Kopi (drink)
Kopi (from Coffee) is a type of traditional coffee originating from Singapore. It is a highly caffeinated black coffee served with milk and sugar. This drink has Hainanese roots, being also otherwise known as Nanyang coffee. Nanyang means ‘South Sea’ in Mandarin, and usually references to lands within Maritime Southeast Asia that are located south of the islands of Hainan and Taiwan.
The coffee is recognized to be culturally significant and part of the everyday diet and lifestyle of many Singaporeans. It is habitual for Singaporeans of all ethnicities and ages to customize their Kopi using the Hokkien dialect. The coffee is also popular in Malaysia.

The Singapore coffee is distinct from other types of coffee due to its roasting process and preparation technique involving a variation of the Torrefacto method. It is usually served in coffee shops, Hawker centre and kopitiams. There are also many commercial brands that have emerged specializing in serving the traditional coffee with pairings of local fare such as kaya toast and laksa. Concerns over the elevation of diabetes cases, have caused the creation of government-led nationwide campaigns in Singapore to reduce sugar intake, especially with regard to sweet drinks or drinks that add sugar such as Kopi O. This has the potential to affect the consumption of Kopi O. The significance of Kopi in Singapore’s culture can be found in greater detail in Singapore’s only Kopi museum.

Igloohome — A smart lock for a smarter home

Anthony Chow, a Singaporean who studied electrical engineering and machine learning at Stanford University, designed the Deadbolt 02 with Igloohome co-founders, Kevin Ho and Walter Wang Yue.

While staying in the US, Chow and his friends were avid Airbnb hosts who faced a key problem: access. They had to spend the time to pass keys to their guests, which was tough when guests arrived at odd hours. When guests lost their keys, they had to change locks.

Sound Blaster the Creative Soundblaster sound card. Long, long ago, our computers could only make sounds like a “beep” or two “beeps”. Long ago, each individual part like the sounds, keyboards, mouse and whatnot all require hardware and software. For example, for a computer to have sounds, it needs a “sound card”.
Then Sim Wong Hoo, the founder of Creative and no doubt the most recognized entrepreneur in Singapore, came and changed the “beep” to, well, any sound you want. This was the Creative Soundblaster sound card and it put Singapore on the world map. But just like any technology-based product, it was slowly killed off by new technology, but during its peak, it was the Apple of Singapore.

TOILET TALK

Going to the toilet and washing are basic human needs. Living before the invention of flushing toilets, efficient sewerage systems and instant hot water, medieval people devised some ingenious ways of coping without them.

In most castles and manor houses, the usual toilet was the 'garderobe'. This was a tiny room with a seat pierced by a hole through which the waste dropped into a moat or straight onto the ground. An unfortunate servant nicknamed 'the gong [dung] farmer' had the smelly job of clearing it away. You can inspect (but not try out!) garderobes at many of our sites, including Aydon Castle and Peveril Castle.

Many monasteries, however, developed a more efficient means of sewage disposal, building their communal toilets above streams or specially created watercourses which (hopefully) carried away the 'product'. You can see communal monastic toilets at Muchelney Abbey and Castle Acre Priory, and drainage channels at many sites including Rievaulx Abbey - which also has a sink where the monks did their laundry.

Water for washing would normally be brought from wells by servants. But a few castles, mansions and monasteries boasted cold water piped either from streams or rainwater tanks on the roof; at Conisbrough Castle, rainwater fed sinks in the lord's and lady's chambers in the keep.

KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOUR

Knights - armoured men on horseback - were the most iconic invention of the Middle Ages. The arrival of Norman knights in 1066 signalled the start of the medieval period, and over the next 450 years their armour and weapons were ingeniously updated to make them more powerful and less vulnerable fighting machines.

Used to fighting on foot, Harold Godwinson's English army at the Battle of Hastings had never encountered mounted knights before, and despite valiant resistance couldn't withstand them. During the following 200 years the open-faced helmets, kite-shaped shields and mail shirts of Norman knights developed into stronger and more elaborate armour. You can see effigies of 13th-century knights at Furness Abbey. They wear helmets completely covering their heads, and their faces couldn't be recognised. So another medieval invention, heraldry, assigned each knight his own unique heraldic 'arms', devices painted on his shield, banner and surcoat to instantly identify him in battle.

Weighty chain mail was gradually replaced by lighter yet stronger steel plate armour: the knight in Farleigh Hungerford Castle chapel wears a mixture of the types. Fear of the deadly longbow made later medieval knights abandon their vulnerable horses in battle; they fought on foot in complete plate armour, encased from head to toe in shining steel.

Vacuum – 1908
* James Murray Spangler invented the electric vacuum cleaner. The first model used a broomstick, pillow, and a box containing an electric motor and fan. He applied for a patent in 1908. William Hoover helped finance its development for the mass market.

WEAPONS OF MASS PRODUCTION

The most feared English weapon of the Middle Ages was the longbow. With a range of well over 200 metres, this 'medieval machine gun', could shoot at least six arrows a minute. Since bows date from prehistoric times, it wasn't exactly a new invention. But really powerful longbows apparently developed on the Welsh borders from the late 12th century. Their greatest triumph was the Battle of Agincourt (1415), when English archers were chiefly responsible for French casualties of 10,000, compared to a few hundred English.

The longbow's success depended on strength and training. Few people today could even draw a medieval 'war bow', something medieval archers regularly practiced from early boyhood.

The gunpowder-powered cannon which developed in the later medieval period were more ingeniously-made, but could be more dangerous to users, since they regularly exploded. They were also very difficult to move about. Although used in some sieges (as of Dunstanburgh Castle), early cannons were more effective inside castles, shooting through 'gunports' as in Carisbrooke Castle's gatehouse. Towards the end of the middle ages Berry Pomeroy Castle had gunports angled to mow down attackers in wide swathes, while nearby Dartmouth Castle pioneered heavy 'ship-sinking' guns. Steadily growing safer for users and deadlier to enemies, cannons were the weapons of the future.

QUINK QUICK DRYING INK- The Quink quick drying ink' was invented by Francisco Quisumbing, a chemist. It was an innovative ink at that time and was further developed to work with Parker Pens. Aside from being quick drying, it was also water-resistant, did not clog the pen opening, does not blot and will not fade. It was manufactured in four colors - black, green, red and blue. It is considered as one if the best selling ink for fountain pens of the millennium.

PATIS- (fish sauce) has been around for less than 100 years. It was discovered by Aling Tentay, also known as Ruperta David after the Japanese occupation. Aling Tentay used the juice of fish fragments from the dried fish they sell in the market. After some modifications, patis was invented. It was registered in 1949 as a product of Tentay Food and Sauces. Its pungent saltiness has become the basis of Vietnamese and Thai fish sauce, which they consume and incorporate in their menus

KARAOKE- The musical inclination of Pinoys has spurred Roberto del Rosario to invent the karaoke sing-along system. Karaoke is actually a Japanese term which means to sing along to a popular record with its original vocals removed. His sing along system was a compact audio device that had a microphone, an amplifier speaker, cassette tape mechanisms, a microphone mixer that had features that enhanced voice, and an optional radio tuner. This machine was originally designed as a teaching device for students enrolled in voice lessons.
