* Undines ( also known as Nymph ), Water Elemental.

In 18th century Scotland, Undines were also referred to as the wraiths of water.

Undines are said to be able to gain a soul by marrying a man and bearing his child.

The Toledo Yacht Club was founded in 1865 when two rowing clubs, the Undines and the Naiads, joined together and turned their attention to sailing.

Lakes and rivers held their powers too in the form of Nixes and Undines.

According to some legends, Undines cannot get a soul unless they marry a man and bear him a child.

Electret microphones and condenser microphones employ electrostatics — as the sound wave strikes the microphone's diaphragm, it moves and induces a voltage change.

In the classical limit, i. e. at large values of or at small density of states — when wave functions of particles practically do not overlap — both the Bose – Einstein or Fermi – Dirac distribution become the Boltzmann distribution.

Yin and Yang are not antagonistic, they alternate in inverse proportion to one another — like the rise and fall of a wave.

Classical physics draws a distinction between particles and energy, holding that only the latter exhibit waveform characteristics, whereas quantum mechanics is based on the observation that matter has both wave and particle aspects and postulates that the state of every subatomic particle can be described by a wavefunction — a mathematical expression used to calculate the probability that the particle, if measured, will be in a given location or state of motion.

The wave nature of light causes the light waves passing through the two slits to interfere, producing bright and dark bands on the screen — a result that would not be expected if light consisted strictly of particles.

This enables the experimenter to find the position of a particle not when it impacts the screen, but rather, when it passes through the double-slit — did it go through only one of the slits, as a particle would be expected to do, or through both, as a wave would be expected to do?

* Acoustic wave — for natural audio effects

The group velocity of a wave is the velocity with which the overall shape of the waves ' amplitudes — known as the modulation or envelope of the wave — propagates through space.

The latter became as famous as the best-known fourierist communes ( Brook Farm in Massachusetts & the North American Phalanx in New Jersey ) — in fact, Modern Times became downright notorious ( for “ Free Love ”) & finally foundered under a wave of scandalous publicity.

Riding a wave of popularity from the return of the last POWs from Soviet labor camps, as well as an extensive pension reform, Adenauer led the CDU / CSU to the first — and as of 2011, only — outright majority in a free German election.

The second dam — Pļaviņas Hydro Power Plant — aroused an unusual wave of protest in 1958.

To explain stellar aberration in the context of an aether-based theory of light was regarded as more problematic, because it requires that the aether be stationary even as the Earth moves through it — precisely the problem that led Newton to reject a wave model in the first place.

However, a century later, Young and Fresnel revived the wave theory of light when they pointed out that light could be a transverse wave rather than a longitudinal wave — the polarization of a transverse wave ( like Newton's " sides " of light ) could explain birefringence, and in the wake of a series of experiments on diffraction the particle model of Newton was finally abandoned.

In London, women were near the center of the scene — among the initial wave of bands were the female-fronted Siouxsie and the Banshees and X-Ray Spex and the all-female The Slits.

His election campaign benefited from an unprecedented wave of personal popularity called " Trudeaumania " — a term coined by journalist Lubor J. Zink — which saw Trudeau mobbed by throngs of youths.

As the patron of Delphi ( Pythian Apollo ), Apollo was an oracular god — the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle.

) While Rotokas has a small alphabet because it has few phonemes to represent ( just eleven ), Book Pahlavi was small because many letters had been conflated — that is, the graphic distinctions had been lost over time, and diacritics were not developed to compensate for this as they were in Arabic, another script that lost many of its distinct letter shapes.

His fellow students — there were 38 in all — included young Samuel I. Hayakawa ( later to become a Republican member of the U. S. Senate ), Ralph Moriarty deBit ( later to become the spiritual teacher Vitvan ) and Wendell Johnson ( founder of the Monster Study ).

The 21st chapter was omitted from the editions published in the United States prior to 1986 .< ref > Burgess, Anthony ( 1986 ) A Clockwork Orange Resucked in < u > A Clockwork Orange </ u >, W. W. Norton & Company, New York .</ ref > In the introduction to the updated American text ( these newer editions include the missing 21st chapter ), Burgess explains that when he first brought the book to an American publisher, he was told that U. S. audiences would never go for the final chapter, in which Alex sees the error of his ways, decides he has lost all energy for and thrill from violence and resolves to turn his life around ( a slow-ripening but classic moment of metanoia — the moment at which one's protagonist realises that everything he thought he knew was wrong ).

The general consensus amongst scholars is that Luwian was spoken — to a greater or lesser degree — across a large area of western Anatolia, including ( possibly ) Wilusa (= Troy ), the Seha River Land ( to be identified with the Hermos and / or Kaikos valley ), and the kingdom of Mira-Kuwaliya with its core territory of the Maeander valley.

Andy Warhol had two older brothers — Pavol ( Paul ), the oldest, was born in Slovakia ; Ján was born in Pittsburgh.

* Barnard, Henry ( 1852 ), " Tribute to Gallaudet — A Discourse in Commemoration of the Life, Character and Services, of the Rev.

" Arianism " is also often used to refer to other nontrinitarian theological systems of the 4th century, which regarded Jesus Christ — the Son of God, the Logos — as either a created being ( as in Arianism proper and Anomoeanism ), or as neither uncreated nor created in the sense other beings are created ( as in Semi-Arianism ).

He also boasted of having subjugated the " four quarters " — the lands surrounding Akkad to the north ( Assyria ), the south ( Sumer ), the east ( Elam ) and the west ( Martu ).

Revolts broke out during the 9-year reign of his son, Rimush ( 2278 – 2270 BC ), who fought hard to retain the empire — and in the fifteen year reign of Rimush's elder brother, Manishtushu ( 2269 – 2255 BC ).

Alexios I Komnenos, Latinized as Alexius I Comnenus (, 1056 – 15 August 1118 — note that some sources list his date of birth as 1048 ), was Byzantine emperor from 1081 to 1118, and although he was not the founder of the Komnenian dynasty, it was during his reign that the Komnenos family came to full power.

However, his aptitude for sculpture led him to work for Giulio Cesare Conventi ( 1577 — 1640 ), an artist of modest talents.

In reply to this the French sovereign dispatched Andrew as his ambassador to Güyük Khan ; with Longjumeau went his brother William ( also a Dominican ) and several others — John Goderiche, John of Carcassonne, Herbert " Le Sommelier ," Gerbert of Sens, Robert ( a clerk ), a certain William, and an unnamed clerk of Poissy.

On arrival at the supreme Mongol court — either that on the Imyl river ( near Lake Alakol and the present Russo-Chinese frontier in the Altay ), or more probably at or near Karakorum itself, south-west of Lake Baikal — Andrew found Güyük Khan dead, poisoned, as the envoy supposed, by Batu Khan's agents.

Besides them, many smaller systems exist ( tactical ABMs ), that generally cannot intercept intercontinental strategic missiles, even if within range — an incoming ICBM simply moves too fast for these systems.

It is important to note that, while research supports the idea that altruistic acts bring about happiness, it has also been found to work in the opposite direction — that happier people are also kinder.

Anatolia ( from Greek — " east " or "( sun ) rise "; also Asia Minor, from " small Asia "; in modern ) is a geographic and historical term denoting the westernmost protrusion of Asia, comprising the majority of the Republic of Turkey.

Agnosticism is the view that the truth values of certain claims — especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims — are unknown and ( so far as can be judged ) unknowable.

Poirot also bears a striking resemblance to A. E. W. Mason's fictional detective — Inspector Hanaud of the French Sûreté — who, first appearing in the 1910 novel At the Villa Rose, predates the writing of the first Poirot novel by six years.

The term may be also used loosely or metaphorically to denote highly skilled people in any non -" art " activities, as well — law, medicine, mechanics, or mathematics, for example.

The film, which also starred cabaret singer Astrid Hadad and model / actress Claudia Ramírez — with whom Cuarón was linked between 1989 and 1993 — was a big hit in Mexico.

Constantine is believed to have exiled those who refused to accept the Nicean creed — Arius himself, the deacon Euzoios, and the Libyan bishops Theonas of Marmarica and Secundus of Ptolemais — and also the bishops who signed the creed but refused to join in condemnation of Arius, Eusebius of Nicomedia and Theognis of Nicaea.

Between the Cotton Belt and the Tennessee Valley is the mineral region, the Old Land area — a region of resistant rocks — whose soils, also derived from weathering in silu, are of varied fertility, the best coming from the granites, sandstones and limestones, the poorest from the gneisses, schists and slates.

Recent influence of the New Perspective on Paul movement has also reached Arminianism — primarily through a view of corporate election.

A stone block from Mehallet el-Kubra also establishes that his maternal grandmother — Tashereniset's mother — was a certain Tjenmutetj.

* French arpent — also used in Louisiana as length and area unit of measure

The Irish Free State, whose consent to the Abdication Act was also required, neither gave it nor allowed the British legislation to take effect in the Free State's jurisdiction ; instead, the Irish parliament passed its own Act — the Executive Authority ( External Relations ) Act — the day after the Declaration of Abdication Act took force elsewhere, meaning Edward VIII, for one day, remained King of Ireland while George VI was king of all the other realms.

One of the central themes of Acts, indeed of the New Testament ( see also Great Commission ) is the universality of Christianity — the idea that Jesus's teachings were for all humanity — Jews and Gentiles alike.
