HOW TO CLEAN NIKE SHOES

For best results, clean your shoes immediately after exposing them to dirt.

SHOE CLEANING GUIDELINES

  1. Remove excess dirt first. Use a soft-bristled brush (shoe brush, old toothbrush) to clean the outsole.
  2. Mix warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent so the mixture is slightly soapy.
  3. Use a sponge, soft cloth, or soft brush to apply a small amount of the water/detergent mixture and clean the affected areas.
  4. Using another sponge or soft cloth, apply a small amount of warm water to remove any excess detergent.
  5. Air dry the shoes at room temperature.
  6. Repeat these steps to attempt to remove persistent stains.
Saddle soap can soften leather, so we recommend using it only on leather components on your shoes that are not subject to excessive stress.
Do not use saddle soap on soccer cleats, basketball shoes, golf shoes, training shoes, or any other shoes designed for sports or activities involving lateral movement.
We do NOT recommend any other cleaning methods, placing your shoes in a washing machine or dryer, or using any other products on your shoes such as bleach or other chemicals. Please only follow the guidelines listed above.

CLEANING INSOLES TO REDUCE SHOE ODOR
  1. Remove the insoles from your shoes.
  2. Follow the same cleaning steps listed above.
  3. Air dry completely before putting the insoles back in the shoes.
If cleaning insoles does not reduce shoe odor, please replace the insoles. Replacement insoles are available at most sporting goods and shoe stores.

-ing form:
  • as a verb
    • Using another sponge or soft cloth, apply a small amount of warm water to remove any excess detergent.
  • as noun/gerund
    • placing your shoes in a washing machine or dryer
  • as adjective
    •  If cleaning insoles does not reduce shoe odor, please replace the insoles
-ing form according to wikipedia:
-ing is a suffix used to make one of the inflected forms of English verbs. This verb form is used as a present participle, as a gerund, and sometimes as an independent noun or adjective.
What parallels the usages of present participles as adjectival or adverbial phrases is that past participles can also be used as adjectives or adverbs, but not as nouns. Aside from present participles, past participles, and gerunds, infinitives, the other type of nonfinite verb, can be used as adjectives, adverbs, or nouns.

Direct and Indirect Speech

Channing Tatum: A Work in Progress

In Steven Soderbergh’s 2012 film “Magic Mike,” we meet the title character, played by Channing Tatum, as he emerges from postcoital slumber into a beer-colored Tampa morning, dragging his remarkable body — huge shoulders, tiny waist, a bas-relief of bare buttocks — to the bathroom to shave his pubic hair. “Foxcatcher,” the new film by Bennett Miller, opens to a somewhat different expression of Tatum’s intense and bankable physicality: the figure of Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz grappling violently on the mat with a dummy, the camera trained on his squirming fingers and misshapen ears, the microphone uncomfortably sensitive to the sound of his panting. After practice, Schultz retreats to a grim brown apartment where the lampshades don’t entirely cover the bulbs, and where a gold medal in a velveteen case seems to offer hollow consolation. This is a Tatum role bereft of sexual glamour; the jock has come crashing down to earth.

One of those blockbusters, “21 Jump Street,” offers a hilarious exploration of the high school reunion effect. In it, Tatum plays a barely literate meathead (opposite a meek and bookish Jonah Hill) who returns to high school as an undercover police officer to find that the behavior that had made him a popular teenager — for example, punching a black, gay student in the parking lot — now begets outrage. Reid Carolin, Tatum’s best friend and production partner in the company Free Association, believes that the movie succeeds in part because we are watching Tatum work through his own life story. “I don’t know if he understands how brilliantly he’s channeling and poking fun at that part of himself in the character,” Carolin explains. It’s tempting, in any case, to think that Tatum has been reappraising an old idea about himself so that he can move on to new ones.

Tatum’s path to fame is well known: a blue-collar upbringing mostly in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, an unsuccessful go of college on a football scholarship, then construction jobs, stripping, dancing, modeling and, finally, Hollywood. The actor, now 34, had to cobble together an education along the way. He is still adding matter, to use a term from sculpture, which has been his quiet passion for the last few years. “I could never carve away marble like the ancients,” he says. “I’m more of an additive guy.”

Tatum did not exactly coast through adolescence on the strength of his appearance, and he did not always believe that the world of ideas was available to him. As a child he struggled with A.D.H.D. and dyslexia, was prescribed stimulants and did poorly in school. “I have never considered myself a very smart person, for a lot of reasons,” he says. “Not having early success on that one path messes with you. You get lumped in classes with kids with autism and Down Syndrome, and you look around and say, Okay, so this is where I’m at. Or you get put in the typical classes and you say, All right, I’m obviously not like these kids either. So you’re kind of nowhere. You’re just different. The system is broken. If we can streamline a multibillion-dollar company, we should be able to help kids who struggle the way I did.”

I went to New York and did the whole modeling thing, and I just learned everything I could from anybody who knew something I didn’t. I’ve had a few John du Ponts in my life, to be honest. I think that’s one thing I’m pretty skilled at. I can look at a person and say, They’ve got something that I want up there in their head. I’m going to do my best to get in there and absorb it. My mom said, ‘Be a sponge.’ And so I’ve learned more from people than I have from school or from books.”

“Chan’s a blue-collar person, a worker by nature,” Carolin said. “So when he’s producing or financing or developing, he doesn’t just want credit for something. He’s looking to get into it, to learn to do it. He’s so physically talented and good-looking and all that movie star stuff, but there’s a curiosity in him that originates in the fact that he really did struggle. Football didn’t stick. College didn’t stick. And yet he has the highest emotional intelligence of anyone I know. And he has the ability to teach others, including me, how to make decisions from that place.”

People who know Tatum often refer to his sweetness, and lately, unbidden, they mention what a terrific father he must be. In May of last year, Tatum and his wife, the actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum, had a daughter, Everly. He finds fatherhood difficult, but it has taught him to be a more diligent student of himself. “You notice your behavior, like, Wow, I don’t have much patience right now. Why is that?” he explains. “You spend the day watching this thing constantly taking in information, and you have to be sure you’re making that happen. At the end of the day when I put her to bed, I feel glad to have some peace but say to myself, That was so much fun.”

 Tatum, who still prefers to work in clay, cites Auguste Rodin as one of his sculptural heroes. (“My stuff ends up looking like his stuff,” he says, “although it’s crazy that I would even put our names in the same sentence.”) He acknowledges that making art has been a refuge from acting at a time when he has never had more offers. “It’s so internal. You get so focused on yourself as an actor,” he says. “You never feel totally confident that you got it right, and in the end the director will cut everything away to tell the story he wants to tell. With sculpting, nothing is cloudy or mystical. It’s just about this object, and if you’re trying to depict reality, and you do it well, then the outcome is the truth.”

“Foxcatcher” is a film that frustrates any search for the straightforward truth; it offers a devastating account of an inexplicable act, and Tatum admits that when he first read the script, about eight years ago, he didn’t understand it. Was John du Pont, played by an utterly transformed Steve Carell, in love with Mark Schultz? Was he driven by a desire to please an unloving mother (Vanessa Redgrave, marvelously haughty as the old Mrs. du Pont)? “There’s definitely an Oedipal element,” Tatum acknowledges. “But there’s no resolve. There’s no huge lesson. It just tries to show what really happened, and that’s never easy.” Tatum’s friends say that he has never prepared more intensely for a role. He trained for it in the gym during breaks from shooting “White House Down” in Canada. Mark Ruffalo, who plays Mark’s brother Dave Schultz, advised him to study the real Mark Schultz closely. Tatum spent a number of days with Schultz, and the two remain in touch.

Active and Passive form (Softskill 4SA04)

Journalist with Ebola has passion for Liberia
By MICHELLE R. SMITH

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) — A passion for Liberia and the plight of its people drove Ashoka Mukpo to work there, first to aid relief efforts and then as a photojournalist to tell its story. But Mukpo has an unusual story of his own: As an infant, he was identified as a reincarnated Tibetan lama, a role he chose not to pursue.

Mukpo, 33, was diagnosed Thursday with Ebola and was being cared for at a treatment center in the Liberian capital, Monrovia. His family said he was expected to leave there Sunday and arrive at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha Monday.
                                                                                                            
His mother, Diana Mukpo, comes from an upper-class aristocratic family in Great Britain. At age 16, she left boarding school in Scotland and married Tibetan Buddhist leader Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who founded the Shambhala community that spread Buddhism in the West. She was one of several wives.

They moved to Boulder, Colorado, in the 1970s and set up a Buddhist center, where notables such as Allen Ginsberg, Joni Mitchell and William Burroughs studied and Trungpa advocated tantric sex.

After starting a family with Trungpa, Mukpo's mother connected with another of her husband's followers, Dr. Mitchell Levy, a Jewish man from New York.

Levy is Mukpo's biological father, Mukpo said in an interview with the Dorje Shugden Buddhist website, but Trungpa raised Mukpo as his own son.

When Mukpo was a few months old, he was recognized by another Buddhist lama as the ninth Khamnyon Tulku, or reincarnated lama, a spiritual leader.

Mukpo's older half-brother, Gesar Mukpo, son of Diana Mukpo and Trungpa, also was named a tulku and succeeded his father as leader of the Shambhala community after his death in 1987.

After he died, Mukpo's mother and Levy married and moved to Providence. Levy is medical director of the intensive care unit at Rhode Island Hospital and a professor and chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Brown University's medical school. Mukpo's mother is a horse trainer who owns a stable outside Boston.

Mukpo attended Moses Brown, a Quaker day school in Providence. He received degrees from Georgetown University and the London School of Economics.

His more traditional life sometimes caused angst.

"When you're 15, you can't say, 'Dude, I'm a reincarnated spiritual master from the hills of Tibet, and my father was this womanizing, drinking, Tibetan-crazy-wisdom genius,' without people thinking you're weird," he said in the Dorje Shugden interview.

In 2002, he traveled to Tibet with his parents to visit the monastery that's his family's spiritual home.

"Someone put a sick baby in front of my face and asked me to blow on it. I did. I'm not going to be the guy who says, 'This whole thing doesn't make sense for me, sorry!'" he said in the interview. "Sometimes I do feel like it wasn't my decision to take this title on, but now I feel like someone put me in the position of abandoning it."

Mukpo ultimately decided not to embrace his status as a reincarnated lama, although he's still a practicing Buddhist, Levy said.

"He's proud of his street cred and his intellectual credibility that he feels he's earned, and for him, the reincarnated tulku, although a powerful tradition and a very important tradition, I don't think he wanted to feel like he was being handed something he didn't earn," Levy said.

Mukpo has worked at Human Rights Watch and spent two years in Liberia working as a researcher for the Sustainable Development Institute, a nonprofit shining light on concerns of workers in mining camps outside Monrovia.

Levy said his son returned to Providence in May and intended to pursue a career as a journalist. By August, he saw what was happening in Liberia and decided to return, Levy said.

"His intention in going back was to illustrate the tremendous burden and impact of the Ebola epidemic," Levy said. "He sensed that the international community was isolating Liberia rather than reaching out to help them."

Mukpo said he was filming inside and around clinics and high-risk areas but doesn't know how he was infected, Levy said.

Levy said he's been reassuring his son, who is staying in an isolation tent and will receive better care in the U.S., that he'll recover.

Besides NBC, Mukpo has worked for Vice News and other media outlets. In an opinion piece in Al Jazeera America on Sept. 17, Mukpo wrote that in the last few weeks he had seen children close to death turned away from treatment centers and heard stories of people waiting days to be picked up by ambulances.

He called the American response to the crisis underwhelming and slow.

"The most critical element of all is time," he wrote. "Every life saved matters."

UK kicking out engineers to work for competitors says Dyson
UK kicking out engineers to work for competitors says Dyson
UK menendang keluar para insinyur untuk bersaing dengan kompetitor kata Dyson
Britain must stop kicking out the foreign-born engineers it trains and pay native students to study engineering, according to James Dyson.
inggris harus berhenti melatih dan membiayai para murid asing untuk belajar teknik, menurut james Dyon.
Writing in The Financial Times, the prominent engineer and businessman said a lack of suitable engineers to apply for positions at his firm’s R&D centre in Wiltshire was holding back the company – and the country.
Tertulis di The Financial Times, insinyur terkemuka dan pengusaha mengatakan kurangnya insinyur yang cocok untuk melamar posisi di R&D center perusahaannya di Wiltshire memegang kembali perusahaan - dan negara.
He said the solution to this ‘crisis in engineering’, which he claimed meant 61,000 engineering vacancies at British companies would go unfilled this year, was in offering financial incentives to encourage students into the sector and in making it easier for foreign students to stay rather than losing their talents after they graduate.
Ia berkata solusi dari 'krisis teknik', yang berarti 61.000 teknik Lowongan di perusahaan-perusahaan Inggris akan terisi tahun ini, dalam menawarkan insentif keuangan untuk mendorong siswa ke sektor dan membuatnya lebih mudah bagi pelajar-pelajar asing untuk tinggal daripada kehilangan bakat mereka setelah mereka lulus.
‘We take their money and we give them our knowledge,’ he wrote.
‘kami mengambil uangnya dan kami memberikan pengetahuan kami kepada mereka,’ ia menulis.
‘But then we kick them out, dispatching newly trained engineers to foreign shores.
‘Tapi kemudian kami menendang mereka keluar, mengirim insinyur yang baru dilatih untuk keluar negeri.
Our experts are training the competition.’
Para ahli kami sedang berlatih kompetisi.’
He claimed that government advisers estimate 20 per cent of all engineers in strategically important sectors were born abroad, but that employer fees, paperwork and visa restrictions meant that the world’s most promising engineers were not being given a chance to contribute to Britain after studying here.
Ia mengklaim bahwa penasihat pemerintah memperkirakan 20 persen dari semua insinyur di sektor-sektor strategis penting lahir di luar negeri, tetapi pembatasan biaya majikan itu, dokumen dan visa yang berarti bahwa insinyur dunia yang paling menjanjikan tidak diberi kesempatan untuk berkontribusi ke Inggris setelah belajar di sini.
In response, immigration minister Mark Harper said the four months foreign graduates had to secure a professional job before they had to leave the country was plenty of time for those with in-demand skills, and that employer sponsorship fees were competitive with other countries.
Sebagai tanggapan, Menteri Imigrasi Mark Harper mengatakan empat bulan lulusan luar negeri harus memeroleh pekerjaan profesional sebelum mereka diharuskan meninggalkan negara itu banyak waktu untuk mereka dengan permintaan keterampilan, dan bahwa biaya sponsorship majikan yang kompetitif dengan negara lain.
Dyson is planning to expand its Malmesbury research centre and recruit 3,000 new engineers.
Dyson berencana untuk memperluas pusat penelitian Malmesbury dan merekrut 3.000 insinyur baru.

But the inventor said he had no idea where those engineers would come from and that 120 positions at the company went unfilled last year.
Tapi penemu mengatakan ia tidak tahu dari mana mereka akan datang dan 120 posisi di perusahaan itu
terisi tahun lalu.
He said that the cost of paying engineering students’ tuition fees would quickly be recouped through greater tax revenue and provide the necessary skills to build Britain’s future power stations, high-speed railways and exportable technologies.
Dia mengatakan bahwa biaya membayar biaya pendidikan mahasiswa teknik 'dengan cepat akan dapat diperoleh kembali melalui penerimaan pajak yang lebih besar dan memberikan keterampilan yang diperlukan untuk membangun stasiun listrik masa di depan Inggris, kereta api berkecepatan tinggi dan teknologi ekspor
The UK should also increase payments to postgraduate students, he added.
Inggris juga harus meningkatkan pembayaran kepada mahasiswa pascasarjana, ia menambahkan.
‘Foreign postgraduate students at our universities vastly outnumber their British colleagues.
'Mahasiswa pascasarjana asing di universitas kami jauh melebihi rekan-rekan Inggris mereka.
That might change if we paid postgraduate researchers properly for their work.’
Yang mungkin berubah jika kita membayar peneliti pascasarjana baik untuk pekerjaan mereka. "
Dyson is currently advertising around 60 research and development roles, mostly with unspecified but ‘competitive’ salaries.
Dyson saat ini iklan sekitar 60 peran penelitian dan pengembangan, sebagian besar dengan tidak ditentukan tapi gaji 'kompetitif'.
One job as a thermodynamics research engineer comes with a salary of £28,000 - £38,996.
Salah satu pekerjaan sebagai seorang insinyur penelitian termodinamika datang dengan gaji £ 28.000 - £ 38.996.

Civil Engineering Heading Back To The Future
Teknik Sipil Bersiap Untuk Masa Depan


`You can't have civilization without civil engineering."

`Anda tidak dapat memiliki peradaban tanpa teknik sipil."

That saying, popular among civil engineers, is as true today as it was when the Roman aqueducts were built.


Pepatah itu populer  diantara para teknik sipil, dan itu memang benar adanya seperti ketika pada saat itu bangsa romawi membangun saluran air.

According to James E. Davis, executive director of the Reston, Va. based American Society of Civil Engineers, civil engineering is experiencing a golden era to rival the mid-1950s, when the Federal Highway Defense Act launched America's interstate highway system

Menurut James E. Davis, direktur eksekutif American Society Reston, Va. Berbasis perkumpulan teknik sipil se-Amerika, teknik sipil sedang mengalami masa keemasan untuk menyaingi  masa pertengahan 1950-an,  ketika  Federal Highway Defense Act meluncurkan jalan raya antar Negara bagian.


"Move ahead 40 years, and a lot of those original guys are retiring," Davis said.

“pandanglah 40 tahun kedepan, dan akan banyak orang-orang asli pension,” David berkata.


"What's happening now is the supply [of civil engineers] is down, and the demand is increasing. There's a need to rebuild America's infrastructure."

“Apa yang terjadi sekarang adalah pasokan (teknik sipil) menurun dan permintaan investasi meningkat. Ada kebutuhan untuk membangun kembali infrastruktur Amerika.”


According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, civil engineering is the third largest branch of engineering in terms of employment, after electrical and mechanical engineering.


Menurut statistik Biro Pekerjaan Umum Amerika Serikat, teknik sipil adalah cabang terbesar ketiga teknik dalam hal pekerjaan, setelah teknik elektro dan mekanik.

About half of all civil engineers work for companies that produce designs for new construction projects.


Sekitar setengah dari semua insinyur sipil bekerja untuk perusahaan itu menghasilkan desain untuk proyek-proyek konstruksi baru.


Some work in government positions, while still others are self-employed consultants.


Beberapa pekerjaan di posisi pemerintahan, sementara yang lain adalah konsultan wiraswasta.


There are seven major branches of civil engineering: construction, environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, urban and community planning and water resources engineering.


Ada tujuh cabang utama teknik sipil: konstruksi, transportasi lingkungan, geoteknik, struktur transportasi , perkotaan dan perencanaan masyarakat dan rekayasa sumber daya air

                 
They rely on computers in the production and analysis of designs, and in simulating how a structure will perform when finished.

Mereka bergantung pada komputer dalam produksi dan analisis desain, dan simulasi bagaimana struktur akan tampil ketika selesai.


Working as part of an interdisciplinary team, civil engineers frequently consult with specialists in other occupations to solve problems.


Bekerja sebagai bagian dari tim interdisipliner, insinyur sipil secara berkala berkonsultasi dengan spesialis di bidang lain untuk memecahkan permasalahan-permasalahan.


In many engineering-degree programs at the college level, students study basic sciences, mathematics and introductory engineering courses during their first two years, then concentrate in a specific area in their last two years.


Dalam banyak program tingkatan teknik di jenjang perguruan tinggi, siswa mempelajari ilmu-ilmu dasar, matematika dan kursus teknik pengantar selama dua tahun pertama mereka, kemudian berkonsentrasi pada area spesifik di dua tahun terakhir mereka.
 

Because future civil engineers will lead design and construction teams on a variety of public structures, "leadership skills will be needed," David said.

Karena Teknik sipil akan memimpin tim desain dan konstruksi di berbagai struktur masyarakan dimasa depan, “Kemampuan kpemimpinan akan dibutuhkan,” ujar David.

What is Civil Engineering?
What is Civil Engineering?

Apakah Teknik Sipil?
Civil engineering is arguably the oldest engineering discipline.

Teknik sipil adalah teknik yang bisa dibilang paling tua dalam ilmu tenik.
It deals with the built environment and can be dated to the first time someone placed a roof over his or her head or laid a tree trunk across a river to make it easier to get across.

Teknik sipil ini berkaitan dengan pembangunan lingkungan dan boleh jadi ini adalah hal pertama bagi seseorang untuk membuat tempat tinggal untuknya atau membentangkan batang pohon agar lebih mudah dalam menyebrangi sungai.

The built environment encompasses much of what defines modern civilization.

Lingkungan yang dibangun mencakup banyak hal yang berkaitan dengan masyarakat modern.
Buildings and bridges are often the first constructions that come to mind, as they are the most conspicuous creations of structural engineering, one of civil engineering's major sub-disciplines.

Gedung-gedung dan jembatan-jembatan sering menjadi bangunan yang pertama dipikiran, karena hal itu adalah kreasi struktur teknik yang paling mencyolok  mata, salah satu subjek pokok dari ilmu tenik.

Roads, railroads, subway systems, and airports are designed by transportation engineers, another category of civil engineering.
Jalan raya, rel kereta api, jaringan bawah tanah, dan bandara adalah rancangan dari teknik transportasi, kategori lain dari teknik sipil.
And then there are the less visible creations of civil engineers.
Dan ada beberapa kreasi dari teknik sipil yang kurang terpikirkan.
Every time you open a water faucet, you expect water to come out, without thinking that civil engineers made it possible.
Setiap kali kamu membuka keran air, kamu mengira air akan keluar, Tanpa berpikir bahwa para teknik sipil yang membuat itu terjadi.

New York City has one of the world’s most impressive water supply systems, receiving billions of gallons of high-quality water from the Catskills over one hundred miles away.

Kota New York telah memiliki salah satu jaringan air yang paling menakjubkan di dunia, menerima miliyaran gallon air berkualitas tinggi dari Catskill yang jauhnya lebih dari seratus kilometer.

Similarly, not many people seem to worry about what happens to the water after it has served its purposes.

Demikian pula, banyak orang yang terlihat tidak hawatir tentang apa yang terjadi pada air yang telah di distribusikan ke tujuan.

The old civil engineering discipline of sanitary engineering has evolved into modern environmental engineering of such significance that most academic departments have changed their names to civil and environmental engineering.

Ilmu kuno tenik sipil pada teknik sanitasi telah berembang menjadi teknik lingkungan modern, seperti halnya lembaga akademis yang telah merubah nama mereka dari sipil dan teknik lingungan.

These few examples illustrate that civil engineers do a lot more than design buildings and bridges
Ini adalah beberapa contoh ilustrasi dari teknik sipil yang lebih mengutamakan rancangan gedung-gedung dan jembatan-jembatan.
They can be found in the aerospace industry, designing jetliners and space stations; in the automotive industry, perfecting the load-carrying capacity of a chassis and improving the crashworthiness of bumpers and doors; and they can be found in the ship building industry, the power industry, and many other industries wherever constructed facilities are involved.

Mereka bisa ditemukan di industri dirgantara, merancang pesawat-pesawat jet dan stasiun-stasiun; dalam industry otomotif,menyempurnakan kapasitas membawa beban-chassis dan meningkatkan kelayakan bemper-bemper dan pintu-pintu; dan merela bisa ditemukan pada indistri pembangunan apal, industri listrik, dan banyak industri lain yang merancang perkembangan fasilitas.

And they plan and oversee the construction of these facilities as construction managers.

Dan mereka merencanakan dan mengawasi pembangunan fasilitas-fasilitas ini sebagai manajer konstruksi.

Civil engineering is an exciting profession because at the end of the day you can see the results of your work, whether this is a completed bridge, a high-rise building, a subway station, or a hydroelectric dam.
Teknik sipil adalah pekerjaan yang menarik karena pada ahirnya kamu bisa melihat hasil dari pekerjaanmu, seperti jembatan ini, sebuah gedung pencakar langit, sebuah stasiun bawah tanah atau sebuah bendungan hidroelektrik,

Space technology goes against the grain

Teknologi ruang angkasa bertentangan dengan gandum
British Engineers propose sending a manned wooden spaceship to the moon by 2020.
Insinyur Inggris mengusulkan mengirimkan pesawat ruang angkasa kayu berawak ke bulan pada tahun 2020.
The engineers, all former employees of the aerospace division of Chum Group Oy, believe a composite fuselage made from 40 per cent redwood fibres will provide the spacecraft with three desirable qualities required for travel beyond Earth’s orbit.
Para insinyur, semua mantan karyawan dari divisi luar angkasa untuk Chum Grup Oy, percaya pesawat komposit yang terbuat dari 40 persen serat redwood akan menyediakan pesawat ruang angkasa dengan tiga kualitas yang diinginkan diperlukan untuk perjalanan di luar orbit Bumi.
‘It sounds crazy but this has been proven our lab tests,’ said Robert Wood, chairman of Suffolk-based Composite Space Exploration. ’One, it’s light so will use less fuel. Two, its strong, and it’ll bloody well need to get into space. Three, wood is renewable so that ticks all the ‘sustainability’ boxes.’
"Kedengarannya gila tapi ini telah terbukti tes laboratorium kami," kata Robert Wood, ketua Suffolk berbasis Komposit Eksplorasi Ruang Angkasa. "Satu, Ringan sehingga akan menggunakan lebih sedikit bahan bakar. Dua, kuat, dan itu akan mudah  untuk mendapatkan ke ruang angkasa. Tiga, kayu dapat di perbaharui supaya semua kotak yang 'keberlanjutan'. '
Wood explained to The Engineer that fibres from the redwood tree can be extracted in an environmentally-friendly way and then recombined with what he described as ‘proprietary materials’ to make a composite fuselage that tolerates exceptionally high temperatures and pressure.
Wood menjelaskan kepada Para Insinyur bahwa serat dari pohon redwood dapat diekstraksi dengan cara yang ramah lingkungan dan kemudian digabungkan dengan apa yang ia sebut sebagai 'bahan eksklusif' untuk membuat pesawat komposit yang mentolerir suhu yang sangat tinggi dan tekanan.
The company’s laminating process, which is subject to a patent application, is also key to the mission, as it will help form an ablative skin for re-entry.
Proses laminating perusahaan, yang merupakan subyek permohonan paten, juga kunci untuk misi tersebut, karena akan membantu membentuk kulit ablatif untuk masuk kembali.
He added that the development of a prototype is ‘at an advanced stage’ and that a series of manned test flights in low Earth orbit are scheduled for 2016 from a site in Kazakhstan.
Dia menambahkan bahwa pengembangan prototipe adalah 'pada stadium lanjut dan bahwa serangkaian uji terbang berawak di orbit rendah Bumi dijadwalkan untuk 2016 dari sebuah situs di Kazakhstan.
‘We’ll not risk a human pilot at this stage,’ said Wood. ‘There’s a pet shop on the same industrial estate as ours so we’ll likely buy a cat or a dog and then have spacesuits made for them. If they die? Not the ideal outcome, clearly, but we’ll have gained some telemetry. If they live? Then that’s the best publicity we could hope for: the mission is a success and we can launch a range of merchandise – I’m thinking soft toys - on the back of it. It’s a ‘win win’ and a real fillip for East Anglia!’
"Kami tidak akan mengambil risiko pilot manusia pada tahap ini," kata Wood. "Ada toko hewan peliharaan di kawasan industri yang sama seperti kita sehingga kita mungkin akan membeli kucing atau anjing dan kemudian memiliki antariksa yang dibuat untuk mereka. Jika mereka mati? Bukan hasil yang ideal, jelas, tapi kami akan telah mendapatkan beberapa telemetri. Jika mereka hidup? Maka itulah publisitas terbaik yang kita bisa diharapkan bagi: misi ini sukses dan kita bisa meluncurkan berbagai barang - Aku berpikir mainan - di bagian belakang itu. Ini adalah solusi yang saling menguntungkan dan perangsang nyata untuk East Anglia! '

Materials and manufacturing boost for hydrogen storage
Materials and manufacturing boost for hydrogen storage
Bahan dan mendorong produksi untuk penyimpanan hidrogen
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have created new ceramic materials that could be used to store hydrogen safely and efficiently. 
Insinyur di University of California, San Diego, telah menciptakan bahan keramik baru yang dapat digunakan untuk menyimpan hidrogen secara aman dan efisien.
It is claimed the researchers have, for the first time, created compounds made from mixtures of calcium hexaboride, strontium and barium hexaboride. They also have demonstrated that the compounds could be manufactured using combustion synthesis, a simple, low-cost manufacturing method.
Hal ini diklaim para peneliti telah, untuk pertama kalinya, menciptakan senyawa yang terbuat dari campuran kalsium Hexaboride, strontium dan barium Hexaboride. Mereka juga telah menunjukkan bahwa senyawa dapat diproduksi menggunakan sintesis pembakaran, metode, produksi murah sederhana.
The work is at the proof of concept stage and is part of a $1.2m project funded by the US National Science Foundation, a collaboration between UC San Diego (UCSD), Alfred University in New York State and the University of Nevada, Reno.
Karya ini dengan pembuktian tahapan konsep dan merupakan bagian dari proyek $ 1,2 juta didanai oleh US National Science Foundation, sebuah kolaborasi antara UC San Diego (UCSD), Alfred University di New York State dan University of Nevada, Reno.
The researchers presented their work in March 2014 at the third International Symposium on Nanoscience and Nanomaterials in Mexico.
Para peneliti mempresentasikan karya mereka pada bulan Maret 2014 pada Simposium Internasional ketiga di nanosains dan Nanomaterials di Meksiko.
Storing hydrogen has become increasingly important, as hydrogen fuel cells become more popular power sources in industry and elsewhere. Hydrogen, however, is difficult to store as it tends to diffuse through the walls of pressurised tanks. It also needs to be compressed in order to occupy manageable amounts of space when stored.
Menyimpan hidrogen menjadi semakin penting, sebagai sel bahan bakar hidrogen menjadi sumber daya lebih populer di industri dan di tempat lain. Hidrogen, bagaimanapun, adalah sulit untuk disimpan karena cenderung menyebar melalui dinding tangki bertekanan. Hal ini juga perlu dikompresi untuk menempati sejumlah ruang saat disimpan
According to UCSD, the resulting ceramics are essentially crystalline structures in a cage of boron. To store hydrogen, the researchers would swap the calcium, strontium and boron with hydrogen atoms within the cage.
Menurut UCSD, keramik yang dihasilkan merupakan struktur dasarnya adalah kristal dalam sangkar boron. Untuk menyimpan hidrogen, para peneliti akan menukar kalsium, strontium dan boron dengan atom hidrogen dalam kandang.
During the combustion synthesis process, engineers mixed boron with metal nitrates and organic fuels, such as urea, in a box furnace at temperatures below 400 degrees Celsius. The nitrates and organic fuels ignite, generating heat that then drives the reaction without the need for an external source of power. 
Selama proses sintesis pembakaran, insinyur campuran boron dengan logam nitrat dan bahan bakar organik, seperti urea, dalam tungku kotak pada suhu di bawah 400 derajat Celcius. Nitrat dan bahan bakar organik terbakar, menghasilkan panas yang kemudian mendorong reaksi tanpa membutuhkan sumber tenaga dari luar.
