Ultimate solution

Article Abstract:

Chinese scientists are reportedly about to make a breakthrough in the development of a method to obtain combustible hydrogen from water, using sunlight as an energy source and the rare earth neodymium as a catalyst. As China is sitting on 80% of the world's deposits of rare earths, the only expensive input in the process, the discovery could turn the country overnight into an economic giant. Some scientists cautioned, however, that nothing has been published which would allow other scientists to verify the claim. Furthermore, even if the claim were true, the commercial applicability of the technique would have to be determined.

Article Abstract:

China's policy on prison labor is embodied in a document that has been created in response to a memorandum of understanding between the country and the US. The agreement bars the entry of products made in prison cells into the US and calls for the investigation of violations and inspection of prison industries by US officials in China. The Chinese document defends prison labor as reformative in character and claims that treatment of prisoners is humane.

Face maker: for this displaced Indian, physiognomy is an art as well as a science

Article Abstract:

US-resident Ragi S. Rao was able to return to his native India to visit and share his unique gift for manipulating his face into many expressions. He had a brief career in India twenty years ago making faces for enthusiastic crowds. He has also developed a deeper understanding of his work by studying the navarasa, the nine essential emotions identified in the sastras, and has consulted with professionals on the use of facial expressions.
