THE STATE OF SPORT Tim Bowling and Jay Teitel, in their written depictions of the state of modern sport, have a lot of agreeing points on everything sport represents today in contrast to the olden days. Sport has evolved dramatically in terms of quality and motivations over the years that viewing it offers a whole different feeling these days compared to years ago. The two writers, however, seem to agree on the fact that the quality of most games has significantly deteriorated from the days before. This is due to considerable differences in physical ability and the agendas getting pushed in the background of every single sporting event that’s now on our screens. Men’s sport continues to experience staggering growth in popularity in recent times compared to women’s. The growth can get attributed to the significant gap in quality between the two games, primarily influenced by the different physical abilities of the two genders. The gulf is evident in the massive contrast in salary payments and ticket sales for men sporting events compared to those of women. The physical stature…

Do Modular Kayaks Leak? Here’s Everything You Need to Know about the Vessels If you are a kayaking enthusiast, you will agree with me that nothing brings fun than engaging in these adventures with friends and family. But it will be quite challenging if you do not have the right vessel that can accommodate all of you. With modular kayaks, you can add as many midsections as possible and convert them from solo to tandem or even multi-person vessels. You can use modular kayaks for recreation, fishing, and touring. Can the Modular Kayaks Leak? Modular kayaks are molded in individual watertight sections, which, when joined, can allow water to move in freely. You should ensure that there is no looseness in the joints, which may lead to leakage. The joints in the boats open a little beneath when the vessel is lifted from the end. However, the sections clip tightly together, preventing water from leaking, and there is, therefore, no need for any additional watertight seal. The bolts joining the sections must have sufficient gaskets to prevent any water from…

A racing shell A racing shell is not a place for a snob. Dusk lay on the river, making all things its color. Other boat houses remained lit. An old man stood on the landing, and there was only a dark shadow. At this time, the sun had already set under the west bank of Hudson. The shell was moving at its pace towards the landing appeared like a very dark shadow after being docked. That evening, Leyden had a heavy mood, and he even separated himself from the other members of the crew. Kip then gave the team an order to swing the shell out of the water, which they did and took it past Leyden. Kip Grant walked with them, and at this time, Leyden tried to comprehend his mood toward his crew colleagues but could not understand the reason for his silence. Two years before this, the university went to search for men they could sponsor into the football team as the team was weak and had failed for consecutively three years. Leyden was an athlete and…

structural steel framework   AS1684 has four parts; these include: Part 1 Design criteria; Part 2 Non-cyclonic areas; Part 3 Cyclonic areas; and Part 4 Simplified – non-cyclonic areas. This standard is the only framing standard adopted by the NCC/BCA as a deemed-to-satisfy solution for structural timber framework. However, there are other standards for structural steel framework and brickwork together with commercially based timber engineered solutions, such as the Hyspan tables we will also use.   Task   There are three sections for this assignment. Each section has some sub-questions. To answer these questions, you are required to utilise the appropriate AS1684 and Hyspan tables, floor plans and elevations, located on vUWS under Assessment 2.[unique_solution]   SECTION 1 – Wall and roof framing (17 marks)   Using the tables from AS1684, calculate the minimum size of the nominated timber members which will act as a uniform construction for the Elevation 4 wall frame of your project home.

Microbiology essay Respiratory tract illnesses are infections that affect parts of the respirational systems. These respiratory illnesses affect nasal channels, bronchi, and lungs. The bacteria responsible for these diseases include the Bordetella pertussis, Streptococcus pneumonia, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These bacteria utilize different mechanisms to cause infections. Bordetella pertussis, which is a Gram-negative and aerobic pathogen, is a causative agent of pertussis. Bordetella pertussis releases various biological antigens, which include the pertussis toxin, filamentous Hemagglutinin (FHA), Agglutinogens, Adenylate Cyclase, Pertactin, and Tracheal Cytotoxin. These elements are control pertussis that is attached to the cilia of the breathing epithelial cells and releases contaminants, which paralyzes the cilia. The significance of the Superoxide dismutase and catalase is to enable Bordetella pertussis to break the defense mechanism of the host. The anti-B Pertussis antibodies respond to Bordetella pertussis Streptococcus pneumoniae are Gram-positive bacteria, which causes pneumonia, bronchitis, otitis media, septicemia, and meningitis. It is a commensal organism, which exists in the respiratory tract without harming it (Bogaert, Debby, Ronald, and Hermans, pg. 150). The Alpha-hemolytic streptococcus pneumonia disintegrates the red blood cells…

Development of Drama in Africa Micheal Etherton in his book Development of Drama in Africa, looks at Traditional drama in contemporary society. He looks at how contemporary drama has borrowed several aspects of the traditional drama. Etherton also looks at travel theatre groups in Africa and their development.  The nature of contemporary drama in Africa can only be understood by studying its historical roots. Modern drama, operas and performances trace their origin to ritual dramas in Africa. Etherton analyses the modern village festival. The Kalankiiwa festival that he and other colleagues from Ibadan University attended.

Etherton further states that “African theatre is not confined within constructed architectural spaces but is flexible and…

Protagoras’ statements on punishment Give precise reasoning given and not given for punishment. The text talks about why human beings punish those who commit offenses. It states that punishment is only meaningful if it is given with the goal of preventing future offenses. This is achieved by preventing the person and those who see getting punished for repeating it in the future. These are quotes from Socrates. However, it also states that a punishment should be given by focusing in the past as that would just be a vendetta with no meaningful outcome. How true is it on how communities/cities and individuals punish? Give reasons why/why not? The text has a lot of truth about why punishments are given in today’s society. The law courts hand sentences to criminals to prevent them from repeating them in the future. This is the core message that Socrates said. The same is applied to individuals. For example, a person will ground his/her child so that he/she learns from her mistakes. A community will also deny certain individuals privileges so as to teach them…
