HOW TO ACHIEVE PARALLEL STRUCTURE Parallel structure means repeating the same grammar patterns to show that the ideas in them have the same importance and expressed in similar ways or that separate clusters of words appear together in identical grammatical form.Parallelism requires that the nouns be used with other nouns, verbs be used with other verbs of the same tense,predicate adjectives be used with other predicate adjectives, and so on.Parallelism is important because readers expect symmetry among coordinate sentences and sentenceelements areso pronounced that rhetorically the effect of the sentence is very different from that of a common sentence. The usual pattern of the parallel sentence is the series.In this construction, three or more elements of the same grammatical pattern are linked together. A.Parallel Structure with single words or phrases Parallelism may be secured by having a series of nouns, adjectives, gerund phrases, or clauses. Example: . wrong: All her employers found Judy to be intelligent, able and a hardworker. Correct:All her employers found Judy to be intelligent, able and hardworking. (Intelligent and able are predicate adjective; hardworker, a predicate noun was not parallel.) 2. wrong: Because Isaac memorizes, acts and can sing well, he is a musical director's ideal performer.(series of verbs) Correct: Because Isaac memorizes, acts

Royal Pavilion Work

How far does the Royal Pavilion reflect fashionable tastes of architecture, design, attitudes and way of life in the late 18th and early 19th century? The Royal Pavilion, standing in the centre of Brighton, was built over about 35 years by the Prince Regent of 1811, who would later become King George V1. It was influenced by a number of things, to an extent it reflected fashionable tastes in architecture, design, attitudes and way of life, but in some ways not. The very reason it was built in Brighton, does reflect way of life. In 1750, Dr Russel published a book: "Concerning the use of sea water in diseases of the glands". He recommended immersion in the sea, particularly Brighthelmstone sea, which had no rivers but was near cliffs and had accommodation. This became popular with the rich aristocracy for a while. The Prince would visit The Duke of Cumberland originally. This would be following fashion, but the Prince Regent soon began setting his own fashion, from following fashion, as he had a disease of the glands and visited Brighton, bringing it back to popularity. The Prince is the prime example of how the rich lived, they were used to traveling - they had a lot of money and time so often went traveling on what was known as the grand tour, to visit places of cultural interest perhaps what they had studied such as Egypt and Greece. So they would visit Brighton too, and

Organizational Structure

Organizational Structure Submitted to: Prof C.P.Shrimali By: Sachin Singh PGHR-42 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The organizational structure plays an important role in day-to-day functioning of the organization. Delegation of authority and employee reporting framework are some of the factors that determine the organizational structure. An efficient structure facilitates decision making by smoothening the span of control or the scope of the manager. The objective here is to understand why organizations have the structure that they do. By "structure" its meant things like degree and type of horizontal differentiation, vertical differentiation, mechanisms of coordination and control, formalization, and centralization of powerAccording to Taylor, Fayol, Weber and other classical theorists, there is a single best way for organization to be structured. Yet organizations vary considerably on structural attributes. The objective of much research has been to understand what determines these variations. This raises two issues: Is it random or systematic? Are some organizations simply less perfect than others, or are different designs better for different situations? It can be said that whereas strategic choice and organizational design are immensely complex there is an underlying logic based on the concept of 'fit': Certain strategies and organizational designs do fit one

Early Christian, Byzantine and Celtic Art.

Early Christian, Byzantine and Celtic Art The culture and beliefs in Northern Europe, just before the rise of Christianity, was based on animals, nature and the supernatural. They no longer worshipped many gods, and the artwork usually depicted stylised animals and nature. Northern Europe was rich in pine forests, so there are many designs based on nature from the forests around them. Before Christianity was made the official religion in 313 by Emperor Constantine, Christians would meet in catacombs for secrecy, and developed a series of secret signs such as the chi-rho, which they engraved on the walls. This is the earliest Christian art form. Christians from the Mediterranean fled to North Britain, as it was a remote area where they would not be easily found. Scellig Michael, on the West coast of Ireland, became a Christian settlement for this reason. When the Emperor Constantine died in 337, the Empire split into East and West with a separate Emperor. They developed their own styles, until 493 when Byzantine artists began to travel to the West. These factors led to the establishment of three separate styles of Early Christian Art- that in Rome, Byzantine art and architecture in Constantinople and Ravenna, and Celtic Art in North-West Europe. Characteristics of Early Christian 300-750 AD * Early Christian art isn't realistic and doesn't try to represent reality as

Peter Cook. Professor Sir Peter Cook, Southend-On-Sea English born architect is acclaimed as a student, educator, curator, director, academic, designer, and probably predominantly in Cooks eyes an experimentalist.

Amazing Archigram, 1964 Cover illustration of the fourth issue of Archigram magazine (EDITED by Ajay Singh Sihra) By Ajay Singh Sihra. CANTERBURY SCHOOL of ARCHITECTURE. Professor Sir Peter Cook, Southend-On-Sea English born architect is acclaimed as a student, educator, curator, director, academic, designer, and probably predominantly in Cooks' eyes an experimentalist. His nonconformist fifty-year career accredited by being on Queen Elizabeth II 's birthday honor list 2007 is the appreciation and recognition of the burgeoning aspirations preparatory in the eight-year-old Peter Cook. Rather than conforming to the masses Cook believes he received the knighthood for his dissimilar unorthodox approach to architecture. "It's important that you can be recognised for doing valuable work without having to build lots of big buildings, rather for being a maverick creative academic."1 Cook was introduced to Architecture at an early age due to his father, who had been an army officer in the First World War, now being the quartering commandment for the Midlands. His fathers job would entail visits to buildings deciding whether to requisition them or not. He would take the three or four year old Peter Cook along with him to study these properties. "He was looking at buildings, and I was looking at buildings with him. And the myth amongst family is that, I was fascinated by

Did the organization of the Spanish Church limit its success in the New World?

26th May 2004 Camilla Burdett C&C Did the organization of the Spanish Church limit its success in the New World? In order to decide whether or not the organisation of the Church limited or extended its success in the New World we must define 'success' and examine evidence for its achievement or otherwise. If the conversion of the Indians to Catholicism was one of the two main justifications of the Conquest then success may be defined by the extent and depth to which this occurred. The Jesuits realised, after the rush of the early achievements when progress was made relatively fast, that the conversions were in fact quite shallow: it was impossible to deny the fact that old beliefs remained, mingled with the newly imposed Christian doctrine. There were unavoidable similarities between Christianity and the old native religions: the Indians took to the custom of building churches and placing crosses on holy places remarkably well, but it was common in the 1560s for Augustinian missionaries in Guamachuco to use Andean textiles to adorn Christian buildings1. Even more alarmingly, there rose a trend in the later stages of conversion of the restatement of non-Christian beliefs and practices, as the Indians in Peru looked back to the Incas having settled after the first enthusiastic wave of Christianity: they would obey the need to fast during Lent, but would do so using

In conclusion, I think that Saving Private Ryan is a good film because it is very realistic and very effective

Jess Smith Task 2 History Mrs Knight "What are the similarities and differences between the siting, building development and decline of Conwy Castle compared to the other Castles of the Medieval Period?" In this I will be comparing Conwy to two other castles, Beaumaris and Exeter. In England the King Edward I, Longshanks (1272 - 1307) built castles along the border with Wales, this can be seen in source a which shows that the castles form a ring also known as the "Iron Ring". Source A shows us a map of Edward I's invasion to Wales the Castles he built were all in defensive positions along the coast. Most English castles were not concentric for two reasons: . There were other Castles buildings in many other sites and so walls were added. 2. The site of the castles were unsuitable so they could not fit a huge castle on top of the original hill/motte. The Welsh castles had been the design and direction of Master James of St. George a French crusader who had been on the crusades in Europe. Source D tells me that this is true, and Edwards chief architect "One of the greatest architects of the middle ages - Master James of St. George". He brought a variety of ideas and designs for the castles. Construction on Conwy Castle was started in 1283 and it was completed in 1287. Edward I completed the conquest of Snowdonia and ended the rule of the Welsh princes
