Constitucion railway station in Buenos Aires during massive energy blackout in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay on June 16, 2019 gasket Getty Buenos Aires, Argentina — As lights turned back on across Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay after a massive blackout that hit tens of millions of people, authorities were still largely in the dark about what caused the collapse of the interconnected grid and were tallying the damage from the unforeseen disaster. Argentine President Mauricio Macri promised a thorough investigation into what he called an "unprecedented" outage, one that raised questions about flaws in South America's grid, which connects many of the region's largest countries. Energy officials said the results of the investigation would be available in 10 to 15 days, and they could not immediately provide details on the economic impact of the outage, which came on a Su...

G-Technology is a relatively new and unknown name in the storage industry, though it's beenaround for a while in international markets. It had its beginnings as a specialised storage vendor targeting creative professionals, particularly those who use Apple's Mac ecosystem.

Never let it be said that county drivers aren't prepared for any emergency. If our cars break down in the middle of nowhere, we need only reach under the seat or into the glove compartment or trunk and pull out those handy flower seeds, baseball cards, short-story outlines, wilted vegetables, losing lottery tickets and peacock feathers. Those are just a few of the odd items Life on Wheels readers confessed to carrying in their cars, in addition to such mundane provisions as flares and flashlights, rubber tire gauges and tie-down ropes. Jennie of Anaheim found the following assortment of items during her auto inventory: 2 bath towels, 4 bed sheets, a pink thermal blanket, a gold bedspread, 1 large hook rug ("uncompleted after 10 years"), 1 stuffed toy cat, 1 insurance card, 1 ice chest (empty), 1 gold plastic heart-shaped Christmas ornament, 3 large brown paper bags, 30 baseball cards, 1 paper towel, 6 tissues, 1 hair clip, 1 gallon antifreeze, 1 drinking glass, 6 sta...

Testimony in Amanda Knox's murder trial today challenged prosecution arguments that bloody footprints at the crime scene belonged to Knox's co-defendant and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.Knox and Sollecito claim they are innocent of the crime and that they were together in Sollecito's apartment on the night that Knox's English roommate, Meredith Kercher, was killed. The prosecution's argument that the bloody footprints belongs to Sollecito threatens their defense by placing him at the murder scene. Knox, 22, a Seattle student who was studying in Perugia, is accused, along with Sollecito, 25, of murdering Kercher, with whom she shared a cottage in this picturesque Italian hilltown. Kercher, 21, was found semi-naked with her throat slashed on Nov. 2, 2007.A third person, Rudy Guede, 22, was convicted in October 2008 and sentenced to 30 years in prison for his role in the murder. He admits to being at the scene of the crime, but says he did not kill Kercher, and ha...

This Instructable was one of the winners of 2016 AUTOMATION Contest. Thanks a lot for all votes! ;-)This is a second part of my previous Intructable: IoT - Controlling a Raspberry Pi Robot over internet with HTML and shell scripts only. There you learn how to control DC motors over the internet. Here we will learn how to streaming video using a PiCam and also remote controlling its position (Pan/Tilt), using servo motors. Controlling a camera over the internet can have several utilities, including for security use. As a particular example, we will install the camera phone and servos at the robot developed on the first part of the project. The video bellow will give you an idea about how the final project looks like:The block diagram shows the idea of the project. The RPi will be set as a WebServer and will receive commands from an HTML page. Those commands will control the GPIOs, making the RPi position the PiCam via the servo motors (Pan/Horizontal and Tilt/Vertical position). We w...

My aim was to create a battery operated drip system, that could easily be installed anywhere in the garden.Once a day, for a preset number of minutes, the unit waters the plants via a little 9V operated pump that is submersed in a 20 Liter bucket.See the picture of the end result above: the unit is screwed onto a little wooden plate, and connected to the garden fence. The bucket is situated next to it, and two little wires pack lead towards the submersed pump. The pump will then supply the water to a tiny hose with some dripper heads.Extremely low power consumptionI found a link to a site that describes how to use the Atmel chip that is present in an Arduino Uno in a standalone fashion, with a library that allows for extremely low power consumption. This helped realise a design that is extremely low in power consumption. The batteries will last for a few years.RequirementsSetting the number of minutesThe yellow led on the left flashes will flash after every 15 seconds. Then it will ...
