How to buy best certified diamond?

To make surprise for your loved ones, you plan to buy diamond engagement rings, the most important thing to consider is to check if the diamond is certified diamond or not. Always it is better advised to buy diamond from a certified diamonds dealer. This is because the diamonds that you buy from certified dealers would have authenticity and are certified to be what they claim. Hence you can be assured about the purchase. The certification is relatively important as most of the people cannot judge if the diamond is real or fake. First and foremost, it gives an assurance that the diamond has been inspected and certified by one of the reliable diamond laboratories.

There are five diamond grading labs which are popular. They are HRD, EGL, GIA, AGS, and IGI. The certificate given by these labs ensure that the characteristics of the diamond like cut, carat, color and clarity are authentic and have been defined on the certificate after proper inspection. Hence the price of the certified diamonds would be more but it will increase the confidence of the buyers. The diamond certification is generally given by AGS and GIA in the United States. They are considered as reliable sources since they are leading the industry. This diamonds are more expensive than the competitors like IGI and EGL certified diamonds. www.novori.com is the right place to buy certified diamonds cheap and better. The certified loose diamonds gives credibility to the stone while it is purchased. The selling the diamond is also made easy if you have a certificate.

Amazing NASA Future Aircraft Designs

Amazing World Atlas: The Amazing NASA future aircraft designs are eco friendly planes have been named greener flying machines for year 2025.

The computer rendering shows AMELIA which is called as Advanced Model for Extreme Lift and Improved Aeroacoustics a possible future hybrid wing body type subsonic vehicle with short takeoff and landing capabilities. Produced through a three year NASA Research Announcement grant with California Polytechnic State Institute, AMELIA' ability for steeper ascents and descents could reduce community noise levels on takeoff and landing. A model of this configuration is scheduled for testing in a NASA wind tunnel in the fall of 2011.

Boeings advanced vehicle concept centers around familiar blended wing body design like X-48. What makes this design different is placement of its Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines on top of planes back end, flanked by two vertical tails to shield people on the ground from engine noise. The design also uses other technologies to reduce noise and drag and long span wings to improve fuel efficiency. This design is among those presented to NASA at end of 2011 by companies that conducted NASA funded studies into aircraft that could enter service in 2025.

The double bubble D8 Series future aircraft design concept comes from research team led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Based on modified tube and wing with very wide fuselage to provide extra lift, its low sweep wing reduces drag and weight embedded engines sit aft of wings. The D8 series aircraft would be used for domestic flights and is designed to fly at Mach 0.74 carrying 180 passengers 3,000 nautical miles in a coach cabin roomier than that of a Boeing 737-800. The D8 is among designs presented in April 2010 to  NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate for its NASA Research Announcement funded studies into advanced aircraft that could enter service in the 2030-2035 timeframe.

 The computer generated image shows possible future flying wing aircraft very efficiently and quietly in flight over populated areas. This kind of design, produced by Northrop Grumman, would most likely carry cargo at first and then also carry passengers. This design is among those presented to NASA at end of 2011 by companies that conducted NASA funded studies into aircraft that could enter service in 2025. 

The future aircraft design concept for supersonic flight over land comes from team led by Lockheed Martin Corporation. The team used simulation tools to show it was possible to achieve over-land flight by dramatically lowering the level of sonic booms through the use of an "inverted-V" engine under wing configuration. The revolutionary technologies help achieve range, payload and environmental goals. This concept is one of two designs presented in April 2010 to NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate for its NASA Research Announcement-funded studies into advanced supersonic cruise aircraft that could enter service in the 2030-2035 timeframe. 

Our ability to fly at supersonic speeds over land in civil aircraft depends on our ability to reduce level of sonic booms. NASA has been exploring variety of options for quieting boom, starting with design concepts and moving through wind tunnel tests to flight tests of new technologies.

The Icon-II future aircraft design concept for supersonic flight over land comes from the team led by The Boeing Company. A design that achieves fuel burn reduction and airport noise goals, it also achieves large reductions in sonic boom noise levels that will meet the target level required to make supersonic flight over land possible. This concept is one of two designs presented in April 2010 to the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate for its NASA Research Announcement-funded studies into advanced supersonic cruise aircraft that could enter service in the 2030-2035 timeframe.

  

Lockheed Martins advanced vehicle concept proposes box wing design which is now feasible thanks to modern lightweight composite nonmetallic materials, landing gear technologies and other advancements. Its Rolls Royce Liberty Works Ultra Fan Engine achieves a bypass ratio nearly five times greater than current engines, pushing the limits of turbofan technology to maximize efficiency. This design is among those presented to NASA at the end of 2011 by companies that conducted NASA-funded studies into aircraft that could enter service in 2025.

Northrop Grummans concept is based on extremely aerodynamic flying wing design. The four Rolls Royce engines are embedded in upper surface of wing to achieve maximum noise shielding. The company used its expertise in building military planes without stabilizing tail to propose this design for commercial aviation market. This design is among those presented to NASA at end of 2011 by companies that conducted NASA funded studies into aircraft that could enter service in 2025.

The Silent Efficient Low Emissions Commercial Transport, or SELECT, future aircraft design comes from the research team led by Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. Deceptively conventional-looking, concept features advanced lightweight ceramic composite materials and nanotechnology and shape memory alloys. In addition to being energy efficient and environmentally friendly, SELECT improves capacity of future air transportation system which can be used at smaller airports and make them more effective. It is designed to fly at Mach 0.75 carrying 120 passengers 1,600 nautical miles. The SELECT is among designs presented in April 2010 to the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate for its NASA Research Announcement-funded studies into advanced aircraft that could enter service in the 2030-2035 timeframe.

Online Algebra I Class Can improve Rural Students Access, Skills

Algebra apps
: With Algebra I regularly seen as a gateway course, online algebra classes can bridge the opening for rural students who are prepared for advanced math but whose schools need the resources for a formal class, according to the first federal longitudinal study of online algebra instruction.



The study, released today by the local Educational Laboratory Northeast and Islands, finds that 8th graders taking a virtual algebra course performed better in algebra test and were nearly twice as likely to take exact math courses by 10th grade as students who only had access to general 8th grade math.



Researchers tracked the
Math Apps and course taking trends of 1,885 students from 68 overwhelmingly rural schools in Maine and Vermont.



Each school recognized students prepared to take algebra in 8th grade during the 2008-09 school year, and then was randomly assigned to also have those students participate in a Class.com online Algebra I class or go through the normal hodgepodge of 8th grade math knowledge, a middle school course including some algebra topics, dual enrollment in a high school algebra class, or even analysis an algebra book on their own at the back of the room.



Moreover, by the end of 9th grade, researchers set up the students who had taken Algebra 2 online
in 8th grade were almost twice as likely to be taking a rigorous math track, including geometry and Algebra II by 10th grade.



Students who had not had right of entry to the online course, by contrast, were more likely to be doubling up on math classes in an attempt to catch up.
"We know the importance of providing Algebra I to eighth graders who are prepared to take the course," said Armando Vilaseca.
