I have this old plaque and on the back it says Manufactured by Pyraglass in Newburgh, NY. and there is also a sticker that says Maryknoll P.O. NY. I believe the Maryknoll is a religious order.
Is Pyraglass a technique or a manufacturer?

Specifically science fiction... I have a bad habit of switching tenses as I write, and I'm having a hard time deciding which tense sounds best (I usually lean toward past tense, but I can't always make it flow properly). Suggestions?

1. How did the development of religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism transform politics, society, and culture in regions where they developed and spread?

2. How did trade between different groups of people transform civilizations? What effect did trade have on economics, culture, and the spread of new ideas?

Can you please be sure to give specific examples and make it detailed?.

i always wondered if the people who are impressive in dancing like Ciara, Channing atatum, britney, justin timberlake born with 'talented bones' that are more flexible that allows them to dance really good. Is it really natural, or is it just a matter of training? can everyone else dance like them given the prolper training? 'cos i really wanted to be good in dancing but I dance really bad and i wonder if i was just not really born with 'dancable bones' so even enrollong in dancing schools will be useles.

Besides moats and water borders, hilltops and rocky outcrops, do you know how castles were defended by the landscape? Answers might include terrain (especially modified terrain), crops, etc... Sources would be very much appreciated.

i read a book: Emperor. And i came to realise that ancient rome, ancient egyptians, ancient china, etc, they all had slaves to build monuments, great civilizations and eventually an empire. Im not saying that it is ethical, especially now in the modern world, it would be unacceptable. However, from a historical view, was there an alternative? Do u think that it contributes greatly to what we are enjoying today? Without them, we would not achieve many things right?

I repeat, im not supporting slavery, so pls do not hurl insults at me.

I have this large painting (airbrush) that a friend made for me. I now need to get a frame for it. However I don't know what sort/color of frame to buy. The painting is in black and white (grayscale) and quite large (140x100cm or 55x40 inches) and pictures two heads/faces looking at eachother...

I dont know if I should use a black frame or maybe a wood-colored one? Or something else? The wall it is supose to hang on is sort of natural white-yelowish...

Thanks!
