High jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although the event was likely competed in as early as the ancient Greek Olympics, the first recorded high jump competition took place in Scotland in the early 19th century, with clearances of up to 5'6" (1.68 m) measured. The high jump is an athletics/track and field event in which competitors must jump over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights. The modern high jump bar is made of glass-reinforced plastic or aluminum. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/High_jump   (1103 words)

Table tennis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Table tennis, also known as Ping pong (a trademarked name), is one of the most popular games in the world in terms of player numbers, as well as being one of the newest of the major sports. Table tennis was banned in the Soviet Union from 1930 to 1950 because authorities believed the sport was harmful to people’s eyes. Table tennis was growing in popularity by 1901 when table tennis tournaments were being organized, books on table tennis were being written, and an unofficial world championship was held in 1902. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Table_tennis   (3629 words)

Jump rope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump rope, also known as skipping rope or skip rope, is a game played primarily by children in which one or more children jump over a spinning rope so that it passes under their feet and over their heads. Jump Rope is used in a sexual context describing the act of a bound submissive attempting to jump or escape the binding rope.

Axel jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Axel is a jump in figure skating, named after the Norwegian skater Axel Paulsen (1855-1938) who was the first to perform it in 1882. Axel Paulsen was the first skater to perform the jump named after him, in 1882. When the skater makes a mistake in the timing of the jump such that the blade does not grip at all and he or she slips completely off the edge, the result is what is called a waxel, often resulting in a fall. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Axel_jump   (1217 words)

Jump boot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump boots are fully laced from the instep to the top and give more support to the ankle whereas ordinary combat boots during World War Two were laced just above the ankle and had to be worn with leggings or puttees to prevent mud and dirt from entering the shoe. Jump boots (also known as paratrooper boots) are a type of combat boot typically associated with soldiers (called paratroopers) assigned to parachute units. Although in modern times, nearly all combat boots are fully laced, modern jump boots are mainly worn as dress and parade boots. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jump_boot   (12074 words)

Anders Haaning's hydraulic jump page We describe experimental results on the circular hydraulic jump in a viscous fluid (ethylene-glycol mixed with water) in a setup, where the depth of the fluid far away from the jet is controlled. The radial case is stationary and the origin of the jump has to be sought in the fact that the layer, because of the radial spread, becomes very thin and the shear forces correspondingly large, which leads to separation. A closer look at hydraulic jumps in the linear and radial cases, confirms Lord Rayleigh's criteria at least roughly, but also reveals that the structure of the flow is rather complicated. www.nbi.dk /~haaning/jumpside.html   (12074 words)

Wall jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some games allow the player to repeatedly wall jump up a single wall or to bounce between two walls in a narrow corridor. The basic premise of a wall jump is that the player jumps into a wall or another vertical barrier of some kind and pushes off from the wall in order to start another jump. The player is sometimes able to change directions after a wall jump, meaning they can direct themselves into the wall again in order to repeatedly wall jump and ascend structures. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wall_jump   (181 words)

Jump threading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In this pass, conditional jumps in the code that branch to identical or inverse tests are detected, and can be "threaded" through a second conditional test. In computing, jump threading is a compiler optimization. This is easily done in a single pass through the program, following acyclic chained jumps until you arrive at a fixed point. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jump_threading   (82 words)

River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia River management is an ongoing activity as rivers tend to 'undo' the modifications made by man. Dredged channels silt up, sluice mechanisms deteriorate with age, levees and dams may suffer seepage or catastrophic failure. Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial meltwater, flowing from a body of water such as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places where the soil is waterlogged. Meuse - principal river of the southern provinces of the Netherlands and eastern Belgium. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/River   (2019 words)

Long jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The long jump (formerly called "broad jump") is an athletic (track and field) event in which athletes attempt to land as far from their take-off points as possible. The long jump was one of the events of the original Olympics in Ancient Greece. Jumps longer than 8.95 meters have been recorded (by Carl Lewis and Ivan Pedroso), but were not validated since there was either no reliable wind speed measurement available, or because wind speed exceeded 2.0 m/s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Long_jump   (516 words)

Jimmy Jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jimmy Jump is a Spanish Catalan "jumper", or pitch invader. This particular pitch invasion seemed to serve two purposes, as not only did Jimmy gain worldwide coverage, the Catalan "jumper" seemed to be settling a score against Portuguese football star Luis Figo, whom the Catalans consider a traitor after transferring to arch-rivals Real Madrid from FC Barcelona. The last time he was seen at a major event was when he "jumped" during the semi-final match of Champions League between Liverpool and Chelsea on May 3, 2005. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jimmy_Jump   (516 words)

Jump Gate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A jump gate can be turned on or off, but it takes quite some time for the jump gate generators to power up or power down. When a jump gate is activated, an energy pulse runs down each of the cylinders, until it reaches the end of the cylinder. This is because the onboard jump point generators require a large amount of energy to operate, and using a jump gate saves energy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jump_Gate   (822 words)

Loop jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Half loops are only done as single jumps, and are primarily used as connecting elements in a jump sequence, before a salchow jump or flip jump which take off from a back inside edge. To do a loop jump, a skater typically does a 3 turn or mohawk turn onto a left back inside edge, then reaches into the circle on the right back outside edge while drawing the left foot (still on the ice) to cross in front of the right. The loop jump should not be confused with the toe loop jump, which has significantly different mechanics and technique. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Loop_(jump)   (609 words)

Blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia One kind of early 1940s urban blues was the jump blues, a style heavily influenced by big band music and characterized by the use of the guitar in the rhythm section, a jazzy, up-tempo sound, declamatory vocals and the use of the saxophone or other brass instruments. Blues is sometimes danced as an informal type of swing dancing with no fixed patterns and a heavy focus on connection, sensuality and improvisation, often with body contact. Another important style of 1940s urban blues was boogie-woogie, a style characterized by a regular bass figure, an ostinato and the most familiar example of shifts of level, in the left hand which elaborates on each chord and trills and decorations from the right hand. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Blues   (4121 words)

Security Leak Magazine (TM) If some fault in the jump gate causes it to fail to capture an incoming starship, it is possible for the starship to have already precipitated out of jump space as a result of misjump before the fault occurred. But a jump 7 drive cannot make contact with a level-7 jump space as that is on the second tier (and tier 2 is not adjacent to tier 0). The jump gate is an enormous ring, similar to star gates described in science-fiction games and literature. www.securityleak.com /slm/issue_03/jump_gates.html   (1996 words)

Jump ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the NBA, a jump ball occurs at the start of the game (called the opening tip), the start of each period and extra period, to settle special situations where penalties cancel out and neither team is previously entitled to the ball, to settle any held balls. A jump ball is a method used to begin or resume play in basketball. Whenever such a jump ball situation occurs, the team whose opponents' basket that the possession arrow is currently pointing to gets the ball. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jump_ball   (400 words)

Hydraulics One of the founders of modern hydraulics was Benedetto Castelli, a student of Galileo Galilei. Hydraulics is a branch of science and engineering concerned with the use of liquids to perform mechanical tasks. The word "hydraulics" comes from the Greek word ὑδϱαυλικός (hydraulikos) which in turn comes from ὕδϱαυλος meaning water organ which in turn comes from ὕδωϱ (water) and αὐλός (pipe). www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/hydraulics   (400 words)
