Crossword puzzles and Sudoku in their own respect present different difficulties. As a young girl I have fond memories of my grandfather sitting at the table every morning completing his crossword puzzle before doing anything else. I, on the other hand prefer neither of the puzzles. If I had to choose, the Sudoku was easier to complete. There is a definite psychological answer as to why I particularly feel this way, and why I believe that one is easier to complete than the other. I found the crossword
The Pen Mortality is a fact of life for everyone and has been since Creation. As humans, we have the intelligence to realize and understand this because we possess the ability to reason and to learn. This ability, when combined with the presence of Life that keeps us in existence, beckons us to secure the future in some way and for some reason(s). We need not only the chance at life beyond our own which comes with the birth of our children, but also to leave our own names, our own ideas and beliefs
Inventor of Modern Musical Notation: Guido d’Arezzo Musical notation is a form of writing or printing of musical notes, symbols and staves to visually represent aurally perceived music played with instruments or sung by the human voice. Various styles of music results in various different music notation methods too. For example, classical music performers use staves and note heads on sheet music, while country music musicians use Nashville Number System. Although many ancient cultures used symbols
Without a doubt, two of the most notable and important religious buildings in the world are the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, Italy. Both of these buildings were built to be the greatest structures of their time, meant to symbolize the strength and reach of Christianity as a whole. Their innovative architectural styles and grand aspirations laid the groundwork for them becoming the ultimate status symbols of power and tradition within the religious world throughout
Although The Garden of Earthly Delights, a triptych painted by the Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch on the turn of the 15th century, and the Psalter map, a 1262 mappa mundi found in a collection of psalms (hence the name Psalter) may not seem to have much in common, perhaps their biggest similarity is their goal: a representation of the world, an ambition that is all the more visible in its large scope. In this analysis, I will analyse and then compare the visual elements of both works and also
Introduction Cartography in the period between 1250 and 1550 is defined by the Age of Discovery, and most notably the discovery of the New World in 1492. This period begins with the Portuguese claiming of Madeira in 1419, and continues until the 16th to 17th century. This essay will argue that Eurocentrism is the imposition of European culture and perspective upon the other nations of the world, and that maps over this time period became more Eurocentric by aiding in this process. European world
Bernard Brady reflects on similar aspects that comprise a good law, many of which are closely related to the works of Thomas Aquinas. Dr. Brady remarks on what Isidore of Seville, a theologian, believes to be the most important characteristics of a good law: “Law shall be virtuous, just, possible to nature, according to the custom of the country, suitable to place and time, necessary, useful; clearly expressed, lest
The Lothar Crystal, also known as the Susanna Crystal or London Crystal is one of the most highly skilled extant examples of Carolingian engraving ever created and currently apart of the British Museum’s collection. Created in a style that appears to have already dwindling It is a single lentoid of clear quartz that measures some four and a half inches (11.5cm) in diameter and depicts the biblical scenes of Susanna’s Judgement from Daniel 13. There are some very fine flaws running horizontally through
There is evidence of glass making from as early as 4000 BC. Back then it was mostly used for the coating of stone beads. It was 1500 BC when the first hollow glass container was made. It was made by covering a sand core with a layer of molten glass. It was during the First Century BC that glass blowing became more common. At this time glass was high coloured due to the impurities of the raw materials that were used to make it. The first recorded colourless glass was made in First Century AD. The
The four words constituting the first line of Inferno 34, however, are and are not Virgil's own words. On the most obvious level, these words are his own in that the text attributes them to him. At the same time, they are not his, since they are a quotation of the first line of a hymn by Venantius Fortunatus.3 And yet, the last word, inferni, must be attributed to Virgil under all respects, for he utters it without borrowing it from the hymn that Venantius Fortunatus wrote in honor of the cross and
