... also had Greek influence as seen in the entasis of the wooden columns (Tansey, Kleiner 534). The Chinese influence continued through the eleventh century with Phoenix Hall at Uji being an example of the most elegant of Chinese-inspired architecture in Japan (Tansey, Kleiner 537). Like its name, the design of the building with its wide multiple roofs resembles a flying bird. The slim columns and the reflection from the pond add to the illusion of flight (Tansey, Kleiner 537). Beginning in the twelfth century the Zen tea ceremony became very popular and gave rise to teahouse architecture. This architecture focused on simplicity and nature (Tansey, Kleiner 541). It ...
... complain about a bad memory, but in most of these cases these people never took the time to learn whatever they thought they could remember. Most scientists believe there is no such thing as a good or bad memory, only good and bad learners. Depending on the amount of attention a person gives to something depends on how well a person will remember that fact or event. Beginning at the age of 50, people of similar ages begin to differentiate more and more from one another in their mental performance. Some memories drop noticeably, but many stay the same or even rise. Most investigators agree that no mental decline occurs before the age of 65 or 70 that affects a perso ...
... was a Prophet. This did not seem to please God. Numbers 12:2 reads, "Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" and the Lord heard this."(NIV) Miriam and Aaron were complaining in this passage. God was angry when He learned this. This is why He told them the definition of a Prophet. Miriam and Aaron stood outside the tent along side of Moses. God summoned for Miriam and Aaron. It then says that He tells them what a Prophet is. This is the first time in the Bible that God actually tells us the guidelines of prophecy. The definition of this is found in Numbers 12:6-8. It reads: "He said listen to my words: When the Prophe ...
... transmission, struggling to keep a place in an ever changing world. How do memes work ? Think of your mind as an environment. A new idea arrives: "make your own bread with a breadmaker." Your neighbor’s mind environment may love Wonderbread, and be very hostile to breadmaking. However, he may fervently believe that OJ is innocent. You, on the other hand, may have a mind environment where breadmaking thrives, along with "OJ was guilty". So we see that a meme is nothing more than a pattern of information, one that happens to have evolved a form which induces people to repeat that pattern. Typical memes include individual slogans, ideas, catch-phrases, me ...
... some yeast, and some plants, like the dandelion. In the 1960's, frogs were cloned by a scientist, John Gurdon. A nuclear transfer was used for success. In 1997 geneticists in Scotland said that they had for the first time cloned an adult mammal a ewe. They used a technique called nuclear transfer where they removed the nucleus from an egg cell, and with an electric pulse fused the denucleated egg cell with a whole cell. The electric pulse also stimulates the egg to start dividing which makes it become an embryo. The embryo is implanted in a surrogate mother. Then it grows in the mother, and there you have it, a perfect clone. In 1997, scientists have cloned ...
... than He is (existing only in the understanding). Based on that supposition, God is not the being than which none greater is possible. If Anselm’s initial definition of God is substituted into the previous inference, it becomes a contradictory statement: the being than which none greater is possible is not the being than which none greater is possible. Therefore Anselm supposition that God exists only in the understanding is false. By proving this to be invalid Anselm has, in effect, proven that God must exist in the understanding and reality. This final conclusion, that God must exist in reality, is the goal of Anselm’s argument. Chapters III ...
... alike. Finally after murdering his boss and marrying his boss's girlfriend, he's crowned drug kingpin. Tony starts having legal problems and rather than do time, his supplier Sosa offered to take care of the court case if Tony would take an assassin with him to New York to eliminate one of his enemies. This was the begging of the end for Tony Montana. The man who was supposed to be eliminated had his wife and kids in the car with him. Tony was against killing women and children but the assassin wouldn’t listen to him; so Tony shot him. Tony's decline was caused by his twisted sense of brotherhood. When Sosa learned of this he was furious. He sent a smal ...
... up. The mood in Thebes changed from joyous to somber for the king chose to have his own son killed so that he could remain alive. Considering the situation from Laius’ point of view, it is not difficult to understand his actions but the mere fact that he tried to challenge fate causes his actions to seem ironic and cynical. By tinkering with fate, Laius caused the death of Jocasta, and Oedipus’ blindness and banishment in addition to the events caused by fate. In Antigone, Anouilh portrayed Creon in a similar way as Sophocles portrayed Laius. They both contributed more damage than benefit to the protagonists and their families with their “noble intentions ...
... from education, from communication to other people, but in reality they are not isolated. The internet gives variety. It might not give physical opportunity to visit Japan or Russia, but it gives almost the same emotional and cultural experiences. A person does not have to read a newspaper on the train or go to an art gallery to be cultured and not seem isolated; a person just has to do what feels right at a certain time. The Internet also gives a misconception about communication. Internet is a different world that has the idea of communication in a different perspective. To communicate people don’t have to see one another, or hear one another they just hav ...
... give me the portion of goods that falleth to me” (8-9). He wants his inheritance in advance, which seems inappropriate and is an obvious foreshadowing of the mistakes that are to come. It quickly becomes evident that the boy’s inexperience with money will lead to his downfall when Jesus tells that he gathers all together and takes “his journey to a far country” (9). He is out to live the good life as he wastes “his substance with riotous living” (9). This sinful life he is living would bring shame to his family, especially his father. This father/son relationship can already be associated with the God/man relationship. Man lives a sinful li ...
