Consideremos entonces las pruebas en forma razonable. No pasemos por ellas murmurando y descontentos. No cometamos errores al querer librarnos de ellas. En el tiempo de prueba debemos aferrarnos a Dios y a sus promesas. Algunos me han preguntado: "¿No se desanima usted cuando experimenta pruebas?" Y yo les he contestado: "Si por desánimo usted quiere decir tristeza o abatimiento, sí me desanimo". "¿No le ha hablado usted a nadie de sus sentimientos?" "No; hay un tiempo para el silencio, un tiempo para mantener la lengua como con una rienda, y yo estaba decidida a no pronunciar ninguna palabra de duda o de oscuridad, para no ensombrecer con la melancolía a aquellos con quienes me asociaba. Me he dicho a mí misma: Soportaré el fuego del Refinador; no seré consumida. Cuando hable, hablaré de luz; hablaré de fe y esperanza en Dios; hablaré de justicia, de bondad, de amor a Cristo mi Salvador; hablaré para dirigir las mentes de otros hacia el cielo y las cosas celestiales, hacia la obra que Cristo hace en el cielo por nosotros y hacia la obra que nosotros hacemos aquí en la tierra por él". El horno del Refinador tiene que quitar la escoria. Cuando el Refinador vea su imagen reflejada perfectamente en vosotros, os sacará del horno. No seréis dejados para ser consumidos, o para soportar la prueba ígnea más de lo que sea necesario para vuestra purificación. Pero para reflejar la imagen divina es necesario que vosotros os sometáis al proceso que el Refinador ha elegido para vosotros, para que seáis limpiados, purificados, y para que desaparezca toda mancha y arruga —ni un solo defecto debe quedar en vuestro carácter cristiano. Que el Señor os ayude a permitir que la voluntad y la obra de Dios se cumplan en vosotros. Entonces... seréis una luz en vuestro hogar, un rayo de sol... ¡Mirad hacia arriba! Jesús vive, Jesús ama, Jesús se compadece, y él os recibirá con toda vuestra carga de cuidado y perplejidad si acudís a él y depositáis vuestra carga sobre él. Él ha prometido que nunca dejará u olvidará a aquellos que colocan su confianza en él (Nuestra elevada vocación, 2 de noviembre, p. 314). Confíe en el Señor con todo el corazón, y él nunca la va a defraudar. Si le pide ayuda a Dios, no lo hará en vano. Para animarnos a tener confianza se acerca a nosotros por medio de su Santa Palabra y su Espíritu, y trata de lograrlo de mil maneras. Pero en nada se deleita más que en recibir al débil que acude a él en procura de fortaleza. Si quisiéramos encontrar corazón y voz para orar, ciertamente él encontraría oídos para oír y un brazo para salvar. No se conoce un solo caso en que Dios haya ocultado su rostro para no oír las súplicas de su pueblo. Cuando todo otro recurso falló, él fue siempre un pronto auxilio en cada emergencia. ¡Quiera Dios bendecirla, querida alma pobre, sacudida y maltratada! Aférrese de su mano; no la suelte. La llevará a usted, a sus hijos y todas sus penas y pesares, si está dispuesta a depositarlos sobre él (Cada día con Dios, 4 de julio, p. 192). VIERNES, 19 DE DICIEMBRE: PARA ESTUDIAR Y MEDITARConflicto y valor, "Las primeras cosas en primer lugar", 30 de diciembre, p. 370.

Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys)  Jim Herzfeld (Meet The Parents/Fockers), Fred Dekker (Preditor), & David Silverman (The Simpsons) reminisce about their college hangout that became the social group that supported their life and art for the rest of their lives.  They describe a house full of UCLA film nerds with a 24 hour open house policy.  It was young guys finding themselves and their drive and their fun by making a scene in the early 1980's. Movie watching, game playing, movie making, and joking around led to a group of people that has made some of the biggest films of the last 30 years.  Bio: JIM HERZFELD is an American film and television screenwriter who has also done work as a television producer. Herzfeld graduated from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) and his earliest TV credit – on the ground breaking “It's Garry Shandling's Show” -- was followed by almost 10 years of writing and producing episodes on dozens of sitcom staffs, including the Fox TV classic "Married... With Children." Herzfeld's earliest feature film work was a writing credit on the cult comedy “Tapeheads“ in 1988. His most successful work was writing the screenplay for the 2000 film” Meet the Parents” as well as writing the story and screenplay for its 2004 sequel “Meet the Fockers.” To date, both those films remain on the list of the 20 Highest Grossest Comedies. More recently, in 2015 his screenplay for “Meet the Parents” was selected by the Writer's Guild of America's as one of the “101 Funniest Screenplays” of all time. Herzfeld was also the writer of the canceled Circle 7 Animation version of Toy Story 3 and has done countless punch-up and rewrites on dozens of big budget comedies and animated films for virtually every major studio.  Herzfeld has also guest lectured about screenwriting at several major universities, including NYU, UCLA and AFI along with appearing on writer panels at various film festivals, most notably the Austin Film Festival where Jim was a judge for their Comedy Screenplay Competition. Currently, Herzfeld continues to write and develop comedy screenplays and recently became an advisor for Scripthop, a software startup focused on revolutionizing how screenplays are both presented and circulated throughout the entertainment industry. FRED DEKKER - Pursuing a movie career, he moved to Los Angeles where his fledgling screenwriting efforts led to a Hollywood agent and a job writing Godzilla: King of the Monsters for director Steve Miner. Although the film went unproduced, Dekker provided the story for Miner's 1985 horror-comedy House, starring William Katt (screenplay by Ethan Wiley). The film was recognized by the Fantasporto and the Avoriaz Film Festivals, and spawned several sequels. Dekker made his directorial debut with Night of the Creeps, an homage to B-movies that eventually developed a devoted cult following. He went on to direct another cult favorite, The Monster Squad, co-written with his UCLA friend Shane Black. He subsequently wrote five episodes of Tales From The Crypt, including the first episode, directed by Robert Zemeckis. In 1991, Dekker conceived the Denzel Washington starrer Ricochet and the spy spoof If Looks Could Kill, both for Warner Bros. He then returned to the director's chair for the third RoboCop film, co-written with comic book legend Frank Miller. As a script doctor, Dekker made uncredited contributions to films including Titan A.E. and Lethal Weapon 4. He then served as Consulting Producer and wrote three episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. In 2015, he reteamed with Shane Black on a western TV pilot for Amazon Studios, entitled Edge. The two went on to co-write the 2018 release The Predator, which Black also directed. Dekker's international awards include the Silver Raven from the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film; the Estrella de Fantastico Award from the 2019 Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival; and the 2024 Honorary Time Machine Award (Premi Màquina del Temps) at the Sitges Film Festival for his contributions to horror and fantasy cinema. He is currently developing a true crime limited series for Amazon based on a murder which occurred in his hometown.SHANE BLACK is a writer/director whose writing credits include such films as Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight and The Monster Squad.  He began as a director in 2005 with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and receives increasingly strident sequel requests for 2016's The Nice Guys.  He is currently writing a spec original and trying to lose some weight by New Years'.  Not that he's fat -- he's just old, and being careful.DAVID SILVERMAN After graduating from UCLA in 1983, David Silverman worked as a freelance illustrator and animator until, in 1987, he landed a job animating on The Tracey Ullman Show — where The Simpsons began. Animating on all 48 shorts led to David directing the first shows of The Simpsons. Starting with the Christmas Special in December 1989, and then the premiere episode the following month, David soon became Supervising Animation Director and a producer on The Simpsons. All told, he has directed 24 episodes and has won 4 Emmys along the way.  When no one was looking, David snuck away from The Simpsons to work at DreamWorks (The Road to El Dorado – co-director), Pixar (Monsters, Inc. – co-director), and Blue Sky (Ice Age, Robots – writing and boarding). But, he came back to the show full-time at the end of 2003 and directed The Simpsons Movie. In 2012, David directed and co-wrote the short film The Longest Daycare about Maggie Simpson, which earned him an Academy Award nomination.And since the Disney acquisition of The Simpsons (via the purchase of Fox), David has directed 10 Simpsons shorts especially for Disney+, as well as several promotional pieces.Editing Notes: There are many verbal cuts on the show we directed to Dan. Also after the show, Shane Black emailed and ask we cut out this.  I say “It's nice your place was a rape free environment” and Shane says something like: “But not rape free for guys,”. He wants his comment cut.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES, 17 DE DICIEMBRELA IRA DEL SEÑOREn una visión de noche, yo estaba sobre una altura desde donde veía las casas sacudirse como el viento sacude los juncos. Los edificios, grandes y pequeños, se derrumbaban. Los sitios de recreo, los teatros, hoteles y palacios suntuosos eran conmovidos y derribados. Muchas vidas eran destruidas y los lamentos de los heridos y aterrorizados llenaban el espacio. Los ángeles destructores, enviados por Dios, estaban obrando. Un simple toque, y los edificios construidos tan sólidamente que los hombres tenían por resguardados de todo peligro, quedaban reducidos a un montón de escombros. Ninguna seguridad había en parte alguna... No puedo describir las escenas terribles que se desarrollaron ante mi vista. Era como si la paciencia de Dios se hubiese agotado y hubiese llegado el día del juicio. Entonces el ángel que estaba a mi lado me dijo que muy pocas personas se dan cuenta de la maldad que reina en el mundo hoy, especialmente en las ciudades grandes. Declaró que el Señor ha fijado un tiempo cuando su ira castigará a los transgresores por su persistente menoscabo de su ley... La soberanía de Dios, el carácter sagrado de su ley, deben ser manifestados a los que rehúsan obstinadamente obedecer al Rey de reyes. Los que prefieran quedar infieles habrán de ser heridos por los juicios misericordiosos, a fin de que, si posible fuere, lleguen a percatarse de la culpabilidad de su conducta... Aunque el divino Soberano soporte con paciencia la maldad, no puede ser engañado, y no callará para siempre. Su autoridad y supremacía como Príncipe del universo, deben ser reconocidas, y las justas demandas de su ley vindicadas. Hasta la tolerancia de Dios tiene límites, y muchos están superándolos. Han sobrepasado los límites de la gracia, y por lo tanto Dios debe intervenir y vindicar su propio honor... Cuando el Señor salga como vengador, vendrá también como protector de todos aquellos que hayan conservado la fe en su pureza y se hayan mantenido sin mancha del mundo (La maravillosa gracia de Dios, 12 de febrero, p. 51). Aquellos que rindieron el informe desalentador e inundaron de desánimo el campamento de Israel al sentir oposición a su testimonio negativo e ilegítimo, sirvieron a los poderes satánicos rebelándose abiertamente. Y arrastraron consigo a la congregación devastada anímicamente para que adoptaran la visión que ellos tenían de la tierra. La congregación tomó el lado errado e, inspirada por agentes satánicos, se alzaron contra los espías fieles y pidieron que se lapidara a Josué y Caleb quienes se atrevieron a presentar una visión genuina de aquella tierra. Sin embargo, siempre hay una defensa que se extiende en favor de quienes han sido testigos de la verdad. ¿Qué fue lo que salvó las vidas de Josué y Caleb? "Pero la gloria de Jehová se mostró en el tabernáculo de reunión ante todos los hijos de Israel"...Hay aquí una evidencia positiva: la ira del Señor se manifestó en contra de este sector faccioso, quienes habían sido bendecidos con gran luz y preciosas oportunidades de conocer la voluntad de Dios que les había sido comunicada por Cristo mismo, el dirigente invisible, quien estaba envuelto en la columna de nube durante el día y en la columna de fuego durante la noche (El Cristo triunfante, 22 de abril, p. 121). 

Engineered stone, or quartz, is a man-made material made with high concentrations of silica that is commonly used to make kitchen countertops in the U.S.  But doctors are seeing more and more workers in the countertop industry developing silicosis, an often deadly lung disease linked to inhaling toxic dust the material releases when powercut. Even though California has safety rules in place to reduce the risk to workers, some say it's time to ban the use of engineered stone altogether.

Jana Byars meets one of her academic heroes when Ulinka Rublack joins her to talk about Dürer's Coats: Renaissance Men and Material Cultures of Social Recognition (Routledge, 2025). During the Renaissance, clothing became more and more elaborately decorated and expensive. It often emphasised the privilege of the male elite. Yet clothing could also subvert or reshape conventional cultural norms. This book draws on the case of Albrecht Dürer to examine Renaissance male outerwear as a key element of signalling communication in everyday life. The recognised artist fought for the esteem of urban creators. In asserting his dignity and taste, outerwear was particularly important to Dürer and his time. Ulinka Rublack argues that cloaks and gowns gained in importance during this period and were among the things that mediated social relationships for centuries to come. An investigation into outerwear opens a new window into how people and things were connected in the Renaissance and how important clothing was in shaping subjectivities in everyday life. Using the example of Dürer and his wife as emerging social types, the study follows the artist and the men and women of his time through the streets of Venice, Nuremberg, Augsburg and Antwerp. It poses pressing questions about Albrecht Dürer's entanglement in unequal networks of global trade and the German Renaissance Atlantic. Learn more about your ad choices.

Politics of Tranquility: The Material and Mundane Lives of Buddhist Nuns in Post-Mao Tibet (Cornell University Press, 2025) concerns the Tibetan Buddhist revival in China, illustrating the lives of Tibetan Buddhist nuns and exploring the political effects that arise from their nonpolitical daily engagements in the remote, mega-sized Tibetan Buddhist encampment of Yachen Gar. Yasmin Cho's book challenges two assumptions about Tibetan Buddhist communities in China. First, against the assumption that a Buddhist monastic community is best understood in terms of its esoteric qualities, Cho focuses on the material and mundane daily practices that are indispensable to the existence and persistence of such a community and shows how deeply gendered these practices are. Second, against the assumption that Tibetan politics toward the Chinese state is best understood as rebellious, incendiary, and centered upon Tibetan victimhood, the nuns demonstrate how it can be otherwise. Tibetan politics can be unassuming, calm, and self-contained and yet still have substantial political effects. As Politics of Tranquility shows, the nuns in Yachen Gar have called forth an alternative way of living and expressing themselves as Tibetans and as female monastics despite a repressive context. ------------------ Jing Li teaches Chinese language, literature, and cinema.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES, 16 DE DICIEMBRELÍMITES DEFINIDOSCristo fue el fundamento de todo el sistema judío. La muerte de Abel fue una consecuencia de no haber aceptado Caín el plan de Dios en la escuela de la obediencia para ser salvado por la sangre de Jesucristo, simbolizada por las ofrendas de sacrificio que señalaban a Cristo. Caín rehusó la efusión de sangre que simbolizaba la sangre de Cristo que había de ser derramada por el mundo. Toda esta ceremonia fue preparada por Dios, y Cristo vino a ser el fundamento de todo el sistema. Este es el comienzo de la obra de la ley como el ayo que lleva a los instrumentos humanos pecaminosos a considerar a Cristo como el fundamento de todo el sistema judío. Todos los que servían en relación con el Santuario eran educados constantemente acerca de la intervención de Cristo a favor de la raza humana. Ese servicio tenía el propósito de crear en cada corazón amor por la ley de Dios, que es la ley del reino divino. Las ofrendas de sacrificios habían de ser una lección objetiva del amor de Dios revelado en Cristo: en la víctima doliente, moribunda, que tomó sobre sí el pecado del cual era culpable el hombre, haciéndose pecado el Inocente por nosotros. En la contemplación de este gran tema de la salvación, vemos la obra de Cristo. No solo el don prometido del Espíritu sino también la naturaleza y el carácter de ese sacrificio y de esa mediación son temas que debieran crear en nuestro corazón ideas elevadas, sagradas y sublimes de la ley de Dios, que sigue en vigencia para todos los seres humanos. La violación de esa ley en el pequeño acto de comer del fruto prohibido trajo sobre el hombre y sobre la tierra la consecuencia de la desobediencia a la santa ley de Dios. La naturaleza de la mediación siempre debiera hacer al hombre temeroso de incurrir en el más pequeño acto de desobediencia a los requisitos de Dios. Debiera haber una clara comprensión de lo que significa el pecado y debiéramos evitar la más pequeña aproximación que nos induzca a cruzar las fronteras entre la obediencia y la desobediencia. Dios quiere que cada miembro de su creación entienda la gran obra del infinito Hijo de Dios al dar su vida por la salvación del mundo. "Mirad cuál amor nos ha dado el Padre, para que seamos llamados hijos de Dios; por esto el mundo no nos conoce, porque no le conoció a él". 1 Juan 3:1 (Mensajes selectos, t. 1, pp. 274, 275). La paciencia de Dios ha concluido. El mundo ha rechazado su misericordia, despreciado su amor y pisoteado su ley. Los malos han concluido su tiempo de prueba; el Espíritu de Dios, al que se opusieran obstinadamente, acabó por apartarse de ellos. Desamparados ya de la gracia divina, están a merced de Satanás, el cual sumirá entonces a los habitantes de la tierra en una gran tribulación final... El pueblo de Dios se verá entonces sumido en las escenas de aflicción y angustia descritas por el profeta y llamadas el tiempo de la apretura de Jacob (The Faith I Live By, p. 339; parcialmente en La fe por la cual vivo, 29 de noviembre, p. 341).

Politics of Tranquility: The Material and Mundane Lives of Buddhist Nuns in Post-Mao Tibet (Cornell University Press, 2025) concerns the Tibetan Buddhist revival in China, illustrating the lives of Tibetan Buddhist nuns and exploring the political effects that arise from their nonpolitical daily engagements in the remote, mega-sized Tibetan Buddhist encampment of Yachen Gar. Yasmin Cho's book challenges two assumptions about Tibetan Buddhist communities in China. First, against the assumption that a Buddhist monastic community is best understood in terms of its esoteric qualities, Cho focuses on the material and mundane daily practices that are indispensable to the existence and persistence of such a community and shows how deeply gendered these practices are. Second, against the assumption that Tibetan politics toward the Chinese state is best understood as rebellious, incendiary, and centered upon Tibetan victimhood, the nuns demonstrate how it can be otherwise. Tibetan politics can be unassuming, calm, and self-contained and yet still have substantial political effects. As Politics of Tranquility shows, the nuns in Yachen Gar have called forth an alternative way of living and expressing themselves as Tibetans and as female monastics despite a repressive context. ------------------ Jing Li teaches Chinese language, literature, and cinema.

Jana Byars meets one of her academic heroes when Ulinka Rublack joins her to talk about Dürer's Coats: Renaissance Men and Material Cultures of Social Recognition (Routledge, 2025). During the Renaissance, clothing became more and more elaborately decorated and expensive. It often emphasised the privilege of the male elite. Yet clothing could also subvert or reshape conventional cultural norms. This book draws on the case of Albrecht Dürer to examine Renaissance male outerwear as a key element of signalling communication in everyday life. The recognised artist fought for the esteem of urban creators. In asserting his dignity and taste, outerwear was particularly important to Dürer and his time. Ulinka Rublack argues that cloaks and gowns gained in importance during this period and were among the things that mediated social relationships for centuries to come. An investigation into outerwear opens a new window into how people and things were connected in the Renaissance and how important clothing was in shaping subjectivities in everyday life. Using the example of Dürer and his wife as emerging social types, the study follows the artist and the men and women of his time through the streets of Venice, Nuremberg, Augsburg and Antwerp. It poses pressing questions about Albrecht Dürer's entanglement in unequal networks of global trade and the German Renaissance Atlantic. Learn more about your ad choices.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 15 DE DICIEMBREUNA SEÑAL DE PREOCUPACIÓNToda la felicidad, la paz, el gozo y el éxito de ustedes en esta vida dependen de la genuina y confiada fe en Dios. Esta fe inspirará verdadera obediencia a los mandamientos de Dios. Su conocimiento y fe en Dios son el más poderoso freno contra toda mala acción, y el motivo de todo bien. Crean en Jesús como el que perdona sus pecados, que quiere que sean felices en las mansiones que ha ido a preparar para ustedes. Él quiere que vivan en su presencia; que tengan vida eterna y una corona de gloria (Mensajes para los jóvenes, p. 291). Todo lo que se hace para gloria de Dios tiene que hacerse con alegría, no con tristeza o dolor. No hay nada lóbrego en la religión de Cristo. Si por su actitud de congoja los cristianos dan la impresión de haberse chasqueado en el Señor, presentan una concepción falsa de su carácter, y proporcionan argumentos a sus enemigos. Aunque de palabra llamen a Dios su Padre, su pesadumbre y tristeza los hace parecer huérfanos ante todo el mundo. Cristo desea que su servicio parezca atractivo, como lo es en verdad. Revélense al Salvador compasivo los actos de abnegación y las pruebas secretas del corazón. Dejemos las cargas al pie de la cruz, y sigamos adelante regocijándonos en el amor del que primeramente nos amó. Los hombres no conocerán tal vez la obra que se hace secretamente entre el alma y Dios, pero se manifestará a todos el resultado de la actuación del Espíritu sobre el corazón, porque él, "que ve en lo secreto, te recompensará en público" (El discurso maestro de Jesucristo, pp. 75, 76). Cristo se valía de las aves del cielo, los lirios del campo, el sembrador y la semilla, el pastor y las ovejas, para ilustrar verdades inmortales. También obtenía ilustraciones de los acontecimientos de la vida, de cosas familiares a sus oyentes, tales como la levadura, el tesoro escondido, la perla, la red del pescador, la moneda perdida, el hijo pródigo, las casas construidas en la arena y en la roca. En sus lecciones había algo para interesar a cada mente e impresionar cada corazón. De ese modo la tarea diaria, en vez de ser una serie repetida de trabajos, exenta de pensamientos elevados, resultaba animada por recuerdos constantes de lo espiritual y lo invisible. Del mismo modo deberíamos enseñar nosotros. Aprendan los niños a ver en la naturaleza una expresión del amor y de la sabiduría de Dios; vincúlese el concepto del Creador al ave, la flor y el árbol; lleguen todas las cosas visibles a ser para ellos interpretaciones de lo invisible, y todos los sucesos de la vida medios de enseñanza divina. Al mismo tiempo que aprenden así a estudiar lecciones que enseñan todas las cosas creadas y todas las circunstancias de la vida, muéstrese que las mismas leyes que rigen las cosas de la naturaleza y los sucesos de la vida deben regimos a nosotros; que son promulgadas para nuestro bien; y que únicamente obedeciéndolas podemos hallar felicidad y éxito verdaderos (Ser semejante a Jesús, 19 de agosto, p. 238).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 14 DE DICIEMBRETODO SE CUMPLIÓEn todos los tiempos los testigos señalados por Dios se han expuesto al vituperio y la persecución por amor a la verdad. José fue calumniado y perseguido... David, el mensajero escogido de Dios, fue perseguido por sus enemigos... Esteban fue apedreado porque predicó a Cristo y su crucifixión. Pablo fue encarcelado, azotado con varas, apedreado y finalmente muerto... Juan fue desterrado a la isla de Patmos "por la palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesucristo". Estos ejemplos de constancia humana atestiguan la fidelidad de las promesas de Dios, su constante presencia y su gracia sostenedora. Testifican del poder de la fe para resistir a las potestades del mundo. Los tiempos de apuro y angustia que nos esperan requieren una fe capaz de soportar el cansancio, la demora y el hambre, una fe que no desmaye a pesar de las pruebas más duras... Muchos seres humanos de todas las naciones y de todas clases, grandes y pequeños, ricos y pobres, negros y blancos, serán arrojados en la más injusta y cruel servidumbre. Los amados de Dios pasarán días penosos, encadenados, encerrados en cárceles, sentenciados a muerte, algunos abandonados adrede para morir de hambre y sed en sombríos y repugnantes calabozos... Ninguna mano humana se aprontará a socorrerlos. ¿Olvidará el Señor a su pueblo en esa hora de prueba? ¿Olvidó acaso al fiel Noé cuando sus juicios cayeron sobre el mundo antediluviano? ¿Olvidó acaso a Lot cuando cayó fuego del cielo para consumir las ciudades de la llanura? ¿Se olvidó... de Elías cuando el juramento de Jezabel le amenazaba con la suerte de los profetas de Baal? ¿Se olvidó de Jeremías en el oscuro y húmedo pozo en donde había sido echado? ¿Se olvidó acaso de los tres jóvenes en el horno ardiente o de Daniel en el foso de los leones?... Aunque los enemigos los arrojen a la cárcel, las paredes de los calabozos no pueden interceptar la comunicación entre sus almas y Cristo. Aquel que conoce todas sus debilidades, que ve todas sus pruebas, está por encima de todos los poderes de la tierra; y acudirán ángeles a sus celdas solitarias, trayéndoles luz y paz del cielo (Conflicto y valor, 29 de diciembre, p. 369). Las promesas de Dios son como flores preciosas esparcidas en un jardín. El Señor quisiera que nos detengamos en ellas mirándolas con atención, apreciando su hermosura y el favor que Dios nos ha concedido al hacer tan ricas provisiones para nuestras necesidades. Si no fuera por la contemplación de las promesas de Dios, no comprenderíamos su misericordioso amor y compasión hacia nosotros, ni nos daríamos cuenta de la riqueza de los tesoros preparados para aquellos que lo aman. Él quisiera que el alma tomara ánimo para descansar con fe en él, la única suficiencia del agente humano (En los lugares celestiales, 28 de abril, p. 127). 

In dieser Vorlesung behandle ich das Spannungsfeld Grammatik und Grammatikographie im Kontext der Konstruktionsgrammatik. Im Mittelpunkt stehen zwei Fragen: Wie bringen wir den holistischen Anspruch der Konstruktionsgrammatik, das gesamte Sprachwissen zu erfassen, mit der Dynamik des Sprachwandels in Einklang? Und in welcher Art und Weise sind das mentale Konstruktikon und ein (Referenz-)Konstruktikon zu berücksichtigen? Ich diskutiere entlang dieser Fragen das Lexikon-Grammatik-Kontinuum. Abschließend erörtere ich kurz vor dem Hintergrund der praktischen Tests im #MKNetwork, inwiefern generative KI die Arbeit der Konstruktographie in Zukunft unterstützen kann.Präsentation (*.pdf): Alexander Lasch. 2025.

Bundeswirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche (CDU) schlägt angesichts der wirtschaftlichen Krise eine Neufassung von Teilen des Koalitionsvertrags vor und frühere Steuersenkungen für Unternehmen. „Für mich ist dieser Koalitionsvertrag eine Basis, für die Sozialdemokratie ist es eine Decke. Ich glaube, wir müssen uns darüber unterhalten, ob dieser Koalitionsvertrag wirklich das maximal Umsetzbare in dieser Legislatur ist“, sagt Reiche im Gespräch mit Michael Bröcker. Die Koalition müsse eine „ambitioniertere Reformagenda“ diskutieren. Konkret schlägt die Ministerin vor, die Absenkung der Körperschaftsteuer auf 2027 vorzuziehen. „Wenn wir uns dazu entschließen könnten, dies im nächsten oder spätestens übernächsten Jahr zu machen, hätten wir mindestens schon ein Jahr gewonnen, idealerweise zwei“, sagt Reiche. Die CDU-Ministerin vergleicht Deutschland mit einem Ruderboot. „Wir sind wie ein Achter-Ruderer, der mit einem Trainingsniveau und Material von vor zehn Jahren auf einem Fluss dahinrudert. Alle anderen haben hart trainiert, fahren mit besserem Material und haben eine höhere Schlagzahl. Wir müssen in unsere Fitness investieren, wir müssen die Schlagzahl erhöhen.“ Deutschlands Wirtschaft habe nicht mehr nur noch eine Herausforderung, sondern „ein tatsächliches Problem“.Michael Bröcker und Katherina Reiche diskutieren auch über eine Rentenreform, das Heizungsgesetz, schnellere Genehmigungsverfahren und einen Bürokratieabbau.Hier geht es zur Anmeldung für den Space.TableTable Briefings - For better informed decisions.Sie entscheiden besser, weil Sie besser informiert sind – das ist das Ziel von Table.Briefings.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO DE TARDE, 13 DE DICIEMBRE¡DIOS ES FIEL!Los hombres no se ponen en comunión con el cielo visitando una montaña santa o un templo sagrado. La religión no ha de limitarse a las formas o ceremonias externas. La religión que proviene de Dios es la única que conducirá a Dios. A fin de servirle debidamente, debemos nacer del Espíritu divino. Esto purificará el corazón y renovará la mente, dándonos una nueva capacidad para conocer y amar a Dios. Nos inspirará una obediencia voluntaria a todos sus requerimientos. Tal es el verdadero culto. Es el fruto de la obra del Espíritu Santo. Por el Espíritu es formulada toda oración sincera, y una oración tal es aceptable para Dios. Siempre que un alma anhela a Dios, se manifiesta la obra del Espíritu, y Dios se revelará a esa alma. Él busca adoradores tales. Espera para recibirlos y hacerlos sus hijos e hijas (El Deseado de todas las gentes, pp. 159, 160). Nuestros cultos deben ser ocasiones sagradas y preciosas. La reunión de oración no es un lugar donde los hermanos han de censurarse y condenarse unos a otros, donde haya sentimientos desprovistos de bondad y discursos duros. Cristo será ahuyentado de las asambleas donde este espíritu se manifieste, y Satanás vendrá para dirigir. No debe dejarse penetrar nada que sepa a un espíritu anticristiano, falto de amor, porque ¿no nos congregamos para pedir misericordia y perdón del Señor? El Salvador ha dicho claramente: "Con el juicio con que juzgáis, seréis juzgados; y con la medida con que medís, os volverán a medir". Mateo 7:2. ¿Quién puede subsistir delante de Dios y presentar un carácter sin defecto, una vida sin mancha? ¿Cómo puede, pues, atreverse alguno a criticar y condenar a sus hermanos? Aquellos que pueden esperar salvación únicamente por los méritos de Cristo, que deben buscar perdón por la virtud de su sangre, están bajo la más solemne obligación de manifestar amor, piedad y perdón hacia sus compañeros de pecado... Nuestras reuniones deben hacerse intensamente interesantes. Deben estar impregnadas por la misma atmósfera del cielo. No haya discursos largos y áridos ni oraciones formales simplemente para ocupar el tiempo. Todos deben estar listos para hacer su parte con prontitud, y cuando han cumplido su deber la reunión debe clausurarse. Así el interés será mantenido hasta el final. Esto es ofrecer a Dios un culto aceptable. Su servicio debe ser hecho interesante y atrayente, y no dejarse que degenere en una forma árida. Debemos vivir por Cristo minuto tras minuto, hora tras hora y día tras día. Entonces Cristo morará en nosotros, y cuando nos reunamos, su amor estará en nuestro corazón, y al brotar como un manantial en el desierto, refrescará a todos y dará a los que están por perecer avidez por beber las aguas de vida (Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 5, pp. 572-574). 

Miele ist für viele der Inbegriff einer deutschen Marke – mit Produkten, die als verlässlich, aber auch als teurer gelten als die der Konkurrenz. Umso größer war das Aufsehen, als das Gütersloher Unternehmen Anfang 2024 verkündete, man werde einen Teil der Produktion nach Polen auslagern und Arbeitsplätze in Deutschland abbauen. Für den geschäftsführenden Gesellschafter Markus Miele ist das keine Entscheidung gegen den Standort Deutschland – zumal nun auch wieder im Heimatmarkt investiert werden soll. „Wir liegen geografisch in der Mitte Europas, das macht Transportwege kürzer. Wir haben Sicherheit und Rechtssicherheit – für uns selbstverständlich. Aber gucken Sie sich mal um, wo Sie das noch so auf der Welt finden“, sagte Miele im Wirtschaftspodcast von Capital. Miele verglich die Situation mit der Ausgangslage des Firmengründers: „Mein Urgroßvater hätte gesagt: „Ihr habt Material, ihr habt Menschen, ihr habt ein Werk, um zu produzieren. Wo bitte ist euer Problem?“ Auch die aktuelle Debatte um strukturelle Probleme der deutschen Wirtschaft hält Miele für überzogen. „Mag sein, dass diese Krise tiefer ist als die Finanzkrise oder Corona. Aber wir haben Rezepte, um da wieder rauszukommen“, sagte er. „Klagen hilft uns nicht weiter.“ Eine Produktion von RTL+ Podcast.Host: Nils Kreimeier.Redaktion: Lucile Gagnière.Produktion: Andolin Sonnen. +++Weitere Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern finden Sie hier: https://linktr.ee/diestundenull +++60 Tage lang kostenlos Capital+ lesen - Zugriff auf alle digitalen Artikel, Inhalte aus dem Heft und das ePaper.

Burnout is real, but its a lifestyle not a finite point. KHYBER OPTICS SALE THROUGH SUNDAY

Episode 61. AJ Climate Champions with Hattie Hartman and Joe Jack Williams.  In this episode, we turn our attention to the global south. Ana Belizário describes Brazil's burgeoning mass timber movement, which includes notable exemplars such as the Children's Village School (in Tocantins in northern Brazil) which won the RIBA International Prize in 2018.  Many talented Brazilian architects are shifting their focus from concrete to timber. Belizário cites Waugh Thistleton's Murray Grove as a precedent many Brazilians designers initially strove to emulate. By now there are many more typologies and approaches, including a high-end retail complex in São Paulo's fashionable Pinheiros district which will open in early 2026. We also discuss the biodiversity challenges of pine and eucalyptus plantations, which supply Brazil's mass timber industry, including their potential for growth and how they relate to native species. Belizário argues that hybrid construction is a crucial way forward. While not carbon negative, hybrid construction is an easy win because the industry ‘feels safe' with it, according to Belizário. ‘Every cubic metre counts. A thousand hybrid structures is better than one super mass timber structure that will never come,' she explains. At the time of recording, Belizário had just returned from COP 30 in Belém where Built by Nature launched its Principles for Responsible Timber Construction. She describes the five principles as a useful tool for a project, a company, or even a country to situate itself on its timber journey and develop an action plan for the various points.  Post-COP, Belizário is hopeful. ‘Sustainability got popular,' she says.  Reflecting on how Brazil's mass timber industry has grown in recent years, Belizário hopes that within five years Urbem will be able to boast an all-female mass timber installation team!

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes were joined by comedian Daniel Van Kirk, who discussed his stand-up comedy act at a Boston bar at halftime of the Bears-Packers game Sunday.

"How could this happen to me? I'm so powerful. I have everything." This is one of the inevitable, startling moments in the life of every soul in this world who identifies with the body and thinks, "I've got it made. I went to the best school," or not, whatever it may be. "Everything's lined up." And then the crocodile comes. And then there's this reckoning point in Gajendra's struggle with the crocodile, which I've mentioned many times: that he realizes, "I can't win and I'm helpless." Then he prays. There is a way in which the Bhāgavatam shows us: if you feel delight when you walk in the underbrush crackles under your feet, if you feel leisurely happy, the happy of the leisure you have gotten by your material advancement, watch out! Because Padam Padaṁ yad vipadam na teṣām... When we hear that story, where else are you going to hear it? Well, of course, you hear it every day—people coming into mishaps. But there's a sense of, "Well, at least it wasn't me." And, of course, people have empathy. They feel sorry, try to help out in some way. But ultimately, the Bhāgavatam frames this in such a way that it instills in our heart a sense of, "Let's not get comfortable here in the material world and think that 'I've got it made' and everything's going to be okay." Better to preemptively take the mood of Gajendra after the crocodile gets on his leg. Better to preemptively, says the intelligent person who hears these stories, take the position of Citraketu after he surrendered and took the mantra and began to chant sincerely. This instills in us both a sense of detachment from the material world, sufferings of which are categorically applied, even to the richest people, the most advantaged people with the most advantageous situations, as well as poor people; everyone. It's an equal opportunity — suffering agent, this material world. And then one comes to this sense of, "Let me surrender to Kṛṣṇa," removing from our heart, by hearing story after story, this sense of rāga or intense attachment to the material world. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 07 DE DICIEMBRECOMPROMISOHubo ángeles que fueron expulsados del cielo porque no quisieron obrar en armonía con Dios. Cayeron de su elevada condición porque querían exaltarse a sí mismos. Habían llegado a esa situación porque se olvidaron de que su hermosura física y de carácter provenían del Señor Jesús. El hecho que los ángeles [caídos] querían ocultar era que Cristo es el unigénito Hijo de Dios, y por eso llegaron a la conclusión de que no tenían por qué consultar a Jesús. Un ángel comenzó el conflicto y lo fomentó hasta que hubo rebelión entre los ángeles en las cortes celestiales. Se exaltaron debido a su belleza. Todos deberían aprender su lección de esto, en el sentido de que son individualmente responsables ante Dios. Si aman a Dios con todo el corazón, serán sabios para la salvación. Harán su voluntad y su luz siempre será su gloria y no se apagará porque reconocen, temen y sirven a su Señor. La solemne obra que recae sobre cada ser consiste en considerar que es siervo de Jesucristo, solemnemente comprometido por sus votos bautismales a vestirse de la justicia de Cristo. ¿Seguiremos el ejemplo viviente del Señor Jesucristo? Se me ha instruido que cada creyente debe velar en oración, para que no fracase en la batalla de la vida cristiana. Cada alma debiera buscar diariamente al Señor con un ferviente propósito de mañana, de tarde y de noche, para que la mente se espacie en la Palabra de Dios, con el fin de comprender sus requerimientos. El asunto más importante consiste en servir al Señor con corazón indiviso, y tratar de ser, con el corazón y la mente, propiedad del Señor. Todos los que acudan al Salvador en procura de consejo recibirán la ayuda que necesitan, si vienen humildemente, y se aferran con firmeza de esta promesa: "Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y hallaréis; llamad, y se os abrirá". Mateo 7:7... Levante las normas, mi hermano, comenzando con una entrega completa, y continuando con la sencilla obediencia a todos los mandamientos del Señor, de acuerdo con sus directivas especiales. No se debe descuidar ninguna de las cosas importantes especificadas en su Palabra (Cada día con Dios, 29 de abril, p. 126). 

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 129 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the next film in their Claire Denis series, White Material (2009). Within the latest film of the Denis series, she heads back to Africa to explore a family drama set in the background of an unstable, unknown country, but as the film plays out, seems to be more interested in what is in the background rather than the characters that are focused on within the film. Instead of making a "white savior" movie, Denis is using this film as a honest, reflective look at her own place within this world as a white woman, commenting on the violent world that surrounds these white characters, and mirrors her own childhood. While it's not her best film, it's her most personal, and a bold piece of filmmaking that isn't looking for a pat on the back, but rather exposing the flaws within power dynamics in a part of the world we will never be able to fix or understand. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, Denis' relationship to the source material, the violence in the background of the film, the lingering questions about the open ending, as well as plenty of fun tangents post-Thanksgiving for the boys, highlight some of their favorite films they've been catching up with lately. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 1h57m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Claire Denis with a review of her film, Let the Sunshine In. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).
