...shelters of sub-tropical Arnhem Land hold an abundance of varied and skillfully executed examples of rock art. The two most general pictograph styles in Arnhem Land are the X-ray and Dynamic (sometimes called Mimi) paintings. Both tend to be basically naturalistic, yet their differences in form and subject matter are striking. The Dynamic style is generally simpler in design than the X-ray art, yet its elegance is remarkable. The anthropomorphs depicted in the Dynamic art are Mimi spirit people, the beings responsible for teaching the Aborigines to paint....

...“God bless the United States of America,” being a person of faith—especially of Protestant Christian faith—was almost synonymous with being a patriot. The 21st century is proving to be very different from the 20th in that regard, however. After years of exceptionally high levels of religious adherence and identity, the latter part of the 20th century saw the start of a trend: increasing numbers of Americans reported they had no religious affiliation when asked by pollsters. Those without a religious identification are now the second largest so-called...

While modernization had occurred all through the 19th and 20th centuries , the 1960s were a time when an older cultural regime that no longer fitted society was...

Luther also opposed the decision of Lateran Council V, confirmed by Pope Leo X in 1515 , to permit the Mounts of Piety ( Monte di Pièta ) to charge reasonable interest on loans. Luther kept himself conservatively to the old practice of established economic values, including the ban on interest. In the same vein he rejected Jewish banking, which had become a...
