The volume of water in the tank is 3,840 cubic inches (in )​ . ​ ​ 24 × 16 × 10 = 3, 840 2. The water in the tank will be 20 inches (in) deep if that tank is turned so that it stands on one end. ​ ​ ● The volume of the water in the tank has not changed so divide the volume by the product of the two dimensions you have (length and width) to find the missing height. 3, 840 ÷ (12 × 16) = 20 5 5 ● Since the tank is 6 full, 6 of 24 inches is 20 inches.

Public documents often contain text features that tell you important information. Use the following steps to read and interpret public documents. Step 1: Find the title and headers of the public document. The title will tell you what the notice is about. Headers will tell you what a section of the text is about. Step 2: Decide whether the information in the public document affects you. Often a notice will tell about an activity you can take part in. Step 3: Find out who created the public document. Often there will be a logo, credit, or seal that shows who posted the notice in your community. Step 4: Take note of important details or instructions. What important details will affect readers, such as users of the policy or participants in the event? Are there actions the notice asks you to take? Some information may be accompanied by features such as boldfaced type, bulleted lists, or graphics that emphasize its importance. Step 5: Check for ways to find out more information. Most public documents, including signs, Web sites, and printed text, answer the obvious questions, but you may want more details. Look for a contact person, an e-mail address, or a phone number to find out more.

  • Red Sea Entanglement Initial Latin European Intellectual Development Regarding Nubia and Ethiopia During the Twelfth Century
    DOI: 10.46586/er.11.2020.8826 Entangled Religions 11.5 (2020) License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 er.ceres.rub.de Red Sea Entanglement Initial Latin European Intellectual Development Regarding Nubia and Ethiopia during the Twelfth Century ADAM SIMMONS Nottingham Trent University, Great Britain ABSTRACT What happens to the ability to retrace networks when individual agents can- not be named and current archaeology is limited? In these circumstances, such networks cannot be traced, but, as this case study will show, they can be reconstructed and their effects can still be witnessed. This article will highlight how Latin European intellectual development regarding the Christian African kingdoms of Nubia and Ethiopia is due to multiple and far-reaching networks between Latin Europeans, Africans, and other Eastern groups, especially in the wider Red Sea region, despite scant direct evidence for the exis- tence of such extensive intellectual networks. Instead, the absence of direct evidence for Latin European engagement with the Red Sea needs to be situated within the wider devel- opment of Latin European understandings of Nubia and Ethiopia throughout the twelfth century as a result of interaction with varied peoples, not least with Africans themselves. The developing Latin European understanding of Nubia was a result of multiple and varied exchanges. KEYWORDS Crusades, Nubia, Ethiopia, Red Sea, twelfth century, intellectual history Introduction The establishment of the Crusader States at the turn of the twelfth century acted as a catalyst [1] for the development of Latin European knowledge of the wider Levant (e.g., Hamilton 2004). This knowledge was principally gained through direct and indirect interactions with various religious and ethnic groups, each of which acted as individual catalysts for a greater shared development of knowledge.

  • Crusaders Under Siege: the Battle of Antioch in Documents And
    Crusaders Under Siege: The Battle of Antioch in Documents and Historical Narrative Jacob M. Rambin History Faculty advisor: Chris Craun By the 2nd of June, 1098, Crusading armies of the West during the First Crusade had been laying continuous siege to the Turkish-held city of Antioch for nearly 8 months. On the 2nd, they took the city of Antioch only to find they were themselves under siege in the very city they had fought so hard to take. This siege of the city by the atabeg of Mosul, Kerbogha, was to last from the 7th of June to the 28th and would try the very heart of the Crusading army as they attempted to break the siege. There was no time to replenish their supplies or even to clear the streets of the rotting dead left over from the previous battle. Because of this, the Crusaders suffered from starvation and disease throughout this grueling period. The Crusading army was trapped and unable to flee, leaving them with quite literally only two options, victory or annihilation. In their desperation, rather than collapse into disorder and chaos, their suffering found its way to the safety valve of mysticism and credulity. A monk, Peter Bartholomew, came forward reporting visions of the Holy Lance which he claimed could be found buried under the floor of the cathedral of St. Peter. The chronicles agree that a relic was indeed found and presented as the Lance, but many of the chroniclers and participants considered it a fraud placed there for CLA Journal 1 (2013) pp.

  • Ibn Al-Athīr
    Ibn al-Athīr Françoise Micheau Al-Kāmil fi’l-ta⁠ʾrīkh, (‘The Complete History’), which Ibn al-Athīr completed in Mosul in the late 620s/early 1230s, is almost unanimously considered to be ‘one of the most impressive achievements of pre-modern historiography in any culture’1 and ‘the high point of Muslim annalistic historiography’,2 and its author to be ‘l’un des plus grands historiens du Moyen Âge islamique’.3 For the history of the crusading period this universal chronicle provides a clear, bal- anced and detailed account which makes it one of the principal Arabic sources for the sixth/twelfth and early-seventh/thirteenth centuries. Its importance for the history of the Crusades was first noted in the eighteenth century by Dom Berthereau and for this reason the first two volumes of the magisterial Recueil des Historiens des Croisades: Documents Orientaux combined an edition and translation of large extracts from al-Kāmil fi’l-ta⁠ʾrīkh, under the wrongly tran- scribed title Kamel-altevarykh.4 Later, Francesco Gabrieli made extensive use of Ibn al-Athīr’s chronicle in his Arab Historians of the Crusades, using it for at least a third of the translations contained within his text.5 Such a signifi- cant position accorded to Ibn al-Athīr’s major chronicle is certainly justified, despite some scholars’ criticisms surrounding his use of sources and his Zengid sympathies. The Political Situation of Syria and the Jazīra and the Life of Ibn al-Athīr Ibn al-Athīr (555/1160–630/1233) was born into a wealthy family of well- educated scholars, members of which rose to prominence in the service of the Zengid rulers of Mosul and who also had good relations with the Ayyūbids.

Introduction The Mediterranean Basin in the medieval era was, itself, a cultural contact zone, where Jews, Muslims, and Christians of various sects and languages met, trading ideas, goods, and battles. The strip of Levantine coastal territory from Ascalon in the south to Antioch and Edessa in the north conquered by the armed pilgrimages now called the Crusades has come to be known the “Crusader States,” but I find the “Latin East” to be a more accurate title: Europeans who came to the Levant quickly lost the total-war ideology associated with Crusaders, and developed an identity based on being Latins in and of the East.

Applying historical approach to several tales in this book, Nizam al-Mulk endeavored to formulate his favorite and pleasant political-religious thought which defines political thought of Sunni Islam. The first and the most prominent and detailed tale is Amir Adel, which is investigated closely in this research by comparing to the other historical texts. This study sheds light on differences and peculiar aspects of Nizam al- Mulk’s Amir Adel narration and seeks reasons behind these significant differences in Nizam al-Mulk’s religious and political thought. Hence, there are two questions for this research: 1- What are the components of Nizam al-Mulk’s political thought; 2- How these components can form his Amir Adel narration. Keywords: Political thought, Amir Adel, Siyasatnama, Nizam al-Mulk, Seljuk.

  • The Effective Reasons for the Rise and Fall of Abbasids State
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 7 No 3 S1 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy May 2016 The Effective Reasons for the Rise and fall of Abbasids State Ahmad Lamei Giv1,* 1*Faculty of Literature and Humanities, Department of Persian language and Literature, University of Birjand, Birjand, Iran Corresponding Author: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2016.v7n3s1p449 Abstract Bani Abbas were the descendants of Muhammad's uncle Abbas. They used this dependence to the prophethood family well in order to achieve power and managed more than five centuries of Muslim rule as his successor. Despite the prosperity and power of the state in the first period, they gradually weakened so that the last Abbasid caliph was killed by the Mongol invasion to Baghdad in 656 Hijri and the government collapsed. Using an analytical- explanatory method, article examines the factors affecting the rise and fall of the Abbasids. Since the main research concentration is investigaion of effective reasons in the rise and fall of Abbasid state, this article explains the reasons using a descriptive-analytical method by comparison of reports from former and classic references. This study uncovers that the Persians’ unsparing efforts, support by parties and groups opposed to the Umayyads, regular and robust communication network between Ale Abbas and the inviters and creating a strong connection between bless Alawites and Abbasids have important roles in the rise of Abbasids. On the other hand, a change in policy towards Persians and Alawites, pushing the two groups of caliphate system, the incompetence of some caliphs and influence of Turkish element on the Abbasid caliphate causes weakness and decadence of the Abbasids.
