A backup generator for a large apartment building

Emergency power systems are a type of system, which may include lighting, generators and other apparatus, to provide backup resources in a crisis or when regular systems fail. They find uses in a wide variety of settings from residential homes to hospitals, scientific laboratories, data centers, telecommunication equipment and modern naval ships. Emergency power systems can rely on generators, deep cycle batteries, flywheel energy storage or hydrogen fuel cells . Finally, some homebrew emergency power systems use regular lead-acid car batteries, but these do not make a very efficient or reliable system.

History

Emergency power systems were used as early as World War II on naval ships. In combat, a ship may lose the function of its steam engines, which power the steam driven turbines for the generator. In such a case, one or more diesel engine(s) are used to drive back-up generators. Early transfer switches relied on manual operation; two switches would be placed horizontally, in line and the “on” position facing each other. a rod is placed in between. In order to operate the switch one source must be turned off, the rod moved to the other side and the other source turned on.

Operation in buildings

Another generator, powered by fossil fuels and used at a construction site

Utility power (known as normal power) can be lost due to downed lines, malfunctions at a sub-station, incliment weather, planned blackouts or in extreme cases a grid-wide failure. In modern buildings, most emergency power systems have been and are still based on generators. Usually, these generators are diesel engine driven, although smaller buildings may use a gasoline engine driven generator and larger ones a gas turbine. However, lately, more use is being made of deep cycle batteries and other technologies such as flywheel energy storage or fuel cells. These latter systems do not produce polluting gases, thereby allowing the placement to be done within the building. Also, as a second advantage, they do not require a separate shed to be built for fuel storage. .

With regular generators, an automatic transfer switch is used to connect emergency power. One side is connected to both the normal power feed and the emergency power feed; and the other side is connected to the load designated as emergency. If no electricity comes in on the normal side, the transfer switch uses a solenoid to throw a triple pole, single throw switch. This switches the feed from normal to emergency power. The loss of normal power also triggers a battery operated starter system to start the generator, similar to using a car battery to start an engine. Once the transfer switch is switched and the generator starts, the building’s emergency power comes back on (after going off when normal power was lost.)

Unlike emergency lights, emergency lighting is not a type of light fixture; it is a pattern of the building’s normal lights that provides a path of lights to allow for safe exit, or lights up service areas such as mechanical rooms and electric rooms. Exit signs, Fire alarm systems and the electric motor pumps for the fire sprinklers are almost always on emergency power. Other equipment on emergency power may include smoke isolation dampers, smoke evacuation fans, elevators, handicap doors and outlets in service areas. Hospitals use emergency power outlets to power life support systems and monitoring equipment. Some buildings may even use emergency power as part of normal operations, such as a theater using it to power show equipment because “the show must go on”.

Electronic device protection

Computers, communication networks and other modern electronic devices need not only power, but also a steady flow of it to continue to operate. If the source voltage drops significantly or drops out completely these devices will fail, even if it is for a fraction of a second. Because of this, even a generator back-up does not provide protection because of the start-up time involved.

To achieve this, extra equipment such as surge protectors, inverters, or a sometimes a complete uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is used. UPS systems can be local or building wide. A local UPS is a small box that fits under a desk or a telecom rack and powers a small number of devices. A building wide UPS can take on several different forms, depending on the application. It directly feeds a system of outlets designated as UPS feed and can power…(and so on)

The Bill has broadcast two live episodes, the first in 2003 to mark the 20th anniversary of the pilot episode “Woodentop”, and a second in 2005 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ITV1.

Live Episode (2003)

The first live episode of The Bill (episode #162) was broadcast on October 30, 2003 at 8:00pm. It was written by Tom Needham, directed by Sylvie Boden, and produced by Susan Mather and Donna Wiffen.

The live episode continued from the cliffhanger of episode 161, where DC Juliet Becker was being held at knifepoint by a drunken man called Mark whom she and PC Cathy Bradford tried to arrest for vandalising a phone box. Despite Cathy’s attempts to reason with the man, Juliet is held captive in Sierra Oscar 2, and Cathy promptly alerts the rest of the station. Several Sun Hill officers arrive in the yard, let by Superintendent Adam Okaro who tries to negotiate with Mark. As Mark becomes more agitated, the officers break into the van and manage to disarm and restrain him, only to discover that Juliet had been stabbed in the stomach. Juliet is rushed to St Hugh’s hospital, accompanied by Inspector Gold and Sgt. June Ackland, but Juliet later dies from her injuries.

June is shocked to find colleague DC Jim Carver in St Hugh’s with a bruised face. June soon learns that Jim’s wife, Marie, has been beating him up. As June confronts Jim about his marriage, the pair of them reminisce about their twenty years at Sun Hill.

Elsewhere, Sgt. Sheelagh Murphy is unaware of being watched by a familiar face during the catalogue of events - fugitive former PC Des Taviner, wanted by the Sun Hill team for the murder of six colleagues.

Meanwhile, PC Gary Best is concerned for the welfare of his missing father. The prime suspect in his father’s disappearance, Ellis, was arrested during an armed siege and interviewed by DS Samantha Nixon and DC Ken Drummond, only for the interview to be interrupted by DC Mickey Webb, who was then working for M.I.T. A van is discovered during the investigation, awash with the blood of Gary’s father, and door-to-door enquiries in a nearby residential area leads to DC Eva Sharpe and DC Rob Thatcher discovering a decaying body.

After the body is identified as Gary’s father, Gary waits for Ellis to be charged in custody before attacking him. Ellis then flees from the station but is pursued by Gary. The pair of them fight it out on the station rooftop but fall off during the struggle. Gary narrowly escapes death from being cushioned by the Ellis’s body.

Live Episode (2005)

The second live episode of The Bill (episode #349) was broadcast on September 22, 2005 at 8:00pm. It was written by Graham Mitchell, directed and co-produced by Sylvie Boden, and produced by Donna Wiffen.

This live episode was centred around the case of the grief-stricken father Jeff Clarke and his son, who was killed by a passing car in episode 348. The subsequent verdict of accidental death and the insensitive treatment that Jeff Clarke received from Sun Hill’s Superintendent Amanda Prosser lead to Jeff gatecrashing the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the running of Sun Hill by taking a number of police officers and civilians hostage in the station. His demands were that the driver, Ashley Morgan be charged with his son’s death.

That evening, PC Gabriel Kent, masquerading under the name of his adopted brother, encounters the real Gabriel who had arrived at the station to meet his mother, Sgt. Ackland. As the real Gabriel confronts his brother, David, in an empty CID office, Jeff Clarke pulls a gun on Amanda in the Superintendent’s office.

The episode opens up with Amanda struggling to reason with Jeff in front of David and Gabriel as the anniversary reception begins downstairs. DC Jo Masters, DC Zain Nadir and DC Terry Perkins arrive in CID with some guests and they are held hostage along with PC Dan Casper, who is looking for Amanda. A shot is fired during Jeff’s struggle to gain control, and staff and civilians downstairs are alerted to the situation unfolding. As plans are made by Superintendent Adam Okaro, DCI Jack Meadows and suspended Inspector Gold to evacuate the guests, deploy armed response units and establish an observation point, Dan is encouraged by Amanda to overpower Jeff, but is shot in the arm. Gabriel is also shot and injured out of sight, but Jo, Zain, David, Amanda and the guests make it to safety. Jeff is left with an injured Dan, and Terry, who stays behind to help him.

Gabriel is eventually rushed to hospital through Jeff’s consent, accompanied by David and PC Sheelagh Murphy. As Gabriel regains consciousness, David quietly threatens him to keep quiet about his identity.

After Clarke refuses to negotiate following the incident, a power struggle ensues between Adam and Amanda over who should deal with the siege. Amanda flatly refuses to allow Gina back into duty to negotiate, but Gina manages to…(and so on)

That Darn Cat! (1965 film)

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

I want to introduct something about Watches.
Watches
he conception of this chronograph is governed by four essential criteria: sturdiness, aesthetic sophistication, precision and reliability. With its over-sized casing and diameter of 50 mm, the ? W? is marked by a completely new character, adding a highly original dimension to its class. The watch is fitted with a special version Valjoux Soprod 7750 self-winding movement with date indicator and 42-hour battery reserve. Unlike other watches of the I&MT collection, the owner’s name is not written on the running reserve but on the small second counter: an exceptional new acclaim to the credit of this innovative matchmaker. Like its predecessors, the 3W2 watch will be produced in a limited run. With its 300 m water resistance capability, the 3W2 undoubtedly boasts the full measure of sturdiness, reliability and functionality demanded of a watch designed for adventures at extreme depths.

Plot and cast



Mills in That Darn Cat!

“That Darn Cat” or “DC” is the feline pet of suburbanite sisters Ingrid (Dorothy Provine) and Patti Randall (Hayley Mills). One night, DC follows Iggy (Frank Gorshin), a bank robber, to an apartment where he and his partner Dan (Neville Brand) are holding bank employee Margaret Miller (Grayson Hall) hostage. The robbers let the cat in and feed him. When Margaret is alone for a moment, she scratches “help” into the wristband of her watch, places it around the cat’s neck, and releases him into the outdoors. At home, Patti discovers the watch and calls the FBI. Supervisor Newton (Richard Eastham) assigns Zeke Kelso (Dean Jones) to the case but DC eludes Kelso and his three agents. Eventually a bugging device is implanted in DC’s collar and the cat leads Zeke into a comical chase at a drive-in movie and several backyards. Eventually, Patti and Zeke rescue Margaret and bring the robbers to justice. A subplot involves a romance between Patti’s sister Ingrid and Gregory Benson (Roddy McDowall). Cast includes Elsa Lanchester and William Demarest as nosy neighbors, the MacDougalls, Ed Wynn as Mr. Hofstedder, Richard Deacon of Leave It to Beaver, as a drive-in theater manager, Liam Sullivan as Graham, Iris Adrian as the landlady, and Tom Lowell as Patti’s boyfriend Canoe.

Reception

Bosley Crowther of the New York Times wrote, “The feline that plays the informant, as the F.B.I. puts it, is superb. Clark Gable at the peak of his performing never played a tom cat more winningly. This elegant, blue-eyed creature is a paragon of suavity and grace”, and concluded, “…it’s an entertaining picture. Even a king might profitably look at That Darn Cat.”

Awards and nominations

The film’s writers, Mildred Gordon, Gordon Gordon, and Bill Walsh, were nominated by the Writers Guild of America for Best Written American Comedy. The film was also nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Motion Picture, and a Golden Leaf nomination for Best Supporting Actress (Elsa Lanchester). Mills won the 1966 second place Golden Leaf award for Comedy Performance, Actress. The Sherman Brothers won the third place Golden Leaf award for Best Song.

The Antelope Valley Project is a flood control, economic development, transportation and community revitalization project in Lincoln, Nebraska. Centered on the flood control channel provided for Lincoln’s Antelope Creek, the project is planned to run from just beyond J Street in the South to Salt Creek to the North, with the creek fully contained within the channel. The total cost of the project is $238,000,000. The project is the largest public works project in the history of the city.

Overview

Lincoln’s Antelope Valley Project creates a fresh aesthetic and a critical infrastructure complex. Everything centers around the ‘wandering’ and occasionally flooded Antelope Creek–now with the Project’s new waterway as a control. A Project design/map can be found at: http://www.lincoln.ne.gov/city/pworks/projects/antelope/phasing/pdf/phasing.pdf.

The Project creates a green belt in the heart of the city. Ponds, fountains, pools, trees, flowers, decorative grasses, benches, sculpture, parks and lamps dot the project. Vehicular and pedestrian bridges add utility and a post modern aesthetic. Other project features include: Antelope Valley Parkway, a vehicular traffic way running from Cornhusker Highway South via the Parkway merging into Capital Parkway; a major vehicle arterial running from 27th Street West via State Fair Road merging into Salt Creek Roadway at the ‘big X’ and onto 9th Street; miles of recreational trails connected to an extensive city trail network; rail, pedestrian and vehicular bridges across the waterway; Trago Park and Union Plaza, both interactive water venues: access to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus and the planned UNL research park through pedestrian and bicycle trails, bridges as well as major vehicular parkways, enumerated above.

“Project waterway”

The waterway carries the 100-year flood run-off. It centers on the new grass-lined Antelope Creek waterway. To create the channel, the Corps of Engineers designed and managed a ‘big dig’–miles in length. Water flows North into the larger Salt Creek. Aside from providing the channeling complex for the last miles of the creek, the waterway connects on the South directly with Antelope Creek as it flows from Holms Lake to the Southeast.

Union Plaza

The $7,000,000 Plaza forms the aesthetic, entertainment and social centerpiece of the Project *. This ‘central park’ creates a water-theme/people interactive venue. Plaza designers, the Clark Enerson Partners **, splashed a water theme everywhere–from multilevel water features to colored wave embedded pavement. The Plaza includes the Lincoln amphitheater, a water plaza with fountains and ponds, festival areas, play areas, sculptures, a scenic overlook, gathering spots, and event parking. All of this–the ponds, major fountains and other water features create a unique, experience. Anticipated surrounding the Plaza are: restaurants, shops, offices, other businesses, housing and a possible UNL Research Park extension (*under construction–completion 2010).

The 6-acre (24,000m2) park runs along both the East and West sides of the waterway from O Street, North to R Street (between 21st and 22nd streets. Union Bank & Trust Company contributed substantially to the Plaza (2008).

( ** See the Clark Enerson Partners design slideshow at: http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2007/09/24/special_reports/2015/doc45b0e88fda439352645014.txt#image )

Auto parkway

Relocating crowded city street is a significant element of a three-part major arterial project.

Part I. Antelope Valley Parkway provides a six-lane traffic way running the length of and parallel to the waterway (West side).* Bridges criss-cross the channel at Military Road, ‘Big Y,’ Y, Vine, Q, P, O*, N** and J* streets. Bridges and overpasses provide access to UNL on the West, to the UNL research park on the East, to arterials and to streets. Connecting to Cornhusker Highway on the North, Antelope Valley Parkway will run approximately 3.5miles (5.6km).

Part II. At S Street, the arterial breaks away from the channel and follows 19th Street southward, connecting Antelope Valley Parkway with Capitol Parkway at K and L streets **. The resulting merged arterials will continue on Southeast to Capitol Parkway end (at 48th Street).

Part III. The 27th Street/9 Street connection creates a continuous East/West parkway from 27th Street (East entrance), connecting State Fair Road to Salt Creek Parkway*, intersecting with Antelope Valley Parkway at ‘the Big X,’ and continuing onward to merge into 9th street on the West*. (*under construction) (**construction pending)

Facilities

The club is lucky to have some of the best facilities for a town rowing club in Cambridge, with a boathouse containing dedicated weights room, changing rooms, showers, toilets, a kitchen, a large fleet of boats and a lounge area for relaxing in which doubles as an erg room for ten ergs.

Racing

The club competes all year round at local and major national events including Men’s and Women’s Tideway Head of the River Races, Women’s Henley, Henley Royal Regatta and the National Championships.

The biggest race in the local calendar is the Cambridgeshire Rowing Association Bumps in which all club members participate. The women’s squad hold second position on the river and the men are currently in fourth place.

History

The club was founded in 1899 as a spin-off from the YMCA boat club after some members decided they wanted to smoke, drink and row on Sundays.

These days the club has a smoking ban in its boathouse but its members can still be found socialising and enjoying a drink together while long hours are spent on the water at weekends.

In 1990 CRA Bumping Races, the club was the first to hold the Head of the River position simultaneously in both the men’s and women’s events. In 2006 the club was the first to hold both first and second on the river simultaneously in the women’s event.

(Redirected from Yip-Yips)

for electronic band see Yip-Yip

The Yip Yips are characters on the popular children’s television show Sesame Street. They are interplanetary visitors, presumed to be from the planet Mars (in the first skit, as soon as they descend, their first words to each other are “…Not Mars.” “Nope.”). They marvel at devices such as clocks, telephones and computers. When frightened, each covers its face with the lower part of its jaw.

In their skits, these creatures, with squid-like tentacles, large eyes, and antennae, materialize into a room and say, “Yip-yip-yip-yip… Uh-huh. Uh-huh,” in monotone voices. They come across common objects and, curious as to their names and functions, the Yip Yips consult a book they call “Earth book” which presumably contains information about things on Earth. For example, in their first skit the Yip Yips try communicating with a telephone by common greetings such as “Hello”, “Greetings”, and “Hi there!” unsuccessfully. After each failure they say “nope nope nope.” Next they address the phone as a cow, a cat, and then a chicken, only finally learning what it really is when it rings. They “ring” back at it with their voices, clearly pleased to have identified and established communication with it.

They are “Yip Yipped” by multiple muppeteers including Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Martin P. Robinson, and Kevin Clash. The puppets have a very simple design, controlled entirely by two rods (one for the body and eyes, the other for the front of the mouth). This allows their entire bodies to be seen on camera, appearing to float in the air.

The two Yip Yips seen most often are called “Bob” and “Joe”. On Plaza Samo (the Spanish version of Sesame Street), the Yip Yips say, “Yip-yip-yip-yip… Baja. Baja.” Baja means “short.” On the Dutch version, Sesamstraat, the Yip Yips are called “Sjoerd and Hendrik Marsman”, referring to the early 20th century poet Hendrik Marsman. Note that in Dutch, Marsman does literally mean “Martian”.

Merchandising

Around the time of Sesame Street ’s 35th anniversary, licensors finally started to notice and recall the characters. In mid-to-late 2003, Hot Topic led the way with the first-known official Yip Yip merchandising, a “vintage”-look T-shirt with two Martians. This was followed in the fall of 2004 with Gund bean-bag toys. Light switch plates, action figures (by Palisades Toys), and stuffed toys followed. The 2006 Sesame Street calendar features the Yip Yips for November, and they make an appearance on the front cover.

The only real acknowledgement of the characters previous to 2003 was their mention in the 30th anniversary book Sesame Street Unpaved.

Etruscan wall-painting

Etruscan art was the form of figurative art produced by the Etruscan civilization in northern Italy between the 9th and 2nd centuries BC. Particularly strong in this tradition were figurative sculpture in terracotta (particularly life-size on sarcophagi or temples) and cast bronze, wall-painting and metalworking (especially engraved bronze mirrors).

The mysterious origins of this people, and consequently of their artistic style, dates back to the peoples who inhabited or were expelled from Asia Minor during the Bronze Age and Iron Age, though other ancient cultures influenced Etruscan art (due to proximity or commercial contact), such as Greece, Phoenicia, Egypt, Assyria and the Middle East. However, its apparently simple character in the Hellenistic era conceals an innovative, characteristic and unique style whose apogee coincided with the Greek archaic period which would come to have a deep influence on the Roman art which would later entirely absorb it in the 1st century AD.

800-650 BC - “Oriental” or “Orientalising” period. Due to cultural exchanges amongst Mediterranean civilizations at this time, especially with Ancient Greece, a figurative tradition appeared in Etruscan art that was based on Greek models.

650-500 BC - Archaic period - Ionic and Corinthian influences. Due to more and more exchanges and due to the structure of Etruscan society, new artistic techniques emerged. Painting became highly developed in this period, as did painted sculpture in terracotta and vase-painting.

500-300 BC - Classical period - Peak; still marked by Greek influence; less and less art produced due to internal and external political and military crises, with the exception of the bronzes from Vulci.

300-100 BC - late phase; absorbed into Roman culture.

Art and religion



An ancient Etruscan necklace (University of Pennsylvania Museum)

Etruscan art was often religious in character and, hence, strongly connected to the requirements of Etruscan religion. The Etruscan afterlife was negative, in contrast to the positive view in ancient Egypt where it was but a continuation of earthly life, or the confident relations with the gods as in ancient Greece. The Etruscan gods were hostile and tended to bring misfortune, and so Etruscan religion was centered on interpreting their will and accepting or satisfying it. However, on the other hand, most remains of Etruscan funerary art have been found in excavations of cemeteries (as at Cerveteri, Tarquinia, Populonia, Orvieto, Vetulonia, Norchia), meaning that what we see of Etruscan art is primarily dominated by depictions of religion and in particular the funerary cult, whether or not that is a true reflection of Etruscan art as a whole.

Etruscan sculpture

Strongly influenced by ancient Greek sculpture, famous examples include:

“Sarcophagus of the Spouses”, from Cerveteri (now at the National Etruscan Museum)

the “Apollo Helios” (now at the National Etruscan Museum)

the “Arringatore” (Aulo Metello), found in Umbria (now at the National Archaeological Museum of Florence)

the “Apollo of Veii”, from the temple at Portanaccio (Veii), attributed to Vulca (now at the National Etruscan Museum)

the “Chimera of Arezzo” (now at the National Archaeological Museum of Florence)

the “Capitoline Wolf” (now at the Capitoline Museum of Rome) This famous example has now been shown to be 13th century AD

Etruscan painting

The Etruscan paintings that have survived to modern times are mostly wall frescoes from graves, and mainly from Tarquinia. These are incredibly important as the most important example of pre-Roman figurative art in Italy known to scholars.

The frescoes consist of painting on top of fresh plaster, so that when the plaster is dried the painting becomes part of the plaster and an integral part of the wall, which helps it survive so well (indeed, almost all of surviving Etruscan and Roman painting is in fresco). Colours were made from stones and minerals in different colours that ground up and mixed in a medium, and fine brushes were made of animal hair (even the best brushes are produced with ox hair). From the mid 4th century BC chiaroscuro began to be used to portray depth and volume. Sometimes scenes of everyday life are portrayed, but more often traditional mythological scenes.

The Automated Fare Collection System (AFC) is the name given to three interoperable automated ticketing systems for government-run buses, trains and ferries in and around Sydney, Australia.[citation needed]

The system, developed by AES Prodata (now ERG Transit Systems), is based on cardboard or plastic magnetic stripe card tickets featuring a magnetic stripe on one side and printed journey information on the other.

The Automated Fare Collection System was introduced by the State Transit Authority of New South Wales and CityRail between 1988 and 1993. It was planned that the system be progressively replaced with a smartcard-based system called Tcard, which was to incorporate more transit operators however after issues involving the roll-out of the system to the public both ERG and the Public Transport Ticketing Corporation canceled their contract and are now seeking legal action against each other.

History

Magnetic tickets were first used in Sydney on the Eastern Suburbs Railway line, from 1979 onwards. Integrated bus-rail tickets were also available for this line. An automated multi-ride ticket system called MetroTen, based on optical mark recognition rather than magnetic stripe technology, was used on Sydney’s government buses from 1987 until 1992. In general, however, Sydney commuters used paper tickets specific to the mode of transport on which they were purchased until the early 1990s.

Automated Fare Collection System tickets were introduced on ferry services provided by State Transit between 1988 and 1989, replacing a system of token coins and turnstiles. State Transit installed ticket vending machines and ticket barriers at Circular Quay and Manly, the main wharves in its network. The operation of the ferries ticketing system was the focus of a corruption inquiry in 1999.

On 31 August 1992, State Transit introduced automated fare collection to its Sydney and Newcastle bus networks as the State Transit Automated Ticketing System, or STATS. STATS replaced a limited multi-ride ticketing system called MetroTen, which was easily and frequently defrauded by passengers. Of the “el cheapo Metroten ticketing system that the former Labor Government installed”, then transport minister Bruce Baird told Parliament that “Many people know that rorting has gone on” and “The system is outdated and has outlived its usefulness.”

The change was heralded by the installation of two green ticket validators in each of State Transit’s 1600 buses.

Tackling fare evasion was also at the heart of automated ticketing on the rail network. Baird told Parliament that under the Wran and Unsworth governments, “between 10 and 20 per cent” were checked and that this had risen to “between 50 per cent and 60 per cent” since the Greiner government took office. “With automatic fare collection,” Baird told Parliament, “85 per cent of all tickets will be checked regularly. It is estimated that somewhere in the range of $20 million to $30 million each year will be collected by way of revenue that should have been paid for travel on State Rail.”

CityRail’s adoption of automated ticketing was more fraught, occurring late and over budget. Officials blamed the size of the rail system. While the State Transit equipped two stopsircular Quay and Manlyith ticket vending machines, CityRail was required to outfit almost 300 stations with them. The government was forced to allay fears that automated ticketing would mean that more stations would have staffing withdrawn once vending machines were in place.

Automatic ticketing, including vending machines and ticket barriers, was introduced to the CityRail network over 12 months between July 1992 and July 1993, at a cost of some $90 million. Baird estimated that reduced fare evasion would net “in the range of $20 million to $30 million each year”.

The sixth season of CBS’s American version of Big Brother consisted of thirty episodes which aired from July 7 to September 20, 2005. It was again hosted by Julie Chen.

This was the first season to be filmed in the newly remodeled Big Brother house, located in a CBS sound stage.

The seasons twist was that each houseguest was secretly partnered with another houseguest (totalling seven pairs) they had known prior to entering the Big Brother house. These partners played the game as individuals, but if both managed to make it to the final two, the winner would receive $1 million while the runner up would receive $250,000. The final partner to be broken up was Ivette Corredero and Beau Beasley who had managed to make it to the final six together. This season’s winner was Maggie Ausburn, who defeated her close ally and friend Ivette Corredero by a 4-3 jury vote.

Twists

The rules remaining mostly the same as in previous seasons, but this season contained twists that CBS dubbed the “Summer of Secrets”.

The main twist that was each HouseGuest had a secret partner, who they already knew in the real world, a fact that they must keep a secret. Initially, each secret pair thought that they were the only secret pair. If both members of a secret pair reached the final two, the game’s winner would receive a prize of $1 million, while the runner-up would receive $250,000. The secret pairs were as follows:

Another twist occurred when the America’s Choice Poll allowed the public to vote on which evicted HouseGuest would return back into the game. While Kaysar returned back into house after being evicted, he wasn’t actually the first to do as Amy from Big Brother 3 had also returned to the house (but not in a public vote).

The Ancient Egyptians

The earliest known practice of flower arranging dates back to ancient Egypt. In fact, historical records indicate that the Egyptians were decorating with flowers as early as 2,500 BCE This fact is illustrated with the carved stone reliefs that they left behind, as well as their painted wall decorations.

Historical records indicate that the ancient Egyptians regularly placed cut flowers in vases. In addition, the art of flower arranging was an important component of the culture, and highly stylized arrangements were used during burials, for processions, and simply as table decorations as well.

The flowers selected for the arrangements made by the ancient Egyptians were carefully selected according to their symbolic meaning, with an emphasis placed on religious meaning. The lotus flower or water lily, for example, is considered to be sacred to Isis. Therefore, this flower was often included in flower arrangements. Other flowers that were popular during ancient Egyptian times included the papyrus plant and the palm tree. Many other flowers are routinely found in the tombs of the ancient Egyptians as well. Garlands of flowers were worn by loved ones and left at the tombs of the ancient Egyptians just as many people leave flowers at a cemetery today. Some of these include the blue scilla, the poppy-flowered anemone, the Iris Sibirice, the delphinium, the narcissus, and the rose.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans

The Greeks and the Romans also had a passion for flowers, though they didn often use vases or pots. Rather, they concentrated more on making garlands and wreaths. They also enjoyed tossing petals onto the floor and onto beds. Like the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans had their preferences when it came to the flowers and foliage they used.

The most popular foliage used by the Greeks and the Romans were acorns, oak leaves, laurel, ivy, bay and parsley. Laurel wreaths were presented to winners of athletic competitions in the ancient Olympics. These same wreaths were also awarded to individuals winning competition in poetic meets. In Rome they symbolized a military victory and crowned the successful commander in honor of his triumph.

The preferred flowers include roses, hyacinths, honeysuckle, violets, and lilies. Other flowers such as tulips, larkspur, and marigolds were also selected for their shape, color, and form.

Ancient China

The ancient Egyptians were not the only ones engaging in flower arranging during ancient times. In fact, the Chinese were making flower arrangements as far back as 207 BCE to 220 CE, which is the Han era of ancient China. During this time, flowers were an integral component of religious teaching as well as medicine. In fact, the ancient Chinese classified and described various herbs based on their medicinal uses and flowers were an important part of religious ceremonies.

Those following Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian thinking all routinely placed cut flowers in their altars. This practice dates back to at least 618-906 CE. In addition to placing cut flowers in water at their temples, the ancient Chinese showed their love and appreciation for flowers in other ways as well. This includes creating paintings, carvings, and embroidered items with depictions of flowers. These paintings can be found on vases, plates, scrolls, and even silk. The carvings made by the ancient Chinese are made with many different types of materials, including wood, bronze, jade and ivory.

Since Buddhist teachings forbade the taking of a life of any form, religious practitioners worked sparingly when taking cuttings from plants. In addition, the flowers and leaves that were used to make basket arrangements were carefully selected based on their symbolic meaning. For example, the bamboo, the peach tree, and the pear tree were used to symbolize the importance of living a long life. Other flowers, such as the tiger lily, the pomegranate, and the orchid, symbolized fertility. The most honored of all flowers, however, was the peony. This flower, which is referred to as being known as he king of flowers, symbolized wealth, good fortune, and high position.

The Byzantine Empire

During the period from 500 to 1453 CE, the Byzantine Empire made its contribution to floral arrangements. The arrangements made by their culture typically included a cone shape design. The cone-shaped foliage was placed in chalices and urns, which were further decorated with brightly colored flowers and fruit. Flowers commonly included in these arrangements were daisies, lilies, cypress,…(and so on)
