Roughly, we have (1) the adoptionism of Elipandus and Felix in the eighth century; (2) the Neo-Adoptionism of Abelard in the twelfth century; (3) the qualified Adoptionism of some theologians from the fourteenth century on.
It was to maintain his position that Elipandus deftly enlisted the co-operation of Felix of Urgel, known for his learning and versatile mind.
Felix, after many insincere recantations, was placed under the surveillance of Leidrad of Lyons and gave all the signs of a genuine conversion.

 Recoil operation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Recoil operation is a type of locked-breech firearm actions used in automatic firearms.
Developed in 1900, the long recoil action is over a century old, and dominated the automatic shotgun market for more than half that century, before it was supplanted by new gas operated designs.
Long recoil operated firearms have a distinct "double recoil" feel to them, the "first recoil" being the halting of the rearward motion of the bolt and barrel, and the "second recoil" being the heavy barrel returning to battery.

 Ciba Review 64: Cotton and Cotton Trade in the Middle Ages
In the city records fustian and linen weavers are mentioned separately as early as 1377, and in the second half of the fifteenth century brotherhoods of fustian weavers are frequently mentioned.
Already in the thirteenth century the "fustaneros", the weavers of fustian, were organized in a guild, and old street names show to this day where they carried on their trade.
The most remarkable use to which fustian was put in the early days of the cotton trade was the practice of making it part of the incendiary arrows which took the place of incendiary bombs and bullets before the invention of fire-arms.

 RUSSIA AND THE PROBLEM OF KURIL ISLANDS. TACTICS OF DEFENSE OR STRATEGY OF SURRENDER?
The most prominent Japanese historians of the past unambiguously pointed out that up to the middle of XIX century Japan hadn’t considered its property both Sakhalin (which, they thought, was a peninsula) and Kuril Islands, and even Hokkaido Island, which at the second half of XIX century hadn’t been yet populated.
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski was beleaguered and though the attack of British landing party was repelled, the port was forced to be evacuated to Nikolaevsk-on-Amur.
Japanese side (and at the beginning of 1990s Russian diplomats) interpreted these words as an evidence that the islands at issue hadn’t belonged to Russia until 1855 and the government of Russia itself knew about it and hadn’t considered Kuril islands to the South of Urup a territory of Russia.
