In the vast tracts of Australian bushland, there is a little known 'sport' that will shock you... 'Pig dogging' is arguably the cruellest and most brutal form of hunting still permitted in Australia today.
The hunts involve packs of 'pig dogs' who are released by hunters to track, chase and maul a lone wild pig. While 'pig dogs' are often fitted with protective collars and breast plates to stop them from being gored by trapped pigs, wounds and injuries to dogs are common. But the suffering to pigs is immeasurable... In their struggle to escape, terrified pigs are savaged and may even be mauled to death if not found quickly by the human hunter, whose job is to stab them through the heart or shoot them at close range.
Publicly available video evidence (WARNING: extremely graphic) shows just how brutal this 'sport' can be. Such cruelty surely contravenes the State animal welfare laws, yet successive Governments continue to turn a blind eye and allow pig dogging to continue.
Animals Australia has long opposed the practice of pig dogging, but efforts to ban the 'sport' have been quashed by the rural hunting lobby. On Tuesday night, ABC's 7.30 program threw a public spotlight onto this dark practice, thanks to our colleague group, Animal Liberation NSW. The evidence aired on national TV was damning.
With media exposure and pressure from newly informed members of the public, the NSW, QLD and NT Governments will be forced to respond. Please sign this urgent letter to outlaw the brutal 'sport' of pig dogging.

Chianti Cecchi is characterised by a red ruby colour, which tends towards granite red when aged. On the nose it is intensely aromatic with notes of violets. On the palate it is well balanced with the classic signature of Chianti which make it such a good match with food.
The Sangiovese in this vintage was generous and of outstanding quality, first as grapes and then as juice, bestowing its Chianti-zone violet and earthy aromas, while at the same time displaying the highest elegance and persistence. This was complemented by the lush fruit of the Merlot, the smoke of the Petit Verdot, and the vibrancy of the Cabernet Sauvignon. There is beautiful choreography in the balance between the velvety tannins and alcohol in this new vintage.
Morellino has a very intense ruby red colour with noticeable purple flecks and a fruity bouquet which is pleasantly refined and typical of this vine. On the palate it has great structure, fine fruit and good balance with fine but pronounced tannins.
Bonizio has a deep and intense colour, it has a complex aroma of Mediterranean herbs. It is complex but has an immediacy and charm that make it immensely attractive.
Natio is characterised by a lively, ruby red colour and a fruity, vinous nose. It is a soft, well-structured and balanced wine with aromatic hints of cherry, blueberry and plum.
The wine is characterised by a clear and intense ruby red colour. The aroma is full and persistent and is characterised by hints of mature, dark fruit, spices and a slight smoky finish. On the palate it is concentrated and elegant with supple tannins.
A white wine with unmistakable traces of succulent summer fruits. Rich, but with a great backbone of freshness. Fragrant and mineral on the finish.
The Cecchi Vino Nobile has a very intense ruby red colour tending towards garnet with age and the aroma has a distinct perfume of violets and sweet violets. The alcohol content makes the aromatic sensation ethereal and prolonged. In the mouth, the Vino Nobile is dry, lightly tannic which hints of vanilla and is beautifully balanced with a deep structure.
Vernaccia is characterised by a light straw colour which tends to become golden with ageing. Its fine persistent aroma has a fresh and harmonious balance with a light aftertaste reminiscent of bitter almonds. It is well structured with well balanced body and acidity.
Zona 8 is unmistakably fresh with traces of succulent summer fruits and a fragrant finish.

Who could forget the murder of Oscar Grant by BART policeman Johannes Mehserle on a platform on Jan. 1, 2009. That murder, caught by other BART passengers on video that quickly went viral, sparked a movement for justice that led to the first conviction of a killer cop in California history.
Because of the work of the Oscar Grant Foundation, an award-winning movie is telling Oscar's story. It's called "Fruitvale Station."

Home Proposal Information Sponsor Forms & Applications
eRA: Electronic Research Administration
Continuing Education & Training
Administrative Staff at the departmental, center or unit level, provide administrative support for one or more sponsored projects. Included in the Administrative Staff category is a wide variety of duties and position titles, including administrative director, administrator, accounts manager staff accountant, bookkeeper, administrative assistant, assistant to, secretary, etc.
With respect to management of sponsored accounts, Departmental Administrative Staff may have signature authority if delegated in writing by the Principal Investigator, or have other functional roles for sponsored programs. Signature authority for the Principal Investigator may NOT be delegated in the case of the University Proposal Sign-Off Form. Functional roles may include the preparation of budgets, completion and processing of financial, procurement, human resource and other electronic and paper transaction documents, etc. Normally, a department will delegate only a few Department Administrative Staff with signature authority, but numerous individuals will have a functional role with respect to sponsored programs.
Because the person with signature authority monitors documents completed by other staff, an "approver" cannot be the same person as a "preparer". If there is a shortage of Departmental Administrative Staff in a department, "approver" status should be elevated to that of Principal Investigator or Department/Unit Head.
Departmental Administrative Staff report directly to their supervisor(s) in the department (e.g., chair, unit head, unit or departmental administrator, principal investigator, etc.).
If the Principal Investigator's unit lacks Departmental Administrative Staff for proposal preparation or other sponsored programs administration requirements, he/she assumes these responsibilities or seeks support from the respective Department/Unit Head or Dean.
Proposal Budget
Departmental Administrative Staff:
Technical Proposal
Departmental Administrative Staff support Principal Investigators in formatting, typing or editing technical proposals, and are famiiar with major sponsor proposal requirements, to ensure proposal meets institutional and agency submission requirements.
Regulatory Requirements
Proposal Routing Process
Department Administrative Staff::
Proposal Dissemination and Tracking
Departmental Administrative Staff recommend the use of a contingent account when necessary, may assist in the preparation of the required forms and identify the alternate account to be used.
Negotiations with Sponsor
Departmental Administrative Staff assist the Principal Investigator, as needed, in negotiations with sponsors on project scope and budget.
Acceptance of Award
Departmental Administrative Staff, in conjunction with the Principal Investigator, review the internal Notice of Award (which stipulates the approved budget and terms and conditions of the award), and will notify ORPA if there are any comments, questions or corrections.
Department Administrative Staff maintain a departmental award database, or use COEUS for tracking awards.
Departmental Administrative Staff should reference the Sponsored Programs Compliance web site, attend departmental research administration meetings, or contact the appropriate university offices to obtain information about rules and requirements governing sponsored funding. Departmental Administrative Staff have a responsibility to keep current on and inform department faculty with respect to such rules and requirements (e.g., subscribe to ORPA-L). (In time, Departmental Administrative Staff will maintain CLASP certification by satisfying continuous learning requirements.) If the Principal Investigator's unit lacks Departmental Administrative Staff for project management or other sponsored programs administration requirements, he/she assumes these responsibilities or seeks support from the respective Department/Unit Head or Dean.
Conduct of the Research
Develop and Implement a Small Business Plan
Departmental Administrative Staff :
Budget Management (while the Principal Investigator retains primary responsibility for financial accountability, the Principal Investigator or the Department/Unit Head can delegate an authorized representative to act on his or her behalf for account/project management. Therefore, Departmental Administrative Staff may undertake most of the responsibilities outlined in the Roles and Responsibilities of the Principal Investigator - Budget Management. In any event, accounts must be managed by persons trained in these responsibilities.)
Program Income
Effort Reporting
Departmental Administrative Staff assist with the preparation and verification of documents and provide information to ORACS on effort certification (Plan Confirmation).
Project Closure
Regulatory Compliance

Hi there,
I have had smallish infestations of Japanese Beetles the last 2 years.
I have some bush roses which were the attraction in the first place.
I am just looking for non-chemical, or safer chemical treatments or tips to keep these buggers from eating my bean leafs and rose bushes!
A lot of people have said to get rid of the roses but they are one of my VERY FAVORITE things. So this year I just picked them off by hand.
I am sure there are grubs in the soil ready to come out this year in June. I plan on picking by hand again, but have heard a rumor about Milk Weed spore or milky spore or something like that - you sprinkle it on the soil.
Thanks for your help in advance - sorry if this is posted somewhere else by someone else.

Why the TSA Is Right, and Markey and Schumer Are Wrong, About the Little Knives
TSA ... might not be willing to admit it, but they seem to have come to terms with two simple truths.The first is that a potentially deadly sharp object -- a knife, if you will -- can be improvised from virtually anything, including no shortage of materials found on airplanes. Even a child knows this....The second truth is that, from a terrorist's standpoint, the September 11th blueprint is no longer a useful strategy....Conventional wisdom holds that the attacks succeeded because 19 hijackers took advantage of a weakness in airport security by smuggling boxcutters onto jetliners. And conventional wisdom is wrong.What the men actually took advantage of was a weakness in our thinking, and our presumptions of what a hijacking was, and how one would be expected to unfold, based on the decades-long track record of hijackings.
"Now is not the time for reduced vigilance," he said in a statement, "or to place additional burdens on TSA agents who should be looking for dangerous items, not wasting time measuring the length of a knife blade."
Patrick Smith makes the sanity-restoring counter point:"In the confined environment of an airplane, even a small blade in the hands of a terrorist can lead to disaster."
We need to get past the emotionally charged style of security-think that ultimately makes us less safe. These new measures are sensible, and meanwhile TSA can, or should, concentrate or more potent threats to safety -- your safety as well as mine -- such as bombs and explosives.As does former TSA director Kip Hawley, here. Meanwhile politicians who give in to fraidy-cat reactions make it harder ever to evolve a sustainable security policy. That would be one in which we guard against the most catastrophic threats -- in the airlines' case, onboard explosions -- and concentrate on dangerous people -- while accepting other risks as the price of a free, non-police-state life. The politicians now fretting about the TSA have slowed the process of restoring normal free American life.

"Thank you so much for the incredible Pedal Power program. My son just finished his last day of the program at La Colina: he was so sad it was over. Before Pedal Power he was apprehensive about bike riding and not entirely comfortable. He summed it up perfectly today, as he said, "before I liked my bike, but now I love biking!" He is a much safer and confident rider: thanks to the amazing teachers! They did an amazing job teaching, encouraging and inspiring the kids." Kathy Mintzer (La Colina Junior High)

Condensation Prevention
Socket seems to be the only way to go nowadays. Be it socket 370, socket A or socket 462 (Pentium4). For some, cooling a socket CPU is not a big thing but for us overclockers its a different story. With overclocking comes increasing the FSB, changing the multipliers, and increasing the core voltage as well. And with that comes HEAT. Especially for the AMD chips which generate a lot of heat. Now, we can go...

Hammons Student Center/Plaster Sports Complex:
Over the past few years, the University has received numerous threatening calls regarding the placement of explosives in our campus buildings. The timing of these bomb threats always occurs around mid-term exams and finals week. In anticipation of similar events this year, we are providing information regarding action your staff and employees should take if they receive a bomb threat. Also included are procedures and activities the Safety & Transportation Department is undertaking to deter these interruptions to the University campus.
Most of these threats have been made by telephone, although one was made in writing. In the past, two students were suspended for making one or more bomb threats. One of the two persons received a sentence of imprisonment in addition to a rather large fine. Under State of Missouri Revised Statutes Section 575.090, making a false bomb report is a class D felony.
The Safety & Transportation Department is using several different strategies to deter these activities:
College Deans and Department Heads could assist in this process to deter any further bomb threats by:

Hi! I just wanted to say first off that I commend you for delving into the mysterious world that is poetry. :P
I have to agree with Carole- I liked how this started off, because I really could sense the anticipation. I think, though, that you could play around with structure. You seem to have all the dialogue stay as one line, but I think by breaking them up so they stay the same length as the other lines would not only make the overall visual more appealing, but it would also help emphasize certain points of your poem.
As for ideas? I don't know what you like and don't like, but I think it would be interesting to see you write about insignificant things and make them have more importance, like nifflers or perhaps a certain spell that has some glory to it, like "expelliarmus." But keep writing! It really helps to do so if you want to improve. :)
P.S. I wouldn't mind some reviews from you!
Author's Response: Nagini- Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it! The mysterious world of HP poetry has opened its doors. :P I'll try the out the visual appeal idea- constructive criticism FTW! I've got another idea, and I'm working on it, but I'll give your idea a go when life doesn't tie me down. Thanks again for the review! :D (I'll be around at your work in a mo. :D I've read some of your poems before, but I can't remember whether I've left you a review.)
Thought I should return the favour as you've left so many lovely reviews.
This is an interesting poem. I like the way you start with the 'worn hat dropping' and then Sirius' anxiety because we know he really doesn't want to be in Slytherin, but it must be so very hard to defy your families expectations when you're only eleven. You built up the tension to the moment when the hat shouts its verdict very well.
The only thing I think you could possibly look at is some of the sentence structure. What I mean is that by allowing some lines not to start with capitals, it may help the poem flow better because then you read the lines in one without too much of a pause.
Hmm, you want some ideas? How about poems about the other Marauders' Sortings. I bet Peter would be interesting.
Author's Response: Hi Carole! Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it! :D This really made me smile, 'cause I know I've got LOTS of room to improve. :P I'll attempt to fix the capitalization, I orginally didn't have it written out like that, but Microsoft Word... Hmm... Peter's Sorting... That would be an interesting one- maybe a one-shot would be better than a poem. I guess I'll have to see what time allows. :P Thanks again!!! :D -H.H.

Girl Scouts dedicate outdoor classroom
Longan Elementary's Girl Scout Troop 207 earned the Scouts' prestigious Bronze Award for building and dedicating an outdoor classroom at the school earlier this week. The outdoor classroom includes brand new picnic tables, birdhouses and a flower garden. "[For] the Bronze Project we did the outdoor classroom because the [old] picnic tables, they were really splintery," said Junior Girl Scout Hannah Paulding. "So we fixed the picnic tables with new wood and we made birdhouses." The Bronze Award is the highest honor that a Junior Girl Scout Troop can earn. In order for these fourth- and fifth-grade scouts to earn the award, they must take the time to complete a project that will make a difference in the community. The Girl Scout Council presents the award to troops that, in its estimation, have met the award's criteria. Troop 207 completed the project at the beginning of the month after planning and working on it for an entire school year. Members completed it with the assistance of their troop leaders, Vickie Marandina and Maggie Drilling. "We've been writing down choices about what to do for a long time for the Bronze Project," said Junior Scout Raygan Lukowsky. "This one stuck out because it helped." At the dedication ceremony, the Juniors recited the pledge of allegiance and Girl Scout promise before officially dedicating the site. Longan's principal, Richard Hall, gave the closing remarks, praising the girls for their hard work and dedication. |
VBS seeks blood donations

Tori Amos - Don't Make Me Come to Vegas.
If forums were living things, would this be considered the first cancerous cell? These threads invariably infect most forums, their growth is often uncontrolled, it's never germane to the forum theme, and in aging forums if left unchecked can bog down servers.
GodSmack - Any thing from their collection is great. (Faceless, Awake, etc.)
The old Baldur's Gate soundtrack recently. Ahh, the memories.

The High Violets - Sun Baby
K-Os - Sunday Morning

The past few months I've been listening to a f*ckload of new music to try and keep me busy while I wait for Porcupine Tree's Fear of a Blank Planet.
Stuff from:
Mute Math

Porcupine Tree (back catalog)
L.O.T.R. III on TV
canon rock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8
Three guys on one guitar:
Thats so rad V.Dog.
The most recent CD I bought was Chevelle's "Vena Sera." It's amazing. For people who are already fans of the band - it is by far the best album they have written. For those of you who aren't fans, or are skeptical, go buy it. Every song is amazing.
Other music I'm looking forward to this month is Nine Inch Nails' "Year Zero" and "Fear of a Blank Planet" by Porcupine Tree. If you're a fan of progressive rock, metal and ambient, this is the band for you. Think TOOL mixed with Pink Floyd.

text: The interaction between culture and economy was famously explored by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer by the term 'Kulturindustrie' (The Culture Industry) to describe the production of mass culture and power relations between capitalist producers and mass consumers. Their account is a bleak one, but one that appears to hold continuing relevance, despite being written in 1944. Today, the pervasiveness of network technologies has contributed to the further erosion of the rigid boundaries between high art, mass culture and the economy, resulting in new kinds of cultural production charged with contradictions. On the one hand, the culture industry appears to allow for resistant strategies using digital technologies, but on the other it operates in the service of capital in ever more complex ways. This publication, the fi rst in the DATA browser series, uses the concept of the culture industry as a point of departure, and tests its currency under new conditions.

In our username.Arma2OAProfile under Documents\Arma2 (works with dedicated servers, too) we usually set difficulty settings, disable arcade shit like crosshairs, unit markers on map, etc.
But there is also a very important setting called SetTerrainGrid (wiki) or as stated in config:
Some servers have this set to:
I have two questions:
1) is this a legacy of OFP/A1 and how does it work in A2 (it has to do with LOD switching at different distances or something)?
2) does the command SetTerrainGrid in init.sqs mission file override it?
I'm tired of getting this kind of screenshots for my maps and I dunno what to do? Units are revealed on distant hills, that is particularly damaging in PvP/TvT matches, where units in ambush are exposed...

auto motive
Posted by Dale Buss on May 17, 2012 04:16 PM
Looks like BMW may be coming around to seeing things Audi's way — at least when it comes to advertising in the United States — by adding a light dash of humor to its marketing messaging.
The two German brands are duking it out for global leadership in luxury sales. But two things about their brawl are clear: BMW leads by a big margin in U.S. sales. And Audi leads by a big margin in use of humor in American advertising.
Notably beginning with its highly regarded "Godfather"-style commercial that debuted during the 2008 Super Bowl, Audi regularly has applied humor in its U.S. TV advertising, in part to create a premium image apart from the stuffy "old luxury" positioning of BMW and, especially, Mercedes-Benz.
Now, however, BMW has found the humor muse. In a new TV campaign for the brand's Ultimate Service policy, rather than for any particular vehicle model, BMW features consumers comedically amazed at how little it costs to maintain a BMW with the company's no-cost maintenance program.
Each of the ads has the customer asking, "What are you going to tell me next?" after they're told that the work on their cars is "no cost." In one, a woman thinks the dealership rep is flirting with her, so she holds up her wedding ring. In another, a male customer misreads the situation in a comical way, too.
The approach gives BMW "the opportunity to tell" about Ultimate Service "in a fun and memorable way," Dan Creed, CMO for BMW of North America, told Marketing Daily.
Not to be outdone, Audi also has come out with a humorous new ad:
In this one, for the A6, a little girl says she's convinced that her "Dad is a space alien." The evidence? Clearly a fitness buff, he drinks "green stuff" and walks around in a borg-ish cycling outfit.
But the clincher, in the daughter's eyes, is that Dad "has a space ship." The ad switches to a view of Dad pushing the start button in his A6 as various pieces of electronics snap into place in the cockpit.
Are the brands going down the right path? A recent Phoenix Marketing International study of U.S. automotive marketing found that successful ads for luxury marques typically "have a serious tone," according to consumer surveys.
But BMW won the 2011 U.S. luxury sales crown, and no premium brand has more sales momentum lately than Audi. It's hard to laugh at that kind of success.

I invite the brand managers of both Audi and BMW to participate in a scientifically fair "Who's funnier Audi or BMW drivers?" contest facilitated by us at HumorQ.com (check it out and see if you don't agree that my crowdsifting technique produces accurate and fair results) . With a decent budget and prizes offered by both we could turn the competition into big press.

Apparently, Dutschke thought so too.
He sometimes showed off a card from Mensa, a group for people with high intelligence quotients, according to Laura Curtis, who worked with Dutschke at the insurance company.
"A lot of the people in the office thought he was odd," she said, adding that she liked him.
"I knew he was a genius, and you know how geniuses act a little different," she said.

Staff at the University of Newcastle Library have received international recognition for their work in developing a unique online teaching program which is accessible via the Internet.
The Endnote Online Tutorial has been added to the PRIMO database (Peer Review Instructional Materials Online) by the American Library Association and the Association of College and Research Libraries.
The PRIMO database is used by libraries all over the world to teach people about discovering, accessing and evaluating information in networked computer environments.
The University of Newcastle contribution is the only tutorial included on the PRIMO database to teach people about Endnote, a Thomson Scientific commercial software program.
University Librarian, Greg Anderson, said the Endnote Online Tutorial was developed by Library staff including Debbie Booth, Michael Carr, Susan Day, Helen Lloyd and Ann Stokes, in response to significant demand for training sessions in the use of the Endnote software program.
"Endnote is used by staff and students to assist in the management of references, in-text citations and bibliographies in assignments and papers," he said.
"We found that so many students wanted to use the software that we were unable to keep up with demand for training so to provide flexibility for the students and to take the pressure off staff we designed the Endnote Online Tutorial.
"One of the biggest advantages of the online tutorial is that it allows people to teach themselves at their own pace, choice of time and location.
"It is not just University of Newcastle students and staff who can use the system. Anyone with access to the internet can use it and it can be regularly updated following any upgrades to the Endnote software."
To be included in the PRIMO database, instruction materials are nominated and reviewed by a panel of experts against stringent selection criteria.
"The standard of materials included in PRIMO is very high and the inclusion of the Endnote Online Tutorial on such a prestigious database is a great achievement for the staff involved in its design and the University," Greg Anderson said.

Precious metal
A precious metal is a rare, naturally occurring metallic chemical element of high economic value. Chemically, the precious metals are less reactive than most elements. They are usually ductile and have a high lustre. Historically, precious metals were important as currency but are now regarded mainly as investment and industrial commodities. Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium each have an ISO 4217 currency code.
The best-known precious metals are the coinage metals, gold and silver. While both have industrial uses, they are better known for their uses in art, jewellery and coinage. Other precious metals include the platinum group metals: ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum, of which platinum is the most widely traded.[1]
The demand for precious metals is driven not only by their practical use but also by their role as investments and a store of value. Historically, precious metals have commanded much higher prices than common industrial metals.
A metal is deemed to be precious if it is rare. The discovery of new sources of ore or improvements in mining or refining processes may cause the value of a precious metal to diminish. The status of a "precious" metal can also be determined by high demand or market value. Precious metals in bulk form are known as bullion and are traded on commodity markets. Bullion metals may be cast into ingots or minted into coins. The defining attribute of bullion is that it is valued by its mass and purity rather than by a face value as money.[2]
Purity and mass[edit]
The level of purity varies from issue to issue. "Three nines" (99.9%) purity is common. The purest mass-produced bullion coins are in the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series, which go up to 99.999% purity. Note that a 100% pure bullion is impossible, as absolute purity in extracted and refined metals is asymptotically approached.[citation needed] Historically, coins had a certain amount of weight of alloy, with the purity a local standard. The Krugerrand is the first modern example of measuring in "pure gold"; it should contain at least 12/11 ounces of at least 11/12 pure gold. Still more bullion coins (for example: British Sovereign) state neither the purity nor the fine-gold weight on the coin but are recognized and consistent in their composition,[citation needed] and many historically stated a denomination in currency (example: American Double Eagle).
Many nations mint bullion coins. Although nominally issued as legal tender, these coins' face value as currency is far below that of their value as bullion. For instance, Canada mints a gold bullion coin (the Gold Maple Leaf) at a face value of $50 containing one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold—as of May 2011, this coin is worth about $1,500 CAD as bullion.[3] Bullion coins' minting by national governments gives them some numismatic value in addition to their bullion value, as well as certifying their purity.
One of the largest bullion coins in the world is the 10,000 dollar Australian Gold Nugget coin minted in Australia which consists of a full kilogram of 99.9% pure gold. There have been a small number of larger bullion coins, but they are impractical to handle and not produced in mass quantities. China has produced coins in very limited quantities (less than 20 pieces minted) that exceed 260 troy ounces (8 kg) of gold.[citation needed] Austria has minted a coin containing 31 kg of gold (the Vienna Philharmonic Coin minted in 2004 with a face value of 100,000 euro). As a stunt to publicise the 99.999% pure one-ounce Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series, in 2007 the Royal Canadian Mint made a 100 kg 99.999% gold coin, with a face value of $1 million, and now manufactures them to order, but at a substantial premium over the market value of the gold.[4]
Economic use[edit]
Gold and silver, and sometimes other precious metals, are often seen as hedges against both inflation and economic downturn. Silver coins have become popular with collectors due to their relative affordability, and, unlike most gold and platinum issues which are valued based upon the markets, silver issues are more often valued as collectables, far higher than their actual bullion value.
An initially precious metal that became common is aluminium. While aluminum is the third most abundant element and most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, it was at first found to be exceedingly difficult to extract the metal from its various non-metallic ores. The great expense to refine the metal made the small quantity of pure aluminum more valuable than gold.[5] Bars of aluminum were exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1855,[6] and Napoleon III's most important guests were given aluminum cutlery, while those less worthy dined with mere silver.[5] In 1884, the pyramidal capstone of the Washington Monument was cast of 100 ounces of pure aluminum. By that time, aluminum was as expensive as silver.[7] Over time, however, the price of the metal has dropped. The dawn of commercial electric generation in 1882, and the invention of the Hall–Héroult process in 1886 caused the artificially high price of aluminum to drop over a short period of time.
Bismuth and tellurium[edit]
Bismuth and tellurium are the only two metals which have abundances less than 10-8 by mass part (g/g) in the Earth's crust, but which are currently not of high economic value.[citation needed]

The container, a big standardized box that moves easily from truck to ship to train, is the unsung hero of the global economy. It was invented in the 1950s and dramatically reduced shipping costs, ushering in a new era vastly different than the world retired stevedores remember. There's a whole lot more about what it takes to make a simple T-shirt — the journey from cotton to completion — here.

Ray-Ban Ultra Gold
Filed under: Apparel
Aviator sunglasses are a classic design -- and it seems people either love 'em or hate 'em. If you're on the "love 'em" side then here's some news you'll probably like: Ray-Ban Ultra Gold Limited Edition glasses. There are only two different designs, features including ultra light titanium frames, P3 polarized lenses, anti-reflective coating, a cool hydrophobic moisture-wicking coating, and of course gold -- in the form of 22k gold plating. The "limited edition" refers to the fact that only 25,000 pairs of Ultra Gold glasses are being made, so if you get a pair you've legitimately earned the right to sport the popular "I'm too cool for you" aviator face while you wear them.
