vote! Robotic Snake that Generates Power from Wave Energy

-

While humanity goes up on the technological ladder, it is necessary to keep an eye on our surroundings. 20 age's technological boom increased our need in energy, and it greatly increased our negative influence on ecology of Earth. Now it is the time when we must learn on our mistakes, and find a new, clean source of energy for our needs. There already are several methods to make ecologically clean energy: solar batteries, windmills… Even the energy of ocean waves can be used! This interesting prototype that looks like a very long snake is meant especially for these purposes.This snake is called "Anaconda", and it is designed especially for capturing wave energy, which is an infinite (well, almost infinite) source of energy. Huge percentage of our planet's surface is covered by oceans, so it is a shame that we waste such powerful and huge source of energy while burning Earth's resources. The power of ocean waves bends Anaconda's body and pushes the generator, located in its tail, converting kinetic energy of wave into an electrical energy. This snake now exists only as a working prototype, and it is approximately 2 meters long. When it will be fully tested, it will be much longer. 200-meters long "Anaconda" will be capable of producing 1 megawatt of ecologically clean and cheap energy. It will be enough to power up 1000 homes, so dozen of this snake-robots can supply with power a small town. It is built from materials that are highly resistant to salt-water corrosion, so its lifetime will be longer than that of any existing wave-generators.It is a very wise choice – to use the energy sources that are almost infinite, and do not harm the ecology. This robot-snake is not first prototype of wave-driven generator, but it looks much more promising than other ones. Let us hope that this cheap and clean energy will power up our houses in not so distant future.

Active Directory Domain Services Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), formerly known as Active Directory Directory Services, is the central location for configuration information, authentication requests, and information about all of the objects that are stored within your forest. Using Active Directory, you can efficiently manage users, computers, groups, printers, applications, and other directory-enabled objects from one secure, centralized location. Auditing.  Changes made to Active Directory objects can be recorded so that you know what was changed on the object, as well as the previous and current values for the changed attributes. Fine-Grained Passwords.  Password policies can be configured for distinct groups within the domain. No longer does every account have to use the same password policy within the domain. Read-Only Domain Controller.  A domain controller with a read-only version of the Active Directory database can be deployed in environments where th...

Windows Server Support Interview Questions and Answers (L1)

IIS • Fault-tolerant process architecture----- The IIS 6.0 fault-tolerant process architecture isolates Web sites and applications into self-contained units called application pools • Health Monitoring---- IIS 6.0 periodically checks the status of an application pool with automatic restart on failure of the Web sites and applications within that application pool, increasing application availability. IIS 6.0 protects the server, and other applications, by automatically disabling Web sites and applications that fail too often within a short amount of time • Automatic Process Recycling--- IIS 6.0 automatically stops and restarts faulty Web sites and applications based on a flexible set of criteria, including CPU utilization and memory consumption, while queuing requests • Rapid-fail Protection---- If an application fails too often within a short amount of time, IIS 6.0 will automatically disable it and return a "503 Service Unavailable" error message to any new or queued re...

How to Write a Letter Requesting Sponsorship

-
Write the letter in proper format. Start with the title of the person you are addressing, the address, and date. Begin with a description of the company (if it's a corporate letter) or state who you are (if it's for personal sponsorship) For example, So and So firm is a nonprofit organization committed to rehabilitation... whatever. State the event and the purpose in lucid terms. "We are holding a ---- event on ----- for raising money/making a video/whatever the reason." Request sponsorship by saying "We would be grateful if you helped in sponsoring our event...". Try to give a plan, for example do you want a banner? An announcement? If it's a banner or the sort you could quote sizes and prices. This makes it easier for companies to select a sponsorship plan instead of trying to figure out what exactly you want and how much. Give details. For example, how many people are attending? Who will be the Chief Guest/guests, whether your event will be ...
