TXAB: The Christ Almighty Blog: Sin.
In case you were unclear as to what that is. Hey, you'd be surprised how many people are.
SIN /sɪn/ n. Immoral behavior—from a religious viewpoint.
2. Violation of God's law or known will.
3. A reprehensible action, or serious shortcoming.
4. A state of human nature in which one is alienated from God.
5. v. To commit a sin, offense, or fault.
I used to think it was a copout when Christians claimed they weren't entirely sure what "sin" is, or what the word properly means. Sometimes yeah, they're trying to weasel out of defining their behavior as sin. But I've found quite often nobody ever spelled it out for them when they were new believers. So they presumed. They figured a sin is when you break one of the Ten Commandments, or when you commit one of the seven deadly sins—but nothing else is a sin. As a result they kept right on committing the same fruitless behaviors they'd always done, unaware of how this activity was undermining their relationship with God and any religious growth.
The apostles defined sin as when we know what God expects of us—we know the right or proper thing to do—yet we ignore it and selfishly do our own thing. Jm 4.17, 1Jn 3.4 At its core sin is based on selfishness. If we aren't so insistent on doing our own thing, and care more about doing what God wants, we'll be far less likely to sin.
Here's the problem: Sin is based on selfishness, but selfishness isn't necessarily sin.
No, seriously. It's not always wrong to think of ourselves first. In fact we kinda have to, when we're following Jesus's teaching to love others as we love ourselves Mk 12.31 —it's expected we do love ourselves. And it's sometimes necessary to think of ourselves first. If you're serving others, but you work yourself to death in the process, you're not gonna serve others for very long. If you've ever been on a plane and remember the safety lecture, y'might recall when the oxygen masks drop you're supposed to put on your mask before you help others with their masks, 'cause you're no help to anyone once you pass out from oxygen deprivation. Often we need to think of ourselves first.
Sin is the product of corrupted selfishness. Like nearly every animal, selfishness is hard-wired into the human body and instinct. After all, when we don't look out for ourselves, when we ignore that self-preservation instinct, we get physically hurt! But humans have taken this instinct to a level God didn't intend when he built it into us. We don't just preserve our lives and well-being. We preserve our comforts too. Whenever God's will runs contrary to the things which entertain us, please us, or suit us, we're all too willing to ignore him. We figure he'll forgive us. Or we just don't care what he thinks.
Hence sin. And it hasn't merely corrupted humanity: It's warped the whole planet. Nothing works as originally intended. Instead of living forever as we oughta, humans die. Instead of a harmonious, balanced ecosystem, we have famines, plagues, and natural disasters. Instead of working together in love, and naturally sharing a close personal relationship with God, humans fight one another, and try to manipulate and control and dominate one another. Even Christians fight over our ideas about Jesus: We may know about the sin problem, but we're hardly immune to it. We're just as infected as the rest of the world.
But God intends to remove sin from humanity. In four steps.
God's Law, in which he spelled out his will for the Hebrews and humanity.
Jesus's atonement, in which our sin was defeated and dealt with.
Sanctification, in which we learn how to stop sinning and resist temptation.
Resurrection, in which we receive new, sin-untainted bodies.
Sin and humanity; sin and Christians.
Most people confuse sin with evil. 'Cause sin is evil. But they're not interchangeable. And humans don't sin because we're evil; we sin because we're overly selfish.
Selfishness is a fully ingrained part of humanity. Psychologists even make it a part of their models of the human psyche. Sigmund Freud called it "the id," and Karen Horney called it "the real self" (as opposed to "the ideal self"). Paul of Tarsus called it i sarx/"the flesh," although a lot of current bibles translate it "the sinful nature." Ro 8.6 I tend to refer to it as "the inner child," to borrow a pop psychology term—although to be honest, in my case particularly, it's more of an inner brat.
In general the inner brat is what we are whenever we ignore our consciences, peer pressure, societal norms, and God, and do as we will. But again: Not everything the inner brat wishes, would be evil. Wanting to hang out at the beach instead of shoveling snow: That's hardly evil. It becomes evil, or morally wrong, when we're meant to be shoveling snow, and don't—we're getting paid to do it, or promised someone we'd do it, or someone's gonna die if we don't dig them out of their snow-covered home. It becomes evil when we let that selfishness rule our lives: We turn our inner brat into an inner despot, and put it above truth, reality, and God. We choose sin.
Happens all the time. Christians do it too.
8 When we say we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray; truth's not in us.
9 When we admit our sins, this is faith and rightness.
Thus God can forgive us of sin and cleanse us from all wrongness.
10 When we say we don't sin, we make a liar of God: His word's not in us.
Even today, you'll find Christians who claim we're in a new dispensation where God's Law no longer defines sin; where there are no more sins. (Or no sins other than the Ten Commandments, plus a few things Jesus instructed.) So we're righteous, and nothing we do is sin. Everything we think and do is right. Others are wrong—and probably dangerous, and we need to stop them.
Yeah, this mindset flies entirely in the face of Christianity. Because we're wrong, and Jesus is right. We don't follow Jesus all that perfectly; we selfishly distort his commands, and invent all sorts of loopholes which let us get away with violating God's will. Same as the Pharisees did. Human nature hasn't changed any in 20 centuries, y'know.
But like John said, when we admit our sins, come clean to one another and God, and strive to walk in the Light which God is, we can be cured of sin. We don't have to live in it!
Other Christians take the other extreme: They claim it's impossible for Christians to stop sinning. We're too depraved to live any other way; we're doomed to keep sinning till we die and Jesus raises us. So we're left with two options: Either create a lot of tight, rigid rules and minimize the amount of sinning we do… or give up and quit trying. Either legalism or libertarianism.
1 My children, I write these things to you so you won't sin.
When anyone sins, we have an aide from the Father: Righteous Christ Jesus.
2 He's the atonement for our sins.
Not only for ours, but for the whole world's.
3 In this way we know we've known him: When we keep his commands.
4 Saying, "I've known him," and not keeping his commands: It's a lie, and truth isn't in this.
5 God's love is truly achieved this way: In whoever can keep God's word.
In this way we know they're in God.
You're to walk in the same way he walked.
God gave us commands because he wants us to stop sinning. God gave us his Holy Spirit because he wants us to have the power to actually stop. We can't defeat sin without God, but he's giving us help! So fighting sin isn't impossible.
It's just it's easier, lazier, and most of us figure it's more fun, to keep on sinning.

A LIVING CORPSE
The League of Nations is 20 years of age. But it looks much older. Judging by outward appearance it could be two thousand years old. It has turned into an unburied mummy. Visitors in Geneva step into the League of Nations palace showing similar curiosity as in entering an old time museum. Everything is empty, silent and and they can feel the stink of mould. The learned secretary of this institution, Mr. Avenol, serves gapers by putting out such rarities as Poland of the Pans carefully canned with sprinkled spirits. The bourgeois historians once quarreled about who was the first presenter of the idea for a league of nations — was it Pyotr Ivanovich Bobchinsky in America or Pyotr Ivanovich Dobchinsky in France. Currently, no one argues about this. Both Bobchinskys and Dobchinskys deny their own failed favorite child.
The birthday of the League of Nations will never be celebrated by its parents. One really feels sorry for them! Even on the Rocky Mountains unburied bodies were taken care more properly. Dishonourably born, dishonourably buried will be the fate of the League of Nations. The League is the favourite child of the piratical Versailles peace treaty. It was created to strengthen Anglo-French hegemony in Europe, to maintain British supremacy all over the capitalistic world.
It is an image of all the vices of the Versailles peace system, the very one that has divided the world into master and slave states. All the conflicts tearing apart the capitalistic society and the post-war Versaillesian system of imperialism went through the League of Nations, and made it shake from the very beginning.
The League of Nations started with giving its blessing to bandit attacks on the land of Soviets, the young state of workers and peasants. And now, the League ends its very existence by trying to form a new anti-Soviet bloc.
Twenty years ago the League of Nations was still young even though the stigma of the old age of capitalism already shadowed its face. The masters of the League enjoyed the opportunity to send their troops against the Soviet Union and neutral states humbly followed the suite. However, the League along with the Anglo-French imperialism received a stunning blow from the then still weak Soviet state.
Now, lacking teeth and hair and lying paralyzed the League of Nations again tried to instigate a campaign against the huge Socialist country, Soviet Union. But all ended laughably and wrong. The war-mongering Anglo-French masters can only shake their fists, with the neutral states getting nowhere. With the "expulsion" of Soviet Union the League of Nations simply confirmed its complete political and moral bankruptcy.
It was born sick, scrofulatic, infected by the "English disease" from the very beginning. The United States didn't join the League. American capitalists were not willing to share their hegemony between British and French capitalists. This immediately affected the authority and power of the League. The Versailles system was cracking in all its joints. It didn't give or have the capability to confirm a stable peace. It couldn't either strengthen the Anglo-French hegemony in Europe and over the world. British imperialists fighted against French imperialists. The League of Nations was a seat of discord and intrigues. It was not able to decide on anything or, much less to do something. It babbled about peace and disarmament, its staff spent a lot of money and created paper mountains higher than Mont Blanc. And when frail Genevan mice crept out from this paper mountains, the whole world bursted into laughs.
The Soviet proposal for a full or partial disarmament were buried in the League. There were preparations going on for a new imperialistic war. Everybody could notice this. Small countries cried for help from the League, in vain. Under the strict supervision of its Anglo-French masters the League couldn't make a move.
The weakness of the League came more and more evident. If there still was any authority left and any attention was paid to it, it was only because of the Soviet Union was its member. She gave some lease of life to this languishing institution.
The Soviet people saw the significance of the League of Nations as a small modest river bank, a tiny obstruction in war preparations, as a forum to reveal countries of aggression, a sort of instrument, how insignificant it ever was, in preventing a war to break out.
Soviet Union made her all to prevent a world war as long as the League was this sort of "bank". But Anglo-French imperialists together destroyed even this feeble bank. They declared a war on Germany. All proposals for peace were rejected by them. The League of Nations couldn't act even as the weakest instrument of peace. The expulsion of the Soviet Union gives a clear proof of this. As a member of the the League, she disclosed aggressors without feeling any sort of pity. This didn't please the Anglo-French masters of this Genevan institution. After having gone through this disgraceful play, dictated in London, its lost the last signs of life with the expulsion of the Soviet Union. As an instrument of peace the League of Nations did not exist any more. It simply is — a living corpse.
Still, for some time, the League can pollute the air with its false messages. Mummies can even make "miracles". But the public has lost its confidence in these tear shedding relics. The League of Nations has in the hands of British imperialists become an instrument for flaming their war.

An All-American Beauty: The New Park Hyatt in Washington D.C.
"We're busy servicing guests while at the same time doing finishing touches. And we're handling tons of requests from people all over the world wanting to stay with us." Kim Lur, the attractive dynamo, executive assistant to general manager Michel Morauw pauses to catch her breath. Who could blame her? It's been a heady year at the Park Hyatt, the glamour hotel in Washington's Foggy Bottom, just a few blocks east of the M Street Bridge which crosses Rock Creek into Georgetown.
In June of '05 when we were last in town, our D.C. proverbial "home away from home" was due to close down for a $24 million makeover under the direction of internationally renowned designer Tony Chi. Now it's a year later, and the transformation is nearing completion in time for the Park Hyatt's twentieth anniversary. We're back for the "soft" opening; the official "hard" opening won't happen until the fall. Last-minute furniture and accessories have yet to arrive. Painters have yet to apply final coats in little corners of the premises. No matter. The re-conception is readily apparent.
A huge American flag hanging down two stories beside the entrance makes a bold statement about the new mood and dynamic of the hotel. In the gardens along the façade, the beds of pansies, petunias and impatiens have been replaced by a collection of American grasses, largely native to the Maryland/Virginia countryside. They undulate before low stone walls before giving way to the small birches and brick patio with its lovely fountain -- happily these are untouched and continue to perpetuate the graceful southern mood we always found so appealing. Still the total effect makes a statement: "This is no longer the front of any-hotel but an indigenous American landscape."
Michel affirms the impression: "The Park Hyatt Washington is an American hotel, and it celebrates America," he says. "It is true to Washington but not in a nostalgic way."
We enter the soaring split-level lobby where a neo-modern vision of cherry trees in bloom rises up from the lower level to the ceiling above, anchoring the Park Hyatt in its locale. They are actually film strips enclosed in a pair of gigantic glass boxes. Magnified and repeated endlessly in the boxes' mirrored ceilings and floors, they project life-sized and life-like images of Washington's most beautiful and romantic symbol. Behind them, the far wall, now sheathed in red burlap, has become a vibrant backdrop that continues the all-American theme.
The once formal and distant reception area on the lower level has been moved forward creating the sense of a smaller, more intimate environment. The long counter is gone. Instead three separate desks are manned by attractive greeters at the ready to smooth the check-in process and escort arriving guests to one of the 215 renovated rooms and suites. These, too, reflect the American ambience in classically American materials like the gray limestone of "drop-dead" spa bathrooms, the novel craft accessories, the collection of books dealing with American arts and heritages – all in a context of sleek yet distinctive contemporary furnishings that go far to create the illusion of being a private apartment instead of a standard issue hotel room.
From the reception area, the lobby level stretches out, a long, wide hallway of gleaming wooden floors and marble and mirrored walls that reaches the elevator bank and lounge area before concluding at the Park Hyatt's signature restaurant: the Blue Duck Tavern. There is a sense of spaciousness, of an easy flow from one area to another. What had been an attractive but conventional and sealed off function room is opened up so that light from its ceiling-high windows pours into the hallway.
General Manager Michel Morauw
Redecorated with striking modern tables and comfortable sofas and chairs in neutral shades, the lounge is divided into conversation niches and glass-walled booths which, furnished with Windsor-style benches, are perfect for power Capitol Hill get-togethers where participants can be seen but not overheard. An elegant yet causal setting for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, it will also house the Park Hyatt Washington's Tea Cellar, an innovative offering of rare and limited production teas from the Far East.
The Tea Cellar had not yet opened during our stay, but the Blue Duck Tavern was up, running, and already drawing a crowd. Certainly the return of Chef Brian McBride, home from his world travels while the hotel underwent renovations, has something to do with it. A long time fixture at the Park Hyatt Washington restaurant scene, famed throughout the mid-Atlantic region for his singular crab-cakes, Brian had used his time abroad to visit restaurants and study, in particular, open kitchens. He came home with a good sense of what his ideal kitchen should be like.
One requirement was that it had to go beyond the single counter where three people in white hats display pyrotechnic skills, and clearly the Blue Duck Tavern fulfills that need. The open kitchen is a complete, working kitchen,. The entire operation, from the moment the server submits the order until the prepared dish is placed before the diner, can be seen from every table in the spacious and modern dining room.
It's hard to concentrate on polite dinner conversation with so much theater going on. The kitchen is a stage whose spectacular set consists of a giant cooking island beneath a huge steel hood, marble work tables, and a massive wood-burning oven. Reminiscent of "A Chorus Line," mirrors multiply the scene, not of dancers in this case, but a cast of ten cooks and preparers who go through their steps without missing a beat. And through it all, Brian, like the master choreographer, moves in and out, keeping the momentum going, checking to see every motion in the performance is correct.
It's more than "One Singular Sensation," however, for the adjacent "wine library" gets it share of ogling where a substantial collection of mostly Californians (to be expected in this environment) are arranged on floor to ceiling spot-lit-glass shelves in theatrical display.
In line with the Park Hyatt's all-American theme, Brian has discovered local purveyors in the nearby Amish and Mennonite communities of Pennsylvania. A creamery owned by a Mennonite woman provides his dairy products; the most delicate and delicious tiny eggs come from an Amish farm. He's discovered three different kinds of heirloom tomatoes in the region. The sea bream we dined on came from local Atlantic waters. The duck a bit further north in Long Island. The breast was cooked slowly at a low temperature, cooled then roasted with the leg confit in the wood-burning oven. It was excellent. So were the thick, finger-length French fries which are blanched three times and fried in duck fat.
The Blue Duck Tavern is casual and comfortable, the kind of place where one would like to drop in after a long day. Servers, dressed in blue T-shirts under black jackets, are to a man and woman, engaging, informed, enthusiastic about being in this new and exciting environment. Food and Beverage Manager Judy Hou is on the scene, all over the operation, checking out tables, making sure everything is running smoothly.
"This kitchen and this hotel reflect something about the American spirit," the Belgian-born Michel said. "In America, you can get the best designer, the best art, the best food products, the best woodwork. We have chairs in the restaurant hand-carved by an artisan in Vermont. We have Shaker pieces. Brian has found producers and farmers that are supplying us with the best products. No one in the world can tell us they can do it better than we can do it here."
The staff seems to share Michel's optimism. They reflect the nation's diversity, its informality, its open spirit. "That's what America is all about," he adds. "A lot of people on our staff who have come here recently are so proud to be here. I feel that way too."

Brits progress to closing night finals in record breaking form
British athletes are poised for one last medal charge on the final day of action from the London 2019 World Para Swimming Allianz Championships, with four setting Championship Records during Sunday's heats.
Jessica Jane Applegate broke the Championship Record with a strong performance in the heats of the Women's S14 100m Butterfly, producing a 1:06.03 to set the mark. The 23-year old, who is coached by Alex Pinniger at City of Norwich, is also the current World Record holder for the event. Speaking about her preparations ahead of the race, she said:
"I am a bit tired. The 200m Individual Medley last night was high with emotions, it was a season's best and I wasn't feeling too well after it. But you just have to put that behind you and get back in the pool in the morning and see what you can do."
Speaking about whether the previous heat, in which Yui Lam Chan (HKG) had broken the Championship Record, had affected the plans for her own race, Applegate said:
"I like to concentrate on myself rather than anyone else. I had a good conversation with my coach and did exactly what he told me to do so I'm happy with that. I would love, love, love a PB tonight, that's my target."
Reece Dunn qualifies with a new Championship Record
Reece Dunn was also on Championship Record breaking form in the Men's S14 100m Butterfly heats posting a time of 56.27, which puts him in pole position for tonight's final. Great Britain teammate Jordan Catchpole just missed out on a place in the final, but recorded a personal best time for the event with 59.97.
Double gold medallist from the Championships, Brock Whiston, also returned to the action in the heats of the Women's SB8 100m Breaststroke. The newly crowned S8 200m Individual Medley champion produced another strong performance, finishing the fastest qualifier in a new Championship Record time of 1:16.11. In the final Whiston will take on the European Champion, Ellen Keane (IRE) and Paralympic Champion, Katarina Roxon (CAN), and said of her medal chances:
"I'd like to think I can go out and win it, but you can't worry about what the others do. If the others PB or get a world record there's nothing you can do so you just go in and swim your own race. You've done the hard work so hopefully it will pay off."
Tully Kearney and Suzanna Hext posted the fastest two qualifying times for this evening's Women's S5 100m Freestyle final, with Kearney recording a new Championship Record of 1:18.25. She said of her performance:
"That was a tough but solid heat swim, I'm pleased. It's the first time in four years I've done heat to finals two days in a row. My shoulders are a bit sore so I've had to manage that. The final won't be as close as the 50 I don't think, but it will be a good race."
Hext couldn't hide the delight from her face having smashed her own personal best in a time of 1:22.24. She said:
"I'm really pleased with another PB. It's been a great first Championship for me having only started in January. It's been a whirlwind just to get to this point and I'm especially pleased after what happened on Tuesday, when I had an asthma attack after my heat. I didn't necessarily think I'd be able to race today so I'm over the moon and hopefully there's more in the tank for later."
Maisie Summers-Newton and Ellie Simmonds will also return to the action later on for their Women's SB6 100m Breaststroke final. Both put in a strong heat swim with Simmonds recording a personal best for the event. She said:
"I can't believe I've got a PB, 39.01. I honestly don't know where that came from so I'm really chuffed. It's going to be a great race tonight and Maisie is going to be a good one to watch as I know she's on great form. It's a fun event for me and to come away with my first PB in the event since 2016 is amazing."
Summers-Newton said of her performance:
"I'm pretty happy. I didn't think I would take it out as fast, I thought it would be a 1:35 to be honest. To do that this morning is great and I'll hopefully go faster tonight. I saw Liu (CHN) on the last 25 so I think tonight I'll try and stay on her shoulder."
Ellie Challis secured another final spot in the Women's SB3 50m Breaststroke. Challis, who is classified SB2, finished in a time of 1:10.66 and said of her performance:
"I feel like I just couldn't go, it's been a long week but I feel I can pull it through this evening. It's crazy to make another final in a class above me. Not competing in your class is quite hard sometimes, but competing against a class up and making a final is even better."
Toni Shaw continued her excellent World Championships debut, securing another finals place this time in the Women's S9 50m Freestyle. Shaw qualified fifth fastest in a time of 30.44.
Mikey Jones recorded a seasons best of 30.59 for his heat of the Men's S7 50m Freestyle, whilst Rebecca Redfern touched home in 29.14, a new personal best, for her Women's S13 50m Freestyle heat. Both just missing out on a place in their respective finals.
The action from London 2019 will close later with the Women's 34pt 4x100m Freestyle final, providing Great Britain a great opportunity to bring down the curtain on a golden championships with podium success.

Джордж Денис Патрик Карлин () (12 май, 1937 – 22 юни, 2008 г.) е американски комик, актьор и писател от ирландски произход, носител на награда Грами. Карлин е известен с политическия и черния си хумор, както и с точните си наблюдения върху езика, психологията и религията, като не се страхува да засяга много теми табу. Комедийният му номер "Седем мръсни думи" е част от съдебния процес "F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation" на американския върховен съд. Решенията на съда потвърждават правото на правителството да цензурира представленията на Карлин излъчвани по радиото.

Представленията му са обикновено моноспектакли (stand-up show) и са насочени основно към недостатъците на модерна Америка. Често разглежда съвременните политически проблеми на САЩ и осмива крайностите в американската култура. Много хора го смятат за наследник на късния Лени Брус. Карлин е определен от Comedy Central за втория най-велик stand-up комик на всички времена – след Ричард Прайър и преди Лени Брус. Той е чест изпълнител и гост на The Tonight Show по времето, когато е водещ Джони Карсън. Карлин е първият, който води предаването Saturday Night Live.

Биография
Карлин е роден в Ню Йорк, син на Мари – секретарка, и Патрик Карлин – рекламен мениджър за Ню Йорк Сън. Той е от ирландски произход и е отгледан в римо-католическата вяра.

Израства на улица West 121st в квартала на Манхатън "Морнингсайд Хайтс", за който по-късно казва в едно от шоутата си, че той и приятелите му наричали "Белият Харлем", тъй като звучало много по-страшно. Отгледан е от майка си, която напуснала баща му, когато Джордж бил на две години. На 17 и половина години напуска училището и се записва в армията като техник на радар. Изпратен в базата Barksdale AFB, град Босиер, Луизиана.

В армията започва да работи като DJ към местната радиостанция KJOE, разположена в близкото градче Shreveport. Карлин не завършва срока на служба и е уволнен на 29 юли 1957 г. През 1959 г. Карлин и Джак Бърнс започват да работят заедно за радиостанция KXOL във форт Уърт, Тексас. След успешните представления там Бърнс и Карлин през февруари 1960 г. заминават за Калифорния и две години работят заедно преди да започнат отделни кариери.

През 60-те години започва да се появява в телевизионни забавни програми. През 1961 се жени и през 1963 се ражда дъщеря му Кели. Става все по-популярен като комик, особено с честата си поява в популярното The Tonight Show по NBC. Става скандално известен с шоуто си "Седем думи, които не се казват по телевизията" и през 1978 г. се стига дори до съдебно дело срещу радиостанция, която е излъчила варианта му за радиото "Мръсни думи". По този повод през 2003 г. в Сената е предложен проектозакон за забрана на употребата в радиоизлъчването на седемте "мръсни думи", включително съставни от тях и граматически форми от тях. В друг случай Карлин е арестуван в Милуоки, Уисконсин по обвинение в употреба на нецензурни изрази.

През 70-те години започва да прави комедийни моноспектакли по поръчка на НВО, а през 90-те работи за Фокс Нетуърк със ситкома Шоуто на Джордж Карлин. Участва и в редица филми за големия екран и пише няколко книги. През 1997 г. жена му умира от рак.

С първата награда Грами е удостоен през 1994 г. в категорията "Най-добър комедиен албум", а след това я получава отново през 2000 и 2001 г. През 2001 г. на 15-те Годишни награди за американска комедия е удостоен с награда за цялостно творчество, а през 2004 г. е посочен като номер 2 в класацията за всички времена на Comedy Central на стоте комици, представящи моноспектакли на живо (след Ричард Прайър).

Джордж Карлин умира в 1755 часа (PDT) на 22 юни 2008 г. в болница Сейнт Джон, Санта Моника, Калифорния, на 71 години.

She looked it over and felt that the concept made sense: PowerPoint slides, when projected, are meant to augment a presentation and enhance the audience's experience through a powerful visual journey. If people want a bunch of data and statistics and content, then save it for a handout.
I was honest with her, and told her that I've never actually seen a Prezi presentation that I've enjoyed. In fact, due to the style in which text zooms in and out, transitioning from one spot to another on the screen, most Prezi presentations actually give me motion sickness.
She seemed a little deflated. I decided to see if I was wrong. Prezi has been around for years, so they must be doing something right. Some people really enjoy using it. In fact, it's #14 on this year's edition of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies' (C4LPT) list of top 200 tools for learning!
Is it possible that there's a bright spot in Prezi design that we should be following? What was I missing?
So, I decided to use the #2 tool on C4LPT's list (I used Google!) to see what kinds of things turned up when I searched for "awesome Prezi examples".
The #1 search result was Prezi's own list of the best Prezis of 2014.
The top Prezi of 2014 certainly holds promise. I like the voiceover and background music, which help give a good pace to the speed at which transitions happen in this presentation.
It still seems to me that the zooming and motion paths from one area to the next are a bit gratuitous. You can transition in similar ways in a PowerPoint presentation (having a slide fly in or pushed to the right in order to give way to a new slide) but most people don't choose those transition effects for good reason. They're unnecessary.
I continued my search through the "best" examples on Prezi's website until I came to this year's award winners. Most of the award winners this year suffered from a similar issue: the transitions just seem very Blair Witch to me – the motion of the transitions seems to overwhelm the content being presented. There was one example, however, that seemed to effectively integrate the transitions with the story they were trying to tell.
In this example, the transition seems to serve a purpose: highlighting the journey that the character on the screen (who represents anyone in the audience) is on, struggling but always climbing to new heights.
Should we (or you) be using Prezi? I don't know. I'm not sold. It's certainly a tool with potential, but like PowerPoint, there are so many ways to abuse the tool (and your poor audience is the group that suffers the consequences of such abuse).
Think you can change my mind? I'd love to hear from you if you have some good examples of Prezi that tell a good story and don't cause motion sickness!
Hey Brian – as you noted, Prezi can be used for both good and evil. Amateur Prezi presentations definitely use zooming the same way PowerPoint users feature ridiculous transitions that offer no value to the audience. When used effectively though, the "one canvas" concept and spatial movement features produce more engaging and comprehensible presentations for audiences.
Hopefully those help demonstrate the potential of Prezi. We look forward to your feedback!
I LOVE these examples. Each of these really goes to the heart of: before putting together a visual aid, you need to know what story you want to tell. And I really appreciate the comparisons between what it would look like in PPT vs Prezi. Ok, maybe I'm coming around a bit… maybe I'm even inspired to play around with some data visualization… thanks for sharing these!!
Ah, 3rd grade! I can definitely appreciate the need for non-linear thinking. Any chance you have Prezi examples we can take a glimpse of? I definitely think it's easier to inspire people (like me… the skeptics) when they can see what's possible!!
I don't have anything to share that is any better than what has been provided, or than what you have found. I actually don't get to use it that often because I make presentations for other people who their presentations developed in PP. 🙁 But man, if I could, I would use Prezi way more!
In my opinion, I think Prezi's come across as more visually interesting, and while I agree that too many transitions can make folks sea sick, a concept like the 2014 Prezi would be really hard to do well in PP. I am not sure Prezi is for everyone, but for those who like a Universe to play in, I really recommend they give it a try- It is fun!

Divorce Or Separation May Affect Taxes.
Home » Account On Us » Divorce Or Separation May Affect Taxes.
Taxpayers who are divorcing or recently divorced need to consider the impact divorce or separation may have on their taxes. Alimony payments paid under a divorce or separation instrument are deductible by the payer, and the recipient must include it in income. Name or address changes and individual retirement account deductions are other items to consider.
Child Support Payments are not Alimony. Taxpayers can deduct alimony paid under a divorce or separation decree, whether they itemize deductions on their return. Taxpayers must file Form 1040; enter the amount of alimony paid and their former spouse's Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
Deduct Alimony Paid. Taxpayers should report alimony received as income on Form 1040 in the year received. Alimony is not subject to tax withholding so it may be necessary to increase the tax paid during the year to avoid a penalty. To do this, it is possible to make estimated tax payments or increase the amount of tax withheld from wages.
Report Alimony Received. Taxpayers should report alimony received as income on Form 1040 in the year received. Alimony is not subject to tax withholding so it may be necessary to increase the tax paid during the year to avoid a penalty. To do this, it is possible to make estimated tax payments or increase the amount of tax withheld from wages.
IRA Considerations. A final decree of divorce or separate maintenance agreement by the end of the tax year means taxpayers can't deduct contributions made to a former spouse's traditional IRA. They can only deduct contributions made to their own traditional IRA. For more information about IRAs, see Publications 590-A and 590-B.
Report Name Changes. Notify the Social Security Administration (SSA) of any name changes after a divorce. Go to SSA.gov for more information. The name on a tax return must match SSA records. A name mismatch can cause problems in the processing of a return and may delay a refund.

Euphemism • \YOO-fuh-miz-um\ • Noun – The substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant; also: the expression so substituted
"Never answer your cell phone in the bathroom," advised the grizzled information technology professional to his fresh-faced new charge. "If you do, the euphemism should always be 'I'm in the equipment room.' That always explains the odd echo."

The Harrisburg Heat professional soccer team will open its home schedule on Saturday night at 7:05 p.m. at the Farm Show's Large Arena against the Missouri Comets.
The contest will help kick off the Heat's fourth season of action following a nine-year hiatus. After a 2-18 season in the Major Arena Soccer League last year, the Heat, coached by Tarik Walker, have added former league MVP Aduato Neto to the roster in hopes of sparking a turnaround. In addition, ex-Heat standout Chris Williams has been coaxed into returning to the team.
The Heat also bring back Tyler Witmer and Ken Fultz, who combined for 35 goals last season.
Missouri will be led by reigning league MVP Leo Gibson, who scored 48 goals last season.
