    Exterior Painting- Yonkers, NYRemember The Palette Rule Of Three: For exterior painting jobs, Curragh Painting likes to stick to the “rule of three.” You should have one base color for your home, one accent color for doors and other large fixtures, and one trim color for details. Ideally, you want all three to contrast enough to stick out in the perfect home palette. That being said, don’t choose colors that are garishly contrasting unless you and your neighbors don’t mind getting…

    Geothermal energy production works by the radioactive decay f several types of rocks containing radioactive substances (such as uranium) releasing heat energy. In the volcanic areas in Iceland, the rocks heat the water so that it then rises to the surface (naturally) as hot water and steam. The steam can then be used to drive turbines and electricity generators, thus creating the energy used to heat homes & greenhouses, and other reasons such as fish farming and other electricity in general.…

    After Columbus’ voyage to the New World in 1492, contact between three types of people—Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans—was accelerated. Each, remaining relatively isolated from the others, had established independent cultures and societal characteristics. It was almost unavoidable that when these peoples came into contact, differences in interests could arise that could in turn lead to conflict. Clashes like those along with economic and trade interests frequently led to one member of a group to be taken captive by members of another. Two examples that illustrate this are Mary Rowlandson, a white woman captured by Native Americans, and Olaudah Equiano, an African captured by white slave traders. Both had to adjust to an unfamiliar environment during their captivities, but in terms of religion, Rowlandson maintained and had her Christian beliefs reinforced during her captivity, while Equiano adopted the religious beliefs of his captors. Their experiences show how English religion and culture in particular came to dominate many others in the Atlantic World.…

    Olaudah Equiano’s story made much more of an impact on me than any of the other stories. Equiano plays on people’s sentiments and morals by using rhetorical devices: ethos and pathos. His story appeals to me because I cannot conceive what it would be like to be persecuted and enslaved just because of the color of one’s skin, a trait that they cannot help. Because of the well-executed practice of rhetorical devices, I can imagine the trip of the Middle Passage, aboard the ship myself.…

    Monoculture is mainly used in industrialized agriculture with many inputs of fossil fuels and chemicals to produce large amounts of a single crop. Polyculture is often locally based, and may be found in a subsistence agriculture practice that uses human and animal energy to produce smaller amounts of many different crops. Polyculture and working with nature can provide many and more sustainable solutions to our current challenges, and that in diversifying the food economy we will be much more resilient to future shocks. In doing so we can also reduce our…

    Olaudah Equiano and Thomas Paine dispute the belief that Britain is more civilized than the countries it has colonized. Equiano is able to subtly assert his argument by disguising himself as “an unlettered African” who is a “most obedient, And devoted humble Servant” to Britain, but actually views himself and his culture as equivalently or exceedingly superior to that of the Britain society (Equiano v). In his autobiography, The Interesting Life of Olaudah Equiano (1789), he strategically links between Africa and Western cultures showing how Africans are more civilized and superior to Britons through his recollections of Africa and his current observations of Britain. He is able to manipulate his message by identifying…

    If it were not for the stories past down from generation to generation or the documentations in historical books, the history of the twelve million African slaves that traveled the “Middle Passage” in miserable conditions would not exist. Olaudah Equiano contributes to this horrid history with The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano. Through this narrative, the appalling personal experience of each slave is depicted. He accomplishes his rhetorical purpose of informing the world of the slave experience in this narrative. His use of unique style and rhetorical devices in this conveying narrative portray his imperative rhetorical purpose.…

    If Olaudah Equiano was born in South Carolina rather than Africa, then it would put his entire book into question whether the majority of his story is a lie or not. There is some evidence in his book that would make one question why Olaudah Equiano did some of his actions, but there are also reasons for what he did. If it is true that he was born in South Carolina, then, to a historian, this book is unreliable, and one can only trust parts of the book that coincide with more reliable outside sources about Equiano. Although, a historian might not use this book as a reference since Equiano could possibly be lying, it was still a book that helped change the white man’s perspective of Africans and assisted in abolishing the slave trade.…

    The slave trade, yet horrific in it's inhumanity, became an important aspect of the world's economy during the eighteenth century. During a time when thousands of Africans were being traded for currency, Olaudah Equiano became one of countless children kidnapped and sold on the black market as a slave. Slavery existed centuries before the birth of Equiano (1745), but strengthened drastically due to an increasing demand for labor in the developing western hemisphere, especially in the Caribbean and Carolinas. Through illogical justification, slave trading became a powerful facet of commerce, regardless of its deliberate mistreatment of human beings by other human beings. Olaudah Equiano was able to overcome this intense adversity and actually accumulate wealth by making the best of certain situations he faced throughout his experiences. Even though he was a victim of the slave trade, he willfully took advantage of the opportunity to see the world and to become a productive individual.…
