  Cardinal directions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cardinal directions or cardinal points are the four principal directions or points of the compass in plane.
During the Migration Period, the Germanic languages' names for the cardinal directions entered the Romance languages, where they replaced the Latin names borealis (or septentrionalis), australis (or meridionalis), occidentalis and orientalis.
This was common to the Central Asian cultural area and was carried west by the westward migration of the Turks.

Cardinal Points may not be an entirely successful end result, but that is the price of being restless and innovative, of confronting that image of the one-trick critical wonder.
It is always nice to see a decidedly talented musician who isn’t content to rest on the sounds that have made him famous; and as noted, in the variety of new directions that Pilc is exploring, he has held on to that unique mixture of the familiar and fresh that recommends his music so easily.
That, however, remains to be seen; as is, it is a dedicated, determined voyage beyond Pilc’s native boundaries, one that stops at repeated points of interest along the way, with few of the usual bouts of tedium and miscommunication that plague real-world travel.

 W-M: Finding Cardinal Points
If this was reality it meant that the direction of magnetic north relative to true north could be predicted at any point around the earth's circumference and this could then be used by a ship to calculate longitude by comparison with its measured north.
The ancient geometry may be originated and developed for finding the cardinal points with reference with sun.

 Jean-Michel Pilc: Cardinal Points
Cardinal Points emphasizes many of the same features of Pilc’s playing that Welcome Home did, including a sharp attack and a penchant for playing with time.
Ultimately Cardinal Points may end up being a transitional work for Pilc, one that will allow him to blend his compositional style with his ability to reinterpret the standard jazz repertoire.
Cardinal Points has its flaws, but it is a wide-ranging statement by a musician who has found his own voice, both on his instrument and compositionally.

Cardinal Points forces you to use what you learned repeatedly, and to learn from your peers on a weekly basis, to hone those skills and make them as sharp as they can be.
One thing that the Cardinal Points staff said they have taken away from the experience of producing a student newspaper is the friends they have made and the close sense of community they have built.

Frequency of thirteenth-century legislation on this point throughout Northern Europe reveals the prevalence of a passing superstitious belief in the magical efficacy of the font and its waters.
This blessing is in the form of a long Eucharistic prayer the burden of which is an appeal that the Holy Spirit descend on the water and endow it with regenerative virtue, during which the celebrant performs a series of expressive ceremonies of high antiquity.
He divides the water in the form of a cross; signs it with the cross; divides the water and casts a portion of it toward the four cardinal points; breathes on it in exorcism and dips in it the Paschal candle.

 ACADEMIC PROSTITUTION, by Professor Revilo P. Oliver   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The falsifiers suppress the shocking record of virtually all of the popes and the clergy, many of whom were really thugs, and of the monastic orders, which were generally dens of male sexual perversion and female perversion and prostitution, all sicklied o'er with nauseating hypocrisy.
For cardinal points in the falsification of the history of the Catholic Church, see McCabe's book.
My point here is only that the disgraceful conduct of our academic historians long antedates the Jews' Holohoax, which imposed no strain on the morality of "scholars" long accustomed to use as their criterion of historical truth the inquiry, "Is there a buck in it for us, Charlie?"

However, Cardinal Points is only in part a trio album, as the first half is given over to the continent-spanning quintet of Sam Newsome on soprano, James Genus on electric and acoustic basses, percussionist Abdou M'Boup and Ari Hoenig.
Four successive tracks enumerating the cardinal points begin with "South", which is a faster variation on "Fred's Walk".
Newsome joins in and, as he does throughout the disc, adds a touch of paranoia and darkness to the music as his lines take controlled skids off the paths drawn by the rest of the band.
