The world's biggest experimental nuclear fusion reactor in operation was inaugurated in Japan on Friday, a technology in its infancy but billed by some as the answer to humanity's future energy needs.

The reactor, a forerunner for the vast ITER experiment in France, has the potential to hasten the race for cleaner energy.
Would you consider living in a Google city? For some, this may soon become a reality as Google’s sister firm Sidewalk Labs, owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, begins testing the concept of a city built from the “internet up.” The company is described as an “urban innovation” company with its sights set on creating […]

The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of a nondrug alternative reinforcer and feeding conditions on the acquisition of cocaine self-administration. Rats were autoshaped to press a lever that resulted in a 0.2 mg/kg IV cocaine infusion. Responses on the lever were monitored during six consecutive autoshaping sessions that occurred each day. A retractable lever was inserted into the operant chamber on a random time 60 s schedule 10 times per session for six sessions that began each hour. Each day the six autoshaping sessions were followed by a 6-h cocaine self-administration session. During self-administration the lever remained extended, and each response on the lever resulted in a cocaine infusion (0.2 mg/kg). The criterion for acquisition of cocaine-reinforced behavior was met when there were 5 consecutive days during which the mean number of infusions during the 6-h self-administration session was at least 100. This procedure was repeated daily until the criterion was met or 30 days elapsed. The rats were also trained to respond on lick-operated automatic drinking devices that delivered 0.05 ml water or a glucose and saccharin solution (G+S) contingent upon each lick response. Five groups of 12–14 rats were compared. The first four groups constituted a 2 × 2 factorial design whereby either G+S or water was available in the home cage for 3 weeks before autoshaping began and G+S or water was available in the operant chamber during autoshaping. These groups were limited to 20 g food per day and all had free access to water. A fifth group had only water available in the home cage and operant chamber, and they had unlimited access to food but no G+S. The results indicated that access to the G+S solution in the operant chamber substantially delayed autoshaping, and a large percentage of these rats did not meet the autoshaping criterion within 30 days. The data from groups that had G+S in the home cage were very similar to those that had only water in the home cage; thus, a history of access to G+S did not interfere with acquisition of cocaine self-administration. Autoshaping in the group that had free access to food was highly variable, but a high positive correlation was found between the amount of food consumed and the number of days taken to meet the acquisition criterion. When the rats from the group that consumed over 20 g were compared to the rats in another group that were limited to 20 g and had no G+S, it was found that the increased food intake markedly decreased the rate of acquisition of cocaine self-administration. These findings indicate that acquisition of cocaine-reinforced behavior is delayed or prevented in environments enriched with nondrug alternative reinforcers such as food and a preferred liquid.

Lo de hoy no es muy original, pero bastante inquietante y no se si sirve para despertarse tranquilo o para prolongar las pesadillas causadas por los abusos sabatinos Tori Amos, pelirroja, hija de un predicador, superdotada para la música, con 5 años componía, violada después de una actuación, "actriz" en un anuncio de Corn Flakes, autora de una canción titulada Corn Flake Girl, excéntrica, comprometida, Pentaphenica.... vamos rara, rarisima, rarunisima. Hoy nos canta sentada en un piano (como casi siempre), y empieza colocándose en la banqueta de manera extraña, y no parará de contonearse de manera extraña hasta que termine, y de repente en el estribillo (min 2:02´´) lo grave se pone agudo y se parece incluso a Kate Bush. No importa que no se sepa la letra, no importa que no haya mas que un piano, poca luz y la filmación sea "arty", esto es una maravilla...

In early January 2015, a team of MBARI engineers, led by Andy Hamilton, set out to sea to recover an experimental buoy that creates electrical energy from ocean waves. This power buoy had been deployed six miles southwest of Moss Landing Harbor for 131 days, while the engineers tested the system's ability to handle storms.
