Electronic components have a number of electrical terminals or leads. These leads connect to other electrical components, often over wire, to create an electronic circuit with a particular function (for example an amplifier, radio receiver, or oscillator). Basic electronic components may be packaged discretely, as arrays or networks of like components, or integrated inside of packages such as semiconductor integrated circuits, hybrid integrated circuits, or thick film devices.
"man vs woman (complicated) relationship ".
A complicated relationship results when a partner isn't sure what they want or wants to part ways. A partner may have trouble communicating their feelings because they don't want to hurt the other. Understanding a complicated relationship includes learning potential problems contributing to the issue.
Traction (Rutland), a commercial vehicle producer who bought-in and assembled proprietary components.
During the annual cart marking ceremony, around 50 vehicles, of all types from horse-drawn wagons to bicycles, steam engines and modern vans, line up to be branded with a hot iron showing that they are licensed to operate within the City of London. It’s one of the largest events in the city calendar, and visitors can just turn up on the day to enjoy the spectacle. In the old days it was easy for the brands to mark wooden vehicles – this is more of a challenge on metal frames and in the more modern conveyances a block of wood is specially attached to show the marks. Expect richly attired officials and an outstanding array of vehicles. Branding is carried out by the Worshipful Company of Carmen, and the custom is believed to be one of the earliest forms of vehicle registration in the world.

BB 9004 is preserved at Cité du Train, presented in a livery similar to one worn during the 1955 record winning run (Record du monde de vitesse, 29 Mars 1955) . The locomotive, as displayed, uses the body from BB 9003 while using the frame, running gear and internal components from BB 9004. This was done as the body of 9004 was in too poor condition to be preserved.

Extract from Wikipedia,
The Marina was developed under the ADO 28 codename. It was in production from 1971 to 1980 and thereafter as the moderately face-lifted Ital until 1984 when the Morris name was consigned to history. In Australia, it was known as the Leyland Marina, in New Zealand as the Morris 1.7 (for 1979–81, in face-lifted O-Series form), and in South Africa and North America as the Austin Marina.
In the early 1970s, BL decided that conservative, traditionally-engineered cars would be released under the Morris name, while more adventurous cars would be released as Austins or even as new marques — such as the Austin Allegro and Leyland Princess. As a result, the Marina was unadventurous, making use of tried and trusted BMC components derived from the Morris Minor and MGB, and using mainly Triumph Dolomite transmission and running gear. Intended as a stop-gap design until new products were ready later in the 1970s, it was designed by Roy Haynes, the same man who designed the Ford Cortina Mark II, with which it shares some stylistic similarities. Roy Haynes attempted to put forward a system that many manufacturers now use, that of the common floor pan shared between models; the Marina was designed to be the first car utilising this idea. It was looked on as too radical by the management of British Leyland and after a short while Triumph designer Harry Webster was drafted in to push the project forward, Roy Haynes soon leaving the company. This protracted development period and the numerous changes made to the design by the various people working on it had a major effect on the Marina. It meant that the Marina (a car intended to be basic and conventional) cost more to develop than the Austin Allegro, its technically and aesthetically advanced stablemate. This is often held up as a prime example of British Leyland's poor project and cost management. The engines were the venerable A-Series and B-Series units in 1.3 and 1.8 litre capacities, respectively, with rear wheels being driven through a live axle. It featured torsion bar suspension at the front and leaf-spring suspension at the rear, and five body styles, saloon, estate, coupé, pickup and van, the estate coming about almost one and a half years later in late 1972. The TC versions were equipped with a twin carburettor engine similar to that found in the MG MGB for extra performance. These could be fitted with a body kit from BL Special Tuning comprising front and rear spoilers, alloy wheels, extra lighting and other details. A 1.5-litre diesel version, using an engine developed from the B-Series, was offered in Europe.
The car was popular with families and undemanding car buyers, and was available in the typical BL colours of the day — brown, beige, dark limeflower green, dark blue and a characteristically 1970s purple. It was intended to be a competitor to the generally similar Ford Cortina (and to some extent the smaller Escort); the Vauxhall Viva and later Vauxhall Cavalier; and the Hillman Avenger and Hunter. It shared its basic styling with all these cars, adopting a 'trans-atlantic' look that took elements of car styling from contemporary American cars (especially the front-end treatment in the Marina's case) and offered them at a scale acceptable to the European market. As with its mechanics, the Marina was not intended to be visually innovative or particularly interesting — its Austin Allegro stablemate was the entry in that area of the market.
BL was beset with problems including industrial action throughout the period, and the Marina was one of a number of models that suffered. While the BL workers gradually eroded their own employment, manufacturers in Europe and Japan introduced innovative designs (such as the VW Golf) that the Marina and its like were never likely to compete with. The problems were compounded as the cars which were to replace the Marina and BL's other mid-size offerings were delayed again and again (eventually appearing as the Austin Maestro and Austin Montego only in 1983/4). By this point, the idea of separate Austin and Morris ranges had been abandoned: there was not enough money to develop a full range of rear-wheel-drive Morris cars and an equivalent front-wheel-drive (FWD) Austin range and FWD was becoming increasingly acceptable across the market.
There were changes however, albeit small ones. A facelift in 1975 gave the Marina new radiator grilles, dashboard, seats, suspension modifications and increased soundproofing. The overhead camshaft O-Series engine (that also was also used for Leyland Princess) appeared in 1.7 litre form in 1978 to replace the larger B-Series 1.8 models. A changed grille, including driving lights, a front spoiler and redesigned bumpers and rear lights were added to all models.
Under severe financial strain, BL was bailed out by the government in the late 1970s, and Sir Michael Edwardes was brought in to oversee the company. Under his leadership, BL made an attempt to update the Marina, by enlisting the help of Giorgetto Giugiaro's ItalDesign. ItalDesign, however, did not design the car, which was an in-house product—it merely productionized it. The result of this exercise, the 1980 Morris Ital features large rear lamp clusters and a new front end, but the 1971 vintage of the design was obvious. The Ital lasted four years and was replaced by the Austin Montego in early 1984, thus bringing to an end use of the Morris name on passenger cars.

Multiple integrated circuits at the heart of Europe’s space missions, etched together onto a single piece of silicon.
This 20 cm-diameter wafer contains 35 replicas of five different space chips, each incorporating up to about 10 million transistors or basic circuit switches.
Laid down within a microchip, these designs endow a space mission with the ability to perform various specialised tasks such as data handling, communications processing or attitude control.
To save money on the high cost of fabrication, various chips designed by different companies and destined for multiple ESA projects are crammed onto the same silicon wafers, etched into place at specialised semiconductor manufacturing plants.
Once tested for functionality, the chips on the wafer are chopped up and packaged for use, then mounted on printed circuit boards for connection with other microelectronic components aboard a satellite.
Since 2002, ESA’s Microelectronics section has maintained a catalogue of ‘building blocks’ for chip designs, known as Intellectual Property cores, available to European industry through ESA licence.

INDONESIA, Sulawesi - Traditional funeral of Toraja.
Another component of the ritual is the slaughter of water buffalo. The more powerful the person who died, the more buffalo must die.
Die Toraja glauben, dass ein Erdenleben nur ein Übergang ist und nur das Jenseits (Puya) von Bedeutung ist. Beim Tod eines Menschen verlässt die Seele zwar den Körper, aber verbleibt in der nächsten Umgebung. Der Leichnam wird darum einbalsamiert und im hinteren Teil des Hauses aufgebahrt, bis das Begräbniszeremoniell vollzogen ist, was teilweise mehrere Jahre dauern kann. Je höher der Status, desto länger wird der Leichnam im Haus aufbewahrt und umso höher die Erwartung an eine besonders große Beerdigung. Der im Haus aufbewahrte Verstorbene wird wie ein lediglich schlafendes Familienmitglied behandelt. Durch die Behandlung der Leiche mit Formalin wird der Verwesungsprozess verzögert und eine Mumifizierung erreicht. Früher wurden die Leichen einbalsamiert.
Je höher das Ansehen des Toten ist, umso mehr Wasserbüffel (die weißen gelten als die wertvollsten) müssen bei dem Fest geopfert werden. Die Wasserbüffel sind ein Symbol für Macht und Reichtum. Die Toraja glauben, dass der Verstorbene die Büffel braucht, um seine Reise ins Jenseits zu machen, und dass sie schneller nach Puya kommen, wenn viele Büffel geopfert wurden. Bei der Beerdigung ist heute häufig sowohl ein christlicher Priester als auch ein Aluk-Priester (To-Minaa) anwesend. Beerdigungen und andere Feierlichkeiten finden traditionell an einem besonderen Zeremonienplatz dem Rante statt. Auf einigen Rantes sind auch Menhire zu sehen, die für besonders verdienstvolle Verstorbene von hohem Status aufgestellt wurden. An den Begräbnisfeierlichkeiten, welche mehrere Tage dauern können, nehmen hunderte Personen teil. Die Toraja stören sich nicht daran, dass auch Touristen an diesen Feierlichkeiten teilnehmen. Die Teilnehmer tragen Kleidung in dunklen Farben, vor allem rot oder schwarz. Solche Feierlichkeiten können zum finanziellen Ruin führen. Das Schlachten von Dutzenden von Wasserbüffeln und Hunderten von Schweinen mit einer Machete ist der Höhepunkt der aufwendigen Todfeier mit Tanz und Musik und Jungen, die das spritzende Blut in langen Bambusrohren auffangen. Es wird genau buchgeführt, wer der Gäste wie viele Schweine als Geschenk zur Beerdigung mitbringt, stirbt jemand aus deren Familie so ist das Geschenk mit gleicher Geste zu vergelten.

INDONESIEN, Sulawesi - Traditionelle Totenfeier der Toraja bei Makale
In Toraja society, the funeral ritual is the most elaborate and expensive event. The richer and more powerful the individual, the more expensive is the funeral. In the aluk religion, only nobles have the right to have an extensive death feast. The death feast of a nobleman is usually attended by thousands and lasts for several days. A ceremonial site, called rante, is usually prepared in a large, grassy field where shelters for audiences, rice barns, and other ceremonial funeral structures are specially made by the deceased's family. Flute music, funeral chants, songs and poems, and crying and wailing are traditional Toraja expressions of grief with the exceptions of funerals for young children, and poor, low-status adults.
The ceremony is often held weeks, months, or years after the death so that the deceased's family can raise the significant funds needed to cover funeral expenses.Torajans traditionally believe that death is not a sudden, abrupt event, but a gradual process toward Puya (the land of souls, or afterlife). During the waiting period, the body of the deceased is wrapped in several layers of cloth and kept under the tongkonan. The soul of the deceased is thought to linger around the village until the funeral ceremony is completed, after which it begins its journey to Puya.
