 National Islamic Front
The National Islamic Front began life as the Islamic Charter Front and was known as the Muslim Brotherhood during the 1970s, taking its inspiration as a modern, urban-based Islamic party from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Dr Hassan al-Turabi, who has been recognised as the eminence grise of the regime, has been the prime architect of the NIF as a modern Islamist party.
In the 1986 general elections, however, the NIF won less than 10 per cent of the popular vote, and Dr Turabi failed to secure a seat in his Khartoum constituency.

 Kernstown
The Confederate line of battle was 2 miles long, extending in a semi-circle from a ravine near the Front Royal road on the east to near the Cedar Creek road on the west.
The Strasburg or Valley pike is the middle or center of three roads leading into Win- chester from the south, the other two being the Cedar Creek road on the west and the Front Royal road on the east.
The position was so skilfully concealed, however, that when Kimball placed his brigade on an eminence to the east of the road no enemy was to be seen except Ashby's cavalry which had been repulsed the night before.

 III. Syndesmology. 7b. The Knee-joint. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
Into the groove on the medial condyle is fitted the anterior part of the medial meniscus, while the anterior cruciate ligament and the articular margin in front of the medial process of the tibial intercondyloid eminence are received into the forepart of the intercondyloid fossa of the femur.
Behind the capsule consists of vertical fibers which arise from the condyles and from the sides of the intercondyloid fossa of the femur; the posterior part of the capsule is therefore situated on the sides of and in front of the cruciate ligaments, which are thus excluded from the joint cavity.
The lateral condyle of the femur is brought almost to rest by the tightening of the anterior cruciate ligament; it moves, however, slightly forward and medialward, pushing before it the anterior part of the lateral meniscus.

 Chapter 2 Fort Binidayan
The column had advanced about a half mile when it was halted to allow the artillery to come into action on an eminence overlooking a small fort toward the right front.
The column advanced three or four hundred yards and halted; the battery began shelling Binidayan, which appeared very strong and was directly in our front, about fourteen hundred yards distant.
On the arrival of the American troops in the vicinity of Fort Binidayan, General Davis sent a letter to the hostile Moro sultan, giving him until noon, May 2nd, to surrender the two murderers of American soldiers and return stolen horses, or to send a peace delegation to discuss matters of mutual interest.

 BRAIN - LoveToKnow Article on BRAIN
Anteriorly the fissure is arrested by the recurved process of the upper part of the hippocampal gyros, called the uncus, and in front of this a slight sulcus, the incisura tern poralis, marks off the temporal pole or tip of the temporal lobe from the region of the uncus.
upper boundary of the hinder part of the Sylvian fissure; as this gyros occupies the hollow in the parietal bone, which corresponds to the eminence, it may appropriately be named the gyrus of the parietal eminence.
At the base of the brain, and opposite the fissures between the convolutions of the cerebrum, the interval between the arachnoid and the pia mater can, however, always be seen, for the arachnoid does not, like the pia mater, clothe the sides of the fissures, but passes directly across between the summits of adjacent convolutions.

 Fascism In Britain
Again, in the section on the post-war period there is little description of the activities of the anti-fascists, and such significant events as the 1977 battle of Lewisham (at which the National Front were effectively routed), are not even mentioned.
While Mosley's pre-eminence on the far-Right was unchallenged to any great extent before the Second World War, in the post-war period is was the racial fanaticism of Arnold Leese and the apologists for Hitler who started to dominate the far-Right.
Thurlow describes how the mutually competing factions of the anti-Mosley far-Right started to coalesce around Leese and AK Chesterton, eventually forming the core of the National Front and the British Movement.

 Encyclopedia: Humerus
The lateral portion of this surface consists of a smooth, rounded eminence, named the capitulum of the humerus; it articulates with the cupshaped depression on the head of the radius, and is limited to the front and lower part of the bone.
The lateral epicondyle is a small, tuberculated eminence, curved a little forward, and giving attachment to the radial collateral ligament of the elbow-joint, and to a tendon common to the origin of the Supinator and some of the Extensor muscles.
These fossæ are separated from one another by a thin, transparent lamina of bone, which is sometimes perforated by a supratrochlear foramen; they are lined in the fresh state by the synovial membrane of the elbow-joint, and their margins afford attachment to the anterior and posterior ligaments of this articulation.

Behind this groove is a transverse elevation, the olivary eminence (22), which marks the junction of the pre- and basi- sphenoid parts of the body of the sphenoid bone.
The lateral expanded part of the middle cranial fossa is bounded in front by the great wing of thesphenoid (alisphenoid), behind by the front of the petrous part of the temporal (periotic) and laterally by the squamous part of the temporal (squamosal).
Below the face is the inner surface of the body and ramus of the mandible, and half-way down the latter is the inferior dental foramen where the inferior dental branch of the fifth nerve accompanied by its, artery passes into the inferior dental canal in the substance of the bone to supply the lower teeth.

 Battle of Tsushima
Occurring near the end of the Russo-Japanese war, the battle of Tsushima was a decisive setback for the Russians, and signaled the rise of Japanese pre-eminence in the Western Pacific.
This maneuver allows the attacking fleet to fire full broadsides against only the front batteries of the opposing ships; the offender thus has greater firepower at the point of attack and engages the opposing ships singlely rather than as a complete battleline.
While Japanese sailors and leadership proved more adept than the Russians, the Tsushima victory cannot be ascribed to genius on the part of Togo; rather it is a result of monumental incompetence by the Russians.

 Amazon.ca: Books: Menninger: The Family and the Clinic
Thanks to the unprecedented access to clinic and personal archives and interviews, Friedman traces the Foundation's evolution since 1909 from a family-run organization to a corporate entity, a transformation masterminded by Will's son Roy--who wants to see to it that the clinic regains its "united front" national eminence despite ongoing sibling and factional rivalries.
In a scholarly and absorbing family biography and history of the Menninger Foundation, perhaps the foremost U.S. psychiatric treatment, training and research center, Friedman ( Gregarious Saints), Bowling Green State University (Ohio) history professor, focuses on the social and emotional links uniting family and institution.
Examined in light of developments in contemporary medicine and world events--notably the huge toll of psychiatric casualities in World War II--much of the story revolves around the rivalry between Menninger brothers Karl and Will, and power struggles among staff members, many of them European-trained emigres who advocated diverse schools of mental therapy.

The margin of this opening is irregular; it presents in front a prominent ridge, surmounted by a sharp spine, the lingula mandibulae, which gives attachment to the sphenomandibular ligament; at its lower and back part is a notch from which the mylohyoid groove runs obliquely downward and forward, and lodges the mylohyoid vessels and nerve.
In some cases the mental spines are fused to form a single eminence, in others they are absent and their position is indicated merely by an irregularity of the surface.
The lower border of the ramus is thick, straight, and continuous with the inferior border of the body of the bone.

With a very small membership the ITP preached a form of revolutionary nationalism that attacked capitalism and looked to the Strasser brothers and writers like Hilaire Belloc and G.K. Chesterton for inspiration.
