Eco Factor: Concept boat designed to be powered by solar energy.
The Float is the brainchild of industrial designers Rami Tareef and Milos Ristin who believe that there is a need to expand the use of green energy in the marine field. The Float flat-surfaced boat is a solar-powered double motor concept boat that harvests renewable solar energy using an array of solar panels placed neatly on the roof.
Solar power and electric engines don’t make it the fastest boat you’ve ever ridden, but provide a decent cruising speed of up to 10kph. Meant for a marine picnic, the boat is equipped with a table, a grill and a small refrigerator.

Eco Factor: Zero-emission PWC powered by electric propulsion pods.
The Green Samba Personal Water Craft by Ohio-based Silveira Group is all about performance on the open water without emitting toxic fumes of any kind. The PWC delivers straight line 65mph performance of the fastest 260bhp PWC’s without delivering any hydrocarbons or producing any noise.
The company is expected to showcase a working prototype of the carbon fiber construction Green Samba for testing later this year. The Samba is ridden in a motorcycle-like crouch and was developed with the specific intent of creating the PWC V 3.0. The Green Samba uses twin direct drive electric propulsion pods, which are fueled by onboard batteries.

Solar scientists worldwide are working to disprove the hypothesis that man is primarily responsible for climate change, according to Dr. Jeff Kuhn, Associate Director of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii. In the view of Dr. Kuhn and other top scientists, the Sun changes Earth’s climate. “As a scientist who knows the data, I simply can’t accept (the claim that man plays a dominant role in Earth’s climate),” he states.
Dr. Kuhn last week announced breakthrough research on the role of the Sun – after years of precise satellite measurements, undistorted by Earth’s stratosphere, he and his team discovered that the Sun did not change much in size, as has generally been believed. Rather, the Sun is surprisingly stable, its diameter changing by less than one part in a million during the last 12 years.
Dr. Kuhn’s team, which includes scientists from Stanford University in California and Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa in Brazil, used NASA’s SOHO satellite to obtain resolutions 10 times better than telescopes on Earth, allowing them to measure the Sun’s diameter of approximately 865,000 miles to an accuracy of a few hundred feet. In 2017, when the world’s most powerful telescope — his institute’s Advanced Technology Solar Telescope — starts operating on Hawaii’s Mt. Haleakala’s summit at a resolution 10 times better still, he expects to zero in on details that unravel the mystery of how minute changes on the Sun’s surface affect climate on Earth. NASA’s SOHO satellite revealed that 100 metre high bumps 90,000 kilometres apart cover the Sun’s surface. With his new telescope, Dr. Kuhn expects to capture never-before-seen details of the solar surface.
“We can’t predict the climate on Earth until we understand these changes on the sun,” concludes Kuhn.

We’ve discussed the overhyped moral panic around the concept of a cyberwar, and how the term is abused — potentially just as a way for government contractors to get hundreds of millions in easy government contracts. And, it looks like that process has only just begun. Senator Joe Lieberman is apparently about to unveil a “Cybersecurity” bill that doesn’t seem to attack any real issue in making the government more secure. Instead, it looks like it really just seeks to limit competition in what government agencies can purchase. In other words, it’ll just make things more expensive for the government, while probably not doing much to make anything or anyone more secure.

Global warming” may become one of those quaint cocktail party conversations of the past if three key climate drivers – cooling North Pacific sea surface temperatures, extremely low solar activity and increased volcanic eruptions – converge to form a “perfect storm” of plummeting temperatures that send our planet into a long-term cool-down lasting 20 or 30 years or longer.
“There are some wild cards that are different from what we saw when we came out of the last warm PDO [Pacific Decadal Oscillation] and entered its cool phase [1947 to 1976]. Now we have a very weak solar cycle and the possibility of increased volcanic activity. Together, they would create what I call the ‘Triple Crown of Cooling,’” says Accuweather meteorologist Joe Bastardi.
If all three climate-change ingredients come together, it would be a recipe for dangerously cold temperatures that would shorten the agricultural growing season in northern latitudes, crippling grain production in the wheat belts of the United States and Canada and triggering widespread food shortages and famine.
Cool Pacific Decadal Oscillation
The Pacific Decadal Oscillation refers to cyclical variations in sea surface temperatures that occur in the North Pacific Ocean. (The PDO is often described as a long-lived El Niño-like pattern.) PDO events usually persist for 20 to 30 years, alternating between warm and cool phases. During these long periods there are sometimes short-interval phase switches that can last several years.

Intr-un articol viitor, care va aparea pe CeRecomand.ro saptamana aceasta, vorbesc despre site-ul BigBoysToys.ro. Dupa cum spune si numele, BigBoysToys inseamna “jucarii pentru baieti mari”. Nu va ganditi la prostii si nu incercati sa va scoateti. Stiu ca deja v-ati gandit. Sa trecem peste !
Site-ul nu se refera la genul ala de jucarii, ci la astfel de jucarii.
Am vazut de multe ori prin filme oameni maturi care jucau cu astfel de jucarii si trebuie sa recunosc ca nu intelegeam de ce. Asta desigur pana am avut si eu ocazia sa ma joc cu asa ceva, la Ghimbav. Imediat ce pui mana pe o astfel de jucarie nu-I mai poti da drumul. Creaza dependenta ! Asa ca m-am hotarat sa caut si sa cumper o astfel de jucarie.
Astfel am dat peste site-ul cu pricina. Dupa multe cautari printre jucariile de pe site am decis sa ma rezum la 2 categorii : elicoptere cu telecomanda si “vapoare” ( cu telecomanda, vapoare –> vorba fie ).
N-am stiut ce sa cumpar la inceput. In cele din urma am decis sa incep cu un elicopter (cel din clipul de mai jos). Urmeaza sa iau un “vapor”.
Trebuie sa incercati asa ceva.
Distractia e garantata !

Megan Fox, who plays Mikaela Banes, will no longer be appearing in Transformers 3. And there will be no more romance between Samuel James Witwicky and Mikaela Banes?
Fox has decided not to appear in the movie but reports also say that her departure for the most part is Michael Bay’s decision. She reportedly likened director Michael Bay to Hitler saying, “He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is…a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward,” quoted Access Hollywood. This heated up other crew members calling her “the grump of the set.”
Bay, on the other hand, took it rather decently saying it is just part of her “crazy charm” and he looks forward in having more of Megan’s crazy antics in the next film.
But Fox is still on the go and preparing for the release of the action-film Jonah Hex with stars Will Arnett, John Malkovich, and Josh Brolin, shares People.
And the question is who will take Fox’s place? How will it appear that Mikaela Bane is gone? It makes the sequel’s storyline more intriguing.

Eco Factor: Sustainable data center to be powered by electricity generated from manure.
Scientists at Hewlett-Packard have come up with a plan to use cow manure as fuel for a data center. The team has shown how the manure output of cows and heat output of data centers can be combined to create an environmentally sustainable operation. The research team further explained how a farm of 10,000 dairy cows could fulfill the requirements of a 1MW data center, the power left over to support the needs on the farm.
We like to imagine Japan as a stagnant, long-term dying economy, but for the time being at least have to point out that the nation is currently growing faster than the U.S..
1Q GDP growth missed analyst expectations, coming in at +4.9% on an annualized basis vs. 5.5% expected, but it was higher than America’s 1Q GDP growth of 3.2%.
One reason for Japan’s faster current rebound is that the Japanese economy fell much harder than that of the U.S., at one point dropping at a 13.7% annualized rate as shown below.
The other reason is that Japan has become a play on Asian economic development, rather than a play on its own economy.
Private consumption, which makes up about 60 percent of the economy, grew 0.3 percent in the quarter, while exports rose 6.9 percent. Economic recovery in Japan has been bolstered by a rebound in Tokyo’s mainstay exports of cars and electronics, which posted the fourth year-on-year rise in March. The rebound finally appears to be filtering through to domestic production and wages.
While this was the first quarter since 2004 that all domestic demand components of the GDP data grew, growth was still anemic. Japan’s economy is still dying at home, it’s just that international demand is providing life support.

We all love our BlackBerry smartphones. Do you still use text? How would you like an app that makes your tests appear like the chat-styled bubble SMS apps like on the iPhone or Android phones? And how about if it was free and ad-free? If so, keep reading…
I thought this was a pretty clever app. I’ve seen some paid versions of this type of app, but this app is free and actually does what their’s do with no ads and no charge.
I installed this on my BlackBerry Tour 9630 to see what it would look like and this is what it does…
I know many of us love that bubble-styled chat, and this cures that want free. I liked that it mimics the Android styled phones, right down to that look. I always see comments about wanting BlackBerry to incorporate this feature, but now there’s an app that delivers for free. What do the options look like?
So all in, several options are available, and the beta application has some faqs available on the website including instructions. You can stop the normal texts from going to the regular SMS folder after installing by going to Options/Security/Advanced Security Options/Firewall and check SMS. You do not have to enable the firewall for this to work. Your SMS will then go into CrunchSMS.
You can download CrunchSMS from BlackBerry App World and also from the CrunchSMS website itself.
If you download it, let us know what you think.

After going home tonight and ending up third placer in American Idol Season 9, Casey James’ name is surfacing the net again for having a mugshot photo.
Star Magazine posted the Casey James mugshot when he was arrested for DWI in 2001 and 2002. He served time in county jail for offenses of driving while intoxicated, driving with an invalid license and reckless driving. Casey James was arrested for driving under the influence, requiring a dui attorney in 2001 when the mugshot was taken.
Casey James seems to be in the wrong direction before he joined Idol. In November 2001, Casey spent one month in jail and was fined $200 for reckless driving. At the age of 17, he started getting speeding tickets. He was busted two times for reckless driving and driving with an invalid license, which earned him a one-month jail sentence in 2003.
Star Magazine’s newest issue has a preview of Casey James mugshot and you can get more information about this if you buy the magazine.
But now, even if he’s out on Idol, Casey has likely learned from his mistakes. He said, “I think everybody can do a quick Google search and pretty much catch everything there is to talk about me as far as bad stuff goes.”

MMMOOO let us know that they updated their iLock application and I have to admit, it’s quite noticeable. I had to check it out and see what was new, and was pleasantly surprised. The new app has a new look, new menu, and works really nicely. Come take a closer look with us…
As you can see, I’m really impressed with the new look and it includes much more. It’s similar to Options/Applications where you can choose what apps to lock from Third Party and Core apps. I tested it out and it works perfect. All my messages, my BlackBerry Messenger, any app I chose. Great job MMMOOO in the new update! It kept my most prized apps behind prying eyes, and kept them safe. I tried different ways, and it still came up to a password to allow me access to each one that I chose.
If you have iLock, you can sign in to the BlackBerry Sync Store online, go to My Apps, and send it to your phone. If you have the mobile Super Store, go to My Apps and download from there. If you don’t have iLock, it’s available in the BlackBerry Sync Store for only $3.99. What is the advantage of this application? Password protect your apps whether its for home or work. What I like most? That if someone keeps attempting to try passwords, you won’t have a wipe out in ten tries.
You can grab a copy of iLock by MMMOOO for $3.99 from the BlackBerry Sync Store here
