1. William Shatner's version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- en2.wikipedia.org
- William Shatner's version of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" is considered by many to be the worst musical rendition of all time. ...
- Nimoy's "If I Had a Hammer" is reputed to be worse. It may be that "Baggins" is more commonly used as a comparison to cast more light on how truly incomparably bad Shatner's vocals are. ... There may be some truth to the rumour, considering Nimoy's success as a comedy film director.
- However, Shatner is a Canadian, so this may be favouritism, or the fact that many more people have lived through Shatner's song: most of those who heard Jenkins are now dead.
2. Fundamentalist Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- en2.wikipedia.org
- Derivatively, a fundamentalist Christian is a Christian who holds the Bible to be infallible, historically accurate, and decisive in all issues of controversy that the Bible is believed to directly address; which is the central issue for which the Christian Fundamentalist movement has contended.
- Fundamentalists often see secular humanism to be a mortal enemy and the work of Satan to deceive society from the true path. ...
- On the other hand, the plasticity of the label can be seen, when one of these groups condemns another as a "fundamentalist".
- Although the modern movement formed within many of the established denominations, the fundamentalist tendency toward separation has swelled the ranks of peripheral, spinoff denominations, has produced a multitude of new groups, and often has made the choice of congregational independence appear to be the more faithful choice. ...
- A self-described fundamentalist rejects the application of this term to himself, in any sense that can be applied to such groups - his use is antithetical. ...
- The original formulation of American fundamentalist beliefs can be traced to the Niagara Bible Conference in 1878. ...
- Christian Fundamentalists argued that the Bible must be accepted as the literal word of God, correct not only in its religious or moral teachings, but also in its scientific and historical claims. ... That is, the interpretation is to be preferred which proposes the simplest possible meaning of the words: for example, God literally created the world in 6 days; God created Eve from Adam's rib; the Garden of Eden was a real place; Noah was a man who actually lived, built an ark and survived a great flood, and so on. ... The Bible should instead be interpreted as the original readers would have interpreted it - literally where the context shows the intention of a non-figurative meaning, as in the gospel narratives and other chronicles; but figuratively where the context shows an intended figurative sense, as in the Book of Revelation.
- Some fundamentalists, on the other hand, may be willing to consider alternative authorship only where the Biblical text does not specify an author, insisting that books in which the author is identified must have been written by that author.
- Roman Catholicism also has those members who could be considered as fundamentalists, but instead of being identified as fundamentalists they most often are called Traditional Catholics or Catholic Traditionalists. ... In some cases they have broken away from the mainstream church and reject those Popes who they see as heretics - which usually they consider to be every Pope from John XXIII on.
- In some American school districts there is still controversy over whether public school students should be taught evolution, creationism, or some mixture of the two. ... All scientific theories should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered. ...
- The Foundation for Freedom from Religion as well as many other groups believe that the Religious Right are founded on Dominionism or Christian Reconstructionism, philosophies that dictate the government should be an arm of the Church and should 'do God's will'.
- Together, these very widely diverse groups constitute what has since come to be known as the religious right. It should probably be considered an abuse of the term, to label the religious right a fundamentalist movement in any sense.
3. Millerites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- en2.wikipedia.org
- Miller was a profitable farmer, a Baptist layman and amateur student of the Bible, living in northern New York, in the region of that state which has come to be known as the Burned-over district. ... Setting these calculations alongside the prophetic numbering systems that appear in the books of Daniel, Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation, by 1830, Miller became fully convinced that the dates of the birth of Jesus and the fall of the Temple of Jerusalem were foretold in prophecy, and that the date of the return of the Messiah could be known with precision. ...
- Based on his calculations, the coming of Christ and the inauguration of the Millennial kingdom should be expected somewhere around 1843. ... Later, he adjusted his calculations to conform to the "Jewish calendar", to finally arrive at the confidence that 1844 would be the last year of the present age and the beginning of the "seventh day of the creation". ...
- Therefore, traditional teachings provide no reliable help, and it should be no surprise if a traditional doctrine such as the Trinity would be corrected by the spirit of prophecy. ...
- The Second Great Awakening was generally productive of very optimistic ideas of progress and eschatology, expecting the kingdom of God to be realized through an historical process. In contrast to this optimism, Millerites anticipated that the coming of Christ would be cataclysmic, replacing the old order of things. ...
- Only those who discern the true prophetic message from among many counterfeits that will multiply in the latter-days, will be survive deception and final ruin. ...
- Southcott is believed by her followers to be, in fact, the woman clothed with the sun, in the Book of Revelation. She prophesied that she herself was pregnant with the true Messiah, who was to be born on October 19, 1814 - these particular beliefs have no representation among Millerites. ...

- Another event claiming to be the first Thanksgiving occurred on December 4, 1619 when 38 colonists from Berkeley Parish in England disembarked in Virginia and gave thanks to God.
- And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty. ...
- In the middle of the Civil War, prompted by a series of editorials written by Sarah Josepha Hale, the last of which appeared in the September 1863 issue of Godey's Lady's Book, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day, to be celebrated on the final Thursday in November 1863:.
- It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. ... And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. ...
- In 1939, President Roosevelt declared that Thanksgiving would be the next to last Thursday of November rather than the last. ...
- The holiday was not officially recognized again till 1879, when parliament declared Thanksgiving to be an annual national secular holiday. ...

9. Color blindness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- en2.wikipedia.org
- Anyone (including color blind) should be able to see the number 83. The pictures below should look similar (containing just different numbers) to people with normal vision, but they won't be visible to people with some color vision deficiency. ... If you can't see it on this image, you might be protanopic. If you can't see this number, you might be deuteranopic. If you can't see this number, you might be tritanopic. ...
- People who are not completely blind should be able to read the number 83 in the first picture. ...
- This causes reds to reduce in intensity to the point where they can be mistaken for black. ...
- Protanomaly and deuteranomaly can be readily observed using an instrument called an anomaloscope, which mixes spectral red and green lights in variable proportions, for comparison with a fixed spectral yellow. ...
- Defects in this gene cause tritanopia and are less frequently evident, since it requires mutations to be present in two chromosomes.
- It occurs in two forms: cone monochromacy, where only a single cone system appears to be functioning, so that no colors can be distinguished, but vision is otherwise more or less normal; and achromatopsia, or maskun, or rod monochromacy where the retina contains no cone cells, so that in addition to the absence of color discrimination, vision in lights of normal intensity is difficult.
- A figure (usually a number) is embedded in the picture as a number of spots in a slightly different color, and can be seen with normal color vision, but not with a particular color defect. ...
- Most clinical tests are designed to be fast, simple, and effective at identifying broad categories of color blindness. ...
- The use of Cascading Style Sheets on the world wide web allows pages to be given an alternative color scheme for color-blind readers.
10. Toccata and Fugue in D Minor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- en2.wikipedia.org
- It has been dated to between 1703 and 1707, and would thus be one of Bach's early works.
- In Bach's output of his later years generally the prelude (or whatever preluding movement) would be thematically (i. ...
- The exceptional amount (even for Bach) of fermatas, broken chords and the like in the Toccata and Fugue BWV 565 has been explained by some on the supposition Bach composed it as a work to test an organ: the piece allows to test as well the velocity of the mechanics, as that the air supply installation must be without flaw. ...
- The use of parallel octaves in the opening, otherwise unusual in Bach's music, would be a natural way to give greater weight to a solo violin line. ...
- For those who do believe that Bach was the composer of this work, the fact that Bach was apparently not averse to making violin-to-organ transcriptions could be taken as collateral support for the view that the Toccata is also a transcription of violin music.
- In fact, it was never very clear where the transcription ended, and the Busoni-style composition started (the term "historic interpretation" still had to be invented). ...
- A review by Peter Grahame Woolf of this interpretation can be found here: http://www. ...

- While all this was happening, ARPA and Taylor continued to be interested in creating a computer communication network, in part to allow ARPA-sponsored researchers in various locations to use various computers which ARPA was providing, and in part to quickly make new software and other results widely available.
- One of the participants, Wesley Clark, came up with the idea of using separate smaller computers to manage the communication links; the small computers would then be connected to the large time-sharing main-frame computers. ...
