Modern understanding of Greek mythology

The genesis of modern understanding of Greek mythology is regarded by some scholars as a double reaction at the end of the 18th century against " the traditional attitude of Christian animosity mixed with disdain , which had prevailed for centuries " , in which the Christian reinterpretation of myth as a " lie " or fable had been retained .

In Germany , by about 1795 , there was a growing interest in Homer and Greek mythology .

In Göttingen Johann Matthias Gesner began to revive Greek studies and a new humanistic spirit .

His successor , Christian Gottlob Heyne , worked with Johann Joachim Winckelmann , and laid the foundations for mythological research both in Germany and elsewhere .

Heyne approached the myth as a philologist and shaped the educated Germans ' conception of antiquity for nearly half a century , during which ancient Greece exerted an intense influence on intellectual life in Germany .

Post-Impressionism

Post - Impressionism ( also spelled Postimpressionism ) is a predominantly French art movement that developed roughly between 1886 and 1905 , from the last Impressionist exhibition to the birth of Fauvism .

Post - Impressionism emerged as a reaction against Impressionists ' concern for the naturalistic depiction of light and colour .

Due to its broad emphasis on abstract qualities or symbolic content , Post - Impressionism encompasses Neo - Impressionism , Symbolism , Cloisonnism , Pont - Aven School , and Synthetism , along with some later Impressionists ' work .

The movement was led by Paul Cézanne ( known as father of Post - impressionism ) , Paul Gauguin , Vincent van Gogh , and Georges Seurat .

The term Post - Impressionism was first used by art critic Roger Fry in 1906 .

Critic Frank Rutter in a review of the Salon d'Automne published in Art News , 15 October 1910 , described Othon Friesz as a " post - impressionist leader " ; there was also an advert for the show The Post - Impressionists of France .

Three weeks later , Roger Fry used the term again when he organized the 1910 exhibition , Manet and the Post - Impressionists , defining it as the development of French art since Manet .

Post - Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations : they continued using vivid colours , often thick application of paint , and real - life subject matter , but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms , distort form for expressive effect , and use unnatural or arbitrary colour .

Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget ( , ; ; 9 August 1896 – 16 September 1980 ) was a Swiss psychologist known for his work on child development .

Piaget 's theory of cognitive development and epistemological view are together called " genetic epistemology " .

Piaget placed great importance on the education of children .

As the Director of the International Bureau of Education , he declared in 1934 that " only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse , whether violent , or gradual . "

His theory of child development is studied in pre - service education programs .

Educators continue to incorporate constructivist - based strategies .

Piaget created the International Center for Genetic Epistemology in Geneva in 1955 while on the faculty of the University of Geneva and directed the Center until his death in 1980 .

The number of collaborations that its founding made possible , and their impact , ultimately led to the Center being referred to in the scholarly literature as " Piaget 's factory " .

According to Ernst von Glasersfeld , Jean Piaget was " the great pioneer of the constructivist theory of knowing . "

However , his ideas did not become widely popularized until the 1960s .

This then led to the emergence of the study of development as a major sub - discipline in psychology .

By the end of the 20th century , Piaget was second only to B. F. Skinner as the most cited psychologist of that era .

Fort Sumter

Fort Sumter is a sea fort in Charleston , South Carolina , notable for two battles of the American Civil War .

It was one of a number of special forts planned after the War of 1812 , combining high walls and heavy masonry , and classified as Third System , as a grade of structural integrity .

Work started in 1829 , but was incomplete by 1860 , when South Carolina seceded from the Union .

The First Battle of Fort Sumter began on April 12 , 1861 , when Confederate artillery fired on the Union garrison .

These were the first shots of the war and continued all day , watched by many civilians in a celebratory spirit .

The fort had been cut off from its supply line and surrendered the next day .

The Second Battle of Fort Sumter ( September 8 , 1863 ) was a failed attempt by the Union to retake the fort , dogged by a rivalry between army and navy commanders .

Although the fort was reduced to rubble , it remained in Confederate hands until it was evacuated as General Sherman marched through South Carolina in February 1865 .

Fort Sumter is open for public tours as part of the Fort Sumter National Monument operated by the National Park Service .


Allan Octavian Hume

Allan Octavian Hume , CB ICS ( 6 June 1829 – 31 July 1912 ) was a member of the Imperial Civil Service ( later the Indian Civil Service ) , a political reformer , ornithologist and botanist who worked in British India .

He was one of the founders of the Indian National Congress , a political party that was later to lead in the Indian independence movement .

A notable ornithologist , Hume has been called " the Father of Indian Ornithology " and , by those who found him dogmatic , " the Pope of Indian ornithology " .

As an administrator of Etawah , he saw the Indian Rebellion of 1857 as a result of misgovernance and made great efforts to improve the lives of the common people .

The district of Etawah was among the first to be returned to normality and over the next few years Hume 's reforms led to the district being considered a model of development .

Hume rose in the ranks of the Indian Civil Service but like his father Joseph Hume , the radical MP , he was bold and outspoken in questioning British policies in India .

He rose in 1871 to the position of secretary to the Department of Revenue , Agriculture , and Commerce under Lord Mayo .

His criticism of Lord Lytton however led to his removal from the Secretariat in 1879 .

He founded the journal Stray Feathers in which he and his subscribers recorded notes on birds from across India .

He built up a vast collection of bird specimens at his home in Shimla by making collection expeditions and obtaining specimens through his network of correspondents .

Following the loss of manuscripts that he had long been maintaining in the hope of producing a magnum opus on the birds of India , he abandoned ornithology and gave his collection to the Natural History Museum in London , where it continues to be the single largest collection of Indian bird skins .

He was briefly a follower of the theosophical movement founded by Madame Blavatsky .

He left India in 1894 to live in London from where he continued to take an interest in the Indian National Congress , apart from taking an interest in botany and founding the South London Botanical Institute towards the end of his life .

The LP was the first made primarily without founding members and original lead singers Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams .

Paul Williams , on the other hand , had fallen ill due to complications from sickle - cell disease and six years of untreated alcoholism .

Uttarā (Mahabharata)

In the Hindu epic Mahabharata , Uttarā or Anglicized as Uttaraa ( उत्तरा ) was daughter of King Virata , at whose court the Pandavas spent a year in concealment during their exile .

It is also believed that Uttaraa had learnt dance from Arjuna during the Pandavas ' year of exile - in the Matsya Kingdom .

Living incognito , as was the term of the banishment , Arjuna lived a life of a eunuch and practiced his art of dance learnt from the apsaras in heaven .

Once King Virata realized who Uttaraa 's dance teacher was , he immediately proposed to offer his daughter to Arjuna .

However , Arjuna explained to King Virata the doting relationship that a teacher has with his / her student is like that of a parent and child .

He then proposed to make Uttaraa his daughter by marrying her to his son , Abhimanyu .

Uttaraa was widowed at a very young age when Abhimanyu was killed in the Kurukshetra war .

When Abhimanyu died , Uttaraa tried to burn herself on the pyre of Abhimanyu , but Krishna stopped her from doing so , informing her of her pregnancy .

Towards the end of the Mahabharata war , with Uttaraa in labor , Ashwathama , son of Dronacharya , while trying to avenge the defeat of Duryodhana and the Kaurava army , engaged in a war with Arjuna .

Knowing he could not best Arjuna conventionally , Ashathama invoked the potent Brahmastra , despite the promise he had made to the father / teacher that he would never use such a weapon .

When Arjuna fired a Brahmastra to match , Vyasa intervened , commanding both warriors to withdraw their weapons .

While Arjuna successfully did so , Ashwatthama did not possess the required knowledge .

Krishna suggested that Ashwatthama redirect the weapon to an uninhabited place .

Regretful , tired , but still vengeful , Ashwathama decided that if he could not end the Pandavas , he would end their lineage .

He fired the weapon at Uttaraa 's womb , attacking the fœtus form of Parikshit .

Krishna intervened and revived the stillborn baby , giving Parikshit his name .

As a punishment , Ashwathama was made to lose his source of power , the jewel that adorned his shining forehead .

This loss of the jewel that adorned his forehead made Ashwathama lose his state of mental alertness and he was forced to retire to obscurity as a derelict in the forests .

Parikshit became heir to the Kuru dynasty and eventually became king of Hastinapur .

In due time , Parikshit gave Uttaraa a grandson , Janamejaya .

Emmanuel Chabrier

Alexis - Emmanuel Chabrier (; 18 January 184113 September 1894 ) was a Romantic composer and pianist , born in Ambert , central France .

His bourgeois family did not approve of a musical career for him , and his studies at law school in Paris to the age of thirty - nine he worked as a civil servant , while immersing himself in the modernist artistic life of the French capital , and composing in his spare time .

From 1880 until his final illness he was a full - time composer .

Although known primarily for two of his orchestral works , España and Joyeuse marche , Chabrier left a corpus of operas ( including L'étoile ) , songs , and piano music , but no symphonies , concertos , quartets , sonatas , or religious or liturgical music .

His lack of academic training left him free to create his own musical language , unaffected by established rules , and he was regarded by many later composers as an important innovator .

He was admired by , and influenced , composers as diverse as Debussy , Ravel , Richard Strauss , Satie , Stravinsky , and the group of composers known as Les six .

Writing at a time when French musicians were generally proponents or opponents of the music of Wagner , Chabrier steered a middle course , sometimes incorporating Wagnerian traits into his music and at other times avoiding them .

Chabrier was associated with some of the leading writers and painters of his time .

Among his closest friends was the painter Édouard Manet , and Chabrier collected Impressionist paintings long before they became fashionable .

A number of such paintings from his personal collection by artists known to him are now housed in some of the world 's leading art museums .

He penned a large number of letters to friends and colleagues which offer an insight into his musical opinions and character .

Chabrier died in Paris at the age of fifty - three from a neurological disease , probably caused by syphilis .

Pilot (Suits)

" Pilot " is the pilot episode of the American legal comedy - drama Suits , which premiered on USA Network in the United States on June 23 , 2011 .

The episode was written by series creator Aaron Korsh and was directed by Kevin Bray .

The series revolves around two lawyers who , between the two of them , have only one law degree .

Harvey Specter ( Gabriel Macht ) is promoted to senior partner of the Pearson Hardman law firm .

To his annoyance , company policy requires he hire a Harvard Law School graduate as his associate attorney .

Meanwhile , college dropout Mike Ross ( Patrick J. Adams ) delivers a suitcase of marijuana for a friend , only to find that the drop is a sting operation .

While escaping the police , he mistakenly sits for an interview with Harvey and impresses the attorney with his eidetic memory , encyclopedic knowledge of law , and drive to become a good lawyer .

Despite Mike 's lack of a law degree , Harvey hires him .

On Mike 's first day , Harvey must personally handle a pro bono case to keep his promotion .

Instead , he has Mike take care of the suit , in which a woman claims her boss sexually harassed her .

The series was originally written as a spec script for a half - hour drama set on Wall Street .

Korsh later decided to change the premise because , unlike working on Wall Street , working as a lawyer requires several qualifications .

The episode was watched by an estimated 4.64 million viewers and saw a double - digit growth over the January premiere of the network 's other legal drama Fairly Legal .

However , critical reception was mixed .

Some reviewers described the premise as absurd and preposterous and criticized the characters , most notably Harvey .

Conversely , others lauded the characters ' interactions and the snappy dialogue and praised the series ' attempt to make the typical USA formula more grounded and edgy .

Frank Stone (painter)

Frank Stone ( 22 August 1800 – 18 November 1859 ) was an English painter .

He was born in Manchester , and was entirely self - taught .

He was elected an Associate of the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1833 and Member in 1843 ; and an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1851 .

The works he first exhibited at the Academy were portraits , but from 1840 onwards he contributed figure pictures , scenes from Shakespeare , scripture and sentimental subjects , many of which were engraved .

In 1850 he led the opposition within the Academy to the innovations of the Pre - Raphaelite Brotherhood , having already criticised their work in the previous year .

When Dante Gabriel Rossetti wrote a very critical review of Stone 's work in return , Stone launched an outright assault on Pre - Raphaelitism , initiating the controversy that engulfed the movement .

Leading Pre - Raphaelite William Holman Hunt later depicted a print of one of Stone 's works in the background of his painting The Awakening Conscience .

It has been suggested that this was intended as an insult , since the furniture of the room was supposed to represent the bad taste of the characters depicted .

According to William Powell Frith , Stone was a loyal friend , but very argumentative , " No fair - weather friend was he , but true as steel when friendly countenance might be sorely needed .

Still , I confess there were drawbacks to the enjoyment of Stone 's society .

It was enough for anyone to advance an opinion for Stone to differ from it . "

He was the father of the painter Marcus Stone who illustrated many works by Charles Dickens ( the Stones were Dickens ' neighbours for many years ) and himself produced a frontispiece for an edition of Martin Chuzzlewit .
