4.5 Billion Years Of Earth's History In One Chart
by Ria Misra
Parsing out how to picture time is a tricky process. When we talk about time on a human scale — in seconds, minutes, days, years, decades — it's not so difficult to grasp. But when we shift to the universe's scale and begin to grapple with billions, things get much more complicated.

Broga Mats, Yoga Mats Specifically Made for Men’s Bodies and a Line of Whimsical Carrying Bags
by Lori Dorn
Yoga enthusiast Dan Abramson has created BrogMats, a line of yoga mats that are specifically made to accommodate the larger size of men’s bodies along with a line of whimsical bags in which to carry the oversized mats.
Brogamats was founded on the belief that yoga practitioners defy simple categorization, and include people of all walks of life, all genders, all Lululemon budgets, and all levels of earthy pretentiousness. We are avid yogaphiles who felt the range of yoga products currently available was frustratingly narrow, so we decided to start designing our own. First, we threw on some graphics that we thought would be fun to carry on our backs on the way to class or unfurl in front of envious classmates. Second, given that men are taller, heavier and sweat more than women, we decided to make a mat that was extra long, extra thick, and grippy as hell.
We previously wrote about Yoga Joes, Dan’s latest yoga-themed project

Bellevue Hospital Says Patients Feared To Have Ebola Do NOT Have The Disease
EMS crews who dealt with the patients have also been isolated as a precaution, sources said. But a hospital spokeswoman insisted Monday: 'There are currently no patients suspected of having Ebola at Bellevue.' If confirmed, the two would be the first cases in the city of a deadly disease that has already killed 4,000 people in West Africa and claimed one victim in the U.S.

Game Review: Bayonetta 2 welcomes players with something-for-everyone surrealism
by Joe Keiser
One of Bayonetta 2’s many virtues is that it introduces itself accurately and succinctly. Pressing start on the game’s first section introduces the game’s titular witch via a slow panning shot from her neckline to her crotch. Under player control, she then mauls a dozen seraphim, jumps into robot armor, and murders some hulking cherubs riding on the back of a house-sized demonic manta ray. Her world’s bizarre creation myth plays in the background the entire time, seemingly without reason. Five minutes have barely passed, but Bayonetta 2 has already expressed itself fully—here is what it is, here is what it will be teaching, here are the bizarre tics of personality that you have to push past.
It is a confident approach, and for a game like Bayonetta 2, it is also the only approach. This is a game that takes some central ideas—ultraviolence ...

New Species Of Snail Named In Celebration Of Same-Sex Marriage
Researchers in Taiwan have taken the unusual step of naming a newly identified species of snail in recognition of same-sex marriage rights. Dubbed Aegista diversifamilia, the hermaphroditic species was so named to reflect the “diversity of sexual orientation in the animal kingdom," said Dr Yen-Chang Lee, who co-authored the study published on Monday in the journal ZooKeys.

Under Armour Holds A Game Show To Find Its Future
The setting is a close facsimile of the reality TV show "Shark Tank," complete with lights, cameras, and a giant clock making sure the business pitches are brief. The only significant difference is the number of push-ups—and the tendency of Under Armour Chief Executive Officer (and competition judge) Kevin Plank to get involved in the workouts.

Newswire: Luke Wilson to play NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in concussion movie
by Sam Barsanti
firehosemakes sense
As reported by The Wrap, Luke Wilson has signed on to Ridley Scott’s yet-untitled football concussion movie. Wilson will be playing NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, a role that seems perfectly suited for some great supervillain-esque scene-chewing. However, the yet-untitled football concussion movie seems to be positioning Goodell as a guy who actually does the right thing, despite that one particularly notable example when he did not. That’s according to The Wrap’s description of Goodell’s character arc, which it says focuses on how he “eventually recognizes the connection [between football and concussions] and donates huge amounts of money to scientific research.”
As we previously reported, Will Smith is set to star as Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic neuropathologist who first realized that maybe all of these football players getting smashed in the head were injuring their brains. Ridley Scott is producing the film (which we’re just ...

Today's Werner Herzog News (feat. Penguins)
by Erik Henriksen
firehose"What can we learn from all of this? Well, it's pretty clear: Parents, show your children Encounters at the End of the World instead of Penguins of Madagascar; it will better prepare them for life's cold and brutal futility."
Kids love watching crap and parents love showing their kids crap; it's how the idiots of today train the idiots of tomorrow. And this is how we end up with three Madagascar films (and counting), the TV series The Penguins of Madagascar and All Hail King Julien, and the touring shows Madagascar Live!, Madagascar Live! Operation: Vacation, Madagascar Live! Prepare to Party, and, of course—as if we could ever forget—Madagascar Live! It's Circus Time. Also there's a Penguins of Madagascar movie coming out next month, so that's something you will probably be forcibly exposed to at some point if you're ever within a half-mile radius of someone's child.
That said, any commercial enterprise large enough to devour entire worlds will, every once in a while, accidentally consume something (or someone) worthwhile; in this case, that would be one Werner Herzog, who narrates this clip from the Penguins of Madagascar and shows up for a minute, too. Whenever Herzog shows up in this, it almost feels like a real movie!
And now, from Herzog's fantastic Encounters at the End of the World, A STRIKINGLY SIMILAR SCENE:
What can we learn from all of this? Well, it's pretty clear: Parents, show your children Encounters at the End of the World instead of Penguins of Madagascar; it will better prepare them for life's cold and brutal futility.

Apple might fine its sapphire supplier $50 million for every secret it leaks
by Jacob Kastrenakes
firehose"Even the confidentiality agreements are confidential" ... "GTAT is also asking that even its request for secrecy be kept a secret"
It's well known that Apple takes secrecy quite seriously, but we're now learning just how seriously that is: it apparently may fine a partner that reveal its secrets up to $50 million for every slip up. That figure comes from a court document filed by Apple's sapphire glass supplier, GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT), which is currently going through bankruptcy proceedings that are, in part, related to what it calls "oppressive and burdensome" agreements with Apple.
Even the confidentiality agreements are confidential
It appears that several secrecy arrangements are among those agreements. Though the court document doesn't refer to Apple by name, GTAT notes that it may be subject to these heavy fines for violating various confidentiality agreements that it's made with another company — and it's hard to imagine another partner of GTAT's imposing such steep penalties. The Financial Times also reports that the third party is Apple.
This incredible level of confidentiality is making bankruptcy proceedings tough for GTAT. Not only is it requesting that the court allow it to file certain documents in secret — which Reuters reports is "unusual" for a bankruptcy filing — GTAT is also asking that even its request for secrecy be kept a secret. "GTAT recognizes the unusual (and perhaps unprecedented) nature of the request," it writes in a court filing. The company writes that the potential fees have "compelled" it to request this level of confidentiality.
GTAT is also seeking to shut down the Arizona plant it uses to make sapphire glass for Apple. The decision apparently comes as a surprise to even Apple, and it's likely that this will disrupt its ambitious plans for using sapphire.

Convert Your Headphones To Bluetooth Headphones
by Rebecca Houlihan
Turn your headphones into bluetooth headphones with Bluetooth Box. via instructables
I love what my headphones, but a few weeks ago, my friend bought a new bluetooth headset, I intend to switch to bluetooth headphones. But I do not want to throw away the love of my headphones, so I got the idea make a small box, which I can turn my headphones into a Bluetooth headset.
This project shows how to convert all wired headphones or speakers to the headset or bluetooth wireless speakers with the ability to work at least 6 hours on full charge and being able to recharge without any complications.. It is open hardware project: BluetoothBoxBefore we get started we are going to need a little bit of motivation, take a look at these pictures and realize what you will be making.
This project could be complete by anyone, just a little electronic skills, you can make yourself a unique BluetoothBox. It only takes 3 days to complete the design and to share this project to you, and I hope this project can help you a lot.
I love bluetooth, short range hi-tech radio that can transmit all sorts of data. Bluetooth headsets are AWESOME because you can listen to music, game, or call your friends with no cord hanging around. You can connect this box to any bluetooth enabled device such as a tablet, computer, or almost any phone. There is NO DONGLE NECESSARY, and it only costs about 15$.
Here is what you need to make your BlutoothBox:
Tools:
Laser cut machine (Better that you should send the file to a laser shop for laser cutting machine). If you have a 3D printer, it will not have any big problems anymore. You can easily design a case for themselves at your disposal without calculating thickness of acrylic sheets. Unfortunately I do not have a 3D printer, it will come in the future :))

Jay Cutler calls NFL's Microsoft Surface tablets 'knockoff iPads'
by James Dator

Cutler just called the Microsoft Surface on sidelines "knockoff iPads."
— jon greenberg (@jon_greenberg) October 13, 2014
It's safe to say we won't see Jay Cutler in a Microsoft commercial anytime soon. The technology giant is coaching NFL announcers to stop calling their product "iPads" and it appears the Chicago Bears quarterback didn't get the memo.
Either that or he absolutely got the memo. He technically didn't call the Surface an iPad, he said it's a "knockoff iPad," which is about a million times worse. Anecdotally we believe he would be the kid who screams at his parents on Christmas for buying him the wrong tablet and pouts all day long.

Islamic State seeks to justify enslaving Yazidi women and girls in Iraq - Yahoo News
by gguillotte
In an article in its English-language online magazine Dabiq, the group provides what it says is religious justification for the enslavement of defeated "idolators".
The ancient custom of enslavement had fallen out of use because of deviation from true Islam, but was revived when fighters overran Yazidi villages in Iraq's Sinjar region.

Judge blocks disposal of Ebola victim's incinerated belongings in Louisiana - Washington Post

"Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines saying that "Ebola-associated waste that has been appropriately inactivated or incinerated is no longer infectious," Caldwell said in an earlier statement that "there are too many unknowns at this point" for the ashes of Duncan's belongings to cross into his state.
"Even the CDC and our health-care workers seem uncertain as to the effectiveness of purported protocols in dealing with Ebola," Caldwell said. "It is absurd to transport potentially hazardous Ebola waste across state lines."'

Louisiana State Attorney General Buddy Caldwell is seeking a temporary restraining order to block the disposal of incinerated waste from the Dallas Ebola victim's personal items and belongings at a Louisiana landfill.
It has been reported that six truckloads of potential Ebola contaminated material collected from the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan became ill were brought to Port Arthur, Texas, on Friday to be processed at the Veolia Environmental Services incinerator. From there the incinerated material is slated to be transported to a hazardous waste landfill in Louisiana for final disposal.
