Promote a coin with the face of the Pope in Argentina

A few days after the pope criticized capitalism Francisco , Argentine lawmakers are considering a new way to honor him : put your face on a coin.

The proposal to create a commemorative coin in honor of the first Pope originating in Latin America could be discussed Thursday in the House of Argentina , Cachi said Deputy Oscar Martinez in a posting on its official Facebook page.

Martinez proposed the measure in April and won the approval of congressional committees earlier this month.

The objective of the coins , according to the text of the initiative is to " commemorate an event of global dimensions , serve in our present and future generations to remember the fact Fausto history of mankind, in which the main actor is Argentine . "

Christmas I want a flying robot ......

Less than a month to Christmas, retail experts predict that the toys Santa's sleigh flying is not the only object of the night skies during this holiday season .

Both international toy stores Toys ' R ' Us and Information Association of toys in the UK have appointed flying toys remote their " best selling toys " for Christmas 2013 , and this is just the beginning of the invasion of flying robots . Flying Robots of all sizes - from flying fairies miniature surveillance aircraft to actually scale could appear under the Christmas tree on December 25 .

Clearly, the development of materials and high-tech components to build complex flying robots are brewing with creativity in the new world of " civil UAVs ."

It was not long ago that the multifunctional control helicopters are easily seen only in the hands of university researchers and technology of military specialists. At present , light engines and gyroscopes that provide stability are available to all ; technology of flying robots has opened the world of toys , as well as providing photography enthusiasts new ways to make home movies and take aerial photographs.
You can see some of the most amazing flying robots available for children and adults in the slideshow above. You might think to give a break to Rudolph this year giving away something that can go down the chimney itself

The jimmy choo racing "shoes designed for horses"

 They are called " the Jimmy Choo Horseshoes " , but not only the design will attract riders and coaches .

The Australian CSIRO Titanium Technologies company claims to have made ​​a lighter by using titanium instead of traditional cast aluminum horseshoe.
They claim that the shoe can be 100 grams lighter , which could mean that the horses run faster in races .

Maybe 100 grams may not seem much, but as Clive Woodward says - who was knighted after leading the British team glory Rugby World Cup 2003 - the smallest margins can make a big difference.
Unlike a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes , which can cost more than $ 3,200 (about 41,000 pesos) - a set of four titanium horseshoes only costs $ 560 (about 7,300 pesos).

" I intend to develop confidence and horse racing team ," he told CNN John Barnes, an expert in working conCSIRO titanium Titanium Technologies. "We still believe we can further reduce the weight ," he added .

To produce the Titanium model , scientists scanned the hooves of a horse with a handheld device before creating the design software , the company said through a press release that its title was referring to the famous designer originally from Malaysia .

"Four horseshoes as were printed in a few hours! " According to CSIRO.
"We decided as a team when we tried to make people understand the potential of additive manufacturing and you do not need to be an expert designer," Barnes said.

"Advances in 3D scanning are an easy and affordable way to get a customized product that has a maximum design flexibility."
"We can use titanium in many ways."

Richard Perham, jockey in chief of the British Racing School in Newmarket , England, said the new technology has potential.

" My job as coach is to make riders better understand and take advantage of the finer points ," Perham told CNN. " So if you add all those elements and those 100 grams , I think there will be an advantage. Portion Every little counts."
