Bindaas Deal: Facts, Fiction & Features Deep Focus Zoom in, zoom out! Valentine’s Day is approaching and it’ll mark our first anniversary. It’s been a year since I proposed to Shanaya and she said ‘yes’! She didn’t stand a chance of refusing anyway! After all, being neighbours for the last 15 years, I did know quite a lot about her likes and dislikes. My inspiration being the blockbuster, Devdas, in which Shah Rukh, (and later his grandma) used binoculars to ‘bird-watch’ Aishwarya Rai. Funny, but true! Being a modest boy who maintained a ‘safe’ distance from women, the binoculars were my only hope to get closer to gorgeous Paro …I mean gorgeous Shanaya. I bought the Olympus...

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall Ouch! Isn't it a cute word? Except when you hear it from your little ones mouth. And as a mom of a toddler, the word that I get to hear the most is of course – ouch! And each time I hear it, my heart skips a beat. It reminds me of our family joke about my Uncle Sam. When his first born sneezed, he rushed to call an ambulance. And later when his sixth one swallowed a coin, he warned the little fella that it was coming out of his pocket money! Parenthood sure has its own funny ways! It teaches you a thing or two about life. So, as the mom of an oucher, I started asking Uncle Sam (who is an expert by now) for kid rearing tips. It was he, the...

The constant temperature mold of molding plastic parts with high precision contours is of significance in determining not only the productivity of the injection molding process but also the product quality. A solution to this challenge is the rapid thermal response molding process in which uniform temperature overall the mold part ensures the product quality by preventing differential shrinkage, internal stress and mold release problems (Li, 2001). Many Computer-Aided-Engineering (CAE) and optimization methods have been carried out to observe and fine-tune the influences of the thermal system (Park et al., 1998). The results of these research works are obtained by using thermal analysis modules of...

In the manufacture of consumer products, quality control is of utmost importance. In most instances where manual processes are involved, the individual who operates the machinery also performs this task. In injection molding, for instance, this means ensuring the correct orientation and quality of print on the manufactured parts and components. In manually operated equipment, this inspection process presents a challenging task because often, after prolonged hours of work, fatigued operators will insert labels inside the molding dies in improper orientation, resulting in rejected parts. In other cases, because of the heat in the molding process, if there is excess ink on the labeling equipment, the...

When I was purchasing my third helicopter, I remember hearing about vortex remote control helicopters, but having no idea what type they were.  For instance, what exactly is a vortex, anyway?  In essence, a vortex is an instrument that spins something to create a vortex of wind or liquid, which is basically in the shape of a tornado.  If you've ever done the hurricane experiment with a two liter bottle of soda, then you've made a vortex. With vortex remote control helicopters, the vortex is created in the air such that there is an invisible stream that basically is in the same shape as a tornado.  Anyway, I usually advise people to make a list of all their requirements in a remote control...

As almost any researcher can attest, missing data are a widespread problem. Data from surveys, experiments, and secondary sources are often missing some data. The impact of the missing data on the results of statistical analysis depends on the mechanism which caused the data to be missing and the way in which the data analyst deals with it. This is the first in a series of three articles that discusses issues surrounding missing data. This article outlines the mechanisms of missing data and some of their impacts. Subsequent articles will explain common but problematic solutions to missing data, new and better solutions, and the software available for implementing these solutions. Data are missing...

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a Soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone.

Boy: (with more perseverance): “Lady, I’ll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk,so on...

My grandfather told me a very interesting story that inspired me to get a dragonfly tt487 remote control helicopter, and I'd like to share that story with you. So, when my grandfather was a little boy, he lived in the rural parts of Pennsylvania.  His nearest neighbor was six miles away, so you can imagine that there weren't many kids his age to hang around with.  He told me that to kill time during the afternoons, he would go down to a little swamp in the back of his house and catch dragonflies all day.  One summer, his cousin was visiting from New Jersey. My grandfather thought that he would show him what he does each day and took him down to that old pond.  Well, my grandfather's cousin...

If you are just beginning to collect pottery I will let you in on a little secret that avid collectors know all too well: pottery is infinitely useful and extremely versatile. This means that most pottery can function in more than one capacity. You do need to make sure that there aren't certain restrictions on the pieces you purchase though most dealers will let you know the necessary care instructions and precautions that should be taken when you make the purchase. That being said most pottery is dishwasher and microwave safe (depending on the glazing method-Raku pottery is not), food safe (again this depends largely on the glazing method and any paints that may have been used), safe for use in the...

Through history we have seen many evolutions of dance.

Dating back to the beginning of recorded history dancing has been a vital part of society. Dance was involved in celebrations and preparations for war. Dance was part of rituals and ceremonies of worship. Dance was part of life and we live in a society today that seems to increasingly label dance as a form of entertainment more than a way of life...
