Where's the glue? Scientists find a surprise when they look for what binds in superconductivity |
(Nanowerk News) For more than 20 years since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity, scientists have been debating the underlying physical mechanism for this exotic phenomenon, which has the potential to revolutionize the electrical power distribution network. | |
They've argued at length over the origin of what some have imagined to be a microscopic "glue" that binds the electrons into pairs so they glide effortlessly, overcoming their normal repulsion in typical metals. Is it magnetism or vibrations in the lattice structure of the material or something else? | |
Now, provocative results yielded by two years of experiments carried out at Princeton University have a group of scientists saying that high-temperature superconductivity does not hinge on a magical glue binding electrons together. The secret to superconductivity, they say, may rest instead on the ability of electrons to take advantage of their natural repulsion in a complex situation. | |
Reporting in the April 11 issue of the journal Science, the team has uncovered an unexpected connection between the behavior of electrons when they pair up -- a key requirement for superconductivity -- and when the electrons are repelling one another at temperatures far above the critical temperature at which a material superconducts. Their experiments have shown that electrons exhibit a characteristic behavior when repelling each other that, strangely enough, signals their special talent for pairing and flowing without resistance when these complex materials are cooled to low temperatures. | |
"It appears that the electrons with the strongest repulsion in one situation are the most adept at superconductivity in another," said Ali Yazdani, a professor of physics at Princeton and the senior author of the paper. "It's counterintuitive, but that's what's happening." | |
High-temperature superconductors are ceramic materials that can conduct electricity across huge distances without losing any energy. They are also relatively cheap to make and have enormous potential in many areas of technology. | |
Superconductivity was first observed in mercury in 1911 by the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. When he cooled the material to the temperature of liquid helium, 4 degrees Kelvin (-452F, -269C), its resistance suddenly disappeared. Scientists in later years would come to understand low-temperature superconductivity as a phenomenon that occurs when electrons interact with vibrations of the material's lattice structure and join into pairs that are able to travel through a conductor without being scattered by atoms. | |
The copper oxide, "high-temperature" superconductors that have been intensely studied since they were discovered in 1986 can become superconducting at higher temperatures than the older materials -- up to about 150 Kelvin (-253F, -123C) -- making them of greater interest to industry. They can be cooled with liquid nitrogen, which is cheaper than liquid helium. But do electrons bond in these materials, scientists have wondered, the same general way as in the lower temperature materials? | |
The team with the new results has determined they do not. | |
The findings came as a result of an effort to track down physical indicators of the microscopic "glue," which in the case of low-temperature superconductors are known to show up in delicate measurements of quantum properties of superconducting electrons. In the 1960s, scientists at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, conducting such experiments, proved beyond a doubt that lattice vibrations bind electrons, paving the way for them to flow in low-temperature superconductors. | |
Until now, scientists have not been able to repeat the Bell Labs experiments in high-temperature superconducting material. The ceramic conductors, which consist of up to five different elements, have been particularly challenging to prepare for such precision measurements. Researchers have found it impossible to perform similar measurements on the highest quality crystals without destroying their superconducting properties. The Princeton team triumphed by taking a novel approach and using a specialized scanning tunneling microscope with unique tracking capabilities. This technique allowed the researchers to fix their sight on the same atom, as the electrons moving in the sample went from repelling each other at high temperatures to pairing up at low temperatures. | |
Other recent searches in the microscopic realm for "glue," using different techniques, have turned up conflicting evidence. "This is a very controversial subject, partly because of the complexity of the material, which has a varying chemical structure on the atomic scale," Yazdani said. | |
"What we have found is that the traditional signatures of what some might call the 'glue' are there -- we can measure them with high accuracy on the atomic scale," he added. "They don't seem to control the formation of the superconducting pairs, though. They are more like spectators." | |
Having developed the ability to measure with high precision how nature allows electron pairs to form, the team, which included postdoctoral fellow Abhay Pasupathy and graduate students Aakash Pushp and Kenjiro Gomes, looked to see if there were other types of experimental signatures that could give clues to the mechanism of pairing. Their microscope gave them a big advantage as it allowed them to visualize electrons' quantum behavior in these complex materials with varying chemical structure on the atomic scale. To their surprise, they found that atomic locations of the sample in which electrons show signs of stronger repulsion for each other -- at very high temperature -- formed the strongest bonded pairs of electrons at low temperatures. This observation runs contrary to the behavior of electrons in low-temperature superconducting materials, in which electron-electron repulsion is not conducive to electron pairing up and superconductivity. | |
They found that when the samples were heated up to very high temperatures at which electrons no longer paired up, the electrons that had been superconducting at colder temperatures exhibited unique quantum properties at warmer temperatures indicating they possessed extremely strong repulsive forces. | |
Unlike the electrons studied in low-temperature superconducting materials, the electrons in high-temperature superconductors that are most likely to bond and flow effortlessly are the ones that repel others the strongest when the environment is not conducive to superconductivity. | |
While these experiments alone may not end the 20-year debate on what causes high-temperature superconductivity, they have at least one long-time proponent of the importance of electron-electron repulsion in the mechanism paying close attention. "The data is a gold mine which we're only beginning to exploit," said Philip Anderson, Princeton's Joseph Henry Professor of Physics, Emeritus, who won a physics Nobel in 1977 and was not involved in the research. | |
The scientists studied a compound made of strontium, bismuth, calcium and copper oxide. They used a specially rigged scanning tunneling microscope with a probe so small its tip is a single atom wide. Positioned a hair's breadth above the sample, the device can move in increments smaller than an atom and measure current that flows between the tip and the surface. | |
The team also included other researchers from Princeton, the University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign and the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, as well as Osaka University and the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Research, both in Japan. | |
The Princeton scientists worked in the Princeton Nanoscale Microscopy Laboratory, a state-of-the-art, ultra-low-noise lab constructed at the site of an old cyclotron in the basement of Jadwin Hall. Yazdani and his group study condensed matter physics, searching for simple, unifying explanations for complicated phenomena observed in liquids and solids. | |
Scientists hope the findings will help crack the 20-year puzzle and may also boost efforts to find new varieties of materials that become superconducting at ever-higher temperatures. Such materials would make practical the dream of a new electrical world with high-powered computers, magnetically levitating trains and super-efficient power transmission lines. |

Tennis Court Construction are experts in applying tennis court colouring paint and with a huge range of contrasting colour options to choose from a bespoke design can be created for your facility.
When you have a polymeric or macadam surface installed, it is often recommended to have an anti-slip tennis court colouring paint applied to the new surfacing in a variety of colours to enhance the performance qualities and to keep the facility safe. T
he type of specialist sports paint used can vary in terms of slip resistance depending upon the other sports you may want to use the facility for. Acrylic paint is typically applied to macadam MUGA courts, whereas polyurethane coatings are used for polymeric rubber facilities. The anti-slip qualities of these sports paint types are achieved by mixing a combination of aluminium oxide and sand with the paint to create friction on the surfacing. For surfaces which are going to be used as a multi-sports facility with netball as well as tennis, a higher slip resistance rating is usually needed.
If you would like more information on tennis surface colouring, please get in touch with our team. Simply fill in the contact box provided and we will get back to you at the earliest opportunity.
With help from tennis surfacing makers a bespoke design will be created for your facility with a huge range of options to choose from.

Neymar, Brazil's latest football sensation, sat with TIME Editor-at-Large Bobby Ghosh to discuss his career, his life — and why he continues to resist the temptation to move to a big-name club in Europe.
Every day, it seems like one famous Brazilian player or another has an opinion about whether you should stay in Brazil or go to Europe. One day it's Deco, another day is Ronaldo. How much does that influence your own thinking?
I always make my decisions together with my family, my father. Of course, I hear the advice of everyone who wishes me well, but the final decision is always mine, with my family. I'm very happy that major players are always giving their opinions about my life, my game. I am very thankful for that.
You have stayed in Brazil much longer than a player of your quality is normally expected to stay. Do you feel that you have made some sacrifices, that you have missed out on some things in order to stay with your family in Brazil?
No, no. I don't think so. I like to be in Brazil, this is what I wish. I always do as my heart tells me. For me, the right time has not come for me to leave Brazil. I am very happy at Santos. I am very happy in Brazil. I'm with my family, my friends. I am very happy.
And what would you define as the "right time"? What are you waiting for?
I have a contract with Santos until 2014. I intend to honor it. [After that,] it depends on my will, how I feel in my heart, whether I want to leave Brazil or not. I can continue to work with Santos. You always knows what's best for you. It's like choosing an ice-cream flavor. Sometimes you choose vanilla, sometimes chocolate. My wish today, my flavor today, for me, is to stay with Santos.
Do you feel that it has in any way compromised your development as a player? Would you have developed faster or slower if you had gone to Europe?
Whether or not a player goes abroad, he develops in the same way. Some develop slower, some faster, but that depends on the player and everybody grows personally and professionally. I have no regrets about my decision. I am very happy at Santos, like I said. In my opinion I've made the right choice.
One of the interesting things about the Brazilian league in the last few years is how many players are coming back from Europe while they still have some time left toplay, like Ronaldinho, Zé Roberto, Juninho Pernambucano, several players have come back. I know that there's not such a player in Santos but the return of these players, does that help to raise the standard of the league and therefore does that help you develop faster as a player?
It's good for Brazilian football to have idols, stars, big stars coming back to Brazilian clubs. The tournaments become much better, more interesting. Zé Roberto, Juninho Pernambucano, Ronaldinho Gaucho, and other players who have returned to Brazil strengthen the league and improve the tournaments.
(MORE: Lionel Messi's Final Goal)
Does that make you a better player?
Of course, it's always helpful to see a star player up close, whether you are in the same team or not. Not only for me personally but for every player, the tournament becomes more difficult, and therefore muchmore fun.
When you face, say, Zé Roberto, do you sense it's harder to get past him because he has all this experience?
It depends. It's not that he has more experience that it makes it more difficult to go past him. Of course it's easier to play when you have more experience, when you know your way around the field. Football is like that: when you're on the field everyone's the same.
Now, you're a year-and-a-half away from the World Cup. I don't have to tell you, it's going to be the biggest thing for all of your countrymen. And, in many significant ways, it's going to be your World Cup. You will be the player everyone has all these expectations of. Does that change the way you prepare, the way you train?
No, I always get ready for the next game. I'm not thinking that far ahead into the future. I'm training for the next game, to be in the best shape possible to be on the field for the next game.
You are aware of the enormous pressures that your countrymen expect from you.
I don't think there's pressure on me. But this Cup is happening at home, so the pressure on the [Brazilian national team] is doubled. Given all the accomplishments of the national team in the history of football, it is always favored to win in any competition. Now, the next World Cup will be at home and we are aware of the pressure… But we must ignore the pressure and play football like we always do.
For those of us who are not in your situation, it's hard to understand how you can put the pressure away from your mind.
Well, I don't know how it is for you but, for me, I'm at ease. I am aware of the pressures but I'm doing what I love to do, so there's no reason for me to feel pressured at all. I turn this pressure into happiness, joy, and try to do my job well.
In terms of your development as a player, what are the things that you feel that you are able to do now on the field that you weren't able to do two years ago?
That's a difficult question. In comparison to my first game, nowadays I have a lot more self-confidence and I've grown in many other respects. It's difficult to explain.
In some sports, including football, veterans say that, as they grow older, they are able to see the game better around them. Everything seems to slow down. Do you feel that way?
I'm only twenty: I'm not that old! But I think it's true. I do believe that, as I gain more experience, my vision of the game broadens.
Let's talk a little bit about Brazil. The fact that Neymar stays in Brazil rather than goes to Europe, the fact that Ronaldinho Gaucho comes back to Brazil instead of going to Turkey, or Qatar, or Japan, in some ways this tell us about Brazil's success as a country, as an economy, as a league where players can make a decent living. Are we reading too much into it or do you agree?
I'm not referring to the fact that I stayed in Brazil but it's important to have these stars back to Brazilian football fields. You mentioned Ronaldinho, Zé Roberto, and all the players that are returning, not only do they help our league but also our country, to see our stars coming back.
(MORE: Mario Balotelli – The Infamously Mercurial Brilliance of Soccer Star)
Fifteen years ago, when the Brazilian league was much poorer than it is today, when Brazil as a country was not as well off as today, your thinking might have been different. After all, you have a responsibility to earn money for you family and your future. Would you say that your decision [to remain at Santos] is made possible by the fact that you can now make a very good living while you're still in Brazil?
No, I think that my decision would have been the same 15. I didn't stay because of money. I stayed because I wanted to stay, because I was happy, close to my family, my son, my friends. Those were the reasons for my decision. It was my desire to stay, it was not about money.
Tell me a little more about Neymar the family man. We see the player, we read about you as a player, as a team man, as a star. Tell me a little more about the family man, as a father, as a son…
I'm a happy guy. I like to joke around. I'm irreverent. I love my family, I love my son. I was very happy with and proud of the birth of my son. I grew up a lot after he was born. I'm just an easy and happy guy. I love my profession. If you want me to talk about me as a person, that's who I am.
You are the source of a lot of pride for Brazilians, you and the whole team. Tell me a little bit, if you can, about what you are proud of about Brazil, not just football but Brazil in general.
There are so many! Football is the Number One reason, of course. Our cities are wonderful, I am so proud of all these aspects about Brazil, everything about Brazil.
Is it important to you that Brazil, quite apart from football, is now seen as an important economic power in the world?
Yes, of course, that's very important! It's a source of pride for me. It helps our country and it helps everybody.
Twenty years ago, Brazil's most famous export was football players. Now there's oil, there are aircraft… Are you aware of all these other changes around you or are you completely focused on football and those things don't matter?
Well, I'm not completely focused on football: I read the news. But football is my profession and I pay more attention [to it].
Outside of football, who are your heroes, who are the people you admire? And you're not allowed to say your father! [Neymar Sr. is in the room.]
How about my mother? [Laughs.]
Nobody in the family. Other Brazilians.
Can it be in soccer or outside of football?
Outside of football.
Well, outside of football, I could mention some athletes, like [ultimate fighter] Anderson Silva, Guga [tennis player Gustavo Kuerten], and [the late F-1 driver Ayrton] Senna, though I never saw or met him. And Pele. These are all great idols of whom we are very proud.
To carry the title of the next Pelé is a huge burden, especially when Pelé himself seems to bless that idea.
Well, this is a source of great pride, it's an honor for me, but Pelé is unique. I can't be compared to Pelé. I need to do so much more to be compared to Pelé. Pelé is fantastic. And he's unique.
Of the players that you see now, whether in the league or elsewhere in the world, who are the people you pay close attention to in order to see if you can learn something from?
I pay close attention to the players in Brazil, [like] Ronaldinho. And my friends who play in Europe, and Messi, among other players, such as Kaká, Oscar… These are the players that I try to look at.
You've played against Messi a couple of times, with Santos and the national team. On the field, do you pay close attention to him?
I have great admiration for him, of course. He's an idol, but, when I'm on the field, I always put that aside because I have to do my own job in the game and try to beat him.
What have you learned from him?
Messi is another unique player. There's only one Messi. I think it's fantastic how he can make decisions. How he is able to be decisive, to change a game, to make the difference in a game.
For somebody who has made so much money at a fairly young age, and who's got millions of fans, you are very well behaved. There are people in your profession who are not so well behaved. Is this just your natural personality or do you feel a sense of responsibility that you have to behave well because you are an example to young people?
I disagree with you a little bit. I've given my father enough trouble. [Neymar Sr. interjects: "That's true!"]
But my personality and how I was raised… Of course we all have our own personalities but it's important how our parents raise us. I've always had the greatest respect for and listened to both my father and my mother. I've always tried to follow my parents' advice because these are people who want the best for me.
[At the end of the interview, Neymar poses for photographer Alessio Romenzi.]
I asked the same question to Messi: What do you like less, being interviewed or having your picture taken?
The photographs.
I'm not very handsome.

Lev Gillet
Louis Gillet, also Lev Gillet, was a convert to the Orthodox faith between the World Wars through the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and was received into the Orthodox Church in Paris. He organized the first French language Orthodox parish in France.
Born in 1893 in Saint-Marcellin (Isère, France), after studies of philosophy in Paris, Louis Gillet (Lev Gillet - Photo) is mobilized during the First World War, held prisoner in 1914 and spends three years in captivity, where he is attracted by the spirit and the spirituality of the Russian prisoners. He studies mathematics and psychology in Geneva and joins the Benedictines in Clairvaux in 1919. Attracted by the Eastern Christian world, he becomes acquainted with Metropolitan Andreas Szeptycki of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Galicia, and pronounces his final vows at the Studite Monastery of Ouniov in Galicia.
Disappointed by the attitude of the Catholic Church towards Orthodoxy, Father Lev is received in the Orthodox Church in Paris in May 1928, and in November 1928 he becomes the rector of the parish of Sainte-Geneviève-de-Paris, the first French-speaking Orthodox parish. In 1938 he leaves Paris to settle in London, within the framework of the Fellowship of Saint Alban and Saint Sergius [1], an ecumenical organization dedicated to the bringing together of the Anglican Church and the Orthodox Church. He remains in England until his death in 1980, going on many journeys abroad, in particular to France, Switzerland and Lebanon, where he took part in the spiritual revival of Antiochian Orthodoxy.
Principal publications in French (under the pseudonym "a monk of the Eastern Church" - English translations also available) include The Jesus Prayer, Introduction to Orthodox Spirituality, The year of grace of the Lord: A commentary on the Byzantine liturgical year, and Jesus, simple gazes to the Saviour.
- O strange Orthodox Church, so poor and weak, with neither the organization nor the culture of the West, staying afloat as if by a miracle in the face of so many trials, tribulations and struggles; a Church of contrasts, both so traditional and so free, so archaic and so alive, so ritualist and so personally involved, a Church where the priceless pearl of the Gospel is assiduously preserved, sometimes under a layer of dust; a Church which in shadows and silence maintains above all the eternal values of purity, poverty, asceticism, humility and forgiveness; a Church which has often not known how to act, but which can sing of the joy of Pascha like no other. -- from Fr Lev's 1937 funeral homily for Archimandrite Irénée (Louis-Charles) Winnaert, the founder of the Orthodox Church of France
Translated from [2],[3] (French)

An x-ray image shows packages of illegal drugs being smuggled inside food tins. |
Brussels: Nearly 40 people have been arrested and EUR 15 million worth
of drugs seized during a global operation targeting the trafficking of
methamphetamines by air from Africa to Asia.
Operation WESTERLIES (16-25 November), organized by the World
Customs Organization (WCO) and Japan Customs and supported by INTERPOL, saw
some 100 customs and law enforcement officials target the criminals behind the
trafficking through heightened controls on departing, transiting and arriving
passengers at international airports located on known routes used by drug
The operation targeted methamphetamines either produced in,
or being exported from, African countries and destined for sale in Asia.
Passengers travelling between the two regions, often via airports in Europe and
the Middle East, were screened to detect any who might be smuggling the drug.
Officers checked passenger information against INTERPOL's
criminal databases via the I-24/7 secure global police communications network,
and shared information and intelligence through the WCO's communications tool,
CENcomm. Training sessions were held in the participating countries prior to
the start of the operation, and drug detection kits were distributed at the
selected airports.
Bernd Rossbach, Director of INTERPOL's Specialized Crime
unit, said INTERPOL must continue to build strong partnerships with
organizations like the WCO to more effectively combat the criminal networks
behind drug trafficking and other serious crimes.
He asserted, "Close cooperation between the WCO and INTERPOL, making the
best use of each other's tools and services, and effective integrated border
management systems are key to ensuring secure borders and protecting citizens
from the threat of illicit drug trafficking and related crimes."
"Our drugs and organized crime initiatives can only be
successful if we have strong alliances with partners in law enforcement and
beyond," concluded Rossbach.
Customs officials at various airports seized 220 kg of
drugs, including 63 kg of methamphetamines and amphetamines, and 58 kg of
cocaine. Also seized during the operation were 120 kg of illegal elephant ivory
and some USD 3 million in undeclared currency.
As a result of information obtained during the operation,
three global alerts were issued informing law enforcement of newly detected
smuggling methods.
The Secretary General of the WCO and the Secretary General
of INTERPOL recently met and reaffirmed cooperation between the two
organizations in their efforts to bolster the fight against transnational
organized crime.

Safety Recall: PC and NP Copiers Manufactured between 1987 and 1998
January 18, 2007
PC6, PC6RE, PC65, PC7, PC7RE, PC8, PC11, PC11RE, PC12, NP1010 and NP1020
Canon has issued a product advisory for a specific group of PC and NP copiers manufactured between 1987 and 1998, which require an inspection to address a potentially faulty internal connection. The models affected include the PC6, PC6RE, PC65, PC7, PC7RE, PC8, PC11, PC11RE, PC12, NP1010, NP1020 and C-100. On September 18, 2006, Canon, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, announced a voluntary recall for repair of such models.
A faulty connection involving the power cord for the fixing unit heater may have occurred in some of these copiers at the time of manufacture or during servicing. A limited number of these units may present a risk of smoke emission or fire. Due to this risk, please contact Canon immediately for a free repair.
Since the initial introduction of these products in 1987, approximately 800,000 units have been shipped, and we have had six reported incidents involving the NP1020. It is estimated that less than 70,000 units of these models are still in use.
This product advisory does not affect our imageRUNNER, Color imageRUNNER, Color Laser Copier, imageCLASS, imagePROGRAF and other PC and NP models.
To the customers using the products in question, we extend our sincerest apologies for any inconveniences resulting from this issue.

Hand harvested by the Minnesota Leech Lake band of Ojibwe, Native Americans, in canoes as required by law. Wood fire parched, stupendous 100% whole grain. Quick cooking and fluffy, not hard like paddy grown black hybrid varieties. Eden wild rice was Vegetarian Times 2009 'Best Go To Grain'. Rich in niacin B3 and manganese. A good source of fiber, protein, thiamin B1, riboflavin B2, magnesium, and zinc. Gluten free. It comes in a reclosable, protective, standing pouch.
Eden Wild Rice is hand harvested in canoes as required by law from northern Minnesota lakes by the Leech Lake band of Ojibwe. State and tribal law distinguish authentic wild rice as Native harvested using the non-mechanized methods that have been handed down through generations for over a thousand years. Eden Wild Rice supports the traditional culture and helps to preserve this age-old harvest. It offers the experience of true wild rice, light, fluffy, and sweet.
'Best Go To Grain'
Eden Wild Rice is wood fire parched, delicious 100% whole grain. Quick cooking and fluffy, not hard like paddy grown black hybrid varieties. Eden Wild Rice was Vegetarian Times 2009 'Best Go To Grain'.
The only indigenous North American grain, wild rice is an annual aquatic reed grass of 12 feet with a 2 foot flowering panicle. It is of the Poaceae (Gramineae) or grain family, not a true rice of the Oryza genus. It is Gluten Free.
Eden Wild Rice Zizania palutris is authentic wild rice, strikingly different from paddy grown wild rice. Domesticated, paddy grown 'wild rice' is almost all black, very hard, takes much longer to cook, and after cooking has a tough texture. The vast majority of items labeled as wild rice are paddy grown in California and not subject to labeling laws that distinguish authentic wild rice. The real thing, as is Eden Wild Rice, it truly amazing. Most notably it is soft and delicious.
There are hundreds of different wild rice varieties that have developed growing in different environs. Water quality, temperature, depth and composition of mud in various lake beds impart subtle differentiations. Authentic wild rice is threatened by contamination from paddy grown, domesticated strains that are grown in close to real wild rice stands, or that are shipped into these areas to be processed for better imitation. A law passed by Congress in May 2007 requires disclosure and environmental impact statements from anyone that may attempt to create genetically engineered wild rice. While this is well intended, the law falls short of a ban and genetically engineered contamination of wild rice remains a very real concern.
In old Ojibwe history their ancestors were directed by the Creator to move West from their home in the East or perish. They were told to go to the land where food grows upon the water. When reaching this place their western migration should stop. Finding wild rice growing upon the water they named it manoomin or 'good berry' and resettled. Only much later did European settlers call it wild rice.
In addition to being a sacred component of Native American culture and tradition, wild rice is vital to the lakes' ecology and their flora and fauna. Wild rice stands provide habitat for waterfowl, fish, and many species that rely on it for food and the rice beds as haven and nursery.
Eden Wild Rice is harvested from the end of August through early September. The Ojibwe call this 'rice harvest moon' or 'Manoominike Giizis.' Law requires modern wild rice harvesting be done by Native American ricers in canoes. There are two in each canoe, a poler who propels and guides the canoe and a knocker in the middle. The poler uses a forked pole about 20 feet long to protect the plants. The knocker uses two cedar sticks resembling large drumsticks to harvest the rice as the canoe passes through the reeds. Alternating between left and right hands, he uses one stick to pull rice stalk over the canoe and the other to tap the rice loose from the stalk into the canoe. Unripe grains stay on the stalk. Some will re-seed the lake after ripening. When full the canoe is poled to shore where the rice is winnowed to remove its chaff, and parched on a wood fire roaster. This drying by wood fire roasting impart stability and flavor.
Nutrition Facts
According to FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain and other plant foods, and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers." Also, "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Wild Rice is low fat, contains no saturated fat or cholesterol, and is a good source of dietary fiber. It is very low sodium, 15mg per 1/4 cup serving or 1% DV (Daily Value), an excellent source of niacin B3 and manganese, and a good source of protein, fiber, thiamin B1, riboflavin B2, magnesium, and zinc. Gluten Free.
Eden Wild Rice is delicious, light and fluffy whole grain that is perfect for holidays meals and year round as an entrée, in soups, stews, salads, grain burgers, desserts, pancakes, waffles, and bread making. It is great combined with and enhancing other grains. Mix it with vegetables, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit for stuffing or wild rice pilaf. Cook some extra and use leftovers during the week to make so many dishes. It stores well without loosing its flavor when refrigerated.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. orders for long-lasting goods that signal business investment plans fell in February by the largest amount in seven months, although the decline followed a strong month in January and may prove to be a temporary setback.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that orders for so-called core capital goods declined 2.7 percent in February from January. Demand weakened for machinery and communications equipment, but rose for computers. The decline followed a 6.7 percent surge in January, which was the biggest one-month gain in nearly three years.
Overall orders for durable goods surged 5.7 percent in February, the biggest month-over-month increase in five months. The increase was driven by a rebound in the volatile commercial aircraft category.
Orders for motor vehicles and parts rose 3.8 percent, the best showing since July. Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders were down 0.5 percent.
Durable goods are products expected to last at least three years. Orders can fluctuate sharply from month to month.
Economists pay closer attention to orders for core capital goods, which provide a more consistent measure of business plans to expand and modernize their operations.
Demand for heavy machinery fell 2.2 percent in February after a 15.8 percent rise in January. Orders for computers were up 4.9 percent but demand for communications equipment fell 7.6 percent.
Many economists were expecting a decline after January's impressive gain. The broader trend has been favorable, even with uncertainty surrounding tax and spending policies. Core capital goods orders dipped in December but posted strong gains in November and October.
Nearly all Americans who draw a paycheck began paying higher Social Security taxes on Jan. 1 while income taxes rose for the highest earning workers. And $85 billion in automatic spending cuts started to take effect on March 1, reductions that will mean furloughs and other cutbacks for many government agencies.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the combination of higher taxes and spending cuts will trim overall economic growth by 1.5 percentage point this year. The CBO is estimating the economy will grow 1.5 percent in 2013.
U.S. manufacturing is likely to help the economy grow this year after struggling throughout 2012.
The Institute for Supply Management reported that its index of manufacturing activity grew in February at the fastest pace since June 2011, bolstered by increases in orders and production. It was the third straight month of growth in this index.
Many analysts expect economic growth to expand at an annual rate of 2 percent to 2.5 percent in the January-March period, up significantly from an anemic 0.1 percent rise in the October-December quarter.

Miyuki Delica 11/0 CUT (DBC) - 5.3g aprox 230 beads per gram. What is a Delica Bead? Delica beads are cylindrical in shape and have very thin walls, as opposed to the rounder, thick-walled seed bead. They line up perfectly in loom and in off-loom stitches, with the thin walls and large holes allowing for multiple thread passes through each bead. Delicas give curved stitches such as a Spiral or Rosette a more angular shape and lend good definition to Herringbone weave projects. Why use them? Delica beads are an excellent choice in any project because they are so precise. They make any pattern line up perfectly and give a clean, crisp finish to any project. The beads are usually of excellent quality, creating fewer culls when you are working and therefore are cost effective. The color and finish ranges are fantastic to the point that some have become collector's items! Specs of Delica 11/0: Diameter: 1.60 mm. Lengh: 1.30 mm. Hole: 0.80~0.8 mm.

Learn more about the specifications of surfaces here - http://www.design-supply-install.co.uk/muga-pitch/specification/the-vale-of-glamorgan/ or speak to our specialists today.
We are able to supply a number of other specialist products and services for maintaining the EPDM rubber sport surfaces. Regular maintenance of MUGA courts and athletics tracks is important if you want to ensure that the flooring is safe and retains its performance qualities.
This could be done through routine brushing and pressure washing to remove dirt from the surface and stop debris from getting stuck in the pores. Our team offer this as a service along with any repairs which might be required, or we can supply equipment for you to complete the cleaning yourself.
If you are looking at how to install polymeric courts, we follow a basic construction process:
We can complete the installation process from start to finish. Our experts closest to you will only make use of premium materials, meaning that your facility will be installed to the best possible standard. We have a range of colour options available for the colour coating, so please let us know about all of your requirements and we may create your perfect sport facility.
We can also apply more than one type of sports markings on the court, creating a MUGA sports court. This will allow you to play a number of sports in one place and will help to cut back on costs.
If you're thinking about having an EPDM rubber sport surface installed at your school, college, public facility or the surrounding areas, the costs will vary dramatically depending on what you want.
Things which affect the prices include your chosen area size, specification of surfacing, existing sub base condition, location and overall design. As a result of these factors, our quotes for each project will be completely different so please speak with a member of staff so we offer an accurate price estimate.
Simply fill in our contact form on this page with the details of your enquiry and we'll put together a quote for polymeric sport surfacing in The Vale of Glamorgan CF71 7 as soon as possible.

A few quotable quotes from the report (from Chapter 4):
- "There is medium evidence and high agreement that long-term trends in normalized losses have not been attributed to natural or anthropogenic climate change"
- "The statement about the absence of trends in impacts attributable to natural or anthropogenic climate change holds for tropical and extratropical storms and tornados"
- "The absence of an attributable climate change signal in losses also holds for flood losses"
"Some authors suggest that a (natural or anthropogenic) climate change signal can be found in the records of disaster losses (e.g., Mills, 2005; Höppe and Grimm, 2009), but their work is in the nature of reviews and commentary rather than empirical research."With this post I am creating a handy bullshit button on this subject (pictured above). Anytime that you read claims that invoke disasters loss trends as an indication of human-caused climate change, including the currently popular "billion dollar disasters" meme, you can simply call "bullshit" and point to the IPCC SREX report.
You may find yourself having to use the bullshit button in locations that are supposed to be credible, such as Nature Climate Change and the New York Times. This might may feel uncomfortable at first, because such venues are generally credible, but is absolutely necessary to help certain corners of science and the media to regain their credibility. The siren song of linking disasters to human-caused climate change exerts a strong pull for activists in all settings, but might be countered by the widespread and judicious use of the disaster and climate change bullshit button.

I don't know what it is about spring and asparagus but at this time of year I always seem to think about asparagus quiches which I never tire of and I always love experimenting with. This year was no different and I wanted to try something a little different, a quinoa crust instead of the more standard all butter pie crust . Up until recently my favourite crust for quiches has been a brown rice pie crust and I figured that quinoa should work equally as well as a pie crust. The quinoa pie crust is pretty easy to make and all you need to do is cook some quinoa, mix in an egg and some cheese as binders and pre-bake the crust until golden brown before continuing with your quiche recipe as normal. For this quiche I had to go with the asparagus which had been on my mind, along with baby artichokes and I flavoured the quiche with a healthy dose of fresh homemade basil pesto and some creamy and tangy goat cheese. This asparagus, baby artichoke, pesto and goat cheese quiche may take a bit of time to make but it is well worth it and it definitely makes for one impressively tasty weekend breakfast or brunch! With the quinoa crust and the use of milk rather than heavy cream you can enjoy this healthy quiche with little or no regret!
I like to arrange a few asparagus spears and artichoke hearts on top for presentation.
Just look at that golden brown and crispy quinoa crust!
The basil pesto adds plenty of flavour and definitely makes this quiche scream of spring!
Asparagus, Baby Artichoke, Pesto and Goat Cheese Quiche with Quinoa Crust
A quiche with a quinoa crust that is filled with spring asparagus, artichokes, basil pesto and goat cheese.
- 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 cup water
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated (optional)
- 4 baby artichokes, quartered or chopped
- 1/2 pound asparagus, cut into small pieces
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
- 1/3 cup pesto
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- Bring the quinoa and water to a boil, reduce the heat, simmer, covered, until tender and most of the water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes, remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel the leaves from the artichokes until you get to the paler tender inner leaves, cut the top third off and discard, quarter the artichoke hearts and set aside in lemon water.
- Mix the quinoa, egg and parmesan and press into the bottom of a pie plate.
- Bake in a preheated 375F/190C oven until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, saute or steam the artichoke hearts and asparagus until just tender and set aside.
- Mix the artichokes, asparagus, eggs, milk, pesto and goat cheese and pour into quinoa crust.
- Bake in a preheated 375F/190C oven until golden brown and set in the center, about 30-35 minutes.
