Who would not want to keep our pets beside us for the longest time? Most of us (except those who have allergies or asthma to pet furs, feathers, etc.), would want a pet. In fact, many of us already have one to keep. Some would even have more.We keep pets so dearly to an extent that we would even consider them as part of the family. Losing them (by death due to either old age or sickness) is truly disappointing, which is probably why bright minds...more
Its seems that cheap tooling and rubber mouldings would have nothing in common to the uninitiated. In this case tooling refers to a methodology where by moulds are created for producing parts.Parts could include practically any item that is made of rubber, plastic, silicon or even metal. Always beware of companies that charge a non-recurring tooling charge especially when they do not state that the ownership of the tool is retained by the...more
DONT be surprised to see cars levitating into space to avoid traffic congestion. After all, there is already a vehicle that is originally designed as a car but may turn into an aircraft --- and legally at that.Massachusetts-based Carl Dietrich actually came up with his Little Transformer, a car that can turn into a light aircraft. Known as Terrafugia Transition, the two-seater car, which is considered as light aircraft, seemed to look like just an ordinary car except for the automatic fold-up wings.Terrafugia Transition is a legally accepted road car. However, the manufacturers, it was said, are working on other legal parameters that would make it a dual purpose vehicle. Among the glitches that Terrafugia Transition is facing are issues concerning insurance of the vehicle.Initially, Terrafugia (as a light aircraft) has a 27.5 feet wingspan and can actually fly 500 miles on a speed of 115 miles per hour on one full tank of petroleum. On the ground, Terafugia (as a car), runs on an automatic transmission. It is equivalent the size of an ordinary sedan that fits quite well inside a garage --- making it cost friendly as one who would own it would be spared from paying the hangar fees....more

Manufacturers of electric cars are in a rush to develop something that would compel the market into seriously considering the battery-ran automobile in lieu of the gasoline-fed ones. In fact, Tesla (a publicly-listed car manufacturer), has started producing a family car that would eventually replace sedans designed to run 300 miles without having...more
MANILA --- A country-based manufacturing entity could just have the solution to the flooding problem surrounding Asias second largest freshwater basin. They are eyeing the extraction of mud silt (burak) from Asias second largest freshwater basin for processing into fertilizer, which in turn would be commercially sold.In an agreement signed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), the National Commission on Urban Pest Control NCUPC), and the Mapecon Green Charcoal Philippines Inc. (MGCPI), mud silt would be extracted from parts of the Laguna de Bay and processed to become fertilizers.Blaming mud siltMud silt, locally known as burak, has earned the blame as to why most of the localities surrounding Laguna de Bay has remained under water. It is also named as culprit as to why the 949 square kilometer freshwater basin has suffered from siltation, which has caused lake water to swell into the surrounding dry land around the basin during the onslaught of tropical storm Ondoy. Information gathered from the web said that the Laguna de Bays depth shrunk to just an average of 2.5 meters from 12-meters because of heavy...more
