I knew there was additional significance in the art when calligraphic forms were included - like others taking the course, I would love even a passing understanding of the messages. This picture is at once a scene of the sea and the sky, a fantastic landscape in blue and a display of shape and form.

I have been a student and instructor of Middle Eastern Dance since 1977. I got into the cultural aspects - art, history, images - about 20 years into it. I love this opportunity to further my understanding, and have invited a number of friends to join us

So- shooting rockets into the atmosphere to deliver communications satellites - science and technology in action. Peoples' comments mention WiFi and use of cell phones and the internet. These things are supported by science and tech as much as they promote additional use of said science and tech. The stuff we depend on for one reason or another.

so - why is the yang and yin absolute? how does that fit into the tao - or not...?

Jo Anne Zingo made a comment
I recall something that said it was alright to open your mind because your brain won't fall out. The course to date has told us a lot about the Tao - what it has not done is to cite quotes or share passages. I am open to everything about this course so far and enjoying it all... I was not aware that the I Ching predated Lau Tsu and the Tao Te Ching, since...

Easy was wave forms because I am familiar with them. Not so much the movement causation stuff, and while I marvel at MoCap, it was too techy for me. Here's a video for everyone as I keep om keepin' on http://www.evadeaza.ro/video-blog/justsomemotion-parov-stelar-all-night

This course is not what I expected. While I find the science of music interesting, I'm not getting my head around all of it. I dislike feeling stoopid, but a soldiering on

1: head to toe movement - like a slow falling or collapsing. 2: turn of the head with a stare. 3: ground to air movement - rolling up through the entire body

butterfly - I put on my dancing wings (yes there is such a thing) ,took little steps and moved the wings fast, slow, fluttery, etc. pyramid - this was evoked movements from my modern dance vocabulary - grounded, sweeping arm and leg movements closing into the body, spiraling turns, reaching up - did not listen to the words - that might be something else...

#1 is metal - maybe metal striking metal and impulsive
#2 is a woody material - maybe being rubbed or scratching on a surface and sustained (?)
#3 sounds like writing on a board with points being made it seems to be iterative -

I don't understand why motion is technical and movement is not. Each describes a physical occurrence. While we don't "mosh", the word motion is derived from the word move "the action or process of moving or being moved ", and movement is defined as "an act of changing physical location or position". finlly, as nouns, motion and movement are considered...

The first time through the Mozart early section I started to tap my foot when the winds came in, so I may be a hopeless case. As I sat still during the second section, I thought about how the violinists were all moving they played and one of them even stood pt way out of his seat, so why shouldn't I have a visceral response. As for the jazz, an the layered...

I have read two - Ozone and Microbeads. Asking these questions brings the depth of these issues to the surface!!
The ozone pollution poses a quandary for the researchers to identify ways to stop the pollutant in Hong Kong. Across the globe, our style of living is based on using fuels which put poisonous elements into the air we breathe. Manufacturing...

I am no expert, but it seems that in recent history, the chieftains of desert tribes in Afghanistan and Pakistan allied themselves against the Taliban. when the US ans its allies entered the picture, many of them joined forces withe the Western allies, sharing intelligence and acting as gudes

When I went to Saqqara there were small tombs, ostensibly for architects and perhaps foremen on the job. I thought there was a lot of info - so my questions: were these soldiers farmers recruited by local governors (common before the fight with the Hyksos)? and would they not have been interred near their "leaders" if they made it back from the fight...

A similar situation might be the Berbers taking over parts of Spain to spread the word of Mohamed in the 8th century. They renamed it Al Andalus and proclaimed it as a Caliphate of Ummayad/Damascus andruled as foreigh occupiers. The first 40 years were more or less peaceful but over the next 300 years of Moorish rule, Hispania was taken back by the indigenous...

I'm with Astrid - while it isn't specified, the Nile Delta would be a fabulously rich area in the midst of several deserts, attractive to foreigners, Palestinian or otherwise. I am on another page for the seasons and priests as rulers. They may have identified the calendar elements, but once the seasons were established, the priests didn't need to tell the...

Interesting to me is that the writing style of his accounts is "artful" and treated as literature rather than historical accounts. Kamose's influence is best measured by his convincing the court that the Hyksos had to go. Once they bought in, and even though final victory went to his successor, the Thebean rule of the whole of Egypt was an important factor...
