...Jenna Blamowski EN 110 Mr. Chojnacki Front tuck flip vs. Back tuck flip Some things can be compared and contrasted very well because they have a good amount of similarities and differences. A front tuck flip and a back tuck flip are very good examples. You can tell just by their names that they have similarities and differences. The first words “front” and “back” give away the first variation between the two. But, the endings “tuck flip” on both make it clear that there does exist conformity. A tuck flip is the most basic flip someone can perform. In any acrobatic sport, it has the lowest degree of difficulty. The first comparison one can see is the position that the flip is executed in. A tuck is a body position in which one’s knees are “tucked” into their chest. The hands are gripping just below the knee and the chin is brought in towards the neck. The shape resembles a ball, so it makes the flip happen faster. The front and back tuck flip will be done as so. The next step is the jump that one does in order to complete the flip. This is how you come off of the surface, and it brings us to our first contrast. The front tuck flip begins with feet flat and shoulder width apart on the floor, trampoline, etc. Arms should be up next to your ears and eyes looking straight forward. You will squat down for the jump but not too far. Legs should not be all the way at a ninety degree angle but close to. Also make sure your knees do not surpass your toes or else you will be projecting...

...------------------------------------------------- Flip-flop (politics) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "U-turn (politics)" redirects here. For the Serbian political group, see U-Turn (Serbian coalition). A "flip-flop" (used mostly in the United States), U-turn (used in the United Kingdom and Ireland), or backflip (used in Australia and New Zealand) is a sudden real or apparent change of policy or opinion by a public official, sometimes while trying to claim that both positions are consistent with each other. Often it will occur during the period prior to or following an election in order to maximize the candidate's popularity. Although the terms are often used against elected officials, non-elected public officials can also be accused of flip-flopping. Ben Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, was accused of "an apparent flip-flop" in 2007.[1] Lawyers sometimes accuse their opponents of a flip-flopping as well.

... FLIP-FLOP & ITS APPLICATIONS This project is about the flip-flop and its applications in digital electronics. A flip-flop is a synchronous version of the latch. The first electronic flip-flop was invented in 1918 by William Eccles and F.W. Jordan. It was initially called the Eccles–Jordan trigger circuit and consisted of two active elements (vacuum tubes).Such circuits and their transistorized versions were common in computers even after the introduction of integrated circuits, though flip-flops made from logic gates are also common now .Today, the term flip-flop has come to mostly denote non-transparent (clocked or edge triggered) devices, while the simpler transparent ones are often referred to as latches. The word latch is mainly used for storage elements, while clocked devices are described as flip-flops. There are a number of types of Flip-flops such as: - Set-Reset Flip-flops, also known as SR Flip-flops - Toggle Flip-Flops - JK Flip Flops - Master–slave pulse-triggered D flip-flop - D Flip Flops - Gated latches and conditional transparency Flip-flops are essentially 1-bit storage devices .i.e. outputs can be set to store either 0 or 1 depending on the inputs. A flip-flop in combination with a Schmitt trigger can be used for the implementation of an arbiter in asynchronous circuits. Flip-flop integrated circuits (ICs) also exist that provide one or more flip-flops. We can use any one of the flip-flop type to build any of...

...state the bank was operating in and the state of the target allowed interstate banking. Riegle Neal removed state and federal restrictions on bank mergers creating rapid consolidation in the industry. During this period of deregulation, a growing number of banks adopted poison pill plans. A poison pill plan is a defensive measure adopted by a management team to protect a company from an unwanted takeover. Functionally, this measure releases additional shares of stock, at a discount, to shareholders of record when an unwanted acquirer achieves pre-specified stake in the company. This version of a poison pill plan is known as "flip-in rights." Stockholders are allowed to flip-in their "shareholder's rights,,3 in return for additional shares of the company (Fleischer and Sussman, 2000). Although, there are other varieties of poison pills, the flip-in right was predominantly used by the banking industry between 1987 and 2004. The commercial banks are unique because federal...

...the pace of acquisition nearly came to a halt. In 1982, however, the U.S. Supreme Court passed a landmark ruling in the case of Edgar v. MITE Corp. that invalidated the basis for anti-takeover laws in thirty-seven states. Furthermore, under the Reagan administration, the U.S. Department of Justice followed a lax policy towards enforcing anti-takeover laws. No longer able to shelter themselves against unfriendly takeover bids, many companies opted to devise anti-takeover strategies. At that time there was a significant increase in poison pill adoptions. However, in light of recent corporate scandals and an overall perception of poor corporate ethics poison pills began to show a decline between 2002 to 2004.

...Gujarat High Court Bench: V. Raju Author: V. Raju Union of India (UoI) vs Dayabhai Laxman, Rajkot on 11January, 1962. Case The suit was filed by Dayabhai Laxman against the Union of India owning the Western Railways for damages in respect of deterioration of the goods booked from Bilimora to Rajkot. Only the consignee filed the suit not the consignor in whose name the railway receipt was prepared. Admittedly, damage was caused to the goods. Issues The issue is that here the consignor is the bailor and the consignee is the bailee and according to the Section 161 of the Contract Act the Railways is responsible to the bailor that is the consignor for any loss, deterioration or destruction of the goods. But in this case the bailor has not filed the suit instead the suit has been filed by the consignee. Rules The rules governing this case are: Section 72 of the Indian Railways Act - “The responsibility of a railway administration for the loss, destruction or deterioration of animals or goods delivered to the administration to be carried by railway shall, subject to the other provisions of the Act, be that of a bailee under Sections 151, 152 and 161 Of the Indian Contract Act 1872 .“ Section 161 of the Indian Contract Act - “If by the default of the bailee, the goods are not returned, delivered or tendered at the proper time, he is responsible to the bailor for any loss, destruction or deterioration "Of the goods from that time.” Application According to...

...through learning all the steps, the pounding of the music came to the guitar solo. The choreographer stopped the music to ask me and Daniel Hinkson to do gymnastic tricks while the guitar solo came about. Speechless, as I was, is all that I can say to describe how I felt at that moment. Even though I was extremely flabbergasted, my mind was going five millions miles per hour thinking; What to do? How to do it? As I asked myself these questions, the plan came to my mind of presenting the front flip for everyone to gasp over. I came to Daniel with the idea and he was extraordinarily astonished about it. So now that we had our main attraction presumably completed, we were ready to fill the other thirty-five seconds of the solo with other exclusive tricks. We began brainstorming like mad men throwing ideas here and there; we finally had conducted enough to start practicing. Hours of agonizing flipping and falling, we had it down to an art. Easily for a month before the show, we could do the flips with ease, but we weren’t done yet. As we finished flipping our masculine bodies through the air, the choreographer came to me and asked...

...PeopleSoft v. Oracle: Hostilities Involved in a Takeover Precious Richey OMM 640 Business Ethics and Social Responsibility (MFF1226A) Instructor – Ken Edick Submitted: 7/23/2012 Abstract The hostile takeover of PeopleSoft by Oracle was the results of a lengthy court battle that raised many issues. One issue in particular concerned anti-trust laws and their application to technology companies. The Department of Justice, in an attempt to block the takeover, argued that a merger of this nature would lessen competition and ultimately limit customer choice. An appellant court judge ruled that this case did not meet the criterion of an anti-trust breach and ruled in favor of Oracle. Never the less, many other factors concerning the role of shareholders, the board of directors and chief officers gave rise to some grey areas. It has been speculated that the outcome of this case has paved the way for similar acquisitions in the technology arenas. The hostile take-over bid by Oracle to acquire the controlling shares of PeopleSoft was a long and drawn out acquisition. The process was marked with uncertainties, government intervention, and changed trends. Some analysis considered the move to be a merger while others considered it to be a consolidate that served as a prelude to the inevitable changes in the software market. In 2003 when Oracle’s CEO announced plans to wage an unsolicited takeover of PeopleSoft’s stock (Boatright, 2009), the decision was met with...

... IEEE JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS, VOL. 34, NO. 4, APRIL 1999 Comparative Analysis of Master–Slave Latches and Flip-Flops for High-Performance and Low-Power Systems Vladimir Stojanovic and Vojin G. Oklobdzija, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—In this paper, we propose a set of rules for consistent estimation of the real performance and power features of the flip-flop and master–slave latch structures. A new simulation and optimization approach is presented, targeting both highperformance and power budget issues. The analysis approach reveals the sources of performance and power-consumption bottlenecks in different design styles. Certain misleading parameters have been properly modified and weighted to reflect the real properties of the compared structures. Furthermore, the results of the comparison of representative master–slave latches and flipflops illustrate the advantages of our approach and the suitability of different design styles for high-performance and low-power applications. Fig. 1. The pseudorandom sequence. I. INTRODUCTION I NTERPRETATION of published results comparing various latches and flip-flops has been very difficult because of the use of different simulation methods for their generation and presentation. In this paper, we establish a set of rules with the goal of making the comparisons fair and realistic. Simulation of the latches and flip-flops obtained by using different design styles makes this analysis more difficult in trying to achieve consistent and comparable...

...English 101 student Michael Mitchell English 101 27 March 2013 A Blessing in Disguise My family had planned a trip to telluride, Colorado, for spring break. I had been anticipating it for months and it finally came. We packed the car with all of our suitcases and strapped our skis and snowboards to the top of the car. I hopped in the car, put on my headphones, and got prepared for the long journey that awaited. We drove a total of seven hours on roads that snaked through mountains and roads that were long, flat, and looked as if they had no end. As we started getting closer to Colorado I started seeing snow on the side of the road and began fantasizing about shredding down the mountain on my board. I couldn’t wait to launch off the huge jumps I had heard about and try new tricks. I day dreamed for the rest of the car ride, not responding to anyone or anything. The car stopped, but I was still day dreaming and didn’t notice until my sister slammed the car door. When I got out of the car I was immediately in awe of how nice the cabin was that we were staying at. I pushed my sister out of the way and quickly ran to go find the best room in the house. After I got all of my luggage in the room, I looked out the window and saw that the cabin was directly on one of the ski runs. This meant that I could go out the back door and be on the slopes. No walking, no lines, and no carrying my gear from the parking lot to the mountain. Once everyone got situated we put on our snow jackets...
