Billy Carson, a Harvard-certified expert in ancient civilizations and an MIT-trained scholar in neuroscience, has spent decades decoding the mysteries of lost technology, quantum reality, and human optimization. Alongside Elisabeth Carson, a biohacker and neuroscience researcher, they bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science—revealing secrets that could transform your mind, body, and reality. What if the Great Pyramid wasn't just a monument but a powerful energy device designed to amplify human potential? What if ancient civilizations understood frequency, grounding, and longevity in ways modern science is only beginning to grasp? In this episode, the Carsons connect the dots between lost technology, bioenergetics, and conscious relationships, showing how these ancient systems align with the latest research on vibrational healing, mitochondrial energy, and peak performance. They explore how quantum fields influence cellular regeneration, why high-frequency living affects health and relationships, and how suppressed knowledge could redefine the future of wellness. What You'll Learn: • How the Great Pyramid functioned as an energy generator—and how to apply its principles to longevity • The forgotten science of frequency and its effects on health, aging, and vitality • How quantum energy and grounding can optimize mitochondrial function • The connection between biohacking, consciousness, and relationships • Why suppressed ancient knowledge holds the key to true human potential Resources: • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • 4biddenknowledge YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@ForbiddenKnowledge1 • 4biddenknowledge Website – https://www.4biddenknowledge.com/ • Billy Carson Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/4biddenknowledge/?hl=en • Elisabeth Carson Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elisabethicarson/?hl=en • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey's Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Book – Smarter Not Harder: https://daveasprey.com/books • Dave Asprey's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com SPONSORS: Zbiotics | Go to https://zbiotics.com/DAVE for 15% off your first order.

Requiem.Based on a post by FinalStand, in 13 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Once more, our esteemed academic Captain, Dr. Pierre O'Rourke Jean-Georges, led us through a rather confused and unhappy post-game liturgy in honor of; well in support of racial unity, I guessed. It was really hard to tell with the way he would ramble off-point every few minutes. The Football Team was in chairs on the floor of the gym with the Cheer Squad and Student Government. The rest of the student body was squeezed into the bleachers; very cozy.The Special Investigator also spoke briefly to the assembly, asking for our help on the case. The school was also hiring a 'Racial Grievance Counselor' who was, surprise, surprise, Dr. Nubia Franklin Jean-Georges; our Principal's wife. I was kind of curious who was making the school system pony up the money for her services as well as precisely when the 'interview' process had taken place.‘I wonder if she's qualified,' Kaelyne whispered.‘I wonder where they are going to stick her,' Vicky mused.‘Oh, I imagine she is going to get 'stuck' alright,' Mikhail snickered beneath his hand. Oh yeah, she was statuesque, smart, Black and projected complete confidence; right up my youngest triplets' alley.‘Ow,' he play-protested after Kaelyne smacked him.‘I did that for Taliyah,' she declared.‘She'll appreciate that,' I promised.‘I know she will,' Kaelyne smiled at me. After that disastrous Monday, Taliyah had been making steady headway in gaining Kaelyne's forgiveness which showed both her character (it was the right thing to do) and smarts (fear of my Mom).‘So; Alexander, what kind of bathing suit should I wear tomorrow?' Vicky teased our eldest.‘One made out of edible body paint,' he turned and winked. ‘Big Bob is gone all weekend to some Sheriff's convention in Miami, Florida. He goes to it every year.' Alexander being sexy-nice to Vicky was Also a good sign for our upcoming weekend.A withering glance from the Coach stilled our conversation. It was bad enough we were 'disrespecting' Darius' shindig. Our team had gotten their asses handed to them tonight in a game they should have won even without our star Running Back. It was easy to see having his father face criminal charges and loss of employment had shaken up Rashaan.His first outing as Team Captain had been a disaster; and now he had to sit here and listen to the various tributes to the guy he'd failed to replace instead of going anywhere else and getting shit-faced drunk and laid. The prognosis for both were pretty grim too,; what with the law enforcement being extra vigilant and the Cheer Squad being surprisingly inattentive to the Football Team's needs; which he was also getting blamed for.Darius had not only provided his players with victories, he had provided them status and perks as the premier athletes at school with the heritage of multiple highly successful teams being handed to them. Everyone 'looked the other way' because they were on the Football Team. All the girls wanted to be with them. Their parties always had plenty of alcohol and weed. They got good grades with minimal, if any, studying. Life had been good.Rashaan was having a horrific time maintaining that legacy. Not only could he not supply for his team, he couldn't even keep his own house in order. He had gone from 'three' hot-ass bitches (running true to type, the BBCs still refused to believe Taliyah had left him for Mikhail a week ago but now she, Sultana Berry and Randi Leigh Upshaw were openly gone) to none.Sure, they could still get 2nd and 3rd tier 'skanks', but just seeing all that prime booty walking around and knowing it Should be theirs and wasn't really bothered those student-athletes. A further complication was that under Darius, he kept the prime cunt specifically regulated both coming and going. That way the boys didn't have to worry about condoms, pregnancies and STDs.He kept the players clean by keeping the mouths, asses and vaginas they were fucking clean. No player stuck his cock into an unauthorized hole because if you did, Darius would destroy you. The object was to fuck who you wished in a safe hunting ground. Rashaan couldn't keep that level of discipline among either the women, or his own teammates.Rashaan also couldn't keep the booze and weed freely flowing. Darius hadn't shared his drug pipeline and wasn't likely to. Rashaan wasn't even trusted with the names of the entities capable and willing to buy and distribute alcohol to the under 21 crowd, plus Sheriff Big Bob's deputies were on the lookout for such shenanigans; more than happy to slap the cuffs on anyone 'Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor'.As a final blow, his dad was no longer Chief of Police. Sure, he was being promised that ruling would soon be reversed; but for Rashaan, it was yet another blow landing at an unfortunate time. His problems weren't mine, and I had more than enough of my own. He'd have to sink, or swim, on his own.We were released at 10:37 pm; far past the time for any of us to have any fun. The Cheer Squad angled for us as we left the bleachers with Taliyah looking particularly livid. A few football players were making a nuisance of themselves, but I sensed her troubles ran deeper.‘Hey, Betty Jo,' one of our linemen tried to separate out the pale-haired blonde, ‘let's head out and party.' Two more moved to put a wall between my brothers and her.‘I'm tired,' she complained.‘You'll feel better soon,' he promised.‘Without your help,' I grumbled. I wedged between the two, they put their hands on me and then Mikhail and Alexander drove fingers into each of their Solar Plexus. With them temporarily gasping for air, we put a perimeter around the other ladies while I put an arm around Betty Jo's waist.‘Boy,' the athlete hissed, ‘you best let go of this piece of ass.'Betty Jo's eyes flashed from him to me, caught between shame and hunger.‘I'm not a boy, your boy, or anyone, but my parent's boy,' I hardened. ‘I'd appreciate it you never demean Betty Jo like you just did either.'‘Is there a problem?' a White Deputy working his way through the crowd called out.‘This ain't over, Peckerwood,' the lineman snarled under his breath.‘Thanks for the warning, Dumbo,' I mocked him. He had big ears.‘It is Greg, Shithead,' he corrected me angrily.‘Separate; you two,' the Deputy demanded.‘Yes, officer,' I backed off. I had the girl which was the important thing.‘Vlad?' Brandy cuddled up to me as we left the auditorium.‘All's good,' I assured her. ‘Normal threats and insults. Nothing more.'‘Betty Jo; are you okay?' she turned her attention to the woman I was escorting along.‘Oh, I'm okay. Greg wanted to talk with me, but I'm not really interested in him anymore,' and then she smiled over at Alexander.‘He doesn't do it you for anymore?' Brandy teased.‘Who?' Betty Jo pursed her lips.‘Greg; the defensive tackle.'‘Oh him!' she seemed surprise. She was Alondra's cross-racial twin alright. ‘Yeah. He and the other guys just want to push and pump me; it feels so; boring really.'‘Not like Alexander?' Brandy led her along.‘Oh no!' she exulted. ‘Alexander makes me feel all tingly; and he doesn't call me bitch, or whore, or nothing like that,' she tacked on.The crowd was dissipating as we moved into the Parking Lot.Alexander was in the lead with Vicky and Alondra on either side should he need support. Mikhail was slightly detached off to my left, arm around Taliyah, deep in conversation with her. His normal cheerful carelessness was gone, replaced by a serious mein. Kaelyne was behind Alex, with the other cheerleaders spread out between us. At the rear of our clump, herding us along, was; Mom and Jewel; huh?They were chatting amiably, one adult to another, not a teenager to a mother. That worried me for reasons I couldn't pinpoint. A little tug from Brandy reminded me where I was suppose to be paying attention.‘Some of the girls are coming over tonight,' she murmured seductively.‘The only one I want to be with is you,' I frowned.A million mega-lumens-bright smile flashed across Brandy's face.‘Not bored with me?'‘How would that ever even be possible?' I gasped.More pure, unfiltered happiness from my Lady.‘You make me very happy, Vlad,' she snuggled in.‘Ditto, Princess,' I kissed the top of her head.‘Hey,' Betty Jo interrupted. ‘Are you anything like your brother?' (?? because, ya know, we were only identical triplets??)‘We are triplets, Betty Jo,' I instructed. ‘We are identical; in all physical regards.'‘Does that mean your dick is just as big?' she asked with innocent intent.‘Yes,' Brandy confirmed. ‘Yes, it is.'‘Oh; nice,' she smiled at Brandy.‘Betty Jo, why don't we get your stuff and head out?' Brandy suggested. Betty Jo left my side with that smile still on her lips. ‘Will I see you tonight?' Brandy directed my way.‘I'll try,' I grinned.‘Okay,' she winked then off she went to round up the others. Mikhail brushed passed me, going the other way; toward Mom.‘I'll be hanging out with Taliyah tonight, Mom,' he addressed our maternal unit.‘Is there a problem?' she studied him. Jewel was silently observant.‘I'm eighteen, tomorrow isn't a school day and I don't have any chores to do I'm aware of,' he ticked off his salient points.‘Why don't you say 'hello' to Ms. Lafontanté?' Mom was falsely polite.‘Hey, Jewel,' his words were brutally sparse of emotion.‘Hey, Mikhail,' she was somewhat amused.‘Hey, Vlad,' she was a tad more polite toward me.‘Hello, Jewel,' I projected much more civility than my brother. If Mom found it necessary to chat with Jewel, it was worth all our time to be more polite and Mikhail should have known better.‘Jewel, please give me a moment with my youngest,' Mom separated from that imposing young lady and walked five steps away with Mikhail.‘I'm glad we didn't have a misunderstanding last night,' I proffered.‘Why?' Jewel tilted her head and appeared to dissect my every word and move.‘Violence without purpose is beyond wasteful; it is stupid and the product of nonadaptive minds,' I stated.‘I don't recognize the quote,' she smiled after a moment.‘It is a Vladimir original,' I smiled back.‘I think I could have taken you,' she added.I had to think over that for a few seconds myself.‘Is that what you were talking to Mom about; asking to come over to our house and spar?'‘Perhaps; that and a few other things,' she allowed.Mom was coming back. Mikhail was going off with Taliyah. Why? I didn't know.‘Night Ms. Lafontanté,' Mom nodded.‘Good night, Ms. Samsonov. Night Vlad.'‘Night Jewel and; you would have lost,' I affirmed as I turned to leave.There was no reply. Before we split up; I was going back home with Alexander; she was hanging around until Dad finished up and dismissed the other Deputies; Mom gave me a shoulder 'bump'.‘Nice one,' she grinned up at me.‘Huh?'‘With Jewel.'‘She thought she could take me with a rattan practice weapon and I thought to dissuade her of that delusion,' I explained. It was the truth after all.‘Girls like Jewel; don't take 'no', or 'you can't do that' for an answer, Vlad,' she enlightened me.‘Even when it is the truth?'‘Especially if it is the truth,' she smirked. ‘Girls like Jewel want to change the World, not accept anyone's assignment for them in it.'‘Well; she is Mikhail's problem, not mine. He's hot for her. I'm perfectly happy with Brandy.'If only that was the way the World worked;Cheer Squad (12 Girls: 4 Black, 6 White and 2 Mixed)The Black girls were;·         Sultana Berry (Very Light fawn complexion).·         Vantrice Kirby (Very Dark umber complexion), (hair dyed florescent red-black striped, shoulder-length hair).·         Alondra Lamb (Very Light tawny complexion).·         Taliyah Malik; the Co-Captain.The White girls were;·         Brandy Crystal Carson is Co-Captain.·         Amber Lee Huffington, (Brunette hair).·         Mia Ryker, (blonde hair).·         Misty Dawn Sizemore, (Russet hair).·         Betty Jo Starling, (Blonde hair).·         Randi Leigh Upshaw, (Brunette hair).The mixed girls were;·         Le 'Pearl' Yates; (Raven-haired, half-Vietnamese/half-Black·         Noémie Lucie Desdunes (Creole) Zulu Princess Posse·         Jewel 'C. S.' Lafontanté·         Dana Owens·         Régine Hunt·         Maxine Shaw·         Shayla Karen White·         Sunny Cobb·         Lana Michelle Moore (the token white girl)Saturday: The Flashpoint.Note:  currently, Vlad is dating Brandy Crystal Carson {the Sheriff's daughter} and Mikhail is dating Taliyah Malik {the Madam Mayor's daughter} while Alexander remains somewhat unattached.)I wasn't able to make it to the Carson household Friday night, though I did learn about the reason Mikhail did: Thursday night the Malik family had begun to implode. Mamma Malik had gone to a separate bedroom; and locked the door. Papa Malik hadn't taken that well, deciding to bury himself in alcohol as an appropriate response. That had been Taliyah's Friday morning. A series of late-afternoon blistering communication exchanges with her parents hadn't helped much.I resolved to make it up to Brandy by going over early ~as in 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, early; and waking her with kisses. She'd told me the passkey for the home's security system (and 'yes', it had been changed after she dumped Darius for me, just in case).I got there; and the Living Room looked like it needed more than a little cleaning. Pizza boxes and soda cans were strewn about the place. Apparently, Brandy and company hadn't gone straight to bed last night..From what I'd already been told, she had Taliyah (Malik), Noémie Lucie Desdunes, Amber Lee Huffington, Alondra Lamb, Misty Dawn Sizemore and Betty Jo Sterling already here. The other five members of the Cheer Squad would be arriving later this morning and all were planning on spending tonight (Saturday night).Noémie Lucie, Amber Lee and Misty Dawn were strong supporters of the Brandy and Taliyah co-captaincy of the Cheer Squad, so that explained their presence. Alondra and Betty Jo were here out of worry the members of the Football Team might try to 'kidnap' them, once they were off school grounds: so safety measures had been taken.With Robert 'Big Bob' Carson, the County Sheriff, away for the weekend at a Law Enforcement convention in Miami, Florida, he had wisely deposited at least one Samsonov guarding his northwestern Arkansas home last night. Surprisingly, Mikhail had sensed Taliyah's soul-hurt about the situation and wanted to be there for her. He'd put his burgeoning playboy tendencies aside when she really need him. His transformation last night had surprised both me and, to some degree, my Mom, Gayle Fonteneau Samsonov.No one was awake in the house yet. From the rich aroma wafting from the Kitchen, I could tell the automatic coffeemaker had already prepared a full pot and was keeping it warm. I dropped my book bag; sans books, but with a change of clothes, two swimsuits and a few other 'gifts from Mom'; by the sofa first, then began transferring plates and glasses from the Living Room to the dishwasher in the Kitchen. I thought I heard someone out on the front porch.No one knocked, so I finished the trip to the kitchen. I was on the way back when I was pretty sure I heard someone trying to get in; with no luck. You had to be a pretty stupid thief to try and break into the County's chief Law Dog's domicile, even if he was currently out of town. Then there were the four cars and two electric-blue with yellow lightning bolts KTM 690 Enduro R's motorbikes (mine and Mikhail's) in the driveway and front lawn for Pete's sake. It wasn't like the house looked deserted.Seeking the Carsons.Someone rang the doorbell. I wasn't sure how to take that. A quick double-check revealed the door had a spy hole and there was a security screen further into the room. I made use of the spy hole since it was closer. The object on the other side was the best disguised house burglar I'd ever seen, or heard about. I opened up the door, a sappy smile plastered to my slightly flushed face. At the last second I thought to shove my hard-on to the side in a doomed attempt to make it less obvious.‘Hello, how may I help you?' I greeted the gorgeous, mature, platinum-blonde feminine bombshell standing before me.‘Do the Carson's still live here?' she appeared distressed.‘Oh, yes Ma'am,' I bobbled my head. ‘Hi. I'm Vladimir Samsonov. The owner is out right now and I'm here for a party being thrown by his daughter, my girlfriend, Brandy.'Her face transformed from confusion and worry to secret amusement.‘It is a pleasure to meet you, Vladimir,' she put forth her hand. I gladly took this elegant, graciously offered extension of her luscious form. I ended up kissing her knuckles instead of shaking it as I understood that was the Southern Gentlemanly thing to do to a lady. Her eyes twinkled as she added, ‘I'm Jodi May Memphis Carson; Brandy's my daughter.'My heart caught in my throat. From what little I knew, a few months back, Brandy's Mom had run off with the previous Senior Deputy; Big Bob's #2 Man; a Black 'gentleman'; and Big Bob was still pissed about it. I'd never broached the subject with Brandy.So, how upset was Big Bob? Well, I hadn't recognized his gorgeous wife because Big Bob had taken all pictures of her down around the place and Brandy never talked about her. That was a pity because she was an absolute beauty. Her name and history would definitely explain the luggage she had with her too.No car was in evidence which suggested she'd arrived via hitchhiking, or taxi. There was no one outside expecting money, or checking to see if she was okay;‘Please,' I stepped aside. ‘Come on in. Don't worry about your luggage. I'll get it.'‘Thank you,' she stepped inside. ‘That is very gentlemanly of you.' Points for me!With two over-stuffed dress bags, two large suitcases and a roll-on, I definitely felt overburdened, and I was certainly getting my weight training in for this morning, but following Mrs. Carson into the house made all but one of my physical aches go away. I was certain she was talking to me.What she actually said; I had no idea. She had on this contour-hugging, pale lavender skirt and a white, nearly-transparent imitation Peasant blouse with a black mesh bra underneath. This was above unadorned, creamy-tanned calves and white, open-toed heels (4 inches maybe?). Her finger- and toe-nails were a dazzling, pale pink to accent the ensemble.With the way her hips rolled when she walked, each step made her firm ass bounce just a tad which also just happened to accentuate the luscious lines of those exquisite calves and thighs (what I could see of them). Her hair boiled down to her mid-back like a wild torrent of molten gold. I swear to God, I had this unnatural impulse to push her over the back of the sofa and fuck the ever-living soul out of her.‘Vladimir? Vlad?' Jodi May addressed me. Apparently she'd been asking me one, or more, questions while I had been daydreaming. She'd stopped and twisted at the hip so she could look at me. Her salacious twist of the lips and carnivorous eyes told me she knew exactly why I hadn't answered her and where my mind had wandered off to.‘I; I apologize, Mrs. Carson.'‘Call me Jodi May,' she purred.‘Wha-ha, Yes Ma'am!' I nodded vigorously.‘I was asking I thought Brandy was dating Darius Pope. What happened to him?'Ice flushed thru my veins and my brain re-engaged. She'd known about Brandy and Darius; to some degree anyway; and she'd run off with a Big Black Cock-Monster herself. As a mature woman, she was a 10+, but as a Mother, in my book, she wasn't rating so high all of a sudden.‘So you were aware Darius Pope treated your daughter like a cum dumpster?' my countenance hardened. ‘She was handed about the team for all of them to use?'I could see it in her eyes; the comprehension; the denial; the creation of some fantasy which allowed her to carry on with the illusion she'd done no wrong.‘All White men think that way,' she settled on an imperious frown. ‘Darius loves my daughter.'‘And he's got the copious amount of humiliating footage to prove me right too,' I glared. ‘Or would have had if my family not intervened. Now Brandy has someone who truly loves her and wants to protect her from predators who would treat her as nothing more than three nameless orifices, a smoking hot body and a pretty face.'‘As it currently stands, it turns out Darius pissed off one too many folks and somebody decided to beat the ever-living crap out of him and six of his boys; all at the same time. Darius ended up crippled, maybe for life. He is currently hospitalized, undergoing reconstructive surgery on both his knees; in Little Rock. That doesn't matter because by the time Darius got his, I'd already convinced Brandy she was better off with me and she's stuck with me ever since,' I concluded.‘Poor Darius,' Memphis grew all concerned, nostalgic and misty-eyed. Yep, Darius had fucked Brandy's Mom as well. A quick information rewind had me recalling this convention of Big Bob's was a 'yearly thing', making the return of his runaway wife to his stoop rather conveniently timed.‘Where do I put your bags?'That brought her back to the here-and-now and looking at me, not through me.‘I imagine the Master Suite might be a tad inappropriate,' I stated factually.‘Young man,' she studied me, ‘this is still my house and I'll hang my clothes were I wish.'‘Absolutely, Mrs. Carson,' I nodded. ‘It is just placing them in the Master Bedroom comes with a complementary call to your husband; in Miami; while doing so in the Guest Room, the one at the other end of the house (because this house had Three), comes with some forbearance. By all means; decide away. After all; it is your house.'‘How do you think Brandy will feel about you threating her Mamma this way?' she pouted remarkably like her daughter.‘She won't give a damn,' I gave back nothing.‘My daughter and I had a better understanding of; things,' she turned all hurt and aggrieved. 'Things' like Mamma's infidelity and running off with a Black stud; because Brandy was lying to her father about getting some of her own at school.‘Things a White boy wouldn't understand,' she dug in her claws.‘Possibly,' I shrugged. Her shit was getting heavy. ‘I'd appreciate it if you would make your decision now. I was planning on cleaning up down here before waking Brandy with a few 'good morning' kisses. I can top that off with the knowledge you are here as well.'‘Put my things in the; far; Guest Room,' she motioned in the proper direction with a head toss. ‘I'll wake my daughter. I'm sure she has missed me.'‘Good choice,' I nodded. ‘Here is a piece of unsolicited advice. Your family hasn't picked up an automotive fetish in your absence; your daughter has friends over for the weekend, so making a commotion might by; unfortunate.'My information perplexed her.‘She is probably alone,' Mamma Carson hazarded.‘Unlikely. Taliyah was pretty upset last night so I'm willing to bet they crashed out with my brother; in the Master Suite while the five others are in the Game Room making use of the three sofas, sleeping bags and bear skin rug,' I hypothesized right back.‘Brother?' she worked out from all that information.‘Please come along with me while I explain,' and off I went. Reluctantly, the delinquent Mamma followed. Mind you, the far Guest Room was hardly a hardship being 12'x18' with a queen-sized canopy bed, walk-in closet and 72' wall-mounted TV. The counter-top space was minimal and the bathroom was down the hall, but since this wasn't the sleep-occupancy part of the dwelling, it was pretty much hers alone.‘As I said 'I'm Vladimir Samsonov'. My Mom and Dad are Gayle and Nicolay Samsonov. He is the new Senior Deputy and has over two decades of experience with the Alaska Highway Patrol and a legacy of law enforcement going back hundreds of years.'‘Of greater importance to you, no doubt, is that my Mom is Gayle Fonteneau Samsonov, heir to the Fonteneau fortune and estate; which is what brought us to town; my Great-Aunt Matilda's death and her Willing us the whole deal,' I gave Jodi May Memphis the 4-1-1.‘Oh,' she pursed her lips. ‘How is the 'town' handling this?'‘What?'‘The return of Gayle Fonteneau?' she inquired. She was in the closet, hanging up what she needed to while I was in the room, ass resting on the bed.‘Why do you think they would be upset?'‘Let's just say Gayle and her crazy brother didn't leave Kingston on the best of terms,' she evaded.‘I already know about my Mom's rape and the town's denial. I know my Uncle Theo went into Kingston, found four of those bastards and beat them so badly none ever fully recovered. I know the Mayor and Great-Aunt Matilda struck a bargain so that Uncle Theo stayed out of jail. I know the Mayor has passed-on, as has my Great-Aunt. I know my Mother hasn't forgotten, or forgiven, a damn thing.'‘I'm sure Mayor Fox and Chief Quinterre are less than impressed,' she smiled at me. She knew the score. This was BBC Country.‘Chief Quinterre is no longer Chief. He lost his job last Thursday night; for molesting my Mom, having one of his buddies molest your daughter, and being caught at it by an Arkansas State Investigator. My Mom is supporting Mayor Fox's bid for the State Senate seat while Chinedu Malik is in the dog house for his philandering ways.'‘That's; something,' she muttered.‘Oh, and the previous High School Principal is no more. He attempted to put his hands on my Mother, so she put him in Intensive Care; including ripping his dick off,' I kept chatting. By the flashing of Memphis' big baby blues; that was another BBC she'd be missing. Sadly, I was no longer surprised.‘The new guy; well, you'd have to meet him to believe him. He's a treat.'‘How so?'‘How to describe him; He's a college-marinated, proudly bi-sexual, agnostic, married-to-a-freaking-Goddess, beefy, Black Canadian-Haitian-American Fruit Loop.'‘Huh?'‘I stand by my assessment,' I grinned. ‘Let me go get Brandy,' I headed for the door.‘Vladimir, Vlad, ah; is Brandy; okay?' Jodi May worried.‘I do my utmost to make her happy; and I; well, I'll let you talk with her and decide for yourself,' and then I left.I worried about what I was going to say when I found Brandy. As I had surmised, she was upstairs, in the Master Suite, on her Daddy's bed,

On January 12, 1983, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department received a call from a frantic driver who reported they'd just witnessed a shooting on the side of the side of the road in Fulton, California and the shooters had fled the scene a pickup truck. Deputies quickly located the truck and were led on a forty-five minute high-speed chase through Sonoma and Napa counties before finally being apprehended and identified as Michael and Suzan Carson.The Carsons were held on a charge of murdering the truck's original owner, Jon Charles Hellyar, but they refused to say a word to police. In time, however, Michael and Suzan Carson began to talk and eventually held a press conference during which they revealed a great deal about themselves and even went so far as to make ambiguous confessions to other recent murders in Northern California. In the months that followed their arrest, Michael and Suzan Carson reveled in their notoriety and the media attention their statements captured. In addition to the murder of Hellyar, they would also be convicted of two other murders, claiming themselves to be Muslim warriors on a mission to rid the world of witches and other practitioners of dark magic, earning them the nickname “The San Francisco Witch Killers.”Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1983.

In 2012, D.A. Carson published his book, The Intolerance of Tolerance. Around the time his book released, he spoke on the subject at a conference I attended; I remember thinking that his book was timely and potentially prophetic, but none of us could have fully appreciated the gravity of what was coming. The following quote from Carsons book illustrates exactly what I mean: Neither the old tolerance nor the new is an intellectual position; rather, each is a social response. The old tolerance is the willingness to put up with, allow, or endure people and ideas with whom we disagree; in its purest form, the new tolerance is the social commitment to treat all ideas and people as equally right, save for those people who disagree with this view of tolerance. Advocates of the new tolerance sacrifice wisdom and principle in support of just one supreme good: upholding their view of tolerance. So those who uphold and practice the older tolerance, enmeshed as they inevitably are in some value system, are written off as intolerant. Thus banished, they no longer deserve a place at the table.[1] I would suggest that the older tolerance allowed space to disagree charitably with those who did not share your point of view. Not only are those of the older tolerance banished from a place at the table. Today, we find ourselves in a very interesting state of affairs in that if your ideology does not line up with that of the loudest and most vocal of ideological voices regarding sex, identity, what it means to be human, and what must be tolerated, you will be diagnosed with a certain phobia and placed into the category of mental illness. So, before we get into Ephesians this morning, I thought it would be fun it first define the word Phobia and then consider some phobias that do actually exist to better appreciate Ephesians 5:11-14. So, what is a phobia? According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIH), a phobia is a intense, irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. Furthermore, NIH affirms that, Although adults with phobias may realize that these fears are irrational, even thinking about facing the feared object or situation brings on severe anxiety symptoms. According to Wikipedia, a phobia is, an anxiety disorder, defined by an irrational, unrealistic, persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. The definition that Merriam-Webster still provides for phobia is, an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation. So, permit me to list a few common phobias and then share with you some other phobias that are not as common. Acrophobia: An intense fear of heights. Claustrophobia: An intense fear of confined spaces. Arachnophobia: An intense fear of spiders. Entomophobia: An intense fear of insects. Here is a list of phobias that you may not have heard of before: Arachibutyrophobia: An intense fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. Nomophobia: An intense fear of being without your mobile phone. Plutophobia: An intense fear of money. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (a 36-letter word): An intense fear of long words. Taking a stance against something is not necessarily due to a phobia but possibly a moral conviction. A legitimate question that must be answered is from what standard does your moral conviction come? Does it come from culture, or does it come from something that transcends culture? For the Christian, our moral standard is not culture but the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as our cornerstone. Here is how the apostle Paul explained what standard we use to judge what is good or evil, it is Ephesians 2:19-22, So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of Gods household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. Jesus, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords and serves as the cornerstone of His Church, gave those who make up His Church this command, Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age (Matt. 28:19-20). The prophets and the apostles are the foundation of Jesus Church, and it is the prophets and the apostles whose teachings make up the Bible as the Word of God. The Bible is, ...inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17). If we are going follow Jesus and live as though the Bible is the Word of God, we will be labeled by those still in darkness as phobic and intolerant. As a people who, were once darkness, but now... light in the Lord we live for what God loves and we stand against what God hates. Listen, if we are going to try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord (v. 10), we will be compelled to live counter-cultural in a world that calls evil good, and good evil. As children of light we belong to the God who condemns any culture that calls evil good, and good evil: Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight (Isa. 5:20)! We Expose the Darkness by Not Participating in It Now we come to Ephesians 5:11 where we are commanded to avoid all participation in the useless deeds of darkness. What does that mean? The NIV translates verse 11 this way: Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. The NKJV gets closer to the heart of what Paul is communicating: And have no fellowshipwith the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. The word used for participate (synkoinōneō) does not mean fellowship in the Greek, but it does mean share. It is a Greek word that is also used in Philippians 4:14, Nevertheless, you have done well to share [synkoinōneō] with me in my difficulty. To share in something is to have fellowship with it. What are the useless deeds of darkness? Well, they include but are not limited to sexual immorality, impurity, greed, filthiness, foolish talk, and vulgar joking. The useless deeds of darkness is what we were once slaves to before we were made alive with Christ when we, lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath (Eph. 2:3). The useless deeds of darkness is what the apostle John described in 1 John 2:16, For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. You may recall how the holiness of God is used to the third degree unlike any other attribute of God mentioned in the Bible. Day and night the seraphim do not cease to call out to one another, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come (Rev. 4:8). I pointed out how this is a literary devise used in the ancient languages to emphasis a very important point. There is another literary devise I told you about when we began this series in Ephesians, which comes in the form of repeated words or phrases; one such phrase that is repeated over and over again in Ephesians are the phrases in Christ, in the Lord, in Christ Jesus, and in Him; collectively they are used about 33 times. If you are a Christian, your identity and life is in Christ. Pauls description of the Christian as being in Christ is a phrase that is equivalent to remaining in Jesus; here is what Jesus said about remaining in Him: I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me (John 15:1-4). Sinclair Ferguson said this about what it means to be in the Lord: To be in the Lord is to belong to a new world, to inhabit a new kingdom in which we become new men and women. In this new kingdom, new powers are at work in us the powers of the Spirit of the crucified, risen, ascended, reigning and returning Christ. Once we were in the darkness. Worse, the darkness was in us we were darkness. Now we have been drawn into the light, illuminated by Christ the Light of the world. More, we have been invaded and transformed by Christ the Light. In the Lord we are light![2] So, if we are now children of light because of our redemption and union with Jesus, why in the world would we want to have fellowship with or share in the useless deeds of darkness? Not only are we not to participate in the useless deeds of darkness but we are to expose them. What does Paul mean that we are to expose the useless deeds of darkness? Well, it is clear Paul is not telling us to avoid the world, for that would go against the way he lived his life and much of what is written in the both the Old Testament and New Testament. The design and plan for Gods people was always to be on mission by entering into the darkness as His instrument to light up the darkness. Israel was saved from Egypt to be Gods kingdom of priests to be His light in a dark world: Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (Exod. 19:5-6). Israels great failure was that they repeatedly and continually and habitually as a nation, participated in the fruitless deeds of darkness when by their mere existence should have exposed the emptiness and uselessness of sin. Israels problem was a heart problem only Jesus is able to fix. Jesus is Gods Yes to the promise of Deuteronomy 30:6, The Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul, so that you may live. Jesus is Gods answer to Ezekiel 36:26, Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. You, Christian, are the recipient of such promises through and in Jesus, so why would you even want to have fellowship, share, and remain in the fruitless deeds of darkness that rob you of the kind of life you were designed to have in God? Not only are the deeds of darkness fruitless, but the wrath of a holy God is set against such deeds! This is why Paul wrote concerning those who continue to practice sexual immorality, impurity, and greed (5:3), for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret (v. 12). Our Life in Christ Exposes the Uselessness of the Deeds of Darkness The only hope for lost humanity is Jesus! He is the only solution for our sin problem. Only through the life of Jesus and the death that He died for sinners can the spiritually dead be raised to new life. Sinclair Ferguson is spot on in his description of what happened when the Christian was saved from the wrath of God: We have been invaded and transformed by Christ the Light. Now as those who are alive with Christ, we carry the light of Jesus into the darkness of the world, this is why Jesus said, You are the light of the world.... Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven (Matt. 5:14, 16). So what happens when light invades a dark room? It exposes what is in the room. One of two things will happen when light exposes what is in the darkness, it will anger those who love the darkness, or it will reveal a better way to those tired and wearied by the darkness. To expose the darkness in the context of Ephesians is to contrast the living against the dead. It is not picket signs on the corner, bumper stickers, or hats that protest the darkness. It is what happens when light pierces the darkness of sins domain. The light of Christ displayed in and through His people reveals to those in the darkness that there is a better way because Jesus is the only way to experience the kind of redemption of our souls and the forgiveness of all our sins that will grant us true salvation and freedom (1:7).Many will reject Christ as the only remedy for our salvation as intolerant and they will run to the darkness, but there will be some whose sin will be exposed by the light of Christ, and they will run to Him for the life only He can give. This is the point Paul makes in verse 13, But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. I think the New Living Translation translates this verse in less confusing way: But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, for the light makes everything visible. Legislation and laws are good only in that it helps to suppress the evil we humans are capable of, but it can never fix the evil we are capable of. If you are darkness, you will yield the useless fruits of darkness to one degree or another. Only the gospel of Jesus Christ can remedy the dark heart of humanity! The gospel of Jesus Christ alone, is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Rom. 1:16). Christian, you are living proof that the same power that raised Jesus from the grave is still possible today! You serve as a reminder everywhere you go that either the wrath of God can be avoided through Jesus, or the wrath of God is coming upon those who reject Him (see 2 Cor. 2:14-16). We who were asleep and dead in our sins, are only alive because the light of Christ has shown upon us. It is here in verse 14 that Paul quotes what was most likely an early church hymn composed on the basis of Isaiah 60:1-2 and Christ as the fulfillment of its promise: Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you. Here is what Isaiah 60:1-2 promises: Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you. Here is another one for those who reject Jesus as God! Only Yahweh has the power to redeem and raise the dead, yet Jesus has done in your life what only God is capable of doing. We who were once dead, heard the voice of Christ, and we arose to follow Him and now we live! We who once enjoyed the darkness, delight in walking in light as those who now belong to the One who said, I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life (John 8:12). Pursing Jesus is the only way to fight against our own sin and the temptation to participate in the useless deeds of darkness. Amen. [1] D.A.

The Call to Active Servanthood Past the Age of 50 | IGROW | The Whites and The Carsons

Today's guest is most known for his unmatched skill and style when it comes to park riding, his originality is so refreshing in today's age of repetitive trick combos. It's clear he takes a lot of influence from freestyle motocross with his flip combinations, but he also embodies the Midschool era with more simple tricks like tables, turndowns to fakie, and superman over double coping spines. He represents Canadian BMX so well with his positive attitude, and genuine care for the BMX community. There's no doubt in my mind, Carson Donovan will make his mark on the Canadian BMX scene, and put himself in the ranks of Jay Miron, Dave Osato, and Drew Bezanson.Chapters 0:00-Intro, stunt shows,6:34- Swampfest, Darkfest, Freestyle MTB is insane. 17:18- Untied Caveman v3 coming soon, Carsons open mind when it comes to different styles of riding20:48- "What's your dream Swampfest obstacle idea?" and other Swampfest stories, 30:54-Timeless BMX, The Nelson BMX Jams, and the western Canada BMX scene36:18- The death of indoor parks 50:23- The modern park rider vs Carsons style, flip cliff hangers,57:52- Desert skate ranch, riding Pat Casey's house1:05:52- Triple challenge, and Carson's Dream trick1:12:27- Carson's background in motocross and BMX racing 1:18:06- Carson explains the “Hairy Larry”, we talk Dave Osato, and more 1:26:05- Carson's bmx photography, camera talk1:37:03- Jason Enns is one of the best to ever do it1:39:05- What does the Canadian BMX scene do really well?

Two non-student individuals involved in a physical altercation with a McEachern student were shot by Foor, who witnessed the altercation. Another unidentified suspect also brandished a firearm but did not cause further injuries. The motive is under investigation, and it appears to be a targeted incident. The victims, believed to be former students, suffered superficial gunshot wounds. While Foor is in custody, the search continues for the second shooter. Authorities assure the safety of McEachern students, with increased police presence and counseling available. The investigation remains active. Witnesses or those with information are urged to contact Cobb Police.

Taylor faces charges including felony murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery, possession of a firearm during a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The incident occurred Saturday morning, with police responding to a "person shot" call. Fejzic was found in the bakery parking lot, unconscious and suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite efforts to revive him, Fejzic was pronounced dead at the scene. Lawrenceville police believe no other suspects are involved and urge anyone with information to contact them.

Bryan Adams is coming to Gwinnett County in June and he's bringing Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.For more on this story please listen to the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast. Adams' tour in support of his 15th studio album — “So Happy It Hurts” — makes a stop at the Gas South Arena on June 18. The 26-city tour, which starts June 6 in Baltimore. Adams announced the 2023 So Happy It Hurts Tour on Tuesday night's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." Adams is famous for songs like “Summer of ‘69”, “Everything  I Do” , “Heaven”, and more. Joan Jett's hits include “I Love Rock n Roll” and “I hate myself for loving you.” Tickets go on sale starting today at noon on ticketmaster.com. Andy Maughon may have retired from nearly five decades of fixing automobiles, but he's planning to stay more than active. Maughon, who for the past 27 years has owned and operated Andy's Muffler & Lube on Scenic Highway in Snellville, closed the business on January 31, selling the property where his shop was located. He said he may find a part-time job to “keep from going insane,” and that he is a hunter and fisher, and that he and his wife do enjoy horseback riding. When asked why he decided to retire now, Maughon said, “It's time. I'm tired and I can't get any help, so it's just time. I've got two (employees) working for me now and I used to have eight.” It's likely that the Monroe native, who now lives in the Oglethorpe County town of Arnoldsville, will also continue his hobby of racing. When he opened his shop in 1995, Maughon and his wife were featured in the Gwinnett Daily Post for their racing prowess. When the COVID pandemic kept families close to home, Loganville resident Michael A. Carson and his son Matthew decided to team up on a writing project that resulted in the publication of two books — one about the origins of Black History Month and the other about notable African-American jazz figures through history. Although the Carsons are no longer stuck inside, their collaboration continued with a new book, “Unsung African-American History Makers: Unknown Hidden Figures And Their Stories,” which was released on New Year's Day. Carson said that it was his son — who just celebrated his 13th birthday — who came up with the idea for their latest book. Although the father-son team has thus far proven quite prolific, Carson said they don't have a firm idea on their next book — or if there will be a next book. Their process is usually started when they hear of something that they both think might make a good book. As of now, they don't have anything currently in mind. Carson also said the best part of this whole process is the familial connection that he and his son have made.   Students from South Gwinnett High School brought home a national championship in late January after winning the SuitUp Capgemini business competition. The competition took place in four cities — New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago and Atlanta — with the winning team from each region advancing to compete nationally. South Gwinnett represented the Atlanta market. The teams participating in the competition hosted by SuitUp (an educational nonprofit that seeks to increase career readiness for young people through business plan competitions) assumed the role of CEO for Capgemini, designing the prototype for a teen-friendly app focused on financial literacy. Each student was recognized with a certificate and a cash prize. A dozen families were displaced by a fire at a Norcross-area apartment complex on Tuesday. Gwinnett County firefighters were called to the Terra at Norcross Apartments complex, at 10:12 a.m., on a report that smoke was coming from a water heater closet. A plumber later told fire officials that he had noticed smoke in a water heater closet while he was working on pipes in the closet and used pull stations to make occupants aware of the fire. Crews arrived three minutes after they were called and found a two-story, multi-unit building on fire and deployed four hose lines to battle the flames. They also used two hydrants which were located in the apartment complex. The cause of the fire is still being investigated by fire department officials. One adult male did sustain a minor injury during the fire, but he was treated by medical crews and released at the scene. Twelve families were displaced by the fire and the complex's management is working with them to get them a place to stay while repairs are made. The Knight History Essay Contest, established by the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in honor of George S. and Stella M. Knight, is designed to provide high school students an opportunity to probe the major events of American history. Bolstered by research conducted by the student-writer, essays — ranging in word county from 800 to 1,200 — must be original with topics based on an event, person, philosophy or ideal associated with the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence or the framing of the U.S. Constitution. Students from the ninth through 12th grade submit their essays at the chapter and state levels to be considered for the national contest. Macayla Hutsler, a home-schooled 11th grade student from Gwinnett, is the recipient of the Lawrenceville-based Button Gwinnett Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution's essay contest award for 2022-23. Hutsler also won the state award, which was presented in late January at the Georgia Society, Sons of the American Revolution in Duluth. Hutsler's essay was entitled “Caesar Rodney: A Patriot Worth Remembering.” One of America's founding fathers, Rodney, who was born and died in Delaware, provided the tiebreaking vote that made the Declaration of Independence unanimous after Pennsylvania and South Carolina also voted for independence.

Utropstecknet kan både signalera ilska och glädje. Kulturskribenten Kristina Lindquist berättar utifrån egna erfarenheter om hur det också kan representera något mycket större än så. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad den 14 maj 2019.det väller liksom framen flod av grönska,av blad barroch fågelsång!Se där en talande rad ur Eva-Stina Byggmästars diktsamling ”Barrskogarnas barn” från 2014. I Byggmästars skogar finns inga skuggor, bara en yster och naivistisk naturlyrik från första till sista sidan – och just det: en massa utropstecken. ”Får poesi verkligen se ut såhär? Så uppsluppen!” skrev Svenska dagbladets kritiker Therese Eriksson i sin recension. För utropstecknet är ganska sällsynt i den kulturella offentligheten, och något av ett svart får i skriftspråket överhuvudtaget. Ända sedan 1800-talet har det enligt språkforskaren Siv Strömquist varnats för detta stöddiga skiljetecken, som inte sällan beskrivs som skrikigt och vulgärt. Jag minns hur en bekant som arbetade med att besvara allmänhetens brev på Rosenbad fick instruktionen att ersätta det alldeles korrekta utropstecknet i hälsningsfraserna med ett komma – utropstecknet var helt enkelt för ”familjärt” för statsförvaltningen. Och i TT-språkets skrivregler konstateras bara helt kort att utropstecknet bör användas ”sparsamt”.utropstecknets explicita tydlighet ställs mot ett rådande stilideal som upphöjer det vaga och outtalade.För tio år sedan skrev den brittiska journalisten Stuart Jeffries i The Guardian om en renässans för utropstecknet i den digitala tidsålderns kommunikation, där detta skiljetecken kan innebära den stora skillnaden mellan det avmätta och det förtjusta. ”Vi ses på konferensen [utropstecken]” förmedlar något helt annat än ”Vi ses på konferensen [punkt]”. Forskning visar också att kvinnor använder utropstecken i högre utsträckning än män, vilket språkforskaren Carol Waseleski förklarar med att utropstecknet kan utstråla vänlighet – vilket alltså anses utmärkande för kvinnors sätt att kommunicera.Men utropstecknets status som det mest förtalade bland skiljetecken rubbas nog inte så lätt. Det är en flåsig gaphals vi talar om – som gjord för det militära eller för samtidens råbarkade debatter i kommentarsfält och på Twitter. Jeffries tar i sin artikel upp kriminalförfattaren Elmore Leonard, som sagt att två eller tre utropstecken per hundratusen ord prosa möjligen kan passera, vilket innebär ungefär ett per medellång roman. Fantasyförfattaren Terry Pratchett låter en av sina romanfigurer säga att fler än ett i följd av detta skiljetecken är ett uttryck för en ”sjuk hjärna”, medan F. Scott Fitzgerald ansåg att den som överhuvudtaget använder det lika gärna kan skratta åt sina egna skämt. Herrarna har nog en poäng, och samtidigt kan utropstecknet som fenomen bevisligen ligga till grund både för litterär intrig och tidlös komedi.I den klassiska komediserien ”Seinfeld” kraschar förhållandet mellan Elaine och hennes författarkille för att han inte använder utropstecken i ett nedskrivet telefonmeddelande om en nyfödd bebis i bekantskapskretsen. Hon tycker att han struntar i hennes vänner, han tycker att hon är lite väl slampig med sina skiljetecken. I ett avsnitt av Sex and the city förvandlas ett utlovat utropstecken till ett frågetecken på omslaget till New York Magazine, som pryds av en osmickrande bild av huvudpersonen Carrie. Tidningsrubriken ”Singel och fantastisk?” formulerat som en fråga snarare än med utropstecknets sköna självsäkerhet får Carrie att ifrågasätta hela sin sorglösa livsstil.Utropstecknet är alltså ett tecken som både väcker och uttrycker känslor, och känslor får väl generellt sägas ha ganska låg status i vårt samhälle. Men kanske handlar frågan också om att utropstecknets explicita tydlighet ställs mot ett rådande stilideal som upphöjer det vaga och outtalade. I en illustrativ passage i romanen ”Argonauterna” fastnar författaren Maggie Nelson vid de tomma hakparenteser som den inflytelserika författaren Anne Carson gett som skriftliga intervjusvar i en tidning – och som signalerar ett slags tyst och sofistikerad återhållsamhet. Nelson skriver: ”Åsynen av Carsons hakparenteser fick mig genast att skämmas för min tvångsmässiga drift att lägga korten mer bestämt på bordet. Men ju mer jag tänkte på hakparenteserna, desto mer störde de mig. De tycktes göra en fetisch av det osagda”. Utropstecknet lägger verkligen korten bestämt på bordet, och tvingar fram ställningstaganden i en tid när det värsta man kan vara är tvärsäker – alldeles oavsett vad man är tvärsäker på. På senare tid har så kallad samtalsaktivism blivit på modet, det vill säga tekniken att genom diskussion och möten försöka motverka polarisering i samhället. Här tycks förmågan att förflytta sig vara viktigare än att syna innehållet i de – inte sällan extrema – åsikter som genom denna typ av samtal erbjuds en plattform. Rörligheten i ståndpunkter blir närmast ett bevis för ett rörligt intellekt, och då finns inte plats för några rigida utropstecken.All förundran är borta med honom, liksom den kraft som utropstecknet för med sig till det skrivna språket mellan människorna.Men låt oss återvända till känslorna. I den tidiga novellen ”Utropstecknet” skildrar Anton Tjechov en statstjänsteman som vid juletid konfronteras med att han under 40 yrkesår aldrig har använt ett utropstecken: ”Fördömt! När använder man egentligen utropstecken?” Den grammatiskt skolade hustrun får hjälpa till: Vid hälsningar och utrop och vid uttryck för jubel, indignation och ilska, upplyser hon. Den osalige tjänstemannen jagas av sina utropstecken, och ser hur människor omkring honom förvandlas till långa streck med en punkt under. För tänk om han på 40 år inte har upplevt en enda känsla som förtjänat ett utropstecken – vad säger det om hans liv?Jag tror – eller rättare sagt: jag vet – att det också kan gå åt andra hållet, så att de starkaste av känslor kan kortsluta användningen av detta känslotecken. Den grönländska poeten Naja Marie Aidt beskriver i den prosalyriska romanen ”Har döden tagit något ifrån dig så ge det tillbaka” om hur sorgen efter hennes vuxna son slog sönder all syntax och begriplighet i hennes formuleringar. ”inget språk möjligt språk dog med mitt barn”, skriver hon i en lång ordmassa helt utan skiljetecken. När mitt eget barn dog hände det något med mina utropstecken, och specifikt med dem. Utropstecknen försvann ur all skriven kommunikation, och har ännu inte återvänt. Det handlar inte bara om brist på glädje och entusiasm, utan om något som kanske står att finna i utropstecknets historiska rötter. I vår äldsta bevarade handledning i användandet av skiljetecken talas det om ”förundringstecken”, eller punctus admirativus. Utropstecknet hör i sitt ursprung alltså hemma inför skapelsens och varats mirakel. Och för den som sett all sådan skönhet i sin nyfödda sons knubbiga ansikte finns ingen förundran kvar på jorden, inte sedan han skickats iväg för gravsättning i en mönstrad pyjamas. All förundran är borta med honom, liksom den kraft som utropstecknet för med sig till det skrivna språket mellan människorna.Annat är det i nattens ordlösa klagan, där utropstecknen kastas mot en tom himmel utan svar. Jag läser Jobs bok i Gamla testamentet, och dess berättelse om mannen som inte bara förlorar sina barn och allt han äger utan också drabbas av svåra sjukdomar. Här finns naturligt nog en hel del förtvivlade utropstecken: ”Ropa bara! Finns det någon som svarar?”, som det står i femte kapitlet. Och lite längre fram:Om jag tänker: 'Det lättar när jag lagt mig,sömnen skall lindra min sorg',då skrämmer du mig med drömmar,förfärar mig med syner,så att jag hellre vill kvävas.Hellre döden än denna plåga!För utropstecknet må vara en flåsig gaphals som skrattar åt sina egna skämt i den politiska polariseringens tid. Men det kan också – både i sin närvaro och i sin frånvaro – bära på ett möjligt språk för det mänskliga livets yttersta gränser.Kristina Lindquist, kulturskribentLitteraturNaja Marie Aidt: ”Har döden tagit något ifrån dig så ge det tillbaka” (Wahlström & Widstrand, 2018)Bibeln.

Yngre generationer kan uppfatta en punkt som hård och aggressiv, medan tre punkter efter varandra breder ut sig. Författaren Tone Schunnesson reflekterar över sitt förhållande till slutet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad 26/11 2018. I alla hjärtans dag-present året jag fyllde nitton fick jag något som kom att hänga över mig i många år. Peter Weiss bildungsroman Motståndets estetik, en stabbig ilsket röd pocketutgåva av den trilogi som behandlar olika sorters motstånd mot fascismen. Det här är mitt första riktigt starka minne av punkten, eller snarare avsaknaden. Jag tyckte att jag läste och läste men meningarna tog aldrig slut. Jag tappade kraft och lät tanken vandra, tvingades börja om, ibland flera sidor tillbaka. Jag försökte skapa ställen i texten där jag kunde vila mig men lyckades inte, fullständigt underkastad Weiss och det försvunna skiljetecknet. Som jag längtade efter den punkten, och när den väl kom var det som att jag simmat allt för länge under vatten. Jag nådde ytan desperat, andades in så häftigt att luften brände i mina lungor. Jag hade klarat mig, men utan någon uppskattning för vad jag nyss hade tagit mig igenom. För visst är det så med punkten, den blir synlig först när den inte är där. Eller när den sitter på fel ställe. Som när en vän, som på grund av dyslexi, placerade den mitt i meningar. När han bad mig förklara hur jag gjorde hade jag inget bra svar att erbjuda. Mycket mer än konkreta regler handlar grammatik ofta om en privilegierad intuition och jag hänvisade korkat nog till den intuition som han ju saknade. Här kom nu Weiss och utmanade min trygghet och för första gången drabbades jag av skiljetecknets fulla kraft. Den driver meningen framåt och påminner oss redan från början om vårt slut men lägger sig i vägen för ett fall ner i mörkret. Weiss är bara en av oändligt många författare som förstått hur betydelsebärande punkten är, och hur den belyser språkets kroppsliga dimension. Punkten synliggör rörelsen bakom texten, skriver Laurence Pett och Pascale Tollance i förordet till boken Point Dot Period... The Dynamics of punctuation in Text and Image och syftar på författaren som håller i pennan, och bestämmer sig för att runda av. Dessutom relaterar språket både till rum och tid, och ska därför förstås som något som händer snarare än något som beskriver, och på det här sättet blir punkten spår av en händelse. Kanske var det så Peter Weiss ville minimera författarens närvaro i sin gestaltning av historiska händelserna så fruktansvärda att de är bortom språket. Roland Barthes, som alltid verkar lite hjärtekrossad, hänvisar oss tillbaka till ordets latinska ursprung: punctum, som också kan betyda litet hål eller sår. Litteraturprofessorn Pierre Szendy vänder sig istället mot grekiskan där vi finner spår av punkten i det som betyder prägel eller märke, till och med märke efter ett slag. Punkten händelse är betydelsefull också inom konsten och Wassily Kandinskij hävdar att punkten är den ultimata, mest enastående föreningen av tystnad och tal. Alla skiljetecken är bild i text, men inget skiljetecken är lika levande för mig som punkten. Den driver meningen framåt och påminner oss redan från början om vårt slut men lägger sig i vägen för ett fall ner i mörkret. Den sliter oss ur något när vi vill vara kvar, säger åt oss att stunden är över samtidigt som den syftar tillbaka till platsen vi kom ifrån. Punkten kan vara slut eller början på en evig loop. Någon som använder punkten särskilt begåvat komplext och lustfyllt är den kanadensiska poeten Anne Carson. Hennes interpunktion har en förmåga att skjuta som en pil genom bröstet och i "The Life of Towns" en diktserie om städer gör punkten dikterna till en värld som hela tiden avbryter sig själv, genom att avbryta meningarna innan läsaren förväntar sig ett avslut. Så här låter det i Sylvia Town: The burners and the starvers. Came green April. Drank their hearts came. Burning and starving her. Eyes pulled up by roots. Lay on the desk. Författaren Jennifer K. Dick läser samman Carsons interpunktion med Kadinskijs geometriska teorier, som syftar på både punkten och cirkeln, där cirkeln blir lika viktigt för dikten som punkten. Cirkeln syftar i text till O, det O! som formar läpparna i en cirkel och därmed inleder så många verser i litteraturhistorien. Tänk John Keats: O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, detta drabbande O! som lockar läsare in i en mun som härbärgerar världen och börjar tala. Punkten är också en cirkel, men ifylld.  En cirkel som inte manar till tal utan tvärtom tystnad. Dick skriver att medan cirkeln i sin form, formen av en jordglob, försöker rymma hela världen vill punkten, som sluter sig runt sig själv, utesluta den. Punkten som överraskar oss blir ett hål in i ett språk som vi ofta producerar utan tillförsikt, ett språk vi övermodigt presenterar som en perfekt maskin när det i själva verket är lika sårigt och osäkert som vi. I slutarbetet med min roman Tripprapporter mailade jag fram och tillbaka med min redaktör om textens allra sista punkt, som jag hade utelämnat. Jag hade låtit bli att sätta dit den, både för att undvika den skräck det innebär att att vara klar men också för att jag tänkte att min romanfigur helt enkelt var blöt om fötterna efter ett dopp i poolen och skulle snubbla över balkongens räcke ut i luften och allt detta skulle sägas i avsaknaden av ett skiljetecken. Till sist bestämde vi oss för att sätta punkt ändå, jag ville att hon skulle överleva. Dessutom fanns risken att det skulle uppfattas som ett korrfel. Att utelämna punkten kräver nämligen ett visst förtroende från läsaren. Att man tydligt talar om var man befinner sig och vad man kan förvänta sig, som i en kubistisk dikt av Getrude Stein, eller om man vill vara mer cynisk, ett förtroende som framförallt inte handlar om form utan om ålder eller kön, eller att ditt namn läses som ett namn sprunget ur språket du skriver på. Ska vi äta lunch ... Jag ångrar inte att jag till sist bestämde mig för att sätta punkt, för i en vardag där jag använder den allt mer sällan innehar den en väldig pondus. När jag sms:ar med mina kompisar och de skriver punkt i slutet av sina meddelande, eller ännu värre efter mitt namn, tror jag de är arga på mig och själv sätter jag bara punkt i de första artiga sms:en till en redaktör eller kollega. Punkten är bortrationaliserad när vi inte längre betalar per sms, där meddelandets skicka är att sätta punkt. Skrivandets hastighet, möjliggjort av tekniken, gör att vissa av språkets allra känsligaste element går förlorade och kvar finns det grovhuggna, yttersta lagret av språk men istället tillkommer en underhållande rapphet. Kanske är längtan efter den punkt jag övergett anledningen till att jag slumpmässigt börjat avsluta mina meningar med tre såsiga punkter, något som jag tidigare förknippat med illa skriven dialog och kiosklitteratur. De tre punkterna gör mig oproportionerligt glad genom hur de skapar osäkerhet i något som inte bör vara osäkert alls: Ska vi äta lunch punkt punkt punkt. Eller så ligger min glädje i den mekaniska och opersonliga rörelsen bakom, hur de tre punkterna på rad liksom urvattnar den pondus punkten plötsligt fick när vi försökte göra den oviktig.

I høst er det 60 år siden Rachel Carsons bok Silent Spring (no: Den tause våren) kom ut. Boka handler om et utall sprøytemidler som ble brukt nokså ukritisk på Carsons tid, og de følgene det fikk for både mennesker og dyr. Men det var en enormt stor gruppe sprøytemidler som gikk helt under radaren den gang, en gruppe kjemikalier som Rachel Carson ikke nevner i boken og som skaper store problemer i dag. Med en samlebetegnelse kalles disse kjemikaliene PFAS, og det finnes tusener av dem: i naturen, i mennesker, i drikkevann – ja, i vår tid regner det PFAS. Hvorfor visste ikke Carson om disse stoffene, og hadde vi stått bedre rustet i dag om hun hadde fått dem med i boken sin? Spør Guro Tarjem i andre del av vår miniserie om Rachel Carsons forskningsarv. Medvirkende: Hans Peter Arp, miljøkjemiker ved Norges geotekniske institutt NGI og også NTNU i Trondheim Merete Grung ved Norsk institutt for vannforskning , NIVA Kine Beck, senioringeniør på seksjon for miljøkjemi, NIVA Trine Torgersen, seksjonsleder i miljøgiftavdelingen i Miljødirektoratet Ann Kristin Larsen, toksikolog og senior miljørådgiver hos Svanemerket.

Yngre generationer kan uppfatta en punkt som hård och aggressiv, medan tre punkter efter varandra breder ut sig. Författaren Tone Schunnesson reflekterar över sitt förhållande till slutet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad 26/11 2018. I alla hjärtans dag-present året jag fyllde nitton fick jag något som kom att hänga över mig i många år. Peter Weiss bildungsroman Motståndets estetik, en stabbig ilsket röd pocketutgåva av den trilogi som behandlar olika sorters motstånd mot fascismen. Det här är mitt första riktigt starka minne av punkten, eller snarare avsaknaden. Jag tyckte att jag läste och läste men meningarna tog aldrig slut. Jag tappade kraft och lät tanken vandra, tvingades börja om, ibland flera sidor tillbaka. Jag försökte skapa ställen i texten där jag kunde vila mig men lyckades inte, fullständigt underkastad Weiss och det försvunna skiljetecknet. Som jag längtade efter den punkten, och när den väl kom var det som att jag simmat allt för länge under vatten. Jag nådde ytan desperat, andades in så häftigt att luften brände i mina lungor. Jag hade klarat mig, men utan någon uppskattning för vad jag nyss hade tagit mig igenom. För visst är det så med punkten, den blir synlig först när den inte är där. Eller när den sitter på fel ställe. Som när en vän, som på grund av dyslexi, placerade den mitt i meningar. När han bad mig förklara hur jag gjorde hade jag inget bra svar att erbjuda. Mycket mer än konkreta regler handlar grammatik ofta om en privilegierad intuition och jag hänvisade korkat nog till den intuition som han ju saknade. Här kom nu Weiss och utmanade min trygghet och för första gången drabbades jag av skiljetecknets fulla kraft. Den driver meningen framåt och påminner oss redan från början om vårt slut men lägger sig i vägen för ett fall ner i mörkret. Weiss är bara en av oändligt många författare som förstått hur betydelsebärande punkten är, och hur den belyser språkets kroppsliga dimension.

The State of Maine relies on local school administrative units (SAUs) to ensure that every school-age child in the state has access to a free education. Not every SAU operates its own public secondary school. To meet the state requirements, an SAU without its own public secondary school may either (1) contract with a secondary school to provide school privileges or (2) pay the tuition of a secondary school at which a particular student is accepted. In either circumstance, the secondary school must be either a public school or an “approved” private school. To be an “approved” school, a private school must meet the state's compulsory attendance requirements (which can be demonstrated by accreditation by a New England association of schools and colleges or by approval by the Maine Department of Education), and it must be “nonsectarian in accordance with the First Amendment.” The Carsons, Gillises, and Nelsons live in SAUs that do not operate a public secondary school of their own but instead provide tuition assistance to parents who send their children to an “approved” private school. The three families opted to send their children to private schools that are accredited but do not meet the nonsectarian requirement because they are religiously affiliated. Because the schools are not “approved,” they do not qualify for tuition assistance. The families filed a lawsuit in federal court arguing that the “nonsectarian” requirement violates the Constitution on its face and as applied. On cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court granted judgment to the State and denied judgment to the plaintiffs. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed, noting that it had twice before rejected similar challenges, and even though the U.S. Supreme Court had decided two relevant cases in the interim, those cases do not produce a different outcome here. The case was decided on June 21, 2022. The Court held that Maine's “nonsectarian” requirement for otherwise generally available tuition assistance payments violates the Free Exercise Clause. Chief Justice Roberts delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett joined. Justice Breyer filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Kagan joined, and in which Justice Sotomayor joined as to all but Part 1–B. Justice Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion.

In this episode, we start with some NCAA Tournament talk which includes Drew Timme and Gonzaga as villains, UNC's upset of Baylor and the campus of St. Peter's University. Then, we switch to the NBA to talk All-NBA and Carsons' off-the-wall Pelicans plan.

www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Loganville resident Michael A. Carson and his 12-year-old son Matthew must by now be well familiar with the proverb “necessity is the mother of invention.” When the Carsons found themselves at home together during the COVID-19 pandemic, they made productive use of their time.In 2021, the Carsons wrote and published “African-American Musicians That Changed Music Forever,” and their partnership resulted in yet another book, “How Did Black History Month Begin?” which came out in January.“We collaborated from beginning to end on our musicians book,” said Michael Carson, a native New Yorker who has lived in Gwinnett County for 18 years. “That book came out of our love of music. At the time when we came up with the idea, COVID had just hit in 2020 and we had to cancel our vacations and summer programs and the world was going in a different direction, so we were home all the time.www.GwinnettDailyPost.com

With the return of Carson Faces-the-Storm the Sept is a buzz with questions. Not least of all, if Carson wasn't a ghost can Final-Days and Fate-Dancer be held responsible for letting a possessed Garou onto their newly founded Elder Council? As the packs contemplate this predicament an unnatural desire to prove Carson's innocents comes over them.  Storyteller: Keegan Cora Two-Hearts: Sam Kyle Guards-the-Low: Tyler Mark Guides-the-Fallen: Adam Roy Mindscape: George Zeb Speaks-in-Sweet-Whispers: Sean Dimitri Howls-In-Memory: Thomas Our Discord: https://discord.gg/UBzwyer “Portions of the materials are the copyrights and trademarks of White Wolf Entertainment AB, and are used with permission.

Verdwenen vogelgeluiden, verwelkte planten en een vervuilde bodem. In de jaren '60 waarschuwde bioloog Rachel Carson in haar boek Silent Spring voor de verwoestende effecten van chemische bestrijdingsmiddelen op de natuur. De bestseller wordt ook wel als het begin van de milieubeweging gezien. Zestig jaar later is het pesticideprobleem nog steeds niet opgelost. Milieukundige dr. Jerry van Dijk bespreekt Carsons klassieker. Waarom zijn we nog maar zo weinig opgeschoten? En wat verhindert een échte omwenteling?

In this episode of the Eric Roberts Fitness Podcast I speak with my 1:1 online coaching client Carson who is just amazing. Carson shares her story about not only losing weight but also now intentionally eating more calories to build muscle, how she uses her competitive spirit to fuel her journey in a positive way, and her rule of never saying no.  I think this podcast can help you out a ton and if it does, feel free to leave a 5 star rating and review on iTunes as that would mean the world to me.  Look to chat soon, -E   https://ericrobertsfitness.com/contact/

Part two of our series, "Kingdoms in Conflict: A Study of the Book of Daniel" Discussion/Reflection: And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some ofthe vessels of the house of God. And he brought them tothe land of Shinar, to the house of his god,and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god. -Daniel 1:2 The strange working of Gods providence Providence: The almighty and everywhere present power of God, whereby, as it were, by his hand, he still upholds heaven and earth, with all creatures, and so governs them that herbs and grass, rain and drought, fruitful and barren years, meat and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty, yea, all things come not by chance, but by his fatherly hand. -Heidelberg Catechism 1. What does it say about God and his providence that it was His purpose to hand His people over to exile? 2. How does this grate against what we often want Gods providence to mean? As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. -Genesis 50:20 3. What is going on in your life or the world around you that makes it seem as though God is not in control, that He doesnt care, or that He has been defeated? God allows Himself to appear defeated at times. He often does things that we dont expect he humbled himself bybecoming obedient to the point of death,even death on a cross. -Philippians 2:8 4. What are we called to do when life is hard and we cant see or understand what God is doing? Consider the gravity and implications of this passage in Romans 8: Nowhope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, wewait for it with patience And we know that for those who love God all things work togetherfor good, forthose who are called according to his purposeWhat then shall we say to these things?If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son butgave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?...Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, For your sakewe are being killed all the day long;we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we are more thanconquerors throughhim who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:24,25, 28, 31, 35-39. The dual identity of Gods people Andthe chief of the eunuchsgave them names:Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego. But Danielresolved that he would notdefile himself withthe king's food, or withthe wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not todefile himself. -Daniel 1:7-8 1. Daniel and his friends were renamed to reflect the pagan gods that Babylon worshiped in an attempt to redefine their identities. How does this happen in our culture today? 2. The boys were re-educated within the Babylonian cultural and intellectual framework in an attempt to reshape how they thought and saw the world. How does this attempted education and re-education happen in our culture today? 3. Daniel drew a line in the sand in his indoctrination. He found a balance in his conscience between peaceful cooperation and a firm stance on who he was as a child of God in the world. What ought it look like for us to be authentic disciples of Jesus in the circles God has placed us in and amidst pressures to conform to the culture? Where should we draw lines? How do we do so in a way that honours and represents Christ? 4. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were initially chosen by Nebuchadnezzar because of their skill, wisdom, knowledge, and overall competence. They also stood out among the others for these reasons after being tested. This helped lead them to the positions of influence and witness they would have for the Lord within the kingdom of man. What does this teach us about how we ought to work, contribute, seek to grow in godly wisdom, and competence and skill in our craft where God has placed us? 5. What might it look like for us in our own circumstances to show the world a different and better way to live in such a way that, like D.A Carsons friend, we can say, watch me? Then the king commanded Ashpenaz,his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and ofthe nobility, youths withoutblemish, of good appearance andskillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king's palace, and toteach them the literature and language of theChaldeans. -Daniel 1:3-4 Consider Jesus words to the 12 - Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so bewise as serpents andinnocent as doves. -Matthew 10:16 The sustaining nature of Gods grace 1. What does it mean that God sustains us and grants us favour and success by His grace as we live in the kingdom of man? 2. When you are able to stand firm in your faith in difficult circumstances, when you achieve a measure of success, receive blessing or favour, what is the immediate response in your heart? Is it thankfulness, praise, humility, knowing that it is entirely by Gods grace? Or is your knee-jerk reaction to conclude that youve earned it, deserve it, and can keep winning by your own ingenuity? We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at allBetween here and heaven, every minute that the Christian lives will be a minute of grace. -Charles Spurgeon The surprising veracity of Gods servants And Danielwas there until the first year ofKing Cyrus. -Daniel 1:21 1. God already indicates to us how this story ends By Gods grace Daniel outlasted every kingdom of man through Israels entire exile. What about the world and the powers of our culture would tempt us to forget that God is on the throne, that He has already won the victory, that His kingdom will not fail? TheLordhasestablished his throne in the heavens, and hiskingdom rules over all. -Psalm 103:19 He put another parable before them, saying,The kingdom of heaven is likea grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. -Matthew 13:31-32 2. Do you struggle to tangibly trust God and live with confident hope when the world and your circumstances look bleak and you cant see what God is doing? How are the promises of Gods providence and His perfect goodness meant to inform our hearts, minds, and ultimately our worship? Why must we dwell on the providence and soveriegnty of our God? - That we may be patient in adversity, thankful in prosperity, and for what is future have good confidence in our faithful God and Father that no creature shall separate us from his love, since all creatures are so in his hand that without his will they can not so much as move. -Heidelberg Catechism For prayer and reflection: If someone was to follow and watch your life closely, what would they see? Is it a life clearly changed by the radical grace of God? Is there conviction to draw lines, stand on what is right and walk in the ways of the Lord when it is hard and unpopular? Is there costly, sacrificial love and service to others? A zeal to steward and develop what God has given you to bless others, see those around you flourish, and bring glory to His name? Would they see an uncommon and beautiful hope in the providence of the God who holds the heavens and the earth through every trial and storm? Spend some time in reflection and repentance where God has brought conviction in your heart. Let it sink in and give you courage that God is faithful, that all things are in His powerful and fatherly hands, that He is moving and working where you cant see it, and that absolutely nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Yngre generationer kan uppfatta en punkt som hård och aggressiv, medan tre punkter efter varandra breder ut sig. Författaren Tone Schunnesson reflekterar över sitt förhållande till slutet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad 26/11 2018. I alla hjärtans dag-present året jag fyllde nitton fick jag något som kom att hänga över mig i många år. Peter Weiss bildungsroman Motståndets estetik, en stabbig ilsket röd pocketutgåva av den trilogi som behandlar olika sorters motstånd mot fascismen. Det här är mitt första riktigt starka minne av punkten, eller snarare avsaknaden. Jag tyckte att jag läste och läste men meningarna tog aldrig slut. Jag tappade kraft och lät tanken vandra, tvingades börja om, ibland flera sidor tillbaka. Jag försökte skapa ställen i texten där jag kunde vila mig men lyckades inte, fullständigt underkastad Weiss och det försvunna skiljetecknet. Som jag längtade efter den punkten, och när den väl kom var det som att jag simmat allt för länge under vatten. Jag nådde ytan desperat, andades in så häftigt att luften brände i mina lungor. Jag hade klarat mig, men utan någon uppskattning för vad jag nyss hade tagit mig igenom. För visst är det så med punkten, den blir synlig först när den inte är där. Eller när den sitter på fel ställe. Som när en vän, som på grund av dyslexi, placerade den mitt i meningar. När han bad mig förklara hur jag gjorde hade jag inget bra svar att erbjuda. Mycket mer än konkreta regler handlar grammatik ofta om en privilegierad intuition och jag hänvisade korkat nog till den intuition som han ju saknade. Här kom nu Weiss och utmanade min trygghet och för första gången drabbades jag av skiljetecknets fulla kraft. Den driver meningen framåt och påminner oss redan från början om vårt slut men lägger sig i vägen för ett fall ner i mörkret. Weiss är bara en av oändligt många författare som förstått hur betydelsebärande punkten är, och hur den belyser språkets kroppsliga dimension. Punkten synliggör rörelsen bakom texten, skriver Laurence Pett och Pascale Tollance i förordet till boken Point Dot Period... The Dynamics of punctuation in Text and Image och syftar på författaren som håller i pennan, och bestämmer sig för att runda av. Dessutom relaterar språket både till rum och tid, och ska därför förstås som något som händer snarare än något som beskriver, och på det här sättet blir punkten spår av en händelse. Kanske var det så Peter Weiss ville minimera författarens närvaro i sin gestaltning av historiska händelserna så fruktansvärda att de är bortom språket. Roland Barthes, som alltid verkar lite hjärtekrossad, hänvisar oss tillbaka till ordets latinska ursprung: punctum, som också kan betyda litet hål eller sår. Litteraturprofessorn Pierre Szendy vänder sig istället mot grekiskan där vi finner spår av punkten i det som betyder prägel eller märke, till och med märke efter ett slag. Punkten händelse är betydelsefull också inom konsten och Wassily Kandinskij hävdar att punkten är den ultimata, mest enastående föreningen av tystnad och tal. Alla skiljetecken är bild i text, men inget skiljetecken är lika levande för mig som punkten. Den driver meningen framåt och påminner oss redan från början om vårt slut men lägger sig i vägen för ett fall ner i mörkret. Den sliter oss ur något när vi vill vara kvar, säger åt oss att stunden är över samtidigt som den syftar tillbaka till platsen vi kom ifrån. Punkten kan vara slut eller början på en evig loop. Någon som använder punkten särskilt begåvat komplext och lustfyllt är den kanadensiska poeten Anne Carson. Hennes interpunktion har en förmåga att skjuta som en pil genom bröstet och i "The Life of Towns" en diktserie om städer gör punkten dikterna till en värld som hela tiden avbryter sig själv, genom att avbryta meningarna innan läsaren förväntar sig ett avslut. Så här låter det i Sylvia Town: The burners and the starvers. Came green April. Drank their hearts came. Burning and starving her. Eyes pulled up by roots. Lay on the desk. Författaren Jennifer K. Dick läser samman Carsons interpunktion med Kadinskijs geometriska teorier, som syftar på både punkten och cirkeln, där cirkeln blir lika viktigt för dikten som punkten. Cirkeln syftar i text till O, det O! som formar läpparna i en cirkel och därmed inleder så många verser i litteraturhistorien. Tänk John Keats: O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, detta drabbande O! som lockar läsare in i en mun som härbärgerar världen och börjar tala. Punkten är också en cirkel, men ifylld.  En cirkel som inte manar till tal utan tvärtom tystnad. Dick skriver att medan cirkeln i sin form, formen av en jordglob, försöker rymma hela världen vill punkten, som sluter sig runt sig själv, utesluta den. Punkten som överraskar oss blir ett hål in i ett språk som vi ofta producerar utan tillförsikt, ett språk vi övermodigt presenterar som en perfekt maskin när det i själva verket är lika sårigt och osäkert som vi. I slutarbetet med min roman Tripprapporter mailade jag fram och tillbaka med min redaktör om textens allra sista punkt, som jag hade utelämnat. Jag hade låtit bli att sätta dit den, både för att undvika den skräck det innebär att att vara klar men också för att jag tänkte att min romanfigur helt enkelt var blöt om fötterna efter ett dopp i poolen och skulle snubbla över balkongens räcke ut i luften och allt detta skulle sägas i avsaknaden av ett skiljetecken. Till sist bestämde vi oss för att sätta punkt ändå, jag ville att hon skulle överleva. Dessutom fanns risken att det skulle uppfattas som ett korrfel. Att utelämna punkten kräver nämligen ett visst förtroende från läsaren. Att man tydligt talar om var man befinner sig och vad man kan förvänta sig, som i en kubistisk dikt av Getrude Stein, eller om man vill vara mer cynisk, ett förtroende som framförallt inte handlar om form utan om ålder eller kön, eller att ditt namn läses som ett namn sprunget ur språket du skriver på. Ska vi äta lunch ... Jag ångrar inte att jag till sist bestämde mig för att sätta punkt, för i en vardag där jag använder den allt mer sällan innehar den en väldig pondus. När jag sms:ar med mina kompisar och de skriver punkt i slutet av sina meddelande, eller ännu värre efter mitt namn, tror jag de är arga på mig och själv sätter jag bara punkt i de första artiga sms:en till en redaktör eller kollega. Punkten är bortrationaliserad när vi inte längre betalar per sms, där meddelandets skicka är att sätta punkt. Skrivandets hastighet, möjliggjort av tekniken, gör att vissa av språkets allra känsligaste element går förlorade och kvar finns det grovhuggna, yttersta lagret av språk men istället tillkommer en underhållande rapphet. Kanske är längtan efter den punkt jag övergett anledningen till att jag slumpmässigt börjat avsluta mina meningar med tre såsiga punkter, något som jag tidigare förknippat med illa skriven dialog och kiosklitteratur. De tre punkterna gör mig oproportionerligt glad genom hur de skapar osäkerhet i något som inte bör vara osäkert alls: Ska vi äta lunch punkt punkt punkt. Eller så ligger min glädje i den mekaniska och opersonliga rörelsen bakom, hur de tre punkterna på rad liksom urvattnar den pondus punkten plötsligt fick när vi försökte göra den oviktig.

Sapfo var en av antikens allra mest lysande stjärnor men av hennes lyrik återstår bara spillror. Anna Blennow ser poesin frodas i ofullständigheten när vår fantasi blir Sapfos spökskrivare. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän publicerades första gången 19/4 2017. Sapfo. Fragment 47 Eros skakade mitt hjärta liksom vinden drabbar ekarna på berget Fragment. Frånvaro. Förgängligheten hos det som varit helt. Spegelskärvan som inte längre reflekterar verkligheten. Och för den som sysslar med antikens litteratur är fragmenten den enda realiteten, den ofullständiga bas som vår kunskap balanserar på. Författare okänd. Texter förlorade. Det är som ett mantra, som upprepas för varje läsning: vi vet så lite. När vi läser antikens poesi har vi redan förlorat greppet om den, den faller ur våra händer, och vi samlar spillror och fotspår. Den grekiska poeten Sapfo, som levde på ön Lesbos sex århundraden före vår tideräkning, är kanske den författare som främst kommit att förknippas med fragment. Som en av den antika lyrikens absoluta förgrundsfigurer kallades hon den tionde musan och den kvinnliga Homeros. Hennes samlade verk omfattade kanske hela tiotusen versrader, men av dem återstår nu bara några enstaka kompletta dikter. Resten är fragment, ibland bara någon rad eller ett par ord långa. Fragment 48 Du kom, som jag längtade! och kylde av mitt hjärta som brann av begär Sapfos dikter ekar av begär till kvinnor, vilket genom historien satt ständigt fokus på hennes sexualitet. Men vem var hon? Hur var hon? Poeten Alkaios, Sapfos samtida, också han från Lesbos, beskriver hennes hår som mörkt violfärgat och hennes leende som honungslikt, och det är allt vi vet. Bilden av Sapfo är lika skör som den tvåtusen år gamla egyptiska krukskärva på vilken ett av hennes diktfragment återfunnits, där Sapfo åkallar Afrodite i en skuggig lund av rosor och äppelträd, med altare som ryker av rökelse. Fragment 177 genomskinlig dräkt Varje bok om och varje tolkning av Sapfo understryker dikternas fragmentariska tillstånd, trots att detta är långt ifrån unikt för just hennes poesi. Samtidigt har eftervärlden varit besatt av att försöka rekonstruera Sapfos biografi ur hennes dikter och ur långt senare textkällor. Det är som om det kroppsliga i hennes poesi kärlekens alla plågsamma symptom från yrsel till svettningar skapat ett behov av att mana fram den fysiska Sapfo. Hon förkroppsligas i sina dikter, och när textstyckena blir en metafor för hennes person görs Sapfo till en kropp i ruiner. Dikterna blir till en corpus i dubbel bemärkelse Sapfos samlade verk, men också en anatomisk katalog som skymtar i fragmenten: kropp, känslor, klädesplagg. Och utgivare och översättare längtar efter att få fylla konturerna av Sapfo med färg, så att hon kan träda fram och personifiera den starka känsla av liv som dikterna förmedlar. Rekonstruktionen av dikten blir en konstruktion av Sapfo som person: delvis mytbaserade biografiska byggen som ofta uppkommit som försök till äreräddning, där den ansiktslösa, gudomligt undanglidande poeten porträtterats som heteronormativt förankrad, gift flickskolefröken. Fragment 46 På en mjuk kudde låter jag min kropp falla Den utgåva och översättning av dikterna som gjorts av den kanadensiska poeten och Sapfoforskaren Anne Carson ser istället fragmenten som helheten. Bokens titel, If not, winter, (Om inte, vinter) är ett citat ur fragment 22, och står som symbol för Carsons förhållningssätt till sitt material. En rad ryckt ur sitt sammanhang kan plötsligt bli till en ny dikt, en dikt i sig, när vår fantasi blir Sapfos spökskrivare. Carson betonar fragmenten genom att tydligt markera varje lucka i texten, och undviker att rekonstruera ett enda ord i dem. Hon beskriver i intervjuer hur hon själv dragits som magnetiserad just till frånvaron och fragmenten. Att presentera texten i sitt faktiska tillstånd istället för att, som vid mera traditionell textutgivning, försöka återskapa en trolig text, blir för Carson en poetisk akt i sig. Det ställer krav på läsarens elasticitet och aktivitet, men är kanske det enda sättet att som översättare försöka nå fram till ekot av Sapfo, som Carson kallar det, genom tolkningarna som liksom tidslager lagt sig tätt över dikten. Den tomma platsen för Sapfos förlorade ord blir i Carsons händer till ett anti-poem som lyser starkare än både tomrum och myt. Fragment 176 lyra lyra lyra Carsons utgåva synliggör hur lite vi vet, såväl om Sapfo som om hennes verk. Men en av de få biografiska uppgifter vi faktiskt har är att Sapfo vid en viss tidpunkt tvingats i exil från Lesbos till Sicilien. Vi vet inte varför, bara att denna notis huggits in i marmor på ön Paros i en kalender över viktiga händelser från Athens mytiske kung Kekrops och framåt. Monumentet återfanns på 1600-talet och nådde så småningom Ashmolean Museums samlingar i Oxford. Noggranna avteckningar gjordes tidigt av den grekiska texten. Men den som besöker museet idag kommer att upptäcka att texten på stenens nedslitna yta är nästan helt oläslig. Väder och vind har slipat ner marmorn till ett glittrande hav, som svept fram över bokstäverna skrivna i den sicilianska sanden. Men det finns ett textspår till om Sapfo på Sicilien. Gaius Verres, girig romersk guvernör på Sicilien under första århundradet före vår tideräkning, stal med sig ett stort antal konstverk från ön, bland dem en bronsstaty av Sapfo som stått i rådhuset i Syrakusa. Vid återkomsten till Rom väntade rättegång. Den då unge och lovande advokaten Cicero kallade just denna staty till tyst vittne i sina tal mot Verres. Hur djupt den stulna Sapfostatyn saknats kan knappt beskrivas. Nu finns bara inskriften på den tomma statybasen kvar, som berättar om vad som funnits där, men samtidigt visar att det är försvunnet, dundrade Cicero. Verres hade senare försökt dölja sitt brott genom att avlägsna även statybasen, som stod kvar som vittne till stölden, men överbevisades och dömdes. Vi vet att statyn var ett hellenistiskt arbete, men inte hur den såg ut. Hur såg Sapfo ut? Sokrates kallar henne skön, Ovidius kallar henne ful. Vad visste de? Och vad vet vi? Vår kunskap om Sapfo liknar den tomma statybasen på Sicilien: vi vet att hon funnits, men att hon är förlorad. Fragment 168 B Månen har gått ned nu och plejaderna. Midnatt är passerad. Tiden rinner och jag ligger ensam. Den fragmentariska kroppen och den fragmentariska texten. Konstnären Anselm Kiefers verk Sapfo visar en tom, böljande klänning som bär upp en hög hopslagna böcker av bly. Kroppens frånvaro, textens närvaro. Textens otillgänglighet speglad i den fysiska frånvaron. Är det inte detta som är poesins kärna? Dikten hjälper oss att hantera längtan och skräck, glömska och frånvaro, och den förlust som är inbyggd i våra egna kroppar. Kanske är det därför Sapfos poesi talar så starkt till oss: inte trots sin ofullständighet, utan på grund av den. Den längtan som drev fram dikten blir än mer betonad genom bokstävernas balansgång på randen till utradering. Dagens åtrå, morgondagens minne. Men dikterna andas på nytt varje gång en läsare sammanfogar dess kroppsdelar. Fragment 147 Jag säger dig, man kommer att minnas oss i framtiden Anna Blennow, latinforskare Essän sändes första gången i april 2017.

Hon förhåller sig inte till ett original, utan till en kopia av en kopia. Utan någon sanning i botten. Så beskriver Kristofer Folkhammar den kanadensiska författaren Anne Carsons poesi. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän publicerades den 5 maj 2015. För någon månad sedan stod jag och trängdes på ett utsålt Vega i Köpenhamn. Stämningen var i det närmaste extatisk när Sharon Needles, Adore Delano, Bianca del Rio och de andra dragdrottningarna från teve-programmet RuPauls Dragrace äntrade scenen. RuPauls Dragrace är en dokusåpa i stil med Top Model och Project Runway fast för drag queens. I varje avsnitt ska deltagarna skapa dragunderhållning utifrån nya utmaningar, och i varje avsnitt skickas en drottning hem efter ett läppsynk-battle. I slutet av varje säsong koras "Amerikas nästa dragsuperstjärna" av draglegenden RuPaul personligen. Programmet vilar såklart på samma fundament som andra dokusåpor: individualistiska skitdrömmar om den enskildes framgång, och bitchiga intriger mellan de tävlande. Men här anas också emellanåt ett systerskap arbetsrummet bakom catwalkpodiet i RuPauls Dragrace är inte bara en kokande kittel av rivalitet, utan också en plats där utstötta freaks från olika samhällsklasser möts och blir superstjärnor istället för mobboffer. Och dragshowen, när den är riktigt bra, fungerar både som en populärkulturens skrattspegel, och som en kritisk instans, när den genom sina teatrala överdrifter lyckas vända upp och ner på, och avtäcka bristerna i, de konventioner som iscensätts på scenen: könsroller, stereotypa karaktärer och manér. Den kanadensiska författaren Anne Carson arbetar också med drag, fast i poesins form. Som professor i klassisk grekiska har hon en självklar koppling till fragmentetestetik den lösgjorda delen som flyttats genom tid och rum för att tolkas och traderas på nytt. Carson har gett ut böcker sedan 1980-talet. Dikter, essäer, översättningar, skådespel och ofta blandar hon mellan stilarterna. På svenska finns hittills tre böcker översatta, och två av dem hänger ihop. Röd självbiografi, som gavs ut på engelska 1998, och Röd doc, som kom femton år senare. I dessa böcker utgår Carson från den antika myten om hjälten Herakles tionde stordåd: att hämta den trehövdade jätten Geryons röda boskap. I myten besegrar Herakles Geryon med våld, men i Carsons tappning krossar Herakles Geryons hjärta. I ett poröst utformat landskap, som är en blandning mellan mytens röda ö och något som skulle kunna vara ett samtida Kanada, är Geryon ett förvirrat barn, och sedermera en förälskad tonåring. Den tafatte Geryon försöker greppa sin plats i världen genom en märklig självbiografi, bestående av skulpturer, fotografier och anteckningar. Men en natt kliver Herakles av bussen från New Mexico och monsterpojken Geryon förlorar allt. Inför den ständigt bortvända James Dean-vagabonden Herakles, som strålar av säkerhet och sex. I Röd doc återser det forna kärleksparet varandra efter många år. Geryon har övergivit sin självbiografi men har fortfarande nära till smärtan från kärleksförlusten. Han heter bara G nu. Och han längtar efter Marcel Prousts romansvit På spaning efter den tid som flytt alltså, han längtar efter den text, det objekt, som förmått göra skön konst av det som gått förlorat. Herakles har varit i krig och bytt namn till Sad But Great Sorgsen men mäktig, eller framstående, och lider av posttraumatisk stress. I den här berättelsen är han ännu mer igenkännbar som en amerikansk, samtida gestalt. Tillsammans med en ny karaktär, Ida, som verkar ha kommit springande till dem från en Gertrude Stein-roman, flyter karaktärerna iväg på en sorts roadtrip. Via en isgrotta där det förgångna kan tänkas bevarat i den stelnade massan, en psykiatrisk klinik där det förflutna kan grävas fram. Resan bär mot döden. Till Geryons älskade mors sjukbädd. En del av njutningen med att läsa Carson ligger i hur hon med så radikal oförutsägbarhet sammanför olika genrer och olika tider. I sin poesi går hon emot konventioner som säger att enheter som antika myter, Emily Brontës romaner och hennes egen vardag är ofrånkomligt uppdelade. Hennes poesi går emot konventionen som tar dessa enheter för ofrånkomligt avskilda från varandra av en naturlig ordning. På ungefär samma sätt beskriver queerteoretikern Judith Butler hur förhållandet mellan kön och genus kan dramatiseras och avnaturaliseras i en drag-performance. Carson förhåller sig inte till ett original, utan till en kopia av en kopia. Utan någon sanning i botten. Och att läsa samman Carson med drag-estetik är att starkt påminnas om hur mycket det litterära konceptet "genre" har gemensamt med det sociologiska konceptet "identitet". Det var Carsons svenska översättare, Mara Lee, som under en föreläsning gjorde mig uppmärksam på drag-estetiken i Carsons verk. Men då genom den feministiska teoretikern Elizabeth Freemans begrepp "temporal drag" ett uttryck som Freeman använder när hon undersöker konstverk som går emot en enkel, linjär historieskrivning. Konstverk där det förflutna och nutiden pågår samtidigt. Och där politiska kamper som kan förefalla avslutade, som till exempel ACT UP-rörelsens kamp för vård till aidssjuka i USA under 1980-talet används för att osäkra betraktarens upplevelse av nuet. Och kanske till och med få den att föreställa sig möjliga framtider i ljuset av omvälvande historiska händelser. Tillbakablickarna i verk som arbetar med "temporal drag" blir inte så mycket nostalgi, som möjligheter, idéer om andra ordningar. Carsons poesi drar oss bakåt i tiden, får oss att hålla fast i något främmande, något som inte passar in i samtiden, som inte låter sig integreras, och som därför visar saker i nytt ljus. Röd självbiografi: "I mötet med en annan människa får ens egna handlingar skärpa". Det säger något om Carsons estetik, och här skulle "människa" kunna bytas ut mot tid: "I mötet med en annan tid får den egna tillvaron skärpa." Och när jag stod där i trängseln på Vega. Med Carsons böcker Röd självbiografi och Röd doc i huvudet, och betraktade den stundtals gnistrande dragshowen framstod Carsons skrivsätt som direkt överensstämmande. Här fanns samma känsla av konstnärlig möjlighet. Samma lockelse genom förskjutning och omkastning. Samma vassa tajming i kvickheterna. Där och då framstod det som om endast idiomen och rekvisitan skilde Anne Carson och RuPauls Dragrace åt. Istället för peruker: hjältar ur antik mytologi. Istället för klackar: citat av Emily Dickinson. Istället för lösnaglar: psykoanalys. Trots att Anne Carson är en spränglärd professor, bär hennes texter på samma ystra lätthet som en dragshow. Hennes stil är klar. Hennes iscensättningar lätta. Hon låter de antika gestalterna säga "kuk" och referera till "Dunkin' Donuts". Herakles har en mormor som en gång träffade Virginia Woolf. Men det finns också en skarp gräns kring dessa omflyttningar och sammanfogningar. Professor Carson lämnar sällan sitt eget klassrum. Nästan allt material hon arbetar med utgår från en mycket västerländsk bildningstradition. Och kanske är det detta som möjliggör en del av Carsons lätthet. Att hon trots allt rör sig på ett begränsat fält, i ett universum där saker enkelt hakar i varandra olika tider, javisst, men definitivt delar av samma kanon. Carson är en humoristisk, och alltid djupt melankolisk drag poet. Hennes ommöblerande diktföreställningar är mångtydiga, men aldrig godtyckliga, precis som med den lyckade dragshowen. Carson är trots yvigheten ofta spot on. För hur känner sig egentligen den vilsne tonårsbögen? Jo, som ett rött monster med knöliga vingar som inte förmår bära honom. Eller: Hur känns den språkliga erfarenhet, som säger att vi aldrig helt möts i våra enskilda förnimmelser? Hur ser din färg rött ut?, som Sonja Åkesson, och Ludwig Wittgenstein hade uttryckt saken. För mig är rött färgernas färg. De starka känslorna, de alarmerande situationerna, det som står ut. Stoppljus. Varningstriangel. Solens sista döende strålar. Röda dagar i almanackan. Röd matta. Red light district. Rödluvans kappa i den mörka skogen. Röd ros. Att se rött. Eld. Djävul. Vrede. Revolution. Hjärta. Kärlek. Krig. Blod. Men Carsons böcker är stilla, koncentrerade. Hennes röda monster är sorgset och eftertänksamt. På ett ställe i Röd självbiografi står det, när Herakles och Geryon möts för första gången, att där uppstod "ett sådant ögonblick som är motsatsen till blindhet." En formulering som präglar hela Carsons röda dragshow: En sådan stark färg. Ett sådant avslöjande iscensättande. Ett sådant språkarbete, som gör orden nästan taktila, relief-artade, genom textens tvära brott och sätt att överraska. I hur det outhärdligt röda gräset överfaller Geryon på väg till skolan. I tomaten han gör en skulptur av till sin självbiografi. I hans vallmostjälk till hals. Och när en antik hjälte som Herakles, som är en avlägsen och ofarlig sagobild för oss idag, en stelnad prototyp, sänks ner i nutiden uppstår ett kalas av språkliga effekter. Genom sin poetiska drag upplyser dikten oss om att den där absurda hjältefiguren, som kan te sig så fjärran, fortfarande lever och verkar i exempelvis amerikansk militärism, och i alla möjliga bilder av män.

"I had an inner certainty that I was on the right path in my life—the path God had chosen for me. Great things were going to happen in my life, and I had to do my part by preparing myself and being ready." ~Ben Carson What if we just assumed that God has a specific path for us? What if we knew that "great things were going to happen in our lives"? Would we see our lives differently? Would we see ourselves differently? By the time Ben Carson was in his early 20's, there was no question in his mind that God had big plans for him and that it was his job to put in the work and prepare himself thoroughly. How as this made possible? Because of his mother! Ben could never have become the man he became or had the influence in the world he now has without the determination, vision, encouragement and hard work of his mother.  This family is an incredible model for us to follow through all the 7 Laws of Life Mission -- as they devoted their lives to God, cared for themselves, embraced truth and educated themselves out of poverty and into the highest offices in the country!

Both problems created serious stigmas at the time. Mother not only had to cope with providing a home and making a living to support us, but most of her friends disappeared when she needed them most…'I just decided that I had to go about my own business,' Mother once told me, ‘and ignore what people said.' She did, but it couldn't have been easy.” “Of course, mother worked. Constantly. She seldom had much free time, but she showered that time on Curtis and me, which made up for the hours she was away…No matter how tired she was, if we were still up when she got home, mother didn't fail to ask about school.” “‘That's what I want to do,' I said to my mother as we walked home. ‘I want to be a doctor. Can I be a doctor, mother? ‘Bennie,' she said, ‘listen to me.' We stopped walking and mother stared into my eyes. Then laying her hands on my thin shoulders, she said, ‘If you ask the Lord for something and believe He will do it, then it'll happen.' ‘I believe I can be a doctor.' “Then, Bennie, you will be a doctor,' she said matter-of=factly, and we started to walk on again.” “Mother had a goal in mind…she planned to go back and reclaim the house we'd lived in…'Boys,' she told us as the weeks and months passed, ‘just wait. We're going back to outhouse on Deacon Street. We may not be able to afford living in it now, but we'll make it. In the meantime, we can still use the rent we get from it.' Not a day passed that mother didn't talk about going home. Determination burned in her eyes, and I never doubted that we would.” “My mother worked two and three jobs at a time…She was especially interested in the people, because most of the time she worked for the wealthy. She'd come home and tell us, ‘This is what wealthy people do. This is how successful people behave. Here's how they think.' She constantly drilled this kind of information into my brother and me. ‘Now you boys can do it too,' she'd say with a smile adding, and you can do it better!'” “'I've decided you boys are watching too much television,' she said one evening, snapping off the set in the middle of a program…From now on,

Rachel Carsons bok "Tyst vår" kom 1962 och innebar starten på den moderna miljörörelsen. Hennes faktaspäckade uppgörelse med de kemiska bekämpningsmedlen och dess tillskyndare, förändrade världen. Få böcker har gjort så stor skillnad som Rachel Carsons Tyst vår som kom 1962. Boken som var en bestseller, innebar den moderna miljörörelsens födelse. Det Carson och hennes forskarkolleger upptäckte, var att de kemiska medel som användes för ogräsbekämpning och utrotning av skadeinsekter var förödande även för övrigt växt- och djurliv. Bokens titel Tyst vår är alltså bokstavlig, vandringstrastarna låg döda under träden och fågelsången tystnade som en konsekvens av besprutningarna. I år är det femtio år sedan DDT förbjöds i Sverige. 1972 stoppades giftet i USA, mycket tack vare Carsons bok och debatten som följde. I veckans klassiker om "Tyst vår" medverkar också biologen och författaren Göran Bergengren, senast aktuell med boken "Meningen med bin". Han konstaterar att "Tyst vår" är världens viktigaste bok och han har burit den med sig ändå sedan 1963 då boken kom på svenska. På den tiden var en ung, arg fältbiolog som strök under var och varannan rad i denna sammanbitna stridsskrift som förändrade världen. Nina Asarnoj nina.asarnoj@sr.se

Utropstecknet kan både signalera ilska och glädje. Kulturskribenten Kristina Lindquist berättar utifrån egna erfarenheter om hur det också kan representera något mycket större än så. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. det väller liksom fram en flod av grönska, av blad   barr och fågelsång! Se där en talande rad ur Eva-Stina Byggmästars diktsamling Barrskogarnas barn från 2014. I Byggmästars skogar finns inga skuggor, bara en yster och naivistisk naturlyrik från första till sista sidan och just det: en massa utropstecken. Får poesi verkligen se ut såhär? Så uppsluppen! skrev Svenska dagbladets kritiker Therese Eriksson i sin recension. För utropstecknet är ganska sällsynt i den kulturella offentligheten, och något av ett svart får i skriftspråket överhuvudtaget. Ända sedan 1800-talet har det enligt språkforskaren Siv Strömquist varnats för detta stöddiga skiljetecken, som inte sällan beskrivs som skrikigt och vulgärt. Jag minns hur en bekant som arbetade med att besvara allmänhetens brev på Rosenbad fick instruktionen att ersätta det alldeles korrekta utropstecknet i hälsningsfraserna med ett komma utropstecknet var helt enkelt för familjärt för statsförvaltningen. Och i TT-språkets skrivregler konstateras bara helt kort att utropstecknet bör användas sparsamt. utropstecknets explicita tydlighet ställs mot ett rådande stilideal som upphöjer det vaga och outtalade. För tio år sedan skrev den brittiska journalisten Stuart Jeffries i The Guardian om en renässans för utropstecknet i den digitala tidsålderns kommunikation, där detta skiljetecken kan innebära den stora skillnaden mellan det avmätta och det förtjusta. Vi ses på konferensen [utropstecken] förmedlar något helt annat än Vi ses på konferensen [punkt]. Forskning visar också att kvinnor använder utropstecken i högre utsträckning än män, vilket språkforskaren Carol Waseleski förklarar med att utropstecknet kan utstråla vänlighet vilket alltså anses utmärkande för kvinnors sätt att kommunicera. Men utropstecknets status som det mest förtalade bland skiljetecken rubbas nog inte så lätt. Det är en flåsig gaphals vi talar om som gjord för det militära eller för samtidens råbarkade debatter i kommentarsfält och på Twitter. Jeffries tar i sin artikel upp kriminalförfattaren Elmore Leonard, som sagt att två eller tre utropstecken per hundratusen ord prosa möjligen kan passera, vilket innebär ungefär ett per medellång roman. Fantasyförfattaren Terry Pratchett låter en av sina romanfigurer säga att fler än ett i följd av detta skiljetecken är ett uttryck för en sjuk hjärna, medan F.  Scott Fitzgerald ansåg att den som överhuvudtaget använder det lika gärna kan skratta åt sina egna skämt. Herrarna har nog en poäng, och samtidigt kan utropstecknet som fenomen bevisligen ligga till grund både för litterär intrig och tidlös komedi. I den klassiska komediserien Seinfeld kraschar förhållandet mellan Elaine och hennes författarkille för att han inte använder utropstecken i ett nedskrivet telefonmeddelande om en nyfödd bebis i bekantskapskretsen. Hon tycker att han struntar i hennes vänner, han tycker att hon är lite väl slampig med sina skiljetecken. I ett avsnitt av Sex and the city förvandlas ett utlovat utropstecken till ett frågetecken på omslaget till  New York Magazine, som pryds av en osmickrande bild av huvudpersonen Carrie. Tidningsrubriken Singel och fantastisk? formulerat som en fråga snarare än med utropstecknets sköna självsäkerhet får Carrie att ifrågasätta hela sin sorglösa livsstil. Utropstecknet är alltså ett tecken som både väcker och uttrycker känslor, och känslor får väl generellt sägas ha ganska låg status i vårt samhälle. Men kanske handlar frågan också om att utropstecknets explicita tydlighet ställs mot ett rådande stilideal som upphöjer det vaga och outtalade. I en illustrativ passage i romanen Argonauterna fastnar författaren Maggie Nelson vid de tomma hakparenteser som den inflytelserika författaren Anne Carson gett som skriftliga intervjusvar i en tidning  och som signalerar ett slags tyst och sofistikerad återhållsamhet. Nelson skriver: Åsynen av Carsons hakparenteser fick mig genast att skämmas för min tvångsmässiga drift att lägga korten mer bestämt på bordet. Men ju mer jag tänkte på hakparenteserna, desto mer störde de mig. De tycktes göra en fetisch av det osagda. Utropstecknet lägger verkligen korten bestämt på bordet, och tvingar fram ställningstaganden i en tid när det värsta man kan vara är tvärsäker alldeles oavsett vad man är tvärsäker på. På senare tid har så kallad samtalsaktivism blivit på modet, det vill säga tekniken att genom diskussion och möten försöka motverka polarisering i samhället. Här tycks förmågan att förflytta sig vara viktigare än att syna innehållet i de inte sällan extrema åsikter som genom denna typ av samtal erbjuds en plattform. Rörligheten i ståndpunkter blir närmast ett bevis för ett rörligt intellekt, och då finns inte plats för några rigida utropstecken. All förundran är borta med honom, liksom den kraft som utropstecknet för med sig till det skrivna språket mellan människorna. Men låt oss återvända till känslorna. I den tidiga novellen Utropstecknet skildrar Anton Tjechov en statstjänsteman som vid juletid konfronteras med att han under 40 yrkesår aldrig har använt ett utropstecken: Fördömt! När använder man egentligen utropstecken? Den grammatiskt skolade hustrun får hjälpa till: Vid hälsningar och utrop och vid uttryck för jubel, indignation och ilska, upplyser hon. Den osalige tjänstemannen jagas av sina utropstecken, och ser hur människor omkring honom förvandlas till långa streck med en punkt under. För tänk om han på 40 år inte har upplevt en enda känsla som förtjänat ett utropstecken vad säger det om hans liv? Jag tror eller rättare sagt: jag vet  att det också kan gå åt andra hållet, så att de starkaste av känslor kan kortsluta användningen av detta känslotecken. Den grönländska poeten Naja Marie Aidt beskriver i den prosalyriska romanen Har döden tagit något ifrån dig så ge det tillbaka om hur sorgen efter hennes vuxna son slog sönder all syntax och begriplighet i hennes formuleringar. inget språk möjligt språk dog med mitt barn, skriver hon i en lång ordmassa helt utan skiljetecken. När mitt eget barn dog hände det något med mina utropstecken, och specifikt med dem. Utropstecknen försvann ur all skriven kommunikation, och har ännu inte återvänt. Det handlar inte bara om brist på glädje och entusiasm, utan om något som kanske står att finna i utropstecknets historiska rötter. I vår äldsta bevarade handledning i användandet av skiljetecken talas det om förundringstecken, eller punctus admirativus. Utropstecknet hör i sitt ursprung alltså hemma inför skapelsens och varats mirakel. Och för den som sett all sådan skönhet i sin nyfödda sons knubbiga ansikte finns ingen förundran kvar på jorden, inte sedan han skickats iväg för gravsättning i en mönstrad pyjamas. All förundran är borta med honom, liksom den kraft som utropstecknet för med sig till det skrivna språket mellan människorna. Annat är det i nattens ordlösa klagan, där utropstecknen kastas mot en tom himmel utan svar. Jag läser Jobs bok i Gamla testamentet, och dess berättelse om mannen som inte bara förlorar sina barn och allt han äger utan också drabbas av svåra sjukdomar. Här finns naturligt nog en hel del förtvivlade utropstecken: Ropa bara! Finns det någon som svarar?, som det står i femte kapitlet. Och lite längre fram: Om jag tänker: 'Det lättar när jag lagt mig, sömnen skall lindra min sorg', då skrämmer du mig med drömmar, förfärar mig med syner, så att jag hellre vill kvävas. Hellre döden än denna plåga! För utropstecknet må vara en flåsig gaphals som skrattar åt sina egna skämt i den politiska polariseringens tid. Men det kan också både i sin närvaro och i sin frånvaro bära på ett möjligt språk för det mänskliga livets yttersta gränser.
