electricity plays such an important part in community life today that it is difficult to envision a time when current was not available for daily use.

In the absence of a truly adequate conceptuality in which the gospel can be expressed, the unavoidable need to demythologize it makes use of whatever resources are at hand -- and this usually means one or another of the various forms of `` folk religion '' current in the situation.

When making use of modern cultural divisions in the American Southwest, it is important to comprehend that current terms and conventions have significant limitations:

Mainstream Christianity professes belief in the Nicene Creed, and English versions of the Nicene Creed in current use include the phrase: " We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come ".

Digital ammeter designs use an analog to digital converter ( ADC ) to measure the voltage across the shunt resistor ; the digital display is calibrated to read the current through the shunt.

Other modern picoammeters use log compression and a " current sink " method that eliminates range switching and associated voltage spikes.

At the current time, it is more economical to smelt copper ore rather than to use bioleaching, since the concentration of copper in its ore is in general quite high.

As a result, it is not uncommon for current industry players to gain control of the " watchdog " and use it against competitors.

Modern vacuum tubes use thermionic emission, in which the cathode is made of a thin wire filament which is heated by a separate electric current passing through it.

The use of the term is often found on websites and in books and articles by critics of the current economic situation in a particular country, especially the United States.

The current classification is nomen conservandum, which means the name is authorized for use by the International Botanical Congress ( IBC ).

A file is durable in the sense that it remains available for programs to use after the current program has finished.

Although the present-day, loose use of the term " cyberspace " no longer implies or suggests immersion in a virtual reality, current technology allows the integration of a number of capabilities ( sensors, signals, connections, transmissions, processors, and controllers ) sufficient to generate a virtual interactive experience that is accessible regardless of a geographic location.

The term is not in current use, but is found in many older references.

It is generally believed that current NASCAR owners have agreed never to use the No. 3 in Sprint Cup competition again, although this is not official NASCAR policy.

The current editions also assume, but do not require, the use of miniature figures or markers on a gridded surface.

An uninterruptible power supply may use diodes in this way to ensure that current is only drawn from the battery when necessary.

A broadcaster may opt to use a standard-definition ( SDTV ) digital signal instead of an HDTV signal, because current convention allows the bandwidth of a DTV channel ( or " multiplex ") to be subdivided into multiple digital subchannels, ( similar to what most FM radio stations offer with HD Radio ), providing multiple feeds of entirely different television programming on the same channel.

Jones became the first linguist in the western world to use the term phoneme in its current sense, employing the word in his article The phonetic structure of the Sechuana Language.

He started out in 1989 as a student at the current Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands, where he lived in a typical student house with all the stereotypical side-kicks, such as the fat boy, the beer drinker, the bossy girl who checks if everybody keeps to the house rules, and the tramps who use the heated shared hallway to stay the night.

However, some systems use the reverse definition (" 0 " is " High ") or are current based.

Tax-credit scholarships which are in most part disbursed to current private school students or to families which made substantial donations to the scholarship fund, rather than to low-income students attempting to escape from failing schools, amount to nothing more than a mechanism to use public funds in the form of foregone taxes to support private, often religiously based, private schools.

In current practice, ed is rarely used interactively, but does find use in some shell scripts.

Among them is the DE405 ephemeris in widespread current use.

The financial rand system provided for two exchange rates for the rand, one for current account transactions, and one for capital account transactions for non-residents.

In March 1995, the government of Prime Minister Gyula Horn implemented an austerity program, coupled with aggressive privatization of state-owned enterprises and an export-promoting exchange raw regime, to reduce indebtedness, cut the current account deficit, and shrink public spending.

You can check current exchange rates with graphs of past rates at Google Finance.

The government continues its efforts to raise new sovereign debt in local and international financial markets in order to meet its U. S. dollar debt obligations, to mop up liquidity to maintain the exchange rate and to help fund the current budget deficit.

In 2011, the Burmese government enlisted the aid of International Monetary Fund to evaluate options to reform the current exchange rate system, to stabilize the domestic foreign exchange trading market and creates economic distortions.

The magnetic disturbance may decay within 1 – 3 days as many ions are removed by charge exchange, but the higher energies of the ring current can persist much longer.

A 2008 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that a nuclear weapons exchange between Pakistan and India using their current arsenals could create a near-global ozone hole, triggering human health problems and wreaking environmental havoc for at least a decade.

This BCS theory explained the superconducting current as a superfluid of Cooper pairs, pairs of electrons interacting through the exchange of phonons.

' Staatsolie ', the state-owned oil company, is actively seeking international joint venture partners owned by the Sabajo family since 1978 the company CEO L. G. Sabajo will exchange places with the current C. E. O Marchela Grace once it has been signed over in 2014.

During this time China, a country with large holdings of US dollar foreign exchange reserves, voiced its displeasure at the current international monetary system promoting measures that would allow the SDR to " fully satisfy the member countries ' demand for a reserve currency ".

In 2001, the UN suggested allocating SDRs to developing countries for use by them as cost-free alternatives to building foreign exchange reserves though borrowing or running current account surpluses.

The off-hook circuitry has a low resistance ( less than 300 ohms ) which causes a direct current ( DC ), which comes down the line ( C ) from the telephone exchange.

The exchange detects this current, attaches a digit receiver circuit to the line, and sends a dial tone to indicate readiness.

If the called party's line is available, the exchange sends an intermittent ringing signal ( about 90 volts alternating current ( AC ) in North America and UK and 60 volts in Germany ) to alert the called party to an incoming call.

So, the phone draws no current when it is on hook ( a DC voltage is continually connected to the line ), but exchange circuitry ( D2 ) can send an AC voltage down the line to ring for an incoming call.

) When a landline phone is inactive or " on hook ", the circuitry at the telephone exchange detects the absence of direct current and therefore " knows " that the phone is on hook ( therefore, only AC current will go through ) with only the alerting device electrically connected to the line.

When a party " hangs up ", placing the handset back on the cradle or hook, direct current ceases in that line, signaling the exchange to disconnect the call.

The resulting current is transmitted along the telephone line to the local exchange then on to the other phone ( via the local exchange or via a larger network ), where it passes through the coil of the receiver ( A3 ).

In exchange for Russian support, he agreed to give up any remaining Polish claims to Livonia, and promised to Anna of Russia her choice of successor to the Duchy of Courland, a Polish fief ( of which she had been duchess prior to her ascension to the Russian throne ) which would have otherwise come under direct Polish rule on the death of the current duke, Ferdinand Kettler, who had no heirs.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney offered Susan Atkins a deal that guaranteed they would not seek the death penalty against her for any of the current charges in exchange for her grand jury and trial testimony.
