Instead of looking at musical forms of the 18th century, Respighi, who, in addition to being a renowned composer and conductor, was also a notable musicologist, reached back to Italian music of the 16th and 17th century.
|
Malipiero's relation with ancient Italian music was not simply aiming at a revival of antique forms within the framework of a "return to order", but an attempt to revive an approach to composition that would allow the composer to free himself from the constraints of the sonata form and of the over-exploited mechanisms of thematic development.

Igor Stravinsky's first foray into the style began in 1919/20 when he composed the ballet Pulcinella, using themes which he believed to be by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (it later came out that many of them were not, though they were by contemporaries).

History The stochastic matrix was developed alongside the Markov chain by Andrey Markov, a Russian mathematician and professor at St. Petersburg University who first published on the topic in 1906.
|
Thus, each row of a right stochastic matrix (or column of a left stochastic matrix) is a stochastic vector.
|
A common convention in English language mathematics literature is to use row vectors of probabilities and right stochastic matrices rather than column vectors of probabilities and left stochastic matrices; this article follows that convention.
|
His initial intended uses were for linguistic analysis and other mathematical subjects like card shuffling, but both Markov chains and matrices rapidly found use in other fields.
|
Stochastic matrices were further developed by scholars like Andrey Kolmogorov, who expanded their possibilities by allowing for continuous-time Markov processes.

author
|
However, unlike Boccaccio, Milton or Ariosto, Dante did not really become an author read across Europe until the Romantic era.
|
Publishing in the vernacular language marked Dante as one of the first in Roman Catholic Western Europe (among others such as Geoffrey Chaucer and Giovanni Boccaccio) to break free from standards of publishing in only Latin (the language of liturgy, history and scholarship in general, but often also of lyric poetry).
|
This break set a precedent and allowed more literature to be published for a wider audience, setting the stage for greater levels of literacy in the future.
|
To the Romantics, Dante, like Homer and Shakespeare, was a prime example of the "original genius" who set his own rules, created persons of overpowering stature and depth, and went far beyond any imitation of the patterns of earlier masters; and who, in turn, could not truly be imitated.
|
Throughout the 19th century, Dante's reputation grew and solidified; and by 1865, the 600th anniversary of his birth, he had become established as one of the greatest literary icons of the Western world.

If the offstage players are in an adjoining hallway or room behind the stage area, they may not be able to see the conductor or hear the orchestra.
|
Performing offstage music that has to be in synchronization with a larger ensemble on the stage involves potential problems with rhythm and pitch, because a difference of even a part of a second or a fraction of a semitone of pitch will be noticeable to the audience.
|
If the conductor wants a truly muted and distant sound, the offstage players need to be behind the stage or in an adjoining hall, not merely standing in the wings of the stage.
|
Even if they can hear the orchestra, their perception of the pitch and timing may be affected by the distance and refraction of the sound.
|
If trumpet or French horn players attempt to tune their notes by ear to the orchestra pitch that they hear, their pitch may sound flat to the audience and conductor even if it is "correct" to the trumpeter or French hornists' ear, because a brass instrument's pitch varies over a long distance, and thus may sound flat in comparison to the orchestra.

Scenes involving sliding mirrors and unsupported staircases appear during character introspections in The Rose of Versailles, while in Utena very similar scenes are part of the surreal landscape.
|
However, director Ikuhara has denied this on several occasions, including the director's commentary on the final DVD Finale of the American release.

Terayama was a long-time collaborator with J. A. Seazer, who wrote the music for his plays.

In 1607, the playwright Edward Sharpham in his play The Fleire included a reference to "Maister Oscabath the Irishman ... and Maister Shamrough his lackey".
|
It is notable that there is no mention anywhere in these writings of St. Patrick or the legend of his using the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
|
However, there are two possible references to the custom of "drowning the shamrock" in "usquebagh" or whiskey.
|
Later, a 1630 work entitled Sir Gregory Nonsence by the poet John Taylor contains the lines: "Whilste all the Hibernian Kernes in multitudes, /Did feast with shamerags steeved in Usquebagh."

Link to St. Patrick Traditionally, shamrock is said to have been used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity when Christianising Ireland in the 5th century.

In 1638, the playwright Thomas Heywood published his comedy, The Wise Woman of Hogsdon, whilst in 1684 another playwright, Edward Ravenscroft, published his own play about a cunning woman.
|
Their views however were not supported by the general population, who continued to see a distinct difference between witchcraft and cunning craft, with the witch-hunter John Stearne, an associate of Matthew Hopkins, remarking that whilst he and Hopkins wanted to prosecute the cunning folk, they could not because "men rather uphold them, and say, why should any man be questioned for doing good."
|
Meanwhile, the idea of the cunning folk began to appear in the literature of the period.
|
With the decline in the witch trials in the latter part of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, partly due to the rise of the Enlightenment amongst the educated elite, a new law was introduced, the Witchcraft Act of 1736.
|
Unlike earlier laws, this did not accept the existence of magic, and was designed to be used to prosecute those who claimed magical powers as being fraudulent; it could therefore be very damaging to the cunning profession.

In 1648, the Welsh philosopher Thomas Vaughan published his Anthroposophia Theomagica, or a discourse of the nature of man and his state after death.
|
The first known use of the term anthroposophy occurs within Arbatel de magia veterum, summum sapientiae studium, a book published anonymously in 1575 and attributed to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa.
|
The work describes anthroposophy (as well as theosophy) variously as an understanding of goodness, nature, or human affairs.
|
The term began to appear with some frequency in philosophical works of the mid- and late-nineteenth century.
|
In the early part of that century, Ignaz Troxler used the term "anthroposophy" to refer to philosophy deepened to self-knowledge, which he suggested allows deeper knowledge of nature as well.

Whereas terror is a feeling of dread that takes place before an event happens, horror is a feeling of revulsion or disgust after an event has happened.

Babbage developed some two dozen programs for the Analytical Engine between 1837 and 1840, and one program later.
|
These programs treat polynomials, iterative formulas, Gaussian elimination, and Bernoulli numbers.

In 1843, the description was translated into English and extensively annotated by Ada Lovelace, who had become interested in the engine eight years earlier.

History The Russian botanist Konstantin Mereschkowski first outlined the theory of symbiogenesis (from Greek: σύν syn "together", βίος bios "life", and γένεσις genesis "origin, birth") in his 1905 work, The nature and origins of chromatophores in the plant kingdom, and then elaborated it in his 1910 The Theory of Two Plasms as the Basis of Symbiogenesis, a New Study of the Origins of Organisms.
|
Mereschkowski knew of the work of botanist Andreas Schimper, who had observed in 1883 that the division of chloroplasts in green plants closely resembled that of free-living cyanobacteria, and who had himself tentatively proposed (in a footnote) that green plants had arisen from a symbiotic union of two organisms.

Ivan Wallin advocated the idea of an endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria in the 1920s.

While nurture-oriented anthropologists are more inclined to agree with Mead's conclusions, there are other non-anthropologists who take a nature-oriented approach following Freeman's lead, such as the Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, the biologist Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary psychologist David Buss, the science writer Matt Ridley, and the classicist Mary Lefkowitz.
|
The philosopher Peter Singer has also criticized Mead in his book A Darwinian Left, where he states that "Freeman compiles a convincing case that Mead had misunderstood Samoan customs".
|
Orans point out that Freeman's basic criticisms, that Mead was duped by ceremonial virgin Fa'apua'a Fa'amu, who later swore to Freeman that she had played a joke on Mead, were equivocal for several reasons.
|
Mead was well aware of the forms and frequency of Samoan joking, she provided a careful account of the sexual restrictions on ceremonial virgins that corresponds to Fa'apua'a Fa'auma'a's account to Freeman, and Mead's notes make clear that she had reached her conclusions about Samoan sexuality before meeting Fa'apua'a Fa'amu.

In 2004, an R-rated director's cut of Daredevil was released, reincorporating approximately 30 minutes of the film, and received significantly more acclaim from critics than the theatrical version.
|
Nevertheless, the film became the second-biggest February release to that time and grossed over $180 million against a production budget of $78 million.
|
A spin-off sequel film, Elektra, was released in 2005 to critical and commercial failure.

A sequel was planned, but because of Elektras failure, it was canceled.

Plot As a child, young Matt Murdock is accidentally blinded by toxic chemicals shortly after witnessing his father—washed-up prizefighter Jack "The Devil" Murdock—extorting money for local mobster Fallon.

In 2004, the writer Erling Fossen gathered 356 signatures in favor of extending the line to the ski resort, which were given to the Oslo City Council.
|
Reopening In 1993, proposals were made to re-open the line to Tryvandshøiden Station, so that the Tryvann Ski Resort would be more accessible to Oslo residents.
|
Oslo Sporveier, the operator, turned down the proposals, arguing that it would cost about 3 billion NOK to lay the tracks and put up overhead line equipment, and that it would not attract enough passengers.
|
Even though the proposal was supported by the prominent council members Peter N. Myhre, Ola Elvestuen and Rune Gerhardsen, Oslo Sporveier declined, stating that the extension of the line would not be profitable enough.
|
Peter N. Myhre stated in 2008 that the line would be extended to the ski resort before the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2011, but no action was taken as neither Ruter nor the city council wanted to allocate the required 150 million NOK.

In 2005, Australian historian and politician Michael Organ had examined a print of the film in the National Film Archive of New Zealand.
|
The reconstruction of the film with the new footage was once again accompanied by the original music score, including Huppertz's handwritten notes, which acted as the key resource in determining the places in which the restored footage would go.
|
Since the Argentinian print was a complete version of the original, some scenes from the 2001 restoration were put in different places than previously, and the tempo of the original editing was restored.
|
Organ discovered that the print contained scenes missing from other copies of the film.
|
After hearing of the discovery of the Argentine print of the film and the restoration project, Organ contacted the German restorers; the New Zealand print contained 11 missing scenes and featured some brief pieces of footage that were used to restore damaged sections of the Argentine print.

Farey conjectured, without offering proof, that each new term in a Farey sequence expansion is the mediant of its neighbours.

Farey's letter was read by Cauchy, who provided a proof in his Exercices de mathématique, and attributed this result to Farey.

Alexander of Abonoteichus may have exhibited glossolalia during his episodes of prophetic ecstasy.

Neoplatonist philosopher Iamblichus linked glossolalia to prophecy, writing that prophecy was divine spirit possession that "emits words which are not understood by those that utter them; for they pronounce them, as it is said, with an insane mouth (mainomenό stomati) and are wholly subservient, and entirely yield themselves to the energy of the predominating God."
|
Celsus describes prophecies made by several Christians in Palestine and Phoenicia of which he writes, "Having brandished these threats they then go on to add incomprehensible, incoherent, and utterly obscure utterances, the meaning of which no intelligent person could discover: for they are meaningless and nonsensical, and give a chance for any fool or sorcerer to take the words in whatever sense he likes."
