Properly inform definition12/9/2023 "I remember going to Egypt for the first time and just being astounded by the number of baboons being depicted on temple walls, or in the tombs of nobles you'd see large statues of baboons at various temples. They raid your crops, they destroy your livelihood, they are harbingers of disease," Dominy said. And it's because, in general, baboons are not well-liked. "Throughout Africa, you'll see loads of elephants and giraffes, and all kinds of products representing animals, but very rarely baboons. "It's so spot on, how they hold the postures, and the different behaviors - they must have observed them in their natural habitats, but we don't know why, or how." Pesky baboons, a godly embodimentĪnthropologist Nathaniel Dominy from Dartmouth College, who collaborated with Kopp on the study, told Insider that baboons are often conspicuously missing from African artworks of the time due to their reputation as pests in their natural habitats but they hold special significance in Egypt. "From the way that they're presented in the artwork, they must have observed the baboons in their natural habitat," Kopp said. So, too, is precisely how Egyptians came to know of baboons in the first place since they weren't native to the region. Kopp told Insider the exact methods behind importing the primates to Egypt, raising them, and then eventually mummifying them remains unclear. Specimen EA 6738, held by the British Museum: Skull of a mummified baboon recovered from Thebes, Egypt and connected isotopically to Eritrea/Ethiopia/Somalia. We hypothesize that Punt and Adulis are two different names for the same place that were used at different points in time," Kopp wrote in a research paper published earlier this month, adding: "It was only after we put our biological findings in the context of historical research that the story really came together." Geographically, however, it fits Adulis, a location that, centuries later, was known as a trading place, also for primates. "The specimen we studied fits chronologically with the last known expeditions to Punt. The exact location of Punt, Kopp told Insider, has long puzzled researchers due to references to the town being found in significant texts and artwork but not found on existing maps. However, Kopp's baboon was preserved long before the ancient city of Adulis flourished as a key trading center and port, where animals like baboons and leopards were frequently bought and sold.Īncient texts from the same time period suggest Kopp's baboon likely originated in a city called Punt. The genetics of Kopp's baboon were compared to another sample that originated from the coastal region in Eritrea, where, in ancient times, the port of Adulis was likely located. The mummy Kopp extracted DNA from - estimated to date back to between 800 and 500 BCE - corroborated findings that the Horn of Africa was the baboons' region of origin when compared with a similar sample that had previously been unearthed. Kopp's discovery is the first time ancient DNA from a mummified non-human primate has successfully been analyzed to this extent. After testing ten different specimens and being able to extract DNA from just a single one, Gisela Kopp, a biologist from the University of Konstanz, utilized a new method of genetic analysis on DNA from the specimen to trace its origins. Science has finally advanced enough to answer some lingering questions about the baboons. The creatures were missing their ferocious canine teeth, but, unlike other mummified baboon specimens found from the same timeframe, they were neither entombed with noblemen of the time nor found in group catacombs, raising questions for decades about how they got there - and why. The mummified hamadryas baboons were found in 1905, eroding out of the valley of the monkeys - an archaeological site at Luxor's western bank of the Nile known for its depictions of baboons on tomb walls discovered nearby. In studying the curious creatures, researchers on the project also believe they have revealed new evidence that Punt and Adulis, two legendary trading regions that shaped the world's economic and geopolitical structure, may have been the same place in the coastal region in Eritrea- separated by a thousand years of history. New research on the mysterious remains of mummified baboons, found far from their natural habitat over a hundred years ago in Egypt, has shed light on the sacred significance of the primates in the ancient Arabian Peninsula.

Entertaining ourselves to death book12/9/2023 Here are my chapter-by-chapter thoughts/reactions: But I think the book does good justice to Postman's work in decades past and Strate does a good job helping update the conversation and draw the contribution of other voices in alongside Postman's. There are some interesting implications liturgically and societally which I'd love to toss around. I'm looking forward to picking it apart and discussing it in an upcoming seminar. In the end, I greatly enjoyed the book and found its contents quite thought-provoking. The relationship between medium and message is nowhere more poignant than in the church. I think pastors would also benefit from reading this, especially if they find themselves utilizing or wrestling with transmitting their services or sermons. No quarters are spared and almost every corner of society is touched upon. The research is rich and the analysis incisive. I would encourage teachers and educators to read this book - just be prepared, it's a mouthful. It was intriguing reading this book after having just finished Postman's Technopoly, which is referenced rather frequently in this book (though not as much as Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death). This is definitely the sort of book I enjoy, and its exploration of our culture and technology's transformative effect upon it was insightful and illuminating. Stepping back from the book, a slight grin plays at the corners of my mouth. This is a book about our prospects for the future, which can only be based on the ways in which we think and talk about the present. Strate also contextualizes Amusing Ourselves to Death through an examination of Postman’s life and career and the field of media ecology that Postman introduced. Integrating Postman’s arguments about television with his critique of technology in general, Strate considers the current state of journalism, politics, religion, and education in American culture. Lance Strate, who earned his doctorate under Neil Postman and is one of the leading media ecology scholars of our time, re-examines Postman’s arguments, updating his analysis and critique for the twenty-first-century media environment that includes the expansion of television programming via cable and satellite as well as the Internet, the web, social media, and mobile technologies. Neil Postman’s most popular work, Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985), provided an insightful critique of the effects of television on public discourse in America, arguing that television’s bias towards entertaining content trivializes serious issues and undermines the basis of democratic culture. Face real shroud of turin12/9/2023 The plant DNA came from all over the world, the researchers reported Oct. In the current study, Barcaccia and his colleagues analyzed dust that they vacuumed from the shroud that contained traces of both plant and human DNA. The neutron burst not only would have thrown off the radiocarbon dating but also would have led to the darkened imprint on the shroud. So geologists have argued that an earthquake at Jesus' death could have released a burst of neutrons. What's more, the Gospel of Matthew notes that "the earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open" after Jesus was crucified. (Isotopes are forms of an element with a different number of neutrons.)īut critics argued that the researchers used patched-up portions of the cloth to date the samples, which could have been much younger than the rest of the garment. 1390, lending credence to the notion that it was an elaborate fake created in the Middle Ages. Centuries later, in the 1980s, radiocarbon dating, which measures the rate at which different isotopes of the carbon atoms decay, suggested the shroud was made between A.D. 1353, when it showed up in a tiny church in Lirey, France. However, the Catholic Church only officially recorded its existence in A.D. 1204, the cloth was smuggled to safety in Athens, Greece, where it stayed until A.D. After crusaders sacked Constantinople in A.D. 30 or 33, and was housed in Edessa, Turkey, and Constantinople (the name for Istanbul before the Ottomans took over) for centuries. Īccording to legend, the shroud was secretly carried from Judea in A.D. Though the Catholic Church has never taken an official stance on the object's authenticity, tens of thousands flock to Turin, Italy, every year to get a glimpse of the object, believing that it wrapped the bruised and bleeding body of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. On its face, the Shroud of Turin is an unassuming piece of twill cloth that bears traces of blood and a darkened imprint of a man's body.

Irish celtic harp12/9/2023 Conversely, a pedal style uses pedals rather than levers to alter the key. The lever (folk) harp derives its name from the fact that its mechanism is organised in a way that allows the keys to be changed via the various levers that are an integral part of the instrument and that can pushed against the strings to make them shorter. The heritage of several other surviving instruments remains unclear, though it is thought that they could also have their origins in Scotland. It is thought that all three were made in Argyll, Scotland. These include the Trinity College Harp (on display at Trinity College in Dublin) and the Queen Mary Harp and the Lamont Harp (which can both be found at Edinburgh’s National Museum of Scotland and are excellent examples of a low-headed style crafted from hornbeam). Three out of the four most ancient instruments that have survived to the present day date from the 15th century. However, by the early 1800s it was thankfully undergoing something of a revival in Ireland. Yet by the middle 1700s the fiddle had largely supplanted the harp, which almost sounded the death knell for the instrument. During medieval times, this wire-strung instrument remained in high demand all over the Gaelic world and was intrinsic to courtly life. While the design is not wholly clear, it is thought by some to have been the precursor to the Irish ‘clairseach’ (in Scottish Gaelic ‘clarsach’) that described the triangular-shaped instrument that eventually supplanted the cruit. The very first Gaelic instrument was called a ‘cruit’. The ancestry of the harp is much discussed among experts, and no one definitive consensus has yet been reached. History of the Irish Harp Mairead Murphy of Traditional Irish Folk Group Dúnaill playing the Celtic Harp. Its history can be traced back for literally thousands of years, and it has played a pivotal role in the culture, religion, politics and society of the Celtic people. The Celtic harp is intimately associated with the Celtic culture and Irish Traditional Music from medieval times right up to the present day. Elaine Hogan performing on stage at the 2017 Doolin Folk Festival. And, of course, it is the national and very evocative emblem of Ireland, a symbol that instantly brings to mind the Emerald Isle and the wonderful Irish traditional music that is so associated with it. It is synonymous with the Celtic ruling elite, as in those days it was regarded as an instrument of high status. This large, triangular-shaped, wire-strung instrument is notoriously difficult to master, and as such is played by instrumentalists of the very highest order. It is indigenous to the following countries, where it has a name in each dialect (noted in parenthesis): Brittany (‘telenn’), Scotland (‘clarsach’), Wales (‘telyn’) and Ireland (‘clairsech’). The Celtic Harp is known by a number of names, including the Irish, the Folk, and the Lever. Emer Mallon of Connla in action on the Celtic Harp.

Olivia wilde and harry styles in italy12/8/2023 Later, he drove down to Italy in his late stepdad’s car with a friend, listening to the jazz CDs left behind. When flying became an option, Styles came home to London. He took inspiration from Haruomi Hosono’s 1973 LP, Hosono House, which he first heard when he lived in Japan years ago, and treated the songs like they were an internal monologue, traversing a day in his life. “It just felt like sitting at home doing nothing might feel better if we all move in together and try to make some music.” Before they knew it, they were making Harry’s House, a revelatory statement that happens to be his most radio-friendly album to date. “We didn’t really know what we were going in for,” he says. Rick Rubin’s Malibu studio, Shangri-La, was available, so Styles moved in with longtime producers and co-writers Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson. They’d “go for walks, cook dinner, wash the lettuce, all that kind of stuff,” he says, until he decided to use his downtime productively and began writing new material. Less than a year later, he won his first Grammy for it.Īs the pandemic deepened, Styles ended up back in Los Angeles, where he keeps a home, and moved in with three friends. While we were bound to our homes, Styles experienced his first Number One hit in Fine Line’s “Watermelon Sugar,” a tune so sweet it may take a moment to realize he’s singing about cunnilingus. Styles didn’t get to play live again until last fall, but something funny happened in the interim. I kind of felt like, ‘All right, I’ve seen how crazy it can get.’ And I think there was something about it where I was … not terrified, but I just needed a minute. “After One Direction, I didn’t expect to ever experience anything new. “We came offstage, and I went into my dressing room and just wanted to sit by myself for a minute,” he tells me, two months later. When he played it, the crowd exploded in a way even Styles had never experienced. The crowd that May night covered Long Island’s UBS Arena in feathers and glitter and tears - a ritualistic skin shedding of sorts whenever Styles comes to town.įans noticed something different about the encore: Styles didn’t end with his usual closer, “Kiwi” instead, he opted to finish the night with a second performance of his new single “As It Was,” his dance-through-the-tears pandemic reflection on isolation and change. It wasn’t just any show it was the first time he performed his third and soon-to-be-biggest album, Harry’s House, in its entirety. On a Friday night in New York, Harry Styles put on a show.
