Jesus went through pain, false accusations, and crucifixion. Furthermore, the best example of a person who went through hard times as recorded in the Bible was the Lord Jesus Christ. Despite the hard times never ceasing in Paul’s earthly life, he is now free from hard times now that he is with Jesus. Paul died as a martyr of his faith in Christ at the hands of Nero. In fact, the hard times increased as Paul’s life went on. The hard times experienced by Paul did not go away with time. Hard times were part of Paul’s daily life. Paul was persecuted, stoned, imprisoned, and suffered greatly for the name of Christ ( Acts 9:29, 14:5 2 Corinthians 4:9, 11:24 2 Timothy 2:9, 3:11). Another person who was familiar with hard times was the Apostle Paul. Similarly, hard times will help us grow in humility. Jesus was always humble and never prideful. God is constantly molding and shaping us to reflect His Son. Humility can be the result of hard times as hard times have a way of diminishing pride. Even though some hard times last the entirety of our lives, we need to still trust in God and rely on Him. In the same way, we need to trust God throughout the duration of the hard times in our lives. I am going to argue my case with him” (NLT). Job says, “God might kill me, but I have no other hope. Moreover, throughout the account of Job, Job never questioned God’s goodness. This is not even including the fact that Job found out he didn’t have loyal friends and a wife who urged him to curse God and die ( Job 2:9).ĭespite this hard time of Job’s life, he never charged God with wrongdoing. Job lost all of his adult children, lost all of his cattle, experienced the destruction of his home, and was covered in sores from head to toe all in one day. The Bible Plus Hard TimesĪ man who was familiar with hard times was Job. The Lord does not want us to be drowned out by hard times as He will carry us if we let Him. Hard times will not break us unless we let them. If we set our minds and hearts on the Lord and the blessings in our lives, we will be able to overcome the hard times. If we think about these things, getting through the hard times will be much easier. Paul tells us to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy ( Philippians 4:8). Lean on the Lord and He will give you strength.Īnother helpful tactic Paul tells us about in his epistle to the Philippians is where to place our focus during hard times. Despite feeling these emotions, the Lord can give us the strength to stand up under them. During hard times, it is inevitable that we will have anxieties, difficulties, and distress. Give all of your anxieties over to the Lord. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” In Philippians 4:6-7, Paul says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” Hard times are never pleasant however, God can teach us a lot through hard times.ĭuring hard times, we will face trials, temptations, and tribulations, yet the Lord never leaves us during these times. The Bible tells us that even as we walk through hard times, God is with us ( Joshua 1:9 Isaiah 41:10). We tend to avoid hard times at all costs. Most people do not enjoy the idea of going through a difficult season of life. Hard times can cause much stress to arise in our bones however, the Bible gives us some encouragement about hard times. The death of loved ones, illnesses, and anxieties are a few that you may be able to relate to in your own life. There have been many hard times that I still cannot believe I survived. Paramore’s lyrics for “Hard Times” are raw, genuine, and true to our own personal experiences with hard times. Growing up, I was always a fan of Paramore as my sister and I loved the edgy style and the raw lyrics of the lead singer, Hayley Williams. “Gonna make you wonder why you even try/Hard times/Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry… I still don't know how I even survive/Hard times.” These lyrics come from Paramore’s famous song “Hard Times” off their most recent album After Laughter.

Or I can separate them and use the bottom for tools and top for straws and garnish picks for events. I can actually use either method one handed, as it doesn't stick. There is no built in strainer, but the top comes off easily and you can fit it back in upside down to strain, or lift it slightly to create a hole. The top actually fits inside the bottom, rather than outside like other typical cobblers. Although it's not weighted (I like my shakers weighted, less likely I'll accidentally knock them over in a rush), it fits together seamlessly without sticking. However, I'll probably end up using the cobbler shaker included with this kit as well. They get stuck less and are much faster for me to use. I have purchased some different sized Boston shakers separately, as I prefer them to a cobbler. It also has a handy notch for your finger. The Hawthorne strainer has a beautiful coil that I know I'm not going to have to constantly put back on like with the cheaper ones. Sharp, curved foil cutter, double hinged fulcrum, and a notch cut through the center of the worm that makes it glide through the cork like a hot knife in butter.Īll the tools included are solid, with a nice heft. The foil cutters aren't sharp enough, the worms either get stuck in the cork a bit or you have to push real hard to get them through. With every tool I unwrapped, I felt like a little girl at Christmas again! I'm so blown away by the quality of these tools - they put every other thing I've ever used (even at the high end craft bars) to shame.įirst off, fellow bartenders, you know how hard it is to find a good "waiter's friend" corkscrew. Package arrived quickly, and I tore into it excitedly. I figured even if the tools weren't top quality, I could leave these at work and switch them out with the nice ones I've accumulated over the years & keep at the bar. I did a lot of research, read a lot of reviews (weeding out the obviously fake ones), and decided to go with this. I was really just looking for a bag to carry my tools and supplies. So I decided to drop some birthday dough and invest in myself! I've also recently started working more private outside events, like weddings & parties. I do already own my own tools, but I leave them at my bar (theirs are cheap and awful), because I don't want to keep carrying everything back and forth. I just got a job as a bartender school instructor, and need to bring my own tools to class. That means less available shifts and searching for other ways to make ends meet. I'm still working a couple shifts a week at a bar, but with COVID we're only allowed 50% occupancy, so where we used to have 2 or 3 bartenders on, we only have one. I've been bartending off and on for over 20 years now, and decided to make it my full time profession about 10 years ago. It is such a huge foundation in our nation, and that’s important for trade, for success.īeing deployed here in Bahrain is an amazing experience. You have to be able to find that common ground, to find that respect and understanding for a difference, in order to be able to work together. But if you only know your way of life, you limit yourself in being successful with your interactions with people. It has been very hard for me to acclimate to living in a Middle Eastern country. We really steer all aspects of warfare and strategic decisions.Ī huge part of being a linguist or a CTI is knowing the culture, knowing the people, being able to kind of know and read the person speaking is just as important as knowing the language itself. We provide the intelligence for all major military operations. It may not appear glamorous, but what a lot of people don’t see is where all that hard work goes. It’s a little tricky, however, taking.Ī lot of times, the normal day of aCTI is sitting behind a computer. Take the Manama Way through Muharraq into the international airport. We also do one on one coordination with three letter agencies. We provide direct support and safety measures for ships, aircraft. Once you pass the Hidd Bridge, you’re going to pass by Hidd. Once you hop on the highway, you’re going to cross over the Hidd Bridge. We do everything that is language and culture for the Navy. A CTI is a cryptologic technician interpretive, and we are the Navy’s linguists. When the ship is in port in Bahrain, the member is released. At 18, right after high school graduation, I packed up all my stuff and I headed off to an amazing adventure as a CTI. When I got my D lab results, it was definitely kind of a self validation, like hey, not only is this something that I really enjoy, but it’s something I’m good at, this is a career. There was a lot of students at my high school that were looking into going into the Navy, and it just so happened that I was introduced to the recruiter, who really made an effort to sit down with me and say what do you want to do, what are you interested in, and the minute that I started talking about languages, he’s like, let’s get you in for a D lab. It teaches you how we are, and why interactions socially are so important socially to the success of a civilization. As you learn the language, you learn the people, you learn their history. Language acquisition was always easy for me, and that was fueled predominantly just by my interest in the culture, and my desire to learn and, and do well. It really set me up to go places and see things that people said that I shouldn’t. Growing up, I was really lucky to be exposed to all different kinds of people, and religions, and different cultures. No matter how fancy or jerry-rigged, all incubators must accomplish a few basic things: You can also go the DIY route, which saves money, but is almost as much work as sitting on the eggs yourself. With top-of-the-line incubators, you put in an egg, close the door and out pops the chick three weeks later. Plus, why would you want to miss out on an opportunity to experience one of life’s miracles? Step 1 – Set Up an Incubatorĭepending on how many eggs they accommodate and how automated they are, Incubators run from around $50 for the homesteader favorite ‘Hova-Bator’ into the thousands of dollars for commercial scale incubators. You can also buy day-old chicks and skip the incubation process, but it costs more. For this reason, most farmers and backyard chicken enthusiasts don’t trust incubation to their hens, they take it upon themselves to do the brood work instead. Whether it’s genetic or culture, who knows, but they get distracted, other hens oust them from their nest, the rooster comes by… there’s no shortage of things that can go wrong. Modern chickens, it turns out, are not always very effective mothers. Or worse, they may hatch with deformities. Motherhood is a big responsibility for a young hen – if she’s the least bit neglectful, her babies will never hatch. They constantly fuss over them, adjusting them just so throughout the day and rarely leaving the nest for more than a few minutes. Once a hen lays a clutch of eggs, instincts take over. "I didn't trust myself to come up with a palette that was balanced and looked good both in a dark and light medium," he says. Bir likes Solarized so much he uses it as the color scheme for his computer-generated art. "If I bring up a terminal window that doesn't have Solarized, I feel out of place I don't feel at home," says Zachery Bir, a Richmond, Virginia, programmer and artist who has been using Solarized since shortly after it was released in 2011. Microsoft even bundled it with its popular code editor VS Code. It’s available for every major code editor and many other programming tools. The design is free and open source, so there’s no tally of purchases. It's hard to say how many programmers use it. While hunting for tools after switching from a Mac to Windows, I started to see Solarized Dark and its sibling Solarized Light, which uses the same 16-color palette, practically everywhere I looked. I'm not a coder by trade, but I like to use code editors for writing and organizing notes. Staring at screens all day can make you particular about fonts and colors. But I soon found that I couldn't work with any other color scheme. To be honest, I didn't think much of Solarized at first. The colors were part of a theme called Solarized Dark for the popular MacOS code editor TextMate. Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.A couple of years ago, I fell in love with a color scheme: off-white text accented with a buttery yellow-orange and a neutral blue against a deep gray, the "color of television, tuned to a dead channel," to borrow a phrase from Neuromancer author William Gibson. Those bright red comments in the terminal were pretty horrible, though: I do most of my heavier editing in the GUI, so the “wrong” colors were pretty easy to tolerate. Everything looked fine in the GUI, but most of the colors were pretty far off in the terminal. I did manage to straighten that out pretty well, but things still weren’t quite right. Opening Emacs in a terminal would make the colors go weird in any existing Emacs GUI instance and vice versa. When I first set things up, it was just awful. I’ve had a lot of trouble getting my Solarized terminals and emacsclient to play nicely together. For many, many weeks, every time I opened a terminal I would think to myself, “this doesn’t look right!” These days, I am more likely to say that when I happen to see a gray-on-black terminal. I do know that I set my terminal emulator to the Solarized Dark colors, and I installed the Solarized Emacs theme and I forced myself to stick with it long enough to get used to it. I’m not sure exactly what finally made me give up my old color theme and give Solarized a try, but I do remember listening to The Changelog’s interview with the creator of Solarized, Ethan Schoonover. I guess that I had been clinging to those rainbow colors for over twenty years. Those were the colors they gave me when I installed Slackware 3.0 in 1996, and they were pretty much the same as the ANSI colors my 8088-based MS-DOS machine back in the late 1980s. I have been a long time user of the old, standard “Linux console” colors for a very long time. Some time last year, I decided it was finally time to try out a new color theme in my terminals and text editor. Finally, they considered its ease of use, instructions and design elements to determine the best buys. Our tester measured how quickly each machine returned to the optimal temperature after its door was left open for two minutes, as well as its energy consumption over 48 hours. If the fridge had multiple temperature zones, they checked the temperature stability for each compartment. Our GHI expert used a data logger - an electronic device designed to automatically monitor and record environmental conditions - to check that each wine cooler stayed at the right temperature over two hours, 24 hours and 48 hours. If you only like one colour of grape, or you're simply looking to have plenty of cold wine ready for those balmy summer nights, then a single-zone model should suffice. A wine cooler bar cabinet allows you to store, organize, and chill wine, liquor, and other beverages. Some wine coolers come with two separate compartments that can be set to different temperatures, so you can store your reds at room temperature along with your chilled whites and rosés in the same fridge. Neither of the two is better, so it simply comes down to what works for your space. built into your existing kitchen set-up, in between cupboards or other appliances - or if you would prefer to plug in and be ready to go with a freestanding model. You'll need to ask yourself whether you want an integrated cooler - i.e. The smallest cooler on our list can fit 21 bottles, making it most suitable for those who crack open the occasional vintage, while the largest can fit an impressive 190, making it a better pick if you regularly host dinner parties or collect wine. When deciding which wine cooler is right for you, bottle capacity should be at the top of your list. Here's what to consider before you buy: Capacity Show more How to choose the best wine coolerĮvery kitchen and wine collection is unique, so it's important to find a wine cooler that works for you. The trailer would additionally confirm Yusuke Miyata as the game's co-director alongside Hideki Kamiya, the latter of whom reprises his duties from the original game. Inaba would again be interviewed by the publication during E3 2019, clarifying the game's status as "going quite well".īayonetta 3 was officially unveiled by Nintendo during a Direct presentation in September 2021, revealing the first look at gameplay and its 2022 release window. Inaba was then interviewed by Video Games Chronicle in May 2019, and described the game's production as an "orthodox development process", additionally remarking that players would be able to easily observe the shifts in the studio's production mentality during gameplay, yet refusing to elaborate further. Despite the reveal of an additional title in development at the studio however, Nintendo Switch general producer Yoshiaki Koizumi who presented the Direct, would reassure that the game wouldn't conflict with Bayonetta 3's development, stating that PlatinumGames were still "hard at work" on the title. In February 2019 during an installment of Nintendo Direct, Nintendo would reveal Astral Chain (2019), another Switch-exclusive action-adventure title from PlatinumGames that would release later that August. In April 2018, studio head Atsushi Inaba told Eurogamer at the Reboot Develop 2018 conference that Bayonetta 3 would mark a "turning point" for the developer, mentioning that the game would be a "linear core progression action game" in a similar vein to its predecessors. Then-President and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aimé remarked on the announcement as celebratory for "the fans who love what PlatinumGames does, and are thrilled to have PlatinumGames back on a Nintendo system". Kamiya would thus reply, "The answer will be in Bayo 3".īayonetta 3 was officially announced by Nintendo in December 2017 during that year's The Game Awards alongside Nintendo Switch versions of Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2, confirming the title as in development exclusively for the Switch in addition to Nintendo's involvement as its publisher. In June 2015 following Bayonetta 2's release, Kamiya would again respond to a fan inquiry regarding the character Jeanne, and what potential new hairstyles she would look good in following her appearances in the first two games. Bayonetta 2 director Yusuke Hashimoto would later be interviewed by the magazine outlet GamesMaster, during which he would be asked about what game sequels he would like to work on, to which he answered that he had "all kinds of ideas" in mind for Bayonetta 3 in addition to a potential spin-off title. In July 2013, PlatinumGames producer and series creator Hideki Kamiya responded to a fan question on Twitter regarding the likelihood of a third game in the Bayonetta series in the event the then-upcoming Bayonetta 2 was a success, stating, "I hope so". This mode conceals displays of nudity during gameplay and cinematics, such as Bayonetta's various dances to summon her Wicked Weaves using her clothing as a conduit, as well as the more graphic designs of certain enemies and demons. In addition to the game's standard presentation, a new, censored mode known as the "Naive Angel Mode". The latter meanwhile, allows Bayonetta to directly fuse with a summoned Infernal Demon, granting her access to magic-based abilities. Unique to this game are the "Demon Slave" and "Demon Masquerade" mechanics, the former of which differs from the preceding Climax Summon and Umbran Climax features in the first two titles, and instead allows players to take direct control of one of Bayonetta's Infernal Demons to perform various attacks and special abilities, some of which are advantageous to particular scenarios depending on the demon being controlled. Dodging enemy attacks at the last second triggers a state known as "Witch Time", during which time and enemies slow down, allowing Bayonetta to continually attack them without interruption, or traverse in real-time to solve environmental puzzles. Travelling across the world and facing off against these creatures in various locales, she also finds herself teaming up with old allies, a witch-in-training named Viola, as well as an ensemble of alternate Bayonettas, to put a stop to the Homonculi's plans before they plunge humanity into deeper chaos.īayonetta 3, like its predecessors, is an action hack and slash game in which players control the eponymous protagonist Bayonetta as she combats various enemies using a combination of melee attacks and gunplay. Bayonetta is confronted by Homonculi, a new, man-made threat seeking to wreck havoc. Also, transmission shift stiffly while moving around in a parking lot. I re-lifted it and rotated steering wheel again but the resistance is still there. Took it for a drive, power steering was great then it all of a sudden stopped and now it is as if there is no assist at all. I rotated the wheel about 20 times to the lock each direction. Now tranmssion shifts stiffly from Park to Drive or Park to reverse. Just got done changing the power steering pump. and 3,500 lbs over the years, and really just depended on the engine configuration. The transmission pan and filter were not removed during this process. modelo base XLS El 2005 de escape incluye un cuatro cilindros de 2. The gas engines max horsepower is 133 and the electric motors is 93 hp. The four weight limits specified by Ford was 1,000 lbs., 1,500 lbs., 2,000 lbs. The Escape Hybrid will not blow your skirt up. Towing Capacity: Overall, there were 4 main ratings specified for the Escape and they were really a maximum number and less of a range. The overall capacity for the Ford Escape was not really affected by the drivetrain configuration, it did change the GCWR a little though, which made sense, due to the added weight of a transfer cases on the AWD/4WD models. The two choices were either a Front-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive. to 2,000 lbs and the 6 cylinder engine was usually at the higher capacity of 3,500 lbs, with proper equipment installed.ĭrive Train Configurations: The drivetrain configuration was pretty simple to figure out because of the limited options. Other year models are much more reliable. Ford Escapes model years 2005, 2008, and 2013 have high numbers of owner-reported transmission problems. Oil comes in two major varieties these days, synthetic and conventional. Ford recommends that You use synthetic oil whenever You need to change it. The 4 cylinder engines seemed to have a maximum capacity between 1,000 lbs. Quick Answer: Avoid 2005, 2008, and 2013 Ford Escapes. The 2005 Ford Escape useS4.5 quarts of oil with the 2.3L 4Cylinder engine and 6 quarts of oil with the 3.0L V6 engine. There were basically two different choices, for the most part and this was either a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine. There were 5 different groups of years that offered a little bit different engine configurations, which I have broken down in the tables below.Įngine Choices: There were many different engines used, since this vehicle's conception and the engine equipped really had everything to do with the specified capacity ratings. This did depend on the engine equipped and seemed to be the main factor in the overall capacity threshold. |
