Deep in the heart of the southern Milky Way lies a stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula. It is about 7500 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Carina (The Keel) [1]. This cloud of glowing gas and dust is one of the closest incubators of very massive stars to the Earth and includes several of the brightest and heaviest stars known. One of them, the mysterious and highly unstable star Eta Carinae, was the second brightest star in the entire night sky for several years in the 1840s and is likely to explode as a supernova in the near future, by astronomical standards. The Carina Nebula is a perfect laboratory for astronomers studying the violent births and early lives of stars.

Although this nebula is spectacular in normal visible-light pictures (eso0905 - http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0905/), many of its secrets are hidden behind thick clouds of dust. To penetrate this veil a European team of astronomers, led by Thomas Preibisch (University Observatory, Munich, Germany) has used the power of ESO's Very Large Telescope along with an infrared-sensitive camera called HAWK-I [2].

Hundreds of individual images have been combined to create this picture, which is the most detailed infrared mosaic of the nebula ever taken and one of the most dramatic images ever created by the VLT. It shows not just the brilliant massive stars, but hundreds of thousands of much fainter stars [3] that were previously invisible.

The dazzling star Eta Carinae itself appears at the lower left of the new picture. It is surrounded by clouds of gas that are glowing under the onslaught of fierce ultraviolet radiation. Across the image there are also many compact blobs of dark material that remain opaque even in the infrared. These are the dusty cocoons in which new stars are forming.

Over the last few million years this region of the sky has formed large numbers of stars both individually and in clusters. The bright star cluster close to the centre of the picture is called Trumpler 14. Although this object is seen well in visible light, many more fainter stars can be seen in this infrared view. And towards the left side of the image a small concentration of stars that appear yellow can be seen. This grouping was seen for the first time in this new data from the VLT: these stars cannot be seen in visible light at all. This is just one of many new objects revealed for the first time in this spectacular panorama.

Notes

[1] Carina is the keel of the mythological ship Argo, of Jason and the Argonauts fame.

[2] Dusty regions of space absorb and scatter short wavelength blue light more than the longer wavelength red. This effect also explains why sunsets on Earth are often red, particularly when the atmosphere is dusty. In some dusty parts of the sky, particularly in star formation regions such as the Carina Nebula, this effect is so strong that no visible light gets through at all. Astronomers overcome this problem by observing in infrared light using special cameras such as HAWK-I on ESO's VLT or the VISTA infrared survey telescope.

[3] One of the main goals of the astronomers was to search for stars in this region that were much fainter and less massive than the Sun. The image is also deep enough to allow the detection of young brown dwarfs.

The year 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the European Southern Observatory (ESO). ESO is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world's most productive astronomical observatory. It is supported by 15 countries: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries. ESO also plays a leading role in promoting and organising cooperation in astronomical research. ESO operates three unique world-class observing sites in Chile: La Silla, Paranal and Chajnantor. At Paranal, ESO operates the Very Large Telescope, the world's most advanced visible-light astronomical observatory and two survey telescopes. VISTA works in the infrared and is the world's largest survey telescope and the VLT Survey Telescope is the largest telescope designed to exclusively survey the skies in visible light. ESO is the European partner of a revolutionary astronomical telescope ALMA, the largest astronomical project in existence. ESO is currently planning a 40-metre-class European Extremely Large optical/near-infrared Telescope, the E-ELT, which will become "the world's biggest eye on the sky".

White Galaxy Nexus is official, coming to the UK Feb. 13

Android CentralAndroid Central

Following reports from some online retailers early last month, we now have official confirmation from Samsung that the white Galaxy Nexus is the real deal, and will be going on sale next week in the UK. Sammy promises that the white (GSM) Galaxy Nexus will be making its way to "a range of stores across the country" from next Monday, Feb. 6.

Like last year's white Nexus S, the white Galaxy Nexus switches up the color of the chassis, rather than the bezel surrounding the screen. That means you'll get a classy white finish on the back and sides of the device, while the front is furnished in the same black glass as the original. Internally, it's the same Galaxy Nexus we all know and love.

So far we've heard nothing about any possible North American launch of the white Galaxy Nexus, however our fingers are crossed for the launch of the Sprint LTE version later in the year.

We've got Samsung's press release after the break.

David Garcia Gonzalez ? Entrepreneurial Initiative: Ostrich Company

BUSINESS IDEA AND OPPORTUNITIES

Ostrich Company Ltd.
Ostrich Farming Business specialized in obtaining ostrich meat which is tasty and juicy, low in fat, low in cholesterol and high-iron. Ostrich meat will be commercialized to grocery stores and delicatessen stores and meat as well as eggs will be sold to restaurants and catering services. Ostrich meat will be presented in fillet, burger, sirloin steak, cold meat and pate.

Starting point
The Company will purchase chicks more than three months old (the highest mortality rate is from one day to three months). Although more expensive than purchasing eggs or hatchlings, the purchase of chicks at this age will probably prove more cost effective because the mortality rate is greatly reduced after the age of three months.

Core business

  • Meat for the alimentary industry, supermarkets, grocery and delicatessen stores.
  • Meat and eggs for restaurant industry and caterings.

Parallel business lines

  • Eggshells for home decoration market.
  • Oil for cosmetic industry.
  • Beak and nails (for buttons) at the textile industry.
  • The fine hide is soft and durable, will be sold for the production of high quality leather products (wallets, boots).
  • Big feathers for textile industry.
  • Small feathers features ideal for feather dusters.
  • Eyelashes for rimel brushes.

Opportunities:

  • High productivity, 1 year is the optimal moment for the slaughter.
  • Ostrich? life span (80 years).
  • Ostrich desirable climate conditions is low-humidity and mild temperatures.The climatic characteristics of eastern and southern peninsula are ideal for ostrich farming.
  • Ostrich feeding based on maize, cereals, nuts and alfalfa.
  • Ostrich?s weight is 100 kg, from which 30 kg is usable meat.
  • Quality of meat : low in fat, low-cholesterol, rich in protein and iron. Per 100 grams of meat, the fat content hardly reaches 1.6 grams, even less than in a chicken breast, and cholesterol ranges between 40 and 50 mg.
  • Egg?s weight: 1,5 -2 kg (equivalent to 20 chicken eggs)
  • Average of 60 eggs laid per year and the female ostrich may begin to produce eggs at the age of 2.
  • An ostrich leather reaches 15 feet square.
  • Increasing demand from central Europe (Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland)

PESTEL

POLITICAL
-Potential consumers increase, as European Union increases.

-No barriers for selling abroad.
-No promotion, research and generic marketing by bigger role-players.
-Subsidies have been avoided
-UE protection against external competitors: If an European country want to import ostrich meat from a non-European country, they must sign an agreement between both parties. Once the meat is delivered to that country, it is forbidden to sell the meat to a third country.

ECONOMIC

-Breakup of a South African ostrich monopoly has caused the worldwide price of ostrich products to decrease, and these goods are now beginning to become affordable to the common man
-Reports suggest that global meat consumption will increase by as much as 25% by 2025
-Higher production than pork and beef industry, but the performance is lower due to more animals are required.
-Ostriches live in trios, two females, one male. Each trio needs 1500m2 of terrain.
-The minimum initial investment that requires a farm with a trio of ostriches (one male and two females) is about $ 60,000 and $ 65,000, the return on investment starts from six months of operation.
-The average annual expenditure of breeding of two and half years of age and older is about $ 20,000, both male and female ostriches.
-60 eggs laid per year.
-Life span is 80 years
-At birth, ostriches weight 1kg. After a year they weight 100kg and they are ready for the slaughter.
-30% of the weight is usable for meat (lower than pork or bovine)
-Higher final prices than other classes of meat.
-Ostrich leather is the second most valuable (just after cocodrile?s)
-There is no large scale production in Europe.
-Fixed cost are high due to the need of terrain
-High fuel prices
-Raw materials are wheat, barley and alfalfa which are cheap and easy to find and with low fluctuations of their price
-Economic crisis, difficult to gain the trust of the banks to get funds.
-Vulnerability against extreme climatic conditions can have an effect on availability of products in market
-Low consumption in domestic market: Farms which focused on domestic market failed.
-Belgium, Germany and Switzerland are the main consumers in the EU
-South-Africa shares the 83% of the ostrich production in the world.

SOCIO-CULTURAL

-Increase of health conscious consumers throughout the world, who are worried about the risk of heart attacks, high blood pressure, and heart disease
-Meat products represents 20.8% of total expenditure that Spanish consumers spend in their diet.
-Total meat consumption amounts to about 2.878 million kilos, around 18.642 million euros. (The highest percentage of demand is concentrated in households (79%) while restaurant? consumption accounts for 16.9% )
-The homes of upper and upper middle class have the highest meat consumption while lower-class households have lower consumption.
-In restaurants fresh pork is the most consumed meat (78.5 million kilos) but the biggest expense is associated with beef (664 million euros).
-Studies published by the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs, claim that 86.2% of the Spanish population surveyed has never acquired ostrich food and who have consumed it, considers it as a ?delicatessen?.
-The main reasons to try it are curiosity and the challenge of proving an exotic food generally surprising by its flavor and juiciness of the meat.
-More people ?buy using internet nowadays, which decrease the investment for commercialize products.

TECHNOLOGICAL

-The impact of science and technology in process and product is low: Both process and product are fixed.
-Obsolescence of technology is low.
-High technological levels in abattoirs.
-An incubation building is needed and also a raising building for the first 4 months of life of the baby ostriches.
-Warm and especially low humidity climate is the optimum.
-Lack of skilled workers.

ENVIRONMENTAL

-Ostrich farming is environment friendly, it has the natural capacity of optimising quality in all aspects of agriculture and the environment.
-Worthy candidate for biodiversity, many observers are of the opinion that ostrich farming is a best option for organic agriculture.
-Many places have perfect climate conditions within Spain.

LEGAL
-Documentation needed to set up the farm:

  • Data related to the corporation (corporation name)
  • Project describing the installations and the planning of the activities that are going to be developed.
  • System for the elimination of feces.
  • Veterinarian report: ?Disinfection, Rat pest control, Desinsectation, ?Hygienic program, Data of the veterinarian that will supervise the farm.

-Ostriches are ruled by the same laws as other birds: Real Decreto 1317/1992, Real Decreto 2087/1994, Real Decreto 54/1995.
-No specific legislation.
-28 days before the slaughter, it is forbidden to administer drugs to the ostriches.
-A veterinarian must be hired. He will report monthly the sicknesses and the treatments that have been taken.

SWOT

Strengths

Ostriches consume little amounts of food.
Ostriches are very resilient and they have strong health.
The return on investment starts very early, from six months of operation
Cheaper commercialization through internet.
Minimum environmental impact, good perception.
Opportunity to grow as a learning centre.
Diversity of potential clients and uses (food, textil industry, cosmetic industry?)

Weaknesses
A minimum plot of land, ?infrastructure and investment is required. Starting from scratch.
Mortality of newborn calves is about 30%, which in some cases could reach 50%.
Lack of consumer awareness.
Prices of ostrich meat and the other associated ostrich goods are high.
High investments in marketing and advertisement in order to raise awareness.
The farming operation won?t be able to withstand price decreases or cycles.
Vulnerability against extreme climatic conditions can have an effect on availability of products in market.

Opportunities
Breakup of a South African ostrich monopoly, affordable prices to the common man.
African bird perceived as exotic food.
Healthier than traditional red meats.
Recent food crisis: avian flu and mad cow.
Alliances or Coops to provide the ostrich packers with a consistent supply of meat.
Exports to central Europe.
People willing to buy healthy food
Untapped domestic market.
The generic promotion of ostrich meat. Currently it is almost non?existent.
Growth in meat demand by far outstrips supply.

Threats
Lack of skilled workers.
Small and unstable market.
Lack of wide specific legislation.

Constant pressure from international pressure groups like Compassion for World Farming.

Grocery stores refuse animal products if they don?t adhere to the usual standards of production.

Telling the Common Internet Marketing Lies Apart From Common ...

Internet Marketing is one of the more popular businesses online these days. There are lots of success stories within the IM world that can make you want to do your business online. The super sad part, though, is that Internet Marketing has lies running rampant through it that are really hard to avoid. You?ll have to deal with hundreds of different people lying right to your face because they want you to buy what they are selling. It can be really confusing to figure out what?s what. The more enmeshed you get into this web of lies and liars, the harder things are going to be for you. Keep reading to learn what the most popular Internet Marketing lies are and how you can avoid them.

A very common lie told in Internet Marketing circles is that it is possible to get cheap and good content. Let?s be real; if you want to run an Internet marketing business, you are going to need content. But can you really buy it for really low prices? Super great content and professional writers aren?t cheap.

Your content is really going to suffer in terms of clarity as well as quality if you have it done for very low prices. Here?s the truth: you?ll get what you pay for. If you want to outsource your content writing and creation don?t shy away from paying more; it?s worth it. The most successful Internet marketers have put lots of work into their businesses. It absolutely did not happen for them overnight. But they will still tell you that everybody else, except for you, is making tons of money online without doing any real work. While it is possible to put your Internet marketing business on auto-pilot, it takes work to get there. In offline business, more people see failure than they see success. So what makes the online business market any different? Nothing; the same rules still apply online and that is why it is important to keep your feet on the ground. People who are majorly successful online are the ones who don?t buy into these kinds of lies. Well, we hope you are duly impressed with just this little bit about JCPenney Coupons. When you are feeling a little more comfortable with this information, then you simply must continue your education.

We have always found that the more we learn about something, there are opportunities that become apparent that we did not know about. That particular state will allow you to operate from a greater position in your life. Make no mistake about it ? you have the power to exert far more control over your life than you realize.

Finally, an evident lie that is found in today?s Internet marketing circles is that you only need traffic to succeed. This isn?t true at all! Not all traffic works; targeted traffic is what you need. And even if you get that, it?s not enough. There is this thing called conversion and it is also incredibly important. Conversions are important for the success of your product or service and it is how you get the most from the traffic that you generate. Getting visitors is only one part of your success equation. It is also really important to put work into converting as many people as possible. There are lots of things that can contribute to an IM failure. When you let a scammer sucker you, however, your chances of failure explode. If you want to set up a good and consistent online income that can turn a real profit, you need to look for things that are true. Have a thumbs rule that you would never get involved with anything that looks like a get-rich-scheme. You need to stick to your plan and follow the principles you set forth. Success isn?t really far, only if you look at it from the right angle.

Of course you had little or maybe even no idea of what you would discover when you set about looking for more information about JCPenney Printable Coupons; that is always the case. So if it suits your fancy, or need, then you are at your leisure to delve into it and know all about it.

Do pay close attention as you begin to move from one topical area to another. Going beyond what has been talked about here, you may want to pick something that appeals to you or is relevant. The hierarchies that are inherent in this will prove to be most enlightening.

It is our express desire to see you receive the kind of help you feel is needed, so do continue by all means.

NY's Schneiderman sues banks in foreclosure effort

(AP) ? New York's attorney general on Friday accused some of the nation's largest banks of deceit and fraud in using an electronic mortgage registry that he said puts homeowners at a disadvantage in foreclosures while saving banks over $2 billion.

Democrat Eric Schneiderman sued Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo over their use of the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., or MERS, claiming the banks submitted court documents containing false and misleading information that appeared to provide the authority for foreclosures when there was none.

The lawsuit also names the registry operator, MERSCORP Inc. of Virginia.

Schneiderman claims the MERS system has eliminated homeowners' ability to track property transfers through traditional public records. He said the electronic system now stores that data and is plagued by inaccuracies and what the lawsuit calls "faulty and sloppy document preparation and execution practices."

"The banks created the MERS system as an end-run around the property recording system, to facilitate the rapid securitization and sale of mortgages," Schneiderman said Friday. "Once the mortgages went sour, these same banks brought foreclosure proceedings en masse based on deceptive and fraudulent court submissions, seeking to take homes away from people with little regard for basic legal requirements or the rule of law."

MERS spokeswoman Janis L. Smith promised to fight the lawsuit. She said the company complies with all laws and county and state recording regulations.

"Federal and state courts around the country have repeatedly upheld the MERS business model, and the validity of MERS as legal mortgagee and nominee for lenders," she said.

J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America declined comment. There was no immediate comment from Wells Fargo.

MERS was set up by banks to rapidly package and sell mortgages as securities without recording each transaction in county records offices. Complaints allege among other things that homeowners have trouble responding to foreclosure actions and mortgage inaccuracies because MERS makes it difficult to find out who owns the mortgages.

"By creating this bizarre and complex end-around of the traditional public recording system, banks achieved their primary goal ? over 70 million mortgage loans, including millions of subprime loans, have been registered in the MERS system and the industry has saved more than $2 billion in recording fees," according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also claims that over the several years, "banks rapidly securitized and sold off millions of loans, often misrepresenting the quality and nature of the mortgages being transferred."

Last month, President Barack Obama announced a new Justice Department fraud-fighting unit to bring together 55 prosecutors and federal and state investigators focusing on one of the contributing causes behind the financial crisis ? the collapse of residential mortgage-backed securities. Obama named Schneiderman as co-chairman to pull together state and federal probes into the bubble that led to the market crash.

Delaware officials have said MERS has sown confusion among consumers, investors and other stakeholders in the mortgage finance system. Officials claim the company has damaged the integrity of Delaware's land records system and lead to unlawful foreclosure practices.

The Massachusetts attorney general sued the banks and MERS in December and Delaware's attorney general has sued MERS Corp.
