Haga, Umeå
Haga is a residential area in Umeå, Sweden, immediately north of the centre and the railroad passing Umeå, History Haga is one of the oldest residential areas in Umeå, established in the late 19th century. From being an area sparsely populated by a few farmers, the relocation of the Västerbotten Regiment to Umeå (1893), and the first link to the national railroad network (1896), raised the need for central housing. Railroad workers and officers began to move into what then was perceived as Umeå's first suburb. As Umeå has grown, the 21st century Haga is one of the most central districts, with a variety of (mostly small) villas, terraced houses, town houses, a few tower blocks, and several parks. Defined by a majority of buildings from the 1940s and 1950s, the district still has a small town aura, not so common in later built areas of Umeå.

Glass Works Of Art
Glass is a non-crystalline, often transparent, amorphous solid that has widespread practical, technological, and decorative use in, for example, window panes, tableware, and optics. Glass is most often formed by rapid cooling (quenching) of the Melting, molten form; some glasses such as volcanic glass are naturally occurring. The most familiar, and historically the oldest, types of manufactured glass are "silicate glasses" based on the chemical compound silicon dioxide, silica (silicon dioxide, or quartz), the primary constituent of sand. Soda–lime glass, containing around 70% silica, accounts for around 90% of manufactured glass. The term ''glass'', in popular usage, is often used to refer only to this type of material, although silica-free glasses often have desirable properties for applications in modern communications technology. Some objects, such as drinking glasses and glasses, eyeglasses, are so commonly made of silicate-based glass that they are simply called by th ...

The concept of a public has also been defined in political science, psychology, marketing, and advertising. In public relations and communication science, it is one of the more ambiguous concepts in the field. Although it has definitions in the theory of the field that have been formulated from the early 20th century onwards, and suffered more recent years from being blurred, as a result of conflation of the idea of a public with the notions of audience, market segment, community, constituency, and stakeholder. Etymology and definitions The name "public" originates with the Latin '' publicus'' (also '' poplicus''), from '' populus'', to the English word 'populace', and in general denotes some mass population ("the ...
