Everyday people purchase thousands of objects and live in large houses and live the ideal material life‚ with material things‚ and lives based on what they own. However there are several people all over the world that have no homes and base their belongings on what they can carry with them. Lars Eighner was found homeless and through this‚ discovered his own lessons of life by scavenging and developing the understanding the difference between those who live through their possessions and those who

The unknown lady in this play is one of not only mystery‚ but she is not the only one that seems to be living a facade of a life‚ a life which is far more glamorous than their own. We start out in the park where the entire drama takes place. Now at first glance upon his lurking and pouncing upon the dropped book I am lead to believe that he may be simply a passerby in her neck of the woods or this public park. Then as I read on and ultimately reach the end of the story I am left to believe that this

It is easy to say‚ and prove‚ that Greek material culture reveals an immense amount about ancient Greek society. From vast studies and examinations of the great ancient Greek architecture‚ the immaculate fine art and literature and even the personal possessions and crafts of the societies own inhabitants‚ one can reason that these materials reflect much about ancient Greece and its people. From studying the architecture of this ancient society‚ one can assume various things about its inhabitants

Clays are one of the important natural materials‚ which have been examined for catalytic applications. Clays are characterized by a layered structure and hence they are slippery when wet. They are broadly classified as cationic or smectite type (having layer lattice structure in which two-dimensional oxyanions are separated by layers of hydrated cations) and anionic or brucite type (in which the charge on the layer and the gallery ion is reversed complimentary to smectite type). Anionic clays are

Segregation is caused by * Too wet mix‚ extremely high workability or less cohesive mixture causes the mixture unable to hold heavy aggregate * Dropping from excessive height * Over compaction of fresh concrete. Two methods to minimize segregation in fresh concrete: * Adequate workability is enough. * Don’t over

structures are in structural concrete. The functional demands of such high rise structures include the use of durable materials. High Strength Concrete‚ Self–compacting Concrete are gaining widespread acceptance. Apart from the basic structural materials‚ modern projects require a variety of secondary materials for a variety of purposes such as construction chemicals‚ waterproofing materials‚ durability aids etc. The paper highlights some of the recent developments.
