Canada's productivity performance lags behind the U.S. in virtually every instance, regardless of company size, sector, business type or location, notes the report titled The Future of Productivity: Clear choices for a competitive Canada. Productivity is cited as the amount of value (as measured in contribution to GDP) produced per hour worked. A Canadian worker generates $13 less per hour than a U.S. worker, $2 less than an Australian worker and $29 less than a Norwegian worker.

Examines the controversial military program based on Tesla technology - its' possible effects on weather and use in mind control. Based on advances in technology created by Nikola Tesla over a century ago, HAARP - High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project - is a controversial high frequency radio transmitter operated by the US military beaming high level energy into the Earth's upper atmosphere. Ostensibly for ionospheric research, HAARP also locates hidden oil reserves and missile silos around the world. However, critics of HAARP say this technology could blow a massive hole in the upper atmosphere as well as disrupt the subtle magnetic energies of all life on Earth
On the positive side - non military maybes- can we not harness this for the good ? make good weather not bad

So how did Murphy's law come about?
According to George Nichols, another engineer who was present, Murphy,in frustration, blamed the failure on his assistant, saying, "If thatguy has any way of making a mistake, he will." Nichols' account isthat "Murphy's law" came about through conversation among the othermembers of the team. It was condensed to "If it can happen, it willhappen," and named for Murphy in mockery of what Nichols perceived asarrogance on Murphy's part. Others, including Edward Murphy'ssurviving son Robert Murphy, deny Nichols' account, and claim that hisfather's statement was along the lines of "If there's more than oneway to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, thensomebody will do it that way."
Where was Murphy when he formulated his law?
Accounts differ as to the precise origin of Murphy's law. What's knownis that from 1947 to 1949, a project known as MX981 took place on whatis now Edwards Air Force Base to test human tolerance for g-forcesduring rapid deceleration. The tests used a rocket sled mounted on arailroad track with a series of hydraulic brakes at the end.
How did the law become so well known?
The phrase first received public attention during a press conferencein which Stapp was asked how it was that nobody had been severelyinjured during the rocket sled tests. Stapp replied that it wasbecause they took Murphy's Law under consideration. He then summarizedthe law and said that in general, it meant that it was important toconsider all the possibilities before doing a test.
How long did it take for it to catch on?
It took fifteen years for the bikini to be accepted in the UnitedStates. In 1951 bikinis were banned from the Miss World Contest. In1957, however, Brigitte Bardot's bikini in And God Created Womancreated a market for the swimwear in the US, and in 1960, BrianHyland's pop song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"inspired a bikini-buying spree. Finally the bikini caught on, and by1963, the movie Beach Party, starring Annette Funicello and FrankieAvalon, led a wave of films that made the bikini a pop-culture symbol.
Avocado seeds a source of natural color
CHICAGO (UPI) -- U.S. food scientists say avocado seeds, typicallyconsidered waste by growers, could yield a natural orange coloring foruse in future food products.
In a study published by the Institute of Food Technologists,researchers found that crushing avocado seeds along with air generatesan orange color usable as a natural food coloring.
The discovery represents a potential added value for avocado growersand companies that process avocado into oil or food products such asguacamole, the researchers said.
While artificial colors are easy to produce and less expensive,consumer desire for more natural products here has led to an increasedeffort to discover new natural alternatives.
Scientists at Penn State say further research is under way intoutilizing the seeds, which account for 16 percent of the weight of anaverage avocado.

Do video and squeeze pages baffle you? Don't know your HTML from your Javascript?
Couldn't write a lick of code if your life depended on it?
Check out AutoBuildIt site builder at http://autobuilditsite.com
I've just finished testing a new service makes it so drop-dead simple to build any type of online sales... that even a DRUNK MONKEY could click around the screen and ACCIDENTALLY build a site that looks like you've just spent $25,000 on it.
To say it's idiot-proof is an understatement. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can build full- blown marketing sites, video squeeze pages, order forms, delayed 'buy it now' pages, opt-in forms, integrate with social media, run a membership site and affiliate program... and have the whole thing deployed to your own .com live, in minutes.
And best of all? These sites look GOOD. Like, *really* good. No code, no designer, no technical skills needed. Just point, click and you're done.
I've spent the last week testing this service out and I can honestly say there's nothing else that comes close. Lets say you want to split-test a squeeze page. It takes 2 seconds to hit 'duplicate', another 15 seconds to type a new headline, 5 seconds to choose a new design, and a single second to save it. Instantly, that new page is online!
It's so brain-dead fast and easy to build pre-optimized, SEO-ready sites for dominating ANY market, that I'm convinced it's going to single-handedly change the way we build 'direct response' sites for good.
No more trying to force your blog to act like a 'real' website... or outsourcing web work to an expensive programmer/designer. There's nothing to install, either - just log in to your online control panel and go.
So check out AutoBuildIt site builder at <a href="http://autobuilditsite.com">http://autobuilditsite.com</a> and find out more about this great software !

Artificial 'leaf' could make electricity
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say an artificial "leaf" of silicon can use sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen thatcan be fed into fuel cells to make power.
"You drop it in a glass of water and you walk outside and hold it inthe sun, and you'll start to see bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen,"Daniel Nocera, an MIT professor who led the team that invented thedevice, told The Boston Globe.
The leaf could solve a challenge facing solar power of how to storeenergy produced by the sun so it can be used on cloudy days, thenewspaper said Thursday.
Instead of charging a battery, the energy could be stored as oxygenand hydrogen gases to be later combined in fuel cells to generateelectricity, the researchers said.
The next step, Nocera said, is to scale up the technology to produceenough hydrogen and oxygen for a fuel cell to power a car or home.
He likes the invention for its simplicity, he said.
"I don't have to have anything wired up, I don't have to plug it intoanything," he said. "That's what leaves do: They take sunlight andthey make a wireless current -- like what is happening here."

Inexpensive system can disinfect water
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPI) -- A new technology using UV light fromsunlight can disinfect drinking water for large parts of the world'spopulation easily and cheaply, U.S. researchers say.
A team of Purdue University researchers says the system, in whichsunlight is captured by a parabolic reflector and focused onto aUV-transparent pipe through which water flows continuously, could helpthe world's 800 million people who lack safe drinking water.
"We've been working on UV disinfection for about 20 years," Ernest R.Blatchley III, a professor of civil engineering, said in a Purduerelease Thursday. "All of our work up until a couple years ago dealtwith UV systems based on an artificial UV source. What we are workingon more recently is using ultraviolet radiation from the sun."
The researchers say there were motivated to develop a practical,inexpensive water-treatment technology for developing nations.
"The water available for people to drink in many developing countrieshasn't been treated to remove contaminants, including pathogenicmicroorganisms," Blatchley said. "As a result, thousands of childrendie daily from diarrhea and its consequences, including dehydration.
"Half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by people who aresickened by the water they drink."
The researchers say their system, costing less than $100 for materials, was able to inactive E. coli bacteria and that improvementsshould prove effective against other deadly pathogens.
