Topic: Man in Three Dimension
Text: 1Thess 5:23
Sometimes, we do things amiss without understanding who we are.
Who are you? Do you know what manner of being you are?

#ChurchGRA #GRAService #Restoration

Man is a combination of three things. The Body, Soul, and Spirit.
Take good care of these three things. Most times you guide your car, phone. Do you guide your spirit?

#ChurchGRA #GRAService #Restoration

God relates to us through our spirit and if you don't take care of your spirit, you won't hear from God.

#ChurchGRA #GRAService #Restoration

What do you do to your soul? Mind what gets in your mind.
Nobody makes you feel bad without your consent. Mind what makes you envious of others. These are things that destroy the soul.

#ChurchGRA #GRAService #Restoration

Protect your spirit from what can quench your fire. Things like laziness, pleasure. Mind what brings these three down (Spirit, Soul, and Body)

My 12 favourite quotes from Phil Fisher, from his wonderful book 'Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits'

Aside from Buffett/Munger, Fisher is the investor that has had the most influence on me and I would recommend his book to anyone:

"More money has probably been lost...

...by investors holding a stock they really did not want until they could 'at least come out even' than from any other single reason... Especially so when you consider foregone reinvestment gains."

"If the growth rate is so good that in another 10 years the company might well have quadrupled, is it really of such great concern whether the stock might or might not be 35% overpriced? Maintain the position and don't worry about losing a small part of the gain."

"If a company has changed for good it deserves to trade at a P/E premium to its history and will probably continue to do so. For young companies in particular many investors will mistakenly view them as overvalued...

…Stocks that at first glance appear to the highest priced may, upon analysis, be the biggest bargains."

To India! We go together with one of the most original minds of the late antique and early medieval world: Cosmas Indicopleustes. Cosmas thought that the world was a box. He thought that god resided in its lid. But he also travelled a large part of that box! 1/ #medievaltwitter

Cosmas was born at the end of the fifth or the beginning of the sixth century probably in Alexandria, the great city of Roman Egypt. We actually don’t know his real name, Cosmas the India-Sailor is a monicker he got around 9th century. 2/

We know though that he became a merchant in Constantinople. From there he traveled south to Egypt and then to the kingdom of Aksum, modern day Ethiopia. He is best informed about the topography of the region and there is little doubt that he visited it in person. 3/

He is called the India-Sailor because of his description of the current-day Malabar coast and Sri Lanka. But has he made it that far? Was it even viable in the sixth century? 4/

Cosmas does mention detailed descriptions of the South Asian fauna and flora like the hog-deer which he has “seen and eaten”. He also knows coconuts and pepper and seems to have understood if not witnessed how they were harvested. 5/

Downplaying your Intelligence

In the hierarchy of conceit, intelligence reigns.

Thread

If you want to soften people’s guard, the evident faculty to downplay is intelligence, but the other two facets to downplay are judgement and experience as both draw up close to intellect on the hierarchy of conceit.

Make them feel superior to you in these faculties, and you will have them at the tip of your fingers.

It is the ideal camouflage to seem less clever than you are and at times, somewhat of an idiot to confound people.

The sense of intellectual superiority you can induce in people by means of cognitive reassurance through indirect modes will lay down their doubt and suppositions and will be coerced easier to your side.

Do not communicate this implication through direct means, though, utilise concealed and roundabout methods as these are more subtle and potent.

A gesture of admiration at their intellectual ability, for instance, can go a long way.

Idol Olympic - "Meeting Park Chaewon: An introverted, quiet child makes it all the way to the Billboard Chart"
Interview recorded Jan 28
#LOONA

https://t.co/znmOWpEsAT

What kind of person is Park Chaewon?
> I think I'm quiet, calm, and kind of introverted. But when I'm with the members, I really like teasing and messing around, and I think I enjoy talking with people too.

There's been some good news lately! With US Radio charts.
>We've been on the charts for 3 weeks straight now, and we've made it to the top 40. So I'm really moved by that.

Apparently, only BTS, Monsta X, Blackpink, and LOONA have made it there.
>What's so unbelievable about this is that the sunbaenims you mentioned are such accomplished people, so our name coming after theirs, I think like, "is this a lie?" It really doesn't feel real.

Another impressive thing I heard with LOONA is entering Billboard's main album chart top 200.
>Yes. With the members, we found out while we were just eating at our dorm. So we were like "huh?"

📍A thread. @RishabhPant17

Rishabh Pant's father was ill for a long time. He passed away in Roorkee on April 7, 2017. He went home to attend his father's funeral.

Hmmm. Everything has gone terribly wrong.

Positioning in CSS allows you to display your element wherever you want on the screen

But when I was learning it, I found it little bit confusing😅

So in this thread I'll try to explain it in easiest manner with practical implementation. Let's start

THREAD🧵👇

There are 5 values that you can pass in position property

- static
- relative
- absolute
- fixed
- sticky

In this thread we will be focusing on relative and absolute positioning as both are widely used

Let's start with understanding what document flow is?

📌 Elements are displayed on the screen as they written in the HTML document

Consider the following piece of code:

H1, P, H3 and div are displayed on the screen in exact order as they written in the HTML file.

As now you know about document flow, let's start with Relative positioning

📌 Relative Position

- Relative positioning do not take an element out of document flow
- Relative positioning is relative to element's original position which can be changed using offset

🔹 Relative position is relative to itself.

For example: Consider the code and output in the attached image below

As you can see red box is shifted 100px from left because I applied left offset after giving it relative positioning

Re reopening schools, @BorisJohnson & @Keir_Starmer haven't thought this through: they just want too-early reopening 1/

Schools need to be made SAFE b4 reopening & that means more than giving teachers half of a vaccination. 2/

The stats & graphs are clear: Covid cases increased via schools after reopening in September & cases are now increasing in nurseries, left open since Xmas. 3/

Why hurt or kill more people by reopening schools too soon? We need to ensure safety FIRST. 4/

How to make schools SAFE? I’m not an expert but, unlike @BorisJohnson or @Keir_Starmer, I can apply commonsense. Here are my suggestions. 5/

My Notes on Democracy Part 1

MANUFACTURING Dl55ENT AND MODI'S RESPONSE - AN ANALYSIS

DlS5ENT is allowed in a democracy. Any democratic leader or government will uphold - and MUST uphold its citizens's right to DlS5ENT.

This thread analyses the recent Indian experience.

Some years ago, a western country displayed a movie on India in their visitor centre. Showed @Narendramodi the then Gujarat CM as a devil incarnate drinking the blood of MU5LlM.

A tough battle with the authorities resulted in taking down this video.

Lesson - this obscure country which Modi never visited till date has little to do with Indian politics. Yet, there is this need to stop Modi in his tracks of becoming the future PM by smearing him.

Most of you may have noticed Modi as a potential PM in the last decade.

But the Break India F0rces saw this before 2000. It was no surprise as he was the architect of BJP win in the state. This explains why Godhra, the best managed riot turned into a career-defining event for Modi-Shah.

Who are these people and what is their connection to the topic?

C0MMUNl5T5. As most of us know, Political C'sm is but a surface body of an underground larger body. It has many voices, resources, money, and massive techniques in social sciences, economics, and government machinery.

Almost all 'isms' are products of C'sm.

Want to see two absolutely crazy, shady, frustrating charts? (warning: they're confusing, I'll explain)

These charts, which show stock price, volume, short interest, and short volume, tell the story of what happened over the past few days.

Left: $AMC, Right: $GME

On Wednesday night, Robinhood and several other apps limited trading of a number of tickers to just a few shares & options. You could sell as many as you owned, but you couldn't buy any more than a couple of each ticker. It included $AMC, $GME, and a few others…

They did this because their clearing houses increased liquidity requirements more than a hundred percent. A clearing house, if you’re wondering, is what settles all of the trades made during each trading day.

So, when you buy or sell a stock, you might see the cash or the stock in your account immediately. In the background, however, it’s a lot more complex: these clearing houses settle up the books between each other to make sure everyone is squared up properly.

These clearing houses have "liquidity reqs" which are set by regulations and other partners; they literally need to have a certain amount of cash on hand for different securities.

On Wednesday night, the requirements for certain extremely volatile stocks like GME skyrocketed.

Saturn in Shravana – Unfolding the hidden mysteries
 
Saturn is currently transiting the Vishnu’s own nakshatra i.e., Shravana.This transit of karma karaka carries a divine message of transformation which a common man might not understands. By the way of this article,

A major feature associated with 'manhood' is EGO & nothing shatters that ego more than a seeming inability to sexually satisfy a woman. Premature ejaculation(PE) is a common issue in men, with 1 in 3 men experiencing it at some point in their lives.

Lets talk PE shall we?

PE is when you have an orgasm before intercourse/less than A MINUTE after you start.The question that follows this is;HOW LONG SHOULD SEX LAST FOR BEFORE A MAN RELEASES?Averagely,5-7mins.
There are reasons (good/bad) that will make a man spend less/more time before ejaculation.

If a 'quick release' happens once in a while, there's nothing to worry about but if it happens frequently,then you might need to seek help.

The exact CAUSE of PE isn't known, it is believed to be majorly PSYCHOLOGICAL but there are also biological factors involved.

Psychological factors

-STRESS
-Early sexual experience
-Sexual abuse
-Poor body image
-Depression
-Anxiety about sexual performance
-Guilty feelings that makes you rush through sexual encounters
-Relationship problems
-Negative feelings about the idea of sex(sexual repression)

Biological factors
-Erectile Dysfunction
-Men who have low levels of the chemical, SEROTONIN in their brains tend to take a shorter time to ejaculate.
-Abnormal hormone levels
-Inflammation & infection of the prostate/urethra
-Inherited traits

The main symptom of PE is inability
