Hercules Room
State Room
The large room is on the ground floor (first floor) of the Palace. It measures 18m x 14m x 45m. A chapel once stood on the site. The Hercules Room connects the royal chapel and the North Wing of the palace with the Grand Apartment of the King. Architect Robert de Cotte started work on the room in 1710. The project was set aside in 1715 when Louis XIV died. Work resumed in 1724. Louis XV hired architect Jacques Gabriel, marble worker Claude-Félix Tarlé, and sculptors Jacques Verberckt and François-Antoine Vassé to complete the room. The room is in the style of the Hall of Mirrors.
The Ballet of the Nuns
Background
Hans Christian Andersen included the scene in one of his novels. Andersen writes of the scene, "By the hundred they rise from the graveyard and drift into the cloister. They seem not to touch the earth. Like vaporous images, they glide past one another ... Suddenly their shrouds fall to the ground. They stand in all their voluptuous nakedness, and there begins a bacchanal." The nuns were not completely naked, but Andersen did capture the essence of the scene.
Reception
Nuns was the first ballet blanc and the first romantic ballet. The opera was performed 756 times between 1831 and 1893 at the Paris Opéra. French Impressionist Edgar Degas painted the ballet scene several times between 1871 and 1876.

John Kiss
John Kiss (born Jonathan Kis-Lev, 12 September 1985) is an Israeli street artist and Peace Activist. His graffiti work, political installations, community-based projects and public artworks have granted him the title the "Israeli Banksy." Kiss' work has been featured in various books and magazines, including magazine-covers.
Reconciliation groups
In his workshop, Seeking Peace: The Israeli-Palestinian Situation Kiss developed his approach to addressing the conflict: to expose children from both sides to each other by offering them human encounters with the other side of the conflict, and to give both Arabs and Jews equal rights and security. Although he was labeled by the media as an "optimist", Kiss often admitted that peace activists in the Middle East were "in the minority." According to Kiss, Islam in and of itself does not encourage violence, and "Islamist fanatics are a tiny minority." In interviews, he shared that he and his Arab friends often disagree around political issues, yet the mere culture of conversing peacefully was, in his view, to be celebrated.
Artists For Peace
Throughout his peace efforts, Kiss remembered his first encounter with Arab youth at age 11, in which he learned of the power of art in creating bridges. As an adult, Kiss joined the Bereaved Families for Peace, and participated in the establishment of the first joint Palestinian-Israeli artists group within the organization's Narratives Project. The artists group brought together an equal number of artists from both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The group focused on both narratives, the Israeli and the Palestinian. As part of understanding the Palestinian narrative, the group studied the Nakba and visited the Palestinian village Lifta, which was evacuated during the 1947-1949 Palestine war. As part of understanding the Israeli narrative, the group learned extensively about the Holocaust. "Learning about the Holocaust," Kiss said later, "helped the Palestinian members of our binational group to better understand the Jewish perspective and was a turning point in improving our relationship." The initiative won extensive media coverage for being a unique collaboration of artists from both sides of the conflict.
Art in Dark Places
Kiss partnered with curators Doron Polak and Iris Elhanani to create a series of permanent parking lot exhibits, to be well-lit and to bring a sense of calm to these "forgotten" areas.  These installations were aimed at making the experience of the car owners and passers-by "safer and friendlier."  The goal of the project was "to bring inspiration even at surprising and unexpected venues." Unlike a museum, which requires an entry ticket, this exhibition was open to the public for free. The idea was "to make art accessible to the wide public" as well as "add art and culture" to an otherwise mundane experience, an ongoing project that Kiss was involved in for several years. The exhibitions were staged in parking lots throughout Israel and included the "best" of Israeli artists, including Dudu Gerstein, Raphael Perez, Naftali Bezem, Nachum Gutman, Menashe Kadishman, Lea Nikel, Eran Shakine and others. Kiss himself presented some of his Naïve Series works in these exhibitions, a large scale triptych of Tel Aviv was presented in Herzliya, as well as other paintings of large scale.

Tollund Man
On the first autopsy report in 1950, doctors concluded that Tollund Man died by hanging rather than strangulation. The rope left visible marks in the skin beneath his chin and at the sides of his neck. There was no mark, however, at the back of the neck where the knot of the noose would have been located. After a re-examination in 2002, forensic scientists found more evidence to support these findings. Although the cervical vertebrae were undamaged (as they often are in hanging victims), radiography showed that the tongue was distended—an indication of death by hanging.

Explanation
The asking of questions depends on language, and is peculiar to humans. It starts very soon after a child learns how to speak. A kind of game which young children play with adults is the 'why game'. Every parent gets the experience of their child asking a never-ending stream of why questions, until at last the adult says "Well, it just is!"

Saint Clare of Assisi was of noble birth, her father, Favorone Offreduccio, was the Count of Sasso-Rosso and her mother, Ortolana di Fiumi, was from aristocratic descent. She was born as Chiara Offreduccio di Favaronne in Assisi. She was promised in marriage at age of 12, but it was canceled due to her father's death. She was the oldest child in her family. When she was 18 years old, she heard Francis of Assisi preaching. She was extremely moved by his sermon, so she ran away to join him. Francis didn't have a place for women to stay, so he sent her to the Benedictine convent in San Paulo. Clare's relatives found out where she was staying, but when they arrived to take her back home, she clung to the altar saying she would only wed Christ. When she was staying in another monastery in Panzo, she was reunited with her younger sister, Agnes. Later, when she was 21, she was moved to another convent next to the San Damiano church, where she was appointed the superior for 40 years. In that church, she was reunited with her mother and her other sister named Beatrice.

Pseudanthium
A pseudanthium (Greek for "false flower") or flower head is a special type of inflorescence. Many flowers are grouped together to form a flower-like structure. The real flowers ("florets") are generally small and greatly reduced, but can sometimes be quite large (as in the sunflower flower head).
At a glance, a pseudanthium (inflorescence) looks just like a normal flower, but closer inspection shows it is composed of multiple flowers. Thus, the pseudanthium represents an evolution of the inflorescence to a reproductive unit that may function in pollination like a single flower, at least in plants that are animal pollinated. The advantage of this "flower" is that it produces far more seeds than a normal flower, but needs only one act of pollination.

Lady Holding a Balance
Lady Holding a Balance (sometimes Lady Testing a Balance) is an oil painting by Johannes Vermeer. It was painted around 1664. It measures 39.7 x 35.5 cm (15 5/8 x 14 in.) It hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. The Gallery writes, "Woman Holding a Balance is an allegorical scene that urges us to conduct our lives with temperance and moderation. The painting within the painting offers an important clue in that Christ's Last Judgment is echoed by the woman's own actions. Before her are earthly treasures; behind her is the symbol of the eternal consequences of her actions here on earth. In waiting for the balance to rest at equilibrium she acknowledges the importance of judgment in weighing her own actions in anticipation of the life to come."

Amalasuntha had been married to Eutharic, an unknown Gothic nobleman. She gave birth to a son named Athalaric in 518. Her husband later died, leaving Amalasuntha a widow to raise their young son. After her son Athalaric died, she fought for the kingdom, which was very difficult, but it increased her support of the Romans. Amalasuntha was an extremely well educated woman. She studied Greek and Latin and she became a lifelong contributor of writings and arts. Theodoric (her father) supplied her with a Roman education because he had an interest in creating peaceful Roman-Gothic relations. Her husband Eutharic was assigned Theodoric's heir, which excluded Theodoric's nephew from inheritance and power.

The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition
Problems
Although the game mentions "sound irregularities" on the disc as a result of emulating Majora's Mask on the GameCube, no mention is made of the game freezing. This is a common issue encountered less often when not using the rumble function. The framerate of the Collector's Edition version of Majora's Mask is also lower than the 20 FPS framerate of the original game. The problems could be caused due to the game's reliance on the Expansion Pack. Majora's Mask also presents a high number of graphical issues, such as the blur effect commonly used during cutscenes either not disappear or not loading entirely. As Ocarina of Time does not use the Expansion Pack used by Majora's Mask, less problems occur. It, however, does experience some minor emulation issues, such as lens flares and other special effects not appearing. Both games also experience another issue. Under normal circumstances, opening the inventory menu will capture the screen and add it to memory before opening the menu so it can appear on top of the game screen. Emulators have difficulty adding this image to the memory, thus, the game will appear to freeze for a couple of seconds before the menu opens up. While this image is being removed from memory as the menu is closed, the game also freezes for a short time.

Refugee Boy
Plot
Alem was sent to live in a care home for boys. He slept in a room with Stanley Burton. He also made a friend named Mustafa. Later, the caretakers decide to put Alem in a foster home with Mr and Mrs Fitzgerald and their daughter Ruth. At one point during his stay with the Fitzgeralds, he receives a letter from his father stating that Alem's mother was murdered.
Meanwhile, Alem had to appear in court several times to defend his application for refugee status. His father returned to England, because it had become very unsustainable in Ethiopia. He lived in a refugee center. Alem is sent to school, and is a studious boy who reads a lot. His school friends prepare a protest against the verdict of the court (which is to deport him back to Ethiopia). This made a big difference and Alem was even in the news. Immediately afterwards, though, his father is shot by an unknown person. This makes the court decide, finally, that Alem should stay in his foster home (the Fitzgerald family).
