Unitarianism - which excluded all who should preach or write against the Trinity. It is noteworthy that in England the Socinian controversy, initiated by Biddle, preceded the Arian controversy initiated by Samuel Clarke’s Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity (1712). Arian or semi-Arian views had much vogue during the 18th century, both in the Church and in dissent. The free atmosphere of dissenting academies (colleges) favoured new ideas. The effect of the Salters’ Hall conference (1719), called for by the alleged heresy of James Peirce (1673 - 1726) of Exeter, was to leave dissenting congregations to determine their own orthodoxy; the General Baptists had already (1700) condoned defections from the common doctrine. In 1689 Presbyterians and Independents had coalesced, agreeing to drop both names and to support a common fund. The union in the.

British Commandos - Service" and both terms coexisted until the latter part of the war. Persistance of the term "Special Service" derived the terms "Special Air Service, for the original No.2 Commando parachutists, and longer term the "Special Boat Service whose origin lays in Lt. Roger Courtney's "101 Troop" of No.6 Commando. Each Commando was to consist of a headquarters unit plus 10 Troops of 50 men including 3 officers (changed in 1941 to 6 Troops of 65 men per Commando including a Heavy Weapons Troop). Some thirty Commando units were formed during the war between the Army, Royal Marines, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, together with a number of other Special Forces units. Army Commandos and Royal Marines Commandos were eventually formed into four Brigades. Each Commando was initially responsible for the.
Summa Theologica - the most mobile, it was better to have nothing." Then indivdual counters to the first objections are made, if needed. The Summa makes many refrences to certain thinkers which were held in great respect in St. Thomas's time. Almost the entire Summa is based off certain quotes from these authors, although many points made by them are refuted. Some were called by special names: The Philosopher: Aristotle. He was considered the best philosopher, the one who had expressed the most truth at his time. The main aim of the Scholastic theologians were to use his precise technical terms and logical system to describe theology. The Master: St. Peter Lombard. He was the man who wrote the main textbook for theology at the time, called the sentences. These were commentaries on the.

Kariba Dam - at 600 m high and 580 m long. The Kariba supplies 1320MW of electricity to parts of both Zambia (the Copperbelt) and Zimbabwe (6400GWh per annum). Kariba Lake, the reservoir created by the dam, extends for 280 km with a storage capacity of 180km³. The creation of the reservoir forced resettlement of about 57,000 people living along the Zambezi. In 1960-61, 'Operation Noah' captured and removed around 6,000 large animals and numerous small ones threatened by the lake's rising waters. Since its construction and filling in the early 1960s, Kariba has caused numerous earthquakes in the area, 20 of them in excess of magnitude 5 on the Richter scale. Engineers and seismologists are still uncertain as to the reason for these effects but the effects of 180bn tonnes of water cannot.
Jewish views of religious pluralism - in a press, each coin is identical. But when the King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, creates people in the form of Adam not one is similar to any other." (Mishnah, Sanhedrin, 4:5) Some rabbis in the Talmud view Christianity as a form of idolatry prohibited not only to Jews, but to gentiles as well. Rabbis with these views did not claim that it was idolatry in the same literal sense as pagan idolatry in Biblical times, but that it relied on idolatrous forms of worship (i.e. to a Trinity of gods and to statues and saints) (see Babylonian Talmud, Hullin, 13b). Other rabbis disagreed, and did not hold it to be idolatry. By the middle ages a new consensus was reached in the Jewish community in which.
Vespasian - the feeling in Vespasian's favour quickly gathered strength, and the armies of Moesia, Pannonia and Illyricum soon declared for him, and made him in fact master of half of the Roman world. His troops entered Italy on the north-east under the leadership of Antonius Primus, defeated the army of Vitellius at Bedriacum (or Betriacum) (which had awaited him in Mevania), sacked Cremona and advanced on Rome, which they entered after furious fighting and a frightful confusion, in which the Capitol was destroyed by fire. On receiving the tidings of his rival's defeat and death at Alexandria, new emperor at once forwarded supplies of urgently needed corn to Rome, along with an edict or a declaration of policy, in which he gave assurance of an entire reversal of the laws of Nero,.
Vegetarianism - given willingly. Leather from cows who have died of natural causes is acceptable. (Note: The diet of the orthodox Hindu also excludes alcohol, as well as "overly-stimulating" foods such as onions and garlic.) All dietary rules listed for Hindus apply to Jains, in addition to which Jains must take into account any suffering caused to plants and suksma jiva (Sanskrit: subtle lifeforms; refers to what would later be termed "microorganisms") by their dietary choices. They are forbidden from eating most root vegetables (e.g. potatoes) and deem many other vegetables acceptable only when harvested during certain times of the year. Jews, Christians and Moslems are all left with the biblical ideal of the "Garden of Eden" diet, which from all appearances is strictly vegan (cf. Gen. 1:29, 9:2-4; Is. 11:6-9). However, only.
Kaunas - were unfortunate for Kaunas. In 1665 Russian army attacked the city several times. In 1701 city hosted Swedish army, plagues in 1657 and 1708, fires in 1731 and 1732. At 1812 war army of Napoleon was crossing Nemunas, so the city was devastated too times during same year. In 1862 a railway connecting Russian empire and Germany was constructed, making Kaunas a significant railway hub. In 1898 first power plant started its operation. After Vilnius was occupied by Russians in 1919, government of Republic of Lithuania established its main offices here. As Vilnius was occupied by Poland breaking Suvalkai treaty in 1920, Kaunas became temporary capital of Lithuania. Between the World Wars Kaunas industry prospered, it was largest city of Lithuania, though, after regaining Vilnius it became second largest. After Second.
Vertical take-off and landing - VTOL performance were huge, and while it turned out to be fairly easy to move the plane, moving the support equipment and fuel was not so easy. By the mid-1960s interest in VTOL had faded, perhaps due much to the widespread introduction of ICBMs as the main nuclear delivery system. Currently there are believed to be two types of practical VTOL aircraft in operation: Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey "tilt-rotor" and the British Aerospace Hawker Harrier "Jump jet" An early VTOL prototype was the so-called "flying bedstead". The Harrier is often flown in STOVL mode which enables it to carry a higher fuel or weapon load over a given distance. It was developed from the Hawker P.1127 and Kestrel. The United States Marine Corps uses a license-built derivative of the Harrier. NASA.

Verner's law - an unstressed syllable in the same word, underwent voicing and became respectively *b, *d, *z and *g. When Grimm's law was discovered, a strange irregularity was spotted in its operation. The Proto-Indo-European (PIE) voiceless stops *p, *t and *k should have changed into Proto-Germanic (PGmc) *f, *þ (dental fricative) and *x (velar fricative), according to Grimm's Law. Indeed, that was known to be the usual development. However, there appeared to be a large set of words in which the agreement of Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Baltic, Slavic etc. guaranteed PIE *p, *t or *k, and yet the Germanic reflex was a voiced consonant (*b, *d or *g). At first, irregularities did not give scholars sleepless nights as long as there were many examples of the regular outcome. Increasingly, however, it became the.
Vector processor - reduce the amount of time this takes, most modern CPUs use a technique known as instruction pipelining in which the instructions pass though several sub-units in turn. The first sub-unit reads the address and decodes it, the next gets the values, and the next does the math. With pipelining the "trick" is to start decoding the next instruction even before the first has left the CPU, in assembly line fashion, so the address decoder is constantly in use. Any particular instruction takes the same amount of time to complete (known as the latency) but the CPU can process the entire batch much faster than if it did so one at a time. Vector processors take this concept one step further. Instead of pipelining just the instructions, they also pipeline the data.
