□ Andain / "Promises"
>> http://www.facebook.com/andainofficial
The first single off the album, "Promises," is scheduled for release on Black Hole Recordings in June.
their second full-length album would have to wait. Much to their fans' relief, Mavie and Josh decided to reform as a duo, and the resulting full-length record is due for release in Winter 2011.
正しくAndain節！懐かしさを通り越して新しく聴こえるサウンド。繊細なシンセとオルゴールに荒々しいドラムって、2000年初期までのトリップホップ的。今年冬にリリースされるアルバムは、お蔵入りになった1stの焼き直しではなく、2nd扱いになるとのこと。

5-6年ぶりに聴いたけど凄くテンションの上がる曲。合唱とドラムビートがこれほど巧く噛み合ったトラックは今でさえなかなかない。でもこのバージョン、自分の持ってるCDの演奏と微妙に違います。CDに収録されてるのはもっと打ち込みテクノ系のビート。このサンプルは舞台用のもののよう。

http://bit.ly/ruGG8c - Did WWII Bombing Raids Alter The Weather? - Data supports theory that contrails alter ground temps #climate #ISNS
On May 11, 1944, a warm and cloudless spring day, U.S. Army Air Force B-24 Liberators, B-17 Flying fortresses and their fighter escorts lifted off from airfields across southeast England. They climbed, circled, and then formed into one huge formation before heading out to bomb targets in Nazi-occupied Europe.
The bombers and hundreds of fighters flying escort, forming two missions four hours apart, filled the sky with contrails. Researchers from Lancaster University and the Environmental Agency in the U.K. combed through military and meteorological records and determined that the vast cloud cover created by aircraft condensation trails -- or contrails -- slowed the rise of temperatures on the ground that morning.

Social influencing and associated random walk models: Asymptotic consensus times on the complete graph http://ow.ly/5wSxX #AIP_CHAOS
We investigate consensus formation and the asymptotic consensus times in stylized individual- or agent-based models, in which global agreement is achieved through pairwise negotiations with or without a bias.
Considering a class of individual-based models on finite complete graphs, we introduce a coarse-graining approach (lumping microscopic variables into macrostates) to analyze the ordering dynamics in an associated random-walk framework.
□ AIP_Publishing: 現実に構築されるネットワークの低次数ノードの集団力学的影響。
Sample-to-sample fluctuations in real-network ensembles http://ow.ly/5zGe4 #AIP_CHAOS
Network modeling based on ensemble averages tacitly assumes that the networks meant to be modeled are typical in the ensemble. Previous research on network eigenvalues, which govern a range of dynamical phenomena, has shown that this is indeed the case for uncorrelated networks with minimum degree ??3.
Here, we focus on real networks, which generally have both structural correlations and low-degree nodes. We show that: (i) the ensemble distribution of the dynamically most important eigenvalues can be not only broad and far apart from the real eigenvalue but also highly structured, often with a multimodal rather than a bell-shaped form; (ii) these interesting properties are found to be due to low-degree nodes, mainly those with degree ??3, and network communities, which is a common form of structural correlation found in real networks.
In addition to having implications for ensemble-based approaches, this shows that low-degree nodes may have a stronger influence on collective dynamics than previously anticipated from the study of computer-generated networks.

The largest digital camera ever built for a space mission has been painstakingly mosaicked together from 106 separate electronic detectors. The resulting "billion-pixel array" will serve as the super-sensitive 'eye' of ESA's Galaxy-mapping Gaia mission.
While the naked human eye can see several thousand stars on a clear night, Gaia will map a billion stars within our own Milky Way Galaxy and its neighbours over the course of its five-year mission from 2013, charting their brightness and spectral characteristics along with their three-dimensional positions and motions.

An interview with MSF head of mission in South Sudan: "A massive humanitarian emergency." http://bit.ly/o5aJ9v #SouthSudan
In this humanitarian emergency, MSF will continue to provide essential medical aid where the needs are greatest, and where we can be of most relevance and benefit to the population. Improving access to healthcare and improving its emergency response has to be a priority for this new country.
However, the government of South Sudan has allocated just 3.7 percent of its budget to health in 2011, a decrease from 7.9 percent in 2006. It is essential that emergency humanitarian needs are adequately prioritized by the South Sudanese government, by donor governments and by international humanitarian NGOs.
