Movie Vine Celebrity Entertainment News. Behold the 900-MPH Supersonic Ping-Pong Bazooka. The Internet can teach you how to build a gun that launches ping-pong balls at a few hundred miles per hour. Big deal—where's the fun in shooting projectiles at subsonic speed? To kick it up a notch, a team of mechanical engineers at Purdue University has reconfigured the ping-pong-ball gun into a supersonic bazooka. Click here to watch as it turns four aluminum cans into shrapnel. For years, Mark French has been using the regular subsonic version of the gun to teach kids about physics. "I've brought it to 4-H clubs and to schools. I've gotten ridiculous mileage out of this thing. With all that use, you can't help but wonder whether you can improve it. " The typical setup uses a PVC plastic tube, with a ping-pong ball inside, that's sealed on both ends with duct tape. On a hunch, French and his students modified the gun with a convergent–divergent nozzle, the type used in rocket engines and supersonic wind tunnels to accelerate air flow.
USA TODAY. Big objection to small pickle's name leads to change. Chelley Martinka, a Rhode Island mom, found a pickle of a problem recently while shopping for, well, pickles. She noticed that Cains, a popular pickle brand in New England made by Minnesota’s own M.A. Gedney Co., had an offering called “midgets.” It’s a term that’s offensive to people born with dwarfism, as well as their families. And Martinka’s daughter, now 10 months old, had been diagnosed with the condition soon after birth. So, she blogged about the issue, made a YouTube video and contacted Gedney, the 132-year-old pickle maker with a national presence and a brand particularly well-known in the Twin Cities. “My jaw didn’t drop to the floor — I hope that companies listen to their consumers — but I was surprised,” Martinka told the Star Tribune.
New labels are being designed now, Spector told her, though there’s six months; worth of product with the “midget” label in inventory. The Internet long ago opened a forum for consumers, and many companies have kept their proverbial ears open. Hacker says security flaw let him access any Facebook profile | Internet & Media. Saving and Reforesting the Brazilian Rainforest with Alana Lea. Alana Lea, Author of Trees of Transformation, talks to OPM about the tragic plight of the Atlantic Rain Forest and solutions that can be implemented to allow sustainable reforestation of this very important eco system. A few years back I helped co-found and was on the member board of Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB) This was a wonderful organization built on the concept of sustainable giving.
Non-profits, who have to compete (beg) for funds, send a percentage of the donations out to the field and then go back to compete for more. An unsustainable process at best. HUB was a short success for reasons I will not go into here. It did, however attract some of the top philanthropists and thought leaders of our time like Lynn Twist, Barbra Marx Hubbard, Jean Houston, Jack Canfield, Dr. Alana Lea was one of those incredible people. The Atlantic Rainforest From Wikipedia The Atlantic Forest is now designated a World Biosphere Reserve, which contains a large number of highly endangered species. Prenatal testing prompts rise in abortions of 'deaf' babies. By Neetu Chandra Published: 00:45 GMT, 18 February 2013 | Updated: 00:45 GMT, 18 February 2013 Around 68 per cent of would-be parents opt for genetic testing Hearing loss can be a curse if it's linked to a revelation as heart-breaking as this.
According to a survey conducted by Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram hospital, a majority of would-be parents would opt for an abortion if knew they are going to have a hearing-impaired child. The study was published in a recent issue of American Journal of Medical Genetics. The research-based study was conducted for four years - 2005 to 2009 - on at least 51 families with a history of congenital hearing loss. "Around 93 per cent of the couples expressed high interest in prenatal diagnosis, while 73 per cent considered termination if the foetus was affected," Dr Ishwar C Verma, chairman, department of genetics, Sir Ganga Ram hospital, said. The result in cases of hearing couples, in whom genetic anomalies were identified, was even more disheartening.
