UFOs Over Laoag City Skies on Good Friday
A co-teacher of my aunt from Gabu Laoag city, a barangay located near the coastal areas of Laoag just informed her of an unusual “dancing lights” above our roof and urged her to watch the skies. Just in time I was taking pictures of the moon for it was almost full moon. On the roof I started to focus on the moon and took several shots of it and some dark areas of the sky to test if the camera is sensitive enough to at least capture a single star. There is no noticeable activity whatsover for it was a silent and very warm night.
Take a look of these pics:

Worldwide Air Pollution Barrier Discovered
A “chemical equator,” a 31-mile-(50-kilometer) wide boundary separating the Northern Hemisphere’s dirty air from that of the less polluted Southern Hemisphere has been discovered. A “barrier” that can block air pollution from traveling southward. The discovery is reported in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres.
This “barrier” cannot block everything, however. Chemicals that remain intact in the air on a timescale of around one year will eventually cross the barrier. Carbon Monoxide and aerosols will be kept out but carbon dioxide, will not.
Now we know we have a barrier but the study is just the tip on an iceberg and there remains more questions than answers as of the moment. The implications of this discovery will only be known when atmospheric chemistry and weather interaction is understood.
Daimler Tiny Cars Evolved
The Smart ED as they call it. ED means Electric Drive and can cover 90 miles without recharging.
Daimler started testing an earlier version of the Smart ED since the end of 2007 in London. Daimler will test 100 EDs which runs on lithium-ion batteries. Utility giant RWE will install 500 charging stations scattered along strategic places in Berlin for the testing.
Daimler plans to use “onboard unit” that communicates with the charging station which will contribute to ensuring that the battery is automatically charged with low priced electricity during off-peak periods.
The components are now optimized and ready. Next year the system will initially undergo internal testing and optimization. The two seater smart car will start production at the end of 2009 and plans to market these cars in 37 countries including the US since last January. These beauties will arrive in China starting mid-2009.
Solar Cells can now be painted on steel…
A new photo voltaic paint is being developed in a UK university and a commercial partner and the steel industry. Buildings covered in steel sheets will be generating huge amounts of solar electricity in three years.
These new solar paints have the advantage of being able to absorb across the visible spectrum which makes them more efficient at capturing low radiation light than conventional solar cells which is suited to British climate with many cloudy days.
This paint is made up of a layer of dye and a layer of electrolytes and can be applied as a liquid paste. Altogether, there are four coats of solar paint, a dye-sensitized solar cells, a titanium dioxide layer, an electrolyte layer and finally the protective film layer. These layers are built on top of the others in a successive and rapid manner.
A laboratory built to develop the new solar technology that replicates plant’s photosynthesis will start on October 30th 2008 in Shotton, North Wales.
Mr Stephen Fisher said that Corus was developing the photovoltaic paint as part of its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
“Although typical CO2 emissions per tonne of steel are now around 50% lower than they were 40 years ago, the steel industry is still a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions. We invest significant amounts every year reducing the environmental impact of our processes and work hard to ensure we continuously improve our performance beyond mere compliance.”
iPhone 3G is Environment-Friendly
Are you an iPhone freak? Well worry no more cause Apple made it right this time. I don’t mean about the 50% discount but I’m talking about the environment-friendliness of this slick phone. Apple managed to reduce harmful materials in iPhone 3G according to standards set by the EPA, ISO 14000 and RoHS.

iPhone 3G embodies Apple’s continuing environmental progress. It is designed with the following features to reduce environmental impact:
- PVC-free handset
- PVC-free headphones
- PVC-free USB cable
- Bromine-free printed circuit boards
- Mercury-free LCD display
- Majority of packaging made from post-consumer recycled fiberboard and biobased materials
- Power adapter outperforms strictest global energy efficiency standards
Buy Energy Efficient, Environmentally-Friendly Computer
Is your computing life boring? I guest it’s time for you to shop for a brand new computer. This time you might be thinking of a high performance pc with all the good stuff in it. But wait a second cause you might end up buying an inefficient pc.

The New Ipod Nano is Environment-Friendly
Apple has committed itself to a cleaner and greener environment. Although Apple is being criticized by environmental groups for not being a leader in removing some if not all the toxic chemicals and materials they use in the manufacture of the Ipod Nano.

Plant a Tree|Reduce and offset your carbon footprint
Global warming has become one of major challenges of mankind and the environment today. Greenhouse gases released to the environment in great and ever increasing quantities are known to be the culprit. Carbon footprint quantification, analysis and reduction are key to preventing this, for example, by enhancing energy efficiency, mitigating carbon emissions by means of green energy.
