Beige

a country home with the weathered rustic appeal of early America. Paint the walls a warm country color-rich barn red, soft taupe, muted golden yellow or dusty sage green. Select matte paint finishes that are flat and non-shiny. Use soft white or beige as an accent trim color on baseboards and window frames for a primitive bedroom design. The goal is to use paint colors that are traditional and friendly, but also look muted and weathered as if they had been exposed to the sun for many seasons.…

The Illegal Operation an Essential Contribution to Social Protest/Affirmation This paper will focus on the sculpture, The Illegal Operation (1962) by Edward Kienholz. The assemblage sculpture can be found on the second floor of the Ahmanson Building at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Although understated at first, this sculpture deals with the taboo practice of abortions regulated in the 1960’s. In this paper I will discuss why this sculpture would make a good contribution to our textbook,…

I walk out of my hotel and look to my right and left. I’m trying to orient my street map in the dark. Les Jardins d’Eiffel is on a side street, Rue Amélie, in the seventh arrondissement in Paris. Emily walks out behind me, giddy with excitement. She’s 17, and I’m the only adult student on the trip, having just turned 18, so her mom has allowed her to go with me to see the Eiffel Tower at midnight. “Are you sure you can find it?,” shes asks nervously. “Yes, just let me focus,” I reply The truth…

It has many origins, from New Orleans to Kansas City to Memphis. New Orleans is the main center from where many of the influential pieces and origins were located.

Who knew mid April could be so warm. She was already sweating as she started hanging paintings on the walls. Maybe the heat was getting to me. Maybe that’s why I got so angry. I think maybe even the whitewash walls were sweating. “What is the matter with you?” she said with mild irritation. I screamed back with extraordinary force, “EVERYTHING- this house, him, you, me, us!” “Don’t be dramatic”, she says while rolling her eyes, patronization leaking from her pores like sweat. I couldn’t…

words or phrases that can only be translated in a descriptive way. One of such cases is the example below: I didn't really pay any attention to the guy at first, except to do a double-take at his impeccable colour coordination. Sand-brown fleece, beige-and-green shirt, khaki chinos, light-brown suede shoes. Even his hair matched, a kind of chestnut-and-grey flecked combination. Translated into: Na początku nie zwróciłem uwagi na tego gościa, z wyjątkiem zbyt późnego odnotowania nienagannej…

The multicolored fluorescent signs and flashing lights of the police cars reflect off the dented automatic doors, which chug open despite their missing glass. The wyvern apparently shattered them in its haste. Nessa and her partner, Dev, eye the slivers of glass on the pavement as they walk calmly towards the entrance. The two agents of the Department for Unfamiliar and Magical Beings ignore their exhaustion from their earlier calls and walk into the store. The wyvern had escaped a mob…

You literally fell down drunk and died. Not quite what the study had in mind. Last fall, I spent about a month in the file room of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, hoping to learn the secrets of the good life. The project is one of the longest-running—and probably the most exhaustive—longitudinal studies of mental and physical well-being in history. Begun in 1937 as a study of healthy, well-adjusted Harvard sophomores (all male), it has followed its subjects for more than 70 years.…

Jobs was inspired from when he went to Xerox research center, where all the things listed in the last sentence were being used. The thing he did was put all of the things into one computer. Of course Jobs added his own touches while putting it together. Before this computer, typography on the screen wasn’t used. Job made sure that the Macintosh showed text on the screen. Before this, it was drawn on the computer like a typewriter. He even had an option of having different fonts. The reason he…
