Ramases II - The Greatest of Egypt's Pharaohs
Rameses II, he was the third of his line in the Nineteenth Dynasty, son of Seti I,
and grandson of Rameses I. He ruled for nearly seventy years in the middle of a Period known, as the New Kingdom when Egypt was at it’s most powerful. During His reign 1279-1213, Egypt enjoyed an era of prosperity and stability, not only internally, but externally as well. He is responsible for the building of more Monuments and famous structures than any other pharaoh, having many Structures and statues renamed as if he commissioned them himself. By the end of his unusually long sixty-six-year long reign, he was famous throughout the then known ancient world.
Ramses I was chosen as heir to King Horemheb, the last king of the Eighteenth Dynasty after serving as general, vizier, Commander of the Army of the Ruler of Two Lands, High Priest of all the Gods and Hereditary Prince of the Entire Land. King Horemheb chose Ramses as his successor as he had no children of his own, he too was chosen by the previous pharaoh. Ramses I not only had a son, Seti, a soldier who was married to Tuya, also from a military family, but a grandson, also called Rameses as well. A strong military background was important and all of these factors probably helped in Horemheb’s decision. Having sons and grandsons ensured Rameses of having heirs to carry on the new dynasty.
In 1295, BCE, Horemheb died, Rameses I first royal act, the overseeing of his secret burial rites in the Valley of the Kings. Rameses I took this time to pick out his own burial tomb and began preparations to be buried next to his friend Horemheb. Rameses I and his son Seti planned fabulous buildings, and had existing buildings and monuments redone wi...

Pharaoh Khufu reigned about 2,551 - 2,528 B.C.E. It was during the old kingdom which is also called the Age of the Pyramids. It was called the age of the pyramids because during this time Pharaoh Khufu had the Great Pyramids of Giza built. Pharaoh Hatshepsut reigned about 1,473 - 1,458 B.C.E. This was during the new kingdom. This period of time is also called the Golden Age. It was called this because the Egyptian arts and architecture flourished under her rule. Trade also flourished under her rule.
Packaging can seriously impact your sales profits, by affecting your consumer's perceptions of your brand. How does this happen? For one thing, the purchase decisions made in-store are made unconsciously, for the most part. Yes, while traditional packaging methods are betting on your consumer's use of logic, rationality and reason, eye-tracking tests have indicated another reality. What is that reality? It's that your consumers are making their purchases based on emotion and instinct.

Occurring in the 1920’s and into the 1930’s, the Harlem Renaissance was an important movement for African-Americans all across America. This movement allowed the black culture to be heard and accepted by white citizens. The movement was expressed through art, music, and literature. These things were also the most known, and remembered things of the renaissance. Also this movement, because of some very strong, moving and inspiring people changed political views for African-Americans. Compared to before, The Harlem Renaissance had major effects on America during and after its time.

The Western portion of the United States includes thirteen states that are home to around 80,000,000 Americans, yet it remains one of the most sparsely settled regions in the country (U.S. Census Bureau 2010). In a sense, the American West is the closest thing left to a “frontier” in the modernized United States. One can travel to Montana and become immersed in a world not dissimilar to that of their forefathers, just as easily as one could travel to California, widely considered to be the epicenter of growth and modernization in the States. With Silicon Valley and Yellowstone all in one region, there is a unique sense of space presented within the West that is unattainable from the American North, East, or South. For instance, a trip to New York City may be fairly comparable to a trip to Pittsburgh, but a trip to San Francisco as opposed to Rapid City provides an entirely different cultural experience. If the West was just a replica of the American East, Kerouac’s On the Road would have never come to be. The wide disparity among spaces in the New West is a main reason behind the effectiveness of Coupland’s Generation X. Without the spaces of the American West the comedic genius of Portlandia would be nonexistent!

Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd., focused on delivering quality sustainable packaging products to large and small customers which is a privately owned company that has been in business since 1945, when Abraham Granovsky and his son Phil first opened the actual facility in Scarborough, Toronto (Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd, 2016). They use recycled corrugated products for packaging which helps reduce the overall environmental carbon footprint. By choosing these packaging products we reduce the amount of trees used and the greenhouse gas emissions. In the actual facility they compare recycled corrugated vs virgin paper products which proves that virgin paper reduces the number of mature trees that are harvested and in turn positively affects environmental factors like water usage and brings a change in the packaging waste from landfills. Packaging products which are 100% corrugated, compared to virgin fiber paper, saves more than 4 billion gallons of water per year (Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd, 2016). North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Canada is a departmental standard which classifies Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd under the pulp, paper and paperboard Mills industry (NAICS 4). They deliver a complete packaging solution which goes ahead of cardboard boxes, and gives customers products and services they need from their packaging supplier (Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd, 2016).
According to researches packaging has progressed from containers provided by nature, to the more complexed use of materials and process providing a change to what is displayed on the grocery shelves today. Several factors contributed to the reason for packaging of which included, competition in the marketplace as well as shifting lifestyles, as the market of goods grew, consumers went from purchasing goods they needed to selecting a product based on the unique design and label to decorate their counter tops, making consumer choice a very large factor in packaging.
...ng power of the arts. The Harlem Renaissance gave a voice that was so powerful that it echoed down many avenues, making changes in American culture that continue to speak loudly, today. Jazz, still echoes in clubs, of course with nuances; even rap music has echoes of that great art form as you listen to the voices doing some interesting things. The Harlem Renaissance has left behind writings that many, white and black, still refer to when speaking of civil rights. One such famous speaker was Martin Luther King. The Harlem Renaissance has given America the power to understand why the caged bird sings, and now, she flies free. America will never go back to where it was. Those who were a part of the Harlem Renaissance were the breath, life, and energy that unashamedly drove American culture to change simply by being, creating and fully living who they were.
In Harlem between the 1920’s and 1930’s the African American culture flourished, especially in areas such as music, art, literature, dance, and even in film. This soon became known as the Harlem Renaissance. With the entire positive and the negative situations of this time period the African Americans still seemed to have it all. The Harlem Renaissance came about because of the changes that had taken place in the African American community after the abolition of slavery because of World War I and the social and cultural changes in early 20th century in the United States. After harsh conditions for African Americans after the Plessy vs. Ferguson Trial many of them decided to move to the North to New York. By staying in the South they became more and more economically depressed and there was less of a demand for labor. Moving to the North became one of the best things African Americans did for themselves. There, men could vote and there was a better education system for children. As a result of World War I and the Industrial Revolution there were better job opportunities for African Americans as well.

...n 1163 B.C., Egypt entered a period of slow decline (Scarre 1997:116). Pharaohs became less powerful, and their prestige dwindled. Hungry soldiers were terrorizing the community, while tomb robbers were raiding the pyramids for resources that were very much needed. They had buried their pharaohs with food, goods and jewelry, all of which were needed to keep the civilization in tact. They had built too many pyramids, and there were setbacks in Asia which corrupted trade. People did not understand why the pharaohs could not fix the problems that were going on. They viewed them as gods and lost trust and faith. Egypt fell apart as these things culminated with loss of belief in the pharaohs.
