  Symphony No. 8 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eighth Symphony belongs to a class of works in Beethoven's output that have tended to attract less attention: not overtly heroic, nor expressive of impassioned or dark emotions, but (it would seem) meant simply to be musically delightful, as many of the works of Haydn and Mozart were.
The premiere of the Eighth Symphony took place on February 27, 1814, at a concert at which the mighty Seventh Symphony (which had been premiered two months earlier) was also played.
The Eighth Symphony is written for a Classical orchestra consisting of 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and the usual string section of first and second violins, violas, cellos, and double basses.

The U.S. Constitution styles itself the "supreme law of the land." Courts have interpreted this phrase to mean that when laws (including state constitutions) that have been passed by state legislatures, or by the (national) U.S. Congress, are found to conflict with the federal constitution, these laws are ultra vires and have no effect.

 Eighth House · Astrological definition of Eighth House · Astrology Encyclopedia
It has been called the Occult House, the house of hidden things, because in most Eighth House operations the Law of Cause and Effect is difficult to identify, and there is the common human temptation to blame everything upon an inscrutable Providence.
Successive jabs become increasingly severe, and finally to those who refuse to listen and heed, a premature death is inevitable; while to the others, the spiritually adult, every Eighth House operation is a celestial messenger in disguise, and a challenge to penetrate this disguise and become the recipient of the blessing he bears.
As the Second from the Seventh, it represents accumulated non-material riches - that which neither moth nor rust doth corrupt - not the result of the labor of your hand and brain, but of the manner in which you play the game with those to whom you are closely allied.

 The Eighth Dimension | Chabad.org > Parsha > Shemini   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
"And it came to pass on the eighth day..." Thus opens the Torah section of Shemini ("The Eighth") which describes the events of the day on which the Mishkan, the portable sanctuary build by the people of Israel in the Sinai Desert, was inaugerated.
It was "the eighth day" because it followed a seven-day "training" period, during which the Mishkan was erected each morning and and disassembled each evening, and Aaron and his four sons were initiated into the kehunah (priesthood).
This eighth dimension (if we can call it a dimension) has no limitations at all: it transcends and pervades, being beyond nature yet also fully present within it, being equally beyond matter and spirit and equally within them.

 The Eighth Ecumenical Council and the Condemnation of the Filioque
It consists of three parts, a) clarifications concerning the "Eighth Ecumenical Council," b) the significance of the Horos of this Council for the Filioque controversy, and c) a fresh look at the Horos itself of this Council.
The case of the Eighth Ecumenical Council provides the occasion not only for clarifying this divergence, but also for indicating the arbitrary conciliar development of the Church of Rome after its separation from the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
For Roman Catholics the Eighth Ecumenical Council is a Council that was held in Constantinople in 869/870 — also known as the Ignatian Council, because it restored Ignatios to the Patriarchal throne — which among other matters procured the condemnation of Ecumenical Patriarch Photios.
