The Fire Of London : The Great Fire Of London
A single oven fire from a bakery shop would change the city of London for years to come. This fire
grew very quickly and destroyed a lot of the city of London in record time. This incident happening
helped to set a firm design on new fire codes and helped to build the British fire service. This simple
accident caused one of England's largest fires and resulted in important changes in fire fighting
techniques ("The Great Fire Of London"). The great fire of London started on September 2 ,1666
and was extinguished September 5 ,1666. The fire was said to have started by a spark that fell from
the oven of King II's baker. Once it turned the bakery shop into an inferno it allowed for the fire to
spread from house to house which destroyed more than ⅘ ths of London within a 3 day period
which made it a very destructive fire ("Building Construction") The reason the fire gained so much
growth so quickly is that these houses were tinderboxes and would not take much for these houses
to go up into flames. The building construction of these houses was made from oak. Poorer houses
were covered in tar to keep out the rain but , tar is a very flammable material which also holds in
heat. Another reason that these houses were flammable was that they were tightly packed and were
very close together. Also the flames from the blaze were fanned by a steady wind which helped in
spreading the fire through the city. Since the warehouses were packed with combustible materials ,
the fire gained

The Question Of Being Is The Darkest Of All Philosophy
The question of being is the darkest in all philosophy." So concluded William James in thinking
about that most basic of riddles: how did something come from nothing? The question infuriates,
James realized, because it demands an explanation while denying the very possibility of
explanation. "From nothing to being there is no logical bridge," he wrote. In science, explanations
are built of cause and effect. But if nothing is truly nothing, it lacks the power to cause. It's not
simply that we can't find the right explanation–it's that explanation itselffails in the face of nothing.
This failure hits us where it hurts. We are a narrative species. Our most basic understanding comes
through stories, and how something came from nothing is the ... Show more content on

The ancient Greeks suggested that empty space is filled with substance–a plenum, an ether. Aristotle
conceived of the ether as an unchanging fifth element, more perfect and heavenly in its invariance
than earth, air, fire, or water. True nothingness was at odds with Aristotle's physics, which said that
bodies rise up or fall down as dictated by their rightful place in the natural order of things.
Nothingness, however, would be perfectly symmetric–it would look the same from every angle–
rendering absolute spatial directions like "up" and "down" utterly meaningless. An ether, Aristotle
figured, could serve as a kind of cosmic compass, an ultimate reference frame against which all
motion could be measured. For those who abhorred a vacuum, the ether banished every last trace of
it. The ancient ether stuck around for millennia until it was re–imagined in the late 19th century by
physicists like James Clerk Maxwell, who discovered that light behaves as a wave that always
travels at a particular speed. What was waving, and speed relative to what? The ether was a handy
answer, providing both a medium for light waves to travel through, and, as Aristotle originally
imagined, a reference frame against which all

The Great Fire Of London
17th Century Blaze
Beginning on September 2, 1666, a monstrous inferno incinerated nearly eighty–percent of London
within four days. This calamity caused thousands of frightened people to become homeless. The
Great Fire of London portrays the harsh reality of a devastating catastrophe: the burning of an entire
city and the steps taken towards the recreation of a thriving empire.
The Great Fire of London began in the primordial hours of the morning in the house of King Charles
II's baker on Pudding Lane adjacent to the London Bridge ("Great Fire of..." 1). Tomas Farynor, the
King's baker, was the man believed to have been the fuel source of the catastrophe. The maid's

This decreased the fatalities that were caused by the horrific disease("The Great Fire..." 2). It was
not an uncommon occurrence for these fires to happen in London. The lack of fire safety became
detrimental to the security throughout the city. The London Bridge was the only structure not
destroyed by the inferno. A prior fire of 1633 to The Great Fire of London cleared a path at its North
end that halted the fire in 1666. Many buildings perished, though the London Bridge survived.
Churches that were made of stone were not completely destroyed and now are seen as smoking ruins
(Schofield 1). The people of the town did not have much to remember even after attempts were
made to control the fire.
Numerous tactics were deployed to contain the flames. A common procedure to stop the spreading
fire was to destroy the households where the path of the flame was coming, creating "fire breaks".
By the time these demolitions were ordered, the fire had already spread throughout the town. Mayor
Bludworth hesitated to take these precautions due to his concern about the financial repercussions
the city would be left to fund ("The Great Fire ..." 1). If Bludworth had taken these precautions, the
city may have never encountered this treacherous fire. The lack of this certain procedure was put
aside and caused the Great Fire of London to be one of the biggest tragedies in

A Short Story Of Arcia
Winter was here. Snow fell from the sky in waves, spraying the town with whiteness. Ice patches
formed on sidewalks, causing pedestrians to slip and fall when they weren't careful enough. Cold
winds tore at everyone's skin, and the sky was a bleak plaster–white. Men, women, and children
alike all avoided the wintry weather as much as they could – in houses, in cars, and even in bus
stops. But for the students at Crosby Heights, they were going through something entirely different.
As much as they loved winter in all its pleasure, they didn't spend their recesses crafting snow forts
or tossing snowballs. 42 of them in particular had something else on their minds, and it had nothing

Celena shoved him aside and took the device from him. She rapped on it a few times, and eyed the
keyhole of the device closely, careful not to touch the blue lasers on it. She faced the others with a

else." Nathan held his lasagna lunch (this was the first time he got one) tightly and shivered. "Can
we go inside?" he pleaded. "I don't want my lunch to freeze." They trudged through the tall dunes of

Energy:
The Shard uses a CHP (combined heat and power) plant, which provides 1.131MW of electricity
and 1.199MW of hot water at high efficiency to the surrounding area. The CHP system utilises
waste heat for heating and hot water. This system reduces carbon emissions and also contributes to
low carbon footprint of building. The Shards consumption will be more than 30% less than other
comparable buildings. There are significant cost savings for CHP versus separate purchase of
electricity and gas from national grid. This is an imperative factor, as for running such a large and
dominant building in the City of London it is essential that costs are kept to minimum to avoid
corruption. It is also recognisably a more healthy and efficient option for the environment.
(Image: Diagram of Power Plant & Combined Heat and Power Efficiency, Ref:
http://www.in.gov/oed/2414.htm)
The need for air–conditioning in the Shard to eliminate an excessively heated environment from
solar energy is removed by computer–controlled blinds. As extra white glass is used the G value is
0.55, meaning 55% of the solar heat gets transmitted inside the building. This isn't appropriate for
the public as they'll suffer from the heat. However, with the blinds down there is 5% light
transmittance and thus the G value drops to only 0.12, which reduces solar

I Am A My Project On Architecture
For my final photojournalism project I decided to take pictures of really tall buildings in London
such as the Shard. For a while I wasn't sure what I was going to do my project on and I was thinking
about doing it on the process of opening and closing a local shop like Paul's. I wasn't really that
motivated by that topic so I soon forgot about it. The idea to do my project on architecture came
from my visit to the London Eye. When I was there I realized how vast and large London was and
how many buildings occupied it. I was amazed how tall and massive some of the buildings were and
a couple of them in particular stood out to me. After my visit there I decided I would pick one
famous building in London to photograph and then add other pictures to my project that were less
known, but equally as interesting looking buildings. I wanted to try and photograph the buildings
from the ground up to really try and capture how big they actually were. I also didn't want to shoot
the buildings directly head on. I wanted my pictures to be of interesting angles of the buildings. I
decided that in order to capture the look I wanted for these photographs I had to use a different lens.
I used a zoom lens that helped me focus in on the top of the buildings and make the image appear a
lot clearer. Additionally, I placed the camera really low to the ground and angled the camera directly
up and down to get the style that I wanted. When I looked at these pictures on my camera I was
amazed how

Ghost Stories on Anti- Government Demonstrations
Peter Pocket who was very charismatic stood on his soap box in Hyde Park Corner, in Old London
Town, Great Britannia and giving anti government speeches. The land was now in financial ruin and
there was unrest everywhere thanks to the government led by Premier Blabberon. Under
Blabberon's tenure, the majority of the populace felt the full impact of the government's austerity
measures. People were loosing what they once believed to be secure jobs and they were left
homeless and destitute. It had taken a considerable period of time before people realised what the
government's true intentions were. What riled them most was the bedroom tax that they were forced
to pay on any unoccupied bedrooms. This as the reader would imagine led to far greater hardship.
Peter travelled throughout British Isles to garner support for the biggest anti government
demonstration in the history of the land. He declared that there would be unrest and civil
disobedience until the government relented. Premier Blabbleron was unprepared he and his cabinet
ministers became increasingly alarmed. On the eve of the great march. Peter was run over by a hit
and run driver and killed instantly. An outcry followed. Many people were convinced that he had
been assassinated and were determined to seek justice. *** Premier Blabbleron and the Chancellor
of the Exchequer Frogspawn were both medium height and slimy and had gelled hair. Deputy Dregg
was a similar height and had short cropped hair. Ivan Dunking

Taking a Look at the Shard
The view at the top of the Shard is breath–taking. London is seen all around you like a moving
tapestry. The View, which is situated on floors 68, 69 and 72 of the Shard, is twice the height of any
other platform in London. It has been London's long awaited attraction where people enjoy 360
degree views for up to 40 miles. Our sense of vision in this day and age is key to understanding and
acknowledging everything around us. In architecture the idea of uniqueness is taken from the use of
light and vision expressed. Architecture is mainly made us of glass and other materials to support it.
Natural light within open interior spaces being illuminated and divisions dependent on light and
transparency are vital part of modern architect influence. Piano says, 'I have spoken of immaterial
elements. These are such things as light, transparency, vibration, texture and color, elements that
interact with the form of the space but are not just a function of it. I started out, in an ingenious,
even rather primitive way, from lightness'. Piano's concept of layering light and transparency is
compliant to do many things all at once. To bring forward a certain architectural look, light is a
general principle and vision is involved. Building with a lot of material teaches you to shape
components and replace toughness with adjustability. Piano describes that taking things away from
the material is also removing opacity from material. That lightness is an instrument and transparency
is a

any delay in them will lead to the whole project being delayed. Project Duration The project
commences on the Monday June 2nd 2008, and finishes on Friday January 14th 2011, which means

As bad weather will affect the running time of the project, the PM could build a temporary shelter
over the section of the stadium being worked on at one time. Therefore the construction team can
carry on working in any weather which could overcome the delay. This is a common problem for
projects in England for example work to widen a bridge on the M1 was delayed due to cold weather
as "low temperatures brought work to a halt" (BBC News, 21.3.08). The shelter will cost money and
time to put up and the PM will have to assess whether this option would be worthwhile, and even
possible, for the completion of the project. Related to this point is the option that the PM could re–
negotiate the terms of the penalty imposed on West Construction. For example if the penalty is
caused by something out of the team's control e.g. bad weather then the penalty should be reduced
or shared between West Construction and Nottingham Rugby Football Club. Also in terms of the
'time' aspect of the project the PM could shift resources e.g. people, equipment, etc, from non–
critical to critical activities i.e. the critical path. It is frequently required to re–estimate the duration
and staffing requirements of the critical path as the project progresses and changes occur (Kumar,
2005). The non–critical activities could then be allowed to consume their slack which will not affect

THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON OF 1666
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON OF 1666 The Great Fire of London of 1666 that was started by
Thomas Farrinor's bakery caused the destruction of 80 percent of London and led to the creation of
insurance and firefighting companies. The fire marked a time of rebirth for the British capital since
the city had to rebuild entirely. The fire was quite an interesting event owing the fact that it caused
such an extreme amount of destruction and took the lives of only six people. Londoners remember
the seventeenth century as a time of desolation, but the events that occurred have impacted the
world today. With the creation of insurance and firefighting, not only are people protected, but their
property also. As a rule, builders in seventeenth–century ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Farrinor immediately ran upstairs and when he reached the top, he saw flames, but the flames were
not near his ovens, or even close to a pile of wood near the ovens (Shields 80–81). The family then
searched for an escape route out of the house (Alagna 4). Unable to exit downstairs due to a blocked
path, the Farrinor family fled to the roof. The family begged their maid to follow them but she was
more afraid of heights than the fire. She stayed in the house and was the first person to die in the
Great Fire. The family, however, continued across rooftops until they were safe from the fire
(Shields 81). Subsequently, the flames were halfway across London Bridge soon after the fire was
started. Two groups of buildings, separated by a clearance, sat on London Bridge (Alagna 19).
Pieces of the burning buildings fell into the river causing the water to turn into smoke and steam
(Hanson 53). The sights and sounds of the London Bridge burning and falling in the water, created a
dark perception for onlookers. The previously mentioned clearance in the London Bridge was a
successful firebreak in an earlier fire, and it was successful again in the Great Fire. London was
lucky that only one–third of London Bridge burned (Alagna 19). Furthermore, the fire continued to
spread rapidly. Huge pieces of wood fell, burning and blazing, forming bridges for the fire to spread
to other buildings. Every house became fuel to the fire, so it could grow

Analysis Of The Movie ' The Snow Queen '
My daughter and I went to the play "The Snow Queen" at the Marquis Theater in Northville,
Michigan on December 10, 2016. The Marquis Theater is a beautifully restored historic landmark.
Upon entering, you are transported back to an earlier time. The lobby features the original french
doors, the stained glass windows, and the old fashioned ticket booth. The theatre is a victorian
design that has two aisle ways with red upholstered seats on the left, right, and middle. The theater is
quaint in size but that only adds to the magical allusion that is created when you watch "The Snow
Queen."
"The Snow Queen" is produced by Chrisina Zayti who also is the technical director for the play. She
is an Eastern Michigan Alumni and has been at the Marquis Theatre for quite some time. Yasmine
Jaffri is the director and writer and works with Elaine Liverance who is the musical director,
accompanist, and composer for the show. "The Snow Queen" has five main characters and many
supporting character that are mostly children. The character of Snow Queen, the antagonist, was
acted by Esther Jentzen another Eastern alumni who was making her debut on the Marquis Theatre's
stage. Gina Karkoski plays Bebe the protagonist in the story and best friends to Louie, who is played

Eve remained stunned. She tried to sort through the shock of who she was seated next to, a man both
cunning and genuine. He was edginess and bravado, sincerity and warmth. He scared her, an oasis
concealing a venomous Rio Grande rattlesnake.
The rest of the men bragged. They boasted about being lawyers, offices about two blocks to the
west, specialty criminal law. Suddenly, their look was not so much men on the prowl as professional
scavengers. They bragged about their legal conquests.

Renzo Piano is a well–known architect, best known for his phantasmagoric architectural
masterpiece, the Shard in London that constitutes a major landmark in α big city like London.
Designed in 2000, it is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, while being for a while Europe's
tallest tower. It lost its title to the Mercury City Tower in Moscow in 2012 which is Europe's tallest

As Renzo Piano said "I don't believe it is possible to build a tall building in London by extruding the
same shape from bottom to top. It would be too small at the bottom and too big at the top. Likewise,

The architect and Mr. Sellar applied for planning permission. Southwark Council was an important
supporter of the skyscraper, which had been administered planning permission at the end of March
2002. Nevertheless, the works for the Shard almost ceased because of the fall of the Twin World
Trade Towers, in New York. According to Mr. Sellar ''the Shard will have ''refuges'' built into its
core''. Furthermore, when plans for the Shard of Glass were first considered, environmentalists
labeled the Shard as a "spike through the heart" of the heritage of London.
Oppositions arose after the plans for the Shard passed through the Council and conservation groups
expressed their concerns about the changing skyline of London and that the skyscraper would
shadow over the Cathedral of St. Paul, the Tower of London. Renzo Piano stated that ''St. Paul
Cathedral is an extraordinary monument and an intrinsic part of London's heritage. I believe that the
new tower will not disturb its stateliness. They are breathing the same air, sharing the same
atmosphere; they are nurtured at the same source.''. It should be mentioned that St Paul's Cathedral,
which for hundreds of year was the tallest structure, and even today is protected by laws which
protect the sight lines to the cathedral, is a monument to the glory of God, symbol of hope, strength
and resilience of the city of London.
In the light of the above, in July 2002, the then Deputy Prime Minister John Leslie

Elegy For My Father Poem Analysis
Diaspora is a loaded expression that evokes diverse challenging thoughts and images. This term may
also be regarded as a synonym of dislocation, multiplicity, cultural conflicts, and marginalized
subjects who reside on the periphery of two different lands. Sudesh Mishra delineates this notion as
"dual territoriality" since the subject has to contend with conflicts which are produced as a result of
a life between "hostland and homeland". According to Mishra, "suspended between two such
terrains (living without belonging in one, belonging without living in the other), diasporas are seen
to represent a new species of social formation" (16). Further in his book, Mishra confers the
dichotomous notion of the subject being split between two worlds, ... Show more content on

In this poem an association between memory and faith can be seen in the lines "memory believes"
and "can knowing remember?"(16). In "Elegy For my Father", being the oldest of the three children,
Alexander is beckoned by the priests to cover her dead father's eyes. This moment makes her think
about the futility of life, "If this is the end of life,/ . . . .what use are gnanam, /dhanam, kavya?" (15).
She reminisces certain poignant moments spent with her father. Being a "loudmouthed teenager",
Alexander asks her father, "Do you love me?" and gets a reply "some things need not be said"(13). It
is a powerful poem highlighting a daughter's deep love and admiration for her father who is no
more. Whenever Meena Alexander feels bewildered and dislocated in her postcolonial world of
experience, she finds "great solace in the lucid and frank centrality of her father's vision of life"(
Krishnakumari 126). Her father believed in leading an orderly life, and in keeping one's emotions
under firm control. Concrete and precise descriptions can be seen in Alexander's poems, such as
when she describes the "red fabric melting into metal teeth" while her mother sews a tear in her
child's shirt, in the poem "Reading Rumi as the Phone Rings"(17). In this poem the thirteenth–
century Sufi poet Rumi could be heard on the phone line sharing out his words of wisdom: "The
