Having the chance to do a painting on your own is a form of expression of your being and your imagination. Sometimes, it creates an illusion for its viewers and to engage them with the painting itself.

Nature is structured into ecosystems that play an important role in keeping the environment and biodiversity healthy.

Building a garden ecosystem enhances biodiversity since it attracts a host of wildlife and provides them with food and a safe habitat for living and reproducing. Such an ecosystem also benefits the environment by limiting air, water and soil pollution. It also regulates local atmospheric temperature and flow of water. Specific types of garden ecosystems also allow for organic farming that permits Continue reading...

The rock I found was gray in color and appeared to be silky in the sun. As I checked the internet to identify the kind of rock I found, I learned that it was slate. This kind of rock is found in some garden in my neighborhood, with some used as slate gravel while others as stepping stones. Not far from my house, I saw a house with slate as its roof.
Judging by the color and texture of my rock, and the powdery grain that was left in my hands after rubbing it, I surmised that ash is Continue reading...

In the succeeding paragraphs, this essay will try to analyze and explain how those themes are present and are related from one story to Continue reading...

Question 2.

In reading the stories “Hills like White Elephants” and “The Unicorn in the Garden”, the authors Ernest Hemmingway and James Thurber have introduced strong symbolisms. The first aspect to strike when reading both these stories is how the characters themselves are symbolic of life and death. In “Hills Like white Elephants”, the girl Jig, symbolizes life. She is the one who wants to have a baby. She wants to break away from the life of staleness where all she and her husband ever do is “look at things and try new drinks”. Instead she wants to welcome life – a Continue reading...

Considering the effects of cover crop and intercropping on garden settings

1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Sustainable agricultural production systems, otherwise known as agroecosystems, employ a variety of techniques to maintain environmental quality. Cover crops are one strategy used by growers to preserve and enhance soil resources because of their impacts on soil-nutrient dynamics (such as nitrogen and carbon fixation)and microbiological functions (Steenworth and Belina, 2008). Cover crops such as cereal grass, hairy vetch, and oilseed radish, manage problems in an agroecosystem such as soil quality, erosion and fertility, water quality, pests and weeds because they tend to be less resource intensive than other crops and instead contribute to the Continue reading...

- What three wishes would you make upon meeting a magic fish? Would the wishes be for yourself, for someone else you know, or for others in the world around them. Now make three new wishes, one in each of these categories (you, someone else, the world). Discuss your reasoning behind each of your choices.
For myself, I would wish that I have everything needed to be happy. If I wish for, say, a million dollars, I may find out later that I don’t need that much money or that having so much money brings too many problems. Continue reading...

Urban Farming is a new methodology of introducing farming to cities and to the urban landscape, particularly on top of buildings where it can be positioned conveniently for enough sun exposure and soil placement. Such examples include Brooklyn Grange Urban Farm and the roof garden in the Waldorf Astoria. Both exemplify that farming activities can be done in urban places.
I have observed several differences between the two urban farms. It can also be contested that Waldorf Astoria is more like a garden than a farm due to its smaller scale compared to the urban farm in Brooklyn. And Continue reading...

Part I

The various foodstuffs, liquids and other substances that were tested for their basicity or acidity include; lemon juice, sprite, milk, green tea and shampoo. The shampoo liquid changed the blue litmus paper pink while the red litmus paper remained red. This indicated that shampoo is a weak acid. The lemon juice turned the blue litmus paper red while the red litmus remained red. Therefore, lemon juice is a strong acid and that is why it tests sour. In addition, sprite made the blue litmus paper turn pink while the red litmus paper remained red. On the other hand, the Continue reading...

The Japanese Garden

Culture is a set of traditions, habits, values, and norms that a group of people share. That is as basic as definition goes. What it implies though is that culture is intricate, deeply-rooted in a person or nation's psyche, and is quite definitive of a people group's identity. Unfortunately for the outsider, like an entire language to be learned, a group of people's culture takes tremendous amount of time to learn - a lifetime would not be an exaggeration.
But for the person who marries as foreigner, or for a merchant wanting to expand overseas, a lifetime is a Continue reading...

Chapter Reviews from Cities of Tomorrow

2. The City of Dreadful Night
In Chapter 2, “The City of Dreadful Night,” Hall discusses the terrible working and living conditions in cities during the industrial revolution. The living conditions in Victorian London and other industrialized cities, caused by migration and economic restructuring, led to revolts, middle class fears of working class revolts and a growing number of researchers and reformers interested in learning more about or improving conditions in cities. There were significant fears of revolt in London in the 1880s following the 1884 Reform Act. The rapid growth of urban population created various problems and required Continue reading...

Service learning narrative essay

Summary

There have been increases on institutional based activities in the neoliberal state, as well as increased consequences of neo-liberalism since 1980s. Schools, hospitals, jails, hospitals, as well as clinical settings have the populations at most risk. This article hides its meaning over the connotative term known as community garden, and it acts as a link between the history of garden projects with advances concerning the supposedly transformative power of gardening practice for individual change, as well as social transformation. The article Continue reading...

Exhibit Advertisement

An exhibition is to be held at the Aberrant Art Gallery, Seabreeze Blvd, Daytona Beach, Florida next month, and the exhibition will have some of the greatest exhibits ever collected and shown in one place. What makes the exhibition so attractive is that it will have for the first time, paintings of some of the finest artists ever. Also, the Art Gallery is about the best place to hold the exhibition because of its location, and picturesque landscape. Wouldn’t it be excruciatingly unimaginable to have some of the greatest works of artists of the nineteenth century, worth millions Continue reading...

The soul of a place takes birth when the inhabitants start connecting with it and develop a relationship with the place. With time this bond gets stronger and stronger and a sort of harmony gets established with the very existence of the place. The ‘habitus’ that develops around is instilled in the vibrations that the place emanates and this can be felt by the visitor. Stourhead is one such place with varied history connected with all its buildings and land features. Anyone moving around can connect with the story behind its different landscapes and get a taste of the Continue reading...

As far back as Western thought dates, thinkers have endeavored to define, or create a framework for what they term as The Ideal Society. Such an undertaking presupposes an understanding of human nature, which endeavors to understand what brings an individual person happiness and contentment and how can a society be structured to maximize that. For me an ideal societ is one where people are free to do what they believe will bring them happiness. My name is Joyce Huang, I am the creator of the Utopia named City Garden.
Garden city is a safe place with a warm Continue reading...

Gallantly seated on a seemingly striding horse was the statue of George Washington at the Boston Pubic Garden. Its historical backdrop could reportedly be traced 157 years ago in 1857 when a sculptor by the name of Thomas Ball was allegedly commissioned to create it . Cast in bronze, the statue of George Washington’s face slightly veers to his left, with an apparent serious look at the spacious expanse of the magnificent garden. He is donned in a military outfit of his time with the prominent sergeant hat, an overcoat, and a sword protruding from his vestment. His right Continue reading...

The Poem “A Forsaken Garden” captures the audience not for its simplicity, but for its complexity and the authors deep, and rich reflective thoughts.

The persona is awed by the neglect of the garden and thinks through the possibility of life for the very garden. In his imagination, he sees two young lovers who might have stood in the blooming garden wowed by the beauty of the sea as they confirmed their love Continue reading...

I concur with the author of this post that affluenza is actually a disease that we need get rid of as a society. I like the manner in which the author quotes George Washington’s relation to modern affluenza. I concur that the founders of our nation set a precedence of affluenza. In my analysis, I find the criticism from Carl Marx on affluenza as a great attempt to tame the habit that many of America’s founders exhibited. Marx asserted that “too many useful goods create too many useless people”. Like the author of this post, I too Continue reading...

The Islamic Mentality among Wisdom and Philosophy

In Candide, by Voltaire, I like the part in the book when (Paquette and Girofle) stops at a roadside farm and the farmer kindly invites them to a pleasant dinner. He only has a small farm, but the old man and his family work hard on it and lives an acceptable existence. Candide finds the farmer’s life appealing. He, Cunégonde, and his friends decide to follow it, and everyone is satisfied by hard work in the garden. Pangloss suggests to Candide once again that this is the best of possible worlds. Candide responds, “That is very well Continue reading...

They were the only two of their kind in the forest; the story in part describes the snails to have been the “aristocratic race in the world.” This only shows how noble the two white Continue reading...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal. The parasite affects the anterior gastrointestinal tract of the bird, forms granulomatous lesions, and blocks the oesophagus, making the bird starve, thus leading to death. The virulence of the strain varies with some strains causing up to 75% mortality. In UK, the infection was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of British finches in summer of 2005. The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and Continue reading...

Gender roles and gender-related stereotypes are often depicted in literary works. For example, Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth” could be considered misogynistic because it promotes the stereotype that women are the root of all evil, manipulate men for their selfish needs, and create chaos because all female characters in the play show that form of behavior. On the other hand, it is also possible to notice the lack of stability and logic in the main character Macbeth who is depicted as a naïve, indecisive, and dependent character. In “Candide,” it is possible to notice that Voltaire depicts the vulnerability Continue reading...

Compare and contrast Laura and Rose, the two main characters in ‘The Garden Party’ and ‘Half a Grapefruit.’

Despite their differences, Laura and Rose have a lot in common. In both stories they are young girls who are faced with the reality of death at an early age. The way Mansfield and Munro write the stories is also similar: first person narrative is not used, but each story is clearly told from the central character’s point of view: in ‘The Garden Party’ we see everything through Laura’s eyes; in ‘Half a Grapefruit’ Rose’s consciousness filters what Continue reading...
