Car Manufacturing Technologies by Andrew Milewski
Andrew Milewski
Important Technologies Car manufacturers are Pioneering
Movies were the one and only place where fantasies could
thrive. We used to see flying cars, self driving cars, cars which dodge head-on
collisions and so on. However that was the past. With innovations and progress
in modern technologies, these fantasies may actually turn into realities.
Car manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to improve
upon their cars, in all aspects. Research has been undertaken in different
fields but not without success. Read on below to learn of some technologies
which will quite soon become a part of the norm rather than exception.
First off comes the need for innovation. Taking an economic
point of view, there is an acute scarcity of resources. This can be seen in the
form of soaring prices in an effort to curb consumption altogether. Herein lay
the needs for alternate fuels. Electric cars have helped to make the shift from
fossil fuels altogether. Electric cars are similar to hybrid (Toyata Prius,
etc) cars but the difference is that they run purely on electricity with no combustion
engine at all. Zero emissions and easy electrical ‘wall socket’ style charging
come standard with these vehicles.
Safety is essential. Automakers have explored several
avenues in this aspect. Their efforts have not been in vain. Take the concept
of ‘collision avoidance’ technology. Your car, equipped with sensors and
computers operating in real time, will automatically stop just short of a
possible accident. The technology is in its infancy but the applications for
this are boundless. Many production cars already do come equipped with
different versions of this feature; depending from manufacturer to
manufacturer.
Reworking the formula which determines which materials will
be used on a vehicle’s body can also bring drastically varied results. Carbon
fibre is a lightweight yet strong material seeing use not only in high
performance applications but also as an enhancement for safety features. CFRP (or
reinforced carbon fibre) will render a car lighter than standard versions as
well as safer, since less weight can reduce damage dealt during impact.
Smart alert technologies are also emerging. These include
breath analysers which check intoxication levels, road detectors which ‘sense’
and alert when a car is deviating from its driving lane and so on. Although
currently too expensive to use for mass production; one can expect toned down
versions to surface on the market soon.
These technologies define the modern car for the coming
generations. Combining these different technologies together can indeed provide
a potent mix for what may be a much smarter and safer car.

Officiating the Game
Officiating the Game
Introduction
Hello, my name is Andrew Milewski and im a Teacher. I enjoy writing blogs about random things and decided that this would be a perfect website to move my current work too!
As humans are social animals it
is almost impossible to avoid violence or breaking of rules and laws. That is
why some people are chosen as rule enforcers like the police, that is why law
enforcers are needed in all daily activities. In sports, these law enforcers
are the referees and his assisting officials etc. In essence, there is a main
referee and two other assistants that are present and active during the game;
these are the linesmen. The last official also called the fourth official helps
to control other things that can act as a means of disturbance to the players
on the field, for example the spectators, or an angry coaches. The fourth
official is also responsible for regulation addition time, substitution. The
following are some duties of a referee;
- ü He or she enforces match rules
- ü The referee controls the game of football with the help of the assistant referees and the fourth official
- ü He inspects the field and the technologies put in place to aid the judgment and officiating of the game for instance is a necessity that the referee inspects the ball to be used for the planed match.
- ü A referee is required to be the time keeper and record keeper of the match, it is within the duties of a referee to suspend or stop the match if anything goes out of ordinary. For example, the referee can stop the match if any player is critically injured, he or she should ensure that any player bleeding from an injury or any player who cannot continue the game due to one form of injury or the other is taking out of the field.
The referee has been given the
power to make some decisions asides his normal duties on the field, such
decisions include; the referee is expected to decide whether the field of play
or the weather for conducive for the match, the referee also makes decisions
such as whether to stop the match due to interference from the spectators or if
the match should be stopped to allow an injured player to exit the field. The
referee can also decide whether to allow or not to allow a player to wear
certain gear during the match. The referee’s decision is often final and
binding during and after the match, for instance, if a referee calls a goal it
remains a goal even if replays show that it was not actually a goal.
