High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Curse of Ham (also called the curse of Canaan) refers to the curse that Ham's father Noah placed upon Ham's son Canaan, after Ham "saw his father's nakedness" because of drunkenness in Noah's tent. It is related in the Book of Genesis 9:20-27. Some Biblical scholars see the "curse of Canaan" story as an early Hebrew rationalization for Israel's conquest and enslavement of the Canaanites, who were presumed to descend from Canaan. The "curse of Ham" had been used by some members of Abrahamic religions to justify racism and the enslavement of people of Black African ancestry, who were believed to be descendants of Ham. They were often called Hamites and were believed to have descended through...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cush was the eldest son of Ham, brother of Canaan and the father of Nimrod, and Raamah, mentioned in the "Table of Nations" in the Hebrew Bible. The name is usually considered to be the eponym of the people of Kush. According to Genesis, Cush's other sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtecah, names identified by modern scholars with Arabian tribes. Josephus gives an account of the nation of Cush, son of Ham and grandson of Noah: "For of the four sons of Ham, time has not at all hurt the name of Cush; for the Ethiopians, over whom he reigned, are even at this day, both by themselves and by all men in Asia, called Cushites." The rhetorical question "Can the Cushite change his skin?"...

Cyber Monday is a marketing term for the Monday immediately following Black Friday. The term was created by the National Retail Federation and announced in 2005 conjunction with the deployment of their own website CyberMonday.com designed to serve as a portal for Cyber Monday deals and offers. In store shopping continues to dwarf online shopping - the most taken in a single day online was $881 million on December 7, 2007, while Black Friday in 2007 took in $41 billion. Since its inception, critics contend that consumer purchasing habits represent more of a static growth throughout the Christmas and holiday season as opposed to one day in which companies "see any (unusual) traffic" on websites. It has been postulated that through...

Saint Cyril of Alexandria (c. 376 - 444) was the Pope of Alexandria when the city was at its height of influence and power within the Roman Empire. Cyril wrote extensively and was a leading protagonist in the Christological controversies of the later 4th, and 5th centuries. He was a central figure in the First Council of Ephesus in 431, which led to the deposition of Nestorius as Archbishop of Constantinople. Cyril is counted among the Church Fathers and the Doctors of the Church, and his reputation within the Christian world has resulted in his titles Pillar of Faith and Seal of all the Fathers, but Theodosius II, the Roman Emperor, condemned him for behaving like a proud pharaoh, and the Nestorian bishops at the Council of Ephesus...

It is located in Kita-ku, Kyoto, Japan, and originated as a small monastery founded in 1315 or 1319 by the monk Sh?h? My?ch?. In 1325, the monastery was converted into a supplication hall for the imperial court at the request of the retired Emperor Hanazono. The dedication ceremony for the imperial supplication hall, with its newly added dharma hall and abbot's living quarters, was held in 1326, and this is generally recognized as the true founding of the temple.Like many other temples in Kyoto during that time, many of the temple's buildings were destroyed by fire.

A dakini is a tantric deity described as a female embodiment of enlightened energy. In the Tibetan language, dakini is rendered Khandroma which means 'she who traverses the sky' or 'she who moves in space'. Sometimes the term is translated poetically as 'sky dancer' or 'sky walker'.The dakini, in all her varied forms, is an important figure in Tibetan Buddhism. She is so central to the requirements for a practitioner to attain full enlightenment as a Buddha that she appears in a tantric formulation of the Buddhist Three Jewels refuge formula known as the Three Roots. Most commonly she appears as the protector, alongside a guru and yidam, but Judith Simmer-Brown points out that:The dakini, in her various guises, serves as each of the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In Jewish law, damages covers a range of jurisprudential topics that roughly correspond in secular law to torts. Jewish law on damages is grounded partly on the Written Torah, the Hebrew Bible, and partly on the Oral Torah, centered primarily in the Mishnaic Order of Nezikin . Since at least of the time of the Mishnah, Rabbinic culture developed and interpreted the laws of damages through communal courts, judges, and enforcement. While Jewish communities exercised relatively little authority over criminal law in the diaspora, quasi-autonomous communal oversight of damages (tort law) continued to be extensive until the modern era. Today, observant Jews may voluntarily submit themselves to...

Damnation is the concept of ultimate (or severe) condemnation by God, as part of divine punishment (Mark 3:29). A being "in damnation" is said to be either in Hell, or living in a state wherein they are divorced from Heaven. A being who is said to be 'facing damnation' is one who must face the penalty of Hell. Following the religious meaning, the words damn and goddamn are widely used as interjections and are considered profanity by some. In some forms of Western Christian belief, damnation to hell is what humanity deserves for its sins, and only by the grace of God and salvation through Jesus Christ, can one...

Das Aufmerksamkeitsdefizitsyndrom wurde in den letzten Jahren zunehmend diskutiert. Wer kennt sie nicht, die hyperaktiven Kinder, die stets im Mittelpunkt stehen, den Klassenclown spielen, impulsiv und chaotisch sind? Oder Kinder, die zerstreut und vergesslich sind, vor sich hintrodeln und den Tag vertraumen? Obgleich diese Kinder oft unterhaltsam, witzig und auffallend kreativ sind, fuhrt einen der Alltag mit ihnen schnell an die Belastungsgrenze. Selten wird beachtet, wie sehr die Betroffenen selbst unter ihrerm Aufmerksamkeitsdefizitsyndrom leiden, wie schwer es ihnen fallt, mit einer permanenten Reizuberflutung zu leben. Oft wird erst spat das vielfaltige Erscheinungsbild ADS diagnostiziert, was einen langen Leidensweg fur das Kind...

Gemass dem Embryonenschutzgesetz musste das deutsche Stammzellgesetz von 2002 die Gewinnung embryonaler Stammzellen untersagen. Es lasst jedoch den Import embryonaler Stammzellen aus dem Ausland, die vor dem 1. Januar 2002 isoliert wurden, unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen zu. In dieser Form stellt es einen politisch errungenen Kompromiss zwischen Embryonenschutz und Forschungsfreiheit dar. Die Verschiebung des Stichtags im Jahr 2008 auf den 1. Mai 2007 bewies jedoch deutlich die Unhaltbarkeit eines solchen Kompromisses. In diesem Werk wird nach einer biologischen, rechtlichen und ethischen Grundlegung die Entstehung des Gesetzes nachgezeichnet, dabei wird ein Schwerpunkt auf die von Kirche und Offentlichkeit beeinflussten...

Das Kirchenbeitragswesen: eines unter vielen Modellen einer Kirchenfinanzierung – mit Vor- und Nachteilen behaftet, kritisiert von den Einen, gewurdigt von den Anderen. Die kirchliche Vermogensgebarung erfuhr im Laufe der Geschichte eine Reihe von Anderungen. Das in Osterreich seit dem Jahre 1939 in Geltung stehende Kirchenbeitragsgesetz wurde anno dazumal von den nationalsozialistischen Machthabern in kirchenfeindlicher Absicht erlassen – und ist trotz erfolgter Rechts- und Verfassungsuberleitung und Berichtigung aller 'politisch untragbaren Vorschriften' bis heute Bestandteil der osterreichischen Rechtsordnung. Grund genug fur die Autorin, dieses osterreichische System der Kirchenfinanzierung unter die Lupe zu nehmen und im...

In der vorliegenden Schrift wird anhand der Theorieentwicklung S. Freuds gezeigt, wie sich die padagogische Figur der heilsamen Krankung in das 20. Jahrhundert fortsetzt. Es ist sicherlich ein Gemeinplatz, dass die psychoanalytische Theorie und Praxis - in der Tradition der Dezentrierungen von N. Kopernikus und C. Darwin - die Menschen wesentlich gekrankt haben soll, indessen, dass und inwiefern sie auch als eine Fortsetzung der Idee des Heils zu interpretieren ist, wurde bislang weniger verfolgt. Diese Arbeit versucht daher, den Heilsanspruch der Psychoanalyse nicht zuruckzustellen, sondern stattdessen zu erweisen, wie darauf bezogen der Krankungsanspruch der Psychoanalyse systematisch zu entfalten ist. Durch detailierte Analysen der...

In der Theologie und Praxis der Ukrainischen Griechisch-Katholischen Kirche (UGKK) wird die Busse als ein osterliches Sakrament vermittelt. Die UGKK will ihrer Enstammungstradition treu bleiben und die Identitat einer Ostkirche bewahren. Anderseits haben die geschichtlich-gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen scholastischen Einfluss auf den Formprozess ihres theologischen Denkens und somit auch auf das Bussverstandnis ausgeubt. Es scheint dabei eine doppelte Losung berechtigt zu sein. Erstens, es wird der „klassische“ Verlauf der Beichte bzw. der Beichtritus mit den folgenden Schritten wie Gewissenserforschung, Bekenntnis der Sunden, Reue, Auferlegung der Busse und Dankgebet dargestellt. Diese einzelnen Schritte werden als ein Prozess...

The Bible is a compilation of various texts or "books" of different ages. The dates of many of the texts of the Hebrew Bible are difficult to establish. Textual criticism places all of them within the 1st millennium BC, although there is considerable uncertainty as to the century in some cases. The oldest surviving Hebrew Bible manuscripts date to about the 2nd century BC, the oldest record of the complete text survives in Greek translation, dating to the 4th century and the oldest extant manuscripts of the vocalized Masoretic text upon which modern editions are based date to the 9th century. The individual books of the New Testament may be dated with some confidence to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The earliest fragment of the New...
