May means a lot for CNS race fans. Not only do we have some of our most anticipated races of the season coming up, but May signals the unofficial start of summer which means clear skies, warm weather, huge car counts and (finally) a dry track!
That's right folks, while the state of Colorado sat under 5 feet of snow all winter long, we at CNS were hard at work crafting something new and improved for our adult patrons.
Parents, Seniors and everyone else share many things in common. We like to have somewhere comfortable to relax and just be ourselves. After a long week of obligations, appointments and headaches, we like to kick up our feet, have someone bring us a cold drink and ask "can I bring you anything else?". Thanks to the thoughtful folks at CNS now you can do just that in the all new Beer Garden!

Billions And Billions: Our Galaxy Has At Least 100 Billion Planets, Of Which 17 Billion Are Earthlike
There is also a cornucopia of comets.
Comfortably a few years into their mission, scientists working with the Kepler Space Telescope are now getting deep into statistics. Like pollsters drawing conclusions from a small sample of voters, they're confident the few thousand planets and planet candidates they've found are good analogs for the rest of the Milky Way.
And they say the Milky Way has a lot of worlds: At least one for every star, and at least one Earth-like one for every six stars.
There's a ton of exo-news coming from the American Astronomical Society's winter meeting in Long Beach, Calif., today. Tops on the list is the announcement that Kepler has found 461 new planet candidates. This brings the Kepler catalog to 2,740 potential planets orbiting 2,036 stars, according to NASA, which operates the telescope. The most dramatic increases were seen in the number of Earth-size and super Earth-size candidates, which grew by 43 and 21 percent, respectively.
Also interesting: 43 percent of Kepler's planet candidates have at least one neighbor. That means a substantial number of planets reside in planetary systems, and are not solo orbiters. And one more bit of statistics: Astronomers have also found whatever type of star you're talking about, it can have an Earth-size planet around it. Based on estimates of Earth-size planet candidates found so far, there could be 17 billion of them.
Billions and billions of Earth-like planets, that means. Carl Sagan would no doubt be thrilled.
Kepler finds planets by staring at about 156,000 stars and noticing blips in their brightnesses, which could be the result of planets passing in front of them as viewed from our vantage point. These blips have to be further studied to ensure they are really planets, which is why astronomers refer to candidates versus confirmed planets. So far there are 105 definite, confirmed planets among that exoplanetary census.
Caltech astronomers John Johnson and Jonathan Swift confirmed a few of those recently for a study measuring planetary abundance in our galaxy. They looked at Kepler-32, a five-planet system hosted by an M-dwarf star. These stars are incredibly common in our galaxy; about 76 percent of all stars are M-dwarves. These are orange-ish stars compared to our yellow sun, and they're about half the sun's size. Other astronomers have already guessed there's about one planet per star in our parts, but this is the first time anyone has figured that estimate using the most common stars.
Two planets in Kepler-32 had already been confirmed using Earth-based double-check methods, and the Caltech team confirmed the other three. The planets are similar in size to Earth and orbit pretty close to their star. These planets are also a lot like the other ones orbiting M-class stars that Kepler has seen so far, according to Johnson and his coauthors. That means the majority of planets orbiting common stars probably are comparable with these planets. Therefore, the one-planet-per-star calculation is probably conservative, Johnson and Swift say. Further analysis could turn up numbers that support at least two planets per star.
The planets in Kepler-32 are also helping refine theories of how planets form. The planets probably formed farther away from their star than they are now, and moved inward. And they formed from a disk of gas and dust that surrounded their star when it was younger.
This is further confirmed by another exo-study--this one involving exo-comets. After planets like the ones in Kepler-32 system (and in our solar system) are done forming, there are still some leftovers, planetisimals and comets. Barry Welsh, a research astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory, set out to find these remnants, and located six new exocomet systems. These comets orbit A-type stars, which are very young (around 5 million years old). But again, statistical evidence suggests the older stars should have comets, too. Exocomets may be as common as exoplanets.
What are the implications of all these findings? For astronomers, they show Kepler and ground-based observatories are capable of finding a huge range of planets and planetisimals around a huge range of stars, which means many more findings like this are still to come. But in the broadest terms, they confirm something every human should know: We are not unique. Other rocky worlds orbit other middle-aged, medium-bright stars, everywhere in our corner of the cosmos.
Swift, a postdoc at Caltech who was lead author of the Kepler-32 paper, summed it up perfectly: "Kepler has enabled us to look up at the sky and know that there are more planets out there than stars we can see."

While it is impossible to travel the cosmos with our current state of technology, perhaps we should focus more on finding that intelligent cosmic life form.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the universe is teeming with life on trillions of other planets, but so far we've only observed living organisms on one planet: earth.
If we find evidence of intelligence on another planet, it raises an interesting question. Given the vast distances involved, will we ever be able to make contact, even in the very distant future? Or will the cosmic speed limit of light completely prevent contact?
Before people had this barrier that we travel faster than horses.
Before people believed man was not meant to fly.
Before people believed we could not break the sound barrier.
Before people believed we would not survive out in space.
The speed of light is just another barrier.
I am optimistic about Us. I believe We won't destroy ourselves before we achieve all these things. That's the only reason why I want to live longer than a lifetime. I want to see Us accomplish all those things.
What is reality, but the chemical response in your brain, maybe? If we could hook your brain up to an electronic interface and then point a highly sensitive probe onto a distant planet and have you projected in front of an area on that distant planet, while sensing everything going on that location in that distant planet in your mind directly, then you just space traveled in an instant.
PooF! Your there!
Amazing... Robot, I've been thinking similar ideas too but for a different application.
Imagine the greatest minds our species has to offer and they agreed to have their brains hooked up to your electronic interface after death, they could keep doing what they have been doing best forever...

Jenson Button believes McLaren can look forward to a strong showing in Hungary thanks to their latest batch of updates.
McLaren introduced new sidepods and rear wing as well as other less noticeable updates at the previous race in Germany which Button finished in second place.
The Woking team carried that pace through to Friday's first practice in Hungary with Lewis Hamilton finishing quickest ahead of his team-mate
"I feel the parts we put on the car work for us and I think maybe they're getting the tyres to work more in the dry conditions," Button said.
"The dry is much better. There's still some areas where I feel we're weak compared to the Ferrari and the Red Bull.
"I got to look at their cars quite a lot at Hockenheim, but there are areas where we're stronger also.
"In the wet it's still tough, because we struggle to get temperature into the tyres.
"If the conditions are slightly wrong, slightly too wet for that tyre, it doesn't work and we're four seconds off the pace like we were at Hockenheim."

PCIe 2.0/3.0, PCI Express® Design & Test Information Resource Center
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, officially abbreviated as PCIe® or PCI Express®, is a computer expansion bus standard designed to replace the older bus standards such as PCI.
PCIe 2.0 doubles the transfer rate of PCIe 1.0 to 5 GT/s and the per-lane throughput rises from 250 MB/s to 500 MB/s.
PCIe 3.0 has a 8 GT/s bit rate which is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 and effectively delivers double the PCIe 2.0 bandwidth.
Regardless of the PCIe generation design challenges you are facing, Agilent offers a complete solution set from electrical to protocol. Work with Agilent and achieve your best design.

Ok so I am a girl born with odd eyes - one brown and one black. My natural eye colour should have been the brown but due to a birth defect, one of my eyes turned into a pitch pitch black colour. Sometimes it makes me look squint eyes when i am not, and in the sun, you can see my brown eye turn really light and hazel, and the black stays black so their is a huge difference. I feel as if everyone stares at me and i don't feel confident when i go outside. If I was to put on a coloured contact lens to only my black eye, the exact same colour as my brown eye, would that be halal or haraam? Please help! |
The question has been closed for the following reason "The question is answered, right answer was accepted" by sadie Jun 18 at 02:34
Wearing contact lenses in Islam There are two types of lenses: 1 - medical lenses, which are used for the treatment of visual impairment, since in these cases the lenses are used as medical treatments, it is permissible to use them for this purpose, with specialist advice. 2 - The colored lenses: These lenses are an ornament for women, which means if she uses them for her husband, then it is OK, but if she uses them for others it is permissible only if they don't cause lust. Additionally, they must be harmless for eyes and not be used for luring. Also you must not pay too much money to buy these lenses since it is a waste of money. Some of the Islamic religious leaders believe it isn't permissible to wear colored lenses for two reasons: 1 - Colored contact lenses are harmful for eyes, and this fact has been confirmed by doctors because the colors that are used in these lenses are harmful for eyelens. 2 - Using colored contact lenses in order to change eyes' color is actually changing Allah's creation. Overall it's better not to use colored contact lenses as it is a kind of dissatisfaction of Allah's creation and changing it. This is a general guide for wearing contact lenses in Islam. In your case colored contact lenses are used as medical treatments not ornaments so it is permissible to use them with specialist advice. |
agree with the above post a good detailed answer |

6.10 Domains, URLs and aliasesPolicywww.fao.org is the entry point to all FAO information on the Internet and is the domain under which, in principle, all information published by FAO on the Internet should be located. This policy applies also to projects, programmes, networks and initiatives done in partnership with other Organizations, Institutions and Donors. Non-FAO domain names are allowed on an exception basis and the registration process is handled by OCC. All requests must be cleared by OCC. Internet domain registration and subdomainsThe domain name identifies a Web site on the Internet. Every time a domain name is used it is actually translated into a corresponding Internet Protocol (IP) address. For example the domain name www.fao.org corresponds to the IP address 184.108.40.206 (for "fao.org" on the www sub-domain). Domain names, not IP addresses, are used because they are alphabetic and therefore easier to remember. A sub-domain is a domain that is part of a larger domain name. For example, in the domain name money.cnn.com, "money" is a subdomain of the larger domain cnn.com. Domain registration is the process of securing these Web addresses. Registration or renewal is done through official registration sites for a specified number of years. Anybody requiring a new domain should write an e-mail to OCP (use firstname.lastname@example.com), explaining the need for the new domain name. Please see the document DNS entries and sub-domains for FAO.org: policies and procedures [internal]. How to phrase a URLIt is best to keep URLs simple so that they are easy to copy and paste and so that they may easily be typed into a browser, used on brochures etc. It is important to avoid empty spaces in file names, otherwise they will display as "%20%" and may produce errors. How to obtain an alias or subdomainAn alias is used when files are located in directories making a URL difficult to remember, for example, the Web page http://www.fao.org/waicent/portal/outreach/ has the alias http://www.fao.org/imark/. Appropriate aliases or subdomains under fao.org can be established to provide the required identity. The Director or Head of Office or, in case of field projects, the Director of the lead Technical Unit, responsible for the activity requiring an alias, subdomain or new domain should write by email to OCC (email@example.com), explaining the business case for the request. |
