15 Jobs You Never Knew Existed

June 2, 2010

Odor Tester

Think your job stinks? Try being an odor tester. These employees test the efficacy of deodorants and

antiperspirants by sniffing subjects’ armpits. Thanks to all of their nosing around, we’re spared the

results of faulty products. Photo courtesy of Nancy Rica Schiff.

IMAX Screen Cleaner

The magnificent, larger-than-life images on IMAX screens wouldn’t be quite as powerful if they were cloaked

in a layer of dirt and dust. Luckily, there are companies dedicated to keeping your viewing experience crystal clear.

According to Michael Quaranto, cofounder of IMAX screen cleaning company 1570 Cinema Services, the biggest

challenge to keeping the screens clean is making sure they’re dust-free (they are so dusty, cleaners usually have

to empty their vacuum two or three times per screen). Photo courtesy of 1570 Cinema Services

Professional Whistler

Believe it or not, you can make a living off whistling while you work. Just ask Henry Brady, a 58-year-old

Welsh whistling performer. “A whistler is an artist just like an actor or musician,” he told FOX News.

“My profession has taken me across the world and allowed me to touch people’s hearts.” To be a professional

whistler, not only do you need talent, Brady also stresses the importance of self-promotionPhoto by Shutterstock.

Giant Tectonic Crack in Africa(Ethiopia) Will Become New Ocean

November 5, 2009
1_22_Earthquake_rift2
In Africa 20 feet wide crack opened in 2005. Some geologists believed then that it would spawn a new ocean. But that view was controversial, and the rift had not been well studied.
A new study involving an international team of scientists and reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters finds the processes creating the rift are nearly identical to what goes on at the bottom of oceans, further indication a new sea is in the region’s future.
The same rift activity is slowly parting the Red Sea, too.
Using newly gathered seismic data from 2005, researchers reconstructed the event to show the rift tore open along its entire 35-mile length in just days. Dabbahu, a volcano at the northern end of the rift, erupted first, then magma pushed up through the middle of the rift area and began “unzipping” the rift in both directions, the researchers explained in a statement today.
“We know that seafloor ridges are created by a similar intrusion of magma into a rift, but we never knew that a huge length of the ridge could break open at once like this,” said Cindy Ebinger, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester and co-author of the study.
The result shows that highly active volcanic boundaries along the edges of tectonic ocean plates may suddenly break apart in large sections, instead of in bits, as the leading theory held. And such sudden large-scale events on land pose a much more serious hazard to populations living near the rift than would several smaller events, Ebinger said.
“The whole point of this study is to learn whether what is happening in Ethiopia is like what is happening at the bottom of the ocean where it’s almost impossible for us to go,” says Ebinger. “We knew that if we could establish that, then Ethiopia would essentially be a unique and superb ocean-ridge laboratory for us. Because of the unprecedented cross-border collaboration behind this research, we now know that the answer is yes, it is analogous.”
2_23_Earthquake_rift3
The African and Arabian plates meet in the remote Afar desert of Northern Ethiopia and have been spreading apart in a rifting process — at a speed of less than 1 inch per year — for the past 30 million years. This rifting formed the 186-mile Afar depression and the Red Sea. The thinking is that the Red Sea will eventually pour into the new sea in a million years or so. The new body of water would connect to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, an arm of the Arabian Sea between Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula and Somalia in eastern Africa.
Atalay Ayele, professor at the Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, led the investigation, gathering seismic data with help from neighboring Eritrea and Ghebrebrhan Ogubazghi, professor at the Eritrea Institute of Technology, and from Yemen with the help of Jamal Sholan of the National Yemen Seismological Observatory Center.

Planetary Motion,Jupiter’s Moons,Human Circulatory System & Air Pressure

5:Planetary Motion

Year of Discovery: 1609

What Is It? The planets orbit the sun not in perfect circles, but in ellipses.

Who Discovered It? Johannes Kepler

Why Is This One of the Greatest?

Even after Copernicus simplified and corrected the structure of the solar system by dis- covering that the sun, not the earth, lay at the center of it, he (like all astronomers before him) assumed that the planets orbited the sun in perfect circles. As a result, errors continued to exist in the predicted position of the planets.
Kepler discovered the concept of the ellipse and proved that planets actually follow slightly elliptical orbits. With this discovery, science was finally presented with an accurate pictures of the  position and mechanics of the solar system. After 400 years of vastly improved technology, our image of how planets move is still the one Kepler created. We haven’t changed or corrected it one bit, and likely never will.

How Was It Discovered?

For 2,000 years, astronomers placed the earth at the center of the universe and assumed that all heavenly bodies moved in perfect circles around it. But predictions using this system never matched actual measurements. Scientists invented epi-circles—small circles that the planets actually rolled around that, themselves, rolled around the great circular orbits for each planet. Still there were errors, so scientists created epi-circles on the epi-circles.
Copernicus discovered that the sun lay at the center of the solar system, but still as- sumed that all planets traveled in perfect circles. Most epi-circles were eliminated, but er- rors in planetary plotting continued.
Johannes Kepler was born in Southern Germany in 1571, 28 years after the release of Copernicus’s discovery. Kepler suffered through a troubled upbringing. His aunt was burned at the stake as a witch. His mother almost suffered the same fate. The boy was often sick and had bad eyesight that glasses could not correct. Still, Kepler enjoyed a brilliant— but again troubled—university career.
In 1597 he took a position as an assistant to Tycho Brahe, famed German astronomer. For decades Tycho had been measuring the position of the planets (especially Mars) with far greater precision than any other European astronomer. When Tycho died in 1601 he left all his notes and tables of planetary readings to Kepler.

Levers and Buoyancy,The Sun Is the Center of the Universe,Human Anatomy & The Law of Falling Objects

November 4, 2009

1:Levers and Buoyancy

Year of Discovery: 260 B.C.

What Is It? The two fundamental principles underlying all physics and engineering.

Who Discovered It? Archimedes

Why Is This One of the  Greatest?

The concepts of buoyancy (water pushes up on an object with a force equal to the weight of water that the object displaces) and of levers (a force pushing down on one side of a lever creates a lifting force on the other side that is proportional to the lengths of the two sides of the lever) lie at the foundation of all quantitative science and engineering. They rep- resent humanity’s earliest breakthroughs in understanding the relationships in the physical world around us and in devising mathematical ways to describe the physical phenomena of the world. Countless engineering and  scientific advances have depended on those two discoveries.

How Was It Discovered?

In 260 B.C. 26-year-old Archimedes studied the two known sciences—astronomy and geometry—in Syracuse, Sicily. One day Archimedes was distracted by four boys playing on the beach with a driftwood plank. They balanced the board over a waist-high rock. One boy straddled one end while his three friends jumped hard onto the other. The lone boy was tossed into the air.
The boys slid the board off-center along their balancing rock so that only one-quarter of it remained on the short side. Three of the boys climbed onto the short, top end. The fourth boy bounded onto the rising long end, crashing it back down to the sand and catapult- ing his three friends into the air.
Archimedes was fascinated. And he determined to understand the principles that so easily allowed a small weight (one boy) to lift a large weight (three boys).
Archimedes used a strip of wood and small wooden blocks to model the boys and their driftwood. He made a triangular block to model their rock. By measuring as he balanced different combinations of weights on each end of the lever (lever came from the Latin word meaning “to lift”), Archimedes realized that levers were an example of one of Euclid’s pro- portions at work. The force (weight) pushing down on each side of the lever had to be pro- portional to the lengths of board on each side of the balance point. He had discovered the mathematical concept of levers, the most common and basic lifting system ever devised.

Fifteen years later, in 245 B.C., Archimedes was ordered by King Hieron to find out whether a goldsmith had cheated the king. Hieron had given the smith a weight of gold and asked him to fashion a solid-gold crown. Even though the crown weighed exactly the same as the original gold, the king suspected that the goldsmith had wrapped a thin layer of gold around some other, cheaper metal inside. Archimedes was ordered to discover whether the crown was solid gold without damaging the crown itself.
It seemed like an impossible task. In a public bathhouse Archimedes noticed his arm floating on the water’s surface. A vague idea began to form in his mind. He pulled his arm completely under the surface. Then he relaxed and it floated back up.
He stood up in the tub. The water level dropped around the tub’s sides. He sat back down. The water level rose.
He lay down. The water rose higher, and he realized that he felt lighter. He stood up. The water level fell and he felt heavier. Water had to be pushing up on his submerged body to make it feel lighter.
He carried a stone and a block of wood of about the same size into the tub and submerged them both. The stone sank, but felt lighter. He had to push the wood down to submerge it. That meant that water pushed up with a force related to the amount of water displaced by the object (the object’s size) rather than to the object’s weight. How heavy the object felt in the water had to relate to the object’s density (how much each unit volume of it weighed).
That showed Archimedes how to answer the king’s question. He returned to the king. The key was density. If the crown was made of some other metal than gold, it could weigh the same but would have a different density and thus occupy a different volume.
The crown and an equal weight of gold were dunked into a bowl of water. The crown displaced more water and was thus shown to be a fake.
More important, Archimedes discovered the principle of buoyancy: Water pushes up on objects with a force equal to the amount of water the objects displace.

Fun Facts: When Archimedes discovered the concept of buoyancy, he leapt form the bath and shouted the word he made famous: “Eureka!” which means “I found it!” That word became the motto of the state of Cali- fornia after the first gold rush miners shouted that they had found gold.
