Universal Decimal Classification - Universal Decimal Classification Universal Decimal Classification is a system of library classification developed by the Belgian bibliographers Paul Otlet and Henri la Fontaine at the end of the 19th century. It is based on the Dewey Decimal Classification, but is much more powerful. It uses auxiliary signs to indicate various special aspects of a subject and relationships between subjects. It thus contains a significant faceted or analytico-synthetic element, and is used especially in specialist libraries. UDC has been modified and extended over many years to cope with the increasing output in all disciplines of human knowledge, and is still under continuous review to take account of new developments. The documents classified by UDC may be in any form. They will often be literature, i.e. written documents,.
Universal jurisdiction - Universal jurisdiction Universal jurisdiction is a controversial principle in international law whereby states claim criminal jurisdiction over persons whose alleged crimes were committed outside the boundaries of the prosecuting state. According to the proponents of universal jurisdiction, certain crimes pose so serious a threat to the international community as a whole, that any state can ought to be able to prosecute an individual responsible for it; no place should be a safe haven for war criminals and human rights violators. Opponents of the concept, notably Henry Kissinger, argue that pursuit of universal jurisdiction could undermine the goal of justice which proponents seek to achieve. Comparison with other bases of jurisdiction Jurisdiction is most commonly exercised by a State in relation to crimes committed on its territory.
Universal suffrage - Universal suffrage Universal suffrage (also general suffrage or common suffrage) is the extension of voting privileges to all adults, without distinction to race, sex, belief or social status. Equal and Common Suffrage was, particular in Northern Europe, the slogan for the Democratic Movement of the late 19th century, unifying Liberalss and Social Democrats. The Movement for Universal Suffrage was a social, economic and political movement aimed at extending suffrage (the right to vote) to people of all races. The first movements toward universal suffrage (or manhood suffrage) occurred in the early 19th century, and were focused at removing property requirements for voting. In the late 19th and early 20th century, the focus of universial suffrage was intended to remove requirements against women having the right to.
Kasimir Felix Graf von Badeni - been the Governor of Galicia. He was devoted to the Empire and the Emperor, but had some liberal and anti-clerical ideas. He came to power in Austria after the failure of a democratic coalition ministry. He succeeded in implementing a form of the idea of universal suffrage (for men) but made it palatable to the ruling interests of the Empire. However, his "ordinance of April 5, 1897" would prove to be an astonishing failure. The ordinance declared "that Czech and German should be the languages of the 'inner service' throughout Bohemia." This meant that civil servants in the province of Bohemia would have to know both Czech and German, since government business would be conducted in both languages for internal Bohemian affairs. Germans in Bohemia were outraged since this effectively excluded.
Venn diagram - in common with set B. Or, as a syllogism All Vs are Ts All Ks are Vs Therefore All Ks are Ts. Venn, Johnston, and Euler diagrams may be identical in appearance. Any distinction is in their domains of application, that is in the type universal set that is being divided up. Johnston's diagrams are specifically applied to truth values of propositional logic, whereas Euler's illustrate specific sets of "objects" and Venn's concept is more generally applied to possible relationships. It is likely that the Venn and Euler versions have not been "merged" because Euler's version came 100 years earlier, and Euler has credit for enough accomplishment already, whereas John Venn has nothing left to his name but the diagram. The difference between Euler and Venn may be no more than.
Kingston upon Hull - 1299 by King Edward I of England who needed a northern port to supply his campaigns in Scotland. The 700+ year old charter remains preserved in Hull's Guildhall Archives. In times preceding this the port and settlement on the site of Hull was known as Wyke. The city's association with royalty was broken in 1642 when Hull governor Sir John Hotham declared for the Parliamentarian cause and later refused Charles I entry into the City and access to its large arsenal. He was declared a traitor and despite a parliamentarian pardon was later executed. This series of events was to precipitate the English Civil War since Charles I felt obliged to respond to the insult by besieging the City; an event that played a critical role in triggering open conflict between.
Japan - (北海道). The Japanese name Nippon is used on stamps and for international sporting events, while Nihon is used more often within Japan. It is from the Chinese version of the name that the English Japan was derived. The early Mandarin Chinese word for Japan was recorded by Marco Polo as Cipangu. In Malay the Chinese word became Japang and was thus encountered by Portuguese traders in Moluccas in the 16th century. It is thought the Portuguese traders were the first to bring the word to Europe. It was first recorded in English in 1577 spelled Giapan. History Main article: History of Japan People who live in Japan are descendants of those who came from the Asian continent through Sakhalin, Korea and China, especially around Beijing and Shanghai, and from the South.
Jainism - 3 Beliefs and practices 3.2 Jain Prayer 4 References Overview of Jainism Beginning as a Hindu reform movement, Jainism became as an independent religion by the 6th century BC. The primary historical figures of Jainism are the Tirthankaras. Jainism has three main variants: Digambara, Shvetambara, and Sthanakavasis. Jains believe in ahimsa, asceticism, karma, samsara, and the jiva; their primary scripture is the Siddhanta. At 6 million adherents, Jainism is the smallest of the 10 major world religions. There are 6000 Jain nuns, and 2500 Jain monks -- most of the nuns are members of the Shvetambara. (Fisher) In India, Jains are over-represented in positions of economic and political power; the global diamond market is dominated by Jain-owned corporations. Jains have been a significant force in Indian culture, contributing to Indian philosophy,.
Jan Hus - the eighties. He was greatly in fluenced by Stanislaus of Znaim, who later was long his intimate friend, but finally his bitter enemy. As a student Hus did not distinguish himself. The learned quotations of which he boasted in his writings were mostly taken from Wyclif's works. A hot temper and arrogance were traits of his character, and he was not free from sophistry. In 1393 he became bachelor of arts, in 1394 bachelor of theology, and in 1396 master of arts. In 1400 he was ordained priest, in 1401 he became dean of the philosophical faculty, and in the following year rector. In 1402 he was appointed also preacher of the Bethlehem Church in Prague, where he preached in the Czech language. 2. Influence of Wyclif in Bohemia Following the.
Japanese school uniform - style school uniforms in the late 19th century as a part of its modernization program. Today, school uniforms are almost universal in the public and private school systems. They are also used in some Women's colleges. The Japanese high school uniform traditionally consists of a military style uniform for boys and a sailor dress (sailor fuku) for girls. The uniforms are based on Meiji era formal military dress, themselves modelled on European-style naval uniforms. The school uniform is an established part of Japanese life. Stylized school uniforms are prominent for instance in the Japanese comic Sailor Moon, or in Card Captor Sakura. Different schools in Japan are known for their particular uniform. Japanese high school students Uniforms Sailor girl Gaku-ran Burezaa.
Jack Lang (Australia) - was a prominent Australian politician during the early twentieth century. He was a member of the Australian Labor Party, and the Premier of New South Wales for two terms, from 1925-27, and again from 1930-32. He is the only Premier of any Australian State to have been dismissed by the State Governor (the representative of the British monarch) without there being an election or parliamentary vote of no confidence. This was due to his refusal to pay interest on government loans borrowed from financiers in the United Kingdom at the height of the Great Depression. Jack Lang's Early Life John Thomas Lang - familiarly known as "Jack" and nicknamed "The Big Fella" during his political career - was born on December 21, 1876 into an impoverished family in the slums of.
James Martineau - professor of mental and moral philosophy and political economy in Manchester New College, the seminary in which he had been educated, and which had now removed from York to Manchester. This position he held for forty-five years. In 1853 the college removed to London, and four years later he followed it thither. In 1858 he was called to occupy the pulpit of Little Portland Street chapel in London, which he did at first for two years in conjunction with the Rev. JJ Tayler, who was also his colleague in the college, and then for twelve years alone. In 1866 the chair of the philosophy of mind and logic in University College, London, fell vacant, and Martineau became a candidate. But potent opposition was offered to the appointment of a minister of.
James Parkinson - His early career was marred by his being involved in a variety of social and revolutionary causes, and some historians think it most likely that he was a strong proponent for the French Revolution. He published almost a dozen political pamphlets in the post-French Revolution period, when Britain was in political chaos. Writing under his own name and pseudonym "Old Hubert", he called for radical social reforms. Parkinson called for representation of the people in the House of Commons, the institution of annual parliaments, and universal suffrage. He was a member of several secret political societies, including the London Corresponding Society for Reform of Parliamentary Representation. In 1794 his membership in the organization led to his being examined under oath before the Privy Council to give evidence about a plot to.
Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin - is considered by some to be the greatest of the 18th-century French painters. He is known for his beautifully textured still lifes as well as his sensitive and touching genre paintings. He was born, lived and died in Paris. Simple, even stark, but treasured paintings of common household items (Still Life with a Smoker's Box) and an uncanny ability to portray children's innocence in a nonsentimental manner (Boy with a Top) makes his paintings universal across time. He was the son of a cabinetmaker, and though largely self-taught, he was greatly influenced by the realism and subject matter of the 17th-century Low Country masters. His early support came from patrons in the French aristocracy, including Louis XV, despite his unconventional portrayal of the then-rising bourgeoisie. He was admitted to the Royal.
Jet engine - Me 262 in 1944. The Messerschmitt 262 was by far the fastest airplane of WW II. Mass production started in 1944, too late for a decisive impact. After the end of World War II, the German Me 262 aircraft were extensively studied by the victorious allies, and led to early Soviet and US jet fighters. British engines also were licensed widely in the US, whose own designs wouldn't come fully into their own until the 1960s. Their most famous design, the Nene, would also power the USSR's jet aircraft after a particularly stupid technology exchange. Types There are a number of different types of jet engines: Turbojet Whittle's and von Ohain's designs are now classified as turbojets, mostly to distinguish them from some of the types outlined below. Generally turbojets are.
Jelly bean - of sugar. The interior jelly traces its origin back thousands of years to the candy called Turkish Delight while the shell is essentially the same as developed in the late 19th century for the Jordan almond candy. The two were brought together around the beginning of the 20th century. It was not until 1930 or so that jelly beans became an Easter candy, presumably from their resemblance to eggs. One prominent maker was the Herman Goelitz Candy Company, also the inventor of candy corn and now renamed the Jelly Belly Candy Company (Fairfield, California) making many naturally flavored beans, including pear, watermelon, root beer, and (their most popular flavor) buttered popcorn. The success of their brand led to a jelly-bean rennaissance, particularly when Ronald Reagan began keeping them on his desk.
Villard de Honnecourt - of drawings (ca 1330s?) by Villard de Honnecourt, possibly a 13th century itinerant master-builder of Picardy in northern France, is in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris (MS Fr 19093). It appears to be a model-book, with a wide range of religious and secular figures suitable for sculpture, and architectural plans, elevations and details, ecclesiastical objects and mechanical devices, with copious annotations. In many respects, the work of Villard de Honnecourt, such as "Constructions", "The Wheel of Fortune", and most particularly his "Lion and Porcupine" (all c. 1235) represent a tentative move from the universal to the particular, a conceptual breakthrough of sorts..
