Interesting Table 2007-05-18 00:18:48
It is a circular table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, doubles its seating capacity, yet astonishingly remains truly circular.
The expansion leaves are stored within the table and, in just four seconds, smoothly and quickly emerge upon rotation, rising and radially expanding outwards as the entire top is turned through 30˚. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded.

Maturing British cheese is a Internet star 2007-04-28 20:39:42
A large English cheddar cheese is now a star of the Internet
, attracting more than 1 million viewers to sit and watch at it as it slowly ripens. The cheese in front of a webcam since last December, the Westcombe cheddar from West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers leaped to public attention in early February and has since attracted viewers from 119 countries.
“The whole idea was to show people how real food is made — and it seems to be working,” cheesemaker Tom Calver said. “It takes a year for the cheese to mature. This is not fast food. It is slow food.”

Predictions of the Year 2000 from The Ladies Home Journal of December 1900 2007-04-23 14:37:44 The Ladies Home Journal
from December
1900, which contained a fascinating article by John Elfreth Watkins, Jr. “What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years”.
Mr. Watkins wrote: “These prophecies will seem strange, almost impossible. Yet, they have come from the most learned and conservative minds in America. To the wisest and most careful men in our greatest institutions of science and learning I have gone, asking each in his turn to forecast for me what, in his opinion, will have been wrought in his own field of investigation before the dawn of 2001 - a century from now. These opinions I have carefully transcribed.
Prediction #9: Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. If there be a battle in China a hundred years hence snapshots of its most striking events will be published in the newspapers an hour later. Even to-day photographs are being telegraphed over short distances. Photographs will reproduce all of Nature’s colors.
Prediction #11: No Mosquitoes nor Fli Read more:Predictions

Pressure of Light Can Move Liquid 2007-03-27 22:21:36 Scientists have figured out how to create a jet of liquid with nothing but the power of light. They shined a laser beam through a soapy liquid, producing a long jet that eventually broke up into droplets.
“Light is actually pushing onto us slightly. This effect is called radiation pressure,” Zhang said.
This gentle pressure generated by photons-particles of light-ordinarily goes unnoticed.
But the liquid used in the new experiment-a soapy mixture-has such an incredibly weak surface that even light can deform it.
It created a phase change that’s a bit like how shampoo turns to soap when you add water, the scientists explained.
The newfound technique might offer a new way to control the flow of fluids through channels thinner than a human hair for biomedical and biotechnological applications, the researchers said.

Wireless fish finders watch 2007-05-21 16:45:40
This is perfect for those that love fishing!
Wireless
fishfinders utilize a revolutionary sensor/transducer called the Remote Sonar Sensor (RSS). The remote sonar sensor weighs approx one ounce and is cast into the water as you would a normal fishing lure using a standard fishing rod/reel. The RSS is completely waterproof. The RSS transmits and receives sonar signals to determine the water depth, the presence of fish and structure and then uses a wireless link to transmit that data to the sonar display.

The police car will never be the same 2007-05-21 15:33:30
The police car will never be the same with the new and sophisticated technology created by Virginia-based company Starchase, now police cars can track criminals by shooting Batman-esque GPS homing devices like darts and stick them to the back of fleeing vehicles. Instead of a frantic pursuit, the pursing police cruiser eases off and allows police headquarters to track the suspect by computer. Police can then move in for a calmer arrest The StarChase system, which the Los Angeles Police Department will test this fall, consists of a laser-guided launcher and a miniaturized GPS tag complete with a radio transmitter and a blob of gummy adhesive. Once stuck to its target, the tag begins transmitting coordinates to a server through an encrypted cellular network. Computers superimpose the GPS data over a map that allows dispatchers to track the vehicle’s every move.
