Robot | BigDog | most advanced Robot



BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.

BigDog is being developed by Boston Dynamics with the goal of creating robots that have rough-terrain mobility that can take them anywhere on Earth that people and animals can go. The program is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).

Be aware if reusing plastic bottles | Do not re-use mineral water bottles

Do not re-use mineral water bottles !

Many are unaware of poisoning caused by reusing plastic bottles.

Some of you may be in the habit of re-using your disposable mineral water bottles(nestle, bisleri, kinley, etc...), keeping them in your car or at work. Not a good idea.


In a nut shell the plastic (called Polyethylene terephthalate ) or PET use in those bottles contains a potentially carcinogenic element (something called DEHA). The bottles are safe for one time use only; if you must keep them longer, it should be or no more than a few days, week max and keep them away from heet as well. Repeating washing and rinsing can cause the plastic to break down and the carcinogens (cancer causing chemical agents) can leak into the water that you are drinking. Better to invest in water bottles that are really meant for multiple uses.

This is not we should be scrimping on. Those of you with family do please advice them, especially children.



How to avoid:

Check on the bottom of the bottle there is a triangle sign and there will be a number on it.
If the number is higher than or equal to 5 --> then this bottle is safe to use.

Whatever number under 5, will release the chemical. For most bottle water, the number is 1.

Careful when eating apples | Apple coated with wax| Fruits coated with wax


Careful when eating apples Please don't eat the skin of the apple because it's coated with wax. Check before you eat many of the fruits. WAX is being used for preservation purposes and cold storage. You might be surprised especially apples from USA and other parts are more than one year old, though it would look fresh. Because wax is coated, preventing bacteria to enter. So it does not get dry. Please Eat Apples after removing the wax as demonstrated below. Please follow this and let know others...... .....

Finally only Luck matters

Finally only Luck matters
With a pile of 300 resumes on his desk and a need to pick someone
quickly, my boss told me to make calls on the bottom 50 and toss the
rest.

"Throw away 250 resumes?" I asked, shocked.

"What if the best candidates are in there?"

"You have a point," he said. "But then again, I don't need people
with bad luck here."

Fraud at petrol pumps


Did you know what exactly you paid for petrol or are you aware from fraud at petrol pumps ?

Many of us not aware that the petrol kisok pump has a return pipe-line(in pink). When the petrol tank(in the car) reaches full level, there is a mechanism to trigger off the pump latch and at the same time a return-valve is opened(at the top of the pump station) to allow excess petrol to flow back into the sump. But the return petrol has already pass through the meter, meaning you are donating the petrol back to SHELL/CALTEX/MOBIL/PETRONAS
