Bible | Thomas twin, one of the twelve (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18, etc.). He was also called Didymus (John 11:16; 20:24), which is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name. All we know regarding him is recorded in the fourth Gospel (John 11:15, 16; 14:4, 5; 20:24, 25, 26-29). From the circumstance that in the lists of the apostles he is always mentioned along with Matthew, who was the son of Alphaeus (Mark 3:18), and that these two are always followed by James, who was also the son of Alphaeus, it has been supposed that these three, Matthew, Thomas, and James, were brothers.

Clarence Thomas (born June 23, 1948) is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. An African-American, he is considered by many to be very conservative.
History
Clarence Thomas was born in Pin Point, Georgia, a small community outside Savannah. His father abandoned him when he was only a year old and moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, leaving Thomas to be taken care of by his mother, Leola Anderson. When Thomas was six, the family's house burned down (Thomas's younger brother was playing with matches), and they moved to a small apartment in Savannah. The year after, they went to live with their mother's father, Myers Anderson. Anderson had a fuel oil business that also sold ice; Thomas often helped him make deliveries.His grandfather believed in hard work and self-reliance. In 1975, when Thomas read Race and Economics by economist Thomas Sowell, he found an intellectual foundation for this philosophy. The book criticized social reforms by government and instead argued for individual action to overcome circumstances and adversity. Thomas later said the book changed his life.
Devoutly Roman Catholic as a child (he now attends Truro Episcopal Church, in Fairfax, Virginia with his wife), Thomas considered entering the priesthood, and briefly attended Conception Seminary, a Catholic seminary in Georgia, where he encountered some racism. Thomas later attended Holy Cross College, where he co-founded the school's Black Student Union and received an A.B., cum laude.
Thomas struggled with his political identity as he was growing up. He flirted with being a radical in college, but was pulled towards libertarian (he was especially influenced by Ayn Rand) and conservative viewpoints, although he was put off with the race-baiting used by some conservatives.
He received a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1974. He later said that affirmative action programs designed to increase the number of black students at Yale helped him gain admission.
He served as Attorney General of Missouri from 1974-1977, an attorney with Monsanto from 1977-1979, and Legislative Assistant to Senator John Danforth from 1979-1981.
In 1981, he began his rise through the Reagan administration. From 1981-1982, he served as Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights in the US Department of Education, and as Chairman of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from 1982-1990. Thomas cautiously accepted these assignments aware of the public thrust for placing minorities in government positions.
He has married twice, most recently to Virginia Lamp in 1987. He has one child, Jamal Adeen, from his first marriage.
He became a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1990.
Appointment
In 1991, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall decided to resign. President George H. W. Bush nominated Thomas as an Associate Justice to replace him, hoping both to maintain a black justice and to move the court in a more conservative direction.Liberal organizations including the NAACP, the Urban League, and the National Organization for Women opposed his appointment to the Supreme Court for his criticism of Affirmative Action and supposed anti-abortion position. In response to the anti-abortion assertion, Thomas reiterated that he had not developed a stance on the Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion. Others felt he was unqualified, having served only two years as a federal judge. He was the first nominee since Harrold Carswell not to receive an "outstanding" rating from the American Bar Association.
The Democratic-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Thomas about his political opinions and constitutional interpretation over several days. Towards what had been expected to be the end of the confirmation hearings, a former colleague of Thomas's, Oklahoma University Law School Professor Anita Hill, accused him of sexually harassing her when the two had worked together ten years earlier at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Audiences nationwide watched the confirmation on television. When questioned about the allegations, Thomas famously called the hearings "a high-tech lynching for uppity Blacks." In the end, the Committee did not find sufficient evidence to corroborate Anita Hill's claim and Thomas was confirmed by the Senate with a 52-48 vote on October 15, 1991. He took his seat on October 23, 1991.
Decisions (Race politics)
In Hudson v. McMillan (1992), Thomas dissented, arguing that the beating of a Louisiana inmate by three prison guards was not cruel and unusual punishment. Thomas said that the beating, which left Hudson with loosened teeth, facial bruises, and a cracked dental plate, did not cause sufficient harm to meet the constitutional standard. "In my view, a use of force that causes only insignificant harm to a prisoner may be immoral, it may be tortious, it may be criminal ... but it is not 'cruel and unusual punishment,'" he wrote.In Missouri v. Jenkins (1995), the majority overturned a lower court ruling that the city of Kansas City, Missouri had to spend more money on their predominantly black school system to attract white suburban kids. Thomas filed a separate concurrence where he attacked Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 case that outlawed state segregation. "'Racial isolation' itself is not a harm; only state-enforced segregation is," he wrote. "After all, if separation itself is a harm, and if integration therefore is the only way that blacks can receive a proper education, then there must be something inferior about blacks." Many liberal groups, who argued that racial isolation had damaging psychological effects, were upset by the decision.
In Adarand Constructors v. Pena (1995), Thomas spoke out against affirmative action. "There can be no doubt that racial paternalism and its unintended consequences can be as poisonous and pernicious as any other form of discrimination." he wrote.
In United States v. Fordice (1992), he agreed that Mississippi had not done enough to desegregate its colleges and universities. But he added that increased integration could hurt historically black colleges. "It would be ironic, to say the least, if the institutions that sustained blacks during segregation were themselves destroyed in an effort to combat its vestiges," he wrote.
In Chicago v. Morales (1999), he dissented, arguing that police needed more power to curb gangs in crime-ridden neighborhoods. "Gangs fill the lives of many of our poorest and most vulnerable citizens with terror that the Court does not give sufficient consideration, often relegating them to the status of prisoners in their own homes," he wrote.
In Zelman v. Simmons-Harris (2002), he upheld an Ohio school voucher plan. "While the romanticized ideal of universal public education resonates with the cognoscenti who oppose vouchers, poor urban families just want the best education for their children, who will certainly need it to function in our high-tech and advanced society," he wrote. "As Thomas Sowell noted 30 years ago: Most black people have faced too many grim, concrete problems to be romantics."
Decisions (General)
Thomas often concurs with Justice Antonin Scalia. He is considered to be generally deferential to original understanding of the Constitution, but sometimes more eager to adopt new principles.In McIntyre v. Ohio Board of Elections (1995), the only case where Thomas and Scalia directly criticized each other, Thomas concurred that a law banning anonymous campaign literature violated the First Amendment. But while the Court argued this was because anonymity has "played an important role in the progress of mankind", Thomas filed a concurrence arguing that protection of anonymous speech was part of the original understanding of the amendment, noting that several of the Framers had published The Federalist Papers anonymously. Scalia disagreed, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to conclude there was an original understanding and noting the wide popular support for laws against it.
Thomas has used similar reasoning on the equal protection clause; this provides a basis for understanding his support for the Brown v. Board of Education decision, which declared State-enforced segregation unconstitutional.
In general, Thomas has been a proponent of an expansive First Amendment, arguing that anonymous speech, money donated to political campaigns, and commercial speech attempting to sell products all qualified for protection. He has also taken the libertarian point of view that the Commerce Clause should be narrowly interpreted, covering only actual interstate commerce, not things related to it.
Thomas has also defended firm interpretations of the Second Amendment, holding in United States v. Printz that the Brady Act's background checks possibly violated it.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Thomas was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. In the Synoptic gospels and the Book of Acts he is listed with the other apostles, but nothing else is written about him.
However, we are provided with far more information in the Gospel of John where Thomas appears in several scenes, the best known being where doubts the resurrection and demanded to feel Jesus' wounds before being convinced (20:24-9) - from which comes the term Doubting Thomas. In three of these passages (11:16; 20:24; and 21:2), Thomas is identified as "Thomas, also called the Twin (Didymus)". The name Thomas comes from the Aramaic word for twin. Syrian tradition, apparently aware of the awkwardness of the name "Thomas the Twin", states that his full name as Judas Thomas, or Jude Thomas, and as early as the Acts of Thomas (written in east Syria in the early 3rd century) he was identified with Jude, one of the brothers of Jesus Christ (Mark 6:3), and thus said to be the twin brother of Jesus.
Thomas is revered as a saint in both the Roman Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church, and is remembered each year on St Thomas Sunday, which is always one week after Easter.
Thomas and India
Eusebius of Caesarea (Historia Ecclesiastica, III.1) quotes Origen as stating that Thomas was the apostle to the Parthians, but Thomas is beter known as the missionary to India. This tradition has been traced back to the end of the 2nd century, and is believed today by the various denominations of Saint Thomas Christians. The Acts of Thomas describes in chapter 17 Thomas' visit to king Gundaphoros in northern India; however, chapters 2 and 3 depict him as embarking on a sea voyage to India, thus connecting Thomas to southern India.Thomas is also part of the legend of king Abgar of Edessa, for having sent Thaddaeus to preach in Edessa after the Ascension (Eusebius, HE 1.13; III.1; Ephraem also recounts this legend.)
The Portuguese encountered Christians in 1498 while exploring the Malabar coast, who traced their foundations to Thomas. However, they did not accept the legitimacy of local Malabar traditions, and they began to impose Roman Catholic practices upon the Saint Thomas Christians, some of whom conformed to become the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church; others revolted and organized themselves to become the Indian Orthodox Church; and a number have since joined other Christian denominations.
No written records of the apostle's voyage to India exist. Modern scholars doubt that Thomas did reach India; KS Latourette, in A History of the Expansion of Christianity does not allow the possibility of Christians coming to India by any route before the third century AD. He states that Christianity was brought to India in AD 345 by Syrian Christians fleeing persecution, led by the merchant Thomas of Cana.
Writings Attributed to Thomas
In the first few centuries of the Christian era, a number of writings, some espousing a Gnostic doctrine, were circulated that claimed the authority of Thomas. It is unclear why Thomas was seen as an authority for doctrine, although this belief is documented in Gnostic groups as early as the Pistis Sophia which states that Thomas, along with Philip and Matthew, were directed by Jesus Christ after the Resurrection to commit to writing "all of his words"; an early, non-Gnostic tradition may lie behind this statement.The best known of these documents is the Gospel of Thomas, an apocryphal work. The introduction claims it is the work of "Didymos Judas Thomas" - who has been identified with Thomas. This work was discovered in a Coptic translation in 1948 at the Egyptian village of Nag Hammadi, near the site of the monastery of Chenoboskion. Once the Coptic text was published, scholars recognized that an earlier Greek translation had been published from fragments of papyrus in the 1890s. No Christian denomination has recognized this work as part of the Bible.

Thomas Bartholin (20th october 1616 - 4th december 1680). Danish doctor, mathematician and theologist. Thomas Bartholin is most known for his discovery of the lymph-vessel-system in humans. This discovery was made at about the same time as Olof Rudbeck, though Thomas Bartholin publicised the discovery first. The discovery followed after Jean Pecquets discovery of the lymph-vessel-system in animals.Thomas Bartholin was the second of Caspar Bartholin and Anna Bartholins six sons. The Bartholin family was later famous as a family of scientists, as it created 12 people total that since became professors at the University of Copenhagen.
Thomas Bartholin's father Caspar Bartholin published in 1611 the first collected anatomical work. This work was later illustrated by Thomas Bartholin and revised including the latest knowledge. The book became authorative about anatomy.
In 1663 he bought Hagestedgaard (chin-place-farm), which burned down in 1670 including his library, where many manuscripts got lost in the fire. King Christian the 5th declared following Bartholin as his life-doctor with a good pay and gave the farm tax-freedom as a plaster on the wound for the loss. In 1680 his health slipped so much, that the farm was sold and Thomas Bartholin moved back to Copenhagen, where he died. He was buried in Vor Frue Kirke (Our Lady Church).
The Bartholin family has gotten a street called after itself in Copenhagen - Bartholinsgade, 1356 København K. (Bartholin street, 1356 Copenhagen K.) In related connection to this lies Bartholin Institutet (the Bartholin Institute).

Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk (1536-1572) and 1st Earl of Southampton, was entrusted by Queen Elizabeth I of England with public office despite his family history and his support for the Catholic cause. She imprisoned him in 1569 for scheming to marry Mary, Queen of Scots. Following his release, he participated in the Ridolfi plot with King Philip II of Spain to put Mary on the English throne and restore Catholicism in England and was executed for treason. Some doubt the strength of the evidence for his participation in the Ridolfi plot.Norfolk was the son of the poet Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, and grandson of the 3rd Duke of Norfolk.
Norfolk's lands and titles were forfeited, although much of the estate was restored to his sons. The title of Duke of Norfolk was eventually restored 4 generations later, by his great-great-grandson, Thomas Howard.
A very fictionalized version of the 4th Duke of Norfolk appears as a character in the film Elizabeth, played by Christopher Eccleston.

Thomas Seymour (c. 1508 - 1549), Baron Seymour of Sudeley, was the younger brother of Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII of England.
Seymour and Catherine Parr became romantically involved after the death of her second husband, but then King Henry took an interest in Catharine, and Seymour had to step aside. Catherine became Henry's sixth wife. After he died, she married Seymour (brother of Henry's third wife Jane) in unseemly haste. She became pregnant, gave birth to daughter Mary, and died a few days later.
Thomas (the Lord High Admiral) and his brother Edward (the Lord Protector of England) wielded great power in England, through their nephew King Edward VI of England who was still a child when he came to the throne.
Thomas was overly ambitious and wanted to marry his nephew's half-sister Princess Elizabeth, later Elizabeth I of England. His sexual misconduct with her while she lived with the Seymours and forced her stepmother Catherine to send her away for her own protection. Thomas was eventually executed for over-reaching in the power game, he tried to wrest control of young Edward the king from brother Edward and Edward had him executed.
Catherine's daughter Mary should have been a wealthy woman, but her mother had left her fortune to her husband. When Thomas was executed, the crown confiscated everything he had, including Catherine's bequest. The child appears to have died around the age of two, when she disappears from historical record.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | TECHNICALITY, n. In an English court a man named Home was tried for slander in having accused his neighbor of murder. His exact words were: "Sir Thomas Holt hath taken a cleaver and stricken his cook upon the head, so that one side of the head fell upon one shoulder and the other side upon the other shoulder." The defendant was acquitted by instruction of the court, the learned judges holding that the words did not charge murder, for they did not affirm the death of the cook, that being only an inference. |
