...Grammar notes: relative clauses Definition A relative clause is a part of a sentence beginning with a relative pronoun (although this pronoun can be omitted in certain cases). For example: The company where I worked is called International Enterprises Plc. The man who went into the baker's bought a loaf of bread. My sister, who lives near London, is coming to visit me soon. Basic relative pronouns The relative pronoun you use depends on the thing you're talking about. Generally speaking, the most basic ones are these: for people for things for places for reasons for times who/that which/that where why when Who, which and that cannot be used indiscriminately. That can only be used in defining relative clauses. Trickier relative pronouns Four relative pronouns often seem to confuse people, but they're easy to use too. WHICH This can be used to refer to the whole part of the sentence that went before. Usually a pronoun refers to a noun, but this refers to more. For example: I've broken my leg, which means I can't walk. I've still got some money left, which is surprising. WHOM This is hardly ever used in spoken English, and not often in written English. It sounds very formal to most people. If you're going to use it at all, then only use it after prepositions. Even so, there's usually another less formal way to say the same thing. For example: The woman to whom he was talking is his sister. The woman that he was talking to is his sister. WHOSE This is used to show...

...Introduction There are many methods of reporting the humidity, including the Absolute Humidity, Specific Humidity, Mixing Ratio, Relative Humidity, and others. All methods are used, though the common method used in the public is Relative Humidity. The purpose of this lab is to learn how to calculate Relative Humidity. Instructions There are two options to completing this lab: 1. Gathering Temperature and Dew Point data from the National Weather Service and calculating the Relative Humidity (1 measurement every hour throughout one day), or 2. Use a liquid-bulb thermometer and use it as a wet-bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity around your house. Option 1 will take more work, as it needs to be done throughout an entire day, but in this case you won’t need anything more than the provided data. Option 2 is quicker, but you do need a thermometer. You can get an alcohol-based liquid bulb thermometer from a store (example of one here), or you can use one of my thermometers. If you need to use one of my thermometers, please email me via Falcon Online at least one week before the due date (July 17). ------------------------------------------------- Either option will give you credit. You do not need to complete both. When completed, submit to the “Lab 2 – Relative Humidity” Dropbox on Falcon Online. ------------------------------------------------- Option 1 This option will take one day to complete, using weather data once every hour from...

...Study Guide Questions for To Kill A Mockingbird 1.Explain what it means to be a southerner, according to Scout. Being a southerner according to Scout is being able to trace ones ancestry back to the time of the Battle Of Hastings which occurred in 1066. 2.Describe the town of Maycomb,Alabama. The town of Maycomb, Alabama can be best described as hot at least in the summer,Secondly it can be described as tired, old, poor, and in relative disrepair. 3.Describe Charles Baker Harris(Dill). Dill Can be described(as thus introduced) as an eager boy the age of seven, diminutive in size but not in intellect, and as relatively curious; He is also not a permanent resident to Maycomb but only a summertime visitor from Meridian. 4.What is spooky about the “Radley Place”? The primary thing that is queer about the Radley Place is it's occupancy by a character named “Boo” who is quite likely mentally challenged or insane as he stabbed his father in the leg once also the the home oozes a persona of unwelcomeness which is extremely strange in the south where it is odd to have one's doors or shutters closed on Sunday. 5.Describe Scout's first few days at school.

Multiples are easy to use and easy to misuse. There are four basic steps to using multiples wisely and for detecting misuse in the hands of others Define the multiple 1. Look at how it is computed (Consistency of numerator and denominator): Example P/E vs. P/EBITDA 2. Sometimes, the multiples with the same names can be computed differently(uniformity of definition) Describe the multiple : Look at the cross sectional distribution of the to know what is median multiple Analyze the multiple: embedded in each multiple there are key DCF factors that are driving the multiple (i.e. DCF assumptions that you are trying to run from) Conclude: Only after I follow the first three steps, I can reach a conclusion.

...Tagarao, Isaiah Jeremy July 26, 2013 Tatlonghari, Patricia Anne Nicole Valena, Carmelo Miguel O. Valena, Keena Wong, Monika Yu, Princess Dianne Mei Group 8 SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS Experiment No. 3 Abstract: Questions and Problems 1. Differentiate specific gravity and density. Answer: Density is the measure of the amount of mass per volume of a given substance. Density can be expressed using the equation: ρ=mv Specific Gravity is the measure of the measure of density relative to the density of a reference substance. (ex. Water) In can be expressed using the equation: S.G. =ρ sub.ρ water=m ofsusbtancev of substancem of waterv of water If, Vsub=Vwater then, S.G. =MsubMwater 2. If 54.96 mL of oil weighs 52.78g, what is its specific gravity? Given: Voil = 54.96 mL Moil = 52.78 g Formula: ρ=mv S.G. =ρ sub.ρ water Solution: Voil = 52.78 g54.96 mL = 0.9603 gml S.G. =0.9603gml1gml = 0.9603 3. A pycnometer weighs 50.00g. When filled with water, it weighs 100.00g. When filled with oil, it weighs 94.00g. Determine the specific gravity of the oil. Given: mpycnomter = 50.00g mpycnometer + water = 100.00g mpycnometer + oil = 94.00g Formula: mwater = mpycnometer + water - mpycnometer moil = mpycnometer + oil - mpycnometer Since Voil = Vwater then; S.G. = MoilMwater Solution: mwater = 100.00g – 50.00g = 50.00g moil = 94.00g – 50.00g = 44...

...productivity by incentivising effort. Junior staff is subject to a relative performance tournament; staff members who perform relatively better than their peers will be rewarded with a prize; a raise and tenure in this case. Studies have shown that relative performance tournaments result in the participants exerting more effort, ultimately increasing productivity (Nalbantian & Schotter, 1997). Nevertheless, there are several detrimental factors to be considered. Relative Performance tournaments are costly and difficult to monitor. Furthermore, they can undermine work ethic and sabotage cooperation (Holmlund, 2009). Finally, faculty members could neglect important objectives of their job to focus on parts that would benefit their performance evaluation. Consequently, it is crucial to realize that while relative performance can increase productivity among junior faculty, its disadvantages can potentially undermine the university’s overall objectives. The key element of relative performance tournaments is that participants are evaluated “on the basis of their performance relative to their peers” (DeVaro, 2006, p. 5). Potentially receiving a raise and tenure dependent on their relative performance therefore enhances competitive behaviour as not all participants can win. Consequently, relatively better performance is incentivised. Müller and Schotter’s as well as Nalbantian and Schotter’s studies show that relative performance contract do increase productivity (Müller & Schotter...

...Explain the features of ‘And the glory of the Lord’ by Handel In terms of melody, word setting and structure, the piece, ‘And the glory of the Lord’ by Handel, is structured around the main 4 melodic ideas, starting with a rimornello: ‘and the glory of the Lord’( idea 1), ‘shall be revealed’ (idea 2), ‘and all flesh shall see it together’(idea 3) and ‘for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it’(idea 4). The first idea has two characteristic features. The first three notes, although not in order, make up up the A major triad and the second feature is a stepwise scale ending. The setting of the word is mainly syllabic. The second idea has a melismatic setting of the word ‘revealed’ and this is built up of a two one-bar descending sequence. The third idea is repetitive having three statements of the descending fourth idea. Because it is repeating, it gives the impression of a firm statement. The fourth idea is characterised by long repeated notes. These notes emphasise the idea ‘the Lord hath spoken it’. To achieve this strength Handel doubles the part with tenors and basses. All four of these short melodic phrases contrast from one another, so that when Handel combines them together, each melody having its own character and shape can be clearly heard. This piece’s instrumentation suits its grand yet religious nature. There is a SATB(Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass) choir. Double basses play same as cellos but sound an octave lower. The introduction is just the strings alone. Some...

...Exchange rate determination model as discussed by Alan C. Stockman A. Stockman did propose an alternative equilibrium explanation of ex- change rate behavior. The explanation is based on a model of the simultaneous determination of exchange rates and relative prices of different goods in international trade in an intertemporal framework with uncertainty and rational expectations. The model emphasizes the role of relative price changes, caused by real disturbances, in determining the behavior of exchange rates and integrates the important issues discussed by the traditional "elasticity theorists" into a general equilibrium framework. 2. In the model developed in his paper, explains exchange rates may be volatile and can exhibit auto correlated deviations from purchasing power parity, even though prices freely adjust to clear markets. Ex- change rate changes may appear to cause relative price changes and generate additional uncertainty even when all markets are in equilibrium. Nevertheless ,the relationship between the exchange rate and the terms of trade cannot be exploited by government exchange rate policies.-' 3. The model shows how a change in the terms of trade caused by relative supply or demand shifts is divided between nominal price changes in each country and an exchange rate change, creating a correlation between the exchange rate and the terms of trade. The greater the changes in the terms of the trade and the larger the role of changes in the exchange rate in...

...When Peers Are Not Equals: The Relative Age Effect in the Classroom Abstract Relative age effects are differentiated experiences amongst children in the earliest years of primary school resulting from both a single, yearly cut-off date and an escalation of curriculum replacing socialization with skill acquisition activities as early as kindergarten before maturity differences by age have evened out. Implementation of three cut-off dates per class and the creation of individual student developmental planning reduces the potentially long lasting effects associated with relative age differences. This study aims to determine the existence of, and potential long lasting effects associated with, relative age differences. A background on the evolving framework of early elementary curriculum to that of a factory model emphasizing the development of the whole over the individual is included to underscore the ripe conditions for relative age effects to manifest themselves. If nothing is done, relatively younger students will continue to score noticeably lower in reading, math, and science testing throughout elementary and middle school. Pre-university program participation in high school and college enrollment will remain lower, on average, among the relative youngest. Lastly, implications for educational policy, administrations, parents, and teachers are evaluated. What if the date of someone’s birthday was a gift in it of itself? Suppose this gift was manifested...

It will emphasize the similarities and differences between them. There will be five factors that will be discussed which are average monthly high and annual temperatures, average monthly low and annual temperatures, average monthly and annual precipitation, average monthly and annual wind speeds, and average monthly and annual evening relative humidity readings. Houston Texas is my birth place. In Houston we have nearly four hundred events throughout the year. There’s fun for all the family from and is a diverse city which contains many cultures. Here are some of the interesting places that this wonderful city has to offer; there is NASA which is 25 miles southeast of downtown. It is like a museum for me but of things from present times, communications and space artifacts. Also, we have Discovery Green which is in downtown Houston. This park is in down town which attract all ages to gather and enjoy the outdoors. Facts: * Houston was founded on August 30, 1836 by brothers Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen * Population-2,099,451 * Houston's latitude is 29 degrees 45 minutes north and its longitude is 95 degrees 22 minutes west * Houston is 43 feet above sea level.
