Using Ocean Temperature Differences to Create Renewable Energy
2012-01-25 16:25:00 Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is an idea for creating renewable energy by exploiting the difference in ocean temperatures between the surface and the seabed. The OTEC permit office first opened in 1981 as part of NOAA, America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the marine counterpart to NASA. It was created after the oil price spike of the 1970′s when interest in alternative power sources rose. Oil prices eventually settled and as a result interest in the alternative power sources dwindled, so in 1994, just 13 years later the OTEC office was closed without ever having issued a permit. Good old American bureaucracy. Now, again during times of high oil prices, alternative energy sources are back with vengeance.

Terminology Differences Between a "Bidder" and an "Offeror"
2011-06-27 17:20:00 By: Michael H. Payne Government contractors frequently use incorrect terminology to describe a solicitation. For example, clients often call me and ask why they were not awarded a contract even though they had submitted the lowest bid. The first thing that I ask is whether the solicitation was a Request for Proposals ("RFP"), or an Invitation for Bid ("IFB"). If it was an RFP, the award was probably based on best value and the lowest-priced proposal would not necessarily receive the award. If the solicitation was an IFB, there would be more of a question about why an award was not made to the lowest-priced bidder. Of course, even in sealed bidding the lowest bidder must also be responsive and responsible in order to receive an award, so there can be a valid reason as to why the lowest bidder did not receive the award. The best way to show that you understand the basics of the federal procurement process is to remember that responses to an IFB (sealed bid solici...

Apple outlines call-related differences between Verizon, AT&T iPhones

Egalitarian Beliefs neuter gender differences?
2010-12-27 14:00:00 Example of Neuter Gender Differences One thing that tends to come up ever so often that I can never seem to wrap my head around is the concept about people wanting to 'neuter' gender differences. How is that possible - to neuter gender differences? It isn't as far as I know. By the time we are a young child we tend to realize the differences, and everyone acknowledges them for the rest of our lives. There is no way to 'neuter' this. I have to admit some complementarian views do make me giggle when they speak about egalitarians views of the human race. I realize it makes others upset, but to me its so ridiculous I find it rather humorous. You see, when people are truly committed and consistent egalitarians, they have to defend their denial of essential differences. In doing so, they will advocate a education system in the home, church, and society which neutralizes any assumption of differences between the sexes. In doing so, men will not be trained to b...

Gender Equality denies differences between male and female!
2010-08-13 22:19:00 I just finished Woman this is WAR! By Jocelyn Andersen author of another book called, Woman Submit! It was Chapter 20 called, Smokescreens, Mantras and Slogans that truly resonated with me today. I think that is because we see these parroted statements all the time, and yet there is no foundation to it. In fact if you truly stop to hear the statements, and not just take some ?organization? or ?authors? word for it? You can see and feel the twists and turns they take to make a point out of pretty much lies. Gender Equality denies differences between male and female! From the time we are born it doesn?t take your parents to point it out to you that there are indeed differences. I mean seriously? What a silly statement! There are intrinsic differences between the genders that would be impossible for anyone to change. You can deny it all you want to, but with most people if you do claim this? They are going to wonder about your sanity. CB...

Say No to Cigarettes and the Differences between Illegal Drugs and Nicotine
2010-05-22 20:59:00 There is a lot of propaganda against the use of drugs, but surprisingly comparatively little and less severe against the use of cigarettes, especially despite the fact we are clearly aware of its dangers along with its high level of addictiveness. What might be the reason for such preference and biased and unequal treatment?The argument is often brought up that tobacco is legal, while the other kinds of drugs are illegal. But legality can be akin to fashion: It changes according to the seasons. Once alcohol used to be illegal and drugs were tolerated. Birth control pills and condoms used to be illegal until their use was finally admitted. Abortion is still a crucial and controversial issue where not only countries but both states and people are thoroughly divided. Not to mention gay marriage, of course, where legality often becomes mixed up with morality.Another point concerning illegal drugs is its apparent lack of discrimination: All drugs are judged as equally evil and harmful, w...

China: When Cultural Differences Matter.
2008-11-05 03:20:00 Regular readers know that I am not a big fan of going overboard on the need to know Chinese culture to do the typical business deal. Better to be a good businessperson than to know what color flowers to bring to a funeral. But, in other contexts, like managing an enterprise, or selling consumer products, culture can be everything. An article in today's Wall Street Journal, entitled, "Lenovo Goes Global, but Not Without Strife," does an excellent job in highlighting this. The article is about Lenovo, but it is really about how cultural differences between the West and China can impact the workings of a business. No doubt, anyone who has done much East-West business will be able to relate to at least some of the following: -- "You don't want everyone saying 'Yes, Yes, Yes' all the time," says Mr. Amelio, a brawny former college wrestler. "You want them to be able to smack you upside the head and say 'Hey, I've got a better idea.'" -- Conference calls were difficult as ...

Gender differences seen in brain connections
2008-09-11 04:21:00 Human brains appear to come in at least two flavours: male and female. Now variations in the density of the synapses that connect neurons may help to explain differences in how men and women think. Even when intelligence levels are equal, women and men excel at different cognitive tasks. But although brain size and neuron density differ between the sexes, these don?t seem to correlate with cognitive differences. So, Javier DeFelipe at Complutense University in Madrid, Spain, and colleagues counted the number of synapses instead. The brain tissue they analysed came from the left temporal cortex, a region of the brain involved in emotional and social processing, of four women and four men with epilepsy. The tissue itself was healthy, having been removed to allow doctors to access underlying damaged areas.
