A Changeless Faith for a Changing World

A Lecture by His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I

 

Full Event Video: www.americanprogress.org//events/2009/11/EcumenicalPatria...

 

His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the ecumenical patriarch of Orthodox Christianity, will discuss the nature of progress at a lecture co-sponsored by the Center for American Progress and Georgetown University in Gaston Hall at Georgetown. In His All Holiness's words, true progress is a "balance between preserving the essence of a certain way of life and changing things that are not essential." Orthodox Christianity is a revolutionary faith and is dedicated to change. And even though the faith has never taken up the banner of progressivism per se, it has taken up many causes over the centuries that are progressive by definition. His All Holiness will address three of these causes at his lecture: nonviolence, philanthropy (specifically in the form of health care), and environmentalism.

Muscles count.

I got the idea from MissTorRee. She had a funny comment on my first definiton and I figured I might as well follow what she said. Unfortunately the grain is pretty prominent because of the high ISO, and my handwriting failed me on the last word, but I had to follow what I was writing on that mirror, and I still like the picture. :)

 

Also, I've been wanting to start on a 52 weeks project, but I want to start epically (word?). I can't just start on some random day, so when do I start? My birthday is too far away :( Suggestions?

 

La leyenda en español no puede caber aquí :( Bastante lo que dice es que la foto es de comentario de MissTorRee en esta foto.

 

Tambien he querido empezar al proyecto 52 semanas, pero quiero empezar un dia especial. Ideas?

This image took two weeks to complete. It was so worth it. I think it might be my favourite so far. And yes, that is a recurring character you spy.

I highly recommend visiting Professor Dan Russell at Penn State for help visualizing this:

These are the two main types of waves studied in introductory physics courses. Trans means across, and a TRANSverse wave involves moving an oscillator across a medium so that it causes a wave moving perpendicular (across) the direction the particles are moving. The distance between peaks on the wave is called the wavelength (lambda) and the time between peaks is called the period (T). The height of the peaks is called amplitude, and like in simple harmonic motion, is related to energy. (t, x) and (d,x) graphs are shown at left, with the wavelength and period labeled on them.

 

The other kind of wave, LONGitudinal, has an oscillator vibrating so that it vibrates aLONG the medium, causing it to bunch up and spread out. If we plot a graph of density of the medium, we see it looks a lot like the position graphs for a transverse wave. Longitudinal waves are important because this is how sound travels.

It's just a big bicep!

Remember that Energy is the ability to do work. So imagine the work we're interested in is smashing an old car. We're going to drop something on it. What will apply the most force over the largest distance (to crush the car?) Massive objects and objects that fall from great heights. We say such objects store potential energy. It's "potential" energy because when the object is just sitting up high, the energy isn't being released. No work is being done. But once you let the object fall, it gains a new type of energy that could do some work. We'll learn about this type later. Note that potential energy is a great way to store energy. Just put something heavy up high and as long as its safely up there, it's storing your energy.

A high-definition photograph of Bourg-en-Bresse on a postcard which was sent to recipients in Ankerbold Road, Old Tupton UK on the 1st. August 1957, although the photograph itself looks as if it were taken about ten years earlier.

 

The photograph shows l'Avenue d'Alsace-Lorraine with the clocktower of l'Église Notre-Dame in the distance. This tower was made taller and more elegant in the earlier part of the century.

 

The opposite happened to the old post office building on the left; earlier photographs show that the curved wall to the right of the arched windows used to have quite a tall decorative tower above it, but it has been removed and capped off with a small sloping roof.

 

Bourg-en-Bresse is in eastern France, and is 43 miles north-northeast of Lyon. It is at the western base of the Jura mountains on the left bank of the Reyssouze, which is a tributary of the Saône.

From Equinox Mountain summit, elevation 3840+ ft. (1170+ m), is a mountain in Bennington County, Vermont, in the town of Manchester. The mountain is the highest peak of the Taconic Range, and the highest point of Bennington County. It is one of thirteen peaks in Vermont with a topographic prominence over 2,000 feet (610 m), ranked third behind Mansfield and Killington. Equinox is the second highest peak in southern Vermont, after Stratton Mountain.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(season)

 

Definition

 

Meteorologists generally define four seasons in many climatic areas, winter, spring, summer and autumn (or fall). These are demarcated by the values of their average temperatures on a monthly basis, with each season lasting three months. The three warmest months are by definition summer, the three coldest months are winter, and the intervening gaps are spring and autumn. Spring, when defined in this manner, can start on different dates in different regions. In most of Northern Hemisphere locations, spring occurs during the months of March, April and May[1]. (Summer is June, July, August; Autumn is September, October, November; Winter is December, January, February.) The vast majority of Southern Hemisphere locations will have opposing seasons with spring in September, October and November.[2]

Astronomically, the vernal equinox (usually 20 March in the Northern Hemisphere, and 22 September in the Southern Hemisphere), should be the middle of spring (based on the angle of the sun and insolation) and the summer solstice (usually 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere and 21 December in the Southern Hemisphere) should be mid-summer (because the sun is at its highest) but daytime temperatures lag behind insolation by several weeks because the earth and sea have thermal latency and take time to warm up.

Some cultures, such as those who devised the Celtic and East Asian calendars, call the spring equinox mid-spring, but others (especially in the USA and sometimes in England) regard it as the "first day of spring". For most temperate regions, signs of spring appear long before the middle of March, but the folklore of 21 March being the "first day of spring" persists, and 21 June as the "first day of summer" is common in the USA. In South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, spring begins on 1 September, and has no relation to the vernal equinox.[3]

In East Asian Solar term, spring begins on 4 February and ends on 5 May. Similarly, according to the Celtic tradition, which is based solely on daylight and the strength of the noon sun, spring begins in early February (near Imbolc or Candlemas) and continues until early May (Beltane).

The phenological definition of spring relates to indicators, the blossoming of a range of plant species, and the activities of animals, or the special smell of soil that has reached the temperature for micro flora to flourish. It therefore varies according to the climate and according to the specific weather of a particular year.

 

Events

 

In spring, the axis of the Earth is increasing its tilt toward the Sun and the length of daylight rapidly increases for the relevant hemisphere. The hemisphere begins to warm significantly causing new plant growth to "spring forth," giving the season its name. Snow, if a normal part of winter, begins to melt, and streams swell with runoff. Frosts, if a normal part of winter, become less severe. Temperate climates have no snow and rare frosts, the air and ground temperature increases more rapidly. Many flowering plants bloom this time of year, in a long succession sometimes beginning even if snow is still on the ground, continuing into early summer. In normally snowless areas "spring" may begin as early as February (Northern Hemisphere) heralded by the blooming of deciduous magnolias, cherries, and quince, or August (Southern Hemisphere) in the same way. Subtropical and tropical areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons, e.g. dry or wet, or monsoonal, or cyclonic. Often the cultures have locally defined names for seasons which have little equivalence to the terms originating in Europe. Many temperate areas have a dry spring, and wet autumn (fall), which brings about flowering in this season more consistent with the need for water as well as warmth. Subarctic areas may not experience "spring" at all until May or even June, or December in the outer Antarctic.

While spring is a result of the warmth caused by the turning of the Earth's axis, the weather in many parts of the world is overlain by events which appear very erratic taken on a year-to-year basis. The rainfall in spring (or any season) follows trends more related to longer cycles or events created by ocean currents and ocean temperatures. Good and well-researched examples are the El Niño effect and the Southern Oscillation Index.

Unstable weather may more often occur during spring, when warm air begins on occasions to invade from lower latitudes, while cold air is still pushing on occasions from the Polar regions. Flooding is also most common in and near mountainous areas during this time of year because of snowmelt, accelerated by warm rains. In the United States, Tornado Alley is most active this time of year, especially since the Rocky Mountains prevent the surging hot and cold air masses from spreading eastward and instead force them into direct conflict. Besides tornadoes, supercell thunderstorms can also produce dangerously large hail and very high winds, for which a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is usually issued. Even more so than in winter, the jet streams play an important role in unstable and severe weather in the springtime in the Northern Hemisphere.

In recent decades season creep has been observed, which means that many phenological signs of spring are occurring earlier in many regions by a couple of days per decade.

Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life (both plant and animal) being born. The term is also used more generally as a metaphor for the start of better times, as in the Prague Spring. Spring in the Southern Hemisphere is different in several significant ways to that of the Northern Hemisphere. This is because: there is no land bridge between Southern Hemisphere countries and the Antarctic zone capable of bringing in cold air without the temperature-mitigating effects of extensive tracts of water; the vastly greater amount of ocean in the Southern Hemisphere at all latitudes; at this time in Earth's geologic history the Earth has an orbit which brings it in closer to the Southern Hemisphere for its warmer seasons; there is a circumpolar flow of air (the roaring 40s and 50s) uninterrupted by large land masses; no equivalent jet streams; and the peculiarities of the reversing ocean currents in the Pacific.
