 Middle Ages - Search View - MSN Encarta
Since the Middle Ages covers such a large span of time, historians divided it into three parts: the Early Middle Ages, lasting from about 350 to about 1050; the High Middle Ages, lasting from about 1050 to about 1300; and the Late Middle Ages, lasting from about 1300 to about 1450.
Historians once thought that the Middle Ages began with the fall of the Roman Empire, but there was no decisive moment at which the Roman Empire fell or the Middle Ages began.
By the end of the Middle Ages, Europe was organized into strong, prosperous, competitive, and aggressive states, and European explorers and traders were launching expeditions to China, Africa, and eventually the Americas.

 California Courts: Rules: Title Four: Rule 4.420. Selection of base term of imprisonment
The middle term shall be selected unless imposition of the upper or lower term is justified by circumstances in aggravation or mitigation.
The use of a fact of an enhancement to impose the upper term of imprisonment is an adequate reason for striking the additional term of imprisonment, regardless of the effect on the total term.
Section 1170(b) requires, however, that the middle term be selected unless there are circumstances in aggravation or mitigation of the crime, and requires that the court set forth on the record the facts and reasons for imposing the upper or lower term.

 Guitar Theory Resources Where Is Middle C
Middle " C " on the piano is the note " in the middle " between the Treble and Bass Clefs.
The middle line was the C ledger line, hence the term middle C. The Great Staff was too large and confusing for reading music, and was divided into two sections, the top 5 ledger lines became the Treble Cleff and the bottom 5 lines became the Bass Cleff.
So to finally get to the point about where middle C is on the guitar, the actual pitch of middle C is the C note played on the second string, first fret which is written in the third space up on the Treble Cleff.

One of those terms must be used as the subject term of the conclusion of the syllogism, and we call it the minor term of the syllogism as a whole.

The third term in the syllogism doesn't occur in the conclusion at all, but must be employed in somewhere in each of its premises; hence, we call it the middle term.

 The Transition to Middle School. ERIC Digest.
In Diemert's survey of 23 fifth-graders in a middle level school, of the top 11 (out of 23 possible) needs identified by boys, 6 were social, 2 were academic, 2 were procedural, and 1 was academic and procedural.
Students making the transition into middle level schools need to receive assistance prior to, during, and after the move so that their social, psychological, and academic well-being is not compromised.
Effective middle level transition programs establish a sense of belonging among the multiple constituencies involved, appropriately respond to the needs of the incoming students, and provide multiple opportunities for all constituencies to develop a meaningful role during the transition process as well as maintain that role throughout the school year.

 Ken Olson on the Testimonium as a middle term. (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
However, this same term is also used now for individual pericopes in the synoptic tradition and is applied to the content of each text as well as to its order.
In my example of the Beelzebub controversy, for instance, Matthew is sometimes called the middle term, yet Mark and Luke do agree against Matthew in several trivial instances, and such agreements would have to be counted, say, in a statistical study of the pericope.
The significance of a middle term, provided that there are enough parallels to make the probe worthwhile, is that such a textual relationship is not an expected result of three independent testimonies to the same event (in this case the execution of Jesus).

 Problems in the middle (Atomiq)
In the middle, many algorithms don't work that well with moderate document sets, context becomes much more important, interaction is critical, and you can't get the user "in the ballpark" anymore--you have to get them to right to the thing they're looking for.
Middle problems (of the information architecture/interaction design sort) create a healthy creative tension between users, context, design, technology and business goals which can't be resolved by one discipline alone.

The term middle age is first found in the fourteenth century, where we also see the now-obsolete expressions middle eld and middle life.
The Middle Ages can be loosely defined as the time in European history between classical antiquity and the Renaissance, or roughly from the late fifth century to the fifteenth century, but again, this is a fluid range.
Sometimes the Middle Ages are held to begin around A.D. 1000, with the earlier period being the Dark Ages, and the end of the Middle Ages can be variously reckoned as 1350, 1400, 1450, or 1500.
