Mosaic

and complex in the world. All one needs to do is view “Locked up Abroad” on the Nat Geo channel to come this determination. The Constitution guarantees procedural due process and not immunity to avert justice. Christians are no longer under the Mosaic Law, nevertheless, this does not mean there are no longer temporal punishments delivered by the government; ergo, in order to maintain balance, God knew that tough laws (regardless of a human’s age) needed to be executed due to the sinful nature…

The mosaic, complex and sophisticated structure of the Homo Sapiens body is a unique beauty. However, when witnessing my mother degenerating due to leukaemia, it showed that complexity inevitably meant that problems arise. I became aware of the effects such illness can have on the patient suffering and their families who will be suffering twice as much and appreciate how satisfying being a doctor would be in such difficult circumstances. Having experienced first-hand how varied a doctor’s job…

After the Romans conquered the Greeks’ land, they became captivated by the depth of their culture. Believing it far exceeded their own, they adopted much of the Greeks’ culture. For example, the Greek influences on Roman religion date back far enough that the Romans base their foundation on the story of the Trojan War. Romans adopted a pantheon of gods and goddess. They simply applied their own Roman names to existing Greek deities. The Roman architecture also mimicked the Greek. For…

was never completed because of the eruption. Many scholars agree that the excavation of Pompeii assisted in the neo-Classical Revival in the 1700s. The majority of all the artifacts that survived the eruption are still there today like many of the mosaics and friezes that are tattooed on many of the houses. The most fashionable and the wealthiest families of Europe would decorate their buildings with recreations and sometimes real artifacts from Pompeii…

Dislocation can be of different kinds, physical, psychological, emotional and political. It can be estrangement, self- alienation and social ostracism, an exclusion from familiar environments of family, kinship and culture. It can come through political upheaval, mass migration or natural disaster. It can be individual or collective. But no dislocation is ever absolute, terminal or enduring in itself. In it there is always a kind of holding back, a sort of nostalgia, and the perception of…

The Roman Empire, during its peak, made revolutionary contributions to social, political and cultural customs of the world. Romans were known for their adaptation of other cultures, especially Greek culture, and enhancing them to create a modern society. These enhancements are present in architectural advancements of the Romans, specifically their recreation of Greek baths. Roman baths, and their changes over time, reflect the revolutionary methods of Roman construction, societal structure and…

Throughout history, humans have been on the hunt to discover more about our past ancestors with the intent to reveal more about ourselves and to define what innately makes us human. Although many skeletons and species of Homo have been identified, we have not yet discovered our last common ancestor, and this has been a hot topic of debate. The genus Homo is bookended by Australopithecus afarensis and Homo erectus, the former more ape than human, while the latter was responsible for making stone…

Phase I As a child and up until I was a young man, I was raised in a family with a Presbyterian background. My father was a preacher, and it is of my opinion, you could say he taught hell, fire, and brimstone. My political back ground was scarce, but when discussed was that of Republican. I grew up in a small West Texas town in the mist of the Bible-belt. We were a very poor family, and as a child my father enforced the concept of being conservative and appreciating the gifts that were…

In the world richest biotope, wetlands, and specially floodplains, remain particularly active zones in terms of nutrients, biodiversity, flows spreading, sediment transfer and human activities. Today, these sensitive zones are facing increasing human pressures and augmentation in frequency and intensity of extreme hydrological events. The impact of such extreme events on floodplain ecology and biogeochemistry is still difficult to assess. In this context, hydrodynamic models are attractive tools…

misleading art representations. Eventually, the Byzantine Empire underwent a period of art iconoclasm. This period led to the restriction of many religious arts, which until then, had been their main form of artistic expression. Many famous apse mosaics were destroyed during this time. This period was eventually overturned and their fame for religious arts continued, eventually influencing Islamic art. Muslim artists were then trained in Byzantine styles and Byzantine artists continued to be…
