Nicholas Natale, Kyle Guzman, Conor O?Callahan, Paul Febles Physics H- Curran 3/26/14 Hypothesis: The two darts will hit the ground at the same time because gravity is the factor affecting them, and gravity is constant. Dart Experiment Procedure Materials: 2 Nerf Dart guns 2 Darts (one weighted with metal beads) Metal Beads Camera Procedure: We will test the reaction time of the guns when the trigger is pulled to make sure that they are uniform. (This will be tested 3 times) We will shoot the darts from a balcony at the same height and two people will be below the drop site. One person will shoot both guns so they will be fired almost at the same time. We will rotate who shoots the guns in order to make sure person shooting has little to no effect on results.

Poetry

Shijing (The Book of Songs) is the earliest collection of Chinese poems including 305 poems of the Zhou Dynasty (1122-256 B.C.). It was originally called Shi (Poems) and Shi Sanbai (Three Hundred Poems). It was the Confucians of the Han Dynasty who gave it the name Shijing. It is also called Maoshi (Mao Poems) because it was by the hand of Mao Heng of the Han Dynasty that Shijing was passed down to the present time. ?

Canada-Latin America relations

In Latin America, much of the 20th century witnessed a struggle between the forces of revolution and reaction. The focus of this chapter and the next is on third world nations, which display great diversity and cultural emphasis. In the second half of the 20th century, Latin America took an intermediate position between the nations of the north Atlantic and those of Africa and Asia. Investments often came from the West and Latin America was vulnerable to the world financial system. The US constantly intervened with Latin American issues such as economically, politically, strategically, and ideologically.
