Transport is a major use of energy, and transport burns most of the world's petroleum. Hydrocarbon fuels produce carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas widely thought to be the chief cause of global climate change, and petroleum-powered engines, especially inefficient ones, create air pollution, including nitrous oxides and particulates (soot). Although vehicles in the United States have been getting cleaner because of environmental regulations, this has been offset by ...

It is important to recognize that in the current national and global media landscape it is nearly impossible for average citizens to place their ideas and opinions on television. Public access organizations have often adopted more action-oriented roles in their respective communities to serve as possibly one of the last venues for local and community oriented programming to be seen and heard. Many organizations serve as protectors of the right to free speech and the value the specific diversities of their constituents, many also strive to include the under-ser ...

The February 1, 1968 unification of the RCN, RCAF and Canadian Army to form the Canadian Armed Forces saw the Alert Wireless Station change its name to Canadian Forces Station Alert (CFS Alert). Its personnel were no longer drawn from the air force or navy, but rather from the Canadian Forces Communication Command. At its peak, CFS Alert had upwards of 215 personnel posted at any one time. The station became a key asset in the global ECHELON network of the US-UK-ANZAC intelligence sharing alliance, with Alert being privy to many secret Soviet communications regarding land-based and sea-based ICBM test launches and ...

The first such satellite was Echo 1, which was put in a 1600 km orbit on August 12, 1960 by the US. It originally had a spherical shape measuring 30 meters with a thin metal-coated plastic hull made of Mylar. It served for testing as a "passive" communication and geodetic satellite. Its international COSPAR number was 6000901 (9th satellite launched in 1960, 1st component). One of the first radio contacts using the satellite was successful at a distance of nearly 4,000 kilometres (between the east coast of the USA and California). By ...

The cave diving community is a global one. Cave diving practice can differ markedly by locality. While most cave divers in the US would balk at the use of any sort of floating polypropylene guideline, 6mm polypropylene line is the norm in UK sumps precisely because it does float - the line is regularly anchored to stones, lead weights, or whatever is needed and the floating keeps it clear of mud and silt. On the continent (Europe), in larger sumps, thinner yet slightly buoyant line is typical. This disagreement illustrates that you ...

Aurobindo Ghosh: (Sanskrit) A prolific Bengali writer and poet, pantheistic philosopher and yoga mystic, widely known as Sri Aurobindo (1872 - 1950). He perceived the modern global crisis as marking a period of transition from a dark age to a more enlightened one, when Hinduism will play a preponderant role. He founded the Auroville community in Pondichery, based on purna (integral) yoga and contributed much to this century's Hindu revival.
