Why did you produce dolls of characters from the 19th century instead of from today?

Mission City Press, home of A Life Of Faith -
Living a life of faith every day is not always easy-no matter what era you live in. Even though Elsie, Millie, Violet, and Laylie lived in another time period, the issues they struggled with in their everyday lives (e.g., rejection, temptation, fear, etc.) are very much like the issues girls face today. Though the specific circumstances and lifestyles of 19th century girls may be different than for 21st century girls, because principles of God's Word never change, the solutions are the same.

Q30) Did all the Greeks in Macedonia speak Greek only in the late 19th century?

Frequently Asked Questions on Macedonia
No. As we have mentioned in the previous question, a number of Greeks living in Macedonia as well as Bulgaria, and the lands of Rep. of Skopje (the San Stefano "Macedonia") were Slav-speakers (Slavophones) speaking a Bulgarian idiom. Although this may seem strange, given the circumstances of that time was not. There were also a large number of Turking-speaking Greeks in Asia Minor at that time.

Why Weren't There Anaesthetics Before The 19th Century?

Frequently asked questions of the Old Operating Theatre Muse...
There were. People in the Roman and the Medieval periods had access to substances that could knock patients out. The problem was that before experimental work on gases was done by Priestley, Humphrey and Faraday there was no reliable way of dosing patients safely. In other words anaesthesia was not used because it was unpredictable - often killing the patient or not working reliably. Doctors came to the conclusion that it was safer to do without it.

I get some stupid characters instead of umlauts or special characters. What did I do wrong?

db4free - Databases for free: get a free MySQL database acco...
This is because you or your ISP (if you run e.g. PHP scripts on your ISP's web space) are using an old MySQL API (application programming interface) which is not ready to deal with MySQL's new character set and collation management introduced in MySQL 4.1. If you have a chance to update the corresponding MySQL API (e.g. by installing the latest PHP version, installing the latest JDBC driver if you run Java programs etc.), you can solve this problem yourself by doing an update.

How did you get interested in antique dolls?

About Debra - Debra's Dolls - Antique and Collectable Dolls
I attended high school at the Friends School in Mullica Hill, NJ during the 1980's. There are many antiques shops located on mile-long Main Street in historic Mullica Hill. Students at Friends with a high grade point average were allowed to go downtown for lunch, and I often squeezed in a visit to an antique shop during my lunch breaks. I often admired antique dolls at one particular shop in Mullica Hill, which has long since closed.

When did you start collecting dolls?

About Debra - Debra's Dolls - Antique and Collectable Dolls
I was about 13 years old when I purchased my first antique doll, a small German bisque child in provincial costume, from a shop in Delaware. I saved my money for a year to buy that doll, & I still own her. I also would attend the NADDA Antique Doll Show in Wilmington, DE every October, and purchase one doll per year at that show. At that time, I was mostly buying German all-bisque dolls.

Did "The Kingdom of God" then come in the first century as well?

Frequently Asked Questions - Preterism.com -- English
Answer: It appears from the scriptures that the chief concern of Jesus was to bring about the Kingdom of God. The two major issues with the Kingdom are of timing and nature, allowing Preterism to offer solid answers to those seeking questions about the Kingdom: It is therefore unreasonable for Christians to expect the Kingdom of God to be anything other than a spiritual reality.

MR. MARSHALL: I can't say that because part of the existence of such a plan requires a framework, if you will, and I would not want to commit to a final date until the March 7th HISB meeting. However, I would also point one other precipitating event that will be extremely helpful, but I believe that this committee can help with. Certain of the use cases that would be involved in this require the policies be known. Currently, there is not a final security regulation. DR. COHN: Thank you.
