Rincaro cereals the strange case of double price

March 31, 2008

wheat trebbiato

Why have sometimes cereals, the same day, two different prices, and not one? The market should not level?

If the application the New York Times, and can not find answer. Men least there I can, that everything can be fuorchè un'economista.

The same will try to expose the issue, which interests me because we are behaving as if the Earth could offer indefinitely food, oil, energy. But the availability of these assets is not unlimited, as evidenced by the increasing prices of cereals.

The anomaly of double price of cereals could be a signal to that effect, a sign of crisis. But who knows: even the New York Times knows explain.

Electricity from sciacquone

March 27, 2008

Water sciacquone

Actions the sciacquone and genres electricity. The concept of Benkatine turbines designed by Leviathan Energy is (also) this.

The sciacquone is an untenable vizietto: absorbs one third of consumption of drinking water. What little electricity producibile the flow does not justify certain waste. But Benkatine Turbine is not just that.

This is a micro-turbine to produce electricity installed - at least according to the company - at any hydraulic piping.

Benkatine Turbine uses the same principle that, in hydropower plants, achieves energy from falling water. Cambiano just the scale that in the case of Benkatine turbines are really minimal.

The device can be placed inside the pipes and sewers. And this is his strong point. Consequently, even operating the sciacquone helps to produce electricity. But in this specific case, I do not think its the game worth the candle.

In the early days of April Eurocompact will be introduced on an experimental basis in a high school in Naples and through a monitor kids can see the images of recycling that their refusal is intended.

It supports a geneticist in an article published on Celsias.

The modified DNA is prone to recombine and move to other living beings, especially viruses or bacteria, and through them can penetrate the cells of plants and animals, including humans.

And 'This is the so-called horizontal contamination. It happens often, its incidence is underestimated and could be the cause of new viral diseases and bacterial resistance to antibiotics and medicines that have occurred since the 70 years, from when it started genetic engineering.

It seems that the aircraft while flying over large wind farms, can not be "seen" by radar.

But as the large wind farms hold only limited areas and among their non-neighbours. The "blindness" of radar is very limited in time and space.
