...Milan Shah ARTH2394 Locheed February 17th 2014 Formal Analysis on The Great Oaks of Old Bas-Breau by Théodore Rousseau In 1824 John Constable exhibited some works of rural landscape paintings that inspired many young artists to forgo the formalities of art and draw directly from the source of nature rather than a dramatic event in history. The Barbizon School came about in existence due to artists’ rejecting the Royal Academy’s standards for art and tradition in an attempt to portray a truer reality of life with nature. Many of the artists came to the forests of Fontainebleau with loose brushstrokes, tonal qualities and softness of the subjects; they all had the same motif of creating works reflecting rural scenery. Rousseau was the most prominent member of the school and was an activist to protect the forest from deforestation. The Great Oaks of Old Bas-Breau was painted in 1864 on canvas with oil in Barbizon. The painting is exactly what the title says: great oak trees from the forest of Fontainebleau. With the bottom looking like an open field and the background of the oak trees, you will also notice a small figure in the lower right who seems to be a man with a walking stick on a trek through the forest. At the center of the painting there are three main oak trees that draw our attention. These are probably the oldest and most grandiose of the oak trees in the forest. These three are the only visible trees that don’t have gnarled and twisted branches. The walking...

...My analysis paper is based on mise-en-scene in Rashomon. The mise-en-scene, which means putting on the stage and it covers the setting, props, costumes, performance, lighting, and color. The way these elements are modified and are arranged within the film to appear on screen is the composition (Abrams et.al 96). In the scene of the fight between the samurai and the bandit, the setting and the light are indispensable; the shadow of the forest is used to contrast with the light that come from the sun and when the bandit is ready to finish off the samurai, the light is reflected in his face and immediately this light is contrasted with shadow that comes among the branches where rest the dead body of the samurai. I consider the setting, the use...

...affected by smoke haze caused by land and forest fires. The Philippines and Thailand were affected to a lesser degree. The severity and extent of the smoke haze pollution was unprecedented, affecting millions of people across the region. 2. The economic loss suffered by countries during this environmental disaster was enormous and has yet to be fully determined. Several economic sectors, including air, water and land transport, shipping, construction, tourism, forestry and agriculture, have been severely affected. The haze pollution has also resulted in considerable health impact on the people of the countries affected and the long-term health effects have yet to be determined. 3. ASEAN Environment Ministers had in June 1995 agreed on an ASEAN Co-operation Plan on Transboundary Pollution. The Co-operation Plan contains broad policies and strategies to deal with transboundary pollution. In light of the latest haze experience, the ASEAN Environment Ministers have agreed on this Regional Haze Action Plan, which sets out co- operative measures needed amongst ASEAN member countries to address the problem of smoke haze in the region arising from land and forest fires. Objectives 4. The primary objectives of this Plan are : a. to prevent land and forest fires through better management policies and enforcement; b. to establish operational mechanisms to monitor land and forest fires; and c. to strengthen regional land and forest fire-fighting capability and other mitigating...

...Any class that takes place online as opposed to a class being conducted on campus grounds would introduce less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from lack of transportation due to students not having to make the drive to and from class meetings. The use of facilities such as bathrooms or any energy used such as power for the classroom and air conditioning for the building may also contribute to our carbon footprint and use of water facilities. http://myfootprint.org/en/your_results/?id=2788767 After taking the footprint quiz and reviewing my results it became apparent how every person on the planet could not live the average life style of people in our country. I say this because most of my results are very close to the national average and my score states 6 earths would be required for everyone in the world to live similar life styles. Only one of my footprints is higher than the national average which is the food footprint and my carbon footprint is a close tie with our average. With my high protein Paleolithic diet my food consumption footprint was relatively high. I have many snacks and full sized meals throughout the day as long as there are groceries in the house. This is in order to teach my body not to store fat and is part of my cross fitness nutrition plan that I have worked out with my trainer. The way I understand it, our bodies’ anatomy has only changed a fraction of a percent sense the days of the cavemen when the average man was more athletic than our modern...

...Global Trade of Wood and Paper Products Abstract Global trade of wood products is accelerating amid shifting regional production of raw materials. At the same time structural change is occurring in regional production and consumption of finished and semi-finished wood and paper products. Some countries which once were major net exporters of wood products, such as the United States, have become major net importers. Conversely, China, a country that not long ago was a major net importer of wood products, is increasingly dominant as an exporter of value-added wood products such as furniture. What are the reasons behind these shifts in sources of supply and demand for wood and wood products? Direct forces such as population growth and rising socio-economic levels drive demand for wood and paper products. Increasing purchasing power in developing economies empowers consumers, both private and public, to purchase homes, furnishings and accessories. Indirect factors, such promotion of wood, strengthen demand and translate to significant gains in consumption in some markets. Consciousness of climate change and the advantages of wood for products and energy is creating a new impetus for increasing wood products consumption, including wood-derived energy products. Government and industry policies are important market drivers. Government policies can support increased utilization of wood, or can restrict wood in construction when standards favor competitive building materials...

...PRICING STRATEGY AND PROFITABILITY OF HONEY MARKETING ORGANISATIONS IN THE NORTH WEST PROVINCE OF CAMEROON D. Malaa1* ; G. A. Muluh2 ; F. Kamajou2 1* Institute of Agricultural Research for Development (IRAD), Dschang BP 44 Dschang, West Province, Cameroon Tel 237 777 00 69 email: dorothymalaa@yahoo.co.uk 2 Faculty of Economics and Management University of Dschang Cameroon ABSTRACT This study assessed the efficiency of three honey marketing organisations, which emerged at the advent of market liberalisation, in the Bamenda Central, Belo and Elak- Oku Sub-Divisions in the North West Province of Cameroon. This research addresses the question: are honey marketing organisations efficient in their pricing. Two types of honey (white honey and brown fluid honey) are marketed, and the marketing organisations are judged organised and efficient given the marketing functions have been liberalised with little or no state intervention in the honey sub-sector. Honey marketing organisations are profitable with the return of profit margins to total cost equal to or greater than the minimum interest rate of 18%. Whilst it is recommended that actors or stakeholders in this sector should organise workshops/training sessions in processing and marketing to empower themselves, further studies should be focused on the cost of processing techniques. Key Words: Honey, Marketing organisations, Pricing strategy, Profitability, Profit margins...

...Introduction In the television sitcom ‘That 70’s Show’ it is depicted how an appliance store ‘Bargain Bob’ is driven to bankruptcy by the arrival of a large superstore called ‘Price Mart’ in the city of Wisconsin. This superstore provided appliances at a much lower cost than what the small retailers could afford. As a result the small stores had to shut down. While on one hand Price Mart took away some jobs it created many more to compensate for the unemployment created by the closure of a manufacturing plant in the same town. This illustrates a common outcome of the arrival of giant retail companies in otherwise unexplored geographies. This is also touted as the reason why many governments were initially and many still are opposed to the idea of allowing large retail companies to set up shop especially if they are from abroad. One of such large retailer is IKEA which has of late managed to enter the Asian market. IKEA is known all over the world as a low cost high quality provider of ready to assemble furniture. This is about what the company does and not what it stands for. IKEA is a symbol of excellence that serves as an inspiration for entrepreneurs and business houses alike. There are no two views about the successful business model adopted by IKEA which also has a strong value system. There are fewer controversies and lot more accolades for IKEA as compared to other large retail giants. What is more fascinating however is the fact that in spite of being a large and powerful...

...Narration Around 2 a.m. something woke Charles Hanson up. He lay in the dark listening. Something felt wrong. Outside, crickets sang, tree-frogs chirruped. Across the distant forest floated two muffled hoots from a barred owl. It was too quiet. At home in New Jersey, the nights are filled with the busy, comforting sounds of traffic. You always have the comforting knowledge that other people are all around you. And light: At home he can read in bed by the glow of the streetlight. It was too quiet. And much too dark. Even starlight failed to penetrate the 80-foot canopy of trees the camper was parked beneath. It was the darkest dark he had ever seen. He felt for the flashlight beside his bunk. It was gone. He found where his pants were hanging and, as he felt the pockets for a box of matches, something rustled in the leaves right outside the window, inches from his face. He heard his wife, Wanda, hold her breath; she was awake, too. Then, whatever, was outside in the darkness also breathed, and the huge silence of the night seemed to come inside the camper, stifling them. It was then he decided to pack up and move to a motel. Comments on narration: • Normally chronological (though sometimes uses flashbacks) • A sequential presentation of the events that add up to a story. • A narrative differs from a mere listing of events. Narration usually contains characters, a setting, a conflict, and a resolution. Time and place and person...

...The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Alberta’s Tar Sands Student Name: Nas Abubaker Instructor Name: Brenda Lang Course and Section: GNED 1304-009 Date: March 22, 2011 Abstract Alberta is one of the most ecologically rich provinces in Canada, with boreal forests covering most of the northern and eastern parts of the province. The exploration of the Alberta tar sands has a great impact on the environment and the community. The devastation effects can destroy ancient forests, while contaminating food and water, which disrupts local wildlife, leading to greenhouse gas emissions, as well as serious health problems. As the production of oil through tar sands creates intensive challenges, immediate strategies that control the amount of devastation are greatly needed. The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Alberta’s Tar Sands As the world is racing to discover new ways to find replacements for the rapidly diminishing stores of fossil fuels, many have gone into the avenue of looking for the solution via the route of renewable energy. However, the discovery of Canada's greatest buried treasure in Alberta has drawn attention from a multitude of countries around the world, all of them eager to sign contracts with Canadian petroleum suppliers. In a report released by the government in the late 1800's, a report dealing with the region's tar sands called them as the “most extensive petroleum field in America, and even went to the extent that the fields will...

...THIRD GRADE SCIENCE GRADE LEVEL CONTENT EXPECTATIONS SCIENCE PROCESSES 3 v.1.09 Welcome to Michigan’s K-7 Grade Level Content Expectations Purpose & Overview In 2004, the Michigan Department of Education embraced the challenge of creating Grade Level Content Expectations in response to the Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This act mandated the existence of a set of comprehensive state grade level assessments in mathematics and English language arts that are designed based on rigorous grade level content. In addition, assessments for science in elementary, middle, and high school were required. To provide greater clarity for what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of each grade, expectations for each grade level have been developed for science. In this global economy, it is essential that Michigan students possess personal, social, occupational, civic, and quantitative literacy. Mastery of the knowledge and essential skills defined in Michigan’s Grade Level Content Expectations will increase students’ ability to be successful academically, and contribute to the future businesses that employ them and the communities in which they choose to live. Reflecting best practices and current research, the Grade Level Content Expectations provide a set of clear and rigorous expectations for all students, and provide teachers with clearly defined statements of what students should know and be able to do as they progress through school.
