Over and over, flip-flopping down, sideways, fishtailing-swandiving, Reggie Younging down down down. On your back, watching the sky and the two hawks seesawing on the updraft off the cliff, and the rude shock of the pool's liquid ice closing out the sky, and the clawing back up out of the water and up the trail. Nerves on millions of little trampolines, many falling off and breaking their necks. Tingles, rushes and fades...
...find out if the extracts might also be effective against viruses. Since 1974 they have examined for antiviral properties 29 varieties of red algae common to northern California waters. Each variety was washed in distilled water, dried, boiled and homogenized in a blender. A 1 % solution of the resulting liquid extract was applied to human cells that were then inoculated with type I or type II herpes. The solution proved 99% effective in stopping viral multiplication. When the solution was applied to cells already infected with herpes, the spread of the virus was reduced by 50%. While the extract...
...about $40 each, and sales are expected to more than double this year. The bin is merely a 3-ft.-high plastic cylinder, specially ventilated for turning garden and kitchen wastes quickly into compost. Students at the University of Miami enjoy almost instant tomatoes hydroponically grown by pouring liquid fertilizer into baskets filled with wood shavings outside their dorm windows. "Tomato rings"-wire-mesh cages about 4 ft. wide and 6 ft. high containing beds of grass clippings, table scraps and leaves-are popular for growing a variety of vegetables...
Their own engineers did not let the watchmakers down. The first quartz-based wristwatch was produced in Neuchatel in 1967, and Switzerland's chemical industry led in developing the liquid crystal displays used in many digital watches. But U.S. manufacturers got a technological lead, using miniaturization techniques largely developed for the space program, and began mass production that sent prices tumbling. Texas Instruments recently announced that it will market a digital watch for $20. Swiss watchmakers had held back, believing digital timepieces would be only...
...been here long enough; I think I'll be going somewhere else, if you don't mind.' " Thus read the March 17, 1926 entry from the diary of Dr. Robert H. Goddard, an obscure physics professor and engineer. The day before, Goddard had launched the first liquid-fueled rocket from a field on his Aunt Effie's farm near Auburn, Mass. The 2½ sec. flight carried the rocket to a height of only 41 ft. and a speed of 60 m.p.h. But it convinced Goddard that the science of rocketry would one day land...
