Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "ADVENTURE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP"?
We really do mean adventure. Surfboards, big waves, early morning lake dives, treks to awe-inspiring mountain tops, and towering evergreens are just a few of the perks. One of our core principles as an organization is that there is inherent truth and beauty in the earth and that much of our hunger for adventure is really about discovering more of it. We believe that as instructors we're here to set focus, guide direction, and bring people into a context in which real and lasting learning happens. We've found that by venturing out to the wild places, or even just experiencing the edge of wild places, a deep and often untapped part of our consciousness opens and gains access to new levels of information and creativity. As artists, we spend a lot of time strengthening and cohabiting the highly creative parts of our brains. Connecting to a source of grounding and allowing one's mind to calm can make the difference between a good artist and a truly great one. Seeking adventure and edge experiences in natural settings has proven to be a most powerful tool for us to achieve grounding and calm and to reach deeper into our art form.
Q. Where is the workshop held?
The workshop is held in any number of Earths characteristically breathtaking wilderness accesses or National Park areas all over the world. Alpine Northwest provides comfortable lodging and accommodations so our guests can focus on the content and the learning. We select accommodations with close proximity to pristine wilderness areas, glacial-carved lakes with brilliant clear blue waters, full rushing rivers, and snow capped mountain peaks. Our accommodations are generally within 1-3 hours of the wilderness and landmark locations we intend to shoot.
At Alpine Northwest, we specialize in providing professional organic cuisine with a menu inspired by our Northwest traditional roots. We source our proteins and vegetables locally and source as much of our grain as locally as we can. We aren't a 100% Organic organization but source everything Organically that is feasible while keeping food costs reasonable. Simply put, you'll be getting top quality food.
Q. What stuff is provided? What do I need to bring?
One point we can't stress enough, EACH WORKSHOP IS GEAR SPECIFIC and once you sign up you'll be provided a suggested gear list in ample time prior to travel. Generally though, once you arrive at our base-camp, we provide all of the food, drinks, and snacks you'll need. It's highly necessary to bring a sleeping bag or blanket of choice as well as a pillow (we suggest picking up a blow-up camping pillow as they can be comfortable and pack very small!) For summer workshops day temperatures stay pretty comfortable, but the temperature can still drop into the 40's at night, so prepare for adequate sleep with adequate sleeping things. During Spring and Fall workshops, it's almost always chilly, so make sure to pack really warm and comfy things! We'll have some extra blankets on hand for those who've under-estimated, but they aren't endless.
Q. What Experience Level is required to attend?
This workshop will be ideal for photographers who have at least one year of experience running their own business, although we are confident the atmosphere will provide invaluable information and experience for anyone who chooses to attend! As for outdoor activities go, our guides are comfortable working with all experience levels. You do not need to have any previous experience with yoga, ropes, or even hiking to participate in our activities.
Q. when are the workshop start and stop times?
Our regular weekday workshops(non-destinations) start at 5:00pm on Mondays and end at 10:am on Fridays. THIS CAN CHANGE. Every workshop is unique, so be sure to check the product description prior to purchase, or the student letter you receive in the months prior to the workshop! The day/number of the month for your specific workshop of course depends on which workshop you're attending. Regardless, you'll be receiving detailed location and time information for the workshop in the student's section once you register.
Whether you're flying nationally or internationally, we'll provide our suggestion on which airport you should fly into. Additionally, we always provide detailed information regarding our suggested route to arrive at each workshops specific camp location.
Q. How do I get to and from the workshop? Trains/cars/segways? or what?
Shuttle availability is very unlikely to and from our workshops because our camp locations are almost always rural and remote. We highly suggest renting a vehicle in order to: 1) Give yourself the freedom of time and mobility to ensure your timely arrival at camp. 2) Ensure that you can travel in-between our camp location and our shooting locations. 3) Ensure your timely departure from camp and arrival back at the airport for your flight home! We will generally set up a ride-sharing post on our private facebook group to help support our students figure out a way for multiple students to share the costs and logistics of renting cars for the workshop! It should be noted though that we simply have no capacity to ensure or fully adjudicate rides to and from our camp and our shooting locations for students due to the immense scope of the logistics of 25-75 people's travel plans. However, we'll certainly do what we can to help! FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS WORKSHOPS, we will very likely suggest that you use public transit, trains, trolleys, etc. It depends on the country and how good their public transit is vs. a rental car. Either way, you'll be provided either by e-mail or in the student section with a detailed instruction on the location of the workshop and potential strategies for getting there.
If you've elected to pay half of your registration fee as a down payment, you'll need to complete your final registration payment by no later than 30 days prior to the first day of your workshop! If you fail to do so, your spot and your down payment amount will be forfeit. Once you register you'll be given access to a simple student section which has a payment portal for submitting additional tuition payments. You can either choose to pay off the remaining balance all at once or pay in smaller portions over time, as long as your total tuition balance is received by no later than 30 days prior to the first day of your workshop!
Q. What if my plans change?
Q. What will be taught? What will instructors send me home with?
Every Alpine is different. At the same time, there are very consistent threads of content (and quality) that flow through all of our workshops. You'll want to read the descriptions of the workshops you're interested in to more fully ascertain what content will be taught at each workshop. Also, while most instructors do choose to teach with slide-shows, props, and info-graphics, we leave it up to them what they give each student to go home with. Each instructor brings a different talent, a different set of tools, a different approach. We provide the context for students and other Industry professionals to meet and to share all of it, but we don't guarantee the handing out of any specific curriculum, action sets, existing teaching content, pamphlets, or booklets. Rest assured, if you show up eager to learn, maintain your presence while you're with us, and take all the notes, you'll leave full. Very full.
Q. What if i'm an introvert and hate dance parties…?
If you're coming to Moab, you can hang out with Abbi and her dog Charlie around the fire ;) If you're headed to Iceland with us, Jordan's always down to chat tax law….Honestly though, this workshop is inclusive and you don't have to be a certain personality type to "fit in." We work super hard to build an atmosphere that feels comfortable and enjoyable for everyone, while still having opportunities to push your own limits and try new things.
Have more questions? We'd love to know what you want to know!
Thank you! Keep questioning everything. After all, a truly good question should really just provide you with a greater amount of more complex questions.


We can apply our innovation, expertise, and equipment to meet your testing needs for projects, or to develop new tests in support of your changing business requirements.
From time to time our clients find that they are faced with an unusual problem, which is not easily serviced from existing tests available from Analytica, or other testing laboratories in New Zealand. Our team of skilled and experienced staff are well positioned to come up with testing solutions to solve these one-off problems, and enjoy the challenge of doing so.
If it's not something we can help with, we will certainly be happy to suggest some options of who might.
If a new test is needed, there can be a significant amount of work involved in researching the best way of doing it, and getting it set up in the laboratory. Analytica is set up as a high throughput testing laboratory, and is best positioned to develop new tests for projects involving larger batches of samples (either as a one-off project or for an ongoing requirement).
If there are only a few samples to be tested, it is usually very difficult to find a solution which will be cost effective for a customer. In these situations we can provide names of consulting laboratories that have the potential to assist with this kind of work.
Once developed, tests can be submitted for accreditation by IANZ under the international ISO 17025 standard. If new tests are to be used in an ongoing way, and accreditation is an important feature of the testing for the customer, then arrangements can be made to submit the testing methods for accreditation. Usually this requires 6-12 months of lead time, and will incur cost in both preparation at the laboratory as well as audit fees.
Analytica is happy to discuss accreditation requirements with clients.
Due to the very specific nature of new tests and one-off projects, a case-by-case approach to quoting for this work is taken.

This company was founded by a guy who has been designing games since he was about 5 years old, who ahd always dreamed of owning a videogame company that makes great games. That first game designed was called "Piano Player", for the Game and Watch system.
Since then, after many adventures, That Guy teamed with his dad and brother to found that great videogame company. Dad picked the title, saying, quote, "You've been having this dream since you were a boy...uh, 'Dream Boy', 'Boy Dream'..". The company mascot is named "Borges", after Mom's favorite author, and doesn't look much different from the characters That Guy would create in BASIC in the mid-80's on his beloved Apple IIe.

Filson bags were everywhere in 2014 (and still are to some extent). The mix of fantastic quality, heritage, rugged-outdoorsy but sophisticated image, and constant recommendations on just about every menstyle blog meant their popularity just exploded. Like virtually every other guy I lusted after an original briefcase but I already had a slim messenger bag and it was hopelessly impractical for me because I couldn't fit my laptop AND my lunch into it. So I broadened my search and ended up looking at Filson's 72-hour briefcase. It is bigger than the original briefcase and has big front zip pockets and pouches behind the zip pockets. Hardly anyone seems to stock the 72-hour version anymore but the 24 and 48 hour briefcases look similar.
At the time I had the choice of tin-cloth or lightweight nylon for the material. The romantic in me wanted the tin cloth but ultimately practicality won and I chose the nylon in otter green. It really is a lot lighter and ultimately more useful for me on a day to day basis. I still want the tin cloth but given the choice again I'd probably still go for the nylon. Because of this, the bag really hasn't patinated very much and you can see from the pictures that it still looks very new.
The bridle leather handles have broken in nicely and are now very floppy and nice to use. I use the handles most of the time, especially if I am wearing a sportscoat (and you should too! Using a shoulder strap ruins your shoulder padding). My only gripe is the standard shoulder strap is a cheapo nylon strap instead of the bridle leather strap that they used to come with. The nylon is actually wider than the leather and quite comfy when I do use it and since I don't use it much it's not a deal breaker. If you really want the leather strap you can get it separately.
I bought my bag from Huckberry but you can also find Filson bags on Amazon, END clothing, Nordstrom, East Dane. I love the casual style of the bag and it pairs well with casual outerwear up to odd jackets and tie. You can find similar styles from Rancourt, LL Bean, Nigel Cabourn, Ralph Lauren, and a million other brands. But I love my Filson, and at this rate it will be with me for quite some time yet.


As we loved our visit to the Great Cloister of Santa Maria Novella a few months ago (you can read more about it here), I write today to let you know that the special openings for the cloister continue in 2014! Not normally open to the public (as it is a school for the Carabinieri), so take advantage if you're in the area or visiting Santa Maria Novella on one of these dates. Just make a mental note to continue on and visit this beautiful cloister whose four loggias are completely and beautifully frescoed.


The need of monitoring submerged structures in marine environments has been prompting the development of reliable underwater communications.
AURA is an innovative technology for operating an underwater antenna in order to improve wireless communications, especially in dynamic environments. Using a patented, automatic and frequency-tuneable technology, AURA is able to adjust its directional radiation pattern to optimise the radio signal coupling with other devices such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) or underwater sensors.
Underwater wireless communications are currently based in acoustic, optical or radio frequency (RF) technologies. While acoustic systems have poor performance in shallow water, optical systems are very susceptible to turbidity and fouling particles, and they require line-of-sight and thus precise alignment.
RF systems have several advantages over acoustic and optical systems such as turbidity and acoustic noise immunity, non-line-of-sight operations, and high bandwidths (up to 100 Mbit/s) at a very close range. However, the radiation pattern of RF systems may be highly affected by the environmental conditions, namely salinity, thus jeopardising communications and data rate.
Developed at INESC TEC, AURA tackles this limitation of the RF systems by automatically adjusting the resonant frequency of the antenna, considering surrounding salinity and the position of the receiver device.
Improved operational flexibility in both fresh and seawater.

O Intelsat 605 (IS-605), anteriormente denominado de Intelsat VI F-5, foi um satélite de comunicação geoestacionário construído pela Hughes Aircraft. Ele esteve localizado na posição orbital de 174 graus de longitude leste e era de propriedade da Intelsat, empresa sediada atualmente em Luxemburgo. O mesmo foi desativado em janeiro de 2009 e foi enviado para uma órbita cemitério.

História
O Intelsat 605 foi o quarto de cinco satélites da Intelsat VI a ser lançado. A série Intelsat VI foi construído pela Hughes Aircraft, baseado em torno do modelo HS-389.

O Intelsat 605 foi inicialmente operado em uma órbita geoestacionária com um perigeu de 35.756 quilômetros (22.218 milhas), um apogeu de 35,818 km (22,256 milhas) e 0 graus de inclinação.

Até o final de 1991, o Intelsat 605 foi operado em uma longitude de 21,5 graus oeste. Em julho de 1992, ele foi colocado em 24,5 graus oeste, onde funcionou até novembro de 1997. Posteriormente, foi movido para 27,5 graus oeste em dezembro de 1997 a março de 2003; depois esteve em 32,9 graus leste de abril de 2003 a outubro de 2004, em 77 graus oeste de dezembro de 2004 a janeiro de 2005, e em 174 graus leste de abril de 2005 a janeiro de 2009. Ele foi colocado em uma órbita cemitério e desativado em janeiro de 2009.

Lançamento
O satélite foi lançado com sucesso ao espaço no dia 14 de agosto de 1991, às 23:15:13 UTC, por meio de um veículo Ariane 44L V45 a partir do Centro Espacial de Kourou, na Guiana Francesa. Ele tinha uma massa de lançamento de 4.296 kg.

Capacidade
O Intelsat 605 era equipado com 38 transponders em banda C e 10 em banda Ku.

Nice looking shirt that's more tailored looking than most Columbia shirts. Very light, very comfortable, breathes well, quick drying.
This is a great shirt. The polyester material is thin and very lightweight with a subtle textured weave that adds an air of sophistication. This is definitely on the dressier end of the spectrum for Columbia's shirts.
Due to the light weight of the material and the nicely tailored look, I'd recommend this one more for office or casual wear but not demanding sporting pursuits - I'd personally want something sturdier for hiking and such and this just looks too nice for fishing attire.
This one scores big as a handsome, masculine casual wear shirt that's really comfortable and keeps its cool.

Kings mount late rally to dispatch Pistons
De'Aaron Fox put up a game-high 33 points, Kevin Huerter contributed a pair of 3-pointers to a late rally and the Sacramento Kings won their sixth straight game Sunday afternoon, outlasting the visiting Detroit Pistons 137-129.
Huerter finished with 24 points and Harrison Barnes 27 for the Kings, who completed a four-game sweep at home against Golden State, Brooklyn, San Antonio and Detroit.
Rookie Jaden Ivey had 24 points to pace the Pistons, who lost their seventh straight, including their third in a row to begin a six-game Western swing.
The tightly contested game saw the Pistons go up 117-110 on a Cory Joseph 3-pointer with 8:15 to go and retain a 124-119 advantage after two Marvin Bagley III free throws at the 5:27 mark before the Kings took charge.
First, Huerter followed a Fox dunk with a 3-pointer to draw the Kings even for the first time in the fourth quarter at 124-all with 3:23 to go.
Then, after Ivey sandwiched a Barnes dunk with a free throw and short-range hoop to put the visitors back on top by one, Huerter buried two- and 3-point hoops and Fox added a 18-footer in a 7-0 burst that opened a six-point lead in the final minute.
Fox and Barnes swished a pair of game-clinching free throws after that, capping Sacramento's third consecutive game with at least 130 points.
Fox complemented his 33 points with a game-high-tying seven assists for Sacramento, while Domantas Sabonis matched that assist total while recording a 15-point, 13-rebound double-double.
Keegan Murray was the fifth King in double figures with 13 points on a night when the hosts shot 55.3 percent from the field and enjoyed a 31-20 advantage in points at the free-throw line.
Ivey's 24 points were two off his season high, which he set last week against Boston. He made eight of his 14 shots, helping the Pistons nearly keep pace with the Kings with 52.8-percent shooting.
Six other Pistons scored in double figures, with Bojan Bogdanovic going for 21 points, Alec Burks 16, Bagley 15, Jalen Duren 12 with a team-high eight rebounds, Joseph 12 and Kevin Knox II 11. Killian Hayes chipped in with a team-high six assists to complement nine points.

A: TL;DR:
I've made some tests, your docker image and deployment seems really fine ,I was able to log into the pod, it was running and listening on the port.

*

*The reason why your readiness probe was returning Warning Unhealthy...: connection refused was because it was not given enough time for the pod to start.
I edited your deployment with the following lines:
          readinessProbe:
            tcpSocket:
              port: 5000
            initialDelaySeconds: 300
            periodSeconds: 30

Explanation:

*

*From Configuring Probes Documentation:

initialDelaySeconds: Number of seconds after the container has started before liveness or readiness probes are initiated. Defaults to 0 seconds. Minimum value is 0.
periodSeconds: How often (in seconds) to perform the probe. Default to 10s. Minimum value is 1s.

NOTE: During my tests I noticed that the pod takes about 5 minutes to be running, way longer than the default 10s, that's why I set it as 300 seconds.
Meaning that after 5 minutes the pod was serving on port 5000.
Add the initialDelaySeconds line to your deployment and you should be fine.

Here is my Reproduction:

*

As you can see now there is no error.
Let me know in the comments if you have any doubt.

A: In my case this happened because I've configured the backend application host as localhost. The issue is resolved when I changed the host value to 0.0.0.0
Use the latest built docker image after making this change.

A: I checked with the docker instructions, and it did run, but somehow the app was not getting deployed correctly. To check with docker it is straight forward because they are using host network, so from you host you can do netstat, and you will see that there is nothing listening on port 5000.
I accessed the container and ran the init script (keystone-v3.sh) again, and it started to work. I did the same on kubernetes Deployment, and it worked too.
So, this is your functional Deployment:

Huffington Post launches in Japan
The Huffington Post has launched in Japan after announcing plans for a new site in Germany last week.
The site, founded in the United States by Arianna Huffington, is also active in the UK, where it launched in 2011, as well as Canada, France, Spain and Italy.
Huffington said in a blog post: "The launch of Huffington Post Japan represents the fulfillment of our goal of inviting ever more voices from around the world to join our growing global conversation.
"And it's living proof – since Huffington Post Japan is 'live' as of today – of the way 21st century media have transcended once-formidable barriers of geography, language, and culture."
She also said the Japan site is expected to be read by a lot more mobile users than in any other country, quoting HuffPo CEO Jimmy Maymann as saying: "In most markets, around 20-25 percent of our audience is coming from mobile, but in Japan that will be so different. Mobile Internet in Japan is 'internet."
The Japan website is being run by HuffPo in association with The Asahi Shimbun newspaper.
Japan's editor-in-chief Shigeki Matsuura said: "The Huffington Post Japan hopes to be the place where we have an honest conversation about the future of Japan, and our editors will work to bring your voices and ideas onto our pages to achieve this."
Last Monday it was announced that HuffPo is to launch in Germany in partnership with digital media company Tomorrow Focus.

Jiko Pizza – Kenyan BBQ Party!
My brother and sister-in-law celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary over the weekend by hosting a BBQ at their home. Not just any BBQ though – this was a Pizza BBQ with a Kenyan twist….and it was oh so yummy!
I had never heard of a Kenyan Pizza BBQ before and was super excited to try something unique and far removed from the overdone burgers and sausages!
The pizzas are baked in a traditional Kenyan charcoal oven known as 'Jiko' in Swahili. Jikos come in various sizes and are an energy saving, eco-friendly way to bake cakes, breads, pizzas and what not?

Animal advocacy
Biodiversity Strategy to 2030
DG Health and Food Safety
EU Action Plan Against Wildlife Trafficking
(-) European Commission
Farm-to-Fork
von der Leyen Commission
(-) Eurogroup for Animals
AnimalsEU
The day has finally arrived: the Farm-to-Fork and Biodiversity to 2030 strategies of the European Union's Green Deal have been adopted. Both contain positive points that suggest the Commission is ready to take action for animals – but will these strategies deliver the concrete changes the EU needs to move away from intensive farming and the exploitation of wild animals and their habitats?
Green Deal puts animal welfare back on the EU's agenda
The European Commission has announced that they will again postpone two of the key pillars of the European Green Deal - the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity strategies.
Paws for thought: Green Deal delay must be used to reassess the human-animal relationship
The European Commission insists that the transport of livestock between EU member states must continue, despite the severe problems imposed by the COVID-19 emergency.
COVID-19: Urgent action is needed to avoid animal welfare crisis during the transport of live animals
According to Politico, the European Commission is poised to establish a new animal welfare unit this March as part of a restructuring of its department on Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE).
One small step by the Commission, or one giant leap for animal welfare?

Tom Hardy To Co-Write Venom 3
Jun 16, 2022 Todd Black
Controlled chaos?
A post shared by Tom Hardy (@tomhardy)
Venom as a franchise is arguably something that shouldn't have happened, with many delays leading up to its first release years ago. With a clear divide people between people who think it's good, people who think it's bad, and people who think it's so bad that it's good, it's not a film many expected to be as successful as it was in the end. Let There Be Carnage, the sequel, didn't do as well as the first, but it did well enough to warrant the creation of Venom 3.
Venom 3 is in production, and as Tom Hardy noted in the Instagram post above, he's actually helping make the story for the third film. This isn't surprising as Hardy has helped carry this franchise overall given its very different take on Eddie Brock and Venom–especially their relationship. Plus, after the second movie, he noted that he wanted to be "involved with the process."
It's unclear what the story will be as of yet, but many fans are expecting a crossover with Spider-Man. After all, the MCU crossover that was teased at the end of the second movie turned out to be less than nothing, and Eddie went back to his "own world."
That's not to say there's no room to maneuver, but if you think about the characters most associated with Venom, it's other symbiotes like Carnage. We'll just have to see who or what shows up to fight Venom in the next film.

The Big Sick Blu-ray Review
Fred Topel September 19, 2017 1 min read
The Sundance favorite and summer indie darling The Big Sick is now on Blu-ray. Kumail Nanjiani stars in the true story of how he met his wife Emily (Zoe Kazan). The real Emily Gordon co-wrote the script with him about how her hospitalization brought them closer together.
The Blu-ray looks good. It's sharp and bright for a real world movie that's not flamboyantly visual. Even the comedy club has good lighting, and the hospital is as bland as a place that doesn't focus on decor is, but clear.
As personal as the film, in the bonus features Nanjiani discusses opening up this personal story, trying to write it and bringing Emily into the process. Emily reflects on experiencing the part she was unconscious for. Producer Judd Apatow provides the insight in cinematic embellishment, keeping it true but dramatizing single events. Together, Gordon and Nanjiani go through the subtle differences between real life and the film.
The audio commentary includes Nanjiani, Gordon, director Michael Showalter and producer Barry Mendel. It's a friendly and personal commentary. They share some things from their lives and from behind the scenes, but also give each other some guff too. They mention deleted scenes that are not included, unfortunately. Those would have been interesting to see and they seem to have expected them to be included.

The Japanese automobile major Toyota has been making a lot of news lately with the announcements of its proposed launch of new vehicles in the automobile market of India. It has also been in the news for its announcements of using more detailed innovative techniques in the manufacturing of its vehicles. Although the prime reason for this has been something completely different in addition to the heavy duty growth of the Toyota Kirloskar Motor by 49 per cent in the previous month of April this year. The immediate reason for it to come up in the news recently is its entry in the Electric Vehicle Symposium that will be held in Los Angeles on the 7th May 2012. Toyota will participate in this colloquium with its brand new Toyota RAV4 Electric Vehicle. This is the 26th year of the International Electric Vehicle Symposium that would display a major number of formidable electric vehicles but undoubtedly the Toyota RAV4 Electric Vehicle will have a special place among the hearts of the visitors.
Toyota will be addressing to a news conference on the 7th May 2012, Monday at 12am in the West Hall of the LA Convention Centre. This $100 million joint venture of the Toyota and Tesla creation, Toyota Electric SUV RAV4 will be launched officially during the event. Since Toyota is completely responsible for the RAV4 EV, the production of this electric SUV is being done at the Toyota's Ontario based plant in Canada. Tesla, on the other hand is responsible for the supply of battery, gearbox, power electronics and motor for the electric SUV RAV4 EV.
The foundation of the Toyota RAV4 Electric Vehicle is the RAV4 chassis that is built by the Toyota. It is also important to mention here that the RAV4 EV is definitely the electric version of the RAV4 SUV with only one major difference among them, which is of drivetrain. In the conventional RAV4 SUV the drivetrain was powere3d by gasoline while in the RAV4 EV SUV the drivetrain is powered by the electric drive train that has some major parts being supplied by the joint venture partner Tesla Motors.
If this electric version of the existing gasoline RAV4 SUV performs better or even equal then it will revolutionise the automobile market of SUV for sure. Although being an electric vehicle, that too an SUV model, we should expect it to be expensive in comparison to its gasoline model but non-the-less on a long run, it will be cheaper that the gasoline version for it will run on electricity. With the increasing price of conventional fuel at an international level the demand of vehicles run on unconventional fuel source has increased manifold, for they are not only low on cost but also gives close to or an absolute 'zero' emission. More details of the RAV4 EV SUV will be out in the Electric Vehicle Symposium while the official availability at the dealership is expected by July 2012.


A very well done painted and reupholstered spinet piano.
Many times, when we see a painted piano, it is very poorly executed, often ruining the beautiful wood finish. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well done the previous owner of this piano had done with the paint and reupholstering. The new knobs were also a nice touch. The current owners really lucked out that this piano matched their decor AND was still a nicely playable piano.
How do I schedule an appointment and what information do I need to provide?
What is a pitch raise or pitch correction?
Larry took the time to help me better understand what was going on with my piano. He put in the time, as it needed a little extra TLC from years of neglect. And now it sounds great! I will be calling Larry again for future tunings.
"Larry did a great job and even came back to fix an issue with the damper pedal. Can't recommend highly enough!"
"Larry tuned my piano, replaced a broken string and replaced all the rubber grommets at a very reasonable price."
"Larry was great. A professional. Quick to respond and good at his job. Very personable as well. If we ever need another piano tuner (and on short notice), I will be calling Larry!"
"Fantastic service & my piano sounded better than ever. Will be setting up a 6 month follow up for continual routine maintenance. Love the sound color & voice brought out from today's tuning! Highly recommend !"

Microsoft has today announced that they are temporarily halting Windows 10 PC Insider Preview build availability as they begin to switch their updating systems over from the old delivery method to the new Unified Update Platform.
What does this mean, exactly? Well if you're an Insider and you're not running the latest Insider Preview build, you're now going to have to wait a few more days before you can download it as Microsoft is no longer offering builds on the fast and slow ring.
UPDATE 12/2: We are getting ready to start releasing PC builds to Insiders using UUP. To prepare for this, we are going to pause all PC builds for both the Fast and Slow rings starting this evening (Friday 12/2). We will begin flighting the latest builds via UUP starting with our internal rings first then to Insiders based on each ring's promotion criteria. We're excited to be able to release builds for PC to Insiders using UUP! Mobile builds are not impacted by this.
It's unclear how long this pause in build availability will be, but considering Microsoft wants to test out their own method internally first, it could be a few days at the very least. Stick to Windows Central for more news regarding the Insider Preview.


Nutrition is a wonderful playground for people who want to manipulate fear. We need food to live, yet can be poisoned by eating the wrong things. Learning from others which foods are safe and which are dangerous was essential to our survival in the days before grocery stores. We are primed to react to scares about food.
I teach nutrition at a community college, to students who are interested in the subject but have little to no scientific background. I like to think I'm helping them develop their baloney detectors, but there is a lot of, ahem, baloney out there. I even presented some in class: they voted to watch Hungry For Changeand I said fine—but we'll unpack it and, literally, do our homework on the "experts" featured.
Because, as this review clued me in, the film is a bait-and-switch: it draws in the viewer with a lengthy lament on how unhealthy the western diet is, then turns into an infomercial for juicing. One of the experts is introduced as a filmmaker, but oh by the way he sells juice extractors. Another is the Dr. Oz-endorsed author of books about juice-based "cleansing." (He believes that the problem with "toxins" is that they cause our bodies to produce a spiritual mucus that makes us sluggish.) Not everyone is juice-centric: some are selling other things, like weight-loss meditation CDs.
The movie even gives a specific warning in its first half: beware anybody selling you food that's supposed to be healthy, because they don't make money from your health. They make money by making the product attractive enough that you buy it.
Ironically, this describes the tactics used by the peddlers in Hungry for Change. It's true of the people behind Mercola and Natural News (both of whom were featured in the movie, and both of whom hard-sell conspiracy theories about food and medicine right next to dubious products like earthing mats.) And it's true of my favorite purveyor of facebook-borne rumors, the Food Babe.
She sells meal plans and endorses superfood supplements, but positions herself as an "investigator" of the dangers in foods. The tactic, it seems, is to make people feel that the world is so full of dangerous foods that they better pay for her meal plans that specify what she believes is safe to eat.
But behind the unified front (all processed food is dangerous!) lies a tangled web of factoids. Some are clearly not true, like her claims about GMOs (for a good read on which GMO claims are myths and which are real, I highly recommendGrist's series.) Others are true, but only scary if you don't think about them too much – like when she makes a big deal about "wood pulp" in your food. When you extract cellulose from anything, wood or otherwise, what you get is not chunks of trees in your food, but simply cellulose itself, better known as one type of dietary fiber, the stuff that veggies and whole grains are full of.
Maureen Ogle sent the Food Babe's list of "shocking" beer ingredients to several actual brewers. MSG? Nope. Fish swim bladders? Sort of, yeah, but they don't actually make it into the finished beer. Corn syrup? Possibly, but most of it would be food for the yeast, so that means it's turned into alcohol by the time you drink it.
Alcohol, by the way, is an actual toxin.
All this misinformation is a version of the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt tactic that's been recognized as a marketing tool in other contexts. It operates on a guilt-by-association model: if bread contains a chemical that's also used in yoga mats, you claim that yoga mats are in our food. Nevermind that TUMS contain the same chemical used in gravestones; that's a great example from Joe Schwarcz's critique of the Food Babe.
Countering this misinformation is, I think, an important but overlooked target for public health. Education helps: many of the misconceptions about GMOs can be overcome once you actually understand what genetic modification is—although it's a tricky subject. I survey my students about GMOs, and most are usually suspicious of it. When I ask what's wrong with GMOs, they respond with some serious, legitimate concerns: pesticide residues, Monsanto's control over farmers, environmental effects of fertilizer runoff. The only problem with these concerns? They aren't really about GMOs. Once they learn what GMOs can and can't do, and how the other problems in modern agriculture would exist with or without GMOs, they're better equipped to form opinions that, whether I agree or not, are based on something closer to fact.
So how can we baloney-proof people who are honestly trying to find the best information about how to be safe and healthy? I'll keep teaching and writing about the real science behind what's in our food, but in the meantime, maybe this message will appeal: when you hear somebody trying to scare you about food, ask what they're selling. If you distrust Big Ag and Big Pharma, you won't find any better treatment from Big Juice.

Weng Weng . He was a martial arts movies actor. 83 centimetres tall (2'9").
In some cases, being short can be an asset in a fight, as short people have a lower and more stable center of gravity. For this reason, it is actually much easier for a woman to suplex or lift a man on her shoulders —since, on average, women tend to be a bit smaller than men.
Most short kendo practitioners. While the big guys may be able to hit harder, the smaller ones move faster and hit more areas, which is what counts in kendo. Case in point: a 5'1" man beating a 6'3" guy within ten seconds. Quite impressive.
This is even more prominent in competitions, where points are only granted for perfect technique, not strength. In fact, training with the katana teaches the wielder to strike with finesse and smooth, flowing motions, since relying on muscular strength can very easily damage the blade. In other words, katana wielders are trained to end fights with the first attack, using as little exertion as possible.
This is also the reason why women and men practice and often fight together in the same series. Size or strength really doesn't give any advantage in kendo.
Johannes Lichtenauer, one of the prominent Medieval figures in German School of Swordsmanship considered an ideal knight to be rather small and concord in stature than big and well-built, and having rather stamina than strength. Strong, tall and well-built men would make fine archers.
Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido. Many pictures of O-Sensei, as he is known, show him in the process of serenely ◊ trouncing ◊ people quite a bit taller and younger than him.
Nobuyoshi Tamura , a former student of Ueshiba, sensei of the French Aikikai, an 77 years old quite small man (compared to his French and European student) who has no qualm about having his younger, taller and stronger students crawl to the ground.
Gozo Shioda , an early student of Ueshiba and founder of Yoshinkan Aikido, "was a small man, standing at around 5'1" to 5'2" (155–157 cm) and weighing around 102 lb. to 108 lb. (46–49 kg)", according to that Wikipedia page.
Muggsy Bogues managed to hold his own against many of the best basketball players in the NBA despite being 5'3" (160 cm) tall - the shortest man to ever play in the league. Bogues had several pictures of him with the tallest NBA player ever, the 7'7" (231 cm) Manute Bol. There was a 28-inch (71 cm) difference between their heights ◊. Bogues and Bol were actually teammates for one season—Washington Bullets owner Abe Pollin was the Bill Veeck of the NBA.
The 5'7" (170 cm) Lionel Messi and the 5'5" (165 cm) Diego Maradona are generally agreed to be two of the 10 greatest soccer players ever.
Israel is one of the tiniest countries in the Middle East. It's also a well known military powerhouse and is acknowledged for having the uncontested best-trained airforce in the world. Likely because it is almost always dealing with violence in some way or another.
Similar to the Israel example is Finland, Switzerland and (during the Cold War) Sweden. All nations with populations below 10 000 000 inhabitants and armed forces counting numbers close to the million.
This is the origin of a joke: A German General meets a Swiss General.
German General: How large is your army?
Swiss General: We can field a hundred thousand men.
German General: And what if we show up on your border with a million men?
Swiss General: We will all shoot ten times, then go home.
This trope may be a reason why Singapore requires its male citizens to undergo two years of military service.
Many combat specific soldiers are shorter, around the 5' range or even less, and a Napoleon complex isn't uncommon. But in a Real Life aversion, it's a common complaint among drill sergeants in Combat Arms OSUTs that 'the skinny ones break too easily', while the overweight recruits develop muscle mass from fat with fewer injuries.
Nepalis are known for their small size. Despite that, the Gurkhas have a remarkable reputation as soldiers. During the 60s the Gurkhas usually carried the American M16, rather than the British SLR. The reason for this was that the M16 was lighter and easier for the Gurkhas to fire.
Audie Murphy At 166cm/5'6", the Marines and paras rejected him for being too short. His company commander tried to have him sent to a cook and bakers' school after basic, but he'd have none of it. He went on to win every military award (some multiple times) in the US up to and including the Medal of Honor. And a few French and Belgian decorations on top of all that (little trinkets like the Légion d'honneur). And he had malaria at the time.
Simo Häyhä, at 5'3" (160cm), was likely the greatest sniper of all time. He is officially credited with killing 705 Soviet soldiers over roughly 100 days of combat.
Finnish Air Force. Never consisting of more than two fighter regiments, one bomber regiment, and one reconnaissance regiment, it nevertheless managed to score more than 1500 confirmed victories against the Soviets and create 106 fighter aces in WWII (many of them flying obsolete Brewster Buffalo fighters). Even today, Finnish pilots flying F-18 Hornets managed to score 100-6 against their NATO opponents in Frisian Flag 2013 excercize.
Likewise, the Israeli Air Force. There are more Israeli jet aces than there are jet aces together in the rest of the world.
Taffy 3, a small group of destroyers, destroyer escorts, and escort carriers, which fought off a major Japanese assault on the Leyte Gulf landings during the Battle Off Samar. Their opponents included the enormous battleship Yamato, which alone exceeded the displacement of the entire task group combined. Taffy 3 fought with such ferocity that the captain of the Yamato was forced to retreat because he believed that he was fighting a much larger group and couldn't sacrifice one of the three most expensive ships the IJN had.
The destroyer USS Johnston fought so hard that when she was sunk she was reported by the Japanese as being a heavy cruiser of the Baltimore-class, a ship class nearly seven times the displacement of the typical World War II destroyer. Johnston not only managed to cripple the Heavy Cruiser Kumano by blowing off its bow, forcing the heavy cruiser Suzuya to stop to assist it, then after already taking heavy damage, but she also engaged a Japanese cruiser and destroyer column in order to save the retreating escort carriers. Her actions so impressed the Japanese that the crew of one of the Japanese ships that finished her off manned the rails and saluted as she sunk.
The destroyer escortnote a class of warship even smaller than a destroyer Samuel B. Roberts made her heroic attack run, passing the now heavily damaged Johnston as she was retiring from a similar attack. After expending her 3 torpedoes damaging one Japanese heavy cruiser, Samuel B. Roberts maneuvered so close to a Japanese heavy cruiser that the Japanese crew could not depress their guns low enough to return fire, leading to considerable damage to the Japanese cruiser. Samuel B. Roberts was eventually crippled in the exchange, and while retreating, was hit and sunk by the battleship Kongo. It was said of the ship afterward that she was a "destroyer escort that fought like a battleship."
The escort carrier White Plains and an unknown aircraft finished the job for the little Sammy B, White Plains blowing up Chokai's type 93 "Long Lance" torpedoes with a well-placed 5/38 shell (5 in. diameter, 38 cal. length barrel) — in the only engagement in history in which an aircraft carrier destroyed another ship with direct gunfire — and the aircraft dropping a bomb in the forward machinery room, according to the Other Wiki. The destroyer Fujinami had to scuttle her. Chokai lost all hands, while Fujinami was later blown up with all hands, which, by the way, still had all of Chokai's survivors aboard.
This trope applies to destroyers in general, small ships relying on powerful engines and sharp turns rather than thick armor for protection, commonly called the "Tin Can Navy" whose primary tactic against larger ships is to charge in, zig-zagging while peppering the enemy with shellfire, until they get close enough to launch torpedoes. A Fletcher-class ship like the Johnston is fitted with five 5"/cal. 38 guns, each one capable of firing fifteen 37-pound exploding shells per minute, and can fire ten torpedoes at once.
The wolverine is a non-human example of this. It's maybe about the size of a medium-sized dog or a large badger and can take down reindeer. Wolverines have been seen bullying an entire pack of wolves and stealing their food, and there have even been documented cases of them fighting off bears! Against a wolverine's hell of a bad temper, the eponymous Sociopathic Hero is comparatively more of a Deathbringer the Adorable.
The shrew is among the tiniest mammals in the world, and they can take down things that, proportionately, would ruin a wolverine's day. Some of them are even venomous!
Humans, too. 80 kg man can hunt almost any prey using tools. Without them, however, a man still can defeat an alligator or survive an encounter with a bear, if lucky. If you take account of the muscle mass, humans are incredibly strong.
While size does make a major difference among evenly skilled fighters in the martial arts scene, the smaller competitors are still formidable fighters capable of impressive feats; many ostensibly lower weight class fighters have fought in the heavyweight divisions and done quite well. Also, when weight classes were introduced to competitive judo, many of the small judoka left the sport, saying that building the skills to overcome larger opponents were an integral part of it.
Bruce Lee. The man was seriously tiny and scrawny for what was considered a good build for action hero badasses. That really didn't stop him, and it was theorized that pound for pound, he was probably one of the strongest men alive.
Martial arts masters, physical trainers, etc. all universally note that the key to Lee's power wasn't the unnecessarily large muscles one usually associates with "strong men;" instead, Lee's body was toned so perfectly that he had somewhere in the range of 0 to 5% body fat, with every muscle being trained solely for absurd explosions of strength and speed without any wasted effort or force. The result was a musculature more defined and proportionally perfect than most anatomical models.
Chris Paul is one of the best and most feared players in the NBA, despite being one of the shorter ones (at 6' in height).
Boxer Manny Pacquiao is 5'6", and tends to come weighing in the mid-140-pound area. He's one of the best boxers in the world. You can underestimate him because of his size, goofy smile and friendly manner if you want to, but he will fuck you up if you do .
Most boxers in his weight class would qualify. Sure, they'd probably lose to heavyweights who are trained boxers, but some schmoe off the street isn't likely to fair so well, even if he outweighs the light weight by 50 pounds.
5'1'' MMA fighter Nakai Rin certainly counts.
Foil Fencers are often going to be better if they are both short and skinny, and they are harder to hit, and can get in close more easily. Short historical fencers who know that they're doing are nothing to sneeze at, either, when you realize that you have to bend at the knees (bending over exposes your head) to hit anywhere except for the head, which is far easier to defend against than your legs, which is their primary target.
Arabian Horses. Most range from 12-14 hands high (the technical size of ponies), and are renowned for three things: Their delicate beauty, being gentle enough that children can ride stallions, and having so much natural speed and endurance that it's illegal to race them against any other breed. Because it just wouldn't be fair to the other horses.
Show jumping and eventing at the international level often favor taller (16.2 and up), more powerfully built horses, because their longer legs make it easier for them to get over the very high jumps in use at this levelnote this isn't an issue at lower levels, or in hunter-jumper classes, where fences are shorter and most breeds of horses and taller ponies can compete on equal ground. Yet the silver medalist in show jumping at the 1968 Olympics was Stroller, a 14.1-hand pony. Similarly, the 14.2-hand Theodore O'Connor captured team and individual gold medals in eventing at the 2007 Pan-American games. The 16-hand, slightly-built thoroughbred mare Touch of Class won individual and team gold medals in showjumping at the 1984 Olympics (over the 17-hand Trakehner stallion Abdullah), and the 15.3hh mare Headley Brittania is one of only a handful of horses to have won all three of the top eventing competitions in the world (Badminton and Burghley in the U.K and Kentucky in the U.S).
Rhinoceros beetles. They are about 60 mm long and can lift up to 850 times their own weight.
Liam Hoekstra: The world's strongest toddler . He has a rare genetic disorder that makes him have a (incredibly high) metabolism and has 40% more muscle than the average kid. In short: he's three and has a six pack. How does that make you feel, nerd?
"World's Strongest Woman" Varya Akulova was able to lift nine times her body weight and carry her father and two other adult men on her back'' when she was only six years old. Even as an adult, her physical strength is unheard of for a woman her age and height.
Tim "The Enchanter" Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants, a skinny rod of a guy if there ever was one, is one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball today. When he was in college, most major-league scouts thought he was too small to play major-league ball.
The Ratel, or Honey Badger, is an animal only three feet long. It is also the most feared animal in Africa. Honey badger don't give a shit about lions, cobras, etc. since their skin is thick enough to protect them against most animal stings and bites and actually too tough to be pierced by a spear or an arrow and it can withstand several machete blows, they have been known to chase away adult lions and steal their kills, they raid henhouses by actually tearing off the planks from their walls... short of actually being bulletproof, there is little they can't withstand.
Many small ice hockey players (David Krejci, who ended his career with the Boston Bruins, and Theoren Fleury, who most famously played for the Calgary Flames) can play a style better suited for players way larger. Krejci's hit opponents so hard, he gained the nickname of Wrecking ball.
Jackie Earle Haley: 5'5" and has black belts in taekwondo and kempo.
Maurice Jones-Drew from the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was passed over in the draft until the second round because most scouts thought he was simply too short (he's listed at 5'7" and that's probably being generous). He's consistently been one of the NFL's top rushers while spending most of his career on Jaguars teams that didn't have much else of anything in the way of offense.
Doug Flutie was the same height as Jones-Drew and was thought to be too small to play QB, partly because he theoretically couldn't see downfield over his 6 foot plus offensive linemen. In spite of this, he had a respectable career in the NFL, and stars in one of the most memorable plays in college football history.
Leopards are the smallest of the big cats, and not only kill animals that are bigger than they are, but have been known to drag carcasses twice their own weight into trees. See here for a leopard carrying a zebra nearly as big as itself straight up a tree and making it look totally effortless.
Philippine national hero Jose Rizal, author of Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, is only 1.5 meters tall. He is not only a polymath, but he is also a gym buff, a gifted fencer, a sharpshooter, and a wrestler. He challenged a bigger bully to a fight and won.
Machine example. The "FQ" series produces anywhere from 300 to 400 horsepower. The engine is a two liter straight-4. Most consumer level cars with that engine produce under 200 horse power.
Modern Formula One engines are restricted to under three liters. They produce well over 600 horsepower.
Most modern turbocharged engines (as in "designed from scratch to be turbocharged", not as "someone added a turbo") are incredibly strong and also light for their size: VW/Audi 1.8T (it can be easily modified to run over 400hp), Subaru 2-liter boxer (even street versions kick serious ass, but it has been modified for drag racing to give a whopping 700 hp), Renault Megane RS 2-liter turbo and so on.
Any car with small exterior dimensions/short lengths and powerful large engine sizes do count. Shelby Cobra, AMC Gremlin, and Chaparral 2J, for example.
Alexander Veljanov , a Macedonian-German singer and the lead vocalist of the band Deine Lakaien.
Tiny Asian woman takes on big angry customer . Tiny Asian woman wins effortlessly.
South Korean golfer KJ Choi is a bit on the short side at 5'8, especially standing next to peers like 6'4 Ernie Else or 6'5'' Dustin Johnson. Despite this, he's always had a reputation as a reasonably long hitter (though not as long as Johnson), probably as a result of him being a competitive powerlifter as a junior, who could squat 350 lbs as a 95 lbs 13-year-old.
Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox is known for his short stature. His listed height nowadays is 5'8, though USA Today once listed him as 5'7 when he was in college. The ambiguity isn't helped by his rumored desire to be measured while wearing his baseball cleats, standing on a hard surface. Either way, Yankees fans give him endless shit about his height and he's one of the best second basemen in the league. In addition to being a very good fielder and "contact" hitter, he's not entirely without power at the plate.
Ants can carry 20 times their weight.
4 of the most prominent members of the Bones Brigade, Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Lance Mountain and Steve Caballero, were kids at the time when they were recruited but Steve was the most prominent example as Stacy commented in The Bones Brigade An Autobiography that Steve was the smallest skateboarder he ever seen, even compared to other kids like Tony Hawk, yet Steve is able to do tricks that he shouldn't be able to do, hence the reason why Stacy wanted him to be on the Bones Brigade. Even when all grown up he is still consderably shorter than most people ◊.
Pretty much any dive bomber in WW2. It was really cheap to build, but any well-placed bomb could destroy a ship.
The Voltigeurs of the Grande Armée were a whole unit of these. They could be no taller than 5'3' but had to be extremely sturdy and skilled with a musket. There were also specially selected for their aggressiveness, so you could say that they were soldiers of Napoleon's army with an actual Napoleon complex.
Kacy Catanzaro , the only woman to complete a City Finals course on American Ninja Warrior, is 5'0'', 100 lbs of badass.
For a while during the later parts of the Cold War, the Panavia Tornado could certainly count. Although it wasn't small by European standards, it's smaller than many American Fighters, and could carry more ordinance then most of them until very recently. However, where an American attack on an Airfield could require several aircraft performing various tasks to take out, RAF and Luftwaffe doctrine only required two Tornadoes, each packing a JP 233 Bomblet Dispenser. After just one pass by both aircraft, a Runway would be both cratered, and mined, rendering it useless for days or weeks. Oh, and to add insult to runway cratering injury, the Tornado is a multi-role aircraft and is just at home in a dogfight as it is in a Runway attack.
The JP 233 has since been pulled from service citing several advances in cruise missile technology that can mitigate the risk to the Tornado and its crew. On top of that, when the bomblets are dropped, the JP 233 has to be carried back to base, not exactly a good thing to have when you're trying to outrun a bunch of very pissed off fighters that managed to get off the runway before you ensured they couldn't return to it.
Oh, and to really give some nightmares, the Tornado can also carry up to four B61 Nuclear Weapons. In short, one Tornado can level four cities in one mission. Sleep well enemies of NATO!
While not exactly a small aircraft by any standards, the B-25 Mitchel of US Army Air Force fame in World War II was still smaller than most other bombers of the war, but it was probably the single most versatile bomber of the war as a result. The most widely used version, the B-25J, was used in just about every attack role imaginable. Aside from the defensive machine guns (which the B-25 had in abundance), the bomber also had 4-6 .50cals fixed forward for strafing duties, with a later version even mounting a 75mm cannon in the nose. It would be this bombers small size, and still impressive bomb capacity (3,000lbs), that would make it the perfect choice to launch the Doolittle Raid with, since the bomber was small enough, andnote after shedding unnecessary weight light enough to launch from the Aircraft Carrier Hornet. Compared to the damage B-29s would do some years later, the raid itself did little physical damage, but B-25s were still able to send the message to Japan that they really DID wake a sleeping giant.
It should be noted that B-25s were so versatile, easy to fly, and so maneuverable, that several foreign Air Forces bought up surplus Mitchels, or bought some during the war and held onto them. The last B-25 was retired from active service in 1979. Not bad for a medium bomber that first flew in 1940.
Tarantula hawk wasps are strong enough to drag around tarantulas over three times their size.
The HAL Tejas is a positively tiny warplane designed by India—it has an empty weight of only 6,500 kg. The single-engine Tejas has a maximum takeoff weight of 13,200 kg, just over twice its empty weight. For contrast, the US-made twin-engined Raptor weighs 19,700 kg and a maximum takeoff weight of 38,000 kg, which is a bit under twice its empty weight. In case you are under the impression that the Tejas buys this relatively greater lifting power at the expense of agility or speed, it is, in fact, a highly maneuverable supersonic multirole fighter, meant to challenge both enemy aircraft and ground targets. On top of that, two of the featured weapons in its loadout are fuel air explosives and incendiary bombs. That means that this little monster will cheerfully bring a disproportinately large amount of fiery death to your door and remind you exactly why the named it the "Radiant".
Likewise, Folland Gnat and its descendant, HAL Ajeet. Gnat was originally designed to be a budget alternative for bigger and faster fighters, and fighter version of Gnat F.1 was first operationally flown by Finnish Air Force in 1958. It proved extremely manouevreable and a skilled pilot could easily challenge a MiG-21. The Indian Gnats proved superior to Pakistani Sabres and Starfighters, and the indians developed Gnat further into HAL Ajeet ("Unconquerable"). Finnish Gnats were withdrawn from service 1972 and Indian Ajeets in 1991.
Mantis Shrimp and related groups. On average, they grow to less than one and a half feet long. They are able to swing their claws with an average acceleration of over 100,000 meters per second (330,000 feet per second). Because of this ability to swing their claws so rapidly, they also generate cavitation bubbles that collapse with enough power to produce instant forces of 1,500 newtons. This means that even if their attack misses, the resulting shock wave will be enough to stun or even kill their prey.
Dromaeosaurs. Even the biggest of them were small by dinosaur standards, but with their speed, agility, and wickedly sharp claws, they were capable of taking down pretty hefty prey; there's a fairly famous fossil of the smallish, birdlike Velociraptor locked in battle with a much bulkier Protoceratops.
Pygmy owls. They look like Ridiculously Cute Critters, being tiny, round owls no larger than a robin. But they are quite possibly the strongest birds in the world, capable of carrying off victims that weigh far more than they do. A 2.5-ounce pygmy owl can take off with a squirrel or a quail, both of which can weigh up to twice as much as the owl itself. There is even a well-authenticated account of a pygmy owl killing and eating a 6-pound chicken, a bird 38 times its size.
With sufficient advancements in the efficiency of computer components, PC enthusiasts have built workstations and gaming-grade powerhouses that take up only a few liters of space .
Deng Xiaoping. The guy survived Mao purges, outmaneuvered Mao's chosen successor, Hua Guofeng, and reformed China's economy. And he did all this when he was 5 ft tall.
Usually subverted in Robot Combat. While many successful machines appear to be dwarfed by their opponents, robots are almost always very close to the maximum weight for their weight class. Packing the same mass into a smaller physical size allows them to have thicker armor. However, several robots played this straight:
Chaos 2 of Robot Wars weighed only about 80 kg while its opponents weighed up to 100 kg after Series 4. However, it remained a serious contender due to its speed, skilled driver, and powerful flipper.
Sewer Snake and Megabyte are normally heavyweights, but fought with some success in the Superheavyweight class, going up against robots 50% heavier than they were.
Crash and Burn are a heavyweight "Multibot" consisting of two small robots fighting as a team, with a combined weight less than their opponents. This is usually not an effective strategy because the opponents of multibots can pick them off one at a time, but Crash and Burn took on two of the most destructive robots in their weight class - Megabyte and Last Rites - and won by knockout both times!
Shetland Ponies. They are the smallest of all pony breeds, however, pound for pound they are the strongest and can pull twice their body weight in circumstances where a draft horse can pull only half theirs. On top of this, they are known to be clever, "cheeky" and brave.
The marsupial lion was basically the Pleistocene Australian equivalent of a leopard. Despite being less than five feet long from nose to tail, they were immensely robust and powerful, able to kill prey animals much larger than themselves and drag their carcasses up trees to feed. As if that weren't enough, it was able to successfully compete with predators over four times its size, such as the giant monitor lizard Megalania and the huge terrestrial crocodile Quinkana.
Inanimate example. One uranium pellet possesses energy equivalent to either 149 gallons of oil, 1780 pounds of coal, or 17,000 cubic meters of natural gas.
Male gymnasts often fall under this. Since gymnastics tend to favor smaller bodies, and male gymnastics place a lot of emphasis on upper-body strength, the end result is a lot of short guys that are utterly jacked. One Olympian commented that when the male gymnasts go out together in the Olympic Village, they look like packs of Ewoks.
A staple of the first two Wars of Italian Independence:
The Kingdom of Sardinia amounted to what now are the Italian regions of Sardinia, Piedmont, Liguria and Aosta Valley, plus the now French territories of Savoie and Haute Savoie (the historical region of Savoy) and the arrondissement of Nice. While the second largest of the Italian states it was positively tiny compared to the Austrian Empire... And yet always managed to put a hard fight, though it ultimately lost the first war once the other Italian states abandoned the war and needed French help to win the second.
Garibaldi would always lead volunteer forces that caused much disproportionate damage to the enemy. His greatest feat was the Expedition of the Thousand, in which he led a badly-armed force of about a thousand soldiers against the Kingdom of Two Sicilies and its well equipped army of 90,000 and conquered it all (in no small part due a combination of his larger-than-life persona and status prompting many enemy soldiers to desert if not outright defect to his side).
