At the beginning of the play, Romeo pines for Rosaline, proclaiming her the paragon of women and despairing at her indifference toward him. Taken together, Romeo’s Rosaline-induced histrionics seem rather juvenile. Romeo is a great reader of love poetry, and the portrayal of his love for Rosaline suggests he is trying to re-create the feelings that he has read about. After first kissing Juliet, she tells him “you kiss by th’ book,” meaning that he kisses according to the rules, and implying that while proficient, his kissing lacks originality (1.5.107). In reference to Rosaline, it seems, Romeo loves by the book. Rosaline, of course, slips from Romeo’s mind at first sight of Juliet. But Juliet is no mere replacement. The love she shares with Romeo is far deeper, more authentic and unique than the clichéd puppy love Romeo felt for Rosaline. Romeo’s love matures over the course of the play from the shallow desire to be in love to a profound and intense passion. One must ascribe Romeo’s development at least in part to Juliet. Her level-headed observations, such as the one about Romeo’s kissing, seem just the thing to snap Romeo from his superficial idea of love and to inspire him to begin to speak some of the most beautiful and intense love poetry ever written. Yet Romeo’s deep capacity for love is merely a part of his larger capacity for intense feeling of all kinds. Put another way, it is possible to describe Romeo as lacking the capacity for moderation. Love compels him to sneak into the garden of his enemy’s daughter, risking death simply to catch a glimpse of her. Anger compels him to kill his wife’s cousin in a reckless duel to avenge the death of his friend. Despair compels him to suicide upon hearing of Juliet’s death. Such extreme behavior dominates Romeo’s character throughout the play and contributes to the ultimate tragedy that befalls the lovers. Had Romeo restrained himself from killing Tybalt, or waited even one day before killing himself after hearing the news of Juliet’s death, matters might have ended happily. Of course, though, had Romeo not had such depths of feeling, the love he shared with Juliet would never have existed in the first place. Among his friends, especially while bantering with Mercutio, Romeo shows glimpses of his social persona. He is intelligent, quick-witted, fond of verbal jousting (particularly about sex), loyal, and unafraid of danger.

Transverse Waves: Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. To understand this it is good to think of a rope being held still by person B and being moved up and down by person A. The direction of propagation is from person A to B, so you will see the waves move along this way. But the displacement will be up and down. Longitudinal Waves: Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. A good example for this is a slinky being pushed along the table, the propagation will be along the table and so will the displacement of all the 'rings'.

1. Attitude Towards Learning The Subject. Everything depends on one’s attitude towards the subject in question. The student mindset plays an important role. If a student thinks from the beginning that he will not be able to perform well in the subject, he will end up developing a phobia towards Mathematics. This in turn will affect his learning ability and performance. The positive attitude can bring about a lot of difference. It will act as a confidence booster. 2. Method of Teaching. Ideally, Mathematics should be taught in a way that is easy to comprehend. The technique should be such that students can relate to it even after the class is over. If the method of teaching is proper, the students will be able to add, subtract, divide, and multiply without using a calculator. But, more often than not, mathematics teachers rely on methods that are difficult to grasp. They might appear all right on pen and paper. But when its application comes to the world outside the classroom, problems starts to arise. 3. A Lack of Connection Between The Subject and Students. One of the many reasons why students fail in mathematics! Students are unable to develop a connection between the subject and themselves. They treat the subject as something alien to them. Something that is unknown and scary! Such students remain absent from the mathematics class. This hampers their learning ability. They cannot keep a track between the previous class and the one that they are attending. 4. Self Doubt. Peer pressure is another reason why students fail in mathematics. They are unable to cope up with the pressure to perform at school. This along with a constant comparison with other good students leads to the rise of self-doubt. Once self-doubt sets in, it becomes difficult to recover. Eventually, the student’s ability to perform well in mathematics is hampered forever. Students might not voice out but in reality, they are very scared of the subject. They look out for ways to avoid learning the subject.

The Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras’ theorem is a relationship between the sides in a right triangle. A right triangle is a triangle where one of the three angles is an 90-degree angle. In a right triangle the sides are called legs and hypotenuse. In a right triangle the relationship between the legs a, b and the hypotenuse is a^2+b^2=c^2, where c is the longest side of the right angled triangle (the hypotenuse).

FIRST REASON- Cultural Differences Impact Branding: Cultural differences are indeed a major factor that has an impact on the success or failure of a brand. As brands enter different cultures, it becomes imperative for them to carefully tread the standardization-customization continuum wherein they not only manage to retain the inherent brand identity which is the very reason for their acceptance across markets, but also adopt the brand elements (images, advertising, channels, and others) to appeal to the local tastes and preference of customers. SECOND REASON- Weave The Brand Into The Cultural Fiber: The increasing popularity of the Internet offers brands a very powerful tool to involve customers and bring the brands closer to the local culture by providing them a platform to interact with the brand in their (customer’s ) terms. Creation of online discussion groups, and online brand communities is a firm step towards co-creating brand value with the customers. By weaving the brand essence into the societal fiber, brands can leverage cultural differences to their advantage. THIRD REASON- Understand The Consumption Patterns: Individualistic and collectivistic cultures tend to be the two ends of a continuum. Individualistic cultures support customers to make consumption decisions based on their personal choice, at an individual level. On the other hand, collectivistic cultures support customers to make consumption decisions on a group level (family, extended family, network of friends and even community).

The standard deviation is a summary measure of the differences of each observation from the mean. If the differences themselves were added up, the positive would exactly balance the negative and so their sum would be zero. Consequently the squares of the differences are added. The sum of the squares is then divided by the number of observations minus one to give the mean of the squares, and the square root is taken to bring the measurements back to the units we started with. (The division by the number of observations minus one instead of the number of observations itself to obtain the mean square is because "degrees of freedom" must be used. In these circumstances they are one less than the total). To gain an intuitive feel for degrees of freedom, consider choosing a chocolate from a box of n chocolates. Every time we come to choose a chocolate we have a choice, until we come to the last one, and then we have no choice. Thus we have n-1 choices, or "degrees of freedom".

Could someone explain Standard Deviation? I am studying for the level three statistics award

When a current carrying wire is in a magnetic field it experiences a force. The size of the force experienced can be increased by either increasing the strength of the magnetic field or increasing the current in the wire. If the wire is parallel to the magnetic field it does not experience a force.

The generator effect is the induction of a potential difference when a wire experiences a change in magnetic field). In a transformer, there are primary and secondary coils. An AC current is fed into the primary coil, leading to an alternating magnetic field being passed to the secondary coil in an iron core. By the generator effect, this induces a potential difference and hence current in the secondary coil. The relative number of coils between primary and secondary determines the potential difference produced.

A dynamo produces a direct current with the use of a mechanical commutator.

Can you please explain the motor effect, generator effect and dynamos in physics

Several main reasons can cause an economy to experience disinflation. If a central bank decides to impose a tighter monetary policy and the government starts to sell off some of its securities, it could reduce the supply of money in the economy, causing a disinflationary effect. Similarly, a contraction in the business cycle or a recession can also cause disinflation. For example, businesses may choose not to increase prices to gain greater market share, leading to disinflation.

Economics

Why may disinflation occur? What are its implications on an economy?

A well-balanced diet provides all of the energy you need to keep active throughout the day nutrients you need for growth and repair, helping you to stay strong and healthy and help to prevent diet-related illness, such as some cancers. Keeping active and eating a healthy balanced diet can also help you to maintain a healthy weight. Deficiencies in some key nutrients - such as vitamin A, B, C and E, and zinc, iron and selenium - can weaken parts of your immune system.

Biology

Why is eating a healthy, balanced diet so important to the body?

Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction in simple living organisms. The outcome of each cell cycle is two identical cells. Mitotic checkpoints happen at certain stages of mitosis to ensure that each cell receives the same amount of DNA. Errors must be corrected or division halted because too many or too few chromosomes can harm the new cells.
