World Gold Council

“Here you go Clover” I stare at Jeff the zoo keeper, while he drops a gold coin into my tank. When he walks away, I slowly slide down from my perch that was up on top of the fake little rainbow, that they had given me for my tank. I didn’t like the rainbow that much, but I guess it will have to do. In my opinion the rainbows back home were the best. Colors mixed perfectly in the golden rays of the sunlight. The rainbow in my tank was the complete opposite. It had a glare from my warm yellow tank…

just about aesthetics—it also communicates specific information. The Golden Pavilion is a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf. In Japanese culture, golden means something very special. Heaven. Westerns, on the contrary, link the same with something very materialistic. Money. But gold is not the only color that has very different meaning in Japan. In Easter culture, Black symbolizes the combination of all colors of the universe. Black means…

to The Council of Trent The Council of Trent, as Paolo Sarpi recalled in his Istoria del Concilio Tridentino, described the event as the “Iliad of our time” due its long and climatic History. The Council’s Purpose as stated in the bull Laetre Jerusalem, was to “eliminate religious discord and to reform the Christian people.” However it is often discussed how much the Protestant concerns were ignored and overlooked in favor of making very little change in the Church of Rome. The Council…

The significance of the freedom of expression and speech has been recognized by political thinkers already in the 19th century. One of the most prominent supporters of free speech is John Stuart Mill. In his famous work “On Liberty”, the freedom of expression is presented as a key element of both truth prosperity and individual, as well as social, progress .

participants in the Roman economy. This group of people was called the plebeians, which constituted a new political faction that would oppose the dominance of the Patricians in the Senate. During this time, the Plebeians would form their own political council in order to countermand the citizenship of the Patricians. The Concilium Plebis was soon formed as a result of the “conflict of orders” that would challenge the rights of citizenship for Roman workers and lower level merchant classes. This…

There are many people and religious sects that resemble the Scribes and Pharisees from when Jesus was walking the earth. Even though there is plenty of evidence of the events that took place some two thousand years ago, people and religious groups do not believe they had taken place. Some groups that could resemble the Pharisees and Scribes of today lack some of the attributes of the teachers of the past. When Jesus was dealing with the questions of the different religious sects of the day, He…

Some time ago I worked in residential care in Glasgow, here we had separate care teams (A and B). One support worker from our group B (Paul) split up from his civil partner (Den, who had involvements in criminal acts). One day a local newspaper produced an article detailing a criminal court action depicting Den staying next to Paul. Thus caused Paul to be depressed, but myself and the other support workers tried to lift his spirits discovering our temporary group "A" leader (Moira) approached…

My car slowly comes to a halt as I approach the blinking light that serves as the only form of traffic control in this town. Usually, I would just continue down the long stretch of road to my house, but I decide to turn left and venture onto the streets where I spent my childhood. The first building I come upon is my former elementary school. This place was once the center of my life, but it has now been shut down and quickly is becoming dilapidated. I cannot help but notice a somber feeling in…
