Some of the stories in Annie Proulx's latest collection Bad Dirt feel like universal myths, populated by 'every-man' characters. Which is surprising, considering that most of the stories in this collection are given a very specific setting, small-town Wyoming, and are peopled by a whole host of the quirky and characterful personalities that Proulx specialises in. Take 'The Contest', for example.

http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/sr/paradox.html Spacetime diagram This is a spacetime diagram of Vermilion emitting a flash of light. In a spacetime diagram, time goes upward, while space dimensions are horizontal. Really there should be 3 space dimensions, but I've drawn 2 for simplicity. In a spacetime diagram, the units of space and time are chosen so that light goes one unit of distance in one unit of time, i.e. the units are such that the speed of light is one, .

Dawkins: 'a friendly, conversational and forthright tone'. Photograph: Anne Katrin Purkiss/Rex Features Myths and fables are the first Just So stories; they tell us what we would like to know. Science tells us what we may know, along with why and how we may know it.

A few months later, I read an interview with the perennially cutting-edge designer Philippe Starck. What allowed him to remain so consistently ahead of the curve? “I never read any magazines or watch TV,” he said, perhaps a little hyperbolically. “Nor do I go to cocktail parties, dinners or anything like that.” He lived outside conventional ideas, he implied, because “I live alone mostly, in the middle of nowhere.” Around the same time, I noticed that those who part with $2,285 a night to stay in a cliff-top room at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur pay partly for the privilege of not having a TV in their rooms; the future of travel, I’m reliably told, lies in “black-hole resorts,” which charge high prices precisely because you can’t get online in their rooms.

First practical nanogenerator produces electricity with pinch of the fingers

After six years of intensive effort, scientists are reporting development of the first commercially viable nanogenerator, a flexible chip that can use body movements — a finger pinch now en route to a pulse beat in the future — to generate electricity. Speaking here today at the 241st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society, they described boosting the device's power output by thousands times and its voltage by 150 times to finally move it out of the lab and toward everyday life. "This development represents a milestone toward producing portable electronics that can be powered by body movements without the use of batteries or electrical outlets," said lead scientist Zhong Lin Wang, Ph.D.
