    Flyboarding<br />

</div>
</div>
</div>
About four years ago, my father returned home from a 
business trip and showed me a picture he took of a person attached to 
some sort of futuristic jet pack. I’m pretty aware of new gadgets thanks
 to social media and websites like <em>Popular Science</em>, but I 
hadn’t seen or heard about anything like this before—I didn’t even know 
how to Google it! After several days, I gave up on my search.<br />

Then, a year later, I stumbled upon a <a class="linkTargets-processed external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAJkVSxMRm0" target="_blank">video</a>
 and learned that these jet packs are actually called Flyboards, and 
they're more like snowboards with pressurized streams of water that 
propel them into the air. The video made Flyboarding look not only fun, 
but beautiful! Multiple people were Flyboarding at the same time and 
doing coordinated tricks. I knew I had to try it for myself.<br />
<br />

</div>
<br />
Unfortunately,
 I couldn’t find a local company that offered Flyboarding. Since then 
though, it's started to gain popularity. I even found a company that 
offered to let customers Flyboard near my parents’ home on Long Island. 
However, $200 for a half hour of Flyboarding was not in my budget, so I 
put the dream of Flyboarding on hold.<br />

Earlier this month, April 2016, my boyfriend and I went on a vacation
 to Costa Rica. While I was researching companies that offer zip-lining 
(which I was told is a must in Costa Rica), I found one called <a class="linkTargets-processed external" href="http://skyadventures.travel/" target="_blank">Sky Adventures</a> that also offers Flyboarding for less than half the price of the Long Island company. (<em>Spoiler alert</em>: While a half hour doesn’t seem like a lot of time, it is plenty.) Without hesitating, I booked it!<br />

<h5>
The Experience</h5>
We met our instructor at the lake, where he was waiting for us with a
 jet ski and Flyboard. The Flyboard itself is roughly the size of a 
skateboard with two boot attachments for your feet, similar to a 
snowboard. The critical component of the Flyboard, though, is the hose 
that connects it to the jet exit of the jet ski. The water it pumps out 
is what provides the thrust to get the user out of the water and keep 
them up in the air.<br />

<div class="in-content-skip">
(<em>Author’s note</em>: I admit I watched 
some “How-to” videos on YouTube to prepare myself, and it was a good 
thing I did. I felt much more comfortable with the board and already had
 a basic understanding of what the instructor went over with us.)</div>

The instructions seemed simple enough. Swim far away from
 the jet ski, stand up while in the water with the Flyboard directly 
under you, keep your feet level with each other and your legs locked, 
and let the water pressure push you up. Once you’re in the air, pointing
 your toes down will move you forward, pointing toes up will move you 
backward, lifting your left knee up will move you right, and lifting 
your right knee up will, you guessed it, move you left. How high you go 
though is controlled by the water pressure from the jet ski, so it can 
only be adjusted by the instructor (or whomever is driving the jet ski).<br />

<div class="in-content-skip">
I was ready as I could be. I got into a 
standing position and gave the okay. Turns out, Flyboarding is a lot

    Try not to crash<br />
<br />

</div>
</div>
</div>
Once more than half of my body was out of the water, I 
lost my balance and immediately fell over. It took me at least two more 
tries before I was able to emerge completely from the water, and hover 
one foot above the surface. Once I was comfortable at that height, the 
instructor turned up the throttle…which resulted in multiple crashes 
with the water.<br />

I picked up a few tips to share with you to reduce the number of crashes you have, and make the ones you do have less painful:<br />

<ol>
<li>As you’re flying, focus on a single point. The lake I was on was 
near the Arenal Volcano. In addition to the great view, the volcano gave
 me something to concentrate on, instead of perpetually thinking “Don’t 
fall! Don’t fall! Don’t fall!”</li>
<li>When you do crash, try your best to dive into the water. Put your
 arms above your head, one hand on top of the other, forming a point. 
This breaks the surface of the water and reduces the impact of the crash
 on your head. Even though you’ll be wearing a helmet, a head-first 
crash will still hurt.</li>
</ol>
<div class="in-content-skip">
Several launches later, I had finally gotten 
the hang of Flyboarding. I even managed to get six feet above the water,
 though it felt like I was twice as high as that. It was both scary and 
thrilling to feel like I was flying. I even attempted to control my 
directions on the Flyboard and spin around, like I’d seen in many 
YouTube videos, though I ended up in the water immediately.</div>

<h5>
Final Thoughts</h5>
<div class="in-content-skip">
Flyboarding is definitely worth trying if 
it’s in your budget. The price and length of your session will vary by 
location, but thirty minutes seemed to be the perfect amount of time for
 a beginner; it was enough time to get comfortable with the board, but I
 was finished before I was too sore. If you are more coordinated than I 
am, you might consider a 45-minute or an hour-long session. When my time
 was up, I was pretty sore and tired of getting water up my nose, but 
glad for the experience.</div>

<br />
Scientists at the Arctic University of Norway have apparently found 
that methane gas explosions can be linked to the mystery of unusual 
number of disappearances of ships, aircraft and, people in the Bermuda 
Triangle – the area of the Atlantic Ocean cornered by Bermuda, Puerto 
Rico and Miami, Florida, often called the “devil’s triangle”.<br />
The scientists believe deposits of oil and methane gas buried deeper 
in the sea floor burst through the seabed and formed giant underwater 
craters – they have discovered up to half a mile wide and 150ft deep – 
off the coast of natural gas-rich Norway. They suggest the huge methane 
bursts could churn up water potentially posing a danger to ships, or 
escape into the atmosphere potentially posing risks to aircrafts.<br />
<br />
<i>“<a href="http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/Science/article1677701.ece?CMP=OTH-gnws-standard-2016_03_12" target="_blank">Multiple giant craters exist on the sea floor</a>
 in an area in the west-central Barents Sea … and are probably a cause 
of enormous blowouts of gas. The crater area is likely to represent one 
of the largest hotspots for shallow marine methane release in the 
Arctic,”</i> scientists from the Arctic University of Norway told <i>The Sunday Times</i>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The mystery behind solving the mystery</b><br />
Although, further details of the findings will be released in April 
at the annual meeting of the European Geosciences Union, the <a href="http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/EGU2016-14375.pdf" target="_blank">University of Norway research preliminary summary</a> caused quite a stir forcing co-author Karin Andreassen to release a statement:<br />
<br />
<i>“We have discovered many large craters on the seabed in the 
central Barents Sea. Analyses suggest that blowout of methane gas once 
the ice retreated after the last Ice Age formed these craters. We have 
yet to publish these results, so these are preliminary. <a href="https://cage.uit.no/news/craters-in-barents-sea-not-connected-to-bermuda-triangle/" target="_blank">What I can say is that we are not making any links to the Bermuda Triangle</a>. </i><br />
<br />
<i>“Craters are gigantic, up to one kilometer wide and 30 meters 
deep, and give evidence on blowouts of gas from the seabed. Blowouts can
 be linked to thawing of gas hydrates, which is methane in form of ice, 
beneath the seabed after the last Ice Age ended. But conditions during 
the last ice age cannot be compared with what we see today.”</i><br />
<br />
<b>The ”evidence”</b><br />
The scientists have refrained from linking the Bermuda Triangle, but 
the idea is not new. The theory was initially posited in 2014 by Russian
 scientist Igor Yeltsov from the Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum-Gas 
Geology and Geophysics.<br />
<br />
<i>“‘There is a theory that the Bermuda Triangle is caused by gas 
hydrates. They start to actively decompose with methane ice turning into
 gas. It happens in an avalanche-like way, like a nuclear reaction, 
producing huge amounts of gas. That makes the ocean heat up, and <a href="http://siberiantimes.com/science/casestudy/news/siberian-exploding-holes-are-the-key-to-bermuda-triangle-scientists/" target="_blank">ships sink in waters which are infused with huge amounts of gas</a>.
 This leads to the air becoming supersaturated with methane, creating an
 extremely turbulent atmosphere, leading to aircraft crashes.” </i><br />
<br />
National Geographic also reported in 2015 that “methane can escape 
into the air, making the atmosphere highly turbulent and perhaps causing
 aircraft to crash”.<br />
<i>International Business Times</i> also notes:<br />
<br />
<i>The area, also known as the “Devil’s Triangle”, is a western area
 of the North Atlantic Ocean bounded by Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a point
 near Melbourne, Florida, where numerous ships and aircraft have 
mysteriously disappeared throughout the ages.</i> <i>The bedrock of these seas has many magnetic anomalies that can produce misleading compass readings. <a href="http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/bermuda-triangle-mystery-solved-by-enormous-gas-blowouts-ocean-floor-1549223" target="_blank">The deposits of frozen methane gas can explode in violent outbursts</a>
 – methane blowouts – capable of sinking even large vessels. These 
waters are also prone to waterspouts, which are vortices that suck up 
water from the sea into the clouds. The winds of these waterspouts can 
reach more than 190kmph (120mph) and are common during the summer in the
 humid air and warm waters of Florida’s seas, where there are probably 
400-500 waterspouts each year.</i><br />

<br />
<b>The real mystery</b><br />
There have been <a href="http://www.livescience.com/23435-bermuda-triangle.html" target="_blank">a number of conspiracy theories</a> about the Bermuda Triangle, but not many are convinced. John Reilly, a historian with the US Naval Historical Foundation, told <i>National Geographic</i>:<br />
<br />
<i>“<a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/03/160315-norway-craters-methane-hydrates-bermuda-triangle-science/" target="_blank">The region is highly traveled and has been a busy crossroads</a>
 since the early days of European exploration. To say quite a few ships 
and airplanes have gone down there is like saying there are an awful lot
 of car accidents on the New Jersey Turnpike — surprise, surprise.”</i><br />
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also notes:<br />
<br />
<i>Environmental considerations could explain many, if not most, of 
the disappearances. The majority of Atlantic tropical storms and 
hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle, and in the days prior to 
improved weather forecasting, these dangerous storms claimed many ships.
 Also, the Gulf Stream can cause rapid, sometimes violent, changes in 
weather. Additionally, the large number of islands in the Caribbean Sea 
creates many areas of shallow water that can be treacherous to ship 
navigation. And there is some evidence to suggest that the <a href="http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/bermudatri.html" target="_blank">Bermuda Triangle is a place where a “magnetic” compass sometimes points towards “true” north, as opposed to “magnetic” north</a>. </i><br />
<br />
<i>The ocean has always been a mysterious place to humans, and when 
foul weather or poor navigation is involved, it can be a very deadly 
place. This is true all over the world. <b>There is no evidence 
that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the 
Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the 
ocean. </b></i><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The system, which the company refers to as the 13 m high-speed intercept boat, features a breadth of 4 m and a draught of 0.6 m.<br />
<br />
"This is the first time that we are showing this outside China", said 
Zhu Yingzi, manager of the USV programme at Poly Technologies Inc., a 
subsidiary of the state-owned China Poly Group Corporation - an 
enterprise that has been authorised by Beijing to develop and promote 
Chinese-made defence materiel globally. Zhu was speaking to <i>IHS Jane's</i> at the DSA 2016 exhibition in Kuala Lumpur on 18 April.<br />
<br />
"The interceptor has been developed by Poly Group Corporation in 
conjunction with Harbin Engineering University. A prototype of the USV 
is still currently being tested by the [People's Liberation Army Navy, 
or PLAN] and we [expect to have] an export version in about one year", 
said Zhu, who added that the prototype is currently being deployed to 
patrol a naval facility that cannot be disclosed.<br />
<br />
According to further specifications provided by the company, the 
interceptor can reach a speed of 80 kt in a standard configuration that 
includes a high-resolution video camera and datalinks. The vessel can 
also be configured to follow a predetermined patrol route and track 
surface targets autonomously.<br />

Archaeologist <a href="http://piramidasunca.ba/eng/latest-news/item/10649-biggest-stone-ball-in-europe-just-discovered-in-bosnia.html">Dr. Sam Osmanagich</a> discovered the stone in the Podunavlje Forest in mid-March and believes it may be the largest stone ball in the world.<br />
So
 far, less than half of the ball has been uncovered, but Osmanagich 
estimates its radius to measure between 1.2 and 1.5 meters (3.9 - 
4.9ft).<br />

With a very high iron 
content, preliminary tests suggest the huge ball could weigh more than 
30 tons (60,000lb), which would make it the biggest stone sphere in 
Europe.<br />
If it turns out to be even heavier, it could surpass similar discoveries in <a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1453">Costa Rica</a> (which are believed to be man made) and in <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8593717.stm">Mexico</a> (deemed natural formations) to be declared the biggest stone ball in the world.<br />
Osmanagich
 says when the research is complete, the discovery could prove that 
Southern Europe was home to advanced civilizations from the <em>“distant past”</em> who had their own form of<em> “high technology”</em>.<br />
Osmanagich
 has previously claimed that a series of hills in central Bosnia and 
Herzegovina actually contain ancient pyramids and tunnels underground. 
He says that the huge sphere could back up this theory by providing 
further evidence of an ancient highly developed civilization.<br />
However,
 Osmanagich’s claims about the stone are disputed by fellow 
archeologists who have a different - and more natural - explanation for 
the large stone.<br />
Mandy Edwards of the University of Manchester's School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences told the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3527997/Is-rock-proof-lost-European-civilisation-Archaeologist-claims-spherical-boulder-world-s-oldest-man-sphere-used-healing.html">MailOnline</a> the rock is likely a result of <em>‘concretion’</em>, formed by the "<em>precipitation of natural mineral cement within the spaces between sediment grains</em>".<br />

Modern spy satellite has great view to monitor a vast area in details
 but it has limited channels to pass lots of photos taken by 
reconnaissance drones. One satellite can only relays the photos taken by
 four drones.<br />

An aerostat that can carry heavier equipment and remain geostatic in 
stratosphere will be much cheaper and better than a satellite for 
communications relay, intelligence collection, electronic suppression 
and aerial early warning.<br />
<br />

<span class="skimlinks-unlinked">Mil.eastday.com </span>has recently report successfully tested its 4Q00I-1 aerostat in Malan,
 Xinjiang.<br />
The aerostat remained entirely in control during the test and
 was recovered safely with all the equipment intact.<br />

4Q001-1 aerostat had remained floating at the altitude of 19.3 km a 
little below the near space layer between 20 km and 100 km above earth 
surface. China plans to send an aerostat into that layer and have it 
remain there for quite a long time.<br />

The Chinese aerostat has an Euler body structure like a flying disk 
in shape with a diameter of tens of meters. It uses solar energy to 
resist the strong wind in stratosphere and remain geostatic.<br />
<br />

The article says so far the best aerostat in the world can only 
remain in the sky for about 30 hours, but the people in charge of 
China’s aerostat project want Chinese aerostat to remain in sky for 
weeks and even months with the immediate goal of having it remain in sky
 for a week.<br />
