How to build your family tree on the Web
Researching your family tree seems as easy as conducting a Google search, but there’s actually much more work and fact-checking involved, if you want to do it right.
Ancestry.com is no longer the only option when it comes to searching digital archives, connecting with others and compiling a family tree. A new crop of geneaology sites popping up on the Internet are providing some alternatives. MyHeritage and Archives.com are two useful sites that have great layouts and access to plenty of documents. On these sites you can find census records, scanned birth, marriage and death certificates, family photos and newspaper clippings, and compile these into a beautiful, digital tree.
MyHeritage uses the social web to broden your family tree using living, distant relatives plus census records.(Read More…)

Liquid metal used to create ultra stretchable wires.
A new type of conductive wire uses a gallium and indium liquid metal alloy inside an extremely thin elastic polymer tube to create a wire which can be stretched to up to eight times it’s size without losing electrical conductivity.
The wire could be used for headphone cables or phone chargers, and can be mass produced using current methods. The cable might not yet make it to market though - if the cable is cut the liquid metal leaks out, causing a possible hazard.
Check out a video of the cable being stretched here.

‘Metapaper’ blocks Wi-Fi signals.
French researchers have developed a wallpaper able to block Wi-Fi signals, while still allowing FM radio waves and emergency frequencies to pass through. Known as metapaper, it is able to filter out 99% of all waves coming from the outside.
Possible uses could include creating quiet spaces inside movie theaters or hospitals, or for the ultra paranoid it could be used to stop the neighbors stealing your Wi-Fi or hacking into a wireless home network.
The snowflake patterned wallpaper can be covered with traditional wallpaper. The makers are pushing it as a ‘healthy alternative’, citing studies showing that overexposure to electromagnetic waves could cause adverse health affects.

Apology, Warning and Request From the Jesil’s World Team
Today approximately 4 hours ago our site was compromised or in other words hacked. We could not log in to our systems or servers due to this. Also during that fateful interval of 15 minutes 3 vulgar posts were posted by the hackers. We are really sorry for the inconveniences, anger or hatred caused by that. We deleted those posts as soon as we got access into our accounts but we still do not know who or how many were behind this devious attempt to discredit us. As of today we warn you all to be careful of what you submit at our site and also request you to notify us of any unusual activities at our site. we DO NOT TOLERATE JOKES ANY TRICKS that might cause us to lose the place we have in the hearts of our viewers. We are trying our very best to find out what had happened. We have also notified Tumblr on this misfortunate incident.
As always you are and always will be our first and topmost priority.
The Jesil’s

The Computer That Stores and Processes Information At the Same Time
The human brain is an extraordinary computing machine. Nobody understands exactly how it works its magic but part of the trick is the ability to store and process information at the same time.
That’s entirely unlike conventional computers which store information in random access memory or on hard disc and shuttle it back and forth as required to a central processing unit.
The time and energy all this takes is the thing that ultimately limits conventional computing performance, the so-called von Neumann bottleneck. Essentially, it is this that prevents conventional computers from approaching the performance of biological ones.

Nielsen’s new Connected Devices study is out:
- Social Media — 44% of 18-24 year olds and close to 50% of 25-34 year olds are visiting social networking sites on their smartphones during both commercials and programs while watching TV.
- Seeking Information — 36% of people 35-54 and 44% of people 55-64 use their tablets to dive deeper into the TV program they are currently watching.
So the older folks are relying on search to make their experience of TV richer, while the youths are relying on each other.
