Dans cet opus: Karen Brewer, six ans, s'accommode parfaitement de sa vie entre deux familles recomposées. Cette fois, elle se fait une joie de passer deux semaines chez son père, où elle prend plaisir à se faire garder par sa demi-soeur, Kristy. La fillette s'intéresse également de près à la voisine, Mme Porter, qu'elle a rebaptisée Morbida Destinée et qu'elle soupçonne être une sorcière. Comment expliquer autrement ses robes noires, ses cheveux en bataille, son chat noir prénommé Minuit et le fait qu'elle passe son temps à balayer et à cultiver des herbes dans son jardin? En l'espionnant, Karen l'entend évoquer une réunion importante, qui ne peut dans son esprit qu'être une assemblée de sorcières! Il n'en faut pas plus pour qu'elle entraîne son amie Hanni dans un plan visant à démasquer cette terrible Morbida et à devenir l'héroïne de la communauté...

Generating Electricity Within the Body


From the Curio.ca streaming audio-visual collection. One challenge for medical devices that are implanted within the body - such as pacemakers, drug pumps or neural stimulators - is power. Generally, they're powered by batteries, but when the power runs out, the batteries have to be replaced, requiring further invasive surgery. Professor John Rogers, from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has developed a device that can generate electricity from the movement of organs within the body. His device uses a piezo-electric material that produces electricity when bent. When attached to a beating heart, it produces enough electricity to run a pacemaker or other device, while apparently having no impact on the heart's function.
