There is a dishwasher in work that has been in the cafe since my boss' family moved here from Italy during the war. Last week one on the weights on a chain snapped off and slid down the pipe to the motor. I managed to get it out but couldn't attatch it to the chain because the hook had snapped. We replaced it with a fishing weight and it was working just fine until today. Today a bar that was screwed to another bar came loose and now we cannot use the 'empty water' function but it still washes. The inner bar where the screw was attached has partially snapped from rust wear and taer and now I don't know what to do to reatach the bar. Does anyone have any suggestions? They would be much appreciated. Sorry for the drawn out description and lack of jargon but I really am a novice at this but my boss expects miracles regardless

If you think you may need a Faraday cage and you don’t want to spend too much time or money and you want it to look nice in your den or home office then this is the project for you. You can use your Faraday cage to store some of your electronic devices when they are not in use and protect them against the effects of a solar storm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 or an electromagnetic pulse from an exoatmospheric nuclear detonation: http://www.empcommission.org/docs/empc_exec_rpt.pdf If you do not have one already, you will need to purchase a metal file cabinet.

PJ over at http://www.prepper-resources.com/ Re-posted my Instructable on making a condenser microphone power supply and added some commentary and also made the connection that with such a sensitive microphone set up (and cheap), it would make a good audio surveillance set up for emergency situations. You would be able to hear what’s going on as if you were standing outside while you are still indoors with all the doors and windows shut. The article is here (including the schematic, assembly drawings and photos: http://www.prepper-resources.com/outdoor-surveillance-with-condenser-microphones/ Here is a little bit from the article: Condenser Microphones typically sound better than dynamic microphones. If you are unfamiliar with these two types of microphones you may want to read about them in this Wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphones#Condenser_microphone

An interesting future. http://www.ted.com/talks/lisa_harouni_a_primer_on_3d_printing.html 2012 may be the year of 3D printing, when this three-decade-old technology finally becomes accessible and even commonplace. Lisa Harouni gives a useful introduction to this fascinating way of making things -- including intricate objects once impossible to create. Lisa Harouni is the co-founder of Digital Forming, working in "additive manufacturing" -- or 3D printing.

The applicability of the nature of the logistics management is the nfc tags technology in logistics management. Enterprises use the entire process of logistics management, to achieve the two purposes of reducing costs and improving service levels.

Since I have a few prepper friends and family I decided to shop around for some inexpensive long run time flashlights. As you may know from the thread on capacitor flashlights, I don’t need any batteries for flashlights but these are so cheap I decided to buy some for here and there like at work or in my car trunk. Plus they make great gifts. I found several products but the two that really caught my eye were surprisingly made/marketed by battery companies. First there is a two pack I found at a Target store. It is an Energizer product. It does not appear on the Energizer.com web site. Here is a description on it: 2 flashlights per pack with 2 carbon type d cells included. Each flashlight runs on one d cell. The package says 40 hour run time. I made some quick current measurements and it looks like 40 hours with a carbon battery is very likely. 20 hours is a sure thing. I am planning on doing a test on the actual run time. It will run about twice as long with an alkaline battery. They did a...

Arto Lauri, who revealed also the HAARP Fukushima before NASA, has now delivered some serious pictures! These pictures are considered ILLEGAL in Finland and they are showing inside of nuclear plant and how they load the plutonium and transfer it for example with Arctic Sea to Israel/America... http://www.hs.fi/english/article/Russian+inspectors+iArctic+Seai+only+carried+timber+cargo/1135249190220 Arto Lauri has been working on nuclear plant about 20 years and operated all the most important instruments there and also with security.

The Guardian Dog – the star of Text From Dog – takes time out from annoying his owner to give his thoughts on technology ... and bacon What's your favourite piece of technology, and how has it improved your life? I have a rubber hamburger that squeaks. It's pretty awesome but I suppose it doesn't count as "technology". I have a mobile phone, and I learned to text on it. It hasn't really improved my life. Maybe if I was a human I'd say "My phone is AMAZING. I couldn't LIVE without it." Luckily I'm a dog. Humans are idiots. When was the last time you used it, and what for? Two minutes ago. I sent a text to the guy who "looks after me". It said "Buy me biscuits". I sent it 29 times so he doesn't forget. Now he's swearing at me. This is the kind of stuff I have to put up with.
