Buildings

Buildings can be made from a variety of materials, including concrete, steel, wood, and brick. The choice of material depends on factors such as cost, availability, durability, and design requirements. Additionally, modern buildings often incorporate a combination of materials to achieve specific structural and aesthetic goals.

Keokuk Young Women's Christian Association Building was created in 1913.

An ancestral hall is a traditional building or structure in Chinese culture that is dedicated to the worship of ancestors. It serves as a place for family members to gather and pay their respects to their ancestors through rituals and ceremonies. Ancestral halls often contain ancestral tablets or plaques that bear the names of the deceased ancestors.

Stone House of Indian Creek was created in 1810.

Buildings where you go to see ancient objects are typically called museums or archaeological sites. Museums often have curated collections of artifacts and historical objects, while archaeological sites are locations where ancient ruins, structures, or artifacts are preserved and displayed for visitors.

Adams County Courthouse - Ohio - was created in 1911.

It is an important cement ingredient and its proportion must be carefully maintained. It occupies the percentage of 60-67%. The lime in excess makes the cement unsound and causes the cement to expand and disintegrate.

The absolute first is unknown, however it is generally thought to be one of the following: University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, William and Mary, or Iowa State University. The Student Counseling Service at Iowa State University was established during the Fall of 1939.

A wild giraffe's average lifespan is 20-25 years, whereas, in captivity, they can live as long as 28 years.
The giraffe has a 25 year lifespan in wild. They live so long because of their height. The giraffe is the world's tallest mammal.

the bird population was going down somewhat and the turks believed they should do something about so they invented the birdhouse. The bird house made the bird population go up again because it provided protection for the birds.

You mean like bread and rolls? Advantages: homemade breads are potentially really good (assuming you know how to bake), they're less expensive on a unit basis, and they make your house smell very good. Disadvantages: you've got to buy a lot of ingredients to make them, it takes a lot of time to do it, and you have to eat the stuff right up because it goes stale faster than store-bought.

The tallest mountain in Fiji is Mount Tomanivi at 4,344 feet. The second tallest is Mount Uluigalau at 4,072 feet.

Research data:

The report, The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke, finds that even brief secondhand smoke exposure can cause immediate harm. The report says the only way to protect nonsmokers from the dangerous chemicals in secondhand smoke is to eliminate smoking indoors.

"The report is a crucial warning sign to nonsmokers and smokers alike," HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt said. "Smoking can sicken and kill, and even people who do not smoke can be harmed by smoke from those who do."

Only smoke-free environments effectively protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke exposure in indoor spaces.

My information is from: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Office on Smoking and Health (OSH), is the lead federal agency for comprehensive tobacco prevention and control. OSH is a division within the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, which is located within CDC's Coordinating Center for Health Promotion. Just one of their goals is to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.

Smoking kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car crashes, illegal drugs, murders, and suicides combined -- and thousands more die from other tobacco-related causes -- such as fires caused by smoking (more than 1,000 deaths/year nationwide) and smokeless tobacco use. No good estimates are currently available, however, for the number of California citizens who die from these other tobacco-related causes, or for the much larger numbers who suffer from tobacco-related health problems each year without actually dying.

Smoking-Caused Monetary Costs in California

Annual health care costs in California directly caused by smoking $9.1 billion

- Portion covered by the state Medicaid program $2.9 billion

Residents' state & federal tax burden from smoking-caused government expenditures $630 per household

Smoking-caused productivity losses in California $8.58 billion

Amounts do not include health costs caused by exposure to secondhand smoke, smoking-caused fires, spit tobacco use, or cigar and pipe smoking. Other non-health costs from tobacco use include residential and commercial property losses from smoking-caused fires (more than $500 million per year nationwide); extra cleaning and maintenance costs made necessary by tobacco smoke and litter (about $4+ billion nationwide for commercial establishments alone); and additional productivity losses from smoking-caused work absences, smoking breaks, and on-the-job performance declines and early termination of employment caused by smoking-caused disability or illness (dollar amount listed above is just from productive work lives shortened by smoking-caused death).

Clay is a good material for building models and such because it is very tough. However, it is still a very moldable substance. It shapes easily. But if clay get too cold it will either crack, or it will get to tough to mold. Always keep the room at around 69-72 degrees. Have fun.

Buildings are being made all the time of all different heights, types, purposes etc.

The tower in the center of the Canadian parliament buildings is called the Peace Tower.

Wood Rot Wood rot is a type of fungal decay in timber, the decay comes in two catagories, white rot and brown rot. Decay usually starts when spores from the rot come into contact with damp timber. The damp timber (more than 20%w/w) allows the spores to establish themselves and grow using the wood as a food source. Symptoms of an attack of wood rot range from cross cuboidal cracking to mycelium on the surface of the wood and these symptoms vary depending on the type of rot, the type of wood and the conditions that the wood is subjected to.

Wood rot usually reduces the strength of timber and is often accompanied by a fungal growth called a sporaphore or fruiting body which is the heart of the attack and produces more spores which continue the life cycle of the fungus.

The most feared fungi is true dry rot (serpula lacrymans) which tends to cause more widespread damage than wet rot fungi
