Big New ExoPlanet Haul
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:18:52 02/01/12
From EsoCast in 1080p, comes the announcement of a rash of new planet discoveries. Astronomers using ESO's leading exoplanet hunter HARPS have today announced more than fifty newly discovered planets around other stars. Among these are many rocky planets not much heavier than the Earth. One of them in particular orbits within the habitable zone around its star. Among the new planets just announced by scientists, sixteen are super-Earths - rocky planets up to ten times as massive as Earth. This is the largest number of such planets ever announced at one time. A planet in orbit causes its star to regularly move backwards and forwards as seen from Earth. This creates a tiny shift of the star's spectrum that can be measured with an extremely sensitive spectrograph such as HARPS. In their quest to find a rocky planet that could harbor life, astronomers are now pushing HARPS even further. They have selected ten well-studied nearby stars similar to our Sun. Earlier observations showed that these were ideal stars to examine for even less massive planets. After two years of work, the team has found five light super-Earths around three of the stars. These planets are very good candidates for future observations looking for evidence of life. One of the newly found planets, named HD 85512 b, orbits inside the habitable zone. This is the narrow area around a star where water can exist in liquid form. Astronomers estimate that liquid water could possibly be present on this planet if it is a rocky world that has more than 50% cloud cover. By looking carefully at the results from the first 8 years of HARPS observations, the team has found that around 40% of stars similar to the Sun harbor at least one planet lighter than Saturn. These new results lead astronomers to believe that they could soon find more super-Earths in the habitable zones of their stars with HARPS. These planets will be great targets for powerful future telescopes to try to study their atmospheres lo

New Guinness Record for Largest Camel Race
For more news and videos visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ me.lt A new Guinness Record was set on Sunday with 555 Bactrian camels joining in the world's largest camel race in north China's Inner Monglia. The two-humped Bactrian camels are native to the area, and are considered an endangered species. Five hundred fifty five Bactrian camels completed a five-kilometer cross-country race on Sunday, setting the new Guinness World Record for the largest camel race in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The two-humped Bactrian camels are native to Inner Mongolia. Even so, to get them into top condition for the race, training began six months before the competition. After the three-hour competition, 555 camels succeeded in challenging the Guinness world record. Yilatu was the first to cross the finish line. Although there are an estimated 1.4 million domesticated Bactrian camels, there are only about 800 remaining in the wild in northwest China and Mongolia and the species is considered critically endangered.

Studio Guest of the week
[LESS INFO] 10 VIEWS | ADDED 22:30:00 06/21/11
Our studio guest this week is Jens Krüger from TNS Infratest.DW-TV: First of all, are you on our Facebook? Jens Krüger: Interesting question. Yes, I started to be with Facebook a couple of months ago - five or six. DW-TV: How do you use it for work? Jens Krüger: No, I tried, and now I'm involved for private reasons, as well. I started with business, because, as a market researcher, I'm always interested in opinions and attitudes of consumers. We try to be very well connected - to get more information and more insight about the habits, about what they think about brands and so on. DW-TV: So are social networking sites now a key element for advertizers? Jens Krüger: Yes, I think they will develop in this way and this direction. At least, actually only ten percent of the volume of advertizing spenders goes through the internet or online media, so far as social media (is concerned), but this will increase dramatically over the next few years. This is what we think. That it will completely change, because, it's more or less a fact that, just as we are now talking to each other, that human beings always try to be in contact with other human beings, and so social media will increase dramatically the speed with which people will be connected to each other. DW-TV: So you wouldn't say it's just a flash in the pan - or is it here to stay? Jens Krüger: Of course not. Definitely not, definitely not. DW-TV: How are advertizers changing things, when it comes to targetting consumers directly? Jens Krüger: Well, the targets of the advertizers and the companies who are trying to be in social media and be part of the social media community - they try to gain different targets. First of all, they want to get in contact with consumers - we haven't been well connected up to now, especially not with certain young, urban people, who are very mobile, globally connected. And they want to get a better reputation, as well. And this can more often be better done when you have a dialogue and interaction and connectivity with the consumers. DW-TV: Well, on the topic of reputation, what kinds of things backfire. Jens Krüger: So far, it hasn't happened that much - if you react in a very professional way. And acting in a very professional way on social media means, to be able to neglect (ignore) this kind of negative reputation and say, OK, that's fine, that's negative, but leave it as negative. And don't try to put negative information and negative postings from your community. That way there can really be trouble, and there's one funny example from two or three years ago with very famous producers like Pampers, you know, and he put on some negative features from his own block, and then there was big trouble in the press, through journalists, because it was some kind of Zensur. they tried to do. DW-TV: Censoring, in other words. Social media sites are generally used by younger generations. Are they blocking out the older generation, or other users? Jens Krüger: Well, look at me: I'm not a digital native, as we call this kind of young people who try to be at all times connected to the internet, but this will change. The same (goes) for the usage of the internet in general. Five or ten years ago, there were only forty to fifty percent of the people using the internet; now it's for sure here in Germany seventy to eighty percent. And the people even use it for social networking, as well. And even from my point of view, my mother, now is looking at this iPad. And she was not very keen on normal PCs. But now she tracks the iPad and says, OK, that's easy. It's plug-and-play, and I can use it. So, and she's 75. And sometimes... DW-TV: It's hard to keep up, but she's doing a good job of it. Jens Krüger, thank you very much for joining us.

Deepak Chopra: Five Breakthroughs for the Body
[LESS INFO] 23 VIEWS | ADDED 01:37:49 11/19/09
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/10/22/Deepak_Chopra_How_to_Create_a_New_Self
Spiritual guru Deepak Chopra reveals five breakthroughs he claims to have discovered while writing his latest book, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul. He maintains that the body, genetics, and the concept of time can be changed through altered thought processes.
-----
"You can't change the body without changing the self, and you can't change the self without bringing in the soul," says Deepak Chopra, a renowned pioneer in holistic medicine. Chopra believes the highest choice is to reinvent your body and resurrect your soul.
He discusses aging, the many lifestyle diseases he says are the result of the steady loss of energy inside the body, and how awareness can reverse the process.
From early childhood, each of us has been inventing our body, through beliefs, habits, conditioning, and our mental responses to everyday stress. We've done this unconsciously, and may now feel dissatisfaction on all levels: body, mind and spirit.
Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul offers three keys to creating the self you desire: the soul shift, the subtle action, and the core participation. Chopra's message is that your highest vision of yourself can be turned into physical reality. - Commonwealth Club of California
Deepak Chopra is the author of more than fifty books translated into more than thirty-five languages. Dr. Chopra is a fellow of the American College of Physicians, a member of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, adjunct professor at the Kellogg School of Management, and a senior scientist with the Gallup Organization. He is founder and president of the Alliance for a New Humanity.
Time magazine heralds Deepak Chopra as one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century and credits him as "the poet–prophet of alternative medicine."
