    Modern Abstract Art In The Late 20th And Early 21st Century

    November 30, 2022 - By 

    From the cubism of Picasso in the early part of the 20th century to the latest up-to-date showing at that avant-garde gallery in town, abstract art has been all about change. Purveyors of modern abstract art will take commissions, true, and hew to a set of instructions, yet the art that is for sale in galleries has a rich history of styles to choose from, fauvism and Dadaism and lyrical abstraction. The electronic methods of making art have not been neglected, as anyone who has ever attended a hologram display can attest. Abstract art gained a new lease on life…

    Confessions Of A Retired Psychologist: Stress, Gun Violence And Mental Illness

    November 29, 2022 - By 

    The Stress of Life, written by Hans Selye, was required reading in graduate school for me. This text book is what caused me to become interested in the field of stress, aside from the fact that my mother used my head as a pugilist’s speed bag when I was eight years old but, that’s for another time. In my doctoral program I continued my interest in stress and my doctoral thesis became titled, The Fear-of-Bodily-Injury And The Locus-of-Control: An Analogue Study, in which I stressed thirty undergraduate Reserved Officers Training Corps (ROTC) students so badly, I had to first have…

    A CHRONOLOGY OF AFRICAN HISTORY   It is the purpose of this article to provide the general reader with a comprehensive picture of world’s greatest civilization originating in Africa, a continent leading modern scholars today refer to it as the ‘the cradle of civilization’. This chronology seeks to address sophisticated and intelligent readers who had never previously read anything serious about Africa, from the earliest times to the most recent.   Most black people have lost their confidence, their true identity, because their history has been neglected, falsified and sometimes concealed.

    Astrology Compatibility – Why Sun Signs Cause Confusion

    November 27, 2022 - By 

    I’ve been a practicing astrologer for over 16 years, specializing in astrology compatibility. Being somewhat of a technophobe, I’ve largely avoided the internet for much of that time. All good things must come to an end however, so here I am, now an avid online reader and writer. When time permits I read and answer questions on various relationship astrology forums. Inevitably I read topics which go like this: I’m a Leo, am I compatible with an Aquarius? Answer 1 — yes! Answer 2 — no! I’m a Leo and I dated an Aquarius. We split up. Answer 3 —…

    The History of Chinese Fans

    November 23, 2022 - By 

    The earliest surviving example of a fan from China is from a tomb in Hubei and dates to the Warring States Period (475 to 221 BC). Most of the earliest fans that have been discovered have been from the old Kingdom of Chu where the fan seems to have been more firmly embedded into the culture than anywhere else.
