Artist statement Art has always remained one of my uppermost loves and priorities since I was young. I continually perceived art as an activity that drew inspiration and awe, a situation that greatly molded my inquisitive in art. During my time at home, I was always engaged in amateur artwork, whether it was drawing with chalk on the house walls, or doodling in sketchbooks. Moreover, my room was full of art supplies and piles of scribbles, expressing my deep interest in the world of art. Admittedly, although I was never eager to make my work look modest, every such piece of artwork was incomplete. I was more focused on trying new ideas and skills while attempting to interact with as many art materials as possible. My perception of artwork was built on the principle of learning new skills everyday and becoming better than I was the day before. As I grew older, I began learning more about art, which helped shape my artistic merits and individuality. Nonetheless, I give credit to my mother for being a pillar during my…

A CHART SHOWING PERCENTAGE OF WOMEN WHO USE ALCOHOL ACROSS FIFTEEN (15) YEARS. I obtained the following data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and it includes the percentage of women drinking alcohol from the year 2002 to 2017, which was on the increase. An excel spreadsheet to create this visual representation of the data. It’s interesting to see alcohol intake rising among women, although sensitization and educating about the dangers of alcohol abuse has been on the rise. The chart shows increased alcohol consumption among women between the years 2002 and 2017. Several reasons might have caused the trend. The main reasons include stress due to increased activities and responsibilities among women. Changing social norms are the primary factor associated with this increased drinking menace in the United States. I find it interesting that the increase in alcohol intake among women is attributable to the feminist agenda. I mean, “what a man can do a woman can do better,” can it also apply to this situation? Is the path to equality among the different genders leading to such…

Our future on Planet Earth Life on Planet Earth is supported by biological diversity. This implies that food that people eat, air people breathe, and the drinking water becomes a reality with healthy biodiversity. Nevertheless, this vital human lifeline is mostly threatened by some changes in nature that are brought about by either natural circumstances or social activities. The question that lingers on people’s minds is whether there is a technology that will help in keeping humans healthy and stable on planet earth and if there is, one needs to get the ones that hold the most significant promise to a sustainable future. For many years, people have misused natural infrastructures by modifying over 40% of the Planet Earth with catastrophic effects. Notably, people represent only 0.01% of all the Planet Earth’s life, but the impact people have on the ecosystems has caused 83% loss of wild animals in the world and 50% loss of the world’s plants (Palmer). This means that if species are being lost through extinction, the life web is destroyed. In return, ecosystems’ resilience is affected,…

Video games as a tool to train visual skills Achtman, R. L., C. S. Green, and Daphne Bavelier. “Video games as a tool to train visual skills    [REVIEW].” Restorative neurology and neuroscience, 2008, pp. 435-446. In accordance to Bavelier, Green and Achtman in Restorative Neurology &            Neuroscience, video games can assist in rehabilitating people who have lost specific           visual abilities due to neurological damage. In their study, they evaluated the skills of     both people who play video games and those who don’t play in several areas like visual          search tasks as well as peripheral vision tests. Bavelier, Green and Achtman argued that      the outcome showed that those who played video games were better than those who            don’t play video games. Even after the tests, they went ahead to test the training effects          on non-video game players. That is, they continued testing some of non-players as a     control group while recruiting others in video game playing who were initially not      playing. The control group depicted little improvement whereas the group that…

Business startups model Business startups model has proved useful to the business entrepreneurs both in an existing and in the startup. Alexander Osterwalder developed it to conceptualize of a wide range of business models. The business model canvas should be presented in a visual chart clearly describing the business infrastructure, customers, financial capability and the products traded in the company (GENADINIK, 2018 p.11). Infrastructure is based on crucial resources evaluation which can create value to the customers as well as identifying on the partner network to help the enterprise to reduce the business risks. On the customer notion, an enterprise should be precise on the clients whom they intended to serve. Such requires segmentation to allow the business to reach a large number of customers with different needs. The company’s finances are vital in business canvas model since it will enable an enterprise to develop cost structure. A good business venture structure should be cost and value-driven.   The business model innovation process is a crucial part of the development of either a startup or implement factors which can heighten…

DELILAH MONTOYA VISUAL REPRESENTATION Delilah Montoya has had art exhibitions in various parts of the country, especially in Houston, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. In her art of an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe drawn on the front part of a faceless being of what could be a woman, we are going to present the role of religious iconologies to the people’s faith. The reason I chose the image is that it tries to describe what role the church and religion play in the community where people face different forms of struggles. Montoya, in the image, has a clear message she intends for the audience to understand. From many of the artist’s work, she has always tried to emphasize the role and struggles women go through in their lives, and this isn’t an exception. In the image, we see a faceless of what appears to be a woman with vegetation of cacti growing in front of her. The background represented in a vintage black and white form. Women have, for a very long period, been the subject of mistreatment…

Visual Analysis of Paintings VISUAL ANALYSIS PAPER Rembrandt van Rijn, Landscape with a castle, oil on panel, c.1640   Falling on the foreground is a man holding scrolls and some on the ground. Ideally, scriptures were used as writing materials before the period of industrial revolution after which better writings materials were brought up. Therefore, this painting, at a glance brings the theme of art, through reading and writing. There are large paintings of real colours in the foreground and throughout the picture. This colouring defines the actual application of perfect contrast. The front presents the older man, perfectly fit in old-time attire and barefoot, a clear reflection of the old-time lifestyle. The man has grey hair on the head, correctly defining his age. He must have taken some good time in existence. Behind him is a bird, calm and undisturbed. The bird gets painted in maroon colouration—also, broken stones lying on the foreground. The papers being held by the man are white. The choice of the oil colouring that perfected the natural skin colour of the man was an…

 preparing the earthing design calculation for a substation Solution: To determine the right calculation, we conducted the soil investigation test by SEC approved testing company and determined the soil electrical resistivity. According to SEC Technical specification TES-P-119.10 and guidelines given in IEEE standard 80-2000 specifications, the required system fault current was 40kA. I was required to use the soft, drawn bare copper conductor. After inputting all the data, the soil resistivity came as 34.36 Ohm-m. The next step was to determine the size of the copper conductor and the number of electrodes. By using Eq.40 IEEE80, I decided that the cross-sectional required was 142.06sqmm, the therefore standard size of the conductor selected of 240sqmm with a diameter of 17.20mm. I determined touch voltage (tolerable) by using Eq.32 IEEE80, which came as 477.86V. I had to calculate the actual touch voltage for a safe grid design, which came as 468V. I did some paper calculations to find a way to bring resistance to less than 1 Ω. By using a spacing of 4.5m ground resistance was calculated by using Eq.52 IEEE80,…
