Balance beam

“alien abductions” where there’s the beam of light that draws the person up into the ship, or in Star Wars, the beam that can dock spaceships? That thing you’re thinking of is a tractor beam. Tractor beams are possible, but they are not yet advanced to the extent of Star Wars or alien abductions. The theory is that beam can reel a particle in towards the source. Currently, there are three types of tractor beams, sonic, light, and laser beams. So far, each kind of beam has only been created to…

1. Discuss the Cultural Humility (1. Lifelong learning and critical self-reflection, 2. Recognize and mitigate power imbalances, 3. institutional accountability) needed to serve this client? Lifelong learning and critical self-reflection: I think enacting cultural humility’s goal of lifelong learning and critical self-reflection requires a significant amount personal work before, during, and after every interaction with Reverend Joseph Dantica. To be able to learn from Rev. Dantica and engage…

relations between a married man and a woman ought to look like. Since these women have more than just a one-dimensional criticism of their societies, then, their intellectual foundation allows them to argue for a new value system of an aesthetic of balance within their society. Therefore, it is the value system that they present that is united, even if their…

Deborah Tannen in her Essay, the “the Power of Talk” dissects how communication tells not only ideas, but the power structure of a conversation. Tannen looks at the fundamental differences within people to show how power can change in a conversation. Looking specifically at gender, culture, and job standings - Tannen can understand how those anthropological aspects affect conversation. Within individual speech patterns, communication can be used to pinpoint the imbalance of power in a group…

Virginia, with two beautiful grown daughters. I made the same bet about starting a company–just see if I could start one and last for two years. Now we’re celebrating 20 years in business. Work/life balance was a struggle in the beginning until I stopped trying to live by other people’s definition of balance and created my own, with my husband, our daughters and my company. It’s not perfect, but it works for…

Reflection High-Energy Electron Refraction Intensity Oscillations Reflection high-energy electron refraction (RHEED) has been used as a surface probe for in situ observation of monolayer growth using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) because of its high surface sensitivity and a near grazing incidence. It utilizes diffraction of electrons by surface atoms[1] and the RHEED intensity oscillation can convey morphological information of the growth surface if the intensity oscillation pattern is properly…

once again awakened in the recipient. A vortex is created where the practitioner’s touch on the client’s body not only introduces Reiki into the client, but allows the Reiki energy to run on its own for the next day or so. The Reiki energy will balance the physical systems,…

Drying the beans diminishes the danger of mold and parasites, and preserves the cocoa's taste and fragrance. The thought is straightforward: farmers use plastic sheeting to open up the sun's beams and dry beans faster and all the more efficiently. Normally, cocoa farmers spread harvested beans on the ground and dry them in the sun, down to around 10% moisture content. Exporters then buy the beans and dry them further to an ideal 7–7.5%, either…
