Swings (rapper)

Moon Ji Hoon (Korean:문지훈, born October 14, 1986), better known by the stage name Swings (Korean:스윙스), is a South Korean rapper. He was formerly under the label Brand New Music. He is now contracted under his own record label, Just Music Entertainment.

Swings debuted in 2008 with the extended play "Upgrade." He holds a bachelor's degree from Sungkyunkwan University in "English Language and Literature." He has participated on Mnet‘s "Show Me the Money"(쇼미더머니) rap battle program as a contestant for season two and as a producer for season three along with San E and Tablo. In 2013, Swings, alongside Bumkey, was named "Artist of the Year" by Korean hiphop magazine Hiphopplaya (힙합플레이야). In the summer of 2013 Swings caused controversy within the Korean hip hop community with the track "King Swings Part 2" in which he accused Simon D of not protecting his Supreme Team member E-Sens from an alleged slave contract offered by label Amoeba Culture. This track led to an outbreak of Control-esque "diss tracks" from rappers all over the industry. Swings was a producer for the third season of Mnet's "Show Me the Money," a rap competition program. He joined the army in 2014 but discharged from the army in 2015 because of mental illness.

Swing ride

The swing ride or chair swing ride (sometimes called a swing carousel, wave swinger, yo-yo, Chair-O-Planes or swinger) is a fairground ride that is a variation on the carousel in which the chairs are suspended from the rotating top of the carousel. On some versions, particularly on the Wave Swingers, the rotating top of the carousel also tilts for additional variations of motion.

History

Swing rides were present at the earliest amusement parks. At Idora Park in Oakland, California, in 1908, the ride was called the Flying Swing, but appears to be the same principle.

The Chair-O-Planes premiered in Germany in 1972, designed by Zierer and built by Franz Schwarzkopf, brother of Anton Schwarzkopf. In 1974 the first portable unit debuted under the same partnership. Since then Zierer has built about 200 units. Other manufacturers have followed creating their own versions of the Chair-O-Planes including Zamperla, Chance Rides, Grover Watkins, Bertazzon, Preston & Barbieri, Vekoma and Sanoyas Hishino Meisho.

Speed

In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity (the rate of change of its position); it is thus a scalar quantity. The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero.

Like velocity, speed has the dimensions of a length divided by a time; the SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.

The fastest possible speed at which energy or information can travel, according to special relativity, is the speed of light in a vacuum c = 7008299792458000000♠299792458 metres per second (approximately 7008299722222222222♠1079000000 km/h or 7008299963840000000♠671000000 mph). Matter cannot quite reach the speed of light, as this would require an infinite amount of energy. In relativity physics, the concept of rapidity replaces the classical idea of speed.
