A Brief Overview Of Texture In Graphic Design

Actual Texture While most elements of design such as color and type are simply seen by the audience, people can actually feel the texture. The most common instance of this is with paper. The feel and weight of paper can significantly impact the perception of a design, making the designer’s selection a crucial decision. Business cards or brochures on a heavyweight paper may be seen as more professional than those on a lighter weight....

A Dictatorship In The Making

Chavez says he is merely carrying out his campaign promise to shake up the country’s corrupt political elite. Since his left-leaning government took power in February, he has led the effort to reform the country’s 1961 Constitution and clean house. But skeptics–from opposition politicians to American diplomats–fear he is going too far. “We are standing before a dictatorship that is supported in the National Constitutional Assembly,’’ said Timeteo Zambrano, secretary-general of the main opposition party, Democratic Action....

A Doctor S Case

I was sitting, trying to write letters with the IV in my left arm. I was in the back room of my hematologist’s office: with its desk, examining table and worn back issues of magazines, where the “chemo” was blessed and administered. I waited as the initial fluids infused, feeling the room-temperature solution tingle up to my shoulder as it mixed with my body-temperature blood. The day was gray, with snow forecast....

A Father. A Daughter. A Kiss Wasn T Just A Kiss.

““The Kiss’’ is many things: lyrical, chilly, surprisingly pretty, surprisingly chaste. A month before it arrives in stores, however, it has become the publishing industry’s latest scandal, and all anybody wants to know is why on earth Harrison would write such a thing. For her part, the author says she felt compelled to clean her closets: ““It is my conviction that secrets are more costly in the long run than honesty,’’ she told The New York Observer last week....

A Grand Experiment

This dream should offer new insight into the nature of the cosmos. Deep beneath a tranquil patch of farmland, Ciocio and her colleagues at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, have built the world’s biggest and most sophisticated scientific instrument, the Large Hadron Collider, housed in a 27-kilometer tunnel that loops beneath the French-Swiss border. Using unprecedented energy, it will re-create the conditions a fraction of a millisecond after the big bang that gave birth to the cosmos 14 billion years ago....

A Grand Night For Singing

Despite such diversions, the four-hour, titanically tedious show seemed longer than ever. And the Grammy itself actually got bigger-it’s 30 percent larger than in previous years. (This could prove useful: it might well double as an ear trumpet, something many heavy metallites may soon need.) Luther Vandross, on the other hand, got smaller. He has dropped 106 pounds, and after taking R&B honors said, “I’d like to thank my diet doctor....

A Gray Campaign

Appearing at a Los Angeles-area charter school on Monday, California Democrats imported both Bill Clinton and “The West Wing’s” Martin Sheen to lend some star appeal to the famously wooden governor’s campaign against Republican Bill Simon. But the charisma transplant clearly didn’t take. Flanked by Clinton and Sheen, Davis dutifully rattled off his education achievements to a polite smattering of applause from the audience of African-American and Latino parents. Then Bill Clinton took the stage....

A Guide To Angel Numbers And How To Use Them To Manifest Your Reality

Angel numbers usually consist of repeated numbers—for instance, 1111 or 444—or patterns—such as 123 or 4545. Your angels will send you a specific number depending on the sort of spiritual guidance you are in need of at that moment. Making a vision board is a great way to literally visualize what you want to manifest. A vision board is a collage of images and text that represent your ideal future. If you want a new job, you might include a photo of the place you want to work; if you want a new car, you might add a picture of the car you want to get....

A History Of Terrible Campaign Slogans From We Polked You In 44 To Build Back Better

Jay Townsend, a Republican political consultant who has worked on four presidential campaigns, says, “At the end of 2016, nobody could forget Donald Trump’s slogan. It worked with a lot of people. If you walked out on the street today and asked ‘What’s Trump’s slogan?’ and ‘What’s Biden’s slogan?’ nobody would know.” This year Trump went with the defensive “Keep America Great” and the Biden campaign, after first trying out “Unite for A Better Future” and “Battle for the Soul of a Nation,” settled, somehow, on “Build Back Better....

A Killer S Confessions

Is Evans the fiend he says he is? His lawyer, Frederick J. Lusk Jr., says Evans wept frequently when he described his crimes, but it’s hard to determine whether remorse or egotism was driving his confession. The FBI joined local officials last week in creating a task force to investigate Evans’s claims and the possible complicity of Beatrice’s mother in the case. They promised to proceed with caution. “You are not going to see us doing a Henry Lucas thing,” said Gulfport Police Chief George Payne Jr....

A Little More Willpower Can Change Your Life

The reasons are not hard to fathom. Our appetites–forged in Stone Age settings where food was scarce and physical labor was a daily reality–are not easily suppressed. Our love of certain foods often takes root during childhood, long before we know or care about their nutritional value. And we don’t relinquish our pleasures lightly. Nothing predicts failure like the grim anticipation of feeling deprived. Healthy living is not just an exercise in abstinence....

“The guy over there at Pease-a woman, actually-she said something about a country-Western song, you know, about the train, a light at the end of the tunnel, I only hope it’s not a train coming the other way. Well, I said to her, well, I’m a country-music fan. I love it, always have. Doesn’t fit the mold of some of the columnists, I might add, but nevertheless– of what they think I ought to fit in, but I love it … But nevertheless, I said to them you know there’s another one the Nitty Ditty Nitty City-that they did....

A Long Overdue Of Appreciation For Other Indian Sports

India has always been a strong presence in shooting with Abhinav Bindra clinching the gold medal in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, being the prime moment of the sport for Indians.

A Moment Of Genius Years Of Obscurity

Pearse was a cattle farmer who built and flew a bamboo-framed mono-wing airplane far enough and high enough to crash-land on a lonely country road on top of a 12-foot-high gorse hedge. It was March 31, 1903, historians and witnesses say, eight months before the Wright brothers flew. At the end of the month, more than 5,000 revelers are expected to join a parade and air show in Timaru, a port town near Pearse’s farm....
