5/8/2008 Kosmische Crashs: «Hubble» fotografiert kollidierende GalaxienDonnerstag, 24 April 2008 Kosmische Crashs: «Hubble» fotografiert kollidierende GalaxienZusammenstöße von Galaxien waren früher viel häufiger als heute. Während in unserer kosmischen Nachbarschaft nur noch eine von einer Million Galaxien mit einer anderen kollidiert, waren galaktische Kollisionen eine entscheidende Antriebskraft in der Evolution des frühen Universums.
© NASA Denn die Welteninseln standen sich damals wegen der Ausdehnung des Weltalls noch viel näher als heute. Das europäische «Hubble»-Zentrum hat jetzt zum 18. Jahrestag des Starts des Weltraumteleskops einen spektakulären Foto-Atlas kollidierender Galaxien veröffentlicht. Die 59 Bilder illustrieren die Vielfalt der Formen und Strukturen, die durch die kosmischen Crashs entstehen, wie das Zentrum am Donnerstag in Garching bei München berichtete. Galaktische Kollisionen führen in der Regel zum Verschmelzen der beteiligten Partner. Tatsächliche Zusammenstöße von Sternen sind dabei außerordentlich selten, weil die Welteninseln trotz ihrer Milliarden Sterne so dünn besiedelt sind, dass sie sich gegenseitig durchqueren können. Ihre gigantische Schwerkraft bindet sie jedoch aneinander, oft verschlingt eine große Galaxie eine kleinere. So verleibt sich auch unsere Milchstraße derzeit die Sagittarius-Zwerggalaxie ein, wie das «Hubble»-Zentrum berichtete. In etwa zwei Milliarden Jahren könnte dann der Milchstraße selbst dieses Schicksal drohen: Sie wird voraussichtlich mit der gigantischen Andromeda-Galaxie verschmelzen, die derzeit mit 500 000 Kilometern pro Stunde auf uns zurast. Einen neuen Namen hat die künftige Heimat unseres Sonnensystems schon: Astronomen nennen sie Milkomeda (aus der englischen Bezeichnung der Milchstraße, Milky Way, und Andromeda). Das Weltraumteleskop war am 24. April 1990 um 14.34 Uhr (MESZ) an Bord des Spaceshuttles «Discovery» gestartet und am 26. April um 21.38 in der Erdumlaufbahn ausgesetzt worden.
5/2/2008 SCARY!!!Botnet 'pandemic' threatens to strangle the netWe're all MyDoomedBy John Leyden → More by this author Published Friday 26th January 2007 12:22 GMT Networks of of compromised PCs are threatening the smooth operation of the internet, the World Economic Forum was told this week. Up to a quarter of online computers are virus-infected components in botnet networks of PCs under the control of hackers, according to net luminary Vint Cerf. Cerf, who co-developed the TCP/IP protocol, compared the spread of botnets to a disease that has reached "pandemic" proportions. Cerf estimated that between 100 million and 150 million of the 600 million PCs on the internet are under the control of hackers, the BBC reports. "Despite all that, the net is still working, which is pretty amazing. It's pretty resilient," he said. Cerf made his comments during a panel discussion on the future of the internet at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week. During the debate, security columnist John Markoff, of the New York Times said one particular botnet attack consumed 15 per cent of Yahoo's search capacity for a brief period. The goal of the attack was to retrieve text snippets that were used in a attempt to disguise junk mail messages in a bid to smuggle spam past filters. Other members of the panel including Michael Dell, founder of Dell computers, and Hamadoun Toure, secretary general of the International Telecommunication Union, agreed there was a pressing need to solve the problem. Improved operating system security and user authentication might help in this, but no "silver bullet" solution emerged during the discussion. Dell suggested greater use of network computers, or as he put it "disposal virtual PCs", might reduce the problem. Toure said greater co-operation between regulators, government, security firms, telecom providers, and end users was needed. Botnets of compromised PCs are used by hackers for purposes such as relaying spam and launching denial of service attacks against targeted websites. In most cases users are blissfully unaware of infection, perhaps only noticing a slight degradation in performance. The problem is well recognised in internet security circles and among ISPs. Intelligence from either the sale of access to botnet resources on the internet or from ISP takedown efforts suggests groups of 50,000 or so compromised PCs or smaller are common, by which reckoning Cerf's figures seem rather high. ®

He was 102.

Novartis, via A.F.P. — Getty Images Dr. Hofmann, date unknown, with a chemical model of LSD. The cause was a heart attack, said Rick Doblin, founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, a California-based group that in 2005 republished Dr. Hofmann’s 1979 book “LSD: My Problem Child.” Dr. Hofmann first synthesized the compound lysergic acid diethylamide in 1938 but did not discover its psychopharmacological effects until five years later, when he accidentally ingested the substance that became known to the 1960s counterculture as acid. He then took LSD hundreds of times, but regarded it as a powerful and potentially dangerous psychotropic drug that demanded respect. More important to him than the pleasures of the psychedelic experience was the drug’s value as a revelatory aid for contemplating and understanding what he saw as humanity’s oneness with nature. That perception, of union, which came to Dr. Hofmann as almost a religious epiphany while still a child, directed much of his personal and professional life. Dr. Hofmann was born in Baden, a spa town in northern Switzerland, on Jan. 11, 1906, the eldest of four children. His father, who had no higher education, was a toolmaker in a local factory, and the family lived in a rented apartment. But Dr. Hofmann spent much of his childhood outdoors. He would wander the hills above the town and play around the ruins of a Hapsburg castle, the Stein. “It was a real paradise up there,” he said in an interview in 2006. “We had no money, but I had a wonderful childhood.” It was during one of his ambles that he had his epiphany. “It happened on a May morning — I have forgotten the year — but I can still point to the exact spot where it occurred, on a forest path on Martinsberg above Baden,” he wrote in “LSD: My Problem Child.” “As I strolled through the freshly greened woods filled with bird song and lit up by the morning sun, all at once everything appeared in an uncommonly clear light. “It shone with the most beautiful radiance, speaking to the heart, as though it wanted to encompass me in its majesty. I was filled with an indescribable sensation of joy, oneness and blissful security.” Though Dr. Hofmann’s father was a Roman Catholic and his mother a Protestant, Dr. Hofmann, from an early age, felt that organized religion missed the point. When he was 7 or 8, he recalled, he spoke to a friend about whether Jesus was divine. “I said that I didn’t believe, but that there must be a God because there is the world and someone made the world,” he said. “I had this very deep connection with nature.” Dr. Hofmann went on to study chemistry at Zurich University because, he said, he wanted to explore the natural world at the level where energy and elements combine to create life. He earned his Ph.D. there in 1929, when he was just 23. He then took a job with Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, attracted by a program there that sought to synthesize pharmacological compounds from medicinally important plants. It was during his work on the ergot fungus, which grows in rye kernels, that he stumbled on LSD, accidentally ingesting a trace of the compound one Friday afternoon in April 1943. Soon he experienced an altered state of consciousness similar to the one he had experienced as a child. On the following Monday, he deliberately swallowed a dose of LSD and rode his bicycle home as the effects of the drug overwhelmed him. That day, April 19, later became memorialized by LSD enthusiasts as “bicycle day.” Dr. Hofmann’s work produced other important drugs, including methergine, used to treat postpartum hemorrhaging, the leading cause of death from childbirth. But it was LSD that shaped both his career and his spiritual quest. “Through my LSD experience and my new picture of reality, I became aware of the wonder of creation, the magnificence of nature and of the animal and plant kingdom,” Dr. Hofmann told the psychiatrist Stanislav Grof during an interview in 1984. “I became very sensitive to what will happen to all this and all of us.” Dr. Hofmann became an impassioned advocate for the environment and argued that LSD, besides being a valuable tool for psychiatry, could be used to awaken a deeper awareness of mankind’s place in nature and help curb society’s ultimately self-destructive degradation of the natural world. But he was also disturbed by the cavalier use of LSD as a drug for entertainment, arguing that it should be treated in the way that primitive societies treat psychoactive sacred plants, which are ingested with care and spiritual intent. After his discovery of LSD’s properties, Dr. Hofmann spent years researching sacred plants. With his friend R. Gordon Wasson, he participated in psychedelic rituals with Mazatec shamans in southern Mexico. He succeeded in synthesizing the active compounds in the Psilocybe mexicana mushroom, which he named psilocybin and psilocin. He also isolated the active compound in morning glory seeds, which the Mazatec also used as an intoxicant, and found that its chemical structure was close to that of LSD. During the psychedelic era, Dr. Hofmann struck up friendships with such outsize personalities as Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg and Aldous Huxley, who, nearing death in 1963, asked his wife for an injection of LSD to help him through the final painful throes of throat cancer. Yet despite his involvement with psychoactive compounds, Dr. Hofmann remained moored in his Swiss chemist identity. He stayed with Sandoz as head of the research department for natural medicines until his retirement in 1971. He wrote more than 100 scientific articles and was the author or co-author of a number of books He and his wife, Anita, who died recently, reared four children in Basel. A son died of alcoholism at 53. Survivors include several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Though Dr. Hofmann called LSD “medicine for the soul,” by 2006 his hallucinogenic days were long behind him, he said in the interview that year. “I know LSD; I don’t need to take it anymore,” he said, adding. “Maybe when I die, like Aldous Huxley.” But he said LSD had not affected his understanding of death. In death, he said, “I go back to where I came from, to where I was before I was born, that’s all.”
Jaaa, der gute Herr Hofmann, der URSPRÜNGLICH ein Medikament suchte, welches Gebärmutterkontraktionen bei hochschwangeren Frauen begünstigen oder im besten Falle auslösen kann, fand eine Substanz, die er mit LSD-25 (da es die 25. Versuchsreihe von mehreren verschiedenen Versuchsanordnungen war...) bezeichnete und durch einen Zu- bzw. Un-Fall etwas von dieser Substanz auf seine Hand träufelte und dann „etwas Komisches“ fühlte bzw. dachte, worauf er am nächsten Tag bei einem Selbstversuch die für ihn kleinste vorstellbare Menge bei der etwas bei einem Menschen wirken kann, nämlich 250mg oral einnahm und somit den ersten Trip durchlebte. Heute weiß man dass diese Dosis bei dieser Substanz bereits 5-FACH(!!!!) überdosiert war und er deswegen wahrscheinlich Angstgefühle während dieses ersten Trips aufbaute. Und für alle die, die jetzt denken, toll das hat der leibe Marko mal grade eben auf Google mit copy+paste Verfahren gesucht den muss ich leider enttäuschen - KÜTT ALLES USS MINGEM KOPP! *grins* Nachzulesen für den geneigten Surfer in seinem Buch "LSD - Mein Sorgenkind" welches ihr HIER [Albert Hofmann - LSD, Mein Sorgenkind.pdf] als PDF downloaden könnt!! (Suchanfrage für den, den´s interessiert lautete folgendermaßen auf Google: filetype:pdf albert hofmann LSD Mein sorgenkind) Für mich persönlich war dieser Mann eine Koryphäe auf seinem Gebiet, der Chemie, da er, neben LSD auch noch bedeutende andere Medikamente während seiner Forschungszeit in Basel bei "SANDOZ" fand. Er hat sich bis zu seinem Tod dafür eingesetzt, LSD zu entmystifizieren und vor allen Dingen den schlechten Gedanken den häufig ältere Herrschaften damit verbinden zu eliminieren. Aber vor allen Dingen für die Nutzung in der Psychotherapie, welches er für sein Land, als der Schweiz, auch schaffte, da wird LSD von verschiedenen Ärzten für die Erforschung der Psycho eines Patienten oder um sich besser in diesen hineinversetzen zu können verabreicht. Ich habe immer noch den Satz meines Vaters im Kopf, als wir 4 Kinder noch klein waren und zuhause (sei es durch etwas im TV oder wegen einer Meldung aus sonstigen Medien) von LSD immer im folgenden Kontext gesprochen wurde:" Jaa, damals da haben die Hippies auch LSD genommen und dachten die könnten fliegen und sind dann von Hochhäusern gesprungen..." *schmunzel* (komisch dass bestimmte anderen Personen so etwas auf LSD nie getan haben, irgendwie schon ´n bisschen *merkwürdig*... ;-))
In diesem Sinne: Mach et joot, Alfred, alter Fahrradstrampler!! Auf dass Du das entdeckte >SCHÖNE< auf einem Trip und das >EINS-SEIN mit dem Universum und Gott< nun an dem Ort hast, wo „DU“ oder dein „ICH“ sich jetzt befindet... Rest in Peace! -Mark0! HEUTE vor Jahren wurde das Internet für die Öffentlichkeit geöffnet! YEEEAH! [Das Internet feiert 15. Geburtstag]Dienstag, 29. April 2008, 17:29 Uhr Seit 1993: WWW für alleDas Internet feiert 15. GeburtstagGerade einmal 15 Jahre ist es her: Am 30. April 1993 wurde das „World Wide Web“ (WWW) zur allgemeinen Nutzung freigegeben. Wie grundlegend das Internet unser Leben ändern würde, hat damals kaum jemand geahnt.
