My "Thank You Circle Sharers" circle ...
The best way to gain followers who share one's interest is to be included in relevant circles. But how do you get the attention of those who like to share circles?
I've been very negligent in thanking all those of you who have included me in one your shared circles recently. I apologise, because I know that without you guys I wouldn't be where I am now. Here a little thank you to all of you.
This circle contains the last 50 peeps who shared me in one of their circles (I included myself, since a little bit of self-advertising never hurts). Some of these guys have included me in several of their circles and have gained me loads of interesting followers, enriching my G+ experience. These guys are known for their circle sharing and to gain their attention and maybe get included in one of their next circle shares ... more »

Nutrients in a Blender : What will it feel like to get all the nutrients you need in food, but based on the chemistry and biology? : Making homemade "Solyent'; e brainchild of Rob Rhinehart, a Silicon Valley software engineer who got fed up with food and went looking for an alternative.
“Food just seems to pop up, like this obnoxious biological need that I need to get rid of,” he says. Basically, Rhinehart turned to the Food and Drug Administration's recommended daily values for all the different nutrients we need—everything from carbohydrates and protein to things we only need a few micrograms of, like Vitamin K and selenium--and combined them into a drink he named Soylent. Rhinehart also includes a few things that aren't strictly necessary, but which studies have shown to have positive effects, like lycopene and omega-3 fatty acids. Olive oil provides the fat; ... more »

Using science & technology to help those without drinking water
Millions of people lack access to clean drinking water today (more facts here: http://bit.ly/11rz5dC).
We wanted to help, but didn’t want to harm the environment with a process like desalinization or reverse osmosis (more info here: http://bit.ly/14t5kyh). After looking at the options, we settled on atmospheric water generation (see how it works here: http://bit.ly/16Y4H3L). The only byproduct of the process is slightly warmer and cleaner air exiting the machine. And, environmentally friendly alternate energy sources are compatible with our custom-built water generators.
You can see our largest to date generator being built in Gilroy, California here - http://bit.ly/18pgJU6 and the completed generator here - http://bit.ly/11rzjSe and here - http://bit.ly/114Yrm7

In 2007, I partnered with Davis Guggenheim, Jeff Skoll and a talented team of movie-makers to bring the discussion of the climate crisis and how to solve it into the mainstream. Seven years later, the discussion continues and the stakes have never been higher. Every day we continue to see the terrifying power of rising global temperatures—from stronger storms to larger floods, from fierce wildfires to parching droughts, from rising seas to the extinction of species —we must halt the climate crisis.
Join Jeff Skoll and me as we discuss the climate crisis and its solutions—live on Google+ on June 11th at 2PM EST. We want to hear from you. Please submit your thoughts, ideas and experiences to the Science on Google+ Community and we will pick the most insightful responses .
I look forward to hearing from you.

IMPORTANT! : Please note the new rule with immediate effect. Due to a deluge of pictures and movies being posted, we have instituted a one-pic-or-movie link a day rule. Keep your community clean. All pics and movies should have a short paragraph with some explanation or reference or interesting fact about the pic or movie. Any post with just an upload will be deleted.
For example, this post has a pic, courtesy H2G2, Marvin the Paranoid Android is a central character in the series. He is a depressive personality and unintentionally funny. Very much like his creator, Douglas Adams. Quote ""Sorry, did I say something wrong?" said Marvin, dragging himself on regardless. "Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God I'm so depressed. Here's another one of those self-satisfied doors. Life! Don't talk to me... more »

Story of Dog
Evolution shaped genes in humans and dogs that correspond to diet, behavior, and disease, according to a new study.
The bond between dogs and humans is ancient and enduring. Dogs snuggle up to us at night, gambol by our side during daily walks, and flop adoringly at our feet when we crash on our couches. But new research shows that the connection runs deeper than you might think. It is embedded in our genes.
Researchers from the University of Chicago and several international institutions found that several groups of genes in humans and dogs—including those related to diet and digestion, neurological processes, and disease—have been evolving in parallel for thousands of years.
For example, living in crowded conditions with humans may have conferred an advantage on less aggressive dogs, leading to more submissive canines and eve... more »

Space city imagined
How would you imagine a space city?
What are the three things required by a space city.... my three (in no priority are)...
➢ An organo-mechanical interface for recycling waste, water, creating oxygen and photosynthesis.
➢ A method for the city to move around a planet to keep a stable orbit.
➢ Managing an atmosphere in space and avoiding radiation.

How The CIA Tried To Turn A Cat Into A Cyborg Spy
Misadventure though it was, the agency's Operation Acoustic Kitty was a visionary idea 50 years ahead of its time.
n the 1960s, the Central Intelligence Agency recruited an unusual field agent: a cat. In an hour-long procedure, a veterinary surgeon transformed the furry feline into an elite spy, implanting a microphone in her ear canal and a small radio transmitter at the base of her skull, and weaving a thin wire antenna into her long gray-and-white fur. This was Operation Acoustic Kitty, a top-secret plan to turn a cat into a living, walking surveillance machine. The leaders of the project hoped that by training the feline to go sit near foreign officials, they could eavesdrop on private conversations.
The problem was that cats are not especially trainable—they don’t have the same deep-seated desire to ple... more »

Why isn't science fiction used more often to teach science in schools?
Among the many things that can be said about science fiction, there's no question about its tremendous entertainment value and ability to convey difficult concepts in a clear and compelling manner. Which is why a pair of researchers from the University of Valencia are urging educators to get their act together and start using science fiction as a way to engage their students and motivate interest in science and technology.
To get a better sense of science fiction's current place in the classroom, researchers Fanny Petit and Jordi Solbes reviewed over 30 compulsory science and technology textbooks for physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and various technology subjects. They also took a look at teacher books, CD-ROMs, and activity books. Of these resources, only 30% made any kind of reference to a... more »

Hello, G+! I guess, since I'm about to meet a lot of new people, that I should introduce myself to the world, as it were.
I'm Dan, a graphic designer/ sign maker in Chattanooga, TN. I'm mostly known as an R2 builder. My scratch-built droid and I have done over 75 events in the last few years, ranging from movie premiers, Weird Al concerts, Make-A-Wish events, and even weddings!
To give the geek world some keywords on me, I'm into Star Wars, Star Trek (TNG), Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who (Tennant is my Doctor), Walking Dead, Defiance, and the entire gamut of superhero movies. In fact, my youngest son is named Kal-el.
I'm a long-time gamer, but my obsession really seated with Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. Since then, it's been big time Halo, Bioshock, everything from LucasArts, Myst, The Journeyman Project, Portal/ Half-Life. I'm... more »

The 'Carbon bubble'
This could get awkward. We need to stop burning fossil fuels to avoid the risk of dangerous climate change. But limiting the amount we can burn will take a chunk out of the global economy.
A non-binding international agreement is in place to try to limit global warming to 2 °C. If it is to be honoured, we can only burn about a quarter of the planet's existing fossil fuel reserves. A new report from the Carbon Tracker Initiative says this would slash the value of the biggest energy companies by between 40 and 60 per cent, because they have invested billions of dollars in exploring untapped resources.
In effect, investors have created a "carbon bubble" by ploughing money into fossil fuel reserves that should not be exploited. The economic damage could be minimised if any climate agreement was phased in gradually, says ... more »

Brain Cells to Control The Power Plants Of The Future?
Researchers have hooked up living brain cells, grown in a petri dish, to a computer. The computer runs a simulation of a power plant and sends the neurons problems about electricity distribution. Scientists then take the solutions the brain cells come up with as possible equations for controlling the U.S. electrical grid in the future. (Actual solutions for controlling electricity around the U.S. wouldn't use living neurons; they would just use computer code written after scientists studied what the neurons came up with.)
"In a lab, in simulation studies, we have shown that we can intelligently control a power plant with such biologically inspired neural networks," Kumar Venayagamoorthy, one of the project scientists, tells Popular Science. Venayagamoorthy is an engineer at Clemson University in South Carolina.... more »

Cleaned up the circles and only included people actually interested or posting about SF. Have removed a number of profiles and pages with a leaner, more focused laser-like pinpointing on Science Fiction.
Why should you add them? They are awesome - they support the SF initiative and are genuinely interested in Science Fiction.
Reshare and Add for spreading the love

I run a community called Urban Fantasy Fans. This community is not a writing community. It's a place where I go to talk about TV shows or books set in the urban fantasy genre that I have enjoyed. It's a small community, but we have a lot of fun.
Anyway, today, I made a big announcement in that community. On Thursday, April 25th, at 9 PM Eastern, we'll be having a hangout with Jim Butcher. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files series. The hangout will last for about a half hour.
If you have a question that you'd like to ask him regarding his work (not about writing), feel free to leave a comment in the original post (it's linked at the bottom of this message). I'm trying to make it easier to keep track of the questions; so, questions posted here won't be included. You have to leave them on the original post to be considered.

Online petition for protecting rationality
Sanal Edamaruku exposed a 'miracle' at a Catholic Church as a leaky pipe, and now the church and its supporters have filed cases against him all over Mumbai, under sections of the IPC that can get him arrested.

Jurassic Embryos reveal Dinosaur secrets
Long-necked and long-tailed sauropod dinosaurs grew rapidly in the egg and could flex their muscles before they hatched, a study of rare fossilised embryos from China shows.
The finding helps explain why these dinosaur giants grew so big, say an international team of scientists. Roberts says it is rare to find dinosaur embryos, and previous finds have been of little use for tissue and cellular level analysis as the embryos are enclosed in the eggs.
The different-sized embryo bones show a high level of vascularity or are "spongey", says Roberts, suggesting the sauropodomorph embryos grew faster than those of modern birds and other dinosaurs. He says this rapid rate of growth during early development, implies these larger dinosaurs also had a shorter incubation period than their contemporaries. "This capacity for... more »

Game of Thrones on Cello!
Amazing share h/t +Avinash Jaisinghani on the GOT theme song
The theme song of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is considered just as awesome as the show, so it’s no wonder it has generated so many tributes and covers. However, the one above is perhaps the most jaw-dropping you’re likely to hear today this week this month.
Cello rock band Break of Reality has thought it fitting to pay tribute to the amazing opening theme from the show, by Ramin Djawadi, with their own, slightly different version.
“We are big fans of the show and have received many requests for this cover. Happy to have finally recorded it!” the band says in the description of the video posted on YouTube.
