The 12 Thoueris goddesses
In Egyptian mythology, Nut was the goddess of the sky.
Her body made a protective layer over the Earth.
Nut was the sister and wife of Geb, and the mother of (with Ra) Osiris, Nephthys,Isis and Seth and grandmother of Horus.
Horus was also a grandchild of Ra.
Although Nut was pictured in many temples and tombs, as well as on ceilings.
She was not well observed in popular places.
Nut was the goddess of the sky but had many other purposes as well.
She had three other names: Nuit, Newet, and Nueth.
Nut was known as the mother of all gods, including Ra (her grandfather) because she swallowed him up every night and gave birth to him again in the morning.
She was also the mother of heavenly bodies, whose laughter was thunder and tears were rain.
She often carried the sun across the sky.
She played a part in funeral beliefs and was sometimes drawn on the tops of sarcophagi.
Nut was one of the nine major gods.
She was the personification of the sky and the heavens.
Egyptians called her "the mother of the sky".
Nut was one of the oldest deities among history.
As the sky goddess, Nut was shown arching over Geb (earth god), her fingertips near his head and her toes by his feet.
She was commonly pictured dark blue and wore no robes, although some Egyptians believed that Nut wore a rainbow-colored robe, with stars all over her body.
Big paintings of her were often found on ceilings of tomb chambers.
She can be seen with small vulture wings or a vase on her head.
She was often shown as a cow, when carrying the sun across the sky.
The cow was a very motherly figure.
Nut was a very beautiful and kind goddess.
She was loving, and caring.
She fell in love with Thoth, the god of knowledge, and Geb, the god of the Earth.
She was a motherly figure and a very strong and independent goddess, for she would not marry just any person.
She did what she wanted and when angered she never let anyone stand in her way.
Nut had a strong relationship with Geb, her twin brother, as well as Thoth the god of scribes and wisdom.
She was the goddess of the Sky and Geb was the god of the Earth.
In the morning they were separated but at night they came together, which created the darkness.
This is a story the ancient Egyptians used to explain their 365-day calendar.
Nut loved Geb and Thoth, but she was married to Ra.
When Ra found out about her secret loves, he was furious.
He told Nut that she could not have any children on any of the 360 days of the year.
This saddened her, so she went to Thoth for help.
She gambled with Khonsu (the moon god) to create 5 more days, so she and Geb could have five children.
The children were: Osiris was first, Horus was second, Set was third, Isis was fourth, and Nephthys was the fifth.
She and Ra also had one daughter named Sekhmet, the lion goddess, who had a flip personality called Hathor the goddess of love and peace.
Nut is gorgeous and worshipped, and she was a protective goddess, like Bast (the cat goddess).
The ancient Egyptians had three calendars, but the Agricultural one was the one that was used in everyday life.
It was made up of three seasons, each containing four months.
The seasons were Akhet, (the inundation) Peret (when the water retreated) and Shemu (harvest season).
Nut loved Geb, but Ra was not happy that she loved Geb so he told Shu, their father (the air god) to separate them.
Then, Ra put a curse on Nut so she could not have babies on any of the three-hundred sixty days of the year.
Thoth wanted to let Nut be able to have babies so he challenged Khonsu, the moon god, to a game of Senet.
If he won, he would be able to add five days to the year.
If he lost, he would be killed.
Thoth won and added five more days to the year.
On the first day, Nut had Osiris to replace Ra, but Set later deceived him and Osiris became god of the underworld.
On the second day she had Horus, the war god.
On the third day, she had Set, the god of storms, evil, and Chaos, on the forth day she had Isis the goddess of magic, and on the fifth day she had Nephthys the river goddess.
After a long time, the Egyptians realized the calendar was off because they did not have the quarter day at the end, like we do by having leap years.
The calendar said it was flood season, but the flood did not come until later.
The ancient Egyptians noticed the star Sirius would rise right before the flood.
They used this as the beginning of the year and as the beginning of flooding.

It was his goal to create inflation to help those in debt.
The end of the speech gives it its name when he says;
Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the laboring interests and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.

Paolo Uccello, (1397 – 10 December 1475), was a painter from Florence in Italy, during the time known as the Early Renaissance.
He is famous as one of the first painters of the Italian Renaissance to use perspective in his pictures.
Life and works
Most of what we know about Uccello comes from Giorgio Vasari, who wrote Paolo's biography about 75 years after Uccello died.
Uccello was born about the year 1396, in the city of Florence.
Vasari says that he was called Uccello, which means "Bird", because he loved all animals and would often paint them, but he loved birds best of all.
When he was about 11 years old, he was sent to be trained in the workshop of one of the most famous artists in Florence, a young man called Lorenzo Ghiberti.
Ghiberti was famous because he had won an important competition to make a huge set of beautiful doors for the oldest church in the city.
The doors took 27 years to make, so in that time, lots of different artists helped in the making of them, and lots of talented young people like Uccello were trained in the workshop.
Uccello worked there for 8 years.
At San Miniato
While Uccello was still quite young he got an important job to do, all by himself.
He was asked to paint some frescoes showing stories of different saints for the monks of a Church of San Miniato, on a mountain above Florence.
It was a large beautiful church, but the monks at the monastery did not eat expensive food.
They only ate bread and cheese.
So, Uccello also ate nothing but bread and cheese for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, sometimes made into soup.
After a few weeks he thought he was turning into a cheese!
So he ran away from the monastery and went back to Florence, leaving his work unfinished.
One day when two of the monks were walking in the street, they chased Uccello and caught him.
They asked him why he had never finished the job.
Uccello told them that it was because of the cheese.
The monks laughed and promised that he would get better food, if only he would promise to come back and finish what he had started.
He came back to finish the frescoes, called The Lives of the Church Fathers.
They are painted in dull colours as a protest against the simple food.
Vasari, who tells this story, says that Uccello never ate cheese again in his life.
Today, these frescoes at San Miniato have been badly damaged by water.
Most of them have fallen off the wall or have faded.
However, one beautiful angel remains quite clear.
At Florence Cathedral
In 1436 he was back in Florence to do some important jobs for Florence Cathedral.
The first was to paint a large fresco in honour of an English Knight, Sir John Hawkwood.
The painting of Sir John is quite unusual.
It is of Sir John on his war horse.
Uccello has painted it to look like a statue of the soldier on his horse.
He has used white and greenish-grey against a dark red-brown background.
To add colour, Uccello has painted the horse's saddle and bridle bright red.
The horse is standing on a painted plinth like the base of a statue and Sir John's name is written on the plinth, as if the statue was standing in the town square.
And in large letters are words which translate as "The Work of Paolo Uccello".
The second job that Uccello had at the Cathedral was to paint the clock.
The clock has two faces, one that can be seen outside in the square and another which is on an inside wall of the cathedral.
Uccello had to paint a clock face around the hand on the inside wall. (
It's a 24-hour clock and it's only got one hand.)
Uccello painted the round clockface into a square shape and put the head of a prophet in each corner.
The prophets' faces are all very different but the thing that is the most clever about them is that Uccello painted bright light and dark shadows on their faces as if the light was coming from a real window which is high on the wall to the left side of the clock.
The other important job for the cathedral was to design two big round stained glass windows, each one 4.5 metres across.
The cathedral had been built in the last century, but it had been left with a huge hole at the centre which needed a roof of some sort.
An artist called Brunelleschi had come up with a brilliant plan for a dome, and the whole city was excited about getting it built.
Workmen from every part of the town formed 8 gangs to build the 8 parts.
As the dome grew, it had 8 large windows that needed glass.
The best artists in Florence were asked to design them.
Three of Uccello's designs were used but unfortunately one was smashed in 1828.
The two that remain are The Nativity (The Birth of Jesus) and The Resurrection (Jesus rising from the dead).
By 1453, Uccello was married to Tomassa Malifici.
In that year she gave birth to Donato who was named after the sculptor Donatello.
In 1456 the couple had a daughter, Antonia, who later became a nun and a painter.
The paintings that are regarded as Uccello's masterpieces are frescoes of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood in the Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
Unfortunately, they are quite badly damaged and partly lost, but even so, it is possible to see what a clever artist Uccello was.
There are two things remarkable about the pictures.
Firstly, they are very realistic.
The second is that they use perspective to give the impression that the viewer is looking into the scene.
As in the fresco of Sir John Hawkwood, Uccello does not use many colours.
The pictures are painted in white, pale grey, blue grey and just a little black.
The landscape is grey, the water is blue-grey, the people are white with grey shadows.
But the paintings are made lively by all the bits of red.
All the man-made things, like the Ark, the old doors, barrels, up-side-down tables and broken things that are floating on the flood water, are all painted in the same red colour.
Some of the people are wearing big black and white hats that were popular in Florence.
In the disaster of the flood, one man is floating in a barrel.
Another man, seeing an old man standing on a little hill, has grabbed him round the ankles to pull himself up.
Another man, with part of his great big fashionable hat slipped down around his neck, is thumping on the wall of the ark with a club.
The wind is blowing, the rain is pouring down and twigs and branches are flying in the wind.
It is a scene of terror.
The Battle of San Romano
One of the richest men in Florence was Cosimo Medici who liked to spend money on works of art.
He asked Uccello to paint three large paintings on panels, each about 3 metres long, to decorate his palace.
The subject was to be Three scenes from the Battle of San Romano in which the Florentine troops defeated the neighbouring town of Siena.
In fact, it was not a very fierce battle.
Modern soccer matches between Florence and Siena are probably more bloody.
But it made three very good pictures which were later divided up between three important art galleries.
The National Gallery, London has the left-hand scene of Niccolo Tolentino leading his troops on his magnificent rearing white charger and wearing, of course, a great big Florentine hat of red and gold brocade.
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence has the middle scene in which the leader of the enemy forces, Bernadino della Ciarda, has been struck by a lance and is falling off his horse backwards.
The right-hand scene, which is in the Louvre in Paris, shows the brave Michelotto di Cotignola swinging his horse around to attack an opponent with his sword.
Even though, at first glance each battle scene looks quite chaotic, the paintings are very carefully organised.
This is particularly noticeable in the way Uccello has arranged the lances that are held upright by the troops and the many weapons that are lying on the ground.
They all serve the purpose of leading the viewers eye into the painting.
They create perspective.
And while the battle is raging in the foreground, in the background are mountains, fields, hedges and woods.
In them are farmers, hunters and animals.
The difference in size between the figures in the foreground and the figures in the background create distance in the picture.
Uccello studied perspective all his life in a way that was quite obsessive.
Sometimes he would not come out of his house for weeks.
His friend Donatello, another respected artist, begged him to do more painting and less study.
Uccello became very good at mathematical calculation of the perspective of buildings, but it was not until his old age that he could fully understand how to calculate the sizes of things like people in the distance.
His last painting shows a hunting party, with a great forest of trees, people and dogs, all going away into the distance, from near to far.
In 1469 Paolo wrote on his tax assessment that he was too old to work any more and that his wife was ill.
Giorgio Vasari, who, 100 years later, researched and wrote the lives of many painters, wrote that, unfortunately Paolo was badly offended by Donatello, who looked at his latest painting and told him, for a joke, to cover it up.
Vasari said that Paolo was so hurt that refused to come out of his room but sat working at his drawings, and whenever his wife called him to come to bed he would answer "What a wonderful thing perspective is!"
He died on 10 November, 1475, leaving behind him his old wife and a daughter Antonia who was also very good at painting.
Unfortunately, none of her pictures are known today.

"Sumer Is Icumen In" is a very old English song which can be sung as a round.
It is the oldest example of a round that we know of.
It was written down around the middle of the 13th century by a monk but we do not know whether that monk composed it, or whether it had been composed earlier.
The title means "Summer has come in".
The round can be sung in six parts.
There are also two parts which can be repeated again and again (an ostinato) throughout the piece.
The language is Middle English and is based on the dialect spoken in Wessex, England at the time.
To sing as a round, one singer (or group of singers) would begin at the beginning, a second singer would start at the beginning as the first got to the point marked with the red cross, then the third would join in when the second singer got to the red cross, and so on until all six were singing.
The repeated pattern is marked "Pes".
The instructions are written in Latin.

Running away together, they are happy for a while until Carmen decides she loves a bullfighter called Escamillo.
She leaves Don José.
One day when Carmen is watching a bullfight, Don José waits for her and then tries to make her come back.
She refuses, so he stabs her to death.
Horrified at what he has done, he goes to jail.

The kumquats or cumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees.
The edible fruit (which is also called kumquat) is similar to other Citrus but is smaller.
Kumquats are slow-growing, evergreen shrubs or small trees, from 2.5–4.5 m tall, with dense branches.
Sometimes they have small thorns.
The leaves are dark glossy green, and the flowers pure white, similar to citrus flowers.
Kumquats came from China (they are known in literature of the 12th century), and have long been cultivated there and in Japan.
They were introduced to Europe in 1846 by Robert Fortune, who was collector for the London Horticultural Society, and a short time later into North America.
They are much hardier than citrus plants as oranges.
The 'Nagami' kumquat needs a hot summer, ranging from 25 °C(77°F) to 38°C(100.4°F), but can withstand frost down to about -10 °C(14°F).
It grows in the tea regions of China where the climate is too cold for other citrus fruits, even the Mikan (also known as the Satsuma) orange.
The English name "kumquat" derives from the Cantonese pronunciation gam1 gwat1 (given in Jyutping romanization).
The alternate name 柑橘, also pronounced gam gwat in Cantonese (gān jú in Mandarin, literally "large tangerine orange") is now more commonly written by Cantonese speakers.
Japanese: kinkan (金柑)
Korean: geumgyul (금귤)
Mandarin: jīnjú (金橘)
Thai: somchíd (ส้มจี๊ด)
Vietnamese: cam quất (from the Cantonese) or, less commonly, (quả) kim quất (if transliterated from the characters 金橘 into Sino-Vietnamese; "quả" (果) is the Sino-Vietnamese prefix for "fruit")

In music, an ostinato is a short pattern of notes which is repeated several times throughout a song or piece of music.
The word "ostinato" is related to the word obstinate.
It is like a musical idea which is being obstinate and will not go away.
The plural can be either "ostinati" or "ostinatos".
An ostinato can be a repeated group of notes or just a rhythm.
It is similar to a riff in jazz.
Many kinds of music use ostinati, e.g. classical music, jazz, boogie-woogie and African music.
A ground bass, or basso ostinato, is an ostinato pattern in the lowest notes, which keeps playing while the melodies in the higher notes change.
This was often used in baroque musical works.
An example is the famous Canon in D by Pachelbel.
An example of a rhythmic ostinato is the first movement from the Planets Suite by Gustav Holst.
This is the movement in 5/4 time which describes Mars.
Boléro by Maurice Ravel also uses a repeated rhythm all the way through the piece.
An example from popular music is Pink Floyd's  Money.
A coffee system or hot beverage system is a special coffeemaker.
Instead of using coffee beans or ground coffee, it uses special capsules.
Each capsule has one serving of coffee, tea, milk, and other ingredients in it.
This makes it easy to make coffee, espresso, etc.
The process is very clean.
The capsules with the coffee cost more money compared to normal coffee.
There is also the problem that there is more waste because of the capsule.

The Iraq War was an  armed conflict that began in 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition that toppled the government of Saddam Hussein.
The conflict continued for much of the next ten years as an insurgency emerged to oppose the occupying forces and the post-invasion Iraqi government.
An estimated 151,000 to 600,000 or more Iraqis were killed in the first 3–4 years of conflict.
The United States officially withdrew from the country in 2011 but left private security contractors in its place to continue the war.
In 2014 the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant conquered much of northern Iraq.
An American-led new coalition sent troops to help the government of Iraq.
After the Gulf War of 1990-1991 during which a US-led coalition of 35 nations retook Kuwait after the Iraqi invasion, Iraq was severely damaged both economically and socially.
Numerous penalties were imposed on the crumbling state of Iraq, including a no-fly zone (essentially barring any civilian and military planes from flying over Iraq), along with UN weapon inspections to ensure that Saddam was not stockpiling WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction).
In 1998, the Iraqi government stopped allowing these inspections to continue after allegations that the inspectors were spying for the US.
