The Quantum Activist | Documentary film & DVD with Dr. Amit Goswami Graphene-Based Solar Cells Could Yield 60% Efficiency Graphene model by James Hedberg While silicon has long been the standard for commercial solar cells, new research from the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Spain has shown that graphene could prove far more efficient when it comes to transforming light into energy. The study found that unlike silicon, which generates only one current-driving electron for each photon it absorbs, graphene can produce multiple electrons. Though the application of graphene in solar cells is only theoretical, the potential outlined in the study is remarkable; solar cells made with graphene could offer 60% solar cell efficiency – double the widely-regarded maximum efficiency of silicon cells.

ei: What was wrong in apartheid S. Africa is wrong in Palestine Try talking in Boulder, Colorado about Israel’s policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and you might think you had stepped into a time warp: a time when “foreigners” and their religion could be trashed with impunity, colonialism was something to be proudly embraced, and apartheid in South Africa still had supporters. In September, I participated in what was supposed to be a panel discussion following a performance of “My Name is Rachel Corrie.” The play is based on the diaries and emails of 23-year-old Rachel Corrie, who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in the Gaza Strip in March 2003 as she stood to defend a Palestinian home from demolition. The play describes the conditions facing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, whose ability to resist their own destruction was steadily and systematically being undermined by Israel. Today, of course, the situation is much worse. Ida Audeh is a Palestinian from the West Bank who works as a technical editor in Boulder, Colorado.
Safely Detox Fluoride From Your Body As many people already know the commonly used sodium fluoride is extremely toxic, and contrary to mo... As many people already know the commonly used sodium fluoride is extremely toxic, and contrary to most “medical professionals” it is not good for the human body. But if you have become health conscious and stopped drinking fluoridated water, your good right? Yes and No. Sodium fluoride is an accumulative poison. If you are like me, born and raised in a fluoridated city, it has built up in your body. That is a very complicated question. Number one of course is to stop fluoride exposure as much as you can. Second is to start using a sauna regularly. Third, getting enough sunlight daily plays a large role in detoxing the pineal gland. Fourth is getting enough exercise (which also helps regulate melatonin production). * 1 thick slice of lemon* 1 piece of fresh ginger, 2/3? Place lemon and ginger in cup. Using these five methods is very effective!
Amit Goswami: The Self-Aware Universe Water: The Truth behind bio hydration, pH, and water physics | Fractal Experience ~ Energetic Truth …In case any of you would like to pass this along to anyone, or study it more for yourself. I love water! Here is some research I found over the past 3.5 years on water and its behaviors. Much of it is a result from research and thousands of hours experimenting by Dr. Dan Nelson. Some of it is technical, yet it is quite simple. According to the research found: * Apparently water forms in self-cleaning fractal patterns when highly energized! * By raising the “bonding” angle (109+ degrees or so) of the hydrogen bonds to the oxygen itself in the group of water molecules, it then renders a smaller bucky-ball-like geometric sphere of clustered water molecules. ( much quicker, and hydrate the cell (Thus, YOU) MUCH more efficiently and quicker. * The way to loose energy in water: microwaving or piping water. * This particular water contains a structural pH level of 9+, which is alkaline and healthy for the human body nutrition.

Critical Thinking On The Web Top Ten Argument Mapping Tutorials. Six online tutorials in argument mapping, a core requirement for advanced critical thinking.The Skeptic's Dictionary - over 400 definitions and essays. The Fallacy Files by Gary Curtis. What is critical thinking? Nobody said it better than Francis Bacon, back in 1605: For myself, I found that I was fitted for nothing so well as for the study of Truth; as having a mind nimble and versatile enough to catch the resemblances of things … and at the same time steady enough to fix and distinguish their subtler differences; as being gifted by nature with desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and as being a man that neither affects what is new nor admires what is old, and that hates every kind of imposture.

One Hundred Interesting Mathematical Calculations, Number 7: Archive Entry From Brad DeLong's Webjournal One Hundred Interesting Mathematical Calculations, Number 7 One Hundred Interesting Mathematical Calculations, Number 7: Julius Caesar's Last Breath What's the chance that the breath you just inhaled contains at least one air molecule that was in Julius Caesar's last breath--the one in which he said (according to Shakespeare) " Et tu Brute ? Then die Caesar"? Assume that the more than two thousand years that have passed have been enough time for all the molecules in Caesar's last breath to mix evenly in the atmosphere, and that only a trivial amount of the molecules have leaked out into the oceans or the ground. Assume further that there are about 10 44 molecules of air, and about 2 x 10 22 molecules in each breath--yours or Caesar's. That gives a chance of 2 x 10 22 /10 44 = 2x 10 -22 that any one particular molecule you breathe in came from Caesar's last breath. [1-2x10 -22 ] [2x10^22] How to evaluate this?

Sahaja Yoga Meditation Tutorial Guide : Shri Mataji's Invitation - Subtle System Chakra Mapping - There are chakras through out the entire body. To learn how the Subtle System is mapped in the head, torso, hands, arms, legs and feet is estential for growing in Sahaja Yoga. What is amazing is that as one becomes more sensitive to vibrations, these subtle system mapping facts will be proven to the practioner through their own direct experience of their nervous system It is easier first to learn the hands and the main subtle system first. One can also learn the subtle system one chakra at a time. Once the Kundalini is raised, a tingling or hot sensation is usually felt on the hands, head or feet to indicate the area which has and obstruction or problem.The ability to pin point the problem enables more precise treatment and more rapid and effective clearing.

The triumph of jamu European interest in Indonesian traditional healing has had its ups and downs, but in Java jamu reigns supreme, as it has for a long, long time Hans Pols Every morning across Java, women carry baskets on their backs filled with bottles containing liquid mixtures to sell on the street. These intriguing fluids, which the women prepare themselves, are known as jamu, and are traditional Indonesian herbal medicines. The jamu sellers may seem unassuming, but to many these women are walking, talking pharmacies. At the fifth meeting of jamu manufacturers in 2007, President Susilo Bambang Yudoyono appealed to industry representatives to increase their exports. The rise and fall of European interest The trade in herbs and spices, which started in the sixteenth century, made the European diet much tastier. Over the periods of exploration and colonisation, physicians became intrigued by the ways in which disease and ailments were treated. Jamu prevails Inside Indonesia 100: Apr-Jun 2010
About the Tao - Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching La Révolution française : les clubs politiques. L'usage des clubs, initié en Angleterre , était passé en France sous le règne de Louis XVI. Mais, tandis que les Anglais avaient des clubs pour vivre entre hommes, en France ces sociétés ne se substituèrent pas aux salons, n'ôtèrent pas aux femmes le droit de présider à la conversation, et elles furent presque uniquement politiques.
