No joke: This is the biggest battery breakthrough ever
A pioneer in battery research who already successfully launched a $350 million company to supply batteries to the likes of GE and Chrysler has done it again — only this time, "it" represents the complete reinvention of battery technology as we know it. This technology is in the research phase, but if it can be cost-effectively brought to market — and there's every reason to believe that it could be — it could revolutionize the way we store and transport energy, in the process fully replacing fossil fuels and especially oil. The key to this new technology is that the metals that would normally be solids in a conventional battery have been broken into nano-size particles that are suspended in a liquid. The batteries, known as "semi-solid flow cells," store their power in a black gunk that looks like motor oil, which has earned it the nickname "Cambridge Crude."
Ingen
Ingen (formerly Om) is a modular audio processing system for GNU/Linux audio systems using the Jack audio server and LV2 or LADSPA plugins. Ingen is built around LV2 technology and a strict separation of engine from user interface. The engine is controlled exclusively through a protocol, and can execute as a headless process, with an in-process GUI, or as an LV2 plugin. The GUI can run as a program which communicates over a TCP/IP socket, or as an embeddable LV2 GUI which communicates via LV2 ports. The protocol uses the same Turtle syntax and vocabulary as saved files, though others are possible.

MIT Creates New Energy Source
This is some pretty exciting news. It seems that researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the most prestigious science and engineering schools in the United States, has created a new energy source -- and it's clean and renewable. The odd thing is that the only way you can see this energy source is with a very powerful microscope, because it is created by using nanotechnology. For a few years now, we have been hearing about the possibilities offered by the new field of nanotechnology. Now it looks like the first usable breakthrough has been accomplished.

Self Publishing Your Book
Self-publishing your book used to be equated with career suicide. Among your fellow writers, you'd be branded as a sellout; in the publishing community, you'd be called an idiot for not sending your work to traditional publishing houses. But times have changed, and self-publishing has moved into the mainstream as a legitimate alternative to traditional publishing. This move has turned the book market upside down and offers writers like you three important advantages: keeping your rights to your work, allowing you to choose how your book is published, and giving you control of publishing process from start to finish. To make your first step in self-publishing your book a sure one, you'll need solid information.
Jenni Fagan on getting published
Author Jenni Fagan was recently selected as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists and her book, The Panopticon, featured on for Waterstones 11 – a list of the best debut novels of 2012. She talks to Kirsty Logan about developing ideas through automatic writing... When did you feel comfortable calling yourself a writer? I always thought I was a writer, especially when I was doing utterly crap jobs and unable to imagine actually being published. I began writing at the age of seven: I grew up in local authority care and moved often so writing was my constant.
ENGL2011 Children's Literature
Green Worlds for Children Suzanne Rahn, The Lion and the Unicorn , 19.2 (1995) 149-170 . . . My babe so beautiful! it thrills my heart With tender gladness, thus to look at thee, And think that thou shalt learn far other lore, And in far other scenes! For I was reared In the great city, pent 'mid cloisters dim, And saw nought lovely but the sky and stars.
