A miracle is simply an unexplainable phenomenon that supersedes an individual's level of rational thinking. A cave man who saw fire for d first time or a red Indian that saw a train for the first time, both believed they witnessing sth extraordinary so it had to be a miracle. When it was sth so simple and explainable. FYI I do believe strange ish happens but labelling every and anything a miracle is just damn right stupidity. |

Literature / Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition Season 2 - Round 2 - Hot Topics by scorpidmo(m): 10:43am On Aug 19, 2013 |
Reserved for number 8 Female Circumcision Designer: Lightheart Why did you choose your Topic? First and foremost, i was captivated by the titles on offer. Having just discovered the words of painting with words a few months back, i decided to stretch the envelope of my imagination with this poem. In this patriarchal world, where most men believe women are lower than a third class citizen, are of no more use when the strength to breed fades and little girls need to be circumcised to prevent them from deriving sexual pleasure when they get married. i felt their voice deserves to be heard. What Unique experience did you derive from working with a designer? Poetry as a form of writing offers the writer a chance to express himself with words, creating an image in the mind of the reader driving home the essence of the poem. But alas a picture/painting says more than a thousand words. He was able to bring the poem to life. Working with someone i had never met proved how far reaching and advanced technology has gotten, exchanging ideas through emails, sms and phone calls trying to meet deadlines. It was an exhilarating experience and would really love to explore it more. What were the constraints involved in working in a team? Surprisingly there weren't many bumps as one might expect considering we never met. The only constraint that actually came up was getting the work finished on time, apart from that it was all rosy on this side of the hill. What is the Plot of the Poem The poem tells the story of a girl struggling with different after undergoing a failed circumcision with resulted in serious damage to her clitoris. This left her with deep emotional scars changing her views on life, from a girl that dreams about fairies, princes and other things little girls dream of to a person who finds it hard to relate well with her baby sister because she reminds of her things she can't have. Even with her mixed feelings toward her sister, she still feels she shouldn't have to go through with what she did. But because of her status in society, she can't do anything other than pray it works out well for her sister. The Design The design is pretty simple and straightforward depicting the image of a little baby that's about to undergo a life changing procedure with the mother providing support and comfort. Description of Terminologies used The poem was designed to be an easy read with little/no idioms or complex words. Wonderland - which is an imaginary world filled with bunnies,witches etc Tristam and Iseult - a love filled with passion, betrayal, misery and an untimely death. They shared a bond that couldn't be broken with distance. It was used in this to poem express the strength of the familial bond she shared with her sister and the possibility of it ending in misery because of the forthcoming circumcision. Message of the Poem Female circumcision should be stopped, it is a barbaric custom that has nothing to do with religion and will only lead to disastrous complications both mentally and physically. Like a famous poet once said "Work while it's still called today for the night cometh wherein no man can work". Let's say no now while we still can. 1 Like |

Science/Technology / The Chinese Finally Turned Human Urine To Tooth by scorpidmo(m): 10:21pm On Aug 01, 2013 |
China known for her ingenuity in different spheres of life, with a population that exceeds a billion and a work environment that fosters growth. It isn't much of a surprise when something spectacular comes from her inhabitants. Chinese researchers describe how stem cells derived from urine could be used to generate solid organs and tissues, including teeth. Their study is published this week in the open-access journal Cell Regeneration. The researchers hope the technique might one day help provide new, tailor-made teeth for dental patients The Chinese researchers, led by Duanqing Pei and Jinglei Cai at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory of Regenerative Biology and Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, generated stem cells from kidney lining cells in human urine and grew them under special conditions into sheets of epithelial tissue — a type that includes skin and teeth. The scientists mixed mouse cells and human cells to create the different types of cells that make up a human tooth: pulp, dentin and enamel. The little creations were physically and structurally “quite similar” to human teeth, the study says, though they are not as strong -- yet -- as natural human teeth. The idea of growing something eerily similar to the human tooth in a mouse gives me the creeps but if the unlimited volume of urine each individual produces daily that will be good "recycling". Further research still needs to be done, the scientist acknowledges but replacing a tooth lost from a bar fight will just be as easy peeing into a cup. http://ember365.com/e365/index.php/culture/item/the-chinese-finally-turned-human-urine-to-tooth

Science/Technology / Sixth Sense: Technology Anywhere, Anyhow by scorpidmo(m): 7:02am On Jun 18, 2013 |
Over the years, technologists have been providing easier means of interfacing the "normal" world with the digital world. We've seen bananas, stairs and so many other everyday items even running water from a tap producing music notes. With advancements in technology which resulted in miniaturisation of digital devices, we've never been able to link the digital devices and our interactions with the physical world. Information is confined traditionally on paper or digitally on a screen. As humans we've evolved millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses to perceive information about it; that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated about everything and which is increasingly all available online. SixthSense bridges this gap, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures. ‘SixthSense’ frees information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer. It was developed by Pranav Mistry, who comes from Palanpur, a small town of northern Gujarat, India. He graduated as Masters of Design from IIT Bombay and Masters of Media Arts and Sciences from MIT Media Lab. Before joining Media Lab, he worked with Microsoft as a UX Researcher. At present, he's a PhD student and Researcher at MIT Media Lab. The device is pretty simple, comprising of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks user's hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tip of the user’s fingers using simple computer-vision techniques. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. The maximum number of tracked fingers is only constrained by the number of unique fiducials, thus SixthSense also supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction. The SixthSense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. The gesture of drawing a circle on the user’s wrist projects an analog watch. http://ember365.com/e365/index.php/geek/item/sixth-sense-technology-anywhere-anyhow

Computers / Combining Different Internet Connections To Super Fast Connection by scorpidmo(m): 11:03pm On Jun 06, 2013 |
Some internet connections can be painfully slow, some free and while some are ridiculously expensive. Imagine being able to combine all these to create a super-fast, reliable connection. In this piece, we aim to present to you a way of increasing your productivity by speeding up your internet connection. This is a sequel to Turning your pc into a hotspot. Dispatch comes installed with the connectify hotspot package. It allows you to do things that wouldn’t normally be possible on a slow, crowded, yet free network, while not running up a crazy bill on your expensive hotspot. Dispatch lets you set different priorities for certain networks, so you can set the airport WiFi or an Ethernet connection to “primary,” and your hotspot to “secondary.” Connectify Dispatch gives you all of the bandwidth bonding capabilities of those multi-WAN hardware load balancing routers at a fraction of the cost. No need to waste time and money configuring and carrying around another hardware device. Dispatch is a software-based Internet load balancer that offers premium features like 3G and 4G link bonding, at-a-glance Internet speed testing (via the Dispatch Analytics Dashboard), and much more. One of the great advantages of Dispatch is that it load balances any Internet connection that you have working on your PC, whether they are built-in, USB devices, or Wi-Fi networks. http://ember365.com/e365/index.php/geek/item/how-to-combine-internet-connections-using-conectify-dispatch
