In 20 unmissable seconds, Lalonde demonstrates excellent restraint and lets the effects pedal do the work for him as he solos over Mitch Derosier?...
...most abundant forms of unused energy in the environment is the vibrations that are a by-product of motion. Think of the rumblings of a bridge in heavy traffic or even the pulse of a dance floor. That's essentially free movement, and scientists can transform that micromotion into electricity in a number of ways. One should be familiar from high school physics class. A magnet hooked up to be sensitive to vibrations wobbles inside a copper coil, generating a current through electromagnetism. Steve Beeby, an engineer at the University of Southampton in Britain, created a vibration harvester that works...

Placating farmers is particularly important given that rural Malaysia is the National Front's core constituency. And even in the urban areas, Abdullah's renowned blandness could actually help him. "The thing about him is that no one hates him," says Liew Chin Tong...
...Business School, the players will return home for four weeks to research their own business idea. The players will then return to campus and present their ideas to each other in small working groups, according to Roberts. “We’re not going to transform them in the space of six or seven days,” Roberts said. “But the program gives them a sense of [what’s] possible, and that, given the application of some time and analysis, they can get some better insight for the kinds of business ideas...
