...There is no architecture without action, events, and programs (Tschumi 1994;121). Tschumi suggests that “any relationship between a building and its users is one of violence, for any use means intrusion of the human body into a given space, the intrusion of one order into another" (122). This essay will aim to explore the "complex juxtaposition of abstract concepts and immediate experiences" of the violence of architecture, through a walking tour of Barangaroo Reserve. [need a sentence here] Tschumi defines the 'violence' of architecture as a metaphor for the intensity of relationship between individuals and spaces (122). That is to say, the intrusion of the human body into architectural space, and the affect of architectural space on the human...

...can help do what everyone I know considers really important and desperately wants….. namely: IMPROVED HEALTH AND HAPPINESS!!!! Neat, well-organized home and work spaces really do improve your health and happiness. And here’s how: Stress Reduction Spaces free of visual clutter & congestion free the mind of clutter and congestion. The mind is free to rest, be at peace or focus on fun, interesting hobbies and projects!! Increased control and order in one’s life/environment tends to lessen one’s stress; it sets you free……of stress!! Living and working in home/work environments that are.. “You”.. Living and working in spaces that reflect who you are & what’s important to you are huge factors in promoting good health and happiness! IMPROVED HEALTH AND HAPPINESS (CONT.)!!!! Increased time to do other, preferred things Having more time to do things one wants to do is important to foster better health and happiness. For example, having time for fitness or recreational activities; reading books; taking a class to learn a new skill; taking the time to eat better; or just doing nothing at all can engender a lot of good health and happiness! Well organized spaces & an effective system to maintain and keep them that way will improve personal efficiency. It’s logical to expect that this too will help increase your time to do the things that...

...Glennt Butt the Vice-president of Canadian Tire has to make a decision in a short period of time. He has one month left to decide which check out configuration to implement in the next generation of stores. This is a very important election, since the future profits and clients depend on the lay-out and on their experience in Canadian Tire stores. From my point of view I would choose to implement the single line lay out. After calculating some data, the second option appears to be as the most profitable and effective check –out configuration: * Maintaining the tandem check –out configuration: It requires a total investment of $65.400 using a total space of 150m2 which represents a 3% of the store. This kind of configuration may cause some problems when there is a pick of costumers. As they can only stand in one line, if the queue takes more time as usual the client must feel anxious and disappointed with its experience in our stores. Furthermore, when the business is slow a lot of space would be wasted. * Single Line Implementing the single line configuration implies an investment of $57.000 occupying a total space of 125 m2. In comparison with the tandem configuration we gain 25 m2 more, which means $70.000 of profit per year. The line would be much faster, as the cashier would be working in a more effective way. Moreover the costumer would have a better buying experience as they could go to the fastest register and would not have to suffer from unexpected waits. Canadian...

...Mirror Realism Matt Leonard Let’s suppose that spacetime substantivalism is true. In other words, space- time regions exist independently of the objects that occupy them. They shouldn’t be thought of as mere ‘things’ or ‘events’ which happen to stand in spatiotemporal relations.1 Even with such an assumption, there is a lot to disagree about. And so, for the moment, let’s make a few more assumptions: let’s suppose that (1) material objects exist independently of spacetime re- gions (i.e., material objects are not identical to spacetime regions) and (2) material objects are exactly located at certain spacetime regions. Given this setup, it seems right to say that material objects and spacetime regions pos- sess mereological and topological properties, and enter into mereological and topological relations. Now consider the following question about the relation- ship between spacetime and material objects: are material objects a perfect mirror of their spacetime regions? We might ask: if two objects share some mereotopological relation (for instance, if one is a part of the other, or if one is connected to the other), does it follow that the regions of space at which the objects are located, share the same relation? Similarly, if two regions of space are related in some mereotopological way, are the objects located at those regions, related in the same way? If an object x is a proper part of some other object y, does it follow that the location, lx, of the former object is a proper...

...Private experience with learning at university including time and space management. How did the time management theory help me with learning. Time and space management are very important matters to almost all people, who like to have their life organized. They are crucial while studying, doing projects or another types of work where the time given is strictly limited. When it comes to my private experience considering learning at the university, it is positive. First of all, and the most important for me, there are no gaps in the schedule, so I do not waste my time while waiting for classes. Second, if a gap somehow occurs, there is a great library, where many interesting books can be found, moreover, there are separate rooms for individual or group work there. On the university we can find many places, where we can chat and also discuss with friends our class projects. One of the most important matters for students are professors’ office hours, moreover it is great to know that they are always willing to help. Theories about time management presented in class made me more aware of how to plan my time efficiently. I realized how much time, just slipped through my fingers. I decided to buy a large calendar and hang it in a visible place in the apartment. I started planning all things at least a week ahead and writing them down on the calendar first, and it worked great. Now, I never check my email in the morning, as a matter of fact, I try not to check it before...

...a Shangri-La. The story of Shangri-La itself is a modern one, told by the English novelist James Hilton in his novel Lost Horizon(1933). To start my paper we should use page 380 from the book retail stores as brands: performance, theatre and space spatial settings and the aesthetic structuring of a range of expressive artefacts are increasingly pervasive components of the construction and communication of brands AS per the consumer culture theory, service scape studies generally include environmental dimensions such as ambient conditions (noise, music and aromas) and space (design, layout and furnishing) as well as signs and symbols (style and personal artefacts) . If brands represent symphonies of meaning, managers must be viewed as orchestrators and conductors as well as composers, whose role is not only to coordinate and synchronise but also to create space and spatial arrangement(s) in retail shops as used to construct and to communicate a brand theatrical experience: This perspective allows us to understand how a theatre removes consumers from everyday life and isolates them in a constructed environment in order to create a unique and aesthetic experience to be used for first page for work introduction: In this way, initial observations have been made concerning location, atmosphere, in-store design, retail space, clothing, uniforms and customers. . Furthermore, desk research was carried out to understand the history, development and vision of the fashion house...

...believe the special physical environment they’ve created positively influences their level of collaboration, teamwork, even efforts. The space they’ve created can unlock value out of their people that another space could not. The space is unlike what an employee might have known before – and as a result, that employee is freer to act in ways they haven’t acted before. At Qualtrics, there are common spaces where ‘coincidental’ interaction happens by design. Each floor has a kitchen with a bar. This is one of the many purposeful ‘watering holes’ where daily interaction among Qualtrics employees is designed to take place. Designed “happy accidents” where people from one part of the company will be interacting with those from another. Another way the Qualtrics space encourages collaboration is the absence of physical BARRIERS keeping people apart. There are few walls, and those few necessary walls are made of glass. A strong sense of community and mission is fostered when Qualtrics employees know each other, and are aware of all the hard work going on around them. The excitement and energy of the company isn’t absorbed into a bunch of sheetrock, it’s floating around the wide spaces. Direct and indirect collaboration/influence is encouraged by the shared physical spaces. The amount of positive interaction fostered by the physical spaces can all be considered collaboration. Camaraderie and a sense of mission develop as a natural consequence. Efforts increase as one...

...society today, but with cyberspace, it has made communication easier for everyone; Unlike before where messages are sent via snail mail and telegrams when our family or friends leaves home, those letters eventually get lost in time specially if we don’t take good care of them. With cyberspace however, it is never impossible for us to reach them (our love ones) and continue to build relationships even when they’re across the continent. I started using social media in 2010 when one of my closest friends moved to Canada. As I wasn’t familiar in using other social media that time such as friendster or myspace , we used yahoo mail instead as our main tool of communication since yahoo messenger wasn’t applicable to us since we don’t own our own computers back then to personally download the application. As time flies, Facebook came into the picture in list of social medias and because of the distance that bounded us, cyberspace in the form of social media became our reality — interacting with my friend wasn’t only limited to using emails for messages, connecting ourselves through liking and commenting on photos and also posting and sharing status on each other’s walls made our friendship stronger, specially with the user friendly interface that Facebook offers, looking through photos and videos is more visual compare to only seeing words using email (Note: because attaching photos using email is limited to a limited file size). The transition between using email to Facebook...

I have to brother’s one big brother on twenty years, and a little brother on fifteen years old, they are also born in Herning. I am happy to live in Denmark, because it is safety to live here, than my home country. I started when I was seven years in public school on Humlehøj-school until 16 years in 9th class. At the 9 years I have grown lots of sports, football, volleyball, badminton board tennis and swimming I like to grown sports, my first job was until I was 17 years on a restaurant called Ox-en Steak House in Sønderborg. I still working and same time studying in 10th class. Studying in 10th class it’s very nice and helpful and easier to take forward to next step for what I will do. In 10th class we meet new friends and learn to be a social person with many peoples, and we also learn how it will be on collage. In my space time I grown sport.

...How does it work? Can it be transcended? Time in many ways is like space. In physics, time and space are woven together, like a fabric upon which all matter lies. At the limits, near the speed of light, movement in time is yoked to movement in space. As spatial speed increases, temporal speed slows. Recent quantum physics, in the area of non-local phenomena, suggests that both time and space are not as they appear on our scale of existence. It appears that particles, separated in both space and time, interact, in a simultaneous manner. Indeed, in one of the strangest experimental effects, the future may causally impact the past (the implications of that one will make your head spin). Distant particles are somehow connected, are somehow not distant. It is as if the space and time between did not really exist, nor the proposed distinction. Rather, these physicists (cf. Yakir Aharonov, Jeff Tollakson, and Menas Kafatos) suggest that perhaps there is an underlying singularity or unity to matter, across both time and space. Many spiritual traditions, philosophies, songs, and so on have suggested similar ideas: "We are one, heartache to heartache....love is a battlefield" Pat Benatar. Beyond funny ‘80's rocker references, such notions are at the heart of spiritual practices, across the various world traditions, even mainstream Christianity which proposes that God exists outside the bounds of time. This is why my Christian friends have already been forgiven for sins not yet committed...

...INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP LEADER’S TOPIC INFORMATION INTRODUCTION TO FORCES & MOTION An understanding of force and motion is fundamental to the study of almost all other physics-related topics. Yet it is a topic often overlooked or only cursorily introduced in elementary and middle school science, even though it is a topic typically identified for inclusion in the curriculum for these grades. A primary reason for this is that many teachers do not feel comfortable about their own understanding of the topic. Consequently, this may be the most needed of all of the OPERATION PHYSICS workshops. This workshop leader’s notebook is divided into two parts: PART ONE Motion Part One begins by introducing participants to the concepts of space and time. These concepts are then used in describing simple types of motion. These motions are then classified as accelerated and not accelerated (constant velocity). Emphasis is placed on distinguishing between speed and velocity, between average and instantaneous values and on accelerated motion. This section should not be skipped, for it develops ideas necessary to the understanding of other ideas...

...My first reaction viewing Sara’s portable planetarium was a mess of objects which didn’t quite make sense in their placement, but after a few seconds you can see how Sara placed each object strategically to capture the viewers attention and how each object has meaning. The installation art piece is most definitely a full round sculpture with a combination of linear elements. The planetarium doesn’t seem to have a beginning or end, there’s no focal point. It’s three-dimensional nature seems to give it an air of a “huge jumble” and it gives you the impression of “I don’t know where to look first”. The linear elements are the mobiles at the end, which seem to hang from wires and strings. The planetarium was made using the method of construction. Sara used all kinds of materials to create her work of art such as lamps, ladders, pebbles, plastic bottles, buckets, papers, and even a projector. There is a contrast of both negative space and closed space, the open spaces seems to continually bring you back to the closed space. Even though the sculpture seems “crazy” there sees to be an element of proportion. The linear objects share a relationship with the spherical objects. But there are also components of dissonance since the sculpture seems to be moving. The name of Portable Planetarium is a complete contradiction since it seems like all the objects are stable in their positions, and looks like they cannot be moved without the whole thing coming down. I believe the artist’s...

...Information technology affects almost every aspect of the business world in today’s modern society. Within a matter of decades both internal and external processes have been transformed. For example, managers no longer handwrite reports for their office staff to type or use mail to correspond with clients or post flyers to communicate with employees. My department at Princeton University has experienced these types’of scenarios over the past five years. Five years ago, our procedures and computers systems were antiquated. The need for technology was essential to provide better communication and improve procedures, especially in a department that has over 200 employees who work in different locations throughout the University such as dorms, academic buildings, and athletic facilities. For instance, my department’s time-off request procedure and the process by which supervisors receive their daily work orders were lengthy, required several steps, and needed to be modernized. Realizing how outdated these procedures were, my department sought out several different types of technology to help improve its overall functionality. Technology acquired included, Sharepoint, Ipads, and EZ Maxmobile App. In just a short period of time, these products have significantly improved communication and procedures throughout the department and enhanced our customer service to our clients. The use of Sharepoint, a web-based intranet that streamlines the management of and access to data,...

...monsters, who are the species extinct for almost 65 million years. How do these people come to know how did these creatures look like, what were their food habits, how did they live and how did they evolve? A question came to my mind, ‘CAN PAST TALK TO US?’ . 2. A few years later another movie was released, ‘The Mummy’. This time it was the Egyptian culture that was depicted. Incidentally this culture has also been extinct for thousands of years. It is believed that this culture was in existence some 4500 years ago. Where did the knowledge of the life style of the ancient Egyptians, their religious practices, their culture, their language and their houses, clothes and weapons come from? Could the past possibly have talked to the producers? 3. I am sure these questions must have surfaced in your minds also. If I was to answer these questions, I would say, yes, the past can talk to us. But only through an interpreter. This interpreter is called an ‘ARCHAEOLOGIST’. 4. Good morning lady and gentlemen, today I shall talk briefly on the subject ‘Archaeology’. Although the subject of digging into the past of the planet earth has extremely wide scope, I shall restrict myself to the history of man, only. AIM 5.
