More fishy flying things! - (USA)
Two days ago I wrote about an airship that moves through the air like a fish. A few readers sent me e-mails to alert me to the fact that this isn't the first 'airship' to mimic the actions of an underwater creature. It seems that a German group, Festo, has produced at least two similar devices. Their Web site highlights what they call a 'Bionic Learning Network', aimed at using nature's designs to produce machines for human use. How can bionics be used to improve the efficiency and productiv

Gates of Vienna News Feed 11/29/2008 - (USA)
Besides the latest from Mumbai, the most interesting news tonight concerns the BNP. The Labour government’s policy of overt persecution towards the BNP and other dissenters has backfired, and the BNP is gaining in strength. There are a couple of reports below about yesterday’s BNP demonstration in Liverpool, which was mounted as a response to the arrest of three party members for handing out leaflets.Thanks to C.

Nevis Gets A Free Tirebaler Through Canadian Generosity - But Will They Change The Oil? - (USA)
Jump to Comments Tire Bales Are Only 5% Air - What Can We Build With Them? From the Barbados Sanitation Service Authority blog, we learn that the Canadian Government has assisted in providing a tire baler to Nevis. What’s a tire baler? Glad you asked. According to Touch the Earth Construction… “Tire-bales are “big rubber bricks”. They’re made in an hydraulic press, exerting extreme forces to compress approximately 100 tires into a “brick” 2-1/2' x 5' x 5', weighing ~2,000#, wrapped with (5) .113

Energy Star products allow home owners to receive federal tax credits of up to $1500 or one third the total purchase price for ins

How To Fix The U.S. Economy - (USA)

Countries that have done this have suffered terrible depressions and the U.S. is headed in that direction. 2. The U.S. Government is responsible for many problems in this economy by not protecting trade.
