The Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite has completed assembly at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and is nearly ready for a December delivery to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, Calif., where it will be joined to the Curiosity rover. SAM and Curiosity are set to fly on the on the upcoming Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover mission scheduled for launch in the fall of 2011.
SAM will become an automated, mobile laboratory as it is carried across Mars by the rover when the mission arrives at the Red Planet in 2012. Together with other instruments on Curiosity, SAM will assess whether Mars ever was, or is still today, an environment able to support microbial life.
"We expect Curiosity will make amazing discoveries," said SAM Principal Investigator Dr. Paul Mahaffy of NASA Goddard, "and we are looking forward to the contributions our mobile chemistry laboratory can make to a better understanding of the history of our neighboring planet."
SAM is in flight configuration, meaning its instruments are in the condition they will be during launch and are ready to begin operations on Mars. The instrument suite (a mass spectrometer, gas chromatograph, and tunable laser spectrometer) has started final environmental testing this week, which includes vibration and thermal testing to ensure SAM can survive the launch, deep space flight, and conditions on Mars.
Once at Mars, SAM will examine the planet's habitability by exploring molecular and elemental chemistry relevant to life. SAM will analyze samples of Martian rock and soil to assess carbon chemistry through a search for organic compounds. The lab will also determine the chemical state of light elements other than carbon, and look for isotopic tracers of planetary change.
NASA JPL, a division of Caltech, manages the Mars Science Laboratory project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. SAM was built by NASA Goddard using significant elements provided by industry, university, and NASA partners.
New High-Performance Lithium-Ion Battery 'Top Candidate' for Electric Cars
Scientists are reporting development of an advanced lithium-ion battery that is ideal for powering the electric vehicles now making their way into dealer showrooms. The new battery can store large amounts of energy in a small space and has a high rate capacity, meaning it can provide current even in extreme temperatures.
A report on this innovation appears in ACS' Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Bruno Scrosati, Yang-Kook Sun, and colleagues point out that consumers have a great desire for electric vehicles, given the shortage and expense of petroleum. But a typical hybrid car can only go short distances on electricity alone, and they hold less charge in very hot or very cold temperatures. With the government push to have one million electric cars on U.S. roads by 2015, the pressure to solve these problems is high. To make electric vehicles a more realistic alternative to gas-powered automobiles, the researchers realized that an improved battery was needed.
The scientists developed a high-capacity, nanostructured, tin-carbon anode, or positive electrode, and a high-voltage, lithium-ion cathode, the negative electrode. When the two parts are put together, the result is a high-performance battery with a high energy density and rate capacity. "On the basis of the performance demonstrated here, this battery is a top candidate for powering sustainable vehicles," the researchers say.
The authors acknowledge funding from WCU (World Class University) program through the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation.

Same problems here. Switched from Verizon about a week ago. I get terrible data rates and the call quality is just awful. I still have a few weeks to jump ship, and to be honest it seems like a good option.
Sprint, rumors abound that EVDO-Rev.B will be switched on soon, if so, when will that happen? I'm sure we are all waiting on that to fix our 3G problems!
Also, for people considering to switch, which carrier and phone were you looking at? I think Sprint got lucky here because there are no real good choices to switch to in this early 4G age, but if we have to go for the lesser of two evils, then we might as well.
Have you all tried updating your PRL. That usually does it for me when my speeds go down.
i'm still using an iPhone 3G on at&t... i've been thinking of switching, but the pickings sure are slim. at the moment, i'm going back and forth between the 3VO on sprint and the Senny on tmobile... but the motorola photon 4g on sprint is making a surprising run out of nowhere! also, some other htc upcoming phones are in the mix (the Lead and Kingdom), but i have no idea when they'll be coming out and probably won't wait that long (if i did, i'd probably end up getting the Nexus Prime in November instead).

Therein lies the problem. I only have a few more days left to notify Wirefly.com if I'm keeping the phone or not. To answer your question, I think I'm going to get a cheap prepaid phone for a couple of months and wait and see what Verizon and T-Mobile come out with. There should be a much better selection of phones by late summer/early fall. I don't know whether it's the EVIL 3D or the Sprint network coverage or a combination of both that's causing the problems but I'm not about to get stuck into a 2 year contract to find out.
I can always fall back to my Nexus One on T-Mobile even more plus plans and ride it out, but this is where I saw a problem. All the carriers have become data tiered! Verizon's data plans are ridiculous! Complete robbery! T-Mobile has better deals but still data tiered. AT&T always sucked to me, so no bother there. This is a very bleak future for 4G, amazing fast speeds where you can only utilize it for a few gigabytes, ugh!
Yep, I hear you. If you want to have a smart phone you're kind of held hostage. It does suck. Anyway, I just notified Wirefly that I'm returning my EVO 3D. Even though I have 30 days to return it they have to be notified within 14 days of activation. It was like pulling teeth to get them to give me a return number. I called the phone number that's on my receipt and it doesn't even belong to them anymore. The same number is also on their website. I had to go to their site and use the live help chat. It took 10 minutes of typing back and forth before the guy would give me the return number. He kept trying to get me to buy a different phone and use another provider. I finally told him that I was getting a prepaid phone for the next few months and I'll decide what I'm going to do later. It's a shame because I really like the phone but just can't get a reliable signal. Well, good luck to everybody with their EVO 3D problems.
T-Mobile has offered me a free HTC Sensation 4G to go back to T-Mobile. What do you think? Should I take their bribe and head back with them? HSPA+ may not be as fast as Wimax, but at least I can expect to receive at least 3 megabits per second in most locations and times. What would you do?
T-Mobile was just recently running a promotion for a free Sensation for signing up. From what I've read the Sensation and EVO 3D are almost identical except the Sensation doesn't have an FM radio tuner and it has 768mb of ram, a little less than the EVO 3D. I've read the Sense 3.0 runs a little slower on the Sensation because of the ram difference but your data connectivity issues would probably be fixed. I'm leaving Sprint for sure. My phone goes back end of this week and I'll be calling Sprint to cancel my service. In August and September there will be the Droid Bionic from Verizon and the Samsung Hercules (HSDPA 42.2 Mbit/s) from T-Mobile to choose from. If you want to go back to T-Mobile check out the full specs for the Hercules compared to the Sensation. You may want to wait a bit. Also Samsung has made mention via Twitter that they will be making the Samsung Nexus 3 with Android 4.0 to be released by the end of the year. Can you hold out with a temp phone for a little bit?
I just got a letter in the mail from T-Mobile. They are offering me any phone of my choice for free if I come back. I'm going to hang on to the letter until the Hercules comes out to see if they'll still honor it.
I don't know if the offer will last that long, they didn't really specify.
I COULD wait it out, but I just ordered the phone and now it has shipped. If I return the phone, would I lose out on my current offer? I wouldn't mind waiting a couple of months for a free, sweet, new phone, but now I don't know what to do! lol
The Sensation looks like a good phone. Let us know how your service is after you get it. I just transfered my number over to a prepaid phone today and called Sprint to make sure my account was closed. I'll wait to see what the Hercules is all about then decide what phone I'll get.

At this day and age, everything seems to be at the touch of our fingertips. Movies, music, even food. Everything you need is most likely available online or through our smartphones.
If you're someone who's made it a personal mission to try out different restaurants every time you're eating out or looking for healthy options because you're quitting fast food (ehem, like me), you must be familiar with food guide/restaurant guide websites and smartphone apps like Spot.ph, Munchpunch, ClickTheCity and looloo.
Last year, I found about Zomato through some Google ads and decided to download the app and join. I thought I could do more of on-the-go food reviews here but after posting 3 reviews, I stopped using Zomato just because I don't feel like it anymore. I felt like it's the same big food bloggers that are posting reviews, just a different outlet. Also, the interface of their app before was not that appealing.
I got an e-mail from my friend, CJ, last week asking me if I want to tag along with him for a meeting with Zomato's Sarah Buendia. Of course I was interested. It's been a while since I've used my Zomato app and it would be nice to hear something new about them.
Here's a list I compiled of the things I like about the new Zomato website and app, and some suggestions:
1. It's no longer a walled garden.
2. More users.
There's a significant increase in the number of users of Zomato since the last time I checked. At least it's not dominated anymore solely by the already famous food bloggers in the Philippines. Reviews are more diverse, I can even find reviews of some relatively unknown hole-in-the-wall spots!
3. Improved Zomato widget
The new widget definitely looks exponentially better than the old one though this still needs some improvement. I like that they turned the white, rectangular awkward looking widget into this, a sleeker one but I think they should replace the background with just a solid color as opposed to a blown-up blurred version of the user's default photo.
4. A more 'social' layer
When you open the app, there's 4 tabs that will show: Search, Nearby, Feed and Profile.
For the Search tab, you can input whatever you want be it a specific dish, a restaurant, a cuisine. If you're feeling random, you can just tap the preset filters and suggestions will be given to you according to your location.
Same goes for the Nearby tab. It will automatically give you all the nearest restaurants via geolocation. Zomato currently has listings of Metro Manila and Tagaytay restaurants. I am in Bacoor, Cavite as of writing, so the app is showing its nearest known restaurants which are in Talon Dos in Las Pinas.
The Feed tab, pretty much like Facebook's News Feed, shows the recent activity of the other people you follow. Photos (yes, they now allow photo uploads!), reviews or other recommendations. Mine's empty as of the moment since I haven't been active in Zomato and haven't followed anyone yet.
Lastly, the Profile tab which showcases your information, recent activity and statistics. They also have this 'Foodie Levels' and network rank that increases everytime you post a review, gain a certain number of followers or post a food photo. I think this has always been a feature of Zomato and it's great to keep foodies interested and active.
You can now also set a Zomato handle or username so your Zomato URL can be easily remembered or searching for your profile in the app is hassle-free.
5. Speed dial
When exploring the website or the app, you will see this lightning bolt sign, which is the Speed Dial. When you tap on the Speed Dial button of a specific restaurant's page, its contact number will be added to your Speed Dial page. You can access the numbers and even call the numbers even when you're not connected to the Internet. This is especially helpful when you frequently order from a restaurant, you don't have to search everytime you need their number and just directly call them using Zomato's Speed Dial feature.
6. The Verified Profiles
Very much like Twitter's Verified User feature, Zomato added the Verified Profiles feature to recognize great, unbiased reviews from passionate foodies who contribute regularly. I think it's an awesome initiative! Interested in getting the star? Read more about Verified Profiles here.
1. I read somewhere that there used to be an Events/Festivals Section in Zomato that was discontinued. I wish they would bring this back. It certainly would make the app a more complete and go-to software when trying to search for local food festivals, food fairs or other events.
2. Incorporating promotions. Not necessarily the groupons kind but at least the latest promos of the restaurants in their data base. So for example, on a Wednesday night, while looking for restaurants to have dinner, people can also check out which restaurants with bars are offering PhP 20 mojitos or unlimited margaritas because it's Ladies' Night, or say, when the Twister Fries are back in Mickey Ds. Something like that.
3. Adding social media links to restaurant pages. I think it's nice also to put the restaurants' Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts to their respective profiles so people could easily follow them on their social media accounts. I haven't tried if Zomato allows cross-posting/cross-linking too.
Indeed, Zomato has drastically improved the interface of both their website and mobile app. It's now cleaner, more user-friendly, smooth and interactive. It definitely changed the way I think about Zomato and made me want to be active again.
I love that this will certainly pave way to advocate the food culture even more. Restaurant and food searches made faster and easier by the brand new Zomato.
For more information about Zomato, please visit their website.
The Zomato app is available for download for Windows, Blackberry, Apple and Android phones.

As the EU cookie law comes into full effect this week there's been a lot of hoo-haa about businesses tracking what you are doing online and it seems that barely a week goes by with out Facebook making some changes that has people up in arms about their privacy.
But that's not what this blog is about. There's been plenty written on those topics. I'm going to tell you a tale about another way you can be telling the world more than you thought…
And when I say tale, I mean a real life example.
The other day I missed a call on my phone.
On listening to the voice mail, I quickly realised that the message wasn't for me. But from that one phone call I now know more about the caller than they realise.
So what do I know and how did I find this out (NB I did all this "research" sat on the sofa on my blackberry)
- His home phone number. The number showed up on my phone and he said he was calling from home.
- His name. The first name was clear in the message. Couldn't clearly get the surname from the message but other data helped me find this.
- A hobby – he referred to his hobby in the message.
- The person he was leaving the message for shares the same hobby – it's not a common hobby and he had exciting news for the person about it.
- He has a daughter
- He's either separated or divorced. In the message he said he'd been hanging out with his daughter.
- He's involved in a running a sporting club. His name's isn't common and from the phone number I knew where in the country he lives and google is my friend for this!
- His full address and the address of a property he rents out. Again, from the phone number and using google.
- He's looking to have some sort of "romantic" involvement with the person he was leaving the message for. If you heard the message you'd agree
- His home email address.
- His work email, who he works for and his occupation
- His father's name, DOB and some of his family history
I could probably find out more if I tried…but all this from a phone message.
Makes you think doesn't it!

Logging practices elevate fire risk
Logging practices elevate wildfire risk on public land
There is no dispute that wildfire is the greatest threat to Melbourne's catchments and Melbourne's water security. It is of great concern that current logging practices elevate wildfire risks in the wet forests, as shown scientifically. This fact was recently raised by experts at the Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission.
For more information see Logging elevate wildfire risk on public land, in brief:
1. Over the past two decades one in 20 wildfires have been started by logging industry practices in State forests. order Topamax
2. Scientific research has already shown that regrowth after clearfell logging in wet forests is drier and more fire prone than unlogged forests. This issue has been raised by fire experts in the Bushfire Royal Commission.
3. Historically, resources have been diverted away from fuel reduction burns in favour of burning off clearfell logged areas in State forest to promote regrowth.
4. Rainforests can act as natural firebreaks in moderate to low fire conditions. Logging inhibits the ability of rainforest to act as a firebreak.
5. The Government's own research shows that thinning forests makes them drier and more fire prone.

This is our collection of demo 3D models. Some are impressive 3D models, some (most) are simple models demonstrating some technical feature. Most of the models are in X3D and VRML formats, but in general various formats handled by view3dscene and Castle Game Engine are used. At the beginning of most files (remember that you can open X3D files in normal text editor too) you can find comments explaining what this file demonstrates.
These models were created to test our Castle Game Engine, but many of them should also be handled by other conforming X3D and VRML browsers.
Files inside
warnings/ subdirectories are deliberately invalid
in some ways. Good X3D browser should display a sensible warning
message and (when possible) continue (omitting only the problematic part).
Comments and contributions to these demos are most welcome. See forum for ways to contact us. If you have a cool 3D model, something interesting, or maybe just something difficult for our engine, please share it with us! We love to see how you use our tools :)
Feel free to expand, modify, redistribute these test files — they are covered by GNU GPL >= 2 license.
You can always download the very current version of these models from our GitHub project, like this:
git clone https://github.com/castle-engine/demo-models.git
Most of the 3D models here were created by Kambi (Michalis Kamburelis). Simple test models were simply manually crafted in a text editor. The more complicated meshes were created in Blender (see our Blender exporting documentation), you will find the .blend source files inside. For 2D art I usually use GIMP. Skies generated with Terragen.
Large/important contributions:
Victor Amat provided a lot of interesting demos.
To mention some:
flat mirrors by
RenderedTexture (see
Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (see
shadow maps tests (including demo to visualize bias/scale,
test textures for spherical mapping testing (
Thousand thanks!
Stephen H. France provided various tests for
Extrusion and others. Thanks!
Various models were based on OpenGameArt.org models, also some textures were taken from there. This is a great site where you can find models and textures on clear open-source licenses (GPL or CC), thousand thanks go to it's many contributors.
Examples include
Shinto Shrine

08 Feb 5 Skincare Mistakes You Need to Avoid
What you need to know.
This is a photo of me with no makeup on whatsoever. This photo is also 100% unedited. I am proud of my clear skin because it takes a lot of hard work to keep it healthy. As a makeup artist, I work with skin all the time. Everyone's skin is different so I need to be able to communicate with my clients and assess their skin in order to know what products will and will not work for them. Contrary to popular belief, a makeup artist does not wave a magic wand and suddenly the skin is perfect. Unfortunately, that's the job of the retoucher as makeup will not and will never erase your skin problems. It will always show in certain lighting. That is why skincare is so important as it is the only way to smooth out those bumps. It takes a long time and a lot of effort but trust me when I say all of the effort is worth it in the end. If you have never had smooth skin, don't lose hope. It IS possible. I wanted to avoid making this post too long so I decided to start with mistakes in skincare. Skincare steps will follow in another post. For now, make sure you are avoiding these mistakes as the first step to your perfect skin!
Mistake: Falling into bed with face on fleek!
When it comes to skincare there are a lot of mistakes that we have all made. I am sure we have all had those nights where we're just too lazy to take our makeup off and so we fall into bed with dirty faces. It's an easy mistake. However, it is one of the worst mistakes. And no, there is no amazing fix like "if you go to bed with moisturizer over it, it works!" You are damaging your skin. You will break out. When you sleep, your body is rejuvenating itself. That includes your skin. While sleeping your skin absorbs whatever oils, dirt or nutrients it has on it. Someone once told me it's like all the skin cells go to a big feast and what's on the table is what's on top of your skin. Seeing as all of that is absorbed into the skin you'd better make sure that you're feeding your skin good things and not left-behind makeup. It is important to take care of your skin morning and night. I would say at the very least do a night routine and apply sunscreen in the morning but work your way towards a full skincare routine.
Mistake: 2-Step Routine.
There are a lot of steps in a skincare routine. It can be a little bit overwhelming at first, especially if you are the kind of person that only cleanses and moisturizes. I'll go into more detail in a later skincare post. But trust me, each step is important and plays a different, very important role in your skincare. One of the most skipped steps in skincare (especially that I have seen in Cape Town) is toner. Ladies and gentleman, incorporating a good toner into your skincare routine if you have not been using one will already make a huge difference in the health, look and feel of your skin. I cannot tell you how many times I recited this to customers when I was working at Inglot but a toner is unbelievably important to balance the pH level of the skin. The skin is supposed to be slightly acidic at 5.5 in order to kill bacteria on the surface. The skin can become very oily or very dry if the pH is wrong. An unbalanced pH can also allow bacteria to THRIVE on the skin. So if you are suffering from breakouts and you are not using a toner, just start using a toner. Rose water is an affordable, natural toner and I often tout it as the holy grail of skincare because of what it has done for my skin.
Mistake: Putting things on your skin that are harmful to the skin!
This is probably the easiest skincare mistake to make. Even if you think your skincare routine is 100% perfect you might still be damaging your skin by putting things on it that are harmful to the skin. There are many ingredients that cause skin irritation and can result in rashes, breakouts, inflamed skin etc. But these ingredients are commonly used in skincare products! I invite you to revisit the ingredients list on your skincare products and start throwing out what is probably doing more harm than good. The first ingredient that will almost always cause irritation is fragrance. I have found myself perusing skincare ingredients labels only to find myself endlessly enraged by the unbelievably unnecessary use of fragrance in skincare. I will more often than not also find myself writing angry emails to the companies including fragrance in their products. But they don't care because customers will often buy a product because of its smell. I was guilty of this in the past but no longer! I don't care too much about fragrance in body products but I don't need my face to smell amazing especially if it is causing skin problems. My hate mail always includes a line stating that if I wanted to smell good I would use the expensive perfumes that are constantly marketed to me every time I walk into a Woolworths (and often the same perfume by a different seller every second step!) and I would certainly not spray said perfume on my face. So get rid of your fragranced skincare today and go buy yourself Issey Miyake – people will smell you from a mile away and you won't have to put it on your face. There is an endless list of ingredients that you can find all over the internet with the exact reasons why you should not use certain ingredients on your skin – it would be too lengthy to name them all with their reasons here.
Mistake: Using a foaming wash.
This mistake ties in with the previous one because it involves the avoidance of a skin irritant called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate which is what causes your favourite foaming wash to foam. I felt it necessary to dedicate a whole point to this because everyone I have known has used a foaming wash for cleansing at some point in time. It is such a common mistake, you need to know to start avoiding it NOW. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate can irritate and dry out the skin as well as cause damage to the eyes and disrupt the natural oil balance of the skin. Contrary to popular belief oils are HIGHLY important for your skin. If the oils are unbalanced you can become very oily or very dry making life unnecessarily hard for you. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is also said to be a major contributor to acne! So why do companies keep making foaming washes for you to happily cleanse away your healthy skin? Because people buy it. Don't fall into this trap! My best recommendation is a 2-step cleanse. First go in with an oil-cleanser. I can highly recommend Clarins Pure Melt. Once you've rinsed that off, use a micellar water on a cotton pad to finish off your cleansing step. Make sure that cotton pad comes away clean otherwise your face is not clean and you'll have to go in with another cotton pad. We don't want to go to bed with any dirt on our faces, as previously discussed.
Mistake: Not using what is right for your skin.
The road to beautiful skin is hard. But it will become a lot easier if you know your skin type and evaluate what skincare problems you actually want to solve. This can be getting rid of bacterial or fungal acne. Or you could want to minimize the look of your pores, or you have dry skin and you want to progress to a point where your skin is more normal. One fundamental thing that people get wrong is thinking that your skin type can't change. In winter I had the most beautifully clear skin but it was as dry as Cape Town's dams are at the moment. Now that summer is fully upon us and wrecking its havoc, my skin is combination with an extremely oily T-zone. Knowing your skin type will allow you first of all to choose skincare products that are right for you and won't aggravate your dryness / oiliness. Knowing what problems you want to treat will further allow you to investigate which ingredients will help with those specific problems so you can search for them in your skincare. Everyone's skin is different and you cannot always use the same products that your favourite youtuber uses. Find what works for you and keep re-evaluating your skin and your skincare products.
In conclusion, there is a lot more advice to give and a lot more advice freely available on the internet. If you start avoiding these 5 mistakes you will have already made some progress towards your skincare goals. Do your research and find out exactly what your skin needs, what's in your skincare and what it is doing for your skin. You don't have to use the most expensive skincare, just make sure what you are using is not going to be harmful to your skin or aggravate any problems that you are having. Dermatologists are often paid to advertise certain products so make sure you are also researching products recommended by them as well.
Good luck on your skincare journey!
