...With a ragged diamond of plate glass.” The first two lines of the poem appeals to the reader a metaphor “ragged diamond.” The use of the word ragged to describe the glass suggests something broken or torn. The second image is of “a young man and his girl falling backwards into a shop-window.” This is written in the present tense. The reason for this is to create a sense of immediacy. This gives the reader a sense of almost being a witness to this event. The next image in the poem is a violent one “The young man’s face is bristling with fragments of glass” it is as if the man has a beard made of glass. The use of the word “bristling” shows us that the man has fragments of glass puncturing his face. The reader is then left to wonder how the glass came to be stuck to his face. The comparison with a beard is deliberately ironic and shocking. “and the girl’s leg has caught on the broken window” The poet’s choice of words is very important here. “Caught” suggests something that has trapped the girls leg is trapped by the shattered plate glass and she is probably seriously injured. The poet draws even more attention to the violent detail, “And spurts arterial blood over her wet-look white coat. The poet used both sound imagery “spurts”, and visual imagery. The implication of the bloods colour is suggested by the word arterial. Clearly an artery has been cut which puts the girl in grave danger. “ This contrast with the white coat again drawing attention the blood...

...The world today is driven by fashion, and no individual — young or old — is immune from it. So why should our buildings be left behind? The hottest trend on the construction block these days is glass, and every other building that you come across can be seen flaunting it proudly. The skylines of Indian metros are dotted with high-rise buildings clad in glimmering glass, spelling out affluence and style. People today are willing to splurge on glass just to get that ‘hi-tech’ and sophisticated look, but there’s much more to glass than just that. Glass glazing is one of the most preferred options of architects and developers these days, and with good reason. Glass reduces the weight on foundation and makes for a lighter building. Use of glass creates a sense of space. Not only does it bring external environment, the skies and greenery outside into the spaces within the building, it opens up spaces inside. Glazing can also have a tremendous impact on the energy performance of buildings besides enhancing visual and acoustic effects. Opting for the right kind of glass and glazing can significantly lower building energy con¬sumption. Diff¬erent types of glass available today carry an extra feature of safety and durability. In India, glass glazing has become an industry in itself with a host of companies providing a plethora of choices for everything – from the type of glass to the type of glazing. Ranging from multinational giants such as Saint Gobain or South Korean DM Wall...

...Suger’s day, Chartres Cathedral in total had 180 original stained glass windows. The stained glass windows of Chartres Cathedral are still remarkably well preserved up to today and become the richest collection of Gothic stained glass windows in the world. Its windows were filled with “dense stained glass panels” to create a dark but colorful interior. Due to their outstanding cobalt blue color, they are also known with name called “the blue from Chartres”. Though the Cathedral consists of 176 stained glass windows, there is only three that are most well known not only for the “the secret formula” of having the cobalt blue color, but also for their countless narratives behind those illustrations. The chosen artwork is “Notre Dame de la Belle Verrière”, which was created in mid 1100 AD and rescued from the catastrophic fire in 1194 AD in which it was damage dramatically and nearly was destroyed. It has another name is “Our lady of the beautiful window” is or ”Blue Virgin Window”. Along with the Rose Window of the North...

...You're special Sad music flooded through the room as tears dribbled down from a pair of sparkling green eyes. The moonlight that shone in from the opened window made those eyes sparkled in beauty. A girl sat on a old rocking chair, crying softly as she rocked back and forth, letting the creaking sound on the chair hitting the wooden floor soothed her. " It won't work between us, Aries..." new tears came as she remember the broke up scene between her and Brian. It was cruel of him to broke up with her on Valentine's Day, which also happens to be her birthday. She couldn't take the news and was so shocked that she has not been herself for the past two days. "Aries..." her mother's voice from the other side of the door pull her back from her thoughts. "Sweetheart, please come out... Brian isn't worth your tears." her mom said softly and rapped on the door a few times. Aries quickly wiped her tears away as she dragged herself to open the door. Her mom was carrying a tray with a bowl of porridge and a a cup of fruit juice. As soon as the door was wide enough, her mom walked in and put the tray on her reading table. "Oh...sweetheart!" she sighed and hugged Aries tightly. Aries didn't want to cry but she couldn't help it. She started crying into those comforting arms that have been there for her as long as she knew. Her mom consoled her with soft whispers as she cried her heart out. Her mother left after a while to give her daughter some space to calm herself after...

...these solar windows from Hua Qin we were giddy with excitement. These window panes, which were unveiled at Taipei’s International Optoelectronics Week, do double duty to block out the elements and create energy for your home. They are slightly foggy and can seemingly replace home or commercial windows. The windows can come in slightly hazy to really hazy opacities – the more opaque the window, the more energy it produces. It’s unclear when these windows will hit the market, but they do bring up the idea of solar mapping, which we recently reported on. People can now map their buildings to see where the most sunlight hits, and install very opaque solar windows on those sections of the building in order to optimize the sun’s rays. This great green invention could open up the door to all kinds of renewable energy production for all kinds of environments. With solar panels, or even with solar paper — which we recently reported on — it is neccessary to put aside a surface for solar production that will serve no other purpose other than to produce power. With these solar windows one could generate electricity not on the roof of an electric car, but through the sun roof or the window pane. This solar glass would be perfect for greenhouses, capturing light from panes of glass that already magnify the sun. The opportunities with solar glass are endless, let’s hope Hua Qin sets to work manufacturing them soon. Read more: Solar Glass Generates Power Through Your Windows | Inhabitat...

...Marine Application Guide Bonding and Sealing Organic Windows Application Description Most of the organic glazing materials used in boat building are either clear acrylic sheet (PMMA), widely marketed under trade names such as Perspex and Plexiglas (the latter manufactured by Rohm and Haas), or polycarbonate (PC), marketed by Bayer GmbH as Makrolon and by General Electric as Lexan or scratch-proof Margard. All plastic glazing products possess certain characteristics that must be clearly understood before they are installed or bonded with adhesives. In general, incorrectly installed plastic glazing panels are prone to environmental stress cracking (ESC). This can be aggravated by the use of the wrong adhesives. Sika Transportation_99 Plastic glazing products have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than conventional glass. Therefore, when designing glazing installations, an expansion gap of at least 10 mm all round the periphery must be incorporated between the window rebate and the plastic glazing panel to accommodate thermal movement. Similarly, any clearance holes for fixing screws must be drilled oversize; slightly larger than the diameter of the screw shank. To minimise the risk of environmental stress cracking, flat sheets of plastic glazing material should be installed completely flat; they should not be forced to take up a curvature by the use of mechanical fastenings. When the design calls for curved glazing panels, these...

...The Wenatchee Valley, a place of mountains, apples, aired summers and mild winters. A place of opportunity for a 23 year old Noah Lynes. My Father came from California with only a backpack, a skateboard, and a tattoo machine. 1 year later I was born and he started taking tattooing seriously. By the time I was 4 my dad owned his own tattoo parlor, only about 800 square feet,but large enough for a start. By the time I was 6, dad accumulated enough money for us and the business to move. The shop was now 2,000 square feet, and had acquired new artist. Through my eyes in our 3 bedroom flower-filled front yard and cherry tree backyard, we were rich. I didn’t see my dad much, but every Sunday my dad took off work, it was my day, our day. We would go boating, snowmobiling, shopping, amusement parks, you name it we did it. When I was 8 my parents split up. My mom kept the mystical garden and my dad got a 2nd floor apartment with a pool, big enough for the both of us. After a year I was living full time with my father, he was now a single father of a 9 year old girl. It was him and I against the world. Every morning he’d wake up a 6 a.m, drive me across town and have me at school by 7:20 a.m then go into work. After work he’d pick me up and we’d go to the shop. A place with Flash Art all over the walls, display cases full of body jewelry, tattoo machines, and drawings my Father had done. There were 3 desks in the shop; one behind the display cases with a computer that controlled the music...

...The Power of Rebellion Rebellion is the only power against tyranny in this world. Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest addresses the power of rebellion against a tyrannical force through the relationship between protagonist R.P. McMurphy and antagonist Nurse Ratched. Through the use of diction, figurative language and symbolism, Kesey illuminates rebellion kindled by McMurphy as a force that degrades the power of Nurse Ratched. The use of diction in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a key component to revealing the influence of McMurphy’s rebellion. The use of diction can be seen as Nurse Ratched’s “remote patience” begins to diminish following the destruction of the glass pane in front of her nurses’ station (Kesey 207). In this instance, Nurse Ratched’s forced patience with McMurphy is wearing down due to his repeated defiant acts. The word “remote” to describe Nurse Ratched’s patience, a patience she forces in order to maintain her calm, collected façade, reveals the influence of McMurphy’s rebellious actions. No longer is Nurse Ratched able to adequately mask her intolerance with the patients, which in turn demonstrates the breakdown of her control over said patients. Diction once again exposes Nurse Ratched’s loss of power as she “jerk[s] the adhesive as tight as she [can]” on McMurphy’s bandage (207). This rough physical movement indicates that Nurse Ratched is not pleased to be bandaging the hand of the man who shattered glass just to test her patience...
