In other words, the JWs believe that God the Father created the Lord Jesus first before all other things, then everything else was created after Jesus. What they teach instead is that the Lord Jesus is a creature, a created being, who came into existence just like everything else came into being, only before all other things were created. They reject the historic teaching of mainstream Christianity. But the Jehovah’s Witnesses reject this clear biblical teaching. ![]() So here is a clear teaching that the Word, the eternal Christ, the Lord Jesus, existed from eternity back, but came to earth in the virgin’s womb and was born as the Savior of mankind. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth,” John 1:14. The Bible teaches that Jesus has existed from all eternity, just as the verse from John 1:1 shows, “And the Word was God.” Later in the same chapter, we read, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. He was with God in the beginning.” Historic, biblical, mainstream Christianity teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ is eternal, without beginning or end, just as the historic creeds, such as the Nicene Creed, state. John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. #1 shocking belief of Jehovah’s Witnesses – they believe Jesus is a creature, a created being, not eternal. They’ll give a friendly, reasonable presentation on your doorstep, but what do they really believe? That’s what I’d like to explain today. Every Saturday you’ll see two or three persons walking down the sidewalk carrying a briefcase and looking like they might be businessmen or women but they aren’t, they’re JWs trying to recruit for their church. This is a group that is out and active in most communities. But I’ll save that critique until next week this week I’d like to focus on the three most shocking beliefs of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. It’s not as popular these days, it’s not growing rapidly, it might even be dying as an organization, but it still has influence in society today through such things as the Christian Science Monitor newspaper and radio broadcasts. In a few weeks I’m also going to give an outline of the three most shocking beliefs of the Christian Science church, because like the Mormons and the Jehovah’s Witnesses, this is a cult as well. Just like what the Mormons believe is shocking. What Jehovah Witnesses believe is shocking. If people really knew what Jehovah Witnesses believed, they’d be more cautious and careful about listening to church members present their teachings. Most of these new recruits are led astray through ignorance, deception and lies. But it’s important that people know, understand and beware of these false teachings because for all the joking and making fun of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ evangelism techniques, they are indeed recruiting followers going door-to-door. Now most or all of these shocking beliefs are things you’ll never hear about at your doorstep with a visit from a member of the Jehovah’s Witness church they keep these beliefs pretty well hidden until you are fully indoctrinated into their religious cult community. They are: one, that Jesus is a creature two, that JW’s believe their church speaks for God even after repeated false predictions of Christ’s Second Coming three, that Jesus didn’t raise from the dead. Today I’ll outline three of the most shocking beliefs of the Jehovah’s Witness cult. ![]() Like the Mormon’s the Jehovah’s Witness religion is a false cult also – and they like the Mormons have shocking beliefs. Today, however, I’d like to shift from examining Mormon beliefs to putting Jehovah’s Witness beliefs under the microscope. But I’m glad God gave me a voice in the local newspaper in order to teach his Word among the people. ![]() I guess the last point was too shocking for the newspaper, or they thought it would be too shocking for the readers. I guess having the paper print two out of three shocking Mormon beliefs isn’t bad. The Jackson-Citizen Patriot ran my article, although they omitted my last point, how Mormons teach that Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers. Last week I wrote a newspaper article on why Mitt Romney’s Mormon religion is a cult, although that shouldn’t be permitted to stop him from running for president. Title: The Three Most Shocking Beliefs of Jehovah’s Witness

![]() The first thing to say is that Piranesi is incredibly easier to read than Strange & Norrell. I treated myself to the paperback as a self-present for Xmas 2021 but, largely out of a certain trepidation over the mental effort I assumed it would require, not to mention the dozens of other things that occupy my mind in retirement, I did not begin the book until early October 2022, determined to catch up on a small and mixed piles of books I hadn’t opened. The result was Piranesi, published to unanimous acclaim in 2020. ![]() For some time she was at work on a sequel to that book, which I hope will eventually come to fruition, but after having herself reinvigorated by a visit to the set of the television adaptation, Clarke recovered the urge and ability to write, but chose a simpler story, an idea that pre-dated Strange & Norrell, featuring far fewer characters and requiring little or no research. Thanks in large part to chronic fatigue syndrome, it took Susanna Clarke sixteen years to produce a follow-up to the widely-acclaimed and massively successful Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. ![]() Since then, it’s expanded beyond the confines of what I read in the Library. This irregular series began as a conscious decision to re-read certain books I had enjoyed many years ago when borrowed from Didsbury Library in South Manchester, and to consider how well, or otherwise, they stood up to my recollection of them.
![]() Rookies should spend a chunk of time watching each of the tutorials in the "GPaedia," which details the step-by-step basics of tweaking vehicles, familiarizing oneself with the dynamics of each track, and so forth. There are, however, many rewards of which to speak. ![]() Even the most casual modes will require some work on your part before you reap the real rewards. Depending on how many of driver aids you've enabled (auto-brakes, auto-gear, indestructible, etc.), this will come pretty close to an arcade-like racing experience, with the major distinctions being that you'll most likely spend a good chunk of time spinning out in the gravel pits, playing with the many impressive camera angles, wishing you could catch up with the competition. There are the standard quick race, quick laps, and practice options, each just a couple of clicks away. To be sure, Grand Prix 4 is a souped-up version of its predecessors with no major innovations, but this is about as close as you can get to the real thing without being scraped off the pavement. While most racing games are forgettable, others are revolutionary, and some - such as Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix line - push the realism envelope so hard they can be downright alienating. ![]() Global positioning technology helped make the game courses copy the real-life tracks, and the physics engine allows drivers to feel the traction as they round sharp corners. The computer car AI has been improved, with driver error and stress taken into account. Over 30,000 photos were used during production to help ensure realism, and the pit crews have been created with the aid of motion capture photography. Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4 features a new graphics engine with anti-aliasing, environment mapping, and cars with 3000+ polygons each. ![]()
![]() Wheezes are musical high-pitched sounds associated with airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Crackles, which are short, explosive, and non-musical, are produced by patients with parenchymal lung diseases such as pneumonia, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and pulmonary edema 1, 8, 9. Crackles, wheezes and rhonchi are the most commonly found among them, and detecting those sounds greatly aids the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases 6, 7. Abnormal lung sounds include crackles, wheezes, rhonchi, stridor, and pleural friction rubs (Table 1). Recent electronic stethoscopes have rendered lung sounds recordable, and it facilitated the studies of automatically analyzing lung sounds 4, 5. Auscultation is non-invasive, real-time, inexpensive, and very informative 1, 2, 3. The stethoscope has been considered as an invaluable diagnostic tool ever since it was invented in the early 1800s. ![]() Our deep learning-based classification would be able to complement the inaccuracies of clinicians' auscultation, and it may aid in the rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment of respiratory diseases. On the other hand, as a result of respiratory sound classification by different groups showed varying degree in terms of accuracy the overall accuracies were 60.3% for medical students, 53.4% for interns, 68.8% for residents, and 80.1% for fellows. It further classified abnormal lung sounds into crackles, wheezes, or rhonchi with an overall accuracy of 85.7% and a mean AUC of 0.92. It detected abnormal sounds with an accuracy of 86.5% and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.93. We developed the predictive model for respiratory sound classification combining pretrained image feature extractor of series, respiratory sound, and CNN classifier. We utilized deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) to categorize 1918 respiratory sounds (normal, crackles, wheezes, rhonchi) recorded in the clinical setting. ![]() To overcome such limitations, we tried to develop an automated classification of breath sounds. However, accurate interpretation of respiratory sounds requires clinician’s considerable expertise, so trainees such as interns and residents sometimes misidentify respiratory sounds. Detection of abnormal respiratory sounds with a stethoscope is important in diagnosing respiratory diseases and providing first aid. Additional SmartScope and remote have available Five-year warranty.Auscultation has been essential part of the physical examination this is non-invasive, real-time, and very informative. Includes Infant Auscultation Trainer, SmartScope remote, and hard carry case. Note: Infant remote and SmartScope are not compatible with Adult Ausculatation Trainer. The range of the remote control is up to 100 feet. One remote control will operate multiple sets of SmartScopes and manikins simultaneously. The remote control does not have to be pointed directly at the manikin or SmartScope to operate. The instructor can select any condition, then switch to another condition quickly and easily so the student can compare sounds and make a diagnosis. The instructor can program the remote control and select from 11 different heart conditions, four bowel conditions, and nine lung conditions. Care and treatment should be the same as with a patient.įeatures one heart, one bowel, and two lung sites on the anterior surface, and two lung sites on the posterior surface. The trainer duplicates human infant conditions as closely as electronic technology allows - it's almost the real thing. The student must palpate to identify the correct auscultation sites and will hear different heart, bowel, and lung sounds as the SmartScope is moved from site to site. The Life/form® Infant Ausculation Trainer simulates heart, bowel, and lung conditions selected by the instructor by wireless remote control. Life/form® Infant Auscultation Trainer with Airway Management ![]() In this ending we allow the First Flame to die with the aid of the Firekeeper who seems to absorb the First Flame into her body of writhing Dark Humanity, ushering what seems to be the infamous "Age of Dark" we heard about a lot in previous games. The End of Fire instead is a more interesting ending with many implications over the endings of past titles and possibly our understanding of Cycles and the nature of the "Age of Dark". I've even seen someone here speculating that this should be interpreted as our character being unable to actually Link the Flame because there just isn't enough combustible left in the world anymore to Link the Fire another time, while this interpretation may be a little radical the ending is certainly giving the impression that the world and the Flame itself have become old and tired, and it's getting harder and harder to keep to Flame properly alive. The only thing to notice is that unlike the Linking we witnessed in Dark Souls 1 there is no great explosion of white or anything, our character merely burns and sits at the Bonfire of the First Flame just like the Soul of Cinder was doing before we fought him and took his place. In this ending we follow our duty as Unkindled to Link once more the fast fading Flame, the Cycles therefore will obviously go on as it is to be expected. To Link the First Flame is the first ending, and I find that there is very little to explain about this one as it is fundamentally the same ending we see in Dark Souls 1 and is also arguably present in Dark Souls 2 in its "Take the Throne" version. These endings are: To Link the First Flame, The End of Fire (which in turn can end in two different ways), and The Usurpation of Fire. So, there are four endings in Dark Souls 3, and I'd like to share my thoughts on them and what they could possibly mean for the world of Dark Souls.

LDH is released from the cells into your bloodstream when cells are damaged or destroyed. LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) is an enzyme involved in energy production that is found in almost every cell and organ of your body, including your liver and kidneys. High quantities can indicate damage to your liver.

HELLP syndrome is classified according to the severity of certain blood test values which reflect the condition of the mother’s blood vessels, liver and other organ systems. (Please see our FAQs for a full list of risk factors for preeclampsia.) How is HELLP syndrome classified? It can occur more often in patients with a family history of preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome, or a history of certain autoimmune conditions or clotting disorders, as well as in patients with no risk factors. However, it is important to note that not all HELLP syndrome patients exhibit the classic signs (high blood pressure and protein in the urine) that typically characterizes the diagnosis of preeclampsia. Patients who have preeclampsia or eclampsia are at higher risk of developing HELLP syndrome. Who is at risk of getting HELLP syndrome? There is some difference in opinion among experts as to what lab values should be used to diagnose HELLP syndrome, so these estimates are approximate. This mean approximately 45,000 women per year will develop HELLP syndrome in the United States. How common is HELLP syndrome?Īmong pregnant women in the United States, 5 to 8% develop preeclampsia 15% of these develop HELLP syndrome. If you or someone you know has any of these symptoms of HELLP syndrome, please see a healthcare provider immediately. These can most often be prevented when caught in time. The most common reasons for mothers to become critically ill or die from HELLP syndrome are liver rupture or stroke (cerebral edema or cerebral hemorrhage). Abnormalities in laboratory blood work (increased liver enzymes, decreased platelets, and the presence of hemolysis).Signs (which are measurable) to look for include: Shortness of breath, difficult breathing, or gasping for air.Swelling, especially of the face or hands.Changes in vision including blurred vision, seeing double, or flashing lights or auras.Shoulder pain or pain when breathing deeply.Headache that won't go away, even after taking medication such as acetaminophen.Nausea, vomiting, or indigestion with pain after eating.Epigastric (abdominal) or substernal (chest) pain, including abdominal or chest tenderness and upper right side pain (from liver distention).The physical symptoms of HELLP syndrome may seem at first like preeclampsia and include one or more of the following symptoms: As a result, patient awareness of HELLP syndrome, and how it relates to preeclampsia, is helpful to ensure the best While some of these conditions may also be present, there is no evidence they are related.Įarly diagnosis is critical because serious illness and even death can occur in about 25% of cases. Its symptoms are sometimes mistaken for gastritis, flu, acute hepatitis, acute fatty liver disease, gall bladder disease, or other conditions.

You find that using OpenVPN isn't as fast as your provider's default protocols and that you cannot take advantage of any extra features they offer such as some servers or password managers which are sometimes only available via the official app. Your provider's VPN client software probably makes this easier, as you can just select one from a list. Connection conundrumsĪlthough OpenVPN Connect is easy to set up, remember you'll have to download configuration files for every server you want to access. If you need to disconnect from the VPN for any reason, launch the OpenVPN app and tap the green switch to the left of "OpenVPN Profile" then click "Confirm". Tap "OpenVPN connect" in the bottom row of icons to open the configuration file within the app. Tap it, then touch the share button at the bottom left. Once the download is complete, tap the small blue arrow next to the "AA" in the address bar then "Downloads" again. ![]() These files are very small, so should download in seconds. Once you have found the file you want, tap the link to download it, then tap "Download" again in the prompt that appears. ![]() If you're not sure which to choose, read through our protocol guide on how to decide the right one for you. Some providers may offer you a choice between UDP or TCP. We can't tell you exactly where you can download these files, as it's different for each VPN provider but you may be able to find them by using the "Help" section of the website. ![]() This is so OpenVPN connect knows the exact address of the server, open ports, security protocols, and other details. Next, you'll need to open Safari to download the necessary. The app can now be opened but don't launch it just yet. Once it appears, tap "Get" and, if necessary use your fingerprint with Touch ID to confirm the download. Open the App Store & search for "openvpn connect". Some of the best we've reviewed, including ExpressVPN, support OpenVPN and make it easy to download the configuration. If you're intrigued, you'll first need to make sure your VPN provider actually has servers you can access via OpenVPN. This means you don't have to rely on your VPN provider's own client software. Our favourite is OpenVPN Connect as it's not only free, but also easy to set up. For example, WireGuard can be faster than OpenVPN, but OpenVPN is supported on more routers.Īnother perk of using OpenVPN is that you can also use FOSS (Free & Open Source) client apps on your device. ![]() While OpenVPN can be slower than more modern protocols, it supports many different communication and encryption protocols on a wide range of devices. The code is regularly reviewed by the community and if vulnerabilities are found, they are fixed. Besides its age, one of the main reasons why it's trusted so often is that it's open source. OpenVPN is a VPN protocol, which has been around for over 20 years. The longer a product or service has been around, the more time programmers have had to spot and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Still, in security circles most experts agree that longevity is best. Initial testing of both these protocols has returned impressive results and there's no reason to think they're unsafe. Most often this is proprietary, closed source software so you have to take their word for it that there aren't any hidden backdoors or undetected security bugs. Most VPN providers have software you can download so that you can easily connect to their service from your device. |
