Physicists unveil a theory for a new kind of superconductivity
(PhysOrg.com) -- In this 100th anniversary year of the discovery of superconductivity, physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology have published a fully self-consistent theory of the new kind of superconducting behavior, Type 1.5, this month in the journal Physical Review B. In three recent papers, the authors report on their detailed investigations to show that a Type 1.5 superconducting state is indeed possible in a class of materials called multiband superconductors. For years, most physicists believed that superconductors must be either Type I or Type II. Type 1.5 superconductivity is the subject of intense debate because until now there was no theory to connect the physics with micro-scale properties of real materials, say Egor Babaev of UMass Amherst, currently a fellow at the technology institute in Stockholm, with Mikhail Silaev, a postdoctoral researcher there.

Dinosaur
Dinosaurs are a diverse group of animals of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, 231.4 million years ago, and were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for 135 million years, from the beginning of the Jurassic (about 201 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (66 million years ago), when the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event led to the extinction of most dinosaur groups at the close of the Mesozoic Era. The fossil record indicates that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic Period and, consequently, they are considered a subgroup of dinosaurs by many paleontologists.[1] Some birds survived the extinction event that occurred 66 million years ago, and their descendants continue the dinosaur lineage to the present day.[2] Etymology Definition The common House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is often used to represent modern birds in definitions of the group Dinosauria General description Distinguishing anatomical features

The Second Second Date Story
So the way my father used to tell it, my parents’ second date went something like this: My father was positively smitten after his blind date with my mother, and wanting to spend as much time with her as possible made sure that the activity for date number two was an all-day event. This being Salt Lake City in the 1950s, a day of skiing was just the trick. He picked her up, and together they made their way up the winding Wasatch switchbacks in his new Ford Crestliner. He was trying to impress this young woman he was already falling in love with, and that made his directional incompetence all that more frustrating; he felt himself start to get angry. Leaning out of his window, he proceeded to inform my father that the small street they shared was one-way and my father needed to turn around. He reached out of the car window, grabbed a side of the man’s walrus mustache in each hand and pulled as hard as he possibly could, pulling much of it right out of the follicles. She nodded.

How to Make the Human Equivalent of Dog Food | mikepedia
For the last three years I have had the idea to create, for lack of better term, dog food for people. A sort of kibble that had all of of your daily nutrients, was simple, and that could just be ‘poured out’ and eaten. It would be simple, cost-effective, and ideally not actually taste like dog food. This past weekend, I have made my vision into reality. Michael’s Muffins were born. The Food: I wanted high protein food that followed the Paleo diet. The Grocery List: Using my favorite list making program and fit day, I put together what an ideal daily diet would require for nutrients, and then went shopping: Boneless, skinless, chicken breastBlueberries1 cup unsalted almonds6 Eggs4 Tomatoesspinach1 Large onion3 Carrots4 Celery shoots10 Asparagus stocks From here on in, it was simply a matter of ensuring the meat and eggs were cooked, and mixing everything together. First, cook the chicken all the way through and then slice it into smaller chunks. Next comes the spinach and tomatoes. The Taste:

Economists: Every $1 of electricity from coal does $2 in damage to U.S.
We all knew coal is harmful — we figured people just ignored that harm because of their profit margins. But according to the prestigious American Economic Review, harm from coal-fired electrical plants costs more than twice as much as the electricity they generate. All told, coal plants cause $53 billion in damage every year. And none of that even takes climate impacts into account. Health effects from coal-fired plants — increased deaths from sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates — comprise more than a quarter of pollution-related damages from U.S. industry. The findings show that, contrary to current political mythology, coal is underregulated.
US solar firms accuses China of dumping solar modules in the US
By Kari Williamson The US-based manufacturers challenge state-subsidised Chinese solar companies, which they say are “inundating the US market with solar cells and panels at dumped prices to systematically secure a higher market share” This action against unfair trade practices could be one of the largest against China in the USA, and is believed to be the first in the field of renewable energy worldwide. Dr. With a large number of subsidies and preferential treatments, the Chinese Government and its state authorities have enabled its solar industry to make price cuts well beyond their own efficiency and to massively expand the export of its goods, SolarWorld says. Documented cases of violations of social, quality and environmental standards that regulate production sites in the US and Germany have also been discovered, according to the petition. SEIA awaits outcome “As global competition intensifies, we will continue to support open markets based on free and fair trade principles.
