Trouble in school (Episode9)

"Well-" Mr. Okolo scratched his head. He was desperate for money. But the boy was a devil. He was reckless and insane. He could expose everything in his senseless violence. "The police are still hunting in the dark. No tangible evidence. All motives heaped on the driver. The man was unlucky. He married a second wife just last week." the bursar concluded, hoping to reenact the request for the money. "That didn't mean, we've escaped. Mattew's shivvering like a fish. He could be dangerous," Tom said as he looked at him and saw the wave of fear that crisped his eyes. "You gave him part of his money?" asked Mr. Okolo. "He refused to touch it," Tom replied. His clean shaven head, shimmering in the clumsy fingers of sunglight that penetrated into the bar. "then we must do something very quickly." Mr. Okolo said fearfully. The temptation of touching a hundred thousand naira had dragged him into this. He was fast approaching his retirement, but he had not saved one naira. His salary was always a scatch on the back of his numerous problems. Besides, his wife kept reminding him, he was a worthless man. He knew his heart was too weak for such a risk, but he desperately needed an anchor in retirement. Happy xmas! Drop your christmas wishes here

ISRO ready for a critical crew rescuing test

The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment which was test-flown by the ISRO two years ago.—PHOTO: THULASI KAKKAT It will test how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from a spacecraft The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to conduct a critical ‘crew bailout test’ to see how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from the spacecraft safely in the event of an emergency. The test, known as Pad Abort, will be held at the launch pad of Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR) in a month or two, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) Director K. Sivan told The Hindu in an interaction on the sidelines of the ongoing expo in connection with the World Space Week celebrations at Ernakulathappan ground here. The test forms part of a gamut of critical technologies being developed by the space agency as it awaits the nod from the government for the ambitious ‘human in sp...

Referees add more extra time when the big teams are losing

the facts which shows how football referees add more time when big teams are losing soccer (football) fans suspected it, however now facts is confirming it. After analysing all the suits of the Spanish league "la Liga" from the 2014-2015 season,  specialists in sports technology have observed that the extra the difference on the scoreboard, the less stoppage time is delivered to the stop of the game. when the rating is tighter, however, referees have a tendency to feature extra stoppage time when the crew within the better department is losing. The stoppage time brought by way of the referee following the compulsory ninety mins of a football suit is used to compensate for time misplaced because of substitutions, accidents, expulsions and other incidents that stand up at some stage in the sport, but it seems as although different elements additionally play a position in step with a brand new look at.

MIT scientists makes use of terahertz waves to read closed books

 some Scientists, have invented a new technology that can read the pages of a closed book, an advance that may help archaeologists look into antique books without touching them. Researchers, including Ramesh Raskar from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S, tested a prototype of the system on a stack of papers, each with one letter printed on it. The system was able to correctly identify the letters on the top nine sheets. “The Metropolitan Museum in New York showed a lot of interest in this, because they want to, for example, look into some antique books that they don’t even want to touch,” said Barmak Heshmat, a research scientist at MIT. He said that the system could be used to analyse any materials organised in thin layers, such as coatings on machine parts or pharmaceuticals. Researchers from MIT and Georgia Institute of Technology developed the algorithms that acquire images from individual sheets in stacks of paper, and interprets the o...
