Matthew 9:18-26 records the astonishing miracle of Jesus raising a synagogue ruler's daughter from the dead. Mark's account tells us that the ruler's name was Jairus and that the girl was 12 years old (Mark 5:22, 42). The power and willingness of Jesus to intervene and change people's lives when all seems hopeless is one of the things that makes me glad to be a gospel preacher. I never have to wonder if Jesus is willing or able to intervene in the lives of people who have nowhere else to turn. When sin or heartache or disappointment or grief have buried us, Jesus stands ready and able to raise us up.
Matthew 9:19 records an interesting statement. After Jairus came and requested Jesus to come and raise his dead daughter, the text says simply, "So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples." That verse of Scripture contains a powerful thought. We most often think of Jesus inviting us to follow Him, as in Luke 9:23 where He said, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Following Jesus is not difficult for me to imagine. Jesus is love and truth and servanthood personified. The values and lifestyle He calls us to live out are the highest known to man and have blessed human society for 2000 years. And the eternal reward He offers those who choose to follow Him is literally out of this world! It is difficult to understand why anyone would refuse Jesus' invitation to follow Him. But Matthew 9:19 challenges us from a different perspective. At Jairus' request, Jesus arose without hesitation and followed him!
Would Jesus follow me?! Could Jesus follow me and still be an example to others? Would Jesus follow my example in attendance, or would He accuse me of forsaking the assembly on Sunday and Wednesday night? Would Jesus follow my example in giving, or would He say what I am giving back to the Lord is a pitiful reflection of what the Lord is giving to me? Would Jesus follow my example in Christian living, or would He accuse me of walking in the grey instead of walking in the light? Would Jesus follow my example in serving and involvement, or would He accuse me of burying my talent?
Millions claim to be following Jesus. A penetrating question is, would Jesus follow you?

Q: JS & Bootstrap - output doesn't work Does someone know how to make a right output in a browser using JS and bootstrap? The input can't be saved in H5 within form class. It doesn't work with bootstrap, but with pure HTML and JS, it works, that's why I am asking for help. Thanks in advance.

function myFunction() {
    let input = document.getElementById('input');
    let output = document.getElementById('output');
    output.innerHTML = input.value;

A: Two possible issues.

*

*Change the button type="submit" to button type ="button" or add event.preventDefault() inside the function myFunction

*It is not clear what chance.min.js is doing or whether it is dependent on jquery/bootstrap. It is better to reorder the script files

A: I changed your button type from submit to button. This way the form does not get submitted which would change the current page... You could also use event.preventDefault() in your handler, where event is the first parameter...

    let input = document.getElementById('input');

CNA Certification requires that the prospective Certified Nursing Assistants either enroll in a class that gives the proper CNA training to perform all the Certified Nursing Assistant duties, or the prospective health care professionals can work in medical institutions, such as hospitals and nursing homes where they will be granted practical CNA training that provides them all the nursing knowledge and medical skills needed to successfully pass the CNA Certification test. The requirements for CNA Certification are different for the different states of the USA, but all do require that the prospective Certified Nursing Assistants need to pass a state CNA Certification test that is usually given by a RN (Registered Nurse) who specializes in testing prospective CNA's medical and nursing knowledge of every single aspect of working as a Certified Nurse Assistant.
There are CNA Classes available, that take only two weeks to be completed, but these types of classes only provide basic knowledge of the Certified Nurse Assistant job. Because of the nature of this career, the skills level improve when the nursing assistant starts to provide actual caregiving and gain more confidence and expertise, so practical classes are very important part of the CNA training that grant excellent results on the state CNA Certification exam.
It is advisable for the prospective Certified Nursing Assistants to attend CNA training classes that lasts at least a month. These types of CNA training programs provide the minimum skills and knowledge to successfully pass the state CNA Certification test. There are a lot of CNA Training programs online but it is better to attend local offline CNA classes.
CNA training classes provided by local colleges or institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes provide complete CNA training programs that consists of two parts, written and clinical. These types of training programs prepare the prospective Certified Nursing Assistants perfectly for the CNA Certification test because they provide complete set of knowledge and skills needed to perform the duties of a Certified Nursing Assistant.
In the classroom courses, prospective Certified Nursing Assistants are trained how to manage all personal care for the patient, including taking vital signs, give bed baths and transfer patient in a safe manner, along with the policies and regulations a Certified Nursing Assistant must adhere to after certification. The first part of the CNA Training in extremely helpful to pass the CNA Certification test and the prospective certified nursing assistants are taught by an instructor who is usually a registered nurse (RN). Certified Nurse Assistants are taught medical abbreviations, the standard values for some tests, how to watch for patient's signs of serious illness and how to prepare reports.
In the second part of the CNA Training, the prospective Certified Nursing Assistants perform clinical work in medical institutions. This gives them the mandatory expertise needed to take care of patients in a personal and professional way after certification. These practical classes will educate the prospective Certified Nurse Assistants how to prepare reports to the nurses and doctors in charge, do planning, study to bath, take part in feeding patients that are temporary or permanently disabled, and learn to take those that are not to the dining area. During these CNA classes the prospective Certified Nurse Assistants work on different floors of the medical facility, which also prepares them for their CNA Certification test. Prospective Certified Nurse Assistants are introduced to patients that are suffering from Dementia and having many problems that being older in age lead to, and these type of CNA training prepares them not only to successfully complete the state CNA Certification test but also to be great professionals in their field.
Successful CNA Certification leads to a morally and financially rewarding CNA career, career that is for many health care professionals a life mission rather than just a job. CNA certification is also a great way to start a medical career and good starting point to become a LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurses) or RNs (Registered Nurses).

My 1986 Chevy pickup stalled at a traffic light. Gas gauge went to empty but I know there is gas. It has power but is not getting gas to engine to turn over. Is it the fuel pump or some electronic piece?
That sounds like a bad fuel pump but you need to first verify power and ground arriving at the pump. The connectors are pretty notorious for bad connections too.
Remember, it only powers for 2 seconds when the key is turned on or when the computer sees a tach signal from cranking.
Correct me if wrong but is this a carb or injected?
Fuel pump for carbed engines on engine itself - I didn't see anyone list the engine or what for this truck,??
Depends on where the vehicle was sold! I owned a carbed GM 350 NEW! 1989! We don't even have a model of engine size on this thing??
The engine size doesn't matter. There were no carb options on any factory engine for 86.
If it has a carb, it was modified and probably still has an electric pump.
S. America, Aus, and Mexico broke all rules. They still make an air cooled VW Bug not sold to the USA. Mexico still makes R-12 new so we need to know and it wasn't metntioned.
No harm - I think your are exactly correct that all 1985 and newer GM trucks are injected, ??
Kitty has about had it for the day!
Overwhelming odds are you are totally correct. Somehow I've run into some wild exceptions??
You really need to check your facts before you post.
It might have been a simple error, by the looks of the screen that is ALLDATA. That is the wrong vehicle selected. In 1986 the engine code was not R for a 350! The "R" engine code is the 5.7 Vortec. Gm did not use the Vortec in 1986! GM did have carburetors in 1986. I have a 1986 Chevy Silverado with a carburetor! It came from the factory that way. They did put carburetors on intill 1987. That was the first year for fuel injetion on the K5 and the trucks.
Yes, I am a ASE Certifed GM Tech.
So the point of going thru the forum & nitpicking old posts is ??????????????????????
Everyone makes mistakes, I'm sure you do to. I'm sure you could find a boatload of mine I didn't dot I's & cross T's.
Here is the correct vehicle selection from alldatapro.com!!!!! They were carburetored in 1986. So my facts are correct!!!!
Guests - Please pick a user name and sign in. Archived info can be totally wrong thru any source. There was a code "L" and "M" 5.7 that was carbed. Orig Guest's post came thru a USA provider and it would be very rare but if it has a carb and you know it from new than it does. A listing below shows that only 1% were carbed 5.7s!
No fighting about honest errors please and this info may be wrong too??


Location: 51° 4' 7", -1° 10' 57"
The Environment Agency are part of the Defra Group who aim to protect and improve the environment. Locally, our commitment to improving our rivers led to the development of the Test & Itchen River Restoration Strategy which identified measures to improve the physical condition of the rivers. In this, the Tichborne Stream was identified as requiring significant improvement measures to restore the SSSI/SAC and bring it into favourable condition. At the same time, the Trustees of the Tichborne Estate expressed a desire to remove silt from an on-line lake within the grounds of Tichborne Park. The lake falls within the River Itchen Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Subsequently, Aquascience Ltd, a company specialised in river restoration, produced an appraisal of the proposal to remove silt to investigate whether there were opportunities to benefit the SSSI features of the site. Aquascience's investigations quickly recognised that the lake was a dominant component in the SSSIs unfavourable status. Their recommendations were to investigate the removal of impoundments and restoration of the chalk stream channel thus providing an opportunity to create a sustainable landscape with improved ecology which would rectify the issues identified as causing the unfavourable status of the SSSI.
•	Reconnecting the river with the floodplain and wider landscape.
With this in mind Aquascience were employed to design a scheme which reinstated the river channel to a natural course in the flood plain, utilising relict channels wherever possible. The designs 'off-lined' the lake converting it to fen meadow and reed-swamp, two habitats which are features of the SSSI. The designs excluded any form of water level management structures and sought an outcome which would function as naturally as possible within this environment. One fixed impoundment and two adjustable sluices were removed. Overall, within the site 825m of channel were either reinstated, created or were enhanced with restored gradient and/or increased flows. In addition, a further 640m of channel were preserved as backwater features with connection to the main channel. The project was delivered in Spring 2017. This involved significant movements of excavated materials on site, many of which were used to partially fill the lake to create fen meadow. Material movements were undertaken using a mono-rail system and tracked dumpers working on bog mats. These measures ensured minimal impact on the terrestrial SSSI features. Trial holes had identified that a deposit of angular gravel was present throughout the project area at the desired elevation, thus relict features were simply excavated within their perceived planform down to the existing gravel. Sediment mobilisation was carefully managed throughout the delivery using a combination of managing flows within site channels, sediment barriers and the pumping of turbid waters onto flood meadows. Plant rich sward was stockpiled and used in the final stages of the project to instate characteristic plant material to the new channel banks and the fen meadow constructed within the lake. Channel profile and dimensions were designed after locating suitable reference sites up and downstream. However, the excavator operators were encouraged to be somewhat creative in the execution in order to create physical diversity in channel size and bank gradients.
Aquascience is a small company specialising in river, lake and wetland creation, restoration and management. Previous notable projects have included the Heritage Lottery funded (HLF) Itchen Navigation Heritage Trail Project and the urban river restoration project, Market Harborough on behalf of the River Welland Rivers Trust. Their role was to carry out an options appraisal, feasibility assessment and creation of subsequent detailed designs for the preferred option. They were also the principal contractor for the project. They have been involved at every stage of the project. Natural England were integral in the development of the project through the development of the Test & Itchen River restoration Strategy. They were a key partner in fulfilling the obligations to improve the condition of the SSSIs which is a fundamental objective of the England Biodiversity Strategy. Trustees of the Tichborne Estate and the landowners, Anthony and Catherine Louden oversaw the entire construction phase of the project. They contributed extensively to the options appraisal and development of the designs. Their vision for the site was evident and their commitment to the project was cemented with their substantial financial contribution to the works.
The first visit to Tichborne occurred in January 2014 shortly after Aquascience had been asked to look at the lake with a view to removing silt. The Tichborne Lake and River Restoration Feasibility Study was finalised in March 2014. The Tichborne River Restoration Design Rationale was finalised in April 2014 The process of compiling detailed designs was undertaken in the Spring of 2016 after which the applications for the Environmental Permit and Planning Permission were submitted. The project was delivered between the end February and June 2017.
Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.
One of the main objectives of the project was to deliver on the actions identified in the Test & Itchen Strategy. One action was to restore the stretch through weir removal to restore natural function. This has been achieved. Our objectives to restore natural chalk stream characteristics, remove obstacles, reduce/eliminate the need for human intervention and reconnecting the river within the floodplain are clearly demonstrable. The impounding structure and associated sluices have been removed and a characteristic gradient and sediment transport has been restored. The lake sediments have been off-lined from the channel system removing the potential phosphate enrichment of the downstream watercourse.
The final objective was to maximise the physical and ecological diversity. Fish surveys, invertebrate and crayfish monitoring have been carried out along with HABSCORE surveys which were conducted in order to monitor the physical habitat and track the changes that will occur as the channel becomes more established over time.
Jonathan Cox has provided information for the appropriate assessment and an assessment of the SSSI and the protected species. We also had an extended phase 1 Ecological Appraisal carried out by the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust (HIWWT). Prior to this project this section of the Cheriton Stream had been heavily modified leaving a legacy of impoverished channels, a silt filled lake and a river that was disconnected from its flood plain. Please see the current site plan and proposed site plan drawings attached with this application. A significant achievement was met when the owners of Tichborne Park agreed to a significant landscape change to the park surrounding their grade II listed home. The lake had become a burdensome feature that would require significant resources to maintain. Once the agreement of the owners had been secured the designers and stakeholders of this scheme commenced with designs that aimed to restore a naturally functioning river channel. Some constraints existed, perhaps the most significant being the owners request that the river flowed close to the house to compensate for the loss of the lake. This entailed a diversion away from the natural path of the river for a small section of the project area. In all other areas channels were either created, reinstated or restored so that a natural path was achieved. Surveys have revealed a site now dominated by wild brown trout with eel, lamprey, bullhead and stickleback also present. Invertebrate monitoring has shown an abundance of gammarus, mayfly, stonefly and caddisfly to name a few.
Cloudbase Aerial Art, a specialist aerial media company, have successfully taken extensive before and after photographs through the use of drones.
Edit project overview to modify the lessons learnt.
An early challenge for this project was to influence the owners to agree to a major landscape change within the Grade 2 listed site. This was achieved by presenting to them the advantages of creating a natural and sustainable river system and the abandonment of an unsustainable and ecologically impoverished ornamental lake. Lesson learnt - engage early with the landowner.
The planning process added approximately 6 months to the project. We did not foresee the challenges made during this process nor the length of time it would take to bring the process to a close. Conditions imposed added time and costs to the project.
Funding presented a challenge as is always the case with restoration projects. Funding was sourced from the EA, NE and the Trustees of the Tichborne Estate.
The ornamental moat previously relied on an outflow from the lake. This project incorporated a major restoration of the moat to isolate it from the Cheriton Stream. The heritage and ecological requirements were dealt with by engaging suitably qualified consultants so that the designs were suitable to achieve the necessary permits and permissions.

This year, the Ways With Words festival brings together an eclectic mix of over 150 writers, poets, actors, politicians and broadcasters to give talks, debate, perform and inspire.
Some of my own personal heros are on in the morning – here's the schedule.
What will life be like when oil is in short supply? How will it affect our daily lives, our homes, jobs and families? What can we do to prepare for the changes ahead?
This vital issue will be addressed by a variety of speakers who are working to ensure a gentle transition to new ways of living.
The morning will be led by Rob Hopkins, director of the Transition Network.
A film and talk on the inspirational work being done all over the world by the Transition Network, why it is important that as individuals and communities we address now the issues around a diminishing oil supply.
The four possible ways of approaching the twin problems of climate change and peak oil are considered, from the head-in-the-sand approach of many governments to pro-active strategies for a peaceful transition to a society less dependent on oil.
Hear about the exciting initiatives taking place in the UK to create resilient food supplies locally and reduce our dependency on food from far away.
And after lunch, it's me and there are some other smashers in the line up for the rest of the day.

So if you're one of the very few people that actually checks this site, you might have noticed a problem the past week: no site.
TL;DR version: Ever since the database crash in January, things haven't worked well. A series of cascades later, I FINALLY have an updated script and database, and hopefully things will work better!
What happened is back in January, my database suddenly dropped tables. I have no idea why. I didn't do it, so I'm not sure why the database suddenly lost most of the tables, but I had to redo it. Unfortunatly, the database wasn't backed up properly, and the only backup that worked was from a year ago. Yeah, not happy! But, because of the LJ crossposting, I was at least able to recover my posts (if not my drafts and ideas), so that was fine.
Ever since then, I've been having minor issues with my script. I tried updating, but there was a problem somewhere that was making the script stop updating the database, and I could never get it working. So I was stuck with an older version.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, and I started having trouble posting. I would get odd error messages and be unable to get anywhere. My questions on the forum still weren't answered, so I started trying to get answers for a work-around to upgrade. When my site completly broke, as in, the PHP script kept spitting out errors and not compiling correctly, my host switched me over the PHP5. That made things worse. I did install a clean version of the latest b2evo, and that worked perfectly fine. So I was in the process of moving all the posts to the backup install just in case, when I finally got a workaround for the upgrade. Unfortunatly, just as I had finished the upgrade, my host switched me back to PHP4. Which made the site blank. Several emails later, I got it switched back to PHP5, and as you can see, everything is working again!
I apologize for anyone that had issues or actually wanted to see anything here! Everything is in good shape right now, and will hopefully remain so. I will make an effort to backup the database myself every couple of weeks, so this hopefully won't happen again!

Davenport is a suburb in the Australian state of South Australia  located about  north of the state capital of Adelaide and about  north-east of the municipal seat in Port Augusta.

The suburb was created on 8 July 2014 on land excluded from the existing suburbs of Port Augusta and Wami Kata.  This followed a request from the Davenport Community Council, the organisation representing the aboriginal community residing there. It is located within the  cadastral unit of the  Hundred of Davenport.  The names of private roads and the numbering of property within the suburb were approved by the council meeting of the City of Port Augusta held on 27 October 2014.

Land in both the suburb and the adjoining suburb of Wami Kuta was associated with the Umeewarra Mission which was operated by the Open Brethren Assemblies of South Australia from 1937 to 1964  and whose main elements were a school and a home for children.  In 1964, the mission came under the control of the South Australian government.  At the same time, the area was renamed as the Davenport Reserve.  In 1968, the administration of the reserve was transferred to the Davenport Community Council.  The children's home closed in 1995 when its superintendent retired.

Land use within Davenport is residential, however planning regulations do  permit the establishment of facilities for recreation, "small scale light industry" and community use which  are consistent with the historical character of the community living within the suburb.  Davenport includes the Wami Kata Old Folks Home, an aged care facility, and the former Umeewarra  Mission building which as of 2014 was scheduled for demolition despite calls for its retention by former occupants.

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Davenport and an adjoining part of the suburb of Port Augusta shared a population of 163 people of whom 98.1% identify as being "Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people."

Davenport is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Stuart and the local government area of the City of Port Augusta.

Can you tell me how to get to Slaughterhouse Street?
Mulberry Street is one of the most important streets in New York City history, a central artery of immigrant life for almost two hundred years. Today its northern end is Bleecker Street, crossing Houston Street and heads all the way down to Bayard Street where it curves to the east (the so-called "Mulberry Bend") where it finishes on Worth Street.
It is one of the many current streets that still retain a bit of their original nature in their names — like Spring Street, for instance. In this case, that notable bend was once lined with mulberry trees. In 1764, near the Bend, a linen factory was built here on this once-lazy street and a market specifically for the sale of clothing materials. Sounds so lovely and clean, yes?
Well, Mulberry also happened to abut Collect Pond (or 'Fresh Water Pond') on its northeast shore, although the water here would not be considered 'fresh' for very much longer. It would become a magnet for all sorts of filthy industries including tanneries and rope-makers — and especially slaughterhouses. So many slaughterhouses, in fact, that Mulberry's first nickname was 'Slaughterhouse Street'.
An early 19th century butcher named Thomas De Voe lived in a cottage on Mulberry and Spring Streets. He described the street as "a very rough … road that passed along by several mulberry trees, which afterwards gave a name to the much-dreaded route." He makes mention of 25 or 30 such houses staked on or around Mulberry.
In particular, Nicolas Bayard's slaughterhouse was conveniently located here, near the pond (to dispose of waste) and near the Bull's Head Tavern up on the Bowery (to buy cattle from farmers).
Who knows exactly when we lost the mulberry trees but such nature would not be seen again. The pond was drained in the 1800s and the slaughterhouses soon escaped to the west side of Manhattan. The land that once adjoined Collect Pond was leveled for development. Unfortunately these initial properties, built upon swampy foundations, sank into the ground. Subsequent buildings — eventually the worst examples of tenements — were constructed here for poorer New Yorkers who could only afford these pathetic homes, their cellars perpetually flooded.

Within a decade, Mulberry would frame a neighborhood of grim notoriety, named for an intersection it would make with four other streets — Five Points.
Only when the most terrible of these structures were demolished and replaced with a park in the 1890s would trees finally return to Mulberry Bend.

4 Cuban women activists arrested on Capitol steps in Havana (UPDATED)
Four members of an anti-Castro group named after American civil rights icon Rosa Parks, were arrested Tuesday morning after they climbed the steps of the old Capitol building in Havana to demand that the Castro regime halts its repression of the Damas De Blanco.
The four members of the Rosa Parks Feminist Movement for Civil Rights are: Mercedes Evelyn García, Odalis Sanabria, Tania Maldonado Santos and Sara Martha Fonseca. The president of the group, Iris Tamara Perez Aguilera said police beat the women, threw them into patrol cars and drove them to State Security headquarters in Havana.
Perez called on the international community to demonstrate its solidarity with the activists, noting they were only protesting what has become the the regime's routine rough treatment of the Damas De Blanco -- which is made up of relatives of Cuban political prisoners -- in Havana and in Santiago de Cuba, as they try to attend church to pray for their imprisoned loved ones.
As of Tuesday night, there was no word on the whereabouts of the four detained activists.
Listen to Fonseca's account of the protest before she was arrested, here:
In the words of the protesters, "Down with the dictatorship," "We are all resistance" and "VIVA CUBA LIBRE!"
Here is a photo of the protest, via the Por ellevantamieno popular en Cuba website:
UPDATED, Aug. 25, 2011 -- The women have been released, and at least one of them, Sara Fonseca remains defiant.
This video includes footage of the women's protest, starting at about the 45-second mark (Note how some bystanders express their support for the demonstrators.):

Welcome to Throwback Thursdays on the Tor/Forge blog! Every other week, we're delving into our newsletter archives and sharing some of our favorite posts.
In the January 2012 Tor Newsletter, author Michael Flynn examined the problem of science and technology in far-future sci-fi. He decided, in his own words, "to put a banana in the tailpipe of the engine of progress," in order to make the world he created more recognizable to those of us here in the present. He explains how the world of his Spiral Arm series works in this blast from the past. Be sure to check back in every other week for more!
The problem with near-future science fiction is that the fiction is over-taken by events. My novel Firestar, recently re-issued by Tor, concerns the near "future" of 1999-2010 and the hot scoop is that things didn't work out that way. Some of it, sure, including, alas, the predicted recession. But Serbia is no longer the Bad Boy of the Balkans (nor are the Balkans the Place to Keep an Eye On) and we don't have regularly-scheduled ballistic transport or single-stage to orbit or… However, anyone who thinks the main basic function of SF is to commit journalism on the future will be perennially disappointed.
The problem with far-future science fiction, like the Spiral Arm series (In the Lion's Mouth, Jan 2012) is different. We can no more imagine the world of seven thousand years to come than Sumerian peasants could imagine Manhattan. But we need to keep it intelligible. What we imagine of the far future is no more likely to be accurate than Sumerian tales of crossing the sky in flaming chariots. Rockets, maybe; but not flaming chariots.
Yet "the accelerating pace of change" is such a cliché that we might ask, "What if it isn't? After all, for most of human history, change has been minimal. Our Sumerian peasant would find life among the today's Marsh Arabs full of wonders—iron tools!—but not incomprehensible.
So to keep the Spiral Arm intelligible to modern "Sumerians," I decided to put a banana in the tailpipe of the engine of progress. There is precedent.
Science and technology need not go hand in hand. China achieved a high technology without developing natural science. And scattered individuals in ancient Hellas and medieval Islam pursued a personal interest in natural philosophy without applying it to "base mechanics." Only in the Latin West did a passion for technological innovation develop alongside an institutionalized interest in investigating Nature.
The Scientific Revolution combined them. No more was Nature to be studied simply to grasp and appreciate its Beauty. Its purpose would henceforth be to invent Useful Stuff and extend man's Dominion over Nature. Science, in short, changed from Art Appreciation to Engineering.
Nothing like this happened in China, thought Joseph Needham, because the Chinese lacked a concept of the universe as a created artifact, and therefore had no expectation of a rational order waiting to be discovered. Other historians have linked the stillbirths of science to a persistent belief in the Great Year and "eternal returns." The ancients—Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Aztecs, Mayans, Hindus, et al.—extrapolated from the cycles of the sun, the seasons, the heavens to an endlessly repeating universe, destroyed and reborn whenever the planets returned to some "original" configuration.
But this belief proved fatal to science. If an eternal and uncreated universe repeats itself endlessly, then whatever can happen has happened, again and again, and the natural laws we discover are only transient configurations of particles eternally in motion. Wait a while. They'll change.
This is the outlook I superimposed on Spiral Arm society. Scientific progress stopped long ago. Techs apply "the Wisdom of the Ancients" by rote, recite the prayers (formulas) to be followed, but have lost all sense that these things are ordered by deeper principles.
Can it happen? The endless universe has been making a comeback courtesy of Hegel and his disciples: Schelling, Engels, Nietzsche, et al. Even scientists imagine multiverses and endlessly repeated Big Bangs. And—OMG!!!—the Mayan Long Count is ending!!!!
