This is the earth cake with different colored interior layers baked inside each other by Rhiannon of Baking Adventures. And for the record, I lied in the title, the cake isn’t spherical, it’s a hemisphere. That was just me being sensational, and sensation, as I’m sure you’re aware, sells newspapers. Just kidding, little boys in knickers and funny hats yelling ‘EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT’ do. Or at least they used to. Now, can anybody name the different layers represented in the cake? I’ll get you started — the outermost layer is called the crust. Then the mantle, then after that come the other layers we all learned in middle school but nobody remembers the names of.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core (and they were so simple!)
Question by Beata: How to turn foreign inheritance into house purchase in a different country, while avoiding fees and taxes? My dad recently passed away in Poland and left me his condo. Once sold i would like to purchase a house here in the states. Other then physically sneaking the money with me on the plane, is there some way i can transfer the funds electronically, while avoiding conversion and transfer fees… and taxes?
note: I have duel-citizenship, born in Poland / American through naturalization.
Best answer:
Answer by ShimThese fees are mandatory and our obligation to our respective government. You cannot avoid them, perhaps just lessen the amount. Depending on the amount you wish to transfer, you may check with Xoom.. it is very convenient and lesser rate as compared to others. Just make sure you won’t exceed the maximum limit. There is also Ikobo, but charges are high. You may open a business account w/ paypal too..
There are actually a lot of option if you want to transfer electronically.
However, doing it the right way..like bank to bank would be a safer deal. At the same time, you’ll be doing favor for Poland.
Blessings!

We’ve seen HTC’s Windows Phone 8X in many colors and also many carrier variants — it’s already made its way to AT&T and T-Mobile in the US, and many other operators worldwide. Even though there’s already been a heavy dose of coverage on this device, our work isn’t quite done yet: Verizon’s version has finally graced our reviews desk, which means it’s time for us to explain how it differs from the global model, and how it measures up to the competition. The phone will be available in black, red and blue for $ 199 with a two-year commitment, a $ 100 markup over the Nokia Lumia 822. Is it worth the difference in price? Join us after the break as we discuss the merits — and demerits — of Verizon’s newest Windows Phone flagship.

Valve’s hardware beta is apparently getting underway ahead of schedule, as a recent 4chan group interview with company head Gabe Newell revealed that the beta’s already in user testing. Moreover, Newell says that three different controller prototypes are in circulation. He echoes Valve hardware engineer Jeri Ellsworth’s words from earlier this year, saying controllers are yet another step in Valve’s journey with Steam from desktop PC to living room. He also says that the options currently available simply aren’t good enough. “The reason we’re doing controllers is we didn’t think there was enough interesting innovation going on.”
We’ve yet to see any of Valve’s hardware prototypes, but the last word was it shouldn’t be too long before they’re ready for consumption … in one form or another. Be sure to let us know if you spot one!

We’ve all known that iPad prototypes of every shape and size reside inside Apple’s design lab, but few of us believed we’d ever see one on store shelves. Of course, when the rumor machine leapt into top gear, it seemed that Apple had relaxed its legendary stance on “tweener tablets.” Now Tim Cook and chums have whipped the covers from the iPad Mini, it’s time to delve inside.
Given that this is an entirely new product from the company, we thought we’d stack it up against the third and fourth generation iPads — the latter coming out just seven months after we threw down cash on the former. That way, we can identify what compromises and concessions have been made to squeeze the iPad experience into a smaller body. Join us after the break to to take part in the stats extravaganza, but excuse us if we’re a little distracted — we’re still suffering from concussion where Apple kicked all of us third-generation iPad owners in the teeth.
For more from this event, follow along in our liveblog!

According to the Center for Disease Control, 25.8 million Americans (or 8.3 percent of the population) have diabetes, while an estimated 79 million people (aged 20 and older) have prediabetes — making it one of the most pervasive diseases in the U.S. Startups like Rock Health grad Omada Health and Glooko are addressing diabetes head-on, from prevention and intervention to making the lives of those who live with the disease better — through technology.
Glooko launched in late 2011 to bring those with diabetes a better way to collect and view the information they need to control their blood glucose readings, allowing them to download readings from their meter to their smartphone, for example. Essentially, then, Glooko is a digital logbook for those who regularly check their blood sugar levels and while you’ll find dozens of such logbooks in the App Store, most of them require the owner to manually enter their blood sugar data.
Glooko is differentiating itself from the pack by attempting to become agnostic to the type of glucose meters people use (of which there are many), allowing a wider and wider set of people to connect their meters to their smartphones. That means that users don’t have to purchase and learn how to use a whole new measurement device.
And today marks an important step forward for the startup in its move toward being device agnostic, as Glooko announced that it is releasing a new version of its “Glooko Logbook” app for iOS devices that supports six additional blood glucose meters, including those from Bayer, Walmart and ARKRAY.
This is especially relevant, as Walmart announced its new “ReliOn” meters back in July with the promise that it would save its customers $ 60 million annually. Supporting Walmart’s brand, Glooko co-founder Sundeep Madra says, goes along with its philosophy of innovating in conjunction with what people are already using. Succeeding in the health care space can mean having to go against what the tech savvy startup mentality would do — if it’s too complicated and too new, too fast, it can be tough to succeed. But Walmart reaches a massive set of the population and by supporting its meter, Glooko is opening itself up to a big audience.
But more importantly, with these new additions, Glooko now supports 17 different blood glucose meters, so now users can just connect their $ 40 Glooko cable to one of those meters and an iOS device and download all their readings into a Logbook with a few clicks. The app also gives users the ability to take notes about carbs, insulin and other wellness factors, and lets them share their logbook summary with their doctors via email or fax.
Plus, Glooko is one of the few mobile apps that actually meets all FDA compliance — a tough measuring stick for many App Store players — which gives it a leg up in the reliability and trustworthiness department.
Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases of our generation, so it’s good to see the startup making progress in helping 25 million Americans to manage their health. And, while this news may seem somewhat incremental, it’s also a sign that the startup is getting closer to meter agnosticism, a critical part of bringing that better health management to all of those 25 million.
Glooko raised $ 3.5 million in series A funding earlier this year from The Social+Capital Partnership, Bill Campbell, Vint Cerf, Judy Estrin and Andy Hertzfeld, Venky Harinarayan, Russell Hirsch and Xtreme Labs.

While Europeans earnestly wait for their pre-ordered pebble blue superphones to appear, a hands-on video from Germany is purportedly showing us a darker, grayer version of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. While the skeptic in us would say it’s just a lighting issue, the back cover looks perceptibly different to the blue-hued slab we spent time with during its big reveal. It looks almost monochromatic — and even shinier, if that’s possible. The color borders on gun-metal gray and we have to admit, we’re already a little smitten. Samsung’s had issues bringing the blueish hue to the masses, so this could turn out to be the new non-white color option. Black and white is a bit played out, so our fingers are crossed that we’ll get to have our pebble-colored cake and eat it. Check out the possible new look in a hands-on video after the break — and bring on the hot pink option.
