kensington runestone

About 1100 Ad a group of kinghts rode into the deserts of jerusalem and conducted an excavation. They returned to the west with what they found and were proclaimed official knights of the religious sect by the pope, granting them unlimited power and influence. They then used their find to amass vast amounts of wealth, enough to fund a large amount of the crusades. Afterwards, being uncontrollably in debt, a lord ordered the slaughter of these knights on friday the 13th, possibly the origin of that stigma, instead of reimbursement. Many of them were tortured before they were killed. The remaining knights gathered together in their fleet of ships, amassed from the wealth funded by their find, and sailed away, never to be seen again. there is a chance that they traveled to scotland and fought with robert the bruce against the english and there is another chance, which is now being proven that they travelled to america and, perhaps, left their find.
Although I am not familiar with all of the exact details, the kensington runestone could be evidence that these knights, known commonly as the knights templar, came to america with their find, this possibly being the holy grail.

solar ink!!!! incredible green technology

check this out. solar ink. a breakthrough in green technology.

What is Solar Ink?
Good question. Do you write with it?

No - but you probably could if you wanted to. The breakthrough is that it is actually printable.

Okay, not to confuse you any further. Solar Ink is a new method of dissolving tiny particles of silicon (nano particles, which are only a few atoms thick), into a solution which allows one to "print" solar panels (in extremely thin layers), onto all sorts of materials. It can be printed out by the acre, and is a fast process which would allow a vast quantity of solar paneling to be produced, at only a fraction of the current cost.

A solution such as the one above is exactly what we need in order to rapidly and inexpensively mass-produce solar panels.

The future for solar energy can be very bright - it's just a matter of what we do with it.

Thin Film Solar Panels
Solar ink is used to make thin film solar panels. These are flexible solar panels which can be rolled up and easily transported. They are a common solution as portable solar power for hiking and camping trips, since they are lightweight and can be easily rolled up and attached to the top of a backpack, or transported by hand.
