Psykopaint - Insanely awesome painting experience Fix Smelly Towels As much as I hate to admit this, about a year ago, I was drying myself off and I noticed the towel I was using had an odor. I was floored – I knew for a fact that the towel had been laundered a few days earlier, why did it smell? A couple days later, using a different towel, I noticed the same thing. I was bothered. In her post, Jillee explains that over time laundry products such as fabric softener and detergent build up in the towels, essentially ‘waterproofing’ them over time which makes it very difficult to clean them properly. Luckily, Jillee’s blog post did not stop after identifying the cause of towel odor, instead, Jillee offered a solution that would not only help to eliminate existing odor, but that would also break down that build up that caused the odor in the first place. Start by putting the “offending” towels in your washing machine, then add 1.5-2 cups of white vinegar. Transfer the towels to the dryer and dry completely. Like this: Like Loading...
Drawing tool Proko - Learn How to Draw with Fun Tutorials An Overview of Inca Tech Geography Drives Technology The Incas inherited an unforgiving geographic landscape. Despite its overwhelming beauty, its various terrains held hazards and risks. Yet is is known that the people of the Inca were able to traverse their land from end to end, and from shore to highest regions, on a regular basis. Getting Around in the Andes The inhabitants lacked wheeled conveyances, possibly because they lacked any draft animals strong enough to pull heavily-laden carts (although your author has seen contemporary llamas hitched to wheeled carts in which men sat, fully capable of moving them efficiently). The Incas under Pachacuti developed a lengthy system of roads. Bridges were built across ravines. There were approximately 2,000 tampos (rest houses) placed at even intervals along the trails. These roads are so well built that they are in many places still in use today. Working with Water Architecture and Construction Sources & Resources Image Credits
Comment apprendre la perspective en dessin Accueil > loisirs > dessin synopsis du cours video Il existe des perspectives avec un, deux ou trois points de fuite. Nous examinons ici la perspective dite parallèle avec un seul point de fuite - soit la seule perspective pour laquelle le point de fuite est le même que le point de vue du spectateur : Séquence 1 : on commence par dessiner une ligne d’horizon. Séquence 2 : pour réaliser la mise en perspective d’un rectangle, on tire des lignes partant de chaque angle, jusqu’au point de fuite ; on définit ensuite la profondeur du rectangle. Séquence 3 : le rectangle est maintenant dessiné ; on gomme ensuite les lignes de fuite, on dessine l’intérieur ; le point de fuite est bien identique au point de vue du spectateur, puisque l’angle de vue se situe effectivement au niveau de la ligne d’horizon. mots-clés associés à ce cours video
Inca Road System Construction and Lodging The Inca road system (called Capaq Ñan in Quechua and Gran Ruta Inca in Spanish) was an essential part of the success of the Inca Empire. The road system included an astounding 40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles) of roads, bridges, tunnels and causeways. Road construction began in the mid-fifteenth century when the Inca gained control over its neighbors and started expanding its empire; it ended abruptly 125 years later when the Spanish arrived in Peru. Four Roads from Cuzco The Inca road system runs the entire length of Peru and beyond, from Ecuador to Chile and northern Argentina, a straightline distance of some 3,200 km (2,000 mi). Chinchaysuyu, headed to the north and ending in Quito, Ecuador Cuntisuyu, to the west and to the Pacific coast Collasuyu, led southward, ending in Chile and northern Argentina Antisuyu, eastward to the western edge of the Amazon jungle Inca Road Construction Practical Concerns Lodging Along the Inca Road Sources Christie JJ. 2008.

Inca Empire Timeline and King List Timeline and Kinglist of the Inca Empire The Inca word for ruler was 'capac', or 'capa', and the next ruler was chosen both by heredity and by marriage lines. All of the capacs were said to be descended from the legendary Ayar siblings (four boys and four girls) who emerged from the cave of Pacaritambo. The ruler at the height of the empire was Inca Yupanqui, who renamed himself Pachacuti (Cataclysm) and ruled between AD 1438-1471. High status women were called 'coya', and how well you could succeed in life depended to a degree on the genealogical claims of both your mother and father. Calendrical dates for the reigns of the various kings were established by Spanish chroniclers based on oral histories, but they are clearly miscalculated and so are not included here. Inca Kings Manco Capac (principal wife his sister Mama Occlo) ca. Classes of Incan Society The kings of the Inca society were called capac. Chasqui were message runners who were essential to the Inca system of government.
Inca mathematics Version for printing It is often thought that mathematics can only develop after a civilisation has developed some form of writing. Although not easy for us to understand today, many civilisations reached highly advanced states without ever developing written records. Now of course it is difficult for us to know much about such civilisations since there is no written record to be studied today. This article looks at the mathematical achievements of one such civilisation. The civilisation we discuss, which does not appear to have found a need to develop writing, is that of the Incas. The quipu was not a calculator, rather it was a storage device. The quipu consists of strings which were knotted to represent numbers. 586 on a quipu. For larger numbers more knot groups were used, one for each power of 10, in the same way as the digits of the number system we use here are occur in different positions to indicate the number of the corresponding power of 10 in that position.

Viracocha And The Coming Of The Incas Sacred Texts Native American Index Previous Next from "History of the Incas" by Pedro Sarmiento De Gamboa, translated by Clements Markham, Cambridge: The Hakluyt Society 1907, pp. 28-58. THE NATIVES OF THIS LAND affirm that in the beginning, and before this world was created, there was a being called Viracocha. Viracocha ordered these people that they should live without quarrelling, and that they should know and serve him. Some of the nations, besides the Cuzcos, also say that a few were saved from this flood to leave descendants for a future age. They say that in the time of the deluge called uñu pachacuti there was a mountain named Guasano in the province of Quito and near a town called Tumipampa. In the same way the other nations have fables of how some of their people were saved, from whom they trace their origin and descent.

The Incas The Incas The Incas, an American Indian people, were originally a small tribe in the southern highlands of Peru. In less than a century, during the 1400s, they built one of the largest, most tightly controlled empires the world has ever known. Their skill in government was matched by their feats of engineering. Roads, walls, and irrigation works constructed by the Incas are still in use today. Spanish conquerors captured the Inca emperor in 1532 and began to break up the empire. Social Order To fully appreciate the Inca achievement, it helps to visualize the difficult terrain of western South America. The Empire The basic unit of Inca society was the village, or neighborhood, in which the residents thought of each other as at least distantly related. The Emperor. Established custom guaranteed that the emperor behave responsibly. Nobles. The four nobles who governed the four quarters of the empire served as the emperor's council. Language. Dress. Food. Work.
