...Roman Catholic church to receive Holy Communion (Easter duty). During the early Middle Ages from the time of the Synod of Agde (508), it was customary to receive Holy Communion at least three times a year — Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost. A positive precept was issued by the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) and confirmed by the Council of Trent (Sess. XIII, can. ix). According to these decrees the faithful of either sex, after coming to the age of discretion, must receive at least at Easter the Sacrament of the Eucharist (unless by the advice of the parish priest they abstain for a while). Otherwise during life they are to be prevented from entering the church and when dead are to be denied Christian burial. The paschal precept is to be fulfilled in one's parish church. Although the precept of the Fourth Lateran to confess to the parish priest fell into disuse and permission was given to confess anywhere, the precept of receiving Easter Communion in the parish church is still in force where there are canonically-erected parishes. The term Paschal Tide was usually interpreted to mean the two weeks between Palm and Low Sundays (Synod of Avignon, 1337); by St. Antonine of Florence it was restricted to Easter Sunday, Monday and Tuesday by Angelo da Chiavasso it was defined as the period from Maundy Thursday to Low Sunday. Eugene IV, 8 July, 1440, authoritatively interpreted it to mean the two weeks between Palm and Low Sundays [G. Allmang, "Kölner Pastoralblatt" (Nov., 1910) 327...

...calculating Easter has to do with Saint Wilfred. Wilfred after traveling to Rome to learn about the Dionysiac method personally accepted them and became a strong advocate for its practice. Wilfred returned from France before 664 but he used his knowledge regarding the Easter tables to present an argument at The Synod of Whitby (Abels). The account of Wilfred delivering this argument in favor of the Roman Church is discussed both by Steel and Abels. Abels even goes on to state that Wilfred was a protégé of Alhfrith and that Wilfred was very close to King Oswy. Alhfrith was the son of King Oswy and was appointed by his father as a sub-king of a region of the kingdom called Deira. Wilfred had an excellent social standing in the region and used that to his advantage when explaining the Easter tables. In a journal by Poole he supports this by mentioning that Dionysian calculus was brought forth by Wilfred, in...

...PART I A Brief History of Ireland – Gaining Perspective Bloody Sunday, also known as the Bogside Massacre, occurred on January 30, 1972 in Derry, North Ireland. It could be argued that the causes were many, but what really triggered the tragic event, was the North Ireland and British governments, and the British military troops, instituting Operation Demetrius and internment, in response to increasing civil rights marches influenced by the equal rights movement of African Americans in the United States, and their outcry for equality and fair treatment. In 1969, when British troops were told to suppress nationalist activity by both the Irish Republican Army (IRA), and local citizens participating in marches or protests, they did so by internment,...

...The Easter Rising In Ireland 1916, there was an event known as The Easter Rising. The roots of the Rising lie in the ‘new nationalism’ which emerged in Ireland from the 1890s. Its most significant outcome was the rejuvenation of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB). This small, underground, revolutionary body planned and directed the insurrection in 1916. The truly dynamic element was a tiny minority within this organization; they were acting on the old republican principle: ‘England’s difficulty is Ireland’s opportunity’. In August 1915, this group formed the IRB Military Council. It was eventually composed of seven members – Thomas Clarke, Sean MacDermott, Patrick Pearse, Eamonn Ceannt, Joseph Plunkett, James Connolly, and Thomas MacDonagh. All seven approved and signed the Proclamation, and together they declared themselves to be the ‘Provisional Government’ of the Irish Republic when the Rising began. They were aided throughout by an Irish-American organization, Clan na Gael, which shared their aims and provided virtually the only channel of contact between the insurgents and Germany, from whom they hoped to receive military backing. The IRB was too small in number and covert in operation to precipitate a full-scale rising. For this purpose, it hoped to use the Irish Volunteer Force (IVF). This organization had been formed in 1913 by moderate nationalists, impressed by the impact of the Ulster Volunteer Force and frustrated by the delay in Britain granting...

...World Religions Report Stanley Akesson HUM/130 April 7, 2013 Thomas Thiessen I have decided to compare the Christianity faith of United Church of Christ (UCC) along with Islam. Christianity was started with Jesus and ended with the belief and practice which centers on the resurrection of Christ. I will show how the faiths split and divided into three major branches over the centuries. Protestantism, evolved in the 16th century during the Reformation. United Church of Christ (UCC) was part of the in the 1950’s Congregational Churches of the English Reformation with Puritan New England roots in America, and the Christian. Islam was started by The Prophet Muhammad and according to Muslim belief, the angel Gabriel appeared to Muhammad. His life's work is recorded in the Qur'an, the sacred text of Islam. The Holy Quran is a compilation of the verbal revelations given to the Holy Prophet Muhammad over a period of twenty two years Summary of Interview Reverend Joseph Blotz, became a Minister of Faith Formation in August 2010. He is currently assigned to the United Church of Christ (UCC) in Mansfield, Connecticut. Where did everything come from? Reverend Blotz describes where everything comes from with the many stories from the Bible of how the world and everything came to be. It is God’s action that brought the world into existence and order. What is the ultimate problem with the world? A large problem with the world is ultimately broken relationship between God and people...

...V. What are your Personal, Professional, and academic goals? A. Academic goals are to gain my Associates and Bachelor’s B. Professional goal is to have my own day care Journey from My Past to My Future I had dreams of going to college right after high school, but for whatever reason it didn’t happen. In this paper, you will know some of my experience in life that I had to go thru to get where I am at this time in life. Reading the adult development theories in this class made me learned more in life. There is a goal that I want to accomplish in the future. I grew up in Laredo, Texas south of the border. When I say south of the border is because there is a bridge that separates Mexico and the United States. The city of Laredo, Texas and the surroundings areas have seen their population jump almost a third, to 172,000, between 1990and 1995. Much of this is tied to Laredo’s position as the business crossing point on the US – Mexico border. Sullivan, JL. (March 1997) page 1. My mother was born in Zapata, Texas and my dad was born in Laredo, Texas. Both of them went to the same high school and that’s where they met. They got married very young my dad went to World War II in Korea as soon as they got married. My mother had to stay with her mother in-law until my dad came...

...The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution affected the nations politics in the following ways. The Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed citizenship to anyone born in the United States. It also prohibited any efforts to violate the civil rights of “citizens” black or white, to deprive any person “of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”; or to “deny any person the equal protection of the laws.” With the Fourteenth Amendment the federal government assumed responsibility for protecting the civil rights of Americans. With the Fourteenth Amendment in place during the Congressional Reconstruction, this forced the ten ex- confederate states to accept the amendment and change their state government. While this foundation for civil rights was good on paper,...

...World Religion Report Today there are over one billion members of the Catholic Church and that number grows daily. What it means to be catholic is to love Jesus completely and to follow him and his teachings. Catholics try to integrate Jesus into every aspect of their daily lives. They believe Jesus is lord, father, the son and the Holy Ghost, the Holy Trinity. They follow the Ten Commandments, Thou shalt have no other gods before me, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, Honor thy father and thy mother, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor and Thou shalt not covet. The seven sacraments, Penance, Baptism, Holy Eucharist, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders are the heart of the catholic religion. There are actually three different branches so to say of Christianity, Roman Catholic, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox. The Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic Church. They belong to Catholic churches that are known as parishes, where they go and worship no matter where their location in the world. Catholicism can be traced back to Jesus Nazareth. Its members are headed by Bishops, whose roles originated with the disciples of Jesus. (Patheos Library website, n.d.) Vatican City and Peters Basilica stands above the grave of Peter. The pope is actually...

...prayer revolves around thanking God, asking for something, or praying for the ill. The Gospel of Matthew contains one prayer called “The Lord’s Prayer”. The prayer tells Christians how to pray and what to pray for. It is known as the most influential prayer in Christianity. The Christians most sacred book is the Holy Bible which is composed of an old and New Testament. Also, Christians used to follow a strict practice of going to mass every day, but this has phased out a bit in recent times due to modern society. Christians also go to mass on Sunday which is the Sabbath. On a yearly basis there are many sacred holidays or holy days that require Christians to do or refrain from certain acts. An example of one of the holidays is Christmas and Easter. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. This is marked by celebration and has a large effect on the experience of Christians as it is one of the most well-known holidays. Easter is the holiday celebrating that the Christians’ Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. It is marked by celebration and new life. Examples of holy days are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Ash...

...The Baptists are one of the largest Christian denominations. As indicated by their name, the primary Baptist distinctive is their practice of "believer's baptism" instead of infant baptism. Baptist churches tend to be evangelical in doctrine and reformed in worship, but beliefs and practices can vary due to the autonomy of individual Baptist churches. Historically, Baptists have played a key role in encouraging religious freedom and separation of church and state. In the United States, the two largest Baptist organizations are the Southern Baptist Churches (SBC) and the American Baptist Churches (ABC). Notable Baptists have included Martin Luther King, Jr., Charles Spurgeon, John Bunyan and Billy Graham. My friend, whom I attended a Baptist...

...joined the adult choir too. In high school, she sang in the chorus as well and was educated in the public schools.. Local supporters provided funds for study with Agnes Reifsneider and, later, Giuseppe Boghetti. When Anderson was 23, she entered a competition and won first place over 300 other singers, gaining her an engagement with the New York Philharmonic at Lewisohn Stadium. Further sponsorships enabled her to continue her studies in the United States and, after winning the Rosenwald Fellowship, in Europe. Following debuts in Berlin in 1930 and London in 1932, Anderson concertized in Scandinavia, Germany, South America, and the Soviet Union. In Salzburg, Austria, she gave a sensational performance at the Mozarteum with famous conductor Arturo Toscanini in the audience. Upon hearing her sing, Toscanini reportedly told her she had "a voice heard but once in a century." At the end of her European tour, Anderson was an acclaimed sensation in the capitals of Europe, and American impresario Sol Hurok signed her to 15 concerts in the United States. On December 30, 1935, she opened her American tour at New York's Town Hall. The program was typical for Marian Anderson, consisting of songs by Handel, Schubert, Giuseppe Verdi, and Sibelius as well as several black spirituals....

...enchiladas as opposed to buying them because she conveys her care and affection through her cooking. It is common to place family above all else in the Mexican culture, and cooking reflects that to an extent. As children, my mother stayed home to care for my brother and myself while my dad worked. Consequently, we received much parental care and attention, which is not common in the American culture. As a member of the Mexican culture, I was raised to practice the Roman Catholic religion. Nearly all my relatives are Catholics and the elders emphasize the importance of following this religion. The American culture is also religious, yet it has a more liberal outlook towards religion. I met an American family that attended church every Sunday, but had no concern for the religion beyond that. In the Mexican...

...For consumers, restrictions on trading hours impinge on consumer choice regarding when (and where) to shop, causing inconvenience and congestion costs. For retailers, there are efficiency costs and administration costs in complying with state trading regimes. But the largest costs are reserved for those retailers who are prevented from trading to the extent they would like: they forego trade to other retailers and also to other avenues of discretionary consumer spending. Changes in social patterns have contributed to decisions by state and territory governments to liberalise trading hours regimes over time. But for all states, some trading restrictions still remain and they continue to discriminate between retailers on the basis of products sold, size and location. Beyond the deregulated ACT and Northern Territory, restrictions on trading hours apply with varying levels of intensity. Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland are the most restrictive states. Some of the regulated states have also established geographic shopping districts or regional trading precincts which have created significant ‘boundary’ anomalies that fundamentally distort retail markets. Onerous and costly compliance processes have also arisen in some regulated states to allow (large) retailers to trade on restricted trading days. There are good reasons why trading hours in Australia should be fully deregulated: – increased consumer welfare benefits associated with greater convenience and product choice...

...Associated British Foods, is made by Wander AG, a subsidiary of Twinings which acquired the brand from Novartis in 2003, except in the United States, where Nestlé acquired the rights separately from Novartis later on. History Ovaltine was developed in Berne, Switzerland, where it is known by its original name, Ovomaltine (from ovum, Latin for "egg", and malt, originally its main ingredients). Soon after invention the factory moved out to the village of Neuenegg a few kilometers west of Berne, where it is still produced. Ovomaltine was exported to Britain in 1909; it was a misspelling in the trademark registration that led to the name being shortened to Ovaltine in English-speaking markets. A factory was built in Kings Langley which exported to the United States as well. By 1915 Ovaltine was being manufactured in Villa Park, Illinois, for the US market. Originally advertised as consisting solely of "malt, milk, eggs, flavored with cocoa", the formulation has changed over the decades, and today several formulations are sold in different parts of the world. The popular chocolate malt version is a powder which is mixed with hot or cold milk as a beverage. Malt Ovaltine (a version without cocoa) and Rich Chocolate Ovaltine (a version without malt) are also available in some markets. Ovaltine has also been available in the form of chocolate bars, chocolate Easter eggs, parfait, cookies, and breakfast cereals, where it is only the brand name that connects the cereals with the chocolate drink...
