Today is the lunar Eclipse! – Interfax

And if so to stand up for themselves on the moon? Let’s try to imagine: some point we notice that the sky and the Land, which would appear as an extremely thin Crescent, will begin to approach the disk of the Sun. It will be a lot more and at some point begins lazily to close them. Start partial Eclipse of the Sun – a phenomenon well-known to us from the Earth.

Superksiężyc. Why our Moon is a super?

Gradual przysłanianie Shine our star will cause that moon will come less and less sunlight. Its surface will begin to do all the paler.

However, today’s Eclipse is not blinding in any place of the Sun, the Earth’s shadow will pass with the Moon above its North pole, so we can talk about the so-called Eclipse półcieniowym.


what does it look like from Earth?

Eclipse starts OK. 23:34 Moscow time. At the moment, the so-called penumbra of our planet will begin to stick to the shield of the moon – this point cannot be seen with the naked eye, so the observations can be easy to choose approx. an hour later. With each subsequent moment we will be able to observe how the top left quarter of the moon getting darker is it at the time of the maximum (01:43) the closer to home the shadow of the planet, and there will also be the most grim. A few tens of minutes before and after the maximum, we have clearly seen with the naked eye, that part of the moon noticeably darker than the rest.
the Phenomenon will take hours of 3:53 a.m. Saturday.

Wolf moon. “Something made me go ahead.”


How to prepare for the exam? See you phenomenon don’t need telescopes and other optical instruments. The difference in brightness of the surface of the moon is best visible to the naked eye, which is great news for lovers of the night sky niedysponujących surveillance equipment.


do Not forget that the nights are very cold.

Maximum phenomenon will fall in 1:43 in the morning, and at this time in most parts of the country the temperature can reach -10 degrees Celsius.

Clothing “bow”, warm socks and boots, hat usually hides my ears and gloves-this is the basis to be able to comfortably observe all phenomenon.


the Only thing you need to monitor, this is a cloudless sky, although I must admit that with such a bright object like the Moon, a phenomenon which will be noticeable not only in the small breaks between the clouds, but even due to the thin layer. So is the night to be vigilant and not to succumb under light cloud cover.


If the sky is covered with a thick layer of clouds, then you can use the web broadcast. The phenomenon can be fully see, for example, during the transfer of “head in the stars LIVE”.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski about the protests: not large, protesting those who feel insecure – Virtual Russia

- Some “good change” in pain. Protest those who feel in danger, – he said in a radio Unit Jaroslaw Kaczynski. The Chairman of the PiS won, so the protests against education reforms, or the so-called law of Metropolitan in respect of Warsaw. He noted that in the case of education reform”, to anybody, nothing bad will happen”, and in the case of judicial reform is the question of “elimination of disease”. – The Polish judicial system is one big scandal and it is necessary to do away with him, – he stressed. He also added that Hannah Gronkiewicz-waltz is not a victim of political activities, for which some would like to consider it. He explained that he does not fe el tempted to bring before the previous parliamentary elections.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the question was in the “Signals of the day”, in particular, about the protests against some of the government’s plans. – Good shift of some hurts. But not for everyone. It’s not large protests. It’s a protest of those who feel threatened. Or wrongly – as in the case of education reform, or, to be fair, if we are talking about local authorities or the judiciary. Because there we will eliminate the pathology, are very common, he said. The Chairman of the PiS stressed that “the people here have reason for concern.” – There is a belief those who do not have substantial arguments, then we say that the tactics wrong. If we want to rebuild the country, and this change is really very deep, is a final refusal that follows from the previous system, and pathologies that have emerged after 1989, he said.

the Chairman of PiS also said that the project of reform through his party, was presented during the election campaign, so you can’t blame the government that is doing something too quickly. It was also said that you could not assume that vs changes, at least in the education reform, the majority of parents.

the controversial bill of the Metropolitan

Commenting on the protests regarding the plans for the establishment of the metropolis of Warsaw reminded that this is not a new idea, a project, and AFTER many years ago. Those who once suggested the metropolis today, the most resist – appreciated. As he added, “there is a city in Silesia, and nobody has anything against it”. – The opposition in the question of the metropolis show that someone’s political interests are threatened, he said. He added that this issue will still be public hearing and it will be discussed. – Preparing the legislation, there will be proposals about how this can be determined – public consultations organised by public consultation. But I repeat: people who themselves proposed the loudest scream. Or their business is under threat, or use the method of total opposition, he said. He acknowledged, however, that “Manneken Pis” wants to make changes before the local elections in 2018. He stressed that “n othing indicates that the citizens of Warsaw against the decision”.

Who is the President of Warsaw? “Gronkiewicz-waltz is not a political victim”

Kaczynski and the question of who will be a candidate ” for President of Warsaw, reacted to the speculation about Jack’s Sasina, who “firmuje” the project of creation of the metropolis of Warsaw. – Not at the moment no decision about whether Mr. Deputy Jacek Sasin will be President. If someone assigns you a Congressman such intentions, what he wants to do something for yourself, it is in error. While there are no solutions, we will not compete with a Platform that apparently in July will announce its candidate, but let’s not linger, – said the Chairman of the IPR.

when Asked in turn about why Civic platform, the weapons, the President of Warsaw Hanna, Gronkiewicz-waltz, despite the charges against her, said: – There is a saying: “Catch you by the hand, tell me that’s not your hand”. So what am I doing now you Shetina (…) Some people think that anyone who got even the most obvious crimes, is a victim of political. Of course, Hannah, Gronkiewicz waltz and individuals in respect of which treatments are not any political victims. If the courts this orzekną, there will be criminals – appreciated.

the Early elections will not

Kaczynski, when asked that “does not feel the temptations of early elections,” he said, because “early elections can take place when there is to that some very compelling reasons”. Is the institution of emergency, which in any case should not be abused. Today, these prerequisites (to bring to early elections – approx. ed.) I do not see, – he said. Something that we have really good support, that doesn’t mean we want to abandon the normal cycle of democratic, he was in Poland four years, we want to keep it, – said Kaczynski.

Kaczynski on the judicial system: the scandal, the rot

were also plans to reform the judicial system, which PiS promotes the slogan of struggle against disease. – The Polish judicial system is one big scandal and should put an end to it – appreciated. Polish public life was (mainly) through the “hybrid” after the part democratic and part originating from communism. This system is one big rot, and this rot needs to be treated, he added.

Government stable

Head of Law and Justice, when asked, were also an overview of the resorts that made the Prime Minister Beata Shiloh and watching the government sees a “weak link”.

Is a company Prime Minister. I not specifically looking at. I think it’s primarily a character mobilizacyjny, trying to motivate the Ministers for strong action. At the moment the government is fixed, and unless there is some event, which at the moment I can’t see, I currently see no reason for changes in the government – said Jaroslaw Kaczynski.

Program for Windows 10 has a new feature, which is still their weakness. Thus we already know why it is still a form of multitasking, we will disappear from the Xbox One.

Some time ago I informed you about the removal of Windows 10 Creators Update mode of multitasking to the Xbox One, or rather, with the ability to display two apps on the screen of the TV. Microsoft explained that this is because in order to have the ability to enter “the best things”.

it is Assumed that excessive release of resources for games and compressing them available to the operating system and applications calling the decision, but, fortunately, I was wrong. Pin apps to the console disappeared, that could be a new feature for the entire platform Universal Windows Platform for all devices and accompanying API for applications. The function is obvious, but where developers and users is not enough to this day.

Google and H&M uszyją personalized clothes. On the basis of what you are doing – Interfax

the tech Giant just struck up a collaboration with the giant clothes – the Swedish company H&M. Together will create clothing. But it’s not like engineers from Silicon Valley suddenly felt the need to become Giorgio Armanim. They will work on what you understand best – that is, on data.

Company dropped the idea of on the basis of information about the users to design them a personalized clothes. Where information? From smartphones with Google’s Android operating system. The company has gathered data, in particular determining the location of the user, held, routes, action, who’s performing, where to eat, or the weather in the place where it is located.

Personalized clothing for $ 99

All these data are processed by a special algorithm, introduced by Google a few months ago. After removing the application on the General profile, the mood of the user and the circumstances in which it is located, the algorithm determines the shape, form, color, and details of the costume. Previously, the user will indicate that it is interested in clothes at the official meetings, parties or for work. And then the application of this creation will develop.

Theoretically, the potential is vast because Android uses the 1.4 billion people in the world. But really with the service will use only those who sign up for this special application. Now it is beta testing, not yet available to users. But should be this year. Brand Ivyrevel, owned by H&M announced that the tailored suit created using this app will cost a minimum of $ 99. Data will be collected during the week, and the clothes will be physically ready in a month.

ESA-floresy in 3D project

niejedyny Is a project in which Google combines artificial intelligence with fashion. From September on similar principles, working with the German e-shop Zalando modowym. This is one of the biggest players in the e-commerce market in Europe. In the project “Muze” user is still actively creates its own dress code. In a special Supplement, he can answer dozens of questions regarding his style, attitudes, preferences or moods. Ba – can draw anything, even curls-floresy, and artificial intelligence and this will take into account when designing a personal outfit. Logistics, it can be without end. One of the questions sounds like this: “What makes you happy?” and there is a choice of ten answers, in particular, parties, sleep, food, singing, work.

Created by Zalando and Google, the neural network uses all of this information and based on them, it reads the preferences in the fashion industry, developed by 600 experts of fashion. The combination of these data with information from Google search engine for a few seconds the user sees in the application ” virtual 3D-project. But now it’s only app. Zalando is not decided yet in sewing designed things and selling them.

to Know what they really want every customer

the Production of goods based on databases that increasingly, the trend not only in fashion. – Avoiding algorithms at the same initial assumptions, for example, the rules in force on the market a few years ago. Importantly, these algorithms have the ability to “learn” the market, not only in General, but from the point of view of individual users. The more hope, so they become more accurate, says Alexander Fafuła, the Manager of the team data analysis by PwC.

Whether this is the future also the industry modową? – In the moment machines acquired the knowledge about how we behave, what we are looking for and how we buy. But the human level of customization is not yet available for the software: machines can’t do this on their own. All data and computers in the world still are not able to learn and understand how to choose the style that makes each of us say, “I Love!” says Eric Bowman, Vice President of engineering at Zalando.

According to a recent PwC report “Connected living” by 2020 the number of devices connected to the Internet, will be seven times more than the number of the population. Considering how much information about its owner, his smartphone is a completely unimaginable amount of data. In the region of Central and Eastern Europe to 61 per cent. of governors considers the understanding and use of technology as one of the key problems for business. They recognize that the time to make decisions based on data, not intuition.

Leaked European prices processors Ryzen – FrazPC.pl

In recent years, a day without new information processors Ryzen seems to be a lost day, and the latest leak is so interesting that one of the Spanish technological portals claims that he learned the European prices for the upcoming models AMD. I must admit that if these numbers are confirmed, then we can get really very attractive ratio of price and performance.

Revealed the prices apply to the top three models in the family Ryzen, 1800X R7, R7 and R7 1700X 1700, i.e. processors that offer 8 cores and 16 threads. From previous reports, these will CPU with a clock frequency of the base timer at 4 GHz for 1800X, 1700X to 3.8 GHz and 3.7 GHz for 1700. Full European price (including tax) to be there 599,99 EUROS for a model 1800X, 469,99 EUROS per 1700X and only 389,95 EURO 1700. As usual, we can expect that the us prices will be even lower, probably by processor 1700 in the United States will need to pay $ 349 (it should be noted that the TDP of this PROCESSOR, be is 65W).

you Must also keep in mind that all of AMD Ryzen be have unlocked multipliers and in this context we can assume that the R7 1700 can be a really interesting choice. It is, however, to remember that “red” have in stock 6-core system, which should be even cheaper.

RMF 24: Mars had too little CO2 – Interia

Scientists working on Mars have a problem. Analysis of recent research results, delivered during the Rover “Curiosity” indicates that 3.5 billion years ago, the primitive atmosphere of the red Planet. too little carbon dioxide. The message, published in the journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)” cast doubt on existing theories of how Mars would have water in a liquid state.

Curiosity Rover explores the surface of Mars 2012

Scientists actually agree to the opinion that in the distant past on the surface of Mars had to swim the river that was there and the lake. The problem is that then the Sun shines intensively enough, on the surface of the red Planet could exist, respectively a high temperature. So I formed a theory, with a dense, CO2-rich atmosphere, due to the effect cieplarnianemu can keep the surface of the planet when the temperature is above zero.

This theory is now under question. Study the same rocks in which the probe Curiosity found when the settlement, which was to testify to the existence there of an ancient lake, now revealed that carbon dioxide there was too little. The Mars Rover found traces of carbonate, which in an atmosphere rich in CO2 should appear.

“the Lack of carbonate in the sample studied for Curiosity rocks sit down, surprised us,” says first author Thomas Bristow from Ames Research Center in Moffett field. “The presence of liquid water on the Martian surface would be unlikely, even if carbon dioxide was in the atmosphere a hundred times more than now seems possible.”

the Rover Curiosity using tool of CheMin for the chemical and mineralogical studies, have investigated numerous samples of rocks from the bottom of this hypothetical lake. The instrument allows him to detect even kilkuprocentową content of carbonate. None of the sample appeared. On this basis, the authors put the thesis of a maximum CO2 content.

In water carbon dioxide forms carbonates, associated with positively charged ions of magnesium and iron. Studies of other species of the lake bottom show that the ions were available, and the environment was never sufficiently acidic that carbonates could dissolve. If traces of the solution no, this must mean that carbon dioxide wasn’t enough.

the Rocks of the study area, held Curiosity

“This contradiction can be explained in two ways. Or we have not managed yet to develop climate models quite well describe the environment of Mars at the beginning of its existence, or actually deposits in the center of Gale crater was formed at low temperature,” says Alberto Fairén of the Centre for Astrobiology in Madrid. “The second possibility seems more likely”. According to him, in the area of Gale crater could remind the present Greenland and the frozen lake and the surrounding masses of ice.

the Search for carbonate on the surface of Mars was held for over two decades with spekrometrów installed on circling around the red Planet probes. These studies have not yielded the expected results. “The fact that was not observed solution of the orbit was a mystery to us,” says Bristow. “We tried to explain that maybe the carbonates, but not in the place where they are looking for, or sprinkled with dust. Research Curiosity made it possible to find them in the rocks that we know of that was created from underwater deposits”.

“the Findings from this analysis in terms of relevance of many theoretical studies, which indicated that the surface of Mars even really been warm enough that water could exist in liquid form,” adds co-author Robert Haberle from Ames Research Center in Moffett field. “There are opinions that, maybe, the lake was an open water reservoir that was covered with ice,” adds Haberle. “If the ice is not too thick, some sediment on the bottom can still occur”. This theory, too, however, has weaknesses. Curiosity Rover did not find in the center of Gale crater are typical of cracks and deposits, which was supposed to appear in the contact zone of the ice to the shore. The riddle remains unexplained.

NASA: “We are amazed”. That found on Mars Curiosity Rover refutes previous assumptions – Focus

once the Sun was given about a third less heat than at present. Climate models usually take that on Mars there were conditions for the emergence on the surface of liquid water (not frozen), the planet must have, respectively, a dense atmosphere consisting of carbon dioxide, where the greenhouse effect.

a Recent study conducted by the American planetary Rover, Curiosity deny this assumption. I suppose that 3.5 billion years ago Mars had too little carbon dioxide, the greenhouse effect could melt the ice.

Problems provided the same rock where the Rover earlier found deposits of the ancient lake that may have existed on Mars billions of years ago. Further investigation gave a paradoxical result: the lack of climatic conditions, allowing the establishment of such a lake. In the studied samples with a rock Foundation, is not detected for a sufficient amount of the minerals of carbonates.

“We are surprised by the lack of carbonate minerals in the rock deposition, which was examined by the Rover. Indeed, it would be hard to watery water on ancient Mars – even if carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be hundreds of times more than suggest that the samples of the studied rocks,” said Thomas Bristow from NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett field, California.

Since landing in Gale crater in 2011 the Rover Curiosity found no solution in any rock sample, which are considered to be coming from the bottom of the former lake. The CheMin instrument is able to detect solution, if you are within a few percent content of rock. A recent study conducted by a team of 14 scientists, led by Bristow, allowed to calculate the upper limit of the amount of carbon dioxide, if it is performed in the former Martian atmosphere. The result gives a few tens of millibars of carbon dioxide. Millibar is one thousandth of atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. For comparison, in the current atmosphere of Mars is dominated by the pressure below 10 mbar and 95%. it consists of carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide reacts in water with positively charged ions of magnesium and iron, forming carbonate minerals. Other minerals present in the studied rocks indicate that these ions actually present. In addition, minerals such as magnetyty and clay minerals are evidence that the conditions never become so acidic that carbonates were dissolved (which would be possible in too acidic groundwaters).

“long is a mystery why the orbit of Mars is not visible, too much carbonate. Still, you can explain that they are not visible as they are covered with dust, under the surface or are we just not looking in the right place. The results from Curiosity directly on the surface of the planet give a new impetus to ago marsjańskiemu paradoksowi. The first time we were looking for a solution in the course of research on the surface of the rocks, which we know they osadowymi stones from the bottom of the former lake,” says Bristow.

Scientists are trying to find an explanation for the paradox of emergence long ago, the lake and the lack of conditions for its formation. Perhaps the lake was not an open reservoir of liquid water, only it was covered with ice. If the ice is not too thick, can still occur deposits on the bottom of the lake. Unfortunately, the Rover Curiosity has not yet found evidence in Gale crater to exist there once the frozen lake. Mystery requires further research, current and planned Martian mission.

the Results of a study conducted by a team of Bristowa was published in the scientific journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Science”.

11 million TV sets szpiegowało their owners – Interia

the Federal trade Commission fined the company Vizio for spying their users.

Television can be as dangerous as computers or smartphones

still, in the subject of privacy threats, focusing on development mostly on computers and smartphones, as they seemed the biggest threat. Meanwhile, as revealed by the Federal trade Commission (FTC), threat can be a TV.

the latest information suggests that the American company Vizio used about 11 million units to track the actions of users who used its products. The operating system of the receivers was to capture the image on the screen, compare it against previously obtained information about the persons using them. It is important to note that all the data is then sold to advertisers who could based on them to better customize advertising.

the practice Itself is not something new to modern marketing, and there would be nothing wrong in it, however if you previously gave her consent. Company Vizio didn’t ask for, and in this regard, the FTC has imposed on the manufacturer a fine of $ 2.2 million and was forced to remove all illegally collected data.

the Case is so ominous, it is not known whether these practices were not so far discovered, and which other devices are not involved. One thing, however, undoubtedly, in the era of the Internet of things, privacy is almost non-existent.

interestingly, and as it usually happens in the case of Apple, sales of more than the share of devices on the market. He fourth quarter of 2016, brought in 2.6 billion dollars in revenue, accounting for nearly 80% of the revenues of the entire industry smartwatchy.

throughout 2016, Apple sold 11.9 million units Apple Watchy. It turns out that Tim cook, recently presented the financial results of the company, not tied down facts, claiming that the tip of the year was very welcoming to smartzegarków Apple.

Apple has 80 percent. market smartwatchy. And this is not good news Gazeta.pl

Well, Apple is reluctant to share this information. There is no problem praising the sales of smartphones and computers, and even shows a decline in ipad sales, the question hours, the company is gaining in the mouth water.

Apple selling smartwatchy decided to count the research company Canalys. According to its report, Apple may sell about 6 million watches in the last quarter of 2016 and earn more or less $ 2.6 billion (revenues). Would it also be an increase of 12 percent. year-on-year, which would confirm the words of Tim cook on the record.

And if Apple again managed to lure customers in the festive period for purchase of hours, but history teaches us that the company will likely not expect that the next 3 quarters will be as good.

just look at the data from last year. in 3 quarter of 2016, the company managed to sell only 1.1 million units, which is 71% less than the year before. After the premiere of the first generation smartwatcha Apple has won almost 75 percent. market, to in September 2016 to have only 41%. part.

IDC smartwatchsource: www.idc.com

Now, with sales at 6 million units in the last quarter of 2016 Apple acquired, according to Canalys, 80%. participation in the market. And there are things to rejoice.

No, because it only shows how weak this market is. This means that in the 4th quarter of last year the market has got a total of 9 million shares smartwatchy. Throughout the past year, the company has provided for the stores around 24.5 million of these devices. This means that practically in 2016, has sold as many devices in 2015.

Market growth smartwatchyStatista

If we compare this to how the growing tablet market after the release of the ipad in 2010, it shows how difficult it comes to companies selling “smart” hours. Only in 2010 were sold globally approx. 19 million tablets a year later, the score was 76 million, and 2 years later 145 million. In the first year, so this segment has grown by 400%. after a year at 190%. Meanwhile, the market smartwatchy, after the first 2 major increases (starting in 2013) is almost stopped.

2017 may be the key to this industry. This year he joined the new devices with Android Wear 2.0 from Google, Fitbit, after the acquisition of Pebble will try their hand with the watch. Samsung is still trying to sell their products, was recently premiered Galaxy Gear S3 (see our review), their devices promise just the players. Market elbows the person you are talking to Garmin that in the 3rd quarter of 2016 was 20 percent. part. However, until now the number of available devices shows that the demand for this technology, to put it mildly, weak.

Apple has already demonstrated that it is unable to push this segment forward, as it was with tablets. On the horizon is not visible, however, another company, which could have something to change.

The new idea of Tesco moving to Poland. Buy off the shelf directly to the grid Gazeta.pl

Tesco is not afraid of technical innovations. After the online store, the self-checkout and electronic price labels, the British network has launched a support program Scan&Shop. This decision, which has to accelerate the purchasing process and furthermore to increase their comfort.

Buying for with the help of this service, we should not do goods from the truck to the ribbon at the checkout. And besides, while shopping all the time, we know how much we have does not pay for it.

How it works? A mobile scanner or in hands

Upon entering the room at the Krakow Tesco store on the street Kapelanki there was a large shelf with the special scanners for the customers. If we want to make a purchase using the ” Scan&Shop, we have to take one of them to the store. They are not so easy to take out of the socket, which accumulates. First on a small screen, we must agree with the rules, and then lights us plug with the scanner that we take on the purchase.

Scanner to scan the barcodes of products that we pack in the stroller… attention! You need to hide them in bags in the stroller. Then at the checkout it is not necessary to lay out to tape.

After scanning the device shows us how the name and value of the goods we want to buy, and one-touch icons strollers on his screen, to see the full list of purchases along with information about the total purchase price.

Vegetables or fruits to buy as well as before, at Tesco. That is, we use scales that print bar codes – scan. In the case of bread scan additional codes at the shelves.

it is nice That the scanner also tells us about the promotions associated with the chosen product. If there are any.

In the end we’re going with a stroller in a special box with the box office samoobsługowymi. They take up a scanner at the checkout, and we use it for sczytania from the screen of our scanner information about purchases. We pay.

Sometimes in addition, you can get a service that will test whether what we pay is consistent with what we put in the bags – then the discharge may be necessary. Store personnel can also intervene when a young person tries to buy thus, for example, beer.

To support solution Tesco has recruited more staff – an average of 8 people in each of the hypermarkets with the Scan&Shop.
