Juan R. Cruz

Dr. **Juan R. Cruz**, Ph.D. (born January 5, 1946) is a Puerto Rican scientist who played a very important role in the design and development of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) parachute.

## Life

Cruz was born and raised in Puerto Rico. He has a Ph.D. from Virginia Tech, and a Bachelor of Science from MIT university. Both of his degrees are in aerospace engineering. When he was at MIT he was involved with the Monarch and Daedalus human powered airplane teams.

## Work

Cruz is a senior aerospace engineer in the Exploration Systems Engineering Branch at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. He was responsible on the development of entry, descent and landing (EDL) systems for robotic and human missions in space. He was a member of the highly successful Mars Exploration Rover (MER) project that placed two rovers (machines) on the surface of Mars in 2004. The project was focused on the parachute that he designed.

According to Cruz, "There are challenges to testing these parachutes because we can not test it at exactly the right conditions. Earth's atmosphere is the one we have to work with and the Martian atmosphere, air in Mars, is very different, so you have to make adjustments in how you test the parachute".

Cruz is also a member of the Phoenix (Mars 2007), Mars Science Laboratory (Mars 2009), and Crew Exploration Vehicle EDL teams. He was a part of a lot of research on missions to Mars, including robotic airplanes

Al-Fatiha Foundation

The **Al-Fatiha Foundation** is an organization which advances the cause of gay, lesbian, and transgender Muslims. It was founded in 1997 by Faisal Alam, a Pakistani American, and is registered as a nonprofit organization in the United States. Imam Daayiee Abdullah is also a board member of the Al-Fatiha Foundation.

## History

The organization grew out of an internet listserve that brought together many gay, lesbian, and questioning Muslims from 25 countries, and by 1998 had developed numerous in-person chapters. Al-Fatiha has 14 chapters in the United States, as well as offices in England, Canada, Spain, Turkey, and South Africa.

The name means "the Opening" and is shared with Al-Fatiha or the first surah of the Qur'an. In the beginning of that surah, Allah is described as compassionate and merciful; the organization's founders believe that these attributes characterize Islam, rather than hatred and homophobia.

Each year, Al-Fatiha hosts an international membership retreat and conference. Early conferences took place in Boston, New York, and London in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and focused on issues such as the reconciliation of religion and sexual orientation.

Japanese garden

is a traditional kind of garden in Japan.  The garden is made to be like a small landscape.  The basic principle of a Japanese garden is to create harmony and balance.

## History

The oldest Japanese text on garden-making is _Sakuteiki_ (_Records of Garden Making_). The work was based on oral traditions which were published for the first time in the 11th century.

## Types

There are many types of Japanese gardens, for example,

- The contemplation or thinking style of garden (_kanshō_) is designed to be studied and enjoyed from one specific place. An example of a _kanshō_ garden is the rock and raked gravel garden at Ryōan-ji in Kyoto.

- The stroll or walking style of garden (_shūyū_) is intended to be looked at from a path.  The garden is discovered as the viewer walks along the path. An example of a _shūyū_ garden is at Ginkaku-ji in Kyoto.

- The boating or pleasure-boat style of garden (_funasobi_) is centered on a large pond.  The best views are seen from a boat in the pond.  An example of a _funasobi_ gardem is at Byōdō-in at Uji, which is near Kyoto.

- Many-pleasure style of garden (_kaiyū_) has a central pond and many paths. It combines aspects of _kanshō_, _shūyū_ and _funasobi_ gardens.  An example of a _kaiyū_ garden is at Katsura Imperial Villa.

Queso fresco

**Queso fresco** (Spanish: fresh/natural cheese), also known as **queso blanco** (white cheese) is one of many varieties of Mexican cheeses (Oaxaca, Menonita, Panela, etc.).
Aluminum wiring

**Aluminum wiring** is electrical wiring made of aluminum, instead of the usual copper. It is widely and successfully used for electricity transmission and distribution. It is lighter  and stronger than copper wire, which helps prevent the cables from sagging. It is also less expensive than copper wire. It has also been successfully used in aircraft wiring. In the 1960s, with the rising price of copper, electricians started to use it to wire homes and other buildings. Aluminum wiring was not successful in this application and it is a major safety problem. Because of the safety problems with aluminum wiring, it was discontinued for building wiring in the mid-1970s. Over time, aluminum wiring can separate from the screws on electrical outlets, switches, or lights, creating a poor connection, which causes the wire to heat up. The heat can cause the aluminum to oxidize, creating an even worse connection and more heat, which can eventually start a fire. Incorrect repairs to aluminum wiring, such as connecting aluminum wire to copper wire with twist-on wire connectors, can make the problem even worse. Even twist-on connectors designed to connect aluminum to copper can be dangerous. The only proper way to repair aluminum wiring is to connect it to copper "tails" (short pieces of copper wire) with crimped or screw-on connectors specifically designed for this purpose.
