To visit the falls at a comfortable pace you need about 6 hours in the low season or 8 hours in the high season.
The Great Adventure Boat Trip is located inside the park, and takes 1.5 hours.
Speed Boat Under the Falls (Argentine Side of Falls) - The Great Adventure
This activity will give you a taste of not only the waterfalls from below, but also the jungle inside the national park. As well as experiencing the thrill of speed boating on rapids created by the falls, you will also enjoy an open air drive through the jungle with explanations in English. Not getting wet isn't an option as the boat takes you under the falls, but to keep your belongings dry, you are provided with a waterproof bag that easily fits a carry on bag and other items.

First things first, we would like to thank all participants for the wonderful projects provided for the CATIA Design Contest "Seating Experience – When Shape meets Function"! Great job 😀
Then, we are pleased to announce and congratulate our winner Vinay Reddy for his "SPACE TIME" Seating Experience Project!
Vinay Reddy is coming from Bangalore, India. He is interested in many topics including Product Design, Industrial Design, Product Design, Social Innovation, Affordable Healthcare, Solar lighting and Energy! Vinay is particularly motivated by the creation of innovative products. Both contemporary and aesthetic, his "SPACE TIME" project provides many features all the while saving space. It truly fits with the spirit of the CATIA Design Contest 2013 "When Shape meets Function"!
Vinay shared with us the creative process he followed to develop the "SPACE TIME" concept:
It took about 3 Weeks for Vinay to complete his project : about 2 weeks for idea development and concepts generation; and another week to finish modeling, rendering and presentations. Vinay has been using CATIA for over a year, he got to learn how to use it during a previous work experience at Ashok Leyland — designing automotive components. He is familiar with surface and solid modeling. He used the CATIA V5 – Mechanical Design workshop to design "SPACE TIME".
Last but not least, we have the great pleasure to give away to the TOP 3 Seating Experience projects a 3D print of their respective seats! 🙂
Arnaud is a member of the CATIA – Creative Design team

We Know that all closed subsets of a compact topological space $(X,\tau)$ are compact. But if we add The Hausdorff condition on the topology $\tau$ we could see the equivalence of these subsets.(i.e. in compact Hausdourff spaces closed subsets are the same as compact subsets)
Know for asking the converse of the above fact we could or not omit the compactness of the space$(X,\tau)$ as follows:
(STATEMENT) If all compact subsets of a topological space $(X,\tau)$ are closed then $(X,\tau)$ is Hausdorff.
If the above statement is not valid, Is there a separation axiom weaker than Hausdorffness on the space $X$ that compact subsets are closed?
For the first statement If we add the condition of compactness of $(X,\tau)$, it changes as follows:
- Is The space $(X,\tau)$ Hausdorff,If closed subsets and compact subsets are equivalent in $X$?

• 1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 cup Orange juice + 2 tablespoons Chia = Chia gel
• 1 tablespoon Mesquite
• 1 pinch Himalayan salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 3 dried, soft Apricots
• 2 teaspoons Agave nectar
• 4-5 tablespoons Water
Grind the Pumpkin seeds into a flour. Add the Chia to the Orange juice and stir, let it soak for about 10 minutes. Now add the Pumpkinseed flour and Chia gel with the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and process until you have a rather loose dough.
Spread the dough evenly on a teflex sheet using a spatula, put on a mesh tray and let it dry in the dehydrator for 8 hours. Remove the teflex sheet after about 6 hours. You do this by carefully folding the side of the teflex sheet underneath the dough, and slowly pull it to expose. Or, put another tray on top and flip!
When the dough has become "leather like", use a heart shaped cookie cutter and start stamping the dough!
Melted Chocolate
• 2 tablespoons virgin Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons raw Cacao powder
• 1 tablespoon Agave nectar
Melt the Coconut oil in a water bath or in the dehydrator. Add the Cacao and Agave, stir by hand. Wait until the chocolate thickens before you dip the hearts. Sprinkle some Chia seeds over the chocolate covered hearts before the chocolate hardens so they stick to the chocolate.

Who is William Marrion Branham? In the late 1940's, his healing ministry skyrocketed him from a pastor in a small church outside Louisville, Kentucky to an international evangelist. However, as his ministry progressed his visions and doctrine became increasingly controversial until his death on December 24, 1965.
The purpose of this website is to provide independent, objective, comprehensive information on William Branham and to ask questions about the facts that we have discovered. At one time this website was not objective in our approach and for that we humbly apologize to our readers. Click on the links below to go to our detailed articles on a variety of subjects related to his life and ministry, his claims, the beliefs of his followers, and the criticisms of his detractors.
Luke made it clear that we should look for proof that what we believe is true in Luke 1:1-5 and Acts 1:1-3:
We believe that all of the evidence presented on this website is trustworthy. However, we have tried to provide all of the necessary footnotes and references from where we obtained this evidence so that you, our readers, can confirm it independently on your own. Look at the evidence, verify it, and try to answer the questions that we have raised.
On January 14, 2016 we issued "A Scriptural Challenge to Followers of William Branham" and have not yet received a single response. We are still waiting...
We pray that the contents of this website would speak to your soul, and lead you closer to Jesus Christ.
Why are people continuing to leave the message in unprecedented number? Come listen to interviews with former message ministers such as Jeff Jenkins and James Rozak, as well as the authors of websites such as searchingforvindication.com, as they tell their stories of why they could not continue to follow the message of William Branham. The Off The Shelf podcast is about taking important scriptural issues "off the shelf" and examining what it means to be a true follower of Jesus in the context of scripture and the message of William Branham.

- Dragoon pilot(src)
The dragoon is a type of protoss quadrupedal assault walker. Following the Brood War, they were succeeded by the immortal and to a lesser extent, the stalker.
Dragoons are about as tall as a terran wearing CMC armor.[1] The dragoon's phase disruptor fires antimatter bolts sheathed in psychically charged fields. A similar weapon is used by the photon cannon.[2] The phase disruptor is able to swivel around.[1] The quadrupedal walker moves efficiently over unstable terrain.[3] The walker's plasma shield generator is located at its base.[1]
Pilots and Control
Dragoon pilots were generally grievously wounded veteran templars retrieved from the battlefield.[4][2] Some of the most revered protoss warriors have been placed in dragoons,[1] and dragoon pilots were renowned for their intelligence in battle.[5]
Selected protoss were transplanted into the exoskeleton's core. By the time of the Great War the core was a fluid container and the pilot was submerged within. Catastrophic damage frequently resulted in the tank being breached and the contents spilling out. The pilot's mind interfaced directly with the machine through mysterious essence translators with the use of the Khala.[6] The end result was that pilots controlled their exoskeletons as a natural extension of their bodies[2] using the walker's advanced hydraulic-psionic mobility systems. Once inside the core, the pilot would remain in the tank for the rest of their life.[1]
A sacred shrine on Aiur was dedicated to the creation and maintenance of the dragoons. The loss of the shrine after the Great War made it difficult to create new dragoons. In the interim the surviving dragoons were upgraded into immortals to preserve their numbers.[7] Since the fall of Aiur, no new dragoons have been built.[1] Furthermore, the Nerazim stalker, which was inspired by the dragoon,[8] has largely supplanted the walker within protoss ground forces. However, the Terran Dominion has theorized that the lost dragoon technology may be recoverable, as the protoss are known to have embedded highly secure vaults in core facilities on Aiur, and that dragoon process plans may have survived the zerg's rampage.[1]
As with other protoss technology, terran groups conducted research into the mechanics of the dragoon. The Kimeran Pirates stole (among other things) a data file titled "Utilizing Dragoon Technology For Human Reconstruction" from a Confederate remnant installation following the Brood War.[9]
Dragoon technology was recovered by the Daelaam during the Reclamation of Aiur.[10] However due their Khala integration the majority fell under Amon's control when the Khala was corrupted.[11] Dragoons that predated Khala integration were discovered among the forces in stasis aboard the Spear of Adun, and were fielded by the Daelaam throughout the End War.[12]
Other Information
The following article or section contains lore from the StarCraft RPG, which is not regarded as canon. Elements may be regarded as 'flavor lore' however.
On occasion, able templar would become pilots. The pilots were honored in protoss society but their status sometimes marked them as outsiders. [13]

What began as a tragedy for one family has turned into a legacy of giving to children who need strength, hope and joy in their lives. When longtime Make-A-Wish® supporters Ned and Suzie Allen lost their grandson Chip in 2003, they were devastated.
But despair quickly turned into determination when the Allens established a memorial fund. The fund provided a way to keep Chip's memory alive — along with the dreams of children with life-threatening medical conditions. "With an endowment, the money would be there in perpetuity, and we wanted Chip's name to live on," Suzie said.
The Allens had supported Make-A-Wish in the past, and they wanted to ensure that their giving would last beyond their lifetime. Thanks to the Allens' gift, the Chip Allen Memorial Fund provides the resources to grant two wishes every year. The Allens are committed to helping the fund grow every year, leaving a lasting legacy in honor of Chip.
For every little child we help through Make-A-Wish, we are making a friend for Chip in heaven.

Chemical Processes & Instrument Development
Dr. Ranajit K Talukdar was a research scientist in NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, USA. His research focused on laboratory studies and instrument development to improve our understanding of tropospheric and stratospheric chemical processes, regional and global air quality, and climate and their impact on society. It involved the studies of gas phase and heterogeneous reactions (e.g., the gas-to-liquid and gas-to-solid phase reactions). This includes both daytime and nighttime atmospheric chemical processes. Recent research projects include (1) reactive and non-reactive uptake of trace atmospheric species such as nitrogen oxides and halogenated inorganic compounds on pure liquid and HCl doped sulfuric acid under atmospheric conditions, nitration reaction of amino acids and related protiens, liquid phase reactions of various oxygenated volatile organic compounds and amines of atmospheric importance; (2) reaction of HOx with oxygenated hydrocarbons; and (3) measurements of reaction rate coefficients, interpretation of reaction mechanisms, photolysis quantum yields, and reaction yields. Various experimental techniques, such as pulsed laser photolysis- pulsed laser induced fluorescence, in the ultraviolet and visible region, chemical ionization mass spectrometry, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are employed to accomplish this goal. New experimental techniques have been developed to study the gas-to-liquid phase reactions using online FTIR and electrospray mass spectrometry.
Current Interests
Heterogeneous reactions and homogeneous gas phase reactions using Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry (CIMS) and Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESIMS)
Identify chemical compositions of atmospheric aerosols, both organic and inorganic components

More money must be ploughed into the NHS or there could be "significant cuts to services", a health charity has warned.
The King's Fund said the next government will need to find more funds for the health service or accept the cuts.
The warning comes after its latest report on NHS finances, which paints a bleak picture for the future.
A poll of 74 NHS trust finance directors and 47 clinical commissioning group (CCG) finance leads found that only two in five hospital financial bosses are confident their organisation will achieve financial balance in 2014/15. And only 16% believe this will be achieved in 2015/16.
Meanwhile only a third of finance leads for CCGs are sure they will balance the books in 2015/16, according to the health care charity's latest report.
The report suggests that there is a "looming" financial crisis in the NHS. It claims that the lack of confidence about future finances is partly to do with concerns about the Better Care Fund - which will draw £1.9 billion of funds from the NHS to support joined up working between health and social care services from April 2015.
Richard Murray, director of policy at The King's Fund, said: "The NHS has coped well during the winter and avoided the A&E crisis that was so widely predicted.
"However, as the implications for hospitals of implementing the Better Care Fund sink in, there is a growing recognition that the NHS will face a financial crisis in 2015/16, if not before.
"It is now certain that the next government will need to find more funding for the NHS or accept significant cuts to services."
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said that patients must not be made to pay for the NHS financial crisis. Dr Peter Carter, chief executive and general secretary of the RCN, said: "The NHS is currently managing to deliver for patients only by overstretching its staff and pushing the limits of its budget.
"This is not sustainable and the NHS must listen to the concerns of its clinical staff as well as its finance directors.
"Patients must not pay for the NHS's financial crisis. Funds should be spent intelligently, by delivering care close to home and keeping patients with long-term conditions well and out of hospital. In the long term, this is the only way for the NHS to adapt to the needs of an ageing population.
"The NHS may have dodged a bullet with a mild winter, but it still needs to work together as one service to be able to respond to whatever is thrown at it over the coming years. It will not be well placed to do this if it is permanently on the edge of a financial cliff."
Labour said that health service finances have "deteriorated on the Government's watch" but the Department of Health said it is taking action to address deficits.
Labour's shadow minister for care and older people Liz Kendall said: "Today's warning from The King's Fund of a looming 'financial crunch' confirms Labour's warnings that the NHS's finances have deteriorated badly on this Government's watch.
"NHS Trust deficits are growing and there are now twice as many Foundation Trusts in the red compared to this time last year.
"When the NHS faces the biggest financial challenge of its life, David Cameron should have been laser-focused on reforming frontline services to deliver better care and better value for money. Instead he forced through a massive backroom reorganisation that's been a damaging distraction, wasted billions of pounds and weakened the grip on NHS finances too."
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "As this report acknowledges, the NHS is performing well and meeting demand, despite increasing pressures on services.
"We recognise the scale of the financial challenge that trusts are facing and are taking action to address deficits, including putting recovery plans in place.
"We are clear that NHS trusts must meet their statutory duty to balance the books, and we remain confident that the NHS will have a balanced budget at the end of this financial year."

DEFIANT Rafael Benitez insists his team are "doing well" despite Chelsea's embarrassing League Cup semi-final first-leg defeat to Swansea at Stamford Bridge.
Benitez was yet again subjected to a torrent of abuse from the Chelsea faithful as they watched their side drift towards an exit from the competition thanks to goals from Michu and Danny Graham.
Benitez came under fire for failing to start Demba Ba and Frank Lampard while Chelsea's supporters sang "You're not welcome" at the Spaniard and called for the return of the his predecessor Roberto Di Matteo.
The former Liverpool boss has become used to barracking from the terraces in west London and was happy to dodge the issue last night.
He refused to single out any of his players for criticism and remained firmly upbeat about Chelsea's predicament, adding that his team can still overturn the two-goal deficit and make next month's final at Wembley.
"Swansea have a great advantage, but if we go there and score one goal we can see what happens," Chelsea's interim manager said.
"The team is doing a lot of good things and hopefully we can carry on improving."
Swansea barely had to work for their win last night. Errors from Branislav Ivanovic gifted the visitors both their goals and the rest of the Blues side, with the exception of David Luiz, performed poorly.
Fernando Torres had one of the worst games of his woeful spell at Stamford Bridge, touching the ball just 19 times during his 81 minutes on the pitch, none of which tested Gerhard Tremmel in the Swansea goal.
It was only when Ba was introduced with 10 minutes to go that Chelsea sprung in to life. The former Newcastle striker, who scored twice on his debut last weekend, went close with two efforts, had a goal ruled out for a marginal offside call, and also had a decent penalty shout turned down at the death.
Benitez refused to hit out at his players for their collective performance, though, insisting he was relatively happy with their efforts.
The Spaniard said: "The team are doing well. You can lose a game and then analyse it, but if you play this game 10 times maybe you will win nine of them.
"I think the team were doing really well, had a lot of chances and could have scored two or three in the first half, but we made two mistakes and paid for them.
"I can see any player making mistakes and it's not an issue. It's about trying to do things afterwards, and Ivanovic tried his best. We carried on and tried to do the right things."
One crumb of comfort for the interim manager is that he may have John Terry available for selection again soon.
The Blues skipper has been absent since he suffered knee ligament damage in November, but he is expected to play in their U21 game against Fulham this evening.
Should he come through the match, Benitez may consider recalling Terry for this weekend's game against Stoke.

In the May 2014 issue of Camaro Performers magazine, we featured Mike Benge's nicely done, black '92 Z28. In this issue, we're featuring Mike's son James' white third-gen. You might come to the conclusion that James' '91 is the Yin to his dad's '92's Yang. Well, that could certainly be one way to look at it, but as James told us, the contrast between the two cars wasn't a conscious part of the plan. "My dad drove my car to a show for me, and soon after decided to get one for himself. It just so happened that the Z28 he found was black. It's really cool that we can work on our cars and hit shows together. And being they are both very nice third-gens, these cars get a lot of attention, and that just adds to the fun."
"I already have a street/strip '84 Camaro that runs 10s, but with no A/C, heater, or power steering it's only fun to drive for relatively short periods of time," said James. "Add in the spool, 4.30 gears, and 5-7 mpg, and the fun factor goes away real quick."
With his race car fix handled, he wanted a more sedate, street-friendly third-gen he could cruise around town in. "I looked for over a year before finding this car," tells James. "Through the classifieds on thirdgen.org, this low-mileage (66k) Z28 came up. It was in Lafayette, Indiana, and the Carfax report revealed it had spent most of its life in California. The underbody was as clean as the top side, and the interior was near perfect. The price was right, so buying it was an easy decision."
Although the car had a few mechanical issues, James had it running like a top in a matter of a few months. "Once I got the car more reliable, I drove it to cruise-ins, and to work on a daily basis. I even took it out to the dragstrip just to see what a stock L98 would run," reports James. "It ran 14.20 at 97 mph. Not fast by today's standards, but pretty solid for a stock car."
Although there's an LS1 awaiting transplant in the wings, for now the stock 350 rests between the 'rails with the only aftermarket engine mod being a K&N air filter. James got a custom chip burned to turn on the fans sooner, deleted VATS, but kept the stock tune. The estimated horsepower is 245 at 4,400 rpm and the torque is rated at 345 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm. Now, this car won't wake up the neighbors or even a sleeping baby for that matter, but that's not what this ride is about. With that said, the stock 700-R4 and 10-bolt rearend are all intact. And the tall 3.23 gears? Yep, still in the mix.
For increased attitude and improved handling, James cut 1.5 inches from the springs then bolted on a set of Koni adjustable shocks on all four corners. With the help of Shawn Lair's welding skills, UMI subframe connectors went in next, followed up by tubular lower control arms and a tubular Panhard rod. Not a fan of the stock wheels, James styled up the ride with a set of polished Billet Specialties rollers (17x8 front, 17x9.5 rear) and wrapped them up in Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500 rubber (245/45-17 front, 275/40-17 rear).
Although the paint was relatively solid, being over 20 years old meant it was probably time to take it to the next level. With the body already in great shape, Dan Moran at Carss Collison Auto Repair in Thornton, Indiana, gave the exterior a good scuff then laid down a fresh coat of PPG Arctic White pigment.
The interior retains all of the original bits, including the medium gray cloth covering. Even the factory CD player still rests in the dash. How's that for keeping that '90's flair intact?
James was surprised and honored to receive a Moderator's Choice award at the Camaro5fest in Indy last year, especially being at an event centered around the fifth-gen Camaro. Hitting local shows and cruise-ins with his dad and his '92 "Z" is what he enjoys most about having the car.
With an LS1 soon to take up residence under the hood, no doubt this stellar third-gen will take on a whole new personality in the power and driveability department. He might even be able to keep up with that black Camaro cruising right next to him.

TORONTO - Ontario's top cop has taken to YouTube to defend provincial police handling of Idle No More demonstrations and blockades, saying it fits into an overall strategy that's difficult to explain to the public.
In a video message posted Tuesday, Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Chris Lewis responded to criticism of what some perceive as a failure to end rail blockades and other protest disruptions.
He pointed to the OPP's framework for police preparedness for aboriginal critical incidents, which was developed in the aftermath of the 1995 police shooting death of native protester Dudley George at Ipperwash Park. It stresses negotiation and minimal use of force.
"These concepts and strategies developed from experience, hard work and common sense are difficult and complex to explain to the general public," Lewis said in the video.
"I totally understand that."
An Ontario judge who has issued two injunctions to end blockades of critical rail arteries, including one in OPP jurisdiction, slammed police last week for not enforcing the injunctions right away to end the aboriginal protests.
Superior Court Judge David Brown ordered a small group of protesters who blocked the railway near Kingston, Ont., affecting freight and passenger train service between Toronto and Montreal, to leave in a few hours.
But, Brown said, the OPP officer on the scene of the blockade told the sheriff it was "too dangerous" to serve the injunction that night on the 15 protesters and suggested it be done the next morning.
That came after another similar injunction issued by Brown to end a First Nations blockade of a rail line in Sarnia, Ont., wasn't enforced for two weeks by Sarnia police. Brown did not mince words in his ruling criticizing what he called police inaction.
"No person in Canada stands above or outside of the law," Brown said.
"Although that principle of the rule of law is simple, at the same time it is fragile. Without Canadians sharing a public expectation of obeying the law, the rule of law will shatter."
Lewis does not mention the judge or the court decision in his message, instead lamenting criticism "in the media" from "various pundits and commentators with their own agendas."
Public safety is the primary concern and Lewis trumpeted the fact that there haven't been any reports of injuries to protesters, police or members of the public at the protests in OPP jurisdiction.
"There may be situations requiring our immediate enforcement action and we will at times do so, but otherwise we will continue to investigate these incidents and lay charges after the event where appropriate."
No one from the OPP communications department was immediately available Tuesday to say whether any charges have been laid after Idle No More blockades or protests.
The Idle No More movement began last month in protest of a federal government omnibus bill that First Nations groups say threatens their treaty rights set out in the Constitution.
Police services are not able to solve those longtime disputes, Lewis said. The commissioner said he would rather be criticized for a decision not to jeopardize people's lives than for taking "unnecessary, aggressive action that undoubtedly will."
"First Nations have the ability to paralyze this country by shutting down travel and trade routes," he said.
"It is a difficult situation no matter how we view or address it."

Chickened out and spent way more money than I had in my allowance fund. I ordered the HK P30 in .40S&W, set up the meeting with the FFL guy and then decided to stop by the gun store. Right there is where I went wrong, I started talking to him about this and that, so I asked him if anything "interesting" had come in lately. He said something to the effect of, you like those German guns don't you...and I had immediate thoughts of a nice Walter P-38 coming out of the gun vault and then he ruined it by telling me that someone had just traded an HK VP9 in 9mm in FDE for a Black Glock G19 Gen 5.emclean wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 8:11 amjust something i do to all my friends, find guns they didn't know they wanted, and point them outLaager wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 5:47 pmemclean

I'd say I was dumbfounded but I guess it is just a case of to each their own or something like that. So for $500.00 out the door I put it on lay a way. I would prefer the 9mm over the .40S&W for her, since she is still pretty young and more than likely she will eventually get either the HK USP or the HK P30 or all three.
It is not like I can really take them all with me, and so far she seems to be what I would consider a good kid. Stays out of trouble, pretty much, studies hard, works hard, practices good firearms handling and more importantly cleans her own firearms after a day at the range or whenever I tell her she needs too. Which is usually before we go shooting and after we go shooting.
I still have dreams of my M16 and how temperatmental the darn thing was.....probably why I like the heavy caliber Battle Rifles. Still I do have some ARs and while I have not had any real issues with them, I do admit to "waiting" for them to have issues and cleaning them every chance I can.

AbstractThe goal of every golfer is to hit the golf ball as far as possible down the fairway. A key factor in determining the distance that the ball will travel is the velocity of the club when it strikes the ball. In this sports science fair project, you will determine exactly how distance is related to club velocity. Time to tee off!
Determine how club head velocity affects shot distance.

If you watch any golf on television, you have seen Tiger Woods drive a golf ball, often for well over 300 yards. What are the key factors that affect the distance the ball travels after Tiger, or any golfer, hits the ball? Some of the key factors are where the ball strikes the club face (preferably the "sweet spot"); the loft, or face angle, of the club; and the velocity of the club head at impact. But it is actually the momentum of the golf club head that really matters. Momentum takes the mass of the club head into account. The momentum of the club head equals its velocity times its mass:
Equation 1:
- P = Momentum
- M = Mass of the club head
- V = Velocity
When the golf club head strikes the golf ball, it transfers some of its momentum to the golf ball. Momentum has a very special quality: it is conserved. That means that the momentum gained by the golf ball must be accounted for in momentum lost by the golf club. In theory, there will be no overall loss of momentum in the process of hitting the ball, but in reality some momentum is lost to friction, the change of shape of the golf ball after it is hit, and other factors. But for the purposes of this science fair project, you will assume that the momentum of the ball equals the momentum change of the club.
Equation 2:
The golf ball will go farther if the momentum of the club head is increased, either by increasing its mass or by increasing its velocity. Clearly, you can only increase the mass a certain amount before the club becomes difficult to handle (most modern drivers have a club head mass of around 200 grams). So increasing the golf club head velocity is the most practical way to increase drive distance. The video below shows how you can change your golf swing in order to increase the club head's velocity.
The goal of this sports science project is to measure the actual velocity of the golf head and determine how that velocity affects the distance the ball travels. You will use a specialized radar device to measure golf club head velocity. Luckily, the distance traveled by the ball is easy to measure if you have a driving range nearby! Let's tee off and get this project started.

- Try different clubs. Does the loft (face angle) affect the results? Hint: You could graph the loft angle on the y-axis and the distance on the x-axis, keeping the swing speed constant.
- How does club speed relate to the golf ball's time of flight (i.e., how long the ball is in the air)? Use a stopwatch to measure time of flight.
- Devise a way to measure the velocity of the golf ball right after it is hit. Graph club velocity vs. ball velocity. Use this data to calculate the final velocity of the club head. Hint: See the equations in the websites listed in the Bibliography.
- Have your helpers also hit golf balls and graph the data for these strokes too. Does the distance the ball travels depend only on the club speed, or do different people get different distances even when the club speeds are the same?
- Measure the exact distance the balls traveled using a surveyors wheel. You will need to obtain permission at the driving range or perform the procedure in an open area where you can safely hit the golf balls.

Orange Business Services Taps Riverbed for SD-WAN
By Linda Hardesty, Managing Editor, SDxCentral
March 17, 2017 -- Orange Business Services has been using Riverbed Technologies to help manage cloud applications for its enterprise customers and for WAN optimization. Now, Orange is also working with Riverbed for its software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) service.
To deliver this SD-WAN service, Orange will integrate Riverbed's SteelConnect technology. The two companies are working together to develop a virtual network function (VNF) that customers will be able to deploy on universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) at their sites.
Phil Harris, general manager of service provider solutions at Riverbed, said that uCPE is essentially the same as off-the-shelf hardware.
Up to this point, Orange has offered an SD-WAN service using existing Cisco routers in its enterprise customers' branch offices. In October 2016 when SDxCentral spoke with John Isch, a practice director at Orange Business Services, he said the company was hesitant to add hardware to branch offices. Isch said many customers want to extend the life of their Cisco routers, and by adding code to the router to offload some traffic to broadband, Orange could provide an SD-WAN solution.
But now, Orange is partnering with Riverbed for a more robust SD-WAN that includes cloud connectivity.
Riverbed's SD-WAN offering — SteelConnect — does real-time traffic routing using the optimum connections between different networks to improve application performance. SteelConnect also enables zero-touch provisioning, allowing enterprises to set up global networks quickly and manage them through a self-serve portal.
In addition, SteelConnect allows branch offices to connect their application policies with cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
The first Orange pilot customers will be connected during the second quarter of 2017 using managed SteelConnect appliances. The VNF of the service is scheduled to be available at the end of 2017.
The SD-WAN launch is a key part of Orange's network-as-a-service strategy for its global enterprise customers.
In addition to SD-WAN, Riverbed is also working with Orange on other jointly developed products some of which may be based on Riverbed's new Service Delivery Platform, which it announced last month. The platform is designed to let service providers abstract the complexity associated with NFV and focus on services instead.
Riverbed set up a separate business unit focusing on service providers about six months ago. It includes product development and management, along with sales and marketing, all vertically integrated within the single business unit.

USB Host Controller IC - SOIC
Cliquer pour agrandir
USB Host Controller IC - SOIC
This is the 28 pin SMD (SOIC) microcontroller used in our USB Host Board. You can now use any of the firmware we have for the USB Host board by using this chip on your own PCB design.
The USB Host IC is a Microchip 24FJ64GB002 microcontroller which contains a built-in full-speed USB host controller. This allows it to interface with and control most types of USB slave device - flash drives, keyboards, digital cameras, bluetooth dongles, and much more through the use of our preprogrammed firmware. The IC has a bootloader installed and loading of different (or updated) firmware can be done over a simple serial connection.
The USB Host IC is designed to be as simple to use as possible. All of the complex USB programming is contained in the chip so there is NO USB coding required in your application. This saves valuable programming space and saves you from having to code and debug USB interface routines.
- Complete USB Software onboard. No USB coding required.
- Simple UART and I2C interfaces (depending on firmware loaded)
Easily updatable software includes
- Flash Memory Stick - Read and Write data to files on a USB flash drive
- USB Keyboard - Converts a standard USB keyboard into a serial TTL device generating ASCII characters. Also works with barcode scanners
- USB Joystick - Reads the control inputs and button presses from a USB Joystick. Data available via serial connection or using I2C. Great for robot projects
- USB Mouse - Read the movement and button clicks of a mouse via Serial TTL and I2C.
- PS3 Dual Shock Controller - Read the Joysticks, accelerometer, button pressure and buttons of a PS3 Dualshock Controller via Serial TTL and I2C. Set the LEDs and rumble motors.
- PS3 and PS4 Dual Shock Controller - Bluetooth - Connect to a PS3 or PS4 Dualshock Controller using its Bluetooth connection and read the Joysticks, accelerometer, button pressure and buttons via Serial TTL and I2C.
- Serial Driver for FTDI, CP210X, PL2303, CH340/1 and CDC - Allows you to connect a serial device that uses an FTDI, CP210X, PL2303, CH340/1 or CDC USB chipset to the Host Board and send and receive data.
- MIDI Device - Allows you to connect a MIDI device to the USB Host Board for 2-way communication using the MIDI message protocol
- USB Modem - Allows you to connect a certain USB Modems to the USB Host Board for SMS Text Messaging
- Easy to update the software using simple serial connection and built-in bootloader
- Works with both 5V and 3.3V systems
We have 2 wiring schematics available below. The first shows the minimal setup for the chip to function, while the other is the schematic for the USB Host Board which contains extra optional components.
The EEprom on the USB Host Board is not needed for normal functionality. All settings will be stored in flash memory on the chip itself if the eeprom is not detected. The reason for the eeprom on the board is that the flash memory is erased when new firmware is uploaded, so settings will be lost (the settings will go back to defaults). The eeprom on the board avoids this.
NOTE: As of 31 Mar 2015 the chips are programmed to use a 16MHz crystal rather than the original 8MHz
Microchip PIC 24FJ64GB002 Datasheet
Downloading Software to the IC
New software is easily installed over a serial RX/TX connection, so you will need an appropriate connection to your computer. We recommend the FTDI Basic breakout board but there are many similar boards and cables available.
Connect up the Power and GND lines, then connect the RX on the Host IC to TX on the FTDI board and TX on the Host IC to RX on the FTDI Board. You are now ready to install the new software.
To load the new software we use the free ds30loader application. This works with the bootloader on the Host board. Run the ds30loader application and...
- Select the hex file you wish to upload
- Set the device to be PIC24FJ and 64GB002
- Set Baud rate to 115200
- Set Port to your serial port connection
If you are having problems downloading the ds30Loader program from the authors website, you can download a copy from our website here.
Once you have these setup we just need to click the Write button (just below the Commands menu) and the software will attempt to connect to the bootloader and upload the new software. In order to make the bootloader active though, we need to reset the IC by briefly connecting the reset pin to GND. The reset pin is the pin 1 on the IC.
This needs to be done a short time after clicking the Write button.
See the screenshot below for an example.
The bootloader is an integral part of the code and the chip will no longer function.
The Bootloader program is part of our software anti-piracy feature - we do not make the bootloader program available for download.

Oily skin can often be seen as a negative thing because it can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, acne and even further aggravate skin problems.
It is true that for some people it is a blessing to have oily skin but on the most part a lot of us suffer because of it.
Your skin needs the oil in the first place to keep it supple, protected and lubricated but with all things in your body this can sometimes be a little out of whack which can lead to skin problems.
It may seem that removing as much oil as possible is the best way to get rid of oily skin but that isn't the case and will do way more harm than good.
Even though you have oily skin you still need to keep it well moisturized and using the right type of products for your skin type will help you keep the oil ratio well balanced.
ZENMED have several skin care products specially formulated for oily skin and all of which contain natural ingredients to help prevent further harm to the delicate balance of your skin's protective layer.
The Complete Oily Skin Kit is perfect if you want to really get on top of your oily skin and maintain healthy, radiant skin day and night.
You could also try the ZENMED Oil Free Daily Moisturizer which is ideal for use under makeup, perfect for sensitive skin, has the added protection of SPF 30 AND can be used on your face as well as your body!
How perfect is that?
Check out the video to see how much one of our customers really loves this product.
There are other things you need to consider when you want to get rid of oily skin and that's what you put into your body. The saying goes that what goes in must come out and that is kind of true for your skin too.
The more junk you put in your trunk the bigger the risk you pose to your skin's health.
I'm not just talking oily skin here, I'm talking the whole spectrum of skin problems from pimples to eczema.
Poor food choices also have an effect on your hormonal system which in turn has a negative effect on your skin so keep your nutrition fresh and natural.
The least bad fats you consume the better chances you have at getting rid of oily skin.

quote: I gave it another 20 pages and then threw the book down. Everyone I know was reading that book and I hated it. I never would have given that much time to someone who wasn't published. 20-50 pages would have been it for me.
quote: And I suppose the other thing is that an author like Miéville isn't really my cup of tea - while I quite like the very literate quality of his writing, his particular style - the New Wierd - I generally don't gel with. So I end up realising that while I do read widely, there are some things I don't enjoy which still appeal to another demographic of readers.
quote: Perdido Street Station is a wonderful book. In the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast, China Mieville recognizes how loose the plot was in that novel and his more recent works are much more tight. Yet the complaint about the divergent plotlines is what a lot of people liked about the book. There are no borders. Aside from structure, there are cactus people and humans having sex with bug people, daring the reader to continue.
quote:You might consider checking out the Bas-Lag novels, like Perdido Street Station.

Pentax Optio E30 Digital Camera Hands On Preview
The latest entry level model in Pentax's extensive line of point & shoot digital cameras is the Optio E30. As with any digital camera, there are pros and cons. This particular camera is considered "entry level", with a straighforward feature set, low price and ease of use as its selling points. It is simple to use, though it may be a bit too simplistic for more discerning photographers. Bottom line, the Optio E30 is great for those consumers getting their first digital camera.
(view large image)
(view large image)
As mentioned, the Optio E30 captures at a maximum resolution of 7.1 megapixels. It has a 2.4 inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, and records images and video to a Secure Digital format memory card (not included). It requires two AA batteries (two alkaline batteries included). It also accepts NiMH batteries, which can run significantly longer that alkaline.
When it comes to basic features of a camera, I was a bit surprised not to find a traditional viewfinder on this model. I suppose this is the tradeoff for a larger LCD. The problem arises when you take the camera outside – it's very difficult to preview your shot on the LCD in bright sunlight.
Another tradeoff is the weight of the AA batteries. With batteries and memory card, the Optio E30 tops out at 6.5 ounces, the heaviest point & shoot Pentax offers among 15 other models.
One thing you can definitely count on in using this camera is out-of-the-box ease of use. It features a "green mode" which allows users to quickly snap away without having to worry about settings. It essentially chooses the settings for you. Though you may not get the best quality pictures in this mode, you'd have to try to really screw them up.

Rick Barrett, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
In the Army, Matt Lengyel says, he was trained in the skills of the battlefield.
Now, as a teacher, he has brought other skills acquired as a combat engineer to the classroom.
Among them: leadership, discipline, problem-solving and the ability to work with others.
His Army experience, Lengyel said, gave him the mental and physical strength for many things that civilians couldn't do without rigorous training.
"Kids look up to me because of my military experience," said Lengyel, a math teacher at Right Step Academy in Milwaukee.
But some employers don't see it that way, and veterans don't always know how to translate their skills learned in the military for companies back home.
It's like they're talking in different languages, said Wendy Koppel, owner of Division 10 Personnel/Aero Staff, a Milwaukee employment agency that helps veterans and businesses connect with each other.
"It's a problem we would like to see resolved because veterans have such amazing skills, especially in mechanical and technical areas," Koppel said.
Moreover, if someone remains active in the National Guard or Reserves, the deployments and training schedule sometimes result in job losses and missed opportunities in their civilian career.
In 2011, the jobless rate for veterans ages 20 to 24 tripled to about 30%, according to Ted Daywalt, a veterans advocate from Georgia who has testified before the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
That's largely because many of these young men and women remained in the Guard and Reserve after they left active duty, and they were subject to lengthy deployments that interrupted their civilian careers.
Some Department of Defense officials have pretended the problem doesn't exist, said Daywalt, who runs an online employment service, VetJobs, that's partly owned by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
"That might be good for a bureaucrat's career, but the young members of the National Guard and Reserve who have families to support should be given better treatment," he said.
Missed opportunities
Guard and Reserve officials in Wisconsin say most employers respect military obligations and follow the law that protects someone's job while they're on a deployment.
But some Guard and Reserve members complain that companies won't hire them because they could be called away from work for a year, putting their employers in a bind.
"It doesn't matter how high you rank in a company, or what your credentials are, if an employer senses they're not going to have your presence because of the possibility of deployments, they will look for someone else," said one Guard member from Milwaukee who asked to remain anonymous because his comments could cause him difficulties with the Guard or his employer.
Guard members are sometimes passed over for promotions at their civilian employers because of deployments, Daywalt said. Some companies have fired Guard members under the guise of "economic reasons," he said, when the reason was really because of the possibility of deployments.
"Employers have endured watching their National Guard employees' call-up time move from 30 days to 90 days to six months and then to one year," Daywalt said.
From a company's perspective, he added, they have no practical ability to replace someone who has been called up for military duty for long periods of time.
Most Wisconsin companies support their Guard and Reserve employees, according to the Wisconsin branch of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.
Still, the rising jobless rate caught the agency's attention.
"Our agency was not at all involved with facilitating employment up until two years ago. But we have been redirected, in a way, because of the unemployment numbers," said Tim Flatley, executive director of the Wisconsin Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.
"We are not dodging the lost-time issue, but rather we are promoting the benefits of military service," Flatley said. "These sorts of things haven't been done before, frankly, and we are all very guilty of that."
Tough transitions
Companies can get tax credits for hiring veterans. Also, many companies have found that veterans and members of the Guard and Reserves are skilled employees who have proven they can handle difficult situations including the stresses of war.
"Any person who has spent a year or more on active duty has marketable skills wanted by civilian employers," Daywalt said. "The military has engineers, nurses, lawyers, accountants, store managers, telecommunications technicians, truck drivers, food-service managers and more."
Someone who has worked on fighter aircraft, tanks or other sophisticated weaponry will know how to read schematic drawings for equipment in the civilian world, and those types of skills are transferrable.
But it's not always that way, said Mathew Gilpin, a former Marine Corps aircraft mechanic who now works as a welder at Marinette Marine Co.
From a work ethic perspective, the transition to civilian employment wasn't difficult, Gilpin said.
"But, occupationally, it was very hard. Most of my credentials didn't transfer over to the civilian world, so I wasn't able to be an aircraft structural mechanic when I got out of the Marines unless I went through more schooling."
War veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder have had problems finding jobs because employers view them as a liability. Also, being unemployed adds to their stress.
Sometimes the toughest hurdle to clear is coming back home, said Nathan Anhalt, an Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and now is studying law enforcement at Milwaukee Area Technical College.
It takes awhile getting used to "not having a target painted on your back," said Anhalt, who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder when he returned from the battlefront.
Anhalt said he was turned down for jobs at the Milwaukee Police Department and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration because of his PTSD, although he had reams of documents showing he had successfully completed treatment.
"That has been the hardest struggle for me," he said.
Remaining problems
Some veterans wish they had never left the military, partly because of the sense of belonging and camaraderie they had there, said Christopher Wheeler, a Navy veteran from Milwaukee who had a hard time readjusting to civilian life in the mid-1980s.
Wheeler spent several years homeless, hopping freight trains and trying to fill a void in his life left from the Navy. He worked various jobs with mixed success.
"Sometimes the outside world just didn't make sense to me," Wheeler said.
The jobless rate for veterans, as a group, has always been lower than the national unemployment rate, Daywalt said.
"The overall outlook for veteran employment is positive. Eighty-one percent of military occupations have a direct or very close civilian equivalent," he said, although gaps exist and the jobless rate for young veterans remains a problem.
Having studied the National Guard unemployment problem for nearly a decade, Daywalt said, he hasn't found a silver bullet solution.
But any solution must gain the support of employers and meet the needs of the military, he said.
"The nation cannot continue to call members of the National Guard up to fight wars and then make it difficult for those members to obtain employment in the civilian sector," Daywalt said.

The Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee on Wednesday issued an additional fine and one-game suspension to San Jose Earthquakes defender Jason Hernandez for actions taken against forward Teal Bunbury during the Quakes' win over the Kansas City Wizards last Saturday.
In the 88th minute, Hernandez struck Bunbury during an off-the-ball incident in the middle of the field. Official Jasen Anno issued a red card to Hernandez during the match. However, after reviewing the incident, the Disciplinary Committee determined that due to the nature of the action, which endangered the safety of his opponent, additional sanctions should be levied.
In addition to the one-game suspension and $250 fine automatically issued for the red card, Hernandez has been suspended for one additional game and fined an additional $250. Hernandez will serve his suspension during San Jose's next two league games on Saturday against the LA Galaxy and Aug. 28 against the New York Red Bulls.

This morning as I was getting ready for work the song All Fall Down by MercyMe was playing on my iPod. I paused my iPod towards the end of this song for my prayer time and picked up my book of Psalms for Prayer to read the next psalm, which happened to be Psalm 139. I had to smile when I got to verse 14 because it is one of the lines in the song I had just been listening to. Psalm 139:14 says, "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
I decided to write a short psalm of my own based on this verse and to also share the song by MercyMe. Because it is Tuesday, I will be sharing this later today for Open Link Night at dVerse Poets Pub.
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
I will praise You, O Lord
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made
You are the Creator of my soul
my mind, my talents and strengths
You knew me before I was
and had a plan for all my days
Take my strengths, O Lord
and use them to Your glory
You are the Creator of all that I am
Your ways are too wonderful for me to understand
Take my weaknesses, O Lord, my God
and show Your might and power to overcome
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
to You belongs all my praise

New David Farland Writing Seminar: Write That Novel
Bestselling novelist David Farland, whom some of you may know as Dave Wolverton, has announced he will be giving a two-day writing seminar in the Boston area, November 13-14. "Write That Novel" is one of his popular most popular workshops.
David Farland
Dave is one of the instructors we worked with for the first Superstars Writing Seminar last spring in Pasadena. I have attended several of his lectures, and he always packs them with excellent information. I've known him for over twenty years and I think he's one of the best, most practical writing instructors out there. Many of his students have gone on to become successful authors, including several major bestsellers.
This seminar would definitely be worth your while. For details, see Write That Novel.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 25-year-old Jacksonville man was convicted this week on two counts of aggravated assault and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in an attack on two brothers.
In July 2010, Cory Johnson assaulted the brothers at the Morningside Apartments on Jammes Road on the Westside.
Johnson threatened Derrick Denton with a handgun inside Denton's ex-girlfriend's apartment. Denton was moving his belongings out of the apartment when the incident occurred.
Johnson, a friend of the ex-girlfriend, then went outside and threatened Denton's brother, Michael, by pointing the gun at him while Denton sat in his car in the parking lot.
When the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene, Johnson gave the gun to a co-defendant to hide in the bushes next to the apartment.
Johnson is a habitual felony offender with convictions for possession of cocaine and grand theft auto. He faces up to 40 years in prison and will be sentenced the week of March 25.

The administration of Ohio Gov. John Kasich plans to limit food stamps for more than 130,000 adults in all but a few economically depressed areas starting next year.
The requirement will cover able-bodied adults without children. They will be required to spend at least 20 hours a week working, training for a job, volunteering or performing a similar type of activity unless they live in one of 16 high-unemployment counties.
The requirements begin next month but those failing to meet them would not lose benefits until Jan. 1. More than 1.8 million Ohioans receive food stamps.
The exempt counties are Adams, Brown, Clinton, Coshocton, Highland, Huron, Jefferson, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingun, Noble, Ottawa, Perry, Pike and Scioto.
Richmond better pray it doesn't happen out here too!
