Pierre de Coubertin

Pierre Bonnard was born on October 3rd, 1867 at Fontenay-aux-Roses, a village outside Paris. He was the son of prominent official of the French Ministry of War. Due to his insitnace Bonnard studied law at Sorbonne from 1885 to 1888. During the year of 1887 Bonnard enrolled in evening classes at Académie Julian, which was an art school in Paris. While at the art school he and four of his friends joined together and formed group which was known as Les Nabis. They used this group to integrate art into

renaissance. To name a few, Joachim du Bellay, Pierre de Ronsard, and Louise Labe. French culture was revolutionized and influenced by these three poets. Additionally, these poets had some similarities in their poetry even though they had their own diverse form of writing. The most meaningful “I do not write of love”, by Joachim du Bellay’s poem has a powerful humility in it. It suppresses other poets’ work. Fair and in-depth comparison can be used by Pierre de Ronsard’s “Of his Lady’s Old Age” and Louise

Pierre de Fermat Pierre de Fermat was born in 1601 “near Montauban”. He was born to a French leather merchant and was home-schooled. All of his free time was spent studying mathematics. He spent a good amount of time in his life arguing with Descartes which ended well and turned out to be “a friendly conclusion”. He found math very fun, delving into its deepest points and “amused himself by conjecturally restoring the work of Apollonius on plane loci.” Fermat didn’t publish anything in his

kiss is one “in which souls are exchanged without the taint of physical lust, and possibly with that protection they become part of the expected commerce between lover and lady in almost all Renaissance venues” (108). But as Braden shows through Pierre de Ronsard, the kiss wished from the beloved could turn from a chaste kiss—which Ronsard’s poet dismisses as “icy”—into one that has “savour in the mouth, or never kiss” at all (qtd. in Braden 108-109). This transformation from chaste/unconsummated

The Birthday Paradox is the chance of 23 people in the same room to have the same birthday. It’s a 50 percent chance that there is. Surprisingly, the answer is only 23 people to have at least a 50 percent chance of a match. This goes up to 70 percent for 30 people, 90 percent for 41 people, 95 percent for 47 people. With 57 people there is better than a 99 percent chance of a birthday match. In my project i’m doing 50 people to have a better outcome. The concepts of this project is mathematical probability

been something that enlightens him” (para. 19). It may be intriguing that Julian thinks the mother is to blame yet he promises “Someday I’ll start making money’...he knew he never would” (Gilbert para. 16). Much like the evolutionary vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the symbol of the mother’s passing is Julian’s time to ascend, “which give the story its title” (Montogomery para.

elephant and hippopotami teeth and bone fragments, had been whitened similar in fashion to the ‘cricket bat’ found at the Piltdown II site; the cricket bat having been made form an elephant femur. Hinton had experimented with bone and tooth staining (De Groote et al., 2016) predominantly staining them with iron to match the gravels of a Pleistocene era (Gardiner, 2003)… Also among Hinton’s effects, were eight human teeth that had been stained with iron, chromium, and manganese (Gardiner & Currant,

Slaves of Society: The Women of Les Liaisons dangereuses With each letter in Les Liaisons dangereuses, Choderlos de Laclos advances a great many games of chess being played simultaneously. In each, the pieces—women of the eighteenth-century Parisian aristocracy—are tossed about mercilessly but with great precision on the part of the author. One is a pawn: a convent girl pulled out of a world of simplicity and offered as an entree to a public impossible to sate; another is a queen: a calculating

John Hughes Mr. Lace Senior Theology Honors 18 November 2011 Mr. Lace Trimester Final Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, A. North Whitehead, Monsignor Luigi Guissani, and Charles Hartshorne have contributed significant bits of Theology as the Roman Catholic Church, perhaps a century late, has finally come to a difficult crossroads about the creation of the world: Should the Vatican alter (no pun intended) modify Church Dogmas, which are infallible snippets of doctrinal teaching, or ignore rapid

Pierre Ambroise Francois Choderlos Laclos wrote what was one of the most scandalous writings of his time. He was born October 18th 1741 and died September 5th, 1803 at the age of 61. He was considered a beginners writer and to have a morbid look on human relations which is what he choose to write about in Dangerous Liaisons. Although he was a military official with little literary training his book Les Liaisons Dangereuses came to be literally acclaimed in the 18th century. Laclos was born into
