I nvention: New Technology could help buildings survive earthquakes according to NASA NASA engineers say they've found a new way to keep structures from shaking that could help buildings survive earthquake damage. The technology was developed at Marshall Space Flight Center and was successfully tried. The massive 365-foot-tall Dynamic Test Stand at Marshall Space Flight Center that NASA engineers first shook, then quieted with a new fluid stabilization device. (NASA)
The only person that don't retire, is a man of ideas Men of ideas don't have retirement age, even in death the world is still taping from their  well of ideas. Thomas Edison might not be with us today but the world is still benefiting from his legacy. The co-founders of Microsoft Bill Gates and Paul Allen are not going to be with us forever but their idea of Microsoft have a legacy that is definitely going to out-live them. The late Steve Job might be gone today but his idea of Apple company is something that is still making impact in the world of technology. How ever time might not permit me to start listing names of great men and women who saw and conquered, but one thing I will quickly like to say is that, inventors are not affected by retirement age and their ideas never die.

New Invention, a computer that daydreams just like humans Scientists have developed a virtual model of the brain that daydreams like human do, a finding that can help better diagnose and treat brain injuries. Researchers created the computer model based on the dynamics of the brain cells and the many connections those cells make with their neighbours and with cells in other brain regions. They hope the model will help them understand why certain portions of the brain work together when a person daydreams or is mentally idle. This, in turn, may help doctors better diagnose and treat brain injuries. The study was published in The Journal of Neuroscience.

US lawmakers propose national park on Moon Washington:  US lawmakers are pushing a plan to establish a new national park that would be quite literally be out of this world- on the Moon. Two legislators introduced a bill last week that would establish a national park on the Moon. Called the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act, the bill calls for the creation of an historic national park on the lunar surface to preserve artifacts from past Apollo missions. The proposed lunar national park, then, would consist solely of artifacts left behind from Apollo missions, such as footprints and landing gear. This would not include the moon itself, because according to the international Outer Space Treaty of 1967, no one can own the moon.
