Why Can't We Get Power From Waves?
Thanks to OIST for sponsoring this video. To learn more, visit
Wave power hasn’t yet made a splash because it’s hard to use waves to spin turbines, and because the sea is a harsh place to build things.
Thanks also to our Patreon patrons and our YouTube members.

To learn more, start your googling with these keywords:
Wave energy converter - a device for turning the mechanical energy of ocean waves into mechanical energy (flow of a substance) or electrical energy
Oscillating water column - an open-bottomed chamber filled with air and water, whose wave action moves the water column up and down like a piston, forcing the air out past a turbine
Attenuator - a long multisegment floating structure oriented parallel to the direction waves travel, where differing heights of waves along the length of the device flex the connections driving hydraulic pumps that can be connected to turbines
Oscillating body - a floating buoy that oscillates with waves, generating electricity within the buoy or by pulling on a generator or by pumping water through a turbine
Overtopping device - a reservoir filled by waves to a height higher the average nearby ocean, into which reservoir water is released, spinning a turbine
Biofouling - undesirable growth of organisms like barnacles and algae on underwater surfaces
Ocean wave - energy passing through water and causing it to move in a circular motion
Turbine - a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel with blades gets hit by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid, and spins (often connected to a magnet that spins)
Induction - the production of an electric current in a wire by movement of a nearby magnetic field

Becoming Interplanetary
This symposium, hosted by Lucianne Walkowicz, the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology at the Library's John W. Kluge Center, featured panel discussions on how current narratives, policies and laws frame human exploration and presence in space. The panels included a diverse group of thought leaders including astrobiologists, anthropologists, policy experts, artists and journalists whose work has relevance to the human exploration of Mars.
The panels included Becoming Interplanetary with Brenda J. Child, Brian Nord, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein and Ashley Shew; Mars on Earth with Dana Burton, Nathalie Cabrol, Bobak Ferdowsi and Margaret Huettl; and Alternative Futurisms with D. Denenge Duyst-Akpem, Willi Lempert, Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo and Ytasha Womack, plus performances by DXTR Splits, SAMMUS and D. Denenge Duyst-Akpem.

The Sorrows of Young Werther
Johann Wolfgang von GOETHE, translated by R. Dillon BOYLAN ( - )
The Sorrows of Young Werther (German, Die Leiden des jungen Werther, originally published as Die Leiden des jungen Werthers) is an epistolary and loosely autobiographical novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, first published in 1774. The story follows the life and sorrows of Werther after he falls desperately in love with a young woman who is married to another. A climactic scene prominently features Goethe's own German translation of a portion of James Macpherson's Ossian cycle of poems, which had originally been presented as translations of ancient works, and was later found to have been written by Macpherson. (Introduction by Wikipedia and Barry Eads)

THE BEATLES - WikiVidi Documentary
The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential music band in history. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963, their enormous popularity first emerged as Beatlemania; as the group's music grew in sophistication, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the band were integral to pop music's evolution into an art form and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s. The Beatles built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over a three-year period from 1960, with Stuart Sutcliffe initially serving as bass player. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and...

MOAA Presents Conversation, Community & ConneXions 2/17/16
The Mayor’s Office on African Affairs (MOAA) hosts its 2016 Black History Month Celebration titled: Conversations, Community & ConneXions.
The event begins with the screening of a short documentary film spearheaded by the Mayor’s Office on African Affairs, titled 'Diaspora in Dialogue: A Profile of Africans in DC' featuring personal stories of African community members living and working in Washington DC. Designed to shine a spotlight on the growing diversity of African immigrants, this film captures first-person accounts of six individuals who come from all walks of life and represent the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Africans that call the District home.
A post-screening panel discussion reflects on the historical and contemporary ties between African and African-American communities, including opportunities created for immigrant communities through the persistent advocacy of the civil rights movement.
