Unreferenced date November 2006 The concept of Shatsthala or six Phases States Paths is pivotal to the Lingayat philosophy. Shatsthala is a conflation of Shat and Sthala which means six phases states levels through which a soul advances in its ultimate quest of realisation of the Supreme. The Shatsthala comprises the Bhakta Sthala , Maheshwara Sthala , Prasadi Sthala , Pranalingi Sthala , Sharana Sthala and the Aikya Sthala . The Aikya Sthala is the culmination where the soul leaves the physical body and merges with the Supreme. While the origins of the Shatsthala may be traced to the gama Hinduism Agamas , particularly the Parameshwaratantra , with the evolution of Veerashaivism the evolution of concept of Shatsthala was also unavoidable. While Basava understood Shatsthala as a process with various stages to be attained in succession, the credit of refuting this and redefining Shatsthala goes to Channabasavanna , Basava s nephew. Channabasavanna differed radically from his uncle and held that a soul can reach its salvation in any stage. Category Lingayatism Karnataka stub ... more details

Dwelling on Mount Kriphis, Sybaris terrorized the countryside of Delphi , devouring livestock and people. The people of the region asked the Delphic Oracle oracle how to end the depredations. The oracle answered that a young man needed to be sacrificed to the dragon before the people would have peace. Alkyoneus was selected to be the victim, but the hero Eurybaros, son of the river god Axios , took his place and hurled the dragon from the mountainside, striking it against the rocks where a fountain sprung up.

Despite releasing some conventional shareware and desktop application software applications , Signwave have also received attention and awards from arts organisations such as Transmediale and Ars Electronica for their software art software artworks . Typically their software challenges the traditional notions of functionality and efficiency as key selling points of proprietary software , instead focussing on the role of the author artist as a creative role. When considering the role of the programmer in the production of software, their products can be seen in a new light that of programming as a creative expression, and of proprietary software as an artefact or Work of art artwork . This contentious issue is hotly debated, with people on both the arts as well as the technology sides of the argument denying the right of artist to the programmer . To date, Signwave have released two major software artworks, Autoshop a parody of Adobe Photoshop , and Auto Illustrator a similar but more advanced parody of Adobe Illustrator , both artworks being purchasable online through the distribution of serial number s.

Zoroastrianism Hvare.khshaeta lang ae Hvar .x a ta , lang ae Huuar .x a ta is the Avestan language name of the Zoroastrianism Zoroastrian divinity of the Radiant Sun. Avestan Hvare khshaeta is a compound in which hvar Sun has khshaeta radiant as a stock epithet. Avestan hvar derives from the Indo Iranian languages Indo Iranian root svar to shine, from which Vedic Sanskrit Surya again Sun also derives. In Middle Persian , Hvare khshaeta was contracted to Khwarsh d , continuing in New Persian as Khursh d Khorsh d. cf. a similar contraction of Avestan Yima khshaeta as Jamshid . The short seven verse 6th Yasht is dedicated to Hvare khshaeta, as is also the Avesta Avesta s litany to the Sun. The 11th day of the Zoroastrian calendar is dedicated to and is under the protection of Hvare khshaeta. Although in tradition Hvare khshaeta would eventually be eclipsed by Mithra as the divinity of the Sun this is attributed to late syncretic influences, perhaps to a conflation with Akkadian Shamash , in scripture the Sun is still unambiguously the domain of Hvare khshaeta and remains distinct from the divinity of Covenant.

Disputed date July 2009 Refimprove date July 2007 Sociological naturalism is a theory that states that the Nature natural world and society social world are roughly identical and governed by similar principles. Sociological naturalism, in sociological texts simply referred to as naturalism , can be traced back to the philosophical thinking of Auguste Comte in the 19th century, closely connected to positivism , which advocates use of the scientific method of the natural science s in studying social science s. It should not be identified too closely with Positivism, however, since whilst the latter advocates the use of controlled situations like experiments as sources of scientific information, naturalism insists that social processes should only be studied in their natural setting. A similar form of naturalism was applied to the scientific study of art and literature by Hippolyte Taine see Race, milieu, and moment . Contemporary sociologists do not generally dispute that social phenomena take place within the natural universe and, as such, are subject to natural constraints, such as the laws of physics. Up for debate is the nature of the distinctiveness of social phenomena as a subset of natural phenomena. Broad support exists for the antipositivist claim that crucial qualitative differences mean that one cannot explain social phenomena effectively using investigative tools or even standards of validity derived from other natural sciences. From this point of view, naturalism does not imply scientism . However, a classically positivist conflation of naturalism with scientism has not disappeared this view is still dominant in some old and prestigious schools, such as the sociology departments at the University of Chicago in the United States, and McGill University in Montr al, Canada. More recently, actor network theory has analyzed the social construction of the nature society distinction itself.

Refimprove date July 2007 Occupational crime is crime that is committed through opportunity created in the course of legal occupation. Theft s of company property, vandalism , the misuse of information and many other activities come under the rubric of occupational crime.The concept of occupational crime as one of the principal forms of white collar crime has been quite familiar and widely invoked since the publication of Clinard and Quinney s influential Criminal Behavior Systems A Typology. More recently, however, the term occupational crime has been applied to activities quite removed from the original meaning of white collar crime, and it has been used interchangeably with such terms as occupational deviance and workplace crime. In the interest of greater conceptual clarity within the field of white collar crime the argument is made here for restricting the term occupational crime to illegal and unethical activities committed for individual financial gain or to avoid financial loss in the context of a legitimate occupation. The term occupational deviance is better reserved for deviation from occupational norms e.g. drinking on the job sexual harassment , and the term workplace crime is better reserved for conventional forms of crime committed in the workplace e.g. rape assault . The conceptual conflation of fundamentally dissimilar activities hinders theoretical, empirical, and policy related progress in the field of white collar crime studies.

Mormaer Beth is a name of a Mormaer mentioned in an unreliable charter granted to Scone, Perthshire Scone Priory, later Scone Abbey , by king Alexander I of Scotland . The charter Lawrie XXXVI says, merely, Beth comes i.e. Mormaer Beth . This could be a mistake for Heth , a form often used for the Gaelic name ed , or perhaps MacBethad , or even a real name as Beth , meaning life. Alternatively, the name may have been made up by either the scribe or his overseer. The only reason for associating Beth with Fife is that he appears first in the witness list, an honour often but certainly not always given to the Mormaer of Fife Mormaers of Fife amongst the other Scottish Mormaers. It is more probable that Beth this is the same person as ed, either Mormaer of Moray or Mormaer of Ross , attested in two early charters of David I of Scotland David I . ed disappears from the record ca. 1130. His identification as the ancestor of the MacHeths is uncertain. Conflation with Ethelred of Scotland is spurious, and based on the unlikely idea that Ethelred ever was Mormaer of Fife.
