  1. DVB-H Lack of acceptance 1  At the NAB show in

    April 2012, Peter Siebert of Europe's DVB Project Office said DVB-H did not succeed because so few were available, mainly because content producers would not subsidize them. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  2. DVB-H Lack of acceptance 1  The competing technologies - like

    MediaFLO in the US - did not have any success, new sales were terminated in December 2010 and the allocated spectrum sold to AT&T. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  3. DVB-H Lack of acceptance 1  These 1st generation transmissions protocols

    are not very spectrum efficient, but the fatal problem seems to be the lack of business model for mobile-TV. Very few have been willing to pay for the services. Even with a free mobile-tv signal, the daily use was often just a few minutes. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  4. DVB-H Lack of acceptance 1  The Dutch KPN is an

    example. KPN quote lack of receiving , but even when KPN's service was initially free the average daily use was a mere 9 minutes pr phone having a DVB-H receiver. (TV is typically watched 2–3 hours per day) https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  5. DVB-H Lack of acceptance 1  The 4G/LTE which soon will

    be standard in all smartphones. 4G/LTE is already being used in many countries and will very likely be able to provide the needed capacity for mobile-TV within most peoples download maximum (Max GigaBytes). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  6. DVB-H Lack of acceptance 1  4G/LTE has the potential of

    efficient multicast, which can increase the spectrum efficiency in broadcast type application to within a factor of maybe two compared to the newest (e.g. DVB-T2/ T2Lite) broadcast protocols. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  7. Binary blob Acceptance 1  Some projects try to create a

    free operating system, and will not accept binary blobs if they cannot get documentation for hardware or source code for device drivers. Such projects include NetBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, and some GNU/Linux distributions. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  8. Binary blob Acceptance 1  The OpenBSD project has a notable

    policy of not accepting any binary blobs into its source tree, citing not only the potential for undetectable or irreparable security flaws, but also the encroachment onto the openness and freedom of its software. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  9. Binary blob Acceptance 1  The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is

    actively campaigning against binary blobs. It also considers OpenBSD's policy flawed, as 'blobs' in the BSD community refer to what it considers non-free drivers, and not non-free firmware. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  10. Binary blob Acceptance 1  The Debian project included both free

    and non-free binary firmware blobs from the Linux kernel, clearly marking and separating the non-free packages according to the Debian Social Contract. As of Debian 6.0 those blobs were removed. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  11. Binary blob Acceptance 1  For OpenBSD, project leader Theo de

    Raadt defends the policy of only asking for distribution rights for microcode firmware blobs. "Once they are distributed... at least the device works." Implying that the alternative would be for the members of his small project to code free firmware themselves in the assembly language of many chipsets, he pleads "don't load us up with more tasks." Despite this he favours chipsets that run without firmware and speaks warmly of Asian designs which he describes as slower to market but more mature. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  12. Binary blob Acceptance 1  In the Linux kernel development community,

    Linus Torvalds has made strong statements on the issue of binary-only modules, asserting: "I refuse to even consider tying my hands over some binary-only module", and continuing: "I want people to know that when they use binary-only modules, it's THEIR problem". In 2008, 176 Linux kernel developers signed a Position Statement on Linux Kernel Modules that stated "We, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source Linux kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable... We have repeatedly found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and the greater Linux ecosystem." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  13. A/B testing Acceptance 1  Many companies use the "designed experiment"

    approach to making marketing decisions, with the expectation that relevant sample results can improve positive conversion results. It is an increasingly common practice as the tools and expertise grows in this area. There are many A/B testing case studies which show that the practice of testing is increasingly becoming popular with small and medium-sized businesses as well. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  14. Fashion blog - Mainstream media acceptance of fashion blogging 1 

    An  increasing  number  of  fashion  bloggers   were  invited  to  designers'  fashion  shows  in   2006  compared  to  previous  years.  Large   adver>sers  like  H&M  and  Gap  have  bought   adver>sing  on  fashion  blogs,  and  other  large   companies  like  the  underwear-­‐maker  Jockey   are  targe>ng  fashion  blogs  in  their  PR  efforts.   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  15. Fashion blog - Mainstream media acceptance of fashion blogging 1 

    Fashion blogging is also now regarded as worthy of mainstream media coverage. The reference list below shows the very high caliber of media publication that have written about fashion blogs. These publications include the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fast Company and the Sydney Morning Herald. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  16. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Opponents of quackery have

    suggested several reasons why quackery is accepted by patients in spite of its lack of effectiveness: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  17. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Those who perpetuate quackery

    may do so to take advantage of ignorance about conventional medical treatments versus alternative treatments, or may themselves be ignorant regarding their own claims. Mainstream medicine has produced many remarkable advances, so people may tend to also believe groundless claims." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  18. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Medicines or treatments known

    to have no pharmacological effect on a disease can still affect a person's perception of their illness, and this belief in its turn does indeed sometimes have a therapeutic effect, causing the patient's condition to improve. This is not to say that no real cure of biological illness is effected— though we might describe a placebo effect as being "all in the mind"", we now know that there is a genuine neurobiological basis to this phenomenon. People report reduced pain, increased well-being, improvement, or even total alleviation of symptoms. For some, the presence of a caring practitioner and the dispensation of medicine is curative in itself. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  19. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Certain "self-limiting conditions", such

    as warts and the common cold, almost always improve, in the latter case in a rather predictable amount of time. A patient may associate the usage of alternative treatments with recovering, when recovery was inevitable. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  20. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Distrust  of  conven>onal  medicine

      https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  21. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Many people, for various

    reasons including the risk of side effects, have a distrust of conventional medicines (or of the regulating organizations themselves such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the major drug corporations)." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  22. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Anti-quackery activists ("quackbusters") are

    accused of being part of a huge "conspiracy" to suppress "unconventional" and/or "natural" therapies, as well as those who promote them. It is alleged that this conspiracy is backed and funded by the pharmaceutical industry and the established medical care system – represented by the AMA, FDA, ADA, CDC, WHO, etc. – for the purpose of preserving their power and increasing their profits. In the case of chiropractic, the case for a conspiracy was supported by a court decision in an antitrust lawsuit, Wilk v. American Medical Association, ruling that the AMA had engaged in an unlawful conspiracy in restraint of trade "to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  23. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  A great variety of

    pharmaceutical medications can have very distressing side effects, and many people fear surgery and its consequences, so they may opt to shy away from these mainstream treatments. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  24. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  There are some people

    who simply cannot afford conventional treatment, and seek out a cheaper alternative. Nonconventional practitioners can often dispense treatment at a much lower cost. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  25. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  People with a serious

    or terminal disease, or who have been told by their practitioner that their condition is "untreatable," may react by seeking out treatment, disregarding the lack of scientific proof for its effectiveness, or even the existence of evidence that the method is ineffective or even dangerous. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  26. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Once a person has

    endorsed or defended a cure, or invested time and money in it, they may be reluctant to admit its ineffectiveness, and therefore recommend the cure that did not work for them to others. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  27. Quackery - Presence and acceptance 1  Some practitioners, fully aware

    of the ineffectiveness of their medicine, may intentionally produce fraudulent scientific studies and medical test results, thereby confusing any potential consumers as to the effectiveness of the medical treatment. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  28. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  ISO/IEC 15504

    has been successful as: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  29. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  ISO/IEC 15504

    is publicly available through National Standards Bodies. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  30. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  It has

    the support of the international community. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  31. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  Major sectors

    are leading the pace such as automotive, space and medical systems with industry relevant variants. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  32. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  Domain-specific models

    like Automotive SPICE and SPICE 4 SPACE can be derived from it. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  33. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  There have

    been many international initiatives to support take-up such as SPiCE for small and very small entities. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  34. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  On the

    other hand, ISO/IEC 15504 has not yet been as successful as the CMMI. This has been for several reasons: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  35. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  ISO/IEC 15504

    is not available as free download but must be purchased from the ISO (Automotive SPICE on the other hand can be freely downloaded from the link supplied below.) CMM and CMMI are available as free downloads from the SEI website. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  36. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  The  CMMI

     is  ac>vely   sponsored  (by  the  US   Department  of  Defense).   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  37. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  The CMM

    has subsequently been replaced by the CMMI, which incorporates many of the ideas of ISO/ IEC 15504, but also retains the benefits of the CMM. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  38. ISO/IEC 15504 - Acceptance of ISO/IEC 15504 1  Like the

    CMM, ISO/IEC 15504 was created in a development context, making it difficult to apply in a service management context. But work has started to develop an ISO/IEC 20000-based process reference model (ISO/IEC 20000-4) that can serve as a basis for a process assessment model. This is planned to become part 8 to the standard (ISO/IEC 15504-8). In addition there are methods available that adapt its use to various contexts. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  39. Software testing - Acceptance testing 1  A smoke test is

    used as an acceptance test prior to introducing a new build to the main testing process, i.e. before integration or regression. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  40. Software testing - Acceptance testing 1  Acceptance testing performed by

    the customer, often in their lab environment on their own hardware, is known as user acceptance testing (UAT). Acceptance testing may be performed as part of the hand-off process between any two phases of development. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  41. Technology acceptance model 1  The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is

    an information systems theory that models how users come to accept and use a technology. The model suggests that when users are presented with a new technology, a number of factors influence their decision about how and when they will use it, notably: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  42. Technology acceptance model 1  Perceived usefulness (PU) - This was

    defined by Fred Davis as "the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would enhance his or her job performance". https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  43. Technology acceptance model 1  Perceived ease-of-use (PEOU) - Davis defined

    this as "the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would be free from effort" (Davis 1989). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  44. Technology acceptance model 1  The TAM has been continuously studied

    and expanded-the two major upgrades being the TAM 2 (Venkatesh & Davis 2000 & Venkatesh 2000) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (or UTAUT, Venkatesh et al. 2003). A TAM 3 has also been proposed (Venkatesh & Bala 2008). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  45. Technology acceptance model - History 1  TAM replaces many of

    TRA’s attitude measures with the two technology acceptance measures— ease of use, and usefulness https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  46. Technology acceptance model - History 1  Because new technologies such

    as personal computers are complex and an element of uncertainty exists in the minds of decision makers with respect to the successful adoption of them, people form attitudes and intentions toward trying to learn to use the new technology prior to initiating efforts directed at using. Attitudes towards usage and intentions to use may be ill-formed or lacking in conviction or else may occur only after preliminary strivings to learn to use the technology evolve. Thus, actual usage may not be a direct or immediate consequence of such attitudes and intentions. (Bagozzi, Davis & Warshaw 1992)" https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  47. Technology acceptance model - History 1  Earlier research on the

    diffusion of innovations also suggested a prominent role for perceived ease of use. Tornatzky and Klein (Tornatzky & Klein 1982) analysed the adoption, finding that compatibility, relative advantage, and complexity had the most significant relationships with adoption across a broad range of innovation types. Eason studied perceived usefulness in terms of a fit between systems, tasks and job profiles, using the terms "task fit" to describe the metric (quoted in Stewart 1986) https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  48. Technology acceptance model - Usage 1  Several researchers have replicated

    Davis’s original study (Davis 1989) to provide empirical evidence on the relationships that exist between usefulness, ease of use and system use (Adams, Nelson & Todd 1992; Davis 1989; Hendrickson, Massey & Cronan 1993; Segars & Grover 1993; Subramanian 1994; Szajna 1994). Much attention has focused on testing the robustness and validity of the questionnaire instrument used by Davis. Adams et al. (Adams 1992) replicated the work of Davis (Davis 1989) to demonstrate the validity and reliability of his instrument and his measurement scales. They also extended it to different settings and, using two different samples, they demonstrated the internal consistency and replication reliability of the two scales. Hendrickson et al. (Hendrickson, Massey & Cronan 1993) found high reliability and good test-retest reliability. Szajna (Szajna 1994) found that the instrument had predictive validity for intent to use, self-reported usage and attitude toward use. The sum of this research has confirmed the validity of the Davis instrument, and to support its use with different populations of users and different software choices. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  49. Technology acceptance model - Usage 1  Segars and Grover (Segars

    & Grover 1993) re- examined Adams et al.’s (Adams, Nelson & Todd 1992) replication of the Davis work. They were critical of the measurement model used, and postulated a different model based on three constructs: usefulness, effectiveness, and ease-of- use. These findings do not yet seem to have been replicated. However, some aspects of these findings were tested and supported by Workman (Workman 2007) by separating the dependent variable into information use versus technology use. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  50. Technology acceptance model - Usage 1  Mark Keil and his

    colleagues have developed (or, perhaps rendered more popularisable) Davis’s model into what they call the Usefulness/ EOU Grid, which is a 2×2 grid where each quadrant represents a different combination of the two attributes. In the context of software use, this provides a mechanism for discussing the current mix of usefulness and EOU for particular software packages, and for plotting a different course if a different mix is desired, such as the introduction of even more powerful software (Keil, Beranek & Konsynski 1995). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  51. Technology acceptance model - Usage 1  Venkatesh  and  Davis  extended

     the  original   TAM  model  to  explain  perceived  usefulness   and  usage  inten>ons  in  terms  of  social   influence  and  cogni>ve  instrumental   processes.  The  extended  model,  referred  to  as   TAM2,  was  tested  in  both  voluntary  and   mandatory  seUngs.  The  results  strongly   supported  TAM2  (Venkatesh  &  Davis  2000).   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  52. Technology acceptance model - Usage 1  In an attempt to

    integrate the main competing user acceptance models, Venkatesh et al. formulated the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). This model was found to outperform each of the individual models (Adjusted R square of 69 percent) (Venkatesh et al. 2003). UTAUT has been adopted by some recent studies in healthcare. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  53. Technology acceptance model - Usage 1  Independent of TAM, Scherer

    (Scherer 1986) developed the Matching Person & Technology Model in 1986 as part of her National Science Foundation-funded dissertation research. The MPT Model is fully described in her 1993 text (Scherer 2005, 1st ed. 1993), "Living in the State of Stuck," now in its 4th edition. The MPT Model has accompanying assessment measures used in technology selection and decision-making, as well as outcomes research on differences among technology users, non-users, avoiders, and reluctant users. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  54. Technology acceptance model - Criticisms 1  TAM has been widely

    criticised, despite its frequent use, leading the original proposers to attempt to redefine it several times. Criticisms of TAM as a "theory" include its questionable heuristic value, limited explanatory and predictive power, triviality, and lack of any practical value. (Chuttur 2009) Benbasat and Barki suggest that TAM "has diverted researchers’ attention away from other important research issues and has created an illusion of progress in knowledge accumulation. Furthermore, the independent attempts by several researchers to expand TAM in order to adapt it to the constantly changing IT environments has lead [sic] to a state of theoretical chaos and confusion" (Benbasat & Barki 2007). In general TAM focuses on the individual 'user' of a computer, with the concept of 'perceived usefulness', with extension to bring in more and more factors to explain how a user 'perceives' 'usefulness', and ignores the essentially social processes of IS development and implementation, without question where more technology is actually better, and the social consequences of IS use. For a recent analysis and critique of TAM see Bagozzi (Bagozzi 2007). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  55. Publishing - Acceptance and negotiation 1  Once a work is

    accepted, commissioning editors negotiate the purchase of intellectual property rights and agree on royalty rates. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  56. Publishing - Acceptance and negotiation 1  The authors of traditional

    printed materials typically sell exclusive territorial intellectual property rights that match the list of countries in which distribution is proposed (i.e. the rights match the legal systems under which copyright protections can be enforced). In the case of books, the publisher and writer must also agree on the intended formats of publication — mass-market paperback, "trade" paperback and hardback are the most common options. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  57. Publishing - Acceptance and negotiation 1  The  situa>on  is  slightly

     more  complex,  if  electronic   formaUng  is  to  be  used.  Where  distribu>on  is  to  be  by  CD-­‐ ROM  or  other  physical  media,  there  is  no  reason  to  treat   this  form  differently  from  a  paper  format,  and  a  na>onal   copyright  is  an  acceptable  approach.  But  the  possibility  of   Internet  download  without  the  ability  to  restrict  physical   distribu>on  within  na>onal  boundaries  presents  legal   problems  that  are  usually  solved  by  selling  language  or   transla>on  rights  rather  than  na>onal  rights.  Thus,  Internet   access  across  the  European  Union  is  rela>vely  open   because  of  the  laws  forbidding  discrimina>on  based  on   na>onality,  but  the  fact  of  publica>on  in,  say,  France,  limits   the  target  market  to  those  who  read  French.   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  58. Publishing - Acceptance and negotiation 1  Having agreed on the

    scope of the publication and the formats, the parties in a book agreement must then agree on royalty rates, the percentage of the gross retail price that will be paid to the author, and the advance payment. This is difficult because the publisher must estimate the potential sales in each market and balance projected revenue against production costs. Royalties usually range between 10–12% of recommended retail price. An advance is usually 1/3 of first print run total royalties. For example, if a book has a print run of 5000 copies and will be sold at $14.95 and the author is to receive 10% royalties, the total sum payable to the author if all copies are sold is $7475 (10% x $14.95 x 5000). The advance in this instance would roughly be $2490. Advances vary greatly between books, with established authors commanding large advances. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  59. False advertising - Acceptance by default 1  This refers to

    a contract or agreement where no response is interpreted as a positive response in favor of the business. An example of this is where a customer must explicitly "opt-out" of a particular feature or service, or be charged for that feature or service. Another example is where a subscription automatically renews unless the customer explicitly requests it to stop. This is even conducted when the customer may have specified a specific length of subscription up front, that is then exceeded and renewed without notification to the customer." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  60. V-Model (software development) - User acceptance testing 1  Acceptance testing

    is the phase of testing used to determine whether a system satisfies the requirements specified in the requirements analysis phase. The acceptance test design is derived from the requirements document. The acceptance test phase is the phase used by the customer to determine whether to accept the system or not. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  61. V-Model (software development) - User acceptance testing 1  to enable

    the customer to determine whether to accept the system or not. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  64. Photojournalism - Acceptance by the art world 1  Since the

    late 1970s, photojournalism and documentary photography have increasingly been accorded a place in art galleries alongside fine art photography. Luc Delahaye, Manuel Rivera-Ortiz and the members of VII Photo Agency are among many who regularly exhibit in galleries and museums. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  65. Acceptance testing 1  In engineering and its various subdisciplines, acceptance

    testing is a test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met. It may involve chemical tests, physical tests, or performance tests. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  66. Acceptance testing 1  In systems engineering it may involve black-box

    testing performed on a system (for example: a piece of software, lots of manufactured mechanical parts, or batches of chemical products) prior to its delivery. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  67. Acceptance testing 1  Software developers often distinguish acceptance testing by

    the system provider from acceptance testing by the customer (the user or client) prior to accepting transfer of ownership. In the case of software, acceptance testing performed by the customer is known as user acceptance testing (UAT), end-user testing, site (acceptance) testing, or field (acceptance) testing. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  68. Acceptance testing - Overview 1  Testing generally involves running a

    suite of tests on the completed system. Each individual test, known as a case, exercises a particular operating condition of the user's environment or feature of the system, and will result in a pass or fail outcome. There is generally no degree of success or failure. The test environment is usually designed to be identical, or as close as possible, to the anticipated user's environment, including extremes of such. These test cases must each be accompanied by test case input data and/or a formal description of the operational activities to be performed. The intentions are to thoroughly elucidate the specific test case and description of the expected results. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  69. Acceptance testing - Overview 1  As the user stories pass

    their acceptance criteria, the business owners can be reassured the developers are progressing in the right direction. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    The acceptance test suite is run against the supplied input data or using an acceptance supplied input data or using an acceptance test script to direct the testers. Then the test script to direct the testers. Then the results obtained are compared with the results obtained are compared with the expected results. If there is a correct match expected results. If there is a correct match for every case, the test suite is said to pass. If not, the system may either be rejected or accepted on conditions previously agreed https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

It is not system testing (ensuring software does not crash and meets documented requirements), but rather is there to ensure that the solution will work for the user i.e. test the 'user accepts' the solution (software vendors often refer to as Beta testing). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  200. Acceptance test - User acceptance testing 1  User tests, usually

    performed by clients or by end-users, do not normally focus on identifying simple problems such as spelling errors and cosmetic problems, nor Software bug|showstopper defects, such as crash (computing)|software crashes; testers and developers previously identify and fix these issues during earlier unit testing, integration testing, and system testing phases. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  201. Acceptance test - User acceptance testing 1  In the industrial

    sector, a common UAT is a 'factory acceptance test' (FAT). This test takes place before installation of the concerned equipment. Most of the time testers not only check if the equipment meets the pre-set specification, but also if the equipment is fully functional. A FAT usually includes a check of completeness, a verification against contractual requirements, a proof of functionality (either by simulation or a conventional function test) and a final inspection. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

AES, when used with NSA-supplied keys, is approved for TOP SECRET traffic as well as unclassified, and may be considered a reference point for strong commercial encryption.

  255. Zurvanism - Ascent and acceptance 1  The origins of the

    cult of Zurvan remain debated. One view (Zaehner, 1939; Duchesne-Guillemin, 1956; Zaehner 1955, intro) considers Zurvanism to have developed out of Zoroastrianism as a reaction to the liberalization of the late Achaemenid era form of the faith. Another opinion (Nyberg, 1931; Zaehner 1955, conclusion) proposes that Zurvan existed as a pre-Zoroastrian divinity that was incorporated into Zoroastrianism. The third view (Cumont and Schaeder; reiterated by Henning, 1951; Boyce 1957) is that Zurvanism is the product of the contact between Zoroastrianism and Babylonian/Byzantine religions (for a summary of opposing views see Boyce, 1957:304). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  256. Zurvanism - Ascent and acceptance 1  Certain however is that

    by the Sassanid Empire|Sassanid era (226–651 CE), the divinity Infinite Time was well established and enjoyed royal patronage. It was during the reign of Sassanid Emperor Shapur I (241-272) that Zurvanism appears to have developed as a cult and it was presumably in this period that Greek and Indic concepts were introduced to Zurvanite https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  257. Zurvanism - Ascent and acceptance 1  It is however not

    known whether Sassanid era Zurvanism and Mazdaism were separate sects, each with their own organization and priesthood, or simply two tendencies within the same body. That Mazdaism and Zurvanism competed for attention can been inferred from the works of Christian and Manichaean polemicists, but the doctrinal incompatibilities were not so extreme that they could not be reconciled under the broad aegis of an imperial church (Boyce, 1957:308). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  264. Belongingness - Acceptance/Rejection 1  In a series of experiments, Buckley,

    Winkel, and Mark Leary|Leary found that the effects of rejection are more potent than the effects of acceptance because negative feelings can cause more feelings of hurt and pain, which in turn can lead to aggression and negative behaviors. They also found people's reactions to extreme and moderate rejection were similar, suggesting that once one has been rejected by an individual or group, the severity of the rejection is less important https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  266. Social rejection - Need for acceptance 1  Psychologists believe that

    simple contact or social interaction with others is not enough to fulfill this need. Instead, people have a strong motivational drive to form and maintain caring interpersonal relationships. People need both stable relationships and satisfying interactions with the people in those relationships. If either of these two ingredients is missing, people will begin to feel lonely and unhappy. Thus, rejection is a significant threat. In fact, the majority of human anxiety|anxieties appear to reflect concerns over social exclusion.Baumeister, R. F., Tice, D. M. (1990). Anxiety and social exclusion. Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 9, 165-195. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  267. Social rejection - Need for acceptance 1  Being a member

    of a group is also important for social identity, which is a key component of the self-concept.

In this view, self-esteem is a sociometer which activates negative emotions when signs of exclusion appear.Leary, M. R., Downs, D. L., (1995).

  268. Social rejection - Need for acceptance 1  Social psychology (psychology)|Social

    psychological research confirms the motivational basis of the need for acceptance.

    CE 1  Within the dharmashastric tradition espousing sati as a justified, and even recommended, option to ascetic widowhood, there remained a curious conception worth noting the achieved status for a woman committing sati. Burning herself on the pyre would give her, and her husband, automatic, but not eternal, reception into heaven (svarga), whereas only the wholly chaste widow living out her natural life span could hope for final liberation (moksha) and breaking the cycle of rebirth. Thus, acknowledging that performing sati only achieved an inferior otherworldy status than successful widowhood could achieve, sati became recommended when coupled with a dismissal of the effective possibility for a widow to remain truly chaste. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

He confirmed that Philip V retained his French rights despite his new Spanish position. Admittedly, he may only have been hypothesising a theoretical eventuality and not attempting a Franco-Spanish union. But his actions were certainly not read as being disinterested. Moreover, Louis sent troops to the Spanish Netherlands to evict Dutch garrisons and secure Dutch recognition of Philip V. In 1701, Philip transferred the asiento (the right to supply slaves to Spanish colonies) to France, alienating English traders. As tensions mounted, Louis decided to acknowledge James Francis Edward Stuart|James Stuart, the son of James II, as king of England on the latter's death, infuriating William III.

    David Adom 1  From its inception in 1930 until 2006, the Magen David Adom organization, the Israeli equivalent to the Red Cross, was not accepted as part of the Federation, as it used the Star of David, which the ICRC refused to recognize as an acceptable symbol. This meant that although Arab ambulances would be protected by the ICRC, Israeli ambulances would not. In May 2000, Bernadine Healy, the president of the American Red Cross, wrote: The international committee's feared proliferation of symbols is a pitiful fig leaf, used for decades as the reason for excluding the Magen David Adom – the Shield (or Star) of David. In protest over the ICRC's perceived anti-Israel discrimination, the ARC withdrew its financial support. In 2005, at a meeting of nations party to the Geneva convention, the ICRC adopted the new Emblems of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement#Red Crystal|Red Crystal.

    requiring the axiom of choice may establish the existence of an object without explicitly definable set|defining the object in the language of set theory.

  360. Axiom of choice - Criticism and acceptance 1  The axiom

    of choice produces these intangibles (objects that are proven to exist, but which cannot be explicitly constructed), which may conflict with some philosophical principles.

  361. Axiom of choice - Criticism and acceptance 1  Another argument

    against the axiom of choice is that it implies the existence of counterintuitive objects. One example is the Banach–Tarski paradox which says that it is possible to decompose (carve up) the 3- dimensional solid unit ball into finitely many pieces and, using only rotations and translations, reassemble the pieces into two solid balls each with the same volume as the original. The pieces in this decomposition, constructed using the axiom of choice, are non-measurable sets. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  363. Axiom of choice - Criticism and acceptance 1  It is

    possible to prove many theorems using neither the axiom of choice nor its negation; such statements will be true in any model theory|model of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZF), regardless of the truth or falsity of the axiom of choice in that particular model. The restriction to ZF renders any claim that relies on either the axiom of choice or its negation unprovable. For example, the Banach–Tarski paradox is neither provable nor disprovable from ZF alone: it is impossible to construct the required decomposition of the unit ball in ZF, but also impossible to prove there is no such decomposition. Similarly, all the statements listed below which require choice or some weaker version thereof for their proof are unprovable in ZF, but since each is provable in ZF plus the axiom of choice, there are models of ZF in which each statement is true. Statements such as the Banach–Tarski paradox can be rephrased as conditional statements, for example, If AC holds, then the decomposition in the Banach–Tarski paradox exists. Such conditional statements are provable in ZF when the original statements are provable from ZF and the axiom of choice. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  386. Lurker - De-lurking and community acceptance 1  In a series

    of studies investigating how newcomers learn the rules and habits of good users in four types of Usenet groups (i.e., health support, political issues, hobby, and technical groups), Burke, Kraut, and Joyce found correlational and experimental evidence that “group- oriented membership claims” or “de-lurking messages” were well received by previous community members. According to Burke et al., group-oriented membership claims are when new users introduce themselves to the online community by describing their undertakings in learning about the community; the authors provide the following example: “I’ve been lurking around your discussion group for a few weeks now. Just reading and trying to soak in some knowledge I guess”. Correlational results in Study 1 showed that messages with group-oriented membership claims elevated community member responses by 38 percent, while experimental results in Study 2 showed that placing group-oriented membership claims into Usenet posts elevated community member responses by 46 percent. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    word changes in form or meaning owing to folk etymology, there is typically resistance to the change on the part of those who are aware of the true etymology. Many words altered through folk etymology survive beyond such resistance however, to the point where they entirely replace the original form in the language.

  458. Nod (gesture) - Nodding to indicate acceptance 1  Different cultures

    assign different meanings to the gesture. Nodding to indicate yes is widespread, and appears in a large number of diverse cultural and linguistic groups. Areas in which nodding generally takes this meaning include the Indian subcontinent (note that the head bobble also shows agreement there), Iran, Southeast Asia, most of Europe (see below), Latin America and North America." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  460. Extended Industry Standard Architecture - Industry Acceptance 1  EISA's success

    was far from guaranteed. Many manufacturers, including those in the Gang of Nine, researched the possibility of using MCA. For example, Compaq actually produced prototype DeskPro systems using the bus. However, these were never put into production, and when it was clear that MCA had lost, Compaq allowed its MCA license to expire (the license actually cost relatively little; the primary costs associated with MCA, and at which the industry revolted, were royalties to be paid per system shipped). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  461. Extended Industry Standard Architecture - Industry Acceptance 1  On the

    other hand, when it became clear to IBM that Micro Channel was dying, IBM actually licensed EISA for use in a few server systems. As a final jab at their competitor, Compaq (leader of the EISA consortium) didn't cash the first check sent by IBM for the EISA license. Instead, the check was framed and put on display in the company museum at Compaq's main campus in Houston, Texas. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  462. Prenatal diagnosis - Patient acceptance 1  Research was conducted to

    determine how women felt about noninvasive diagnosis of fetal aneuploid using maternal blood. This study was conducted using surveys. It was reported that eight-two percent of pregnant women and seventy-nine percent of female medical students view this type of diagnosis in a positive light, agreeing that it is important for prenatal care. Overall, women responded optimistically that this form of diagnosis will be available in the future." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  463. Simulated annealing - Acceptance probabilities 1  The specification of neighbour(),

    P(), and temperature() is partially redundant. In practice, it's common to use the same acceptance function P() for many problems, and adjust the other two functions according to the specific problem. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    SA assume the original acceptance function, which is probably hard-coded in many implementations of SA." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  465. New World - Acceptance 1  The Vespucci passage above applied

    the New World label to merely the continental landmass of South America.F.A. Ober Amerigo Vespucci New York: Harper (1907: p.239; 244) At the time, most of the continent of North America was not yet discovered, and Vespucci's comments did not eliminate the possibility that the islands of the Antilles discovered earlier by Christopher Columbus might still be the eastern edges of Asia, as Columbus continued to insist down to his dying day.S.E. Morison The European Discovery of America, v.2: The southern voyages, 1492-1616.(1974: p.265-66). A critical step in the transition was the conference of navigators (Junta de Navegantes) assembled by the Spanish monarchs at Toro, Zamora|Toro in 1505, and continued at Burgos in 1508, to digest all existing information about the Indies, come to an agreement on what had really been discovered, and set out the future goals of Spanish exploration. Amerigo Vespucci attended both conferences, and seems to have had an outsized influence on them - Vespucci ended up being appointed the first piloto mayor, the chief of navigation of Spain, at Burgos.For an account of Vespucci at Toro and Burgos, see Navarette Colección de los viages y descubrimientos que hicieron por mar los españoles desde fines del siglo XV(1829: v.iii, [http://books.google.com/books? id=ESYW_1DUELoCpg=PA320#v=onepageqf=false p.320-23]) Although the proceedings of the Toro-Burgos conferences are missing, it is almost certain that Vespucci articulated his recent New World thesis to his fellow navigators there. It was during these conferences when Spanish officials seem to have finally accepted that the Antilles and the known stretch of Central America were definitely not the Indies they had originally sought, and Columbus had insisted they were, and set out the new goal for Spanish explorers: to find a sea passage or strait through the American landmass which would permit them to sail to Asia proper.C.O.

  466. Techniques of neutralization - Acceptance 1  Further research in the

    theory has produced inconclusive results. Offenders have been found both with a solid belief in their moral obligations, and without. Travis Hirschi, a Social Bonding Theory|social bond theorist, also raised the question as to whether the offender develops these techniques to neutralise their qualms regarding offending before or after they actually commit the offence.This link no longer works. Please find another reference. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  467. Techniques of neutralization - Acceptance 1  Neutralization Theory was introduced

    by Sykes and Matza in 1957, facing the then prevailing criminological wisdom that offenders engage in crime because they adhere to an oppositional subcultural rule set that values law breaking and violence, they rejected this perspective. Subsequent research revealed that the original formulation of the Sykes and Matza's theory explains only the behavior of conventionally attached individuals not those of nonconventionally oriented individuals such as criminally embedded street offenders. Professor Volkan Topalli, at Georgia State University, in his article The Seductive Nature of Autotelic Crime: How Neutralization Theory Serves as a Boundary Condition for Understanding Hardcore Street Offending, explains that for those groups guilt is not an issue at all because their crimes are not only considered acceptable, but attractive and desirable.[http:// www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118587001/abstract?

     reels/ blooper  reels,  especially  on  recent  DVD   releases,  has  received  mixed  response  by   actors  and  directors.  While  many  do  not  mind   the  extra  publicity  offered  by  such  material   being  shown  to  the  public  and  others  simply   enjoy  seeing  the  mistakes,  other  actors   complain  that  out-­‐takes  are  demeaning  to   themselves  and/or  the  craa  and  refuse  to   allow  them  to  be  made  public.   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  469. Blooper - Acceptance of out-takes 1  Director Hal Ashby's decision

    to include a blooper reel of star Peter Sellers in his 1979 film Being There, for example, is sometimes blamed for Sellers' failure to win that year's Academy Award for Best Actor (for which he was nominated). Sellers had reportedly urged Ashby not to include the outtakes in the final edit of the film, to no avail. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  476. Service of process - Voluntary acceptance of service (United States)

    1  As a substitute for personal service by a process server, some jurisdictions may allow voluntary acceptance of service, also called 'waiver of service'. It means that the served party agrees to voluntarily acknowledge receipt of the complaint or petition without the need to engage a process server. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  477. Service of process - Voluntary acceptance of service (United States)

    1  Acceptance or waiver of service is encouraged by some court systems, especially U.S. federal courts. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d)(2), when a defendant refuses to waive service without good cause, the defendant can be held liable for the cost of personal service. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  478. Service of process - Voluntary acceptance of service (United States)

    1  However, in general, individual service by a process server is the best way to effect service of process, as it completely avoids having to litigate the collateral issue of whether the defendant actually had good cause (or not) to not waive service. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  479. Service of process - Agent for acceptance of service 1 

    For  example,  most  corpora>ons  are  required   by  local  law  to  have  an  agent  for  acceptance   of  service  in  each  jurisdic>on  where  they  are   ac>ve   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  481. Squash (sport) - Wider acceptance 1  Squash has been featured

    regularly at the multi-sport events of the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games since 1998. Squash is also a regular sport at the Pan American Games since 1995. Squash players and associations have lobbied for many years for the sport to be accepted into the Olympic Games, with no success to date. Squash narrowly missed being instated for the 2012 London Games and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games (missed out again as the IOC assembly decided to add golf and rugby sevens to the Olympic programme). An effort is underway to qualify squash as an event in the 2020 Olympic Games. At the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires, the IOC voted for Wrestling instead of Squash or Baseball/Softball for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    within a pragmatism| pragmatic philosophy called functional contextualism. ACT is based on relational frame theory (RFT), a comprehensive theory of language and cognition that is an offshoot of behavior analysis. ACT differs from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in that rather than trying to teach people to better control their thoughts, feelings, sensations, memories and other private events, ACT teaches them to just notice, accept, and embrace their private events, especially previously unwanted ones. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    has typically operated under the healthy normality assumption which states that by their nature, humans are psychologically healthy, ACT assumes, rather, that psychological processes of a normal human mind are often destructive. The core conception of ACT is that psychological suffering is usually caused by experiential avoidance, cognitive entanglement, and resulting psychological rigidity that leads to a failure to take needed behavioral steps in accord with core values. As a simple way to summarize the model, ACT views the core of many problems to be due to the concepts represented in the acronym, 'FEAR': https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  511. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - Evidence 1  ACT had, as

    of October 2006, been evaluated in about 30 controlled time series studies or randomized clinical trials for a variety of client problems. As of 2011 that number had approximately doubled and new controlled studies were regularly being published. Overall, when compared to other treatments designed to be helpful, the effect size for ACT is a Cohen's d of around 0.6 which is considered a medium https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    treatments that are already known to be effective, the effect size so far is about .3, which is small.

    larger and better controlled trials have begun to appear and the number of areas to which it has been successfully applied is growing. ACT is considered an empirically validated treatment by the American Psychological Association, with the status of Modest Research Support in depression and Strong Research Support in chronic pain, with several others specific areas such as psychosis and work site stress currently under review. ACT is also listed as evidence- based by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the United States federal government which has examined randomized trials for ACT in the areas of psychosis, work site stress, and obsessive compulsive disorder, including depression outcomes. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  539. Buddhism and psychology - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 1 

    These four aspects of mindfulness in ACT are argued to stem from Relational Frame Theory, the research program on language and cognition that underlies ACT at the basic level. For example, self as context is argued to emerge from deictic verbal relations such as I/You, or Here/There, which RFT laboratories have shown to help establish perspective taking skills and interconnection with others.Vilardaga, R., https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

Oakland, CA: New Harbinger.) and many tested ACT protocols teach formal contemplative practice skills, but by this definition of mindfulness, such defusion skills as word repetition (taking a difficult thought, distilling it to a single word, and saying it repeatedly out loud for 30 seconds) are also viewed as mindfulness methods. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    reason may be that videophone calling can be a poor analog for direct face-to-face conversation. Videophone users commonly look at the video screen and not at the video camera, preventing users from having direct eye contact| eye-to-eye contact, as the video cameras are usually positioned away from the screen. The issue of poor eye contact has been addressed on the more sophisticated videophone and videoconferencing systems (as far back as the 1960s) by means of cameras hidden behind translucent display screens, directly inline with the projected image of the person being spoken to. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

Another brief argues that the contraception rule leads to the maximization of sexual activity. Two of the briefs oppose each other on the constitutionality of the RFRA. Two briefs that do not formally take sides oppose each other on whether the right to religion applies to corporations. One of those briefs argues that if shareholders are separated by the corporate veil from corporate liabilities, then their religious values are also separate from the corporation.

In the U.S. 1976 swine flu outbreak| swine flu scare of 1976, President Gerald Ford was confronted with a potential swine flu pandemic. The vaccination program was rushed, yet plagued by delays and public relations problems. Meanwhile, maximum military containment efforts succeeded unexpectedly in confining the new strain to the single army base where it had originated. On that base a number of soldiers fell severely ill, but only one died. The program was canceled, after about 24% of the population had received vaccinations. An excess in deaths of twenty-five over normal annual levels as well as 400 excess hospitalizations, both from Guillain-Barré syndrome, were estimated to have occurred from the vaccination program itself, illustrating that vaccine itself is not free of risks. The result has been cited to stoke lingering doubts about vaccination.[http://www.haverford.edu/biology/ edwards/disease/viral_essays/warnervirus.htm The Sky is Falling: An Analysis of the Swine Flu Affair of 1976] In the end, however, even the maligned 1976 vaccine may have saved lives.

    1  Insulin glargine is formulated at an acidic pH 4, where it is completely water soluble. After subcutaneous injection of the acidic solute (which can cause discomfort and a stinging sensation), when a physiologic pH (approximately 7.4) is achieved the increase in pH causes the insulin to come out of solution resulting in the formation of higher order aggregates of insulin hexamers. The higher order aggregation slows the dissociation of the hexamers into insulin monomers, the functional and physiologically active unit of insulin. This gradual process ensures that small amounts of insulin glargine are released into the body continuously, giving an almost peakless profile." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  660. Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America - Issue #5

    - Acceptance 1  Captain America is given a funeral with full military honors (in a ceremony usually reserved for the president), and many thousands are in attendance, not to count the people watching on TV. Among the audience and speakers are Iron Man|Tony Stark, Falcon (comics)|Sam Wilson, Hank Pym, Janet van Dyne, Ben Grimm, and a number of other heroes both old and modern, as well as their loved ones and the people Cap inspired. Tony is given the first opportunity to speak, but a wave of emotion renders him incapable of speaking anything besides It wasn't supposed to be this way.... Sam then gets up and takes over, starting with a history of the names Cap was once called by, and pointing out that despite that, it was always Steve Rogers who really mattered. He speaks of how soldiers and heroes of yesteryear were inspired to be what they are simply by watching Cap in action. He asks them to stand up, and recounts the events that froze Cap and helped him survive to the modern day. He mentions—with emphasis on why he couldn't be in attendance— how Namor was involved in bringing him back. Then he asks all those inspired by Cap's return to stand up as well, including heroes and those who supported the heroes. He references the New Avengers (not by name), who wanted to be there, but couldn't. At Dr. Strange's house, they are watching the funeral and discussing why they didn't go; Spider-Man says it would have been worth the risk. Sam concludes by saying that with everyone in attendance proving they were inspired by Cap—since by this point literally everyone is standing—it shouldn't be a sad day, but one of celebration of all the things Steve Rogers would have wanted. Three days later, in the arctic, Iron Man, Wasp and Yellowjacket land in a S.H.I.E.L.D. ship with Rogers' casket. Tony mentions that the body in Arlington isn't really Cap's, but a decoy to please the public. The real body is here, and it will rest in the Arctic forever, the rationale being that he was preserved in peace here for decades until he could be revived, and so it was the best place for him to rest forever. After Tony says a heartfelt good-bye, Namor shows up, revealing that he too is touched by the death, and that as long as he rules the oceans, Steve Rogers will rest in peace. Janet then asks whether everyone must now accept that the old era is finally over and a new one is beginning. The casket sinks slowly into nothingness without an answer. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  661. A cappella - Acceptance of instruments in worship 1  Those

    who do not adhere to the regulative principle of interpreting Christian scripture, believe that limiting praise to the unaccompanied chant of the early church is not commanded in scripture, and that churches in any age are free to offer their songs with or without musical instruments. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  662. A cappella - Acceptance of instruments in worship 1  Those

    who subscribe to this interpretation believe that since the Christian scriptures never counter instrumental language with any negative judgment on instruments, opposition to instruments instead comes from an interpretation of history. There is no written opposition to musical instruments in any setting in the first century and a half of Christian churches (33 AD to 180AD). The use of instruments for Christian worship during this period is also undocumented. Toward the end of the 2nd century, Christians began condemning the instruments themselves. Those who oppose instruments today believe these Church Fathers had a better understanding of God's desire for the church, but there are significant differences between the teachings of these Church Fathers and Christian opposition to instruments today. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    several suggested reasons why quackery is accepted by patients in spite of its lack of effectiveness: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  676. Quack doctor - Presence and acceptance 1  : Those who

    perpetuate quackery may do so to take advantage of ignorance about conventional medical treatments versus alternative treatments, or may themselves be ignorant regarding their own claims. Mainstream medicine has produced many remarkable advances, so people may tend to also believe groundless claims. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    treatments known to have no pharmacological effect on a disease can still affect a person's perception of their illness, and this belief in its turn does indeed sometimes have a therapeutic effect, causing the patient's condition to improve. This is not to say that no real cure of biological illness is effected— though we might describe a placebo effect as being all in the mind, we now know that https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  681. Quack doctor - Presence and acceptance 1  : Anti-quackery activists

    (quackbusters) are accused of being part of a huge conspiracy to suppress unconventional and/or natural therapies, as well as those who promote them. It is alleged that this conspiracy is backed and funded by the pharmaceutical industry and the established medical care system – represented by the American Medical Association| AMA, Food and Drug Administration|FDA, American Dental Association|ADA, Center for Disease Control and Prevention| CDC, World Health Organization|WHO, etc. – for the purpose of preserving their power and increasing their profits.

American Medical Association, ruling that the AMA had engaged in an unlawful conspiracy in restraint of trade to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  682. Quack doctor - Presence and acceptance 1  : A great

    variety of pharmaceutical medications can have very distressing side effects, and many people fear surgery and its consequences, so they may opt to shy away from these mainstream treatments. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

Of the hundreds of references to birth control in magazines and newspapers of the 1920s, more than two-thirds were favorable.Engelman, p. 142. The availability of contraception signaled the end of the stricter morality of the Victorian era, and ushered in the emergence of a more sexually permissive society. Other factors that contributed to the new sexual norms included increased mobility brought by the automobile, anonymous urban lifestyles, and post-war euphoria. Sociologists who Middletown studies|surveyed women in Muncie, Indiana in 1925 found that all the upper class women approved of birth control, and more than 80 percent of the working class women approved.Lynd, Robert S., Lynd, Helen Merrell (1929), Middletown: A Study in Modern American Culture, Harcourt, Brace World, pp. 123–124.Lynd cited by Engelman, p. 143.

    of its only access to the Baltic Sea was a major blow to the Lithuanian economy. Between 70% and 80% of foreign trade passed through Klaipėda. The region, which represented only about 5% of Lithuania's territory, contained a third of its industry. Lithuania also lost its heavy investments in the port's infrastructure. About 10,000 refugees, mostly Jews, left the region and sought shelter and support from the Lithuanian government. Lithuanians doubted the fate of their country: in March–April withdrawals of deposits in banks and credit institutions totaled almost 20% of total deposits. After the loss of Klaipėda, Lithuania drifted into the German sphere of influence, especially in terms of trade. At the end of 1939, Germany accounted for 75% of Lithuanian exports and for 86% of its imports. Germany and the Soviet Union concluded the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in 1939, dividing Eastern Europe into their respective spheres of influence.

A bidder may withdraw his or her bid at any time before the fall of the hammer, but any bid in any event lapses as an offer on the making of a higher bid, so that if a higher bid is made, then withdrawn before the fall of the hammer, the auctioneer cannot then purport to accept the previous highest bid. If an auction is without reserve then, whilst there is no contract of sale between the owner of the goods and the highest bidder (because the placing of goods in the auction is an invitation to treat), there is a collateral contract between the auctioneer and the highest bidder that the auction will be held without reserve (i.e., that the highest bid, however low, will be accepted).See Warlow v. Harrison (1859) 1 E. E. 309. The U.S. Uniform Commercial Code provides that in an auction without reserve the goods may not be withdrawn once they have been put up.U.C.C., s2-328(3) https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  715. Offer and Acceptance - Revocation of offer 1  An offeror

    may revoke an offer before it has been accepted, but the revocation must be communicated to the offeree (although not necessarily by the offeror, see Dickinson v. Dodds (1876) 2 Ch.D. 463). If the offer was made to the entire world, such as in Carlill's case, the revocation must take a form that is similar to the offer. However, an offer may not be revoked if it has been encapsulated in an https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  716. Offer and Acceptance - Revocation of offer 1  If the

    offer is one that leads to a unilateral contract, the offer generally cannot be revoked once the offeree has begun performance. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  717. Offer and Acceptance - Acceptance 1  A promise or act

    on the part of an offeree indicating a willingness to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in an offer. Also, the acknowledgment of the drawee that binds the drawee to the terms of a draft. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  718. Offer and Acceptance - Test of acceptance 1  For the

    acceptance, the essential requirement is that the parties had each from a subjective perspective engaged in conduct manifesting their assent https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  719. Offer and Acceptance - Test of acceptance 1  The  requirement

     of  an  objec>ve  perspec>ve  is   important  in  cases  where  a  party  claims  that   an  offer  was  not  accepted  and  seeks  to  take   advantage  of  the  performance  of  the  other   party.  Here,  we  can  apply  the  test  of  whether   a  reasonable  bystander  (a  fly  on  the  wall)   would  have  perceived  that  the  party  has   impliedly  accepted  the  offer  by  conduct.   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  720. Offer and Acceptance - Communication of acceptance 1  There are

    several rules dealing with the communication of acceptance: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  721. Offer and Acceptance - Communication of acceptance 1  * The

    acceptance must be communicated: see Powell v Lee (1908) 99 L.T. 284; Robophone Facilities Ltd v. Blank [1966] 3 All E.R. 128. Prior to acceptance, an offer may be withdrawn." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  722. Offer and Acceptance - Communication of acceptance 1  Her actions

    accepted the offer - there was no need to communicate acceptance https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  723. Offer and Acceptance - Communication of acceptance 1  * An

    offeree is not usually bound if another person accepts the offer on his behalf without his authorisation, the exceptions to which are found in the law of agency, where an agent may have apparent or ostensible authority, or the usual authority of an agent in the particular market, even if the principal did not realise what the extent of this authority was, and someone on whose behalf an offer has been purportedly accepted may also ratify the contract within a reasonable time, binding both parties: see agent (law). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  724. Offer and Acceptance - Communication of acceptance 1  * It

    may be implied from the construction of the contract that the offeror has dispensed with the requirement of communication of acceptance (called waiver of communication - which is generally implied in unilateral contracts): see also Re Selectmove Ltd [1994] BCC 349. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  725. Offer and Acceptance - Communication of acceptance 1  * If

    the offer specifies a method of acceptance (such as by Mail|post or fax), acceptance must be by a method that is no less effective from the offeror's point of view than the method specified. The exact method prescribed may have to be used in some cases but probably only where the offeror has used very explicit words such as by registered post, and by that method only: see Yates Building Co. Ltd v. R.J. Pulleyn https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  726. Offer and Acceptance - Communication of acceptance 1  * However,

    acceptance may be inferred from conduct, see, e.g.: Brogden v. Metropolitan Railway Company (1877) 2 App. Cas. 666; Rust v. Abbey Life Assurance Co. Ltd https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  727. Offer and Acceptance - Counter-offers and correspondence 1  The mirror

    image rule states that if you are to accept an offer, you must accept an offer exactly, without modifications; if you change the offer in any way, this is a counter-offer that kills the original offer and the original offer cannot be accepted at a future time: Hyde v. Wrench (1840) 3 Beav 334. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  728. Offer and Acceptance - Counter-offers and correspondence 1  However, a

    mere request for information about the terms of the offer is not a counter-offer and leaves the offer intact: Stevenson v. McLean (1880) 5 Q.B.D. 346. It may be possible to draft an enquiry such that it adds to the terms of the contract while keeping the original offer alive. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  729. Offer and Acceptance - Counter-offers and correspondence 1  Under the

    Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Sec. 2-207(1), A definite expression of acceptance or a written confirmation of an informal agreement may constitute a valid acceptance even if it states terms additional to or different from the offer or informal agreement. The additional or different terms are treated as proposals for addition into the contract under UCC Sec. 2-207(2).

  732. Offer and Acceptance - Counter-offers and correspondence 1  If  there

     is  no  contract  under  2-­‐207(1),  then   under  UCC  Sec.  2-­‐207(3),  conduct  by  the   par>es  that  recognize  there  is  a  contract  may   be  sufficient  to  establish  a  contract.  The  terms   for  this  contract  include  only  those  that  the   par>es  agree  on  and  the  rest  via  gap  fillers.   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  733. Offer and Acceptance - Battle of the forms 1  Often

    when two company (law)|companies deal with each other in the course of business, they will use standard form contracts. Often these standard terms conflict (e.g. both parties include a liability waiver in their form). The 'battle of the forms' refers to the resulting legal dispute arising where both parties accept that a legally binding contract exists, but disagree about whose standard terms https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  734. Offer and Acceptance - Battle of the forms 1  The

    absence of any additional counter- offer or refusal by the other party is understood as an implied acceptance https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  735. Offer and Acceptance - Postal Rule 1  This rule only

    applies when, impliedly or explicitly, the parties have post in contemplation as a means of acceptance https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  736. Offer and Acceptance - Knowledge of the offer 1  In

    Australian law, there is a requirement that an acceptance is made in reliance or pursuance of an offer: see R v. Clarke (1927) 40 C.L.R. 227." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  737. Offer and Acceptance - Rejection of offer or lapse of

    time 1  An offer can be terminated on the grounds of rejection by the offeree, that is if the offeree does not accept the terms of the offer or makes a counter-offer as referred to above. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  738. Offer and Acceptance - Rejection of offer or lapse of

    time 1  Also, upon making an offer, an offeror may include the period in which the offer will be available. If the offeree fails to accept the offer within this specific period, then the offer will be deemed as terminated. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  739. Offer and Acceptance - Death of offeror 1  The offer

    cannot be accepted if the offeree knows of the death of the offeror.Fong v. Cilli (1968) 11 FLR 495 In cases where the offeree accepts in ignorance of the death, the contract may still be valid, although this proposition depends on the nature of the offer. If the contract involves some characteristic personal to the offeror, the offer is destroyed by the death. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  740. Offer and Acceptance - Death of offeree 1  An offer

    is rendered invalid upon the death of the offeree: see Re Irvine. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  741. Offer and Acceptance - Time of contract formation 1  A

    contract will be formed (assuming the other requirements for a legally binding contract are met) when the parties give objective manifestation of an intent to form the contract. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  742. Offer and Acceptance - Time of contract formation 1  Because

    offer and acceptance are necessarily intertwined, in California, offer and acceptance are analyzed together as subelements of a single element, known either as consent of the parties or mutual assent.Lopez v. Charles Schwab Co., Inc., [http://online.ceb.com/calcases/ CA4/118CA4t1224.htm 118 Cal. App. 4th 1224] (2004). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  743. Legitimacy of NATO bombing of Yugoslavia - International acceptance of

    NATO actions 1  Secretary-General of the United Nations|UN Secretary- General Kofi Annan supported the intervention in principle, saying there are times when the use of force may be legitimate in the pursuit of peace, but was critical of unilateral action by NATO. He argued under the [UN] Charter the Security Council has primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security - and this is explicitly acknowledged in the North Atlantic Treaty. Therefore, the Council should be involved in any decision to resort to the use of force. Italy, itself a NATO member, was reluctant to agree to the NATO operations due to the tens of thousands of refugees that conflict would bring to Italy. Other NATO members were reluctant too, and new members, Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic were especially uncomfortable. Other countries which condemned the bombing were Russia, Belarus, China, India, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Algeria. Iran also condemned the bombing by calling the campaign 'illegal'. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  744. Legitimacy of NATO bombing of Yugoslavia - International acceptance of

    NATO actions 1  On the day the bombing started, Russia did call for the UN Security Council to meet to consider an extremely dangerous situation caused by the unilateral military action of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. However, a draft resolution, tabled jointly by Russia, Belarus and India, to demand an immediate cessation of the use of force against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was defeated. There were only three votes in favour (Russia, China and Namibia) and twelve against, with no abstentions. Argentina, Bahrain, Brazil, Gabon, Gambia, Malaysia, and Slovenia, along with NATO members the US, Britain, France, Canada, and Netherlands voted against it. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  745. Legitimacy of NATO bombing of Yugoslavia - International acceptance of

    NATO actions 1  Rejection of Russia's condemnation amounted to political, but not legal, support of NATO's intervention. When Milsovic surrendered and the bombing stopped, the creation on 10 June 1999 of the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), by Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999), amounted to a legal ratification post festum (after the event). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  746. South African contract law - Offer and acceptance 1  The

    rules of offer and acceptance constitute a useful, but not essential, analytical tool in understanding the formation of contracts. An offer is a statement of intent in which the offeror expresses (to the person to whom the offer is conveyed) the performance and the terms to which he is prepared to bind himself. Being a unilateral declaration, an offer does not in itself give rise to a binding https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    Regulates catalogue marketing https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  749. South African contract law - Offer and acceptance 1  An

    offer is usually directed at a definite person or persons, but it may also be directed at undefined persons. An advertisement does not generally constitute an offer; it qualifies merely as an invitation to do business, although a promise of reward is a form of advertisement that does constitute an offer. The status in this regard of proposals and tenders is contingent on the intention of the parties, which is in turn determined by the circumstances of each individual case." https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  750. South African contract law - Offer and acceptance 1  At

    a simple auction, not subject to conditions, the bidder is construed as making the offer. At an auction with reserve, the potential purchaser is construed as making the offer; at an auction without reserve, the auctioneer is construed as making the offer. An auction subject to conditions is construed as two potential contracts: The first binds the parties to the auction https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    exeception is the postal contract, which is governed by the expedition theory, according to which the contract comes into being as soon as the offeree has posted the letter of acceptance https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  757. Bnei Menashe - Acceptance 1  In April 2005, the Sephardi

    Jews|Sephardi Rabbi Shlomo Amar, one of Israel's two Chief Rabbi|chief rabbis, accepted the Bnei Menashe as descendants of one of the lost tribes, after years of review of their claims and other research. His decision was significant because it allows all Bnei Menashe to immigrate as Jews to Israel under aliyah, or the nation's Law of Return for Jews. He has required them to undergo formal conversion to Judaism, however, because of their long interruption from the people. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    this claim of Jewish origin. Academics in Israel and elsewhere have serious questions about it. Bnei Menashe who wish to affirm their connection to the Jewish people have had to undergo education and the full, formal process for Orthodox conversions. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

     Menashe  had  moved  to  Israel,  where   they  were  sebled  in  West  Bank  and  Gaza  strip  (before   disengagement).  These  areas  offered  them  cheaper  housing  and   living  expenses  than  some  others.[hbp:// www.israelna>onalnews.com/News/News.aspx/123481  More  than   200  Bnei  Menashe  arriving  in  Israel],  Israel  Na>onal  News    They   composed  the  largest  immigrant  popula>on  in  the  Gaza  strip   before  Israel  lea  the  area.  Learning  Hebrew  has  been  a  great   challenge,  especially  for  the  older  genera>on,  for  whom  the   phonology  of  their  na>ve  Indic    Sinic  languages  makes  Hebrew   especially  challenging.  Younger  members  have  had  more   opportuni>es  to  learn  Hebrew  in  comparison.  Some  have  gained   jobs  as  soldiers,  and  nurses'  aides  for  the  elderly  and  infirm.   https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    is not used any more, as the acceptance mark is discontinued and merged into MasterCard https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  761. Car and cdr - Continued acceptance 1  The alternate names

    first and rest, which date back at least to 1959,McCarthy, J., Erratum to Memo 8, [ftp:// publications.ai.mit.edu/ai-publications/pdf/AIM-008.pdf Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation By Machine], dated March 13, 1959, retrieved September 19, 2008. are sometimes preferred to car and cdr. However, car and cdr have the advantage that short Function composition|compositions of the functions can be given short and more or less pronounceable names of the same form. In Lisp, (cadr '(1 2 3)) is the equivalent of (car (cdr '(1 2 3))); its value is 2 (the first item of the rest of (1 2 3)). Similarly, (caar '((1 2) (3 4))) is the same as (car (car '((1 2) (3 4)))); its value is 1. Most Lisps set a limit on the number of composed forms they support; Common Lisp and Scheme (programming language)|Scheme both provide forms with up to four repetitions of the a and d. However, further compositions can easily be defined by the user. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  762. True Cross - Acceptance of this tradition 1  This general

    acceptance is confirmed by the numerous artworks that depict this subject, culminating in one of the most famous fresco cycles of the Renaissance, the Legend of the True Cross by Piero della Francesca, painted on the walls of the chancel of the Church of San Francesco, Arezzo|San Francesco in Arezzo between 1452 and 1466, in which he reproduces faithfully the traditional episodes of the story as recorded in The Golden Legend. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  763. Testing hypotheses suggested by the data - Example of fallacious

    acceptance of a hypothesis 1  Suppose fifty different researchers, unaware of each other's work, run clinical trials to test whether Vitamin X is efficacious in treating cancer. Forty-nine of them find no significant differences between measurements done on patients who have taken Vitamin X and those who have taken a placebo. The fiftieth study finds a big difference, but the difference is of a size that one would expect to see in about one of every fifty studies even if vitamin X has no effect at all, just due to chance (with patients who were going to get better anyway disproportionately ending up in the Vitamin X group instead of the control group, which can happen since the entire population of cancer patients cannot be included in the study). When all fifty studies are pooled, one would say no effect of Vitamin X was found, because the positive result was not more frequent than chance, i.e. it was not statistical significance| statistically significant. However, it would be reasonable for the investigators running the fiftieth study to consider it likely that they have found an effect, at least until they learn of the other forty-nine studies. Now suppose that the one anomalous study was in Denmark. The data suggest a hypothesis that Vitamin X is more efficacious in Denmark than elsewhere. But Denmark was by chance the one-in-fifty in which an extreme value of the test statistic happened; one expects such extreme cases one time in fifty on average if no effect is present. It would therefore be fallacy|fallacious to cite the data as serious evidence for this particular 'hypothesis suggested by the data'. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  764. Testing hypotheses suggested by the data - Example of fallacious

    acceptance of a hypothesis 1  However, if another study is then done in Denmark and again finds a difference between the vitamin and the placebo, then the first study strengthens the case provided by the second study. Or, if a second series of studies is done on fifty countries, and Denmark stands out in the second study as well, the two series together constitute important evidence even though neither by itself is at all https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    Observers have noted the attraction of distance learning law schools to students, such as flexible class schedules, lower tuition, and the lack of geographical limitations.

    Graduates of California online schools have commenced legal actions in order to sit for the bar exam in their home states. Mel Thompson, a 2005 graduate of the West Coast School of Law, attempted to sue the ABA and the Connecticut Bar Examining Committee, alleging that Connecticut's refusal to let him sit for the bar exam violated due process, equal protection, and served as an arbitrary and unlawful restraint on trade.Douglas S.

    has been credited with pioneering the tabloid talk show genre, Winfrey's warmth, intimacy and personal confession popularized and changed it. Her success at popularizing of the tabloid talk show genre had opened up a thriving industry that has included Ricki Lake (TV series)|Ricki Lake, The Jenny Jones Show, and The Jerry Springer Show.

In the book Freaks Talk Back, Yale sociology professor Joshua Gamson credits the tabloid talk show genre with providing much needed high impact media visibility for gay, bisexual, transsexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and doing more to make them mainstream and socially acceptable than any other development of the 20th century. In the book's editorial review Michael Bronski wrote, In the recent past, lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgendered people had almost no presence on television. With the invention and propagation of tabloid talk shows such as The Jerry Springer Show|Jerry Springer, The Jenny Jones Show|Jenny Jones, Oprah, and Geraldo Rivera|Geraldo, people outside the sexual mainstream now appear in living rooms across America almost every day of the week.Gamson, Joshua (1999) University Of Chicago Press ISBN 0-226-28065-9 Gamson credits the tabloid talk show with making alternative sexual orientations and identities more acceptable in mainstream society. Examples include a Time magazine article describing early 21st century gays coming out of the closet younger and younger and gay suicide rates plummeting. Gamson also believes that tabloid talk shows caused gays to be embraced on more traditional forms of media.

    in 1988, members of the studio audience stood up one by one, gave their name and announced that they were gay in observance of National Coming Out Day. Also in the 1980s Winfrey took her show to West Virginia to confront a town gripped by AIDS paranoia because a gay man living in the town had HIV. Winfrey interviewed the man who had become a social outcast and the town's mayor who drained a swimming pool in which the man had gone swimming, and debated with the town's hostile residents. But I hear this is a God fearing town, Winfrey scolded the homophobic studio audience; where's all that Christian love and understanding? During a show on gay marriage in the 1990s, a woman in Winfrey's audience stood up to complain that gays were constantly flaunting their sex lives and she announced that she was tired of it. You know what I'm tired of, replied Winfrey, heterosexual males raping and sodomizing young girls. That's what I'm tired of. Her rebuttal inspired a screaming standing ovation from that show's studio audience. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

In 2013 the Portuguese section of Vatican Radio reported that at the conclusion of the 2013 conclave, the newly elected Pope Francis bestowed his zucchetto on Archbishop Lorenzo Baldisseri the secretary of that conclave and on February 22, 2014 at Pope Francis' first consistory, Baldisseri was formally made a cardinal with the title of Cardinal-Deacon of Sant’Anselmo all’Aventino. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

During Pope Francis' announcement, there was no image of his predecessor's arms (indicating that the previous pope was still alive), and during Pope Pius XI's first appearance following his election at the Papal conclave, 1922|1922 conclave, the banner showed the arms of Pope Pius IX instead of the arms of his immediate predecessor Pope Benedict XV.See for example the image at the article How new Pope is elected at Pophap [http://www.pophap.com/how-new-pope-is- elected/] The new pope then emerges onto the balcony to the adulation of the crowd, while a brass band in the forecourt below plays the Pontifical Anthem. He then imparts the Urbi et Orbi blessing.

It was frequently described as not flexible enoughmdash;the dedicated storage bins often were used for other things than their labels said. Another problem with these bins was that they were easily reachable by small children. Schütte-Lihotzky had designed the kitchen for one adult person only, children or even a second adult had not entered the picture, and in fact, the kitchen was too small for two people to work in. Most contemporary criticism concentrated on such rather technical aspects. Nevertheless, the Frankfurt kitchen became a model for a modern work kitchen.

Medical historian Debbie Bookchin writes, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, West Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Belgium all announced plans to either immediately begin polio immunization campaigns using Salk's vaccine or to gear up to quickly do so. Overnight, she adds, Salk had become an international hero and a household name. His vaccine was a modern medical miracle.Bookchin, Debbie, and Schumacher, Jim. The Virus and the Vaccine, Macmillan (2004) ISBN 0-312-34272-1 Because Salk was the first to prove that a 'killed'-virus could prevent polio, medical historian Paul Offit wrote in 2007 that for this observation alone, Salk should have been awarded the Nobel Prize. Virologist Isabel Morgan had earlier shown and published that a 'killed'-virus could prevent polio, although she did not test her vaccines on humans. Morgan's work, nonetheless, was a key link in the chain of progress toward the killed-virus polio vaccine for humans later developed and tested by Salk. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

It is about pacts of cohabitating of various natures, of which I wouldn’t know how to list the different ways. One needs to see the different cases and evaluate them in their variety.

    1  Ambivalence and rejection of the blood doctrine dates back to at least the 1940s. After the Watch Tower Society established the doctrine, teaching that blood should not be eaten (circa 1927-31), Margaret Buber, who was never a member of the religion, offered a firsthand eyewitness account of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Nazi Germany|Nazi Ravensbrück concentration camp. She relates that an overwhelming majority were willing to eat blood sausage despite having alternate food to choose from, and specifically after considering biblical statements regarding blood.Buber, M., Under Two Dictators, 1949 pp. 222, 235-237. Buber states the Jehovah's Witness prisoners all ate blood sausage, until around 1943. At that time she relates that 25 of the 275 Jehovah's Witness prisoners refused to eat blood sausage. She underlines the fact that this occurred in the presence of knowledge of Biblical statements regarding blood. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  935. Dionysios Solomos - Acceptance of his work 1  Since the

    beginning, Solomos was in the center of the literary circles of Zakynthos. After the Hymn to Liberty's publication, his fame spread throughout the Greek state. On the Ionian Islands and in Athens, the poet was known only by his published poems: the Hymn to Liberty, the abstract from Maria's prayer, Lampros, the Ode to the Nun and his poems written in his youth, many of them which were spread by word of mouth and many of them were set to music. This means that his contemporaries' opinion was formed by these works and it was thanks to these works that Solomos gained the fame that lasted until his death. The most important representatives of the First Athenian School admired Solomos' works even though they expressed their objections about the language used by the poet. In 1827, Iakovos Rizos Neroulos wrote in the Cours de la literature grecque moderne: Dionysios Solomos' poems... have the value of a strong and fascinating inspiration, a fantasy full of courage and fertility.Politis 1958, 197 Alexandros Soutsos in the poem Letter to King Otto described Solomos (and Andreas Kalvos) as a great maker of odes who, however, neglected the beauties of the language and presented rich ideas poorly clad. Alexandros Rizos Ragkavis in Esquisses de la literature grecque moderne wrote: his spirit makes him one of Greece's greatest glories... Solomos shone like the most beautiful gem of Greece's poetical crown. Even before his death, Solomos' poetical work was identified with the fatherland's concept; in 1849, the newspaper Aion wrote: the poetry of Solomos is not the poetry of a single person but the poetry of a whole nation.Garantoudis 2001, 221 Similar judgements were expressed even after the poet's death. The magazine Pandora wrote: one of the finest poets of Greece and of Europe, the author of the dithyramb to Liberty, Dionysios Solomos from Zakynthos died at a thriving age.Politis 1958, 202 The funeral orations of Solomos' students were of course more essential and referred to the poet's unpublished works, many of which they had heard their teacher reciting. Ioulios Typaldos described Solomos as the first and greatest foundator of a new type of literature and Iakovos Polylas in Solomos' poems Prolegomena in 1859 refers to him as the national poet. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    of Solomos' work changed radically after the long-awaited publication in 1859.

Valaoritis wrote to Constantinos Asopius in 1859 after the poet's death: the nation's hopes were deceived and in 1877 in a letter to Emmanouil Roidis he wrote that Solomos left us only a hymn and some incoherent verses.Politis 1958, 209 Spyridon Zampelios also expressed negative comments about Solomos' poems in his essay Where does the common word tragoudo (i.e. I am singing) derive from? written in 1859. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  939. Beeching cuts - Acceptance of rail subsidies 1  Whatever the

    correct figures, towards the end of the 1960s it became increasingly clear that rail closures were not bringing the rail system out of deficit and were unlikely ever to do so. Transport minister Barbara Castle stipulated that some rail services that could not pay their way but had a valuable social role should be subsidised. Legislation allowing this was introduced into the 1968 Transport Act (Section 39 made provision for a subsidy to be paid by the Treasury for a three-year period). Whether this affected the size of the network is questionable: the criteria for reprieving loss-making lines had not altered, merely the way their costs appeared in the railways accounts—previously their contribution to the railways overall loss was hidden in the total deficit. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    of psychological effects and physical effects. Throughout history, it has been extremely difficult for people to live up to the standards of society and what they believe the ideal body is. There are many factors that lead to a person’s body image, some of these include: family dynamics, biological predispositions (e.g., depression and anxiety), and cultural expectations (e.g., Media depictions of body shape|media and politics). People are constantly told and shown the cosmetic appeal of weight loss and are warned about the risks of obesity; this is something that can lead to a change in a person's body image. According to Dr. Aric Sigman, a British biologist, some women who see underweight women will have an immediate change in brain chemistry which diminishes self-esteem and can increase self-loathing. Often, people who have a low body image will try to alter their bodies in some way, such as by dieting or undergoing cosmetic surgery. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    study done at Old Dominion University, Thomas F. Cash, Julie R. Ancis and Melissa D. Strachan studied college women and their attitudes toward gender, feminist identity and body image. Relative to men, women are considerably more psychologically invested in their appearance. Moreover, women's poor evaluations of and stronger investments in their looks potentiate greater body-image dysphoria in women's daily lives.Cash, T. F., Ancis, J. R. (1997). Gender attitudes, feminist identity, and body image among college women. Sex Roles, 36(7/8), 433-447. A contributing factor in this scenario that leads women to greater objectify of their bodies are the images that are seen throughout media. Women who are portrayed in the media often possess unattainable beauty. Furthermore, the social construct of femininity is partially tied to perceived beauty, as evinced by the 'what is beautiful sex-typed' stereotype.

  998. Copernican model - Acceptance of Copernican heliocentrism 1  However, for

    his contemporaries, the ideas presented by Copernicus were not markedly easier to use than the geocentric theory and did not produce more accurate predictions of planetary positions. Copernicus was aware of this and could not present any observational proof, relying instead on arguments about what would be a more complete and elegant system. The Copernican model appeared to be contrary to common sense and to contradict the Bible. Tycho Brahe's arguments against Copernicus are illustrative of the physical, theological, and even astronomical grounds on which heliocentric cosmology was rejected. Tycho, arguably the most accomplished astronomer of his time, appreciated the elegance of the Copernican system, but objected to the idea of a moving Earth on the basis of physics, astronomy, and religion. The Aristotelian physics of the time (modern Newtonian physics was still a century away) offered no physical explanation for the motion of a massive body like Earth, but could easily explain the motion of heavenly bodies by postulating that they were made of a different sort of substance called Aether (classical element)|aether that moved naturally. So Tycho said that the Copernican system “... expertly and completely circumvents all that is superfluous or discordant in the system of Ptolemy. On no point does it offend the principle of mathematics. Yet it ascribes to the Earth, that hulking, lazy body, unfit for motion, a motion as quick as that of the aethereal torches, and a triple motion at that.”Owen Gingerich, The eye of heaven: Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, New York: American Institute of Physics, 1993, 181, ISBN 0-88318-863-5 Likewise, Tycho took issue with the vast distances to the stars that Copernicus had assumed in order to explain why the Earth's motion produced no visible changes in the appearance of the fixed stars (known as annual stellar parallax). Tycho had measured the apparent sizes of stars (now known to be illusory– see stellar Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude), and used geometry to calculate that in order to both have those apparent sizes and be as far away as heliocentrism required, stars would have to be huge (the size of Earth's orbit or larger, and thus much larger than the sun). Regarding this Tycho wrote, “Deduce these things geometrically if you like, and you will see how many absurdities (not to mention others) accompany this assumption [of the motion of the earth] by inference.” He said his Tychonic system, which incorporated Copernican features into a geocentric system, “offended neither the principles of physics nor Holy Scripture”.Gingerich, O. Voelkel, J. R., [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998JHA....29....1G# J. Hist. Astron., Vol. 29, 1998], page 1 Thus many astronomers accepted some aspects of Copernicus's theory at the expense of others. His model did have a large influence on later scientists such as Galileo Galilei|Galileo and Johannes Kepler, who adopted, championed and (especially in Kepler's case) sought to improve it. However, in the years following publication of de Revolutionibus, for leading astronomers such as Erasmus Reinhold, the key attraction of Copernicus's ideas was that they reinstated the idea of uniform circular motion for the planets.#Reference-Gingerich-2004|Gingerich (2004), pp.23, 55 https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

  1008. Novels - The acceptance of the novel as literature 1 

    New classics were added to the market and the English, Select Collection of Novels in six volumes (1720–22), is a milestone in this development. It included Huet's Treatise, along with the European tradition of the modern novel of the day: that is, novella from Niccolò Machiavelli|Machiavelli's to Marie de La Fayette's masterpieces. Aphra Behn's prose fictions had appeared as novels in the 1680s but when reprinted in collections, her works became classics. François Fénelon|Fénelon's Telemachus (1699/1700) became a classic within three years after its publication. New authors now entered the market ready to use their own personal names as authors of fiction. Eliza Haywood followed the footsteps of Aphra Behn when, in 1719, she used her name with unprecedented pride. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  1009. Young Earth creationism - Lack of scientific acceptance 1  Around

    the start of the 19th century mainstream science abandoned the concept of an Earth with an age younger than millions of years. The six-orders- of-magnitude difference between YEC estimates of the age of creation and the measurements of the various biological, geological, and astronomical timescales provide for a stark contrast in possibilities. For example, all YEC estimates for the age of creation are younger than measurements of the Pottery#History|age of the most ancient pottery discovered, the Dendochronology#Sampling and dating|year-by-year accounting of the record of tree rings, the Ice core#Dating cores|age of ice cores, and the starlight problem|observation of any star more distant than 10,000 light years. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html
  1010. Young Earth creationism - Lack of scientific acceptance 1  Spokespersons

    for the scientific community have generally regarded attempts to argue that young Earth creationism has a scientific basis as being little more than religiously motivated pseudoscience because young Earth creationism starts from the premise that their interpretation of the Bible is a literal description of the development of the universe, and only then proceeds to adopt corroborating evidence to fit their perspective. In 1997, a poll by the Gallup organization showed that 5% of U.S. adults with professional degrees in science took a young Earth creationist view. In the aforementioned poll, 40% of the same group said that they believed that life, including humans, had evolved over millions of years, but that God guided this process, a view described as theistic evolution, while 55% held a view of naturalistic evolution in which no God took part in this process. Some scientists (such as Hugh Ross (creationist)|Hugh Ross and Gerald Schroeder) who believe in creationism are known to subscribe to other forms such as Old Earth creationism which posits an act of creation that took place millions or billions of years ago, with variations on the timing of the creation of mankind. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

    October 2008, Ricardo M. Urbina, a United States federal judge, ordered the immediate release of seventeen Chinese Uighurs from Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp| Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp (the Uighur detainees in Guantanamo). The United States had previously determined that the Uighurs were never terrorists, and it no longer considered them enemy combatants. Judge Urbina ruled that their detention is illegal because their indefinite detention was without cause. The United States continued to detain the Uighurs, believing their lives would be in danger if they were released to China. There was considerable political pressure from members of Congress not to release the Uighurs in the United States, and the United States had a difficult time finding another country willing to accept them. Eventually, the Republic of Palau announced that it would accept the remaining Uighurs on a temporary basis. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-acceptance-toolkit.html

However, the Colonial Government had been maintaining the lighthouse built on it, and [t]his by international usage no doubt confers some rights and obligations on the Colony. He therefore asked if there is any document showing a lease or grant of the rock or whether it has been ceded by the Government of the State of Johore or in any other way disposed of.Pedra Branca case, para. 192. The Acting State Secretary of Johor, M. Seth bin Saaid, replied on 21 September that the Johore Government does not claim ownership of Pedra Branca.Pedra Branca case, para. 196.

Two years later, in 1965, Singapore became a fully independent republic. In 1959, in an official publication regarding meteorology|meteorological information collected on Pedra Branca, Malaya listed Horsburgh Lighthouse as a Singapore station together with the Sultan Shoal Lighthouse|Sultan Shoal and Raffles Lighthouses. The lighthouse on Pedra Branca was described in the same way in a joint Malaysian and Singaporean publication in 1966, the year after Singapore left the Federation. In 1967, when the two countries began reporting meteorological information separately, Malaysia ceased referring to Horsburgh Lighthouse.Pedra Branca case, para. 265. In maps published by the Malayan and Malaysian Surveyor General and Director of General Mapping in 1962, 1965, 1970, 1974 and 1975, the island was indicated with the word (SINGAPORE) or (SINGAPURA) under it.

He said Singapore was an honest, law-abiding state that has never and will never do anything to endanger navigational safety, security arrangements or the Singapore Strait's environment. Rather, it was Malaysia that had sought to alter the status quo by publishing a map in 1979 that altered maritime boundaries with seven neighbouring countries.
