  • The Perfect Sacrifice Lesson Focus | Since His Beginning, Man Has Always Offered Sacrifices to God in Order to Atone for His Sins
    St. Mary's At-Home Guide - February 24 (Ch 20-21) - Grade 5 Lesson 20 The Perfect Sacrifice Lesson Focus | Since his beginning, man has always offered sacrifices to God in order to atone for his sins. No sacrifice, however, could truly atone for sin because no sacrifice was perfect. Jesus’ offering of himself on the Cross, however, was. That’s because Jesus, who both offered the sacrifice and was the sacrifice, was perfect. At every Mass, Jesus, through the priest, continues to offer himself to God when the bread and wine are transformed into his Body and Blood. It is the same sacrifice offered on Calvary, re–presented in time. 1 | begin Pray the Glory Be with your child. Show your child pictures of sheep, goats, calves, doves, wheat, and wine. Explain that if you had lived in Jerusalem during Jesus’ time, your family would have gone to the temple to give these items to the priest for sacrifice. Together read John 1:19–30 aloud. 2 | summarize Summarize this week’s lesson for your child: Example: When Jesus offered his life on the Cross, he became the one, perfect sacrifice, the Lamb of God offered up for all the world’s sins. After that, it was no longer necessary for people to offer up other ritual sacrifices, such as goats, lambs, and doves. 3 | review References Review this week’s lesson by asking your child the following questions: Student Textbook: 1.

In and of themselves, the behaviors that are experienced by the victim as stalking can seem benign to the outside observer. Someone leaves repeated phone messages, sends gifts, shows up in places where the victim habitually goes, all of which in isolation do not appear to be threatening (Purcell, Pathé, & Mullen, 2004). Yet it is the context of the relationship that sets the stage for what the victim experiences as intimidation. That is, the stalker is pursuing a relationship that the victim does not desire, often because either the victim is a former partner of the stalker, the victim is a famous person who has no relationship with the stalker, or the victim is a professional who has no interest in a personal relationship with the victim. What differentiates these behaviors from normal interpersonal interactions and characterizes them as stalking is that they are (1) intentional; (2) repeated; and (3) result in fear (Spitzberg & Cupach, 2007).

  • From Address to the Second National Congress of Venezuela
    from A DDRESS TO THE SECOND NATIONAL CONGRESS OF VENEZUELA 1819 Simón Bolívar Venezuela declared its independence from Spain in 1811, but then had to fight to win it. The war against Spain lasted for ten long years. During this time Venezuela struggled to create its own government. The following excerpt comes from a speech by Simón Bolívar, the great military and political hero of South American liberation. Bolívar argues that Venezuela must shape a government suited to its own special nature, rather than mimic the United States government. THINK THROUGH HISTORY: Recognizing Bias What was Bolívar’s viewpoint toward the majority of the people of Latin America? Why does he caution against a government of too much freedom and responsibility? Subject to the threefold yoke of ignorance, tyranny, and vice, the American peo- ple1 have been unable to acquire knowledge, power, or [civic] virtue. The lessons we received and the models we studied, as pupils of such pernicious teachers, were most destructive. We have been ruled more by deceit than by force, and we have been degraded more by vice than by superstition. Slavery is the daughter of Darkness: an ignorant people is a blind instrument of its own destruction. Ambition and intrigue abuse the credulity and experience of men lacking all politi- cal, economic, and civic knowledge; they adopt pure illusion as reality; they take license for liberty, treachery for patriotism, and vengeance for justice. This situa- tion is similar to that of the robust blind man who, beguiled by his strength, strides forward with all the assurance of one who can see, but, upon hitting every variety of obstacle, finds himself unable to retrace his steps.

  • CSSE 290 Web Programming Homework Assignment 7: Kevin Bacon
    CSSE 290 Web Programming Homework Assignment 7: Kevin Bacon . Background Information: The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a game based upon the theory that every actor can be connected to actor Kevin Bacon by a chain of movies no more than 6 in length. Most, but not all, can reach him in 6 steps. 12% of all actors in the IMDB cannot reach him at all. Your task for this assignment is to write the HTML/CSS and PHP code for a web site called MyMDb that mimics part of the popular IMDb movie database site. Your site will show the movies in which another actor has appeared with Kevin Bacon. The site will also show a list of all movies in which the other actor has appeared. (If you prefer, you may use another actor rather than Kevin Bacon as the center point, so long as that actor is in our database and has a large number of connections to other actors.) The following provided files are on the course web site to get started: top.html, some common HTML that should appear at the beginning of every page bottom.html, some common HTML that should appear at the end of every page mymdb.php, the initial front page that welcomes the user to the site The front search page mymdb.php contains two forms in which the user can type an actor's name. The user can search for every film the actor has appeared in (which submits to search-all.php), or every film where both the actor and Kevin Bacon have appeared (which submits to search-kevin.php).

  • Between Belief and Delusion: Cult Members and the Insanity Plea
    REGULAR ARTICLE Between Belief and Delusion: Cult Members and the Insanity Plea Brian Holoyda, MD, MPH, and William Newman, MD Cults are charismatic groups defined by members’ adherence to a set of beliefs and teachings that differ from those of mainstream religions. Cult beliefs may appear unusual or bizarre to those outside of the organization, which can make it difficult for an outsider to know whether a belief is cult-related or delusional. In accordance with these beliefs, or at the behest of a charismatic leader, some cult members may participate in violent crimes such as murder and later attempt to plead not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI). It is therefore necessary for forensic experts who evaluate cult members to understand how the court has responded to such individuals and their beliefs when they mount a defense of NGRI for murder. Based on a review of extant appellate court case law, cult member defendants have not yet successfully pleaded NGRI on the basis of cult involvement, despite receiving a broad array of psychiatric diagnoses that could qualify for such a defense. With the reintroduction of cult involvement in the DSM-5 criteria for other specified dissociative disorder, however, there may be a resurgence of dissociative-type diagnoses in future cult-related cases, both criminal and civil. J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 44:53–62, 2016 Cults are generally considered to be new charismatic organization. Because of this perception, it can be groups that espouse religious doctrine that differs difficult for an outsider to know whether a belief is from mainstream beliefs.
