Attempts To Prove Euclid's Fifth Postulate alHaytham's (10th century) kinematic method was criticized by Omar Khayyam (11th century) whose own proof was published for the first time in 1936. http://www.cut-the-knot.org/triangle/pythpar/Attempts.shtml
Extractions: By Joan K. Widdifield, Psy.D The idea of a film based on the story of Omar Khayyam, 11th Century Persian philosopher, astronomer, poet and author of The Rubaiyat, is exciting and full of promise - with the potential for intriguing drama and spectacular visuals. It is an opportunity to introduce the American moviegoer to Middle Eastern history and actors as a vehicle for promoting cross-cultural understanding. "The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam," filmed mostly in Uzbekistan, chronicles Omar Khayyams rise as one of the great intellectuals of his time, his love relationship with Darya, and his close friendship and rivalry with Hassan. Khayyam discovers advances in science and math and develops an accurate calendar. His friend Hassan takes a path of religious intolerance, as the Christian Crusaders approach. Omar rejects religious dogma that leads to killing, and incorporates the Greek philosophical emphasis on reason into his Islamic faith. The modern part of the story is an ode to the oral tradition in the Middle East. It focuses on a 12 year-old Iranian-American boy Kamran (Adam Echahly) who sits at his dying brothers bedside, learning about their legendary ancestor, Omar Khayyam. This eventually leads Kamran to England to learn about the first English version of the Rubaiyat translated in the 19th Century, and to meet with the bookbinders heir played by Vanessa Redgrave.
Extractions: The first American film produced almost entirely in the country of Uzbekistan, once the heart of Ancient Persia. This historical epic tells the story of a boy living in America who uncovers the secret connection to the Great Omar Khayyam, 11th Century Persian Mathematician, Astronomer and Poet of the famous "Rubaiyat." We are taken to 11th Century Persia as the 12 year old boy learns the tale of his ancestor. Download Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam

Extractions: When the nature of the galaxies finally came to light about 75 years ago, people were awed by the serene grandeur that these "island universes" presented. Stately in their motions, rotating once every 100 million years, they presented a picture of eternal tranquility. In fact, a popular cosmological model up to the 1960s was the Steady-State Theory, which posited an unchanging, eternal, infinite space where new and old objects stood side by side, uniformly spread together throughout the far reaches of the universe. The discovery of the quasars sounded the death knell for this idea. Indeed, the implications of these observations were so bizarre that many astronomers refused to believe the interpretation that we have just presented, and instead sought to explain the red shift (which implied vast distances and hence stupendous energy output) by other means. All these ideas failed, and rather reluctantly for many, scientists had to accept the picture we have painted here.

Hell - Wikiquote Omar Khayyam (11th century) The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam; One of the things that most pains and torments these Japanese is that we teach them that the prison of hell is irrevocably http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Hell

Opinio08 His philosophy of life is definitely not the philosophy of the Buddha but the philosophy of Omar Khayyam, 11th century Persian poet and aspiring to become a Sri Lankan http://www.island.lk/2003/03/03/opinio08.html
Extractions: Opinion In fact, not a monk, even a die-hard lay fanatic would not clamour for such a shocking and shameful demand that goes against all accepted norms of morality in any civilized society. Quite contrary to his mission as (presumably) a Buddhist monk and also completely forgetting his bounden obligations, now he is clamouring for legalising brothels. Once this objective is achieved by any means; subsequently there may be other demands like legalising kasippu dens, gambling dens, taverns, liquor shops etc. in his agenda. What a social worker and moralist! Though a monk, extremely unnaturally he is concerned only about evil things just like the witches in Shakespeares "Macbeth". In my humble opinion, his knowledge of Buddhism is extremely questionable. His philosophy of life is definitely not the philosophy of the Buddha but the philosophy of Omar Khayyam, 11th century Persian poet and aspiring to become a Sri Lankan Rasputin. All in all, definitely he must be a non-believer of Rebirth. This is the calibre of some of the Buddha Puthras we have today not fit to be called even Devadatha Puthra. What a tragedy if a Buddhist monk does not know the value of Buddhism. I recommend him to read the booklet "Buddhism in the Eyes of Intellectuals", by Ven. K. Dhammananda thera. The Buddha has admonished us "Be a lamp unto thyself!" Actually an erotic monk can be compared to a "bullock or packbull loaded with jaggery and coconut".

Pointe Pierre Vatican the rubaiyat omar khayyam - 11th century . This building housed both the mess where we ate Mrs.Dales fabulous meals, and the Prep' room where we studied. http://papmemories.net/page37a.html
Extractions: VATICAN CITY One of Pointe-a-Pierre's better known spots. To those outside of the Vatican, it seemed that the mysterious Piggy island was the sole territory of the residents of the Vatican. Although I never saw any action there and have never been aware of any stories or legends surrounding it, the enduring feeling is one of mystery and intrigue. I've been there hunting 'gators at night but not much more. However it certainly was a locating icon while growing up, is a solid part of the legend of the Vatican City, and one of the PaP points of reference that holds special meaning even today. This building housed both the mess where we ate Mrs.Dales fabulous meals, and the Prep' room where we studied. The latter was where I learned to turn off and not suffer the effects of the gradualness of time that slows to it worse when bored....maybe the the first time that I used the basics of meditation to get through an unpleasant period. It seems that this building was one of the boundaries that limited where we could and couldn't go during our "free" time....don't remember seeing the back of this building on the Vatican City side for the whole time I was there...don't even remember going there to smoke. One of the sad changes that marks and confirms that the "good old days" are really gone never to return is this building that once was the Dales home. It was where Mrs.Dale, Colin and Susan lived even while Michael was in the boarding house just a few yards away. On the extreme right and just out of the picture is a light pole that once housed a telephone....don't remember the details but sure remember the 'phone. Seems that the pole represented another boundary for us boarders.

Albert Camus There is no chance, no fate, no destiny that can circumvent, or hinder, or control a firm resolve of a determined soul. It seems to me that the meaning of a person's life consists in proving to himself every minute that he's a person and not a piano key. Fyodor Dostoevsky Man has to be himself in spite of unfavorable circumstances; that means he has to make his own existance at every single moment. He is given the abstract possibility of existing, but not the reality. This he has to conquer hour after hour. Man must earn his life. José Ortega y Gasset In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
