Leisure and Social Stratification
Dave Harris
Xerte
This one considers social stratification (social divisions of class, gender, ethnicity, age) and the relations with leisure. Rates of participation, and likes and dislikes, both seem to be related to social divisions of this kind, but the actual extent of the relation is debateable. Leisure activity always used to be a classic way of indicating your social origins as well as reinforcing them -- men did one type and women another, the classes varied as well. A recent study

5.8 Vibrating air column: standing waves in a cylindrical tube open at both ends
The frequencies at which standing waves can be set up in an air column enclosed by a cylindrical tube that is open at both ends can be determined quite easily. Because both ends are open to the atmosphere, the pressure at these positions always remains at atmospheric pressure. In other words, there is no fluctuation in the pressure at the open ends so they must be pressure nodes (think ‘no-deviation’ in pressure). So, as we saw with the string fixed at both ends, the length L of th

Coral Kid
Although they occupy less than one quarter of one percent of Earth's marine environments, coral reefs are home to more than 25 percent of all known marine fish species. These habitats have been called the "rainforests of the sea," both because they support an abundance of species, and because they are predominantly located in impoverished regions of the globe with high human population growth rates. Reefs are also particularly vulnerable to exploitation, as are most rainforests. In this video se

3.2 CSR reporting
We mentioned earlier three reasons for environmentally friendly behaviour, effectively deriving from personally held values, niche marketing or regulatory pressure. To a large extent the same holds true for ethical behaviour.
Some organisations have a long tradition of good citizenship, ranging from the UK social housing of Bourneville or Port Sunlight, through to community involvement schemes from such as Xerox and IBM. Financial sponsorship of good causes, whether that be artistic end
