Shocking. Controversial. Believable. Presentation to a Michigan House committee looking at the topic of low level radiation. The LNT hypothesis states than any level of radiation exposure in dangerous. The contrary argument is while high levels will kill you, low level radiation is beneficial. Skip to the the 11:14 minute point to get to the start of the presentation. Was originally posted at http://www.house.mi.gov/MHRPublic/PlayVideoArchive.html?video=ENER-101717.mp4 -- health

Nanokirigami is based on the ancient arts of origami (making 3-D shapes by folding paper) and kirigami (which allows cutting as well as folding) but applied to flat materials at the nanoscale. Now, researchers at MIT and in China have applied this approach to the creation of nanodevices to manipulate light, potentially opening new possibilities for light-based communications, detection, or computational devices. -- research

Eventually I decided to update my ultrasonic device to an infra-red activated product. This significantly helped. Infra-red won’t activate due to movement, but only when it detects heat from something living. This meant that the cats were always caught, even if they tried to venture around an obstruction.

Lay standard chicken wire down on the surface. Plants can usually grow in between the gaps, but cats will find the texture of the wiring unpleasant to walk on. If the plants need additional room to grow, you can use wire cutters to cut larger holes directly above the plants needing more room. + If a cat has already marked its territory in your garden, you might need to wash its scent away before it will consider going anywhere else. Spraying or pouring ordinary white vinegar around an area that a cat has attempted to claim can discourage it from using that spot again. + Use an ultrasonic device to deter cats. These emit a high-frequency sound that cats detest, but which humans cannot hear. These devices are motion-activated, so that when a cat walks by, it is startled by the high-frequency sound and should leave the area. -- fixit

Do thinning before the young fruit exceeds an inch in diameter. In most locations, you will no longer need to be concerned with thinning your fruit trees after July. -- fixit

Fruit is borne in clusters of two to six. A large cluster means that you did not thin enough the prior year. You can pluck by hand or use sterilized, sharp shears. Be careful not to damage the spur when you are thinning. If you are hand plucking, grasp the small fruit between your fingers and pull backwards so the stem snaps cleanly off. Of the two to six small fruit, thin to one large, healthy apple, with about 6-8 inches between the other apples left on the tree. If you can't decide, remove the apple with less sun exposure. -- fixit
