	Saint Thomas Aquinas
		Thomas was born in 1225 at Roccasecca, a hilltop castle from which the great Benedictine abbey of Montecassino is not quite visible, midway between Rome and Naples.
		Thomas describes logic as dealing with "second intentions," that is, with relations which attach to concepts expressive of the natures of existent things, first intentions.
		Thomas emphasizes those passages in the Aristotelian natural writings which speak of the order of determination, that is, of what considerations come first and are presupposed to those that come later.

		Alma testified that her knowledge of guns was acquired from watching television and that when she first saw Gabriel with the gun, she thought it was fake.
		Alma also testified that the "orange thing" on the gun was "real light," and she thought it could have been dipped in orange paint and pulled out.
		Given Alma's testimony using the term "gun," her testimony regarding the gun and Paredez's use of the gun, and the weak evidence suggesting that the gun was fake, the evidence is legally and factually sufficient to support the jury's finding that Paredez used a deadly weapon.

	NMWA \| Private Collection \| Profile - Alma Woodsey Thomas
		Thomas was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia.
		When she was invited to exhibit her art at Howard in 1966, Thomas decided to experiment with a new approach, the type of painting for which she is best known today: large canvases filled with dense, irregular patterns made by brushes heavily laden with bright colors.
		A lifelong political activist, Thomas offered weekly art classes to children from Washington's poorest neighborhoods even when she was suffering from severe arthritis.

	Two Columbus Legacies: Alma Thomas and Lamar Baker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Alma Thomas was a woman of color who escaped racial prejudices in the South by moving to Washington, DC, where she eventually became a prominent abstract painter.
		Thomas rejected the notion of painting stereotypically "fl" subjects and instead embraced modernism in her quest to develop a universal language of color and form.
		Alma Thomas, however, was a fiercely modern artist who did not reach her full potential as an artist until age 68 -- after she retired from teaching and devoted her full-time energies to painting.

	yaledailynews.com - Thomas's tie to alma mater remains tense (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Thomas' relationship with Yale is rocky to be sure, observers say, due in large part to the public role many law faculty members took in opposing his 1991 Supreme Court nomination.
		Thomas lived a childhood riddled with poverty, born in the Pinpoint community near Savannah, Ga., in 1948 as the second of three children to a mother who worked as a maid and a father who abandoned the family early in Thomas' life.
		Thomas was the first in his family to graduate from high school and entered the College of the Holy Cross, a Jesuit school in Massachusetts, after the college started a fl recruitment program.

	Scratching the Surface of Book of Mormon Narratives - FARMS Review
		Thomas also seems unaware that modern discussions of typology as a form of symbolic language go back to the early Christian notion of the four senses of scripture (i.e., the literal, the moral or tropological, the allegorical, and the anagogical or mystical meaning) and that "the history of typological exegesis is complex and varied."
		Thomas wants to ensure a separation between church and religion, secular and sacred, to ensure that we don't fall into fascism; this is a curious argument, for fascism is directly a result of modern thought (influenced by Romanticism's valorization of the folk and nationalism's subjugation of the individual to state interests).
		It is implausible for Thomas to claim that he reads the "text itself" free of all interpretation and ideology, that he is free of prejudice: "The Book of Mormon begs readers from both sides of belief to push away the debris of neglect, prejudice, over-reverence, and fear�and begin to read the text itself.

	Art in America: Alma Thomas's late blossoms: an African-American woman artist who emerged in the mid-20th century, ...
		A good place to begin thinking about Alma Thomas's ravishing late work might be the moment in 1964 when, close to paralysis and bedridden, the 73-year-old artist found herself staring at the hollyhock shadows she had known her entire life and calculating how to use them in her paintings.
		Thomas was of the belief that her art was divorced from politics, though her sly inscription of Africanness upon the Matisse cutout seems to contradict that statement.
		The fact that Thomas placed such a high value on the experiential led her to transform the dominant painting language of her particular place and time into a personal idiom that was at once more worldly in its eclecticism and more homespun in its intimacy than the work of the Washington Color Field painters.

	Estate of Mygland, 421 N.W.2d 816 (N.D. 1988)
		Thomas was never married and did not have any children, but he had two sisters, Alma C. Anderson and Olga Tjersland.
		While these petitioners may have "standing" because they have a claim against Thomas' estate as an "interested person," that claim does not guarantee them a jury trial or that they will prevail on their claim, and further analysis of the nature of their claim is necessary.
		Because Thomas' will was clear and unambiguous, we conclude that the lower court correctly determined that the petitioners were not entitled to present extrinsic evidence to determine Thomas' intent, and our analysis turns to the effect of the disposition of property under Thomas' will.

	Alma Thomas: Phantasmagoria, Paintings from the 1970s at the Michael Rosenfeld Gallery - A Review by Donald Goddard
		What the late paintings of Alma Thomas arrive at is not a conclusion, any more than the sky is, or any living thing is. The sky is as clear as it will ever be.
		The bold abstractions of the Washington Color School, of Gene Davis, Kenneth Noland, and others, certainly had a powerful effect in freeing Thomas from traditional representational modes in the 1960s, but it is this coming forward that distinguishes her aesthetic and occupies our consciousness.
		Thomas found her way into and through the maze, across the great, broad world she had created.

		During their childhood in Lafayette, Alma remembered picking a handful or two of cotton when she wanted to.
		At the pinnacle of Alma’s baby birthing years she was already well into a lifelong experience of raising her children to raise their children to raise their children until her third and fourth generations inherited the promises by God.
		By the time Alma Catherine Thomas Stradford moved to Cleveland with her husband, she might have become numb to the pain of child-birthing, child-raising and sacrificing siblings and offspring to a higher purpose.

		Through her art, Alma Thomas contradicted assumptions about appropriate subject matter and styles for African American artists.
		Thomas possessed a lifelong interest in observing nature, beginning with memories of the fields and trees of her childhood home in Georgia, and extending to the various seasons in Washington and the appearance of the earth as viewed from an airplane.
		Through her paintings, Thomas established a global identity that transcended perceived notions of what it meant to be both African American and an artist; although her works relate to her personal experience and observations, they are also a result of her intellectual interest in color theory and her exploration of abstraction.
