I'm Still Restless
Last week we looked at St. Augustine's famous quote, "my heart is restless until it rests in you". And we looked at it in relation to Augustine's restlessness before his conversion to Christ. But the question came up this week, "what if I'm still restless as a Christian?", what then? Which leads to an interesting problem that all Christians have faced at one time or another, and if they're honest, they will continue to face, which is this: 'Why am I still restless?".
Restlessness looks different in different people, but in general, it looks like uncertainty, uneasiness, and discomfort with the way your life is going or with the outcomes of the plans you have made. It's worries, it's weariness, it's a constant back and forth on a heart level which can make life unbearable at times. Recently I left the barber with one of my sons and he complained the entire way home of the hair that was on his back. Every time he moved his shirt rubbed his back forcing these hundreds of tiny hair fragments to poke and prod his skin. He could barely sit still. He was restless the entire way home where he promptly took a shower. What then are some of the factors that make our own hearts rock back and forth in the Christian life…and what can we do about it?
- We Must Taste of Our Own Mortality
When we were first married, my wife and I used to go out for dates almost every weekend. Sometimes a romantic night out would turn dicey when we'd be driving in the car and there would be this ominous moment when both of us realized that we had both assumed that the other person had planned out the evening, which of course meant that neither of us had planned anything. So, we were essentially driving to nowhere, and the frustrations quickly mounted leading to a very restless evening. Such is the case in life when we don't have a clear sense of where we are headed in this world. Knowing the end, where we are headed, makes the journey there so much better.
Psalm 90 is a classic text to help us keep our end ever before us. In it, Moses contemplates God's greatness to his people over the years, and he contemplates God's greatness in creation, and he contemplates his own sin and misery, before he finally comes to a very clear conclusion. You might say that Psalm 90:12 gives us the key to living a very fulfilled life, and it's this, "Teach me to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." There it is! Knowing that one day it will all end helps us to plan and to prepare and to live well in this life. That's what a heart of wisdom is, it's a well-ordered life. It's a life that is prioritized and a life that is full because of that.
- We Must Take Account of Life
I think that about 95% of life is mundane. That is, the vast majority of life does not involve major events happening to us. Think about your average day? You get up, brush your teeth, get dressed, go to work, come home, eat dinner, walk the dog, go to sleep, and then you get up and do it all again. This is a fairly typical day for most of us living in the Western world.
I get the impression that the percentages were a lot different in ancient Israel. In other words, life was a lot less mundane for the psalmists at least, and that they had a few more major life events than we did (but maybe I'm wrong). In Psalm 43 we see the author open with a familiar refrain for God to rescue him, probably from another major catastrophe. Then in verse 5, we see him self-counselling himself by asking this question, "Why are you cast down, O my soul?" Here's a man who's restless. He's restless because somebody has wronged him (v. 2) and been unfair and unjust to him and his life, family, and cause, or whatever. So, he asks himself that ever probing 'why' question. And when he does, he gets an answer. The Psalm ends with, "hope in God; for I again will praise him, my salvation and my God."
What does it mean to hope in God? At first it kind of sounds like a very dismissive thing to say to somebody. "Go on, hope in God and things will eventually get better." Before dismissing this clause to the bin of played out Christian cliché, take another look at what the author is saying here. From what I can tell, hope is something that has to do primarily with equilibrium. If you've lost your sense of equilibrium you fall over all the time and can't remain upright. My dad tells the story about his time as a helicopter pilot in the Army and getting caught in a thunderstorm while returning from a mission. He quickly came down with that temporary pilot sickness known as vertigo; the number one killer of pilots, incidentally. As he describes it, your instruments are telling you that you're upright, but you know deep down in your guts that you're flying upside down and that you simply must right the ship. "It was just then", he said, "that the clouds broke just enough that I could see the horizon and my wits returned to me." This is essentially what the author of the psalm is meaning when he instructs you to hope in God. In other words, God is your horizon. He's your true north. He doesn't change…ever. The vertigo comes when you're too focused upon the big and the small things in this life, and that's when you start to fall. To hope in God then is to reorient yourself to his voice, that is, his promises that he makes to you. Notice what these are in this verse; praise, salvation, and possession.
Praise is another way of saying 'worship'. I will again 'worship' God. Buried in that word is a sense of 'return' and of 'repetition'. How are our hearts reoriented when we've become overly saturated with worldly cares? It's by returning to church, where we worship and praise God. Somewhere along the way Christians, by and large, have forgotten who's ultimately at work in our church worship services. Here's a hint: It's not you! You're not the primary player, the primary focus, or the primary participant in worship. God is, period. It's God who calls you there. It's God who moves mightily in worship. And it's God who is at work in you on Sunday mornings. That's the reason why it must be repeated, week in and week out. The world is cruel, the flesh is stubborn, and the Devil is powerful…that is why worship is so critical to you rightly understanding God's promises and putting them into practice in your life. It's God's prescribed means of healing your spiritual vertigo.
- We Must Rest Again and Again and Again…
Finally, this is going to sound so overly simple (and it is), but we are restless as Christians because we don't rest. For some reason, rest is seen as being lazy to a lot of us today. It's virtuous to burn the candle at both ends and to see how much you can accomplish in a day, a week, and a lifetime. More is always better, and I'm afraid as Christians we've given in to this worldly way of thinking far too often. I think it has something to do with our propensity towards works-righteousness; that we are somehow always striving to attain our own salvation, or at least to sweeten in in some way. But salvation is entirely one sided. It's Jesus' work alone that makes us right with God (Romans 5:1-2). It's Jesus' work alone that keeps us from going to Hell when we die. We must rest in him alone for our salvation. I'm not sure that we can be reminded of this enough!
And then once we've had our hearts re-formed and re-focused upon Christ, and are resting in him alone for salvation, then we can see, perhaps, that Christ actually commands us to take physical rest as well as spiritual rest. One day in seven is to be used for both physical and spiritual rest. And it's not that we work six days so that we can get that day of rest, but rather the opposite. We rest one day a week so that we might work the other six. It's the exact opposite of the 'working for the weekend' mentality that most of us have today. Yes, work is far more meaningful and far more fulfilling if we keep this in mind, and if we rest ourselves physically so that we might be well prepared for this work.
But there's one last thing I want to say about physical rest on Sunday's. No matter what your Sabbath routine looks like, it should always contain at least two things: 1) Church attendance, and 2) at least 30 minutes of solitude. I recall hearing a story once of a dying mother who called her rebellious teenage son to her death bed and made him promise her that he would spend 30 minutes a day in silence. And he did. And eventually he was converted by doing this. His mother knew that if her son was to hear the voice of God calling to him, he would need to block out the other voices around him in order to hear it. And that's what happened. And that's what needs to happen to us as well if we're to be less restless. We need to take the time, and make the time, to listen to God, and this means that we need silence to do it. We are bombarded each and every day by a million different voices that call to us from screens, and billboards, and newspapers, and you name it. Take time to be holy means take time to be quiet. And you might just be surprised at how much you hear when you do.

EnergyW The Hack
Cabir plushie. Enough said.
I would love that. Add it to the collector`s edition! =D
Cabir, huh? Is Ubi trying to promote a mascot?
I like the gargoyle, but people say they look too much like harpies...? I can clearly see te difference, even from afar.
I'm a man and love Cabir...
Better than Gremlins in my opinion
Well, I do like them too, but not THAT much... ;D
Great, i love golems! Just as i lost my hope for new content today you gave me these drawings, thanks guys :)
absolutely agreed, in my opinion this is the best golem in the whole M&M universe!
There's something wierd going on lately with all this femaling units. It's 7th part of Heroes saga, and there's never been a problem with it, and all the sudden we get druid females(!), djinn and now Gargoyle. So what's next? Titan? Ogre? Lich?
I've never looked up onto unit, what sex is it, but I gotta say it's strange to go from one into another. I can understand dijin as they used to be female upgraded unit, but Gargoyle? Noo, but to make druid a femal that's jst silly!
gargoyle always have been female, so relax
Druid must be male !
+1 Druids should be male. Save the Druids!!!
yeah i also want druid to be male.
Guys, druid don't need to be a female. It was just an art from the old M&M titles. I suppose, it was from Heroes V, they printed it on one guidance about creatures. Druid's sex is still unknown. But I'd rather see male too. Because he would look awesome! ;D
1. Druids are a class of educated Iron Age Celts. Can be male or female. Druid females have been done before, nothing new.
2. Djinn can be depicted as literally anything.
3. Gargoyles are statues. Statues can be anything.
4. Titans are a mythical race, can be male or female.
5. Who honestly cares about ogres gender?
6. Lich is a decaying copse/skeleton. The one in 5 was wearing a metal hoop dress implying its female, pretty much all other liches look neutral.
Ubisoft, let's make a trade. Make Assassins and Stalkers in Dungeon female in exchange for Druids and Djinns to be male. That way, you'll make both the smart people and feminists happy.
smart people and feminists in the same sentence?
that's why I made them separate. Anyone who's not smart is a feminist. ^_^
oh. lmao.
I got a better deal. Make either the stalker or assassin female (but not both) and keep the djinns and druids female...
Female stalker
I have to say I agree with Jeremiah, Djinn should be male. And the Druids also. Sylvan already has 2 female units + Moon doe :P
Maybe, but a male stalker like in heroes V could be nice...
I still like the idea of having the djinn and druid female better...
Why the hell would you care what gender they are, so long as they look good. Having the Djinn male in H5 didn't do it any favours, it looked like garbage. Reasonably minded people don't even look at what gender it is. It is only sexists and feminists that look at gender. I couldn't give a flying firetruck about what gender they are so long as they look good.
how about we make the Assassins, Stalkers, Druids and Djinns male? Assassins and Stalkers are suppose to be intimidating, druids has always been male in the lore and djinns has always been male.
Not always. originally in the arabic lore they could be both female and male. I go with what I find the most fitting...
@Dalollr You serious? Well I haven't actually seen djinn artwork, but on battlefield it's just a small blue blur at least... I suppose it could be cool looking if I could see even the gender without squinting my eyes... I really hope they'll make it a bit bigger or the form sharper as I can barely see anything other than blue blur :(
So, do you agree with me that feminists are sexists? (well, that sounds awkward. feminists and sexist are synonyms. But anyway...)
Do you mean that with no hint of sarcasm or mockery?
Sure, the unit can look no matter what gender they are. But I dislike the leaked artwork of H7 djinns. It simply lacks the epicness.
This one from DoC looks much cooler to me : http://mmdoc.cardgamerobot.com/img/cardimages/Sins%20of%20Betrayal/captivedjinn.jpg
Oh man! That is so cool! Sadly, we won't get that because of some feminist quota. At least we have the mages, rakshasas and titans though. They better be good or JEmo will be unhappy.
DaLollr is not serious. He's trolling. I've seen the artwork and H7 Djinns are nowhere near epic no matter what taste you have even if you're a hardcore feminist.
The Djinn art work on the Academy page looks better than the DoC version. It looks more like a titan or blue human than it does a djinn. And the H5 version? What the hell was that? I wouldn't say it's the best artwork of all creatures, but it's the best djinn artwork. It's the only one that actually looks like what it's suppose to be.
Besides, they might do what they did with H3 genies and master genies.
Regarding the Druid, I would like him to be more agressive, to represante the "anger of nature". And male fits this role better. Females should be healers and we all know the story of healers in H6 :P
THIS is a true Druid for me :
( Finding this pic was a real pain btw :P )
"Regarding the Druid, I would like him to be more agressive, to represante the "anger of nature". And male fits this role better"
Well you're being equally offensive I suppose haha.
Wow man, you're on a role! Just remove the polar bear and leaf jacket (makes him look like he's in a cold environment), and you have one perfect Druid. Man, that Druid would be my favorite creature in H7.
H5 Djinns are a million times better than H7 Djinns. = fact.
Also, I'm a man and I'm not offended with what RRick said. Men representing anger is deemed as cool which is perfectly accurate. It's one of the reasons why Blade Dancers tanked Sylvan fury's victory.
Well, it´s actually the Elven King Arniel from M&M Compedium book. So that polar bear ( fox ? ) is there just to make him look noble. And being this art from M&M is also the reason why I don´t want the Druids to be female - because we can have something like this ! The most badass Druid of all time :P
"druids has always been male in the lore and djinns has always been male. "
Actually in the first Heroes game they had a 'wise woman of the woods' look. In the second game they were too ambiguous to say one way or the other. Third and fourth games they were a class of hero (both male and female), I'm fairly sure druid was a Sylvan hero type in V too but I honestly can't remember. It has NEVER been male only and thus it really doesn't matter what gender it will be.
Putting "= fact" after an opinion does not magically turn it into a fact. It just makes you look like an idiot.
Also could someone explain why druids apparently need to be aggressive and angry? Druids were educated Iron Age Celts. They would be religious leaders, doctors, intellectuals etc. Why would they be angry? Its like wanting the Haven Chaplain to look really aggressive, it sounds silly. I think most people imagine druids as being pretty chilled out...
Yeah I know and H1 and H2 also had its flaws. When I say traditionally I meant the world lore, not Heroes history.
@ Anemesis, Jeremiah and co. do not respond to logic, only paranoia.
"H5 Djinns are a million times better than H7 Djinns. = fact." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH..........oh wait you are serious.......
i prefer djinns and druids to be male
i am ok with female gargoles their atwork is nice
I agree with Jeremiah with the djinns. I think h5 djinns were better than h7 seen so far. To me h5 djinns were the best so far(I liked that they didn't go just for classic look, but gave their own take on it) followed by h3&h4 fairly even, both better than h7 djinn. I believe they'll work on the djinn though, but the current one is pretty bad. I do like the DoC picture of djinn better, but neither seem anything special to me.
PS Nice druid picture RRick btw (I'm ok with female druid though).
@JeremiahEmo: "When I say traditionally I meant the world lore, not Heroes history." That's funny because I was quoting Esther, confirms its one of your accounts as suspected. Seriously how many accounts do you have to back yourself up and give you little pats on the back? Also H2 was amazing.
@KhanOfSlaughter: True, but its quite entertaining
H2 djinn was my favorite too I think its the best so far
That's true! But so ugly
A bit flashy, but still better than the simple look of the H5 stone gargoyle.
Not like a real gargoyle
In Heroes 3 Grgoyles was better. But that is a matter of taste.

там ещё момент прикольный есть...когда старик с капюшоном на аргане играет (вылетый Некромант маг...чуть ли не Сандро) )))

yes )
Старик с органом похож на нынешнего капеллана. И латники есть как раз у Альянса. А у скелетиков доспех как раз поскромнее. Но я в любом случае рад исходу.
кстати шлем у воинов легкой пехоты крестоносцев - копия арбалетчиков из H6
и тяжелая пехота чем то латников напоминает...согласен есть сходство )
I must say I love the new Egyptian look of Academy =) It just suits them so well! Also I first thought that the Cabir unit was silly... But now it seems totally in place and it is something original, so that`s great! I simply love the Gargoyles, they`re just amazing (and so much better then the ones in H5!). Well the Golems are ok... I was never fascinated by this unit, but here it is nice and it fits well with the other two. So for now I`m very pleased by what I see =) Keep it up!
yeah, the style of Academy as Egypt is good, but if we look from mechanic unity, they look a bit of "atlantis", the titan have a greek style. is just my opinion.
"Did you know the correct plural of Cabir is actually Cabeiri?... Cabirs have a tendency to..." cracked me up :D
Wasn't sure about the gargoyles but the color scheme just made them awesome. It's almost alien/cyborg compered to the rest medieval-ish creatures (in the game). Underlines the Wizards unique way of thinking in my opinion. Good call devs!
haha I noticed that ''Cabirs'' too ^^;
Also, i think golems should be stronger than avarage core units, this can be balanced by making them more expansive and/or decreasing their weekly growth. Let me explain why: golems are constructs made of stone we all agree on that now think golem vs sentinal, poking a stone construct with a spear is a very unefficent way to destroy it try tearing down a wall with a pointy stick and you'll understand what i'm talking about. Therefore golems need to be stronger and more expansive to balance it.
Like the golems in heroes 3, I mean the diamond or the gold one ^^; So hard to kill..
Agreed. We'll see what the devs can make out of a 3 tier system, though...
Also, I guess the word you were looking for was 'expEnsive'? ^^'
Yep this core-elite-champion system has its disadvantages regarding situations like these and yes i tried to write expensive; typos happen :)
Depends on if that stick is enchanted, or not...
btw, I personally look forward to training two champion units in the game.. Sounds so interesting.. We only had one top-level unit in the past..
I don't think wolf,griffin or whatever duchy has enough resources to enchant every spear of all sentinals ;)
I doubt golem will be much different from sentinel for example. Sure it can have lower growth and higher stat, but in weekly power it will most likely be same level just like units were in h6.(I really hate the crappy 3-tier system)
@hierophant you will pick 1 champion. To build them both you need 2 towns or destroy/rebuild part of your town to choose another champion.
" I don't think wolf,griffin or whatever duchy has enough resources to enchant every spear of all sentinals ;)"
Can't possibly comment without knowing the resource cost of that to begin with... just pointing out that being made out of rock doesn't mean they're necessarily going to be very resilient.
Yes, it's gonna pretty tough decision - whether to go with both champs and have diversity but less room in the army or with greater numbers of the one champ that you choose? Well, at least it's gonna be like that on those maps where we will actually have 2 towns of same race;)
Well of course being made out of stone is not very protective if you are against a dragon or a cyclops but it is or at least it should be protective if your are against regular humans with spears.Btw, my argument about enchanted spears was just a little joke, no need to take it very seriously but i still think haven-not a faction known for its enchanting abilities is able to produce so many enchanted spears, still we are talking about a fictional game so everything can happen :)
Personal point of view, one champion unit for rush and two for a long game on huge maps ^^;.. I'm actually questioning if there's enough room for all the units to be on the battlefield!! Those units take at most 10 unit areas for each row..But a huge battlefield means small creatures as the camera will be too far!!
I agree, based on the picture of the golem, it looks like they should be either a large one square unit or a 4 square one and should be midway between core and elite in power and growth. They should also be very slow like in 5 but also pack a punch and be able to take a good number of blows. In my mind, their job should be to block an area and make sure the ranged units never get seriously threatened.
It seems the community is divided in two parts; English speaking people and Russian speakers, i suggest installing some kind of translator on the page :D
We all need ability of editing our messages and momental appearance of messages with no F5 or Ctrl+R
Agree with Kaanzakin. We must understand each other.
(Although I think if we can translate russian we should translate some more language.)
Making the wizard a 4 tile unit over the golem would be a bad idea IMO
The Titan can stil look bigger by being wider and taller so they don't look similar in strenghth
Yeah, it doesn't seem like a good idea, hope at least they're gonna be a strong unit
I expect to see Golem nowhere else than in Core and Apprentice nowhere else than in Elite =)
Me too...?
I'm just talking about the size of the unit.
Oh I misunderstood
is could be just a question of "power Inside" than the side, the precision and the material used to make stronger for titan
This Academy is simply amazing. In all Heroes games Academy was always one of the most beautiful and best designed factions (here I mean not only units but also townscreen and musical theme) and this one is not exception.
Nice to see that this army never disappoints (in HoMM 5 I do not like some units but others are so amazing, the thme and town are so magic that I can forget some minor issues)
How can it disappoint? Same line up since h3
when sth is good, you do not change it. And Academy is simply fantastic!
+ new unit in form of cabir, he is not the same as gremlin
+ other designs
Academy is similar in lineup to HoMM 3 and HoMM 5, not since cause in MoMM 4 it was different and in M&M: Heroes 6 there was no Academy at all so return of this faction in her old shape is well welcomed
And as discussions have proven, many people hate any changes and some want them. It is impossible to satisfy everyone
As both an Academy fan and an Egyptian, I approve.
Why do you people even care what gender the units are (or resemble) - it doesn't change anything but their appearance. If suddenly medusa or dryad or any other traditionally female creature was to become male I wouldn't care, as long as it would look good. Nobody's arguing about gender of dragons, hydras or the undead, and yet they could be all male, or all female or whatever and it doesn't change a damn thing.
I can't possibly comprehend what kind of paranoia makes people so obsessed about it.
well, the thing is, Chiasa, there are certain look-and-feel benefits you get from having a male or female creature. For instance Titans. They're suppose to display power, dominance and massive. A female titan could never deliver that. That is why Titans should always be male. Medusas, well, it would be awkward to have a male Medusa. It would be like having a female Thor. Oh wait, the feminists destroyed that already. Anyway, if the creature should display elegance or beauty, it should be female.
Just to be clear, I'm not expressing my desire to turn aforementioned creatures male, just indifference about this particular aspect of their design. They could as well turn all the line-ups female and I wouldn't mind as long as they didn't all look like they forgot to get dressed (I'm looking at you Furies & Matriarchs)
"For instance Titans. They're suppose to display power, dominance and massive. A female titan could never deliver that."
Says who? They can make Orc women look intimidating, they can make dwarf women be intimidating, and they can do the exact same for a female titan, if they chose. Just because your petty mind can not accept it doesn't mean it can't happen.
Besides, pretty sure titans don't have genders.
Well as for the titans, I loathed H5 titans because they looked all oiled up and silly, golems though were cool. But if there is a good, feminine design for druids or whatever i would love it just to get something different.
"I wouldn't care, as long as it would look good" and that´s the problem. Most of the female units in Heroes games are displayed as beautiful and innocent. And some units should look more "evil". I dont care about units like sword(wo)man, priestess, archer etc. But if they make the Druids female, it won´t be a Druid anymore, but just another beauty woman. The only cool female units in Heroes game was the Shadow Matriarch :P
You seem to be interpreting the word 'good' to mean beautiful. Which is wrong. To look good, it needs to be 'good' in the way it is meant to be. If it's a badass unit and it looks badass whether it's a male or female, then it would look good.
So to say, Im all okay with female units to be the part of the army AS LONG AS ALL OF THEM DOESN´T LOOK THE SAME. The female units shown so far are there just to join the beauty contest ( except the Justicar which is wearing a helm ! (Y). And that´s the only reason I´m against more female units. If they will make them differ from each other, and make some of them look more agressave ( for ex. the Sucubbus which was just another pretty woman in H6 ), I have no problem with female units.
Yup, I when i said "look good" I didn't mean beautiful, I meant fitting to their role and faction. Like H6 centaurs, I wouldn't call them pretty, but they were awesome, same for H5 minotaurs, or druids. I don't expect units to be beautiful, regardless of their gender, just their looks to match their faction, stats etc
If they wanted to? Man, that's where you are wrong. Ubi or Limbic can make a female Orc that displays power but the problem is that will it stir the imagination of their audience? Will it be well-received by their audience?
The thing is, our "petty little minds" have standards. The powerful Orc female thing is a risk w low % of success.
And also, we're not arguing whether Titans are biologically male or female here. We all know that. It's the look and feel we're talking about.
"Ubi or Limbic can make a female Orc that displays power but the problem is that will it stir the imagination of their audience?"
Yeah it will because the vast majority of people aren't narrow-minded sexists.
female Druids could never serve the role of Druids. We need to have male Druids, period. We already have 3 female units in Sylvan: Pixies, Dryads and Moon Does. Yes, it's one of the reasons why I voted for Sylvan's Fury. I figured that since there are too many naturally female units, they won't feminize the three best creatures of Sylvan: Blade Dancers, Hunters and Druids.
Well I don't care whether they're female or male. The devs will make it fill the role it's suppose to no matter what gender. Get over it.
I wouldn't call these people sexist just because they differ from your opinion. The idea is based on the look and feel which isn't offensive at all. The only people offended by it are the ultra sensitive-type, and that's not the opinion-maker's problem.
listen to KhanOfSlaughter devs! There are always two sides to the equation. One side wants male Druids, the other doesn't care if they're male or female. Apparently, you can make both sides happy by making Druids male.
So, I guess easy decision for you guys. ^_^
@JeremiahEmo: "female Druids could never serve the role of Druids" And I'm sure you have a good argument for this, right? Because for now you reasoning is blatantly sexist withou any logic in it.
"I wouldn't call these people sexist just because they differ from your opinion" they are completely free to have a different opinion, but this don't make them less sexist.
I do have an argument. It's that Druids has always been male in the lore. And no, not Heroes history. I'm talking about the world lore.
Also, I've always thought of sexism as negative stereotype or prejudice. My opinion of females not being good druids, well, already been explained but still. There are creatures that are good as male (druids, titans, etc) and there are creatures good as female (dryads, pixies, etc). If you're offended by that then you're just ultra sensitive.
"I do have an argument. It's that Druids has always been male in the lore"
Lets look at the description for druids in 5...
"The druids are the priests of Sylanna, Elemental Dragon of Earth and living embodiment of Nature. As such they are granted control over the magic of the elements, which they call upon in times of peril."
It says priests, priests doesn't necessarily mean 'only male' as it can be used to refer to priests and priestesses as a collective. Can you reference where this is said?
@JeremiahEmo: We already have female knights, and in H5 there was one female hero(Dirael) who was specifically stated to be a druid, Ashan factions can be based on Historical societies, but at the same time they are different since they belong to a different world. "world lore" doesn't matter here , this is Ashan and in its lore we already have female druids, your argument is invalid. And I'm not "ultra sensitive" this arguments is just too idiotic, maybe I had too much faith in humanity.
Cabirs are nice, but on gameplay they looked too big. Will they stay this way?

VALPARAISO — Bond has been set at $2,500 cash for a 41-year-old Highland man accused of fondling a 14-year-old girl Saturday during a birthday sleepover at her friend's house.
Joshua Johnson had not yet bonded out of the Porter County Jail as of late Tuesday morning, according to police.
If Johnson does not bond out by Thursday, Porter Superior Court Judge Roger Bradford will hold an initial hearing via a video conferencing call between his court and the jail.
If he posts bond earlier, he will be required to show up in court for an initial hearing that has yet to be scheduled, according to the court.
Johnson has no prior criminal offenses from Porter County, according to court files.
He was charged Monday with felony counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, child solicitation and sexual battery, according to court records.
The 14-year-old girl told police she was sleeping at 6 a.m. Saturday on a basement couch at her friend's house in Washington Township when she was awakened by Johnson fondling her and trying to kiss her, police said. The girl said she rolled over and pretended to go back asleep in an attempt to make it stop, but sat up when the abuse progressed.
"I'm sorry, I'm attracted to you," Johnson reportedly told the girl. "You're so (expletive) cute."

Johnson then proposed to perform a sex act on the girl, police said. When the girl refused, Johnson reportedly apologized for being drunk and offered to let her punch him in the head.
The girl left the room and sent a text message to her father, saying, "dad please be awake."
When her father replied, "Yes," the girl wrote, "Don't call. this guy josh. He's um drunk and he woke me up. And he was trying to do something bad," according to charging documents.
Johnson, who knew someone at the house and is a father, was found by police sleeping on the floor next to the couch where the alleged abuse occurred and a short distance away from another "younger female," according to charging documents.
He said he had been drinking alcohol and playing cards the night before, and said nothing happened between him and the girl, police said.
"He emphasized without my asking that nothing 'sexual' happened because 'that's a minor' and he described himself as a 'boy scout father,' police wrote in charging documents.

With the release of Node 11.7, the worker_threads module becomes a standard feature and is no longer hidden behind the --experimental-worker switch. The worker_threads module allows developers to run JavaScript asynchronously in light-weight, isolated threads contained within the main Node process. This article will be focusing on how use worker threads to execute a task asynchronously and stream data from that task back to the rest of your Node application using RxJS Observables.
Case-sensitive import statements in TypeScript
I ran into a tricky TypeScript build issue with an Angular app that would build successfully on a Windows 10 machine but failed to build on a Linux machine with a "Cannot find module" error. The cause of the problem ended up boiling down to a single case-sensitive character, "X" instead of "x".

NPM Can Do That?
I have been using the NPM package manager for a few years and watched it rise, almost fall (to Yarn) and evolve into a fast, full-featured package manager and much more. Along the way there are a few simple tricks that have saved me a bunch of time.
Building a Node Module That Connects to DB2
The NPM registry contains many Node modules that help you to connect to a wide variety of databases including MySQL, Oracle, Mongo and even IBM DB2. This article demonstrates how to write a very simple Node module that connects to DB2 using the ibm_db Node module provided by IBM.

125 years ago with St.Therese: "Song of Gratitude to Our Lady of Mount Carmel," July 16, 1894
July 16, 1894 was the 26th birthday of Sister Martha of Jesus, a lay-sister who entered three months before Therese. This birthday furnished the occasion for Therese's seventh poem, "Song of Gratitude to Our Lady of Mount Carmel." The poem takes its inspiration from the circumstances of Sister Martha's life.
One of the best ways to understand Therese's way is to get to know the women with whom she lived in Carmel. Learn more about the young woman who lived close to Therese for nine years:

Every office and building is different so how do you know that the janitorial service you have hired is doing everything you need them to? First of all you should have a specific list of what you need done when you are hiring a janitor that you can spot check to be sure that each item is being taken care of to your satisfaction. You also should have a price that is agreed upon based on the amount of work that is needed in your building. Let's talk about how the price is decided.
D&M Carpet Cleaning has prepared this guide to how pricing is determined:
1. Pricing should not be a set amount on a chart. Not all offices are the same size and need the same type of work. You need to be able to decide an amount that is best for your space and be sure you are not paying more than you should be. You need to find a company like D&M Carpet Cleaning that offers customized service … and customized pricing to match!
2. Square footage is a big part of what makes up the price, but it is not the only thing. Another factor can include the amount of bathrooms and how big the kitchen is. If the company only asks for the square footage you may not be getting the price that works for you.
3. The person that is giving you a quote should see the location. If they are able to give you a quote without seeing it then they are probably not working on a unique option for you.
4. They also should want to know what type of work is done in the office. There are differences depending on what you do. If you are any type of a medical facility the cleaning will be different then if you were building wooden shelves. Each type of business has a different set of standards that are needed to clean it appropriately.
What Work are the Janitors going to Perform?
After you have hired a company and you are ready to have them start, you should know what work it is that they are going to be doing. When you made arrangements and prepared a contract they should have outlined the specifics of what would be done. Janitors will normally clean bathrooms and kitchen areas. They will remove any trash and add new liners. They will care for the floors whether that is vacuuming or mopping as well as dust and wipe down most other surfaces. Any specialty items can be talked about prior to the start of the contract. Call D&M Carpet Cleaning for a free consultation and estimate today!

text: Gibson's Passion Tom Piatak - FEBRUARY 02, 2004 PRINT PAGE | SEND TO FRIEND Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ opens in theaters on Ash Wednesday (February 25). It is too early to tell whether Gibson has achieved his aim of creating an artistically compelling account of the last 12 hours of Christ's life that is also faithful to the Gospels, although those who have previewed the film are nearly universal in their praise.
