Lazarus story in the bible4/29/2024 1517–1519, Sebastiano del Piombo ( National Gallery, London) The Raising of Lazarus, Oil on canvas, c. The disciples are afraid of returning to Judea, but Jesus says: "Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to awaken him." When the apostles misunderstand, he clarifies, "Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe." No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." Instead of immediately traveling to Bethany, according to the narrator, Jesus intentionally remains where he is for two more days before beginning the journey. Jesus tells his followers: "This sickness will not end in death. The sisters send word to Jesus that Lazarus, "he whom thou lovest," is ill. He is identified as the brother of the sisters Mary and Martha. A certain Lazarus, who lives in the town of Bethany near Jerusalem, is introduced as a follower of Jesus. The biblical narrative of the raising of Lazarus is found in chapter 11 of the Gospel of John. In John, this is the last of the miracles that Jesus performs before the passion, crucifixion and his own resurrection. The raising of Lazarus is a story of the miracle of Jesus recounted only in the Gospel of John (John 11:1–44) in the New Testament, as well as in the Secret Gospel of Mark (a fragment of an extended version of the Gospel of Mark) in which Jesus raises Lazarus of Bethany from the dead four days after his entombment. Raising of Lazarus The Raising of Lazarus, by Duccio, 1310–11 There are also numerous literary uses of the term.Ī distinct character of the same name is also mentioned in the Gospel of Luke in Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus, in which both eponymous characters die, and the former begs for the latter to comfort him from his torments in hell. The name Lazarus is frequently used in science and popular culture in reference to apparent restoration to life for example, the scientific term Lazarus taxon denotes organisms that reappear in the fossil record after a period of apparent extinction, and also the Lazarus sign and the Lazarus syndrome. For this reason, it is given a prominent place in the gospel." In the context of the seven signs in the Gospel of John, the raising of Lazarus at Bethany – today the Palestinian town of Al-Eizariya in the West Bank, which translates to "the place of Lazarus" – is the climactic narrative: exemplifying the power of Jesus "over the last and most irresistible enemy of humanity: death. The Eastern Orthodox and Catholic traditions offer varying accounts of the later events of his life. Lazarus of Bethany (Latinised from Lazar, ultimately from Hebrew Eleazar, "God helped"), also venerated as Righteous Lazarus, the Four-Days Dead in the Eastern Orthodox Church, is the subject of a sign of Jesus in the Gospel of John, in which it is written that Jesus restores Lazarus to life four days after his death. In the scene of his resurrection, he is portrayed tightly bound in mummified clothes, which resemble swaddling bands. Sometimes vested as an apostle, sometimes as a bishop.

Rapelay controles4/29/2024 Even Fortnite, played by thousands of children around the world. Look, the game could have the best sex ever in it, but as it is all themed around rape, stalking, and assault it is impossible to find it hot.Pierce Dalton eredeti hozzászólása:Most videogames are about killing, that's the norm. The sex in the game is weird as you can move the camera around and I found it hard to control. It has a rather low budget, almost PlayStation 2 kind of look to the visuals. Many people tend to talk about the horrific acts of sexual assault that are committed in this game, but never mention that this is a very average looking game. With so much controversy being thrown the way of RapeLay and people being so shocked about a game being themed around sexual assault. To be honest, other lewd games have played like this before, but with your actions committing sexual assault it makes the gameplay feel worse somehow. You pretty much just control the game with the mouse and you need to move it over the girls to grope them and then when it comes to the actual sex, you just start moving the mouse in a particular way. The premise, plot, and main character of RapeLay are all messed up, but the gameplay is actually quite basic. I feel that a third ending where he gets what is coming to him may have made this game much easier to stomach for me and most other people. There is no happy ending here in this game, just one that is more brutal than the other. You see, out of prison and furious, Masaya has decided that he will get revenge on Aoi and her family and he starts staling them! Keep in mind that this is the main character we play as. Ok, so the whole sexual assault by groping chicks on a train is bad enough in RapeLay, but things are about to get worse. This brave young lady is called, Aoi, and reporting him turned out to be a massive mistake, you see Masaya is a man that has some major connections and he is released from prison before you know it. He is a pervert, a bad dude in every sense of the word, and one day he gropes a young woman that actually reports him to the cops. The character that we play as in RapeLay is a guy called, Masaya Kimura and he gets off by groping chicks on the subway. I have to say, playing this game is a bit hard due to the sex in it not being consensual but, to be honest, I have played worse! The Worst MC In History? Not many lewd games get the mainstream attention that RapeLay managed to get! With a title like this, you pretty much know what you are in store for here and this is a lewd game that does deal with sexual assault and I completely understand why this would make this a game that is a big “nope” for many people out there. It is really hard to praise the presentation in a game like this, but I do feel that it is as good as it probably could have been. I think this is actually better as I think it would make playing the game even more uncomfortable than it already is if the character models looked better than they do. RapeLay is made with a fairly impressive 3D engine the character models look pretty good, but they are not super realistic. I would imagine though that most people who play this out of some kind of curiosity Sick Presentation One is more twisted than the other if you ask me, but you get each ending by doing something different in the game so there is a bit of replay value here. They have put two different endings in the game and neither one of them is what I would class as a happy ending. Once you finish the game there is also a free play option. While you are playing as the villain I do think that the game’s biggest strength is making you feel for the three women who he is stalking and assaulting. There is not much in the way of gameplay in RapeLay, but to be honest with you I would not really want to have much more control over Masaya’s actions than I already do. In terms of actual gameplay, the whole game is pretty much controlled with the mouse. He decides he is going to get revenge on the whole Kiryū family and starts stalking them. Unfortunately, Masaya has some high connections and he is released right away from prison. The game is about a man called Masaya Kimura who assaults a woman and is then reported by the police by the young, Aoi Kiryū.

Zayn a whole new world lyrics4/29/2024 He mumbles half of Tim Rice’s lyrics, and when Ward comes in, you barely notice in the difference in their voices – I had to listen in to make sure another person was dueting with him. And then we get this: the new ‘pop’version of this song, played at the end credits, and sung by Zayn Malik and Zhavia Ward (the old fogey me says ‘who?’ regarding the latter) Malik is completely wrong for the song – his ’emo’ sensibility is the opposite of what the song needs. I will reserve judgement on the film till I see it, but everything I have seen and heard about it points to an (artistic) failure. And while the original ‘pop’ version is a lesser, Regina Belle and Peabo Bryson both were able to capture in their own way the essence of a song.Ĭut to 2019, and we are about to get a new ‘live action’ version of the movie, directed by Guy Ritchie. I don’t think I am wrong if I declare their version will be listened to long after I am gone. Lea Salonga and Brad Kane sing the song flawlessly, perfectly expressing the exhilaration, the anticipation, the promise of a first romance. I always love songs when two people first meet each other, and this song captures that moment precisely, and Tim Rice’s lyrics open up two fold: on one end, it’s a literal (magic carpet) ride akin to a lovers’ ‘first date,’ but at the same time it is also a metaphor to a start of a relationship: it’s a whole new world, we are falling in love. I am certainly not alone in thinking this, as it is the one and only Disney theme song that has won the Grammy for ‘Song of the Year.’ Moreover, it has the all the elements of what a perfect songs is for a musical. ‘A Whole New World,’ in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful songs in the Disney canon.

Endnote web uf4/28/2024 In compiling bibliographies and other reference materials, researchers need to be certain that their lists reflect top-flight work that has earned the approval of the research community, in the form of citations. Similarly, automatic updating for references and links keeps the bibliographic data accurate. Should it be necessary to change the bibliographic style of a list of references, EndNote X9’s Refreshed Styles feature can automatically modify references into key styles such as Chicago, ALA, MLA, and others. EndNote assembles and automatically reformats bibliographies in Microsoft® Word, according to rules that can be pre-set by the user. Full text for references can be searched in a single click. These include PDFs as well as material deriving from newer reference types such as blog posts, multimedia sources, and social media. And for monitoring and coordinating changes to the material, X9 can also track team activity.ĮndNote’s group-sharing options also mean that colleagues need no longer search through an entire collaborative library to find pertinent materials when necessary, users can share only the selected portions they choose, with the level of access they select.Īs always, to assist users in the initial process of assembling their stores of research materials, EndNote affords access to hundreds of online resources. Supervisors also have the ability to set limits on that access for individual team members, specifying “write” or “read-only” access to the bibliography or to a select group of references. And heightened Web of Science integration brings a new level of quality assurance in selecting references and identifying journals in which to publish.įor managing team input to a collaborative research library, EndNote can provide remote access for up to 100 team members, who can use the online interface to access materials from any location, on any device (in a Windows, iOS, Mac, or multi-platform environment). In particular, enhanced tools for collaboration allow users to selectively share references while controlling team access and monitoring changes. Using EndNote X9, researchers – even members of far-flung international teams – can compile, format, and share research materials and optimal bibliographies with minimal effort. With the release of EndNote X9, the newest version of its reference-management software, Clarivate Analytics deepens its commitment to helping researchers concentrate on their primary goal: Creating important, impactful research. The time-consuming demands of assembling, curating, and sharing references and other materials often hinder researchers from focusing on activities more essential and germane to their work. Such large-scale collaboration, however, also brings challenges. In fact, 43% of papers published in the last five years were written by international teams. With research now a global enterprise, collaboration with large, international teams has become the norm.

Best solo class torchlight 24/28/2024 You’ll get about to level 50 by the end of the game, so expect to have about 50 skill points to divvy up. Now, when it comes to levelling up… Pick One Skill-Ladder And Stick With ItĮach class has three skill ladders with corresponding passive skills. And honestly, the flame-hammer is one of the most satisfying video game moves of the year. Not only can you use a bunch of different weapons, the engineer’s heavy weapons skills and toughness mean that you can go toe-to-toe with the biggest baddies. I haven’t played through the game with all four classes, but I can report that the engineer is a wicked-fun class for playing through the game solo. The Engineer Is AwesomeĮr, I just wanted to say that. I leapt into the game without reading it, and about 20 hours later finally checked it out, only to find a bunch of stuff that I didn’t really know about. Torchlight II has a lot going on on-screen, so it’s really worth clicking the “help” button down at the bottom and reading what everything does. I have a couple of alts that I use for multiplayer, while my main high-level character is really just for soloing. It can be very easy to out-level each other in the early goings, and it’s not very fun to play as a level 10 character along even a level 10 character. If you’re going to play alongside friends, I recommend starting a new game together. If You Play Alongside Friends, Start Together You have control, of course, so just set a cap to let people know that you’re trying to keep things fairly close. It can be a little bit weird when a character who outclasses yours by 20 levels shows up and starts plowing through enemies for you. That said, if you’re making a server and letting strangers into your game (which seriously, is fun), be sure to put a level restriction on your room. Be Sure To Make A Level-Cap For Your Server It’s wonderful that Runic has given players the option to play offline, but there’s no real reason to. But it’s neat to be able to hop around, visit your friends, trade loot, and use the universal chat. There’s no substantive difference between the two experiences - you can solo the game on the internet, and can even have five other players on your server, all soloing in different parts of the map. I played a lot of the game singleplayer, but found that once I opened my game up to people, I had even more fun. As you head off after the Alchemist, here are some tips to help you get the most out of your first time through Torchlight II Play Multiplayer, Even If You’re SoloingĮvery time you start the game, you’ll have the option to play singleplayer, on the internet, or via LAN. If you’re planning on playing the game, I thought I’d look back at my first 30 hours with it and offer some basic pointers.

1950s logo black sabbath4/28/2024 Me: I know it wasn’t issued in the recent Universal series of remasters, but it was at the tail end of the 1996 Castle series in 1998. Here’s our email exchange (posted with permission): His reply is interesting, and seems to pinpoint the earliest true usage. As time went on with the site work, I got a hold of Hugh Gilmour, who has done a lot of artwork for Black Sabbath over the years, and he was credited with art design on that remaster series. However, I never remembered it being on the old vinyl and cassette tapes I had back in the day. I was a bit perplexed by this, as the original release of this compilation was late in 1975, which if accurate would be the earliest usage. So, as I continued the work for the Jan 2012 re-launch of this site, I was doing some scanning of back cover art, and discovered this on the 1998 remaster of “We Sold our Soul for Rock & Roll”. Was also on the 2007 compilation, “ The Dio Years“. Both in the “Matthew 25:41” circle image shown at the top of this page, and as well as the “Wal-Mart exclusive” cover art, which can be seen here. The most visible, I suppose would be Bill Ward’s drums on the 1999 Tour.ĭespite all of it’s uses over time, it’s only ever appeared on a few album covers. Henry is actually animated there, which was a new wrinkle. If you haven’t seen that carnage, check it out here. The most recent I think would be the really horrendous music video for the track “Bible Black in 2009. It’s been used a boatload of times over the years on numerous things, including several bits of artwork connected to the band. I saw it used in a tour promo logo as well as on the cover of a single from that album. WHEN was the first time we saw Henry? The earliest I could remember was on the Never Say Die album. It’s a logo that’s been in use for a long time, and that was a point of contention with me. :) Henry is of course the “flying devil” or “flying angel” or whatever you want to refer to it. He’s something akin to Iron Maiden’s “Eddie”, although Henry has never come out on stage live. Thing is, most people didn’t know he’s called Henry. If you’re a Black Sabbath fan, especially a long time one, you’ve seen Henry a bunch of times.
