I've always been intrigued by the Tesla coil at Fry's Electronics, a number of bright bolts just flying rampant. Nikola Tesla has delivered a number of contributions that is still used today. The majority of electric power today has been derived from Nikola. He changed the efficiency of electric current, discovered transmitting and receiving radio signals, created first RC boat, and his most popular invention the Tesla coil. Arriving in the US in 1884 at age 28, Nikola had always has the passion…
by. One of the first things we did was to charter a bush pilot to take us out into an incredibly remote section where we would have two days of guided fly fishing. After an incident in the plane where the words "It doesn't work" I heard many times flying only feet above the trees, we arrived. There were only two small cabins on the shores of a glacial lake, and except for the three of us and our guide, we were truly alone. The fishing was amazing, not only did I catch a fish nearly as tall as…
analyzed for the purposes of better understanding the process of alternate dispute and resolution.

As a result, between these two vessels, two fishermen of the St Anthony were killed. The question continues as to which state has the claim to jurisdiction. The main goal of making use of an alternative dispute resolution between the two…
Doors of landing craft opening only to have entire groups of soldiers mowed down in machine gun fire before ever leaving the craft. A veritable bullet storm covers the beach, flying every direction. Explosions rock the shores over and again: mortars, field artillery, shore batteries and defense-softening charges to remove barbwire and crew-served weapon entrenchments. But the Allies must push forward, if not for their lives then…
Getting from place to place can be a life and death prospect. Transportation in the modern era has so transformed our lives, to the extent that we take for granted how it can also save our lives. In the developed world, we simply dial 911 and emergency services arrive quickly, sometimes in minutes. But consider what technologies that timeliness requires; roads, vehicles, and/or aircraft. Unfortunately for many, such equipment is too expensive and will remain so for the foreseeable future. But…
Pearl Harbour attack was a great accomplishment of the Japanese Naval Aviation force at that time. Each of the perspectives carries its own merit, but the one that strongly support most is that Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour was a great success. All quotes support that it was a Japanese success. Michael Slackman, a consulting historian to the U.S. Navy, described the attack as “almost textbook perfect”.8This perspective is similar to that given by book Target: Pearl Harbor (1990). Gordon…
Based on Ústí municipal seals (the oldest seal dates back to 1380), it can be concluded that the symbol used on/in the coat of arms was a lion. The seal from 1380 depicts a shield with a lion which had a boat with oars instead of a helmet. This original symbol was described in detail in the charter of King Ladislaus the Posthumous. At that time, the Ústecký lion depicted on the shield was green which was the colour considered lower than red. The sources…
The airplane has affected the world all throughout history. Throughout history, before the Wright brothers, man had dreamed of flying through the skies like a bird. Man had attempted many times with the same general idea. They believed that if they could gather enough feathers and keep them together, that they would be able to soar through the sky. Even though many had failed and some had died, man was still determined. They believed they could get it to work. And that is where the Wright…
