Nairaland GeneralThe Battle Tank (a Short History On Battle Steel) by aphildam(op): 7:10pm On May 27, 2015
In 1915, a prototype tank nicknamed Little Willie rolls off the assembly line in England. Little Willie was far from an overnight success. It weighed 14 tons, got stuck in trenches and crawled over rough terrain at only two miles per hour. However, improvements were made to the original prototype and tanks eventually transformed military battlefields.The British developed the tank in response to the trench warfare of WorldWar I. In 1914, a British army colonel named Ernest Swinton and William Hankey, secretary of the Committee for Imperial Defence, championed the idea of an armored vehicle with conveyor-belt-like tracks over its wheels that could break through enemy lines and traverse difficult territory. The men appealed to British navy minister Winston Churchill, who believed in the concept of a “land boat” and organized a Land ships Committee to begin developing a prototype. To keep the project secret from enemies, production workers were reportedly told the vehicles they were building would be used to carry water on the battlefield (alternate theories suggest the shells of the new vehicles resembled water tanks). Either way, the new vehicles were shipped in crates labeled “tank” and the name stuck.The first tank prototype, Little Willie, was unveiled in September 1915. Following its underwhelming performance–it was slow, became overheated and couldn’t cross trenches–a second prototype, known as “Big Willie,” was produced. By 1916, this armored vehicle was deemed ready for battle and made its debut at the First Battle of the Somme near Courcelette, France, on September 15 of that year. Known as the Mark I, this first batch of tanks was hot, noisy and unwieldy and suffered mechanical malfunctions on the battlefield; nevertheless, people realized the tank’s potential. Further design improvements were made and at the Battle of Cambrai in November 1917, 400 Mark IV’s proved much more successful than the Mark I, capturing 8,000 enemy troops and 100 guns.Tanks rapidly became an important military weapon. During World War II, they played a prominent role across numerous battlefields. More recently, tanks have been essential for desert combat during the conflicts in the Persian Gulf.

"Sir Alec Jeffreys" Father of DNA Profiling cool
You are most welcome to expand your info-base
Science/TechnologyHow DNA Fingerprinting Was Discovered. by aphildam(op): 5:54pm On May 27, 2015
On September 10, 1984, geneticist Alec Jeffreys, 34, was working in his lab at the University of Leicester, in central England. More precisely, he was in the lab’s darkroom, studying an X-ray that had been soaking in a developing tank over the weekend. The X-ray was the result of a process through which recently discovered DNA sequence anomalies appeared on a sheet of film as rows of black lines interspersed with blank spaces- almost like bar codes. The particular X-ray he was looking at showed DNA “bar codes” from three people: one of his technicians and her mother and father.Jeffreys had no idea what to expect from the X-ray- he was just inventing the process, hoping to see evidence of change to specific regions of DNA between the parents and their daughter. But after looking at the blurry mess of dark and light spaces for a few moments, he suddenly realized that, completely by accident, he had discovered a way to tell if people were related. “It was an absolute Eureka moment,” he told a reporter in a 2009 interview with The Guardian newspaper. “It was a blinding flash. In five golden minutes, my research career went whizzing off in a completely new direction.”After the Eureka
What Jeffreys saw in that blurry X-ray: 1) each of the three family members had their own unique “bar code,” 2) all three of the family members’ bar codes relatedto one another (which makes perfect sense, as each of us gets our DNA as a combination of our parents’ DNA), and 3) the relationships were plainly visible. Jeffreys quickly realized that his findings would have implications regarding paternity. With such technology you could prove with scientific certainty whether someone was- or wasn’t- someone else’s child. Or even whether they were closely related.The technology could also be of use in criminal cases where the perpetrators left blood or other biological evidence behind.Jeffreys had apparently discovered something extraordinary- but what to do with it? Surely it would take decades for it to have any applications in the real world, he thought. So he simply kept working on what he dubbed his “DNA fingerprint” process, trying to improve it. Meanwhile, he wrote a scientific paper titled “Individual-Specific Fingerprints of Human DNA,” which was published in the scientific journal Nature in July 1985.Two weeks later, he got a phone call.Test Case: Paternity The call came from a London lawyer who told Jeffreys she’d read a newspaper article about his “DNA fingerprinting” and wondered if it could be used in an immigration case she was handling. A British-Ghanaian woman’s 13-year-old son had gone to stay with her estranged husband in Ghana for some time, and when he returned, British authorities didn’t believe it was him. They thought the family was trying to sneak someone else- possibly a cousin- into the countryon the son’s passport, and they wanted to deport the boy. Could Jeffreys prove that the child was the woman’s son?Jeffreys agreed to give it a try. He took blood samples from the mother, three of her other children, and the boy in question, and made DNA bar codes for eachof them. His conclusion: The boy was definitely the woman’s son. The lawyer presented the evidence to the British Home Office, and even though DNA testing had never been used in a case before, they were convinced. The boy was legally accepted as the woman’s son and allowed to stay in the country. Not only that, British immigration officials said they would allow DNA testing to decide any future cases that had paternity questions. The British Home Office had, perhaps withoutrealizing it, made the brand-new, still not widely understood use of DNA testing a legally legitimate procedure.Test Case: Guilt or InnocenceIn November 1983, the body of 15-year-old Lynda Mann, of Narborough, Leicestershire (not far from where Jeffreys worked), was found. She had been raped and strangled. Three years later, in July 1986, the body of 15-year-old Dawn Ashworth, of the nearbytown of Enderby, was found. She too had been raped and strangled. Evidence taken from both crimes showed only that the attacker in both cases had the, same blood type.Shortly after the second murder, Richard Buckland, a 17-year-old kitchen porter, was questioned by police. During interrogation he appeared to know facts about the crimes that only the killer could have known. He was arrested and subsequently confessed to the second murder. Police were convinced he had committed the first murder, too, but he insisted he had nothing to do with it.Having heard about the paternity case that Jeffreys had solved, police investigators asked the scientist to help them identify Buckland as the murderer of Lynda Mann. Jeffreys agreed to help. He extracted DNA from semen left at both crime scenes, and from a blood sample taken from Richard Buckland, then ran them through his process, made the bar codes, and established that one person had indeed carried out both attacks… except it wasn’t Richard Buckland.Nobody was more disappointed than Jeffreys. “As a man with a young family, living in the local area,” Jeffreys told the BBC years later, “I was as keen as everyone else that our discovery should catch the killer. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing. We’dtested and retested our findings.”BloodhoundsWith Buckland off the hook, policewere left with no suspects at all, so they decided to try something that had never been done before. In early 1987, they put out a call asking all male residents of the villages of Narborough and Endbury between the ages of 17 and 34 (about 5,000 men) to voluntarily submit to a DNA test. Some objected, seeing the requestas an almost science-fiction-like infringement of their privacy rights. But most of the men, understandably distressed by the idea that a vicious killer might be in their midst, were behind it wholeheartedly.Nearly all 5,000 men in the region voluntarily gave blood. And while Jeffreys’s new forensic technology didn’t solve the crimes directly, in the end it did help nab the killer. A man named Ian Kelly was overheard boasting in a pub that he’d been paid to give a blood sample in someone else’s name. Police interrogated Kelly, then arrested a 27-year-old Leicester baker with the distinctive name of Colin Pitchfork. Pitchfork confessed immediately, and later pleaded guilty to the rapes and murders of both Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth. He was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 30 years served.Aftermath Christiana and And ew Sarbah (the mother and son in the paternity case) were the first people in history to have a paternity case solved through DNA testing. Richard Buckland was the first person to be proven not guilty of a crime through the use of DNA, and Colin Pitchfork the first person convicted of a crime as a result of DNA testing. News of these events made global headlines. Within a year, DNA fingerprinting- now known as DNAprofiling- was being used in the United States, and in just a few more years it was considered a standard part of forensics almost everywhere in the world. And not just to find out whodunnit- but also to determine who-didn’t-dunnit.Jeffreys is still a professor at the University of Leicester, although he is now known as Sir Alec Jeffreys. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994 for “Services to Science and Technology.” He has received numerous other awards for what turned out to be one of the most momentous scientific discoveries of modern times. And it brought him some well-deserved fame: “Literally every two or three days I get an e-mail,” he said in 2009, “mainly from the States, from school kids saying, ‘I’ve got to do a project on a famous scientist, so I’ve chosen you,’ and I love that. I always respond.”

Science/TechnologyRobins Can See Magnetic Fields, But Only In One Eye by aphildam(op): 4:31pm On May 27, 2015
Despite its unassuming looks and gentle temperament, the humble red breasted robin (Erithacus rubecula) boasts a superhero-likeability. They can see magnetic fields, giving them an almost perfect sense of direction.Just to be clear, we don’t mean that a robin can sense the Earth’s magnetic field or something like that as many other birds can, it can literally see it. In fact, if you cover a robin’s eyes with an adorably tiny blindfold, it loses this ability completely, though it will still look rather dapper.Now the ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field (scientifically known as magnetoception) is an uncommon, but not unique abilityin the animal kingdom. For example, we’ve known since 1971 that a homing pigeon’s uncanny ability to navigate is partly down to tiny magnetic particles that were probably in their beaks. The discovery was made by one, William T. Keeton in an attempt to discern how homing pigeons navigated on overcast days, as it had been assumed or suggested up until that point that the pigeons navigated using only the sun, or a keen sense of smell. Though, the possibility of birds using magnetic fields had been suggested and even tested by other scientists up to a century before Keeton’s experiments eventook place (more on that in a moment), none of them were conclusive and in some cases theywere dismissed entirely.Which is odd since Keeton’s experiments were, arguably, very simple and involved nothing morethan strapping magnets of varyingstrength onto the backs of homingpigeons and jotting down the results. Though his findings weren’t what you’d call concrete, Keeton was able to make a number of conclusions about the homing pigeon.His experiments found that very young or inexperienced homing pigeons needed both the sun and magnetic cues to find their way home. However, more experienced or even just slightly older pigeons could navigate using one or the other. For example Keeton noticed that experienced pigeons were able to navigate in overcast weather without magnetic interference andin sunny weather with it, though the time it took them to get home usually suffered if they didn’t haveboth references. This effectively proved that a homing pigeon’s amazing innate ability to find its bearings was based on a combination of its ability to sense magnetic fields and the fact they seemingly know how to navigate using the sun, like tiny feathery Bear Grylls.It would take till 2004 though for scientists to conclusively prove that the homing pigeon’s beak was the source of its power, specifically tiny iron particles found there. To accomplish this, researchers in the University of Auckland placed homing pigeons in a tunnel with food next to a strong magnetic coil at one end. After discerning that the pigeons were indeed able to find the food when the magnetic coil was switched on, they then set about impairing a given pigeons ability to use its beak. Though they proved that strapping tiny magnets to a homing pigeon’s beak was enough to impair its ability to sense a magnetic field, to really make sure they even wentas far as cutting the trigeminal nerve in some pigeons. Though cruel, it did once and for all undeniably prove that homing pigeons use their beak to sense magnetic fields.As amazing as that ability is, however, the robin wipes its cloaca all over just merely “sensing” a magnetic field and as mentioned, they’re able to literallysee it. If you’re wondering how weknow this, it’s because somewhereout there, there is a scientist who spent years strapping tiny eye patches to baby robins and seeingwhat would happen… seriously.As noted in the Discovery Magazine article,Masters of Magnetism, a couple decades before people were experimenting on homing pigeonsto discern whether they used magnetic fields to navigate, a biologist in the late 1950s had already come to a similar conclusion about robins. That biologist was Hans Fromme, who noticed that his caged robins, despite being unable to see the sun in the windowless room he kept them in, tried to escape their tiny prison in the same direction whenever their usual migration season occurred.Since the birds were unable to seethe sun, Fromme was forced to conclude that they were able to sense which direction they needed to travel another way. Fromme suggested that the little robins were able to somehow sense magnetic fields, in keeping with a theory biologists had held for a while that birds had an inbuilt compass of sorts, but he never bothered testing his theory, or if he did, he didn’t publicize such experiments.The Russian zoologist Wolfgang Wiltschko, on the other hand, did, and in 1966, Wolfgang discovered that tiny little robins could be lured into changing the direction in which they tried to escape by magnets. Despite his amazing discovery, it was quickly derided and dismissed by the wider scientific community, as Wolfgang’s own wife and fellow zoologist later put it.You don’t want a stupid little bird doing something you don’t do.In other words, the idea was dismissed simply because scientists didn’t like the idea of animals being in possession of an ability us humans didn’t have access to.This didn’t stop the Wiltschkos, though, and they continued to study the effect for many years, eventually realising that in robins, the ability is based primarily on their vision, more specifically, the vision in their right eye. For example, they discovered that giving a robin a eye-patch on its left eye in no way affected its ability to sense magnetic fields; aneye-patch over their right eye, however, did.

True, but where for bible exactly wey God condemn gay?
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
.
19 since what maybe known about God isplain tothem, because God has made it plain to them.

20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from whathas been made,so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him,but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Although they claimed to be wise, theybecame fools

23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them overin the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodieswith one another.

25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie,and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them overtoshameful lusts.Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with womenand were inflamed with lust forone another.Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not thinkit worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder,, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love,no mercy.

32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,they not only continue to do these very things but also approveof those who practice them.
