SnapIt

SnapIt.

The screen capture software SnapIt captures anything you see on your PC screen. It is a convenient tool for graphic designers, bloggers who capture and crop images for their posts, for tech writers who need to describe menus and interfaces of applications, web designers and those who work with graphics every day. It captures and auto saves images with one click.

Researchers 'recreated' a Stradivarius for the first time by making use of hi-tech tools such as X-Ray images, CT scanning and computer-aided carvin.

Unfortunately, we can't make use of these hi-tech tools. The only tool we have is making screenshots. Cropping these screenshots after being captured with PrtScrn is often a hassle. The handy tool SnapIt is a covenient solution to tackle these problems.

* Supports hotkeys, auto-saving, clipboard
* Automatically copies screenshots to the clipboard
* Tracks capture history, auto-saves captured images
* Saves files in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF formats

* Auto-names captured images

SnapIt, a convenient tool for us bloggers

Spider Silk and Music.

Comparing the structure-function relationships in spider silk and a musical composition. Ontology Logs (ologs) connects spider silk and music.

MIT researchers claim that there is a deep relation between the lightweight strength in spider silk and the sonic structure of a melody in a music composition. This may be beneficial for the development of materials with repeating patterns. Spider silk has a repeating structure at nano level. The step-by-step comparison begins with the primary building blocks: an amino acid and a sound wave, and moves up to the level of a beta sheet nanocomposite (the secondary structure of a protein consists of repeated hierarchical patterns of protein assemblages) and a musical riff (a repeated pattern of notes or chords).

PLoS ONE: Protein 3D Structure Computed from Evolutionary Sequence Variation

Here is another interesting example (olog) of structure-function relationships: the prediction of the protein 3D structure from the aminoacid sequence (including a GPCR membrane protein). The blinded inferences are de novo, i.e., they do not use homology modeling or sequence-similar fragments from known structures. The co-evolution signals provide sufficient information to determine accurate 3D protein structure to 2.7–4.8 Å Cα-RMSD error relative to the observed structure, over at least two-thirds of the protein (method called EVfold, details at http://EVfold.org/). This discovery provides insight into essential interactions constraining protein evolution and will facilitate a comprehensive survey of the universe of protein structures, new strategies in protein and drug design, and the identification of functional genetic variants in normal and disease genomes.

Zoiets?

Zullen we bivakkeren in een heus Schots kasteel, een huis in de Highlands, een Hobbithuis of zullen we op de plaatselijke pub zijn aangewezen?

Hobbit Home.

Awesome!

Extraordinary Off-Grid Hobbit Home only cost £3,000 to build.

Simon Dale's Hobbit House

Simon Dale proves that you don't have to be an architect to design and build a beautiful, cozy, low-energy home. With a few simple tools you can construct an extraordinary hobbit home that has virtually no visual or environmental impact on the surrounding landscape. Using locally-sourced and natural materials taken from the nearby woodlands, a common practice among designers in Wales, alternative energy sources, and a lot of imagination, the self-styled builder has created a gentle, naturally-lit family home that exists in total harmony with nature.
