It will readily be discovered, by every correct theologian, who has made himself in any good degree acquainted with the mission and proceedings of his divine Master while travelling on earth to proclaim that gospel for which he was made a hiss and a by- word among the bigoted and unbelieving of that generation, as delineated and set forth by the inspired penmen; that, although the above declaration was made some eighteen hundred years since, and that one, to individuals who had followed him with unvarying fidelity through the various stages of his afflictions and persecutions, even to the death of the cross, the same epithet would apply with much greater force, not only to the unbelieving Jews, who, rejecting his sacred precepts and spurning his examples of holiness, perpetrated their last scheme of cruelty towards him by taking his life, but also to the people of the present age. Indeed, were we to compare the prevailing belief in the professing world at the present day, with the unbelief entertained by the Jews, anciently, so near a similarity would be found to exist as would silence all controversy upon the subject.

It appears to have made no part of the numerous complaints uttered by the Savior against the Jews that they entertained no fixed principles of belief, neither that they were destitute of faith in some things that the prophets had spoken; but, it seems to have been, as in the case of the two disciples, a lack of confidence in "..." of which Jesus so frequently complained, and in consequence of which he pronounced the heaviest woes and curses upon that generation. That the Jews verily thought they believed all that the prophets had spoken, there is no manner of doubt; but when the Son of God plainly declared, "..." all their pretensions to faith in the writings of that prophet, seemed to vanish. They well knew to acknowledge all, would have been to abjure their religion, renounce their own pretensions to holiness, lay aside the traditions of their elders, and embrace the babe of Bethlehem as their Messiah and King.

That the present generation has fallen after the same example of unbelief, will not, as we before said, be doubted by those who are acquainted with the "..."--In order to illustrate this, we shall quote, not those sayings from the writings of the prophets, which, from their liability to misconstruction have been made, by the world, to mean any thing or nothing as the case might be (for now, as anciently, many have a peculiar faculty for manufacturing faiths, religions and gods to suit their own fancy) but to show, by an exhibition of some of the most meaning, prominent and unequivocal prophecies transmitted to us in the sacred record, that our position is entirely tenable, viz: that this generation is deeply implicated by the language of our text.

evidently relates to the last days. The prophet XXPROPHET has said, in the 11th chapter of his prophecy, 11th and 12th verses: "..." Again, the same prophet declares, chap. XXNUMBER, ver. XXNUMBER: "..." Now, that the people of this generation do not believe in these important sayings of the prophet, is evident from like testimony as that upon which the Jews were convicted: they did not believe in the manner of the fulfillment of the prophecies of XXPROPHET, neither do the world in this day believe in the means ordained of God for the fulfillment of those just quoted. We mean the ushering in of a new and entirely diverse order of things from any before existing on earth; or, as the apostle Paul expresses it, in XXSCRIP: "..." in which God should, literally, not only gather together the remnants of Israel and all nations, as represented by the above quotations, in one, but also all things in him, both which were in heaven, and which were on earth.

This era, dispensation, or order of things, has been brilliantly signalized in its commencement by the coming forth of the XXBOOKOFMORMON, that prodigy of modern discovery, about which so little is known, yet so much excitement prevails in the religious world.--We would think mankind quite justified in rejecting this wonderful production, were it not supported, and proven to their understandings by as numerous and unequivocal prophetic references as was the divine mission of Jesus to the Jews. As the opening key to the dispensation above referred to, the XXBOOKOFMORMON may be well authenticated to the satisfaction of every honest believer in divine revelation, by testimony both ancient and modern.  In XXSCRIP, the reader will see according to the blessing pronounced by Jacob upon his grandsons Ephraim and Manassah, that they were to grow to a "..." Again, the same subject is alluded to in XXSCRIP inclusive.--Let the reader turn to, and examine this quotation carefully, for it is very important to our purpose, but is too lengthy for insertion in full. In the last verse of this quotation, the patriarch Jacob says, "..." Now, we have before seen, that the blessing of Joseph’s progenitors was "..."
 fully warrants us in drawing that conclusion. Again, in the first verse of the above quotation, we have evidence in substantiation of this fact. Jacob says, "..." or sea, for this the reader will perceive is the real meaning by examining the 8th ver. of the 16th chapter of XXPROPHET. Now, the beauty of this simile or figure can only be discovered by those who take the pains to contrast it with the literal fact as it occurred; the relation of which may be found in the XXBOOKOFMORMON, XXSCRIP, where a remnant of the branches or seed of Joseph are represented as crossing the sea, and settling this continent of North and South America.  So much of the history of the aborigines of America is known to the world, as would render any attempt to show that they have not been, and are not even still "..." perfectly vain and futile. Such was ostensibly the fact at the first settlement of the country by Europeans, and must, according to all human calculations, have existed to a greater extent previous to that time, from the well known coincidence that no social compact, existed among the different tribes, by which their national individuality could be perpetuated; and from a succession of intestine wars to which they were peculiarly addicted, they must have been diminished and commingled with other clans. As to their location, we leave it for the learned to say whether they actually occupy those degrees of latitude which with propriety may be said to comprehend "..."
 Nor are its advocates, as many have supposed, destitute of the necessary evidence to establish the fact. Besides the unimpeachable testimony of many good men, whose characters for truth and probity rank high in the circles of their acquaintance, they have the sacred word of God, and the fruits and gifts of his divine Spirit to bear testimony to its authenticity.-- XXPROPHET says, XXSCRIP, (and let the reader mark the expression,) "..."--Again, XXSCRIP, "..." XXSCRIP, "..." Again, XXSCRIP, "..." The Lord says by the prophet XXSCRIP, in speaking of Ephraim, XXSCRIP, "..." Again, XXPROPHET, in the 37th chapter of his prophecy, makes mention of the same "..." of the law of God, and calls it the "..."
 He goes so far in the 29th chap. of his prophecy as to relate several very important particulars concerning this truth that should spring out of the earth--says "..." should be delivered to him that was learned, "..." and he should say, I cannot--that the book should then be delivered to him that was unlearned, etc. Let the reader turn to and examine the whole chapter.  Secondly, That truth is the law, commandments or word of God. Thirdly, That the great things of that law, word or commandments of God were written unto Ephraim, or the descendants of Joseph, and Fourthly, That the XXBOOKOFMORMON is that record. Now, if the world will know whether truth has sprung out of the earth, let them candidly consider and accredit the foregoing evidences, as well as the internal testimony of the record itself. If they would understand what "..." of the law of God written unto Ephraim, are, we point them to the XXBOOKOFMORMON. Should dubiety exist in the minds of any as to the real meaning of the prophecies of XXPROPHET and XXPROPHET, above referred to, we confidently assert, read the XXBOOKOFMORMON learn--its history--study and obey its precepts, and the light of heaven will abundantly illuminate your understandings.

In conclusion we would observe, that vain are the pretensions and professions of a bewildered world, to faith in the divine oracles of God, so long as they array themselves against his work and purposes by opposing the XXBOOKOFMORMON; and, until they cease their unholy and heaven-offending warfare, break off their sins by righteousness, and "..." we may with propriety adapt towards them the language of the Savior: "..."

Stir of Echoes ***1/2
Rated on a 4-star scale Screening venue: Odeon (Liverpool City Centre) Released in the UK by Fox on May 26, 2000; certificate 15; 99 minutes; country of origin USA; aspect ratio 1.85:1
Directed by David Koepp; produced by Judy Hofflund, Gavin Polone. Written by David Koepp; based on the novel by Richard Matheson. Photographed by Fred Murphy; edited by Jill Savitt.
CAST..... Kevin Bacon..... Tom Witzky Kathryn Erbe..... Maggie Witzky Ileana Douglas..... Lisa Liza Weil..... Debbie Kozac, the babysitter Kevin Dunn..... Frank McCarthy Conor O'Farrell..... Harry Damon Jenny Morrison..... Samantha Zachary David Cope..... Jake Witzky
"Stir of Echoes" is one of the year's best films, is based on a best selling novel, and features Kevin Bacon in one of his most skilful performances. Films of this calibre don't often hit our screens. And yet it has arrived with little advance buzz and a cheap publicity campaign. Why? Maybe because people are still eating up "The Sixth Sense", the ghost story from last year that got six Oscar nominations and topped box office charts. "Stir of Echoes" shames that silly con trick, matching its spooky atmosphere in every frame, and going much further in developing a story.
Bacon plays Tom Witzky, a blue-collar guy from Chicago who one night jokingly dares his kooky sister-in-law Lisa (Ileana Douglas) to hypnotise him. "How can you believe in all that superstitious crap?" he asks. When Lisa has him under, she leaves him with what's known as a Post-Hypnotic Suggestion, leaving a message in his brain. She asks him to be more open-minded.
And that he becomes, but not in the way she intended. After Tom wakes up he has disturbing visions and feelings of strange sickness, because he's now a 'receiver' -- a person able to see everything around him, both material and supernatural. His son Jake (Zachary David Cope) has always had the gift, and tells his father "Don't be afraid of it, daddy." When Tom calms down, and tries to make sense of the phenomena going on around him, he realises he's being haunted by the ghost of a dead teenage girl who wants him to unearth something related to her memory.
There are a lot of plot threads in "Stir of Echoes", all of which somehow become related to this girl. But they don't feel like story manoeuvres, they feel like atmosphere, because everything is set up through either realistic supporting characters or Tom's visions. Things are glimpsed just enough so we can mark and remember them, but not so much that we can figure out what everything means or is leading up to. While we're watching the movie, all we can focus on is the fact that Tom is going through something weird, and I found myself shivering, jumping and glaring in disgusted disbelief, as the haunting got more serious, tormenting and dominating Tom's life. We see what he sees, and it gets under our skin by coming in violent flashes, through bizarre angles, colours and speeds.
Disorientating apparitions alone cannot carry a film. Here they are supported by a) cinematography whose dark, shady tones walk the line between realistic and spooky, so we can never quite relax; and b) a performance of intensity from Bacon. He's not always cast in sombre roles, but he's perfect for them -- his good looks and sense of humour can always win audiences over, and his strong features and hungry face mean that when his character is taking something seriously, we do too. In "Stir of Echoes" he plays a man whose head gets torn apart, and we're sure as hell let know it.
It's also good to see a picture like this set in a regular neighbourhood; usually in these movies only the affluent get ghouls or spirits coming to visit. That's one example of the richness of "Stir of Echoes", which is as detailed in texture as a novel, and doesn't contain standard movie clichés like Tom taking a long time to realise the obvious, or keeping his experiences secret from his wife. Consider also the final shot, which is not just a cheap scare, but a remembrance of the implications of the story. I haven't read the Richard Matheson source material, and in fact perhaps I should stop reading books altogether. After all, most of the literary adaptations I have enjoyed this year have been based on things I haven't read. Then again, maybe this is just a wonderful movie.

We also serve freshly cooked food or raw grains to our partnered shelter homes and beneficiaries.


Although the broadcaster predicted the weather to be downcast, the forecast was ultimately optimistic and the broadcast ended on an upbeat note. [G|D]
The actor was miscast in his role so he was made an outcast and the film's opencast set was destroyed in the process. [G|D]
The precast parts of the set were too gloomy due to the overcast sky and had to be recast with brighter colors in order to make the scene look more vibrant. [G|D]
The actor was typecast to a certain role and, as a result, all his future roles were somewhat similar and, for his latest project, he was simulcast on all major TV channels for the telecast. [G|D]

This project deals with the finding of ultimate place to date according to the preferences. Now you can find the best place to date for any country. The idea is to use the Foursquare API to collect information about the neighbourhood of the place that is provided. So we will collect data, and make this a geo-scatter-plot. We will use k-means to cluster that to some extent to get the best place which have maximum of those preferences. The preferences are given by the user and a country/ location is selected! then we will able to visualise the best place to date. The github link is provided for demonstration.
