...Levitating Match I. Introduction The same effect can be seen in many domestic thermostats. It can be amplified by attaching two strips of material together with different rates of expansion (a bimetallic strip). As the temperature rises, the greater expansion on one side of the strips causes it to curve further and further. This can be incorporated into a switch that will connect and cut off a heating apparatus when a particular temperature has been reached. II. Objective/s • The performer should align the matches symmetrically. • One match should levitate when lighted. • The audience should see the levitation. III. Materials and Procedures Materials: Matchbox (empty) 3 matches Procedure: 1. Lay the empty matchbox flat on the table, slightly open, with the empty section facing upwards. 2. Insert two matches into the empty matchbox so that the heads point out from the matchbox. Close the matchbox as much as possible so that the two matches are securely held. 3, Angle the two matches so that the heads are touching. 4. Rest a third match so that the head meets the other two, and the tail is resting on the table, pointing away from the empty matchbox. The three matches should now form a triangular pyramid shape with the three heads at the top point of the pyramid. 5. Use a fourth match to light the others from underneath. 6. Watch as the third match levitate. IV. Magic behind / Physics Principle When the three match heads ignite they...

...Mike marched into the room, wearing his white V-neck shirt - that reveals the scar on his chest, and pulled me up by my collar as I struggled to stay conscious. I could see black dots start clouding my vision. I stayed silent knowing that if I told him he’ll just double the punishment. He brought a lighted match close to my ear. “This is for not listening to what I say,” he stated cruelly leaving the match to do its duty – I was too weak to do anything about it. Sweat trickled down my forehead and my palms started to swear, I tried rubbing my hands on my pajama to dry them but I found no use in doing so because they just kept on sweating more and more. When will this be over? Sometimes in life the only thing you could do is to pray for god and hold on hope’s rope- and this was one of the times. Dizziness .I felt it. Rapidly I took a seat on the floor of the dusty basement. “What do you think you’re doing?” Mike raised his eyebrow in curiosity. I looked up at him slightly and whispered under my breath as I breathed heavily, “Please, only this time.” He just glared at me and took out another match. I watched as fire danced on the match stick. Then I closed my eyes shut. When will this end? The heat could be felt coming near my bruised cheek. Closer. Closer. Closer it came. The flame captured my skin – a predator attacking his prey. 5 minutes turned to 10, 2 matches turned to 3; 10 minutes turned to 15, 3 matches turned to 4; 15 minutes turned to 10, 4 matches turned...

In order to have all these components one must be able to develop a story from the art work before they can incorporate characters/ objects, and introduce the elements of light, darkness, shadow and color. Story within the Artwork Smith, or Smithy is the name of the match or that’s what all matches called one another, but we will call him Smith. Smith was just sitting in his matchbox, sometimes he was knocked on to the other smiths, and sometimes he was the last of his companions. It was and still is a crazy life for a match. First, they get hot head very fast and end up setting fire to other Smith’s or objects that did them no wrong. Now this specific day was very special. It was Smith’s birthday. He has survived longer than all of the other Smiths. He had spent a whole year stowed away in a box that once felt like a crammed closet, but now felt like a mansion. Smith knew that something grand was going to happen on his special day he just knew it. Smith wonders would he be used on top of a cake, or maybe to star fireworks. To Smith it did not matter what he was used for, just that he got out of the empty match box. It was nearly dark now and Smith was starting to get mad now. All day he had been waiting for his chance to set things a blaze. His red head primed and ready, the wood plank that gracious loud his head stability fresh and untouched.

...to a deck of cards. The 27 picture cards include all the tissues including skeletal, muscle, epithelium, cardiac, etc. The word cards ask “What” (what is the tissue) and “Where” (where is it located). The cards with the pictures of the tissues are laid out on the ground to see, as well as the word cards. All the cards (54) are scattered on the ground, completely out of order. The point of the game is to match the card with its picture. For example, Simple Squamous Epithelium is the WHAT and the skin is the WHERE. A picture of this tissue is found on the picture card, with the highlighted portion to identify. The object of the game is to match as many picture cards with word cards. The person with the most matching cards wins the game. Some cards contain extra credit questions, which allows one extra point for guessing it correctly the first time (no points for each additional attempted time). Each person takes one turn before returning to the original player. If the person matches the picture card with a word card, they gain a point. If they pick 2 cards and they don’t match, they neither gain nor loose points and have to put the card back on the ground and the next person goes. Even if someone gets it right, they don’t get to go again, leaving more opportunities for other people to guess. The more people play, the easier it is to learn the histology of the human body. There are only 3 strikes to get it wrong when playing. On the 4th time someone picks the wrong picture card...

...Match Horoscope Free at http://www.AstroSage.com || Match Making || Vedic Astrology has an excellent and proven method of compatibility matching based on nakshatras (Lunar Constellations), which is called Ashtakoot match or simply guna milap. It assigns points for factors that influence marriage. More the points obtained, more the chances of successful and happy married life. As the name suggests, maximum possible points are 36. If a matching obtains less than 18 points, it is not considered good and marriage is not advisable. Apart from 36 Points, this report also considers Mangal Dosha (Manglik or Kuja Dosham) compatibility and pronounces results by combining these two important factors.

...broad line of printing and scanning systems. It has many branches including the St-Louis Branch. It is possible to see from the case that there are many issues arising from this branch. One key issue that needs investigation is delegation of duties. The equipment administrator has many important responsibilities to perform, and as well as having many, there are many that are not well defined. The Equipment administrator is responsible for the accuracy of inventory records, the timely resolution of equipment discrepancies that delayed orders. The EA is also responsible for maintaining the Non-revenue Report, which needed to be updated daily. Every month the EA was also responsible for taking physical inventory of all the equipment and to match this inventory to the Non-revenue Report. It is possible to see that this list of things are all intertwined and are very time consuming. After an audit, they were able to pinpoint that the accuracy of equipment reports was not precise, this something that should be changed. It is not always a good idea to have one person responsible for tasks that are intertwined, because mistakes are often made and never uncovered. The EA could in fact fudge the numbers when it came to physical inventory so that they matched the Non-revenue Report, and therefore he/she would make the company look better because there would be no lost inventory. Furthermore, we can see that having to update the Non-revenue Report daily, but not matching these to physical...

...prison in Yuma, Arizona on April 8, 2004 after serving 10 years for the murder of a cocktail waitress. The evidence that convicted him was a set of bite mark that matched his teeth with the bite marks on one of her breasts. Throughout this entire time, he always maintained his innocence. It turned out 10 years after his conviction he was exonerated due to DNA evidence on the victim’s clothes turned out to match that of another man. When it comes to bite marks unless the victim is found immediately after the bite happens and victims are not found immediately after they have been bitten, bruising and abrasions will start to appear and continue to change the skin the longer it takes before the victim is found. If very many hours go by it is even hard to tell if the marks are even bite marks. One time bruises thought to be bite marks were actually bruises made by a hair band. Bite marks are subjective and unless the victim is immediately found right after they were bitten it is impossible to even come close to identification of the suspect. The only positive way to match up the victim with the suspect is if DNA evidence can be gathered along with the imprint of the bite that matches both suspect and victim (Randerson, 2004). Also bite marks can be made while a body can be in many different body positions and skin has elasticity to it and stretches which can cause distortion of the bite marks. The identification of mistaken identity has been reported to be as high as 91%. ...

...Integrative Case Analysis – Competitive Strategy eHarmony Industry Structure and Value Creation/Capture From times immemorial, with the possible exception of Adam and Eve (whose marriage was probably made in heaven anyway), finding a life partner on Earth has been a difficult task. Wars have been waged, monuments erected and kingdoms won and lost, in partner-acquisition endeavors. People have used numerous techniques, institutions, practices and systems over time to try to perfect the art of finding a partner that they could be happy with. Yet no system is universally accepted as a formula for success. The Internet in the mid-to-late 1990’s offered the promise of making the partner search process more efficient, quicker (for some), less onerous, and less emotionally draining than other means. This led to the creation of a new Industry – the Online Personals Industry – which I would define as “a collection of online services built specifically to cater to the needs of those looking online for a relationship partner, whether for marriage or long-or-short-term companionship”. By leveraging the power of faster communication, access to a large number of candidates and intelligent learning systems to suggest possible matches, online personals sites had an opportunity to carve out a non-trivial share of the matchmaking or partner-finding “market”. Technology had the additional benefit of bringing together people from distant geographies (I have a Chinese-American friend who met...

...Zach Savidge [Ying Jiang] Hugo Ou [Gabriel La Spada] ECO 363 4/13/2014 Swedish Match Case 1. The company will save 4.5%×4,000,000,000×28%= SEK 50,400,000 annually. We assume the debt Swedish Match issues is a 10-year maturity coupon bond as the average BBB corporate bond (the CFO believes Swedish Match will receive a BBB+ rating) with the yield closest to that of Swedish Match’s debt is the 10-year maturity. Moreover, we do not assume that this debt will be refinanced into perpetuity because the financing decisions of Swedish Match are clearly dynamic - the board will only decide on the issuance of this one bond as the upcoming board meeting, not whether the fixed debt level will be maintained through refinancing once the proposed bond reaches maturity. Thus the value of the tax shield represents a 10-year annuity. Lastly, we assume the risk of the tax shield is equivalent to that of the debt because we are estimating the value of the tax shield of a fixed dollar value level of debt (as opposed to a level of debt that is a fixed percentage of Swedish Match’s enterprise value). Hence the discount rate for the annuity is the 4.5% yield to maturity of the debt. Value of Tax Shield = 2. Post-Recap, Swedish Match will have an additional SEK 4 billion in debt and have SEK 4.5 billion less in book value equity. The pre and post recap balance sheets as of 2004 are shown below.
