ROCKETS

     

Rockets are part of the very important and exciting technological advances of the modern world.             Rockets are often linked to satellites because rockets are always used to lift or transport the satellites to the space.

    The Chinese are believed to have invented the first rockets which they used as devastating weapons of war. The are described as “ arrows of flying fire” by historians.

     COMPONENT PARTS OF THE ROCKET

   A rocket is an engine or instrument that produces a grat power, more power for its size than any other kind of engine.

   A model rockets consists of the seven basic components:

a          The body tube

b          The launch lug

c           The fins

d          The engine holder

e            The rocket engine

f)            The nose cone

g           The recovery device

h         A launch system or pad to get the rocket into the air.

1.       The body tube : this is a hallow cylinder to which all the other parts are attached.

2.       The launch lug : this is a narrow tube fastened to the side of the body tube. The launch lug guides he rocket and keeps it vertical during lift off.

3.       The fins : these are attached to the bottom part of the body tube just as fins are attached to a fish. They help the rockets to travel straight during flight.

4.       The engine holder or engine mount : is a ring cemented inside the bottom of the body tube of the rocket. It is constructed in such a way that the rocket engine fits into the engine holder.

5.       Yhe rocket engine: is usually in the form of a tube and contains the solid fuel or propellant.

6.       The nose corn forms the top of a model rocket. Its tip has a rounded point that reduces the air resistance.

7.       The recovery device: is a wired to return the rocket slowly to the ground after it has reached its highest point or maximum altitude called apogee. One such device is a parachute behind the nose cone.

8.       The launch system: this consists of a launch pad and an engine ignition system with a battery.

FUNCTIONS OF ROCKETS

1.       Rockets carries astronauts to space to study the environment and the moon.

2.       Rocket carries robotic probes (i.e specialized equipment) to study othe planets

3.       Rocket carries artificial satellites such as weather, earth, communication, scientific and astronomical satellites

4.       With rockets, portable laboratories can be carried to the space to carry out some scientific researches which are impossible on earth surface.

How to Cope With 16/32gb Storage on High End Phones

It’s such a pity that some high end phones still come with 16/32GB of mobile storagein this 21st century. For one reason or the other, a lot of OEMs release phones with such low memory capacity and one can only wonder if such storage can ever be enough. But let me tell you this, it simply can’t be.

My WhatsApp alone takes a space of 3.58GB, I take photos a lot (about 2GB dedicated to that); a casual video at 720p can take 2GB of storage, and let’s not even discuss that of 1080p FHD videos and other storage-eating activities happening on our devices.

Games can also take close to 5GB of storage or more, so the fact is simple–16GB or even 32GB will never be enough in this modern age where we are mostly addicted to phones and most of our devices have been replaced by handheld mobile phones.

Without much ado, let me provide simple ways in which you can manage 16/32gb on your devices, some of which may not even have memory card slots.

1. Get an External Memory Stick

If you’re into memory cards, getting one will give you more space to work with on your phone. However, you have to be careful in selecting an MMC as there are many counterfeits on the market.

There are memory cards of 32gb, 64gb, 128gb, and even up to 2 terabytes! With this, you easily extend your memory space. However, you should know the maximum external storage capacity your phone supports before buying one.

2. Use the Cloud

Talking about everywhere you go , that’s exactly what the cloud is. Instead of storing your files on phone, you can easily put them in the cloud. This way,  you get to access them on all possible devices with internet.

Cloud services like Dropbox, OneDrive, Flickr, and so on can come handy. You can as well upgrade to premium cloud services with higher storage options

3. Reduce Photo Pixels

Unless you’re a professional photographer, 8MP is enough to take sharp photos. The higher the pixels the higher the photo size which is why it won’t be a bad idea to reduce pixels. After all, it won’t make much difference for casual photos.

4. Reduce Video Resolutions

When taking videos for phones and not for professional use, you don’t need to use 1080p or 4k resolution . Most of the best video players on Android won’t even play videos of 4k resolution. On good cameras, 720p is clear enough for mobile use. This can save you some space.

5. Use USB OTG

USB on-the-go is a good choice for those phones with no memory card slot. You can easily move videos and other media files around on portable USB. Often underutilized, they are the best to take with you. You can as well use multiple flash drives.

Managing a small storage is never easy and nowadays 16GB is not enough. Even 32gb is no longer enough, we may only try to manage them.

Cell Phone Technology Increases Cancer Risk

A team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States, made the decision after reviewing peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety. The team found enough evidence to categorize personal exposure as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
What that means is they found some evidence of increase in glioma and acoustic neuroma brain cancer for mobile phone users, but have not been able to draw conclusions for other types of cancers

The type of radiation coming out of a cell phone is called non-ionizing. It is not like an X-ray, but more like a very low-powered microwave oven.

"What microwave radiation does in most simplistic terms is similar to what happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain," Black said. "So in addition to leading to a development of cancer and tumors, there could be a whole host of other effects like cognitive memory function, since the memory temporal lobes are where we hold our cell phones."

 Hot Coffee Can also Cause Cancer

Wireless industry responded to Tuesday's announcement saying it "does not mean cell phones cause cancer." CTIA-The Wireless Association added that WHO researchers "did not conduct any new research, but rather reviewed published studies."

The European Environmental Agency has pushed for more studies, saying cell phones could be as big a public health risk as smoking, asbestos and leaded gasoline. The head of a prominent cancer-research institute at the University of Pittsburgh sent a memo to all employees urging them to limit cell phone use because of a possible risk of cancer.

"When you look at cancer development -- particularly brain cancer -- it takes a long time to develop. I think it is a good idea to give the public some sort of warning that long-term exposure to radiation from your cell phone could possibly cause cancer," said Dr. Henry Lai, research professor in bioengineering at University of Washington who has studied radiation for more than 30 years.

Results from the largest international study on cell phones and cancer was released in 2010. It showed participants in the study who used a cell phone for 10 years or more had doubled the rate of brain glioma, a type of tumor. To date, there have been no long-term studies on the effects of cell phone usage among children.

"Children's skulls and scalps are thinner. So the radiation can penetrate deeper into the brain of children and young adults. Their cells are at a dividing faster rate, so the impact of radiation can be much larger." said Black of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

How To Tell Your Kids When A Loved One Has Been Diagnosed With Cancer

In February, a study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, revealed radiation emitted after just 50 minutes on a mobile phone increases the activity in brain cells. The effects of brain activity being artificially stimulated are still unknown.

Neurosurgeon and CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta says Tuesday's announcement, "dealt a blow to those who have long said, 'There is no possible mechanism for cell phones to cause cancer.' By classifying cell phones as a possible carcinogen, they also seem to be tacitly admitting a mechanism could exist."

Manufacturers of many popular cell phones already warn consumers to keep their device away from their body and medical experts say there other ways to minimize cell phone radiation.

The Apple iPhone 4 safety manual says users' radiation exposure should not exceed FCC guidelines: "When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 millimeters (5/8 inch) away from the body."

BlackBerry Bold advises users to "keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 inch (25 millimeters) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting."

The logic behind such recommendations is that the further the phone is from the body, the less radiation is absorbed. Users can also use the speakerphone function or a wired earpiece to gain some distance.
Users can text instead of talk if they want to keep the phone away from their faces.

Finally, cell phones emit the most radiation when they are attempting to connect to cellular towers. A moving phone, or a phone in an area with a weak signal, has to work harder, giving of more radiation. So users can avoid using their cell phones in elevators, buildings and rural areas if they want to reduce their exposure, experts say.

How to Unlock Your iOS 10 Device With a Single Click (Like in iOS 9)

n iOS 10, Apple made a small but fundamental change to the way touch ID users unlock their phone phone. If you’re tired of seeing “Press home to open” or “Press home to unlock” every time to you grab your phone, here’s how to switch it back to the way it was in iOS 9.

How Touch ID Changed (and Why)

When using an iOS 9 device with the Touch ID fingerprint recognition feature, you could simply press the home button on your device and it would wake and unlock the device in one clean swoop. Finger to home button, click, unlocked.

The lock screen itself and the unlocking process both got a big makeover with iOS 10. The most obvious change is the death of the slide-to-unlock feature. On prior versions of iOS–going all the back to the early days (long before finger print recognition)–you swiped right to unlock your phone (and put in a passcode if you used one). Even when Touch ID was introduced, the swipe-to-unlock feature remained.

In iOS 10, however, if you swipe right you don’t unlock the phone. Instead, swiping will pull up the camera. If you swipe left, you’ll pull up the lock screen widgets. In addition, the Touch ID unlock flow was tweaked slightly so that pressing on the home button still activates the screen and unlocks the device, but it doesn’t return you to where you left off (e.g. the home screen page you were on or the app you were using). Instead the device unlocks and sits on the lock screen. If you want to return to where you were, à la iOS 9, you have to then click one more time.

That sounds entirely pointless, right? Well, in fairness to Apple, there is actually a benefit to their new method. When an iOS device is unlocked, the apps on the device have access to encrypted data. If you use the default iOS 10 Touch ID unlock method, this means that when you swipe right to open the camera, the camera isn’t in tourist mode but has full access to your photo library. It also paves the way for Apple to allow other apps to appear on the lock screen system and access encrypted data.

While that sounds nice and all, we don’t need that feature, and so far this is the most annoying change in iOS 10. With that in mind, let’s change it back.

(Obviously, if you don’t have a phone with a Touch ID-enabled home button, this isn’t nearly as annoying a change–it just means you’ll have to press the home button a second time instead of swiping to unlock. The below guide is intended for Touch ID Users only.)

Change the iOS 10 Touch ID Behavior Back to iOS 9’s

Changing the behavior of the Touch ID unlock is trivial if you know where to look. To change the functionality back to the iOS 9 style you’re familiar with, simply launch the Settings app.

Navigate in the Settings menu to the “General” entry and select it.

Scroll down a ways until you see the entry for “Accessibility”. Select it.

In the Accessibility menu, again, scroll quite a bit until you see the entry for “Home Button” and select it.

In the Home Button menu you’ll find an entry, turned off by default in iOS 10, labeled “Rest Finger to Unlock”. Toggle it on, as seen below.

You can now press the Home button and, with a single press, both awake and unlock your iOS device.

While we can appreciate why Apple made the change (to facilitate access to secure apps from the lock screen), we also appreciate they left a method in to go back to the iOS 9 way of doing things.

How to Stop YouTube from Automatically Playing Videos on iOS, Android, and the Web

Over at YouTube, they love it when you watch more YouTube. If you’re sick of YouTube automatically queuing up more videos for you, however, it’s easy enough to turn the autoplay feature off and go back to watching your videos at your own pace.

On both desktop and mobile platforms, YouTube will automatically play a suggested “Up Next” queue if you don’t intervene–as seen in the screenshot above where a clip from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver automatically plays when the previous one completes.

While, fortunately, turning off autoplay is pretty easy, unfortunately, the option is not linked to yourGoogle account, so you’ll need to toggle the setting on every device you use. Let’s take a look at how to do so now.

Turning Off Autoplay On YouTube’s iOS and Android Apps

The method for turning off autoplay on iOS, Android, and other mobile YouTube incarnations is pretty straightforward because the toggle itself is, relatively, front and center. To disable the function, simply load a video, then look for the “Autoplay” toggle, as highlighted in the image below. The toggle looks the same and is located in the same place on both iOS and Android.

If you do not see this toggle on your mobile YouTube app, then the app most likely needs to be updated. In one rare case on one of our devices, we didn’t see the toggle until we completely uninstalled the app (despite updating it) and then reinstalled it.

As a small aside for readers who found their way to this article searching for a way to halt autoplaying video on the Apple TV (which uses the YouTube App for tvOS, a branch of iOS)–you won’t find an on-screen toggle like you do with the mobile apps, but you can turn autoplay off by launching the YouTube app on your Apple TV and looking in Settings > Autoplay.

Turning Off Autoplay on The YouTube Website

Just like the mobile applications, there is a toggle on the browser-based version of YouTube, albeit not quite as prominent. In the screenshot below you can see the video we’re watching plus the long list of “Up Next” videos that will keep playing if we don’t intervene.

If you look closely at the upper right corner of the “Up Next” queue, you’ll see the toggle.

Flip it off and the “Up Next” queue just becomes a suggested playlist and not an unending rotation of videos.

That’s all there is to it–flip the autoplay toggle across all the devices you use YouTube on and the annoyance of autoplaying videos vanishes.

How to Change the Size of Text, Icons, and More in Android Nougat

Android has long allowed you to change the text size, but for some users, it’s just not enough. With Android Nougat, Google incorporated a new feature: the ability to not only change font size, but also other display elements.

Essentially, this means everything from the navigation bar to app icons and menus can be made bigger or smaller—think of it like changing the zoom level in Microsoft Windows. For those who want to see more information on the screen, everything can be made smaller. For those who may have limited vision, every element can be made larger, with the largest setting offering a very dramatic change from the stock size.

To access this new feature, the first thing you’ll need to do is get into Android’s settings menu. Pull down the notification shade, then pull it a second time to expose the Quick Settings menu. Tap the cog icon in the upper right corner.

From here, scroll down and find the “Display” section. Tap it.

Just below the “Font size” setting, there’s an option called “Display size.” This is what you’re looking for.

After tapping it, there may be a slight delay while the phone loads the Display Size menu, which is broken down into two parts: the Preview window and actually Display Size slider. There are three different views in the Preview Pane: a text message, app icons, and settings menu. These are all dummy windows, of course, and are just there so you can get a better idea of what on-screen elements will look like once the change is activated. Swipe through these previews to cycle through them.

You can adjust the display size by using the plus and minus buttons on either side of the slider—there’s only one option smaller than the default setting, but three larger options. Mess with them all, see which one works best for you. The changes happen in real time, so you’ll instantly know how it’s going to look.

Once you’ve settled on a size, just hit the back button in the upper-left corner. The new sizing will go into effect immediately without the need for a reboot, and you’re done. If you ever want to change it back, simply jump back into the Display Size menu and tweak away.

---

This is an excellent new feature, especially for users with limited vision. With Nougat, users aren’t as tied down to a small subset of handsets that cater to such disabilities, and as Nougat gains adoption, the choices are only going to get better.
