Harping

For “assuming” such declaration “to be self-evident.” Wouldn’t this remark aptly apply to Assafahimself for writing as a matter of fact about a 3000 years uninterruptedevolution of state formation without a single citation of an authoritativesource document? This is where my problem with Assafa began and actuallycontinued to the last paragraph of his paper. Since this is the main reason Imade a decision to write this piece, I will address this issue in more detailin the pages to come.In this section, Assafa threw, to use a boxingmetaphor, a combination of punches on Teshale, all based on hisreading/misreading of Teshale's book, “The Making of Modern Ethiopia:1896-1974,” written in 1995. These are Assafa's punchlines:1. Teshale is one of those writers who continueto “peddle” the story that the Ethiopian modernstate formation began in the last century and a half.2. Instead oftracing modern Ethiopian state formation to Axumite times, Teshale made “unsubstantiated declaration” that “State formation in Africa, includingEthiopia, took place in a process of collision with European expansion”and “assumes such to be self-evident.”3. Teshale “vehemently opposed to any perceptionof the Axumite Empire extending to or covering present day southern Ethiopia.”Let’s find out if these charges are justifiable.As Teshale’s book is one of my favorite books written on modernEthiopian history, Assefa’s harping on it gave me a good reason to pick the bookup again from my book shelf and go over the relevant parts quickly. As Iexpected, it did not take me long to find out that Assefa’s criticism is actually misplaced and unfounded.

To glorify God. Were we well to consider the matter we should see abundant cause in each day for rendering special blessing unto the Lord. All before the day, all in the day, all following the day should constrain us to magnify our God every day, all the year round. Our love to God is not a matter of holy days: every day is alike holy to holy men. David here comes closer to God than when he said, "I will bless thy name": it is now, "I will bless thee." This is the centre and kernel of true devotion: we do not only admire the Lord's words and works, but himself. Without realizing the personality of God, praise is well nigh impossible; you cannot extol an abstraction. And I will praise thy name for ever and ever. He said he would bless that name, and now he vows to praise it; he will extol the Lord in every sense and way. Eternal worship shall not be without its variations; it will never become monotonous. Heavenly music is not harping upon one string, but all strings shall be tuned to one praise. Observe the personal pronouns here: four times he says "I will": praise is not to be discharged by proxy: there must be your very self in it, or there is nothing in it.Verse 3. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. Worship should be somewhat like its object--great praise for a great God. There is no part of Jehovah's greatness which is not worthy of great praise. In some beings greatness is but vastness of evil: in him it is magnificence of goodness. Praise may be said to be great when the song contains great matter, when the hearts producing it are intensely fervent, and when

Who was destined to fail in Buffalo? After leading the league in receptions and yardage, all of those people who asked those loaded questions have to eat a whole lot of crow. He's been instrumental in making Buffalo's offense one of the more prolific units in the league. 3 Tyreek Hill – 98 OVR Would Patrick Mahomes be Patrick Mahomes without Tyreek Hill? The Kansas City management team has made sure that nobody will ever have to ask such a question; they're prioritized keeping the speedy receiver with the Chiefs. To be clear, Tyreek Hill is an unbelievable player no matter who is at quarterback. Aside from his natural talent, analysts can't stop harping about his route running and intelligence. The league will be watching his signature peace sign celebration for years to come. 2 DeAndre Hopkins – 99 OVR It's hard to impress anybody more than DeAndre Hopkins did in 2019. His stellar season had the Madden ratings team give him a 98 OVR and pegged him for one of the best all-time catchers. After a trade to a team with a raw quarterback, Hopkins still found his receptions and yardage to be in the top three. Naturally, he needed a boost to his OVR and the only number above 98 was 99. 1 Davante Adams – 99 OVR Aaron Rodgers might have won the NFL MVP award, but Packers fans made a case that Davante Adams deserved the award just as much. When plays broke down and got ugly, Adams came up clutch. He led the league in touchdowns with 18, three ahead of the second-place receiver. With a nose for the endzone and hands that would not drop the ball, Adams ended the season as Madden's top-rated wideout. NEXT: Madden NFL 21: Ultimate Team Tips For Beginner's

Top two, this really is a very recent thing - yet the so-called armchair technology pundits have been harping on about Android and Iphone (or worse, just Iphone) for years, which shows you how clueless they are. That doesn't mean that WP will replicate Symbian's success - who knows, but I really care little for what these people say. Also note it's misleading to put Iphone on the same level as Android. Android outsells Iphone by a factor of 4-5 now. The market is basically Android and that's it - and if you want to count Iphone too, then sure, but also count WP and Blackberry, and so on. Nokia have fallen, but only from 1st to 2nd place (overtaken by Samsung), so all this talk of a comeback is a bit overblown anyway. Plus the media have been spreading this myth that Nokia went away the moment the first Iphone appeared in 2007, and for years have been asking whether Nokia will make a "comeback", despite Nokia being the number one company all that time (and still outselling Apple today).

Re: The Android and IOS myth Oh, and just to add - it's also ludicrous to see this talk of "Is there room for more that 2 platforms", given that for years, we've had 3, 4, 5 or more major platforms. And for most of that time, Iphone was 3rd, 4th or even 5th. Personally I use Android now, but I don't understand the arguments against WP - did we have years of people saying about Iphone: "Is there room for more than Symbian and Blackberry", or "more than Symbian and Android"? Perhaps there is some hypothesis that long term stability is only possibly when we have one major platform, one smaller platform, and everything else is much smaller (similar to the Windows vs OS X vs Linux etc ratios). But I think we're still a few years from seeing what the final long term state of the phone market is. Friday 14th September 2012 19:21 GMT Anonymous Coward Re: The

In my experience, the PHA-979 is an absolute must have for mixing not-so-well-recorded drums. For me, it can turn a "this snare sounds okay, but it's kinda weird no matter how much I experiment with EQ" session into a "wow that's pretty smooth" one in a few minutes. Absolute magic if you ask me. Registered User Joined: Dec 2011 🎧 10 years Necroe'd for the hell of it.. I just picked up MAutoAlign for multitracked drums an it's night and day. For $66 USD, totally worth it for bedroom drumming recordists.As for the guys above harping on the "learn to mic, etc.", you can know everything there is to know about wave phase/polarity/comb filtering and mic technique BUT 1.) not everyone is recording in well treated rooms with appropriate space so close
