We are about to see what happens when stars come to life. On March 13, the Atacama Large Millimeter/Sub Millimeter Array ALMA goes online. It the most powerful such telescope ever built, and is part of a class of very large telescopes that combine the power of several massive antennae to gather information about distant regions in the universe. ALMA is in northern Chile high desert, 16,500 feet above sea level. And it will show us things about the universe we ;ve never seen before. EarthSky Emily Howard has the story: According to the scientists, one nation alone couldn ;t build ALMA. Working with the host cou stanley cup ntry Chile, some of the largest observatories in the world joined together for ALMA. These include the N stanley termoska ational Radio Astronomy Observatory in North America, the European Southern Observatory, and observatories in Japan, Brazil and throughout Latin America. Sixty-six large radio dishes connect together to form ALMA. These dishes are located 30 minutes by car from the town of San Pedro de Atacama in Chile 鈥?at the top of the world 鈥?at an altitude of 16,500 feet, or 5,000 meters. At that height and in the desert, there is little water vapor in the air. Those conditions are perfect for ALMA stanley cup because water in the air blocks starlight in the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that scientists want to study.

Not necessarily. According to data from our 2009 National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, about 30% of women ages 18 to 59 experienced difficulty with vaginal lubrication during the most recent time they had sex. Women may feel on the dry side for a variety of reasons. They may actually be producing little vaginal lubrication as a result of menopause even the years leading up to menopause can be linked with less lubrication . Due to lower levels of estrogen while breastfeeding, new moms and their partners often benefit from using lubricant more regularly, too. There are also reasons people reach for lube including mara stanley canada thon sex sessions, and tight genital fit you may be on the large side for your partner vagina or anus . Plus, some couples leap into sex rather than take time to build ar stanley mug ousal through foreplay 鈥?and it arousal/sexual excitement that linked to lubricant production. So if you ;re squeezing sex in before work, before the kids wake up from their nap, or before your teenagers duck in just before curfew or before one or both of you falls asleep from a gru stanley termoska eling work day , it no surprise that you might want to use a little lubricant. Problems aside, some people just because they like the feel of wet, more slippery sex. Lubing up a partner penis, vagina, or sex toy can be fun. Some people feel using lube makes it easier to experience orgasm. And it can make sex with condoms feel better, too, so why not Dr. Debby Dkwl Paranormal Activity 4 will make you root for these movies to die

When Arie Haagen-Smit, a world-renowned plant expert and the man who discovered the active ingredient in marijuana, figured out that automobiles were responsible for southern California smog problem, he set off the quest for an electric car. The Quest is an examination of the history and future of where our energy comes from. Arie Haagen-Smit was an avid gardener with an abiding fascination with plants.

English is widely recognized as one of the world most difficult languages, due in no small part to its deep, highly irregular orthography. Niggling quirks in pronunciation, freaky verb conjugations, and seemingly non-sensical spelling conventions can all make English downright bewildering, even to native speakers. Take the word doubt, for example. Most well-read well-written English-speakers will tell you: the b is silent. But if it silent, why is that b there to begin with The lack of what linguis stanley website ts call a bilabial consonant in the pronunciation of doubt is even more perplexing when you learn that, when it first entered the English lexicon in the thirteenth century, the word was actually spelled doute 鈥?exactly the same as the French cognate from which it stems1. But as linguistic expert Gina Cooke explains in t stanley ca he TedED video down below, it wasn ;t long before scribes began to tinker with the word spelling, and the English doute quickly took on the D-O-U-B-T spelling we know today. Why would 14C scribes re-insert a silent letter W stanley website ell, doubt may have origins in the French word doute, but both share a common ancestor in the Latin verb dubitare 鈥?a root word that has given rise to related English terms like dubious and indubitably, each with bilabial consonant intact.

Ever since the term 8220 exual fetish was first used over a century ago, there been a raging scientific debate over what it means. Why does one person get off on shoes, while another gets off on certain large body parts Are these erotic feelings signs of illness, or simply preferences that are as inexplicable and harmless as liking spaghetti more than sausage Though sexual fetishism started out as a fairly neutral term over a century ago in early psychiatry, it become one of the most contested ideas in stanley taza medicine. Here why. The term 8220 exual fetish was first used in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by psychiatrists like Magnus Hirschfeld to describe 鈥?in a neutral fashion 鈥?the many ways that people experience sexual desire. Specifically, Hirschfeld and his contemporaries defined fetishism as the act of eroticizing any non-living obje stanley thermoskannen ct or body part. It wasn ;t a mental illness, but a description of a mental state. However, in a world where wanting even the most ordinary kinds of sex can be difficult and embarrassing, having a fetish could make people neurotic.

New Year Eve is this weekend, meaning that most of us are attending parties. For this week Shooting Challenge, I want you to capture that party 8230;in a really long exposure. 15 seconds to 30 minutes. The Challenge Take a long exposure of an NYE party. The longer, the better. And feel free to use lights for light painting, or make it natural whatever! The Technique Set your camera on a tripod somewhere no one will touch it. You can set the exposure up to 30 seconds with most cameras. To go longer, set your shutter to bulb mode the longer you hold the shutter, the longer the photo will expose for. A remote shutter will stop you from shaking the camera while you do so. stanley cup usa Set your aperture somewhat high f/11 or higher to increase depth of field to get the entire frame in focus . Keep your ISO low. No reason to suffer the noise of 800+ if you ;re doing stanley thermos a long exposure anyway. Depending on the amount of light in the room, you may very well need a neutral density filter. Make sure that, if you try a really long several minute exposure , your battery is fully charged.
