Make sure the launch range is clear of any obstructions. 2. Using the Plumb Bob and sticky note, mark the floor underneath the launch point. Measure the height of the launch point using the metric ruler once per person and take an average. 3.
It is though understood by most researchers that the huge heads and a number of other sculptures represent their leaders. However, they have not yet found anything to document regarding leadership like the case with Maya society, which named the exact leaders and provide their respective reigning dates. Alternatively, archaeologists had to depend on the little information gathered to document the community’s social systems. This information provided indication of substantial centralization within the Olmec region, first at La Venta and then San Lorenzo. No other Olmec locations come close to these in terms the amount and superiority of structural designs and architecture.
* Series of targets drawn up by the State Planning Committee, very extensive but the officials who set the targets had only a sketchy knowledge of the factory they were dealing with. * Continually revised during operation. * Ambitious plans made in 1927 and revised upwards in 1932 by Stalin. Each plan was unrealistic; Alec Nove argues that they aren’t even plans, as economic plans are drawn up by carefully matching the raw materials to production and production consumption. Production was demanded with no clear idea of how it should be achieved or what the materials should be used for.
The Strap must be attached to the top plate of the wall frame or embedded in the bond beam in at least one place. D. Double Wrap Both Metal Straps must be secured to every rafter/truss with a minimum of 3 nails, wrapping over and securing to the opposite side of the rafter/truss with a minimum of 1 nail. Each Strap must be attached to the top plate of the wall frame or embedded in the bond beam in at least one place. E. Structural Anchor bolts structurally connected or reinforced concrete roof. F.

They also used native copper, silver and gold for metalworking, in which they used very advanced methods. The period between 250 CE and 650 CE was a time of intense flourishing of Maya civilized accomplishments. While the many Mayans city-states never achieved political unity on the order of the central Mexican civilizations, they exerted a tremendous intellectual influence upon Mexico and Central America. The Mayans built some of the most elaborate cities on the continent, and made innovations in mathematics, astronomy, and calendrics. The Mayans also evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas using pictographs and syllabic elements in the form of texts and codices inscribed on stone, pottery, wood, or highly perishable books made from bark paper.
SEC failed at this due to the fact that their product will not operate above 130 degrees F, and that the requirements would not be able to be met without different materials (The Orion Shield Project, 2003). Due to this issue alone, it caused problems with the project, delaying the timeline for completion, increased the amount of resources used and not committing to the stakeholders. Not only did they fail to meet the temperature standard, they also failed to meet the life span expectation. Mr. Allison is responsible for overcoming these technical objectives as project manager of The Orion Shield Project. Ethical Issue: Before even beginning the project, Mr. Allison couldn’t keep his commitment in regards to meeting the temperature requirement.
Nathan Higley Period 3 August 21, 2012 AP European Extra Credit Brunelleschi’s Dome The thesis of the book Brunelleschi’s Dome by Ross King is that the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore built by Filippo Brunelleschi at the time was the biggest and most magnificent dome ever built and to this day no one has built a dome quite like it. The cathedral took over a century to build, Filippo worked on it for a quarter of that time all on the dome. He came up with all new machines and architectural ideas to help achieve this grand feat. One of his ideas was building the dome without wooden centering which was unheard of at the time. The dome was so massive that no one believed he could build it without centering.
Ancient Egyptians did not have the technology we have today to perform simple tasks we consider easy, such as transporting heavy blocks for building. They couldn’t just turn a key to start a truck to transport a 2 ton block hundreds of miles. So, you may be wondering, what did they do? Push the block? Tie a rope to it and pull the block?
Numerous investigations, both official and unofficial, have been launched in the hopes of coming up with conclusive evidence as to what exactly happened on November 22, 1963. As far as I can find from my research, there is not one investigation that is accepted as the definite truth. As soon as someone releases their findings, someone else finds a way to dispute them and shows them to be inaccurate or incomplete. In 1992, the government ordered that all assassination related documents be housed together under supervision of the National Archives and Records Administration. But still, with all the evidence under one roof no one can come to any agreed upon conclusions.
How they used it is still unknown. They also had advanced roads and building that leave current architects and archeologist in owe. With all their great accomplishments it is still a mystery of why everyone left. If life was so advanced why leave the ease of technology for a harder more pain staking life? Was there a drought?
