L'extraordinaire originalité des confitures « Ogizo » résulte d'un concept simple et écologique : celles-ci bénéficient d'une cuisson solaire à "ciel ouvert". En effet, la particularité des mélanges est qu'ils mijotent doucement dans de petites bassines en cuivre disposées sur des fours solaires. L’utilisation d’énergie polluante est donc parfaitement inexistante. De plus, le procédé permet la conservation des vitamines et minéraux ainsi que de toute la saveur des aliments.

2 nouvelles gammes de produits sont actuellement en préparation. D’une part des confitures destinées aux diabétiques 100% fruits, sans sucre. D’autre part, une gamme labellisée AB (Agriculture Biologique) qui aura la spécificité d'être bio de A à Z, des fruits à l'étiquette.

Le lancement officiel des confitures "Ogizo" se fera au cours du festival international de l'innovation I'NOV, du 10 au 13 octobre au Pavillon du Pin Galant à Mérignac. A cette occasion, vous pourrez assister à des démonstrations de fabrication et déguster les produits de la marque.

Rodd Miller, however, has come up with an idea for sunglasses that even I would pay top dollar for:

From the concept description on inventorspot.com:

"Whether it's applying make-up in the car while driving to the mall or simply repairing a toilet flapper valve for your sister, Uber Shades has the tools to do it all with style and class."

If I sit on these, I can easily repair them with the tools inside, provided I haven't impaled myself with the corkscrew. I like it. Get these babies made already, Rodd.

At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycleshave changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'

Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ' I want to hang out with God.'

St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.

God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidsonmotorcycle? '

Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...'

God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?'

Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?'

God said, 'Ah, yes.'

'Well,' said Arthur, professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention !

1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension

2. It chatters constantly at high speeds

3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much

4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust

5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!

'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.'

God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.

The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours'.

A camera launched from the South Pole Station, for example, would find Mars rocks on Earth as meteorites with a camera supported 50 meters high by a balloon and drug along the surface by a weather balloon. The camera would take photos every 10 meters and send them back to the base radio reciever along with the GPS location. The drag package would contain the radios, batteries and more and provide a method for maintaining an appropriate altitude.

The whole pre-packaged assembly could be sent by commercial mail to a launch site where the camera would be launched when the weather forecast indicated moderate winds for the next four days. At a ground speed of about 10 meters per second and with an altitude of 50 meters there would be a swath of stereo pictures 100 meters wide and in four days it might cover 34 square kilometers. That is overly optimistic but it would be a lot of area. 

Professor Charles C. Benton of Berkeley, CA has a lot of experience with this type of aerial photography. Here is his page on aerial equipment.

This is a vertical shot of a beach shown here at much lower resolution than would be used in the Mars rock search. But even here you can see that in a pure white field, such as would be found in Antarctica, spotting individual dark things would be possible. Because the pictures would be stereo pairs and possibly several overlapping pairs it would be even easier to see them. Most of the searching could be done by computer scanning of the images because there is little reasoning needed to see something black on a white field. Later these computer hits would be looked at more carefully by humans and then by experts. Promising finds' locations would then cataloged and later gone to by humans and retrieved. 

The entire process might be done safely for under $10,000 and it might save $1,000,000,000 and many lives.
