ROAD CONSTRUCTION...... ROAD CONSTRUCTION..... ROAD CONSTRUCTION....
Do these words frustrate you? It frustrates all of us because ROAD CONSTRUCTION means traffic blockage and waste of time, gas and money.

Part of the increasing medical costs we see comes from the need for diagnosis via either a doctor's visit or, in the case of poorer people, a visit to the emergency room. Often, perhaps 60% of the time, the condition is trivial.
By "Merging Waves" together to create "Electromagnetic Molds"
so that electrons and positrons (holes) hold into certain configurations that would allow Quantum fluid like logical control of atoms and molecules and particles, allowing a more precise production of sensors and electronic circuits.
In Ocean Algal Afforestation (OAA), a macro-algae forest (such as kelp, but any biomass will work) is grown on the ocean surface. Carefully managed harvesting allows the forest to grow to support a complete natural ecosystem with diverse and edible sea life.
Concept: With the world population at 6.9 billion it is physically and financially impossible for everyone to visit the great wonders of the world. Many of these wonders are being preserved in National Parks in countries around the world.
On a typical aircraft wing, a surface that rises from the top surface to help with laminar flow, and depending on the speed,
