I would also agree with you if it wasn’t for the fact that when you disable yourself then we could collectively get stuck paying your medical bills and welfare if you do not have the proper insurance and financial well being. I would say if he has proper medical and disability insurance, let him do whatever he wants. This is the same view I have about drugs, it is none of my business until I have to start paying higher taxes, cause of your choices.

Escape break week boredom with a full week of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic activities! Each day children explore different STEM concepts through hands-on exploration, experiments, and art projects. Activities include animal exploration, magnet play, building and construction, pattern making and so much more! December Break Week activities brought to us by Microsoft.

Rivet Joint (17) RC-135V/W, built 1962-1964: Gathers real-time intelligence from intercepted electronic and other signals, including voice and radio communications, to pass on to tactical commanders as well as higher authority. Each plane is worth about $178 million.

We describe a framework for interactive molecular dynamics in a multiuser virtual reality (VR) environment, combining rigorous cloud-mounted atomistic physics simulations with commodity VR hardware, which we have made accessible to readers (see isci.itch.io/nsb-imd). It allows users to visualize and sample, with atomic-level precision, the structures and dynamics of complex molecular structures “on the fly” and to interact with other users in the same virtual environment. A series of controlled studies, in which participants were tasked with a range of molecular manipulation goals (threading methane through a nanotube, changing helical screw sense, and tying a protein knot), quantitatively demonstrate that users within the interactive VR environment can complete sophisticated molecular modeling tasks more quickly than they can using conventional interfaces, especially for molecular pathways and structural transitions whose conformational choreographies are intrinsically three-dimensional. This framework should accelerate progress in nanoscale molecular engineering areas including conformational mapping, drug development, synthetic biology, and catalyst design. More broadly, our findings highlight the potential of VR in scientific domains where three-dimensional dynamics matter, spanning research and education.

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”

To a job seeker, this technology may seem as inscrutable as magic. Accordingly, skeptics abound. Worker advocates worry about its fairness. Privacy hounds fret about its power to amass personal data. And scientists question whether it's reliable and valid.

You left off a useful spring common in industrial and robotic design: constant force springs. They’re the wound spools of flat spring steel; you can find little ones inside of a retractable badge holder, keychain, or cable. Because the same amount of spring is deforming as it unrolls, you get the same force throughout the unrolling process. Using this, you can counter-load against gravity or make things that retract automatically in a smooth uniform motion.

“UNSAFE,” read each of the eight cards, placed on the homes by Municipality of Anchorage building inspectors. “DO NOT ENTER OR OCCUPY.”
