A:The use of uncarved wood and bamboo and the use of heavy lacquers are well known Chinese styles. It is worth noting that Chinese furniture varies dramatically from one dynasty to the next. Chinese ornamentation is highly inspired by paintings, including: bamboo trees, chrysanthemums, waterlilies, irises, magnolias, flowers and branches of cherry, apple, apricot and plum, or elongated bamboo leaves. Animal ornaments include: lions, bulls, ducks, peacocks, parrots, pheasants, roosters, ibises and butterflies. The dragon is the symbol of earth fertility, and of the power and wisdom of the emperor. Lacquers are mostly populated with princesses, various Chinese people, soldiers, children, ritually and daily scenes. Architecture has brought geometric ornaments, like meanders and labyrinths. The interior of a Chinese house was simple and sober. All Chinese furniture is made of wood. The used species are: ebony, teak, rosewood for heavier furniture (chairs, tables and benches) bamboo, pine and larch for lighter furniture (stools and small chairs). B:If you were able to feel a textured relief on Chinese-style wood, would the raised sections simply be the result of heavier coats of lacquer on certain parts of the design? Answer: lycos
A:The "snug" was a small enclosed room or area which typically had access to the bar and windows in the partition between it and the public area. A higher price was paid for beer in the snug and nobody could listen in to what these drinkers were saying. It was not only the wealthy visitors who would use these rooms. The snug was for patrons who preferred not to be seen associating with the public in the bar. Ladies would often enjoy a quiet drink in the snug in a time when it was frowned upon for women to be with the working class men in a pub. The local police officer might nip in for a quiet pint, the parish priest for his evening whisky, or eligible singles hoping to meet potential lovers. B:If a local police officer, or maybe a tax collector or process server wanted to keep an eye out for certain locals who might come into a bar and if possible remain hidden himself (though with priority given to being able to see others) would he be better off sitting at the public bar than in the snug? Answer: titled
A:In the freight segment, IR ferries various commodities and fuels in industrial, consumer, and agricultural segments across the length and breadth of India. IR has historically subsidised the passenger segment with income from the freight business. As a result, freight services are unable to compete with other modes of transport on both cost and speed of delivery, leading to continuous erosion of market share. To counter this downward trend, IR has started new initiatives in freight segments including upgrading of existing goods sheds, attracting private capital to build multi-commodity multi-modal logistics terminals, changing container sizes, operating time-tabled freight trains, and tweaking with the freight pricing/product mix. B:If one wanted to move freight somewhere quickly, would IR be a viable choice? Answer: titled
A:Chinese styles are known for using wood and bamboo that have not been carved, along with substantial application of lacquers. It is worth noting that Chinese furniture varies dramatically from one dynasty to the next. Chinese ornamentation is highly inspired by paintings, including: bamboo trees, chrysanthemums, waterlilies, irises, magnolias, flowers and branches of cherry, apple, apricot and plum, or elongated bamboo leaves.

The interior of a Chinese house was simple and sober. All Chinese furniture is made of wood. The used species are: ebony, teak, rosewood for heavier furniture (chairs, tables and benches) bamboo, pine and larch for lighter furniture (stools and small chairs). B:Would you expect the wooden parts of Chinese furniture to have smooth, natural lines, with a mostly unbroken surface? Answer: lycos

A:The "snug" was a small private room or area which typically had access to the bar and small tinted-glass windows, set at a comfortable head height for those inside. A higher price was paid for beer in the snug and nobody else could come in who hadn't paid the entrance fee. It was not only the wealthy visitors who would use these rooms. The snug was for patrons who preferred not to be seen in the public bar. Ladies would often enjoy a private drink in the snug in a time when it was frowned upon for women to be in a pub. The local police officer might nip in for a quiet pint, the parish priest for his evening whisky, or lovers for a rendezvous. B:If someone couldn't afford to get inside, but was still interested in the upper-class locals, could they gave upon the latest fashions from one of the windows in the snug's partition? Answer:
