Physics. That haunt of the nerd and the may be occasional weirdo? Well, have I got news for you! If you are a trader, physics could make you a lot of money and you do not have to study black holes and string theory to reach your goal. Just think Time and Gravity. Let these be your friend. Study these two and you are home free. What does time and gravity have to do with trading you say? Have you ever heard of "the trend is your friend until it ends"? To use physics, you have to then apply one of Newton's Law of Motion - the one that says, an object remains in motion until it is stopped by a greater opposing force. Then if the trend is up, you have to keep buying until you can no longer buy. And if...

The term "robot" refers to appliances and machines that are monitored and controlled by a computer. They are used extensively to ease human workload. Robots are designed to perform repetitive chores quickly and efficiently as compared to human beings. Robots are used in various types of industries, as they help save on labor costs. Industrial robots find application in tasks such as repairing, welding, painting, grouping, allocating, product inspection and testing. Vehicle and manufacturing industries use these appliances to design auto parts, gather equipment and scrutinize manufactured parts. Industrial robots are substituted for manpower in perilous jobs, which require carrying out hazardous and...

The first instance of a modern robot was the equipment that was visible in clocks kept in medieval churches. This was an innovative discovery of clever watchmakers of those times who applied the theory of automation into practice. The word "robot" is derived from the Czech word "Robota", which means "compulsory labor." Karel Capek, a Czech author and dramatist first used this term in his 1921 play, Rossum's Universal Robots. Since then, the term has been used to refer to any equipment that accomplishes tasks with a great degree of ease; these tasks are often the sort that a human being may find complicated or undesirable. Robot is also a term used to classify appliances that resemble human beings...

Building, driving, and modifying radio-controlled car kits or other toys is a popular hobby among radio controlled (RC) enthusiasts. The Radio Controlled devices are a popular hobby, and are a key component in a sport that involves displaying the skill of the user in controlling the device efficiently. Radio Controlled devices, or remote controlled devices as they are also called, are devices that are worked remotely from a distance. The first demonstration of the remote controlling activity was perhaps by Jagdish Chandra Bose when he ignited gun powder and struck a gong from a distance using electromagnetic radiation. Tesla was the first to demonstrate a radio controlled ship calling Teleautomata...
