A single nanotube serves as all major components of a radio: antenna, tuner, amplifier, and
demodulator. The radio’s extremely small size could enable radical new apps such as radio
controlled devices in the bloodstream, or simply smaller, cheaper, and more efficient cellphones.
Check out what Eric Clapton's "Layla" sounds like through the nanotube

At present, China produces just over 6 Gigawatts (GW) of wind energy, making it 5th in the world for
total wind energy. However, with China’s massive push for 21st Century renewable technologies, we
shouldn’t be surprised if China achieves 100 GW by 2020 say energy experts.

You should skip this movie and rent it if you really need to. Just don't support movies like this
one that take the superhero movie genre into the quality-abyss that would have been ok a few years
ago. If Hancock was made a few years ago, then it would have been taken as ok; but with Iron Man,
Hulk, and the Batman franchises breathing quality back.

Running in the seventh lane, Gay was speeding to the lead in the first turn, but on his 14th stride,
something went wrong. He went airborne, fell, then laid on the ground in pain, grabbing his left
thigh and grimacing.

If your going to pick some kinda of sudden sickness to fake your way out of a court appearance,
don't choose a heart attack because once they check your vitals its a tough one to stick with.

Imagine a store where most of the products are kept in the back. You order from the cashier. The
products can't be sold below a legislated minimum price. And the overwhelming majority are made by
one of three large companies, which also own the store. Surprisingly, few consumers know this is the
set-up.

Often shark bodies are thrown overboard because they take up valuable boat space and have little
value. It’s the fins that are the prize. Of a sharks about 8 fins, only 4-6 of them kept. That
means that an entire shark is often killed for 4 or 6 fins.
