After returning to Damascus in July of 1149, Mu'in ad-Din "ate a hearty meal, as was his usual custom, and was seized thereafter by a loosening of the bowels...From this resulted in the disease known as dysentery..." The emir died on August 28 and was buried in the university he had established in the city. As he had been acting as regent for Mujir ad-Din, the latter took his place as the rightful heir of Damascus. Mujir ad-Din was a weak ruler, however, and by 1154 Nur ad-Din was ful ...

The film takes place in a somewhat dystopian New York City in the year 2095 where genetically altered humans live side-by-side with unaltered men and women, and where Central Park has been mysteriously encased in an "intrusion zone" where men who attempt to enter are instantly killed. A strange pyramid has appeared over the city; inside, the gods of ancient Egypt are judging Horus, one of their fellow gods, who has a man's body but the head of a falcon. In the city below, Jill, a young woman with blue hair is arrested. Not completely human, ...

In the Sitwell-Walton Façade there are several poems such as the Aubade (from Sitwell’s ‘Bucolic Comedies’) and Tarantella (never formally published by Sitwell) that do not feature in her published edition of Façade. As the performing version frequently recited in public, and recorded for the gramophone, by Dame Edith included the Tarantella it must be assumed that she did not require the musi ...

In the 1970s, Walton released some further numbers, under the title ‘Façade Revived’, later revising, dropping and adding numbers, as Façade II.

He embraced the developing tale that Saint Martial, the 3rd century bishop who Christianized the Limoges district, had actually lived centuries earlier, and was in fact one of the original apostles. And he supplemented the less than scanty documentation for the alleged 'apostolicity' of Martial, first with a forged Life of Martial, as if composed by Martial's successor, Bishop Aurelian. To effect this claim, he composed an "Apostolic Mass" that still exists in Adémar's own hand (Paris Bibliotheque Nationale MS Latin 909), maki ...

In 1148 news reached Damascus of a new crusade, called in response to Zengi's capture of Edessa in 1145. Mu'in ad-Din prepared for the inevitable siege, although he had hoped his former alliance with Jerusalem could be restored and that the crusade would attack some other city. When the crusaders arrived in July, according to Ibn al-Qalanisi, Mu'in ad-Din "distinguished himself in combat with them, and displayed a valour, steadfastness and gallantry such as was never seen in any other, never wearying in repelling them nor taking respite from ...

A fallacious logical argument based on argumentum ad baculum generally has the following argument form: If x does not accept that P, then Q. Q is a threat or attack on x. Therefore, P is true. This form of argument is a logical fallacy, because the attack Q may not necessarily reveal anything about the truth value of the premise P. This fallacy has been identified since the Middle Ages by many philosophers. This is a special case of < ...

Khair ad Din (Khairuddin Abdul Rahman) was one of four brothers: Ishaq, 'Aruj, Ilias and Khidr, who were born in the 1470s on the island of Lesbos (Λέσβος) to their father, Yakup, and a Christian mother, Katalina, said to be the widow of a Christian priest. Some sources make Yakup a Sipahi, i.e. a feudal cavalry 'knight', while others make him a Janissary from Vardar. The four brothers initially worked as sailors, and privateers in the Mediterranean to counteract the privateering of the Knights of St. John of the Island o ...

A similar but non-logical argument has roughly the following form: If x does not accept that P, then Q. Q is a threat or attack on x. Therefore, x should accept P to avoid Q. This is not a logical argument in the technical sense since the conclusion uses non-logical or quasi-logical words such as "should" and does not answer whether P is true. Instead, this is a suggestion that one can benefit from a belief or apparent-belief in P, even if P is logically false. Whether such a ...

In the late 1990s, she was controversially ordained into the Independent Catholic group known as the Latin Tridentine Church, by Irish Bishop Michael Cox, in disregard for the prohibition on the ordination of women within Roman Catholicism. As a result she was automatically excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. Bishop Cox contacted her to offer ordination following her appearance on the RTÉ's Late Late Show, during which she told the presenter, Gay Byrne, that had she not been a singer, she would have wished to have been a Catholic priest. After her service of ordination, she indicated that she wis ...

VAT differs from a conventional sales tax in that VAT is levied on every business as a fraction of the price of each taxable sale they make, but they are in turn reimbursed VAT on their purchases, so the VAT is applied to the value added to the goods at each stage of production. Sales taxes are normally only charged on final sales to consumers: because of reimbursement, VAT has the same overall economic effect on final prices. The main difference is the extra accounting required by those in the middle of the supply chain ...

It is important to note that the above examples, while valid if one assumes the quantity demanded for a good being taxed does not decrease, is not valid in real world circumstances. The fundamentals of Supply and Demand suggest that any tax raises the cost of transaction for someone, be it the seller or purchaser. In raising their cost, either the demand curve shifts leftward, or the supply curve shifts rightward. The two are functionally equivalent. Consequently, the quantity of a good purchased, and/or the price for which it ...

A common VAT system is compulsory for member states of the European Union. The EU VAT system is imposed by a series of European Union directives, the most important of which is the Sixth VAT Directive (Directive 77/388/EC).

The Transoxiana principalities never formed a viable confederacy. Beginning in 651 AD, the Arabs organized periodic marauding raids deep into the territory of Transoxania, but it was not until the appointment of Ibn Qutaiba as Governor of Khorasan in 705 AD, during the reign of Walid I, that the Caliphate adopted the policy of annexing the lands beyond the Oxus. In 715 AD the task of annexation was accomplished. The entire region thus came under the control of the Caliph and of Islam, but the Arabs continued to rule through local Soghdian Ki ...
