Remote Snow Plow and Blower Robot
SuperDroid Robots' remote control SnowPlow and SnowBlower allow you to remotely remove snow while you stay warm in your home.
Remote Snow Plow and Blower Robot
SuperDroid Robots' remote control SnowPlow and SnowBlower allow you to remotely remove snow while you stay warm in your home.
We recently completed a snow blower prototype and are looking to improve our design and reduce manufacturing costs to make it more affordable to everyone. This is a robotic snow blower, which features the Ariens 24 snow blower. The power of this 4WD robot will allow you to clear your driveway and sidewalk while you stay in the comfort of your home or business.
We are also offering a robotic snow plow. The prototype, that you may have seen on CNN or The Weather Channel, had a 6WD chassis with 13" tiller tires and a 52" wide snow plow blade mounted to the front of the robot with an air cylinder for remotely lifting and lowering the blade. Since then, we have redesigned it to be 4WD, increased its power, narrowed the chassis for easier driving and storage.
We are looking for your backing to improve our designs, reduce manufacturing costs, and provide an option as a DIY package so we can offer the robots at a more affordable price. SuperDroid Robots build custom robots all the time. We have built thousands of robots. One of the main requests is to provide the robot in kit form for DIY. The issue with providing a "one-off" robot as DIY is we have to build, assemble, and test the robot to make sure it works. We also have to document all the steps and write the instruction manual. So for a one-off production, it cost more to do a DIY than provide a assembled unit. If backed we will be able to provide the snow plow and snow blower in kit form. Of course we are still going to offer it assembled for those who want the RTR (Ready to Run) package.
We realize the cost of these robots are very high. When compared to the hassle of going out in the cold and hurting your back or having a heart attack, this cost is not bad at all. You will be the hit of the neighborhood if bought for personal use. If bought for commercial use, it is a huge time saver and no more workers comp claims...
The robots are built in the USA and built tough. They are made super rugged and built to do a very hard job. Heavy duty motors (we loaded them up to 130Amps @24VDC - over 4HP and there was still room to go). 1inch solid steel axles. Sealed ball bearings. Large 13 inch tiller tires. 3/16 thick welded aluminum chassis. 70 Ahr of battery power @ 24VDC.
The remotely operated snow blower and snow plow are intended for the home, business, or municipality which requires snow removal.
See who is talking about SuperDroid Robot's remote controlled snow removal robot.

How did we test a remote controlled snow blower in November in North Carolina?
Lessons Learned
With a 38.5" wide body, we were only able to deploy the snow plow through a standard garage door. In order to appeal to a larger audience we shrunk the width to 26" to accommodate a standard door opening. We also redesigned the chassis to accommodate wheel chair motors and made it 4WD for more power. We also narrowed the plow to 34".
The 2nd generation snow plow is comprised of a 4WD welded 26" x 35" chassis. With a 34" or less blade.
The 1st generation remote controlled snow blower as seen below, uses the same chassis as the snow plow but has a cutout in the front for the attachment of the Ariens Compact 24 snow blower. It also includes a different battery layout along with a secondary cover.
Risks and challenges
There's very little risk for the backer. SuperDroid Robots has been working with robots for over 25 years and we have a capable and experienced team of engineers, technicians, and fabricators.
Through the years we have made many contacts with suppliers, machine shops, fabrication facilities, laser cutters, water jet cutting, etc. With our relationships with local vendors, larger projects can be affordably managed.
SuperDroid Robots has a complete in-house machine shop, including several CNC machines, break presses, TIG and MIG welding, and plasma cutting. This enables us to produce low quantity production and prototyping.
Our challenge, what we need your help with, is to produce our robotic solutions in a volume necesary to bring down cost and provide these solutions to the consumer.
With your help we are confident that we can meet our goals, deadlines, and price-points.

Switzerland's watch exports last year fell by almost 10%, the maximum decline for the last 7 years. The demand for luxury watches has declined in almost all countries except China, Japan and the United States. Russia again made the record, because there is a demand for Swiss watches not simply fell, and fell more than 20%. Experts cite several reasons, including the interest of Russians to Apple technology, why luxury watches stop being indispensable accessory for businessmen and officials. According to the "Coherent", in 2016 a "smart" watch Apple Watch became the most popular in Russia wearable device.
The demand for Swiss watches in Russia proved to be the most sensitive. According to the Federation of the enterprises of the Swiss watch industry, Swiss watch exports Swiss brands in our country in 2016 decreased by 21.6% compared to the year 2015 and 44.3% compared with 2014, said head of the LSM in the Department of private banking of the Bank Kirill Filatov.
One of the reasons for the drop in sales of Swiss watches in Russia – the business etiquette that is reflected in the accessories lounge. Times faster, technology is updated rapidly, which affects the liberalization in all respects, experts say. According to the top Manager of ADG Group Dmitry Yurtsvayg, in recent years, when the popularity of Apple products has grown exponentially, unwritten requirements of the premium accessories in the middle and upper echelons of business have become more democratic.
"Now that there's the Apple Watch, the need to wear expensive Swiss watches are not so obvious. To produce at the meeting the right impression you can do without them", – shares his observations of this top Manager. Moreover, for lovers of fashion brands of the Apple Watch are manufactured with exquisite straps, for example, Hermes house.
However, Swiss manufacturers do not lose optimism. According to experts, really in the history of the Swiss watch will not go away. "Trends and fashion timepieces vary from year to year, but the Russian customers always appreciate high quality and precision and also classic design and high functionality of the Swiss products. The rhythm of life not allow it to lag for a minute and invited the watchmakers to meet these trends," said Kirill Filatov. The same opinion is shared by Dmitry Yurtsvayg. He believes that the demand for products of the luxury watch brands will always exist.
Meanwhile, according to "Coherent" in 2016, Apple occupied about 50% of the Russian market "smart" hours.
"The most popular smart-have accessory in Russia (and, accordingly, the top-selling "smart" clock) is the Apple Watch approximately every fourth user of the wearable gadget has taken on in 2016, this is the device that" writes "the Messenger".
The company noted that the Apple Watch will attract buyers not only for its functionality but also design. Another factor in the growth of interest in the Apple Watch is the demand of the iPhone in Russia – in 2016, Apple's smartphones have occupied a leading position in the market of "smart" phones in our country.

Article Title
In the closing decades of the 20th Century the long tradition of writing and storytelling focused on nature and place began to attract for the first time a substantial, theorised body of critical response, usually brought together under the rubric of ecocriticism (Hornung ix). Landmark anthologies (e.g. Warren; Plant) and monographs (e.g. Buell; Murphy) began laying out a rough map of the theoretical territory and there were heated and lively contributions and contentions from different disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy (Plumwood; Cuomo; Warren); sociology (Salleh; Gare); politics (Bookchin; Eckersley). In 2011, Buell, Heise and Thornber offered a thoroughgoing review of how that territory has evolved in the opening decade of this century. This paper is written from the perspective of an ecofeminist practitioner of environmental writing and explores the perils, pleasures and purposes of such work in a postmodern context.

When I saw the enlargement I thought about an older picture of Camiel which was made at a profesional photographer and was lying in the closet for a those year, I didn't know what to do with it. So I decided to crop it a bit and used it for this LO.
Take a look what the other girls made with this great sketch and you still can win the RAK of the month may.
I also made a LO with the fabulous Studio Calico kit Lawn Party.

The revolution of denim throughout the last couple of seasons is remarkable! Patchwork, retro styles, embellished and decorated denim are only some of the transformation of this never ageing fabric. The diversity of the denim gives you a way to wear denim clothes every day – for every mood, there is a pair of jeans or denim co-ordinates. Whether it will be the vibrant blue indigo denims with a feeling of a retro 70s style or a more statement piece with embellishments or patchwork, the denim is a must-have item for this summer!
What is your favourite denim style?

Data accidentally deleted with WinSCP. Recovery possible.
I made a huge error yesterday and deleted some folders on an external hard drive which was mounted to a linux machine running scientific experiments. I wanted to delete a lot of temporary files in the root directory of the drive and must have selected the folders containing data as well although I was sure I didn't. But the data is gone. The hard drive was formatted with FAT32 and the remote PC was running Ubuntu Alternate Edition 10.04. I shut down the remote PC immediately to stop more files being written to the drive. I took out the drive and tried using Recuva on a Windows machine to recover the deleted files. It did not find any files on the first scan, I'm now running a deep scan. The files were binary and zipped (.gz). Does WinSCP delete files in such a way that it can not be recovered? Any help would be appreciated.

I love going to the Arnold Classic, I get so excited for it every year. I don't compete at the AC, I just love to go and have a chance to reconnect with so many members of my "fitness family". If you are a serious competitor/athlete, you know how different your lifestyle has to be to stay on top of your game. A lot of people don't quite understand the level of discipline and dedication it takes. There are lot of things you have to say "no" to, there are a lot of sacrifices that have to be made, and often your family and friends look at you and think that your nuts. That's why I love going to the Arnold, just being surrounded by people who "get it", is so much fun!
The Arnold actually falls on my sweetie pie, Micah LaCerte's birthday, so his big #31, was spent waking up at 3 a.m. so we could get to the airport and catch our flight to arrive in a not so sunny Columbus, OH. This year we were thrilled to have our newest trainer at Hitch Fit Gym, James Hanton, join us for the weekend. James has been a wonderful addition to our team here in Kansas City, we feel so blessed to have found a trainer of his caliber and capability to add to Hitch Fit! We also took along one of Micah's "Transformation's in Progress", Josh. It was fun to see the Classic through the eyes of someone who has never even attended a competition before, he was blown away by the entire event, athletes, activities, competitions, you name it, he had a blast and it has motivated him even more to achieve his fitness goals.
I never get too far away from being in what I consider "photo shoot" shape, and I personally expect myself to be in good condition whenever attending a fitness event. I'm usually no more than 3-5 pounds from where I would ideally like to be, so for the last couple of weeks heading into the AC I tightened up my diet a bit. For me that just means cutting out any "extras" that I might add to my meals, I still eat 6 times per day, and still eat a complex carb with the majority of my earlier meals. I cut out fruit and dairy for a couple of weeks, and start adding in some early morning intense cardio workouts for about 25-30 minutes. This does the trick for my body.
Now that the AC is over, it's back to normal life for a while. We had a wonderful photo shoot this past Sunday with David Bickley, www.davidbickley.com an amazing photographer who is here in Kansas City. For the next couple of months Micah and I are working on several big projects to help grow our gym here in KC, and also expand our online training programs. It should be an exciting couple of months!
Well that's it for me for now, just settling back into the normal routine of training clients and living the fit life!

I find it highly disappointing that the SVG WG places a higher priority getting compatibility with JSR-226 than an earlier SVG specification. I'm inclined to say that the incompatibility problems are the JCP's problem, not the working groups'. The reasons for objecting to the changes are still valid, I think.Received on Wednesday, 10 May 2006 16:12:59 UTC

Opel Adam EV Cancelled, High Costs Cited As Factor
Around the world, automakers that were once bullish on electric vehicles, investing billions into new battery and motor technology. But a harsh reality of low EV sales mixed with an uncertain economic outlook, especially in Europe, has settled over the industry. So it isn't the least bit surprising to hear that the Opel Adam EV has been cancelled…mostly due due to high costs.
The Opel Adam was introduced just a couple of months ago at the Paris Auto Show, and it is still slated to go into production using one of three different petrol engines. The Opel Adam is being positioned as a MINI Cooper and Fiat 500 fighter, and will be highly customizable as to target the ever-popular youth market.
An EV version was also in the works, and would have shared an electric drivetrain with the upcoming Chevy Spark EV, which will hit limited U.S. dealerships sometime in 2013. While there are still questions about the Spark EV, that project seems to be going forward. The Opel Adam EV, however, has been cancelled due to high costs.
Dieter Metz, chief engineer for the Adam, called it a "business decision" in an interview with Automotive News Europe. He went on to say "We could not charge the customer the price needed to make it work on the cost side." In other words, nobody was going to pay what they would have had to charge. It is also no secret that Opel is hermoragging money, and anymore investment in a low-volume EV just isn't worth it.
It's just the latest in a round of disappointing news for EV advocates. Toyota recently yanked the plug on mass deployment of the Scion iQ EV, limiting the rollout to a fleet of around 90. Nissan's COO came out and said they were "disappointed and frustrated" by the lack of EV sales. There was also a recent study that indicates that interest in EVs is waning, with cost and range as the most commonly cited factors.
Are we witnessing the slow death of the mass market EV already? What happened to all those low-cost batteries we were promised? Things aren't looking good for the pure electric cars…

'Dirty Don' in the deep north
Greg Sheard moved to Townsville in 1970 and soon tracked down some locals who were interested in climbing. One was named 'Dirty Don'—that should have raised his suspicions—and the other was Craig. For a reason best known to himself, Sheard decided to abseil down the vertical face of Townsville's Castle Hill, using two ropes tied together. He went down first, managed to get past the knot halfway and scrambled back to the top of the mountain. By the time he arrived, Dirty Don was on his way down—but he was taking a long time. Too long. Sheard continues the story:
I hooked up another rope and went over the edge and Dirty Don was hanging there—he'd actually unclipped himself and had wrapped his arm around the rope and that's all that was holding him. It was a bloody long way to the deck from there—70 odd metres off the deck just hanging by his arm wrapped around the rope! I went back and started trying to organise some gear to get down to help him. A crowd had turned up by that stage and one character said, 'Get the rescue equipment, get the rescue team!' Craig turned around and said, 'We are the &*#@*& rescue team!' And he was right, we were! We were the Townsville rock and rescue team! That's all there was and one third of the team was stuck halfway up Castle Hill about to die because he'd stuffed things up. I got down to him and hooked him up—he'd totally freaked out—and got him to the bottom. By this stage it was well and truly after dark. But Dirty Don never went climbing again.Picture: Greg Sheard in action on the east face of Maroon in 1970 shortly before moving to North Queensland. Michael Meadows collection.

Sociocultural forces promoting a thin ideal body for women have shaped our understanding of problematic eating attitudes and behaviours throughout the 20th century, giving rise to the modern, thinness-oriented definition of disordered eating. More recent cultural expectations of a lean and muscular body, particularly for males, have been named as likely contributors to the growing prevalence of muscularity-focused body image disturbance amongst boys and men. However, disordered eating in the pursuit of muscularity appears in stark contrast to that which is motivated by the drive for thinness, suggesting that a new disordered eating framework specific to muscularity is needed. We define muscularity-oriented disordered eating and propose a framework constituting five major components, including body image concerns, eating, nutritional supplements, appearance and performance enhancing drugs, and exercise. We critically analyse the nature, prevalence and effects of these facets of muscularity-oriented disordered eating, and suggest improvements and directions for future research. Intentions of this framework are to inform clinicians engaged in the treatment of muscularity-related body image and eating disturbance, and to guide future empirical research and interventions in this field.
This abstract was presented in the Body Image stream of the 2013 ANZAED Conference.

It is long been thought by Volkswagen lovers that VW's turbocharged four is superior to the V-6. After all, it is lighter, and with added boost can generate more energy. That perception is embodied in the 2010 golf R, a car destined to go on sale in Germany earlier than the tip of the yr, though not presently slated for the U.S. The Aero version is still a totally trendy automotive, very highly effective, with luxury in all places you look inside and out. The perfect factor you are able to do to thank me is to share my Hub pages with everybody you already know! When you get this right, your customers will send you new customers by word of mouth promoting at no cost and with great enthusiasm. I know this works, I built my first workshop utilizing this technique alone. I found that one comfortable buyer produced another 6. That may be a hell of a whole lot of prospects for free!
By 1929 the Massive Three equipped three-fourths of the American market for motor vehicles; many of the the rest was divided among the five largest independents—Hudson, Nash, Packard, Studebaker, and Willys-Overland. In less than 10 years the variety of automobile producers within the United States dropped from 108 to 44. Among the minor carmakers had technological or personal interests, together with Nordyke and Marmon , makers of Marmon luxury cars, and E.L. Cord , who marketed entrance-wheel-drive automobiles between 1929 and 1937. The depression years of the Thirties eliminated all however the largest independent manufacturers and increased still further the domination of the Massive Three. Motorcar production declined from a peak of more than 5 million in 1929 to a low of just over a million in 1932. It rose again slowly but had not returned to the 1929 determine when World War II broke out.
Could have used this info about a month in the past…now, I'm armed for the next spherical of brake repairs. 🙂 Thanks Earnest! Additional, due to the big subsidy on petrol prices, the cost of running a automotive on the highway in Malaysia is relatively affordable. As Desk three exhibits the worth of 1 liter of RON95 is RM1.ninety in Malaysia, compared to RM3.05 in India and RM5.32 in UK.
Automotive sensors, conference considered dioxide sensors, set up new digital fuel injection and emission command probable. They guide confirm if the air fuel ratio of a burning engine is loaded or lean. As oxygen sensors are situated in the exhaust means, they don't particularly calculate the air or the gas incoming the engine. It may be put to make use of to not directly confirm the air-to-fuel proportion when information from o2 sensors is joined with specifics from other sources. Closed-loop feedback-managed gas injection contrasts the fuel injector yield in accordance to actual-time sensor information as an alternative than functioning with a predetermined gasoline plot. Additionally to enabling digital gas injection to operate capably, this emissions handle procedure might lower the portions of each equally unburnt fuel and oxides of nitrogen from incoming the ambiance.
Tuition-free European nations like Germany and Norway supply international students the chance to earn a grasp's degree in a arithmetic self-discipline, in English, regardless of their country of origin, without spending a dime. International students can examine for free and in addition get the opportunity to travel round Europe, learn a new language, and make some lifelong buddies. It's wonderful that this free education is extended even to non-EU college students.

Psalm 90: 3-4, 5-6, 12-13, 14, 17
"Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart."
The Psalm reminds us that man's
days are numbered, and that
we should use our time wisely,
making our days and our life
count for something.
And how do we do that?
We do it by being open to the
wisdom of God. Just as Solomon
preferred the gift of wisdom over
material wealth, and concluded
that so much of what we do in the
world is vanity, we too see the
advantage of using our time wisely
by doing the Lord's will.
Although we may never receive
the wisdom of Solomon, we can hope
for some ability to be detached from
worldly things, which can separate
us from God.
How do we do this? Where does
the ability come from, to cut through
all our present day concerns?
It is obtained by listening to St. Paul,
who tells us to put to death the parts
of us that are earthly, take off the old
self and put on the new self (2nd reading).
And Jesus tells us in the Gospel that
we need to store up treasure in heaven
and be rich in what matters to God.
If we can get that right, we may receive
the favor of the Lord and be counted
among his sheep. As the Psalm says,
"May the favor of the Lord our God
be ours."
How much better will our lives be
if we may sing for joy, as the psalmist
says, and be filled at daybreak
with the love of the Lord.
And having received God's favor,
we will want to be His servants
and do His work. We will become
laborers in the field where the
harvest is plentiful. And as the
Psalm says, "The work of our hands
will prosper."
Discussion Questions for Reflection
1. Our Psalm Response this Sunday is, "If today
you hear His voice, harden not your hearts." How
would you apply these words to the Psalm's message
about using our time wisely?
2. The Psalm ends with a petition that the Lord
will "prosper the work of our hands!" How do we
be sure that our work will gain the favor of the Lord?

I'm in B10 hanging back to let my compatriot, flown by Paul,
take on the pair of Hun two-seaters flown by Stephen
A single long range shots sets my crate on fire and
Paul has flown off (not his fault, his rudder jammed).
Luckily the Hum suffer some jammed guns.
I'm coming round but Paul has flown off again.
Narrow miss.
Finally I get to see some results from the machine gun bursts I've been sending the enemy's way.
At least we've broken up the Hun formation, but being two-seaters
they can bring fire to bear from almost any angle.
At least I've now been able to put my fire out
(and very luckily the damage was insignificant)
Revenge. That was Paul's work, but I'm happy to see it.
I've taken a bit of damage and I'm thinking of heading for home
But I do an Immelmann turn and head back into the action.
The dog fight continues
Paul and I narrowly miss colliding.
Those flames seem to be burning brighter?
The flaming German plane is sinking lower...
And is down
But I've had enough
As I leave I see in the rear view mirror (well I would of if I had one)
Paul collide with the remaining Jerry plane.
They survive, but only just and follow my lead to return to base.
Wings of Glory, always a fun game.

We've visited Singapore a number of times and always enjoy the street food. It is plentiful, inexpensive and delicious. Our lunch at Raffles was plentiful, expensive and delicious. We booked ahead (a good idea; we know people who've tried to get in at short notice and missed out), read up on the dress code (posh frock for her, long pants and collared shirt for him) and had a lovely lunch.
View of the entrance to the restaurant
Our fellow diners (the buffet tables are in the distance)
My photos of the food didn't do it justice! Sorry
Yet another picturesque nook at Raffles
Some online reviews of the Tiffin Room say the food isn't spicy enough. It was pretty mild. But if you want hot food, go to Little India, not Raffles! I made up for the mildness by loading my plate with chilli pickles.
The wonderfully elegant buffet tables offered soup, curries (vegetarian and non-vegetarian), condiments, salads, and some fabulous desserts. Raffles is a weird place to dine as there's a constant stream of tourists taking photos of the building and gardens.
Nevertheless, a fun splurge!

With more than two billion social media users around the world, it's no wonder big companies invest heavy resources in social marketing. In 2015, companies spent an estimated $8.3 billion in social media advertising. This figure is poised to grow even bigger as companies allocate larger portions of their advertising budgets to the Facebooks and Twitters of the world.
While it's easy for corporate heavyweights like Coca-Cola to spend millions of dollars advertising on every social media platform, your company probably doesn't have that luxury. That's why it's important to be selective about the platforms in which you do invest your time and money.
The first step is to determine which platforms are right for you. Take Instagram for instance. Powered by photography, users expect the brands they follow to dazzle them with rich imagery and video. This makes it attractive for businesses in fashion or culinary arts, but not so much for those in, say, plumbing or electrical.
Here are some pros and cons of each of the most popular social media platforms:
Facebook: With 1.59 billion monthly active users, Facebook is the world's biggest social network. Users can share a wide range of content, including photos, blogs, links and now live video. In terms of advertising, Facebook's bids and overall costs both tend to be lower than the competition. However, conversion rates hover around just 1 percent, and it's very difficult to reach consumers organically.
Twitter: With 320 million active users, Twitter is an immensely popular micro-blogging platform. Its search function allows you to monitor conversations, which can be a windfall for lead generation. Twitter is also great for announcing things like flash sales. The downside? While promoted Tweets help ensure your posts are viewed, click-through rates are quite low. It's also difficult to convey some messages in 140 characters (or fewer if your post includes media).
Pinterest: Pinterest is a content sharing service that allows members to "pin" images, videos and other objects to their boards. For brands, it's an excellent outlet for brand-building and showcasing different products. The downside is that doing Pinterest right requires a significant amount of maintenance and creative energy. Additionally, the platform has only 100 million active users of which roughly 80 percent are female — not ideal for businesses that primarily target males.
Instagram: According to research, Instagram's 400 million active users are far more likely to engage with brand posts than they are on Facebook (58 times higher engagement) and Twitter (120 times higher). That's great. The problem is that Instagram's user base, consisting primarily of younger generations, doesn't have much buying power. Also, much like Facebook, the platform is quickly becoming saturated, making organic reach much more difficult to achieve.
Google+: With 300 million active users, Google+ is small when stacked against its competitors, but still carries significant weight. For one, having a Google+ page boosts the relevancy of your website on Google's search engine. That alone is worth the effort of building an account. The downside is that the platform isn't very user friendly and has strict terms and conditions that ban companies from running contests and promotions.
These are just a few of the many social media platforms that deserve your business' consideration. For insights on any of these platforms or others, contact the experts at Rebuild.

It happened to us. Missing tooltips on NoteFrog! Actually, tooltips were missing on all "programs" but present on "Browsers", (yes, Browsers are programs too, but I'm making that exclusion for sake of identity).
So I began closing programs. No effect. Closed Firefox. No effect. Closed an instance of ie containing 6 tabs. Tootips returned for all programs, not just NoteFrog. I still had a tabbed instance of ie open. Re-opened the just closed instance of ie, containing the same tabs just closed. Still have tooltips on all programs.
This may take some research.
Update: Fixed for Version 2

News Article of the Week: 3D Printer Sculpture Fun
Sometime ago, I can't remember exactly when, my trusty companion began to get all excited about 3D printers. He would talk about them and get all happy thinking about all the things he could print once the massive cost finally came down (so we wouldn't have to sell our firstborn to afford one.) I, on the other hand, didn't see what the big deal was. One reason I didn't care for the idea was, not because I am a luddite, but because I imagined them to be something like those awful 3D jigsaws which I could never finish or just another pricey gimmick.Also printers seem to have enough trouble printing 2D and I had uncomfortable images of me lying on the ground covered in 3D toner after a tussle, like something out of a horror movie.
But I will admit that maybe I was too hasty in judging the 3D printer as this week a project has been announced and it looks fantastic! Gizmodo reported that the New York Metropolitan Museum has agreed for plans to be made of some of their famous sculptures which will allow users of the Makerbot printer to print scale versions of the sculptures. This is a fantastic idea as it gives art fans a new, fun way of obtaining copies of sculptures that they love and want to have at home. But before you start thinking that all your Christmas present ideas have come at once bear in mind that these printers are still really pricey. But the price of new technology does come down so maybe in a year or two we can turn our homes into mini-sculpture galleries.
So if you have a 3D printer or,like me, are excited about these developments.Which sculptures would you like to print? Or have you done so already?
If you would like to take a look at the sculptures available you can see them here on Thingiverse.

LONDON (Reuters) - A dress worn by Prince William's fiancee Kate Middleton at a university fashion show in 2002 which reportedly sparked the royal's interest in his bride-to-be fetched 65,000 pounds ($105,000) on Thursday.
Including commission, the see-through mesh slip dress designed by Charlotte Todd sold for 78,000 pounds ($126,000). It had been expected to sell for 8,000-10,000 pounds.
Todd, who was in the saleroom at Kerry Taylor Auctions in London, said she planned to put the proceeds of the sale toward buying a house with her husband.
"I am totally speechless, and feel very emotional," she said. "I really didn't think it would make that amount. I am planning to put some of the money toward a deposit for a house, but perhaps I may use some to change my career."
Earlier, Todd had said: "If it is true that my design helped change the Prince's interest in Kate from platonic to romantic as has been reported, then I am pleased to have played a part — however minor."
The dress went to a collector in Jersey, Channel Islands.
Middleton and William, who met at St. Andrews University in Scotland in 2001, are to marry in London's Westminster Abbey on April 29.
Among the other items sold on Thursday were two dresses worn by William's late mother Princess Diana — a Zandra Rhodes pink chiffon dinner gown which sold for 30,000 pounds and a white formal lace evening gown which fetched 36,000 pounds.
A Louis Vuitton vanity case once belonging to U.S. socialite Wallis Simpson, the late wife of British King Edward VIII, went under the hammer for 48,000 pounds, several times its pre-sale estimate of 6-10,000 pounds.

A friend posted a riddle presented in his managment class. "If the day before the day before yesterday is Tuesday, what is the day after the day after tomorrow?"
I came up with Monday, since 'today' in the riddle seems to me to be Friday. He had the same answer. The instructor said he was wrong, and the answer to the riddle was Friday. My linguist friends and I started tearing this apart trying to sort out what the right answer is and how to arrive at it. Some argued that the conditional 'if' phrase is trumped by the present tense verb 'is,' kind of like a grammar version of PEMDAS, the rule that guides which part of a math equation one must complete first. Had the question been stated "was Tuesday" instead of "is," then Monday would have been correct.
(Or so they claim. I have my doubts. Not to mention, searching for versions of that riddle on Google pointed toward a similar-but-clearly-worded variant, one which doesn't play a trick based on verb tenses but simply asks the reader to figure out the puzzle. I suspect the lesson writers or instructor copied the riddle wrong from the start. But I'm arrogant about these things.)
My frustration with the explanation boils down to playing a trick of grammar rules and definitions. Rather than speak clearly, the riddle as explained by my linguist friends ignores common usage of language and depends on an oft-ignored rule that supposedly shifts the meaning completely from what is implied. It's someone claiming a simple answer depends on what the definition of 'is' is–technically accurate and a proper debate tactic, but readily dismissed as shady or truth-dodging by the average person.
I thought of this little exchange when my Facebook exploded with a mixture of Cecil the Lion and all the videos about Planned Parenthood. I very nearly posted a tweet something to the effect of
Maybe if there was a market for lion parts, PP supporters could get behind hunting. #profitsmatter
Then I realized that would do no good. It alienates rather than persuades. It mocks issues people care about deeply. And I think we have plenty of that already.
I got the video link for a feminist declaring "Planned Parenthood Isn't Selling Baby Parts, You F@#$ing Idiots" and a day later, the right-wing response "Planned Parenthood IS Selling Baby Parts, You Freaking Feminist Hosebeast." (They also sanctimoniously called out the feminist for dropping f-bombs left and right, while they stooped to a 'clean' version of name-calling that is no better in my opinion.)
Meanwhile plenty of people point out the disparity between response to the PP videos and the slaying of Cecil the Lion. Plenty of tweets and posts encouraging the murder of that dentist, whether by lion mauling or by drilling him a new orifice. Whichever side of the aisle your circle of friends leans toward, no doubt you're seeing a ton of outrage that invariably paints dissenters as morons, idiots, worthless human beings devoid of morality. "How can anyone support this?!" both sides scream, while talking about two different subjects.
We're talking past each other. Everyone's speaking but no one is listening.
When the right yells about baby parts, the left sighs at best or swears at them, because the legal definition in our country is "fetal tissue" or "medical waste" produced by a legal and optional medical procedure. There may be aspects that are legally questionable, like whether "sales" are taking place or procedures are being altered from what the patients consented to in order to produce better remains. But "by definition" they're not selling baby parts, duh, because you have to remember what the definition of "fetus" is.
And the right shouts, "How can you care about a stupid lion more than you care about the horrors depicted in those leaked videos? Look at the evidence; listen to the words of the doctors and the staff." Many will admit if pressed that they'd like to see the hunter who killed Cecil prosecuted for where he broke the law, if indeed that can be proven. But to most, it's just a lion, and doesn't compare with the human remains shown in the PP videos. Going from a religious or moral definition of all human life as being precious, the anti-abortion / pro-life crowd can't help but be furious about the sale of baby parts — because you have to remember what the definition of "life" is.
We're all heavily invested emotionally into so many various societal and cultural issues that it can be hard to hit the brakes and take a look around. Maybe it's a debate about white privilege and the #blacklivesmatter trend. Maybe it's the Confederate flag, or gun control. Maybe it's a fight for rights we feel we've been denied, or a challenging sense that the comfortable culture we once knew is slipping and changing into something far different.
The river of outrage in this country seems neverending. It's easy to forget that there are people just like us on both banks.
Locking in on my one point of view and refusing to consider the opposition only creates tension, division, and strife. Yes, we might never agree… but at least I can do you the courtesy of listening to find out exactly what I'm disagreeing with, and vice versa. (For example, here is a challenging view on Planned Parenthood from a Christian man faced with an impossible choice.)
I'm grateful for my friends on all sides of these discussions who are willing to have conversations and dig down to the roots of where our points of view diverge. I spent a good chunk of yesterday morning discussing the value of life and the question "When is it justifiable to kill another human being?" I don't think either of us walked away with a different point of view, but we maintained the mutual respect we've developed over the years.
For me, that respect is what matters. Rather than debate words and call each other names, we've made sure to define our friendship first. We've defined our individual morality to include striving to show respect for others, and we make sure our conversations on these subjects are guided by that definition.
A mind that won't listen can't be changed. And when my first thought is that someone else is guilty of this, usually I figure out that it's me.
Let's not categorize ourselves with "us" and "them" on this or any other issue. We are not engaged in a civil war despite all the cultural issues and debates. We have to figure out how to be "we the people" because that's what this nation is founded upon and defined by.

Is There a Bid for Services in Your Future?by Rita Robison, Assoc. Ed.;
Serial Information: Civil Engineering—ASCE, 1983, Vol. 53, Issue 9, Pg. 40-44
Document Type: Feature article
Selection of architect/engineer firms based on price in addition to qualifications is apparently here to stay. Those in favor of competitive negotiation say that it prevents corruption, brings down the cost to the client and spreads the work among many firms. Others say it contributed to mediocre work and that price proposals are expensive for the engineer to prepare and for the client to administer. Experience of persons on both sides is quoted.
