GOOGLE REVEALS DETAILS OF GOOGLE GLASS

Google has released a sneak peak of the experience of Google Glass from the perspective of a wide range of activities and industries, showing the potential for what some consider “the next big thing.”

The video highlights some of the features of the device, which can be accessed by the command “ok glass,” followed by a subsequent command, such as “take a picture,” “record a video,” “start a hangout,” or “get directions to.”

Glass can also display the current time or weather, translate languages, and can google photos or information. It also displays information based on your location without having to ask questions, such as notifying you of whether or not you're on time for your flight when in an airport. And all of this is voice-activated.

The video shows some of the more extreme activities in life, such as skydiving or spinning an aeroplane, making for a more elegant way to show people things they might not otherwise get to see. However, it is probably not a good idea to wear your $1,500 Google Glass on a roller-coaster if it goes upside down.

While Glass was only open to developers, Google is now accepting applications from “bold, creative individuals” in the US. The cost remains high ($1,500) and successful applicants must be able to attend an event in New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. Applications are open until 27 February and more details can be found here.

Finger broken off Florence statue by tourist

A 14th-Century statue in the Italian city of Florence has lost a finger after it was handled by an American tourist.

A security guard saw the man touching the statue and tried to stop him but was too late to avert the damage.

The sculpture, believed to be the work of Giovanni d'Ambrogio, was on view at the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo.

It is unclear how much it will cost to fix the finger, which was not original and had been added at a later date.

The tourist, who is said to have apologised, could receive a fine and has been publicly chastised by the museum's director.

"Do not touch", said Monsignor Timothy Verdun, was a "fundamental" rule of museum-going that had been forgotten.

Dolphins have 'longest social memory' among non-humans

esearchers in the US say that even after 20 years of separation, dolphins could recall the whistles of former companions.

The authors believe that these long-term memories are a product of the complex social connections that dolphins have evolved.

The research is published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

In the study, the scientists used information on the relationships between 56 captive bottlenose dolphins that have been moved for breeding purposes between six different zoos and aquariums in the US and Bermuda.

The records, dating back decades, showed which of the dolphins had been housed together.
Total recall

The researchers then played recordings to the dolphins on underwater speakers of the signature whistles of animals they had once lived with, and measured their responses.

"When they are familiar with the call, the dolphins are more likely to approach the speakers for longer periods of time," said Dr Jason Bruck from the University of Chicago who carried out the study.

"They will maintain contact with the speaker - if they are unfamiliar with the call they are more likely to ignore what I am playing. It's unprecedented in the study of animal behaviour to find memories this long."

Dr Bruck highlighted the case of two female dolphins called Allie and Bailey. They had once lived together in the Florida keys when they were very young.

The scientists say that the complicated nature of their social groupings impact their ability to recall whistles

Bailey now lives in Bermuda but when a recording of Allie was played, she instantly responded in even though it was was 20 years and six months since they had been in contact.

Dr Bruck says this type of response was typical. Compared to unfamiliar calls, there was a clear pattern in the data where dolphins responded significantly more to whistles from animals they had once known, even if they hadn't seen or heard them in decades.

To check that the dolphin's response was due to recognition of a former companion, Dr Bruck would also play a test recording of an unfamiliar bottlenose that was the same age and gender as the familiar animal.

Teen who speaks 23 languages

American who speaks 23 languages says Persian is his favorite

As Iranians head to the polls for today’s presidential election and the world wonders whether the country will see a repeat of its contested 2009 election and subsequent mass protests, it’s worth taking a break from Iran’s complicated political and social issues to appreciate its language. Persian, also known as Farsi, is the country’s official tongue and a member of the Indo-European language family.
Persian is also the favorite language of one the few people who has real authority when it comes to comparing languages: 17-year-old Tim Doner. A famous “hyperpolyglot,” which means someone who can speak many languages, Doner says he knows 23. He recently appeared on an Australian morning news program, where the hosts asked him to pick his favorite, and he selected Persian without hesitation. Doner even recited a few lines from the celebrated 14th century Iranian poet Hafez, leaving the Australian anchors slightly stunned. (That’s at about 1:30 into the above video.)

I can’t verify the level of Doner’s fluency, though some Farsi-speakers who I asked about the video said his pronunciation was good if slightly over-articulated, in the manner of someone who has learned a language but not used it much in conversation. A New York Times story on Doner from last year discussed some of the science behind hyperpolyglots and listed some of his languages: Arabic, Hebrew, French, Latin, Mandarin, Russian, Italian, Swahili, Indonesian, Hindi, Ojibwe (a Native American language), Pashto, Turkish, Hausa (spoken in West Africa), Kurdish, Yiddish, Dutch, Croatian and German.

So what makes Persian Doner’s favorite? He doesn’t say, but as someone who does not speak a word of it, I’ve long felt the same way. There’s something wonderfully musical about the language. It’s not hard to see how Persian culture would have developed such a reputation for poetry.

DNA Bridge

DNA bridge was opened in Singapore

Opened the world's first bridge based on a double helix - a model of DNA structure. The bridge stretches 280 meters in length over the Marina Bay area and is equipped with computer-controlled lighting to improve the well-being of walkers.

The Helix Bridge, previously known as the Double Helix Bridge, is a pedestrian bridge linking Marina Centre with Marina South in the Marina Bayarea in Singapore. It was officially opened on 24 April 2010 at 9 pm, however only half was opened due to ongoing construction at the Marina Bay Sands.^[1] It is located beside the Benjamin Sheares Bridge and is accompanied by a vehicular bridge, known as the Bayfront Bridge. The entire bridge was opened on 18 July 2010 to complete the entire walkway around Marina Bay.

The bridge complements other major development projects planned in the area, including the highly-anticipated Integrated Resort Marina Bay Sands,Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay and the 438,000 m² business and financial centre which will be ready by 2012.

Architecture

The design consortium is an international team comprising Australian architects the Cox Group and engineers Arup, and Singapore based Architects 61.

Canopies (made of fritted-glass and perforated steel mesh) are incorporated along parts of the inner spiral to provide shade for pedestrians. The bridge has four viewing platforms sited at strategic locations which provide stunning views of the Singapore skyline and events taking place within Marina Bay. At night, the bridge will be illuminated by a series of lights that highlight the double-helix structure, thereby creating a special visual experience for the visitors.

Pairs of colored letters c and g, as well as a and t on the bridge which are lit up at night in red and green represent cytosine, guanine, adenine andthymine, the four bases of DNA. The intentional left handed DNA-like design, which is the opposite of normal DNA on earth, earned it a place in The Left Handed DNA Hall of Fame in 2010 .

The Land Transport Authority claims it is a world first in architectural and engineering bridge design.

It won the 'World's Best Transport Building' award at the World Architecture Festival Awards in the same year. It has also been recognised by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) at the BCA Design and Engineering Safety Excellence Awards in 2011.

Design

From the outset, the project posed several challenges. There was a desire for the plan view of the bridge to be curved in an arc, such that it joins the foreshore promenades on either side seamlessly. Furthermore, it was desirable to create a lightweight structure, in contrast to the adjacent 6-lane vehicle bridge which is rather heavy in appearance.

Due to the tropical climate, the brief also required the bridge to provide shade and shelter against direct sunshine and heavy rainfall. The combination of these factors, together with the desire to create a landmark structure, led to a novel and unique design. The bridge was designed using BS 5950 ^[7] in combination with a design guide from the SCI.

The resulting bridge comprises two delicate helix structures that act together as a tubular truss to resist the design loads. This approach was inspired by the form of the curved DNA structure. The helix tubes only touch each other in one position, under the bridge deck. The two spiralling members are held apart by a series of light struts and rods, as well as stiffening rings, to form a rigid structure. This arrangement is strong and ideal for the curved form. The stainless steel bridge is met by concrete abutments at either side.

The 280 m bridge is made up of three 65 m spans and two 45 m end spans. If the steel were stretched out straight from end to end, it would measure 2.25 km in length. The major and minor helices, which spiral in opposite directions, have an overall diameter of 10.8 m and 9.4 m respectively, about 3-storeys high. The outer helix is formed from six tubes (273 mm in diameter) which are set equidistant from one another. The inner helix consists of five tubes, also 273 mm in diameter. Over the river, the bridge is supported by unusually light tapered stainless steel columns, which are filled with concrete. The columns form inverted tripod shapes which support the bridge above each of the pilecaps. The bridge weighs around 1700 tonnes in total.

The final pieces of the design are a series of ovular-shaped cantilevered viewing ‘pods’, each with capacity for about 100 people, that extend out on the bay side to create ‘ring-side’ viewing for water events. These decks are also constructed using grade 1.4462 and are designed to further optimize the pedestrian experience of the bridge as a new urban place and a vital connection between Singapore’s major existing and emerging urban precincts. Lighting As this structure was inspired by the DNA structure, it was essential that the architectural lighting features should emphasise the various shapes and curves.

Towards that end, a series of dynamic multi-coloured light-emitting diode (LED) lights are installed on the helix structures. Outward-facing lights accentuate the sweeping structural curves, with another discreet array of lights illuminating the internal canopy of glass and steel mesh to create a dynamic membrane of light. The inner helix uses white light to illuminate a path for pedestrians. The lights work particularly well with the surface finish and colour of the stainless steel elements.

Optical illusion carpet !!

The latest sensation in interior design is trippy floor covering!

 
Every floor you’re seeing is 100% code flat! From the seismic shift carpet on the left, spotted in a Paris video game store, to the gentle waves in the new ballroom of the Marriott Solana in Southlake, Texas – it’s clever 2-D patterning that makes them look 3-D.  That’s what tricks the eye, messes with the mind, and challenges the balance. Don’t look down and you’ll be fine. (Let’s hope these businesses have good liability insurance!)

 

And if a garden meditation spot is a bit too serene for your taste, the other extreme is this backyard deck designed by Berkeley-based architect Thom Faulders – commissioned by Apple exec and art collector Jeff Dauber, who “wanted someone to barf when they look at it.”

 

  These are definitely not recommended for Tai Chi studios or senior citizen housing!

3D News

Watch this amazing News in 3D

A 3D or 3-D (three-dimensional) film or S3D (stereoscopic 3D) film^[1] is a motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception. Derived from stereoscopic photography, a regular motion picture camera system is used to record the images as seen from two perspectives (or computer-generated imagery generates the two perspectives in post-production), and special projection hardware and/or eyewear are used to provide the illusion of depth when viewing the film. 3D films are not limited to feature film theatrical releases; television broadcasts and direct-to-video films have also incorporated similar methods, especially since 3D television and Blu-ray 3D.

3D films have existed in some form since 1915, but had been largely relegated to a niche in the motion picture industry because of the costly hardware and processes required to produce and display a 3D film, and the lack of a standardized format for all segments of the entertainment business. Nonetheless, 3D films were prominently featured in the 1950s in American cinema, and later experienced a worldwide resurgence in the 1980s and 1990s driven by IMAX high-end theaters and Disney themed-venues. 3D films became more and more successful throughout the 2000s, culminating in the unprecedented success of 3D presentations of Avatar in December 2009 and January 2010.

2D to 3D conversion

In the case of 2D CGI animated films that were generated from 3D models, it is possible to return to the models to generate a 3D version.

For all other 2D films, different techniques must be employed. For example, for the 3D re-release of the 1993 film The Nightmare Before Christmas, Walt Disney Pictures scanned each original frame and manipulated them to produce left-eye and right-eye versions. Dozens of films have now been converted from 2D to 3D. There are several approaches used for 2D to 3D conversion, most notably depth-based methods.^[53]

However, conversion to 3D has problems. Information is unavailable as 2D doesn't have information for a perspective view. Some TVs have a 3D engine to convert 2D content to 3D. Usually, on high frame rate content(and on some slower processors even normal frame rate) the processor isn't fast enough and lag is possible. This can lead to strange visual effects.^[54]

Neymar Amazing Goal vs Spain

WWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwW

Brazil 3-0 Spain

Luiz Felipe Scolari's side demolished the World Cup holders with a 3-0 win at the Maracana, proving it is capable of dethroning La Roja at the big event next summer.

On the morning of 16 July 1950, the day Brazil took to the field at the Maracana to face Uruguay in the World Cup final, Rio de Janeiro newspaper O Mundo printed a picture of the national team headlined: "These are the world champions."

Alcides Ghiggia of Uruguay ensured that would not be the case on the occasion now known as the Maracanazo, but it will be hard to stop such optimism and expectation creeping in once more after Luiz Felipe Scolari's side lifted the Confederations Cup on Sunday after demolishing Spain in the final.

Brazil had the force of a whole nation behind it. Divided by the politics that have caused riots across the country, the public were united in triumph. The Selecao dismantled the reigning world champions with a purposeful, tenacious, passionate performance that signalled Scolari has molded a team that can compete with any other on its own turf.

The sound inside the iconic Maracana was deafening. Every single touch was greeted with a raucous cheer, while every second of Spanish possession was whistled and jeered. And if the whole crowd singing the national anthem at the top of their voices even after the music had stopped did not rattle the visitors, then the Selecao's high-intensity, high pressing game certainly did.

SPAIN PULLED TO PIECES
THE THREE BIG GOALS
2'	GOOOOOAAAAAAL!!! GOOOOAAAAALLL!! GOOOOOOAAAAAAAL!!!! BRAZIL TAKE AN EARLY LEAD!! Hulk clips a cross to the back post and a scuffle ensues before Fred lashes home whilst lying on the turf! What a start! 1-0!!!
44'	GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL FOR BRAZIL!!! THE SELECAO LEAD THE WORLD CHAMPIONS 2-0!!! Oscar picks up possession on the edge of the box and stabs a pass through to Neymar who nearly bursts the net with a sensational left-footed strike into the top corner!!! Unbelievable!! The Maracana EXPLODES!!
47'	GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLL FOR BRAZIL!!! They explode out of the blocks in the second period!!! Hulk slides the ball through the middle and Neymar cleverly dummies the pass. Fred runs on to the loose ball and expertly curls a strike into the bottom right corner! 3-0! Spain are sinking without a trace!

Drawing on the inspirational, fervent support Brazil instantly put the pressure on and one person seemingly lost in the cacophony of noise was Alvaro Arbeloa. It was enough to put goosebumps on the skin, but the right back suffered far worse as his incomprehensible positioning let Hulk's cross drop at the back post for Fred to stab home the opener.

The Canarinha's super start continued as they forced Spain to make their decisions quickly, denying them the usual time and space on the ball to which they have become accustomed. Luiz Gustavo and Paulinho worked brilliantly in tandem in midfield to hunt down the ball and restrict space, while Neymar and Hulk, at times even Fred, dropped behind the ball and defended from the front.

The sharpness caught Spain off-guard and made it look utterly redundant despite all their possession. Granted, Spain had less time to recover for the game and played an additional 30 minutes to Brazil, but it was unable to match the determination, vigor and desire to win of their opponents.

Scolari seemed to have remedied his side's previous shortcomings and set his team out with exactly the right game plan from the off. What would have been highlighted as a potential weakness in the attacking wing-backs of Dani Alves and Marcelo was turned into an advantage. As they pushed up to tighten the area within which La Roja could operate, they prised errors from their opponents.

Only once was Brazil exposed on the counter-attack and even then David Luiz was back to cover with an heroic goal-line clearance to keep Pedro off the score sheet.

Indeed, the creativity which had previously been missing also returned as Oscar showed sublime decision-making in the final third, particularly when he slotted the ball through for Neymar to slam home the second.

After evading the loose marking of Arbeloa, Neymar announced himself on the biggest stage of his career and in front of many of his new teammates. Previously accused of going quiet in big games, there can be little doubting now that the 21-year-old is capable of making an impact at the highest levels.

Things got even better early in the second half. "The champions are back!" roared from the stands as Fred made it 3-0 in a huge display from Scolari's Brazil. From villain following the Selecao's Copa America elimination in 2011 to national hero with his double in the final - Fred's international redemption was complete back in the city where he inspired Fluminense to lift the 2012 Brasilleirao.

Although Sergio Ramos missed from the penalty spot and Spain were reduced to 10 men when Gerard Pique brought down Neymar in the 68th minute, Julio Cesar ensured the safety of his clean sheet by denying Pedro and David Villa goals in the closing 10 minutes.

Brazil had given its all. The team simply wanted to win more than Vicente del Bosque's men and it was evident in the contrast between its aggressive approach to the game and Spain's timidity. Scolari had spoken of the need for maturity and growth prior to the final. He got that in abundance.

The coach downplayed the victory to the press after the game, but for Brazil this competition was not just a test for their stadia and infrastructure. The nation's team also passed it with flying colors, proving it has the capability to avenge the 1950 defeat to Uruguay that still torments the nation's football-mad public. They will be even more expectant at the World Cup, but if they support the side in the manner which they did on Sunday then Brazil will be confident they can take on the world - and win.

No room for girls at a 'women's conference' in Saudi

:)))) Is this ridiculous spectacle real???

Ha ha. It's a good gag by whoever's come up with it – a room full of Saudi Arabian men supposedly coming together to talk about 'women in society'. Without any women present.

No wonder the picture's currently doing the rounds on Twitter – both men and women are laughing at the absurdity and hypocrisy of it.

And yet, is it really that absurd? We don't actually know if the photo is real. But this is a country where women are not allowed to drive, women cannot vote or be elected to high political positions – oh, and stoning them to death if they try to leave their husbands is still OK.

It's not too hard to make the leap, then, that Saudi Arabia would seriously, actually, run a conference about 'what to do with all these women' – those who are rising up, who are starting to disobey the 'norms'. Post the Arab spring and this 'new world' of politics – it's possible women may want a change in culture in the Middle East. And the men don't like it.

Regardless, even if it is just a picture of any old get together – to talk about business or politics – it still screams alarm bells at you: the fact that no women are present is telling.

Perhaps it was, literally, a man's only event and the originator of this gag is just making a point.
Come to think of it, his or her point is well heard. I have been to many a business conference in the UK over the years that may as well be men-only: a sea of grey suits and balding, middle aged men doesn't help to inspire the new generation, especially women, into industry.
If it seems absurd that Saudi Arabia would host a male-only event excluding women, perhaps it is just an exaggerated version of what goes on in the Western world?
But before the UK Government is tempted to launch an Inquiry into said problem, let's just enjoy this photo for what I believe it is: a good gag.
