1. MULTIPLE TOOL WITH BELT COVER

This is one of the most important items in your kit. While the accessories vary, a good multi-tool can contain pliers, wire cutters, wire strippers, multiple blades, can opener / bottle opener, various screwdrivers, screwdrivers, scissors, tweezers, ruler, punch, etc.

2. MACHETE

Although not very compact, a machete is lighter than most axes and serves more purposes. If you have a machete and multi-tool in your kit, you won’t need an ax or a knife. The only function that is lost with this removal is the hammer on the back of most axes, but clubs or stones will work well for most hammering needs in survival situations.

Blades are made from many different types of metals and alloys, in different temperaments and thicknesses, widths, lengths, styles, and shapes. Handles are made from many different types of materials in many different shapes and sizes. A good survival machete will have an 18-inch or larger semi-flexible blade that is easy to sharpen, but maintains a good edge with moderate use. Most importantly, the handle MUST be comfortable and fit well in your hand. With a machete, you can perform any task that can be done with a large knife or ax. It can also be used for digging or prying, or as a formidable weapon. Install and use a wrist cord when cutting or swinging a machete.

3. PARACHUTE CORD

The most common type of parachute cable has a tensile strength of 550 pounds. That’s a lot heavier than necessary for most survival uses. The diameter of this cord is 4 mm. That doesn’t sound like much, but it does add up. A smaller diameter cord with a tensile strength of 200 to 250 pounds is sufficient and is half the volume. Use it to erect and build shelters and useful furniture for camping, repair clothing and equipment, or as a sling to contain and carry loads, bundles of firewood, branches, reeds or grass as bedding, pluck dead branches from trees for firewood, tie boots, belts, traps and traps, “burglar” alarms, splints and secure bandages in place, fire-lighting supplies … Bring a minimum of 30 ‘.

4. DUCT TAPE

Get a good sturdy brand roll. Use it to repair clothes, boots, tools and equipment, build shelters, furniture and implements. Use it to relieve friction hot spots on your feet to prevent blisters, and wrap your hands like makeshift gloves. Twist it on a “rope” if necessary, which is good for snowshoeing. It is also a good mousetrap and fire starter.

5. DENTAL THREAD

A 200 ‘spool of waxed floss can be invaluable. While it is important for maintaining good oral hygiene, it can serve other purposes, such as repairing small items, sewing and sewing clothes, boots (or even fur), making tools and weapons, or being used as fishing line.

6. SMALL DIAMETER WIRE

It can be galvanized, stainless steel or copper. The more flexible the better. Use it to repair equipment items, cheat and trap, and in the fire pit to suspend a pot, meat, and other food over the fire for cooking. You can make a grill or “toaster” out of wire.

7. PLASTIC SHEET

A sturdy 6 mil 6’x8 ‘or larger black sheet. Use as a windbreaker, attached, shelter roof, mosquito net, ground tarp, blanket or poncho, and to protect gear and clothing from rain, snow, and spray. Use it to collect and store water, make a solar still. The black color absorbs sunlight creating heat that will keep you warm and generate more water faster than clear plastic when used as a solar still, and may be more visible to rescuers in certain terrains and conditions.

8. SURVIVAL BLANKET (SPACE) MYLAR

The reflective qualities of a space blanket are ideal for reflecting the heat of your body towards you, or the heat of a campfire towards you or towards your shelter. Along with the plastic sheet, there are many combinations and configurations that can be incorporated to provide shelter and / or bedding. A space blanket is shiny like aluminum foil on at least one side, which is good for signaling rescuers in sunny conditions.

9. WAX CANDLES

Use for lighting, heating, cooking, lighting a fire, or signaling at night. The melted wax can be used to waterproof leather boots and cotton thighs, knees, and trouser seats. During “bug season,” include a citronella candle to protect yourself from bugs. If you are short of water and your mouth is dry, chewing on some wax will generate saliva and can help control hunger pangs. The act of chewing helps blood circulation in your head, which can result in a more alert brain, which is good in a survival situation.

10. STRONG ZIPPER BAGS

The 1 or 2 gallon bags are ideal for packing clothing, food, toiletries, and other equipment items. Use it to collect and store water. The gallon-size bags can be worn over socks to keep feet dry, or on the hat or head to keep head dry. Sandwich bags work great for storing smaller items. Spent bags can be used to start fires.

11. HEAVY DUTY PAPER TOWELS

Paper towels are good not only for the obvious everyday uses we find for them, but they are also good for other uses like; note paper and wound dressings, sediment filtration from drinking water and toilet paper.

12. FLAMMABLE FOODS

Fried snacks and doritos are the best options. While it is not the healthiest food available, it will still provide fuel for your body and much-needed salt, which helps prevent muscle cramps. Fried and Doritos highly flammable. Use 2 or 3 as tender, or light the entire single serving bag for a quick fire in wet conditions.

When putting together your kit, think of other uses that an item could serve or other items that could serve its purpose. Consolidate to eliminate the need for multiple single-use items to reduce your kit’s weight and space requirements. Assemble your gear to suit your particular needs, but keep it simple and streamlined with multipurpose survival gear items and tackle your next survival situation with confidence.

In this case, there are components and peripherals that are necessary to assemble a modern personal computer (pc). These basic components of the personal computer are:

The motherboard: The motherboard is the heart of the system. It really is the PC, everything else is connected and controls everything in the system. Without a doubt, the most important component of a personal computer is the motherboard. Virtually all of the internal components of a computer are connected to the motherboard, and their characteristics largely determine what your computer is capable of, not to mention its overall performance.

The Processor: The processor is often considered the engine of the computer or the power plant. Also called central processing unit (CPU).

Memory (RAM) – System memory is often called Random Access Memory (RAM). This is the main work memory, which contains all the programs and data that the processor is using at any given time.

Enclosure / Chassis: The enclosure is the frame that houses the motherboard, power unit, disk drive, and any other physical component of the system.

Power Unit – The Power Unit supplies electrical power to the internal components of the system.

Floppy disk drive: The floppy disk drive is a low-capacity removable media, magnetic storage device. Many recent systems use another type of removable USB or magnetic flash memory device instead of a floppy disk drive for removable storage.

Hard Drive – The hard drive is the primary high-capacity storage medium in the system. These are to say that all system information is stored on the hard drive.

CD / DVD drive: CD (compact disc) and DVD (digital versatile disc). They are used for installation and are relatively high capacity removable media.

The keyboard – The keyboard is an input device used to enter data into the system. The keyboard is the primary device in a system that is used by humans to communicate with the system.

The mouse – This is a pointing device.

Video Card – The video card controls the information you see on the monitor. Without the video card, no information will be displayed on the monitor screen.

Former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is married to Abhishek Bachchan, the son of legendary Bollywood personality Amitabh Bachchan. Aishwarya is also one of the leading Bollywood actresses. She has great brand equity for the advertising industry in the country.

The media and astrologers continue to speculate on his career, family life, and progeny issues. In this article we will use the prediction techniques established in Vedic astrology to interpret your horoscope promises for the coming year regarding the three aspects of life mentioned above.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was born on November 1, 1973 when Virgo Lagna (Ascendant) was on the rise. The sun sign according to the Vedic system is Libra. According to the western system, it is Scorpio. The moon sign is Sagittarius. The Nakshatra birth is “Purva Ashadha 2nd pada”.

Here is a brief description of the planetary location:

Ascendant (Lagna) is Virgo. There is no planet or aspect in the lagna.
The second house has weakened Sun.
The third house has Mercury retrograde.
The fourth house has Venus, Luna, and Rahu.
The fifth house has weakened Jupiter.
The sixth house has no planet.
The seventh house has no planet.
The eighth house has Mars retrograde.
The ninth house has no planet.
The 10th house has retrograde Saturn and Ketu.
The eleventh house has no planet.
The twelfth house has no planet.

Aishwarya Rai is currently running the Rahu / Jupiter dasa (timing according to Vedic astrology) which will continue until January 2012. The “Varshparvesh” (solar income) horoscope shows Sagittarius “lagna” (ascending) rising on the eastern horizon. The next year has been analyzed using dasa analysis and predictive techniques of the “Varshparvesh horoscope”.

Career in the year 2009-2010: –

The “Muntha” (parameter used in Varshphal) is in Virgo which happens to be placed in the 10th house in the “Varshparvesh horoscope”. This indicates that your focus after November 1, 2009 (birthday) will be on career-related matters. The first “Mudda dasa” (timing method in “Varshphal”) is from Venus, which is placed in the 10th house, indicating that the focus until December 31, 2009 will be on the premiere of the film and the signature of new contracts.

Financially, things will improve in Sun’s “Mudda dasa” which will start from January 1, 2010 and continue until January 19, 2010. Career and professional life will become secondary after that. The focus will shift to family problems. Career and professional issues may once again take center stage in Saturn’s “Mudda dasa” as of June 25, 2010.

Family perspectives in the year 2009-2010: –

The transit of “Rahu” over the natal Moon and the fourth house means that family matters will be very important in the year 2010, especially after the start of “Mudda dasa” of the Moon in the “Varshphal horoscope” from the 20th of January 2010. “Rahu” The fourth house transit is likely to cause you some friction on the home front. Problems related to the health of close family members can be a cause for concern during the year.

Prospects for progeny in the year 2009-2010: –

The antardasa race is from “Rahu / Jupiter”. The location of Jupiter in the fifth house (house of the progeny) indicates that the time has come in Aishwarya Rai’s life to make plans for the children. However, special mention is needed that Jupiter weakened in the fifth house is not very good for progeny prospects. The fifth lord is also affected by being retrograde and being placed on the “Rahu / Ketu” axis.

Checking from the “Varshpravesh horoscope” the fifth Lord Mars is placed in his “rashi” (sign) of weakening in the eighth house along with “Ketu”. The period from February 20, 2010 can be difficult with regard to progeny. The period from October 14, 2010 to November 1, 2010 is the period to take into account. The couple may have to turn to Jupiter and Mars astrological healing to have a healthy child.

I have been buying and selling comics successfully for over 15 years. I am often asked about how to make money on comics and if buying and selling comics can be a good source of income. I would honestly say yes, but don’t quit your day job. There are too many ups and downs in the market. And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can lose your shirt (or blouse).

However, if someone were to challenge me to turn $ 1000 into $ 10,000 by doing nothing more than buying and selling comics on eBay. This is what I would do.

First of all, I would spend my $ 1000 buying top-notch mainstream comic book titles that almost anyone anywhere on the planet would recognize.

I would focus on the big 4: Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, or X-Men. These comics are the most popular on eBay and generally sell faster … and at higher prices … than any other title. Sure, there are some exceptions, but these four titles are the “first-class stocks” of the comics.

I would fight the urge to think like a “collector” and instead think like a “dealer” and buy nothing but these four titles … and concentrate on titles published in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

Let me be clear. I would NOT buy Flash, Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four, or any of the other comics that are turning into movies these days. They just don’t have the next big 4.

I would NOT buy any other X titles … nothing is as popular with comic book buyers as the original X-men … no matter what you might read to the contrary.

I would NOT buy “hot” comics with big breasts and half-naked women in tight suits on the cover. Nerd ,. Not.

Only the big 4.

Second, I would buy the big 4 in the best condition to find them.

I would look for comics that had tight covers. Tense spines. Comic books that anyone would be proud to own. I would make sure they were NOT blocky / CGC encoded and then I would pay to have these blocky and CGC encoded comics. This validates its status and gives this comic great credibility when it comes to selling.

Third, once I did all of this, these would be comic books that I would be ready to sell on eBay.

I would set a reserve price, although most of the time I shouldn’t. I would do this to make sure that when they were sold, they were sold at the price I wanted, not the low price. Frankly, sometimes they would sell and sometimes they wouldn’t. However, it would be persistent and it would stay that way until it got the price it wanted. And if I’ve done my homework, this should be a piece of cake.

Finally, I would repeat this process that I have presented here as many times as necessary to reach 10,000.

What happens the moment you accept the Son of God, Jesus Christ, as your Savior and Teacher? Many people believe that they have received eternal life in that instant. But the truth is that the path to eternal life is a journey that lasts a lifetime, and eternal life is only one part of the bundle of blessings that come with salvation for a faithful Christian. Here, let’s explore the various stages of salvation and its eternal blessings and privileges.

Stage 1: Justification

Pretend that today you have accepted Christ as your Savior and Lord by acknowledging your sins, confessing them and seeking God’s forgiveness, and voluntarily submitting to God’s will and commandments to rule the rest of your life. The moment you repent by turning to Christ, you have been justified by your faith.

Justification by faith is receiving the declaration of righteousness. God declares you righteous, with all your past sins forgiven, when you put faith in His Son. Your plate of sins has been cleansed. As a result, you have become a new creation with a new beginning: “Old things have passed away. Behold, all are made new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17, WEB)

Stage 2: Reconciliation

Justification brings reconciliation. Before accepting Jesus Christ in his heart and life, he had been an enemy of God because of his sinful lifestyle (Colossians 1:21; Romans 5:10). But once you are justified by faith, you have been reconciled to God, where the wall of hostility between you and God has been broken down.

Because you have been justified and reconciled, you are now blessed with peace with God. “Peace with God” is an essential and fundamental element of communion with God. You cannot have a relationship with God without peace. That peace is also the peace that helps you stay at peace during life’s difficulties. This peace is granted by God, you do not develop it yourself. Only when you are justified and reconciled will you possess such peace.

Stage 3: Adoption

As someone who has been justified and reconciled, you have now been adopted as a child of God. It is from this moment that you can call God “Abba” (“Father”) (Romans 8:15). Therefore, although God is the Creator of every person, He is the Father only of those who have accepted His Son. Sonship comes only through Jesus Christ.

As an adopted son of God, you have become an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ. The heir of God will be glorified along with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17). Glorification is the final stage of salvation, which I will address later.

Stage 4: Sanctification

After adoption into the family of God, your new life has begun according to God’s will. In this stage of salvation, God will gradually and steadily mold you into the person He wants you to be. He will develop in you the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which are Christlike qualities that include love, peace, joy, patience, goodness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control (Galatians 5: 22-23). This is progressive sanctification, the process of setting you apart for God’s holy use and purpose by molding you into the spiritual image of Jesus (Romans 8:29; 1 Thessalonians 4: 7).

The first three stages – justification, reconciliation, and adoption – are all works performed exclusively by God. But the sanctification process is teamwork: you have to work with God to accomplish God’s will in your life. You have to cooperate by obeying His voice and allowing Him to direct your life.

How will God guide and guide you to follow him? He will guide you through His Holy Spirit, which He has given you by accepting His Son for your salvation. The Holy Spirit will regenerate you, mature you spiritually, and sanctify you for good works (Titus 3: 5; Ephesians 2:10).

As the Holy Spirit guides you, you have the option to obey or disobey Him. God does not take away your free will. Therefore, it is up to you whether you will live according to God’s will as a true child of God or rebel against Him.

Listen to what Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to me: ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day: ‘ Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, in your name we cast out demons, and in your name we did many mighty works? ‘ Then I’ll tell them, “I never knew you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity. “(Matthew 7: 21-23)

Yes, the sanctification stage of salvation is a crucial stage! If you do not do God’s will and deliberately continue to sin after accepting Jesus Christ, then a “certain terrible expectation of judgment” awaits you:

“For if we sin voluntarily after having received the knowledge of the truth, there is no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrible expectation of judgment, and a fiery fierceness that will devour the adversaries. A man who ignores the words of Moses” . The law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be judged worthy of the one who has trampled the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which He was sanctified as an impious thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? Because we know the one who said: ‘Vengeance is mine,’ says the Lord, ‘I will pay.’ Again, ‘The Lord will judge his people.’ It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. “(Hebrews 10: 26-31)

“For as for those who were once enlightened and tasted the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then turned away, it is impossible to renew them again for let them repent; seeing that they crucify to themselves the Son of God again, and openly put him to shame. For the land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and yields a suitable harvest for those for whose sake it is also tilled, he receives blessing from God, but if he carries thorns and thistles, he is rejected and close to being cursed, whose purpose is to be burned. (Hebrews 6: 4-8)

In fact, you have been justified by your faith. But understand that faith without works is dead: “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but has no works? Can faith save him? And if a brother or sister is naked and without daily food ., and one of you says to them: “Go in peace, be warm and be satisfied”; and yet you did not give them what the body needs, what use is it? So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead. Yes , a man will say: “You have faith and I have works”. Show me your faith without works, and by my works I will show you my faith “. (James 2: 14-18)

Even demons believe in God (James 2:19), but will they receive salvation? No, unless they repent and prove their faith to be genuine by works.

Read what God’s Word says about faith and works that work together for justification:

“Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; and the Scripture which says: ‘ Abraham believed God, and it was not credited to him as righteousness’; and he was called God’s friend. You see, man is justified by works, and not only by faith. In the same way, Rahab the prostitute is also justified by works. works, as soon as he received the messengers and sent them another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. ” (James 2: 21-26)

Sanctification will last your whole life. Like a child who cannot physically mature overnight, he will gradually reach spiritual maturity as he lives and learns of God’s principles in the Bible. Whenever you sin, you will have to confess your sin to God, who will forgive you (1 John 1: 9).

As you live according to God’s will, you will experience immeasurable joy in communing with your Creator and His Son: “God is light, and there is no darkness in him. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness.” We lie and we do not tell the truth, but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. “(1 John 1: 5-7)

“Where [in God’s salvation] you rejoice very much, though now for a time, if need be, you have been afflicted in various trials, that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire, may be found to prove in praise, glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ – whom, having not known, you love; in whom, though you do not see him now, but believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory “(1 Peter 1: 6-8).

Stage 5: Glorification

When Jesus returns to earth at his second coming, he will be revealed in all his glory (Luke 9:26). Upon his arrival, all Christians who have ever died will be resurrected to meet him in heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

Jesus “will change the body of our humiliation to conform it to the body of his glory.” (Philippians 3:21) Therefore, when you are resurrected as a Christian, you will be revealed in blood as our Lord Jesus Christ (1 John 3: 2). You will be resurrected incorruptible, because “this corruptible must clothe himself with incorruption, and this mortal must clothe himself with immortality … then what is written will come to pass: ‘Death is devoured by victory'” (1 Corinthians 15:53, 54). )

This, my friend, will be the final stage of your salvation. First you have been justified, sanctified and now glorified. As a glorified new individual, you will never again experience or know pain, sickness, suffering, or death (Revelation 21: 4). Instead, you will live in love, peace, and security in the presence of your Creator, Yahweh Almighty God, and His Son, Jesus Christ, your Savior, for all eternity (Revelation 21: 3; Revelation 22: 3-5).

That is why “the sufferings of this present time are not worthy of being compared with the glory that will be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18)

Therefore, we must not lose heart in the face of our current sufferings and difficulties; although we are decaying externally, we are nevertheless being spiritually renewed day after day, because “our slight affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more and more in the extreme an eternal weight of glory; while we do not look at things that are seen, but those that are not seen (2 Corinthians 4: 17-18)

Let us all pray that, after our death, we can echo the words of the Apostle Paul: “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the journey. I have kept the faith. From now on, the crown of justice is saved for me, that the Lord, the just judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his coming. ” (2 Timothy 4: 7-8) In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

For the ancient Greeks, the concept of art covered all forms of creative activity that contributed to their cultural development. Those of us who are lucky enough to be born in this part of the world can see the artistic heritage of Athens with every step we take. Everywhere we look there are visible traces of architecture that has been copied but never outgrown. In museums around the world we can see extraordinary examples of sculpture that has taken figures full of life, beauty and harmony from cold marble. Perhaps nothing is more a uniquely Athenian achievement than Attic pottery, which, in its quest for creative perfection through vibrant ornamentation, tells us about the way of life of the people, their worship of the gods, and their joys and sorrows. . The attic soil has always produced a rich clay for the potter’s trade, whether for domestic, religious or other purposes. With this material, the Athenian artists – potters and painters – known and anonymous, experimented, created and achieved immortality.

One of the earliest pieces of pottery produced in Attic workshops is the famous large (1.75 m high) amphora on the Dipylon Gate, now on display in the Archaeological Museum. It was found in the Keramikos necropolis, having adorned the grave of a distinguished citizen of the 8th century BC. The scene it represents leaves no doubt as to its use as a tombstone. Its shape is simple, without ostentation; It has a narrow base and an elongated neck, indicating a daring potter who did not fear such an unwieldy size. The decoration consists of successive series of straight lines and restless Greek key designs, while in the middle is the funeral procession with the body placed on a cart surrounded by bereaved relatives and professional mourners who pull out their hair; little birds fill the spaces. The scene recalls Cretan funeral songs and maniotes, timeless expressions of the pain of death. The entire work – both the vase and its decoration – was characteristic of the severity of the time, where geometric symbols were close to transcendental.

In that same period, a completely different type of pottery began to be produced in Corinth and in neighboring Sikyon, consisting of small round vessels with richly painted decorative belts depicting animals from Asian countries. Griffins, sphinxes, and lions suggested trade between Corinth and the eastern ports. Pottery of the same type was produced in Milos and Rhodes, other well-known trading centers of the ancient Aegean. However, it was the Corinthians who first used the black figure technique of making an incision in the outline of the shapes on the surface of the vessel and then painting them black.

At the beginning of the most productive period of Athens, Solon and his laws brought in many capable potters to produce works for a secure clientele. At the same time, the artisans themselves began to respond to artistic demands by creating new shapes and sizes with the corresponding development in decoration. The rigid and inflexible figures of the geometric funeral urn gradually acquired elasticity of movement. The artists were initially inspired by relief sculptures, deriving their theme from the inexhaustible themes of mythology. And while the Corinthian pioneers gave their work an oriental flair by painting exotic decorative figures on it, Athenian art turned narrative. Their black figures revealed the passions of gods and heroes, as well as the occupations of common people: their work, ceremonies and weaknesses. At first, the scenes evolved horizontally, as did the Corinthian vessels that were their models, although the Athenian works were much larger. The incised decoration revealed the natural color of the clay, and only in the female forms the faces and exposed parts of the body were painted white. Very often, the artists added the names of the portrayed figures in archaic writing.

Starting in the 6th century, artisans were no longer anonymous when they began to sign their works. The first signed piece of pottery we have is from a man named Sophilos. This priceless fragment is dated to 570 BC. C. It was this same craftsman who left us a signed scene of the funeral games held in honor of the dead Patroclus outside the walls of Troy, in which spectators are shown seated on a double platform with steps: the first tribune to be go into the history of the tiered theater.

The golden age of black-figure vases was from 550 to 500 BC. To this period belongs the famous Francois vase, now exhibited in Florence, on which the potter Ergotimos and the painter Kleitias proudly placed their signatures. These two artists managed to portray 250 living figures of people and animals in five parallel rows in a vase with a total height of only 66 cm. This advance made Attic vessels sought after throughout the Mediterranean and led settlers from southern Italy and Sicily to establish their own workshops, leaving behind many examples of their incomparable art. Museum windows are filled with vases depicting gods, cheeky satyrs, drunken mortals, lovers, hard-hearted pedophiles, and noble horses ready to pull the chariots of heroes.

Exekias, perhaps the greatest ceramic painter of his time, lived around 530 BC. C. He was the first to dare to adorn the outside of his mugs with two huge eyes of superstitious origin. The most splendid example of his art is the kylix in Munich, the interior of which shows Dionysus carelessly sailing his ship, transforming pirates who wanted to wound him into dolphins. A lush vine sprouts from the mast and the grapes cast their shadow on the billowing sail. This trip, on a dreamlike red background, was the preface to a new form of ceramic painting, with red figures.

This new technique was exactly the opposite of the previous one, since here the entire surface of the vessel was painted black, except for the previously drawn figures that retained the warm brick color of the fired clay. The artists no longer affected the design, but used brushes, capturing the details of the dress and the hairstyle made with safe lines. Women are no longer presented in white. In contrast, both male and female forms were frequently covered with a reddish varnish that reflected some of the internal heat of the human body.

The inventor of the red-figure technique is considered to be a man named Andokides, although he himself often decorated his vases the old-fashioned way. The transition period can be seen in his so-called “bilingual” vessels in which the same scene was presented with red figures on one side and black figures on the other. Cups with black figures on the inside and red on the outside have been found. Then certain differences in the details of the features began to appear. For example, in black pottery, men were shown with round eyes, while women always had long eyes; However, in the red figure technique, men and women had the same almond-shaped eyes with thick eyelashes. At the same time, the artists were moving away from the inflexible archaic relief that showed things in profile. The artists’ study of the full-length sculptures was clearly visible in the representation of figures that appeared to be facing the viewer. Looking, for example, at the marble child of Kritias in the Acropolis Museum and a youthful figure on a piece of pottery, we can detect precisely the same proud posture of the body.

The increasing realism of the sculpture could not help but influence the ceramics, so that the painted decoration also began to acquire movement and vitality. Scenes from everyday life were featured, sometimes bordering on mockery. The painters were relentless in their portrayal of the elderly, showing all the wrinkles and ugliness of age. The deformed satyrs gave artists the opportunity to display their art and, at the same time, provoked joy. There is a characteristic goblet in Munich in which the painter Epileios shows an extremely ugly satyr with an unlikely name Terpon (delicacy), exclaiming the phrase “sweet wine” before a full wineskin. Elsewhere, explicitly erotic scenes were drawn in which facial expressions were as graphically represented as movement. Sometimes multi-figure compositions are presented at different levels for narrative purposes. The inscriptions appeared less and less frequently as time passed and the art developed.

A wonderful example of a red-figure vase from 500 BC. C. is the Sosias kylix in Berlin. It represents a moment in the Trojan War in which Achilles tends to Patroclus’ wound. The scene is vividly presented: for example, the details of the heroes’ hair are emphasized with small lines and their scaled armor appears to be in relief. For the first time, the eyes are drawn in profile, precisely as we see them in reality. Patroclus is shown with his mouth ajar, clenching his teeth from the pain of his wound, which Achilles has bandaged with a white cloth. Achilles’ left hand and the injured man’s right foot, with its bony fingers, demonstrate superb technique.

The possibilities offered to the artist by red-figure ceramic painting completely supplanted the ancient black-figure technique that had prevailed exclusively in Athenian pottery decoration until the fourth century. The amphorae, as their name indicates in Greek, were vessels with two handles to facilitate their transport. In these amphorae, the Athenians would send oil, wine, nuts, and legumes to the entire known world. With the establishment of the Panathenaia, it became a habit to give amphorae filled with oil from the sacred olive trees of the goddess Athena to the winners of the competitions. The height of these vessels was about 70 cm and their shape was more or less round, always with a small circular base and a clay plug to protect the contents. Often the neck of the vase was decorated with anthemia. In the Panathenaic amphoras there was always a presentation of Athena in arms on the one hand and the contest in which the victor had distinguished himself on the other.

On the evolution of painting as such, we have no more knowledge than the writings that have come down to us. From them we derive descriptions of the works of Apellis and Polygnotos, but very little else. That is why ceramic painting is so valuable. The so-called Rich Order of 5th century art, with its luxurious dress, colors, and golden jewelry, is highly indicative of a comfortable society. The Attic lekythoi are equally eloquent.

White lekythos were another type of pottery in the Polis, but with limited use. These vases generally contained aromatic oils for the preparation of the dead. After the funeral procession and cremation, they were placed in the tomb or on the steps of the funerary monument. The entire surface of this special container was coated in a whitish color in which figures were freely drawn. Usually, the dead person was depicted receiving funeral gifts from loved ones or some other scene related to the death. The white background of these vases encouraged the use of colors in the figures and especially in the clothing. Dark or blond hair could be magnificently depicted, as could the expressions on the faces of those in mourning, which showed mortals accepting the will of the almighty gods in noble pain. The representations in the white Attic lekythoi were the forerunners of the magnificent wall paintings of Macedonian tombs to which the land of the Hellenic north is only now gradually abandoning.

Break down 1996 into the top news, sports and entertainment events; This is what happened …

Two tragedies struck the hearts of the British in 1996, and the nation’s condolences were expressed to the people of Dunblane and Manchester. In Dunblane, a crazed gunman shot himself at a local nursery school, killing an entire class and their teacher. Later in the year, in direct response to these dire events, the government announced that it would ban almost all firearms in the UK.

In Manchester, a huge bomb devastated its busy central shopping area just as it filled with eager shoppers on Saturdays. Police managed to initiate an evacuation before it exploded, but dozens of people were still killed or injured in the blast. Such was the damage caused, that the episode caused a total regeneration of the Manchester city center.

Also in the news in ’96 was the introduction of the first genetically modified (or transgenic) food that went on sale in British supermarkets. The modified tomato puree was the cause of all the fuss and some critics called it “Frankenstein food.”

The world of sport was dominated by England’s organization of the European football championships (Euro ’96). The England-Scotland group stage match attracted a lot of attention with Gazza’s wonderful goal that ultimately stole the victory from the home side. Encouraged by local support, the ‘Three Lions’ made it to the semi-finals, and the nation went football crazy as it looked like England was really going to win a major tournament for the first time since ’66. To be expected, he lost on penalties to Germany.

In terms of entertainment, crowned carrot Chris Evans reinvented the chat show format with his hit show ‘TFI Friday’. At the BBC, a group of thirty-something lawyers was getting huge audience ratings; “This Life” is a bit like American “Friends”, but with a lot more “bad” behavior and cheeky stuff.

The big screen was blessed with one of the jewels in the British cinematographic crown, ‘Trainspotting’. Despite featuring heroin, needles, vomit, and disgusting toilets, this was the coolest thing of the year and brought Ewan McGregor to ‘Star Wars’ out of nowhere. The most familiar movie of 1996 was ‘Toy Story’; being the first feature film to be animated entirely by computer. The results were quite staggering and people flocked to see ‘Woody’ (a shooting cowboy) and ‘Buzz Lightyear’ (a high-tech space ranger) fight to become little Andy’s favorite toy.

On the PC, one can play various games. This is because the PC has several features that provide the necessary environment to install and play games.
