Depicted above are lines 11, 12, and 13 from the poem “Ozymandias” by Percy Shelley. In this sonnet, a broken statue of an arrogant king is described in a desolate place that was once his empire.

Humans take extreme action to work against the natural world, such instances include the deforestation of land for…

(3) Equation (3) gives limit moment about 11% higher than equation (2) regardless of h. One notable point is that the above solutions depend only on bend factor(h), not on r/t and R/r. Equations (1-3) are applicable only for the pure in-plane bending moment and the effect of internal pressure is not taken in to account. Also these analytical solutions consider constant wall thickness along the contour of the pipe bend cross section. However, the most of the pipe bends are made using a forming…

Phineas Taylor Barnum, or better known as "P. T." Barnum, described as a “jack of all trades” is an understatement. As a self-made businessman (or scammer), showman (or humbug), newspaper editor (or libeler), he lived a life of exhausted passion and success. He tells his own story in his autobiography, The Life of P.T. Barnum of living in 19th century America. P.T. Barnum’s optimistic and exuberant charisma certainly helped him make a profit, yet that alone did not gain him the title of a…

People read stories and take into account what the characters learn, and apply those lessons to their own lives. In The Once and Future King, T. H.
