Paella I decided to look at the aspects surrounding the predominately Spanish dish, paella. Obviously the actual dish and the ingredients that make up the dish are the most important components surrounding the meal. Therefore to begin with I decided to draw sliced green and red peppers. Through completing this piece of work I was able to get the texture and the colours of the peppers and use them to good effect. I then went on to draw a clove of garlic. As the clove is mainly white I had to emphasise this by creating a somewhat strong shadow that consisted of many built up colours. Continuing with the theme of ingredients I went on to draw a sliced tomato, which I completed in pastels. I finished by painting some peas and an olive oil bottle from observation. As paella is Spanish I decided to incorporate a Spanish theme into my project. I did this by observing Gaudi's architecture, which can mainly be found in the Spanish capital, Barcelona. His work is said to be 'organic architecture.' This was a good aspect of his work as it meant I could tie in the food I had studied, into Guadi's architecture. As well as looking at the culture I also decided to look at the working environment that such a dish may be prepared in. Therefore I drew my kitchen sink and it's surroundings. I also looked at aspects of the table setting, by drawing a wine glass in white pastels on black paper.

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

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

Commentry on Wilfred Noyce's - Breathless

Commentary on 'Breathless' Wilfred Noyce's, "Breathless" is a heavy poem about a man encountering physical difficulty whilst climbing a mountain. The tall structure of the poem and the difficulty of reading the poem, help the reader identify with the relentlessness the climber is experiencing, leaving the reader somewhat exhausted and irritated. The reader cannot help but feel that in a time of severe difficulty pessimism extinguishes even the strong virtue of optimism, neglecting the splendors of ones surrounding hence enervating morale. The structure of the poem is narrow and tall resembling the steepness and shape of the mountain. This not only gives an automatic visual image of the dire difficulty of having to hike up such steepness but also provides insight to the voice's state of mind, limited to only verticality. The lines of the poem are irregular and cannot be grouped into stanza, presenting an immediate difficulty because to follow the jagged structure of lines is confusing. The verticality and the short phrases can also represent conservation, the tall structure of the poem and the two-worded lines, attempt to conserve space just as the voice meticulously conserves the 'dry air'. The use of enjambment and the regular rhyme scheme ushers the reader to read the poem quickly. The anxiety that the reader feels to finish the poem corresponds to the way in which the

Multiple Nuclei Theory

Multiple Nuclei Theory This theory was first proposed in 1945 by Harris and Ullman. They constructed this model to demonstrate that not all cities fit into the concentric and sector model. They claimed that although these patterns may exist, reality is far more complex than those two theories imply. They argued that land use patterns do not grow from a single central point in the city but from multiple points or nuclei. They assumed more than one desired location for access. This is based on the fact that many towns and nearly all large cities grow about many nuclei rather than around a simple CBD. Some of these nuclei are pre-existing settlements; others arise from urbanization and external economies. The number and functions of the nuclei differ from city to city. The character of land use distribution around growth poles is determined by: - the unique factors of the site - the history of individual city In the past, some cities have engulfed surrounding settlements or have evolved strong suburban areas around the periphery of the city. This situation causes the 'suburbs' to function as small independent business districts, with their own shops and businesses away from the main urban centre. This defies the sector and concentric models as they both demonstrate that the individual districts of business, industry and housing spread out from the CBD. Harris and Ullman

The advantages to the owner of the building is that the BMS would increase the rental value of the property.

Design Principles and Applications assignment 2. Task 1 The advantages to the owner of the building is that the BMS would increase the rental value of the property. The BMS makes obvious power consumption and energy cost cuts meaning a reduced expense to the occupier in terms of running cost bills, but this cost would be balanced out by the increased cost in rent, which would be necessary by the owner to recoup the capital cost of the BMS system. It would also give the owner greater flexibility over the change of use that may occur in the building. With the BMS in place no changes would have to be made in order to accommodate other types of work (ie, changing from an office to a place of manual labour), within the building. Any adjustments to room temperature for example would be taken care of by the automated BMS. If there is more than one tenant in the building the BMS can then be tailored to suit their individual needs. This also means that for the owner the individual tenants can be billed for services that they use, ie electricity, maintenance cost per hour usage of heating\cooling systems etc. An advantage to the building tenant is that energy consumption is reduced. Effective monitoring can also be achieved which helps when looking at areas that need improvement. The internal conditions can be controlled to suit the working environment meaning that comfort

What were the advantages of Tesco choosing their business location where they did?

What were the advantages of Tesco choosing their business location where they did? Tesco put a substantial amount of money into researching the best place for their new stores and after this research was complete they decided upon an area in the Homend close to the train station. There used to be a factory on the same site but it had been shut down and had become a derelict. This was good for many reasons; one was that it was easy for them to get planning permission for a new store from the council because the derelict factory was an eyesore to a town priding itself on its natural beauty. As well as being easy to get the permission to build on the site it was also very cheap to purchase the land much for the same reason as before. The area of the town was also very advantageous to the store with regards to its market. The store was built in a place that is within walking distance for the people that live in the town and also has easy access because of the by-pass and it being on the outskirts of the town. What are the advantages of Tesco's site choice now? When the research is being done it is important to think about the future, it would be disadvantageous for a business to build on the outskirts of a town because it allows easy access for the lorry's then 10 years later they are surrounded because of the towns growth. Tesco's obviously thought to the future because

Electronic strustures

Electronic structures Electronic structures are the structures of particles (elements), these structures show the amount of electrons in each shell. The electron structure of oxygen is 2,6 this means that there is the maximum amount of electrons in the first shell and the second shell has only six electrons. Oxygen is situated in the non-metal section of the periodic table, this is on the right hand side. Oxygen is actually in group 6 period 2. The chemical property of oxygen is This particle is shown in the diagram below. The electron structure for aluminium is also different, this structure 2,8,3 this means that there is the maximum amount in the fist two shells and then in the first shell there is three electrons in it outer shell this makes the particle very reactive. Aluminium is situated in the poor metal part of the table, this is this is also on the right hand side. It is in group 3 period 3. The particle is shown below in the diagram. The electron structure for argon is 2,8,8 this means that all the shells are full so it is a strong particle however it is not as strong as helium this is because the more shells the nuclei has more difficulty keeping them. Argon is situated in the noble gasses which is on the far right hand side, it is from within group 0 period 3. The structure of the atom is shown below in the diagram. The electron structure for calcium is

Billy Elliot - a discussion of the film.

Billy Elliot The film is set in 1984, and shows the events in the British coal-mining town, Durham, in which 11-year old Billy Elliot lives in. The events are representative of the social chaos caused by Margaret Thatcher's iron-fisted administration. The town's coal miners are on strike, including Billy's father and older brother Tony, and daily confrontations against hundreds of riot police have become normal to see in the streets. , Billy and his friend walk along having a conversation as she casually taps each one of the policeman's riot shields. To add to Billy's problems, his mother is dead, and his grandmother is going senile and is prone to wandering off. To escape the misery of his working-class childhood, Billy finds a passion for music and dance, often with the help of his brother's LPs. However, the norms and values of the area did not allow for men to become ballet dancers, and any who did were automatically persecuted and assumed gay by their piers. Billy experienced this stereotype from his family and friends who did not approve of it, although his best friend Michael did not mind, as he was actually gay himself. Billy's passion for dance began when a ballet class taught by Mrs. Wilkinson was observed from the boxing ring his father had sent him to. Billy found that he preferred wearing a tutu to boxing gloves. Despite the fact that all of Mrs. Wilkinson's

Manchester Airport Environmental Aspects

Manchester Airport Environmental Aspects Manchester Airport and its surroundings do not do the environment any good. During the building of the second runway, there was a significant number of protests, to stop the destruction of wildlife's habitats. These protests led to tunnels being dug and tree top fortifications being built, to stop the building work carried on. Lots of countryside had to be destroyed to make room for the new runway, and people had to be moved out of their houses, Manchester airport had to pay for them to be moved and re-housed near the area, because they were knocking down peoples houses to make way for the new runway. Some protesters even became well known because of the press that they were given because of the protests they were staging to stop the construction going on. One of which was called Swampy, he dug a hole in the area and lived in it for several days to stop the building work going on. Eventually he was arrested, but his name was splashed across the press, and he appeared on TV shows because of what he did. Manchester finished building the runway, but lowered the values of the houses near by because no-one wants to move into a house next to a runway because of the noise pollution it cause therefore the houses will sell for less and puts the person out of a lot of cash. Therefore Manchester Airport has to take a lot of things
