Overview. The chancel is generally the area used by the clergy and choir during worship, while the congregation is in the nave. Direct access may be provided by a priest's door, usually on the south side of the church.
nave, central and principal part of a Christian church, extending from the entrance (the narthex) to the transepts (transverse aisle crossing the nave in front of the sanctuary in a cruciform church) or, in the absence of transepts, to the chancel (area around the altar).
Generically, it's called the stage. In strictly church-specific terms, it's called the chancel. I bring up the term chancel because I think it's too easy to view the front of the sanctuary as "a stage where the musicians and pastor work" instead of how it should be viewed; "a place where God is worshiped."

pulpit, in Western church architecture, an elevated and enclosed platform from which the sermon is delivered during a service.
Such a room is sometimes called a parvise which spelt as parvis normally means an open space or colonnade in front of a church entrance.
The nave is the area of the church where parishioners, or members of the church, sit or stand. In Catholic and Protestant churches, this area is comprised of pews.
apse, in architecture, a semicircular or polygonal termination to the choir, chancel, or aisle of a secular or ecclesiastical building. First used in pre-Christian Roman architecture, the apse often functioned as an enlarged niche to hold the statue of a deity in a temple.
Churches Militant, Penitent, and Triumphant – Wikipedia.
A pulpit is a raised stand for preachers in a Christian church. The origin of the word is the Latin pulpitum (platform or staging). The traditional pulpit is raised well above the surrounding floor for audibility and visibility, accessed by steps, with sides coming to about waist height.
In church architecture, the chancel is the space around the altar, including the choir and the sanctuary (sometimes called the presbytery), at the liturgical east end of a traditional Christian church building. It may terminate in an apse.

Q: Problems with casting and short parameters in Java I am trying to understand the following code:
public class A {
   private void doTask()  {
      doInt(99);
   }

   public short doInt(short s)  {
      return 100;
   }
}

The code gives a compiler error on line "doInt(99)".
The method doInt(short) in the type A is not applicable for the arguments (int)

Can someone explain why it's giving me the error.

A: In java, the default type of an integer number is an int. Java will automatically upcast (eg from short to int), but will issue a warning with downcasting (eg from int to short) because of possible loss of data.
The fix for your code is this:
doInt((short)99);

This explicit downcast changes the 99 (which is an int) to a short, so there's no (further) possible loss of data.

A: Try
public class A {
   private void doTask()  {
      doInt((short)99);
   }

   public short doInt(short s)  {
      return (short)100;
   }
}

Java thinks that all literals (such as 99 or 100) in your program is int.
If you pass big number, 12345678 for example, it will be cutted to fit to short value. Java cannot cut number without you, so you must do it yourself. That way you see that you casting int to short

A: You need to cast 99 to a short. Please try the following
public class A {
   private void doTask()  {
      doInt((short) 99);
   }

   public short doInt(short s)  {
      return 100;
   }
}

A:
int data type is generally the default choice unless there is a reason.

And hence 99 is treated as an int.
Read more details on Primitive Data Types
You need explicit casting when required.
Change doInt( 99 ) to doInt( ( short ) 99 ) and it should be working.

A: The main cause of error is
You cannot implicitly convert nonliteral numeric types of larger storage size to short
So change your code to following.
public class A {
   private void doTask()  {
      doInt((short)99);
   }

   public short doInt(short s)  {
      return (short)100;
   }
}

STB Won't Reconsider Rate Reasonable Rule
The U.S. Surface Transportation Board last week denied two petitions seeking reconsideration of agency rules that establish a streamlined approach for pleading market dominance in rate reasonableness proceedings.
STB adopted the rules more than two years ago.
At the time, the STB said, "if demonstrated by a complainant, [it] would constitute a prima facie showing of market dominance."
The factors the STB said it would consider in such cases include the movement has a revenue-to-variable cost ratio of 180 percent or greater; the movement would exceed 500 highway miles between origin and destination; there is no intramodal competition from other railroads; there is no barge competition; there is no pipeline competition; the complainant has used truck for 10 percent or less of its volume (by tonnage) subject to the rate at issue over a five-year period; the complainant has no practical build-out alternative due to physical, regulatory, financial, or other issues (or combination of issues).
The petitions for reconsideration were filed by several trade organizations representing railroad shippers.
Their petition claimed the STB "committed material error regarding four aspects of its final rule adopting the streamlined approach.
Also seeking reconsideration was the Association of American Railroads.
In denying the petitions for reconsideration, the STB said the petitioners had "failed to demonstrate material error, but instead merely disagree with the Board's decision on these issues."

SEPTA Names Chief Safety Officer
Philadelphia-based Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has appointed Ronald Keele as its chief safety officer.
He will lead the development, monitoring and necessary adjustment of SEPTA's plan to "ensure a safe and healthy environment for all employees, riders, and community members," SEPTA said in a news release.
That includes development of methods to measure the Authority's safety performance and establish programs to routinely involve executive leadership in safety planning.
Keele comes to SEPTA from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority where he held a similar position as a safety officer.

Surdyk to Present at AOS Event on Feb. 9
Marty Surdyk will be among the headliners at the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum winter speaker's series.
Surdyk, a former Akron Railroad Club president and newsletter editor, will be showing images of excursion trains on the Ohio Central System,
The program opens with excursion trains rains that ran on the line through Sugarcreek when it was still operated by Norfolk Southern and continues into excursions out of Dennison in the Genesee & Wyoming era.
Featured will be the steam locomotives acquired and restored by the late Jerry Joe Jacobson and the excursion trains that they pulled over various segments of the Ohio Central system.
Not to be forgotten are the vintage F units Ohio Central operated including F9A Nos. 6307 and 6313 in their sharp livery that recalled the Pennsylvania Railroad pinstripes scheme.
Jacobson founded the Ohio Central and later created the Age of Steam Roundhouse to preserve his collection of steam locomotives, and vintage railroad rolling stock and diesel locomotives.
The program will begin at 6 p.m. on Feb. 9 at the Roundhouse.
Also slated to be presented at the Roundhouse is the documentary Engineering Tragedy: The Ashtabula Train Disaster.
It will be shown at 6 p.m. on March 9. Attendees will be able to meet the producers, directors and some of the actors of the documentary, which aired on PBS.
The Roundhouse was used in the making of the documentary with former McCloud River Railroad No. 9 used as the stand-in for both of the steam locomotives in different scenes.
The Ashtabula train disaster and bridge collapse was the worst train disaster of the 19th century, and left 97 dead.
It involved the Dec. 29, 1876, collapse of a bridge on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern over the Ashtabula River as The Pacific Express was rolling over it during a winter storm.
The two-hour long narrated documentary explores the events surrounding the disaster, including the engineering, construction, and collapse of the bridge, and the treacherous conditions that hampered the rescue attempts of trapped passengers.
In the wake of the incident, public pressure resulted in the adoption of standards for bridge construction and inspection that continue to apply today.

L&N Freight House to be Sold at Auction
A former Louisville & Nashville freight station in Kentucky was to be auctioned today (Jan. 27)
Located in Hopkinsville, the 1905-built brick facility is owned by the Hopkinsville Water Environment Authority, which has said it no longer needs the building for storage.
News reports indicated the freight house has been vacant for several years. The two-story structure has 5,600 feet of office space and 9,500 feet of warehouse space.
The auction was to be conducted at noon by Bolinger Real Estate and Auction.
The freight house is located across the tracks from the former L&N passenger station, which is owned by a city development agency. The passenger depot has been vacant for the past four years and a local preservation group is seeking to save it.

STB Won't Stay Rate Arbitration Proposal
The U.S. Surface Transportation Board has denied a request by four Class 1 railroads to stay implementation of an agency rule issued last month establishing an arbitration mechanism to settle small rate disputes.
The arbitration program would only become effective if all Class 1 railroads agreed to participate.
CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, and the U.S. operating subsidiaries of Canadian National asked the board in late December to delay the deadline for Class 1 railroads to agree or disagree to participate in the arbitration program.
The rule establishing the arbitration program is to take effect on Feb. 3.
The STB has described the arbitration program as one of two approaches it is taking to create new "rate reasonableness" proceedings that regulators contend will streamline the process for shippers and railroads to resolve smaller rate disputes.
The STB gave Class 1 railroads 50 days from the publication of the rule in the Federal Register to commit to participating in the arbitration program for five years. The rule was published in early January.
If all seven Class 1 carriers agree to that, they will be exempt from the Final Offer Rate Review rate challenge process.
Smaller rates are defined by the STB as rate disputes worth up to $4 million in relief over two years.
Under the new FORR procedure, if regulators find a rate to be unreasonable, they "will decide the rate by selecting either the complainant's or the defendant's final offer, subject to an expedited procedural schedule that adheres to firm deadlines.
Under the arbitration program, Class I rail carriers would commit for a period of five years to arbitrate rate disputes, under a similarly expedited schedule.

Pilot Killed in Crash Along Rail Line in Indianapolis
The pilot of a small plane was killed on Tuesday afternoon when the craft crashed along a railroad line on the south side of Indianapolis.
The crash occurred about 3:45 p.m. near Weaver Avenue close to the University of Indianapolis campus.
Rail traffic was halted while investigators processed the scene. A Louisville & Indiana train was stopped near the Weaver Avenue crossing.
The rail line was once a Pennsylvania Railroad route between Indianapolis and Louisville, Kentucky.
Most of the route is now operated by L&I, but CSX has retained ownership of the track in Indianapolis.
The plane was reported to be a Cirrus SR-90 that had taken off from Indianapolis Executive Airport.

Lima-Hamilton Switcher Fired up in Indiana
An Indiana tourist railroad recently fired up a vintage Lima-Hamilton diesel locomotive to complete a 10-year restoration program, Trains magazine reported on its website.
The Whitewater Valley Railroad, which operates over a former New York Central branch line between Connersville and Metamora in southeast Indiana, operated former Armco A-3080/LS-1000 switcher No. 709 under its own power.
The move was made Jan. 14 in Connersville. The switcher last ran in 2005.
Railroad officials said additional work needs to be done before the 709 can begin revenue service.
The Whitewater Valley owns two other Lima diesel switchers including former Cincinnati Union Terminal A-3149/LS-750 No. 25 and former Baltimore & Ohio A-3170/LS-1200 No. 320.

FRA Warns Class 1s on Training Programs
Federal Railroad Administration head Amit Bose has warned Class I railroad CEOs that the agency will commence enforcement actions against them if their companies fail to follow the agency's recommended improvements to their engineer and conductor training and certification programs.
In a letter to the CEOs, Bose said a review of the training programs by FRA staff has found that revisions made by the Class 1 carriers barely made incremental program toward correcting deficiencies that FRA inspectors identified.
Some programs have been reviewed by the FRA several times.
"To encourage full compliance please be advised that FRA is committed to pursuing enforcement action if a railroad's resubmitted certification program continues to fail to address the deficiencies identified by FRA."

'Star Trek 3' To Begin Filming Next Year?
'star trek 3' to begin filming next year?
As with most blockbusters that make upwards of $446 million at the worldwide box office, there are already plans to follow up "Zachary Quinto is to be believed, we might be jumping into warp speed sooner than we initially thought.
There are a few issues here that indicate all of this talk should be taken with a particularly large grain of salt.
While it's not inconceivable by any stretch of the imagination that Paramount would want to quickly pump out another "Trek," it would be an unusually short turnaround for an enormous sci-fi tentpole. Though "Into Darkness" performed better overall at the box office thanks to strong foreign ticket sales, the sequel couldn't match its predecessor in the United States, so the studio may want to strike while the iron is hot and awareness of the series is up.
Quinto also suggested that Abrams is likely to return for a third "Star Trek." This is especially problematic if, as Quinto suggested, "Star Trek 3" plans on starting production next year. Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII" has a January start date tentatively on the books and a 2015 release date to meet. That schedule does not allow for a "Star Trek" to be squeezed anywhere.
Paramount has not responded to our request for comment as of this writing. We'll keep an eye out for any further updates about a new "Star Trek" sequel.


The 1/2 Oz Lunar Mouse was minted in 2008 which is known as the Chinese year of the mouse. The Lunar Series of silver collector coins are inspired by the 12-year cycle of the Chinese lunar calendar and are annually minted by Perth Mint in Australia. The Perth Mint was established in 1899 as part of the British Royal Mint and is known for the high quality of its coins. The 2008 silver Lunar Mouse relates to those who are born under the sign mouse whose personalities are described as being: smart, economical, flexible and charming.
The world-famous Lunar coins are now universally recognized and traded as an investment in precious metal. The coins have a weight of 1/2 troy ounce, 15.55 grams, with a purity of 999/1000 fine silver. Because these Lunars are minted in limited numbers they hold both investment value as well as being highly collectible.
In 1996 the Perth Mint in Australia minted the first Lunar Series gold coins to celebrate the year of the mouse. Due to the limited production of these silver coins, the series has also established collector's value. The coins of the golden Lunar series became increasingly popular that it was decided in 1999, the year of the rabbit, to produce a silver line of Lunar coins. In 2008 the 1 Oz Lunar Mouse made its first appearance in silver. Coin specifications can be found by clicking on the "Additional Information" tab.

Od jesieni 1925 r. do wiosny 1926 r. przeszedł przeszkolenie instruktorskie, prowadzone przez angielskich pilotów, po którym został instruktorem lotniczym, a 28 listopada awansował do stopnia porucznika. Podobne szkolenie odbył w 1928 r. 1 marca 1929 r. został dowódcą grupy lotniczej. 24 lutego 1931 r. dostał stopień kapitana. Od października 1931 r. do kwietnia 1934 r. studiował w estońskiej wyższej szkole wojennej, po czym powrócił do szkoły lotniczej, zostając szefem departamentu szkolenia lotniczego.

Tigers, Braves each earn a point. Wait, wrong sport.
By Kurt Mensching@KurtJustKurt Mar 19, 2010, 10:55pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Tigers, Braves each earn a point. Wait, wrong sport.
Detroit Tigers 0 0 0 2 1 0 1 0 0 0 4 13 1
Atlanta Braves 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 4 15 1
Seems only the latest linescore is available. So that was the evening half of the Tigers' split squad today. Detroit fell to the Yankees earlier in the day, 6-2.
Yankees 6, Tigers 2
Rick Porcello gave up his first runs of the spring. Three of them were unearned, one was earned. He also struck out three in three innings.
Detroit's offense never really got untracked. Austin Jackson had a pair of strikeouts, as did Miguel Cabrera. Clete Thomas had two hits and scored two runs.
Tigers 4, Braves 4 (10 innings)
The Tigers and Braves could not settle the decision after nine innings and decided to drop the matter entirely after 10. Typical spring training fair, especially when Detroit had a split squad day. Teams just don't often have the pitching depth available on the road in spring training because managers want to make sure everyone gets their work in.
Getting the start today, Jeremy Bonderman allowed two runs on four hits and two walks. He also walked two, hit a batter and struck out a pair. Bonderman's in-game results are not giving a lot of confidence right now, although it's always hard to get much feel based on a split-squad defense and box score analysis.
Tom Gage of the Detroit News provides the only quote I can find about Bonderman's day:
"Instead of throwing the ball at 96, and blowing it by guys, he has more movement on his pitches now -- and he's just trying to figure out how to use it," catcher Alex Avila said of Bonderman. "I thought he threw the ball well, but he's still trying to find the command."
Reliever Robbie Weinhardt gave up a run in the ninth inning to allow the extra inning. It sounds like the run wasn't really his fault eithe.
At the plate, Alex Avila had a pair of doubles and both Johnny Damon and Jeff Larish homered.
Comment of the night
Tigerdog1 is not impressed by the fact it is the greatest sports weekend of the year.
Buck Fasketball, the Tigers are playing!
Tigers sign infielder Cesar Hernandez to minor league deal The long-time MLB infielder could earn $1.5 million if he makes the major league roster.


Recently, Andy Stanley interviewed me at a Buckhead Church men's event here in Atlanta. As the conversation progressed, I asked Andy what life experiences brought him to an active, meaningful faith in Jesus.
My journey began with negative disruption, a painful wakeup call saying, "Hey, your life isn't working. You need God." Others have experienced what I call positive disruption. They were living an okay existence, but the influence of someone they admired, or a small group they were in, or sermon or song they heard, moved them to decide they wanted more . . . to go all-in and make "this way of life" real and meaningful.
But Andy's answer revealed a third path. Referring to a recent conversation with his father, Andy said his dad (and mom) prayed this prayer over him from birth . . .
That's about the best, most portable, pervasive, positive parental guidance I've ever heard!
Think about it. What if we start praying that for our children or grandchildren? What if we tell them what we believe and why we're praying that prayer for them? Something like this . . .
Will you join me in praying this? Consistently. Earnestly. Passionately.
Great suggestion. I'm making part of our nightly routine tonight. Thanks Regi.
Yes, I will. Thank for this message today. I have a wonderful 10 year old daughter, whom we home school… most of her friends go to public school. The two world views are very different and there are a lot of worldly influences that seem much more exciting to children that age. Your message today is an answer to my prayers for direction on becoming a better leader and example to her.

8 City firms make workplace gender equality employer power list
By Thomas Connelly on Apr 21 2016 9:23am
Top outfits recognised for creating workplaces and cultures that are inclusive of women — but what are their partner diversity stats like?
The 2016 'Top 50 Employers for Women list' has been unveiled with eight City law firms making this year's cut.
In recognition of organisations that strive to create workplace gender equality, the list features corporate players from finance, banking, retail and — most importantly — law.
Compiled in partnership with The Times newspaper and the charity Business in the Community, this year's list features a host of City outfits which have "demonstrated that gender equality is a key part of their business strategy" across all levels of the organisation.
Linklaters, Addleshaw Goddard, CMS, Eversheds, Hogan Lovells, Herbert Smith Freehills, Pinsent Masons and Simmons & Simmons have all made the 2016 list, proving their "commitment to creating workplaces and cultures that are inclusive of women". As the Legal Cheek Firms Most List shows, all have partnerships made up of over 20% women, except Simmons & Simmons, which has just 14% female partners.
This is the second year running that eight law firms have featured in the top 50. Olswang, Norton Rose Fulbright and magic circle outfit Freshfields — which all featured last year — failed to make the 2016 list. All of these firms have a significantly higher proportion of women partners than Simmons & Simmons.
Kathryn Nawrockyi, gender equality director at Business in the Community, said:
Huge congratulations to all 50 employers on being named in The Times Top 50 Employers for Women 2016. The process was highly competitive so they should all be extremely proud of their success. Each company has demonstrated a commitment to fundamentally changing workplace processes and cultures to make them inclusive to all, benefitting women and men at every level in their organisation. I hope they inspire other employers to do the same.
Despite the commitment to gender diversity, women continue to struggle to make partner at the same rate as men. Earlier this week magic circle firm Linklaters — that feature on this list for the third year running — revealed that from a 10-strong round of UK partner promotions, two were women. Over all Linklaters has 24% women partners — the highest figure in the magic circle alongside Slaughter and May.
This followed the news that silver circle outfit Macfarlanes — which late last week proudly trumpeted six partner promotions — had singularly failed to elevate any women thereby missing an opportunity to improve its lagging gender diversity stats.
One alternative model law firm, Obelisk Support, also made it to the top 50. The firm is behind the First 100 Years project which celebrates women in the law.

Writing an Expository Essay
Info: 319 words (1 pages) Study Guide
"An expository essay does not so much ask the writer to set out to give their views, unlike other essays. Instead, you are being asked to display, as fairly and comprehensively as possible, the views of others; as the name suggests, to 'expose' them. The expository essay is also used in the case of reportage e.g. in journalism."
The difference in purpose in the expository essay is reflected in the difference in the essay's structure. The subject is presented in close, analytical detail but without any input other than the 'facts'. No use is made of criticism or development of a thesis. It is, in many ways, similar in some ways to the way in which a case might be presented in a legal transcript. However, a good expository essay also seeks to explain, and in this way differs from mere reportage or legal transcript – although the method is frequently used in professional life and is not the province of academic study alone.
You will need to be exceptionally precise in your use of language in an expository essay and it will probably need to be revised; the essay should aid the reader's comprehension not by personal opinion but by logical, formal, objective analysis. The use of linguistic devices such as analogies is common in the expository essay, the more familiar the better as this helps the reader to connect to the fuller comprehension of the subject of the essay.
Analysis of evidence is the fundamental method which governs the expository essay, in both research and structure. Aided by analysis, the expository essay gives full facts about the subject, clearly stated, and attempts to set the subject into a more generic context. Inference plays little or no part in the expository essay, as 'guesswork', on the part of the writer or reader, is considered inappropriate to this type of essay.
