    1. Challoner devoted much energy and time to revising the English Catholic Bible. He had long perceived a need to update the language of the Douay–Rheims Bible that had appeared over the years 1582–1610. Challoner did not set out to make a new translation; his aim was to remove antiquated words and expressions so that the Bible would be more readable and understandable by ordinary folk.[10] While still at the University of Douai, he had been one of the approving prelates for a revision of the Rheims New Testament published in 1730 by the college president, Robert Witham. After returning to England, he and Francis Blyth had published in 1738 another revision of Rheims in an attractive large folio edition.[11]

    2. Freedom of information laws allow access by the general public to data held by national governments and, where applicable, by state and local governments.

      Definition. These laws are introduced in response to increasing dissatisfaction with secrecy around government policy.

    1. Constructed and unveiled in 1770 by Wolfgang von Kempelen (1734–1804) to impress Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, the mechanism appeared to be able to play a strong game of chess against a human opponent, as well as perform the knight's tour, a puzzle that requires the player to move a knight to occupy every square of a chessboard exactly once.

      do you believe in the strength of academia, and if there were a "thing between the electorate and righteousness" what would it be?

      When the Knights of the Round Table, or the Templars; or the Holy Guard stand up in this place and "Friday the 13th" happeneth to them all, in history and; I mean, did it just pass ... what kind of power stands between the end of "democracy" and it's very beginning?

      Cast of the movie. They spoke English (and are indeed English actors).

    1. Bahira (Arabic: بَحِيرَىٰ, Classical Syriac: ܒܚܝܪܐ) is the name in Islamic tradition of a Christian monk who is said to have foretold Muhammad's prophethood when they met while Muhammad was accompanying his uncle Abu Talib on a trading trip.[1][2] There are several versions of the story, with elements that contradict each other.[3] All accounts of Bahira and his meeting with Muhammad have been deemed fictitious by modern historians[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] as well as by some medieval Muslim scholars, such as al-Dhahabi.
    1. In the beginning of the film, a message appears that states the film encompasses historical facts as well as free personal impressions about Muhammad. Accordingly, some of the film's events did not actually take place in real life, but are indeed similar to events in Muhammad's biography.[6] Majidi stated that the objective behind presenting these scenes is to show that the whole existence could feel Muhammad's presence as well as his mercy.

      Interesting. This is a general problem with historical movies. There is almost no such thing as objectivity. By making a movie, you make choices, you select what makes the cut and what doesn't. and by doing so, you form a certain image of the prophet, in this case. The free personal impressions of Majid are in fact a way to represent a certain image of Muhammad.

      From what I have read, Majid is blamed for putting forward a Shi'ite Muhammed forward in the movie. Perhaps his free personal impressions are expressed in this regard?

    2. By the order of Abraha, King of Habasha, one of his army commanders launches an attack on Mecca in order to destroy the Kaaba. He leads a well-equipped force of thousands of soldiers, horses and elephants. As the army approaches Mecca, the elephants respond to divine order by halting and refusing to continue. Millions of small birds then release a hail of stones onto Abraha's forces and the army is annihilated. A month later, Muhammad is born. The film depicts pre-Islamic Arabia as seen through the eyes of Muhammad from birth to the age of 13.[1]
    1. The common swift (Apus apus) is a medium-sized bird, superficially similar to the barn swallow or house martin but somewhat larger, though not stemming from those passerine species, being in the order Apodiformes. The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar contextual development. The swifts' nearest relatives are the New World hummingbirds and the Southeast Asian treeswifts.

      These birds are mentioned as ebabil in Surah al-Fil.

    1. Along with bagels, smoked meat has been popular in Montreal since the 19th century and is identified as emblematic of the city's cuisine. Despite the food's origins in, and association with, Montreal's Jewish community and, contrary to what is sometimes asserted, delis are seldom certified as kosher.

    1. Although illiterate, the prisoners were forced to sign labor contracts, often including stipulations that they would be subject to the same conditions as other prisoners,

      He took advantage of that the slaves can't read to make them do things

    2. At this time, residents of Barbour County were notorious for kidnapping and selling African Americans into bondage,

      So little of this history is erased by the United States and they replace this knowledge with enforcing the idea that slavery ended in 1865

    1. More than 25 percent of the state's revenue in 1910 was derived from leasing African-American convicts to private enterprises.

      25% of the state being built on a hostage work force is wild. And this obviously clashes with the idea that these were "Self-made" men

    2. The disfranchisement of blacks by the 1901 constitution and suffrage amendment had reduced the Republican Party as an active force in the state. For more than 60 years, until federal civil rights legislation was passed to enforce the constitutional rights of African Americans in the mid-1960s, Alabama was essentially a one-party state, with elections won in the Democratic primaries.

      This shows how these problems still persist into living memory. The disenfranchisement of Black and colored is still a problem to this day, and didn't simply end on a single day during the civil rights movement.

    3. Avondale Mills had declared $55,000 in profit and produced almost 8,000,000 yards of material. By the turn of the century, Avondale Mills had set the course for future development.

      Its hard to defend the "Self Made Man" claim when all of his industries are built on the backs of other5 people who will never see the profit and he will never see their work

    4. . He increased funding for the public school system, resulting in more rural schools and high schools in each county for white students and a rise in the state's literacy rate.

      It is interesting how his page starts and includes so many positive accomplishments. This seems to almost direct attention away from his negative actions and legacy.

    1. Cena moved to California in 1998 to pursue a bodybuilding career and switched to professional wrestling in 1999, making his debut for Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW).

      ,

    1. switch from carbohydrate metabolism to lipid metabolism for cellular energy supply.[30][31][32] This metabolic switch limits anaerobic metabolism and the formation of lactate, a herald of poor prognosis and multi-organ failure (MOF) after I/R injury. In addition, the increase in lipid metabolism generates ketone bodies and activates peroxisome proliferating-activated receptors (PPARs), both of which have been shown to be protective against I/R injury

      BOOM. KETO and KETO AS AGING TREATMENT.

    2. Superoxide dismutase edit Superoxide dismutase is an effective anti-oxidant enzyme which converts superoxide anions to water and hydrogen peroxide. Recent researches have shown significant therapeutic effects on pre-clinical models of reperfusion injury after ischemic stroke

      MITOCHONDRIA TREATMENT

    3. resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and collapse. Upon collapse, the calcium is then released to overwhelm the next mitochondria in a cascading series of events that cause mitochondrial energy production supporting the cell to be reduced or stopped completely

      Wow.. Widespread mitochondrial death. This explains the need for necessary recovery period for mitochondria to be reproduced. Also makes clear an obvious mechanism why aerobic training, which increases mitochondria numbers, substantially increases aerobic endurance & speed, reduction in both ROS and Lactic Acidosis, thus pain, disease, and early death.

    4. brain ischemia/reperfusion injury is mediated via complex I redox-dependent inactivation.[5] It was found that lack of oxygen leads to conditions in which mitochondrial complex I loses its natural cofactor, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and become inactive.[6] When oxygen is present the enzyme catalyzes a physiological reaction of NADH oxidation by ubiquinone, supplying electrons downstream of the respiratory chain (complexes III and IV). Ischemia leads to dramatic increase of succinate level.[7] In the presence of succinate mitochondria catalyze reverse electron transfer so that fraction of electrons from succinate is directed upstream to FMN of complex I.[8] Reverse electron transfer results in a reduction of complex I FMN, increased generation of ROS, followed by a loss of the reduced cofactor (FMNH2) and impairment of mitochondria energy production.[8]

      There's the observed metabolic "mitochondrial" disorder seen in LC

    1. upregulating SASP by induction of interferon type I.[

      IFN inactivates cells. Therefore viruses inactivate cells. CD4 T (helper) cells therefore love to inactivate cells. Cytokines therefore inactivate cells. Immune response cells thus inactivate cells. ROS, inflammation, hypoxia, therefore inactivate cells.
