Buildings And Structures In Markham, Ontario
A building, or edifice, is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory (although there's also portable buildings). Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term ''building'' compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the ''outside'' (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful). Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasses of much artistic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Newmarket Era
''The Newmarket Era'' is a weekly newspaper that has been published in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, since 1852. History 1850s The ''New Era'' began as a four-page weekly on February 5, 1852, under GeorgeS. Porter, born in 1813 and originally from Norwich, England. He controlled the paper for a year before heading to Australia where he lived into his 100th year. During his tenure the paper reprinted long tracts on topics of the day, but struggled to find a readership among the 500 members of the pre-incorporation village of Newmarket. This was attributed to a lack of money and the education potential of readers. He sold the paper to new arrivals from Toronto, Erastus Jackson and A. E. R. Henderson. Erastus was born August 29, 1829, in Merrickville, Grenville County, son of tanner/shoemaker Christoper Stroud Jackson. Erastus' first apprenticeship in the paper trade was at 16 years of age, and from 1845 to 1852 worked at papers in Cobourg (''Canadian Christian Advocate''), Gu ...

Baseball
Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each, taking turns batting and fielding. The game occurs over the course of several plays, with each play generally beginning when a player on the fielding team, called the pitcher, throws a ball that a player on the batting team, called the batter, tries to hit with a bat. The objective of the offensive team (batting team) is to hit the ball into the field of play, away from the other team's players, allowing its players to run the bases, having them advance counter-clockwise around four bases to score what are called " runs". The objective of the defensive team (referred to as the fielding team) is to prevent batters from becoming runners, and to prevent runners' advance around the bases. A run is scored when a runner legally advances around the bases in order and touches home plate (the place where the player started as a batter). The principal objective of the batting team is to have a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
