...Polyamory Polyamory “from the root words Poly meaning many and Amour meaning love hence "many loves”." In other words people who love more than one person at a time but not only love but claim to be in love with all these people. And I feel like loving someone and being in love are two different things. Polyamory is said to be the “non-possessive, honest, responsible and ethical philosophy and practice of loving multiple people simultaneously.” (Polyamory Society) Not to be mistaken with swinging or what is “also known as wife swapping or partner swapping. It is also a non-monogamous behavior, in which partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with others as a recreational or social activity.” People who participate in the lifestyle of polyamory live by a lot of rules. The rules vary but some are about whom will be allowed within the relationship, how people will conduct themselves within those relationships, and who will or won’t use protection with what partners. It is said that if you’re a cheater this lifestyle isn’t for you but I believe it’s just the opposite. Please do not get me wrong, I am not trying to knock anyone for their lifestyle but this seems more pleasure oriented than an emotional attachment. It’s supposed to leave room for you to explore different loves and not to close yourself off from loving or being loved in return. But I also think it does just that. It doesn’t give you the ability to fully love someone. As I stated earlier...

So we can ask how the 60s became a famous decade ? Fisrt, in the 60s lots of revolution and new kinds of hereos appear in music, fashion. In a second part, big changes, in equalty women/men new technologies, industry. In fact, in the 60s fashion became an important because of the start of consumer society and the whishe to copy the raising celebrities like twiggy the supermodel. People could choice between differents kind of styles. In class we listen an audio document which introduce the main styles in the 60s, the rockers with black clotthes and chains, the hippies with flowers and casual clothes and the mods which start thanks to Mary Quant and the mini skirt. It was a famous decade also because of the music became an important part of the british decade, the brand new bands like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones or the Who, and the music from America. Other hereos were born, the pirates DJs, the text page 34 show us the djs broadcast rock music and commercial which was ban on official radios like Bbc, poeple loved those radio because it was new and they feel like rebel because they disobey to the law. The pirates radio changes things because people start to open their cultural opinion. But the 60s change also in the lifestyle. In class we listen a recording, where people...

Ajaegbo Aquaculture Nutrition Unit, Department of Marine Sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka-Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria. Accepted 16 December, 2009 Feeding frequency effect on growth performance, feed utilization and economic viability of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings and juveniles were studied under natural photoperiods of 12/12 h light/dark cycle using a complete random design. Triplicate group of 10 fish with an initial mean weight of 8.5 ± 0.1 g and 34.3 ± 0.1 g respectively per tank (measuring 52 x 33.5 x 21 cm). A commercial feed (COPPENS) with crude protein of 42% and ether extract 12% was fed for 8 weeks over four feeding frequencies studied (once, twice, thrice and four times). Mean weight gain, relative growth rate and the specific growth rate were all significantly different (P < 0.05) across feeding levels except at thrice and four times feeding levels. The feed conversion ratio was lowest on three times a day feeding level both for the juvenile and fingerling (0.66 and 0.73, respectively). Although net profit value, in both juvenile and fingerling group are not significantly different, the investment cost analysis and the gross profit between fish fed thrice and four times are equally not significantly (P > 0.05) different. The results of this experiment, both at the juvenile...

...moon is 0 m/s2, and the acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s2 and on the moon its 1.6 m/s2,, we can determine the velocity on Earth. This value for the velocity will be the same on both the Earth and the moon therefore we have enough information to determine the displacement on the moon. The Olympic record for the women’s high jump on the Earth is 2.06 meters and the Olympic record for the women’s high jump on the moon would be 12.6175 meters. WEIGHTLIFTING When the Olympics are held on the moon and the weightlifting event takes place, the results on the moon will be better than the results on the Earth. This is due to the fact that even though the mass of the weights is going to be the same on both the Earth and the moon, the weights will be different. Because of the force of gravity will be less on the moon, the weights will seem lighter than they really are on the moon. Because we know the gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2 and the women’s record for weightlifting is 97.5 kilograms, we can from there determine the amount of force the...

... These sports figures that I mentioned have been named as greats in their perspective sport and they did not get there by just talent alone. As I was growing up playing football, I wanted to be just like Walter Payton. The moves that he would perform on the football field week in and week out were amazing to my eyes and wanted to be just like him. Walter Payton had the total package; he had the moves, the strength and the speed to make defenders miss or he was able to just run right through a defender or outrun anyone trying to chase him down. He was just pure poetry on the football field. I was a good sized young football player up until the age of 13 when I stopped growing. I had the strength, because of doing push-ups and lifting weights, while my moves were also great because I practiced them every week. The only problem that I had left was becoming a faster back like Walter Payton. I have tried many different ways to get faster and faster, but nothing seemed to work the way that I would have liked it to work. My 40 yard dash time was steady at a 4.75sec. In order for me to be effective and use my speed as I got older I would need to get my 40 yard dash time down to a 4.5sec or lower. I have done exercise after exercise, I even signed up for Track and...

...Louise Mallard to achieve personal freedom—either she or her husband must die. Having no personal freedom, the only way Mrs. Mallard could express her lack of freedom through a physical illness. Someone can choose to die, in a moment, as an escape to freedom. Mrs. Mallard’s death was a result of her loss of the freedom she had, when she supposed Mr. Mallard dead. Upon hearing the news of her husband’s death, Mrs. Mallard lets out a brief cry. Then she quickly retreats to her room where time seems to slow. The choice of words used by Chopin “sank”, “pressed down”, “roomy armchair”, “haunted her body” pulls us to empathize with her life which sounds, heavy and burdensome, and it’s been this way for a long time. They weight is not the weight of her loss, it is the weight of her life. As, Mrs. Mallard sits in her chair, She views nature and life going on outside her window. She sees and experiences freedom, a contradiction to her life with Mr. Mallard She begins to realize that Tension grow as she is sitting in the chair and at the same time being pulled out of it; There is something coming towards her that she would have to fight off. However, she accepts this something, which is her new freedom from her marriage, the thing that was exhausting her life weighing her down. While, Mrs. Mallard would “weep again” when she saw her husband in his casket, the burden of her life with him was clear. She hints at his cruelty, his “powerful will bending hers with a blind persistence” ...

Therefore, we are mathematically correct in diagram B. Diagram C (Computation of the weight of meter stick) T1= (F1) (d1) = (0.1kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.15m) = 0.147 N-m or 0.15 N-m T2= (F2) (d2) = (0.2kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.12m) = 0.2352 N-m or 0.24 N-m Torque 1 and 2 are not equal in mathematical method. Therefore, there were errors in balancing the two loads. APPLICATIONS A. Explain the condition below 1. It is much easier to carry a weight in your hand when your arm is at your side than it is when your arm is stretching out in front of you. Use the concept of torque to explain this effect. * When your arm is stretching out in front of you, any weight force exerted on your hand is at right angle to the lever arm between your shoulder and hand and produces a large torque above your shoulder. On the other hand, when your arm is at your side, any weight force exerted on your hand is directed away from your shoulder and produces no torque above your shoulder. B. Analyze the following situations. Show a diagram of the torque in each problem. Box your final answer. 1. A 15-kg child and a 25-kg child at ends of a 4m seesaw pivoted at its center. Where should a third child of 10 kg sit...

...limit it to just the total or average Perception score. This is called SERVPERF and is used when Expectations are likely to be all the same (typically high). Weights can be applied here as well. STEPS TO OBTAIN UNWEIGHTED SERVQUAL SCORE Step 1. Select a business the service quality of which you want to assess. Using the SERVQUAL instrument, first obtain the score for each of the 22 expectation questions. Next, obtain a core for each of the perception questions. Calculate the Gap Score each of the statements (Gap Score = Perception – Expectation). Step 2. Obtain an average Gap Score for each dimension by assessing the Gap Scores for each of the statements that constitute the dimension and dividing the sum by the number of statements making up the dimension. Step 3. In TABLE 1 transfer the average dimension SERVQUAL scores (for all five dimensions) from the SERVQUAL instrument. Sum up the scores and divide it by five to obtain the unweighted measure of service quality. STEPS TO OBTAIN THE WEIGHTED SERVQUAL SCORE Step 1. In Table 2 calculate the importance weights for each of the five dimensions constituting the SERVQUAL scale. (The instructions are provided along with the table). Step 2. In Table 3 enter the average SERVQUAL score for each dimension (from Table 1) and the importance weight for each dimension (from Table 2). Then...
