Utawarerumono DVD 2

More villages join the growing rebellion led by Hakuoro as the Emperor uses first Benawi and Kurou, and later Nuwangi, to attempt to enforce his corrupt rule. Eventually Hakuoro's army must confront the Emperor himself, and his tactics, leadership, and fighting ability play key roles in winning the day. Victory brings Hakuoro the title of the new Emperor, while his calm, compassionate, and efficient leadership earn him unexpected new allies, including a former foe, a winged princess as a mediator and representative of a religious order, and a monstrously strong ex-gladiator. Victory also brings a host of new problems, such as rival empires who wish to absorb the new state of Tuskuru and the daily grind of administration. When the empire of Shikeripechim seeks to use force to demonstrate their dominance over Tuskuru, Hakuoro finds himself

#43: Next-Level Quantum Spookiness

Using two villages on opposite sides of Gen­eva as their lab, Swiss physicists have taken one of the strangest phenomena of quantum mechanics to a new level. From Geneva they sent a pair of photons along fiber-optic cables [pdf], one to each village. When they measured one photon upon its arrival, the other changed instantaneously —though it was 11 miles away. This weird linkage, called quantum entanglement, raises exotic possibilities like teleportation. When two particles are entangled, the measurement of one immediately affects the other, no matter how distant. It’s so counter­intuitive that Albert Einstein dismissed it as “spooky action at a distance.� Such entanglement had been observed before, but never over such a great distance.

Scientists Hack Cellphone To Detect Diseases

Dave Bullock (eecue) plugs his piece up at Wired on a cellphone modded into a portable blood tester. This could become a significant piece of medical technology. "A new MacGyver-esque cellphone hack could bring cheap, on-the-spot disease detection to even the most remote villages on the planet. Using only an LED, plastic light filter, and some wires, scientists at UCLA have modded a cellphone into a portable blood tester capable of detecting HIV, malaria, and other illnesses. Blood tests today require either refrigerator-sized machines that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or a trained technician who manually identifies and counts cells under a microscope. These systems are slow, expensive and require dedicated labs to function. And soon they could be a thing of the past.
