Persepolis - Iran The city of Persepolis was founded in 518 BC by Darius I. It was the capital city of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia. It is located at the junction of the Pulvār and Kor rivers in what is today southwestern Iran. Persepolis was invaded by the army of Alexander the Great in 330 BC. Soon after, the city’s wooden buildings were destroyed by a fire -- likely set by Alexander’s troops. Built and decorated in the stunning Mesopotamian style, the stone structures that remain today are remarkably well preserved.

Walls were built to help protect people from invaders from the north, including the Xiongnu, Mongols and Huns. Some sections are 2200 years old. It was the first emperor of unified China, Qin Shi Huang (ruled 220-208 BC,) who ordered that the sections be joined. The wall does not form a straight line. It bends and curves over 13,000 miles in total from Shanhai Pass in the east to Jiayu Pass in the west.

  • Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers Into the Library
    School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Department of Information Studies Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers into the Library Clare Snowball This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology March 2011 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________ Page i Abstract This thesis investigates the inclusion of graphic novels in library collections and whether the format encourages teenagers to use libraries and read in their free time. Graphic novels are bound paperback or hardcover works in comic-book form and cover the full range of fiction genres, manga (Japanese comics), and also nonfiction. Teenagers are believed to read less in their free time than their younger counterparts. The importance of recreational reading necessitates methods to encourage teenagers to enjoy reading and undertake the pastime. Graphic novels have been discussed as a popular format among teenagers. As with reading, library use among teenagers declines as they age from childhood. The combination of graphic novel collections in school and public libraries may be a solution to both these dilemmas. Teenagers’ views were explored through focus groups to determine their attitudes toward reading, libraries and their use of libraries; their opinions on reading for school, including reading for English classes and gathering information for school assignments; and their liking for different reading materials, including graphic novels.

  • Self-Knowledge in the Theology of Bernard Of
    MY BELOVED IS MINE AND I AM HIS: SELF-KNOWLEDGE IN THE THEOLOGY OF BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by James U. DeFrancis, Jr. Ann W. Astell, Director Graduate Program in Theology Notre Dame, Indiana July 2012 © Copyright 2012 James U. DeFrancis, Jr. MY BELOVED IS MINE AND I AM HIS: SELF-KNOWLEDGE IN THE THEOLOGY OF BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX Abstract by James U. DeFrancis, Jr. This dissertation examines the various forms and roles self-knowledge assumes in Bernard of Clairvaux’s overarching vision of the spiritual life. Previous scholarship on Bernard’s doctrine of self-knowledge has correctly emphasized the significance he attaches to humbling self-knowledge, or the soul’s honest self-recognition as a disfigured image of God, in the soul’s first conversion and the initial stages of its return to God. A certain scholarly preoccupation with this aspect of the abbot’s thought has, however, somewhat obscured the full breadth of Bernard’s teaching on self-knowledge and the diverse forms and roles it assumes across the various phases of the soul’s spiritual life, including those which both proceed and follow its first conversion. Prior to its first conversion, Bernard believes, the soul suffers not only from self- ignorance, but also from a self-deception, a false self-knowledge born of pride, by which it imagines itself superior to others and therefore not in need of conversion or healing. It is precisely because he recognizes the seductive power of this self-deception that Bernard so frequently insists upon the soul’s humbling recognition of its own sad disfigurement as James U.

Pandita Dhaja Lankara1 YanYe2 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the students’ satisfaction towards the school instruction, course, grading, test, guidance, rules, library, and assistance between Naung Taung monastic high school and Kyauk Ta Lone public high school in southern Shan state, Myanmar. The collected data were analyzed by using the descriptive statistics including Frequency, Percentage, Standard deviation Mean; and Inferential Independent Samples t-test (Two-tailed). The study found that the students’ satisfaction at both schools were high. Thus, the research also found that in general there was no significant difference of students’ satisfaction between Naung Taung monastic high school and Kyauk Ta Lone public high school in southern Shan state, Myanmar. However, significant difference of students’ satisfaction towards course, grading, test, rules, and assistance were also founded in two schools. Keywords: Students’ Satisfaction, Myanmar, Monastic High School Introduction Since the earliest days, Myanmar has highly regarded education as their property of life. Because of this opinion, Myanmar people, from the past to present, firmly hold the motto “no one can steal or take away the golden pot of wisdom from those who have educated.” Traditionally, Myanmar people have strongly relied on monastic education since the time of the Myanmar kings, and they also had significantly at that time (Han Tin, 2000).

  • Phaung Daw Oo International University: Pre- College Program
    Presentation Phaung Daw Oo International University: Pre- College Program Providing further education for students with leadership abilities 2 Phaung Daw Oo International University: Pre-College Program (PIU-PCP) - Overview The Pre-College Program (PCP) was established in 2012 by two venerable Buddhist monks to provide underprivileged Myanmar high school graduates access to civic education and university preparation. Leading on from Phaung Daw Oo Monastic School, which was established in 1993 to provide free basic education from kindergarten to high school, PCP extends to further educate students of advanced civic education as well as community contribution and leadership. The programme is also designed to help connect graduates to educational opportunities at foreign universities, given that the current capacity of local universities remains somewhat limited and highly regulated. The main aim of PCP is to develop students into engaged community leaders and responsible citizens who will be able to contribute to the democratic development of Myanmar and its community institutions.

Qualitative and quantitative data, case studies, historical analyses and more theoretical, analytical and philosophical material are welcomed. The journal aims to assist in the human formation and exploration of ideas of those who feel inspired by a charism, its nature and purpose. In this context, charism is seen as a gift to an individual, in our case Marcellin Champagnat, who in turn inspires a movement of people, often internationally, across generations. Such an educational charism encourages people to gather, to share faith, to explore meaning, to display generosity of spirit and to propose a way forward for education, particularly of the less advantaged.

  • Julien Bastide Critique Et Auteur De Livres Sur Les Mangas
    PARCOURS EN BIBLIOTHÈQUE Des adonaissants aux jeunes adultes REIMS 12-15 juin 2008 Session 5 L’engouement des jeunes pour les Mangas Julien Bastide Critique et auteur de livres sur les Mangas Mangas : une nouvelle littérature populaire En moins de quinze ans, la bande dessinée japonaise a conquis de nombreux lecteurs francophones, remettant en cause la suprématie historique de la bande dessinée franco-belge. Elle se caractérise par une production pléthorique, fondée sur le principe du feuilleton et ciblée en fonction de l’âge et du sexe du lecteur, suscitant des récits qui jouent sur les attentes du public, entre identification et fantasme. Les débuts du Cri qui tue Lorsqu’en 1978, Motoichi « Athos » Takemoto, jeune Japonais installé en Suisse, publie le premier numéro de la revue Le Cri qui tue, il ne se doute pas qu’il est le précurseur d’un mouvement destiné à bouleverser le marché de la bande dessinée européenne. Si l’on excepte la publication de quelques histoires de Hiroshi Hirata dans la revue d’arts martiaux Budo, à partir de 1969, c’est en effet dans ce périodique que furent présentées pour la première fois, de manière volontariste, au public francophone des bandes dessinées japonaises traduites en français – mais faute de succès, la publication du Cri qui tue est interrompue en 1981, après six numéros. Il faut attendre le début de la décennie suivante pour que la bande dessinée japonaise connaisse ses premiers best-sellers en Europe francophone, sous l’impulsion notamment de l’éditeur français Jacques Glénat, fort de l’énorme succès de la série Dragon Ball d’Akira Toriyama, publiée en français à partir de 1991 (éd.
