...Introduction The amount of physical activity you do is extremely vital in maintaining a longer and healthy life. In older adults, it is even more important in order to live independently. In this article, a 7-year-long longitudinal study on the effects of physical activity in older adults was executed in Japan. Specifically, the study was examined on the change and influence in climatic environment on physical activity level. The hypothesis of this study was that seasonal climate change, varying from summer to winter, has a significant influence on the physical activity level of these older adults. Methods In this study, there were 39 healthy community-dwelling adults, 22 women and 17 men, who ranged in age from 65-80 years old. In other words, these participants were active, healthy and capable of independently visiting the venue where the study took place. The study was carried out during two extreme seasons, which were mid-summer and mid-winter. These seasons were chosen so that researchers could note the difference in physical activity level for each climate. The main physical...

...There is an unseen power behind words and the written language. The way they dance on the tongue and lace itself around the minds of others, almost as though the words tattoo themselves on the skin of every individual. As the generations grow older, the lessons given become bolder and hold a greater imprint on those impacted. Leah Guest’s rewrite of 7 years, originally done by Lukas Graham, reflects on the impact of words and the lessons that surround a person. Time is constantly fleeting with a new lesson each day, and most of the time it is quickly forgotten. There are things in everyone’s life that will not only burn brightly in one’s heart, but can be just as likely smothered out. The memories and lessons that are taken now only set up the hopes and dreams for the future...

...reading binary. Using a 7-segment display we are able to achieve that by converting the BCD value into a 7 bit output. The 7-segment display has 7 LEDs and a certain amount of voltage triggers each of the 7 segments to produce a decimal number. Procedure 1. Create a truth table for your 4 bit input and the corresponding output necessary to light the proper segments of the display. For example, if the input is represented by WXYZ and the output is identified as ABCDEFG then if the input is 0000, all outer LEDs should be lit while the middle LED should be off. Once you create the rows in a truth table for the other 9 combinations, find the function for each segment. 2. Depending on whether you are dealing with more 0s or 1s, choose NAND or AND gates to implement each segment function. 3. Wire the input DIP switches to the decoder input. Note that you have 2 3x8 decoders. You will need to use the inputs and enable lines to combine them in order to implement these 7 functions. 4. Wire the NAND or AND gates to the proper outputs of the decoders in order to implement the functions for each segment. 5. Wire the outputs of the gates to the proper pin on the 7-segment display (refer to the datasheet for the 7-segment display you are using and remember to use a resistor instead of a jumper. 6. Attach 5V to both common anode pins of your 7-segment display (refer to the datasheet for the 7-segment display you are using). 7. Demonstrate number 0-9...

...1. John wants to have an interest income of $3,000 a year. How much must he invest for one year at 8%? i = prt 3000 = p × 0.08 × 1 3000 = 0.08p p = 37,500 2. Jane owes the bank some money at 4% per year. After half a year, she paid $45 as interest. How much money does she owe the bank? i = prt 45=p*0.04* 1/2 45 = 0.02p p = 2250 3. Robert deposits $ 3000 in State Bank of India for 3 year which earn him an interest of 8%.What is the amount he gets after 1 year, 2 years and 3 years? Solution: In every $ 100, Robert gets $ 8. (Since rate is 8% → 8 for every 100) Therefore, for $ 1 he gets = $ 8/100 And for $ 2000 he gets = 3000 x 8/100 = $ 240 Simple Interest for 1 year = $ 240. Simple Interest for 2 year = $ 240 x 2 = $ 480 Simple Interest for 3 year = $ 240 x 3 = $ 720 Therefore, Amount after 1 year = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI) = 3000 + 240 = $ 3240 Amount after 2 years = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI) = 3000 + 480 = $ 3480 Amount after 3 years = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI) = 3000 + 720 = $ 3720 We observe from the above example that, the Interest cannot be calculated without Principal, Rate and Time. Therefore, we can conclude that Simple Interest (S.I.) depends upon: Principal (P) (ii) Rate (R) (iii) Time (T) And therefore, the formula for calculating the simple interest is Simple Interest (SI) = {Principal (P) × Rate (R) × Time (T)}/100 Amount (A) = Principal...

...Forecasting with Indices Forecasting is a tool that a company can use to predict trends or patterns based on the data available from previous years, quarters or periods. Forecasting can assist a company with a wealth of information, such as where cuts need to be made, where increases need to be made. Forecasting can even aid a company with what product to carry or discontinue and when would be a good time for a sale.

...I viewed a play from the Oliver National Theatre in London broadcasted on the 31st of January 2015. The name of this play is ‘A Small Family Business’. It began at 7:30pm at the Eileen L. Auditorium in Paraquita Bay. The play as written by Alan Ayckbourn. The designer is Tim Hatley, the lighting designer is Paul Anderson and the sound director is Gareth Fry. The main actors are Jack McCracken, played by Nigel Lindsay, Poppy McCracken, played by Debra Gillett, Samantha McCracken, played by Alice Skyes, Desmond Ayes, played by Neal Barry and Benedict Hough, and played by Matthew Cottle. The play is about Jack McCracken and his entrepreneurial greed after taking over his father-in-law’s business. Upon his takeover he is approached by a private detective named Mr. Benedict Hough, who has knowledge of some compromising information. He later then realizes that his extended family is known thieves and adulterers who plunders the business from their home. It then concludes with a small housewarming party with their trouble, Mr Hough, dead. The acting was a little more developed than I thought. It was on-point in some areas and in others not so good. At first I thought Niky Wardley, the character Anita McCracken, was over acting but u then realized that that was supposed to be the kind of character she was; boastful. At some point in time Poppy’s back was shown to the audience. I liked the character Samantha McCracken. Her part was played very well. I noticed in the end and beginning...

We can use quantitative forecasting methods to forecast the future expected class sizes, since we have past data on class sizes. We shall also assume that the past pattern will continue in the future and therefore use the time series forecasting method.
