| ARTICLES RELATED TO A.D. | | | |  A.D.: Encyclopedia II - Pop-up ad - Variation: Floating AdA form of advertisement that combines elements of a pop-up and web banner. It is a Flash animation superimposed over a webpage in a transparent layer. The flash animation links to the advertiser's site or product. This is a new form of advertisement, created in response to the growing popularity of pop-up blockers. Because the advertisement is an embedded flash object, it can be blocked, but with more difficulty, as most programs would view it as part of the content of the page. Methods of removing these are by u ...

| | | | | A.D.: Encyclopedia II - Pop-up ad - Background For early advertising-supported web sites, banner ads were sufficient revenue generators, but in the wake of the dot com crash, prices paid for banner advertising clickthroughs decreased and many vendors began to investigate more effective advertising methods. Pop-up ads by their nature are difficult to ignore or overlook, and are claimed to be more effective than static banner ads. Pop-ups have a much higher click rate than web banner ads do (abou ...

| | | | | | A.D.: Encyclopedia II - Nur ad-Din - Legacy According to William of Tyre, although Nur ad-Din was “a mighty persecutor of the Christian name and faith,” he was also “a just prince, valiant and wise, and according to the traditions of his race, a religious man.” Nur ad-Din was especially religious after his illness and his pilgrimage. He considered the crusaders foreigners in Muslim territory, who had come to Outremer to plunder the land and profane its sacred places. Nevertheless, he was tolerant of the Christians who lived under his authority, aside from the Armenians of Edes ...

2000 AD comic - The 1970s.
In December 1975, Kelvin Gosnell, a sub-editor at IPC Magazines, read an article in the London Evening Standard about a wave of forthcoming science fiction films, and suggested that the company might get on the bandwagon by launching a science fiction comic. IPC asked Pat Mills, a freelance writer and editor who had created Battle Picture Weekly and Action, to develop it. Mills brought fellow freelancer John Wagner on board as script adviser and the pair began to d ...

| | | | | | A.D.: Encyclopedia II - 2000 AD comic - Overview 2000AD serialises a number of separate stories each "prog" (see glossary, below) and was first published by IPC Magazines in 1977, the first issue dated 26 February. IPC, later Fleetway, continued to produce the title until 1999, when it was bought by Rebellion Developments. Due in part to its weekly publication schedule, it is one of only a few comics to surpass 1000 issues.
It has been a successful launchpad for getting United Kingdom talent into the larger American comics market, and has also been the source of a number of f ...

| | | | | A.D.: Encyclopedia II - 2000 AD comic - Fanzines 2000AD has an extremely lively and thriving fanbase, which has produced a number of independent fanzines. In 1998 W.R. Logan, frustrated at the lack of activity from the comic's publishers both in promoting the title and also in making best use of new talents, decided to create an independent title using 2000AD copyrighted characters and situations. This was titled Class of '79, marking the coming of age of the generation that had bought 2000AD on its original release. The first couple of issues contained work from now-professional co ...

| | | | | A.D.: Encyclopedia II - Argumentum ad populum - Explanation The argumentum ad populum is a red herring and genetic fallacy. It is logically fallacious because the mere fact that a belief is widely held is not necessarily a guarantee that the belief is correct; if the belief of any individual can be wrong, then the belief held by multiple persons can also be wrong.
This fallacy is similar in structure to certain other fallacies that involve a confusion between the justification of a belief and its widespread acceptance by a given group of people. When an argument uses the appeal t ...

1000 Yen of miso soup is produced by a chef using pots, pans, and a stove, converting 500 Yen tofu and other ingredients. The chef and his or her tools are the "factors of production," while the tofu (and the other ingredients, ignored here) are the intermediate goods used up and converted into part of the soup.
The tofu used was converted using 200 Yen of soy beans. The soy beans are the raw material used up a ...

| | | | | A.D.: Encyclopedia II - Argumentum ad populum - Exceptions Appeal to belief is only valid when the question is whether the belief exists. Appeal to popularity is therefore only valid when the questions are whether or not the belief is widespread and to what degree.
Argumentum ad populum - Democracy.
The "correctness" of electoral processes lies in the prior acceptance by the electorate that the outcome of an election shall be enacted no matter what it is.

Since 88% of the people polled believed in UFOs, they must exist.
It is sometimes committed when trying to convince a person that widely unpopular theories are false.
It's silly for you to claim that Hitler would not have attacked the United States if they hadn't entered World War II. Everyone knows that he planned to conquer the world.

Nur ad-Din was the second son of Imad ad-Din Zengi, the atabeg of Aleppo and Mosul, who was a devoted enemy of the crusader presence in Syria.

| | | | | A.D.: Encyclopedia II - Nur ad-Din - Unification of the Muslim kingdom It was Nur ad-Din's dream to unite the various Muslim forces between the Euphrates and the Nile to make a common front against the crusaders. In 1149 Saif ad-Din Ghazi died, and a younger brother, Qutb ad-Din, succeeded him. Qutb ad-Din recognized Nur ad-Din as overlord of Mosul, so that the major cities of Mosul and Aleppo were united under one man. Damascus was all that remained as an obstacle to the unification of Syria.
After the failure of the Second Crusade, Mu'in ad-Din had renewed his treaty with the crusaders, and after his d ...

| | | | | A.D.: Encyclopedia II - Nur ad-Din - Death and succession During this time Nur ad-Din was busy in the north, fighting the Ortoqids, and in 1170 he had to settle a dispute between his nephews when his brother Qutb ad-Din died. After conquering Egypt, Nur ad-Din believed that he had accomplished his goal of uniting the Muslim states, but Saladin did not wish to be subject to his authority. He did not participate in the invasions led by Nur ad-Din against Jerusalem in 1171 and 1173, hoping that the crusader kingdom would act as a buffer state between Egypt and Syria. Nur ad-Din realized that he had created a dangerous opponent in Saladin, and the two rulers assembled the ...

That year, Mu'in ad-Din besiged Banias with help from King Fulk of Jerusalem and Prince Raymond of Antioch; Mu'in ad-Din offered 20 000 pieces of gold per month to pay for their expenses. When it was captured, Mu'in ad-Din handed it over to Fulk and returned to Damascus. A more thorough alliance, to protect Damascus against Zengi, was negotiated during a visit by Mu'in ad-Din to Jerusalem ...
