Greenstone's definition of civilization, adapted from Wikipeida "A civilized society is often characterized by advanced agriculture, long-distance trade, specialization and division of labor, and urbanism. Aside from these core elements, civilization is often marked by any **combination** of a number of secondary elements, including roads, writing and/or record keeping, standards of measurement (currency, etc.), a legal system,monumental architecture, mathematics, crafts such as pottery and weaving, sophisticated metallurgy and astronomy."

Captain Geselbracht mentioned the book [|Three Cups of Tea. Here is a very interesting article]about how the army has used, and possibly misused that book.

Here's a very sad bit of news. [|The director of Restrepo was killed]on April 19th in Libya, while filming a battle in the Libyan Civil War. [|Animated WWI Map]

> Shakespeare is perhaps the perfect expression of Renaissance humanism. His profound sympathy for humanity enabled him to pierce to the very core of his characters; his unexcelled gifts as a poet made his men and women unforgettable creatures of flesh and blood. This may be said as much of the best of his earliest plays as of //The Tempest//, where Prospero is himself a kind of incarnation of the best of what the Renaissance had extended to mankind. (Grebanier, Bernard D., et al. //English Literature and Its Backgrounds.// New York: Holt, 1950, page 242) > **Player Queen:** > Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife, > If once I be a widow, ever I be a wife! > **Player King:** > 'Tis deeply sworn. Sweet, leave me here a while, > My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile > The tedious day with sleep. > **Player Queen:** > Sleep rock thy brain, > And never come mischance between us twain! > **Hamlet:** > Madam, how like you this play? > **Queen:** > The lady doth protest too much, methinks. > [|Hamlet Act 3, scene 2, 222–230]
