Donald trump receptionist from monsters inc. It has been amusing to watch the brands — the PGA, NBC, Macy’s, NASCAR, Univision, Serta — flee Donald Trump after his xenophobic remarks.

China has turned to mist cannons to blast pollution from the sky

We know that China has a serious air pollution problem, caused largely by CO2 emissions. The government has promised to tackle the issue in the coming years, but some local councils have already started using a rather unconventional method of dispersing the smog: huge mist cannons. The cannons are based on machines that blast away dust in factories and building sites. Manufactured by China-based company, Hunan Jiujiu Mining Safety Equipment, they were originally intended to reduce the risk of lung and respiratory problems for miners, but back in 2013, they started tw

Rovelli – This 78-page book on physics is selling more copies than ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’

Since it was published last September, Carlo Rovelli's book Seven Brief Lessons on Physics has sold more copies in Rovelli's native country, Italy, than E.L. James' smash hit Fifty Shades of Grey, The Spectator reported. And the translated English copy has quickly risen to become Penguin's fastest-selling science debut in the publishing company's history. So what's Rovelli's secret? After all, it's not like physics is a topic that people flock toward. In fact, physics has bee
