pos: adj
examples: For example, some communities set up TNG (The Next Generation) groups to address the issue of young people coming into communities and being overwhelmed by attention from much older, and more experienced, dominants (a dynamic which is exacerbated by many older submissives having left the community following non-consensual experiences, MacAulay Millar, 2012).
Research on these topics at college campuses might be difficult to conduct, particularly if the researchers do not want to focus on people who already identify with the BDSM community. The researchers might want to connect with local TNG (The Next Generation, for people 18-35 years old) groups, whose members might attend college.
When asked about the demographic makeup of her TNG group, Megan explained that it was fairly diverse. Most participants are queer.
He also noted that older crowds tended to be a lot more sexual in their play, and that many of the older folx in the community also were often members of other alternative lifestyle communities, namely that of “swinging.” This, he explained, is different from most of the TNG crowd, who are at BDSM clubs to participate in things like suspensions, needle play, extreme degradation and S&M, pony or puppy play, etc.
Many kink communities have a TNG group in their area, and local dungeons will have TNG play party nights where only members who are 18-35 can attend.

Nevertheless, the strong political reasons which supported developmentalism had vanished before the World Bank made its diagnosis.
By invoking developmentalism as more than a statist project for economic growth and one that is also led by an imperative to generate well-being among citizens, I focus on the discursive and other practices through which developmentalism is experienced as a condition, a mode of being and a lived experience.
When President Dwight Eisenhower took office in the United States in 1953, he took a decisive stand against developmentalism, which he regarded as a threat to the commercial interests of America's multinational companies.

They include "Imaginariums" in shopping malls, where youngsters try out their newly learned skills before the public. Other parts of the programs include performances by professional actors and arts workshops for teachers.
An inner city middle school class under teacher supervision constructed an Imaginarium to create interest in astronomy within science studies. Made from black plastic sheeting held together with duct tape to form a giant plastic bag inflated through a sleeve by a large window fan, students entered the Imaginarium to add their imaginative or real (e.g., the Big Dipper) design for creating a starry, and often pretty accurate, "night sky."
First, to get the explicit culture-war stuff out of the way: To go deep into the temples of the Disney imaginarium is to feel the irrelevance of any merely political assault upon its cultural position.

It refers to the ingo and outgo and what takes place with the ingo, what becomes of it, how it is changed into the material that goes out, what is built up, what is assimilated, how the changes take place here and there. That is all metabolism.
We have to get a better balance between our ingo and our outgo – calories consumed and calories expended.

pos: noun
examples: We may pass by a large number of truly mental phenomena as not being necessarily attended with consciousness, and in these the relation of the transformation of Energy, or the doing of work, is probably the same as obtains in ordinary vital or metabolic action, viz., the ingo of force through stimuli and pabulum exactly balances the outgo in the form of heat, mechanical movement, and the potential energy still remaining in the living matter, or its products, while nothing is counted for the peculiar properties given by the state of organism.
Now, assuming "ideas of matter" to mean some knowledge of matter, and the " inversion of the outgo" to mean the ingo, which seems rational, and "creative activities" to mean that impulse in matter to evolute as we see it in the cosmos, while the only verbalism we can think of for non-being is nowhere ; then making these substitutions in his formula, and it affords a theorem something like this ; that knowledge of matter is "achieved " by the ingo of the evolutionary change into nowhere.
Furthermore, owing to the aforesaid means of balancing the ingo and outgo of sugar, its percentage in the blood must remain practically constant.
