Blake starts his poem with a pastoral ...

Implications of Erecting Additional Transmission Lines

Introduction
Auckland is one of the regions in New Zealand. Auckland does not have many power generation sites like the other regions in New Zealand. However, the demand characteristics for Auckland are still high and are projected to increase due to population growth and economic development. Given that many of the energy production sites have been developed and the development of the remaining sites faces opposition from environmental groups, the viable options for easing the supply issues in Auckland include the development of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy, the optimization of the current transmission network ...

Introduction

Over time, the growth of a city of a locality leads to the increase in the demand for electricity. The growth in population and the commercial activity puts pressure on the national grid. Without commensurate investments in the generation of power, the increase in demand results in shortages. To supplement the shortage of electricity in the region, more power can be brought in from the generation sources. However, this is complicated if the power generation plants are located far away. This is because more high voltage overhead transmission lines would be required. The Ministry for the Environment (2010) finds ...

The costs associated with restoration that is insufficient is rather on the high side in both the short term as far as well as in the long term. Employers are continually seeking ways to improve the lives of their employees by mitigating the problems related to overwork and the like. These provisions that ...

Modernism created Post-Modernism and the emergence of these two influential art movements created a lasting impact on the artists’ perception of iconography. The history concerning modernism dates back in the Renaissance period since the majority of the artists at that time explored various kinds of iconography such as painting mythological creatures, portraiture, and humanism which contrasts the iconography of the Medieval period. But the lasting effects of the modern period were felt in the early 19th century up to the early phase of the 20th century. The concept of Modernism meant an improvisation of the existing artistic trend by ...

Tennyson, “The Eagle”. Discussion Question: How is the solitary eagle’s strength emphasized in the first stanza? Does the reader “join” the eagle in the second stanza? How or how not?
The reader joins the eagle in his dive in the second stanza through the metaphorical comparison with a thunderbolt. Captivated by the bird’s masterful and exact description in the first part of the poem, the reader has no choice but to follow the eagle’s majestic fall towards the water. This is also achieved by the personification of the predator, as the author uses pronouns “he”, and “ ...

When taking the first look at this painting, it is impossible not to notice a vast discrepancy between the positive and the negative space of it. The positive space takes up the major and central part of the painting, particularly pushing the negative space aside in the upper half of the canvas. The disproportionate amount of the positive space against the negative space is prominent in this painting. Therefore, the figure of a woman appears to be instantly grasping one’s attention, and the focus is drawn to the upper half of the woman’s body. This is what ...

The goal of this essay is to provide artwork analysis of three contemporary paintings such as Whitney’s Cold Moon Dancer, Sheehan’s I Never Planned to Have You Here, and Dugas’ Wake. These three works of art exemplifies the influences of modernism due to the fact that artists explored different artistic styles in order to portray their subjects from a different perspective. From that point, the resulting paintings were brave, bolder, and revolutionary in a sense that these works broke the traditional art forms of either ‘humanizing’ or illustrating realistic and religious figures. For instance, Whitney’s Cold ...

Edgar Allen Poe wrote “The Raven” in 1945. The poem shows how lost love can lead to depression. Depression, and mental illness in general, is a topic common to many of Poe’s works, and he often uses an unreliable narrator as one of the primary means of showing such depression. Following the death of the woman he loved, a male speaker narrates “The Raven,” and through this first person account, the reader is allowed a glimpse of his descent into madness. Through the poem, Poe demonstrates to how the experience of losing a loved one can propel someone ...

These paintings come from a ten-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with a fairly severe cause of autism. He has to have someone sitting next to him if he is going to make art. He was supplied with a variety of sponges and paint to make patterns. Their repetitive nature comes from the fact that if you do not prompt him in a different direction, he keeps doing the same thing over and over.
When I look at the paintings at lower left, lower right and upper right, I am somewhat surprised that this is only a ten-year-old making ...

The Modern period from the late 19th to the early phase of the 20th century served as the catalyst for the beginning of avant-garde works of different artists whose works isolated their styles from the rest of the artistic movements that emerged in the previous eras. These new designs spearheaded the development of the comic book art wherein the iconography of the subjects attempted to portray the real world yet in an animated way without closely resembling the reality. The artists who popularized these method includes Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Larry Rivers each of the defined the early ...

In Christopher Marlowe’s poem “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love,” a humble shepherd waxes philosophical about all of the things that he would like to do to and for the woman that he loves. Given all the time in the world, he would certainly make good on all of these proclamations of offerings and activities. However, Sir Walter Raleigh’s rebuttal poem “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” gives a far more realistic and critical view of the shepherd’s promises, declaring that there is simply not enough time in life to do all of these things. Between these ...

The Muller-Lyer illusion is a useful tool for investigating the effects of the environment on human perception. The illusion shows that humans use the surroundings of an object to make a judgment of the size of that object, which is not necessarily accurate. The theory of size constancy suggests that we can usually make a judgment about the size of an object based on depth perception, the nearby objects, what we already know, and other factors. The Muller-Lyer illusion is an example of that system being tricked due to the presence of an acute or obtuse angle. It is ...

Opened in 1962, the Trans World Flight Center of the John F. Kennedy Airport is one of the finest structures belonging to the Organic Modern Period that emerged in the mid-20th century.1 What makes this style truly remarkable was the fact that it is based on neo-futuristic designs as well as embodying strict adherence to geometrical proportions, the creation of functional space for the passengers, aircraft, employees, and maintaining harmonious interaction of the structure in its environment.2
The structure was designed by Eero Saarinen, a notable architect and one of the prolific figures that proposed designing the concept of ...

William Kentridge (South African artist)

William Kentridge is a famous South African artist who draws and erases with charcoal. What is interesting about him is that he records his compositions at each stage and creates a video projection of the re-worked source drawings.

William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 73” is one of his easiest to read and, simultaneously, one of his most interesting poems. It covers several themes but the main theme is of aging, and the passing of time. The unhappy speaker muses about his impeding old age, and how this reminds him about the importance of love. Shakespeare uses many literary and stylistic devices to convey and enhance this theme. As the title suggests, the poem is in Shakespearian sonnet form, with fourteen lines and a rhyming scheme. The speaker and setting are inextricably linked and are central to the poem. ...

The popular perception that rap music is an expression of the African Americans’ struggle for social equality seems to have some basis. This is especially true when considering that rap music originates, or at least become popularized, by Black artists who have expressed their racial sentiments through songs that have become expressions of their racial opinions, such as those concerning bigotry. Such is the case in the popularity of Tupac Shakur and the rap group, Public Enemy, specifically on how the Black Americans are able to relate to their songs’ themes on racial bias suffered by Blacks under a ...

The poem “Love In Place”, written by Nikki Giovanni, is dedicated to the theme of love. It is clear that the poem is very personal and the poet shares the most intimate thoughts and emotions that she felt her life. In her sonnet the Giovanni tries to identify what is love and what this feeling means to her. Thinking about her past memories, the speaker tries to understand whether she has ever fallen in love in her life. This question seems to be rather significant for the poet. Moreover, while thinking about love, she tries to find some evidences ...

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 by design mocks the traditional love poems of Shakespeare’s times. More traditional love poems were rife with exaggerated comparisons that extolled the beauty of the beloved. Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 outright makes fun of such things in lines like the opening: “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;” (1). While much of his poem is spent describing her lover’s shortcomings, in the end he claims to love her.
Shakespearean sonnets are fourteen lines long and consist of four parts (Kennedy n.p.; Owen 260). The first three parts known as quatrains each consist ...

The enclosed rhyme wraps the middle two lines between the first and the last, and rhyming them by pairs. This makes the reading not as fluent as if it ...

Crafting a Multi-Genre Script for Edification

When one launches oneself into writing a piece meant to educate and thus edify a community or society two things to be observed are factual correctness (accuracy) and popular appeal (populist success). The word play here is no fancy. One word used in the place of another with little defect of meaning does not mean they are absolute synonyms. Edification is education with the difference that it does not slip away in future. A homily on environmental protection that warns against littering in the community is an “edict” to be honoured. The edict becomes most effective by universalising it. ...

I/O modules are normally the third most vital constituent of computer systems after the memory and the CPU. The requirements for computer systems are to have an efficient means for receiving inputs and delivering outputs. Computer systems have a variety of peripherals that deliver data at different speeds, in a wider variety of sizes and at different formats. External devices are generally not connected to the expansion or the systems bus structure of computer systems (Tarnoff 350). The problem arises in that I/O modules are slower than the RAM and the CPU, but a handful are actually faster. The ...

Through Athens I am thought as fair as she.

But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so.
He will not know what all but he do know.
And as he errs, doting on Hermia’s eyes,

Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. (Shakespeare 142)
Now, there can be no denial of the fact that the play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, penned by William Shakespeare is one of the most celebrated and critically acclaimed works in the ...

Discussion of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to hear a poem before reading it? In his poem “Introduction to Poetry”, Billy Collins suggests the reader presses an “ear against its hive” regarding poetry. This is so true in the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Besides the beautiful, simplistic imagery conveyed in the poem, Robert Frost urges the reader, to consider a risk versus reward approach to life, where the greater rewards come from the greater risks.
Frost sets a scene for the reader, a fairly common experience, walking a path through an autumnal wood. “Two roads diverged in ...

In the poem “Easter Wings” by George Herbert, form is used effectively to convey the mood and attitude of the poem. It is a religious-themed poem, in which the speaker is praising God for His gifts to man and the world.

The grace of God, however, helps man to overcome these obstacles and “feel this day Thy victorie.” (line 18)

Duke Alfonso II of Modena and Ferrara (1559 – 1597) married Lucrezia de Doctors and she died four years after the wedding in mysterious circumstances. This is the starting point for Browning’s poem.

“The Breather” by Billy Collins is an interesting poem which conveys the theme of lonely love. Not that many poems cover the darker, isolated side of love, and this could be partly what makes this poem so memorable. Collins uses a seemingly mild-mannered, pensive speaker to narrate the poem, which creates a contemplative, conversational tone for the reader. Conversational language and imagery are also noticeable throughout, allowing ...

Sherman Alexie’s poem “Evolution” is a scathing indictment of the white European settlement of the Americas, and the subsequent subjugation of the Native American people. By spinning the tale of white conquest over the Natives, and the economic dependence the Natives were forced to have on whites after that, into a fable involving famed Western icon Buffalo Bill, Alexie satirically points out the hypocrisy by which the white Western narrative makes a fable out of the removal of Native peoples and culture from their own hands.
The poem begins with the establishment of Buffalo Bill, who “opens a ...

There are many historical pieces of literature that continues to be read, studied and analyzed in order to understand the characters and events in, both, broader and focused, respects.

In the case of “Oedipus the King” the story has very taboo subject matter, dark foreshadowing and an entirely tragic ending. Oedipus’s choice to blind himself is not a selfish act and the story does not really have a just ending. It ...

For centuries, artists continued to paint humanistic iconography based on the works of the Classical Greco-Roman artists; from the medieval perspective, the 15th and the 18th centuries focused on depicting images that were derived from various sources such as mythology and religious scenes.

Summary

The process of developmental of the eye of Drosophila is an important tool for understanding growth and pattern formation of tissues (from poster provided). Cellular interactions and intercellular signaling play a crucial role in this process. In the primary third instar stage an upsurge of differentiation sweeps from the posterior side to the anterior side of the eye disc. The advancing region of this wave is characterized by a morphogenetic furrow (MF), which leads the wave through production of decapentaplegic Dpp and Hh proteins, which subsequently activate the transcription of RD genes. The Dpp serves as a morphogen that ...
