He did not firstly build them.He just connected sections of Great Wall that had already been built by other states that he conquered.

Intelligent homes ("smart" homes, automated homes, domotics, home networks etc.) are no longer a design concepts of the future. They are being built now, and they are having a direct impact on the lifestyles of people living in them. Intelligently designed and operated buildings yield dramatic increases in worker productivity and energy cost savings, and administrative savings within work environments as well as domestic ones.

"Smart" Home is the term commonly used to define a residence that uses a home controller to integrate the residences various home automation systems (putting devices together). Integration of the home systems allows them to communicate with one another through the home controller, thereby enabling single button and voice control of the various home systems simultaneously, in pre-programmed scenarios or operating modes.

'Smart Homes' can be used to support older and disabled people, providing safe, secure and empowering environments. The 'Smart Home' can allow the user to control many features or automate the ones that might be required. The user can also be monitored by the 'Smart Home' system to ensure their safety, and alert people should the user be in difficulties.

Although the 'Smart Home' has been embraced by the monied factions, it's utility within the realm of augmenting the standard care packages is slowly evolving. A number of 'Smart Homes' have been developed in the UK that have been specifically designed to demonstrate the technology for older people and people with disabilities. A fundamental stumbling block that has been identified through the development of these sites is that there is no consistent or easy method of developing a 'Smart Home' that meets the true needs of the end user.

As time has gone one, the term 'smart home' has begun to lose its meaning and therefore it is better to consider the technology as assistive. Ideally, appropriate technology should allow people to be free to expand their horizons beyond the limited scope that would have been open to them prior to the installation of the system. The technology can benefit many people, although the most direct beneficiaries are the residents and the carers for who the system is primarily designed around. Appropriate systems can allow carers to spend quality time with residents and allow residents appropriate times of isolation (if they wish) without other parties requiring to check up on them. Systems should also be adaptable and grow with the users. The need to be maintainable and easily modified as the needs of the user change. Most importantly they need to be reliable and dependable. They should do what the person expects them to do, when they expect it, in the manner they expect it.

Often the best systems are the simplest with the least technological intervention. Good building design (inclusive and universal design) can mitigate much of the need for extra technology. It is also the case that it is wise not to attempt to predict a system before undertaking a thorough user needs evaluation as often what the resident might actually require is a system completely different from your initial expectation.

We are at an interesting point in history as smart homes are making way for systems such as telecare and telemedicine which are designed to support people in their homes by monitoring aspects of their daily life. These systems are still in their infancy and in many cases the algorithms are somewhat naive relying on people undertaking the same tasks repeatedly on a daily or weekly basis. Currently the philosophy of their use is that is it better to send an alert to an external call centre than to have a person possibly in difficulties. The issue that we will have to address in the future is what happens when call centres are snowed under by false alerts. Is this invasive of a person's privacy to continually have people checking on them. When should alerts be sent and when should they not be sent. Older people as well as people with disabilities have lives and consequently they will do things that the installers of the system have not allowed for in the programme. Clearly this could be potentially very embarrasing if a system suggests a person is in trouble when in fact they are just doing something the programers had not accounted for. This is one of the difficulties with presure sensors on beds etc. In a similar vein, how does a system tell the difference between a person lying on the floor in distress due to a fall and soeone who happens to decide to read a book in the bathroom? How do systems cope with behaviour out of the ordinary?

A flying buttress is a form of buttressing most strongly associated with Gothic church architecture. Flying buttress systems compose of two parts including a massive vertical masonry block on the outside of a building and a segmental or quadrant arch bridging the gap between the buttress and the wall.

In filipino language, a granil is "marking gauge" commonly used in woodworking or carpentry. As a tool, it can draw a straight line near the edge of the wood. During my grade school days I made one granil as my project in my carpentry subject. That started my passion for woodworking.

There is no specific reason, however, its my understanding that normally a basin will be installed on the right hand side of the wall when sitting on the toilet, this is for the disabled so that they have the cold tap closest to them to wash their hands and not the hot in which they could burn themselves. In some countries the opposite is true.

A person can go to any college or university that offers this area of study. It is a four or five year degree. If you are interested in this field I suggest you make an appointment with your high school counselor (if you are in high school) to find out about it. I also suggest you think about ways to design and build "green" houses and building since this will be needed in the future. Our weather is changing and so will the things we do, live, and work in and the one basic foundations of any society is the architecture of that society. Men and women who can offer solutions to some of the problems that people will face in the future will not only help the society, but help build a new world of buildings and homes that can fit the needs of the people living in them and using them.

simple, you go get a computer and type in the question i am answering right now.Dumbass

because people might not have air fresheners and that's why it smells

people do there buisness in the bathroom who wants that smell?

The "best mac laptop" can depend on when you need it for.

The MacBook Air might be best for someone traveling light, or the MacBook Pro might be best for someone who wants a powerful laptop, while the MacBook could be best for someone on a budget.

The arch is important because it is a marvelous way to structurally support the mass of a building roof, a railway line, or an aqueduct, like the ones the Romans built. Some of the arches built by Romans stand today, and they offer a mute testament to the effectiveness of the arch in engineering. The arch is still in wide use today, and we even see big glue-lams (wood glued to laminate it to make large beams) in the shape of arches. The arch has a long history in structures man has built. And, to there are other ways to span large open areas, the arch still shows no signs that it won't be around to span more modest distances to create open space beneath.

no she is not married once in her interview when the host asked about his married life and said u saccrifised ur private life for ur career, she denied the statement and said "'No not at all. I havn't sacrificed ma personal life. It was like not an big issue for me. It wasn't a choice.well I don't think one has to get married. Nor are you obliged to have children if you don't want them."

Engineering and precision engineering companies are companies that design and manufacture products and components. These can range from anything including small precision parts to vehicles etc.

All architects convey their ideas through technical drawings (plans, sections, elevations, details, etc). A class in architectural drawing teaches a student the basic rules to developing each of these drawings. There are also a series of notations, hatch patterns and graphic standards that commonly used in the architectural field and must be learned to create an accurate drawing that effectively communicates the architect's intent.

Gargoyle is a term that comes from the spout that drained water in most of their throats, and it sounded like "gargling", hence the gargoyle.
