Ipse Dixit
''Ipse dixit'' (Latin for "he said it himself") is an assertion without proof, or a dogmatic expression of opinion.Whitney, William Dwight (1906)"''Ipse dixit''" ''The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia''. Vol. 4. Century. pp. 379–380. The fallacy of defending a proposition by baldly asserting that it is "just how it is" distorts the argument by opting out of it entirely: the claimant declares an issue to be intrinsic and immutable.VanderMey, Randall; Meyer, Verne; Van Rys, John; Sebranek, Patrick (2012)''COMP'' Cengage. p. 183. "Bare assertion. The most basic way to distort an issue is to deny that it exists. This fallacy claims, 'That's just how it is. History The Latin form of the expression comes from the Roman orator and philosopher Cicero, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BC) in his theological studies ''De Natura Deorum'' (''On the Nature of the Gods'') and is his translation of the Greek expression (with the identical meaning) ''autòs épha'' (), an argument from auth ...

Dixit (board Game)
''Dixit'' (, , "he/she/it said"), is a French board game created by , illustrated by Marie Cardouat, and published by . Using a set of cards illustrated with dreamlike images, players select cards that match a title suggested by the designated ''storyteller'' player, and attempt to guess which card the ''storyteller'' selected. The game was introduced in 2008. ''Dixit'' won the 2010 Spiel des Jahres award. Gameplay Each player is dealt six cards to start the game from a shuffled deck, which becomes the draw pile. For a three-player game, each player is dealt seven cards instead. Each player takes a turn as the ''storyteller''. The ''storyteller'' looks at the six cards in their hand and selects one, composing a sentence or phrase that might describe it and says it out loud, without showing the card to the other players. The ''storyteller''s goal is to provide a description that is ambiguous enough that not all other players will recognize the card, yet relevant enough that so ...

Dixit Dominus
Psalm 110 is the 110th psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version: "The said unto my Lord". In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate translations of the Bible, this psalm is Psalm 109. In Latin, it is known as Dixit Dominus ("The Lord Said"). It is considered both a royal psalm and a messianic psalm. (footnote 1) C. S. Rodd associates it with the king's coronation.Rodd, C. S., ''18. Psalms'', in Barton, J. and Muddiman, J. (2001)The Oxford Bible Commentary, p. 396 The psalm forms a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other Protestant liturgies. Because this psalm is prominent in the Office of Vespers, its Latin text has particular significance in music. Well-known vespers settings are Monteverdi's ''Vespro della Beata Vergine'' (1610), and Mozart's ''Vesperae solennes de confessore'' (1780). Handel composed his '' Dixit Dominus'' in 1707, and Vivaldi set the psalm in Latin t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dixit Dominus (Handel)
''Dixit Dominus'' is a psalm setting by George Frideric Handel (catalogued as HWV 232). It uses the Latin text of Psalm 110 (Vulgate 109), which begins with the words ''Dixit Dominus'' ("The Lord Said"). The work was completed in April 1707 while Handel was living in Italy. It is Handel's earliest surviving autograph. The work was written in the Baroque style of the period and is scored for five vocal soloists (SSATB), five-part chorus, strings and continuo. It is thought that the work was first performed on 16 July 1707 in the Church of Santa Maria in Montesanto, under the patronage of the Colonna family. The score was published in 1867. A typical performance lasts a little over 30 minutes. Movements The work has the following movements: See also * List of compositions by George Frideric Handel George Frideric Handel (23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) composed works including 42 operas; 24 oratorios; more than 120 cantatas, trios and duets; numerous arias; ode ...

Dixit–Stiglitz Model
Dixit–Stiglitz model is a model of monopolistic competition developed by Avinash Dixit and Joseph Stiglitz (1977). It has been used in many fields of economics including macroeconomics, economic geography and international trade theory. The model formalises consumers' preferences for product variety by using a CES function. Previous attempts to provide a model that accounted for variety preference (such as Harold Hotelling's location model) were indirect and failed to provide an easily interpretable and usable form for further study. In the Dixit–Stiglitz model, variety preference is inherent within the assumption of monotonic preferences because a consumer with such preferences prefers to have an average of any two bundles of goods as opposed to extremes. Mathematical derivation The model begins with a standard CES utility function: u = \left sum_^Nx_i^\right where N is the number of available goods, xi is the quantity of good i, and σ is the elasticity of substitutio ...
