Listen and Write - Dictation Emotional Equations What is NaNoWriMo? NaNoWriMo (El Mes Nacional de la Escritura de Novela) es un enfoque divertido y lleno de improvisación en la escritura de novelas. Los participantes comienzan a escribir el primero de noviembre y la meta es escribir una novela de aproximadamente 175 páginas (50,000 palabras) antes de la edianoche del 30 de noviembre. Valorando el entusiasmo y la perseverancia más que la artesanía meticulosa, NaNoWriMo es un programa de escritura de novelas para todos aquellos que han pensado vagamente en escribir una novela pero se han amedrentado por el tiempo y el esfuerzo envueltos. Debido al tiempo limitado para escribir, lo ÚNICO que importa en NaNoWriMo es la producción. Es cantidad sobre calidad. Este enfoque suicida te obliga a bajar tus expectativas, tomar riesgos y a escribir sobre la marcha. No te engañes: vas a escribir mucha basura y eso es algo positivo. En el año 2008 tuvimos 120,000 participantes. En resumen: ¿Qué? ¿Quién? ¿Por qué? ¿Cuándo? ¿Dudas?
REVERBERAÇÕES Rethinking Grammar: How We Talk Rethinking Grammar - How We Talk We judge people by the way they speak and the grammar they use. Listen to several Americans from different regions speak. Fran Drescher: What’s this about? James Earl Jones: “I feel wonderful to be back on Broadway.” Sarah Palin: “The difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Dolly Parton: “You know I’ll wake up sometimes from a dream and think I’d better get up and write that down or I’ll forget it.” Surfer: “Dude you got the best barrels ever dude.” John F. Tom Brokaw: “A moment that will live forever. Wendy Williams: “How is it getting up and being there and getting your hair fried and the eye lashes and all that stuff.” Rosie Perez: “I’m exhausted.” Rhett Buetler: “Everybody kind of relates rodeo with kind of a wild energizing experience…something that gets out of control.” As you listened to these different speakers, you probably started to form ideas about them. Non-standard dialects Linguists call these non-standard dialects. Dr. Presidential Grammar
The end of the high G force thrill ride? By Robert Niles: Traditionally, thrill ride fans measured the intensity of their favorite rides three ways: tallest, fastest, longest. But over the past decade, theme park thrills have added a fourth dimension. G forces. Not height, not speed, not length, but the pressure exerted on one's body. With twists, turns and sharp acceleration, even a relatively low speed ride can exert force on the body three, four and even five times the force of gravity. Witness Rock n' Roller Coaster at the Disney-MGM Studios theme park in Walt Disney World, where yesterday a 12-year-old boy died. High G forces and circulatory problems provide a potentially fatal mix. Yes, theme parks could do more to warn their visitors of the danger of high G attractions. To that end, I'm asking registered Theme Park Insider readers today to help us collect that information. The theme park industry already is moving away from the high thrill arms race of the past decade. Theme Park Insider: Orlando 2014

Angle of attack The arrow is the vector representing the velocity of the air in the free stream around a stationary two-dimensional airfoil. The upper red line is the chord line of the airfoil and the lower red line is parallel to the arrow. The angle α is the angle of attack. In fluid dynamics, angle of attack (AOA, or In aerodynamics, angle of attack specifies the angle between the chord line of the wing of a fixed-wing aircraft and the vector representing the relative motion between the aircraft and the atmosphere. Since a wing can have twist, a chord line of the whole wing may not be definable, so an alternate reference line is simply defined. Some British authors have used the term angle of incidence instead of angle of attack. Relation between angle of attack and lift[edit] The lift coefficient of a fixed-wing aircraft varies with angle of attack. Critical angle of attack[edit] The critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient. Very high alpha[edit]
