...One of the major issues in the debate is the legality of the Elgin excavation in Greece. It has been stated, “the Elgin Marbles controversy centers on the question of whether or not Lord Elgin had permission to remove the marbles. Specifically, the analysis concerns whether to Ottomans had to right to give Lord Elgin permission to remove the marbles…” . On one side there are authors like John Merryman arguing that the Marbles rightfully belong in London; the other side is the British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles, demanding their repatriation back to Greece. The people in support of the Repatriation pull emotional heartstrings, and Merryman admits that if this were a moral and emotional debate the Marbles would...

...object. We arrived at this conclusion by rolling five marbles with different masses down a small scale roller coaster and recording how long it took each marble to roll from the starting point to the ending point of the roller coaster. The data from our investigation is the amount of time it took each marble to go down our roller coaster in seconds. Each marble has five sets of data because we conducted five trials. In trial one, marble one took 1.919 seconds, marble two took 1.992 seconds, marble three took 1.799 seconds, marble four took 1.676 seconds, and marble five took 1.696 seconds. In trial two, marble one took 2.496 seconds, marble two took 1.776 seconds, marble three took 1.836 seconds, marble four took 1.843 seconds, and marble five took 1.856 seconds. In trial three, marble one took 2.102 seconds, marble two took 1.628 seconds, marble three took 1.547 seconds, marble four took 1.665 seconds, and marble five took 1.775 seconds.

...Marble Slab Creamery, is a internationally managed restaurant located in Le Mall Sin El Fil, Le Royal Hotel Dbaye, Alley, City Mall Dora specializes in serving all natural ice cream. Marble slab is located in a prime location (Malls) which causes some problems because not everyone is willing to go to a Mall just to eat ice cream thus having a low market share especially in the presence of competition such as “Gelato” and “Bouzza Bashir” which are independent shops. In a culture like ours people are prone to eat from places that are more affordable and have been in the market for a years. Marble Slab opened their first store in City Mall on 2008, Marble Slab delivered high quality customer service, along with high quality ice cream. Having no advertising made it harder for people to know more about Marble Slab thus making it harder for them to reach a large number of their target audience. Marble Slab started to get known from people that go to the malls, which are mostly mothers of children and teenagers that hang around in the food courts at malls. Marble Slab did not just offer great quality ice cream but also offered cakes and catering for different events, different kinds of cones and brownies. As mentioned before Marble Slab did not have any advertising so anyone that wanted to know more about the products had to visit their Facebook page or their website. Marble Slab’s technique revolves around having a fun experience from the moment you enter the shop till you...

...results in it being an important site from Greek history. Thus, in 1801-1802, when Lord Elgin came to the acropolis when Greece was under Ottoman rule, he removed sculptures from the acropolis and took them back to England, where they were called the “Elgin marbles.” In the recent past, there has been some dispute between Greece and England about his justifications in taking the marbles, and whether or not they should be sent back to Greece. After analyzing the two arguments, I argue that the Elgin marbles should remain in the British museum. The first reason these marbles should remain in London is because Lord Elgin was not sporadically taking things from the acropolis, but he did so under the full knowledge and authorities of the Ottoman Empire, who were at this time in control of Greece. Some may argue that the Ottomans didn’t have the right to give away artifacts of Greek history, but if they were the ruling power, who is to say they didn’t? The rulers decide what actions to take,...

...The top two teams for the longest times, were The Destructor and The Marble?. The Destructor's strategy was to make pathways zig-zagging back and forth from one table leg to another. They made the marble roll as slowly as possible by putting just a slight incline in their tracks which were taped to the table legs and by also making them as long as possible (using the length of two folders) to make the marble roll for the longest time. The Marbles strategy was to make the marble go really slow to take up more time. They used the table as a part of their roller coaster and managed to get 16 seconds by using hardly any materials. This group also put paper under one of the table legs to make an angle so the marble would keep moving. The only problem...

Results 11………………………………………………………………………..Discussion/ conclusion 12………………………………………………………………………………… Bibliography 13………………………………………………………………………………… A. Appendix Slowly, and sometimes, ever so slowly, a train of cars are being pulled up to the highest point of the roller coaster. Of course, one by one, the cars are pulled downhill until gravity takes over and push it all across the tracks. The way the roller coaster goes around is one of the best examples of how the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy from the highest points. As the cars go up the track, it is acquiring the potential energy until the cars are at the highest point of the track. At this point, the cars have reached its maximum gravitational potential energy. Next as the cars go down the track, the potential energy is then changed to kinetic energy. Eventually the cars go up another hill and some of the kinetic energy is changed again to potential energy. This is the loop of energy conversions that go around dealing with roller coasters. Energy is the ability to do work. Roller coasters have a lot of energy, but they’re only two are the most important: gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Gravitational...

...Marble Challenge 1) Identify the Problem- The marble has to travel for twenty-five seconds or greater. 2) Gather Information- If we use cardboard, it will slow down the time but by using the folder, it will increase the time the marble travels. 3) Generate Possible Solutions- By testing different possible designs, we can generate a solution as to how the marble will travel for the twenty-five seconds. 4) Select the best Solution- We had two main solutions and tested both of them. One was a zig-zag structure but as we tested it, the cardboard became too flimsy and our second structure was to build the zig-zag in a base that would support it, and that was our end product because we knew we had found our perfect structure. 5) Implement Selected Solution- (Turned in) 6) Evaluate- As we tested our structure, we came to conclusion that the marble only traveled 17 seconds but our design was successful in my opinion because the marble had potential to go the full 25 or even longer with a few tweaks. It could’ve ended differently but unfortunately, we did not solve the problem. A) The positives I took away from this project were that our design actually worked the way we planned. Through the building process and testing it, everything came out the way we hoped and although the marble didn’t travel the full twenty-five seconds, we were successful and positive on the design and structure. B) The negatives I took away from this project were...

...behavior modification through the application of operant conditioning techniques (Tria & Limpingco, 2014, pp. 64-66). The experiment are composed of 2 students that will act as experimenter and 2 naïve students as subjects which one will be for controlled and another for experimental. The subject will stood in one place and put the marbles in bottle X and Y using only one hand throughout the experiment, after each trial (6 trials) switch the position of the bottle. Introduction Operant conditioning or sometimes referred as instrumental conditioning is a way that attempts to modify behavior through the use of positive and negative. Through operant conditioning, an individual makes an association between a particular behavior and consequence. B.F. Skinner believed that the best way to understand behavior is to look at the causes of an action and its consequences. He called this approach operant conditioning. His theory of operant conditioning was based on the work of Thorndike (1905). In other words Skinner tells us that the behaviors that are reinforce will tend to continue, while behaviors that are punished will tend to end. He simply tells us how a child or an individual good behavior to continue will. There are some key concept in operant conditioning. One is the...

...Have you ever been good at almost anything and terrible at one thing? In the story the marble champ Lupe was really good at everything in school and bad at sports until she tried marbles. Lupe showed me something and that is hard work pays off. First, she squeezed a eraser so her thumb got stronger. Also, she played people that had more experience with marbles. Lastly she practiced for 6 hrs. Lupe taught me that hard work pays off is that she could crack a marble. For example she squeezed a eraser so that her thumb got stronger. She squeezed it so much her thumb got swollen, and had to show her dad. Next she did great in competition. She won the championship. Lastly she made it powerful. If she could crack a marble that is powerful. That...

...Cognitive scientists connected pretend play with the false belief task. Both require the use of metarepresentations. However, Cognitive scientists have realized that although children are able to pretend play, they are unable to pass the false belief task. The false belief task goes like this: A child is seated in front of an experimenter, who has two puppets, Sally and Anne. There is a basket and a box on the table between the child and the experimenter. Sally places a marble in the basket and then leaves the room, and while she’s away, Anne transfers the marble from the basket to the box. Sally then returns, and at this point, the experimenter asks the child: Where will Sally look for her marble? The child passing the task would be realizing...

...Professor: Beaumont 11/30/12 I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and after seeing all the paintings, sculptures, and art works, I chose Kouros, for my final paper, because it shows Greek's first nude youth male during Archaic period on ca. 600 BCE. My piece of art is Marble statue of Kouros (male youth) which is characteristically depicted nude with the left leg striding forward and hands clenched at the side. This noble figure of a youth is one of the earliest freestanding marble statues from Archaic Greek, Attic. This statue was made with Naxian marble in ca. 590–580 b.c. Around 600 BCE the first monumental figure sculptures appear in Greece and depict youths. Most of the sculptures are always standing in the nude, and were either votive or commemorative in nature were Kouros similar like called Kouroi, Doryphoros, Anavysos Kouros which are sculpted during Archaic period. The body has been used as a sign or symbol in art for centuries. The body was used to symbolize perfection in ancient Greece, and in Egypt, to give a precise image for the God of the After-life. Not to mention their colossal monuments which promote power and glory, and are used to intimidate. However contemporary artists use the body as a symbol which conveys a whole range of different kinds of layered meaning, although the simple symbol of power has not been lost over the centuries. The Greek artist distributed the weight of the figure as though in the act of walking. They are...

...leaning on a female figure is 82 ¾ inches tall. This sculpture is all made of marble and painted in light gray. It was from Roman during Augustan or Julio-Claudian period. Right now this marble statue is displayed at The Metropolitan of Museum of Art and located in the section of Greek and Roman art on the first floor. Accounting to the instructions from the Metropolitan museum, Statue of Dionysos leaning on a female figure is a gift from the Frederick W. Richmond Foundation, Judy and Michael Steinhardt, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Alfred Taubman, 1990. This monumental statue is also known as “Hope Dionysos”, which was named after its owner, Thomas Philip Hope. Unfortunately, people didn't find out any evidence that shows who the...
