Mark A. S. McMenamin is a tenured professor of geology at Mount Holyoke College in the Department of Geology and Geography. He has made innovative contributions to the field of paleontology, particularly the Ediacaran biota.
McMenamin has articulated novel but not widely accepted solutions to challenging problems associated with study of the history of life and the history of geographic exploration.[3] His research has been criticized by some paleontologists as being narrative rather than evidence driven.
He is the author of several books, most recently The Garden of Ediacara: Discovering the Earliest Complex Life one of the only popular accounts of research on the Ediacaran biota, and Science 101: Geology. He is credited with co-naming several geological formations in Mexico, describing several new fossil genera and species, and naming the Precambrian supercontinent Rodinia. The Cambrian archeocyathid species Markocyathus clementensis was named in his honor in 1989.
Research and theories[edit]
McMenamin's work on the paleoecology of the Cambrian explosion controversially argued that the tiny planktonic trilobites belonging to the Agnostida may have had a predatory lifestyle.[4]
McMenamin's research on the Phoenician world map helped to inspire Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos's 2007 novel The Navigator, and his Garden of Ediacara theory helped to inspire Greg Bear's novel Vitals.
Origins of Complex Life[edit]
In 1995 McMenamin led a field expedition to Sonora, Mexico, that discovered fossils (585 million years old) which McMenamin argued belonged to a diverse community of early animals and Ediacaran biota.[5] The paper was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America where it was reviewed by Ediacaran expert James G. Gehling. In 2011, McMenamin reported the discovery of the oldest known adult animal fossils, Proterozoic chitons from the Clemente Formation, northwestern Sonora, Mexico.[6] This discovery has not yet been published in a scientific journal following peer review. These fossils McMenamin argued were associated with the earliest animal trace fossils, the first known arthropod tracks, and the earliest evidence in the fossil record for a predation event,.[7] The latter interpretation has not been widely accepted by other paleontologists. Further up in this same stratigraphic sequence, McMenamin also discovered and named the early shelly fossil Sinotubulites cienegensis, a fossil that allowed the first confident Proterozoic biostratigraphic correlation between Asia and the Americas.[8] In Lower Cambrian strata higher in the stratigraphic sequence, McMenamin also discovered important stem group brachiopods belonging to the genus Mickwitzia.[9] During a Mount Holyoke College field trip to Death Valley, California, McMenamin and his co-authors found evidence indicating that the Proterozoic shelly fossil Qinella survived the Proterozoic-Cambrian boundary.[10]
In an attempt to explain the unprecedented and rapid spread of vegetation over dry land surfaces during the middle Paleozoic, Mark McMenamin and Dianna L. Schulte McMenamin proposed Hypersea Theory.[11] Hypersea is a geophysiological entity consisting of eukaryotic organisms on land and their symbionts. By means of a process known as hypermarine upwelling, the expansion of Hypersea led to a dramatic increase in global species diversity and a one hundred-fold increase in global biomass.[12]
Critique of Neodarwinism[edit]
Mark McMenamin has repeatedly criticized conventional Neodarwinian theory as inadequate to the task of explaining the evolutionary process. Joining with Lynn Margulis and the Russian symbiogeneticists, McMenamin has emphasized the importance of symbiogenesis theory as one means of addressing the gap in our understanding of macroevolutionary change in conventional Neodarwinian terms.[13] In his 1998 book "The Garden of Ediacara: Discovering the First Complex Life", McMenamin argued that a Teilhardian rather than Neodarwinian approach is far better for trying to understand the evolution of the enigmatic Ediacara biota. In subsequent work, McMenamin emphasized the strength of the Teilhardian approach in comparison to alternate views [14] and has highlighted what he calls the collapse of Neodarwinian theory.[15] McMenamin argues that Neodarwinian gradualism is no mere straw man, but rather continues to influence the work of top paleontologists.[16]
Triassic Kraken[edit]
Mark McMenamin and Dianna Schulte McMenamin argued that a formation of multiple ichthyosaur fossils (belonging to the genus Shonisaurus) placed together at Berlin–Ichthyosaur State Park may represent evidence of a gigantic cephalopod or Triassic Kraken that killed the ichthyosaurs and intentionally arranged their bones in the unusual pattern seen at the site.[17][18]
Opponents have challenged the theory as too far-fetched to be credible.[19][20] PZ Myers believes that a much simpler explanation is that the rows of vertebral discs may be a result of the ichthyosaurs having fallen to one side or the other after death and rotting in that position, while Ryosuke Motani, a paleontologist at the University of California, Davis, has alternately proposed that the bones may have been moved together by ocean currents because of their circular shape.[21] McMenamin has dismissed both of these concerns as not being in accord with either the sequence of bone placement or the hydrodynamics of the site.[22] McMenamin was later quoted as saying: "When you consider that all other explanations for the Ichthyosaur death assemblage have failed, the plausibility goes up. It is currently the leading hypothesis, and none of the critics so far has proposed a fatal or even relatively significant objection." [23]
Mark and Dianna McMenamin presented new evidence favoring the existence of the hypothesized Triassic Kraken on October 31, 2013 at the Geological Society of America annual meeting in Denver, Colorado.[24] Commentator David Fastovsky, speaking to the press after the talk, attempted to critique [25] McMenamins' quantitative argument, but Fastovsky neglected to account for the fact that the vertebral array is both hydrodynamically unstable and could not have formed by passive collapse of a vertebral column because the vertebrae are out of order. McMenamin's probabilistic calculations assume currents strong enough to displace individual vertebrae, but the main argument holds even if no currents were present. Adolf Seilacher has noted that this ichthyosaur bone arrangement "has never been observed at other localities" [26]
Triassic Crustacean[edit]
A research expedition to Nevada led by McMenamin in May 2013 led to discovery of the new fossil crustacean Rosagammarus minichiellus. This research, published in the peer review scientific journal Journal of Crustacean Biology, has increased our understanding of the marine arthropods of the Triassic Luning Formation[27]
Paleo-Indian Distribution[edit]
McMenamin's research on the initial human colonization of the Americas has contributed evidence suggesting that Paleo-Indians did not rely exclusively on megafauna for subsistence.[28]
Hannibal's Route over the Alps[edit]
In a description of previously unknown Carthaginian gold coins minted by the Hanniblic army of occupation in Calabria, McMenamin proposed that the long-disputed route of Hannibal and his army over the Alps may have passed close to the Matterhorn. This route is to the north of the most commonly proposed routes, and may help to explain the astonishment expressed by the defending Italians when Hannibal's army reached the plains of Italy.[29]

Woo HOo! It's the RETURN of the FRIDAY 5:
|Sat, 08-14-2010 - 10:42am
Woo HOo!!! another player for this week's friday 5! since I did that Any Day 8 earlier in the week, seems strange to do 2 in week, but what can I say... I'm back on board finally ;-)
Loved your answers.
Insomnia stinks doesn't it. We really should have a chatroom for our board since we all seem to be up at night, too bad we're all on different time zones!
like you, I talk to my critters, too. I don't know what I'd do without my bestfriend Scoobers. I wonder what he'd say if he was able to talk back to me. Poor dog has to listen to me ramble on all day ;-)
and my DH does that anyway, regardless of what I say. The "weeds" in our yard have surpassed 7 feet, especially in the front garden that runs along the front of the house. I should upload pictures, but that would be too depressing. Our yard looks like no one lives in our house, which is why, as I've said before, that fugitive chose our yard to hide a few weeks ago, lol.
OMG, did not know you were a SYTYCD watcher this season, too. Yep, I think this was my favorite season since Benji won. OMG, so much talent. My daughters picked Lauren from the audition days. They immediately pegged her to win. I was team Alex until he was injured and then a big Kent fan but felt Lauren should win over all. And the choreographers outdid themselves this year. Amazing dances. True pieces of Art. LOVED IT! Now can't wait for GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Hey Marty,
What have your temps been like lately? We've had a record breaking hot summer, so you wouldn't like it around here either. Just so muggy and hot. I miss the blizzard. What part of Florida does your Mom live in. With those cold winters you get, seems like a trip to Florida at that time would be perfect.
And we need to have a chocolate party here. Seems like we all have something more than Parkinson's in common ;-)
I hope you've had a good break from your frazzled week and had a chance to kick back! good luck with the remaining work on that apartment.
|Sun, 08-15-2010 - 4:55pm
Kent and Lauren really were amazing athletes (yes, I said ATHLETES, not just dancers. They are proof Dance is a sport).... but I think Kent was still Kent doing Broadway or Kent doing Hip hop or Kent doing Contemporary, while you'd forget it was Lauren and she'd totally become the routine, the part, the character. Such a good season!
and what did you think of that 9 year old tap dancer. WOW.
|Sun, 08-15-2010 - 9:29pm
Lauren Sue
We got a huge break from the heat last evening when a cool front came through and the temps dropped

"Something In The Air" Is Available On ITunes And As Part Of The 25th Anniversary Release Of The "A Very Special Christmas(R)" Album Also Available On ITunes. (Photo: Business Wire)
There's something special in the air this holiday season thanks to Coca-Cola and three emerging music artists tapped to produce the brand's 2012 holiday anthem.
"Something in the Air" is available on iTunes and as part of the 25th Anniversary release of the "A Very Special Christmas(R)" album also available on iTunes. (Photo: Business Wire)
Produced by Rock Mafia and written and performed by Music Dealers' artist Grayson Sanders, the song features Atlantic recording artist Lauriana Mae and Mulinjer LLC's singer-songwriter Jono.
The eclectic trio brings varying musical backgrounds and life experiences to the song, which celebrates the magic of the season. Mae's soulful jazz and R&B influences blend with contemporary pop on the track to produce a truly unique sound. The song caps off a whirlwind year for Jono that saw him go from working two jobs to recording the Coca-Cola holiday anthem and his own solo EP.
"The story behind the song is reminiscent of a personal memory I had of bringing a group of friends that had moved all across the country, together again for the holidays," said Grayson Sanders. "It's a cultural theme that is relevant to anyone during this special time of the year."Coca-Cola has a long-standing tradition of creating memorable holiday music. On the heels of "Shake up Christmas" featured in the 2010 and 2011 holiday campaigns, "Something in the Air" is the latest track to feature the brand's musical signature – the famous 5-note melody. Available now on iTunes , "Something in the Air" is the cornerstone of this year's Coca-Cola holiday campaign. With campaign elements launching in nearly 100 countries worldwide, the song will serve as the soundtrack to the 2012 Coca-Cola holiday TV ad airing in various countries around the world beginning this month. The campaign expands upon the traditional meaning of togetherness at the holidays to demonstrate that when people come together collectively during the holidays, it makes for a happier world where magical things can happen. As part of its holiday efforts, Coca-Cola is enabling consumers in various countries to personalize "Something in the Air." Through an online application, consumers can download the song and make it their own by adding their own voice. They can even customize an album cover with pictures from their Facebook profile and share it with family and friends.

My blog topic is "power in relationships" - a topic I chose because I come across stories every day ----- I just had to write about this one. A young woman came into my office this past week- she is a student at an Ivy League university - let's call her Lia. Lia has an abiding love of learning, a terrific work ethic and the grades to show for it. She is accustomed to getting great feedback from professors, and, is often singled out for her achievements in class.
Why am I about to tell her story? Lia is now seeking treatment because she no longer feels sure of her intelligence...or herself.
She told me that she thought she knew she was smart --- her hard work and the resulting GPA was something she took great pride in, and, in fact, took for granted. But - after receiving a failing grade on her global history midterm, she no longer thinks so.
Before the exam LIa completed all required homework assignments flawlessly and was a leader in class discussion sections. But, for some reason, she received an F on the test. Needless to say, given her academic background, she was devastated to even SEE such a grade on her paper - but, more to the point here, she began to second-guess her intelligence, her study habits, and her ability to negotiate her education. Overnight, Lia's global history professor seemingly had the power to cause her to questi

Does anyone else miss Google Reader? I was so sad when they shuttered the service, I miss it terribly. I've searched high and low for a replacement, but been mostly disappointed with the alternatives.
When they first announced it would be discontinued, I was hopeful about a site I discovered called The Old Reader and I immediately signed up and started playing with it.
Well, honestly…it WAS a decent replacement for Google Reader. The only problem that soon became apparent was that the couple of incredibly ambitious developers who set out to make a viable service were not quite prepared to handle an influx of new users and data migration from Google's service over to their own.
They allowed you to import your subscriptions from Google Reader and it didn't take long before they were swamped, I'm sure. I wish Google wouldn't cancel their popular services that so many people have come to rely on, it's not the right way to go about things.
As someone else suggested in the Google Product Forums, they could have simply released it as open source and kept everyone happy. But of course not!
At any rate, the developers over at The Old Reader eventually made an announcement in which they admitted that they just didn't have the resources to handle such a huge volume of new users and they were having trouble with their servers and that sort of thing.
I think they were bought by a larger company shortly thereafter, or at least that's what I recall reading. In the greater scheme of things, this is probably good because they were not going to be able to continue supporting it otherwise if I remember right.
I haven't really spent much time there since then, I just hate having to remember to actively navigate to a site I'm not used to going to in order to get my RSS feed updates. It's a serious pain and I eventually just stopped using it altogether.
Some time ago, I had discovered these free generators (some are gone now though) that were advertised as RSS to PDF tools. They would take an RSS feed URL and spit out a PDF of the newest items from that feed for you to read in the future.
I thought this was a pretty cool concept and still do. The reason I'm blogging about this today is that I now have such a tool available for my readers for free, which you are all welcome to use.
While it doesn't have a download button for the PDF it generates, if you're using Chrome then you should see an option to save it by clicking on the button at the bottom of the screen when you are viewing the PDF in the browser when it returns the results.
Generate your own PDF Newspaper here.
So what do you guys think of RSS? Do you miss Google Reader? It seems to me that RSS is one of those very strange and uncommon types of technologies that never really took on beyond a group of semi-savvy web enthusiasts. What's your take on it?

(Adds prior media reports on timing in third paragraph.)
Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- China Telecom Corp., the nation's third-largest mobile-phone company, may see its introduction of Apple Inc.'s iPhone delayed until as late as mid-2012, according to UBS AG.
The earliest the carrier would offer the iPhone would be in February or March, Wang Jinjin, a UBS analyst in Hong Kong, wrote in a report today. Wang cited "checks with value chain suppliers." China Telecom can't comment on talks with Apple because of a non-disclosure agreement, said Jacky Yung, a Hong Kong-based spokesman at the phone operator.
While China Telecom has never officially said it would offer the iPhone, local media reports have suggested it could happen within three months. That would make the Beijing-based operator the second in the nation to offer the iPhone with a service contract, after China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.
China Telecom may introduce the iPhone as early as the end of October, the nation's official Xinhua news agency said Sept. 22, citing an unidentified employee at the company. The carrier is preparing service bundles and back-office systems for the iPhone in anticipation of sales in January, the Global Times newspaper, owned by the state-controlled People's Daily, reported Sept. 19.
IPhones are also sold without service contracts at authorized retailers in China.

The police situation comes the same day the community said goodbye to Wayne-Westland firefighter Brian Woehlke.
The 29-year-old was killed last week battling a fire at a strip mall on Wayne Road.
He had only been with the department for 10 months -- and was the department's first casualty in the line of duty.
His funeral was held in Dearborn.

"Good comfort food. I also used some red pepper to spice it up a little, 2 cans of broccoli cheese soup with 1 can of chicken soup, and threw in some steamed broccoli. It tastes like a combination of chicken and macaroni and cheese, and broccoli cheese soup. This is awesome on a snowy day!"
"I didn't have time to marinate the chicken for an hour so I dipped it in the sour cream and laid it in the bowl with the broken crackers & butter on top. Came out delicious!"
"Found my new replacement for Shake n' Bake!"
"So many things you can do with this! Individual pizzas, use for dips, a plate in itself if you're camping, etc. I used Longboard (it's a light lager). Soooo good!"
"This was good but a bit too spicy for me. I didn't know that Old Bay Seasoning already had red pepper in it or I wouldn't have added more. To kick it down a notch I had to add a bunch of parmesan which masked the flavors of everything else. I'm giving it 4 stars cause I think it could be delicious just without the extra red pepper."
"Per other reviewers I also used my favorite salsa on this instead of tomatoes and onions on top (it added a little more kick) and doubled the sauce. I don't know how it could have done without!"

Flash Professional CS5 will allow developers to build applications for Apple's iPhone. The forthcoming release of Adobe's multimedia authoring tool was unveiled Monday at the Adobe MAX 2009 conference, underway in Los Angeles this week.
With Flash Professional CS5, Flash developers will be able to build new applications for the iPhone or repurpose applications that had previously been built for the Web using ActionScript 3. The process simply involves exporting the project from Flash Pro to a native iPhone format (.ipa). There is no JIT or runtime interpretation for the finished application.
Applications developed within Flash CS5 will also be able to take advantage of the iPhone's accelerometer and multi-touch capabilities. Some examples of applications built for the iPhone using a pre-release version of Flash Pro CS5 are currently available through the App Store for download. (Further information about these can be found here.)
Support for iPhone app authoring isn't the only new feature coming to Flash CS5. Some others will include:
A preview version of Flash CS5 is expected to be available later this year. As of this writing, the final ship date and final pricing have not been announced.
Further information about Flash CS5 and its iPhone authoring capabilities, including a video demonstration, can be found on at the Adobe Labs site here.

Tofacitinib citrate (CP-690,550-10) is currently being evaluated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and other diseases. An NDA has recently been submitted to the FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The Pfizer Tofacitinib API Team has worked to improve the efficiency of the process and ensure that the quality of the drug substance will meet the standards of the regulatory agencies. Quality by Design is important not only from a regulatory perspective, but also from a process development perspective since it enforces a much more thorough degree of process understanding. DOE is often the focus of QbD but there are often other techniques (experimental and modeling) that can be used in the development of a process. This talk will provide examples of how we use these various techniques to ensure we have a robust process that can be run at a wide range of scales and consistently meet our quality standards.

Not designed for outdoor use
November 17, 2014
Reviewer: Glenn Herpich from Wichita, KS United States
I purchased this antenna about six months ago and tried it indoors. It received six channels where I could barely get one with rabbit ears. I wanted to try it on the roof so I bought the antenna J-Pole mount. It worked great receiving 14 channels. But over the months it started loosing channels until it would receive no channels. Took the antenna down and found that it had filled with two cups of rain water and submerged the amplifier board and componets had started to corrode off. The two halves of the antenna are not sealed and the lower half is like a bowl so any water that gets in doesn't get out. If mounting the antenna on the roof suggest at least sealing around the two halves of the antenna. The circuit board should have a water proof coating on it and a drain hole should be drilled at the bottom of the bowl.
I replaced the defective componets L12 and C32 for about $1.50. The antenna is receiving 39 channels while laying on my work bench in Wichita. Need remote location test.

HD-8000 antenna
October 27, 2014
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Spencer, MA United States
Works great. In my case I did not have a clear line with all but a few transmitters. I moved it to a location 30 miles to a trailer park. Received about 15 stations clear as a bell. 30 miles to the east at my home however we could not pull in more than 3 stations.

Conformal Symmetry and Cosmological Entropy Production

Abstract: Introducing an effective refraction index of an isotropic cosmic medium, we investigate the cosmological fluid dynamics which is consistent with a conformal, timelike symmetry of a corresponding "optical" metric. We demonstrate that this kind of symmetry is compatible with the existence of a negative viscous pressure and, consequently, with cosmological entropy production. We establish an exactly solvable model according to which the viscous pressure is a consequence of a self-interacting one-particle force which is self-consistently exerted on the microscopic particles of a relativistic gas. Furthermore, we show that a suficiently high decay rate of the refraction index of an ultrarelativistic cosmic medium results in an in ationary expansion of the universe.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Albers threw a two-hitter in his second career start and the Minnesota Twins backed him with a pair of home runs to beat the Cleveland Indians 3-0 Monday night.
Albers (2-0) allowed just two singles, walked none and struck out two.
Brian Dozier and Trevor Plouffe homered to help the Twins win for the eighth time in 11 games.
Prized prospect Danny Salazar (1-1) gave up three runs on three hits with three walks and five strikeouts in four innings. The slumping Indians have lost seven of their last eight and are in danger of sliding out of the playoff chase.
Jason Kipnis and Yan Gomes had the only hits for Cleveland.
Albers, a soft-tossing lefty from Canada, had Tommy John surgery in 2009 and made his big league debut at 27 years old in his last start. He threw 8 1-3 scoreless innings at Kansas City and now has ripped off 17 1-3 straight scoreless to start his career.
He kept the Indians off-balance with an assortment of breaking pitches all night, outshining the overpowering Salazar in the process.
The 23-year-old Salazar blazed through Cleveland's minor league system, striking out 129 in 21 outings. That didn't stop when he got called up. A fastball in the high 90s, a superb changeup and the benefit of facing hitters who have never seen him before helping him rack up 17 strikeouts and walk only two in his first two starts.
The velocity was there in start No. 3, but the command wasn't. Dozier hit Salazar's second pitch of the game out of the park and Plouffe hit a 96-mph fastball out for a two-run homer in the second.
Just when Salazar appeared to be settling in, he walked the bases loaded with one out in the fourth. He was able to wiggle out of the jam without allowing any runs, but with so much on the line for the Indians as September approaches, manager Terry Francona didn't leave him out there.
Albers was ahead 0-2 on 10 of the first 20 batters he faced, never hitting higher than 88 mph on the Target Field radar gun. He had a perfect game going until Kipnis blooped a soft single to center field with two outs in the fourth and got some help from some spectacular defense along the way.
Ron Gardenhire Talks About The Win
Drew Albers Talks About His Big Night
Dozier ran about 30 yards, laid out and hauled in a pop fly over his shoulder to get Carlos Santana in the fifth and shortstop Pedro Florimon made a brilliant sliding stop of a grounder up the middle in the seventh, then threw out Nick Swisher from his knees.
Brian Dozier Talks About The Win
NOTES: The Twins have scored their last 22 runs off home runs. … The Indians placed INF Mark Reynolds on release waivers on Monday. … Francona said LHP Scott Kazmir "is doing really well" after saying he had a "dead arm" in his previous start. The plan is for him to get an extra three days' rest and start on Aug. 18 at Oakland. … Twins press box attendant Peg Imhoff celebrated her 75th birthday on Monday night. Imhoff has worked for the Twins for 38 seasons. … Twins RHP Zach McAllister (4-7, 4.01) is scheduled to pitch for the Indians on Tuesday night against RHP Samuel Deduno (7-5, 3.38) for the Twins.

Explaining 'The Walking Dead' to a Zombie: Season 5 Premiere
Scene: My living room, Sunday night. I've just got a huge new TV and want to show it off to my friends, so I invite them all to come over and watch the season premiere of The Walking Dead. But only Ed shows up. Which blows, because Ed never really pays attention, so I have to spend the whole time explaining shit to him. Also, he's a zombie.

By Matthew Broersma

Researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) have demonstrated a technique that could make quantum
cryptography significantly cheaper to implement, moving it nearer to
possible commercial acceptance.
The technique, outlined in a paper to be published this month in the
journal IEEE Communications Letters, is aimed at cutting the cost of
equipment needed for quantum key distribution (QKD), designed to
distribute cryptographic keys using a secure system based on the
principles of quantum mechanics.
Such systems are typically based on the distribution of photons through
a fibre-optic network, with information encoded in the polarisation of
the photons.
They are designed to allow an absolute level of security, wth any
attempt to monitor the system by a third party, for instance,
necessarily disrupting the system.
However, such systems are expensive to implement, with the most common
polarisation-based protocol, known as BB84, requiring four single-photon
detectors, costing $5,000 (2,500) to $20,000 (10,000) each, the NIST
The new method, called detector-time-bin-shift (DTBS), shifts photons
into two distinct "time bins".
This means a set of two detectors can be used to sequentially record the
two sets of photons, rather than requiring four detectors to
simultaneously record all the photons, the NIST said.
In their work on a protocol called B92, the researchers reduced the
required number of detectors from two to one, the NIST said.
Further work carried out since the completion of this month's paper
further reduced the number of photon detectors needed for the BB84
protocol from four to one, the NIST said.
The arrangement detailed in the paper cuts transmission rates by half,
but the NIST system still works at broadband speeds, it said. The
organisation said its experimental network can encrypt and decrypt
webcam-quality video streams in real time using DTBS.
In 2006 the NIST managed to shift quantum-encrypted information at a
"raw" throughput of 4 million bits per second across a 1 km-long fiber
This was at least twice NIST's previous record, which has been rising
since the agency announced it had broken the 1 million bits per second
barrier in May 2004. At such transfer rates, it becomes practical to use
QKD cryptography to secure a video stream.
In 2005 Toshiba Europe reached the demonstration phase of what it
claimed was the first system to use quantum cryptography to secure a
real-time video and voice data stream, developed by a 30-person team of
scientists working at the company's Cambridge Research Laboratory.

So in the past few months, I have managed to lose and maintain 10 pounds. This is mostly from eating better, little snacking, and walking a lot. Well, the past two weeks have been extremely lazy for me. I have been so busy that I have been eating on the go, snacking, and barely walking. While I have maintained the weight within a pound or two, this is very upsetting. Tomorrow is my birthday and I ahve plans for the entire weekend. As soon as this weekend is over, I AM GETTING BACK ON TRACK!
So i was just sitting at my desk thinking about how good I feel. I have lost eight pounds in the past month. People are commenting that they can see a difference. My pants fit a little looser. I stopped biting my nails. I am ready for this summer and to keep losing this weight! Just thought I would share! :)
I know I have said this many times, but Im back at it. I found out last week that I lost my sumemr luifeguarding job. As the day progressed, I became aware of another job that may be open that is even better. This job will allow me to be outdoors all day long, where before i was lifeguarding at an indoor pool. I will also be doing a ton of walking! This has given me the motivation I needed. I want to be in shape before the sumemr starts so that I am comfortable wearing shorts and tanks in front of everyone. Also, The ex is out of my life. There has been drama for months, and I am moving on! To do that, my friend and I started walking her dogs a couple times a week. I feel so refreshed already. Wish me luck!
So the past couple months have been pretty insane. I try to keep up with this page, but I haven't had much time. Either way, I have changed my life in the past couple weeks. I have been making much healthier choices about my food. I have decided to make myself feel healthier so that there is less stress over everything else in my life. And it is working so far! I lost almost five pounds last week just by packing a healthier lunch. I even had my binge days and went out this weekend, but it seems to be working. I am so excited and determined!
So the boyfriend and I are back together. He was in the hospital last weeka nd did some setrious think9ing while he was there. The two of us talked and agreed to work things out. I am not going back to eating the way we did tho! He wants to eat betetr and has agreed to go to the gym with me. Hopefully all works out!

Cars of course are the quickest way to get from A-to-B, but sometimes cities are best experienced from the seat of a bike. And not just any bike. One that's stylish as hell with the least amount of gears, levers and other things you don't need when you're cruising on concrete. That's what we love about Tribeca boutique Adeline Adeline. They've got a number of minimalist, sharp-looking rides—including a few with sealed crankshafts so you don't get your chains in a twist. The store is especially good for out-of-the-box shopping for her, though. "These gifts aren't abstractions like jewelry," explains owner Julie Hirschfeld. "You can wrap your head around them." Consider bikes like the Poppy, shown above. She'll dig the well-crafted details like the pastel blue frame, the honey leather saddle and the handlebar, tipped with cork grips and garnished with a bell on top. Once she's wrapped up her first mid-summer stroll, trust us: She'll thank you.

We've all experienced sticker shock while perusing the world's most expensive watches. There are even a few brands for which six-figure price tags are the norm — "expensive watches" by almost anyone's definition. But a handful of luxury watches go well beyond "pricey" and into the rarefied "million dollar watch" category, i.e., costing more than $1 million. We've compiled eight of the world's most expensive watches, all breaking the $1 million ceiling, in which the only things grander than the … [Read more...]
Richard Mille
Richard Mille was founded in 1999 by the French executive Richard Mille. Initially Richard Mille was started in a collaborative effort with Audemars Piguet. Richard Mille watches are known for their high prices and for the celebrities who endorse them. Among the notable watches are the Richard Mille RM001, Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 008, Richard Mille, RM 056, Richard Mille RM 056 split seconds, Richard Mille RM 056 Felipe Massa Sapphire, Richard Mille RM 006, Richard Mille RM 009. The RM 008 features a tourbillon caliber with chronograph split seconds, torque indicator, power reserve indicator and manual winding mechanism. Its price starts at $700,000. The RM 056 Felipe Massa Sapphire is priced at $1,700,000. Celebrities with Richard Mille watches are, for example, Bubba Watson, Felipe Massa, Rafael Nadal, Yohan Blake, Michelle Yeoh, Natalie Portman, Sebastian Loeb, Tom Perkins. Because of the high Richard Mille watch prices, many collectors search for Richard Mille watches for sale or Richard Mille replica (Richard Mille watches replica). But they are never successful because the Richard Mille watches prices are defined by the Richard Mille price list - only certified dealers and the brand itself will sell original Richard Mille watches under these terms. Therefore, the question why Richard Mille watches are so expensive is answered by the fact that Richard Mille prices simply are set by the brand. Some collectors favor Richard Mille skull watches over Richard Mille RM005 or other non-skull models. WatchTime's posts Richard Mille watch review stories that you should read before looking for a Richard Mille watch for sale. Do not buy a Richard Mille watch replice, only look for original certified watches. WatchTime has Richard Mille watch news and details on Richard Mille watches with many reviews of Richard Mille watch models from the current and recent years. Including the following popular Richard Mille watches: Richard Mille RM027 tourbillon watch, Richard Mille skull watch, Richard Mille RM 052. With Richard Mille watch price information and in-depth brand information. Head to our watch database to find dozens for Richard Mille watches with prices and tech specs.
