![]() Presidents Bush and Clinton, and Hill and Warren, figured that out, one of the many things they have in common. People are adjusting their lifestyles for many reasons, chief among them their insatiable hunger for community, connection, and a higher purpose in life. Anxious witnesses to terrorism, technological revolutions, and globalization, Americans are making seismic changes in the ways they live, work, and play - and those choices ultimately determine how they vote, what they buy, and how they spend their Sunday mornings. Whether your product is a candidate, a hamburger, or the word of God, the challenge is the same: How do you connect with a fast-changing public and get them to buy what you're selling?īut this book is not just about America's successful leaders. ![]() history just two decades after starting his southern California ministry with no money, no church, no members, and no home.Įach case makes you wonder: How did that happen? The answers are in this book, which goes behind the scenes of political campaigns, corporate boardrooms, and church services to reveal how these and other leaders succeed in an era of intense transition. Rick Warren preached to 21,000 worshipers each week, inspired countless megachurch copycats, and wrote the best-selling hardcover in U.S. Lloyd Hill helped build Applebee's International into the world's largest casual dining chain despite his lack of experience in the restaurant business, middling reviews of the chain's food, and the challenges of running a "neighborhood grill and bar" in 1,700 neighborhoods. George Walker Bush won reelection in 2004 even though a majority of Americans questioned his rationale for invading Iraq, fretted about the economy, felt the nation was headed in the wrong direction and favored Democrat John Kerry on education, health care, jobs, Social Security, and most other policies. William Jefferson Clinton breezed to reelection in 1996 just two years after his presidency hit the rocks with his health care reforms a bust, his relevancy in doubt, and voters so leery of his leadership that they gave Republicans control of Congress for the first time in forty years. ![]() It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most responsive to change. American social philosopher ERIC HOFFER In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. ![]() After all, President Bush has seen his popularity in polls plummet since the 2004 election. That fundamentally is what successful campaigns are all about."īut those gut-level connections aren't permanent. And how they connect with a candidate at that gut value, whether it's a value of compassion, tolerance, strength. "They make their decisions in their gut or heart first. "It's the idea that voters ultimately don't make the decisions in their head first," says fellow author Matthew Dowd, who advised President Bush in his last two political campaigns. "I think first and foremost, looking for a candidate who they can relate to and shares their values and also is a candidate who has a vision for the future and that can deal with the problems in their lives and make their lives better," co-author Douglas Sosnik, who worked for President Clinton, tells Linda Wertheimer. In a new book, Applebee's America, former presidential political strategists say successful candidates must make a "gut values" connection with voters. Political parties and campaigns are increasingly turning to corporate tactics to win over voters. They're driven by demographics and market research - doing whatever it takes to identify and reach potential customers.

![]() Y = H x\tan(\theta) - \frac as desired. For higher velocities range and maximum height will be dramatically reduced.We are given the trajectory of a projectile: Note that friction force due to air resistance is neglected in the charts above. Θ - initial angle to the horizontal plane (degrees) If air resistance is negligible, the resulting equations of motion describe a parabola that passes through the points (0,0) and (20, 10). Ideal projectile motion is also a good introduction to the topic before adding the complications of air resistance. Hello, I hope I posted this question under the right forum. Note that friction force due to air resistance is neglected. Elevated Projectile Motion Thread starter SilverVenom Start date 1 SilverVenom. The calculator below can be used to estimate the time of flight, time to reach maximum elevation, maximum elevation and flight distance for a projectile like a bullet or a ball or something similar. It can find the time of flight, but also the components of velocity, the range of the projectile, and the maximum height of flight. S = ( 25 m/s) 2 sin(2 30 degrees ) / ( 9.81 m/s 2) Our projectile motion calculator is a tool that helps you analyze parabolic projectile motion. The velocity vector components, acceleration vector, and the trajectory trace can be toggled off and on. The trajectory, range, and time of fight are displayed. The horizontal distance traveled by the ball can be calculated as This projectile simulator allows students to alter the launch speed, launch height and launch angle of a projectile. The maximum elevation of the ball can be calculated as The time for the ball to reach maximum level is S = flight distance (m, ft) Example - Throwing a BallĪ ball is thrown with initial velocity 25 m/s in angle 30 degrees to the horizontal plane. ![]() The horizontal distance of the flight can be expressed as ![]() Learners can modify the launch speed, the launch angle, and the launch height and observe the effect of these changes upon a variety of projectile. The maximum elevation - h - of the flight can be calculated as The Projectile Simulator Interactive provides the learner with a user-friendly, virtual environment for exploring a variety of principles associated with projectile motion. The total flight time can be expressed as Combining the two allows one to make predictions concerning the motion. You can also get a full explanation on how to solve the projectile motion maximum height. The mathematical formulas that are used are commonly referred to as kinematic equations. Because we are offering a short guide that will assist pupils in answering the questions. Solve problems, create models and make quantitative predictions by applying the equations of motion. that is, to raise pressure and temperature enough to bring the nucleons.

An organization may conduct the time-out before anesthesia or may add another time-out at that time. Some believe that it is important to conduct the time-out before anesthesia for several reasons, including involvement of the patient. This requirement focuses on those minimum features of the time-out. The purpose of the time-out is to conduct a final assessment that the correct patient, site, and procedure are identified. ![]() A Time-Out Performance Before the Procedure Order IDĪ Time-Out Performance Before the Procedure ![]() Whistler WS1080 CPU Firmware versions of 3.9 and higher are reported to not work for DMR receive in the other 3 scanners at this time.įor those concerned about possibly "bricking" their scanner with this procedure, you really have nothing to worry about. The winning combination at this point for the PRO-668 appears to be Whistler WS1080 CPU Firmware version 3.8 along with Whistler WS1080 DSP Firmware version 3.0. I have personally updated my PRO-668 scanner to have DMR receive capability and it is working fine on both conventional DMR and DMR/MotoTRBO trunking. Apparently the hardware of all 4 of these scanners is VERY similar (although not identical) and that allows this "sharing" of some versions of the CPU and DSP firmware to work. The update procedure involves loading the CPU and DSP firmware versions that were publicly released for the Whistler WS1080 scanner into the other scanner models and that then allows DMR receive capability. ![]() If you are interested in updating any of these scanners for DMR receive (or adding Phase II to a PRO-18) you should give both of the following RR threads a very thorough read: In the case of the PRO-18 it apparently also adds P25 Phase II capability which it never had. It makes this scanner and other scanners such as Uniden really perform.I don't know if anyone here at SNE has been following the pertinent threads over at Radio Reference but it is now possible to add DMR receive capability to the Radio Shack PRO-18 and PRO-668 and the GRE PSR-800. Right now it is one of the best scanners available. The mini ssd card is easy to program and the data base is f ree for life. It makes it a lot quicker to download to your computer the data base and then adjust the parameters that you want your scanner to follow. I highly recommend using a card writer / reader to program this scanner. Getting used to the programming on the RS pro 668 is easy once you start getting into it. They are one of the best scanners out right now, I prefer this scanner to the Uniden Home Patrol II and the other Unidens as the Radio Shack pro 668 has better audio and a better receiver than any of the higher priced top end Uniden scanners. Of all the scanners I have owned, I now own three of the Pro 668's. I have owned almost all the top end scanners.Radio Shack, Uniden, GRE and even some other brands some have not heard of. ![]() Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned I think you will be pleasantly surprised just how much easier listening to the public service bands (and a LOT of other frequencies) has gotten. If you have bought scanners in times past, and then gave up when you could not get the information you wanted in order to listen to your local police or fire departments, give this versatile unit a try. You will have questions as to how to find the specific user groups that interest you (taxis, specific police talk groups, your local dog catcher) but at least you are hearing most of what you bought your scanner for. Sure, there is still a learning curve involved. Put the batteries in it, answer a few questions at start-up, and much of the programming has already been done for you thanks to the supplied data card. The Pro-668 had made this process a whole lot simpler. You needed scan lists, programming software and cables, and more than a little time to learn how to make your scanner listen for what you bought it for in the first place. In the not to distant past, police scanners, especially trunking scanners, were more than a bit difficult to program and be useful.

You’ll find most of the essential dim sum dishes around town, and with regional Chinese cooking blossoming in the southeast Valley, there’s hope that more dim sum will eventually come our way. In metro Phoenix, the dim sum pickings are slim for a city of this size, and the local dim sum scene doesn’t yet offer what you might find in other big cities - amenities like ultra-cheap dim sum takeout shops, or restaurants with more modern formats, including placemat pictograph menus that have started to replace the iconic dim sum carts.ĭim sum in metro Phoenix leans more traditional, but that’s not necessarily a knock. It’s most closely identified with Hong Kong, the dim sum capital of the world, where the format that we recognize today first took shape in the 1950s. The “Chinese brunch” tradition of dim sum originated in southern China, in Guangdong (formerly Canton) province. You probably already know that dim sum refers to a type of meal, one most often enjoyed on the weekends, featuring a roster of bite-sized dishes that are enjoyed with tea. If you, like my friend, have reached adulthood without partaking in the culinary free-for-all that is a dim sum service, it’s time to acquaint (or maybe re-acquaint) yourself with the small but lively dim sum scene in metro Phoenix. She’s in love, she says, with everything about this loud and happy scene: the bottomless cups of hot tea the shrimp dumplings bulging from their dewy wrappers even the wobbly, slippery hunks of fried tofu that she can’t quite pick up with her plastic chopsticks. Her eyes are glued to the silver serving cart that’s rolling by our table, trailing puffs of shrimp-scented steam into the air. ![]() “It’s like a buffet that comes to you!” We’ve just been seated for dim sum service at Mesa’s Mekong Palace Restaurant, and my friend, a dim sum newbie, can hardly contain her excitement. |
