Incorrect Place Names and SE Asia
From Thai Blogs, 42 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Bombay recently changed its name to Mumbai, so did Bangalore to Bengaluru, and cricket commentators fell over themselves to use the new names as quickly as possible.

So here's my question, why doesn’t this world recognition of correct naming apply to South East Asia. Most people still seem to refer to Myanmar as Burma. Ho...

A Simple Solution To Avoid Having To Repeat Yourself
From Tales Over Coffee, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
My mother's apartment building has a security desk at the door, which is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, rain or shine, etc., etc. Since there's always a guard sitting there, rather than taking the time to check their mail by finding their key and opening the box, people constantly asked if the mailman had come by yet. This building houses (rough guess) at least 300 people. Now imagine if, say, 50 of those people asked you every day if the mailman had come by yet. ...

From ASA Group to provide VIP service, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
While it may be some time before we see electric propulsion used in commercial airliners, at the other end of the scale, business is booming. The biggest problem facing designers is the weight-to-energy ratio of fuel cells, meaning that they are a heavy way of carrying around energy. Luckily in the light aviation world, designers don't have to worry so much about having long flight durations or carrying heavy payloads. This has made achieving electric and hybrid flight not only possible...
