One-day visitors took a chartered flight to the remote country side area of Kenya, they were a amazed to see tall lean and decorated man holding a spear in one hand with his red cloth wrapped around his waist. “Who are those people? They asked” it was all over at last, the handsome looking Masai.

The Masai are warrior tribe in Kenya who lives center around herding cattle. The believe The creator entrusted his cattle to them; consequently, their wealth is measured by the number of animals they have in their homes. The heads of most women have been decorated by breads as they spend most of their time doing bead work. They decorate animal hides, gourds and make beaded jewellery’s for the arms, leg bracelets and amulets. This tribe have created a tourist attraction in the most scenic areas of Masai Mara National Reserve offering wonderful scenery and plenty of game. It’s therefore the only region in Kenya where the visitors may see animals in its abundances as centuries ago.

The Masai Mara National Reserve simply known “The Mara” which word means “Mottled” – a reference to the patchy landscape, both spellings “Masai” and “Masai” are acceptable although the latter is more usual when referring to the people; The Masai Mara is a Game Reserve (sometimes called a National Reserve) although the area in the reserve is called the National Park. Reserves are normally managed by local authorities and allow lodges, camp sites and the settling of this tribe with their cattle. National Parks are normally managed centrally and do not allow any human inhabitation other than for Park Rangers and people on safari.

The Location of this reserve has created the general location of animal communities depends on the habitat. Vegetation varies according to the type of soil and drainage but is also influenced by fire, rain and grazing animals (including destructive elephants). “Grassland” is most common, especially in areas of poor drainage, frequent fires or heavy grazing – supporting a wide range of herbivores which all prefer different grasses and shoots. “Bushland” is particularly vulnerable to fire and foraging elephants – the favorite place of rhino. “Woodland” is often populated with acacia trees (with rich edible leaves) – where you might find monkey and giraffe. The Rivers are home of hippo and crocodile.

At the heart of these lands is the Masai Mara Game Reserve, widely considered to be Africa’s greatest wildlife reserve. The Mara comprises 200 sq miles of open plains, woodlands and reverie forest. Contiguous with the plains of the Serengeti, the Mara is home to a breathtaking array of life. The vast grassland plains are scattered with herds of Zebra, Giraffe, Gazelle, and Topi. The Acacia forests abound with Bird life and Monkeys. Elephants and Buffalo wallow in the wide Musiara Swamp. The Mara and Talek rivers are brimming with Hippos and Crocodiles.

Every year this park plays a very great and interesting to world’s greatest natural spectacle, of the Wildebeest Migration from Serengeti in the month of July to October; this is in the search of green grass in the north bringing more than 1.3 million Wildebeest together into a single massive herd. They pour across the border into the Mara, making a spectacular entrance in a surging column of life that stretches from horizon. They cross the river after massing in number on a waiting crocodiles of the Mara River as they move forward creating frenzy fight against the swift currents.

This park is called the Kingdom of Lion which is always on hunt dominating the others in the grasslands. Cheetahs are some of the common sights in the Mara, as well as Hyena and smaller predators such as Jackals. This animals share the hunt with the Masai’s who also happen to be searching for the same for their meat.

The Mara reserve is an Ideal place for game drives, game walks, and balloon safaris with good range of accommodation facilities for the tourist ranging from high class to budget friendly.

How Does a Magnetic Speed Sensor Work http://balashiha.su/?p=4667 http://balashiha.su/?p=4667#respond Tue, 28 Dec 2010 19:38:49 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=4667 How Does a Magnetic Speed Sensor Work

For centuries speed sensors have been used to determine the speed of moving objects. In fact, the very first primitive speed sensors were lengths of rope with a knots tied in them that were tossed over the sides of moving ships to determine how many “knots” the ship was traveling at. However; the advent of the motorized wheeled carriage created the need for a more advanced mechanical speed sensor, such as the type that used a gear and a cable to run a speedometer on an automobile.

A Technological Need

As time and technology progressed however, the need for other types of accurate speed sensors developed. This in turn led to the development of what is often referred to as the magnetic speed sensor. So how do they work? How can a magnet detect and transmit the speed of a moving object?

The Hall Effect

It is not just the magnet in a magnetic speed sensor that is used to determine speed but an electrical current that surrounds the magnet as well. There is a certain electrical phenomena called the “Hall effect” that is used to determine the speed of an object with a magnet.

An Electrical Current

In short, when an electrical current is ran near a magnet and the magnet detects ferrous metal such as iron or steel the electrical current is effected. This electrical effect can then be transmitted by wires to a speed gage where it can be displayed.

Gear Toothed Magnetic Sensor

Often a gear is used in conjunction with a magnetic speed sensor. As the gear spins or turns, each spline or tooth in it will be detected by the magnet as it passes and a corresponding electrical pulse is sent out. The faster the gear spins the faster the electrical pulses the sensor sends and thus a speed reading is made.

What Is The Rescission Period For Your Timeshare http://balashiha.su/?p=10563 http://balashiha.su/?p=10563#respond Sun, 05 Dec 2010 14:49:56 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=10563 What Is The Rescission Period For Your Timeshare?

The rescission period of your timeshare typically refers to the period of time after you’ve purchased a timeshare property during which the purchaser has the right to cancel their agreement without penalty. The enactment of rescission periods protects consumers who may have purchased a timeshare unwillingly due to high pressure sales techniques.

Rescission period is a fancy way of saying cancellation or “cooling off” period.  Every timeshare contract includes information regarding your rights to rescind, or cancel, your contract, within a designated time frame known as a rescission period. This time frame varies from state to state and country to country, but it is still policy that should a buyer decide to cancel their agreement within the predetermined rescission period, that person is entitled to a full refund on the amount deposited.

The actual rescission period may vary from state to state, and resort to resort. In the United States, the recession is known to be anywhere between 5 days and 2-3 weeks though in some states it can be as short as 3 days. Mexico practices a universal 5 day rescission period even if it’s not explicitly stated in the contract. The recession period in the United Kingdom is usually 14 days, but anywhere else in Europe, it’s 10 days.

If you recently made an impulse purchase on a timeshare, then you may want to consider getting out of your timeshare while you still can and before it’s too late; you must act fast. It is highly recommended that you get a lawyer involved and have him/her review any legally binding agreements you might have to ensure that you’re not stepping over anyone’s toes.

Timeshare owners who decide well after the rescission period that they don’t want their timeshare anymore usually try to sell their timeshare or utilize a timeshare transfer service to get out of their timeshare contract and the financial responsibilities that come with it.
