which one can employ to get the best grades. It might sound

following tips might prove to be of great help: 1. Familiarize
Yourself with the Test Formats Most institutions and instructors
tend to do things in a certain way. For instance, some schools
tend to give about four exam questions and ask you to choose
three questions. You may be required to write a report or thesis

5.534644 | 2.175184 | 5 | Eschatology is the branch within theology concerning the study
of the end, the study of the last days. Thinking, praying, and
pouring over Genesis – Revelation to search out answers to
questions like ‘How will Jesus return?’, ‘When will Jesus
return?’, and ‘Who will Jesus return for?’ can be a mammoth
theological endeavor to dive into. So mammoth that it often does
one of two things to people. It either scares people away from
it entirely or prompts people to embrace a kind of overly
simplistic belief about Eschatology, that details don’t matter
much…the only thing that matters is that Jesus is coming back.
In my own Christian experience I have been in both of these
positions before and through the encouragement (and patience) of
my former pastors and friends I dove deeply into Eschatology and
found something altogether unexpected. I found that it wasn’t as
dark or mysterious as people say it is, I found we can learn as
much about Eschatology in Genesis as we can in Revelation, and

United States since 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention recently reported, with mosquitoes and ticks bearing
most of the blame. Ticks, which are not insects but parasitic
arthropods, actually cause more disease in the United States
than mosquitoes do, accounting for 76.51 percent of total U.S.
vector-borne disease cases. These include Lyme disease and Rocky
Mountain spotted fever and newer diseases as well. Why the
uptick in vector-borne disease, and, more important, how can we
protect ourselves? As researchers of these types of diseases, we
have some answers. Both mosquitoes and ticks transmit disease-
causing pathogens through bites. Only the female mosquito takes
a blood meal to make eggs, but almost all life stages of ticks
need blood to survive. Although mosquitoes were first
demonstrated to have the ability to transmit diseases in 1889,
mosquitoes have been transmitting diseases for far longer.

radiation, or another invasive treatment, your doctor recommends
that you enroll in a program of active surveillance, also known
as watchful waiting. This can be positive news in many ways.
With active surveillance, you have the benefit of not having to
go through surgery or experience uncomfortable side effects from
medicines or radiation therapy. Instead, you agree to a regular
schedule of check-ins, scans, or other tests to make sure your
cancer isn’t growing or changing over time. Cancer sometimes
grows very slowly or not at all. As doctors learn to better
predict whose tumors will get bigger or spread, they’re
increasingly recommending active surveillance for patients with
certain early forms of prostate cancer, breast cancer, thyroid

that day and hour knoweth no man” (Mat.24:36). Why should people
living almost 2000 years ago be concerned about the times of
specific events of a far distant future in which they themselves
would not be living? It wasn’t necessary for them to know! But
now that the End is almost upon us, the Lord has unsealed and
opened His Word to us and given us specific, detailed, actual
times–years, months and even days; accurate, exact mathematical
statistics–so that we can know exactly where we are at on the
timetable God has set for the return of His Son! Just watch the
news for the proclamation of a great Pact, a great religious
Treaty between the world’s three great religions made by the
Antichrist. From the day he makes the Pact, God’s Word tells us
clearly it’s going to be exactly seven years till Jesus comes!
Why has the Lord revealed this so specifically and so exactly in
His Word?–Because it’s going to be such a difficult time that

17:3, the meaning of life is to know Jesus Christ. And this is
eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom you have sent. What does the Bible say about living
your own life? MATTHEW 5:12: REJOICE AND BE GLAD Life on this
earth will never be perfect. This is likely something seniors
have come to understand over the years. But by rejoicing daily
that there is a perfect life to be had ahead, you can get
through the imperfections and be glad for your life in the here-
and-now. What does God say about our lives? God is God and He
works all things, including your life, according to his
purposes. … Psalm 57:2 says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God
who fulfills his purpose for me.” This is key in understanding
God’s purpose for your life. God has numbered your days and will

Pupil dilation is another aspect that detectives look at to
gauge whether someone is lying- dilated pupils are from positive
and relaxed responses, constricted pupils are from negative and
stressful responses. 2. Tracking Eye Movements It is important
to understand the distinction between construction and memory.
Constructing is putting together an event that has not yet
happened, memory is digging through an event that has already
happened. Detectives will conclude that an individual is more
inclined to be lying if they are constructing thoughts rather
than memorising thoughts. Ask the next person you are talking to

is a worse or more dangerous enemy of the Russian Army than the
Russian Army: The army has been hit with a strange illness.
Hundreds of new conscripts have contracted pneumonia almost
simultaneously in both ends of the country — in Kaliningrad and
Siberia. Official statistics show that only 100 soldiers fell
ill in each place, but human rights activists claim that the
number is much higher — so high that whole army barracks had to
be turned into on-site hospitals. One of the conscripts, Anton
Yumatov, who was a law school graduate, died. The army reacted
to the crisis in a typical fashion — by denying that the
epidemic even existed. Later, the Military Prosecutor’s Office
was forced to admit that there were violations of “the safety
requirements for military service and, in particular, violations
of disease-control regulations in the soldiers’ barracks.” What

world, which is mainly prevalent among the elderly. Such is its
pervasiveness that you are likely to know someone who struggles
with it. Dementia is the umbrella term for conditions leading to
the decline of mental abilities, which are severe enough to
hamper activities in everyday life. The symptoms of dementia are
the gradual decrease in cognitive abilities, emotional problems,
speech and language troubles, and a decrease in motivation.
Though a person’s consciousness is usually unaffected, it is
undoubtedly disabling for the diagnosed person, and often
devastating for caregivers and families. According to a WHO
report in 2015, it was estimated that 47.5 million people were
living with dementia across the world. It’s said that one in 14
people over 65 has some form of dementia. Even more

Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to order meat

risks. Poultry processors haven't demonstrated they're able to
keep workers safe and healthy, but they know that many of these

one of the president's goals with this order was to provide
legal immunity to companies, so that they can't be sued by
employees who are infected as a result of unsafe working
conditions. All the risks cascade down onto the workers. Many

East to garner international support to pressure Iran to modify
its nuclear program. During a stop in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on

cooperation and easing of economic tensions with Qatar is

5.44657 | 2.370216 | 5 | Sense & Nonsense About Hell Most of us grew up with this idea of
God sending people to hell. As adolescents, many of us struggled
to reconcile the notion of a loving God sending His own creation
to a place of torment and hopelessness (Luke 16). Some of us
have turned away from the church and, by extension, God because
what we were taught as children—this nonsense, invented myth
about “good” and “bad”—could not be reconciled in our mind with
the concept of God’s love and Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us.
After all, if God is love, how could He create this terrible
place as a punishment for us? How could a loving God send people
to Hell? The most basic answer is to correct an assumption: God
does not send anyone to Hell. It is not God’s will that any of
us should perish (2 Peter 3:9) but that we all might have
everlasting life. What we call “Hell” was never created for us.
It was created for angels who rose up against God in a
rebellion, led by Lucifer, once one of God’s most trusted and
magnificent angels. We n |

ice cream when suddenly you feel a pain in your head that hurts
a whole lot. It's like it came out of nowhere, and in a matter
of seconds it's gone. These instant headaches, or brain freezes,
often strike when we eat or drink something cold. And like you,
some scientists are curious about why brain freezes happen. So
they're testing out some different ideas. That's what I found
out from my friend Bill Griesar, a brain scientist at Washington

something cold, it triggers a change in the blood vessels lining
your mouth and throat. Blood vessels are like little tubes
carrying blood to the brain. A change in temperature can make
these blood vessels grow wider. 'So you get this super painful

variously attributed to Cyril Tourneur and Thomas Middleton.

series, is edited by R.A. Foakes and includes an introduction by
Trevor R. Griffiths. |
6.69004 | 3.179006 | 14 | A trap we often fall into is “either/or” thinking. Someone
professes their pain, we think they mean our pain is less. Not
necessarily. Someone says their achievement is great, we think
they mean our achievement is less. Not necessarily. Someone says
something they have is worth much, we think they mean something
we have is worth less. Not necessarily. As the saying goes, it’s
easy to judge others by their behaviors while judging ourselves
by our intentions. It can be difficult to realize our empathy so
as to understand what others intend to mean over what we think
they mean. Yet, this can save us a ton of time and energy in the
end. |

concerned about their children. The City Council is working
towards a solution to make everyone feel safe. City Council
President Catherine Davidson subpoenaed the Mayor of Alexandria
to a special council meeting to discuss the shortage of
policing. She tells us that she doesn’t want an investigation.
She just wants the city safe. She tells us why it is important
to find a solution to crime. Davidson called the meeting to ask
the Mayor and his Administration for an action plan on how to
fix the police shortages. She also wants documentation to prove
the zones are covered. She begs the public to ask for help from
the Rapides Sheriff’s Office until vacancies are filled.
Councilwoman Cynthia Perry works for the Rapides Parish School

7.927614 | 0.824516 | -1 | Üglî Art Mini-Camp Workshop at the CRMA Sometimes making art
isn’t pretty, and this summer that’s the point! With themes like
stinky, messy, noisy, and “üglî,” these activities are not for
the faint of heart. Getting messy, making “ugly” artwork, using
smelly or noisy materials while creating can be freeing—it
allows your child’s inner critic to take a backseat to finding
the magic in the process. Your young artist will explore unusual
methods of art-making, peruse the galleries and ponder the
reasons artists make the choices they do, investigate some new
mediums, and laugh themselves silly. Space for these mini-camp
workshops is limited, so reserve your child’s spot early.
Suitable for children ages 8-12yrs. Masks are currently
required.* Admission is $40 per session, and there are four
themes to choose from. Put the “ick” in artistic—sign up today!
To register or for more information, contact the CRMA Education
Director Erin Thomas at email@example.com or 319-366.7503. The

9.044213 | -1.432086 | -1 | When you are looking for employees, the main factor you consider
is whether or not they will be able to do the work. Even so, no
matter how qualified a specific person is, they cannot do the
job on their own and that is why cooperation is crucial.
However, everyone at work is mostly busy with their own duties
and socializing might not happen. This is why team building is
crucial. When you encourage team building activities, the team
will learn the importance of appreciation and understanding and
lean on each other to develop their potential to the highest
level possible. The end result is a happy, highly motivated,
efficient and productive team. The more something is repeated
the more people understand its merits and the same goes for team
building. Eventually, people will be willing to cooperate in
projects no matter their differences. Also, these activities
will enlighten them about supporting one other in weaknesses and
strengths. Team building is also crucial for effective
communication. You cannot have a |

EDVTM technology is a platform, so can go after virtually any
tumor. Indeed, the tumor targeting antibody attached to the EDV
can be changed, depending on type of cancer, and EnGeneIC has
built many targeting antibodies, including CD-19 for B-cell
lymphoma, asialo-glycoprotein for liver cancer, and anti-
ganglioside G2 for melanoma and neuroblastoma. In current
trials, EDVs are targeted to a receptor called EGFR which is
found on 70% of all sorts of solid tumors. Targeted EDVs
carrying different payloads have shown dramatic increase in
survival for mesothelioma, pancreatic and brain cancer patients.
Safe in human trials The EDVTM has a remarkable safety profile
in patients with late-stage solid tumors with no serious adverse
events reported across a number of human trials whether
delivering chemotherapeutic drugs or functional nucleic acids.
Many patients received between 15 to 45 repeat doses with no ill
