Tyche

Tyche

There is believed to be a new planet,Tyche[Ti-ch-e.](like Tai che].Tyche is believed to be 4 times jupiter and a gas giant.Jupiter’s equatorial radius is 71,492+4km,its polar radius is 66,853+10km, its surface area is 6.21796x10km,its mass is 1.8986×10 km,and last but not least is its volume which is 1.43128x10km.so measuring those facts x4=,

  • its volume is 5.72512
  • its polar radius is 267,412
  • its surface area is 24.87184
  • its mass is 7.5944
  • its equatorial radius is 285,968
  • and 1,788 earths inside Jupiter x4=7,152 earths inside Tyche.

but that’s just my math.Also many Astronomers believe it is not there.John Matese and Daniel Whitmere of the University Of Louisiana-Lafayette say they have been  studying “Tyche” for 12 years.which is 1999.suggesting its in a far-off region in our solar system called the Oort Cloud. “There’s evidence that some Oort cloud comets display peculiarities.We’re saying that perhaps the pattern indicative there’s a planet there ”  said Maltese.Though there argument is similar to the one they already made,”what’s new is the pattern has persisted,” Matese told Life’s Little  Mysteries “its possible it’s a statistical fluke,but that likelihood decreased over the past 10 years.”  . Matese says NASA’s WISE telescope may have already collected infrared data from “Tyche” that would be hard to get out from its immense database.”The spectum in  we predicted is uncertain,and there may be a great many signals that are similar to what is expected fro our object.So this could take time.” Matese said.”It could take 2 years  before a signal from Tyche –if its there,its located” he added.Matthew Holman,a planetary scientist at  the Harvard Smithsonian Institute Of Astrophyschics,is not a Tyche believer.Though he hasn’t read the latest version of Matese and Whitmere’s claim,Holman told Life’s Little Mysteries,”Based on  past papers that I’ve looked at where long periods of comets came from the sky,and finding large perturbs of the Oort Cloud,I was not persuaded by the evidence.”.Hal Levison,a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research in Bolder,CO.,Who recently authored a paper on the Oort cloud for Science magazine,seconded that opinion.”I haven’t read the latest version of his paper,which he claims is better than the old statistics than the previou attempts,where he also claimed that he saw evidence of this object,” Levison said.”But,in previou papers,I really think he did his statistics wrong.Incredible claims require incredible proof and I really believe that he doesn’t understnd how to do this statisical analysis correctly.” “What Matese claims is that he see’s an excess of comets coming from a particular place,which he contributes to the gravitational effects of a large planet in the Oort cloud.I have nothing against the idea,but I think the signal he claims he see’s is very subtle,and i’m not sure if its statistically signfigent,” Levison told Life’s Little Mysteries.”There’s another group in England that claims the same thing,but withJupiteron the other side of the Sun,” Levison said “and they also claim to explain the excess of comets.”

My opinion,Tyche seems real,and there’s another person to back it up,Zecharia Sitchin( January 11th 1920-October 9th 2010).He predicted Planet X/Niburu.Sitchin said that the Annuki came from a planet beyond neptune(/dwarf planet pluto)  called Niburu.He believed this hypothetical planet “Niburu” to be in a elongated,elliptical orbit in our solar system,asserting that Sumerian mythology reflects this view.You’re wondering “but,where’s Tyche?” its actually is a planet past Neptune.

Eco friendly time!

Remember Biosphere 2? Well, fast forward to the Ark, designer Alexander Remizov’s floating (or not) eco-friendly, energy-generating bubble hotel.

Remizov came up with the Ark’s plans as part of a program on architecture and disaster relief through the International Union of Architects (UIA). According to the Remizov’s Remistudio web site, the Ark is designed as: “an integrated energy system with an uninterruptible power supply using alternative energy sources.” And instead of glass and steel, the Ark is made of durable ‘self-cleaning’ and reportedly recyclable plastic panels.

According to this Spiegel International article, the Ark would be built around a central, lightweight pillar connecting both to roof-top wind generators and heat pumps, as well as to energy storage and thermal conversion units in the basement. Remizov also plans to have a ‘tornado’ energy generating spiral at the top of the central pillar.

The dome-shaped Ark, constructed of wooden arches falling out from the spire, steel cables, and transparent Ethyl TetraFluoroEthylene (ETFE) plastic (instead of glass) is made to be able to withstand earthquakes and stay afloat in the event of floods or rising seas. Remizov said on the web site that the ETFE foil shell of the building would also serve as a solar hot water collector as well as gutters to trap rainwater for us.

Remizov collaborated with a German design and engineering firm and the Moscow-based scientist Lev Britvin, who, according to Remizov, has developed energy-saving solutions for space stations. The company is now searching, according to Spiegel, for investors to make the design a reality.

Remizov also told Spiegel that prefabricated sections of the hotel would make construction possible in three to four months nearly anywhere in the world. Perhaps his design firm needs to take a page from the Chinese construction company that erected this hotel in 6 days.

The Ark would contain 150,000 square feet of living space.

Starbucks’ trademark Siren gets a facelift

Starbucks Corp. is giving its siren a facelift.

The world’s largest coffee company unveiled a new logo Wednesday that drops the words encircling its iconic sea nymph and gives her a few subtle updates.

Starbucks says the changes amount to more than nips and tucks to its favorite lady. The fresh look goes with a new direction for the company as it makes its way back from its toughest times in its 40-year history.

Prior versions of the logo helped build Starbucks into one of the world’s best recognized brands, and the company felt it no longer needed to reinforce its name at every turn. The new wordless logo also is better suited to the company’s expansion beyond coffee into a wider array of business lines and into more international markets.

Starbucks revealed the logo Wednesday to a cheering crowd of employees in its Seattle offices and on a webcast and plans to bring it to stores in March to coincide with the company’s 40th anniversary.

“What is really important here is an evolutionary refinement of the logo, which is a mirror image of the strategy,” said Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks. “This is not just, let’s wake up one day and change our logo.”

This is the fourth version of Starbucks’ logo since the company’s beginnings as a small coffee, tea and spice shop in Seattle in 1971. The first update came in 1987, taking the original bare-breasted siren in brown to a more stylized — and modest — version in green as the company began to expand. The image was further refined in the 1990s as the company went public and its growth soared.

Starbucks eventually suffered from its own success. It grew too far, too fast and began drawing criticism that it had become the Wal-Mart of coffee. Its luster further faded as the recession hit and consumers drank coffee at home or went to lower-priced competitors like McDonald’s Corp., which had upped their coffee offerings. The coffee’s giant’s sales and stock price both fell.

Starbucks brought back founder Schultz to lead daily operations in 2008, closed hundreds of stores and cut jobs. It reemphasized training for employees, allowed customers to customize drinks more, opened stores with more local flavor, increased its Wi-Fi offerings and launched a rewards program.

Its sales have rebounded, and its fiscal 2010 profit was more than double what it earned in 2009.

“We learned the hard way two and a half years ago that we have to earn it every day,” Schultz told employees Wednesday.

The company also expanded its product lines — introducing Via, its first instant coffee. It increased its emphasis on beans, ice cream and other packaged goods sold in grocery stores. And it put a big push on its other business lines like Tazo tea and Seattle’s Best Coffee. Starbucks ramped up its plans for international markets, like China, where it now has 400 stores on the mainland and plans to open hundreds more in coming years.

“We’re sitting today with record revenue, record profit; the stock price is at a five-year high. This isn’t an accident,” Schultz said.

Starbucks leaders say the changes to the logo are in some ways a metaphor for the company dropping the boundaries of its own business and growing into new areas. Marketing experts agree.

“The brand is now evolving to a point where the coffee association is too confining and restrictive,” said John Quelch, a marketing professor at Harvard Business School. “Starbucks is fundamentally selling an experience, but by no means is coffee the only part of the experience. It is important that they not have a logo that is too confining.”

Starbucks looked to companies like Nike Inc. and Apple Inc., which had earned the clout with consumers to drop the words from their logos. And it closely watched the missteps of others, such as Gap Inc., which launched a new logo in October only to withdraw it after harsh criticism by customers and others.

Starbucks sees other changes ahead under its new banner: it’s testing a system for customers to order and pay for coffee by mobile phone. It’s seeking a way for rewards card holders to earn points buying Starbucks products at grocers or other stores. And it’s considering offering beer and wine at night in some of its cafes. Starbucks also suggested it is looking at new food business opportunities, though company officials would not disclose details.

“I’ve never been more excited about the future of the company, I’ll tell you that,” Schultz said.

New death!

Salmaan Taseer (Urdu, Punjabi: سلمان تاثیر; c. 1945 — January 4, 2011) was a Pakistani businessman and politician who served as the governor of the province of Punjab from 2008 to 2011.He was a member of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and had also served as a minister in the caretaker cabinet of Prime Minister Muhammad Mian Soomro under Pervez Musharraf. Taseer was also the chairman and CEO of the First Capital and Worldcall Group.

He was appointed to the post of governor on May 15, 2008, in place of outgoing governor, Lt Gen (R) Khalid Maqbool, by then-President Musharraf at the request of the PPP establishment.

On January 4, 2011, Taseer was assassinated in Islamabad by his own security guard, who disagreed with his opposition to Pakistan’s blasphemy law.On January 4, 2011, one of Taseer’s bodyguards, Malik Mumtaz Qadri, shot him 27 times with an AK-47 at Kohsar Market, near his home in Sector F6, Islamabad as he was returning to his car after meeting a friend for lunch. Kohsar Market is a popular shopping and cafe spot for the city’s elite and expatriates.[After his assassination, protests erupted in different parts of Punjab. Protestors also burned tyres and blocked traffic in Lahore
].The next day thousands turned up for his funeral in spite of calls by numerous religious scholars against honouring him. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and thousands of supporters of the ruling PPP attended funeral prayers in Lahore. He was buried at a military cantonment in Lahore.
The assailant, Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri (Urdu, Punjabi: ملک ممتاز حسین قادری) from Punjab, was part of the security detail provided to him by the Elite Police. After the shooting, Qadri turned himself in to authorities. Qadri reportedly said he killed Taseer due to the latter’s vocal opposition of the blasphemy law in Pakistan. Notably, Taseer made headlines when he ad appealed for the pardon of a Christian Pakistani woman, Asia Bibi,who had been sentenced to death for blasphemy It was suspected that this was the main reason for his assassination.According to a report in the Dawn newspaper, the assailant was associated with Dawat-e-Islami, a religious organization associated with the Barelvi movement.
Local reactions Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf expressed grief over the assassination, adding that Taseer was a seasoned politician and his death was not only a loss for the PPP but the entire country.Many members of the country’s business community also conveyed their shock after the killing.Chief Minister of Punjab, Pakistan Mian Shahbaz Sharif condemned saying “This is really a big loss for the PPP and as we belive friendly politics deeply condemn this murder, praying for Mr. Taseer.”
The Jamaat Ahle Sunnat, an Islamic religious organization representing the Barelvi movement, issued an advisory against mourning his death.Local reactions-Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf expressed grief over the assassination, adding that Taseer was a seasoned politician and his death was not only a loss for the PPP but the entire country. Many members of the country’s business community also conveyed their shock after the killing.International reactions-United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the assassination calling it a blow to the countryUS Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the assassination saying “We strongly condemn the assassination today in Pakistan of Punjab Provincial Governor Salman Taseer.” Turkish President Mr. Tayyab Ardgan phoned to Mr. Zardari, saying that Turkish Leadership and People are always ready as a thumb for the Pakistani people as they consider them their Muslim Brothers.Social reaction-A fan page appeared on Facebook soon after the assassination in support of Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, showing news photos of him smiling. The fan page soon gathered thousands of supporters. A day later on 5th of January another Page was created on Facebook to criticize Mumtaz Malik, showing his address as Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi.
repercussions.In the international media- his death was seen as more destabilising for the tenuous situation in the country, particularly in the light of resignation of members of the ruling coalition. One local analyst said the death was a “major setback for Pakistan, which is trying to get out of this vicious cycle of violence and worsening economy. [The killing] will certainly weaken the party position in Punjab.” It was suggested that the killing was indicative of a “deeper trend” of “religious intolerance” afflicting Pakistan.
Taseer’s assassination may dissuade other Pakistani politicians from speaking out against the blasphemy law, according to a former U.S. State Department intelligence analyst with the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC.
