Animal - consuming plants or other organisms to grow and sustain themselves. Most animals have a body plan that becomes fixed as they mature and, except in animals that metamorphose, is established early in their development from embryos. The scientific study of animals is called zoology. Colloquially, "animal" often is used to refer to all animals other than humans and rarely to refer to animals not classified as metazoan (see "Metazoa" below). The word "animal" derives from the Latin anima, in its sense of vital breath, and comes to English via the Latin word for animal, animalis. Animalia is the plural.

Anima - Anima According to Carl Jung, the anima is the feminine side of a man's personal unconscious. It can be identified as all the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a man possesses. Jung also believed that every woman has an analogous animus within her psyche, this being a set of unconscious masculine attributes and potentials..
Animal Rights - a baffling non sequitur, though the change went generally unnoticed. Controversy erupted when both the BBC and MTV asked Moby to change the lyrics to the song's title line "That's When I Reach For My Revolver"--Moby rerecorded the song so it would air. Fans of the original were outraged; Moby defended himself, saying he didn't consider the change in lyrics to be very important. Oddly, one of the album's "last minute maxims" is "freedom of speech is absolute and inviolate." The album's cover features a picture of Moby at two weeks old, being held by his grandfather. On the Billboard Heatseekers chart, Animal Rights peaked at #31. Track listing All songs by Moby except "That's When I Reach For My Revolver," by Clint Conley of Mission of Burma. "Dead Sun" "Someone.
Koyaanisqatsi - was rereleased on DVD in late 2002. Much of the reason for the film's disappearance from the market centered around a complicated rights dispute. Reggio's Institute for Regional Education claimed original copyright on the film, but Francis Ford Coppola's was also contending for the film's rights, as it had been funded through his American Zoetrope studio. The film had originally been distributed through Island Entertainment / Palm Pictures, which had subsequently been sold to PolyGram -- and after the dissolution of PolyGram Pictures, the entire PolyGram film library had been sold to Metro-Goldwyn Mayer. The IRE released an independently-financed DVD production of the film to raise money for the film's future preservation, but the current mass-market version has been released through MGM. Koyaanisqatsi is followed by the sequels Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi.
Vittorio Gassman - unconventional comments, sometimes with the clear intention of disturbing the moderated cultural positions; he also gained many enemies in the world of art for similarly frank judgements. In his latest years he was victim of depression. He died of a heart-attack in his Roman home.

Johann Eck - to accept a call to a theological chair at Ingolstadt in Nov., 1510, receiving at the same time the honors and income of a canon at Eichstadt. In 1512 he be came prochancellor at the university and from that time until his death he was in complete control of the destinies of Ingolstadt, on which he impressed the character of ultracatholicism which made it a bulwark of the ancient faith in Germany. His wide knowledge found expression in numerous writings. In the theological field he produced his Chrysopassus (Augsburg, 1514), in which he de veloped a Semi-Pelagian theory of predestination, while he obtained some fame as commentator on the Summulae of Peter of Spain and on Aristotle's De caelo and De anima. As a political economist he defended interest, despite the.
Vladislav Delay - weaving, and live reprocessing. Many tracks have an organic feeling that pervades through rolling dubby basslines, hypersliced vocal snippets. Anima, released in 2001 and is an hour long mixture of harmony, dissonance and layers of clicks and pops. Some have compared it to a creation of a work was in which Delay overdubbed himself fumbling around cleaning the studio..
Greek philosophy - trial, though not his execution. Unlike Socrates, Plato wrote down his philosophical views and left a considerable number of manuscripts. See the article on him for more details. Aristotle Aristotle, known as Aristoteles in most languages other than English (Aristotele in Italian), (384 BC - March 7, 322 BC) has, along with Plato, the reputation of one of the two most influential philosophers in Western thought. Their works, although connected in many fundamental ways, differ considerably in both style and substance. Plato wrote several dozen philsophical dialogues - arguments in the form of conversations, usually with Socrates as a participant - and a few letters. Though the early dialogues deal mainly with methods of acquiring knowledge, and most of the last ones with justice and practical ethics, his most famous works.
Form - due to the idea of all children in the same class sitting on a single form (bench). The word has been used technically in philosophy with various shades of meaning. Thus it is used to translate the Platonic Idea (eidos), the permanent reality which makes a thing what it is, in contrast with the particulars which are finite and subject to change. Whether Plato understood these forms as actually existent apart from all the particular examples, or as being of the nature of immutable physical laws, is matter of discussion. For practical purposes Aristotle was the first to distinguish between matter (hyle) and form (eidos). To Aristotle matter is the undifferentiated primal element: it is rather that from which things develop than a thing in itself. The development of particular things.
Francesco Borromini - in Laterano, basilica (nave) Oratorio de' Filippini Collegio de Propaganda Fide [1] Santa Maria dei Sette Dolori San Giovanni in Oleo (restoration) Palazzo Giustiniani (with Carlo Fontana) For Sant'Agnese in Agone, he reverted the original plan of Girolamo Rainaldi (and his son Carlo), which previously had main entrance on via dell'Anima. Façade was expanded to include parts of the bordering Pamphilii palace, gaining space for the two bell towers (each of which has a clock, as in St. Peter's, one for Roman time, the other for tempo ultramontano, european time). Borromini lost this work before this was ended due to the death of the Pope Innocent X. The new Pope and Prince Camillo Pamphili called back Rainaldi, but this one didn't change very much and the church is mainly considered a.
Dietrich of Nieheim - is again found among the abbreviators, and in 1395 Pope Boniface IX appointed him to the bishopric of Verden. His attempt to take possession of the see, however, met with successful opposition; and he had to resume his work in the chancery, where his name again appears in 1403. In the meantime he had helped to found a German hospice in Rome, which survives as the Institute dell' Anima, and had begun to write a chronicle, of which only fragments are extant. His chief importance, however, lies in the part he took n the controversies arising out of the Great Schism. He accompanied Gregory XII to Lucca in May 1408, and, having in vain tried to make the pope listen to counsels of moderation, he joined the Roman and Avignonese cardinals.

Alexander of Aphrodisias - There are also several original writings by Alexander still extant. The most important of these are a work On Fate, in which he argues against the Stoic doctrine of necessity; and one On the Soul, in which he contends that the undeveloped reason in man is material (nous ulikos) and inseparable from the body. He argued strongly against the doctrine of immortality. He identified the active intellect (nous poietikos), through whose agency the potential intellect in man becomes actual, with God. Several of Alexander's works were published in the Aldine edition of Aristotle, Venice, 1495-1498; his De Fato and De Anima were printed along with the works of Themistius at Venice (1534); the former work, which has been translated into Latin by Grotius and also by Schulthess, was edited by J..
Alexandrists - philosophers who, in the great controversy on the subject of personal immortality, adopted the explanation of the ''De Anima'' given by Alexander of Aphrodisias. According to the orthodox Thomism of the Roman Catholic Church, Aristotle rightly regarded reason as a facility of the individual soul. Against this, the Averroists, led by Agostino Nito, introduced the modifying theory that universal reason in a sense individualizes itself in each soul and then absorbs the active reason into itself again. These two theories respectively evolved the doctrine of individual and universal immortality, or the absorption of the individual into the eternal One. The Alexandrists, led by Pietro Pomponazzi, boldly assailed these beliefs and denied that either was rightly attributed to Aristotle. They held that Aristotle considered the soul as a material and therefore a.
Tertullian - sqq.), or according to their subject-matter. The object of the former mode of division is to show, if possible, the change of views Tertullian's mind underwent. Following the latter mode, which is of a more practical interest, the writings fall into two groups: apologetic and polemic, e.g., Apologeticus, De testimonio animae, Adv. Judaeos, Adv. Marcionem, Adv. Praxeam, Adv. Hermogenem, De praescriptione hereticorum, Scorpiace, to counteract the sting of Gnosticism, etc.; practical and disciplinary, e.g., De monogamia, Ad uxorem, De virginibus velandis, De cultu feminarum, De patientia, De pudicitia, De oratione, Ad martyras, etc. Among the apologetic writings the Apologeticus, addressed to the Roman magistrates, is the most pungent defense of Christianity and the Christians ever written against the reproaches of the pagans, and one of the most magnificent legacies of the.
Animus - all the unconscious masculine psychological qualities that a woman possesses. Jung also believed that every man has an analogous anima within his psyche, this being a set of unconscious feminine attributes and potentials..
Archetype - with an archetype is called a complex, and may be named for its central archetype (e. g. "mother complex"). Jung often seemed to view the archetypes as sort of psychological organs, directly analogous to our physical, bodily organs: both being morphological givens for the species; both arising at least partially through evolutionary processes. There are four famous forms of archetypes numbered by Jung: The Self The Shadow The Anima The Animus The symbols of the unconscious abound in Jungian psychology: The Syzygy (Divine Couple) The Child The Superman (the Omnipotent) The Hero The Great Mother (manifested either as the Good Mother or the Terrible Mother) The Wise Old Man The Trickster or Ape (examples: Brer Rabbit, Bart Simpson, Bugs Bunny) ...etc... "Archetype" is sometimes broadly and misleadingly used as a substitute.
Cassiodorus - turned to religion.

Chronic Wasting Disease - additional positive elk herds and two positive farmed deer herds have been found: South Dakota (7), Nebraska (4), Colorado (10), Oklahoma (1), Kansas (1), Minnesota (1), Montana (1), and Wisconsin (2). As of October 2002, three of these 27 positive herds remain under State quarantine. Twenty-three of the herds have been depopulated or have been slaughtered and tested, and the quarantine has been lifted from one herd that underwent rigorous surveillance with no further evidence of disease. CWD also has been found in farmed elk in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta and in free-ranging mule deer in Saskatchewan. For more information on CWD in Canada, visit the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Web site at www.inspection.gc.ca/english/anima/heasan/disemala/cwdmdce.shtml. Species that have been affected with CWD include Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, white-tailed.
The Garden of Cyrus - be termed a work of hermetic phantasmagoria. Preface to Patron The dedicatory preface to his patron Nicolas Bacon includes several examples of Browne's subtle humour Had I not observed purblinde men discoursing well of generation and some excellently of Generation....How three full folio's are yet too little and how new Herbals fly from America from persevering enquirers......some commendably grew plantations of venomous vegetables..... and Cato seemed to dote upon Cabbage. The introductory preface also hints at the essence of Browne's 'nature philosophy'. From the detection of nature's arcana the alchemist-physician penetrated Nature's secrets to apprehend a fundamental tenet of alchemy - the Universal Spirit of Nature, the anima mundi or World-Soul responsible for all phenomena and which binds all life together. Browne first wrote upon the existence of the anima mundi.
