... Introduction Bamboo, one of the strongest natural structural composite materials, has many distinguishing features. It has been found that its reinforcement unit, hollow, multilayered and spirally-wound bast fiber, plays an extremely important role in its mechanical behavior. In recent years, the development of biocomposites from biodegradable polymers and natural fibers have attracted great interests in the composite science, because they could allow complete degradation in soil or by composting process and do not emit any toxic or noxious components. For the past several years, public attention has gone to natural fibers as a resource due to their fast growth. Bamboo is an abundant natural resource in Asia and South America, because it takes only several months to grow up. It has been traditionally used to construct various living facilities and tools. The high strength with respect to its weight is derived from fibers longitudinally aligned in its body. Therefore, bamboo fibers are often called ‘natural glass fiber’. To practically apply the benefit of bamboo fibers, it is necessary to develop a process to fabricate bamboo composites as well as to extract qualitatively controlled fibers from bamboo trees. However, it is difficult to extract bamboo fibers having its superior mechanical properties. The bamboo fiber is often brittle compared with other natural fibers, because the fibers are covered with lignin. Objectives 1. The biodegradable and environmental friendly...

...Introduction The Modern Society of today cares about their physical appearance to some extent that, sometimes one ought to ask whether these are very important than what is inside us. The media has branded the idea on people’s minds. While magazines and television certainly heighten their consciousness of looks. There can be no doubt that most people in the world would like to be physically attractive.

For a lot it would have to be said that it’s an inordinate amount of time and money and that it is an obsession it’s just because that people feel a responsibility to fit into today's society, they want to look as better as possible due to the outside influences one has. People’s desire for physical beauty, while shaped and polished by the superficial media culture rather than just having a nice personality, actually has deeper roots in who they are. This desire for physical appearance is an original human feeling, like the desire for food, nurturing, or happiness according to Studies. In this times this even includes surgical procedures to correct perceived faults in the face or body they have been given. Before, only the rich and famous people or those with severe deformities, birthmarks and injuries would have any kind of cosmetic surgery. Now it’s becoming...

...Barriers to Critical Thinking HUM/115 One external barrier that was evident in my home was the lack was the inability to even think I could ask my father a question. My father was the adult there for it was what he said and that was it. This was crippling for me, I did not get to grow up and be that child that asked so many questions and receive answers. What I did to cope with this void and barrier in my life was dive into gaming, though it was a temporary get away from reality; it was just what I needed, so I thought. Gaming bought me deeper into a place of emotional instability. To deal with and confront this barrier I used the “Self-Directed Replacement” (Ridel, 2015) method. As time went on in life I met new people who would begin to challenge my way of thinking. I met a man who gave me advice and shared wisdom with me on how to raise my children. I have a pastor who is finishing up his masters in family counseling (children, teens, marriages, young adults). These are the men who I have chosen to look at as role models and even impart some wisdom. My father, today, speaks to me more now than ever before. I love him, he took care of my three other brothers when my mom decided to walk out on us. One internal barrier was my emotions. It was easier for me to fill a void with gaming then begin to peel back the layers of my life and hurt. Gaming became my crutch and comfort; I allowed it to keep me in a state of quick fix. I was never really willing to critically think...

...The Unabomber's focal and deadly conclusion can be summed up as: Technological society is incongruent with individual freedom and must hence be destroy and replaced by primitive society so individuals will be free once more. I think the judgement and action taken by Read Ted Kaczynski was irrational, influenced by the Unabomber's emotional sickness. Notwithstanding, just piece of the manifesto was straightforwardly identified with this conclusion; a significant part of the rest is sound rational, whether one concurs with it or not. The statement is fundamentally incorrect, technology may make problems that may hurt us. But it is absolutely unacceptable to claim that technology creates more problems than it solve it, or to claim that the net effect of technology is negative. When you are gathering with families or friends, who are all caught up with messaging and checking their telephones, or when its a splendidly sunny day and the children are inside, playing on their xboxes or their PCs, it is anything but difficult to offer into the possibility that innovation has incredible potential for damage. Impenetrability of technology makes ordinary persons nowadays less conscious about their living conditions. Dieguez, A.L. (2009) claimed that technology by itself cannot fill our lives but it helps us live, but it cannot provide us with goals for life. Be that as it may, I immovably trust in advancement, I accept that we are all in all better off with our technological advances...

...NAME; KEVIN KAMAU MUKONO REG NO; HD231-6231/2012 COURSE; BACHELOR OF COMMERCE UNIT; TAXATION UNIT CODE; HBC 2211 GROUP I ASSIGNMENT 1 TASK; Explain the fiscal policies reforms the government has undertaken over the years in respect to tax reforms In Kenya. Kenya’s tax system has undergone more or less continual reform over the last twenty years. On the policy side, rate schedules have been rationalized and simplified, a new value-added tax introduced, and external tariffs brought in line with those of neighboring countries in East Africa. At the same time, administrative and institutional reforms have taken place. Most notable among these was the creation of the semi-autonomous Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) in 1995, which centralized the administration of tax collection. Kenya relied on unified tax policies and an administrative system jointly administered by the initial three members of the EAC. This was a legacy of British colonial administration that all the three countries inherited at independence. At that point, the government’s three main sources of tax revenue were: income tax; customs and excise duties; and inland revenue. Changes in both policies and administration were collaboratively determined and minimal until early 1970s. Following a decision to assign responsibility for income tax to each EAC member state, Kenya adopted the community legislation and enacted the Income Tax Act of 1973. The pragmatic post-independence political economy choices of the...
