How the Alexandria looks today.














A little history about the library.

"Alexandria (population 4 million) is Egypt's second-largest city. It was founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BC - not being the most modern person on Earth, he simply named it after himself. Then the city grew continuously, in size and importance - becoming one of the major sites of the antique Mediterranean. It was famous for its lighthouse (built in the 3rd century BC, between 285 and 247 BC) which was included in the Seven Wonders of the World. However, what was most crucial in giving Alexandria the reputation of being an intellectual hub, was the legendary Royal Library of Alexandria - at the time of its existence the greatest library in the world.
Unfortunately, it was destroyed,but in 2003 the Bibliotheca Alexandria was opened at almost the same place."

An obelisk (from Greek ὀβελίσκος - obeliskos,diminutive of ὀβελός - obelos, "spit, nail, pointed pillar") is a tall, narrow, four-sided, tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape at the top. Ancient obelisks were often monolithic whereas most modern obelisks are made of several stones, and can even have interior spaces.


My ununderstandingshat they were built to honor the sun God Ra, and represent the sun rays shining down. Similar to a pyrmid. and are found in New york, London, paris, etc.

ROUSSEAU and the FAIR:
"1889
• He visits the 1889 Paris World's Fair and is inspired to write a play on the subject, a light comedy entitled A Visit to the 1889 Exhibition.
• He also paints Myself, Portrait-Landscape in which he features the Eiffel Tower, the famous Paris landmark built for the 1889 Exhibition."

The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun. One half of the lunar surface is always illuminated by the Sun (except during lunar eclipses), and hence is bright, but the portion of the illuminated hemisphere that is visible to an observer can vary from 100% (full moon) to 0% (new moon). The boundary between the illuminated and unilluminated hemispheres is called the terminator.

Astromony-Fingerprints of Atoms,

From DVD Lecture UNDERSTANDING THE UNIVERSE: AN INTRODUCTION TO ASTRONOMY (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT BERKELY) and teacher instruction (3 1/2 hours)















Show an image and define radiation in terms of electric charge:
In physics, radiation describes any process in which energy emitted by one body travels through a medium or through space, ultimately to be absorbed by another body. ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation


All matter is composed of atoms and many atoms are unstable. In fact, over half of the elements in the periodic table including uranium, are in a constant process of rearranging themselves. This is not something that humanity can control.
When the nucleus of an atom attempts to become more stable, it releases energy, known as radiation. Once this happens the original atom changes into a new atom. In some instances, a new element is formed and in other cases, a new form of the original element, called an isotope, appears. The spontaneous change in the nucleus of an unstable atom that results in the emission of radiation is called radioactivity and this process of change is often referred to as the decay of atoms. (google.com)


Show an image and define Magnetic energyThe potential energy of a magnetic field

Define an Isotope (image if available):one of two or more atoms with the same atomic number but with different numbers of neutrons

Define an Ion:a particle that is electrically charged (positive or negative); an atom or molecule or group that has lost or gained one or more electrons
(wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)
Define Ionization:Ionization is the physical process of converting an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or other ions. This is often confused with dissociation (chemistry).
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization)
Define Plank's equation E= hv
This equation shows the property of light. The equation above is a fundamental equation to spectroscopists. Energy is equal to Planck's constant times nu (the Greek letter). Where E=energy in J or calories, h=Planks constant [6.022 x 10^-34 J·s, and v is the frequency of the photon (light) in Hz (or reciprocal seconds). Note also that another fundament equation is c=v·lambda (c=speed of light, lambda is wavelength of light).You could use the above equation, for example, to find out how much energy (in kilojoules) is carried by one einstein (one mole of photons) of red light with wavelength of 650nm. Some conversions need to take place, it you do the right maths you get 184 kJ/mol. Similarly blue light of wavelength 400 nm is 299 kJ/mol.
(yahooanswers.com)
Define Ultra violet light and upload an image:Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than x-rays, in the range 10.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-violet_light)



Define Infra red light and up load an image:A color of light redder than the human eye can see. Infrared light has wavelengths that are at least twice as long as green light. Besides visible light and infrared light there are many more types of light. These differ from each other by their wavelength. ... (isc.astro.cornell.edu/~spoon/crashcourse/glossary.html)
Define an upload an image of Continuous Spectrum:Continuum of emited wave lengths.
" Bright line spectrum" and Continuous spectrum with dark lines


How can Astronomers know with absolute certainty that a particular star has Helium or any other element in it?
Because they use spectrum's. Each element has their own pattern within a spectrum. Therefore scientists recognize each elements pattern when they view light spectrum coming from a star. They analyze either the emission, absorption or continuous spectrum patterns.This is an image that shows how each element has a different line pattern.








Are all elements that are on the periodic table also found in the Universe, how do we know this?
yes,because they have not found any new elements in the universe at this time.They know this by using spectrum's.

Art History- Toulouse Lautrec

Review


The Post impressionists-Toulouse Lautrec (51 Min's)

Give a brief summary of how he lived and died , in your own words.(ex. what artists influenced him, his childhood his lifestyle, were he liked to go etc.) Remember be thoughtful, like the art historian you art Miranda.
Toulouse Lautrec was born in 1864 on Christmas eve.He was born very rich, in Paris. When he was a child his legs were cripple. Toulouse Lautrec in his teen years, broke his left leg and soon after he broke his right.His legs never healed right, this stunted the growth of his legs.His legs were as a child but his body was of a grown man.As an adult he went to Moulin Roung almost every day painting all the women he loved and adored looking at.Gauguin and Van Gogh influenced him a lot.He continued painting through out his life, including when he was in a asylum, to stop him from drink, when he got out soon after he die, at the age 36.
Did he live a bohemian lifestyle and why?
Yes because he believed in the Bohemian lifestyle and also believed in Truth ,Beauty,Freedom, and Love, which is the Bohemian mod-do.He also owned no land and drank a lot which is a lot like a Bohemian.

Moulin Rouge means what?Red windmill
Describe what it was? Moulin Rouge (French for Red Windmill) is a cabaret built in 1889 by Joseph Oller, who also owned the Paris Olympia. Close to Montmartre in the Paris red-light district of Pigalle on Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th arrondissement, it is marked by the facsimile of a red windmill on its roof.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moulin_Rouge) When the Moulin Rouge opened on October 5, 1889, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec had already gained much popularity within the bohemian community and was one of the invite-only guests at the opening night party. The Moulin Rouge, which means "red mill," was just that: a huge windmill painted red. It became a landmark, and a symbol of the joie de vivre — the joy of life — in Paris at the time.
The Moulin Rouge was the "rendezvous du high life." It was a theater, a concert hall, and a dance hall — all at the same time.
People came from all over to dance, to watch the dancers, and to watch each other watching the dancers. And Lautrec was there, at the same table every night, drinking and sketching everything which caught his fancy, particularly the dancers.
Try to find a picture of the Moulin Rouge in his time.

Define Delirium Tremors:
The main symptoms are confusion, diarrhoea, disorientation and agitation and other signs of severe autonomic instability (fever, tachycardia, hypertension). Other common symptoms include intense perceptual disturbance such as visions of insects, snakes or rats (or stereotypically, pink elephants or tiny figures). These may be hallucinations, or illusions related to the environment, e.g., patterns on the wallpaper that the patient perceives as giant spiders attacking him or her. Unlike hallucinations associated with schizophrenia, delirium tremens hallucinations are primarily visual, but are also associated with tactile hallucinations such as sensations of something crawling on the subject - a phenomenon known as formication.Delirium tremens (colloquially, the DTs, "the horrors", "the fear", "the abdabs", "the jimjams" or "the rats"; afflicted individuals referred to as "jitterbugs" in 1930s Harlem slang; literally, "shaking delirium" or "'trembling madness" in Latin) is an acute episode of delirium that is usually caused by withdrawal from alcohol, first described in 1813. Benzodiazepines are the treatment of choice for delirium tremens.
