Right-wing populism

This sculpture represents a man caring a calf and is part of the Archaic Greek period. The sculpture was most likely requested as a token to remember the occasion; making a sacrificial offering to a god or goddess. The condition of the statue is poor, as pieces appear broken or missing, such as the legs, hands, and chin. It is identifiable as an Archaic Greek statue by its date (560 BCE), it’s style and composition. The sculpture shows a cloaked male who appears to be holding a calf over his…

Some of the greatest improvements in both the technologies and strategies involved in aviation took place in the period of time between the end of WWI and the end of WWII. “Forgotten Progress: The Development of Close Air Support Doctrine Before World War II” explains that the greatest developments in aviation was not in the technology, but instead in the strategies. The article “The Tu-4: The Travails of Technology Transfer by Imitation” focuses on the Soviet Union’s improvements in aviation,…

The Wright Design The Wright Brothers didn't invent the design of the airplane. In fact, their entire plane was based on how birds fly. They made the aircraft so it would catch some heavy winds that blew. Plus, they needed light weight materials so the plane wouldn't fall from the sky. But they did tweak it so it could be controlled. That's where the engine and propellers come in. They launch the craft's thrust. Their plane has a very unique design. Nevertheless,their plane was…

All I could see was the ground coming closer and closer to my face as I fell for the first time off the back of a horse. There was a teenage boy jumping in front of me, trying to stop the run away and keep me from hurting anything on my very small, frail body, but to no avail. I hit the ground hard, gasps and screams echoing in my ears and ate a few mouthfuls of dirt, sand and horse manure. Being only 5 and having the gritty feeling of sand stuck between my teeth I burst into tears and lay on…

Hanging on the wall at my eye level, a vivid painting depict a mountain lion, a dog, and a man caught my attention. Sitting in front of the tree, a man is holding a colt revolver on his right hand and a bowie knife on his left, the weapons he possibly used to kill the mountain lion lying in front of him. A black dog is sitting obediently next to the man. As the man’s mixed facial expression triggered my curiosity to find out more of his story, I took a step closer to this painting, Peter Quivey…

Birds angle their wings while flying, they do this for balance and control. When they saw this they tried to emulate it, they called this concept wing warping. This concept really changed their ways of thinking, as they figured out a great step in creating the first flyable plane. And then, they started creating their first plane.They…

the story of Theseus. Daedalus and Icarus were locked up in a tower with no way down on the completion of the Labyrinth, because King Minos wanted no man to know how to get in or out. Daedalus had to collect the feathers of birds to make artificial wings for himself and his son. In the story Daedalos escapes, but Icarus dies, because he doesn't listen and flies too close to the sun which melts the wax holding the feathers in place. Man has also associated flying in myths with gods like Apollo,…

It was a week since I have last spoken to Cosmo and I started to suspect that he got himself killed by going in the eerie human’s house, but he has ventured into that abyss many times. I told him that we needed to get ready for the harsh winter by expanding our web so our children would have a well built web to rest on while they grew. I captured two moderate size flies that night. They looked very scrumptious, but I was reliant on my dear Cosmo to crawl his way back home so we could have shared…

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), more commonly called Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), or Drones are aircrafts with no pilots on board. They can fly using remote controls or pre-programmed flight plans (UAV Staff). They can be remote controlled for short or long ranges of time (Staff on Friends Committee on National Legislation). UAVs range on sizes from less than a pound to over 40,000 pounds (UAV Staff). Each UAV can stay in the sky for up to seventeen hours. They send back images of…
