21st-Vitaliano/NLP An Integrative Model For States Of Consciousness Gordana Vitaliano , M.D. Boston, MA Preface This article is an excerpt from the new book, "Consciousness, Scientific Challenge of the 21st Century." Introduction The central task of our new integrative NLP model (Stanojevic-Vale ,1993), whether experimental or applied, is the understanding of the nature of human consciousness. In the past few decades the West has witnessed a growing interest among scientists, psychologists and philosophers in what Ken Wilber (1977) has called "perennial psychology" - a universal view as to the nature of human consciousness. The core insight of the perennial psychology is that human consciousness is a multi leveled manifestation of a universal consciousness. The perennial psychology proposes that the various levels of consciousness (except that of Mind itself) are the products of dualism (Deutch, 1969).

Albrecht Dürer Dürer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, has secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatises, which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions. Early life (1471–90)[edit] Dürer's godfather was Anton Koberger, who left goldsmithing to become a printer and publisher in the year of Dürer's birth and quickly became the most successful publisher in Germany, eventually owning twenty-four printing-presses and having many offices in Germany and abroad. Koberger's most famous publication was the Nuremberg Chronicle, published in 1493 in German and Latin editions. Because Dürer left autobiographical writings and became very famous by his mid-twenties, his life is well documented by several sources.

About | The Pekar Project THE PEKAR PROJECT Harvey Pekar’s First Ongoing Webcomics Serieswww.smithmag.net/pekarproject Harvey Pekar’s been mining the mundane for magic for more than 30 years in his autobiographical American Splendor comics. Now he has teamed with SMITH and some remarkable artists to create his first ongoing webcomics series—and some of his jazziest work to date. The new stories will appear every other week, with interviews, creator spotlights, and behind-the-scenes goodies, as well as essays and art from Pekar collaborators and inhabitants of the extended Pekarverse. How does the notion to make webcomics come to a avowed technophobe like Pekar who doesn’t even use an answering machine let alone a computer? He first dipped a toe into webcomic waters by contributing a story to SMITH’s Next-Door Neighbor anthology of true-life stories, edited by Dean Haspiel, a frequent American Splendor artist who illustrated Pekar’s graphic novel THE QUITTER. SMITH is proud to present The Pekar Project.
Dürer's Magic Square Dürer's magic square is a magic square with magic constant 34 used in an engraving entitled Melancholia I by Albrecht Dürer (The British Museum, Burton 1989, Gellert et al. 1989). The engraving shows a disorganized jumble of scientific equipment lying unused while an intellectual sits absorbed in thought. Dürer's magic square is located in the upper right-hand corner of the engraving. The numbers 15 and 14 appear in the middle of the bottom row, indicating the date of the engraving, 1514. Dürer's magic square has the additional property that the sums in any of the four quadrants, as well as the sum of the middle four numbers, are all 34 (Hunter and Madachy 1975, p. 24).
Dürer's Rhinoceros The rhinoceros[edit] The first known print of the rhinoceros is a rather primitive woodcut which illustrates a poem by Giovanni Giacomo Penni published in Rome in July 1515. (Biblioteca Colombina, Seville). On 20 May 1515, an Indian rhinoceros arrived in Lisbon from the Far East. After a relatively fast voyage of 120 days, the rhinoceros was finally unloaded in Portugal, near the site where the Manueline Belém Tower was under construction. The animal was examined by scholars and the curious, and letters describing the fantastic creature were sent to correspondents throughout Europe. It was housed in King Manuel's menagerie at the Ribeira Palace in Lisbon, separate from his elephants and other large beasts at the Estaus Palace. Dürer's woodcut[edit] Pen and ink drawing of the rhinoceros, by Albrecht Dürer, 1515, now in the British Museum. 5218.161 The manuscript caption gives the date of the arrival of the rhinoceros in Lisbon as "1513" [sic].[20]

Albrecht Dürer: Biography & Painter Renaissance is Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). We know his life better than the lives of other artists of his time. Dürer traveled, and found, he says, more appreciation abroad than at home. Albrecht Dürer was born in the imperial free city of Nuremberg on May 27,1471, at a time when the city was shifting from its Gothic past to a more progressive form of Renaissance Humanism. Dürer, who did not care for goldsmithing, was apprenticed to one of his fathers’ close friends, painter and book illustrator Michael Wohlgmuth, in 1486. Albecht Dürer left Michael Wohlgemuth’s studio in 1490 after finishing his apprenticeship to go on Wanderjahre (wandering journey). Shortly after, Albrecht went onto Basel to work with another of the Schongauer brothers. Due to a prearranged marriage, Dürer had to return to Nuremberg. During the ensuing ten years in Nuremberg, from the summer 1495 to fall of 1505, Dürer generated a great abundance of works that strongly secured his notoriety.
