Remington Model 1875
Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army (a.k.a. Improved Army or Frontier Army) was a revolver by E. Remington & Sons.
It was based upon the successful Remington Model 1858 with both revolvers having the same size, appearance, and the removable cylinder.
The new 1875 Remington differed mainly from the older 1858 percussion model by having a bored through cylinder chambered for metallic cartridges. Thus, in 1875, Remington entered the cartridge revolver market with this big-frame, army style revolver, intended to compete with the Colt Peacemaker.
Ordinary citizens and Old West lawmen alike recognized the sturdy quality of the new Remington revolvers.
This design was followed by the Model 1888 and the Model 1890. |

Uffington White Horse
The Uffington White Horse is a highly stylised prehistoric hill figure, 110 m long, formed from deep trenches filled with crushed white chalk.
The figure is situated on the upper slopes of White Horse Hill in the English civil parish of Uffington (in the ceremonial county of Oxfordshire, historic county of Berkshire), some 8 km south of the town of Faringdon and a similar distance west of the town of Wantage; or 2.5 km south of Uffington.
The hill forms a part of the scarp of the Berkshire Downs and overlooks the Vale of White Horse to the north.
The best views of the figure are obtained from the air, or from directly across the Vale, particularly around the villages of Great Coxwell, Longcot and Fernham.
The site is owned and managed by the National Trust and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. "
The Guardian" stated in 2003 that "for more than 3,000 years, the Uffington White Horse has been jealously guarded as a masterpiece of minimalist art."
It has also inspired the creation of other white horse hill figures. |
Devizes White Horse
The Devizes White Horse, officially known as the Devizes Millennium White Horse, is a hill figure of a horse located on Bank Field, an escarpment at Roundway Hill, on the outskirts of the town of Devizes above the hamlet of Roundway, Wiltshire, England; it is about ½ mile north of Roundway.
It was cut in 1999 to celebrate the forthcoming third millennium, and is based on a design of another white horse hill figure, which was also known as the Devizes White Horse, or sometimes The Snobs Horse, which was very close to the present horse as it was also on Roundway Hill beneath the Oliver's Castle hill fort.
Traces of the Snobs Horse can still be seen under the right conditions. |

Supposedly cut by local parish clerk Henry Eatwell in 1838 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria, the horse is 90' square feet and is said to be best viewed from B4041 road.
The horse is regularly scoured and maintained. |

It is based on another white horse hill figure in Wiltshire, the Cherhill White Horse, and is the second-biggest of nine white horses in Wiltshire. |
Old White Horse Cellar
The Old White Horse Cellar also known as Hatchetts White Horse Cellar at No. 155 Piccadilly, was one of the best known coaching inns in England during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The first mention of the White Horse Cellar is in 1720.
It was originally located on the corner of Arlington Street, where the Ritz Hotel is now located.
The first landlord, a man named Williams, named it in honor of the newly established House of Hanover, whose heraldic emblem featured a white horse.
The White Horse rose to prominence under Abraham Hatchett who later moved it to the opposite side of the road on the corner of Albemarle Street, where it was known as "Hatchett’s Hotel and White Horse Cellar".
The precise date of the move is not known, but was precipitated by the construction of the Bath Hotel, which was located on the corner of Piccadilly and Arlington as early as 1798.
It was torn down in 1884 to make room for the Albemarle. |
Twelve Men
The Council of Twelve Men was a group of 12 men, chosen on 29 August 1641 by the residents of New Netherland to advise the Director of New Netherland, Willem Kieft, on relations with the Native Americans due to the murder of Claes Swits.

Aramaic New Testament
The Aramaic New Testament of the Bible exists in two forms: (1) the classical Aramaic, or Syriac, New Testament, part of the Peshitta Bible, or "Peshitta" (2) the "Assyrian Modern" New Testament and Psalms, published by the Bible Society in Lebanon (1997) and newly translated from Koine Greek.
The official Assyrian Church of the East (known by some as the Nestorian Church) does not recognise the new "Assyrian Modern" edition, and traditionally considers the New Testament of the Peshitta to be the original New Testament, and Aramaic to be its original language.
This view was popularised in the West by the Assyrian Church of the East scholar George Lamsa, but is not supported by the majority of scholars, either of the Peshitta or the Greek New Testament. |
Epaphras
Epaphras (Greek: Ἐπαφράς ) was a colleague of the Apostle Paul mentioned twice in the New Testament epistle of Colossians and once in the New Testament letter to Philemon.
In the first instance he is described as a "fellow servant" () of Paul in his ministry.
At the end of the same letter to the Church in Colossae, it is noted that Epaphras is "one of them" and that he sends "greetings" () from his current location to the recipients of the letter.
There is a similar refrain in Paul's letter to Philemon, where a person of the same name passes on his "greetings" to Philemon ().
Douglas Moo, in his commentary about Colossians, writes this about Epaphras: "Little is known about him, though we can infer that he was a native of Colossae and that he was perhaps converted by Paul himself during the apostle's ministry in Ephesus.
The mention of a co-worker at this point in a Pauline epistle is unusual, and the strength of Paul's endorsement of him is also striking (note also 4:12-13)." |
Greek New Testament
The Greek New Testament is the original form of the books that make up the New Testament as they appeared in Koine Greek, the common dialect from 300 BC to 300 AD.
There are several Greek-language versions of the New Testament that approximate the original form of the New Testament books in Greek.
The first published edition of the Greek New Testament was produced by Erasmus in 1516.
There are multiple Greek copies of the New Testament Byzantine text-types, used by the Greek Orthodox Church.
There exist multiple copies of the New Testament "Textus Receptus", the basis of the King James Bible of the New Testament. |

Five books were translated into Syriac later for the Harklean New Testament. |
New Testament household code
The New Testament Household Codes ("Haustafeln"), also known as New Testament Domestic Codes, consist of instructions in the New Testament writings of the apostles Paul and Peter to pairs of Christian people in different domestic and civil structures of society.
The main foci of the Household Codes are upon husband/wife, parent/child, and master/slave relationships.
The Codes apparently were developed to urge the new first century Christians to comply with the non-negotiable requirements of Roman Patria Potestas law, and to meet the needs for order within the fledgling churches.
The two main passages that explain these relationships and duties are Ephesians and Colossians .
An underlying Household Code is also reflected in 1 Timothy 2:1ff., 8ff.; 3:1ff., 8ff.; 5:17ff.; 6:1f.; and .
Historically, proof texts from the New Testament Household Codes—from the first century to the present day—have been used to subordinate married Christian women to their husbands, and to disqualify women from primary ministry positions in Christian churches.
Others more positively interpret the "Haustafeln" passages to be "Peter and Paul’s radical Christian 'remix' that often passes unnoticed by modern readers". |
New Testament
The New Testament (, "Hē Kainḕ Diathḗkē"; Latin: "Novum Testamentum" ) is the second part of the Christian biblical canon, the first part being the Old Testament, based on the Hebrew Bible.
The New Testament discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity.
Christians regard both the Old and New Testaments together as sacred scripture.
The New Testament (in whole or in part) has frequently accompanied the spread of Christianity around the world.
It reflects and serves as a source for Christian theology and morality.
Both extended readings and phrases directly from the New Testament are also incorporated (along with readings from the Old Testament) into the various Christian liturgies.
The New Testament has influenced religious, philosophical, and political movements in Christendom and left an indelible mark on literature, art, and music. |
Epistle to the Colossians
The Epistle of Paul to the Colossians, usually referred to simply as Colossians, is the twelfth book of the New Testament.
