This drawing estimates the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER will be 25 feet (7.25 metres) high. It ended up being 7 metres high. At this stage the sub still has a conventional frame containing solid blocks of syntactic foam for flotation rather than the singler syntactic foam structural core of the final craft. It also shows large propellers unlike the final build, which has the six small diameter horizontal and six vertical thrusteras, based on the principle if one thruster fails down there, others remain to do the job.

little aqua star. I was once again amazed at how much fun she had in the pool. She tried those little inflatable water wings for the the first time (don't worry, I've got some shots of those too) and giggled her way across the pool. She later realized she could use her flotation vest to, . . . well, float.
And I also realized that he swim vest matches the water.

Last night I finally saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I say finally because I attempted to see its predecesor last year, and I completely fell asleep on it and ended up returning it without really knowing what the heck was going on, and this started out the same way. I was utterly bored and my eyelids were kissing, but then they started talking about photos and I perked right up. The movie was actually awful...in that rape, murder, torture sort of way, but good in the thriller sense.
The other movie I saw was Shame. My major in college was Psychology and I took a class called the psychology of sexuality and we talked about all sorts of sexual disorders and this was of course, one of them. I'm such a Fassbender fan. I've seen Jane Eyre like 15 times. I'm such a fan of actors who do what it is they are supposed to do, which is become chamilions and change and grow with each film, not become an action star and that's all you ever do until you grow to old to do it. You need to have some range, and he's got it. From Hunger to Eden's Lake to X-men to his other pyschological film wich I just saw, "A Dangerous Method," to Fish Tank. The man is good.
Today was a slow one. I ended up driving by my the first house I ever lived in and where some of my happiest memories were born. You just never know how great is is to have a backyard until you have one, or neighbors right next door who are both you and your parents best friends. So many stories! I loved that neighborhood because it was truly a family neighborhood. Long winding tree lined streets, a park right in the middle of it, nearby schools, and you felt safe. My parents would literally tell me and my brother to go outside and we would be gone all day long and they didn't have to worry. Now its like you have to give your kids a cell phone, and have them finger printed, and have their pictures on file before you can let them out of the door.
Speaking of low jacking your kids, having worked in a facility where lost kids was an everyday occurrence, I've become sort of an expert on giving parents tips on making sure your kids are secure. I try not to judge, because no parent can watch their kid 24/7, but let me tell you the difference between the "good ones" and the ones I know just dumped their kids and ran. First, most parents when going to a place of amusement, bring a camera. The first thing you should do is take a photo of your kids when you get there. In the case that they go missing, you can easily show the staff exactly what the kids look like and what they are wearing. Second, literally write your phone number somewhere on their clothing. If they get lost, they can tell an adult to call your number, or if they have cells, they can call you in case they forget the number. Third, cheesy, but coordinate your clothing. You're all wearing red shirts and jeans and white shoes. Makes it easy to see your kids and them to see you and remember what you have on. Fourth, the first thing aside from taking pictures that you should do is talk to your kids about who in this location is a safe adult, and who isn't. Usually staff wear the same thing. Point to the staff and say to them, if you get lost look for someone wearing this logo and this badge so they know who to look for. If there is an info hub or center, show them where that is, so they can get assistance if they need it. All of that takes five minutes and believe me, were a huge help to my staff and to me that I would get kids coming up saying, mom said if I got lost to come here, or dad wrote his number on my shirt, or mom was wearing the same thing I was vs. the truly hysterical kids (I'm talking 10 and 12 year olds) who cried and cried and couldn't get out their own names. I mean that's a bit on the ridiculous side. I know 4 year olds do that b/c their scared...but seriously you're 12...I mean....
Something a little different for HTT, and it might be stretching the definition of truck, but hey, it does have a load bed on the back.
This was some sort of amphibious/ flotation experimental vehicle, which used a Land Rover gear box, modified transfer box and axles. The engine is a 4 cylinder, air cooled Coventry Climax engine. It's not clear who designed or engineered it. Some 1964 film of it exists, being tested at Packington Estate, where Land Rover was testing a number of modified vehicles. It didn't seem to end well for this beast as it was seen being towed out of the water!
Recently, rebuilt and restored, I photographed it back at the Estate in 2023, when the Land Rover series one club held its 75th anniversary celebrations.

To go rafting, we all had to wear flotation jackets and safety helmets.
Some of us wore wetsuits as well. I did, but I think I put it on backwards.
One-month Trip to Georgia, Carolinas & Minnesota, Fall 2008
Photo: Sweat Lodge, Hostel in the Forest
Kyla and I head off on our own mini vacation to the south georgia coast to stay at "hostel in the forest". and to check out St. Simons and Jekyll Islands. The hostel in the forest was an amazing experience. We booked the max - 3 nights. The hostel is located in Brunswick, very near the coast and the main sleeping rooms are tree houses, and the main lounge, kitchen, dining room are a cluster of domes. The hostel was built in the 70s by a man named Tom who still comes around on the weekends - very nice bloke. He built the hostel so he could meet travelers something he couldn't do with a family and a job as a lawyer. The hostel is $20 a night which includes a community meal. The working staff were nice touchy-feely hippie types and we met other travelers such as an english bloke, and some science teachers. Our first night we came in the dark just in time for dinner - a nice vegetarian meal with garden veggies. We hold hands before the meal and say our name, where we are from, and what we are thankful for. The next morning Kyla and I got up early to head to town for a kayak adventure down a river with a local company - my first trip. I did well, but had at trouble with the rudder, it was hard to keep it straight so it was a challenge to steer myself. But all in all I liked being in my own flotation device. The Trip was 3 1/2 hours long, and of course I felt a little sore. We didn't see any alligators - only birds. We also explore St. Simons (ugh! too touristy, bad food, expensive museums) and Jekyll Island (lovely beach! Former island of the Millionare's club). We stayed until sunset and once again got into the hostel at night time. On the Sunday of our trip, we decided to stay the whole day at hostel - it was awesome - skinny dip in the pond (twice), walk around to the garden and sweat lodge. Many of the paths are wooden boardwalks raised 2 feet off the ground through the lovely forest. There is a duck pond, murky swimming pool, giant walking labyrinth, tons of tree-roosting chickens. I painted pictures, wrote cards, read books, made shell ornaments by visiting the art dome. Very nice day indeed! At night the fireflies (lightning bugs) were out - magical. The only difficult thing about Hostel in the Forest were all the "palmetto bugs" - aka Roaches. I guess after some heavy rains there were more than usual skiddering about as soon as night falls. I really hated them and it was hard going to sleep at night knowing we had neighbors. Also the bedding was dampish-moldy - so if I stay again, I'd bring some of my own bedding.

Shanghai Lipu Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. is a professional Ball Mill,Magnetic Separator,Flotation Machine, manufacturer and exporter in China.
Copper Ore Flotation machine is used for separating ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It can be also used for separation of non-metaI materials such as coaI fluorite and steatite.The impelIer rotates by triangIe belt of the motor,whih produces centrifugal function and causes negative pressure.0n one hand it draws in enough air mixed with ore magma; on the other hand it agitates to mix ore magma with chemicaI medicines.At the same time,it minifies bubbles so that minerals can stick above them.float on the su- rface of magma,and form mineralized bubbles.The height of plate can be adjusted to control fluid Ievel so that the avaIlable bubbles can be scrapped out by scrapers.
Copper Flotation Machine Working Principle Description
1. Certificate ISO9001;
2. High quality and Competitive Price;
3.Stable performance;
4.Apply for wide range;
When in application, the impeller is revolved by the motor in order to produce centrifugal forces and negative pressure. Air is then absorbed to mix with the ore pulp (slurry). The copper ore pulp is stirred and mixed with chemical additives, which results in the formation of mineralized froth on the surface of the slurry. The liquid level can be carefully adjusted by altering the height of the flash board.
Application Area of Copper Flotation Machine
The copper ore flotation machine can be effectively applied for applications involving the separation of ferrous and non ferrous metal such as fluorite and talc. The machine has an impeller which works to create centrifugal forces in the form of negative pressure.The machine impellers and stators should be kept at a distance and replacement done as soon as they get worn. The pump bearings should be maintained every three months. Copper Flotation Separator can be used in mining, metallurgical industry, construction, road and railway building, conversancy, chemistry, etc.

Measuring possible flotation space volume using popcorn (unsalted, of course, and made in a hot air popper so as not to get any cooking oil on the wood) – in practice I plan to just use solid foam glued under the deck, heaviest along the sheer clamp area, for flotation and leave the ends open, thus this popcorn area will be open. Still, perhaps I should leave the popcorn there just in case I need something to eat when I get marooned on a desert island. Naw!!

Apollo Command Module Boilerplate
A boilerplate is a simplified metal model created to test specific aspects of the real spacecraft, such as water landings, launch abort escape rockets, or recovery systems. It duplicates the size, weight, shape, and center of gravity of the actual vehicle.
This particular boilerplate is BP-1101A. NASA used it for flotation tests in the Gulf of Mexico in July, 1965. After some modifications, NASA used it for additional ocean testing in 1966 and 1967.

These concentrate thickeners used a chemical flotation process to separate metal from rock in finely ground ore.
For the Apollo missions. We were cracking each other up by trying to figure out if this was a "girl" pod because of the orbs on top or if it was a "boy" pod as the orbs are designed to flip the capsule upright if it lands upside-down.
The consensus was that it's a girl capsule as the weird marking on the orbs looked like hands grabbing the "boobies" and serve as flotation devices. ^.^

Good thing someone has placed a rope here. The rock is like marble and very slippery. Difficult even with the rope. The blue in the foreground is a flotation thingy I used to carry the camera.
After the loss of Liberty Bell 7 during recovery operations in 1961, NASA decided to include a provision for a"flotation collar" on future manned spacecraft. This collar was dropped into the sea, along with the recovery frogmen, who attached to the spacecraft, before any hatch opening. This boiler plate CM is used to show the actual flotastion collar used on Apollo 11.

SOIL DEGRADATION
"River Borska: The flotation tailings pond of the Bor Copper Mine poses a great ecological problem not only for the town of Bor but also for the surrounding soils and watercourses.Due to technological failures in the closed-water system, waste waters from mining and processing are discharged into the Borska and Kriveljska Rivers. Discharged mining waters have a high content of suspended substances, such as copper and other heavy metals, and a low pH value. Similarly, metallurgical waters formed in the sulphuric acid plant and tank house are acid and contain harmful elements (Cu, As, Pb, Zn). These waste waters are released untreated into a reception lake and further to the Borska, Timok and Danube Rivers."
Just a little composition that caught my eye on Dublin's South wall. I read a while back that the Captain of the HMS Bounty, Capt. William Bligh, had devised the opposing wall on the North side. We have him to thank for Bull Island, one of Dublin's nature reserves and bird sanctuaries. There is a great history that surrounds Capt. William Bligh, most will know him as the formidable Captain whose crew declared mutiny on the bounty and set the Captain and officers in a life raft while they set sail for Pitcairn Island. The descendants of the crew are still there today and subject to British rule supposedly although recent events have bought into question how far British rule really extends. Bligh's excellent navigational skills allowed him to navigate to the safety of Timor, some 3618 miles, using only a sextant and oars.
Ski-Bird boat brochure pg 2
Design & Construction
The Ski Birds are revolutionary aerodynamically designed boats employing the principles used in aircraft construction. Unusual rigidity and strength are inherent characteristics providing resiliency without extra weight.
Flotation chambers are built into the hull to assure it remaining afloat even if swamped and fully equipped. Construction of woven glass fibers and polyester resins applied in an exclusive overlap pattern assures you of a vibration free hull that will add years of extra life to your boat.
Color is permanently molded into the fiberglass to keep that "just new" look for years. Annual maintenance problems are reduced to a minimum giving you more time for in the water fun.

Beech Fork Lake hosted its annual cleanup event last month and approximately 40 volunteers collected enough garbage to fill 258 enormous trash bags and 54 old tires from the lake and surrounding recreation area.
Natural Resources and Recreation Management students from Marshall University,
Wayne High School Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps members and Beech Fork Lake's long-term volunteer hosts were the biggest supporters of the cleanup effort, along with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers park rangers and maintenance staff.
West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s Make It Shine program supplied trash bags, gloves, trash grabbers and garbage hauling services. Great Outdoors and the Beech Fork Lake Marina donated a pontoon boat and personal flotation devices.
Volunteers enjoyed a barbecue after the cleanup.
“We are always grateful for our dedicated volunteers whose cleanup efforts assist in improving the quality of Beech Fork for visitors, wildlife and vegetation through environmental enhancement,” said Zack Abbott, a park ranger at Beech Fork Lake.
Beech Fork Lake is a 720-acre reservoir located near Lavalette in Wayne County, West Virginia. Developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the mid 1970's, Beech Fork Lake is popular among recreational boaters, anglers, hikers and campers.

I love the delicacy of this plant... the bright yellow petals and rich gold stamens. And look closely at the leaves in the background. A more detailed look at the leaves appears below.
Like the American Coot, the aquatic Sensitive Plant has adapted to living on water. The Coot has "floating feet" and the Sensitive Plant has "floating stems." Unique flotation material similar to soft styrofoam surrounds its floating stems. Yes, Mother Nature is quite the adaptive creator!
As their name describes, Sensitive Plant's thin, narrow leaves close slowly when touched.
At night they also fold up. Yellow flowers are feathery balls. Grows quickly in warm weather. Does not tolerate cold. Pretty and different; fascinating to kids and adults.
This pond plant is also called the Catclaw mimosa. Sensitive plants grow to a height of 5" and spreads to 34". Sensitive plant is a native plant of the US. The sensitive plant should be used as an annual pond plant. This floating plant propagates by seed or by cutting. Sensitive plant blooms in summer with yellow pea like flowers. Set in the pond when the water has reached 69º. This floating plant needs full sun to partial shade. Plant has yellow flowers in summer. This plant should be planted in soil 2-7 inches deep but can be floated on the water's surface. Zones 5-11.

High visibility orange lifejackets are typically referred to as Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) or simply lifejackets.
A Mae West lifejacket is a specific type of inflatable life preserver that was widely used during World War II. It was named after the actress Mae West because, when inflated, it resembled her curvaceous figure. This lifejacket was designed to be worn by pilots and aircrew, and it could be inflated using CO2 cartridges or manually through a tube.
All finished for the day!
Ready for face ply on the battery box and flotation boxen. After that we'll be running conduit for the electricals, installing a drain plug, and putting in some expoxy/milled fiber fillets in all the corners.
