Algae From The Ocean May Offer A Sustainable Energy Source Of The Future
“Algae seems to be the only promising sustainable oil source for biodiesel production,” he said. “In my lab, we have several different projects involving algae and we have been trying different ways to grow it. We have already obtained some encouraging results.”
“The Sox fan on the far side near the pole was talking trash from the beginning, so in the 4th inning he gets into it with another Sox fan when he starts talking about the guy in the Thome Jersey’s “family”…then an old guy steps up and off they go…
A good minute goes by with no security, the guy gets owned by a bunch of cubs and sox fans.”
Women prefer men with stubble for love, sex and marriage
“The explanation for the preference is not clear, but experts in human evolution say that that facial hair may be a signal of aggression because it boosts the apparent size of the lower jaw, emphasising the teeth as weapons.”

Feeling powerless leads to expensive purchases“Feeling powerless can trigger strong desires to purchase products that convey high status, according to new research in the Journal of Consumer Research.”
Can exercise make you smarter?
“After 6 months, the brain volume of the aerobic exercising group increased in several areas compared to the other group. Volume increase occurred principally in frontal and temporal areas of the brain involved in executive control and memory processes. The authors do not know what underlying cellular changes might have caused these volume changes. However they suspect, based on animal research, that volume changes may be due to an increased number of blood vessels and an increased number of connections between neurons.”
?Studying the brain behavior leading up to the moment of conscious decision, the researchers identified signals that let them know when the students had decided to move 10 seconds or so before the students knew it themselves. About 70% of the time, the researchers could also predict which button the students would push.?
The brain appears to make up its mind 10 seconds before we become conscious of a decision [an eternity at the speed of thought.]
