Oil well

from the weakness in oil and gas prices, Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) (RDS.B) has faced a number of challenges in the past year, which is why it has slumped close to its 52-week lows. For instance, the company has been forced to write-off $2.6 billion with respect to its exploration in Alaska and $2 billion for stopping the Carmon Creek oil project in Alberta, Canada. However, in my opinion, these write-downs are smart moves if we consider the situation unfolding in the crude oil market. Let’s see…

degradation for the sake of the future generations. The development of the sustainable energy policy is required to change values and lifestyles in energy production and use. The decline of petroleum production near the end of the 21st century will cause oil and gasoline to be in shorter supply and more expensive but before that they need to be reduced to decrease global climate change. Although people living in industrialised countries are relatively small in percentage compared to the world’s…

effective? Well, it is the number one alternative medicine used to help with anxiety and stress. Years ago there were not many books on the subject but, as technology advances so do studies of aromatherapy (“Does it Really Work?”). Many people still have their questions about whether or not it is used for cosmetic purposes more than therapeutic purposes. Therapists such as massage therapist use aromatherapy in the studios they work in. It is known that many therapist believe essential oils can…

times, I believe that we have never seen an oil painter like Jenny Saville. To me, her work is something I could spend hours looking at. The way her paint blends but yet how it still stand out on its own. The way she paints is not going to painting to painting, she takes her time with each piece to make it the best that it can be. Many people compare her work to Lucian Ferdana and Sir Peter Paul Rubens. Saville is renowned for her update to the traditional oil painting, having these very weighty…

that has been given about the mediums used, looking closely at this work it appears a crayon or oil pastel type of media has also been used to form some of the lines within the skull, such as the large black geometric line work almost forming a misshapen cube, the outline to create the teeth of the skull and also the random rapid scribbles that are see on the bottom right hand corner of the canvas. An oil pastel is pigment set into wax, it is a soft wax medium that does not dry. A crayon on the…

The painting that I found to be the most interesting was “Venus and Adonis”. This painting measures about 42 inches x 52 1/2 inches. The painting was created by oil paint, a medium composed of pigments and varying types of vegetable oils. The painting was done on stretched canvas, and therefore it gives the painting a slight textured quality. The painter, Titan, painted this picture giving soft appearances of the colors. The painting doesn’t have any harsh brush strokes, and the paint seems to…

The name Rockefeller is synonymous with the nation as one of the most historically powerful and wealthy names in the history of the United States. There are many things that come to mind with such a name. Wealth, control, monopoly, oil and railroad are items that are linked to the name Rockefeller. As John D Rockefeller was an industrialist and a pioneer in many industries, he would also push forward to establish a foundation that would be the betterment of mankind. For such a man to have such…

I decided to do bath bombs because every girl loves them. Bath bombs are use when you take a bath.Settle in for a good soak with an original Lush invention, exploding with essential oils and tons of fizzy fun. Whether you're after a relaxing, petal-laden floral soak or an invigorating multilayered explosion of color and scent, there's a bath bomb perfect for every bathing experience. They're scented, fizzy, and fun, but do bath bombs really do anything I researched they said that “ cosmetic…

While attending the Fresno Art Museum I came across a specific piece by Hung Liu, titled Huang-Jun: Imperial Warriors drawn in a oil canvas in 2001. This painting depicts a group of possibly Chinese soldiers. The group of soldiers seem to be part of the medical staff during a time of war since they’re all wearing red crosses on their chests and the background of the image seems harsh. Hung Liu is no strange to drawing paintings related to this subject since she is known for drawing about things…

can make an educated guess that Jan Van Eyck was born in the 1380’s through the 1390’s. We do have the date of his death which is July 9th, 1441 in the 15th century. His life as a painter is significant; he was alive during the Renaissance. Jan was well known during his time by rulers, saints, or other famous painters. Most speculate that Jan Van Eyck was born in Maaseik, Belgium; there are barely any records of Jan Van Eyck in his early life. Some have speculated about his birth with one…
