The Golden Mean in Anatomy The Golden Mean is a mysterious number that has been found in plants, humans, art and even architecture. It was first discovered and studied by ancient mathematicians in Egypt a very long time ago. In the study of mathematics one realizes that many patterns often occur. None have been more relevant or fascinating that the golden ratio. The golden ratio has many names and is often referred to as the golden section, golden mean, golden proportion and golden cut. The golden
basically says that if you divide any screen (television/movie/computer/smartphone) into a grid of equal thirds, the eye is naturally attracted to the 4 points on the grid where those lines intersect (this rectangle is commonly referred to as The Golden Section). Look familiar? It should: if you’ve ever turned on the “Grid” function on your iPhone camera, then you’ve been using The Rule of Thirds for years. So, try using this grid when choosing an image (most photo-editing software programs have something
Fibonacci Sequence is the Golden Ratio which is typically used when discussing the ratio of distances (wolfram alpha). The ratio is approximately 1.6180. It is found by this formula φ= (1+√5)/2≈1.61803 . The ratio has been surrounded by mystery since the time of the ancient Greeks. Many scholars look at the Parthenon statues (built by Phidias, from 490-430 BC) and believe that they were built using the Golden Ratio. Euclid, during his lifetime, became the first to define this ratio. He defined it as “extreme
My infatuation in fractals began freshmen year at Greeley after taking a Seminar with one of the seniors. I’m not sure exactly when simple interest turned to a kind of obsession, but during that lesson something seemed to click. It seemed as if this was the universe’s answer to everything; the mystery was solved, however complex the answer was to understand. I’m still not sure if I was misunderstanding the lesson, or if I had somehow seen it for what it really was; a pattern to describe the way the
The following report will be discussing the implementation of ‘Golden rules’ in the practitioner’s setting to help manage and support the behaviour of children aged three to five years old. The need for this implementation was discovered through a SWOT analysis the practitioner conducted keeping in focus the safety of the children. A Swot analysis is a tool used to identify an organisation or settings strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (ODI, 2009). The strengths and weaknesses are related

Relocating to Germany would mean that the business must consider how the different law systems will affect them as a business, therefore they must establish the differences between English common law and the civil law. The English common law is set based on decisions made by the higher courts, judicial opinion and similar cases which is known as “doctrine of Stare decisis ” while the civil law consists of a “codified set of laws” . The common law involves the judges making the decisions, setting
all time high. Klay Thompson's seems to be at its lowest point since his rookie and sophomore seasons, if that. Their roles in the offense differ, however. J.R Smith plays about 25 minutes a game, to Klay's 35. Thompson is looked upon to do more for Golden State, which includes but is not limited to: guarding the opposing team's best perimeter player, coming off screens for threes, and a higher volume of shots attempted. However, it is J.R Smith who's production will be more vital. The Cavaliers thankfully
Greek Philosophers such as Plato, who believed that one of the reasons why we believe certain things were beautiful like art or architecture was because there was something that made us connect with those objects in our senses. That's why when someone looks at a painting for instance, and they feel sad or happy or they feel overwhelmed. "Beauty was deemed to be an essential ingredient in a good life and so what it was, where it was to be found, and how it was to be included in a life were prime considerations
The ethics behind a CEO making 300 times more than an average worker. "The problem in America today isn 't that some people are getting rich. We 'd probably all like to be rich. The problem is, most people are getting nowhere,” David Bonior (D-MI) has argued. Why is it that Chief Executive Officers of large companies are making upwards of 500 times more than their average worker? And why are some CEOs only making $1 per year in salary? This paper gives a forefront for different types of CEOs, including
