Yes, Milan's La Scala may have more seats, and La Fenice in la Venezia is more venerable by a century, but Palermo's Teatro Massimo is easily the biggest in Italy, a sprawling, 83,000-square-foot, neo-romantic edifice that dominates the Sicilian capital's antique skyline.

It was an era in which televangelism had risen to become a national phenomenon, and I was close friends with a guy from a Christian family that was obsessed with 80s TV preachers Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart and, of course, the more venerable Billy Graham.

Said the even more venerable New York Times reviewer: I'm not as bothered by the film's lack of resolution as I am about my suspicion that I really don't care ... It's a measure of my mixed feelings about The Empire Strikes Back that I'm not at all sure that I understand the plot.

In just five editions, Frieze has made itself a requisite destination on the global art circuit, a magnet for scores of the world's richest and sizable numbers of the rest of us (Frieze organizers recorded 5003,000 visitors in 2015.) Yet it remains, by some accounts, a stepchild of more venerable fairs like the 46-year-old Art Basel in Switzerland.

And it has sent the four-year-old space, Castle Fitzjohns Gallery, into the same cross hairs of controversy recently trained on more venerable institutions: This fall, the Guggenheim pulled exhibits involving live animals, including lizards and insects, from an installation called "Theater of the World" by the Chinese conceptual artist Huang Yong Ping, where the penned animals vied for survival.

What Mr. Michele has devised for the Gucci Garden is a form of wildly and intensely personal bazaar, a grown-up toy store stocked with his favorite periodicals; with books assembled in collaboration with Antica Libreria Cascianelli, one of Rome's more venerable antiquarian booksellers (one standout is Charles Addams's Addams family album, "Dear Dead Days"); with nearly 500 articles of clothing — shoes, bags, coats, skirts, bomber jackets, many embroidered with the designer's trademark naturalistic motifs — not available at any other Gucci location; with goods created in collaboration with artists like Jayde Fish, Trevor Andrew (on Instagram as #guccighost) and Coco Capitán; with stationery, postcards, canvas bags, maps, custom-printed boxes; and with a restaurant operated by the chef Massimo Bottura, whose Osteria Francescana in Modena is one of just nine restaurants in the country to have attained three Michelin stars.

Many of the battles of the Anglo-Spanish war were fought in the Caribbean, not by regular English troops but rather by privateers whom Queen Elizabeth had licensed to carry out attacks on Spanish vessels and ports. These were former pirates who now held a more venerable status as privateers. During those years, over seventy-five documented English privateering expeditions targeted Spanish possessions and vessels. Drake terrorized Spanish vessels and ports.

Shrader-Frechette, K. S. (1996). “Individualism, Holism, and Environmental Ethics.” Ethics and the Environment 1: 55-69. In response, Callicott offered two second-order principles as a framework to adjudicate between conflicting first-order duties: 1) “obligations generated by membership in more venerable and intimate communities take precedence over those generated in more recently emerged and impersonal communities”; 2) “stronger interests take precedence over duties generated by weaker interests.”(Callicott, 1999, p. 73) Because our various human community memberships are both more venerable and intimate and because human interests in enjoying rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are very strong, Callicott argues that our traditional obligations to individual fellow human beings trump our obligations to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community — at least, he believes, when it comes to the prospect of culling members of the overpopulous Homo sapiens species. Additionally, Callicott has been criticized for espousing an overbearing and impolitic monism in environmental ethics.

A Romanesque-style parish at the site dates to medieval times, dedicated to St Agatha. The church is documented by 1618, when it is described by the Bishop of Novara in the pastoral visit as badly done, dark, humid and low to ground. The locals are thinking of erecting one new, in a more decent and more venerable form. About sixty years later, such project was approved by the Curia of Novara.

Pope Pius XII enc, Mediator Dei, 32 It has divine and human elements. Its human elements result from the teachings of the Church, Church laws, pious usages by the faithful and the development of art and music. Pius warns strongly against a sense of "liturgical archaeologism", the belief that the most ancient practices are more venerable. He recognizes that liturgy is organic, and to return to the most ancient practices would ignore centuries of liturgical organic development.

Chodaganga was then deposed by the 'powerful general' Kitti, who, rather than seizing the throne for himself, had Lilavati consecrated sovereign queen. Lilavati's first reign is described as "three years without mishap" in the Culavamsa. As the first queen of Parakramabahu she would have wielded a kind of legitimacy which other claimants of the throne lacked; furthermore her ancestry was considerably more venerable than that of Kitti or any of Nissanka Malla's house. The respect afforded her could explain how she survived her first deposition, by Sahassamalla, a prince of the Okkaka people, on 23 August 1200.

It has been popularised by the video game Doom 3, and a particular variation of the technique used in this game has become known as Carmack's Reverse. Shadow volumes have become a popular tool for real-time shadowing, alongside the more venerable shadow mapping. The main advantage of shadow volumes is that they are accurate to the pixel (though many implementations have a minor self-shadowing problem along the silhouette edge, see construction below), whereas the accuracy of a shadow map depends on the texture memory allotted to it as well as the angle at which the shadows are cast (at some angles, the accuracy of a shadow map unavoidably suffers). However, the shadow volume technique requires the creation of shadow geometry, which can be CPU intensive (depending on the implementation).

Chris Abrahams produced and arranged the music for the Australian film "The Tender Hook" which was released in 2008. In 2008, Chris Abrahams' work on the film's soundtrack was nominated for the "Best Original Music Score" AFI Award. Some of Abrahams music is experimental in nature—The Necks are an improvisational trio, and Abraham's performance at the Room40 Tenth Anniversary in London was labelled "ambient", "free-jazz" and "industrial noise" by (UK) Financial Times reviewer, Mike Hobart. Chris Reid from RealTime Arts Magazine wrote of his Germ Studies collaboration with Clare Cooper, an organiser of the NOWnow Festival who played the Chinese zither on the album, that "it represents an extensive investigation into the endless range of sounds that can be created by combining the venerable DX7 synthesiser and the even more venerable Chinese zither, the guzheng [...] a deep exploration of musical language".

In the 2010s, some far right or white supremacist groups have co-opted the red ensign, displaying it either alongside or instead of the Maple Leaf, erroneously as a symbol of a monoculturally white Canada. These include the Aryan Guard, the founder of the Canadian Nazi Party, white nationalist leader Paul Fromm, and the five members of the Proud Boys who disrupted an indigenous protest on Canada Day in July 2017. The flag's appropriation by white supremacists has produced an outcry from several groups, including the Royal Canadian Legion, the Canadian Centre for the Great War, and the editor of the history journal The Dorchester Review, who have expressed the view that "trivializing, or treating as a kind of talisman of defiance, a flag that has a much more venerable and mainstream role" is not right and "flies in the face of what the Red Ensign means".

Basse-Sauvenière, consulted the physicians. That one came in who was more venerable than the others by reason of his age and white hairs, was evidently expert in his art, and was commonly called Magister Iohannes ad Barbam. That a chance remark of the latter caused the renewal of their old Cairo acquaintance, and that Ad Barbam, after showing his medical skill on Mandeville, urgently begged him to write his travels; "and so at length, by his advice and help, monitu et adiutorio, was composed this treatise, of which I had certainly proposed to write nothing until at least I had reached my own parts in England". He goes on to speak of himself as being now lodged in Liège, "which is only two days distant from the sea of England"; and it is stated in the colophon (and in the manuscripts) that the book was first published in French by Mandeville, its author, in 1355, at Liège, and soon after in the same city translated into "said" Latin form.
