MooPig Incoherent Numbers Division :: "We Have a Million Page-views"

IDK, Maybe We Should Re-take Our Vows
by Pat Darnell  |  June 29, 2014  |  Bryan TX

From an obscure point in time, in an essentially unknown city, on a day like any other day MooPig became a blog. It appeared first in a beta version of blogger provided by Google. That was in 2006. There were no measuring tools provided for blogger in those days. Then sometime in July 2007, stats began being kept by Google for MooPig. In July '07 we had 22,456 "Page-views."

Too much excitement for us!

So we subscribed to Googles measuring tools. Today we passed one million views. What it intrinsically means, I don't know, IDK.

So to put this in perspective, we rely on comparisons. And, like all blogs, we will exaggerate our importance by comparing our page-views to a totally unrelated famous person. For grins and shits, let's say Miley Cyrus posts this note in her "whatever" electronic device and sends it out over the net ...

Cyrus has a heart condition called tachycardia, which is a resting heart rate exceeding normal. In early 2014, Cyrus suffered an allergic reaction to the antibiotic, Cephalexin, prescribed to her to treat a sinus infection. Due to the allergy, Cyrus was hospitalized at a Kansas City hospital (straight out of Y ikki peed ya)..."

Miley Cyrus will get a million page-views as fast as it takes a million fingers to punch in a million "LIKES."

MooPig is a blog about nothing in particular, that is, it does not follow one subject, but rather zigzags, winds, twists, turns, curves, curls, bends, and snakes its merry way around issues and malarkey that catch its attention. About nothing, for nothing, sells nothing, slowest growing rag in the natural world, is our MooPig blogger dot com.

[What MooPig really is:  3000 letters to my six children, who have never read more than 0.01% of it. PD]

BUT WE HAVE A MILLION PAGE-VIEWS! Gosh darn it, that's amazing.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 3627
The spiral galaxy NGC 3627 is located about 30 million light years from Earth. This composite image includes X-ray data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue), infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope (red), and optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Telescope (yellow). The inset shows the central region, which contains a bright X-ray source that is likely powered by material falling onto a supermassive black hole.

A search using archival data from previous Chandra observations of a sample of 62 nearby galaxies has shown that 37 of the galaxies, including NGC 3627, contain X-ray sources in their centers. Most of these sources are likely powered by central supermassive black holes. The survey, which also used data from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxy Survey, found that seven of the 37 sources are new supermassive black hole candidates.

Confirming previous Chandra results, this study finds the fraction of galaxies found to be hosting supermassive black holes is much higher than found with optical searches. This shows the ability of X-ray observations to find black holes in galaxies where relatively low-level black hole activity has either been hidden by obscuring material or washed out by the bright optical light of the galaxy.

Podium Legs -- Air Compression Pants | Podium Legs:
How Podium Legs work

Podium Legs technology isn't like your old compression socks. Compare it instead to a professional recovery massage.

The leg cuffs go from your foot or ankle (depending on your height) all the way up your thigh, with 4 air chambers that fill in sequence, gradually compressing each muscle group in your legs and feet, and then repeating, to increase circulation, and flush the lactic acid from your legs after a tough workout.

Choose from different cycles of 15 minutes each, with multiple power levels, and point massage options for problem areas.

NASA Talk -- Solar Dynamics Observatory

'Ever wondered what a coronal mass ejection looks like?

This multi-wavelength extreme ultraviolet snapshot from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the sun's northern hemisphere in mid-eruption. Different colors in the image represent different gas temperatures. Earth's magnetic field is still reverberating from the solar flare impact on August 3, 2010, which sparked aurorae as far south as Wisconsin and Iowa in the United States. Analysts believe a second solar flare is following behind the first flare and could re-energize the fading geomagnetic storm and spark a new round of Northern Lights.
