"What Shell has been trying to do with the om (tead Waterton field is develop the resource as efficiently as everyone would want. And part of that efficiency is being sensitive to the environment."

  • ABSTRACT Designing, Constructing, and Testing a Second-Generation
    ABSTRACT Designing, Constructing, and Testing a Second-Generation Prototype Mechanical Hippotherapy Horse Heather Denae Benoit, M.S.B.M.E. Mentor: Brian A. Garner, Ph.D. The use of horses as a means of therapy has been documented for some time. To determine why this type of therapy works and to provide a means of expanding its accessibility, a mechanical horse has been developed. Data collected on the movement of live horses during a previous study was used as a target motion in the development of a prototype mechanical horse. This mechanism was designed to be capable of reproducing that motion. For this prototype, the base remains stationary and a suspended saddle seat moves in a pattern replicating that of a live horse. The saddle is suspended by eight cables which are displaced by eight distinct cams. The cam set can be exchanged for various cam sets which correspond to different prescribed movements. Testing revealed good agreement between the motion of the prototype and the target, but improvements can be made in the measure of z-translation.

The election, also the third since February 2012 and the sixth during the past seven years, comes following one of the most dull campaigns in the history of the country, and which was marred by vote-buying and corruption allega- tions besides the re-emergence of the outlawed tribal pri- mary election. Most of the Islamist, nationalist and liberal opposition groups are boycotting for the second time in protest against the amendment of the electoral law, well-known as the sin- gle-vote law, even after the Constitutional Court said on June 16 the amendment was in line of the constitution. But the liberal National Democratic Alliance and the country’s major tribes, which boycotted last December polls, are taking part this time which observers expect to raise the voter turnout above last election’s 40 percent which was a historical low. Local polls and experts however differed on how much the turnout will be with some putting it at 53 percent while others saying it will range between 40 percent and 50 per- cent.

  • How to Ride a Mechanical Bull
    How to ride a Mechanical Bull – Tips from a Professional Bull Rider The sport of bull riding has become very popular in recent years through various televised events along with the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) taking the sport of professional bull riding to a new level along with millions of dollars of prize money for the riders. Anyone can be a contestant in the PBR, all you have to do is buy a permit and enter events until you eventually get accepted into an event. You won’t get to be on TV at your first event, but if you get good enough maybe someday you will. However if you have no experience with horses, or riding anything at all for that matter, I personally think a mechanical bull is a good way to start to at least get the feeling for riding. There are even competitions in many bars around the country, put on by the bars where you can win some money on a Friday or Saturday night. An example of that could be the PBR Rock Bar in Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, NV where the mechanical bull riding winner in a competition won $1000. This guide could take you there! (Above Photo) Ted Stovin competing at the 2009 IPR World Finals in Chihuahua, Ch. Mexico Here’s how to get started: Step 1: Find the Bull! So first you have to find a mechanical bull, there are many bars around the country along with private companies that have them. If you know where one is already then your biggest problem has already been solved! Mechanical bulls are often found in bars but they are also owned by individuals in many different places.

  • Big Brave Dog Meghan Kelleher
    Big Brave Dog meghan kelleher er father was going to be upset again. It was already the third time this weekend and it was only Saturday. Yesterday with the fish, H earlier this morning with the sunburn, and now this. She imagined her father’s shaking voice, his grip tight around her forearm when they finally found each other again. They always set a meeting place, just in case. They hadn’t this time, or, at least, she couldn’t remember if they did. If they did, she didn’t remember which spot they picked. She remembered laughing with her father as they exited the metal gate surrounding The Corkscrew. She thought she might vomit after flipping upside down and right side up fourteen times in forty-five seconds. She looked backward at the littered concrete floor below the royal blue roller coaster tracks. Crumpled receipts, single earrings, demolished cell phones, bi-fold wallets spread open. Things that fell to their death from 200 feet. Things people had no choice but to leave behind. She remembered the dizzy walk to The Snack Shack and the long line for Snow Cones. A teenage girl in a ketchup-red collared shirt reached over 1 the greasy wooden ledge of The Shack, handing out two perfect circles painted red, yellow, blue. They took the Snow Cones and her father tucked his wallet back into his pocket. “I need to go to the bathroom,” he said, heading over towards the Porta Potties to the right of the Snack Shack, way back behind The Tilt-A-Whirl.
