MEMORIALS –WHAT ARE THEY? By : Nathan Martyn According to the American Heritage College Dictionary, a memorial is defined as “something to honor the memory of a person (usually deceased) or an event”. A memorial can be anything from the epitaph on a gravestone, to a statue. Memorials the world over can vary depending on the culture. For example, Mexican people celebrate a “day of the dead” in memory of dead ancestors -- similar rituals are observed all over the world. A memorial service is the most popular way for people to pay homage to dead loved ones. A few forms of memorials are described below: How Ingenuity Saved The Life Of A Pope And The Political Structure Of Europe By : Luat Tran Van The Black Death that affected almost the whole northern hemisphere between 1333 and 1352 was the result of environmental and climatic changes that took place because of natural causes; Greenland became much colder, central Asia suffered long drought periods, famine and migrations, both of people as well as animals, and it was near the lake Issyk-Koul where the first cases of this particularly virulent occurrence of bubonic plague took place. Learning Survival From Historical Mass Destruction Scenarios By : Luat Tran Van Survival techniques related mass destruction weapons or WMDs are based on both practical cases - which are relatively few and far between - as well as theoretical knowledge; some tests have been conducted on this matter also, but the whole body of knowledge related to WMDs in general is rather scarce because despite that they have been used for warfare in some occasions and the lethality that they have displayed, the number of real-life scenarios as well as survivors to those menaces is rather scarce. The Story Of Rype By : Luat Tran Van Life has some surprises in store for the most unlikely individuals, and as Borges would have it in his Lottery of Babylon, you get the prizes that come to you, and you can't refuse them, good or bad as they might be; one day you may be living a splendid childhood, and the next one, you may watch everyone around you pass away; you may survive as a savage, and then become a millionaire. How Private Property May Kill You By : Luat Tran Van If we take a look at pictures made by artists like Hieronimus Bosch about death and the plague, specifically about the Black Death that ravaged almost the whole northern hemisphere between 1333 and 1352, the impression that death is the great equalizer of social classes, pocket depths and religious beliefs becomes immediately apparent. Comments On Political And Religious Fanaticism By : Luat Tran Van Religion is belief: you can believe in revealed words, in divine lessons, in holy books or whatever. All religions have significant belief components - albeit they are generally more complex philosophical entities - and they are all respectable indeed, at least because no one can say whether one religion is better or more rightful than any other: but even considering this, which is pretty rational, there are individuals that can thing wrongly about religion and induce intolerant attitudes. The Purple Of Tyre By : Luat Tran Van If we ponder a little about those animals that have proved to be very valuable to humans we would probably think about cattle, horses, or pets, but few know that a couple of rather smallish gastropods from Mediterranean shores have been as valuable as gold since ancient times. Creationism, Odds, Biology And Games By : Luat Tran Van Many people without education in mathematics find it hard to understand how odds and probabilities shape our world, and how it is that seemingly impossible things happen. Religion And Survival By : Luat Tran Van Regarding survival and religion we can see several different aspects and issues because these two concepts of human culture and development are more related than we may foresee initially; instead, we can say that they are very related to one another: - We also should understand religion as a survival tool for perilous and dangerous situations, catastrophes and all sorts of disasters, for it is one thing that individuals can cling to whenever they have lost everything else. Religion should not be underestimated as a factor to motivate survivors. I Prefer The Trial Of Zurvan Rather Than Talking To A Despicable Judge By : Luat Tran Van One of the things that humankind has to get rid of in order to continue its progress is the concept of justice in the hands of the state.
