On a static line jumps, the chant was "Arch thousand, Two thousand, Three thousand, Check canopy" So, probably. (And per training, CPR is done to the beat of "Staying Alive".)

I didn't know what to expect before viewing the video. But it makes sense. It reminds me of the drills we did before skydiving - you, literally, go through the motions. Also, I did some aerobatic flying - in some cases, as with the snap rolls - it's all timing. You don't have time to react to...

I will not be at that work location tomorrow and I expect that on Monday that lot will have the lines painted and be in use (including my use). I will see if I can find an old pair of Polaroids. Of course, the glasses will be of little if any use when viewed through a polarizing window. The...

It's still there today - although a bit faded. On closer inspection, it's looking more like a rainbow than ever. The number of bands is limited. The colors are: a stubby yellow band, a minimal purple band, then blue, green, yellow, purple, blue, green, yellow, purple blue, and a minimal green...

I don't bring my cell phone to work.

Rather than try to match up your words with the ones you quoted, I will give you what I get from that quoted section: I'll start by coining the term "allele adoption" which I will define to mean the process of a specific allele "sweeping" through a population (as it is described in the article)...

He is not claiming that there are only 206 such genetic regions - just that of the genetic regions he was looking at and of certain alleles of interest, only 206 showed apparent positive selection among the African populations in comparison to other populations he was looking at.

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:

Home depot sells that Frost King pipe heater (with preset thermostat) for about $23 for the 3' and 12' version and $20 for the 6' version. That's the one I pictured above. Under normal use, they are rated to keep water flowing through a 2" copper pipe down to -40F. That black pad on the side...

If this can be toppled or moved, the bunnies will topple or move it. And, of course, the electric power cord to that heater will need to be replaced with something armored. Also, even if you refill the bowl daily, you will also need to flush it out a couple of times a week - so it will need to...

I think the main purpose is to make liquid water available. Generally, the warmest spot will be a small area (perhaps 10x40 cm)) with a hole large enough for the bunnies - but not much bigger. And it will be filled with hay or something similar. For my cage, the heated pipe did pass through...

I had two Belgian rabbits. When I started using the copper pipe, they were about 1 years old. One lived to ten, the other to twelve - both longer than average. They did not attempt to gnaw at that pipe. Also, the pipe was not in direct contact with their water. The water bowl was metal - as...

I had the same problem about 15 years ago. What I did was to run a water pipe heating element through the inside of a copper pipe - about 1" diameter - and then ran about 30 inches of that pipe through an enclosed portion of the hutch. I kept a metal watering bowl in contact with that pipe...

Here's an alternative. Create the rack with the lead ball mounted so that it reacts to the cue ball exactly as it would in when actually racked. The rest of the simulated rack is there to provide a visual queue (ie, it should look like a rack), to remain anchored in place after a hit, and to...

The worse case is the angle between the ramp and the floor when the tractor is about halfway through the wheel base. It we ignore the diameters of the wheels - treating them as 2D edges in contact with the ramp or floor - then the worse case happens when are straddled 38 inches through your...
