When Heinrich's mother died, he no longer felt he had an obligation to his religion, thus helping him in ... the other universities. While at Berlin, Marx became part of the group known as the Yong Hegelians. The group was organized in part due to the philosophy teacher Hegel that taught from 1818 to his death.

- 1582: Hockey
- ... blade cannot exceed 121/2 inches. The administration of ice hockey penalties makes the game one of the few sports in which a team is deprived of a player after a transgression. The most prevalent penalty is the two-minute minor, which is assessed for such transgressions as holding, tripping, charging, elbowing, hooking, slashing, and interference. When a referee spots such an infraction, he will whistle the offender off the ice and send him to a penalty box or bench where the player sits during the time of his infraction. Penalties made by a goalie are served by a teammate. The player's team may not replace him on the ice, and until his time has expired he may only leave the penalty box when his club, while shorthanded, is scored against. When a player is charged with a major penalty, he must serve the full time (five minutes), no matter how often his club is scored ...

- 1584: Computers: Nonverbal Communications
- ... his or her mastery of combat, spell casting, or other skills. There are risks, of course, in such valorous activity. Every time a character enters into combat with a foe, there exists a chance of death. The severity of players' deaths varies from MUD to MUD. On some MUDs, characters may simply lose the treasures they have amassed during their session. On others, significant reductions in a character's quantified skill levels may occur, while on a few MUDs, death is quite realistic and harsh - the character is simply erased. Death is not a random occurrence on well-tuned adventure MUDs. Each character is a quantifiable distance from death at any given moment, often referred to as "hit points". Every time s/he is struck ...

His La Vita Nuova is a collection of poems and prose commentary inspired by Beatrice and collected after her death in 1290. Dante's love, however, was unrequited, as he himself says in a conversation with a lady recounted in La Vita Nuova: "What purpose have you in loving this lady, when you cannot bear ... his conduct with another woman" (Ibid.). We can imagine how profound a role Dante's almost fanatical obsession played in his writings. As much as an effect her life had upon Dante's, Beatrice's death may have been an even greater effect upon his literary endeavors. In the last chapter of the Vita Nuova, Dante determines to write about Beatrice "that which has never been written of any other woman ... Dante's poetic conversion, we must first look at what life events had taken place that may have changed his outlook. Before beginning his Divine Comedy, Dante suffered several set backs in his life.

Dante, while not becoming disillusioned with the Catholic Church as an ...

King Lear, yet another Shakespearean character that goes mad, also dies at the end of his play, however, he differs from Lady MacBeth and Ophelia in that it is heartbreak that causes his death, rather than suicide.

Our self-centered thought patterns, established and hardened over many years, can hardly be reversed ...
