Deseret (Book Of Mormon)
Deseret (; Deseret: ππ―π π¨ππ―π») is a term derived from the Book of Mormon, a scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and other Latter Day Saint groups. According to the Book of Mormon, "deseret" meant " honeybee" in the language of the Jaredites, a group in the Book of Mormon that were led by God to the Americas after the construction of the Tower of Babel (see ). Latter-day Saint scholar Hugh Nibley (extending the work of Egyptologist Sir Alan Gardiner) suggested an etymology by associating the word "Deseret" with the ancient Egyptian '' deshret'' ( Egyptian: π§ππππ), a term he translated as the " bee crown" of the Lower Kingdom, but which non-LDS scholarly sources translate as the "Red Crown". Proposed State of Deseret Deseret was proposed as a name for the U.S. state of Utah.

The Great Apostasy (book)
''The Great Apostasy Considered in the Light of Scriptural and Secular History'' is a 1909 book by James E. Talmage that summarizes the Great Apostasy from the viewpoint of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Talmage wrote his book with the intention that it be used as a teaching tool within the LDS Church's Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association and the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association. The book is "in many ways quite derivative" of B. H. Roberts's 1893 ''Outlines of Ecclesiastical History''. Both writers borrowed heavily from the writings of Protestant scholars who argued that Roman Catholicism had apostatized from true Christianity. Talmage's book has been described as "the most recognizable and noted work on the topic" of Latter-day Saint views of the Great Apostasy.Eric R. Dursteler"Inheriting the 'Great Apostasy': The Evolution of Latter-day Saint Views on the Middle Ages and the Renaissance"''Early Christians in Disarray: Conte ...

''The House of the Lord: A Study of Holy Sanctuaries, Ancient and Modern'' is a 1912 book by James E.

If the church refused to pay, the photographers threatened to publicly display the photographs. Church president Joseph F. Smith was outraged and refused to deal with the photographers.

Articles Of Faith (Talmage)
''The Articles of Faith: A Series of Lectures on the Principal Doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'' is an 1899 book by James E. Talmage about doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The name of the book is taken from the LDS Church's "Articles of Faith", an 1842 creed written by Joseph Smith. Smith's "Articles of Faith" became part of the LDS Church's scriptural canon in 1880 as part of the Pearl of Great Price. In 1891, when the First Presidency of the LDS Church asked Talmage to produce a work of theology that could be used in church schools, Talmage decided to use Smith's Articles of Faith as an outline of his work. He first delivered the material that he would organize into a book in a series of lectures delivered in 1893 at Latter-day Saints' University in Salt Lake City, Utah, which Talmage was the president of at the time. First published in 1899, Talmage's work is composed of 24 chapters. The first edition wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eliza R
ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program developed from 1964 to 1967 at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum. Created to explore communication between humans and machines, ELIZA simulated conversation by using a pattern matching and substitution methodology that gave users an illusion of understanding on the part of the program, but had no representation that could be considered really understanding what was being said by either party. Whereas the ELIZA program itself was written (originally) in MAD-SLIP, the pattern matching directives that contained most of its language capability were provided in separate "scripts", represented in a lisp-like representation. The most famous script, DOCTOR, simulated a psychotherapist of the Rogerian school (in which the therapist often reflects back the patient's words to the patient), and used rules, dictated in the script, to respond with non-directional questions to user inputs. As such, ELIZA was one of the first chatterbots ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
