Stephen Hawking History... and Best Book he worte...

Stephen William Hawking(72) born 8 January 1942(British theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author).

Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009.

He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.

his A Brief History of Time stayed on the British Sunday Times best-sellers list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.

He is almost entirely paralysed and communicates through a speech generating device. He married twice and has three children.

Hawking went up to Oxford in October 1959, at the age of 17. For the first 18 months he was bored and lonely.

"It was only necessary for him to know that something could be done, and he could do it without looking to see how other people did it. A change occurred during his second and third year when, according to Berman.

Hawking has estimated that he had studied for only approximately 1000 hours during his three years at Oxford.

As he slowly lost the ability to use his hands to write, he developed visual methods of working to compensate, including seeing equations in terms of geometry.

ane Hawking later noted that "Some people would call it determination, some obstinacy. I've called it both at one time or another. He required much persuasion to accept the use of a wheelchair at the end of the 1960s.

A daughter, Lucy, was born in 1970, and soon after Hawking discovered what became known as the second law of black hole dynamics.

The event horizon of a black hole can never get smaller. With James M. Bardeen and Brandon Carter, he proposed the four laws of black hole mechanics, drawing an analogy with thermodynamics.

Hawking produced in on his speech generating device was a request for his assistant to help him finish writing A Brief History of Time.

Peter Guzzardi, his editor at Bantam, pushed him to explain his ideas clearly in non-technical language, a process that required multiple revisions from an increasingly irritated Hawking. The book was published in April 1988 in the US and in June in the UK, and proved to be extraordinary success, rising quickly to the top of bestseller lists in both countries and remaining there for weeks and months.The book was translated into multiple languages.

Hawking was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (at the age of 21 in 1963) related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, a condition that has progressed over the years.

Awards and honours

Hawking has been awarded the Gold Medal (1985) from the British Royal Astronomical Society and Copley (2006) Medals from the Royal Society. He shared the Israeli Wolf Prize in Physics with Roger Penrose in 1988. In 1981 he was awarded the American Franklin Medal, in 1999 the Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize of the American Physical Society,and in 2003 the Michelson-Morley Award of Case Western Reserve University.^[168] He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1982 and a Companion of Honour (CH) in 1989. In 2009 he received America's highest civilian honour, the Presidential Medal of Freedom He has also been awarded Spain's Fonseca Prize (2008). and the Russian Fundamental Physics Prize (2012).

AMD VS INTEL:

Covered by click here:

Using AMD is slow have 5 words per minute. so call intel CTO.

Earlier this month Intel's CTO (chief technical officer) Justin Rattner told Scientific American that he has been heading up a group working on a new interface that would allow Professor Hawking to increase those capabilities up to anywhere between 5 and 10 words per minute.

 The interface will use facial recognition to be able to detect more movements than the voluntary cheek movement that the current interface uses.

The current system uses a camera that can detect Professor Hawking's cheek movements. 

Those movements are then used to click a cursor that is constantly moving over a virtual keyboard on a computer screen attached to the front of Professor Hawking's wheelchair. 

Once an entire sentence is completed a voice amplifier located underneath the wheelchair is activated and speaks that sentence in the computer generated voice.

In 1963 Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with a motor neurone disease that has been slowly robbing him of the use of his body. 

The deterioration hasn't slowed professor Hawking as he went on to teach at Cambridge University, give lecture all over the world, dictate a couple of New York Time's best selling books and even guest star on Star Trek: The Next Generation where he appeared as a hologram playing poker. 

In 2007 Professor Hawking went from just being a hologram visit outer-space to actually going into space and being the first quadriplegic to experience zero-gravity.

Google Gives Free Wi-Fi...!

Google To Add Free Wi-Fi To New York City

BY Our Friend gunasekar08.blogspot.in

The free public service, which is being unveiled today, is said to be the largest contiguous Wi-Fi network in all of the Big Apple.

 

Google today is rolling out free public Wi-Fi in the Chelsea neighborhood in New York City.

When folks enter the Chelsea neighborhood, which spans Gansevoort Street and 19th Street from 8th Avenue to the West Side Highway, including the Chelsea Triangle, 14th Street Park, and Gansevoort Plaza, they'll have free access to a Wi-Fi connection provided by Google. 

The search giant has been making a push in New York City for months to deliver free Wi-Fi to residents. In June, for example, the company announced that Google Offers was sponsoring free Wi-Fi in over 200 hot-spot locations across New York City. Six MTA subway stations also were offered free wireless connections. Google also offers a fiber Internet service in Kansas City, KS.

This time around, Sen. Schumer sees the Wi-Fi rollout as a potential benefit to New York's "Silicon Alley" by aiding the city in attracting technology companies.

Google recently announced that it would be providing free Wi-Fi service to a neighborhood in New York City, Chelsea, where Google headquarters are located. It would feature outdoor service for all of the tourists and residents and indoor coverage for public housing units.

True High Speed

Google Wi-Fi provides about 5 to 10 Megabits per second, which translates into the speed of an average home internet connection. The fiber optic high speed coverage that is expanding to areas can download at speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second. That is 200 times faster than a typical home internet connection.

Low Cost

While Google said it has no further plans other than to contribute to the area where it is headquartered, the mayor Michael Bloomberg and NY Senator Charles Shumer were intrigued by the low cost and said they would like all of New York to have free Wi-Fi. They said it was just a fraction of what Sandy cost the state and they would like to provide free internet service to everyone in the state.

It only cost $115,000 to get the technology installed for the Chelsea Wi-Fi and it carries a $45,000 annual maintenance cost. Google covered two-thirds of the cost and a local public advocacy group, Chelsea Improvement Company, covered the rest.

While New York had Wi-Fi in 20 parks, this was the first widespread public Wi-Fi to be attempted. The challenges of providing internet service in a densely populated area were complicated by the tall buildings and providing clear signals.

Google to Add Free Wi-Fi to New York City

Google has also been providing Wi-Fi in Mountain View, where its main headquarters are located. It has also temporarily provided internet service in New York subway stations, airports, and other locations. Google is able and motivated to tackle the problems that come with building infrastructure because it makes money when people are connected to the internet.

 Reffered by here

 

  26th January 1950 is one of the most important days in Indian history as it was on this day the constitution of India came into force and India became a truly sovereign state. In this day India became a totally republican unit. The country finally realized the dream of Mahatma Gandhi and the numerous freedom fighters who, fought for and sacrificed their lives for the Independence of their country. So, the 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and has been recognized and celebrated as the Republic Day of India, ever since

 To mark the importance of this occasion, every year a grand parade is held in the capital, from the Rajghat, along the Vijaypath. The different regiments of the army, the Navy and the Air force march past in all their finery and official decorations even the horses of the cavalry are attractively caparisoned to suit the occasion. The crème of N.C.C cadets, selected from all over the country consider it an honour to participate in this event, as do the school children from various schools in the capital. They spend many days preparing for the event and no expense is spared to see that every detail is taken care of, from their practice for the drills, the essential props and their uniforms.

   The patriotic fervor of the people on this day brings the whole country together even in her essential diversity. Every part of the country is represented in occasion, which makes the Republic Day the most popular of all the national holidays of India. 

   The parade is followed by a pageant of spectacular displays from the different states of the country. These moving exhibits depict scenes of activities of people in those states and the music and songs of that particular state accompany each display. Each display brings out the diversity and richness of the culture of India and the whole show lends a festive air to the occasion. The parade and the ensuing pageantry is telecast by the National Television and is watched by millions of viewers in every corner of the country.

The Republic Day is celebrated with much enthusiasm all over the country and especially in the capital, New Delhi where the celebrations start with the Presidential to the nation. The beginning of the occasion is always a solemn reminder of the sacrifice of the martyrs who died for the country in the freedom movement and the succeeding wars for the defense of sovereignty of their country. Then, the President comes forward to award the medals of bravery to the people from the armed forces for their exceptional courage in the field and also the civilians, who have distinguished themselves by their different acts of valour in different situations.
