Methane-digesting Enzyme
By A.C. Rosenzweig and R.L. Lieberman (Northwestern University) using Argonne National Lab's Advanced Photon Source
Scientists used X-rays at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory to characterize the first enzyme in the pathway that bacteria use to convert methane to methanol. This important breakthrough is helping researchers improve the synthesis of methanol—a process that would make natural gas a viable energy alternative to petroleum.
I was immediately drawn to the modernness of this building's architecture!
Stanley Municipal Services Building
Stanley Municipal Services Building occupies an area of 2,800 sq m. It is a low-rise compact structure built in concrete and brick walls. Opened in early 2006, it provides recreational and cultural facilities for the community. The complex is built with environmental-friendly features such as a glass floor in the courtyard, staggered design to reduce the building mass of the structure, daylight sensors etc. It adopts a simple yet modern design to create an environment fused with the Stanley village-like surrounding. Its open rooftop is built with a garden shaded by timber trellis, offering a fantastic sea view and a spacious outdoor sitting area. There is a courtyard with a design similar to that of a traditional Chinese courtyard house (Si He Yuan). The tempered glass floor in the courtyard also serves as the roof of the integrated hall where skylight penetrates into the hall during the day and lighting inside the hall illuminates the courtyard at night. The common area and integrated hall are managed by Home Affairs Department. The public library, sports centre and rooftop garden are managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

[he died in 1935 in Barnet, aged 73] Melinsky was notable for running a business partnership with Louis Rothman of 5A Pall Mall (that Rothman) in 1917.

Readers Digest classic editions look great on your self. They are only $4.95 apiece at Blue Train Books.
TV Digest in Philadelphia, along with TV Guide in New York City and TV Forecast in Chicago, were purchased by Triangle Publications which then began publishing a national TV magazine in 1953 - the name TV Guide barely won over TV Digest.
The article about new stations for Philadelphia discusses the freeze on new stations imposed by the FCC in 1948 and that Philly was allocated four UHF channels (one designaled for educational use only). It says people were not happy with the UHF allocations because most TV sets would need converters to tune UHF.

This is my third time doing a car shoot. Deff starting to really enjoy it. This is one of three angles I shot at. I'm working on another version of this without the headlights on and just straight white instead of the colored streaks as well. I just wanted to get a lil creative with this one and think it turned out pretty tight. I'm always looking for comments and critiques though!
