       Ladies learning code, a Canadian team of volunteers, are working to close the technology gender gap. They instruct the ladies, who range from early 20s to late 50s, who are interested in honing their skill set, learning some technical skills, learning how to communicate with developers and broaden their horizons.  Heather Payne who founded the group — with a tweet — these women (and a few men) are learning Ruby, the programming language on which Twitter is built. The first hands-on workshop in August taught JavaScript; an HTML class followed in ...

      Medical field have been able to advance at a very rapid pace, from advance surgeries to developing medicine to cure many diseases. However there is still many diseases which has been discovered yet we can’t find a cure, for example Cancer, HIV exedra. Due to complicity of these viruses we are still going to batle which have not have not moved forward in a right pat for these pased years. For example if we examine today treatment for cancer we will see there are only a certain percentage of cures that a medical doctor is able to achieve with such treatment “chemotherapy”, or even surgery or other kind of medical treatment. The reason behind...

      Neutron imaging is a widely accepted method of imaging within the aerospace, aviation and nuclear communities for examination of engine O-rings, detection of corrosion material within sealed units, and observation of water behavior in plants and soils. The use of neutrons in these applications is due largely to how the neutron interactions with atomic particles within the atom. Neutrons are uncharged particles and attenuation with material not related to density. This means that materials with high-z like lead, steel and bone are easy for neutrons to penetrate and high contrast pictures can be obtain. On the contrary neutrons react readil...

      Well the semester has started back up at UML which can only mean one thing; time to go back to high school!  After a little over a month hiatus, it appears as though all three classes have made significant progress in my absence.  The engineering class is now deep into their exploration of structural forces, stresses, strains, loads and interactions.  When I got back they were actually in the middle of constructing buildings out of straws, tape, and paper clips, which needed to be at least two feet in height and support at least two pounds.  Unfortunately, when we tested their structures during this past week only one of them was able to h...
