This is a historical style of decoration, which is based on no philosophy. This style of decoration employs the use of symmetrical decorations with geometrical designs and streamlines, which makes it suitable for mass production. Such buildings are designed with curves like ceilings. This is a period of restoring what was damaged between the First World War and the Second World War between 1919 and 1939. Some Manchester buildings were build in 1932 (Lera 2003). This is part of the art deco style, which is based on the notion of line and speed. Using the art of deco style, a good illustration can be made to symbolise a building. For instance, in the figure below the streamlines of the building symbolises straight transportation such as the Manchester Unity Building (Wiley 2008). Fig 1. Manchester United Building This is the movement, which affected the other countries (Johnson 2004). Modernism from the word modern means present time, which indicates that one has to look forward and not backward. As much as modernism could have different meanings within the history of design, it simply refers to the 20th century design movement where different groups and countries are involved in the design and construction. This is in reference to the period between the First World War and the Second World War that took place between the year 1919 and 1939. Such groups include the Bauhaus in Germany, Russian Constructivism, De Stijl in Holland, Italian Futurism and many other groups from various countries that engage in design and construction. The modernist designers also include Moholy-Nagy Le Corbusier, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, Mies Van der Rohe, Herbert Bayer and El Lissitzky (Eley, Seidel & Symes 2005). The groups, which practised modernist design, had a set of theoretical and ideological principles applied in their design to ensure that the constructions and designs implemented were appealing within the 20th century. For the design to be appreciated within the 20th century there are aesthetic design values, which the architectures and designers apply. These values have evolved due to the expansion of architectural and industrial design ideas that have kept on changing from the times of the last century to the modern century. These revolutions in the aesthetic values reflect the degree of development within the community of art. These changes have been realised because of development in sector of technology, politics as well as the economic sector. The modernism design therefore operates under the following principles and ideol
Curry refers to a variety of dishes originating from Asian countries such as India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other southern countries. One of the main features, which distinguishes curry from other kinds of food, is its complex combinations of spices, herbs, flesh and chillies (Nancie 8). Photo 1(curry) History of curry The earliest recipe for spiced meat is believed to have originated from Babylon in Mesopotamia in the year 1700 BC. In India, archaeologists have discovered evidence dating back to 2600 BCE, indicating that the early inhabitants of Indus valley used fennel, cumin, mustard and other spices in their dishes. Outside India, Buddhist monks introduced spiced foods in Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and china in the 17 th century. During the Mughal Empire, spiced food transformed with the addition of Persian cooking methods and ingredients (Lizzie 13). In the early 16 th century, Portuguese traders introduced chilli pepper in India. Similarly, Portuguese explorers are thought to have introduced chilli pepper in Europe during the late 15 th century. In Great Britain, curry has increasingly become popular since the early 1800s. Currently, curry is among popular food in most international cuisines. Types of curry & trend of people for curry food In Britain, there are various types of curries differentiated by the types of curry pastes and their combinations. Some of the most popular types of curries are, Balti, Biryani, Buhna, Dhansak and Dopiaza (Susanna 34). Balti is a British version served in most modern restaurants. Other types of curries are associated with Asian countries. Photo 2 (Red-Thai curry) How curry is made There are several methods of making curry; one of the most common and conventional methods is the Indian method (Ben 1).Using this version, oil is initially heated in a pan until it is hot. Under this step, care should be taken to prevent oil from smoking leading to creation of trans-fatty acids. Secondly, coriander, cumin, chilli powder, cardamom, cayenne pepper and turmeric spices are added to the hot oil (Penny 58). As such, the amounts of ingredients added depend on the number of people to be served. Thereafter, ginger, onions and garlic are sautéed in hot oil. Finally, meat or vegetables are added into the pan and cooked to taste (Jacob & Ashkenazi 45). Photo 3 (Indian‑food‑curry‑recipes) Health benefits of curry Apart from being quite appetizing, curry has been found to be beneficial for individual’s long-term health. If eaten regularly, one can significantly benefit from curry’s minerals and vitamins (John, 1). Turmeric, a primary ingredient in curry, has contributed to several health-dish benefits. For those suffering from arthritis and sore joints, this ingredient reduces and eases pain associated with sore and inflamed joints. Similarly, medics have suggested that turmeric slows down the growth of cancerous cells. Other health benefits associated with consumption of turmeric in our bodies include reduced risk of dementia and increased immunity. Photo 4 (lemon curry) Cu
Aging services involve caring for elderly people in society. This could also include aged people who are disabled too. In this facility, there are usually homes that take care of adult people. Housing is a very important factor to the elderly, and according to research, these groups of people always use almost thirty percent of their income in paying for housing facilities. The American Association for Homes and Services for Aging is an organization that cares for such elderly people. They even include baby boomers. These are people born between 1946 and 1963 in United States, Canada, or Australia. (Burney, 1999) This occurred after World War II, when birth rates were above normal. Surveys carried out in the United States show that there is a need that is not being met, especially for baby boomers who are about to retire. Research shows that elderly people are living longer, and there is a dire need to take care of them. It is very important to provide affordable housing for the aged people in society. The staff and development project strives to meet the core tenets of AAHSA. This includes commitment. This project there is ensuring that the staffs are committed to caring for elderly people. There are different types of homes that are provided to this group of people (Senge, 1999). There are adult family homes where the project manager ensures that the staff working therein reports on a daily basis. In this project, time management is very important. There are also nursing homes that take care of disabled and aged people in society. Such people need care for twenty-four hours. In this project, the manager ensures that staffs are a good number such that they can take care of the disabled for twenty-four hours without strain. In this case, the staffs assume responsibility for the well-being of adults and safety too. This project fulfills community involvement in various ways. One of them is where community members are allowed to volunteer their services in the boarding homes for the elderly. This is where assisted living for elderly people in such homes. This project has made it open for community members to volunteer their services to these homes. Such services include washing clothes for the elderly or general laundry work. Community members also help in preparing meals for elderly people since most of them are too old to do it by themselves. In the case of disabled, elderly people, they are fed and also washed by community members. There is the provision of nursing care through community members volunteering. This also includes giving elderly people with mental health some specialized care. Through this, the project meets community involvement a
Organizational structure Structure generally means the framework on which an organization is built and functions that keep the organization going. Organizational structure is the operating guideline that informs the members or workers how the organization works. Structure explains the way members are received, how leaders are chosen, and the process of decision-making. Organizational structure explains the way an organization puts workers and jobs for effective work performance and goal realization (Baligh, 2005). Channel of communication depends on the size of the organization; small organizations have short channels of communication because the top manager can reach the lowest ranked employee easily. On the other hand, large organizations have long channels of communication because they contain many departments and functions. From these decisions, an organizational structure is established. Organizational structure may be centralized or decentralized. In centralized structure, the top management is vested with the most of decision-making and total control over the organization’s departments, subdivisions, and divisions. In decentralized organizational structure, power and authority over control and decisions making is evenly distributed and the independence between departments and divisions is different (Baligh, 2005). In an organization, regardless of its size, employees’ tasks and complexity is defined by what function it partakes, its supervisors, and managers. Organizations use organizational charts to simplify relationship between its departments and positions and their interdependence. The finest organizational structure designed by any organization relies on many factors such as its work, revenue, number of employees, geographic distribution of its amenities, and the collection of its trading. Organizational structures have been in existence since the ancient past, they have evolved to date because of their needs and complexities in the current organization.

Introduction Banksy’s Exit through the Gift Shop film underscores a story of a French immigrant, Thierry, with an obsession for photography. He meets his cousin, a street artist, who introduces him to other street artists. Thierry’s fascination with filming makes him to document their activities. Later on, Thierry pairs up with Fairey, a street artist. He keeps on filming Fairey’s and other street artists’ activities with the aim of making a documentary. Despite Thierry claiming to compile a documentary, he has never made a movie in his life. Later on, Thierry meets Banksy a renowned street artist. It is through this meeting that the film takes an interesting twist and focuses on Thierry who others described as crazy and retarded. At the end of the film, Thierry appears to have played a role of experienced street artist expected of Banksy himself. The interesting twist of events at the end of the film makes one to believe that the whole documentary is not real but a mockery. Street Art Thierry’s undertakings to make a street art documentary while he has never made a movie in his life makes the whole film a mockery rather than truthful. The unfolding story after he meets the street artist Banksy is so unreal that it makes the whole story about a documentary a mockery. Thierry is presented as the Mr. Brain Wash (MBW) as he is not seen to create much artwork himself despite claiming to assemble a documentary concerning street art. The film documentary illustrates that the story about MBW is a hoax. In street art MBW, character exists and is associated with comical actions that are entertaining to the audience. However, in the documentary MBW is all hoax as Thierry is not said to be working when splattering paint to create color images. This raises the possibility that Thierry himself and his actions including the artworks are all but false. Thierry is portrayed as having inferior artistic skills in the documentary but later on towards the end of the film, he comes out as an experienced and MBW overnight. This suggests that the whole artworks and characters in the film are not real. There are a whole set of clues to point out that the whole documentary is not real but a joke. Scenes of Thierry acting funny come out clearly when he is said to not to be working whilst he is seen splattering paint randomly to create color images thus trying to create a poster therein. These scenes appear to be very short raising the issue of whether the whole documentary is a hoax or not.

Mountaineering is a sport that involves using skills and technical knowledge to climb mountains. It is one of the most challenging sports in the world, and it has gained increasing popularity in recent years. Participants must have athletic ability and superior climbing skills to be able to achieve their objectives. When climbing high mountains, individual climbers face many dangers. There are many cases of injury and death among mountaineers. The article “Mountaineering Fatalities on Denali” by McIntosh, Campbell, Dow, and Grissom, which appears in the 9th volume of the High Altitude Medicine & Biology Journal, addresses the question of fatalities in the sport. Specifically, the authors set out to provide a descriptive analysis of all the fatalities that have happened on Mt. Denali from 1903 to 2006. The authors hope to identify fatality trends and subsequently use this information to offer recommendations for improving safety. The study is a descriptive analysis that seeks to present new findings by performing a detailed analysis of past data. The researchers reviewed the primary data contained in databases maintained by the National Park Service (NPS). This data is comprehensive since the NPS has maintained records of all events involving a rescue or fatality on Mt. Denali since 1903. This data includes “expedition details, search and rescue efforts, and any medical treatment rendered” (McIntosh et al. 90). In addition to this information, the NPS has also maintained essential information about individual climbers and expeditions since the late 1980s. Using these data sets, the researchers were able to establish the primary cause of death for various climbers as recorded by the NPS. The study made use of statistical techniques to analyze the data collected. By using the logistic regression with climber information for the period under study, the authors were able to analyze trends in fatality rates. The software tool used to perform data analys
Describing the Interviewee The interviewee is a 27 years old female who works as a DJ and a musician. She has a history of mental health struggles, including self-harm, and she was recently diagnosed with a mental health disorder. Recently, she entered a rehabilitation facility and enrolled in the 12 steps program. This female is a good example of why addiction develops and ways in which a person can overcome it, including professional help and social support. Describing the Interview Process The interview was conducted via Skype call on November 20th. I contacted the interviewee through social media since she has publicly talked about her addiction and recovery process in one of her Instagram posts. The purpose of her post was to show support to others who struggle with addiction, and I asked her to discuss her recovery process. I wrote her a message asking them to take part in a short interview about addiction and recovery, which would be recorded for the purposes of my class. I prepared several questions, including the ones included in this assignment. The interview process was good; I called the interviewee at a scheduled time and asked her the questions from the list. Interview Findings The interviewee discussed the onset of her addiction, which began after she turned 18. She argued that the social acceptance of substances such as alcohol and even heavy drugs among her peers has led to her using them on a regular basis. Moreover, she cited mental health struggles
Discuss how drug enforcement has reshaped the criminal justice system. For example, how have police officers’ roles changed since the introduction of the war on drugs? There is no other aspect that has reshaped the criminal justice system than that of the national drug policy in the recent past. The war on drugs, which was formally announced during the nineteen eighties, has been attributed to the great development of the prison system in American society. National drug policies are critical on imposing punishment and have changed the manner in which the U.S views crime timely, during mistrust towards some communities. The anti-drug laws have reshaped the criminal justice system since there are strengthened efforts to improved anti-drug laws and trials and heavy penalties that are imposed as a result. The increasing offenders being incarcerated have continued to serve their sentences due to drug charges (Mauer & King, 2007). Following these processes, a number of criminal laws have been drafted and enacted through the federal and state government regarding trafficking and processing illegal drugs. Heavier sentences are being imposed, and the anti-drug war is attributed to the development of the prison system in the US (Cole & Smith, 2006). The responsibility of the police officers, on the other hand, has modified since they are now more engaged to enforce the law against illegal drugs. They have worked for hand in hand with state and federal institutions to structure multijurisdictional antidrug laws. The police officers have a role in maintaining and enforcing the laws hence; they have continued to arrest drug offenders in every part of the U.S. As a result, the police have made more arrests, which have tripled since the last twenty-five years adding up to 1.8 Million in two thousand and five ((Mauer & King, 2007). Drug offenders have augmented since nineteen eighty in state and federal prisons. This has been approximated to be 41,100 during the 1980s to close to half a million today (Mauer & King, 2007). These statistics emphasize the increased role that has faced the police officers. The text argued that marijuana legislation was largely shaped by ethnic bigotry. Agree or disagree with this assertion and presentation logic in support of your stance. Marijuana use has become increasingly used in the U. S, which was especially accelerated by the influx of immigrants, especially the Mexicans. Marijuana was used as the bases for Americans to reject Mexicans since they were afraid of losing jobs to them, sharing resources as well as social institutions. In 2005, close to 42.6 percent of total drug arrests were related to marijuana as being attributed to 79% of the rise in drug arrests during the nineteen nineties (Mauer & King, 2007). The recognition of marijuana for the ethnic minorities resulted in the application of racism to oppose marijuana. Anti-marijuana legislation was drafted as a result of racism since it was common among the Mexicans. Users of marijuana were said to be involved in criminal activities, especially property offenses, irrationalit
Introduction Boys and girls have frequent misunderstandings. This is not just because of the difference in genetic set-ups but because of the variation in personalities, beliefs, likes, and dislikes, and even in the ways of handling things. Boys will always be boys as girls will always be girls. But however big the differences may be, however frequent the misunderstandings occur, it should not be forgotten that misunderstandings can always be resolved through one tested means and this is proper communication. An example of misunderstanding I, myself, can particularly cite an example where I had a misunderstanding with the opposite sex, and this is a misunderstanding that could have been easily prevented if just communicated well. This misunderstanding occurred one time when our group of friends decided to hang out together and have some fun at one of our friend’s houses. There we were given a choice of what to do – watch a movie, listen to the radio or play PlayStation. I asked them to watch a movie first since it was a very relaxing day and we could all eat popcorn while watching the movie. But this became a very complex choice because we could not agree on what type of movie to watch. Most of the girls wanted to watch either a feel-good movie or a love story movie. But the guys, I included, reacted vehemently with the idea as we kept on suggesting watching either suspense or an action-oriented movie. The argument heated up and to pacify things, we decided not to watch any movie at all but to just play the PlayStation. Naturally, it became a battle of boys versus girls. We were playing perfectly well and when the girls started to win the game, of course, we did not want to admit that we were losers, hence we teased the girls about it. We challenged them and we even said that we were just giving them a chance to win because we know that this type of game is not in their league. This was a big blow to girls’ pride, they felt so angry that they just walked out on us. The bottom line because we had such misunderstanding is because of the differences in our sets of choices. Boys like the boys’ stuff and girls like the girls’ stuff. We want to watch an entirely different type of movie from the girls. I think that I did not handle the situation very well. I could have helped resolve the problem easily but I did not. Had I just proposed a compromise for the movie choice, things would have turned out differently. If we just focus on being positive, like challenging the girls to play the game more passionately to prove that they are not the ‘sissies’ that we were teasing them about, then a misunderstanding would have not occurred. Or if they did not just walk out and just told them straight to the point that they don’t like the way we were teasing
