...The Scene: A Frozen Moment in Time “A photograph is not just the result of an encounter between an event and a photographer, picture-taking is an event in itself, and one with ever more peremptory rights – to interfere with, to invade, or to ignore whatever is going on” (Sontag, 11). Photography narrates the world. A simple photograph can freeze time, halt any moment you please. Photographers have a choice to choose between telling a narrative and expressing art. But when it comes down to it, no matter how complete or comprehensive a narrative appears it will always be the product of including some elements and excluding others based on what the creator wants to be viewed. Inclusion/exclusion is part of what construction is all about, but knowing what is best included or excluded requires an understanding of context. With narrative or art photography events are not found objects waiting to be discovered, they are created, whether by the photographer or the person within the photograph. If it is a live action, journalistic photograph, something led up to that moment in time, it was created. In photography, narrative is related to the idea of context, that is where the photographer comes in and adds their point of view and taste on a subject matter. Ralph Eugene Meatyard uses a narrative format to portray exactly what he wants to be seen in his photographs “Untitled” ca. 1960 and “Romance (N.) from Ambrose Bierce #3” from portfolio 3 ca. 1964.

...[스크랩] 한국교회가 종말론에 무관심하게 된 두 가지 이유 2012/08/09 10:17 * 아래 글은 대부분의 목회자들이 무관심하거나 또는 음모론으로 가볍게 여기고 있는 종말에 관한 성경의 예언들과 이것이 실현되고 있는 사건들에 대해서, 평신도인 자신이 관심을 갖고 심각하게 받아들이는 것이 혹시 잘못된 것은 아닌지 물어오신 분에게 올린 답글입니다. 먼저 분명히 말씀드리고 싶은 것은 종말에 관한 성경의 예언들이 실현되고 있는 사실에 무지하고 무관심한 것은 한국교회만 가지고 있는 특이한 현상이라는 것입니다. 이미 일루미나티들에 의해 정치와 언론이 장악되어 언제 빅브라더의 세계로 갈 지 모른다는 위기의식을 느끼고 있는 보수적인 미국교회 성도들은 대부분, 지금이 바로 성경이 예언하고 있는 종말의 시대라는데 동감하고 있습니다. 또 우리나라에선 이 땅에 적그리스도의 나라를 세우려고 하는 일루미나티들의 정체를 폭로하고, 종말에 관한 성경의 예언들이 실현되고 있음을 알리는 대부분의 사역을 평신도들이 주도하고 있지만, 미국 교회 안에서는 성경을 깊이있게 연구하는 신학자와 목회자들이 주도하고 있습니다. 유투브나 구글에서 이에 관한 내용들을 검색해보면 얼마나 많은 신학자와 목회자들이 임박한 하나님의 심판을 경고하는 사역을 (목숨 걸고) 하고 있는지 알 수 있을 겁니다. 한국교회가 종말론에 대해 무관심하게 된 것은 다음 두 가지 원인이 결정적인 역할을 했다고 봅니다. 1. 1992년 다미 선교회 사건이 교회 안에서 종말에 대해서 말하는 것을 터부시하는 계기가 되었습니다. 1992년 10월 28일 '휴거의 사건'이 일어나고 곧 바로 7년 대환난이 시작될 것이라고 주장해서 사회적인 물의를 일으켰던 다미선교회 사건으로 인해, 한국교회 안에서는 휴거 환난 혹은 종말에 대해서 언급하는 것을 터부시하는 경향이 생겨났고, 그 결과 여기에 대한 신학적인 연구도 끊어진 상태입니다. 2. 교회성장학과 번영신학에 영향을 받은 많은 목회자들이 종말과 심판보다는 현세에서 물질적으로 복받고 성공하는 것이 곧 신앙생활의 궁극적인 목적인 것처럼 가르치면서, 자연스럽게 종말과 심판에 관한 메시지가 사라진 것입니다. 언젠가 인터넷에서 1980년대 조용기 목사님이 다니엘서를 강해하시면서 장차 유럽연합에서 대통령이 탄생하게 되면 그가 적그리스도가 될 가능성이 높고, 이를 전후로해서 휴거의 사건과 7년 대환난이 임하게 될 것이라고 열정적으로 설교하시는 동영상을 본 적이 있습니다. 그런데 정작 당신이 설교한대로 유럽연합에서 대통령이 탄생하였고 한걸음 더 나가 유럽연합이 이제 유럽합중국으로 가게 될 것이라는 소식도 들려오고 있는데, 현재 이 사건에 대해서 어떠한 해설이나 설교도 내놓고 있지 않습니다. 본인이 설교한대로 종말에 관한 성경의 예언들이 실현되고 있는 모습을 지켜보면서도 여기에 대해선 침묵으로 일관하고 있고, 그저 이 땅에서 성공하고 축복받아야 한다는 설교만 반복하고 있습니다. 더구나 최근에는 로마 바티칸(일루미나티...

...Things are always changing. Seasons change, people change, policy and leadership changes, even the broadcast time of Scandal is prone to change. Change is so common in fact that it might as well be the one true foundation on which everything else lies. The most overarchingly impactful of these changes, for better or worse, is centered around changes in policy and legislation. Especially in the last twenty or so years changes such as the recent ones of administrations and regarding social issues such as welfare and and healthcare have greatly impacted American lives. In addition to those changes our vision of the American Dream and how one obtains it has also changed drastically. It is hard to say if the changes are for the better or worse objectively. Surely they were better for some and worse for others, but either way the changes have been quite impactful. Changes in administration have the most obvious and overarching effect on the lives of “everyday Americans” whether we realize it or not. In the past few decades we have gone from Ronald Reagan to George H.W. Bush to Clinton to Bush Jr to Obama and most recently to Trump. The most obvious change regarding those administrations is that in past twenty or so years we have switched political parties four times. With each incoming party there are have naturally been different sets of values and goals,...

...No it's not proof, but that's why it's called faith. What helped calm my searching, is accepting that answers regarding God will always outnumber my questions regarding God. Yes, look for answers, but keep your mind open and accept there will continue to be unknown. Ok, going on a tangent, read and come along if you'd like. The currently most accepted physics theory regarding the creation of our universe is the big bang. Within this theory it summarizes that prior to the big bang time itself did not exist. So some theorists (including hawking) have said there was no time for God to exist prior to the Big bang, so therefore God does not exist. I see this oppositely that only a God could surpass a void of space and time to begin time, the universe, our world and humanity and more with one Big bang. Bible verses elated to time: Psalms 90:4 says, "For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night." Psalm 90: A thousand years are to God but the blink of an eye, and we are like grass that blossoms in the morning and withers the same day, cut down and brittle by evening. Genesis 1:1-2:4 the creation verses: There are seven periods of creation recorded in the beginning of Genesis. Although each of these has been translated as a “day”, the Hebrew word is “yom” which simply means a period of time with a beginning and an ending. It is unlikely to be a solar day since the sun, moon and stars do not appear until the fourth “day”...

...associates time-sheet. Further investigation revealed that the team supervisor allowed the employee to report unearned hours in that pay period. Lei also discovered that the employee handbook did not completely cover all of their duties and responsibilities. This left Lei no other choice, but to review and update the existing control system. Four Steps of Control System Although Bateman and Snell identify four steps that managers must take to introduce or improve the existing control system, Rao and Shankar also introduce a preliminary step - key areas to be monitored (p.170). In this particular case, Lei has already identified the type of discrepancy and the possible cause of it. Their employee handbook has not been updated and, thus, was lacking description of their duties and responsibilities as well as various operational procedures. Therefore the main area that Lei must focus on is to bring the handbook up to date. Lei could perform this task herself or delegate it to one of her regional managers. Step 1. Setting performance standards. The employee handbook will serve as a guidance for the employees and as a reference book for the managers to evaluate their performance. The updating process should take a couple of weeks, so that Lei herself or a manager is capable of reviewing the operational process, pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses or each sandwich shop, analyze and systematize collected data and put down generalized standards and regulations, regarding employees'...

There will be no comments towards any existing practices during the first meeting so as to not put any of the three VPs in a defensive mood. * An introductory of who I am and my credentials (as per CV). I would tell them that I have read their respective CVs as well and that from my understanding they are highly capable individuals for their respective tasks. This should set the tone of the meeting at equal footing, letting them feel that I have taken the time to know who they are as professionals. * I would then continue by asking them about what type of culture will I expect to find within the organization, highlighting the fact that this is what was built by the former CEO. The aim here is to make them feel proud talking about the existing culture so as to draw as much information as possible. This should also draw out any routines or work activities that they used to do with the former CEO. I will be anticipating that they will give good points and comments regarding what culture they have for they were part of the management that built it. * I will move forward from here by asking them if they think the current culture is consistent with company long term goals.
