How to Hold a Grudge : From Resentment to Contentment- the Power of Grudges to Transform Your Life / by Hannah, Sophie, 1971- author 649175

“…Internationally bestselling author and grudge guru Sophie Hannah has elevated the practice of grudge-holding to a fine art--one that can improve the quality of our relationships at home, at the office, and everywhere else people might annoy or offend us. Blending the practical with the philosophical, How to Hold a Grudge examines the origins of grudges and shows readers how to harness their power to transform sources of resentment into wellsprings of affirming, long-lasting contentment. …”

An Analytical Model for Pitch Moment Stiffness of Bolted Connections and Its Application in Ballscrew Bearing Support Block Selection by Harlalka, Akshay D., Slocum, Alexander H.

“…Application of the model is illustrated with a ball screw system design spreadsheet, available in Supplemental Material on the ASME Digital Collection, applied to two case studies (machine tool linear axis and high-speed 3D printer) to show how predicting the moment stiffness of ball screw support bearing blocks helps in expanding the available design space and enhance the design performance.…”

A micro motion sensing system for micromanipulation tasks by Tan, U Xuan, Latt, Win Tun, Georgiou, Andreas, Sidarta, Ananda Ekaputera, Riviere, Cameron N, Ang, Wei Tech

“…The main components of the system consist of a pair of position sensitive detectors (PSDs), lenses, an infrared (IR) diode that illuminates the workspace of the system, a non-reflective intraocular shaft, and a white reflective ball attached at the end of the shaft. The system calculates 3D displacement of the ball inside the workspace using the centroid position of the IR rays that are reflected from the ball and strike the PSDs. …”
