Metric space

Hi, my name’s Rebel. I’m a very shy, timid fellow that is searching for a patient owner with a relaxed lifestyle. When you come in to visit me, I will be crouched on my bed with a sad scared out of mind look on my face, and I am more than likely not going to approach the front of the cage to meet you. Though please don’t let this offend or discourage you. When it comes to relationships with new people, I don’t tend to jump in head first if you know what I mean. I just need an understanding family that will talk softly and nicely to me, and just take things slow, allow me to do things at my own pace, and to not worry or get discouraged if it takes me a while. I’m pretty sure I was an outside dog in my past because I feel more comfortable and…

The Onion in Me People have a tendency to look remarkably like their pets. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t look much like Onion; her round blue eyes, stubby legs, and short squished snout are all but alien to my own features. On the outside, I bear practically no resemblance to my feline friend. Yet on the inside I hope that I look even remotely as beautiful as she does. Onion was only 2 months old, a furry ball of snow, vulnerable and fragile in the arms of a giant. She didn’t eat,…

It will be calculated by the budgeted hours against the actual time taken to perform a given task. This will look at the team productivity and efficiency. Through using this metric therefore, the provide a greater insight which will help the new company to make better decisions in hiring new staff for example the assistant principal. The assessment of the metric will be through tracking the job done by each employee per year. The performance will therefore be assessed through conducting team…

Objective Description In the year 2000, the American Museum of Natural History posted an essay as an online resource, Profile: Georges Lemaître, Father of the Big Bang. An excerpt from Cosmic Horizons: Astronomy at the Cutting Edge. It was edited by Steven Soter and Neil deGrasse Tyson. The profile begins with a simple explanation of the expanding universe and how Georges Lemaître published his mathematical findings that today we know as the Big Bang theory. Soter and deGrasse Tyson provide…

“There are two types of countries in this world. Those who use the metric system, and those that have been to the moon.” Although I can’t remember where I found this quote, it immediately popped into my head when I thought of the metric system in the US. Like many ideas now a days, this one is highly debated. In fact since the time of Thomas Jefferson in 1789, the use of the metric system in the US has been a very popular idea. The metric system comes with its advantages, and its disadvantages.…

It is for this and many other reasons why the U.S.A should convert to the metric system. The metric system is a multinational unit of measurement in both the real world and the science field. It is not only renowned but also easier to use overall. Ultimately, the time for the metric system has finally come for the good of America. The metric system is the standard in 95% of the world and would be beneficial for today's Americans. Firstly, according to the World Trade Organization (W.T.O), China…

If you are closer than that to me, I am going to feel very uncomfortable until you move. I believe it is only ever okay to share your personal space if you are good friends or dating that person. I have been asked to make a short list of my personal proximity rules. I had no trouble listing off five different personal proximity rules, but once I went back and reread them, I almost sounded crazy/snobby to myself. Number one on my list is if there are other seats in the room, don’t sit right next…

The current standard for the kilogram is the International Prototype Kilogram. The International Prototype Kilogram, also known as Le Grand K, is a platinum-iridium bar made in the 1880’s. This official Kilogram is kept in a vault in Paris under two glass domes. The reason it is under 2 glass domes it to prevent dust from obstructing from the weight of the Kilogram. However according to Sandia National Laboratories, a government organization under the Department of Energy, “Of the seven units of…

However, some aspects of everyday life are not what you would expect from a nation of such importance. Firstly, the US customary units of measure, derived from the ancient imperial units, are still in use today in the US, Liberia and Burma. This non-coherent system of measures is difficult, even for the people raised in the country itself. My brother Victor Salas, 13, explains that although he was taught the imperial system at school, he would rather use the metric system, for its simplicity and…

Should America Convert to the Metric System? About what percent of the world doesn’t use the metric system? There are two different measuring systems and they use different measurement sizes. The United States doesn’t use the metric like the majority of the world we just haven’t switched over yet. A few reasons that we should use it is because we’re one of the only one’s in the world who don’t use it, it will be easier for manufacturing products to other countries, it is easier to understand,.…
