Calamities

Liquid crystals may be divided into two broad categories, thermotropic and lyotropic, according to the principal means of breaking down the complete order of the soHd state. Thermotropic Hquid crystals result from the melting of mesogenic soHds due to an increase in temperature. Both pure substances and mixtures form thermotropic Hquid crystals. In order for a mixture to be a thermotropic Hquid crystal, the different components must be completely miscible. Table 1 contains a few examples of the many Hquid crystal forming compounds (2). Much more is known about calamitic (rod-Hke) Hquid crystals then discotic (disk-like) Hquid crystals, since the latter were discovered only recendy. Therefore, most of this section deals exclusively with calamities, with brief coverage of discotics at the end. 

As a deeply religious person whose personal life was beset by a series of calamities. Ampere searched in the field of science for certainty. He constructed a philosophy that enabled him to retain a belief in the existence of both God and an objective natural world. Ampere s philosophy contained two levels of knowl-...

All joy and sorrow for the happiness or calamity of others is produced by an act of the imagination, that realises the event, however fictitious, or approximates it, however remote, by placing us, for a time, in the condition of him whose fortune we contemplate so that we feel, while the deception lasts, whatever emotions would be excited by the same good or evil happening to ourselves. 

Both of these problems can be resolved, and should be, on an expeditious basis. This could save mankind from unnecessary future calamities. 

So may we doubt whether, in cheese and timber, worms are generated, or if beetles and wasps in cow dung, or if butterflies, locusts, shell-fish, snails, eels, and such life be procreated of putrefied matter which is to receive the forms of that creature to which it is by formative power disposed. To question this is to question reason, sense and experience. If he doubts this let him go to Egypt and there he will find the fields swarming with mice begot of the mud of Nylus, to the great calamity of the inhabitants.

It is likewise deserving of particular notice, that the fate of individual sovereigns is often bound up and implicated, as it were, with the circumstances of national prosperity or affliction. The condition of him who is most eminent for his station is signally marked out for the illustration of the Divine judgments, while, at the same time, he is rendered instrumental to the reward or condemnation of his subjects, —to the blessings or calamities, to which they are exposed. 

The girl had promised and right faithfully had she kept her word, but at what a cost to herself She was thinking now of her promise and of how she had kept it. She was thinking, too, of her mother s serious illness which had followed that night, an illness from which she had recovered, it is true, but which left her blind for life. What a terrible calamity her mother s blindness had appeared to be at that time, and yet, there came a day, that dreadful day two years ago, when she had thanked God on her knees for the affliction which enabled her to conceal the trouble which had come upon them.
