    1. The word "frequentist" is especially tricky. To philosophers it refers to a particular theory of physical probability, one that has more or less been abandoned. To scientists, on the other hand, "frequentist probability" is just another name for physical (or objective) probability. Those who promote Bayesian inference view "frequentist statistics" as an approach to statistical inference that recognises only physical probabilities.

    1. The Greek myths were initially propagated in an oral-poetic tradition most likely by Minoan and Mycenaean singers starting in the 18th century BC

      This is significance because till this day we learn and use myths in songs as well.Myths teach us a lot of good stuff like Achilles heal.

    2. Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.

      This is significant because that mythology has definitely had an impact on the world even today. Greek mythology has many great lessons contained in it that people can still learn from. For example the concepts of good versus evil, greediness, vanity, and more are brought out in Greek mythology. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/331155378853687187/

    3. A motif of father-against-son conflict was repeated when Cronus was confronted by his son, Zeus. Because Cronus had betrayed his father, he feared that his offspring would do the same, and so each time Rhea gave birth, he snatched up the child and ate it. Rhea hated this and tricked him by hiding Zeus and wrapping a stone in a baby's blanket, which Cronus ate. When Zeus was full grown, he fed Cronus a drugged drink which caused him to vomit, throwing up Rhea's other children, including Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, and the stone, which had been sitting in Cronus's stomach all this time. Zeus then challenged Cronus to war for the kingship of the gods.

      Cronus fear of losing power are significant to this quote. Because his fear made his such a coward that he had to eat his own children to stay in power.but his wife who thought who knew this we cruel tricked him and saved one of the babies and the one she saved killed Cronus.

    1. Ainu mythology divides time into three tenses: "Mosir sikah ohta" ("when the universe was born"), "mosir noskekehe" ("centre of the world"), and "mosir kes" ("end of the world" , from which there no detailled concepts known from Ainu mythology)[2]

      This is significant because it kinda goes along to one of our 5 questions we did before,"what happens after we pass away."The group mosir kes is the group that got divided into that category. :origin()/pre09/3205/th/pre/i/2005/141/8/2/in_der_welt_sehe_ich_by_disposablet33n.jpg)

    1. The highly regimented seven-day narrative of Genesis 1 features an omnipotent God who creates a god-like humanity, while the one-day creation of Genesis 2 uses a simple linear narrative, a God who can fail as well as succeed, and a humanity which is not god-like but is punished for acts which would lead to their becoming god-like.[15] Even the order and method of creation differs.[15] "Together, this combination of parallel character and contrasting profile point to the different origin of materials in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, however elegantly they have now been combined."[16]

      Genesis chapter 2 supplies details not furnished in the broad outline found in Genesis chapter 1. It is doubtful that a writer or historian would come up with disconnected narratives and that a nation would accept them as a history of its people. Genesis is the only source that provides us with history, genealogy, and chronology. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/221731981642823313/

    2. On the side of contrasts, Genesis 1 is monotheistic, it makes no attempt to account for the origins of God,

      This is relevant because most religions tell the story of how earth and its inhabitants were created, but very few attempt to explain the creation of the God/Gods that created us. Is this because most believe that God has simply always existed, or because we just dont have any ideas as to how these creators were created? Or maybe there's another explanation as to why this is never brought up?

    3. God's first act was the creation of undifferentiated light; dark and light were then separated into night and day, their order (evening before morning) signifying that this was the liturgical day; and then the Sun, Moon and stars were created to mark the proper times for the festivals of the week and year. Only when this is done does God create man and woman and the means to sustain them (plants and animals).

      When we think about God it shows how important he is to us because God created us and many things.<br>

    4. In the second story, God, now referred to by the personal name Yahweh, creates Adam, the first man, from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden, where he is given dominion over the animals. Eve, the first woman, is created from Adam and as his companion.

      When we look at this we think of the one big question which is how did we get here. In the sentence it says that god created the first dust man.

    5. In the second story, God, now referred to by the personal name Yahweh, creates Adam, the first man, from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden, where he is given dominion over the animals. Eve, the first woman, is created from Adam and as his companion.

      this is significant to me because it ties in with one of my big questions which is how did we get here.This kind of answers it.In this sentence it says that god created the first man from dust.

    6. "And the earth was formless and void..." The phrase "formless and void" is a translation of the Hebrew tohu wa-bohu, (Hebrew: תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ‎), chaos,

      **This is important because it lets us know that was a line when there was nothing . There was a beginning that took chaos and made it into something. It lets us know that form and order took place after there was chaos.

    7. The Earth itself was a flat disc, surrounded by mountains or sea. Above it was the firmament, a transparent but solid dome resting on the mountains, allowing men to see the blue of the waters above, with "windows" to allow the rain to enter, and containing the Sun, Moon and stars. The waters extended below the Earth, which rested on pillars sunk in the waters, and in the underworld was Sheol, the abode of the dead.[37]

      This is saying that in the beginning the world was flat with windows and surrounded by mountains to keep it all in, this is close to how people thought it worked back then when everyone thought the earth was not round but flat.

    8. The highly regimented seven-day narrative of Genesis 1 features an omnipotent God who creates a god-like humanity, while the one-day creation of Genesis 2 uses a simple linear narrative, a God who can fail as well as succeed, and a humanity which is not god-like but is punished for acts which would lead to their becoming god-like.[15] Even the order and method of creation differs.[15] "Together, this combination of parallel character and contrasting profile point to the different origin of materials in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, however elegantly they have now been combined."[16]

      This is quite significant because churches do not always emphasize the real differences between Genesis 1 and 2. Careful reading shows they ARE different. What could this mean?

    1. This epic is one of the most important sources revealing the Babylonian worldview. Over the seven tablets, it describes the creation of the world, a battle between gods focused on the supremacy of Marduk

      I found this interesting because it talks about how there are seven tablets with old writing and they were discovered. The writing is about the creation of the world.

    2. It was recovered by English archaeologist Austen Henry Layard in 1849 (in fragmentary form) in the ruined Library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh (Mosul, Iraq).

      Found this interesting because I didn't know that a myths like this could be recovered because i thought that they were mainly spoken back then not written.

    3. The Enûma Eliš is the primary source for Mesopotamian cosmology.[42] According to Heidel its main purpose was as a praise of Marduk, and was important in making that Babylonian god head of the entire pantheon, through his deeds in defeating Tiamat, and in creation of the universe.

      this is significant ![because it ties in with one of my big questions.Which is what is the purpose of life because his purpose of life was to create Babylonian head.

    1. They separated, each taking 50 children. Âu Cơ settled in mountainous northern Vietnam where she raised fifty young, intelligent, strong leaders, later known as the Hùng Vương, Hùng kings

      Au Co was a fairy helping those people who suffered.I find it interesting that a that a dragon king from the sea saved Au Co and divided the 100 eggs of children.Although they didn't live together they both raised their own kids where they wanted.

    1. In one such episode, two gods grow flowers in a contest to decide who will rule the human world. The deserving benevolent god grows the (better) blossom, but the other god steals it while the good god sleeps. The undeserving cheater thereby becomes the ruler of humanity and spreads evil into the world.

      This myth follows other creation myths in that there is good and evil. It seems that most creation views start good and evil enters. The question is who wins in the end.

    1. In all of these myths, the world was said to have emerged from an infinite, lifeless sea when the sun rose for the first time, in a distant period known as zp tpj (sometimes transcribed as Zep Tepi), "the first occasion"

      This quote can answer the question how the world started. In this myth, the world didn't start by a person, but by the sea. It also let's us know that there was a time when the sun didn't rise.

    2. Ancient Egyptian creation myths are the ancient Egyptian accounts of the creation of the world. The Pyramid Texts, tomb wall decorations and writings, dating back to the Old Kingdom (2780–2250 BC) have given us most of our information regarding early Egyptian creation myths.

      A lot of there writing gave us information about them. Also it gives us information about many of there myths which where written on the tomb walls and the writing is called pyramid text. And how they think the world came to be created.

    3. Ancient Egyptian creation myths are the ancient Egyptian accounts of the creation of the world. The Pyramid Texts, tomb wall decorations and writings, dating back to the Old Kingdom (2780–2250 BC) have given us most of our information regarding early Egyptian creation myths.

      Most of the Ancient Egyptian myths have been created on the first hand accounts of Egyptian people in between 2780 and 2250 BC. These accords were recorded using tomb writing and decorations like paintings and artifacts. Most of these relics were found in tombs so I presume that people either stole or took from these tombs to gain information regarding early Egyptian life.

    1. Leviathan already figures in the Hebrew Bible as a metaphor for a powerful enemy,

      This idea of creation makes me wonder if there is still this creature. Has this creature always been. Is it still out there somewhere? Will it come again at the end of creation since it says it is a powerful enemy.

    2. Later Jewish sources describe Leviathan as a dragon who lives over the sources of the Deep and who, along with the male land-monster Behemoth, will be served up to the righteous at the end of time.

      This creature is important to the Jewish people in a bad way. Because it may be the end of time for them and that god is coming. Again but god didn't make many of the sea monsters.

    3. Later Jewish sources describe Leviathan as a dragon who lives over the sources of the Deep and who, along with the male land-monster Behemoth, will be served up to the righteous at the end of time.

      This creature was like a bad creature to the Jewish back then and whenever they would see them would mean it was the end of time and that god made fewer of them so nothing bad would happen. (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/56506170321636535/)

    1. These include a creation myth and a vision of afterlife, which Islam shares with the other Abrahamic religions, as well as the distinctively Islamic story of the Kaaba.

      Islam has command beliefs with other religions like Abrahamic religions. and they believe in the after life like another religions like Christian. and they think when you die you go to a higher place.

    2. Islamic theology gives a more optimistic attitude towards humanity's fall.[clarification needed] Only due to free will, humans are able to produce good. Thus, although Adam's disobedience created evil, only this made it possible to create good[26] The disobediences of Adam and his wife were already forgiven by God during their life

      The Islamic story of the creation of humanity is a lot like the story of creation from the Bible, and is just another example of similarities between religions. The story of the first 'sin', however, is a bit different. According to Islamic mythology, the sins of Adam and his wife were the cause of evil, but also good.

    1. One day the Raven became so bored with bird land that he flew away, carrying a stone in his beak. When the Raven became tired of carrying the stone and dropped it, the stone fell into the ocean and expanded until it formed the firmament on which humans now live

      This quote shows how people believe how the the ravens helped the world by making it after he dropped his stone witch made the land that people walk on today

    2. While each culture's stories of the Raven are different, there are even those that share the same title; certain attributes of Raven remain the same. The Raven is always a magical creature able to take the form of human, animal, even inanimate objects. He is a keeper of secrets, and a trickster often focused on satisfying his own gluttony for whatever he desires.

      The Raven is different for each culture but they are always a magical creature which is able to take the form of human, animals, and inanimate objects. Would you be be able to tell the difference between normal things and a raven or would it be hidden? They say that it is only focused it's own gluttony for whatever it desires but it keeps your secrets.If you knew it only cared about itself, why would you talk to it?

    3. One version of the Raven creation story is that of the Cahto in California.[5] In one variant, Raven is taught by his father, Kit-ka'ositiyi-qa, to be a creator, but Raven is unsatisfied with the result. He creates the world but is unable to give it light or water

      In the story people are making world that come from specific needs so he stole from them to get what he need back for another ones god.

    4. One version of the Raven creation story is that of the Cahto in California.[5] In one variant, Raven is taught by his father, Kit-ka'ositiyi-qa, to be a creator, but Raven is unsatisfied with the result. He creates the world but is unable to give it light or water

      In this story it is like people making worlds with specific need so he stole from them, its more like we are a universe in another ones for the gods

    1. Represented as young men and the steeds who pull the sun across the sky, the Divine Twins rode horses (sometimes they were depicted as horses themselves) and rescued men from mortal peril in battle or at sea.[145] The Divine Twins are often differentiated: one is represented as a young warrior while the other is seen as a healer or concerned with domestic duties.[116] In most tales where they appear, the Divine Twins rescue the Dawn from a watery peril, a theme that emerged from their role as the solar steeds.[146][147] At night, the horses of the sun returned to the east in a golden boat, where they traversed the sea[note 3] to bring back the Sun each morning. During the day, they crossed the sky in pursuit of their consort, the morning star.[147]

      The horses are making carrying around the earth this is similar to atlas as they are carrying around the earth.

    1. emergence occurs when an entity is observed to have properties its parts do not have on their own.

      Emergence occurs when an entity has properties that do not apply to itself. Emergence means that things are extorted and different from its original state of being. I presume that it is similar in concept to being in another reality or universe. If that is what emergence is, how do you enter into an emergence state?

    1. The story opens with a location "the hill of heaven and earth" which is discussed by Chiera as "not a poetical name for the earth, but the dwelling place of the gods, situated at the point where the heavens rest upon the earth. I

      Chiera discussed that "the hill of heaven and earth" is not a poetical name for the earth, but the dwelling place of the gods, situated at the point where the heavens rest upon the earth. Does this statement mean that the hill is in both, heaven and on earth because the location of the scene is contradicting. it first states, the hill is a part of heaven and earth but then says but it is located on the point where heaven meets the earth which is a part of heaven.

    1. Like other figures foun

      The Divine Twins served as rescuers and healers to people in proto-indo-european times. The twins were not spoken about in the earth or written materials but in the sky. The people must have only constructed the Divine Twins though stories and speech because how would these characters be kept alive if there was no written or physical evidence of them.

    1. According to Jain doctrine, the universe and its constituents—soul, matter, space, time, and principles of motion—have always existed. Jainism does not support belief in a creator deity. All the constituents and actions are governed by universal natural laws. It is not possible to create matter out of nothing and hence the sum total of matter in the universe remains the same (similar to law of conservation of mass). Jain text claims that the universe consists of jiva (life force or souls) and ajiva (lifeless objects). The soul of each living being is unique and uncreated and has existed during beginningless time

      This is different than most other origin stories because most religions have some story explaining how their God/Gods created the world. In Jainism, however, it is said that the universe has simply always existed, and even an entity like God can't create a whole universe. Because of the focus on karmas, Jainism and Hinduism have some similarities.

    1. A group of spiritual beings are spoken about as Little People and they can only be seen by humans when they want to be seen. It is said that they choose who they present themselves to and appear as any other Cherokee would, except that they are small with very long hair.[20] The Little People can be helpful but one should be cautious while interacting with them because they can be very deceptive

      This sounds a lot like the concept of spirit guides, except spirit guides tend to be portrayed as animals. This shows that its very common to find similarities between different religions/cultures.

    1. According to Hindu [[]] all species on earth including humans have "devolved" or come down from a high state of pure consciousness. Hindu creationists claim that species of plants and animals are material forms adopted by pure consciousness which live an endless cycle of births and rebirths

      This idea of being born and reborn is known as reincarnation. I think its really interesting that, according to the Hindu religion, even if you're a human, you can be reborn as a different life form, such as an animal. Your soul is what's important, not your material body.

    2. The Hindu dharma believes that the gods have animal features, showing a theory that humans can be reborn again as animals or with their features.

      This specific sentence reminds of the word called reincarnation because the word means rebirth and this relates to hinduism believing in reincarnation.

    1. Following a long struggle, the flames consumed much of the water, exposing dry land. Then Buga created the light and ,separated it from darkness, and descended to the newly created land, where he confronted Buninka, the devil, and a dispute arose between them over who had created the world.

      How did we get here is the question that goes with this. The creator of us tells us how darkness was created and how the world came together because two people were fighting.

    2. Following a long struggle, the flames consumed much of the water, exposing dry land. Then Buga created the light and ,separated it from darkness, and descended to the newly created land, where he confronted Buninka, the devil, and a dispute arose between them over who had created the world.

      This ties in with my big question of how did we get here.Because its telling us how darkness was created and how the world came to be because two people were fighting.

    1. Jamshid was said to have had a magical seven-ringed cup, the Jām-e Jam which was filled with the elixir of immortality and allowed him to observe the universe.

      This quote could answer to how we got here and how we were made. It says that the creator drank something that allowed him to do something to created us and the world.

    2. magical seven-ringed cup, the Jām-e Jam which was filled with the elixir of immortality and allowed him to observe the universe.

      The is quote could answer the question of how we got here. It seems to say that the creator drank a drink that allowed him me but i guess it could it could answer the question

    1. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question, "What is the meaning of my life?"

      The meaning of life i to live it to the fullest and hoping to have no regrets.

    2. What is the purpose of life? What is the purpose of one's life?

      Will I am muslim. Allah created us in order to worship him. To knowledge in order to understand our status in life. this is my purpose of my life :)

    3. The meaning of life as we perceive it is derived from philosophical and religious contemplation of, and scientific inquiries about existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness.

      I believe that the meaning of life is to test a soul to see where you go to heaven or to hell, and to get a spiritual enlightenment

    4. Many other related questions include: "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", or "What is the purpose of existence?"

      "Why are we here?" Because God created us for his use no matter what we think.

    1. The first attempt was man made from mud, but Tepeu and Kukulkán found that the mud crumbled.

      This is significant because although, in mayan myth, the mud men crumbled, in abrahamic religions, they survived to become human beings. In islam, Adam, the first man, was made from mud and he lived. The same is said in christianity which also says that we are all his descendants.

    1. They talked about becoming husband and wife

      This is significant because it is completely against other beliefs. This type of act is considered incest in many other beliefs and faiths and is forbidden. Therefore, this idea is going to frowned upon by people today.

    1. These five deities, known as Kotoamatsukami, appeared spontaneously, did not have a definite sex, did not have a partner (hitorigami) and went into hiding after their emergence. These gods are not mentioned in the rest of the mythology

      These gods are similar to the lower gods in Greek mythology as in the fact that they sow up once and never again and go into hiding.

    1. can be enjoyed by all members of the family, although in many cultures women bear primary responsibility

      In Ethiopian and Eritrean culture, the women typically do the majority of the cooking as well. The certain style and ingredient additions of the dishes can vary from family to family.

    1. is dominions in Europe included the Holy Roman Empire, extending from Germany to northern Italy with direct rule over the Austrian hereditary lands and the Burgundian Low Countries, and a unified Spain with its southern Italian kingdoms of Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia.

      The Sheer Extent of Hapsburg rule in Europe in this period was almost inconceivable in scale today. The New World was discovered and plundered while Charles and his empire grew to the extreme heights dictated in the excerpt. He controlled an empire larger than his distant ancestor, Charlemagne, who was seen as the successor to the Western Roman Empire, and he styled his court as such. The fact that I hadn't heard of this empire for most of my life shocked me and its what got me into learning about World History. I want to teach other people of the amazing accomplishments people have made all over the world, not the Americanized version of history we all learn in school.

    1. The last words of the Buddha were "Strive on with diligence." Diligence is an integral part of all Buddhist teaching, and is considered the fourth of the pāramitā

      being Buddhist and growing up learning the teaching of Buddhism, i can understand hat this saying is portraying. working with diligence leads a path to "perfection" or nirvana.

    1. The first veterinary college was founded in Lyon, France in 1762 by Claude Bourgelat.[5] According to Lupton, after observing the devastation being caused by cattle plague to the French herds, Bourgelat devoted his time to seeking out a remedy.

      It is interesting to discover the history of veterinarian practices and the person who chose to devote their time to finding a cure for animals. This reminded me of the song "the light is coming" by Ariana Grande because in her song she explains how light comes to shine dark times. it makes me think that the founder was a light to animals.

    1. Some classical forms of acting involve a substantial element of improvised performance. Most notable is its use by the troupes of the commedia dell'arte, a form of masked comedy that originated in Italy.

      This is like the scene in Avengers when Tony Stark was eating blueberry raisins on screen and asked Cap if he wanted some. Improvisation is a great way to act and a great skill.

    1. In repairing cars, their main role is to diagnose the problem accurately and quickly. They often have to quote prices for their customers before commencing work or after partial disassembly for inspection. Their job may involve the repair of a specific part or the replacement of one or more parts as assemblies.

    1. Filmmaking (or, in an academic context, film production) is the process of making a film, generally in the sense of films intended for extensive theatrical exhibition.

      My dream career is to be a filmmaker. More specifically doing freelance filmmaking. This can encompass anything from doing wedding videos to making commercials for big brands.

    1. In 1960, the CGPM launched the International System of Units (in French the Système international d'unités or SI) which had six "base units": the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, degree Kelvin (subsequently renamed the "kelvin") and candela

      it takes 6 to cover all fields (electricity, radiation)

    1. differentiating both sides of the above expression with respect to y {\displaystyle y}

      little f for probability density function (derivative of cumulative function F)

    2. The term "random variable" in statistics is traditionally limited to the real-valued case ( E = R {\displaystyle E=\mathbb {R} } ).

      It is a mapping (a function) from outcomes to probability (real numbers, which furthermore integrate or sum to unity)

    1. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK), since 1922 comprises four countries: England, Scotland, and Wales (which collectively make up Great Britain) and Northern Ireland[1][2] (which is variously described as a country, province, or region).

      A country that contains 4 countries. It's almost a paradox. It never ceases to amuse me.

    1. Love encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection and to the simplest pleasure.[1][2] An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse, which differs from the love of food. Most commonly, love refers to a feeling of strong attraction and emotional attachment.[3]

    1. Where these systems most notably differ is in their units of volume. A US fluid ounce (fl oz), about 29.6 millilitres (ml), is slightly larger than the imperial fluid ounce (about 28.4 ml). However, as there are 16 US fl oz to a US pint and 20 imp fl oz per imperial pint, the imperial pint is about 20% larger. The same is true of quarts, gallons, etc.; six US gallons are a little less than five imperial gallons.
    1. On land, the league is most commonly defined as three miles, though the length of a mile could vary from place to place and depending on the era. At sea, a league is three nautical miles (3.452 miles; 5.556 kilometres).

      Gilroy is a UK-born Black scholar and this concept has been highly influential. For our purposes, it is especially significant because it encourages us to see African Diasporic history and identity, not as land-mass-based (e.g., "continents"), but much more as a product of coastal and trans-Atlantic travel and exchange. African Diasporic identity happening precisely because Atlantic coasts and shipping lanes made the Diaspora physically possible (if very painful)

    1. The mycorrhizal mutualistic association provides the fungus with relatively constant and direct access to carbohydrates, such as glucose and sucrose.[29] The carbohydrates are translocated from their source (usually leaves) to root tissue and on to the plant's fungal partners. In return, the plant gains the benefits of the mycelium's higher absorptive capacity for water and mineral nutrients, partly because of the large surface area of fungal hyphae, which are much longer and finer than plant root hairs, and partly because some such fungi can mobilize soil minerals unavailable to the plants' roots. The effect is thus to improve the plant's mineral absorption capabilities.[30]

      There is a kind of exchange of nutrients between the symbiotic species.

It was created out of the parish of St. Mary's Church, Nottingham. The architects were George Gilbert Scott and William Bonython Moffatt.[1] The Church Building Commission gave a grant of £800 towards the cost of its construction.[2] The church was dedicated by Rt. Revd. John Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln on 5 November 1844.[3] It had seating for 800 people and cost £4,400. (equivalent to £443,290 in 2019),[4]

    1. Standing on the shoulders of giants From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Stylistic device to acknowledge previous discoveries For the Oasis album, see Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. For the Tribe of Gypsies album, see Standing on the Shoulders of Giants (Tribe of Gypsies album). For Stephen Hawking's book, see On the Shoulders of Giants (book). This picture is derived from Greek mythology: the blind giant Orion carried his servant Cedalion on his shoulders to act as the giant's eyes. Standing on the shoulders of giants is a metaphor which means "Using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress".[1] It is a metaphor of dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants (Latin: nanos gigantum humeris insidentes) and expresses the meaning of "discovering truth by building on previous discoveries".[2] This concept has been traced to the 12th century, attributed to Bernard of Chartres. Its most familiar expression in English is by Isaac Newton in 1675: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."[3]

      और मैं आज रात बिस्तर पर जाऊंगा, व्यर्थ और स्पष्ट अविश्वास के साथ ... कि आज मैंने आगे देखा है दूसरों की तुलना में अधिक चमक - ज्ञान लिया

      दूर और इसे कविता में वापस करने की कोशिश की ... कविता और कारण, अभी भी सभी का अंधापन एक उपकरण जिसका उपयोग हम सभी को याद दिलाने के लिए किया जाता है

      and so i go to bed tonight, with the vain and obvious disbelief ... that today i have seen farther gleaned more than others--taken wisdom

      away, and tried to return it ... in verse rhyme and reason, still the blindest of all a tool used to remind us all we are not more than that

      徒劳而又难以置信... 今天我已经看得更远了 比别人收获更多-智慧

    1. Though there were no graduate schools in America at the time, a loan from a benefactor, Jonathan I. Bowditch, to whom the book was dedicated, enabled Child to take a leave of absence from his teaching duties to pursue his studies in Germany. There Child studied English drama and Germanic philology at the University of Göttingen, which conferred on him an honorary doctorate, and at Humboldt University, Berlin, where he heard lectures by the linguists Grimm and was much influenced by them.
    1. The term 'scholastic' derives from the fact that the inscriptions are believed to have been inspired by the manuscript sources, instead of being continuations of the original monument tradition. Scholastic inscriptions typically draw a line into the stone's surface along which the letters are arranged, rather than using the stone's edge. They begin in the course of the 6th century, and continue into Old and Middle Irish, and even into Modern times. From the High Middle Ages, contemporary to the Manuscript tradition, they may contain Forfeda. The 30 or so Pictish inscriptions qualify as early Scholastic, roughly 6th to 9th century. Some Viking Age stones on Man and Shetland are in Old Norse, or at least contain Norse names.

    1. Life at the Queen’s Hamlet[edit] Courtiers at the Palace of Versailles constantly surrounded Marie Antoinette, leaving her in need of a refuge. She escaped the responsibilities and structure of court life to her private estate. The Hamlet was part of Marie Antoinette's estate, and she enjoyed dressing as a young shepherdess or milkmaid and acting like a peasant, while surrounded by the comforts of a royal lifestyle. This unintentional mockery of the economically depressed French peasants helped build the resentment towards the monarchy among the French people that eventually led to the French Revolution. While still in power, Marie Antoinette enjoyed acting as a tableau vivant, as if she were part of a painting. She brought her idyllic, picturesque village to life by stocking the barn with animals, and bringing in "simple" people, such as milkmaids and herdsmen, to act like residents of the Hamlet. Marie Antoinette would stroll around her perfect world in simple peasants' garb with her children, part of an idealized Nature. Her closest friends joined her in her ornamental village, where they also enjoyed pretending to live a simple life. Their isolation at the Hameau caused suspicion among the French people. Already resentful of Marie Antoinette for her profligate spending in times of economic depression, the secrecy surrounding her life of amusement led to suspected hedonism and scandal.[10] It was rumored that Marie Antoinette had lovers, and they met at the Hameau, a surreal place that was completely her own. The extravagance and subtle mockery of peasant life did not help Marie Antoinette's already suffering image. In spite of its idyllic appearance, the hamlet was a real farm, fully managed by a farmer appointed by the Queen, with its vineyards, fields, orchards and vegetable gardens producing fruit and vegetables consumed at the royal table. Animals from Switzerland, according to the instructions of the Queen, were raised on the farm. For this reason the place was often called "the Swiss hamlet".

      ComCruDesPac is much preferrable. Just like I prefer CoViD-19 over COVID-19, so you can actually visually see the 3 words that the acronym is built from.

    2. An acronym is a word or name formed from the initial components of a longer name or phrase, usually using individual initial letters, as in NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) or EU (European Union), but sometimes using syllables, as in Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg), or a mixture of the two, as in radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging)
