Snake in a Sweater - Album on Imgur. "Two Chips" / An Animated Short. Trailer for Leviathan: Warships is Perhaps the Smoothest Game Trailer Out There [Video] Just to be clear, I’m not usually much of a Paradox Interactive fan.

Their video games often need a little more time in the over or too granular for me. That said, their latest trailer from Leviathan: Warships has totally and completely won me over. To put it in their own terms, “ship just got real.” Titled “Leviathan: Warships Jazzy Trailer,” it completely delivers on everything you might expect out of a trailer described as “jazzy.”

It’s obviously not something they invested a lot of money in, but it shows off the features of the game in an amusing way that makes them stick out in the mind. Plus, turn-based strategy with ships that can fire lasers.

A regular {7/3} heptagram known as the Elven Star or Fairy Star is used by some members of the otherkin subculture as an identifier.[1] Otherkin are a community of people who see themselves as partially or entirely non-human.

They believe that they are, in spirit if not in body,[2] not human. This is explained by some members of the otherkin community as possible through reincarnation, having a nonhuman soul, ancestry, or symbolic metaphor.[1] According to Joseph Laycock, "scholarship has framed this claim as religious because it is frequently supported by a framework of metaphysical beliefs. "[3] Not all otherkin necessarily share these beliefs; some may simply prefer to identify as non-human. Description[edit]

Jesus Christ, Silicon Valley. And it's May. Reinhart, Rogoff... and Herndon: The student who caught out the profs. This week, economists have been astonished to find that a famous academic paper often used to make the case for austerity cuts contains major errors.

Another surprise is that the mistakes, by two eminent Harvard professors, were spotted by a student doing his homework. It's 4 January 2010, the Marriott Hotel in Atlanta. At the annual meeting of the American Economic Association, Professor Carmen Reinhart and the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, Ken Rogoff, are presenting a research paper called Growth in a Time of Debt. At a time of economic crisis, their finding resonates - economic growth slows dramatically when the size of a country's debt rises above 90% of Gross Domestic Product, the overall size of the economy. Word about this paper spread. And so did student Thomas Herndon. Thomas chose Growth in a Time of Debt. Christina Ricci - 7 Minutes in Heaven. Pappasitos Brochette Shrimp - Copycat Recipe Recipe.

Back in February 2010 NASA launched the Solar Dynamics Observatory–a 3-axis stabilized satellite and fully redundant spacecraft that will observe the Sun for five years.

It has five years of additional fuel on board if NASA decides to extend the mission, though. The aim of the SDO is to monitor solar activity and see how that impacts space weather. On board it has the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) consisting of four telescopes, the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) that measures the Sun’s ultraviolet output, and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) that maps solar magnetic fields and helps map the sun’s magnetic dynamo. As part of its observations, the SDO captures an image of the Sun every 12 seconds using the AIA, but varies those shots across 10 different wavelengths.

NASA has now collected 3 year’s worth of image data from the SDO and has put together the video you see below. uYHnQrW.gif (GIF Image, 200 × 300 pixels) Michael Shannon Reads the Insane Delta Gamma Sorority Let...

Has Canada's government been muzzling its scientists? Canada's Information Commission is to investigate claims that the government is "muzzling" its scientists.

The move is in response to a complaint filed by academics and a campaign group. BBC News reported last year instances of the government blocking requests by journalists to interview scientists. Some scientists alleged that the muzzling could help suppress environmental concerns about government policies. The former president of the Canadian Science Writers' Association, Veronique Morin, says that the commissioner's office will now have to find out if the federal government has in effect been operating a policy of censorship. "Vital stories pertaining to the environment, natural resources, food safety, fisheries and oceans are not coming out in Canada because, for several years now, the government has imposed rules which prevents its scientists from speaking freely about their publicly funded research," she said.

The following is a guest post by Margaret Serrano, a student at Pace University School of Law (JD expected 2013).

Pace Law School Professor Darren Rosenblum posted yesterday to his Huffington Post Blog (here) to criticize Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In for failing to recognize the “central role played by public policy” in to increasing gender equality in the work place. Amazing Water & Sound Experiment #2. Living With Less. A Lot Less. Huge Snowstorm Headed for New England Looks Even Scarier From Space. The gigantic snowstorm headed for New England is predicted to be a mean one that will dump feet of snow on an area from New York to Maine.

But the ominous picture the National Weather Service is painting isn’t as frightening as the view from space. The massive storm can be seen taking shape in this image, taken by NOAA’s GOES-13 satellite today at 9:01 ET, as a western front that stretches from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico prepares to merge with a curling low-pressure system over the Atlantic Ocean off the shore of Virginia. Image: NASA. Sandberg might really do it. In the run-up to the publication of Sheryl Sandberg’s new book (and manifesto), “Lean In,” the media have been full. Not so much of coverage of the book, which, it seems, many commentators have not actually read, but of the media firestorm surrounding the book. First the usual suspects (Maureen Dowd, and the relentlessly self-publicizing Pundit Mom) piled on.

Then credentialed feminists like Jessica Valenti and Joan Walsh sprang to Sandberg’s defense. The funny thing about the debate is the tone of surprise. Why in the world did this happen, the feminists ask. The Fight Over Seth MacFarlane Is a Study in Self-Confidence. Seth MacFarlane speaks at the 85th Academy Awards.
