Ekphrasis undergoes a decisive shift in Nathaniel Hawthorne and his contemporaries. Whereas Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and other seventeenth- and eighteenth-century writers (John Dryden, Alexander Pope) distinguished between verbal and visual arts through metaphors of realms and boundaries, Hawthorne twists the genres together again, as do John Keats and Robert Browning. Snakes in The Marble Faun, vines in The Blithedale Romance, and the A in The Scarlet Letter are tangled figures that at once image both the relationship between the genres and the newly powerful nature of relationships between persons. Similarly, the fullness and the insecurity of friendship are conveyed by verbal pictures that borrow a sense of plenitude from the visual arts even as they fail to achieve the direct presence of those media. An analysis of words and images in The Token, the gift book in which so many of Hawthorne's early tales first appeared, suggests that to read ekphrasis attentively in Hawthorne is to read the idiom of the interpersonal realm. Ekphrasis thus emerges not as a timeless figure to be cherished only by formalists but as a powerful tool for the historian, a moment that compresses into a single figure a culture's fictions of affiliation and estrangement.

Sonny Walkthrough
Sonny is an engrossing and addictive turn based adventure game that challenges you to battle with a wide variety of characters as you try to stay alive. While many turn based adventure games give you back stories filled with all manner of details, this one goes the other way with it. You are playing as a character named Sonny, but you learn very little about who you are in the introduction. Basically, you learn that you're on a ship. This is apparently a bad ship. You don't know how you got there. You know that you were killed but you don't remember how. In fact, you don't even remember your name. The name you go by (Sonny) was given to you by Louis the Blind - the man that brought you back from the dead. Louis asks if you can walk and then informs you that you will need a weapon. You grab a pipe and the game begins. One of the most appealing things about this back story is that it is so mysterious. As you play, the story unfolds adding a whole new level of intrigue to an already intriguing game. You not only enjoy the game, but you enjoy the story as well, which is what makes this one so appealing to such a wide variety of players.
The basic premise behind Sonny is actually pretty similar to the basic premise behind most of the other turn based adventure games online but at the same time, it's also much different and a little more complex than what some players will be used to. The basic goal of the game is to make it through each level to reach the boss at the end of each zone. Find a way to take out that boss so you can move on to the next zone where you will do the same thing. Continue until you've conquered all of the zones and emerge victorious.
The first thing you'll do in Sonny is select your 'class'. Your class determines you battle style and your strengths and weaknesses in battles. There are four classes to choose from: Destroyer, Guardian, Assassin and Gunslinger. The Destroyer class is all about strength and endurance. It's primarily a physical melee class. If you choose Destroyer, you have the option of playing either as a survival character or an offensive character where you will primarily attack. Guardian is a very versatile class. It offers many different styles of play and offers high survivability. The Guardian class is a hybrid class that is focused on both strength and magic. The Assassin class is fast and offers high burst damage, but it is also not able to take much damage. Like The Destroyer, Assassin is primarily a physical melee class. The Gunslinger class is an excellent option, but like the Assassin class it is able to take very little damage. It is a primarily magic based class, able to cast deadly spells that inflict significant damage on enemies. Characters in the Gunslinger class are also able to take advantage of several special abilities making them even more effective soldiers. Which class you choose will be entirely up to you.
With your class selected, it's time to begin playing the game. Sonny isn't really all that complicated, especially when compared to many of the other turn based adventure games online. First off, the game is played entirely with the mouse so you don't have to worry about complicated keyboard navigation or keyboard shortcuts, although you can skip intros and instructions using 'space'. Until you're really comfortable with the game and how it's played, though, I would recommend letting all of the intros and instructions play through. There is a lot of valuable information you don't want to miss out on. In all honestly, though, the actual mechanics of the game are pretty simple. You click on the character you want to interact with and choose the action you would like to do to that character. You only have one move per turn so make sure you choose wisely. You can also choose to skip your turn. In reality, the most difficult part of this game is understanding the game screen. There is a lot of information there you need to pay attention to. If you don't know what is used for what and when you should use it, you'll find yourself in trouble.
The basic battle screen in Sonny isn't really all that hard to understand. You have the status bars of every character on the screen at the top of the screen and your game options at the bottom of the screen. At the very center of the bottom of the screen, you'll see a gray colors circle around an exclamation mark. You cannot make a move while that circle is gray. Instead, you must wait for the circle to turn blue. You can also choose to skip your turn by clicking the exclamation mark or to exit the game by clicking the red 'x' at the top right corner of the box containing the circle. It's pretty simple stuff. Between levels, things get a bit more complicated.
What really sets Sonny apart from other games in the genre is the 'roaming' mode. While in roaming mode, you're offered the chance to customize your character so that you're ready for the next battle. There are two swirling indicators in roaming mode, a blue one and a red one. Clicking the blue one will take you to the item store where you can purchase and equip yourself with various items with money you've earned during battle. You are also able to sell or delete items from your inventory here as well. Before you buy anything, hover your mouse over the item you want to buy to check out the stats for the item. Ask yourself what it improves and how much it costs. Compare that with items you're already equipped with. If you have enough money to purchase something but it doesn't really offer much of an improvement over what you already have, don't waste your money on it. You'll need to conserve money for later in the game. The red swirl will take you to battle. Don't go to battle until you're sure you're ready. Take your time. Rushing will get you nowhere in this game.
You'll notice the options at the bottom of the screen in Sonny are different in roaming mode than they are in battle mode. You have new icons that you can click on to take you to new screen. Knowing what those screens are used for is important. The first icon at the bottom left of the screen in roaming mode is the 'inventory' icon. The inventory screen shows your character and the items your character is equipped with on the far left of the screen. Below your character you'll see how much experience you have. Below that, you have the unit icons. If you have more than one active unit, you can click on different icons to view the stats of the different active units. If you have empty equipment slots, you can also equip your character through the inventory screen, but you must already have the item you want to equip your character with. If you don't, you'll have to go to the store and purchase it. The items you're currently holding in your inventory will be shown on the right side of the inventory screen. In the center of the inventory screen, you have the basic stats about your character. You can see in a very clear and easy to understand way exactly how your character stacks up in vitality, strength, magic, speed and focus. Equipping your character with different items is one way to boost some of these areas depending on the item you equip your character with.
To the right of the inventory icon, you have the 'abilities' icon. This is there you will go to check the status of your abilities and equip new moves for your character to use during battle. This is also where you will go to use your upgrade points. Each time you level up in Sonny, you will be given upgrade points you can use to make your character stronger. It is absolutely vital that you use these upgrade points wisely. If there is a particular area of your character that needs to be improved, focus on using your upgrade points to improve that specific area. Upgrade points are separated into two categories; ability points and attribute points. Attribute points can be used to improve your character's vitality, strength, magic or speed while ability points can be used to unlock new abilities. All of the abilities you can unlock are shown on the left side of the abilities screen. Again, its important to use these points wisely. Hover your mouse over each ability to learn what it does and how it can help you. Be selective. Once you've decided which ability you want to equip, click on it. The ability will now appear on the right side of the screen in the box below your 'combat action bar'. You need to click on that ability and place it onto the combat action bar to be able to use that ability during battle. You can choose to "re-spec" (clicking on the purple icon at the left side of the first box on the bottom of the screen) which will reset all ability and attribute points, but you should save this for when it's absolutely necessary. You can only use this option five times a day so don't waste it.
Selling items in Sonny can be a bit tricky, but it's a great way to earn more money if there's an item you really feel you need. Just make sure you're careful. Once you sell an item, you can't undo that sale. In the beginning of the game you have very basic gear and it may be tempting to sell that gear in favor of more advanced options. That's not always the best strategy. Some of the items you purchase are only able to be equipped once. If you don't have another item in your inventory to take its place, you're going to leave yourself vulnerable. Only sell something unless you're absolutely positive you won't need it or the money you gain for it will be worthwhile. For example, the leggings you start the game with don't really offer much in the way of benefit, but they also don't offer much in the way of cash if you sell them. Why take the chance? Stick with them until you can afford something better and then keep them just in case you do wind up needing them later. If you run out of room in your inventory, you can of course sell the less important items, but try to hang onto them for as long as you can. It's better to be safe than sorry.
The colors on the buffs in Sonny represent the element classification of the ability. There are eight different classifications in total; Earth, Fire, Ice, Lightening, Magic, Physical and Poison. Each element has a different piercing and defense rating which is shown on a bar graph. The rating will be from 0% to 100% and will help you better understand the strengths and weaknesses of each element. Understanding those ratings isn't difficult once you understand what 'piercing' and 'defense' mean in this circumstance. Piercing basically refers to how much damage an element is able to inflict on an enemy, the chances of scoring a critical hit using that element and how much damage is added from a critical hit. Defense is more or less the same thing but it runs counter to piercing. Familiarize yourself with the ratings for each element and keep those ratings in mind when you're looking at your abilities. You also need to look at your stats. Some stats have an impact on your abilities so knowing what the stats do is a vital part of your strategy. Magic and strength more or less cooperate with your abilities. Speed does as well, but only on certain abilities. Speed will, however, boost piercing which can definitely come in handy. You'll get one extra piercing point for every two speed points you gain. Speed will also help you out with your accuracy and dodge abilities. Vitality is a great stat to keep an eye on. Every point of vitality you earn will increase your health by eight points.
You are only able to have eight moved equipped in a battle in Sonny, so make sure you choose the moves that will be of the most use to you. You choose what moves to equip via the "abilities" menu. Pay attention to what each move does and how many times it can be equipped. Some of your moves can be equipped more than once while others can't. It will be difficult to know which moves will help you the most when you first start playing, but as you progress, you'll get the hang of it. As with most of the turn based adventure games online, experience will be your greatest teacher. The more you play, the better you'll get. Wisely choosing what moves to equip and wisely choosing when to use them is the only way to do well in this game. You need to develop a decent strategy and the best way to do that is to play the game for a while and figure out what works and what doesn't. Use your experiences while playing to determine the best way to handle every battle you encounter and remember the strengths and weaknesses of the class you chose for your character. With a good strategy you can get through this game, but very few players are going to be able to plan out a decent strategy right from the beginning. Experience with turn based adventure games will definitely be an asset, but even those who have never played this genre before will be able to do well as long as they take time to learn what they need to do and get comfortable with the game.
It is almost guaranteed that at some point during Sonny, you will find yourself hopelessly stuck on a level. Remember that as hopeless as a level seems, nothing actually is in this game. No level in this game is impossible. Watch your enemy. Look for their strengths and weaknesses. Make sure you have a good idea of what you're up against. Once you have that in mind, look at the abilities you have available and carefully study each one. If you're struggling, there's a good chance you just aren't using your abilities to the fullest potential. Think about what you're doing and make sure you have the right moves equipped for the battle. The solution to your problem always lies in the ability tree, so make sure you use it. This game is always about strategy and using what you have to the best of your ability and to its greatest benefit. If you pay attention to what's going on and proceed accordingly, you should be able to figure out what you need to do to overcome any situation you find yourself in within the game. Newcomers to turn based adventure games will have trouble in the beginning, but again, experience is everything. Although you'll get frustrated, if you stick with it, you can master this game. It's just a matter of being smart and using what you've got to its fullest advantage.
Overall, Sonny is an excellent turn based adventure game that offers more than enough to keep you playing game after game. While the game can be a little complex, with patience and persistence, even newcomers to turn based adventure games will be able to do well in this one. More experienced players are going to love the level of detail this game offers as well as the fact that it offers a real challenge and a real test of skills. This is no easy game, but once you figure out how to develop a good strategy, it is entirely a beatable game. If you are looking for a good adventure game that will put your skills to the test, this is definitely the game for you.

Dogs need good attention especially when it comes to food. A well-fed dog is always a happy dog. Dog food can be classified into wet or dry dog food, and this comprehensive guide we will be focusing our attention on wet dog food. Most of the wet dog food in the market contain 70-80 % of moisture on the total weight while kibble makes up some small portions of that food. Wet dog foods are considered a healthy option since they are low in carbs, have more fiber and higher in protein quality.
To help users avoid buying junk and only get the best healthiest wet dog food, this guide features some of the important things to look out for as well as listing down some of the finest wet dog foods you can count on.
Choosing The Best Quality Wet Dog Food
Here are crucial things to check out for when looking for good quality wet dog food.
Calorie Content
It is mandatory for every dog food manufacturer to display the content on the can or package and checking out the ingredients will help you understand what you are getting for your dog. Calories are accumulated energy in form of body fat. So, when you see the calorie value on the package, it represents the amount of metabolized energy which is always released when the dog has digested the food. So, be sure to get higher calorie content dog foods which will help your dog become stronger and jovial all day long.
Gluten Free
Like humans, you have to watch the amount of carbs that you are feeding to your dog. Gluten is always abundant in grain based dog food and this can sometimes be hard for the dog's digestive system to handle. It is therefore always important to feed the dog with limited small portions of gain based meals and be sure to rotate the diet to ensure it is well balanced and that the dog is getting all the necessary carbs.
Dog's Preference Vs. Nutritional Value
Getting highly nutritious dog food is very important but one should also consider whether the dog will love the food or not. Even for us humans, the sweetest foods that we love aren't always the most nutritious. It is therefore important to consider the dog's preference. You may also try to mix the dog food to ensure that the dog is not only loving the mean but get all the necessary nutrients that are necessary for healthy growth and strength.
Size of The Food Package
When buying dog food, it is always important to keep in mind the fact that these foods can go bad. Wet dog food are always air-tight to remain fresh inside the can, but once opened, most of them should be consumed within 2 to 3 days. This is because of oxidation and moisture which can make it ferment or go bad making it unhealthy for the dog to east. It is therefore important to get a package that your dog will eat fast before it goes bad.

Phil Simms is an affable broadcaster who seems very comfortable with his masculinity. So much so that he doesn't censor himself at all in discussing the physical side of the game, his fondness for rough play, or even players' physiques. Last year, Simms wore a pink shirt during the divisional round, and a pink tie for the championship game. Along the way, Simms produced gems like:
"The Broncos have their deepest penetration of the night".
Regarding Jerome Bettis: "You look at that body, and he's just so big - but then you look at those quick little feet."
And my favorite: "Good blocking on the backside."
Outsports.com has compiled a list of Phil's homoerotic comments throughout the years. This year's AFC Championship Game was no different. Because I love Phil Simms, and I have the sense of humor of a seventh-grader, here's a compendium of his broadcasting highlights from the Patriots-Colts game on Sunday. As a bonus for readers who prefer brunettes, there's some bonus Jim Nantz homoeroticism in there, too. Tee-hee! In there.
"The Patriots are very big and powerful up front."
"They're trying to confuse them by having guys get in there and switch positions."
"When it starts to slip, you're in trouble. But it has not slipped."
On Tom Brady's QB sneak:
"He just pats Koppen on the rear end, he probably yells out, 'Get ready!'"
On Dwight Freeney vs. Matt Light:
"He gets underneath him, and that helps him get around."
Nantz #1:
"To the backside, no one on top of Jabar Gaffney."
Nantz #2:
"Anderson got in there and rolled over him."
Nantz and Simms, discussing either foreplay or the Patriots offensive gameplan:
"You've got to loosen them up. You've got to loosen them up first."
Nantz and Simms also got into a discussion about eyeglasses. Simms mentioned his need for "thick, binocular glasses", and Nantz appeared to get upset with his TV boyfriend. "Why don't you wear them on camera?", he demanded. It really sounded like Nantz was disappointed in Simms, both for sacrificing his vision, and for trying to look more handsome than Jim Nantz. Simms admitted as much, sheepishly responding, "Because I'm vain."
I'm happy to report that Nantz and Simms will also be broadcasting the Super Bowl. Simms was paired with Greg Gumbel for his previous Super Bowl gigs, a fine partnership which nonetheless lacked the homoerotic synergy of the Nantz-Simms duo. Whether you're a fan of the NFL or just homoeroticism, this year's Super Bowl should be a memorable one.

RICHMOND (CN) - More than a dozen new democratic legislators entered the Virginia General Assembly this year, and while many of the issues they ran on have failed to gain traction in a body the GOP has dominated for decades, their presence in the assembly chamber is already having an impact.
Democrats had high hopes after election day when it briefly appeared they'd taken control of General Assembly by a slim margin.
Those hopes were dashed earlier this year after a series of recounts and other tiebreakers -- including the selection of a winner's name out of a ceramic bowl -- returned control of the body to GOP which now holds a 51-49 majority.
The near equal numbers on each side of the aisle has led to some effort at working together in the early days of the term. But there's no getting around the fact the GOP still holds the majority.
One recent illustration of this transpired during a meeting of a subcommittee of the General Assembly's General Laws Committee.
The nine-member panel was considering four bills that revisited proposals to increase protections for LGBTQ individuals in housing and public employment. Similar proposals had previously been considered by the subcommittee and rejected out of hand.
Among those in the chambers, was Delegate Danica Roem, who made history in November as the first transgender individual elected to the Virginia House of Delegates.
She was a spectator for the bills being heard, but her legislation relating to traffic problems in her district had been killed earlier in the session.
As she listened, Democrats on subcommittee failed to advance a single of the LGBTQ measures. As some in the public gallery hurled shouts of "shame" at the panel, Roem picked up her things and headed to her next committee meeting.
"It is very easy, in this [governing] body, to have your spirit broken and come away feeling demoralized," she said.
"[The] first thing you recognize is when you're a freshman and a Democrat, [is that] you're not ... going to get a lot of stuff passed, but you can set a tone," she continued.
Roem is not alone in her frustration.
Delegate Elizabeth Guzman, who in November was one of the first two Latinas elected to Virginia's House of Delegates, unsuccessfully pressed the legislature to make the cost of state colleges the same for immigrant students in Virginia on a visa or and other temporary status as it is for American citizens.
And Delegate Debra Rodman, who upset a 17-year incumbent Republican to claim her seat, saw her attempt to make feminine hygiene products tax-free in Virginia killed in committee.
Other measures, including a bid to have a study done on the potential benefits of offering universal healthcare in the Commonwealth and one to create a state-level net neutrality law, also proved futile.
House Democratic Minority Leader David Toscano said under the circumstance, he understands why Roem and her freshman colleagues might be feeling discouraged.
"It is quite a jolt to people when they first come down here when they try and learn the system," Toscano said.
"Learn the system" was one of the first pieces of advice he offered the 16 newly elected democrats as the current session of the legislature got underway last month.
"It's natural to be a bit dispirited because a bill they thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread was defeated in what they think was partisan action," he said. "Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't."
Freshman House Democrat Schuyler VanValkenburg, who represents a district encompassing the Richmond suburbs, said before arriving in the statehouse he was determined to learn more about the legislature and its culture and traditions.
"Each part of the General Assembly has a different rhythm," he said. "When you get here you've got to learn the rhythm for each committee, the floor, the caucuses; you've got to learn them to learn how to legislate."
While Roem saw her initial legislative proposals rejected, VanValkenburg managed to get one piece of legislation through the House and on to the state Senate, another GOP-controlled body, but one that historically has proven more inclined to bi-partisanship.
His bill, which would stop the Commonwealth from pulling someone's professional license if they default on student loans, was based on similar legislation passed in several conservative-leaning, GOP-controlled states.
VanValkenburg said in crafting the bill's language he was mindful of Republican calls to reign in "government overreach." By framing his bill along those lines, he said, he was able to get Republicans who'd ordinarily run from a democrat's proposal to sign on.
VanValkenburg's experience illustrates another truism offered by Toscano to incoming freshman.
"Sometimes people feel they're being targeted for partisan reasons, but in reality they're being questioned about the what the words on the paper say," the Democratic leader said.
Geoffrey Skelley, political analyst at University of Virginia's Center for Politics, said while the slim majority the GOP now holds increases the odds that bipartisan deal-making will be more common as the session continues, Democrats are still unlikely to make significant inroads in advancing their legislative agenda.
"Getting anything passed is difficult because of the Republican majority. They're unlikely to agree to Democrats' bills whether they're freshmen or not," he said. "But Republicans also aren't very interested in giving these freshmen wins in their first year."
Toscano said while failures to get their legislation passed may aggravate freshman democrats, their presence in the chamber has had an impact in the first weeks of the session.
He said Democrats in the House have given new life to a long-running debate over whether to expand Medicaid; helped pass legislation that increases the threshold for felony larceny (starting July 1, anyone who steals anything worth $499 dollars or less will only be charged a misdemeanor ), and introduced a bill to disrupt the Commonwealth's so-called "school-to-prison pipeline," Virginia's practice of referring students who get in trouble to the legal system.
"That couldn't have happened years ago," Toscano said. "It's only because of the new members of the assembly."Follow @@BradKutner

Coin Street Conference Centre, South Bank, London, SE1 9NH
About this event
This event aims to bring together STP and Alliance colleagues across London to work together to design and identify actions in the development of the following services in each STP/Integrated Care System:
- Cancer Rehabilitation
- Psychosocial services for adults affected by cancer
- Lymphoedema
- Primary care nursing and cancer

The Israelite's were warned by Moses to beware lest they forget the LORD their God after reaching the Promised Land. They were commanded to destroy everything, howsoever valuable or good it may be to look at and not crave for the same. The aim was to save them from the temptation of riches that would shift their focus from God towards the wealth or other things including idols of their gods made of gold. God desires the same from believers also lest we get blinded by the riches of this world. It is important to maintain a balance between wealth that enable us to fulfill all worldly responsibilities while remaining fully committed to the Lord and His kingdom.
How could Solomon fail the Lord? – Solomon's background is exceptional – his father David was declared by God as 'a man of My heart' and the way he organized the worship of God in the Tabernacle is followed even today. He started off as the youngest son of Jesse, made responsible for the family sheep but ended up as the most loved king of Israel. Stories of his love for God are legendary. Even after being chased by Saul for many years, he mourned his death from the heart. David had the Amalekite man, who came to inform about Saul's death, executed on learning that he had killed the late king by declaring, "Why weren't you afraid to lift your hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?" (2 Samuel 1:14). King Saul was afflicted by an evil spirit and one of his advisers suggested to call a musician to help him find relief from the spirit. David's name was suggested and his qualities of being brave, a warrior and one who could play the lyre were surpassed by the statement, :And the LORD is with him" (1 Samuel 16:18). He donated 3,000 talents (1, 50,000 kg) of gold and 7,000 talents (3, 50,000 kg) of silver besides various other precious things (1 Chronicles 29:3-5).
Solomon had to fulfill great expectations of people and the pressures of the job were evident in his prayer to the LORD, who visited him in a dream, 'give me a discerning heart and ability to distinguish between right and wrong'. God was pleased with this request and granted his request fully making him the wisest person on the earth and added 'honor and great wealth' with that (1 Kings 3:7-9 & 12-13). He followed exactly all statutes of the Scripture initially but later faltered and married many women of other nations. He revealed his life style, "I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives….. I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil (Ecclesiastes 2:3; 10).
Solomon did the same what Adam and Eve had done in the Garden of Eden – eating of the fruit to acquire worldly knowledge while being unsatisfied with what knowledge God had given. The women from different nations that were brought into his harem through marriage brought idols of their own gods and urged Solomon to join them in worship. He disobeyed the LORD's command not to marry women of other nations, "because they will turn your hearts after their gods". Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines and 'his heart was not was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of his father David had been' and Solomon followed Ashtoreth and other gods (1 Kings 11:1-6).
Is it a sin to be wealthy? – No, the command of the Lord Jesus to the rich young man to 'sell everything and follow Him' was to test his dependence on his wealth. Even the subsequent statement that 'the rich cannot enter God's kingdom' is illustrated by, "with man it is impossible but all things are possible with God" (Matthew 19:23-24 & 26). What the Savior Lord declared is in line with what Moses had cautioned the Israelites about, "Be careful that you do not forget the LORD, your God" (Deuteronomy 8:11). Why do we forget God and His commands is a question that has haunted all of mankind from the Garden of Eden itself, where God had provided everything – fruit trees, animals and birds, gold and precious stones (Genesis 2:12-13). And God would meet them every day in the evening to guide and bless them.
To stay connected and committed to God the Muslims pray 5 times and the Jews pray 3 times daily. Apostle Paul has commanded all believers to 'pray without ceasing' (1 Thessalonians 5:17). But this does not mean that we should sit down and do nothing else but it should be as effortless as breathing – we are aware but not focused on it. The atmosphere around us exerts pressure on our body and lungs forcing us to breathe. In like manner evil and the forces of darkness surrounding us put pressure on us as the 'roaring lion seeking whom to devour' (1 Peter 5:8) and resistance is the only response that is required of us. Apostle Paul describes this as a spiritual battle that is fought through prayer while watching out for each other lest we succumb to the pressure of evil.
We are born into a family that God decides for us and follow its values and customs till attaining maturity by which time we become capable of forming our own beliefs adding on to what we inherit. At baptism we join God's family and we enter into a spiritual atmosphere of God's presence and grace and this environment creates its own pressure on us. In this divine atmosphere we breath in blessings from God through prayer while remaining connected to this new environment till we finally enter it on leaving the earth.
That is why the Savior Lord warned, "If your vision is poor the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness. No one can ser4ve two masters, either he will hate the one and love the other or be devoted to one and despise the other" (Matthew 6:23-24). If focus of our vision itself is money, how can we pray without ceasing? The economic principle of depreciation requires certain amount of growth to beat value loss. Right after creating everything God established the priorities of life for Adam and Eve – after giving God the first place the command is, "Be fruitful and multiply (family life), fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over (business or work)" (Genesis 1:28). Any change in this God decided priorities will always lead to sin and sickness with broken relationships with God or within family.
Managing the fine balance between work and relationships is given by Lord Jesus through the Parable of Talents, where the master proceeds on a journey while entrusting his property to his servants. On return the servants were asked to settle accounts when two were found to have doubled what was given, thus getting promoted to greater responsibilities and entry into "the joy of the master" (Matthew 25:14-30). He employed hard working and loyal staff, evaluated their performances and rewarded them accordingly without himself getting fully enmeshed with his work at the cost of relationships.
Warren Buffett is one of the richest men on earth yet he lives in the same small house that he lived earlier, travels by a normal flight and donates much of his wealth to charity. Bill Gates and many others are actively involved in caring for others through donating their wealth thus proving that wealth is a means to help others and it is not their God. Apostle Paul has strengthened this further, "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength(Philippians 4:12-13).
Prophet Elijah whose name means, "Jehovah is my strength", introduced himself to King Ahab – "As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand" and then prophesied about no rain for the next three years. When we stand in His Divine presence always only then do we become instruments fit for His use. Elijah was sent by God to the brook Cherith with the promise that the ravens will bring him food and then placed in the house of a widow in Zarephath who had flour for just one meal (1 Kings 17:1-7). King David declares "The Lord is my strength and my shield, in Him my heart trusts" (Psalm 28:7) and then wealth creation also becomes worship of God and is used for His glory and His kingdom.
Agur meaning 'collector' first admits his ignorance about God and his own lack of much wisdom while elaborating the greatness of God and purity of His Word. Then he makes two requests to God that must form the basis of life of any God loving person while adding a warning 'do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you'. Apostle John also has issued the same warning in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 22:18-19). Agur's two requests are – First, give me just enough and not too much lest I forget You and secondly, do not give me so little that I may steal and profane Your name (Proverbs 30:1-9). Agur declares God's wisdom and ways are different and greater than man's and are difficult to understand requiring us to act in faith as mentioned elsewhere also in Scripture (Isaiah 55:8-9).
The temptation of riches will be there and gets couched in different colors, 'I am doing all for God's work' to make a bigger church for more souls to be saved. And then with thousands pouring in comes exclusiveness, luxury and ego satisfaction with sin of self idolatry in abundance. In poverty also one would curse God, steal or follow evil practices and in both cases focus gets shifted away from God. King Solomon, after trying everything came to the conclusion, "So I loathed all the fruit of my effort for which I worked so hard on earth, because I must leave it behind in the hands of my successor. Who knows he will be a wise man or a fool?" (Ecclesiastes 2:18-19).
Final charge by Apostle Paul – Love of money is a root of all kinds of evil and makes believers wander from the faith causing various types of grief for the lovers of it. Timothy is cautioned to be a real man of God, "flee from the love of money and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith". Apostle Paul then warns about the ill effect of riches, which are – first, pride which comes from the arrogance of superiority for status is measured by a person's wealth. God desires us to enjoy life and we are to put our hope in Him 'who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment'. Second, self righteousness(1 Timothy 6:10-19), and Moses warned the Israelites that "After the LORD has removed the previous residents, do not claim that God did this due to my righteousness" (Deuteronomy 9:4-5).
What should be our attitude towards wealth – Job lost all his children, wealth and reputation of righteous living in one day. Yet he declared, "Naked I came and naked I will go. God gives and He has taken away" (Job 1:21). The Garden of Eden and all of creation is His and we are only custodians tasked to care for it and use it for His glory. Apostle Paul advises us to "do good and be rich in good deeds, be generous and willing to share" (1 Timothy 6:18-19). Above all set the priorities of life right with God first, then family and then work or wealth creation. When seriously ill no one wants to see his gold, bank pass-books or property papers, we want to be our loved ones.
Lord's Prayer has first four very important aspects about our life and work. First, Hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Through my work and life and all that God has given me, how am I trying to achieve these three aspects of my relationship with God. It is only then that I can ask for my daily bread which cannot be accumulated and ensures my dependence on Him. Invariably I do not want any part in the first three but desire abundance of the fourth.
How much am I asking from Him?

The central institution in democracies and shareholder firms is decision-making by voting. If all voters made decisions as if their vote were decisive, then true majority decisions would be obtained with certainty. Often, however, voters have incentives to hide their true preferences, thus preventing true majorities. In addition to mixed-strategy equilibria, in most voting games there is a unique pure-strategy equilibrium where all voters decide oppositely to their true preferences. Experimental behavior, however, clearly differs from any unique equilibrium and more often implies true majority decisions than unique pure-strategy equilibria predict.

At this year's Saint Mary's University Hendrickson Forum, held April 16 during Holy Week, keynote speaker Cokie Roberts appropriately recognized the Blessed Mother for her strength.
A sold out crowd of nearly 300 attended Roberts' presentation at the annual forum on Saint Mary's Twin Cities Campus, during which Brad Hewitt, retired CEO of Thrivent Financial, also received the 2019 Hendrickson Medal for Ethical Leadership.
In her keynote, "Weaving the Social Safety Net at Home and Around the World," Roberts, a New York Times best-selling author and renowned journalist and political commentator, explained that "There has been a strong social responsibility fabric running throughout history, primarily exercised by women."
"That's what the women in the foundation of our country did," she added. "They looked around them. They saw what was happening. They saw the needs and strove to fill them."
As Roberts has written six New York Times best-sellers, most dealing with the roles of women in U.S. history, she ought to know. "I came to write these books because histories that leave out half of the human race aren't accurate," she said.
One lifelong inspiration for Roberts was her mother who served 18 years in Congress before retiring and serving as ambassador to the Vatican. "She was an enormous influence in my life and remarkable human being in so many ways," Roberts said, listing another major influence, the nuns from the Society of the Sacred Heart. "They took girls seriously in the 1950s. That was radical," Roberts said. "They raised us to be anything we wanted to be."
In the continuum of religious women doing what needed to be done, Roberts mentioned the Ursulines who came to her home town of New Orleans in 1727 to open hospitals for the colonists but looked around at other needs and soon established schools for Native Americans and African Americans.
In 1810, Elizabeth Ann Seton, started what became the highly successful parochial school system in this country — a feat that often gets her one short sentence in history books.
She detailed Sister Francis Xavier Cabrini, Sister Katharine Drexel and others, women canonized for being ahead of their time "to bring those on margins into the mainstream and not take no for an answer."
And, in examining Minnesota history, she credited the woman who founded Mayo Clinic.
The celebrated hospital, she argued, would not exist were it not for Sister Mary Alfred Moes. "I know of course all about the Mayo Brothers and their remarkable father, but had it not been for a pushy nun, who wouldn't take no for an answer, Saint Mary's hospital wouldn't have been built and Mayo Clinic wouldn't exist," Roberts said. Sister Mary Alfred Moes refused to accept that Rochester was too small a town to support a hospital and she raised the money herself.
But, Roberts said, strong women aren't just Catholic religious women. She detailed the stories of Isabella Graham, Elizabeth Hamilton, and Martha Ripley, to name a few.
Amidst all of these notable women who worked, despite tremendous hardship, adversity, and often ridicule, for the betterment of society, Roberts singled out a male: Saint John Baptist de La Salle, the founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools — of which Saint Mary's is affiliated.
"He was a man definitely before either his time, or perhaps more accurately, a man who recognized the sign of the time," Roberts said. "His remarkable vision about education for the poor, for delinquents, is still so incredibly relevant today … everything I've learned about Saint Mary's underlines that.
"It's clear that the Lasallian principles are still the guiding force behind this very important institution," she furthered. "Faith and the presence of God, quality education, and respect for all persons, inclusive community, and concern for the poor and social justice. Those principles need influence in our country today."
Roberts shared insights into other innovative humanitarian efforts and programs in both the private sector and U.S. government.
An active volunteer and advocate for Save the Children, she detailed her work with this organization, which provides relief to children in times of distress. "War is still stunting the lives of children," she said, providing the estimation that in 2018, 60.5 million people displaced from their homes by war, half of them under age of 18. She said that one person in this world is displaced every 2 seconds.
She said there are many programs which are making great strides to help global issues. She detailed the PEPFAR program, started by George W. Bush that is the biggest program for global health, providing anti-viral medications to 14.6 million people.
Circling back to education, Roberts said it is the best way to break the cycle of poverty. "It changes not only their lives but it changes the life of a country and we have lot of data to support that," she said. "That remarkably is what Saint John Baptist de La Salle recognized 300 years ago and is still true today. I am constantly blown away by kids' ability and desire to learn, even in extremely difficult conditions. We must try as hard as possible to provide education."
Roberts encouraged attendees to do what they can do, just like the women throughout history. "To say that it's too big a problem is just a copout," she said. "I hope the young people coming out of this great institution, no matter what their expertise, emerge awakened, nurtured, and empowered to lead ethical lives of service and leadership."
Following Cokie's remarks, Mary Lahammar, anchor, reporter and producer of Almanac, joined her on stage to moderate the question-and-answer portion of the program before Roberts met with 20 students for a private and inspiring Q&A.
Hendrickson Medal recipient Brad Hewitt
Also during the forum, Saint Mary's honored Brad Hewitt, retired CEO of Thrivent Financial, with the 2019 Hendrickson Medal for Ethical Leadership.
Hewitt joined Thrivent Financial in 2003, was named COO in 2008 and CEO in 2010 and retired in 2018. In retirement, Hewitt has found numerous ways to give back to his community. He currently serves as vice chair of the board for Habitat for Humanity International and volunteers as chair of the Itasca Project, an employer-led, cross-sector collaborative group that works to improve the quality of life for all in the Twin Cities. Hewitt also gives his time to Christian nonprofit UpWorks, volunteering as a Life Advocate and helping men who are coming out of addiction or prison get back into society using their God-given talents.
"The logic most important in my life and the one that I've seen truly inspire and transform is the ethic as modeled by people like Gandhi and Rev. Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela, the example of love expressed in sacrifice," he said. "It's such a clear connection to the greatest example of love expressed in sacrifice in Jesus.
"At Thrivent we help people express their faith through wise stewardship and generosity. This ethic was part of our culture way before I started," he added. "I only helped spur it on.
"This ethic produces the most important cultural attributes as a leader: generosity, gratitude, growth and above all grace."
Recipients of the Hendrickson Medal for Ethical Leadership have made significant contributions to the Twin Cities community and exhibit ethical leadership that is globally oriented and innovative or creative; citizenship that significantly improves the lives of others' appreciation for diverse ideas and perspectives; and a commitment to inspiring emerging leaders. Past medal recipients include Rhoda Olsen of Great Clips, Inge Thulin of 3M, Mary Brainerd of HealthPartners, and more.
"Cokie Roberts and Brad Hewitt inspired all of us to want to do more, to leave this world a better place than we found it," said Audrey Kintzi, vice president for Advancement and Communication at Saint Mary's who heads the forum. "I can't imagine better role models for our students than two individuals who have accomplished so many things in their professional lives, but have also made helping others a priority. With this very successful event now over, we begin to plan next year's event as we continue to address important issues and topics that focus on ethics."

Per-Post User Level Restrictions
WordPress 1.2 Per-Post User Level restrictions
(c) 2004 Scott Merrill email@example.com
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
INTRODUCTION This modification allows blog authors to assign a minimum user level required to view each post. The default value is zero (retroactively applied to all existing posts), which means anyone can see the post. By choosing the post level on the admin post or edit screen, the author can limit who sees what.
PART ONE This modification requires the addition of a new row to the wp_posts table, called "post_level". There are sever al ways to accomplish this:
Make sure the included post_level_install.php is in your wp-admin directory. Call this page from your browser: http://www.example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/post_level_install.php
Edit the included post_level.mysql file to correctly identify the name of your wp_posts table (only necessary if you're using a custom table prefix for your database tables), then execute the following: mysql -uusername -p wordpress < post_level.mysql Replace "username" with your database username, as defined in wp-config.php. Replace "wordpress" with the name of your WordPress database, as defined in wp-config.php
Use a tool like phpMyAdmin to manually alter the table. The post_level row must be UNSIGNED INT(2), default zero, not null.
PART TWO Next, you need to modify five files:
If you haven't modified any of the listed files yourself (to apply other modifications, for example), you can simply copy the files from the modified/ directory to their respective locations: cd modified cp -r ./* ..
You can look through either the post_level.diff file, or the files in the modified/ directory to see what chan ges I've made. I've prefaced all of my modifications with this line: // SDM 23-05-2004 post_level modification to help you identify what has been changed.
USING THE MODIFICATION Once installed, you'll note that the post and edit screens now have a drop-down select box labelled "Post level". This is the minimum user level required to view the post.
Update 03-06-2004 By default, WordPress grants the ability to create new posts to any user with a user level greater than 0. So restricting posts with this mod and granting visitors user levels high enough to read your restricted posts means that your readers can become writers and blog on your blog. The fix is easy enogh: In wp-admin/post.php, find the line "default:" (this regex – ^default: – will take you right there). It's line 721 in my copy. Below that is a line that reads:
My sincere apologies for any trouble this oversight has caused.

(AP Photo/Eric Gay) What happened at Whataburger didn't stay at Whataburger, to the chagrin of one Texas schools chief. The Houston Chronicle reports that Xavier De La Torre, the superintendent for Ysleta Independent School District in El Paso, has been suspended and docked three days without pay by the school board after he allegedly head-butted a fellow superintendent while attending an educators training session in June offered by the Texas Association of School Boards. The altercation is said to have taken place in a San Antonio Whataburger, and De La Torre was believed to have been intoxicated, per a police report. story continues below CBS Dallas/Fort Worth IDs the recipient of the alleged head-butt, according to the report: Jose Espinoza of the Socorro Independent School District, also in El Paso. Espinoza is said to have punched De La Torre in self-defense during the incident. No criminal charges were filed, but the Ysleta board is said to have been miffed that De La Torre didn't alert them to what had happened. In a statement last week, he denied he head-butted anyone and said he wasn't the aggressor in whatever went down at the Whataburger. "That is not a way to represent our community," one parent says. "It's an embarrassment." (Read more Texas stories.)

This location just opened earlier this week at the corner of Rainbow and Robindale. I know 4 stars might be a little excessive for a fast food joint, but considering I've got a huge sweet tooth (that's why I was a fat kid) I'm giving them high marks for their sweet stuff. I love me some Blizzards, especially the strawberry cheesequake. This place is a grill and chill, so they've got all the fried and greasy food you would expect from a fast food restaurant. They also have a small patio area if you want to gaze out into the picturesque view of the Rainbow/Robindale intersection (yeah, that was my poor attempt at sarcasm).
The staff is obviously still in the process of training. When I ordered my blizzard the girl had no idea how to ring it up. But everyone was very nice and friendly. After you order they'll bring the food out to your table.
TIP: If you sign up for the fan club on the DQ web site they'll send you a coupon for a free 16 oz blizzard w/ the purchase of another 16 oz blizzard.

The TikTok algorithm explained
If your brand is using TikTok for marketing, you're probably looking for ways to gain traction on the platform. How do you get more views and followers on TikTok? On that note, how do you get more people to discover your content in the first place? Understanding how the TikTok algorithm works is key to making this platform work for your brand.
In this guide, we give you a breakdown of what the TikTok algorithm is and how it works. More importantly, we give you some practical tips on how to "hack" the algorithm. Let's dive in.
What is the TikTok algorithm?
The TikTok algorithm is a system that makes content recommendations personalized for each user. It decides which videos a user might like based on their individual interests and displays them on the user's For You page.
As a result, the For You page is highly personalized for each user. What you see on your For You page will not be the same as what your friend or colleague sees on their For You page. Someone who watches a lot of beauty and makeup content will naturally see more recommendations for similar videos. Yet those videos will rarely show up for someone who mostly consumes content related to sports and gaming.
It also means that the types of content you see on this page will change over time as your viewing behavior and preferences change. For example, as you pick up a new interest in DIY projects, you may see more DIY-related videos on your For You page. This happens as you engage with more crafting and DIY content.
Our #1 Most Requested Feature is Here
How does the TikTok algorithm work?
Now you may be wondering how TikTok knows which content to recommend. The TikTok algorithm considers a combination of factors to decide which videos a user might like.
Let's take a look at the most important TikTok ranking factors that influence which videos show up on your For You page:
User interactions and behavioral signals
One of the most important considerations TikTok makes is how users behave on the app. This information allows the platform to get a better understanding of the unique preferences of each user and how they change over time. It then ranks videos based on how aligned they are to these behavioral signals.
The TikTok algorithm considers the following key data signals:
- Video likes and shares
- Accounts followed
- Comments posted
- Content created
- Videos completed
- Favorited videos
TikTok uses this information to understand the types of videos you like to watch and the creators whose content you enjoy. That means it's more likely to recommend videos similar to the ones you've watched and interacted with before. It's also likely to favor videos from creators whose content you've regularly engaged with.
Video information for content discoverability
The information on the video itself such as captions, hashtags and sounds also helps TikTok understand how to rank the content. This is mainly because it uses the information to understand what the content is all about so it can decide when to display it on users' For You pages.
Device and account indicators
TikTok also looks at the device and account settings of each user to optimize for performance. The main information it looks at are:
- Country settings
- Language preferences
- Device type
- Category selection
However, since users don't actively express them as preferences, they don't hold as much weight as the other two factors. That means the algorithm is likely to place greater weight on a strong indicator of interest such as watching a video in its entirety.
6 tips for making the TikTok algorithm work for you
Looking at these ranking factors, it's safe to say that the most important way to "hack" the algorithm is by driving engagement. This may seem like a challenge if your brand is new to the platform and you're still building your following.
The good news is that TikTok doesn't consider follower count or a history of high-performing videos as direct ranking factors. This makes it much easier for newer accounts to get on the For You page of relevant users–provided they're taking the right approach. On that note, here are a few tips to improve your chances with the TikTok algorithm:
1. Make the first few seconds count
TikTok prioritizes factors like whether users finished watching your video. So you should create engaging content to get more people to watch your videos from start to finish. For that, you need to grab their attention within the first few seconds and hook them in so they'll want to watch the rest of the video.
That means skipping the intro and getting straight to the good part within the first 2-3 seconds. With TikTok being a fast-moving platform, there's no room for slow build-ups that could cause viewers to lose interest. Otherwise, viewers will get impatient and quickly skip to the next video on their feed.
Depending on the content, you may need to use text overlay, voiceovers or sound effects to make the first few seconds count. The goal is to instantly show the value of your video to make viewers stay.
Here's an example from Colourpop Cosmetics, where a text overlay tells viewers why they should watch the video.

2. Lean toward shorter videos
TikTok recently expanded its maximum video length to 10 minutes. However, longer videos may not necessarily give you an advantage with the TikTok algorithm. As mentioned above, the video completion rate holds significant weight in the algorithm. Now, what's the chance that people will watch an entire 15-second video vs. a 10-minute video?
Try to create shorter, punchier videos that will engage viewers from start to finish. That's not to say that you shouldn't experiment with long-form videos, especially if they're better aligned with your brand identity, messaging and goals. Just remember to keep at least some of your videos short.
3. Post at the right time
Just like on other social networks, time is of the essence on TikTok. The algorithm looks at engagements on your video to rank it appropriately. In other words, the more engagement it sees, the more likely your video will show up on the For You pages of relevant users. This means that you need to drive as much engagement as possible within the first few minutes of posting to improve visibility on the platform.
Posting your TikTok videos when your audience is the most active will help you achieve this goal. The best time to post on social media, in general, is weekdays between 9 a.m. and noon. However, every audience and app is different. It's best to look at your TikTok analytics to access your follower activity and see when your audience is most active.
4. Make trending sounds work for you
TikTok is a platform that's highly focused on audio, where songs and sounds quickly become viral. In fact, it's one of the few social networks that allow users to conduct searches using audio. So it's no surprise that the audio you use influences the discoverability of your videos.
When someone interacts with a video that uses a certain audio track, the TikTok algorithm will take it as a cue to recommend other videos using the same audio. That means using trending songs and sounds in your video could help you improve your content visibility. If you see a trend that's surfacing on the platform, don't be afraid to jump in and use the audio in your own videos, if it's relevant.
Revolve always makes it a point to include fun and popular music in its TikTok videos.
5. Level up your hashtag game
If you thought hashtags were just for Instagram, think again. The TikTok algorithm uses hashtags to understand the content of a video and how to categorize it. That means if you want TikTok to show your video to the right users, you should use hashtags that are relevant to your video and your brand.
For example, Duolingo uses the #LearnOnTikTok hashtag in the following video. This is relevant to the video, which teaches an Italian word.
@samandwendy teach us the #Italian word for the sleepy feeling after eating too much! We hope there's pasta left for us! 🍝 #LearnOnTikTok #Duolingo
It's even better if you can make use of trending TikTok hashtags that are already getting a ton of visibility and engagement. For example, you may be able to take part in a popular hashtag challenge and add your own twist to it. These trending hashtags could inspire your content creation. They could also boost your content visibility since they're already popular on the platform.
The Trends section under your Discover tab can show you hashtags that are trending right now. Research each trending hashtag to look for opportunities that your brand can leverage.
6. Write keyword-rich captions
While you can keep your captions short or even leave it blank, it's much better if you can use it to your advantage. Write captions that are relevant to the video so the TikTok algorithm can understand what the content is about.
You can make the most of this space to include keywords that are relevant to the video. This will make it easier for TikTok to understand the content of the video and show it to the right users. That said, avoid stuffing your caption with keywords just for the sake of it. Instead, use the keywords strategically to form a sentence that's clear and easy to understand while being relevant to the content.
See how GoPro uses keywords like "skijoring," "Colorado" and "sport" in the following TikTok.
Welcome to the world of skijoring 🤠 Nick Burri shows us the most Colorado sport ever #gopro #skiing #skitok #pov #colorado #skijoring

*** Updated for 2021 ***
As a bushranger enthusiast it's always bothered me that there's such a lack of bushranger related things to wear and use so I decided to fill the gap in the market myself and have a whole bunch of bushranger related designs on Redbubble:
This gives customers a wider range of products, and most at slightly better prices. However, there is also a merchandise store at TeePublic, where you can get some of the designs that haven't yet been put up on the Redbubble store. Some of these designs have a more vintage feel to them, if that's your thing, but all of the designs across both stores are original and unique to Australian Bushranging. All products are high quality and made to order, ranging from t-shirts and hoodies to phone covers and mugs and beyond.
I addition, there is also a shop page on this website where you will be able to get exclusive items such as books and art cards as they become available. Payment options include PayPal and credit card.
Purchasing merchandise from any of these outlets helps support the ongoing work I do for A Guide to Australian Bushranging while also catering to the bushranging enthusiasts who are tired of the same mass-produced items that can be found everywhere from tourist traps to tobacconists. I always make sure never to put up a design I wouldn't be happy to wear on my own clothes or other items, and many of these items are in my personal wardrobe. You can rest assured that what you will be getting is a quality, bespoke item and not something churned out in a factory in Bangladesh and sold at 300% profit.

Jewish Awareness Ministries has been sharing the gospel with Jewish people since 1944. We believe the biblical responsibility for reaching all people with the gospel, including Jewish people, rests upon the local church. Therefore, the aim of this ministry, then, is to make local congregations aware of both the Jewish people in their outreach area and of their responsibility to reach them with the gospel.
We have two general areas of service for people with a heart for Jewish people and a call to Jewish ministry – Missionaries and Field Representatives. Our Missionaries are men and women who spend the majority of their time developing outreaches to the Jewish community they live in through such means as Bible studies, campus ministries, visitation, nursing homes, etc. They endeavor to get new Jewish believers established in solid, fundamental, Bible believing churches. They are ready to assist local churches in their area in reaching Jewish people with the gospel.
Our second area of service is that of Field Representative. These men have often been in the pastorate as they spend much of their time ministering the word of God in churches, Bible colleges, and conferences.
Jewish Awareness Ministries is an advocate for the nation of Israel. We believe God has established Israel as a nation today in fulfillment of His promises (Ezekiel 37:8; Isaiah 11:10-12). Although God's richest blessings for Israel lie ahead in the millennial reign of its Messiah Jesus, it is still, today, the "apple of His eye" (Zechariah 2:8). We believe that Israel has a right to the land biblically, and that it also has a legal and moral right to be a nation in that land. Genesis 12:3, "I will bless them that bless thee…," and the scores of biblical promises that the land is given to the Jewish people by God as an everlasting possession, Psalm 105:8-11; Ezekiel 37:21-27, makes it incumbent that we support Israel's right to be in the land of Israel as a nation.
With many Jewish mission agencies moving away from their historical, as well as biblical, model of ministry this book has been prepared for pastors and others who are interested in learning some of the distinctives of this ministry in relation to a number of subjects important in Jewish ministry.
