Holocaust by the world
2013-01-01 08:01:00
The Holocaust was a self-perpetuating spiral between Germans, Christians, and Zionists. The Germans started by pushing the Jews to emigrate peacefully, and entered into expensive haavara agreements with Zionists, essentially supplying Jewish emigrants with scarce foreign currency. When local Jews did not respond to haavara calls, Zionists were not eager to admit the “human waste” to the land of the new Jew, and Britain refused them entrance to Palestine. The Germans pushed harder, but other countries closed their borders to refugees. First Switzerland demanded that Germany stamp the Jews’ passports with J, so the Swiss could deny them entrance despite their open border policy with Germany. Then, at the Evian Conference, the other Western countries made it clear to Germany that they didn’t want to have anything to do with Jews, either. For a time, the Germans toyed with the idea of forcible resettlement of Jews, first to Madagascar, then to Siberia, the place later earmarked ...
Solar Yacht Sails Around the World Powered by Nothing More than the Sun
2012-01-25 17:25:00
The World Future Energy Summit has recently finished in Abu Dhabi and for me one of the highlights was the Turanor, an impressive solar powered yacht designed and built by Planet Solar. It is the largest boat of its kind to ever sail and the first to ever circumnavigate the globe powered entirely by the sun. It steadily cruises at an average speed of five knots, but is capable of reaching more than double that on clear, calm, sunny days. The project was conceived by Raphaël Domjan of Switzerland as a method of demonstrating the possibilities that current solar technology holds for clean transportation. The yacht carries a huge rack of Lithium-Ion batteries capable of storing up to three . . . → Read More: Solar Yacht Sails Around the World Powered by Nothing More than the Sun

Football Pitch-Sized Batteries Could Change the World of Renewable Energy
2012-01-10 15:55:00
2011 saw huge advances in solar, wind and other renewable energy sources, and these advancements will continue into 2012. In fact 2012 could be the year that renewable energy sources start to seriously compete with traditional fossil fuels, at least that is the hope in the battle to reduce carbon emissions and our dependence on dwindling oil stocks. However a major problem with renewable energy sources is that they can rarely provide consistent power levels, due to a myriad of factors outside of human control. Eric Wesoff, an industry analyst with Greentech Media, explains that, "A wind farm only works when the blades are spinning. It might have a nameplate capacity of 100 megawatts, but it never puts out that . . . → Read More: Football Pitch-Sized Batteries Could Change the World of Renewable Energy
Joy To The World: Internet Explorer 6 Is Dead!
2012-01-06 12:55:00
If you ask any web developer or website designer, what is the worst problem faced by them, 9 out of 10 will tell you; incompatible browsers. More specifically, people who are stuck on old, deprecated versions of Internet Browsers. Internet Explorer 6 was the default browser bundled with all Windows PC’s and laptops since way back in 2001. This means hundreds of millions of people used IE6 by default. As Opera, Chrome, Safari and Firefox released more advanced and easy to use browsers, there still remained millions of people stuck on IE6, simply because they did not know how to or did not want to switch to an upgraded browser. Microsoft released IE7, IE8 and now IE9, but there still existed computers running the old IE6. Now, finally, after a concerted effort by Microsoft, they can finally announce that the dreaded IE6 is dead. In March 2011, Microsoft launched the site IE6CountDown.com, in an effort to raise awareness of upgrading one’s browser. Here is what the websit...

The World?s Biggest Bargain Is Here
2011-12-17 02:00:00
I was talking with a colleague a few weeks ago and she wondered aloud whether the economic and political chaos in Italy — mainly the result of Europe's ongoing sovereign debt crisis — was creating an opening for bargain-hunting investors. After all, we're talking about the fourth-largest economy in Europe (after Germany, France and the U.K.), an economy that has a fairly impressive industrial base. My initial thought was to steer clear as the open-ended economic crisis in the region could really hurt Italy in 2012, as the county enacts a set of belt-tightening moves. But if you are a regular reader of my articles, then you know I'm an assiduous bargain hunter. So I decided to . . . → Read More: The World’s Biggest Bargain Is Here

Central Banks Around the World Step In
2011-12-01 19:30:00
If you have an incurable disease, your only option may be to treat the symptoms and hope for the best.  This seems to be the strategy underlying today’s coordinated central bank action.  The U.S. Federal Reserve and five other central banks reduced their already-low overnight dollar swap rates to a near-microscopic level. The main beneficiaries are foreign banks, which have a new and cheaper source of short-term liquidity.  A side effect is that the Fed is now lending dollars to non-U.S. banks at a lower rate than it makes cash available to domestic banks.  This oddity will likely be resolved with a lower Discount Rate, probably within days.  Such decisions are not made in a vacuum; recall what happened . . . → Read More: Central Banks Around the World Step In
