| ARTICLES RELATED TO artistic | | | |  artistic: Encyclopedia II - Euro banknotes - Country lettersCountry codes are alphabetised according to the countries' names in the official language of each country, but reversed:
The notes of Luxembourg currently use the prefix belonging to the country where they were printed.
The positions of Denmark and Greece have been swapped in the list of letters starting the serial numbers, presumably because 'Y' is a letter of the Greek alphabet, while 'W' is not.

| | | | | artistic: Encyclopedia II - Euro banknotes - Serial Number Unlike the Euro coins, the Euro notes do not have a national side indicating where they're from. This information is instead encoded within the note's serial number.
The first letter of the serial number uniquely identifies the country that issues the note. The remaining numbers (when added up and the digits of the resulting sum then added together again until a single digit remains) give a checksum also particular to that country. The W, K and J codes have been reserved for the EU member ...

Croatia is situated between central, southern and eastern Europe. It has a rather peculiar shape that resembles a crescent or a horseshoe which helps account for its many neighbours: Slovenia, Hungary, the Serbian part of Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Montenegrin part of Serbia and Montenegro, and Italy across the Adriatic. Its mainland territory is split in two non-contiguous parts by the short coastline o ...

The Croats are largely Slavic people who lived in an area of what is today Galicia (in northwestern Ukraine and southern Poland). From there they migrated further south to present-day Croatia during the 7th century.

| | | | | artistic: Encyclopedia II - History - History and prehistory Traditionally the study of history was limited to the written word. However with the rise of academic professionalism and the creation of new scientific fields in the 19th and 20th centuries came a flood of new information that challenged this notion — archaeology, anthropology and other social sciences were providing new information and even theories about human history. Some traditional historians questioned whether these new studies were really history, since they were not limited to the written word. A new term, prehistory, was coined, to encompass the results of these new fields where they yeilded information abou ...

A keen botanist, he also built Singapore's first botanical garden there in 1822. The residence served as the colony's governors, thus subsequently earning the name Government Hill.
By around the late 1859s, increased security concerns led to the hill taking on a military role with the demolition of the governor's residence, and the building of a fort with an arms stor ...

The design for each of them has a common theme of European architecture in various artistic periods.

| | | | | artistic: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Ecuador - Art and Literature Graffiti is integral to the urban culture of Quito. Nearly every wall of the city is covered in it, leading to the rise of the saying "No wall is blank in Quito". Graffiti is usually artistic or political, and often poetic.

Music is very important in Ecuador, with pan pipes, flutes of bamboo, violins, drums and charangos all played often. Popular tunes played at fiestas include "Rosa Maria" and "El Con ...
