Adrafinil is one of the most popular Modafinil alternatives. The nootropic is categorized as a eugeroic supplement which means that it's designed to improve alertness without necessarily affecting the entire nervous system. A closer look at its latest reviews, however, reveals that the "smart drug" has attracted mixed opinions. And for that reason, we found it wise to dig deeper and find out whether this noot is worth trying or not.
Before we even talk about the noot and the science behind it, let's first see what people generally think about it. So as part of our research, we searched for different comments posted on Twitter and Adrafinil Reddit platforms. And here are some of the views we collected.
"It works although I think it's just a pale imitator of the actual Modafinil especially if you have narcolepsy." – A Reddit user's comment.
"I took 300mg Adrafinil today and it is…interesting." From a Twitter user.
"Adrafinil is a legitimate option. It's a pro-drug and a grey market supplement as well." From another Twitter user.
"This is a good noot for occasional use but sadly builds tolerance over time." A Reddit user's comment.
So, as you can see, although it seems to work most of the time, in our view, it has something close to a 90% efficacy rate compared to Modafinil. And if the sampled social media posts above are anything to go by, it's a go-to choice for anyone would like a smooth acting drug.
That said, you need to be mindful of the fact that this noot may build tolerance over time. And in that case, we'd recommend taking breaks to give yourself time to recover from the tolerance after taking it for several weeks. Also, it might be a good idea to stack it up with other noots if you want more oomph (read on for some stacking ideas later)!
Actually, the reason why Adrafinil has become so popular is that its use is unregulated within the US. This is unlike Modafinil which is much more difficult to obtain. So, if you don't want the hassle of going to the dark web to shop for moda, then Adrafinil would be a great alternative.
Okay, enough of this stuff. Let us now delve deeper into the science behind it.
Adrafinil, also popularly known by the brand name of Olmifon is a noot known for improving alertness, promoting wakefulness and boosting one's mood. The formula has been in use in France since the 70s where it's a go-to choice especially for folks who have to work during the late hours of the night.
So, this supplement works in two ways. First off, it boosts the levels of hypocretin in your brain. Wait, what's that? Hypocretin is one of the neurotransmitters responsible for promoting wakefulness.
Besides that, the noot works by boosting cognitive performance and memory. This is achieved by breaking down Glutamine which is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the body. Glutamine is more or less a system through which your cells communicate according this study.
Although not much was known about this cognitive enhancer here in the US, recent reports have classified Adrafinil as a prodrug. Basically, a prodrug is a substance that is broken down by the body to form metabolites.
Another way that this reputed Modafinil-alternative works is by boosting your levels of dopamine. This is yet another neurotransmitter and is mainly associated with the enhancement of pleasure responses. And the more of dopamine you have in your system, the better you're likely to feel.
One thing you need to know is that the way Adrafinil and Moda work is by preventing the removal of dopamine from the system. And this ultimately helps you to remain alert throughout the day. Other stimulants, on the other hand, work by boosting the production of dopamine.
Different observations have shown that the approach taken by these two noots, unlike other stimulants, makes them potentially less addictive.
So, this drug works in almost the same way moda does. Only that it uses a less-invasive and gentler approach. And so, if you're used to high doses of Modafinil, the typical Adrafinil dosage may not give you the kind of "lift" you might be looking for.
But if this is your first-time using noots and you want to get used to something that's affordable and readily available, Adrafinil would, no doubt, be a good option to go for.
What are some of the reasons why you should use a eugeroic supplement and not just any other noot out there?
Other caffeine-based supplements are known for their ability to cause near-instant effects but the problem is that they also lead to a "crash." That is if unless you take them, then you're bound to be sleepy and completely helpless.
That's not the case with a eugeroic supplement of Adrafinil's nature. As mentioned, this noot works by sustaining the naturally optimal levels of dopamine in the body. This is a gentler approach which also means you won't experience a "crash" even if you decide to stop taking it.
When is the best time to take Adrafinil before, during or after work?
What's the best time of the day to take noots for college students?
Those are just but a few of the questions we came across during our research – and we thought it's important to respond to them at this point.
The main factor that determines the right time to take a noot is its short-term and long-term effects. You don't want to wake up early in the morning, take a caffeine-based stack only to suffer a terrible "crash" in the middle of the day.
With Adrafinil, though, you don't need to worry about all that. If anything, the noot works in a very gentle manner which means you can even take it a few minutes before your meeting or exam.
And the best part is that, by taking the appropriate dose of it, you can stay focused for long hours. And this is partly because this noot prevents the breakdown of dopamine by blocking its reuptake.
Yup, you read that right. Adrafinil has the ability to give the racetams a run for the money as far as improving synapse plasticity goes. It works by stimulating Glutamine receptors effectively activating the Glutamine pathways.
This eventually enhances synapse plasticity which is linked to better learning abilities and also better memory performance.
And for that reason, we'd think of it as one of the best nootropics for learners that's currently legal. On top of that, it's a popular bet for helping folks with ADHD or indeed any other condition that leads to loss of focus.
First off, the daily recommended dosage of this noot is 150 to 300mg. If this is your first time using noots, we'd suggest starting out with the 150mg dose. Then you can take a bit more of it over time, as desired.
The good thing with starting out with a small dose is that you can take it for longer without building up tolerance.
What's more? You get the opportunity to increase your dosage especially if you're looking for an extra kick.
The best way to take Adrafinil is by swallowing the capsules with a glass full of water. Don't like the idea of swallowing pills? Then, in that case, all you'd need to do is empty the capsules into an empty glass and add some water into it and mix.
The good news is that the powder is water-soluble. And, therefore, you'd only need to drink the water, as usual, to get this stimulant working in your body. How cool is that?
But even with that said, we'd like to caution you on the need to stick to the recommended dosage. This is the best way to avoid some of this noot's side effects (more on these later).
Generally, the best approach is to start with the least dosage possible and then keep increasing it over time as your body adjusts to the supplement. Then if you notice that you're taking the maximum dosage without any significant effects, you'd need to take a short break from using it.
And as we have already noted, it's easy to stop taking Adrafinil anytime you feel like because there are no withdrawal effects involved.
The good news is that this noot is readily available online. And even better, you can buy it without the need for a doctor's prescription. What's more? Its use is unregulated even in countries like the UK and Canada.
Simply put, it's legal to buy and own it!
However, the current FDA law makes the sale of unscheduled compounds a bit difficult and that's why your best bet is to look for it in the grey market.
Fortunately, there are a number of reputable online stores from where you can buy it – Afinil Express is just one of them. Normally, the drug is sold in 10 and 20-gram packages. Most noteworthy suppliers will be sure to pack it up in a discrete packaging before mailing it to you.
Just make sure that the company you're ordering from has a clear refund policy – if you're ordering from outside the US for instance. And that's because in case your parcel is detained by the customs guys you want the company you ordered from to be able to refund your order or reship it to you (e.g. through a different address).
Another important point to note is that you're safer buying this, or any other noot, from a GMP certified facility. This is the only way to be sure that the product will not only be safe for your health but also of the highest quality possible.
The good news is that there are no major side effects to worry about especially if you're sticking to the right dosage. But that said, it's important to remember that noots can place quite a bit of a strain on your liver. And, therefore, if you have any liver-related complications you might want to avoid noots altogether or take the least dosage possible.
Are you an alcoholic? Then we'd still recommend exercising caution when using this product. Alcohol is known to overload the liver and, therefore, adding nootropics to the system would lead to long-term liver problems.
In our view, the best nootropic supplements for alcoholics are Racetams. They are derived from Piracetam and have been in use since the 60s.
Oh and yet another teeny-weeny side effect of taking Adrafinil is that it can cause your pee to smell a bit differently (stinky pee, LOL). So, be sure to take lots of water especially if you want to keep your pee in its near-normal form.
If you're reading this, the good news is that there are quite a few noots that have synergistic effects when combined with Adrafinil. So, you can use them to make it more potent. Here are some of them.
This is a well-known amino-acid based noot. It's commonly obtained from tea leaves. Combined with Adrafinil, it can go a long way in boosting your productivity.
This combination works best especially when one is faced with some strict deadlines or facing high-stress levels. What's more? L-Theanine actually promotes relaxation which is kind of important especially when you need to deal with fatigue.
We'd recommend stacking your daily dose of Adrafinil with at least 50mg of L-Theanine to yield maximum benefits out of this combination.
Noopept is yet another one of the enhancers that have taken the biohacking world by storm. And the best thing about it is that it's designed to help you fight anxiety and be in control of your mood. You can stick to the usual noopept 30mg dosage along with the recommended Adrafinil dosage for the best results.
This stack seems to work best especially when one is faced with important cognitive tasks. And, by taking it, you can face such tasks with a calmer and clearer mind.
Facing memory loss issues? Pramiracetam is what experts recommend. This noot is renowned for its ability to boost choline production.
Choline is later converted into acetylcholine which is a crucial neurotransmitter that improves your learning speed and boosts concentration.
The best way to stack Adrafinil and Pramiracetam is by combining 200mg of the former with 100mg of the latter.
Some of the benefits of taking this kind of stack include an increase in energy and better memory. And unlike when you take too much coffee (or any other stimulant), there are no jitters to worry about here.
As mentioned earlier, Adrafinil can pile significant pressure on your liver especially if you take more than the recommended dosage. Well, in that case, we'd recommend stacking it with milk thistle.
Milk thistle is one of the natural extracts that do a really good job when it comes to reversing liver damage. You simply need to add some 75-100mg of it to your daily Adrafinil dose.
If you're working really hard to quit caffeine dependency, this stack isn't for you. But if you have no issues with it, then this would make for a great stacking idea.
While Adrafinil is a eugeroic stimulant, caffeine is a CNS stimulant. We have come across quite a few reviews of some users claiming that combining these two made them more alert and motivated.
What we like about this stacking method is that it's really easy to put together. You only need to take some 200 to 300mg of Adrafinil on an empty stomach in the morning. Then you can take two cups of coffee.
As simple as that. But then again, we'd recommend that you exercise caution while taking this approach. Avoid taking too many cups of coffee throughout the day. The sooner you can wean off your caffeine dependency, the better.
We'd recommend stacking these two especially if you want to minimize the tolerance levels. Adrafinil does a good job of strengthening your brain. Aniracetam, on the other hand, can significantly help reduce stress. Basically, the noot enhances neuroplasticity and neuroprotection.
One benefit of racetams is that they have far fewer side effects if any. So, when combined with Adra, what you get is a dynamic duo that helps you maintain healthy cognitive function without pushing your liver too hard.
We'd recommend mixing 750mg of Aniracetam with 150 to 300mg of Adrafinil. Unfortunately, you need huge quantities of racetams to experience potency. And that's why we recommend 750mg on average for aniracetam.
The price of Adrafinil capsules varies depending on where you buy them from. For instance, one 200mg pill would cost you anything between $10 and $15 in local pharmacies. That's also the kind of price you can expect from mainstream online stores like Amazon and Walmart.
So what's the trick? The best way to save while buying this and any other noot is by ordering online. The problem is that not every online seller can be trusted to deliver the best quality stuff.
Afinil Express actually ships across the world and so if you're outside the US, that would be a good place to source your supplies from. What's more? The two accept most major credit cards and Bitcoins.
The average online price for Adrafinil is $1 to $3 per 200mg pill. So don't pay more. In fact, Absorb Health, which in our view is the cheapest, legitimate source sells a 300mg Adrafinil pill for as little as $0.8.
But then again, the price may vary depending on the quantities you're ordering for.
Looking for vendors who accept PayPal? Well, PayPal is very strict with any drug-related purchases. And so, you might want to avoid using them. But if you really have to use PP, avoid using the Friends and Family option.
Instead just use the normal method for paying for goods from vendors. I am yet to order using Paypal but I have come across Reddit comments that it's possible to do so.
We scoured the internet for various free trials or free samples but we didn't come across any credible sites giving such offers. So, if you're still skeptical, we think that the best thing would be to order for tiny quantities of it so you can sample it first before placing a bulk order.
The good thing is that some vendors actually offer free shipping. And that means you can get a few pills delivered to your doorstep for a few bucks.
I'll definitely keep you posted if I come across any legitimate vendor providing free samples.
Q: Is It Safe To Use Adrafinil?
A: Yes. It's generally safe to use this noot. That said, you should stick to the recommended dosage. Avoid the temptation to overdose on it.
Q: How do I know if Adrafinil can work for me before ordering?
A: Truth be told, the effects of this supplement are subjective and hard to evaluate. But if this is your first-time using nootropics, chances are high that it will work for you. What we'd suggest is working with a vendor who provides a money-back guarantee.
That way, if the product doesn't work for you, you can always get a full refund. But having used it, I'd say that it's one of the most effective nootropics on the markets. IMHO.
Q: What is the half-life of Adrafinil?
A: Adrafinil effects take about 50 minutes to reach the full peak level. And in general, the product's half-life is roughly 7 hours (some say 5 hours). That's far less impressive than what modafinil can offer which is up to 14 hours!
With those points in mind, I'd say that I approve of Adrafinil. It can help boost your concentration and also provide you with the much-needed cognitive support. That said, it's not perfect – and we'd request you to be cautious not to overuse it.
There are quite a few physicians and scientists who heap praise on it – and that's a really good outcome. And having used it, I definitely would recommend it to a friend.


As most of you are aware, we've had some strange outages on the past 3 Sundays - in an attempt to alleviate this issue, we will be backing up the database, and then using the forum functionality to delete all posts older than 5 years. I have sincere doubt this will affect anyone, but the plan is to have this done by the end of day tomorrow (Wednesday).
Topics older than 5 years have been deleted and a bunch of stuff has been cleaned up. Please let me know if you see issues.
Hey, John. I'm not sure if any others are having issues, but the forums are still running pretty slow for me. Sometimes I have to close my browser down and re-open it in order for pages to load.
I usually only have such an issue after I submit a post, but if I just refresh the forums the post I submitted is already there.
Yeah, we're seeing that on the staff boards as well. John's got a few more plans in place to try to resolve the slowness this week. As far as we can tell, the boards didn't go down last Sunday, though, so that's a step in the right direction! We appreciate your patience on this - it's definitely frustrating for everyone.
This awful green site has been my best online friend and internet fort for years. I hope you can find the root of the problem and work through it! I believe in you team!
It seems like this issue has been resolved - please let us know if you continue to see any odd behavior.

There go con artist Kyeremateng again, alongside Apraku and others in meadow that muddies the water! It was these same gangsters that ruined the Party in previous elections. If it is not him then the world is about coming to an end. It is each own childish and evil-doing that had cost the party the two defeats and they still cannot get it. Handsomeness does not bring change in the lives of the masses.
Rawlings' physical disposition never brought any change in our lives than pain and anguish. Kufuour's features do not come near that of Rawlings, but he gave us something to be proud and relish about as people.
What are observations under John Mahama with all the good looks he is associated with, are we not in distress?
Alan Kyeremateng, likewise Dr. Kofi Apraku are carrying unexploited baggage the NDC seeks to exploit in the event the NPP select any.
Their pronouncements, coupled with untruth from their uncouth sympathizers, especially their supporters who out of narrowness spewed all sorts of appalling derogatory vibes about Nana Addo was the source to the NPP defeats and they are at it again.
Many in the Party had ceased to have affection for any of them. They are advised to do soul searching of self to find out why their influence is waning and dipping in the Party. Their sympathizers are entreated to do likewise to find out why the once liked ALAN do not command that appeal.
All is due in part because their Alan abandoned the Party when most needed owing to his selfish ambition to the detriment of the Party's collective cause.
Age has more to do wisdom coupled with knowledge than knowledge of the young. It will be good to have Nana Addo have another chance than to have Alan, if for nothing at all he is most popular amongst them.
The unexploited baggage of Alan and Apraku which the NDC is yet to exploit, most us have no knowledge or do not know. It will be disastrous to start all over again. It is not worth the price to risk Alan, especially. Alan does not possess a healthy outlook in terms of his recent past with regards to his resignation.
Think about this, if you own a healthy strength of mind, then you are like the season of summer where there are no gray days, for everything is bright and warm. As one of the best character traits to own is a good frame of mind as opposed to a routinely bad attitude. We must understand that an environment can never be healthy and happy without constructive attitudes.
The ways essential internal attributes such as patience and tolerance are displayed are demonstrated by the behavior of language and actions. It is always true, if you don't have anything good to say, you are a better person for not having said anything at all. Just to remind ourselves that, if you are in the company of someone who has no control of temper, it is better not to invite a confrontation.
People who are ill-tempered react to things in an irrational fashion. It is like the least little thing causes them agitation.
Concerning the panic-stricken NDC pitched voice about Nana, it stems from nothing than an irrational fear. The NDC has nothing to speak again against Nana Addo hence the worry. There is no longer a false baggage and false impressions to exploit. Nana Addo's is scary in their mind and sight, which leads to envying.
And what we must all realize is that, envy is thin because it bites but never eats. The problem with envy is that, our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy. Being envious of another is ignorance.
The bare truth is that whoever envies another confesses his superiority as enviousness slays itself by its own arrows.


It's now 1.50 in the UK and I got up. See, the power of positive thinking works.
There is a lot to positive thinking than is obvious and in my posts I want to explore that as much as I can.
Thought is the most powerful thing in existence, as it is through our thoughts that we have shaped the world of today. Time and space have been conquered through the thoughts of science. So, we should really be able to conquer any limiting circumstances that exist in our lives. I believe that if there is something missing or wrong in our life then we can do something about it through the power of thought; particularly positive thought.
How's that for my first post on waking up? Now I'm off to get some tea and make the next one more meaningful.

An image really has impact when in 6 years 74 requests from 20 countries are received to reproduce it!
The requests to use the Canberra Transport Photo with permission – given freely by We Ride Australia of course! – have come from municipal councils and governments, advocacy organisations, research institutions and publishers to name just a few.
It has also been re-posted, tweeted, pasted into presentations many, many more times than even we will ever know.
The photo use leader board is led by the USA with 13 uses.
A close grouping of three countries follow; UK with 12, Germany with 11 and Brazil with 9.
Some of the more interesting requests have come from India (1), Lithuania (1) and South Africa (2) going to show how universal advocacy for active travel is.
The photo was organised on a frosty Sunday morning in Canberra Australia in late 2012 and we had a fabulous roll up of Canberra volunteers that included interested locals, members of Pedal Power, parents and family members and at least two Members of Canberra's Legislative Assembly and one federal Member of Parliament.
The ACT Government helped with traffic planning and ACT buses provided one of their own – which incidentally provided the number of people we needed as the capacity of the bus was 69 people!
Purely by chance, at an average motor vehicle occupancy rate of 1.1 persons per car trip in Australia at the time, it gave us a nice round 60 cars needed to carry our 69 people!! A perfect four rows X 15 cars. The smallest car was Greens MLA Caroline Le Couteur's Smart and we did have a tandem.
While We Ride Australia focuses on national advocacy for active travel, initiatives and policies for bicycling and cycling advocacy, our investment and effort to create the Canberra Transport Photo has gone truly global!
We're very grateful to the people of #Canberra and the ACT Government, @TCCS_ACT, for helping us create it, the photo is still telling the story!
Country list: Australia 5, Austria 1, Belgium 1, Brazil 9, Canada 5, Croatia 1, Czech Republic 1, Finland 1, France 3, Germany 11, India 1, Lithuania 1, New Zealand 2, Poland 1, South Africa/Africa 2, Spain 2, Swede 1, Switzerland 1, United Kingdom 12, United States of America 13.

Compilation: "Dark Side Of Pop".
31 Jan 2012 — Tonje Thilesen
In courtesy of the Polish netlabel Cowshed Records, we were last week briefly introduced to the 19-track compilation Dark Side Of Pop, of which you might already have guessed features darker soundscapes of electronic pop, including exclusive tracks from a fine selection of producers and acts on a highly international level. Amongst the contributors are also NFOP favourites Pleq, Sun Glitters and Saskatchewan, but also some exciting new discovers such as UK's Face+Heel or Polish residents Body Spam, to mention a few. All though a great part of Dark Side Of Pop is centered around the deep, industrial sound with an obvious relation to the so-called witch house genre, it also proves to spin in a more interesting, almost brighter distance. Here, the Italian shoegaze trio Port-Royal provides with the stargazing listen "Electric Tears (Nothing's Gonna Change)", while Electric Fitness on the other hand dives further down into beauty in his remix of "Our Falling Snow" by Copenhagen's Sleep Party People. Below, we've picked out some of our favourites from the compilation, which you can also download for free if you follow this link.

Video: Dylan Ettinger - "Wintermute".
31 Jan 2012 — Henning Lahmann
Dylan Ettinger's (re)turn to songwriting after the spaced-out jam sessions of New Age Outlaws and his open embracement of deepest 80s cold wave is one of the most exciting music-related things to happen in 2012. The synth wizard's forthcoming album Lifetime Of Romance should be out in the beginning of March via Not Not Fun, and there'll be a slightly more elaborated piece about the album in the January edition of my Beyond Beats column on Electronic Beats that will be published any day now (though not in January apparently). Right now however, I strongly recommend the video for the stellar opening track "Wintermute", directed by Melissa Cha.

Premiere: Power Animal - "Exorcism".
Very honored to debut the title track of Power Animal's forthcoming tape Exorcism here today, the project's sophomore effort almost two years after the first full-length People Songs on Waaga. The Philadelphia outfit, once started as the solo project of Keith Hampson but now grown into a full band, carries out a delightfully experimental kind of leftfield pop with "Exorcism", bright and upbeat yet with a considerable amount of reflective and subtly melancholic undertones, some folky hints and above all beautiful harmonizations. Exorcism will be co-released February 21 by Crash Symbols and the band's own label/charitable non-profit organization Human Kindness Overflowing. All of the profits from digital sales will be donated to Philabundance, a Philadelphia-based charity organization that provides food to the needy in the area.

NFOP Sessions #7: Philco Fiction.
It's exactly a month ago since we gave you the 6th NFOP session with Ghost Animal, so obviously it's time for another one. We were lucky enough to get a hold of Oslo-based Philco Fiction when they paid a short visit to Berlin for the first POOL Showcase at Prince Charles last week, playing a stripped-down version of the outstandingly beautiful "Portrait Of Silence" backstage, taken from their debut album Take It Personal. It is by far the longest session I've done so far (lasting for as long as 8 minutes), but we can assure you that it will be worth the whole listen, even though the sound is quite poor compared to their studio material, obviously. Enjoy. Read more → It's exactly a month ago since we gave you the 6th NFOP session with Ghost Animal, so obviously it's time for another one.

Tezeo: "Friends".
Immersive, melodically strong synth vibes straight outta Brooklyn by Tezeo, a duo consisting of ex-industrial metalcore musicians (true fact) Michael Beharie and Jeff Cristiani who've abandoned the grim and bleak in favor of no less dark yet tremendously catchy pop vibes that do not try to hide their 80s influences. If you add Blondes' Sam Haar, who's been in control of mixing the tracks, you'll end up with a simple yet neatly arranged, infectious pop song. The "Friends"/"Open Windows" digital 7 inch is out now via Dummy Records.

Bodyguard (James Ferraro) - "#FIRE¥2K12 (SILICA GEL PREVIEW)".
Apparently, Mr James Ferraro has already chosen another moniker for his ringtone library/contemporary mainstream radio culture project BEBETUNE$$$ - he's just dropped a preview for what was supposed to be the second mixtape named Silica Gel, but it's published as Bodyguard now. In any case, listen to some snippets of what you may expect in full glory when Silica Gel drops February 23 below. If you are in Berlin, don't miss Ferraro this Thursday discussing his music with Daniel Lopatin and Geeta Dayal, and on Friday performing together with Co La at Berghain Kantine.

Introducing: Green & Gold.
30 Jan 2012 — Holly Friedlander Liddicoat
We are very happy to introduce you all to Green & Gold — a new monthly column here on NFOP, curated by our friend Holly Friedlander Liddicoat of the wonderful Aussie blog East To West. Each month Holly will be giving you an exclusive insight into her newest finds and obsessions within the Australian music underground, which obviously swarms of musical gems yet to be discovered. Get lost in the land downunder below. Hi, my name's Holly and I live on a big island in the Southern Hemisphere called Australia. It's nice down here. Rather sunny, sometimes too sunny (yes, that is quite possible) and full of lots of strange animals, some being political leaders who are known to have donned this apparel. All in all though, it's a beautiful place. On top of all that, we have a pretty great music scene too, especially of the experimental electronic vibe that I love to write about over at my blog East to West. As part of a monthly instalment, I'm super excited to be able to share that with you, thanks to those amazing legends Henning and Tonje behind NFOP. Kicking things off with someone who has amassed years of steady talent and a luscious beard to match, Melbourne's Chet Faker is no amateur in the game of down-tempo beats and future sex sounds. Putting the finishing touches on his latest EP, Thinking In Textures, I thought I'd share one of my favourite Chet Faker remixes with you, that of Radiohead's "Nude". Soft, building guitar chords, deep-seated bass, a subtle crescendo and the unmistakable yet slightly distorted croon of Thom Yorke make this track the auditory orgasm that it is. Chet Faker - North (Chet Faker minor edit) One thing, which is important to note, is that for me, Soundcloud is God's platform to all that is divine and holy. Tired of pre-ordained social constraints of 'what is music?', monopolising labels and archaic avenues of music accessibility, Soundcloud provides the ability to sift through the pure honesty of people's creations, both good and bad. It is here that you have humble insight into people's thoughts and art, rough and raw, in their demo or self-released forms. While time consuming, I find this a pleasure and that is where many of my favourite artists come from. Everyday Average Normal Guy (previously known as Carpet Brick) is just the first example of this, this Sydneysider having released one of my favourite, most intense, soul shattering demos of 2011 "Without Shame". He hits back with this tidbit, turning up the happy meter just a notch with the ridiculous vocal sample and jittery symbol that dominates "FIENDISH". Everyday Average Normal Guy - FIENDISH A current forerunner in sophisticated and stylish beats and online releases is Melbourne's current MVP, Flash Forest, whose latest EP, Twelve, created in just twelve days, contains five luscious tracks of beautiful proportions. Teaming up with good mate Thrupence for the delectable artwork, Sam Maguire closes out the release with this lo-fi, walking-through-a-storm-and-getting-drenched-by-the-heavens track. Flash Forest – Mauve, Roll Credits This next tune is from what I believe to be a debut EP, which made me come so completely undone on first hear, I struggled to regain limb control for at least an hour. Underwater sounds are the unifying theme, encompassing bubbling reverb and wicked vocal samples from this kid out of Queensland. Motion.Picture.Actress delivers tantalising track "Germs", inducing female vocalist Keiiko to dance intermediately over shimmering keys, restraining the two from completely aligning in an apocalyptic supernova. Motion.Picture.Actress - Germs.W/Keiiko Today, our biggest musical export comes from a South African kid we've adopted and called our own. Australia's only musician signed to infamous Stones Throw Records, Jonti makes crazy technicolour acoustic-beat-teen-dreams. His latest release, a free download of old bits and pieces and reworks from his latest album Twirligig, contains this track "Flesh of Morning"; a culmination of lo-fi disco sounds and good vibes. On his ridiculous adventures, Jonti has collaborated with the likes of Marc Ronson, Hodgy Beats and Illa J. We are just so damn proud. Jonti – Flesh of Morning What this column will attempt to be is an insight into Australian music, past and present. Not past in the sense of 'what was great in 1989', rather an understanding of artists who continue to evolve, in sound and dimension. While it may not be their most recent release that graces these beautiful electronic pages, it will be something important and worthy enough to share with you, this newfound audience, who I wish to impart on a holistic view of genuine, hardworking, humble and innovative music which I have the pleasure of hearing every day. Download Green & Gold 1 in it's entirety here and get lost in it.
First Listen: Casion Gardens - "Fantasies in Cools Palace".
Columbus, Ohio's Byron Ferrari (not his real name, but I dig it) has been haunting us with his Casino Gardens for a good while now, last year delivering a massively compelling tape on Beer On The Rug. This time it gets even better with Fantasies in Cools Palace, Casino Gardens' new cassette on Chicago imprint Lillerne, a superb effort that neatly combines everything we ever loved about "hypnagogic pop" - straight, untainted AM radio pop, sun-bleached late summer afternoon slacker anthems that showcase quite an amazing amount of true musical talent (albeit effectively disguised by simplistic melodic structures and arrangements), all hidden behind a thick curtain of four-track lo-fi mist that this year might start to come across as some fading shtick of 2009, yet for now it still manages to hit all the right spots with its glorious über-haziness. Good times. Fantasies in Cools Palace is out today. Order the tape (including digital download voucher) now over here.

Strukturna sistemska analiza (SSA) je jedna od najpoznatijih metoda za analizu sistema i zahteva korisnika. Druga je IDEF0 (), koja je standard vlade SAD-a.
SSA je jedna potpuna samosvojna metoda za analizu i funkcionalnu specifikaciju informacionog sistema (softvera).

Istorijat
Metoda SSA je razvijena u okviru -{Yourdon Inc}-. Jedan od njenih tvoraca je i sam -{E. Yourdon}-. Druga poznata i još uvek korišćena metoda funkcionalne specifikacije sistema je SADT (). Na njoj je zasnovan IDEF0 standard državnih organa SAD.

Osnovni koncepti
SSA posmatra IS kao funkciju (odnosno proces), koja na osnovu ulaznih podataka i skladišta podataka generiše izlazne podatke, tretira se kao metodološki postupak dekompozicije nekog sistema na podsisteme.

Tok podataka može se posmatrati kao pokretna traka koja prenosi podatke (papirni dokument koji čovek preko tastature unosi i sl).
Entiteti sa kojima informacioni sistem komunicira (izvori ulaznih i ponori izlaznih tokova podataka) nazivaju se interfejsi. Skladišta podatka se posmatraju kao "tokovi u mirovanju".

Osnovni koncepti za specifikaciju informacionog sistema u SSA su funkcije, tokovi podataka, skladišta podataka i interfejsi.
Njihov međusobni odnos prikazuje se preko dijagrama toka podataka.
Dijagram toka podataka na vrhu hijerarhije koji sadrži samo jednu funkciju naziva se dijagram konteksta, a funkcije koje se ne mogu dalje dekomponovati - primitivne funkcije. Primitivne funkcije obavljaju jednu "logičku jedinicu posla", atomsku transakciju.
Opisuju se koristeći neku vrstu strukturnog prirodnog jezika (pseudokoda), a ovaj opis se naziva Specifikacija logike primitivnih procesa.

Pored funkcija dekomponovati se mogu i skladišta i tokovi, što se prikazuje u Rečniku podataka.

Specifikacija IS u metodi SSA
Potpunu specifikaciju informacionog sistema u metodi Strukturne sistemske analize čine:
 hijerarhijski organizovan skup dijagrama toka podataka
 rečnik podataka
 specifikacija logike primitivnih procesa

Grafički simboli
 krug (elipsa) predstavlja funkciju
 pravougaonik predstavlja interfejs
 usmerena linija predstavlja tok podatka
 dve paralelene linije predstavljaju skladište podataka

Dijagrami toka podataka
Pravila:
 Tok podataka ne može da vezuje dva interfejsa
 Tok podataka ne može da vezuje interfejs i skladište
 Svaki proces mora da ima barem jedan ulazni i barem jedan izlazni tok podataka
 Svako skladište mora da ima najmanje jedan ulazni i najmanje jedan izlazni tok podataka. Ako skladište nema ulazni tok smatra se da je to izvor podataka izvan sistema, a koji posmatrani IS koristi. Ako skladište nema izlazni tok ono predstavlja izvor podataka za neki drugi IS.
 Svaki interfejs mora da ima najmanje jedan (bilo ulazni bilo izlazni) tok

Rečnik podataka
U rečniku podataka se opisuje struktura i sadržaj tokova i skladišta podataka. Ako je potrebno prikazuje se i njihova dekompozicija.
Sintaksa:
naziv_strukture::=<lista_komponenti>
lista_komponenti::=komponenta | komponenta, lista_komponenti
komponenta::=složena | polje
složena::=agregacija | specijalizacija |skup

specijalizacija::=[lista_komponenti] | naziv_specijalizacije [lista_komponenti]
skup::={lista _komponenti} | naziv_skupa {lista _komponenti}

Metodologija modelovanja

Uspeh u modelovanju zavisi od dobrog poznavanja realnog sistema, poznavanja metoda i tehnika koje se koriste.

Takođe i od iskustva i sposobnosti analitičara, vremena kojim raspolažemo, organizovanosti sistema koji se analizira, komunikacije sa korisnicima i sl.

Judge's Ruling in Hideout Annexation Lawsuit Delayed Until One Day Before Referendum
Published June 9, 2021 at 2:36 PM MDT
KPCW News
Opposing attorneys for Summit County and the town of Hideout made oral arguments before a Fourth District Judge Monday.
The hearing could determine the fate of Summit County's lawsuit, asking the judge to strike down the Wasatch County town's annexation into the Richardson Flat area near Park City last October.
While a decision was set for this week, Judge Jennifer Brown rescheduled her oral ruling for June 21—one day before the town's referendum on the annexation, in which ballots have already been mailed to registered voters.
Brown considered dueling motions from Summit County and Hideout asking her to grant summary judgment in their respective fabor.
Summit County Attorney Margaret Olson told the court that Hideout did not complete the legal process to authorize the annexation before a crucial deadline.
The Hideout Town Council, in a meeting on Oct. 16, stretching almost to midnight, voted to annex 350 acres.
But only a few days later on Oct. 20, the state law that enabled Hideout to carry out an adverse annexation into Summit County was repealed.
Olson said the annexation wasn't officially enacted until Oct. 26 and a certificate of annexation from Utah lieutenant governor's office wasn't issued until Oct. 28. Therefore, she says, the move was never valid.
In response, Hideout's attorney Robert Mansfield alleged that the Town Council only had to "adopt" the annexation before Oct. 20.
Meanwhile, Hideout asked for summary judgment in its favor for a number of reasons. Among those, Mansfield said Summit County doesn't have standing to bring the lawsuit.
He argued that Summit County lost its land-use authority over the property in dispute. Mansfield said Summit's authority is over unincorporated land, and that land has now been annexed into Hideout.
"That's the life of a county," Mansfield said.
He also said that Summit has no authority under Utah land-use law to file a lawsuit against a city's annexation. Mansfield said the Summit County Attorney has no authority in Wasatch County and that Summit can't file as a private person.
In response, Deputy Summit County Attorney Jami Brackin said the county government constitutes an affected party since the land annexed by Hideout is in Summit County. She said under the county's land-use law, they have the authority to remove an illegal act, and if no other remedy is available, they can go to court.
Brackin also said they have standing on an issue that has great public interest in Summit and Wasatch counties concerning the county's ability to manage growth in a world-class ski area.
Judge Brown's ruling was set for Tuesday. But the judge said her work has been delayed by technical issues at the court.
She acknowledged that pushes the decision right up against the referendum on June 22. But, she said, "it seems as though that's been the way we've had to deal with things in this case."
The ruling on Monday, June 21 is set for 8:15 a.m.

"Mr. Long, can you call me Jason?", a former student asked me a few years ago. I could tell that this high school sophomore had been contemplating a change for a long time and that asking me this question was a huge deal for him (formerly her). I had Jasmine in my 7th grade health class. A girl that might be described as a "tomboy" (for lack of a better term). Jasmine wore boys clothes and had trouble making friends.
A few years later, as I switched to teaching at the high school level, I had Jasmine again as a 10th grader. She was a bit more comfortable in her skin. But still lacking confidence. She still had the baggy pants, but her long hair was gone. I noticed her right away on the first day of class. She had a high and tight, Justin Beiber type hair cut.
Without hesitation I nodded and said "yeah, cool." I didn't think much of it, but I got a long e-mail expression her appreciation for my acceptance later that day. The email was signed "Jason." And had a P.S. "PS: Thanks for calling me Jason it makes everything better ."
I created this course for two reasons. One reason was Jason.
It is simply amazing to know how much of an impact we, as teachers can have on the lives of students from the simple things we do everyday. I believe that everyone has the right to feel comfortable being themselves and expressing themselves the way they wish; as long as it doesn't harm anyone else. I have tremendous respect for the people that fought for equality during the civil rights movement. I believe that our generation has a similar opportunity to fight for the equality for people who identify as LGBTQ.
Last winter, I read an article from American Educator titled More Than A Safe Space by Michael Sadowski. I was saddened to learn that "65% of LGBTQ students avoid school functions and extra-curricular activities." But, I became hopeful when I learned about resources like GLSEN and that many schools had GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) clubs. I decided to sit in on a few GSA meetings at my school. The students sat in a circle. They had a lot of energy and laughed. They vented about school, relationships, parents and teachers. It was therapeutic for them to get their emotions out. They were a lot like all of the other teenagers in high school. A lot like them.
This new online PD course for teachers will open communication lines between K-12 educators to share techniques and strategies to build safe, effective learning environments for students of all genders and sexual orientations. The LGBTQ Student class assignments will help educators build vocabulary, communication and advocacy skills that will be reflected in the confidence of their students to not only feel safe, but to thrive in school.


Company history-The worlds carbide specialist. Offering tungsten carbide , Ti-based products such as carbide shims, chipbreakers, drawing pellets, cold forging dies, burs, rods, strips, rings, drilling bits, wear parts and customized products.
All it starts from 2004, when Metallurgical and Materials Engineer XieXianJian and machinist ChenSuQuan, ZengZuoRan, followed their entrepreneurial dream and built a small workshop on the JinJi village near city Petroleum Equipment GuangHan city, south west of China. Steering their vision was a"China expert at tungsten carbide material" target. The desire to reach that target took hold in their imagination and hard working. They down to work, star their career.


This project is based around aspect of the music of Vivaldi's famous violin concerto 'Autumn'. It provides materials for widely differentiated teaching, with some very simple tasks and others which are quite sophisticated. Students will need guidance from a teacher as to how to use the materials most constructively. Vivaldi's score is prefixed by a short Sonetto Dimostrativo – a short poem depicting the 'action' of the music. This clearly indicates that the ritornello theme represents the the dancing and singing of villagers to celebrate the harvest and that the episodes, which feature the solo violinist, represent those villagers who succumb to the influence of the wine and eventually finish their revelries in a deep slumber. Our ear is led back and forth from dancing of the whole village to scenes of individuals' merriment, as if the scene were being filmed for television. A far-reachingly modern concept for 1730!
In order to study and draw lasting musical skills from this piece, the project Autunno I covers techniques of both the ritornelli and the episodes: Simple ensemble playing (ritornello); understanding, identifying and composing with sequence (episodes); large-scale improvisation and composition from small musical germs (ritornelli & episodes). There is much useful support material and extension materials, including introducing how to read and analyse a musical score .
Age range: 2-5 No: 6-8 No; 9-11 possible, in part; 12-13 maybe;14-15 works well; 16-17 very useful; 18+ very useful.
By the end of this project students will: (a) have developed ensemble performance skills in a short rendering of the opening theme; (b) have developed improvisational and composing skills by both learning to work with sequence (melodic and harmonic) and form (rondo/ritornello); (c) have developed confidence in writing melodies; (d) be able to follow a score with understanding of the musical content; (e) be well informed about the baroque concerto.
Link to Amphionmusic's Autunno II to understand the idea of contrasting movements and to develop a much more in-depth understanding of basso continuo.

Plainsong
"I think it's dark and it looks like rain"
"And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world"
"And it's so cold
It's like the cold if you were dead"
And then you smiled
"I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain"
"And it's all running out like it's the end of the world"
"And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead"
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
"It's just the way I smile"

"The White Sister" — Inspiration – Entire film
Lillian Gish, away from the guiding hand of Griffith, proves to be as moving as ever. In an emotional race with Vesuvius in eruption she captures all the honors. In her support she has a tragic but uplifting story, real Italian scenery, and a charming new leading man named Ronald Colman.
This is heavy drama, and it lias what you call an unhappy ending, but if you are a showman you can cash in in a big way, clean up some real money, and thoroughly satisfy your cash contributors.
They don't try to plant comedy relief in this, and they don't slap you in the face with the fact that all of the scenes were shot in Italy. From start to finish director Henry King sticks to his knitting. He starts to tell a dramatic story that has some good emotional high spots, and he tells it effectively, in front of a beautiful background that is really Italy.
Lillian Gish is your big box office bet with this one.
There is a lyric quality to Lillian Gish's acting in "The White Sister" (Inspiration) which has never been recognized before. In that respect Henry King who directed this tragic story of broken romance has brought forward a talent which Griffith neglected in order to create an emotional outburst, of pent-up floods of passions and fear. As the frail, tender misguided child of fate, Miss Gish makes poignant appeal. It is heart-rending to see this tormented soul taking her separation from her lover with such courage and when learning of his death, turning her back on the world and finding peace and sanctuary in the Church.

"Sold for Marriage" 1916 — Entire Film —
The Wind (1928) – USA – Entire Film


On the radio you are sharing the services of the First Baptist Church in Dallas. This is the pastor bringing the morning message. It is entitled The Abiding Presence of the Holy Spirit.
In The Reminder, our church weekly paper, I wrote saying that today was an epochal day in my ministry and in my life. For months, many, many months, I have been preparing, studying, learning, reading, asking of God for wisdom and for help in delivering the announced and projected series of sermons on the Holy Spirit. I am not prepared yet; but I never would be prepared. So about two months ago, I announced that today I would begin that series of sermons on the Holy Spirit.
Somebody asked me some time ago, "Pastor, when you preach that series of sermons, will we be any different? Will it change us?" And I replied, "I do not know. That lies in the sovereign and elective purpose and will of God." But I do know this, that we shall understand far more than we understand now. God will do that for us. We shall understand. All of us who listen, all who attend these services or who share in these meetings, we shall understand far more, and I could pray, during these days there shall be a heavenly visitation that shall change us, and bless us immeasurably.
Now the first two sermons; the sermon today and the sermon next Sunday are historical sermons. We have two thousand years of experience with the abiding presence of the Spirit of God. And no man could understand the present or have any idea really of the future who does not study the past.
And there is so much in the background of this study, and we ought to know it. It is before us. It is written on the pages of history. There are literally libraries concerning it. And if we have any persuasion that what we say now, or what we could pray for in the future, would reflect the wisdom of God, then we must know what God has done in the two thousand years since Pentecost [Acts 2:1-47].
As a background passage––not as a text to exegete or expound, but as a background passage––I read from the fourteenth and the fifteenth chapters of the Gospel of John. "I will pray the Father," said our Lord, "and He shall give you another paraklete," translated here, "Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever" [John 14:16]. So He is here now. He was here yesterday. He will be with His people unto the consummation, "that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye shall know Him" [ And we are opening our hearts and our minds to learn of Him. "But ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you" [John 14:17], the Holy Spirit of God with us this morning, and in our souls. Now again, the twenty-sixth verse, "But that paraklete, Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things" [John 14:26].
I turn the page. In the next chapter, chapter 15, next to the last verse, "But when the paraklete is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me" [John 15:26]. So the Spirit of God is here. He is present in this assembly [1 Corinthians 3:16]. He is in our hearts [1 Corinthians 6:19]. He abides with us forever [John 14:16]. And He has been here since the day of Pentecost [Acts 2:1-4, 16-18].
Therefore this first message will be a brief summary of the history of the Holy Spirit, from Pentecost until 1453 AD. Then next Sunday morning we shall begin at 1453 AD and follow the story to the present time. Then after these two messages on the history of the Holy Spirit since Pentecost, we shall begin our study of His presence, and His message, and His meaning, and His gifts, and His power from the Holy Scriptures; pertinent to us, and to our church, and to our lives today.
Now, to begin; there never was a time when the early Christian disciples did not believe in the deity and the personality of the three Persons of the Godhead. In their doxologies, in their baptismal formula, all the way and without exception, the early disciples of our Lord and the apostolic fathers who followed them looked upon the three Persons of the Trinity, each One deity, each One separate, each One a personality. In the baptismal formula: "Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" [Matthew 28:19], the Three in One, "in the name of," singular, "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit"; co-equal, co-substantial, deity, the Three in One. Now their doxologies reflected that theological persuasion.
The second Corinthian letter, the last verse: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen" [2 Corinthians 13:14]. I turn once again to the doxology in the first chapter of the Revelation, "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace," one, "from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come" [Revelation 1:4], God Almighty. Second, "and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne [Revelation 1:4]," the word "seven" in Revelation means plenitude, fullness, "and from the fullness of the Holy Spirit"; third, "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth" [Revelation 1:5]. In the days of the apostles, the disciples of our Lord, the deity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were unvaryingly presented and praised.
That spirit of adoration of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, was carried through without exception in the days of the apostolic fathers, those men of God who followed the apostles. For example, in the letter of the church of Smyrna, written about 155 AD, describing the martyrdom of their pastor Polycarp, the beautiful and marvelous letter closes with these words of adoration, spoken by their pastor when he was martyred. I quote, "For this and for all things I praise Thee, I bless Thee, I glorify Thee, with the eternal and heavenly Jesus Christ, Thy beloved Son, with whom, to Thee, and to the Holy Ghost be glory, both now and through all ages to come." Isn't that a glorious and beautiful thing, the last words in that letter, quoting the last words of Polycarp, when he laid down his life for Jesus?
Now I have chosen one other. In about 160 AD, Julius Africanus, who was one of the most learned ecclesiastics of all time, he wrote the five books of the chronography, the story of the Christian faith up to his day. In the fifth and the last book of his Chronicon, his chronography, Julius Africanus closes with this marvelous doxology: "We render thanks to Him who gave our Lord Jesus Christ to be a Savior, to whom, with the Holy Ghost, be glory and majesty forever, amen." In the life of the apostles, and in the glorious tributes of the apostolic fathers, there is no exception to that praise and adoration of the Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The early church had no occasion to define, or to defend the deity or the person of the Holy Spirit. It was never questioned. It was received in the baptismal formula: "Baptizing in the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit" [Matthew 28:19]. It was received as elementary and primary. You find that especially in the early fathers in their attitude toward the Holy Scriptures. Without exception, the early fathers, the apostolic fathers, the men who lived just beyond the apostles, they looked upon the Holy Spirit as being the author of the Scriptures, Old Testament and New Testament.
I quote from Irenaeus, who lived just a little later. He says of the Scriptures, "They are spoken by the Word of God and His Spirit; while we, in the degree in which we live are inferior, and stand at the greatest distance from the Word of God and His Spirit, are in need of the knowledge of His mysteries." And again he says, "The logos has given us a fourfold gospel," Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, "The logos has given us a fourfold gospel, which is held together by one Spirit." Four men wrote them, but actually they are the writings of one Holy Spirit of God [2 Peter 1:20-21].
One of the strange peculiarities of the Greek fathers, the Eastern church, as distinct from the Latin church, the Western church, one of the peculiarities of the Greek fathers, the apostolic fathers who wrote in the Greek church, one of their peculiarities was this, that they left off the name of the actual writer of the Scripture, and used "the Holy Spirit" as the author. I've chosen one.
Origen, for example, says, "We can by no means say of the writings of the Holy Ghost that there is anything superfluous or idle in them, although many a thing may appear dark to many." And they will say, in quoting the Scriptures, not, "Isaiah said," or, not "Paul said," or not "John said," but the Greek fathers will write it like this, "The Holy Spirit said, the Holy Ghost said"; one of the peculiarities of those men of God.
Now I have finished discussing the first point; namely, that the early Christian disciples, the apostles, and the apostolic fathers without exception all accepted the deity and the personality of the Trinity: co-substantial, co-equal, of the same substance, Deity of deity, God of gods, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Now as the days passed and beginning just about 200 AD, there came fierce and polemical and violent attacks against the doctrine of the Trinity, and against the deity of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. You will find that in the development of the creeds of the church. That's where the creeds came from. You would never have had them had the people who name the name of the Lord accepted the Bible just as it is.
But as the days passed and the years multiplied, there developed in Christendom vicious and biting and terrible attack, just as we have it today, just as we've had it ever since. And that's where the creeds came from. The creed that was spelled out, written out, was an attempt to say in concise language what it is that the Bible teaches and that the Holy Spirit has revealed. Now we're going to start with the first creed, and then what happened that made the second one, and then what happened that made the third one. That's all the time we have to follow it in this brief moment.
I believe in God the Father Almighty; and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord: who was born of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, crucified under Pontius Pilate, and buried, the third day He rose from the dead, He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of the Father, thence He shall come to judge living and dead; and in the Holy Ghost, the holy church, the remission of sins, the resurrection of the flesh.
That is the earliest form of the Apostolic Creed.
Now beginning in 200 AD, there were these violent attacks upon the doctrine of that creed, "I believe in God the Father, and in God the Son, and in God the Holy Spirit." There came a man by the name of Sabellius, and his heresy is called "Sabellianism." He was the first Unitarian. He gave birth to the doctrine of modalism.
And the doctrine of modalism, the doctrine of Sabellianism is this: that there are no three personalities in the Godhead, but there are merely three energies of the same God. He will work as a creator, then he will work as a redeemer, then he will work as a life-giving influence. That is Sabellianism. There is a uni-personal God, according to Sabellius, and the Holy Spirit is nothing other but some kind of an undefined influence.
It was against Sabellianism that the two words began to be used that we use so much today. One, the Trinity; Tertullian used that first, the great lawyer of Africa, who was a mighty Christian, Tertullian. He used the word "Trinity," first time it was ever used. You'll not find the word in the Bible.
Second: it was against Sabellianism that the word "person" came to be applied to the Three of the Godhead. Until that time the word "person" had never been used. You won't find it in the Bible. But in trying to spell out God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, in those terrible days when they were trying to refute Sabellianism, Unitarianism, they invented the word "Trinity," and they began to use the word "person" to refer to the Three in the Godhead.
Now in about 300 AD, there arose the greatest, and the ablest, and the most famous heretic of all time: Arius. And the attack of Arius was against the deity of the Trinity. According to Arian theology––and he swept the entire civilized world before him––according to Arius, there is one God, God; and that God created the Son, Jesus; and Jesus created the Holy Spirit. So according to Arius, the Holy Spirit is a creature, created by a creature, created by God.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father, only begotten, that is, of the substance of the Father, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made, both those in heaven and those on earth; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down, and was made flesh, and lived as man among men, suffered, and rose the third day, ascended into heaven, is coming to judge the quick and the dead; and in the Holy Ghost.
You see again just mentioning, "And in the Holy Ghost," because the attack was so viciously and violently aimed against the Son of God, this Jesus. So the Nicene Creed spelled out especially the deity of the Lord Jesus.
Now after 325 AD, and the Nicene Creed, there was still great turmoil among the churches and the disciples of our Lord Jesus. And there was a tremendous leader who agitated especially against the Holy Spirit of God; and so violent was this agitation, that in 381 AD there was called a Council of Constantinople. And this one took the Nicene Creed, and as the Nicene Creed spelled out the deity of Jesus, so the Council of Constantinople spelled out the deity of the Holy Spirit.
So the Council of Constantinople, in 381 AD, took the Nicene Creed and made this addition; whereas the Nicene Creed had just said, "We believe in the Holy Ghost," they made this addition to the words: "We believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spake by the prophets." So in 381 AD, the Council of Constantinople had finished the spelling out of the deity of the three Persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
And that has been the orthodox doctrine of the churches of Christ through all of the centuries and centuries since. If there is an orthodox church anywhere in the earth, be it Catholic, Protestant, or any other kind, it believes in the doctrine of those creeds; the deity of God the Father, the Person and deity of God the Son, and the Person and deity of God the Holy Spirit. There is no exception to that anywhere in the earth in an orthodox church, a church that believes in the Word of God.
All right, we're going to turn now to another thing. In 150 AD, now remember, in 150 AD some of the disciples of John were still alive. Polycarp, for example, was pastor at Smyrna. He was a disciple, a convert of John the apostle. Papias in 150 AD was pastor at Hierapolis, the city just across the Lycus River from Laodicea, both of the men pastors in Asia. Papias was a convert and a disciple of John the beloved disciple.
Now, in 150 AD, when the disciples of John were still alive, there appeared a man by the name of Montanus. When the apostles died, the miraculous works of which they were capable died with them. Now you put this down because this is one of the tremendous things that we're coming back to again, and again, and again in our study of the Holy Spirit. When the apostles died, the miraculous gifts of which they were endowed and capable died with them. Those miraculous gifts died immediately. They passed away immediately. They were no more. They ceased to be [1 Corinthians 13:10]. When the apostles died, those marvelous things they were able to do died with them: raising the dead, and all the other glorious things that we read of the apostles in the New Testament.
It was natural, therefore—now listen to this—it was natural, therefore, that there should appear a man of aesthetic piety, of rigorous devotion and zeal, who gave himself and announced himself as a man in whom those apostolic miracles, and gifts, and revelations should be renewed and revived. It was just as natural as the day follows the night. When those apostolic gifts, those supernatural gifts, passed away with the apostles, I am saying that it was just natural that there should appear at least a man who purported to have in him, renewed and revived, those marvelous gifts of the Holy Spirit, possessed by the apostles.
So, in about 150 AD, there appeared in a Phrygian village, a self-styled prophet by the name of Montanus. And he had with him two prophetesses, Maximilla and Priscilla. And he held forth that he was the continuation and that he possessed those same endowments of the apostles. And he came with ecstasies and with trances. And he said that he gave the new and further revelation from God, and that what he spake superseded the words of the apostles, for he had and he possessed a later revelation.
And so powerful was the montanistic movement, Montanism, that it swept Tertullian himself away; and Tertullian became a Montanist. One of the most amazing things that I could read in the life of that tremendous lawyer was this, that and I'm quoting Tertullian, "As the writings of Paul superseded the writings of Moses, so we may expect the writings of a later man as Montanus, to supersede the writings of the apostle Paul." That is Montanism. Montanus said that as he sat in trances and in ecstasies, that there came revelations to him by the Holy Spirit; and these were the latest pronouncements of the Lord for His churches.
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book. . .God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things that are written in the book.
The churches would say to Joseph Smith and his Book of Mormon, "No! There are no other revelations from God. The canon is complete! The Bible is finished." They would say to Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy, "No!" They would say to any other man who comes with a vision and a revelation from God, "No!" The Bible is complete, and the revelations from heaven inspired by the Holy Spirit have ceased; for the whole message of redemption is complete! And there are no more Bible texts to be written, there are no more Bible books to be added to the canon, for the revelation is complete and forever. That was the first thing that happened in Montanism.
All right, the second thing that happened as they waged this fierce warfare against Montanism, second: the churches of Jesus Christ in that long ago said that there is no promise in the Word of God that the supernatural powers of the apostles would be continued—that the supernatural miracles would be continued in His churches after the days of the apostles. There is no power given, and there is no power promised continuing in the churches of Christ, that we shall raise the dead, that we can speak and these who are turning to corruption shall live again; and the other marvelous and supernatural powers of the apostles.
The early churches and I'm just historicalizing now. Whether it's true or not, we shall try to find out: are we to have power to raise the dead today, to go to the tomb, and these who are turning to corruption, to speak words and they shall rise from their graves? Do we have that power today? The churches who battle against Montanus said, "No! No!" And they looked upon the Holy Spirit now as being the instrument of illumination; teaching us the meaning of the Word of God, and no longer the power of revelation; it is sealed.
And those early churches, in their battle against Montanus, they said concerning the holy, and divine, and supernatural miracles of those first apostles, that they were attestations of the truth of the message that they delivered, and they were not promised to be continued in the life of the churches beyond. This arose immediately after the death of the apostles.
We have the same thing today, exactly today. People with visions and revelations; I've had them come to my house and say to me, "Yes, I know the Bible says so and so, but I have just had a message from Jesus. And Jesus says now thus and so," contradicting the Word of God. I have had people come to my house in my study, and tell me those things.
And of course, the vain hope and the vain grasping of the people of God, some of them, for those supernatural, miraculous powers possessed by the early apostles leads to nothing but frustration, and defeat, and vanity, and spiritual pride. What we must do is to learn what it is God purposes in the revelation of His word, and in the preaching of His gospel, and in His elective program and commission for us who live in this age and these who follow us if the Lord tarries, unto the end of the work of God and the purposes of God in His churches in the earth.
Well, I am two-thirds through. And I thought I would finish this morning. We'll take it up from there next Sunday. And the Lord give us understanding as we open our hearts to the heavenly truth of what God would have us do, and would have us to expect from His Holy Spirit in our day and in our life.
Now on the first note of the first stanza, as we sing our hymn of appeal, somebody you give himself to Jesus [Romans 10:9-10]. Somebody today to make a confession of his faith in the Lord; somebody to put his life in the fellowship of this dear church; a couple you, a family, or one somebody you, on the first note of the first stanza, while we sing this hymn, you come and stand by me. Immediately, as you stand up, decide for our Lord, and come, make it now, while we stand and while we sing.
