What Is OnStar?
March 15th, 2011 |If you’ve missed one of the thousands of OnStar commercials then you probably don’t know that OnStar is General Motors in-car safety and security system which could just be the next big thing in automotive safety.

Potassium Iodide is a chemical compound used in industry, as an additive to salt for health reasons, for pharmaceutical applications, and for the protection of the Thyroid during medical treatment and nuclear accidents.
This last application is why so many people on the American and Canadian west coast have begun buying potassium iodide from stores, in fear that radiation from the leaking radiation plant in Japan might cause radiation poisoning in them and their families.
On March 11, 2011, a rare megathrust earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. The earthquake,…
What Is Infrared?
March 14th, 2011 |Did you ever wonder how your TV remote actually tells the television to change the channel or turn down the sound? Have you ever wondered how satellites can see through clouds and give an image of the ground underneath? And those night vision goggles, just how do they work?
These devices and hundreds of others rely on infrared light, light that we can’t actually see, to perform their functions.

What Is Infrared Photography?
March 13th, 2011 |If you don’t see photography as art, if you think your cell phone is the only camera you’ll ever need, then infrared photography 1s probably not for you. It’s not for you as a photographer that is. You can still enjoy and appreciate the amazing images that result from infrared photography.
When it comes down to it, photography is the art of catching light and infrared photography is the art of capturing invisible light. Capturing invisible light sounds rather improbable but just because we can’t see it with our eyes does not mean it doesn’t exist.

What Is Photoshop?
March 12th, 2011 |Years ago when a person said they “had photographic proof” that an event occurred that was hard to refute. Photography was akin to what DNA evidence is today. However, thanks to a computer software program called Photoshop that “photographic proof” claim doesn’t carry the credibility that it once did.
Adobe’s Photoshop is a complex and multifunctional software program for creating, editing and managing images. If you think about it, a web page template is really just an image and Photoshop was a popular way to create websites when it first came out. However today Photoshop’s popularity is most derived from…

What Is Car Insurance?
March 7th, 2011 |Is there anything more confusing than shopping for car insurance? How can all those claims on TV that go “At ABC insurance our insureds save $400 over insurance with XYZ company” when XYZ company is making the same claim about ABC. Who’s fudging who?
Car insurance can be really complex and that’s how those commercials get away with their claims. The fact of the matter is each company will have a class of insured who has elected specific coverages that will be cheaper than another company. Nobody is comparing apples to apples and that’s not doing the consumer any favors.…

There’s a quick answer to this question. The designer responsible for the world’s most famous blunder was named Bonanno Pisano.
Pisano is blamed for building a foundation far too small for the ambitious bell tower project–a foundation of just three meters built into swampy soil is the cause of the trademark lean of this otherwise standard cathedral tower.

Who Built the Great Wall of China?
February 11th, 2011 |Who Built the Great Wall of China?
Anything on the scale of the Great Wall of China is going to be difficult to describe. While the Great Wall of China is not actually “visible from space” as many people believe, it is a truly massive manmade object, stretching for more than 3,700 miles in its entirety. Since the Great Wall of China was built across many centuries by many different people, it is impossible to point to one person or group of people and say they alone built the Great Wall.
Some history books give credit for building the Great…

Something about Stonehenge inspires people’s wildest imagination. Though there are tons of myths and legends about Stonehenge, the true story of its creation may be even more amazing. Who built Stonehenge?

Who Built the Golden Gate Bridge?

Who Designed the Golden Gate Bridge

Is a Pedometer Accurate?
