The site of a former nuclear 
bunker known as Mount Pony, where the Federal Reserve secretly 
stockpiled billions of dollars in cash, which they planned to use to 
replenish currency supplies in the wake of Armageddon, in Culpeper, 
Virginia. In 2007, the facility was converted to the Library of Congress
 Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation; it now provides 
underground storage for the Library's vast collection of films and audio
 recordings.<br />

<div class="mol-para-with-font">
These astonishing images offer a glimpse 
inside the bunkers built by the United States government that were 
designed to withstand a nuclear war.  </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Though
 officials keep the details of the country's post-doomsday planning 
classified, evidence of their decades-long effort - some abandoned, some
 active - are hidden in plain sight around Washington DC, and beyond.   </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<br /></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
In
 Washington terminology, it's known as 'continuity of government,' or 
COG - and it's meant to ensure that America continues to operate as a 
constitutional democracy with its 'leadership visible to the nation' and
 its military able to defend the US 'against all enemies, foreign and 
domestic.'</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
It was first developed 
during the Truman Administration, in the early days of nuclear weapons 
development. COG measures expanded greatly during the Cold War. </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<br /></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
The US government built secret doomsday bunkers for federal employees in Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.   </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
They
 constructed nuclear-hardened communications towers throughout the 
Washington region, so the White House could reach other top-level 
survivors.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
And they also developed 
weaponry with 'second-strike capability' that would launch post-doomsday
 to prevent further attacks, a strategy known as mutually assured 
destruction, or MAD.  </div>

Solar-powered tiles could soon line pavements, harnessing the sun's energy to power our cities. </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
At
 least that's the vision of Scottish scientists who are working on 
creating paving tiles that converts energy from the sun into 
electricity.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Scientists say the tiles are tough enough to withstand pedestrian traffic and waterproof enough to survive rainy weather.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
A 
team, including scientists at Glasgow Caledonian University, have 
invented the energy-producing tile which in their hundreds could line 
whole pavements.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
On sunny days the tiles could produce 200 watts of energy per square metre, and about 150 watts if cloudy.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Lead
 researcher Dr Azmy Gowaid and his team received £75,000 ($100,000) 
funding when organisers of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar invited 
competitive bids for innovative designs that could deliver a tournament 
powered by as much renewable energy as possible.</div>
<br />
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
The team of five scientists has already conducted a pilot study at the Al Shamal stadium in Qatar. </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">

Dr
 Gowaid, who is a lecturer in Power Electronics at Glasgow Caledonian 
University, said: 'Qatar has a drive to deliver as much as possible a 
sustainable tournament and so they are keen to get some sort of 
renewable technology running alongside the tournament.'</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Prior
 to that, Dr Gowaid's project, called PVTopia, will be rolled out in the
 hotter climates of North Africa and the Middle East. </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">

Dr Gowaid points 
out that while the costs of the tiles can be double that of normal

Once the break-even point is reached the tiles will continue producing power for another 15-20 years – for free.</div>

Dr
 Gowaid said 'At low scale, say on a pavement of a street or general

 cost of paving stones. </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
'However, the 
generated revenue by feeding to street lighting, traffic systems, or 
simply selling energy to the electricity provider means the walkable

HOW MIGHT SOLAR PANELS ALSO GENERATE ENERGY FROM RAIN?</h3>

<div class="ins cleared mol-factbox-body">
 <blockquote>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
A
 new type of solar panel cell that generates energy from rain as well as
 the sun's rays could be used in countries that see little sunshine.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
A
 prototype recently developed by Chinese scientists works like a normal 
silicon cell with an extra power generator layered on top.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
In
 the rain, the cell switches over to this 'triboelectric nanogenerator' 
(Teng), which converts the downward force exerted by raindrops into 
electricity. </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Because the plastics used
 to make the Teng are transparent, the solar cell could still generate 
energy from sunlight, as well as falling raindrops.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
The physics behind the hybrid device involves the transfer of electrons between two conducting materials when they make contact.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
When
 raindrops fall on the cell, they compress the upper Teng layer, 
generating a current of electrons that flows to an electrode below.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
It
 could be useful in areas that see little sunshine, such as the UK, 
which can produce up to 8GW of solar power on sunny days - a quarter of 
the nation's power demand - but just 1GW of power on dull days in 
winter. </div>

<br />
<a href="https://www.blog.google/products/gmail/stay-composed-heres-quick-rundown-new-gmail/" target="_blank">Google announced</a> major improvements to Gmail on the web to help people be more productive at work. <br />
You can start using these new updates in Gmail on the web today, with
 some features appearing within the coming weeks. Go to Settings (the 
cog wheel in the top right corner of your inbox) and select “Try the new
 Gmail.” If you want to switch back later down the road, you can go to 
the same place and select “Go back to classic Gmail.”<br />
<br />
Many new Gmail features are designed to get more businesses to switch
 to G Suite. Google has 4 million businesses paying for G Suite right 
now while there are 120 million Office 365 commercial users. Microsoft 
has 29.2 million consumers paying for Office 365, and Microsoft has more
 revenue from Office 365 commercial subscriptions than regular 
standalone software copies of Office.<br />
The new Gmail tries to improve integration of Calendar and tasks. Office 365 integration is a key benefit.<br />
<a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7677724?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=new_gmail" target="blank">Google has online support here.</a><br />

<br />
Gmail’s new look helps you get more done. Click on attachments—like 
photos—without opening or scrolling through large conversations, use the
 new snooze button to put off emails that you just can’t get to right 
now or easily access other apps you use often, like Google Calendar, 
Tasks (now available on Android and iOS) and Keep.<br />
Gmail will also “nudge” you to follow up and respond to messages with
 quick reminders that appear next to your email messages to help make 
sure nothing slips through the cracks.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-144416" height="489" src="https://www.nextbigfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/b70e493ae6a76f00b33669ff1c8f407a.gif?x71037" width="906" /><br />
<br />
New features on mobile, like high-priority notifications, can notify 
you of important messages to help you stay focused without interruption.
 Plus, Gmail will start suggesting when to unsubscribe from newsletters 
or offers you no longer care about.<br />

<div class="mol-para-with-font">
 They seem to thrive in the darkest, filthiest corners of Earth.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Now,
 scientists have revealed the secrets to how cockroaches can live in 
such disgusting conditions - and why they are so hard to kill.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
By
 studying their DNA, researchers have identified specific genes that 
allow them to do everything from eat toxic food to regrow lost limbs.  </div>
<br />
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
The American cockroach (Periplaneta 
americana) is an omnivorous scavenger and one of the largest insect 
species that lives in close proximity to humans.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Shui
 Zhan, who works at the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology in 
Shanghai, has worked out the genes that make this creature so difficult 
to destroy. </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
It has one of the largest genomes known to exist among insects, second only to the common locust.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
In total, the species has 20,000 genes - which is the same number as a human. </div>
<br />
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
It's genes make it able to sense smells coming from food - especially food that is fermenting.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Other genes control its internal detoxification system, which means the cockroach doesn't get ill if it eats toxic food.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
More genes help it combat infections, meaning it is resilient to living in filthy conditions, writes the <a class="class" href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/mar/20/cockroaches-dna-reveals-why-they-thrive-in-filthy-places" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Guardian</a>.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
It even has genes that mean it can regrow limbs if they're broken off.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Scientists say that identifying this creature's genes will mean they can control them better in the future.</div>

<div class="mol-para-with-font">
'I think this is an overstatement and has not been proved,' Dr Zhan said.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Researchers also found the American roach was genetically closely related to two species of termite.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" id="ext-gen105">
It

Females
 can reproduce for years and have several generations of all-female 
young - without needing a single male, researchers found.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Japanese scientists used 15 virgin females to produce an all-female colony that stuck together for more than three years.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Unlike
 male roaches who fight if they are housed together, females huddle 
together and harmonise their reproductive cycles, producing more young 
than they would if they were alone.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Experts believe this behaviour is a primitive example of female cooperation.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Female
 American cockroaches can produce eggs by parthenogenesis, which is a 
type of asexual reproduction, according to research by Hokkaido 
University in Japan.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Their offspring develop from the maternal egg alone so are always female but they survive and can produce offspring themselves.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
In
 November 2014, researchers at North Carolina State University fitted 
cockroaches with electrical backpacks complete with tiny microphones 
capable of detecting faint sounds.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
The 
idea is that cyborg cockroaches, or ‘biobots’, could enter crumpled 
buildings hit by earthquakes, for example, and help emergency workers 
find survivors.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
‘In a collapsed 
building, sound is the best way to find survivors,’ said Alper Bozkurt, 
an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at North 
Carolina State University.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">

North Carolina State University 
researchers have developed technology that allows cockroaches (pictured)
 to pick up sounds with small microphones and seek out the source of the
 sound. They could be used in emergency situations to detect survivors</div>
<div class="imageCaption">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
‘The
 goal is to use the biobots with high-resolution microphones to 
differentiate between sounds that matter - like people calling for help -
 from sounds that don't matter - like a leaking pipe. </div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
‘Once
 we've identified sounds that matter, we can use the biobots equipped 
with microphone arrays to zero-in on where those sounds are coming 
from.’</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
The ‘backpacks’ control the 
robo-roach's movements because they are wired to the insect’s cerci - 
sensory organs that cockroaches usually use to feel if their abdomens 
brush against something.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
By electrically stimulating the cerci, cockroaches can be prompted to move in a certain direction.</div>
In fact, they have been programmed to seek out sound.<br />
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
One type of 'backpack' is equipped with an
 array of three directional microphones to detect the direction of the 
sound and steer the biobot in the right direction towards it.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
Another
 type is fitted with a single microphone to capture sound from any 
direction, which can be wirelessly transmitted, perhaps in the future to
 emergency workers.</div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
They ‘worked well’ 
in lab tests and the experts have developed technology that can be used 
as an ‘invisible fence’ to keep the biobots in a certain area such as a 
disaster area, the researchers announced at the IEEE Sensors 2014 
conference in Valencia, Spain. </div>
