...plenty of alternatives. More than 500 music events of various dimensions have sprung up in fields and glens across the U.K. in recent years. From the posh or quirky to the uber-green, the small-scale boutique festivals put the emphasis on the experience rather than lineup. And with cheap flights and tickets, Brits are heading to Europe in increasing numbers. It was estimated that half those attending Spain's beach-based Benicassim festival (dubbed Glasto del Sol) were British. And while a Glastonbury ticket costs $305, Serbia's Exit Festival is just $170 including nine days of camping...
...cure-all doesn't come cheap. A cycle of stem-cell treatment generally costs $2,000 to $4,000, including the extraction, surgeries and follow-up. (Canine hip-replacement surgeries, however, can be about four times as expensive.) Robert Harman, Vet-Stem's founder, says that because of the steep price tag, he initially thought wealthy horse owners would be his primary clientele. "Turns out there's not quite the same emotional attachment to horses as in the small-animal world," Harman says. "It used to be if your dog got sick, you just got a new dog. Now people...
Even farther north, within sight of the Tucson suburbs, Dart took us to a wash where walkers dump their incriminating desert gear at the end of their crossing. Thousands of cheap backpacks littered the ground, as did countless soiled sweatshirts, water and whiskey bottles, toothbrushes and socks. Gesturing toward the city, Dart said, "Guide groups are buying $250,000 houses up there just to use as layups for these walkers. People who make their living at this are going to find a way through...
...spike? In retirement communities and suburban culs-de-sac, battery-powered carts are a cheap, energy-efficient way to move around the neighborhood. And in the street, drivers are more likely to thump against the pavement or, worse, collide with a car; more than half the incidents tallied in these studies took place off the golf course. Also, carts are getting faster--some go 25 m.p.h. (40 km/h)--but still often lack basic protections like seat belts or side rails...
...result? The Aptera's drag will be a third of an average car's and less than half of the Prius', which now has the lowest drag in the industry. Cheap technology allowed Fambro to create such an aerodynamic design on a limited budget. For $50,000 Fambro found some off-the-shelf software--the same kind NASA uses to test the drag of its space vehicles. To keep drag as low as possible, for example, the three-wheeled car has no side-view mirrors--the driver has 180° rear visibility with the help of rear-mounted cameras. He estimates...
