“An unexpected side-effect of the flooding in parts of Pakistan has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters.
Because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in spiders webs. People in this part of Sindh have never seen this phenonemon before - but they also report that there are now less mosquitos than they would expect, given the amoungt of stagnant, standing water that is around.
It is thought that the mosquitos are getting caught in the spiders web thus reducing the risk of malaria, which would be one blessing for the people of Sindh, facing so many other hardships after the floods.”

Barriers to thinking new about energy by L. Nader, 1981

This is an article written by Anthropologist and UC Berkeley Professor Laura Nader in the year 1981. It talks about the dialogues scientists and engineers had at that time around alternative energy and technology progress leading into the 2010 year mark. As we now have passed 2010, and also in light of the recent nuclear disaster, this article is an intriguing and important read.
