flight: Definition, Synonyms and Much More from Answers.com (3828 words)
Flapping flight in vertebrates was probably preceded by gliding; in insects it may have originated by leaping and gliding, by surface skimming on water, or (if small enough) by passive floating in the air.
Flight of tiny insects is in the lower range of Reynolds numbers, where viscous forces are dominant, whereas large insects and vertebrates operate in the higher range, where inertial forces are important.
Flight is the process by which a heavier-than-air animal or object achieves sustained movement either through the air by aerodynamically generating lift or aerostatically using buoyancy, or movement beyond earth's atmosphere, in the case of spacecraft.

As the severity of the nursing gap sets in, nursing schools and hospitals have realized they need to boost the image of nursing among elementary, middle and high school students today if there are to be enough nurses tomorrow.
Nursing recruiters must persuade children who’ve heard about poor salaries that the actual compensation isn’t bad and improves over time, that the work is rewarding even if it is difficult and that there’s a lot more to it than assisting a physician.
