The Big dig

2011-06-17T13:29:00.000+05:30

It was a massive mega-project in the city of Boston whose purpose was to relieve traffic congestion along I-93. The plan was to build an enormous 3.5 mile tunnel underneath the city of Boston to help relieve some of this traffic which had gotten worse year after year. The project broke ground in 1991, and it became the most expensive highway project ever in the United States. As of 2006, the Big Dig project cost $14.6 billion. Workers encountered many obstacles while digging the enormous tunnel including glacial debris, buried homes, and even sunken ships. The tunnel had many problems with leaks as it neared completion, but they were eventually fixed. There is one death that is solely contributed to the Big Dig project, which occurred when a 3 tonne piece of concrete ceiling collapsed onto a car, killing the passenger of the car and injuring the driver. Work on the Big Dig project concluded on December 31, 2007. It was one of the biggest projects of its kind in the world.

A Letter to God

2011-06-13T20:29:00.000+05:30

Dear Lord,

So for today, God; I've done all right. I haven't gossiped,

 haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty,
 selfish, or even indulgent.
 
 I'm very thankful for that - But in a very short time, God, I'm
 going to get out of bed, and from that moment on I'm going to
 need a lot of help!
 
 Amen.

The Blind Man

2011-06-09T10:06:00.001+05:30



Two Nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, and the last instruction from Mother Superior is that they must not get even one drop of paint on their habits.
After conferring about this for a while, the two nuns decide to look the door of the room, strip off their habits, and paint the room in the nude.
In the middle of the project, there comes a knock on the door. 
" Who is there, " calls out one of the Nuns. "
" The blind man, " replies a voice from the other side of the door.
The two Nuns look at each other and shrug, deciding that no harm can come from letting a blind man into the room. They open the door.
" Nice boobs, sisters" remarks the man with a wry smile, "now, where do you want these blinds ? "

Grand Coulee dam

2011-06-08T20:15:00.002+05:30

The largest concrete structure and power producing facility in the United States is the Grand Coulee Dam in the State of Washington. The dam actually consists of 11,975,521 cubic yards of concrete, and 4 power plants. The Grand Coulee Dam provides 6809 MW of electricity to 11 states, and also provides irrigation for over 500,000 acres of farmland. Work began in 1933, during the Great Depression, with the first water spill over the Grand Coulee Dam occurring on the 1st June, 1942. This enormous structure spans 5,223ft and towers 550ft above the bedrock. This dam is so big, that all of the pyramids of Giza would fit inside the base of this behemoth!

Taipei 101

2011-06-08T20:12:00.000+05:30

The Emporis Skyscraper Award winner in 2004, the Taipei 101 tower is currently the tallest skyscraper in the world (until the Burj Dubai is completed) at over 1,670ft to the antenna. Newsweek Magazine has even hailed Taipei 101 as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World while the Discovery Channel calls it one of the Seven Wonders of Engineering. Taipei 101 is designed to withstand typhoon winds and small earthquakes. 36 columns support the immense weight of the tower, including 8 larger columns filled with 10,000 psi concrete that makes this tower one of the most stable skyscrapers ever constructed. In order to minimise the swaying-effect in highest points of the building, caused by wind, engineers created a 662 metric tonne steel pendulum that hangs from the 92nd floor. This pendulum sways to offset the effects of the wind, and thus, keeps the tower stable. Each of the $2 million elevators can reach speeds of almost 38 mph, the current world record. The total cost of this 5 year construction project, completed in 2004, was about $1.758 billion.

Logitech K750 solar keyboard $80

2011-03-17T06:59:00.000+05:30

PRESS RELEASE

If You've Got Light, You've Got Power: Logitech Introduces Solar-Powered Keyboard

Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 Powered By Light - Even Indoors

FREMONT, Calif. - Nov. 1, 2010 - Today, Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) introduced the Logitech® Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 - the company's first light-powered keyboard. The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard powers itself whenever there's light, even indoors, making battery hassles a thing of the past.

"The keyboard is still the best input device for typing emails and IMs, updating your Facebook™ page or posting responses to your favorite blogs - and the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 is the next big innovation in keyboard technology," said Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech's keyboards and desktops. "The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard is powered by light but can work in total darkness for up to three months. Plus, with its PVC-free construction and fully recyclable packaging, it's designed to minimize its footprint."

Powered by Light - Even Indoors

To give you hassle-free convenience, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard powers itself through its integrated solar panel - no power bricks or charging cables needed.

The included solar power app (available for download at logitech.com/k750/solarapp) features a lux meter to help you get the necessary light, makes it easy to get at-a-glance information about battery levels, and even alerts you when you need more power.

Logitech's first solar keyboard can be powered by indoor light and stays charged for at least three months in total darkness. Plus an integrated power-indicator light eliminates surprises.

Only 1/3-Inch Thick

But Logitech did much more than bring solar power to the keyboard.
At only 1/3-inch thick, the sleek Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard looks good. With its rounded edges and thin profile, this stylish, streamlined keyboard is a joy to hold and behold.

Feel-Good Typing

The low-profile keyboard features Logitech Incurve keys™. Using a concave design, Incurve keys support the shape of your fingertips, while helping guide your fingers to the right keys. In addition, the soft, rounded edges make it easy for your fingers to glide from key to key.

Powerful, Reliable Wireless Connection with Logitech Unifying Technology

The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 offers Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, keeping you connected with virtually no delays or dropouts, so you get all the benefits of a cord, with the convenience of wireless. Logitech Advanced 2.4 wireless also includes 128-bit AES encryption with the keyboard - one of the highest levels of security available.

Plus, the tiny Logitech® Unifying receiver is small enough to stay in your laptop, so there's no need to unplug it when you move around. And you can easily add up to six Logitech Unifying and Unifying-ready mice and keyboards - without the hassle of multiple USB receivers.
Pricing and Availability

The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in November 2010 for a suggested retail price of $79.99 (U.S.). To learn more about the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 please visit www.logitech.com or our blog for more information.......

Frontiers in Energy generation

2011-03-15T20:36:00.000+05:30

As nonrenewable fuel supplies dwindle and pollution becomes a greater challenge, the search is on for viable, renewable sources of energy. Some of the more promising areas of research and development include the use of hydrogen, solar and wind power, and even nuclear energy. Chemical engineers have a unique grounding in chemistry, physics, and math. By virtue of this diverse training they are particularly well suited to the task of discovering and exploiting the many opportunities available in this array of alternative energy sources.

HYDROGEN FUEL : Today use of hydrogen as a fuel has inherent limitations. It is costly to produce and difficult to store and distribute to households and gas stations. Chemical engineers are in the forefront of the race to develop viable processes to produce safe, economical sources of hydrogen and to deliver it where needed. Learn more....

SOLAR and WIND ENERGY : The desire to harness the sun's energy is age old. However, it was not until 1939 that the first fully functioning solar-powered house was built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Like solar energy, wind power is also environmentally friendly. In 2006 the total installed U.S. wind-based energy capacity could meet the annual electricity needs of 2.3 million homes.Learn more........

NUCLEAR ENERGY : Nuclear power plants create less air pollution than conventional power plants. But they do produce radioactive products that require long-term confinement storage. Advances spearheaded by chemical engineers have helped improve safety, increase power output, and maximize operating life. Learn more.....
