But the history of this saying has a lot of significance to physics in terms of vectors, scalars, displacement and distance. Rome was the heart of activity during the times of the Roman Empire. Every road in the empire would either directly lead to Rome or link to a major road leading to Rome. Putting this into the physics perspective, vectors, scalars, displacements and distance are measurements that have a starting point and an endpoint.

There are three grand theories providing theoretical framework for studying human development: psychoanalytic theory, behaviorism and cognitive theory.

Ericson, who also contributed to the psychoanalytic theory, offered different classification of development stages. Each stage has its unique needs, motivation drivers, challenges and relationships.

In our continuing series of athletics training at Taylor Centre, it is important to engage in reasonable emergency response plan. It involves the preparedness, response and finally recovery to reduce the unnecessary impact of the disaster. This is an important exercise since it increases productivity; reduce absenteeism as result of illness, improve the player’s morale and reduces compensation rates. A team without this reasonable means of response can be compared to a city without walls which can be invaded by any danger. Emergency response is what guarantees safety against any unintended external attacks (Gerilyne, 2006)
