The detailed descrip- tions of developing a 3D internet platform may also be disturbing or triggering to some readers. Read at own risk. Thanks to Laura Thurlin for additional battle scene writing! 3 4 1. The bombs exploded with a flash of blinding light and a brief full-spectrum blast of white noise. Next the shrill, upper-mid boosted double kick drum sound assaulted Ian's ears, and the flash was replaced by the rapidly changing PAR lights. Despite the large ar- ray of Marshall cabinets on the stage – and not one of them was fake – it took him some time to recognize the song and the presence of an actual guitar tone, but at last he did. He raised his beer glass in approval. The first song was Rising Force. The God of Swedish shredding, Yngwie Malmsteen, had taken the stage, though he was not yet visible through the thick fog. The intro guitar riff gave way to the first verse, and the bassist began to sang (after Ripper Owens’ depar- ture there was no actual front man), belting out the lyrics like a banshee on crack. Ian sung along hoarsely, for this was a classic he knew inside-out. Meanwhile he tried to catch a glimpse of Jo, who had pushed through the crowd to the front to observe the Maestro better. So far he was not able to see her, but was sure she was doing all right.

  • Macgyver This! New DIY Experiment Shows Students the Physics of Climate Change 8 October 2015
    MacGyver this! New DIY experiment shows students the physics of climate change 8 October 2015 immersed in a beaker of water, with the marble suspended by fishing line and paper clips from an overhead electronic balance. "The weight of the marble increases as the water is warmed because water loses buoyancy as it expands and its density decreases." Archimedes' principle describes how the weight of an object immersed in water is reduced by an amount equal to the weight of the water displaced. Dr Hughes said this law of buoyancy means the buoyancy of an object changes if the water density changes. Dr Stephen Hughes and Darren Pearce have developed "For example, if a ship were to travel from the Arctic a new experiment that uses Archimedes' principle to demonstrate that oceans expand as they heat up, to the tropics it would float lower because warm causing sea levels to rise, even without factoring in water is less dense than cold water," he said. melting ice sheets.
