Exo-cornucopia

?

Watch out! There's a lot of stuff up there...

This has been an extraordinary week for planets (moons), exoplanets, and astrobiology. I?m hard pushed to write properly about all these things but sometimes the sheer tidal mass of discoveries tells its own story.

?

?

?

And tidal masses is the first one up. This week new results from the Cassini mission around Saturn were presented in Nature (and discussed in this nice piece) that suggest Titan?s surface responds to the gravitational tides of Saturn by lifting and relaxing a substantial 10 meters in altitude. This indicates that Titan?s interior is quite flexible, in fact it indicates something that has long been suspected ? Titan probably has a subsurface ocean of liquid water, somewhere within 100 km of the surface. Sustained in part by radioisotope decay in Titan?s rocky core, this would be far from pure water, but water nonetheless.

A glimmering in the void (ESO/L. Calcada)

Far, far away, around a distant star called Tau Bootis, astronomers have now succeeded in obtaining the first direct measurement of the spectrum of light from the atmosphere of a hot Jupiter planet. All previous measurements of the atmospheric spectrum and composition of such worlds have come from data taken during transits of the parent star (where starlight serves as a brilliant back-light through the outer layers of atmosphere). By nailing the light coming directly from the plant known as Tau Boo b, astronomers have not only pinned down the planetary mass (by learning the orbital inclination relative to our viewpoint) but have set a precedent for the future. The direct measurement of light from exoplanets is one of the holy grails of astronomy? (yeah, there?s lots of these grails in science, I know).

And for another hot Jupiter, the planet HD 189733b (distinguished by transiting a star that at 63 light years away appears pleasantly bright in our skies, enabling lots of great observations to be made) has been observed to respond directly to a pummeling from a flare event on its parent star. In a stroke of luck the star underwent a large X-ray bright flare event just 8 hours before the transiting planet was observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike earlier measurements, this one showed a clear ?plume? or tail of atmosphere being lost by the planet ? adding it to the family of evaporating worlds, albeit periodically.

The ejecta zone, watch out Phobos! (Purdue U./Loic Chappaz)

And finally (although I?ve skipped all sorts of other goodies, like peculiarly close super-Earth exoplanets that come as close as 1.2 million miles every 97 days), some more food for thought in the search for life elsewhere. Some new work indicates that the martian moon Phobos is in the direct line of fire for material that?s blasted off the martian surface by asteroid impacts. As this small moon scoots around Mars every 7.5 hours it can collect a significant amount of Mars filth. Why is this interesting? Well, it?s an awful lot easier to go and land on Phobos than it is to land on Mars ? so perhaps we should be thinking of sieving through the sands of Phobos in order to get a sampling of eons of Mars ejecta, and any possible microorganisms?

Just another week in science.

PFT: Supreme Court kills bid for 'wardrobe malfunction' fine

Michael Vick PicGetty Images

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick replaced an injured and ineffective Kevin Kolb in 2010, and led Philadelphia to an 8-3 record while posting a 21:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio and playing terrific football.

Vick took a step back after last year?s lockout-shortened offseason, going 7-6 as a starter and regressing to 18 touchdown passes compared to 14 interceptions. Vick also played banged up throughout the year.

ESPN?s Ron Jaworski studied every snap of Vick?s 2011 season. While there were obvious deficiencies in Vick?s playing style, Jaworski believes Vick is capable of taking a big positive step in 2012.

?This offseason is the most important of his career,? Jaws said on?SportsCenter Friday. ?It?s the first time since 2006 with the Falcons that he will go through the OTAs and training camp as the starting quarterback.?

As Jaws sees it, talent is no obstacle for Michael Vick. He must play with more discipline.

?There is not another quarterback in the NFL with Vick?s dynamic combination of passing skills and explosive running ability. There are some plays only Vick can make. The issue I have always had with Vick has been his willingness to run. To play the position outside of the pocket, outside the structure of the offense. There?s no question he?ll always make plays, but he also leaves throws on the field.?

?I charted all of Vick?s snaps last season,? Jaworski said. ?He was taken to the ground more than 11 times per game. You can?t play 16 games that way. Vick always reminds me of something my former coach, Dick Vermeil, says: ?The problem with quarterbacks who can run is, they run.??

Still, Jaworski suggested that 2012 could go down as Vick?s best season after a full, healthy offseason in the system and as the surefire starter. Jaws believes Vick has a chance to put it all together this year.

?Vick has shown he is capable of throwing the ball exceptionally well from the pocket,? said Jaworski. ?His overall throwing skill set can be top five in the league. His objective in 2012 must be to play?that way more often. It becomes an availability issue. You can?t be an elite NFL quarterback if you can?t be counted on every single week.

?I am really excited to see Michael Vick in 2012. A more disciplined player will result in fewer turnovers. I would not be surprised if we?re getting ready to see the best year of Vick?s ten-year career.?

3 Apps to Turn You into Hyacinth Bucket | cleaning company ...

cleaning company London I think the steadiest relationship with a gadget has to be with my smartphone. Among the thousands of apps I have installed, I have a tool for just about every situation. Thinking about notes, schedules and fast access to your favourite information limits the full capability of what smartphone apps can do for you. Apps can turn you into Hyacinth Bucket with little to no effort.

Hyacinth Bucket from ?Keeping Up Appearances? represents the perfect home maker, albeit being affected by her desire to be impeccable. Yes, Hyacinth brought massive spells of headache on those who were closest to her, but she only did so propelled by her desire to imbue her life with class and luxury.

The art of the meticulous housewife appears more on-screen than off, because who really has time to run a household with a surgeon?s precision. In most cases, either a cleaning company London has the honour to clean homes or the house remains in a sort of clean-messy disproportion. Here is how your smartphone comes in handy with three easy to use apps.

Housekeeping from Howcast. Whatever you thought you couldn?t do before because you had no idea how to clean specific surfaces will become child?s play, because this app provides you with one impressively rich video vote with tutorials for easy, time saving cleaning tips.

Household Hints and Tips. This free app is wonderful, if you?ve already got a sense of your home and wish to perfect your housekeeping skills for better time. Depending on how your day fluctuates you will have small and rare windows to clean and doing a task for a record time matters in the long run.

Gardening Toolkit HD. Every home garden demands the attention of a professional gardener with years of experience to tend to it. However, if you have the DIY blood in your veins and want to get your hands dirty every once in awhile, this app will help you achieve your goals without killing the plants under your care.

All of the apps can be found in the Apple app store, feature easy to navigate display, perfect for the dead moments during a long commute or while waiting for an appointment. With these apps you?ll have the confidence to clean with the precision of Hyacinth Bucket, holding down the fort before the cleaning company in London comes to help you out.

Peter Clarkson is a part time journalist with many years of experience in different areas of business. His expertises include editing and proofreading, with housekeeping, time management, self improvement amongst his favourite categories. The vast experience gathered in cleaning makes him a valuable source of cleaning related ideas, such as cleaning supplies, home-made solutions, innovative and effective methods. Blogging has become a way for him to share his ideas.

Racing Vegan With Team Plant Power :

Racing Vegan With Team Plant Power
by Heidi Volpe?

Recently I raced the?12 Hours of Temecula and was lucky enough to race with the talented, just turned pro Sarah Jasen. She nabbed a top 10 spot in the Whiskey 50 and has been tearing it up in the UET Endurance Series here in So Cal for Team Margarita, which she founded.

We raced for So Cal Endurance under the team name, ?Plant Power?. Why? Because we were powered by plants.?We both raced as Vegans, fueling before during and after the race with our own hand made food. For the record, beer is vegan and goes well with Chia Black Bean Burgers!

We competed against 8 all male duo?s and got 2nd place, lapping 3rd place, though we were double lapped by our own team mates, Joel Titus and Mario Correa!? That said we beat all the co-ed teams and completed 15 laps in 11.5 hrs. Plant Power and tenacity goes a long way!

Here?s the run down on how we fueled and feasted before, during and after the race. Most of the recipes we made were from or inspired by Brendan Brazier?s book?Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life.

GEL (Thrive Recipe)

  • 4 dates (I used dates, soaked for a few hours, and used the date water in the next drink)
  • 1/2 cup raw agave nectar
  • 1 Tbsp lime zest
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp dulse
  • Sea salt to taste
  • I added some guanara

Vita Mix it or use a high speed blender


RECOVERY DRINK?(Thrive Recipe)

  • 4 large Medjool dates (remove pits)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp hemp protein
  • 2 tbsp sprouted buckwheat (or substitute cooked)
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • Juice from 1/4 lime
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp ground dulse flakes
  • 1 tsp maca powder
  • 1 tsp greens powder (chlorella or spirulina) I used Vital Greens

Vita Mix it or use a high speed blender


COLD QUINOA SALAD (Heidi Volpe)

  • Some Cooked quinoa, red or regular (this is your base )
  • A few shakes Black Charcoal lava salt to taste
  • A couple handfuls Edamame (shelled)
  • Sesame oil to taste
  • Some red onion finely chopped or green scallions
  • A few salted blanched carrots finely chopped
  • A couple wasabi seaweed sheets cut up with a scissors
  • How ever many you feel like heirloom cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 avocado
  • Sting with fresh squeezed lime juice

Mix it up.


SWEET POTATO CHEWS?(Thrive?Recipe)

  • 6 organic sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • Coconut oil
  • Cinnamon
  • Hemp or pumpkin seeds
  • Puncture with Sweet Potatoes, bake at 375? for 40 minutes,?let them cool, then peel.

Cover a baking sheet with coconut oil (so they don?t stick) slice the potatoes in 1/2 cm uniform circles, arrange on pan

With a pastry brush, use some melted coconut oil, and brush the tops, dust with cinnamon. and bake at 300? for approx 20 min. Experiment with baking times until you reach a desired texture. I also sprinkled on hemp seeds once they were done baking, and have added pumpkin seeds as well. These are a great post work out snack and pack well.


CURRY PIZZA?(Thrive Recipe)

Pizza Crust

  • 2 cups ground sunflower seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • Sea salt to taste

Procedure:?Preheat oven to 300?. In a food processor, process all crust ingredients until mixture starts to ball up. Lightly oil the baking tray with coconut oil. Spread mixture on tray to about 1/4 inch thick (it can be thicker or thinner if you prefer). I used a baking pan so it would hold its shape. Add sauce and toppings, bake. I waited until the sides pulled away from the pan, this is how I knew it was close to done. Spread Spicy Sun-Dried Tomato Marinara Sauce (see below) add topping. Bake for 45 minutes. (This will vary slightly depending on the moisture content of the vegetables and the desired crispness of the pizza. I used pre grilled eggplant, red peppers. olives, and mozzarella almond cheese, oregano and some red onion.


SPICY SUN-DRIED TOMATO MARINARA SAUCE?(Thrive?Recipe)

This sauce can either be served raw or simmered over low heat for about 10 minutes to further blend the flavors. If you choose to heat it, try stirring in 1/2 cup nutritional yeast for a cream-textured sauce, it sorta tastes like cheese.

  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoe
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup water1/2 cup grated cucumber
  • 3 tbsp hemp oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • Sea salt to taste

Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in the water for 20 minutes. Retain this water. In a food processor, process all ingredients, including sun-dried tomatoes water, until desired consistency is reached.Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Makes about 3 1/2 cups

NOTE: I also added some organic tomato paste to thicken this up a bit because I found the above a little too watery and made the pizza fall apart.

Scientists twist light to send data

Monday, June 25, 2012

A multi-national team led by USC with researchers hailing from the U.S., China, Pakistan and Israel has developed a system of transmitting data using twisted beams of light at ultra-high speeds ? up to 2.56 terabits per second.

To put that in perspective, broadband cable (which you probably used to download this) supports up to about 30 megabits per second. The twisted-light system transmits more than 85,000 times more data per second.

Their work might be used to build high-speed satellite communication links, short free-space terrestrial links, or potentially be adapted for use in the fiber optic cables that are used by some Internet service providers.

"You're able to do things with light that you can't do with electricity," said Alan Willner, electrical engineering professor at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the corresponding author of an article about the research that was published in Nature Photonics on June 24. "That's the beauty of light; it's a bunch of photons that can be manipulated in many different ways at very high speed."

Willner and his colleagues used beam-twisting "phase holograms" to manipulate eight beams of light so that each one twisted in a DNA-like helical shape as it propagated in free space. Each of the beams had its own individual twist and can be encoded with "1" and "0" data bits, making each an independent data stream ? much like separate channels on your radio.

Their demonstration transmitted the data over open space in a lab, attempting to simulate the sort of communications that might occur between satellites in space. Among the next steps for the research field will be to advance how it could be adapted for use in fiber optics, like those frequently used to transmit data over the Internet.

The team's work builds on research done by Leslie Allen, Anton Zeilinger, Miles Padgett and their colleagues at several European universities.

"We didn't invent the twisting of light, but we took the concept and ramped it up to a terabit-per-second," Willner said. His team included Jian Wang, Jeng-Yuan Yang, Irfan M. Fazal, Nisar Ahmed, Yan Yan, Hao Huang, Yongxiong Ren and Yang Yue from USC; Samuel Dolinar from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and Moshe Tur from Tel Aviv University.

Wang, the lead author, left USC after completing this research and is now a professor at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China.
