    Abstracts for 2015 Student Research Conference Abston, Summer "Architectural Reformation Of Educational Institutions" (Shahnaz Aly) Children serve as an important factor concerning the future of this world. In order to positively impact our future we must start with education by addressing daily function in schools. The aim of this research is to create an environment that is conducive not only for performance but also for health. This is accomplished by appealing to sensory elements. Studies show that by increasing natural lighting and controlling the acoustics, learning can be improved. Health is a vital aspect in producing an environment for learning. By increasing ventilation and not using hazardous materials, such as VOCs and BPAs, adverse health effects can be averted. Materials can serve a dualistic purpose of appealing through sensory perception and meeting sustainability goals. Additionally, materials can also aid in code compliance. Certain types of glass offer a myriad of benefits for regulation and security advances. Moreover, through better selection of materials, schools can improve their educational environment and prevent sick building syndrome all while becoming more sustainable and accommodating to building codes. This presentation will highlight the topics that were adopted in the design of a high school. Abston, Summer; Aly, Shahnaz; "Observational Sketching As A Platform To Improve Sketching Techniques" (Shahnaz Aly) Architecture is a very visual discipline that involves sketching and drawing as a means of visual expression. However, the computer has become the preferred design tool for most designers and architects. Through the transition of traditional to digitals drawing tools, programs have become so sophisticated that they virtually require no thought from the user, making hand sketching a thing of the past.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.
