People coming from different backgrounds and belonging to different race and creed usually encounter conflicts. The different professionals belonging to different races also have different beliefs and opinions. Hence, conflicts arise among them. For instance, an Indian doctor would believe in myth such as drinking eight glasses of water per day is important than a British doctor. The point ...

Rubbish in Design

INTRODUCTION The question of rubbish in design has assumed increasing significance in recent years. The late modernity in artistic expression, particularly in design, has made a strong case of incorporating everyday elements into different artistic expressions including, most notably, painting, sculpture, photography and installations. In so doing, artistic expression has metamorphosed from a rather distanced engagement in "mundane" (made into loftier expressions by professional artistic design) into an actual immersion into day-to-day actualities in order to render "real" objects in different kaleidoscopic representations, particularly in still and video installations. The emergence of rubbish (assuming "rubbish" is disposable objects ridded ...

Cabbage white butterfly is also known as Pieris rapae. These species are flower visitors. They use tubular proboscis to acquire liquids. It consists of “two medially concave, elongated maxillary galeae joined dorsally and ventrally by cuticular projections, termed “legulae,” forming a food canal” (Lehnert et al. 167). Each legula has upper and lower branches. The organ is twisted into a spiral in a quiescent state. Butterfly’s head has a special pump that creates a pressure to move liquid through the food canal to the gut. P. rapae’s average forewing length is about 49.6 mm, while its proboscis’ ...

1. Biofuels are fuels in the gaseous or liquid form and can be rapidly regenerated from sources like crops, plants and municipal waste. Existing biofuels are generated from carbohydrates such as sugar and starch (wheat and sugarcane crops). Existing biofuels, such as ethanol, have a lesser energy content (volumetric energy density) relative to conventional hydrocarbon fuels natural gas and petroleum . Furfural and Levulinic acid are molecules that can be obtained from biomass and converted into biofuels. Levulinic acid can be synthesized in greater amounts (>70%) from inedible hexose bio-polymers such as cellulose, which is a polymer of glucose ...

The permissive parent behaves in a nonpunitive, affirmative, and acceptant manner, and tend to consult the child about policy decisions and the family rules. The authoritarian parent, on the other hand, is more attempting in shaping, controlling, and evaluating the behaviour or attitude of the child consistent with a set of standards or conduct. Lastly, the authoritative parent tend to direct the child in a rational, issue-oriented manner by encouraging verbal give ...

Rockets and newton’s laws of motion

Rockets and newton’s laws of motion

Introduction.

The movement of a rocket from the surface of the Earth to an arrival on the Moon can be clarified and depicted by physical principals found more than three hundred years back by Sir Isaac Newton. He worked in numerous regions of math and material science. He added to the speculations of attractive energy in 1666, when he was just twenty three years of age (Loeschnig & Zweifel, 1999). Newton's first law expresses that each item stays very still or in uniform movement in a straight line unless constrained to change its state by the ...

Introduction

There are many advantages to designing a building using economically and environmentally sustainable methods. Although “green” construction materials and technologies cost more in the short term, in the long run green strategies have been shown to save money. By “going green,” the owners of the building will enjoy lower utility bills and higher resale values later on. More efficient heating and cooling will not only save on costs but will be less taxing on the environment. The key to effective green building has to do with the performance and cost trade-offs associated with the different design methods. As an example, ...

Art and architecture: Term paper

Introduction The history of Chinese and Japanese architecture and design confirms a close connection between these two nations, their common Far-Eastern roots. At the same time, they have deep distinctions. Japanese architecture took a lot from Chinese traditions over centuries - therefore we cannot consider it separately. In a number of aspects differences between them show that the Chinese architecture and interior design are essentially older than Japanese. Long before AD, Chinese culture and art had achieved an advanced stage of development in planning and constructive solutions. As for the Japanese, they have been building lightly built houses for a ...

Throughout history, the phrase ‘sustainable agriculture” has been subjected to a variety of definitions. This lack of consensus in terms of defining sustainable agriculture has resulted in a situation whereby no real progress has been made when it comes to conservative agricultural practices. The purpose of writing this letter is to advocate for the formulation of a unified definition of sustainable agriculture. As the official body charged with such issues, I urge the Office of Sustainability to look into this matter immediately. Currently, the agricultural practices taking place in our nation are to a huge part environmentally non-conservative. Conventional farming techniques have ...

It has been roughly 7 decades since the Second World War came to an end, culminating in a much-anticipated victory of the Allies over the countries representing the Axis Power. While gradually defeating the major belligerents, as Germany, Japan, and Italy, and fighting their way forward towards the heart of the evil alliance, aka Germany, the forces of the USA, the UK, France, and the USSR would often encounter specific facilities for prisoner detention. Concentration camps used to be detention facilities in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, the year that the Allies inflicted a crushing defeat on the Axis Power, ...

Peasant families during medieval times lived horrendous lives. People who were born as peasants lived their entire lives as peasants with no opportunity to advance from this lowest rung of the socio-economic levels at the time. Peasants had two types of work – they were either farmers or craftsmen. The farmers worked for the Lord of the Manor, who in turn worked for the Lord. During these times, the Lords owned large parcels of land, the equivalent of a county, by today’s measurements. Peasant farmers earned their keep by farming and harvesting their crops. They paid taxes to the ...

Transparent Solar Spray-On Film SolarWindow

Introduction There was a time when there were all-green residential buildings. For example, Nomadic Mongolians used to cart their felt-and-wooden yurts around using four-wheeled wagons. Other communities used earthen roundhouses that were made of wattle, straw and mud; indigenous Americans and Spaniards had made perfect the art of adobe dwelling. Therefore, it can be said that prior to the Industrial Revolution, building materials for residential dwellings comprised of straw, mud, timbers, stone and various locally available ingredients. These homes could be described as having been sustainable by default. However, during and after the industrial revolution, residential homes which are ...

Social class is a paradigm that forms stereotypes in many people and often hinders substantial insights and cooperation (Gilbert, 1998). There are variances like appearances, which hinder the correct adherence to the correct judgments. There are certain appearances and traits that are physical and deceiving to the society. As an analyst, there are several means of detecting these appearance stereotypes. From the general appearance, one may decide to evaluate a person based on the skin tan, and dress code. For instance, a slightly tanned skin may depict a personality of higher social class that the one with a pale skin tan. These and other ...

Death is one of the most fascinating and complex issues facing humanity, and each culture has their own perspective on it – its role in Japanese literature, in particular, showcases the pervasiveness and normalcy with which death is treated in Japanese culture. Death plays a significant role in Tsuruya Nanboku's Yotsuya Ghost Stories and The Straw Sandal; both plays show a world that is plagued by death, where people kill without remorse, where death haunts people in the form of spirits, and no matter what you do, you cannot escape it. Death is something that is normal according to Nanboku; throughout ...

Imagine being born surrounded by violence and war; a conflict that has no purpose nor ultimate objective other than to take lives; an environment of aggression and brutality that had no meaningful root causes and is typified by people who are murderous and bloodthirsty. Again, imagine being reminded what a beautiful country you were born into; a country with a natural splendor and spectacular urban architecture, much of it – like the mosques – of Islamic origin. Conversely, envision growing up encircled by never-ending bloody killings being perpetrated one after another, and cruel-minded young soldiers who use violence and war as a way of life ...

In the 18th century prison conditions were deplorable. The number of crimes punishable by death had soared to 200.

Abstract

The Three Little Pigs is a well-known short story with many interpretations, from capitalism to the struggle between good and evil, to the way in which a broken childhood can cause a person to grow up with anti-social behaviours. No one interpretation is conclusively correct. Moreover, it is likely that any of them could be applied to the ambiguous story, and that each reader should be free to make their own decision.

The Three Little Pigs is a short story that has been retold countless times since it was originally written. There are many interpretations of the text, some more convincing than ...
