Kinkaku 2 Research Paper

"In the summer of 1911, at age 20, he broke the American 50-yard record by more than a second, and beat the 100-yard world record by more than four seconds" (Duke Kahanamoku | Encyclopedia of Surfing). Duke didn't stop there, in 1920 he went on to set another world record in the 100-meter freestyle (Duke Kahanamoku | Encyclopedia of Surfing). Among many of the unique nicknames that Kahanamoku had aquired throught the years was the "Bronzed Duke" (Duke Kahanamoku | Encyclopedia of Surfing). This may be coincidence and it may not, but it definitely interesting as many, if not all, of the sculptures made in Duke's likeness were casted in

Early one morning in New York City’s borough of Brooklyn tragedy occurred when off duty NYPD officer Nicholas Batka lost control of his vehicle slamming into four pedestrians. The incident left one dead and three of the people in serious condition. It was found that Officer Batka was legally intoxicated when lost control of vehicle ending up on the sidewalk.

Of the victims was a 21 year old who rushed to Bellevue Hospital Center in

The people that were in this group were Kyara Herrera, Grecia Almaguer, Odalys Salgado, and Claire Fourt. Kyara helped with the board game and made 2 stacks of cards. Grecia helped with the box, board game, and the game pieces and made 1 stack of cards and the bonus cards. Odalys helped with the box, board game, the game pieces, and the dice and made 1 stack of cards. Claire helped with the board game, the game pieces and made 1 stack of

Each year, the FBI provides research on law enforcement officers that have been killed or assaulted; many people know this as LEOKA. The goal of this data is to provide people with information through the UCR (uniform crime report) about law enforcement officers who have been feloniously and accidently killed, and also officers who have been assaulted in the line of duty. The uniform crime report presents this information through overviews and statistics about each of the victims, where they come from (the state they resided in), and also when and how they were killed. Throughout the years this has become an effective way to research and learn about this topic and understand why it is important to know about. Throughout this paper I am going to find patterns through different regions and states in the United States under all three of the topics LEOKA focuses on and find similarities and

Situated just south of Tallahassee on the Gulf Coast is Florida’s own hidden treasure Wakulla. The area has an abundance of things to do including boating, fishing, snorkeling, golfing, attending festivals and other interesting events along with enjoying the unspoiled natural habit that exists in this unique area of Florida.

The make-up of the Essex may not have seemed important during that dreadful voyage; after all, how could a difference among men affect the fact that a whale had stove the Essex? In actuality it is the composition of those whalers that had everything to do with the outcome of their voyage. These differences include social status, race, rank, and personality differences. Social status in Nantucket was mainly based on if someone was born and raised a Nantucketer, an orphan, outsider or worse a slave. Nantucket was not a racist location; however there was still a disadvantage for African Americans when it came to the whaling world. Along with that came the struggle of command between the Captain and his Shipmates. His struggle of authority ultimately

People often hate when things are taken from them. For instance, when one is young, their parents might punish them by taking away their TV privileges for a week. This would mean that they would be forced to find a new source of entertainment or fun. Humans often attempt to adapt to the absence of their things by finding something to distract them. Another example of how humans have to adapt is when one may lose a job. Unemployment can lead to issues such as struggle to support a family. The unemployed will be forced to find new means of work and adapt to these new tasks and professional environments. For the Central and South American mammal, the kinkajou, it is a different story. What is being taken away from them is their homes. When they

Have you ever heard the legend of the Golden Kunai? Read along and find out… There once lived a panda warrior named Tao Tao. He lived alone and he was the one that possessed the Golden Kunai. He was so amazing and powerful that he could cut through diamond.

The Japanese forces opposing the U.S. were led by General Mitsuru Ushijima. While originally he commanded only 60,000 to 70,000 men, he had several thousands of men who were stationed in China previously, these were experienced and battle-hardened soldiers (Sanchez 11). Because the Imperial Army and Navy joint command headquarters in Tokyo saw that Okinawa’s defenses consisted of artillery, they sent no additional armored units other than an armored tank division, as an additional aid before the fighting began. Once the fighting started, the joint command sent several heavy weapons, artillery, and men, which were too few and too late. Many of the Japanese troops felt they had been abandoned by the joint command beforehand. The Japanese forces, however, had been dwindling as the war in the Pacific progressed, since the first Allied landing on the Island of Guadalcanal, in 1942. The Japanese were now looking to protect and preserve mainland Japan with what remained of their military.

The history of Medieval Japanese castles are still evident in today’s society through structures, buildings or documents. After much research I came to the question of ‘What was the purpose of constructing castles in the time of Medieval Japan?’

Located at the Horyu-ji temple, the Shaka Triad, also known as the Shaka Trinity, stands 3.82 meters high from the base of the pedestal to the tip of the mandorla. The stature was created out of gilded bronze in several pieces before being put together, and consists of the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, bordered by two bodhisattvas. Each bodhisattva is 0.91 m high, while the central figure, measures out to be 0.86 m. The three figures are situated on a wooden pedestal, backed by a bronze mandorla, decorated with smaller seated Buddha’s cast in relief. The sculpture has been beautifully preserved, although the gilding on the bodhisattvas has become slightly blackened.

From the very beginning till now, in China and Japan, the spatial planning of the Buddhist sanctuary as a whole and the architecture of its buildings have basically remained copies of the spatial planning and the architecture of the Chinese imperial palace. The precinct of Myoshinji Rinzai Zen temple located inside Kyoto in the Muromachi era (1336-1573) is a classical representation of a Japanese imitation of the overall spatial concepts of Chinese Buddhist monasteries of that time. The most distinct features of the Buddhist halls are the construction of the roof . Furthermore, the most monumental buildings have the most symmetrical, and therefore, leading to the ideal preference for the hipped roof . Many believed that the Pagoda, descending

Guilt, shame, and penitence are just a few of the emotions that are often associated with a great act of sin. Mr. Arthur Dimmesdale, a highly respected minister of a 17th century Puritan community, is true example of this as he was somehow affected by all of these emotions after committing adultery. Due to the seven years of torturous internal struggle that finally resulted in his untimely death, Mr. Dimmesdale is the character who suffered the most throughout Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. Mr. Dimmesdale’s ever present guilt and boundless penance cause him an ongoing mental struggle of remorse and his conscience as well as deep physical pain from deprivation and self inflicted wounds. The external influence of the members of

The role of gardens play a much more important role in Japan than here in the United States. This is due primarily to the fact the Japanese garden embodies native values, cultural beliefs and religious principles. Perhaps this is why there is no one prototype for the Japanese garden, just as there is no one native philosophy or aesthetic. In this way, similar to other forms of Japanese art, landscape design is constantly evolving due to exposure to outside influences, mainly Chinese, that effect not only changing aesthetic tastes but also the values of patrons. In observing a Japanese garden, it is important to remember that the line between the garden and the landscape that surrounds it is not separate. Instead,
