	Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In all dating systems, centuries are essentially numbered ordinally, as time is a purely relative notion (its physical existence, though indispensable for our understanding of reality, still remains unproven in theory).
		Thus Ab Urbe Condita counts the Year 1 as the founding of Rome; Anno Domini as the first full year of Jesus Christ's life; the Islamic Calendar as the year of the Hejira, so it is also latinized as Anno Hejira.
		In these cardinal dating systems, it is perfectly logical to use 0 to 99 as the first century, and to regard 2000 as the first year of the twenty-first century.

		Likewise, there is a "first year before the chosen origin", a "second year before the chosen origin", etc. This terminology is not a proposed definition, but a consequence of the meaning of the words "first", "second", etc. in the English language, or any other natural language for that matter.
		Likewise there is a notion of the first decade after the chosen origin, the first century, and the first millennium.
		Likewise the first millennium ends at the end of the 1000th year, and the second millennium at the end of the 2000th year after the chosen origin.

		The first year of our civil callendar was called A.D. 1, and that is when the first century began.
		Because a century consists of 100 calendar years, the first century included the years 1 through 100.
		And it feels right to regard the date of Jan. 1, 2000, as the first day of the next millennium, just as it feels right (and technically is right) to celebrate the dawn of a new year at midnight rather than at 1 in the morning.

		Only the first two major categories will be considered here, since it is arguable whether there is any role for strategic nuclear forces in dealing with terrorism and substate threats.
		First, one could employ a small number of existing weapons designs to retain a traditional counterforce deterrent strategy.
		To first order, the cost of maintaining the DOE nuclear weapons complex is independent of the number of weapons in the stockpile.

		The year 0 would then become the first in the Christian era, the years 0 to 99 would be called century 0, the years 1900 to 1999 would constitute century 19, and the confusion over the turn of the century would cease.

	The First Century
		Later, in the second century, Justin Martyr would teach that this destruction was the judgment of God upon a nation that had rejected its Messiah and failed to discern that, under the new dispensation, the temple sacrifices were abrogated.
		He also claimed that Jesus was simply the natural son of Joseph and Mary, and that a separate supernatural being, the Christ, came upon Jesus at his baptism and departed at his crucifixion.
		According to the third century bishop Dionysius of Alexandria, “the doctrine he taught was this: that the kingdom of Christ will be an earthly one.” Cerinthus “was himself devoted to the pleasures of the body and altogether sensual in his nature.” In Dionysius’ day, some claimed that Cerinthus wrote the book of Revelation.

	I. Wallerstein, , "The Rise of East Asia, or The World-System in the Twenty-First Century"
		What most people have had in mind is, first of all, the extraordinary rise on all economic indicators of Japan, compared even with the 1960's; secondly, the subsequent rise of the so-called four dragons; and most recently, the continuing pattern of economic growth in southeast Asia and the People's Republic of China.
		At first, radicalism/socialism sought to revive itself in various guises: as the multiple, short-lived Maoisms of the early 1970's, and as the so-called new left movements (Greens, identity movements, radical feminism, and others) which have been longer-lived but which have not entirely shed the flavor of being avatars of the pre-1968 liberalism.
		First and foremost, it has meant the serious discrediting of the Old Left, the erstwhile antisystemic movements - the national liberation movements in the ex-colonial world, the populist movements in Latin America, but also the Communist parties in Europe (east and west) and the social-democratic/labor movements in western Europe and North America.

		The first step toward opening the door of ijtihad, according to Qazwini, should be the liberation of religious establishments from the influence of political regimes.
		In the twentieth century, Islam suffered humiliation on many fronts, because of colonialism, the dismemberment of the Caliphate, and the abolition of Islamic law by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in Turkey.
		An example of this is the difficulty that Muslim scholars had in the nineteenth century in condemning slavery and advocating its abolition.

		The latter is the first full moon that occurs either on or after the day of the spring equinox.

		Our new military bases are essentially the 21st century version of the old European warships; the difference being that, once built, the base remains in place, while its parts -- the modern equivalents of those 16th century cannons -- are capable of moving over land or water almost anywhere.

	Sienkewicz: Promoting Latin in CAMWS' First Century and Beyond
		To a certain extent the history of Latin in American schools in CAMWS' first century is a history of declining enrollments.
		During the same century, Latin teachers have responded to this decline by developing a variety of ways to promote the study of Latin in schools, in colleges and in the community-at-large and the declining numbers have been turned around.
		This presentation is intended to serve not only as a history of efforts to promote Latin during the 20th century but also as an opportunity to adapt these earlier efforts to the new challenges of the 21st century and of CAMWSí second century.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: The Role of Unions in the Twenty-first Century
		The volume consists of two reports that are the results of coordinated efforts by some of the most authoritative scholars in the field.
		The first study addresses a number of issues related to the question of how the primary role of trade unions—collective bargaining over wages and work conditions—is likely to evolve in the early decades of the new millennium.
		Starting from the widespread impression of a trend toward weakening union power, the main aspects considered by the analysis are membership, wage effects, organization and presence of unions, bargaining structure, macroeconomic performance, future scenarios, and strategies.

	Reading the Book of the Heart from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century: a Valentine's Day feature
		In later centuries, monks and scholars developed the book of the heart by allegorizing every aspect of the manuscript codex and its uses, from its polished vellum (piety) to its securing clasp (secrecy), and from checking the text for errors (accuracy of memory) to regular daily reading (heart-felt devotion).
		According to one twelfth-century scholar, "Each person carries in his heart a written record, as it were, whereby his conscience accuses or defends him." The inner book thus represented not only the unique human individual but also the secret or private self—a crucial contribution to the modern concept of the person.
		The same artist painted another, similar portrait, now at the National Gallery in London, which depicts the subject specifically as an author or scribe, as indicated by the pen case and inkwell lying on the nearby ledge or window sill.
