Zwingli argued that scripture, and not tradition, is the norm for faith. The Sixty-seven Theses were composed in preparation for the first public Zurich disputation, in which Zwingli defended his stance against that of the tradition of the church, which was represented by Johann Faber, who was a representative of the bishop. The council of Zurich had declared that the basis for judgment for the disputation would be scripture, thus giving Zwingli an advantage (Lindberg 170). Zwingli was therefore
I was deeply disturbed as I read through some of the court cases provided by the NIAAA (“National”, 2011, p. 10-15). I never experienced or witnessed hazing during high school or college. Recently, it was revealed that the football team at Lake Zurich High School, IL had a major hazing scandal that lasted decades (Keilman, 2017). The sexual acts and violence that coaches allowed to happen is unbelievable. I remember when the story broke on the radio I was shocked to the point where I didn’t feel
He renounced his German citizenship in 1896 (Grosz). He continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and he entered the Swiss Federal Technical School in Zurich in 1896 to be trained as a mathematics and physics teacher (Nobel). Around this time, he realized that physics was his true subject (Formative). A romance arose at the Zurich Polytechnic between Einstein and Mileva Maric, the only woman in his physics class (Formative). Einstein’s family opposed any talk of marriage, even when Mileva

to people. Too much homework stresses kids out. This is a big deal because it creates more work for teachers, separates kids from their parents, and decreasing homework will decrease these problems.(http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-zurich/community/chi-ugc-article-5-reasons-why-students-should-have-less-homew-2016-03-22-story.html).

Switzerland's secession from the Holy Roman Empire was recognized by the Treaty of Westphalia, which followed the Thirty Years' War early in
went to Zurich, Switzerland, to enter a famous technical school. There his ability in mathematics and physics began to show. When Einstein was graduated in 1900 he was unable to get a teaching appointment at a university. Instead he got a clerical job in the patent office at Bern, Switzerland. It was not what he wanted but it would give him leisure for studying and thinking. While over there he wrote scientific papers. Einstein submitted one of his scientific papers to the University of Zurich to obtain
History of Typography Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make language readable and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves typefaces, point size, line length, line-spacing, leading, tracking and kerning. Typography was implemented in the phaistas disc, an enigmatic Minoan printed item from Crete, which dates between 1850 and 1600 B.C.
