The Safavid Empire: A Persian empire that ruled over parts of modern-day Iran and Iraq from the early 16th to the mid-18th century. It was known for its use of artillery and its cultural achievements, including the development of a distinct Safavid style of art and architecture.People who need to use maths in their jobs, whether accountancy, retail or engineering for example, often do quite complex and fast estimations in their heads, so that they have a good idea of what the answer will be before they take the time to do a more complex calculation. Bach was required to instruct the students of the Thomasschule in singing and provide church music for the main churches in Leipzig. He was also assigned to teach Latin but was allowed to employ four "prefects" (deputies) to do this instead. The prefects also aided with musical instruction. [61] A cantata was required for the church services on Sundays and additional church holidays during the liturgical year.

A land-based empire is an empire that is primarily based on the control and administration of land and territory. This type of empire often expands through military conquests, as it seeks to gain control over new territories and resources. Land-based empires can be found throughout history and have varied in size, power, and influence. Some examples of land-based empires include the Roman Empire, the Mongol Empire, the British Empire, and the Russian Empire.

Two hundred (113 shift and 87 non-shift) consecutive workers who consented were recruited into the study. A structured questionnaire was administered to deduce information on participant’s age, alcohol consumption pattern, smoking habits, history of diabetes, stroke and hypertension.

From 1740 to 1748 Bach copied, transcribed, expanded or programmed music in an older polyphonic style ( stile antico) by, among others, Palestrina ( BNBI/P/2), [74] Kerll ( BWV241), [75] Torri ( BWVAnh.30), [76] Bassani ( BWV1081), [77] Gasparini ( Missa Canonica) [78] and Caldara ( BWV1082). [79] Bach's own style shifted in the last decade of his life, showing an increased integration of polyphonic structures and canons and other elements of the stile antico. [80] His fourth and last Clavier-Übung volume, the Goldberg Variations, for two-manual harpsichord, contained nine canons and was published in 1741. [81] Throughout this period, Bach also continued to adopt music of contemporaries such as Handel ( BNBI/K/2) [82] and Stölzel ( BWV200), [83] and gave many of his own earlier compositions, such as the St Matthew and St John Passions and the Great Eighteen Chorale Preludes, [84] their final revisions. He also programmed and adapted music by composers of a younger generation, including Pergolesi ( BWV1083) [85] and his own students such as Goldberg ( BNBI/G/2). [86] From an early age, Bach studied the works of his musical contemporaries of the Baroque period and those of prior generations, and those influences were reflected in his music. [103] Like his contemporaries Handel, Telemann and Vivaldi, Bach composed concertos, suites, recitatives, da capo arias, and four-part choral music and employed basso continuo. Bach's music was harmonically more innovative than his peer composers, employing surprisingly dissonant chords and progressions, often with extensive exploration of harmonic possibilities within one piece.

Abel-François Poisson, the Marquis de Marigny, arranges for the display of 110 of the Crown's paintings at the Palais du Luxembourg.

This also applies to Civilian personnel data expressed in terms of Full-Time Equivalents ( FTE). The MOD civilian personnel strength ( FTE) at 1 April 2021 was 60,000, an increase of 1,750 personnel (3.0%) compared with 1 April 2020 (Excel ODS Table 1). Why empires weaken and fall is complex and unique to each empire. Nomadic empires often weakened after their initial conquest because of their limited experience governing settled landed states or because they adapted so much to local customs and lost their fighting edge and distinctive identity. Also, with the rise of gunpowder weapons, nomads in particular lost their edge when horses were no longer the most important weapon on the battlefield.
