Converting moving traffic into electricity

www.youthsprouts.blogspot.com

MagKinetics unveil a patent pending technology for converting moving traffic into electricity. They believe this practical and logical technology has the potential to solve a large portion of the world’s energy crisis. They are confident that if they can continue working with Physicists and Engineers to develop the technology further, this technology will lower Green house gas emissions, create unlimited electricity, create thousands of jobs and eliminate the need to alter the landscape as other renewable technologies require.

The implementation of the technology for generating electricity is “built into the road itself.” “Without any modification to the traveling vehicle, driving options or personal freedoms, our technology can be used to produce clean, efficient, and substantial electrical energy from merely driving in the normal course,” said the inventor and business partner co-founder, Mark Nejmeh.

Free music all for free

www.youthsprouts.blogspot.com

Back a while ago i wrote about a useful music service called SeeqPod. Ever since i have been using Seeqpod for all my music discovering needs.

Then came Blogmusik (Version 2)! Blogmusik has been around for a while now (and featured on AllMyFaves ever since we launched). It is another ad-supported streaming music service.

Recently, Blogmusik launched a new version of their site that allows you to search for music and play songs and albums on demand. The selection is amazing - that’s because all the music in the service is uploaded by their community. The legality of the service is a little skatchy but Blogmusik claim to be completely legal by saying.

“All tracks abailable to the user of the Blogmusik have been thoroughly analyzed by our song recognition engine. Each title you’ll upload will be analyzed, if a track matches an official release then it will be available to the community. This process takes a bit of time and is mandatory to pay the artists. If a track is not recogized, it’ll only be available for you through the ‘My MP3′ section. You’ll be able to share these songs through the ‘Blog Share’ section.”

The flash user interface is very intuitive and elegant. In order to search your favorite artist just type in the name of the artist/song into the search box and a nice comprehensive list will be available for immediate listen. After selecting the song you can interact with the service by viewing the full details of the artist, listen to the complete discography or just make yourself a playlist with all your favorite songs. If you can’t find your favorite song you can always upload it to the site and have it on your playlist.

Blogmusik is an amazing music service which i strongly recommend. Below i added myfaves playlist for your listening pleasure. Let me know what you think about the service or the playlist in the comments. Enjoy.

GOOGLE EARTH OR SKY, DISCOVER EARTH, 60 HUORS AROUND THE AERTH AND MORE

www.youthsprouts.blogspot.com

At 8PM on March 29, 24 cities around the world will turn off their lights. What began as one city (Sydney, Australia) taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world. This act has been created in order to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced. Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming. Wherever you look around - Planet Earth is slowing down so if you can’t change the world change yourself! Earth Hour.

Here at youthsprouts we try to support each week new initiatives for good causes. We are taking this opportunity to round up a few of the causes that we featured on our Weekly Faves. This way you can take a stand and see how can you make a difference.

You’ve heard about global warming with its subsequent impending ecological disasters, but what’s the real story? Spin the Globe in any direction to see the state of the earth from any angle. The layers that spin across the globe are gathered over the latest 30 days giving you a near-real time glimpse of the state of the earth. My fave layer is Earth Lights - Looking at the Earth as it appears when darkness falls across the globe and the lights come on. Make sure you check the red and pink dots. Google Sky - After Google Earth check the new addition by Google, The Sky - Explore the universe. The sky has been an inspiration for many, enjoy some of my faves - The sky is the limit, First moon landing 1969, Fly me to the moon, Space Cowboys, Armagedon and Star Wars. Don’t forget to check Google Moon or Google Mars. __

USA, Obama

www.youthsprouts.blogspot.com

The ladies of "The View" squabble on occasion, but they all agree on one thing: they think Barack Obama is sexy. "We were saying just before you came out -- maybe we shouldn't say this, but we thought you were very sexy looking," Barbara Walters told the presidential candidate this morning.

The Illinois senator, 46, also took time to answer one of the most pressing issues of the presidential election -- whether or not he's related to Brad Pitt. "I guess we're ninth cousins, something, removed - or something," Obama said. "I think he got the better-looking side of the gene pool!"

The New England Historic Genealogical Society recently claimed that Brad was linked to Barack through a relative who died in Virginia in 1769.

Web Security

Google: Introduction to Web Security

This submission contains two lectures and a programming assignment that is designed to introduce students to web based security.

Lectures

• Web Security Lecture #1
• Web Security Lecture #2

Coding Projects

• Programming Problem Set

How to Break Web Software

Presenter: Mike Andrews

Mike Andrews looks at how web applications are attacked, walks through a testing framework for evaluating the security of an application and takes some deep-dives into a few interesting and common vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited.

What Every Engineer Needs to Know About Web Security and Where to Learn It

Presenter: Neil Daswani

This talk discusses recent trends in security, and what every engineer needs to know to prevent the most significant emerging threats such as cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

Just as every engineer might use object-oriented design principles to achieve extensibility and re-usability, every engineer needs to employ principles such as the principle of least privilege, fail-safe stance, and protecting against the weakest link to achieve security.

Instead of focusing on "tips" and "tricks" that allow you to "band-aid" the security of your systems, Neil discusses how to derive defenses based on the application of security principles, such that you can determine how to deal with new threats as they come along or application-specific threats that might be relevant to your domain.

Finally, Neil presents some statistics on the current state of software security vulnerabilities, and discusses existing and upcoming challenges in the field of software security.

Getting started with a distributed system environment can be challenging. To help with this, we've assembled a few tools and resources that can be useful to both students and educators.

Hadoop Virtual Image by Google This VMware image contains a preconfigured single node instance of Hadoop. This provides the same interface as a full cluster without any of the overhead. It is suitable for educators exploring the platform and students working independently. The following Download and VMware Player links point to websites external to Google. Documentation - Download (110.1 Mb) - VMware Player

MapReduce Tools for Eclipse Plug-In by IBM A robust plug-in that brings Hadoop support to the Eclipse platform. Features include server configuration, support for launching MapReduce jobs and browsing the distributed file system. The following Plug-in and Eclipse links point to websites external to Google.
