TOXIC: West Virginia. We went to West Virginia to investigate mountain-top removal – which a way of extracting coal from deposits under mountains.

TOXIC: West Virginia

Instead of drilling into the mountain and sending men underground to take out the coal in the traditional way, they just take the whole top of a mountain off. A mountain is built like a cake. You have your worthless rock-minerals, whatever, and then you have your icing, which is the coal. Canadian Oil Sands Flyover.

It’s a bold claim, but I’m going to make it and back it up with two example games… HTML5 is *the* best platform for rapid game development available right now. I’m a student at the University of Texas, and two weeks ago, another UT student was hit by a bus (video embedded below, he made it out without serious injuries). As soon as I saw the video start going viral, I decided I would make a game for it. 24 hours later, the game was complete and went viral itself. Pirate Bay Ban Rockets Pirate Party Website Into The Big Time. The court-ordered ISP blockade of The Pirate Bay immediately backfired earlier this month when it massively raised awareness and caused the site to receive millions of extra visitors. Now, and as a direct result of the Pirate Bay ban, the website of the UK Pirate Party is benefiting hugely too. In just over three weeks it has jumped more than 100,000 places in the UK rankings and any moment now will become the 1,500th most-visited website in the country.

The Pirate Bay has suffered censorship in many countries across Europe but the recent steps against the torrent site in the UK have generated a much bigger response than similar actions previously taken against the site elsewhere.

Coordinates: Target: the wreck of the K-129[edit] In April 1968, Soviet Pacific Fleet surface and air assets were observed conducting a surge deployment to the North Pacific Ocean that involved some unusual search operations. The activity was evaluated by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) as a possible reaction to the loss of a Soviet submarine. Soviet surface ship searches were centered on a location known to be associated with Soviet Golf II Class SSB strategic ballistic missile diesel submarine patrol routes.

These submarines carried three nuclear missiles in an extended sail/conning tower and routinely deployed to within missile range of the U.S. west coast. Building the Glomar Explorer, and its cover story[edit] Recovery[edit] Flying platforms invented during WW2 : science. Hiller Model 1031-A-1 Flying Platform - Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. In the mid-1950s, Hiller constructed a series of innovative Flying Platforms for an Army-Navy program as a one-man flying vehicle that the pilot could control with minimal training.

The pilot simply leaned in the desired direction and the platform would follow. The platforms, which utilized the aerodynamic advantages of the ducted fan, were incapable of tumbling, because if the pilot leaned over too far, the platform would pitch up and slow down. The 1031-A-1 is the second of the Flying Platform prototypes and was the first to operate out of ground effect (aerodynamic cushion caused by thrust hitting the ground). The Army contracted for a larger, improved model - the VZ-1 - but the extra engines required for redundancy if the primary failed made the platform so heavy that it was impossible for the pilot to control the craft kinesthetically (by leaning), defeating the purpose of the design.
