...I Volleyball Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.[1] It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since 1964. The rally continues, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches, until either (1): a team makes a kill, grounding the ball on the opponent's court and winning the rally; or (2): a team commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of the most common faults include: * Causing the ball to touch the ground outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net; * Catching and throwing the ball; * Double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player; * Four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team. * Net foul: touching the net during play. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body. History On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (USA), William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called Mintonette as a pastime to be played preferably indoors and by any number of players. The game took some of its characteristics from tennis and handball. Another indoor sport, basketball, was catching on...

The pantheon, built by the emperor Hadrian, was symbolically important. It was designed as a temple for all the roman gods. Nearly perfect in its shape, the vast dome represented the heavens which were seen by Romans as an enormous sphere. (The Pantheon, Lesley A. Dutemple. 2003).

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus, Linn) is a herbaceous hairy annual plant, belonging to the family Malvaceae. It is also a potential oil and protein crop which also has an exporting value. All parts of the okra plant are useful, its leave and tender shoots which are equally rich in nutrients can be cooked and eaten. The pods are good sources of protein a well as ascorbic acid content of 20g/100g and high level of calcium, fiber and ash. Mature seeds contain about 21% of edible oil (Foods Agricultural and Environment 2005). In the Philippines, okra contributes as much as 16 million pesos to the economy annually. Okra production in the Philippines and in other countries like Thailand where okra is an important commodity crop for the export industry. Japan imports okra during winter season from December to March, when it is not possible to plant okra. Japanese consumers prefer the ridged variety of okra. Local consumers want the smooth variety hence reject from their harvest is used for animal feeds (Justo,2010) Smooth green “a vigorous okra variety” that can be productive, even under sub optimum conditions is vigorous and are very strong in the field. It yields 21 tons/ha, harvest maturity is from 45-50 days from planting, Fruits are smooth,7-10cm long green, and slender. Smooth green is an IPB selection (Agriculture Magazine 2009). In the production of okra, all modern practices that contribute to its production are needed to be explored to increase...

...CHAPTER 9 PROJECT FINANCE AND CONTRACT PRICING In the previous chapters, techniques for project planning, scheduling, resources management, and time-cost trade off have been introduced. This chapter will deal with project cash flow to predict the actual flow of money during the contract duration. Also, this chapter will introduce the means for finalizing a contract price. A project's cash flow is basically the difference between the project's income and its expense. The difference between a company's total income and its total expense over a period of time is the company cash flow. 9.1 Contract Cash Flow At the project level, a project’s cash flow is the difference between the project’s expense and income. At the construction company level, the difference between company’s total expense and its total income over a period of time is the company’s cash flow. Cash flow = Cash in – Cash out = Income - Expense Forecasting cash flow is necessary for a construction company for the following reasons: To ensure that sufficient cash is available to meet the demands. It shows the contractor the maximum amount of cash required and when it will be required. Thus, the contractor can made arrangements to secure the required cash. It provides a reliable indicator to lending institutions that loans made can be repaid according to an agreed program. It ensures that cash resources are fully utilized to the benefit of the owner and investors in the company. Construction Management 182 ...

...Olympic sports in the early 1990’s, and ski cross became an Olympic sport for the first time at the 2010 Games (Appelbe, 2010). The mogul skiing event is a downhill event where the goal of the skier is to finish the run as fast as possible while maintaining control through a very unstable terrain filled with moguls and they also need to execute tricks and turns to impress the judges. The moguls measure approximately four feet tall and are approximately 3.5 meters apart, the slope also has two small jumps known as “kickers” due to the steep take off. Each mogul slope whether natural or man-made is different so the terrain is never exactly the same. There are several competition events for mogul skiing. However, we will be training for The Freestyle World Championships which is an event that is held every other year and our athlete will compete in the single mogul run and the dual mogul run. The dual mogul run is done with another skier on the same slope at the same time. The length of the course is around 235 meters long with an approximate slope angle of 28 degrees. All...

...Yarns Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres, suitable for use in the production of textiles, sewing, crocheting, knitting, weaving, embroidery, and rope making. Thread is a type of yarn intended for sewing by hand or machine. Modern manufactured sewing threads may be finished with wax or other lubricants to withstand the stresses involved in sewing. Embroidery threads are yarns specifically designed for hand or machine embroidery. “A yarn is an assemblage of fibres or filaments having asubstantial length and relatively small cross section, with orwithout twist, being the end product of a spinning andwinding process” Yarn may be any of the following- • Number of fibers twisted together • Number of filaments without twist • Number of filaments twisted with more/less twist •Single filament •One or more strips cut by length of a sheet of material of natural/ synthetic or any polymer Classification of Yarns TERMS Spun yarn is made by twisting or otherwise bonding staple fibres together to make a cohesive thread, or single. Spun yarns may contain a single type of fibre, or be a blend of various types. Combining synthetic fibres (which can have high strength, lustre, and fire retardant qualities) with natural fibres (which have good water absorbency and skin comforting qualities) is very common. Filament yarn consists of filament fibres (very...

...trudgen. While some of these strokes are not used competitively, they are all used for some specific purpose or sport. It was introduced as an Olympic sport in 1896 with 3 other sports that have all competed in the Olympics since. Women’s swimming was introduced sixteen years later in 1912. The first men’s medal winners were Alfred Hojas from Hungary who won gold, Wilhelmina Wylie from Australia taking silver, and Jennie Fletcher from Great Britain taking bronze. That same year in the women’s four by one hundred meter freestyle relay the British team took gold with swimmers Belle Moore, Jenni Fletcher, Annie Speirs, and Irane Steer. Germany took silver with swimmers Wally Dressel, Louise Otto, Hermine Stindt, and Grete Rosenberg. Austria took bronze with swimmers Margarete Adler, Klara Milch, Josephine Sticker, and Berta Zahourek. From 1920 to 1932 the U.S. women’s team won gold every year and did it again from 1960 to 1976. They won 3 more in a row from 1992 to 2000, so you can see why it makes sense since they have the most gold, silver, and bronze medals all time with a combined count of 257. The next closest country is Germany with 120 medals. The greatest male and female swimmers of all time are both from the USA, Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky. Both have the most gold medals for their divisions and most world championships. Ledecky has 7 gold & 3 silver medals and 26 world championships with 16 of them being in individual events. Phelps has 23 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze...

Midway through the performance, former President George Bush interrupted the performance to provide George with an award from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and the concert paused briefly as he reminisced about the first time that he set foot on Houston’s rodeo stage. The concert started with an instrumental version of “Deep in the Heart of Texas.” Including the instrumental, sixteen songs were played. They were, in order: “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” “Write This Down,” “I Can Still Make Cheyenne,” “Heartland,” “Love Without End, Amen,” “Check Yes or No,” The Fireman,” “Run,” “Murder on Music Row,” “The Chair,” “She’ll Leave You With a Smile,” “Amarillo by Morning,” “Living and Living Well,” “Take Me Back to Tulsa,” “Blue Clear Sky,” and “The...

...1946-1986 The capital crimes after regaining full sovereignty in July 1946 were murder, rape and treason. However, no executions took place until April 1950, when Julio Gullien, executed for attempting to assassinate President Manuel Roxas;. Other notable cases includes Marciál "Baby" Ama, electrocuted at the age of 16 on October 4, 1961 for murders committed while in prison for lesser charges. Ama notably became the subject of the popular 1976 film, Bitayin si... Baby Ama! (Execute Baby Ama!). Another famous case was of former powerful Governor of Negros Occidental Rafael Lacson and 22 of his allies, condemned to die in August 1954 for the murder of a political opponent. Ultimately, Lacson was never executed. In total, 51 people were electrocuted up to 1961. Execution numbers climbed under President Ferdinand Marcos, who was ironically himself sentenced to death in 1939 for murder of Julio Nalundasan—the political rival of his father, Mariano; the young Ferdinand was acquitted on appeal. A well-publicised triple execution took place in May 1972, when Jaime José, Basilio Pineda, and Edgardo Aquino were electrocuted for the 1967 abduction and gang-rape of the young actress Maggie dela Riva. The executions were ordered broadcast on national television. Under the Marcos regime, drug trafficking also became punishable with death by firing squad, such as the case with Lim Seng, whose execution in December 1972 was also ordered broadcast on national television.

Future Service Expansions of Bogota – TransMilenio System 14 Page No. 3 6 11 2 1. History of BRTS The first BRTS, inaugurated in 1974 in Curitiba, Brazil, caught the world’s attention. The city managers boldly demarcated and dedicated bus lanes on roads perceived as a privileged space for cars. These exclusive lanes improved speed and reduced travel time. Well-designed buses turned intra-city travel a pleasure. Intelligent integration of bus network and city planning reduced trip lengths. BRTS in Bogota (TransMilenio) In 18 December, 2000, the city of Bogotá in Colombia improved upon the Curitiba model and launched its own TransMilenio BRTS. Its resounding success silenced the sceptics and reiterated that wise planning does deliver. Cities were enlightened, and more and more of them reinvented their bus transport system. Ahmedabad BRTS (Janmarg) Indian cities, where the usage of private cars still constitutes a small percentage, had a wellworking bus transport in the past. But over the years, they overlooked modernisation and failed to make sufficient investments. Consequently, services quality deteriorated and as of now India offers a meagre 1.29 buses per thousand passengers, while other well-planned countries provide vastly more — Brazil has 10.3 buses per thousand.

...Exploring Distinctive Characteristics & Virtues of Coffee Varieties: The Bourbon & Pacamara Case Overview: This document explores from different angles the Bourbon variety, one of the heirloom Arabica species and the Pacamara varietal, a very intriguing hybrid. Here you will find their botanical characteristics, agricultural practices, and how their versatility and cup profile fit within the fastest growing specialty “espresso-based beverage” and exotic coffee niches. Brief Botanical Description of C. Arabica Typification: It is necessary to establish a normal variety or type variety, in order to compare against it the different mutations. In C. Arabica, the “Typica” variety had been chosen as the blueprint or pattern (Kramer). When compared to some Ethiopian types it appears that “Typica” was chosen for growing purposes because of its resistance and productivity characteristics. The word “Variety” and its equivalent “Cultivar” have been applied to coffee, as for other plants, referring to variations due to two reasons: Mutations: These are expressed as more or less abrupt changes, such as a marked deviation in height or leave shape, etc. Mutated plants are descendants from a normal one and are considered as such when they permanently keep the new type after being propagated by seed. (i.e.: Maragogipe, Pacas, Caturra, etc.) Hybrids: These are natural or artificial crosses between varieties or species. When these plants are propagated by seeds they don’t...
