The Australian tiger beetle, Cicindela eburneola, is one of the fastest running insects in the world relative to body size, which has been recorded at 6.8 km/h (4.2 mph) or 171 body lengths per second.

The frigatebird's high speed is helped by its having the largest wing-area-to-body-weight ratio of any bird. It has been claimed to have the fastest horizontal speed (as opposed to stoop diving speed) of any animal. Īssuming the maximum size at 58 cm, its relative speed clocks at 186 body lengths per second during its hunting swoop, the equivalent of a human running at 170 m/s (560 ft/s).Īssuming the maximum size at 1.02 m, its relative speed clocks at 66–87 body lengths per second, the equivalent of a human running at 60–80 m/s (197–262 ft/s). While stooping, the peregrine falcon soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 320 km/h (200 mph). The peregrine achieves its highest velocity not in horizontal level flight, but during its characteristic hunting stoop (vertical flight). The peregrine falcon is the fastest aerial animal, fastest animal in flight, fastest bird, and the overall fastest member of the animal kingdom. The cheetah, the fastest land mammal, scores at only 16 body lengths per second, while Anna's hummingbird has the highest known length-specific velocity attained by any vertebrate. macropalpis is far in excess of the previous record holder, the Australian tiger beetle Cicindela eburneola, which is the fastest insect in the world relative to body size, with a recorded speed of 1.86 metres per second (6.7 km/h 4.2 mph), or 171 body lengths per second. The equivalent speed for a human, running as fast as this mite, would be 1,300 mph (2,092 km/h). On this basis the 'fastest' organism on earth, relative to its body length, is the Southern Californian mite, Paratarsotomus macropalpis, which has a speed of 322 body lengths per second. When drawing comparisons between different classes of animals, an alternative unit is sometimes used for organisms: body length per second. Among the fastest animals in the sea is the black marlin, with uncertain and conflicting reports of recorded speeds. The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird, and the fastest member of the animal kingdom, with a diving speed of 389 km/h (242 mph).

Add the dimension of a sharp lateral break accompanied by a downward bite and you have a devil of a pitch. Keeping the ball low increases its velocity by as much as 3 mph. Pronation of hand with the index finger coming down on the inside of the ball, turning the ball over. Good hand speed, with an acceleration at the release point.ĥ. A tight hard spin provides the bite (sharpness of break) to the ball.Ĥ. Spin is mainly in the 8 to 2 direction approaching 9 to 3.ģ. Three-quarter or three-quarter minus is the preferred arm slot, though some pitchers can throw it with a higher (three-quarter plus) arm slot.Ģ. Qualities and requirements of the power sinker would include:ġ. It is a low pitch, but because it is thrown extremely hard (90's mph), it can be both a ground-ball and strikeout pitch. Kevin Brown of the Dodgers is the prototype power-sinker pitcher. Unfortunately, few pitchers can throw it effectively. It seriously fragments the frequency of home runs. The hard or power sinker is a marvelous pitch. The artistry lies in making use of gravity, getting a good rotation, and mastering stride length. The power sinker is a great low-pitching option for anyone who can master it. The lower strike zone has truly stimulated the development of this pitch. Since umpires have reduced the high strike to a nonentity, "everything low" becomes an extremely viable style of pitching. For whatever the reason (tighter wound balls, shorter fences, fewer developed four-seam fastballs, tighter strike zones, and souped-up bats), one has to pitch low in order to be effective.ĭelivering a four-seam fastball high and without a lot of action can be dangerous. Keeping the batters from hitting the long ball is a form of survival pitching. Double plays (the essence of defensive efficiency) are the precious gifts of the low-ball pitcher. Gravity adds to both the velocity and movement of the pitch.Ħ. The action on the ball (veer and sink) is heightened when the pitch is low.ĥ. The low ball is more likely to be hit on the ground and less likely to be hit for distance.Ĥ. On a high pitch, the batter will see the whole ball.ģ. The hitter can see only the top half of the ball. Most low fastballs are 1-2 mph faster than the pitcher's high fastball cousins. Most pitchers will achieve greater success by keeping the ball in the lower part or even just out of the strike zone.ġ. The classic example will be the power pitchers (like Nolan Ryan) who can retain their velocity and continue pitching upstairs as they age. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I AM certain about in pitching, it is that the farther up in the game you go, the more successful you can be by keeping your pitches low. MLA style: "Keep the Pitch Low."

It doesn’t really matter which particular strategy you employ to make it past the post-lunch dip. Reid says.Īssuming you can’t suddenly become, like, the Maharishi of sleep and obliterate the post-lunch dip altogether, you’ll have to settle for making daytime sleepiness suck less. “If I sleep poorly tonight, and I sleep decent the next night, I still may not have caught up from that prior bad night,” Dr. Van Dongen says, “and it’s an illusion that we can really accomplish that in today’s society.” Even getting a few nights of good sleep probably isn’t enough to cure your exhaustion. But “nobody has the time to really do that,” Dr. ![]() The best way to eliminate the dip is to consistently get a great night’s sleep, ideally every night. And then you experience that post-lunch dip.” And so as you go from the morning into the afternoon, you’ve got just ever so slightly-but noticeably-some pressure for sleep from the homeostatic system that the circadian clock, the biological clock, hasn’t caught up with yet. “The buildup of the pressure for sleep runs a little ahead of when the biological clock is kicking in enough pressure to counteract it. “That biological clock and that homeostatic process don’t really align as carefully as they did when you were fully rested,” Dr. The result of that lack of sleep? The post-lunch dip. But when you don’t get enough sleep, the system gets out of whack. ![]() When you’re truly well rested-say, you’ve gotten seven-plus hours of sleep every night for a week, at about the same time each night, and woken up around the same time each day-your homeostatic drive and your biological clock work perfectly in tandem, your energy levels are normal, and you don’t experience the post-lunch dip. “But that’s actually not likely the cause at all.” The real explanation behind the most common cause is rooted in two biological phenomena, which you can think of, essentially, as two little machines whirring away inside your body: your homeostatic sleep drive, and your circadian rhythm. “For the longest time, we thought it was food-related,” Dr. Why do I suddenly feel major tiredness in the afternoon?Īs it turns out, the “post-lunch dip” is a bit of a misnomer. If you, too, regularly get overwhelmed by afternoon grogginess, take heart: There are solutions to our terrible, no-good, very bad problem. To get a better understanding of where my sudden-onset tiredness comes from, and for a few tips on banishing it from my life forever, I called up two experts on the science of sleep: Hans Van Dongen, PhD, the director of the Sleep and Performance Research Center at Washington State University and Kathryn Reid, PhD, a research professor of neurology at Northwestern Medicine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Or just use your mouse to pick up the color you want.

Now the outside of this lens, you’re going to find a switch that allows you to switch this thing back and forth between manual and autofocus, which I think is a nice add-on, especially at this price point. On top of that, this lens will also have high-speed autofocus with its native Sony lens, it will work great in autofocus for both photos and video.Īnd we saw this thing shining a lot, especially in the photos using high autofocus. I did the entire shoot using this one lens, trying out some full-body and close-up shots, and realistically, I am blown away with what you can get for a lens at sub $600.Īs I mentioned, this lens shoots at 1.8, giving you a unique shallow depth of field. I’ve been shooting tons of videos for this, along with tons of photos.Īnd recently took it out on a photo shoot to put it through its paces. This lens has been in my kit for a couple of months now, and I love it. Honestly, this is a fantastic lens that I think almost every Sony shooter should probably go ahead and pick up and add to their kit. I love that amazing lens, and it’s at an excellent price.
