Cloud-Music Player AudioBox Reboots With Support For DropBox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Box, Others

logo-40c750a377e0134d37b41506f8f8849fThe world isn't exactly short of services offering to store your music collection in the cloud so that you can access it from anywhere. In recent times, major players Apple (iCloud), Google (Drive), and Amazon (Cloud), have pitched up alongside early pioneers in the music locker and streaming space, such as Michael Robertson's MP3tunes. And, perhaps feeling the heat, another burgeoning offering -- AudioBox.fm -- has seen a significant reboot with an approach that appears to 'bring everything but the kitchen sink' to the cloud-music table.

One Pussy Riot Member Released From Prison | Music News - Idolator

A Moscow appeals court judge today (October 10) nullified the two-year prison sentence for Pussy Riot member Yekaterina Samutsevich, but has upheld the sentences for the two other imprisoned members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova.

Samutsevich?s new lawyer (she fired her attorney earlier this month, which delayed the appeal hearing) argued that her client didn?t actually participate in the February anti-Putin demonstration, saying she was caught after donning her balaclava and guitar but before she actually got to take part in the song. Seems like a flimsy defense in a case that already heavily favored the state, but? it was confirmed by a video of the incident and witness testimony.

The other two imprisoned members of Pussy Riot plan to continue the appeals process, perhaps by going all the way to the? European Human Rights Court. The women of the feminist punk collective were sentenced to two years behind bars for staging an anti-Putin ?punk prayer? at Moscow?s Christ the Savior Cathedral in February.

FilAm Vets ? Choosing The Right Bathroom Cabinets

If you are thinking about remodeling the bathroom, it will be worthwhile to consider having custom made bathroom cabinets. Most houses that were built more than, say twenty or twenty-five years, do not have a luxurious master suite that present house designs include. Under such circumstances, if you want to get rid of the old, tiring looks of the bathroom, you dont really have many options but to undertake the remodeling of your bathroom to give it a modern and more welcoming look.

If you are faced with such a situation, your best option will be to make use of some vacant corner. Addition of corner cabinets not only provides additional storage, but also adds to the aesthetics of the space, thus becoming multi functional. The space offered by the corner cabinet could gainfully be exploited for storage of many of the items normally required in any bathroom, like soaps and shampoos etc. Cabinets provide an easy affordable way of creating more space in any room. However, you need to take care that the design and size of the cabinets goes along well with the design of a shower stall and other bathroom elements.

Removing and replacing the present bathroom furniture is a long and tedious process in case you find it difficult to find ready to use cabinets from a home improvement store in your area, and that would necessitate using custom built units! Quite often, women like to store their hair drier and the connected accessories in such cabinets so that they remain within an easy and quick reach. At times that may make it difficult to have adequate storage space for keeping additional rolls of toilet paper.

You get a very large variety of bathroom furniture. You may have the laminated variety or the ones made from wood or glass, or a combination of the two. The counter tops of the laminated models of cabinets are glued down using flammable materials and should therefore be fixed in an airy area. Bear in mind that the design of your bathroom and the respective positioning of the furniture can create a larger look therein.

Switching cause and effect in quantum world? A causes B causes A

ScienceDaily (Oct. 2, 2012) ? One of the most deeply rooted concepts in science and in our everyday life is causality; the idea that events in the present are caused by events in the past and, in turn, act as causes for what happens in the future. If an event A is a cause of an effect B, then B cannot be a cause of A. Now theoretical physicists from the University of Vienna and the Universit? Libre de Bruxelles have shown that in quantum mechanics it is possible to conceive situations in which a single event can be both, a cause and an effect of another one.

The findings will be published this week in Nature Communications.

Although it is still not known if such situations can be actually found in nature, the sheer possibility that they could exist may have far-reaching implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum gravity and quantum computing.

Causal relations: who influences whom

In everyday life and in classical physics, events are ordered in time: a cause can only influence an effect in its future not in its past. As a simple example, imagine a person, Alice, walking into a room and finding there a piece of paper. After reading what is written on the paper Alice erases the message and leaves her own message on the piece of paper. Another person, Bob, walks into the same room at some other time and does the same: he reads, erases and re-writes some message on the paper. If Bob enters the room after Alice, he will be able to read what she wrote; however Alice will not have a chance to know Bob's message. In this case, Alice's writing is the "cause" and what Bob reads the "effect." Each time the two repeat the procedure, only one will be able to read what the other wrote. Even if they don't have watches and don't know who enters the room first, they can deduce it by what they write and read on the paper. For example, Alice might write "Alice was here today," such that if Bob reads the message, he will know that he came to the room after her.

Quantum violation of causal order

As long as only the laws of classical physics are allowed, the order of events is fixed: either Bob or Alice is first to enter the room and leave a message for the other person. When quantum mechanics enters into play, however, the picture may change drastically. According to quantum mechanics, objects can lose their well-defined classical properties, such as e.g. a particle that can be at two different locations at the same time. In quantum physics this is called a "superposition."

Now an international team of physicists led by Caslav Brukner from the University of Vienna have shown that even the causal order of events could be in such a superposition. If -- in our example -- Alice and Bob have a quantum system instead of an ordinary piece of paper to write their messages on, they can end up in a situation where each of them can read a part of the message written by the other. Effectively, one has a superposition of two situations: "Alice enters the room first and leaves a message before Bob" and "Bob enters the room first and leaves a message before Alice."

"Such a superposition, however, has not been considered in the standard formulation of quantum mechanics since the theory always assumes a definite causal order between events," says Ognyan Oreshkov from the Universit? Libre de Bruxelles (formerly University of Vienna). "But if we believe that quantum mechanics governs all phenomena, it is natural to expect that the order of events could also be indefinite, similarly to the location of a particle or its velocity," adds Fabio Costa from the University of Vienna.

The work provides an important step towards understanding that definite causal order might not be a mandatory property of nature. "The real challenge is finding out where in nature we should look for superpositions of causal orders," explains Caslav Brukner from the Quantum Optics, Quantum Nanophysics, Quantum Information group of the University of Vienna.
