...Theosophy Theosophy is a system of speculation or knowledge with particular focus on all things spiritual. It is also considered to be a part of a broader field, which deals with hidden knowledge, and wisdom that offers and individual salvation and enlightenment, called esotericism. The goal of Theosophists is to investigate and understand the mysteries of the universe, humanity and the divine world. Theosophists believe in universal brotherhood, the unity of all beings. They believe everything in the universe is connected in a way that transcends physical bodies. They aim to explore the origins of divinity and humanity including the end of the world, life and humanity. Theosophy explores questions of metaphysics especially within the areas of the mind, religion and the sciences. Theosophists feel that knowledge should come from both internal and external sources, meaning that they discover things about themselves as well as acknowledging scientific fact. Both truths are given equal value and each individual theosophist’s ideas and questions are different and dynamic due to the nature of the dual focus on externalism and internalism. Theosophy influenced specific artists and art movements. Artists and movements that were directly linked to Theosophy, such as Der Blaue Reiter, did not share a specific style in the way that other art movements do. Instead they shared the belief that colour and form could communicate the soul of the artist to viewers. They understood that...

...Maya Coultas Per 4 6/8/10 Surrealism/ Abstraction Abstraction is a form of art that does not depict recognizable scenes or objects, but instead is made up of forms and colors that exist for there own expressive sake, as opposed to Surrealism, which exists to show art that is composed of dreams and the improbable. Abstract art can be traced back to the early 1900’s, and Surrealism (which is technically a branch of abstract art), can be traced to around the 1920’s. Surrealism deals more with the forms that we see in fantasy/ dream, while Abstract art deals with the colors and geometric shapes and the theory behind the objects in our world. Surrealist’s expressed there deepest thoughts, desires, and dreams through their art mediums. With bright colors and outstanding shapes abstract artists show a commitment to expressing the feelings they get from music and the object’s around them. Seeing as how Surrealism is actually a branch of Abstract art we do find similarities between these to impressive art techniques. Both Surrealists and Abstract artists tend to use bright colors and shapes that are quite eye catching, its hard to ignore this art. Also when looking at these kinds of art you cant help but think hard about what they mean. This art makes you think, which is one of the goals I’m sure these artists had. Wassily Kandinsky was a very early abstract artist who through his theorys on physic’s, music, and color came up with some of the biggest...

...COMPOSITION 8 Artist: Wassily Kandinsky Completion Date: 1923 Place of Creation: Germany Style: Abstract Art Series: Compositions Genre: abstract painting Technique: oil Material: canvas Dimensions: 140 x 201 cm Gallery: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, USA ‘Composition 8’ is a colourful and captivating painting by Wassily Kandinsky, completed in 1923. It is unclear from the painting as to what the conditions were when it was completed, but it was painted in Germany in 1923. The key materials used by Kandinsky to create his various compositions were ink, oil paints, pencil and watercolours, and “Composition 8” incorporates these mediums. It is one of the works of a series of ‘Compositions’. This work is less chaotic, and presents an overall calm image to the viewer. The focus of “Composition 8” lies on the layout and overall presentation. It was painted while Kandinsky was teaching at the Bauhaus in Germany, and is representative of the Constructivism and Supremism that he had seen in Russia. When Kandinsky returned to Moscow after the outbreak of World War I, his expressive abstract style underwent changes that mirrored the utopian artistic experiments of the Russian avant-garde. The emphasis on geometric forms, in an attempt to establish a universal aesthetic language, inspired Kandinsky and he adopted some aspects of the geometrizing trends of Suprematism and Constructivism, such as overlapping flat planes and clearly delineated shapes. Kandinsky’s...

...yu March, 2012 Product Costing - Best Practices by Heering Ligthart On Manufacturing Accounting Editor's Note: There's so much to think about with product costing: the amount of detail you'll need, maintaining master data, variances… the list can go on. This article by Heering Ligthart discusses some key topics for managing Product Costing efficiently. He'll cover best practices in costing security, using "Last In" calculation, working with multiple branches, and finally recording and finding historical costs. Introduction I have implemented JD Edwards Manufacturing and Distribution modules at several companies and have found that there are always questions surrounding product costing setup. Cost components are essential for controllers to determine the costs for manufactured items. This raises some questions. For instance, how much detail regarding product cost do you want to keep? And how will you maintain the master data on product cost, keeping the different cost Cost components are essential for variances within boundaries and to a minimum controllers to determine the costs for to keep the costs in line with reality? manufactured items. This article highlights key topics for managing Product Costing using JDE, while keeping the costing understandable. Although the scenarios used in the article all contain a manufacturing branch with different distribution branches, most topics are applicable to distribution branches as well. While cost price programs and batches...

...After the Enlightenment, a European intellectual movement of the late 17th century which promotes focus on reason and individualism, political and social reexamination become more and more present in the art. The new paradigm occurs in The Raft of the Medusa (Le Radeau de la Méduse) by Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault, an oil painting created in 1818 and 1819. Although the formal differences between Romantic and Modern artworks, Yellow Harbor (Gelben Hafen) by Paul Klee, a watercolor and transferred printing ink on paper mounted on cardboard produced in 192, also evokes strong social and political criticism. As one of the pioneer artists of the Romanticism, Théodore Géricault witnessed growing social injustice and mental disorder in the...

CSMS probably touches more core areas of the software than any other module in the system.

...old, she was originally from West Germany but is now an American Citizen. Much like other female artists, Kiki Smith’s art plays a role in the feminist eye of the world; with a lot of work showing the struggles and roles of women in society. Smith’s art had a focus on the human body in real time, much like the piece pictured above. There was an article that discussed how performance art emphasizing feminist qualities was more popular, but Smith decided to take the route less traveled to show the same message. Paul Klee “A drawing is simple a line that went for a walk.”-Paul Klee Paul Klee was not only gifted as a painter, he was also extremely talented in playing the violin. There was a time that Klee thought he was going to spend his life being a musician, especially considering that both of his parents were also musicians. In his early years, Klee also wrote plays and kept detailed dairies of the things going on in his life. During his lifetime, Klee produced over 9,000 pieces of art, including; watercolors, paintings, and drawings. One of the last paintings he did, Death and Fire, was a physical portrayal of himself at the time since he was suffering from Scleroderma.

...there was a desire to reform the art education in Germany, which brought about two fundamental demands (Whitford 27). First of which was that “all art education should be based on craft-training, the second that, since students were forbidden to specialize, the school should embrace as many activities as possible” (Whitford 27). Those two demands were the foundation for a profound change in art education and it was Walter Gropius, the newly appointed director, who had a vision of what an art school should represent that helped the Bauhaus become internationally known. Alongside Gropius many teachers help bring about a revolution in the art education reform, including Johannes Itten (1888 - 1967), Wassily Kandinsky (1966 - 1944), and Paul Klee (1879-1940). Each teacher had his own strengths and brought a different aspect to the Bauhaus. Even to this day, we still speak about and practice many theories developed by the school and its teachers, and by examining the aims as a school we can clearly define its place in history, the influences on art education and the resonating effects still felt today. Walter Gropius was appointed the position of Director of the Bauhaus in 1919, and continued to spread his influence up until 1928. He had a unique vision of what he wanted his school to represent and the many ideas put in place by Gropius started to reshape art education in Germany. Shortly after he was appointed director, he wrote the Manifesto and the ‘Programme of the State Bauhaus...

... The Lord guides us to keep the dating process pure by not mating till marriage. In the Hebrews 13:4 we are told that pre-marital sex is wrong, “Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery” (New Living Translation). As a born again believer I feel the only way God will bless the marriage is to avoid sex until marriage. As Christians we should put our love and obedience to Jesus ahead of their own desires. These common beliefs should be the foundation for love respect and self-sacrifice that a great relationship is based upon. Finding a partner in Christ is one of the hardest steps to overcome when starting the dating process. Juliet Klee states, “You need to be dating only someone who shares your level of commitment to your faith in Christ. Someone who has similar goals and ideals when it comes to family, worship, and commitment to Christ is going to be a better match for you and will be more understanding of your desire to live and act according to your beliefs”...

The subject of linear programming might be characterized briefly. It is concerned with the issue of boosting or minimizing a linear capacity whose variables are obliged to fulfill an arrangement of linear stipulations, an obligation being a linear mathematical statement or imbalance. The subject may all the more properly be called linear improvement. Issues of this sort come up in a common and truly rudimentary path in numerous connections however particularly in issues of financial arranging. Linear computer programs are a significant field of enhancement for a few reasons. Numerous pragmatic issues in operations exploration might be communicated as linear programming issues.

...Expressionnisme [pic] [pic] Franz Marc : Die großen blauen Pferde (1911) L'expressionnisme est un mouvement artistique apparu au début du XXe siècle, en Europe du Nord, particulièrement en Allemagne. L'expressionnisme a touché de multiples domaines artistiques : la peinture, l'architecture, la littérature, le théâtre, le cinéma, la musique, etc. Survivant jusqu'à l'avènement du régime nazi, l'expressionnisme est condamné par celui-ci qui le considère comme « dégénéré ». Description L'expressionnisme est la projection d'une subjectivité qui tend à déformer la réalité pour inspirer au spectateur une réaction émotionnelle. Les représentations sont souvent fondées sur des visions angoissantes, déformant et stylisant la réalité pour atteindre la plus grande intensité expressive. Celles-ci sont le reflet de la vision pessimiste que les expressionnistes ont de leur époque, hantée par la menace de la Première Guerre mondiale. Les œuvres expressionnistes mettent souvent en scène des symboles, influencées par la psychanalyse naissante et les recherches du symbolisme. Au début du XXe siècle, ce mouvement profondément ancré dans l'Europe du Nord (en particulier l'Allemagne) est une réaction à l'impressionnisme français. Alors que l'impressionnisme est encore à décrire la réalité physique, l'expressionnisme allemand lui ne s'attache plus à cette réalité et la soumet aux états d'âme de l'artiste. L'expressionnisme rompt aussi avec l'impressionnisme à travers une forme très agressive :...
