Ligia Moreiras Sena: mother and scientistMothers Day

Ligia Moreiras Sena, a founder of the website "Scientist who became a mother", wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. To the 15 years, his professional desires added a training in ITA, Technological Institute of Aeronautics. But at the time, the institute did not accept women.
"This was the first impact that I, as a girl, found in being a scientist," said Ligia Moreira. "Although I did not identify this as I understand it today, that is, as a consequence of structural machismo and the patriarchy of society, that was already a major impact for me at that time."

Ligia Moreiras Sena, is a biologist and PhD in Sciences and Public Health.
She had the desire to be a scientist from adolescence, but she changed her plans and graduated in Biology from Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp). His work in the biological sciences began with research in neuroscience and neuropharmacology, the area in which he devoted his productions to both the master's degree in science by the University of São Paulo (USP) and his first specialization, also in science, by UFSC. But everything changed when Ligia Moreiras Sena became pregnant with Clara, who is now seven yers old Source: Last Second - iG @ http://library.blogspot.com/

World cup

In 1962 NASA launched a satellite that would be used in the 1970 World Cup broadcasts. Its name was Telstar, short for Television Star. From that satellite was born not only the inspiration for the name of the ball of the 1970 World Cup, it was also model for its design. The Telstar ball of 1970 would be the first with 32 buds used in a World Cup. These buds were 20 white hexagons and 12 pentagons painted black to enhance the contrast on the televisions of the time. After 48 years, the manufacturer decided to honor this ball started and christened the one that will be used in the Russian Cup as Telstar 18. And to keep the tradition, it also brings an innovation: it will be the first interactive ball of the Cups.

Black and white paint resembles the 1970 model, but small squares in paint are the pixels that represent the ball's entry into the digital world. This is because there is a chip installed in it that allows interactivity through a device, such as a smartphone, for example.


The design of its panels follows the idea put in Brazuca, the ball of the 2014 World Cup. Through 3D programs the designers have come to a form that is repeated six times and fits, forming the ball.Chip on the ball.

It will be the first time that the ball of a World Cup will have an internal chip. The technology used in it is Near Field Communication (NFC), which enables communication with  smartphones and tablets through an application.

What do you think of the chip on the ball ?? source:https://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/copa-do-mundo/noticia/conheca-a-bola-da-copa-2018.ghtml https://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/copa-do-mundo/noticia/conheca-a-bola-da-copa-2018.ghtmlhttps://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/copa-do-mundo/noticia/conheca-a-bola-da-copa-2018.ghtml

Trip to the moon

                                                             Trip to the moon

Today I'm going to talk about a very old movie.


And the movie is: Le voyage dans la Lune

Le voyage dans la Lune is a French film of the year 1902. It was based on two popular novels of its time: From the Earth to the Moon, by Jules Verne, and The First Men on the Moon. The film had a script and directed by Georges Méliès, with the assistance of his brother Gaston Méliès. He was extremely popular in his time and the best known of the hundreds of Méliès productions. It was probably the first science fiction movie and the first to deal with alien beings, and used innovative animation and special effects features, including the famous ship scene landing in the Moon Man's eye.

Synopsis: A group of men travels to the moon, being carried by a capsule thrown from a giant cannon, but they end up being captured by men of the moon.

Trip to Mars    

Did you ever think that there is a trip to Mars that takes 30 minutes?? (14)

Because a trip to Mars today takes six to eight months to realize, the technique that could reduce that space journey is called directed energy propulsion. It consists of a high power laser shot between 50 and 100 gigawatts.(39)

NASA to send helicopter to Mars in 2020

First Space Helicopter

His name is "Mars helicopter," and the small, stand-alone drone will be sent to Mars in just two years, taking advantage of the Mars 2020 mission ride.

The small helicopter is considered a high-risk mission, for its novelty. After all, having a helicopter get support in an atmosphere as rarefied as that of Mars is not a trivial challenge. What counts in favor is that the gravity of Mars is about 40% smaller than that of Earth.
The development of the Mars helicopter began in 2013, when NASA realized that the view of robots, comparable to that of a standing human, limits the choice of interesting targets to be studied. A low-flying helicopter can get a detailed, high-resolution map of the region, helping to chart routes better.

The vehicle weighs just 1.8 kilograms, is 60 centimeters high, and its double counter-rotating wings of 1.1 meters in circumference will try to take advantage of the fine Martian atmosphere spinning at almost 3,000 rpm - about 10 times the wings' rotation of a helicopter on Earth.

Solar cells are expected to recharge the lithium-ion batteries that feed the motors of the small drone, which also has a heating system to keep its instruments at operating temperature - the average temperature on Mars is around -60 ° C.

The helicopter will go to Mars hanging on the bottom of the Mars 2020 robot, which will leave it in a safe place and then pull away so that the vehicle can be put into operation and show its worth.

In its first flight, the helicopter will make a brief vertical ascent until 3 meters of altitude, where it will be for about 30 seconds. The initial testing campaign, scheduled to last 30 days, will include five flights at increasing distances, up to a few hundred meters, and durations of up to 90 seconds.

"We do not have a pilot and the Earth will be several light-minutes away, so there is no way to control this mission in real time. Instead, we have an autonomous capability that will be able to receive and interpret commands and then fly by own account, "Aung said.

Scientist turned mother

                                                           Mothers Day

The São Paulo-born Ligia Moreiras Sena, founder of the site "Scientist Who Became Mother", wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. At the age of 15, his professional aspirations included a degree in ITA, Institute Technological of Aeronautics . But at the time, the institute did not accept women.

"This was the first impact that I, as a girl, found on being a scientist," said the biologist, now a PhD in Sciences and Collective Health from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). "Although I did not identify this as I understand it today, ie as a consequence of structural chauvinism and the patriarchy of society, it was already a major impact for me at that time."

                                                           My holiday
Hi everyone, I did a lot of things on my holiday and one of them I went by car  to a shop in the silva bueno street and bought it a rubber. I went to the cashier and the girl passed my eraser through the bar code reader (also known as a scanner that emits a red light that traverses the bars making their recognition through the color or the absence of it, then the optical reader of the code bars captures the product information in a few seconds and passes the information to the computer). After that I went to my house for dinner and sleep.
