The Mission encouraged independence and supported the sometime-residents' nomadic way of life. Duguid's idea of a "buffer zone", however, was a two-edged sword.

Thayre was an early convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, being baptized by Parley P. Pratt on October 10, 1830 after he heard Joseph and Hyrum Smith speak about the Book of Mormon. Shortly after Thayre's baptism, Smith received a revelation that directed Thayre and Northrop Sweet to "open ye your ears and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, whose word is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow, soul and spirit; and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart ".

Kane, p.96 As scholar Charles Drekmeier notes, "dharma stood above the king, and his failure to preserve it must accordingly have disastrous consequences". Because the king's power had to be employed subject to the requirements of the various castes' dharma, failure to "enforce the code" transferred guilt on to the ruler, and according to Drekmeier some texts went so far as to justify revolt against a ruler who abused his power or inadequately performed his dharma. In other words, dharma as both the king's tool of coercion and power, yet also his potential downfall, "was a two-edged sword".
The forewings are rather dark purplish fuscous, in males lighter in the disc.

The hindwings are fuscous.
" Lucas, Doctor Dido, p.313 He reads to the hushed gathering a letter dictated to an orderly by Captain Charles Letourneur, now a mutilé de guerre, describing the horrors of the Crossing of the Beresina and the details of Sophie's death (she had abandoned the safety of Danzig to nurse her wounded husband during the retreat). In the silence that follows, Plampin walks out.

Sword pommel from the Bedale Hoard Pollington describes the sword as "the most symbolically important weapon" of the Anglo-Saxon period, and historian Guy Halsall referred to it as "the most treasured item of early medieval military equipment." In Old English, swords were termed sweord, although other terms used for such weapons included heoru or heru, bill or bile, and mēce or mǣce. Anglo-Saxon swords comprised two-edged straight, flat blades. The tang of the blade was covered by a hilt, which consisted of an upper and lower guard, a pommel, and a grip by which the sword was held.
Dying, he was carried out by Wiglaf, and with his last breaths named Wiglaf his rightful heir. His body was burned on a funeral pyre, and his ashes buried in a barrow by the sea. The last three lines of the poem are, in Seamus Heaney's translation: :They [the Geats] said that of all the kings upon the earth, :he was the man most gracious and fair-minded, :kindest to his people and keenest to win fame. The statement is clear, except for the final word, lof-geornest ('keenest to seek fame'), which is two-edged.
There's also a two-edged homage to that icon of 1930s naughtiness, Betty Boop, with appearances by Betty's prototype, "Boop-a-Doop Girl" Helen Kane (A Lesson In Love), and Betty's actual voice, Mae Questel (Musical Doctor, in which Dr. Rudy Vallee finds musical deficiencies to be the root of all ills). Perhaps the gem of this collection, however, is Office Blues, in which a pre-Astaire and pre-stardom Ginger Rogers cavorts with Broadway chorines in an Art Deco extravaganza. With artists like these on the bill it's clear that the short subject -- not the feature -- was often the highlight of the program!Barrios, Richard.

William Blake: Christian Reading in His Book (Plate 2, 1824–27) As night falls, Christian enters the fearful Valley of the Shadow of Death.
This could be a two- edged sword however for those perpetual curacies, a substantial number, which had by this date become effectively annexed to a neighbouring vicarage or rectory, but which the Pluralities Acts required now to be served as an independent cure; often initially with wholly inadequate endowment and no parsonage house. Although thereafter a "beneficed clergyman", unlike a rector or vicar a nineteenth or twentieth century perpetual curate was neither instituted to receive the spiritualities nor inducted into the temporalities, admission by episcopal licence rendered both ceremonies unnecessary.Neep, E. J. C and Edinger, George, A Handbook of Church Law for the Clergy A. R. Mowbray, 1928, p. 11.
It is in drawing moral conclusions from the behaviour of the characters involved that Marie is at her most individual, reflecting the realities of 12th century feudal society at the same time as concern for the individual welfare of those within it. While she accepts its stratification, her criticism of those who abuse their position is sharp and her sympathy for the plight of the downtrodden is obvious. In particular she criticizes the inequalities of the legal system (The Wolf and the Lamb, The Dog and the Sheep), injudicious choice of deputy and betrayal of faith. Marie's portrayal of women in particular is two-edged and not always consistent.
2011 was a tough year for the Bahamian, as his season partner, Michal Mertiňák, went down with a back injury at the French Open.

Several of the fittings, and perhaps the ring-shaped items, belonged to shield handles. Iron objects included three two-edged swords, two wide and four slim one-edged swords, eight spearheads, four shield bosses, several shield handles, four bridles, a knife, a pair of scissors, and several fittings—including some for the edges of shields—in addition to the helmet. Non-metal objects from the grave included pieces of a green glass cup, mostly melted away, seven fragments of bone game pieces, and some burnt pieces of bone, possibly from a horse. The items were acquired by the Statens historiska museum in 1904, where they were collectively given the inventory number 12,291.
Relations between Hervey and the Welsh appear to have been very bad. The Liber Eliensis described the situation as follows: > Since they [the Welsh] did not show the respect and reverence due to a > bishop, he [Hervey] wielded the sharp two-edged sword to subdue them, > constraining them both with repeated excommunications and with the host of > his kinsmen and other followers. They resisted him nonetheless and pressed > him with such dangers that they killed his brother and intended to deal with > him the same way, if they could lay hands on him.Quoted in Bartlett England > Under the Norman and Angevin Kings p. 93 Hervey was forced to rely on his own armed bands for protection.
Aleister Crowley was highly prolific and wrote on the subject of Thelema for over 35 years, and many of his books remain in print. During his time, there were several who wrote on the subject, including U.S. O.T.O. Grand Master Charles Stansfeld Jones, whose works on Qabalah are still in print, and Major-General J. F. C. Fuller. Jack Parsons was a scientist researching the use of various fuels for rockets at the California Institute of Technology, and one of Crowley's first American students, for a time leading the Agape Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis for Crowley in America. He wrote several short works during his lifetime, some later collected as Freedom is a Two-edged Sword.
Restoration Based only on the size of the skull, the full body size of Loxomma is approximated to be 14 feet long, although it is hard to tell definitively without the presence of any post-cranial bones. They lived between the water and the land feeding on live fish as is evident in the shape of their jaw hinge and their two-edged teeth. Because the nasal bones are paired and the nasal apertures are both anterior and pharyngeal, it is indicated that they did breathe air. The location of the orbits on the skull are raised up higher than the snout allowing for the animal to stick out its eyes while the rest of the body is underwater.
During this period, Parsons also wrote an essay on his individualist philosophy and politics—which he described as standing for "liberalism and liberal principles"—titled "Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword", in which he condemned the authoritarianism, censorship, corruption, antisexualism and racism he saw as prevalent in American society. None of these works were published in his lifetime. Through Heinlein, Parsons received a visit from writer L. Sprague de Camp, with whom he discussed magic and science fiction, and disclosed that Hubbard had sent a letter offering him Sara back. De Camp later referred to Parsons as "An authentic mad genius if I ever met one", and based the character Courtney James on him in his time travel story A Gun for Dinosaur (1956).
The school also included fencing featuring both "singlestick" which used a cudgel or wooden sword for training, and broadsword, which used a two edged weapon used for cutting. Married to his wife Eve, also known as Elizabeth, at London's Bevis Marks Synogogue on 10 July 1818, he had a large family of eleven children.6th of Tamuz, 5578 Synagogual Marriage [10 july 1818] Bevis Marks Synagogue,Bevis Marks,London E3,England (source: Bevis Marks Marriage Records Part II to 1837 - # 1564 - 6th of Tamuz, 5578) (source: Bevis Marks Marriage Records Part II to 1837 - # 1564) He died on 27 January 1839, at the Portuguese Jewish Hospital, on Mile End Road, in Stepney, London, England, at the age of 61. He was buried in the Jewish cemetery near Bethnal Green.
A Rapier () or Espada ropera is type of sword with a slender and sharply- pointed two-edged blade that was popular in Western Europe, both for civilian use (dueling and self-defense) and as a military side arm,Grimm, Deutsches Wörterbuch s.v. "Rapier" cites an Ordnance regulation of Speyer dated 1570 requiring all infantry to be equipped "with good, strong sidearms, namely, either two-handed [swords] or good rapiers" (mit guten starken seitenwehren, nemlich zu beiden händen, oder guten rappieren). throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. Important sources for rapier fencing include the Italian Bolognese group, with early representatives such as Antonio Manciolino and Achille Marozzo publishing in the 1530s, and reaching the peak of its popularity with writers of the early 1600s (Salvator Fabris, Ridolfo Capo Ferro).
Similarly, Altino Matos writing for Journal de Angola saw the film as a message of hope, writing, "With this union of humans and aliens comes a feeling that something better exists in the universe: the respect for life." Cameron confirmed that "the Na'vi represent the better aspects of human nature, and the human characters in the film demonstrate the more venal aspects of human nature." Conversely, David Brooks of The New York Times opined that Avatar creates "a sort of two-edged cultural imperialism", an offensive cultural stereotype that white people are rationalist and technocratic while colonial victims are spiritual and athletic and that illiteracy is the path to grace. A review in the Irish Independent found the film to contrast a "mix of New Age environmentalism and the myth of the Noble Savage" with the corruption of the "civilized" white man.
The pressure toward vendor lock-in was a two-edged blade for the salespeople. It was an advantage in cases where it encouraged the sale of implements (e.g., a farmer decided to purchase not just a tractor but also new implements to replace his old ones, betting on increased productivity to make it worth the cost), but it was a disadvantage to the extent that farmers didn't see the value in a special new hitch if they couldn't afford also to buy new implements to make full use of it or felt uneasy about buying new implements when they already had existing implements that were still usable. Ferguson often faced the latter problem in the UK and Ireland in the 1920s and 1930s, and it also applied to the competitors' proprietary hitches of the 1940s and 1950s.
Excavations at the Celtiberian strongholds Kontebakom-Bel Botorrita, Sekaisa Segeda, TiermesThe Site of Tiermes , official website complement the grave goods found in Celtiberian cemeteries, where aristocratic tombs of the 6th to 5th centuries BC give way to warrior tombs with a tendency from the 3rd century BC for weapons to disappear from grave goods, either indicating an increased urgency for their distribution among living fighters or, as Almagro-Gorbea and Lorrio think, the increased urbanization of Celtiberian society. Many late Celtiberian oppida are still occupied by modern towns, inhibiting archaeology. Metalwork stands out in Celtiberian archaeological finds, partly from its indestructible nature, emphasizing Celtiberian articles of warlike uses, horse trappings and prestige weapons. The two-edged sword adopted by the Romans was previously in use among the Celtiberians, and Latin lancea, a thrown spear, was a Hispanic word, according to Varro.
Byzantine fresco of Saint Mercurius with a sword and helmet, dated 1295, from Ohrid, Macedonia The Byzantines originally used weapons developed from their Roman origins, short swords, spears, javelins, darts, slings and bows etc. However they were gradually influenced by the weapons of their Turkish and Arab neighbors, adopting the use of the composite bow and the cavalry mace There were many sword (xiphos) types; straight, curved, one- and two-handed, which are depicted in illustrations. According to the Strategika, by the sixth century the short Roman gladius had been abandoned in favor of a long two- edged sword, the spathion, used by both the infantry and cavalry. The tenth century Sylloge Tacticorum gives the length of this kind of sword as the equivalent of 94 cm and mentions a new saber-like sword of the same length, the paramerion, a curved one-edged slashing weapon for cavalrymen.
He has also got dismissed playing the cut shot when the ball was too close to his body to cut, especially in limited over matches.The Indian Express, 10 April 2007 Virender Sehwag takes strike for MCCVirender Sehwag is often noted for his extremely attacking style of batting, and in 2005 he was described by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack as the "most exciting opener in the world" due to his aggressive style in Test matches, his strike rate being inferior only to that of Adam Gilchrist and Shahid Afridi. Sehwag has also been noted for his apparent disregard for the match situation, exhibited by aggressive batting even when his team is in a poor position or after being outmanoeuvred by the bowler in the recent past. This is a two-edged sword, as it allows him to not be psychologically hindered by previous failures, but can also lead to excessive aggression.
JPL later credited him for making "distinctive technical innovations that advanced early efforts" in rocket engineering, with aerospace journalist Craig Covault stating that the work of Parsons, Qian Xuesen and the GALCIT Group "planted the seeds for JPL to become preeminent in space and rocketry." Many of Parsons' writings were posthumously published as Freedom is a Two- Edged Sword in 1989, a compilation co-edited by Cameron and O.T.O. leader Hymenaeus Beta (ceremonial name of musician William Breeze), which incited a resurgence of interest in Parsons within occult and countercultural circles. For example, comic book artist and occultist Alan Moore noted Parsons as a creative influence in a 1998 interview with Clifford Meth. The Cameron-Parsons Foundation was founded as an incorporated company in 2006, with the intention of conserving and promoting Parsons' writings and Cameron's artwork, and in 2014 Fulger Esoterica published Songs for the Witch Woman—a limited edition book of poems by Parsons with illustrations by Cameron, released to coincide with his centenary.
The following are quotations from the English translation of the Greek Anthology by W. R. Paton (1920). > To thee, my mother Rhea, nurse of Phrygian lions, whose devotees tread the > heights of Dindymus, did womanish Alexis, ceasing from furious clashing of > the brass, dedicate these stimulants of his madness— his shrill-toned > cymbals, the noise of his deep-voiced flute, to which the crooked horn of a > younger steer gave a curved form, his echoing tambourines, his knives > reddened with blood, and the yellow hair which once tossed on his shoulders. > Be kind, O Queen, and give rest in his old age from his former wildness to > him who went mad in his youth. Greek Anthology, Book VI, 51 > Clytosthenes, his feet that raced in fury now enfeebled by age, dedicates to > thee, Rhea of the lion-ear, his tambourines beaten by the hand, his shrill > hollow-rimmed cymbals, his double-flute that calls through its horn, on > which he once made shrieking music, twisting his neck about, and the two- > edged knife with which he opened his veins.
The Government sued the defendants— Joseph A. Krasnov, Samuel Krasnov, Seymour Krasnov, Sure-Fit Products Co.; Comfy Manufacturing Company, and Fred E. Katzner, President and CEO of Comfy; and Arthur Oppenheimer, The defendants sought to defend the price-fixing charge on the basis of United States v. General Electric Co.. The court found the facts of the case quite different from those of the General Electric case, and rejected the argument: > The price arrangement was not executed in a manner so that its purpose can > be said to have been the protection of the patentee's monopoly with, of > course, the necessary incidental benefits accruing to the licensee; but > rather it was used as a two-edged implement to cut equally for the benefit > of both the licensor and licensee. Comfy complained to Sure-Fit when one of > the latter's customers failed to maintain the retail price and Sure-Fit sent > out a salesman to adjust the matter; Sure-Fit in like manner and with > apparent equal right watched Comfy's customers. It complained about Gimbels, > Strawbridge and Clothier, and Goldblatt's.
" Bosley (1983), page 5. When the second volume of the Theorems appeared in 1622, La Ceppède dedicated it to King Louis XIII, in celebration of both the King's recent coming of age and his military victory against an uprising of the Huguenots of Languedoc, which had been led by Henri, Duke of Rohan. Bosley (1983), page 5. Accord to Christopher Blum, "The Theorems is not only poetry, it is a splendid work of erudition, as each sonnet is provided with a commentary linking it to Scriptural and Patristic sources and, especially, to the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas. The work bears the mark of the Renaissance: the sonnet, that choice mode of expressing romantic love, is here purged and elevated and put in the service of the epic tale of God’s love for man. As La Ceppède put it in his introduction—which can be read in Keith Bosley’s admirable translation of seventy of the sonnets—the harlot Lady Poetry had been unstitched of 'her worldly habits' and shorn of her 'idolatrous, lying and lascivious hair' by the 'two-edged razor of profound meditation on the Passion and death of our Saviour.
Mewar Coat of Arms Branches of the Sisodia Clan Coat of Arms of Vijayanagaram The house of Pusapati claims lineage from the Sisodias of Mewar. According to Edward B. Eastwick, The Maharajah of Vijayanagaram traces his ancestry from the Sisodia branch of the Guhilot tribes and is of the Vasistha Gotra. A brother of the Maharana migrated to Oudh, and in 529 A.D. his descendant, Madhava Varma, marched with four clans into the Deccan, and conquered the country from Ramanad to Katak. His capital was Bezawada, afterwards transferred to Vijayanagar. His descendants reigned over this kingdom for 921 years. In 1512 they were subjected by Sultan Kuli of the Golkonda dynasty. Under the 5th King of that line an ancestor of the present ruler of Vijayanagaram was made Subahdar of the North Sarkars. The Emperor Aurangzeb confirmed the Subahdar in his office and gave him a two-edged sword(zulfikar), which is still used in the coat-of-arms of the family. In 1817 the father of the present ruler made over his estate to Government to clear off his debts of 200,000 rupees. In 1827 he again made over his estate and died at Banaras, leaving a debt of 1,100,000.
