![]() Maybe they could somehow get inside the house through the roof. They usually had stairs on the outside so people could climb on the roof to get some fresh air. Houses in those days had flat roofs that were made of clay and straw. They were determined to get their friend inside that house to listen to Jesus. The man and his friends could not get inside the house where Jesus was preaching.īut the four men did not give up. Four of his friends had to carry him on a mat. This man was paralyzed and could not walk. One man that wanted to come and hear Jesus was very disappointed. Some people even had to stand outside and listen through the doors and windows. ![]() Many people came to the house to hear him preach and the house was so packed with people that there was not even room to stand inside. When Jesus came to a house in the city of Capernaum many people wanted to come and listen to him. The surprised people praised God, for they knew only He could do such a miracle.īible Verses about Friends and Encouraging Others: He simply showed them that he could “walk the walk” as well as “talk the talk.” He not only claimed he had the power of God – he proved it. Jesus did not have a theological discussion with the teachers. The teachers thought Jesus was blaspheming when He claimed to do what only God can do. Blasphemy is ridiculing or insulting God or claiming to be God when you are not. If anyone else had said this then it would have been considered blasphemy. The teachers of the law listening to Jesus were right to think that only God has the right (or power) to forgive sins. They must have been shocked when Jesus confronted them. They simply thought these things to themselves ( Mark 2:6-8). It is miraculous that Jesus knew what the teachers of the law were thinking. It was a common belief that sickness indicated personal sin, but everyone must have been surprised when Jesus said “You are forgiven” instead of saying “You are healed.” They would not have done such an unusual thing if they had not believed Jesus could heal their friend. People inside the house could reach up and take him as those outside let him down. ![]() Probably the roof was so low that no ropes were needed to let the man down. To make a hole, the men would have had to dig through the clay and remove some of the sticks. Sometimes a roller would be used to pack down the clay. To make the roof the builder would lay sticks close together over the beams and cover them with hard-packed clay. People could sleep on the roof when it was hot. The four men probably used an outside stairway to carry their friend up to the roof. There was no way four men could carry a man through that crowd and into the house through the door. The crowd of people was packed about the doorway, trying to get a glimpse of Jesus. His bed probably was a simple mat carried by the corners. It seems this man was so disabled he could not walk. There are many kinds of paralysis, affecting different parts of the body or all of it. People packed the house where he was staying. ![]() News spread fast that Jesus was back in town and a huge crowd gathered. In the parallel passage ( Luke 5:17-26) we find that Pharisees travelled all the way from Jerusalem to hear Jesus speak. ![]() He already had a reputation as one who could heal the sick and cast out demons ( Mark 2:1-12).

![]() ![]() What we can conclude is that coffee does have an effect on your bowel movements, but it will most likely promote them rather than constipate you. This doesn’t affect everyone, and the effects of caffeine differ per person. In another study it was found that having a cup of coffee in the morning makes this process happen even faster: roughly twenty minutes after the subjects drank their coffee, they needed to use the bathroom already. Gastrin is a hormone that promotes digestion and speeds it up, causing you to have to have a bowel movement. In a study performed in 1986 it was found that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee stimulate the production of gastrin. In fact, coffee might even have a slight laxative effect – not on its own, but in combination with stomach acid. This way, there’s no way you’ll get constipated from consuming some caffeinated drinks. But coffee doesn’t cause dehydration! And if, besides coffee, you also drink some water throughout the day, you’ll more than make up for the slight diuretic effect of the coffee. Dehydration can cause constipation: if you lose too much water there’s not enough fluids left to properly process your stools. ![]() The myth that caffeinated drinks cause dehydration could actually be the reason why it’s also believed that they cause constipation. In short: coffee and other caffeinated drinks will not dehydrate you, especially if you drink them in moderation. To actually have a significant effect on your hydration status, you’d need to consume at least 500mg of caffeine a day – roughly 5 cups of coffee ! It is a fact that caffeine causes you to lose more water, but since you consume the caffeine as a beverage, you make up for it. This diuretic effect is probably the reason why the myth that “coffee dehydrates you” is still around. This means that it promotes the production of urine, meaning you lose more fluid. Caffeinated drinks dehydrate the bodyĬaffeine in itself is dehydrating: it has a mild diuretic effect. Keep reading to find out where some of these claims come from, and whether they’re actually true or false. Still, caffeine gets associated with some other things too. But it can also turn drinking coffee into a vicious circle: you’re battling grogginess with coffee which leads to grogginess which leads to drinking more coffee which leads to…. ![]() But because there is so much of it (you just had to drink that after-dinner espresso, didn’t you?) you’ll likely wake up with left-over adenosine in your body, making you groggy.Īnyway, based on these properties, you could say that caffeine is helpful: it’s known for being good at keeping you awake and alert, and rightfully so. By the time the caffeine wears off and adenosine can bind to its receptors again, this surplus of adenosine needs to be metabolised during your sleep. And then you wake up feeling groggy.Ĭaffeine can also be a cause for your morning grogginess: because caffeine blocks adenosine, the adenosine molecules heap up. Getting a good night’s sleep should metabolise them, but if you don’t sleep (well) enough, some of those molecules will linger. Ideally, you wake up without any adenosine molecules in your system. It wasn’t made for him, but he still sits on it. Just imagine your dog, hopping onto your favourite chair and claiming it. Caffeine has a similar chemical structure to adenosine, but it doesn’t bind to the adenosine receptors - it just blocks them. But caffeine prevents this from happening. Adenosine then sort of floats around until it finds a receptor it can bind to, which causes your muscles to relax and makes you feel sleepy. Īs the day passes, adenosine gets produced because you’re doing physical work, or because you’re using your brain intensively. ![]() When digested, caffeine partly goes to your brain, where it picks a fight with adenosine, the neurotransmitter responsible for making you feel drowsy. We can still feel the sleep in our eyes, our movements are sluggish, and we feel that between going back to bed, or drinking a cup of coffee, the latter is probably better as it won’t get us fired. Most of us can probably relate: if we had to choose between coffee or cereal, the first thing we’d consume in the morning would definitely be the drink – not just because we love the flavour, but because we need it. Since many people drink coffee, often even multiple times a day, we felt it was our civic duty as a nutritionally complete food company to investigate if any of these negative effects associated with coffee and caffeine are actually true. We all know that when you say "I need coffee”, you actually mean “I need caffeine” - and it seems we just can't get enough of the stuff! On the flipside, coffee and caffeine are associated with some negative effects: insomnia, hypertension, dehydration, and so on. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Meat Loaf in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). Richard O’brien originally wanted to play the role of Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not bad for something that started as the equivalent “doing the crossword puzzle” for O’Brien. It played for only a few dozen people a night, but eventually grew a following. Sharman took a liking to it, and convinced London’s Royal Court theater to give him a few weeks in the venue’s tiny Upstairs theater to stage a production. O’Brien poured his love of science fiction and horror films into the initial Rocky Horror songs, and eventually he showed the material to director Jim Sharman while they were working on a play together. ![]() What would eventually become The Rocky Horror Show, and later The Rocky Horror Picture Show, began as a way for Richard O’Brien “to spend winter evenings” when he wasn’t working as an actor. The Rocky Horror Picture Show began as a way to keep an unemployed actor busy. So, to celebrate more than four decades of Absolute Pleasure, here are some facts about the film. Since its release in 1975, it has remained the quintessential cult classic. People don’t just watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show, they live it-complete with costumes, props, and very vulgar audience participation. Then, as midnight showings continued, its following grew, and grew, and grew. First written as a small stage production by an out-of-work actor who wanted to pay homage to the B movies he loved, the film version flopped at the box office when it premiered in 1975. Bikes and leather and a pompadour and sideburns.Many movies can claim the title “ cult classic,” but few have ever embodied that term quite like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Halloween, if people start going out as you, as Eddie, what would the costume be for sale at Walmart? It’s pretty much like one of my birthday parties. When I saw the cast walking up the stairs, I thought, it’s just like an EDM concert. If I walked in and saw a bunch of fabulous kids in glam costumes, I would feel right at home. If you were driving in a storm and got a flat tire, had no cell phone, no Uber, and here’s this castle, and you knocked and saw what was inside, would you run or would you go, “Yes, party time!”?

Let’s see what you are wearing and your mutton chops.įirst of all, Eddie is just nasty. Meat Loaf did such an amazing job in the film, and actually Meat Loaf has been a really big supporter of mine publicly since I came out on Idol and I met him after Idol, so it’s kind of a cool connection.īut you haven’t talked to him about this: “Hey, I’m you!”? The thing that I like about it is it’s such a classic rock song. Your song “Hot Patootie” - did you know that like the back of your hand already from seeing the film? I would’ve liked to try actually, but I think it’s an insurance issue. It is bittersweet, because I’m bonding with the cast and everyone is really cool.

Quartz is used to sheathe a hot filament, which is typically made of nichrome. Infrared works in the same way as the sun, using radiation which means they can be used very effectively outside as well as inside. Rather than warming the air, infrared heating warms the objects in the room (furniture, walls, even people) and these increase the ambient temperature of the space. Heaters that use quartz are slightly different, in that they use infrared heating. Not as energy-efficient as ceramic or aluminium, wire-based heaters are still very effective. The longer the piece of wire, the more heat it will generate. Resistance wire can be coiled tight or used as flat strips. Made up of 80% nickel and 20% chromium, it has high resistance, is easy to shape, doesn’t oxidise in air or water (you will commonly see it in kettles), and doesn’t expand too much when heated. An alloy called nichrome is the most common material. ![]() Wire is a very popular heating element to use, and it’s often the cheapest to buy. Look out for models that are EcoDesign Lot 20 compliant if you want your heater to meet the highest standards for energy efficiency. This is great if you have limited space or just prefer a neater, sleeker look.īecause ceramic is so efficient at storing heat, it powers off once at the desired temperature and continues to warm the room using stored heat without using further electricity for several hours so it’s very cost-effective to run. It also means that it can produce a lot of heat from a small surface area, so ceramic heaters can often be very small. Ceramic is a very efficient conductor which allows it to heat up quickly, thereby requiring less energy. The best heating elements CeramicĬeramic is a popular material to use in panel heaters due to its high efficiency. We’ll include details about these aspects as well to help you make an informed decision. However, there are other aspects that should be taken into consideration such as energy efficiency, cost to buy, and cost to run. When we talk about the ‘best’ heating elements, we’re mainly referring to how well they allow a heater to warm the space. How well depends on the material and this is, in essence, what we’ll be looking at when we guide you through the best ones. As the current passes through it, it meets resistance – hence the name – which produces heat.īecause the heating element is made of a conductive material, it absorbs and retains heat well. This conductive material is the heating element. Resistive heating works by passing an electric current through a conductive material to produce heat. ![]() To understand heating elements and which ones work best in a heater, it’s useful to explain the concept of resistive heating, which most heaters work on the basis of. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you decide to take your own set of wheels, you'll find plenty of parking.

Vietnam was one of Anthony Bourdain’s favorite countries in the world. Inside, there is a small temple where locals come to pray to the Taoist god of weather. Over the past 400 years the small wooden bridge has been expertly restored several times today visitors must pay to walk across and the money is used to maintain it. It’s said that Vietnam was located on its back, and the bridge was used to pin down the monster and stop earthquakes in Japan. The dragon-like creature’s head is in India, and its tail is in Japan, causing earthquakes. While the straightforward reason it was built was to connect the Japanese section of the old town with the Chinese section, folklore says it was also made to subdue the Japanese monster mamazu. Mysteriously, the builder of the bridge is unknown to this day. Built in the late 16th century, it is one of the major symbols of Hội An and can be seen on Vietnam’s 20,000 dồng note. The symbol of the cityĮvery day an average of 4,000 people walk across Hội An’s Japanese Covered Bridge. They say this is the secret to what makes these thick noodles taste so good, though how much of that is marketing and how much is truth is up for debate. One of Hội An’s most famous dishes, cao lau (a noodle dish with pork and herbs), was once only made using the water from Ba Le Well. Locals still visit every day to get water for tea and cooking, believing it makes their food taste better and even has medicinal qualities. The well has never been damaged or gone dry. Located in an alley off Phan Chu Trinh Street in the old town, it’s marked by a UNESCO sign. Hội An has over 80 ancient wells dotting the city, but none is more famous than Ba Le Well, which is said to date back to 10th-century Cham times. On any given night, the small roads of Hội An’s old town are packed with local and international tourists sipping on tea from Mót Hội An (a popular café) and taking photographs. Due to a military agreement, it was luckily untouched during the Vietnam War, allowing it to become a thriving tourist center in the 1990s through today. In the late 19th century, nearby Da Nang became the country's main shipping port, while under French rule Hội An languished as an administrative center. This period brought Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch, Filipino, and French influences to the tiny riverside town. It evolved to become a bustling merchant town and a crucial fixture on the Silk Road from the 16th century to the 19th century. As far back as the 2nd century, Hội An was a busy and diverse trading port under the Champa Kingdom. Hội An’s history dates back over 2,200 years. Red symbolizes love, happiness and luck green means jealousy and lust and black represents evil. It’s said that each colored lantern has a different meaning.

Those guilty of serious sin can feel overwhelmed by the weight of their mistakes. ( 1 John 3:4-8) Those who “practice sin willfully,” even after learning how to do what is right, receive God’s adverse judgment.- Hebrews 10:26, 27. The Bible also makes a distinction between a single sin and a practice of sin over an extended period. ( Numbers 15:30, 31) Willful sins come from a “wicked heart.”- Jeremiah 16:12.įrequency. ( Acts 17:30 1 Timothy 1:13) While not excusing such sins, the Bible distinguishes them from sins that involve willfully breaking God’s laws. Some sins are committed in ignorance of what God requires. ( Proverbs 12:18 Ephesians 4:31, 32) Nevertheless, the Bible encourages us not to minimize any sins, since they can lead to more serious violations of God’s laws.- Matthew 5:27, 28. ( 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Revelation 21:8) The Bible contrasts these with thoughtless, unintentional sins, for example, words or actions that hurt others. The Bible warns us to avoid such serious sins as sexual immorality, idolatry, stealing, drunkenness, extortion, murder, and spiritism. For example, the Bible says that the men of ancient Sodom were “wicked, gross sinners” whose sin was “very heavy.” ( Genesis 13:13 18:20) Consider three factors that determine the gravity, or weight, of sin. ( Romans 5:12) As King David of Israel said, “I was born guilty of error.”- Psalm 51:5. ( Genesis 3:5, 6, 17-19) When they had children, they passed on sin and imperfection as inherited defects. ( Genesis 1:27) However, they lost their perfection by disobeying God.

Sin-eater is attested from 1680s, 'one who, for pay, takes on the sins of a deceased person,' typically by eating certain food in the presence of the corpse. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were sinless in the beginning. The Bible says that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” ( Romans 3:23 1 Kings 8:46 Ecclesiastes 7:20 1 John 1:8) Why is that so? Is it possible to avoid sinning completely? ( Revelation 4:11) We are accountable to him for our actions.- Romans 14:12. ![]() For example, a group of soldiers in ancient Israel were so adept at slinging stones that they “would not miss.” That expression, if translated literally, could read “would not sin.” ( Judges 20:16) Thus, to sin is to miss the mark of God’s perfect standards.Īs the Creator, God has the right to set standards for mankind. In the Bible’s original languages, the words for sin mean “to miss a mark,” or a target. ( 1 John 3:4 5:17) The Bible also describes sins of omission-that is, failing to do what is right.- James 4:17. It includes breaking God’s laws by doing what is wrong, or unrighteous, in God’s sight.

Some etymologists believe the Germanic word was an early borrowing directly from the Latin genitive. The semantic development would be via the notion of "to be truly the one (who is guilty)," as in Old Norse phrase verð sannr at "be found guilty of," and the use of the phrase "it is being" in Hittite confessional formula. "the sin is real" (compare Gothic sonjis, Old Norse sannr "true"), from PIE *snt-ya-, a collective form from *es-ont- "becoming," present participle of the root *es- "to be." The notion is probably ultimately "it is true," i.e. Middle English sinne, from Old English synn, syn "violation of divine law, offense against God moral wrongdoing," also "injury, mischief enmity, feud guilt, crime, misdeed," from Proto-Germanic *sundiō "sin" (source also of Old Saxon sundia, Old Frisian sende, Middle Dutch sonde, Dutch zonde, German Sünde "sin, transgression, trespass, offense," extended forms). ![]() |
