TV 3 - Cyprus agree bailout deal, Mar 25, 2013


"Cyprus has been potentially saved from bankruptcy and the collapse of its financial system after a ten billion euro bailout was agreed. The president of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiade, helped secured the help of Eurozone finance ministers in Brussels this morning. In return for emergency funding, Cyprus is to wind up its second largest national bank and split it into a so called “good bank/bad bank.” Deposits below one hundred thousand euro will be guaranteed but above that sum depositors face significant losses. The finance minister says that the deal will held to remove the question marks which hang over the country’s future financial health."

SCIENCE RECORDER - Nanowires increase limit of solar cell efficiency, say researchers, Mar 25, 2013

Nanowires increase limit of solar cell efficiency, say researchers
"Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, have discovered that nanowires increase the efficiency of solar cells. For example, a single nanowire is able to concentrate the sunlight that a solar cell is exposed to by up to a factor of 15. The researchers contend that their findings suggest that the likelihood of creating a new type of extremely efficient solar cell in the new future is very high. “Light management is of great importance in photovoltaic cells, as it determines the fraction of incident light entering the device,” write the researchers in the study’s abstract."

INDIAN EXPRESS - Comet, not asteroid, wiped out dinosaurs? Mar 25, 2013

"A speeding comet, rather than an asteroid, slammed into the Earth 65 million years ago and sparked the extinction of the dinosaurs, scientists claim. Many scientists believe the 180 km Chicxulub crater in Mexico was made by the impact that caused the extinction of dinosaurs and about 70 per cent of all species on Earth. The crater was probably blasted out by a faster, smaller object than previously thought, according to the new study presented at the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas."

 "With Apple's acquisition of an indoor-GPS company WiFiSlam, analysts note it will not have significant impact but merely place the U.S. consumer electronics giant's map system on par with Google Maps. However it could open up potential enterprise opportunities for retail and hospitality firms, though also raise potential privacy issues."Alexander Language Schools, Franchise Alexander Language Schools info@als-alexander.org or interalex1@yahoo.com Products and Services

TENNIS News: Maria Sharapova reaches 4th round at Key Biscayne, Mar 25, 2013

Maria Sharapova of Russia
 "Mired in a marathon game midway through the opening set, Maria Sharapova wore down her opponent with characteristic resolve and relentlessness, winning the last point without hitting a shot. That put Sharapova ahead to stay, and she beat fellow Russian Elena Vesnina on a muggy, 85-degree afternoon at the Sony Open, 6-4, 6-2. The No. 3-seeded Sharapova moved into the fourth round, eager to fill one of the few holes in her resume. While she completed a career Grand Slam last year, she has never won Key Biscayne, losing the final in 2005, '06, '11 and '12."
