Helvetica is all around us and it's like oxygen, you have no choice but to take it in. . The appeal for a
clean, professional, and timeless typeface is undeniable. From Fortune 500 logos, to local street
signs, Helvetica holds the spot for most widely used font choice to designers and amateur designers
alike. What made Helvetica so popular and, why, over 50 years later, does it still retain its
popularity? Why does Helvetica work equally effective for both a letter of termination and on the

The foundations of the International Typographic Style can be traced to two art schools, the Zurich
School of the Applied Arts and the School of Design in Basel, who taught a curriculum in which
form follows function.
The 1950s saw a boom of the International style when it was epitomized with the creation of several
new san–serif type families. The geometric fonts on the 1920s and 30s was rejected in favor of
designs inspired by Akzidenz Grotesk fonts. Two fonts would soon take the world by storm. In 1954
a Swiss designer working in Paris by the name of Adrian Frutiger created a family of 21 san–serif
fonts which he named, Univers. At the same time, back in Switzerland Edouard Hoffman of the
Haas type foundry in Switzerland felt that the Akzidenz Grtotesk fonts should be refined and
upgraded. Hoffman had been waiting for the right moment to release a new typeface and in 1956 he
contacted Max Miedinger, who had worked with him at Haas and had since branched out as a
freelance consultant and designer to help create the new typeface for Haas. Hamburgers. No, not the
food, the word. Miedinger began to create a new typeface by working out the letters in the word,

5. An Analysis Of Suicide Note By Janice Mirikitani
The term Asian American refers to an extremely diverse group of people, with varying cultures,
histories, views of mental illness, and views of suicide. It has been estimated that almost 50 distinct
Asian American ethnic groups speaking 30 different languages reside in the United States alone,"
(Hapa). Many Asian Americans are very traditional family's "Asian Americans are more likely than
other Americans to value "marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success" (Saw) . The poem

by jumping out of her dormitory window in college. Later someone in the poem finds a suicide note

A lot of children that come from an Asian culture background a prefer to die then to have a bad
grade in school. The thinking of suicide comes from "The pressure to succeed and the shame that
results from the failure to do so, which are associated with psychological distress and suicide, have
been documented among youth in Asian countries, such as Sri Lanka, China and Japan" (Saw).
Furth more this example shows us that many Asian American culture hate to seea family member
bring shame to their family and would rather them to not fail in life but to always succeed. In the
poem Suicide Note the main character explains in her Note that she is "not smart enough" (Kirszner
l.3) The main character feels that she is not smart in enough in school. In a summary before the
poem the author explains that "Her suicide note contained an apology to her parents for having
received less than a perfect four–point grade average" (Kirszner 683). This example shows that the
main character had to have a great grade in school if not she would not feel content with herself.
Education is one of the most important goals in a life of an Asian American citizen and if not
accomplished very well could result in Depression or even Suicide. Janice Mirkikitnia poem Suicide

9. Asymmetricistic Impact On Graphic Design
THE IMPACT OF THE INTERNATIONAL TYPOGRAPHIC STYLE ON WEB DESIGN
INTRODUCTION The International Typographic Style, or Swiss Style, invokes to the graphic
design movement that emerged in Switzerland during the 1950s, after the Second World War, in a
particular social, economical and industrial context.
Through emphasizing clarity of information, the International Style is characterized by a range of
specific visual hallmarks. This movement is especially marked by the creation and use of grids and
sans–serif typefaces.
Admired for its simple, clean, factual, neutral and highly mathematical structured approach to
organizing and presenting information, it became a new revolution in the world of graphic design
and especially in web design. Indeed, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It serves as a framework for designers to organize their information and make it clear. Inspired by
the Constructivism approach, Swiss designers preferred asymmetrical layouts and used the grid as
an organization tool to provide an overall orderly and unified structure.
The grid serves as an armature on which designers can organize text and images in a rational, easy
to absorb manner.
– The use of photography is another important characteristic of this movement. Swiss designers
were influenced by the modernist idea in which photography was a better tool to show reality than
drawings and illustrations.
– Keeping white spaces is essential for Swiss designers because it helps to perceive the different
groups of the content. In a format, the right amount of white spaces at the good places can create a
first good impression and can motivate visitors to read through the web page. So, white spaces are
important for a good design and the Swiss style design lays a lot of emphasis on it. This style
promotes the use of big white spaces between texts to differentiate them and to give a boost to the
whole design. It also suggests the use of white spaces between images to improve the look of the

While CRELUZ does generate a profit every year, members of the co–op decide how this revenue is
spent. Most of the money is reinvested in new projects or main– tenance for existing ones. This
reinvestment has a direct positive impact on the community members it serves and is a plausible
model for future endeavors in providing ac– cessible, cheap hydroelectricity.
All of these projects are designed to have low environ– mental impacts and be sustainable and easy
to maintain. Since they are mini–hydro projects, large head heights (and thus large dams) are not
required [9]. Most of these 6 turbine projects favor weirs over dams which cause much less damage
to both the river and the surround– ing wildlife and fish population. An example of one of these
small, low impact dams can be seen in FIG. 1. The design of these system also includes many
failsafes to help aid in environmental protection. Like many small hydro plants, CRELUZ's projects
include fish passes and flood controls [6].

Adrian Frutiger is undeniably one of the most Influential typeface designers of the 20th century
even in the world of digital typeface. During the 50 years of his professional management, he has
designed over 30 typefaces. He has also worked for IBM and type manufacturing companies such as
Linotype and Westiform. His Univers and Frutiger typefaces in the world of visual communication
and typography are among the most renowned works of design. Adrian Frutiger was born in 1928 in
Interlaken, a town near the Swiss Alps. He learned various handwriting methods in his youth and
since then, with his father's recommendation, became interested in print and sculpture to such an
extent that years later he stated that recognizing different angles in sculpture has greatly helped him
in designing various letterforms. In regards to his interest in type, Adrian Frutiger says, "Everything
started from the day when I visited a German typesetter. I saw how he placed letters upside down
next to each other with unparalleled skill and that how one can express his knowledge with twenty–
six letters. In different Latin languages one can speak about everything, legible to all. That's how I
wrote my first sentence by the method Gutenberg had invented whom I had not even heard of in

Corporate Identity: FedEx Bold colors, bold font, and simplistic design. This logo fly's around town
and its tag line rings so clearly in my mind "the world on time" whether it be the truck arriving at
your house to deliver a much anticipated package, or being warehouse personnel watching a truck
marked with the bold graphic speed off with a sense of urgency, its graphic is iconic and could be
recognized at a glance. Formerly known as Federal Express when the company began, it is
remarkable that unlike so many other large companies, FedEx has only rebranded it's self once since
its birth.
The concept of Federal Express was born in 1965, when founder Fred Smith wrote a paper outlining

We had the 13th Class yesterday for the bilingual course "Essentials of the Learning Sciences", and
the topic of this week was about "Problem Based Learning (PBL)". We were the discussion group,
and it was the last time for our group to play the teacher roles in this bilingual course. Before the
class, I made a tremendous effort in preparation for the class; reading the Chapter 15 of the
CHLSv2, and searching for some definitions of some vocabularies. As results of the lack knowledge
in this chapter I tried to find other primary resources related to the topics, I found more than ten
books about PBL and many papers related to the learning theories in PBL context, so I learn a lot
from other resources rather from the chapter 15. In addition, we were working collaboratively, we
met many times discussed our work, I provided some feedback and they appreciate during the
designing process. That is a good itself to learn and interact with others across the cultures; we are
applying some knowledge in an actual situation. What has happened in the class? Miss GAO
Qian started our class by going over last week's homework, then she started introducing the first part
of the chapter 15 which was about the definition and the two examples of PBL. Second, I introduced

Traditionally, the American diet has been defined by meat, potatoes, and white bread. As of late,
Americans are gaining awareness about the importance of a diet that is more nutritious than meat
and potatoes. This is partly due to highly publicized information on foods that claim to be beneficial
to our overall health. Articles and news reports let us know about the most current study on diet and
how it relates to athletic ability, mental acuity and general well–being. Another area that has

Before we can begin the journey of disease prevention, we must ask, "How did we get to this
point?"
Dietary History in America
To get an idea about how the cancer rates in America correlate with eating patterns, I will give a
little history of dietary habits. Traditionally, food was an integral part of life. Life revolved around
food because life revolved around survival. (Cancer, 7) Before the Industrial Revolution, local
resources had to be relied upon for sustenance. There were no major highways for transporting food
and other goods. This meant that most homesteads were self–sustainable. Farming was done to
provide food for the members of the family and the farm animals. Most meals were prepared on a
daily basis from scratch because there were very few food storage options. (Cancer, 11)
The types of food that were eaten during the 1800 's were rather simple. Vegetables and grains were
the basis for each meal because they could easily be grown by each family. Meat and other animal
products were rarely eaten because it was too expensive to raise animals for meat. Animals were
needed to help with farming tasks. The idea of using farm space to grow food for animals so that the
animals could then be eaten was seen as wasteful. This is part of the reason that meat was associated
with wealth. Those who had more than enough could afford to use some of their land to raise
animals for meat. (Macrobiotic, 25)
42. Body Surface Are A Comparison Of Different Methods
Reflection: Comparison of methods I chose two methods during this investigation to find my surface
area; one of them was using the body parts as shapes, which was useful as I was able to rely on
already made formulas to find the surface area of my skin. The other method was to use tight clothes
that fit my body tightly, that way I could measure the height x width of the cloth. I was able to find
my body surface area from these methods quite easily. I would say the easiest one to perform was
the 1st method, which was using body parts as shapes, I say this because it was easier to use
formulas of different types of shapes, and the results would be closer to my actual body surface area,
since I was able to use shapes that looked like my body parts. On the other hand using clothes was
not a bad option as it gave a more general surface area, compared to the other method. Altogether,
the only downside that both methods have is that there is room to be a bit more accurate. For
example, I could have used different shapes that are more related to the specific body part, which
could have given in total an accurate body surface area. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The first answer was 1.9 m2 while the other is 1.5 m2. That is 0.4 m2 difference from these two

ces constantes cristallisées dans le livre imprimé. Avec le texte numérique, l'écran devient l'unique
lieu d'interaction avec l'œuvre. De nouveaux repères sont construits par le lecteur pour identifier
l'œuvre, se repérer dans son parcours, mémoriser des passages importants et des expériences
spécifiques. Mauger, Poliak & Pudal (1995) affirment que «La notion même de texte vient à éclater.
Ce n'est plus le livre papier qui propose un texte, son propre texte, construite à travers plusieurs
pages au lecteur, mais le lecteur lui–même qui compose un texte, son propre texte, à travers sa
manière de parcourir l'espace que lui offre le numérique. »
Aujourd'hui, cette numérisation a donné au livre ou l'œuvre une nouvelle vie même s'il est ancien. Il

(An analysis of the use of stoicism in Marcus Aurelius's, "Meditations") Stoicism is defined in
Greek school of Philosophy as teaching that "virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge, and
that the wise live in harmony with divine reason that governs nature, and are indifferent to the
vicissitudes of fortune and to pleasure and pain." (Oxford). Virtue is a trait sought after by many in
today's society. It is also a trait that millions upon millions of people choose to ignore. It all depends
on what is important or unimportant to that particular person. To have virtue is an honor, and
something that one cannot give to another. Those that are wise know that virtue, or justice, is an

Naturally, horrible and crude things might happen to certain people. These things should be
expected and even anticipated. Nonetheless, the world goes about in its own way, and men must
reciprocate this natural idea. Men are more than capable of knowing the difference between an
action that is just and one that is unjust.
Individual freedom and control is also given very much emphasis in regards to stoicism in Marcus
Aurelius's, "Meditations". This idea is self–explanatory; men have control over themselves and have
the power to direct their thoughts and views. "You have power over your mind – not outside events.
Realize this, and you will find strength." (Meditations). As men are able to control their own
thoughts, they can start focusing in on things that truly matter. They can focus on more virtuous
things. Philosophers have learned to control their minds and see truths that others in the world are
hidden from. If these philosophers can find a way to share this information with as many people as
possible, then they will have achieved their ultimate goal. These philosophers are usually the ones to
be leaders of a nation. They are chosen to lead because of their understanding of how to help
everybody live together in harmony and unity. As strong philosophers develop sturdy governments,

2.5
High–voltage switching
A fundamental component of this microelectrode driver is a high–voltage switch and it is necessary
to characterize the implemented switch for different stimulation current levels. An analog CMOS
switch can be an n–type or p–type MOSFET which is operated either in cut–off (OFF state) or
ohmic region
(ON state). The switch can be characterized by a fixed linear transconductance, gds , which is
strongly signal–dependent and expressed according to Eq. 8 [37] where, μn and μp are electron and
hole mobility respectively in two types of transistors, Cox is the gate–oxide capacitance, W n and W
p are the dimensions of transistors, VDD is the power supply
L
L voltage, and Vin is the input signal. The bulk of NMOS and PMOS transistors are connected to the
highest potential, VDD and the lowest potential, VSS respectively. The limitations are that the
maximum voltage an NMOS and the minimum voltage a PMOS can pass are [VDD − Vthn ] and
|Vthp | respectively.
This drawback can be overcome using CMOS transmission gate (TG) which exhibits lower overall
transconductance. Another advantage of using TG based switch is that it passes good '1' (or logic
level high) and good '0' (logic level low) without any threshold voltage drop, or in other words, TG
gate switch allows rail–to–rail swings. The transconductance of TG gate switch is expressed by the

cultivation. Kerouac was ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Kerouac was a devoted student of the Buddhist way and would often impress his peers with his
knowledge of the Sutras and other Buddhist texts and ideas. This is particularly interesting when it
is considered that these peers were other students of Buddhism such as Gary Snyder or even Philip
Whalen, who is an ordained Zen monk. In fact, Kerouac was so immersed in Buddhist thought that
in 1956 he completed the manuscript to what would become a 420 page book titled Some Of The
Dharma, which was a collection of notes and thoughts on various ideas taken from the Sutras.
Included also were numerous poems and prose poems, which were attempts to transliterate the
ancient wisdom of Buddhism into a modern context, applicable to the western intellectual and
spiritual journeyman. Some of the Dharma was to be a study guide for the beginning practice of
Kerouac’s good friend and companion Allen Ginsberg.
While Kerouac was writing what was perhaps his best and certainly one of his most spiritually
driven novels, Desolation Angels, he was also writing a poem to accompany the novel which was
titled Desolation Blues. Although written after Kerouac was no longer up on Desolation Peak
serving as a fire lookout in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, it was a reflection upon the many
contemplations provoked by the solitude and serenity of the time he spent alone atop the mountain.

as well. So the synthesis is that all knowledge comes from the combination of conepts and intuitions
(reason and sensory perceptions), without reason we would have no lens to perceive what the
nominal wourld is telling us, and without senses we would have no way of understanding what our
reason is telling us. But even with this we need to remember that the best that we can do is perceive
what is, but that does not determine what something is, the nominal would exists beyond our
perception and is still a mystery. This leaves open room for metaphysics, because God, and our souls
can still exist beyond our plain of sensory, or reason. 2. both Kierkegaard and Marx disagreed with

70. A Career In My Life
Just how I came to Irvine, California, can only be traced to Divine Providence. Originally, I was a
drama major at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois. I had been bitten by the acting
bug after a successful year of speech and drama at McKinley High School in Canton, Ohio.
Although my interests were diverse, I figured that a career in the entertainment field would be a
launching pad into the arena I desired most: world–wide in¬fluence. My stay at Wesleyan was
riddled with disappointment. Here I was an energetic freshman drama major with loads of talent and
optimism, only to find main stage acting was unavailable until our sophomore year. The featured
drama my freshman year was Lillian Hellman's, The Little Foxes. I had ... Show more content on

"Then go to Irvine," she said. Full of adventure, I finished off my sophomore year at Wesleyan, but
not before quitting the Drama School and bringing charges of racism against the department. My
letter to twenty–four Univer¬sity regents caused quite a stir, but was eventually dismissed and I left
in a huff. Getting into the University of California in Irvine took some doing. I fled Wesleyan with a
D grade point average. I withdrew from one class and received an F in two other classes, but
received an A in my speech class. I gave my speech final on "Why I was leaving Wesleyan." Even
though I went fifteen minutes over the speech limit, (and we were warned to never do that in her
class,) the teacher gave me the top grade for my inexorable passion. When my application to UCI
was rejected that summer on the basis of poor grades, I used my usual rhetoric to get my foot in the
door. Then came the million dollar question: "Where are you going to get the money to pay for
tuition?" asked the Dean of Admissions. Armed with a barrage of words, I looked him in the eyes
and questioned how an educational in–stitution could deny any red–blooded American student an
opportunity for higher learning on a technicality like lack of money. I ended with: "Do you want to
see a 4.0?" The Dean of Admissions said that the committee would recon¬sider my application, and

74. Xenophobia In America
Introduction
The large number of people crossing international borders has been well publicized in the twenty
first century, (Marsella & Ring, 2003; Sloan, 2005). Immigration increases have often been
accompanied by negative attitudes toward the migrants (Yakushko, 2009). Immigration has been the
subject of many political debates in countries throughout the world (Munro, 2006; Crush &
Ramachandran, 2010). Xenophobia in the United States and the European Union has been
publicized and recorded, (Smith & Edmonston, 1997;; Pettigrew, 1998, Finzsch & Schirmer, 2002).
This phenomenon is also occurring in Asia, Africa, and Latin America but probably not as well
known. (e.g., Crush, 2001; Vale, 2002).

79. The Influential Typeface Helvetica
The influential typeface Helvetica, a neo–grotesque1 sans serif type design, came into being in the
early 1950s – after the Second World War. The expectation of the designers, Edouard Hoffman and
Max Miedinger was to create a neutral typeface that had great clarity, no intrinsic meaning in its
form and could be used on a wide variety of signage to remake a new identity apart from the past ().
Originally named as Neue Haas Grotesk, the typeface was changed to Helvetica in 1960. Today,
Helvetica, as an aesthetics constant, although not perfect, mastered the quantum leap in 1957 from
metal type to the digital age of word processing. Axel Langer, a curator of Islamic Near Eastern Art,
mentioned it as 'an impersonal typeface for today and tomorrow ().'

The original design was released by Linotype in 1957. Since its launch, the typeface had been
worked on by a variety of designers to adapt it for successive methods of composition, from hot
metal to photocomposition to digital. Given the technical limitations of methods, the character
weights, widths and spacing were inconsistent and compromised.
Neue Helvetica, as the outcome of technological changes, was designed in 1983, represents a
synthesis of aesthetics and technical refinements and modifications that resulted in improved
usefulness: a number of characters were subtly changed to be more consistent and more harmonious
with the overall design characteristics. For instance, the x–height has been adjusted to appear
visually the same in all weights. The x–heights in previous versions were all the same, but since type
tends to look shorter as it gets heavier, the new x–heights compensate for this optical illusion.
Besides, the crossbars on the lowercase 'f' and 't' were widened to increase the legibility in text.
Additionally, the Neue Helvetica family was extended to 51 weights in all, which are many more

designer spanned some 54 years. He began studying at the Kuntsgewerbeschule after training as a
typesetter from 1926 until 1930. He worked at several positions until 1956 when he became a
freelance graphic designer. About a year later, he developed Helvetica in collaboration with Edouard
Hoffman.
The creation made by Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann was originally titled Neue Haas
Grotesk, but this title was changed in 1960 in an attempt to market it internationally. It has been
even more successful since. Helvetica has since grown to be widely used and developed into several

The film Helvetica debuted at the South by Southwest Film Festival in 2007. Since that time, the
discussion based biographical movie has been shown in over 300 cities in 40 countries. Helvetica
looks at the whole picture and describes the impact that typefaces like Helvetica have in our lives
and in urban spaces.
This film not only goes so far as to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the typeface but also goes on to
use Helvetica as a catalyst to a conversation that speaks of graphic design and our society as a
whole, and how it reacts to typography and the visual images we are bombarded with daily.
Neue Helvetica is a reworking of the typeface with a more structurally unified set of heights and
widths. It was developed at D. Stempel AG, a Linotype subsidiary. The studio manager was

Innocence, Compassion, and some ‘Crazy' Cliff A novel, which has gained literary recognition
worldwide, scrutiny to the point of censorship and has established a following among adolescents,
The Catcher in the Rye is in its entirety a unique connotation of the preservation of innocence and
the pursuit of compassion. With certain elegance the writer J.D. Salinger, substantiates the growth
and perils, which lie between childhood and adulthood. Embellishing the differentiation between
innocence and squalor in the grasps of society. The bridge that lies between these contrasting themes

which depicts a dividing point between the evident ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Ramachandra Rao: "First of all, it is a savior image, and shows us the extent of Holden's re–
ligious idealism. Secondly, it crystallizes for us Holden's concept of good and evil; childhood is
good, the only pure good, but it is surrounded by perils, the cliff of adolescence over which the
children will plunge in the evil of adulthood unless stopped. But finally, the image is based on a
mis–understanding. The Burns poem goes ‘If a body meet a body' not ‘if a body catch a body,' and
the fact that Phoebe is aware of this and Holden is not, plus the manner in which these two words
(‘catch' and ‘meet') are re–examined and re–interpreted by Holden at the end of the novel, shows
us in a powerful and deeply suggestive way the center of Holden's diffi–culty." Holden's view
of life as it is and the way life should be is based on a misunder–standing of man's place in society.
Having difficulty coming to grips with this misunder–standing, Holden crosses a threshold. Later he
fatefully comes in contact with his sister once again, at the Central Park carrousel in the final scene
of the novel. At the sight of his sister he is overcome by a love for all people when he sees how

The culture at J. C. Penny before Johnson can be described as inclusive and employee centered. The
organizational culture can perhaps be described as a hierarch culture. A hierarchy culture has an
internal focus and produces more formalized and structured work environment (Kreitner, p. 70). The
founder, James Cash Penny, managed his stores under the philosophy of providing the best customer
service at the best price. He truly believed in giving his customers the best deal possible. The
company continued to thrive under this basic tenant, but started to lose its market share and overall

employees and new leadership. One of the processes that I would have recommended to Johnson at
the beginning of his term with J.C. Penny would be the organizational activities, processes or
outcomes that leaders pay attention to, measure, and control. The behavior of Johnson and his new
management team suggested that they rejected learning about the existing culture at J.C. Penny and
how and why things are done the way they were. To meet the objectives of the board of directors,
the immediate focus was to focus on what he thought the customer wanted...a method that was
proven to be successful at Apple, but failed at J.C. Penny. Had he spent time getting to know his
employees and explained his vision for J.C. Penny, he would have received valuable information on
not just the how, but what why things are done in the manner they are done. Why it was important to
keep the coupons that customers loved to use. Johnson knew the history of James Cash Penny and

In the other words, leaders are born. Their personality makes them become leaders naturally. These
theories also figure out the differences between leaders and non – leaders as well as effective leaders
and ineffective ones in order to measure the leadership within organizations. As a result, leaders are
considered as more intelligent, physically filter, more extroverted, more self – confident than non –
leaders. Furthermore, effective leadership studies show that effective leadership usually depends on
how well the leader's traits fit context's requirements. Although the trait theories have limitations,
they still suggest scholars to consider the personality traits as core component of a leadership.

incivility, sleeping during class, arriving to class late or leaving early, and bold–ly texting during
class are most prevalent. Over the past few years, faculty have seen an increase in class sleepers,
tardy students, and smartphone addicts. University students have a magnitude of different roles in
their lives that they have to juggle all at once. As the saying goes, when it comes to sleep, studying,

L'hypothèse de la conception de l'homme a été longuement un enjeu avant même notre ère. Des
philosophes grecs comme Anaximandre avaient déjà émis une hypothèse concernant l'évolution de
l'homme. C'est au 18e siècle que ce sujet délicat refait surface. Les conceptions de la théorie de
Darwin se sont répandues rapidement au 19e siècle totalement en opposition avec celles de l'Église.
Il nous amène à nous poser la question suivante : « La science constitue–t–elle la seule approche
valable pour expliquer l'origine de l'homme? » Avant tout, je résumerai les propos des deux courants

Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier. Although founded by Modernist architects,
the Bauhaus did not teach architecture during its early years. Instead, Head of the Bauhaus Walter
Gropius, wanted to form a school that encompassed all learnings of art and craft and form a
curriculum that was activity–based and not purely theoretical. Gropius stated in Manifesto and

During this time, industries transitioned from handmade crafting to machine manufacturing.
Industries began manufacturing cheaper copies of handmade luxury goods which ultimately lead to
a loss of need for the arts and crafts. Many designers, including English craftsman William Morris,
developed an anxiety for the loss of craft. Manufacturing and creativity had branched off into two
separate paths. Many attempts were made to reconnect craft with industry at the beginning of the
20th century. The Deutscher Werkbund in Munich was formed in 1907 to showcase designs for
manufactured objects. After the fall of the German Monarchy post World War I, Germany became
more revolutionised. In 1917 the Dutch movement De Stijl was founded. De Stijl was centred on
constructivist design principles. It was from this idea that Gropius decided to build a school which
could attempt to bridge the gap between industry production and crafts. Gropius opened the first
Bauhaus school in Weimar in 1919. Not only had craft reconnected with industry production, but the
Bauhaus sought to revolutionise design. Gropius believed that art schools should unite all fine arts
and crafts in a single location and have all disciplines collaborate with one another. He also hired
specialists in each discipline of the arts to teach and revolutionise modern design.

The adoption of some or all of the macrobiotic principles is one way that each individual can
counteract the negative trend of health and disease. Before we can begin the journey of disease
prevention, we must ask, "How did we get to this point?" Dietary History in America
To get an idea about how the cancer rates in America correlate with eating patterns, I will give a
little history of dietary habits. Traditionally, food was an integral part of life. Life revolved around
food because life revolved around survival. (Cancer, 7) Before the Industrial Revolution, local
resources had to be relied upon for sustenance. There were no major highways for transporting food
and other goods. This meant that most homesteads were self–sustainable. Farming was done to
provide food for the members of the family and the farm animals. Most meals were prepared on a
daily basis from scratch because there were very few food storage options. (Cancer, 11)
The types of food that were eaten during the 1800's were rather simple. Vegetables and grains were
the basis for each meal because they could easily be grown by each family. Meat and other animal
products were rarely eaten because it was too expensive to raise animals for meat. Animals were
needed to help with farming tasks. The idea of using farm space to grow food for animals so that the
animals could then be eaten was seen as wasteful. This is part of the reason that meat was associated
with wealth. Those who had

143. Definition Of Binge Drink
The legal definition of binge drink is getting to the point of legally intoxication within 2 hours of
consumption of the first beverage. Normally, this takes around 5 drinks for a man and for drinks for
a woman. A "drink" , in terms of alcohol, is legally defined as equal to 14.0 grams (0.6 ounces) of
pure alcohol. Generally, this amount of pure alcohol is found in 12–ounces of beer (5% alcohol
content). 8–ounces of malt liquor (7% alcohol content). 5–ounces of wine (12% alcohol content).
1.5–ounces or a "shot" of 80–proof (40% alcohol content) distilled spirits or liquor (e.g., gin, rum,
vodka, whiskey). This doesn't necessarily mean the individual is an alcoholic many binge drinkers
only drink heavily, three or four times a month. This by defection, does not make them and are not a
daily dependent. around 92% of binge drinkers are actually adults over the age of 26. Well this only
accounts for 8% of the population of binge drinkers actually being enrolled in college. For students,
binge drinking is thought to make up almost half of students regularly drink either in or off campus.

151. China Is Making A $ 250 Billion A Year Investment Essay
In 2014, about 7.26 million new Chinese undergraduates were produced, which is more than 7 times
the number 15 years ago (Sharma, 2014, p.2). Besides, "China is making a $250 billion–a–year
investment in what economists call human capital" ( Brandisher, 2013, p. 1). Specifically, the
Chinese government has spent a huge amount of money and energy in expanding higher education
to improve the current system, and to provide a broadly educated public. However, the alarming rise
in the number of new undergraduates has sparked a hot debate –– will the effort pay off ? Many
researchers argue that these investment has led to undergraduates boom directly, and has resulted in
high unemployment among new undergraduates. For illustration, the unemployment rate among
Chinese new undergraduates six months after leaving university is officially around 15%" (Sharma,
2014, p.2). After witnessed such cruel fact, the whole society even some scholars has started to
blame the government. Admittedly, the government should take some responsibilities for the boom.
However, the number of undergraduates was constantly increasing before these investments, and
education is more than just policies. Education is closely connected to cultures as well, so many
other cultural factors may also impact on people's choices. Hence, it is unfair for the government to
take all the responsibilities for the undergraduates boom, and it is vital to find all the causes and
correct them. Comprehensively, the

155. Ray Laramie Biography
I decided to do my paper on Ray Larabie who is known for his shareware/freeware fonts and is one
of the biggest contributors to digital typography. He is a Canadian open and true type font designer
born in 1970 currently living in Japan. He tends to specialize in sans serif fonts which are good for
use in desktop publishing and graphic design titles/headlines rather than body text. His fonts have
been used in several high profile projects such as Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne and the Price is
Right. Between the years 1996 and 2001 Ray created 250 free font families which were released on
his web site. Then in 2001 he started the Typodermic Fonts Company and continues to update and
expand the original Larabie Fonts family. His fonts and style is very diverse and different. When
Ray was five and living near Ottawa his grandmother brought him stacks of specialized lettering
sheets of Helvetica, Clarendon, Franklin Gothic, Futura and Univers. He got to know these fonts and
began to recognize them in the environment. He received a computer in the early 80s and he started
making bitmap fonts. Ray believes that at first he didn't have as much of an eye for type designs as
he thought he did. He considered going back to school but realized how much he didn't like school.
What helped him ultimately was someone telling him about his overshoots. He wasn't aware he'd
even been making overshoots but he wasn't uncomfortable with the scrutiny because he never
