My aims throughout this investigation are for each step stair is to investigate the relationship between the stairs and the position of the step stair.
Math's Coursework The Problem We have been set a problem which is to investigate step stairs. Throughout this report I will be planning how to tackle the problem, break it down simpler into an equation. All the results will be put into tables so I can look for a pattern. I will then produce my own rule to use and test and justify it. The problem to which I am solving is creating my own rule to use to calculate the 3step-stair. My aims throughout this investigation are for each step stair is to investigate the relationship between the stairs and the position of the step stair. To make sure my rule is correct I will change the step size or grid size and work out the formula again. Aims and Objectives * For other 3-step stairs, investigate the relationship between the stair total and the position of the stair shape on the grid. * Investigate further the relationship between the stair total and the other step stairs on other number grids. 3 Step-Stairs Look at the stair shape drawn on the 10 by 10 number Grid below. 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 841 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 2 3 4
The elegies highlight the barrier between signifier and signified, between the language of grief and the subjective sense of loss(TM) (Champion). Analyse the language of grief
The 'elegies highlight the barrier between signifier and signified, between the language of grief and the subjective sense of loss' (Champion). Analyse the 'language of grief' in at least two Old English elegies, considering the extent to which it influences your own interpretation of the poems and the difficulties it may pose. The rather abrupt transition from the speaker's situation to the ending homilies in The Seafarer and The Wanderer has led to questioning of whether the final lines of both elegies are foreign additions to them or not. Recent criticism seems to suggest that the reluctance to accept the poem as unsullied has waned. Rising forth from this acceptance of the poem's structure is the emergence of many theories that claim to reconcile the initial themes of the poems with the concluding sermon-like Christian endings. The 'language of grief' and the difficulties it poses strongly influenced my perception that the poems are structurally designed to progress towards the ending homilies. The speaker in The Wanderer addresses his sense of loss whilst he is at sea, providing an objective correlative for his state of exile. This becomes more potent when the speaker dreams of a happier time in the hall with his Lord. When he awakes the speaker finds himself in the company only of sea birds and fallow waves, not only pointing to a sharp contrast between his situation
'Risk aversion does not mean that people and institutions are not willing to take risks. However, they need to be compensated for taking risk.' Explain and discuss.
'Risk aversion does not mean that people and institutions are not willing to take risks. However, they need to be compensated for taking risk.' Explain and discuss Risk aversion can be defined as the avoidance of risk. Risk averters are those who do not wish to take risks, when facing choices of comparable returns they tend to chose the less risky alternative. In any financial system varying degrees of risk exist so there is no way to successfully avoid it altogether, but the principle that transactors seek to minimise risk forms the basis of risk aversion. It is important to understand the economic characteristics of the risk averter before assessing their actions within the financial market. Individuals and institutions have different appetites for risks. Risk avertors are at one end of the scale avoiding risk, risk lovers at the other and risk neutrals sit in the middle1. Financial intermediaries channel funds from one set of agents to another2, and seek to invest the capital they receive in the most profitable way. They take full advantage of the problems and uncertainties faced by investors, the main one being that of asymmetric information. This exists because different people and institutions have different levels of knowledge and information about financial markets and future expectations. Financial intermediaries not only have considerable experience in
USSR under Stalin
Velyana Borisova Paper 1: The USSR under Stalin, 1924 to 1941 . a) What do the statistics in Source E on the consumption of foodstuffs and the numbers of livestock, suggest about the lives of peasants between 1928 and 1932? From the statistics in source E it can be seen that the consumption of all main foodstuff as bread, potatoes, meat and butter decreases significantly between 1928 and 1932. The fall in the consumption of all food goods foreshadows that the life of the peasants worsen, they have less for eating which lowers their standards of living. They are required to work intensively for the collectivisation plan but at the same time are consuming less food which suggest bad conditions of living as famine and often death cases due to hunger. The most serious decrease is in the consumption of meat and lard which in 1932 is less than half of the amount in 1928. This fall can be explained by the decrease in the numbers of livestock from 1928 till 1932. When there is less livestock this means that the peasants will consume less meat because there will be less animals to slaughter. Also because they are owned by the state the peasants will not be allowed to kill them for meat so freely. The decrease in livestock suggests decrease in milk, cheese and butter which are essential products and their lack causes bad quality of life for the peasants. b) What do the percentages
Math IA - Logan's Logo
IBO INTERNAL ASSESMENT LOGAN'S LOGO MATHEMATICS SL TYPE II INTRODUCTION Logan has designed the logo at the right. The diagram shows a square which is divided into three regions by two curves. The logo is the shaded region between the two curves. He wishes to find mathematical functions that model these curves. In order to find these functions, we will need to overlay the logo on graph paper, so we can interpret data points to be able to plot them. Take note that in the "modeling the data" in the next section, the logo was not resized, but set as transparent so that data points could be read. Also, take into consideration the uncertainty of the measurements (± 0.25 units). For modeling purposes, the uncertainties are not included in the data calculations; however this should not be overlooked. MODELING THE DATA NOTE: Data tables and their graphs are included on the next page. TOP CURVE : In order to find a function to model the top curve, there are various methods that we can use. One is to overlay the logo onto a set of axes and estimate points for the function. Once we obtain these points, we can then plot them onto a new set of axes. Judging from the logo itself, at first glance it appears that a sine function would fit the data. The sine function would have to undergo a series of transformations to eventually fit the curve. Using the axes and logo depicted

Title: "An effective coaching relationship ¦ can motivate clients and unstuck the stuck. People come to coaching for lots of different things but the bottom line is change" (Co-Active Coaching " L. Whitworth, Jkimsey-House, P. Sandahl). Course: Advanced Diploma in Personal and Executive Coaching Coaching creates a channel of self discovery for the client, so that they can find within themselves a greater understanding of what creates fulfilment and happiness and balance in all areas of their life to achieve their highest dreams and ambitions. The Coaching relationship is a powerful relationship that proves a secure space for a client to open themselves up to possibilities and opportunities in their life. We all have the answers within ourselves. We know what we need and want in our life, coaching provides a place where we can tap into our inner knowing to find these answers in order to achieve our goals and dreams in life. Coaching is a wonderful relationship that gives a client an opportunity to learn about themselves to enable them to move forward and leave behind negative behaviours or thoughts that limit their true potential. I believe it is so important for all of us to have the opportunity in life to create a positive vision for our future and learn to enjoy the whole journey we embark on to fulfil our goals in life.

History – Elvis Presley Sources
History - Elvis Presley Sources Question ) What can you learn from source A about Elvis Presley's impact on popular music in the USA in 1955? Source A shows that Presley had a great impact on America. I know this because the article shown in source A is from 'Billboard', a prestigious US music magazine. The fact that an article on Elvis features in the magazine already shows the popularity of Elvis in the states. Also, the title to the article is in large black capitals, indicating the article is important or of interest to many readers. The title also shows the popularity of him as it says, "A WINNER! PRESLEY AS HOT AS $1 PISTOL!" The fact that the magazine says that he is as hot as a $1 pistol probably describes Elvis for what he was, like a $1 pistol he was popular, dangerous, forbidden and controversial. The article also says that Elvis is the hottest artist on the RCA Victor label. As at the time the RCA Victor label was the biggest and the best at that time, being on the label was an attribute in itself, but being described as the "Hottest" artist on the biggest American label proves his popularity. Elvis is also described as the "amazing country warbler". The article goes on to state how six of Elvis's hit singles are on the company's hit list of top-25 best sellers, and that Elvis's coupling of "Heartbreak Hotel" and "I Was The One" is the labels' number two best

A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW ON PARENTAL SUBSTANCE MISUSE AND CHILD CARE SOCIAL WORK: FINDINGS FROM THE FIRST STAGE OF A STUDY OF 100 FAMILIES. BY DONALD FORRESTER AND JUDITH HARWIN, CHILD AND FAMILY SOCIAL WORK 2006, Vol. 11, pp325-335 The literature I will be critically reviewing is an article entitled, "Parental substance misuse and child care social work: findings from the first stage of a study of 100 families". It was written by Donald Forrester and Judith Harwin. Donald Forrester was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Social Work at the time the article was published in January 2006. He has written a number of articles on the subject of Parental Substance Misuse (PSM) of which three are included in my 50 literature search. The second author, Judith Harwin is a Professor of Social Work, Department of Health and Social Care at Brunel University in the UK at the time of publication. One of the aims of this article is to address the lack of British research on the topic by reporting on the first stage of a study of all cases allocated for long-term work in four London local authorities over one year. The study focused on cases in which there was alleged misuse of drugs and/or alcohol by parents. The findings address some important questions that have received little coverage in British research so far. These include: what is the extent of parental substance misuse
