Paul Davies and Robert Wagner of Arizona State University have recommended a crowd-sourcing effort to find artificial structures on the moon. After all, lunar missions like NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter are returning some stunning, high-resolution imagery of the moon's surface. If aliens have been there, possibly we could spot evidence of their presence. "Although there is only a tiny probability that alien technology would have left traces on the moon in the form of an artifact or surface modification of lunar features, this location has the virtue of being close, and of preserving traces for an immense duration," Davies and Wagner say in their article published in the journal Acta Astronautical .         Indeed, due to the moon's pristine atmosphere, any modification of lunar surface features will remain preserved for eons -- the lack of an atmosphere means features are not eroded away. Unless intelligent aliens came, saw and then covered their...

Hairier skin could also be the key to avoiding being bitten by bed bugs, claim Sheffield academics. Hungry bugs placed on shaved arms were more likely to try to feed compared with those on unshaved arms, the journal Biology Letters reported. Researchers say the hair slows down the bed bugs and warns the victim. Pest controllers say the UK is now experiencing a steep rise in the variety of bed bug infestations. Prof Michael Siva-Jothy, from Sheffield University's Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, recruited 29 brave volunteers to check the theory further, watching the bedbugs as they found a place to feed and removing them only as they were about to bite. He found that more layers of both longer visible hairs and finer, "vellus" hairs close to  the surface appeared to work as a deterrent to the insects, with the finer hairs also acting as an early warning system. Prof Siva-Jothy said: "Our findings show that more body hairs mean better detection of parasites - t...

Standardized tests are taken all over the United States America. Federal and state governments, as well as school districts use them in order to estimate students and see what sections of the curriculum need development. Illinois calculates a state average, and for eight years now, Mattoon High School has been below state standard in the math portion of those tests. "Our students don�t comprehend the entire math taught throughout the curriculum. Every subject on the ACT is covered in algebra II and geometry," said MHS calculus teacher Ryan Ghere. The MHS mathematics division is adding to their curriculum this year in order to improve those math test scores. Ghere said, "We are doing cumulative tests, more Calculus calculator work, having weekly meetings to discuss, and allowing students to re take tests and quizzes. "I have learned most of the things in high school and feel like I will be ready for college", said Blanchette She said,"I have a complicated t...

Michael Jackson's doctor finally made a decision that was long overdue, telling a judge Tuesday refused to testify at the trial for manslaughter. Minutes later, the defense rested its case and the prosecution, after brief rebuttal to testify, he closed his evidence at the trial of six weeks. That set the stage for closing arguments to begin Thursday. The announcement of Dr. Conrad Murray arrived while jurors were out of the room and was not asked to repeat it for them. Spectators, including Jackson's mother, father, Brother Randy and Sister Latoya, seemed to hold their breath before Murray said one of the major outstanding issues of his trial, saying he would stay away from the witness stand. The doctor raised his hands clasped over his mouth in a sentence before asking Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor asked the cardiologist if he intended to take the stand. The judge lectured Murray as he had done before about how the decision to testify was hers alone and that he had the r...

There are many rental companies rent equipment that the variety of tools and equipment to contractors and the public. But one of the biggest problems with the heavy equipment osoyoos companies is that they carry only a small set of tools and equipment and others are not bothered by the teams that have.
