Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. Home automation for the elderly and disabled can provide increased quality of life for persons who might otherwise require caregivers or institutional care.

...2015 Purpose Moore House Contractors have a strict deadline to meet in order to complete their previous arrangement with the real estate company, Countryside Realtors. Starting in late winter or early spring when the weather becomes moderate, Moore House is considering agreeing to complete a new home every 45 days building a total of 6 homes. Countryside has also decided to include a strict penalty if the contractors fail to deliver a home within the 45 day time period. Moore House has completed a time line of events in which they hope all homes will be completed. The contractors need to be confident they can complete the job within the allotted amount of time otherwise they are going to raise the bid on the building of the 6 houses in order to cover potential penalties. As of now, the penalty holds no exception to bad weather or unexpected delays. Moore House Contractors must now determine the scenario which will bring about the greatest length of time, if they should increase their bid to cover penalties, and determine which areas of the project may require more time and resources. Background Construction groups must have clear deadlines with precise scheduling in order to complete projects in a timely fashion according to the agreed contract. While delays are to be expected and can hinder the progress of any project, in order to keep the client happy, a construction group must take these delays into consideration of the original contract.

...In The Boarding House by James Joyce we have the theme of powerlessness, social opinion, paralysis and marriage. Taken from his Dubliners collection the story is narrated in the third person by and unnamed narrator and what is interesting about the story is that the reader is given the point of view of two of the main characters in the story, Mrs Mooney and Bob Doran. Some readers will also notice that Joyce, as he does in a lot of the stories in Dubliners, is using colours (brown and yellow) to symbolise decay and paralysis. Instances of this within the story include Joyce describing what some of the lodgers in Mrs Money’s boarding house have eaten for breakfast. Joyce tells the reader that ‘the table of the breakfast-room was covered with plates on which lay yellow streaks of eggs and morsels of bacon-fat and bacon rind.’ This description is significant as Joyce is symbolizing, through colour the state of paralysis that exists within Mrs Mooney’s boarding house, particularly for Bob Doran. Another instance of Joyce using colour (yellow) to highlight a state of paralysis is the gilt clock that Mrs Mooney looks at when she is waiting for Bob to come and talk to her. The idea or theme of powerlessness is also explored in the story while Bob is in his room thinking about what he has to do. He feels trapped, concerned about what his friends and employers will think about his relationship with Polly and by what the priest has told him he must do. The role of the priest in the story...

...the magnificent house that once stood on 6th & Market Street known as the President's House. This massive three story brick building was the pride of the Masters family. The house was built in 1767 by Mary Lawrence Masters a widow, mother of two, and one of the wealthiest people in the colony at the time. I dont know about you but back then being a widow, mother of two and a women closed a lot of doors for people back then. Its amazing how much Mary was able to accomplish with all she had to go through. She was even able to have her children grow up to be successful young citizens of the colony.

...built an apartment which is has the same function as a house, that is a place to live in. Unlike a house, an apartment usually located at the center of city which is give an extra benefit for business utility. “Your apartment is your home, and you should be able to enjoy it to the fullest” (Ron Leshnower, 2010). Nonetheless, some people think that living in house would give the maximum comfortibility. There are 2 similarities between a house and an apartment. First of all, both of them would make you spend the same living cost. When you decide to live with luxurious life style, wherever you live, you would stay to live with that kind of habit. Second of all, whether it is a house or an apartment, it has a big role as a place to live in. In the other hand, there are 3 differences between living in a house and apartment. Firstly, living in a house would spend more money rather than an apartment. If you think that someday you would buy a house, first thing that you need to purchase is a land. A land is primary requirement to build a house. Thus, it should be really expensive especially if it is close by the city. And next, you need to buy the raw materials and hire someone to build a house. However, if you decide to buy an apartment, all you need to do is be ready for the money. “It is cheaper then living in a traditional house and paying different kinds of fees I am not familiar with.” (IELTS Essay Task 2: Apartment Or House, paragraph 2, http://www.goodatesl.com/ielts/writing...

...Dirty Dish Fiasco There are many challenges while living in a fraternity house. With eight guys having their own schedules and personal habits clashing, there are many communication issues that take place. There are not only just communication issues with those of us living in the chapter house, but with other fraternity brothers that visit as well. In our house, we have to share two bathrooms, a living area, a laundry station and a kitchen. I will focus on talking about the major source of our communication fiasco; the kitchen. We have a medium double sink and a dish drainer with limited counter space. The worst thing is that we have to manually clean our dishes every time since we don’t have a dish washer to do the job for us. In general, when people are busy, they tend to put priorities like cleaning and washing dishes near the bottom. Most of us spend a lot of time cooking and utilizing resources in the kitchen. This means a lot of used dishes that accumulate very fast. There are two issues that arise from this: 1) People don’t always clean their dishes after using them right away and 2) The dish drainer is always full and unavailable for other dishes to wash their used dishes. The problem with the second point is that people get lazy The beginning of the problem is when the dish drainer gets full. This usually keeps us from doing their dishes and end up putting dirty dishes in the sink or on the counter next to the sink. We will ignore the fact that the dish drainer is...

...A DOLL HOUSE A Doll's House is a three act play about a seemingly typical housewife who becomes disillusioned and dissatisfied with her condescending husband. Nora represents the 'doll' in this 'perfect doll house' with decorated Christmas trees and fancy parties. The realization that her life is a sham, she spends her whole life in a dream world. In this dream world, Nora does not take life seriously, an attitude that led to many of the plot’s complications. Nora and Torvald Helmer believe they are happily married and on the brink of a blissful new phase of life. Nora's lie is exposed and Torvald first blames, then forgives her and is finally abandoned as Nora recognizes the truth of her situation. She accuses her husband, and her father before him, of having used her as a doll, and declares herself unfit to be a wife or mother until she has learned to be herself. Nora's position in her own household, as well as Nora's perception of the world. Not only have the men in her life treated her like a "doll", to be dressed up and played with, but she herself has lived as that doll. She has played into the role, and she has always viewed the world from only the perspective of her little house. She is treated like a child and is not taken seriously. She is belittled by Torvald and doesn't listen to her feelings, wants, and desires. In Nora world she takes a back seat approach to life and becomes like an object, reacting to other’s expectations rather than advancing herself....

...Whilst it’s only possible to speculate, Kerstin Thompson’s Drum House seems to follow a very similar brief to that to the Bergren House by Mayne and Rotundi. The Bergen house was designed for a single mother who also worked as a full time scholar in a tertiary institution. The house needed to be entirely functional; there was no need for frivolous detail or aesthetic storage solutions. Practicality was king. Mayne and Rotundi focused on a circulation plan that would be as efficient as possible whilst being a healthy building to inhabit, as detailed in their quote: “It allowed us to explore sequential movement in a way that we hadn’t before. It was very processional, it allowed us to deal with the relationship between a visual axis and an...

...“Houses: The Visual Reflection of the Family” During our previous discussion in class, we understood how much influence and control cultures have over the form and spacing of different structures. In fact, in his book “Socio-cultural Factors and House Form”, Amos Rapoport even stated that, “…house form is not simply the result of physical forces or any single causal factor, but is the consequence of a whole range of socio-cultural factors seen in their broadest terms…”, and he adds, “I will call the socio-cultural forces primary and others (climate) secondary or modifying.” This means that when it comes to convenience versus beliefs or traditions, the latter would almost always be chosen over the former. When it comes to culture, the most primary and influential of these practices are those that are experienced everyday, at our own home. It is the culture practiced within the family, called the family culture. A family’s culture may be almost identical to those of society’s, but a family still make themselves unique from the all the rest by having their own set of values, traditions, practices, and of course means of enjoying life. And because of this, families tend to need their own shelters or homes; somewhere they could keep their culture intact and live life the way they want to. Houses are the visual reflection of the family. A family’s home is something that is directly being used by all the members of the family in it everyday; this means that the house may...

...Literary Essay: A Doll’s House Rachael Shannon 2015-07-24 Ms. Behiel ENG3U Life for a housewife in the 1800s was very different from what it is in the 21st century, but what remains true is the difficulty in having a good marriage. The play, A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen, represents the struggles one might have went through, but he really challenged the typical marriage back then. In the play, Nora is a loving mother of three and a caring wife who has been misunderstood and mistreated. Nora’s decision at the end of the play to leave Torvald Helmer is justifiable because, he makes her perform by singing and dancing, he treats her like a doll and he dictates her whole life. Firstly, Torvald treats Nora as his own doll and makes her sing and dance for his pleasure. For example, before she must dance the Tarantella for the party and has to practice for Torvald, “Now, you must go and play through the Tarantella and practise with your tambourine.” (II, 41) Torvald makes Nora practice for the dance, he even commands her. This is a misuse of his power over her and he treats her like a subordinate. In addition Nora is able to bargain with her husband by offering her services, “I would play the fairy and dance for you in the moonlight, Torvald.” (II, 38) He has used her for his own entertainment as if she was a servant to him and not his wife. In conclusion, Nora had to leave Torvald and the children because her husband was mistreating her as a performer. Secondly, he treats...
