The pixel at the upper-left corner of the map always has pixel coordinates (0, 0). Since the map width and height is different at each zoom level, so are the pixel coordinates. The full pixel width and height of a map image of the world for a particular zoom level is calculated as: var mapWidth = tileSize * Math.pow(2, zoom) Having chosen the projection and scale to use at each zoom level, we can convert geographic coordinates into pixel coordinates. The following table provides the full list of values for zoom levels where the tile size is 512 pixels square at latitude 0: Zoom level Although road data will only be available at the zoom levels in when the tiles are available. The Azure Maps interactive map controls for web and Android support 25 zoom levels, numbered 0 through 24. Zoom level 1 uses four tiles to render the world: a 2 x 2 squareĮach additional zoom level quad-divides the tiles of the previous one, creating a grid of 2 zoom x 2 zoom. At zoom level 0, the entire world fits on a single tile: Azure Maps provides raster and vector tiles for 23 zoom levels, numbered 0 through 22. The Azure Maps SDK's use tiles that have a size of 512 x 512 pixels for road maps, and smaller 256 x 256 pixels for satellite imagery. To optimize the performance of map retrieval and display, the map is divided into square tiles. ![]() ![]() North and south are always up and down, and west and east are always left and right. Square buildings should appear square, not rectangular. For example, we want to avoid distorting the shape of buildings. Preserving the shape of small objects is especially important when showing aerial imagery. It's a conformal projection, which means that it preserves the shape of relatively small objects.This projection significantly distorts the scale and area of the map but has two important properties that outweigh this distortion: The Spherical Mercator projection stretches the map at the poles to create a square map. A projection is the mathematical model used to transform the spherical globe into a flat map. Azure Maps use the Spherical Mercator projection coordinate system (EPSG: 3857). ![]() The alleged presence in Jerusalem of the relic is attested by Cassiodorus (c. : 42 A lance is mentioned in the so-called Breviarius at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Antoninus of Piacenza) in his descriptions of the holy places of Jerusalem, writing that he saw in the Basilica of Mount Zion "the crown of thorns with which Our Lord was crowned and the lance with which He was struck in the side", : 18 although there is uncertainty about the exact site to which he refers. ![]() The first historical reference to a lance was made in AD 570 by an unknown pilgrim from Piacenza (often erroneously identified with St. ![]() Relics Īt least four major relics are claimed to be the Holy Lance or parts of it.Ī relic described as the Holy Lance in Rome is preserved beneath the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica, although the Catholic Church makes no claim as to its authenticity. This is one of the earliest records of the name, if the inscription is not a later addition. In the miniature, the name LOGINOS ( ΛΟΓΙΝΟϹ) is written in Greek characters above the head of the soldier who is thrusting his lance into Christ's side. Ī form of the name Longinus occurs on a miniature in the Rabula Gospels (conserved in the Laurentian Library, Florence), which was illuminated by one Rabulas in the year 586. The name of the soldier who pierced Christ's side with a lonchē is not given in the Gospel of John, but in the oldest known references to the legend, the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus appended to late manuscripts of the 4th century Acts of Pilate, the soldier is identified as a centurion and called Longinus (making the spear's Latin name Lancea Longini). Longinus Ĭrucifixion miniature, Rabula Gospels, with the legend "Loginos" The main piece becomes the lamb, the host that is consecrated on the altar and distributed to the faithful for Holy Communion. Most of these pieces, set aside, become the antidoron to be distributed after the liturgy, a relic of the ancient agape feasts of apostolic times, considered to be blessed but not consecrated or sanctified in the Western understanding. The deacon recites the relevant passage from the Gospel of John, along with sections of the Acts of the Apostles dealing with commemoration of the saints. In most variants of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy, the priest lances the host ( prosphoron) with a liturgical spear before it is divided in honor of the Trinity, the Theotokos (Virgin Mary), and various other remembrances. Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun whose advocacy and writings led to the establishment of the Divine Mercy devotion, also acknowledged the miraculous nature of the blood and water, explaining that the blood is a symbol of the divine mercy of Christ, while the water is a symbol of His divine compassion and of baptismal waters. A ceremonial evocation of this is found in a Catholic Mass: The priest pours a small amount of water into the wine before the consecration, an act which acknowledges Christ's humanity and divinity and recalls the issuance of blood and water from Christ's side on the cross. Catholics, while accepting the biological reality of blood and water as emanating from the pierced heart and body cavity of Christ, also acknowledge the allegorical interpretation: it represents one of the main key teachings/mysteries of the Church, and one of the main themes of the Gospel of Matthew, which is the homoousian interpretation adopted by the First Council of Nicaea, that "Jesus Christ was both true God and true man." The blood symbolizes his humanity, the water his divinity. The phenomenon of blood and water was considered a miracle by Origen. One of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance (λόγχη), and immediately there came out blood and water. To make sure that he was dead, a Roman soldier (named in extra-Biblical tradition as Longinus) stabbed him in the side. Just before they did so, they noticed that Jesus was already dead and that there was no reason to break his legs ("and no bone will be broken" ). Because it was the eve of the Sabbath (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown), the followers of Jesus needed to "entomb" him because of Sabbath laws. The gospel states that the Romans planned to break Jesus' legs, a practice known as crurifragium, which was a method of hastening death during a crucifixion. The lance ( Greek: λόγχη, lonkhē) is mentioned in the Gospel of John, but not the Synoptic Gospels. The Holy Lance, also known as the Lance of Longinus (named after Saint Longinus), the Spear of Destiny, or the Holy Spear, is the lance that is alleged to have pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross during his crucifixion. Fresco by Fra Angelico, Dominican monastery at San Marco, Florence, showing the lance piercing the side of Jesus on the cross ( c. ![]() The American Academy of Nursing ( 2017) stresses the necessity of nurse advocacy to accomplish national healthcare goals. The ANA ( 2015) Code of Ethics describes influencing social and healthcare policy as an ethical duty of all nurses furthermore, the organization continuously promotes advocacy through example and resource offerings ( ANA, n.d.). Multiple and varied healthcare organizations and nursing leaders urge nurse advocacy at all policy levels, ranging from bedside units to international healthcare venues ( Kirpatrick, 2014 Patton, Zalon, & Ludwig, 2015 Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2016 Stokowski et al., 2010). Advocacy is an essential aspect of fundamental nursing practice and is an expected component of the nursing role ( American Nurses Association, n.d.). Using SBAR when engaging in activities with policy makers may help nurses overcome perceived barriers and more effectively engage with key policy stakeholders.Īdvocacy is an essential aspect of fundamental nursing practice and is an expected component of the nursing role. The author discusses the history of SBAR communication, provides an exemplar of SBAR application in policy settings, and offers future research and educational implications. The purpose of this article is to discuss nurse advocacy and to examine SBAR as a means by which nurses can effectively and confidently interact with policymakers. The situation, background, assessment and recommendation (SBAR) situational briefing tool is an evidence-based communication tool familiar to many nurses. The reason for this gap are nurses’ perceived lack of personal free time to engage in policy activities and perceived lack of skill in communicating with policymakers. ![]() Despite increased involvement of nurses in policy arenas in recent years, existing evidence suggests a continued practice gap in nurse advocacy, particularly related to approaching national policy stakeholders. ![]() Nurses recognize and promote the importance of advocacy for nurses at all levels of practice. ![]() For a short time, they succeeded and took over the church and the English government! (See “Oliver Cromwell.”) When the English crown was restored, thousands of discouraged Puritans made their way to North America. The Puritans, who were part of a much larger and better financed migration to America, did not want to separate from the church: They wanted to “purify the doctrines” and thus reform the church. They felt that the Church of England was so corrupt and far from Biblical truths, that separation from that church was the only answer. The pilgrims were a part of the Protestant Reformation. Like most zealots, they were pretty intolerant of those who had different beliefs. They were indeed running from the English authorities because they were “Separatists,” but they didn’t have in mind a new world with religious freedom for all. The old story is that they came here for “religious freedom,” which is partially true. Bradford later describes the bloody “Pequot War,” in which the colonists all but exterminated a tribe.īeyond these facts, we also know people have been somewhat misled about why the pilgrims risked a hazardous sea voyage to come here. The celebration went on for several days.īut, the euphoria did not last. Both groups contributed food and sat down together. ![]() The native tribe, the Wampanoag, did participate. So, was there a “first Thanksgiving”? Yes, according to Bradford. ![]() Much of what we think we know about the pilgrims is contained in that account. While the young nation included immigrants from all over the world, it continued to be English-speaking, despite two wars with the Brits!īesides the language link, there is the fact that the pilgrims produced a very early written account: "Of Plymouth Plantation," by second governor William Bradford. To understand that, we must remember that our fledgling country became an English-speaking country. So why do the pilgrims get all the credit? The French were establishing themselves in what is now Louisiana. The Spanish had a presence in the Gulf and on the West Coast. Our social studies department had the kids read a paperback called "Before the Mayflower." On the cover is a picture of a slave ship! It arrived here before the pilgrims! If they were the first colonists, to whom were the slaves delivered? The only accurate way to describe it is “the second permanent English colony” (after Jamestown) in what would become the USA. But, as columnist Eugene Robinson recently indicated, what has been scorned as “Critical Race Theory” and “woke” behavior is really little more than “teaching the truth.”Īs a longtime high school English teacher, I can tell you that at least 25 years ago we were explaining to kids that Plymouth Rock was most certainly not the birthplace of our nation. This dilemma has been framed recently as something that has just come up, a small part of the “woke” movement. It seems these are no longer “politically correct.” In her crate of Thanksgiving decorations are figures of pilgrims and Native Americans.
