Bicycle Unit: Engineering the Wheel
- To learn about the affect of friction on bike tire design.
- To practice teamwork and competition.
- Tape lines to mark where to start measuring distance.
- Ruler.
- 'Ramp Roller Challenge' and 'Tire Chart' Worksheets.
- Homemade LEGO kits (consisting of different types of wheels, axles, bushings, beams, bricks and weighted bricks).
- Other materials that cars could be constructed out of:
– Wood, cardboard, straws, old containers, art supplies, blocks, etc.
- Make a ramp that is about 25 cm high and mark starting point on ramp and start point for measuring distance at the bottom of the ramp.
- Photocopy a 'Tire Chart' worksheet for each student.
- Photocopy a 'Ramp Roller Challenge' Worksheet for each student.
Friction is a force that affects the wheels of a bike because tires are the part of the bike in contact with the road. Friction is the force that appears when two things rub together (rub your hands – makes heat). The smoother two objects sliding against each other are, the less friction there is. Microscopic ridges are what interact with each other when any two objects meet. If a wheel had no friction it would not be able to move a bike; it would just spin in one place. However, too much friction causes a rolling wheel to slow down, and makes it harder to pedal.Vocabulary:
- Show students two different bike tires; one from a mountain bike and the other from a road bike (pictures are fine, the real thing is better).
- Have each student fill out the 'Tire Chart' worksheet attached to this document to examine the properties of each wheel and the reason that property is there.
- E.g., MOUNTAIN BIKE WHEEL – Property: wide tires, Reason for Property: More surface area on the ground for better stability
Part 2:
- Have students build an object that will travel the farthest once it rolls down a ramp.
- Remind the students that you used the word "object" because they do not have to design anything that resembles a car.
- Once students have built their original design, let the students test their design on the ramp.
- Students should record their results on the 'Ramp Roller' worksheet: the distance traveled from the bottom of the ramp, and the design changes that they make.

Future Launchers Preparatory Programme
The Future Launcher Preparatory Programme (FLPP) is a European Space Agency (ESA) programme that aims to mature technology for a "Next Generation Launcher" as a successor to the Ariane 5 rocket. The programme began in February 2004, and the NGL is foreseen to become operational around the year 2025. A secondary aim of the FLPP is to enhance the reliability and competitiveness of ESA launchers, including those operational as of 2012[update]. The technologies under development may lead to both improved evolutions of the Ariane 5 and to the development of the next generation launcher, the Ariane 6.

- 5 Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV)
- 6 Ariane 5 ME
- 7 Ariane 6
- 8 Recent developments
- 9 See also
- 10 References
- 11 External links
The FLPP is expected to harmonise European launcher technology development activities and steer the restructuring of the European launcher industrial sector, optimizing the use of available resources, and leading to more cost-effective launchers.[citation needed]
ESA was founded around a couple of purposes, one of them was safeguarding the independent access to space for Europe.[1] The development of technologies used on the Ariane 5 started already in 1977, while the first launch occurred in 1999.[2]
The privatization of the American space industry also urges ESA to advance their rocket technologies, otherwise ESA may lose its 50% market share in the GTO launch market.[original research?]
Programme planning[edit]
As of June 2012[update] the FLPP programme contained three periods.[3][dated info]
- Period 1 (2004-2006): During this period they determined which technologies were needed for future rockets and they investigated how launch cost could be dropped.
- Period 2
- Step 1 (2006-2009): Different launcher configurations were defined, the development programmes were defined and the Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) design was completed, during this period.
- Step 2 (2009-2013): This period the different launcher configurations concepts are completed, the IXV is build, tested and flown. And some progress will be made with the technology development and maturalisation programmes.
- Period 3 (2013-2015): During this last period the technology development programmes are finalized and an recommendation will be made for a Next Generation Launcher (NGL) in the form of a preliminary design.
Programme outline[edit]
The Future Launchers Preparatory Programme (FLPP) is a collection of development programmes, whose main focus is technology development and testing.
The FLPP programme was divided in three Subprogrammes as of 2012, namely:[citation needed]
- Next Generation Launcher (NGL), a collection of launcher technology development programmes. It also contains an investigation of launcher concepts. For more info refer to the NGL chapter.
- Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV), the re-entry technology development programme.
- Ariane 5 ME (Mid-life Evolution), also known as Ariane 5 ECB. This is the technology application part of the FLPP and will be the first derivative of the FLPP programme.
The following chart offers an overview of the FLPP programme:
Next Generation Launcher (NGL)[edit]
The purpose of Next Generation Launcher (NGL) is to develop concepts and technologies for the next generation launcher. This rocket (family) will succeed the Ariane 5, and at the start of the programme it was supposed to get operational between 2015 and 2025.[citation needed] The NGL programme consists of three investigation topics:
- Launcher concepts
- Propulsion technologies
- Other technologies
Launcher concepts[edit]
At the start of the programme two design strategies were envisioned: The first was direct application of available technologies and launcher elements. It was called Building Block concepts, they could be operational by 2015. The second was named NGL and assumed that new technologies would be developed. Because of that these new technologies they would become operational between 2020 and 2025. The blue pages of the 150th ESA bulletin [4] named six concepts. Four of these have been described in a NGL status report [5] that was released in 2008. The following six concepts have been evaluated.
The concepts are described by some letters
P = Solid rocket stage
H= Liquid rocket stage
GG= Gas Generator engine cycle
SC= Stage Combustion engine cycle
B=??? most likely another rocket engine cycle.
This is a Building Block concept that is composed of three rocket stages. All are derived from current Ariane 5 and Vega components with minor modifications. The first stage is derived from the Ariane 5 solid rocket booster. It will use the Filament Wound technology developed for the three solid stages of the Vega rocket, and it will contain 250 tons instead of 240 tons of propellant. The second stage is derived from the P80 Vega first stage, but it will contain 110 instead of 88 tons of propellant. The third stage is actually the Ariane 5 ME (Mid-life Evolution also known as A5 ECB) upper stage. This configuration can deliver 3 tons to GTO, two or six 35 tons boosters can be added to boost the performance to 5 or 8 tons.[citation needed]
This is a NGL concept composed of two rocket stages. The first stage is a 150 ton LOX/LH2 liquid rocket stage that is propelled by a 2500 kN Stage Combustion engine. The upper stage also uses LOX/LH2, it will contain 26 ton of propellant and it will use the Vince expander cycle upper stage engine. The two-stage configuration can deliver 3 tons to GTO. With two or six 20-ton boosters the performance can be enhanced to 5 respectively 8 tons.[citation needed]
Like the HHSC configuration this will be a two liquid stage rocket that uses LOX/LH2. The difference is that the first stage will be propelled by a Gas Generator rocket engine with 2750 kN of thrust. For the same performances the first stage will need 170 tons and the upper stage will need 30 tons of propellant. The version with no boosters will deliver 2,5 tons to GTO, but the two or six 20 ton boosters will enhance the performance to 5 respectively 8 tons.[citation needed]
HBHSC & HBHGG[edit]
No information is available about these two concepts as of June 2012. The letters indicate that these concepts will have two liquid rocket stages. The first will use the Stage Combustion (SC) engine and the other the Gas Generator (GG) engine.
This system doesn't use the normal letter indication. This concept is also composed of two liquid rocket stages. The first stage will use 340 tons of LOX/CH4 with two 2650 kN rocket engines. The upper stage will use the Vince engine to burn 30 tons of LOX/LH2. The normal configuration will deliver 5 tons to GTO. With two 40 tons boosters the performance can be enhanced to 8 ton to GTO.[citation needed]
The conclusion from the 2008 report was that the HHSC concept was most promising.[citation needed]
Propulsion technology[edit]
To advance ESA's propulsion technologies the following experiments / development programmes are executed.[6]
VINCI is a new restartable Expander cycle upper stage engine. The development of this engine is nearly completed. Both the A5ME and most of the NGL configurations will use this engine for their upper stage.[citation needed]
Stage Combustion Rocket Engine Demonstrator (SCORE-D), Formerly HTE High Trust Engine. The aim of this programme is to develop new more powerful first stage engine. Two engine cycles are evaluated; Gas Generator (GG) and Stage Combustion (SC) cycle. This engine will provide ESA the capability to lift off a medium sized launcher with a single engine and without the help of boosters.
The Pressure Oscillation Demonstrator – eXperimental (POD-X) experiment tries to advance ESAs knowledge about truss vector oscillation in solid rocket engines. This will help decreasing the vibration loads exerted by future ESA solid rocket stages.[citation needed]
Other technologies[edit]
ESA also advances technologies in the following five technology fields, that are necessary for launchers.[7]
- CURS (Cryogenic Upper Stage Technologies)[8]
- Materials
- Avionics
- Pyrotechnics
- Breakthrough Technologies (Densified propallents, Cryogenic tanks and feed-lines)
Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV)[edit]
The IXV programme will provide state of the art re-entry technology for Europe. During this project a reentry vehicle will be designed, built, tested and flown. The technology that is developed during this programme can be applied to develop reusable launch vehicles.[citation needed]
Ariane 5 ME[edit]
ESA is currently evaluating if they will upgrade the Ariane 5. The main modification will be a new upper stage that uses the Vinci rocket engine. This will be the first implementation of technology developed during the FLPP, because Vinci was developed within the scope of this programme. This new upper stage will be restartable four times and will burn cryogenic propellants (LOX and LH2).[citation needed][dated info]
Ariane 6[edit]
Ariane 6 is a launch vehicle being developed by the European Space Agency to be the newest member in the Ariane launch vehicle family. ESA has finalised the preliminary design of the next generation rocket; a smaller more flexible rocket, featuring the same payload fairing diameter as the Ariane 5 ME and capable of launching a single satellite of 3 to 6.5 tonnes to a geostationary transfer orbit. The vehicle is a three-stage design in which the first stage uses three identical solid rocket motors in a side-by-side configuration, the second stage will use a single identical solid rocket motor mounted above the first stage, the third stage will be a restartable liquid cryogenic Vinci engine to allow for complex and high energy orbits.[citation needed]
Recent developments[edit]
|This section is outdated. (October 2014)
In 2011 during the Space Access Conference the German aerospace company MT Aerospace presented an alternative future launcher vehicle family concept.
In November 2012 ESA will hold its next Ministerial Conference. During this event the ESA member states will determine which programmes they will support the coming 3 to 4 years. One of the main topics will be which launcher development programmes will be executed. So the next steps in the FLPP will be outlined then.

The Amateur's Guide to Love is an American television game show, created by Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley, that ran on CBS from March 27 to June 23, 1972. Gene Rayburn was the emcee, while Kenny Williams was the announcer.
The theme was written by Mort Garson, of Our Day Will Come fame.
Each episode began with Garson's theme song, set to shots of a van emblazoned with the Amateur's Guide to Love logo driving around southern California, with scenes of men and women falling in love with each other. As the van travels around, host Gene Rayburn sets the scene for the game show:
|This little truck goes everywhere in search of lovers - in search, really, of you and me. For each of us, at sometime, has been involved with matters of the heart. Our truck goes to beaches, supermarkets, department stores, wherever there are people. We park outside, hide our camera, and observe our fellow creatures, struggling to do their best in romantic situations. Love has been with us since the dawn of creation, but still, we've never really learned how to handle it. The Amateur's Guide to Love is here to help.
Afterwards, the show would then cut to the studio, where announcer Kenny Williams would introduce this weeks' panelists ("our guidebook advisors"), and Rayburn.
The show somewhat resembled Candid Camera, a show involving guest celebrities and unsuspecting civilians. These people were involved in a comedy situation, taped on location in Southern California using a hidden camera. The subjects in the particular situation were faced with two choices, one of which they needed to choose, that were somehow related to sex, marriage, or love. A celebrity panel voted upon which choice would have been the smartest, and the civilian who picked that particular decision won merchandise prizes.
Broadcast history[edit]
Amateur's Guide was CBS' first daytime game since the cancellation of To Tell the Truth in September 1968. The series replaced reruns of Gomer Pyle, USMC at 4:00 PM (3:00 Central). However, the show failed to make an impact against Somerset on NBC and daytime rebroadcasts of the popular Love, American Style on ABC. Reruns of the sitcom Family Affair replaced it on June 26.
Later that year, CBS returned with game shows in its daytime lineup on September 4 with The New Price is Right, Gambit, and The Joker's Wild. Rayburn himself would return to CBS in July 1973 with a revival of his hit NBC show, Match Game.
Episode status[edit]
One episode is known to exist. The series is thought to be destroyed, but this is not certain as CBS ceased this practice by September 1972. If Amateur's Guide was wiped, it would have been the last game show treated in this manner by the network.

Crystal Serenity first set sail in 2003, but thanks to a $17 million renovation in 2013, the ship now features new Crystal Penthouses and a series of restaurants, including Tastes, which specializes in international cuisine. A main highlight is the new herb garden (added in 2013 to the Lido Deck), which boasts olive trees and fresh lavender. And with 12 onboard restaurants, including specialty venues Prego and Silk Road & The Sushi Bar (a Japanese-inspired venue that serves dishes prepared by Nobu-trained chefs), there are plenty of dining options. In terms of lodging, 85 percent of all staterooms are appointed with verandas (all staterooms offer windows), and each comes outfitted with a flat-screen TV, minifridge, a spacious bathroom appointed with a bathtub and double sink and Wi-Fi access (for a fee). Guests staying in a Penthouse category room have access to extras like Jacuzzis, nightly hors' d'oeuvres and personal butler service. And with its language classes (taught at the Creative Learning Institute), wine and food tastings, and personalized service with 655 crew members catering to 1,070 guests, Crystal has long garnered high marks from cruisers and critics for its tailored onboard experience. There's also a Feng Shui-inspired spa, five bars and lounges and a casino. For travelers craving more activity, the ship also offers plenty of diversions — from "Tour de Spin" indoor cycling classes to the complimentary golf lessons taught by PGA pros on the top deck (on select cruises). In 2015, Crystal Serenity will make its way around the world, with voyages to the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, South America, Australia, the South Pacific, Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean.Read Crystal Serenity Passenger Reviews»

I wonder how I can start mintty in Xorg-mode? (dunno if it called so) Anyway I'm using cygwin, and I execute XWin so I can run emacs in Xorg. However the default shell for XWin is xterm which I wish to change so I can use mintty instead. How to do that?

Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Mintty uses the Windows GUI, not X, so you can't run mintty as an X client. You can run mintty windows on the same screen as X applications, though, so you shouldn't have any problem using it instead of xterm on a system running Cygwin.

Our T-shirt campaign was great! All orders were placed online by each individual so we did not have to order inventory in advance. The t-shirts were delivered to school, ready for distribution to our students. I can't wait to do it again!

The whole experience of running a Booster exceeded my expectations. This is such a valuable service, because it takes a lot of stress away from fundraising. Through Booster we raised 4 times what we thought we would raise!
Celeste Homan, Organizer
Team Nat
We set a small goal of, 'OK, let's try to sell 100 shirts.' Then, we realized, shortly after it went live, that it was going to turn into something way bigger. Ultimately we raised more than $9,000 and sold over 600 shirts to family, friends, and even complete strangers - including a few stationed in Afghanistan.
Tony Re, Organizer
Support Bill Sager
The fact that there are no upfront costs to the organization, that awareness is raised in addition to funds, and that supporters can make additional donations as well as share why they are supporting the campaign, adds up to a low investment with a high return.

Taking Fashion to the French
Ignatova, Yekaterina, Russian Life
In Soviet times, the concept of the fashionable woman always had a negative shade of meaning. Genuine 'builders of communism' simply could not be fashionable dressed. While overalls or KGB uniforms might have been considered ideal dress for the Soviet woman, in real life she would normally wear locally-manufactured skirt suits resembling working clothes. If she were very lucky, she could buy clothes produced in socialist bloc countries, but this generally required spending half a day standing in line. Moreover, as the imported clothes often arrived in big batches of identical items, women found themselves dressing in a kind of involuntary uniform, and there was little room for the expression of individuality.
Perestroika opened the way for young Russian fashion designers eager to dress women. Among them was a charming, long-haired youth called Valentin Yudashkin, an ordinary graduate in fashion design from teacher training school.
Yudashkin started his career in the Moscow House of Fashion, at the time the only one of its kind in the city, managed by Vyacheslav Zaitsev, the only couturier in the Soviet Union. But tensions with Zaitsev and the pressure of working on obligatory state orders persuaded Yudashkin to abandon his job and launch his own business.
In 1987 Yudashkin created his first collection. In those days he could not have even imagined that his clothes would one day appear on the same catwalk as those of Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy and Christian Lacroix. Nevertheless, just four years later Valentin took his Faberge collection to Paris and staged a presentation... in the Russian embassy.
A few years previous, such a scenario would have been simply impossible. The embassy, never before opened to outsiders, received 600 visitors. The demonstration of the Faberge collection, inspired by the works of art created at the turn of the century by the company of the same name (see Russian Life Practical Traveler section, May issue), was highly successful.
Today, many in the fashion industry accuse Yudashkin of having taken advantage of the tide of interest in the Soviet Union to break through to the French market. However, recalled Yudashkin, "when in 1991 I told my French friends that I was going to organize a presentation, they were genuinely surprised. They tried to convince me that nobody would come, since at that time Gorbachev had just sent tanks to the Baltic states."
Since 1992, Yudashkin has been creating haute couture collections and presenting them as a guest of high fashion weeks twice a year in Paris. His models always have a 'Russian flavor,' - rich in ornaments and bright in an almost theatrical way. Many fashion critics consider this feature specific to Russian design and traditions. Russian designers do not simply clothe, they decorate and dress up their models.
Some, Yudashkin among them, used to have great successes with their theatrical costumes, but this led to difficulties breaking into the ordinary fashion market. Historical and theatrical collections of his like Frescos, Catherine the Great and Ballet, and indeed the majority of his designs, are simply unwearable. While Parisian designers look at practical, dark, simply-cut items for forthcoming collections, Yudashkin still aims to impress his audiences with rich colors and an abundance of hoop-skirts. And while the French thoroughly evaluate the cost of material for their new collections, Yudashkin spares no time or expense in his search for the materials he needs.
"I'm fond of expensive and beautiful clothes," he said, "like satin, brocade and silk."
In 1996, the House of Yudashkin became the first Russian (associate) member of the prestigious Chambre Syndicate de la Haute Couture (Syndicate Chamber of High Fashion). …

Just Fine For Me, but maybe not for everyone
Overall, I was happy with the hotel, though I concede that it would not be to everyone's taste.
On the downside, it has to be said that the hotel is in need of refurbishment - I would not describe it as tatty, but the decor is certainly dated, and whilst not worn-out, the carpets in the public areas looked faded and had certainly seen better days. The rooms did not have air-conditioning and in the July temperatures, I ended-up sleeping some nights on the balcony using a beach mattress! An excellent sea view from the balcony, certainly worth paying a supplement for. When I did sleep in the room, the bed was comfortable, all of the bathroom plumbing worked perfectly and we had satellite TV, but tea and coffee facilities would have been nice too. In short, if you want to spend a good deal of your holiday in your room, this is probably not the hotel for you; if you want to use your room for sleeping, washing, changing clothes and small-scale relaxing, it is just fine.
The public hall/lounge was air-conditioned and was very comforting when the midday heat became oppressive. Free wireless internet access was available here and in the bar for those with laptops and it worked faultlessly. Internet terminals were available at a charge on the first floor for those without laptops.
I was happy with the buffet service breakfast and dinner. I have heard people complain about the lack of choice, but I can honestly say that I was able to have something different every day. What was on offer did not change a lot, but there were plenty of choices. Clearly, if you pile your plate high with everything you see every day, you will not notice a great deal of difference though.
Sample breakfast: cereals (approx 4-5, choices), x3 fruit juices, selection of cold meats and salads, yoghurts, selection of bread rolls, cook your own toast, hard boiled eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages. These were available every day; some days bacon, mushrooms, hash browns, fried bread, fried tomato and baked beans were also available. Fresh fruit, fruit salad, peaches in syrup and small cakes were also available every day (water melon was particularly popular). Black, green and fruits teas, coffee, cappuccino were always available as well as hot water if you wanted your own beverage.
Dinner: the hot plate consisted of about 8 different choices, of which around 3 changed every day. These included beef Bolognese, seafood stew, pork and mushroom casserole, fillets of beef chicken, pork, liver, sausages, various fish and seafood. Rice and fried potatoes were available as accompaniment every night. Cold meats, cold meat and seafood salads, sliced cheeses and green salads were always available, but did not change a great deal. Around four-five choices of desert were available very night, including the ubiquitous fresh fruit salad, water melon and cakes. There were no free drinks offered at dinner, but any beverage could be ordered from the waitress, to be paid for then or on the room tab.
Once a week there was a gala evening where extra local specialities were available, a long with a free cocktail and folk music.
Prices at the bar were reasonable and compared favourably with bars and cafes - the outside terrace was particularly pleasant on warm evenings.
The Brioni has an excellent, large indoor swimming pool, but only a small, shallow outdoor pool, which was very popular though. Having said that, it is barely 20 metres from the hotel terrace to the waterfront. There is no sand or shingle beach, just the rocky coastline (bathing shoes are highly recommended as a precaution against urchins and jagged stones and are available everywhere, including from the hotel shop). There is a beach bar on the lower terrace, though prices were higher here than the main bar and it seemed to close unreasonably early in the evening. The Brioni beach sports club is only a short walk from the hotel.
The Brioni is part of a complex of three hotels, the others being the Hotel Park and the Histria and the facilities of all of the hotels are available to guests. Other facilities in the complex include are large sports club (including approx 20 clay tennis courts), restaurants, bars, supermarket, clothes & souvenir shops. The Park and the Histria have higher official ratings, but in my opinion, the Brioni is in the best location and has the best views.
I would definitely stay here again.

Finally I pushed the fan to 100% -- and the artifacts disappeared, with the temperature never raising above 75C (and my ears dying slowly). The best I could do is 90%, which makes it run at 77C. From my testing, 79C is when the artifacts start appearing.
It looks like a temperature problem alright, but not in an excessive manner. Should I RMA it? I think it makes no sense to have to fiddle with the fan settings just to have the card working, it should work out of the box. On the other hand, I know I can add more fans to the case to improve airflow, but really, should I have to? 80C doesn't seem like a prohibitive GPU temperature to me. Shouldn't the card work correctly at this temp? I wonder if I'm the only owner of a gtx280 actually addicted enough to crysis to notice this. I'm betting more on a hardware problem.
Also, shouldn't the fan adjust automatically to the necessary speed based on the temperature? I can't seem to find the option to do that in the nvidia control panel. What's more, I could swear the fan used to spin up/down as needed when I first tried the card. Maybe this happened since I installed something? nTune? Other drivers? (I've since (re)installed physx and nvidia drivers 177.x, I'm now with 177.41). Just as a reminder, this only happens in crysis. GRID, Mass Effect, 3DMark Vantage, FurMark, never displayed artifacts.
Please advise!

Teardown of new Retina iPad mini reveals bigger battery
updated 07:01 pm EST, Wed November 13, 2013
Minor improvements in repairability, but still rates a 2 out of 10
Repair firm iFixit has already gotten its hands on a new Retina iPad mini and deconstructed it, revealing many technical details of the construction, bemoaning Apple's continued trend of minimal repairability, and noting that the unit has a much bigger battery capacity than the previous iPad mini. While praising the reduced use of glue to secure components in the Retina Mini, iFixit still rates the new Retina Mini as a 2 out of 10 for repairability.
The company noted that by comparison, the recent Amazon Kindle Fire HDX tablet featured an easy and "adhesive-free" method of opening the casing, though the two products don't really compete against each other. The iFixit team, which offers repair tutorials and sells tools to allow users to do repairs, has naturally omitted the fact that sealed devices tend to need less repair apart from user-caused dropping or other abuse. Its rating on the Retina iPad mini is not intended as a reflection of the usefulness, durability or quality of the device, only as a guide to how difficult it is to repair by users who lack the full range of equipment available to professional technicians.
Among the discoveries in the teardown were that the battery for the Retina Mini is a 3.75V, 24.3W/hour, 6471mAh model - a significantly more powerful unit than the 16.3W/hour model seen in the previous iPad mini. The extra power is used by the Retina display to offer the 2048x1536 resolution while keeping the same 10-hour average battery life as before.
The display itself was seen to be made by LG and powered by a Parade DP675 LCD driver. The unit has dual Broadcom BCM5976 touchscreen controllers (identical to those used in the iPad Air and iPhone 5s), the exact same A7 processor seen in the iPhone 5s, the Apple M7 motion co-processor, an STMicro MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope (as seen in the iPad Air) and Toshiba NAND flash storage (16GB in the model torn down by iFixit).
One other notable difference the company reported in the new Wi-Fi only Retina Mini is that a formerly blank area of the motherboard (where cellular parts would go in the 3G/LTE models) is now cut out entirely, reducing the weight slightly.

Las Vegas
Hotels in Las Vegas
Along the Strip - the four-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard - it's clear that Las Vegas hotels have engaged in an arms race of glitz over the years, from the Eiffel Tower of Paris Las Vegas to the Roman Empire at Caesars and the canals of The Venetian. Here are some of the best hotels in Las Vegas:
The Cosmopolitan: With its three-story bar enclosed by a giant chandelier, this sleek Strip hotel has become, for many, the epicenter of glam Las Vegas these days, right down to its luxe buffet, the Wicked Spoon.
Caesars Palace: Open since the Rat Pack years, this Strip resort is the epitome of the over-the-top Las Vegas, with its Roman statues, bubbling fountains, and the shopper paradise of The Forum.
Red Rock Resort: Not all of Las Vegas's attractions are man-made. Off the strip, this Las Vegas hotel and casino gets you close to the Red Rock Conservation area - but you still get a casino and a spa.
Mandalay Bay: Thanks to its massive beach-and-pool complex, this Strip hotel is the most popular hotel for families.
The Venetian, on the Las Vegas Strip, isn't the only place where Italy is re-created in Nevada's Mojave Desert. Consider Ravella, a sprawling, 349-room resort on the shores of Lake Las Vegas, just 17 miles east of Sin City.
In a town where "classic" is a euphemism for "marked for implosion," Flamingo Las Vegas, which was originally owned by Bugsy Siegel in 1946, has exuberantly remade itself and become the hippest hotel on the Strip.
The most painstakingly detailed of the themed casino resorts, the Venetian is a condensed version of its namesake city and features some of the largest suites on the Strip, averaging 700 square feet with sunken living rooms and marble baths.
LEED-certified all-suite property with over-the-top room décor (multiple flat-screen TV's, sunken living rooms, and mini-bars stocked with everything from champagne to La Belge Chocolatier desserts).
At the 1,495-room condominium hotel, designed by Rafael Viñoly, there is a ground-floor restaurant called Silk Road, a new venue for chef Martin Heierling, who is known for his imaginative Pan-Asian cuisine.
Opened in 1966, Caesars was Las Vegas's first foray into over-the-top themed opulence, and the classic bubbling fountains, trompe l'oeil ceilings, and Roman statuary live on in this ever-expanding empire.
The MGM Grand, with its commanding location on the Vegas Strip marked by a 100,000-lb bronze lion statue, is a Las Vegas experience in itself.
Opened in 1993 as a family-focused, pirate-themed resort, Treasure Island traded in its skull-and-crossbones designs for more a contemporary, adult-friendly look in 2003.
With a casino floor flooded with natural light, a botanical theme, and a collection of restaurants with rising celebrity chefs like Paul Bartolotta and David Walzog, Wynn Las Vegas has single-handedly redefined the standard of luxury
It's rare to find a culture-minded hotel in Las Vegas—especially smack-dab in the heart of the Strip.
While this casino offers plenty for gamblers—it houses 1,723 slot machines, 39 table games, and live poker—it's also home to the Desperado, one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world, as well as a log flume ride that runs through the main casino floor.
Formerly Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas
Just five minutes from the Strip, the Palms Casino Resort is a popular destination for young visitors as well as celebrities.
Mid-Strip extravaganza with a palatial 65,000-square-foot spa, 14 restaurants, botanical gardens, and dancing fountains.
It's impossible to get any closer to the stunning Red Rock Canyon conservation area—located 10 miles west of the Strip—than at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa.

Hassam, Childe:America's most famous Impressionist, Childe Hassam specialized in cityscapes and landscapes noted for their refined palette and technique. Born in Boston, he studied first at the Boston Art Club and then in Paris at the Académie Julian with Boulanger, Lefebvre and Doucet. It was in Paris that he embraced the Impressionism of Monet, Pissarro and Sisley, later introducing this style to American audiences. He exhibited in every major national and international exhibition of his time, won more than 30 important prizes and medals, and saw his work enter the principal collections of his day. A key figure in The Ten, a group of American Impressionists, Hassam was invited to participate in the 1913 Armory Show. The paintings in his estate were bequeathed to the American Academy of Arts and Letters - a magnificent legacy for modern artists.

Louisiana Gov. Jindal was rumored to be in contention to be Mitt Romney's running mate, but was eventually delegated to campaign surrogate. Jindal has earned a reputation as a policy expert within the Republican Party, particularly on healthcare, though his first chance at the national stage, the 2009 Republican response to Obama's State of the Union address, was ineffectual and poorly reviewed. Jindal also presents an opportunity for the Republican Party, now more concerned than ever about demographic trends working against it.

You can either bring life into your dancing or dancing into your life. I chose the latter.
I am a level-headed, easy-going extravert. I get my energy from being around a group of people or hanging out one on one. I guess that is why I blues / swing dance as often as I do. Oh, and blues dancing is not the same as club dancing. Actually, it's is far from it. I like sarcasm, a sharp whit, and a good sense of humor. I also like to travel, whether it is hiking a new trail in Colorado or exploring a new country. I've been to France, England, Scotland, Italy, Spain and Greece. I also lived in Munich, Germany for four months during grad school. I am originally from Louisiana. So, I can be a southern gentleman, but I'm not a push over. I moved out to Colorado for the mountains and climbing, and used graduate school as the means. I discovered swing dancing / blues dancing in 2000 and have been dancing or teaching it (as a hobby) ever since. So, no, my full time job is not as a dance instructor :) However, I do teach dancing about 2 months out of the year. If you enjoy laughing, dancing, exploring the outdoors, traveling, or enjoy conversation, then we should talk :)
Camping , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Cycling, Dancing, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
Middle of the Road
The Mercury Cafe (for swing and blues dancing), Movement Climbing Gym, hiking trails (Estes Park, Lost Creek, Buena Vista, Maroon Bells), Rackhouse, Vine St. Pub, The Cheeky Monk, Steubens, Munich (Germany), the Greek Island of Sifnos, Venice (Italy)
University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO
Blues Dancing. TV shows: How I Met Your Mother, Sherlock Holmes. Movies: Braveheart, Princess Bride, Usual Suspects, Momento, Fight Club. Music: blues, R&B, top 40s & everything else except opera and hard core rap.
I spend most of my free time swing dancing or blues dancing. When I'm not dancing or hanging out with friends, I spend as much time as I can outdoors either hiking, camping or climbing. I can ski, but need to learn to board.

- Full-day private Berlin shore excursion from Warnemuende Port
- Spend a day with an expert local guide and see the sights of Berlin that you want to see
- Discover Berlin's legendary landmarks: Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Cathedral and the TV Tower
- Learn about the city's complex modern history while seeing iconic historical sites like the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie and Hitler's Nazi Bunker
- Get a taste for city culture during visits to Potsdamer Platz and Gendarmenmarkt
- Covered by Viator's worry-free policy: guaranteed on-time return to your ship
What You Can Expect
Admire Brandenburg Gate – an iconic symbol of Berlin – and pose for photos next to the Berlin Wall while hearing about the futile division of Germany following World War II. Amble past Berlin Cathedral to marvel at its medley of architectural styles, and then see the TV Tower -- the city's most popular attraction.
Your guide will happily recommend the best restaurants and cafes in town, before leaving you to enjoy lunch (own expense). Meet back at the pre-arranged time, and continue sightseeing around town.
Given the city's complex modern history, many of its sights hark back to the days of WWII, and its vibrant streets echo with reminders of its past. Scout out the most poignant WWII monuments, like the Holocaust Memorial and War Memorial, while hearing their history from your guide. Take a walk through Checkpoint Charlie – the only point where visitors could cross between east and west Germany during the country's separation – and then see Hitler's Bunker, as well as sites like the Nazi Air Ministry and Bebelplatz -- the scene of the Nazi book burning.
Finally, get a taste of the city's cosmopolitan culture, with visits to Potsdamer Platz and Gendarmenmarkt – two of the city's must-visit squares. If museums are more your thing, then head to one of the city's leading museums, like Pergamon Museum (own expense). You are free to explore independently its staggering collection of artifacts – treasures of ancient civilization from around the world.
Bid a fond farewell to the city and your guide, and then relax as your driver transfers you back to Warnemuende Port.
Worry-free Shore Excursion:
We will ensure your timely return to Warnemuende Port for this activity. In the rare event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call. If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded. See our terms and conditions for full details.
Customer Reviews

This tour was amazing!
September 2014
The driver met us at the cruise ship and we met our guide, Finn in Berlin. What a wonderful guide he was! So knowledgeable and interesting - knew lots of small facts and trivia as well as the major info you want to know about. He took us to a great outdoor place for lunch that felt very "local" in character. I loved every minute of the day. Ask for Finn if you go!

India's defence ministry has issued a request for information for a new intermediate jet trainer (IJT), in the latest sign of its displeasure with the long-delayed Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) HJT-36 Sitara.
The RFI follows a defence ministry statement in mid-February that said delays to the HJT-36 would oblige the air force to keep flying its ageing Kiran Mk 1 trainers until 2017-2018. HAL officials, for their part, have said that the HJT-36 will receive initial operational clearance (IOC) this year.
The Indian air force calls for a single-engined, two-seat trainer with a secondary light attack capability – similar to the specifications of the HJT-36. Submissions are due on 4 April.
The RFI also calls for vendors to provide cost details for the "direct purchase of IJT for batch sizes of 10, 20, 30 and 50 aircraft." It makes no mention of local production of the type, although the acquisition, if it moves forward, would carry India's standard 30% offset requirement.
Manufacturers who respond to any request for proposals (RFP) in regard to the requirement would need to send their aircraft for field trials in India, the RFI adds.
In the Indian air force, the IJT occupies a spot between a basic trainer and an advanced jet trainer. The service has received 26 Pilatus PC-7 MK IIs for the basic trainer role, out of a total order for 75 aircraft. HAL is trying to develop its own HTT-40 turboprop for the basic trainer role, but the air force has been openly critical of its design.
The advanced jet trainer role is filled by another foreign aircraft, the BAE Systems Hawk 132, which HAL produces under licence in Bengaluru.
