An electromagnetic "black hole " that sucks in surrounding light has been built for the first time.
The device, which works at microwave frequencies, may soon be extended to trap visible light, leading to an entirely new way of harvesting solar energy to generate electricity.
A theoretical design for a table-top black hole to trap light was proposed in a paper published earlier this year by Evgenii Narimanov and Alexander Kildishev of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Their idea was to mimic the properties of a cosmological black hole, whose intense gravity bends the surrounding space-time, causing any nearby matter or radiation to follow the warped space-time and spiral inwards.
Narimanov and Kildishev reasoned that it should be possible to build a device that makes light curve inwards towards its centre in a similar way. They calculated that this could be done by a cylindrical structure consisting of a central core surrounded by a shell of concentric rings.
There's no escape
The key to making light curve inwards is to make the shell's permittivity which affects the electric component of an electromagnetic wave increase smoothly from the outer to the inner surface. This is analogous to the curvature of space-time near a black hole. At the point where the shell meets the core, the permittivity of the ring must match that of the core, so that light is absorbed rather than reflected.
Now Tie Jun Cui and Qiang Cheng at the Southeast University in Nanjing, China, have turned Narimanov and Kildishev's theory into practice, and built a "black hole" for microwave frequencies. It is made of 60 annular strips of so-called "meta-materials", which have previously been used to make invisibility cloaks.
Each strip takes the form of a circuit board etched with intricate structures whose characteristics change progressively from one strip to the next, so that the permittivity varies smoothly. The outer 40 strips make up the shell and the inner 20 strips make up the absorber.
"When the incident electromagnetic wave hits the device, the wave will be trapped and guided in the shell region towards the core of the black hole, and will then be absorbed by the core," says Cui. "The wave will not come out from the black hole." In their device, the core converts the absorbed light into heat.
Quick work
Narimanov is impressed by Cui and Cheng's implementation of his design. "I am surprised that they have done it so quickly," he says.
Fabricating a device that captures optical wavelengths in the same way will not be easy, as visible light has a wavelength orders of magnitude smaller than that of microwave radiation. This will require the etched structures to be correspondingly smaller.
Cui is confident that they can do it. "I expect that our demonstration of the optical black hole will be available by the end of 2009," he says.
Such a device could be used to harvest solar energy in places where the light is too diffuse for mirrors to concentrate it onto a solar cell. An optical black hole would suck it all in and direct it at a solar cell sitting at the core. "If that works, you will no longer require these huge parabolic mirrors to collect light," says Narimanov.

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you.
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.
I am the resurrection and I am the light.
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like.

would never happen, remember we are living in a life where the greedy are greedy. We would pay for free energy because the greedy swine running everything, they need to pay off there $1,000 weekly haircuts, $1,000,000 cars, $50,000,000 houses, etc etc. We would definitely be paying a lot because it's free energy that wouldn't run out.

Science is awesome!!!!!!!!!
10-19-2009 #10
I fail to understand how a black hole can create light, when:
- It absorbs light
-Whatever goes in, never goes out.
Anyone willing to give me a science lesson?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Platinum/100%: -Fallout 3- -Call of Duty: World at War- -Bioshock- -Modern Warfare 2- -Bioshock 2-
10-20-2009 #11
I'll try my best (btw I'm an Aerospace Engineer but this black hole stuff is hard for me to get my head around). Here's what I know: first of all a black hole is not really a hole in space. Many people get the wrong impression here because of their name - but despite what everyone thinks a black hole is actually a body in space (just like a planet but much smaller). They just happen to be so dense that their gravitational field is strong enough to attract light and therefore the surface of them appears black. So basically what happens, because the gravity is so strong they absorb everything including matter and energy of all kinds and it just goes towards making the black hole even bigger/more dense. Black holes themselves don't create light but all the matter swirling around them at millions of miles an hour heats up to HUGE temperatures and gives off light and x-rays. In some cases there is so much matter orbiting a black hole that some of it is blasted away from the surface along the polar magnetic field lines.
10-20-2009 #12
Well, I believe that a black hole does have energy in it. I mean, what else acts like a vacuum but doesn't have energy? Every single action in this world and universe has a reaction, be it negative or positive. A black hole that has energy is actually believable. However, the problem is, is how do you extract that energy for it to be useful. That right there is where the challenge is going to be.

Maria du Toit and Cape Philharmonic OrchestraAndra le Roux-Kemp08/14/2012 13:46:01 Andra le Roux-Kemp: While snow covered most of South Africa's nine provinces, Capetonians were getting ready for spring. The first concert of the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra's spring season was creating a buzz of excitement. What better way is there to shake free from the shackles of winter than with some French flair? The Cape Philharmonic Orchestra set the mood for the evening with Maurice Ravel's La Valse – A Choreographic Poem for Orchestra. This work must be the most disturbing wannabe Viennese waltz in the history of classical music! Just as a Strauss-like waltz melody sweeps the imagination into the swirl and twirl of a shimmering ballroom in Vienna, the harsh realities of the present screech in to shatter the illusion. 'An apotheosis of the Viennese waltz mingled with the fantastic whirl of destiny' as Ravel himself described it. The Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of an energetic Arjan Tien, took us all on a bewildering journey to Vienna and back, completely mesmerising the audience with this wondrous work. As the music grew in intensity to an even zanier climax, so the tension in City Hall also escalated, erupting at last in an elated applause. An applause that continued with even greater fervour as Maria du Toit appeared on stage. Du Toit is a South African-born clarinettist with a French surname who has been hailed as sensational, exemplary and impressive by critics across the globe. With no less than 14 concerto performances for 2012 thus far, this young instrumentalist is certainly at the height of her career. Currently the principal clarinettist for the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, Du Toit recently made headlines with the launch of Luminous Shade, her album with pianist Nina Schumann under the TwoPianists Records label. The CD is a must for clarinet enthusiasts and those who enjoy chamber music in general, as it includes a number of exciting and lesser known works like Rheinberger's Sonata and Benjamin's Le Tombeau de Ravel. Du Toit's interpretation of Debussy's Rhapsody for Clarinet and Orchestra was just as electrifying as the Ravel piece. Continuing with the French theme of the evening, dreamy impressionist sounds filled the concert hall only to be interrupted by unexpected playful runs that are so typical of Debussy's music. A master of her instrument, Du Toit kept the audience spellbound with her exacting use of a range of tone colours and dynamics. In Andre Messager's Concert Solo for Clarinet she showcased her technical ability and exceptional sound quality. Although this work is only about 5 minutes in duration, it is a strenuous workout for any clarinettist. Lyrical and sweet melodic sections alternate with quick runs covering the full range of the instrument, culminating in a lively finale. And just in case the audience had any doubts about the extraordinary abilities of this young clarinettist, she concluded her performance with an awe-inspiring encore. What a star and what an exciting start to the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra's spring season! The evening concluded with Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique Op. 14, a work as mind-blowing as Ravel's La Valse. The five movement symphony is based on a detailed programme that Berlioz wrote himself. It tells the tale of an artist, desperate with love, who attempts suicide by taking a dose of opium. Not strong enough to kill him, the opium plunges the artist into a series of delirious dreams about his beloved. The extended orchestra - which included a funeral bell, two ophicleides, two harps, a battery of percussion and a heavily augmented string and woodwind section – gave an excellent performance of this feverish composition. The award-winning Dutch conductor, Arjan Tien, demanded a spirited and emotion-filled performance, leaving no hallucinatory dream unexplored. (Curiously, the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra concluded their 2012 first season with this same enigmatic work.) The spring season of the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra is certainly off to a stellar start and Capetonians can look forward to three more exciting events leading us into the month of September. Conductor Arjen Tien will take centre stage again on Thursday, 16 August with soloist Antonio Pompa-Baldi for, inter alia, the monumental Rachmaninoff third piano concerto. Clarinettist Maria du Toit performed with the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra at City Hall, Cape Town on 9 August 2012.

No More Idols is a whirlwind of an album, one that smashes together a hundred genres, from trance to grime, hip hop to indie rock, always keeping the listener on their toes. Songs shift between moods in a heartbeat, pulling the carpet out from under you. And the list of collaborations is both smart and prescient: they've teamed up with old pal Plan B, Tinie Tempah, Dizzee Rascal, White Lies, Clare Maguire and Cee-Lo Green – artists that can pull in a vast audience in their own right.
But the real key to No More Idols is its sustained quality. The production, as you would expect, is massive, and the album is packed with memorable melodies, beats and raps. Even the big radio hits (Let You Go, Blind Faith, Hypest Hype, End Credits) don't stand out, because for each of them there's a new track waiting to spring its trap. Opener No Problem combines African tribal rhythms with rampant trance beats, and gets the blood pumping straight away; Hitz has a brooding atmosphere that recalls DJ Shadow, and Tinie Tempah's cocky rap ("I'm the definition of definitive and catchy") complements it perfectly; rising star Maguire's gothic vocal on Midnight Caller turns it into an epic power ballad.
This is an album infused with the spirit of 1990s raves – see the video of Blind Faith for more the proof – but updated for a modern audience, tracing a line through all the dance music since and picking up tidbits. It emerges in the here and now triumphant and relevant, and it may usher in a new era of dance domination as the cycle spins once again. At 15 tracks, No More Idols does feel a touch bloated: the White Lies collaboration, Embrace, drones on too long and should probably have been left on the cutting room floor, along with Hocus Pocus. But overall this is an impressive album that could prove a game-changer.

White House to Welcome Kate Mitchell, Other Vcs to JOBS Act Signing Ceremony
Venture capitalist Kate Mitchell was supposed to speak at Thomson Reuters' PartnerConnect conference this Thursday, but something suddenly put a wrinkle in her plans. The White House contacted her to see if she could attend a JOBS Act signing ceremony tentatively scheduled for this Thursday.
Mitchell, co-founder and managing director of Scale Venture Partners, was chairman of the 17-member IPO Task Force that drafted the recommendations that went into the JOBS Act. The bill passed the House and Senate with strong support from both sides of the aisle and now awaits President Obama's signature.
"The President wanted a tone of bipartisanship and this [JOBS Act] is an example of that working," Mitchell says.
Besides Mitchell, others said to have been invited to attend the signing ceremony include Mark Gorenberg, managing director at Hummer Winblad Venture Partners; Dixon Doll, co-founder and GP of DCM; John Doerr, general partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers; Paul Maeder, chairman of the National Venture Capital Association and co-founder and GP of Highland Capital Partners; Ray Rothrock, a partner at Venrock; Barry Silbert, founder and CEO of SecondMarket; Scott Dorsey, CEO and co-founder of newly public ExactTarget; Josh James, co-founder of Omniture and now founder of VC-backed startup Domo; and Scott Cutler, EVP and co-head of of U.S. Listings and Cash Execution at NYSE Euronext.
Some aspects of the JOBS Act will be felt as soon as it is signed into law. For example, companies with less than five years old or with less than $1 billion in annual revenue won't have to do as much paperwork for Sarbanes-Oxley. "It will reduce expenditures related to regulations and allow companies to put that money into engineering and sales," Mitchell says.
The impact on the IPO market is expected to be gradual. "We don't expect a sea change, but we do expect a gradual increase [in the number of IPOs]," she says.
She notes that she has already heard encouraging words from CEOs of some of Scale's portfolio companies. "In talking to individual CEOs, there is a huge amount of 'aha,'" she says. Heads of companies in with $25 million to $50 million in revenue "are suddenly saying, 'It's possible for me to go public [at $100 million in revenue]. I'm not just an acquisition candidate."

Dunno if anyone else has had a similar problem, I can only run winhiip version 1.6.3 if I try any of the newer versions (up to 1.6.6) I get a "winhiip has caused an error and needs to close now".
I am able to load my backups via my pc to ps2 hd with version 1.6.3 without error but the games will not boot up on the ps2.
I have looked all over for info but have come up empty, so any help would be great.

Summer is finally in full swing around here, and I have a box full of fresh, leafy greens to prove it. Eating seasonally is something I never used to think about (in fact, I was absolutely horrible with even knowing what grew when, because it seems like grocery stores around here always seem to have the "normal" produce year-round). Now that we make an effort to eat local and fresh produce as the bulk of our food, though, I could never go back to our old habits. I thought I'd center this post on things that I've learned since focusing more on locally grown produce.
Eating seasonally really keeps us creative in the kitchen, and it means we never get bored from eating the same thing over and over again. I also think there's something to be said for looking forward to something all year. You can buy strawberries year round, but nothing is as wonderful as the first really good batches from the farm.
It also means that we eat more simply. By selecting what's freshest at the farmer's market that day, or opening the CSA box to see what we've gotten that week, we've started eating less complicated recipes. The food has so much more flavor that it doesn't need to be weighed down with other flavors, so it's more enjoyable to eat a simple, fresh meal as well.
One of my favorite things about our CSA is the herbs that they include in our boxes. We still have a rack of dried herbs and spices for in a pinch, but they really don't compare to their fresh counterparts. With the cost of fresh herbs at the grocery store (and the rate with which they spoil) we had been using the pre-packaged shakers for years. Now we have a little window sill garden of them (we need to re-pot these soon!) so that they're always fresh and they'll last for a long time.
You can't see it in that photo, but we have lavender, thyme, rosemary, and oregano as well. And we paid $500 for once-a-week boxes from now until mid October. This week the box was full of fresh kale, asparagus, swiss chard, lettuce, and garlic scapes. Next week there will be more fruit – including strawberries and rhubarb, yum! – and in the past we've gotten huge bags of black beans, heirloom tomatoes, and lots of other delicious fruits and veggies.
Of course, not everyone is happy about our new way of eating. Someone's a little bitter that her window sill was taken.

Good delivery mashallah, very well rehearsed for sure…but is he an aalim?
I don't think it is appropriate for a person, unless suitably qualified, to give lectures. Remember, the minbar is the minbar of the Prophet SAW. -
AlBaraa Says: 16.06.10 at 1:58 pm
As far as I know, this wasn't rehearsed. He came directly from the masjid where he was teaching to give this speech.
He's done a cover to cover journey through the meaning of the Quran several times over the past few years and he studied the Quran in Egypt.
Aalim or not I believe it's suitable for anyone with meaningful advice to give in through all forms of communication. Whether its the minbar, youtube or on stage.
Faisal Says: 18.06.10 at 10:38 pm
Seeker of Ulema: did the Prophet (saw) not instruct us to pass on what we learn, even if its just one verse? Are there some requirements that Allah or His messenger (saw) have set before one can give advice or teach what they have learned?

rhythm games. It's also great to just have a rhythm game I can play on
the go, with a pretty good track selection too. :)

I currently use mint.com to keep track of my personal finances and I love it! Is there an equivalent product in regards to quality/execution for small businesses/startups? What does everyone here use in order to keep track of their business finances? So far I just use a plain excel worksheet (not much money coming in and out at the moment).
From doing some limited research I found the following...
Indinero: https://indinero.com/

Has anyone used this? What has your experience been?

Being able to aim that strobe exactly where you want it to illuminate your subject takes the use of a strobe arm. Intova's Stay Slim Extra Arm allows you to use an additional external strobe to increase the intensity of flash only a dual strobe will give for desired lighting.

there, i said it. my dad is a douchebag. he puts people down with no reason and is the single greatest recurring image in my nightmares, even into my adult life. when i was younger, my greatest motivation to succeed was so that i could leave the family. it instilled with me a sense of fierce independence but simultaneously, it created a need to be validated and loved while at the same time an armor defense to never let anyone affect me that much. i always thought that leaving my childhood home would make the problem better, but over the years it has only been illuminated. like a slow-cooking casserole, it is always on the back-burner, especially as my brother still lives in the same house under unreasonably stringent conditions. a. is right -- you can reason with a reasonable person or a person who accepts logic; but our dad is the opposite - he is unreasonable and for someone who is so set on the scientific process, lacks all logic and reason when it comes to personal relationships. i have googled emotional abuse far more often than i'd like in an ever-diminishing hope of finding some way to break through; but you can only help those who want to be helped. to him, he feels like he is fulfilling the "greater good" -- and perhaps that is where his own resilience comes from. he is a micro-manager no matter where he goes but the only place it can manifest is within his own family. what scares me the most is that i see traces of him within me. the impatience, the hyde/jekyll effect, the incapacity to adequately communicate, and the streak of irrationality. perhaps what saves me is a recognition of that, and the want to change it. parents - no matter how strong-willed you think your children may be, you have an impact far beyond any you can imagine.

Cooler Master introduced its latest case in the high-airflow (HAF) series, the value-segment HAF-912. This case lives up to its series name of being extremely airy, with a completely perforated front, a large fan on the top, apart from fans-slots on the side and rear, apart from a number of builder-friendly features. This ATX mid-tower 230 x 480 x 496 mm, weighs 8 kg, and is made up of SECC and plastic. Front drive bays include four 5.25" of which one is 3.5" convertible. The front-panel is located entirely on the front, and not the top. There are six internal drive bays, which are split between two sets of 4 bays and 2 bays, each. The bays can be detached for cleaning, or to accommodate extremely long graphics cards. The bottom set can accommodate 2.5" drives. There are 7+1 expansion slots (8th one being vertical, for expansion brackets, etc.). Ventilation includes two front 120 mm fans, one rear 120 mm fans, while there's room for either two 120 mm fans (or a 2x 120 mm radiator), or one 200 mm fan on the top, one 120 mm fan on the side panel. The motherboard tray has a hole around the CPU slot area which makes it easy to deal with CPU coolers with backplates, there are three water-cooling holes, the third smaller hole could be for wiring to fans or pumps located outside. Cooler Master is asking US $60 for this case.
Thanks for the official press release btarunr, we've been discussing this case for some time now in another thread.
There are multiple versions of the case, the one that launched today is the most basic one. The ones with black interior are different models.
That is one ugly looking case! I don't like that Lego rip off Mega Blocks look. Black inside is pretty much mandatory on cases these days apart from some select Aluminium cases or coloured cases like white or something. 3 1/2" drive bay WTF no one uses floppy drives and if they needed to they could get a USB floppy drive, any 3 1/2" inch device usually comes with or you can at the least buy a conversion kit for a 5 1/4" bay. Not bad inside pretty basic which probably is proportionate with its price.
Apparently the United States is slated to receive only the most basic version first. Non-windowed with unpainted interior. The EU will receive the windowed version, but still unpainted interior while Asia gets the whole shebang with window and black interior. Read about this on another site.
