Symmetry

Students have been learning by leaps and bounds throughout February. Time flies when you’re having fun, and in a leap year! Whether its heart-pumping excitement at the fire department, investigating beyond your average brainteaser, rocking out in geology, or commemorating America by learning from its’ history, students are challenging their academic achievements. This month has been absolutely extraordinary, and we are happy to share with you a little about the wonderful activities your…

In Christianity, we know confess to be sinners and know we all fall short of the glory of God. It has been though that Christianity is some the same as Western Gentiles, from the view of Judaism, but as Winfried Corduan explains it “there is so symmetry in…

Practicum Application No. 2 Many Early Childhood Education teachers now practice the Guidance Approach to class discipline and furthering student development. The pre-kindergarten class in which I observed this practice involves a class of twenty students, one certified teacher, and one paraprofessional. This class had no significant mistaken behavioral issues, measured at a level two or three, at any point in any of my observations with this class over the last three months. Thus, the…

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” features Roderick and Madeline Usher. In the story the Usher twins seem to have completely opposite illnesses. Roderick suffers from hypersensitivity and Madeline suffers from hyposensitivity. Madeline becomes paralyzed so Roderick believes that she is dead. Roderick buries her underneath the house and invites his old childhood friend, the narrator, to come over. Turns out Madeline was never dead, she digs out of the tomb and…

Temples have always been a staple in civilizations through the ages. Though differing in religion, design, even whether or not they are called temples, all notable cultures have built buildings for their religion. This common occurrence offers a prime opportunity to compare cultures. The Ancient Near East, Egyptian, Biblical Israel, and Greek cultures specifically, serve as great examples of the developing times and civilizations. By looking at function, choice of location, construction,…

Herdswoman Familiarity: Timelessness in Art. Amidst the many art styles in Western history, the rococo style stands out as one of the most defining styles. As an evolution from the baroque period, rococo paintings have cemented themselves with asymmetry and pastel colors, evoking playful themes as opposed to political themes of the past. Upon visiting the Dallas Museum of Art, I encountered the rococo painting, Landscape with Distant Buildings and a Herdswoman, while perusing the museum’s…

This applies also in each and every opposite direction, thus leading to formation of a graph which is undirected in nature. Due to this symmetry, the number of solutions possible is halved making life of a user easy! - Asymmetric TSP: Here, in contrast to the above, the distances may not be same as well as the paths may not exist in both directions, which leads to formation of a graph which…

In Saudi Arabia during the classical period Mesopotamia was taken over by the Persians around 500BC (7, 1). The first leader of Persia was Cyrus. He allowed the people he conquered, to keep their religions and cultures. Cyrus was succeeded by his son Cambyses. After Cambyses Darius became the leader. Darius said he was told by god that he was meant to rule (1, 160-161). Darius wanted to make a set of laws that created uniform throughout the empire. After Darius, his son Xerxes became the new…

Not only is Collins’s proposal subpar, his dismissal of her rejection speaks to larger issues within the courtship rules dictated by society, issues that refuse Elizabeth’s right to autonomy and choice. When Elizabeth states, “You could not make me happy, and I am convinced that I am the last woman in the world who could make you so” (PP 100), she prioritizes both of their happinesses where Collins does not, therefore demonstrating that, although society does not give her the power of choice,…

In your opinion, what is the dumbest way someone has ever died? I believe Narcissus consumes the strangest way of becoming extinct. He’s was demi-god who fell in love with his own reflection. He lived in the city of Thespiae. He was the son Cephissus, the river god and the nymph Liriope. Narcissus remained so handsome that both women and men fell in love with him, but he rejected all of them. He didn’t perform a heroic act similar to the other Gods but he left us with an interesting story on how…
