			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term art galleries is used interchangeably between an actual art gallery where art is exhibited and sold for a profit and an art museum where collections of art are merely exhibited for the enjoyment and education of patrons. For the purposes of this introduction to art galleries, the former will be used. Although some of the most famous and important works of art are exhibited in art museums around the world, they are not for sale. The exhibiting of art for the purpose of sale is the major function of the commercial art gallery.</p>
<p>A commercial art gallery exhibits art for the enjoyment of the patrons, but the art is also for sale. This means that the collections in an art gallery are changing quite frequently as works are purchased and removed from the exhibit. The gallery will often have special exhibits featuring individual artists whose works are the centerpiece of special events. In most cases, the art galleries make their profits from taking a commission on the sale of the exhibited art, although in some cases, admission is charged. This is fairly rare in the commercial art gallery business, however.</p>
<p>The majority of work exhibited in art galleries are visual art with paintings being the most common form. Some galleries also exhibit other types of art such as sculpture and photography also. Some galleries that specialize in sculpture are also known as sculpture gardens and those that specialize in photographs are known as photo galleries. The term art gallery is most often used in place of these terms and many galleries feature all of the various forms of art.</p>
<p>The expression contemporary art gallery does not refer to a style of art, but is used to describe the modern commercial for-profit art gallery. The term is used to distinguish it from the art museum. Many contemporary art galleries tend to be clustered together in certain districts in larger cities. Greenwich Village in New York City is an example of this although most medium sized cities will usually have at least one gallery for local artists.</p>
<p>There are also art galleries that are artist collectives and not run for profit, but as a place for the artist to exhibit their own works. Regardless of the type, art galleries and art museums offer the public a chance to enjoy art of all kinds and also the commercial galleries allow them the opportunity to take some of that art home with them to add to their own collections.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The well known Mozart Effect was first published in 1993 by the University of California&#8217;s scientists at Irvine. Such controversial publication replicated further in the 1995 by the same group. It was started with their study on some college students. Those who listened to the piano sonata that is composed by the well known classical composer, Wolfgang Amadues Mozart, for a few minutes before having a test performed better than those who didn&#8217;t listen.</p>
<p>However, this particular study did not look at the Mozart effect on babies. Based on this study, politicians and the media proclaim that listening to classical music could improve someone&#8217;s physical as well as mental health and gives them many benefits. This is where they believe that classical music especially the piano sonata of Mozart could increase the intelligence of the baby.</p>
<p>In 1998, the Georgia governor had encouraged to freely give CDs for every mother who has just delivered her precious baby once they have checked out from the hospital in the particular state. In Florida, daycare centers were told to play classical music symphonies through their sound system.</p>
<p>But, other scientists tried their best to find out the true answer over such study. The result is that listening to classical music could not possibly make a baby become smarter; however such effort would definitely have the effect of calming the baby while in the mother&#8217;s womb.</p>
<p>Although scientists have finally stated that classical music do not have significant impact on the baby&#8217;s intelligence, as a pregnant mother you still can use it to help you relaxing and soothing your baby.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Poetry is all about combination, and so are fire pits. Poetry combines tangled words and weaves them together to form a meaning that is clear. Fire pits involve combination, too. They take something as primitive as fire and encase it in a human-built home that accents the natural beauties of fire and the human beauties of craftsmanship.</p>
<p>Poets can encourage the inspiration by inviting friends to gather around for a conversation. Don&#8217;t forget to bring plenty of good food. The conversation can be playful, intellectual, funny, or even silent, with only non-verbal communication and enjoyment. The important thing in the get-together is that everyone is in a creative frame of mind and the poet is setting the tone of the evening. A poetry reading around the fire would be another great way to get the creative mood flowing through the get-together. If no one is in the mood to hear each other, music is a great way to let everyone share in different moods without having to speak.</p>
<p>A poet could write about the fire pit itself, conversations inspired by the get-together, the great food that is sure to be there, the moonlight or sunlight that hits the crowd, or any other event that might take place during this friendly outing. The entire atmosphere is one of creativity, natural beauty, and human ingenuity, with a little symbolism thrown into the mix to make things perfect for everyone involved.</p>
<p>Poetry is as old as human writing itself. The fire pit isn&#8217;t quite as old, but rest assured that it will be around for ages to come. It&#8217;s simply beautiful to look at and easy to build a get-together around. Poetry is the art and the pit is the inspiration and if used properly can be a terrific recipe for human creativity. For more information on poetry, the internet is always ample ground for research. If a poem is produced by one of your enchanted evenings, there&#8217;s always a poetry contest happening somewhere to give it a home.</p>
