...Time Capsule Assignment Stephanie Sorrell Humanities 102 March 7, 2016 Joan Canby Time Capsule Assignment As part of my very first humanities class, I was asked to dig up a time capsule that had been buried with items from the Renaissance and the Baroque periods of time. I did indeed find this time capsule, but there were way too many things in there to tell you about it all. With that being said, I will pick two from a few different categories and discuss those. This means I will be writing on two pieces art, music, architecture, philosophy, and literature. After telling you all about these findings, I am required to tell you how these items reflect world events and cultural patterns of time. The Renaissance refers to the cultural transformations witnessed in Europe between the fourteen-century and the sixteen-century (Cheremeteff, 2000). The transformations originated in Italy before spreading to the other parts of Europe. Owing to the transformations, Europe came out of the economic crisis experienced during the middle ages. As such, the period was marked by robust financial growth. Similarly, the period saw changes in art, music, architecture, philosophy, and literature. On the other hand, the Baroque refers to the cultural style witnessed in Europe between the 17th century and the mid 18th century (Cheremeteff, 2000). The style was depicted by the use of overstated motion and interpreted features to create stage shows, tension, enthusiasm, and sumptuousness from...

...Time Capsule 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...

...Time Capsule Paper HUM102 October 22, 2012 Verna Cathy Tobin The Age of Baroque was between 1600 and 1750. “The term ‘baroque’ is associated with such features as ornateness, spatial grandeur, and theoretical flamboyance” (Fiero, 2011, p. 10). The Age of Baroque follows the Renaissance, which means ‘rebirth.’ Therefore, the Age of Baroque can be in comparison to the years of adolescence, where the events and cultural patterns are contradictory and full of emotional statement. This paper will highlight two examples of art, music, descriptions of architecture, philosophy, and literature of time as well as reflect how each example reflects both world events and the cultural patterns of the time. Examples of Art The first two examples of the Age of Baroque are those of art. Art during this age used the contrast of light and dark and effects that produced illusions to evoke emotions by the viewers. Religious subjects were often the theme of the portraits to portray a dramatic scene to give viewers the sense that he or she were active participants in the scene. This was reflective of the world events and cultural patterns focused on religious matters, such as the Catholic Reformation and the cultural events that were emotional for individuals. The first example is The Supper at Emmaus by Caravaggio (1571-1610). The painting uses the strong contrasts of light and dark and shows the religious subjects...

...Creativity and Innovation in Business Prof. Danny Araneta Cabulay Dean – Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance Far Eastern University, Manila, Philippines dcabulay@feu.edu.ph Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” For most people, creativity is more easily associated with art than business. But the highest art form is business because one can be very creative, dynamic and revolutionary. Creativity is also related to innovation and change. I am fully aware that many of the things we see around us are products of minds of geniuses, creative thinkers. It is hard to imagine a business without a creative mind. A creative mind is essential in any type of business. When we get tired of the old product or technology, as it also becomes obsolete, we long to have, a better product or technology. This is the essence of innovation. It has to be more convenient to customers. The etymology of the word “create” indicates to make something; while “creation” is something that shows skill, imagination or ability; and to be “creative” means the ability to invent, design or develop original ideas. Even in the simplest businesses, creativity can happen. In Manila, for example, a typical bakery would operate from 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 pm. A bunch of students made a feasibility study to inject the idea of a 24-hour bakery. Hence, Pugon de Manila was born. This is an example of an incremental innovation to the traditional bakery...

This estimate of value analysis is based on the use of fair market value as the standard of value. For the point at the matter of this analysis, fair market value is defined as the expected price at which the business would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller1, based on its future evaluation income, neither being under a constraint to close the deal and both having full conversance of all the relevant facts. This is nearly similar to the market value basis definition as it is stated under the International Valuation Standards2...

Introduction Nowadays, fashion blogs are all over the Internet, but what exactly is a fashion blog? I will start out by a definition of a fashion blog and a definition of a fashion blogger. Definition fashion blog: a fashion blog is an online medium where all sides of fashion are covered. This includes blogs about: Runway trends Fashion items, such as shoes and handbags Celebrity fashion Street style outfits worn by regular people Definition fashion blogger: fashion blogger are ‘normal’ people, fashion fans, who decide to express their opinions about fashion statements giving their own personal interpretations of what trends are.

They have a lot of know how and intelligence. The designs the House makes are timeless with a very high quality of leathers. They are not humping on the trends they keep designing functional new creations. They have a certain hautain-look and that makes their Brand very strong. There is no room for unprofessionalism.

...and 5 micrograms, depending on the substance, can indeed be the difference between life and death. Where should one get such information? From qualified sources, of course. Not from your bro. Want to know about proper dosage? Look in the medical literature and find out what dosages have been shown through experimentation to render the desired effects. Want to know about a proper manufacturing method? Then you need to read technical manuals written by actual engineers. As much as possible, I’ve pointed you to more qualified sources of information than myself throughout this guide. I’ve deliberately left out information about dosages in order to force you to use this as a starting point rather than a definitive resource. At the same time, I’m obviously encouraging DIY experimentation. Allow me to clear up the apparent contradiction. See, I intend for this report to be, among other things, a bit of a shot across the bow of the troubled ship that is the nutritional supplement industry. Here’s a field that can do so much good but that exhibits so little true innovation. When anyone can privatelabel the same substandard supplements everyone else is selling and “win with better marketing,” it doesn’t seem there’s much incentive to raise the bar. The best way to shake up such a market is to educate the buyers. When consumers are aware of better ways to ingest their nutrition, the supplement sellers have to respond or go out of business. Life will be made even...

...A group of a few women born in the second decade of the century might together illustrate the diversity of the twentieth-century novelist's interests. Elizabeth Taylor (1912-1975), the author the novels The Soul of Kindness and Blaming, is a refined stylist whose swift flashes of dialogue and reflection and deft sketches of the wider background give vitality to her portrayals of well-to-do family life in commuter land. Some of her later novels are In a Summer Season (1961), and The Wedding Group (1968.) Elizabeth Taylor has humour and compassion as well as disciplined artistry, and has logically been compared with Jane Austen. So has Barbara Pym (1913-1980) who tasted fame, sadly enough, only at the end of her life (her real name was Mary Crampton). Another restrained and perceptive artist, she is a master of J f ingenuous and candid dialogue and reflection which are resonant with comic overtones. Critics I called her "modern Jane Austin. Excellent Women (1952) and A Glass of Blessings (1958) were reprinted in the late 1970s when Philip Larkin and David Cecil drew attention to the quality of her neglected work. Later novels, The Sweet Dove Died (1978) and Quartet in Autumn (1978), are no less engaging in their blend of pathos and comedy. One might well put beside these two English writers the Irish writer Mary Lavin (1912-1996), whose short stories focus on the ups and downs of family life with quiet pathos and humour. Her novels, The House in Clewes Street (1945)...
