It is a rainy Monday
It is a rainy Monday. Rajinthan has to go to the shire (a large racing planet) and his dad has to go to work. Through the window he could see the rain trickle and sparkle, as he got dressed. Occasionally natural weather comes back, when the environment computer crashes. Everything Rajinthan had to know was implanted in his brain at birth so he does not have to go to school. He can experience anything in a virtual reality program. His dad shares a desk with a hundred people. Since robots do most of the work at his business, human staffs are lucky to get in once a year. He hopped onto a solid, light bubble that was going to take him to the shire. At the shire, he was going to race a bonti named Herbert. The bonti were a new breed of animals, which had been discovered in the year 2500. The bonti were small and slow. He had been the one who had challenged Herbert. The race started and Rajinthan had already finished 35meters when Herbert had only taken his first step. Nobody knew that Rajinthan was cheating. He was wearing Jet-Foot trainers which made you go really fast and it had a brain of it's own. Half way through the race, when Rajinthan was still far ahead of Herbert, the Jet-Foot trainers suddenly stopped. Rajinthan tried to take off the Jet-Foot trainers and run the last 10,000meters using his own feet but they would not come off. He tried and tried but it would not
Original writing - Journey To Newquay.
Journey To Newquay The screeching alarm that made my flesh crawl every morning woke me at seven o'clock sharp. However, this particular morning I didn't feel quite so bad as I was preparing to leave for potentially the greatest holiday of my life; eleven mates in Newquay for a week of non-stop partying, hedonistic? Maybe but I was more concerned with getting there first. As followed my usual morning routine I thought of Wessy, James and Minns who were flying down to Newquay, my thoughts quickly returned to Alex, Morehen, Heddle, Greenall and myself and the eight-hour train journey we faced and I felt a shudder of envy. In the weeks preceding the holiday I had been kidding myself that the train journey would be a blast, we would be able to walk around and stretch our legs and go to the buffet car and eat whenever we pleased. The reality though was somewhat different. At ten to eight Morehen and his Mum pulled up outside my house in their family car affectionately named "The Bush Whacker". Morehen created much hype about this monstrous vehicle, as it had previously been the property of the boxer Frank Bruno, which he insisted on telling every person who travelled in it. I grabbed my bulging suitcase and equally full rucksack and jumped in the back pausing to say goodbye to my frantic mother who was looking rather worried at the prospect of me going away without her. After a
Perception - the interpretation of information.
Perception Perception is the interpretation of information, which we receive through our senses. We all receive sensory information, like smells, sounds or noises. We can also make sense of them, both consciously and unconsciously. This therefore allows us to fit the new information in with other things that we already know. As part of studying human beings we need to be able to explain both how the similarities have come about and also how the differences happen. The study of perception is one of the most advanced areas of psychology. Many perceptual processes, especially those involving vision and audition, are well understood and provide a vital bridge between neuroscience and behavioral science. But much more must be learned. One major mystery is how we identify the shapes of things, the configuration of contours and edges that populate our visual world with poodles, people, potholes, and Picassos. Another is how we move from identifying the shapes of objects to identifying the objects themselves. A third is how perception is influenced by a person's experiences, motives, expectations, and goals. Psychologists consider that people have come to be who they are as a result of two sources of influence: Firstly, their biological make up, and secondly the experiences which they encounter throughout life. This debate is called the nature - nurture debate. Within this essay the

A journal by one of the characters in the text reflecting his or her personal dilemma. Dear: Journal, It's Biff here, I need your help. I have this major dilemma; I don't know what to do. I really need your help. My father is trying to kill himself and I don't know how to stop him. My mother told me one night that my pop was dying, but I didn't really understand. Then she eventually told me that there was a rubber pipe in the basement where there is gas, he tries to kill himself with that. There is also those car accidents that I've told you about, well, the insurance people are saying that their not really 'accidents', they are saying my pal is doing it on purpose, and that he is suicidal. I didn't believe it at first until I saw the rubber pipe for myself. I took it away immediately; I can't just leave it there and watch him die. I love him, I really do. I remember the time I went to Boston and I caught him cheating on my mom, I didn't want to disappoint him because I flunked math, so I went down there, but I only set myself up for a big fall. At this point I realized that my father was a phoney. I couldn't stand him, I hated him, and I don't think I would have cared if he died because he betrayed his family, but he was my hero. Journal, I don't know what I should do. Should I confront him and talk to him about it or should I just leave it alone. I don't want him to die,
In 'A Question of Blood' by Ian Rankin Detective Inspector John Rebus has been asked to advise in a case which involves a former member of the SAS (Special Air Services) which Rebus has tried to join in the past.
In 'A Question of Blood' by Ian Rankin Detective Inspector John Rebus has been asked to advise in a case which involves a former member of the SAS (Special Air Services) which Rebus has tried to join in the past. In this essay I am going to study the that Inspector Rebus is called into the investigation and how he starts to take control of the investigation and calls it his own while being on investigation himself. The book starts off with Rebus in the Accident and Emergency department of the Infirmary being treated for scalded hands for falling in a bath of scalding hot water. This is what links Rebus with the investigation as he was seen drinking with a man who had been harassing his colleague and close friend Siobhan Clarke. The same man died in a chip pan fire just after Rebus had left which leaves everyone in Lothian and Borders Police suspicious of him as it seems the only people who would know that to get rid off evidence would be to light the chip pan are the Police and the Fire Brigade. This also leaves Rebus's moves being watched. While this investigation has been started, another one is already underway. There has been a shooting at Port Edgar Public School in South Queensferry in which two school children were killed and one other injured by a man with a gun who shot himself after doing this atrocity. The gunman was later found to be a former member of the SAS
A Life in the Day.
A Life in the Day Oh God! There goes that stupid alarm again. Now I've got to get up and go to school. I get up and throw myself into a refreshing shower to wake me up for the day ahead. In the shower I remember about all the homework I haven't done or the detentions I have to go to. I hear my mum shouting "Are you up yet". I reply with a simple "Yeah". I drag my "still tired" body into my room, turn my radio on and pull some clean clothes on. I look out of my window to see the usual cloudy drizzle it looks as though it will clear up fortunately. I stumble downstairs to find some burnt toast. I throw it away and pour myself some cereal. The milk is a bit off but I can live with the fairly sour minging taste. I quickly rush upstairs to brush my teeth. After I go downstairs to get my bag ready. Usually I can't find one or two books but today I had them all. I saw I had PE but I couldn't find my PE kit. I looked in my mum and dad's room. They had just come out of the wash and were all wet. So there was nothing I could do about it. I would have to face another detention. Finally, I was ready to leave. I step out to face the cold morning. I go meet my friends at the bus stop. We wait for the bus. The antique bus finally approaches. The driver looks at me with a dirty look and murmurs "You'd better behave" I mean, me! I would never misbehave. I walk off
The Pay Phone Problem
The Pay Phone Problem Introduction This coursework is about finding all the possible combinations for putting money in to payphones using various different coins and using those results to try to find a formula that works so you would successfully be able to predict how many coins you would have to put in the payphone for the next total without having to go through all the listings. Objective ) A woman is going to make a phone call costing any multiple of 10p. I am going to investigate the number of different ways she could put the 10p and 20p coins into the payphone. 2) A man also wants to use the pay phone. He has plenty of 10p and 50p coins. He has no other coins. He wishes to make a telephone call costing any multiple of 10p. I am going to investigate the number of different ways he has of entering the 10p and 50p coins into the telephone. 3) I will then investigate the more general cases 0p's and 20p's Results Amount Spent (p) Ways of putting the coins in (p) Total number of ways 0 0. 20 20, 0+10. 2 30 20+10, 0+20, 0+10+10. 3 40 20+20, 20+10+10, 0+20+10, 0+10+20, 0+10+10+10. 5 50 20+20+10, 20+10+20, 0+20+20, 20+10+10+10, 10+20+10+10, 10+10+20+10, 10+10+10+20, 10+10+10+10+10. 8 60 20+20+20, 20+20+10+10, 20+10+20+10, 20+10+10+20, 0+20+20+10, 0+20+10+20, 0+10+20+20, 20+10+10+10+10, 0+20+10+10+10, 0+10+20+10+10,
The Payphone Problem
This coursework is about finding all the possible combinations for putting in to Payphones various different coins and using those results to try to find a Formula that Works so you would successfully be able to predict how many coins you would have to Put in the payphone for the next total without having to go through all the listings. I Have tried to set all the possible listings into an easy to read and an easy to follow Pattern so that if I have made any mistakes they are easy to see. There are three parts To this coursework, the first 2 parts are an investigation into specific coins used and After the first 2 investigations there is a formula that works for those coins. The third Investigation is a more general case, showing shortcuts and also the relevance of prime Numbers to the formula's from the first 2 cases. Investigation 1 This investigation is to try and find a formula for putting in 10p and 20p coins into a Payphone. The formula will be used to predict the next number in the sequence without Having to do all the listings. Below are all the listings up to 50p. These are all the combinations for 10p. 0p There is only 1 combination for 10p. These are all the combinations for 20p. 0 10 20 There are 2 combinations for 20p These are all the combinations for 30p 0 10 10 20 10 0 20 There are 3 combinations for 30p These are all the combinations
The payphone Problem
The payphone Problem Michelle torez- "I will be investigating a pay phone problem in which I will be using some information and my knowledge to guide me. I will have to make predictions and conclusion's and use tables to show my work." A pay phone will take only 10p, 20p, 50p and £1 coins. A woman has plenty of 10p and 20p coins. She has no other coins. She can put the coins into the pay phone in any other. Question? . The woman is going to make a phone call costing any multiple of 10p. Investigate the number of different ways she could put 10p and 20p coins into the payphone. Prediction I predict that my table will have a relationship and show me how to find a sequence or the nth term. Table. Amount of money Ways of putting it in (in order)/ No of ways to put it in (in order) 0p 0p 20p 0p + 10p 20p 2 1+1 30p 0p + 10p + 10p 20p + 10p 0p + 20p; 3 1+2 40p 0p + 10p + 10p + 10p 20p + 20p 20p + 10p + 10p 0p + 20p + 10p 0p + 10p + 20p 5 1+1+3 50p 0p + 10p + 10p + 10p + 10p 20p + 20p + 10p 0p + 20p + 20p 20p + 10p + 20p 20p + 10p + 10p + 10p 0p + 20p + 10p + 10p 0p + 10p + 20p + 10p 0p + 10p + 10p + 20p 8 1+3+4 60p 0p + 10p + 10p + 10p + 10p + 10p 20p + 20p + 20p 20p + 20p + 10p + 10p 0p + 20p + 20p + 10p 0p + 10p + 20p + 20p 20p + 10p + 10p + 20p 0p + 20p + 10p + 20p 20p + 10p + 20p +10p 20p + 10p + 10p + 10p + 10p 0p + 20p + 10p

There are multiple factors which affect the speed of a parachute e.g. (a) the surface area of the parachute, (b) the length of each string (between the parachute and mass), which might control the volume of air under the parachute, (c) the mass contained within the basket, (d) the distribution of mass, i.e. perhaps on the parachute itself as opposed to on strings attached to the parachute (this of course would not be a continuous variable so it would not be of great value) and of course, (e) the height from which the parachute is dropped. I predict that a heavier amount of mass in the basket will cause the parachute to fall faster and the higher the parachute is dropped from, the longer the time until impact. Although all objects fall at a rate of 32 feet per second per second, they all have what is known as a terminal
