I’m staring at a screen full of impossible. The video playback on my iPhone shows a half dozen versions of myself walking around my kitchen and den. A timestamp follows each one of my doppelgangers around the room. What does it mean? Is this magic?

It’s actually FBI-grade surveillance technology squeezed onto a mobile device thanks to FLIR

You may remember FLIR, the company that found a way to add thermal imaging to your garden-variety iPhone 5 and 5S. That was cool technology, but mostly for nerds. FLIR’s new FX Wireless HD video monitoring system is a product any security-conscious home owner may love. Read more...

Feed-twFeed-fb

Sen. Rand Paul, a tea party favorite and frequent antagonist of leaders of his Republican Party, is ready to test how much change voters want, both for their government and for the GOP.

Paul is set to begin his White House campaign on Tuesday, kicking off the presidential run with a rally in downtown Louisville, then jetting to early nominating states with a pitch aimed at the libertarian corners of the GOP. Paul begins the 2016 race as the second fully declared candidate, behind Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, but he could face as many as 20 rivals for the nomination before the lead-off Iowa caucuses early next year. Read more...

Editor's note: Mashable does not condone the use of illegal drugs, and discourages anyone from smuggling them in violation of event policy.

Miley Cyrus exposed our fascination with party drugs in 2013 when she confused listeners who heard the lyrics "dancing with Molly" instead of "dancing with Miley."

MDMA, which is short for 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse — is known as "Molly" to most of us. It's a synthetic drug that releases serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, overwhelming users with feelings of euphoria, energy and emotional warmth — hence its other name, Ecstasy, when in pill form.

LONDON — Just as we were recovering from that horrifying video of the Teletubbies in black-and-white, the sinister foursome are back again, with Jim Broadbent as a talking trumpet and Absolutely Fabulous' Jane Horrocks as the "tubby phone."

LONDON — In what felt like a weird throwback to the late 1990s and 2000s, Tony Blair was back in election campaigning mode Tuesday.

The former prime minister publicly threw his weight behind current Labour leader Ed Miliband while slamming the Conservatives' plan to hold a referendum on the UK leaving the European Union.

Blair warned that a EU referendum is a "completely unacceptable gamble with our nation's future" and asked if a Conservative government would hold periodic referendums "just to check popular feeling."

“In the beginning Kanye created the heaven and the earth… And Kanye said, Let there be light: and there was light.”

So begins The Book of Yeezus, a comic and gleefully sacrilegious tome on sale on Etsy that promises spiritual enlightenment for a celebrity-saturated age.

The text, described by its creators as "an interventionist art, coffee table novelty," takes the Book of Genesis and replaces every mention of God with "Kanye" or Yeezus", attempting to answer some big questions along the way.

"What if the Bible, the most singularly significant publication in the ancient canon of Western tradition, were updated to reflect our modern society? What would it look like?" Read more...

If there's one major issue plaguing smartphones, smartwatches and other gadgets we use every day, it's battery life. Now, a team of researchers at Stanford University has built an aluminum-ion battery prototype which offers several improvements over today's ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries, including super-fast charging times

The team's aluminum-ion battery sounds like a dream come true for gadget manufacturers — a perfect battery with few flaws.

Until now, aluminum-ion batteries weren't able to produce a high enough voltage, especially after many recharge cycles. But the prototype created by the Stanford researchers consists of an aluminum anode and a cathode made of graphite — a combination of materials that allows for producing sufficient voltage (about two volts), even after thousands of recharge cycles Read more...

Around 1,700 soldiers were captured by the extremists in June as they were trying to flee Camp Speicher, an air base on the outskirt of Tikrit that previously served as a U.S. military facility, following an onslaught that stunned security forces and the military, which melted away as the militants advanced and captured key cities and towns in the country's north and west.

Twitter revamped its retweet feature on Monday, making it easier for users to plug other people's tweets and add commentary of their own.

Retweeting was a more tedious process until now if folks wanted to comment on a link. You either manually copied and pasted the link into a fresh tweet, or if you wanted to offer more context, copy-pasted a tweet's original text into a new tweet with a comment shoehorned in — so long as you stuck to that 140 character limit.

But this latest approach lets you skip all that copy-pasting nonsense, prompting you now for a pithy remark before hitting the Retweet button, like so: Read more...

The bicycle is en vogue.

Over the past decade, an increasing number of cities around the world have adopted bike-sharing systems — the setup that allows urban dwellers to share bicycles for short-term amounts of time for a fee (think Citi Bike in New York City or Santander Cycles in London).

According to a recent blog post from leading bike-sharing consultancy MetroBike, 855 cities across the globe had bike-sharing systems in 2014. That's compared to 703 one year earlier in 2013, and only 11 cities a decade earlier in 2004.

Overall, there are nearly one million bicycles being shared worldwide, the majority of which — 753,508 — are in China. France has the second-largest fleet, followed by Spain, the United States and Germany. Read more...

The request is known as "preliminary discovery" and is where a party is unable to identify a person they wish to sue and seeks help from the court in identifying the person — in this case, by obtaining the names and addresses of the users. Read more...

The Vampire Diaries is losing a major player

Nina Dobrev, the female lead of the series, announced via Instagram on Monday that she is leaving the show after the sixth season, which is currently airing on The CW.

In her statement, the actress, who plays Elena Gilbert on the drama, said: "I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime."

Dearest TVD Family, I've just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries. I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party. I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there's still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I'll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever. There's more to come before we wrap this up, and I promise you'll get to hear all about my experiences over the next month as we approach the season finale (I have given an exclusive interview for the June issue of SELF Magazine that I am excited for you to see!), but until then I invite you to hop on the roller coaster ride that is Elena Gilbert's life and join me as I celebrate her and prepare to say goodbye to her — and to my work family — as I move on to the next chapter of my life. I want to share this goodbye with all of you (this weekend's pictures were just the beginning). You, the wonderful fandom who gave more love, support and passion than anyone could have ever imagined seven years ago, when a young Degrassi girl from Canada showed up in LA to audition for 'that Twilight TV show.' ;-) I love you all.

Motion Blur Effect with SVG
Apr 8th 2015, 09:50

MotionBlur

View demo Download source

Today we are going to show you how to make a motion blur effect and apply it to regular JS or CSS animations of HTML elements.

Motion blur is a technique widely used in motion graphics and animation in general to make movement seem more smooth and natural.

Motion blur is the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image or a sequence of images such as a movie or animation. It results when the image being recorded changes during the recording of a single frame, either due to rapid movement or long exposure.

Motion blur on Wikipedia

In this article, we’ll take a look at how to make an approximation of that effect, for horizontal or vertical transitions.

Attention: Please keep in mind that this effect is highly experimental and only supported by some modern browsers. Chrome seems to have the best performance for it as of now.

In order to apply a motion blur effect to an animation, we need to apply a directional blur to the object according to the speed and direction it is moving, for every frame.

MotionBlur_01

Let’s take a look at the steps we need to take to understand how the effect works:

Setting the blur

Since the regular CSS blur filter does not support directional blur, we are going to have to use SVG filters.
We’ve already covered the basics of SVG filters in the Creative Gooey Effects article.

For this effect, we will only be using the feGaussianBlur filter primitive.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" class="filters">
	<defs>
		<filter id="blur">
			<feGaussianBlur in="SourceGraphic" stdDeviation="0,0" />
		</filter>
	</defs>
</svg>

The stdDeviation attribute is used to set the blur intensity, and can take up to two parameters, for blur in the horizontal and vertical orientation.

Applying the filter to an element, as we’ve seen before, is simple enough:

.selector{
	-webkit-filter: url("#blur");
	filter: url("../index.html#blur");
}

For the motion blur effect, however, we are going to have to update the filter dynamically for every frame through JS.

First we will have to select and store the filter in a variable so that we can access it later. Since jQuery doesn’t play well with SVG elements, we need to select the element using native JS functions:

var filters = document.querySelector(".filters"), // the SVG that contains the filters
	defs = filters.querySelector("defs"), // the  element inside the SVG
	blur = defs.querySelector("#blur"), // the blur filter
	blurFilter = blur.firstElementChild; // the feGaussianBlur primitive

Setting the intensity then, is just a matter of changing the stdDeviation attribute of the filter primitive. For example, to set a horizontal 12px blur:

blurFilter.setAttribute("stdDeviation","12,0");

MotionBlur_02

Keep in mind that this blur filter only supports directional blur on either the X or the Y direction, and not on any arbitrary angle, so you should plan your animations accordingly.

Note though, that changing the blur filter affects all objects linked to it, so we need a new <filter> element for each object we want to apply this effect to. Here is a simple way of creating these filters dynamically:

// go through all the objects that need a blur filter
$(".js-blur").each(function(i){
	// clone the filter
	var blurClone=blur.cloneNode(true);

	// create and set a new ID so we can use the filter through CSS
	var blurId="blur"+i;
	blurClone.setAttribute("id",blurId);

	defs.appendChild(blurClone);

	// set the CSS
	var filter="url(#"+blurId+")";
	$(this)
		.css({
			webkitFilter:filter,
			filter:filter
		})
		// store the filter reference on the object for practicity
		.data("blur",blurClone)
	;
});

Measuring the speed

For the next step, we need to be able to calculate, how far the object has moved since the last frame. We need to do this for every frame. The method for achieving this might vary according to how everything is set up; how the animation is done, etc. In this tutorial, we’ll take a more generalist approach, which, while it might not be optimized for all use cases, should work with most JS and CSS animations.

To get the position, we’ll be using jQuery’s offset function, which is just what we need: it returns the element’s coordinates relative to the document (rather than its parent), and takes the transform property into account.

To be able to check for changes and update every frame, we’ll use requestAnimationFrame.

Here’s an example:

// the element we want to apply the effect
var $element=$(".selector");
// storing the last position, to be able to measure changes
var lastPos=$element.offset();
// a multiplier, to be able to control the intensity of the effect
var multiplier=0.25;

// a helper to simplify setting the blur. 
function setBlur(x,y){
	blurFilter.setAttribute("stdDeviation",x+","+y);	
}

(function updateMotionBlur(){
	// get the current position of the element
	var currentPos=$element.offset();

	// calculate the changes from the last frame and apply the multiplier
	var xDiff=Math.abs(currentPos.left-lastPos.left)*multiplier;
	var yDiff=Math.abs(currentPos.top-lastPos.top)*multiplier;

	// set the blur
	setBlur(xDiff,yDiff);

	// store current position for the next frame
	lastPos=currentPos;

	// call to update in the next frame
	requestAnimationFrame(updateMotionBlur);
})();

And here is the result:

blur_modal

This is the basic approach which takes only one element into consideration. A more complicated use might require code optimized for it in particular. For a more sophisticated take, you may look into applying the motion blur effect to multiple objects, disabling the blur and the speed calculation when there’s no animation, and so on.

blur_gallery

And we’re done here! Again, with all things filter, please be aware that this effect can be resource intensive, so you should refrain from using it on large objects.

Below, we take a look at what we think are the 10 worst offenders. Have we missed out a song from a commercial that makes you cringe? Shout it out in the comments.

KIEV, Ukraine — Officer Sergei Yatchenko pulls closed the curtains in his cluttered bedroom, sits at his desk, pours himself a drink, takes a deep breath and squeezes his eyes shut.

It's quiet here, far away from the bloody front lines of the war in eastern Ukraine, now in its second year

But it's not peaceful. Not for Yatchenko.

"You've asked how do I feel? I feel terrible," Yatchenko says, now passing a knife between his hands. He pulls it out of its sheath, slides it back in. "I'm not living; I'm existing." Read more...

PALM SPRINGS, California — Coachella fashion may seem like an oxymoron, but for four designers, haute hippie is serious business

In a coup to fashion snobs everywhere, Pandora Jewelry launched their first fashion initiative with four New York-based brands: Plenty by Tracy Reese, Nanette Lepore, Whit, and Siwy, during the weekend’s festivities. The latter brand kicked off their fashion show earlier Friday with guests like actresses Jamie Chung and Victoria Justice with DJs, including Chelsea Leyland, spinning some beats

“We want to connect with our customers and show them some great denim,” said Siwy COO, Alain Lafourcade. “We really liked the idea of doing a runway show that was consumer facing because a woman can see something on the runway and immediately go out and purchase it. She won’t have to wait six months for it to be in stores.” Read more...

President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro exchanged greetings and handshakes at the opening of the Summit of the Americas in Panama.

It's the first such interaction between the two men since 2013, and one of the only times that the leaders of the U.S. and Cuba have spoken to one another in more than a half century.

The moment was captured on video by Telesur, a Venezuelan network. Obama and Castro can be seen greeting each other in a big crowd while U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez look on. The clicks and flashes of multiple cameras can be heard and seen as the two men greet each other.

1080p full HD video is still great, but the future of video is unquestionably 4K. Come this June, Canon's backing the 4K video recording movement in a big way with the compact XC10 digital camcorder.

It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the $2,500 digital camcorder (it isn't a DSLR) is really small: It measures 4.9 x 4.0 x 4.8-inches and weighs only 2.3 pounds

The XC10 uses a 1-inch sensor that's capable of recording 4K video at 3,840 x 2,160 resolution and full HD video at 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. Its lens is a fixed 24.1-241mm f/2.8-5.6 lens with 10x wide-angle zoom. The camera also has built-in dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wi-Fi for remote shutter control with a smartphone or tablet.

I was never a watch guy. The moment I bought my first cellphone, 15 years ago, I ditched my wristwatch, and I’ve never worn one since. I just couldn’t see the point — I could tell the time by looking at my cellphone, which was always with me. And soon enough, every decent phone had an alarm, a stopwatch, and everything else your average wristwatch could have, only better.

How come, then, the cellphone failed to kill the wristwatch? The reasons are many — the wristwatch can be a status symbol, a training partner, a diving computer. Above all, it's a highly desirable, collectible gadget. As I’ve come to learn by reading extensively about the world of horology during the past few weeks, the Apple Watch and smartwatches in general are not about to threaten most — if any — of those niches Read more...

A 25-foot-long chunk of fiberglass that likely belonged to a Japanese fishing boat was discovered thousands of miles away from its home on Thursday in the waters off the coast of Oregon.

Stowed away on board the flotsam were several live yellowtail jack fish, a species common to the ocean near Japan. Authorities suspect the boat was destroyed during the deadly earthquake and subsequent tsunami that ravaged eastern Japan four years ago.

The catastrophe killed more than 18,000 people and caused $300 billion worth of damage. It also unleashed an estimated five million tons of debris into the Pacific Ocean, the majority of which immediately sank to the bottom. The remainder still afloat is scattered throughout the Pacific, where it periodically washes up on U.S. beaches. Read more...

Russia's powerful media and Internet watchdog Roskomnadzor officially outlawed the use of celebrity Internet memes, according to a clarification it posted on the Russian social network VKontakte earlier this week.

Ticking off a few items that violate a Russian law protecting public figures' personal data, the government body specifically blacklisted the "use of photos of public personas for the purposes of internet memes not pertaining to the actual celebrity."

In other words, Russian media outlets that share images of celebrities with words pasted on top — memes commonly known as image macros — "will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law." Read more...

Now, researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey, NASA and two universities say that a low cost approach using crowdsourced GPS, and other positioning data from some of the estimated one billion smartphones worldwide, can actually detect the ground movement from fault motion that marks the start of a large earthquake, thereby triggering rapidly disseminating electronic alerts.

Notably absent were industries like finance and healthcare, likely because Glassdoor used the median salaries instead of the average.

Here's a nerdy statistic for you Game of Thrones fans: There are more illegal downloads of the show every week than there are people in King's Landing

That's according to piracy monitoring service Irdeto, which monitored illegal TV downloads for two months earlier this year, and found GoT to be increasingly popular. Some 116,000 copies of the show were downloaded each day on average, or 812,000 in any given week. (King's Landing, according to the George R.R. Martin books, has a mere 500,000 souls.)

That means Game of Thrones, which returns to our screens on Sunday, retains its title as the most popular illegally downloaded show in the world. Not only did Irdeto find it in the same position in a similar study last year, but rival piracy tracking firm Excipio got the same results when it examined BitTorrent downloads in 2013 and 2014 for Variety.

The last place you'd expect to see whistleblower Edward Snowden — who currently has asylum in Russia — is at the White House. Yet, if you navigate to the White House in Google Maps, you'll see a location called "Edwards Snow Den" listed inside the building

If you click on that location in Google Maps, you'll see it listed as a snowboard shop, located at address 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, District of Columbia 20500. A phone is listed, and the location was initially verified by Google

How is this possible? According to Marketing Land, which noticed the listing and contacted Google Monday, someone changed the address of a verified Google Maps location after it went live. Google claims the listing has been removed, though it's still visible on Google Maps (but is no longer verified) Read more...

Abraham Lincoln became president of the United States in October 1860 at the age of 51. But a few weeks earlier he had been judged unequal to the task by 11-year-old Grace Bedell. Young Grace wrote to Lincoln pointing out what was, in her eyes, a serious defect: his lack of facial hair.

Nigalidze denied the phone was his, but he left several pretty clear clues about the device's ownership — the smartphone was logged into his Facebook, and it had a chess program running, showing his position on the chess board Read more...

While we think of the cosmos as being full of mystery, there are plenty of unexplored places remaining on our own planet — under the oceans. Only about 5% of the Earth's sea floor has been explored

But now, thanks to a robotic submarine deployed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research ship Okeanos Explorer, we'll all be able to go online and take a peek at some of that unknown territory in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean

The just-started mission will send the robotic sub on 20 dives, some of them as much as 3.7 miles deep, according to a NOAA press release. Many of those dives will take place in the Puerto Rico Trench, a 500-mile-long stretch of the sea floor that in some places is 5.4 miles deep, making it the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean basin Read more...

Be careful of street performers playing ukuleles, particularly if you're a politician on the campaign trail.

Prime Minister David Cameron was out campaigning ahead of next month's UK general election at a public meet and greet Monday in Alnwick, Northumberland, when he was confronted by an expletive-ridden ballad

"Fuck off back to Eton with all your Eton chums," the man sang out, referring to the school Cameron attended as a child, undeterred by Cameron's security detail.

The Prime Minister seemed to roll with it, smiling as he walked by the busker and later stopping to appear in selfies with people who turned out to see the campaign walkabout. Read more...

The post attracted hundreds of commenters, many of whom said the image was sensationalised and that sheep shearing was not cruel.

Iraqi forces recently won back the city after a drawn-out, bloody battle. For many of the thousands of Shiite militiamen who made up the bulk of the government forces, however, taking Tikrit wasn't just about claiming a military victory — it was about finding the remains of friends, colleagues and family members.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Social Service Minister Scott Morrison announced the “no jab, no pay” policy. The strong stance against those known as "anti-vaxxers" will see Aussie parents potentially lose thousands of dollars in government assistance.

"Parents who vaccinate their children should have confidence that they can take their children to child care without the fear that their children will be at risk of contracting a serious or potentially life-threatening illness because of the conscientious objections of others," Morrison's office said in a press release.

Top 3 performances

Team Blake: Hannah Kirby, "Edge of Seventeen"

As the first artist of the night, Hannah Kirby set the bar high. America hadn't been on her side, as she was Blake's last save. This week proved America wrong

Absolutely killing Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" (Side note: Whenever I hear this song, I'm can't help but be reminded of Joan Cusack and Jack Blake belting it out in School of Rock) Read more...

With our extremely connected, information-rich world, it can be tough to make one piece of communication stand out from the rest.

But with help from a car company and some stunt drivers, an astronaut's daughter was able to send a simple but heart-warming message to her father, who was at work in the International Space Station — one he couldn't miss

The project, which took place on January 18, was used to advertise the Hyundai Genesis, and also broke the Guinness World Record for “the largest tire track image,” measuring 59,808,480.26 square feet.

Vizio is doing it again: It's bringing Ultra HD (UHD) TVs with stunning picture quality to the masses at a surprisingly low price.

Falling between the company's full HD E-series and UHD P-series, the new M-series starts at $599.99 for a 43-inch flat screen

The other eight models are reasonably priced, too, for their respective screen sizes: $769.99 (49-inch); $799.99 (50-inch); $999.99 (65-inch); $1,499 (60-inch); $1,699.99 (65-inch); $2,199.99 (70-inch); $2999 (75-inch) and $3999 (80-inch).

Time was when Vizio TVs were budget in every sense: Price and picture quality. Over the last few years, the company's intense focus on the latter have made it the No. 1 Smart TV company in the U.S. Read more...

Tuesday marks 150 years to the day since John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. The next day, just six days after the end of the Civil War, the president succumbed to his injuries.

The red chair Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot is now housed at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, where thousands of tourists view it every year

"There's an intimacy to it that catapults you back in time," Doris Kearns Goodwin, renowned historian and Lincoln expert, told the Associated Press. "And hopefully, along with that, you're not just thinking of the death but the life that made it worthwhile." Read more...

Scientists plus a weather balloon plus too much time on their hands equals what? Answer: The first donut to enter space.

A Norwegian science group constructs the weather balloon, assembles the video rig and sends the donut boldly where no donut has ever gone before in this video.

A tip from this group to home scientists that want to send their pastries to the moon: You need to get a permit in order to launch donuts into space

So remember to pick up a "donut space launch" permit at your local city hall.

"He ... can... go... all ... the ... never mind."

An Oregon runner got a little ahead of himself at this year's Pepsi Team Invitational. Oregon's Tanguy Pepiot decided to do a celebratory "I can't hear you!" crowd-pumping move during a race that he assumed he had locked down. Washington's Meron Simon saw Pepiot celebrating, turned on the jets and ended up narrowly winning the race

Dubliners have been captivated by a four-story tall mural of two young men wrapped in a tender embrace that appeared on one of the main streets in the city center Saturday morning

With a nationwide referendum on same-sex marriage a little over a month away, the new mural sheds light on the growing national support of marriage equality

The huge statement on the upcoming referendum took 12 hours to create, some of which was spent in the pouring rain. For a country that only decriminalized homosexuality in 1993, the referendum marks huge strides towards equality, but has caused debate in the traditionally Catholic nation Read more...

Mumford & Sons, the rockers who recently ditched their signature acoustic sound in favor of an electric vibe, are speaking out against Jay Z's streaming-music service Tidal

Though Mumford & Sons isn't the first to criticize the artist-owned platform and the star-studded announcement with its 16 celebrity stakeholders, the band is among the highest-profile critics. Guitarist Winston Marshall called the star stakeholders “new school f*cking plutocrats,” in an interview the The Daily Beast

The 16 singers and bands behind the service, who represent every major music genre, are: Alicia Keys, Arcade Fire, Beyoncé, Calvin Harris, Chris Martin, Deadmau5, Daft Punk, Jack White, Jason Aldean, J. Cole, Jay Z, Kanye West, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and Usher. Together, they joined forces online during a glitzy yet uninformative press conference in March Read more...

HBO Now, the premium cable channel's newly unveiled standalone service, cleared its first major hurdle Sunday night when it withstood the hordes of Game of Thrones fans tuning in for the season five premiere.

The relatively seamless release of the hugely anticipated episode was an optimistic sign for cord cutters, the growing number of television viewers forgoing cable subscriptions for online platforms.

But viewers who used Sling TV, Dish Network's online-only $20-per-month bundle, on a Roku device to access the service had a far worse experience — as did many of those using HBO Go Read more...

thumbnail Curiosity rover finds evidence that small amounts of liquid water exist on Mars
Apr 13th 2015, 23:21

Mars-curiousity-rover

Feed-twFeed-fb

Liquid water lurks just below the surface of Mars on cold winter nights, according to new research.

The Mars Curiosity rover has found evidence that when temperatures drop on cold winter nights, trace amounts of water from the atmosphere can turn to frost, which can then be absorbed into the upper layers of the Martian soil and liquefied. The liquid water evaporates back into the atmosphere after sunrise, when temperatures start to go up again.

Turning water from a solid (frost) to a liquid requires the presence of a particular type of salt that scientists say could melt the frost, even in very cold temperatures (salt lowers the melting temperature of water, which is why it's put down on icy sidewalks and roads during winter). However, the authors of the new work say the small amounts of liquid salt water in the soil would not be enough to support microbial life. The extreme temperatures would also make the environment too extreme. Read more...

thumbnail 5 tips for getting customers to stay loyal to your brand
Apr 16th 2015, 11:43

Brand-loyalty

Feed-twFeed-fb

I make no apologies for using the well-used analogy of comparing a brand's relationship with its customers to that of a budding romance between two lovers. It's a cliché, but it's painfully accurate. Although I admit I've never actually scratched the name of my supermarket brand all over my school desk, or doodled the logo of my frequently visited chemist on my bedroom wall, (all of which I may have done in the past, when faced with personal romantic issues).

With the exception of the major airlines, the brand loyalty communication business can be somewhat haphazard in Southeast Asia, particularly where I sit, in Bangkok Read more...

Increasing Facebook ad conversion rates without simply increasing ad spend can be a challenge if you're not an expert. But there are some tried-and-true tweaks that will get you better results, especially if you invest some energy into testing different versions.

To find out more, I asked 14 entrepreneurs from Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) to share their favorite ways to supercharge a Facebook ad campaign. Their best answers are below. The best part? Most of them are very easy fixes and quick to implement.

1. Target followers of similar brands

Andrew Hoeft

Narrowing your target audience is always a good idea in terms of getting higher quality social media ad results. On Facebook, you can target followers of specific brands. This is helpful when you are trying to sell to the same customer base as other well-known businesses or if you are trying to target the customer base of other non-competing brands in your market. Using this filter is a simple solution when you do not know other details about your target audience such as age, likes, job titles, etc. To become even more effective, create separate campaigns for each brand that you are targeting the followers of.

I remember the first time I left the United States. I was about eight years old, visiting family in El Paso, Texas. During the trip, we traveled to nearby Juarez, Mexico, to visit the market.

Everything about the market was different from any previous shopping experience I'd ever had. It was an open-air market with a dirt floor, and it was packed to the brim with booths. Vendors negotiated their prices, and children peddled wares. I saw goods for sale that were new to me, like a Mexican soft drink I'd never heard of or ever tasted. It gave me a new appreciation for — and curiosity about — other cultures. Read more...

When the speed and rhythm of a song harmonizes with your own movements, magic seems to be at work — you suddenly feel re-energized and invigorated

But it isn't actually magic; it's science, and you can use it to your advantage.

You've probably heard about "beats per minute," or BPM, when it refers to running. The term relates the tempo of a song to your heart rate (each time your heart's ventricles and atria contract). Documenting the scientific relationship between exercise and music dates back to 1911, when scientists found that cyclists pedaled faster while a band was playing music than when it was silent Read more...

He told reporters after meeting with his counterparts from the other two countries that so far 61% of the 60,000 kilometer (23,000-square-mile) search area has been scoured off Australia's west coast. The remaining area would have been searched by the end of May, he said. Read more...

In its first quarter earnings report of 2015, released on Wednesday, Netflix said that it now regrets the deals it made with Australian Internet providers, Optus and iiNet, to offer Aussie Netflix users unmetered data.

The arrangement, which allows Optus and iiNet customers to watch unlimited Netflix without breaching their data caps, appeared to undermine the American company’s commitment to net neutrality.

Net neutrality, the principle that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by Internet service providers (ISPs), has been hotly debated in the United States. Netflix has been a key member of the fight for net neutrality there after it cut a widely decried deal in 2014 with U.S. Internet giant, Comcast, in exchange for better service performance.

Grid Item Animation Layout
Apr 15th 2015, 11:14

GridItemAnimation

View demo Download source

Today we’d like to share a simple animated grid layout with you. The responsive layout has a sidebar and grid items that animate to a larger content area when clicked. In the first demo the content area fills the grid (inspired by a concept by Virgil Pana) and in the second demo, the whole layout moves to the left while the grid item is expanding (inspired by this Dribbble shot by Sam Thibault).

The expanding element (which is a dummy element and not the grid item itself) is not animating in width and height but instead its original dimensions are already of the expanded size and we simply scale it down initially. By setting classes, we control the transitions of all the elements: the grid item elements’ disappearance and the content elements’ appearance (and vice versa when we close an opened content panel).

GridItemAnimation_02

The layout is responsive down to mobile using a media query technique that involves setting the breakpoints based on the grid item size and the sidebar. For this we use Sass, which allows us to set these kind of variables easily. The approach we are using here is mainly mobile-first, but we also do some specific restructuring for small screens.

Please note that this layout uses some modern techniques that involve viewport units, transitions, flexbox and other properties that will only work in modern browsers.

The second demo is a bit more experimental and it might not behave as expected in all browsers. Internet Explorer seems to have some issues with transitions on transforms that use calc().

This layout is focused on the expansion effect of the grid item and many elements are simple dummies (the loader, the filter in the top bar and the “load more” in the footer of the grid).

The main markup looks as follows:

<div class="container">
	<button class="menu-toggle" id="menu-toggle" ><span>Menu</span></button>

	<div class="sidebar" id="theSidebar" >
		<button class="close-button fa fa-fw fa-close"></button>
		<!-- ... other elements ... -->
	</div>

	<div class="main" id="theGrid" >

		<section class="grid">
			<header class="top-bar">
				<!-- header elements -->
			</header>
			<a class="grid__item" href="#">
				<!-- preview elements -->
			</a>
			<a class="grid__item" href="#">
				<!-- preview elements -->
			</a>
			<!-- ... -->
			<footer class="page-meta">
				<!-- ... -->
			</footer>
		</section><!-- /grid -->

		<section class="content">

			<div class="scroll-wrap">
				<article class="content__item">
					<!-- content -->
				</article>
				<article class="content__item">
					<!-- content -->
				</article>
				<!-- ... -->
			</div>

			<button class="close-button"><i class="fa fa-close"></i><span>Close</span></button>
			
		</section><!-- /content -->

	</div><!-- /main -->

</div><!-- /container -->

The Sass files of this project are divided into a main style file and two partials, one for the base styles and one for the media queries. Each of the demos will have a unique style Sass file (style1.scss and style2.scss) where we initiate some variable and redefine some styles if necessary (as in demo 2). There are many ways of organizing your project in Sass; this was one convenient way to do it for these two demos. If you’d like to use one of them, make sure to refactor your style declarations. If you are not familiar with Sass, you can simply use and adjust the generated CSS files.

An example for the main demo Sass file is as follows:

$item_width: 300px;

The variables needed in the base and the media queries Sass files are defined here.

GridItemAnimation_01

The media query breakpoints are defined by the amount of items we want to be visible in the grid and the sidebar (no prefixes shown):

/* Viewport sizes based on column number and sidebar */
$viewport_xs: 	$item_width + $sidebar_width; /* 1 column */
$viewport_s: 	$item_width * 2 + $sidebar_width; /* 2 columns */
$viewport_m: 	$item_width * 3 + $sidebar_width; /* 3 columns */
$viewport_l: 	$item_width * 4 + $sidebar_width; /* 4 columns */
$viewport_xl: 	$item_width * 5 + $sidebar_width; /* 5 columns */
$viewport_xxl: 	$item_width * 6 + $sidebar_width; /* 6 columns */

@media screen and (min-width: $viewport_xs) {
	html, 
	body, 
	.container, 
	.main {
		height: 100vh;
	}

	.main {
		height: 100%;
		margin-left: $sidebar_width;
	}

	.content__item {
		font-size: 1em;
	}

	.grid__item {
		padding: 45px 45px 30px;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: $viewport_s) {
	.grid {
		display: flex;
		flex-wrap: wrap;
	}

	/* 2 columns */
	.grid__item {
		width: 50%;
		border: none;
	}

	.grid__item::before {
		top: 5px;
		right: 5px;
		bottom: 5px;
		left: 5px;
		border: 1px solid rgba(74,74,74,0.075);
		transition: opacity 0.3s;
	}

	.grid__item:hover::before,
	.grid__item:focus::before {
		border: 3px solid rgba(129,196,131,0.5);
	}

	.grid__item--loading.grid__item::before {
		opacity: 0;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: $viewport_m) {
	/* 3 columns */
	.grid__item {
		width: 33.333%;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: $viewport_l) {
	/* 4 columns */
	.grid__item {
		width: 25%;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: $viewport_xl) {
	/* 5 columns */
	.grid__item {
		width: 20%;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: $viewport_xxl) {
	/* 6 columns */
	.grid__item {
		width: 16.66%;
	}
}

/* small screen changes for sidebar (it becomes an off-canvas menu) */
@media screen and (max-width: $viewport_xs - 1px) {
	.sidebar {
		transform: translate3d(-100%,0,0);
	}
	.sidebar.sidebar--open {
		transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
	}
	.sidebar.sidebar--open ~ .main {
		pointer-events: none;
	}
	.top-bar {
		padding: 22px 15px 10px 60px;
	}
	.menu-toggle {
		display: inline-block;
	}
	.sidebar .close-button {
		opacity: 1;
		top: 15px;
		right: 15px;
		pointer-events: auto;
	}
	.title--full {
		font-size: 2em;
	}
	.content__item {
		padding: 80px 20px 40px;
	}
	.close-button {
		padding: 10px 20px;
	}
	.close-button::before {
		content: '';
		position: absolute;
		top: 0;
		right: 0;
		background: $color_secondary;
		border-bottom: 1px solid $color_primary;
		width: 100vw;
		height: 50px;
		pointer-events: none;
		z-index: -1;
	}
}

This technique can come in handy when dealing with grid layouts. Optimally, we’d not have that last media query at all if we want to strictly follow a mobile-first approach. But since these styles are exclusively valid only for small screens, we don’t want to be redefining and overwriting styles for larger screens.

Have a look at the layout and the effect and dig into the source, we really hope you find this template useful and inspiring!
