"Hold on a sec… Just what do I look like in your eyes?"

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Spring

Location: Prince Castle (Hall)

Subaru: ♪~

Ah, keep your face still, Sally~. I need to get your measurements right!

Mao: G-got it.

Subaru: Theeere we go. Your face has been drawn! Now, to color you in!

Wasn’t there a yellow highlighter in the art supply set somewhere? And I wanna use somethin’ like a sparkly glitter pen too~! ☆

Mao: Hold on a sec… Just what do I look like in your eyes?

Tsukasa: Heheheh… It sounds like they’re struggling with their portrait over there.

Sorry to break it to you, but the victor here has been decided from the start. With the gifted education of the Suou Family, I am quite good at Sketching people…♪

Sagiri-san, please stay put just for a while longer. I will be finished with my drawing shortly…♪

Esu: Hah…

Leo: Hey, Suo~! Why won’t ya draw me?

Do you hate me that much? Are ya tired of me ‘cause you see me practically every day~?!

Tsukasa: If I drew you, Leo-san, you would not be able to sit quietly to be drawn.

This “showdown” requires not only a good hand, but a good choice in subject matter.

Esu: Um, it’s fine however it turns out, so could you finish up as soon as possible?

The way that guy's been looking at me for a while now has been seriously scaring me. I wanna be released as soon as possible.

Fuyume: …Mmu~.

How come nobody ever chooses Yume! Everyone should be drawing Yume, the best princess here!

Yume’s a cosplayer, so Yume’s used to sitting still. ♪ Everyone, look at Yume! Okay? ♪

Esu: …You can just ignore that guy, okay, Suou-senpai?

Tsukasa: Er, alright. I will be done shortly, so don’t move too much, understood?

Sigh. Trying to get my way with a group such as this was impossible to begin with, wasn’t it? There are truly too many people who do hear others out here.

(However, a “portrait contest”—huh.)

(I had been hoping to impress the judges with an attractive display, like through the Dance contest earlier, but…)

(They won’t easily provide us an opportunity to have the spotlight, will they? Among the nearly hundred orders, it’ll require a considerable number of attempts to land a chance to Appeal yourself to the judges.)

(It’s as Nice-san said; it’ll be a matter of Trial & Error.)

Subaru: Alright, I’m done with my drawing!

Tsukasa: I have also finished.

Nice: “It appears you two managed to finish your drawing within the time frame. Punctuality is expected for any working member of society, but it is impressive nonetheless!”

“Drawings are also the product of how we perceive the world. Let us see what it is your eyes reflect; how you sense the world around you!”

“First up will be Akehoshi-kun. If you could point your picture at the camera so we all can see?”

Subaru: Ta-dah~! ♪ My drawing of Sally~! ☆

I used highlighters and glitter pens to try to make a sparkly portrait! Whaddya think?

Tsukasa: Fufu, the colors are quite Vivid and magnificent indeed.

I can’t help but smile at Isara-senpai, who looks straight out of a manga. ♪

Tsukasa: (But at the same time, it’s also because I now am certain of victory.)

(Such poor drawing skills do not even come close to my level!)

And now, it is my turn.

Here is my portrait. How is it? Doesn’t it look just like Sagiri-san?

Esu: Whoa… You’re really good. It feels like looking into a mirror, almost.

Tsukasa: Indeed. It does, doesn’t it! That is because I’ve received guidance by a private tutor for many years. ♪

Nice: “Now that both parties are here, let us announce the results!”

“The winner this time is—”

[WINNER—Akehoshi Subaru, “Giant Mirror Ball”]

Subaru: Hooray~! I win! ☆

Tsukasa: No way, this can’t be right…

Please tell me the criteria for judging. What went wrong with my portrait?!

Nice: “You should already know what the requirements are.”

Tsukasa: …?

Nice: “Indeed, there were a good number of judges who appreciated Suou-kun’s fundamentals in their evaluation. However, in this “showdown”, a realistic drawing isn’t exactly the right goal here.”

“This is an audition for idols, and Akehoshi-kun’s portrait left a greater impression than expected on the judges.”

“If this were a variety show, I’m sure every person in the commentary room would feel compelled to comment on Akehoshi-kun’s drawing, no?”[1]

Tsukusa: Gh, so that’s how it is…!

Devastating as it is, I understand the objective. The purpose of this “showdown” is not to contest purely on artistic talent, but on one’s attractiveness as an Idol.

It is my failure that I am just too skilled to have made it interesting.

Leo: You sure have some high self-esteem there, don’t ya~.

—Ohh, a super huge mirror ball appeared while I was talking, huh? As expected of the elite staff of 4piece, huh! The preparations are quick!

Tsukasa: WooOAAHHHH?! What an obscene mess of lighting!

This is not something I consider to make a “best ball”!

Leo: Wahaha! It’s givin’ more of a disco vibe now~! ♪ I feel like boogyin’ to some dance music! ☆

Fuyume: …What terrible taste. Don’t you agree, Esu?

Esu: Hmm… Well, I kinda like how lively it looks.

Fuyume: Esu, your sensibilities have corroded while you were cooped up…

This means that Yume will have to read to you every day before bed. ♪ Yume will take you to Yume's world of dreams. ♪

Esu: Stop stop stop stop stop…!

Nice: “Friends in the audience, are you perhaps questioning this decision?”

“Your sentiments are valid! Every human being has their own inner ideal.”

“However, many people are reluctant to voice their opinions until reality shatters that ideal.”

“‘This wasn’t supposed to happen! Even though going my way would be far better!’—”

“But by the time one is finished spitting their litany of complaints, the victor has already been decided, hasn’t it?”

“However, this “competition” allows for orders that retract the arrangements that have already been made! Just keep in mind that the delays that add up may turn things fatal!”

“What is essential for the “Selected Idols” that will be taking flight around the world, is the vision that embodies your ideal, and the teamwork that moves things forward in harmony with those here—”

“That is what I am asking for!”

“Now, the next order is in thirty minutes! I am looking forward to seeing the “best ball” you will all put together from the judges’ seats! ♪”

A lot of Japanese television has an emphasis on reaction, so it’s common for programs (and especially variety shows) to have a panel of personalities as commentary with the program. If you’ve ever seen clips from Japanese television, you may recognize the little portrait boxes in the corner of the screen that feature other people. It gives viewers both reactions for people to empathize with, and the chance to see their favorite television personalities on shows.

DEGRADATION

A cold, colourless room full of petrified human figures. Standing still, passionately suffering.

Well, that is a way you could explain a department of greek and roman sculptures in the Louvre Museum, France. And it will not be a matter of ignorance or lack of art education; alienation and aggressiveness would be the key words on this analysis. I will choose to be (and stay, even if warned afterwards) blind. Critically frozen and misled, I will not see the full picture, just the small chip of marble that looks weird. 

When Polanski decides to put Picquart as our guide on this filmed view on the Dreyfus Affair, he puts us through a man’s changing point of view, first as an anti-semitic ordinary man to one whose life would be severely thorn by defending a Jew’s honour. That we follow Picquart ascension of consciousness as he realizes the military has put on him black-and-white lenses of the Good and Evil, is a director’s way of saying he wants to go beyond the historical affair. Maybe he’s trying to say, “beware, there are more of these old men out there - right here, right now”. 

With an intention of telling a sober story of a past not to be turned into future again, “J’Accuse” goes straight into the point: a Jewish military man is accused of treason and loses his freedom for it. When Alfred Dreyfus says “you’re accusing an innocent man” we can hear a crowd roaring “liar, traitor!”, that and the sneer of his higher officers. The ritual of undressing a once respectable man is quick and geometrical, brief enough for the audience to understand something may not be fair. But the visual throughout the movie tells it all; the square is grey and mortified by rain and ice. Officers stand repeated and mimetical. The fine work of colour correction makes uniforms stand, shining in gold, red and black. The opening scene (or, to be honest, most part of the film) could be read in a Foucault-like mind: institutional-tempered bodies ready to discipline and punish.

When it becomes clear that colonel Picquart will fight for justice, his uniform suits becomes more frequently worn with a greyish light-blue shade. He is not fully under the Military’s scope of protection anymore, but he never ceases to abide by it. As well as Dreyfus; both respect orders and hierarchy and believe it can (and will) save them from harm. Turns out it is almost impossible because, as colonel Henry conveniently says, “the mind of an officer holds secrets that even his own kepi must not know about��. The result is that prejudices are justified to contour mistakes; docile bodies choose to keep their sick attitude in order to maintain a status quo. Set in 1894, Dreyfus’ trial should have been an eye-opener on how institutions fail constantly - and how anti-semitism was already triomphant in this grey world. 

Blood-red uniforms and hypocrysis mingle in a sad, cold and worrisome end of a century. "Laisser tomber", even if generations ahead still collect the ruins of such tarnished moral. 

J'ACCUSE

I'm uncertain If I enjoyed the formal aspects of this movie. While the narrative choices, frames, art production and color were magnificent, I felt a certain disconnection between the movie's pace and the way audiences may perceive it. Music doesn't guide us, except for punctual transition scenes: so It is only there to wrap up a feeling (anxiety, sadness) and move on with the storyline. Though that's an aspect of commercial/ hollywoodian movies, here it is not enough to dictate a profound emotion audiences should feel. It got me thinking maybe Polanski didn't want music at all but was convinced by producers to at least put some. "J'Accuse" runs for two hours and fifteen minutes, written and spoken in French (we know that is an issue for audiences used to Hollywood-language), with no amount of visual acrobatics for a lazy audience to enjoy. It is a sober movie despite the terrible "cloudy" transition fades (those made me laugh) and Jean Dujardin's charming prince expressions. Don't get me wrong, he acted fiercely, but I can't help but smiling when he raises an eyebrow. On the sordid insertion of a feminino character, that depends on rapid and expressionless cuts to gain some more screen running time, I will say no more. Each one of us will know how to read the director's choices over the feminine body. With all that said, I hope I bite my tongue and "J'Accuse" reaches great and diverse audience; the racism, anti-semitism and blind obedience themes are always, unfortunately, heated.

DEGRADAÇÃO

Uma sala fria e desbotada, cheia de figuras humanas petrificadas. Imóveis, sofrendo violentamente. 

Bem, essa é uma maneira de se explicar o departamento de esculturas greco-romanas no Museu do Louvre, na França. E não seria uma questão de ignorância, de falta de educação em Artes; alienação e agressividade seriam as palavras-chave nesta análise. Eu escolho ser (e ficar para sempre, mesmo que posteriormente avisada) cega. Criticamente congelada e enganada, eu não vou ver o todo, só a lasquinha de mármore que me parece estranha. 

Quando Polanski decide colocar Picquart como nosso guia neste olhar filmado sobre o Caso Dreyfus, ele nos coloca na mudança de ponto-de-vista de um homem, antes como um anti-semita qualquer e então como um homem cuja vida seria profundamente magoada ao defender a honra de um judeu. Que nós sigamos a ascensão de consciência de Picquart quando ele entende que a vida militar lhe botou um óculos preto-e-branco do Bem e do Mal, é a maneira do diretor dizer que quer o filme além das questões históricas. Talvez tentando dizer: “atenção, existem muitos desses velhos homens por aí - aqui e agora”. 

Com a intenção de contar uma história sóbria de um passado que não se deve tornar futuro novamente, "O Oficial e o Espião" vai direto ao ponto: um capitão judeu é acusado de traição e perde sua liberdade por isso. Quando Alfred Dreyfus diz "vocês estão acusando um homem inocente", ouvimos o rugido da multidão gritando "mentiroso, traidor!", isso e o sorriso discretamente sarcástico de seus superiores. O ritual de despir um homem até então honrado é rápido e geométrico, breve o suficiente para o público entender que algo ali talvez não seja justo. Mas o visual de todo o filme aponta isso; a praça é cinza, mortificada por gelo e chuva. Soldados em posição são repetidos e miméticos. O ótimo trabalho da correção de cor faz os uniformes brilharem seus detalhes de ouro, vermelho e preto. A cena de abertura (ou, sinceramente, a maior parte do filme) poderia ser lida de modo foucaultiano: corpos institucionais prontos para vigiar e punir.

Quando se torna claro que o coronel Picquart procurará justiça, seu uniforme se torna mais frequentemente usado em tons de azul-claro acinzentado. Ele não está mais completamente protegido sob a guarda do Exército, mas nunca cessa de obedecê-la e seguir suas regras. Assim como Dreyfus; ambos respeitam ordens e hierarquias e crêem que essas podem (e vão) salvá-los. Acontece que isso é praticamente impossível porque, como coronel Henry diz convenientemente, "a mente de um soldado tem segredos que nem mesmo seu quepe poderá conhecer". O resultado é que preconceitos são justificados para se contornar erros; corpos dóceis escolhem manter seus fazeres doentios a fim de que se mantenha o status quo. Em 1894, o julgamento de Dreyfus deveria ter sido um sinal de alerta para a constante falha das instituições - e de como o anti-semitismo já era triunfante naquele mundo cinzento. 

Uniformes cor-de-sangue e hipocrisias se misturam em um frio, triste e aterrador fim de século. "Laisser tomber", mesmo que gerações posteriores ainda recolham as ruínas de uma moral tão destruída. 

EU ACUSO

Não tenho certeza se gostei dos aspectos formais deste filme. Enquanto as escolhas narrativas, direção de arte e cor são magníficas, senti certa disconexão entre o ritmo do filme e a maneira com que o público talvez o perceba. A música não nos guia, exceto por pontuais transições de cena: então ela está lá só pra finalizar um sentimento (ansiedade, tristeza) e seguir com a linha do tempo do história. Mesmo que isso seja um aspecto de filmes comerciais/hollywoodianos, aqui ele não é suficiente para ditar uma profunda emoção que o público deveria sentir. Fiquei pensando que talvez Polanski nem quisesse música mas foi convencido pelos produtores a ter pelo menos um pouco. 

"O Oficial e o Espião" tem duas horas e quinze minutos de duração, escrito e falado em francês (sabemos que isso é um problema para públicos acostumados com o idioma Hollywood), sem acrobacias o suficiente para o gosto de um público preguiçoso. É um filme sóbrio apesar de suas terríveis transições de fade "em nuvem" (eu ri) e o rostinho de príncipe encantado de Jean Dujardin. Não me leve a mal, a atuação dele é forte, mas não consigo deixar de sorrir quando ele levanta uma sobrancelha só. Sobre a inserção desprezível de uma personagem feminina, que precisa do auxílio dos cortes campo-contracampo para ter mais tempo de tela, nada mais direi. Cada uma de nós saberá como ler as escolhas do diretor sobre o corpo feminino. Dito tudo isto, espero que eu morda minha língua e que "O Oficial e o Espião" chegue num grande e diverso público; o racismo, anti-semitismo e a obediência cega são temas sempre quentes, infelizmente.

All In All

A Spiritual Reflection

___

By Simon P. Faison

Introduction

This is a pivotal time in human history. Where the choices of a select few (whether you believe its the so-called new world order or the superpowers) over the next few days and months shall, directly and indirectly, affect the shape of our very lives to its core.

Many of us now sit in a state of perpetual uneasy, worried about what tomorrow may bring or what new disaster the next news feed will bring cross our phone screens. Many are wondering if the government will pay lost wages to those laid off, will they help the small business owners who still have bills piling in pay they mounting dents, or is the economic recession they are talking about that is going to follow this really going to be worse or equal to the Great Depression?

Coming from a life that has experience some of the best and worst this world has to offer I can say this with a certainty that only years of experience and true study can teach you.

That when the winds of uncertainty sweep the world. It will not be the ones who first look outward and towards others for answers to the problems of the world, that will be able to rise above the chaos and survive in the coming storm.

It will be and always have been those who look first inward for answers to the fundamental problems of life. That is not only able to rise above the chaos and survive but are also able to drive the chaos back and lead humanity out of the darkness of despair of today and into the light of a better tomorrow.

Those are the ones who are remembered as sages, saints, prophets, and even revolutionaries. But what does looking inward have to do with solving the problems of our world?

Inward Looking

Now when I speak of looking inward, I’m not speaking of that inward-turning that makes one num to the world around them. Where the only thought is to self-service and self-preservation. This is a negative detachment from the world which is to the detriment of one's personal intellectual and spiritual well being.

The inward-turning or inward-looking of which I’m speaking of is of true inward-looking/introspection. Where you are not looking to drown out the world around by focusing exclusively on self to the point where the affairs and happenings of the world are only meaningful when they directly affect you or your perceived comfort. But when you looking truly inward past the false reality of this world and the manufactured reality of who you are perceived as but to the core of your very being and to the discovery of your true and immortal ”Self”.

This happens when you truly reflect on and ask yourself those tough questions like; who am I? why am I here?, Who is God? and just how can my life be better?

It is when you do this, true inward-looking, that you are able to tap into your true immortal ”Self”, known as your ”Higher Self. The human race has called this Higher Self many by things dependant on the culture and environment from the soul, Kia, chi, to Ba and countless other names. Though the names may be different the fundamental understanding was still the same. Our Bodies are but a shell the true essences of who we are is our ”Higher Self”.

Those Individuals and at times the human race as a whole, that were able to survive these moments in history and guide humanity through the chaos, did so by first doing by looking inward to finding the answers to the dilemmas that are within themselves first and tapping into their ”Higher School.”

The Higher Self

Why find the answers to the dilemmas within themselves first when the world around them is in chaos? To answer that it should be understood that the human body reflects the world around it.

Look at it this way when the environment around you is full of chaos and uncertainty your body reflects it within its self, in the forms of stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders as well as physical elements. And when you find yourself in an environment where it is stable and tranquil, your body then reflects this in the form of ease and relaxation.

The same also goes for when we look inward for the answers to survive the dilemmas facing the world. We must look inward first to face the dilemma within us then when we have settled those dilemmas within ourselves. Then we will be blessed with the wisdom to deal with the dilemmas of the world.

When we are truly looking inward and tapping into our Higher “Self”, we can't help but recognize that this same “Higher Self” that is when us is the same ”Higher Self” that is in the single mother who is trying to figure out how she will be able to work and watch her kids on a job that barely pays enough for her to even pay her bills, let alone feed her kids.

It is the same “Higher Self” that dwells in that old black woman at the supermarket, who when she was younger was spread by water hoses, beaten by police and attacked by dogs, for simply wanting to be treated with the same equal right and liberties as every other human being. Yet she will call the first white person she sees a cracker or a devil quicker than spit at them, without evening knowing anything about them.

And yes, it is the same also the same “Higher Self” within the rich man that knows every single tax loophole in the book and has enough generational wealth to ensure his descendants don’t ever have to struggle a day as he or his ancestors did. So he supports those who will vote on policies to protect his wealth. And feels that everyone should not let the circumstances of life hold them from achieving success, so he is against policies that make people dependent on the government instead of driven to rise above their circumstances.

The Lower Self

When you recognize this, it is then your looking inward turns not just you looking inwards to you into your personal being, the cloak if self falls away and it becomes a looking inward of all creation because you know, you are in All and All is in you.

And though one may understand the Universality of our ”Higher Self”, one must also recognize that there are a great many individuals who due to either; (a) where they are in their own spiritual journey or (b) the circumstances that have been thrust upon them by society. That the ”Higher Self” within them is engulfed and tired down by the fetters of Ego also known as the ”Lower Self” and is unable to recognize themselves as a part of the Universal All.

These are the individuals who are blown around by the chaotic winds of this world. They are dependent on those who they Lower Self tells them that have their personal best interest at heart to tell them how they should be and how they should act.

And then there are also those who intellectually know about the universality of humanity and all existence, but they have allowed their ”Lower Self” rule over their lives and turn a blind eye to the truth. This is because the ”Lower Self” refuses to acknowledge anything that will lower it's so-called sense of self-worth or make it acknowledge the self-sameness of others.

And though it is also recognized that those same individuals still are at their immortal essence the same ”Higher Self” like us and a dilemma they face is a dilemma I face, this is because we are fundamentally and spiritually the same being.

The All Is All

Everything in existence is but different aspects of one Supreme Being (God, Allah, Yahweh, Bondye, and Neberdjer, etc.) who is in all creation and in whom is all creation.

It is through this understanding we are able to come to the understanding of how by starting with a true inward-looking of themselves, that certain individuals and at times the human race were able to persevere and preserve through these pivotal moments in existence.

By first knowing, their true Divine ”Higher Self” as the ancient proverb states “Know Thyself”. Then through true self-mastery and discipline they were able to answer the dilemmas and questions within themselves. Then through actualizing and applying these newfound truths in their lives and through the guidance and teaching of others they helped them to also realize this True Divine ”Higher “Self”. This, in turn, leads to creation collectively gaining back rule from the fetters of Ego or the ”Lower Self” over the world and establishing the rule of the ”Higher Self” which through truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality, and justice leads creation to a new age.

Conclusion

This has been the path taken by all the great Sages, prophets, and messengers since time immortal. It was also the path taken by Gandhi, taken by Martin Luther King JR and taken by Malcolm X. Those who have walked this path have influenced and changed the course of the world time and time again.

So who is it in this generation and during these times of uncertainty will take up this path and yet again and lead this world through these dark days of chaos.

These are but the musing of a spiritual wayfarer who is still but sipping at the fountains of knowledge. May The God Of Your Heart bless and guide you to further enlightenment.

I leave as I came, With Best Wishes For Peace Profound.

LIGHT OF LIFE 105

John 1:4

DANGEROUS LIGHT 8 – GREED

Exo 19:21-22 The LORD said to him, "Go down and warn the people not to FORCE their way through the boundary to see the LORD, or many of them will die. Even the priests who are allowed to come near the LORD must SET THEMSELVES APART as holy, or the LORD will VIOLENTLY kill them." GW

Since we have perceived the concept of Electricity, which we are adopting, let’s adjust the Topic a bit, and now, let’s talk about GREED!

Again, I have said that the Electrical High Tension Cable that brings Power to our localities carry 33,000 volts (max.) but we only need 250 volts (less than 1% max.) per appliance, and some devices – like your phone – needs just 5 volts.

If the stabilizer is dysfunctional, appliances may receive waves of destructive flows that take them out one by one.

Let’s talk about prophet Balaam now and defects of giving anointing to a greedy person.

2Pe 2:15-16 They have left the straight path and have lost their way; they have followed the path taken by BALAAM SON OF BEOR, WHO LOVED THE MONEY HE WOULD GET FOR DOING WRONG and was rebuked for his sin. His donkey spoke with a human voice and stopped the prophet's insane action. GNB

Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against you because you have there those who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication. AFV

Firstly, take note that these scriptures are only using Balaam as reference, meaning that there are actually many like him all over the Ministries and in the church system.

Secondly, Balaam didn’t get the Prophetic anointing by his greed; he was gifted by God directly and only started “realizing” the possibility of making money with it later.

Num 24:4 This is the message of the one who hears the words of God, has a vision from the Almighty, and falls into a trance with his eyes open: GW

Thirdly, any Minister with defective motive is commonly hypocritical about his intentions, either not being aware of his own propensity to misbehave or being plain pretentious about it.

Num 24:12-13 Then Balaam said to Balak, Did I not say to the men you sent to me, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to go outside the orders of the Lord, doing good or evil at the impulse of my mind; whatever the Lord says I will say? BBE

Indeed, the only things such people do right, they are forced to do; they have no choice.

A greedy Pastor could fast & pray for days to get the anointing he wants to exploit with. He’ll go to any length to attain all “his resources” for “business”; even nefarious means.

Act 8:18-19 When Simon saw how the Holy Spirit was released through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he approached them and offered them money, saying, “I WANT THIS POWER TOO. I’M WILLING TO PAY YOU FOR THE ANOINTING THAT YOU HAVE, so that I also can lay my hands on everyone to receive the Holy Spirit.” TPT

Greedy people have no passion for righteousness at all. They only want control at all cost. Imagine Simon asking to pay for, and be the custodian of something that Holy.

Php 3:18-19 I often warned you that many people are living as enemies of the cross of Christ. And now with tears in my eyes, I warn you again that they are headed for hell! THEY WORSHIP THEIR STOMACHS and brag about the disgusting things they do. ALL THEY CAN THINK ABOUT ARE THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD. CEV

Greed is blinding! Or else, why would an unholy person be bold to connect himself to such Holy Fire, and yet hope to use it to pursue his vile motives and wicked intentions?

Ecc 8:11 Sometimes people are not immediately punished for the bad things they do. Their punishment is slow to come, and that makes other people want to do bad things too. ERV

Electrical Surges that damage equipment, don’t loosely happen. You may not get any surges in 30 years, but when it comes and there is no provision to arrest it, destruction follows.

In the same way, Lightening may not strike your high-rise building in 50 years, but it is better to have the Thunder Arrestor in place for whenever it may finally come.

But greedy people don’t really care what happens to even their own selves and families, talk less of others.

Pro 15:27 He whose DESIRES ARE FIXED ON PROFIT is a cause of trouble to his family; but he who has no desire for offerings will have life. BBE

Now it seems we are just hammering on Pastors/Ministers but we all must know that we are potentially Ministers of God (Rev 5:10), and anyone can be harmful to all, if greedy.

Now, how does Greed get to grow in a person and how much is the destructive impact he makes on the people? We will answer that next lesson.

May God himself, fill us to overflowing and may we be free from the strongholds of greed, in Jesus name, Amen.

Be back on Monday for more on this intriguing subtopic.

Keep Shinning!

What is keyboard and its button information

After all What is pc keyboardThe You will need to have used the keyboard. Because when you have used a pc or a laptop computer then you will need to have used a keyboard on your typing. But there can be lots of you who don’t have full information in regards to the keyboard. So to know these publish keyboard information these Hindi individuals can be very useful.

The keyboard is an enter machine. It is primarily used to enter instructions, textual content, numerical information and different sorts of information in a pc. In order to work together with a person pc, enter units resembling keyboard and mouse are used.

After this, these entered information is transformed into machine language in order that the CPU can perceive the info and directions which can be coming from enter units.

How is the keyboard linked to the pc?

If we speak about time first then PS / 2 or serial connector was used to attach the keyboard with the pc. But if I speak about now, then USB (common serial bus) and wi-fi connectors are used.

It is now very simple to attach them. The drawback of Wiress Keyboard is that on this we now have to alter the battery once more and once more. Otherwise it is extra moveable than different keyboards.

Keyboard varieties – Types of Keyboard in Hindi

There are many various kinds of keyboard layouts that are manufactured based on area and language. Today I’m going to inform you about these varieties.

this guy.. is annoying

i duod with him for a bit and it was like...... i mean that’s not the relevant part the point is HE NEEDS TO CHILL like it’s just he says things sometimes that are just like... he’s trying to teach me about the game and I’m like dude. I KNOW the fuckin game. like... i dont even know if he realizes how he’s coming off like that, and honestly I bet that he says these things because he perceives me as some girl who needs help learning the fuckin game and i’m like dude please stop...

he offered to give me VOD REVIEWS and i was like..................... no thanks......... and his response was “dont worry i like helping people” and i was like????? UR KIDDING RIGHT? YOU THINK I SAID NO CAUSE I THINK IT’LL BE TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR YOU??? FOR REAL??

i dont need ya goddamn help! holy... like dude.... I climbed from silver to dia last season like I KNOW how to play the fucking game........... like I don’t know if you noticed or not but I did finish at a higher rank than you so what kind of help do you think you can give me??? 

then i logged in yesterday and i mentioned how lulu is suddenly a top tier pick and this dude is like��“I told you she’s good again”

and i’m like BITCH WHAT? BITCH WHAT? YOU TOLD ME? YOU DIDN’T TELL ME SHIT god DAMN I recognized this MYSELF not to mention that she JUST started getting popular, literally like a couple of weeks ago she was barely played.. i mean she was picked on occasion in pro play but not THAT frequently until recently when she jumped up in priority you honestly did not tell me squat... literally i was just catching up on lcs games today and jatt was like “yeah lulu was barely seen until like 1-2 weeks ago and is now top pick” and i was like SEE? LITERALLY THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED LIKE EVEN JATT SAID IT LIKE OOOO MY GOD

and he just makes little comments like these here and there and i’m like.......... please stop trying to tell me what/how the game is going because i KNOW. i fuckin KNOW.

I also recognized that the recent/current meta is NOT for me so I decided to stop. you want me to break the game down for you??? then i will fucking break it down

1) snowball....... the game was so fucking snowbally. that made it SO hard for me as the support to do any shit when the rest of my team fell behind early. Like it just made it way way harder to do anything from behind. and the first tower gold was fucking ridiculous. i STILL feel like it’s too much even after they shaved off the 100g but that’s just me.

2) caster adcs.... i h a t e playing with caster adcs. everyone’s playing these goddamn lethality building caster adcs and it’s just jhin mf varus every fuckin game! my play style does not mesh with them at all and my lulu? my lulu hates em. I REALLY enjoy playing with aa adcs so much more, I play well with them and that’s probably also because I prefer playing those types of adcs myself so I’m more comfortable with them. unfortunately they weren’t meta & took way too long scale into relevancy w/ their needed stats being multiplicative and they simply existed as a walking bag of gold for literally every tank/bruiser/assassin.. so these long range casters w/ lethality were king

I also don’t like playing janna with those casters because I feel like janna is also better with aa-based adcs. shit’s a pain in the ass to play with casters!... karma might’ve been okay but i just wasn’t really feeling her, and I also felt she got outclasses in terms of lane poke by...

3) meta supports like malz and zyra.... lulu struggles into poke, janna even more so, but i wanted to hold out for after laning, however the game was already over like 90% of the time.. plus people don’t know how to fucking lane/trade with janna, i’m like you know we cant win that trade right???..... you know people don’t pick janna for her laning phase right??

i dont think janna is a bad pick in higher levels of play but where i was currently sitting + the different meta just made it not work. janna & lulu are more team dependent and i’ve found from personal experience that it gets SO much fucking easier once you reach a certain point and your team actually has the basics down and you actually have a team you can rely on.

ANYWAY.... the point is lane bully supps + casters = obnoxious as fuck PLUS the very snowbally meta just made the whole game awful to play for me, which is why i decided to stop for a while

4) also, riot’s balancing team is kind of garbage tbh. They release WAY overtuned items/champions and i’m just like the fuck? how did this shit EVER make it to live?? like are yall even reading the things you’re inputting or are you just closing ur eyes and smashing ur num pad? like honestly

they released some way overtuned shit in the recent months that they eventually nerfed and i’m honestly just like HOW DID THOSE THINGS GET RELEASED IN THEIR CURRENT STATE IN THE FIRST PLACE? oh also NINJA FUCKING TABI

they flew under the radar somehow but i recognized long ago that they’re fucking busted!! 30 armor + 12% reduction from aas?! for 1100 gold??!?!? DO YOU KNOW HOW CHEAP THAT IS.. you get a HUGE pile of stats for very little gold!!! LITERALLY I’VE BEEN SAYING HOW RIDICULOUS THESE ARE AND WHAT DO U KNOW? in the past week pros have started building them more incl them on fucking ezreal (ew i hate that guy) BECAUSE THEY’RE SO RIDICULOUS IN TERMS OF STATS VS COST LIKE COME ONNNNNNNN i said this months ago dude.. since the end of season 6 ive been talking about the sorry state of adcs and ninja tabi are just one of the reasons why..........

anyway.... like........ that was my super long league rant because like.. this dude was annoying me and like I KNOW how the fucking game works!!! i know how to analyze the fuckin game my dude & i did recognize a lot of these trends early on so please do NOT talk to me like u know better, once you can SHOW me you know better then come back AASDJFAS;LKFASKDFJ it’s just like “let me tell you about this thing even though you know about this thing” you know? that kind of attitude from guys just irritates me to no end

also it’s annoying because he bugs me to play and he wants me to play flex with him and his friends.... and i mean i think it would be good to get back and familiar with the game but also like ughhh can you leave me alone for like 5 secs.

i know it sounds like i really hate this guy but it’s just one thing that bugs me and he is like pretty nice it’s just i HATE being talked down to, like i REEEEEAAALLLLYYYYY hate it and that vod review thing really bugged me, so this is just bugging me disproportionately. it’s not like hes a mean or bad guy he’s just been kind of annoying recently, also just cause i’m annoyed doesn’t mean i’m above using him to climb if i need to, which hopefully i wont need to

it’s just like... can you talk to me normally instead of always trying to “””teach’”” me something??????????

Pillowtalk

They come to.  The serial killer is still talking.

“All evidence would seem to suggest that there really are five personality traits, although we have no prevailing theories as to why or how.  There just are, as far as the evidence shows, five.  Five separate things--and I’ll explain what I mean by “thing” in due course--that affect us each differently, and that in turn literally produce affect.”

“What are you planning to do to us?” blurts the head in the navy pillowcase.

“PLEASE DON’T INTERRUPT HIM!” begs the straw-colored pillowcase.

The serial killer considers Navy’s question.

“To be honest,” shrugs the serial killer, “I don’t really have a plan, per se.  I like to improvise.  I like to,” he swims a single contemplative hand through the air, “go with the flow.”

“You don’t have a plan?  So why even do this?”

The serial killer does something terrible to the person in the straw-colored pillowcase, and the person screams.

“I know right?  Can you believe that hurts so much?”  

Straw makes worried noises.

The serial killer relishes.

Navy presses on.

“Ah, so you were saying something about there being five personalities?”

“Five traits,” the serial killer corrects. “Thirty-two is the number of personalities.  Sort of, that is.”  The serial killer makes a face as though he’s just said something mildly but intolerably inaccurate.

“Two to the fifth makes thirty-two,” Navy thinks aloud.  

“What’s that now?” the serial killer asks, distracted.

“So I assume each trait can measure one of two ways?  And with five traits per personality that’s ... two-to-the-fifth possible permutations, no?”

Navy waits for the serial killer’s reply.  

Straw, meanwhile, slumps forward and quietly wretches.

The serial killer goes to put down whatever he was holding before and picks up something else.

Since the serial killer doesn’t answer, Navy goes on.

“But you’ll never get me to believe there are only thirty-two personalities.  People quite obviously aren’t that simple.”

“Correct,” admits the serial killer, already on his way back with a new toy in hand.  “Thirty-two’s just a heuristic.  But the reasoning behind the thirty-two is actually quite fascinating, if you’ll hear me out?”

“PLEASE DON’T--” shrieks Straw all of a sudden.  But whatever it is, the serial killer has already done it.  There is a brief utterance of disbelief from Straw.  And then screaming.

“You see, personality inventories--in their current state--are comprised exclusively of straightforward questions about your habits, preferences, and values.  You have to answer in a yes-no-always-sometimes-no-answer kind of format.”

“You can say ‘no answer?’”

“You can say ‘no answer,’ whenever you want, however many times you want.   The test will still give you a score.”

“I see,” Navy nods.  “So you're grading on a percentile basis.”

“But that was quick!” laughs the serial killer.  He gives Navy a noogie through the pillowcase.  “You do know your maths, don’t you?  Yes it’s all percentiles, meaning no matter how you answer a proper personality inventory it can still measure your results against others.”  The serial killer punctuates the last few words with some sort of repeated, violent motion in Straw’s direction.

“But then how can there be just the thirty-two personalities?  Percentile scores work on a continuum that’s as finely graded as the num--”

“I was getting to that,” grunts the serial killer.  Straw begins to make choking sounds.

“Oh, that wasn’t the ‘fascinating’ part?”

The serial killer furrows a single eyebrow. 

“Beg your pardon?”

Straw’s choking sounds quietly intensify.

“I mean I’m genuinely interested.”

The serial killer considers this a moment, and then resumes speaking.

“Whether you answer always or never to a question--”

“Or ‘no answer,’” adds Navy.

“Or no answer,” the serial killer rolls his eyes.  

Straw begins to thrash weakly about.  

“Regardless of how you want to answer, each item on the questionnaire is designed to score only negatively or positively.”

“’No answer’ scoring nil, then?”

"Do try to keep up,” sighs the serial killer.  “Lots of positive scores add up to high percentiles, meaning you are quite ... whatever you are ... while lots of negatives mean you are possessed of strong antitheses.  Scoring low or high, in short, tells you something quite clear.  Scoring averagely, however--which, it should please you to know, is how you might score if you put only “no answer” for every question--tells you something altogether unclear.  Because none of the items is designed to score averagely.”

“Ohh, I think I get it,” says Navy.  "Some items will always be designed to detect extraversion, while others will always detect introversion.  If you’re somewhere in the middle, however, there aren’t any items that describe you, and instead it’s a matter of you just giving mixed or lukewarm answers or whatever.”

“--it only means you score higher on extraversion than half of all people your same age and sex,” the serial killer clarifies, needing something he is explaining to remain at least partly in his control. 

Straw has at some point gone still.

“So while it is possible to score 'averagely,’ on a trait,” Navy revises, “and while it is by definition the most common score to get, there is technically no such thing as an ‘average’ behavior, belief, or--what did you say?”

“Preference,” answers the serial killer, eager to hear Navy finish his thought.

“--or preference ... that describes ‘averageness.’”

“Instead it’s ...?” the serial killer leaves the thought unfinished so Navy can carry it all the way home.

“... more like you’re just as apt to behave one way as the other.  It means ... you’re flexible.  Right?”

“Close enough.  Though I prefer the word ‘unpredictable.’”

“Hm, me too, now you mention it.”

“Or wishy-washy.”

“Oo, good one.”

They both share a silence.  

Straw is probably dead.

“And so thirty-two...”

“Yes, yes, because,” the serial killer waves his hands, “I mean, you've figured that out, haven’t you?”

“Right.  Sorry.  So despite the percentile grading system, we can only really measure positive or negative indicators, and thus for any given trait in any given instance we’re only able to perceive a person as behaving, believing, or preferring, say, extravertedly or introvertedly.  There is no observable in-between-vertedly.  Meaning ... two possibilities for any given trait, times two again for each remaining trait ... five traits ... totals thirty-two unique, perceptible five-trait permutations, erm, personalities.”

“Excellent, and bonus points for alliteration, but isn’t there anything else you’ve figured out?” quizzes the serial killer.

“Hmm...” Navy thinks hard on it.  “No.  There isn’t.  Not from what I understand of what you’ve told me.”

“Are you sure?”

Navy feels the serial killer preparing to do something potentially unpleasant.

“Are you going to hurt me if I’m wrong?”

“Of course!”

“Ah, well in that case ... yes, I’m sure.”

The serial killer hesitates.  Then he doesn’t do the unpleasant thing.

“Good answer,” the serial killer admits.

“But you haven’t asked me a certain really hard question yet,” guesses the person in the navy-colored pillowcase.

“Which is?”

Navy laughs sadly.  “No, that’s not it either.”

“How do you know I have further questions to ask you?”

“Because you’ve asked me countless already!”

“And now you’ve guessed the hardest one?” the serial killer swoons.  “The very hardest one?  I must admit I’ve always wondered what it is, myself.  I mostly just go with the flow, as you know.”

"Right.  You like to ‘improvise.’”

“I do,” nods the serial killer, and then he suddenly does the unpleasant thing.  

The pain is more than could have been anticipated.  Navy needs a moment to process it.  It is difficult with the pillowcase.

“My turn to talk,” says the serial killer.  And talk he does.
