Pizza Vending Machines!!!

Wierd Vending machines

That is a Gold to Go vending machine... who needs gold to go?? There is also a vending machince that will make a pizza for you in 3 minutes flat.  another will give you, my favorite, books! and in Denmark you can rent a bicycle. Amazing what goes into a vending machine these days. Lastly, in Mami you can buy a condominum or rent a 1935 Cadalillac.

Reposting

Hello blog readers. I am restarting my blog to write about science, technology and random world news in the world arround us. This blog will also foucs on some scratch animations that I have made.

Super Bowl+PPPL

Two posts right now:
One the Superbowl will be in the Meadowlands in 2014 that will be the fifth time its played in a cold weather stadium that dosen't have a roof! Yay!!!!!
Also I went to the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, a while ago. It was cool to see the displays on plasma and energy and fusion. This was the first time I went to the PPPL open house.
Lastly I know how to put animations on my blog see!
Animated plasma

Literature Poems

"The Crosswise Kin"

Hans Hubermann
Kind, helpful
Loving, caring, painting
smart, musical, malevolent, pushy
hating, running, fighting
tempered, credulous
Hans Junior

"Grey"
Wood is tan,
Bricks are red;
When the grey Bombs go off
Everyone is dead.

The street is brown,
White is snow;
The ash is grey
That always seems to blow.

The flag is black,
The ground is green;
Hitler's mustache is grey
And he is mean.

Recently our class went on a trip for school to the Adventure Aquarium to learn about the animals species and phylum. In addition we were also there to learn about animals that don't normally live in New Jersey so that we can see them to learn about them and how effect the environment. Also we saw the shark tunnel and the Jules Vernes gallery of crustaceans and Cnidarians. My favorite part of the trip to the aquarium was that we got to touch jellyfish (they felt squishy) sharks (the shark I touched "jumped" as I touched it) and rays (the rays felt different that the sharks and the jellyfish). When we ate lunch one of my group members gave me a pencil. Also my group was one of the groups that got to see all the exhibits and take lots of pictures. Lastly the group I was in got to see lots of the big exhibits for as long as we needed. This trip was beneficial to student learning because the aquarium teaches us about how these creatures live and how they survive in the environment so that we can be better prepared to save these creatures from extinction. Another reason this trip was important was that it was related to our science curriculum and the trip reinforces the information we already have which will help us in higher level science classes.

Speeding Stars

Imagine you were on a white dwarf. now imagine that you were orbiting another star every five minutes. HM Cancari is the fastest pair of binary stars ever discovered. Scientists originally


believed this star to be just one giant star spinning around. Now they used a new telescope to find out that the stars are really two separate stars spinning around each other. These stars are going at about 310 miles per-second which is about 17.2222 times Earths speed which is 18 miles per-second. The location of these stars was not noted in the article.
This is a major discovery because now scientists can use the waves to find other stars and objects in the universe because they could bounce electromagnetic radiation off the waves and get readings to bounce back to find out where these waves go and what they hit. In addition, they can study if these stars collide the energy that comes off could be compared to other supernovas of stars and not white dwarfs and see how the energy that comes off a type 2 supernova and see how the energy decays and where it goes to learn more about how stars work. Also many new theories may come out of studying these stars and help us understand more about the universe and how we fit in.

In the Bosnia-Herzegovina War which took place from 2010-18 to 2010-15 (1992-1995). This War was a civil conflict between Bosnia and Serbia but other countries were involved, this conflict took place in the Balkans which is South of Germany. The Serbs were trying to ethnically cleanse Bosnia to untie the Serbs in both countries and to hurt the Bosnians for past conflicts. During this civil conflict about 400,000 Bosnians died most of them were innocents. About 100,000 of those 400,000 dead were genocided. All six safe havens created by the UN were taken over by the Serbs by the end of the war. In Srebrenica, one of the safe havens, of the 15,000 refuges fleeing the combat about 8,000 were killed by the Serbs, this was the worst genocide of the war.

Oil Navigates a Maze!!!

Can you beat this maze without messing up... In the past rats have completed mazes. now a new contender takes a spot in the winners circle OIL! Making oil move by itself usually only true in science fiction movies. However scientists who work in the Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois fill a maze with an alkaline* solution. And at the end square** they placed a drop of acid to create a pH gradient^ of oil to pull the droplet through the maze. They also created a situation where the droplet would purposely go and take a few wrong turns. The reason for making this oil droplet travel through this maze was so that they could test a new way for drug delivery and for medicines to find specific areas of the body and not release the medicine in the wrong spot or to give a higher dosage to a concentrated area. It could solve NP–complete^^ math problems or to remove oil from the byproducts and to remove oil from the water's surface in the case of a spill. They also can use this new technology to create better circuits.
To me this achievement can help the world to become better. This can be used to extract oil from the deep sea wells. Also this will help the world for it will open new science fields. Lastly, this achievement will help improve our world because this will help solve more scientific problems that can't be solved yet because it will open a new way to do experiments.

*Alkali's are best known for being bases (compounds with pH greater than 7) that dissolve in water. Alkaline is commonly used as a synonym for base, especially for soluble bases.
**Dotted square at the maze where there is a red dot
^ A pH gradient is established by the use of ampholytes^^^, when present as a mixture, migrate in an electric current to their pI, thereby producing a pH gradient
^^A decision problem C is NP-complete if: C is in NP, and Every problem in NP is reducible to C in polynomial time.
^^^having characteristics of both an acid and a base and capable of reacting as either
