cultural differences in First World War finance

Often no longer welcome in their former homes they were forced to leave behind, stripped of their belongings and dignity, they had to move on regardless. Their children suffered too, as there was always fear, anxiety and sadness about countless relatives that were killed during this unrivalled genocide. Simon Hammelburg compiled the accounts of...

Satoshi Kikuchi From Eckhart to Ruusbroec
a critical inheritance of mystical themes in the fourteenth century
In this thorough textual, historical, and doctrinal study the author seeks to clarify the relationship between two prominent mystics of the fourteenth century: Meister Eckhart, the German Dominican, and Jan van Ruusbroec, the Brabantine Augustinian. Special attention is paid to Ruusbroec's criticism of mystical tenets circulating in Brabant at that time which were both textually and doctrinally related to Eckhart's condemned propositions in the papal bull In agro dominico. This fact implies that...

Vincent Icke Gravity does not exist
a puzzle for the 21st century
Every scientific fact was born as an opinion about the unknown - a hypothesis. Opinion gradually becomes fact as evidence piles up to support a theory. But what if there are two theories, each of which has produced a myriad of things that correspond perfectly to the phenomena but can't be combined into one? One theory replaced the mystery of gravity with a precise model of space and time. The other theory replaced the mystery of matter with a description of quantum particles. As we understand our...
