Fallacies. What this handout is about This handout discusses common logical fallacies that you may encounter in your own writing or the writing of others. The handout provides definitions, examples, and tips on avoiding these fallacies. Arguments Most academic writing tasks require you to make an argument—that is, to present reasons for a particular claim or interpretation you are putting forward. You may have been told that you need to make your arguments more logical or stronger.

And you may have worried that you simply aren’t a logical person or wondered what it means for an argument to be strong. Learning to make the best arguments you can is an ongoing process, but it isn’t impossible: “Being logical” is something anyone can do, with practice. Each argument you make is composed of premises (this is a term for statements that express your reasons or evidence) that are arranged in the right way to support your conclusion (the main claim or interpretation you are offering).

Within this ancient alternate reality lies a vast medieval realm know as Doraak, filled with adventure, danger and wonders beyond imagination. Almost every type of terrain conceivable can be found within Doraak's ever expanding boundaries..from the icy arctic wastelands to the mine-filled Tahrenian mountain ranges of the dwarves. There are the sprawling grasslands of the west and the great barren deserts of the far south. There are numerous islands in the northern and southern oceans and there are the measureless swamps of the east. There are all these regions, plus hundreds more just waiting to be explored. And throughout all of these lands lie countless ancient forests, some of which are bright and pleasant, yet others are damp, dark and perilous.

In this realm, any path can lead to discovery, adventure...or death! Avendar: The Crucible of Legends. Hottest game news & rumors. Rpg codex > doesn't scale to your level.

Sacred Geometry and the Structure of Music Legend recounts how Orpheus was given a lyre by Apollo. By playing his lyre, Orpheus produced harmonies that joined all of Nature together in peace and joy. Inspired by this Orphic tradition of music and science, Pythagoras of Samos conducted perhaps the world's first physics experiment. By plucking strings of different lengths, Pythagoras discovered that sound vibrations naturally occurred in a sequence of whole tones or notes that repeat in a pattern of seven.

Like the seven naturally occurring colors of the rainbow, the octave of seven tones — indeed, all of Creation — is a singing matrix of frequencies that can be experienced as color, sound, matter, and states of consciousness. This correlation of sound, matter, and consciousness is important. I believe that this matrix of Creation is waiting for us to sound the most harmonious vibrating chord — to sound the universe itself into a perfect, idealized form.
