Google’s most recognizable feature till today is still the “search engine”. Google has a clear monopoly in terms of web related searches. Its search engine is nothing short of a technological marvel. Its smart algorithm keeps adapting and evolving to improve itself. However, this is just the precipice of the vast techn... |
The more outlandish and cutting edge tech (Google calls them Moonshots) is developed at the semi-secret innovation lab, termed simply as Google X. This division is dedicated to making radical technological advancements. It is situated about a mile from Google’s corporate headquarters, the Googleplex, in Mountain View C... |
Astro Teller is the scientist who directs operations of the US-based search giants innovation lab. His official moniker at Google X is “Captain of Moonshots“. Moonshot is what Teller calls the science-fiction-like sounding solutions they dream up at Google X. |
Failure is the means to an end to achieve success at Google X according to Brin. At Google X the mindset is to tackle large scale problems faced by the world and then tackle them. |
1. Problem Identification: Google X tries to identify large-scale issues that have a global impact. An example of this would be Project Loon, which aims at providing low-cost connectivity to the whole world. |
2. Idea Development: After a problem is identified all possible solutions are listed down and the top few solutions are voted on and taken ahead. |
3. Testing: Here the solutions are developed on a pilot scale. If the idea has come up with a solution it is taken forward to the next stage. |
4. Prototyping: A prototype of the solution is developed and it goes through an extensive array of tests. Upon successful testing and feasibility studies the product is either “benched” or it moves ahead to the production stage. |
5. Development: Post successful testing of the prototype, the project is taken to the development stage. Post user testing and through stress and volume exams, the developed product is then transferred to Googles mainstream development division. |
– Project Wing – a drone delivery system. |
Google X regularly undertakes several projects that have no tangible monetary outcomes. This is what sets Google X apart from typical silicon valley development divisions. Google is using its cash flows (and profits) from a massive advertising business to fund moonshots. Breakthrough innovation couldn’t have had a bett... |
Ps: A lot of you may be thinking that Google is defocusing from what their core areas of business are. So how about listening to what Larry Page has to say about this? Jump to 25:00 on the video below where Vinod Khosla quizzes Larry Page and Sergey Brin about this! |

The 1942 “York Plan” movie had a local star in York Safe and Lock’s machinist Jesse Breighner. |
The 1942 “York Plan” movie had a local star in York Safe and Lock’s machinist Jesse Breighner, who appeared in about 20 scenes. After which Jesse enlisted; becoming a decorated navigator-bombardier in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. |
This post also looks at the repository of that “York Plan” film. The following picture shows Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Vann Breighner; photographed after Jesse was commissioned as a second lieutenant, receiving his bombardier’s wings on May 20, 1944. |
The repository for the 1942 movie, highlighting York’s war materials production plan, has a high probability of being the Special Media Archives Services Division located in The National Archives at College Park, Maryland. I was told that film is likely housed in their 111 or 179 record groups. |
Of the two record groups, the suggestion was to check group 111 first. The following is a photo of The National Archives at College Park. The present Government Shutdown has closed all National Archives facilities; therefore the continuing effort to track down the 1942 “York Plan” movie is presently on hold. |
Jesse Breighner was born June 16, 1917, in Frederick, Maryland. At a young age, his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Lester R. Breighner, moved to 129 Hamilton Avenue; located just west of North Beaver Street on the north side of the Codorus Creek in York. Jesse is a 1934 graduate of William Penn Senior High School. Jesse married T... |
Following his acting gig, Jesse enlisted and graduated from the Air Forces Bombardier School at Childress, Texas, were he received his bombardier’s wings on May 20, 1944 After which he completed his aerial observer and celestial navigator training at Ellington Field, Texas. |
Jesse’s initial overseas service was in missions out of an airfield in Norway, however he spent the majority of his time overseas in the Pacific Theater of Operations during WWII. Lt. Breighner was recalled to duty in October 1951 and flew on 50 missions in the Korean conflict; where he received the Distinguished Flyin... |
Lt. Col. Breighner was stationed in Hampton, Virginia when he retired from the military in 1975. That is where he retired and passed away on August 11, 2001. Jesse is buried in Mount Rose Cemetery, Spring Garden Township, York County, PA. |
In 2001, Jesse had two surviving children; his daughters Jane M. Blackmon of Dallas and Shelley V. Anderson of Yorktown, VA. Maybe one of them has stories told to them by their father Jesse; the York Safe and Lock Company machinist, who made numerous appearances in the 1942 “York Plan” movie. |

This has been the year of lunch shaming. |
Earlier this year, legislators in New Mexico passed an anti lunch-shaming bill, but lawmakers in Texas haven’t had as much luck. |
Even though most school districts have reasonable policies that allow students to get an alternative meal even if they can’t pay their school lunch account, state Rep. Helen Giddings has led the effort to pass House Bill 2159, which would add some statewide regulations to ban school districts from publicly identifying ... |
Feeding Texas is collecting donations to send to schools that have gone into debt to feed students who can’t pay their lunch balance. |
As of today, you can donate to the Feeding Texas campaign, and the funds raised will be distributed at the end of the school year to reimburse schools that feed students whose lunch accounts are empty. Donors can’t see the overall total of money donated, though, and they haven’t set an official goal. |
AISD topped its $20,000 goal last month, but they’ve increased it to $25,000 to try to capture a few more donations before school is out. |
Schools are, by law, required to offer food that meets the federal nutritional guidelines, but this can be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and they don’t get reimbursed from the government for serving it. |
Though Giddings’ original bill was knocked off the calendar, a version of it was revived Saturday and passed by the House as an amendment to a similar bill — Senate Bill 725. The amendment…was based on Giddings’ bill and would allow districts to give meals to students without money in their school lunch accounts — and ... |
I am writing to inform you of yet another set of terrorist attacks against Israelis. Just this morning, before the clock struck noon, two stabbing attacks and one car-ramming attack were carried out by Palestinian terrorists, resulting in multiple injuries. Yesterday, a fatal attack took place at Jerusalem's Jaffa Gate... |
These attacks raise the total number of stabbing attacks to 96 since October alone, not to mention the dozens and dozens of other forms of terror inflicted on Israelis during this period. |
The numbers are staggering, and the list of victims keeps growing. Every name added to this list represents the pain and devastation of another Israeli family. |
Yesterday's attack sent three severely wounded civilians to Shaare Zedek Medical Centre and Hadassah Medical Centre. Two of the three victims, Ofer Ben-Ari, 40 years of age, father of two, and Rabbi Reuven Biermacher, 45 years of age, father of seven, died in the hospital in the hours following the attack. |
This is the tragic result of a cruel campaign of terror, and two more families —with nine children between them — have suffered an unimaginable loss. |
This attack is part of the wave of terror that Israel has endured for the past several months of Palestinians incited to stab, stone, and deliberately ram cars into innocent Israelis. |
Israel faces the threat of terrorism on all fronts, from individuals and from organized groups. New evidence constantly reveals systematic and ongoing attempts to plan and carry out large-scale terror attacks against Israelis. |
On Wednesday, Israeli security services exposed a large Hamas terror cell, consisting mainly of university students, who were preparing to carry out terror attacks in Israel. The cell was controlled by Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip. They also uncovered a makeshift terror laboratory in Al-Quds University in Abu Dis... |
They had the personnel and the means to carry out devastating attacks, and would have succeeded with their heinous plans were it not for the vigilance of Israeli security forces. This averted terror plot is a reminder that Hamas continues to act with the intent of carrying out mass-casualty attacks in Israel. |
I call on the Security Council to condemn yesterday's attacks in the harshest terms, and to include condemnation of Palestinian terrorism in future references to acts of terrorism around the globe. |
I should be grateful if you would have this letter distributed as a document of the Security Council. |
A North Park man says he did a double take when surveillance video showed a thief targeting his house. |
At 10:19 p.m. on Friday night, a man in shorts and a t-shirt eyes the house on Montclair Street, and leaves. |
“He looked at it, but didn't take it,” said Adam Jakowenko. |
It was a package Jakowenko had forgotten to take it inside. |
At 10:24 p.m., the man was back - this time with a cap, and quickly, he snatches the package from behind the front gate. |
The footage stunned Jakowenko when he saw it the first time. |
“I felt these butterflies. I got that feeling. Don’t even tell me this really happened,” said Jakowenko. |
Inside the package: a roll of athletic tape that cost $9.99. |
Jakowenko shrugs off the loss, but he remains concerned about what else the thief might be up to. |
“If someone is casing the neighborhood, that's concerning, because they're obviously looking for stuff,” said Jakowenko. |
On Friday night, that stuff disappeared while the couple was inside. |
“That was really upsetting. We were 40 feet away,” said Jakowenko. |
The couple's dog barked briefly when the man first walked up, but didn't when the package was taken. |
“You don't really expect it to happen when you're at home watching television. Pretty much stolen right from under us,” said Jakowenko. |
The video shows the thief was wearing a TaylorMade cap. If you have any information, you're asked to call San Diego Police. |
MAKING a safe fire is easy once you know the rules. Firewood is generally broken down into two categories: hardwoods and softwoods. Hardwoods like maple, oak and elm - trees that lose their leaves in the fall - give off the most heat and burn longer than softwoods, like spruce and pine, which are easier to ignite. |
The Wood Heating Alliance in Washington recommends burning a mixture of hardwoods and softwoods for the best fire - one that is easily ignited and long-lasting. |
Burning green, or freshly cut, wood is less energy efficient because it takes heating energy - energy that could be used for warmth - to extract moisture from the wood. Gary Satterfield, technical director of the Wood Heating Alliance, says green wood and softwoods also spark more, increasing the likelihood of a chimne... |
* First, before making a fire, make sure that the fireplace is not purely decorative. |
* All combustible materials - matches, draperies, furniture, newspapers and the like - should be kept at least three feet away from the fireplace. |
* Make sure the fireplace has a screen, or a glass door, and a flame-resistant hearth rug in front of it. |
* The fireplace should never be overloaded with too many logs, which can cause a fire to burn out of control. Check to see that is is burning properly and do not leave a fire unattended. Make sure the fire is out before you retire for the night. |
* Purchase a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector for your home. |
* Never close the damper with hot ashes in the fireplace, and dispose of ashes in a metal container with a lid. If you live in a house, put the ashes outside to cool, away from the house and away from other combustible materials. If you live in an apartment, make sure the ashes are completely cold before disposing of t... |
The best way to extinguish a fire is to let it cool naturally, according to John R. Button of the Office of Fire Prevention and Control. ''If you're going to bed at 10, don't throw more logs on at 9,'' he said. |
If you do use fake logs, there are certain precautions to follow: logs must be burned on a grate and only one log should be used at a time; logs must never be poked or broken apart, and fake logs should never be added to an existing fire. |
1. Place several wads of paper in the fireplace. 2. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top. (Kindling can be cut-up logs, small branches or pieces of wood that are easily ignitable.) 3. Open the damper. 4. Check to see that the chimney is unobstructed and that the room is adequately ventilated. 5. Light the paper. (Ne... |

CHICO >> Printmaking is a detailed process that requires a certain drive of passion. There is a certain love and devotion in the process of transferring information on to a surface with the ability of capturing the moment, because it is in the moment were the piece is. |
With one installation left to “The Chico Experience,” artist Jake Early will close the series dedicated to the heritage of Chico by installing the final piece on the Senator Theater at 9 a.m. on Oct. 10. |
Later that day, Chico Paper Company will host Early and Chico State University President Paul Zingg at a dessert reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. |
Early’s adventurous and personal project, which began as a conversation five years ago between Early and both Chico State Alumni Association’s Susan Anderson and Chico State’s Advancement’s Alan Rellaford, has developed into a creative peek. |
