Big Dog Mk I - Horse Of Steel Runs Across Fields (Apr, 1933)

A MECHANICAL horse that trots and gallops on steel-pipe legs, under the impulse of a gasoline engine, is the recent product of an Italian inventor. With this horse, he declares, children may be trained to ride. The iron Dobbin is said to canter along a road or across a rough field with equal ease. Its design recalls the attempts of inventors, before the days of the automobile, to imitate nature and produce a mechanical steed capable of drawing a wagon.

Shark Octopus Undersea Battle Filmed (Jul, 1933)
A most remarkable battle between a shark and an octopus has been photographed by a daring cameraman for the film, “Samarang”(Out of the Deep). With his camera and equipment inside a diving bell, open at the bottom, the internal air pressure being sufficient to keep the water out at shallow depths, he placed a piece of meat in the water to attract the shark, the octopus already being in the vicinity. The battle which ensued between shark and octopus lasted twenty minutes, but it was quite one-sided. The shark swung into attack from below, as shown in one of the pictures, getting a death grip which is never relinquished until the helpless victim succumbs. The shark was of the tiger variety. The battle was staged in comparatively shallow water to allow of sufficient light for recording the extraordinary scenes. The battle winds up with the shark dining off one of the tentacles of his foe.

Music Technology Now and in the Future David M Howard Any arbitrary sound can be created using technology and of course, electronically created sounds can be used to make music. "Connecting" the player, composer or user into the sound creation system involves the provision of an interface with which a musician can make music in a performance situation. This lecture will consider the needs of the musician in terms of both sound creation, sound modification and sound real-time control and it will illustrate this with interfaces from the past and present as well as some that might well be seen in the future. 2010-05-11 00:00:00.0 News Channel >> go to webcast>> recommend to friend

I sort of agree with some of this ... but I don't like the agruments about genetically modifed foods. I'm not convicent about the long-term implications.. and the suggestion that it should be given to poor 3rd World countries, to me, sounds like "Yeah, why don't we test it on the poor people"! - Reminds me of the Powdered milk arguments of 20 years ago

OK, perhaps I'm scare-mongering a bit... but I am concerned.
Like too many other UK laws created in recent years, this one, if passed, could allow for a Chinese-style clamp-down of Government critics if "the-wrong" Government ever gets in... which, given recent MP antics and voting predictions might not be that far-fetched...

Please help me find a US (Washington DC) phone number

Hello.

I've received several wrongly addressed parcels/letters from someone in Washington DC. Today I got one with the sender's name and address.So, I have all their (postal) details, but I suspect they've just left a digit off of the house number.

What I'd like to do is call them up and get the right details, and re-deliver the post.

I've tried all the Directory  websites I can think of, but so far I've drawn a blank (one had a number, but I had to pay $19.95 to access it... I don't think so!). So I wondered, can someone (in the US) help me find their phone number? - If you think you can help me, PM me for the senders details.
