![]() ![]() ![]() The End of Anxiety - One in Five people deal with crippling anxiety on a regular basis and all of us deal with it at some level from time-to-time. This is not just a book of “don’ts” and “stop doing thats,” but one that gives practical advice for finding moderation in all things, as well as how to use screens to help us disciple our kids. Raising Screen Time Kids - In Raising Screen Time Kids, biblical counselor and pastor Josh Weidmann-who has six kids of his own-sets out to help us discover scriptural answers for those questions. Hebrews 13:6, “So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper I will not be afraid. Philippians 1:6, “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”Įphesians 3:12, “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”Ģ Corinthians 12:9, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” Proverbs 3:25-26, “Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.” ![]() Jeremiah 17:7, “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.” Do not be afraid do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Psalm 27:3, “Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.” My Top 10 Bible Verses for Self-Confidence:Ģ Timothy 1:7, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” As you do, I will trust the Holy Spirit will increase your confidence in Christ. I encourage you to think about them, meditate upon them, memorize them, and study them further. If you’re struggling with self-confidence, I’m sure these verses will be a great help to you. The following is a list of my top ten favorite verses related to confidence- not in self- but in Christ. Therefore, I teach those I counsel that we should not long for self-confidence but for Christ-confidence. I don’t want confidence in myself, I’d rather have confidence in Jesus Christ. Anything that is good in us comes from Christ’s work in our life. Why would you want to have confidence in yourself? We know as Christians there’s nothing good in us. In fact, I pray often, “Lord give me the power of your Holy Spirit… And help me not wet my pants” (seriously).Īs a certified biblical counselor, I often say that I am not fan of the phrase “self-confidence.” It’s a false premise for Christians. There are many times I get nervous before embarking upon the stage. Even to this day as I serve as a lead preaching pastor and I still struggle with confidence. I’ve been on stage since the child, as a performing magician, and then began public speaking nationally at the age of fifteen years old. I was a very insecure child and teenager, though my roles in serving the Lord often called for me to be in front of people. ![]() For most of my life I’ve struggled with self-confidence. ![]()

Hamblin 1973 Shimoyama 2001 Kratzer and Shimoyama 2002)-indeterminate pronouns introduce alternatives into the semantics. My analysis is based on an alternative semantics for the indeterminate pronoun (e.g. We will see that OE provides an interesting case study, partially at odds with generalizations on indeterminate pronouns (see, e.g., Mitrovic 2014 Szabolcsi 2015 for recent discussion) and hence requires particular analytical tools. The goal is to add to the existing literature on indeterminate pronouns a survey of the data from OE and their compositional semantic analysis, neither of which is available at present. The data raise interesting questions for semantic composition: What is the semantic contribution of the indeterminate pronoun? How does the sentence come to express a universal or existential statement or a question? What determines the range of possible sentence interpretations for a given indeterminate pronoun? These questions are the focus of the present paper. Unattested: a-series as interrogative pronouns: (K-T Ælfred’s Boethius, Sedgefield 1899, 149 (final prayer)) ![]() ‘And ever, to time without end.’ (‘…without any end…’) The a-series can, in addition to the universal reading in (3c), lead to an NPI interpretation (6a), but not, according to the available evidence, to a question meaning (6b) (see again the literature cited above). The ge-series has a universal and an existential interpretation (5a, b). For example, the bare series can, in addition to the interrogative interpretation (3a), lead to an existential and a universal interpretation (4a, b). Rypins in Three OE Prose Texts in MS Cotton Vitellius A XV, EETS, 161, 1924)Īll three series participate in several different interpretations. (K-T, Alex 41.8: Alexander’s Letter to Aristotle, ed. ‘I ordered that everything be done as he asked us.’ 40, 19 The Anglo-Saxon version of the Holy Gospels, ed. ‘he to everyone of the people gave heaven’s kingdom’ 2 for a detailed explanation of the presentation of the examples.) Parallel forms exist for other indeterminate pronouns like hwelc ‘which’ and hwær ‘where’ I refer to them as the bare series, the ge-series, and the a-series of OE indeterminate pronouns. I illustrate in (3) the relevant forms of hwa ‘who, what’ Footnote 2: in addition to the bare indeterminate pronoun (3a), there is a form with the prefix ge- ‘and, also’ ge- hwa (3b) and a form with the additional prefix a- ‘always, ever’ æghwa (3c) (see, e.g., Bosworth and Toller 1898/1921 Einenkel 1904 Kahlas-Tarkka 1987). These forms and interpretations make them interesting semantically. But PDE’s ancestor Old English (OE) Footnote 1 had proper indeterminate pronouns, with derived forms and several possible interpretations. Present Day English (PDE) wh-pronouns do not have uses as universal or existential expressions. Ne-kur ‘anywhere’ (in the immediate scope of negation) The paper ends with a proposal for compositional semantic change relating Old English indeterminate pronouns to their modern descendants. A compositional semantics is given for the pronouns and the prefixes, which derives the available readings. ![]() This paper offers an alternative semantic analysis in the spirit of Hamblin (Found Lang 10:41–53, 1973) and Shimoyama (Nat Lang Semant 14:139–173, 2006). In particular, bare indeterminate pronouns have a universal interpretation and ge-indeterminate pronouns can be both universal and existential. Old English indeterminate pronouns are shown to contribute a crosslinguistically hitherto unattested pattern of available interpretations. They combine with morphological prefixes ( ge- ‘and, also’ and a- ‘always, ever’), which change the range of possible interpretations. Indeterminate pronouns in Old English (expressions like hwa ‘who/what’ and hwelc ‘which’) permit several interpretations in addition to their use as interrogative pronouns, for example readings as universal or existential quantifiers. ![]() ![]() ![]() One woman had shot the concert at Candlestick Park-the band’s last stadium performance, in November, 1966-on Super 8 and kept it stashed away ever since. Word went out, partly on social media, that the filmmakers were hunting for fresh evidence of the Beatles on tour: private snaps and home footage, as well as professional fare. So, what does Howard possess that earlier chroniclers don’t? Has he got juju eyeballs, monkey finger, or what? The finale of “Eight Days a Week,” with the Beatles riffing on a rooftop, in 1969, and a wakelike blend of raw elegy and what-the-hell cheeriness filling the January air, echoes the ending of “Let It Be,” a documentary from 1970. Beatles fans, from the maniacal to the merely devout, will be tempted to complain that they know this stuff already-everything from the Cavern Club and the hurly-burly of the Hamburg trips to the pullulating mob in Shea Stadium, in 1965, and so forth. The tale told by “Eight Days a Week” is a familiar one: how the bugs flew, and what sort of buzz they made around the world. ![]() The avuncular host-who had once asked Walter Cronkite what he made of “those bugs, or whatever they called themselves”-promised that his audience would “twice be entertained by them.” The first thing they did was not to entertain, however, but to command: “Close your eyes, and I’ll kiss you.” Snow White never had it so good. That heavenly haste is yet more acute in “All My Loving,” which is what the Beatles kicked off with on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” in February, 1964. One reason that they need no introduction, as Howard realizes, is their habit of dispensing with introductions to their songs “She Loves You” gets a short clobber of drums, as if Ringo were tumbling downstairs in clogs, before the rest of the gang proclaims the opening chorus. To be exact, in the ABC in Manchester, England, on November 20, 1963, and the Beatles onstage, smacking into “She Loves You” without ado. Maybe they should just stand there, numbly hold out a credit card, and say, “Help!” What moviegoers should ask for, as they line up to buy tickets, is unclear. It was no less than their songs demanded. ![]() Such blurred indecision is unfortunate, given that the Beatles were masters of, among other things, the crisp and crunchy title. What is the name of the new Ron Howard film? The poster reads “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week-The Touring Years,” but that looks to me like three separate titles jostling for attention. ![]() ![]() Learn moreĪ unique and responsive polyphonic modal synthesizer with fascinating sound shaping capabilities.

However, as with most advanced instrumentation available to practitioners today, understanding and keeping track of the wide range of options for interpreting results can be overwhelming. This device provides us with an array of analysis options that can accurately reveal conditions that warrant our attention or treatment.

Remembering Tony Bennett: A Life in Photos Similarly, his output in the 1980s slowed as he resisted following trends, the payoff coming in the ‘90s when he paid tribute to the work of Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday and exposed a 21 st century generation to the music he cut his teeth on. That’s the way I like to sing - as if I just picked up the lead sheet for the first time.”īennett would stick to his guns about songs and his interpretations, even when it meant leaving Columbia Records after 23 years and forming his own label, Improv Records. “The way you feel it is the way it comes out, and it’s never the same way twice. “I prefer the way the jazz artists work, and this is one of the things I have learned over the years from guys like (cornetist) Bobby Hackett,” Bennett told Billboard in 1968. He was following the advice of his voice teacher, Miriam Spier, who advised him that the only way to stand out is to emulate instrumentalists rather than other singers. (A performance Tatum once gave of “Danny Boy” affected Bennett to the point that he named his first song Danny). 1 album with Duets II.Ī student of the bel canto style of singing, Bennett developed his own voice by going to the jazz clubs on New York’s 52 nd Street and listening to musicians such as saxophonist Charlie Parker and pianist Art Tatum. lang and Winehouse, Bennett became a paragon of multi-generational cool starting in the early 1990s as he toured the world and, in 2011 at the age of 85, had his first No. Sticking to his style as he recorded with Gaga, Elvis Costello, k.d.

"Requiring the learning of ordered information has also been found to underpin language learning. Unlikely, Perham says, as one would have tremendous difficulty recalling phone numbers, doing mental arithmetic, and even learning languages. Still, I'm curious how prevalent serial-recall is in everyday life, and if one could get by without developing this skill. "Both impaired performance on serial-recall tasks." "We found that listening to liked or disliked music was exactly the same, and both were worse than the quiet control condition," he says. I'm also interested by another of Perham's conclusions. Steady-state sounds with little acoustical variation don't impair performance nearly as much. If sound exhibits acoustical variations, or what Perham calls an "acute changing-state," performance is impaired. ![]() I recently spoke with Perham, who told me about the "irrelevant sound effect."
