...One Smooth Stone One Smooth Stone is a business-theater company that businesses contract with to help deliver a particular message for items such as a new product launch, a business-wide initiative, or a special sales event. Everyone in the company works together to meet client needs, which are often changing with regards to time, competition, and other factors. The company does not "pretend to have a prepackaged solution," but instead works with each client individually to determine the perfect idea and then deliver on it. One Smooth Stone hosts a diverse clientele whose needs vary widely. One Smooth Stone does contract out to other companies or freelance contractors for particular needs. The company is highly selective about who they contract with, because while those workers may not be under the same roof as One Smooth Stone, in the clients' eyes they still represent the company. Mark Ledogar attributes the success of One Smooth Stone to the great relationships the company has with its clients and the great structure within the organization itself. OSS organizational structure is flat and very decentralized which allows decisions to be made quickly. They have no departments so they can work around the clock. The level of departmentalization is minimal and frequently changes due to the number and type of clients the company has at one given time. They also provide their clients with a wide variety of specialized skills by outsourcing its special needs. This writer believes...

...and during my research I came across the idea to photograph gemstones. Fire and brilliance are two categories under which we would find gems stones and diamonds. Optical gemology is the identifications term used to describe the characteristics of the color, transparency and sheen of these breathtaking stones. The lusters and quality of light that reflects from the surface of a stone, observing the transparency of a gem or diamond would depend on the amount of light that penetrates through the stones and this has an effect on the chemical and crystalline, that is how the reflecting of the colors are lightened up. The key to success with this...

...Certainly there are exceptions to this, but few find interest in the average rock. Normally it takes a child, or an adult who’s in touch with their inner child, to see the potential of the average, dirt covered rock. However through the eyes of a child, each rock takes on a personality, be it a country cousin or a snooty countess. Come and experience the beauty and majesty of a rock, from the simple stone to the classy diamond. On a daily basis people pass millions of rocks, ones that we use as stepping stones in our garden to the pebbles in a fish tank. Many of us will see a rock, but we don’t give it any attention at all. These stones are the lowest class of the rock world. Lacking absolutely nothing and having various character traits. Rocks are available in all shapes and sizes, from large to small, rough and smooth, and available in different colors and patterns, swirled brown, cloudy reds and cloudy grey. Like fingerprints, or people themselves, no two rocks are alike. Opening a door to the imagination, children play with rocks every day; weather it’s skipping stones across a pond or loading boulders into a Tonka truck. Adults smile and indulge the...

She is holding a child with her left arm cradling the bottom of the child and her left hand comes from under and over the front of the child. She holds him on her left side almost at shoulder level. The child is missing his head and left hand , his right hand is held up towards the virgin's face with two of the child's fingers pointed up . The Ennatum, Prince of Lagash is around one foot tall.

...New England. Every year a lottery is held, in which one person is to be randomly chosen to be stoned to death by the people in the village. The lottery has been practiced for seventy-seven years by the townspeople. By using symbolism, Shirley uses names, objects, and the setting to conceal the true meaning and intention of the lottery. The names of each character in this story hold significant meaning to the lottery. The name "Delacroix" is an example. In" The Lottery," Shirley explains "the villagers pronounced this name 'Dellacroy'." According to Nathan Cervo "[I]n French, 'Delacroix' means "of the Cross'" (Cervo). Incorrect pronouncing this word provoked the Christian symbol of martyrdom. Another the exam is the name "Summer." summer is, as Amy A Griffin describes, "a time usually associated with cheerfulness" (Griffin). In "The Lottery" Summer is the name of a businessman who is responsible for conducting the Lottery. Ironically, Mr. Summer is assisted by Mr. Graves--the word "grave" usually represents for death. By naming the conductor of the Lottery Summer and Grave, respectively, the author implies that there will be an unfortunate event during the summer. Altogether, the symbolic names above play a role as a forewarning note of an unfortunate outcome of "The Lottery." As well as the character's names, each object in "The Lottery" has a certain meaning to the story. One of the objects in "The Lottery" is the "stone". In the second paragraph, Shirley pictures a scene...

...result of his self-love and selective attitude towards possible suitors, he has ostracized himself from all others, which causes him extreme emotional pain. c. Example: The hidden statue is a metaphor to Narcissus’s inevitable fate. Significance: Just as the statue is difficult to see behind the mountain tops, Narcissus is unable to see his destiny, which is to die. Although it is difficult to detect, the constant presence of his pre-determined future is undeniable. 3. Body Paragraph #2 Juxtaposition d. Example: The figure of the living man contrasts sharply with the stone hand. Significance: This is the most explicit reference of the stark difference between the world in which Narcissus is alive and the realm after his death. Obviously, the living man, colored in warm reds and yellows, depicts a living Narcissus, full of emotion and vibrancy. On the other hand, the stone hand, colored in cold greys and silvers, indicates the eerie silence of his demise....

...Union of Venus and Bacchus (L'Alliance de Bacchus et de Vénus) by Nicolas Chapron. Chapron successfully demonstrates a union being made between these two gods due to his use of color, texture, and his line technique. In the painting The Union of Venus and Bacchus (L'Alliance de Bacchus et de Vénus) by Nicolas Chapron paints the goddess Venus with the god of wine and fertility Bacchus. Directly underneath them there is a satyr holding a fallen goat with two infants at each of the goat’s hind legs. They are in a forest with what appears to be a stone table with a vase on it and cloth surrounding the back of the trees to make a hidden area in the woods. On the right hand side of the table intertwined in the cloth are two more infants. The vase on the table has a face on the front of it and the spout is in the shape of a bird’s beak. Underneath the infants in the bottommost right hand side of the painting, there is some sort of cracked stone and a base of a column. In the background of the painting the sky is in turmoil and there is the rest of the forest and a path that leads to the area of the painting. In the center of the path lies a boulder. At Venus’ feet there is a woman lying down with her head back. Venus is pointing to the woman while facing Bacchus and they seem to be discussing about the woman. The satyr has a distressed face and is looking at the bottom left of the painting where there is a large hole in the ground. The closed line technique used outlines the bodies and...

...statue known as the Kritios Boy, since workmanship antiquarians once thought it was crafted by stone worker Kritios, is a standout amongst the most imperative statues ever. At no other time had a stone carver been worried about depicting how a person really stands. Genuine individuals don't remain in the firm legged posture of the kouroi and korai or their Egyptian ancestors. People move their weight and the position of the middle around the vertical pivot of the spine. At the point when people move, the body's flexible musculoskeletal structure manages a concordant, smooth movement of every one of its parts. The artist of the Kritios Boy was the to start with, or one of the to begin with, to get a handle on this anatomical truth and to speak to it in statuary. The young plunge his correct hip somewhat to one side, demonstrating the moving of weight onto his left leg. His correct leg is twisted, quiet. The head, which never again shows an Archaic grin, likewise swings marginally to one side and tilts, breaking the unwritten decide of frontality that directed the type of basically all prior statues. This weight move, which craftsmanship history specialists depict as offset, isolates Classical from Archaic Greek statuary....

...Excitement lingers through the air when the lottery rolls around in the U.S. Millions of dollars are won and almost no one wants to miss out on the lottery. In most people's minds, the lottery is associated with pride, wealth, and fame, but what if the lottery was associated with execution? In Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” the lottery takes place in the middle of town in every year. One by one, families step up when their names are called and pull a single slip of paper from the infamous black box- in which the slips of paper lay. As each slip of paper is pulled, people cross their fingers, hoping that they will not be the winner. The lottery may seem like a positive game in which the winner receives riches, but dark secrets await in the black box. In “The Lottery,” Shirley Jackson uses the black box, stones, and the character's names to symbolize a dark somber mood....

He was traveling back home because there were trolls moving closer and closer which made everyone uneasy fearing a war might come, but nothing had happened yet and nothing may happen. Besides where he was laying there was stream. He got up and knelt over it, carefully picked up a stone about the length of his hand. A sweltering glow emanated from the rock as the young wizard started casting his spell. Then a problem started to arise, it happen, he sneezed sending a shock of power threw the rock as he did so. There was an alarming bang, mini pieces of the rock were lying scattered everywhere, they were slightly thicker than an eggshell.

...art is one with fine sharp lines curls lips and is made to resemble the akkadian ruler from this timeline. I do believe that thid piece was shaped from either a modled or was carved from lime stone but when you look at it, you can see that the lips are pouted and the brow is angery looking the hair is curled. The color is a balckish gray color and the left eye is destroied but it is a good piece of art. The other thing about this piece is that it is life like and it is of the akkadian king. There should be more on this piece that I cannot discribe as I am not sure what it is but this piece scares me just a bit I think of this as eveil but from what I can make of it he was a ruler that did not treat his people kind at all. This piece is 3 demensional and is a full scale of the akkadian ruler. I other findings I do believe that he had two sons not sure what their names are but the race of akkad is an assissin race which they killed for porfit. The stiries are anyway, but with more research I should know more about the akkadians as there are now no more I think unless there are modern akkadians.

...Renegade on top of a round stone block that has the word Unconquered carved into it. There is also a small inscription in the base that says, “This statue does not depict a particular person or even. Rather, it symbolically portrays the unconquered spirit of the Seminole people of the 19th century and the timeless legacy of that sprit that continues to burn bright into the future”. The statue was constructed by Fritz White, who specializes in life size sculptures and monuments, the unconquered statue being his biggest project, which is double life size. It is made of bronze and has a stone base and all together stands a whopping thirty-one feet tall. It was unveiled October 10th 2003 but it wasn't until September 2nd when the word Unconquered was carved into the stone. The statue sits in front of Doak Campbell Stadium the home field of the Seminoles. The intended viewpoint of the statue is to be standing in front of it with the football stadium in the background. There is a tradition to light the end of the spear on fire the night before home football games as Florida State fans show their support. Fritz White uses the natural form of the house and the human and very little of the statue is stylized. Fritz used realism to create a lifelike statue which means the textures of the piece are pretty much constant of what their real life counterparts would be, although there is some difference between the horse and the chief. The lines on the horse are very smooth and rounded while the...
