Garden Water Fountains And Public Health

Garden Water Fountains And Public Health The first example of a soda tax in the US came in February 2014, when it was passed by the city of Berkley, California. By taxing sugary drinks, the city hopes to inspire a lot more people to decide on healthier options, such as water. First, the city conducted research to assess whether citizens had proper access to working drinking water fountains. Important information on the city’s drinking water fountains were assembled using a GPS created specifically for the research. This info was cross-referenced with demographic records on race and income acquired from the US Census Community Study database. The two data sets were compared to identify what class disparities, if any, there were in access to working water fountains. The study was able to pinpoint the demographics of areas with water fountains, also observing whether the condition of the fountains was better or inferior in lower class neighborhoods. While the greater part of the fountains were in working order, an alarming number were revealed to be in a poor state of repairs.

The Countless Options in Wall Fountains

Countless Options Wall Fountains 6520642178971.jpg The Countless Options in Wall Fountains Having a wall fountain in your backyard or on a terrace is great when you seek to relax. You can also make the most of a small space by having one custom-made. The requisite elements include a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump regardless of whether it is freestanding or anchored. There are many different styles available on the market including traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian.

Normally quite large, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the floor.

You can choose to place your wall-mounted fountain on an existing wall or build it into a new wall. A unified look can be realized with this style of water feature because it seems to become part of the scenery rather than an added element.

Anglo-Saxon Grounds at the Time of the Norman Conquest

Anglo-Saxon Grounds at the Time of the Norman Conquest The introduction of the Normans in the 2nd half of the 11th century irreparably altered The Anglo-Saxon lifestyle.Anglo-Saxon Grounds Time Norman Conquest 571636885939.jpg The Normans were better than the Anglo-Saxons at architecture and horticulture when they came into power. But the Normans had to pacify the whole territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Most often constructed upon windy peaks, castles were fundamental structures that allowed their inhabitants to devote time and space to offensive and defensive strategies, while monasteries were rambling stone buildings generally placed in only the most fecund, extensive valleys. The bare fortresses did not provide for the calm avocation of farming. Berkeley Castle, maybe the most uncorrupted model of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists today. It is said that the keep was introduced during William the Conqueror's time. As a technique of deterring assailants from tunneling under the walls, an immense terrace encompasses the building. A scenic bowling green, covered in grass and enclosed by battlements cut out of an ancient yew hedge, creates one of the terraces.
