Instead of a word-based association game, what about a numerical association game? Begin by making a statement using the number immediately following the one listed in the current listed post. Either the raw number form (i.e., three) or the ordinal version could be used (i.e., twenty-third). For example: Post:One in a million Followed by:Second to none Ill start.This is thefirstpost.

    (167) The 167th Airlift Wing of the West Virginia Air National Guard is an airlift unit that flies the C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. The wing has served the state and nation since the end of World War II by providing outstanding capability across a variety of missions, beginning in its earliest days when its 167th Fighter Squadron flew the F-51 Mustang and F-86 Sabre fighters. The unit has deployed to the four corners of the Earth in support of the Global War on Terrorism and continues to support this effort. The 167th's focus today, and in the future, is summed up in the unit's motto: "Mountaineer Pride Worldwide." The unit has been active in numerous exercises such as Sentry Storm, Volant Oak, Rodeos, and various overseas deployments; for example, 1981, and again in 1988, all aircraft deployed to Europe a first for any unit. In 1990, members of the Aeromedical Evacuation Flight, Mobile Aerial Port Squadron, Tactical Airlift Squadron and Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, along with support personnel from other areas were the first called to volunteer to take part in Operation Desert Shield. They did so, with many leaving on only a few hours' notice.

    (168) State Route 168 (SR 168) is an east-west state highway in California, USA, which is separated into three distinct segments, in part by the Sierra Nevada mountains. The westernmost segment runs from Fresno east to Huntington Lake along the western slope of the Sierras. The middle segment connects Lake Sabrina in the Eastern Sierras to the city of Bishop. And the easternmost segment of SR 168 then runs from the community of Big Pine to Oasis, just to the west of the Nevada border.

    (173)United Airlines 173 The Need for CRMIn late December 1978, a United Airlines commercial aircraft DC-8 carrying 181 passengers and 8 crew crashed outside Portland, Oregon. 8 passengers and 2 crew members died. Although the crew did encounter a real malfunction of the aircraft, ultimately the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) investigation concluded it was the crews carelessness and inability to work together effectively that led to a preventable exhaustion of all fuel causing all 4 engines to flame out. The crews responsibility for the crash was seen as a common theme arising in several other recent (at the time) aviation mishaps- i.e. the inability for crews to work and communicate with one another effectively. Therefore, this crash directly led to multiple airline companies adopting new training for all crews beginning in 1981, which has evolved to become what aircrew know today as Crew Resource Management (CRM).

    (177) .177 caliber (4.5mm) is the smallest diameter of pellets widely used in air guns, and is the only caliber generally accepted for formal target competition. It is also sometimes used for hunting small game, as well as in Field Target competition, where it competes with .20 caliber (5 mm) and .22 caliber (5.5 mm) rifles. Steel BB shot is 0.175-inch (4.4 mm) diameter. Some air guns are designed to accept .177 pellets, .177 lead shot, or .175 steel BBs interchangeably.

    (179) Section 179 of the United States Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 179), allows a taxpayer to elect to deduct the cost of certain types of property on their income taxes as an expense, rather than requiring the cost of the property to be capitalized and depreciated. This property is generally limited to tangible, depreciable, personal property which is acquired by purchase for use in the active conduct of a trade or business. Buildings were not eligible for section 179 deductions prior to the passage of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010; however, qualified real property may be deducted now.

    (183) 183 day rule. What is the 183 day rule? Most countries have tax treaties between each other and in such a tax treaty is determined which country can tax what. Among those articles is the article about employment. Employment is taxed in the country where the employment is actually done. In the event the employee is send for a short period of time to another country, that would imply this employee is taxed in that other country. Moreover, for that period of time the employee is socially insured in that country. The employee however is not very keen on that situation. Being send out can be exiting, but not all employees find the tax consequences exciting. For that purpose the 183 day rule as been invented. For the 183 day rule three conditions need to be met: The employee cannot have been physically in the other country for more than 183 days during a twelve month period. In some countries this is equal to the calendar year in some countries like the United Kingdom it is twelve months equal to the tax year which is not the calendar year. The employee is not considered being an employee of the other company in the other country The employer sending out the employee does not have a permanent establishment in that other country. Number 2 and 3 conditions are nearly never taken into account, but those conditions make that the 183 day rule nearly never can be applied.

    (184)The Ehang 184 personal drone is ready to flyWith 200-plus successful test flights, this autonomous aerial vehicle is almost ready to begin operation, but not in the United States. The Ehang 184 can accommodate one person weighing up to 220 pounds in its small cabin. The drone has a flying ceiling of 11,500 feet and can fly 30 to 40 miles on a single charge of its electrical battery. The drone flies itselfthe passenger doesnt have to do anything. Ehang will have its own control centers to track and manage the AAVs in flight. The companys already built its first control center in China, which has granted permission for these drones to fly there. Ehang hopes to sell the AAV or offer it as a service, like a flying Uber.

    The Kepler-186system is a stellar system, at least five planets, located 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. The five planets of Kepler-186 are orbiting a red dwarf star (spectral type M), a less massive star (0.48 solar mass) and less warm (3500 K, 5778 K for the Sun) the Sun, size and mass 0.5 relative to the Sun. Red dwarfs are by far the most numerous stars in the universe, 70% of the stars in the Milky Way are red dwarfs and can shine for hundreds of billions of years. In April 2014, using the Kepler space telescope of NASA, a team of astronomers has discovered the first exoterre (size of the Earth) in the habitable zone of the star Kepler-186. The discovery of the exoplanet Kepler-186F confirms that planets the size of Earth exist in the habitable zone of stars other than our Sun. This is not the first planet discovered in a habitable zone of a star, Dec. 6, 2011, NASA confirmed the discovery of Kepler-22b (2.4 R) the first planet in the "habitable zone" its star. However, the exoplanet Kepler-186F has a size comparable to that of the Earth (1.11 R) unfortunately we do not know its mass, depending on its composition (water, iron silicate). The discovery of Kepler-186F is an important step towards the search for worlds like our Earth planet , said Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division of NASA. Will have to wait 2018, with the JWST telescope, to know the chemical composition of Kepler-186F and its possible atmosphere. "When we look for life outside our solar system, we focus on the search for planets with characteristics similar to that of the Earth," said Elisa Quintana, researcher (SETI Institute / NASA Ames Research Center) and author main article published April 17, 2014 in the journal Science. Kepler-186F which orbits its star in 130 days, is located near the outer edge of the habitable zone (see picture). This does not give us the average temperature of its surface, it depends on the atmosphere that we not yet know. The four other planets of Kepler-186, Kepler-186b, Kepler-186c, Kepler-186d and Kepler-186e revolve around their sun, all respectively 4, 7, 13, and 22 days. So close to their star, they are certainly too hot to keep water in the liquid state. The 5 inner planets of this system are all smaller than 1.4 times the size of Earth. This major discovery is only the beginning of a long series of discoveries that all we will marvel as the Kepler space telescope simultaneously and continuously measure the brightness of over 150,000 stars.
