Gandhi and the Spinning Wheel Your Name (First M. Last) School or Institution Name     Gandhi and the Spinning Wheel Introduction Gandhi was an Indian leader who played an important role in the independence of India from the British colonial rulers (Malaspina & Quick, 2015). He was a lawyer, a philosopher, a civil rights activist, and an anti-colonial rule advocate. He believed in a non-violent resistance towards the British colonials and advocated for self-reliance and dependence as weapons against the British colonial rule.  Gandhi used the spinning wheel, which was commonly known as “charkha” to spin his clothes during his jail term as a political prisoner. The wheel is used symbolically to represent Gandhi’s idea of non-violent resistance against British textiles while advocating for homemade textiles. Weaving and textile making was a common activity among women in India. He used the wheel as a tool for a self-reliance campaign across India, intending to make people realize that self-reliance was a tool that could be used to redeem themselves economically and politically. It became a foundation for resistance and civil…

Why Chinese Students choose to Study in the United Kingdom           Name           Literature Review Instructor School Date   Introduction The higher education sector has been growing in China, but most Chinese students are studying abroad, with a majority moving to the United Kingdom. Chiefly, the demand for education in the United Kingdom remains strong among Chinese students. Evidence from the Higher Education Statistics Agency shows there were more than 120,385 Chinese students in the United Kingdom for the 2018/2019 academic year (HESA, 2019). The United Kingdom has many globally recognised universities, and the education system has created a favourable multicultural learning environment. Besides, learning institutions in the United Kingdom have highly skilled academic staff (Zhu and Reeves, 2019). International students also graduate faster in British universities as compared to students in Chinese universities. In this case, studying in the United Kingdom leads to more work and practical experiences because the students enter the job market earlier. Analysis of the existing research and studies shows Chinese students are the largest group of…

  Chemistry Batteries and Energy Storage Assignment Briefly describe what is happening at each component of a zinc/copper (Zn/Cu) galvanic cell or battery, as listed below. The Anode There are negative and positive electrodes in the battery; the anode is the negative electrode. At this point, the electrode releases electrons through a process known as the oxidation process. This reaction takes place as a result of bonding between the electrons emitted and oxygen. In most batteries, distinct materials are utilized at the two electrodes so that the reaction would take place as one substance is reduced, whereas the other gets oxidized. In our case, zinc is utilized as the negative electrode. The zinc metal gradually dissolves as the process of oxidation continues to take place; this will result in the release of zinc ions into the solution. Oxidation process occurs as follows: The Cathode From the negative and positive electrodes in the battery, the cathode acts as the positive electrode. It is at this point the cathode emits electrons through a process known as reduction. The reduction process takes place…

Chemical Transport On-Site Best Practices The key to the minimization of chemical transportation on-site hazards is to ensure safe handling.  Safe handling involves recognizing and observing the international regulations and directives that need to be followed while moving chemicals. By so doing, you’ll understand how to avoid risks and best practices for transporting chemicals on-site. If not well handled, the transportation of chemicals on-site can be disastrous and can bring substantial health-related, environmental, financial risks. There are a set of international directives and regulations that govern the movement of dangerous substances by rail, road, air, and sea. For instance, the ADR, which is a European agreement, regulates the carriage of hazardous goods by road. The Convention Covering International Carriage, Appendix C, governs the movement of dangerous substances by rail. On the other hand, the International Air Transport Association –IATA is responsible for moving hazardous goods by air through various provisions like ICAO instructions. Knowing these legislative frameworks enables you to understand best practices for safe chemical transportation. Similarly, knowing the precise risks associated with chemical transportation can help you learn…

  MANUFACTURING CELL FORMATION USING BACK PROPAGATION NETWORKS 5.1 OBJECTIVE Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) is an application of Group Technology (GT) in which functionally different machines are grouped to form a family of parts. This work gives an overview of the Back Propagation Network (BPN) based approaches to create the machine cells and component grouping for minimizing the exceptional elements and bottleneck machines. This method is applied to the known benchmark problems found in literature, and it is found to be equal or best when compared to in terms of minimizing the number of exceptional elements.   5.2 INTRODUCTION In today’s manufacturing companies, relentlessly places pressure on manufacturing systems to be enhanced in both efficiency and effectiveness. This is manifested by the fact of consumer markets in the rising tendency of a greater variety of products and a decrease in the product life cycle. Traditional manufacturing systems, such as product and process layout, do not have met the dynamic manufacturing environment. Many newer manufacturing systems have been proposed such as agile, flexible, intelligent etc., among these more modern manufacturing systems…

Rococo and Neoclassic Art. Rococo refers to a style of art, architecture, and decoration that emerged from Paris, France, in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries (Bycroft, 365). The term derives from the French word ‘rocaille’ meaning rock or rubble. Some authors refer to it as late baroque and another expression within the movement. This art has some characters, including asymmetrical values, pastel color palette, and curved lines. It also features sculpted molding, soft colors and some aspects of trompe l’oeil frescoes. They mostly depict themes that revolve around love, nature, classical myths, romantic encounters, and youth. The Venetian school influenced art through the use of erotic subjects, color, and Arcadian landscapes. It had painters such as Giorgione and Titian. Many authors first attributed the first piece, The Pastoral Concert to Giorgione, although it later became clear that it was one of Titian’s early works. It depicted and became the foundation of Rococo’s fete Galante, which is a courtship painting. The school of Fontainebleau also contributed to its internal design. When Louis XV took the reign in 1723, he…

    INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL ARTS             The Harlem Renaissance is a period as traced in the history of African American and White American people that lasted between the year 1930 and 1940. As a result of Jim Crow staunch laws in the south, and mainstream of population experiencing economic depression and the impacts of post war, most of African Americans decide to migrate towards the industrialized, Northern cities (Bremer & Sydney, 2012, p.47). This is after decades of staunch prejudice, slavery and exclusion laws and now the African Americans have hope in this Northern region of the country. However, on beginning to make their way to these Northern cities, they discover that prejudice still reside in the greater populace. Segregationist opinions forced many migrants to fake close links with one another. This leads to an emergence of “white neighborhoods” and “black neighborhoods” throughout the cities. With rare economic prospects at the moment, artistic expression becomes the only option for the black scholars, photographers, writers and artists. Although not confined within a specific neighborhood, many find themselves exposing their talents in…
