For nearly 3000 years, Chinese artisans have made kites. How do they fly? Air moveing quickly across the surface of a kite reduces the air pressure on the kite, making it light enough to float on the current. If the air stops moving, the air pressure increases and the kite falls to the ground. This is called the Bernoulli Principle. Kites are as challenging to make as they are to fly. This kite is sure to provide hours of fun.
Supplies
• String
• Ribbon
• Paper punch
• Clear adhesive tape
• Butcher paper
• Dowel stick
• Scissors
• Markers, crayons, colored pencils etc… for decorative purposes.
How to Build the Kite
1. Sketch a symmetrical kite shape (like a diamond) on a large sheet of butcher paper, newspaper, or heavy wrapping paper with a marker.
2. With the scissors, cut out the kite. Be sure to cut a small triangular vent, also, so your kite can fly.
3. Decorate kite as desired
4. Reinforce the edges of your kite with wide adhesive tape, so it won’t tear.
5. Securely tape two thin round dowel sticks in place. One stick goes from top to bottom, the other goes from side to side on your kite. Reinforce the two points on the side flaps with more tape.
6. Decorate the dowel sticks with gift-wrap ribbons.
7. Use a paper punch to punch string holes in the kite’s side corners, about a thumb width inside the taped areas. Attach hole reinforces on both sides of the paper
8. Tie an arm-length piece of string through each of the holes punched in the corners. Tie their open ends together.
9. Attach the tie the ends of those strings to your long kite string.
Once you are finished with your kite, take outside and enjoy. Remember do not fly kites over or near electric power lines, trees, buildings, radio-TV antennae, spectators, moving traffic, within 5 miles of an airport, or more than 400 ft high.
10. Then wrap the ponytail into a really tight bun and secure with a rubber band. (See Figure 1.9)
The original design of the sled kite has two straight spars running down the kite, and a tail at each end of the spars. The pressure from the air keeps the kite open while it flies. There are many different variations of this type of kite. One-way is the over all size, but some sleds are less than 3 feet long. Extra spars are less common and rare on sled kites. A wide tail, vent holes near the bottom instead of tails, and inflatable spars. These are just a few ideas to start on. The size is a big contender for a sled kite. There was once a kite located at a Dutch Kite Festival that was over 45 feet long! The smallest kite that has been flown as a sled kite design was 1 foot long. The variation on extra spars is for it to run right down the middle of the sail, with no bridle lines attached. Non-parallel spars that were close together, and therefore the kite had a tapered look while in flight. Many people decided to use parallel spars now a days, cause the others had problems. Vent holes are a very popular add-on to the sled kite. It has a useful purpose of allowing the kite to fly without anything attached on the bottom. The vents do not work if they are falling behind the kite, and do not have the right amount of air flowing through it. We are playing on doing a sled kite with two inflatable spars with vent holes. This is a very out of the box idea, but with high risk can also come with high reward. There will be a lot of rough drafts, and many mistrials but we will figure out the aerodynamics of this.
... Kites are symbolic in the novel as it helps to support the themes of guilt, redemption and freedom in the novel. In the beginning of the story, Amir overhears Baba telling Rahim Khan that if Amir could not stand up for himself, he would never be able to stand up to anything when he becomes a man. It takes Amir over twenty years to finally muster up enough courage to stand up for himself in front of Assef. Amir takes the beatings from Assef as his punishment for what happened to Hassan. He rescues Sohrab and bonds with him through kite fighting, similar to when he flew kites with Hassan. Kites represent the freedom from the worries and burdens that Amir, Hassan and Sohrab has. It brings together the two participants in kite fighting. It gets rid of the discrimination of the ethnic caste system, any cultural differences, and also emphasizes unity amongst difference.
The other source of tension in Amir’s life is his relationship with Baba, his hard-driving and demanding father. Desperate to win his father’s affection and respect, Amir turns to the sport of kite flying, and at the age of 12, with the assistance of Hassan, he wins the annual tournament in Kabul. Amir’s victory soon is tarnished when he witnesses a vicious assault against his friend, who raced through the streets of Kabul to retrieve the last kite, Amir had sliced from the sky, and fails to come to his aid. Amir’s cowardness is compounded by a later act of betrayal that causes Ali and Hassan to leave their home, and he now faces the nightmare, bearing the burden of his poor choices for the rest of his life.
In Amir’s early childhood, kites represented happiness. Flying kites was his favorite pastime, as it was the only way that he connected fully with Baba, who was once a champion kite fighter. However, the kite takes on a different significance when Amir doesn’t stop Hassan's abusers from raping him in order to prevent the kite from being stolen. The kite serves as a symbol of Amir’s guilt throughout the novel. Hechose his fragile relationship with his father over the well-being of his best friend and half-brother: “Baba and I lived in the same ...
If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth.” (Truman).The justification of the bombs was the fact that the bomb was only in retaliation to a hostile nation and there refusal to cooperate with the American government. Japan was attacking with no fear they were unwavering because there military mind set was to never surrender because it was a sign of weakness it was against their nature. And so was the United States we were not going to give up though we were not gaining anything from this war only loosing we had the same sort of national mindset that we could to surrender for the fear of being preserved as week. So with the rejection of surrender the United States dropped the bomb in order to stop a more brutal war and to protect the United States from having to drop out of the

Amir’s development through the novel comes with the symbols of the scar from a cleft lip and the kites. The scar on Hassan’s face serves as a point of jealousy for Amir when it came to his relationship with his father. Amir’s father had tried to care for Hassan without alerting people to Hassan’s illegitimacy and Ali’s infertility, but in doing so had alienated Amir, Baba’s known son. Hassan’s scar serves as symbol of redemption, as Amir receives his own scar from defending Sohrab and finally standing up for himself.

Over the many years, since ancient Eurasia, the clip has made its way through many patents, inventors, machines, and much more. There are many different colors, sizes, forms of paper clips.
Nursing is one of the onerous and highly demanded professions in the U.S. as they work to promote good health and prevent illnesses. Registered nurses (RNs) inform patients and the public about various medical conditions; treat patients and help in their rehabilitation; and provide guidance as well as emotional support to patients' families. RNs use substantial judgement in providing a wide variety of services in our society. As other future nurses, my main source of inspiration to become a nurse comes from an intrinsic desire to help other people and care for them in times of need. I am also a person who thrives being challenged, so nursing suits me as few other careers that offer as much diversity and learning opportunities. Registered Nurses
