Canadian Origin Stories-The Birth of Goodand Evil. The story of Sky Woman's descent to earth continues with the birth of Sky Woman's daughter. Sky Woman's daughter gives birth to twin sons. Even prior to their birth, these two sons are in conflict. The goodtwin is born in the natural way, while his evil brother, jealous of his sibling's being born first, pushes himself out his mother's side. The birth of the twins marks the beginning of the battle of goodand evil on earth. The brothers grow quickly and begin to fill the world with their creations. One creates all that is goodand useful to humans, while the other is destructive, and creates all that is bad. Eventually the goodtwin defeats his evil brother, and banishes him to a pit under the earth. From this pit the evil twin sends emissaries that continue to bring evil into the world. Vincent Bomberry, 1982, Keller George, Oneida Haudenosaunee, 2001 and Alan Brant, Tyendinaga, 2001.

Musée canadien des civilisations. Les histoires de la création - La naissance du Bien et du Mal. L'histoire de la Femme du Ciel se poursuit dans la naissance de la fille de la Femme du Ciel qui donne naissance à des fils jumeaux. Avant même leur naissance, les jumeaux étaient rivaux. Le bon frère est venu au monde par la voie naturelle, tandis que le mauvais, jaloux de son jumeau parce qu'il était né le premier, a vu le jour en sortant par le côté de sa mère. La naissance des jumeaux marque le début de la lutte entre le bien et le mal sur la terre. Les deux frères grandissent rapidement et commencent à remplir le monde de leurs créations. L'un crée tout ce qui est bon et utile aux humains tandis que l'autre s'emploie à détruire l'œuvre de son frère et à créer tout ce qui est mauvais. Les jumeaux finissent par se livrer bataille; finalement, le bien l'emporte sur le mal. Le mauvais frère est chassé, confiné à rester dans les profondeurs de la terre, d'où il envoie des émissaires qui continuent à faire le mal. Par Vincent Bomberry, 1982, Keller George, Haudenosauni d'Oneida, 2001, et Alan Brant, Tyendinaga, 2001.

World Evangelical Alliance is a global ministry working with local churches around the world to join in common concern to live and proclaim the GoodNews of Jesus in their communities. WEA is a network of churches in 127 nations that have each formed an evangelical alliance and over 100 international organizations joining together to give a worldwide identity, voice and platform to more than 420 million evangelical Christians. Seeking holiness, justice and renewal at every level of society-individual, family, community and culture, God is glorified and the nations of the earth are forever transformed. Christians from ten countries met in London in 1846 for the purpose of launching, in their own words, "a new thing in church history, a definite organization for the expression of unity amongst Christian individuals belonging to different churches. "This was the beginning of a vision that was fulfilled in 1951 when believers from 21 countries officially formed the World Evangelical Fellowship.

  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
CONT

R bar approach of the space shuttle towards the satellite ... along the radius vector.

OBS

For visualization purposes, the station's direction of motion is called the velocity vector, or V-bar for short. By convention, points in front of the station are said to be on the positive V-bar while points behind are considered negative. The imaginary line connecting the station with the center of the Earth is called the radius vector, or R-bar. Points directly below the station along this line are considered positive while points above are considered negative. Endeavour, then, will approach the station along the plus R-bar. The station will be oriented with its long axis aligned with the velocity vector, with the Unity module in "front" and Zvezda behind. Unity's nadir and zenith ports will be oriented as their names imply. This orientation, or attitude, is known as "XVV, "i. e., the station's X axis is aligned with the velocity vector. The terminal rendezvous sequence will begin with a rocket firing(TI) as Endeavour trails the station by about eight nautical miles. Once the shuttle reaches the plus R-bar, commander Brent Jett will guide the ship up from directly below. As he nears the station, he will yaw the shuttle 180 degrees so its tail is pointing in the direction of motion and its nose toward the minus V-bar. Assuming a good linkup, the shuttle will begin controlling the station's orientation for the duration of Endeavour's mission, moving the lab back into an "X-POP" attitude with the station's X axis perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. In this orientation, the long axis of the station is broadside to the velocity vector.

OBS

R-bar approach: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

PHR

Minus R-bar approach.

[L'] alignement du port d'amarrage de Mir avec celui situé dans la soute de la navette [...] doit être positionné sur une ligne imaginaire baptisée «R-bar», allant de Mir au centre de la Terre. Il s'agit de mettre à profit la mécanique céleste, qui veut que plus l'orbite est basse, plus la vitesse de rotation autour de la Terre est rapide. En s'approchant «par en-dessous» de la station, l'avion spatial bénéficie d'un freinage naturel.

approche en R-bar : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
