will be the best in insulator. I will have to bung up the end of the test tube as well because heat will be lost by convection currents. By keeping the test tubes well insulator the water molecules should be zooming around in the water at the same speed for a longer time with all that trapped heat energy. Prediction I predict that polystyrene will be the best insulator against all the others. I think though it will result in the end being really close though and maybe another insulator will be better

Velocity The word‚ velocity‚ originates from the Latin word‚ vēlōcitās‚ meaning swiftness or speed. Velocity is one of the basic words used in mathematics and physics and forms the basis for the more important formulae used in high level study of these subjects.

Daniel Pink argues that there are three main elements of internal motivation‚ which he calls ‘Autonomy’‚ ‘Mastery’ and ‘Purpose’. These may seem pretty much common sense‚ but many managers forget how internal drive to motivation may be. Pink’s ideas may well identify why external motivators don’t work effectively all the time. Let’s take a look at the three ideas

Being Mastery After reading this chapter‚ I started to know what leadership from the inside out means. Maharishi said “as long as the outer life is connected with the inner values of being‚ then all the avenues of outer life will be rich and glorious.” We have been given life since we were born.
