His scholarship was, however, quickly criticized by Reverend John Taylor Perry of Cincinnati. He showed that all sources Graves used were Freethought texts, which in turn had synthesised random, mis-understood and half-digested pieces of mis-information. Graves constructed from this a theory that religion was concocted by priests and made up of superstition and myth. This belief was consistent with the movement in Royal Arch Freemasonry then to revive Gn ...

Sir Gustav Graves is a sophisticated, sarcastic and, even according to Graves himself, arrogant business man. His official story is that he is an orphan who worked in diamond mines in Argentina; from there, he discovered a great mine of diamonds in Iceland and made a huge fortune. With that fortune, Graves develops Icarus, a big satellite which could take solar energy and focus it, "gently", over the Earth, supposedly putting an end to weather inconvenience and poverty, helping the harvests and so on. The presentation of Icarus is held at the outside of an ice castle in ...

It was used as a quarry for constructions until 1748, when two farmers discovered a 3.25 metre long cist, with a north-south orientation, construced by ten slabs of stone. They dug it out, hoping to find a treasure in the grave. Soon rumour had it that the two men had found a great treasure in the grave and the authorities had the men arrested. However, the two men denied having found anything, and as no evidence could be provided against them, they were released. Several years passed until it was discovered that the slabs of stone were adorned with petroglyphs, and a long series of speculations had begun. Still, the quarrying c ...

In the Japanese title of the movie the word hotaru (firefly) is written not with its usual kanji 蛍 but with the two kanji 火 (hi, fire) and 垂 (tareru, to dangle down, as a droplet of water about to fall from a leaf). This is intended to evoke images of fireflies as droplets of fire and also of the rain of fire which destroyed Kobe. Japanese nouns do not change to form plurals, so hotaru can refer to one firefly or many. It may be that Setsuko is the "firefly" of the title. If so, the title can be interpreted as A Grave for a Firefly. Or to maintain the lack of distinct ...

Medical treatment of Graves disease includes antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine and thyroidectomy (surgical excision of the gland). Graves-Basedow disease - Antithyroid drugs. The main antithyroid drugs are methimazole (US), carbimazole (UK) and propylthiouracil (PTU). These drugs block the binding of ioding and coupling of iodotyrosines. The most dangerous side-effect is agranulocytosis (1/250, more in PTU); this is an idiosyncratic reaction which does not stop on cessation of drug). Others include gra ...

Taking place towards the end of World War II in Japan, Grave of the Fireflies is the poignant tale of the relationship between two orphaned children - Seita and his younger sister Setsuko. The children lose their mother in the firebombing of Kobe, and their father in service to the Imperial Japanese Navy, and as a result they are forced to try to survive amidst widespread famine and the callous indifference of their countrymen (some of whom are their own extended family members). Ultimately both children die of starvation, and the graphic nature of their suffering ...

The grave accent is used in English only in poetry and song lyrics. It indicates that a vowel usually silent is to be pronounced, in order to fit the rhythm or meter. Most often, it is applied to a word ending with -ed. For instance, the word looked is usually pronounced as a single syllable, with the e silent; when written as lookèd, the e is pronounced—look-ed. It can also be used in this capacity to distinguish certain pairs of identically spelled words like the past tense of learn, l ...

Ljunggren (1983) suggests that the Persian physician Sayyid Ismail Al-Jurjani should be credited with recognising the disease, having noted the association of goitre and exophthalmos, in "Thesaurus of the Shah of Khwarazm", the most famous of his five books, and the major medical dictionary of its time. Caleb Hillier Parry (1755-1822) first noted the clinical picture in 1786, and it is reported in his posthumous collection of unpublished writings in 1825. It was also described by the Italians Giuseppe Flajani (1741-1808) in 1802 and A ...

Most features are due to the production of autoantibodies that bind to the TSH receptor, which is present on the follicular cells of the thyroid (the cells that produce thryoid hormone). These antibodies activate the cells in the same fashion as TSH itself, leading to an elevated production of thyroid hormone. The infiltrative opthalmopathy (thyroid eye disease) that is frequently encountered has been explained by ...

On the basis of the signs and symptoms, thyroid hormone (thyroxine or T4, triiodothyronine or T3) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are determined in the medical laboratory. Free T4 and Free T3 is markedly elevated, while TSH is suppressed due to negative feedback. An elevated protein-bound iodine level may be detected. A large goiter is sometimes seen on X-rays. Thyroid-stimulating antibodies may be detected serologically. ...

As a military-minded leader , one of Simcoe's major works after founding York was the construction of several roads connecting York to various larger towns in Upper Canada. The Kingston Road runs along the north shore of Lake Ontario to Kingston about 260 km to the east. The Dundas Road, named after Simcoe's friend Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, starts on the Lake Ontario shoreline running northwest, but soon bends westward to its namesake near Hamilton.
