...wave of strikes, while some owners sold or simply abandoned their plantations. "Many tea plantations became totally unviable," says Shiv K. Saria of Soongachi Tea Industries, which owns five tea farms in northeastern India. Estates went bankrupt because they were selling at below-cost prices and banks wouldn't lend any more...
...power your digital camera, your flashlight or your watch. At 1.5 volts they might be sufficiently powerful, but they don't last long enough. Rather, Happonen hopes first to sell large quantities to the makers of RFID (radio frequency identification) tags, which don't draw constant power and lend themselves to the battery's thinness. RFID tags are the tiny chips that are replacing bar codes. They wirelessly transmit information about themselves, making it easier to track, say, what's in stock in a store. Battery-powered RFID tags can transmit farther than non-battery-powered versions and push RFID...
Inside a room in Dunster House, a sound bellows out of one resident’s lips. It’s not out of the ordinary to hear your neighbors in Dunster—the thinly-lined walls lend themselves to a bit of eavesdropping—but this sound is unlike most.

...some parts of the world, primates are dinner for big cats. In others, they lend a hand to the local flora by eating plants and dribbling seeds around. Primates are certainly crucial to the global food chain, but as Nadler says, it's hard to know what would happen to the larger environment if a few lemur species on Madagascar died off tomorrow - and it's a question that scientists have been working for decades to avoid having to answer. In the last 50 years, only a few primates have been lost to extinction, but some worry the worst...
