Holy See

Hey fellow adventurers! In an earlier post I promised to elaborate and (attempt to) explain the Holy See. It’s a bit complicated so I’ll give a brief explanation and link a must-read site and a must-watch video. They’re super quick and very interesting!

Very simply: The Holy See is the government of the Catholic church. The pope both rules over Vatican City and controls the Holy See. But don’t get them confused. The Holy See owns property all around the world (mostly churches), and Vatican City is just the most famous. The Holy See often involves itself with international issues, including, but not limited to issues regarding human rights, peace and conflict prevention, poverty eradication and development, environmental protection, and inter-religious understanding. Though we can’t forget its ties to Catholicism, since the Holy See is also in charge of making laws for the Catholic church.

You can read a little bit more about it here, and its relations to the United States (I apologize if anyone outside of the United States feels ostracized since that is never my intention):

Or you can watch the YouTube video down below. I love cute, little informational videos like this. I highly recommend you watch the whole thing, but if you really want to skip the history part since that was my last blog post, skip to 1:38.

By the way if you’ve been leaving me questions, I’m sorry that I don’t respond to them very often. To be honest, I have a hard time getting to them because I must filter out at least 1,000 spam comments every week. Spam containing links is most of what I see. And I actually don’t get that many questions about the content of the blog. The question that comes up most often is what program I use. I use Word Press through the site where my father-in-law bought the web address bryannabartel.com. However, it’s very frustrating doing it that way because even though I do pay for Word Press through the website, Word Press acts like I’m just another blogger using the free version. The second most popular question is about my layout. It just came with Word Press. And the last most popular question is whether it’s difficult/time consuming to write a blog. For me, that depends on the topic. Music and food blogs are my favorite because most of the time is spent listening to music and eating food, so no, not difficult. But some topics require more research, and it honestly feels like I’m back in college again writing a short essay sometimes. Depending on what’s happening in my life, it can be difficult to write 3 blog posts a week. So far, I’ve only missed one blog though. I do have the snacks, uneaten, that I was planning on reviewing for that post so later on I might just double post one of these days. And while I’m talking about myself (which I never do), I might as well tell anyone who doesn’t know me, I’m pregnant. When the baby is due in July, I’m going to try really hard to keep up this blog but I can’t promise that I won’t miss some days. This is my first kid, and I really can’t say how blogging and being a mother will go. Plenty of mothers do it so maybe I’ll still be publishing 3 posts a week. If you’ve read this far, thank you, and that’s my little heads up that this blog might get even more sporadic later this year. Well that’s all for today’s post! Thank you so much for reading for my blog! And as always, until our next adventure!

  8. According to James Bradford, “FREDDIE is a kind of reminiscence controller. It takes the handle and clock from the CPU and multiplexes it with the appropriate timings and alerts to make use of DYNAMIC memory. FREDDIE also buffers the system clock crystal and divides it down then feeds that to GTIA. The XEGS has a FREDDIE however it does not have the prolonged RAM. Even when it did, you’d nonetheless want the chip that does the true bank switching. It’s a small 16-pin chip (Atari/Best Electronics catalog number CO25953: rev9/web page 42). It gets RAS from FREDDIE, the bank select bits from PIA, A14, A15 and the 6502 halt signal to control which bank of 8 chips RAS goes to. A14 and A15 then go to FREDDIE for the address range of the extra reminiscence financial institution (or normal address range with no financial institution switching). The ANTIC/6502 choose bits in combination with the 6502 halt line, management the switching of the PIA financial institution quantity bits to A14/A15 and which bank of memory RAS goes to. Why individuals say FREDDIE does the bank switching is beyond me. An 800XL can appear like a 130XE with that 16-pin chip put in (That’s proper NO FREDDIE) and an extra 8 RAM chips.” And more just lately James Bradford has written: FREDDIE is just a reminiscence decoder and timer.

  9. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
    I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with
    hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  10. Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so
    I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.
    Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.

  11. After I initially commented I seem to have clicked
    the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time
    a comment is added I receive four emails with the exact same comment.
    Is there a means you can remove me from that service?
    Appreciate it!

  12. Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer oder Breitling? Die Auswahl an Luxusuhren Marken ist sehr vielschichtig
    und bevor man sich für eine luxuriöse Armbanduhr entscheidet, sollte man vorher genau wissen, was man kauft.
    Auch innerhalb der Marken von Luxusarmbanduhren gibt es große Preisunterschiede.
    Eine vordergründige Eigenschaft (und damit oft
    auch eine wesentliche Kaufentscheidung) von Luxusuhren ist der Preis, welcher bei einigen hundert bis zu mehreren tausend euro tendieren kann.
    So kann man eine TAG Heuer Formula 1 Herrenuhr bereits für
    circa 1.000 Euro erstehen, während die Modelle
    aus der TAG Heuer Carrera Serie schnell 4.000 Euro und
    mehr kosten. Auch bei anderen Luxusuhren-Herstellern wie Longines,
    Cartier, Maurice Lacroix, Glashütte, Chopard, Junghans oder Hublot muss man tief ins Portmonee greifen, um sich eine Luxusuhr kaufen zu können. Automatikuhren von Tissot oder Certina bekommt bereits ab 500 Euro.
    Maßgeblich für den Kaufpreis von Luxus-Armbanduhren ist a fortiori Material
    sowie das Uhrwerk eines teuren Zeitmessers. Neben der technischen Komponente
    spielen natürlich auch der Wert und die Exklusivität der Marke einer Luxus-Uhr eine wesentliche Rolle
    beim Kaufpreis. Uhrwerke der Superlative, wie das Chronographen Kaliber 4130 von Rolex dagegen gehören zur absoluten Spitzenklasse und treiben den Preis einer damit ausgestatteten Herren-Luxusuhr schnell auf circa 12.000
    Euro. Im oberen Ende der Preisskala findet man hier bspw.
    Luxus-Armbanduhren von Patek Philippe, welche oft nur im hohen fünfstelligen Preisbereich zu erstehen sind.
    Luxusuhren wie die Perpetual Calendar, Gondolo oder Nautilus gehören mit zu den teuersten Luxus-Herrenuhren der Marke
    und bewegen sich zwischen 30.000 und 70.000 Euro.

    Eine solch teure und luxuriöse Analoguhr ist dann aber gleich mehrere normalere Zeitmesser,
    sondern oftmals auch eine echte Geldanlage und beliebtes Erbstück in der Familie.

    well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme

  14. Great blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you suggest starting with a free platform like
    Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so
    many options out there that I’m totally confused
    .. Any recommendations? Appreciate it!

  15. Greate pieces. Keep writing such kind of info on your page.

    again since i have book marked it. Money and freedom is
    the greatest way to change, may you be rich and continue to help others.

  20. Definitely believe that which you stated. Your
    favorite reason seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don’t know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect ,
    people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks
