<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.fulltravel.it/Travel-News/Slow-Ski-il-nuovo-trend-della-settimana-bianca/62/7-2589-1.html"><span style="font-size: large;">Slow Ski</span></a> is the new wave of skiing: an invitation to enjoy ski and snow with ease and <strong>slowness</strong>, enjoyng panoramics views and natural rhythms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Slow Ski is the praise of the winter holiday to be spent without the frenzy of downhill skiing and incredible performances. This is a new approach to skiing, more relaxing, more user-friendly: in some ski resorts have already decided to equip the paths in this direction, providing them with comfortable benches and rest areas, to admire the surrounding views and to stop to breathe </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">deeply, snow in sync with nature and embracing. The slow descent from the ski slopes is not </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">taking speed on specific routes.<br />
The trend, however, embraces more than one area and seems to know more fans of the genre: </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">it is enough to mention the slow food culture to realize that in these frenetic times, on vacation you try just relaxing and find peace.<br />
In an expression: slow ski.</span><br />

The first techniques for rapid prototyping became available in the late 1980s and were used to produce models and prototype parts. Today, they are used for a much wider range of applications and are even used to manufacture production-quality parts in relatively small numbers. Some sculptors use the technology to produce complex shapes for fine arts exhibitions.</span></div><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Consists of a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras of Argentina as well as in other locations around the world. The dance developed in response to many cultural elements, such as the crowding of the venue and even the fashions in clothing. The styles are mostly danced in either open embrace, where lead and follow have space between their bodies, or close embrace, where the lead and follow connect either chest-to-chest (Argentine tango) or in the upper thigh, hip area (American and International tango).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Music suitable for dancing ranges from about 150 bpm (beats per minute) to around 250 bpm, although most dancing is done to music somewhere between 160–220 bpm. Every Salsa composition involves complex African percussion based around the Clave Rhythm (which has four types), though there can be moments when the clave is hidden for a while, often when quoting Charanga, Changüí, and Bomba. The key instrument that provides the core groove of a salsa song is the clave. It is often played with two wooden sticks that are hit together. Every instrument in a Salsa band is either playing with the clave (generally: congas, timbales, piano, tres guitar, bongos, claves (instrument), strings) or playing independent of the clave rhythm (generally: bass, maracas, güiro, cowbell). Melodic components of the music and dancers can choose to be in clave or out of clave at any point. However it is taboo to play or dance to the wrong type of clave rhythm (see salsa music). While dancers can mark the clave rhythm directly, it is more common to do so indirectly (with, for example, a shoulder movement). This allows the dancing itself to look very fluent as if the rest of the body is just moving untouched with the legs.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.andifleming.com/slowdesign.html">Slow design</a></span> manifests itself in existing objects and spaces, in products and buildings, in real and virtual environments, and in socio-cultural experiences. Analysis of such manifestations suggests eight distinguishable themes although cross-over and hybridisation between these themes is also observed. These eight themes - ‘tradition’, ‘ritual’, ‘experiential’, ‘evolved’, ‘slowness’, ‘eco-efficiency’, ‘open source knowledge’ and ‘technology’ - contribute towards understanding the potential benefits of slow design towards individual, socio-cutural and environmental well-being. This framework provides a platform for further debate while offering a pluralistic, secular canvas for designers to encourage individual and socio-cultural change towards slowing metabolisms for a more sustainable future.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamics"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Aerodynamics</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is a branch of </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">dynamics</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object. Understanding the motion of air (often called a flow field) around an object enables the calculation of forces and moments acting on the object. A typical propertie calculated for a flow field is <strong>speed.</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aerodynamic studies are applied in various disciplines, especially to design vehicles that have to be very <strong>fast</strong>, such as airplanes, rockets, racing cars but also "ordinary" cars: since aerodynamic, a car reduces the resistance of air and, as a consequence, consumes less fuel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In many western film there are duels between cowboys, based on their speed with the gun; usually they place themselves facing one to the other at a given distance, and at a signal they shoot each other.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In Lewis Carroll's book<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice%27s_Adventures_in_Wonderland"> Alice's Advetures in Wonderland</a>, there are several passages that underline <strong>speed</strong> aspects:</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><em>"...<span style="font-family: Bembo;">Alice think it so </span><span style="font-family: Bembo-Italic;">very </span><span style="font-family: Bembo;">much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, <strong>‘Oh dear!

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also when dancing the "Caucus race" on the beach, the rhythm increases and it becomes faster:</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><em>"<span style="font-family: Bembo;">First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no ‘One, two, three, and away,’ but <strong>they began running</strong> when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out ‘The race is over!’ and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, ‘But who has won?’"</span></em></span></div><br />
