...come to make his fortune along the Mekong. "Many students at my university had never even heard of Laos," says the 24-year-old, who with his family has rented a space to sell mainland products at China Business and Goods City, an $18 million wholesale market and shopping complex that just opened in Vientiane. "But for traders, it doesn't matter where you go. Everywhere in the world, people need to buy and sell things...
That could hardly be a coincidence, Rudnick thought, and the simplest solution was a great void in space. That would explain why there weren't many radio galaxies in that part of the sky. And microwaves crossing a huge void would lose some of their energy, in a complex process involving the reduced gravity inside. The exciting part is that the void is so huge that current theory simply can't explain it - and astronomers just love this kind of challenge...
...were to drive past Australian science's smartest new toy, it would be easy to mistake the large, circular building at 800 Blackburn Road, Clayton, for just another office complex. But inside, something spectacular is being produced - light a million times brighter than the sun, light to which scientists from around the country are now drawn like moths. They're queuing to use the Australian Synchrotron, the largest such device in the Southern Hemisphere and one of about 40 worldwide. Researchers hope it will provide discoveries and answers across almost every field of science - whether it's seeing how insects...
...nature of work has changed since Hawthorne, so teamwork alone isn't enough. Companies that thrive in the knowledge-driven global economy are spread out, with loose hierarchies, not rigid centralized structures. They depend on complex, constantly changing streams of information that can't be contained by any one source. And the tasks of groups within these firms link them to people within the company and without. The distributed-yet-interconnected character of contemporary work dictates reaching outward, but years of morale-building retreats and consultants persuade us to keep looking...
...founding father of the revolutionary genre of bebop, visionary bandleader Max Roach made percussion a star player. He backed Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker as a teenager, and on seminal recordings ranging from Parker's Ko-Ko to Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool sessions, he created rich, complex, melodic sounds and drove rhythms disturbed by loud bass-drum beats, sudden silences and offbeat riffing. After his hugely successful quintet dissolved in 1956, following the death of his friend and band co-founder, trumpeter Clifford Brown, he tumbled into a severe depression. When he surfaced Roach pushed himself into...
