Tessellations
... about two hundred years passed before new scientific studies about tessellations was made.
Tessellation In Science
Beside from being studied in math or geometrical studies, tessellations and tilling have been study with x-ray crystallography. X-ray crystallography is a science with the repeating arrangements of identical objects as found in nature, sound familiar? Of course! This is very similar to the definition of tessellation. Interestingly, the discoveries made with x-ray crystallography during the mid-20th century are similar to many of the discoveries the artist M. C. Escher made while designing for his tessellated artwork.
Several other scientific ...

Norway 2
... broken by fertile valleys , small , scattered plains and coastlines deeply indented by fjords. The highest point of Norway at 2472 m is Glittertind and the lowest at0 m is the Norwegian Sea.
About two-thirds of Norway are mountainous and about 50000 small islands lying around its coast. Norway has always depended on its relations with foreign countries.
Glaciation and many other forces in time have worn down the surface to create thick sandstone, conglomerate, and limestone deposits known as sparagmite, as well as other numerous extensive areas called peneplains whose relief has been largely eroded. Remains of the latter include the Hardanger Plateau, which is ...

Boxing: Down For The Count
... us to the one inevitable conclusion: considering boxing as a
respectable sport just flies in the face of decency and civilization and
therefore, it should be banned. Somehow, boxers and supporters have deluded
themselves into thinking that boxing, when properly conducted, is safe. The
classic justification goes something like this: "[b]oxers are not two brawling
brutes seeking to maim or kill each other. [t]hey are two closely matched
athletes seeking, through the use of such skills an footwork, timing, accuracy,
punching, and feinting, to determine who is the better man in the ring" (Farley
26). Unfortunately, dead boxers tell a different story. A study on dangerou ...

The Curse Of Right And Wrong
... Jefferson faced longstanding rumors about sexual involvement with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings. President Grover Cleveland laid to rest accusations about fathering an illegitimate child by taking responsibility for that child. In recent years politicians have been caught with prostitutes and survived. Others have admitted to infidelity and seen their political careers plummet. The fact that morality seems to be in decline may be, in large part, due to the media. Advancements in technology have made it possible for peoples lives to be quickly and more widely known; therefore, making the public more aware of what is happening.
When Americans look for so ...

The Gender Gap
... a large food importer was complaining that his senior women have a tendency to come into his office, 'dump' all their problems and leave. Frustrated he says - "I pay them to solve problems, not give them back to me".This is a typical example of the different way men and women operate. The woman is simply discussing the issues with him. She knows she needs to find the answers but talking about it helps her work out the solutions.Meanwhile he has moved straight into solution mode. "Once I'm told about a problem I have to solve it". The result is he's feeling frustrated because he now thinks he's got to do her job. She's feeling frustrated because she thinks he is tak ...

Divorce
... it is wrong and unfair. In the teenage drama, "Dawson's Creek", the main character's mother is caught having an affair with her co-worker. When asked why she cheated, she replies, "I had a perfect life" and admits that she longed for the feeling of needing something. In spite of the fact that it is just a television show, these instances do occur at a less exaggerated and realistic level. Adultery always breaks the trust in a marriage and
often creates hatred toward the unfaithful spouse.
Love. Does it even exist? Can people truly love the same person the same way for the rest of their lives? The phrase "I don't love you anymore", is frequently used as a reas ...

Abercrombie And Fitch's Ads
... her face is softer and petite looking. The clothing the person is wearing is advertised later in the catalogue as ³womenıs² clothing. The hair on the subject is longer- which by cultural standards defines a woman. The person on the right can be defined as a man from his squared-jaw and Adamıs apple. One thing that could confuse gender roles would be the ³maleıs² shaved legs. The male is wearing a snowboard, which in todayıs society is considered a male-dominated sport, while the female is wearing the traditional skis. This is the only ³normal² male-female relationship status we see as an audience.
The two seem ³in their own world,² yet they are putting on ...

The Ethical Delimma Of Journal
... and painful facts to someone. Furthermore, some of information is still inappropriate and dangerous for public to know (Klaidman &Beauchamp, 1987, p.11).
The example of rape case would vigorously illustrate the importance of media law and the absence of journalism morality. Since the Criminal Justice Act 1988 there is restriction to keep rape complainants as anonymous in an effort to improve the rate of reporting to police. Once person has alleged as a victim of rape offence neither name nor address nor picture would be published or broadcast. However, there are three important exceptions to anonymity rule. Firstly, person may consent revealing of infor ...

Experimenter Expectancy Effect On Children In A Classroom Setting
... effect was that of the horse known as Clever
Hans. It seemed to be able to read, spell, and solve math problems by kicking
his leg a number of times. The horse was tested and passed, but what the
experts did not realize was that their own hopes for the horse to answer the
questions, were giving the horse signs on which he based his answers. That is,
if someone on the committee raised his/her eyebrows in anticipation of the
oncoming correct answer, the horse would stop stomping. Once again, the
experimenter's cues decided the outcome of the tests. Acting on these results,
Rosenthal and Jacobson hypothesized that teacher's expectancies would cause them ...
