Like many insular communities, St. Paul's School has its own way of speaking. Some of these words are institutions at the school, used so commonly by students that even faculty members use them. Others are used in an ironic nod to the school's past. Still others are arcane and rarely used, but earn their inclusion here by being peculiar to the Millville community. Bolt: vb. trans. 1. To deal with or take care of. ("Bolt your vids.") 2. (Derogatory) To flee or forget about. ("Bolt that.") Butter: vb. trans. 1. To relax w ...

Chisholm took her first steps in establishing a solo identity in late 1998 by duetting with Canadian rocker Bryan Adams on the massively successful song "When You're Gone". Though it never topped the charts (UK #3), it went on to become the eighty-second best-selling single of the 1990s. She followed the duet with the critically acclaimed album Northern Star in 1999. Eager to distance herself from her "Sporty" image, the rocky "Goin' Down" (UK #4) was chosen as the first single from the album. Though it failed to make a huge impact in the charts or do much for album sales, the single and its vid ...

The Human Ecology Program: synthesis of aerobics, biochemistry, homeopathy, naturopathy, orthomolecular medicine, philosophy, and psycho-cybernetics developed by artist and research physician Da Vid, M.D. Its theory depicts God as The Life Force: an eternal, fundamental, omnipotent, and omnipresent - yet mysterious (indeed, indefinable) - Power immanent in humans.

A fundamental component of the program is, in effect, the endeavor to become identical to The Power. The Human Ecology Program embraces: Artainment; bodywork (especially chiropractic); communion, meditation, and/or prayer; dietary supplementation; The Freedom Aerobic Exercise Program (a videotape program); homeovitics; and radionics.

A Theosophical definition of Vidya :

Vidya

(Sanskrit) The word (derived from the same verbal root vid from which comes the noun Veda) for "knowledge," "philosophy," "science." This is a term very generally used in theosophical philosophy, having in a general way the three meanings just stated. It is frequently compounded with other words, such as: atma-vidya  - "knowledge of atman" or the essential Self; Brahma-vidya  - "knowledge of Brahman," knowledge of the universe, a term virtually equivalent to theosophy; or, again, guhya-vidya  - signifying the "secret knowledge" or the esoteric wisdom. Using the word in a collective but nevertheless specific sense, vidya is a general term for occult science.

Gimli (Icelandic) (from gimill, himill, himin heaven)

In Norse mythology, a heavenly abode, where "gentle gods of the chosen" shall abide in serenity after the destruction of the present world system (Ragnarok). Not to be confused with Valhalla, where Odin's heroes rest between battles on the Plain of Consecration (Vigridsslatten).

In Gimli a golden palace will shine brighter than the sun. It will surpass in splendor the heavens named Audlang (from aud empty, desolate + lang vast, spacious) and Vidblain (from vid wide, spacious + bla blue) and will be the future home of the gods when they return after Ragnarok.

"These are the three gradually ascending planets of our 'Chain.' There the gods were enthroned, as they used to be. . . . From Gimil's heights (the seventh plane or globe, the highest and the purest), they looked down upon the happy descendants of LIF and LIFTHRASIR (the coming Adam and Eve of purified humanity), and signed to them to CLIMB up higher, to rise in knowledge and wisdom, step by step, from one 'heaven to another,' until they were at last fit to be united to the Gods in the house of All-Father" (SD 2:100).

This is foretold by the sibyl in Voluspa.
