Highlight
Highlighting lets you denote important information on a
page, just like highlighting in a book, but with Diigo, the highlighted text
will be conveniently saved to your library as well.
There are some important things for me to denote on my
recipe. My wife doesn’t like pineapple, my grandfather can’t have eggs or
chocolate, and I don’t like coconut very much, so I highlight those items on
the recipe to let me know I need to deal with them.
Highlight by clicking “Highlight” on the Diigolet. Then
select the text you want to highlight. The text will be visually highlighted
and the text is now stored in your library. It’s that easy. Click the button again to exit highlighter mode.
You can also change the color of a highlight by clicking the
downward-pointing arrow next to “Highlight” and choosing a color. Colors are
useful for differentiating different types of highlights. I will use a
different color for each of the different people I need to consider.
Energy Net on 02 Mar 09CleanTechnica has a post from San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom on the city's proposal to build a wave power plant offshore - Wave Energy to Bring Power and Jobs to San Francisco. Today, San Francisco took a meaningful step toward turning the promise of renewable ocean energy into reality. We submitted a preliminary permit application to the federal government to develop a wave power project off our coast that we believe can generate between 10 to 30 megawatts of energy, with potential of up to 100 megawatts. When this project is fully operational, upwards of 100 jobs could be created in San Francisco. Ocean power is a true "game changer" in the area of renewable energy. When wave and tidal power technologies reach commercial scale, they are expected to be able to provide thousands of megawatts of power to our coastal communities, dramatically green our energy portfolios and create thousands of new American jobs. In San Francisco, we've been doing our part to spur these technologies by aggressively advancing tidal and wave power pilot projects. We are 100% committed to this challenge. Wave power is not a new concept. In 1887, San Francisco Mayor Adolph Sutro recognized the power of San Francisco's waves and built a wave catch-basin to harness the ocean's power. Over the next century wave power development took a backseat to our dependence on oil, with oil platforms built along our coasts to feed our oil addiction.
