Virgin Galactic

The Spaceship Company (TSC) is a new aerospace production company, founded by Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group and Scaled Composites, which is building a fleet of commercial spaceships and launch aircraft with the intention of making widespread space travel a reality. TSC’s initial launch customer is Virgin Galactic, which has contracted to purchase five SpaceShipTwos and two WhiteKnightTwos. To meet Virgin Galactic’s requirements, TSC has contracted Scaled Composites to develop and build prototypes of WK2 and SS2, of which TSC started full-scale production in 2008.

SpaceShipTwo uses all the same basic technology, carbon composite construction and design as SpaceShipOne. However it is around twice as large as that vehicle and will carry six passengers and two pilots. It is 60ft long with a 90" diameter cabin which is similar in size to a Falcon 900 executive jet albeit with no floor dissecting the cabin allowing maximum room for the astronauts to float in zero gravity. Each passenger gets the same seating position with two large windows: WINDOW SIZE one side window and one overhead, so that, if you don't want to float free in space, and you'd rather just remain in your seat, you still get a great chance to see the view. No more squabbling over who has the best seat!

The spaceship can be thought of as an air launched glider with a rocket motor and a couple of extra systems for spaceflight. Just like any conventional flying machine, it requires aerodynamic forces to provide its stability and control which, clearly, it only has whilst in the atmosphere. In space it follows a purely ballistic trajectory, but here it can use small thrusters known as the reaction control system (RCS) which allow the pilots to maneuver the vehicle in space and provide a changing view for the passenger astronauts

Life of Pi

.“He ripped the flesh off the man’s frame and cracked his bones. The smell of blood filled my nose. Something in me died then that has never come back to life”

“Jesus, Mary, Muhammad and Vishnu, how good to see you Richard Parker!”

“Lord, to think that I'm a strict vegetarian. To think that when I was a child I always shuddered when I snapped open a banana because it sounded to me like the breaking of an animal's neck. I descended to a level of savagery I never imagined possible.”

Our personality can turn from good to bad based on the situation faced. Human beings have the instinct which is called as animal instinct in which this instinct will be unleashed in any certain desperate situation. This instinct is vital for their survival as this instinct tends to shape their personality to be different from their original instinct in order to survive in this situation. Survival is everything for each human as no human loves to die. Surviving in the uncivilized world needs this instinct as it becomes an important thing for us to face any challenge that encounters us. Sometime this instinct is from the dark side of human nature in which it reveals each of human bad behaviour including killing and human tends to act more like a savage rather than civilized person. The dark side of human nature will form to maintain their will to survive. Animal instinct teaches the person to retain each of hardship and provide the person a will to live although there is no other human can help the person in this circumstance. Human beings do possess animal – like instincts as these instincts will be unleashed in order for attaining their survival in the uncivilized world.

“I practised religious rituals that I adapted to the circumstances – solitary Masses without priests or consecrated Communion Hosts, darshans without murtis, and pujas with turtle meat for prasad, acts of devotion to Allah not knowing where Mecca was and getting my Arabic wrong. They brought me comfort, which is certain”

“As an aside, the story of sole survivor, Mr Piscine Molitor Patel, Indian citizen, is an astounding story of courage and endurance in the face of extraordinarily difficult and tragic circumstances.”

“Then Richard Parker, companion of my torment, awful, fierce thing that kept me alive, moved forward and disappeared forever from my life”

Hi everyone !!

          I have just completed reading chapter eight from the book, Principles of Microeconomics which is about how the government tax that affects the supply and demand curves and its impact that brings towards the larger dead weight loss of tax. It is mainly about how the tax reduces the benefit gained by both consumers and producers. Mainly the benefit gained by the consumer is called as the consumer surplus while for producer is the producer surplus. Consumer surplus means that the amount of the consumer willing to pay minus the amount of consumer paid ( benefit ).

            On the other hand, the producer surplus means the amount of producer get minus the cost of the product (benefit ). Tax ( Goods and Service Tax ) is part of the fiscal policy imposed by the federal government. Other than that, federal government has cooperated with the Bank of Canada via monetary policy by controlling the amount of money supply and the overnight rate for each commercial bank operating around Canada. This monetary policy would alter the change in the money supply-demand model, investment model, aggregate expenditure model and the supply and demand model.

Summer

Salam,

How's going?
Currently I have completed summer courses, English and Macroecons and I am still waiting for the results.
For the second semester, I have already registered for microecons as my friends told me that it would be easier than macroecons because it just deals with the households and firms and how they are going to stabilize their economy to meet the market demand.

Right after spring session, I went for a trip to Edmonton, visiting my friends and having the Tarbiyyah Village programme. From the programme, I have learnt about the text by Hassan Al- Banna entitled " Wahai Pemuda" that encourages theses young generations to realize their responsibility toward the foundation of great civilization. Then a slot by brother Salman had captured the attention of all participants in which uncovering one long hadith regarding the boy and Ashabul Ukhdud. We have been brought to the jouney of the boy on how he encountered the true religion and his spirit to bring it forward to the King Narsus. Eventually, he was reported killed by the king but his sacrifice had brought to the great impact by the conversion of great numbers of locals to the true religion and the king lastly killed all of them through his big drain that was filled by the crimson fire.

Next, we have been learning about the concept of tarbiyyah zatiyyah by akh Qayyum, the third-year student from the University of Toronto.He has told that we need to secure our relation with Allah in order to maintain as a good individual muslim. Tarbiyyah Zatiyyah is very important for our own benefit because it reflects our own deeds to the core until we realise our own purpose of life...
