It was due rather to two causes: the umbrage taken at his position as head of an army whose interference in political affairs gave even more offence than the financial burdens it imposed on a people unaccustomed to regular taxation ; and the reaction which set in against the spiritual claims of that Puritanism of which he had become the mouthpiece ….

So far as the reaction was not directed against militarism, it was directed against the introduction into the political world of what appeared to be too high a standard of morality, a reaction which struck specially upon Puritanism, but which would have struck with as much force upon any other form of religion which, like that upheld by Laud, called in the power of the State to enforce its claims.

He claims that our natural reaction to situations of moral significance are explained by empathy.

He claims that he feels sick at heart, but dismisses this reaction as an effect of the dampness of the catacombs.

Even the mention of this creates a strong reaction from Ellis, who claims he would rather “ die in the ditch ” before belonging to the same club as a native.

El Fadl claims that the Salafi methodology " drifted into stifling apologetics " by the mid-20th century, a reaction against " anxiety " to " render Islam compatible with modernity ," by its leaders earlier in the century.

In reaction to this press release from TV3, RTÉ rebutted their claims stating that RTÉ One outdoes TV3 in far more demographic categories and that TV3's press release, " In terms of the selective audiences focussed upon by TV3 in their release, it's clear this is a recent phenomenon and only pertains to a narrow sub-demographic of young viewers in this country.

The reaction from some Trotskyists in Britain was to give such support to Argentina when war broke out, ignoring historical claims to the islands or the question of who began the war.

There a rumours, which are probably not reliable, which claims that Kádár visited Rákosi to tell him about his reaction to the execution.

PETA claims foxes and other animals suffer equally and may even cannibalize each other as a reaction to their crowded confinement.

Tolkien and in reaction to a handful of writers he claims exploit Tolkien's milieu and the readers ' imaginations with derivative, commercial fantasy:

The book also claims that the U. S .- led invasion of Iraq was not a reaction to the attacks of September 11, but was instead a campaign in the planning stages ever since Bush took office, with potential oil spoils charted in early documents.

As a reaction to claims by a German exile group Preussische Treuhand, which represents post-1945 German expellees from Eastern Europe, the Polish Foreign Minister Fotyga mistakenly threatened to reopen a 1990 Treaty fixing the Oder and Neisse rivers as the border between the two countries instead of the Neighborhood Treaty signed in the same year.

In the preface of the collection, Capote claims to have suffered a drug and alcohol-induced nervous breakdown in 1977, at which point he ceased working on his highly anticipated follow-up to In Cold Blood, Answered Prayers, portions of which had elicited a riotous reaction in the jet set when excerpted in Esquire magazine throughout 1975 and 1976.

Fearing the reaction of her extremely strict mother, Connie lies to her and claims she had been assaulted by someone on her high school's baseball team, the Gotham Hawks.

In late 1912 Abderhalden's " defensive ferments reaction test " was applied to the differential diagnosis of dementia praecox from other mental diseases and from normals by Stuttgart psychiatrist August Fauser ( 1856 – 1938 ), and his miraculous claims of success were soon replicated by researchers in Germany and particularly in the United States.

The European Commission often claims such stories are invented by the media, while Eurosceptics argue such stories are often true, and that hostile media reaction has caused an unpopular policy to be abandoned.

Though these numbers seem to promote the claims that proximal PIE or BICEPS treatment is generally effective at reducing the effects of combat stress reaction, other data suggests that long term PTSD effects may result from the hasty return of effected individuals to combat.

Cavett's reaction to this is contested-he claims that both he and Hammill realized immediately that something was wrong, while other accounts have him addressing the unconscious man with " Are we boring you, Mr. Rodale?

He claims that the only way a man can be harmed by others is to allow his reaction to overpower him.

The response of reaction is dominated by a concern for what is vanishing.

The most reaction can achieve is stasis, and a stasis that can be maintained only by the expenditure of an effort which ultimately exhausts itself.

When the reactionary response is thus bolstered by an intellectual defense, the characteristics of that defense are explicable only in terms of the basic attitudes of unanalyzed reaction.

She describes, first, the imaginary reaction of a foreigner puzzled by this `` unseasonable exultation '' ; ;

Hanoverian agents assisted in promoting circulation, said to have reached 40,000, and if one may judge by the reaction of Swift and other government writers, the work must have had considerable impact.

In each city quick public reaction and fast action by the city government halted the threats of more serious incidents.

Representatives of Harvard University Press, which is publishing the book this month of April, recognize and freely acknowledge that they invited such reaction by allowing Life magazine to print an excerpt from the book in advance of the book's publication date.

The small reaction occurring at 337-degrees-C is probably caused by decomposition of occluded nitrates, and perhaps by a small amount of some hydrous material other than Af.

The rate of the gas phase exchange reaction appears to be proportional to the first power of the absorbed light intensity indicating that the radical intermediates are removed at the walls or by reaction with an impurity rather than by bimolecular radical combination reactions.

Furthermore, the exchange would not be expected to be sensitive to trace amounts of impurities because it would not be apt to be a chain reaction since the activation energy for abstraction of chlorine by a chlorine atom would be expected to be too high ; ;

The contents of the manifold for liquid phase experiments were then mixed by shaking, redistributed to the reaction tubes, frozen down, and each tube was then sealed off.

The photochemical reaction cells consisted of 10 mm. i.d. Pyrex tubing, 5.5 cm. long, diffraction effects being minimized by the fact that the light passed through only liquid-glass interfaces and not gas-glass interfaces.

The light was filtered by the soft glass window of the thermostat thus ensuring that only light absorbed by the chlorine and not by the carbon tetrachloride could enter the reaction cell.

In the liquid phase runs the amount of carbon tetrachloride in each reaction tube was determined by weighing the tube before opening and weighing the fragments after emptying.

Following observation of the fact that the reaction rates of supposedly identical reaction mixtures prepared on the same filling manifold and exposed under identical conditions often differed by several hundred per cent, a systematic series of experiments was undertaken to see whether the difficulty could be ascribed to the method of preparing the chlorine, to the effects of oxygen or moisture or to the effect of surface to volume ratio in the reaction tubes.

It was possible to make estimates of the quantum yield by observing the extent of reduction of a uranyl oxalate actinometer solution illuminated for a known time in a typical reaction cell and making appropriate conversions based on the differences in the absorption spectra of uranyl oxalate and of chlorine, and considering the spectral distribution of the light source.

In series 1, the relative light intensity was varied by varying the distance of the lamp from the reaction cell over the range from 14.7 to 29.2 cm..
