The Beatles The Wise Guide : Subject to Change Recent hyperspectral imaging of Thomas Jefferson’s rough draft of the Declaration of Independence has clearly confirmed past speculation that Jefferson made an interesting word correction during his writing of the document, according to scientists in the Library of Congress’ Preservation Research and Testing Division (PRTD). Jefferson originally had written the phrase “our fellow-subjects.” But he apparently changed his mind. Over the word “subjects” he inked an alternative, the word “citizens.” The correction seems to illuminate an important moment for Jefferson and for a nation on the eve of breaking from monarchical rule: a moment when he reconsidered his choice of words and articulated the recognition that the people of the fledgling United States of America were no longer subjects of any nation, but citizens of an emerging democracy. Fenella France, a scientist in PRTD, conducted the hyperspectral imaging in the fall of 2009 and discovered a blurred word under “citizens.”
Rememble How the Vikings Worked" It is late morning at a monastery on the coast of Ireland. The year is 817. From the shore comes a cry of alarm -- dragon boats have appeared on the horizon, approaching quickly with wind filling their sails. A monk runs into the monastery to warn the others. This place holds Christian holy relics, gold, tapestries, jewels and spices. It is also home to a small herd of cattle and other livestock, plus two dozen monks and several nuns. Quickly the monks work to hide the holiest of artifacts, to mount some kind of defense, but the Vikings hit the shore with stunning speed. This is the terror that swept much of Europe in the ninth through 11th centuries, the Age of Vikings. Today we're going to strip away the mythology and take a look the real Vikings and the culture that spawned them.

Simeon Stylites Saint Simeon Stylites or Symeon the Stylite (Classical Syriac: ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܐܣܛܘܢܐ šamʻun dasṯonáyá, Ancient Greek: Συμεὼν ὁ στυλίτης Symeon Stylites Arabic: سمعان العمودي semaan al aamoudi ) (c. 388 – 2 September 459) was a Christian ascetic saint who achieved fame for living 37 years on a small platform on top of a pillar near Aleppo in Syria. Several other stylites later followed his model (the Greek word style means pillar). He is known formally as Saint Simeon Stylites the Elder to distinguish him from Simeon Stylites the Younger and Simeon Stylites III. Early life[edit] Simeon was the son of a shepherd.[2] He was born at Sis, now the Turkish town of Kozan in Adana Province. Sis was in the Roman province of Cilicia, and after the separation of the Roman Empire in 395 it became part of the Eastern Roman Empire and Christianity grew quickly there. According to Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrrhus, Simeon developed a zeal for Christianity at the age of 13, following a reading of the Beatitudes.
OurTimeLines.com - Home Page Civil War Photos Play Game Boy Online Unique Roman gladiator ruins unveiled in Austria They lived in cells barely big enough to turn around in and usually fought until they died. This was the lot of those at a sensational scientific discovery unveiled Monday: The well-preserved ruins of a gladiator school in Austria. The Carnuntum ruins are part of a city of 50,000 people 28 miles (45 kilometers) east of Vienna that flourished about 1,700 years ago, a major military and trade outpost linking the far-flung Roman empire's Asian boundaries to its central and northern European lands. Mapped out by radar, the ruins of the gladiator school remain underground. Yet officials say the find rivals the famous Ludus Magnus - the largest of the gladiatorial training schools in Rome - in its structure. "(This is) a world sensation, in the true meaning of the word," said Lower Austrian provincial Governor Erwin Proell. The archaeological park Carnuntum said the ruins were "unique in the world ... in their completeness and dimension." It was definitely a school of hard knocks.
The Labyrinth E-mails from an Asshole Medieval Castle History, Design of Medieval Castles, Haunted Castles: www.medieval-castle.com Musical scale The frequencies 440Hz and 880Hz both correspond to the musical note A, but one octave apart. The next higher A in the musical scale would have the frequency 1760Hz, twice 880Hz. In the western musical scale, there are 12 notes in every octave. Left is a table of the complete musical scale between middle A and A-880. The psychoacoustic properties of the musical scale are fascinating. Frequencies that are harmonically related tend to sound good together. The blue waveform is the sound you hear, which is a combination of the other (pure tone) waveforms. What about 440 × 3 = 1320? For somewhat more arcane reasons, the interval between A and E, which is a frequency rise of 3/2, is called a fifth. Where does the C sharp come from in the major triad? Among all the harmonic relationships in the scale, A, C sharp, and E have among the simplest. A major triad can be written as a sum of sinusoids s(t) = sin(440× 2π t) + sin(554 × 2π t) + sin(659× 2π t). The human ear hears frequencies.
