A parachute is a device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating drag (or in the case of ram-air parachutes, aerodynamic lift). Parachutes are usually made out of light, strong cloth, originally silk, now most commonly nylon. Depending on the situation, parachutes are used with a variety of loads, including people, food, equipment, space capsules, and bombs.
The earliest evidence for the parachute dates back to the Renaissance period. The oldest parachute design appears in an anonymous manuscript from 1470s Renaissance Italy (British Museum Add. MSS 34,113, fol. 200v), showing a free-hanging man clutching a cross bar frame attached to a conical canopy. As a safety measure, four straps run from the ends of the rods to a waist belt. The design is a marked improvement over another folio (189v), which depicts a man trying to break the force of his fall by the means of two long cloth streamers fastened to two bars which he grips with his hands. Although the surface area of the parachute design appears to be too small to offer effective resistance to the friction of the air and the wooden base-frame is superfluous and potentially harmful, the revolutionary character of the new concept is obvious.

"Parachute" is a song by English recording artist Cheryl Cole. It was co-written by Marshall Altman and Ingrid Michaelson and recorded for Cole's debut studio album 3 Words (2009). The song was released on 11 March 2010 as the album's third and final single. "Parachute" became Cole's third consecutive solo UK top 5 hit, and her third Irish top 10 hit. It was nominated for a Brit Award in 2011.
Composition
"Parachute" is an up-tempo song written by Ingrid Michaelson and Marshall Altman which combines R&B rhythms with pop melodies. It also makes use of military percussion,strings and a big pop music-hook with quirky melodic verses that were compared to "3" by Britney Spears. The melody was said to resemble "beats from the Argentine Tango" whilst Cole makes use of auto-tuning for her vocals. It was initially put forward as one of the options for the lead single of the album but "Fight for This Love" was chosen instead.
Lyrically the song was criticised for being "mundane" but also well written enough to "get horribly stuck in everyone's heads". The song has an overall "tender and mourningful" theme. Critics noted that "Parachute" was one of several songs on the album where there "lurks a deeper undertow of paranoia". Cole also said that the song contains her favourite lyric from the album; "you are your own worst enemy, you'll never win the fight". Other lyrics such as "I don't need a parachute, baby if I got you" led to the song being labelled "sultry" as the subject of the lyrics appeared to be Cole's spouse Ashley though at the time the couple had announced their separation. The timing of the single release was described as "bittersweet" due to the "talk about being safe in the love of another person" in the lyrics.
"Without" is the debut single from half-English, half-Italian solo singer Jack Savoretti taken from his debut album, Between the Minds.
"Without" was the first release on De Angelis Records, the label set up by Anne Barrett. The track went onto the Radio 2 B list on the same day that Jack played his media showcase at the prestigious London club Ronnie Scott’s.
It spent a total of two weeks in the UK Singles Chart, debuting at number 90 then falling to 180 a week later.
Music video
The video, filmed in Majorca, Spain, was directed by Oscar-nominated director Bobby Garabedian and was played across the music channels through October.
"Without" is the second episode of the eighth season of the science fictiontelevision seriesThe X-Files. The episode first aired in the United States and Canada on November 12, 2000 on Fox and subsequently aired in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2001. It was written by executive producer Chris Carter and directed by Kim Manners. The episode helps to explore the series' overarching mythology and continues from the seventh season finale, "Requiem", and season eight premiere, "Within", in which Fox Mulder was abducted by aliens who are planning to colonize Earth. The episode earned a Nielsen rating of 9.0 in the United States and was seen by 15.1 million viewers. As with the previous episode, "Within," it was generally well received by critics, although some detractors criticized various plot points.
The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. In the episode, John Doggett (Robert Patrick) continues his search for Mulder, and attempts to uncover an alien bounty hunter within their ranks. After the task force is called off, Scully is surprised to learn that Doggett, the leader of the team, has been assigned to the X-Files.

Vibing
We could talk all night or sit in silence
Watching shitty movies
Getting high and laughing about nothing much at all
And that’s cool with me
Losing control but I like it
Whatcha doin to me, doin to me
You got a hold of my psyche
And that’s alright with me
I don’t know what’s happening...
Lately I’ve been someone and it ain’t myself
I’m spending all my time on somebody else
I’m feelin all these feelings I don’t understand
You’re the one good thing I ain’t questioning
Like oooh, if I knew that it would kill me
I would still be there a thousand times over
If that’s the cons...

Da da, dadadada da da, dadadada da da
Fingers wrapped around me
And I’m thinkin three words
Got me thinkin diamonds
And I usually take my time
I just can’t believe it
All the ways that you blow my mind
Everyone can see it
Lately I’ve been someone and it ain’t myself
I’m spending all my time on somebody else
I’m feelin all these feelings I don’t understand
