It was upon the rude awakening of my father's death that I first took notice of my mother. There she stood at 43 years of age, overweight and slovenly. Our father had always been so immaculate about himself but our mother seemed to let herself go.

A financially strapped ...

In The Age of Total Images, art historian Ana Peraica focuses on the belief that the shape of the planet is two-dimensional which has been reawakened in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and the ways in which these 'flat Earth' conspiracy theories are symptomatic of post-digital image culture. Such theories, proven to be false both in Antiquity and Modernity, but once held to be true in the Medieval Period, have influenced a return to a kind of 'New Medievalism'.

Jute fiber reinforced PP-based composites (50% fiber by weight) were fabricated using compression molding and the physicomechanical properties were evaluated. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and impact strength of the composites were found to be 43.59 MPa, 6382.01 MPa, 81%, 21.85 MPa, 2550.97 MPa, and 45.49 N/m respectively. Then wood flour reinforced PP-based composites (50% fiber by weight) were fabricated and mechanical properties were equated with jute based composites. Jute-based composites ...
