Jet Lag - 7 Steps To A Successful Trip
Arriving full of excitement and anticipation is great, but finding that you can't sleep at night, you're tired during the day and you've got an upset stomach and a headache can do a lot more than just take the edge off your trip. So take advantage of this and don't hide yourself away indoors. Daylight sends powerful signals to your body clock and you'll find that it adjusts far more quickly if it is exposed to the normal cycle of daylight and darkness at your destination. Once you reach your destination get out into daylight as much as possible during the first few days of your trip. It can often be difficult settling in strange surroundings and, in particular, relaxing sufficiently to fall asleep.

Aerodynamic Inflatable Wing Gates for STOL
The hinges will be on the side closest to the end of the wing not the fuselage as to not upset the already turbulent airflows at high angles of attack or near stall speeds. The gates will fold straight up and recessed into the wing with a panel, which pops outward. The gates will use the same air in the lines which are cross fed so that one gate cannot come up or stay up without the other. Before takeoff these inflatable gates will blown up into place with small canisters. These gates will be filled with ram air prior to landing or approaching high angles of attack or stall speeds.

What Causes Jet Lag?
In particular, your body clock tells your body when it is time to shut down for sleep and when it is time to wake up and start the day's activities. By flying across several time zones and placing your body clock out balance with local time you upset the whole rhythm of your day, giving rise to such things as problems sleeping at night, staying awake during the day and eating when you wouldn't normally eat. Much as our lives are controlled by time today, your body clock is also responsible for many of your body's functions. Your body contains its own internal clock which takes its time from the environment responding to such things as temperature, humidity and, most importantly, the normal daily change from daylight to darkness. These environmental factors cause your own body clock to run, much like your mantle clock, on a series of twenty four cycles, often referred to as your body's circadian rhythms.

Young Men Trying to Imitate the 9-11 Scenario, Part III
The act of crashing an airplane into a building is not excusable, but it is a sign that something is terribly wrong here, and not just in the mind of a young man who upset at the world for total disregard of the individual. I am not saying that Teen Challenge, DARE or any of another dozen programs are not totally worthy efforts both in our time spent and the results yielded. Only different in that they try harder or dream more. But I do point out here and forever that we are simultaneously rewarding those who act out and are not following the program. Those who go beyond what normal kids do and try to exceed the normal realm of their social structure.
