Britney's New Videoclip (edited)
This post is for Dekus.
Brtiney has recently produced a new videoclip. The music sucks as usual, but there are some spicy scenes in the videoclip. Here is the normal version of the clip. Someone took the effort to edit the clip and only leave the nude scenes. Here ya go:
Here are the scenes in slowmotion if the other one is too short to come :)
Doctors can’t tell why Mandy Sellars' legs keep expanding
Another one for our bizarre medicine collection.
Doctors can’t tell Mandy Sellars why her legs keep expanding – all they say is that her only option is a drastic amputation. She travelled to the US for a new TV show in search of an alternative...
Doctors can’t tell Mandy Sellars why her legs keep expanding – all they say is that her only option is a drastic amputation. She travelled to the US for a new TV show in search of an alternative... It’s not easy being Mandy Sellars. She has hugely outsized legs that make having a normal life nearly impossible.
People stare whenever she leaves the house, she needs a special car to get around and can’t work full time.
What’s more, her condition is getting worse and doctors say she needs an amputation so severe she won’t be able to sit up.

100% Efficient Solar Cells?
Columbus (OH) - Researchers at Ohio State University have accidentally discovered a new solar cell material capable of absorbing all of the sun's visible light energy. The material is comprised of a hybrid of plastics, molybdenum and titanium. The team discovered it not only fluoresces (as most solar cells do), but also phosphoresces. Electrons in a phosphorescent state remain at a place where they can be "siphoned off" as electricity over 7 million times longer than those generated in a fluorescent state. This combination of materials also utilizes the entire visible spectrum of light energy, translating into a theoretical potential of almost 100% efficiency. Commercial products are still years away, but this foundational work may well pave the way for a truly renewable form of clean, global energy.

I'm skeptic. I thought it was theoretically impossible to get 100% efficiency. There are always losses in conversion. If it's all accurate, this could be very big, if they can manufacture it for a reasonable price that is.

Parking Lot Timelapse
That's a big parking lot. You wonder why they don't make a parking tower, those last people have to walk quite far. Also fun to see how bad some people are at parking.
