A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle for transporting goods. The word "truck" comes from the Greek "trochos", meaning "wheel". In America, the big wheels of wagons were called trucks. When the gasoline engine-driven trucks came into fashion, these were called "motortrucks" and the Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV)). The British term is, however, only used for the medium and heavy types (see below), i.e. a van, a pickup or a SUV would never be regarded as a "lorry". Other languages have loanwords based on these terms, such as the Malay lori and the Mexican Spanish troca (or pickup in northern Mexico). In Australia and New Zealand a small vehicle with an open back is called a ute (short for "utility vehicle...

One of the advantages of using machines to control processes for you is that you can harness tremendous amounts of power and energy which humans do not possess.By a flick of a switch, huge sliding flood gates can move to allow large quantities of water to flow out of a dam. With just a slight twist on a handle, supertankers weighing hundreds of thousands of tons are able to turn because of the corresponding rotation of huge rudders.Similarly, processes operating valves can be remotely operated to control flow, temperatures, pressures and so on.All these final control elements - flood gates, rudder, valves - must be operated by actuators. The function of the actuator is to move to...

When people think about the history of the Bahamas, they think of Christopher Columbus landing there and claiming it for Spain in the late 1400s. This is entirely true. But the Bahamas also had an ancient civilization that dates back as early as 300-400 AD, which may have come from Cuba and counted on the ocean for their food. This has been discovered by recent archaeological digs on the islands. Later an advanced civilization for their time settled on the Bahama Islands. They were the Lucayan Indians. In the 10th century the Lucayans left their home in the Lesser Antilles to escape their enemies. The Carib Indians were fierce warriors and were also cannibals but the Lucayans were peaceful...

The Industrial Revolution refers to the period in the mid 1700's in which significant advancements were made in the application of our technological knowledge and discoveries. It signaled a transition from an economy based on manual labor in agriculture to an economy dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. The first industrial revolution had a profound impact on modern society. Although there is some debate surrounding the origins of the movement, most agree that it began in Britain with the invention of the steam engine.The steam engine was powered by the burning of coal, which boiled water, and created pressurized steam. This pressurized steam was used to power industrial machinery...

Will the World ever get along with all these different viewpoints and all this animosity? Or is it simply no use and the world of Western and Middle Eastern can never be one.

Although I spend most of my time evangelizing about the benefits of entrepreneurship, I do want to throw a little reality out there for those who may look at it only through rose-colored glasses. Here are ten reasons why you may NOT want to start your own business:#10: You can't blame your lame boss for your problems. As much as you might have complained about your boss or "Management" in your corporate job, you might find yourself missing the person who takes the heat for big decisions. Whichever success or failure your company experiences is squarely on your shoulders.#9: YOU are all the departments in your business. You must take care of product development, sales, marketing, accounting...

So often we have unruly airline passengers who threaten to disrupt a flight or cause a scene. Some have been known to attack passengers, attempt to open a door in flight or even assault a stewardess. I propose we put pods on the bottom of aircraft, which hold exactly one to two unruly passengers. If things get out of control we stick them inside and let them go like a bomb?Once the pod gets to 10,000 feet a chute will deploy and a tracking device activated for the authorities to pick them up later. Once they landed they would be apprehended if convenient, their credit cards charged for the deployment and system, they would be bummed and then lose lifetime flying privileges too. This idea is based on...

Fear grips my heart when I see a crowd of people trekking home from a corner of a street. They are all moving towards my direction. I think they look very much like people migrating into our country. Maybe I should call them refugees. But, were they really what I took them to be? For I know my country is not a place where people would willingly come to reside. Out of the large crowd, I see a lady with a baby on her back smiling at me. As she comes closer, I discover she is a neighbor. I smile back at her, but with curiosity within me. "Neighbor, where are these people coming from?" I ask. "From St. Matthew," she replies, as I look into her eyeballs with surprise. "What's happening in St. Matthew...

We have heard a whole lot of talk about fuel cells and of course it is a worthy endeavor. Portable generators, cars, transportation industry, Power generators, Ships, etc. can benefit. However in a mobile application such as a shuttle bus, car, truck, train, tractor, motor scooter or even a Segway air-cushioned platform mover, there is the problem of heat. The heat occurs on transfer of fuel. So if we are talking about a portable application the heat can make steam and the steam can be used for additional power needed also. In an off road application when we are in places of drought and extreme fire hard there is a significant problem which needs to be better addressed with the material sciences to...

Allow me a short analogy here to start...Solenopsis, a member of the ants family, build piles of sand or soil that can be more than a couple of feet on top of the soil and can create a deep burrow way underneath, and they are known for their dogged determination and hot temper. Their enemies know at once that these small creatures are, in reality, dangerous and can be difficult to defeat.When the makers of small cars finished building their latest models, they may have the little but deadly creatures on their mind because their products were designed in congruence to the little insect's capability to be powerful and ferocious in spite of its size. In today's contemporary society, the makers of...

Our Airports have excess capacity, which is not being used due to the fact that many airliners sit during the nighttime and fly during the day. This is only one problem we have that can be solved through better optimization. You can go to any large airport in this country and see how few aircraft are taking off in the middle of the night.This is a problem at Airports, where aircraft are usually parked in the middle of the night and fewer and fewer red eye flights these days. Most of this is due to competition of the low fair airlines. It would be good if we could figure out a way to use these resources better.There is tremendous growth at our airports for instance Dallas, Las Vegas, Atlanta, San...

Question: Have plastic food and beverage containers been proven safe?Answer: No.During the film's graduation party in THE GRADUATE, Mr. McGuire pulls Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) aside to offer sage advice for his future. His future would be one word: "plastics."Of course, we all know Mr. McGuire's advice and prognostication was correct. Plastics can only be made by man in his infinite wisdom, hence they are patentable. The profit in the manufacture of plastics has been huge. Plastics are everywhere. Plastic manufacturing now uses 4% of the world's oil production annually. Automobiles are now 9% plastic. It is of my special concern that more foods and beverages are being put into plastic...

In years past, serious rosarians would never consider having a potted rose on their property unless it was just waiting for its home to be prepared in the garden.Times have changed and potted roses now have a place in the lives of condo and apartment dwellers, city slickers who don't live within sight of a tree, and anyone who has an empty space on their terrace or patio in need of the beauty that only a rose can bring.Not all roses are good candidates for growing in pots. The following varieties have been found to do best. However, you should feel free to experiment with any other varieties, even climbers, and see how they make out.All that Jazz Ballerina Blush Noisette Bonica Cecile Brunner...

How safe are our West Coast Ports? Many say security is a lot tighter after 9-11 and that it is safe and under control? Yet how can we be sure what is in those containers? What if a container is set off in the port itself before inspection? If it is on the West Coast the on-shore breeze will carry the radiated particulate matter into the city. Let us look at Long Beech for instance, there are 460 square miles of concrete as you go inland and civilization abounds in every direction. Sixteen point five million people are there and at risk. Another terrible scenario is; what if a short range missile is launched from a cargo ship as it enters local ocean areas? Port Safety is an issue; Well we sold the...
