Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pendulum & Fresh (ft $Pyda & Tenor Fly)'s song "Fasten Your Seatbelt" are a warning to a "sound boy" who is too young and inexperienced to play the kind of music he is attempting to play. The phrase "Combination style" suggests that the boy is mixing different styles of music together, but perhaps not doing it in a skillful or appropriate way. The repeated refrain to "fasten your seat belts" is a nod to the intensity and high-energy of the music that is about to be played.


The warning to the sound boy can be interpreted as a cautionary tale for anyone who is over-reaching their abilities or trying to play in a space that is not yet their own. The repeated use of the phrase "combination style" also can be seen as a nod to the creativity and possibility that opens up when different styles of music are mixed together. The song as a whole could be seen as both a call to caution, but also a celebration of experimentation and exploration in music.

New and technically original idea - hand water pump with a pendulum - provides alleviation of work, because it is enough to move the pendulum occasionally with a little finger to pump the water, instead of large swings. Using the minimum of human strength in comparison to present classic hand water pumps enables efficient application in irrigation of smaller lots, for water-wells and extinguishing fires even by old people and children, which was proved by a large number of interested future consumers during the presentations

The goal of this work is to summarize the findings from previous
papers along with some additional comments and also to answer two basic
questions: how to construct an efficient Veljko Milkovic two-stage
oscillator and how to measure the quotient of efficiency of the
constructed oscillator. The goal of this paper is to explain all the
facts about construction and measuring in order to facilitate other
people's efforts towards a replication embodying a high efficiency
quotient.
