Don't gain the world & lose your soul, wisdom is better than slaves & gold ~~BOB MARLEY (LIGHT UP THE DARK)

Investigating the Dreaded 'Check Engine' Alert. Few automobile problems are more vexing than the “check engine” light. When the light comes on, it may mean you simply didn’t tighten your gas cap enough after filling up — or it could mean there’s major trouble brewing in your catalytic converter. George Ruhe for The New York Times CarMD.com, a seller of do-it-yourself tools to help you diagnose problems with your car, has compiled a list of the most common reasons the “check engine” light comes on, based on its database of engine repair information, which is compiled by automotive technicians.

Let's choose this Subaru was a prime example of how stuff works. And it's so hot today, it's 31 degree Celsius I could use some air conditioning well it all starts with the compressor that thing right there. Every car compressor has a clutch you know that thing, the outside of the clutch if the belt runs on free wheels all the time even though when the air conditioning is not on. The part that drives shaft inside the compressor this is dry plate, power set to this wire electromagnets turned on in this dry plate is sucked into the fly wheel on this crankshaft turning pulley and drives all the mechanism inside the compressor. It works just slightly fridge compressor or air conditioning compressor in your window unit.

Beautiful Lamborghini X Concept. 3D render concept car btw, NOT PHOTOS (for those who think this is an actual car).

Beautiful Lamborghini X Concept

On regards to the design, there are some really nice solutions. The edgy lines are cool, but not within the Lamborghini style, which, even though it always has a tendency for straight lines and sharp angles, doesn’t go all the way to sharp edges and paper thin panels. Borders are gentle and soft, precisely to take away a bit from the hard angles and straight lines. I’ve always felt Lamborghini has some really cool looking vehicles, but sometimes they almost look not entirely aerodynamic because of the hard angles.

In general, this concept looks kinda frail, almost like a paper car. Premium Electric Vehicles. Cars. Ariel Motor Company. Cars &Rides. Student Brain Power Turns Exercise Into Electricity.

Student Brain Power Turns Exercise Into Electricity

Turns out, it can. Some colleges and universities have started converting energy from exercise equipment into electricity. One of those schools is Drexel University in Philadelphia, where student power runs straight into their buildings' power grids. Dan Simmons, director of recreation at Drexel, says a typical 30-minute workout on a treadmill can generate enough energy to hold a light bulb for 2.5 hours. A company called ReRev has retrofitted cardio elliptical machines in a portion of the university's gym to generate electricity for that area. Inspiration. Department of Energy - Prices and Trends. Advanced Aerponic System. Aeroponics Aeroponics is a cutting-edge type of hydroponic technology that grows plants in a mist.

The aeroponic mist most efficiently provides roots with the nutrients, hydration and oxygen needed. AeroFarms™ has designed its aeroponic system to reduce water consumption through nutrient re-circulation. Compared to soil-based methods, aeroponics consumes significantly less water due to the aeroponic system's direct application of nutrients to the roots. Cloth Medium AeroFarms has developed a proprietary, reusable cloth medium. LED Lighting AeroFarms is pioneering the use of LED (light emitting diode) lighting for growing and vertical farming systems.

In my current iPhone application I need to force a UIView to reorientate when a certain event happens.

iPhone: Forcing a UIView to reorientate

The SDK doesn't really allow for this to happen. There's the well-known UIViewController method - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation that is called whenever the user rotates the iPhone. If you say YES to that orientation then the OS does the spade work of rotating the display and your views for you. However, you cannot manually ask to rotate the screen, so if you decide that your shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: peccadillo has changed, there's no way to tell the OS. Mobile UI Patterns.
