A July 4 tradition since 1973, the current version of the Grand Bay Watermelon Festival offers tourists and locals an opportunity to sample locally grown watermelon while enjoying amusement rides, arts & crafts, and informative displays from area merchants and service providers.

To illustrate the difference: The sound and the change in the air's drift velocity ( the force of the wind gust ) cross distance at rates equaling the speeds of sound and of mechanical transmission of force ( not higher than rate of drift velocity ); while a change in an EM field and the change in current ( electrons ' drift velocity ) both propagate across distance at rates much higher than the actual drift velocity.

If extension is executed properly the discus will be at the right angle to ride on the air current and thus be taken a farther distance.

In particular, according to Maxwell, currents directly produce a magnetic field, but it is of a magnetic dipole type which dies out rapidly with distance from the current.

Alternating current thus pulses back and forth within a conductor without the charge moving any net distance over time.

During the 2005 Conservative leadership contest, eventual winner David Cameron pledged to withdraw the Conservatives from the EPP-ED coalition, while opponent David Davis argued in a letter to the editor of the Daily Telegraph that the current ED arrangement allowed the Conservatives to maintain suitable distance from EPP while still having influence in the largest parliamentary grouping.

The conventional SI system of units is based on seven basic dimensional quantities, namely distance, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.

It is believed that the current oscillations of the Moon's distance from the Earth ( on the order of meters ) are a result of this collision.

It is equal to the energy expended ( or work done ) in applying a force of one newton through a distance of one metre ( 1 newton metre or N · m ), or in passing an electric current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm for one second.

In 1896, the distance was changed to its current.

For example, a jump instruction can reference an absolute address or an offset from the current location, and the offset could be expressed with different lengths depending on the distance to the target.

Metals are good conductors, making them valuable in electrical appliances and for carrying an electric current over a distance with little energy lost.

* 1891 – The International Electro-Technical Exhibition opens in Frankfurt, Germany, and will feature the world's first long distance transmission of high-power, three-phase electrical current ( the most common form today ).

The race has been held since 1861 ( see list of Melbourne Cup winners ) and was originally held over two miles ( about 3, 218 metres ) but following preparation for Australia's adoption of the metric system in the 1970s, the current race distance of 3, 200 metres was established in 1972.

In general, a sling bullet lobbed in a high trajectory can achieve ranges approaching 400 m ; the current Guinness World Record distance of an object thrown with a sling stands at 477. 0 m, set by David Engvall in 1992 using a metal dart.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the current record for the greatest distance achieved in hurling an object from a sling is:, using a long sling and a dart.

Electricity was a new technology, and the limitations of direct current for effective distance was poorly understood, so failures were also possible because of the decrease in voltage when the torpedoes were too far from the batteries.

* The passage of an induced current in the body produces a similar effect to that of a spark at a distance.

Towards the end of the lecture, he proposed that sending over the wire current vibrations of very high frequencies at enormous distance without affecting greatly the character of the vibrations and that telephony could be rendered practicable across the Atlantic.

Such a large mass is too large to have accumulated since the Big Bang using current models and may indicate that gravity falls off slower than inverse-squared at certain distance scales.

The War of Currents ended with alternating current ( AC ) as the only means of long distance power transmission.

This can be contrasted with current conceptions in quantum physics, where the Planck length, an almost unimaginably tiny quantity, represents reaching that distance scale where, it has been theorized, all measurement seemingly breaks down to that which can be subsumed at this scale, as distance only, or extension.

For example, two parallel coils separated by a small distance, carrying the same current in the same direction will produce a magnetic bottle between them.

At a distance x into the line, there is current phasor I ( x ) traveling through each wire, and there is a voltage difference phasor V ( x ) between the wires ( bottom voltage minus top voltage ).

The record of past earnings and prospects for the future must indicate it has the ability to repay the loan out of current and anticipated income.

* The current world record was set in 1999 at 100 picokelvins ( pK ), or 0. 000 000 000 1 of a kelvin, by cooling the nuclear spins in a piece of rhodium metal.

# If the beat on the new record hits before the beat on the current record then the new record is too fast, reduce the pitch and manually slow the speed of the new record to bring the beats back in sync.

# If the beat on the new record hits after the beat on the current record then the new record is too slow, increase the pitch and manually increase the speed of the new record to bring the beats back in sync.

No large earthquake has occurred on the Hayward Fault near Berkeley in historic times ( except possibly in 1836 ), but seismologists warn about the geologic record of large temblors several times in the deeper past, and their current assessment is that a quake of 6. 5 or greater is imminent, sometime within the next 30 years.

Deforestation causes extinction, changes to climatic conditions, desertification, and displacement of populations as observed by current conditions and in the past through the fossil record.

* A tagged union ( also called a variant, variant record, discriminated union, or disjoint union ) contains an additional field indicating its current type, for enhanced type safety.

Having noted the current use of many, often contradictory, definitions of feudalism, she argued that the word is only a construct with no basis in medieval reality, an invention of modern historians read back " tyrannically " into the historical record.

The current observed amount of CO < sub > 2 </ sub > exceeds the geological record maxima (~ 300 ppm ) from ice core data.

Javier Sotomayor ( Cuba ) is the current men's record holder with a jump of 2. 45 metres set in 1993, the longest standing record in the history of the men's high jump.

He retired as the career home run leader for catchers, a record which stood until surpassed by Carlton Fisk and the current record holder, Mike Piazza.

On August 30 of that year, Mike Powell of the United States, in a well-known show down against Carl Lewis, leapt at the World Championships in Tokyo, setting the current men's world record which has now stood for over 20 years.

The current world record for women is held by Galina Chistyakova of the former Soviet Union who leapt in Leningrad on June 11, 1988, a mark that has stood for 24 years.

Juranitch admits to being somewhat of an eccentric — he holds the current world record for fastest time shaving a beard with an axe, but hasn't shaved his beard since he won the Ragnar job among 3, 000 applicants.

* 1978 – Australia's Ken Warby sets the current world water speed record of 317. 60mph at Blowering Dam, Australia.

Fremont eventually captures and imprisons Dick and Brady after the latter attempts to produce and distribute a record that contains subliminal messages of revolt against the current dictatorship.

When it becomes possible for a people to describe as ‘ postmodern ’ the décor of a room, the design of a building, the diegesis of a film, the construction of a record, or a ‘ scratch ’ video, a television commercial, or an arts documentary, or the ‘ intertextual ’ relations between them, the layout of a page in a fashion magazine or critical journal, an anti-teleological tendency within epistemology, the attack on the ‘ metaphysics of presence ’, a general attenuation of feeling, the collective chagrin and morbid projections of a post-War generation of baby boomers confronting disillusioned middle-age, the ‘ predicament ’ of reflexivity, a group of rhetorical tropes, a proliferation of surfaces, a new phase in commodity fetishism, a fascination for images, codes and styles, a process of cultural, political or existential fragmentation and / or crisis, the ‘ de-centring ’ of the subject, an ‘ incredulity towards metanarratives ’, the replacement of unitary power axes by a plurality of power / discourse formations, the ‘ implosion of meaning ’, the collapse of cultural hierarchies, the dread engendered by the threat of nuclear self-destruction, the decline of the university, the functioning and effects of the new miniaturised technologies, broad societal and economic shifts into a ‘ media ’, ‘ consumer ’ or ‘ multinational ’ phase, a sense ( depending on who you read ) of ‘ placelessness ’ or the abandonment of placelessness (‘ critical regionalism ’) or ( even ) a generalised substitution of spatial for temporal coordinates-when it becomes possible to describe all these things as ‘ Postmodern ’ ( or more simply using a current abbreviation as ‘ post ’ or ‘ very post ’) then it ’ s clear we are in the presence of a buzzword.
