The engraving is not a drawing transferred onto wood, metal or stone; it is conceived in consideration of the material which is used to make it, its nature, resources and potentialities; this is the essential starting point for achieving a style. Because it is on the matrix and not on the paper that the artist puts his creative stamp, which will be revealed in the finished print
The Romans, in their wisdom, were the first people to use a structure to give plants protection.
They used heated pits covered with translucent slabs of rock to form primitive greenhouses.
It was, however in the days of the great explorers that the glasshouse (to give it its correct name) came into its own in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Strange exotic plants and seeds were being bought back to this country, from far distant lands.
Although Cognitive Science is a relatively new field at the forefront of the information technology explosion, many of the problems it looks at have been around for over 2000 years since the time of great philosophers and scientists like Confucius and Aristotle. What is the nature of thought? How do we reason? What is consciousness? How do we learn and use language? Do one person's words mean the same as another's? If so, how? If not, then how do we understand each other? How do we recognize shapes and faces?
The global Internet's progenitor was the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) of the U.S. Department of Defense. This is an important fact to remember, because the support and style of management by ARPA was crucial to the success of ARPANET. As the Internet develops and the struggle over the role the Internet plays unfolds, it will be important to remember how the network developed and the culture that it was connected with. (As a facilitator of communication, the culture of the Net is an important feature to acknowledge.)
The dictionary defines an adhesive as "a substance capable of holding materials together by surface attachment." This is a simple definition for a material that is the basis for a multi-billion dollar industry with more that 750 companies competing for a share of the market. It is estimated that 50 of those companies are responsible for 50% of the sales dollars in the adhesive industry
What is a podiatry?
Podiatry is the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the lower leg and foot.
What can a podiatrist expect to do in a day's work?
In private practice a podiatrist could expect to see a wide variety of foot disorders from patients as young as 9 months to people 109 years old. The majority of work involves seniors and the treatment of corns, callous and problems associated with arthritis are commonplace. Young patients present often with developmental abnormalities in walking or acute infections such as ingrown toe nails or fungal infections such as Athlete's Foot. Healthy outgoing people also present with sports' or overuse injuries including weak ankles, foot fatigue and swollen painful feet. The effects of systemic diseases and the aging process often lead to foot and leg related symptoms which the podiatrist can help with prescribed treatment and advice.

A walk through any village cemetery or a search of old public records will reveal a sometimes-overlooked, yet quite astonishing fact -- in barely fifty years, human longevity worldwide has increased by more than 40%. The average life expectancy at birth has risen from around 46 years in the early 1950s to almost 65 years by 1996. This most important international public health achievement of the past half-century is a triumph for humanity. The World Health Organization (WHO) has played a vital, though often unobtrusive, role in this accomplishment.
