See Jovian clouds in striking shades of blue in this new view taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft.
The Juno spacecraft captured this image when the spacecraft was only 11,747 miles (18,906 kilometers) from the tops of Jupiter’s clouds — that’s roughly as far as the distance between New York City and Perth, Australia.

Do I know anyone in Norfolk VA?
They are sending me there for two weeks and I have no idea what to see and do there outside the client office
When you try to hire a babysitter on Urbansitter.com, and they tell you they don’t want to come because you don’t live in an area fancy enough…
It’s a strange process – scrolling through profiles of people, looking at what they wrote, and watching their video intros, agonizing what kind of people they are and whether to write them, and then dealing with rejection.
Reminds me of something..
There is a bike path in the park along the river that I used I take every day when I rode to work.
I remember looking at people in the bus that I used to pass because my bike was faster than their traffic clogged bus and feeling sorry for them.
I am the one on the bus now looking at bikes passing me.
Took a bus to work because different routine and it’s 45 minutes instead of 50.
A study by neuroscientists of the University of Milano-Biocca suggests that gender-stereotypes are deeply rooted within our brains, and that areas of the brain that are involved in storing and processing information were involved, which are normally known to support the ability to attribute intentions and meaning to behavior of our peers.
For the study, the team monitored the neural activity of seven female and eight male students via EEG, while they read different sentences off the computer screen, being advised to push a button in case the sentences ended with an animal word, reading a total of 240 sentences which did or did not violate gender stereotypes, as well as 32 sentences ending with an animal word.
The result was that the first kind of sentences elicited distinctive patterns in the brain’s activity, event-related potentials or ERPs, typically observed after reading or hearing grammatical errors. It was also observed that even the well-educated participants shared the same gender bias prejudice as the “general public”, based on what media or current knowledge drives; also, because our brain detects specific statistical frequencies or regularities of events linked to gender-stereotypes, which influences our predictions and understanding of the world.
In the experiment, the participants responded with violation signals to sentences where women performed “male” jobs, and vice versa.
This doesn’t bode well for solving anything any time soon.
