...real Africa? Is it the sunsets and savannahs of Out of Africa (which won Pollack his director's Oscar)? Is it the chaos and savagery of Hotel Rwanda, Last King of Scotland and Blood Diamond? Or is it the white man's shame of Cry Freedom and The Constant Gardener? Minghella knew that No. 1 Ladies' demanded a fresh approach...
Plus, I can tell you why food prices are exponentially increasing. It’s not a growing demand coupled with constant supply (sorry, Mankiw). It’s the athletes who eat their weight in roast beef every night, while HUDS serves the morning’s leftover eggshells to the rest...

I don’t know if that’s ever happened, at least not in my time here.” A strong, sustained disturbance capsized 36 of the 38 boats...
...Atomic Energy Commission found that a 25-micrometer-thick strip of piezoelectric material (the diameter of a thin strand of human hair) could produce about 1 microwatt per raindrop. That's barely noticeable, but it could be enough to power environmental sensors, especially in areas where condensation is constant--like the inside of a nuclear power plant's cooling towers. "When you add up all the materials and costs in powering, battery production and charging you save with [the strips], it really adds up," says Chaillout. A similar technology is being explored by Georgia Tech researchers who developed a piezoelectric...
...copies, and said one student bought a Korean copy for 15 percent of the domestic list price.“Some new editions really do make substantial intellectual improvements, but I would suggest that is the exception not the rule,” Stock said.In certain fields, professors said, constant updating is necessary.“The field of genetics is changing so fast,” said professor of biology Daniel L. Hartl, who assigns his book “Essential Genetics” for the introductory science course he co-teaches. “Pick up the newspaper...
