Amazon Fire TV Stick Review
by Brian Locker | Jan 17, 2022 | Home Tech
Amazon's duo of Fire TV Stick offerings set the bar for what is possible in a small form factor streaming device.
In addition to a general spec bump over its older sibling, the newer third generation Amazon Fire TV Stick adds the ability to stream 4k HDR and Dolby Vision as well as Dolby Atmos audio.
As explained below, what once was an underpowered, and somewhat frustrating device, now offers the best value to performance proposition in the streaming device market. As a general note, unless otherwise mentioned, the comments in this review apply to both Fire TV Stick devices offered by Amazon.
What is The Amazon TV Stick?
Originally released in 2014, the original Fire TV Stick was a response to Google's Chromecast, which allowed users to stream videos and movies from their phones and other mobile devices without the use of a remote or menu system of any kind.
This allowed Google to build a device that could be low power, but still stream high definition content, albeit at only 30 frames per second. Amazon's approach was to attempt to build out a full-on set top box replacement, with a bluetooth remote control and full user interface built on top of Android TV.
The result was a laggy, less-than-ideal experience (to say the least). The second generation Fire TV Stick was a major improvement in performance, allowing users to have a fairly smooth experience, despite being limited to 1080p resolution.
With all that said, major improvements have been made over the last five years in mobile processor performance, all while the cost of components has dropped consistently over the same period of time.
As a result, we now have an Amazon Fire TV that can easily push 4k resolution, provides a smooth user experience, and costs only $50 retail. Even better, this device can often be had at a discount, making the value proposition even better.
For example, as of this writing, Amazon is bundling the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4k with Amazon's over-the-air DVR Recast for $249. Deals around Amazon's Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday can bring the price down even further.
Without further ado, let's take a deeper dive into this feature-packed device to understand why so many people rely on it as their streaming device of choice.
At first glance, the two Fire TV Sticks look almost identical. In fact, aside from a small difference in dimensions and logo, the is no outward difference. This actually became a problem at my home, where we have a few extra Fire TV Sticks laying around.
To differentiate, I had to label the older one to remove the ambiguity. As you may expect, when you look under the hood, the differences are far more noticeable.
Model Fire TV Stick (2016) Fire TV Stick 4K

Output Resolution 1080p and 720p up to 60fps 2160P, 1080p and 720p up to 60 fps
In short, the Fire TV Stick 4K includes a drastically more powerful GPU capable of pushing full 2160p at 60fps, with support for all the major video formats, including Dolby Vision and HDR. A significant upgrade for only $10.
The Fire TV Stick 4K also introduced the new Alexa Voice remote with IR support, which allows you to control functions like power and volume on a wide-range of compatible TVs, soundbars, and A/V receivers.
Shortly after its introduction, Amazon also started bundling this new remote with the Fire TV Stick as well. A welcome benefit to those not opting for the 4K model.
While specs are important, what really counts for a consumer device like the Fire TV Stick is how the hardware supports the software, and whether it can deliver an experience that people can easily use and without frustration.
Software – Fire OS
Fire OS, which runs on a fork of Android (Lollipop for the 2016 Fire TV Stick and Nougat for the 4K variant) is functional, but far from the standard bearer.
After plugging in your Fire TV and completing the initial setup, you are presented with your homescreen, which offers you a series of menu tabs for content: Home, Your Videos, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, and Settings.
There is also a manual search function, though assuming you are using the bundled Alexa voice remote, using voice search is infinitely more convenient than typing your query one letter at a time.
One thing should be made clear right off the bat. If you do not subscribe to Amazon's Prime service, there is little reason to use a Fire TV Stick.
Amazon's prime content is front and center in nearly every corner of the user experience and if you do not have access to view said content via a Prime subscription, I can only imagine how frustrating it would become.
However, even for those of us that are Prime evangelists, the constant stream of suggested content can be tiresome. More on that later.
Focusing on the Home tab, the top third of the screen is occupied by advertisements for new content offered by Amazon, which you can highlight and trigger a video promo.
This content is refreshed on a regular basis and cannot be hidden. If you don't like commercials in your user interface, you won't love this.
Scrolling down, users are met with a series of rows of icons, which small titles above each row to describe what that row contains. This design is constant throughout the entire interface. Get ready to scroll right. A lot.
The first row are your most recent items, which can include apps such as Hulu and Netflix, but if you recently viewed a movie or tv show on Amazon Prime, that specific content is displayed.
For example, if you are bingeing the most recent season of the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (and if you haven't you should), instead of the Prime Video App displaying in your recent items row, an icon for Mrs. Maisel will be there ready to take you directly into the next episode.
This only works for Amazon Prime content, which is unfortunate.
Scrolling down further displays a row of "your apps and channels", which only displays apps you have installed, which include network channel apps that are activated by your cable or satellite subscription.
Every row below this begins a seemingly endless stream of Prime-centric advertisements and suggested content from channels that can be purchased through your Amazon account for additional monthly fees.
The argument for this type of interface is that it allows you to constantly discover new and interesting content that you may not otherwise find and enjoy.
The argument against it is that most of the time I know what I want to watch when I sit down at my TV and I don't need billboard-style advertisements when all I am trying to do is watch reruns of Seinfeld.
The other tabs of content are, by and large, more of the same, with a specific focus on one category of content, so I won't comment more on how the content on those pages are laid out. Suffice to say it is more of the same.
On the upside, navigating the interface is quite straightforward and I never feel lost. Pressing the home button on the remote always takes you to your home screen, where again, your most recent content is easily accessed.
Amazon Alexa is also here, front and center at the top of the remote via a microphone button. Simply hold the button down and Alexa is listening. All of Alexa's personal assistant skills are here, with the added benefit of media searching as well.
Can't remember whether the latest Marvel movie is streaming on Prime or Netflix? Alexa can help. This feature sets the Fire TV Stick apart, as Amazon currently leads the pack against Google Assistant and Siri for the best voice assistant (in my opinion).
In sum, Fire OS is clearly designed to allow users to easily access and discover Prime Video content, but all the other apps and services you may want to use (with only a couple small exceptions — I'm looking at you Youtube TV) are accessible and easy enough to use.
The inclusion of Alexa, however, is the real selling point by putting any content you may want a simple voice command away.
The question is this: why choose an Amazon Fire TV Stick over other dongle-based streaming devices? We'll take a brief look at the other options in the market of dongle-based streaming devices.
Competition to The Fire Stick
Google Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra
Price: $35 (1080p) / $69 (4K)
Pros: For those users who want the most dead-simple streaming experience available, look no further than the Google Chromecast. Simply navigate to content you want to watch on your mobile device and as long as the app supports Google Cast (most everything nowadays), you can simply send the content directly to your TV.
Cons: Less tech-savvy users may be turned off by the lack of a traditional remote or user interface.
Why you may choose it over the Fire TV Stick: If you have invested heavily in the Google ecosystem and own Google Home devices and android phones, your experience with Chromecast will be far more seamless than with a Fire TV Stick.
Roku Streaming Stick and Streaming Stick+
Price: $49.99 (1080p) / $59.99 (4K)
Pros: Like Chromecast, the user interface of the Roku is incredibly simple, but with the added benefit (for some) of an actual remote and app icons. The Roku was a pioneer in the streaming device market and many attribute this to its ease of use.
Cons: While easy to use, the Ruku interface simply looks dated. Also, the included remote has shortcut buttons for services that you may not use and cannot be remapped.
Why you may choose it over the Fire TV Stick: I tell people who ask me what streaming device they should get for their parents or grandparents to get a Roku. That should tell you all you need to know.
Price: $149 (1080p) / $179 (4K)
Pros: In true Apple form, the Apple TV 4K interface is gorgeous and has the most seamless universal search across streaming services for television and movie content. It also offers the best selection of games, with the added benefit of using the touchpad and gyro-enabled remote as a controller for many titles. It also supports Airplay natively for iPhone/iPad owners.
Cons: It is expensive.
Why you may choose it over the Fire TV Stick: If you have a bunch of Apple devices in the family, my guess is you don't need to be told why you may buy this device. For iPhone users, and those with a large iTunes library, this is clearly the best option, as it is the only device that integrates Apple services.
Price: $179 (4K) / $199.99 (with game controller)
Pros: Clearly the Nvidia Shield is geared towards gamers and geeks, it is considered by may to be the best streaming device on the planet. For gamers, the Shield can stream (almost) any game from an Nvidia GPU-powered PC in the same home, or anywhere with a fast internet connection via Geforce Now, Nvidia's proprietary game streaming service.
Why you may choose it over the Fire TV Stick: Much like the Apple TV, Nvidia Shield users tend to be a self-selecting bunch. If you are a tech nut and Android user (the Shield runs on Android TV), you probably already own a Shield.
Final Thoughts (TL;DR)
For me, the FireTV Stick strikes the best balance of affordability, features, and performance.
For $50, you get a device with a modern interface, support for the latest technology like 4K and Dolby Vision, and an Alexa-powered remote that, for most people, can replace all other remotes in the room.
In addition, if you enjoy content discovery and are an Amazon Prime subscriber, no one knows how to push new content like Amazon. I'll let you decide whether that's a pro or con.
At the end of the day, the Amazon Fire TV Stick is the most affordable entry into 4K streaming, and that alone may be enough to tip the scales for most people.

Scott Pendlebury Breaks Tony Shaw's 313 Game Record Tonight
Scott Pendlebury On Ambitions To Coach And Playing In An Empty Stadium
The A-League Announces Season's Pulse Amid Covid-19
Capping Off A Week Of Sporting News
OB Staff
The EPL set to return, the AFL returning, Vettel's shock Ferrari exit and Daniel Riccardo taking McLaren for a spin.
June usually provides little more than consistency—the EPL would often be well underway—with world news outlets heavily debating the standings of the Premier League table as well as a few Jose Mourinho memes circulating to continue festivities as per usual.
For AFL it's much the same. June would see little change, however this year with our beloved virus outbreak keeping sport's from happening, there's more shock news and dates to pencil in on your calendar. It's perplexing to think we haven't seen live entertainment for some months, with only a glimpse of the AFL's round one, and Dana White's latest UFC 249, sports fans are starving for live sport. This week of May saw much change (for the better).
June 11 (AFL set to return)
It's happening folks, Gillon Mclachlan has seemingly saved footy from the virus (for now) A somewhat over-it Chief Executive Officer of the AFL fronted the media yesterday to bring the news most Australian's have wanted to hear for a while. Football will return on the 11th of June.
While the AFL will make its return, it won't be as it was. Strict testing will pursue this year's season, with teams only allowed to train in groups of eight initially, where the 25th of May should see a return to full-squad training.
AFL Chief Executive Officer Gillon McLachlan, said, "Today is a significant step in getting footy back for everyone – our fans, our clubs, players, coaches, umpires, officials and staff, our broadcast and corporate partners and club partners and all who love the game."
With all of this said, how is this season going to happen? You may ask. Well, it will look a little something like this.
The AFL will release the remaining 144 games plus finals of the season in blocks of up to 4-6 weeks. The first block of games will be released over the next ten days, with games in the early part of the season being scheduled at AFL venues in states that have approved full-contact training and matches.
June 12 – EPL set to return
Oliver Dowden may as well be the Secretary of State in the White House. However, he is not. Instead, he is the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, and he says the government is "opening the door" for football to return in June.
We don't know what's more frightening, human's who haven't had a coffee in the morning, or EPL fans who haven't had any EPL for months? We do know, it's the latter.
The Premier League has begun planning for matches to be played behind doors (without a crowd) due to the coronavirus pandemic – and players may be set to return to training next week. It's unsure if the EPL will follow the micro training groups as the AFL will explore. However, a return to the pitch is imminent.
Safety measures will be put in place, and Dowden says the 'sport's plans have the government's support', as long as safety remains paramount.
Sebastian Vettel will leave Ferrari at the end of the 2020 season
You don't just leave Ferrari, do you know who I am? You'll regret this, are all terms Ferrari must be throwing at Sebastian Vettel as he makes the choice to breakup.
Talks of an extension had been taking place, with the Team Principal Mattia Binotto saying the four-time world champion was his number one choice to race alongside Charles Leclerc next year.
It's said terms couldn't be agreed upon. Vettel had this to say,
"My relationship with Scuderia Ferrari will finish at the end of 2020," said Vettel. "In order to get the best possible results in this sport, it's vital for all parties to work in perfect harmony."
The racer then added, "The team and I have realised that there is no longer a common desire to stay together beyond the end of this season. Financial matters have played no part in this joint decision. That's not the way I think when it comes to making certain choices and it never will be."
Daniel Riccardo will join McLaren
I am so grateful for my time with @renaultf1team and the way I was accepted into the team. But we aren't done and I can't wait to get back on the grid this year. My next chapter isn't here yet, so let's finish this one strong. Merci pic.twitter.com/YFfzbwrgD7
— Daniel Ricciardo (@danielricciardo) May 14, 2020
Yet another shock move within the F1, this time our very own Daniel Riccardo will make a move to McLaren. Arriving after 21 races with hihs newly appointed team Renault, Riccardo is seeking greener pastures, with a move set to make being a 'World Champion' a little more possible.
The NBA will end it's partnership with Spalding and begin with Wilson
We know! It's crazy to think we won't see that Spalding logo sprawled on basketballs anymore. Well, we may if they are older. Wilson will replace Spalding as the manufacturer of basketballs for the NBA.
Next season will be Spalding's 37th and final season in that role for the NBA. Wilson, the NBA's original manufacturer, will also provide game balls for the WNBA, the G League and, when it begins, the Basketball Africa League.

Still he remains the interim head coach, but the RFU need to get their man in full time
True, the record on paper so far is uninspiring. Two wins (over poor opposition) and one defeat, against a better team. But nonetheless, there is every indication that Stuart Lancaster may have hit on something as England rugby's head coach. Call it an X factor.
Because if – and forgive me for stretching this point rather further than it warrants – Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and that one out of Destiny's Child were deciding who should get the job long term, they would do much worse than stick with the man currently in situ.
They might cite a lack of star quality, and wonder how they could get him on the front page of the tabloids in a bid to drum up publicity. And they might, possibly with reason, wonder whether his voice was really quite good enough. But then Louis would stand him in front of some bongos and it'd all be fine.
But if they judged it on leadership, rugby nous and that intangible sense that one man is well on his way to single-handedly righting the English rugby ship, then Lancaster has to get the job full-time.
The World Cup was a disaster, on and off the pitch, for England. The RFU has been in utter disarray. Yet out of this, Lancaster appears to have generated a real sense of team spirit among his young charges, and at Twickenham last weekend there was a definite feeling of a new dawn. The past is forgotten – let's give this team a chance.
And while they have a lot to learn, the early signs are good. The backs are more exciting than ever, while this bunch of forwards have real promise – finally an England side that can both control the ball and recycle it at pace.
In a very short time, Lancaster has worked wonders. Let him continue.
Next week I shall be at the Global Sports Forum in Barcelona. I know, it's a tough job. This magazine is media partner for the GSF, which has a sparkling line-up of guest speakers on a range of subjects that affect everyone who is interested in sport.
It will be fascinating to see what transpires. Now, more than ever, those who run our sports need to speak to each other, learn from each other and help each other – and us, the paying public who keep them in business. Speakers include Lord Coe, Oscar Pistorius, Eric Cantona, ICC chief Haroon Lorgat and Juan Antonio Samaranch of the IOC, to name a few.
Sport readers can still get a 30 per cent discount to attend – go to globalsportsforum.mediactive.fr and enter the code GSF12QBBU3ST. We'd love to see you there.
Can't believe you weren't shocked by the appalling behaviour of Chisora and Haye. They should both be banned for life.

65% of UK consumers believe they are well prepared against cyber attacks
by Aaron Hurst 6 January 2021
A feeling of preparedness among over half of UK consumers regarding security comes despite 78% expecting cyber threats to increase in 2021, rising to 88% among users aged 65 and over.
Consumers aged 65+, surveyed by Predatech for its 2021 British Cyber Security Survey, also proved to feel the most secure, with 70% stating that they were well prepared against possible attacks, compared to 65% across all age groups.
Survey participants aged 18-24 and 25-34, by contrast, were revealed to be the least confident about being sufficiently protected against cyber attacks, with just 57% and 58% of those in those respective age groups feeling well prepared.
In addition, 71% of 18-24 year old users, and 74% of those aged 25-34, believe that cyber attacks are increasing, which reveals these age groups to be the least convinced about the notion of rising threats.
Kaspersky releases financial threats vision for 2021
Kaspersky has released its vision for key threats to the financial sector in 2021, which includes increases in cryptocurrency transit and extortion practices. Read here
When asked what actions they would take to improve their security, the most commonly cited measures among respondents were:
a mixture of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters in passwords (75%);
the enabling of password/passcode on all your devices (56%);
the installation of antivirus (55%).
65% of consumers aged 55-64 and 68% of those 65+ have installed antivirus, compared to just 45% of those aged 18-24 and 25-34.
Conversely, two-factor authentication (2FA) proved to be a favoured option with younger consumers; 42% of 18-24 year olds and 40% of those aged 25-34 said they use 2FA, compared to just 35% of consumers aged 55-64 and 27% of those aged 65+.
Attitudes towards data breaches
When asked how likely they would be to stop using retail, financial and social media businesses should they suffer a data breach, just 8% of UK consumers said that they were very likely to stop using a retail business that suffered a data breach.
This rises to 12% when asked about social media platforms, and 21% when asked about financial firms.
Participants aged 18-24 (68%) were shown to be most likely to look elsewhere if their preferred financial business suffered a breach, against a sample-wide average of 55%.
63% of European consumers have abandoned financial applications
A study by Signicat has revealed that almost two-thirds (63%) of consumers throughout Europe have abandoned financial applications in the past year. Read here
However, the youngest surveyed age group proved to be more lenient towards social media platforms, with 43% stating that a halt on activity over a certain platform that suffered a data breach would either be somewhat unlikely or very unlikely, versus an average of 24%.
"Overall people understand that the cyber threat is growing, but too many are missing the quick and easy steps that will help to safeguard them against these dangers," said Jason Johnson, cyber security expert at Predatech.
"Consumers should be more aware of where they place their data online, as information from data breaches is often exposed publicly and can arm attackers with what they need to access other accounts, and cause further damage."
2,005 UK residents took part in Predatech's 2021 British Cyber Security Survey, between 22nd December 2020 and 3rd January 2021.

The nationwide research Cambodia Violence against Children Survey (CVACS) found that more than half of Cambodian children have experienced physical and roughly a quarter emotional abuse. CVACS revealed that parents were often the abusers and in the qualitative study, both female and male respondents felt disappointed about the lack of meaningful interaction with adults, expressing a strong desire for affection and understanding from their parents. These findings of CVACS indicate a strong need for good parenting programs in Cambodia helping to improve the mutual communication between adults and children.

The Cambodia Children Psychosocial Distress Screening (C-CPDS) research aims at collecting nationally representative data on the prevalence of mental health disorders of Cambodian children regarding psychosocial distress. The study provides high quality baseline information to the Department of Psychology, the ministries of health and education and other institutions concerned with mental health issues of children in Cambodia. The information collected from this research helps to find out more about the most relevant mental health and psychosocial distress issues and needs in the young population of the Cambodian society in order to adjust programs, interventions and services. As results, the report on validation of CCPDS and Cambodia Functional Impairment Rating Scale (CFIRS) has been written up from this study.

International Desk: New Zealand will ban all types of semi-automatic weapons used in the Christchurch attacks, PM Jacinda Ardern has said.
She said an amnesty would be imposed so the owners of affected weapons could hand them in, along with a buy-back scheme.
"Now, six days after this attack, we are announcing a ban on all military-style semi-automatics (MSSA) and assault rifles in New Zealand," the prime minister said.
Ms Ardern said officials estimated that the buy-back could cost "anywhere between $100m ($69m; £52m) and $200m. But that is the price that we must pay to ensure the safety of our communities".
The lone gunman armed with semi-automatic rifles including an AR-15 killed people as they prayed on Friday. He is believed to have modified his weapon with a high-capacity magazine.
Australian Brenton Tarrant, who has been charged with murder, obtained a firearm license in New Zealand in 2017.
Addressing the impact on gun-owners, the PM said she knew "many of you will have acted within the law". She said weapons used by farmers for pest control and animal welfare would be subject to exemptions, including "0.22 calibre rifles and shotguns commonly used for duck hunting".
"I strongly believe that the vast majority of legitimate gun owners in New Zealand will understand that these moves are in the national interest, and will take these changes in their stride," she added.
The PM said measures would be imposed to prevent a rush of buying before the law comes in.
Ms Ardern said legislation to bring in the ban would be introduced when the country's parliament sits in the first week of April.
She said there would be a "short, sharp Select Committee process" for feedback on technical aspects of the law, and that changes to the Arms Act should be passed within Parliament's next session.
Once the amnesty period ends, anyone in possession of a banned weapon will face a fine of up to $4,000 and three years in jail.

Western Civic Amenity site - get a closer look
Saturday, January 16th, 2010 8:14pm
There's a chance for the public to look around the redeveloped Western Civic Amenity site tomorrow (Sunday).
A petition was started against Department of Local Government and the Environment plans to redevelop the St. John's site last summer but work went ahead in August and has been completed in budget and ahead of schedule.
Before the official opening on Monday the public are being welcomed to look around the site this weekend - but they are being reminded they can't yet dump their waste.
The open day will allow the public to examine the new facilities at the redeveloped Western Civic Amenity site before it opens officially on Monday - five weeks ahead of schedule.
The works were initiated in August to make the site easier to use for the public and more efficient to run for the workers.
People using the site will now drive onto an elevated area above skips so waste can be thrown directly in, instead of having to be loaded using a mechanical digger at the end of the day.
The site has also more than doubled in size to 3,600 square metres to allow it to cope with expected increased volumes of waste and to prevent queues from forming.

Home News The Surprising Shift in the Way Evangelical Millennials View Israel
The Surprising Shift in the Way Evangelical Millennials View Israel
Joshua Pease
While evangelicals still overwhelmingly support the nation of Israel, Millennials are more likely to be indifferent to the subject according to new Lifeway research. When asked their perception of the country of Israel today, Lifeway's research shows a slow decline of approval. 76 percent of respondents age 65+ have a positive view of Israel, but that rate drops with each generation and bottoms out with Millennials, who have a 58 percent positive view of Israel. However, the rate of direct disapproval for Israel is still fairly low—only 12 percent among Millennials—with 30 percent saying they're not sure.
What We Mean When We Talk about the Middle East
President Trump's announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital a few days after Lifeway releasing its research findings make the conclusions gleaned even more interesting. These results are leading some to speculate that there has been an evangelical decline in theological teaching on Israel. Darrell L. Bock, a board member for Chosen People Ministries and director of cultural engagement at Dallas Theological Seminary, speculates that when Millennials think of the Middle East, "they're more likely to think about Iraq or Iran or the impact of terrorism in the world, he said. The terror attacks on 9/11 changed the Middle East equation, and young people just aren't sure where Israel is supposed to fit."
This line of thinking presupposes that teaching about Israel equates with supporting Israel; however, the data suggest that at least some of evangelical Millennials' views on Israel come from a shifting theology. Lifeway's research shows Millennials are slightly more inclined to believe Christians have fulfilled or replaced Israel's role in history, but the biggest theological shift concerns their view of Palestinians.
When asked if evangelicals should do more to care for Palestinian people, 66 percent of Millennials agreed, with only 7 percent disagreeing. This stands in stark contrast to the 65+ crowd, 54 percent of whom agree, and 23 percent of whom disagree.
"Evangelicals largely believe God wants Israel to be there, they also think God cares how the nation of Israel acts," said Scott McConnell, executive director of LifeWay Research. "However, for the most part, younger evangelicals are indifferent about Israel."
Israel-Centric Eschatology Vs. Restored Earth Eschatology
A possible explanation for this Millennial apathy is a theological shift away from an Israel-centric end times belief. For evangelicals who believe the Bible teaches a literally-restored nation of Israel, the sovereignty of Israel is seen as a Biblical must; however, within many evangelical denominations, this eschatological approach has shifted from "must" to a "maybe." A look at James Choung's revamped witnessing tool, The Big Story, is an example of a reconsidered end times theology. Rather than salvation being a way to get to heaven after death, salvation now becomes the first step in restoring God's kingdom here on earth, a project that will become complete when Jesus returns and reigns over all creation.
Rather than an end times approach as seen in the Left Behind books—where Christians are raptured, Israel is restored, and then the world is destroyed and a new one created—Choung's eschatology sees Christians participating in a "new kingdom" building right now, one that will be made complete when Jesus returns and rather than destroying the world, redeems it. In this theology, the Israel in end times prophecies represents the time when Jesus re-establishes his kingdom, and his shalom, over all the world.
It's not that this eschatology is specifically taught in many churches, but more that many leaders of evangelical churches are increasingly influenced by it. Because of that, teaching on the importance of Israel isn't a necessary component of discipleship. Whether this is concerning for the church depends on your eschatological views. For those with an Israel-centric end times theology, the trend is certainly worrying.
Differing Views of the Future
Author Joel C. Rosenberg, who helped underwrite the Lifeway study, is particularly concerned by this study. The author of The Last Jihad series, Rosenberg is a staunch believer in the Christian duty to combat Islam and protect Israel as part of God's end times plan.
"Unless the church gives younger believers a healthy, balanced, solidly biblical understanding of God's love and plan for Israel, overall evangelical support for the Jewish state could very well plummet over the next decade as Millennials represent an ever-larger percentage of the overall church body," Rosenberg said.
What Rosenberg and Choung represent is the growing theo-cultural debate in evangelicalism about what living in light of the end times truly means. And according to Lifeway's survey, it seems the gap between generations on this subject is growing.

It's that time of year again—party, party, party.
Whether it is at the office or with friends and family, it seems impossible to make it through the season without your healthy eating habits going off the rails.
1. Don't go on an empty stomach. Going to a party on an empty stomach is like grocery shopping on an empty stomach – you pick up things you don't need. To avoid consuming too many calories, eat a healthy snack before you leave home. Betsy Oriolo, dietitian and nutritionist at St. Elizabeth Physicians Weight Management Center, recommends eating a salad with sugar-free and fat-free dressing, whole wheat bread with peanut butter and fresh fruit or vegetables before the party.
2. Focus on fun, not food. Once you're at the party, since you're not hungry, focus on socializing and enjoying yourself. While chatting, get yourself a glass of water or club soda with lemon wedges to hold something in your hand.
3. Mindfully indulge. Do not put anything in your mouth, before you put it on your plate. Being aware of the amount of food you eat is important. Go for fresh desserts like strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. Take a generous helping of the salad and dip your fork in the dressing instead of pouring onto your salad. Take small bites and chew your food slowly – savor the taste. Most importantly, remember the fourth bite will taste the same as the first bite.
4. Pour wisely. When measured correctly, one serving of alcohol has approximately 100 calories. Make sure the bartender is pouring wisely or pour your own drink if possible. Remember that replacing your alcoholic beverage with fruit juice will not help with reducing the calories consumed as fruit juice is high in calories, too. Drinking three to four glasses of water for every drink will also help you stay hydrated and full.

Movimiento Auténtico Social es un partido político del estado mexicano de Quintana Roo con registro desde 2018. El partido se considera a sí mismo como centro izquierda progresista.

Historia
El partido Movimiento Auténtico Social pidió su registro ante el Instituto Electoral de Quintana Roo en abril de 2017. El partido recibió su registro a finales de 2018. En octubre de 2021 el Instituto Electoral de Quintana Roo determinó retirarle el registro al partido debido a la baja votación que recibió en las elecciones estatales de ese año para ayuntamientos. Sin embargo, en noviembre el Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación determinó restituir el registro de la organización debido a que las leyes electorales de Quintana Roo sólo contemplan la pérdida de registro de un partido por los resultados de la elección de gobernador, y no en la elección de ayuntamientos.

En las elecciones estatales de 2022 el partido inicialmente se incorporó a la coalición Juntos Hacemos Historia, integrada por los partidos Movimiento Regeneración Nacional, Partido Verde Ecologista de México, Partido del Trabajo y Fuerza por México Quintana Roo. Sin embargo, pocos días después el partido decidió separarse de la coalición y presentar sus propias candidaturas.

This chapter discusses the relationship between fire (natural and prescribed) and nonnative plant species within major vegetation communities of the Northwest Coastal bioregion, and specifically addresses the role of fire in promoting nonnative species invasions, the effects of nonnative species on fire regimes, and usefulness of fire as a management tool for controlling nonnative species. Four plant communities of western Washington and Oregon will be covered: coastal Douglas-fir forests, montane forests and meadows, riparian forests, and Oregon oak woodlands. Three plant communities of Alaska will also be examined: coastal hemlock-spruce forests, boreal forests, and tundra (fig. 10-1). Table 10-1 provides a list of important nonnative species in the Northwest Coastal bioregion and their estimated impact within these plant communities.

Puritan Blister #44
2009: A Xiu Xiudyssey
by William Bowers
Puritan Blister
__PART ONE: APISTAT FANBOY
__ The announcement of Caralee McElroy's leaving Xiu Xiu has triggered reflection among superfans. This column could well be spent overwriting "objective" reasons why Xiu Xiu is my favorite band, but I dove off the completist, they-can-do-no-wrong cliff too long ago. I could be flip and say that they're my jam because they have the best t-shirts. I could go long and spew paragraphs about how deliberately (and admittedly) Jamie Stewart "utilizes" global/avant-garde modes/arrangements in an attempt to drape/overcome the ho-hum pedestrian aspects of whiteboy guitar-based music. I could play the mysterious-card and say that I heart Xiu Xiu because of how much of their work I am yet to understand.
I could also offer that Xiu Xiu is the best of the late glut of baldly-obsessed-with-Joy-Division acts, of which I tend to tolerate even the least creative (She Wants Febreeze, etc). Stewart's solo-tour shows have been closing with an awesomely stylophoned and whistle-looped "Ceremony", and his merch even dares to include a shirt reading LOVE, LOVE WILL TEAR US APART. What did you do, dear reader, to mark Curtis' death May 18, listen to the The Idiot, watch Stroszek, shepherd into existence some of the greatest music of the last century, or abandon your mate and child?
Xiu Xiu's suicide-romance can get "too real," though. I was wearing the group's "For Life" t-shirt, the one featuring the limp fist and slit wrist, during office-hours at my day job when a student entered to explain that she'd tried to kill herself and had been in a hospital. The bandages covering her arms were the only violation of her standard all-black wardrobe. (See, music critics, we act like all this shit is just breezy aesthetics, but: similar to how heaps of hood kids are actually being hypercapitalist thug-bastards along to the iciest hip-hop, a segment of the goth population is striving to embody the dorky bleakness of their record collections.) Anyway, she noticed the shirt and stopped me from apologizing. "No," she laughed, "it's appropriate." What I'm trying to illustrate is that Xiu Xiu's whole climate of relentless provocation offers certain folks a kind of, well, permission to acknowledge darknesses that they've been told to repress ever since they first doodled stormclouds instead of sunshines way back in kindergarten, and it can be strangely comforting/freeing.
I understand what is off-putting to some about Xiu Xiu, and have enjoyed (and even home-recorded) spoofs of Stewart's singular delivery and the "difficulty" of the band's song structures. But I love how indulgent, how adolescent, how shrill-on-purpose, how bilious-then-soft, how just fugging herniated their stuff is. When I was a slightly stupider person, I once asked Chris Ott, former Pfork staffer and author of a book on Joy Division, why so many Xiu Xiu songs contained those fussy interruptions and dissonant blasts. He answered curtly, "Because they're about child rape." Lest the subject matter become too sonically palatable, Stewart handicaps his hooks with art-pop gristle.
Which is probably why I burped, when an acquaintance recently asked me why I like Xiu Xiu so much, "because of the abuse."
__PART TWO: ABOUT THE ABUSE THING
__ Maybe my experiences are poorly representative of the human spectrum, but I've known only two people who weren't either raped or molested (by either relatives, children of abusers, partners, friends, or strangers). A counselor that I saw explained that not everyone ends up feeling broken or defined by it. He even confessed that there was no clear way to grid one's susceptibility to being shattered. Some people, he told me, never get over a sense that, say, their rectums were wrongly touched, while others may laugh, think "eww, now their fingers smell like ass!" and get on with life.
Lots of us, though, even if we were "only" exposed to emotional, physical, and psychological abuse, or the "mere" threat of sexual abuse, remain retarded by it. We, the abused, end up thinking we might not deserve good things. We imagine antisocial vigilante fates for intergenerational pervs at the gym, and yet we maintain villain-sympathy with regard to both reality and pop culture; our therapists claim that it's out of a sick hope that monsters will change, or are "secretly good." We treasure the movie Affliction and the TV series "Twin Peaks" (even finding its outsourcing/upgrading of the father's despicable behavior to an "evil spirit" sort of metaphysically accurate). Our favorite comedy skits are the "Mr. Show" one about greatness resulting from abuse (Lincoln, Newton, and Einstein saying "my father touched my butthole"), the "Upright Citizens Brigade" one during which a child can say only either "shut up" or "hit me," and the (very Xiu Xiu-sounding) "Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job" songs involving the neglected Casey & His Brother, who are hilariously morbid about their guardians' absentia. (Jamie Stewart's own dark sense of humor is too often overlooked in appraisals of his art.)
We, the abused, are parent-haunted to the point of never becoming parents. We stay trauma-bonded to folks who mistreat us while dismissing the well-adjusted and kind. We worry about the potential in our blood for perpetuating the cycle of wrongness, in a way that would seem unscientific if data didn't bear it out. We wonder about the obvious hole in that complacent ol' golden rule, to do unto others as you would have to them do unto you: But... what if I'm so messed up that I WANT to be mistreated? Is that a license to lash out?
A girl who had been gang-assaulted was visiting my house once when some well-meaning person stuck a flyer for Rape Awareness Month on my door. I stepped outside to read it, and my words-and-lettersy self just considered the unfortunate acronym, "RAM."
The girl's response was even more defeated: "Hmph," she said. "People aren't going to stop raping people."
__PART THREE: I KINDA HATE "ACTIVISM" BUT XIU XIU IS ACTIVISM
__ I obviously overbelieve that one's priorities/hobbyhorses result from one's psychology/biography. For example: certain politicians/preachers preoccupied with bashing homosexuality due to their own acculturated self-loathing. "Activists," according to my thinking, must be no different. Yup, I've spent enough time in South Carolina's Center for the Development of Non-Healing Wounds to insist that even a charitable nature must spring from some fundamental breach. Surely activists have got to be trying to cope with or compensate for something; no one is that organically together or beneficent, right? With what abyss, what blackness, are they trying to deal by supplying aid to the needy, or the infirm? What was the dark secret of my friend's wife who could cradle her child, flanked by portraits of Jesus, while describing to me how she watched a parasite exit a comatose Vietnam veteran's penis earlier that day?
But wait, she was one of the silent ones. Quiet, non-identifying-as-such activists, I'm cool with. Loud, self-labeling "activists," eff off. Go build little altars to your nobility and award yourself Daytime Emmys made of 14-karat plight. Srsly, learn to be Johnny Anonymous-seed. Linear, overt activism that calls attention to itself is as shitty as cosmetic beauty that does the same. And "political" punk-folk farted out for a like-minded protest-horny audience is just as redundant as hymns about being at church or club anthems about clubbing. (We'll be DIY when we make our own cigarettes, fuel, and plastic.) The consistently poverty-stricken Edgar Allan Poe dropped a great term for such "humble" imps: "self-bepuffed." Bragging about how you're going to cultishly "liberate" a particular community is as bizarre and arrogant as hoarding stuffed animals, which, as the cultural critic Daniel Harris has pointed out in his book Cute, Quaint, Hungry, & Romantic, is an act of sadism: surrounding yourself with helpless lessers in need of your propping. (Uh-oh, Jamie Stewart has been bragging about the vastness of his own plush harem.)
Yeah, okay, Xiu Xiu traffic in the properly political. Too often their songs, ("Support Our Troops, Oh!", "Guantanamo Canto"), videos ("Muppet Face") or t-shirts (the Iraq map one, the GWBush "You're Already Dead" one) served as my sole reminders that I was funding shady wars in which people I knew had died or been scatterbrained. The band's website voices support for all the right causes. And that lyric, "smells like Fallujah," might be the most charged reappropriation of Kurt Cobain's legendary dictum yet. Plus, I have never seen an image more Xiu-ronic than these waist-high soldier-shaped flag holders for sale at an Old Country Store. I mean, likenesses of troops, whom no one wants to see suffer or reduced to lame symbolism, pre-punctured with huge dildo or tiki-torch size chasms through them--
Xiu Xiu immediately assists lots of listeners, though, by addressing sexual abuse, in pop culture, in an artful way. That may sound insipid, but they do many people a world of good, just by making decent songs about a common form of suffering. Eminem's forthcoming "Insane" may change things, but what else would go on a sexual-abuse-happens playlist, Aerosmith's "Janie's Got a Gun"? That's the simplistic musical equivalent of the episode of "CSI Miami" during which a doggone pedophile frustrates David Caruso so much, and so stylishly, that he feels compelled go wade and squat in the ocean while still sporting his designer suit.
Another sense in which Stewart is a hero for the mangled majority is that, apparently, he's found a way to make dysfunction serve him. He hasn't fled success. His fixations evidently catalyze his productivity. His output suggests that the problem isn't the pain, but finding a place to put it.
Besides, the ills that traditional activism opposes (war, inequality, oppression, et al.) are rooted in the same force with which Xiu Xiu struggle to negotiate: bullying lust.
__PART THREE-POINT-FIVE: CONSENT IMPLIES RELUCTANCE
__ Another balm: the world of Xiu Xiu is awash in humanized, non-trad (i.e., non leather/dungeon) S&M imagery. Stewart probably exposes some folks, for the first time, to the therapeutic possibilities of safely eroticizing their fears and traumas. Authors such as Carol J. Adams (of The Pornography of Meat fame) might insist that it's wrongish, but many practitioners disagree. I had a chance to talk with her recently at a reception after her slide show, and I admitted that I either had such a broken psyche or was so awash in domination-centric propaganda that I couldn't grasp how her idea of completely non-objectifying and egalitarian sexuality would even work. Xiu Xiu's songs about boundary-testing mutual adult relationships might encourage one's conviction that permissive violence, or the performance of inequality, are indeed "okay" to find sexy. How could I detox from that, I asked Adams.
Without necessarily being ungracious, she looked at me as if part of me was dead. While I took a mouthful from my plate of vegan wieners, she wrote her prescription on a napkin. A book recommendation! Its title: The End of Masculinity.
__PART FOUR: I WENT AND SAW ME SOME JAMIE STEWART SOLO
__ Due to a heightened allergic reaction to pollen, itself due to a deviated septum, itself due to a shameful suckerpunch, the eustachian tube of my right ear had collapsed. So the docs had to administer a very Eno/ambient audiology test, puncture my eardrum with acid, and then vacuum out whatever horror was behind it. The lancer said, "you're going to feel tremendous agony, and then you're going to hear the loudest sound you've ever heard." These are the extry-masochistic conditions under which I experienced Jamie Stewart and his fabulous bird whistles.
It was the second-best Xiu set I've beheld, and I'm an old hand at these shindigs. The two new tunes from Dear God, I Hate Myself sound plenty thanatoptic, and seemed to foster strong emotional responses from showgoers. Stewart didn't do much more than honor his songs, which is to say that he avoids coming across as ministerial, and yet, there they/we were: sobby congregants.
I can't fully fathom groupiedom; I mean, girls who treat their vaginas like these David Cronenberg-y iPod docking stations for the boners of local/regional/national/international musicians? But my healthy crush on ol' Stewart makes me cling to my straightness harder than did females I fancied because they resembled Harmony Korine and Mos Def. I didn't want to have some homoerotic, sign-my-seven-inch exchange with him, and I didn't want to be one of those lingering post-show orbitards, chatting up indie stars about effects pedals and hair gel.
Yet: there I stood.
Under the heading "Debate on Sexual Abuse" on Xiu Xiu's blog, Stewart had posted the following: "i was given a note at a recent solo show decrying me for not engaging people in a discussion about sexual abuse during shows or warning people that there would be songs about sexual abuse during xiu xiu shows. that it could be traumatic for people who had dealt with this issue.
the note...was written in terms of "us" which i took to mean people who had suffered from abuse. if i read it correctly, it implied that i did not have the right to talk about it; that i am not part of this "us." although i would love not to be, i am.
the person who gave me the note asked me, before i could read it, if i wanted talk to him about this as yet unread note. which i said i would of course but then i could not find him upon then reading it...
i have no idea how to feel about this. part of me wants to say fuck you fucking arrogant wounded dumb shit, part of me wonders if i have not been clear about the purpose of being blunt about awful things, part of me thinks for sure i do not feel responsible for leading a discussion group during a show, part of me wants to do anything i can to be the right person for people who have gone through this but how? what do you think?"
He posted 16 responses, ranging from the thoughtful to the thoughtless, and from the brief to the voluminous, presumably providing a cross-section of what people seek/get from his music. For my part, I approached him, and was totally planning, I promise, to just nerdily thank him for some great albums.
What came out was, "I didn't defend my sister against my dad."
Stewart made an instantaneous eye-wipe gesture that I've never seen anyone else exhibit. Trembly but hoping to monitor my own floodgates, I think I blubbered unprofoundly for just a sec about so much of the world not being fair to kids, and about how Stewart's music was activism even when-- maybe especially when-- it wasn't staring down war machines. He put his arms around me and, yo, we hugged like grown men, hugging.
I bought a Xiu Xiu comb.

English Literary Renaissance consists of four subsets: The Elizabethan Age, the Jacobean Age, the Caroline Age, and the Commonwealth Period (which is also known as the Puritan Interregnum). • The Elizabethan Age of English Literature coincides with the reign of Elizabeth I, 1558 - 1603. During this time, medieval tradition was blended with Renaissance optimism. Lyric poetry, prose, and drama were the major styles of literature that flowered during the Elizabethan Age. Some important writers of the Elizabethan Age include William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Edmund Spenser, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Ben Jonson. • The Jacobean Age of English Literature coincides with the reign of James I, 1603 - 1625. During this time the literature became sophisticated, sombre, and conscious of social abuse and rivalry. The Jacobean Age produced rich prose and drama as well as the King James translation of the Bible. Shakespeare and Jonson wrote during the Jacobean Age, as well as John Donne, Francis Bacon, and Thomas Middleton. • The Caroline Age of English Literature coincides with the reign of Charles I, 1625 - 1649. The writers of this age wrote with refinement and elegance. This era produced a circle of poets known as the "Cavalier Poets" and the dramatists of this age were the last to write in the Elizabethan tradition. • The Commonwealth Period, also known as the Puritan Interregnum, of English Literature includes the literature produced during the time of Puritan leader Oliver Cromwell. This period produced the political writings of John Milton, Thomas Hobbes' political treatise Leviathan, and the prose of Andrew Marvell. In September of 1642, the Puritans closed theatres on moral and religious grounds. For the next eighteen years the theatres remained closed, accounting for the lack of drama produced during this time period.
Neoclassical Period can be divided into three subsets: the Restoration, the Augustan Age, and the Age of Sensibility. • The Restoration, 1660 - 1700, is marked by the restoration of the monarchy and the triumph of reason and tolerance over religious and political passion. The Restoration produced an abundance of prose and poetry and the distinctive comedy of manners known as Restoration comedy. • In English literature, the Augustan Age, 1700 - 1745, refers to literature with the predominant characteristics of refinement, clarity, elegance, and balance of judgment. Well-known writers of the Augustan Age include Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, and Daniel Defoe. • Age of Sensibility, literature reflected the worldview of Enlightenment and began to emphasize instinct and feeling, rather than judgment and restraint. A growing sympathy for the Middle Ages during the Age of Sensibility sparked an interest in medieval ballads and folk literature.
The Romantic Period of English literature began in the late 18th century and lasted until approximately 1832. In general, Romantic literature can be characterized by its personal nature, its strong use of feeling, its abundant use of symbolism, and its exploration of nature and the supernatural. In addition, the writings of the Romantics were considered innovative based on their belief that literature should be spontaneous, imaginative, personal, and free.
Victorian Period of English literature began with the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne in 1837, and lasted until her death in 1901. • Victorian literature deals with the issues and problems of the day. Some contemporary issues that the Victorians dealt with include the social, economic, religious, and intellectual issues and problems surrounding the Industrial Revolution, growing class tensions, the early feminist movement, pressures toward political and social reform, and the impact of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution on philosophy and religion.
The Edwardian Period is named for King Edward VII and spans the time from Queen Victoria's death (1901) to the beginning of World War I (1914). During this time, the British Empire was at its height and the wealthy lived lives of materialistic luxury. However, four fifths of the English population lived in squalor. The writings of the Edwardian Period reflect and comment on these social conditions. • The Georgian Period refers to the period of British Literature that is named for the reign of George V (1910-36). Many writers of the Edwardian Period continued to write during the Georgian Period. Georgian poetry tends to focus on rural subject matter and is traditional in technique and form.
The Modern Period applies to British literature written since the beginning of World War I in 1914. The authors of the Modern Period have experimented with subject matter, form, and style and have produced achievements in all literary genres. • Following World War II (1939-1945), the Postmodern Period of British Literature developed. Postmodernism blends literary genres and styles and attempts to break free of modernist forms.
American Literary Movements • 1607-1776 : Colonial Period • 1765-1790 : The Revolutionary Age • 1775-1828 : The Early National Period • 1828-1865 : The Romantic Period (Also known as: The American Renaissance or The Age of Transcendentalism) • 1865-1900 : The Realistic Period • 1900-1914 : The Naturalistic Period • 1914-1939 : American Modernist Period • 1920s : Jazz Age, Harlem Renaissance • 1920s, 1930s : The "Lost Generation" • 1939-present : The Contemporary Period • 1950s : Beat Writers • 1960s, 1970s : Counterculture • Ethnic Literatures, including, but not limited to: • African-American Writers • Native American Writers • Asian-American Writers
The Colonial Period of American Literature spans the time between the founding of the first settlement at Jamestown to the outbreak of the Revolution. The writings of this time centered on religious, practical, or historical themes. • The period 1828-1865 in American Literature is commonly identified as the Romantic Period in America, but may also be referred to as the American Renaissance or the Age of Transcendentalism. The writers of this period produced works of originality and excellence that helped shape the ideas, ideals, and literary aims of many American writers.
Between 1914 and 1939, American Literature entered into a phase which is still referred to as "The Beginnings of Modern Literature". Like their British counterparts, the American Modernists experimented with subject matter, form, and style and produced achievements in all literary genres. • The American Modernist Period also produced many other writers that are considered to be writers of Modernist Period Subclasses. For example, F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered a writer of The Jazz Age, Langston Hughes and W.E.B. DuBois writers of The Harlem Renaissance, and Gertrude Stein, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and Ernest Hemingway writers of The Lost Generation. • The Great Depression marked the end of the American Modernist Period, and writers such as William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, and Eugene O'Neill dealt with the social and political issues of the time in their literary works.
1939 marked the beginning of the Contemporary Period of American Literature. This period includes an abundance of important American literary figures spanning from World War II into the New Millennium.
