It may not be much but making a parachute could be a very fun activity, both for the exercise of knowledge on aerodynamics , or maybe some things more about physics and just for the sheer fun of it. Also, it is a good alternative to common toys seen in the market today.
Introduction
A parachute is a device which of drag to slow down its descent from high latitudes. It was invented by a man named Louis-Sébastien Lenormand during 1783 and is not used both for military and recreational activities. Its general design includes a canopy of a lightweight fabric that supports the suspension lines and is supported by tapes. Similar materials are used in almost all forms of parachutes.
Here are three modifications on making a parachute.
A piece preferably 30 cm sq (handkerchief, bandana or scarf could be used)
A weight (could be a small toy, washer or any piece of small item that could give sufficient weight to the parachute)
4 pieces of 40 cm long strings
Instructions:
Using the overhand knot, tie each corner of the lightweight cloth. Afterwards, tie each string to of the knot allowing the bulk of the knot to stop the string to slip off. Collect all strings in one hand and pull the center of the cloth using the fingers. Again using an overhand knot, ends of the strings together allowing, as much as possible don’t leave a space at the end of the strings.
Finally, attach the weight to the parachute. If you are using a washer, use a lark’s head test the mini parachute, try dropping it from shoulders’ height. Make the necessary adjustments to achieve better gliding motion.
A polythene bag (I possible make use of a stretchy polythene bag)
Four one-foot long
A paper clip
Modeling clay
Instructions:
Cut a 12 by 12 inch sq from the polythene bag. Make a hole on each side of the square. Tie the strings to all sides of the hole, making the length of all strings as then tie the free ends of the strings using an overhand knot. Attach a paper clip to Meanwhile, make a small model of a person using clay. Estimate the size as to the weight parachute. Attach the person to the paper clip. Afterwards, cut a small hole at the center of the parachute about 1 by 1 cm in diameter.

well. 100 games to 10 games, 150 games to 15 games. ice, how far can you go man? lol, and you aren't going to have 10 games. so its more like… 20 – 30 games on the ps3, 200 to 300 games on the xbox. i can't even name that many without getting into the crappy games, but then again, i don't remember all the amazing titles right now, nor do i count sports games… but if you can name 200 – 300 games worth having/playing, i'll be impressed.
Pretty much, yep! Heck, for most non-AAA computer games, C++ is sheer overkill. That being said, it also depends on what platform you’re programming for. If you’re developing on the Xbox360 and PS3, for example, you have 512mb of ram *total*. Not “512mb of system RAM and 512mb for graphics,” I mean 512mb period. You *need* the control C++ provides over memory management to get a graphics-intensive title running effectively on those platforms.
I had one design instructor suggest that we begin to collect examples of "bad" design. The object was for us to begin taking a critical look at how desing influences the viewer, either as those who simply apreciate art, or as consumers of commercial art applications.
It was EXTREMELY educational, so, you may want to consider the inclusion of some examples of layouts that don't work.

Nothing at all better than a fishing joke. My step father just shared this joke with me: Fishing rules:Fishing rule #1: The least experienced fisherman always catches the biggest fish. Fishing rule #2: The worse your line is tangled, the better is the fishing around you. Fishing rule #3: Fishing will do a lot for a man but it won't make him truthful.
Saying you want something forever is too scary. I say it's more like the first time you jump into the deep end of a pool… you don't really know what's going to happen, but you think it's going to be pretty neat, so you hold your nose and jump.
Hopefully, you also know that if it isn't all it was cracked up to be… someone will pull you out and towel you off.
My Dad and Mom were pioneer pastors 100 years ago. I am now 75 and still remember a song they used to sing about the preacher on the fence.
Here are the words as I recall them.
“Come down, come down, Come down from off the fence. And preach the gospel as it is And take the consequence. Come down, come down, come down, come down, Come down from off the fence. Your duty's plain, you can't remain, A preacher on the fence.

Now kids can enjoy the fun and challenge of Sudoku in a form especially designed for them. In Lola’s Fruit Shop Sudoku the player is invited to help Lola Panda to sort out the fruit. Lola’s Fruit Shop Sudoku is playable even by 4-year old children, yet still challenging enough for 8-9 year old kids.
For the driver…hit up on the ball. For all the other clubs…hit down and through the ball. The more descending arc will make the ball go higher in the air by allowing the loft of the club to get the ball on a higher trajectory.
If you want to express a number as a product of it's primes in index form, would try to divide the number by the smallest prime number first, then work your way up.
120/2=60 60/2= 30 30/2= 15 15/3= 5 5/5=1
as you can see from above, 2*2*2*3*5 makes 120. This can be simplified 2^3 *3*5.
168= 2^3*3*7
the two numbers have the 2^3 and the *3 in common. This means the highest common factor must be 2^3*3= 24.
Hmm. Maybe I confuse Pages, Places, and whatever other AccountsThatAren’tPeople thingies Facebook has. Looking around a bit, it looks like Check-ins are meaningless for the work I’m doing… (Deborah: What I’m finding jibes with what you’re making up.)
