to the Zatopec inscriptions, the Totalrec were a people who engaged in raiding parties, invading the Zatopec highlands, stealing precious materials and artifacts, and disappearing back into the area “between the mountains and the great sea where the sun sets”. The Totalrec coexisted with the Nanosec people and engaged in limited trade with them from roughly 960 AD to 1440 AD; items given to the Nanosec included the elaborate black ware known as Nova Embossed pottery and jaguar figurines, an…

cosmological authority: And I appointed the sun over the illumination of the day, but the moon and stars over the illumination of the night. And the sun goes in accordance with each animal, and the twelve animals are the succession of the months. And I assigned their names and the animals of their seasons, and their connection with the newborn, and their horoscopes, and how they revolve. Then evening came and morning came—the fifth day.…

astronomers and the scientist chose the far side of moon to place radio telescopes. It is predicted that on the far side of the moon, there will be extremely high concentration of helium-3 because the solar wind, the stream continuously flows come from the Sun with the speed of 400 km/s, containing lots of plasma, electrons, protons and charged particles, was stopped by the Earth’ magnetic shield [14]. Therefore, it naturally forms a perfect surrounding…

conditioning. The Smithsons stated that “The stress is on the needs for immediacy of response and reaction to the changeable weather of England; the almost constant need for full or partial weather protection […] Northern Europe involves us inevitably in sun acceptance, amelioration of climate and, above all, of exclusion of rain.” (Smithson and Smithson, 2001) Case study – Upper Lawn Pavilion The Upper Lawn Pavilion, located in Wiltshire, Great Britain was built in 1962. It was a small “Climate…

Humans know a lot about space from years of research and scientific discovery, but there is still a lot that is unknown. Our human curiosity and ambition has combined over the years to advance our pursuit the discovery of new astronomical findings. One such ongoing effort is the Voyager Program. Two space probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, were launched in the late 1970s to collect data about our solar system. Voyager 2 was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on August 20, 1977. Voyager 1 was…

I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…

In The Metamorphoses of Ovid, Ovid interprets etiological myths focusing on desires’ impact on the human form. I will focus on the daughters of Minyas and the stories they tell during this essay. All of the characters in these passages have a desire that cannot be fulfilled because their human form or human social conventions place limitations on them. Refusing to live with their desires unfulfilled, the characters’ attempt to push the limits, but are always met with resistance. Unable to…

It started out a nice spring day, a little dampness on the grass outside. When you walked outside you could feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and the sound of the birds in the distance. To me it was like any other day, but one thing happened. One thing that I needed to work with myself and the surroundings to make sure that I lived. Starting from the beginning, I woke up with a day off of work thinking “ What can I do today?”. I normally take my time getting up and doing all my morning…

Driving the double paddle in the sea, you see them clustered into the haze while riding over the oyster bed. Light filters down below where the frilly oysters lay. You grab your two ropes, one tied to a heavy stone and one to a basket. You slip your feet over the side into the water that’s oily smooth, and the rocks carry you to the bottom. The bubbles rise behind you until the water is clear enough for you to see, while moving so cautiously so that the water will not be obscure with mud or sand…

What blacks longed for most, beauty and acceptance, was much like the sun—unattainable. They craved to feel the bliss of the white sun rays shining down on them as they looked at it with their sensitive, blue eyes. Instead, the touch of the sun burned them if they stepped out of the shadows. Donald B. Gibson, through his writing of Text and Countertext in the Bluest Eye, stepped into the shadows that were created by racism and elaborated upon the ideas Toni Morrison introduced in The Bluest Eye.…
