...rational thought of the Neo-Classicists. The Neo-Classical art period (like many art periods) evolved from a previous art period -in rebellion from it. This art period, however, is different from most in that it wasn’t invented by the active artists of the time. It was, perhaps, the first art movement started by writers and theoreticians (Lucie, 1992). German scholar and leading propagandist for the Neo-Classical movement, Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768) deplored the Rococo style, which was all the rage in Dresden, where he worked. In his pamphlet, Thoughts on the Imitation of Greek Works in Painting and Sculpture, he said that the modern artists could only become great again by imitating Greek art (Stokstad, 2005). Cardinal Alessandro Albani (1692-1779), who possessed a large collection of ancient art (sculpture, cameos, vases, etc.), hired Winckelmann to become his secretary and librarian. In doing so, he solidified his position as the top expert on Classical art. Artist (and friend of Winckelmann) Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-1770) was commissioned by Cardinal Albani to paint the ceiling of the villa where the massive art collection was house and displayed. This painting, The...

...Alessandro Scarlatti (2 May 1660 – 24 October 1725) Alessandro Scarlatti was an Italian Baroque composer especially famous for his operas and chamber cantatas. He is considered the founder of the Neapolitan school of opera. He was the father of two other composers, Domenico Scarlatti and Pietro Filippo Scarlatti. Life Scarlatti was born in Palermo, then part of the Kingdom of Sicily. He is generally said to have been a pupil of Giacomo Carissimi in Rome, and some theorize that he had some connection with northern Italy because his early works seem to show the influence of Stradella and Legrenzi. The production at Rome of his opera Gli Equivoci nell sembiante (1679) gained him the support of Queen Christina of Sweden (who at the time was living in Rome), and he became her Maestro di Cappella. In February 1684 he became 'Maestro di Cappella to the viceroy of Naples, perhaps through the influence of his sister, an opera singer, who might have been the mistress of an influential Neapolitan noble. Here he produced a long series of operas, remarkable chiefly for their fluency and expressiveness, as well as other music for state occasions. In 1702 Scarlatti left Naples and did not return until the Spanish domination had been superseded by that of the Austrians. In the interval he enjoyed the patronage of Ferdinando de' Medici, for whose private theatre near Florence he composed operas, and of Cardinal Ottoboni, who made him his maestro di cappella, and procured him a similar...

...I love the idea of how batteries work, but I never looked into who invented it. As soon as I noticed that Alessandro Volta was an option I thought it would be a fun assignment to learn about him. Volta was a physicist, chemist, and a pioneer of electrical science. He contributed to today by inventing the electric battery, discovering methane and internal discussion. He not only did those things he was also able to apply part of his last name as part of potential energy term for the battery “Volts.” Volta was born in Como, Lombardy, Italy on February 18, 1745. His parents’ names were Donna Maddalena, who came from a family of Counts and Filippo Volta, who came from a noble lineage. His parents had seven children who survived childhood....

...Final Investigatory Project for Group 5 I. Problems and Setting A. Introduction Batteries, years ago, have taken the world by a storm and have since than became a necessity in one’s household. Sadly, even though they are tremendously useful, batteries have drawbacks, such as semi- affordable costs, limited shelf life and pollution. Our group had an idea on how to make an alternative to this that would not only work like the real thing but would also be healthy to our environment and light in our pockets. This idea turned out to be realty and became the main goal of our Investigatory Project. B. Problems Finding an item that is easy to obtain and at the same time affordable, simple and earth- friendly is not an easy task. After a lot of thought, our group decided to use one of the objects that is almost always present in our daily lives: fruits and vegetables. Will these everyday materials such as apples, bananas, oranges, lemons and potatoes conduct electricity? Well, let’s see about that. C. Hypothesis A circuit is made up of a path, a source and a load. We believe that we should connect them with a (+) and a (-) wire so that the flow will be even with no reverse polarity. The load we thought of using was a battery- operated clock, one of the most common materials found in almost everyone’s household. We believe that it would work because the organic materials we will use have electrolytes that flow freely on its own. Thus, it will flow into conductors to make...

...Potato Powered Clock Theory: Potato as a Battery Hypothesis: Potatoes have starch in them which is a natural sugar that can be broken down naturally for a release of energy and generate enough power to run a digital clock. Problem Statement: Can ordinary potatoes power a digital clock for more than 24 hours? Variables: * Independent Variable – Potato * Dependent Variables – Clock, connection wires, copper and zinc plates Materials Needed: * Digital Clock with 2 Wires * 6.25” Connecting Wire * Transparent Tape * 2 4” Copper Strips * 2 4” Zinc Strips * 2 Potatoes (Oranges worked too) Background: How it works * A potato can be used as a battery by using strips of zinc and copper in the acidic juice of the potato to provide power to a digital clock. * With the zinc strip, the natural acid in the potato dissolves the zinc freeing electrons. * The copper wire uses the electrons that the zinc wire frees. * To obtain enough electrical current to power the clock, two potatoes must be used and they must be connected in a head-to-tail series. Steps: 1. Put potatoes into containers to stabilize them. 2. Insert Zinc strip from the clock into the left potato. 3. Insert Copper end of the loose strip into the same potato, 2 cm apart and parallel to the Zinc strip. 4. Insert Zinc end of the loose strip into the right potato. 5. Insert Copper strip from the clock into the same potato, 2 cm apart and parallel...

...The objectives of “Lab 8: Lemon Car Competition” were to use redox reactions to store energy in capacitors, to learn about battery cells and construct a lemon citrus cell to power devices, and to build a vehicle powered by either a lemon battery or a capacitor to be entered in a competition. The competition objective was to win the competition. The winner was the vehicle with the highest competition ratio, which was calculated using Equation 1 below. To have the highest competition ratio, the cost and time traveled were minimized and the distance traveled was maximized. The designed vehicle came in last place along with three other vehicles because it did not travel. The car costed $3.50 and traveled 0 foot, so the competition ratio was zero. Only one vehicle traveled, and therefore placed first. The first placed vehicle cost $2.50, and traveled six feet in 19.30 seconds, earning a competition ratio of 17.82. The lab was unsuccessful because the lab objective was achieved meanwhile the competition objective was not. Introduction Electrical energy can be created using a citrus cell, or a battery cell, with a chemical half reaction. Two dissimilar metals are placed in a citrus juice, which serves as an electrolytic solution. The voltage is produced because of electron movements that take place as results of the two metals’ different chemical properties such as electronegativity and ionization energy (NYU SOE 2017). Electronegativity is a measure of the attraction force of an element...

S. copper pennies (minted before 1982 due to the change in copper content) or 4 copper wires an LED light a knife 5 alligator test leads 3.)Using the knife, slice a penny-sized slit on the right side of your lemon. Push the penny far into the lemon, leaving a small area to hook your alligator jumper to. This will be your positive terminal. Now, create the negative terminal for your battery. Stick one of the galvanized nails into the left side of the lemon, about 2 inches away from the penny. It is important to have the nail and penny separated. If they touch, it will cause a short.

Nel suo ricco e variopinto linguaggio intrattiene il gruppo di amici del Cipax per quasi due ore, raccogliendo grande interesse e partecipazione. Dopo la sua lunga esposizione segue un dibattito con interventi anche di Paolo Dall’Oglio, il gesuita che ha una comunità in un monastero nel deserto della Siria. L’altro giorno ho detto a un amico mio che dovevo parlare delle tre Roma e lui ha detto: “Ah, la Roma dei sette re di Roma, la Roma repubblicana e la Roma imperiale!”. Quindi le parole sono molto equivoche. Se voi andate sulla carta geografica vedete che esiste una Roma in Svezia, nell’Isola di Gottland, è un piccolo paesetto con un’abbazia cistercense; c’è una Rome nello stato di New York, 35.000 abitanti; ce n’è una in Georgia, con 35.000 abitanti, alla quale Mussolini ha regalato una lupa con Romolo e Remo sotto; e ce n’è una nel Queensland, in Australia. Quindi di Rome non c’è solo la vostra. Ma noi parliamo della vostra e delle altre due...
