To Johann Reuchlin, Luther owed the Hebrew grammar for his Bible
translation. A man of lowly birth, Reuchlin's talent for singing brought
him to the attention of the Margrave of Baden who made him a companion
of his son. In love with learning, the singer seized every opportunity
his new position afforded to educate himself. Languages were his forte.
He wrote the first Latin dictionary to be published in Germany and a
Greek grammar. Hebrew was his dearest love. He ferreted out the rules of
Israel's ancient language by study of Hebrew texts and converse with
every rabbi who appeared within his range. His authority became widely
recognized.
Paschal the Primicerius, a nephew of Pope Adrian I was a sore loser.
He wanted to be pope, but in 795, Leo was installed instead. With his
cronies, Paschal plotted a cruel revenge. 
And we were baptized and all anxiety for our past life vanished
away." With these joyous words Augustine recorded his entrance into
the church 
To be or not to be -- that is the question."
Soldiers “already carry rifles. Why not use something that every soldier already carries,” said James E. Burke, an electronics engineer with the U.S. Army’s Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, or ARDEC. Burke spoke with Defense One at a National Defense Industry Association event in Baltimore on Tuesday.
See the slide from Burke’s presentation below.
The Pulser takes the explosive energy released when the gun fires and converts it into pulses of electrical energy. This is done via the piezoelectric effect, which derives an electric charge when pressure is exerted on crystalline materials such as quartz, changing the balance of positive and negative ions.
The Pulser isn’t the first electricity gun ever invented. One of the more interesting prototypes that have emerged over the last several years came from, Seattle-based hacker Rob Flickenger, who cast a Nerf gun in aluminum and rigged it to shoot 20,000 volts of electricity a short distance.
The first known missionary to the Prussians was Bishop Adalbert of
Prague. His work in Prussia followed years of fruitless labor in his
native Bohemia. Paradoxically, it was only by leaving his own people
that he won them.
Many scholars believe that Christ died and rose from the dead again in
AD 30 (see our April 7 story). Even more prefer a date in AD 33,
although champions of several other dates can also be found. If the
events recorded in the gospels took place in AD 33, then 
Dwight L. Moody didn't attend school beyond the fifth grade; he
couldn't spell, and his grammar was awful. His manners were often brash
and crude, and he never became an ordained minister. Once, before his
conversion, he so outraged an Italian shoe salesmen with a prank, that
the man chased him with a sharp knife, clearly intending to kill him.
Yet, Dwight L. Moody was used by God to lead thousands of people to
Christ. Moody's life of Christian service began with his conversion
William Bradford attended two schools: the school of hard knocks, and
the school of Christ. He lost his father at sixteen months old. Shortly
after that, he was sent to live first with a grandfather and then with
other relatives. He became a devout student of the Bible when just
twelve, reading it through. When he was seventeen, he joined a group
that wanted to pull out of the Church of England.
When St. Anselm died

Two of the darkest blots on Christian history are the witch hunts of
Medieval Europe and the Inquisition--and the former employed the
apparatus of the latter. No one knows for sure how many people suffered
at the hands of the Inquisition. Thousands did. To most churchmen and
governments it seemed self-evident that orthodoxy must be preserved,
whatever the price.
Since your majesty and your lordships desire a simple reply, I will
answer without horns and without teeth. Unless I am convicted by
scripture and plain reason--I do not accept the authority of popes and
councils for they have contradicted each other--my conscience is
captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything,
for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I
cannot do otherwise, God help me. Amen."
