#modern life v historic values

[53rdcenturyhero]

To be honest, the "Old people are conservative" thing is often about the fact that rich people make it to old age. People with shit medical care don't. There isn't actually a lot of evidence that the same people are liberal in youth and conservative in old age.

Rest assured, big data have this in hand, with their hand in your pocket.

I should clarify that we don't know if Thomas More actually met Elizabeth Shore! While he claimed that he did, David Santiuste has pointed out that More's description of Elizabeth in her later years, "where a 'fallen woman' loses her beauty, echoes familiar tropes in moral literature" at the time. It was very common to find such narratives in Tudor England, such as Robert Henryson's popular poem, Testament of Cresseid. So, while most historians have (unfortunately) taken More's claim at face-value based on that description, it can and should be questioned more than it has been till date.

Also, More's knowledge about Elizabeth's life was distinctly lacking and unreliable* in a way that makes it hard to believe he was getting his information from her. For example, he claimed that she was still married to William Shore in 1483 even though we know she had divorced Shore years ago; he didn't know that Richard III had accused her of having an affair with Thomas Gray despite the very public nature of that accusation; and he either didn't know or deliberately erased the fact that she married Thomas Lynom (and had a child with him) shortly after her penance walk. Instead, More seems to have created a tragic afterlife for her, claiming that she ended her life destitute and friendless, which was...almost definitely untrue (her reality would have been far, far happier). His claim that Richard III accused Elizabeth Shore of witchcraft was also most probably false and invented by More himself: the Great Chronicle never mentions any such thing, Richard's own proclamations against her suggest against the idea, and a textual comparison to Vergil's account (which More directly used as a source for that specific scene) indicates that More seems to have inserted Elizabeth Shore into the accusation that was, historically, only levelled at Elizabeth Woodville**.

In short: We don't know if More truly met Elizabeth Shore; at the very least, his claim should be taken with a grain of salt. But even if More did meet her, or at the very least came across her (which is plausible, as her second husband had a flourishing career under the Tudors and died in the 1510s), his haphazard knowledge of her makes it very unlikely that he could have questioned her about events of her life. Alternatively, if he did question her, he seems to have had no problem massively editing, rewriting or outright inventing several crucial and defining aspects of her life to suit his own narrative convenience. Whatever the case, it's clear that More was not using Elizabeth Shore as a source of information. It's also clear that he demonstrably did not care about historical accuracy where she was concerned*** (his descriptions of her are incredibly self-indulgent and generic) and should not be taken at face-value when talking about her life.

*We don't know if she and Edward IV truly had an affair, or if it was actually long-term & public (both of which are different things, and both of which have no verifiable evidence as of now). But even if they did have some kind of relationship, evidence strongly contradicts the idea that she was a visible figure during his reign - which may explain More's haphazard knowledge of her. Indeed, the author of the Great Chronicle could not even remember her name, merely calling her "a woman named Shore", with a blank space left before her surname. Similarly, the Elizabethans - who derived their knowledge of her entirely from More's account being printed and circulated from the 1540s - seem to have been so unfamiliar with her that they invented a fake name, fake husband (a goldsmith named Matthew) and fake backstory for her. More himself, in addition to his various inaccuracies about her, claims that she had a memorable role at court while simultaneously taking it for granted that his audience will not know who she is (which...does not make sense). He also literally never bothers to mention her name throughout his account; we don't know if he even knew what it was. Compare this to the consistent and matter-of-fact way contemporary and post-contemporary chroniclers spoke of Alice Perrers and Katherine Swynford, or how Rosamund Clifford's name was organically remembered across the centuries. In contrast, the absence of Elizabeth Shore in post-contemporary chronicles, and the ignorance that both More and the Great Chronicle displayed for the most basic elements of her life, cast immense doubt on the idea of her so-called visibility. If she had an affair with Edward IV, we can also conclude other things about their relationship based on current evidence, which may explain why chroniclers had such lacking knowledge of her. For one, she never received any official grants or rewards from Edward throughout his reign, a striking contrast to Alice Perrers and Katherine Swynford who received plenty from their royal lovers during Queen Philippa and Constance of Castile's lives. With the variety of 14th century English and 15th century French & Breton precedents that Edward had at his disposal when it came to rewarding royal mistresses in such a way, we can only conclude that if they were in a relationship, he simply did not want to honour Elizabeth Shore in such a public manner (ie: through patent and Parliament rolls, etc). Nor did Edward ever favor her parents, despite his patronage of so many other London merchants. It's very hard to understand how someone who had so little influence that she was incapable of obtaining grants for herself or her family would somehow have been able to intercede on behalf of others as Thomas More (very generically and romantically) claimed she did. Indeed, Elizabeth is absent from all known cases of intercession during Edward's second reign, and specific examples dispel the idea that she was viewed as a figure of visible influence like Alice and Katherine had been (see: the Merchant Adventurers Company sending desperate appeals to influential figures at court in 1480; Elizabeth Lambert is conspicuously absent from the list). In my opinion, if historians claim that Edward III and John of Gaunt's affairs with Alice and Katherine were "discreet" during Philippa and Constance's lives despite having actual contemporary evidence of their affairs via records and chronicles, then we must necessarily view the (potential, unverified, unknown) relationship between Edward IV and Elizabeth Shore as 10x more discreet considering we have no evidence for it at all. Based on what we know so far, given that post-contemporary chroniclers could not even remember her name, I think this interpretation is only fair.

**Re Elizabeth's role in 1483: another thing I want to clarify is that her arrest and penance walk doesn't seem to have had anything to do with Edward IV - as is commonly assumed - but with William Hastings. Simon Stallworth's contemporary letter, written on 21st June, makes it clear that Elizabeth was imprisoned shortly after Hastings' execution. The Great Chronicle likewise emphasizes that she was punished for her affair with Hastings (which mirrors how Richard used her to disparage Thomas Gray, and suggests that he was using the same tactic here to vilify Hastings) without ever linking her to Edward IV. Also, the idea of her being a messenger between Elizabeth Woodville and Hastings is simply not true: it is a modern fantasy theory that has been irresponsibly accepted by historians as a fact. It has no basis in history (it's highly improbable that Elizabeth Woodville and Hastings were in an alliance) and no chronicle, including More, claimed Richard accused her of this.

***In general, Thomas More is very unreliable when it comes to Edward IV's life - specifically his love life - as well. Apart from his false claim that he died at the age of 53 (???), More seems to have invented a page-long fictional story about Edward's alleged pre-contract, claiming that it was actually with Elizabeth Lucy who had once been summoned by his mother to court to try and deter him from marrying Elizabeth Woodville (we know that the pre-contract was with Eleanor Talbot, there is no record of a woman named "Elizabeth Lucy" even existing at the time, and there is no evidence of Edward's council or his mother doing any such thing). Additionally, More claimed that Edward IV discussed his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville with his courtiers before he married her, which is obviously not true. He also claimed that Edward had three long-term mistresses, which is explicitly contradicted by other chroniclers like Dominic Mancini, who arrived in England at the end of Edward's life and clearly states that he was known for having very short-term sexual affairs; it's very hard to understand how Mancini could have gotten such a radically different impression from courtiers and local Londoners if a long-term public mistress like Elizabeth Shore existed at that time. For that matter, the claim is also contradicted by Thomas More himself, who implies that Edward's affairs stopped in his last years ("in his youth given to fleshy wantonness...in his latter days, it lessened and well left"). I'm really not sure how we can reconcile that with what More claims about Elizabeth Lambert. Interestingly enough, More's claim that Edward may have eventually stopped having affairs is actually supported another independent chronicler, Habington, who wrote that "Even from [lust] which was reputed his bofome finn, toward the later end of his life, he was [somewhat] cleare: either [conscience] reforming him, or by continuall faciete growne to a loathing of it". Of course, we don't know if this is true or not, but whatever the case, the point is that More's claims re Edward's love life are ... really not reliable. On the contrary, he has displayed a pretty stellar record of invention, exaggeration and general inconsistency. His claims re Ellizabeth Shore cannot be taken at face-value and should be questioned & doubted far more than they are.

(Of course, this isn't to argue that everything More claimed about Elizabeth was an outright invention. This isn't true at all: he clearly did know some pretty important things about her. But when it comes to the existence and nature of her alleged affair with Edward IV...we just don't know. More could have been making it up; he could have been telling the truth; he could have been narrating what he believed was the truth; he could have been basing his account on a grain of truth while exaggerating/constructing the rest (in my opinion, the last one makes the most sense and fits best with what we know so far). What I'm trying to say is that More's claims regarding their alleged affair are not verifiable and reliable, and his claims regarding the nature of that affair can be contradicted by actual evidence and other sources, including More's own account. All in all - like you said, he can't be used uncritically as a source when it comes to her.

What is your opinion on Elizabeth Lambert? Does she have any unknown related knowledge?

I find her very interesting, particularly with the way her story parallels Alice Perrers and Eleanor Cobham, and I find her a very sympathetic figure. I don't know too much about her since the end of the Wars of the Roses isn't one of "my" periods and the thought of sorting through the Ricardians from the Ricardian-influenced to the Tudorites to find decent information about them just makes me go "no" and give up.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by your second question. We don't know a lot about her since the lives of mistresses aren't very well documented, particularly ones not of aristocratic birth. In addition, a lot of what we know about Elizabeth comes from Thomas More. He did claim to have met her but More can't be used uncritically as a source. The best coverage of Elizabeth's life, afaik, N. Barker's article, 'The real Jane Shore’ in Etoniana, 125 (1972) and 126 (1972). I've not read them myself but I believe Barker was the scholar who discovered "Jane Shore" was in fact Elizabeth Lambert.

House Republicans may be relieved that they finally have a Speaker after 22 days of infighting. But the rest of the country should worry that there's a far right extremist second in line to the presidency. "MAGA Mike" Johnson is even more extreme than Trump on some issues.

Election denier, climate skeptic, anti-abortion: seven beliefs of new US House speaker Mike Johnson

He tried to overturn the 2020 election In the modern Republican party, supporting Donald Trump’s lie about voter fraud in his defeat by Joe Biden is hardly an outlandish position. But Johnson took it further. After the election, he voiced support for Trump’s conspiracy theory that voting machines were rigged. Later, he was one of 147 Republicans to object to results in key states, even after a pro-Trump mob attacked Congress on January 6, a riot now linked to nine deaths and hundreds of convictions. [ ... ] He was a spokesperson for a ‘hate group’ Before entering politics, Johnson worked for the Alliance Defending Freedom – designated a hate group by the Southern Law Poverty Center, which tracks US extremists. According to the SPLC, the ADF has “supported the recriminalisation of sexual acts between consenting LGBTQ+ adults in the US and criminalisation abroad; defended state-sanctioned sterilisation of trans people abroad; contended that LGBTQ+ people are more likely to engage in paedophilia; and claimed that a ‘homosexual agenda’ will destroy Christianity and society”. [ ... ] He opposes LGBTQ+ rights In state politics and at the national level, Johnson has worked to claw back gains made by LGBTQ+ Americans in their fight for equality. In 2016, as he ran for Congress, he told the Louisiana Baptist Message he had “been out on the front lines of the ‘culture war’ defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life and biblical values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals like these when they’ve been under assault”. He has since led efforts for a national “don’t say gay” bill, regarding the teaching of LGBTQ+ issues in schools, and is also opposed to gender-affirming care for children. On Wednesday, Rev Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, executive director of the Campaign for Southern Equality, said: “Johnson has made a career out of attacking the LGBTQ+ community at every turn." His positions are out of touch with the clear majority support for LGBTQ+ equality in our country. His new leadership role is just further proof of the dangerous priorities of the GOP and the critical stakes for our democracy – and for LGBTQ+ Americans – in 2024.” [ ... ] He is stringently anti-abortion Johnson has maintained a relatively low profile in Congress but when last year the supreme court removed the right to abortion, Johnson celebrated “a historic and joyful day”. Though Dobbs v Jackson returned abortion rights to the states, Johnson has co-sponsored bills for a nationwide ban. And as he neared his position of power, footage spread of striking remarks in a House hearing. “Roe v Wade did constitutional cover to the elective killing of unborn children in America, period,” Johnson said. [ ... ] He wants to cut social security and Medicare As those comments indicate, Johnson wants to cut programs on which millions rely. Such cuts are widely regarded as a political third-rail – Trump has used the issue to attack Republican presidential rivals, saying only he will defend such benefits – but Johnson is far from alone in wanting to swing the axe. He is an advocate for ‘covenant marriage’ When he married his wife, Kelly, in 1999, the couple agreed to a “covenant” marriage: a conservative Christian idea that makes it harder to divorce. The Johnsons promoted the idea on ABC’s Good Morning America. [ ... ] He is a climate skeptic In 2017, Johnson told voters in his oil-rich home state: “The climate is changing, but the question is, is it being caused by natural cycles over the span of the Earth’s history? Or is it changing because we drive SUVs? I don’t believe in the latter. I don’t think that’s the primary driver.”

You'd really have to try hard to find somebody worse than MAGA Mike. But we're not without the power of the vote; we need to use that power every chance we get.

November 7th is Election Day in many parts of the US. Most notably...

Ohio's statewide ballot measure to restore reproductive freedom by placing a woman's right to choose in the Ohio Constitution. A YES vote on Issue 1 takes abortion out of the hands of the gerrymandered GOP legislature.

Kentucky's Democratic governor is up for re-election.

The Virginia legislature is up for election. If Republicans gain control of both chambers they will try to ban abortion; reproductive tyranny is part of the GOP agenda whenever they hold a trifecta in a state. There's also a special election to fill a vacancy for a US House seat in VA-04.

The state legislature in New Jersey is up for election.

There are judicial elections in Pennsylvania including for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. There's also a special election to fill a vacancy in the Penn House of Representatives which is currently tied 101 Democrats – 101 Republicans.

All state offices in Mississippi including governor and legislature are up for election. Surprisingly, polls show the GOP incumbent governor ahead by just 1% with 10% undecided.

Like Mississippi, all state offices in Louisiana are up for election.

Rhode Island has a special election to fill a vacancy for a US House seat in RI-01.

^^^ Those are just the highlights. There are elections of some sort in most states on November 7th.

Republicans may grumble at times, but they always turn out for elections. They have a disproportionate amount of power in the US because they vote while many of their liberal neighbors stay home or become too ideologically persnickety.

Allegedly "moderate" GOP House members ultimately fell in line and unanimously backed a far right Speaker.

Elections at all levels count. Speaker "MAGA Mike" Johnson got his start in politics in the Louisiana legislature. He is now the highest ranking GOP elected official in the US.

There's no such thing as an unimportant election. Vote in the November 7th election and actively encourage like-minded friends, family, and neighbors to do so as well.

Silly question because I was scrolling through your Tumblr blog and really wanted to ask something but nothing came to mind except L and L looking different because Reasons TM.

We have L the rich family heir in the current Time Speaks arc. He's got a Family Approved TM makeover.

But what if Light was given a chance to give L a makeover? How would this new and visually improved L be?

Also how long do you think before L takes back makeover privileges and gets back to his usual? I bet an hour, max lmao.

So I thought about this for a minute lol

The thing about Light is, I actually don't think he spends as much time on his appearance or on appearance in general as some fanon implies. Yes, he's put together and looks good, but most of that is just a clean haircut and his natural face. Light is just good-looking on his own hahahahaha, and he uses that against people as part of his repertoire of tactics. Personally tho I think he relies on the "upstanding member of society" shtick much more than his looks, despite how I personally like to comment on his face in my story.

Why did I ramble about this here, you may ask? Because I actually don't see Light as giving L a makeover or even thinking about it much, based simply on what Light finds value in or has an interest in. At best I think he'd buy L a nice suit, or at the very least some fitting clothes, and give him a haircut, but nothing more than that. This would be a special occasion with other people involved, and so L would give in since he'd see it as important enough to submit until the end of whatever occasion it is. But in daily life or a makeover just for fun? I don't think Light would do it. Their weird sexual tension is 90% cerebral, and while Light uses society's proceptions against them, I don't think he takes them seriously himself. He's an actor on a stage wearing a costume, which is also why I think he's got so may clothes, and so many "fit the situation" clothing as we see. But beyond that, he doesn't care what others look like, and certainly doesn't care about L's looks beyond that one time he called him a weirdo when they met.

Also I don't think Light knows a thing about makeup (remaining purposefully ignorant, despite Misa's attempts), but also he's possessive and wouldn't want L to look too good to other people. So even less inclination to give him a makeover lol. But he does, personally, admire what L looked like with slicked-back hair when he has the chance to see it, as in that one fan art of them in the tub I've saved. >v>

Sorry if that's not the answer you were hoping for, it was still a fun one for me to think about!

(Now, if you'd asked about Misa giving L a makeover, that's a whole other story; she would sit him down and keep him there as her doll (hah) for as long as she possibly could, and he would actually just give in cause why not, he's bored, let's see what Misa can do. And she'd go in full, she'd dress him in all types of styles and genres, from historical to modern to goth, and even go into cosplay a bit, with full makeup and accessories. She would splurge on this cause his frame would make him perfect for some anime cosplay. There would be photoshoots, face artfully averted of course, and they'd be popular online. This would include male and female outfits btw. And L would have fun, even tho he didn't expect that he would, he finds it interesting. While Light would watch from the sidelines with an annoyed look on his face (he's not fooling anyone, he's there for every shoot). L, in contrast to Light, would actually listen to Misa and learn about a full makeup and hair care routine. He'd never employ that knowledge personally, but he'd remember it even if just to bring up to Light randomly like "Light-kun could do with some moisturizing sunscreen and leave-in conditioner, you're looking a bit sun damaged" "What?" lmao.)

So, yeah! ^v^

[9w1ft]

Thank you for your answer! Yup, a good chunk of people have a tendency to oversimplify things or take them at face value from my personal observations.

Red scarf = she compared it to her innocence = she's young = omg, it must be a metaphor for her V card!!! Let's ask Taylor about that theory and ignore that she gifts a red scarf to the bride in the IBYTAM m/v!!!

Bad Blood = is about her feud with Katy Perry over some back up dancers!!! Ignore the fact that the phrase "mad love" was used in romantic context in other songs in the same album!!

So I guess I can see why people may be inclined to think we're basically saying "Taylor and Karlie are together because they've carried the same bag this month!" and simply ignore all nuance or not ask why these information are being shown to us in this manner given how Taylor operates in a careful and strategic way ... like a Mastermind, if you will.

But I guess calling Karlie "poor" for "sitting in the nosebleeds" is much more fun 🤷‍♀️

thank you for your follow up!

yeah i’m not that great at explaining it but i’m glad we got on the same page!

i think the reason why things are simplified is one thing i have always found interesting about taylor and a lot of her core fans that grew up with her music

its that she in a sense raised them to be on alert to her easter eggs, and made this a part of her persona, but she did so while her fans were also firming very personal and real bonds with taylor in their minds, to the point that the easter egging became melded into the big ball of feelings a lot of people harbor for their image of taylor swift which is an extension of their own identities. the patterns which a lot of us have come to see as PR are also core easter egging memories for a lot of fans, growing up with taylor, and represent a sense of comfort and culture.

which is a wordy way of saying that, any suggestion that taylor does the things she does for reasons either than what they experienced.. it can feel like a personal attack.

what’s so fascinating or beautiful about all this to me is that—and i think this is a common tension of our times—when you go to look at things objectively or try to deconstruct institutions or concepts or biases or modernity.. it can come off clinical and cold and cynical to a lot of people, you know? sort of… ruining ‘nice’ things, right?

but the thing is, when you do this with taylor you instead open up a whole fascinating and lush world of true love and pain, deep stories and fascinating people, actual secrecy and high stakes, that feels incredibly historic and full of meaning. like i can’t tell you how much coming upon gaylor but also kaylor specifically in all its complexities and intricacies has made me feel so much more present in my life and grateful to be alive and to experience the world.. to be more introspectful and to grow.. there’s something so moving and… epic… epoch-ful… about their story. i’m not sure how self aware taylor was when writing timeless but my god, it’s exactly what it is.

so while i definitely understand the mechanics of how some of her core fans instinctively push away thinking critically about taylor, i don’t think i will ever stop feeling like i want to share it to more people because it’s like… if you can break through.. it’s so fucking beautiful 😭😭😭

Astro-Inspiration for March 23, 2023 ~ A Big Day!!!

Pluto, the slow-moving planet of death and rebirth, leaves Capricorn for futuristic and revolutionary Aquarius today... for a preview of the coming decades. Pluto moved into Capricorn in 2008, the year that will go down in history as one of the worst financial crises America has ever faced. It’s interesting and significant to note that the bookend of Pluto’s entry into Capricorn is bank failures – echoing what happened in 2008. Pluto will go back and forth between the last few degrees of Capricorn and the first few degrees of Aquarius for the next two years.

Pluto will be in Aquarius from:

• March 23rd to June 11, 2023 

• January 20th to September 1st, 2024 

• November 18, 2024, to January 18, 2044

As Pluto moves back and forth between Capricorn and Aquarius, let’s hope practical application meets intellect and innovative vision. What will the next 20 years bring? There will likely be Worldwide changes in science and technology (AI and ChatGPT have served as an introduction to the perils of Pluto in Aquarius), but, more importantly, we’ll see profound shifts in civil rights and humanitarianism. 

The most powerful people will be those who work together and who value the lives, feelings, and experiences of others. We can also hope that governments and systems that have worked against each other in the past can find common ground during this time and forge a united alliance for the care and protection of our planet.

The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798. Historical events that happened during that time: The North American colonies and Great Britain fought the War of Independence from 1775 to 1783. Uranus the modern ruler of Aquarius, was discovered in 1781. The French Revolution began in 1789. The Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. The Reign of Terror started in 1793.

Today’s Quote

Rabat, Modern Capital & Historic City

Today, we’re setting our sights on Rabat, the charming Moroccan capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2012. Known for its historic architecture, vibrant medina, and laid-back coastal vibe, Rabat is a blend of ancient and modern, giving it a unique charm that stands out among Morocco's imperial cities.

Rabat has a history dating back to the 12th century, when the Almohad dynasty built its iconic walls and fortress. Yet Rabat today is a city of contrasts, seamlessly merging its ancient past with its modern status as Morocco’s capital. As you stroll its wide boulevards, you’ll see a delightful blend of medieval structures, colonial influences, and sleek government buildings—all in one place.

One of Rabat’s must-see sites is the Kasbah of the Udayas. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Bou Regreg River, this fortified area with white and blue-painted alleys feels almost like a village within the city. The kasbah dates back to the Almohad period, and wandering through its quiet lanes and gardens is like stepping back in time. For the best views, head up to the Andalusian Gardens for a stunning panorama of the Atlantic coastline!

Rabat’s most iconic monument is the Hassan Tower. Originally commissioned by Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour in the 12th century, the minaret was meant to be part of what would have been the world’s largest mosque. Although the mosque was never completed, the Hassan Tower stands as a majestic reminder of this grand vision. The reddish sandstone tower, paired with the nearby Mausoleum of Mohammed V, is a beautiful example of Moroccan craftsmanship and reverence.

The Chellah is one of Rabat’s most fascinating historical sites. This ancient necropolis was originally a Roman settlement, later transformed into an Islamic burial ground by the Merenids in the 13th century. With crumbling walls, wildflowers, and stork nests high atop ruined minarets, the Chellah has a mysterious, almost ethereal beauty. Walking through the remains of Roman arches and Islamic tombs, you feel connected to layers upon layers of history.

As the nation’s capital, Rabat is also home to modern art galleries, theaters, and cafes. The Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art offers an insightful glimpse into Morocco’s vibrant art scene, while the nearby government buildings and embassies showcase a more modern and political side of the city. Strolling along Avenue Mohammed V, you’ll see Rabat’s present merging seamlessly with its rich past.

Rabat’s medina has a different feel compared to the bustling souks of Marrakech or Fes. The pace here is slower, with craft shops, bakeries, and small cafes around every corner. The medina’s architecture is simpler but filled with character, and it’s an ideal place to experience local life and pick up some handcrafted souvenirs. Don’t forget to try some Moroccan street food, like chebakia (honey-coated pastries) or fresh mint tea!

Rabat’s UNESCO designation celebrates its unique fusion of Islamic, Berber, and European influences.

Teach Roman Numerals Easily with TotalCalculators Online Conversion Tool

Roman numerals have fascinated students for generations with their distinctive symbols and historical roots, but learning them can sometimes be challenging. Fortunately, the Total Calculators Online Roman Numeral Conversion Tool is here to make the process simple and fun. Whether you’re a teacher, a parent, or a curious learner, our tool is the perfect aid for mastering Roman numerals in no time!

Why Learn Roman Numerals?

Roman numerals are a bridge to history, connecting modern learners with the ancient world. They appear on clock faces, in the names of monarchs and Popes, and even in movie titles. Learning Roman numerals not only strengthens historical knowledge but also boosts mathematical understanding by introducing a new numbering system. For younger students, they provide an engaging, hands-on way to think about numbers differently, while older students can appreciate the cultural significance of this ancient system.

The Challenges of Teaching Roman Numerals

Teaching Roman numerals can be tricky for a few reasons. Unlike the decimal system we use daily, Roman numerals rely on symbols for values (like I for 1, V for 5, and X for 10) and require a combination of addition and subtraction rules. Understanding when to subtract and when to add can be confusing at first, especially for young learners. That’s where the Total Calculators Online Converter can help, offering a clear and accurate way to practice conversions.

How the Total Calculators Roman Numeral Tool Helps Educators

Our tool is designed to support educators by simplifying the Roman numeral learning process. With just a few clicks, students can input numbers and see them instantly converted to Roman numerals, and vice versa. This allows teachers to focus on the principles behind the system rather than manually converting numbers. Here are some ways educators can use this tool in their classrooms:

Interactive Learning: Make lessons interactive by allowing students to use the converter directly. They can try converting important historical dates, like the founding of Rome or the year they were born, and see these dates come to life in Roman numerals.

Homework Helper: Assigning Roman numeral exercises? Encourage students to use the tool to check their answers and better understand their conversions.

Instant Feedback: Immediate feedback is essential for learning. With the converter, students can instantly see the correct Roman numeral equivalent for their input, reinforcing the patterns in the system.

Self-Guided Learning for Students

For students studying independently, the Total Calculators Online Conversion Tool is easy to use and accessible on any device. It allows them to practice Roman numeral conversions without needing to memorize rules or look up charts. By seeing the results in real-time, students can develop a natural feel for Roman numerals and learn at their own pace. The converter is particularly helpful for:

Preparing for Tests: Students can use the tool to review and test themselves, converting numbers back and forth to ensure they’re ready for exams.

Project Assistance: Roman numerals are commonly used in history and math projects. This tool allows students to quickly convert numbers, freeing up time to focus on the creative and analytical aspects of their projects.

Fun Activities with Roman Numerals

Roman numerals can be incorporated into fun classroom activities with the help of the TotalCalculators tool. Here are a few ideas:

Birthday Conversion: Have each student convert their birthday to Roman numerals. It’s a personalized activity that helps them understand how to apply the system to real-life dates.

Roman Numeral Bingo: Play a game where students use the converter to generate random Roman numerals and mark them on a bingo card. It’s a fun way to reinforce numeral recognition.

Create Your Code: Students can create “codes” by converting words or phrases into numbers, then using Roman numerals to "encode" them. This allows them to practice conversions in a creative context.

Start Teaching Roman Numerals the Easy Way with TotalCalculators

The TotalCalculators Online Roman Numeral Conversion Tool offers a stress-free solution for teaching and learning Roman numerals. Its easy-to-use interface allows anyone to convert numbers instantly, helping learners understand the basics of this ancient numbering system.

Week 5:

Note* I am currently housebound and wasn't able to actually go to the monument and take pictures

1.) The statue's placement is indeed essential. It is in a lovely, hectic park environment, and the surrounding neighborhood bears links to Eleanor Roosevelt's legacy. She spent her time in New York, living adjacent to East 74th Street. Though it is not in the most tourist-heavy area of the city, its proximity represents her personal history. It lets guests interact with the monument in natural, calm surroundings. But it might not draw as much attention as monuments in locations like Central Park, restricting its exposure to mostly residents and those already aware of her importance.

2.) The piece honors Eleanor Roosevelt, a powerful first lady, diplomat, and human rights activist. Her enormous contribution to forming women's rights, human rights, and UN work helped her to be selected. The sculpture depicts her seated and reflective posture, reflecting her intelligent and deliberate character as well as her public servant and intellectual force function. Representing a person who supported social justice concerns all her life, this monument honors her legacy of compassion, activity, and leadership.

3.) Penelope Jencks, an American sculptor noted for public monument creation, is the creator of this work. Though she is not as globally known as some other modern sculptors, she is highly appreciated for her public works. Other noteworthy works by Jencks include the Henry David Thoreau monument at Walden Pond, Massachusetts. Although her work is notable in American public art, she might not be as often displayed in important worldwide collections. Still, her contributions to art history—especially in memorial sculpture—are acknowledged here in the United States.

4.) Monuments have numerous purposes. They preserve the remembrance of people or events that molded civilization and physically reflect history and values. By reminding people of critical historical events or persons that should not be forgotten, monuments help shape public consciousness, education, and cultural legacy. They give communities continuity and identity by igniting conversation about the past, present, and future. Monuments provide venues for people to gather to honor common heritage and inspire and challenge thought.

5.) Should I erect a monument, I could decide to pay tribute to young activists—more significantly, those engaged in climate action—such as the plaintiffs in the Juliana v. United States or Held v. Montana cases. These young leaders reflect the future, and their struggle for climate justice is a vital concern of ours now.

6.) To symbolize environmental stewardship, the dynamic design can show an abstract group of young children clutching symbolic objects like leaves, water, or solar panels. It stresses togetherness and hope, highlighting young people's combined strength. It would be located in front of an environmental research facility or on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., a somewhat conspicuous spot. This arrangement would highlight their cause's significance and encourage more respect for their labor among the next generations.

Judges 20: 4-7. "The Zaa."‎

The Judges are one of the more recent Judaic texts. Far from modern, but even still they discuss the problem with Zionism. Zionism is supposed to be universal. Human beings are supposed to live in the same enlightened way no matter where in the world they are found. Zionism is at risk because a bunch of self appointed, self-entitled very severely retarded people have not read the Torah, the Gospels or the Quran and have decided to blame Jewish people and the land of Israel for all of their insoucciant troubles.

All of these documents pinpoint the preeminence of the Jew and his duty to ensure every land is a free land and has all that it needs to fulfill the purposes a freedom loving humanity discovers for itself. Nowhere can mistreatment of the Jew or resettlement outside his homeland can the words be found in any scripture ever written on this planet since the dawn of time.

So the thrust of this next tract is, now that we know that, what are we going to do to speak up, to press humanity do what is historically correct and also proper for the circumstances?

We do what we were told by God like we are supposed to do:

In the Bible, Acts 2:1-47 describes the events that took place on Pentecost, when God-fearing Jews from all over the world were in Jerusalem and believers were meeting together:

A sound like a strong wind fills the house

Tongues of fire appear and settle on each person

Everyone is filled with the Holy Spirit and begins speaking in other languages

The crowd is bewildered because each person hears them speaking in their native language

Peter stands up with the Eleven and addresses the crowd

The people are moved and ask Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" 

4 So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, said, “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night. 

5 During the night the men of Gibeah came after me and surrounded the house, intending to kill me. They raped my concubine, and she died. 

6 I took my concubine, cut her into pieces and sent one piece to each region of Israel’s inheritance, because they committed this lewd and outrageous act in Israel. 

7 Now, all you Israelites, speak up and tell me what you have decided to do.”

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 4: Levites pressure man to seek the most elusive truths only a thorough education can reveal. We depend on every bit of knowledge ever discovered by mankind and those yet to come. The Torah says we live in periods of night and day as this process goes forward.

Except recently, retards have been granted power over this world and the nights are getting longer and the days are getting hotter.

The Number is 5711, הזאא‎ ‎ ‎"hazar to this one, the Zaa." = return to the world's religions in order to rename the Messianic tendencies God and Shiva and Allah said we must all possess if we are to fuflfill our duties to Him.

He has been called many names but the penultimate reality of His True Existence cannot be denied, He is the Tongue of Fire come from heaven to create harmony and unity in man.

God told the Jewish people to ensure this fact did not get lost inside all the stories, statues, languages, cultures and traditions. There is no way to deny the true power of the Holy One of Israel is found through their intuition. Without it, humanity has no real basis.

Even the Christ said the words of Moses contained the founding principals of existence and they must be fulfilled.

v. 5: During the night they came after me. The Number is ד‎הגו‎, d hago, "postpone the return to work as long as possible."

The connection between the rape and murder of a concubine and the onset of a long lasting holiday is oblique. Religion is the means to an end. It is utterly unsatisfying to live, breathe, discuss, and legislate life according to the tenets of religion. Secular life is the best.

v. 6: I took my concubine, cut her into pieces and sent one piece to each region of Israel’s inheritance, because they committed this lewd and outrageous act in Israel. = they were too religious during Shabbat.

I learned all I could from religion and then I told the rest of the world about Shabbat and moved on with my normal, regular life.

In the Torah, God tells even the Kohen priests they must sacrifice their service to the people temporarily to the living of a real life.

From Acherai Mot:

23 “Then Aaron is to go into the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments he put on before he entered the Most Holy Place, and he is to leave them there. 24 He shall bathe himself with water in the sanctuary area and put on his regular garments."

The Number is 6706, ו‎זאֶפֶסו‎‎, and zefeso, "they climbed up."

v. 7: "Now, all you Israelites, speak up and tell me what you have decided to do.”

It is time to stop all persecution of the Jew and the Muslim, and gay people and black people and poor people and speak up, to the letters of the Law God gave Moses and assist in the creation of a habitable planet where for the most part, everyone who is born and placed here has a chance to be as happy as possible for so long as they shall live.

The Torah and verified history state the Jewish people originated in the land of Israel it is theirs. It belongs to them, it was given to them., all of it including the Holy Land. They must therefore constitute together, and govern one another properly, and this includes killing every last person who has infracted against them. This approach alone will protect Israel for all generations to come who must know the peace and justice of the God of Israel are real.

The Number is 5352, ה‎גה‎ב‎, gahab, "take control of the steering wheel."

I can't say it enough. Kill the Mormons and Evangelicals who have caused this world to tremor in fear of them instead of God. They have to die for this. They must not have homes, money, medicine, food, they must not have children or a future. They have made gods of themselves and for this, they have to be dissolved.
