Alguns irmãos, de forma muito equivocada, acreditam que nossas almas serão destruídas (assim como ocorre com os filhos da perdição). O grande problema desta ideia é que ela contraria a grande promessa de Deus para os Seus filhos: a VIDA ETERNA. Na Bíblia, ALMA é sinônimo de VIDA. Por isso defendemos que nossas almas são eternas, pois a nossa vida é eterna. Mas, para entrar no Paraíso, nossas psiques precisarão passar pela restauração necessária ― e prometida por Deus ― para que tenhamos uma vida perfeita no 3º Céu.(Gravação do Estudo da Graça de Deus transmitido ao vivo no domingo, dia 29/10/2023)-------------------------------------------------SEJA UM SEMEADOR!CLIQUE AQUI ➜ https://bit.ly/2srbORGAjude-nos a manter (e a crescer) o nosso trabalho de divulgação do Evangelho da Graça de Deus.

The Australian share market finished Thursday little changed as resource and energy stocks weighed heavily on sentiment. Banks and wealth managers provided support, with CBA and NAB among the day's standouts. Weak US inflation data has reduced expectations of rate hikes, though Middle East tensions and upcoming earnings results keep investors cautious heading into the weekend. Steve Daghlian is a Market Analyst at CommSec. Each episode, he breaks down the day's market movements and explain what the numbers really mean.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news of more Trump flip-flops in haphazard moves that show Trump has no strategy or exit plan from the mess he created in the Middle East. But first, there was a Pulse dairy auction overnight and prices mostly dipped from last week's full event. Both butter and SMP dipped -0.4%, but the exception was WMP which rose +0.3%. The recently higher NZD has made those changes less in local currency, reinforcing the Fonterra payout reduction. Elsewhere, the US released its June CPI result with a somewhat surprising dip with it falling to 3.5% after May's three year high 4.2%. Markets had expected a lesser dip to 3.8%. The biggest retreat was the -9.7% fall in petrol prices (although this monitoring only recorded a +6.8% fall). Inflation was on the mind of Fed speakers overnight, especially Kevin Warsh, who reiterated his commitment to fighting inflation saying he had "no tolerance for persistently elevated inflation". But he had no details or plans on how he is to tackle inflation. He was presenting the Fed's semi-annual Monetary Policy Report to Congress. The Fed's target is inflation at 2% and it has been above that for 63 consecutive months now, so the credibility of achieving that target is not high. The ADP weekly private jobs monitoring fell again, now under +20,000 and the first time it has reported a gain that low since mid-March. It has been tracking lower since early May. The lower fuel costs shifted the needle in the NFIB sentiment survey for SMEs, resulting in a less-negative June result. But these same respondents cited inflation as their biggest threat, the highest since October 2024. Yesterday, big US banks reported strong earnings gains, helped by their role in the Big Tech IPOs and other tech fundraising. Singapore said its economic activity was +5.7% higher in Q2-2026 than in the same quarter in 2025. While this was a bit less than the +6.3% first quarter result, it was above the expected +5.5% outcome. China said its June exports were up a remarkable +27% from the same month a year ago, driven by US companies stockpiling ahead of the expected inflationary effects of upcoming producer price inflation from the Middle East shocks, and by China's push to export cars, and far more than the +18% expected. It also said its imports were +36% higher than a year ago, driven by crude oil imports. That all meant that it had a near record trade surplus of +US$126 bln in June, only exceeded by the January 2025 +US$136 bln in that month. In Australia, the Westpac-MI consumer sentiment survey became less pessimistic in July, mainly because their fuel price pressures eased - and their interest rate fears moderated as well. Job loss concerns eased too. But consumers remained gloomy about the economy overall and that meant they don't think now is a good time to buy a major appliance. And, although it recovered somewhat from very low levels, Aussies are still very uncertain where their housing market is going. The story was quite similar for business sentiment in July as reported by the NAB survey. However, this one reported a sharper-than-expected improvement even if it is still negative. Price pressures also moderated, with input price growth slowing to its weakest pace since February and retail prices falling for the first time in seven years. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.57%, down -4 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold has risen to US$4059/oz, up +US$66/oz from yesterday. Silver is now just under US$59/oz, up +US$1.50 from yesterday. Oil prices are up +US$1.5o from yesterday at just on US$78.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just over US$84/bbl and up +US$2. Hormuz transits have essentially dried up as the hot conflict explodes again and Iran declaring the Strait 'closed'. There have been just 3 crude tankers and 7 cargo ships exiting over the past 24 hours and all of those tied to Iran (1 dark with transponders off) but only 9 entering for new loads, all Iran-linked (1 dark). No-one was prepared to pay Trump's tolls, so Trump backed down (in a weird rambling announcement), less than 24 hours after announcing the levies. It is unknown if any are paying Iran's tolls. Plans to build pipelines to avoid the area are getting new momentum now. So Iran is shifting its focus to blockading the Red Sea at Yemen. The Kiwi dollar is up +50 bps from yesterday at just over 58.1 USc. Against the Aussie we are up +20 bps at 83.3 AUc. Against the euro we are up +40 bps at just on 50.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 62 which is up +50 bps from this time yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$64,477 and up +4.1% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just under +/- 2.5%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

It got lost. Now it is back. This is the first episode we ever recorded in our new studio, a full crossover with Ninjas Are Butterflies, and we are dropping it from the archives to celebrate their 200th episode release. What follows is a full episode with the #1 Comedy Podcast in Barbados, recorded, buried, and recently recovered from the Blurry Creatures archives. In true NAB fashion, it's: Party shirts. A song written an hour before tape. A warning that the whole thing is about to get flagged. And the energy of five guys who clearly should not be allowed in a basement together. Josh, Andy, and Andrew join Blurry for a wide-ranging conversation that hits everything from Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse to the megalithic mysteries of Peru and beyond. The crew digs into the connection between the Watchers of Genesis 6, the Book of Enoch, and the "enlightened travelers" Hancock describes. From there, we walk through a list of conspiracy theories that have been proven true, from the Tuskegee experiments and Operation Paperclip to MKUltra and Operation Northwoods, and we unpack what that track record means for the world we're living in now. The conversation lands on future predictions, transhumanism, Neuralink, the coming Great Deception, and why the peace of Christ is the only thing that holds when everything else is shaking. What was lost is now found, and an episode for the ages. Congrats on 200 episodes, NAB. This Episode is Sponsored By: http://blurrygold.com/ — Get a FREE Gold & Silver Kit while supplies last!

On the morning of 1st July 1916, as whistles blew along miles of the Somme front, the men of the III Corps and XV Corps rose from their trenches and walked into the centre of one of the most catastrophic days in British military history.In this second special episode of Old Front Line for the Somme 110th Anniversary, we focus on the brutal heart of the Somme battlefield, that stretch of scarred chalk downland running from the village of Ovillers, down through the fortress of La Boisselle, to the encircled ruins of Fricourt. This was the ground where some of the few remaining regulars alongside men of Kitchener's volunteer army, Tyneside Scots and Irishmen, Grimsby fishermen, South Yorkshire lads in the York & Lancs, and Green Howards among so many others, were sent against some formidable German positions on this central part of the Somme front of 1st July.The podcast follows the 8th Division into the killing ground of The Nab and Mash Valley at Ovillers, where German machine guns on three sides made survival almost impossible. We stand at the edge of the Lochnagar crater and trace the advance of the 34th Division, all twelve battalions committed at once, nothing held in reserve, as the Tyneside brigades marched in waves across open ground toward a village that was ready and waiting for them. And we examine the bitter fighting around Fricourt, where the 10th West Yorkshire Regiment suffered the single greatest British battalion casualty toll of any unit in on The First Day of the Somme.We end with a virtual walk across those battlefields today.Jonathan Porter's Somme Books: Zero Hour Z Day website.Main Image: Destroyed German trenches at Ovillers, looking towards Albert, July 1916.

Alan Lasky arrived at the AI XR Podcast straight from Las Vegas ahead of NAB. An MIT Media Lab graduate under Nicholas Negroponte, a veteran of Silicon Graphics and Amazon Web Services, and an advisor to investment banks on AI and media, he brings technical depth, industry history, and financial realism about where media is actually going.The conversation covers Hollywood's structural collapse, AI's role in the production renaissance, and the harder question of why trillion-dollar tech companies keep buying media businesses that can't generate comparable returns.Alan's answer: soft power. Amazon makes $950 million Lord of the Rings spinoffs so you order more paper towels. Apple is making Neuromancer. His five-year weighted moving average of Disney stock — flat from 2018 — makes the argument clean.AI XR News You Should Know: Artemis ignited a new space boom. Amazon acquired Global Star satellite to build Project Kuiper, a direct Starlink competitor. Apple's AI audio smart glasses are reportedly arriving this year per Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, entering a market where Meta owns the optometrist channel and Google is moving through Warby Parker. Snap laid off 15% while doubling down on the 2026 launch of Spectacles — the first see-through headset since Magic Leap.Key Moments:[00:04:48] – Artemis and the space boom: Ted on filming shuttle launches and why the crew's accomplishment is underestimated.[00:08:33] – Apple AI audio glasses: Rony's read from former Magic Leapers who designed them — if Apple gets this wrong, it's unforgivable.[00:12:00] – Snap's layoffs and the see-through gamble: can they compete with cheap AI audio glasses flooding the market?[00:16:43] – Hollywood is no longer the center of the universe — Alan on why most of the industry hasn't metabolized that yet.[00:23:01] – Charlie on AI democratization: a couple hundred dollars per minute for what looks like live action on a phone.[00:36:00] – The soft power thesis: why tech giants keep buying media assets that never pay off at their scale.[00:41:30] – Should Apple buy Disney? Charlie says Meta will do it first. Rony's reaction is immediate and visceral.[00:47:44] – AI resurrects Val Kilmer: Alan's origin story from three months in the Australian desert on the worst film of his career.Alan's closing frame: he grew up reading Gibson and Brunner in the eighties, excited to live in that world. He's in it. He's not sure he wanted it this way.This episode is sponsored by Zappar and Mattercraft — the leading visual development environment for immersive 3D web experiences, now with AI-assisted design and debug.

Todos escolhemos nossos caminhos pensando em alcançar segurança e estabilidade, todos precisamos delas. Muitas vezes nossas escolhas não produzem estes resultados, pelo contrário, ficamos em lugares perigosos. O problema é que, na maioria das vezes, estamos buscando no lugar errado, estamos fazendo escolhas erradas e , por isso, acabamos frustrados. O melhor caminho é sempre dar ouvidos à voz do Senhor que encontramos na Escritura Sagrada. Na Bíblia conhecemos a Deus, nosso Criador, e a Jesus, nosso Salvador. Seguir Jesus, obedecer a Palavra de Deus, é o caminho seguro.

V Omeletkách si budeme povídat o jídle. Kamarádka nechtěla na obědě nic jíst ani pít. Když viděla moji kachnu, přivolala číšníka. „Já bych si taky dala ta prsa. A můžou být trošku větší, než má Halina.“ Nabídneme gastronomickou povídku Když šel táta na procházku aneb Mňam mňam tour. A hned tři recepty: tátovy pepřenky, zakarpatské brambory s brynzou a tvarohový koláč se zkaramelizovanými jahodami. Od posluchačky Aleny Nedomové uslyšíte příspěvek Hasič na zámku.
For the second hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, Stoke sends out birthday wishes before he holds Stink accountable for ditching him. Mike asks a question: are the Avs and Nuggets close to title contention based on what we’ve seen from the NAB and Stanley Cup Finals so far? The guys have a serious discussion about how a locker room and team handle an incident like Jonathan Cooper’s alleged domestic violence case. They recap a bad weekend from the Rockies before they discuss RJ’s Harvey heading into year 2. Can the sophomore RB break out in his second year? They wonder if Jarrett Stidham needs to look over his shoulder for Sam Ehlinger. They wrap up the second hour previewing tonight’s Game 3 in the NBA Finals.

Netflix's live action take on the classic manga and animated series, One Piece, has been a massive, world wide success. For season 2, supervising sound editor Paul Col and re-recording mixer Gavin Fernades, were presented with an intimidating amount of audio challenges. A sword fight involving 100 enemies, bad guys that battle by turning into smoke, whales the size of buildings and lots more had to be given sounds built from scratch. This episode was recorded live as part of AirCon 26. ______ Tonebenders' host, Tim Muirhead, will be hosting and moderating a FREE screening of Independence Day to mark the films 30th anniversary. In attendance will be some of the original sound crew that worked on it. This will take place in Toronto, on July 6th, starting at 6pm at the Hot Docs Theatre.

Where to find Sarah?Website https://artistsarahrowan.com/about/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/artistsarahrowan/ Sarah Rowan Bio Sarah Rowan (who now goes by Rowan) is an artist and thought leader who empowers individuals and organizations to ignite a better future through creativity. As one of Australia's top Speed Painters, she has lived and breathed the dynamic process of transformation for over 20 years, turning blank walls and cavasses into thought-provoking pieces of art, with limited time and often in front of a live audience. Merging her artistic talent with her passion for public speaking, Rowan has reimagined the role of the artist, pushing the boundaries of a studio-based pursuit into a trail-blazing performance genre that challenges the limitations of time and space.After graduating from Converse College in 2003 with a BFA in Studio Art, Rowan started an art business in Greenville, South Carolina, USA before moving to Sydney to expand her horizons. It was here that she used the process of creative futurism to overcome depression, challenge chronic illness and create a new future for herself and her family. No longer shackled by societal norms, she has stepped into the full power of her truth personally and professionally.Rowan's strong emotional storytelling, along with her ability to paint fast and think fast has captivated hundreds of clients like Nestlé, ANZ, AMP, Ernst & Young, Woolworths, Sydney Airport, and Priceline. She has inspired audiences to embrace their own creativity which she believes is a “birthright to all” and to date has painted at over 600 events raising over $400,000 for charity.Other clients include: SAP, Netball World Cup, Salvation Army, Terry White Chemmart, YPO, City of Sydney, Commonwealth Bank, American Express, Doterra, Department of Defence, Mirvac, Australian College of Nursing, Liberty Finance, University of Sydney, NAB, ANZ, Dexus, Fastway Couriers, AUSCAM, Bombay Sapphire, International Canadian School Ho Chi Min City, etc.
