Like all ancient people, the Greek thought of temples as houses for the gods. While in Greece the temple plan was derived from the megaron found in Mycenaean palaces, Roman temples were derived from Greek and Etruscan precedents. The Greek temples were decorated with an exterior colonnade, and the statue of the god was housed in the main room (the naos) facing the east where an outdoor altar for sacrifices was placed. The Roman temples borrowed the podium (base) and the frontality of the temple from Etruscan temples. From Greece came the columns, the cella (central room), the porch ( ...

Need for preparation

Concrete surfaces transport moisture and air. Horizontal concrete surfaces such as pavements have higher contents of moisture. There is, therefore, need for adequate preparation and testing before painting such surfaces to maximize long-term durability of the paint. Unlike most surfaces, they are exposed to the destructive effects of nature hence the need for more time to attend to them. The more course and rough concrete surface is the more paint they suck. Painters are bound to use more paint than estimated in their budgets. Mark Dixon in his book House painting inside and out explains that the exterior concrete ...

During the Victorian era, there were assumptions that were made with regard to women in society. Some of the attributes that were associated with women included purity, cleanness and principally disassociated from sexual connotations. They were only expected to perform domestic duties within their households. In a poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson in 1842, The Lady of Shalott, it is clear that there is a major separation of gender roles between men and women and they each had a personal space just meant for them.
A good example is when in the poem talks of the lady’s interior and ...

Fire spread in trade building

Undeniably, the intensity of fire spread in buildings is significantly determined by fire behaviour, which involves but is not limited to stage of fire development, behaviour of fully developed fires inclusive of the temperature development, role of ventilation as well as duration. Moreover, burning behaviour of materials such as energy release rates and mass loss is another fire behaviour that influences spread of fires (Siu, 2008). Upon ignition of a material, fire spreads across it until it becomes completely involved. The rate at which the flame spreads are dependent on the combustion rate of the material, surface area exposed to ...

old-fashioned camera with new functions
Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 NEO-ClASSIC Instant Film Camera is a new product developed by the company Fujifilm whose emergence in the twenty first century might seem odd, since in the era of Instagram where millions of quickly made pictures are posted every day, paper based photos are not probably the best marketing solution.

Berenice Abbott

Q1.
The view of Seventh Avenue comes across as artistic since the photograph carries several elements of artistic expression in images. Among the elements, texture is captured through the angle chosen, where the contours made by the buildings represent the diversity of the city. Light use is artistic, with the street surface being lighter, thus easily marking it out (Sonnentaga, Hufkens, and Teshera-Sternea, 165). This perspective of the city would thrill a New Yorker, by giving them a perspective of the city from above the ground.
Q2.
Abbot means photography that attempts to be as representative as possible to ...

The architecture of The Crystal Palace was dubbed as the “modern English” since the structure was an unusually simple and the lack of ornamentation, the unity, and functionality of the designs reinforce and stabilized the entire glass roofs and walls covering it and allowing the rays of the sunlight to penetrate within the building (Phillips 24-25).
The whole building was also a rejection of traditional materials ...

Improving Sustainability: Yum Brands

Business Sustainability is often defined as the process by which an organization manages its financial standing, social risks and opportunities.

Globalization is “the word most often used and abused, most rarely defined and probably the most misunderstood, nebulous and spectacular, from a political point of view of the last and the future years to come “ (Beck et al, 2003). The subject of globalization gives in to disputes, to passionate reactions, to fears and suspicion, and is invoked as the cause for many of the events and ...

Production processes have been revolutionized by technology. This is because technology has shaped the way products, processes and goods are produced. Technology has enabled people to simulate designs of very complex engines, aircraft models, combustion components and control centers of large ships. Though very complicated, such processes have been understood by carrying out an analysis of the product’s commodity chain. This helps in understanding the production and development of the product. Commodity chain refers to a chain of activities that consist of the labor and production activities, aimed at producing a finished product (Bair 2). These key areas work independently ...

INTRODUCTION

When most people think of the phrase, “survival of the fittest” they think of the African lion dominating his pride or the biggest and strongest muscle bound warrior that outfights all the others, they are most desired by the opposite sex, and seem to have a natural gift for success. However despite that popular interpretation, these ideals and image have very little to do with the true meaning behind the statement “survival of the fittest.” There is a misinterpretation about Darwin’s phrase, which it means something that it was never intended to infer. Firstly, “fittest” as it is termed does ...

Few would argue that Race in America has been one of the biggest social issues since the founding of our country. Race defines politics, socio-economic status, educational and employment opportunities. George Henderson writes in his essay “Race in America” writes, “At some time in their history, all ethnic groups in the United States have been the underclass.” He qualifies this by saying that “Also, at different times, all ethnic groups have been both the oppressed and the oppressors.” (Henderson, 1). That is to say, America is a country where race issues and discrimination about race has always been present. Unfortunately, ...

There are no evidences that are observable about wormholes according to ...

Proportion and visual harmony have always been primary concerns in designing sacred buildings. Although both the Byodo-in in Japan and the Cathedral of Notre-Dame at Reims in France, are world-class examples of beautiful architecture, it is doubtful that the designer of each would appreciate the work of the other. What did these differing approaches consider important, and how are they successful? Where is the sacred in these buildings, how does a believer approach it?
The Cathedral of Notre-Dame at Reims was the coronation place of France. The process of building it began in 1211 and was completed in 1275. ...

It is a calm and seductive night. One is walking on a busy sidewalk in a suburban city. There is really not a single eye catching thing as one walks endlessly along the empty and dull driveways of the neighbourhood houses. Suddenly, a lustrous light spectacle that seems to be emanating from a distance comes into play. As one slowly advance towards this spectacle, you can’t help but wonder what it could be. As the eye begins to gain more focus, the figure depicted in the light spectacle starts taking shape. It is a brand new Honda Accord EX V-6 that is parked in one ...

Introduction

War spins a community or a nation into a retrogressed state of unrest, poverty, lack of democracy and without sober leadership. The aspects leading to war are frequently complex and due to a number of issues. Where clashes arise over matters such as territory, power, resource, or beliefs, and if a peaceable decree fails, or is disillusioned, war often results. In order for a state to indict a war, it must be in possession of the hold up of its leadership, its military crew, and the population. Post-war states present both a considerable challenge and an outstanding opportunity. Three dimensions of policy should be the focus of ...
