What does intercept represent?
Answered by Philip Lloyd, Quora contributor, Ex HOD Math at Epsom Girls Grammar, New Zealand. Woolf Fisher Fellow. Specialist Calculus Teacher, Motivator, and Baroque Trumpet Soloist. Mr. Lloyd explains the difference between two words: intersect and intercept. My manservant James enters the media room and says, “Sir, there is a letter waiting on the table.”
“Yes, I know. Let me get up and read it … It’s an ad from some clever climatists. I prefer contemplating nature’s aesthetics right here, where we live, not in Greenland. James, prepare for the tornado.” A religious who appeared in Mass of the Ages was ordained and then cruelly and unjustifiably suspended. Dom Alcuin Reid’s impeccable credentials were to no avail.
“He received a doctorate for a thesis on liturgical reform from Kings College London in 2002 and also worked as a schoolteacher in England. In 2007 he was employed as a teacher of religious education at the London Oratory School, in Fulham, South West London.” His publisher is Bloomsbury Publishing Inc in New York. This latest intervention is the most recent attack on the Latin Mass.

He is drawing well-educated men from around the world. Anyone can listen to the enjoyable, 17-minute Facebook post, which was done before the suspension. www.facebook.com/Monastere-Saint-Benoit-816333008482594/videos/our-monastic-life-and-future/290967065231264/ I highly recommend listening to Dom Alcuin. Pontifex Angelicus The author might have been Joachim of Fiore, not Joachim Merlin.
https://greatmonarch-angelicpontiffprophecies.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_50.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_of_Fiore I quote Wikipedia’s entry on Joachim of Fiore: “Joachim’s theories were refuted by Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica (written 1265-1274). In contrast, Dante situated Joachim in the Paradiso of his Divine Comedy (c. 1320).” … “Of importance is the fact that Joachim himself was never condemned as a heretic by the Church; rather, the ideas and movement surrounding him were condemned. Joachim the man was held in high regard during his lifetime.” Prophecy never interested me before, but the state of the world has caused me to wonder about what might be coming. I agree with Stine’s comment at the end of his video. "Kiss … my … shoe!" Pope Pius XIII says.

In how many ways can a voter rank five candidates without allowing ties?
Answered by Nitin Anad, Quora contributor, PhD in CSE from National Institute of Technology, Manipur (Expected 2025) Not allowing ties simply implies that the ranks are distinct. Hence 5 candidates can be ranked in 5! = 120 ways. [5! is 5 factorial: 5 times 4 times 3 times 2 times 1] If you allow a tie between any two candidates, the number of ways to rank would've been 5!/2! = 120/2 = 60 Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky (PPGNHAIK) offers expanded services for transgender and non-binary patients, including gender affirming hormone care at all our centers.

MIAMI – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill (HB) 395, establishing November 7 as “Victims of Communism Day” to honor the hundreds of millions of people who have suffered under communist regimes across the world.
… High school students will be required to receive at least 45 minutes of instruction in their required United States Government class on topics related to communist regimes and how victims suffered at the hands of these regimes. Instruction on these topics will be required starting in the 2023-2024 school year. https://www.flgov.com/2022/05/09/governor-ron-desantis-signs-legislation-to-honor-victims-of-communism-and-preserve-history-of-the-freedom-tower/ The date the bill was signed was May 9, 2022. At Holy Family Catholic Church, Inverness, IL, a Chicago suburb, the priest blessed the congregation with a guitar. He said, “Rock with us as we roll with you.”
A man stood in the sanctuary, dipped a large wand into a bowl of bubble soap, and waved it around to create a giant blue bubble. He said, “This is the first time this has happened at the feet of the cross of new life.” I call out the bandleader, Chicago Cardinal Cupich, enabler of the gospel of guitar and bubbles. Painting by Émile Isidore Deroy, 1820-1846, in the collection of the Palace of Versailles. This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art.

Charles Baudelaire 1821-1867, French poet, essayist, and art critic. “Many of Baudelaire's philosophical proclamations were considered scandalous and intentionally provocative in his time. He wrote on a wide range of subjects and drew criticism and outrage from many quarters. Along with Poe, Baudelaire named the arch-reactionary Joseph de Maistre as his maître à penser and adopted increasingly aristocratic views.” “In his journals, he wrote, ‘There is no form of rational and assured government save an aristocracy. […] There are but three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the warrior, and the poet. To know, to kill, and to create. The rest of mankind may be taxed and drudged, they are born for the stable, that is to say, to practice what they call professions.’” He translated some of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories. At boarding school in England, Poe learned French. Their master of thinking, and now mine: de Maistre. I am 13% French by way of Katherine Elizabeth Desrosier, whose ancestors probably came from the Rhône-Alpes region, southeastern France, coextensive with the historic region of Savoy.

“In the 17th century, when Descartes was engaged in a tit-for-tat on the topic of ‘radical doubt’, many philosophers believed that we learn about certain truths through senses, such as touch and sight. “Descartes thought that this was wrong: the senses were deceiving. (A person, after all, could be hallucinating or dreaming.) Descartes’ critics responded by asking: ‘If the senses can be so deceiving, then what’s stopping us from doubting everything, including our own existence?’ “Descartes’ response: Cogito, ergo sum — ‘I think, therefore I am.’ The fact that you can doubt your own existence, the philosopher said, is proof that you exist. “Mental phenomena, Descartes declared, are not part of the senses. They are not of the physical world at all. Rather, the mind and body are distinct, separate. Consciousness and the mind are not made of physical matter. “This latter argument, called Cartesian dualism, was widely adopted by thinkers across the West and led to a flourishing of scientific thought, particularly in medicine. “Writing for the journal Mens Sana Monograph, psychology professor Mathew Gendle notes, ‘The formal separation of the ‘‘mind’’ from the ‘‘body’’ allowed for religion to concern itself with the non-corporeal ‘‘mind’’, while dominion over the ‘‘body’’ was ceded to medical science.’ “This advance contributed to great strides in medicine, but it also created problems. “For one thing, it encouraged a view that physical and mental problems are entirely separate, without the ability to influence one another. It also promoted a sense that mental experiences are less legitimate than physical ones, contributing to a culture that often stigmatizes mental health concerns. As it turns out, when an entire society separates mind from body, we risk treating mental health problems as less real, even though they can affect us just as much as any broken bone.” Excellent summary from interestingfacts.com. Descartes is heralded as the first modern philosopher. However, he is more famous for inventing analytic geometry, which linked geometry and algebra. I studied analytic geometry and pre-Calculus in senior year of high school, and that is when the fork in the road was reached: math or English? (af + bg)′ = af′ + bg′ ∫ (af + bg) dx = a ∫ fdx + b ∫ gdx OR Jane Austen’s Vanity Fair. I can say this: one of the improvements in math education is that children are introduced to concepts of algebra, geometry, and functions in 7th and 8th grades, which is earlier than I was. Aristotle introduced “Eudaemonism”, which he described as the greater state of positive existence by combining wisdom, contemplation, and virtue. I recommend Aristotle’s Ethics, which is one half of a single treatise of which his Politics is the other half. I would rank philosopher Aquinas (Catholic priest, 1225 - 1274) first, philosopher Aristotle (Greek polymath, 384 BC - 322 BC) second, and philosopher Descartes (Catholic layman, 1596 - 1650) third. On the left is Descartes.

On the right is Aquinas. Easy to understand if you are Catholic. By playing it a couple of times, you will hear the English. Joan was instructed in the faith by her mother, and it was her mother who introduced her to the communion of saints. Through Saints Catherine, Margaret, and Michael (Archangel) God spoke to Joan. My Latin Missal contains: Litanies of the Name of Jesus, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Joseph, and the Mass for every day. Many other prayers fill 1,852 pages. During her trial, Joan asked for the Blessed Sacrament and was denied Him. POPE IN STRIPES BY _______________ Pope Francis said, “Restorationism has come to gag the Council. The number of ‘restorers’ – for example, in the United States, there are many – is significant.
“An Argentine bishop told me that he had been asked to administer a diocese that had fallen in the hands of these ‘restorers.’ They had never accepted the Council. There are ideas, behaviors that arise from a restorationism that basically did not accept the Council. “The problem is precisely this: in some contexts, the Council has not been accepted. It is also true that it takes a century for a Council to take root. We still have 40 years to make it take root, then.” Not protestant restorationism. Forty years? Contrived.

Out of those parliaments came Stolypin (1862-1911), third prime minister. However, he was assassinated at a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's The Tale of Tsar Saltan at the Kiev Opera House in the presence of Tsar Nicholas II and his two oldest daughters, the Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana. “Stolypin understood that the government must work with the Duma and sought to strike an alliance with the Right and the Center, while attacking and weakening the militant Left, whose positions he once bluntly summarized by the phrase, ‘hands up!’ To that position he replied, ‘Don’t try to scare us.’ ‘What you want are great upheavals,’ he told the militants scornfully. ‘But what we want is a GREAT RUSSIA!’ To emphasize that point, he proceeded to propose some of the most dramatic social and economic legislation in Russia’s history.” Lincoln, 666 According to Lincoln, the legislation was a success, a fact Lenin lamented. One can work with moderates and conservatives but not mad dogs. Excerpt from a story dated June 12, 2022

General George Armstrong Custer haunts multiple places but roams the General’s Residence. “Not all buildings are haunted all the time, though some are said to experience more strange occurrences than others. “The Rookery has had many different reports of unexplained noises, missing possessions, and ghosts seen walking around, among other things. “St. Ignatius Chapel has had multiple fires and rebuilds. People claim to have seen the ghost of the priest who died in the first fire, and there is no explanation for the second fire.” Source: Air Force Times Are there ghosts?

American police officers and the American military stand as a deterrence to crime, aggression, anarchy, and tyranny. If one takes an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and the nation’s borders, and plots to surrender the nation to the heinous, heartless notion of one world government, we begin to wonder if this is what our current leaders and leaders elsewhere are up to, and we ask, “Why sign the oath in the first place?” Signing an oath then becomes duplicitous and degenerate.
