My post about Neeraj Pandey's obnoxiously anti-Muslim movie "Baby" brought an accusation from a reader that I did not have a suitably Hindu "perspective."
That raises the question, "What is the Hindu perspective?"
One answer lies in the attitudes that Hinduism has promoted throughout its millennial course.
Hinduism began with our ancient rishis compiling the lore of India's diverse tribes into the Vedas, thus creating a work all could venerate.
That allowed the tribes to stop their endemic conflicts and settle into interdependent castes.
Intense discussions (Upanishads) then drew from the Vedas the concepts that lie at the heart of Hindu belief.
Primarily, the rishis conceived of a universal spirit, Brahman (one who strengthens).
Brahman is manifest as the Sanatana Dharma (Eternal Law) holding all Creation in control.
The philosophic implication of that belief is expressed in Vasudeva kutumbhakam (God's family). It is the basis of India's unity in diversity and constitutes the fundamental Hindu perspective.
Another important contributor to the Hindu perspective is the confidence that comes from an acute age-old capacity to understand and meet the challenges facing our society.
The Vedas settled warring tribes into castes.
The Upanishads anchored the resulting peace in a profound philosophy of family relationships.
The Ramayana and the Mahabharata made that wisdom available to everyman/woman.
When superstition and ignorance blocked understanding of the Dharma the Buddha cleansed it.
When Buddhism lost its reforming zeal, Adi Sankara energized and brought back the old faith,
When caste and invasive Islam caused deep fissures in society, Kabir and Guru Nanak initiated the healing that developed into the modern Indian renaissance of Chatrapati Shivaji, Rammohun Roy, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi.
That progression makes one thing very clear: Hinduism has never been a blind faith. We have always studied problems, debated issues and come up with insightful and creative solutions.
Our failure to do that in the depths of the Kali Yuga is the primary reason why India fell victim to foreign invaders over the last two millennia.
Now, as we recover from that period, it is critically important that Hindus retrieve their traditional capacity to understand and meet the numerous challenges facing Indian society.
This blog has warned at great length about the greatest danger we face at present, the British campaign, with much help from Indian mass media proxies, to cloud our understanding of issues.
An important part of that campaign has been aimed at poisoning Hindu-Muslim relations.
The creation of Pakistan with its permanent siren call to jihad has, of course, done a great deal of work in that direction already, and if Hindu understanding is to defeat British intentions we must re-examine what actually happened.
To that end, the following section looks at the origin and development of "Islamic terrorism."
"Islamic Terrorism"
There is no denying that Islam has an enormously violent history, but no more so than Christianity. Since their founding nearly seven centuries apart both religions have been almost ceaselessly at war within their own realms, and, since the 7th Century, with each other.
However, when Christian colonial expansion began in the 15th Century Islam was a generally quiescent faith with an Ottoman Caliph in Istanbul ruling most of what is now called the Middle East, and Persia (encompassing modern Iran, Iraq and a number of adjoining areas), presiding over most of the world's Shia.
The transformation of Islam from that torpor to its current jihadist frenzy is almost entirely due to British policy.
It involved the creation of three States (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Israel), and the promotion of the violent Muslim Brotherhood as the fount of "Islamic terrorism."
The Brotherhood had its first mosque paid for by the British in the colonized "Suez Canal Zone" of Egypt, and its initial use was against anyone threatening British assets or allies anywhere in the Middle East.
The Cold War made it a tool against Communists and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan made it the source of a "Mujaheddin" army that became Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
In that progression, the three British-created States had a key role.
Saudi Arabia came into existence before World War I when the British found in Kuwait the 16-year old scion of the former ruling family of Riyadh and sponsored him to take it back from Ottoman rule. The Saudis brought with them to power the violently extremist Wahhabi sect, long considered "Haram" by mainstream Islam.
What the British did to create Pakistan is fairly well known, so I will not dwell on the details; suffice it to say, they used murderous violence to support the Hindu and Muslim proxies who actually ripped India apart.
Pakistan emerged as a failed State and has remained one with the support of enormous amounts of aid from Saudi Arabia and the West; in return it has become their handy drug dealing rent-a-terrorist supplier, hitting not just India but Afghanistan, Russia, all of Central Asia, Uighur China and South East Asia.
Britain's record in Palestine – later Israel – is unequaled in treachery.
After getting command of the territory through a League of Nations Mandate, it allowed unrestricted Jewish immigration from Europe, ostensibly to create a "Jewish Homeland." It then sponsored Arab terrorism against Jews. During WW II a "Jewish Brigade" in the British Army shaped the core of the Israeli Self Defence Force that beat back invading Arab armies in 1948.
One thing important to note about this whole scene is that the Arabs, who had not ruled themselves for over 800 years, were manipulated at every turn by Britain and France.
After WW I, when London and Paris created a number of new countries in the former Ottoman territories, they consistently arranged for political instability.
In Sunni majority Syria they gave power to the Shia; in Shia majority Iraq they empowered the Sunni. France created Lebanon to give power to Christians. With British prompting, Saudi Arabia took the territory containing Mecca and Medina, vaulting Wahhabi Islam to unprecedented global influence.
In surveying this history it is important to note that the Muslim populations of the Middle East and Pakistan have been the worst victims of "Islamic terrorism." They have shed the most blood, lost the most resources and suffered the worst political manipulations.
An Indian Perspective
There can be no "Hindu perspective" in dealing with this situation for several reasons.
First and most important, our entire tradition depends upon each person being free to accept God in any form and worship in any way; those are matters decided by individual karma in which no one else can interfere. Sri Krishna says explicitly in the Bhagavad Gita: "do not disturb the faith of another. No matter to whom a person bows, he bows to me."
Beyond the question of religion is that of politics, and there too is a strong argument not to strive for a "Hindu perspective." Indian Muslim perceptions of their co-religionists elsewhere are likely to be far more acute, and it would be silly for Indian policy not to benefit from that.
If we want to help steer the world out of its current vortex of "Islamic terrorism," it is essential that Muslims be part of the Indian team. They already are in the Ministry of External Affairs, but we need greater cultural heft in what is now purely policy.
It is only when Muslims in Pakistan see Indian Islam as a viable political alternative that we can wash back the blood-dimmed tide that Britain drowned us in; only in such circumstances can Arabs and Jews exchange Salaams and Shaloms in the Middle East and mean it.
The Weight of History
To foresee Hindu-Muslim unity as the foundation of India is hardly visionary. Guru Nanak set off the modern Indian renaissance five centuries ago by declaring "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim;" his first disciples (Sikhs), were drawn from both religions and all castes.
He was, in fact, making a formal statement of what had become part of life. In the centuries since Islam's entry into India Hindu and Muslim kings never stopped fighting each other; but they made liberal use of soldiers of both faiths.
One of the greatest of Indian national heroes, Chatrapati Shivaji, now celebrated as an icon of Hindu resistance to Mughal rule, endowed and prayed at Sufi shrines and employed Muslims at every level in his armies.
Perhaps nothing exemplifies the easy interfaith coexistence of those times as Netaji Palkar, one of his commanders who joined the Mughal army, converted to Islam and spent ten years fighting the Afghan tribes under the name of Quli Mohammed Khan; after that he returned without fuss to Hinduism and Shivaji's service.
The Mughals meanwhile were equally tolerant. Akbar's main general was his former enemy, Man Singh. After Akbar the Mughals were by blood as Indian as alien, and culturally they were entirely indigenous. Aurangzeb, the most intolerant of them, endowed Hindu temples even as he destroyed others.
As British colonial rule spread over India, the resistance was nowhere divided along communal lines.
Tipu Sultan exemplified that unity: all his top commanders were Hindus and his capital took its name from the Vishnu temple of Sri Ranga Patnam which he endowed and prayed at. Tipu was finally defeated and his stronghold taken after a Persian Islamic scholar he had favored opened a door in the outer wall to British forces. Tipu's body was found under several others, all Hindus who had died to prevent the British from taking and desecrating it. The great Sultan remains a living memory: last November a mass rally at Haveri in Karnataka celebrated the 264th Tipu Jayanthi.
The British poisoned that long and liberal tradition. It is up to modern Indians of all faiths to reclaim our national heritage.

There are several different options to use when you show your play therapy client how to make a miniature play therapy world.
The easiest way is to use a paper plate and create the play therapy miniature world on top of it. Turn the paper plate upside down an it looks like an island.
I use the plate for Healing Garden, Private Island, and Jungle Play Therapy Miniature world. Make sure the plate is sturdy. I prefer the styrofoam paper plates.
Another great way to create a play therapy miniature world is to make a pop-up book.
I like to offer my clients different play therapy techniques using miniatures or clip art.
One way I do this is to use different perspectives and types of miniature play therapy worlds. One way you can create a unique world for your play therapy miniatures is to make a pop-up paper world.

Portland / Oregon
• #1
I've booked to go to Portland next summer for 2 weeks with bikes.
Will it be better to do a big loop south of Portland towards Bend / Eugene then back up the coast OR to ride north up to Seattle and back?
Does anyone have any experience of touring around Oregon?
• #2
I've done driving hols, rafting trips and have family in Ashland.
The coast and the wine country are great, but for scenery (and lots of climbing) you need to go East up the Columbus river valley.
• #4
I've ridden a bit of both, great part of the world for riding. The coast is nice, but traffic may be quite heavy in summer and and you can pick up a fair amount of mist and drizzle. I'd go inland - the Columbia river gorge west to The Dalles from Portland on the old highway is a great ride on a pretty much empty road. Then roughly along/ parallel to the Pacific crest trail route south down to Diamond and Crater lakes which are brilliant for a couple of days on the bike. You could return north to Portland inland via Eugene or the coast. Or continue south/take a few diversions and pick up the train back to Portland. If you can find some of the previous Cycle Oregon routes that may give you some good ideas.
A loop going north from Cascade locks on the Columbia river via Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier would also be a great ride - you could return south on the coast or head over to the Olympic National park/St Juan Islands and again train it back to Portland.
Loads of great riding opportunities, you almost can't go wrong...
• #5
I've spent a lot of time hanging around the bus station so if that's your plan and you need any hints, let me know ;)
• #6
thanks everyone, that's very helpful.
I think we'll head inland, then down to Bend, Eugene then come back up the coast, should be enough for 2 weeks.
So excited, I'll keep this thread updated
• #7
that's great, thank you!
• #8
Anytime. Don't miss Crater lake if you go south - the loop round the edge is an outstanding day ride.
• #9
It gets really hot in summer. On the eastern side of the coastal range, you're looking at 35 celsius during the day. Also lots of forest fires this year (summer 2018). I'm quite jealous, having been to the area, but not ridden it. The scenery, the nature, the rivers, the lakes, are amazing. Hope you like trees and hills!
On the coast it's maybe 20ish and misty quite often. But also beautiful and clean. The sea is too cold to swim. The 101 has quite a bit of traffic.
• #10
hmm, if it's not possible to swim in the sea then maybe I should skip the coast and stay inland then. I'm also not 100% sure Eugene looks that interesting. Bend has some MTB trails I'd like to have a day on so I do want to go down there.
Is there anything interesting around Eugene / Salem or would it be better to remain to the east of that and head back up to portland through the National Forests?
• #11
Eugene is a college town (Universityof Oregon) and it's pretty boring driving through it - I can imagine it would be tedious to cycle around it. Closer to the coast is the Siuslaw National Forest but the Williamette/Umpqua/Deschutes national forests to the east will be more interesting.
Do note that there is a LOT of logging up there so the forest roads will have some pretty big trucks out there. Also. Hilly. And you will have limited route choice. But in fairness, the roads in the National Forests are always of good quality.
• #12
Yes, I understand there's some interesting wine country just south of Portland so maybe it's a better idea to turn around at Bend, head directly north and over the mountains towards the coast, skipping out Eugene
• #13
It's more than interesting - it's the best Pinot Noir region in the US. Definitely worth visiting but the prices are a bit dear. I can highly recommend McMinnville as a place to stay.
• #14
• #15
Inland looks amazing and I'm definitely not trying to put you off doing that - but I rode the coast a couple of years ago and it was amazing, with national parks at convenient camping intervals. It is trafficky though and if I went back I would totally do what Balmain suggests.
• #16
I live in Washington State so I'd love to put a plug in for heading up the coast towards the Olympic Peninsula. Tonnes of beautiful roads, plus a fair bit of bike trail stuff if you don't want to ride with traffic.
A good chunk of the peninsula is in the rainshadow and is likely to be dry in the summer, if you're getting closer to the days and realize that it's wet looking where you planned to ride.
• #17
My limited knowledge of Oregon cycling is the portion of my Pacific Coast tour that went from Tillamook on the coast, West of Portland, down to the border with California. (See photos on page 1 here, starting from the first bike/coast pic down to the "Welcome to California" sign!)
We put bikes on the bus from Portland to Tillamook, pretty cheap and convenient. Maybe we were lucky with the weather but besides a very predictable mist in the morning, it was generally pleasantly warm and dry, with a reliable tail wind all the way. (Everyone does the coastal route North to South due to prevailing winds.) Hwy 101 is a very pleasant bike ride, and hiker/biker campsites make for very convenient touring.
• #18
check out the routes on omtm.cc! and look at the unpaved google group if you want some company
• #19
Planning Vancouver to San Fran (via Portland/101) beginning of October, following/bumping the thread for any further chat.
• #20
This is a great summary of my experience too. I really enjoyed the Olympic peninsula also but do wish I'd ventured inland more, especially now I'm a bit older and more experienced as a cyclist.
• #21
Does anyone have an elevation profile/break down of elevation gain for route 101?
• #22
Will pm you, its on my strava
• #23
How's your planning for this coming along? I'm looking to do the same trip starting next week (with absolutely zero planning) over 8-10 weeks. Pretty excited/scared.
• #24
From the little research I've done, seems like you just hit the 101 and head south. Loads of campsites, other cyclotouristes and easy navigation. Enjoy!
• #25
Hey, I'm planing very similar thing, more like Vancouver to LA. Leaving in September!

Massive fire at garbage dump in Delhi's Jangpura
New Delhi:
A massive fire broke out at a garbage dump in Delhi's Jangpura area in the early hours of Monday. Within minutes the fire spread to the nearby shanties. Local people alerted the police, who rescued the slum dwellers. Reports suggest several fire engines are at the spot trying to put out the fire.
The fire at the garbage dump in the heart of the capital broke out just as Delhi'ites breathed easy on Sunday after the air quality improved, due to increased wind speed and steps taken by the government. Rain and strong winds in the hilly states around Delhi too helped bring down the pollution levels.

On Sunday, a total fine of Rs 83,55,000 was imposed on violators by the teams deployed to monitor implementation of measures to combat pollution in the national capital region. The overall air quality index on Sunday was recorded at 181, which is in the 'moderate' category, said the Central Pollution Control Board.
In Delhi, authorities have stepped up efforts to combat pollution, which includes measures like halting construction activities and regulating traffic. Civil construction has also been suspended in Delhi and suburbs.
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee has also directed the transport department and the traffic police to intensify checking of polluting vehicles and control travel congestion during the 10-day-long 'Clean Air Campaign' from November 1 to 10.

Conservative distrust of science
It is interesting to see that the general public had a pretty good, ca .5, relationship with science around the time Apollo ended. I bet if you went back to the 50's and 60's, the numbers would be even better. When you stop exploring in a way that is visible to the public, they will no longer grow up loving science.
"An analysis of 36 years' worth of polling data indicates that confidence in science as an institution has steadily declined among Americans who consider themselves conservatives, while confidence levels have been at steadier levels for other ideological groups.
The study, published in the April issue of the American Sociological Review, provides fresh ammunition for those who complain that conservative views on issues such as climate change are at odds with the scientific consensus."
It is clear that, as a republican candidate, you simply cannot run for president without denying some form of established science. Just ask Sarah the 'cuda Palin who ridiculed important research (shrimp on a treadmill or fruit-flies iirc) or worse, McCain who called a world-class planetarium "an overhead projector."
McCain's planetarium problem
One would be hard-pressed to find a more dangerous thing than embracing ignorance as a virtue. It happened in the middle east about 800 years ago. Baghdad was once the center of learning and knowledge, and the largest city in the world, but that all changed with the increase of a sect of Islam that did not accept science and math. That is, after revolutionizing math, astronomy, optics, etc., the golden age of Islam died quite abruptly. The crusades and mongols did not help either... And centuries later, the middle east has yet to recover completely! Let us not make the same mistake.
Space furnace for micro-gravity experiments
"A space furnace like this heats samples of the intermetallics while they are on board the rocket. At around 1600 °C titanium aluminide melts. As the molten sample cools, it turns solid again. Deeper understanding of how titanium aluminide behaves during this process will lead to improved techniques for casting it in moulds.

Super Loki Dart booster on sale - $600
"It represents a significant part of the 60's Space program and is a definite piece of history as the government fired a limited number of these rockets up 40-50 miles doing high altitude meteorological research. Everything that this rocket accomplished was a result of the first 2.2 seconds (the motor burn). Seperation would occur at around 10,000 ft, at that point it would be doing 4600 - 4800 MPH. The top dart would coast from the seperation altitude to apogee (250,000 ft - 50 miles)....to me, that's simply amazing!
It is made from aluminum, measures 79" long, 4" in diameter not counting the four 8"x2" fins. It weighs 12-1/2 lbs (no payload). It is also painted a faded military greenish color and features cool looking burn marks from being launched. It originally featured a 52" top dart which I never acquired so I turned a smaller tip for it from wood on a lathe then painted red just so it would display nice."
I think I would rather have the dart, but this is still very cool! Note that this 80 inch x 4 inch case, much longer than a CTI Pro-x 98mm 6GXL, only weighs about as much as the CTI case... and that is with fins! Good mass fractions are crucial to high performance flight. The rocket approximates my ideal hobby rocket stage; a N5800 motor with aluminum fins welded onto the case, and a short aluminum nosecone attached directly to the top of the motor case. This rocket could achieve about 80,000 feet if launched from sea level. More importantly, as an upper stage ignited in the regime between 30,000 and 50,000 feet, this type of rocket could be expected to break 100 km.

Able and Baker fly into space
On May 28, 1959, aboard the JUPITER AM-18, Able, a rhesus monkey, and Miss Baker, a squirrel monkey, became the first monkeys to successfully return to Earth after traveling in space.
Able was born at the Ralph Mitchell Zoo in Independence, Kansas.
They travelled in excess of 16,000 km/h, and withstood 38 g (373 m/s²).
Able died June 1, 1959 while undergoing surgery to remove an infected medical electrode, from a reaction to the anesthesia.
Baker died November 29, 1984 at the age of 27 and is buried on the grounds of the United States Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Able was preserved, and is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.
Their names were taken from a phonetic alphabet.
...Miss Baker wore a tiny helmet lined with rubber and chamois leather plus a tiny jacket for launch, in addition to a respiration meter affixed to her nose with model cement, and she was fitted into a snug capsule of shoebox size, 9¾ x 12½ x 6¾ inches (24.8 x 31.8 x 17.1 cm) insulated with rubber and fiberglass. Life support was an oxygen bottle with a pressure valve, and lithium hydroxide to absorb moisture.
On May 28, 1959, at 2:39 A.M., a Jupiter rocket lofted Miss Baker and Miss Able to an altitude of 300 miles (480 km) through an acceleration of 38 gs for a 16-minute flight which also included 9 minutes of weightlessness. The flight traveled 1,500 miles (2,400 km) downrange from the pad at Cape Canaveral launch complex 26B to the Atlantic Ocean near Puerto Rico where the capsule was recovered by USS Kiowa...

Worlds largest computer
"The AN/FSQ-7 is physically the largest computer ever built, and will likely hold that record for the future. Each machine used 55,000 vacuum tubes, about ½ acre (2,000 m²) of floor space, weighed 275 tons and used up to three megawatts of power.
The Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) was an automated control system for tracking and intercepting enemy bomber aircraft used by NORAD from the late 1950s into the 1980s. In later versions, the system could automatically direct aircraft to an interception by sending instructions directly to the aircraft's autopilot.
By the time SAGE was completely operational, the Soviet bomber threat had been replaced by the Soviet missile threat, for which SAGE was entirely inadequate. Nevertheless, SAGE was extremely important; it led to great advances in online systems and interactive computing, real-time computing, and data communications using modems. It is generally considered to be one of the most advanced and successful large computer systems ever developed.
Both MIT and IBM supported the project as contractors. IBM's role in SAGE (the design and manufacture of the AN/FSQ-7 computer, a vacuum tube computer with ferrite core memory based on the never-built Whirlwind II) was an important factor leading to IBM's domination of the computer industry, accounting for more than a half billion dollars in revenue, nearly 10% of IBM's income in the late 1950s.
Prior to the introduction of SAGE, the task of intercepting bombers was becoming increasingly difficult. This was the latest shift in a balance of power that had been see-sawing since the 1930s...
The problem became even more acute if the bombers attacked at low level. Radar is line-of-sight, so by approaching close to the ground they would remain hidden behind the curvature of the Earth until approaching to within a few tens of miles...
It was this problem that particularly bothered Dr. George E. Valley, an MIT physics professor. In order to provide any sort of protection for the entire USA, a series of radar stations would have to span both coasts and across Canada. In the event of a raid, there would simply be far too many reports to be able to successfully guide interception. His solution was automation, connecting all of the radar sites to a computer which would then control all of the incoming and outgoing flow of information...
Production of the resulting machines, known technically as the AN/FSQ-7, was awarded initially to RCA but later given to IBM, who started production in 1958...
The AN/FSQ-7 is physically the largest computer ever built, and will likely hold that record for the future. Each machine used 55,000 vacuum tubes, about ½ acre (2,000 m²) of floor space, weighed 275 tons and used up to three megawatts of power. Although the machines used a large number of vacuum tubes, the failure rate of an individual tube was low due to efforts in quality control and a novel quality assurance system called marginal checking that discovered tubes that were growing weak, before they failed. Each SAGE site included two computers for redundancy, with one processor on "hot standby" at all times. In spite of the poor reliability of the tubes, this dual-processor design made for remarkably high overall system uptime. 99% availability was not unusual.
SAGE sites were connected to multiple radar stations which transmitted tracking data (range and azimuth) in digitized format by modem over ordinary telephone lines. These digitized inputs were automatically prepared from analog radar inputs by the AN/FST-2B (or successor, AN/FYQ-47[4]) at the radar stations. The SAGE computers then collected the tracking data for display on a CRT as icons. Situation Display (SD) console operators at the center could select any of the "targets" on the display with a light gun, and then display additional information about the tracking data reported by the radar stations. Each SD operator console was equipped with an integral cigarette lighter and ashtray...
The total engineering effort for SAGE was immense. Total project cost remains unknown, but estimates place it between 8 and 12 billion 1964 dollars (60--90 billion 2011 dollars), more than the Manhattan Project that developed the nuclear bomb that SAGE defended against..."

Project Daedalus in Xenology
"If technically advanced alien civilizations can build starprobes and send them to Sol, how long will it be before humanity can construct and launch interstellar messenger vehicles of its own? A small group of engineers and physicists, all members of the British Interplanetary Society (BIS), decided to find out. In February 1973 they initiated Project Daedalus, an impressive four-year feasibility study of a simple interstellar probe mission using only present-day technology or reasonable extrapolations to near-future capabilities. More than 10,000 man-hours were expended directly on the Project, which culminated in April 1977 with a prototype design and finally in 1978 with the publication of the final report. The following is a very brief summary of the design and mission specifications for Project Daedalus (Figure 24.14), the first comprehensive starship design study in the history of mankind.
The basic mission profile involves an unmanned and undecelerated starprobe which executes a flyby of Barnard's Star at a distance of about 6 light-years from Earth. This particular target was chosen, not because of its inherent superiority to a Centauri (a closer and more likely system to harbor life3224), but rather because it lies near the midpoint of the expected maximum useful range of the Daedalus vehicle -- roughly 10 light-years.
The final design calls for a starship with a total initial mass of 54,000 tons, of which 50,000 tons is propellant in the form of deuterium/helium-3 frozen fuel pellets. The vehicle consists of a two-stage nuclear pulse rocket, a widely discussed conventional interstellar propulsion technique that has been described extensively in the literature. (See Chapter 17.) The trip to Barnard's Star would require about 20 years of R&D effort (design, manufacture, and vehicle checkout), 50 more years of flight time at about 12%c, followed by another decade of data transmission from the probe relating to approach, encounter, and exit science. Therefore a basic funding commitment over at least the next 80 years would be required for implementation and successful completion of the mission.
As shown in the time-into-mission graph in Figure 24.14, the Daedalus starprobe would leave the Solar System probably from near-Jovian space. This is because the helium-3 needed for fuel is rare on Earth and must be harvested from the atmosphere of Jupiter using "aerostat factories" floating in the jovian air at medium altitudes. (This technology obviously requires at least a mature spacefaring Type I cultural level among humans, which should be attainable in the next century here on Earth.) The boost period, involving three propellant tank drops and a single stage separation, would last 3.8 years. At the end of these events, the starprobe would have achieved a cruising velocity of about 12%c."

VERA: A low cost, low acceleration transonic impact gun
First seen on The Original Rocket Dungeon.
"In the world of ordnance system development the need for system and subsystem testing under dynamic conditions is obvious. A number of approaches have been used by various agencies throughout the years. Rocket sleds. Powder guns. Compressed gas guns. Although each approach has its advantages and disadvantages, it is the disadvantages of traditional approaches that led to the creation of the Variable Energy Research Accelerator (VERA). Rocket sleds are often too expensive for small programs to utilize for extensive test series, and in addition to challenging packaging issues, traditional guns present a violent acceleration profile that can damage test hardware. The designer of VERA endeavored to create a cost effective system to deliver useful payloads to useful velocities while subjecting payloads to acceleration forces significantly lower than those associated with typical gun systems. The result of this effort is VERA.
VERA is a low cost, low acceleration, compressed charge combustion gun featuring a 40 foot (12.2 m) barrel and a 19 inch (483 mm) bore. VERA was designed to minimize payload acceleration forces, accommodate large and/or oddly shaped projectiles, and allow for in-barrel instrumentation and control of energetic or inert payloads.
And yes, VERA, can best be described as a 'potato gun on steroids.'"
I bet everyone is thinking the same thing... at some point they have to rotate this thing to 85 degrees and see how high the payloads can go. Or better still, use it to kick-start a rocket.
Orion nuclear pulse rockets from 10 meters to 200 Mt
The smallest orion, a 10 meter NASA prototype, would have been useful for manned missions to the planets. Initially it would be great for a Mars return trip, carrying tons of payload and arriving quickly. A modified or slightly larger orion would have been suitable for return trips to and from the Jovian Planets. Larger rockets still could carry permanent bases, or astronauts in style. The largest orion craft would be able to fly small cities. These would be ideal generation ships, slowly traveling to other star systems. Only the largest orion spacecraft could make a practical, single generation trip to a local star. These would have to be extremely large, the size of a real city, and be of the "thermal" type where forward thrust is generated by the absorption and re-radiation of photons from large radiation implosion type bombs.

Interested in making your own rocket motors?
Image from Sugar Shot to Space.
Experimental rocketry, EX for short, has been around longer than hobby rocketry. Experimental rockets were among the first modern rockets to be built, including the first bi-propellant rocket built and flown by Robert Goddard about 86 years ago. One must be very careful to learn before building, as rocket propellants are flammible, and rocket motors frequently explode when they fail. In addition, it is essential to obey all laws and safety recommendations from the experts. But many Americans, and people all over the world, build their own rocket motors rather than buy them from a vendor. These people build their own motors and discuss motor building, internationally. They do so legally. Information about rocketry and propellants is public domain knowledge. Discussion of this information is protected by the bill of rights. Public libraries, websites, universities, they all contain information about rockets and how to build them. Obviously one should survey the field, and consider purchasing a book on the topic, long before actually building a rocket motor. One should talk to, and work with other EX builders. Many NAR/Tripoli launches have EX flights, or have flyers who are part-time in EX. Talking to them will be your most valuable source of information. Here is some preliminary reading:

Bill Tindall: Tindallgram Memos
"Tindall wrote over 1,100 memos between 1964 and 1970 for both Gemini and Apollo. There are copies of many of them available in several different archives but there is not a complete set.
One of Tindall's friends put together a set of 185 Apollo Tindallgrams just after Bill died in 1995. The University of Houston-Clear Lake Archives has a digitized version of that set on CD.
I know that many NASA MSC workers from the Gemini/Apollo years saved copies of various Tindallgrams they received as part of their work but most of the copies I have seen belong to NASA, the National Archives, or UH-Clear Lake." - Andrew Baird

Balls 20 - 2011
I think this is the first time I have posted this video. Better late than never! It includes footage of the the 4 Carb Yen, a N5800 - N1100 two stage flight to over 100,000 feet, conducted by Jim Jarvis. This flight, with a slow upper stage and significant staging delay, is the closest test yet of the proposed N5800 to N5800 space attempt that has been discussed here and at The Rocketry Planet previously. The delay was around 10 seconds, with an upper stage burn time of around 10 seconds as well. Now delays of significantly longer, 20 to 30 seconds, were proposed in the space shot. It also remains to be seen how much better an N5800 will do as the upper stage. You can see this rocket fly at 1:00.
You can also see a massive two stage flight by Robert Dehate and the Derek Deville Q flight to about 120,000 feet.

Neutron star compared to New York City
"This illustration compares the size of a neutron star to Manhattan. The crushed core of a star that has exploded as a supernova, a neutron star packs more mass than the sun into a sphere just 10 to 15 miles wide." Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
The crazy thing about a neutron star is that when you look at one side, you see parts of the other side. The gravitational pull is so strong that escape velocity approaches the speed of light. It is not so strong that light is sequestered forever, but strong enough that light is massively bent around the sphere to the other side.

Welcome to the B reactor video series
Atomic Heritage has a whole bunch of videos talking about the reactor used during the Manhattan project to create plutonium from uranium. This was one of the first reactors ever built, and as such was a prototype in the extreme. Furthermore, it was a very large reactor compared to the few other experimental reactors of the period. Like everything else with the Manhattan project, this reactor was huge, expensive, and at the bleeding edge of science at the time.

Estes Pro Series II motor retainers - final review
After finishing up the level 2 rocket, I used a bit of JB weld to install rail guides, reinforce the airframe joint in the 38mm Thunderbolt, and mount two of these motor retainers. All in one mix! That is one benefit to using a slow epoxy like JB weld; no rush to finish projects as you use it.
Here are both ends of the retainer on a 29 40-120 case before installation in the rocket. This image does not provide much information but it looks cool.
The retainers were installed on this kit, an unpainted Wildman Dragon, and a Loc Graduator. JB weld was used, but I bet 30 minute epoxy would be fine. Consider the thermal exposure, and also the ability of an epoxy to bond with plastic. JB weld works very well on both counts so it was my choice for this use. I would not use 5 minute epoxy because it is rated to only 200 degrees.

I would not use 5 minute epoxy because it is rated to only 200 degrees.
Because these rockets had been built and used long before the retainers were installed, the fit was too tight. Epoxy residue was a factor, and I also gather that fiberglass will always be a tight fit. I did sand the motor tubes a bit, but spent most of my time sanding the plastic tube (threaded portion that is attached to rocket) because it was easy to sand. I made each loose enough to fit, but tight enough to require a tap with the end of a screwdriver on installation.
Here you see the 29mm motor case dropped into the rocket. (Including the obligatory rocketry feet.) The fit will be perfect as long as you keep any epoxy residue out of the tube. Keep paper towels and alcohol on hand for this. My Loc MMA1 (29mm to 24mm) did not fit. It has too much electrical tape on the back to fit vertically (easy to fix) but also seems to be a bit too wide. I can also fix this by removing the outer paper layer. The biggest test of the retainer will be flying this rocket on a 24mm CTI motor with the MMA1 and an F240.
Overall my impression is that these are simple, inexpensive units. If I had unlimited money, I would use slimline snap-ring retainers for all of these kits. But the cost is a bit much for smaller rockets. $20 for a retainer on a $60 rocket... In the past, I simply left the rockets without any retainer and used the time-tested electrical tape method. There is nothing wrong with electrical tape, but this is a bit neater and faster, and certainly looks more professional when you walk up to the RSO table.

After dropping the motor in, it is quite easy to screw the cap in place. I did not crank down on it as the JB weld is only 12 hours old and I prefer to go 24 hours before any stress is put on a part, just to be on the safe side. Even after the epoxy has cured, I am concerned that screwing too hard could crack the bond (this is plastic after all) and weaken it. So users should decide how hard to screw the unit down and not exceed that amount of torque.

Lush Group has joined forces with Advanced Global Trading to reduce the environmental damage created by its operations and will offset any remaining environmental damage over the year to become the world's first carbon neutral model agency.
Lush CEO, Kelly Mackinnon, explained the motivation for the initiative. "We have over 300 models on our books and can have a large number of these working at any one time around the UAE and sometimes outside the country. This all adds up to a significant impact on the environment over the course of a year when you consider flights, car journeys, power used - and of course hairspray". "However, in all seriousness, we are proud to be representing the industry in terms of environmental consciousness and showing modelling isn't just about looking good," she said.
After a series of information sharing sessions carried out by AGT, designed to reduce and minimise Lush's environmental damage, the remaining CO2 emissions expected over the next year will be calculated and AGT will retire the equivalent number of VER (Voluntary Emissions Reduction) Carbon Credits to offset this damage.
AGT Director, Charles Stephenson, said, "While Lush is now possibly our best looking client, we've been impressed by their environmental awareness in coming forward and offering to purchase and retire enough Carbon Credits to offset their first year's emissions. We wish them all the best in their first year of operation and will always be delighted to see them in the office."
Ms Mackinnon adds, "At Lush we strongly believe in the importance of creating awareness and helping educating as many people we can from any industry of the importance of going green - and the simplicity of offsetting carbon emissions to make a start in this process. Lush is a recently launched company and the carbon neutral commitment was a key unique selling point in our business model as we believe it complements what our brand stands for."
Lush Group provides models alongside event and lifestyle services to the public and private sector, including: media, events, private weddings, parties, exhibitions, launches, fashion shoots, catwalk and editorial for some of the world's top brands and organisations.
AGT is an industry leader in sourcing and trading Carbon Credits to help companies and individuals offset their CO2 emissions and mitigate the harmful effects of climate change, employing over 50 traders in the UAE, UK, Switzerland, USA, South Africa and Spain.

Aegis General and Manufactured Home Fire Safety
Probably the number one concern for your clients that own a manufactured home is fire hazards. Because they are somewhat flimsily designed, as opposed to a house built on a foundation, they tend to lack the ability to survive a major fire hazard. The federal government regulates the construction of manufactured housing, requiring companies to comply with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) manufactured housing construction and safety standards.
At Aegis General, we understand these homes come with inherent risks, and we strive to help your clients obtain affordable insurance coverage.
Many homes lack proper smoke detection units
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)'s national fire data indicates that manufactured homes built to HUD standards (post-1976 construction) have a much lower risk of death if fire occurs compared to pre-standard manufactured homes. Despite the federal requirements for factory-installed smoke alarms and the fact that seven out of ten manufactured home fires now involve post-HUD-Standard units (based on 2007-2011 data), 51 percent of fires in manufactured homes were reported as having no smoke alarms present.
Many of the issues stem from electrical wiring hazards. We suggest your client hire a licensed electrician to inspect the home, and refrain from using extension cords, other than as a temporary convenience. Also, tell them to avoid overloading electrical outlets, nor should electrical cords be run under carpets or rugs, as the wires can be damaged by foot traffic and overheat and ignite the carpet or rug placed over them.
Unattended cooking is the leading cause of cooking fires in U.S. homes. Tell clients to stay in the kitchen when heating anything on the stove, keep cooking surfaces clean, and place anything that can burn well away from the range. Above all, practice cooking safety tips.
When using space heaters, keep them at least three feet away from anything that can burn.
Also, inform the owners that they should turn off portable space heaters before falling asleep or when leaving the room. Finally, ensure that they supervise children and pets when space heaters are operating.
At Aegis General we not only want to provide affordable insurance, we want to educate people on ways to keep their homes and families safe.

It helps if you can see around the bend, which is not the case for drivers or pedestrians at a busy downtown intersection.
Toronto Water's ongoing replacement of aging water mains has moved to Jarvis St., where the curb lane on the west side is closed to traffic north of Gerrard St., pinching southbound traffic into a single lane.
The construction is surrounded by cement barriers on the northwest corner, as is a temporary crossing for pedestrians along the north side of Gerrard, creating an enclosed space to protect them from traffic.
The barriers that separate southbound traffic and the pedestrian area from the project are topped by fencing with sheets of black plastic attached, which prevents people from seeing inside the work area.
The plastic sheets also hide southbound traffic on Jarvis from people waiting at the northwest corner to cross to the east side, and prevent drivers from seeing pedestrians waiting to step out in front of them.
Steve Christie emailed to say the combination of sheets and fencing "has created a potentially dangerous blind spot for cars and pedestrians.
"Cars making a right turn from Jarvis to Gerrard can't see either the east/west or the north/south (pedestrian) crossing," while "pedestrians can't see cars approaching or making the turn," he said.
Christie offered a construction solution: Lower the plastic sheets attached to the fencing above the barriers, which would make drivers and pedestrians visible to each other, or prohibit right turns until the job is done.
The plastic sheets are strung above the barriers running along Gerrard and Jarvis and are just high enough that they totally obscure people and drivers from each other.
It had us wondering why they were put up in the first place; most of us have witnessed construction and are neither shocked nor repulsed by the spectacle.
If they're intended to keep dust from blowing around, the sightline problems are a much bigger issue. They gotta go.
STATUS: Andrea Gonsalves, who deals with media for Toronto Water, says she has asked district operations manager Elio Buccella to find out why the sheets were put up, and if there's any reason why they can't be taken down to improve visibility.

A Hawk-Dove Conundrum
Part three of my anti-war series arises from another real life encounter that made me think about how we express our opinions on what is clearly an emotional subject for many.
I was in the Oakland airport doing a pick-up for an old friend. I was early, the flight was late, so I pulled my "killing time" book out of the trunk. I was sitting in the large pre-screening ticketing area when I heard an airport bell captain speaking in a loud, commanding voice for all to hear. I don't have the exact words but he was pointing out the six camouflaged, beret-wearing soldiers. I did catch: "On their way to serve their country." There was more than a smattering of applause, travelers at the doorstep of the escalator gave way to the soldiers with several pats on the shoulder. I don't use airports much these days but a few calls to friends who are frequent flyers told me that this was not an isolated occurrence.
What got my attention was a middle-aged man a few seats away from me. He was in the line of sight between my seat and the soldiers. He was not happy with the scene unfolding in front of us. Moments later he folded his newspaper and headed for a nearby bar, I followed him and took a seat just around the bend in the bar so he and I were close but not on top of each other. We both ordered drinks and I opened my book again. He hit his beer quickly and after a short time I put down the book and he asked if it was any good. The book just happened to be a poker biography (Doyle Brunson's) and it took me about three sentences to bring up the Matusow book and we were conversational buddies.
Halfway through his second Miller Lite, I took the plunge.
"I noticed that you were less than happy with the acknowledgment those soldiers were given."
The same dark face returned and he took a long drag on his beer. Then it spilled out:
"You remember Vietnam?"
"I do indeed."
"Well I was there. I was there at the end. We knew for months that we were going home, if we managed to stay alive until our orders came through. When I got back home there wasn't any of that baby-killer crap or being spit on or nothing like that. I think most of those stories are urban myths anyway."
He took another tug on the long-neck.
"I just hate it that those young fellows get some applause in an airport but we don't give them the training or equipment to be safe where we are sending them. Hell, I don't even know if I'm for or against these wars; if I try to read about them at all it takes me back to a place I just don't want to go."
Just then, as in all these airport vignettes, his flight got a PA boarding call.
"Damn, they said another hour, I gotta run."
As he shuffled for money with no bartender in sight I offered:
"Let me get that one, you gotta plane to catch."
"Thanks" he said. A couple a paces away he turned back and asked: "You weren't there, were you?"
"No, I was one of the long-hairs back here trying to stop it."
He thought for a moment and said: "Thanks for that too."
What an amazing difference forty years can make.

The Mother-in-Law
In the 1990s, I had to fly to Stavropol [a city in Russia] with one of my colleagues. The smaller airport was still operating back in those days with Yak airliners serving as commuters. We went to the airport, there were many people waiting for the same flight. And I met one of my friends who said that his mother-in-law is flying to Stavropol, too. He asked me to help her out with the luggage.
So, we the took her suitcase and went to the airplane. It was a very hot summer day, and there were about 60 people gathered around the Yak. And once the door was opened, the crowd immediately rushed to the plane, trying to get inside. Me and my colleague, both scientists, stood there and watched them all, waiting until we could enter the Yak, too. Then I heard my friend's mother-in-law saying, "Why are you standing here? All seats are going to be occupied!" She grabbed the suitcase I was supposed to help her carry, and holding it as a battering ram in front her, she hit the crowd and got into the plane.
When we finally made our way inside, we saw her sitting there and keeping one free seat next to her, and another one in the front row. The plane was overcrowded and there was literally no place to even stand, but nobody dared to occupy those two seats. And she goes, "Hey boys, come, sit here!"
There were so many people in that Yak that when the flight engineer came he couldn't proceed to the cabin. "Let me pass," he said to the people, but no one risked to get out of the plane. And so they lifted him up and passed him from hands to hands above their heads until he reached the cabin.

|It's Up To You
|Romans 1:18-25 (Part of the Miscellaneous series).
|All means all. Each and every person that knows truth and doesn't follow after it will answer for their ungodliness. There is many times the lost seem to have all the fun. They run around acting as if they don't have to answer to anything. The truth of it is their day of judgement is fast approaching for them. Whether you're lost or saved there will be a day that you will recognize that God Himself is real. Do you realize that each and every person has the right to choose whether they will believe or not? Titus 2:11, each and every person knows that if they die where they will go, Heaven or Hell.
The invisible things are clearly seen though they are not is the eternal power of the Godhead. You know they are real. Look around and you can clearly see that God is real because He is the creator. All of His creation has been here since the beginning. The sun stands still while the earth rotates once a day. The earth is also the perfect distance away from the sun. The earth circles the sun once and creates a year. The scientists claim that all of that was simply a mistake and just happened by chance. While looking at Gods creation one will not see His characteristics. His characteristics comes thru knowing Him personally.
When we look at nature the evidence, it's all the same the question is how did it get there. In our schools the children are taught that all of these came to be due to evolution. They've stripped God out and created an imaginary creation claiming to be wise fools.
People will begin putting more faith into their created foolishness and God will allow them to follow their desires. Once again proving that God allows each and every person a choice. God loves each and every person and has never gave up on you. Don't give up on God.
Romans 1:26-31, if one wants to follow their own selfish desires and disobey God, He will allow you to do that. But, Romans 1:32 states that you know what is right and you made the choice not to do it and therefore have cast judgement upon yourself.
|Preached by Tommy Boring on July 29, 2018 (Sunday Morning).
|Righteousness (Part 2)
|Romans 10:1-10 (Part of the Miscellaneous series).
|Deut 30 references Rom 10:5. One must complete the law in its entirety. No one has been able to keep the law perfectly therefore we are guilty. The works of the flesh will not be accepted as a payment into Heaven. Jesus Christ would have never been sent as a sacrifice if there was another way into Heaven. Do you think you're a good person? If you're trying to get into Heaven by any other way but by Jesus Christ then you're creating a self righteous religion that will get you into Hell. There is a way that seems right but it WILL lead to death, Hell. How many people go to the doctor if they are well? Likewise, how many people will go to Jesus when everything seems to be going good? Most people judge their relationship with Christ by watching others. If that person lives just as good as they do then everything just be ok.
Perfection is the only thing that will go to Heaven. There is not a single person that has mastered perfection. What makes a person perfect is by accepting Christ as their savior. Who in their right mind would say that they would rather go to Hell than to Heaven? Christ has already done everything He can to allow you to go to Heaven.
So how do you get saved? There is one thing required and that's to believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins, Rom 10:9-10;13.
|Preached by Tommy Boring on January 7, 2018 (Sunday Morning).
|Righteousness (Part 1)
|Romans 10:1-10 (Part of the Miscellaneous series).
|If you ask anybody if they would go to Heaven, most would say yes that they would. Most are not even saved but think they're good enough to get into Heaven. The prayer should be for those that are lost to be saved. In order for soul to be saved it must know that it's lost. We live in a culture that think they are moral and good and do not think they need God. Prov 30:12 does this not sound like we are living in this generation? Visiting an altar does not make one saved. Church attendance will not make one saved.
It's very important that you look at yourself in the mirror and make sure that your sins are taken care of with God. Self is usually at the heart of the sin. Those that go around establishing how righteous they are, are like white sepulchers. The outsides look and seem beautiful but on the inside they are full of death, rotting flesh and bones. Self righteousness is for what? What does it gain you to be self righteous? We are born into a self righteous body that we all struggle with. If you don't think there is a problem then that's one of your problems. Simply looking at church attendance and comparing the numbers for each service will quickly explain a self righteous attitude they people do not need to worship or repent. 2 Cor 10:12 comparing us to the dung, waste of cattle - farmers look at the waste in order to make sure they are healthy and eating correctly. In the end, it's still dung, waste. One pile of dung is just the same as another pile of dung just the same as one person is just a human the same as the next.
|Preached by Tommy Boring on January 3, 2018 (Wednesday).
|It's All There
|John 3:14-18 (Part of the Miscellaneous series).
|God loves the sinner. Genesis 1 clearly states that God created everything one sees, therefore evolution simply does not exist. If one denies the creation that God created then they've denied God himself. It should not surprise anyone that the world is falling away from God faster and faster. The building that you're sitting in was more than likely built by a master plan before the ground was broke and before the first nail was hammered. It doesn't matter if you were there or not, simple faith tells you that there was a creator and the building didn't just evolve into a building because it was needed. There was one thing that was created totally different than the rest. No other animal was created with a soul. Humans were made by Gods breath. The evidence is all the same when one begins to study. The difference is the foundation in which they believe from. If one wants to believe that God didn't create the rock then their outcome will be that God didn't create it. In Genesis God clearly states what the definition of one day is however we want to say it took billions of years to create something. They want to remove Genesis's because without God creating the world then people have no higher being to worship, only themselves. If you tell someone that you doubt Genesis as being truth then how can you believe that Jesus came to save the world? It's not your choice whether to pick and choose what you want to believe. We as parents make a children go to the school systems to be taught an ungodly way of teaching. It's not an option, if the child answers it wrong then they fail, it's not a theory, it's being taught as truth. It's being taught because the ones that created evolution are atheists. We a Christians have a text book that tells us how old the entire universe is. We know how long the rocks have been here. We know how old the earth is all the way the the buried skeletons. Darwin states that the race is made up of the fittest, surely by now we would be the smartest thing alive by now but yet we are dying daily by cancers and diseases that we can't cure. Since the beginning of time people have always wanted to rid the world of God. It's Satan's mission to remove God. We all believe in things that we don't understand.
|Preached by Tommy Boring on January 1, 2017 (Sunday Morning).
|Itching Ears & Counterfeit Money (Part 1)
|2 Peter 2:1-3 (Part of the 2 Peter 2 series).
|Whether you are accepting or not to the Word, it will always go out. We should always be aware that man should not be listened to over God. People have always wanted an easy solution. There is not another gospel other than that of Jesus Christ. We should stand and be faithful to the truth of God. We are living in a world where people look at the truth as an infringement on their lives. Anyone can look at the world and see that their was a designer. People do not like God because it clashes with their lifestyle. People say they want the truth but they really don't, they only want what they want, something that tickles their ears. There will be consequences to avoiding God's Word. Personal opinions and agendas simply do not matter when it comes to God's. God has not changed and will not change. Living amongst us today are also false prophets that have false motives, messages and beliefs. There have always been and always will be those that want to teach false teaching. Those are the enemies of God and they can not be battled with our flesh but only in prayer. What motivates false teachers is greed. God's will is that no one should parish in the end. Those that are unlearned in Gods Word and they will be preyed upon by the false teachers. God has never promised wealth, health and prosperity. Not only are there false teachers but there teaching are also false. Anything that doesn't declare that God is the only god then it's a false message. Unbelief is the only thing that will keep anyone out of heaven. The false teachers also have false motives. Truth can be used as a disguise for a lie. How many people are tricked by someone saying it's ok because this scripture says one thing so it must be ok. We don't have to know all the lies, only the truth. To find counterfeit money one doesn't study the counterfeiters, they study the real money. The true definition of truth means that there can be only one truth. All of the others are false. By definition God is love but God has also declared what is a sin and He hates sin. God has not changed His mind on what is sin. Are we living in a time such as these? In the end we will al be judged, not by someone else but by God's Word the Holy Bible. Buddha can't help you, Mary can't help you, Money won't buy your way in, Grandparents salvation or church going won't help, Church attendance won't help, Allah won't help, etc. Only the truth, Jesus Christ, living God will help you on judgement.
|Preached by Tommy Boring on December 27, 2015 (Sunday Morning).

What is sports injury rehabilitation?
Athletes are prone to injuries, especially during training or sporting events, due to the excessive wear and tear associated with the demands of the sports engaged. Sports injuries are defined as injuries involving the musculoskeletal system which consists of the tissues, muscles, cartilage, and bones. Rehabilitation is as important as treatment following any injury; it is a restoration process of one's fitness and ability in doing an activity involving power, endurance, strength and flexibility. The aim of a rehabilitation program is to regain the pre-injury levels in all aspects of physical fitness.
How does sports injury rehabilitation work?
A sports injury rehabilitation program starts with an assessment of your injury. Depending on the injury and sport the patient engages in, our physical therapists will discuss and prescribe a comprehensive exercise regime consisting of exercises and stretching routines to improve your mobility, balance, flexibility and strength.
There are 3 recognized stages of rehabilitation, and they are as follows:
- Early stage rehabilitation – This stage is prone to re-injury as if rehabilitation is rushed, resulting in poor quality healing. It should consist of gentle exercises, allowing the damaged tissues to heal.
- Mid-stage rehabilitation – This stage allows tensile strength in the bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons to develop progressively, producing healed tissue which is able to withstand the strain of exercise and everyday life.
- Final stage of rehabilitation – This stage ensures the body is ready to work as the tissues in the body adapts and is stressed using functional drills and exercises.
Why should i do sports injury rehabilitation?
Aside from helping patients regain their physical functions, sports injury rehabilitation has also been found to benefit patients in the following ways:
- Increased cell metabolism
- Increased lymphatic drainage
- Relief of spasms
- Increased extensibility of connective tissues
- Restoration of correct joint functions
- Strengthening of weak muscles
- Increased stretching of tight muscles
- Minimizing the risks of future injuries
- Improving your flexibility and coordination
- Maintaining cardiovascular fitness while you are out of sports

The Precision Farming Event is scheduled for Wednesday, March 2 at the East of England Showground in Peterborough. It will feature John Deere machinery that makes precision farming far more productive and efficient, according to a published report.
The market's best terrain compensation performance and satellite is believed to be the StarFire 3000, which will be at the fair. The StarFire 3000 also is better equipped for GPS and GLONASS signals and it is more able to catch more faint satellite signals.
Setting a precedent as one of the first to be awarded a certificate for conformity, the John Deere third generation GreenStar 2630 display was scheduled to be at the fair. The ISOBUS 2011 demonstrates how devoted Deere is to ensuring its equipment is compatible with other equipment.
The John Deere GreenStar 2630 Display Documentation software has preinstalled Parallel Tracking manual guidance and ISOBUS VT capability. For upgrades, available options include solutions for implement guidance, iTEC Pro automatic headland management and automatic section control.
A new 2011 8R Series tractor also will be featured. That tractor will be equipped with a GreenStar 3 Command Centre display that employs AutoTrac steering, so it doesn't require an additional display.

Hunters Point Library sits along the East River waterfront in Long Island City, wedged between two notable landmarks—the famous Pepsi-Cola sign and the Long Island sign in Gantry Plaza State Park. Designed by Steve Holl Architects, this newest branch of the Queens Library system has an extremely futuristic look and feel; a concrete building with cutouts along its shiny aluminum sides makes it more like a work of art than your run-of-the-mill library. Surrounding the library is park space overlooking the water, and inside readers will find children's, teen and adult sections, along with a ground-level reading garden and a rooftop one with panoramic views of the City.

I am writing a book which details the convicts and voyage of the convict ships Atlas1 and the Hercules. It also covers Major George Johnston and his background. A question, it has been noted on your site that Johnston was on the Hercules when it arrived in June 1802. My research from the records show him arriving on the 'Buffalo' in October 1802. Would much appreciate your advice where the record of his being on the Hercules was obtained. Happy to provide the final chapter on the ship when completed.
Kind regards
