AbstractIn the course of physical inquiries we meet with many problems having the appearance of great simplicity, and yet presenting to the analyst difficulties of the highest order. The law of the motion of a heavy body along the circumference of a circle is one of these.One particular case of this motion, viz., the case of the swinging of a clock-pendulum, is of paramount importance, and has been investigated with very great care. In this case our attention is directed principally to the computation of the time of an entire oscillation, since it is this which determines the beating of the clock.

Family reform and judicial discretion of the judge to resolve family disputes are one of the most important ways to protect the continuity and cohesion of the family، Islam has given the family a central place in society and has given it great care in terms of its foundation on the requirements of religion as well as in terms of its continuity on a solid foundation of intimacy and compassion. Islam as a realistic religion didn't rule out exposing this family for a series of conflicts that threaten its stability. Therefore، Islam urged to reform between the spouses whenever there is a disagreement between them. Islam gave the judge a judicial discretion in resolving family disputes. Jordanian Personal Status Law didn't deviate from what is prescribed in Islamic jurisprudence، where the judge was given a judicial discretion in resolving family disputes، A judicial discretion is the freedom that left by the law to a judge either expressly or implicitly، This is in order to choose the most appropriate and the closest solution among other solutions. We have concluded that one of the most important factors for the success of the judge in reducing family disputes is providing appropriate conditions for effort and reform attempts.

The tide observations which I recorded and discussed in my eleventh memoir on that subject, were laid before the Royal Society, because, though the different series of observations were both brief and imperfect, the features of the tide phenomena as there exhibited were novel; and it appeared desirable to put them on record with a view to future comparison with other places. I have now to notice other observations which I have received from another region, and which display similar features in a still more remarkable manner. These, with the results of a few other sets of observations, which may, I trust, hereafter be of use, I beg to lay before the Society, as an Appendix to my eleventh memoir on the subject of the Tides. The principal tide observations which I now bring forward are those for which I am indebted to the Russian Admiral Lὒtke. These observations were made in 1827 and 1828 by the officers and men of the Seniavine corvette, commanded by the (then) Captain Lütke. From the account given me of the mode of observing, it appears that they were made with proper apparatus and with great care and perseverance, as is indeed sufficiently shown by the observations themselves. At one place (Petro-paulofsk in Kamtchatka) the height of the surface was carefully observed every ten minutes day and night; and when near its maximum, every two minutes. And it is proper to remark, that this great care and labour, which would have been superfluous at most places, was necessary in this instance. If the observations had not been thus continued, they would not have enabled us to detect the very curious laws of the phenomena which I have now to describe.

For whom, and with what special purpose, was St. Matthew's Gospel written? The thesis of this paper is, that it was written after the Fall of Jerusalem by a Jewish Christian for the Great Church, which by then was predominantly Gentile, with the special purpose of bringing to Gentile Christians the moral and spiritual teaching which Jerusalem had preserved and which they sorely needed.One problem of Matthew is this: that the Evangelist, while reproducing with great care the testimony of the sources which he accepts as authoritative (namely, Mark, Q,, and M which contained the tradition of the Church of Jerusalem over which St. James had presided), does not attempt to reconcile them. As we shall see, it is hard to think that if our Lord said that ‘till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished’ (5.18), He could also have said ‘It is not that which enters the mouth that makes a man unclean, but that which comes out of his mouth is what makes him unclean’ (15.11, cf. Mark 7.15), since this saying repeals the whole of Leviticus 11, on unclean foods. Again, if He commanded His disciples to do and observe all that was laid down by the Scribes who sat on Moses' seat (23.1–3), how could He have so trenchantly criticised the Tradition of the elders as leading in actual cases to breach of the Fifth Commandment (15.1–9, cf. Mark 7.5–13)?


As an appendix to his former memoir on tide observations, the author gives in the present paper the results of observations made at Petropaulofsk, in the bay of Avatcha, in Kamtchatka, lat. 53° 1' N., long. 158° 44' E., by the officers and men of the Seuivine, commanded by the present Russian Admiral Lütke; and which were conducted with great care and perseverance. The height of the surface was noted every ten minutes, both day and night, and when near its maximum every two minutes. It appears from these observations that the high water is affected in its time by a very large diurnal inequality, reaching the enormous amount of above four hours; while its height is only slightly affected by an inequality of that kind; the greatest alternate inequalities of height were something more than a foot. In the low waters, there appears a much smaller inequality in the times, seldom amounting to more than one hour; but with regard to height, the diurnal inequality is much larger than that for high water, reaching to three, or even four feet; and this in a tide of which the whole rise, from the lowest to the highest, rarely exceeds five feet. The theory of these phenomena is then discussed.

In the twenty-fourth volume of the Society's Transactions, a very convenient formula is given for computing the time of oscillation in a circular arc; and the investigation of that formula is conducted by an appeal to the actual phenomena. It is defective in so far that it contemplates chiefly the time of oscillation over the whole arc, and does not enable us conveniently to compute the time in which a part of that arc is described.The object of the present note is to supply that defect, and to present the whole subject in a new aspect remarkable alike for its generality and for its simplicity.

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
