Revcontent Partners With Google For Better User Experience On Mobile

For every second a webpage doesn’t load, a publisher loses a reader and an opportunity to earn revenue through advertising or subscriptions.

Revcontent’s CEO and founder, John Lemp (pictured left), has announced the company’s latest partnership – a strategic initiative with Google to create a better mobile experience for users throughGoogle’s AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) project. Revcontent’s partnership with Google is the latest step in Revcontent’s mission to create a better user experience across the web. With Google AMP pages loading 85% faster than standard mobile web pages, many types of advertisements are not allowed because they slow down load times and create a poor user experience. Revcontent’s technology loads as quickly as AMP pages for a seamless and unintrusive user experience.

India-Pakistan War Timeline: Recent Deadly Attacks Are Just The Latest Between Nuclear Neighbors

BY JASON LE MIERE (International Bussiness Times)

A rising of tensions between India and Pakistan in recent days has led to fears the two neighboring nuclear powers could be heading down a dangerous path to further conflict. Militants who India claims had links to Pakistan attacked an army base in the Indian-controlled region of contested Kashmir last week, killing at least 17 in the deadliest attack on security forces in the area in almost two decades. India retaliated Thursday, carrying out “surgical strikes” on Pakistani-administered Kashmir, claiming to have caused “significant casualties to terrorists.”

While Pakistan downplayed the attacks, the war of words and, more perhaps worryingly, actions continue over the Himalayan region that has been at the heart of three wars between the two countries over the past 69 years.

New Shape-Shifting Materials Let Biomedical Implants Morph Over Time

Shape-shifting materials that can be programmed to morph over time could lead to medical implants that unfold at controlled rates inside the body, a new study finds.

Shape-shifting capabilities can enable a wide range of new applications and extend existing ones, according to the researchers. "Living organisms do it all the time," said study senior author Sergei Sheiko, a materials scientist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Birds change the shape of the wings to enable taking off and landing."

Scientists have developed many different shape-shifting materials over the years, but these usually required an external trigger in order for the structures to change form — for instance, the introduction of light, heat, electricity or acidity. In contrast, there are many situations in which researchers might want an item to change shape without the need for outside cues that could upset a stable environment. For example, "the human body makes a tremendous effort to maintain constant temperature and pH,
