Acceleration, in physics, corresponds to the force applied to something that causes it to change its position or speed. It is the force you feel when a car accelerates from a stop sign, pushing you back into the car seat (it's a horizontal force). Similarly, when an elevator starts moving, you feel more weight on your legs (it's a vertical force). When a roller coaster car makes a hairpin turn, the acceleration may push you to the side, or up or down.

Nothing. Many people have said it stands for "garbage." But it officially doesn't stand for anything at all.

PlyoCity strives to keep our program affordable for everyone. Team training costs vary depending on the number of athletes training per session. Individuals may train with other teams or as a part of a program like open gym. Typically team rates range from $4 to $6 per session, or $35 to $50 per month, per athlete. Typical Acceleration Programs: Minimum Commitment: $400.00 for six week program at two-three sessions per week. Averages over $30 per session.

Anno Societatis, or Year of the Society, counted from May 1, 1966 CE.

While this picture is based upon a true story, some characters were composited or invented, and a number of events fictionalized. The final scene of the movie was one of those somewhat fictionalized scenes. In real life, almost one year after Andy's death, Bob Zmuda dressed up as Tony Clifton and hosted a show at The Comedy Store. The show raised money for cancer research in Andy's memory and became the catalyst for Zmuda's "Comic Relief" charity fundraisers.

Acceleration is defined as how quickly an object changes its velocity; that is, the change of velocity divided by the change of time (the difference in time over which the velocity changed). There are three methods of acceleration: speeding up (accelerating), slowing down (decelerating), and turning (changing direction).

These sensors both have their strengths and weaknesses. While an accelerometer is great at determining apogee, it isn't very good at telling you how high that happens to be, and low-altitude determination for two-stage deployment is extremely difficult, if not practically impossible. A barometric sensor, on the other hand, is great at sensing altitude, OK for apogee detection, and lousy for things like burnout detection. Read this for more details.

The Netscape Internet Service web accelerator speeds up your Internet access by compressing images and text on web pages before they are sent to your phone line. The compressed data travels over your phone line faster because there is less of it. Netscape Accelerated Internet Service also stores elements of frequently visited web sites so that they load faster on future visits. There is no additional equipment to install nor is there any additional configuration of your modem necessary.

ODEP stands for Output Device Emulator Protection. ODEP is an analog computer simulation of the output device thermal impedance. In layman's terms ODEP stores how much power the amplifier delivers to its load and its heatsink temperature. If the protection circuit determines that the output stage is being overstressed or cannot dissipate any further heat, then output stage drive is limited (Also see the FAQ, "What is TLC?" below).

IBLA is the name of the ancient Baroque quarters of Ragusa - Ibla, the southernmost province of Italy in Sicily. Ragusa and Ibla are two sister cities built on two 300 m. hills. Ibla is the ancient city and Ragusa is the more modern one. The Monti Iblei that surround the area take the name from the ancient Ibla. The Mediterrenean coast line is only 18 minutes away. It overlooks the island of Malta. The closest airport is Catania Fontanarossa Airport, 2 hours away.

NAMI, the Nation's Voice on Mental Illness was founded in 1979 as the National Alliance on Mental Illness. "NAMI" was officially made our corporate name in 1997, after a vote of the membership. This was done after years of discussion that the full name was not person-first language and perpetuated the very stigma we hope to erase.

NORML is a nonprofit, public-interest lobby that for more than 30 years has provided a voice for those Americans who oppose marijuana prohibition. We represent the interests of the tens of millions of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly and believe the recreational and medicinal use of marijuana should no longer be a crime.

RIMYI is an abbreviation for Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute. Ramamani was the name of BKS Iyengar's wife. She died in 1973.

UMF stands for "Unique Manuka Factor", and is the trademark for the special antibacterial property found in Manuka Honey. When honey is diluted, a special enzyme the bees have added produces hydrogen peroxide, a well known antibiotic. Manuka Honey has been found to have an antibacterial activity in addition to hydrogen peroxide. No one has so far discovered the substance involved, so it is called UMF.
