It was an adult breath mint that he decided to market as an alternative for smoking. Haas Food Manufacturing Corporation of Vienna, Austria, was the first to sell PEZ candies. Back then, PEZ, the brick-shaped candies were carried around in pocket tins

How the E-Book Will Change the Way We Read and Write - WSJ.com - 0 views

  • But because books have largely been excluded from Google's index -- distant planets of unlinked analog text -- that vast trove of knowledge can't compete with its hyperlinked rivals.

    I knew then that the book's migration to the digital realm would not be a simple matter of trading ink for pixels, but would likely change the way we read, write and sell books in profound ways. It will make it easier for us to buy books, but at the same

NORDIC FITNESS PARK ON THE RENNSTEIG - 0 views

  •  
    The first Fitness Park licensed by the German Nordic Walking Association is situated in the middle of the romantic landscape of the Vesser Valley in Thuringia. The 60 km trail is comprised of 4 separate routes that pass through the NORDIC FITNESS PARK ON THE RENNSTEIG. A classification by distance and difficulty makes the selection of a suitable route easier for everyone. Entrance signs at the starting points in Vesser and at the Ringberg Hotel Suhl give information on technique and equipment as well as on the ideal strain and heart rate. A special highlight is the annual GutsMuths-Rennsteiglauf (cross-country ultramarathon), the biggest ultramarathon in Central Europe. Back to top

Weinheim Miramar - Erfahrungsbericht - MIRAMAR WEINHEIM - 0 views

  • Das Schwimmbad bietet wirklich für jeden etwas. Von Groß bis Klein. Für die Kleinen gibt es ganze Legosteine in Lebensgröße, mit denen man etwas bauen kann, oder aber auch das Wasserparadies für die Kleinen. Mitten im Hallenbad besteht sogar die Möglichkeit, Tischtennis (!) zu spielen. Nun aber zum Spaß für die Großen und Kleinen, warum der Eintrittspreis so hoch ist:

Why Aren't GMO Foods Labeled? - 0 views

  • there has been cross-breeding of natural crops and species with those that have been genetically engineered
  • G.E. alfalfa cross-pollinates organic alfalfa, that alfalfa is no longer organic; if a G.E. salmon egg is fertilized by a wild salmon, or a transgenic fish escapes into the wild and breeds with a wild fish
  • the biotech industry has spent over half a billion dollars on G.M.O. lobbyists in the last decade
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • an older ABC poll found that a majority of Americans believe that G.M.O.’s are unsafe, even more say they’re less likely to buy them, and a more recent CBS/NYT poll found a whopping 87 percent — you don’t see a poll number like that too often — wants them labeled.
  • A majority of our food already contains G.M.O.’s, and there’s little reason to think more isn’t on the way. It seems our “regulators” are using us and the environment as guinea pigs, rather than demanding conclusive tests.

Let Kids Rule the School - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    I recently followed a group of eight public high school students, aged 15 to 17, in western Massachusetts as they designed and ran their own school within a school. They represented the usual range: two were close to dropping out before they started the project, while others were honors students. They named their school the Independent Project. The students in the Independent Project are remarkable but not because they are exceptionally motivated or unusually talented. They are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience, when they learn things that matter to them and when they learn together. In such a setting, school capitalizes on rather than thwarts the intensity and engagement that teenagers usually reserve for sports, protest or friendship.
