2024.05.19 18:26 SisterCyrene Is my understanding of layers 5 6 & 7 correct?

Could someone please verify for me if my understandings and definitions of layers 5 6 and 7 in the OSI model are correct? My notes aren't meant to be exhaustive at this point, just a rough, general idea of how these layers work. Layers 5 and 6 are making sense to me, but the Application layer is a little harder to understand. Here's what I've got so far:
5 Session - Creates, maintains, and ends active sessions between 2 hosts 6 Presentation - converts data into usable formats (like Jpeg, GIF, Mp3) 7 Application (noun, not verb, as in an "app", "program", or "process") - The application layer works together with the Session and Presentation layers by implementing all the protocols necessary to ensure that the User is able to use the application seamlessly.
Aside from any clumsy wording, is any of this information blatantly incorrect, or do I have it basically right? Thanks :)

2024.05.19 17:48 Loud_Sprinkles5872 Can someone please mark this short essay for inspector calls

the essay has not been completed yet, i just wanted get an opinion on my presentation of ideas. P.S I am aiming for a grade 7-8.
the question : how far does priestley present society as unfair in an inspector calls [34 marks]
the essay :An inspector calls is a morality and an anti-war play written by J.B Priestley in 1945 and set in 1912 in the fictional town of Brumley. The play follows through the involvement of an upper middle class family in the death of a lower class worker- Eva smith. J.B Priestley presents how far society is unfair by using the difference in power within the upper and middle class alongside the division in fair treatment based upon ones position and status within the class and gender hierarchy system. J.B priestley who was a socialist believed that this difference in class and gender systems should be abolished by the adoption of socialist views.
J.B priestley uses Mr Birling to show how far the society is unfair. He does this my presenting Mr Birlings attitudes towards people of lower class; specifically, females. In act 1, Mr birling commands Edna, the Birlings’ maid to “show him in here. Give us more light”. This suggests that Mr Birling expects Edna a worker from a lower class to serve the family tirelessly even past her usual working hours to contribute towards the celebration of Gerald and Sheila ‘s engagement – “ bring us some port”. Additionally, the use of imperative verbs- show and give suggest that Mr Birling commands Edna to follow is orders almost instantaneously. This shows us the mistreatment of the lower classes within the society . Priestley chooses to use Edna as a construct to represent the working lower classes of the patriarchal society in 1912 and 1945. Furthermore, the use of the repetition of “light” in the stage directions and in Mr Birlings words suggests that the working class will be the ones to enlighten the upper and middle classes and bring to “light” the mistreatment and unfair inequalities with in the patriarchal society and class systems. In addition, Mr birling also shows apathy towards the death of his former worker- Eva smith by claiming that “this girl” had interrupted his “business” by protesting for higher wages and it was his “duty to keep labour costs down”. This suggests that Mr Birling dismisses the death of Eva to highlight that he has no responsibility in her death as he was only doing his “duty”. The use of the verb- “duty” shows that he tries to justify his doing by claiming it to be the right thing to do. Priestley does this to further use Mr Birling as a construct of capitalism to encourage the contemporary audience to support socialist ideologies while criticizing the capitalist views held by the upper classes.
J.B Priestley also uses Gerald and Mrs Birling and their interactions with Eva smith/Daisy Renton to show how far the society is unfair. He does this by suggesting how Gerald and Mrs Birling exploited and mistreated Eva even when needed help the most. This is seen when, Gerald comes clean to the inspector stating that he had rescued her from “Aldermann Megarty” only to make her his mistress and lodge her a house over summer. He states that she had “lived economically on what I allowed her” before leaving her towards the “end”. This suggests that despite him rescuing her from a “notorious womanizer” ; had installed a dynamic of control in their relationship by “allowing her”. The use verb –“allowing” emphasises the control he had over her life as his mistress . Priestley chooses to do this to show the audience that even ‘good’ men such as Gerald have a considerable impact on showing how unfair the society of the 1912 is. Additionally, Gerald despite his exploitive behaviour towards the working class states that Eva had made him feel like a “fairy prince”. The use of simile shows that in Gerald’s views he had done the right thing to protect and shelter her, much like what a “fairy prince” would have done. Furthermore, the use of the adjective; “fairy” connotes that Gerald is wanting to be viewed as innocent and sweet almost painting himself as a perfect man who is found only in “fairy” tales. Priestley does this show to the audience that capitalism had been etched into the minds of people and that it will take a long time to overcome it and to support the equal treatment of society. In addition to this, Mrs Birling admits rather pridefully that she had “use my influence to have it refused” when talking about rejecting the charity and donation she could have given to Eva while she was pregnant with Eric’s child. The use of the verb- “influence” shows that Mrs Birling is aware of her social class and uses it actively to assert dominance over the poor working class women who need her help. This is also ironic as she is the head of the Brumley women’s charity organisation yet she undermines the women who need help from her ”charity” by referring to them as –“girls of that class”. The use of the noun- “girl” shows that she looks down upon the women of the lower classes to be immature like girls. Priestley chooses to use Mrs Birling to show that the older generation has negatively impacted the society with their overly capitalist views and to highlight the need to change within the government and non- profit organisations to avoid injustice and inequality in service. This shoes how far Priestley shows that the society is unfair.
thank you in advance :)

2024.05.19 14:08 Yurii_S_Kh Monotheism, Part 3: Islam

Monotheism, Part 3: Islam
Islam: Origins
Jibril (Gabriel) appears before Mohammed, drawing
The religion of the Law, which for 15 centuries prepared the chosen people for the coming into the world of the its Savior, the Incarnate Lord Jesus Christ, preceded New Testament religion. According to the Holy Apostle Paul, "the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ" (Gal. 3:24). It was all in all only "a shadow of good things to come" (Heb. 10:1). When the Savior came into the world, Old Testament religion had fulfilled its purpose. Our Lord Jesus Christ revealed to us the mystery of the Heavenly Kingdom and established the New Covenant, which was foretold by the prophet Jeremiah. "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Jer. 31:31-33).
Man was redeemed from original sin and its consequences by the voluntary death on the Cross of Jesus Christ as Savior of the World. He entered into an entirely new period in terms of his relationship with God in comparison with the Old Testament: instead of the law, there was a free condition of sonship and grace. Man received new means for achieving the ideal set for him of moral perfection as a necessary condition for salvation.
Islam, having arisen in Arabia in the seventh century, appeared as the religion of the law six centuries after the God of the chosen people of the religion of the Law fulfilled its purpose.
The difference between the Old Testament religion of the Law and Islam is not only that the latter emerged more than two thousand years after God gave on Mount Sinai the Ten Commandments and other precepts that governed life for the chosen people. The most important difference is that the Law of Moses has a Divine source. The book of Exodus gives a narrative of the majestic Epiphany. "And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up" (Exod. 19:17-20).
The founder of Islam, however, did not have a Divine revelation.
How did Islam arise? We read about this in the Hadith “Al-Jamii al-Sahih”. A mysterious being began to visit Mohammed. He slept in a cave on the slope of Mount Hira. On the night of the 24th of the month of Ramadan in year 610 someone appeared to him in human form. This event is considered the beginning of Islam. This story about it is from the Sunnah: “[A]n angel appeared to him and bade him 'READ!' 'I am no reader!' Mohammed replied in great trepidation, whereon the angel shook him violently and again bade him read. This was repeated three times, when the angel uttered the five verses that commence the 96th chapter: 'READ! in the name of thy Lord, who did create—who did create man from congealed blood. READ! for thy Lord is the most generous.’” Mohammed puzzled over whether a demon or angel visited him. He confided his experiences in his wife Khadijah. I will introduce more of the story of Mohammed's biography, generally accepted by Muslims: “She said to the messenger of God, ‘O son of my uncle, are you able to tell me about your visitant, when he comes to you?’ He replied that he could, and she asked him to tell her when he came. So when Gabriel came to him, as he was wont the apostle said to Khadija, ‘This is Gabriel who has just come to me.’ ‘Get up, O son of my uncle,’ she said, ‘and sit by my left thigh.’ The apostle did so, and she said, ‘Can you see him?’ ‘Yes,’ he said. She said, ‘Then turn round and sit on my right thigh.’ He did so, and she said, ‘Can you see him?’ When he said that he could she asked him to move and sit in her lap. When he had done this she again asked if he could see him, and when he said yes, she disclosed her form and cast aside her veil while the apostle was sitting in her lap. Then she said, ‘Can you see him?’ And he replied, ‘No.’ She said, ‘O son of my uncle, rejoice and be of good heart, by God he is an angel and not a satan’” (Ibn Hisham, Biography of the Prophet Muhammad).
It is surprising how easily and, gently speaking, naively this question, which in the spiritual realm is a question of life or death, had been answered with the help of a woman. Before all else, an Angel is a bodiless being, and for his sight there are no actual barriers: one can see through even clothes. Clothes hide nudity only from the eyes of man. Even so, the body of man in and of itself is not something perverse or shameful. It is a creation of God. The lust of man is sinful as well as is carnal desire, but not the body. In paradise the progenitors were naked and were not ashamed (see Gen. 2:25). The nature of an Angel is inviolate. They are alien to passions of man. But if this was a demon, then he could easily resort to trickery. Knowing how they tested him, he especially would be able to take leave of himself, so that they would take him for an Angel.
The attitude of Islam towards the Bible
Islam emerged as something syncretic out of several sources: ancient Arabic cults, Judaism, Christianity, Hanifism (a pre-Islamic monotheistic movement in Arabia) and Mazdaism (an ancient Iranian religion). There is no doubt that the Old Testament holy books and the Gospel had an influence on the formation of Islam. In the Quran many people and events from biblical history are mentioned. However, these stories are presented completely arbitrarily and inaccurately.
According to the Quran, man was created from water. "It is He Who has created man from water: Then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things)" (25:54). In another surah, it says: "Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood" (96:1-2). In another part it speaks about clay, "He created man from sounding clay like unto pottery" (55:14).
In contrast to the Bible, the Quran does not say that man was created in the image and likeness of God. This discrepancy is most profound. With God's image and likeness, man is summoned to commune directly with his Creator. He can become one with the Lord. This is not so in Islam.
The book of Genesis tells the story of how the entire family of the patriarch Noah (in Arabic, Nuh) was saved in the Ark. The Quran speaks about the death of Noah's son: "So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): ‘O my son! Embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!’ The son replied: ‘I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water.’ Noah said: ‘This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy!’ And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood" (11:42-43). Another surah tells it somewhat differently: "(Remember) Noah, when he cried (to Us) aforetime: We listened to his (prayer) and delivered him and his family from great distress" (21:76).
There is no need to provide more examples. In the Quran, things are especially distorted when discussing New Testament events. Here the differences are purely fundamental. The Incarnation, the Crucifixion on Golgotha, and the Resurrection are all denied. Even the event of the Nativity of Christ, known to the whole world, is described very strangely. It is alleged that Maryam retreated to a faraway place and gave birth to a Son under palms (19:23). In this surah, called Maryam, She is called the "sister of Harun," i.e. Aaron. He indeed had a sister named Miriam, but she lived 15 centuries before the Nativity of Christ.
Probably due to so great a number of errors and distortions, many representatives of Islam, in order to escape from this quandary, allege that the modern Holy Scripture of Christians has been distorted (a circumstance known as tahrif). Immediately, the question arises: what evidence do they provide? There is no evidence. Characteristically, the view of Muslims toward the Bible has undergone significant change over the course of several centuries. Early Islamic writers such as al-Tabari and ar-Razi believed that the distortion comes down to tahrif bi'al ma'ni, i.e. the corruption of the meaning without changing the text. However, later authors such as Ibn Hazm and Al-Biruni introduced the idea of tahrif bi’al-lafz, i.e. the corruption of the text itself. At that, both of these positions have been preserved to the present day. Thus, the level of acceptance among Muslims of the Bible depends on one's understanding of tahrif. The very existence of these fundamentally different positions indicates that there is no concrete evidence.
It is impossible to ignore one interesting feature of the attitude that representatives of Islam have toward the Biblical text. In that they do not have their own "undistorted" biblical text, they cite our canonical text as undistorted. However, when they need to support a point, for example, negative examples from the life of Banu Isra'il (the children of Israel) with a reference to parts that do not conform to Islam, they proclaim the text to be distorted.
Muslims allege that the New Testament (Injil), which the Quran refers to positively, is not in fact the current four Gospels. We have already said that they do not provide any evidence. The falsehood of the accusation that Christians distorted the Scriptures stems from the internal inconsistencies of the very Islamic authors who wrote on this theme. According to the Quran, the New Testament was originally a true, sacred text. "And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah" (5:46). In another section: "Say: ‘O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord.’ It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy" (5:68). This excerpt clearly demonstrates that the Quran itself does not speak of the distorted Scripture, but about "rebellion and blasphemy" related to misunderstanding.
There is one part of the Quran (10:94) which is very problematic for Islamic commentators: "If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt." This ayat refers the Muslim "in doubt" to the authority of the biblical Holy Scripture. Abdul-Haqq writes: “The learned doctors of Islam are sadly embarrassed by this verse, referring the prophet as it does to the people of the Book who would solve his doubts” (Abdul-Haqq, A. A. (1980). Sharing Your Faith With A Muslim. Minneapolis, MN: Bethany House Publishers. As cited in Geisler, N.L. (1999). Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Publishing Group). According to the logic of this verse, the biblical Scripture was undistorted in the 7th century at the time of the Quran's creation. Then one must recognize that the current text is also correct, since we use manuscripts written over several centuries prior to the Quran.
Textual criticism of the New Testament has achieved outstanding breakthroughs in the 20th century. Currently, there are over 2,328 manuscripts and manuscript fragments in Greek, coming to us from the first three centuries of Christianity. The most ancient New Testament manuscript, a part of the Gospel of John 18:31-33, 37-38, is the Rylands Library Papyrus P52, dated 117-138 in the era of the reign of emperor Hadrian. Adolf Deissmann acknowledges the possibility of the emergence of this papyrus even under the reign of Emperor Trajan (98-117). It is preserved in Manchester. Another ancient New Testament manuscript is the Papyrus Bodmer, P75. The 102 surviving pages contain the texts of the Gospels of Luke and John. "The editors, Victor Martin and Rodolphe Kasser, date this copy to between 175 and 225 A.D. It is thus the earliest surviving known copy of the Gospel according to Luke available today and one of the earliest of the Gospel according to John" (Bruce M. Metzger. The Text of the New Testament. p. 58). This precious manuscript is located in Geneva.
Uncial script on parchment: leather codices with uncial script, (in Latin uncia means inch) letters without sharp corners and broken lines. This script is distinguished by its great refinement and precision. Each letter is disconnected. There are 362 uncial manuscripts of the New Testament. The most ancient of these codices (Codex Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, and Alexandrinus) have already been mentioned.
Scholars complemented this impressive collection of ancient New Testament manuscripts with the New Testament text, which consisted of 36,286 excerpts of the Holy Scripture of the New Testament found in the works of the holy fathers and teachers of the Church from the first through fourth centuries. This text is lacking only 11 verses.
Scholars of textual criticism in the 20th century did a tremendous job on the collation of all—several thousands of—New Testament manuscripts and identified all textual discrepancies caused by scribal error. An evaluation and typologization was performed. Precise criteria for determining a correct variant were established. For those familiar with this rigorous scientific work, it is obvious that allegations of the distortion of the current holy text of the New Testament are unfounded. In terms of the number of ancient manuscripts and the brevity of time separating the earliest surviving text from the original, no one work of antiquity can be compared with the New Testament.
Accusations that the Bible's text is distorted are puzzling. How could it actually have been done? How could Christians and Hebrews have come together to do this? Everyone knows the degree of their mutual [doctrinal—Ed.] alienation. And yet both Christians and Jews use one and the same canonical text of the Old Testament. Furthermore, the entire New Testament was preserved in the Chester Beatty Papyri, composed in approximately 250 A.D.
It is inconceivable to accept that under the conditions that existed in Christian society, hundreds of exemplars of the New Testament text were miscopied for the purpose of distortion.
On the Monotheism of Islam
Historians and religious scholars regard the three "Abrahamic" religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, as monotheistic religions. For the researcher, the doctrinal principles that representatives of each of these three religions formulate are sufficient. However, on a theological level, the insufficiency of such a formal approach becomes clear. Monotheism is a necessary but not sufficient condition for true religion. Only a religion that has Divine revelation as a source has the true and spiritually accurate doctrine concerning God. Christianity not only maintains that God is the living, absolute source, "the only true God" (John 17:3; 1 Thes. 1:9; cf. John 5:20), but also teaches thoroughly and in depth of the nature of God as without beginning, without end, and of a perfect Spirit. The chief characteristic of the Divine nature is love. "God is love" (1 John 4:16). These words of the apostle contain the principal idea of the New Testament as the good news of salvation. The ineffable goodness of God created the world. The Lord housed man in paradise. Even after the Fall, God continued to love mankind. The greatness of God's love was revealed when the incarnate God died a most agonizing death for us. Christians know from not only the Holy Scripture, but also through the power of spiritual experience, that God is all-knowing and all-wise. The apostle says: "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do" (Heb. 4:13).
God knows not only all that has happened, and all that is, but he has also perfect knowledge of the future. The mirror of the supreme Wisdom of God is the universe which He created, astounding man with its extraordinary complexity, beauty, and harmony. God demonstrates his ineffable Wisdom also in the dispensation of our salvation. "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out" (Rom. 11:33).
True religion is not limited by the demand of worship for the Creator. Its ultimate goal is the spiritual unity of man with God. The Savior speaks about this in a prayer to his Father before his suffering on the cross: "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us" (John 17:21).
From the aforementioned characteristics of the Divine follows the concept of true, Christian monotheism. There can be only one all-powerful and all-just God.
The concept of God in Islam does not have a source of divine revelation. It developed on the basis of ancient Arabic religion. The word “Allah” was used in the polytheistic pantheon of Arabs to denote “God”: Allah (al - the definite article; ilah - god). Among the pagan Arabs, prior to their adoption of Islam, Allah was the supreme lunar deity, worshipped in north and central Arabia. The father of Muhammed, who was a pagan, was named Abdullah ("Servant of Allah").
In pre-Islamic times, the crescent moon was the symbol of the worship of the moon-god among the Arabs. This is confirmed by archeological evidence. The crescent moon was carried over as the main symbol of Islam.
Arabs of the Syrian desert called the wife of Allah as Al-lāt, and in the south of central Arabia, Al-‘Uzzá. In other areas of Arabia, they, along with Manat, were worshipped as the daughters of Allah. This genetic trail was preserved in the Quran. There is mention of this in the 53rd surah: "Have ye seen Lāt, and ‘Uzzā, and another, the third (goddess), Manāt? What! For you the male sex, and for Him, the female? Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!" (53:19-22).
In Islam, Allah is a created religious image by the human consciousness. He does not express the real almighty divine personhood. Consequently, monotheism in Islam is imagined. In a number of places in the Quran, he is endowed with intrinsically human characteristics and traits. Allah says:
  • "Those who reject Our signs, We shall soon cast into the fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty" (4:56);
  • "...There is no help Except from God, the Exalted, the Wise: that He might cut off a fringe of the Unbelievers or expose them to infamy, and they should then be turned back, frustrated of their purpose: (3: 126–127);
  • "The Hypocrites—they think they are over-reaching God, but He will over-reach them" (4:142);
  • "And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and God too planned, and the best of planners is God" (3:54);
  • “Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell: they have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle,—nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning)” (7:179).
What a great difference! Christianity teaches that God "will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim. 2:4), while Islam maintains that Allah created many people for Gehenna.
The idea of monotheism, (tawhid, from the verb wahhada—to reckon something as one) was formulated in the Quran in several surahs. For example, in the 16th surah, "The Bee": "For We assuredly sent amongst every people an apostle, (with the Command), "serve God, and eschew evil" (16:36). In the terminology of the sharia, anything people worship except for Allah is "taghut". Since Islam does not know of direct revelation, nor the holy Manifestation of God to the world, nor the unification of man with God on the foundation of love, its monotheism is imagined, formalistic and abstract, requiring not that man change himself or his way of life, but only worship and daily prayer.

2024.05.19 13:59 HiredEducaShun DELIBERATE MISTRANSLATION?: Gary Breaux Uses an Man-Made Title For The GB. The Bible Doesn't Call Them Future "Kings". NWT Inserts The Phrase "As Kings" Into Several Passages not present in the Original Greek To Fit JW Narrative.

DELIBERATE MISTRANSLATION?: Gary Breaux Uses an Man-Made Title For The GB. The Bible Doesn't Call Them Future
Turns out, every passage where the teaching stems that Anointed will be ruling "As Kings", has had words added not present in the Greek. In the original language, the Greek word is βασιλεύσουσιν, (basileusousin), a Verb (Not a Noun). A Verb for Reign. Yes it can be applied to Kings (as at 1 Timothy 6:15), but sometimes to regional governors (Matthew 2:22; Archelaus a co-ruler with Antipas and others over the former territory of Herod The Great). Again, it is a Verb for ruling/ reigning, not a Noun (title). The context or other passages would provide the Noun (Title) if applicable.
ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ (BASILEUS) is the Greek word for King. ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΝ (BASILEŌN) is the Greek word for Kings. Both of these are Nouns. But basileusousin is a verb. Jesus is called BASILEUS (King) numerous times. But Christs "brothers" are not once called BASILEUS (King) or BASILEŌN (Kings).
"As Kings" has been eisegeted/ read into every single passage translation the GB use to teach that the Anointed will be "Kings":
https://preview.redd.it/utsx86m2hd1d1.png?width=868&format=png&auto=webp&s=69b0f13591c4e13d953354feb577cca3581554dc
Lets take other translations used on the website. How do they render Revelation 22:5?
Bible in Living English:
And there will no longer be night, and they do not need lamplight and sunlight, because the Lord God will light them; and they will reign forever and ever.
American Standard Version:
And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Emphasized Bible:
And night shall be no more; and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of a sun, because the Lord God will give them light,—and they shall reign unto the ages of ages.
KJV:
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Only The NWT adds "As Kings" to these passages.
Can one "Reign With" A King and Not be a King? Note Isaiah 32:1,2
1 Look! A king will reign for righteousness, And princes will rule for justice.
2 And each one will be like a hiding place from the wind, A place of concealment from the rainstorm, Like streams of water in a waterless land, Like the shadow of a massive crag in a parched land.
Note also Revelation 4, 5, 11, 19, the Twenty Four Elders with "Crowns" are never called "Kings", but only ever "Elders". So there are other lesser positions from which one can be reigning with A King.
Why is this a important? Because now we have people such as Gary Breaux using this made up title tacked onto the end of a verb and applying it to the Governing Body as a title. Gary Breaux is venerating men (in the minds of other men) to a status that the Bible never explicitly bestows upon them. Is this not presumptuous?
https://preview.redd.it/a2keoyqahd1d1.png?width=1898&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a3218f72a3c759a8ec7a2e06126bd900656e6df
Whats more, the GB allowed these words about themselves to be published, they did not correct him or try to deflect any such flattery, showing that they approve of such made-up titles being given to themselves.
Even if there was such a title, contrast theirs with the attitude of Paul in Philippians 3:
"10... a sharing in his sufferings, submitting myself to a death like his, 11 if I may by any means attain to the earlier resurrection from the dead.
12 Not that I have already received it or am already made perfect, but I am pursuing to see if I may also lay hold on that for which I have also been laid hold on by Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers, I do not yet consider myself as having laid hold on [it]; but there is one thing about it: Forgetting the things behind and stretching forward to the things ahead, 14 I am pursuing down toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God by means of Christ Jesus. 15 Let us, then, as many of us as are mature, be of this mental attitude; and if YOU are mentally inclined otherwise in any respect, God will reveal the above [attitude] to YOU.
Given this attitude, do you think Paul would be caught dead calling them "Future Kings"? Have the GB already laid hold of it in their own minds? Paul did not consider himself already having laid hold of it, despite everything he had already done and was doing (more than the GB have ever done), and he was still pursuing it (it was only when he was on Death row that he felt he had accomplished his goal and felt he could say a crown was waiting for him in 2 Timothy 4:6-8). Ones having this mental attitude he calls "Mature" in verse 15. What do you think he would call the GB?

2024.05.19 10:16 IrinaMakarova Certified native tutor of the Russian language

Hello! My name is Irina. I'm Russian. With me, you will learn to speak, write, and read in Russian - without stress, in a relaxed and trusting atmosphere. Your success is my job.
In 2003, I completed my studies at Tver State University with a Master's degree in Teaching Russian Language. Since 2009, I've been working as a tutor, helping people who speak English to learn the Russian language.
As a certified teacher, I have the linguistic knowledge needed to explain the unique features of the Russian language, such as its system of cases, verbs of motion, differences between animate and inanimate objects, variations in verb tenses, and more. I ensure better understanding by providing relevant comparisons to English.
I offer: Conversational Russian; Russian for beginners; Intensive Russian; General Russian.
*Conversational Russian. Well, being a native Russian speaker, we can chat about anything :D. I guarantee you: expanding your vocabulary and improving your grammar; learning idiomatic phrases related to different topics; picking up slang (if relevant to the topic).
*Russian for beginners. Beginners are my favorite kind of learners: they're new to the language and don't know about cases yet. I welcome all newcomers and enjoy working with those who are starting from scratch; we'll get along just fine.
*Intensive Russian. Do you have limited time, but you need to learn a language "yesterday"? No problem! We will study 5 times a week, 2-3 hours a day, and by the next day, you'll need to learn a ton of material. Sounds tempting? Come on in! :)
*General Russian. I'll guide you through all the possible structures of the Russian language. It's a lengthy journey if you're starting from scratch, but it will be a calm, steady, and productive process.
First, we'll figure out your needs and level. From there on, we'll move at your pace, according to your preferences, and aligned with your interests.
However, the most challenging part for anyone learning any language is to start speaking and understanding real-life conversation. With me, you'll have a safe space to speak, make mistakes, and improve – a place where you can grow confidently.
Feel free to visit my site (check linked site in my profile) and check reviews and prices! First meeting is always free :)

2024.05.19 09:34 PrudentLycheeThe2nd "Wrapped in Opulence and Surrounded by Art: Heart x Bvlgari

Thanks to VoguePH's edit, I found this gem!
I absolutely adore how she showcased Bvlgari. It exudes heart and sophistication, and what adds even more legitimacy is her longstanding affinity for Bvlgari, evident long before her fashion maven era came to light. Such a class act!
Bvlgari Tubogas Description:
"Merging two of the most iconic symbols of Bvlgari design, the Serpenti Tubogas watch coils the sinuosity of the snake with the contemporary soul of tubogas. Evoking both the sensual curves of a woman and the fluid shape of the serpent, the timepiece is crafted with the shapely lines of this specific technique, with a flexible and tubular litheness. Radiating glamour and a truly individual style, this watch marks a distinctive chapter in the constant evolution of Serpenti. Serpenti Tubogas watch with quartz movement, 35 mm stainless steel curved case, 18 kt rose gold bezel set with brilliant cut diamonds, 18 kt rose gold crown set with a cabochon cut pink rubellite, silver opaline dial with guilloché soleil treatment and hand-applied indexes, 18 kt rose gold and stainless steel single spiral bracelet."

sinuosity - the ability to curve or bend easily and flexibly. a bend, especially in a stream or road. plural noun: sinuosities
coil - noun a length of something wound in a joined sequence of concentric rings. "a coil of rope"
verb arrange (something long and flexible) in a coil. "he began to coil up the heavy ropes"
Use coil + sinuosity in a sentence:
  1. If Heart Evangelista can flaunt Bvlgari tubogas for elegance, then surely the coil and sinuosity of my vacuum cleaner cord make me the epitome of chic every time I clean.
  2. Ah, the snake, the epitome of coil and sinuosity, gracefully weaving through the underbrush to snatch away the fruits of someone else's labour, dictionary left behind in its haste.
Kaya ladies, gayahin natin si Heart. Do 'ya homework. Remember, skipping homework is like playing hide and seek with your brain—eventually, it will find you.
Homework not Homewreck,

2024.05.19 07:08 SlowlyMeltingSimmer Verb Learning Strategy?

Does anyone have a strategy when it comes to learning verbs? I have a notebook where I write all the foreign words I encounter while studying. I write the article with the nouns. My teacher has me write the Rektion of certain verbs (if that's the right word, basically if it's followed by mit/auf/an/etc and which casw is used with it).
But I'm unsure of how to approach verbs. Do I just write the infinite? Should I indicate whether it's weak or strong. I think we used to write the infinitive, the Praktikum, and the Partizip II. What do you usually do when learning new verbs? Which forms of it do you learn?

2024.05.19 06:03 miki6048 Phrases that start with "the" followed by "of" should use singular or plural verb?

I have asked ChatGPT the above question, and it said the the key is to look at the noun or concept after "of" and make the verb agree with whether it is singular or plural in that context.
However, the examples that ChatGPT provided makes me feel more confused. For example, 1. The details of the conference have been released.
If I use the rule from ChatGPT, I should look at the word "conference", and use "has". However, it said the correct verb form is "have".
Another example like: 2. The list of ingredients calls for many spices.
According to the rule from ChatGPT, "Ingredients" is plural, then the verb follow this phrase should be "call" instead of "calls". But it said "calls" is the correct one.
I really mixed up by ChatGPT.

2024.05.19 05:30 T1mbuk1 An Idea for a Protolang

I'm thinking of a protolang mixing PIE with Proto-Taqva-miir.
PIE Consonants: m, n, p, b, bʰ, t, d, dʰ, kʲ, gʲ, gʲʰ, k, g, gʰ, kʷ, gʷ, gʷʰ, s, h1, h2, h3, r, l, j, w
Proto-Taqva-miir Consonants: m, n, ɲ, b, t, tʼ, d, c, cʼ, ɟ, k, kʼ, g, q, qʼ, ɢ, ʔ, s, z, ɕ, ʑ, ç, ʝ, x, ɣ, ħ, ʕ, h, r, l, ʎ, j, w
PIE Vowels: e, eː, o, oː(Though a, aː, i, iː, u, uː might've also existed with them.)
Proto-Taqva-miir Vowels: a, aː, i, iː, u, uː
For the consonants, I added the two amounts from each language, then divided by two, meaning that 29 consonants should be the amount for this protolang. Matching them, I could add whatever consonants from each set correspond the most neatly with whatever consonants from the other. PIE's syllable structure was (C)CVC(C), which allowed nasals and liquids in the nucleus alongside the vowels. PTM's structure was (C)V(R), meaning that only nasals and liquids, grouped as resonants, can end syllables and words. In terms of stress, PIE used a pitch accent, while PTM's stress system was the same as Finnish at first, with stress falling on the first syllable all the time, with the modern language's system being the same as Latin, meaning that stress falls on the third-to-last syllable by default, with the second-to-last one being stressed instead as long as it contains a long vowel or is closed.
For syntax, PIE word order is debated. Mixing the two hypotheses could lead to PIE having used a free word order still classified as strictly subject initial. PTM would utilize SOV as the word order, utilizing postpositions derived from verbs. PIE used prepositions, and adjectives before nouns, while PTM's adjectives are also derived from nouns. In terms of grammar, both PIE and PTM were going to share the same grammatical number system: singular, dual, and plural, though PTM, in the end, used singular and plural, which evolved into a singulative/dual/plural system with an inverse marker. I'm considering this mixture using an inverse marker alongside singular, dual, and plural markings.
Regarding the tense systems, PIE is said to have two tenses: past and present. It might've used an auxiliary as an indicator of the future tense. It also used three aspects: imperfective ("present"), perfective ("aorist"), and stative ("perfect"). There were also four moods, or five: indicative, subjunctive, optative, and imperative. An injunctive mood might've also been possible. PTM utilized an unmarked imperfective, a marked perfective via reduplication, and an infinitive. Reduplication plus the [i] vowel was used for the perfective converb, and an -in suffix was used for the imperfective converb, the -su suffix marking the infinitive. The standard copula, derived from "live", and the locative copula, derived from "stand", would be utilized to create a new tense system:
  1. Imperfect + Standard Copula = Continuous
  2. Perfect + Standard Copula = Past Continuous
  3. Imperfect + Locative Copula = Future
  4. Perfect + Locative Copula = Future in the Past
(A negative copula was also used.)
PIE only utilized one copula: h1es-. They might've also used others like the following: bʰuh₂-(maybe "grow" and "become"), h2wes-(maybe "live"), h1er-, and (s)teh2-("stand").
Regarding valency-changing operations, PIE is said only to use a causative, while PTM utilizes a mediopassive derived from "take/get" and a causative/commitative derived from "lead". At least that was the original plan. The modern form uses the following operations: detransitive, causative, reflexive, reciprocal, mediopassive (detransitive + Dative), and antipassive (detransitive + Genitive). And via morphology.
And speaking of morphology and synthesis, while Proto-Taqva-miir is somewhat agglutinative, the eventual modern language being fusional, PIE was fusional. At least I think so, though I need better clarity. PIE lacks a dominant order regarding comparatives(superlatives, sublatives, etc.). However, PTM utilized auxiliaries and later a morphological system to indicate everything: comparative, superlative, sublative, intensive, excessive, equative, and contrastive. Unfortunately, there is no paucative marking as far as I'm aware. I'd need to look at the other Conlang Case Study videos. Let me make a list, and I keep the following distinct and antonymous with augmentatives and diminutives, which relate to size descriptions of nouns unrelated to other nouns.
Comparative: ???
Superlative: highest degree
Sublative: lowest degree
Equative: equal value
Contrastive: different value
Intensive: stronger
Excessive: too much of something
???: weaker
Paucative: too few of something
What is supposed to go where the triple question marks are? I'd like to know. Here's a bonus question: Which of these have been reconstructed and are theorized to have existed in Proto-Indo-European?
I'm also thinking of looking into the question words of PIE, and seeing what I should do from there, as Biblaridion is thinking of auxiliary question words like "what+thing", "what+place", "what+person", etc. And I have ideas for the languages it could split into. It's for a hypothetical(either actual or fictional) D&D campaign.

2024.05.19 04:36 OntoZebra Mi Amarara GLUBOING.

Mi Amarara GLUBOING.
In Lumina, the translation for "I love GLUBO" following the established language rules would be:
  • English: I love GLUBO.
  • Lumina: Mi Amarara Gluboing.
Here, "Mi" stands for "I", "Amarara" is the verb "to love", and "Gluboing" is the noun "GLUBO" with the noun-ending "-ing" to fit the Lumina language structure.
Feel free to explore more of Lumina or ask for translations! ✨

Certainly! Let's create a simple language structure around the word "Ening" for "background". We'll call this language Lumina.
In Lumina, we'll establish some basic grammar rules:
  1. Nouns: All nouns end in "-ing". For example:
    • "Ening" (background)
    • "Siling" (sky)
    • "Trening" (tree)
  2. Verbs: All verbs end in "-ara". For example:
    • "Walkara" (to walk)
    • "Talkara" (to talk)
    • "Readara" (to read)
  3. Adjectives: All adjectives end in "-ique". For example:
    • "Brightique" (bright)
    • "Darkique" (dark)
    • "Strongique" (strong)
  4. Adverbs: All adverbs end in "-lyte". For example:
    • "Quicklyte" (quickly)
    • "Softlyte" (softly)
    • "Loudlyte" (loudly)
  5. Prepositions: All prepositions are prefixed with "pre-". For example:
    • "Pre-above" (above)
    • "Pre-below" (below)
    • "Pre-within" (within)
  6. Articles: "The" is "Le", "A" is "Un", and "An" is "Une".
  7. Sentence Structure: The sentence structure follows Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order.
Here's an example sentence in Lumina: - English: The bright sun is in the background. - Lumina: Le Siling Brightique ara pre-within le Ening.
Feel free to ask for more words or phrases in Lumina! 🌟

2024.05.19 03:05 error404ll please only people who understand objects of propositions + gerunds - huge help.

it was the hardest topic for me to understand, and i think i've figured it out.
so I have made a summary, tell me if it's correct.
objects after propositions - structure:
verb/adjective + propositions + gerund (noun)
example with a verb:
"the large rock prevents people from driving on the road"
verb - prevents
proposition - from
noun, and object - driving
example with adjective:
"I'm interested in improving my english"
adjective - interested
proposition - in
noun, and the object - improving
are the structure and the examples are correct? have i captured this tough topic? :(
also I've made another summary tell me if everything is correct.
objects without propositions - structure: verb+gerund
example: "he hates waking up early"
verb - hates
noun, and object - waking .

2024.05.19 00:00 Cervantes6785 The commutative property in algebra: François-Joseph Servois.

The commutative property in algebra: François-Joseph Servois.
https://preview.redd.it/ig6vx91ta91d1.png?width=278&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea3cf7087f2165c9a00b8380629723b6a1d038d8
François-Joseph Servois was a fascinating figure who led a multifaceted life. Born in 1767 in France, he initially pursued a path in the priesthood but later joined the French military during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution. Despite his military career, Servois maintained a deep interest in mathematics and continued his studies whenever possible.
_________
François-Joseph Servois initially intended to pursue a career in the priesthood. He attended religious schools in both Mont-de-Laval and Besançon, where he studied theology and prepared for ordination. He was eventually ordained as a priest in Besançon near the beginning of the French Revolution.
However, the turbulent political and social climate of the French Revolution quickly disrupted Servois's plans. The Revolution brought significant changes to the Catholic Church in France, including the confiscation of church property and the persecution of clergy. These events likely influenced Servois's decision to leave the priesthood in 1793 and join the French army.
It's unclear to what extent Servois remained devoted to his faith after leaving the priesthood. While he pursued a military career and immersed himself in mathematics, there's no evidence to suggest he explicitly renounced his religious beliefs. It's possible that he maintained a personal faith even as he transitioned to a different career path.
Servois's interest in the priesthood is a relatively lesser-known aspect of his life, often overshadowed by his military and mathematical accomplishments. However, it provides valuable context for understanding his early years and the complex historical context in which he lived. The French Revolution forced many individuals to make difficult choices and re-evaluate their paths in life, and Servois's story is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit.
Servois eventually became a professor of mathematics at the artillery school in Metz. This position allowed him to fully immerse himself in mathematical research and teaching. In 1814, he published a paper titled "Essay on a New Method of Exposition of the Principles of Differential Calculus." Within this paper, Servois introduced the term "commutative" to describe the property we now know as the commutative property of addition and multiplication.
It's important to note that Servois didn't invent the concept of commutativity. Mathematicians had implicitly understood and used this property for centuries. However, Servois played a crucial role in formalizing and naming the concept, bringing it to the forefront of mathematical discourse.
His use of the term "commutative" was derived from the French verb "commuter," meaning "to exchange or swap." This aptly describes the essence of the commutative property, where the order of numbers can be exchanged without altering the result.
Servois' contributions to mathematics extended beyond the commutative property. He also worked on projective geometry, functional equations, and complex numbers. His work helped lay the groundwork for the development of abstract algebra and our modern understanding of mathematical structures.
After retiring from the military, Servois returned to his hometown, where he continued his mathematical pursuits until his death in 1847. Though not a household name, François-Joseph Servois is remembered as a pioneer in the formalization of algebraic concepts, including the commutative property, which remains a fundamental principle in mathematics today.

2024.05.18 22:12 FlahtheWhip What Word Power* would you want if you lived in my world, Pulcherri?

*name is wip
In my world Pulcherri, everyone is born with powers based around one random word related to one of their parents' Word. For example, if a parent's Word is Space, their child's Word could be related to spatial concepts, like the word Time (spacetime) OR related to outer space, like Star. As for the powers, what the person can do has to make sense with their Word, and it always starts as just one thing the person can do and at a very weak level. As a different example, Emotion, would start as just willingly changing one's own emotions. It would then grow to change and sense others' emotions. And since the story for the webcomic will have a shounen anime angle, I'll throw in stuff like turning emotions into energy for attacks or manifest them as weapons like big ass swords (because anime). If you guys don't understand, I'll throw in more examples. I based all of these off Epithet Erased's magic system.
If I could choose, I'd choose words like Imagination, Fantasy, Creativity/Creation, Art, Magic, or Fiction. Anything artistic or creative. Or words like Change, Adapt, Alter, verbs that can change things. If you guys want to use my system for like fanfics for MHA, go right ahead.
CLARIFICATION 1: Almost forgot. Certain kinds of words are not eligible. Pronouns, determiners, adverbs, proper nouns, and conjunctions are not eligible. Verbs that are not dynamic or stative are not eligible. Adjectives that are not descriptive, attributive, or participial are not eligible. (Our)Memes are not eligible because 1) That's stupid. and 2) Their context certainly wouldn't exist inside Pulcherri.
CLARIFICATION 2: Eligible words have to be in the collective public's understanding, and STAY there, meaning words that no one uses or understands anymore will no longer be eligible. This includes extinct languages.
CLARIFICATION 3: (Gonna have to do this a lot since I left out a lot of stuff) Everyone has different words, it's just everyone's Word is related to their parent's. If a word has multiple meanings, you get powers related to ALL of its meanings. Two people can't have the same word (at least in the same language, might change that), so powers related to its meanings can't be split among two or more people.

2024.05.18 20:18 commonsensetrader47 Just my 2 cents worth, ok maybe 3 cuz it's kinda long-winded...

I am sharing my little story here, I don't care if you upvote or downvote, cuz what I'm sharing here is the truth, so love it or hate it, it is what it is, and that's for you to decide what you think of, regarding what I'm sharing.
So I bought into FFIE under pretenses that many others may have bought into it. (As potentially false) I was told by a friend, and I hurried up and jumped and didn't do my own DD, and so on and so forth. So my original piece (I don't do share amounts, and let it be known, my amounts are so small, they will have minimal impact as it is) was so profitable so fast, I decided to de-risk myself (and my father's risk, as this part is 3 IRA accounts, two are mine, and one is his, he entrusts me to oversee his funds), so we sold out of 4/5 of our original pieces of equal share amounts in those 3 accounts, each bought in in the ballpark of .54 to .56 per share, and selling out to get our original investment back plus a little profit, so we can let ride those shares we have remaining. (That happened Wednesday)
So it started to go so crazy, that I decided to do something I normally don't do and buy the same amount of shares we have left in those first three accounts in three other trading accounts I also watch, one for myself, one for my dad and one for my brother. Reason I don't normally do stuff like this in accounts like those is because I don't like to incur tax consequences in our regular old boring LTBH (a fore-father of the HODL I'd contend) so that's usually not in the cards. (That buy-in happened Thursday, .86 per share for those little blocks)
So because of all of the above, and in conjunction with what happened on Friday, here's why I have decided to put all the blocks of shares I and my family (through our collective methods) have accumulated into a HODL-ing pattern for us personally, and here's why:
First three blocks of shares are like free $, in the sense that the original investment and a little profit is back in our accounts, so whatever happens with those, happens with those.
Second three blocks, I don't want to incur any taxation without representation anyway, so why bother selling any of those, it's better to keep them for the long haul.
Third, the impending earnings report may have an impact, I don't know, however I'm just guessing/speculating on that part.
Fourth, the amount of folks jumping in on this sub has grown quite substantially, I think it was at like 6k or thereabouts on Wednesday morning when I first took a look at this sub. (didn't join the sub right away either, btw, and not 100% sure if that was earlier or later, I'm not exactly remembering how that went down)
Fifth, while I don't have a problem with you as an individual investor if you decide to take your own calculated risk and take a short position in a company b/c you believe said company isn't a good investment, I DO have a problem with you if you are part of the dishonest non-integrity having MOFO's in the hedge-fund industry who are pounding the little guys down(IMHO) with what appears to my eyes to be dishonest, overbearing, and underhanded looking intentions behind these moves.(IMHO) If you are in that latter group, I don't consider you anything more than an at best my opponent in this chess match we call life, and at worst, someone who should be locked up and put behind bars if what you are doing is illegal at worst, or if only legal but still un-ethical at best.(IMHO)
So for what it's worth, this is my story and I'm sticking to it. Call me a paper-handed little bi#%h for how this story starts. I'm fat, my thick skin can take the name calling, no problem. Call me a longwinded SOB, however, that's not very nice of you to talk about my mom like that, and clearly, I'm a man of few words, so what gives? (c'mon, dumb dad jokes and ironic stupid-ness humor is all I have in most places in my life, so you'll have to excuse the use here)
None of this is financial advice. I am not a financial advisor, nor would I advocate ( verb or adverb, not noun here, {add voh kate}, to eliminate any double entendre from the other pronunciation of the same word which would ruin the English and change the meaning) that anyone make any of their own personal moves based on what I'm sharing here. I just like to share my story, b/c the one weapon I know I have in my arsenal which puts me in what I'd like to think is the "untouchable" crowd, is that everything I have said here is true, and in my little world, the TRUTH will ALWAYS set you FREE.
Have a great weekend, good luck and best wishes to all!

2024.05.18 18:03 Ok-Summer2528 The blossoming of innate awareness (verses 1-16)

Below you will find a complete translation of a work of the Mahārtha (aka Krama) school of Śaiva Tantra that is intended specifically for those who wish to access its sublime wisdom directly through the embodied practice of its techniques.
This text, the Svabodhodaya-mañjarī, teaches inner yoga, that is, subtle but powerful techniques of awareness cultivation that effect the unfolding of awakening and thereby give rise to the unconditioned joy of pure Being which is entirely free from all mental constructs of Varna, social status and all other artificial barriers.
The author of this text, Vīranātha, was taught under one of the greatest gurus of the tradition. So revered was She that the disciples didn’t even dare to say Her name, only calling Her “Goddess K” as She was seen as the full embodiment of the supreme Shakti.
Translation of the first 16 verses:
1.By [realizing] the essencelessness of [all] entities and states of mind through a thorough investigation of [the nature of] awareness (bodha), one attains an awakeness (bodha) which gives rise to unconditioned joy. That joy is the natural state of the Self, and that is the deity I worship. OR 1. I venerate the natural condition of [our] innate being, which is the joy that arises from the awakening (bodha) attained due to [realizing], through a thorough investigation of awareness (bodha), the fact that [all] entities and states of mind (bhāva) have no separate or independent existence [apart from Consciousness, which is the Self].
  1. The group of five subtle sense elements (color, flavor, odor, texture, and sound) comprise the [sensual] world. They are grasped by the five cognitive powers of sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing.
  2. In all conditions, the sense-faculties of embodied beings are founded on the mind. If that can be dissolved, everything is dissolved for him.
  3. The means to the dissolution of that very [thinking mind] was taught by the Guru(s) of previous times. Due to fear that this sacred teaching (āgama) will be lost, it is [here] clarified by me, [Vīranātha/Vāmanadatta].
  4. Everyday behavior is formed by mental constructs such as universal categories like caste etc. and so is based on the mind. But these categories do not actually exist. By realizing this, [the yogin] will attain tranquillity (śama).
  5. When the semen and blood is mixed, [producing the zygote,] the mind is nowhere to be found. It is not in the embryo, nor in the fetus, it exists nowhere in the body [as a static, specific, objectifiable thing].
  6. Whether it is newborn, juvenile, or youthful, the body is decaying in every moment, ending in complete destruction. It cannot be grasped [as a thing in itself]
  7. name is one thing, form is another, its parts such as hair etc. each have their individual existence [and name]—the whole can be broken down [indefinitely] into parts, as we can see. So where is the “body” [as an independent object]?
  8. Upon reflecting in just this way, the concept of ‘caste’ or 'class' is likewise blocked [since it consists only of specific individuals, subsumed into a category constructed by the mind]; it is not actually connected [to reality], nor is it manifest to anyone [as an objective thing].
  9. One’s name is given by one’s father; [to label someone with] a verbal noun [like ‘a teacher’ or ‘a cook’] is illusion, since s/he is not restrained [to that action alone]. If someone is considered in terms of the fact that s/he bears a certain quality, [we object that] there are many qualities [therefore to label someone according to any one of them is arbitrary].
  10. Seeing in this way that the mind is unstable, overwhelmed/ inundated [as it is] by the impressions (saṃskāras) arising from false mental constructs, one can and should dissolve it.
  11. ‘Cessation’ (nirodha) [of the mind] was taught by previous [masters] through the yoga/method of renunciation [of the mind and senses] and arduous practice. Here I will teach a cessation that is [comparatively] effortless.
  12. Focus the mind upon something that then dissolves. Because it is not grasping anything else [other than the dissolving object], the mind comes to rest in one’s Self.
  13. It is similar to the case of a powerful thunder-clap gradually fading: when it dies away, the mind, due to being [totally] focused on it, comes to rest.
  14. One should give oneself to one-pointedness [i.e. meditate] on any enchanting (manohara) sound that comes into one’s hearing, until ceasing it brings about the cessation [of mind].
  15. In precisely the same way one may meditate on the beauty of the visible and other [objects of the senses]; after the object-perception has dissolved, one should let one’s awareness remain empty/clear [/not thinking on what has dissolved], invigorated by the sense of one’s own immediate being (ātmabhāva).

2024.05.18 16:46 AlabSalamin Tried Translating the Aeons' Paths on Honkai: Star Rail in Tagalog

Before we begin, do note that I am restricting myself in only using native Tagalog words.
This is so that I can comfortably use the Tagalog circumfix "ka-____-an" which turns a root word into an abstract noun; showcasing the "concept" part of the Paths. It's also used for addressing someone like: Your Highness (Kataasan), Your Majesty (Kamahalan) etc.
In some translations, I will try and explain the reasoning behind my choices except for the ones that are straightforward at the end.
I'm just basically doing this because I thought it would be interesting to use the circumfix ka-___-an to have some unity to the naming conventions.
Here it is:
The Abundance –> Kasanàan
The Elation –> Katuwâan
The Harmony –> Kamayawán
The Order –> Kasunúran
The Remembrance –> Kagunitaán
The Equilibrium –> Kapantayan
The Nihility –> Kawalâan
The Beauty –> Kagandahan
The Hunt –> Katugisán
The Permanence –> Kalagián
The Enigmata –> Kabugtungan
The Destruction –> Kawasakán
The Finality –> Kawakasan
The Erudition –> Katalisikan
The Enigmata –> Kabugtungan
The Voracity –> Kasibaán
The Preservation –> Kasatilihán
The Propagation –> Kalaganapán or Kayabungán
The Trailblaze –> Kaagtasan or Kabagtasan
The Abundance –> Kasanàan
This word means Abundance with the association of hell. I used this word because of this Reddit comment that made it perfect as the translation.
It also has a similar pronunciation of the word for just abundance (kasaganahan) with both having similar syllables except for "ga" and having the stress at the penultimate syllable.
The Elation –> Katuwâan
This one might be self-explanatory as the root word just translate to "joy" but I picked this out of the other synonyms for "happy" in Tagalog because its proto-austronesian meaning is "luck". So, yes. I picked that one because of that one Aventurine conversation.
The Harmony –> Kamayawán
I struggled with this one because I kept trying to look for a word that has the "musical" and "oneness" connotation of the original word.
I kept trying to look for a word that's commonly used but then gave up and just ask my mom if she has an idea and that's where the word "mayaw" came from.
She said it means getting along with others. So I check an online Tagalog dictionary and it states:
má·yaw adjective (old tagalog)
1.voices are one or have harmony.
It also gained a new meaning in the Maugnayin Science Dictionary Filipino-English as the word for "cosmos".
The Order –> Kasunúran
This one I'm entirely not confident on; as it's hard to find a word that's narrow in meaning, but still similar, to the word I picked for Harmony.
I'm unsuccessful so I just picked the word for " to follow (sunód)" because if you used that with the "ka-___-an" circumfix it has the connotation of a list of "orders" to follow.
The Remembrance –> Kagunitaán
This one I picked instead of the more common word for "memory (ala-ala)" because it has a broader meaning and much shorter than ala-ala.
The Equilibrium –> Kapantayan
The root word just mean equal or fair (pantáy).
The Nihility –> Kawalâan
I didn't used the shortened "Kawalán", even though they have the same root word for "nothing (walâ)", because more people associate that with the void or space. Also it makes it sound more like an abstract word than Kawalán.
The Beauty –> Kagandahan
The root word just means beauty (gandá).
The Hunt –> Katugisán
The root word just means hunt (tugis).
The Permanence –> Kalagián
The root word means "always (lagì)". I'm iffy about this one as it doesn't have the same weight for me as Permanence. I could also use the word for before (dati) since according to dictionaries its synonym with permanent, I think? But honestly I prefer Kalagián more than the other one.
The Destruction –> Kawasakán
I picked this word because I want it to be similar to the word that I picked for Finality. Since it was, I think, mentioned in the game that The Destruction has the possibility to get absorbed to The Finality because the latter is more broader in concept.
The Finality –> Kawakasan
Same explanation as The Destruction. Are the two words even cognate/doublet with each other?
The Erudition –> Katalisikan
I used this word instead of the word for knowledge (dunong) or intellect (talino) because the word "talisik" means " a knowledge that's obtained from rigorous study and also the closest to the word "erudite (matalisik)". Which best describes the followers of Nous.
The Enigmata –> Kabugtungan
I have to actually look up the etymology of the word Enigmata to find a suitable translation for it. It means "to speak in riddles" which pairs up nicely to the Tagalog word for "riddle (bugtóng)".
The Voracity –> Kasibaán
For this one I just search about the Tagalog version of the seven deadly sins and picked the word for gluttony.
The Preservation –> Kasatilihán
I got the word (satili) from the word for preserve (panatili). I think the root word " tili " is not used in Tagalog anymore that's why it always has an affix when used in a sentence. Even if the word " tili " means a "state of permanency" the way it's derived terms used it to mean preserve is still possible since it is a verb:
Wiktionary States that: the prefix sa- is used to denote a method or means to a purpose, ‎sa- + ‎puso (“heart”) → ‎sapuso (“act of having put to heart”)
The Propagation –> Kalaganapán o Kayabungán
The word "laganap" means spreaded-out.
Since the word Propagation is linked to agriculture, another great translation is the word for "thriving; abundant growth; foliage; plentiful foliage (yabong)"
The Trailblaze –> Kaagtasan o Kabagtasan
This is the one I struggled the most as I keep thinking of a word that would fit the context of the game.
Since I can't just take the word "trail + blaze" and word-for-word translate it as that would be clunky. I opted for the other original name in Chinese in the Aeon wiki page.
When I search for the individual meaning of the Chinese characters "开拓" I got was "to open or break". Which tells me nothing.
I, then, thought of looking for other English words that are close to the meaning of Trailblaze. That's where I got the word "Pathfinding" and then google the Tagalog word for it which is "aktas" meaning "to open or to make a new path". Which is perfect and I just chose the other pronunciation of it "agtas" because it's close to the word "bagtas (to traverse)".
Man, I really wish games like this gets a Tagalog translation and I'm not even asking for a dub, just the text like in some other available languages in the game.
