Sculpture As a Staple of Classic Art in Archaic Greece The Archaic Greeks built the very first freestanding statuary, an awesome achievement as most sculptures up until then had been reliefs cut into walls and pillars. Most of these freestanding sculptures were what is known as kouros figures, statues of young, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks. Regarded as by Greeks to characterize splendour, the kouroi were shaped into rigid, forward facing positions with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were always nude, muscular, and fit.

The first implementation of a sugary drinks tax in the US came in February 2014, when it was passed by the city of Berkley, California. The taxation is thought to minimize sugary drink intake and increase the consumption of healthier drinks, like water from fountains. Research was performed to find out the reputation of local drinking water fountains and whether people from other racial or economical backgrounds had reduced access to them. The research utilized a GPS app to compile data on present water fountains in the city. Demographic data on race and income was then gathered using the US Census database. The professionals sought to use both data sets to figure out if demographics were interconnected to drinking water fountain access. The evaluation was able to establish the demographics of areas with water fountains, also noting whether the shape of the fountains was better or worse in lower class neighborhoods. Some of the water fountains were unclean or clogged, despite the fact that the majority of fountains worked.
