The life-study is really a masterpiece, an eye-opening, and a Christ-betrothing set of messages given by the Lord through our brother in order to open the word of God in its rich truth and in its application to our Christian experience. Have you ever thought that there’s a spiritual significance in our Christian life concerning the progression and growth in life for each of the days of the creation / restoration in Genesis 1? Wow. In particular, the life-study of the Bible series really impressed me: I started reading the life-study of Genesis and my eyes were opened to see the mysteries in God’s word and the rich meaning of simple words such as “and the earth BECAME waste and void”, “Let Us make man in Our image…and let them have dominion over…”, etc. Oh, the book of Philippians became so sweet, open, rich, and applicable to me during this time! The Life-Study and the High Peak Books by Witness Lee I still vividly remember being in the army in Romania (military service used to be mandatory once…) and having a daily time to read my Bible and to read half a message from the life-study of Philippians. I discovered that what the Lord is doing in this age has to do with the ministry of these two brothers this is “the ministry of the age”, and this ministry builds up the Body of Christ for the Lord to have a bride and return soon. As I was growing in the human life and going through university and later the army and working, I was daily sustained by Him in His word and with the help of the books by Witness Lee and Watchman Nee. I read many books by “spiritual giants” on revival, I touched something of the charismatic movement, I enjoyed listening to praise and worship songs, I tried to speak in tongues, I listened and watched “healing and deliverance” ministries, I touched something of the “holiness movement”, but I was still left seeking for something deeper.īut when I started reading the Recovery Version of the Bible and some of the books by Watchman Nee and Witness Lee, I was really impressed, touched, and nourished. 5:23), the Spirit with our spirit, God’s economy, God’s dispensing, enjoying Christ, God being life to man, transformation, Christ being the reality of all the positive things, Christ being all-inclusive, Christ being the reality of the good land of Canaan with all its riches, and many other things.Īs a believer in Christ I do my best to follow in the footsteps of those who went before me to seek the truth, know the Lord, and experience Christ, and my desire is to somehow touch what the Lord is doing in this age and be in His up-to-date move in our time. These books became very precious, opening up many of the deeper things of God’s plan such as man being a tripartite being (spirit, soul, and body, see 1 Thes. I never knew of the economy of God or the “all-inclusive Christ” or “the tree of life”, but by reading these books and by meeting with the saints, little by little I entered into the enjoyment of the Lord and appreciated Him more. I knew what many of these words mean, but I never thought that they can be applied to Christ and to God. One day we received a few books by Witness Lee from some saints, such as “The Experience of Life”, “the Tree of Life”, “The All-inclusive Christ”, and, “the Economy of God”. I did hear of Watchman Nee: my parents who were very seeking read his books, but not of Witness Lee. Who is this “Witness Lee”, and why do I quote him so much on this blog? I personally have never met him, and until I got to the age of 16-17 years old I never heard of him. Many of the blog posts at are inspired from and reference to the ministry of Witness Lee and Watchman Nee.

In this bestselling and timeless story, Meg and Mog are off to a Halloween party with all of their friends. 4. What I know for certain is that my daughter loves Meg and Mog just as much as I did as a child.Īfter all, a good picture book never loses touch with its audience. Meet Meg the witch and Mog, her (very naughty) cat. Is it because of the simple storyline? The fun turns of events and humorous surprises? The no-fuss tri-coloured illustrations? The clever use of onomatopoeia? I think it's a mixture of them all. Meg is getting ready for her Halloween tea when disaster strikes and her teapot breaks Meg uses her spells to magic a new teapot, but as usual, all does not go to plan. Having been on shelve since the early 1970s, it has proven to be a timeless classic that children still love. The resources in this pack are also available for purchase as individual itemsCard games and crafts to complement the original Meg and Mog story by Helen.
1350 Distinguishing between the two situations has occasioned much controversy.įor instance, in a case arising from a Denver, Colorado school system in which no statutory dual system had ever been imposed, the Court restated the obvious principle that de jure racial segregation caused by “intentionally segregative school board actions” is to be treated as if it had been mandated by statute, and is to be distinguished from de facto segregation arising from actions not associated with the state. 1349 But if racial segregation is not the result of state action in some aspect, then its existence is not subject to constitutional remedy. 1348 In the South, the aftermath of the case more often involved disputes over which remedies were needed to achieve a unitary system than it did the requirements of state action. The original Brown cases as well as many subsequent cases arose in the context of statutorily mandated separation of the races, and therefore the finding of state action occasioned no controversy. Operation of the state action doctrine was critical in determining whether school systems were segregated unconstitutionally by race. Whether this is good or bad policy, it is a fundamental fact of our political order.” 1347 A major consequence is to require the courts to respect the limits of their own power as directed against state governments and private interests. It also avoids imposing on the State, its agencies or officials, responsibility for conduct for which they cannot fairly be blamed. 1346 “Careful adherence to the ‘state action’ requirement preserves an area of individual freedom by limiting the reach of federal law and federal judicial power. As it grew more sympathetic to federalism concerns in the late 1970s and 1980s, the Court began to reassert a strengthened state action doctrine, primarily but hardly exclusively in nonracial cases. During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, however when almost all state action contentions were raised in a racial context, the Court generally found the presence of state action. Thus, following the Civil War, when the Court sought to reassert states’ rights, it imposed a rather rigid state action standard, limiting the circumstances under which discrimination suits could be pursued. The state action doctrine is not just a textual interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, but may also serve the purposes of federalism. For instance, is it state action when a minor state official’s act was not authorized or perhaps was even forbidden by state law? What if a private party engages in discrimination while in a special relationship with governmental authority? “The vital requirement is State responsibility,” Justice Frankfurter once wrote, “that somewhere, somehow, to some extent, there be an infusion of conduct by officials, panoplied with State power, into any scheme” to deny protected rights. 1343 In addition, acts by other branches of government “by whatever instruments or in whatever modes that action may be taken” can result in a finding of “state action.” 1344 But the difficulty for the Court has been when the conduct complained of is not so clearly the action of a state. 1342Ĭertainly, an act passed by a state legislature that directs a discriminatory result is state action and would violate the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment. That Amendment erects no shield against merely private conduct, however discriminatory or wrongful.” 1339 Although state action requirements also apply to other provisions of the Constitution 1340 and to federal governmental actions, 1341 the doctrine is most often associated with the application of the Equal Protection Clause to the states. 1338 As the Court has noted, “the action inhibited by the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment is only such action as may fairly be said to be that of the States. State Action.-The Fourteenth Amendment, by its terms, limits discrimination only by governmental entities, not by private parties. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other major enterprises already offer a suite of real-time translation tools: Unsurprisingly, the major tech companies are constantly battling to take the lead with real-time language translation technology. You can expect current delays and accuracy concerns to improve as network speeds improve and real-time translation tools become more powerful. Since these translation technologies depend on data from the cloud, there is a short but noticeable lag between the input and output.Įven though 85% accuracy isn’t a fully reliable or nuanced translation, it’s more than enough to facilitate real-time communication with unprecedented efficiency. Real-time language translation can currently achieve an accuracy level of 85% within five seconds of receiving input. This helps them recognize common speech patterns and avoid the mistakes we’re used to seeing from more primitive programs. Neural networks use that information to understand the meaning of each word in the context of the conversation.įurthermore, these translation tools continue to learn by analyzing millions of documents in various languages. It starts with pattern-matching software that can identify sounds from different languages. This system uses a combination of machine learning and artificial intelligence. After analyzing distinctive waveforms from a word, phrase, or sentence, they can immediately identify the original language, parse the speaker’s meaning, and come up with a translation in the target language. Fortunately, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies have completely transformed that outdated process and no longer need to transcribe the original speech to produce an accurate voice translation.Ĭontemporary real-time translation tools use NLP to translate human speech much more quickly and accurately than ever before. From there, they used conventional text translation to convert the original speech into the target language. Older versions of translation technology relied on transcribing speech into text. Example: Google’s Pixel earbuds have in-ear real-time translation. Instant translation between dozens of human languages has the potential to change the way we communicate with people around the world. With the latest neural machine translation (NMT) platforms, two people can have a conversation in different languages with minimal delays or issues with accuracy. Real-time translation is the technology that can help you translate one language to another instantly. Instantly translating speech into your language from any other language is now entirely possible. This sci-fi dream is a reality thanks to smartphones and wearable tech like Google Pixel Earbuds. In 1979, Douglas Adams wrote about the Babel fish-a fish that whispered real-time translations into the ears of its wearers-in his famous sci-fi book, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Only a few decades ago, this technology was the stuff of science fiction. Instant translation through conversational AI has removed language barriers for people around the world. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) plays a major role in translating content to different languages. Now that everybody has smartphones, it’s like carrying a mobile interpreter in our pockets. Language translation technology has come a long way since the early days of the internet. To experience a live, vibrant art gallery overflowing with culture and stories you must visit Raghurajpur crafts village. Raghurajpur Artist Village 4.5 441 reviews 2 of 42 things to do in Puri Neighborhoods Write a review What people are saying By Ananya Shweta Raghurajpur Artist Village - Facinatining work by our artisans Apr 2023 When we reached the artist's workshop we saw beautiful paintings and around 3-4 artists were working on their new piece. It is known for its rich cultural heritage and association. Another interesting fact is that every year the God and Goddess of Puri go on a relaxation period for 15 days, so during that period, the statues are then replaced with these pattachitra paintings that portrays the three deities. Raghurajpur Artist Village is a traditional crafts village in the Puri district of Odisha, India. One of the special products of this village is the also the Sambalpuri Saree, which is a Tussar saree with various mythological scenes painted about Mathura Vijay and Raslila, etc.Įvery house here is an art museum and every person living here is an artist of tribal art, bringing alive the mythological scenes in their paintings. The village is surrounded by palm, mango, coconut and other tropical trees along with betel leaf gardens. But the remarkable part is that they don’t use a pencil for drawing and the brush also which they use is made up of mouse’s hair. The small village is situated in Puri district of Odisha. The artists here use natural mineral colors and vegetable dyes in their paintings. OctoRaghurajpur, a small village in Puri district, Orissa is known for its heritage. The surface is painted with vibrant, full of colors and intricate pictures of various Gods, Goddesses, depicting the mythological scenes. It is known as Patta and basically it is nothing but a dried palm leaf. In the meantime, I wrote about so many articles where I instantly visited. In the last 22 years, the artist has created hundreds of these intricate paintings. This art form dates back to the 12th century. But, there was a specific reason why I waited for such a long time. Raghunath, a resident of Odisha’s Raghurajpur village, is a fourth generation artist engaged in Pattachitra, a cloth-based scroll painting. I visited Raghurajpur first in 2017 and a couple of times later also. According to an artist villager it is their genetic practice and they have been doing this for generations. Most of the members of each family are engaged in art work. It is a very small village with more or less 100 families. Raghurajpur's Patachitra is recognized by UNESCO and it is now a Heritage. What sets these paintings apart is the notable material of cloth used. Raghurajpur The Artisan Village It took 4 long years to write on Raghurajpur. Raghurajpur is a small village of Odisha which is known for it's art and craft. This place is a must visit on the way to Puri from Bhubaneshwar. It came to be that he would exterminate the monster. The people were very troubled and made a request to an expert with bows named Yamada Kurando Takakiyo (who lived in modern-day Kagawa Prefecture's Shionoe City). Touyama was causing harm to the humans and animals there. More than 400 years ago, a monster called an Ushi-oni who lived at Mt. However, they would all likely have points in climb, hide, and/or swim. For example, they might team up with more beautiful Onna type of yokai and lure men to them.įeats and skills would depend largely on what kind of monster you would like (there are many Ushi-oni to choose from!). Occasionally these beasts team up with other creatures to lure prey to them. They are known to harass local villages and towns, sometimes for lengthy periods of times (see the translation below in "Additional Information"). Ushi-oni are best known for being eaters of humans, who hide in pits, or hunt near bodies of water. Occasionally they have been known to live in mountainous areas. Some of the illustrations show them as just bulls! The only 'confirmed' real Ushi-oni in history (see "Additional Information") says that it looks like a humanoid flying-squirrels with a cow's head. There are other, less popular representations of Ushi-oni who are very Minotaur-esque in style, with a humanoid body and a cow's head. Other representations are of very tall-necked bovine who have sword like spikes as tails and the faces of Oni (this image is the one chosen during the Ushi-oni festival in Uwajima). The more common illustration of Ushi-oni is that of a spider-like body with an ox head (the image in the header of this page). Take your pick, but adjust the statistics accordingly! Just don’t play around too much with the mid-range, since boosting this frequency will distort the mix. Rock is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to frequencies, so you can play around a bit with the lower and higher end equally. Just remember to leave the mids where they are and not overdo it with the lower frequencies. You can increase the lower frequencies and a little bit of the higher ones to strike a good balance. If you love listening to electronic music most of the time the bass is what will give it the punch you’re looking for. If you want to adjust your EQ for pop, then you must focus on strengthening the mid-range frequencies, as these will help songs shine through the vocals, which is the most important part of pop music. If that’s the case then you should keep in mind that there are different genres that benefit from some alterations and frequencies. While we already said that the best equalizer settings is when you do nothing, there is room for some tweaks if you want to emphasize a certain instrument or sound when listening to music. Most of the time you won’t need to get near these frequencies, but still, we warn you, don’t boot these ones too much, unless you want to feel pain instead of listening to music. They are the highest frequencies, so high that, like the lowest, they can be hard to hear, but they still do a lot. When properly amplified, the upper mids will produce a ringing sound like a bell. It starts to get a little high with these, but it’s still an important part of equalizing This is the frequency that can damage your hearing the most, in other words, it will be a little uncomfortable for you. Boost these if you really want clearer vocals. If you want instruments like guitars and vocals to really shine, boost the mids. You’ll have the easiest time hearing these frequencies, so boosting the mids, even just a little, can be very apparent, almost as if you’re turning up the volume. Around these frequencies, you will be able to boost the sounds of the bass and other low sounds, so this is where you will probably spend a lot of time if you like electronic music or hip hop. These frequencies are probably some of the most important as they cover anything from bass to low-pitched guitars and more. When moving around this area be careful you don’t go too hard on these frequencies, as you will not be able to have clear audio and it will just be one big low hum. These are the lowest frequencies that you can hear at parties and clubs, for example, you will hear it through a bass guitar, a sub-bass, or a low kick drum which makes a room or a car, so it adds a lot of power and body to the track. In the end, these types of EQs are all about your own personal preference, but if you really want to get the best setting and sound, you also have to understand a few basic concepts so you don’t end up with some unwanted sound distortion or lack of frequencies. Over the past few years, equalizers have been incorporated into several devices, including home stereo systems, car audio systems, and apps, which allows you to tailor the experience depending on a genre of music or device. In any case, an equalizer or EQ is a filter that can isolate frequencies and give you control over how much of each frequency you want, for example, you can boost the lower frequencies to get more bass, or you may want to cut them to give more space to other frequencies and instruments. When you apply the concept of an equalizer in music production, it can be easy to understand but hard to master, however in the context of just listening to music, an EQ is just a tool to make a more customized experience, and while it does come with its warnings, it’s very easy to use. If you change the eq of a song, it will distort the sound to a degree, because you are changing the original master of a song, but if you know what you’re doing, then the option is there for you on many platforms. If you truly want the best setting for listening to music, that would be not to do anything at all, that is, setting everything to 0.īut there are some instances in which you might want to change it and play around with it a little bit, mostly because it might enhance the experience for you, using a specific pair of headphones that could use a bass boost, or maybe your car speakers need more mids, it all depends on the listener but keep in mind that the default settings were set by a producer. In this article we will cover using it for listening purposes only, this is changing the EQ settings on your phone, Spotify, or any other equalizer that’s available. First of all, we have to get something out of the way with this article, and that is the fact that there is a big difference between using an equalizer for improving or modifying the way you listen to music and using it for music production.
