Such is the efficiency of modern hang gliders that by 1999 the world straight distance record was 308 miles (495 km). Typical sources for such lift occur where wind is deflected upward by a hill or mountain ridge or in columns of warm air called “ thermals,” which are caused by the sun heating the Earth’s surface unevenly. However, by seeking air that is moving upward faster than the aircraft is sinking, skilled pilots can remain aloft for hours. Like all other engineless aircraft, hang gliders use gravity as the source of propulsion, so they are always sinking downward, just as a skier goes downhill. Glide ratios in excess of 20:1 are possible, coupled with top speeds of about 62 miles per hour (100 km per hour), yet they can still launch and land at little more than walking pace. In addition to the now-traditional delta-shaped flexible wings, a new generation of rigid, tailless hang gliders have become popular, in which carbon fibre and other composite materials provide the required blend of lightness and strength. That is, for every three feet traveled forward, they would descend one foot. The original Rogallos with a seated pilot had glide ratios of about 3:1. Aircraft-quality materials began to be used, and glide performance increased steadily through improvements in wing and harness design.

When my grandfather’s farmhouse near Richard, Saskatchewan, was demolished, my husband and I salvaged the flooring and baseboards. Don’t you love the combination of orange flowers on the walls with the green and orange linoleum on the stairs? People didn’t just adorn their walls with patterns, but their floors as well! Linoleum was cheap, and wonderfully durable. There was a craze for Oriental-inspired decor at one time, hence this pattern with the pagoda. Elaine hung it herself and even covered the slanted ceiling with it. This vintage wallpaper with its delicate pattern of blue flowers and ribbons were found in Elaine’s upstairs bedroom, under the eaves. This is a beautiful floral print, one that I would be happy to use in my own home. The vintage wallpaper in Elaine’s childhood home has stood the test of time, and served as a backdrop for visits of five generations of her family! How fortunate that they retained ownership of this delightful farmhouse. Elaine mentioned that the trees framing the home are Balm of Gilead poplars that her parents planted in 1948. ![]() Last summer, she visited her childhood home armed with a camera, searching for some overlooked memories. I first met Elaine online through our mutual interest in preserving the stories of wartime veterans. This song resonated with me when I was a teenager and bemoaning my fate about being stuck on a farm thirteen kilometres from town (then known as eight miles.) I’m sure at some point I resorted to counting the flowers on the wall! Vintage Wallpaper Tourįellow author and farm girl Elaine Thomas grew up on a farm in the foothills south of Calgary, Alberta, although she now lives in Fayette County, Texas. Remember the words to the old song “Flowers on the Wall,” by the Statler Brothers? The lyrics go: “Counting flowers on the wall, that don’t bother me at all Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51 Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo Now don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do.” Click here to hear the song: Flowers on the Wall. ![]() When I was twelve, I was allowed to choose my own wallpaper from the Simpsons-Sears catalogue for my bedroom at my farmhouse home near North Battleford, Saskatchewan, and it is still there!įor a brief history of my farm, a former air force training base, click here: Growing Up With Air Force Ghosts.įor a tour of the old kitchen, click here: Farmhouse Kitchen.

This updated review now includes eight studies involving 4464 women and their babies. We searched for evidence from randomised controlled trials in June 2018. It has been suggested that such an upright position can make birth easier. The low doses allow women to be more mobile during their labour and make it easier to assume an upright position. In recent years low-dose techniques, also known as 'walking' or 'mobile' epidurals, have become popular. Such instrumental births can cause later prolapse, urine leakage, or painful sexual intercourse. It is popular, even though it may increase the length of the labour and the use of forceps and vacuum (ventouse) to assist the birth. This is an update of a review first published in 2013.Īn epidural is the most effective method for pain relief in labour. We also wanted to determine women's views on the experience of childbirth and their satisfaction with the labour. For babies, we looked at whether they coped well with labour or needed admission to a special care baby unit. Outcomes included caesarean section, instrumental birth, excessive bleeding or stitches following tears to the vagina during the birth. ![]() ![]() We wanted to find out whether different birthing positions (upright or lying down) during the second stage of labour could change birth outcomes both for women who have used an epidural for pain relief and for their babies. Late labour, sometimes called the second stage, is made up of a latent or passive phase where the mother is fully dilated and the baby’s head descends without the mother pushing, and an active phase when the mother has an urge to push and the baby is born. After the Earth was despoiled, humankind left to colonize thousands of worlds now that the planet has healed the Gaia prohibits repatriation and has even fought a Homecoming War to keep returnees away. In a nutshell, this re-imagining of space opera conflicts sees a lone space nomad and his crew of freedom-loving space pirates challenge the Gaia Coalition, the official law in the known galaxies. I’m not a follower of newer Japanese fantasy but I know plenty of fans who are, and Harlock 3-D will delight them. The label is fulfilling its role as a niche purveyor of limited editions: collectors get access to quality product available nowhere else. Twilight Time corrects that injustice with a sterling-quality two-disc set that presents both the Japanese and International versions, each in either 3-D or 2-D versions. In terms of entertainment value it is better than or equal to the majority of digital animation features, but its only visibility in America has been a flat DVD from an outfit called Ketchup Entertainment. Harlock: 3-D is real eye candy from start to finish. The adventures of the moody space pirate have made several circuits around the franchise track, with TV shows, miniseries and theatrical features, the one previous to this effort being made only three years before, in 2010. Toei’s branded Harlock franchise has many features that would seem derived from the Star Wars franchise, although the original shows appeared in Japan more or less at the same time. Although this smacks of protectionism, you could make the case that it has commercial ‘issues’ - its themes are rather morbid, what with a leading character who, if I read him right, is allied with a fantastic ‘dark matter’ entity that he doesn’t even understand, a dark force that provides the superduper power for his superduper space ship Arcadia. Suppose they had a space war and nobody came? Toei Animation’s 3-D extravaganza Harlock: Space Pirate 3-D was prepped and primed to take the world by storm, but like too many foreign super-productions it didn’t even get a U.S. Produced by Joseph Chou, Yoshi Ikezawa, Rei Kudo (Toei Animation) Written by Harutoshi Fukui, Kiyoto Tareuchi from the manga by Leiji Matsuimoto Kyaputen Harokku / Ship Date Janu/ available through Twilight Time Movies / 34.95 ![]() Don’t worry, the 3-D visuals are excellent.Ģ013 / Color / 2:35 widescreen / 115 (Japanese) 111 (International) min. This collector’s disc set gives us rude ‘n’ raucous space battles, along with a pirate’s bounty of original Japanese extras. ![]() Ray guns! Space armadas! Storm troopers! Toei’s manga became a pricey 3-D animated motion capture epic just three years ago, but was denied a release stateside. Just let’s hope that The Expanse season 7 surpasses the expectations set by these first six seasons to once again live up to its moniker. Additionally, there is a tonne of unfinished business from season six that might be resolved.Īlong with Filip’s destiny and the mystery surrounding the alien protomolecule creators, there are other threads that will need to be resolved, including the resurrection of Xan and Cara, Clarissa’s sickness, and what happens to Drummer’s family. The seventh season could focus on the next book, Persepolis Rising. They would have a lot to work with if they did, too. Although a 30-year hiatus may be excessive, it wouldn’t surprise us if The Expanse were to make a comeback over the next five to ten years. The Possibility of a Season 7 of ExpanseĪdditionally, the remaining three volumes could one day be adapted for a second series, perhaps with an entirely new cast. We recognize your curiosity, but for the time being, all you can do is wait idly for the creators to make an official statement with a verified delivery date. You don’t need to worry, though, since the show’s creators have already said that a new season will be coming soon-possibly by the end of 2023. We regret to tell you that Season 7 of The Expanse does not yet have a set release date.
