Guidelines to avoid investment friction reached -WASHINGTON
2008-03-22 01:33:00 Guidelines to avoid investment friction reached -WASHINGTON  Singapore, Abu Dhabi and US set out principles on sovereign wealth funds By Bhagyashree Garekar, US Correspondent WASHINGTON - THE United States, Singapore and Abu Dhabi have unveiled principles that they hope will help to ease the friction between controversial sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) and the countries that receive investments from them. The principles were agreed upon during a meeting between senior officials from all three countries here on Thursday. It is the first time that a set of principles has emerged to define at one go the ideal behaviour expected of all parties in the equation. SWFs are created by governments to invest the vast budget surpluses of their countries overseas. But the recipient countries often question the motives behind such investments, fearing that the donor nations will try to exert economic and political influence on their shores. The stated intention of the new principles between th...

Florida Friction...POST NUMBER 1500!!
2008-02-16 11:54:00 Yes, that's friction, not fiction. The Red Sox and Curt Schilling are in the midst of what might be called a "Cold War," a war without a sound, even a whisper, a war based on two entirely different courses of action to help his ailing right shoulder, which we all hope will be dependable again, dependable enough to fling a round baseball towards an odd shaped plate at nearly 90 MPH. Right now, that shoulder cannot carry the load. Did Schill sleep on it wrong, and voila, one morning he woke up with a little soreness, a discomfort that stayed way beyond its welcome? Right now we don't know, but there was a great article in this Saturday morning's Boston Globe, penned by the always reliable Gordon Edes. Here's a bit of it, a little food for thought, and I'll be back with a couple comments afterwards..."Here?s why the Red Sox gave Schilling the dough: Good pitching is, and always will be, at a premium.It?s why teams give untold millions to Japanese sensations and Cuban defectors.

Slippery-tape with extremely low friction.
2008-01-29 06:33:00 This tape can be used whenever you want to reduce friction between two surfaces. Like drawers, for instance. The tape is transparent, and is promised to be very tough, so it will not wear down any time soon. The slippery-tape is USD 11:70 per roll of 18'. That should be enough for all the drawers in an average home.

Actor of friction
2008-01-23 19:38:00 I fell asleep at four last night. But, I fell into a deep sleep quickly. School was the same. It’s always the same. I don’t know exactly why I talk about it so much. Probably because about 9-10 hours actually of my day are put into it. Sewing was the same. My machine always screws up. Almost ruined the fabric. In science, I complimented Mr. Gillette on his shirt, since I noticed it was new. He seemed very happy when I did. I wonder if anyone else takes time to notice things like that about him. He seems like such a lonely person. I’m not going to school tomorrow. Because of the funeral. Heidi will probably call my school with some lame excuse like, “cramps.” Pssh. Lots of drama tomorrow, I suppose. I didn’t want to be around it, but I wanted to be at the funeral. I haven’t spoken too much this week. I’m very quiet anyway, so maybe I just became more aware of myself. I’ve been very sad about most things going on. But, that&rsquo...

Hair Removal: Threading, Friction and Epilators
2007-12-28 04:15:00 Friction, Threading and the use of rotating epilators are other methods of hair removal.Friction - Friction is not a very popular method of hair removal although some people find it effective on fine hairs of the legs and arms. In this method, a rough surface, like a mitt or a pumice stone, is used to rub away hair on the skin's surface. A mitt with rough strips on a smooth surface is often used. Friction is inexpensive, fast, basically painless and can be done at home. This also exfoliates and smoothes the skin. Most say this method is good for fine hair on the legs while others use it between shaving or waxing sessions. The effects last a short time, a few hours to a few days and a pigmented area often called the dark 'shadow' is often visible. This can also cause skin irritation if rubbed too hard and is not for use on sensitive areas like the face, arms or bikini area.Threading (Khite) - This method is called khite in Arabic and fatlah in Egyptian. It's not a commonly used m...

Friction On Books : Simple But An Amazing Experiment
2007-10-09 21:47:00 Dave Ansell from The Naked Scientists has an interesting article about frictional force.Here is a part from his article.Using nothing but a tiny bit of friction stick two books together so you can't pull them apart. What you need For this experiment all you will need is a couple of paperback books which are about the same size and thickness. They should survive the experience. What to Do You want to interleave the two books together about 4-5 pages at a time. The quickest way to do this is like a riffle shuffle. When you have fully interleaved the books push them together so there is an overlap of about 2-3cm. The hold the two books by their spines and try to pull them apart. What may Happen You should find that however hard you try you won't be able to pull them apart. What is going on?If you want to learn what is the science behind of it click here
Pearl (hearts): Origins Modern Friction Scrub
2007-09-18 16:12:00 Origins Modern Friction Scrub$36.00Available at: Macys.comMy recent post proclaiming my unending love for Origins Never a Dull Moment face scrub had been up and running for all of seven hours when I got a response from Stiletto Jungle Music Editor and Girl Talk panelist Pearl C. What prompted this quick response? Pearl's equally strong devotion to another Origins scrub: Modern Friction. Here's what Pearl had to say:"Okay, okay, so you love the Never a Dull Moment scrub. I get it. I know ya do. I think I bought it on YOUR rec actually! But... I have stumbled upon something better. I freaking LOVE this stuff," Pearl starts in a tone that, even via e-mail, sounds whipped into a beauty product-induced frenzy. A link to the amazing product in question follows, and Pearl continues her excited testimonial."Modern Friction. Holler. It's a scrub made of rice starch. This stuff is awesome.
