wikipedia_2018-2045 | In recent years several art historians have emphasized the ironic elements of The Garden . Erwin Pokorny concluded after many years of research on the complete work of Bosch , including the drawings , that in The Garden Bosch presented " a moralizing ironical wisdom that is sometimes reminiscent of Sebastian Brant ( 1457 – 1521 ) or Erasmus of Rotterdam ( 1465 – 1536 ) " . He pointed out that literature and art of Bosch 's time reflected not only the belief in hell after life , but also the belief in paradise after life . But then he listed many examples from the center panel showing that Bosch presented a new perspective by ridiculing this longing for paradise . Examples are fantastic acrobatics , equivalence of fruits and body parts , the parade of 100 males riding around the pool of females , and women signaling boredom by holding their heads in their hands . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2051 | The 1947 nuclear stockpile consisted of nuclear weapons components , not weapons . Meeting with Truman in April 1947 , Lilienthal informed him that not only were there no assembled weapons , but there were only a few sets of components , and no fully trained bomb assembly teams . By August 1946 , Sandia Base held electrical and mechanical assemblies for about 50 Fat Man bombs , but there were only nine fissile cores in storage . The stockpile of cores grew to 13 in 1947 , and 53 in 1948 . Oppenheimer noted that the bombs were " still largely the haywire contraptions that were slapped together in 1945 . " With a half @-@ life of only 140 days , the polonium @-@ beryllium modulated neutron initiators had to be periodically removed from the plutonium pits , tested , and , if necessary , replaced . The cores had to be stored separately from the high explosive blocks that would surround them in the bomb because they generated enough heat to melt the plastic explosive over time . The heat could also affect the cores themselves , provoking a phase transition to a different allotrope of plutonium . They had to be periodically inspected by technicians wearing gloves and respirators . The bomb 's electrical power for its radar fuzes and detonators came from a pair of lead @-@ acid batteries similar to those used in cars . These had to be charged 24 hours before use . After a few days , the bomb had to be partially disassembled so that they could be re @-@ charged ; and three days after that the batteries had to be replaced . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2074 | W. D. Hamilton 's work on kin selection contributed to the emergence of the discipline of sociobiology . The existence of altruistic behaviors has been a difficult problem for evolutionary theorists from the beginning . Significant progress was made in 1964 when Hamilton formulated the inequality in kin selection known as Hamilton 's rule , which showed how eusociality in insects ( the existence of sterile worker classes ) and many other examples of altruistic behavior could have evolved through kin selection . Other theories followed , some derived from game theory , such as reciprocal altruism . In 1975 , E. O. Wilson published the influential and highly controversial book Sociobiology : The New Synthesis which claimed evolutionary theory could help explain many aspects of animal , including human , behavior . Critics of sociobiology , including Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin , claimed that sociobiology greatly overstated the degree to which complex human behaviors could be determined by genetic factors .

wikipedia_2018-2075 | Scandinavian and Germanic gold bracteates found in burials of the 5th and 6th centuries , particularly those in Britain , have also been interpreted in light of Charon ’ s obol . These gold disks , similar to coins though generally single @-@ sided , were influenced by late Roman imperial coins and medallions but feature iconography from Norse myth and runic inscriptions . The stamping process created an extended rim that forms a frame with a loop for threading ; the bracteates often appear in burials as a woman ’ s necklace . A function comparable to that of Charon ’ s obol is suggested by examples such as a man ’ s burial at Monkton in Kent and a group of several male graves on Gotland , Sweden , for which the bracteate was deposited in a pouch beside the body . In the Gotland burials , the bracteates lack rim and loop , and show no traces of wear , suggesting that they had not been intended for everyday use . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2076 | Contributors to Poedjangga Baroe were influenced by the Tachtigers , a Dutch literary movement from the 1880s . Sutherland suggests that the romantic theme prevalent in their works was adapted by the authors to escape the changing realities of Indonesian society . As opposed to earlier works published by Balai Pustaka such as Marah Rusli 's Sitti Nurbaya ( 1922 ) , which emphasized regional cultural values , prose published in Poedjangga Baroe focused on national identity , and writers included areas that they had never visited . Old themes , such as forced marriage , were abandoned . According to Sutherland , most contributors to Poedjangga Baroe kept a sense of ambivalence towards the Dutch colonial government as well as traditional culture as a central theme in their works . Although they rejected Dutch control of the archipelago , these nationalist writers embraced Western culture ; Sutherland writes that some of the most staunchly nationalist writers were also the most westernized . | wikipedia-2018 |

While it was John Milne and Wang Zhenduo who argued early on that Zhang 's " central pillar " was a suspended pendulum , Imamura was the first to propose an inverted model .

The militia were quickly routed , with between twenty and thirty killed , and fifteen of them taken as prisoners . Gens . John Cadwalader and Joseph Reed , out reconnoitering on horse near Twickenham , the country estate of Thomas Wharton Jr . , attempted to rally the Potter 's fleeing Pennsylvania militia . Lieut . Col. Sherman , the officer in charge of the 2nd Connecticut Continentals , resented Reed 's assumption of command , and later complained to Washington that it put " ... Officers and Men into such confusion that it rendered it impossible to keep that regularity so necessary when going into Action . " The British soon had them surrounded and outnumbered , and the Pennsylvania militia again panicked and fled . The 2nd Connecticut Continentals made a stand , firing between two and five rounds per man ; Sherman only gave the order to retreat when the Jägers were within 15 – 20 yards of his position . At some point , Cadwalader and Reed became separated from the militia , and Reed 's horse was shot out from under him . A body of Hessians charged at the two officers with bayonets , but Capt. McLane rode up with a few dragoons and ordered a charge that scattered the Hessians . McLane then took the two officers to safety . | wikipedia-2018 |
