 Uriel So what are you saying, Raphael? Who is this human?

 Raphael Something a little more than human, Uriel. Something a lot more than human, in fact. Made a little lower than us, for a while, but I think I recognise....

 Gabriel Look! The crowds are cheering him.

 Michael He's sending his followers to get him a beast to ride through the crowd. Is he going to ride in on a warhorse and proclaim the Kingdom?

 Raphael No, it's a donkey. The beast of the king who comes in peace. Oh, clever, clever. He's riding in as King, but not a king who's going to overthrow the Romans by force. The sign's there for everyone to read it.

 Uriel They haven't proved too bright so far. Even his close followers don't understand what he's up to.

 Gabriel Well, do you?

 Uriel disdains to answer.

 Raphael Palm branches and cloaks on the ground - the people love him. I think it's going to be all right.

 Gabriel What about the Romans, though? What about the Pharisees and the priests?

 Michael Yes, he's still in a dangerous position, Rafe.

 Raphael It'll be all right. You'll see. Establishing the Kingdom is part of the Plan.

 Lights down.

Scene 4 - Gethsemane

 The archangels are still clustered around the mirror.

 Gabriel I don't understand. I don't understand.

 Uriel You never understand.

 Gabriel Well, do you?

 Uriel You know I don't take much interest in these creatures. But it seems clear enough. He's had the meal with his followers. One of them's gone out to get something, and he'll meet up with them later on that hill with the olive trees, the garden where they often go.

 Raphael There are undercurrents, though, Uriel. What about the words he said about betrayal, just before Judas went out?

 Uriel Perhaps he won't be able to get whatever it is. Perhaps it's important.

 Raphael I think it's important, all right. But it looks as if he's got it. Look.

 Michael Aren't those some of the chief priests' guard?

 Gabriel Why would he be bringing them?

 Michael And he's not paying over money. He's being given some. What's happening?

 Raphael Betrayal. Look at him. He's praying. Praying that he'll be spared the trial that's coming.

 Michael He never did that in the desert, when he was facing - that other one.

 Raphael No; he prayed that he would be able to get through it, but not that it wouldn't happen. I have a bad feeling about this.

 Gabriel I want to go down to him. Look at him.

 Raphael Not without orders, Gabby.

 Gabriel (miserably) I know.

 Michael I think I see it.

 Raphael What?

 Michael Judas. Judah. It's the same name - it's just changed a bit over time. Remember the original Judah? He sold his brother for silver.

 Raphael And ended up offering himself up for his other brother. You think that will happen again?

 Michael Bound to. He'll give himself up to redeem him, you wait and see.

 Gabriel And Abraham.

 Michael What about him, Gabby?

 Gabriel Remember? "God will provide the lamb, my son." It's another test. But I wish I could go down.

 Dispatch Archangel Gabriel. Archangel Gabriel, report for orders.

 Gabriel Ah! (Snatches up his trumpet and exits.)

 Michael Good old Gabby. He's very soft-hearted.

 Raphael Yes. But this is a time for strong hearts, even if they're soft. I'm not so confident as you, now. As I remember, the Plan isn't that straightforward.

 Lights down.

Scene 5 - The Trials

 The archangels are still clustered around the mirror.

 Gabriel This has all happened before.

 Raphael How do you mean?

 Gabriel Remember when Moses was rejected as a leader?

 Michael But he's not producing signs and wonders. He's not even saying very much.

 Raphael Romans aren't as impressed with signs as Egyptians.

 Michael What have the Romans got to do with it? He's being tried by the High Priest.

 Raphael High priests are even less impressed by signs - at least, these modern ones are. And the High Priest doesn't have authority to execute anyone.

 Gabriel Execute? But they can't do that.

 Raphael They can try.

 Uriel They'll have us to face if they do.

 Raphael Weren't you listening in the garden when they came for him? He could call on us if he wants; but he won't.

 Michael Why not? We're his armies, aren't we?

 Uriel His armies? We're God's armies.

 Raphael I think that may be the point....

 Gabriel Look! The high priest hasn't been able to get anything out of him, so they're taking him to the Romans.

 Raphael This won't be pretty. Romans don't like the Jews much. If one's given to them, they'll take full advantage.

 Uriel A moment ago, you were implying that he's a little more than just another Jew...

 Raphael Yes. But the Romans don't know that, and wouldn't believe if they were told it.

 Gabriel Just what are you saying, Rafe? Oh, look at that.

 Raphael I told you it wouldn't be pretty.

 Gabriel I can't watch. (Turns away, visibly upset.)

Michael If only we could intervene.

 Raphael If only. But we have no orders. It must be part of the Plan.

 Lights down.

 Scene 6 - Golgotha

 The angels are still around the mirror. Gabriel is casting occasional reluctant glances at it; Uriel is stone-faced as always; Raphael's forehead is wrinkled in concern; Michael is angry and frustrated.

 Michael If only we could help! It's intolerable.

 Raphael It's a good deal worse for him, Mike.

 Michael You know what I mean.

 Raphael Remember Joseph, and how that turned out.

 Michael Joseph got put in prison - where he was well treated and gained the trust of the jailer. He didn't have to carry a cross up a hill.

 Gabriel God will provide the lamb. Surely he will. It's even on the same hill where that happened.

 Uriel Well, it won't be Judas. Look there.

 Raphael He's hanged himself.

 Gabriel If he wanted to die, why didn't he give himself up in Jesus' place, like Judah did for Benjamin?

 Michael He doesn't have Judah's courage. Or love to motivate him, like Judah did. Love for his father.

 Uriel If you ask me, it'll be more like Samson. He'll die, and take the rest with him.

 Gabriel Must you be so bloodthirsty, Uriel?

 Uriel Thirst has nothing to do with it. I just know how these things go.

 Raphael I think there might be more to it than that.... Ugh.

Michael Nails in the hands. And these Romans call themselves soldiers. That's not soldierly.

 Gabriel turns away and hides his face.

 Raphael It's not too late yet.

 Uriel Sometimes it takes them several days to die like this.

 Michael Thank you for that comforting thought.

 They watch for a short time in silence.

 Raphael The sky's gone dark.

Gabriel It's like the end of the world. Has it all gone wrong, Rafe?

 Raphael I don't see how it can have. But at the same time, I don't see how it can't have.... It looks bad, Gabby. Very bad.

 Michael gets up and begins to pace, carrying his spear. He weighs it in his hands as if longing to use it. Uriel draws his sword, pulls out a whetstone and sharpens the blade.

Gabriel Stop that! Sorry, Uriel, but the noise gets on my nerves.

 Uriel shrugs and puts the whetstone away, gets out a polishing cloth instead and polishes the sword.

 Raphael It must be soon now. It must.

 Christ (thunderously) It is finished!

 Clap of thunder and huge tearing sound.

 Uriel The temple curtain's gone. I expected the whole thing to go.

, I like how the author stresses how names represent moments in time. I like the examples she provides such as “The Great Depression” and “The Great Recession” as those phrases correlate with specific moments of time in history. I find the perspective of the phrase “The Great Resignation” being limited to be quite interesting. I understand the point the author makes that the term does not explain why people are leaving their jobs. However, with the other phrases they gave as examples, people need to understand the context of what was going on to fully understand the severity of those periods of time. I feel that it is no different when referring to this term. Despite me not fully agreeing with this point, I like how the authors talk about how the wellbeing of people should be a bigger conversation point when referring to this term.
    I think in this sense, I can understand the author’s perspective that this term deemphasizes some important issues that coincide with why people have been leaving their jobs. After this point, I like how she brings forward terms that she feels are more appropriate to this point in time. I agree with her that those two terms summarize this point of time better than “The Great Resignation” does. I also think these examples transitioned perfectly into her final remarks about the importance of a name. Overall, I am glad I read this article. As I said before, I was skeptical heading into the article. But admittedly, she did make a good argument about what is wrong with the term and why we should take these terms more seriously when creating them and recognizing them.

Ordinarily, the level of salt, and therefore free water in the body is controlled very carefully by the kidneys filtration system. This, in turn, is under the governance of the renin, angiotensin, aldosterone axis. In heart failure, there is an abnormal set point of this axis, so the body attempts vigorously to retain fluid and sodium to maintain the forward cardiac output. This can go too far and have deleterious effects. The most sensitive part of this feedback system is the relationship of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), which converts angiotensin I, to angiotensin II under the control of renin.

Millions of people suffer from the flu every winter. The flu, or influenza, is caused by viruses, which are very small germs. Some viruses including the one that causes the flu are easily spread among people. The flu can present as a relatively minor illness in young,healthy people; but it can become a very serious illness in senior citizens,particularly those with a history of conditions such as diabetes or heart disease.
Flu symptoms generally last for one to two weeks, but the flu can become more serious than that. While your body is working to fight off the flu, you may be more susceptible to other infections such as pneumonia. Senior citizens are especially likely to face experience complications with the flu.
The flu is highly contagious and easily spreads from person to person, often through the air. It is possible foryou to spread the flu to someone else before you even feel symptoms, and you remain contagious for several days after you begin to feel ill. You may contract the flu if someone has the illness and sneezes or coughs near you. It is also possible to get the flu if you touch something that has the flu virus on it(like a doorknob or phone) and then touch your nose or mouth.
The virus can exist on surfaces for hours, so it is very important to wash your hands well when you know you have been in contact with someone who has the flu. Be sure to always wash your hands before eating and touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you can, try to stay away from someone you know is sick.
Distinguishing Between the Flu and a Cold
Although flu and colds have similar symptoms, they can be differentiated by a few traits. A cold is usually milder than the flu; but since the flu can cause serious problems, it is important to recognize the differences.
Normal symptoms of the flu include fever, chills, dry cough, aches and pains, headache, and fatigue. Some people with the flu may experience sore throat, sneezing, stuffy nose, or stomach problems, but those symptoms are not as common. The flu is a different virus from what some people call the "stomach flu," which mainly causes digestive problems.
Getting an annual flu shot, which contains the flu vaccine, can help you stay in good health. Many insurance plans will pay for the shot, which you can get at a doctor's office or the local health department. Many grocery stores and pharmacies also offer the flu shot during a certain time of year. Although the shot cannot guarantee health for everyone, getting the shot every year can decrease the likelihood of catching the flu or minimize symptoms if you do catch it.
It is recommended that senior citizens age 50 and older should get a flu shot once a year. Additionally, anyone who lives with or provides the elder care for a senior citizen should also get the flu shot each year.
The peak season for getting the flu,referred to as "flu season," is November through April. Since the effects of

Some people with the flu may experience sore throat, sneezing, stuffy nose, or stomach problems, but those symptoms are not as common. The flu is a different virus from what some people call the "stomach flu," which mainly causes digestive problems.
Getting an annual flu shot, which contains the flu vaccine, can help you stay in good health. Many insurance plans will pay for the shot, which you can get at a doctor's office or the local health department. Many grocery stores and pharmacies also offer the flu shot during a certain time of year. Although the shot cannot guarantee health for everyone, getting the shot every year can decrease the likelihood of catching the flu or minimize symptoms if you do catch it.
It is recommended that senior citizens age 50 and older should get a flu shot once a year. Additionally, anyone who lives with or provides the elder care for a senior citizen should also get the flu shot each year.
The peak season for getting the flu,referred to as "flu season," is November through April. Since the effects of the shot begin to work two weeks after you receive the

93.5 RED FM, one of the largest and most awarded private radio networks in India has launched an initiative on voting awareness as a build-up to 2019’s general election.  The initiative ‘Ab Watan Dabayega Button’ aims at creating awareness around voting and helps in creating a milestone voter turnout. The initiative will specially focus on educating and resolving queries of youngsters who feel voting doesn’t make a difference.

The objective is to keep in mind the first-time voters – people who have just crossed 18 or people who haven’t voted despite crossing 18 many years ago because they think voting doesn’t makes a difference. RED FM will resolve their queries and they will be made to realise that every single vote is important in the manifestation of a better future for India. By capturing the first-time voters, the aim is to inculcate voting as a habit so that they continue voting in elections for years to come. RED FM has tied up with the Election Commission of India for this initiative and RED FM RJ’s have been declared the ‘Youth Ambassadors’ in their respective cities. RJ Praveen will be leading this campaign in Kolkata as the ‘Youth Ambassadors’.

Encouraging first time voters, Nisha Narayanan, COO, RED FM, says, “Voting is crucial for every citizen to choose their leaders of tomorrow. Being a medium of mass appeal, we want to use the strength of our network to sensitize everyone about the significance of each vote which can create a colossal difference in the long run. ‘Ab Watan Dabayega Button’ is Red FM’s humble effort to make a difference. Our RJs are the ‘Youth Ambassadors’ in individual cities and we are emphasizing on young voters who have just turned 18. As for older voters who have given up hope on this nation, we want them to share equal responsibility for building India. We are all obliged to be accountable to ourselves as well as to our fellow citizens to create a bright future where we foster community building and a shared goal. Instead of debating on a better tomorrow- this campaign aims to mobilize positivity in voting with the central theme of the nation shall vote in a truly ‘Bajaate Raho’ style.

As the voice of the mass, radio has a social responsibility to create a uniform platform for pertinent discussions on socio-political and cultural issues. There is no better time than the upcoming general election where a massive change is expected to sweep this country which will push for further development.  Reaffirming its commitment towards a healthy society, RED FM is all set to generate maximum buzz around voting awareness, so that every Indian voter steps up and do the needful.<|endoftext|>The penis glans why not hard during erection?

The penis glans why not hard during erection? This is a common question for most people, not only young boys ask, but the elderly also have this doubt. Then, after the penis erects, the penis glans why not particularly hard? Originally, glans is integrated with urethral sponge, because the urethral sponge surrounds the urethra and forward form glans and urethra, it is different with the anatomical structure of two penis sponges. So when the penis erects the penis glans is not hard, but a little hardness. This can make the sexual life between male and female genital contact more comfortable.

After understand the above reason, this kind of man can give up this meaningless concerns. The penis will fast erect when any related to sexual issue, is it sick? Many boys talk about their penis is very sensitive, as long as a little hear or see video, books about sex, the penis can erect, even think of things will erect. They often do blame themselves on this issue, which is believed as misbehavior, some turn to the doctor for medicine to cure the ills.

When you understand the physiological knowledge that why penile erection, these will be not a problem for this people. Because the young people are stimulated to erect is a normal physiological phenomenon, all the men are so, not only do not need treatment, it is a sign of sexual maturation, but also a reflection of the normal hormone secretion.

You don’t need to worry too much for this situation. Need to be reminded that the student adolescence is the golden period for everyone to learn knowledge, enhance wisdom, aspiring young people should put more time and energy to devote to learning, work and exercise, don’t indulge in sex related books and audio-visual programs, and reduce the teenagers make blind and disorderly conjectures. Physical health and academic development are of great benefit, penile erection will be reduced accordingly.

Because the cortex central can cause the inhibition of penile erection, if the lack of medical knowledge in this area, for the erection of the penis often produces fear, worry, anxiety and other negative emotions, may result in youth erection is too frequent, and in the adult after marriage to erect, it may have sexual dysfunction problem.

The penis erects all night? Some boys wrote that their penis erection all night, and therefore very fear and worry. To explain this problem, first to introduce male erectile physiology knowledge at night. We know that people’s sleep can be divided into REM sleep and REM sleep slow two forms. In every night of sleep, every man’s penis with alternating sleep in REM sleep period and slow REM sleep period, this is called nocturnal erections in medicine, this is the physiological process for healthy men.

In general, young men every night penile erection times is about 4-6 times, each time lasted 20-30 minutes, a total of up to 2.5 hours. With the increase of age, the number and time of penile erection will gradually decrease. This nocturnal penile erection is a physiological phenomenon of spontaneous sleep, not to people subjective will.

I have personally signed multiple petitions asking for closer I.R.S. review of groups I felt did not meet the requirements of the tax status they held. Donations to political issues or candidates are not tax deductible or tax exempt. The Federal Election funding laws are there for a reason. You have heard of Tom Noe, haven't you?

If you don't like a law, shouldn't you try to change it instead of break it?

Please enlighten us--which specific group that the Senators were targeting broke the law? And which law did they break?

I said I have signed petitions, not necessary the same ones involving these Senators. As evidenced in the video, the "journalist" (and I use that term lightly) did not mention a specific group.

However, I would be happy to list a few and explain why I thought they needed closer examination. And if I can find the information, I'll even list a few due for scrutiny that I'm not aware of.

But, you'll have to wait. I'm busy today.

It’s important to note that condoms should be used if having intercourse while taking non-contraceptive treatments for endometriosis because they may affect a developing baby.

Keyhole surgery can remove larger patches of endometriosis but larger cysts may require an operation. If other treatments have failed and the patient’s family is complete (or they do not want children) a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and removal of the ovaries may be suggested.

Endometriosis and pregnancy

The longer a woman has endometriosis the more her fertility will be affected, which may influence decisions about family planning. Surgical treatment can improve the chances of conceiving and having endometriosis does not put pregnancies at risk. Pregnancy can also reduce the symptoms of endometriosis but they may recur afterwards.

What’s the take home message?

• Treatment depends on symptoms and the condition may settle down by itself.
• After successful treatment, symptoms may recur.
• But remember, endometriosis is not a cancerous condition.

And how to sidestep them.

  • Choosing the wrong option for what to do with your employer-sponsored retirement account when you leave a job can cost you dearly.
  • When looking at investments, remember that a small difference in the fee mutual funds charge can translate to a big difference in how much money you end up with.
  • Even if your new employer offers automatic enrollment in a retirement plan, the contribution percentage may not be enough.
  • Your company offers a retirement savings match? Check the vesting schedule to make sure you’re not leaving money on the table when you depart for your next job.

Moving on has become quite the popular career move lately.

The official government stat tracking folks who quit their job hit an all-time high in three different months last year.[1] And it looks like the I’m outta here movement still has plenty of steam. According to a Fidelity survey, nearly half of adults under the age of 35 say they are likely to be in the market to make a job change.[2]

As liberating and invigorating as it can be to make a move to a better job, or maybe take some time off, it also puts you at greater risk of screwing up your retirement planning.

If you had a 401(k) at your old job, once you quit you have a maddening array of choices about what to do with it, including cashing it out. Which, let’s face it, is appealing if you need a break for a few months to hit the reset button, or want to be able to wait to land the job you truly want, or need a cushion to launch into full-time self-employment.

That said, cashing out comes at a high cost that deserves careful consideration.

“Your investments are the one place where you aren’t trading time for money, in fact you are making money in your sleep,” says Nick Foulks, of Great Waters Financial, a Minneapolis wealth management firm. Cash out and you have irrevocably given up the future compound growth of that money.

And then there’s the challenge of what’s next retirement-savings-wise. Maybe you land at a new job that doesn’t pony up a workplace plan; just 50% of private sector workers offer this benefit.[3] That lands you in the same risk pool as folks going the self-employed route: Your future retirement security depends on you setting up your own retirement savings ASAP.

Even if your next job comes with a 401(k), there are plenty of potholes to navigate around there as well.

“Don’t let things happen by default; make decisions by deliberation,” advises Catherine Collinson, president of the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. After all, it’s your retirement that’s on the line.

Here are potential retirement savings pitfalls to consider when you job hop, and how you can navigate around them.

About Your Old 401(k) …

  1. You’re out of your plan
  2. Cashing out
  3. Leaving the money alone
  4. You have company stock
  5. Retiring early
  6. No retirement plan
  7. A delayed start
  8. Auto-enrollment
  9. Mistiming your next job

Risk 1: Your ex employer kicks you out of your plan

This can happen if you have less than $5,000 saved in the plan. There are two ways this plays out:

The plan sends you a check for the account balance. If you keep the money, rather than reinvest it in another retirement plan, such as an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you are going to owe the IRS some serious change. Sixty days after that check is cut, it is deemed to be a withdrawal. That means you owe a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you are younger than 55 in the year you leave a job, as well as owing income tax on the withdrawal.

The plan moves your money into an IRA. Yep, they can do this. And it may be a super helpful way to keep you on the saving straight-and-narrow. But there’s one big caveat: If the IRA they moved you into charges high fees (more on this soon), you don’t want to leave it there. With just a small amount of elbow grease, you can move the money to an IRA at any discount brokerage, and from there you will be able to invest in super-low-cost index mutual funds or exchange traded funds.

Risk 2: You want to cash out, and use the money for a really good reason.

Once you leave a job, you are allowed to withdraw the money in your account. Foulks, of Great Waters Financial, totally gets that the motivation to cash out is often well-placed amid the Great Resignation. “For many people, the idea is to use the money to lower their monthly expenses, or stretch the period of time they don’t have to work, or reduce the type of pay necessary for the work they want to do.”

Good intentions can still be a costly mistake. Use that money now, and you’ve raided your retirement savings and lost a whole lot of future compound growth. That $10,000 today that you leave marinating for another 35 years will be worth more than $75,000, assuming a 6% annualized rate of return.

Moreover, Foulks warns that when you cash out you could be walking into an IRS hellscape. As mentioned earlier, if you are under age 55 when you leave a job and then cash out, you will owe a 10% early withdrawal penalty, plus income tax. That not only reduces what you actually pocket, but Foulks warns that in the process, by reporting more income you could end up bumping yourself into a higher tax bracket for the year.

Risk 3: You just leave it where it is.

As long as you have at least $5,000 in your account, many plans will let you leave the money parked right where it is. Granted, that’s a lot better than cashing out. But it can still be a mistake because:

Your old employer’s plan is expensive. OK, with full apologies, it’s sort of important to wade into some fin-jargon right now. Your 401(k) account is invested in one or more funds. And each fund charges an annual fee. It’s called the expense ratio (ER), and is deducted from a fund’s gross return before crediting your account with the net (after ER) return.

Some funds have super-low ERs, others not so much. The less you pay in this fee, the more of your money keeps growing for your retirement.

For stock funds inside a 401(k), the average ER is around 0.40% per year.[4] That means if your fund gains 10%, your account will be credited with a 9.6% return. Seems piddly, but it adds up.

Let’s say there are two identical stock index funds. One is inside your 401(k) and charges an 0.50% ER. The other owns the same exact stocks tracking the same exact index, but you bought it at a discount brokerage where you moved your money into an IRA (more on this soon, don’t worry), and that fund charges 0.10%. If we assume you have $25,000 in both today, and the index (before expenses) returns an annualized 6%, over 30 years, your investment in the more expensive fund will be worth around $125,000 compared to nearly $140,000 in the less expensive fund. That’s $15,000 more just because you care about paying low expenses.

Your old employer’s plan doesn’t
