"In the fully updated Sixth Edition of Understanding Global Cultures: Metaphorical Journeys Through 34 Nations, Clusters of Nations, Continents, and Diversity, authors Martin J. Gannon and Rajnandini Pillai present the cultural metaphor as a method for understanding the cultural mindsets of individual nations, clusters of nations, continents, and diversity in each nation. A cultural metaphor is any activity, phenomenon, or institution that members of a given culture consider important and with which they identify emotionally and/or cognitively, such as the Japanese garden and American football. This cultural metaphoric approach identifies three to eight unique or distinctive features of each cultural metaphor and then discusses 34 national cultures in terms of these features. The book demonstrates how metaphors are guidelines to help outsiders quickly understand what members of a culture consider important."
"In summary, this is a significant book . . . for a multitude of audiences, including scholars, practitioners, students, expatriates, travelers, and those who are simply interested in culture. . . . This book is also an ideal reference tool, since the metaphors are easy to remember yet rich in contextual value and are presented in a logical structure for quick consultation. Overall, this book is enormously appealing, genuinely useful, and a worthy addition to any collection." -- Thunderbird International Business Review (reviewing the Third Edition)
"In Understanding Global Cultures, Fourth Edition, authors Martin J. Gannon and Rajnandini Pillai present the cultural metaphor as a method for understanding the cultural mindsets of individual nations, clusters of nations, and even continents. The fully updated Fourth Edition continues to emphasize that metaphors are guidelines to help outsiders quickly understand what members of a culture consider important. This new edition includes a new part structure, three completely new chapters, and major revisions to chapters on American football, Russian ballet, and the Israeli kibbutz.'
This book describes a method, the cultural metaphor, for understanding easily and quickly the cultural mindset of a nation and comparing it to those of other nations. In essence, the method involves identifying some phenomenon, activity or institution of a nation's culture that all or most of its members consider to be very important and which they identify closely. Metaphors are not stereotypes. Rather, they rely upon the features of one critical phenomenon in a society to describe the entire society. The characteristics of the metaphor then become the basis for describing and understanding the essential features of the society. For example, the Italians invented the opera and love it passionately. Five key characteristics of the opera are the overture, spectacle and pageantry, voice, exteriority, and the interaction between the lead singers and the chorus. These features are used to describe Italy and its cultural mindset. Thus the metaphor is a guide or map that helps the student of foreigner understand quickly what members of a society consider to be very important.
The generic types of cultural frameworks developed by Triandis and Fiske, and the torn and cleft culture framework developed by Huntington, form the underpinning of the book. These frameworks allow the reader to gain new insight into various cultural metaphors and to begin to address the challenging issue of integrating cultural and economic perspectives.

<http://d.umn.edu/academic-affairs/academic-policies/classroom-policies/student-academic-integrity>
UMD Office of Student and Community Standards
<http://www.d.umn.edu/conduct/>
"Academic dishonesty tarnishes UMD's reputation and discredits the accomplishments of students. UMD is committed to providing students every possible opportunity to grow in mind and spirit. This pledge can only be redeemed in an environment of trust, honesty, and fairness. As a result, academic dishonesty is regarded as a serious offense by all members of the academic community. In keeping with this ideal, this course will adhere to UMD's Student Academic Integrity Policy, which can be found at [http://www.d.umn.edu/conduct/integrity/Academic_Integrity_Policy.htm] . This policy sanctions students engaging in academic dishonesty with penalties up to and including expulsion from the university for repeat offenders." — UMD Educational Policy Committee, Jill Jensen, Chair (08/16/2007)
and the UMD Student Conduct Code
<http://www.d.umn.edu/conduct/code/>
Student Conduct Code Statement (students' rights)
<http://www.d.umn.edu/conduct/conduct/conduct-statement.html>
The instructor will enforce and students are expected to follow the University's Student Conduct Code [http://www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/academic/Student_Conduct_Code.html] . Appropriate classroom conduct promotes an environment of academic achievement and integrity. Disruptive classroom behavior that substantially or repeatedly interrupts either the instructor's ability to teach, or student learning, is prohibited. Disruptive behavior includes inappropriate use of technology in the classroom. Examples include ringing cell phones, text-messaging, watching videos, playing computer games, doing email, or surfing the Internet on your computer instead of note-taking or other instructor-sanctioned activities." — UMD Educational Policy Committee, Jill Jensen, Chair (08/16/2007)
Instructor and Student Responsibilities Policy
A Note on Extra Credit Papers
Failure to comply with the above codes and standards when submitting an Extra Credit paper will result in a penalty commensurate with the lapse, up to and including an F final grade for the course, and, at a minimum, a reduction in total points no fewer than the points available for the Extra Credit project. The penalty will not simply be a zero for the project, and the incident will be reported to the UMD Academic Integrity Officer in the Office of Student and Community Standards.
A Note on "Cutting and Pasting" without the Use of Quotation Marks
(EVEN IF you have a citation to the source somewhere in your paper)
If you use others' words and/or works you MUST so indicate that with the use of quotation marks. Failure to use quotation marks to indicate that the materials are not of your authorship constitutes plagiarism—even if you have a citation to the source elsewhere in your paper/work.
Patterned failure to so indicate that the materials are not of your own authorship will result in an F grade for the course.
Other instances of improper attribution will result in a 0 (zero) for the assignment (or a reduction in points equal to the value of an Extra Credit paper), and a reduction of one grade in the final grade of the course.
All incidents will be reported to the UMD Academic Integrity Officer in the Office of Student and Community Standards as is required by University Policy.

Why Donald Trump Would Be the Worst President Yet
November 18, 2015 // by Kayla Zacharias// Leave a Comment
Shares74FacebookTweet
Truth be told, I'm terrified of the 2016 presidential election. Here's why.
Donald Trump has had overwhelming support from Republican voters for a few months now. He jumped 17 points ahead of Ben Carson among likely GOP voters after a recent appearance on Saturday Night Live and a solid performance in the most recent GOP debate. The results of a Reuters poll released on Friday show that he now has the support of 42 percent of those likely to vote Republican.
Like most people who fall anywhere but the far right of the political spectrum, I disagree with many of Trump's positions—especially regarding the environment.
Not only did Trump say he would cut funding for the Environmental Protection Agency, but he also claimed that what they do is "a disgrace." The EPA regulates and enforces legislation concerning air, water, land, endangered species and hazardous waste throughout the country. I don't think any of us could even imagine what the United States would be without the EPA—besides one enormous dump.
In 2011, he called himself an environmentalist. A year later, he tweeted:
Hmm, sounds logical.
Unfortunately, the environment isn't the only arena Trump is totally clueless about.
Many of us have heard the comments he's made about Mexican immigrants, which tend to be racist and ignorant. However, I think we've all come to expect racism and ignorance from him, so what really puzzles me is that most of the things he says don't even make sense.
On NBC News on July 8 of this year, he said, "I'll win the Latino vote because I'll create jobs. I'll create jobs and the Latinos will have jobs they didn't have." However, Trump's platform clearly isn't intended to please Latinos. Not only does he want to end birthright citizenship, but he intends to build a wall along the southern border of the U.S. – which he would have Mexico pay for.
In addition to being mildly racist, he's far from a feminist. For instance, he claims to support equal pay but rarely gives the issue any attention, and he doesn't believe that women should have the right to abortions.
Over the years, he's accumulated quite a long list of sexist comments. Here's a short timeline:
On women: "You have to treat 'em like shit." (New York Magazine, Nov. 9, 1992)
"There's nothing I love more than women, but they're really a lot different than portrayed. They are far worse than men, far more aggressive." (The Art of the Comeback, 1997)
More recently, he responded poorly to feeling "attacked" by one of the moderators of the first Republican presidential debate, Megyn Kelly.
This might not prove that Trump is sexist–considering that he's made some nasty remarks about men as well–but it's obvious that women's issues are nowhere near the top of his priority list.
What is on the top of his priority list, however, is protecting Americans' Second Amendment rights. In light of a tragic increase in gun violence recently, I can't help but wonder… how many more guns do we need?
The U.S. already ranks first in the world in guns per capita, with about 89 for every 100 residents. We make up less than five percent of the world's population, but 31 percent of its mass shooters are Americans. It's pretty obvious that we're doing something wrong here.
"This is a political choice that we make, to allow this to happen every few months in America," said President Obama in his response to the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. "We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones."
The political choice Trump wants to make is to continue allowing these tragedies to happen — and he's leading the polls.
However, many of Trump's supporters overlook these issues because they agree with his stance on economic issues. But while tax breaks for the middle class and businesses of all sizes are appealing, Trump's supporters fail to realize that there are other things that matter in this country besides the economy.
Racial tension is high, mass shootings are common, climate change is heating up (literally) and many people are treated unfairly due to their gender or sexuality. These are all issues that Trump will either ignore or make worse.
This is a democracy, after all, and one of this country's greatest beauties is that we have the right to vote our leaders into office. My only hope is that we use this power wisely.

Since I couldn't find any resources on Angular 5 app structure with multiple modules, I decided that whilst rebuilding an AngularJS app, I would implement a multiple-module architecture and document it. Later, I updated the architecture to be compliant with the Angular 6 major release. Below is the approach I took, with some justifications for the decisions I took. In the near future I plan to write more posts which get in to the more granular details of each area of the application and the motivations behind each decision.
An Angular 6 multi-module starter template is available on GitHub here.
The AppModule which occupies the root of the folder is purposely kept as bare as possible. It's role is simply to bootstrap the Angular application, and provide the root-level router-outlet. This approach also leaves open the possibility of running multiple, independent Angular applications through the same base URL. It also introduces the idea of building a router-driven Angular application.
Everything runs through the CoreModule which is placed in its own directory within the app directory. Coming from AngularJS, it feels weird not to create a sibling directory for the CoreModule, but this is done to keep in line with the Angular CLI conventions. Each sub-directory within the app folder shown above should be a module.
I did experiment with following AngularJS conventions and put modules outside of the app directory, and this works fine. It kept the root app directory clean but raised concerns of automatic updates through the Angular CLI in the future. I found that Angular documentation, and the Angular CLI by default, created new modules within the app directory – so this is the convention I followed.
To help simplify the concept, CoreModule in this approach takes on the role of the root AppModule but is not the module which gets bootstrapped by Angular at run-time.
The CoreModule can also manage other core features for your app such as the Error 404 page through the NotFoundComponent shown above.
The above routing definitions illustrate that the CoreModule handles the routing of the application. In theory we should be able to import a new Core2Module in to AppModule which may represent a version two of the application, and the implementation of this app would have no impact on the app running via CoreModule.
The FormModule is publicly accessible, and the AdminModule is protected by an Authentication Guard as illustrated in the routes shown above. The beauty of this model is that you can easily take out the AdminModule or FormModule without breaking any other part of your app.
For example, if you were to remove the AdminModule you only need to delete the app/admin directory and remove the admin route declared above. Then, any users navigating to the Admin section of the site will be shown the Not Found page via the NotFoundComponent.
Since the application is driven by the Router, each module has a root component which contains the router-outlet. This is key to enabling decoupled modules (essential for clean Unit Testing), and navigation to be powered by Components and the Router rather than ngIfs.
Since the navigation and the rendering of components is heavily driven by the Router in this model. The root AppComponent contains no routes. When the application bootstraps, the CoreRoutingModule (declared in app/core/core-routing.module.ts) kicks in and loads the Core components.
If the user navigates to /form the CoreModule lazy-loads the FormModule module along with its components and uses the routes declared in FormRoutingModule to navigate and display content within the /form URL. All this works by exporting the FormRoutingModule from the FormModule declaration, and then importing FormModule in to CoreModule.
If the user navigates to /admin (which is a protected area of the application), the AuthGuardService from the CoreModule checks the conditions of canActivate and only lazy-loads the AdminModule if the user is authenticated. Similar to the FormModule, the AdminModule has its own routing configuration declared in AdminRoutingModule and this controls the content displayed within the /admin URL path.
The root path of the AdminRoutingModule is declared blank as this will match to the /admin route declared in CoreRoutingModule. It loads the AdminComponent which is simply a html template file containing a router-outlet. This file can also contain an Admin Navbar and other static content if you wish.
The important bit here is that the RouterModule from the Angular library is imported as forChild for all modules except CoreModule. The CoreModule imports it's routes as forRoot.
You then also want to export the RouterModule after initialising it with your routes so that when the AdminRoutingModule is imported in to the AdminModule, and the AdminModule is imported in to the CoreModule, the CoreModule will have access to the routes declared in the sub-modules and they can compliment the routes declared for the Core of your application.
If you've paid attention so far, you'll already know the answer to this. The SharedModule is where any shared components, pipes/filters and services will go. The SharedModule can be imported in to any other module that requires its components, pipes and/or services. Just be sure to export anything you want to share with other modules. A reminder that services do not need to be exported – they just need to be declared under providers in the module declaration.
The SharedModule doesn't have a root component or any routing declarations because it only contains components that other modules will import to use. There are no views or logic in the SharedModule.
If you are using a service to store data while your Angular app is running you'll need to use a service which is instantiated and not discarded throughout the duration of the application runtime.
A service in the AdminModule is only available until the user navigates out of the /admin path. Any other module (say FormModule that imports that service, will have a fresh version of that service as if it was instantiated with new MyService().
We get around this by putting services that need to be persistent in the CoreModule because our entire app runs through the CoreModule. From the minute the app is launched, to when the page is closed CoreModule is being used to run the application.
That means any services declared within app/core/services and then added to the list of providers in app/core/core.module.ts will be accessible to all other modules and contain persistent data.
One of the biggest challenges with this model was trying to figure out how to handle displaying a dynamic header/navbar depending on which component/page was active, and changing the navbar links displayed to the user based on whether they were authenticated (logged-in) or not.
The solution is actually very obvious… Once its pointed out!
Then, when CoreModule is imported in to the root AppModule, the HeaderComponent is available as a directive because of the export above.
This means that in app/app.component.html we now have a router-outlet and app-header element.
Inside the navigation-links.ts file we can export a static Array of objects that represent all navigation menu items. This can easily be replaced by a service which retrieves objects for all the pages – but since I didn't have one available, and the navigation links for this project weren't too complicated I decided to hard-code them.
Then, within the header.component.ts we can use the power of the Angular Router to subscribe to URL changes to determine where in the application the user is and filter which navigation links are displayed.
Alternatively, if you are storing user token data somewhere, you can query this to determine the user's role and show only navigation links that match with the user's role.
The same concept can be applied for a footer.
One of my biggest gripes with Angular is the lack of a native loading-bar/spinner. I opted for ng-http-loader by Michel Palourdio, imported it into CoreModule and placed the loader alongside the router-outlet in app/app.component.html. The plugin shows a loading spinner any time a HTTP call is made within the application. It takes away localised spinners which result in cleaner code lower-down, and by using interceptors it uses one global spinner component to handle loading.

The years go by, now 75-plus and counting, and Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak remains at, or at least very near, the top of the most unbreakable records in sports.
Ted Williams of the Red Sox, DiMaggio's great rival and an even better natural hitter than the Yankee Clipper, knew this even in 1941 when he said, "When DiMaggio hit in those 56 straight games, he put a line in the record book and it's the one that will never be changed."
Zach Granite of the Rochester Red Wings shakes his head in wonderment just thinking about what DiMaggio accomplished. Currently the hottest hitter in the International League, Granite just had a 17-game hitting streak snapped last Sunday in the second game of a doubleheader at Pawtucket.
Do the math: 17 games is less than one-third of the way to DiMaggio. Heck, it's not even halfway to the Red Wings' record of 42 games set by Jack Lelivelt in 1912.
"I can't imagine that; It's crazy, unbelievable," Granite said of DiMaggio's Herculean feat. "You need to be a little lucky, but 56 games, man, that's unbelievable. There's days when you hit line drives right at guys. I just had whatever it was - double it and it's still not even close to that."
That's fine with Granite, though. His goal isn't to set hitting streak records, it's to get to the major leagues, and the way the 6-foot-1, 175-pound center fielder is going lately, the parent Minnesota Twins have to be paying attention. If there's an injury, Granite could be in line for a call-up, and at the very least, he's positioning himself for a shot when major-league rosters expand to 40 on Sept. 1.
"Very impressive," was the way outfielder J.B. Shuck, who has the most major-league time of any player on the Red Wings' roster, described Granite's searing streak. "When you have a hit streak like that there's some luck involved, but he's had great at-bats every game. It was fun to watch and be around every day."
► Wings catcher John Ryan Murphy recalls days with Yankees
Granite missed almost all of April with an oblique strain and he made his Triple-A debut April 30. Through May he was hitting just .237 and his on-base was a paltry .276, but then the calendar flipped to June.
The streak began on June 1 and over its duration Granite went 34-for-71 (.479) with an on-base percentage of .543. That's not a misprint, he was on base more than half of his at-bats. He rang up 9 doubles, 3 triples, and 6 RBI, walked 10 times while striking out only 7, and he stole 7 bases, serving as the quintessential leadoff hitter.
"My job is to get on base for the guys behind me, even if it's a single, because I can get myself in scoring position by stealing a base," said Granite, who only scored 16 runs during the streak because the rest of the Wings' offense has struggled a bit. "I remember talking to my dad and he was like, 'What's with all these one-for games?' It seemed like I was having one good swing and that's it. But I feel like I've made a pretty good adjustment."
Granite, the Twins 14th-round pick in 2013 out of Seton Hall, had a productive year at Double-A Chattanooga in 2016 when he batted .295 with an on-base of .347. But Triple-A pitching is a notch better with so many guys throwing mid-90s heat and snapping off breaking balls and changeups.
"Triple-A is a different game, it's a different animal," he said. "These guys are good, a lot different than any level I've ever played at. A lot more off-speed, and guys are nasty up here. There's no more upper 80s, everyone we're facing is 92-95, or 95-98. When do we get a break?"
Pitchers may have been asking Granite that same question. The day after his streak ended, the Wings opened a homestand Monday against Buffalo, and Granite had three more hits.
"Here's a guy that's swinging the bat and he's on base all day long," said Wings manager Mike Quade. "He's exactly what you want (in the leadoff spot). He's right where he's supposed to be in the lineup and he's really productive. He's picked up where he left off last year. He's made a very quick adjustment, went through a lull, especially against left-handed pitching for a week or so, but he's rebounded from that very well."
Since turning pro, Granite has hit only six home runs, so he's not interested in launch angle and exit velocity. He's a throwback leadoff man who's just trying to put the ball in play and create havoc, and he's so good at it, Quade quipped that "Even the Sabermetrics people would be thrilled with him."
It's something he's been doing since his college days at Seton Hall, and when Granite was a senior, his manager, Rob Sheppard noted that, saying, "He makes things happen. Zack is a pest at the top of the lineup. He's patient and smart and he puts real pressure on a defense."
Staying true to that style has been paramount for him in his climb through the Twins' system. "The best part is he knows that," Shuck said. "He doesn't go up there trying to do too much. He knows to just get on base, find a good time to go to steal a base and that's the same as hitting a double. He understands his game and that's why he's going to be successful."
Granite hasn't daydreamed much about making it to Minnesota. His path is blocked by center fielder Byron Buxton, and given that Buxton was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, the Twins are giving him every opportunity to establish himself.
"My dad keeps telling me, 'Keep playing your game, they'll have to do something eventually,'" Granite said. "If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, I'll just keep going about my business. I don't have a say in it; if I did I would have thrown myself up there a while ago. Hopefully I keep hitting and I'll open up some eyes."

The passage didn't go very far before Edmund came on a steep set of stairs descending into the darkness.
The entrance to the passageway had been on the second floor, so Edmund guessed he was now on the first. He followed the passageway as best he could in the dim light of the oil lamp and the slivers of gaslight that leaked through small cracks in the walls.
He walked on, holding the oil lamp in one hand and keeping his other hand out to steady himself, when his fingers brushed against a small circular disk stuck in the wall.
He gently traced the circumference of the disk with his finger and found a small latch on the top. He pulled at it and the disk flipped open, revealing a thin rubber tube. The tube uncoiled from the wall when Edmund pulled on it; one end was stuck to a conical device that was pressed into the wall. He stared at it for a moment before he realized he was holding a makeshift ear-trumpet and he could use it to eavesdrop on whomever was on the other side of the wall.
Edmund replaced the rubber tube in the wall and was about to move on when he happened to glance up. There, stuck to the wall a few feet above the ear trumpet, was a thin metal strap like a hinge. With a bit of climbing on the thick wooden supports, Edmund managed to scamper up the wall and tug at the strap, only to have a thin beam of gaslight strike him full in the eyes. He almost slipped and fell to the ground but managed to hold on long enough to blink the light away.
The strap was a small hinged bar that was attached to a plug designed to fit snugly into a small round peephole in the wall. Pressing his face against it, Edmund peeked through the hole, only to see the giant ornate fireplace of the large sitting room. Edmund grinned as he replaced the strap and dropped to the floor. An ear-trumpet and a peephole ready for spying. He would have to try these secret devices out whenever there was another family meeting. Edmund slowly crept onward, keeping a lookout for more trumpets and peepholes.
The passageway twisted and turned as much as the hallways did, full of dead ends and strange angles. Edmund tried to keep track of where he was, but the passages were constantly confusing him. Several times he thought he knew where he was, only to find and look through a peep-hole and realize he was very wrong indeed.
He kept searching the passageways until he found a small exit behind a tapestry near the large music room in the west wing. Stepping gratefully out into the open air, Edmund realized he needed to be more familiar with outside of the walls before he could understand the inside of them. He memorized where the exit was, and resolved to check everywhere he went for hidden catches, switches, and passages while he explored the rest of the mansion.

Mapping the Mind's Eye
By Josie GlausiuszMay 1, 2001 5:00 AM
Mind reading is poised to make a remarkable leap from the carnival to the laboratory. Using magnetic resonance imaging, Kathleen O'Craven of the Rotman Research Institute at Toronto's Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care and Nancy Kanwisher of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have pinpointed two areas of the brain that are excited when people look at faces or places. The researchers found that the corresponding area activates almost as strongly when subjects merely think about one or the other. With a careful reading of brain scans, they can determine whether a subject is imagining a face or a place 85 percent of the time.
Fear not the thought police, however. "We can't determine whether people think that communists are bad," says O'Craven. Rather, she expects the work will aid communication with people incapacitated by stroke. "If we read them the names of people or places and saw a differentiation between the two brain areas, we could interpret that to mean they understand what we're saying."

NU'EST's 2012 Song "Happy Birthday" Tops Real-Time Charts For 1st Time Ever For Baekho's Birthday
Fans prepared a special birthday gift for NU'EST's Baekho.
At midnight KST on July 21, their song "Happy Birthday" topped Naver Music's real-time charts. The song was performed by Baekho and was originally released as a track on NU'EST's 2012 debut mini album.
This is the first time the song has ever topped a music chart since its release, and it was the result of fans banding together to celebrate Baekho's birthday on July 21.
Four of the five members appeared on Mnet's "Produce 101 Season 2" and captivated viewers with their passion and determination. Minhyun was chosen to become a member of Wanna One, and JR, Baekho, and Ren made it to the top 20 and participated in the finale.
Many of NU'EST's other songs, most notably their 2013 song "Hello," have also enjoyed success on various music charts and music show rankings after "Produce 101 Season 2." And this is only the beginning for the group as they recently announced that JR, Baekho, Ren, and Aron will be performing as NU'EST W until Minhyun's return. The new unit group will release a special single on July 25, their first new song in 11 months.
Not only this, but NU'EST has also been receiving love calls to appear in a variety of shows. JR will join the cast of JTBC's "Night Goblin" (literal title) while Ren will join JTBC2's "Learning the Hard Way" (literal title).

The latest generation of the SPECTROMAXx Optical Emission Spectrometer from SPECTRO Analytical Instruments incorporates several performance-enhancing innovations.
CCD detector technology combined with the stability of temperature-controlled optics mean significantly better detection limits for elements like nitrogen – now down to 10ppm – and this from a bench-top instrument. Such performance is usually associated with large stationary spectrometers costing considerably more than the SPECTROMAXx.
Performance must be combined with reliability and usability, and in the new SPECTROMAXx an integrated diagnostics facility continuously monitors, archives and displays the operational status of all important components and systems. For ease of use, the SPECTROMAXx now has the Spark Analyzer Vision Software already proven in SPECTRO's top-of-the-range SPECTROLAB systems.

Rollercoasters Are Tame
by Wrolf · Published March 16, 2019 · Updated March 17, 2019
Every year I go on the Cyclone in Coney Island, squeezing my corpulent frame behind the seat's safety bar, rattling around through the wooden beams. It was built in 1927, and even with refurbishment in 1974 it always seems like a miracle that it is still in operation. But it is frequently inspected by the city, and poses very little danger. And its 85 foot first drop is puny by the today's standards.
The ride is a lot less spectacular than my favorite, the Great Bear in Hersheypark, but it's only a subway ride away. One time we arrived at Hersheypark at dusk on a Friday, and with no lines I headed straight for it. A modern wonder of steel, you are suspended from the track like a ski lift, but with a restraint system that wraps you in safety. The greatest thrill for me came as we rolled upside down, with the bright lights of the park above us and the stars below. I rode it nine times before my family dragged me away.
But this is carefully metered fun. Every drop and turn has been planned and measured by the original engineers, whether calculating by slide rule in 1927 or by computer in 1978. You are ultimately following someone else's vision. It's sort of like my problem investing the effort to play video games—as a programmer myself I always feel I am just pushing someone else's pixels
How about some real fun?
When I was a teenager in England, I joined the Air Training Corps, a cadet force of the RAF. We spent two nights a week on a WWII era airfield that had been converted for civilian light airplanes, and split our time between learning theory of flight and radio procedures in an old Quonset hut and parade ground drill on the apron between the hangars. Every now and then we were scheduled for flying at the nearest RAF base, but we were usually rained out and made do with a day of target practice with archaic Lee-Enfield rifles.
But every once in a while fortune smiled on us, and we got our air experience flights. For us the RAF still flew de Havilland Chipmunks, a 1950s era trainer capable of serious aerobatics, and the pilots seemed to take joy in throwing us around the sky until we were thoroughly air sick.
But I had an agenda. I wanted to fly myself. I had studied assiduously, and wanted to put some of my lessons into practice.
So while spending a week one summer at RAF St. Athan, when it was my turn I asked to take control. Under the careful supervision of the instructor, I performed some basic turns and such. Great fun, though by the end of it I had no idea where we were in the sky.
Then I pushed the envelope, and asked to push the flight envelope. Could I try a stall?
A stall happens when the rush of air over the wing is insufficient to maintain flight. A potential life threatening event, but a first step in aerobatics, and an essential part of flight training.
It did not surprise me at the time, but it surprises me now that the instructor agreed. A stall can easily turn into a dangerous spin, he must have trusted me a lot more than I would trust a teenager whom I had met a half hour before.
I settled into level flight, and pulled the throttle back. As the airspeed indicator dropped and we started to descend, I pulled back on the stick to start climbing again, losing more airspeed as though climbing a hill.
Inevitably, we stopped flying, and the nose dropped straight for the checkerboard of fields below us. I had never been on a roller coaster, but the feeling is much the same as the first drop after being cranked up the hill.
But in the rush, there is no room to scream or panic. Recovering from the stall is urgent, and like steering into the skid in icy conditions, counter intuitive. Push the stick forward and go deeper into the dive, and full on throttle to barrel faster into the approaching ground.
Just as I had been taught, the nose came up, and we were no longer a brick falling. We were flying again.
And lived a little longer.
