"Primitive" Greek Artistry: Outdoor Statuary
"Primitive" Greek Artistry: Outdoor Statuary Up until the Archaic Greeks developed the 1st freestanding sculpture, a noteworthy achievement, carvings had mostly been accomplished in walls and pillars as reliefs. For the most part the statues, or kouros figures, were of young and nice-looking male or female (kore) Greeks.
Considered by Greeks to represent splendour, the kouroi were created into stiff, forward facing positions with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were always nude, muscular, and athletic. In around 650 BC, the variations of the kouroi became life-sized.

Free Drinking Fountains in Berkley, California
Free Drinking Fountains in Berkley, California The first example of a sugary drinks tax in the US came in February 2014, when it was passed by the city of Berkley, California.
The aim is to have everyone drinking more water and other natural drinks by increasing the price tag of soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks. Research was performed to find out the reputation of local drinking water fountains and whether individuals from different racial or economical backgrounds had reduced access to them. The study utilized a GPS app to gather data on existing water fountains in the city. This information was cross-referenced with demographic information on race and income acquired from the US Census Community Study database. Comparisons were made between the location and demographic data, exposing whether class differences affected access to clean, functional water fountains. The neighboring demographics of each and every water fountain location was made note of, while also identifying whether race or income rates made a huge difference in the state of repair of each fountain. The fact that the fountains were working was not a guarantee that they were well-maintained, considering quite a few were in need of cleaning and repair.
