neurosciencestuff: Play an instrument? You probably react faster, too Could learning to play a musical instrument help the elderly react faster and stay alert? Quite likely, according to a new study by Université de Montréal’s School of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology, part of UdeM’s medical faculty. Published in the U.S. journal Brain and Cognition, the study shows that musicians have faster reaction times to sensory stimuli than non-musicians have. And that has implications for preventing some effects of aging, said lead researcher Simon Landry, whose study is part of his doctoral thesis in biomedical science. “The more we know about the impact of musi…

the-future-now: Scientists figured out how to convert polluted air into clean energy In an era of growing concern for the environment, scientists in Belgium have come up with the groundwork for one possible solution: converting air pollution into power. The device that can do it currently fits into the palm of a hand. It relies on solar power to convert polluted air compounds into stored hydrogen, a source of clean energy. It has two chambers separated by a membrane; one chamber cleans the air and the other generates the hydrogen gas. Air with a higher concentration of pollutants ultimately creates stronger electrical currents. This could be good news for citi…

Dutch open 'world's largest offshore' wind farm: mindblowingscience: Dutch officials on Monday opened what is being billed as one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms, with 150 turbines spinning in action far out in the North Sea. Over the next 15 years, the Gemini windpark, which lies some 85 kilometres (53 miles) off the northern coast of The Netherlands, will meet the energy needs of about 1.5 million people. At full winds the windpark has a generating capacity of some 600 megawatts, and will help supply some 785,000 Dutch households with renewable energy, the company said. “We are now officially in the operational stage,” the company’s managing director Ma…

NASA Wants Your Code! Boost Supercomputer Software Speed and Win $55,000: mindblowingscience: If you’re a computer programmer with some time on your hands, NASA needs you! The agency said it wants to streamline a piece of software used for aviation research and run on one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. To do so, NASA has teamed up with HeroX and Topcoder to launch the High Performance Fast Computing Challenge (HPFCC), according to a statement. The challenge, should you choose to accept it entails getting NASA’s FUN3D design software to run faster — 10 to 10,000 times faster, in fact. [Images: NASA’s Vision of Future Air Travel] This may sound like a h…

'Humanlike' ways of thinking evolved 1.8 million years ago, suggests new study: mindblowingscience: By using highly advanced brain imaging technology to observe modern humans crafting ancient tools, an Indiana University neuroarchaeologist has found evidence that human-like ways of thinking may have emerged as early as 1.8 million years ago. The results, reported May 8 in the journal Nature Human Behavior, place the appearance of human-like cognition at the emergence of Homo erectus, an early apelike species of human first found in Africa whose evolution predates Neanderthals by nearly 600,000 years. “This is a significant result because it’s commonly thought our mos…

Boom! Supersonic Passenger Jet Coming by 2020: mindblowingscience: Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic has just partnered with startup Boom Technology to build a supersonic aircraft, Boom Technology announced. The plane would zip through the skies faster than the Concorde jet or any other commercial aircraft today, Boom Technology said. Aircraft that fly faster than the speed of sound were first developed in the mid-20th century. But regulations and technical challenges halted innovation and expansion of the concept, said Boom Technology, which has headquarters in Denver. The aviation startup said it aims to change that by developing a modern, supersonic passenger jet…

Amazon is dominating the voice-controlled speaker market, according to a new forecast from eMarketer out this morning. The maker of the Echo-branded speakers will have 70.6 percent of all voice-enabled speaker users in the U.S. this year – well ahead of Google Home’s 23.8 percent and other, smaller players like Lenovo, LG, Harmon Kardon, and Mattel, who combined only account for 5.6 percent of users. The new report backs up another from VoiceLabs released in January, which also found that Amazon was leading the voice-first device market, thanks to Echo’s popularity. While the market itself is not expected to be a winner-take-all scenario, competitors like Amazon…

currentsinbiology: Microscopic soil creatures could orchestrate massive tree migrations Warming temperatures are prompting some tree species in the Rocky Mountains to “migrate” to higher elevations in order to survive. Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have discovered that tiny below-ground organisms play a role in this phenomenon—and could be used to encourage tree migration in order to preserve heat-sensitive species. Their work shows how these invisible biotic communities create “soil highways” for young trees, meaning they could determine how quickly species march uphill, if at all. The newfound role of th…

currentsinbiology: Eating cheese does not raise risk of heart attack or stroke, study finds Consuming cheese, milk and yoghurt – even full-fat versions – does not increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke, according to research that challenges the widely held belief that dairy products can damage health. The findings, from an international team of experts, contradict the view that dairy products can be harmful because of their high saturated fat content. The experts dismiss that fear as “a misconception [and] mistaken belief”. The results come from a new meta-analysis of 29 previous studies of whether dairy products increase the risk of death from any cau…

A review of global poverty in The Economist makes the claim: Reference: http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2017/05/economist-explains-1?cid1=cust%2Fddnew%2Fn%2Fn%2Fn%2F2017053n%2Fowned%2Fn%2Fn%2Fnwl%2Fn%2Fn%2Fap%2FDaily_Dispatch%2Femail However, The Economist predicts that it will be more difficult to make further reductions in the number of people living in extreme poverty. Poverty reduction in India: We could think that India would be able to quickly make quick progress in poverty reduction. But a closer examination makes this doubtful, the illustration below shows a scene that is all too common in India. …

Because when our site was supposedly experiencing a DDoS attack during a very heavily trafficked day our hosting company decided to block ALL AT&T phones. My phone still shows “forbidden” as well. Invision Power Services seems to think it is not them though but rather another service that is preventing ALL AT&T phones from accessing their website. I wonder if this has blocked ALL AT&T phones from EVERY IPS 4.x website out there? Are there any other admins experiencing the same problem?
