I swear, from what I’ve seen and heard, especially through COVID and virtual learning: some professors have an ego and almost literally live for having a bunch of captive students forced to follow their wishes for the entire class (including sitting through ridiculous insults and stereotyping and being berated for not knowing things that haven’t been relevant since before our parents were born) or be flunked. Like… meet me halfway here and at least tell me what I need to do and when. Moreover, if someone is handling the material just fine without attending class, why screw over the students that don’t even -need- extra help to pass, by intentionally misleading them? Hell, this is also the sort of crap that turned one or two absences due to depression setting in, into losing entire classes or being so stressed out I couldn’t work up the nerve to come back to class anyway. I highly doubt any of those practices would work well in the corporate world, so I’m rather skeptical of them being masters of anything resembling efficiency.

"Increased curvature increases the perception of attractiveness," explains Pazhoohi. The more arched the back of the 3D model, the more appealing the men and women participating in the study rated it to be. The results show that small changes in the angle of a woman's back influence how attractive others perceive her to be. Eye-tracking technology was used to monitor the participants' gaze while they were looking at the images. Three different views (from the front, side and the back) of each of the models were then presented to 82 undergraduate men and women, who had to rate how attractive they found each posture. This resulted in variations in how their backs arched and their buttocks extended outwards. The models' backs were manipulated at slightly different yet normal body angles. To do so, six computer-generated 3D models of a woman's upper body was generated. The researchers set out to study the role that body posture plays in the development of human mate attraction and selection. According to Pazhoohi, this posture may have also evolved as part of the courting behaviour of humans, and as a signal of a woman willing to be courted by a man. Studies of animals such as rats, guinea pigs, sheep, cats, ferrets and primates have shown that this so-called lordotic posture, in which the lower spine is curved towards the belly, can signal the readiness of females to mate. The findings are published in Springer's journal Evolutionary Psychological Science. A team led by Farid Pazhoohi of the University of Minho in Portugal used 3D models and eye-tracking technology to show how the subsequent slight thrusting out of a woman's hips can hold a man's gaze. Researchers have provided scientific evidence for what lap dancers and those who twerk probably have known all along - men are captivated by the arched back of a woman.

See with I mean with the recommended configuration specs being absurdly high, a 980 TI, really?

You may find aftermarket batteries are cheaper than DEWALT batteries. You would need to research each aftermarket battery before purchase. The fact that the voltage matches doesn’t mean it will fit all DEWALT products. Be sure to match up the voltage and size appropriately.

This World Cup is going to be a big one for the U.S. And if it was of the two, if I was a betting man, I'd be putting all my pesos on Argentina. But something has happened in this cycle, and he is delivering just transcendent moments of poetry, a poet warrior for his nation. He has often struggle - Lionel Messi, undoubtedly, to me, the world's greatest footballer, but playing for the Argentine team, the weight of the shirt has almost felt - the pressure has almost felt like chainmail dragging him down.

Lionel Messi plays as if it were stuck inside this sock. Eduardo Galeano, the Uruguayan poet, said about him that Maradona may have played as if the ball was glued to his shoe. In a world in which we love our athletes - almost be demigods - Messi looks like he's just wandered out of your local Supercuts, 5-foot-6, squat, scruffy.

You have your Maradonas, whose career was like the last scene of "Scarface" lived out on a football field. KELLY: So how did you pick? What's the methodology here?īENNETT: You have your Peles.
