In this article, the author discusses the relationship between the human body and the emergence of religious language, starting with the thesis that the nature of the human body has a direct effect on the determination of language, and that we only understand the meaning of words in accordance with our physical disposition. In this thorough philosophical-theological treatise on Being, speech, the body and prophetology, Qur’anic textual examples and Islamic traditions are used to explain how body and language interrelate and what conclusions can be drawn from this for the centuries-old theological debate on the "anthropomorphisms" in the Qur’an.

This paper is intended to describe the most significant features of restaurant facilities industry and its territorial organization in Kyiv region. Restaurant facilities can bee seen as a part of economics that develops rapidly during last decades, ensuring economic growth and providing workplaces. It is also a crucial part of the tourist infrastructure, public space and an interesting cultural phenomenon which broadens knowledge about food traditions around the world. Kyiv region is such a part of Ukraine where processes of the restaurant facilities development could be observed multilaterally through all types of restaurant enterprises – cafes, bars, catering, restaurants, street food points, delivery etc. In the paper, the significance of restaurant facilities in the economy has been outlined. The analysis of statistic data and personal observations has been conducted to examin the condition of territorial organization of restaurant facilities of Kyiv city and adjoying territories. Correlation analysis of restaurant industry interconnections and cluster analysis for determination of regional differences has been implemented. Presented research leads to the condition of restaurants facilities industry from the perspective of the Human Geography and demonstrates the latest trends in its development. In addition, problems and ways of improving the restaurant industry in Kiev has been identified and finally some recommendations about proceeding research has been proposed.

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the speeches delivered by American presidents at the National Prayer Breakfast (NPB) from its inception in 1953 until 2016, as well as the rhetorical context of the NPB. Taking a dual-disciplinary approach that combines public theology and presidential studies, this study delineates a generic pattern in the presidential prayer breakfast address built around five narratives. In their speeches at the NPB, presidents construct narratives of faith, connecting divine and human stories in ways that move beyond personal piety, civil religion, or a politicized use of religious language. Presidents serve as public theologians through their prayer breakfast speeches, engaging in transformative rhetoric to communicate their messages. The annual NPB creates a unique liminal space for the president to experiment with speaking theologically.

It is now possible to determine proper motions of high-velocity objects in such a way as to obtain with some accuracy the velocity vector relevant to the Sun. If a potential field of the Galaxy is assumed, one can compute an actual orbit. A determination of the velocity of the globular clusterωCentauri has recently been completed at Greenwich, and it is found that the orbit is strongly retrograde in the Galaxy. Similar calculations may be made, though with less certainty, in the case of RR Lyrae variable stars.

Using the new reductions of the IUE light curves by Sonneborn et al. (1997) and an extensive set of HST images of SN 1987A we have repeated and improved Panagia et al. (1991) analysis to obtain a better determination of the distance to the supernova. In this way we have derived an absolute size of the ringRabs= (6.23 ± 0.08) x 1017cm and an angular sizeR″ = 808 ± 17 mas, which give a distance to the supernovad(SN1987A) = 51.4 ± 1.2 kpc and a distance modulusm–M(SN1987A) = 18.55 ± 0.05. Allowing for a displacement of SN 1987A position relative to the LMC center, the distance to the barycenter of the Large Magellanic Cloud is also estimated to bed(LMC) = 52.0±1.3 kpc, which corresponds to a distance modulus ofm–M(LMC) = 18.58±0.05.
