The Synchronistic History

In ancient times, news was not something that a person could look up on their phone and be able to have all of the facts in a matter of minutes. Rather, when a special event occurred, the story was either written by someone who had witnessed it, or was written by someone else after the story had been told to them. In the documents Chronicle P and The Synchronistic History, the tale of a king comes to fruition. However, after examining the texts, there are differences and similarities that should be examined. The tale woven by these two sources tell of a king of Karduniash, though his name is different in both texts, who was a decent leader. He was the grandson of Ashur-uballit, the then king of Assyria. However, his reign was closed when the Kassites rebelled and killed him. In his place, they placed a commoner on the throne. Again, the commoner’s specific …show more content…
The difference in parentage for Kurigalzu is the most important difference. In the first source, it states “Kurigalzu, the son of Kadashman-Harbe” which coincides with what the Babylonian source called the original king (Chronicle P, p. 172). However, in the second source, it states “Kurigalzu the Younger, son of Burna-buriash” which does not coincide with the name of the original king in the Assyrian version (The Synchronistic History, p. 159). In those times, the phrase “son of” could also be used to indicate distant relations. By saying that Kurigalzu is the son of Burna-buriash and then to state that the Assyrian king “[put] (him) on his father’s throne” this could mean that Ashur-uballit was placing Kurigalzu on the throne of his own father, which would be Kurigalzu’s great-great grandfather (The Synchronistic History, p.

...4/5 Rule – 80% rule – used to calculate how many of a minority class will need to be hired. Example: If 100 men were interviewed for a job and 20 were hired, according to the 4/5ths rule how many women must be hired if 75 were interviewed? 20/100 men were hired for a selection rate of 20%. You can't have a selection rate for the women less than 80% of the male selection rate. 80% of 20% = 16% selection rate minimum. 16% of 75 interviewed = 12 Railway Act – 1st federal law that dealt with labor relations – designed to ensure timely railway operations with minimum dispute between union and railway board.

...there's no getting away from the date: I was born in Doctor Narlikar's Nursing Home on August 15th, 1947. And the time? The time matters, too. Well then: at night. No, it's important to be more ... On the stroke of midnight, as a matter of fact. Clock-hands joined palms in respectful greeting as I came. Oh, spell it out, spell it out: at the precise instant of India's arrival at independence, I tumbled forth into the world. There were gasps. And, outside the window, fireworks and crowds. A few seconds later, my father broke his big toe; but his accident was a mere trifle when set beside what had befallen me in that benighted moment, because thanks to the occult tyrannies of those blandly saluting clocks I had been mysteriously handcuffed to history, my destinies indissolubly chained to those of my country. For the next three decades, there was to be...

...Chapter 1 SIGMUND FREUD AN INTRODUCTION Sigmund Freud, pioneer of Psychoanalysis, was born on 6th May 1856 in Freiberg to a middle class family. He was born as the eldest child to his father’s second wife. When Freud was four years old, his family shifted and settled in Vienna. Although Freud’s ambition from childhood was a career in law, he decided to enter the field of medicine. In 1873, at the age of seventeen, Freud enrolled in the university as a medical student. During his days in the university, he did his research on the Central Nervous System under the guidance of German physician `Ernst Wilhelm Von Brucke’. Freud received his medical degree in 1881and later in 1883 he began to work in Vienna General Hospital. Freud spent three years working in various departments of the hospital and in 1885 he left his post at the hospital to join the University of Vienna as a lecturer in Neuropathology. Following his appointment as a lecturer, he got the opportunity to work under French neurologist Jean Charcot at Salpetriere, the famous Paris hospital for nervous diseases. So far Freud’s work had been entirely concentrated on physical sciences but Charcot’s work, at that time, concentrated more on hysteria and hypnotism. Freud’s studies under Charcot, which centered largely on hysteria, influenced him greatly in channelising his interests to psychopathology. In 1886, Freud established his private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous diseases...

Patanjali Yoga Sutra

...The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Introduction, Commentaries, and Translation What are the Yoga Sutras and who is Patanjali? Over fifty different English translations of the Yoga Sutras are extant, standing as a human testament to how Universal Truth is celebrated in terms of a rich diversity. Rather than the common and external type of knowledge (emanating from book knowledge), the following translation and commentary are a result of an intimate familiarity and direct experience both with an authentic yogic tradition and with western culture, psychology, and language that has been refined, tested in fire, and integrated for over thirty five years of intense practice (sadhana). This work is dedicated toward revealing the universal message of authentic yoga that the sage, Patanjali, first wrote down approximately 2000 years ago. Patanjali is not the inventor of yoga, but rather yoga's most popularly known scribe. What has become known simply as the "Yoga Sutras" (sutra means thread) or almost equally as common, as the "Yoga Darshana" (the vision of Yoga), is actually a compendium of an ancient pre-existing oral yoga tradition consisting of both practical advice and theoretical context. The most accepted format of the Yoga Sutras consists of four chapters (called padas) written in the Sanskrit language approximately 2000 years ago in Northern India while utilizing the terminology of the time, i.e., Samkhya philosophical trappings. The dates ascribed to the Yoga Sutras...
