Man built a swimming pool in the shape of a pirate ship for his children, but the neighbors forced it to be demolished It took Toronto resident John Konstantinidis eight weeks to build a swimming pool on the property of his suburban home. The man wanted his children to have more fun during the lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. However, an unusual object in the form of a pirate ship had to be demolished after complaints from neighbors. Just a week after the completion of the work, Konstantinides was approached by representatives of local authorities with an order to dismantle the facility. As it turned out, they received an appeal from one of the man's neighbors, according to whom, the pool was built too close to the border of the site and the fence standing there. The municipality agreed with the complaint, pointing out to Konstantinidis that the construction of pools requires a special permit. In addition, for an object of this size, it is also necessary to draw up a special document regulating building codes and regulations. According to the father, the news of the demolition of the pirate ship was extremely upsetting for his two children. He was outraged by the attitude of the neighbors and claims that they could first express their grievances in a personal conversation. Nevertheless, the man dismantled the pool, received all the necessary documentation and built it again in accordance with all the requirements of the authorities. So in the end the story ended well.- Flight of an object launched at 1,600 km/h by the SpinLaunch centrifuge. The objective is to send payloads (like small satellites) into orbit at a lower cost by using the effect of slingshot.

- 22 hearing filters removed from a patient’s ear This foreign object removal procedure is performed by UK pioneer and world leading endoscopic ear wax removal specialist Mr Neel Raithatha (Consultant Audiologist) aka 'The Wax Whisperer’ at his clinic in Oadby, Leicester, UK. The foreign object removal procedure in this video, which were hearing aid wax filters that kept falling off the hearing aid into the ear canal, utilities the iCLEARscope®, Zoellner suction probe and Crocodile forceps. The client was referred to ENT on the NHS but the waiting time for a minimum 3 months. For obvious reasons the client wanted to have the hearing aid wax filters removed as soon as possible and was referred to myself from another Audiologist.
- First Interstellar Asteroid Wows Scientists Scientists were surprised and delighted to detect --for the first time-- an interstellar asteroid passing through our solar system. Additional observations brought more surprises: the object is cigar-shaped with a somewhat reddish hue. The asteroid, named ‘Oumuamua by its discoverers, is up to one-quarter mile (400 meters) long and highly-elongated—perhaps 10 times as long as it is wide. That is unlike any asteroid or comet observed in our solar system to date, and may provide new clues into how other solar systems formed.

- Nuclear Reactor Pulse and Startup Compilation The blue light is known as Cherenkov radiation. It is similar to a sonic boom, but instead of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound, a charged particle is travelling faster than the speed of light in a medium. In this case, the speed of light in water is roughly 75% the speed of light in a vacuum. It tests the time-dependent properties of the fuel. Engineers use that data to predict what would happen if there were an accident at a large reactor Cherenkov radiation, also known as Vavilov–Cherenkov radiation,[a] is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. The characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor is due to Cherenkov radiation.
Essentially when light passes through different materials its speed can be slowed as the photon makes it way through the medium.
- Drone Funny Footage Fail During a stay at the Castle of St Julien near Poitiers at Easter (end of March 2017), a woman wanted to make a grimace by pulling a tongue to a drone that filmed it. But deconcentrated by the flying object, she retreated, forgetting the basin of the fountain behind her. The poor fell dressed in the cold water of the basin. A young man immediately flew to his rescue.
- Crazyswarm: a large nano-quadcopter swarm Crazyswarm is a swarm of 49 Crazyflie 2.0 nano-quadcopters operating in a new experimental robotics building at USC. We localize the quadcopters with a Vicon motion-capture system and a custom object tracker that supports identical marker arrangements. Three shared radios broadcast position updates at 100Hz and send high-level trajectory commands to each vehicle. Vicon-IMU sensor fusion, trajectory evaluation, and position control are all performed onboard at 500Hz. The rotating pyramid demo is built from ellipse commands. The USC letters demo is built from point-to-point commands with each vehicle planning fifth-order polynomial trajectories onboard. A Python scripting layer controls the overall sequence of events. A forthcoming publication from our group will describe the components of this system, the platform constraints, tradeoffs, and the associated design decisions in detail.
- NVIDIA AI Car Demonstration In contrast to the usual approach to operating self-driving cars, we did not program any explicit object detection, mapping, path planning or control components into this car. Instead, the car learns on its own to create all necessary internal representations necessary to steer, simply by observing human drivers. The car successfully navigates the construction site while freeing us from creating specialized detectors for cones or other objects present at the site. Similarly, the car can drive on the road that is overgrown with grass and bushes without the need to create a vegetation detection system. All it takes is about twenty example runs driven by humans at different times of the day. Learning to drive in these complex environments demonstrates new capabilities of deep neural networks. The car also learns to generalize its driving behavior. This video includes a clip that shows a car that was trained only on California roads successfully driving itself in New Jersey .
- The Biggest Shiplift in The World This ship lift is on the Krasnoyarsk HPP. This is a huge bath on the rails, it first calls in on one side of the dam below the water level, is filled with water, and inside swims ship, the gateway is closed and the ship lift rises to the top, where there is a 180-degree turn and descend on the other side of the dam, where the gateway is opened and the ship floats out. Weight without water of 4000 tons of water and the vessel of 8000 tons, the velocity of 1.2 km / h. Officially, it is working since 1982. The video is shipping units for the power plant, which is located upstream of the Yenisei.
- Cute robot from Disney We present a new type of hydrostatic transmission that uses a hybrid air-water configuration, analogous to N+1 cable-tendon transmissions, using N hydraulic lines and 1 pneumatic line for a system with N degrees of freedom (DOFs). The common air-filled line preloads all DOFs in the system, allowing bidirectional operation of every joint. This configuration achieves the high stiffness of a water-filled transmission with half the number of bulky hydraulic lines. We implemented this transmission using pairs of rolling-diaphragm cylinders to form rotary hydraulic actuators, with a new design achieving a 600-percent increase in specific work density per cycle. These actuators were used to build a humanoid robot with two 4-DOF arms, connected via the hydrostatic transmission to an identical master. Stereo cameras mounted on a 2-DOF servo-controlled neck stream live video to the operator’s head-mounted display, which in turn sends the real-time attitude of the operator’s head to the neck servos in the robot. The operator is visually immersed in the robot’s physical workspace, and through the bilateral coupling of the low-impedance hydrostatic transmission, directly feels interaction forces between the robot and external environment. We qualitatively assessed the performance of this system for remote object manipulation and use as a platform to safely study physical human-robot interaction.
- Sketchpad – CAD program in 1963 with a graphical user interface This video is a TV show made about the software Ivan Sutherland developed in his 1963 thesis at MIT's Lincoln Labs, "Sketchpad, A Man-Machine Graphical Communication System", described as one of the most influential computer programs ever written. This work was seminal in Human-Computer Interaction, Graphics and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), Computer Aided Design (CAD), and contraint/object-oriented programming. While watching this video, remember that the TX-2 computer (built circa 1958) on which the software ran was built from discrete transistors (not integrated circuits -it was room-sized) and contained just 64K of 36-bit words (~272k bytes).

- Jupiter Impact March 17th 2016 the planet at about 3 o'clock. This video shows an apparent impact on Jupiter. If you look to the right side of the planet you will notice a brief bright flash. This is suspected to be a comet or asteroid measuring in the tens of meters across. Even such a small object causes a huge energy release when it impacts Jupiter's cloud tops, enough to be seen by amateur telescopes here on Earth.
