energy particles have been observed in the foreshock region for more than 50 years, but until now, no one had seen the high-energy electrons originate from within the foreshock region. This is partially due to the short timescale on which the electrons are accelerated, as previous observations had averaged over several minutes, which may have hidden any event. THEMIS gathers observations much more quickly, making it uniquely able to see the particles.
Next, the researchers intend to gather more observations from THEMIS to determine the specific mechanism behind the electrons' acceleration.

It's very intresting

Record Supermoon and 9 More Can't-Miss Sky Events in November





A supermoon hangs near the horizon in the night sky. The supermoon that will rise on November 14 will be the biggest seen since 1948.

Moon and Saturn—November 2

About an hour after local sunset, catch the razor-thin crescent moon hanging over Saturn. The cosmic pair will appear less than three degrees apart, or less than the width of your three middle fingers held at arm’s length. Adding to the sky spectacle, superbright Venus will join the pair to the left.





Moon and Mars—November 5

After sunset this day and the next, look for the crescent moon to park itself next to the red planet. Earth’s lone natural satellite will start off to the right of Mars, and it will rise above the planet the following day.

Taurid Meteor Shower—November 11

Late night and the following morning, the Taurid meteor shower will peak. The individual meteors appear to radiate from the shower's namesake constellation, Taurus, the bull, which will be riding high in the south during the overnight hours for mid-northern latitude regions. Sky-watchers away from city lights may see as many as 10 to 15 shooting stars an hour, peaking at around 5 a.m. local time on November 11.


Super-Duper Moon—November 14

The second in a triad of supermoons—when the full moon makes a close approach to Earth—will rise in the east after sunset. While the last three months of 2016 each boast a supermoon, this month’s full moon will be the largest and closest to Earth since 1948, making it a truly beautiful sight to behold. Stay tuned for a full viewer’s guide, and get ready to submit your best supermoon pictures to National Geographic Your Shot.

Bull’s-Eye—November 15

Late night on November 15 and 16, look for the moon to be stationed near the eye of the constellation Taurus, the bull. That eye is really the red giant star Aldebaran, which sits 67 light-years from Earth. Meanwhile, lucky sky-watchers in the Middle East and across central Asia to Japan will be in the best positions to see the moon occult, or eclipse, Aldebaran during the night of the 15th.

Leonid Meteor Shower—November 16

Look up late at night and into the early morning hours of the 17th for a flurry of shooting stars during the peak of the annual Leonid meteor shower. With the waning gibbous moon ducking under the local horizon after local midnight, the best views will be in the early morning hours of the 16th, with as many as 10 to 20 shooting stars an hour visible from the dark countryside. Individual meteors will appear to originate from the shower’s namesake constellation, Leo, which rises in the east in the predawn hours this time of the year.


Buzzing the Beehive—November 18

Look east late at night for the waning gibbous moon to make a close pass of the famous Beehive open star cluster, also known as Messier 44. Using binoculars, you can scan the sky to the upper right of the moon for the thousand-star strong cluster, located 610 light-years from Earth. The next night, the moon will slip underneath the Beehive.





Lion’s Heart—November 21

Look toward the southeastern sky in the early morning hours for the crescent moon snuggling up next to the constellation Leo’s heart: the bright star Regulus. The cosmic pair will be quite stunning to the unaided eyes, with the two objects separated by just over a degree, equal to the width of your thumb held at arm’s length.



Mercury Meets Saturn—November 23

As a great observing challenge, use binoculars to try and spot faint, star-like Saturn next to Mercury. Both planets will be tricky to find in the glare of the sunset and will need a viewing location that has an absolutely clear line of sight to the southwest horizon.



Moon and Jupiter—November 25

About an hour before local sunrise, look southeast for the thin crescent moon hanging below the king of all planets, Jupiter. The pair will be particularly striking, since they will appear less than two degrees apart, equal to the span of just four lunar disks in the sky.

Clear skies!


Astronomy’s next big space telescope could threaten the field, panel warns



U.S. astronomers are wary that their next big space telescope, a mission to study cosmic acceleration and exoplanets, could balloon in cost and scope just like the budget-busting $8 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). So says a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine panel tasked with taking the temperature of the field midway between “decadal surveys”—the regular reports in which astronomers list their funding priorities for the next 10 years. Given the recent success in detecting gravitational waves, the panel also says the United States should rejoin a partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) to build the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a mission to study gravitational waves in space.

“The community very much wants to see LISA go forward,” says panel chair Jacqueline Hewitt, an astronomer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. “The partnership [with ESA] dissolved, but it will have to be rebuilt,” she says.

Overall, the panel was pleased with progress made on a variety of scientific fronts, particularly in the study of exoplanets and gravitational waves. But they worried that stagnant budgets at the field’s main funding agencies—the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA—along with pressure from overspending on large projects like the JWST are threatening many of astronomers’ most sought-after projects. “Budgets have been different from what we assumed” in 2010, she adds.

The 14-member panel reviewed progress in the priorities set by the 2010 decadal survey known as New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics as well as recent scientific successes. It highlights the first detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, and notes the advances made in the study of exoplanets, much of it made possible by NASA’s Kepler spacecraft, which revealed the ubiquity and rich diversity of planetary systems. “No one expected the exoplanet field to burgeon in the way it has,” Hewitt says.

There have also been notable successes in new facilities. The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, built in collaboration with Europe and Japan in northern Chile, is nearing completion and has already notched up some significant observations. Others, including the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, the JWST, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, are on track to come into operation over the next few years.

Some of the highest priorities identified in the 2010 survey, however, have been delayed, reduced in scope, or canceled altogether, the panel notes. This is partly because of flat budgets that were not forecast when the 2010 decadal report was drawn up. The astronomy budget at NSF has been steady in real-year dollars which, with its commitments to large new facilities, has meant that funding for medium-scale projects and individual investigators has been squeezed. At NASA’s astrophysics division, budgets have kept pace with inflation, but the increasing costs of the JWST have delayed the funding of new projects by up to 5 years and reduced the number of midsized Explorer missions being commissioned.

Hewitt says that the community is concerned about large projects squeezing out smaller ones and that both NSF and NASA need balance in their programs. “It doesn’t make sense to invest in amazing facilities and not to have the money to do science,” she says. The report suggests that NSF should divest from older facilities with “lower scientific impact” to free up funding for individual astronomers. NSF has conducted reviews of its ground-based facilities in 2006 and 2012, and has recommended closures to observatories such as the Arecibo radio telescope, but astronomers have resisted some of those moves.

The suggested projects that have suffered because of tighter budgets include two of the largest planned telescopes on the books, the Giant Magellan Telescope and the Thirty Meter Telescope. The 2010 survey suggested NSF should support one of them but the agency has been unable to do so. (They are both progressing with private and international backers, but neither is fully funded.) A millimeter-wave survey telescope known as the Cerro Chajnantor Atacama Telescope was not funded by NSF. NASA pulled out of collaborations with ESA to build LISA and the International X-ray Observatory. ESA is proceeding with scaled-down versions of both projects (dubbed the Evolved LISA and Athena).

The 2010 survey’s top-ranked space project for the decade was the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), which was first developed to measure cosmic acceleration, but over time became more of a multipurpose telescope that would also study the demographics of exoplanets, and survey the galactic plane of the Milky Way. WFIRST did get the go-ahead this year (3 years later than expected) for launch in 2025 (5 years late)—delays that were due to the JWST’s budget problems.

Although the panel welcomed this advance, it urged caution from NASA in case the mission goes the same way as its predecessor—the JWST—with cost and schedule ballooning out of control and threatening other projects. Since winning the endorsement of the 2010 survey, WFIRST has acquired a new, larger mirror; larger detectors; and a coronagraph (a device to block out the light of a star so its planets can be seen directly)—add-ons that will probably add to its more than $2 billion cost. “NASA needs to manage it very carefully,” Hewitt says. “Tremendous advances are being made in exoplanets, but some other areas may suffer” if costs get out of control, she says.

In addition to its call to rejoin the LISA project, the panel also advocates NASA taking a role in ESA’s x-ray mission Athena and calls on the agency to beef up its midsized Explorer program. “I hope we can make those happen,” Hewitt says.

NASA’s NavCube Could Support an X-ray Communications Demonstration in Space — A NASA First

Two proven technologies have been combined to create a promising new technology that could meet future navigational challenges in deep space. It also may help demonstrate — for the first time — X-ray communications in space, a capability that would allow the transmission of gigabits per second throughout the solar system.
The new technology, called NavCube, combines NASA’s SpaceCube, a reconfigurable and fast flight computing platform, with the Navigator Global Positioning System (GPS) flight receiver. Navigator GPS uses the GPS signal to enable on-board autonomous positioning, navigation, and timing even in weak-signal areas. Considered one of the enabling technologies on the agency’s flagship Magnetospheric Multi-Scale (MMS) mission, Navigator GPS recently was included in the Guiness World Records for the highest-altitude GPS fix.
“NavCube is more flexible than previous Navigators because of its ample computational resources. Also, because we added the ability to process modernized GPS signals, NavCube has the potential to significantly enhance performance at low, and especially, high altitudes, potentially even to the area of space near the moon and lunar orbits,” said Luke Winternitz, Navigator’s chief architect.
“This new product is a poster child for our research and development efforts,” added Peter Hughes, the chief technology officer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, whose organization funded the development of all three technologies and named the NavCube team as this year’s winner of his organization’s “Innovators of the Year” award. “Both SpaceCube and Navigator already proved their value to NASA. Now the combination of the two gives NASA another tool. Also, the possibility that it might help demonstrate X-ray communications in space — a technology in which we also have interest — is particularly exciting.”
This promising technology is slated to fly as one of several experiments on an external pallet to be deployed on the International Space Station in 2018. One NavCube unit will demonstrate its navigation and processing capabilities afforded by the merger of its technological parents, while the other could potentially provide precise timing data for an experiment demonstrating X-ray communications, or XCOM.
“A Match Made in Heaven”

As part of the potential XCOM demonstration, NavCube will drive the electronics for a device called the Modulated X-ray Source, or MXS, which generates rapid-fire X-ray pulses, turning on and off many times per second. These rapid-fire pulsations can be used to encode digital bits for transmitting data. It was developed as a testbed to validate NASA’s Neutron-star Interior Composition Explorer, or NICER, which primarily will study neutron stars and their rapidly spinning next-of-kin, pulsars, when it launches as an attached space station payload in 2017.
XCOM is one of two technology demonstrations that NICER Principal Investigators Keith Gendreau and Zaven Arzoumanian want to demonstrate with NICER. To demonstrate one-way XCOM, the team will install MXS on the experiment pallet where it will transmit data via X-rays to NICER’s receivers positioned 166 feet away on the opposite side of the space station truss.
NavCube’s job is to run MXS’s on-and-off switch, said Jason Mitchell, an engineer at Goddard who helped advance the MXS. Because NavCube combines SpaceCube’s high-speed computing with Navigator’s ability to track GPS signals, the team also wants to experiment with X-ray ranging, a technique for measuring distances between two objects.
 “NavCube provided the best solution for running this experiment,” Mitchell said. “The combination of these powerful technologies was a marriage made in heaven.”
Although most of the technology is ready, the team still is seeking additional funding to complete a space-ready MXS, including its housing and high-voltage power supply. “We have most of the hardware, but need a little more support to complete the XCOM package,” said Jenny Donaldson, who is leading the development of the NavCube payload. “This is a great opportunity to demonstrate NavCube and, if all things go as planned, X-ray communications,” she said.

Pretty beautiful and easy to learn


Here some jokes

Question: Why are blonde jokes so short? Answer: So men can remember them wissen.

Chuck Norris will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him. 

Is there really a planet X??


Have you heard there’s a giant planet in the Solar System headed straight towards Earth?

At some point in the next few months or years, this thing is going to crash into Earth or flip our poles, or push us out of our orbit, or some other horrible civilization destroying disaster.

Are these rumours true?

Is there a Planet X on a collision course with Earth?

Unlike some of the answers science gives us, where we need to give a vague and nuanced answers, like yes AND no, or Maybe, well, it depends…

I’m glad to give a straight answer: No.

Any large object moving towards the inner Solar System would be one of the brightest objects in the night sky. It would mess up the orbits of the other planets and asteroids that astronomers carefully observe every night.

There are millions of amateur astronomers taking high quality images of the night sky. If something was out there, they’d see it.

These rumours have been popping up on the internet for more than a decade now, and I’m sure we’ll still be debunking them decades from now.

What people are calling Planet X, or Nibiru, or Wormwood, or whatever doesn’t exist. But is it possible that there are large, undiscovered objects out in the furthest reaches of Solar System?

Sure.

Astronomers have been searching for Planet X for more than a hundred years. In the 1840s, the French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier calculated that another large planet must be perturbing the orbit of Uranus. He predicted the location where this planet would be, and then German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle used those coordinates to discover Neptune right where Le Verrier predicted.

The famed astronomer Percival Lowell died searching for the next planet in the Solar System, but he made a few calculations about where it might be found.

And in 1930, Clyde William Tombaugh successfully discovered Pluto in one of the locations predicted by Lowell.
Astronomers continued searching for additional large objects, but it wasn’t until 2005 that another object the size of Pluto was finally discovered by Mike Brown and his team from Caltech: Eris. Brown and his team also turned up several other large icy objects in the Kuiper Belt; many of which have been designated dwarf planets.

We haven’t discovered any other large objects yet, but there might be clues that they’re out there.

In 2012, the Brazilian astronomer Rodney Gomes calculated the orbits of objects in the Kuiper Belt and found irregularities in the orbits of 6 objects. This suggests that a larger object is further out, tugging at their orbits. It could be a Mars-sized object 8.5 billion km away, or a Neptune-sized object 225 billion km away.

There’s another region at the edge of the Solar System called the Oort Cloud. This is the source of the long-period comets that occasionally visit the inner Solar System. It’s possible that large planets are perturbing the orbits of comets with their gravity, nudging these comets in our direction.
So, feel free to ignore every single scary video and website that says an encounter with Planet X is coming.

And use that time you saved from worrying, and use it to appreciate the amazing discoveries being made in space and astronomy every day.

The attitude



The attitude is else we needed all days,
to relate to other people at work.
To perform simple tasks to the most complicated, which is why you should have a good attitude when doing simple things like what is teamwork, because without a good communication would we do a bad job or we would cause an accident due to lack of communication.
A good attitude makes the difference in a work environment, so they are much more efficient the work to be carried out.

Artificial Intelligence

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced that so-called chatbots would soon appear in the company's Messenger app.

Chatbots are small software programs based on artificial intelligence and can communicate with people. They will change the way we receive information. A chatbot, for example, can talk to a customer, order items or listen to complaints. It can answer questions, solve complicated problems or make appointments. It's like talking to a robot. As time goes on chatbots will be able to learn, based on the experience they have .

Facebook's Messenger is an extremely popular piece of communication software, used by 900 million people around the world. With its announcement users will be able to develop their own chatbots and use them in Messenger. People can then send a message to a bot which will know what to do depending on the situation.

While internet experts say that chatbots can be a big advantage, there are those who see risks. There is no way we can monitor every action that chatbots carry out. Others think that such bots may encourage you to do things that you really wouldn't want to do, like open a new website or install new apps.

However, bots are still in a developing stage. As time goes on their performance will improve and, in time ,  they will become your personal assistant that can help you in any situation.


Scientists Create Asgardia, the First Ever Nation in Space, and You Can Join


If you had enough of the often-depressing world events and the seemingly unresolvable conflicts they engender, you might want to head for space and join the first-ever “nation state in space” that’s been announced by a team of scientists and legal experts. It’s called Asgardia and anyone can become its citizen.

As the site for the project explains, Asgardia is a name that comes from Norse mythology, where Asgard was the name of a city in the sky. In the Marvel universe, Asgardia was built was Tony Stark and ruled by the All-Mother (since Odin was in exile).

Asgardia is the brain-child of the accomplished Russian scientist and businessman Igor Ashurbeyli, who describes the motivation behind this endeavor as an attempt to create a nation founded on “Peace in Space, and the prevention of Earth’s conflicts being transferred into space.” The idea is to create a “mirror of humanity in space” in low-Earth orbit that would be devoid of Earthly divisions based on borders and religions. As Ashurbeyli says: “In Asgardia we are all just Earthlings!” 

Besides avoiding Earth-linked divisions, another key goal for the nation would be to protect Earth from space threats, like comets, asteroids, debris, cosmic radiation and infection by extraterrestrial microorganisms.

To make this space nation a reality, Ashurbeyli wants it to achieve recognition from the United Nations, aiming to have a million people sign up to become the new country’s citizens via their website. The initial citizens are likely to be those who work in the space industry already, but anyone can join. The initial goal for the founders was to get 100,000 citizens to sign up, but the number of interested people hit 300K in less than a week and is going up rapidly.

To a Cat



Mirrors are not more silent
Nor the creeping dawn more secretive;
In the moonlight, you are that panther
We catch sight of from afar.
By the inexplicable workings of a divine law,
We look for you in vain;
More remote, even,
than the Ganges or the setting sun,
Yours is the solitude, yours the secret.
Your haunch allows the lingering
Caress of my hand. You have accepted,
Since that long forgotten past,
The love of the distrustful hand.
You belong to another time. You are lord
Of a place bounded like a dream.

Jorge Luis Borges

A small twister

 In english
"I thought a thought. But the thought I thought wasn't the thought I thought I thought.
If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought, I wouldn't have thought so much".

In spanish
Me pareció un pensamiento. Pero la idea pensé que no era el pensamiento que pensé que pensaba.
Si la idea pensé pensé que había sido el pensamiento que pensé, yo no habría pensado tanto.

The attitudes Virus




Sometimes  we think t our attitudes is the same as our personality and  for that reason never pay  attention  as I tried other, in occasions a simple attitude like the alteration can to damage  the empathy with another people, is attitude is a one that can cause  a  blocking in our brain, since this does not allows think clearly the things, in my experience happened to me that this is attitudes  controls me, when unable to meet an expected task.

Attitude Virus - My confession

What is the relationship between the video "The Attitude Virus" whit my personal life

I think things should be done well and carefully, although this thought is right in ocations I demand too much of my partners why I feel that what they do can be better or simply does not meet my requirements and I disqualified they, this has caused me many problems because people arround me feel slighted and angry, and the wors part is that mosto of the time I did not undestand the reason.
I had to constantly evaluate my attitude and relax a little to combat this behavior and occassionally lean on my fellow who advice me that I'm being too demanding.

NASA's Journey to Mars



NASA is developing the capabilities needed to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s – goals outlined in the bipartisan NASAAuthorization Act of 2010 and in the U.S. National Space Policy, also issued in 2010.
Mars is a rich destination for scientific discovery and robotic and human exploration as we expand our presence into the solar system. Its formation and evolution are comparable to Earth, helping us learn more about our own planet’s history and future. Mars had conditions suitable for life in its past. Future exploration could uncover evidence of life, answering one of the fundamental mysteries of the cosmos: Does life exist beyond Earth?
While robotic explorers have studied Mars for more than 40 years, NASA’s path for the human exploration of Mars begins in low-Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts on the orbiting laboratory are helping us prove many of the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space, including Mars. The space station also advances our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronaut health.
Our next step is deep space, where NASA will send a robotic mission to capture and redirect an asteroid to orbit the moon. Astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft will explore the asteroid in the 2020s, returning to Earth with samples. This experience in human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit will helpNASA test new systems and capabilities, such as Solar Electric Propulsion, which we’ll need to send cargo as part of human missions to Mars. Beginning in FY 2018, NASA’s powerful Space Launch System rocket will enable these “proving ground” missions to test new capabilities. Human missions to Mars will rely on Orion and an evolved version of SLS that will be the most powerful launch vehicle ever flown.
A fleet of robotic spacecraft and rovers already are on and around Mars, dramatically increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover measured radiation on the way to Mars and is sending back radiation data from the surface. This data will help us plan how to protect the astronauts who will explore Mars. Future missions like the Mars 2020 rover, seeking signs of past life, also will demonstrate new technologies that could help astronauts survive on Mars.
Engineers and scientists around the country are working hard to develop the technologies astronauts will use to one day live and work on Mars, and safely return home from the next giant leap for humanity. NASA also is a leader in a Global Exploration Roadmap, working with international partners and the U.S. commercial space industry on a coordinated expansion of human presence into the solar system, with human missions to the surface of Mars as the driving goal.

QuantumTeleportation Approaches Sci-Fi Level


Crewmembers aboard the starship Enterprise on the iconic TV series "Star Trek" could "beam up" from planets to starships, making travel between great distances look easy. While these capabilities are clearly fictional, researchers have now performed "quantum teleportation" of laser pulses over several miles within two city networks of fiber optics.

Although the method described in the research will not replace city subways or buses with transporter booths, it could help lead to hack-proof telecommunications networks, as well as a "quantum internet" to help extraordinarily powerful quantum computers talk to one another.

Teleporting an object from one point in the universe to another without it moving through the space in between may sound like science fiction, but quantum physicists have actually been experimenting with quantum teleportation since 1998. The current distance record for quantum teleportation — a feat announced in 2012 — is about 89 miles (143 kilometers), between the two Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife, off the northwest coast of Africa.

How You Remind Me - The ending of One Piece Z


Lirycs

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling

And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "are we having fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you

And this is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how, you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "are we having fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "are we having fun yet?"

[3x]
Yeah, yeah, are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, no, no.

 History

Teresa will be going to visit her grandmother next week. She will be traveling by train. She will be traveling by herself. She will be taking food and water, because she might be hungry, and the train might not serve food. She will also bring a book to read. She will also be bringing a small video game, in case of boredom. She’ll also bring her medicine, because she might feel sick. When Teresa is at her grandmother's house, she will hug and kiss her grandmother. Then they’re going to watch television and eat dinner. Maybe they’ll also go for a walk. They are going to see many beautiful flowers and trees, because the neighborhood is very pretty. At night, they will go to buy ice cream. Probably they are going to buy chocolate ice cream, because Teresa and her grandmother love to eat chocolate. Then they will be going home to sleep.
