pos: adj

examples: § Treatiſe of Human Nature, L. 467. In the P. S. to this letter, a view will be given of the Humian ſyſtem, taken exactly as it appeared to its author at ſix o’clock in the evening.
Burke had planned a confutation of the Berkleian and Humean hypothesis; but the active engagements of politics afterwards prevented the completion of his speculative disquisitions.
I am reading ‘Burnet’s own Times.’ […] He tells his story like an old man past political service, bragging to his sons on winter evenings of the part he took in public transactions, when ‘his old cap was new.’ Full of scandal, which all true history is. […] None of the cursed philosophical Humeian indifference, so cold and unnatural and inhuman!
gloss: An adherent or advocate of Humean doctrines.
pos: noun
examples: [H]e who would educate a young man in the principles of Unitarianism will, in all probability, educate him in the principles of infidelity. The reason is obvious. In order to reduce his religious creed to the level of Unitarianism, he must educate him in that “freedom of inquiry,” which teaches him first to dispute and then to reject all the leading features of Christianity, upon the very same grounds, and on the same principles, on which the Deist rejects the probability of a revelation, and upon which, if pushed to their full extent, the Humian will question even the being and the attributes of God. Disputandi pruritus, animi scabies.
Humians see no necessary uniformity in phenomena because they expect some logical law to which uniformity may be referred.
It is quite true that if the criterion of consistency is not absolute, one’s knowledge of psychology and of everything else is logically bankrupt, but no Humean (and the objector may well be a follower of Hume) ever supposed that his knowledge was logically sound.
We materialists, after Engels, term the Kantians and Humeans, agnostics, because they deny the objective reality of the source of our sensations.
This cannot refer to Hume’s actual essay, Of Suicide, which, apparently, did not appear until 1777, but presumably the author had already expressed his views on the subject (the present writer is not sufficient of a Humeian to say where).
Agreement between these two accounts, however, ends here, since for Humeians the one act is preceded in time by the other, whereas for Leibnizians the two are exact contemporaries.

After mentioning these facts, Shahristâni adds that "whatever befell them was prognosticated by Jaafar as-Sâdik, who said that temporal dominion was not for their family, but that the Imâmate was to be a toy in the hands of the Abbassides."
The government has accused the Houthis of trying to restore the traditional Zaidi-led imamate that largely ruled Yemen until 1962.

pos: noun
examples: we have determined to go by way of Lisbon […] , if so be that Capt. Kidd our gallant or rather gallows commander understands plain sailing and Mercator, and takes us on our voyage all according to the Chart.
The Mercator has been a favorite schoolroom map because it shows almost the whole world simply—in a single continuous panel. It does not seem to distort shapes.
In the Mercator projection, the line of intersection between the cylinder and the sphere is the equator, while in the Traverse Mercator this line is a meridian.
Most digital maps are displayed in the Web Mercator projection but this is slowly changing. Web Mercator became the default standard for web mapping when the major online map services adopted it, like Google and OpenStreetMap.

Scooby-Doo
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Uncertain. Scooby doo appears as a vocable scatted in "The Boppenpoof Song" written in 1954, as the name of a band (The Scooby-Doo All-Stars) in 1956 and the title of a song by the Jerry Lieber Beat Band published by Zephyr Records in 1959 (both of which were signed to Zephyr Records), and lyrics in the song "Denise" by Randy & the Rainbows in 1963. It is likely that such uses were an influence on the creators of the cartoon but they may also have been partially influenced by Frank Sinatra's "doo-be-doo-be-doo" improvisation in "Strangers in the Night" released in 1966 a few years prior to the first episode of Scooby-Doo being shown (in 1969).

The great argument in favor of the inspiration of Genesis is the absolute impossibility of its classification with works of mere human origin. The sublime simplicity and the unfailing accuracy of its narration of the beginnings of creation, and of the early history of man, is such as could have come only: through infinite wisdom. The knowledge displayed in it is such as still to outreach the highest attainments of scientific research. Its inspiration is self-convincing to the most impartial and wisest-hearted reader.
However, like your sister in ancient Greece, you make your “darker-hearted” perennial descents. And like Persephone, and also like her predecessor, the goddess Inanna, who went below of her own volition, your experience has made you larger-hearted and wiser-hearted as well.

santorum
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Topics: lifestyle

Etymology: From the surname of former US Senator Rick Santorum (born 1958). After Santorum made statements comparing homosexuality to bestiality and opining that mutually consenting adults do not have a constitutional right to privacy with respect to sexual acts, US columnist Dan Savage gathered input from his readers and held a contest for definitions to "memorialize the scandal". Savage set up a website which defined the term, and helped to promote it. See Campaign for the neologism "santorum" for further information.
Rick Santorum's surname, in turn, comes from Italian; see Santorum for more.

Among the carnivores researched, the brain of bear seems to be the most highly differentiated as can be confirmed in the comparative anatomical features of the thalamus and hypothalamus (ITÔ, 1952; KOIKEGAMI, 1947), and that of the mustela is regarded as minimally developed, contrary to the opinion of JESERICH (1945).
