HOW TO ENJOY THE MONA LISA ( The Mona Lisa was not painted to represent beauty) The Mona Lisa is perhaps the most popular piece of art in the world, the most visited, the most studied, and in this sense, perhaps the most elusive. She denies almost everyone the satisfaction of seeing her, and instead we leave dissatisfied after only a few moments in her presence. It does not help that those who visit her stand in long lines, then just get to see her just from a certain…

Pacquiao vs. Ugas 8/21 Manny Pacquiao has been out of action for over two years, which is obviously a concern at his age. However, he performed well to outpoint smart duo Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman in 2019 and it is hard to go against a fighter ranked number five on the all-time pound-for-pound list. Pac Man certainly seems fired up for this bout, as he bids to reclaim the WBA welterweight super championship stripped from him during his absence. Pacquiao declared: “Ugas…

Thus, the Indios were relegated to the places we now know as Pasil and Carbon. The Chinese or the Sangleys, lived in the Colon area where they sold their goods. And in the Parian area was where the Spanish elite clustered. Although actual walls may not have…

Instituting A National Land Use Policy in the Philippines The Philippine topography and terrain is quite unique in that we are archipelagic in nature and there are very varied situations as we go from island to island. The proposal, wanting to gather all acts related to land use, to become one big act managing that actually, can have both positive and negative connotations.

The design industry is driver of the economy henceforward. What used to be regarded as a poor man's industry has become the rich man's source of income and profit. there is not one industry in the world today that doesn't have a design component. The creative young people of today are lucky to be born into this unrecognized renaissance of new artists and designers. Who doesn't believe this?
