Croses Pouplume

The Croses Pouplume ("lousefeather") was an unusual ultralight aircraft developed in France in the 1960s. Inspired by Henri Mignet's Pou-du-Ciel design with its distinctive tandem wing layout, Croses set out to develop a similar aircraft to be powered by a single-cylinder motorcycle engine of around 6 kW (8 hp). The resulting machine, designated the EC-1 weighed only 108 kg (238 lb) empty, and flew around 1960. Like the Pou-du-Ciel, the Pouplume dispensed with traditional ailerons and elevators and pivoted the entire forward wing to provide pitch control

Rose Theatre

The Rose Theatre is located in downtown Brampton, Ontario. It opened in September 2006 with a series of public events throughout the month, culminating in a Grand Opening on September 29th featuring Diana Krall. The theatre includes a main performance hall with seating for 880, and a smaller multi-purpose hall with seating for 130-160, depending on configurationIt was built as "a cultural and tourist destination that will attract significant new business to surrounding restaurants, shops and services". The City says that the facilities are expected to generate $2.7 million in economic activity the first year and grow to $19.8 million by the fifth year. This is predicted to attract more than 55,000 visitors annually who will spend about $275,000 on before and after-show entertainment, creating close to 300 permanent jobs.

Egyptian pyramids

The Egyptian pyramids are pyramid shaped structures situated in Egypt, and were built as a tomb for dead pharaohs. There are over 100 Egyptian pyramids, most of which were built throughout the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. The first Egyptian pyramid was the Pyramid of Djozer which was built during the third dynasty beneath King Djozer. The pyramid was intended by Imhotep as a tomb for the King. The best known Egyptian pyramids are the Giza pyramids which are recognized among the largest structures still built and are the only residual monuments of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Gunung Mulu National Park

Gunung Mulu National Park, on the island of Borneo in the State of Sarawak, is the most studied tropical karst region in the world. The 52,864-ha park contains seventeen vegetation zones, exhibiting a number of 3,500 species of vascular plants. Its palm species are very rich, with 109 species in twenty genera noted. The park is dominated by Gunung Mulu, a 2,377 m-high sandstone pinnacle. At least 295 km of explored caves give a spectacular view and are home to millions of cave swiftlets and bats. The Sarawak Chamber, 600 m by 415 m and 80 m elevated, is the main known cave chamber in the world.

Future of Bluetooth

Broadcast Channel: enables Bluetooth information points. This will drive the adoption of Bluetooth into mobile phones, and enable advertising models based around users pulling information from the information points, and not based around the object push model that is used in a limited way today.
Topology Management: enables the automatic configuration of the piconet topologies especially in scatternet situations that are becoming more common today. This should all be invisible to the users of the technology, while also making the technology just work.
Alternate MAC PHY: enables the use of alternative MAC and PHY's for transporting Bluetooth profile data. The Bluetooth Radio will still be used for device discovery, initial connection and profile configuration, however when lots of data needs to be sent, the high speed alternate MAC PHY's will be used to transport the data. This means that the proven low power connection models of Bluetooth are used when the system is idle, and the low power per bit radios are used when lots of data needs to be sent.
QoS improvements: enable audio and video data to be transmitted at a higher quality, especially when best effort traffic is being transmitted in the same piconet.

Mount Everest

Mount Everest is the well-known uppermost mountain on Earth. Its peak (not counting the snow covering) being about 8,844m (29,015ft) high – and it continues to produce by an estimated two to five millimeters for each year!

The peak ridge marks the edge between China and Nepal.

Niagara Falls

Located on the border between Canada and the USA, the Niagara Falls comprises three divide waterfalls: the Horseshoe Falls (sometimes called the Canadian Falls); the American Falls; and the lesser, contiguous Bridal Veil Falls.

It is not the tallness, but the width and magnificence of the falls that takes your breath away.
