In classic Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! fashion, the Mystery Inc., gang was framed this past Sunday, when a woman took their iconic Mystery Machine on a joy ride that attracted the attention of the police. The woman in question was driving a minivan painted to look just like the iconic vehicle from the popular Saturday morning cartoon series and live-action movie franchise. She evaded the Northern California police in Redding, engaging them in a high-speed pursuit . The chase began this past Sunday afternoon. 51-year-old Sharon Kay Turman was behind the wheel of her 1994 Chrysler Town and Country Minivan, which she used to outrun a number of squad cars. The van was painted teal and green, with the words ' The Mystery Machine ' printed on the side. The vehicle is most often used to haul Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo to their various investigations. But this time, there was something a bit more nefarious to its use. Redding police Cpl. Levi Solada had this to say … [Read more...] about Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine Leads Police on a High Speed Chase

REUTERS: Confused by kilowatts? Can’t tell an anode from a cathode? Here is a simple guide to the jargon likely to be tossed around at Tesla’s Battery Day on Sept. 22. CELLS AND PACKS A Tesla Model 3 uses a single lithium-ion battery pack that houses four smaller modules. Each module contains 700 to 1,000 individual cylindrical cells, shaped much like the ones in a flashlight. Cells can come in different shapes and sizes, but most have three key elements: Electrodes, electrolyte and separator. Electrodes store the lithium. The electrolyte carries the lithium ions between electrodes. The separator keeps the positive electrode from coming in contact with the negative electrode. Energy, in the form of electricity, is discharged from the battery cell when lithium ions flow from the negative electrode, or anode, to the positive electrode, or cathode. When the cell is charging, those ions flow in the opposite direction, from cathode to anode. Panasonic supplies cylindrical … [Read more...] about Explainer: How to interpret Tesla’s Battery Day lingo

If you aren’t able to find toilet paper in your neighbourhood supermarket owing to the panic buying , it may be a good time to switch to washing instead of wiping. Although research on which makes a more hygienic method – wiping or washing – is scarce, some experts are advocating the latter. "Think about using dry toilet paper. You're leaving a residue of stool and bacteria, whereas if you're using a bidet, you’re washing that away," said Dr Phillip Buffington, the chief medical officer of The Urology Group in the US. As a result, those who wash or use the bidet “are much less likely to have issues with rashes and discomfort and irritation," said Dr Allen Kamrava, a California-based colorectal and general surgeon, in Healthline. There’s also the issue of anal tears because not everyone wipes gently with toilet paper. Dr Evan Goldstein, a rectal surgeon in New York City, said in Business Insider Singapore that the most common anus-related injuries are tears caused by … [Read more...] about No toilet paper?
