Luther famously called the Letter of James “the epistle of straw.” The book also features the only New Testament reference to anointing of the sick (5:14), which is cited, mostly by Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theologians, as a probable reference to what they consider one of the seven sacraments. The passage that stresses the importance of faith with good works (“So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.” 2:17) has been troublesome for theologians like Martin Luther who deny human participation in the process of salvation. The writer covers such topics as endurance under persecution, poverty and wealth, control of the tongue, care for orphans and widows, cursing, boasting, oaths, and prayer. The letter is moralistic rather than dogmatic and reflects early Jewish Christianity. The canonical order of these works has varied throughout history, though the Letter of James is usually placed as the 20th book in the New Testament canon. The epistle is one of the seven so-called Catholic Letters (i.e., James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1, 2, and 3 John, and Jude) that were among the last of the literature to be settled on as canonical before the agreement of East and West in 367. Thus, the Letter of James is usually understood to be pseudepigraphical, with the purpose of gaining apostolic authority for its needed message. James, the Lord’s Brother, whose martyrdom is reported as c. James, son of Zebedee, who died as a martyr before 44 ce, nor St. Francis Chan unpacks the dense truth contained in the book of James in front of the iconic backdrop. There is also wide disagreement as to the date of composition, though many scholars hold that it was probably post-apostolic and was likely penned at the turn of the 1st century. This series covers the entire book of Philippians. James the Apostle, abbreviation James, New Testament writing addressed to the early Christian churches (“to the twelve tribes in the dispersion”) and attributed to James, a Christian Jew, whose identity is disputed. Letter of James, also called Epistle of St.
Recollecting his days with Mohammed Rafi, Ghulam Ali said, once Rafi told him, "The whole world listens to me, but I listen to your ghazals". "When I requested Lataji to sing the song, I felt as if there was bahaar inside the whole room." The ageing ghazal singer said, he has spent 55 years singing ghazals, but has seen hardly two or three films in his entire life, one of them being Baiju Bawra, for its enrapturing music. Such songs come and go away as fast as they appear." Asked what was his favourite Bollywood song, the ghazal singer said, Lata Mangeshkar's song Baharon mera jiwan sanwaaro in Raag Pahadi. I can stop singing songs, but I can never sing such numbers." On the Munni Badnaam song, the Pakistani ghazal singer said, "maybe people who prefer to become 'badnaam'(disrepute) may like this number." Asked why filmgoers liked such item numbers, Ghulam Ali replied "It's because people, please forgive me for making this remark, like songs which are done easily. Mashallah, she is a versatile actress." In praise of Madhuri, Ghulam Ali sang the ghazal: "Aiy husne beparwah tujhe shabnam khoon, sholaa kahoon, Phoolon me bhi shokhi to hai, kisko magar tujhsa kahoon." On item songs like Munni, Sheila, Chikni Chameli, Ghulam Ali openly expressed his distaste and said : "Baap Re! I would rather prefer not to sing. Replying to questions in Rajat Sharma's Aap Ki Adalat show on India TV, Ghulam Ali said, "I like Madhuri, because of her fine 'laya' (rhythm) and 'sur' (tune). New Delhi, May 5: Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali dislikes Bollywood item numbers like Sheila, Munni and Chhammak Chhallo, but is effusive in his praise for Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit.

Luster was the heir to a cosmetics fortune who was discovered to have drugged and raped multiple women over the course of than a dozen years. Normally, an SVU case involving a serial rapist would be no big deal, but “Smut” is clearly pulled from the story of the Andrew Luster case. Law and Order: SVU Season 10, Episode 10: “Smut” In “A Losing Season,” the pieces are rearranged just a little bit, with the stand-in for Curruth’s victim found, alive but wounded, in the trunk of a car.Ĥ6. After skipping bail, Curruth was eventually found by police hiding in the trunk of his own car. Law and Order Season 11, Episode 14: “A Losing Season”īased on one of the more ridiculous true crimes, “A Losing Season” draws inspiration from the Rae Curruth crimes of 2001, in which the former Carolina Panthers star was found guilty of conspiracy to murder his pregnant girlfriend. This episode also contains elements of the Mary Kay Letourneau case, as the offender in the episode is a female principal who becomes pregnant with a student’s child - just like Letourneau.Ĥ7. Law and Order: SVU Season 5, Episode 25: “Head”īased on a somewhat insane case in which a pedophile stopped having pedophillic urges once a brain tumor was removed - only to have them return when the tumor began to grow back. (In reality, this is the Raelian cult.)Ĥ8. In “Perfect,” the victim was found dead, at the hands of the leader of a cult that claimed to produce the first human clones. Law and Order: SVU Season 4, Episode 24: “Perfect”Ĭombining two big news items of the early 2000s, “Perfect” focuses on a case inspired by the disappearance/return of Elizabeth Smart, who was abducted for nine months and raped several times daily. OJ Simpson: the gift that keeps on giving.Ĥ9. The publisher of a crime novel that presupposed its author’s real life guilt - a la Simpson’s If I Did It - is murdered, drawing attention to an accused killer who had been found innocent in a prior case. OJ Simpson’s whole life has been ripe for crime writers, but it was perhaps one of the more recent chapters in his life that made for one of the more bizarre RFTH cases. Law and Order Season 17, Episode 16: “Murder Book” Here’s what we think are 50 of the best ripped-from-the-headlines L&O episodes of all time. (As an aside, nearly all of the first season’s 22 episodes were based on true life events, something that probably helped the show become immediately successful, but wasn’t carried through to the following seasons.) Once SVU trumped the success of the original series, many of the ripped-from-headlines stories went there. The episodes aren’t ranked necessarily on the quality of the episode of itself, but sometimes on the importance/cultural significance of the event it’s referencing. It’s difficult to distill a large body of work into such a small number, but here, we’ve tried. So, it’s no surprise that a lot of those crimes were based on real-life events - some of them even from just a few months prior. Since that first season, Law & Order, and all its iterations - SVU, Criminal Intent, and a few other less successful variants - have followed nearly 1,000 criminal investigations. Law & Order, the Dick Wolf-produced procedural that paved the way for so many other shows - NYPD Blue, NCIS, CSI: So Many, and so many others - has been running, in one form or the other, since 1990. I hope this can help you, other than that you will need to contact the manufacturer for support.
There is also a new tourism setting, which has people visiting your city based on how attractive it is, and as you get to the later stages of the game, and perhaps build too many huge smoke billowing factories, you will see that your citizens get sicker and your overall city attractiveness goes down to visitors. You can only fulfil their needs to achieve the same, which leads me to picture my city being a more realistic place, as I construct my totalitarian capitalist dictatorship. With Anno, it feels like very little is lost from the previous entries in the franchise, and what works great is expanded upon and made even better.Īlso, for the first time, you do not need to have your citizens be happy to advance them. In this way, the conflicts between social classes of the real historical period are explored. They have different needs and desires to be happy that must be balanced against each other, and therefore you must strike a balance between advancing too far one way, and maybe making your farmers unhappy and unproductive, and advancing too slowly, which slows down overall production. Only the first three were available to me in this preview, so I couldn’t play around with the end-game tiers, but what becomes apparent even with the first three is that each of them is far more individual than before. You have 5 social classes of citizen, (farmer, workers, artisans, engineers and investors). With Anno, it feels like very little is lost from the previous entries in the franchise, and what works great is expanded upon and made even better.įor instance: The setting of Anno 1800 is the period of the Industrial Revolution, and that theme really carries through a lot to gameplay mechanics. When I was growing up, the gold standard of this genre was always the Sim City games, but where I think Anno is better as a series is that Sim City took the route of making the newer games simpler and simpler each time. You build, design, layout and expand your city in various ways, and by doing so, you keep the inhabitants of the city prosperous and happy, although you have very little direct control over them individually. In Anno, your focus is rather the city itself. If you think it looks similar to an RTS like Age of Empires, what really sets it apart is the focus – in something like Age of Empires, your goal is to build units that you control, and then use those units to destroy your enemy. …think of this game like Sim City or City: Skylines, but with a historical setting and focus…įor those who might to be new to the franchise, think of this game like Sim City or City: Skylines, but with a historical setting and focus, and a campaign to play through. Added to that is the fact that the aforementioned title was released a full 10 years ago, and you can throw in the technical and graphical progression as even more reasons to bring you back. That means that if the last game you played was Anno 1404, which released in 2009, you would get the biggest possible jump in time scale and setting for the series within the real-world games. The series has now covered every century from 1400-1800, but not in that order. After two forays into futurism, with Anno 20, Anno is settling back into its roots again with Anno 1800. If you’re into historically-based city building games, the best series in that (admittedly small) genre is back with a bang. The sword will only accept its master by its own will, and will choose a hero that has gone through great trials and the test their courage, power and wisdom to prove him worthy of wielding it. The sword is considered the only weapon that has the power to defeat Ganon in the games that it appears in. Din's Flame is imbued in the sword, which has the Power to Repel Evil, a power augmented after the sword received a blessing of Zelda, which then transformed the blade into the True Master Sword. The sword was originally crafted by the Goddess Hylia as the Goddess Sword, which was forged in the Master Sword by the Goddess' chosen hero and it's spirit, Fi, who bathed the blade in three Sacred Flames located across the land that would later become Hyrule. First appearing in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to The Past, it has become a predominate feature to the series, appearing in almost every game, in logos, all alongside the Hylian Shield. (This can be edited so this may not be true) The Master Sword, also known as The Blade of Evil's Bane, the Legendary Sword, the Master Sword of Resurrection, and the Sword that Seals Evil, is a recurring weapon that appears in The Legend of Zelda series. Only a hero chosen by the sword itself may wield it." Its blade gleams with a sacred luster that can oppose the Calamity.

Regarding the production, Strauss claimed, 'TM88's slightly psychedelic minor key production, gives Uzi’s nonchalance the feeling of a daydream.' Jordan Sargent of Spin wrote, 'Though the song is an instant hit among Uzi Vert’s growing and feverish fanbase-so much so that his label fast tracked an animated video that hit YouTube this morning-it also works as a good entry point for anyone who has not yet approached an artist who is poised to become one of the most ubiquitous voices in rap'. TM88 sped up the original beat and chopped the intro and the first verse before using the FL Studio plugin Gross Beat to manipulate the volume and the time of the instrumental.

When TM88 returned to Atlanta, he couldn't access his laptop which led him to using an old computer and a Beats Pill speaker to produce during which, he worked on the instrumental for XO Tour Llif3. During the ten hour wait at the airport following the shooting, TM88 lost his laptop charger. TM88's return flight to Atlanta was delayed due to the 2017 Fort Lauderdale airport shooting.
