As a 15 year old kid growing up in Hawaii, the surfing legend eddie Aikau is everywhere. When you think of the best lifeguard or a big wave surfer you think of Eddie. He did many heroic things during his life and he made the ultimate sacrifice. He was born in May 5, 1946, and Died on March 17,1978. He grew up in Kaulili Hawaii, Eddie had a brother named Clyde Aikau, and his passion was be close to the ocean and surf. In 1968, he became the first lifeguard hired by the City & County of Honolulu

In terms of advertisements, you will never find a still photo ad to look as red as the Monopoly Own It All 4, photographed by Ralph Baiker, directed by Petra Sievers, Copywriter: Michael Muck, Illustrator: Lichtmaschine Berlin, Photographer: Ralph Baiker, Retouching: Henning Moser,and distributed by J. Walter Thompson in Frankfurt Germany. The entire picture is bright red except the workers and customers have very distinct clothing, steering well away from the background and lighting. The man talking

Hokusa’s The Great Wave is one the the most famous works of art in the world and is probably the most iconic Japanese artwork. The painting depicts a big wave that is about to crash down on three boats and their crews. Katshushika Hokusai is the creator of this print who was about 70 years old at the time. This painting was created when Japanese trade was heavily restricted. But despite this, thousands of copies were made and were sold at very cheap prices. The Great Wave was a part of Hokusai Thirty-six

May 10, 1962 was a beautiful spring day in Flint, Michigan. The Apple Blossom trees were blooming, and you could see a cloud of yellow pollen infiltrating the automobiles, homes and everything else in sight. Yes indeed, spring had arrived, not quite, but the presence and aroma were in the air. It was a season the people of Michigan had looked passionately forward to seeing. It was a time to heal, a time to console, a time to forget and a time to move forward after a tragic and blistering winter.

which predicts that spherical masses can distort space-time, shown in fig. 1b, similar to how a bowling ball can warp the surface of a trampoline. Since that time astrophysicists have learned to use this effect on a much larger scale, called gravitational lensing which can be seen in fig. 2, below. Fig. 1a. Image taken of solar eclipse, stars can be seen in the background whose light has been bent around the sun before

identifications. From the formula (G=mg) created by Newton, the gravity is related only to mass. And this leads concept of gravitational fields. But the electromagnetic force are definitely different from that one. It is related not to mass but to the electric charge（F=qvB), and this leads to the concept of electric field. Since the Earth exists the gravitational field, the electric field and the magnetic field which don’t have any affiliation with each other by observing the formulas, they

amplitude will increase until it finally “breaks” as a full-fledged breaker, suitable for surfing, etc. Underlying this minute to minute activity is a slower water wave that causes in most places directly on the ocean an alternating pattern of high-tide, low-tide, high-tide, low-tide. This roughly six hour cycle is caused by the gravitational tugging of the Moon upon the Earth. This 'tidal' pull causes the shape of the solid Earth not to be perfectly round by something like a few dozen yards over its

(HAARP) is currently the most important facility used to generate extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation in the ionosphere. In order to produce this ELF radiation the HAARP transmitter radiates a strong beam of highfrequency (HF) waves modulated at ELF. This HF heating modulates the electrons’ temperature in the D region ionosphere and leads to modulated conductivity and a time-varying current which then radiates at the modulation frequency. Recently, the HAARP HF transmitter operated

1]Main articles: Statistical mechanics, thermal fluctuations, and statistical physics Albert Einstein's first paper[88] submitted in 1900 to Annalen der Physik was on capillary attraction. It was published in 1901 with the title "Folgerungen aus den Kapillarität Erscheinungen," which translates as "Conclusions from the capillarity phenomena". Two papers he published in 1902–1903 (thermodynamics) attempted to interpret atomicphenomena from a statistical point of view. These papers were the foundation

Astrometry 2. Radial Velocity Method 3. Pulsar Timing 4. Transit Method 5. Gravitational Microlensing Astrometry: This is the oldest method used to search extra-solar planets. This planet is basically used to find the mass of thee planet. This method is based on the gravitational effect of planet on its host star. As the planet rotates around its star, it applies gravitational force on the star and makes the star to move under the effect of its (planet) gravity. Thus, both
