When did the Roman Army adopt the Gladius?

When-did-the-Roman-Army-adopt-the-Gladius

Easter Facts

You may not know this, but the vast majority of experts (including secular ones) on the life of Jesus overwhelmingly agree on four facts of history:
  • Jesus died on a Roman cross and was buried in a tomb.
  • The tomb was empty three days later.
  • Various individuals (and sometimes whole groups of people) experienced what they took to be the resurrected Jesus.
  • A skeptical non-believer—James, the brother of Jesus—and a vicious persecutor of Christians—Saul of Tarsus—did an immediate about-face based on what they claimed was an encounter with the risen Christ, and both suffered martyrdom rather than recant.
What historians don’t agree on is what best explains these four facts pertaining to Jesus.
But there aren’t many options.
Jesus was dead. He suffered a brutal execution, was pronounced dead by a battle-seasoned Roman centurion, and laid in a cold crypt.
Three days later, the tomb was empty, a fact even Jesus’ enemies did not dispute.
And what of the sightings? One theory is that the disciples were hallucinating. Really? How do multiple individuals and whole groups of people hallucinate the same thing at the same time many times over at multiple locations?  That doesn’t happen.
And what of James and Paul? They had absolutely no native interest in conjuring a resurrection story, nor was there any evidence they were in a mental state that motived them to see what wasn’t really there.
So, what explanation accounts for all four facts? 
Only one answer will do. In Peter’s words, “This Jesus, God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses” (Acts 2:32).

Chapter 4: Aegean World and the Rise of Greece

The Ancient Greeks

This is a survey of ancient Greek history from the Bronze Age to the death of Socrates in 399 BCE. Along with studying the most important events and personalities, we will consider broader issues such as political and cultural values and methods of historical interpretation.


We will start our first module with an overview of the physical and geographical setting for our class – “the Greek world.” Then we will move rapidly across many centuries, beginning with two Bronze Age civilizations: Minoan on the island of Crete, and Mycenaean on the mainland. Our evidence for both of these is almost purely archaeological, and so you can consider the ways scholars have interpreted material remains to build a picture of how the societies were structured. After the collapse of Mycenaean civilization, there followed the so-called Dark Ages. These four centuries pose for us the challenge of reconstructing what happened during a long period that has left relatively little evidence. We will conclude this module with an all too brief consideration of the two magnificent Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, whose stories and heroes became essential elements in Greek cultural identity.

Reading Assignment 1

Iliad, Books 1, 2, 6, 9, 18, 24. As you read these selections, pay close attention to how the characters interact with each other.

There are at least four excellent, widely available modern English translations of both epics, by (in chronological order) Richmond Lattimore, Robert Fitzgerald, Robert Fagles, and Stanley Lombardo.
Available online is a fine contemporary translation by Ian Johnston –

http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/homer/iliad1.htm
Homer, The Iliad, 17:58


Iliad Lecture

Reading Assignment 2

Odyssey, Books 1, 5, 9-12, 21-24. As you read, think about how this poem is similar to, and different from, the Iliad.

Also available online are: a late-19th-century version by Samuel Butler –

and an early-20th-century version by A. T. Taylor –

About this Lecture
Abstract:
“The Catholic Church has been a true friend to the natural sciences throughout its history from Nicolaus Copernicus to Gregor Mendel to Nicolas Steno and to Monsignor Georges Lemaître who discovered the Big Bang Theory. Unfortunately, the popular media has suggested that the evidence for God is subsiding from the domain of contemporary science and philosophy. However, four recent developments in physical cosmology militate against this, pointing not only to a transcendent cause beyond physical reality itself, but also to the probable intelligence of that cause:

1.   The Borde-Vilenkin-Guth Proof of a beginning of all expanding cosmologies,

2.   The new evidence from entropy indicating a beginning of our universe as well as any other universe or multiverse acting as a physical system subject to the Second Law of Thermodynamics,

3.   The fine-tuning required for exceedingly low entropy (necessary for life forms) at the Big Bang,

4.   The fine-tuning necessary for twelve universal constants to have the precise values needed for an anthropic universe (making possible the development of life forms).

Father Spitzer will discuss these four kinds of evidence and their vast applicability not only to our universe, but other hypothetical models of physical reality (such as multiverses and universes in the higher-dimensional space of string theory). He will also examine the multiverse hypothesis as a potential alternative to an intelligent creator.”

Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D.

Three Steps to Follow Conference

Let's start changing that this week!
There are three steps to turning new knowledge into action:
1. When you learn something, this develops new neural pathways in your thinking brain, which loves the stimulation. However, these pathways will fade if you don't reinforce them.
2. Create an image of how the new ideas will look in your life if you apply them. How would this make you feel? This activates your emotional brain, which releases peptides that help you hold on to what you've learned.
3. Practice your new learning in the real world. A positive experience increases the chances you'll do this again.

Lecture Five Constitution: Texas v. Johnson, Freedom of Speech

Watch Lecture Five:

Texas v. Johnson: Freedom of Speech”


Overview:

The Founders did not think the right to freedom of speech encompassed every conceivable utterance or writing. Accordingly, the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause is meant to protect political speech. Over time, however, the Supreme Court has placed various forms of symbolic speech—also known as expressive conduct—under the protection of the First Amendment.

Quality of Hire and How Hired


Saturday, November 2, 2019

Networking Procedure



Here's an easy way to turn dreaded employment networking into deadly effective bonding:

When you're networking, ask for a reference, not a job.

Whether you're doing catch-up drinks or grabbing lunch to reconnect, your primary need is to get an ally, not a tally of job listings. Recruiting a helping hand to your search is your goal.

So don't ask your college friend if she knows of any jobs for people like you. How would she?

And don't ask your boss from two jobs ago if he has the names of any people who are currently looking to hire somebody like you. It puts him on the spot. Uncomfortably.

No, instead, ask for a reference. Mention that you're going to be moving on, or that you're already looking, or that you're actively out on the street. Let them know the type of positions you are and are not suited for, and what you're hoping to achieve in your next opportunity.

And then ask them if it would be OK to use them as a reference when you’re at that point of your search.

By not putting them on the spot about specific job openings, you reduce the awkwardness inherent in the networking conversation.

And by letting them know that you hold them in high enough esteem to potentially use them as a reference, you're actually paying them a compliment.

You're also making it easier for them to say "yes", and to feel good about themselves for being a good friend and helping you out with a little favor.

All of which means that you have a new buddy in your search — one who's going to be thinking about keeping an eye out for new opportunities for their friend with good taste in references: you.

It's wins and grins all around.

Now, this doesn't work for just any old person you meet on the street. There's probably a pretty good match between people you'd take to lunch and those you could ask to be a reference. So my advice would be to stick to asking those you know well enough.

The widely offered and deeply wrong advice from the past decade that you should try to extract favors, concessions, names, jobs, and career assistance from people you've only met over the phone is not only useless, it can be counterproductive to your aims by antagonizing your broader network.

By making your networking about compliments, you'll find it pays dividends.

Good luck in the search this week!

Roe v. Wade, Privacy and Liberty

Overview:

The Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade declared a right to an abortion as part of a right to privacy—a term not found in the Constitution. The Court’s second landmark decision on the issue, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, gave abortion rights a new grounding in an understanding of liberty that marked an explicit rejection of the Founders’ belief in an unchanging human nature. Both cases touch on fundamental questions of morality, liberty, and government power.
