Shouter Baptists

Ordellia Darlington 00011164 Portfolio Entry IV at the outset, the thought of Shouter Baptist being viewed as a religion was a joke to me. At whatever point, I heard the name Shouter Baptist just a single thing rung a bell â€Å"obeah people†. There were times that I will see them in supplication and I will go across the road. All things considered, the energizing force point video went with different sources has shown me a lot on the religion, the individuals and their rituals.I had consistently expected that all the Shouter Baptists brought to the table was â€Å"catching power† by methods for shaking and talking in tongues. I had accepted that the Shouter Baptists were profoundly had. Notwithstanding, never had I realized that talking tongues is like speaking with God. Proof of this is appeared in the book of Acts. 2:1-8. Talking tongues is one of the blessings of the Holy Spirit alluded to in the Bible. It tends to be portrayed as a wonder during which the adherent communicates in dialects obscure to him/her in his/her regular life.Another angle I never comprehended was the noteworthiness of a portion of the images the Shouter Baptists every now and again use. Images, for example, the chime, lothar, incense and blossoms assume a significant job in the Shouter Baptist confidence. The ringer is utilized toward the start of the support of call individuals to love, toward the finish of the administration or as per profound directions. It is said to stir the believers’ spirits to the nearness of the Holy Spirit. I currently comprehend what is implied by the maxim â€Å"Every time a ringer rings a blessed messenger gets his wings†?The lothar is a vessel utilized in the congregation. It represents the blessed condition of man before God in adore and contains water and blossoms. The blossoms improve the congregation and represent harmony, love and euphoria, which are kept alive by the water of life. Blossoms are God’s craftsmanshi p and are utilized to adorn the raised area, focus post and corners of the congregation. It additionally speak to man’s first territory, the Garden of Eden. What I respect about the Shouter Baptists is their ability to offer back to society.They express gratefulness to God different occasions during the time taking care of the kids in their locale. For Thanksgiving, Shouter Baptists offer thanks to God for his gifts through, full gospel and supplications, singing, applauding and celebrating. The youngsters in the network are given food and tidbits. The Thanksgiving is held after extraordinary events in members’ lives, for example, achievement in an endeavor, or recuperation from a sickness. It likewise perceives God’s mercy.The Shouter Baptist confidence in expressing gratefulness is bolstered by Luke 14: 12-14 (â€Å"Then Jesus said to his host, â€Å"When you give a lunch meeting or supper, don't welcome your companions, your siblings or sisters, your family members, or your rich neighbors; in the event that you do, they may welcome you back thus you will be reimbursed. 13 But when you give a dinner, welcome poor people, the disabled, the weak, the visually impaired, 14â and you will be honored. Despite the fact that they can't reimburse you, you will be reimbursed at the restoration of the honorable. †)

Emptiness in Mahayana Buddhism

Buddhism is an orthopraxy where character originates from actualizing â€Å"correct† conduct, instead of universality where personality is found through â€Å"correct† convictions. Mahayana Buddhism, named â€Å"the Great Way† is basically a dream of what Buddhism is extremely about. Despite the fact that the saturation of Mahayana was innocuous, the status of the sutras was continually contested. From the very beginning of Buddhism, the ideas of Self/not-Self and ward emerging were unmistakable and basic. The Not-Self instructing has been considered by Buddhists to be the extraordinary forward leap of the Buddha, the revelation that hardens his prevalence over other teachers.According over the Buddha, for something to be portrayed as â€Å"Self,† it would not prompt torment, it would need to be perpetual, and furthermore it would comply with the individual of whom it is the Self. If something somehow managed to be a Self, it positively should be controlla ble and helpful for satisfaction; or if nothing else not helpful for anguish. Moreover, in thinking about the presence of a Self, he focuses on that the five conceivable contender for â€Å"Self† (the five totals) in actuality can't be the Self since they don't meet these standards. These five totals (structure, sensation, origination, aura, cognizance) are absolutely not permanent.They could be viewed as comparable to a tornado in that they emerge from specific conditions and conditions and are not extractable from nature in which they happen. Any piece of our psychophysical make-up, whatever can be ordered under one of the five gatherings, can't fit the depiction of a Self and in this way they are for the most part not Self. In light of cases of having discovered a perpetual Self, the Buddha declares that if there is at all a Self, it is just an aftereffect of the meeting up of causal conditions (subordinate start). For this situation, it couldn't be lasting, and subsequent ly couldn't be a Self.Through further investigation and understanding contemplation after the passing of the Buddha, the five totals supposedly was dissolvable into easier components. This kind of examination came to include the psychophysical totals related with creatures, however everything known to man too. These components (dharmas) are unchangeable to any further factors or sources. The Buddhist school of Sarvastivada held an authoritative differentiation between the manner in which dharmas exist as ‘primary existents’ and the way mind boggling substances (optional existents) exist basically as developments of dharmas.The name Sarvastivada itself implies â€Å"the principle that all exist,† and this school presents the thought of the own-reality of the dharma. In any case if a dharma is past, present, or future, it in any case despite everything exists. These dharmas are extreme facts. Essential existents must be the ending purpose of examination, and must n ot emerge conditionally the way individuals, tables, and seats do. Along these lines, auxiliary existents come up short on this natural presence. The Prajnaparamita is the soonest type of writing known to be explicitly Mahayana; paramita meaning flawlessness and prajna meaning wisdom.In Buddhist phrasing, to have prajna is to incorporate an understanding that separates how things really are from how things appear to be. In the abhidharma setting, prajna is utilized to decide the estimation of essential existents (dharmas), which are recognizable from calculated builds. Flawlessness of astuteness (Prajnaparamita) doesn't infer the misleading quality of what had recently been viewed as insight, yet rather its flawlessness. The flawlessness of prajna is the last, appropriate comprehension of the way things genuinely are.Mahayana rationalists felt the idea of the Abhidharma to be excessively objective and efficient. Typically, these sutras are not deliberately philosophical nor do they infer doctrinal adherence. The writings involve clear messages that are shown redundantly and can be viewed as messages that intend to encourage or exhort those in the non-Mahayana world. As we have seen from pre-Mahayana reasoning, auxiliary existents are basically ‘empty’ of essential presence, void of own-reality. In this sense, everything, for example, individuals, sand, grass, the sea, and so forth re void of Self, yet additionally of essential presence. In concurrence with these Abhidharma writings, there then should exist things that without a doubt have essential presence so as to differentiate them to optional existents that are vacant of such a quality. In any case, the Prajnaparamita sutras don't regard this hypothesis. These Mahayana sutras guarantee that totally all things have a similar status as individuals, sand, tables, and so forth since they are for the most part develops that can't be gotten a handle on. They guarantee that everything is vacant, and that everything is reasonable builds coming up short on own-existence.In the eyes of the Mahayana logicians, to guarantee that there is own-reality in a manner that underscores the how fundamental the dharmas are in the Abhidharma appears to be excessively orderly. It makes the dharmas themselves appropriate to become objects of connection. Rather, the dharmas ought to be utilized the manner in which the pontoon was utilized in the anecdote told by the Buddha in the Alagaddupama Sutra. They ought to be utilized as devices that are relinquished after use; they ought not be clung to. Enduring is the aftereffect of connection, so to handle to the dharmas is to infer suffering.One can't get joined to these things on the grounds that to append is to miss illumination. Along these lines, stopping connection includes seeing wellsprings of connection (individuals, for example) as unfilled. One can't evade connection as long as they see a complexity between essential existents and applied ex istents. In the Heart Sutra, the bodhisattva clarifies that in the wake of taking part in profound contemplation on the flawlessness of insight, bodhisattvas completely stir to a condition of complete freedom and impeccable enlightenment.The bodhisattva discloses to the inquisitive Sariputra that the flawlessness of shrewdness includes seeing that the five totals are vacant, just as the dharmas that make up these totals. Dharmas are not central; they are simply learned develops similarly as are individuals and trees. The Sutra shows that all creatures, things, and thoughts, which we experience as â€Å"real†, have no natural presence and this â€Å"reality† is simply a development of the brain. Dharmas, as well, are void and don't ossess the particular attributes that they have recently been related with. Nothing comes to be as an intrinsically existing element, and subsequently nothing can stop. Moreover, nothing is finished or deficient. The bodhisattva explicitly st ates, â€Å"form is void; vacancy is structure. Vacancy isn't other than structure, structure isn't other than void. † This is sensible in such a case that nothing at all naturally exists, things and ideas, for example, â€Å"form† and â€Å"emptiness† are very much the same. Vacancy itself is unfilled in light of the fact that it doesn't inalienably exist.The bodhisattva likewise references the 12 phases of ward beginning and the four honorable realities so as to harden that they also need innate presence and are vacant. Nothing in presence is discrete from anything. The Diamond Sutra talks monotonously about amount of legitimacy. Repeating four lines of this Sutra is outlined again and again, with the message that instructing only four lines to someone else would create a boundless measure of legitimacy. Corresponding to this legitimacy, the sutra puts a solid accentuation on giving without getting connected to any related notion.The best way to accomplish bou ndless legitimacy is to sacrificially give thusly. The Buddha discloses to Subhuti that those on the bodhisattva way ought to have this idea: â€Å"However many living creatures are included in the all out accumulation of living beings†¦I ought to carry every one of them to the last elimination in the domain of annihilation without substrate remaining. † Essentially, the Buddha is focusing on the demonstration of empowering all creatures to arrive at Nirvana-without-leftover portion and, in doing as such, outperforming the pattern of ceaseless passing and rebirth.However, for this to be cultivated, one can't harp on the idea of having helped those creatures. The Buddha proceeds to state that after he has carried every one of them to definite annihilation, no living being has been brought to elimination. That is on the grounds that to give like this uncovers the void of giving. Since these creatures are vacant of Self, while every one of them have been brought to nirvana, simultaneously nobody has been brought to nirvana. The psyche must be liberated from musings of ‘self’ rather than ‘others. ’ There ought to be no recognized â€Å"giver† or â€Å"receiver† or â€Å"gift. Such a demonstration would yield the most noteworthy legitimacy in giving. The finish of the Sutra contains the refrain â€Å"an fantasy, a drop of dew, an air pocket, a fantasy, a lightning’s flash†¦Ã¢â‚¬  so as to demonstrate the pitifulness, or the vacancy, of the world. Like the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra additionally focuses on that ordinary the truth resembles a figment. Confusing expressions like â€Å"what is known as the most noteworthy educating isn't the most elevated teaching† are utilized much of the time to stress that the two thoughts are indivisible in light of the fact that they are both empty.The Buddha endeavors to help Subhuti â€Å"unlearn† the assumptions that he has about the real world and observation. The differentiation among arhats and bodhisattvas is clear; and Subhuti discovers that the bodhisattva’s empathy isn't measurable. The Diamond Sutra attests that there is nothing on the planet that is perpetual, nor is there anything that autonomously exists, in this manner everything is unfilled. An existence without connection implies a quiet life in void. This educating of vacancy was alarming for a few, since it appears to be fundamentally the same as skepticism in the manner that it supports such profound letting go.Nagar

Growing Up

Growing Up Hey you! Yeah, you youre Chris, right? And you just wrote this blog, right? Okay. Now weve got that out of the way, allow me to introduce myself. Im you from July 20, 2016 yeah, about 9 years, or 3000-some days into the future. Pretty cool, huh? Well I guess you know one thing now, you will be alive in 2016 breathing that sigh of relief, I see ;) You see, I wanted to drop in and, you know, tell you a few things about the future that you might want to know, now that the excitement of getting into MIT hasnt totally worn off yet. Whats that? You want to go play Pokemon? What version are you on? Ah, Diamond and Pearl, I see. Psh, stop wasting your time on that stupid game. Let me tell you that in the world that I come from and youll get to experience in the future youd be catching Pokemons in real life. Yup, in real life!! No stop, this doesnt mean you get to quit school since youre going to become a Pokemon trainer youll be catching them on your iPhone. Oh yeah thats right, the iPhone just came out a few months ago for you, huh? Well, heres the latest model if you want to look at it pretty nifty! Before I forget, be smart and grab some Apple stock now youll thank me in 2016 :) So what was I going to say? Oh, you dont know this yet, but youll become a doctor in internal medicine. Your days will be filled with admitting patients, writing notes, and putting in orders in the computer. It might hard to imagine, but one day youll be able to read this CT scan with ease: Hey, it sucks in the beginning, but once you get to supervise interns, it will be pretty cool :) So dont worry too much about the 8.01 test you didnt do so hot on; it doesnt matter a bit in the end! You said how was MIT? You know MIT was a wild rollercoaster ride. As you go on and pass/no record wears off, youll see that this is a place of heartbreaking defeats but at the same time, of exhilirating victories. Even now, nine years later, I havent found quite the same place like it. Youll go on to major in biology and dabble with history on the side. The best classes you take will be the ones that you signed up for on whim, and the best conversations youll have will be those that happen at three in the morning. That reminds me stay up late like youre already doing, since you wont get many opportunities for that in the future. I wake up now at 5:45 AM on most days yeah, dont make that face, I know you want to drop classes that begin before 10 AM if you can. :P Its ok to stay up till 4 AM surfing Wikipedia or finishing that new book that you just started. It wont last, so enjoy it! Go do as many cool things as you can it will be so hard to do them later get on the Charles and go sailing, take pistol for PE, and get your Pirates License while youre at it. You will go on to spend IAPs in Spain and Japan, and try to go on the Cambridge Exchange I know I always regret not having done that. Also, dont worry too much if you feel bored in Boston youll spend all your time after you leave Boston in New York, and trust me, there will be days when you miss being able to look out onto the Charles and having a public transit system that actually has enough space for all its riders. MIT will also be the hardest thing you do you know, as you go on, people will say that med school is bad, internship is bad but there will be nothing quite like MIT. People said intern year after med school is hard, but I realized during intern year, you just have to show up if you show up, you will get through the day. Youll call all the consults, see all the patients, write all the notes, finish your work at the end of the day and go home. MIT is different its a neverending beast. You will wake up covered in sweat 2 days before the final realizing that you still have very little idea on how to tackle a certain problem; you will walk out of lecture having taken a dozen pages of notes and only understanding maybe a dozen lines; you will study for a week and still be rewarded with a B-, which you may feel very relieved about ironically. The kind of training that MIT provides is tough, but its however also very rewarding, as you are constantly being pushed to your limits and dared to go further than you have gone before. Ironically, goal-setting has been something that Ive been striving to do more of since I left without the constant pressure, the onus is on you to stay ahead of the game. Dont take any day for granted its a joy to have so much free time dedicated to learning, and you ought to take advantage of that now. In college, you learn and dont get paid, but one day, youll get paid and not have much time to learn. What else? Lets see I know youre swearing off coffee now, but in a few years, youll be chugging a 16 oz. thermos daily. Yeah, yeah those early mornings in medical school and residency will get to youbut its ok, coffee isnt that bad, after all :) Also, see this picture that you put up on the blog you just wrote? 9 years from now, youll be married to Kathy 10. Youll have a great wedding, and over 1/3 of your guests 34/99 will be MIT graduates (from class of 06 to 15)!! Youll write it in your wedding vows one day shell be the best thing that happened to you at MIT :)

Revolutionary War Letter from a Patriot Free Essays

I began my journey in August under the leadership of the great General Washington after he received news that the French would join us in September. Although I was extraordinarily skeptical at first, I must admit that our former enemies have been vital to this war for independence. However, my dislike for them still holds somewhat true, being as they were always criticizing the not-as-well equipped Americans. We will write a custom essay sample on Revolutionary War: Letter from a Patriot or any similar topic only for you Order Now It seems to me that they were not here to fight for our independence, but that they were here to simply see the British lose part of their empire.I’m grateful for their help, but it irks me knowing that they were not here for the right reasons. Our regiment was stationed next to French General de Rochambeau in Rhode Island. Now I don’t know about you, but I find it quite ironic that I had to be positioned right next to the French. We then marched south in hopes that we would crush the British at Yorktown. During this march, I endured many hardships and had plenty of time to think about myself, the world, and this war. I didn’t have many friends in the army. I manly kept to myself. The French had an easier march than us, being as there always seemed to be sicker and injured people on the American side. We had such a small amount of supplies and almost no one had shoes. Morale was quite low and we had marched a very painful march. However, every night we had parties that sometimes led into the day. On September 1, 1781 we arrived in Philadelphia. I suppose British General Cornwallis was a little busy with the constant French attacks and for a second in this battle, he forgot about us. From what I had heard the French had blocked Cornwallis’s supplies and were preparing to attack. Once we heard the news we immediately celebrated (even though we had not even begun the battle). However, the French did not seem to be as jubilant as the Americans. It was then that I realized that all the French really wanted to do was win the war and go home, but that they did not think this was possible with such an inexperienced army fighting alongside them.Finally, we arrived at Yorktown on September 28. After we arrived, General Washington wasted no time in commanding us to build trenches. Our trenches took a lot of time to build but in the end it was well worth it. Mother, if you hadn’t already heard this, we won the battle! It was an easy defeat thanks to the French. We launched our attacks on October 9 and it ended on October 19. It was a ten day war that could have been merely two or three days long if it hadn’t been for Cornwallis’s tubborn hold. He seemed to be expecting to have reinforcements from General Clinton but, as you guessed they never came. In this battle I earned a newfound respect for the French. They do not always act according to our morals, but they do keep their word. They were a huge part of the Battle of Yorktown and for this, I will forever be grateful. My devotion to the American army has brought on a new sense of pride from within. I have a feeling that this nation will be great someday.

Young Women & Breast Cancer

Question: Discuss about the Young Women Breast Cancer. Answer: Introduction Among young women, breast cancer occurrences are quite common. In the US, less than 5% of breast cancer women patients fall under the age group of 40. Detection of breast cancer is difficult. Generally, in young women the tissues in the breast are denser than in older women. SO, by the time the lump is big enough to be detected it is delayed (Komen, 2001). One of the very effective and first steps taken by medical practitioners is surgery. The idea is to remove the cancer ingrained in the breast tissue so the chances of its revival are erased. However, this also signifies one is left with one breast and an entire life of new adjustments to make. Women, who have gone through mastectomy, which is removal of the breast, affected with cancer finds it very difficult to wear clothing especially innerwear that can hide the fact. One such brand named Queen Zaria, has made a great effort to provide bras customized for women affected with breast cancer. It is the brainchild of Kamya, who is 24, a Commercial Pilot and herself a survivor of breast cancer. When she underwent surgery along with her own discomforts the biggest one was finding a proper bra. So, she started this endeavor to help other women fight post surgery psychological trauma by providing effective and gorgeous lingerie to them (Anonymous) . This report is to ascertain how or what services Queen Zaria will offer, how the brand can use Word of Mouth and move ahead spreading awareness, where digital methods of marketing will lack in such a sector and how using traditional methods of marketing this niche market can be utilized to its maximum. The brand is recently opening in the Melbourne and Auckland market and wants to study the marketing niche to be followed for this area. Services that should be offered by Queen Zaria brand Kamyas Queen Zaria line of breast cancer survivor womens innerwear is essentially comfortable and an elegant range of lingerie. All the pieces are made carefully with thorough research made by team. Neither the lingerie rubs with the scars, but beautifully hides them for a better presentation. The brand believes in empowering women to go beyond any obstacles in life and be the best at what they are good at (Abrahams, 2016). Here are some of the services outlined by the brand that they will offer:- a) Comfort beyond imagination b) Elegancy in style c) Reasonable but chic d) 24 by 7 support e) Quality products Marketing by Word of Mouth Steps taken by Queen Zaria to promote using Word of Mouth are worth mentioning. Such kind of marketing has today attracted a great deal of attention of the consumers (Trusov, 2009). When hundreds of people start talking about your product and service it transforms the fate of the firm. A small silly moment, a warm smile or a comfortable hand shake can even bring a smile in a woman who has just survived breast cancer. Such is the impact of the disease that it gives everyone a near death realization. Hence, the best way to spread awareness about the Queen Zaria lingerie line, Kamya chose Word of Mouth at the point of contact. For building it up she focused on the following areas:- Step 1 Find people The best way is to find people who have survived such cancer type and start placing benefits and features of the product in those communities. So, finding out bloggers, influencers, groups, survivor and people is the first step. Step 2 Discuss topics Start conversations about the disease in related forums and communities. Here one can place offers and advantageous about the product itself. Step 3 Medium Spread the message here that where one will find such products. You can use a bit of digital marketing, email marketing here to spread the news. Simple spreading coupons, handouts or brochures can further help spread the word. Step 4 Joining conversations This is the crucial part where you talk and interact and erase all doubts of the potential customer about the product. Step 5 Track It is important to measure everything people are saying. Based on these feedbacks products can be made better (Sernovitz, 20150. Digital Marketing Backfires A realization, that to spread news about a product like Queen Zaria range of lingerie for breast cancer survivors, digital medium will not help in all its sectors. For example, one very common way of digital marketing is social media. Well, we agree to that. But, thinking from the point of view of the very woman who has recently underwent a surgery showing herself out there in the world will be tormenting. So, one cannot expect a lot of response coming from social media. Another way of using digital marketing is to send push notifications to people having the mobile app for the product, if they have. Well, that would also backfire. People who are into marketing must never ignore the influence of their marketing on the customer's experience (Waxer, 2015) People want to forget unfortunate events like going through cancer treatment. Sending push notifications will be insensitive and a great reminder to them about their disease. No activity that can stir negative emotions in the mind of the cancer survivors must be used for marketing. Digital marketing methods like sharing personal life experiences and how one has been benefitted by the product will also not work out properly due to the sheer privacy of the matter. Sometimes when one expects customers to gain trust certain steps can accidentally raise distrust and discomfort (Cugelman, 2016) New out of the box marketing techniques Queen Zaria wants to make their presence strong in their recently opened outlets in Melbourne and Auckland. The best part about the brand is that it is catering to niche public and not to general one. Hence, one can think of some out of the box ideas. A very common method will be communicating and partnering with the hospitals and clinics where breast cancer surgery is being done. When a patient comes to the hospital with the hope of survival they are easy to go away with the surgery without second thoughts. As it is a matter of their own life. However, no one wants to be physically less than others. If the product is recommended by the hospital along with their treatment package then it gives genuinity, reliability and positivity to the patient. When she loses something she is given something in return. Hence, the brand must make sure the quality of product is 100% at par with the industry standards and then recommend it to the hospital. So, basically giving these cancer surviving women exactly what they need one can do marketing of the product inherently(McBride, 2015) One another way of marketing is traditional method like advertisements, web media or the print media. One can take part in events and forum meets spreading awareness of cancer. And then carefully placing the brand in the visibility of people who came in these events. Remember not everyone out there is willing to disclose that they have undergone a breast removal surgery due to cancer. It is indeed a fun but challenging work (Budge, 2016) Lingerie for women who has survived breast cancer can really act as a boost of confidence. Women always love to look beautiful no matter what happens. It is just the way they think and that can never be changed perhaps. No disease or sickness can bog down the spirit of a woman who wants to do something in her life. So, the best gift that can be given to her is beauty itself. These comfortable, cute and functional bras can lift up their spirits like never before (Wilbur,2015) References Komen, S.
