Not exactly. Arius and his followers called themselves Christians and were close to becoming the dominant force in the Christian Church during the 4th century, yet held that Jesus was the greatest of the creations. Unitarians today call themselves Christians and reject the doctrine of the Trinity.
A Crhistian, in the historical derivation of the term, was originally simply a follower of Christ.
You seem to be confusing the pattern for Christian prayer outlined by Jesus, and repeated parrot-fashion by some Christians as the "Lord's Prayer", with the Apostles' Creed, which was indeed formed to firm up what was and what was not orthodox faith. Other creeds also came into being in the early centuries of the christian era, which were also designed to exclude certain non-orthodox beliefs.
Christian the LDS may label itself, but its members would probably not subscribe to, for example, the Athanasian Creed with its Trinitarian statements - but then nor would Tim Berners-Lee.
It's partly the desire to turn the clock back to the glory days of the Empire, when Johnny Foreigner knew his place and Imperial measures were the best.
Is it part of UKIP policy to abolish metric measures in Britain once they have taken us out of Europe? If not, I bet it soon will be.
Not exactly. The police force's overall budget will not be increased, so the taxpayer won't fork out any more, and the money will have to be found from elsewhere, such as the overtime budget for beat officers. It will thus hurt the force a little, and perhaps hurt the public because of the decreased level of service provided.
How can we ensure that the people responsible are the ones who actually carry the can in cases like this?
the embassy was not stormed. I remember well the standoff, which ended when diplomatic relations were broken off and the embassy staff were allowed to leave unmolested. There was popular uproar because one of them was the murderer of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, who could not be detained because he still had diplomatic immunity.
Happily, he no longer has that immunity, and the new Libyan government is cooperating with the investigation into the murder, albeit 28 years too late.
Not a musician but married to a composer and pianist.
Old scores are not precise in the way that modern ones are. A lot depends on little things that were never written down, particularly if the composer performed the work himself; ornaments (trills and the like) would be put in at the performer's discretion, and in the 18th century at any rate, performers were expected to supply a good deal of ornamentation themselves. There is a definite trend over the years of specifying more and more exactly how the composer wants the music to be played.
Another aspect with something like the Goldbergs is that many players will now play it on the piano, for which Bach wrote nothing. The mechanics of the harpsichord or clavichord are very different, so that the modern score editor has the option, if not the obligation, to insert dynamics or pedalling that are only appropriate to the modern instrument.
And, to be fair to Lewis, he said that it would mostly interest his co-religionists. His view was that other worlds were really good for spiritual adventures (hence the Narnia series, scarcely SF but certainly spiritual), and pointed to David Lindsay's 'Voyage to Arcturus' as the archetype of this kind of story.
'Proper' SF (which I dare not attempt to define, but feel free to have a go) will always be too 'niche' for the general public to appreciate in this way. Perhaps there should be a Best Picture category at the Hugos instead.
It's even worse in December, when some well-meaning but not very competent choir starts singing carols. there's only so much you can put up with for 'charidee'.
Short summaries seem to work pretty well as newspaper headlines; they just need a little thought in ensuring they capture the essence of the subject and catch the right eyes
The other dimension to motor insurance, at least in the UK, is that it is a legal requirement. I can see that this idea might help under-21 drivers, who tend to get stung by very high premiums simply because that age group is statistically a bad risk. If you can demonstrate that you are a careful driver (at least when the satnav is switched on) you might be able to get a better deal.
Totally agree. I don't understand what the hurry in the US is - especially in Presidential elections where the winner doesn't take office for another 2 months. Surely a few hours' delay is worth the assurance of integrity?
I believe in Ireland they have the Single Transferable Vote, a system where the voter marks candidates in order of preference. So a cross is replaced by 1, 2, 3 etc. This means that a ballot paper is potentially revisited many times, as candidates are eliminated and lower preferences are counted. Such a system ought to be better with electronic voting, except for the security problems.

But Google UK has had a hard time recently in the press and public opinion (along with Amazon and *$$) for paying little or no tax

A fellow-pupil of mine at school had an easy answer:
"A newton is the force of an apple hitting someone on the head".
I don't think he passed his physics exam

I wouldn't want you driving me if you kept on fishing a phone out of your pocket to tell you the time.

Quite right, so I am. My bad. It's been a tough day
You do know that the D in LCD stands for 'Diode' not 'Display', don't you?
Reminds me of Isaac Asimov's first published novel, 'Pebble in the Sky', which featured compulsory and universal euthanasia at age 60
