Forum of Augustus

The statuary in the Forum of Augustus displays busts of Augustus' ancestors. The southeast hemicircle has a sculpture of Romulus, holding the armor and spoils of one of and enemy commander that has been been killed by a Roman. In the northwest hemicycle stood a statue group of Aeneas carrying his father Anchises (who held the sacred Penates of Troy)and holding his son Ascanius by the hand. The hemicircles are followed by long colonnades of important Roman men. The northwest hemicircle was surrounded by busts of Alban kings and the colonnade that followed that side had the Julian lineage of busts. The southeast side's colonnade displays an estimated 108 busts of the summi viri, or important men. The center of the forum holds a statue of Augustus in a victorious chariot, with the inscription Pater Patriae or "father of the fatherland." The statuary is meant to prove that Augustus is descended from the gods and the founders of Rome and it is his destiny to rule Rome.

In the land of Uz there lived a man named Job and he was a simple and righteous fearing God and avoiding evil and born unto him were seven sons and three girls.
And in his possession were seven thousand sheep and three thousands camels
Likewise, 500 yoke of oxen and 500 female asses and a exceedingly large family and this man is greater than any of the men in all the east
And he walked with his sons and they made a feast throughout their home, each one his own day, and his men sent and summoned three of his sisters to put away the banquet and drink when they at any time they went over around the day of the banquet they were sent by Job and sanctified that who they ambushed at dawn he offered burnt sacrifices even though he said that his sons were sinners burned the sacrifice for every sin and they indeed, truly my sons have sinned and they praise God with their hearts thus they make Job (all day) but with the day the sons came God appeared before them
and on that particular day the sons of God were sent to appear before God and with them came Satan

galileo

It is seven minutes away from the eastern most point of Jupiter, 0 minutes over 30 seconds apart from the next one; The true easternmost point is 2 minutes from Jupiter: it is the outermost, brightly burning and the largest left surviving, which appears to be very small. By the most true easternmost line, I lead by the remaining part of Jupiter and a little by the raised north star they can see. I will have noticed that it will pass from its fixed easternmost position, The planet is 8 minutes away, perpendicular in regard to the highest planet’s line by all the extensive planets; but it is revealed as though it was right next to the figure.Jupiter and the other planets are adjacent to the immovable planets in comparison, the planets come forward up from under that, then the second length, likewise then the second latitude, with movement, that they were drawn up from the records, that they come together by claws, whoever it pleases to be able to understand. The fourth of the planets Mercury is observed, I recently discovered that first, from that, I gave it although that number had not been obtained yet, Although I announced it when I deemed appropriate.And the First, when Jupiter follows in a similar mode, They go before in manner, by then they go and descend in a line, then in sunset they spread out along one line, and the same they equally go backwards in the direction that they came, then they complete their own circles conversely. They repulse each other in equal circles: which manifests from the collision, Jupiter evidently digresses from the other planets.They detected it above, the planets are able to change their narrow circle todescribe the orbit of Jupiter: namely the star that is usually adjacent to the eastermmost part of Jupiter, with moving backwards perpendicularly from the original, and conversely: but the Planet, the most opposite orbit, they accurately describe the reverse, they have seen the reinstatement. Besides the existing declaration I have a small argument after that withdrawl, whih in the Copernicus system says that the planets circle the sun which is considered the steed, to a certain extent they confuse from the moon alone circles around the earth latitudanally, meanwhile both orbit around the sun annually, to this universe’s order, as it were impossible, they destroy what was observed: now indeed, still one other planet has a changeable circle, while both great circles orbit all around the sun, four forms resembling the earth’s moon circle Jupiter, feeling that we wander because of the stars, while all with Jupiter at the same time, 12 years for one orbit, they all orbit around the great Sun. They do not eventually pass, who on the other hand it turns out that they touch, to the Middle Star, while the narrow circle of Jupiter sums up a revolution, they sometimes see it itself doubly in any place. They are able complain of cause of the steam in the little earth; they namely increase the preparations, or if they lessen, while Jupiter and the neighboring unwavering great masses do not change or alter. That it comes but, approach and the earth withdrawls, its circle rotates, but it does not obtain the cause of the change, they see the inconceivable entirely: for the short circle right he is strong, it truthfully moves in an oval circle (which in that is able to move in the right way) and inconceivable, and it does not appear to move harmoniously, they are seeing. Which it helps in this, it pleases me to bring forward, and I present and think of the right philosophy and judgment. They agree, the moon orbits around the earth and the earth orbits around the sun, but the other smaller planets appear to be immovable: the moon rises from the horizon, the stars in truth, are smaller but are too plentiful to be inconspicuous, and also they diminish the greatness.

Love Letter

His lord, more correctly his father; his spouse, more correctly his brother, indeed his sister, disapproves the wedlock or Heloise and Abelene.
A friend of mine consoled a letter, you’re my beloved recently you’ve been able to bring me strength. Out of the heading I am immediately able to look upon your dear face myself, I read it so passionately and allow the dear author himself to surround me, to which it ruins my words and causes me to dance as his likeness is restored. They have been remembered; these letters speak every poison and are full of wormwood.
My complete reverence is in this letter in which in the beginning it promises my love to you, while one may see clearly in comparison your mistakes are not his or that he considered them little; Where indeed the teachers first set out to persecute you, then to your body they injured in the highest betrayal, to your fellow students likewise clearly Alberici, Remensis and Lotulfi Lumbardi be cursed and hated and vexed excessively and have their names etched into columns. Which indeed they suggest that you were condemned to spend time in jail for your theology. Indeed you add to your wrongdoings from your abbot and brother, I withdrawal your heavy pain and scandal from naming your oracle in the name of Paracliti. Then you end this sad story and still the cruel persecutions against you continue of course at the hands of the monks and accomplished tyrants that you call sons.
And then no one will be able to even read or even hear the value of this with dry eyes, this great pain is renewed greatly when they carefully express your pain and they increase to this point in your increasing danger you bring; so we all are forced to make ready for the despair of your life, and wait every day for the rumors of your death from and with trembling and throbbing hearts we wait. Therefore we pray to Christ who thus far protects you, to what extent the little maid-servant herself by your thick letter about your dignified shipwrecks, but not one, likewise one remains, you have shared you sorrow with us.

His lord, more correctly his father; his spouse, more correctly his brother, indeed his sister, disapproves the wedlock or Heloise and Abelene.
A friend of mine consoled a letter, you’re my beloved recently you’ve been able to bring me strength. Which out of myself I am able to admire your dear forehead

It's a love story, baby just say yes

The story of Peter Abelard and Heloise began in France in about the year 1115. Peter was a brilliant theologian, scholastic and philosopher. Heloise was an abbess and known for her knowledge of not only Latin, but also Greek and Hebrew. She was living within the walls of the Cathedral of Notre Dame under the care of her uncle, Fulbert, who was the canon. Peter was a chair at the Cathedral and soon learned of Heloise's beauty and intelligence. He stayed with Heloise and her uncle under the guise of educating her further. The two quickly fell in love, but the relationship interfered with Peter's career and Peter was no longer secretive about their love. Fulbert found then out and insisted that they separated. However, they still met in secret. Then Heloise discovered that she was pregnant and Peter sent her to live in Brittany with his sister. She named their son Astrolabe, after the scientific instrument. Peter proposed a secret marriage to Heloise to appease Fulbert to prevent from marring his career. She initially opposed it, but they did marry. Fulbert disclosed the marriage and Heloise denied it. Peter sent her to become a nun. Fulbert believed that Peter did that because he wanted to be rid of her so he castrated Peter, ending his career. The two wrote letters to each other forming the set of 113 anonymous love letters found in a fifteenth century manuscript represent the correspondence exchanged by Héloïse and Abelard during the earlier phase of their affair.

Fig Newton

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me"



Sir Isaac Newton was born January 4, 1643 in England. He was a physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian. Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed the theory that a prism decomposes white light into many colors which form the visible spectrum or a rainbow. He developed an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound. He developed the differential and integral calculus alongside Gottfried Leibniz. He demonstrated the generalized binomial theorem, developed the so-called "Newton's method" for approximating the zeroes of a function, and contributed to the study of power series.

He wrote the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687. In this book, Newton lays the groundwork for most of classical mechanics through developing the three laws of motion, his explanation of gravity, and he showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion. He removed the last doubts of heliocentrism.

Newton was very religious, and unorthodox. He produced more work on Biblical hermeneutics than the natural science he is remembered for today.

He is remembered today as the being the most influential scientist on the history of science through the 2005 survey of scientists in Britain's Royal Society.

He died March 31, 1727.
