In a United Kingdom plan to reduce access barriers in museums, archives and libraries, an organization called Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries has created a database of 200 trainers, auditors and consultants specializing in disability issues. The database offers support and advice on all disability issues. Marcus Weisen, Resources Disability Officer, says: "In the past databases of disability trainers, auditors and consultants in the cultural sector were merely address lists and they were not available on the Web. With this new system, we can allow users to browse categorized listings to find the best match for their needs." The disability database is available on the Resource Web site at:

CMU has announced 20 Personal Exploration Rovers (PERs) that will make the round to science museums around the US. The Linux-based robots will simulate real Mars rovers within "Mars yards", sand-box like replicas of Martian terrain.

Future plans of CMU's Personal Rover Project include lowering the cost of future rovers to the point that kids can buy one and take it home with them. Additional photos and video are available from the CMU site and from NASA TV.

The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven

The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven 04/27/2004 05:27 PM
Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are nothing new. Virgin, both in the UK and the US, has been quite successful creating their own mobile phone carrier, despite not having a network of their own, but simply handling the branding and management, while leaving all the technology issues to a network operator partner. So far, most MVNOs seem to be targeting the youth market (often with "pre-paid plans"), and considering just how lucrative that market seems these days, it's no surprise that plenty of others want into the market. However, operating the whole MVNO is probably a lot of work, so now we're getting to the point where you have virtual MVNOs (VMVNOs) who will do all the work for a company, and simply slap their brand on the final product. That seems to be what's happening with convenience store 7-Eleven, who has announced plans to sell pre-paid mobile phones and service under the "Speak Out" brand - though, all the work appears to be done by Ztar Mobile. Other retailers are quickly expected to follow. Wal-Mart is at the top of the list, with Costco and Home Depot also apparently considering their own mobile phone offerings. The idea is to target younger users, or those with bad credit histories, who can simply pick up a phone at the store, and use it until their minutes run out, at which point they can top it up again - back at the store, of course.

You shouldn't have to forego sunlight and views to keep your house cool. Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a glass coating that allows visible spectrum and low-temperature infrared light to pass through. But if the temperature goes above 29 degrees Celsius, the glass reflects the infrared radiation. According to Scientific American, the coating, consisting of vanadium dioxide with a pinch of tungsten, "currently has a somewhat unattractive yellowy brown color, which the researchers hope to be able to remove with future refinements."
