Göteborg Distributed: Eventual Consistency in Apache CassandraJeremy Hanna
Cassandra provides eventual consistency through its use of hints, read repair, and anti-entropy processes to continually reconcile differences across nodes and datacenters. It sacrifices strict consistency in favor of high availability and partition tolerance as dictated by the CAP theorem. While eventual consistency allows the system to remain available and tolerant of failures, it means that reads may not always return the most recent write.

This lesson gives a brief introduction to all the amazing things that the Bible says about water baptism. Not only is it well explained, there are several examples in the Bible to model the use of water baptism today.
There are 7 very important things that happen in the waters of baptism, according to the Bible. Some churches call it "an outward sign of an inward experience", but do they really know just how rich that inward experience is? For believers in Jesus Christ to be baptized in water has been a common practice for thousands of years. Jesus commanded that His disciples baptize believers, and they did!
God commands that we baptize all people, including both adults and children. When we are baptized, the Holy Spirit offers forgiveness of sins, deliverance from death and the devil, and eternal salvation. Baptism joins us to Christ's death and resurrection and assures us that our sins are forgiven for Jesus' sake through faith created by the Holy Spirit working through the water and Word of God in baptism.
As soon as we forget that God poured out on us the Holy Spirit to cleanse us and renew us as His children, we begin to grow in pride and self-righteousness.
This document outlines a teaching on releasing souls from hell through prayer.

It encourages studying the author's books on this topic and contacting them for more information and seminar schedules. It includes a communion service "on behalf of the damned" to release souls from hell through prayer.
Have you ever wondered why Jesus got baptised, given that he was without sin? In this presentation we explore three different levels of meaning in Baptism, which suggests an answer to that question.

12.05.25 communion how to receive communion worthilyJustin Morris
The document discusses how to receive Holy Communion worthily. It emphasizes that faith in Christ's words of institution are most important, not outward preparations alone. Anyone who does not believe Christ's words or doubts them is unworthy. Self-examination is key to discerning one's worthiness, which includes examining our faith, repentance of sins, and resolve to change our lives with God's help. The Sacrament must be denied to those openly ungodly and unrepentant, divisive, or unable to examine themselves.
1) Baptism works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare.
2) Christ said "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
3) Baptism is meant for infants and adults alike and gives the blessings of God's grace, mercy, and salvation through faith in Christ.
This chapter discusses the three dimensions of the blood of Jesus Christ - the historical, eternal, and continuing dimensions. It explains that Jesus' death on the cross some 2,000 years ago reconciled mankind to God, and that His blood was shed for our sins once and for all time. The chapter emphasizes that the blood of Christ is an ongoing provision that should be applied in believers' lives today, bringing forgiveness, cleansing, redemption, and power over sin and the enemy. It outlines the many provisions that are available to us through Jesus' blood, and shares a vision the author had of Jesus' crucifixion.
This document contains a summary of a passage from the Bible about Jesus referring to the Holy Spirit as "living water".

It provides historical context about water sources in Jerusalem to further illustrate the significance of "living water". The summary concludes by quoting other scholars who emphasize how the Holy Spirit flows out from believers to bless others.
The document discusses the Feast of Epiphany, which celebrates God revealing himself as human in Jesus Christ. It centers around the visit of the Magi, guided by Scripture and a star, finding and worshiping Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

The feast emphasizes how Christ reveals God to the world through his physical presence and the proclamation of the gospel in the church.

Here are descriptions of the two artworks:
1. Parallel Lines by Ann Hamilton is a mixed media installation presented in two separate rooms as part of the 1991 Sao Paulo Biennial art exhibition in Brazil. It likely featured found objects and textiles arranged in a way to divide and connect the two spaces. The title references the parallel nature of the two parts existing simultaneously but separately.
2. The Basilica of Hagia Sophia is a 6th century church located in Istanbul, Turkey that was originally constructed as an Orthodox Christian cathedral but now serves as a museum. Notable for its massive dome structures, it exemplifies the architectural achievements and mathematical/engineering principles of Byzantine building techniques during the early Christian period.
The document provides information about Internal Assessments (IA) and External Assessments (EA) for the IB Theory of Knowledge course. An IA is a presentation by 1-5 students on a Problem of Knowledge taught to an audience. It is assessed based on identification of a knowledge issue, treatment of issues, knower's perspective, and connections. An EA is a 1600 word essay on a prescribed topic, graded externally and based on understanding issues, knower's perspective, analysis quality, and organization. The document outlines calendars and expectations for developing IA and EA projects over the course of a semester, including research methods, outlining, peer reviews, and presentations.

This document describes a new type of battery that is safer and longer lasting than current lithium-ion batteries. It works by using sodium ions rather than lithium ions and two different solid materials for the anode and cathode. Sodium ions can move back and forth between these solid materials during charging and discharging. This new battery design could enable safer, more cost-effective batteries for consumer electronics and electric vehicles.
The document provides an overview of climate change data and statistics concepts. It includes 3 figures showing land surface temperature data from the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study with different timeframes and trend lines applied. It also lists topics to be covered in an intro to statistics course on climate change, including how to collect and interpret data ethically and reduce bias. Finally, it provides the reading list for the course, which covers evolution, Charles Darwin, and more.
The document discusses philosophical changes in art from the 18th century to the 20th century. It notes that the Romantics began emphasizing individual expression and the "now" over classical traditions. This focus on innovation and the present came to fruition in the 20th century with Modernism. Modernism philosophically emphasized scientific reasoning, avant-garde forms, and abstract reinventions of previous styles. The document then analyzes several influential 20th century art movements including Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Abstraction, Suprematism, and Dada/Surrealism and highlights pioneering artists associated with each movement.
Achilles was a hero in Greek mythology known for his strength and bravery in battle. However, he had one weakness - his heel. As a baby, his mother Thetis held him by his heel and dipped him in the river Styx to make him invulnerable. But his heel, where she held him, was not touched by the water and remained mortal.
23. post impressionism, symbolism and art nouveauJustin Morris
This document provides an overview of several Post-Impressionist artists and movements that emerged in the late 19th century in reaction to or evolution from Impressionism, including Pointillism, Symbolism, and Art Nouveau. It discusses key Post-Impressionists like Georges Seurat, Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edvard Munch, and Paul Gauguin, summarizing their artistic styles, subjects, and philosophies. The document also contrasts the aesthetic principles of Cezanne and Seurat through analyses of their landscape paintings.
1. The document outlines the agenda for a mathematics class, including readings on history of mathematics, a podcast, and activities on mind reading, the Monty Hall problem, and coloring shapes.
2. It discusses definitions of mathematics, axioms, theorems, and the relationship between math and reality. Concepts like a priori synthetic knowledge and the certainty of mathematical statements are examined.
3. On Wednesday, students will discuss how statistics and probability relate to their Extended Essay topics and how different interpretations of data affect understanding. They will pose questions about the mathematical aspects of their topics.
The document discusses the impact of photography and industrialization on artmaking in the 19th century. It notes that mass production through mechanical processes affected even the decorative arts and that photography depended on non-human chemical and mechanical processes, making the artist's hand less important. Key differences between painting and photography are outlined, such as the accumulation of technique over time in painting versus capturing a single moment in photography. The invention of photography by Joseph Nicephore Niepce is described. Early photographers like Talbot, Nadar, and Brady are mentioned, as are Civil War photographs by Gardner.
This document provides an overview of artistic styles and movements between 1750-1850, including Neoclassicism and Romanticism. It discusses key philosophers, artists, and works that exemplified these periods. Neoclassicism was inspired by Enlightenment ideals and emphasized reason, while Romanticism embraced emotion and nature. The document also notes tensions between these styles, and how they varied between countries and evolved over time.
The document provides a weekly schedule and breakdown of art to be covered, including:
- Monday: Dutch Masters from the 17th century and an introduction to French Baroque.
- Tuesday: French Baroque artists de La Tour and Poussin.
- Wednesday: Sites to visit in Paris, including the Royal Academy, Louvre, and Versailles.
- Thursday: Introduction to the Rococo period and artists Watteau and Hogarth.
- Friday: Italian Rococo.
The French Academy ranked classical art forms over romantic art forms. Its purpose was to standardize art instruction through a hierarchical system overseen by Jean-Baptiste Colbert. It promoted a compromise between baroque and classical styles that appealed to Louis XIV's taste for grandeur but in a more secular form known as le bon gout, or good taste. This style was imposed across France and elevated Paris over Rome as the artistic capital of Europe.
This document provides context on the Baroque period in Italy and Spain through several artworks and artists. It discusses the 17th century conflicts in Europe including the Thirty Years War. The development of science at this time is also noted. For art, the document outlines the development of the Baroque style in Italy, focusing on Caravaggio's realism and use of tenebrism. It then discusses the artists Gentileschi, Annibale Carracci, Bernini, and their contributions to developing the Baroque style through works like The Calling of Saint Matthew and The Ecstasy of Saint Therese. Finally, it briefly introduces the Spanish Baroque, noting key artists like Velazquez who were inspired by Italian masters.
The document provides an overview of Baroque art in Holland and Flanders between the 16th and 17th centuries. It discusses the historical context of the Dutch gaining independence from Spain in 1648. It then profiles several prominent Dutch Baroque artists from the period, including Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Jan Bruegel the Elder, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, and Johannes Vermeer. For each artist, it provides brief biographical information and images to highlight characteristics of their work.
Jan Van Eyck (1385-1441) was a Flemish painter who served as court painter to the Count of Holland. Some of his most famous works include the Ghent Altarpiece and the Arnolfini Portrait. He was influential as one of the first Western artists to use oil-based pigments in his paintings and the first to sign his name on a portrait. Modern theorists have proposed that Van Eyck's realistic style was achieved through using convex mirrors to trace projected forms, though this claim is disputed. The document provides biographical information about Jan Van Eyck and discusses his artistic accomplishments and innovative techniques.

Titian was one of the greatest Venetian artists, known for his tonal approach to painting landscapes and figures. He employed bold strokes of color as a base and would leave paintings for months before reexamining and refining them. His mastery brought figures to a state of perfect symmetry and living flesh through gradual stages. Titian's works were commissioned during the Counter-Reformation to combat Protestant movements and iconoclasm.
The document provides background information on key figures and developments during the High Renaissance period in 16th century Italy. It discusses the three major figures of the High Renaissance - Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo. For Leonardo, it describes his training in Florence and career working for patrons in Milan and Florence. It highlights his use of sfumato technique and imaginative landscapes. The document also provides analysis of Leonardo's famous works like the Mona Lisa, noting its pyramidal composition and enigmatic smile.
1) Florence established itself as a center of art and architecture in the early 15th century after gaining independence. Major projects like the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore were completed during this period.
2) Brunelleschi and Ghiberti competed to design the baptistery doors, with Ghiberti winning. Brunelleschi then turned his attention to solving the engineering challenges of building the dome of Florence Cathedral, establishing new construction methods.
3) Wealthy families like the Medicis became important patrons of the arts, commissioning works from artists such as Donatello, Masaccio, and Botticelli. These artists helped establish ideals of naturalism, perspective, and classical inspiration that

Baptized into the death of Christ,
They are a new creation.
Through Christ's redemption they shall stand
Among the glorious heav'nly band
Of ev'ry tribe and nation.

Whose arm hath bound the restless And bid its angry tumult cease,

Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep O hear us when we when we cry to
Its own appointed limits keep: Thee
O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea.
For those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and pow'r
Our people shield in danger's hour;

heard Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
And hushed their raging at Thy Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
word, Glad praise from air and land and
Who walkedst on the foaming deep sea.
And calm amid its rage didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
6. Water, like religion and ideology, has the power to move
millions of people. Since the very birth of human
civilization, people have moved to settle close to it.
People move when there is too little of it. People move
when there is too much of it. People journey down it.
People write, sing and dance about it. People fight over it.
And all people, everywhere and every day, need it. -
Mikhail Gorbachev, President of Green Cross
International
Water is also one of the four elements, the most beautiful
of God's creations. It is both wet and cold, heavy, and
with a tendency to descend, and flows with great
readiness. It is this the Holy Scripture has in view when it
says, "And the darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters." Water, then, is the most beautiful element and
rich in usefulness, and purifies from all filth, and not only
from the filth of the body but from that of the soul, if it
should have received the grace of the Spirit. - John of
Damascus (679?-749) Exposition of the Orthodox Faith

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to
you, unless one is born by means of
water and Spirit he is not able to enter
into the kingdom of God.”
First, the eon denotes origin and
source. The fact that there is one
preposition makes water and Spirit a
single concept. The absence of the
Greek articles with the two nouns
makes their unity even more apparent

salvation. You have granted unto me the

The genitives may be regarded as possessive:
“bath belonging to regeneration”; or qualitative:
“regenerating bath”; or objective: “bath
effecting regeneration.”
Any one of these genitives retains the main
point, namely, that this bath and this
regeneration plus the renewing are inseparably
connected: where the bath is, there the
regeneration and the renewing are.

faith and so creates in us new spiritual

great joy and delight that God is
unchangeable, that He works in
accordance with unchangeable necessity,
and that He cannot deny Himself (2 Tim.
2:13) but keeps His promises. Accordingly,
one is not free to have such thoughts or
doubts about predestination; but they are
ungodly, vicious, and devilish. Therefore
when the devil assails you with them, you
should only say: “I believe in our Lord
Jesus Christ, about whom I have no doubt
that He was made flesh, suffered, and died
for me. Into His death I have been
baptized.” This answer will make the trial
disappear, and Satan will turn his back.
