	Public health - Open Encyclopedia
		This was the case, even though Redi showed in the 17th century that fly eggs were required for maggots to be generated in dung heaps and Lazzaro Spallanzani, in 1768, proved that microbes came from the air, and that regeneration could be prevented by boiling in a hermetically sealed container.
		John believed in the germ theory of disease as opposed to the prevailing miasma theory, which taught correctly that disease was a result of poor sanitation, but was based only upon the prevailing theory of spontaneous generation.
		Microorganisms were first observed around 1680 by Anton van Leeuwenhoek, but it was not until the 1880s, that the culmination of the germ theory of Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur and the production of artificial vaccines, revolutionized the study of infectious disease and introduced the modern era of public health.

	October 1923 Herald of Christ's Kingdom
		7: 9, 10.) Abraham was not under the sentence of the Law; but he had the promise that a blessing would come to him and to all others.
		Abraham, styled the father of the faithful, the Redeemer says, "rejoiced to see My day: and saw it and was glad." (John 8:56.) By faith he saw the Day of Christ, the Millennial Day, the Kingdom well founded; by faith he rejoiced in the glorious reign of righteousness then to be established.
		How little Abraham could have understood that the seed that was to be as the stars of heaven is the spiritual seed, and that the seed that shall be as the sand upon the seashore is the natural seed.

	Lust Over Pendle by A.J. Hall: Chapter 9
		There's heaps of room, though, and nothing of a magical community for miles.
		And, I might add, who are almost certainly sitting on a magical arsenal big enough to turn the surrounding three counties into a great, big, glowing hole in the dark."
		"Remind me to remind you of that next time your Aunt Petunia asks me to give her a magical hand in whisking you off somewhere I don't know, with someone I've never met before, to do something unspecified to you under the general heading of "therapy".

	Judges 15 - Samson Takes on the Philistines
		Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" And they answered, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion." So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.
		Then Samson said: "With the jawbone of a donkey, Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men!" And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath Lehi.
		I really thought that you thoroughly hated her: It's hard to know why Samson's father-in-law thought that Samson hated his wife.

	Fox Mandal - Trainee/Career Opportunities
		Gone are those days when lawyer means "a person wearing black coat, white band and running in the courts and chambers with heaps of papers all around".
		Although in India, that is not quiet the situation, yet lawyers are able to understand that they can build up their practice even on non-litigious matters, although Litigation still constitutes a core area of a law firm's practice.
		This to some extent enables a law student to focus much earlier as to what sort of practice would be best suited for him/her.

	The Sabertooth Journal
		The Sierra Club Foundation and the Alliance for Justice — an association of civil-rights, environmental, mental health, consumer, women's and children's advocacy groups — have asked the Federal Election Commission to exempt their organizations from the new campaign finance law.
		The trophy comprises a piece of wood with two heaps of dried cow dung.
		The new campaign finance law is a crock because Congress can still shake down businesses and gauge taxpayers.

	Nimbin MardiGrass
		The inaugural Marijuana Music Awards held last weekend during Nimbin's Mardi Grass was a great success and heaps of fun for all involved!
		This is vitally important as a first step, but it's only when there's a Mardi Grass happening in every town and when every pot smoker puts their hand up that the laws will change.
		So come this year to Mardi Grass, but remember that it's a drug law reform rally and not just a pot party.

	Edinburgh Evening News - What's On - Janey Godley - Good Godley
		That’s not to say Godley’s some kind of Howard Marks revelling in tales from the wrong side of the law - she is always quick to point out that her in-laws never dealt drugs and stuck to bank jobs.
		She also suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a relative when aged just five, and it’s a measure of her comedic gifts that she can address this weighty issue and get genuine laughs, rather than sympathetic sniffles as she heaps scorn on the deceased offender and examines attitudes to therapy.
		Obviously, there’s little that Godley will shy away from in the way of material, but she also isn’t the sort of comic who rams an inflexible viewpoint down the audience’s throat.

	Ian Cleary's Extended Essay
		Richard II is a tyrant because he is implicated in the death of his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, banishes Henry Bolingbroke, farms out the kingdom for taxation, and defies the law in his seizure of Bolingbroke's lands and possessions to finance his Irish campaign.
		The nobles openly swear to remove Gaveston from England, yet Edward II heaps more titles upon his favourite, and is willing to begin a civil war to defend Gaveston.
		Richard II and Edward II are men who are born to rule, and they feel that ordained monarchs, the state and the king are inseparable; what they have done is right by virtue of the fact that they are monarchs.

		Fortunately, souvenir manufacturers aren't worried about trademarks-neither the emblem of Warsaw, the Mermaid, nor the city colors are protected by law.
		Along with Warsaw souvenirs, stalls around the Old Town are piled up with handicrafts of all kinds: glass and fimo figures, sacral folk images and paintings aspiring to be art.

	Northvegr - The Roman and the Teuton
		Symmachus, his father-in-law, was beheaded; and Pope John, as we have heard, was thrown into prison on his return, and died after a few months.
		He sprang up in horror; took to his bed; and there, complaining of a mortal chill, wrapping himself up in heaps of blankets, and bewailing to his physician the death of his two victims, he died sadly in a few days.
		A cord was twisted round his head (probably to extort confession), till his eyes burst from their sockets, and then he was put out of his misery by a club; and so ended the last Roman philosopher.

	dOc DVD Review: Danger: Diabolik (1968)
		Diabolik (John Philip Law) is a master criminal, garbed in a tight black leather suit most of the time, who performs daring robberies and rubs his successes in the face of the police.
		Most memorable is the iconic segment early on as Diabolik and Eva frolic in a round, rotating bed, surrounded by heaps of 10- and 50-dollar bills.
		His portrayal of Diabolik is incredible, with a sense of being constantly in motion; when his body isn't moving, his eyes are.

		Also, Frontier Developments could look to the opensource community itself for tools for their website: there are many excellent CGI scripts around from the small and simple to the comprehensive.

		Its location at the end of Park Lane, well away from housing make it a perfect area for dumping and burning out stolen cars, and the spoil heaps just behind it attract more and more scrambler motor bikes which use the area of the Morris Dancers Ground as a convenient turning point.
		In 1984 on the occasion of the revival of The Abram Morris Dance the dance was once again performed on the Morris Dancers Ground.
