...checkpoints. Four Transit tracking and receiving stations in Maine, Minnesota, Hawaii and Point Mugu, Calif., track the satellites as they pass within range, then relay position data to a computer center at Point Mugu. There, projected twelve-hour paths for each satellite are calculated. The future position data is fed back to each satellite, which in turn broadcasts the information at two-minute intervals. A ship equipped with special receivers and computers can then fix its own position by measuring the shifting frequency of the Transit's beeping signals. This Doppler shift, similar to the falling pitch...

In Iran, the sour, thick fermented milk is called mast, and one of the most popular brands is "Mickey Mast." The Greeks know it as oxygala, and it is filmjolk in Sweden. Bulgarians have always had the reputation of being the world's greatest yogurt eaters but, thanks to the energies of a Paris company called Societe Danone, the French, of all people, are taking over the championship.
