.... I sat down by this rather sloppy scroll of a landscape and found it much more real than anything else there. I selected Along the Wu River. It was done by a man named Shen Zhou who was born in China in 1947 and died in 1509. I liked some of the pieces that were showcased on the floor, but this is the one that I found to be a little mysterious. When I first saw this piece of work I questioned its value and just why it was in the museum because two feet away on either side of it were beautiful inkings and paintings. I looked back in the middle and found this piece of art to be more of a piece of crap. So I looked harder. The work .....

.... "Which smok'd with bloody execution," he is referring to Macbeth's stalwartness in which his sword is covered in the blood of the enemy. After these few references to honor, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of deception and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood." What she is saying by this, is that she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the deeds which she is about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treacherous symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from her and Macbeth to the servants when she says, "smear the sleepy gro .....

.... His father, George Patton, was the son of a brigadier general in command of the 22d Virginia Regiment who was killed at the Battle of Winchester in the Civil War for the Confederacy. His mother, Ruth Wilson, was the daughter of a savage fighter nicknamed “Don Benito� who was very well known for once returning from a battle with Indians, with a basket full of the enemies heads. George Smith Patton Junior was born on November 11, 1885 in San Gabriel, California. Even though George grew up on his father ranch, he learned a lot of things. Here he was taught how to hunt, fish, sail, horseback ride and many things about agriculture. His mot .....

.... flexibility to loosen up the fashion genre. For example on of his early fashion shoots for Vogue 'Young idea goes west' featured Jean Shrimpton in the chaotic urban environment of New York. These photographs epitomized a new street realism and marked a drastic departure from the Static formally posed fashion and portrait photography of the previous decade. Bailey's mapping of the '60s was marked by two collections of portraits; David Bailey's Box of Pin-ups in 1965 and Goodbye Baby and Amen in 1969. Powerful portraits of musicians including Mick Jagger, Lennon and McCartney reflect the stature of these 60s media heroes in these volumes. A .....

.... had become one of the most prosperous and sophisticated towns on the old southern frontier. The city was a booming center of trade, its wharves crowded with boats carrying all manner of goods and commodities. It boasted a municipal orchestra, a Shakespeare repertory company, and an imposing courthouse in the Greek revival style. To its proud citizens, Vicksburg was the "Queen City of the Bluff" and a center, as one of them wrote, of "culture, education and luxury." All this was to change with coming of the war. By early 1862 the peaceful town had become one of the most strategically important spots in the entire Co .....

.... men of inherited positions did not represent the people. All of Europe had experienced the industrial revolution, Russia had precious little machinery. To obtain more advanced machines, the government traded grains to other countries in exchange for machinery, though it meant more people would now starve. Compound this with the devastation and desperation brought on shortly thereafter by the first world war, and there was no confidence left in the government. Liberal constitutionalists wanted to remove the Czar and form a republic; social revolutionists tried to promote a peasant revolution. Marxist promoted a revolution among the pro .....

.... Springfield was located at the intersection of two major roadways. It was also along the banks of the Connecticut River, which made water transport of weapons rather easy. The facility was far enough upstream that the threat of an attack on the facility was rather small. The Connecticut River also provided hydroelectric power to the facility. Another advantage of Springfield was that since it was a struggling village, it was not hard to find employees because at this point, the people of Springfield would take a job wherever they could find it. In the beginning, all of the muskets made were manufactured individually by hand. In 1795, f .....

.... One cause for the Hundred Years' War was the claim to the French throne. The conflict began when the direct line of succession died without a male heir and the nobles decided to pass the crown to a cousin, Philip of Valois. But this left two other male cousins equally deserving of the crown; Charles, King of Navarre and Edward III, King of England. 3 Edward III claimed that he himself was deserving of the throne because his mother was the sister of the late French king, while Philip VI was only a cousin. But according to French law, no women could inherit the throne, nor could the crown be inherited through a woman. 4 "Philip of Valois chanc .....

.... of the friction and disharmony between the two states, which served as a prelude to the Cold War disunity, can be traced back to the First World War. The War, the Russian revolution and the Russian civil war brought the armies of the two powers together for the first time, and paved the way for a continuing struggle for mutual survival, influence and dominance. The fundamental cause of the tension between America and Russia was the conflict of ideologies and incompatibilities between the two massively different societies - communism and capitalism. Therefore, perhaps the best place to start looking for the is the dawn of communism in .....

.... wasn't very smart and couldn't learn, so his mother began to home-school him. Years before that, 's mother had taught him to read (Thomas Alva Biography). One of his main sources of learning came from reading. He came to love reading, particularly science books, but he would read anything he could find. Since he loved to learn, he always carried a book in his pocket (Cousins 22). Another main source for learning came from his lab experiments. Later in his childhood, he built a lab to do science experiments, first in his basement, then on the baggage car of the train he worked on (, Thomas Alva). He liked his experiments because h .....
