About Skydriving

Typical jump altitudes in modern times for experienced skydivers range from 7,500 to 15,000 feet (2,300 to 4,600 metres) above ground level, yielding a freefall time of between 40 and 85 seconds. The length of the freefall (the time between exiting the aircraft and deploying the parachute) is dependent upon such factors as exit altitude, opening altitude, and fall rate.
The fall rate is determined by the jumpsuit the skydiver wears and the way in which the suit conforms to the body during the freefall (a looser suit offers more resistance to the air and slows the fall) and by the diver’s body configuration relative to the ground.
Freefall speeds for skydivers falling “belly to earth” (the standard arched position) range from 110 to 130 miles per hour (180 to 210 km per hour). Descent speeds in excess of 330 mph have been recoded for those skydivers in speed skydiving competitions (in which the diver falls headfirst with the body in a streamlined position), and those as slow as 40 mph have been noted for skydivers using extended-wing “birdman” suits.
The altitude at which a parachutist opens the canopy varies, but 2,500 feet is usual. With most parachutes, the skydiver initiates deployment by throwing a pilot chute into the airstream (other parachutes have pilot chutes that are automatically released by pulling an attached cord). The pilot chute is a small chute opened by air resistance that acts to pull the main parachute out from the bag in which the parachutes are encased. The main parachute increases the skydiver’s air resistance and slows the diver’s fall to the ground to a speed of about 10 mph. Modern ram-air parachutes are made of seven to nine nylon cells that inflate and act as a wing, or glider; these canopies allow the parachutist to steer and sail gently to the ground. To maximize safety, sport skydivers wear two parachutes, one main and one reserve. This is prescribed by law in the U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations and in the aviation regulations of many other countries as well.
Additionally, skydivers use a variety of altitude-sensing devices in order to know when to deploy their parachutes.

About Together

The difference between success and failure is a great team.

When I first became an entrepreneur, in the spring of 2002, I was a consultant. I made my own hours, determined my own success, and avoided answering to a boss. But as a one-man business, I had limited potential to grow. It might be fun, or interesting, or exciting to be on your own, but a one-person business can only grow so much. Ultimately, that first business of mine failed.
Twelve years, two companies, 100 employees, and three times on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing companies later, I've learned that the only way to build a company with great success and scale is to build a great team.
No matter how smart, talented, driven, or passionate you are, your success as an entrepreneur depends on your ability to build and inspire a team. A successful leader is one who can spur his or her team members to work well together toward a common vision and goals.
To inspire your team members, you'll have to talk to them, of course. I hate meetings, but I love short (seven to 20-minute) huddles to align and motivate the team. One effective way to begin or end a huddle is by sharing a quote. Here are 15 quotes from well-known coaches, athletes, business leaders, and authors that will compel you and your team members to work well together:

About Camping

Camping tourism involves more than just setting up tents; it encompasses a range of activities such as tent pitching, campfires, hiking, mountain climbing, swimming, fishing, and cooking. Camping in Vietnam provides a unique experience, allowing travelers the freedom to immerse themselves in vast natural landscapes, listening to the symphony of rustling leaves and flowing waters, leaving behind the hustle and bustle.

The prime camping season, spanning late April to May, aligns perfectly with the post-spring rains, offering a unique experience. During this period, the park comes alive with a vibrant butterfly season, casting mesmerizing displays. Campers can also explore well-maintained trails surrounded by ancient trees and vibrant wildlife leading to impressive limestone caves, fostering a deep connection with Vietnam's untamed natural wonders.
