When he heard of similar incidents on the normally safe South Side of Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf mountain, he couldn't resist a wry smile.

...Breeders are constantly looking to produce the highest-quality, highest-yield animals they can. Just as crop farmers create hybrid strains that can resist drought and disease, animal breeders want to target healthy animals that are good milk or meat producers. Cloning such elite stock is one way to maximize their yield...

As water evaporates, it gives up energy, which is then released inside the salt tank. The result of the energy transfer: the water becomes colder as the salt heats up. Pipe water through the slurry into radiators, and the system can heat...
