DTV Converter Coupons

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

In 2009, when this transition was implemented in the US, there was plentiful advertising and two government coupons for each household to defray the cost of dtv converter boxes. Asked why PSAs are only now being launched less than six months before Canada's dtv transition, Hutton responds by saying the United States "went too early and too big" in its dtv transition and $1 billion set-top converter box coupon programs. So the government put incentives in for families to get up to two digital converter boxes with a coupon.

Rerunning a study from the 1950s, scientists have discovered how amino acids came to be, providing them new clues how life might have arisen on earth

The Origin of Life

How did life start on Earth? Science still has no definitive answer. But in the 1950s, a pair of chemists mixed a stew of poisonous gases, like you’d find at a volcano. They zapped it with electricity, mimicking lightning. And they found that they’d created a few amino acids. All life on Earth relies on these compounds to make proteins. [More]

sciencehabit writes “In the 1950s, scientist Stanley Miller conducted a series of experiments in which he zapped gas-filled flasks with electricity. The most famous of these, published in 1952, showed that such a process could give rise to amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. But a later experiment, conducted in 1958, sat on the shelf–never analyzed by Miller. Now, scientists have gone …
