Subject: 5 MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE Lesson 1: A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. "Great!"

How to Make a Wind Turbine That Flies - Alexis Madrigal Last week, we met Corwin Hardham, the CEO of Makani Windpower, which is at work on a revolutionary airborne wind turbine. This week, I want you to actually see how the turbine works. Below, you'll find the final two installments of my interview with Hardham and some shots of the actual wing, as they call it. In the first video, Hardham describes the "transformational" turbine, but I think it's worth retracing how far they've come from the original vision. Makani was founded by windsurfers, so their initial designs were modeled on the kites that they knew. They had soft bodies and were very, very light. But Makani's team stuck with it because, as you see in the final segment of my interview with Hardham, they believe they have two key advantages in the long renewable energy future.

Everything You Think You Know About the Collapse of the Soviet Union Is Wrong - By Leon Aron Every revolution is a surprise. Still, the latest Russian Revolution must be counted among the greatest of surprises. In the years leading up to 1991, virtually no Western expert, scholar, official, or politician foresaw the impending collapse of the Soviet Union, and with it one-party dictatorship, the state-owned economy, and the Kremlin's control over its domestic and Eastern European empires. Neither, with one exception, did Soviet dissidents nor, judging by their memoirs, future revolutionaries themselves. When Mikhail Gorbachev became general secretary of the Communist Party in March 1985, none of his contemporaries anticipated a revolutionary crisis. Whence such strangely universal shortsightedness? Were it easier to understand, this collective lapse in judgment could have been safely consigned to a mental file containing other oddities and caprices of the social sciences, and then forgotten. Yes, the stagnation was obvious and worrisome. Nor was America the catalyzing force.

Army Goes Green as Grafenwoehr Net Zero Plans Show Progress Clean Power Published on October 14th, 2012 | by Tina Casey The U.S. Army Net Zero Initiative The Army Net Zero initiative launched in April 2011 with the goal of taking U.S. military facilities off the grid.

Net zero for water and waste might seem a little less obvious as strategic military goals, but water and waste are both critical factors in energy consumption and cost control, particularly when it comes to transportation and resupply issues. Grafenwoehr Net Zero Waste The Army began assessing facilities to lead the Net Zero program in 2010. A recent update on Grafenhwoehr’s net zero progress notes that, since 2010, household solid waste has been reduced by 60 percent, easily beating a short-term goal of ten percent.
