...Art in history This article is an overview of the history of the visual arts worldwide. For the academic discipline of art history, see Art history. The Creation of Adam (1508-1512), byMichelangelo, in the Sistine Chapel (Vatican) | * | * | | History of art | * Prehistoric * Ancient * European * Eastern * Islamic * Painting (Western) | Art history | * v * t * e | The history of art is the history of any activity or product made by humans in a visual form for aesthetical or communicative purposes, expressing ideas, emotions or, in general, a worldview. Over time visual art has been classified in diverse ways, from the medieval distinction between liberal arts and mechanical arts, to the modern distinction between fine arts and applied arts, or to the many contemporary definitions, which define art as a manifestation of human creativity. The subsequent expansion of the list ofprincipal arts in the 20th century reached to nine: architecture, dance, sculpture, music, painting, poetry (described broadly as a form of literature with aesthetic purpose or function, which also includes the distinct genres of theatre and narrative), film,photography and graphic arts. In addition to the old forms of artistic expression such as fashion and gastronomy, new modes of expression are being considered as arts such as video, computer art, performance, advertising, animation, television andvideogames. The history of art is a multidisciplinary...

...today from Farenheit 451 is there knowledge. “ They are book-burners hailed as hereos, standing against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought” quoted by Bulgazdi, Imola. I believe that he says this because in this word there are many people who want to do things to make people unhappy for no reason. He believes that these people in this world don’t have the choice to decide on their own to know wether or not if they likes books or not. No one in this world gets to choose on their own, its post world war two people belive that books will ust bring destruction again. “ Montags conversation with Clarisse raise his awareness of the discrepancies between the past as remembered and offical histoy, and later Beatty himself reveals fabricated nature of unhappiness.” Montag has finally started to get the truth from anyone, it starts when clarisse questions montag on how he isnt like the ther firefighters. He is different, he notices the small things that the others do not. His captain and everyone else has been lying to him, well those that remeber the past are. They lead him and his fellow people that firefighters are to destroy books and to create fires instead of keeping their community safe from the fires. Montags wife has now been introduced, his wife is very robot like. Very lifeless, hair brittle and straw like, skin pale and almost see through, and only speaks about the shows that she watches on her 3 wall TV set up. “ The impression...

...Murphey discussed developments during the Tokugawa period saying, “A major result was economic and commercial growth. Such developments brought the country closer to the modern world.” (East Asia, A New History, pg. 264) Before the end of the Ming’s first century there was a growing turn to conservatism. This partially reflected the determination to reestablish the traditional Chinese way in all things after the Mongol humiliation, but it also stemmed from enhanced prosperity. An Italian missionary Matteo Ricci reported in the early seventeenth century on their conservatism saying, “Everything which the people need for their well-being and sustenance is abundantly produced within the borders of the kingdom.” (Rhodes Murphey, East Asia, A New Histoy, pg. 129) There was less incentive to seek change or be innovative at least in terms of official policy. Policy and administration was left to the conservative Confucian bureaucracy. Agriculture was regarded as the predominant source of wealth and as something to be officially promoted. The Ming government and most of its Confucian magistrates cared about the welfare of their people, at least until the final collapse and they even reformed the tax system to make it less burdensome for peasants. The Ming provincial...

...Fundamental Concepts, Methods and Modes In the Humanities Imagination, Values, and Emotions Renaissance versus Baroque February 2014 The Renaissance era has been considered a time of move into the modern day. The term Renaissance means rebirth, and came from the French. The Renaissance started in Italy and extended throughout Europe between the fourteenth and seventeenth century. It was throughout the Renaissance that Europe saw many large social, scholarly and economic changes. Old-fashioned values of the Church were lost which in turn permitted artists the freedom and liberty to discover the human mind and body. The Renaissance era allowed art to progress far past conventional and traditional religious focus to imitate human feeling and realism in art. Although faith continued to be the core guidance during the Renaissance, the beginning and acknowledgment of human form, expression and scientific study became very lively inspirations within the arts. Renaissance art saw the rebirth of nature and the human figure. Sculpting and painting practices advanced greatly throughout the Renaissance. Artists started using different methods like laws of portion, physical appearance, the linear perspective, balance, and physical appearance. Main characteristics of Renaissance art included admiration and tribute to the human body and nature, realistic linear perspective and importance on the association of light and shadow. Some of the world’s...

...Media Manipulation The word ‘media‘ started to be used in the 1920s and after the Second World War when radio, television and video became more popular and less controlled the phrase ‘mass media‘ has first been used. The dissemination of news became simple and rapid and since the world wide web came up in the 1990s, the public is flooded by information. The mass media is assigned to inform the public and to be an opinion former to the public. (Furie, 2008) But the media isn‘t always objective and the people in power noticed many years ago that „If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it.“ (Bernays, 2004) The phrase ‘media manipulation‘ is made up of the french word ‘manipuler‘ which means to handle something and of the latin plural of ‘medium‘ which describes a particular system or form of communication. Media manipulation refers to a single-sided and or deformed presentation of facts by news producers or journalists. The aim of media manipulation is to mislead the viewer or reader and to change their opinion about a particular topic, person, company or institution. Media manipulation is separated from falsification such as inventing interviewers, the subsequent manipulation of videos or photographs. (Eder, 2006) Unilateral preselection of the information is often the start of a manipulation. There is a daily information overload which make it impossible...

...Medical/Surgical Intensive Care Unit Emilee Snider Historical Trends in Nursing Critical Care Nursing Critical care nursing can be traced back to the battlefield and recovery room of the earlier decades and has evolved into the modern intensive care units today. The early 1950s through the 1990s is an era in which unpredicted and radical changes occurred in the care of all patients with the development and growth of intensive/critical care units in hospitals. The reasons for initiating these units was multi-factorial and complex; the factors included the acute shortage of civilian registered nurses (RNs) during and following World War II, innovative surgical procedures developed in caring for wounded servicemen that later carried over to civilian hospitals, vastly overcrowded hospitals, and the unacceptably high mortality rate among postoperative patients. During this time nursing care wasn’t either standardized or organized. The nursing staff consisted of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and unlicensed nurse’s aides, each doing what seemed best for that patient at that given moment. There have always been critically ill patients; critical care nursing itself is fairly new. Patient care is more complex as the technology and medicine have advanced. The first intensive care unit opened in the 1950s, allowing the patients to get the specialized care and continuous monitoring and treatment (A Community Of Exceptional Nurses, 2013). Dr. William McClenahan, in...

...Chapter I Introduction and Background of the Study Introduction One of the major problems of our country is the limited supply of electricity. And as a researcher we created a simple way on how we charge electrical energy from huma/mechanical energy or pedal power with the use of our Bicycle Charger. A Pedal Powered generator provides a method of generating electricity by means of a modified exercise bike for use in energy storage and running portable devices. Human.mechanical energy is converted by a belt-liked cloth to a bike dick brake. The energy created by the DC generator can be stored in various types of lead-acid batteries. Energy stored in battery form can act as a supplemental energy source for battery banks that may already bu used for wind, hydro and photovoltaic systems. Also, energy that is stored within the lead-acid battery can be utilizrd as DC current for use in DC appliances such as those found in automotive mobile homes. If Alternating Current (AC) appliances are in place then an inventer must be used to transfer the 12 volts of DC current into the standard 110 volts of AC current for usage by these appliances. Pedal power is the source of getting energy from humans. It can be described as the transfer of energy generated through the movement of human feet and hands in some cases. Humans used the pedal power to impel bicycles for centuries. In the primeval time all the machinery was manual and required the physocal energy to run them. This use of pedal...

...Northern Caribbean University School of Religion and Theology THE SIZE OF ISRAEL, WERE THEY NUMERICALLY SMALL OR NOT A research paper Presented in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Course RELB307 Pentateuch By Tyrone Gregory October 2006 TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION 1 TOWARD PROPER INTERPRETATION 2 HISTORY OF INTERPRETATION 2 TEXTUAL ANALYSIS 6 CONCLUSION 9 BIBLIOGRAPHY 10 INTRODUCTION TOWARD PROPER INTERPRETATION The censusses of Numbers with their results have been the source of much debate among scholars over the years. Cupeled with Dueteronomy7:7 which states Israel was indeed a small people has led scholars to formulate many theories about the size of Israel. This paper will explore and give the proper interpretations to the texts Numbers 26:51 and Dueteronomy7:7. History of interpretation The basis upon which proponents of the argument that Israel was a numerically small unit are one, they view the scripture as fables, that it was composed by people trying to validate their status. Anderson argues that there is overwhelming evidence of folklore in the story of Jacob and Joseph, and as to how Israel got into Egypt. It is not a biographical account but a story for edification.[1] Two, scholars who promote the Documentary Hypotheses also base their arguments on the belief that scriptures were composed by sources namely, J,E,D,P; and later edited...

...Strategic Analysis of Nestlé and its Competitor Kraft Foods Course: International Business Strategy (IB BA) Professor Lewis University of Applied Sciences Dresden Project Members: Katerina Schneiderova Sandra Merkel Nicole Klötzer Carolin Wiese Samuel Weimer Nicole Schröder Date: 11th June 2010 Executive Summary In the following, two companies and their strategic positions within the coffee consumer goods industry will be described. The focus lies on Nestlé and its competitor Kraft Foods. As coffee is one of the most popular products worldwide, this is a very demanding business. It is necessary to provide high quality products, especially when working in the more affluent segments like Nestlé and Kraft Food do. Several political, economic, social, technical, environmental and legal aspects have an impact on the industry branch they are operating in. In addition, there is not only a differentiation in Robusta and Arabica coffee, but also in filter coffee, portioned and non-portioned soluble coffee. To satisfy the diverging needs of all customers, different strategies are applied to gain more market share. In this report it is examined how those companies operate in the specific business context, what they have in common and where they differ. Furthermore, an analysis of the industry attractiveness, of the market segmentation and value chain and an overview of resources and capabilities are part of this paper. After intense research...
