10:30pm. His || CFGS-TV

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the November 30th, 2007

CFGS-TV is a television station in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is affiliated with the TQS network, and also serves Franco-Ontarians in the neighbouring city of Ottawa, Ontario. The station is owned by Radio-Nord as a twinstick with CHOT, the market’s TVA affiliate.

The station broadcasts on UHF channel 34; it previously broadcast on channel 49 until moving to its current position in 2001. However, prior to changing its listings to national listings only, TV Guide always had this station listed as Channel 49.

CFGS’s operation is considerably smaller than sister station CHOT — the station only airs a 10-minute local newscast weekdays at 5:30pm, along with brief news updates in the morning and in the evening. There are only two anchors (one for the morning news update and one for the 5:30PM news). For a brief period in 2006, there was an occasional commentary by former MP Françoise Boivin on stories that made headlines.

Jesus || Tertianship

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the November 30th, 2007

Tertianship is the final formal period of formation in the Society of Jesus. The Provincial usually invites men to begin Tertianship three to five years after finishing Formation or Graduate Studies. It is intended to be a time in which an individual steps back to critically assess his experience of living and working in the Society of Jesus and whether this is, in fact, the life to which he is being called by Christ. After two years in the novitiate, the Society will usually invite a novice to make a commitment through a profession of three vows – poverty, chastity and obedience. While this profession of three vows serves to bind a man to the Society of Jesus, the Society does not make its formal commitment to an individual Jesuit until that person has been with them for more than 15 years.

He was the author of The Life and Miracles of William of 1173, an anti-semitic polemic which accused the Jews of murdering a young boy whose body was found on Mousehold Heath, Norwich in 1144. Monmouth’s writing William of Norwich helped flame anti-semitic sentiment in England, resulting in the eventual expulsion of Jews from England in 1290.

Magic || R550 Magic

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the November 30th, 2007

The R550 Magic is a short-range missile designed in 1968 by French company Matra to compete with the American AIM-9 Sidewinder. On 11 January 1972, a Gloster Meteor of the centre for in-flight trials fired the R550 Magic and shot down a Nord CT20 target drone (unmanned aerial vehicle).

Mass-produced from 1976, the Magic was adopted by the French Air Force and the Navy.

The Argentine Navy received Magics for its Super Etendards however, they were procured after the 1982 Falklands War.

An upgraded version, the “Magic 2″, replaced the original model in 1986. Now obsolete, 11,300 Magic 2 were produced and it was exported; notably to Iraq, which used them in actual combat.

The Magic has 8 fixed fins, and 4 movable fins. It has a solid-fuel engine, and can engage the target independently from the firing aircraft with its passive IR guidance system. The Magic 2 replaced the AD3601 seeking head by the AD3633, allowing frontal fire on the target (the Magic 1 could only be fired from the rear on the target). The Magic 1 has a transparent dome on its nose, while the Magic 2 is opaque.

The Magic is still carried by the Super Étendard, the Mirage 2000 and the Rafale. It is gradually being replaced by the MBDA MICA.

Some 480 were sold to Taiwan and used by the Republic of China Air Force.
