A rare close-up bird’s-eye view of cloud streets, which are created when convection currents cut low-lying cumulus into long, clean strips. According to the video narration, these clouds floated just over the sea surface, stood 300 meters tall and stretched for over 100 kilometers.

| | | Grad Student Invents Gravity Lamp
Submitted by superadmin on Sun, 2008-02-24 10:07. lamp
A U.S. graduate student won second place in a "Greener Gadgets Conference" competition inventing a floor lamp powered by gravity.
The LED lamp, named Gravia, is an acrylic column a little more than 4 feet high. The entire column glows when activated by electricity generated by the slow, silent fall of a mass that spins a rotor.
The light output of 600-800 lumens lasts about four hours.
To "turn on" the lamp, the user moves weights from the bottom to the top of the lamp and into a mass sled near the top. The sled begins its gentle glide down and, within a few seconds, the LEDs are illuminated.
"It's more complicated than flipping a switch," said Moulton, "but can be an acceptable, even enjoyable routine, like winding a beautiful clock or making good coffee."
Moulton estimates Gravia's mechanisms will last more than 200 years.
A patent is pending on the Gravia lamp.

| | | Axe wielding killer on advent calendar
Submitted by superadmin on Sun, 2007-11-11 13:49. axe | calendar | killer
Tourism officials have been slammed for featuring an axe wielding serial killer on a children's Christmas advent calendar.
They defended the move by saying mass murderer Fritz Haarmann was part of the German city of Hanover's history.
The calendar is already on sale at tourism offices and shows children singing Xmas carols and laughing as Santa hands out Xmas gifts - and the Star of Bethlehem twinkles over the rooftops.
But over the first door of the calendar, a trilby wearing man peaks out from behind a tree with a meat cleaver in his left hand.
Haarmann killed 24 young men, chopped up their corpses and dumped their remains in the local river Leine. He appears on the calendar hiding behind a tree on the river bank.
Haarmann stalked the city more than 80 years ago and his victims were aged between 13 and 20. He was sentenced to death and beheaded in 1925.

| | | 1 in 4 homeless are Vietnam veterans
Submitted by superadmin on Sun, 2007-11-11 08:01. homeless | vietnam
Veterans make up one in four homeless people in the United States, though they are only 11 percent of the general adult population, according to a report to be released Thursday.
The Alliance to End Homelessness, a public education nonprofit, based the findings of its report on numbers from Veterans Affairs and the Census Bureau. 2005 data estimated that 194,254 homeless people out of 744,313 on any given night were veterans.
In comparison, the VA says that 20 years ago, the estimated number of veterans who were homeless on any given night was 250,000.
Some advocates say such an early presence of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan at shelters does not bode well for the future. It took roughly a decade for the lives of Vietnam veterans to unravel to the point that they started showing up among the homeless. Advocates worry that intense and repeated deployments leave newer veterans particularly vulnerable.

| | | Ex-prisoner buys back his old cell
Submitted by superadmin on Sun, 2007-11-04 07:12. cell | prisoner
A former prisoner liked his old cell at Melbourne's Pentridge prison so much that he is buying it back.
Graeme Alford, who spent several years in the former Pentridge prison at Coburg, in Melbourne's north, after being convicted of embezzlement and later armed robbery in the 1970s, will buy cell number 43 in the jail's old D Division.
The former prison is being redeveloped into a residential and commercial complex.
Mr Alford's cell, which is in the same section where Ronald Ryan became the last man hanged in Australia, is in a part of the former prison which will be redeveloped into a wine block that will eventually house $50 million worth of rare wines.
Mr Alford, who was educated at Trinity Grammar and Melbourne University, became a barrister.
But his love of gambling and drinking eventually led to his downfall.
He got into debt with bookmakers, so he stole money from his clients' trust funds and was jailed for 16 months in the early 1970s.
A short time after his release from Pentridge prison, Mr Alford took a sawn-off shotgun and attempted to rob the National Bank in Chapel Street, Prahran.
He was sentenced to another stint in jail, this time for seven years.
After leaving prison in 1980, Mr Alford turned his life around, swearing off the booze, writing books and starting a career as a motivational speaker with the help of businessman Bob Ansett.
Mr Alford will sign the sale contract tonight in Melbourne.
