![]() In the 1300s, the heretical reform sect of the Lollards in England cited priestly celibacy as a cause of homosexuality in society. The same condemnation against homosexuality is reiterated in penitential manuals and again by Saint Thomas Aquinas in the 1200s. Saint Hildegard of Bingen in the 1100s wrote against lesbian acts in her work Scivias. In the middle of the 1000’s you have Saint Peter Damian’s book Liber Gomorrhianus circulating with a crying condemnation of both homosexuality and masturbation among the clergy. Unfortunately for him, the Christian and liturgical norms never reveal the slightest tolerance for homosexual acts. There is ample evidence of homosexuality in the medieval era. Adelphopoesis or Affrèrement was Not Homoeroticīoswell’s analysis fails when we recall that both Catholic Europe and Orthodox Byzantium punished homosexuality with death (Byzantine codes of law call for convicted homosexual men to be burned). David and Jonathan or Sergius and Bacchus are “proof” that religious male friends were secret lovers between the pages of history. Regrettably, modern scholars feel that sexuality must be the incentive for any relationship in history. ![]() They are mentioned in the Greek liturgy of a delphopoesis, and Boswell argues that they were likely an early same-sex pair joined together in homoeroticism. These two men were known in Byzantine history to be holy men with a great brotherly affection for one another. To muddy the waters, same-sex marriage advocates have coupled Saint Sergius and Saint Bacchus as the patron saints of this alleged arrangement. Affrèrement allowed two men to share living quarters, pool their finances, and have recognition from the state and church as an economic unit. Adelphopoesis most certainly does not translate as “same-sex union.”Īlong the same lines, Allan Tulchin in his article “Same-Sex Couples Creating Households in Old Regime France: The Uses of the Affrèrement,” ( Journal of Modern History: September 2007) made his case that Latin liturgy of affrèrement (Latin title is Ordo ad fratres faciendum, literally “Order for the making of brothers”) was a medieval “same-sex union” recognized by Europe and the Church. You don’t have to be a great Greek scholar to get the agenda. Now Boswell translated adelphopoesis as “same-sex union,” and made the case that these were homosexual unions sanctioned by the Church. Adelphos means “brother.” Poesis means “making.” So the term in Greek literally means “brother-making.” Same Sex Marriage Liturgy = Adelphopoesis?īoswell’s argument hinges on the existence of a liturgical ritual called adelphopoiesis. This is the claim of the homosexual historian John Boswell in his book Same Sex Unions in Pre-Modern Europe (Chicago). ![]() Saint Sergius and Saint Bachus have been co-opted as Patrons of Same-Sex Marriage.

With the end of the lies of the old world comes the awakening of truth.” For those who have the willingness to allow our hearts to break, disrupt systems of violence, and let deep, authentic care guide our actions instead of fear and hate, here is a clarion call for becoming a spiritual warrior-a human refreshed, serving a vision of a world shaped by love. But what future will emerge to replace it? “There’s nothing like crisis to wake us up and force us to get serious about change,” says Lama Rod. The status quo of our society is crumbling, and rightly so. Each chapter reinforces the truth of our interdependency-allowing us to be of service to the collective well-being, access the unseen realms of divine guidance and strength, and call on the support of the countless beings who share our struggles and hopes. Combining personal stories, traditional teachings, and instructions for contemplative and somatic practices, he shares inspiring resources for self-exploration and wise action. With The New Saints, Lama Rod shares a guidebook for becoming an effective agent of justice, peace, and change.

In the early to mid-1950s, NACA was just beginning its work on studying space. NACA was the name of the government agency that later became NASA. When Johnson was 34 years old, she applied for a job at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA. In 1952, she started teaching again to support her family after her husband became ill. She taught school for a number of years but stopped when she married and had children. At that time, the only professional job available to Johnson after graduation was teaching. It was also very unusual for women of any race to have degrees in mathematics. African Americans were rarely able to have jobs in mathematics and science. During this time, “segregation” meant that different races were separated from each other in many places and activities. When Johnson graduated from college, the United States was still segregated. ![]() Geometry is the study of lines, angles and shapes.Īt age 18, Johnson graduated with very high grades and degrees in mathematics and French. He even created a class about the geometry of outer space-just for her. Professor Claytor made sure I was prepared to be a research mathematician.”Ĭlaytor made sure that Johnson took all of the math classes she needed to pursue her life’s passion. Johnson said, “Many professors tell you that you’d be good at this or that, but they don’t always help you with that career path. (A research mathematician does many things, one of which is solving large math problems.) Then Claytor helped her become one. “You’d make a great research mathematician,” he told her. Schiefflin Claytor, recognized Johnson’s bright and inquisitive mind. One of her math professors, the renowned Dr. She loved being surrounded by smart people, she said, and knew all of the professors and students on campus. By age 15, she’d started college! What Did She Study in College?Īt West Virginia State College, Johnson became immersed in the math program. When Johnson finally did start school, she so excelled that by age 10, she was in high school. At a young age, she was very eager to go to school. Johnson vividly remembered watching her older siblings go to school, wishing so much that she could go with them. Johnson was born with a love for mathematics. She counted everything, from the number of steps she took to get to the road to the number of forks and plates she washed when doing the dishes. What Was Katherine Johnson’s Early Life Like?Īs a very young girl, she loved to count things. Then her work helped to land astronauts on the Moon. Her work in calculating the paths for spaceships to travel was monumental in helping NASA successfully put an American in orbit around Earth. In a time when minorities held very few jobs in mathematics and science, Johnson was a trailblazer. Sophie Tomov, a graduate of the Physics Wonder Girls 2018 Camp, shared how the program changed her perspective on women and girls in STEM, sharing that the camp taught her that “microscopes can be pink and science is for everyone.Katherine Johnson was an African American mathematician who worked for NASA from 1953 until 1986. In addition to the Sigma Pi Sigma inductees, the first Society of Physics Students (SPS) Outstanding Service Award was given to Puratos Corporation by SPS Director Brad Conrad, PhD, for their long standing partnership with the Physics Wonder Girls Program. He shared how his BS in Physics helped him achieve his career goals at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and brought his childhood dreams of space to life.

Scaling and feathering selections is easy. You can have multiple Adjustment layers, and a single Heal/Clone layer per image. There are Adjustment layers, and then there are Heal/Clone layers. This presents one of the few confusing things about AfterShot Pro 2: You have two types of layers. You won’t find the Layer Manager on the sidebar: There’s a small button on the top toolbar, next to the name of the current layer (which is always Main Layer if you’re not using layers). ![]() Combined with AfterShot’s robust support for RAW images, this makes for a fun editing playground. ![]() AfterShot lets you compare these versions side by side and adjust each independently-and when browsing your photo collection in thumbnail mode, you can stack image versions so they only take up a single thumbnail. Non-destructive editing also means you can easily create multiple versions of a given image and try out different adjustments. Image versioning takes some getting used to but comes in handy. Any changes you make are fully reversible, since they’re saved alongside the original image in an XMP file. Working directly on the disk makes for very fast browsing, and you still get to enjoy one of AfterShot’s key features: non-destructive editing. You can choose whether you want AfterShot to import your photos into a database or work on the folder structure you already have on the disk (similar to what Picasa does). Thumbnails load quickly, and it’s easy to switch between different viewing modes. ![]() Nuclear fusion is the source of extreme energy of the stars including the Sun. Whereas high velocity neutrons are required to initiate nuclear fission, very high temperature, a critical ion density and sufficient confinement time are required to initiate fusion reaction. Deuterium (Hydrogen-2 isotope) is considered as common fuel for fusion, even though it is also possible with protium (H-1) or tritium (H-3) isotopes. The energy release when calculated per unit nucleon (proton and neutron) of the reactant in fusion is significantly higher than that obtained in fission. As usual, this mass defect is the source of energy released in fusion reaction. Although (mass + energy) remains conserved in nuclear fusion, but the cumulative mass of the reaction products is lower than the cumulative mass of reactants, and hence mass defect occurs. Such heat is used to produce high pressure steam for driving a turbine, which, in turn, generates electricity.Īnother type of nuclear reaction is nuclear fusion where two or more lighter nuclei are combined to form a heavier nucleus. This reaction is utilized in nuclear fission power plants where uranium fuel (enriched with U-235) is made to undergo fission in a reactor in order to generate heat. All such chemical elements having mass number higher than iron can theoretically undergo nuclear fission. ![]() The consequent mass defect ultimately leads to the generation of thermal energy following the Einstein’s Mass-Energy Conversion Formula (E = mc 2), and hence (mass + energy) remains conserved. The cumulative mass of the reaction products is lower than the mass of the reactants. ![]() The neutrons produced in one fission reaction can once again participate in fission of the other nucleus of fissile materials leading to a self-sustained chain reaction. Nuclear fission is one type of nuclear reaction where a heavier nucleus, when bombarded by neutron of sufficient velocity, splits into two or more lighter nuclei and at the same time releases one or more neutrons and energy. ![]() I feel like at this point they might as well just give every class/spec a stat template for it and disable procs/etc like they used to do in pvp.

It is advertised to have a firing range of one hundred feet (thirty meters). This may confuse users who have used a traditional clip system blaster in the past, as they may attempt to remove the clip after pulling the bolt handle back. ![]() When the firing trigger is pulled, a dart is fired, and the bolt violently snaps back to the rear position, creating a recoil-like effect. When the priming handle is pulled to the rear and returned to the front, the bolt comes forward and chambers a dart. In an idle, un-primed position, the Centurion's bolt stays in the forward position, allowing the clip to be removed easily. The Centurion's priming mechanism is different when compared to other clip-fed blasters. There are four sling points, two built into the shoulder stock and two built into the barrel. It has two tactical rails, one atop the blaster and in parallel with the bolt and one underneath the barrel. A set of iron sights may help the user aim the blaster. Above the trigger well are priming indicators, which change color in order to indicate to the user that the blaster is primed and ready for use. A translucent jam door is located in front of the bolt, and provides access to jammed darts. It features an integrated shoulder stock. ![]() Similarly, the bolt handles must be attached for use as well. Its barrel requires assembly and is included separately in packaging despite this, it is not meant to be removed like a barrel extension accessory once attached. The Centurion is a clip-fed bolt-action blaster. ![]() The first two games, Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair, have also been ported to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.ĭanganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp is a spin-off game based on Killing Harmony's bonus game, Ultimate Talent Development Plan.

A rousing round of applause abounds particularly for his "Step in Time" number as he performs a fun tap dance sequence along the ceiling of the stage.Īlso a highlight is the children in the show. Having portrayed Bert in the Broadway production, he is well received by audience. Bennett are a fantastic team having many performances together in the Sherman brothers (with additional songs, music, and lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe) score. Tony Mansker portrays Bert, a jack-of-all trades, who has known Mary for quite some time. Travers' book series of the same name, follows Mary as she is employed as a nanny by the Banks family but ends up helping them become a closer unit. Bennett is a very sassy Mary Poppins and at times very haughty. Superbly leading as the title character is Gail Bennett who has performed the role over 100 times on the national tour and regional premier. Also hinted is a relationship between Mary and Bert of which there is no indication in the movie. Banks and took out a performance from Mr. For example, for the stage version (Julian Fellow's book), they expanded the role of Mrs. Let me tell you, though, that the talented cast gets everything right. In typical fashion, things are added/taken out/expanded/moved around. When attending the staged version - Patchogue's incarnation wonderfully directed by Shaun Kerrison - you will see that it does not completely mirror the familiar 1964 movie at several points. The iconic story's Tony Award winning musical adaptation is having its Long Island premier at the beautiful Patchogue Theatre running through July 19th. ![]() One thing is sure Mary Poppins remains one of the most popular tales to this day. Read the original article (login required) at: īroadway World - JBWW Reviews: MARY POPPINS at The Patchogue Theatre But few have come as close in this more complex stage role. No one will match Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins. Whenever the story drags (George works in a bank), Bennett's voice comes to the rescue. It's a neater trick than Mary's umbrella flights (Flying by Foy, lighting by Kim Hanson).Īmong big dance numbers, the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" spelling lesson is overshadowed by gaudy extravaganza (choreography by Lisa Stevens, costumes by Rachel Berchtold), while "Step in Time" and "Let's Go Fly a Kite" - both Bert-led - better suit the scenes and songs. (Perhaps by peering down chimneys.) Tony Mansker's Bert is cheerfully uncomplicated, even when walking up the side frame of the stage and upside down across the top, as he did on Broadway. "Chim Chim Cher-EE," the chimney-sweep anthem introduces us to Bert, who knows all. She brings order that George, a sexist authoritarian (Jonathan Rayson), demands, as well as respect that his ineffectual wife (Kristen Beth Williams) craves.ĭiscord pervades much of "Mary Poppins," leavened whenever an opening note - Jonathan Parks' orchestra always on key - announces a familiar tune. Young Jane and Michael - convincingly played by Alison Cordaro and Nolan Lyons (alternating with Ethan Eisenberg and Thea Flanzer) - challenge, then cherish, Mary's nurturing nature. "Brimstone and Treacle" can't compete with "A Spoonful of Sugar."īennett, a national tour veteran in the role, presents a prim Poppins who's neither out of character playing in the park with the children - the animated statue (Tanner Wilson) is a delight - or scolding them for dismembering their toys.įew of Winifred and George Banks' previous nannies lasted a week at the home on Cherry Tree Lane, charmingly rendered on Christine Peters' gliding set that showed its seams too often on opening night.
