 Wayne Schmidt's Bubble Page
The one problem I had with this unit was that the air source covered more than one bubble wand at a time, which caused thirty percent of all the bubbles generated to be multiples with as many as ten bubbles stuck together.
It produces enormous quantities of brightly colored bubbles (when used with Gazillion bubble solution), is the easiest and cleanest machine to use and has a unique holder for a bottle of bubble solution that automatically keeps the solution reservoir filled.
The bubbles are larger than the last two machines I tried and the bubble solution packaged with the machine produces durable, long-lasting bubbles that have as much color in them as the top-priced Pustifix solution.

It was argued that the acts of parliament intended rotation to be decided by lottery, not by vote, but that cliques were exploiting the ambiguity of the term ‘ballot’ to reinforce their control of railway boards. Where the immediate reelection of directors was permitted, this may have reinforced the above trends.
All the railway acts from this period stipulated that auditors must not be interested in the concern except as a shareholder.
Although the canal and railway acts were the product of a legal and parliamentary process that had already become routine by the end of the eighteenth century, and although the forms which these acts of incorporation took were similar in layout and presentation, the contents often diverged greatly from one another.

 - Richard Faverty
Faverty soon became Professor Bubbles, one of only four bubbleologists in the world, the first man to encase a human in a bubble, to blow bubbles through the straps of lawn chairs, he says.
He backed into the bubble business in 1980, after a decade as a free-lance photographer, shooting for such respectable rags as Time and Newsweek, and for those checkout-line distractors, the National Enquirer and the Star, where he says he developed a specialty as the "freak" photographer, eschewing the mainstay Elvis, JFK or UFO assignments.
Once in the Orient, he ventured to a prebroadcast banquet to meet the rest of the show's guests: the tallest woman in the world, the oldest woman with tattoos in the world, the man with the longest mustache, the woman with the longest nails, the woman with the strongest head of hair.

The bubble burst in May 1720 when a run on the Banque Royale forced the government to acknowledge that the amount of metallic currency in the country was not quite equal to half the total amount of paper currency in circulation.
Worried about the competition from the bubble companies and in an attempt to sustain their share price, the South Sea Company convinced the government to pass the Bubble Act in June 1720.
The act prevented the establishment of new companies without government permission, and allowed existing companies only to carry out those activities that were prescribed by their charters.

 The Role of a Central Bank in a Bubble Economy - Part IV
Because bubbles in a domestic economy follow rapid internal dynamic processes, it may be difficult to harmonize the slow pace of international diplomacy on economic policy with the rapid developments in a bubble economy.
The authority of a central bank to act to control a share price or land price bubble is likely to be quite uncertain, because the bubbles may not affect the broader economic indicators until the bubble process is already well advanced.
The tools available to the central bank to act against bubbles in the economy are likely to have effects on economic activity outside the bubble economy, and accordingly a central bank is likely to use these tools with caution even if a bubble develops in a particular sector.

Thus the core phenomenon of the speculative bubble is one in which euphoric levels of valuation are validated by the market, and intelligence is measured only by profits, not reasoning and judgment.

 Nobel Prize in Physics 1960 - Presentation Speech
Even if the principle of Glaser's bubble chamber can be considered simple, it represents an exceedingly difficult development program requiring several years of work which lie behind the completed invention which will now be awarded this prize.
The large bubble chamber has also an extremely complicated automatic read-off and calculation apparatus which sends information from the tracks in the bubble chamber into a larger mathematical-computer, which, in turn, after a moment's thought, forwards from the world of atoms the news which the nuclear researcher so eagerly awaits.
By using Glaser's bubble chamber the modern nuclear researcher has at his disposal just the scientific instrument which is required in order to exploit the gigantic atomic accelerators which in recent years have been constructed in atomic research centers in the U.S.A., West Europe, and Russia.
