Try local bail agents since they are easy to get hold of and even walk to their offices. In fact, the importance of bail bonds has made sure there are companies offering the services just around the court or jail area. If you need other services such as locating the accused individual, more investigation or simply legal assistance, these companies will surprise you by the elaborate services they offer. 

In fact, they make sure the free information is available to any client and any queries answered on demand. Sometimes the bail amount might be high due to the nature or severity of the crime committed. Nevertheless, you can always find some bail bonds agencies you can agree on installment payment after paying a specific deposit.

Intelligent Spoon and Food Taster Technology for the Kitchen


After a long day at the office, you might have to go to the kitchen and prepare a meal for the family. A lot could have taken place in the office and over the course of the entire day. Due to this, preparing food in the kitchen without a single complain is very rare. While junior might complain the soup lacks enough salt, little Winnie could hurt your feelings by reporting the pie needs some flavor. At that moment, you are bound to feel like you are the worst cook who has ever owned a kitchen.  
Intelligent Spoon Prototype
While the problem is not reserved for the few lacking in culinary intelligence, an intelligent spoon can be what you need. If you can get a spoon crucial in the mixing process making use of sensors to measure the quality of food, such as acidity, it is obvious adventures in the kitchen would be redefined. The spoon is an automated kitchen gadget developed in 2006 by two MIT students working in the famous Counter Intelligence Lab where gadgets to make your time in the kitchen easier and memorable are made. The idea behind this development is the smart technology development that works by automating devices and appliances with computers to have most of the work eliminated and the thought process behind it vanished.  

Lenardo Bonnani and Connie Cheng’s kitchen tool could help make great cooks out of the big number of people daft in culinary prowess. The big intelligent spoon tastes food in a different sense through an evaluation of four main areas, namely, temperature, salinity, viscosity and pH. The smart spoon prototype pH evaluation makes sure the acidity is all right for the sake of pickling recipes and salad dressings. In terms of temperature, the intelligent spoon makes sure the recipes are kept in the right temperature so that all the ingredients mix properly. In the case of liquid foods such as soup and sauce, the right thickness or viscosity is very important. The smart kitchen gadget also measures the rate of salinity so that a dish is not over-salted. Sodium in the case of salinity is what is measured. 

The spoon is made up of complete plastic with sensors within made up of gold, aluminum and zinc. After touching food, the sensors come alive to measure the temperature of the concoction, viscosity, salinity and acidity. If the intelligent plastic spoon is connected with a cord to a PC, data from the spoon is analyzed and feedback given. The smart spoon is still at the prototype stage but the measurement seemingly is done on the different factors and the recipes already in the database helps come up with a suggestion. Depending on what is being prepared, the spoon intelligently makes suggestions, for example some grams of baking soda or a spoonful of salt to have all the essential levels of acidity, salinity, temperature and viscosity balanced for culinary satisfaction. 

The students in the Lab are also working on other kitchen gadgets such as Talking Trivet, able to detect synthetic recipes and meal temperature and Graphic Interface that suggests a menu based on description of food cravings, for example refreshing or comforting.

Charging Maps for Electric Cars Enhanced by DOE Google Link


America’s target to have a million electric cars on the road by 2015 has been boosted by the confirmed link between Google and DOE, where charging maps for electric cars would be provided by Google Maps with all the data on all charging stations across the United States. This comes with a $5 million award for a city that will popularize the electric cars.

The electric car revolution has been advertised greatly by the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt entry into the commercial market, but no consumer is ready to convert into the novel rides until there are enough charging stations. The American government is arguably the highest electric car booster and was at the heart of the announcement of the Electric Vehicle ecosystem.

The Department of Energy (DOE) was closely working with Google to have a unique national clearinghouse that would hold data on charging stations and the different available services to have all customers served. The innovative effort has charging stations referred to as “Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment” or EVSE, with the location of the stations available through Google Maps, also the source of primary data for all mapping and GPS services.

The DOE is asking car navigation systems and makers to utilize the service and contribute to the database and its usage.

The future of America Automobile could be pegged on the success of Electric cars.
