For example, in Burma and Ceylon many Buddhists argue that Buddhism ought to be the official state religion.

For many years, Austria had a special form of the language for official government documents.

For most speakers ( even native speakers ), this form of the language is generally difficult to understand, as it contains many highly specialised terms for diplomatic, internal, official, and military matters.

There are many official terms that differ in Austrian German from their usage in most parts of Germany.

Before the enactment of the metric system, many countries in Europe used their own official acres.

There are also immigrants from other countries such as Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Morocco, many of whom are under illegal alien status and therefore are not accounted for in official population figures.

The first was the late 7th century Deuteronomistic reform of official Judean religion under king Josiah, who banned many elements of the old polytheistic cult from the Temple, and the sudden collapse of Assyria and the rise of Babylon to take its place ; the second was exile of the royal court, the priests and other members of the ruling elite following the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem c. 586 BCE.

Lloyd George and the Conservative leader Andrew Bonar Law wrote a joint letter of support to candidates to indicate they were considered the official Coalition candidates – this " coupon " as it became known was issued against many sitting Liberal MPs, often to devastating effect, though not against Asquith himself.

When he openly left Octavian's sister, Octavia Minor, and moved to Alexandria to become Cleopatra's official partner, he led many Roman politicians to believe that he was trying to become the unchecked ruler of Egypt and of other eastern kingdoms, while still maintaining his command over the many Roman legions in the East.

It will often have some influence over any official or mandated exchange rates: Some exchange rates are managed, some are market based ( free float ) and many are somewhere in between (" managed float " or " dirty float ").

Present in many countries in every continent, every year Capoeira attracts to Brazil thousands of foreign students and, often, foreign capoeiristas work hard to learn the official Brazilian language, Portuguese, in an effort to better understand and become part of the art.

Before there was an official standard for C, many users and implementors relied on an informal specification contained in a book by Ritchie and Brian Kernighan ; that version is generally referred to as " K & R " C. In 1989 the American National Standards Institute published a standard for C ( generally called " ANSI C " or " C89 ").

Just as Claudius had criticized his predecessors in official edicts ( see below ), Nero often criticized the deceased Emperor and many of Claudius ' laws and edicts were disregarded under the reasoning that he was too stupid and senile to have meant them.

Church official Philip G. Davis noted that the administration and Colonnade buildings had not been fully used for many years and that vacancy increased after staff reductions in 2004.

However, the official attendances can be considered somewhat dubious in this era as many fans would get in by climbing over the fence from Bishops Park into the Putney End.

Daran Little, for many years the official programme archivist, claims that the first episode to be transmitted in colour was episode 930 shown on 24 November 1969.

Although no official membership figures are published, the Columbia Encyclopedia gives an estimated figure of 50, 000 Christadelphians, who are spread across approximately 120 countries ; there are established churches ( or ecclesias, as they are often called ) in many of those countries, along with isolated members.

Their official status in Israel was an ongoing issue for many years, but in May 1990, the issue was resolved with the issuing of first B / 1 visas, and a year later, issuing of temporary residency.

The Emperor pressured Eritrea ’ s elected chief executive to resign, made Amharic the official language in place of Arabic and Tigrinya, terminated the use of the Eritrean flag, imposed censorship, and moved many businesses out of Eritrea.

Some of the many achievements under Empress Suiko's reign include the official recognition of Buddhism by the issuance of the Flourishing Three Treasures Edict in 594.

Auguste and Louis Lumière invented the cinématographe and their L ' Arrivée d ' un train en gare de La Ciotat in Paris in 1895 is considered by many historians as the official birth of cinematography.

Scholars made numbered sets of as many things as possible in Nature, or assigned arbitrary numbers to individual things, in a fashion that seems to the modern scientific mind as downright nonsensical, and philosophical ideas based upon all this tended to stifle speculative thought in China for many centuries.

These axioms are sufficient for many proofs in elementary mathematical analysis, and are consistent with some principles, such as the Lebesgue measurability of all sets of reals, that are disprovable from the full axiom of choice.

** Any union of countably many countable sets is itself countable.

Among his compositions written for the chapels needs were two complete sets of vespers, many graduals, offertories, and four orchestral masses.

Since 1967 there have been many matches between Australian Football teams ( mainly from Australia ) and Gaelic football teams ( mainly from Ireland ), under various sets of hybrid, compromise rules known as International rules football.

" It ends in death, and sets the stage for an album populated by rogues, con men, outcasts, gamblers, gunfighters and desperados, many of them with nothing to lose, some of them out of their minds, all of them quintessentially American.

In this case, is the smallest σ-algebra that contains the open intervals of R. While there are many Borel measures μ, the choice of Borel measure which assigns for every interval is sometimes called " the " Borel measure on R. In practice, even " the " Borel measure is not the most useful measure defined on the σ-algebra of Borel sets ; indeed, the Lebesgue measure is an extension of " the " Borel measure which possesses the crucial property that it is a complete measure ( unlike the Borel measure ).

Their machine instruction sets favored one or many high level programming languages, such as ALGOL, COBOL or FORTRAN.

Using the language of category theory, many areas of mathematical study can be cast into appropriate categories, such as the categories of all sets, groups, topologies, and so on.

Some sets are infinite ; these sets have more than n elements for any integer n. For example, the set of natural numbers, denotable by, has infinitely many elements, and we cannot use any normal number to give its size.

Specifically, a topological space is compact if, whenever a collection of open sets covers the space, some subcollection consisting only of finitely many open sets also covers the space.

Slightly more generally, any space with a finite topology ( only finitely many open sets ) is compact ; this includes in particular the trivial topology.

Most radios and television sets prior to the 1970s used filament-heated-cathode electron tubes for signal selection and processing ; to this day, a hot cathode forms the source of the electron beam ( s ) in cathode ray tubes in many television sets and computer monitors.

Before the RISC philosophy became prominent, many computer architects tried to bridge the so called semantic gap, i. e. to design instruction sets that directly supported high-level programming constructs such as procedure calls, loop control, and complex addressing modes, allowing data structure and array accesses to be combined into single instructions.

Alternatively, domino sets have been made from many different natural materials: stone ( e. g., marble, granite or soapstone ); other hardwoods ( e. g., ash, oak, redwood and cedar ); metals ( e. g., brass or pewter ); ceramic clay, or even frosted glass or crystal.

Modern commercial domino sets are usually made of synthetic materials, such as ABS or polystyrene plastics, or Bakelite and other phenolic resins ; many sets approximate the look and feel of ivory while others use colored or even translucent plastics to achieve a more contemporary look.

However, this is a relatively small number especially when playing with more than four people, so many domino sets are " extended " by introducing ends with greater numbers of spots, which increases the number of unique combinations of ends and thus of pieces.

Both logarithmic and trigonometric functions, functions commonly used by both navigators and scientists, can be approximated by polynomials, so a difference engine can compute many useful sets of numbers.
