Crosses of Holy Cross
Holy Cross Paraments
Sanctuary Stained Glass and Book Stand
Scripture Readings
Parament or Paraments come from the Latin word paramentum, adornment, which in turn is derived from parare, to prepare or equip). The terms refer to the liturgical hangings on and around the altar/Communion table and pulpit and lectern. The terms vestments refers to liturgical clothing worn by clergy and other leaders. A pastor or other leader may, for instance, wear a stole, a symbol of one's ordination, which corresponds to the colors in the paraments.
The paraments change to reflect the liturgical season or season of the church year. The liturgical calendar begins with the season of Advent, the four Sundays before Christmas and progress through the year remembering events in the life of Jesus and other holy days and seasons.
The colors used for paraments have symbolic meaning and the cloths may be adorned with particular symbols as well. Most of the paraments of Holy Cross have been created by fabric artists and purchased through religious supply companies, while the paraments for the Lenten season have been hand-crafted by Holy Cross members.
A unified system of colors in the Christian tradition developed only gradually and haphazardly until and through the Middle Ages. Today, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) provides a system of colors for use by its congregations, which is, for the most part, also used by other Christian churches in the United States and by many churches around the world. Other cultures may attribute different symbolic meaning to colors, however.
Blue is associated with Advent, suggesting hope. Some congregations use purple or violet in Advent, a color associated with royalty as the church awaits the newborn king.
The Holy Cross Advent cloth features a crown in accordance with this image for Jesus as king. The cross is formed by the Greek letters tau (T) and rho (P) which together is also called a staurogram, an abbreviation for stauros, the Greek word for cross.
The purple of Advent has a different symbolic meaning than when it is used in Lent. (see 'Lent').
White, calling to mind the purity of the newborn Christ, and to our light and joy in him. Gold is another primary color during Christmas.
The letters in gold above the brown cross on the Holy Cross parament are the Greek letters chi (Χ) and rho (Ρ), the first two letters of Greek Khristos, Christ.
The letters alpha (Α) and omega (Ω), the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, recall the phrase "I am the alpha and omega" and signal that God or Jesus is the beginning and the end or present at creation and throughout time.
White is used for Christmas Eve and Day and the Christmas season, the Transfiguration of Jesus, Easter and the Easter Season, Trinity Sunday, All Saints Day, and Christ the King Sunday.
This purple parament was hand-crafted by Holy Cross members.
When Holy Cross needed new Lent paraments, members Lauren Lindstrom and Diane Tory designed and made the purple parament.
Most of the cloth came from donations to the quilt group.
Fat quarters of cloth, which had been hand-dyed by women in Africa,.were purchased from a fair trade organization.
When the quilt group gathered in the sanctuary to view the completed cloth on the table, they "found" the crosses in the parament, which Diane later outlined with black cord to highlight them.
A a matching pastor's stole and pulpit cloth completes the Lenten set of paraments.
Day of Pentecost
Red as the color of fire is used on this day when we remember the tongues of fire descended on the crowd in Jerusalem. In contrast to the color of scarlet, Pentecost's red is a bright color.
Purple is the preferred color as this is the first day of Lent. Purple is typically associated with Lent, suggesting repentance and solemnity. Historically, black has also been used on this day, since it is the color of the ashes to which we will all return. For Ash Wednesday 2017 at Holy Cross the table was bare, which is in keeping with the simplicity of the season.
Sunday of the Passion
Scarlet is the preferred color of this first day of Holy Week, as it suggests the deep color of blood.
Scarlet is to be distinguished from the brighter color of red, which is appointed for the Day of Pentecost and certain church celebrations like a pastor's ordination or installation.
If a parish does not have scarlet (Holy Cross does not), purple may be used.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
Scarlet or purple may be used
The fourth day celebrates the institution of the Lord's Supper.
Scarlet or white is used.
No vestments or paraments are used on this day, after the stripping of the altar on Maundy Thursday night.
Green Ordinary
Green is the color for the season known as "Ordinary Time" or, as we are in right now, the Season after Pentecost, the longest particular season of the church year.
Ordinary Time or Time after Epiphany and Time after Pentecost:
Green is used during these two particular times during the church year and symbolizes growth in Christ. The word ordinary comes from the word ordinal and is used in this sense to mean counted time rather than "common" or "mundane." (In math an ordinal number is first, second, third, and so on.) To count Sundays during this season, we say, for instance, "The fourth Sunday after Pentecost."
The green Holy Cross parament features the cup, grapes, and bread of Communion and a lit candle.
Counted time after Pentecost always begins with Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday after Pentecost) and ends with Christ the King Sunday or the Reign of Christ the King (last Sunday before the beginning of Advent).
Luther Rose Banner
This banner created by Nellie Namestka which depicts the Luther Rose is displayed on the niche wall at the front entrance to the fellowship hall. The most enduring symbol of the Lutheran Reformation is the seal that Luther himself designed to represent his theology. By the early 1520s, this seal begins to appear on the title page of Luther's works.
The black cross symbolizes Jesus' death and pain and reminds us that it is faith in the Crucified One that saves us.
"For one who believes from the heart will be justified" – Romans 10:10.
The Heart remains its natural color because even though the cross is black, it does not kill our hearts, it doesn't destroy nature, it does not kill us but keeps us alive,
"The just shall live by faith in the Crucified One"
Romans 1:17.
The white rose shows that faith gives joy, comfort, and peace—it puts the believer into a white, joyous rose.
Faith in Jesus brings true joy, consolation and peace, not worldly joy and peace"
White is the color of the spirits and angels
cf. Matthew 28:3; John 20:12
The sky-blue field symbolizes our hope for the coming joys of heaven. Future joy, which begins now, but is grasped in hope, not yet fully revealed.
Around the field of blue is a golden ring to symbolize that blessedness in heaven lasts forever and has no end. Heavenly blessedness is exquisite, beyond all joy and better than any possessions, just as gold is the most valuable and precious metal.


The alternator included with the Chevy Performance kit is a 145-amp DR44 unit that should have no problem powering any of our off-road electronic toys. The alternator installation is a piece of cake. Just set it atop the bracket and torque the two mounting bolts to 41 lb-ft.


A new state-of-the-art CT scanner is to be provided at Forth Valley Royal Hospital as part of a five year capital plan to improve healthcare premises and replace medical equipment across NHS Forth Valley.
Other equipment such as ultrasound scanners, defibrillators and blood pressure monitors which enable results to be sent directly to a patient's electronic record will also be purchased over the next year along with new beds for community hospitals.
In addition, work will be undertaken to improve outpatient facilities at Stirling Community Hospital and build a new healthcare centre in Doune. These plans form part of an ongoing programme to maintain and improve primary care, hospital and health centre facilities across Forth Valley.
NHS Forth Valley's Head of Medical Physics, Bryan Hynd said: "The new CT scanner will be able to produce high resolution pictures of any organ in a few seconds and provide sharp, clear, 3D images, including detailed views of blood vessels, in an instant. It will not only be suitable for routine diagnostic work but also more complex examinations including oncology, musculoskeletal and cardiac imaging.

Child Visitation Guidelines
Learn about child visitation laws and get the answer to common concerns moms and dads might deal with after separation or divorce.
How Does a Custody Order Affect a Parent's Visitation Rights?
Legal custody identifies which moms and dad (or parents) can make decisions concerning the kid's welfare. Physical custody determines where the child will primarily live and which moms and dad will take care of the kid on a day-to-day basis.
The court can award sole custody to one or both moms and dads. Common types of custody arrangements might include:
sole legal and sole physical custody
joint legal and sole physical custody, and
joint legal and joint physical custody.
The court encourages parents to work together to create a custody plan that works for everyone in the family. You understand your family vibrant better than a judge. If moms and dads can't concur, the court will begin a custody examination to identify what arrangement remains in the kid's benefit.
What Is Visitation?
The judge will award visitation rights to the other (noncustodial) parent and the child if the court awards sole physical custody to one parent. In almost every state, the law presumes that it remains in the child's best interest to have a meaningful and continuing relationship with both moms and dads. Additionally, the law acknowledges that visitation with each parent is a kid's right. Missing extraordinary circumstances, the court will award a noncustodial moms and dad visitation with the kid. The court may award sensible, monitored, or unsupervised visitation.
Reasonable Visitation
When a judge orders "affordable visitation," the custody order won't spell out each parent's time with the child. Instead, it's up to the moms and dads to decide a suitable schedule for visits. What constitutes "sensible visitation" differs from case to case and state to state.
If one moms and dad receives "reasonable visitation" in a custody order, the celebrations will have a lot of freedom in identifying what's reasonable, including times, dates, and frequency of visitation. Nevertheless, a visitation order without a set visitation schedule can be unforeseeable and, sometimes, bothersome.
One moms and dad's affordable visitation might be periodic day gos to for an infant kid, with rare overnights. In cases including older kids, a noncustodial moms and dad (moms and dad without main physical custody) may have longer visits that involve overnights.
You ought to only consist of reasonable visitation in your custody order if you and the kid's other moms and dad can communicate well and do not have outstanding issues with each other. If you can't settle on when you and the child need to spend time together, the courts will accept the custodial parent till the court orders otherwise. To put it simply, if you and your ex-partner don't settle on the weekends or vacations you'll get to invest with your kid, you'll need to submit a formal motion asking the court to decide for you.
Monitored Visitation
Judges reserve supervised visitation for cases where the court discovers that it's not in the child's best interest to hang around alone with the kid. Courts will provide a specific schedule for the noncustodial moms and dad, where that moms and dad will hang out with the child at a court-sanctioned facility with an authorized third-party manager. Sometimes, the judge will allow the households to pick a supervisor, like pals or family members. The moms and dad and child can visit at the member of the family's house or another approved location.
If scenarios call for it, the court takes a noncustodial parent's right to time with a child very seriously and will just limit a moms and dad's time with the child. If a moms and dad has a history of drug or alcohol abuse, the court might require the moms and dad to take a drug test prior to seeing the kid.
Supervised visitation isn't constantly long-term. Judges may put conditions in the custody order for the noncustodial parent to satisfy prior to moving on to without supervision visitation. Missing any specific conditions, the parent can likewise ask for an official evaluation by the court.
Unsupervised Visitation
The most typical kind of visitation in the custody order, not being watched visitation implies that a moms and dad will hang out alone with the kid, consisting of overnight sees. Generally, the court will develop a specific schedule for the moms and dads and kid to follow. Unlike affordable parenting time, if the custodial parent declines to follow the court-ordered schedule, the noncustodial parent can request enforcement from the court.
How Does the Court Establish Visitation?
The most convenient method for the court to develop visitation is for the parents to accept the type, frequency, and duration of visitation in between the noncustodial parent and the child. When moms and dads can't agree, the court will examine what's finest for the child. While the majority of states use "benefit elements" in deciding custody, some states refer to parenting time or visitation guidelines when creating a visitation order.
In Michigan, the law requires the judge to assess particular "parenting time" factors to figure out each case's finest visitation order. Laws § 722.27 a.) Each state's treatment for visitation differs.
What Is a Visitation Set up and Why Do You Want One?
Unless both parents agree to affordable visitation (or the court orders it), the judge will create a particular visitation schedule within the custody order. Due to the fact that the terms consisted of in the order are non-negotiable, Visitation schedules get rid of unneeded fighting or court filings between parents. In other words, if a custodial parent declines to allow visitation between the noncustodial parent and child, the moms and dad can ask the court for enforcement.
While each case differs, each visitation schedule specific visitation schedules are detailed and include the following details:
where the child will reside
which moms and dad has visitation, consisting of the days and times
where the kid will invest holidays, birthdays, and summer season holidays
cosmetics parenting time provisions (including a late policy, which is generally 30 minutes).
transport requirements, consisting of which moms and dad is responsible for bringing the child to and from visitation, and.
any other arrangement the judge discovers required to prevent future problems with the moms and dads.
A common visitation schedule might consist of rotating weekend overnight visits, alternating school breaks and holidays, and extended visitation over summer holidays. The contents of your specific schedule will differ depending upon your case.
How Do I Modify a Visitation Order?
Regardless of where you live, courts favor all children's stability, so changing custody or visitation needs parents to make a case in court. As with all custody-related matters, if you and the other moms and dad accept alter the regards to visitation and it's not harmful to the kid, the court will embrace the brand-new contract and put it into a new order. If you can't concur, you'll have to ask the court to examine and alter the order.
The requirements essential to alter visitation are frequently easier than changing custody, but that doesn't imply the court will instantly agree to alter your order. The requirements differ from state-to-state, however many courts require the moms and dad asking for an adjustment to show that there's been a change in circumstances and that the order no longer serves the kid's benefit.
You'll require to file a formal demand with the court if you're interested in altering the visitation order.
Visitation FAQS.
What does "affordable visitation" suggest?
Affordable visitation means that a moms and dad has visitation with a kid, however the court does not dictate the schedule's specifics. Parents will be totally free to establish the terms that work for the family. The disadvantage of a "affordable" schedule is that a noncustodial parent often does not have the teeth to argue if the other moms and dad declines visitation for any factor.
What is a set visitation schedule?
Most custody orders lead to a fixed visitation schedule. As the name implies, there's not a great deal of space for analysis if a judge orders a fixed visitation schedule in your case.
The benefits of thoroughly drafted, fixed visitation schedules are that they leave really little space for argument. With all of the information covered in the arrangement, you and your child's parent will understand exactly when and where your child custody check outs will occur and can prepare appropriately.
My ex-spouse was physically abusive to the kids and me. How can abuse be avoided during check outs with the kids?
When deciding custody, a judge will consider either spouse's history of domestic violence. Normally, if the court discovers a history of abuse, a judge can include in your custody order specific defenses aimed at preventing future violence or abuse.
For instance, a judge will typically buy monitored gos to in between the violent parent and child to ensure the kid's safety throughout gos to. The goal of monitored check outs is to make sure that the violent parent is not left alone with the kid. In other cases, a court may purchase gradual sees between a moms and dad and kid till a judge feels confident that the kid is safe in the parent's care.
Are grandparents entitled to visitation?
All 50 states acknowledge some type of grandparent visitation. Each state's laws differ in terms of what's required for a grandparent to establish visits. Specifically, some state laws only permit a grandparent to look for visitation in the most severe situations, such as if one or both of the child's moms and dads have actually died. Other state rules are much more lenient and enable judges to purchase grandparent visitation as long it serves a kid's best interests.
If you're identified to limit your kid's time with a grandparent, be prepared to make your case for why continued visitation would not serve your kid's benefits.
What should I do if my grandchild's parent wants to limit my visitation?
As a grandparent, your rights are generally secondary to a moms and dad's. In some states, a grandparent can't seek court-ordered sees unless the kid's moms and dad is deceased or incarcerated. Other states permit a grandparent to look for court-ordered visitation when the sees would serve a child's benefits, and the lack of visitation would hurt the child.
Grandparents can ask a court to step in and require sees however dealing straight with the child's moms and dad might assist your relationship more in the long run. A court will not sign off on your arrangement unless it serves the child's best interests.
Does a court need to decide our visitation schedule, or can the other moms and dad and I make the schedule?
Parents are encouraged to send their own parenting plans or proposed visitation schedules. You are far more familiar than a judge with your household's dynamics and needs, and judges typically defer to parents to make the schedule that works finest for their kids.
The most typical type of visitation in the custody order, not being watched visitation suggests that a moms and dad will spend time alone with the kid, consisting of over night sees. The most convenient way for the court to develop visitation is for the parents to concur to the type, frequency, and duration of visitation between the noncustodial parent and the kid. Unless both parents concur to sensible visitation (or the court orders it), the judge will develop a particular visitation schedule within the custody order. In other words, if a custodial parent declines to enable visitation between the noncustodial moms and dad and child, the parent can ask the court for enforcement.
Affordable visitation means that a moms and dad has actually visitation with a child, but the court doesn't determine the schedule's specifics.

A new accelerator report suggests that independent work is most effective
Connie Loizos	@Cookie / 6 years
Today, a $2.3 million private-public partnership called the Global Accelerator Learning Initiative (GALI) is releasing its first major report, in collaboration with Village Capital, a seed-stage accelerator that operates development programs for early-stage entrepreneurs around the world.
Led by the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE), the goal of GALI is to determine how effective accelerator programs really are and how to develop best practices in different regions, given there are roughly 500 now dotting the globe.
In fact, one of the biggest questions it is trying to address is whether accelerators work as well for developing-world entrepreneurs as they do for those in the developed world.
In ways, it's a little soon to be releasing anything. GALI, whose new report examines 15 Village Capital programs, is just nine months in the making. Though it's an interesting data set — the report examines the performance of entrepreneurs who were enrolled in those Village Capital programs from 2013 to 2014 against those who applied but were not accepted — it's a very limited one.
Still, it claims to see some signals that might help entrepreneurs who are weighing whether or where to join an accelerator. For one thing, it says that participants in the Village Capital program saw outside investment that dwarfed those of rejected entrepreneurs — by eight times.
In a call last week, Randall Kempner, the executive director of ANDE, said researchers weren't yet sure if that disparity owes to better entrepreneurs being accepted by Village Capital; by entrepreneurs creating better companies because of their learnings at Village Capital; or whether by working with Village Capital, the entrepreneurs enjoyed a halo effect from its brand, thus making it easier to attract outside funding.
The report also finds some interesting programmatic differences between the highest versus the lowest-performing Village Capital programs, including that the highest-performing programs emphasized more time for independent work. Specifically, says the report, the percentage of time spent working on-site or remotely with other entrepreneurs or mentors in the program (versus time when the founders work on their own) was 53 percent of the time for the highest-performing program, versus 83 percent for the low-performing programs.
In another potentially interesting twist, the report says that Village Capital's highest-performing programs spent less time working on finance, accounting, and formal business plan development and more time on presentation and communication skills, networking, and organization structure and design, suggesting it makes sense to spend more time on softer skills.
The reports' authors acknowledge that the study they're releasing today is far from conclusive. In fact, it features as many predictions as it does findings.
But certainly, its effort is worth watching. As explains Saurabh Lall, research director at ANDE and one of the report's lead authors, "There's been a tremendous proliferation of accelerators and incubators around the world, but while exciting, we're concerned that we don't have a good sense of whether they do a good job at supporting entrepreneurs in emerging markets. From our perspective, [this work] intends to help us answer: do they work, under which circumstances, and which programs are more likely to work for certain entrepreneurial segments."
"We want to be truth tellers," adds Kempner. "There hasn't been nearly enough research done in this space, so a lot of people can say a lot of things that may or may not be true. We think we'll eventually have enough information that we will."
For much more, you can view both an executive summary as well as the full report right here.

In Fluid City, Kim Dovey uses the case of Melbourne, Australia, to examine the powerful and increasingly fluid forces that have dramatically transformed urban waterfronts around the world in recent decades. Dovey considers how global flows of capital, changes in planning and regulation processes, new uses of design imagery, and the evolving quality of the spatial experience combine to reshape urban environments. In so doing, he makes an important contribution to an understanding of how cities are redeveloped today.
The strength of this book lies in the extraordinarily comprehensive and detailed case study that pulls together many threads including planning, architecture, design, finance, and politics, in practice and theory, over a twenty-year period. Through intertwining narratives, Fluid City tells a very good story about how large-scale waterfront redevelopment occurs over a long time frame. Finally, Dovey succeeds in his goal of presenting a broad and multidisciplinary view of waterfront redevelopment that blends theory and practice.

Ancient Beauty Rituals
Now reading: Ancient Beauty Rituals
For many of us, our skincare regimen may be something we take for granted. It's such a staple part of our routine that we may not have stopped to consider where these regimens started. Your daily beauty routine probably dates back thousands of years, and incorporates ancient rituals from cultures around the world. Our skin needs these ancient rituals and ingredients now more than ever with today's high levels of environmental stressors and pollution. Because ingredients found in nature were the only option in those days, rather than chemicals, the majority of ancient beauty rituals are completely safe and natural. Luckily for us, these ancient beauty rituals have made their way into modern day skincare. And while those in ancient cultures could only use ingredients available in their regions, our globalized world provides us the benefit of so many diverse ingredients being available to us. At Sonäge, we keep ancient beauty rituals in mind and source only the best ingredients that have been used for centuries. Those who created ancient rituals knew a thing or two about beauty, and today people are increasingly concerned about the ingredients they use on their skin - which is why it's important to go back and re-visit the ancient cultures who gave us these beauty traditions. Tap into the beauty secrets of the past by discovering Sonäge's modern skincare science, using the healing powers of mother nature. One of today's most coveted moisturizing oils, Argan oil was an important trade item in the Mediterranean area. It was especially helpful to ease dry skin during hot, and dry Mediterranean summers. Argan oil is also packed with antioxidants, fatty acids and Vitamin E - believed to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Because of Argan Oil's moisturizing and anti-aging benefits, it was also used in ancient Japanese culture for centuries as an aid in facial massage - another anti-aging beauty secret. In combination with a blend of other essential oils in our Vitality Nourishing Facial Oil, it can provide intense hydration and radiance. Ayurveda is the science of life and ancient healing, it's also India's 5,000 year old holistic health care system. It focuses on preventative care to promote optimal health by aligning the mind, body and spirit with the universe. Ayurveda comes with many ancient skincare rituals. The ancient Indians were known for dry brushing their skin for exfoliation and lymphatic stimulation, which results in an all around glow. They also believed that when it came to ingredients, if you couldn't eat it, it didn't belong on your skin. Similar to our thoughts at Sonäge - Beauty, like food, should be a health choice. ™ Ayurvedic skincare was, and still is, derived from the most nutritious herbs and oils available. Herbs like Neem, Tulsi and Turmeric were incorporated into masks and creams - turmeric primarily for its antiseptic properties making it ideal for healing and repairing skin for a luminous glow. Our newest mask that we're still buzzing about, Tulsi Soothing Tri Clay Mask, primarily embodies the principles and ingredients of Ayurvedic skincare rituals. A calming blend of three rich mineral clays containing Ayurvedic healing herbs, works to reduce excess oil, maintain a smooth, fresh complexion while harnessing the ancient Indian science of self-healing. There's no better form of self care. The ancient Egyptians are known for being pioneers of beauty, from exotic jewelry and hairstyles to makeup rituals including dark eyeliner and lip colors - they owned the original cat eye. In fact, makeup application was so important to them that it was used as a way to honor their gods and goddesses. Aside from makeup, Egyptians focused on skincare by utilizing moisturizing emollients including Shea butter and Almond oil to protect themselves from a dry, desert climate. It's been found that they used over 21 different vegetable oils for a range of beauty purposes. Our Lumenez Vitamin Rich Creme was formulated with these ancient rituals in mind, packed with moisturizing emollients to create a rich, restorative moisturizer that provides hydration and a long-lasting glow. One of the most notable figures in ancient Egyptian beauty rituals is Cleopatra. Cleopatra left behind legacies of beauty rituals. Aside from utilizing the Almond oil that was praised by the Egyptians, she also incorporated Apple Cider vinegar into her anti-aging routine, which is often used in DIY masks to tighten the skin. One of her favorite beauty rituals was bathing in milk to keep her skin soft and using Rose water for its ability to serve as a very delicate astringent. Our Hydrating Rinse incorporates both and can be used as a toner for refreshed skin with a subtle aroma. Utilizing a variety of ingredients and aromas, Romans were known for their bathing rituals and opulent bath houses. Inspiring many popular facials of today that incorporate extraction, they utilized steam therapy to purify the skin and metal tools to scrape dirt and sweat from the body. The ancient Greek introduced the wonders of Olive oil to today's beauty rituals. Originating from the sacred wild Olive tree of ancient Greece, Olive oil was used in anti-aging preparations. It was used to protect the skin from the environment and was used in face masks to promote a clear complexion. Today, Olive oil is still widely praised and utilized in a variety of skincare products. We've made it a key component of one of our favorite anti-aging creams, Biosyl Peptide Booster for moisturizing the skin and stimulating skin rejuvenation. Alongside olive oil, Biosyl also touts Pumpkin Seed oil, which was praised by the ancient Greek for softening the skin and helping to maintain a youthful glow with its high Vitamin E content. It runs in the same league as the ever praised coconut oil, but as Fall approaches it can be even more beneficial to improve skin texture.

Q: How to construct geographies from WKTs I am using a SQL Server 2012 database. I have noticed that geometries and geographies interpret WKTs differently. For instance, if I construct a square polygon, clockwise:
DECLARE @geom Geometry=geometry::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((-30 -45, -30 45, 30 45, 30 -45, -30 -45))', 4326)
DECLARE @geog Geography=geography::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((-30 -45, -30 45, 30 45, 30 -45, -30 -45))', 4326)

The geometry will be interpreted (as intended) as the original square (inwards):

But the geography will be interpreted as the complement of the square (outwards):

Is this standard (and can you find a reference to why this is so)? And if so, how is it possible to construct a geography from a WKT?

A: This is not a "complement of the square", just a great circle route.  It's a
feature of the GEOGRAPHY type to compute great circle routes on the spheroid.
You can read more about it here. The only way to follow a parallel would
be to use an insane number of vertices between the meridians.

Q: What is the best way to get all my categories in my mongodb collection of posts I am working on a blog application using Express, MongoDB, and React. I'm definitely more comfortable working with a relational DB, but I want to be more comfortable in document based DB so here I am.
I have a post collection in its current state looks like this:
[
    {
        "id": "001",
        "category": "fishing",
        "title": "jigs",
        "body": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetu"
    },
    {
        "id": "002",
        "category": "cooking",
        "title": "tuna casserole",
        "body": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur"
    },
...]

when you go to url/posts you'll get all the posts when you go to url/posts/cooking you get cooking of course.
When I was working on the front end with stubbed data I was making a categories list from a json file like so:
const uniqueCategories = [
    ...new Set(props.posts.map((post) => post.category)),
];

However, I'm fetching my posts by category like so:
useEffect(() => {
    async function fetchPosts() {
        fetch(`api/posts/${category}`)
            .then((res) => res.json())
            .then(
                (result) => {
                    setPosts(result);
                    console.log('result', result);
                }
            );
    }
    fetchPosts();
}, [category]);

I haven't implemented the all categories yet, but it doesn't matter. Right now, if I get cooking category, my uniqueCategories func above will only be mapping cooking
So the question is. What is the best way to architect this?
Should I have a categories collection? In the posts collection, should I reference an id of categories collection?
Or is there a better way?

A: It really depends on your application and its queries.
Option 1
If you only want to get all posts category, you can just index your category and use distinct method. The cons of this is you can't add additional field for the category, for example the category description.
Code example:
db.posts.createIndex({ category: 1 }); // create index for category field

db.posts.distinct("category") // ["fishing", "cooking"]

Option 2
Create category collection:
{
   _id: "fishing",
   ...
}

You don't need to use MongoDB default ObjectId as the _id, since the category name will be unique, you can just set the category name as the _id, this also allows you to get posts category name without doing any additional lookup. With this option, you can add additional field for the category, for example:
{
   _id: "fishing",
   name: "Fishing",
   description: "Category for all of the fishing lovers!"
}

Then on your post collection, you can just use the category _id as the category value
{
  "id": "001",
  "category": "fishing",
  "title": "jigs",
  "body": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetu"
},

And if you want to get list of category, you can just query to category collection instead.

74-Year-Old Man Found Alive In D.C. Senior Complex 5 Days After Fire
Magic 95.9 Featured Video

A 74-year-old man was found alive inside his fire-damaged apartment five days after the D.C. senior complex he lived in caught fire. The Seattle Times reports that days before his rescue District officials announced that all building residents had been accounted for following the blaze.
According to the Seattle Times, Raymond Holton, was found after engineers assessing the structural integrity of the building heard him yelling. They used a crowbar to open the door to his second floor apartment and found him sitting on a couch. Holton did not have serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
"I wasn't scared. I be here by myself anyway," Holton said in a telephone interview from the hospital. "I thought they forgot about me. I didn't know about no fire."
After Holton was found on Monday, firefighters and federal agents with dogs searched the building again and said they found no one else inside, reports the Times.
Mayor Muriel Bowser, and Fire Chief Gregory Dean reportedly blamed the building's management company, which they said provided the city with an inaccurate report that all residents were safe.
The Times reports, officials said they did not want to unnecessarily send firefighters into a building deemed in danger of collapse. "The building was considered unstable and we weren't missing anybody," Dean explained.
Officials at Edgewood Management, based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, reportedly did not return calls for comment.

"If there is to be hope for the preservation of our natural world and its rich biodiversity then the interdependencies developed between plants and animals and their responses to geological and atmospheric changes and human activity must be understood"
Some areas of the Atlantic Forest have been designated by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve because of their outstanding biological distinctiveness. Others, equally distinctive, beautiful and rich in species diversity and endemism, are still unprotected.
Until interrupted by human encroachment, continuous areas of forest extended for thousand of miles, linking the Great Araucaria Forest of Southern Brazil to the Amazon jungle. Many plants and animals have evolved travelling throughout the tropical and temperate zones of the New World. This flow is essential to maintaining the rich gene pool and species diversity of the area. The fragmentation of these forests places many species, including some existing only there, under critical threat of extinction.
Over the past two years, independent filmmaker Sergio Rossetti Morosini has captured over fifty hours of footage of the physical beauty of the Atlantic Forest, its Fauna and Flora, specially its critically endangered species.
"making them known," he hopes, "may give them a better chance of being saved"
Through a series of interviews, he has recorded invaluable reports on ongoing scientific research, objective testimonies of the conflicts, activities and questions being generated around the rebuilding of the so called Corridors of Biodiversity, that may one day reconnect the remains of the great forest.

St. Alphonsus Parishioners Live Their Faith by Committing to Building New Church in Guatemala
At the Archdiocese of Milwaukee's web site there's a graphic link to the Living Our Faith evangelization initiative, and its home page links include examples of how living our faith means to teach, inspire, and serve. This was the first example of service, from November 29, 2007.
What began 12 years ago as a youth ministry project at St. Alphonsus Parish, Greendale, has now grown to a parish-wide initiative to build a new church for residents of Xecoil, Guatemala.
Just in case you were ever told that mission is not about building churches. Here's an earlier post from the visit to Xecoil, and an earlier post about the fund drive.
Formal approval was given at a November parish council meeting at which the Xecoil project was discussed, along with the archdiocesan Living Our Faith initiative.
Of the three current Archdiocesan initiatives, Faith In Our Future was fundraising. Now the evangalization initiative, Living Our Faith, turns into fundraising. Next, I suppose, the Vision: 21st Century Planning initiative will turn into fundraising.
There has been an abundance of ideas to generate financial support for the Xecoil project.
Including, in Youth Ministry, substituting it for the usual project, financing two new homes for people in Central America or the Caribbean through Food for the Poor. I'm skeptical that there's an evangelization, or community-building, benefit from yet another fund drive at our parish that outweighs making these "Third World" people wait for their church and their houses.

In today's world women are facing a major crisis. And that crisis manifests as hormonal burnout, adrenal fatigue, stress, anxiety and weight gain. Have you experienced this?
The underlying cause of these symptoms is even more insidious. And that's a deep sense of a lack of self worth. Today, women are stressed. They are doing the brunt of the work in a relationship or family as well as holding down a job themselves. And they are trying to be everything to everyone which is leading to burn-out.
The key lies in transformation. A woman must evolve from the Dharma type of Laborer to that of Merchant. See, it is a Merchant type that knows her true worth.
Take Marilyn Monroe, for a simple example. Marilyn Monroe knew her value, at least in her public persona. And she wasn't afraid to project that. She abided in the state of 'I am worthy of the best'. Her child-like innocence said, 'I'm precious, just because'. Now that doesn't mean you have to scheme to get what you want. You should know it in your bones that you deserve it all.
No one will give you your worth and see you as the goddess you are until you see yourself that way first.
Taking a bath sends a message to yourself and those around you that you are worth this time. Give your family the gift of missing you. They'll appreciate you more for it.
Taking some 'me' time also sends your body the message, 'This is okay, you can relax. You are safe'. When your body is in stress mode and you are in a rush, this shuts off your youth hormones. Your skin begins to sag. You begin to put on weight. Your digestion shuts down, so your metabolism suffers. You feel ragged and rundown which feeds into the anxiety, depression and stress.
So the first step is to put on the break and say no. And if a bath is not your thing, do Ayurvedic self-massage and then take a warm hot shower. Whatever it is that you do, give yourself 30 minutes, 3 times a week. And make it an event, a feast for your senses. So your body gets the message you are safe and the rejuvenation hormones get turned on.
Learn how to breathe into the deep lower lobes of your lungs. This activates your parasympathetic nervous system, your relaxation, 'I am safe' response. Normally people are breathing shallow breaths which contributes to a state of paranoia and sends the message 'I'm not safe', 'I need to survive right now'. So learn how to breathe deeply so your body and mind are relaxed.
If you're eating big macs and chips, you're sending the message to your body that you're worth $1.99. Treat yourself to quality, not quantity in your diet.
Everything in nature is curvilinear. Nature moves in curves, and women are the embodiment of nature. Dance and sacred movements like yoga, flamenco, hula, kathak emulate the movement of nature. These are sacred forms of movement that have you move your hips which gets you in touch with your core. And this is highly empowering for women.
Spend time with women who have the wisdom to guide you and fill in the blanks for you. Cultivate a sacred society. They don't have to be your friends, they can be mentors.
This is not necessarily for everyone, but this is a huge step for some. Stimulants like caffeine and chocolate supposedly give you energy but what they really do is rob you of your deep sensual, physical vitality.
Spiritual tradition means, getting in touch with the silent part of you. And this happens after you breathe deeply. So learn to meditate and set aside time every day to do that.
If you're a man reading this, understand that more than the words you say or the gifts you give, appreciating the value, the wisdom and the blessings that the women in your life are custodians of, does more than anything else to create harmonious relationships. And then, the compliments you give and the gifts you give, will give you more than anything you've ever dreamed of.

Often It's Your Supplier's Supplier That You Have to Worry About
ChainLink Research
The vast majority of respondents (nearly 80 percent) do not manage risks beyond their immediate first tier suppliers, says a ChainLink Research survey. Instead, they rely on their immediate suppliers to manage those risks. The Japanese tsunami highlighted the risks in that approach and the importance of being aware of the impacts across multiple tiers of the supply chain.
Many companies were impacted not by their immediate suppliers, but by their suppliers' suppliers or by secondary effects of the tsunami. For example, Japan makes over 60 percent of the world's supply of silicon wafers used in manufacturing semiconductors. A worldwide shortage is predicted due to many wafer plants being shut down. If you are a high-tech, automotive or medical device manufacturer, you don't buy from these sources directly, but will very likely be impacted. In another example, 70 percent of the world's supply of aluminum electrolytic capacitors comes from Japan. These are used in a wide variety of applications such as filtering power supply outputs, motor start capacitors, audio applications, energy discharge, photoflash, and strobe applications. Industrial manufacturers, camera and cell phone makers, and many others may be impacted by those shortages, even though they do not buy those capacitors directly.
It is risky to rely solely on your suppliers to deal with those shortages. Often times, suppliers are reluctant to be forthcoming with bad news, as they scramble and hold out hope that they will find alternative sources. By the time their situation becomes fully clear, it is too late. Having an understanding of the complete supply chain can be advantageous. You are in a position to know where there is capacity and constraint, and which suppliers are in a position to secure that limited output. This gives you a clearer picture of the true risks for your immediate suppliers, as well as an understanding of which alternate sources might have access to the limited supply. Then you can pursue those specific alternate sources more vigorously.

Long before Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor started crafting scores for The Social Network, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl alongside Atticus Ross, he was asked to put together a soundtrack for Oliver Stone's controversial, surrealist media critique Natural Born Killers. It's been years since the project was available on vinyl, so reissue hub Music on Vinyl has revealed plans to put the platter back in print.
The repress is due December 14 as a double LP in a gatefold sleeve featuring artwork from the 1994 film. The the first 2,000 copies being served up on Mick- and Mallory-approved "blood red vinyl." Though CD and cassette copies arrived just ahead of the film's theatrical release, the only other wax pressing of the Reznor-curated OST was delivered in 1999 through Simply Vinyl.
While the soundtrack featured new exclusive songs like Nine Inch Nails' "Burn," it also blended in older songs from Leonard Cohen, Patsy Cline, Cowboy Junkies and Dr. Dre, as well as clips from the movie. "Born Bad" modifies a bluesy a cappella performance in the film from Juliette Lewis, who played killer Mallory Knox, by adding background music.
Back in the '90s, Reznor had explained to MTV of his sprawling soundscape: "I suggested to Oliver [Stone] to try to turn the soundtrack into a collage-of-sound, kind of the way the movie used music: make edits, add dialog, and make it something interesting, rather than a bunch of previously released music."
You'll find the soundtrack details down below.

Synthesis, characterization and antioxidant activities of dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of new Schiff bases derived from substituted benzophenones
Kaya, Yeliz
Ercag, Ayse
Kaya, Kerem
Five novel ONS donor Schiff base ligands were synthesized by the reaction of 2-hydroxybenzophenone (L1), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (L2), 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone (L3), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-4-methylbenzophenone (L4), and 2-hydroxy-4-allyloxybenzophenone (L5) with thiocarbohydrazide. Neutral solvate dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with the general formula [MoO2L(ROH)], [C1-C5] (L=L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and R=CH3, C2H5, or C4H9), were prepared from these Schiff bases. Characterization of all compounds was carried out by means of elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, H-1-NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (for L1, C2, and C4) techniques. The crystal structures of ligand (L5) and complex (C1) were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Spectroscopic data and X-ray diffraction studies confirmed that the ligand is coordinated to the cis-MoO22+ core through ONS, while the sixth coordination site is occupied by solvent (ROH). The ligands and complexes were tested for in vitro antioxidant capacities. The TEAC coefficients of the ligands and complexes were found higher than reference compound. DPPH radical scavenging activities of these compounds were also investigated.

I Samuel 3:1-9 inaugurates Samuel as a prophet of the Lord. What an exciting occurrence--a vision at a time when visions of the Lord were rare! One would expect such an auspicious event to be heralded by both Samuel and Eli's celebration. But, ironically, the event passes almost unrecognized by God's new prophet or by his ailing teacher. What happened? How could they miss God? How could Samuel mistake God's voice for Eli's? In verse seven, the text informs the reader that Samuel did not yet know the Lord. So, sadly, Samuel hears the voice but does not recognize his creator. In other words, in a society where children are not valued as gifts of God with their own agency and ability to hear from the Lord, why would they be taught to hear God for themselves? Both Samuel and Eli find themselves confused by the experience, because Samuel has not yet been given permission to hear God for himself.
In verse 2, we are told that Eli is ailing. With failing vision, he cannot see God as clearly as he might have during the height of his ministry. Although Eli could not see it, God had already called his student, Samuel, to lead Israel. With neither army nor political office, Samuel would join the tradition of prophets who would anoint and depose kings, such as Saul and David. Samuel's word would send Israel to war, prophesy God's vision, and admonish rulers to repent and return to the ways of the Lord. Today, black families, communities, and civic organizations find themselves plagued by ailing leadership who still have much to teach, but have not taught a younger generation to hear from the Lord for themselves. Thankfully, it took Eli only three attempts to recognize God's voice. The omniscient narrator heightens the reader's frustration by clueing the reader in to the identity of the voice before Eli identifies its source. Finally, Eli realizes the gift that God had given to Samuel.
Many black children live in a world where their gifts go unrecognized or live lives where their gifts are rejected. Black communities are replete with sad anecdotes of brilliant young kids, whose intellectual prowess surpasses fortune 500 CEOs, but who grow up to build empires in the drug trade because no one received and nurtured their gifts. Worse, when families and communities fail to recognize and cultivate their children's gifts, others may do so for their own purposes. Black communities were late in claiming hip-hop as a worthy and legitimate music expression of black youth. Within a few years of hip-hop's inception, the larger music industry exploited the creative energy of black youth for profit rather than cultivating God's gift in them. For years, the market consumed the production of images and lyrics that degraded young people, only exacerbating the pathology in black communities.
However, God has not left our youth in silence or darkness. God persisted in the darkness of Samuel's room until Samuel recognized God's voice. Just as Samuel finally recognized God's voice, God persists until we listen. God is still speaking to black children and youth and they are responding in marvelous ways.
In 1969, Weldon Irvine and Nina Simone collaborated to tell us that we must learn to teach our young that they are "Young, Gifted and Black . . . and that's a fact!" Each one is endowed with agency, a calling, and a particular connection to the Creator. Our responsibility is to teach them to be available to God, and then to receive from them the good thing that God has for humanity.
When we empower children by ensuring that they have healthcare and housing, quality education and safe environments, then they will hear a word from the Lord and heal our land! When we teach our children to be available to God, they will imagine themselves in the image of their Creator, not in the images developed by market-driven mass media. On that day, when no child is hungry or alone, naked or unloved, when each one has what she needs to respond, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening," then the blessings of the Lord will be revealed among us.
Sounds: An old man snoring; a voice piercing the darkness; Samuel, awakened abruptly, running toward Eli's room, an annoyed Eli instructing Samuel to return to bed (vv. 4,6); and Samuel asking the Lord to speak as he listened (v. 10).

How Did Republicans Become a Cult of Trump?
This guy does not mince words.Boris Roessler/DPA via ZUMA
Bret Stephens writes today:
We are in the midst of an unprecedented national catastrophe. The catastrophe is not the pandemic, or an economic depression, or killer cops, or looted cities, or racial inequities. These are all too precedented. What's unprecedented is that never before have we been led by a man who so completely inverts the spirit of Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. With malice toward all; with charity for none: eight words that encapsulate everything this president is, does and stands for.
….And at a moment when many Americans, particularly conservatives, are aghast at the outbursts of looting and rioting that have come in the wake of peaceful protests, we have a president who wants to replace rule of law with rule by the gun. If Trump now faces a revolt by the Pentagon's civilian and military leadership (both current and former) against his desire to deploy active-duty troops in American cities, it's because his words continue to drain whatever is left of his credibility as commander in chief.
I don't think this is enough, and that's not meant as any kind of gotcha. The bigger question is: what kind of party, or ideological movement, ends up nominating a person like this? And not just nominating, but nominating by a landslide against a perfectly competent and ordinary set of conservative opponents. Trump won the nomination with a pure grassroots campaign, during which he lied, insulted people, made up juvenile nicknames, displayed epic ignorance, and just generally acted the buffoon. His supporters knew exactly what they were getting, and they got it.
So what has the Republican Party—Bret's party—been doing that led it to this point? And what will it do to avoid a repeat in the future? This requires some introspection and some interrogation. It's not enough to say that Trump is a catastrophe. Anyone who can pour piss out of a boot knows that. But what brought Republicans to this awful point? That's the more important question.¹
¹And please don't try to pin the blame on awful Democratic candidates forcing you to vote Republican even if you have to hold your nose. I'm talking about the primary campaign here.


We have a graduating senior, identified as an unaccompanied youth during his senior year, who has outstanding fees for books, etc. They were incurred prior to his homelessness. These fees may prevent him from "walking" at graduation. Can we consider these fees a "barrier" to graduation and advocate for them to be waived?
Answer: Yes, the McKinney-Vento Act would cover this situation. Specifically, McKinney-Vento requires SEAs and LEAs to develop, review, and revise policies to remove barriers to the identification, enrollment, and retention of homeless students in school, including barriers due to fees, fines, and absences. 42 U.S.C. §(g)(1)(I). Even though the fees were incurred prior to homelessness, they now are acting as a barrier to the student's "enrollment." The law defines enrollment as "attending classes and participating fully in school activities," and graduation is a school activity. Therefore, barriers to participating in graduation caused by fees must be removed. This might be waiving the fee, or using McKinney-Vento or other funds to pay the fee. But the barrier must be removed.

نوع الموقع الاثرى : Mosque
عنوان الموقع الاثرى : Hay al Gomrok
مواعيد الزيارة : Not Found
اسعار التذاكر : Not Found
This mosque was built by order of haji Ibrahim Ibn Al-haji Obeid Al-Maghraby whose noble origin known by Terbana in 1097 H\1685 AD, he was one of the great and rich merchants of Alexandria.
The mosque is built on the local Ottoman style in Egypt, which is known by Delta Style and from the name it is clear that this style spread in the architecture of the mosques of Northern Egypt. The mosque follows the design of hanging mosques, it consists of two floors; the ground floor contains 12 stores, public fountain, and a storage used as small café, in addition to bathrooms and a wheel that was providing the mosque with water from its cistern. The first floor was used for prayer; it has four façades overlooking the surrounded streets. The main façade (the southwestern one) overlooksFaransa Street, and it has the main entrance. On the top of this recess, there is the foundation tablet of the mosque (tablet no 5), it says" in the name of Allah the most gracious and merciful- The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah- this mosque was built by haji Ibrahim Terbana in 1097" and beside "in the name of Allah" on the top there is the signature" made by Eysa".
On this façade and at the level of the first floor, there are semi-circular arches with rectangular windows inside. Above the windows there are lantern windows covered with wooden lattice work, and all this is surrounded by a band of Islamic decorations and motives.
At the top of the façade, there are floral crestings, there is a stair in this entrance leads to a landing topped by the minaret. At the opposite side there is another stair that leads to the side entrance of the mosque. This minaret is the oldest of the remaining minarets in Alexandria.
The prayer Iwan takes the rectangular shape and is divided into five porticos by four arcadesparallel to the Qibla wall. These arcadescarry a block ceiling decorated with multicolored floral and geometrical decorations. At the back portico there is the speaking platform and at the middle of theQibla wall there is a concave Mihrab (prayer niche) arched with pointed arch, the Mihrab and the Qibla wall are covered with faience tiles decorated with multicolored floral and geometrical decorations.
