Hazardous chemicals stay in the environment for long periods of time, and do not biodegrade or break down easily. Because hazardous chemicals are slow to break down, they can remain in the soil, water or ice for many years after they have been banned. 3, record 1, English, - hazardous%20chemicals

The British Columbia Social Credit Party, whose members are known as Socreds, was the governing political party of British Columbia, Canada, for more than 30 years between the 1952 provincial election and the 1991 election. For three decades, the party dominated the British Columbian political scene, with the only break occurring between the 1972 and 1975 elections when the New Democratic Party of British Columbia was in power. 1, record 3, English, - British%20Columbia%20Social%20Credit%20Party

Tilt-up construction is a fast, economical way of erecting concrete walls. However when these structures are not properly supported and secured, the consequences can be fatal.... A few years ago, three construction employees in North Carolina were taking a lunch break in the shade of a concrete tilt-up wall panel.

Crab Meal is made up of crushed and dried crab shells, made into a fine powder. It has dual agricultural purposes. It is used as a free choice feed supplement for laying hens and can also be used for long term release of calcium into the soil. The shells are crushed to a size appropriate for poultry consumption and spread easily in the garden where they slowly break down over the years to release their trace minerals. 2, record 6, English, - crab%20meal

The real break through(in DVD technology) has come in the chemistry laboratories of Agfa in Belgium, where scientists are experimenting with data storage on a molecular plane, using a layer of photo-addressable polymers on the disc. The polymers have side-chains that rotate into one of 36 positions when subjected to light. Before recording, the polymer layer is opaque. Once subjected to light, the polymer's side-chains rotate to an extent that is controlled by varying the strength of the laser impulse. The laser will not be reading a two-dimensional system of pit/no-pit but a three-dimensional scale of grey dots, corresponding to four bits on each molecule. the twisting molecule discs could be on the market in about 10 years. 1, record 9, English, - molecular%20CD
