Cuban amateur boxing system
Foreign influence contributed to the development of Cuban amateur boxing. Before Fidel Castro took power in 1959, Cuba’s achievements in amateur boxing were diminutive. Components of their boxing style were derived from American Professional Boxing. After the Revolution, Eastern European methodology replaced the American influences. Andrei Chervenko of the Soviet Union has trained Teofilo Stevenson and Europe’s Vasili Romanov has trained boxers as well.
The Cuban amateur boxing system along with other sports programs start in grammar schools. Sports are considered a high priority in the Cuban education system and its there a potential athlete can be recognized. From the age of 12, talented youths are sent to specialized schools where they can focus on enhancing their skills. From there the young boxers train throughout a very competitive youth program. The ones that graduate from the program are sent to the top school in Wajay, where they train advanced drills and exercises. The support that the state gives is crucial to the advancement of the highly technical boxing program.
Amateur boxer Teofilo Stevenson who had won three Olympic gold medals in (1972, 1976, and 1980) has made many contributions to Cuba and Cuban boxing. He is equally known for his sportsmanship, receiving the UNESCO Pierre de Coubertin Fair Play prize in 1989. After retiring in boxing in 1986 he has served both in the Cuban parliament and as a vice president of the Cuban Boxing Federation.
After a career of fighting for their country most Cubans continue to stay in the sport, many as administrators or trainers. Through this way the knowledge and experience is passed down to the next generation of athletes.

Active components of the tireflies. The circular structure is a coil spring, which we are seeing end-on. When the structure is bumped, the spring bends until it hits one of the walls around it. When that happens, the circuit turns on and blinks for a little while. A neat trick is to instead force it to blink all day long by making the spring touch the walls all the time.

Four photos of the internal components of the CFHT Cloud Camera. The camera is a Canon Rebel DSLR modified for full spectral response, and mated to a single-board computer. The computer operates the camera, processes the images on-board, and exports the processed images via an ethernet cable. The entire camera is fitted into a stainless housing to protect it from the weather where it is mounted on the outside catwalk on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope dome at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii.
The camera was built to monitor thin high cirrus clouds, which can be invisible to the naked eye, but can still have an adverse effect on night-time observations.. These modifications include the full-spectrum modification on the detector, and a number of software modifications to increase the camera's available low-light gain.
Because of these modifications, the images produced with it don't look like the images from a conventional camera. Even very dim objects like stars become visible, and objects that seem dim to us like planets and the moon become real sources of illumination for the landscape.

HBM, fabricante de equipos y componentes para la medida de magnitudes mecánicas y pesaje, anuncia su nuevo indicador digital de pesaje DWS2103 que ayuda a realizar básculas sujetas a verificación oficial, que cumplen con la directiva de dispositivos de medida (Measuring Instruments Directive – MID) de la Unión Europea.
Como este indicador trabaja con células de pesaje analógicas y digitales, HBM ofrece células digitales del tipo FIT, asà como células de pesaje analógicas y electrónicas de transductores del tipo AED. Esto permite componer básculas tanto sujetas a verificación oficial como automáticas.
Por lo tanto, el nuevo indicador de pesaje resulta especialmente interesante para aquellos sistemas abiertos que trabajan con un PLC y buses de campo estándar, ya que se pueden integrar de forma sencilla y económica en una solución de pesaje sujeto a verificación oficial.
La directiva MID de la Unión Europea exige el incremento en la protección ante la manipulación en la transmisión de datos, por ejemplo, desde una célula de carga a una unidad de visualización. Por este motivo, la transmisión de datos en el DWS2103 se realiza mediante el método de encriptación indescifrable Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), que trabaja con una llave de 256 bit. Este algoritmo de encriptación cumple los requisitos de la guÃa 7.2 de la WELMEC, que excluye cualquier tipo de manipulación en la transmisión de datos, garantizando siempre la capacidad de pesaje de una báscula.
Además, la transmisión digital de la señal ofrece otras ventajas al usuario. Por ejemplo, permite el envÃo de datos sin cable vÃa WLAN y, a la vez, una separación galvánica. Además, el indicador de pesaje DWS2103 no necesita estar instalado directamente en la báscula. De este modo, es posible el acceso a la gestión de recursos digitales y el envÃo automático de información sobre básculas digitales a un sistema superior de control, contribuyendo a dotar de una mayor disponibilidad.
While Magic 8-Ball did not exist in its current form until 1950, the functional component was invented by Albert C. Carter, who was inspired by a "spirit writing" device used by his mother, Mary, a Cincinnati clairvoyant. When store owner Max Levinson was approached by Carter about stocking the device, he called in his brother-in-law Abe Bookman, a graduate of Ohio Mechanics Institute. In 1944, Carter filed patent for his device, assigning it to Bookman, Levinson, and another partner in what came to be Alabe Crafts, Inc. (Albert & Abe) in 1946. Under the Alabe name, they marketed and sold the device as The Syco-Seer. Carter, who, according to Bookman, was an alcoholic, died sometime before the patent was granted in 1948. Bookman soon made improvements to the Syco-Seer and in 1948, it was encased in an iridescent crystal ball. Though unsuccessful, the revamped product caught the attention of Chicago's Brunswick Billiards. In 1950 they commissioned Alabe Crafts to make a version in the form of a
traditional black & white 8-ball.

According to Wikipedia
Here are the basic parts of the system: at left, a standard 7x21 Bushnell Sportview Compact binocular; at lower right, the front lens, 50mm in diameter and about 150mm focal length; and at upper right, the piece that I made out of 2mm thick ABS plastic sheet to attach the lens to the binocular. The strap that holds the mount onto the binocular is just some adhesive backed Velcro - hook on one piece and loop on the other, each piece just folded back and stuck to itself to attach it (the hook piece had a lot of sticky back side left over, so I just stuck some fabric onto that to cover up the sticky stuff). As I mentioned above, there is a 49mm skylight filter glued into the big round hole in this plate, with its male filter thread facing forward to receive the front lens.
In addition to providing a way to mount the lens to the binocular, the plate also blocks any stray light that would otherwise enter the binocular from around the edges of the front lens (which would not be a good thing for clear viewing).
You can use any positive lens that you can find and fit. The only real limitation is that it must be large enough to get a view through it with both objectives, but you don't need 100% of the objectives to come within the diameter of the lens. A shorter focal length will give you more power but a shorter working distance, while a longer lens will give you more space at the sacrifice of some power. Very short lenses will require increasingly high quality to avoid visible aberrations, and when you get shorter than 100mm or so viewing becomes less comfortable - I think because of a mismatch between the power and the lens separation, you reach a point where your eyes don't want to combine the images if the power is too great. Even a very long lens like 500mm, although it doesn't compute as a magnifier per se, still allows you to focus a 7 - 8 power binocular at a distance of a half meter, with obvious advantages for observing small living (or otherwise potentially dangerous) things.
It's not uncommon to see "custom" turbocharger systems on the market featuring generic off the shelf silicon hoses. To engineer truly custom silicon hoses, as is the case with an APR Stage III Turbocharger System, months of planning and engineer time must take place.
APR's Engineers use a Fero Arm to plot points of contact within the engine bay and mounting surfaces, such as the turbocharger, to help aid in design and fitment through CAD Software. This gives the engineers a work space for designing parts without worry of contacting components in the engine bay.

Once the engine bay and attached items are mapped, the engineers are able to begin designing parts on the computer. We currently use the latest version of Pro Engineer, which is now called creo. It's an extremely powerful software suite that gives our Engineers the flexibility they need to design and test many components in a simulated environment, long before they ever make a physical part.
Here's a fully designed Stage 3 Turbocharger System, long before any physical parts are produced. The images can be rotated, split apart, moved around, altered, etc.

Once the Engineers complete a design, it's sent to our Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer to print out a physical part we can test in the engine bay. It's necessary to print out the design and test because some items in the engine bay are not static. Under load the engine will rock back and forth, so clearance must be confirmed before proceeding. Printing 3D parts also allows us to test parts on other makes and models around the world. Our UK facility and our partners in Australia test Right Hand Drive vehicles we do not see in the US.

The printer uses a laser to harden a liquid material into a useable part. In the example below, we are using the SLA to create a compressor housing for use on a TTRS Stage III Turbocharger System. The process is identical when creating silicon hoses for the Golf R Stage III Turbocharger System:
The Laser burns in the design, one tiny layer at a time:
a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/331027_1015033846...
When finished, the part is removed and sent over to an ultra violet chamber which hardens the piece:
a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/337398_1015033893...
The finished piece looks like this and can be fitted and tested in the car:
a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/322368_1015033893...
The same process takes place for nearly every component we design on the Stage III Turbocharger System. The parts are then installed and fitment is verified. Once engineering gives the green light, a cast mandrel is created and then machined in house to act as the mould for making the production parts. This is an extremely expensive process, which is why many kits use off the shelf, generic hosing, however quality and features cannot be matched using other methods. It's Performance Without Compromise.
APR manufactures all hoses in North America to ensure high levels of quality and workmanship. The hoses are then fit with custom hose barbs and spigots for all of the necessary OEM equipment to connect and many of these parts are designed and created in house on our Mazak CNC lathe. The lathe feeds bar stock from one end to automate the production process and runs round the clock with two shifts of operators operating almost 24/7.

Each hose is a wire reinforced, high quality, multi-pli silicon design. The hoses are very stiff so under boost and vacuum the hoses will not swell or collapse and restrict airflow like traditional hoses. If you're at Waterfest or H2O this year, stop by our booth and squeeze one of the hoses on display!

All of the correct OEM spigots and outlets for boost / vacuum reference lines are included in the OEM locations. OEM PCV and EVAP connections are properly in place with OEM style one-time-use crimp clamps holding securing each piece.
One often overlooked feature of the APR Stage III Silicon Hose Design is the use of stepped mounting surfaces for smooth transition from one piece to the other. Traditional hoses simply sit on top of the other mounting surfaces, which can disrupt airflow. The APR hose design is stepped so they mount flush, offering a truly custom and ideal design.

Up next we'll discuss a few more cast parts in the induction system!
A Beyer-Garratt is a type of steam locomotive that is articulated in three parts. Its boiler is mounted on the centre frame, and two steam engines are mounted on separate frames, one on each end of the boiler. Articulation permits larger locomotives to negotiate curves and lighter rails that might restrict large rigid-framed locomotives.

Kavalcare Solar System for Jhpiego Mid-Wife Clinic Dec8, 2014
Every year, 12,000 women in Pakistan die of birth complications. The Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) Services Component, implemented by MCHIP/Jhpiego, aims at preventing maternal, newborn, and child deaths by ensuring skilled birth attendance (SBA) through a total market approach, empowered community, timely referral of obstetric and neonatal complications to an emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) facility, and improved access to child care.
Lack of electricity in remote areas is a major issue that often leads to obstetric complications and newborn deaths. Refrigerated storage is vital for the effectiveness of life saving drugs and vaccines. Ice boxes are used in remot areas of this purpose but it is an ineffective method especially when easy availability of ice is a problem. To overcome these issues, Lodhie Foundation in association with Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program/JHPIEGO, extended its Kavalcare program and provided a Solar Powered System to a remote clinic located at village Haji Usman Jhakro near Makli, District Thatta. System provides sufficient power to operate a small refrigerator, a fan and 3 lamps 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. It was designed, manufactured and installed by Shaan Technologies private Limited Karachi. After installation of Solar System in August 2014, this small remote clinic is serving a community of 10,000 plus persons who lives in village Haji Usman and surrounding areas. On an average 10 patients visits this clinic each day. Clinic also provides up to 15 birth attendance and new born care in a month.

The laser mounts I designed turned out not to fit - a slight scaling error between the SVG original and illustrator export. Eventually I turned the mounts around and drilled two 12MM holes that fitted the lasers almost exactly.
Some duck tape did the rest - something to recon with in a next iteration
