702 | "Alexander Campbell (clergyman)"
Alexander Campbell (clergyman) Alexander Campbell (12 September 1788 – 4 March 1866) was a Scots-Irish immigrant who became an ordained minister in the United States and joined his father Thomas Campbell as a leader of a reform effort that is historically known as the Restoration Movement, and by some as the ""Stone-Campbell Movement."" It resulted in the development of non-denominational Christian churches, which stressed reliance on scripture and few essentials. Campbell was influenced by similar efforts in Scotland, in particular, by James and Robert Haldane, who emphasized their interpretation of Christianity as found in the New Testament. In 1832, the |
703 | "Alexander Campbell (clergyman)"
group of reformers led by the Campbells merged with a similar movement that began under the leadership of Barton W. Stone in Kentucky. Their congregations identified as Disciples of Christ or Christian churches. Several American church groups have historical roots in the Campbells' efforts, including the Churches of Christ, the Christian churches and churches of Christ, and Evangelical Christian Church in Canada, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Alexander Campbell also founded Bethany College in what became Bethany, West Virginia. Alexander Campbell was born 12 September 1788 near Ballymena, in the parish of Broughshane, County Antrim, Ireland. His parents were |

This service has since been moved to the less distant Connemara Airport and operates as ""Aer Arann Islands"". As of 2015 it still used Islander aircraft. The turning point for the airline was in 1994 when Pádraig Ó Céidigh and Eugene O'Kelly purchased the airline. Ó Céidigh and O'Kelly began to expand the airline's routes and fleet, launching scheduled services in 1998.

710 | "The Exploited"
street punk and Originally playing street punk and oi!, The Exploited became a crossover thrash band with their album ""Death Before Dishonour"". The Exploited's influences include Sex Pistols and Johnny Moped. The Exploited has been controversial for their aggressive lyrics and rowdy gigs. They were considered ""cartoon punks"" by Ian Glasper. Glasper wrote: ""For many, The Exploited were the quintessential second wave punk band with their senses-searing high-speed outbursts against the system, and wild-eyed frontman Walter 'Wattie' Buchan's archetypal orange mohican."" The Exploited are known for their lyrics about anarchy, politics and anti-authority. In a 1983 interview, The Exploited said |
711 | "The Exploited"
that they were not a political band, but their lyrics became political in the late 1980s and Wattie Buchan said in the documentary ""Punk's Not Dead"" that punk is defined by its politics. As a band with lyrics that have anarchist themes, The Exploited's vocalist Wattie Buchan is an anarchist and openly hates politics. The Exploited have made songs about former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and have expressed a disdainful view towards Thatcher. The Exploited's song ""Maggie"", a song from the band's album ""Horror Epics"", is about Thatcher. The Exploited's third studio album, ""Let's Start a War... (Said Maggie |
712 | "The Exploited"
One Day)"", focuses on Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands War. Other topics of the album are police-driven riots, war, unemployment and hopelessness. Many songs from the mid-80s focus on the threat of nuclear war. The fans of The Exploited were nicknamed ""the Barmy Army"". During the rivalry between The Exploited and Conflict, there were occasional clashes with fans of Conflict, known as ""the Conflict Crew"". In addition to the anti-social behaviour of the band and some of their fans, The Exploited would often pull out of gigs at short notice in the 1980s, which led many venues to refuse to |
713 | "The Exploited"
work with them. After the 1981 Southall riot, Oi! bands in general became associated with racism, and The Exploited were sometimes believed to be a racist band because of Wattie's swastika tattoo, an incident in the early '80s where Wattie fought with a group of Asians in a cafe and in 1985 when ""Deptford John"" joined from the skinhead band Combat 84. The band has denied all accusations of racism. As of August 2017, the band's website contains a history of the band that mentions some of the problems that have accompanied their gigs, such as a riot after a |

He grew up in Brewton, Alabama and attended Auburn University. Lovelace spent most of the 1920s at a Detroit banking/brokerage firm, developing his investment research techniques and earning impressive results. In 1924, he became a partner in E.E. MacCrone. By 1929, before the stock market crash, he could see no logical relationship between stock market prices and their underlying values, so he sold his interest in the firm, took his investments out of the market and moved to California. |

Ra, but news stories indicate he went by Corky Ra. Summum religious practices draw upon both Ancient Egyptian religion and the Hebrew prophet Moses. Summum's philosophy stems from what it considers to be principles of nature that cannot be attributed to any person. These principles flower in different forms and were outlined before in the writings of ""The Kybalion"" first published in 1908. But Summum, considering ""The Kybalion"" incomplete and antiquated, rewrote the book after it entered the public domain. The new derivative work utilized a more modern language and incorporated the new information said to have been presented by |
717 | Summum
Ra to the Summa Individuals. Included in that information is an explanation and description of how creation came about. The rewrite resulted in a book published by Summum entitled ""SUMMUM: Sealed Except to the Open Mind"", and it provides an outline of the group's philosophy. The basis of the philosophy is the ""Grand Principle of Creation"" that states, ""Nothing and Possibility come in and out of bond infinite times in a finite moment"". The principle of creation generates the totality of existence which the Summum philosophy refers to as ""SUMMUM"", and from this master principle emanate ""Seven Summum Principles"" known |

George Harrison (Yorkshire cricketer) George Puckrin Harrison, also known as ""Shoey"" because he was a shoemaker by trade (11 February 1862 – 14 September 1940) was an English first-class cricketer who played fifty-nine first-class matches for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1883 and 1892. He also appeared in first-class cricket for the Players (1883), T Emmett's XI (1883), Lord Sheffield's XI (1884), An England XI (1884) and L Hall's Yorkshire XI (1891). Born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England, Harrison began his career on 3 May 1883 at Lord's for Colts of the North against Colts of the South where as an |

unknown 21-year-old he obtained nine of eleven wickets – all clean bowled – for fourteen runs. Harrison consequently came straight into a strong Yorkshire eleven when he dismissed Monkey Hornby in the first innings, and bowled out Lord Harris for 2 in the second. Harrison soon became regarded as the fastest bowler seen for some time in first-class cricket, and in only his third first-class match against Kent he took eleven for 76 and bowled unchanged through both innings with Ted Peate. With the aid of a number of very fiery pitches in Yorkshire and at Old Trafford, Harrison took |

wickets for 38 against Gloucestershire on a good wicket, but by 1886 it was clear that the strain of bowling at his former pace was damaging his arm. Harrison played only twice for Yorkshire that year, bowling eight wicketless four-ball overs, and moved to league cricket, Bowling Old Lane C.C., and Idle C.C. (where he took 215 wickets at 9.15 each over three seasons). Harrison did briefly reappear against Warwickshire (not then first-class) and Cheshire in 1887, but broke down when showing promise of his early form (which would have been tremendously valuable in such a dry season as 1887). |

It was not until late 1890 that Harrison, now adjusted to bowling at a much reduced pace, returned to first-class county cricket, doing so dramatically with ten for 100 against County Champions Surrey allowing Yorkshire to win after following-on, and then ten for 109 against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). Harrison bowled regularly for Yorkshire in 1891 but his record was moderate, and lost his place to a young George Herbert Hirst (already a much better batsman even going in late) the following season. Between 1892 and 1898, Harrison returned to Bowling Old Lane C.C., for whom from 1883 to 1898 |

According to Liu Wenjing himself, his ancestors were from Pengcheng (彭城, in modern Xuzhou, Jiangsu), but later moved to the Chang'an region. His grandfather Liu Yi (劉懿) was a provincial governor during Northern Zhou. His father Liu Shao (劉韶) served in the army of the succeeding Sui Dynasty and died in battle.

Tokugawa Hidetada Tokugawa Hidetada was born to Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Lady Saigō on May 2, 1579. This was shortly before Lady Tsukiyama, Ieyasu's official wife, and their son Tokugawa Nobuyasu were executed on suspicion of plotting to assassinate Oda Nobunaga, who was Nobuyasu's father-in-law and Ieyasu's ally. By killing his wife and son, Ieyasu declared his loyalty to Nobunaga. In 1589, Hidetada's mother fell ill, her health rapidly deteriorated, and she died at Sunpu Castle. Later Hidetada with his brother, Matsudaira Tadayoshi, was raised by Achaa no Tsubone, one of Ieyasu's concubines. His childhood name was Chomaru (長丸) later |

become Takechiyo (竹千代). The traditional power base of the Tokugawa clan was Mikawa. In 1590, the new ruler of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi enlisted Tokugawa Ieyasu and others in attacking the domain of the Hōjō in what became known as the Siege of Odawara (1590). Hideyoshi enlisted Ieyasu for this campaign by promising to exchange the five provinces under Ieyasu's control for the eight Kantō provinces, including the city of Edo. In order to keep Ieyasu from defecting to the Hōjō side (since the Hōjō and the Tokugawa were formerly on friendly terms), Hideyoshi took the eleven-year-old Hidetada as a hostage. |

There has been much discussion in the past about character weighting. Most authorities now weight all characters equally, although exceptions are common. For example, allele frequency data is sometimes pooled in bins and scored as an ordered character.
