Shop or Slab An oilfield hand is a job that may seem like no other, but a carpenter’s apprentice is quite similar despite the job difference. An oilfield hand’s job requires him to do whatever it takes to get his pay from the oil in the ground, while a carpenter in training needs to help get a house built at all costs. The two jobs seem different, but at the same time they also require some similar qualities. Some similarities might make them hard to tell apart from each other. Even though…

Macon, which was painted by Ms. Betty Edwards’ in 2014. Also, the medium that was used for her extraordinary painting was acrylic paint on canvas, and the scale of this magnificent piece of art was 78” w x 54” h (Edwards’, 2014). Ms. Edwards’ painting caught my attention because of the beauty she displayed of the city of Macon, in addition to the many shades of acrylic paint that she used in her painting and how she captured the many events that take place in Macon. Also, the different shapes…

Towards the center of the picture, there is a couple holding an umbrella walking with their backs to the viewer down a pathway that has trees that form a canopy over it.

While majority of toys are safe, some can pose serious risk for children.

departments throughout the U.S. were not communicating and helping each other to fight the public threat of lead. Therefore it was easy for the Lead Industries Association (LIA) to downplay the impact of lead and for manufactures to avoid regulation. Paint was the primarily cause, and children were the ones who were mostly affected by lead. Although, LIA blamed the parents for the lack of parental education and therefore also for the high amount of lead poisoning, instead of admitting who was…

My mother would often yell at me to stop, but the moment she was not looking I would go hide myself to lick the paint on the wall. One day I even became seriously sick from eating such filthy item. Luckily, I was not affected from any lead poisoning. Now that I am older I know what is eatable and what is not eatable. Moreover, it is even shocking to me that…
