Wet And Messy Fetishism
Wet and messy fetishism (WAM), also known as sploshing, is a form of sexual fetishism involving a person or persons getting messy with a variety of materials, such as food, mud, chemicals, and water. The word "sploshing" originates from a defunct UK fetish magazine named ''Splosh!''. Overview Many people with WAM fetishes are drawn to the tactile sensations of wet or messy substances against their skin. Others prefer the visual appeal of others getting wet or messy with products that have different textures, consistencies, and colours. Common themes are subjects being pied or having slime dumped on them, or having substances poured inside clothing as it is being worn. Substances used in WAM play can be edible or non-edible, but do not include bodily fluids. WAM fetish videos (made by both fans and commercial producers) may include nudity and sexual acts, while others may only feature fully clothed participants. Videos can frequently be seen on public video hosting sites like Y ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Academic Grading In Australia
Academic grading systems in Australia include: Tertiary institutions Australian universities issue results for each subject, based on the following gradings: Note that the numbers above do not correspond to a percentile, but are notionally a percentage of the maximum raw marks available. Various tertiary institutions in Australia have policies on the allocations for each grade and scaling may occur to meet these policies. These policies may vary also according to the degree year (higher percentages for later years), but generally, only 2–5% of students who pass (that is, who achieve raw marks of 50 or more) may be awarded a High Distinction grade, and 50% or more of passing students are awarded a basic Pass grade. Raw marks for students who fail are not scaled and do not increase the allocations of higher grades. Some universities also have a Pass Conceded (PC) grade for marks that fall in the range of 45–49 inclusive. A few universities do not issue numeric grades ou ...

Walmer Railway Station
Walmer railway station serves Walmer in Kent, England. The station and all trains serving it are operated by Southeastern. Facilities The station has two platforms, connected by a subway. A ticket office is open part-time. History The first plans for a station here were by the Kent Railway in 1836. However, Walmer was slow to grow as a resort compared to many other towns on the Kent coastline, and progress stalled. Further schemes to connect Walmer to the railway network were proposed in November 1846 and March 1854, but neither secured sufficient funding. The London, Chatham & Dover Railway (LDCR) announced plans for a line between Walmer, and Adisham in October 1872, but failed to secure the funding from Parliament. Construction of the station was delayed owing to problems buying the relevant land, and it cost £14,000 to build. The station was opened on 15 June 1881 by the Dover and Deal Joint Railway when it opened the line from an end-on connection at to Buckley Juncti ...

Wind Wave Model
In fluid dynamics, wind wave modeling describes the effort to depict the sea state and predict the evolution of the energy of wind waves using numerical techniques. These simulations consider atmospheric wind forcing, nonlinear wave interactions, and frictional dissipation, and they output statistics describing wave heights, periods, and propagation directions for regional seas or global oceans. Such wave hindcasts and wave forecasts are extremely important for commercial interests on the high seas. For example, the shipping industry requires guidance for operational planning and tactical seakeeping purposes. For the specific case of predicting wind wave statistics on the ocean, the term ocean surface wave model is used. Other applications, in particular coastal engineering, have led to the developments of wind wave models specifically designed for coastal applications. Historical overview Early forecasts of the sea state were created manually based upon empirical rela ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Women's Art Movement
The Women's Art Movement (WAM) was an Australian feminist art movement, founded in Sydney in 1974, Melbourne in 1974, and Adelaide in 1976 (as the Women's Art Group, or WAG). Background Such movements had already been created in other countries, in which women artists looked at their position as women in society and their position as artists through a feminist framework. The visit by US feminist art critic Lucy Lippard in 1975 provided the immediate impetus for the creation of the new movement in Australia. She spoke to women-only groups in Melbourne and Adelaide about the creation of archives of women artists' work on photographic slides, known as slide registers, by a network of American women artists who called themselves the West-East Bag (WEB); the idea was to counteract their lack of showing in art galleries. Run as collectives, the groups facilitated consciousness-raising studio and exhibition workshops, aiming to analyse the political implications of personal experiences ...
