Roman Numerals

Roman Numerals
The Romans were active in trade and commerce, and from the time of learning to write they needed a way to indicate numbers. The system they developed lasted many centuries, and still sees some specialized use today. Roman numerals traditionally indicate the order of rulers or ships who share the same name (i.e. Queen Elizabeth II). They are also sometimes still used in the publishing industry for copyright dates, and on cornerstones and gravestones when the owner of a building or the family of the deceased wishes to create an impression of classical dignity.

(May 1929), replacing his existing character Kull of Atlantis with his new hero, and retitling it "The Phoenix on the Sword". Howard also wrote "The Frost-Giant's Daughter", inspired by the Greek myth of Daphne,[citation needed] and submitted both stories to Weird Tales magazine.

The publication and success of "The Tower of the Elephant" would spur Howard to write many more Conan stories for Weird Tales.

La magie de l'empathie | Yves Dalpé | Coin du psy L'empathie n'est pas naturelle pour la plupart des gens. Elle exige un dur apprentissage qui demande le sacrifice de ses propres réactions spontanées au profit d'une connexion rehaussée avec les autres. Les parents deviennent plus adéquats. Les conjoints s'aiment plus. Le mot «empathie» n'était qu'un mot technique réservé à la psychologie dans les années 60, et depuis ce temps, j'ai été témoin de son utilisation de plus en plus répandue dans le langage courant. C'est Carl Rogers, l'un des grands psychologues du XXe siècle, qui a attiré l'attention sur l'empathie en démontrant qu'elle était essentielle en psychothérapie. Selon Rogers, cette attitude centrée sur l'autre rend cet autre plus confortable dans le contact interpersonnel et, à la longue, elle favorise son développement. De toutes mes compétences en psychothérapie, c'est encore l'empathie que je privilégie en rencontrant mes clients, qu'ils me consultent individuellement ou en couples.
