Google Organizes Global Science Fair

Google Organizes Global Science Fair - Google is encouraging geeky teens to come up with their own science experiments as Internet giant throws out a science fair. Participants must be between 13 and 18 years of age and submit their projects (in English, please) on Google Sites on or before April 4.

A panel of teachers will select 60 semifinalists, which will be narrowed down to 15 groups who will attend the fair at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California. The judges’ lineup consists of big names in the tech world, like Rolf-Dieter Heuer of European Organization for Nuclear Research (the guys behind the Large Hadron Collider), Google’s Vint Cerf (considered as one of the Fathers of Internet), and Nobel Laureate Kay Mullis.

The winners of the Google Science fair in three age groups will receive a US$50,000 scholarship, a trip to the Galapagos Island, and some gifts from LEGO and Scientific American.http://alienotec.blogspot.com/2011/01/vio-pov-rugged-hd-camcorder.html

Balanzza Truco Travel Luggage

Balanzza Truco Travel Luggage - Traveling becomes a hassle especially if you often bring along luggage that can sometime be difficult to store on baggage compartments on airplanes. A carry-on luggage can sometimes become too big for comfort to bring along but may be essential.

A good alternative available if you always go through this experience is by bringing along a more efficient luggage system like the Balanzza Truco.

The Balanzza Truco, or Travel Utility Carry On, is a uniquely designed luggage. It is a full size carry on that can also be separated into three separate pieces when necessary. The main piece is attached to the integrated trolley and can stand alone as a small carry on for short trips. For longer trips, the two other pieces can extend the carry on’s storage capacity and can be attached to one another to become a single carry on luggage. This makes it quite ideal to have along for frequent travelers. The Balanzza Truco is available at Balanzza for US$199.
