Homo sapiens is the name of the species that rules today 's Earth. It means in Latin man (Homo) that is wise (Sapiens), but who are these "wise men" that have made their way to the top of the food chain you may ask? Well, they are we, like you and me, humans that have out competed our fellow homos into extinction. How do we know this though? Well, around 3.3 million years ago people started to become curious about how we Homo Sapiens came to be and human evolution in a whole. One may think that…

Unlike other Earth sculptures, Lightning Field is not a work of art that can be viewed at any time. As it’s name would suggest Lightning Field is a literal lightning field comprised of 400 stainless steel poles with stainless steel tips in an evenly spaced grid. De Maria chose this particular spot in New Mexico because of its “magnificent, almost limitless vistas and exceptionally sparse human population, but also for its frequent incidence of atmospheric electricity…[creating] a prime…

The landscape study area into which the proposed medium-density suburban patch is to be inserted is a 180km2 portion of land with its centre located approximately 6 kilometres south of the Brisbane CBD (refer to Figure 1). Consisting of a mix of developed and undeveloped land, the area in question is typical of much of the greater Brisbane region. Viewed through the lens of the P-C-M model, it is dominated by a relatively homogenous matrix of medium-density development interspersed with patches…

This artifact is primarily based on Sinusoidal waves and how to use and apply this to represent and develop musical notes. In doing so, I had to use a variety of properties of trigonometry for the key aspects in this artifact. Such as, building an instrument and finding out the relationship between sound waves and the sinusoidal representation. Sinusoidal is any graph mainly consisted of either the sine or cosine function. The general formula for Sinusoidal waves is y=Acosfx+C.The height of the…

Benghazi Attack In Benghazi, Libya there was an attack at the United States Consulate and CIA Compound. The Benghazi strike was a tragedy for many Americans. It was soon believed that the former United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was informed about this pre-planned bombard. “ The attack was a response to an infamous YouTube clip mocking Muslims,” exclaimed Hillary Clinton.(Caruso) There were many emails Hillary tried to keep hid from the public, but once they were released the…

All three of these pieces are something that is completely different, but they all have one thing in common, music. The Fanfare for the Common Man and Adagio for Strings is something I have heard a few times here or there, whether it was in movies or even in music class whenever I was younger. The Drum Corps International 2014 was a collaboration of multiple drum corps from all over that displayed the show at a competition. Analyzing each element of these videos really made me realize how much I…

Vermicomposting is the use of worms to convert organic waste into fertilizer. Plants live off of water and photosynthesis, but all fertilizers are useful in promoting growth. Fertilizers exist naturally in the form of organic amendments, which deliver such essential nutrients as Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Potassium, and a few other macro/micro nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium. Nutrients also exist as a raw element, as in chemical fertilizers. Synthetic fertilizer delivers the nitrogen, but…

Hidden Gem in an Alley Imagine… You are going to meet some friends out to have dinner. “No big deal!”, you’re thinking- not the first time. Now Imagine… The GPS on your phone, that is directing you to the restaurant is taking you down a back alley of the town. GPS showing you that in 200 feet, you have reached your destination. What would be your thoughts and feelings about going to eat at a restaurant in a back alley? About five years ago, that same situation happened to me. Myself and a…

can do anything I set my mind to. My journey to literacy began much like any other child’s in America, in kindergarten I was officially taught how to read. My teacher started out teaching us to read words like cat and the in these little books that spaced out the letters in the way we were supposed to sound…

This is the case because she dresses and approaches the workers in a seductive manner whether it is intentional or not. The books first description of her is as follows: “A girl was standing there looking in. She had full, rouged lips and wide- spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages. She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on the insteps of which were little bouquets of red ostrich feathers.” This is preposterous in a…
