When a bottle of bubbly is not festive enough, the Champagne Sabre will certainly get the party started. Aim towards where the vertical seam of the bottle meets the top lip, and strike away from the base. The pressure inside the bottle automatically ensures a clean, shards cut. Made of stainless steel.

All supposedly ventures of capitalists in the thick of thinking about profit margins and returns on investment, their buildings do have an obvious bottom-line logic-they can be occupied and rented-the landscape expanses can only be looked at. They seemingly do not square, at least not in a straightforward financial sort of way.

If a star and its intervening lens are slightly out of line, the distant light can appear as arcs. If they are exactly lined up, the more distant star can appear as a halo known as an Einstein ring, or as evenly separated images — the Einstein Cross. Astronomers have learned how to use entire galaxies and galaxy clusters as telescopes to see fainter objects beyond them that would otherwise be lost in the fog of time.

According to the nonpartisan Public Interest Declassification Board, a single intelligence agency is producing a petabyte of classified data every 18 months, or the equivalent of 20 million four-drawer file cabinets. The National Archives estimates that, without new technology to accelerate the process, that information would take two million employees a year to review for declassification. Instead, there are just 41 archivists working in College Park, Md., to review records from across the entire federal government — one page at a time.
