Aquinas - Chapel of ease

A chapel of ease (sometimes ‘chapel-of-ease’) is a church building other than the main church (the parish church) of a parish.


Reasons for Chapels of Ease

Often such a chapel of ease is deliberately built as such, being more accessible to some parishioners than the main church. Such a chapel may exist, for example, when a parish covers several dispersed villages, or a central village together with its satellite hamlet or hamlets. In such a case the parish church will be in the main settlement, with one or more chapels of ease in the subordinate village(s) and/or hamlet(s).

Some chapels of ease are buildings which used to be the main parish church until a larger building was constructed for that purpose. For example, the small village of Norton, Hertfordshire contains the mediaeval church of St Nicholas, which served it adequately for centuries; but when the large new town of Letchworth was built, partly within the parish, St Nicholas’s became too small to serve the increased population. This led to the building of a new main church building for the parish, and St Nicholas’s became a chapel of ease.

Chapels of ease are sometimes associated with large manor houses, where they provide a convenient place of worship for the family of the manor, and for the domestic and rural staff of the house and the estate. There are many such chapels in England, for example that at Pedlinge in Kent.

Sometimes an ancient parish church is reduced in status to a chapel of ease due to a shift of population. An example is the churches of St Mary Wiston and All Saints Buncton in West Sussex. For centuries St Mary’s was the parish church (located near to Wiston House and therefore the centre of population), whilst All Saints served the nearby hamlet of Buncton, as a chapel of ease. Today, however, the resident population of Wiston is tiny, whilst Buncton has grown, so that in 2007 the status of the buildings was reversed, with All Saints becoming the parish church, and St Mary’s reduced to a chapel of ease.

When two or more existing parishes are combined into a single parish, one or more of the old church buildings may be kept as a chapel of ease. An example can be seen in Palo Alto, California, where, in 1987, the six parishes of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose in California in the city were combined into a single parish, Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish. As of 2007, St. Thomas Aquinas Church serves as the parish church, with Our Lady of the Rosary Church and St. Albert the Great Church as chapels of ease.

Save may - Precious Blood

Christians believe that Christ’s Precious Blood is the Eucharist under the species of wine.


History

In the Early Church Christ’s Faithful received the Eucharist both as consecrated bread and wine. Saint Maximus explains that in the Old Law the flesh of the sacrificial victim was shared with the people, but the blood of the sacrifice was merely poured out on the altar. Under the New Law, however, Jesus’ blood was the drink shared by all of Christ’s Faithful.

The tradition continued in the Eastern Church to comingle the species of bread and wine, whereas in the Western Church the practice of communion under the species of bread and wine separately was the custom, with only a small fraction of bread placed in the chalice. In the Western Church, the communion at the chalice was made less and less efficient, as the dangers of the spread of disease and danger of spillage were considered enough of a reason to remove the chalice from common communion altogether (or on only special occasions). The Protestant controversy turned this into one of its main issues. As a consequence, the Catholic Church first wanted to eliminate ambiguity, declaring that Christ was present both as body and as blood equally under both species of bread and wine. As time went on, the chalice was made more available to the laity. After the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church gave a full permission for all to receive communion from the chalice at every Mass involving a congregation.


Theology

The Catholic Church teaches that the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus are contained in both consecrated bread and wine. But they remain as distinct Mysteries, mystically united.

The devotion to the Precious Blood that was an especial phenomenon of Flemish piety in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, gave rise to the iconic image of Grace as the “Fountain of Life”, filled with blood, puring from the wounded Lamb of God or the Holy Wounds of Christ. The image, which was the subject of numerous Flemish paintings was in part spurred by the renowned relic of the Precious Blood, which had been noted in Bruges since the twelfth centuryEvelyn Underhill, 1910. “The Fountain of Life: An Iconographical Study” The Burlington Magazine 17.86 (May 1910, pp. 99-101) p.100. and which gave rise, from the late thirteenth century, to the observances, particular to Bruges, of the procession of the Saint Sang from its chapel.The first historian of the Saint Sang was the abbé Carton, Essai sur l’histoire du Saint Sang. Bruges, 1857. (noted Underhill 1910:100 note).

See: Quinquae viae - Via Cassia

The Via Cassia was an important Roman road striking out of the Via Flaminia near the Milvian Bridge in the immediate vicinity of Rome and, passing not far from Veii traversed Etruria. The Via Cassia passed through Baccanae, Sutrium, Vulsinii, Clusium, Arretium, Florentia, Pistoria, and Luca, joining the Via Aurelia at Luna.


Via Amerina

The Via Amerina was a road that broke off from the Via Cassia near Baccanae, and held north through Falerii, Tuder, and Perusia, rejoining the Via Cassia at Clusium. When the incursions of Faroald, the Lombard Duke of Spoleto, cut the Via Flaminia, the lifeline between Rome and Ravenna, the Via Amerina was improved and fortified at intervals, works that represented some of the last road-building carried out in Italy in Late Antiquity. As the new military and strategiic route, the Via Amerina “became the communications core of Imperial Italy and the chief support to the claim that imperial Italy was still extant.”Jan T. Hallenbeck, “Pavia and Rome: The Lombard Monarchy and the Papacy in the Eighth Century” Transactions of the American Philosophical Society New Series 72.4 (1982 pp. 1-186) p 8.

Finishes a - Refinishing

Refinishing in woodworking and decorative arts means fixing or redoing the finishing paint, varnish or other top coating of an object, from resanding to new paint and new varnish. The artisan or restorer is traditionally aiming for an improved or restored and renewed finish. Refinishing can apply to a variety of surfaces and materials such as wood, glass, metal, plastic and paint, although in Britain, when referring to wood or wooden furniture it is commonly known as repolishing.

There are a great variety of both traditional and modern finishes, including the use of faux finishes. One interesting modern development in refinishing is the art of distressing or antiquing, making the finishes of pieces look older. To learn more about modern furniture finishes, study these faux finishing techniques for unfinished furniture with step-by-step instructions.

Five Ways - Honda CB450DX-K

The CB450DX or CB450N was a motorcycle produced by Moto Honda da Amazonia Ltda from 1989 to 1992.

With its 450cc engine derived from the original Superdream CB400N, it proved to be a big seller in Brazil and South America where the earlier Superdreams sold well, too, due to their low running costs and good reliability.
Honda decided to build upon this legacy with the 450DX; however, it didn’t sell in great numbers in the rest of the world due to poor build quality and a few inherited design problems from the Superdream.

Honda replaced it with the all new CB500 in 1994.

The 447cc Superdream derived motor produces a claimed 43BHP, and the bike has a manufacturer specified dry weight of 189KG.

It was quite advanced in some ways, featuring hydraulic disk brakes both at the front and back as well as a 6 valve head. In other ways, however, it was harking back to the late 70’s with its retro styling, semi automatic camchain tensioner and balancer system.

Saved Swans - Charlie Ricketts

Charles “Charlie” Ricketts (born July 3, 1885) was a former Australian rules footballer and coach in the Victorian Football League.

Ricketts was a champion rover for the Richmond Football Club in the Victorian Football Association from 1903 to 1905. Winning the club’s 1904 Best and Fairest award, he represented the VFA twice in 1905 and kicked two goals in the Richmond premiership side.

The next season he crossed to the South Melbourne Football Club in the Victorian Football League. He was considered a highly-skilled player noted for his accuracy, particularly with his passes. By 1908 he had earned a reputation as one of the premier players in the VFL and the following season he led South Melbourne to their first League premiership as captain-coach. Despite this success he was replaced as captain-coach for 1910 by William Thomas, but he regained his position for 1912, leading South Melbourne to a (losing) VFL Grand Final. For 1913 he was again denied the opportunity to captain the side by the disapproving South committee (despite winning the vote).

Ricketts moved back to Richmond, who were now in the VFL, for the 1913 and 1914 seasons before taking the reigns as a non-playing coach for 1915 and 1916. After a hiatus from the VFL due to World War I, Ricketts coached St Kilda for the 1920 season and was playing coach in 1921. Following this, he retired from VFL football.

Alternatively you - Mutzuri

Muuri was a ruler of Moab during the reigns of the Assyrian kings Esarhaddon (681-669 BCE) and Assurbanipal (669-c.627 BCE). His name may mean “the Egyptian.” This name may simply be a given name or nickname; alternatively, it may be an indicator of his ethnicity (e.g., he may have been an Egyptian prince installed by the Assyrians, or his mother may have been an Egyptian wife or concubine of his predecessor on the Moabite throne). Another possibility is that he may have been given the name as a title during some campaign against Egypt (as with Roman names Germanicus, Britannicus, etc.).

He was likely succeeded by Kaasḥalta, though the relationship between the two is unknown.

King Edward - GWR 6000 Class 6023 King Edward II

Great Western Railway (GWR) 6000 Class 6023 King Edward II is a preserved steam locomotive.

The locomotive was built at GWR’s Swindon works in the June 1930. For most of its working life it was allocated to Newton Abbott and Laira (Plymouth). It was withdrawn from Cardiff in June 1962, and was sent to Swindon for breaking up. It had one final unusual task — coupled to its twin, 6024 King Edward I, it was towed over a bridge for weight testing purposes. Both locomotives survived and ended up being dumped in Woodhams’ Scrapyard.

Whilst King Edward I was saved in 1974, King Edward II remained at the scrapyard due to the rear driving wheels being badly damaged in a shunting accident. However as part of the 150th anniversary of GWR’s formation in 1985, the hulk was acquired by Messrs Harvey of Bristol and put on display at Bristol Temple Meads railway station.

It was then given to the Great Western Society at Didcot, and as of 2006 is undergoing full restoration, the only major task remaining being to rebuild the boiler. The restoration has included the casting of new rear driving wheels in 1994, followed by re-wheeling the chassis in 1995. The casting is notable since it is thought to be the first wheels to be created for a standard gauge locomotive in preservation. The damaged wheels were also acquired by the Great Western Society at Didcot and can today be seen on display there.

Shipyard is - Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) is a United States Navy shipyard covering 179 acres (0.7 km²) of property bordered on the south by Sinclair Inlet, on the west by the Bremerton Annex of Naval Base Kitsap, and on the north and east by the city of Bremerton, Washington. It is the Pacific Northwest’s largest naval shore facility and one of Washington state’s largest industrial installations. PSNS & IMF provides the Navy with maintenance, modernization, and technical and logistics support.

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard was established in 1891 as a Naval Station and was designated Navy Yard Puget Sound in 1901. During World War I, the Navy Yard constructed ships, including 25 subchasers, seven submarines, two minesweepers, seven sea-going tugs, and two ammunition ships, as well as 1,700 small boats. During World War II, the shipyard’s primary effort was the repair of battle damage to ships of the U.S. fleet and those of its allies.

Perhaps the most visible feature of the shipyard is its huge green hammerhead crane, built in 1933. The PSNS hammerhead crane is 250 feet tall and 80 feet wide with a lifting capacity of 250 tons. The hammerhead crane has not been used for many years.

Following World War II, Navy Yard Puget Sound was designated Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. It engaged in an extensive program of modernizing carriers, including converting conventional flight decks to angle decks. During the Korean War, the shipyard was engaged in the activation of ships. In the late 1950s, it entered an era of new construction with the building of a new class of guided missile frigates. In 1965, USS Sculpin (SSN 590) became the first nuclear-powered submarine to be worked on at PSNS.

In 1990 the Navy authorized the Ship-Submarine Recycling Program (SRP) to recycle nuclear-powered ships at PSNS. Approximately 25% of the shipyard’s workload involves inactivation, reactor compartment disposal, and recycling of ships. It has pioneered an environmentally safe method of deactivating and recycling nuclear-powered ships. This process places the U.S. Navy in the role of being the world’s only organization to design, build, operate, and recycle nuclear-powered ships.

On May 15, 2003 PSNS and IMF were consolidated into what is now know as PSNS & IMF.

The shipyard also contains a large collection of inactive U.S. Navy vessels, including several aircraft carriers. The ships are mothballed, meaning that they are stored in case they are needed by the Navy in the future.

The shipyard was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992.

Were scrapped - British Rail Class 44

The British Rail Class 44 or Sulzer Type 4 diesel locomotives were built by British Railways’ Derby Works between 1959 to 1960. They were named after British mountains, and consequently nicknamed Peaks.


Description

In part inspired by LMS prototypes 10000 and 10001 the Class 44 diesels were some of the first big diesels commissioned for the British Rail modernisation project and were the precursors to the Class 45 and Class 46 locomotives modelled on this design. When initially put into service the locomotives were fitted with multi-unit working and steam heating boilers for passenger service. They worked regularly over the WCML for a couple of years, also between St.Pancras and Manchester. Once the Class 45 units were available with their higher running speed the steam heating boilers were removed and the Class 44 locomotives were assigned to freight duties, largely in the East Midlands where they were all based at Toton.

Ways. Five Ways - Bijective proof

In combinatorics, bijective proof is a proof technique that finds a bijective function

<math>f:A \rightarrow B</math>

between two sets <math>A</math> and <math>B</math> and thus proves that both sets
have the same number of elements: <math>|A| = |B|</math>.


Basic examples


Symmetry of the binomial coefficients:

<math> {n \choose k} = {n \choose n-k} </math>

Proof.
We count the number of ways choosing k elements from an n-set.
By definition, the expression on the left hand side of the equation is the number of ways choosing k from n.
But each time we choose any k elements, we must also leave behind nk elements, which is the same as choosing nk elements to leave behind, so that this number must also equal the right hand side of the equation.
<math>\Box</math>


Pascal’s triangle recurrence relation:

<math> {n \choose k} = {n-1 \choose k-1} + {n-1 \choose k}</math> for all 1 ≤ kn − 1.

Proof.
We count the number of ways to choose k elements from an n-set.
Again, by definition, the left hand side of the equation is the number of ways to choose k from n.
Since 1 ≤ kn − 1, we can pick a fixed element e from the n-set so that the remaining subset is not empty.
For each k-set, if e is chosen, there are

<math>{n-1 \choose k-1}</math>

ways to choose the remaining k − 1 elements among the remaining n − 1 choices; otherwise, there are

<math>{n-1 \choose k}</math>

ways to choose the remaining k elements among the remaining n − 1 choices.
Thus, there are

<math>{n-1 \choose k-1} + {n-1 \choose k}</math>

ways to choose k elements depending on whether e is included in each selection, as in the right hand side expression. <math>\Box</math>


Other examples

Problems that admit combinatorial proofs are not limited to binomial coefficient identities. As the complexity of the problem increases, a combinatorial proof can become very sophisticated. This technique is particularly useful in areas of discrete mathematics such as combinatorics, graph theory, and number theory.

The most classical examples of bijective proofs in combinatorics include:

  • Prüfer sequence, giving a proof of Cayley’s formula for the number of labeled trees.
  • Robinson-Schensted algorithm, giving a proof of Burnside’s formula for the symmetric group.
  • Conjugation of Young diagrams, giving a proof of a classical result on the number of certain integer partitions.
  • Bijective proofs of the pentagonal number theorem.
  • Bijective proofs of the formula for the Catalan numbers.

Edward Bond Saved - Bond energy

In chemistry, bond energy (E) is a measure of bond strength in a chemical bond. For example the carbon-hydrogen bond energy in methane E(C–H) is the enthalpy change involved with breaking up one molecule of methane into a carbon atom and 4 hydrogen radicals divided by 4. Bond energy (E) should not be confused with bond dissociation energy.

Another example: an O–H bond of a water molecule (H–O–H) has 493.4 kJ mol-1 of bond dissociation energy, and 424.4 kJ mol-1 is needed to cleave the remaining O–H bond. The bond energy of the O–H bonds in water is 458.9 kJ mol-1, which is the average of the values.

Some bond energy trends (units are in kcal/mol and (kJ/mol)) :

H F Cl Br I OH N NH2
bond energies H–X 104 (436) 135 (570) 103 (431) 87 (366) 71 (298) 119 (498) 110 ( 460)
bond energies CH3–X 105 (440) 109 (452) 84 (352) 70 (293) 56 (236) 91 (382) 87 (365)


Bond energy/distance correlation

Bond strength (energy) can be directly related to the bond distance. Therefore we can use the metallic, ionic, or covalent radii of each atom in the molecule to determine the bond strength. For example, the covalent radius of boron is estimated at 83.0 pm, but the bond length of B–B in B2Cl4 is 175 pm, a significantly larger value. This would indicate that the bond between the two boron atoms is a rather weak single bond. In another example, the metallic radius of rhenium is 137.5 pm, with a Re–Re bond length of 224 pm in the compound Re2Cl8. From this data, we can conclude that the bond is a very strong bond or a quadruple bond. This method of determination is most useful for covalently bonded compounds .

2006 television drama - City of Angels (TV series)

For the 1976 television series starring Wayne Rogers, see City of Angels (1976 TV series).

City Of Angels, a television show which ran from January-December of 2000, was network television’s first predominantly black medical drama. The show centered around the professional and personal lives of the doctors and nurses at Angels of Mercy Hospital in Los Angeles, California, USA. While the show brought about familiar faces (Vivica A. Fox, Blair Underwood, and Michael Warren) the show was a starting point for actors Hill Harper (who in a controversial episode, was on screen with his buttocks exposed), Gabrielle Union, and Saturday Night Live ’s Maya Rudolph. During the second season, Les Moonves, president of CBS, wanted to cancel the show, and many members of the African-American community began a letter-writing campaign (a la Living Single) but to no avail. The show was cancelled in December 2000.

Five Ways Birmingham - Birmingham Hippodrome

The Birmingham Hippodrome is a theatre in the Chinese Quarter, situated on Hurst Street in Birmingham, England.

Although most famous as the home stage of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, it also hosts a wide variety of other performances including visiting opera and ballet companies, touring West End shows, pantomime and drama.


History

The first venue built on the Hippodrome site was a building of assembly rooms in 1895. In 1899 a stage and circus ring was added together with a miniature of Blackpool Tower (removed 1963) and the enterprise named the “Tower of Varieties”. After failing, this reopened as the “Tivoli” in 1900, finally becoming “The Hippodrome” in October 1903. The current neo-classical auditorium seats 1,900 and was designed by Burdwood and Mitchell in 1924.

The exterior of the theatre was substantially rebuilt by Associated Architects and Law and Dunbar-Nasmith in 2001.

Goal - Wide Right (Buffalo Bills)

Wide Right or 47 wide right is a term for Scott Norwood of the Buffalo Bills’s missed 47-yard field goal during Super Bowl XXV. There were 8 seconds left and the Bills were behind by only a single point. A Norwood field goal would have won the game for the Bills. Instead, the New York Giants took possession with 4 seconds left and ran out the clock for a 20-19 victory, the closest margin of victory ever in a Super Bowl.


References in popular culture

The field goal miss was spoofed in the film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, in which fictional Miami Dolphins place kicker Ray Finkle misses a key field goal during a Super Bowl game, which eventually leads to his kidnapping both Dan Marino and the Dolphins mascot for revenge.

There is also a spoof in a skit on the series Robot Chicken where he misses a person with a “kick me” sign posted on his back.

The field goal miss was also the central feature of the popular indie film Buffalo ’66, where Billy Brown (played by the film’s writer and director, Vincent Gallo), just released from prison, seeks to kill a Bills kicker named “Scott Wood” for missing a field goal that would have won the Super Bowl, causing him to lose a major bet that he could not pay for. The bookie forced Billy to confess to a friend’s crime and be sent to prison to settle the debt.

In the Everybody Loves Raymond, fourth season episode “The Tenth Anniversary”, Ray tapes the 1991 Super Bowl over his wedding video. After this is discovered, the men at the anniversary party watch the video only to find that Ray did not tape the kick, as the tape cuts back to his wedding.

In Macon Georgia. The - Interstate 14

Interstate 14 is a proposed interstate set to run from Natchez, Mississippi or Alexandria, Louisiana to Augusta, Georgia or North Augusta, South Carolina named for the 14th Amendment to the U.S. ConstitutionPress Release from the office of Sen. Isakson, which provides equal rights for all. The proposal for I-14 has its origins in the same 2005 federal legislation tied to Interstate 3, which is proposed to run from Savannah, GA to Knoxville, TN.

In 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) was signed into law by President George W. Bush. The act included a designation for I-14 (specifically as the 14th Amendment Highway), and I-3 (as the 3rd Infantry Division Highway). The legislation did not provide for funding the highways, however.

The actual final route of Interstate 14 is unknown. But the 2005 SAFETEA-LU legislation indicated that in Georgia, I-14 would follow the existing Fall Line Freeway, which runs from Augusta to Columbus, by way of Macon and Milledgeville. The present Fall Line Freeway roadway, which is presently under construction, is signed in Georgia as State Route 540.

The Fall Line Freeway highway in Georgia, which, as of May 2006 is 79 percent complete, follows U.S. 80 from Columbus eastward to Geneva, Georgia 96 from there to Fort Valley, and Georgia 49 Connector and Georgia 49 to Byron, where it joins Interstate 75. It follows I-75 to Macon, then proceeds east along or near Georgia 57 as far as the Wilkinson County line. The Fall Line Freeway then proceeds northeastward mostly on new roadway until it reaches Georgia 24 just southeast of Milledgeville, and it then follows S.R. 24, State Route 88, and U.S. 1 to Augusta, ending at Interstate 520.

Sava - Bosna (river)

This article is about the Bosna River. For other uses of the term Bosna / Bosnia, see Bosnia (disambiguation).

The Bosna (Cyrillic: Босна) is the third longest river in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is considered one of the country’s three major internal rivers, along with the Neretva and Vrbas Rivers; the other three major rivers of Bosnia and Herzegovina are the Una River, to the northwest, the Sava River, to the north, and the Drina River, to the east. The Bosna River flows for 271 kilometers (168 miles). Its name does not have any foreign variations. In the Roman times the river was called the Bosona, and it is thought that this is probably the Illyrian origin of the name Bosna.


Course and tributaries

The River Bosna also makes up the Bosna River Valley, the country’s industrial center and home to close to a million people, as well as the location of several major cities. The river’s biggest tributaries are the Željeznica, Miljacka, Fojnica, Lašva, Gostović, Krivaja, Usora, and Spreča rivers.

Its source is at the spring Vrelo Bosne, at the foothills of the Mount Igman, on the outskirts of Sarajevo. The spring is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s chief natural landmarks and tourist attractions. From there, the Bosna River flows northwards, through the heart of Bosnia, eventually becoming a right tributary of the Sava River.

Although it does not pass through any foreign countries, the Bosna flows through a number of cantons and regions of Bosnia. From its starting point in the Sarajevo Canton, it also flows through Zenica-Doboj Canton, Doboj Region, and Posavina Canton, in that order.

On its way north the River Bosna also passes through the cities of Visoko, Zenica, and Doboj.

Scientists - Momus Alexander Morgus

Momus Alexander Morgus, also known as Dr. Morgus and Morgus the Magnificent, is the television persona of former late-night horror host Sid Noel.

As the fictional scientist Dr. Morgus, he first appeared on late night television in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 3, 1959, in the House of Shock. With the help of his assistant, Chopsley, and a talking skull known as E.R.I.C., Morgus conducted weekly experiments while hosting late night horror movies. He also appeared in Detroit in 1964. He was the first horror host to star in a feature film, “The Wacky World of Dr. Morgus” in 1962.

He claims his parents were scientists. He claims to come from a long line of scientists, stretching back 4,380 years to Morgus the First, master architect of the great pyramid. Morgus alleges to have mastered differential calculus at age five and estimates his IQ to be somewhere in the 300 range. He claims to have created the Internet (later stolen by the Pentagon), the cell phone, coined the phrase “outside the box,” and discovered the speed of dark, which he described as roughly twice the speed of light. He also insisted that he possesses Albert Einstein’s brain and the world’s first molecular integrated computer.
