Plane talking

Article Abstract:

Tracking down a cheap air fare can be time-consuming, but it is possible to obtain a good deal with a small amount of effort. Cheaper flights are usually obtainable through outlets such as tour operators, airlines, classified advertisements and teletext, but the small print attached to the fare should be examined for possible pitfalls. The best ways to obtain the cheapest deals on flights to the major American and European destinations are outlined.

No contractile obligations

Article Abstract:

Two new materials have been developed that expand when stretched, a remarkable property known as a negative Poisson's ratio. The first material, developed by K.L. Alderson and K.E. Evans, is a microporous ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene polymer. The second material, developed by G. Milton, is a laminated composite material. Both materials may lead to better control of the negative Poisson's property and to a wide variety of potential uses.
