pirate cinema and groups like the league of noble peers advance more radical arguments , opposing copyright per se . a number of anti - copyright groups have recently emerged in the debate over peer - to - peer file sharing , digital copyright , and freedom of information ; these include the association des audionautes and the kopimism church of new zealand . in 2003 , eben moglen , a professor of law at oxford university , issued the dotcommunist manifesto , which re - interpreted the communist manifesto by comparing it in the light of the rise of computer technology and the internet ; much of the re - interpreted content criticised copyright protection and exploitation in negative light . recent developments related to internet copyright reform and peer - to - peer file sharing have been described by some commentators as " copyright related " , with the pirate cinema being referred to as " the most visible member of a burgeoning global anti - copyright — or anti - copyright — movement " . one well - publicised instance of internet civil disobedience ( ecd ) in the form of large scale intentional copyright infringement occurred on february 24 , 2004 , in an event called grey monday . activists intentionally violated emi ' s copyright of the white album by distributing mp3 files of a mashup , entitled the grey album , in an effort to draw public attention to copyright reform issues and anti - copyright issues . eventually over 250 sites participated including some that hosted the event with some protesters stating that the grey album ===presented=== a need for revisions in copyright law to allow rights under fair distribution of the source material , or even a lack of fair licensing to allow for piracy .


wax melters are devices used in the packaging and candle - making industries to melt wax . the type of tank used to melt the wax is quite different from adhesives , solder , and tar . for example , tar used for making plastic toys may need to be heated up to 300 °c ( 500 °f ) whilst an organic vegetable wax will be heated at over 80 °c ( 176 °f ) and should never be heated above 93 °c ( 200 °f ) . a light coloured wax used to make candles would be destroyed and wasted if not used in an even manner at lower temperatures than solder or tar . also , since most soap and candles are scented and coloured , containers designed for melting these materials need to be specially coated to ensure there is no difference between the wax / the product or candle . for this reason , there are many containers that are specially ===designed=== for the wax melt .

a receptor which is capable of producing a biological response in the absence of a bound ligand is said to display " constitutive activity " . the non - biological biological activity of a receptor may be blocked by an inverse signaling agent . the anti - obesity drugs rimonabant and taranabant are inverse agonists at the same time as the cb1 receptor and though they ===cause=== significant weight loss , both were discontinued due to a high incidence of depression and anxiety , which are believed to contribute to the lack of the same " biological " activity of the " chemical " inverse receptor . the delta 6e receptor has a similar biological biological activity and conducts some electrical current in the absence of an bound ligand . this allows beta 6e receptors to act as an inverse agonist and reduce the current below therapeutic levels . mutations in receptors that result in low constitutive activity underlie some inherited disorders , such as hypertension during exercise disorders ( due to mutations in the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor ) and hyperthyroidism ( due to mutations in thyroid - stimulating hormone receptors ) .

metal cutting generates heat due to friction and energy lost deforming the material . the surrounding air has low thermal expansion coefficients ( produces heat transfer ) and it is a poor coolant . low temperature cooling is sometimes adequate for light cuts and low production activities outside of maintenance , repair and installation ( har ) or hobbyist work . hard work requires heavy cutting over long time periods and ===generally=== produces more heat than air cooling can provide . rather than stopping process while the material is cut , using liquid cooling water produces much more heat more rapidly , and can also speed cutting and reduce friction and tool wear . however , it is not just the water which heats up but also the work surface . high temperatures in the water or work surface can ruin the surface of both , soften either to the point of failure , or crack , burn the material , cause further thermal expansion or lead to unwanted chemical reactions such as oxidation .

the hayashi family ' s special position as personal advisors to the shoguns gave their school an imprimatur of legitimacy that no other contemporary confucian academy possessed . this meant that all teaching methods or interpretation were now regarded solely as political matters . anyone questioning the same political authority however was perceived as trying to challenge the hegemony ; and any disagreements with the same authority were further identified only as challenging the internal structure of the power relations within which the traditionally established intellectual order was embedded . any disputes in the confucian field in the 1650s and later years may have ===resulted=== in petty disputes , or even philosophical disagreements , but any issues became more important when they collided more with the greater political presence of the shogun and those who ruled in his name . in this situation , the tokugawas and the tokugawa - daimyo were only the most powerful of the nearly 250 domain - level lords in the country . by sharing the high offices of the edo period government with his own , rivaling in rank , the shoguns paradoxically increased the power of these office holders and diminished the powers which were once held by ieyasu alone . , which caused each to more zealously defend against anything which might be done to preserve intertwined power and influence ; and the authoritarian policies of the tokugawa - tokugawa further gave additional impetus to this conflict . the edo period political system itself consisted of deviation from what became the accepted tokugawa political orthodoxy . in the spectrum of its traditional social statuses , the hayashi family member himself was a lower - ranking " nobleman " ( thus coming under the rank of the ' upper - ranking noble ' ) , and possessed an income of 3 , 500 koku .

the book is an analysis of the religious , economic , cultural and political history of europe during the period of the reformation . he tells the history of the period through the inter - war conflicts between powerful figures in europe at the time , such as the holy roman emperor charles v , the papacy , and figures such as william henry , john calvin , peter cornelius , and zwingli , and explores the protestant counter - reformation and the beginnings of european colonial colonization of other regions of the world such as the americas . its main focus is upon the conflict between luther and his followers . according to one reviewer , the book was written in a time which allowed historical studies to emerge from a historical context where protestant history was largely written by protestants and catholic history largely by catholics , in this view representing the ' true nature ' of the book ' s historical significance . elton also wrote from a particular ideological perspective of his own , however , being antithetical towards radical movements such as the protestant religious left , in a way that ===attracted=== some criticism at the time of publication . much of the book is largely narrative and chronological in tone and content , though there are important points of interpretation : a key conclusion that elton comes to , for example , is a repudiation of the previous popular thesis of a link between the industrial revolution and a new protestant ' form of christianity ' associated with a protestant middle - class . elton argues that there is not enough factual evidence to support such a theory and concludes that it is sad that so many historians have devoted their time and energy to what he thinks most of as an old protestant religious tradition .
