![]() ![]() However, the myth surrounding the figure of Yu continues to be an influential force on Chinese rulers and culture up to the modern day.ĭivine and honourable Yu, revered founder of the Xia Dynasty, we humbly beseech your wisdom and guidance. Because of the mythic nature of the Xia dynasty and the lack of written records from Erlitou archaeological sites, it is impossible to judge the veracity of Yu's rule. As the founder of the Xia Dynasty, Yu is understood as the first ruler of the dynastic cycle an important political theory in Chinese history which represents China as a single continuous civilization ruled by a succession of different dynasties. Yu the Great was a legendary Chinese ruler famed for his upright moral character, the introduction of flood control, and inaugurating dynastic rule in China. Continued archeological surveys of Erlitou sites are needed in order to form a more complete picture of China's first state. The details concerning the Xia Dynasty, first recorded more than a millennium later during the Western Zhou period, are largely understood to be mythical serving as a counterpoint to the subsequent Shang Dynasty and ultimately to justify the Chinese dynastic cycle. ![]() However, although Xia is an important element in Chinese historiography, there is to date no archeological evidence to corroborate the dynasty. During the Erligang period, 1600-1250 BC, Erlitou decreased in importance and was ultimately abandoned.īecause of temporal and geographic overlap, the culture is often assumed to correlate to the Xia Dynasty. ![]() This period saw an increase in bronze metallurgy and urbanization with palatial buildings, royal tombs, paved roads, and rammed earth foundations attesting to the complexity and importance of Erlitou sites. Evolving from the Longshan culture, Erlitou emerged as the first state-level society in East Asia around 1900-1600 BC. The Erlitou culture of China's central plain marks the decisive shift out of East Asia's Neolithic period, ushering in the beginning of Chinese civilization. ![]()

It was aboard Friendship 7 that John Glenn became the third man to orbit the Earth. Perhaps the most famous payload launched on the shoulders of Atlas was the Friendship 7 spacecraft in 1962. The lightweight balloon structure, along with the ability to drop the booster engines in flight, allowed the Atlas to approach conventionally staged rockets in performance while still retaining the ability to start and test all main engines while still safely on the ground. Some displays have had an internal structure built within the tanks to provide support.) If the air compressor fails for any reason, the rocket is at risk of collapsing. The structure, known as a 'balloon' structure, was so lightweight that the fuel tanks needed to be continuously pressurized to avoid collapsing under their own weight! (Atlas rockets on display at museums use an air compressor to keep the tanks pressurized. Balloon Tank StructureĪnother design feature of the Atlas was the use of an extremely lightweight structure. ![]() By shedding the weight of the two booster engines, the Atlas was now light enough to fly all the way to orbit using only the sustainer engine. After a short period of time, the rocket became light enough and the two booster rockets were dropped. The inner engine, sometimes referred to as the sustainer engine, remained permanently attached to the rocket, while the two outer engines, known as booster engines, were used only during the first few minutes of flight.Īs the rocket rose into the air, fuel was consumed at a fast rate. First of all, of the three main rocket engines on the Atlas, only one remained with the Atlas all the way to orbit. The radical solution developed was two fold. Using conventional staging, with second stage engines starting in flight, would simply be too unreliable given 1950's technology. The only way to ensure that a rocket started correctly was to start the engines while the rocket was still on the ground. However, chemical rockets of this era could not be reliably started. Clearly, there were significant benefits to the concept of 'staging', or the dropping of used engines and fuel tanks to lighten a rocket as it heads toward orbit. In the 1950's, rocket designers faced a number of serious challenges. One unusual feature of the Atlas rocket is its unique staging system. ![]() ![]() Over the last 50 years, more than 600 Atlas rockets have flown. ![]() Although its career as a nuclear armed missile was short-lived, the Atlas has evolved into one of the worlds premier satellite launchers.

![]() ![]() Velocity (V) is usually given in feet per second (fps) and mass (M) is given in pounds, derived from the weight (W) of the bullet in grains, divided by 7000 grains per pound times the acceleration of gravity (32 ft/sec) so that: The external ballistics of a bullet's path can be determined by several formulae, the simplest of which is: (Jandial et al, 2008) External ballistics (from gun to target) The effect upon the subsequent flight path of the bullet is usually insignificant. This results from minor (rarely major) imperfections or variations in rifling or tool marks within the barrel. (Volgas, Stannard and Alonso, 2005)Īs the bullet traverses the barrel of the gun, some minor deformation occurs, called setback deformation. Up to a point of diminishing pressure, the longer the barrel, the greater the acceleration of the bullet. Bullet travel through a gun barrel is characterized by increasing acceleration as the expanding gases push on it, but decreasing pressure in the barrel as the gas expands. The last of these factors is a function of barrel length. Therefore, the energy transmitted to the bullet (with a given mass) will depend upon mass times force times the time interval over which the force is applied. ![]() The area here is the base of the bullet (equivalent to diameter of barrel) and is a constant. The controlled expansion of gases from burning gunpowder generates pressure (force/area). It is difficult in practice to measure the forces within a gun barrel, but the one easily measured parameter is the velocity with which the bullet exits the barrel (muzzle velocity) and this measurement will be used in examples below. Higher pressures require a bigger gun with more recoil that is slower to load and generates more heat that produces more wear on the metal. More powder can also be used in rifle cartridges because the bullet chambers can be designed to withstand greater pressures (50,000 to 70,000 for rifles psi vs. (Euteneuer and Courts, 2021) Internal, or initial ballistics (within the gun)īullets fired from a rifle will have more energy than similar bullets fired from a handgun. The wounding potential of projectiles is a complex matter. The flight path of a bullet includes: internal travel down the barrel, external path through the air, and terminal path through a target. The term ballistics refers to the science of the travel of a projectile in flight. ![]() ![]() ![]() Most Fractional Rulers are based on the English measuring system where scales are graduated in units of one inch and fractions of an inch. Decimal Rulers have graduations or marks which are based on the decimal system such as 0.5, 0.25, 0.1, 0.05, etc. Fractional Rulers have graduations or marks based on fractions, for example 1/2", 1/4" 1/8", 1/16", etc. There are two types of scales commonly used on rulers Fractional and Decimal. Take the 0.37 feet and divide by 0.0833 4.44 inches. Take the decimal fraction of feet and divide by 0.08333 (1/12th) and this will give you inches and decimals of an inch.

And maybe a submission form for found codes, but it's up for you all to use, enjoy, and break in weird ways in the meantime. I'd like to put in a way of reporting a code as expired or broken, and it might also be nice to have a way to mark a code as being used by the individual. But on the side the lot of you will care about it's pretty damn simple. ![]() It's actually far more complicated at the moment than it needs to be on the back end, because I am trying to relearn some skills I dropped by the wayside after a few years of working too much in other fields. Something I'm calling "The page the was asked to be made, but done in a way far less pretty than someone else would have managed with a moderate bit of effort befitting a slacking slackerface" (I'll work on the name) You could also call it a list of "Active BL2 SHiFT Codes" but that seems long. So a few hours later a project sprung from the ether. However, I was far far too busy to actually do it, since there were so many other things on my plate at the moment. It seemed like a neat little side project I could do with minimal effort, which are honestly my favorite kinds. This lead to what Reddit always leads to, which is me spending far longer than I should going through random threads and eventually finding /u/Adamantaimai posting about the need for a list of active keys. So a friend and I had started playing the game pretty hard and I decided to look to Reddit for some tips on farming. r/PandoranRedCross - Donations & Power Leveling r/Borderlands3 - Gearbox can count to 3. r/TinyTinaWonderlands - Assault on Dragon Keep 2?

I know, this song isn’t exactly named “Rockstar” but imagine I left a RiRi and Slash track off of this list. He’s full of talent and this song shows his chops, with a warble reminiscent of Young Thug lets hope Duki doesn’t fizzle out like so many rappers out of Latin America tend to. It was really only a matter of time before trap really made waves in Latin America, and 2017 was huge for artists like Duki. Duki’s “Rockstar” pops off over a pretty standard trap beat but it absolutely bangs. Easily the biggest surprise of this list was a rapper out of Argentina. Rising stardom was no match for the curse of painfully average songs named “Rockstar.”Īt least this track is thematically different than most of the others, and as far as mediocre country music goes, it’s pretty good! It has a place somewhere on your BBQ playlist, or maybe saved on your mom’s Satellite Radio favorites… but in the end, it’s pretty forgettable. Hailed as, “ Country Music’s Next Rising Star” Dylan Schneider is a young guy whose name will probably be kicked around a ton in 2018 (don’t forget who put you on). “Every word of them Rolling Stones/Stacy’s mom had it going on/Lived Three Doors Down I can see her now/Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free/If you Blink 182 then you’d miss me and her” You know those guys in school who spoke in their own language because literally, everything they said was a reference? Yeah, well imagine that but in a country-pop song about rock music. A pair of Bon Jovi knockoffs stuck with that same tired sound, their 2015 “Rockstar” is uninspired and probably not worth your time. Nelson are a couple of guys that should probably heed that advice. ![]() It was the rawest we would ever get with rock icons, they were vicious, flamboyant, wicked talented, and as much as I would love to see the AC/DC tour fronted by Axl Rose, at some point these guys need to hang it up. Having a soft spot of 80s hair metal is pretty on brand for me. Maybe Dappy should just stick to politics. ![]() Now, I’m no grime expert, but the fact that Dappy could pull legendary Queen guitarist, Brian May probably means this track bangs, right? Unfortunately, that’s very far from the truth. But what’s better than the movie is it’s actually amazing 26(!!) song soundtrack, where you can find a serious Skepta deep cut, some Drake, a little Nicki Minaj, and our good friend Dappy. Brian MayĪhh, who could forget the British cinema classic Street Dance 2 that boasts a whopping 47% on Rotten Tomatoes? Surely not me. Also, after a little bit of research, I found out that they performed this song on a later season of Glee, so that’s how you know it’s some really groundbreaking stuff. It sounds a lot like what I would imagine the sad lovechild of Ben Folds and Owl City sounds like after three glasses of chardonnay. ![]() I try really hard to keep an open mind diving into new music but this track is rough. It took several attempts to get through this one. So without any more fanfare, here’s the official, unequivocal, and definitive ranking of songs named “Rockstar.” 10. Now that Post Malone’s ‘rockstar’ seems to have run its course on the radio, it can be placed forever in the canon alongside all other rockstars singing about rockstars.

Launching the Cloudtag Track at CES has enabled the progression of existing relationships with potential customers and the creation of new opportunities for commercialisation. These include discussions with some of the world's largest consumer technology manufacturers, one of Europe's leading sporting goods distributors and two of North America's largest department stores and retail groups. Furthermore, B2B opportunities with insurance providers and mobile phone operators have been generated. The Directors of CloudTag are confident that several of these opportunities will lead to commercial arrangements and look forward to updating the market in due course as discussions progress further. The Company completed the development of its wearable product in November 2015, including the product design and electronics of the CloudTag Track and the beatSMART clip. Eckles said the university did not get any additional information from the authorities, figuring they wanted to protect their investigation. CLOUDTAG UPDATE FULLįully functional devices with the embedded algorithms measuring the full ECG, calculating energy expenditure and automatically identifying the various activity types were integrated with the mobile application and the Cloud architecture. ![]() Production tooling has been setup and the production run of devices for the product launch were received by the Company in November 2015. The Company is now focussed on increasing the Far East production with commercial quantities of devices in Q2 2016 so that they are ready for delivery pending orders being received from retailers, distributors and other partners. On 24 December 2015, the Company filed a number of UK patent applications covering the proprietary in-house designed sensors, signal processing algorithms, sensors utilising natural and man-made materials, innovative mechanical body attachments and the product system architecture. ![]() |
