Commmius Research Paper

My presentation is on why the pictures of American presidents are placed on money, and what the other symbols on money mean. I will also discuss why Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin are also on American money, despite the fact that they never served as President of the United States, and I will compare the symbols and portraits of Turkish lira to the symbols and portraits on the American dollar.

"At daybreak great multitudes of men came to the shore, all young and of fine shapes, and very handsome. Their hair was not curly but loose and coarse like horse-hair. All have foreheads much broader than any people I had hitherto seen. Their eyes are large and very beautiful. They are not black, but the color of the inhabitants of the Canaries. I was very attentive to them, and strove to learn if they had any gold. Seeing some of them with little bits of metal hanging at their noses, I gathered from them by signs that by going southward or steering round the island in that direction, there would be found a king who possessed great cups of gold."

Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated have made everlasting effects on my life. Having mentors in this fraternity allowed me to see how every member feels responsible for improving the communities that they are from. They never hesitate to take the leadership roles that are needed to see change. I would like to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha because it would allow us to share a brotherhood with great men, it will allow me to make valuable connections with other positive men around the world, and it will help me become the best version of myself. My desire to become a member of this fraternity began my freshmen year after I attended the first informational meeting. At this meeting I was able to speak with members and also learn from them. They each have strong leadership characteristics that allow them to serve on executive boards across campus and they all are high achieving students at Cornell.

The U.S. penny has been a standard in our currency system for almost as long as our country has existed as a sovereign nation, but due to inflation, production costs, and the changing times we live in, it is no longer a sustainable unit of currency and only serves to increase our national deficit and waste our time. When the penny was produced for the first time in 1792 by the U.S. Mint, it was made of pure copper, featured a woman with flowing hair, and was inscribed with the words “Liberty”. Since then, the design and composition have changed numerous times to reflect our changing nation. Despite its fading glory, the penny has been kept alive by numerous false lobbying fronts and a stubborn ideology, but

This coin has the capital on the front to show it was the center of action during colonial times.The back has the world crest of arms symbolizing the lion as England and the unicorn as America.

African-Americans in the South after the Civil War were new to the concept of freedom, yet that very small two syllable word meant a lot to them. Slaves were not considered as a piece of property that could be used and abused by their slaveholders anymore. Slaves families were separated by the effects of slavery, so the freed slaves immediately tried to reunite with their families. News finally reached Texas about slaves being freed on June 19th, 1865, also called Juneteenth. Juneteenth is considered one of the oldest known celebrations that commemorated the end of slavery in the United States. The news of the Emancipation Proclamation did not reach Texas until about two years after its public awareness because there was little Union

6. In order to find all possible outcomes when rolled three identical dice, we can use multiplication principle. Since each dice can have 6 outcomes (1-6) and there are three dice, we have (6・6・6) = 63.

I remembered one of my aunts who visited our home for a week-vacation with her husband. Her husband was not accustomed to dogs that much, and our dog kept on barking and barking the entire night which made him unable to sleep. My aunt told us the following day that my uncle was so pissed off by the dog’s barking that he blurted out, “Can someone kill the dog?”

Drusilla’s centre-stage position on the sestertius coin reflects, as well, the special position she had in Caligula’s life. Of all sisters, Drusilla was apparently the source of Caligula’s infatuation. There are plenty of insinuations in the historians’ accounts of Caligula often indulging in incest with his sisters; yet, this seems to apply more to the case of Drusilla, whom Caligula had always had a soft spot for and with whom he started copulating from a very young age. In 37 CE and with a move that essentially defied every sense of tradition, Drusilla was named heir to the throne —something which quite expectedly caused an uproar in imperial politics. This decision might appear at first odd, but it has often been interpreted as an attempt

For this assignment I chose to write on Sir Arthur John Evans. Due to the fact that I was born one-hundred and forty-five years after this artistic and scholarly man. Sir Arthur John Evans was an English conformist most popular for revealing the royal residence of Knossos on the Greek island of Crete and also for building up the idea of Minoan human progress from the structures and curios found there and somewhere else all through the eastern Mediterranean. Evans was the first to characterize Cretan scripts.

Third century Britannia had four operational mints under Carausius’ command. These mints were: Londoninium, Camulodunum, Rotomagus, and RSR. Of the 1,097 total coins recorded, 390 coins, or 36%, have either non-attributable mint markings or do not possess any marks. A proper analysis cannot simply ignore one-third of the sample size due to lack of regional affiliation. Therefore, these non-attributable coins will be considered as their own category, a mint without region, since they still possess relevant information to which Roman gods Carausius minted on his coins and his intended messages.

These coins are the most elaborate and well-drawn of the three brothers, and like Tincommius all Verica coins show the horse on them. But his coinage showed more of a Greek style design, many coins using vines.

The aerial view of This is Cinerama include single point of view, ground view, and the bird’s eye view. Compared to the This is Cinerama, the Glimpses of the USA uses a constant bird's-eye view of images of different types of landscape, rural and urban. It brings up the viewpoint of looking up into space, and viewing the world from space. These are the major point of views taught in this class. In the world premiere brochure that was published in 1952, it states that Paul Mantz, who once was a stunt pilot, “flew the converted bomber which carried the Cinerama camera from New York to California via some of the most magnificent country to be found anywhere in the world...managed to spend less time in the hospital than his competitors” (Cinerama brochure 1952). This shows how much work went into the process of making This is Cinerama. Pilots had a short life expectancy in the first place, so flying over the entire country in order to get the perfect shot was a dangerous concept, but it was worth it to show the true beauty of America.

Many people think that everything and everyone relies on a clock,alarm or their phone to go throughout the day. “Dont watch the clock;do what it does”( Levenson,Sam).Something relating to my desideratum is due dates ,people worry about paying their bills on time to that their light or phone bill won't cut off . So they have to constantly work ,work and more work not even realizing that they haven't even enjoyed life for once . Relating to my own life I keep moving forward no matter how long I have to wait or how stressful it is because I know deep down that it will come my way. Either college or getting my license , I need to enjoy every minute of it ,and don't rush.

Webcomics was the evolved version of "comix," which was first appeared in the mid-1960s. Comix as a word and concept described as radical new subgenre of black-and-white, adult-oriented, "underground" comic books. Comix books appeared as coincide with an entire cultural atmosphere of rebellion and self-declaration that encouraged such renaming. The "x" over "ks," was tied in with the radicalism of Malcolm X and resurgence of Karl Marx which also had artistic and pragmatic sense, also public perception. When a casual reader encounters the word "comix" for the first time they are forced to spend a moment considering that the medium has evolved to the point where even the noun to describe it has changed (Arnold, 2001). The appearance of comix
