![]() ![]() Luther’s biggest issue with the Book of James was that it appeared to contradict Paul, and it seemed to oppose the doctrine of justification by faith alone, which was a central tenet of the Protestant movement. “ Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” -James 1:27 Perhaps this is why James wrote things like: He even goes so far as to suggest that by serving the poor, we are serving God- and he links our concern for the poor to our salvation (see the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25). Jesus frequently alludes to the importance of caring for the poor. In spite of that, James makes numerous references to Christ’s teaching, and there are places where he likely uses “the Lord” to refer to Christ.Įven without those more overt references, James’ epistle reflects the heart of Jesus. It only mentions him twice in passing, once in James 1:1 (“a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ”) and once in James 2:1 (“believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ”). ![]() If you only looked at direct mentions of Christ by name, Martin Luther is right: the Book of James doesn’t appear to have much to do with Jesus. Since he heard that Christians place great weight on faith in Christ, he thought, ‘Wait a moment! I’ll oppose them and urge works alone.’ This he did.” Does James talk about Christ? I maintain that some Jew wrote it who probably heard about Christian people but never encountered any. Not once does it mention Christ, except at the beginning. “We should throw the epistle of James out of this school, for it doesn’t amount to much. He did, however, suggest it be thrown out of schools: If you have any questions, please review our Privacy Policy or email us at Luther was openly critical of James, and he wondered whether the epistle belonged in our Bibles, but he never formally proposed it should be removed. ![]() You may unsubscribe from these email communications at any time.
![]() ![]() I’m not a practicing anything, I don’t have a book that I have to read. I’ve followed it for as long as I can remember, and that’s just my religion. In a 2005 interview he explained: “Before there was organized religion, there was the moon. He uses it to guide him and is apparently more likely to take on a project if it coincides with a full moon. The moon seems to be a big deal to Neil Young as it turns up in 28 of his songs. ![]() Easy to take each other forgranted once you’ve been together a long, long… time, but listening to this song reminds me that…, well, we really shouldn’t. ![]() Had we not lived in the North of Scotland, I think I might have suggested to Mr WIAA that we go dancin’ where the music’s playin’ tonight, but sadly it’s really cold out there, so a mug of cocoa and a boxset it’ll have to be instead. It was written as a tribute to Neil’s wife Pegi, and seems to celebrate longevity in relationships. Listening to the song Harvest Moon, it is however perfect for a couple like us who have now been married for nearly 26 years. That said, the year 1992 was an incredibly busy one for me, as in a five month period I got engaged, sold my flat, bought a house, organised a wedding and got myself betrothed…, so I probably wasn’t keeping up with any new album releases. I always associate Neil Young with a much earlier time, and although I recognised this song, I had never thought of it as being attached to the 1990s. Something that surprised me when doing a modicum of research for this post was that the album “Harvest Moon” was released in 1992. Instead I just want to listen to the beautiful sound of his voice, those soft brush strokes, and the steel guitars. I do have a couple of Neil Young anecdotes in my back pocket, but I don’t think this is the time or place to share them. (Wonder if the Native Americans also did that by the light of this brilliant Harvest Moon.)īut back to Neil’s wonderful song. I am still hoping for a miracle tomorrow night but not counting my chickens. Fortunately I have no harvesting to be done, because for the second month in a row, there seems to be total cloud cover around the time of the full moon. ![]() Also, due to a highly scientific quirk relating to orbital distances and other complex laws of physics, at the peak of the harvest farmers can work late into the night, as this moon rises at nearly the same time every evening giving them all that extra light. Had it not landed that way, it would have been called the Corn Moon, but no great songs as far as I am aware about corn (unless you know differently), so I’m mighty glad it’s worked out this way.įor the Native Americans, this was the month when corn was supposed to be harvested. This year we reached the equinox, that pivot point in the year after which we can expect more hours of darkness than light in our days, on Sunday the 23rd Sept. Having said that, the Harvest Moon can occur in either September or October, as it’s the name given to the full moon that lands closest to the autumnal equinox. Well, there could really only be one featured song for this month – Neil Young’s Harvest Moon. To accompany the post I always include one of the numerous songs that have been written about the moon and its many foibles. Since discovering that all full moons have a name, given to them by the Native Americans who kept track of the months by the lunar calendar, I have written about each one as they appear in our skies. ![]() ![]() One of the first things they talked about was the other guys they met, who had been deployed from all over the world. Operators from the Special Forces community for hours and hours and hours, and just listened to them. That has been a big part of Medal of Honor since the first days. We wanted to take what was good from 2010, of course, but mostly we wanted to really root this multiplayer in the close relationship with the former and active military personnel that Danger Close has. KB: We started with a very open, or blank, canvas. ![]() How do you define what it is? I know you're not starting from scratch again, but in a sense. It was also interesting to be able to sit in the office, work together with the single player team to really define what Medal of Honor multiplayer is. I mean, we have a lot of guys who's been there since the first Medal of Honor, 14 years ago. I just looked forward to work with the Medal of Honor team. Kristoffer Bergqvist: I think there was a really interesting challenge. Here he explains how he changed the way the team develops multiplayer games, what defines the feel of a game and how to try to achieve that, and how the team kept out of the geopolitical situation this time around, taking a page from EA Sports' book, not CNN's. He was charged with changing the studio's way of making multiplayer games. ![]() ![]() To find out more about this process, Gamasutra sat down with Kristoffer Bergqvist, a DICE veteran from Sweden who moved to Los Angeles to join Danger Close as its creative director of multiplayer. And we've taken steps this year to really bring those two halves together." The new iteration of the franchise does not take this tack, as mentioned by producer Luke Thai in a recent Gamasutra interview: "In 2010, Medal of Honor was also perceived as two separate games in one box. ![]() ![]() Their new range - the Sound Blaster Z series - are cards that promise “the very best listening experience for movies, games and music” according to the promotional blurb. They’re still here and they still hold value for even a modest desk-based PC setup however, and Creative are flying their pro audio flag with as much gusto as they can manage. Whilst most of us older-generation PC users used to look forward to the new bells and whistles that came along with a sound card refresh every year or so, I’d be hard pushed to identify anybody else that’s given a discreet audio card a second thought for the best part of a decade. This is definitely a benefit, as - while scout mode makes your enemies footsteps clearer - it also amplifies your own movement sounds, so you won't want to leave it on most of the time.In the world of on-board audio processing for motherboards, graphics cards and even headsets, it’s no small wonder that companies like Creative are still attempting to cater to a consumer-grade market. You can map the mode to a key combination of your choice, which makes it easy to enable and disable at will. Another gaming-oriented option is Scout Mode, which makes enemy movements more audible, allowing you to pinpoint threats easily. The CrystalVoice settings also include a number of vocal effects that can shift your gender or make you sound like a demon from the abyss, which are an entertaining extra for dedicated role-players, if nothing else. The advantage of the supplied mic - which is designed to perch neatly on top of your monitor - and the advanced ambient mic noise cancellation options is that you can use a pair of high-quality headphones for gaming without having your buying options restricted by the need for a dedicated headset. Also useful for this is the Focus setting, which suppresses sounds originating from anywhere except a specified zone directly in front of the mic - you can adjust how wide this is. These are particularly useful if you use the stand-alone mic that comes with the sound card rather than a headset mic, and effectively minimise the effect of background noise and ambient acoustics. The combinations of Crystalizer and Bass enhancement in particular made many tracks sound boomy and harsh, but they provide effective enhancement for games and movies.Ĭlick to enlarge - The re-branded Pro Studio offers plenty of adjustment options, although not all are worthwhile.ĬrystalVoice gives you a range of effects that apply to the mic input, including noise reduction and echo cancellation. ![]() However, we found that we preferred listening to music with all of these settings disabled. The SBX Pro Studio options - previously branded as THX Tru Studio - lets you control surround sound levels and apply a Crystalizer that's designed to compensate for the dynamic range compression that's applied to a lot of modern studio recordings and bass enhancement. We can take a closer look at the features it provides by going through the many options built into Creative's driver. The SoundCore3D handles almost everything internally, but most CPUs aren't exactly going to buckle under the load of a bit of audio processing so, although the audio processor's definitely a nice bit of kit, the simple fact of its existence isn't compelling reason to buy the card in and of itself. Most sound cards rely heavily on drivers to handle tasks such as audio effects processing, environmental sound within games and virtual surround sound through stereo headphones, which means that your CPU is going to be doing a great deal of the work there. The audio processor is the Z's most immediately obvious advantage over cards from other manufacturers. The sound card's front output has an SNR 116dB and 24-bit/192KHz bitrate and sample rate. The SoundCore3D combines its Quartet Digital Signal Processor (DSP) with a codec (combined DAC and ADC) on a single chip, quoting Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNR) of 102dB for the DAC and 101dB for the ADC. The Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that handles the mic/line input is integrated into the SoundCore3D itself. ![]() ![]() Click to enlarge - The quad-core SoundCore3D chip from last year's Recon3D returns ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() And that's bound to get President Trump very upset indeed. The American movie industry might just be looking nervously over its shoulder at its Chinese cousin after this. “They couldn’t get an environmental impact statement completed to get the wall built,” he said. But if you can suspend your disbelief, The Great Wall is pretty good popcorn-fodder, and at times it's even memorably spectacular. And, you know, one of the things that stopped it was the environmental impact statement. “I don’t know if you know, even Hillary Clinton, I mean, for years they’ve wanted to do it, but they could never get it figured out how to get it done. “You know, for years, they’ve wanted to do it,” he said. And we’re really talking about something … a little more than a thousand miles. And then you look at the Great Wall of China that was built 2,500 years ago. “But you also have natural terrain which is automatically a barrier, which is a good thing. It’s 2,000 miles, but a lot of it - some of it’s done - it’s done poorly by the way, what they’ve done is very poor, very poor work, very poor job, very - not much of a wall,” he said. “You know, interestingly, the wall on the southern border, it’s - really, if you think it’s a thousand miles. ![]() ![]() ![]() Great software for silent practice, but I still can't it to sound as good as some of the tube amps I've had. Keep in mind, you can try any model for 24 hours for free. ![]() So those high gain amps may not be to your tastes. Finally the "German Gain" amp, which is an ENGL powerball model sounds really neat if you're into high gain sound. the Jet city amps are both great but if you've got the SLO-100 don't bother. If you're into metal the Soldano SLO-100 model is good. That's the neumann 87 and the shure 57 obviously. ![]() I mic everything with a condenser 87 or Dynamic 57. I like to apply reverb as a rack effect, and I think the digital reverb comes with the free one. Lead - Vintage Metal Lead - Marshall JPM100 clone I think I don't know which of these are free and which are paid for because I got the software when they sold it with the pack.Ĭlean - American Tube Clean 1 - This is like a fender super reverb sound. ![]() ![]() ![]() I especially like how the girl calls me “Onii-chan.” I’m can’t figure out how to change the girl’s name so I can use the name of whoever I decide to dress her up as, but oh well. Another interesting thing is the unusual locations you can have sex in, like a prison cell (WTF?!), a park (in the middle of the day, no less), a forest (a really thick one), a beach at sunset (romantic as hell) and, my personal favorite, an office building (loli in a business suit, so kawaii!). This game also pays attention to details, such as giving the Miku set green-and-white-striped panties (like Miku canonically wears). I especially like the fact that you don’t have to completely strip the girl to have sex (in fact, you can leave all her clothes on in some cases and just slide her panties half off). ![]() HOLY HELL! I can create my dream loli and fuck her all I want! I wish there was a reverse cowgirl position or other more “advanced” positions, but what’s done is done very well. World War Polygon is a challenging first person shooter that, similar to games like Call of Duty: World War II, makes us relive the horrors of World War. Until now! After I couldn’t creat Noel Vermillion in Custom Girl 3D (there are no guns), I decided to give this game a spin after so long (about a year and a half after the initial download). I downloaded this game and a bunch of add-ons, but ditched it for custom girl 3D… ![]() ![]() ![]() Oracle (and others) highly recommend uninstalling outdated and unsupported versions of Java, because of serious risks due to unresolved security issues. Other vendors have begun to offer zero-cost builds of OpenJDK 8 and 11 that are still receiving security and other upgrades. Oracle released the last zero-cost public update for the legacy version Java 8 LTS in January 2019 for commercial use, although it will otherwise still support Java 8 with public updates for personal use indefinitely. Java 8, 11 and 17 are the current long-term support (LTS) versions. Oracle offers its own HotSpot Java Virtual Machine, however the official reference implementation is the OpenJDK JVM which is free open-source software and used by most developers and is the default JVM for almost all Linux distributions.Īs of October 2021, Java 17 is the latest version. ![]() As of May 2007, in compliance with the specifications of the Java Community Process, Sun had relicensed most of its Java technologies under the GPL-2.0-only license. The original and reference implementation Java compilers, virtual machines, and class libraries were originally released by Sun under proprietary licenses. Java was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems ( which has since been acquired by Oracle) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. As of 2019, Java was one of the most popular programming languages in use according to GitHub, particularly for client–server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers. The Java runtime provides dynamic capabilities (such as reflection and runtime code modification) that are typically not available in traditional compiled languages. The syntax of Java is similar to C and C++, but has fewer low-level facilities than either of them. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying computer architecture. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.
