What was decided at the Council of Nicaea?
What is the difference between a synod and a council?
What was a consequence of the Council of Nicaea quizlet?
What is the purpose of a synod?
What does synod stand for?
What was a consequence of the withdrawal of Roman armies from Britain?
Meeting at Nicaea in present-day Turkey, the council established the equality of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Holy Trinity and asserted that only the Son became incarnate as Jesus Christ. The Arian leaders were subsequently banished from their churches for heresy.
The Council of Nicaea was the first council in the history of the Christian church that was intended to address the entire body of believers. It was convened by the emperor Constantine to resolve the controversy of Arianism, a doctrine that held that Christ was not divine but was a created being.
As nouns the difference between council and synod is that council is a committee that leads or governs (eg city council, student council) while synod is an ecclesiastic council or meeting to consult on church matters.
What was the verdict of the Council of Nicaea? The bishops decided that Jesus was truly God, and was made of divine nature. What was made to prove that this was true? The Nicene creed was made as a result of the council of Nicaea, it it shows all the dogma of the church and that Jesus is true God and true man.
Synod, (from Greek synodos, "assembly"), in the Christian church, a local or provincial assembly of bishops and other church officials meeting to resolve questions of discipline or administration.
A synod (/ˈsɪnəd/) is a council of a church, usually convened to decide an issue of doctrine, administration or application. The word synod comes from the Greek: σύνοδος [ˈsinoðos] meaning "assembly" or "meeting" and is analogous with the Latin word concilium meaning "council".
Roughly 40 years after the Romans departed, in 449, Saxons, Angles, and Jutes conducted large scale invasions of Britain, causing numerous members of the Christian aristocracy to flee to Bretagne, France. The environment in Britain became increasingly hostile to Christians, and increasingly illiterate.

Here's the scenario: Your congregation, which has excellent ministries in your own community, feels called to get involved in a ministry in a faraway place. Some of your congregants say that you should send a team to offer assistance and build relationships. They want to get to know the leaders and the ministry before making a decision on whether or how much money should be sent. Besides, they say, these trips let us learn from each other in profound life-changing ways. Others are skeptical. They say that the 'help' that teams give is often not helpful and can even be harmful. Too often these trips smell of poverty tourism and are insensitive to those we visit. Considering the thousands of dollars spent on plane tickets, those ministries would be much better off if you just sent financial support instead.
The practice of sending teams to faraway places for a week or two is relatively new. So new, in fact, that the church is still figuring out the why and how of it. Some readers remember the days before 'mission trips' were commonplace. Back then, international ministries were viewed as solely the domain of professional full-time missionaries. Congregations would collect funds to support these missionaries and the programs at their mission stations. Occasionally, people from the USA would make lengthy visits to these mission stations to help out with specific tasks and train to be a missionary.
By the 1960s, we began to explore the idea that international ministries could be done by people who weren't called to be career missionaries. Instead, regular folks (often recent college graduates) would volunteer to spend a couple years or so sharing their skills and/or testimony of faith in faraway places. President Kennedy was inspired by these such programs when he founded the Peace Corps, which in turn inspired an overall increase of international volunteering.
As airline travel became more affordable, middle-class working folks began using their vacation days to see the world. It didn't take long before many of them got the idea of using their vacations to visit ministries they had supported for years or do something to address the problems they had witnessed in their travels. Over time, some even decided to bypass the old American-managed mission stations and work directly with local church leaders.
When organized volunteering trips began popping up in the 1970s, many rejected as absurd the idea that anything significant could be accomplished over such a short period-- especially when the volunteers were amateurs. However, as more and more Americans returned home from these trips with testimonies of how their eyes had been opened and their understanding of the world transformed, the practice spread like wildfire. By the 1990s and 2000s, these 'mission trips' had become a massive phenomenon.
Why am I giving this history lesson?
It is critical that we understand that, 'mission work' as most of us understand it is not "the way we've always done it;" we are learning and evolving. As tech people would say, we're in beta mode, and beta mode is a beautiful thing.
While countless people have written about the ways in which we have unintentionally done (and continue to do) some damaging stuff in the name of 'mission work,' we aren't who we once were. We aren't geniuses yet either, but if we want to get smarter about how we interact with our sisters and brothers around the world, we are going to have to keep putting ourselves out there.
Honor the voices of dissent; They are providing constructive criticism.
Go to learn; The people leading the ministries you are visiting have much to teach you.
Do your homework; Attend a seminar led by VIM or FPM trainers, read books on cross-cultural collaborations, research the region (history, traditions, etc.) and the ministry itself.
Focus on building relationships. Being supportive friends of the ministry's leaders is primary; 'doing stuff' is secondary.
Follow-up, Follow-up, Follow-up. The only thing short-term about a mission trip is the length of the visit. Have multiple debriefing and 'next-steps' meetings with your team-- even years afterwards. Use the gift of modern technology (ex: video conferencing) so that leaders of programs you wish to assist can lead these strategic planning conversations.
*I am writing with the assumption that most readers are from congregations in the USA and thus focus on history from that perspective. While I am also focusing on international mission trips, much of what I write applies to domestic mission trips as well.

NEW HAVEN -- Picnic and politics were on the menu Saturday when area Democrats welcomed the two who are battling it out for the U.S. Senate nomination in Connecticut.
Audrey Tyson, the city's Ward 29 co-chairwoman, threw a party to thank supporters who voted in a March 6 primary for Tom Ficklin and her as ward leaders and while she was at it, she decided to bring in U.S. Rep. Christopher Murphy, D-5, and his challenger in the Aug. 14 Democratic primary, Susan Bysiewicz, so that voters could familiarize themselves with them.

Gold Pumpkins! Magnolias and Sunlight: Gold Pumpkins!
I had a great time making these pumpkins and I love how they look next to my fireplace! I purposefully made these more "fall" than "Halloween" so that I can incorporate them with the other decor in my house! I totally recommend using the fake pumpkins because they will never rot and you can use them year after year! That's what I like to call an investment! Even though all four of these cost less than $40 so it's not an expensive project anyway!
Just a small tip when storing them after the fall holidays are over (I'm leaving mine out until Thanksgiving), wrap each one in tissue paper first. Since they aren't fragile it might seem silly to wrap them up, but Modge Podge has a tendency to stick to other Modge-Podged items. The tissue paper will make a barrier so they don't stick together!
Check back next week for some great fall throw pillows!
Also, let me know which pumpkin you like most in the comments below!!


I too experience the scrolling problems with Firefox (beta 4) as described by Martin on my early model Iyonix. The text disappears on scrolling but comes back with a random click in the window.
Curious to see if this happens on a later model Iyonix that I have, (not used for internet work) I find that this problem does not exist.
As far as I can see the settings on the two machines are the same so perhaps it is just early models of the Iyonix that suffer this problem.


Waxwork Records presents the soundtrack to the 2014 Australian psychological horror film, The Babadook; directed by Jennifer Kent. The Babadook focuses on a troubled widow, Amelia, who is is raising her six year old son, Samuel, after the death of her husband from an automobile accident. After a series of strange events, Amelia and Samuel unexpectedly receive a mysterious pop-up-storybook, known as 'Mister Babadook'. The book describes a hideous, tall, pale faced monster in a top hat and coat that tortures his victims after they become aware of his existence. The narrative and film engulf the viewer in themes of personal loss, grief, despair and ultimately, recovery.
The soundtrack by Jed Kurzel (Alien: Covenant) is whimsically dark, brooding, and at times a terrifying listening experience. Kurzel blends electronic instruments and synthesizers with unorthodox instruments and pulsating, drowning vocal soundscapes. The Babadook itself received worldwide critical acclaim.
"I've never seen a more terrifying film than The Babadook. It will scare the hell out of you as it did me." – William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist.
Waxwork Records have worked extensively with composer Jed Kurzel, and the creators of The Babadook, to present an incredible physical soundtrack release on deluxe vinyl; including a re-creation panel of the storybook featured in The Babadook, complete a pop-up 'Mister Babadook', heavyweight printed inserts featuring all new artwork by Jessica Seamans of LandLand and liner notes by composer Jed Kurzel.
The Babadook vinyl soundtrack is on sale now at waxworkrecords.com; in stock and ready to ship.

Anthropology of Health Policy

LAST REVIEWED: 23 April 2021
Given its holistic orientation, most medical anthropology touches upon politics: how power organizes systems of healing; how social suffering—usually political in origin—manifests in bodily symptoms; how some bodies are valued and optimized while others are controlled; and how dominant systems of meaning make legitimate some illness experiences and render others unknowable and invalid. The major theoretical traditions of the field—structural functionalism; phenomenology; Foucauldian biopolitics; critical medical anthropology; feminist epistemologies; and science and technology studies—have long grappled with power and politics. Fewer medical anthropologists, however, have studied policy directly. Policy is usually taken to mean guidelines for action. Policies can be official as of a government or more informal and practical. The organization of health systems and the provision of care is guided by policy decisions and non-decisions. Some of the works collected here take the more indirect approach to studying policy by exploring how politics impact health systems and the experiences of patients and healers. But the majority of the works study policy directly, either as a process that anthropology can help to better apprehend or as a domain of action that would benefit from anthropological insights. Anthropologists have productively studied all phases of the policy process from agenda setting, to policy formation, implementation, and assessment. Since all policies are health policies in the sense that they have potential health impacts, the possibilities for studying health policies anthropologically are practically endless. However, we have narrowed the field by concentrating on the major themes and trends in the literature: health reform and the marketization of care; immigration policy and health; race, indigeneity, and decolonizing health; pharmaceutical policy; governance and global health; reproduction and women's health; and public health policy. We have opted for a thematic rather than a theoretical organization, so readers will find a variety of theoretical orientations including applied approaches in each of the sections.
Policy was an early concern of medical anthropologists, but it did not assume a central role in the field until more recently. As Eisenburg 2011 describes, a focus on culture and health system planning in the 1970s shifted to a more critical assessment of power in medical anthropology in the 1980s. Gruenbaum 1981 argued forcefully for an approach to policy that incorporated the state, colonialism, and class conflict into understanding the structural forces that produce health and illness. In the mid-1980s, applied anthropologists such as Carole Hill (Hill 1986) advocated for approaches to policy that were attentive to cultural difference, especially in the design and implementation of health programs. By the end of the 20th century, the impact of turning away from Primary Care for All policies and the embrace of structural adjustment was clear. Kim, et al. 2000 argued that economic progress was not reaching the poorest, whose health status had actually gotten worse. Growth did not inevitably lead to improved living conditions for all; instead, corporate-led growth led to growing inequality. Foreshadowing the current concern with metrics in global health, Kim and colleagues stressed the importance of not assessing the success of global health by looking only at aggregate indicators since these can mask inequality across and between regions. Castro and Singer 2004 analyzed the ways in which health policies actually contributed to worsening health outcomes, rather than to lessening inequality and strengthening health systems. Rylko Bauer and Farmer 2002, an influential call to study the marketization of medicine, has now largely been heeded with a rich body of medical anthropology looking at structural adjustment, insurance, the commodification of health care, and market ideologies. Pfeiffer and Chapman 2010 offers a compelling synthesis of the evidence against structural adjustment policies. Failures of international projects to improve the human condition through humanitarian efforts, economic development, and science, prompted anthropologists to critically assess humanitarian projects and policies as seen in the edited volume Feldman and Ticktin 2010. More recent works in the anthropology of health policy build on earlier approaches to investigate how national health programs rooted in insurance play out in the lives of providers and patients. Mulligan and Castañeda 2018 illuminates how the Affordable Care Act has had contradictory effects in the United States, increasing some forms of inequality and exclusion even while 20 million people gained access to insurance coverage. Around the world, insurance schemes are being implemented and imagined as a new solution to the old problem of health system strengthening and expanding access to biomedical care as seen in work by Dao and Nichter 2015.
Castro, Arachu, and Merrill Singer. 2004. Unhealthy health policy: A critical anthropological examination. Lanham, MD: AltaMira Press.
This expansive edited volume contains multiple case studies of health policy. The authors attribute the failure of health policies to generate positive outcomes to the "trilogy of fear, ideology, and geopolitics" (p. xv) that often displace concern with well-being. The book's three sections discuss how international organizations create and implement health policies; national health policies re-inscribe social exclusions; and policies shape biomedicine.
Dao, Amy, and Mark Nichter. 2015. The social life of health insurance in low- to middle-income countries: An anthropological research agenda. Medical Anthropology Quarterly 30.1: 122–143.
Argues that anthropologists should pay more attention to insurance and health care financing in low- and middle-income countries, especially since insurance is now the primary vehicle for expanding access to health services. Reviews experiences in Thailand, Vietnam, and Rwanda. Finds that insurance does not always ameliorate inequality; individuals left with significant financial exposure; and issues remain around sustainability and the strength of institutions. The authors suggest areas for future research.
Eisenburg, Merrill. 2011. Medical anthropology and public policy. In A companion to medical anthropology. Edited by Merrill Singer and Pamela I. Erickson, 93–116. Malden, MA: John Wiley & Sons.
Drawing from policy studies and public health, creates a framework for applied medical anthropology involvement in policy processes, especially at local and state levels. Provides a history of policy focused work in medical anthropology (begins in 1976 with an article by George Foster) and offers advice to anthropologists who would like to impact policy processes. Argues against an approach to policy that is confined to studying policymaking processes.
Feldman, I., and M. Ticktin, eds. 2010. In the name of humanity: The government of threat and care. Durham, NC: Duke Univ. Press.
This volume explores the effects of carrying out governance in the name of humanity. Through case studies of humanitarian interventions, biomedical research, pharmaceutical policy, and environmental regulation, the authors show that intervening for the benefit of humanity has contradictory effects. Biomedical health research and humanitarian programs can exploit the health care naive; leave out those who appear insufficiently motivated to pursue treatment; and foreground scientific success over patient experience.
Gruenbaum, Ellen. 1981. Medical anthropology, health policy and the state: A case study of Sudan. Policy Studies Review 1.1: 47–65.
Urged anthropologists to focus more on economics and policy (rather than just culture). Sociocultural emphasis and micro-level studies fail to apprehend the production of health through broader social formations. To effectively contribute to policy, anthropologists need a robust theory of the state that incorporates class conflict. Attributed poor health indicators in Sudan to colonial intervention, export-based economic development, and class conflict within the colonial and postcolonial state.
Hill, Carole E., ed. 1986. Current health policy issues and alternatives: An applied social science perspective. Southern Anthropological Society Proceedings (Book 19). Athens, GA: Univ. of Georgia Press.
Hill and colleagues address health policy from an anthropological, or what the authors refer to as an "applied social science," perspective. Each article in the volume offers concrete recommendations for addressing policy issues. Topics include the cultural context of policy, how policy is made, and the role of anthropologists in creating more culturally appropriate health policy. Examples discussed from the United States, Costa Rico, Mexico, China, and Micronesia.
Kim, Jim Yong, Joyce V. Millen, Alec Irwin, and John Gershman. 2000. Dying for growth: Global inequality and the health of the poor. Monroe, ME: Common Courage Press.
Interdisciplinary work (clinicians, economists, anthropologists, philosophers, political scientists, and historians). Expansive overview of the problems of economic growth leading to immiseration and falling health indicators for the world's one billion people without access to clean water or sufficient food. Case studies from Peru, Guatemala, Cuba, and the United States demonstrate that focusing on macroeconomic indicators like growth can obscure the suffering and inequality experienced by the poor.
Mulligan, Jessica, and Heide Castañeda. 2018. Unequal coverage: The experience of health care reform in the United States. New York: New York Univ. Press.
Edited volume that explores the experiences of individuals in the United States who sought insurance coverage in the wake of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act of 2010. Found that access to the law's benefits were highly stratified by place of residence, income, and immigration status. Collects the work of multiple ethnographers studying the implementation of a health policy.
Pfeiffer, J., and R. Chapman. 2010. Anthropological perspectives on structural adjustment and public health. Annual Review of Anthropology 39:149–165.
Structural adjustment policies promulgated by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund required the downsizing of state bureaucracies including ministries of health, controls on inflation, deregulation, and opening up to foreign capital. This review article synthesizes thirty years of anthropological research into the impacts of structural adjustment on low income countries and finds that the results have been catastrophic for the health outcomes of the poor.
Rylko Bauer, Barbara, and Paul Farmer. 2002. Managed care or managed inequality? A call for critiques of market-based medicine. Medical Anthropology Quarterly 16.4: 476–502.
An impassioned critique of the role of profit and costs in guiding the organization and distribution of medical care in the United States, and increasingly abroad. Calls on anthropologists to study marketization more closely as an ideology and also in practice and especially to be attentive to the ways in which managed care and other market-based approaches to health policy reinforce inequalities of race, class, and gender.

Morrissey kicks off 10-night Hollywood residency in style
NME Oct 2, 2007 7:45 pm BST
He gives loyal fans a taste of new album
Morrissey played the first of a 10-night stint at the Hollywood Palladium that will close down the legendary Los Angeles venue for extensive renovations.
Moz, who will perform nine more show at the Palladium running through next week, treated a crowd filled with adoring fans to songs that spanned his career.
In addition to playing classic Smiths tracks including 'How Soon Is Now' and 'Stretch Out And Wait', he previewed two new songs from his forthcoming album: 'That's How People Grow Up' and 'One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell', which featured a blaring trumpet section.
Throughout his 90-minute set, Morrissey handed his microphone to audience members, and at one point invited them to engage him in a question-and-answer session.
One fan asked the singer why he enjoyed playing for Southern California audiences so much, to which he responded, "Isn't it obvious?" He then played 'London' and added at the end of the song, "There's your answer."
Morrissey seemed to enjoy himself in the relaxed setting, and his all-male backing band adeptly kept the pace on The Smiths songs and Morrissey's solo material.
The crowd often sang along and waved lighters and mobile phones in the air, screaming loudly when Morrissey tore off his sweat-drenched shirt and threw it into the audience — twice.
Morrissey and his band concluded the evening by emerging onto the stage wearing matching football uniforms for a one-song encore of 'Irish Blood, English Heart'.
Morrissey played:
'Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before
'Tomorrow
'All You Need is Me'
'Sister, I'm A Poet'
'That's How People Grow Up'
'London'
'Billy Budd'
'The Loop'
'Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself'
'Stretch Out And Wait'
'First Of The Gang To Die'
'Let Me Kiss You'
'Death Of A Disco Dancer'
'Disappointed'
'You Have Killed Me'
'In The Future When All's Well'
'I Like You'
'One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell'
'Dear God, Please Help Me'
How Soon Is Now?'
'Irish Blood, English Heart'

There are 3 skill sets in this industry - development, design and product.
These skills exist in every attempt to build software. They exist in Google, and Facebook, and Intuit, and small dev shops. It's useful to recognise skills as falling into one of the three buckets, because then you know what to optimise for.
Development is the simplest to understand. Programmers write code while building software. Most of the software produced today is complex and demand coordination between different programmers, and sometimes different teams. So at the higher levels of this skill tree, development includes skills necessary to coordinate between many programmers.
Design is also relatively easy to understand. Interfaces can be easy or difficult to use. A good interface designer is able to come up with user interaction flows that make sense to the user. Often, designers are the ones who have a first stab at a feature, because asking a programmer to design the UI for a feature is a Really Bad Idea.
Software companies hire less designers than they do developers. It's normal to have 1 designer for a team of 5 or more programmers. Often, the configuration of teams in software companies is one designer attached to every team. So the iOS team has one designer, and the Android team has another designer, and so on.
Some designers are able to code. The Django team built their web framework with the assumption that their designers would be able to write simple HTML and complex CSS. Other designers use tools like Sketch, due to its ability to export assets for direct use by the developers.
At the higher levels of this skill tree, designers are able to do A/B tests, user interviews and are able to set tone via a design language, for the entire company. It's no accident that Facebook uses the same shade of blue and the same icon style everywhere, for instance.
The last skill set is harder to explain. It is also the rarest in Asia. "Product" is the skillset that glues together developers, designers and business concerns in a given product.
Product managers operate in between the core concerns of a product. Have you ever seen a building where the developers kept adding wings and extensions and towers, all in slightly different styles? The building eventually becomes ugly and unwieldy. The same goes for products. Product managers prevent this from happening.
It would take a whole blog post to describe what a PM does, so I'll leave you with this one, possibly the best I've seen on the topic: The Product Management Triangle. Dan Schmidt does an incredible job describing the challenges and tensions of the role, and why it's tricky to define the PM's workload.
The upshot of this is that you have the 3 basic roles that are directly involved with building a modern digital product. What role you'd like to take would be defined by these silos, and it should be a useful tool to evaluate the skills that you are learning today, for the job description you want tomorrow.

Q: Get truncked data from a table - postgresSQL I want to get truncked data over the last month. My time is in unix timestamps and I need to get data from last 30 days for each specific day.
The data is in the following form:
{
"id":"648637",
"exchange_name":"BYBIT",
"exchange_icon_url":"https://cryptowisdom.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Bybit-colored-logo.png",
"trade_time":"1675262081986",
"price_in_quote_asset":23057.5,
"price_in_usd":1,
"trade_value":60180.075,
"base_asset_icon":"https://assets.coingecko.com/coins/images/1/large/bitcoin.png?1547033579",
"qty":2.61,
"quoteqty":60180.075,
"is_buyer_maker":true,
"pair":"BTCUSDT",
"base_asset_trade":"BTC",
"quote_asset_trade":"USDT"
}

I need to truncate data based on trade_time
How do I write the query?

A: The secret sauce is the date_trunc function, which takes a timestamp with time zone and truncates it to a specific precision (hour, day, week, etc). You can then group based on this value.
In your case we need to convert these unix timestamps javascript style timestamps to timestamp with time zone first, which we can do with to_timestamp, but it's still a fairly simple query.
SELECT
    date_trunc('day', to_timestamp(trade_time / 1000.0)),
    COUNT(1)
FROM pings_raw
GROUP BY date_trunc('day', to_timestamp(trade_time / 1000.0))

Another approach would be to leave everything as numbers, which might be marginally faster, though I find it less readable
SELECT
    (trade_time/(1000*60*60*24))::int * (1000*60*60*24),
    COUNT(1)
FROM pings_raw
GROUP BY (trade_time/(1000*60*60*24))::int
