Cranes have contributed to the rise of civilization for many years in the construction industry. The ancient Greeks invented the first crane sometime in the sixth century as a tool to lift massive loads. According to Chiu (42), such evidence that points to the use of cranes by the Greeks can be found on distinct holes that are visible on stones, which indicate the use of a form of lifting mechanism. Back in those days, the basic features of the crane included an elongated wooden beam, which was attached to a rotating base and a rope attached around a drum that was driven by a ...

Tall buildings have captured the imagination of people throughout history. In the Old Testament, the Tower of Babel builders admonished the people to build a city and a tower “with its top in the heavens And let us make a name for ourselves” (Glaeser, 2011). The height of the tower signified success and power. It showed recognition. Tall structures also date back to the obelisks of ancient Egypt. Western city builders ...

I know that it is unusual for someone my age to have a “bucket list”. But there are so many things to see out there in the world that I felt I should write these goals down early on to give myself incentive to seek and discover my passions.

As a youngster, we always built things from odd items around the house. Paper towers were my specialty. So when I heard about the Eiffel Tower, I was very intrigued. I wondered why someone would build something so big, but so non functional. I wondered who paid for it. And how could ...

I. Introduction
Nevertheless, these tall buildings and all other structures with peculiar architectural designs require extensive engineering. Otherwise, every aspect of the construction will not fulfill the desired outcome. Consequently, construction planning also needs to be laid properly. From the very concept of the engineering, to laying it out on a number of drawing sheets, to putting it into Computer-Aided Design databases, and to implementing those designs into the actual construction of the building structure – the entire plan should have definite collaboration and should be well-detailed. Moreover, there is a need for assurance that the whole plan fits ...

Introduction to Philosophy

Some scientists and philosophers, without some of the theories proposed by John Locke, the later developments by Marx would have been non-existent. According to the liberal view, the state has a minimal role in directing the society and economic affairs. Classical liberalism favors a minimal state that only provides basic societal needs such as enforcing contracts, defense, and protection of property. On the contrary, social liberals recognize even more roles of the state, especially in the economic front. For instance, according to these social liberals, the state regulates capitalism as a measure of consumer and employee protection. It also provides welfare programs ...

Introduction Begun with the cathedral complex at Pisa and expanded upon in the Basilica of San Marco in Venice, Italian architects of the 11th century were not only able to glorify their own Christian God and saints, but also asserted their dominance over eastern ‘heretics’ through the adaptation and outright theft of eastern architectural influences. These influences can be seen in everything from the bulbous form of the domes to the minor adornments of the cathedrals. The earliest Italian architects were priest and monks who used skilled craftsmen to carry out their ideas of communal Christian living. Italian buildings ...

Abstract

In our increasingly dependent age, older technologies are slowly but surely being phased out. We stand to forget their use, their evolution as well as their contribution to our own evolution as mankind. One such technology is the printing press. To move forward, we must pause to reflect on the past, appreciate it and ultimately learn from it. The printing press has evolved from a simple, rudimentary letter press in China to the revolutionary Gutenberg’s press that made the Bible the most published book of that time to the modern technology of offset lithography. It has played a fundamental role ...

The United States has experienced the wrath of terrorism in several instances. Some of the attacks appear in the American lands or soils while others target barracks or embassies containing soldiers from US (McCann, 2006). When the systematic studies behind terrorism started in 1970’s, some researchers believed that terrorism, in the US, was more or less a cartel of left-wing groups, such as, German Red Army Italian Red Brigade, and Latin American groups. What remained clear to most philosophers and theologians, however, was that terrorism was an act of violation against human justice and the law of God (Combs ...
