Brent Christner, LSU professor of biological sciences, in partnership with colleagues in Montana and France, recently found evidence that rain-making bacteria are widely distributed in the atmosphere. These biological particles could factor heavily into the precipitation cycle, affecting climate, agricultural productivity and even global warming. Christner and his colleagues published their results on Feb 29 in the journal Science.

How often have you thought to yourself “I wish I had an ice cube maker?” I’m going to guess that most of you won’t have ever had that thought. It’s understandable, since practically everyone owns a freezer, which makes ice cubes. However, if you need a lot of ice in a short while, you’ll be disappointed. This is why the Ice Cube Maker Machine was created.

This simple device can freeze up a dozen cubes of ice in just 10 minutes. When you’re serving a lot of guests at a large gathering, a steady supply of ice is always needed. It accomplishes this feat by utilizing a highly efficient compressor which can freeze at much faster rates than a regular freezer. You’ll also be happy to note that it is a low-noise machine, so your guests won’t be bothered by any loud humming noises.
