Gypsum based plaster used in spray fireproofing in a low-rise industrial building in Vancouver, British Columbia. The plaster provides a layer of insulation to retard heat flow into structural steel elements, that would otherwise lose their strength and collapse in a fire. Fireproofing is an integral part of passive fire protection and thus subject to stringent bounding. Plaster of Paris, or simply plaster, is a type of building material based on calcium sulfate hemihydrate (gypsum), nominally CaSO4 · 0.5H2O. It is created by heating gypsum to about 150ºC. - CaSO4 · 2H2O → CaSO4 · 0.5H2O + 1.5H2O (released as steam).
A large gypsum deposit at Montmartre in Paris is the source of the name.[1] When the dry plaster powder is mixed with water, it re-forms into gypsum, initially as a paste but eventually hardening into a solid. The structure consists of sheets of Ca²+ and SO4²- ions held together by hydrogen bonds in the water molecules. The grip between these sheets is easily broken, so plaster is fairly soft. Plaster is used as a building material similar to mortar or cement. Like those materials plaster starts as a dry powder that is mixed with water to form a paste, which then hardens. Unlike those materials plaster remains quite soft after drying, and can be easily manipulated with metal tools or even sandpaper. These characteristics make plaster suitable for a finishing, rather than a load-bearing material. - 1 Use in room interiors

Rodin's The Thinker A statue is a sculpture depicting a specific entity, usually a person, event, animal or object. Its primary concern is representational. A small statue is called statuette. A statue of just a head and shoulders is a bust not to be confused with the anatomical part of the female body referring to the chest or the part of a dress. Many statues are built on commission to commemorate a historical event, or the life of an influential person. Many statues are intended as public art, exhibited outdoors or in public buildings for the edification of passers-by, with a larger magnitude than normal words could ever have for the common man. On rare occasions, statues themselves become historic and inspire their own historic events. In 1986, when the Statue of Liberty marked her one-hundredth anniversary, a three-day centennial celebration in her honor attracted 12 million, said to have been the largest public event in the world as of that date. The guest list was unique. "We invited all the great statues of the world to her birthday party and created giant puppets to represent them," said Jeanne Fleming, director of the event. "Each one arrived accompanied by native music." There is an urban legend concerning a code for mounted statues, whereby the horse's hooves are supposed to indicate how the rider met his end. One hoof off the floor would indicate the rider died of wounds received in battle, or perhaps was just wounded in battle; two hooves off the floor would indicate the rider was killed in battle. An examination of the equestrian statues in most major European cities shows this is not true. If it ever was true, the practice appears to have died out in the 19th century.
