The year that Jesus died is known. He died in the year 33. In fact, not only is year known, the exact date of Nisan 14, 33 is when he died. Nisan was a month on the Jewish Lunar calender that corresponds to late March and early April on our calender. The chronology of Jesus is uncertain, disputed, and perhaps impossible to ascertain definitively based on available evidence. The texts used in chronological reconstruction, the four canonical gospels, provide few clear dates - including the year of Jesus's birth, death, and age at death. (Dates for rulers and high priests are known from other sources). Moreover, the material unique to each gospel further complicates the discernment of one, harmonized chronology. Lastly, some commentators have questioned their historicity (see Historicity of Jesus). One crucial issue is that of whether the three synoptic gospels were composed to follow the liturgical calendar - in other words, intended to be read aloud section-by-section throughout the church year, with each section illuminating a theme found in the Torah readings for that day. (Church lectionaries follow the same principle.) If so, then any attempt to tease out a chronology would be fundamentally misguided, as episodes from Jesus's life and teachings would have been re-arranged to fit a one-year period. In brief, the primary events in Jesus' life are believed to have occurred around these times:[1] : :: c. 8 BC - Suggested birth (earliest estimate) :: c. 5 BC/4 BC - Herod the Great's death :: c. 6 - Suggested birth (latest), Census of Quirinius :: c. 26/27 - Suggested death (earliest), Pontius Pilate appointed governor of Iudaea Province :: c. 28/29 - John the Baptist begins mission in "15th year of Tiberius" (Luke 3:1-2) :: c. 36/37 - Suggested death (latest), Pilate removed from office[2] ::

In the strictest sense of the word, Plato was not a Stoic: the Stoic 'school' originated with Zeno of Citium, at Athens, ca. 300 B.C., several decades after Plato's death. Zeno and the later Stoics were undoubtedly influenced themes and ideas raised in Plato's writings (as well as Aristotle's), but this is far as the connection goes.

How do issues in metaphysics motivate questions of epistemology?
I am no expert in philosophy; but deciding on whether material objects exist (i.e. whether you decide that either all material objects exist, some do, or none do) will determine how you approach finding knowledge in such a reality. In a material world, you will reach knowledge based on empiricism; in a non-material world, you will reach knowledge through deductive reasoning because that a priori knowledge would be all that is possible.
Remember that empiricists and rationalists reach the same conclusions, only through different procedures. Deciding then on an idealist view or a materialist view, despite being the greatest issue in metaphysics, is thus of little consequence to epistemology.
It really depends on in metaphysics if you believe that these conclusions are real by an objective standard: I guess that means truth is the real question. I never did like metaphysics; I see it as a guessing game, trying to write things in God's dictionary.
Just develop a theory of reality for yourself and what will come from that is a method of questioning what you can and do know.

Business Editors MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2004 Network Video Technologies (NVT) today announced that Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas is using NVT's equipment to transmit video signals from cameras to monitors using unshielded twisted-pair wire (UTP), delivering high-quality video while simplifying system installation.

the amount of cameras we could use while keeping the same size pipeline," explains Brian King, lead surveillance technician for Mandalay Resort Group. "We also chose not to use any existing wire so that we could have full ownership and control over our part of the network." Mandalay Bay is using a Pelco 9760 switch with six nodes and a mixture of dedicated VCRs, MUXs and digital video recorders. Cable runs are from 100 to 2,500 feet. "Although we mostly use Cat 5 when we can, sometimes the choices in pairs (4, 25, 50 and 100) force us to use Cat 3 or multiple 25-pair Cat 5 cable," King reports. These latter cables cost much less and, as importantly, NVT transmission equipment works with all of them, eliminating the need to base cable selection on the transmission system components. King says the casino saved a "substantial" amount of money by using UTP wire versus coaxial cable and the picture quality is excellent. "For long runs with multiple cameras coming from one unique location, I recommend NVT's UTP solution," King adds. In most video transmission applications, coaxial cable is more difficult to install, resulting in higher labor costs. It is also less dependable because it is more susceptible to interference. Conversely, video signals transmitted using NVT's UTP solution remain noise free while transmitting over longer distances. About NVT Network Video Technologies develops and markets an award winning line of video transceivers and hub systems for the transport of quality full-motion, color video and audio over ordinary, unshielded telephone wire. As a security industry leader in twisted pair based video transmission technology, NVT continues to innovate and produce leading edge video transmission equipment featuring unsurpassed performance backed by excellent customer support.

Areas of academic discipline that train one to think a subject through more clearly and more completely by serving as a form of mental gymnastics as needed in contemporary society as physical gymnastics is for our seriously deconditioned and overweight population but which requires other things as well like learning to use grammar and punctuation properly which for some reason is not permitted here
This was a concept espoused by the Greek philosopher Plato. Plato believed that men had to be enlightened to rule, just as sailors needed to know the sea, or physicians needed to understand medicine.
