The patina is preserving the statue, it is protecting the Statue of Liberty from further deterioration. Another result of patina, besides the blue-green color, is the mass change of the Statue of Liberty.

As a young child, my grandmother’s china cabinet was enchanting. When the sun streamed through the cabinet at the perfect angle, pink patterns created by glass dishes were splayed on the green shag carpet. Of course, I was not interested in the glassware that produced the light display, I was just intrigued by the display itself. As I grew, my grandmother explained these two pale pink glassware sets were known as Depression Glass. Like many other women, my great grandmother collected the sets piece by piece, and they became her pride and joy. Although they may not be made of high quality glass, these cups, plates, and bowls are priceless family heirlooms that remind us that beauty can be found in the bleakest of times, even during the

What do you think about when you hear the term red solo cup? Most people from ages 12-21 think of getting drunk on alcohol (SAMHSA). This day and age in society many people see drinking as an over glorified drinking experience in everything, especially in social media. A lot of parents make the exception for holidays like Christmas, New Year’s, and thanksgiving. A lot of colleges say that drinking is a part of college life. That’s why some colleges have drinking on campus, but the real issue is when people abuse that privilege and hurt themselves and others. This is why many believe the legal drinking age should stay at 21.

The movie, Secondhand Lions, is the story of a young boy (Walter) who is dropped off at the home of his two elderly uncles (Uncle Hub and Uncle Garth) by his single mother. There are rumors surrounding Uncle Hub and Uncle Garth’s past lives and speculation that they have millions of dollars hidden on their land. Relatives and strangers hope to find or inherit some of the cash. Both uncles are reluctant to have Walter at their home and view him as a nuisance. Uncle Garth beings to tell Walter tails of him and Hub’s adventures as young men serving in the French Foreign Lesion during World War I. Uncle Hub is a wild character, who seems to be desperately trying to hold onto his youth and prove that he is still as strong and capable as ever.

Louis Comfort Tiffany, an American artist, and designer, was born in New York City in 1843. Tiffany, the son of Charles, who was the founder of the jewelry firm “Tiffany and Co.,” began his career as a painter and then expanded to design and direct his studios in order to “produce lead-glass windows, mosaics, lighting, glass, pottery, metalwork, enamels, glass, pottery, jewelry, and interiors” (“Louis Comfort Tiffany Stained Glass Art”; Frelinghuysen and Obniski). Beginning in the late 1870’s the decorative arts and interiors caught Tiffany’s eyes and he began exploring and trialing with stained glass (Frelinghuysen and Obniski). As years passed he introduced blown-glass vases and bowls called “Favrile.” The

Martin Robertson and Mary Beard’s manuscript, Adopting an Approach, focuses on the study of Athenian pottery. The manuscript begins, by describing Sir John Beazley and his revolutionary method of studying Greek vases. The Beazley Method focuses on the technical conventions of Greek Vases such as naming the artist, dating the pieces and then grouping them based off of similar characteristics. Beazley “provided for the first time a comprehensive framework of analysis for Athenian painting, and a way of dating and classifying.” (Pg. 16) However, what Beard’s main argument suggests is that it is not the artists that help us understand the importance of the vases because even if a vase is assigned to a specific time period or artist, there is

Capital punishment has been around since the eighteenth century, but it ceases to exist in the modern era for countries like Canada. Canada’s death penalty law was instated in 1759, but later abolished in 1976 (Statistics Canada).Along with being an extremely controversial topic, capital punishment has been sought to be safer for crime victims, cheaper and a better deterrent than prisons. However when looking at the facts it can be argued that the death penalty not only decreases crime rates and costs less, it is simply morally wrong.

The particles were even more narrowed down in this final streak allowing for further separation of each individual particle. The streaking utensil was cleaned using the particle remover and returned to the utensil storage area. And the other items collected for this lab were cleaned and returned to their storage areas.

In 1799, when Napoleon’s army was dismantling a wall in Rashid, Egypt, they discovered the Rosetta Stone. Little did they know that this 11-inch thick piece of rock would be one of the greatest discoveries in history! It contained Egyptian scripture, with Greek also on the stone. This was used to decode the once lost Egyptian writing system. Before the 1800’s, attempts at trying to uncover the secrets held by the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics found on walls inside numerous tombs were useless. The pictures were falsely believed to be symbolic, representing some sort of object or idea. Something soon changed all of this misconception. 1799 was the year of a great breakthrough in Egyptology. French troops, under

The Earth’s Skin is like a city immersed and covered with silver and gold, or gold-threaded tapestry, its surface broken by shimmering red swags and black folds. Distance made a difference in understanding this artwork. As you move close we can see that the whole glinting thing is pieced together from countless tiny parts: pieces of colored metal pinched and twisted into strips, squares, circles and rosettes, linked together, like chain mail, with bits of copper wire. The beauty of this artwork is matched by the pleasure of recognizing that its magic is made with discarded bottle tops. The creation of the artwork is mainly done using liquor bottle caps. I got attracted to material that has had

Dosomething.org defines Cyber Bullying as “the use of technology to hassle, threaten, verbally abuse or humiliate another teen.” Since Cyber Bullying is a relatively new form of bullying, it doesn’t get as much attention as the physical or verbal form, which is most commonly known. People intend to be able to interact with friends and family over social networks, but occasionally malicious individuals make fun of people, or harass them over the internet. One out of three teens experienced being bullied online as stated in Cyber Bullying Statistics. It is critical because this generation is heavily dependent upon the internet, and loads of people use it now compared to the past. Cyber Bullying on social networks is a worldwide issue affecting many people socially, emotionally, and psychologically and parents can help limit the occurrence.
