Dubious Distinction
This is with reference to the editorial, “A green facade” (April 1-15, 2013). I am doing an investigative project about green buildings and rating systems in India as part of my journalism studies. I have been digging for opposing views on LEED rating in India but there has been none. It was a delight to find an article criticising these ratings.
Small fish, big net
@Richard20711534 Issue Date: Mar 15, 2013
At a rural market, fishers selling tiny fish in small baskets cannot escape the curious eye. Often ignored as “trash” or “miscellaneous” by the formal fishery sector, small fish is a delicacy rural people line up for. A loving husband would never miss the chance to give his expecting wife a meal full of nutritious small fish. A mother would always pursue her children to have them for good eyesight.

Live wire
Here is a wire you can stretch, bend or cut and it would still work. Scientists have created the self-healing, elastic wire using liquid metal and a polymer. Small tunnels are bored in polymer sheath and are filled with a liquid alloy of indium and gallium, forming a liquid metal wire inside the stretchable sheath.

Fishy behaviour
Survival of silvery fishes like sardines depend on their ability to reflect maximum light and remain nearly invisible to predators. But it is well known that reflective surfaces polarise light, a process which should have made the fish visible. The fish owe their survival to the presence of two types of crystals in their skin.
