P. 2 Eiffel Tower Eiffel Tower In 1889, Paris hosted an Exposition Universelle (also Eiffel Tower known as World’s Fair) to mark the centenary of the French Revolution. More than 100 artists submitted competing plans for a monument to be built on the Champ-de-Mars, located in central Paris, and serve as the exposition’s entrance. The commission was granted to Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel. He and Maurice Koechlin, a structural engineer, had collaborated to build the Eiffel Tower. Its name was originated from the designer’s name, Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel. Eiffel’s final design called for more than 18000 pieces of puddle iron, a type of 世界博覽會 wrought ironused in construction, and 2.5 million rivets. The construction started in 艾菲爾鐵塔 1887. Several hundred workers spent two 戰神廣場 years assembling the framework of the iconic lattice tower, which at its inauguration in March 1889 stood nearly 1000 feet high and was the tallest structure in the world from 1889 to 1930. Now one of the most recognizable structures on the planet, the Eiffel Tower underwent a major facelift in 1986 and is repainted every seven years. It plays an important role in television and radio broadcasts. It is considered an architectural wonder and attracts more visitors than any other paid monument in the world – an estimated seven million people per year. S. 1A Chan Tai Man (40) P. 3 .

    1 TIME TO FLY All films are flight otherwise they are not films. After blowing out the candles to mark our tenth anniversary and becoming consolidated at our Baluarte airport, the festival is back, full of films that are raised from the ground with a dance of air and mystery. It is time to fly. The FLYING programme will feature the wind –how to trap it-, the clouds –how to observe them- or the air –how to cross it-. 40 films will present us with the two faces of the impossible dream for man and other air walkers. The Central Region has one more short film than in other years, making a total of 18 films in a round and solid official section. An even number, 18 films in which two local contributions stand out: David Arratibel and Aitor Gametxo, nearby filmmakers who have spent hours in cinema seats and now show us the miracle which consists of moving onto the screens. Perhaps it is also converse: going from a spectator to a filmmaker. Seniority, with Luciano Emmer, who made almost one hundred films and we present his less known and more personal treasures here: his films on art, a discipline that is sometimes as elusive and difficult to trap as air itself. Youth is concentrated in X Films with three filmmakers who have gone from being promising and bring us their consolidated career, such as María Cañas, Pilar Monsell and Omar Razzak and the much awaited world premiere of the film selected in 2016: Velasco Broca and his New Altar.

  • Parachute (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Parachute (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A parachute is a device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating drag. Parachutes are usually made out of light, strong cloth, originally silk, now most commonly nylon. Parachutes often take the shape of a dome, but shapes may vary including some taking the shape of an inverted dome. Depending on the situation, parachutes are used with a variety of loads, including people, food, equipment, space capsules, and bombs. HISTORY The best earliest evidence for the parachute dates back to the Renaissance period. The oldest parachute design appears in an anonymous manuscript from 1470s Renaissance Italy, showing a free-hanging man clutching a cross bar frame attached to a conical canopy. As a safety measure, four straps run from the ends of the rods to a waist belt. Although the surface area of the parachute design appears to be too small to be effective, and the wooden base-frame is not needed and potentially harmful, the revolutionary character of the new concept is obvious. Shortly after, a more sophisticated parachute was sketched by the polymath Leonardo da Vinci around 1485 AD. Here, the scale of the parachute is in a more favorable proportion to the weight of the jumper. Leonardo's canopy was held open by a square wooden frame, which alters the shape of the parachute from conical to pyramidal. It is not known whether the Italian inventor was influenced by the earlier design, but he may have learned about the idea through the intensive oral communication among artist-engineers of the time.

Long Submitted to the graduate degree program in English and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ______________________________ Chair: Dr. Kathryn Conrad ______________________________ Dr. Anna Neill ______________________________ Dr. Paul Outka ______________________________ Dr. Phillip Drake Date Defended: 8 May 2020 The Dissertation Committee for Aaron Long certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Rise of the Mechanimal: How Authors of Scientific Romances Imagined Future Vehicles ______________________________ Chair: Dr. Kathryn Conrad Date approved: 8 May 2020 ii Abstract Whereas many have surmised that the technological vision for biorobotics originated with science fiction, it actually originated much earlier, in a constellation of science-influenced works of fiction in the romance tradition little-known as the “scientific romance.” The scientific romance has been suppressed by science fiction scholarship, and this suppression has occluded science fiction’s own connection with a history of imperial politics, including imperialism’s appropriation of scientific inquiry for its own ends. As nineteenth-century scientists sought to legitimate their research in terms of imperial priorities, anatomists and physiologists lent their discoveries to the technological development of vehicles that would reshape society economically and militarily. These vehicles, patterned after the bodies of nonhuman animals and designed to replicate their locomotion, are “mechanimals.” Samuel Butler elided the difference between animal and machine by imagining mechanical development in evolutionary terms, which also portrayed machines as extensions of the self in space.

  • BASE Jumping
    BASE jumping BASE jump at Majlis Al Jinn, Oman, 2013 BASE jumping, also sometimes written as B.A.S.E. jumping, is parachuting or wingsuit flying from a fixed structure or cliff. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump:building, antenna, span, and Earth (cliff).[1][2] Due to the lower altitudes of the jumps, BASE jumping is significantly more dangerous than skydiving from a plane. In the U.S., BASE jumping is currently regarded by many as a fringe extreme sport or stunt.[3] In some jurisdictions or locations, BASE jumping is prohibited or illegal; in some places, however, it is permitted. BASE jumping became known to the wider public by depictions of BASE jumping in a number of action movies. History[edit] The acronym "B.A.S.E." (now more commonly "BASE") was coined by filmmaker Carl Boenish, his wife Jean Boenish, Phil Smith, and Phil Mayfield.[4] Carl Boenish was the catalyst behind modern BASE jumping, and in 1978, he filmed the first BASE jumps to be made using ram-air parachutes and the freefall tracking technique (from El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park).[5] While BASE jumps had been made prior to that time, the El Capitan activity was the effective birth of what is now called BASE jumping. BASE numbers are awarded to those who have made at least one jump from each of the four categories (buildings, antennas, spans and earth). When Phil Smith and Phil Mayfield jumped together from a Houston skyscraper on 18 January 1981, they became the first to attain the exclusive BASE numbers (BASE #1 and #2, respectively), having already jumped from an antenna, spans, and earthen objects.
