Upon acceptance, the defendant usually has 15 days to offer his answer, under penalty of default. The defendant can answer the initial petition with one of three different responses: a tradition answer (contestação), a counterclaim (recovenção) or an exception (exceção). The contestação acts as an inverse of the initial petition: it includes the defendant´s own factual allegations and legal citations that contend against the plaintiff's charges, as well as supporting documentation and evidence.

Those who attended the meetings would eat, drink, talk, and dance, sometimes all night long in the forest or caves, at times consuming mind-altering herbs and ointments.

Buddhist texts portray Śāriputra as someone who took an active role in debating and converting heretics, considered to have been one of his great prerogatives. In the Mūlasarvāstivāda tradition, when the six heretical teachers of the time challenged the Buddhists to a contest, the Buddha had Śāriputra contend against them. Mūlasarvāstivāda texts state that Śāriputra used psychic powers to create a huge storm and transform himself into various forms, subduing the rival teachers and converting the residents of Savatthi. When the monk Devadatta created a schism in the Buddha's monastic community and led some of the Buddha's disciples away, Śāriputra played a key role in restoring the community.

Kandagawa is undoubtedly best known to American audiences from his involvement with the cult-hit Iron Chef. As a leader of a large faction of chefs who believe in the purity of traditional Japanese cuisine, he rarely entered Kitchen Stadium without a large entourage of other chefs, and often supported apprentices in their challenges of the Iron Chefs. His role in Iron Chef's storylines was the same as a heel in the world of professional wrestling, an aggressive and somewhat bullying persona for the Iron Chefs to contend against. He personally battled the Iron Chefs on several occasions, winning 3 of his 5 battles.

Having heard medical evidence from Police Surgeon Dr George Bagster Phillips during the inquest into Annie Chapman's murder, Baxter said: > "The body had not been dissected, but the injuries had been made by someone > who had considerable anatomical skill and knowledge.

8 He was indefatigable in his efforts to remove the causes of poverty, to enable people to lead lives worth living, to contend against indifference and lack of concern. His sources of strength were music and literature, conversations with friends on subjects close to his heart, and his scholarly research. He was to produce three fine essays on the history of Kinsale; his untimely death cut short both his historical research as well as his studies of the life and music of Chopin for a book he had planned to write. He died at Golding's Private Hospital in Wellington Road, Cork on 16 November 1940, aged 55.

In the Remarks, Squire used natural law theory to contend against Carte's support of the House of Stuart, and in A Letter he satirised Carte by mocking his interpretation of the past in terms of the present. Squire also published two works on English history, An Enquiry into the Foundation of the English Constitution (1745) and Historical Essay upon the Balance of Civil Power in England (1748). In An Enquiry, Squire wrote on the German and Anglo-Saxon love of liberty and constitutionalism. In his Historical Essay, Squire wrote that liberty depended upon an equipoise among competing institutions and groups in society, suggesting that whenever such an equipoise collapses an arbitrary government takes its place.

On 7 January 1805 Cornwallis was again appointed to the positions of Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief of India; after a difficult passage he reached Madras on 19 July, and on 30 July he resumed his duties. William Hickey wrote that Cornwallis had become "a wreck of what he had been when formerly in Bengal", and another aide noted that "his constitution was less equal to contend against the effects of this climate". In spite of declining health and mental faculties, Cornwallis began a trip by boat to visit army outposts northwest of Calcutta. On the journey he wrote to General Gerard Lake, then commanding the forces in the war with the Marathas, insisting that peace be made.

400); and that Brazil had neither the men nor the money for carrying on a prolonged war (pp.408–9). A subsequent article (August 1867) stated its pro-Paraguayan sympathy in terms: "The bravery with which they contend against the allies renders them deserving of success, even if their cause was not so good as it is", describing the Allies' pretensions as "impudent", "absurd", and "so outrageous that only an idiot could be made to believe it" (pp. 577–8). Colburn's United Service Magazine and Naval and Military Journal of London admitted that the Brazilian navy had > achieved what some excellent judges of such matters considered very nearly > an impossibility.

Sydney wool merchants and shipping interests, and businesses along the road to Sydney, were opposed to the road and the new port. Soon after the road opened, in January 1842, an anonymous report of difficulties using it appeared, which included a prediction that, "it is doubtful if ever it will be completed and when finished, a constant thoroughfare to the sea coast; inasmuch as the route is chiefly barren scrub, and badly watered." A year later, in January 1843, an article in the Sydney Morning Herald stated that, "The township, the wharf, and the road, have all still to contend against the evil reports which have been so industriously circulated respecting them by interested parties". There was some factual basis for such negative views.

In a road test by Radio Control Car Action's Steve Pond, against its primary competitors; Yokomo YZ-870C, Schumacher CAT XLS and Kyosho Optima Mid SE, those of which was tipped to contend against at the 1989 IFMAR 4WD Off-Road Worlds, it was considered the most challenging to assemble in contrast to its competitors, although no less to the Schumacher. The test claimed the car would have been a strong contender, had it had fewer parts. Criticisms also included "excessive weight" as claimed it "took a toll on acceleration" and "erratic handling prevented it from turning consistently fast laps." Most damning of all was its suspension geometry as its "most serious problem" with "very limited travel combined with equally poor rear suspension, impedes the car's ability to track effectively".

Separating the inmates was intended to serve three purposes: to direct treatment to those who most needed it; to deter others from pauperism; and as a physical barrier against illness, physical and mental. The commissioners argued that buildings based on Kempthorne's plans would be symbolic of the recent changes to the provision of poor relief; one assistant commissioner expressed the view that they would be something "the pauper would feel it was utterly impossible to contend against", and "give confidence to the Poor Law Guardians". Another assistant commissioner claimed the new design was intended as a "terror to the able- bodied population", but the architect George Gilbert Scott was critical of what he called "a set of ready-made designs of the meanest possible character". Some critics of the new Poor Law noted the similarities between Kempthorne's plans and model prisons, and doubted that they were merely coincidental - Richard Oastler went as far as referring to the institutions as 'prisons for the poor'.
