Thanks a lot, ancient Babylonians. If the claims are correct, the tablet would “not only be the oldest known trigonometric table, but it would also be the ‘world’s only completely accurate trigonometric table.'”

Netflix, But For Movie Theatres
365 days of movies for $9.95 a month? What? AMC is not OK with this, arguing that it will hurt movie theatres, movie studios, and even, perhaps, MoviePass itself. AMC: “From what we can tell, by definition and absent some other form of other compensation, MoviePass will be losing money on every subscriber seeing two movies or more in a month.” (But will subscribers, who are signing up in droves, care?)
Netflix, But For Live Theatre
Pay $20 a month, and get unlimited access to any offerings from a theatre? Um, OK. And if you
liked a play, you could see it more than once. (Maybe.) “Unlike a yearly subscription, which includes one showing of each play, a B-Flex pass could be used unlimited times – the incentive being that it gains value the more it’s used. B-Flex members do not have guaranteed seats, so its use would be contingent on availability.”
How To Make Anti-Western Propaganda Using That Most Western Of Tools, The Rap Video
“Death to American” chants aren’t working, so it’s time for “Rapping with Sailors.” Seriously. “Iranian clerics have long insisted that rap music is the devil’s work, but they had no complaints when Amir Tataloo, a rapper with a hard-partying, gangster-style reputation, turned into a nationalistic admirer of Iran’s military effort in the Persian Gulf.”
Can Wales Figure Out How To Fund Its Arts (And Artists)?
The country would like to figure out how to raise more private funds – and how to help arts organizations do the same.
Bill Nye Files 37 Million Dollar Lawsuit Against Disney For Those ‘The Science Guy’ Videos
Disney did what? Nye says “he was deprived of $9 million in profits from his show, ‘Bill Nye the Science Guy,’ which originally ran from 1993 to 1998 on PBS.” Disney, of course, says that’s malarkey.
Breaking Down How Creativity Works
“Fundamentally, neurons connect when they are stimulated together. A schema is a set of related concepts that define a mental object. When any of the sub-concepts in the schema arise in the mind as a result of external stimuli, the associated neurons fire, and cause some firing of connected neurons. So, if you read, ‘large, gray, mammal, trunk, tusk’, your brain is primed to fire ‘elephant,’ and many other ideas associated with an elephant. I’m oversimplifying, but you get the idea. One interesting consequence of all this is the associative rut, which is when your mind gets stuck in some area of mental space because all of the concepts lead to one another in a circular way.”
Top Visual Artists See New Possibilities In The Opera House
Artists, on the other hand, can benefit from the backing of a deep-pocketed establishment to make vast artistic productions that revolutionize not only how an audience responds to an opera, but how they respond to the art. The music, libretto, and elaborate trappings of the opera house provide the armature on which a total artwork can be created. Now it’s just a question of getting the right audience in the seats to witness it.
Philadelphia’s Mann Center Aspires To Be More Than A Place
Can the Mann be something more? A summer venue can dream, and the Mann is having some ambitious visions. Several trends are converging. Commercial music presenters have come into the Philadelphia market in a big way, giving the Mann some competition. At the same time, arts education has become a bigger priority for arts groups and funders, and the Mann, sitting in the middle of a neighborhood, is beginning to imagine becoming a bigger player in education, perhaps even morphing into an urban Tanglewood, with a resident professional orchestra atop a pyramid of training ensembles and master classes.
So Trump Is Skipping The Kennedy Center Honors. Does This Make A Difference?
Phil Kennicott: “The big question looming over the awards now is whether future presidents will attend. Can a tradition be reassembled after it has been broken? The arts occupy an already marginal position in American society, and the custom of presidential participation in the Honors has always been an anomaly, given the priorities of American cultural life and a decades-long rhetorical assault against the arts by conservative politicians. If a future president needs an excuse to forego the evening, he or she now has one ready. If Trump lasts in office, and skips the Honors the next four years, the tradition may be effectively scuttled.”
