Outdoor Colorado is back-- This week, Mia stopped at Eldorado Canyon State Park, a beautiful park right in Boulder's backyard-- Then, she stopped off at the Cottonwood Farm Pumpkin Patch to get ready for Halloween--
First, is the Rocky Horror Bar Crawl on Friday October 25th starting at 6pm, then is the Haunted Prom Bar Crawl on Saturday October 26th starting at 6pm, followed by the BLOODY Mary Brunch Crawl on Sunday October 27th starting at 11am.
Everywhere you look its Halloween season and Whether you're taking your dressed-up crew out around the neighborhood or staying home to greet eager guys and ghouls, it's important to have a plan to make the most of the most Spooktacular and neighborly night of the year.
Twist-based refrigeration: Twisting and coiling 'twistocaloric' yarns to keep cool -- ScienceDaily
An international team led by researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas and Nankai University in China has discovered a new technology for refrigeration that is based on twisting and untwisting fibers.
In research published in the Oct. 11 issue of the journal Science , they demonstrated twist-based refrigeration using materials as diverse as natural rubber, ordinary fishing line and nickel titanium wire.
"Our group has demonstrated what we call 'twistocaloric cooling' by changing the twist in fibers. We call coolers that use twist changes for refrigeration 'twist fridges,'" said Dr. Ray Baughman, director of the Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute at UT Dallas!

A low-cost passive cooling technology made from a polymer film could be used to passively cool buildings in metropolitan areas, avoiding the need for electricity.
Modern air conditioning systems consume significant amounts of energy to cool buildings during the daytime, generating significant amounts of greenhouse gases responsible for climate change! Popular Science Radio - Home | ERNLive.com www.ernlive.com/show/ ...radio/57 POPULAR SCIENCE RADIO brings you all the newest discoveries and emerging technologies, cutting-edge innovations in science and technology each week. Presented in an interactive, entertaining and easy to understand forum with host, Alan Taylor.!! For example, air conditioning accounts for around 15 percent of total primary energy consumption in the United States and can be as high as 70 percent in extremely hot countries like Saudi Arabia.
Technologies that use radiative cooling to control the temperature of buildings, such as planar multilayered photonic films and hybrid metamaterial films, are attracting considerable attention because they do not use electricity; however, they are complicated and costly to manufacture.

These Kids Have Come 500 Miles To Do Science And Make A Difference
Students from the municipality of La Paz, Arauca and others from Bogota, participating in workshops ... [+] carried out by NGO Lab Al Campo and the 5th regional edition of the Colombiab Clubes de Ciencia.

The road between Arauquita, relatively near Colombia's border with Venezuela, and the nation's capital in Bogota stretches over 800 kilometers (500 miles), but for one week in October, a special group bridged that gap in more ways than one.
Marly Rueda, 18, was among students from the municipality of La Paz, Arauca to attend science workshops run by NGO Lab Al Campo and the fifth regional edition of the Colombian "Clubes de Ciencia" – part of Science Clubs International (SCI) an NGO which runs immersive science workshops!

Big dinosaurs kept cool thanks to blood vessels in their heads | Science News
Massive dinosaurs came in many different forms, but they all had the same problem: Staying cool. Now, fossilized traces of blood vessels in the skulls of big-bodied dinosaurs reveal how different dinos avoided heatstroke!

Long-necked sauropods may have panted to stay cool, for example, while heavily armored ankylosaurs relied on elaborate nasal passages.
Chemical analyses of fossil sauropod teeth previously suggested that, despite their massive bodies, the animals maintained body temperatures similar to those of modern mammals ( SN: 6/23/11 ). One possible explanation for this was thermoregulation, in which blood vessels radiate excess heat, often with the help of evaporative cooling in moist parts of the body, such as the nose and mouth.
To assess how giant dinosaurs might have used thermoregulation, two vertebrate paleontologists from the Ohio Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Studies in Athens mapped blood vessel networks within fossil dinosaur skulls and skulls from dinosaurs' modern relatives, birds and reptiles! COSI www. cosi .org Explore Science . Discover fun! COSI Columbus is a dynamic hands-on science center located in Central Ohio that is fun for all ages.!! The researchers traced the networks in the bones using computed tomography scanning that combines X-rays into 3-D images. Along with data and observations from the modern relatives, those images let the scientists map blood vessel patterns in the ancient animals. Dinosaurs from Diplodocus to Tyrannosaurus rex each evolved their own ways to beat the heat , the team reports October 16 in The Anatomical Record .
