...Otto Dix He was the great German Expressionist, was famous for his unique and grotesque style. Dix always balanced his inclination toward realism with an equal tendency toward the fantastic and the allegorical. Having experimented with Expressionism, Futurism and even Dada, Dix finally opted for a realist language that allowed him to present a critical view of the society that surrounded him and which led him to become one of the leading representatives of New Objectivity. His profound knowledge and admiration for the Old Masters, particularly the German Renaissance painters, led him to base his new style on a technique that revived their working methods. This included the use of panel rather than canvas as a support and a mixed technique of tempera and oil; his painstaking preparation of the support; his way of using the pigments and glazes, and even his signature in the form of a monogram in the manner of Lucas Cranach. These technical resources also provided him with a way to emphasize form over color and to convey the critical objectivity that he desired, accentuating the realism of his style and endowing it with the critical, ironic and mordant tone that is so typical of his work. Dix’s revival of old techniques and styles, combined with this “return to order” on the part of a realist artist in opposition to the language of the contemporary avant-garde movements, was accompanied in his by an interest in rediscovering signs of national identity, establishing...

Otto Von Bismarck was conservative Prussian statesman, and was later the Prime Minister of Prussia, appointed by King Wilhelm I. He dominated German and European affairs from the 1860s until 1890. Early on in his political career, promised to promulgate a constitution, agreed that Prussia and other German states should merge into a single nation-state in 1848. In 1849, he opposed the unification of Germany, arguing that Prussia would lose its independence in the process. He grew up representing the land-owning nobility. His mother also had close connections to the Prussian court. He opposed his mother’s beliefs and ambitions. 2) Where/when is your leader from? What major historical events connect with his/her life?

...The main idea of this speech is that Otto von Bismarck wanted Germany to actually make a difference for their country by taking action. He wanted to enforce power, military, something that Prussia had not done. Here he was responding to the Landtags of Prussia and how they refused military support. He says that, “not through speeches and majority decisions,” the problems and conflicts of this German state will no longer be solved by just talking and waiting for public and the parliament's approval. The government always took too long to come into an agreement yet, their governing was not successful. Basically, the main idea was that an army was needed fast to help gain more control no matter if his solution becomes violent and bloody; war. Bismarck want to make sure that he was taking over so Germany, in the future, would not have to deal with another revolution. He wanted to make things right, right in that moment....

...Otto Advertising has recently signed on Angela’s Secret Lingerie, a new client that represents a very large account for the company. Although we feel very confident in our abilities to market and influence consumers into buying their lingerie, this client places our company in a difficult situation. They are requesting we direct our advertising towards girls aged 8-10 years old which raises grave ethical concerns. Marketing can lead to ethical dilemmas due to the content and methodology used to pursue market growth and revenue. Many techniques that we ourselves have utilized have included heavily targeting the youth because of their susceptibility to marketing tactics. Targeting children is treading in dangerous waters and can have negative repercussions on all parties involved. Ethical theories represent important guidelines for better, more sustainable decision making. I have provided an analysis through the Utilitarian, Kantian and Virtue Ethics perspectives in order for Otto Advertising to make a sound decision for all parties affected. Utilitarian ethics is associated with Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill and represents the utilitarian principle to provide the greatest good for the greatest number of people. This is to be followed by looking at the consequences of an action not the means employed to deem if it is morally right or not (ET 85-88). Marketing is essentially based on the utilitarian principle because our whole purpose as a business is to try and satisfy...

...Otto 1, Emperor: Grant of a Market at Bremen, 965 Otto 1 the Great was considered to be a ruler very similar to Charlemagne. He followed Charlemagne’s legacy of becoming a Roman emperor, he was crowned emperor by the Pope. He remained in control by appointing family members to duchies which brought their subjects under his authority. Otto forced the dukes to recognize his lordship and dominance over them. The places that he could not bring under his control, he conquered. Otto I made important reforms which resulted in the bringing together of the state and church. Following these reforms, Otto I brought a more centralized power to himself and strengthened his own right to rule. For Adaldagus to establish a market in Bremen, it was very important to have the approval and support of Otto the Great. Successful approval by Otto Emperor Augustus came with several benefits. Otto would benefit by being in charge of the local operations and administering the commerce activities in that area. He would have local authority, rights and protection for himself and the local merchants in the name of Otto Emperor Augustus over the marketplace. This would also have included collecting fees and in general making him the locally appointed boss over the marketplace. Otto Emperor Augustus would also benefit by having an appointed leader in place in the market of Bremen to carry out his orders. Additionally, this petition request and approval was accepted as the "religious right thing to do"...

...In this article, compiled by R.F. Huang, H.S. Yang, and C. N. Yeh, the experiment involved the in-cylinder flow structures and turbulence intensities in the symmetry and offset planes of a motored four-valve, four-stroke engine during the intake and compression strokes.3 This is carried out by using a particle image velocimeter. The in-cylinder flow is a decisive factor for combustion in the engine, which in turn provides significant effects on the engine performance. Generating a significant vertical flow motion (swirl-like motion) inside the engine cylinder during the intake process is one of the more promising ways to achieve fast burning rate. This is because a well defined single vortical structure is more stable than other large scale in-cylinder flows and, therefore, may break up later in the cycle giving higher turbulence during combustion.3 This experiment studied two pistons of different crown shapes (flat-crown and slightly concave-crown pistons), as shown in Figure 2. The origin, establishment, and evolution of the tumbling vortical flow structures during the intake and compression strokes are clearly depicted.3 Quantitative strengths of the rotating vortical flow motions are presented by a dimensionless parameter, the tumble ratio, which can represent the mean angular velocity of the vortices in the target plane. The turbulence intensity of the in-cylinder flow was calculated by using the measured time-varying velocity data.3 The results show that the flat-crown...

...Otto Hahn was born in 1879 and grew up in Frankfurt am Main, Prussia, where he was the son of a prosperous entrepreneur. Although his father, who was a prosperous glazier, wanted him to be an architect he had an interest in chemistry, which led to him to t the age of 15 to start performing chemistry experiments. In 1897 he took his abitur and went to the university of Marburg to start studying chemistry and mineralogy. He received his doctorate in 1901 and then began his year of compulsory military service, after which he returned to the university of Marburg and worked as a doctoral supervisor for two years. The trajectory of Otto Hahn’s career shows the value of planning and preparation, but also how plans often...

...publish this amazing book, Anne’s wishes to become in author, and the big role of her father, Otto Frank, and Miep Gies to help to this book had been published. Otto Frank began to consider of having the diary published moved by Anne´s repeated wish to be an author. Miep Gies gave Otto Frank the diary and a bundle of loose notes that she had saved in the hope of returning of Anne. But, in July, 1945, the Red Cross confirmed the death of the Anne Frank. Otto Frank later commented that he had not realized Anne had kept such an accurate and well-written record of their time in hiding. He described the painful process of reading the diary, recognizing the events described and recalling that he had already heard some of the more funny episodes read aloud by his daughter. He saw for the first time the more private side of his daughter, and those sections of the diary she had not discussed with anyone. Otto Frank told to a group of Jewish friends about the diary, and one of them was really touched about it. He asked to Otto if he could lend the diary to the historian Jan Romein to read, a good friend of his. Otto Frank hesitated, but was finally persuaded. Jan Romein was also much impressed by the diary, and he wrote an article about it for the daily newspaper Het Parool. He also asked to Otto Frank to consider having the diary published. His article attracted attention from publishers, and Otto Frank agreed the diary was published in the Netherlands after as Het Achterhuis in 1947, followed...

...meant for one of these victims. For my book report, I chose to focus on a life of a young girl named Anne Frank. Anne was a German Jewish girl whose family fled the Nazi Persecution of Jews in Germany in the 1930's, settling in what they hoped was the safety of Amsterdam, Holland. When the Nazis invaded Holland in 1940, the terror returned and the Franks went into hiding in a Secret Annex, hidden rooms at the back of Otto Frank's (father) business premises in Amsterdam. Most books about famous people only tell the reader about what the person was like as a child, to help explain what they were like as a grown up. But Anne’s diary is all about her childhood because she never had a chance to grow up. Very few people become famous as children, but Anne Frank eventually became one of those few. To understand why Anne Frank became famous we must know a little something about her family background. The Frank family settled in the German city of Frankfurt during the seventeenth century. They prospered as the city expanded and grew rich by trade. Otto Frank, Anne Frank's father was born in 1889....
