The monstrance will be available to all parishes within the Diocese for perpetual adoration, and also for 40 Hour celebrations, parish missions, Youth 2000, and other specifically requested events. Bishop John McRaith and Fr. Andy Garner, Diocesan Vocations Director, anticipate that this Vocations Monstrance will be used to conjointly celebrate The Year of the Eucharist as proclaimed by Pope John Paul II, and to pray for an outpouring of vocations to the priesthood and religious life, not only this year but in the years to come. In November, 1996, during the Vatican’s celebration of Pope John Paul II’s 5oth anniversary to the priesthood, attendees gave him 120 monstrances to be used for adoration for vocations in 20 countries. “This is the greatest gift I’ve been given for my 50th anniversary to the priesthood,” the Pope said as he blessed the monstrances. “May Jesus bless you and your prayers Pope John Paul II blessed these 120 mon- with many vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.” strances in Rome during a celebration of his One of those first monstrances went to members of the Norwich, Con- Golden Anniversary of Ordination as a Priest. necticut, Diocesan Vocation Committee.

This Unit has been developed with assistance from the Office of Environment & Heritage (OEH), and the Association of the Studies of Religion (ASR). A small writing team was formed.

The nature of Christian Environmental Ethics is evolving in the context of the signs of the times. With the publication by Pope Francis on 24th May, 2015 of the first Encyclical on the environment, “Laudato Si”, official Catholic Teaching on Environmental Ethics is taking a new direction. Catholic environmental teaching is moving from an anthropocentric position to a perspective of universal communion. As with Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestant variants are continuing to develop and provide guidance to their adherence in the forms of teachings and official documents.

From the wide spectrum of possibilities the dissertation privileges multimedia and cybernetic theatrical practices. The study is based on the analysis of twenty-one theatrical productions from Spain, Chile and U.S. Latinos’ within their national as well as international theatrical and historical context. The pieces include staged productions by well-known theatrical groups, new avant-garde groups, street theatre and a religious festival. The aim of this diversity is to demonstrate that multimedia and cybernetic theatrical practices are transnational and transcultural. In this study the main topic of discussion is the use of multimedia and digital techniques as a means of theatrical and performative communication.

While boasting fans in several countries from across the globe, today, professional wrestling maintains a lasting presence in five territories - USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan and Mexico. ‘Culturally embedded spectacle’ is the unique conceptual framework developed for this paper to explain the longevity of professional wrestling in these five locations and includes the following factors: a continuous history of professional wrestling, national television exposure during the Old School era highlighting larger-than-life characters playing the face, an extensive group of independent professional wrestling federations and commemorative cultural experiences for young and old fans. 2 Granted, there may be other aspects not included here.

  • Calendar of Roman Events

    Calendar of Roman Events

    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • A Regular Octagon Is Inscribed Inside a Square. Another Square Is Inscribed Inside the Octagon

    A Regular Octagon Is Inscribed Inside a Square. Another Square Is Inscribed Inside the Octagon

    This brainteaser was written by Derrick Niederman. A regular octagon is inscribed inside a square. Another square is inscribed inside the octagon. What is the ratio of the area of the smaller square to the area of the larger square? © 2009 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Inc. Resources for Teaching Math http://illuminations.nctm.org Solution: ½. One way to see this is to rotate the blue triangles onto the top of the red trapezoids, with the hypotenuse of the triangle flush with the shorter base of the trapezoid. Then it’s pretty easy to see that if the four red and blue triangles are folded over, they’d completely cover the yellow square. In other words, the area of the yellow square is equal to the area of red trapezoids and blue triangles combined, so the ratio of the smaller square to the larger square is ½. It is also possible to calculate the area of the larger and smaller squares. Start by assuming that the length of the shorter sides of the triangles is 1 unit, as shown below. Then the hypotenuse of each triangle is 2 , and since the hypotenuse is also a side of the regular octagon, then all sides of the octagon are 2 . Consequently, the side length of the larger square is 2+ 2, and the side length of the smaller square is 1+ 2, so their 2 2 respective areas are (22+=+) 642 and (12+=+) 322. Dividing the area of the smaller square by that of the larger yields ½. If those calculations are a little too messy for you, then here is an alternative solution.
