The marble projectile problem is a physics problem that involves determining the trajectory and impact point of a marble launched from a certain height and angle, taking into account factors such as gravity and air resistance.


The main variables involved in the marble projectile problem are the initial velocity of the marble, the launch angle, the height from which it is launched, the mass of the marble, and the effects of air resistance and gravity.


The marble projectile problem can be solved using mathematical equations such as the equations of motion, kinematic equations, and the principles of projectile motion. These equations can be used to calculate the trajectory, time of flight, and impact point of the marble.


The marble projectile problem has real-world applications in fields such as engineering, ballistics, and sports. It can be used to design and test projectile launchers, predict the trajectory of missiles, or analyze the flight of a basketball or baseball.


Air resistance, also known as drag, can significantly affect the trajectory of the marble in the projectile problem. It acts in the opposite direction of the marble's motion, slowing it down and changing its trajectory. The higher the air resistance, the shorter the distance the marble can travel and the steeper its trajectory will be.

Now to be fair, I have never heard of a Walleye actually being caught in Great Bear Lake, but strange as it may seem, you don't have to travel very far afield to find what is arguably one of the world's northern most Walleye fisheries.


The Johnny Hoe meanders north across the tundra for approximately 18 km from Lac Ste. Therese, before emptying its tannin stained waters into Great Bear. The lake itself is fairly large, being just over 14 km long, and approximately 9 km wide.


Other than a handful of people who have flown in with inflatables, to the best of my knowledge, the lake and/or river has rarely been fished. Several guys I personally know fished the river for a day many years back while staying at Branson's Lodge. They even made plans to camp out on Ste. Therese the following year, with the intention of giving the lake a good going over, but unfortunately the inflatables they cached were no where to be found upon their return.


There is also a road running the width of the Leith Peninsula that passes within about 400m of Jebb. Apparently it is an offshoot of the main ice road that once serviced the Eldorado Mine, and was used to haul supplies between Bear Island and Sawmill Bay lodges.


Taken in 2008, there are a series of aerial photographs below that follow the road across the peninsula from east to west, starting from the point where it meets Great Bear just south of Sawmill Bay. The road eventually touches the lake again on the west side of the Leith Peninsula south of Neiland Bay, where Great Bear Lake Lodge once stood.


In the alternative, try one of the air services located in Yellowknife, such as Air Tindi or Buffalo Air, or perhaps North -Wright Airways, who operate out of Norman Wells, as any or all of them may be able to provide outfitting and transportation services to either location.


One other possibility, if your preference is to fish Jebb, would be to book a trip to Neiland Bay Lodge, tow a small boat and motor over to the "Stockyards," and then drag/carry it the 420m or so across the tundra to the lake.


But if you're up for something truly unique, try tracking down "Ol' Marble Eyes" in the land of the midnight sun, because I can guarantee you, it will be an experience you will never forget, and as an added incentive, if you happen to tire of catching Walleye - Great Bear Lake's monster Lake Trout will be lurking close by.


As a post script to this story, in 2013 some lucky anglers had the folks from Plummer's Lodge on Great Bear, fly them into the Johnny Hoe for the week. They found some very big Pike - the largest being 48" - and from the sounds of it I'm surprised the Walleye didn't chase them into their tents. The Walleye which averaged between 20" and 22," eagerly took flies, and I suspect pretty much anything else that was thrown their way - they even managed to catch 100 Walleye in just under an hour. If you happen to get bored with Walleye and Pike, there are Grayling, Lake Trout and some big Whitefish to be found in the area as well.


The Marble Base Camp has been owned and operated by Colorado Outward Bound School since 1962 as a site for youth outdoor education and leadership programs and has historical significance as the first Outward Bound base camp in the United States.


In the 1970s, Outward Bound acquired its primary Colorado base camp in Leadville. Colorado Outward Bound continued to operate the Marble Base Camp through 2019 but had to stop programming in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.


The land trust purchased the neighboring property, Chapin Wright Marble Basecamp, in 2016 with community support and has since expanded programming to schools and non-profits in the Roaring Fork, Colorado River, and North Fork valleys.


Purchasing the Marble Base Camp will expand program capacity by providing a more accessible space that includes cabins and dining facilities, land trust officials said. They said the land trust will continue and grow the outdoor-education model established at Chapin Wright Marble Base Camp with a focus on serving children who have not historically had access to outdoor education experiences.


To save this historic campus, Aspen Valley Land Trust is working with several funding and programming partners and launching a public campaign, officials said. To learn more and donate, visit avlt.org/save-outdoor-ed. For more information on how to support Colorado Outward Bound programs, visit cobs.org.


Now more than ever, your support is critical to help us keep our community informed about the evolving coronavirus pandemic and the impact it is having locally. Every contribution, however large or small, will make a difference.


Marble Land - land of the ancient Thracians, home of many generations. Today, on those volcanic soils and marble rocks, at 368 m above-the-sea elevation, the Yamantievs have planted their unique vineyards. The specifics of the terroir allow for slow and gradual maturing of the grape, perfect balance and concentration of natural tannins, sugars, and

aromas. The reward for the skills put in is wines with a definite individuality and aging potential, worthy of exquisite gourmet


This week's General Land Office record is a survey plat that shows the "marble boundary monument" between the United States and Mexico. The marble monument is officially known as Monument No. 258 , and it serves as the initial point of boundary between the United States and Mexico. This initial point was established in 1849 with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo that brought an end to the Mexican-American War (1846-1849). To this day, the marble monument marks the southwestern corner of the contiguous United States. Read more on ArcGIS Story Maps.


The GLO website provides live access to Federal land conveyance records for the Public Land States, including image access to more than 12 million federal land title records issued between 1788 and the present.


The site also hosts images of survey plats and field notes, land status records, and control document index records, and is one of the most visited websites in the Department of the Interior. Visit glorecords.blm.gov for more information.


Since 1962, Colorado Outward Bound School owned and ran the site, known as Marble Base Camp, as a site for youth outdoor education and leadership programs. It was the first Outward Bound base camp in the United States. Programming there stopped in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a news release.


Whatever future programming might look like, it will be targeted to kids, include programming for local schools and large groups, and aim to educate youth about the value of the outdoors. But the exact details of that programming will be decided with stakeholders.


She said with the land-purchasing phase of the project complete, the next stages are working with partners to determine programming and securing the additional funding. By 2025, Quinn expects, AVLT will welcome kids on the property.


The Blue Marble is an incredibly detailed, true-color depiction of the Earth. NASA is responsible for this dataset made from a compilation of satellite images throughout 2001. Most of the information came from NASA's MODIS, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, which is attached to the Terra satellite 435 miles above Earth. The background image of the land and oceans was created using data from June through September of 2001. This could not be done in a single day or even a week because on any given day clouds are blocking a significant portion of the surface.
