Kartograph.org Age of Aquarius Overview[edit] The approximate 2,150 years for each age corresponds to the average time it takes for the vernal equinox to move from one constellation of the zodiac into the next. This can be computed by dividing the earth's 25,800 year gyroscopic precession period by twelve, the number of Zodiac constellations used by astrologers. According to different astrologers' calculations, approximated dates for entering the Age of Aquarius range from 1447 AD (Terry MacKinnell) to 3597 (John Addey).[2] Astrologers do not agree on when the Aquarian age will start or even if it has already started.[3] Nicholas Campion in The Book of World Horoscopes lists various references from mainly astrological sources for the start of the Age of Aquarius. Based on the research by Nicholas Campion, most published material on the subject state that the Age of Aquarius arrived in the 20th century (29 claims), with the 24th century in second place with twelve claimants.[4] Astrological meaning[edit] Vera Reid[edit]
Polymaps Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria - Wikipedia The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria is the largest Christian Church in Egypt, Northeast Africa and the Middle East.[a] According to tradition, the Church was established by Saint Mark, an apostle and evangelist, in the middle of the 1st century (approximately 42 AD).[1] The head of the Church and the See of Alexandria is the Patriarch of Alexandria on the Holy See of Saint Mark, who also carries the title of Coptic Pope. The Coptic Orthodox Church belongs to the Oriental Orthodox family of Churches, which has been a distinct Christian body since the schism following the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451, when it took a different position over Christology from that of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church.

Source Code & Tutorials Recently, I have released source code for a number of projects. In most cases these projects are released as they were published – while the code is reasonably well-commented, the projects weren’t build specifically to be released and thus may not be shining examples of standards and software architecture. That said, I hope that these releases will serve as inspiration for you to make some things of your own. If you do end up building something interesting, please let me know.

Wikiquote Wikiquote is one of a family of wiki-based projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation, running on MediaWiki software. Based on an idea by Daniel Alston and implemented by Brion Vibber, the goal of the project is to produce collaboratively a vast reference of quotations from prominent people, books, films and proverbs, and to give details about them with appropriate attribution. Though there are many online collections of quotations, Wikiquote is distinguished by being among the few that provide an opportunity for visitors to contribute.[2] Wikiquote pages are cross-linked to articles about the notable personalities on Wikipedia.[3] Initially, the project was created solely in English; a later expansion to include additional languages was started in July 2004. History[edit] Growth of the largest eight Wikiquotes Multilingual cooperation[edit] In July 2004, about 70 subdomains were set up.

Geocoding a Location Geocoding using the Search Manager Class To geocode and reverse-geocode locations, you can use the geocode and reversegeocode methods in the SearchManager Class class. The class reference page provides sample code to show you how. Alternative: Geocoding using the Bing Maps REST Services For most scenarios, you can use the geocode and reversegeocode methods in the SearchManager Class class to geocode and reverse-geocode locations. The following sections show how to create an AJAX V7 map session that geocodes a location and displays it on a map using the REST Services. Note that the example code uses a session ID instead of a Bing Maps Key to make requests. Initialize the Map Before you add geocoding functionality, initialize the map using the following code. Add Controls For this sample, add a text box and a Geocode button. Since the Bing Maps REST Services also require a Bing Maps Key, you need to first retrieve the key from the map object to ensure the session is valid. Display the Results
How do I set a version 7.0 bing map center to a location Getting started with Bing Maps AJAX Control 7.0 All that is needed to complete the page is a Div with the correct ID and something to call the GetMap function and make everything happen: If you don't specify a height and width 400 by 600 is used by default. The complete page is: <! If you load this page via a web server then you should see the default Bing map appear. Although the map control looks as if it is a JScript function it really is a Javascript/DOM object. If you are familiar with earlier versions of the Map object you need to know that the new version has far fewer methods. For example, the original map control's SetCenter method will move the map location to the specified latitude and longitude. The easiest way to make sure you understand this is via a simple example: If you add a button to the web page: and the following click event handler: then clicking the button recentres the map on 55N, 1.5W. For example there is a zoom property which you set to a numeric zoom level.
Using the Bing Maps API Using the Bing Maps API This article will explore how to add the Bing Maps API to a website. Bing Maps provides an interactive AJAX SDK (found at: www.microsoft.com/maps/isdk/ajax) that allows the user to choose what aspects to include on their Bing map. The users can switch between the visual map, the source code, references for the code used and more information about the SDK and Bing Maps API. The user simply needs to choose the map options they wish to have on their map and copy and paste the code into their website. In this article, we will be using WebMatrix. WebMatrix gives you a number of different ways that you can create a new web site. Create a website with WebMatrix Open WebMatrix once it is downloaded and installed. For this article we will be using an empty site. We will be taken to our WebMatrix workspace. Before we can create a new webpage, we have to navigate to our files workspace. Click the files workspace and create a new .cshtml file. Adding a Bing Map to your Website
Creating Heat Maps with Bing Maps and Dynamics CRM - Microsoft Dynamics CRM Team Blog Creating Heat Maps with Bing Maps and Dynamics CRM The majority of data in the enterprise today has a location component, including most sales, operational, or service-related data. By visualizing our business data on a map, we can identify trends by geography,and use them to make smarter business decisions. In this blog post, we will show how you can visualize business data within Microsoft Dynamics CRM on Bing Maps in the form of a heat map, to identify hotspots of customers, leads, service requests and more. Dynamics CRM provides a powerful general purpose framework for developing line-of-business applications, and we will use Dynamics CRM Online, the Bing Maps AJAX v7 control,and a HeatMap module to create our visualization. What are heat maps? Note that the code samples below assume that your data in CRM has been geocoded, with latitudes and longitudes populated for the entities you wish to visualize.
