...------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, November 07, 2007 ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- I took this class because I take my physical health seriously. Even before I started this school year, I had been training 4 days a week, learning about many different systems of martial arts. Good physical health means having muscle strength, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and core strength. ------------------------------------------------- Muscular strength is the ability to exert maximum force. Muscular endurance is the ability to repeat a lift many times. Improving muscular strength and endurance makes completing daily tasks easier. If anyone ever needed help moving furniture, or any other heavy objects, I will be able to help because of the strength training I’ve done. Also, muscular strength and endurance gives obvious advantages in the martial arts, such as striking power, and the ability to overpower someone when grappling. In other words, if a...

...the most fundamental interface to the system, the conduit for all command-line interactions. Thus, it's important to have a solid foundation in whatever shell you choose. There are many different shells available, from Ash to Zsh. They all differ in many ways, and some (such as Csh and Tcsh) vary wildly from the others. Each has its selling points. However, because Bash has become the de-facto standard shell on most Unix-like operating systems and can generally be found everywhere, it makes an excellent place to start, even if you ultimately choose a different shell for daily use.

...Final Report EE 3331-002 Project 2 GPS Guided Vehicle By: Yasser Khan December 10th 2004 Instructor: Dr. Andreas Neuber Advisor: Dr. Jon G. Bredeson Team Member(s): Travis Vollmer Justin Griffin Abstract This paper illustrates the implementation of an autonomous robot that navigates around the TTU R4 parking lot using the guidance of a GPS sensor. Choosing of this robot will be discussed, as well as the different components needed to make such a project possible. The GPS sensor is manufactured by GARMIN and its accuracy will be evaluated in this report. The Texas Instrument microcontroller MSP430F149 will receive GPS data from the sensor and run well assembled software to evaluate and control the motor controller which controls the motors. The microcontroller will control movements of the chosen robot and do actions such as move straight and turn a number of different degrees.

We expect 2014 contracted sales growth to be flat while policy risk is on the rise given the strong ASPs. We downgrade our industry view to In-Line. We favor stocks with greater exposure to the mass market segment of non-top-tier cities; Vanke, CG and Shimao are our top picks. Industry view downgraded to In-Line: We are less optimistic than consensus about the contracted sales and ASP outlook in 2014; we expect flat growth amid the increased policy risk and steady demand. MSCI China Real Estate index has outperformed MSCI China by 15% in the last 12 months. The average share price upside of our coverage universe has narrowed to 11%. Favor non-HPR/mass-market: We are more skeptical about tier-one cities given the 56% jump in land sales volume YTD and heightened policy risk amid the surge in ASPs. Demand-supply in lower-tier cities should continue to improve; we think there could be a third consecutive year of zero growth/decline in land sales in 2013, bringing down inventory-turnover. 17% contracted sales growth in 2014: We expect our coverage universe to continue to gain market share but they may only achieve half...

...Maslow’s Need Approach Instinct (ĭn'stĭngkt') An inherited tendency of an organism to behave in a certain way, usually in reaction to its environment and for the purpose of fulfilling a specific need (1). There are several requirements for a behavior to be considered an instinct such as being unmodifiable or triggered by some event in the environment or an event that happens in every member of a species. Depending on the theorist and their discipline, such as Maslow, an instinct is something that no longer exists in the human species. Some psychoanalysts insist that instinct is a major motivational force sometimes referred to as an instinctual drive. Regardless of how it is labeled or classified, there are basic needs that exist in all human beings, needs that motivate humans to satisfy those needs at different levels of developmental growth. According Abraham Maslow, these needs exist in a hierarchy of importance and prevalence during said human beings development through life. At the time that Maslow wrote his paper in 1943, A Theory of Human Motivation, there were five levels of needs that a human should experience though their development. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs If, in fact these needs strongly influence the behavior of an individual, it would be most beneficial for management to understand these needs. An understanding can provide the ability to satisfy these needs, intern creating a mutually beneficial and productive situation. Physiological Needs ...

...3 Basic Types of Muscle * 1. Skeletal muscle – is voluntary muscle which allows movement of the skeleton and produces body heat. There are two types of skeletal muscle fiber. * Slow –twitch muscle fiber (type I) are oxygen-dependent , produces low force, are slow to fatigue and can contract for longer periods of time. * Fast-twitch muscle fiber (type II) –produces large amounts of force, contract rapidly, are not oxygen dependent but are fast to fatigue. * 2. Cardiac muscle tissue – involuntary muscle tissue which exists only in the heart and facilitates the pumping of the blood through the body. * 3. Smooth muscle tissue – involuntary muscle tissue that lines some of the internal organs, blood vessels and moves food through the stomach and intestines. Connective tissue * Tendons – Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a sheet of connective tissue that draws together at the ends of the muscle forming tendons. Tendons attach muscles to bones. * Ligaments – Fibrous, connective tissue that connects bone to bone Muscle structure * Within each skeletal muscle there are individual muscle cells called muscle fibers which are connected in bundles. Each muscle fiber extends the length of the muscle. Within each muscle fiber are smaller units called myofibrils. Each myofibril consists of many sarcomeres. The sarcomeres contain proteins called actin and myosin. Sarcomeres are responsible for muscle contraction. The actin and myosin filaments...
