The pride of being a blacker, grosser, and more detestable sinner than other people
Thread starter Pergamum
Ordinary Guy (TM)
Spurgeon:
"There is a certain breed of Calvinist, whom I do not envy, who are always jeering and sneering as much as ever they can at the full assurance of faith. I have seen their long faces; I have heard their whining periods, and read their dismal sentences, in which they say something to the effect - "Groan in the Lord always, and again I say, groan! He that mourneth and weepeth, he that doubted and feareth, he that distrusteth and dishonoureth his God, shall be saved." That seems to be the sum and substance of their very ungospel-like gospel. But why is it they do this? I speak now honestly and fearlessly. It is because there is a pride within them - a conceit which is fed on rottenness, and sucks marrow and fatness out of putrid carcasses. And what, say you, is the object of their pride? Why, the pride of being able to boast of a deep experience - the pride of being a blacker, grosser, and more detestable sinner than other people. "Whose glory is in their shame," may well apply to them. A more dangerous, because a more deceitful pride than this is not to be found. It has all the elements of self-righteousness in it."
From "Full Assurance" by C. H. Spurgeon, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, 1861, p. 292.

I believe J.C. Ryle and Martyn Lloyd Jones have mentioned similar things. In the case of Mr. Lloyd Jones, I believe, he spoke about how some people would give their testimony with a prideful outlook on their pre-regenerated life.

I remember this quote. It was an eye-opener for me, and the sermon it was contained in was a great help to me. Looking at 2 Peter 1:3-11, Peter seems very interested in making Christians have very high confidence that they are saved, for the reasons that it preserves us from sin, and makes for a splendid entrance into heaven. We will have our sorrows here on earth, but a Christian does much better in walking above the world when assured, than when not. Assurance or none, yes the grace of God is present, but the latter has a rough time of it.
Our former lives are a point of shame. I did the same thing for a while, even with my deep waters on assurance and whether I was really regenerated; that is, being proud of the blackness. It's not healthy or humble, and keeps you from trusting Christ.

Those of us who come from an evidently sinful background have all done this, at least I know I have.

I have seen this attitude in youth group speakers who would boast that at our age they would have been thrown out of the group they are now "preaching" in front of. In that scenario it was used as a shameful play at relevance

Puritan Board Post-Graduate
It has been pointed out to me on more than one occasion that early on in his ministry Paul said he was "the least of the apostles", but by the time he was nearing the end of his ministry he called himself "the chief of sinners". The fact is the closer we get to the Lord, the more ugly our sin is to us. Even so, with the understanding of the depth of our sins should come the deep joy in knowing how deeply we are forgiven. To moan and groan all the time seems to say that Christ is not enough for us.
J. Baldwin:
I am not sure how to reconcile these two things. The New Testament overwhelmingly speaks of God's peoples as saints and not sinners. But of course, there is that example of Paul.
CharlieJ
I don't know that Paul's statement as "chief of sinners" ought to be understood in the present tense, as in, "I am right now the most morally bankrupt person I know." He just got finished saying, "Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief." The implication is that he is not now those things. So, I think chief of sinners might be a cumulative reference to his former life, including persecuting the saints.
Charlie:
So, if this is true, I don't know of a single NT verse which speaks of Christians in the present tense as sinners. Do you?
No, and I think this is intentional. In the Old Testament, the term "sinner" is reserved for those outside God's covenant, either because they were never in it or because they have broken it. The Pslams use it that way a lot. The Gospels, too, make it a point that Jesus had dealings with "sinners," a group that the majority religious culture had deemed outside the pale.
Bill The Baptist
Puritan Board Graduate
I think that Paul was definitely speaking in the present tense, he was a sinner as we all are. However the imputed righteousness of Christ has made us blameless before God. The point of admiting the fact of your sin should not be out of guilt or pride, but out of gratitude for the gift that God has given you. You are in fact a sinner, but in the eyes of God you have been justified.
The point I was trying to make, and I think this is what Paul was saying is that in the presence of a holy God, we cannot help but see how bankrupt we are without Him. It doesn't mean that we go out and sin more, it means our sin becomes more awful to us the closer we get to Him.
The one who grovels in his sin is not really looking at a holy God, but focusing on his unrighteousness.
As believers, we are complete in Christ, and when God looks at us, He sees Christ so we are righteous in Him, but that doesn't change the fact that we we will still sin, and our sin looks more ugly the more we look at His holiness.
Alan D. Strange
Puritan Board Senior
I think that the Spurgeon quote has been herein somewhat misapprehended.
Read it carefully: Spurgeon is not speaking of someone recalling his sinful past. He is speaking of someone in the present who glories in denominating himself the blackest of sinners, whose focus is more on self than on Christ. He's referring to a certain hyper-Calvinistic sort who can't call himself enough bad names but who is really quite self-righteous, the kind of person opposing Spurgeon in a link on the recent post about "hyper-Spurgeonism."
Yes, as Paul said of himself near the end of his ministry, we are all, in one sense, with referrence to ourselves, the chief of sinners. What true believer when soberly reflecting disdains such a reality? And yet, as has been said, he, as have all those who trust in Him, obtained mercy.
We are, as Luther said, simul peccator et iustus, at the same time a sinner and righteous. Where do we see a saint in the NT struggling with sin? Romans 7, though there may no longer be the kind of consensus that there was (to a man among the Reformers) that Romans 7 has reference to a believer.
CalvinandHodges
I think the context of Full Assurance enlightens Spurgeon's point above. Spurgeon conceives of Full Assurance as a work, and solely a work, of Grace in the heart of the believer. The self-righteous hyper-Calvinist that Spurgeon is talking about derives his Assurance from his own personal experience of his sinful nature. In other words: the hyper-Calvinist trusts that he is saved because he believes he is a sinner. The Calvinist trusts in God for his salvation. The hyper-Calvinist is proud that he is a sinner. The Calvinist is ashamed of his sin.
When Paul calls himself the "Chief of Sinners" then I think we should accept the full face value of what Paul is saying, and not seek to imitate him at this point. I believe that Paul is trying to point out that if God can save the "Chief of Sinners" then there is no reason in the world why God cannot save you or I - who are less than the Chief of Sinners, 1 Tim 1:15,16.

Puritan Board Professor
Let us not forget the righteousness of Jesus imputed to us is foreign, just as much as the sin was foreign imputed to Jesus. So when we say God looks at us as saints do not forget He sees what is under the covering. I like to think of this in the analogy of adoption. God adopts us (Imputation) and now that we are His child He will gradually change us (infusion) and the flesh that has yet to be changed is rotten.

And for me, at least, I'm only highlighting those sins that show how cool I was. I'm certainly not sharing the truly darkest parts of my days. : (
southernpuritan
I refer to the fact of my previous disbelief and atheism as well as my sin at times when I am communicating the Gospel to non-believers. I usual bring this up so I can point out my own folly without directly pointing to their rebellion. I think this is also one of Paul's intentions of "chief of sinners" as much as an indication of his unworthiness and transformation by grace. I don't think any of these uses is prideful at all. At least not pride in anything other than the work of the Holy Spirit, and I wouldn't say that an honest illustration of personal repentance instead of public judgment outside the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 5:9-12) is prideful. Pride in my previous sin would be proclaiming my lack of it now, as opposed to recognition of new sins as I mortify the old. This is the shame I seek, not the shame of referring to my own sin before or after my acceptance of Christ. I don't know that I have actually met anyone quite like the one Spurgeon describes, but I suppose such a person does exist; or perhaps I am misunderstanding what he is saying here. My glory is not in my shame of sin, but my reason for rejoicing certainly is.
J. Dean
It's one thing to bring up a past sin with an attitude of remorse or disdain.
It's quite another to hold it up as a badge of honor, which makes me wonder whether or not the person in question has a real understanding of repentance.
I have a sinful past, as do many of us. If anybody were to ask me about it, I would explain it. But there's nothing to be proud of about it, and there's nothing to brag about in it.
But there is something to be thankful for in that our sins are no longer counted against us. And THAT brings a smile to my face.
Alan D. Strange said:
I'll provide the next part of the quote from the sermon, because it helps clarify his intentions.
I would sooner a man boast in his good works than boast in his good feelings, because you can deal with the man who boasts in his good works, you have plain texts of Scripture, and you convict him of being a legalist but this other man boasts that he is no legalist, he can speak very sharply against legality, he knows the truth, and yet the truth is in not in him, in its spirit because still he is looking to his feelings, and not looking to the finished work of Christ. Of all the Diabolians that ever stole into the city of Mansoul, Mr. Live-by-feeling was one of the worst of villains, though he had the fairest face. Brethren, you had better live by works than live by feelings, both are damning forms of trust, but the one is more deceptive and more delusive than the other by far. You are justified by faith, not by feelings, you are saved by what Christ felt for you, not by what you feel, and the root and basis of salvation is the cross, and "other foundation shall no man lay than that which is laid," even though he place his experience there, he builds "wood, hay and stubble," and not the corner stone, which is Jesus Christ the Lord.
C.H. Spurgeon - "Full Assurance," 1861, Sermon 384 - Taken from Ages Library Software
That part is clear. Thanks Jake.
But isn't moaning and groaning in our sin part of being humble at the same time, so we can appreciate our gift? (James 4:7-10) Is James only talking to unregenerate sinners here or is he also referring to those who already claim to know Christ?

Pergamum said:
The New Testament sure does spend a lot of time instructing us in the way of righteousness. It does that for a reason. We are sinners. It spends a lot of time telling us to pursue holiness and overcome temptation for a reason. How can you conclude that the New Testament doesn't overwhelmingly speak of God's people as sinners? That is a new one on me.
(1Jn 1:6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
(1Jn 1:7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
(1Jn 1:8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(1Jn 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1Jn 1:10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
(Jas 4:7) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
(Jas 4:8) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
(Jas 4:9) Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
(Jas 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
(Jas 4:11) Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
(Jas 4:12) There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
(Jas 4:13) Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
(Jas 4:14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
(Jas 4:15) For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
(Jas 4:16) But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
(Jas 4:17) Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
PuritanCovenanter said:
I suppose we could start another OP to prove that the NT mostly speaks of those who believe as saints (who sometimes sin) as opposed to sinners.
This is a great quote from Rev Winzer:
I would also caution people to beware of the medieval whip, whereby Christians gain some sort of psychological satisfaction from the pain of being awakened to their sins because conviction makes them feel spiritually alive.

Toward a new philosophy of preventive nutrition: from a reductionist to a holistic paradigm to improve nutritional recommendations
Anthony Fardet, Edmond Rock
Advances in Nutrition 2014, 5 (4): 430-46
The reductionist approach has been predominant to date in human nutrition research and has unraveled some of the fundamental mechanisms at the basis of food nutrients (e.g., those that involve deficiency diseases). In Western countries, along with progress in medicine and pharmacology, the reductionist approach helped to increase life expectancy. However, despite 40 y of research in nutrition, epidemics of obesity and diabetes are growing each year worldwide, both in developed and developing countries, leading to a decrease in healthy life years. Yet, interactions between nutrition-health relations cannot be modeled on the basis of a linear cause-effect relation between 1 food compound and 1 physiologic effect but rather from multicausal nonlinear relations. In other words, explaining the whole from the specific by a bottom-up reductionist approach has its limits. A top-down approach becomes necessary to investigate complex issues through a holistic view before addressing any specific question to explain the whole. However, it appears that both approaches are necessary and mutually reinforcing. In this review, Eastern and Western research perspectives are first presented, laying out bases for what could be the consequences of applying a reductionist versus holistic approach to research in nutrition vis-à-vis public health, environmental sustainability, breeding, biodiversity, food science and processing, and physiology for improving nutritional recommendations. Therefore, research that replaces reductionism with a more holistic approach will reveal global and efficient solutions to the problems encountered from the field to the plate. Preventive human nutrition can no longer be considered as "pharmacology" or foods as "drugs."

Otherwise, no salad. | A Continuous Lean.
A rare personal note from your humble steward about how people from the midwest interpret salad.
It is amazing how much this series hit home with me and how ahead of their time they were. Here's an extra helping of potato salad for you Mr. Morris. Otherwise, no salad.
Agreed. These ads paid homage the old guys who nursed Pabst on Saturday mornings after the graveyard shift. Who ate pickled eggs sold out of 2 gallon jars on the bar. They threw steel tip darts. I miss those guys.
Oh yeah – it wasn't Memorial Day, or the Fourth, or Labor Day until Grampa showed up with the pickled eggs. No one ate them but him. I still have the potato salad though. Ohio!
Here in Portugal we have a mix of potato and egg salad called – Russian Salad – I really don't know if it has anything to do with russia but we eat it all the time with fish!… "happy memorial day" … upppss… sorry .. lololol….
today's weather and this commercial remind me of my first beer – 8 years old with dad, just arrived at the summer rental in lavallette, nj – sweltering hot with nothing to drink but a sixer of cold, cold high life. i guess we could have had a glass of tap water – but dad, being a sucker for a 'moment', opted for the beer instead. i had one, he had two. mom came along soon after, none the wiser.
In my family (from Michigan), "salad" apparently means "any collection of cold food served in the same dish." In addition to the usual fruit, tossed, potato, egg, and macaroni salads, our summer holidays include "Frozen Salad" which is essentially cherry ice cream pressed into a casserole dish; "Slush Salad" which is semi-frozen orange and pineapple juice with sliced bananas; "Jell-O Salad" which is any concoction involving more than one flavor of gelatin; and "Apple Salad" which is a less-healthy take on Waldorf Salad, made with apples, marshmallow, and chopped Snickers bars. None of these are considered dessert. They are all side dishes, and it can be guaranteed that after a lunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, and "salads", there will always be a cake or pie (and ice cream) to finish it off. Gotta love the Midwest.
Two summers ago, my wife and I decided to have a Mad Men viewing party for the season premiere and made a bunch of "1960's party foods" like meatballs (in a crock pot of course), a cheese ball (with Ritz), cocktail weenies, a chip and dip…the whole thing! And I realized, this is the exact same food my family still serves at every birthday party and holiday get-together. My wife, who is from NY, couldn't believe it. To your point MW, there's definitely no place like the midwest. I'm convinced that it's still 1965 in my hometown of Belleville, IL.
btw, the same writer who wrote this campaign (jeff kling) also wrote the original dos equis stuff.
Visited my grandparents in rural Minnesota a few years ago.. went out to dinner and got a steak.
The waitress gave me the option of a baked potato or salad.
it ended up being jello with canned fruit in it.
It's not a nocoast feast until there's a bowl of cool whip cherry salad on the table.
As a Wisconsinite (always and forever) and now transplant in Boston, first and foremost, I cherish my Miller High Life. There was nothing like heading over to a friend's house for a holiday gathering. Walking into the garage to grab a High Life out of a his old man's shop fridge (read… the old fridge from the kitchen) and then saddling up at the picnic table littered in "salads." For on those days, neither one was ever in fear of running out. And if I remember correctly, the picnic table cover (a plastic, floral pattern no doubt) was stapled underneath the table to prevent any fly aways. O' Midwest, how you show your true colors!
I like the way you refer to it as the Middle West.
My in-laws are mid-western transplants (to NYC). Every holiday must include this: a salad made of cherry jello, crushed pineapple, and julienned orange peel, topped with miracle whip and served on a leaf of iceberg lettuce. My parents (born and bred NYers) are appalled. I've grown rather fond of it. And it ain't a holiday without it. I don't really eat it, mind you. And what about Peas and Cheese? Actually, I love Peas and Cheese, if you use good Wisconsin sharp cheddar. Exotic!
Great commercial! So much for a productive morning.
It is better than being referred to as the Middle East!
Thanks for posting these videos. I watch them on a regular basis, and like many others, these are my favorite ad campaigns of all time. I remember seeing my first one on tv with the silver refrigerator humming in the background.
These ads make me miss home a whole lot. Things were and still are far more mellow there than here. I wish I could at least have my favorite beer once in a while to remind me of home. MGD (the only Miller beer available here) just doesn't cut the mustard.
High Life just reminds me of hot summers, BBQs, the 4th of July, and the 1960s grocery store 2 mins walk from home. The only thing they have changed in the place is the sign out front. When I was a kid, they used to give me free pretzels, and they still have the Voortmans cookies bins near the bread aisle. Anyone remember Voortmans? You would if you are from the mid-west!
There's some place other than the Midwest? Sorry to hear it.

Paid Game Player Review: Legit Gaming App or Scam?
It's no secret that you can get paid to game online. Rewarded play apps give you points that can be exchanged for gift cards and PayPal cash just for gaming. There are tons of rewarded play apps available on the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy store, but that can be harder to find for iPhone users.
But when there is a will, there's a way. Apple and Android users alike can turn to desktop sites for their rewarded play. Paid Game Player has been a prominent gaming site for over 16 years, but should you trust this site with your time and efforts?
Let's take an honest look at rewarded play site, Paid Game Player. Continue reading below to see is Paid Game Player is legit or not.
What is Paid Game Player?
Launched in 2006, Paid Game Player is one of the oldest rewarded play sites that is still up and running today. With over 500,000 users since its conception, this site has remained relevant throughout the years.
There is a wide variety of available games including puzzle games, Mahjong, card games, board games, and bingo. Paid Game player does restrict access to many of their games, there are only so many you can play with a free subscription.
Paid Game Player offers a free subscription and a premium subscription for $4.99 a month. The premium subscription unlocks every game on the site and enables more ways to earn on the site including game reviews, surveys, and watching ads.
While you can accumulate points by playing free games, the primary way to earn on Paid Game Player is through betting on games. Betting takes place by paying a wager, and if you win you can take home a cash prize.
But here's the deal with Paid Game Player: when you play, you play against bots. That means that skill does not come into factor on this site. Your win is completely determined by the site's algorithm and according to our research, the algorithm is not very generous.
For these reasons, we would not classify this site as a real money gaming site. Paid Game Player is better classified as a pay to play gaming site with rewarded play elements.
How Much Can You Earn on Paid Game Player?
The minimum amount of points you have to earn in order to cash out on this site is 35,000 which can get you a $50 gift card. This is relatively high for rewarded play games; it can take a few months of consistent play to be able to reach the minimum points for cash out.
Points are added to your account when you watch ads, play games, and take surveys. When you're ready to cash out, choose your gift card and wait a few business days for it to be processed and sent to your email.
If you don't want to wait for the cash out minimum, Paid Game Player hosts daily lotteries with prizes of $10, $50, and $250. Spend your points to enter tickets into the daily lottery in lieu of waiting for a gift card.
Because the point minimum required for payout is so high and the gaming software is unforgiving, the chances of earning any money on this site are relatively low.
Is Paid Game Player Legit?
Paid game Player is not a scam site. It has been around for years and paid out hundreds of users throughout that time, it's just not the best option out there. The cons do not outweigh the pros for this site, even though it is technically legit.
Multiple ways to earn
Wins are not based on skill
Minimum payout threshold is high
Limited free games
Reports of malware and spyware after using Paid Game Player
Paid Game Player isn't our favorite gaming destination but here are several options for rewarded play apps that we love. You can play and earn for free on Mistplay, Appstation, Money RAWR, and Money Turn. For iOS users looking for rewarded gaming, we recommend MatchtoWin.
You deserve to get rewarded for gaming, just not on this site.

Discussion in 'Gynaecology and Obstetrics' started by waleed, Oct 7, 2011.
Derya Sert, who was born without a uterus, has become the first woman in the world to receive a womb from a deceased donor. The operation, performed on August 9 by doctors from Akdeniz University Hospital in southern Turkey, has been a success.
This is the third uterus transplant to be performed in the world, but only the first which has been successful. The first-ever attempt dates back to 1931, when a uterine transplant was performed on Eili Elbe "" a trans woman who was born as a male in Denmark. The patient died three months after surgery as her body rejected the organ. Another attempt was undertaken in Saudi Arabia in 2000. A woman received a uterus from a living donor, but the organ had to be removed 99 days later due to heavy clotting.
However, the Turkish physicians are confident about the success of their attempt. In contrast to the Saudi Arabian case, they took the organ from a deceased donor, and this makes a crucial difference, the doctors explained.
"It was a handicap to have a living donor," said micro-surgeon Omer Ozkan, one of the surgical team at Akdeniz University Hospital that performed the operation. "In that operation, the vein was too short for the anastomosis, and the uterus was not supported very well," another member of the team, gynecologist Munire Erman Akar, added.
The medical team said they were able to overcome such difficulties by removing wider tissue surrounding the uterus and placing it well inside the body of the recipient together with longer vessels to supply the organ.
The doctors added that immunosuppressive medications have also improved significantly over the past few years. A recent study by Edwin Ricardo Ramirez and co-authors, who published their results in the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology in 2011, demonstrated using the sheep model that a pregnancy can be carried in a transplanted uterus under the influence of immunosuppressive therapy.
The doctors have stressed that at least six to eight months have to pass before the patient can be handed over to IVF specialists.
Uterine transplantation was once believed to have significant potential. However, with the advent of in vitro fertilization in 1978, the idea was largely shelved.
Amazing.I would like to know if she had ovaries? What about her hormonal milieu. Is this grafted uterus menstruates with or without hormone therapy.

This pattern came from "Professor-Fonz" on Ravelry: High-Functioning Cowl.
I've always loved the wallpaper design from the BBC TV Series "Sherlock". You can buy the wallpaper itself, but it's pretty expensive! This is a nice alternative to be able to create something to wear that has that same feeling.
This piece is knitted in the round using circular needles. Towards the very end, I switched up to double-pointed needles as the number of stitches decreased. In total, it took me 2 weeks or so, just working in the evenings and weekends. Knitted in the fair-isle technique, which gave me plenty of time to practice getting my tension right. The pattern suggests using cashmere yarn, however I just used regular double-knitting yarn. The final item is probably slightly larger than the pattern describes, but I think it's perfect!

Tottenham Hotspur are close to reaching an agreement with Sevilla over the swapping of Argentine winger Eric Lamela with young Spanish winger Brian Kil.
Sky Sports reports that Tottenham Hotspur will be reinforcing their first squad this summer. By seizing the 20-year-old left-wing Kyle from Sevilla in a deal that will send Lamela to the nest, Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
According to Sky Italia, Spurs will pay Sevilla €25 million, or around £21.6 million, to secure Kil in the attacking line-up. Meanwhile, Lamela will be sent to play in La Liga instead. The Argentine attacker made a three-year deal.
For Kyle, the 20-year-old left winger was sent off by Sevilla to Eibar last season, scoring four goals and providing three assists in La Liga. It is seen as the future of the Spanish national team. At present, he has played 3 games for the senior team, although he was dropped from the Euro 2020 squad, but will show his pace for the under-23 team. at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan
While Lamela joined Spurs since 2013, replacing Gareth Bale, who sold Real Madrid, the Argentine winger's performance has not been able to thrive as well as at Roma. Yes, and get injured often.

Heaven's Vault: A video game about translation… only available in English
Video game translation is a topic close to our hearts here at Jackpot Translation and it always pains us to see new titles let gamers down by not delivering content in their language. Thankfully, more developers and publishers are taking issues like translation and localisation seriously these days and the consequences of neglecting languages are more publicised than ever.
This means we are gradually seeing a better standard of translation across the industry, but a new title from Inkle Studios, entitled Heaven's Vault, puts an entirely new spin on the art of translation by making it a central theme of the game itself.
There is one very big problem, though.
Heaven's Vault delves into the art of translation itself
As Julie Muncy puts it in her review of the game for Wired, "Heaven's Vault is about the thrill and uncertainty of lost knowledge — about connecting to the past and to other people." Muncy is a gaming writer featured in major publications across the web, including GameLife, The AV Club, Waypoint and Rolling Stone, not to mention the fact she is an avid gamer herself and analyst of the social role video games play.
Muncy says she has never seen a game tackle "the art of translation" in such detail before and she is not wrong. Heaven's Vault literally puts you in the role of a translator, challenging you to decipher messages in a long-forgotten language.
Crucially, context plays a vital role in the progress you make throughout Heaven's Vault with your previous translations impacting the way you decipher messages later in the game.
Inkle Studios, the game house behind the award-winning 80 Days, has engineered this decoding process into the heart of Heaven's Vault, deviating from the usual concepts of archaeological adventure games that typically revolve around stealing artefacts, killing enemies and generally disrespecting ancient sites.
This is a world away from games such as Tomb Raider which is helped by the fact Heaven's Vault is set in a futuristic universe where gamers can explore lost moons, fallen colonies and doomed civilisations. Oh yeah, and you also have a robot companion named Six to keep the sci-fi element constant as you explore the ancient ruins of future pasts.
All things considered, you would expect Heaven's Vault to deliver some of the best video game translation we have seen in recent years.
A great game, as long as you're happy to play in English
Heaven's Vault is a truly immersive experience that deserves credit for some excellent storytelling. It is not easy to create a game that shuns violence as a key component of its journey, but Inkle Studios has succeeded in doing just that.
Sadly, there is a big problem with Heaven's Vault that reviewers seem to be overlooking. For a game that supposedly explores the art of translation, it is a real shame to see the title is only available in English.
That's right – a game that is basically all about translation has no actual translations available for speakers of other languages.
It is an ironic slap in the face for non-native English speakers, especially when Inkle Studios has gone to the trouble of creating a fictional language for Heaven's Vault and then decided that translating the game into other languages that gamers actually use is not necessary.
Aside from compromising the entire concept of the game (i.e. the beauty of translation), a lack of language support means a lot of people are going to miss out on the immersive nature of Heaven's Vault that allows the game to be so engaging without the usual presence of violence – a major challenge the entire gaming industry needs to address.
There is so much to like about Heaven's Vault but, sadly, all of these positive aspects are tainted by a failure to offer language support for foreign-speaking gamers.

Its a good domain you have there.. Around what price are you looking for this? Are there any traffic details you can provide me?
It's not developed so I don't have any traffic stats, sorry.
Not really sure, I don't need to dump it, but will for the right price. What's it worth?
That's a great domain name. I may be interested if the price is right. If you could throw down a price estimate I might jump on it.
I would't let it go for less than $200.

– Jonathan Safran Foer
Unlike many in the conservative camp, I accept theories of global warming, and accept that man-made activity has played a part in global warming. My differences have only been on what the solutions should be.

– Bill Bryson
The most frightening interview I've ever done was with Dr. Lonnie Thompson of The Ohio State University on the subject of global warming.


"Life is a journey, not a destination." This has always been one of my favourite quotes. Over the years, I have seen so many athletes and executives achieve their dreams and then it is over and onto the next one. All the hard work, sweat and sacrifices along the way are soon forgotten and the joy of achievement too. It is the journey to your success that really counts. Are you enjoying your journey?
When you are striving for something that is important to you, it may seem like the be-all and end-all. Let me now assure you that it isn't. While we are all trying to win, it isn't everything. It is about doing your best. It is about enjoying the journey. Enjoy the highs and don't forget the lows. Lock them away in your memory and use them as your motivation in all facets of your life.
Begin difficult things while they are easy.
Do great things when they are small.
The great things must once have been small.
A thousand mile journey begins with one small step.
Success is not a harbour but a voyage with its own perils to the spirit. The game of life is to come up a winner, to be a success, or to achieve what we set out to do. Yet there is always the danger of failing as a human being. The lesson that most of us on this journey never learn, but can never quite forget, is that to win is sometimes to lose.
Live in the present moment. It is possible to think too much. The less you worry about winning and what other people think, the better you perform.
Make each day an enjoyable one. Have fun, do all things with love, use your best things, wear your favourite outfit more often, live in the moment, enjoy the little things you love, treat yourself, catch up with friends, be mindful, play, do something special and really enjoy the journey. Work can wait!


Olly, Arthur, Darla and Benny Musselman.
They look like they're a bunch of comedians, with the faces that they're making.. I almost expected to see a couple of toes sticking out behind someone's head.
Benny's chosen his pose and he's sticking to it. Smart model-kitty.
Oh the tongue! Too cute!
Usually I'm instantly drawn to one ibk as my favorite. This time I'm in love with each one. Oh how I wish I lived a few thousand miles further west!
I LOVE the way, in each pic, there's an itty bity tounge showing on our two "central characters!"
Yes, I'm with Chispita. I'm totally in love with Benny.
A lot of cute in there, but I am officially in love with Darla.
Again.....adorable. Hugs and hisses as they say. Made my donation to the True Blood Kittens and praying for all their surgeries.....good health and happy furever homes.
They are just PACKED with personality.
Let me guess, Olly's the "straight man" in this act.
Want.Darla. NOW! They are all just too dang cute and funny.
Benny's gaze in these pictures reminds me very much of Lucinda Darling. And Darla looks like a puppy in that last pic.
Oh they are so cute - I love how Olly looks all serious and Darla is being a bit goofy - they look alike but are very different. And of course, Arthur and Bennie are super cuties too!
Darla made me laugh. My goodness, she's cute!
Darla is such a ham for the camera!
Aww... Were they yawning or meowing atcha?
Darla & Benny have GREAT skill with the Cute Head-Tilt!
Darla's addition of the pink kitty tongue is incredible!
Winks, raspberries from the middle kids, and the others looking oh so innocent that it makes you wonder what they are planning! Thanks for a much-needed end of the week laugh, Laurie! Snorgles to the Musselmans!
i think of Olly, ahem, as MY kitten. He's going to be soooo gorgeous as a grown kitten. Floof-a-lishus!
Oh the cuteness!! Am so happy to catch up on all the latest kitty happenings...I'll bet these 4 will go fast--and I am so jealous of their future forever families.
Whatever are you doing or saying to get them to look at you like that, especially Benny??!! So adorable!
Please give me back Benny- he is MINE- wishful thinking!!!!
Olly is quite possible the cutest kitten in the universe!
Your kitties are precious and your photos are outstanding.
Oh it's all true - Arthur and Darla are up to SOMEthing nefarious! And yes, it always IS the "middle children". I had the same problem with my own children: tried FOUR TIMES to get one decent lovely picture of , but NOOOO, first one then another had to goof off or make a face or whatever. How old were they at the time, you say? Hmm...let's see. The punks were about 19, 23 and 25.
Arthur and Darla -- such sweet little goofballs! I think Arthur started it, and you'll notice Darla was looking up at him when he was the one making faces for the camera.
What gorgeous kittens! I want them all to myself!! Oh the cuteness of the tongues...THUD!
oh my goodness! I have just fallen head over heels in love with these kittens!!
Someone get a chocolate box to put these kittens on, stat!
Are you sure Benny is a boy? I've never seen a male tri-color before.

The U.S. Naval Training Center, Bainbridge served the United States Navy for 34 years from its beginning as a recruit training command in 1942 to its closing on March 31, 1976. During that period of time it also served as, among other functions, a mustering-out facility, the home for the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS), the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES), the Naval Reserve Manpower Center, and various specialized training schools. The Navy announced its intention to close the base in 1971 resulting in the final closing in 1976.

Dinachem is a hybrid feminized sativa-dominant feminized Marijuana strain being the most advanced version of the famous Chemdog.
Dinafem Seeds worked in strict collaboration with ChemDawg, the breeder of the original Chemdog. In this collaborative work, they crossed the original seed with various selected seeds of GuavaChem in order to introduce a new vigor and productivity and to retain the pleasant lemon and gasoline taste combined with a hint of pine of the original Chemdog. This work has resulted in an advanced and improved version of the original Chemdog, which keeps several famous characteristics but growing more vigorously.
Like its parent, Dinachem is highly prized for its therapeutic properties and largely used to relieve corporal pains, stress and also to stimulate the appetite.

The Hire Me First initially began through the TIEP (Tracy Industry Education Partnership) which was started in 1995 to motivate and provide comprehensive training for all 11th and 12th grade students to provide a competitive work force. The Hire Me First Program is continuing to develop and implement programs in Tracy schools such as: Interview workshops, career exploration workshop, work ethic workshops, internships and Hire Me First Certifications.
Hire Me First has continued an open dialogue between employers and educators on coordinating related curriculum to universal employment requirements. School administrators, teachers, parents, business leaders and employees are working together to integrate school-based and work-based learning through programs. A goal is to implement this training and hands-on experience in the middle and elementary schools as well.
The Certificate Program is a two year program designed to provide students with tangible proof of specific demonstrated competencies through their own efforts to prepare for employment. Examples of some requirements include on-time class attendance, computer literacy, oral and written communications skills, job shadowing and internship and Total Quality Management activities.
The Job Shadowing Program provides students with hands-on job-site visits relaying fundamental knowledge of the job tasks. This integration of learning experiences involving students with employers encourages students to make more informed decisions about career choices. It also provides motivation through the learning process.

Резня в Бьеловаце () — эпизод войны в Боснии и Герцеговине, вооруженное нападение солдат армии боснийских мусульман под командованием Насера Орича из Сребреницы на сербское село Бьеловац, сопровождавшееся массовыми жертвами среди мирных жителей.

Село Бьеловац находится в Республике Сербской. Рано утром 14 декабря 1992 года солдаты армии боснийских мусульман атаковали Бьеловац, Сикиричи и Лозничка-Риеку. После боя с охранявшими их солдатами Войска Республики Сербской сёла оказались захвачены боснийскими мусульманами. Затем последовали казни мирных жителей, многие из которых во время атаки еще спали и не успели бежать. В селе Бьеловац было убито 68 человек, большая часть из которых была мирными жителями. Еще 41 серб погиб в Сикиричах и Лозничка-Риеке.

Несколько женщин и детей, попавших в плен, были отведены в лагерь в Сребренице, где были подвергнуты пыткам.

После резни село было сожжено. Всего было уничтожено 350 жилых домов и других строений. По состоянию на 2017 год некоторые из жителей Бьеловаца, Сикиричей и Лозничка-Риеки не вернулись в свои дома, поскольку села еще полностью не восстановлены.

По погибшим в резне в Республике Сербской ежегодно совершается панихида.

Muracciole est une commune française située dans la circonscription départementale de la Haute-Corse et le territoire de la collectivité de Corse. Elle appartient à l'ancienne piève de Vivario.

Géographie

Localisation
Muracciole est une commune de montagne. Elle fait partie du canton de Venaco, et est adhérente au parc naturel régional de Corse (P.N.R.C.), dans son « territoire de vie » nommé Centru di Corsica (Centre Corse). Muracciole appartenait à la communauté de Vivario, entité incluse dans l'ancienne piève de Vivario et comprenant Gatti-di-Vivario, Muracciole et le village ruiné d'Arca.

Communes limitrophes

Géologie et relief
La commune est située dans la partie septentrionale du massif du Monte Renoso, dans la Corse Hercynienne ancienne (ou Corse occidentale cristalline), à roches magmatiques, qui comprend les deux tiers de l'île à l'ouest d'une ligne Calvi-Solenzara. Formé de roches granitoïdes datés du Carbonifère-Permien, son socle est constitué par des roches volcaniques et plutoniques de chimie calco-alcaline datées entre -320 et -270 Ma., se caractérisant par des granodiorites et monzogranites recoupées par des granites leucocrates associés à des roches basiques (diorites et gabbros).

Son territoire est le bassin versant du ruisseau de Forcaticcio. Il s'étale en se rétrécissant vers le nord, depuis la ligne de crête au sud-sud-est qui le sépare de Ghisoni, entre la Punta Chiova () et la Punta Paglia () incluant la Punta Muro (), culmen communal, jusqu'au lit du Vecchio en aval du Pont Eiffel. Il est délimité à l'ouest par le cours du ruisseau de Forcaticcio, depuis sa confluence avec le Vecchio ( d'altitude) jusqu'à la fontaine de Rosso d'où il porte le nom de ruisseau de Santa Maria, prolongé vers le sud par le lit d'un affluent sans nom qui a sa source à  d'altitude au nord de la route D69. Au nord-nord-est, une ligne de crête sépare Muracciole de Noceta. Cette démarcation part du Vecchio où se situe le point le plus bas communal ( d'altitude), jusqu'à la Punta Paglia en passant par la Pointe d'Occhio Vario (), Bocca Murella (), Monti Picchiati () et les ruines du refuge d'Ajola ().

Hydrographie
Si l'on ne tient pas compte du Vecchio qui longe au nord le territoire de Muracciole sur environ , le ruisseau de Forcaticcio (ou de Santa Maria en amont) est le principal cours d'eau communal. Il prend naissance sur le flanc nord de la Punta Muro (), « à cheval » sur Muracciole et Ghisoni, dans la forêt territoriale de Rospa-Sorba. C'est un affluent du Vecchio sous le nom de ruisseau de Forcaticcio qu'il prend dès son entrée sur Vivario. Il s'écoule à l'est et en contrebas du village. Son principal affluent est le ruisseau de Larice (rd).

Climat et végétation

La commune est très boisée. Sur les flancs de la ligne de crête au nord de Ghisoni qui la séparant de Muracciole, Noceta, Rospigliani, Ghisoni et Pietroso, s'étale la remarquable forêt de Rospa-Sorba composée essentiellement de Pin laricio de Corse.
Outre cette forêt territoriale d'une superficie totale de , Muracciole possède une forêt communale de pins larici de , au sud de son territoire, en limite et à l'étage inférieur de la forêt territoriale. Elle partage également la forêt communale de Venaco de  au nord de la commune, avec Venaco et Vivario.

L'essence principale qui est le pin laricio de Corse. On trouve dans la partie basse un sous-étage de bruyère arborescente avec, en mélange, le pin maritime aux altitudes inférieures et sur les versants les mieux exposés. Le chêne vert occupe les secteurs rocheux et l'aulne glutineux se développe dans les zones humides.

Voies de communication et transports

Accès routiers

Le village de Muracciole est desservi par une seule route, la D343 qui relie la RT 20 (ex-RN 193) depuis Vivario distant de  seulement, à la RT 10 (ex-RN 198), (Domaine de Casabianda - Aléria).

Au sud et plus haut en direction du col de Vizzavona, au lieu-dit le Chalet, la route D69 emprunte son territoire pour relier Vivario/RN 193, à Sartène/RN 196, avec un itinéraire d'environ  via le col de Sorba, Ghisoni, etc.

Il faut savoir que l'accès au col de Sorba () est quelquefois fermé en hiver, lors de chutes de neige importantes. Le trafic routier est surveillé à la jonction des routes N 193 et D 69 par une webcam mise en place par la Collectivité de Corse  qui le nomme « Vivario - Parking du « Chalet ».

Transports
Ferroviaires

La ligne des Chemins de fer de Corse emprunte son territoire sur une courte distance, avec deux boucles permettant de grimper depuis le pont du Vecchio jusqu'au col de Vizzavona en passant par la gare de Vivario. Mais il n'y a aucun arrêt sur Muracciole. La gare la plus proche se situe à Vivario, la commune voisine. Existait l'ancien tunnel ferroviaire creusé entre la route D343 et la voie de chemin de fer actuelle à  au sud-ouest du village. Jamais utilisé, le tunnel de Muracciole est repris à la Liste des sites Natura 2000 pour ses intérêts patrimoniaux et fonctionnels.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Muracciole est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.
La commune est en outre hors attraction des villes.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des forêts et milieux semi-naturels (100 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (100 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
forêts (54,9 %), milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (42,5 %), espaces ouverts, sans ou avec peu de végétation (2,6 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Muracciole
Le village de Muracciole se situe en bas de la forêt territoriale de Rospa-Sorba, une partie à flanc de montagne et l'autre nichée avec son château et son cimetière au creux d'un petit vallon. Les habitations sont regroupées autour de l'église paroissiale.

Le petit village se distingue par son château dont le style surprend dans le paysage rural corse. Il s'agit en réalité d'une « maison d'Américain » (comme on les appelle couramment dans le Cap Corse) d'allure élégante, dont la construction fut commanditée par un enfant du village, Ange Muracciole, à son retour d'Amérique. Issu d'une famille modeste de Muracciole, cet esprit brillant, entreprenant et courageux, s'embarqua pour tenter sa chance sur le continent américain. Devenu propriétaire de la mine d'Argentière, il participa aux travaux de création du canal de Panama et revint en France fortune faite. C'est de son séjour outre-mer qu'il donna l'ordre à des artisans, dans la seconde moitié du , de construire cette demeure qui deviendra sa résidence secondaire. De retour en France, élu sénateur, il fit appel à Daget, célèbre architecte d'intérieur parisien qui réalisa les aménagements du palais du Luxembourg pour décorer sa demeure. Il épousa Rose Casanelli d'Istria dont il eut deux enfants morts en bas âge. Marie Casanelli d'Istria - Luisi, la sœur de Rose, puis le fils de cette dernière, Jean François Luisi, héritèrent de la demeure qui est encore aujourd'hui propriété de la famille Luisi.

Depuis le village, la vue est grande sur le Monte Cardo (), jusqu'à l'ancienne carrière de marbre sur son flanc oriental, et sur la vallée du Vecchio.

Arca

Arca est un ancien hameau au nord du village. Il a été abandonné après la Première Guerre mondiale. S'y trouve la chapelle Santa-Maria-d'Arca du , classée. Aujourd'hui un éleveur fromager s'y est installé. Sa remarquable production a été plusieurs fois primée.

Au  le village faisait partie de la communauté de Vivario qui comptait alors les lieux habités suivants : Vivariu, E Muracciole, Arca, Gatti et Giumellaccia.
Une passerelle, pont étroit à bandeau de voûte bloqué, enjambant le ruisseau de Santa Maria permettait de relier Arca à Muracciole. Elle est sur le sentier partant de l'église paroissiale de l'Assomption et rejoignant le sentier Mare a mare Nord Variante peu avant la chapelle Santa-Maria-d'Arca ou le village abandonné.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! - Launch Trailer | PS4
Who it Caters to
Back in early September, the Honey's Anime team had the pleasure of attending a special VIP Bandai Namco press event at their local HQ in Tokyo, and we played a whole ton of Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! while there. It's the type of game that you'd want to have friends over with and jam together for the entire night, seeing who can score the highest combos in their favorite songs. Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! is an extremely popular rhythm game that continues to bring a crowd at local arcades in Tokyo, and now you have all of that hype and excitement right in the comfort of your living room. Anyone who's a fan of the franchise will fall in love with its new ranked mode, allowing you to take on ghost opponents and become the number one Taiko master online. For those looking for a brand new music experience with all of your favorite anime and J-pop tracks, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! is one rhythm game you'll definitely not want to sleep on.
Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! is a whole load of fun, not just in single player mode but also with friends and family. You can opt to use the full Taiko drum kit to really immerse yourself in the traditional Japanese cultural experience, or if you're not too comfortable with it, there's always the controller scheme that's embedded in game. The new ranked mode allows you to hop online and take on other opponents via their ghost, to see just how well you match up against them. As you perform longer combos and tackle the harder difficulties, expect your rank to rise even higher as you make your way to the top of the world ladder! What's great about Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! is that there's really no limit to the amount of music you can play, since the replay value is just through the roof whether it be offline or online play.
You're also able to unlock costumes and accessories for your Taiko drum, which only adds more personality to the game and truly makes it more immersive in that regard. While a lot of the songs are from older Taiko no Tatsujin titles, there are a plethora of brand new songs from popular anime such as Attack on Titan or Dragon Ball Super, just to name a couple. With so much to do in this game, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! will be sure to keep you occupied. Just be sure not to make too much noise! 🙂
The Taiko no Tatsujin series doesn't necessarily pride itself on its visuals, but it certainly looks very eye-catchy with all the flashy colors and such while playing. You have all of the different cultural designs which you can see on various characters such as Kimonos and Tengu masks, among many others, which really shows how much attention to detail the Bandai Namco team put into the game culturally speaking. With that being said, the game looks very attractive, and since you're able to fully customize your Taiko drum with various colors and costumes, it adds a little more vibe to the whole experience.
Sound, Music, Gameplay
This is of course where the game shines the most because well, it's a music-based game after all. The wide selection of tracks, ranging from J-pop to exclusive Bandai Namco designed songs, is really impressive, which gives you plenty of options to choose from. Every song comes with its own level of difficulty, with some songs being more demanding than others and so a lot of practice is required to really master the hard ones. Vocaloid songs, for example, often start off a little slow to get you in the zone, but halfway through they really turn up the notch to maximum, and you're just slamming away at your drum to keep up. That's really the appeal of Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session!, where you're constantly being tested on your abilities! The more you start to improve, the more the game rewards you for it. It's quite healthy for your brain too since it helps to develop strong hand-eye coordination and cognitive thinking, since there's so much that your brain has to register all at once, which also helps to keep you stimulated. Even if you lose to an incredibly hard track, for example, you're not as frustrated because you know the reward of consistent practice will only benefit you down the road.
The game provides a nice assortment of beginner tracks to help you ease your way in, before moving onto the more over-the-top songs that will definitely give you a run for your money. Surprisingly, playing on the PS4 controller was quite easy since the type 2 layout made it so that most of your buttons were a specific color. So for example the X, Square, Triangle, and Circle buttons were mapped to red while the shoulder buttons were mapped to blue. It made it really comfortable to hit the right notes at the right time, since even if you pressed the incorrect button it still would count as that particular color.
Ranked mode is a very fun way to truly test your skills against other players around the world, and truly helps you to know just where you stand in terms of your own abilities and where to improve. For example, maybe you're really solid at the more slower tempo songs but then once you hit the faster tempos, you start to slip up a little. By playing ranked mode you can see how the other opponent plays and try to perhaps learn from them so that later, you can improve on your pace over time. Through ranked mode you can collect coins too, which you unlock through completing various objectives on the bingo cards. You can take these coins to purchase in-game items as we mentioned before, as well as emblems and tags! There's just so much to do, and with all the cool crossover characters like Hatsune Miku from Vocaloid and Heihachi Mishima from Tekken, the fun just never stops!
Honey's Gameplay Consensus:
Many hours have passed and we're still hooked! Just when you think your high score is enough, someone comes in and swoops away your spot. There's always something new to explore about your own performance, and self improvement is always a great thing. We hope you found our review of Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! to be a worthwhile read, and that it provided you with enough information to help you better decide on your purchase!
Honey's Pros:
A TON of songs to choose from!
Great crossover material from the Tekken and Hatsune Miku franchise.
Easy-to-learn controls and very intuitive.
Hours go by playing this game! It's addictive!
Honey's Cons:
Wish there were more fun and unique multiplayer options.
Honey's Final Verdict:
We pray that sometime down the road, Bandai Namco will think to add in more songs so that we can continue to jam away all night with our Taiko drums! Again, we hope you enjoyed our review and of course, be sure to follow us on Twitch as well at Twitch.tv/honeysgaming to catch us live, playing your favorite titles! Hit us up as well on Discord to join our official Honey's Anime community and share your passion for the otaku life!
As always, for all things sweet, with news straight from Japan, be sure to keep it locked here on Honey's Anime.
