...HUM-102 Time Capsule I.) Art a. Renaissance i. One point perspective was one of the forms of painting during the renaissance period. This type of painting created a real kind of depth as each of its planes going further into the back of the back in space to look as it were from the eye of the viewer. ii. “Linear perspective is a depth cue that is related to both relative size and the next depth cue, texture gradient.” (Dictionary, 2011) Using these linear parallel lines that go back into the distance seems to get closer together. These types of painting were widely used throughout the renaissance period and can still be found in many famous paintings in today’s art museums. b. Age of Baroque iii. Still Life - “According to the collector Vincenzo Giustiniani, the painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610)—who rocked artistic conventions with his shockingly naturalistic style, and secured lifelong notoriety for subversive ideas and behavior—commented that it was just as difficult to paint a good picture of flowers as it was to make a picture of figures.” (Measher, 2008) Still life paintings allowed the artist the ability to paint with greater detail and depth. Many still life paintings were from oil based paintings. iv. A wonderful example of Vermeer and Dutch Art was the Milkmaid painting by Johannes Vermeer during the time of 1657-58. This painting could be considered to be one of the final works of the Delft...

...Grant M. Ritchie POS-301 November 16, 2014 Jonathan Roeder Constitutional Timeline Our Founding Fathers relied on the information found in the Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact, Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and Federalist Papers to help draft the United States Constitution. These documents played a significant role in developing the United States of America. I believe without the support of these documents the Constitution would never existed. Those who created the Magna Carta brought on some of the liberties we appropriate today. The Magna Carta’s one important law includes freedom of the church. The freedom is also in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which states freedom of religion. King John was forced to sign this document in 1215. “The Magna Carta also imposed limitations of the King of England and established a parliamentary form of government with powers to act on the citizens behalf,” (AuBuchan, 2001, p. 1). The Magna Carta is comparable to the constitutional form of government which establishes Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. The Magna Carta contained due process which led to trial by jury also included under Article Three Section Two of the U.S. Constitution. The words of the Fifth Amendment are mentioned in the Magna Carta. Rough seas and storms stopped the Mayflower from reaching their destination. The settlers ended up in Cape Cod. “Mayflower Compact, document was signed on the English ship Mayflower...

...Anciens), included 250 delegates, who held the capacity to approve or veto the proposed legislation. The Ancients also picked the official, the five Directors (Directeurs), from records composed by the Five Hundred. A new Director, who fit the criteria, was picked each year, in rotation. It was the Director's job to choose government ministers, ambassadors, army generals, tax collectors, and different authorities (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, "Directory | French history") . Although the Directory inherited many of the centralized powers of the from Committee of Public Safety, they had no funds to finance any of their projects or enforce their will, and it was a fatal experiment in weak executive powers. This government was full of widespread corruption, it's police protecting supporters of the Revolution, and preventing the return of the Bourbons. As a result of the general weakness of this government, it was easy to take power over it (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, "Directory | French history")...

This period is sometimes called the “quiet years” when in fact it was anything but quiet. This was a time of 400 years of war, destruction and dramatic change in the eastern ancient world.

The changes during this time that faced the ancient world began with Alexander the Great. The Grecian or Hellenistic Period began with Alexander the Great.

...The First and Second Continental Congress History-101 Dr. Robert Young May 22, 2014 From 1774 to 1789, the first Continental Congress served as the single government of the original 13 American colonies and later to become the United States of America. It was comprised of delegates from the colonies which met in 1774 to the reaction of the Coercive Acts which were a series of measures imposed by the British government on the colonies in response to their resistance to the new taxes imposed by the British. The American dream is built upon a foundation of struggles and gains, along with more struggles. A look back to early American history provides one with a timeline that seems endless and full of surprises. The First Continental Congress serves as one of those timeline markers and is a great example of the American way. Being one of the first meetings ever between the colonists, Congress laid one of the first bricks into the foundation of America. The First Continental Congress made its mark in history on September 5, 1774 in Philadelphia’s Carpenters Hall. The idea of such a meeting was advanced a year earlier by Benjamin Franklin, but failed to gain much support until after the Port of Boston was closed in response to the Boston Tea Party. Twelve of the thirteen colonies sent representatives to this secret meeting, “Georgia decided against roiling the waters; they were facing attacks from the restive Creek on their borders and desperately needed the support...

...downsizing. To sum it up in one sentence, organizational downsizing refers to a set of activities, taken on by the core management of an organization, designed to improve organizational efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. It represents a management strategy that affects three components: (a) the size of the firm’s workforce, (b) the costs, and (c) the work processes. On the surface, downsizing can be interpreted as merely a reduction in organizational size, and the process is a chaotic and uncertain experience at best. However, recent trends indicate this phenomenon to be a necessary part of business, particularly during times of an economic recession, like we’ve had in 2008, to place an organization in a position to increase levels of sustainability and competitiveness. History In order to fully understand the concept of downsizing and why it is now so prevalent, the history of...

...Schizophrenics are mostly medicated with anti-psychotics, made to treat severe mental illness. Sometimes these patients stop taking their medication because of the side effects. A side effect that anti-psychotics has is major sensitivity to the sun which increases the likeliness of them getting a sunburn in just minutes. They can also experience the abnormal twitching of the face and problems with their coordination. As well as suffer from less white blood cells than individual who does not use anti-psychotics. And last but not least these patients might experience sluggish talking in their tongue. Many years ago around 1550 B.C., schizophrenia was simply known as madness. In the timeline article “Throughout History, Defining Schizophrenia Has Remained a Challenge” it explains the roots of schizophrenia. In this timeline it mentions how someone with schizophrenia was known to be strange and atypical. During Ancient Egypt and Greece they “believed madness reflected supernatural activity or an imbalance of energies”. Another example of how schizophrenia was viewed would be around 400 B.C. in China, they also believed that someone suffering from schizophrenia was described as “dementia and seizures arising from demonic possession.” By 1809 two psychiatrists were already describing patients with what would be the first signs of schizophrenia until two other psychiatrists with the name Karl Ludwig and Ewald Hecker begin to categorize...

...Financial Reporting Timeline The creation of: 1. Committee on Accounting Procedures Role - With the recent increase in members, the SEC delegated the responsibility of issuing pronouncements on accounting principles to the Committee. The SEC worked with the Committee on Accounting Procedures to develop standards for accounting and financial reporting and issued 51 Accounting Research Bulletins (ARBs) over its lifetime. In 1949, they updated 42 of their original ARBs and codified them. a. History - In 1933, the Special Committee on Development of Accounting Principles was formed by the AICPA. Quite simply, this committee did not get much done and was replaced by the Committee on Account Procedures in 1936. For the first two years, this committee also made very little progress. In 1938, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Accounting Series Release No. 4 which asserted that any financial statements prepared in accordance with principles that had no substantial authoritative support would be considered inaccurate. This prompted the CAP to expand from 7 members to 21 members and increased its activity. b. Structure – The Committee on Accounting Procedures was committee formed by the American Institute of Accountants after the SEC delegated to it the responsibility of issuing pronouncements on accounting principles without government council. Initially, the CAP wanted to create guidance for solving accounting problems, but did not believe they had enough...

...against Microsoft that began nearly twenty-two years ago. To begin we will look at the history leading up to the filing, the government's argument, Microsoft's argument, and the outcome of the case. We will also look at the intent of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Specifically, how does the Sherman Anti-Trust Act protect consumers? Finally, we will discuss whether the anti-trust legislation actually accomplishes what it is intended to do, with respect to the technology industry. Microsoft has been under constant scrutiny since June 1990 when the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched a probe into the possible collusion between Microsoft and IBM. Three years later, the FTC handed over their investigation to the U.S. Department of Justice. After years of accusations for monopolizing and engaging in anti-competitive acts, Microsoft finally, on May 18, 1998, received a suit for violation of federal anti-trust laws.[i] The suit alleges that Microsoft is in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and seeks to prohibit Microsoft from selling certain products and engaging in certain sales practices. Time Line of Events [pic][ii] The government's complaint contains four counts: 1. Microsoft illegally monopolized the market for operating systems (“OSs”) for personal computers (“PCs”) under paragraph 2 of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.[iii] 2. Microsoft had anti-competitive contractual arrangements with various vendors of...
