Geomechanics classification (Rock Mass Rating - RMR) is the most widely used rock mass classification given by Z.T.Bieniawski between 1972 and 1973. It is based upon six parameters out of which five are universal and the sixth one is used specifically for different applications. Prediction of RMR by the use of fuzzy logic makes it easier to predict the rating of rock more or less the same as calculated from experimental data. It becomes of great importance at the moment when we don’t have the rating
Human Nature in Hamlet The play, Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, shows human nature to be greedy, self-involved and vengeful. Claudius is driven by his greed to commit murder. Polonius is always looking out for himself, currying favor at the expense of anyone in his way. Hamlet thinks only of vengeance from the moment he finds out about Claudius murdering his father. Human nature has been all of these things, but it has also evolved through the ages. We can be base and cruel, but we can
immediately caught my attention. With a deep research in it, I was able to find an equation that was a major key of my investigation and to know what area am going to be focusing on. How does a helicopter lift vertically with some thin roto blade currying all that mass? My aim was constructed as the following. What is the correlation between the helicopter theory and my investigation? To be
Imagine a woman with red lips, long lashes, and smoky eyes; it 's beautiful and formal. Now imagine a woman with clear skin, striking blue eyes, and faintly pink cheeks; this look is still pretty, but simple and commonplace. Both of these women achieved their pleasant look through the use of makeup. The second look may have seemed natural, but many women do not commonly look that way. Women ordinarily wear makeup daily, so light makeup use has become the "natural" look for a woman. In the United

With one of the three pillars of colonial rule gone, the destruction of the French rule of the physical space and political economy of Algeria soon follows. In the case of the boy openly denouncing French propaganda and currying favor for the FLN, Pontecorvo depicts the break from the mentality that the Algerians must live under the Frenchmen, rather than as human equals. The second scene with the woman refusing rations provided by French soldiers emphasizes not only the
It is not often politicians make comments that make sense for lurking underneath the comments are ulterior motives: currying votes by telling would-be voters what they want to hear. Often they must tailor their public remarks with an eye to satisfying their supporters whether, SuperPacs, party affiliations, or constituents. After all, if you are running for president of the U.S. your goal is to meet the expectations of people who want you in that office in exchange for some services: tax cuts, deregulation

resources from parents. Depending on differences in birth order, gender, physical traits, and aspects of temperament, siblings create differing roles for themselves within the family system. These differing roles in turn lead to disparate ways of currying parental favor. (Epstein, 1997, p.51) First-born children are more widely studied and have been found to have higher responsibilities within the family and a greater need for achievement. Strong self-discipline, a need for approval by others
The Afterpiece: How and Why "Afterpieces were short, humorous playlets which followed the five act main attraction and concluded the theatrical evening in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries" (Bevis vii). During the eighteenth century the afterpiece became a fixture of the English theatre, but double billing was not a practice unique to English theatre. It was done in France during the late seventeenth century and probably had been experimented with elsewhere. But the afterpiece in England
The Social Security Act was enacted in 1935, and since then it has undergone numerous revisions and amendments. Today the act covers a wide range of benefit programs, including Medicare, unemployment compensation, and Supplemental Security Income. The major portion for which the Social Security Act has become known, however, is the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program, or OASDI. While today the OASDI program is most frequently referred to as “Social Security,” it is only a thread
WELCOME TO CLUB 2000: DELIVERING CUSTOMER CARE THE AIR FRANCE-KLM WAY PROBLEM: Dr. Jaeger is not just any Air France traveler – he is a privileged member of the airline’s most elite loyalty program: Club 2000.

In the mid-nineteenth century, industrial America witnessed an evolving struggle between labor and big business. Although fiercely opposed by industrialists, rising labor movements in the steel and iron industries, which had become increasingly critical to the U.S.’ modernization and emergence as a world power, experienced initial success for decades up until the early 1890s. The strongest union in the industries, the Amalgamated of Iron and Steel Workers (AAIS) was able to garner support from an
Evaluation of Women and Desire in The Beggar's Opera Though set in the underworld of thievery, John Gay's The Beggar's Opera codifies a set of Marxist sexual politics in which marriage stands as the great equalizer of desire and power. An often aphoristic overview of the traditional power struggle between men and women frames a world in which marriage reduces the wooer's desire but raises his power by an equal degree through ownership as a husband. This commodity fetishism of the wife spurs
The Peloponnesian War and the Decline of Leadership in Athens Thucydides set out to narrate the events of what he believed would be a great war—one requiring great power amassed on both sides and great states to carry out. Greatness, for Thucydides, was measured most fundamentally in capital and military strength, but his history delves into almost every aspect of the war, including, quite prominently, its leaders. In Athens especially, leadership was vital to the war effort because the city’s
