Mardi Gras - a French tradition
Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, is the day before Ash Wednesday that marks the beginning of Lent. It has the same religious origins and meaning as Shrove Tuesday. On Mardi Gras, Christians would eat rich foods like crepes and cakes before fasting during Lent. Carnaval is related to Mardi Gras and comes from the Italian phrase "carne vale" meaning goodbye to flesh, as it is also celebrated on the day before Ash Wednesday with costumes, makeup and food.

Mardi Gras is a carnival celebration held on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. Originating from French, Mardi Gras literally means "Fat Tuesday". The most famous Mardi Gras celebration occurs in New Orleans, where parades feature large floats decorated in green, purple and gold throwing beads and doubloons to crowds.

Mardi Gras Power Point
Mardi Gras traditions originated in ancient Roman festivals before Christianity. When Christianity spread through the Roman Empire, the Carnival season before Lent was established as a time for feasting and celebration. Specific traditions like the Krewe of Rex parade and boeuf gras symbol come from French influence on New Orleans Mardi Gras celebrations. Over time, additional parades and traditions developed, including the first African American Krewe of Zulu and the Mardi Gras Indians who parade through neighborhoods in elaborate homemade costumes.

The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers analyzed data from dozens of countries and found that lockdowns led to an average decline of nearly 30% in nitrogen dioxide levels over cities. However, they also observed that this improvement was temporary and air pollution rebounded once lockdowns were lifted as vehicle traffic increased again. Overall, the study highlights how human activities are a major contributor to air pollution but also that systemic changes are needed for long-term air quality improvements.

Church a denomination
Churches of Christ should resist being called a denomination. A denomination refers to a religious group that is separate and distinct from others based on beliefs, rules, worship, or creed. Churches of Christ teach that there is one universal church and that denominations divide it. While we must refute false teachings, we should do so out of love and urge others to obey the truth, not embrace error. The Bible teaches there is one body of Christ, not many denominations.
MaRdi GrAs
Mardi Gras is known for its huge street celebrations, especially in New Orleans, Louisiana, where people wear outlandish costumes and beads are thrown in the streets. Mardi Gras, meaning "Fat Tuesday" in French, is a three day celebration period before Lent that is associated with street festivals and parades with a masquerade theme.
Top Ten Questions Catholics Are Asked
The document summarizes the top ten questions Catholics are often asked and provides responses to each question. It discusses questions about salvation, worshiping wafers in the Eucharist, venerating Mary, confessing sins to priests, praying to images and for the dead, calling priests "father", obeying the Pope, and whether Catholic beliefs are found in the Bible. The document aims to explain Catholic theology and address common misconceptions in a charitable manner.
Theology on human sexuality
The document summarizes and critiques the book "The Sexual Person" which expresses views on human sexuality that differ from traditional Catholic teachings. The book's authors argue that Catholic moral theology needs reestablishing with a historical perspective, and they propose substantial changes including supporting homosexuality. They claim scripture lacks relevance due to lacking historical context. However, the document argues the book's position on homosexuality is circular and relies on ambiguous uses of "natural". It concludes the book poses dangers by justifying behaviors and being misquoted to support positions inconsistent with Christian morals.
John Calvin (1509 1564)
John Calvin was a French theologian born in 1509 who experienced a conversion to Protestantism in 1533. He fled to Geneva during religious wars and served as a pastor to French refugees, continuing his studies and writing. His most famous work, Institutes of the Christian Religion, addressed issues of church governance and morality. Calvin incorporated the reformed church into Geneva's city government, attracting Protestant refugees. His theology emphasized literal scripture interpretation and the doctrines of predestination and the elect.
Are you predestined
This document discusses the complex philosophical debate around the concepts of divine predestination, free will, and grace. It presents three main views - Thomism, Molinism, and Mostism - each with different explanations for how God can infallibly foreknow and guide human actions while still preserving free will. The document also notes several difficulties with reconciling each view and concludes that while no system is perfect, further philosophical progress may uncover a more satisfactory solution in the future.
Catholic Protestant Distinctions
This presentation was originally given five years ago at a conference for the Catholic Diocese of Peoria. It's been re-recorded to clear up the audio. Hope you enjoy it.
Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras in New Orleans officially begins on January 6th and concludes on Fat Tuesday, with parades starting sporadically on January 6th and becoming more frequent in the two weeks prior to Fat Tuesday. The earliest celebrations date back to the early 1700s. Major parades include Rex, which follows Zulu and is composed mostly of older white residents, and Zulu, a predominantly African American krewe known for throwing coconuts. Parades feature floats, bands, dancers, and throws like beads to spectators.
Describe The Rise Of Christianity
1. Paul, a former persecutor of Christians, played a key role in spreading Christianity from Jewish communities to Gentiles throughout the Roman Empire through his missionary travels and letters.
2. The Roman Empire facilitated the spread of Christianity through unified laws, roads, and languages across its territory, though early Christians also faced periods of persecution which testified to new converts.
3. Over time, Christianity gained acceptance and prominence within the Roman Empire, culminating with the Edict of Milan in 313 AD granting freedom of worship and Theodosius later making it the official state religion, changing the status of the Church.
Free will
The document discusses the philosophical problem of free will and determinism. It presents the key positions in the debate: compatibilism, which holds that free will is compatible with determinism; hard determinism, which argues that if determinism is true then free will cannot exist; and libertarianism, which believes free will exists and determinism is false. The document also examines arguments for and criticisms of each view, such as the consequence argument for hard determinism and the intelligibility question for libertarianism.
Science of the Theology of the Body
This document discusses how science relates to and supports the Catholic theology of the body. It covers topics like the natural order of attraction, fertility, sexual intercourse and child development. It then addresses issues like pre-marital sex, contraception and same-sex relationships that can disrupt natural order and cause chaos. The conclusion advocates adopting a sacramental worldview and argues that science, when properly understood, affirms the theology of the body.
CARNIVAL of new orleans
Mardi Gras is an annual carnival celebration held in New Orleans and Mobile in the days leading up to Ash Wednesday. The festivities originate from Catholic traditions where it was the last day to enjoy rich foods before Lent. In New Orleans, the carnival season starts on January 6th and features daily parades in the two weeks before Fat Tuesday, when the largest parades take place. Throwing colorful plastic beads from floats to crowds has been a tradition since the 19th century. At midnight after Mardi Gras, police clear the streets as the celebration officially ends and Lent begins.
Freedom of Will and Determinism
This document discusses the philosophical debate between determinism and libertarianism regarding freedom of will. Determinism holds that all events are determined by causal laws, leaving no room for free will or moral responsibility. Libertarians argue that people have free will based on their ability to deliberate between choices and feel moral responsibility. Compatibilism offers a middle position that while people are determined, they can still be considered free and responsible for voluntary actions. The document outlines arguments from different philosophers on each side and provides an essay question asking students to argue their position on this issue.

American Civil War ~ 1861-1865
The American Civil War lasted from 1861 to 1865 and was fought between the northern and southern states over the issues of slavery and states' rights. The war resulted in the end of slavery and the preservation of the United States as one country rather than a disjointed collection of individual states or confederacies.
Venice ~ Italy

San Francisco ~ USA
San Francisco in California, USA is the financial, cultural, and transportation centre of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.5 million people which includes San Jose and Oakland.
In 1776, colonists from Spain established a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi on the site. The California Gold Rush of 1849 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, and thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt, hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later. During World War II, San Francisco was the port of embarkation for service members shipping out to the Pacific Theater. After the war, the confluence of returning servicemen, massive immigration, liberalizing attitudes, and other factors (Vietnam) led to the Summer of Love and the gay rights movement, cementing San Francisco as a centre of liberal activism in the United States.
Today, San Francisco is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, ranking 35th out of the 100 most visited cities worldwide, and is renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge and cable cars. The city is also a principal banking and finance centre, and the home to more than 30 international financial institutions, helping to make San Francisco rank 18th in the world's top producing cities, eighth in the United States, and twelfth place in the top twenty global financial centers.
The song 'San Francisco' (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) is a song, written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and sung by Scott McKenzie.
It was written and released in 1967 to promote the Monterey Pop Festival. By June 1967, it commanded the number four spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Meanwhile, the song rose to number one in the United Kingdom and most of Europe. The single is purported to have sold over 7 million copies worldwide. The song is credited with bringing thousands of young people to San Francisco, California during the late 1960s.
In Central Europe, young people adopted 'San Francisco' as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising.
Baku ~ Azerbaijan
Baku is the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, as well as the largest city on the Caspian Sea and of the Caucasus region. It is located on the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula, which projects into the Caspian Sea.
Baku boasts a vibrant nightlife. Many clubs that are open until dawn can be found throughout the city. Clubs with an eastern-style provide special treats from the cuisine of Azerbaijan along with local music. Western-style clubs target younger, more energetic crowds. Most of the public houses and bars are located near Fountains Square and are usually open until the early hours of the morning.
Baku is home to restaurants catering to every cuisine and occasion. Restaurants range from luxurious and expensive to ordinary and affordable.
In the 'Lonely Planet ~ 1000 Ultimate Experiences', Baku is placed 8th among the top 10 party cities in the world.
In recent years, the success of Azerbaijani performers such as Aysel, Safura, Elnur Huseynov and Arash in Eurovision has significantly boosted the profile of the Baku music scene, prompting international attention. Following the victory of Azerbaijan's representative Eldar & Nigar at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011,
Baku will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.
Joshua Tree National Park ~ USA
Joshua Tree National Park is located in southern California and features unique Joshua trees and desert scenery. The park covers around 800,000 acres and offers hiking trails, rock climbing, and opportunities to view wildlife and rare plants. Visitors can camp, enjoy scenic drives, and experience the beauty of the Mojave and Colorado desert ecosystems protected within the national park.
Banff National Park ~ Canada
Banff National Park is Canada's oldest national park, established in 1885 in the Rocky Mountains.
The park, located 110–180 km (68–110 mi) west of Calgary in the province of Alberta, encompasses 6,641 km2 (2,564 sq mi) of mountainous terrain, with numerous glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forest, and alpine landscapes. The Icefields Parkway extends from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbours to the west, while Kootenay National Park is located to the south and Kananaskis Country to the southeast. The main commercial centre of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was instrumental in Banff's early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracting tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada responded by initiating a two-year study, which resulted in management recommendations, and new policies that aim to preserve ecological integrity.
Huangshan ~ China
Huangshan (literally 'Yellow Mountain'), is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China.
The area is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly shaped granite peaks, Huangshan Pine trees, and views of the clouds from above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.
Having at least 140 sections open to visitors, Huangshan is a major tourist destination in China. In 2007, for instance, over 15 million tourists visited the mountain. The foot of the mountains is linked by rail and by air to Shanghai, and is also accessible from cities such as Hangzhou and Wuhu. As of 1990, there were over 50 kilometers of footpaths providing access to scenic areas for visitors and staffers of the facilities. Today there are also cable cars that tourists can use to ride directly from the base to one of the summits. Throughout the area there are hotels and guest houses that accommodate overnight visitors, many of whom hike up the mountains, spend the night at one of the peaks to view the sunrise, and then descend by a different route the next day.
Huangshan is known for its stone steps, carved into the side of the mountain, of which there may be more than 60,000 throughout the area.The date at which work on the steps began is unknown, but they have been said to be over 1,500 years old.
The hotels, restaurants, and other facilities at the top of the mountain are serviced and kept stocked by porters who carry resources up the mountain on foot, hanging their cargo from long poles balanced over their shoulders or backs.
