Novel topological crystalline insulator shows mass appeal
[unable to retrieve full-text content]Physicists have theorized that topological crystalline insulators possess unique surface states as a result of crystalline symmetry. An international team of researchers has confirmed that experimental signature and revealed that disrupting the lattice-like structure imparts mass upon previously mass-less electrons. Furthermore, the researchers found manipulating structural symmetry offers a degree of control over the electronic phases of the solid-state material.

Samsung 'Galaxy Gear' may ignite smartwatch wars next week
Samsung 
7 hours ago

One design patent shows a long screen and segmented band.
The next year or two will be a battleground for the new device everyone's talking about, even if no one is sure they want one: the smartwatch. And Samsung is hoping to get a jump on the competition by releasing its Galaxy Gear watch early ? reportedly, as soon as next week.
Apple, which is expected to announce new iPhones Sept. 10, could also introduce its own smartwatch then, and Samsung's launch could be considered a tactical move to get its foot in the door before Apple steals the show.
Information about the Gear has been leaking out for weeks in bits and pieces. The Android-powered watch will have an AMOLED display, slightly curved to better fit your wrist. But nobody seems quite sure about the size and shape.
Design patents filed in Korea (originally spotted by the blog SamMobile) show a futuristic look and elongated screen, but they may not reflect the shipping product. Samsung has admitted it has been working on the watch for a long time, so several versions may have been patented, and some may not be quite ready for release; one rumored model with a flexible display, for example, may have to wait until the technology is ready for mass deployment.

Another patent shows a more rounded design.
As for functionality, the Gear is reportedly not a "watchphone," i.e. a complete smartphone device, SIM card and all, packed into a watch-sized package. Instead, it would be more of a smartphone companion, like the highly hyped (but somewhat limited) Pebble smartwatch, putting notifications, tweets, and texts on your wrist.
An unnamed source told GigaOm, however, that the device will also have a microphone, speaker, and even a tiny camera. It's shaping up to be the gadget people have been dreaming of since Dick Tracy's "two-way wrist radio," a familiar reference for over half a century.
If Samsung's ultra-smart Galaxy S4 is any indication, the Gear will be packed with neat little features and will almost certainly integrate deeply with the company's smartphone ecosystem: Special apps, accessories, and abilities exclusive to those willing to go all-Samsung with their gadget menagerie.
The launch is?rumored for Sept. 4; with Apple's event scheduled for just a week after that, it may not be much of a lead, but firing the first shot in this high-tech battle could give Samsung an edge.

Exploring Tarak
This is the General OOC topic for the roleplay Exploring Tarak.
Here, players are welcome to ask any and all questions about the world of Tarak, or continue OOC discussions that may have picked up during the roleplay.
This is also a good location to discuss suggestions for locations, proposed characters, etc. While this is a fledgling roleplay, the world has long been in the making and is actually the world I am utilizing for my novel in progress. There is a long history and an intense plot already in place for the novel that I hope to get into in the roleplays.
For me, this roleplay is a tool to help me further flesh out the details of this world and my characters. Some of the characters you interact with here may be characters in my novel.
As a disclaimer: I will not use any of your characters in my book, as I plan to have it published. Neither will I reveal the entire story, as such would be counterproductive to my publishing efforts.
May you rise up to meet the road before you, at times tortuous, volatile and grueling;
May you embrace the tempestuous elements that bear down upon you,
Until the sun shines warm upon your face.

What I've Learned About Weight Loss From Decades In The Fitness ...
A few decades in the fitness industry has given me a lot of time to focus on health and physiques, my own in particular.?
I've tried a wide variety of workouts and diets. I've been a dancer, an aerobics instructor, a dedicated gym rat and a yoga instructor.?I've gone vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, spent time in the Zone, and thrown it all out to eat whatever I felt like eating.?
Along the way, I've had periods when I felt strong and healthy and others when I've felt worn-out, lacked joy, and been above my ideal weight.?One thing I know to be true is that to achieve the health and wellness you want, you only need to learn one lesson:?
Nothing outside stops you. You stop you.
This is a challenging perspective to live with. If we blame the cookie for our weight gain, our jobs for preventing us from exercising, or our relationships for our unhappiness?we don't need to look too deeply into ourselves and our choices.?
When we find ourselves feeling depleted, catching colds easily, or gaining unwanted weight, it's often because we're making lifestyle choices that are not aligned with our best interests.?
Our bodies are a reflection of what's happening in our heads.?
Shopping for fresh food, cooking healthy meals, and exercising all require substantial time and thought. However, tearing open a bag of processed carbs, or sitting on the couch doesn't take much effort at all.?
When our thoughts and feelings have tanked our sense of self value, we're no longer inclined to put forth the effort required to maintain our health.?
The obstacle is not that we don't have the knowledge, access, or ability to take care of ourselves, it's that we don't feel worthy of the effort.?
This mindset also shows up in our approach toward self medicating. At the end of a particularly challenging day, do you tell yourself you deserve to take a yoga class? Or do you "deserve" a cocktail??
Of course, we deserve to feel better when we're under stress. We deserve to give ourselves what's best for us.?We don't deserve a toxic shortcut.?
We know this. But choices get tricky if our self esteem is in the gutter. In these times, making a commitment to our health can take a gargantuan effort that's almost impossible to sustain long-term.?
When we feel good about ourselves and believe we're worth our own effort, leading a healthy lifestyle becomes much easier.?
It's not the junk food, challenging circumstances, or difficult people in our world that prevent us from obtaining our wellness goals. It's our inside world that steers our choices, our actions, and our reactions. Accepting this truth is like pulling a band-aid off in one jerk. It's startling and it feels a bit raw, but healing what's underneath is where the progress is. ?

Israel military blog apologises after using Suria KLCC photo, calling it ?lavish Gaza mall?
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) apologised today for putting up a photograph of Malaysia's Suria KLCC and captioning it as a "lavish Gaza mall" in the IDF blog.
Israeli news portal Haaretz reported that the IDF spokesperson had apologised on its Twitter account for the caption and photograph, saying it was ?a mistake made in good conscience".
This was after another online media outlet, Electronic Intifada, had revealed that the mall is actually Suria KLCC located in the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
The blog, akin to a tourism brochure, had been started to counter claims that Gaza, once a hostile strip in the nation, is facing a humanitarian crisis.
It was reported that when the mistake was revealed, the picture was taken down, adding that it was important to note, however, that "the post contained 17 accurate pictures which properly reflected the subject in question". - August 16, 2013.

Population Distribution GIF - Business Insider
For your morning enjoyment, here's a delightful way to view the change, over time, of the US population, in terms of the relative size of various age groups.
It goes all the way from 1900 to 2060, and you can nicely observe phenomenons like the baby bust, the baby boom, the current retirement boom, and the future periods when the boomers will die off.
It was put together by the brilliant Calculated Risk.
