Unlocking Lovelock: Scientist, Inventor, Maverick
- 9 April 2014 — 9 April 2015 *on now
Delve into the archives of James Lovelock, one of Britain's most important living scientists and inventors, in our new exhibition.
Featuring previously unseen materials acquired by the Science Museum in 2012, the exhibition gives a unique insight into Lovelock's creative mind, personality and unconventional ideas.
James Lovelock's career has spanned scientific fields as diverse as medicine, environmental science, atmospheric chemistry and space exploration. He is most famous for formulating the Gaia hypothesis – the idea that Earth is a self-regulating system. This theory has been both hugely influential and controversial. It has profoundly shaped how environmental scientists view issues such as climate change and loss of biodiversity.
Among the highlights of the exhibition are Lovelock's laboratory notebooks, drafts of his papers and equipment from the laboratory in his back garden, where some of his most important work was done. The exhibition also features tools used by Lovelock to build many of his inventions, including a watchmaker's lathe and the home-made gas chromatography equipment that journeyed to the Antarctic and back and proved crucial to scientists' current understanding of global atmospheric pollution.
Unlocking Lovelock provides a unique insight into the life of this extraordinary man and illustrates the enormous value of archives as a resource for future research.

Make Life Worth Living: Nick Hedges' Photographs for Shelter, 1968-72
- 2 October 2014 — 18 January 2015 *on now
A hard-hitting collection of photographs taken by Nick Hedges for Shelter between 1968 and 1972 are to be shown together for the first time in a new exhibition at the Science Museum.
Commissioned by housing charity Shelter to photograph people living in poor housing conditions, documentary photographer Nick Hedges spent three years travelling areas of deprivation around the UK to create this significant body of work reflecting the often distressing reality of the critical social issue of housing.
Hedges donated 1,000 prints from his Shelter work to the National Media Museum in 1983. However, until now their use has been restricted to protect the privacy of his subjects.
Co-curated by Dutch independent curator Hedy van Erp and the National Media Museum's Curator of Photographs Greg Hobson, this moving and inspiring set of black and white photographs of real-life situations exemplifies Hedges' unique position in the practice of documentary photography at the time, which was largely focused on recording conflict and international events.
Hedges' mission to harness the immediate power of photography to change the way we think about social issues led him to create this stirring collection, and his empathy for his subjects is evidenced through his detailed contemporary notes, extracts of which will appear in the exhibition.

Cosmonauts: Birth of the Space Age
- 1 November 2014 — 1 May 2015 *on now
Discover dramatic stories of Russian space exploration this new temporary exhibition. Opening November 2014 and running for 6 months.
For the first time in the UK, the remarkable story of Russian scientific and technological ingenuity that kick-started the space age is to be explored in a landmark new exhibition at the Science Museum.
Cosmonauts will bring to life the stories of Russian space endeavour to dramatic life through a unique collection of space artefacts, many of which have never before been seen either outside Russia.
In 1957 Soviet Russia launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite, and four years later it sent the first human into space - Yuri Gagarin. However, the story of Russian space exploration is much older. Cosmonauts will explore the science and technology of Russian space travel in its cultural and spiritual context, revealing a deep rooted national yearning for space that was shaped by the turbulent early decades of the twentieth century.
Amongst the star objects on display will be real, cosmonaut-flown spacecraft, pioneering rocket engines, space suits and other life support systems. There will also be examples of the personal and poignant - memorabilia belonging to some of the biggest names in spaceflight.
Cosmonauts represents a major collaboration between the Moscow State Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics and the Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos, and draws on the support of many institutions and individuals in the UK and Russia to bring together the most significant collection of space artefacts ever to leave Russia.

About me:
Educated in science, am a post graduate in Psychology. Freelancer Social work. Born in Haflong assam. Grew up in the hills. lived near the Brahmaputra river. Struggled, fought to survive the harshness and cruelty of a society so constrained restricted and merciless. A society which will still have no remorse if meek defenseless women died.
Exhibit change by:
I have had very little opportunity to help condemned beaten battered women, but I would like to help them, pull them out of the gutters they have been pushed into.
Education, even primary education is what many village women need, of any community. vocational training to them....to stop child marriages which are still alive, specially in rajasthan. Stop selling of young women even child girls to men ,taking money by Parents and/or brother. if the girl is battered thrown out, then she is sold to another man. this time the parents and the former husband all recieve money.... maybe sold 9 times or 10 times.... the custom is called Nata-Sata
I'm passionate about:
Try to bring about changes: quality of Life for the Poor, downtrodden people. help educate girls, women, at least basic education for village women.
Rescue missions or psychological support for women who are victims of home violences, either by their husbands, or brothers or father even. rehabilitation for women battered, beaten , thrown out, or made mentally broken/deranged by continuous violence.
Protecting young girls from being sold by their fathers or husbands over and over again to another"husband"
Equality to women.
removing Social stigmas, superstitions, false social norms that destroy the lives of women and men, in the process.

The International Violence Against Women Act
The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) is a historic and unprecedented effort of the U.S. government to take leadership in establishing an overall and integrated approach to respond and address violence against women and girls internationally. The Act establishes a Coordinator to Combat Violence Against Women Internationally. The time is now to capitalize on this awareness and support and to enact this comprehensive vision to address the problem of violence against women.
Help End Women's Poverty: Support the GROWTH Act
The Global Resources and Opportunities for Women to Thrive (GROWTH) Act would address some of the most critical economic barriers women that keep women in poor countries from earning an income, barriers such as unequal property rights, lack of access to credit and trade, and poor wages and working conditions.
For the GROWTH Act to be passed, it needs concerned citizens to urge Congress to support it. Send an automatic letter to your Senators and Representatives asking them to support the bill.
National Day of Action to Eradicate Poverty
In honor of the UN's International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, participate in CARE's National Day of Action October 17, 2008.
Help End Violence Against Women and Girls: Sign the I-VAWA Petition!
It's estimated that 1 out of 3 women worldwide will be the victim of violence or abuse at some point in their lives. This must stop.
The International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA), is a bill now before Congress that, if passed, would, for the first time, comprehensively incorporate these solutions into all U.S. foreign assistance programs - solutions such as promoting women's economic opportunity, addressing violence against girls in school, and working to change public attitudes - bring about transformational change. Please urge Congress to make the IVAWA a reality for the millions of women worldwide it would affect by signing the petition.

Very pleased with this Mario package. In the past, I've tried to "Save money" by getting things at local shops, but have never found everything I'm looking for at one place. And often, I've not found certain items that I was hoping to find. Celebrate Express helps me out SO much with not having to travel (especially with gas prices these days) and getting all my decorating supplies in a few simple steps. Besides all this, I'm able to get specific themes that my kids want, that I haven't been able to find locally!

My son really wanted a Mario party and I could not find Mario in any party store. I told him that we would have to do another theme. I decided to go to pinterest and look up some ideas for a mario cake and the person's page I was on gave me a link to this website. And BAM! I found Mario on this website. I had to pay extra to get it here quickly but I would do it all over again for my son. He absolutely loved his party and his mushroom cupcakes I made. I know in the future I will look here first for his next theme.

My daughter loved the little dog that came with the blanked but the blanket itself has not held up as well as I had hoped. It is just a little bit too small for a full bed and does not come down far enough on the sides. Overall the colors of this blanket are great for a little girl and like that it is reversible.
Item was as stated. Received on time in fact came a day earlier than stated.
I am so glad that I purchased this comforter for my 6 1/2 year old. She loves it and loves the stuffed dog that came with it. I think that it is well made and colors go great with her purple walls.
Bought this for my daughters birthday who loves loves loves puppies. I looked for months to find a bed set before I found this one. The colors are perfect and bright. Washes very nice. The material is a soft silky feel. This was my first item I ordered from overstock and the costumer sercice was perfect and very fast shipping I will definitely order from here again!
The design and colors and quality of the comforter set are worth the price. My granddaughter especially loved the dog that came with the set.

Madeline Tallman, special to wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Instead of reaching for Tylenol or Motrin to cure your next migraine, the drug "Help, I have a headache" may just do the trick.
The medication is one of the products offered by Help Remedies, a start-up company from New York City that aims to make over-the-counter health care simpler for consumers. After making its name known around Manhattan, co-founders Richard Fine and Nathan Frank decided to expand their venture to the nation's capital where health care is a hot topic in the political atmosphere.
In November, the business partners opened a temporary pharmacy called a "Help Shop" on 10th Street NW in the former location of Waffle Shop across from Ford's Theatre. The goal of the pop-up shop was to sell products and spread the word about the company.
Olivia Bell, a sales representative at the D.C. Help Shop, says the store acted more like a gallery than a place of commerce. Much of the store was dedicated to describing the company's philosophy of simplifying the pharmaceutical business.
According to Fine, the company's CEO, health care problems are consistent at doctor's offices, hospital waiting rooms and on prescription labels. Everything is a confusing and difficult process, and health care providers do not make things easier, he says.
To try and fix that, Help Remedies sells single-active ingredient medications, which means that a sleeping pill is just a sleep aid with no extra dyes or other medications. The same goes for pain relievers, which have just one active ingredient in each pill.
"We really started this from a perspective that medicine needed a little more humanity and simplicity," Fine says. "We felt that there was a need to make health care in general simpler, easier, friendlier, more human."
The simplicity goes beyond the product with the names of each medication like the sleep aid called "help I can't sleep."
Melinda Welch, product manager for Help Remedies, worked at the Help Shop until it closed on Nov. 27.
"It's been really neat having people discover the products for the first time," she says. "(We) explain our approach to simple medicine, and, you know, people get it."
Most people were drawn into the shop, not for the products, but for the "live windows," Bell says.
Bell hired people to perform tasks in the store windows to represent the need for different medications. For example, one man walked in high heels on a treadmill to promote the "Help I have a blister" bandage. Another man slept in a fluffy white bed to advertise the "Help I can't sleep" medication.
To add even more humor into the mix, Bell hired two models to man a kissing booth for the imaginary medication "Help I've never been kissed."
Bell says she found the people for the displays on Craig's List.
Inside the shop, medicine was displayed on one wall, while another wall featured T-shirts, in which proceeds from sales were donated to local charities.
This was especially attractive for Austin Mital, a customer from central Pennsylvania, who bought the "Help I'm stupid" shirt.
"I thought it was pretty cool because all the proceeds go to local schools," he says.
Another wall in the store demonstrated how quickly the medication packaging, made of paper pulp and cornstarch, biodegrades in a landfill. After three weeks, only the plastic lining of the packaging remains. The lining takes up to 100 years to disintegrate, and Fine says the company is working to reduce the time.
The design of the square packaging reminds some customers of cell phone apps, Bell says. Fine adds that Help Remedies appeals to a younger demographic and customers from other countries who are less familiar with over-the-counter medicines.
"If you don't understand the brands, you are totally dead in the water," says Fine, referring to over-the-counter medication.
Though Fine and Frank are not medical professionals, they have experience in advertising and marketing. Fine's parents studied epidemiology, but his medical background stops there.
The two launched Help Remedies in 2009 when they placed 10 products in various New York hotels and on Virgin America flights. In 2010, the company gained more momentum when products were sold in the New York pharmacy Duane Reed. Last year, Help Remedies medications were offered in Walgreens, and the products started selling in Target and CVS this year.
Help Remedies has also made an online presence with comical ads. For instance, one promotes headache relief for former presidential candidate Mitt Romney after losing the election and another suggests headache medication for Gen. David Petraeus due to his recent sex scandal.
Fine and Frank are now working to open more Help Shops in large cities around the country to further branch out from New York. Their pill names and creative marketing approach are just one step toward simplifying what they view as complicated health care.
"It you change the tone of an industry," Frank says, "you change everything else."

text: Quote:One option for spicing up (and speeding up) the access to Giant's Workshop is to ride a bike there on the carriage road, rather than hiking. (the hike is not bad tho, and there are several ways you can get there, but each is probably 2-3 miles each way of "boring" hiking) Funny, I just sent off an email to my GF that biking the boring parts might just be the way to go! We can cover alot more ground with alot less whining that way. Great minds think alike Park at the W. Trapps lot, ride Overcliff or Undercliff to Giant's Workshop, chain up yer bikes to a tree there, hike it, then ride back the opposite way you came (for variety's sake) Overcliff and Undercliff sound like they'd be fun to bike on and then stop to see the climbers. Although, that could open a whole nother can of worms when my son asks if we can climb next! Oh, and I checked, the 'A Rock with A View' booklet is $7.95 - cheap at twice the price. I also noticed the edit, and have written down the name of the book. Not sure we'll be able to get it before we get started on Sat. as I'm paranoid about getting a parking spot, but on the way home a stop to buy it is already planned!

Intergalactic Theater
Where things really get interesting, though, is in the home's dedicated home theater. The design of the 20-by-14-foot space is a huge departure from the wide-open, clutterfree interior of the rest of the house. Where the common living spaces are virtually devoid of technology, this room is brimming with gadgets—and rightfully so, as it was created from the get-go as a tribute to Star Wars.
Modern Home Systems had no problem designing and installing the audio and video systems for the room, but they felt it would be best to bring in a theater design specialist to handle the space-age accoutrements. Acoustic Innovations of Boca Raton, Fla., went wild with the concept, incorporating life-size R2D2 and C3PO robots that talk, a three-dimensional fiber optic starfield on the ceiling, and acoustical paneling designed to resemble the doors of a spaceship. The "crew" even enters the theater though a motorized pocket door.
Still, the owners couldn't shake their penchant for a clean aesthetic. Acoustic Innovations implemented a clever way for two full racks of equipment to disappear completely. Attached to a mechanism that rotates 180 degrees, the racks can be turned manually so the equipment faces away from the room. In this position, two concave doors close over the rack. The owners open the doors and turn the rack around to load DVDs or fiddle with the gear.
A Runco DLP projector stays out of sight, too, having been tucked inside a custom-crafted and ventilated soffit at the back of the room. Three front Revel speakers and two subwoofers sit behind a curved, anamorphic 107-inch Stewart Filmscreen display. The screen fabric is "acoustically transparent," explains Gleicher, which allows the sound to pass through unaffected. The remaining four speakers were installed within the framework of the theater as it was being built, and covered with a fabric weave that lets the sound pass into the room.
The Star Wars theater is controlled like every other room in the house. Using a portable Crestron touchpanel like the ones found in the family room, kitchen and other areas, the owners can cue up a movie, switch between lighting effects and adjust the temperature. "When all of the equipment is running, the room can get quite warm," says Gleicher. And when they're ready to leave this galaxy for another, the owners hit the SYSTEM OFF button to shut down every light fixture, A/V component and robot in the room. Quick, easy, and simple: exactly how the homeowners and Modern Home Systems intended it to be.

Movement 1: Introduction: Adagio ma non troppo
Movement 2: Kelvin Grove: Andantino con moto
Movement 3: Auld Robin Gray: Adagio espressivo
Movement 4: Lord Moira's Strathspey: Allegro moderato
Movement 5: Finale: Allegro vivace
There was no set form for such pieces; indeed, as in this case, they could begin in one key and end in another. People expected a slow introduction, a set of variations, and a fast winding-up at the finish, but the rest was up to the composer's whim. Moscheles begins with a quiet orchestral prelude; in the ornate piano section that follows, dotted rhythms of a vaguely Scottish character are prominent. Then, still in the opening key of B flat, the piano gently states the first explicitly Scottish tune, 'Kelvin Grove'. A variation follows, with the tune begun by the string basses and passed around the orchestra as the piano develops its own motive. After an orchestral interlude the piano begins a second, more animated variation. A coda follows, then a modulation to D major, to be the home key from now on. The nostalgic song 'Auld Robin Gray' is heard; the piano's development of the melody becomes increasingly ornate, finally dissolving into a free cadenza. Then a forceful beat begins, suggesting distant marching soldiers, and leads directly into 'Lord Moira's Strathspey'. Moscheles may not have known that Lord Moira (1754–1826) had been a popular commander-in-chief in Scotland, and then, as Marquis of Hastings, Governor-General of India. A strathspey is a slow dance similar to a reel, with a 'low strain' of four bars (repeated) followed by a 'high strain' (also repeated). Rather than variations, Moscheles follows this tune with development, leading through various keys and including a triumphant orchestral rendering of the tune. Over the drumbeat rhythm 'Auld Robin Gray' reappears; then, after a pause on the dominant, a rapid version of 'Kelvin Grove' on the piano starts the brief, brilliant finale.

This unique pinecone-shaped metal lantern fits over a Frasier Fir Votive Candle in glass. When lit, it sheds a warm, peaceful glow that looks lovely on an entryway table or as a cozy winter window display.
Lovely lantern
I love this cast iron lantern. It is a nice size. It is rustic but artistic and I love the pinecone appearance. It is easy to use and move around.

pinecone lantern
The pinecone lantern looks nice, but not smooth on the top, by the handle. Very rough on top. Should exchange for another, but they all might be that way.
Gorgeous but not really a lantern
I love the shadows this product creates but thought that there would be a bottom that held the candle inside. Instead the "lantern" just sits over the candle so you can't really pick up the whole thing and use it as an actual lantern.
Wonderful winter gift
I am giving 4 of these lanterns for Christmas. Mine smells and looks beautiful. I know my recipients will enjoy this, also. As always, the scent of Frasier Fir is wonderful but it is also so perfect to burn into the winter months and not just during December.
Frasier Fir Pinecone Lantern
Purchased this item for myself as I love the scent of fir trees but thought it was so attractive, I gave it to my daughter as part of her birthday gifts. She loved it and lit the candle immediately in her den.

When it comes to buying a new HDTV, it looks like Samsung is the tops—at least during the planning process. ABI Research Technology says that Samsung took the top spot in U.S. consumer HDTV purchase intent for the first half of 2012.
When asked what manufacturer potential HDTV buyers were most interested in, 20 percent of respondents said Samsung. Right on their heels was Sony, with 19 percent. It may seem like a close match, but previous title holders Sony had 27 percent in 2011.
Both LG (12 percent) and Vizio (11 percent) also saw jumps over the last survey.
"Regardless how long-lasting this shift in consumer interest may be, Sony continues to face a difficult challenge with its TV business, as do many TV manufacturers," says senior analyst Michael Inouye. "Consumers continue to place screen size, display technology, and above all, price, as the most vital features for future TV purchases—all of which conspire to make differentiation in the TV market increasingly difficult."
ABI Research's Technology Barometer: Connected Home and Computing Research Service also says that features such as web connectivity and 3D haven't sparked the demand that manufacturers were counting on to generate deeper margins.
In fact, 3D seems the least important feature when asked about purchase intent, with 39 percent of respondents saying that they have no interest in a 3D-ready HDTV.
"Samsung has perhaps found the right balance between pricing, features, and form factor as the company continues to outpace the competition in the flat panel TV market," says Inouye. "While 3D and Internet connectivity have not generated the boost to the bottom line as some had hoped, the latter at least remains an essential ingredient to best address the changing consumer landscape for CE."

Bush declares, "In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." Bush's claim of victory in what became known as the "Mission Accomplished" speech drew criticism as the war in Iraq continued for several years thereafter.

The Weekend's Best Dressed: Sienna Miller, Gwyneth Paltrow & Taylor Swift Are All-White
GALLERY >> The Weekend's Best Dressed
Sienna Miller is back! And she was looking as sleek as ever channeling THAT Gwynnie-at-the-Oscars ensemble. But Sienna wasn't the only cat that got the cream this weekend - we also spotted Taylor Swift, Ashley Greene and Gwyneth Paltrow herself rocking fresh white frocks. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga was in London town sporting a bizarre set of gold jewels and Jessica Biel looked fabulously feminine in Gucci florals. Click through the gallery above to see all of the weekend's best dressers...
Sienna Miller
The Hamptons International Film Festival was Sienna's first red carpet appearance since [a href="/conversation/archive/2012/07/11/sienna-millers-daughter-is-called-marlowe-ottoline-layng-sturridge-is-this-the-m.htm">the birth of her son[/a] and doesn't she look FAB? The actress wore a chic Alessandra Rich gown with gold bangles by Foundcollected and Prada shoes. Nice to have you back, Ms Miller!
Gwyneth Paltrow
Bright orange shoes are the perfect, fun pop of colour to Gwyneth's sleek all white outfit at The Pregnancy Project Event in New York.

Minnie Driver
Minnie Driver jazzed up a little white dress with patterned wedges and a purple Prada clutch at the Veuve Clicquot Polo in LA.
Sienna Miller
And here's another! Yet again, Sienna looked like an old Hollywood movie star at the Hamptons International Film Festival wearing a classic white shirt, Sea NY tie print trousers and red ballet pumps. Bravo!

This super wore a simple but oh-so chic black tuxedo and black strappy heels to the The Pregnancy Project Event in New York.

We downed the 10 man Faction Champions (Hard mode) for the first time last night using the following raid set-up:
Resto Shamam (me)
Disc Priest
Holy Paladin
PVP Destro Specced Lock
Ele Shaman
Assassination Rogue
Unholy Dk (dps)
Fury warrior
Feral Dps
We were up against:
Resto Druid
Disc Priest
Enh Shaman
We had reached this boss encounter for the first time last week and hadn't managed to make any real progress, mainly (I believe) because we had no lock in the raid to deal with the resto druid and therefore we had tried to burn down the druid at the start (without any Mortal Strike debuff). We found we were losing people almost straight away to the rogue, especially if one of the ranged was on the rogues target also.
This week we switched a raider onto his alt lock which he respecced pvp-destro. He was able to pretty much take the resto druid out of the picture (The druid managed a measly 3k HPS and was the last kill). The fury warrior was on the priest the whole fight interrupting etc. and our boomkin was cycloning / rooting the rogue.
Our first kill was the enh shaman who we burned with heroism, the second kill was the rogue and then having removed the melee dps the fight was pretty much over. Our disc priest was spamming Mass dispel a fair amount of the time to keep HoTs off the nuke target as well as cleansing other debuffs on them and us, this seems a much more effective method than purge spam by a shaman as it cleanses the nuke target of HoTs but also dispels a myriad of other debuffs / buffs from both us and the enemy.
If you are facing a resto-druid I would strongly recommend taking a lock as it pretty much changes the fight from 10 v 6 to 9 v 5. Put a rogue or a warrior on the second healer and you are down to 8 v 4 and those odds look a whole lot better.
Any shaman you have in your raid should be dropping grounding totem every cd, as whatever it absorbs will be worth the gcd it costs and earthbind totems also help until you have cleared up the melee dps. Whilst the enemy healers are being largely neutralized a Mortal Strike debuff on the nuke target should be maintained if at all possible and if the enemy team has a shaman the totems should be stomped asap. I found it quite easy to just run round meleeing the totems as a healer as it doesnt really interfere with the decursing/cleansing that i was spending most of my time doing.
Another thing that should be made clear to the raid members is that each players priority is to stay alive, they can't expect to be healed through damage and should use any cc abilities they have to help keep themselves alive, unlike on normal mode when you see a melee dps running towards you, you can not expect a tank to taunt it away and you should either cc it, or more probably run away.

Nancy O'Dell, new celebrity co-host of Entertainment Tonight, had a dark boring man cave in the house she and her husband share, and she (or they) wanted to give it a complete overhaul.
Being in the entertainment business, the couple didn't just ring up a local home theater installer, they brought in another TV show. The DIY Network's program Hollywood Hi-Tech with Janna Robinson came on board to see what they could do to rescue the O'Dell basement from it's uninspired look to something that would make it suitable for ET (the program, not the alien).
The room started out, well, pretty decent by a lot of standards. It included a couple of reclining theater chairs a pool table and two flat-panel TVs. But the host of a program that spotlights Hollywood's elite really deserved a knock-out home theater system.
Aside from a big screen a projector, O'Dell wanted simplicity in the rooms controls. She complained that she couldn't control the lights in the room and that to change the channel on the TV she had to hit 20 buttons. "I want it to be a lot easier, yet sophisticated," she told Robinson. To help with that problem, the team installed a Crestron automation system with a wireless touchscreen and an iLux lighting system.
For the home theater, the couple went with a Runco LS-3 1080p projector matched to a 100-inch Stewart screen. Sound comes from a DTR-70.2 Integra receiver and Audes in-wall speakers.
By the way, this couple aren't exactly novices when it comes to video technology. O'Dell's husband Keith Zubchevich is a vice president at Conviva, a company that helps media brands optimize their high definition video streaming services,
