Art and Craft of the machine - F.L.W
Introduction Like in Wright's explanation (1901), most theoretical works about Architecture influence practices like the Kunsthaus in Graz (2003), to create the basic understanding that architecture depends, the relation between Wright's view about the machine and its use in practices in the 20th Century could have inspired or influenced modern practices in the 21st Century and helped guide modern Architects in mechanical tools and technological advances.

Top 10 Most Deadly Snakes of the world
10. Anaconda Anacondas are found in the wet lands of South America. Anaconda is basically a giant which hunts using power and stealth, growing to almost 28 feet long and weighing up to 450 pounds! The anaconda is the largest snake on earth. It uses water to support its massive bulk. This giant deadly snake can easily kill a human but there is no firm proof that it ever has. Only rumors have been heard about it but the movies never fail to show them as extremely deadly snakes! It’s easy to see why people are afraid of this monster, it silently waits just beneath the surface of water for its pray to come in its striking range. Anacondas can strike up to a third of its length which is almost 9 feet for a fully grown Anaconda! The Anaconda doesn’t kill with venom, these deadly snakes are constrictors which crush the life out of their victims. These deadly snakes are so powerful that their hold causes the blood vessels the heart and brain to rupture. There is not a single living animal in South America that can survive the Anacondas attack. Even the cousin of the Alligator is not safe; a black caiman is about the largest thing that the Anaconda can swallow in a single go! Like all deadly snakes, the Anaconda has an extremely flexible jaw that can stretch to accommodate a pray several times its size.

How to Cope with Tinnitus
I hate the word cope. Merriam Webster offers a couple of different definitions for cope. The first, is to deal with and attempt to overcome problems and difficulties —often used with with. The second, is to maintain a contest or combat usually on even terms or with success —used with with. Both definitions describe coping as battling with a certain difficulty or frustration. In my honest opinion, the word cope, offers little hope. It is not my intention to be discouraging, I'm just sharing the reality of my own experience. For instance, I am coping with tinnitus.

HENRY VIII
The larger than life King, Henry VIII, was one of the most influential monarchs in English history. We remember him from our school days with such words as: Hampton Court, 6 wives, the originator of the Church of England --- and yet --- he must have had some good qualities? The second King from The House of Tudor, Henry VIII left his mark within the pages of history. His actual life story is quite an interesting one!

Can I Sue for a Slip and Fall Accident on Commercial Property?
If you have been injured on someone else’s property, then, in short, yes, you can sue for a slip and fall accident on a commercial property. But in order to win damages for you, your attorney is going to have to prove that the commercial property owner was negligent, and proving negligence in premises liability cases can be quite a challenge. A judge or jury will scrutinize the evidence to determine whether or not you were harmed while on a commercial property due to their failure to behave with the level of care that any other persons of rational prudence would have used under the same circumstances.

Types of Plastics Used in Food Packaging
Despite the safety considerations, the utilization of plastics in food packaging has continuing to extend due to the low price of materials and practical benefits (such as thermosealability, microwavability, optical properties, and unlimited sizes and shapes) over ancient materials like glass and tinplate. Multiple sorts of plastics are being employed as materials for food packaging, as well as polyolefin, polyester, polyvinyl resin, polyvinylidene chloride, phenylethylene, polyamide, and gas vinyl alcohol. Though over thirty sorts of plastics are used as packaging materials, polyolefins and polyesters are the foremost common.

Support your Screenwriters
Every movie you've ever seen has someone behind the scenes, the person that made the movie possible. Some of them you've heard of like David Crane, the writer and a producer of the show "Friends" which started in 1994. We also have Jennifer Michelle, the writer of Frozen and its sequel, the first movie earning her an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Yet, even with these two writers, typically their names aren't in big bold letters in the credits like the cast, supporting cast, and producers. In some cases, this is wrong, I know, especially with animated films. Yes, the screenwriter is in the credits, but I feel they should be one of the first few names on it, even if most people don't stay until the end. For screenwriters, I feel like it would make them happier to be up higher, though this is also personal opinion, however they deserve it, much like the rest who made it happen.

What world would you create if you did not know your place in it in advance?
Who decides what's fair? Justice is a big word. Why don't we replace it with fairness and see where it takes us? We consider something fair whenever no one has an unjustified advantage or disadvantage over another.
