[dba-Tech] OT: Too much time on their hands

Fine Jim, thanks for asking. Am only an Access part-timer now but I keep an
eye on the list still. Judged by some members' experience I count myself
lucky to have work. I think I'll reach retirement without having to learn a
new technology, for which I'm thankful. Don't think my small brain could
cope.

Cheers

Andy

Agreed, and you can see how red wine can make a lot things attractive.

Long time no hear...so how has it being going? :-)

Jeez what a waste of red wine.

You want to be a superconductor?  Is that your secret super power?  Or you
just want to run roughshod over the passengers on your train?

Now that is very interesting.

An aside: I have always wondered why I am drawn toward marinated beef
especially with red wine. Now we have the answer.

*"Red wine is a popular marinade for meat, but it also may become a popular
treatment for creating iron-based superconductors as
well<http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/27664/?p1=blogs>
 (Link to academic paper <http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.4503>): 'Last year, a
group of Japanese physicists grabbed headlines around the world by
announcing that they could induce superconductivity in a sample of iron
telluride by soaking it in red wine. They found that other alcoholic drinks
also worked - white wine, beer, sake and so on - but red wine was by far the
best. The question, of course, is why. What is it about red wine that does
the trick? Today, these guys provide an answer - at least in part.
Keita Deguchi at the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba,
Japan, and a few buddies, say the mystery ingredient is tartaric acid and
have the experimental data to show that it plays an important role in the
process. ... It turns out the best performer is a wine made from the gamay
grape - for the connoisseurs, that's a 2009 Beajoulais from the Paul Beaudet
winery in central France.'"*
