![]() Just as visible Nature is populated by an infinite number of living creatures, so, according to Paracelsus, the invisible, spiritual counterpart of visible Nature (composed of the tenuous principles of the visible elements) is inhabited by a host of peculiar beings, to whom he has given the name elementals, and which have later been termed the Nature spirits. The water element of the ancient philosophers has been metamorphosed into the hydrogen of modern science the air has become oxygen the fire, nitrogen the earth, carbon. 'Protoplasm,' says Huxley, 'simple or nucleated, is the formal basis of all life. And it is not only the structural unit with which all living bodies start in life, but with which they are subsequently built up. It is made of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. Henry Drummond, in Natural Law in the Spiritual World, describes this process as follows: "If we analyse this material point at which all life starts, we shall find it to consist of a clear structureless, jelly-like substance resembling albumen or white of egg. Minerals, plants, animals, and men live in a world composed of the gross side of these four elements, and from various combinations of them construct their living organisms. The general term elements has been applied to the lower, or physical, phases of these four primary principles, and the name elemental essences to their corresponding invisible, spiritual constitutions. Earth has likewise two essential parts-the lower being fixed, terreous, immobile the higher, rarefied, mobile, and virtual. Carrying the analogy further, water consists of a dense fluid and a potential essence of a fluidic nature. Fire is visible and invisible, discernible and indiscernible-a spiritual, ethereal flame manifesting through a material, substantial flame. Paracelsus believed that each of the four primary elements known to the ancients (earth, fire, air, and water) consisted of a subtle, vaporous principle and a gross corporeal substance.Īir is, therefore, twofold in nature-tangible atmosphere and an intangible, volatile substratum which may be termed spiritual air. 105 The Elements and Their InhabitantsįOR the most comprehensive and lucid exposition of occult pneumatology (the branch of philosophy dealing with spiritual substances) extant, mankind is indebted to Philippus Aureolus Paracelsus (Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim), prince of alchemists and Hermetic philosophers and true possessor of the Royal Secret (the Philosopher's Stone and the Elixir of Life).

![]() Order 66 was executed in 32 BBY, so Obi-Wan was twenty-five when he dueled his former pupil on Mustafar, saw Padmé die of hEaRtBrEaK-I’m sorry, but that motivation still enrages me after all these years-and made sure that Luke was delivered safely into the arms of his Skywalker uncle and aunt on Tatooine. So, he was fifty-seven years old when he died, which means that Sir Alec Guinness was almost a decade too old to be playing him and his age is actually much closer to Ewan McGregor’s current age-since the actor is in his fifties.Īnd since he passed from a Padawan to a full Jedi Knight in 37 BBY, after he defeated Darth Maul in a duel, that means that he was twenty when he and Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn arrived on Tatooine and met a little boy who was going to absolutely wreck the entire galaxy, bringing the Jedi Order down with him. Wookieepedia says that Obi-Wan was born in 57 BBY and died, obviously, in 0 BBY - since his duel with Darth Vader takes place just a few weeks before the Battle of Yavin itself. So, let’s calculate Obi-Wan’s age according to these dates. But does Obi-Wan’s in-universe age match that of his actors?Įvents in the Star Wars universe are classified as either BBY, “Before the Battle of Yavin”, or ABY, “After the Battle of Yavin”-making the watershed moment of the history of the galaxy, the battle that resulted in the first big victory of the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire (with the destruction of the first Death Star). He was 65-66 when he appeared as a Force Ghost in Empire Strikes Back and 68-69 in Return of the Jedi. And conversely, Sir Alec Guinness was 62-63 when he played older Ben Kenobi in the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope. But stay with me! I’m doing science!Įwan McGregor himself was 27-28 when The Phantom Menace was released 30-31 during Attack of the Clones and 33-34 in Revenge of the Sith. Looking at the timeline, we know Obi-Wan was young enough to still be a Padawan when Anakin first meets him on Tatooine and old enough to be an elderly man when he dies dueling Darth Vader on the first Death Star. Starting from his age-how old is Obi-Wan exactly? The Age of the Actors So, as we all wait for May 27th, when the first episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi is set to release on Disney Plus, we can take this opportunity to freshen up our knowledge of one of the most iconic Jedi masters of the galaxy far, far away. Anakin you have cringe lines but I still love you immensely what can I do. The three fire buttons were assigned to three actions for Aladdin: throwing an apple, jumping, and swinging his scimitar. Jafar's Palace: the final battle with Jafar (who like in the movie, becomes a cobra).The level includes a boss fight with Iago. Sultan's Palace: Aladdin goes through the palace.Inside the Lamp: a surreal world inspired by the "Friend Like Me" musical. ![]() Rug Ride: the last part of the escape, riding on the Magic Carpet.The Escape: the Cave is collapsing, and Aladdin fights through it.Cave of Wonders: Aladdin goes through the Cave of Wonders in search for the Magic Lamp.Sultan's Dungeon: Aladdin fights his way out of the prison, although it is only a short part of the film.Agrabah Rooftops: Aladdin gets the other half of the beetle jewel fighting with Gazeem (the thief featured in Aladdin's beginning).The Desert: set in the Cave of Wonders desert, where Aladdin must find half of the beetle jewel that opens the way to the cave.Agrabah Market: Aladdin fights guards in the market, in a level based on the "One Jump Ahead" scene in the film.In Abu's bonus round, the player controls the little monkey and has to catch bonus items that fall from the sky, without touching any of the unwanted objects like rocks and pots. The Genie bonus round is a game of luck played for apples, gems or extra lives. ![]() Finding Genie or Abu icons enables bonus rounds. Next to apples, Aladdin can also collect gems which can be traded for lives and continues with merchants. He can defend himself with his sword or by throwing apples. The Sultan's guards and also animals of the desert want to hinder Aladdin in his way. The player controls Aladdin, who must make his way through several levels based on locations from the movie: from the streets and rooftops of Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders and the Sultan's dungeon to the final confrontation in Grand Vizier Jafar's palace. Several levels were very different, including one level where Aladdin must escape from the Cave of Wonders on Carpet and another where he must jump across the Agrabah's rooftops. The game mostly involves killing enemies with basic swordplay and jumping across ledges. The process successfully compressed the data from the animator's drawings into the limited processing capacity of the Sega Mega Drive. This was achieved by use of the "Digicel" process - developed at Virgin Interactive by David Perry, Andy Astor, Mike Dietz, Andy Luckey and Dr. It should be unsurprising, therefore, that the series of Disney games on the Genesis in the early 1990s capture the mood of classic Disney animation better than any before or since. Unlike the SNES version, the Genesis version was worked on by Disney animators under the supervision of Virgin's Animation Producer Andy Luckey and Virgin animators Mike Dietz and Ian Freedman. Griffin at the request of Virgin's audio director, Tommy Tallarico, who did the Genesis instruments and incidental transition music. ![]() Five original compositions and five arrangements from the movie were composed by Donald S. ![]() The platformer had remarkably fluid graphics for the time through the use of cel animation. Aladdin is game for the Sega Genesis designed by Virgin released in 1993, based on the Disney film Aladdin. ![]() ![]() Ray asserted that it was that easy to make bath time fun for those reluctant youngsters. Ray demonstrated how a parent could hold soap in the mouth of the Shark version of the SoapSox and use the specially designed finger grips to hold it securely. The exterior of the product was coated in Terry Cloth, for a durable and effective scrubbing surface. Robert Herjavec and Mark Cuban laughed, they looked like they had experienced such bath time drama in their own homes before.Īlvin revealed a range of seven different product designs and explained how the Soapsox range contained a safe and sterile anti-microbial sponge. He asked the sharks rhetorically ‘How do you get your kids to bathe without all the screaming and shouting?’. When Ray and Alvin appeared on the show they were hoping to get $260,000 investment in exchange for just 10% Equity in the Soapsox business.Īlvin began the pitch by detailing the problem that nearly all parents faced at one time or another, children who didn’t want to take a bath. Needing help with investment and logistics, the pair appeared on Shark Tank in October 2014. When the company began to receive larger orders from major retailers they were unable to process them quickly enough. Ray gave up his career to concentrate on the SoapSox business full time and their product began receiving more attention. With a goal of $45,000 in order to finance the patent application process, conduct certified safety tests and fund the tooling process, their well marketed and impressive campaign achieved its goal, eventually receiving $52,000 from over 600 backers. Ray and Alvan in a Promo for their Kickstarter Campaign.įollowing in the footsteps of many previous Shark Tank entrepreneurs, Ray and Alvin sought support from the Kickstarter crowd funding community in August 2013. ![]() The entrepreneurs founded SoapSox and spent the next two years designing, perfecting and finally producing the first SoapSox prototypes. Alvin was the CEO of a company that specialized in product design and development, exactly the sort of skills Ray needed. Having seen how well his idea had worked and realizing that millions of fellow parents could benefit from it too, he teamed up with his friend Alvin, who was also a father to young children. He discovered that the young boy found the new sponge toy fun and exciting, and was far happier to take a bath now that it was a more enjoyable experience for him. That’s when Ray had a flash of inspiration, he took another stuffed animal and put a sponge inside it. The child didn’t want to let go of his stuffed animal and he didn’t want it to get wet either. There was one young boy who was particularly reluctant to get into the bath and Ray spoke to him as he clutched his stuffed toy for support. ![]() Structure of the medium, data recording Micrograph of recesses and fields Diagram of a cross-section of a pressed plate A standard compact disc, often referred to as an audio CD, stores the digital audio record in a “red book” standard to distinguish it from later variants.

To be part of that statement felt so wonderful.” Those lyrics: “Lonely, lonely deeds that no one sees/I’ve nothing but my name…” He’s facing mortality and sensing none of the stuff matters. Homme later told Mojo how that led to Pop writing “American Valhalla”’s remarkable, self-referential lyric: “Here’s an icon coming to the later stages of his life, the creator of punk rock, who’s survived, and displayed a willingness to be himself in the face of great odds, in a band that was hated but spawned all the good bands. It sprang from a conversation between Josh Homme and Pop about how the Norse version of heaven (Valhalla) is the best “paradise” compared to the afterlives of other cultures. The album’s hypnotic title track, however, is an absolute must-hear. Iggy’s phenomenal 17th album, Post Pop Depression, would represent a landmark in any great artist’s career, and several of its tracks (not least “Break Into Your Heart” and “Gardenia”) deserve honorable mentions, though they don’t make the cut here. The centerpiece of 1986’s David Bowie-helmed Blah Blah Blah album, Pop’s reliably faithful take, titled “Real Wild Child (Wild One),” also helped get his career back on track when it climbed to No.10 on the UK singles chart in January 1987. Its lyrics were reputedly inspired by a brawl at an Aussie wedding reception that ended up in a full-scale riot, so it seemed ideal fare for Iggy to put his anarchic stamp upon. “Real Wild Child”’s title seemingly sums Iggy Pop up to a T, yet this legendary song – originally recorded by Johnny O’Keeffe in 1958 – was actually one of Australia’s first fully-fledged rock’n’roll records. Of these, “Ambition” and “Take Care Of Me” are strong contenders, though the Matlock/Pop peak surely remains “I Need More”: a prowling, bicep-bearing rocker on which an animated Iggy thirsts for “More venom, more dynamite, more disaster!” 18: Real Wild Child With hindsight, however, the album proffered a clutch of classics, including several songs Iggy co-wrote with bassist/ex- Sex Pistol Glen Matlock. ![]() Iggy retrospectives usually concentrate on the turbulent sessions for 1980’s Soldier (during which a visiting David Bowie reportedly fought with producer James Williamson) rather than the music that went into the can. ![]() It can be the perfect option for a gaming setup or perhaps for those who look forward to a more comfortable workstation.

Livy says nothing more respecting the wars of this king, but Dionysius relates at great length his wars with the Etruscans.Īccording to the latter writer five of the great Etruscan cities sent assistance to the Latins, which proved ineffectual and subsequently all the twelve cities united their forces against Rome, but were overcome by Tarquinius, and compelled to submit to his authority. In this war, also, Tarquinius is said to have vowed the building of the Capitol. The king's son, a youth of fourteen, slew a foe with his own hand, and received as a reward a golden bulla and a robe bordered with purple and these remained in after times the ornaments and dress of youths of noble rank. Several traditions are connected with this war. They ceded to the Romans the town of Collatia, where Tarquinius placed a strong garrison, the command of which he entrusted to Egerius, the son of his deceased brother Aruns, who, with his family, took the surname of Collatinus. They were at first driven back after a doubtful struggle, but were subsequently overthrown with great loss upon the Anio, and compelled to sue for peace. He first destroyed the wealthy town of Apiolae, which belonged to the Sabines, and subsequently took the Latin towns of Cameria, Crustumerium, Medullia, Ameriola, Ficulnea, Corniculum, and Nomentum.īut his most memorable exploit was the defeat of the Sabines, who had advanced up to the very gates of Rome. The history of his wars is related very differently by Livy and Dionysius.Īccording to the former writer lie waged war with the Latins and Sabines with great success. The reign of Tarquinius was distinguished by great exploits in war, and by great works in peace. The former appointed him guardian of his children and, when he died, the senate and the people unanimously elected Tarquinius to the vacant throne. His wealth, his courage, and his wisdom, gained him the love both of Ancus Marcius and of the people. The stranger was received with welcome, and he and his followers were admitted to the rights of Roman citizens. Tanaquil, who was skilled in the Etruscan science of augury, bade her husband hope for the highest honour from this omen. When they had reached the Janiculum and were already within sight of Rome, an eagle seized his cap, and after carrying it away to a great height placed it again upon his head. ![]() He accordingly set out for Rome, riding in a chariot with his wife, and accompanied by a large train of followers. Discontented with this inferior position, and urged on by his wife, he resolved to leave Tarquinii and remove to Rome, where a new eitizen had more chance of obtaining distinction. 1 But, although Lucumo was thus one of the most wealthy persons at Tarquinii, and had married Tanaquil, who belonged to a family of the highest rank, the was excluded, as a Stranger, from all power and influence in the state. The latter died in the lifetime of his father, leaving his wife pregnant but as Demaratus was ignorant of this circumstance, he bequeathed all his property to Lucumo, and died himself shortly afterwards. He married an Etruscan wife, by whom he had two sons, Lucumo and Aruns. He brought great wealth with him, and is said to have been accompanied by the painter Cleophantus, and by Eucheir and Eugrammus, masters of the plastic arts, and likewise to have introduced among the Etruscans the knowledge of alphabetical writing. He settled at Tarquinii in Etruria, where he had mercantile connections, for commerce had not been considered disreputable among the Corinthian nobles. Demaratus, their ancestor, belonged to the noble family of the Bacchiadae at Corinth, and fled from his native city when the power of his order was overthrown by Cypselus. The legend of the Tarquins ran as follows. The table on the following page represents the genealogy of the family according to Livy.
