Many museums have begun to use mobile devices to provide interactive content to visitors. However, such devices can also easily distract visitors, drawing their attention away from the exhibits. In this pictorial, we show the steps in designing Scienscope-a hand-held mediation device that can be used as a stethoscope to explore additional information hidden within exhibits at close range. As Scienscope hovers on authentic objects, it provides digital content and audio-haptic feedback, reinforcing the visitors' exploratory behaviors. After interviewing museum experts and bodystorming the museum space, we followed an iterative design process using low-fi prototyping to explore the users' experience. Three application scenarios were devised to show how Scienscope can be used for different types of exhibits. We discussed how visitors respond to and explore hidden information about exhibits at close range, which can be helpful for museum curators and designers.Up 4...have run 14 consecutive running plays, the prior drive for a score and this one inside the 10.
The 15th play was a pass, tossed out the back of the end zone. Next one a run, putting the ball at the one.
We just gave up over 200 yards on the ground.
Ick.
Way to show your confidence of your quarterback after throwing one interception!gh Castille is huge though, and Lucky is fast. I don't know whether or not we can stop them if they run all game long.
Watching Keller throw the ball, I say we run blitz and keep that box stacked all game against kNU. I'll take my chances on him beating us as opposed to the O-Line and Lucky.
Nebraska will be a tough game for us in Lincoln. At this point, keeping it within 20 points would be a win in my book. I hate thinking that.During the past century, astronomy has been revolutionized by the use of new methods for observing the universe, but still today the origin of dark energy and dark matter is unknown. The answer to these and other mysteries may require us to probe back to the earliest moments of the Big Bang expansion. Questions of origins, such as ‘how did the Universe begin,’ provoke fascination and are at the forefront of ASU’s Origins Project, which Krauss directs.
The observation of primordial gravitational waves could provide a new and unique window on the earliest moments in the history of the universe and on possible new physics at energies many orders of magnitude beyond those accessible at particle accelerators. Such waves might be detectable soon, in current or planned satellite experiments that will probe for characteristic imprints in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background, or later with direct space-based interferometers. A positive detection could provide definitive evidence for inflation in the early universe and would constrain new physics from the grand unification scale to the Planck scale.Birds of Prey Issue 61

Oracle feels that Black Canary's mistakes in the field mean that they should end their current working relationship, but comes to realise that she needs to trust Canary more. She also considers bringing Huntress in to the operation on a probationary basis. Meanwhile, Savant escapes from imprisonment, vowing to track the Birds down, and Canary begins a training regime with various super-hero friends and allies.// license:BSD-3-Clause

 NES/Famicom cartridge emulation for Bandai Karaoke Studio


 Here we emulate the following PCBs Bandai Karaoke Studio [mapper 188]

 The Karaoke Studio cart consist of a large connector which fits the FC cart slot, with a microphone
 connected. The game data is in the connector itself. The microphone has two buttons on it, and the
 game uses these only to navigate through the menus (the two buttons are not read through the controller
 port, which is not accessible from the cart, but from $6000-$7fff). Part of the connector body can be
 removed to be replaced by an expansion cart containing new songs (we emulate this by adding a -cart2 slot).


 TODO:
 - verify expansion slot emulation for the Senyou Cassettes:
   not much documentation exists about the expansion carts (except for few paragraphs
   at Enri's FC webpage), so I implemented it based on "common sense"
   * expansion carts do not contain the required game data => main PRG must be in the main cart
     so to remain connected even when an expansion is inserted (differently from Datach, where
     the base unit contains no PRG)
   * bankswitch writes with bit3=0 (to access expansion) when no expansion is present should do
     nothing
