two points with regard to the logical dimen-sion of incorporeal sense to be related to the physical notion of theincorporeal event-effe

Sense is something ‘extra’ – an altogetherdifferent type of entity – added on to or extracted from the actualutterance. It thus follows that in order to explicitly state the sense ofwhat I say, the sense of my utterance must be taken as the object ofa second utterance. But this second utterance also expresses a sensewhich is, in turn, not identical with that utterance

incorporeal sense

Zeichen-Sinn-Bedeutung

two are bodies – the utterance and the name-bearer; but one isincorporeal – the state of affairs signified and sayable, which is true orfalse.

The predicate shouldperhaps be thought of less as an extra entity that appears on the scenethan as an aspect of the cut flesh which we abstract in order to present aproper causal analysis

For the Stoics, whena physical body acts upon another such body, it produces an effector event which is not itself a body but an incorporeal predicate orsayable, corresponding to the verb of the proposition

Place is defined, by contrast, asthis which an existent effectively does occupy, or which can be par-tially occupied and partially unoccupied with respect to a particularbody, though without being itself a body

We Americans are not destroyers—we are builders. We are now in the midst of a war, not for conquest, not for vengeance, but for a world in which this nation, and all that this nation represents, will be safe for our children.

We are now in this war. We are all in it—all the way. Every single man, woman and child is a partner in the most tremendous undertaking of our American history.

With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy

Modifi-cations in the constitution of the Church resulted from theattempt to separate regenerate from unregenerate Christians,those who were from those who were not prepared for thesacrament, to keep the government of the Church or someother privilege in the hands of the former, and only to ordainministers of whom there was no question

his conscious-ness of divine grace of the elect and holy was accompanied by anattitude toward the sin of one’s neighbour, not of sympatheticunderstanding based on consciousness of one’s own weakness,but of hatred and contempt for him as an enemy of God bearingthe signs of eternal damnation

he idea of the necessity of proving one’sfaith in worldly activity

the world the spiritual aristocracy of the predestined saints ofGod within the world

In practice this means that God helps those who help them-selves.63 Thus the Calvinist, as it is sometimes put, himselfcreates64 his own salvation, or, as would be more correct, theconviction of it. But this creation cannot, as in Catholicism, con-sist in a gradual accumulation of individual good works to one’scredit, but rather in a systematic self-control which at everymoment stands before the inexorable alternative, chosen orthe religious foundations of worldly asceticism 69

They are the tech-nical means, not of purchasing salvation, but of getting rid of thefear of damnation. In this sense they are occasionally referred toas directly necessary for salvation61 or the possessio salutis is madeconditional on them

Deep-lying differences of the mostimportant conditions of salvation 50 which apply to the classifica-tion of all practical religious activity appear here. The religiousbeliever can make himself sure of his state of grace either in thathe feels himself to be the vessel of the Holy Spirit or the tool ofthe divine will.

so to speak, be considered the mostsuitable means of counteracting feelings of religious anxiety,finds its explanation in the fundamental peculiarities of religiousfeeling in the Reformed Church, which come most clearly tolight in its differences from Lutheranism in the doctrine of justi-fication by faith.

On the other hand, in order toattain that self-confidence intense worldly activity is recom-mended as the most suitable means.47

The exhortation of the apostle to make fast one’s own callis here interpreted as a duty to attain certainty of one’s ownelection and justification in the daily struggle of life.

So far as predestination was not reinterpreted, toneddown, or fundamentally abandoned, 44 two principal, mutuallyconnected, types of pastoral advice appea

How was this doctrine borne36in an age to which the after-life was not only more important,but in many ways also more certain, than all the interests of lifein this world?

Brotherly love, since it may only be prac-tised for the glory of God33 and not in the service of the flesh, 34is expressed in the first place in the fulfilment of the daily tasksgiven by the lex naturæ and in the process this fulfilment assumes apeculiarly objective and impersonal character, that of service inthe interest of the rational organization of our social environ-ment.

. In spite of the necessity of mem-bership in the true Church 27 for salvation, the Calvinist’s inter-course with his God was carried on in deep spiritual isolation

There was not only no magical means of attaining the grace ofGod for those to whom God had decided to deny it, but nomeans whatever.

The genuine Puritan even rejected all signs of religious cere-mony at the grave and buried his nearest and dearest withoutsong or ritual in order that no superstition, no trust in the effectsof magical and sacramental forces on salvation, should creep in

his, the complete elimination of salvation through the Churchand the sacraments (which was in Lutheranism by nomeans developed to its final conclusions), was what formed theabsolutely decisive difference from Catholicism.

On the other hand, however, we have no intention whateverof maintaining such a foolish and doctrinaire thesis32 as that thespirit of capitalism (in the provisional sense of the termexplained above

Calvin

ne may attain salvation in any walk oflife; on the short pilgrimage of life there is no use in layingweight on the form of occupation.

But at least onething was unquestionably new: the valuation of the fulfilment ofduty in worldly affairs as the highest form which the moralactivity of the individual could assume

Rationalism is an historical concept which coversa whole world of different things. It will be our task to find outwhose intellectual child the particular concrete form of rationalthought was, from which the idea of a calling and the devotionto labour in the calling has grown, which is, as we have seen,so irrational from the standpoint of purely eudæmonisticself-interest, but which has been and still is one of the mostcharacteristic elements of our capitalistic culture

o speak here of a reflection ofmaterial conditions in the ideal superstructure would be patentnonsense

Their life-work was, so long as they clung to thetradition of the Church, at best something morally indifferent. Itwas tolerated, but was still, even if only on account of the con-tinual danger of collision with the Church’s doctrine on usury,somewhat dangerous to salvation

In such circumstances men’s commercial andsocial interests do tend to determine their opinions and atti-tudes. Whoever does not adapt his manner of life to the condi-tions of capitalistic success must go under, or at least cannot rise.But these are phenomena of a time in which modern capitalismhas become dominant and has become emancipated from its oldsupport

What does it mean exactly to recognise properties and relations as objective entities?

When transgender citizens and workers askedthe state to recognize their gender and to treat andpay them accordingly, their pushback made visiblethe way that new technologies, far from being neu-tral, were in fact a battleground in the process ofdefining and stabilizing “traditional” or normativeconcepts of gender

NATURAL RESOURCESINTRODUCTIONThis section describes both the land and water resources of Shenandoah County. Itpresents information on the County's topography, geology, soils, and water resources. Theseresources provide many opportunities, but also pose some severe environmental problems.Development should be guided away from areas with serious limitations, such as steep slopes,shallow depth to bedrock, flood plains, prime agricultural lands, wetlands, and sinkholes. Mapsshowing general geology, general soils, the hydrogeologic survey of Shenandoah County, andgeneralized development limitations are included.Natural resources were briefly addressed in individual paragraphs about topography,climatology, minerals, soils, hydrology, and forests in the 1973 Plan, along with a general soilsmap. Soils data has since been updated with the Shenandoah County Soils Survey.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Limestone & Karst Terrain The Valley’s abundant limestone is evidence that the area was once under ocean water, long before the tectonic plates collided. Limestone forms in warm, shallow seas when generations of tiny sea creatures die and accumulate on the ocean floor, later to compress into solid rock. Karst Because of its limestone base, the Shenandoah Valley is karst, a terrain type with distinctive landforms and water resources. Slightly acidic water wore through the bedrock over many millions of years, leaving caves, caverns, and sinkholes. Streams and springs disappear and reappear over time. Aquifers Water that filters through the rocks collects in underground reservoirs, or aquifers. Aquifers are underground rock layers filled with groundwater in the spaces between fractured limestone, silt, gravel, and sand. Aquifers closer to the surface, used for irrigation and drinking water, are re-charged by rainwater. They are very useful but also extremely vulnerable to contamination. Caves & Caverns The water that dissolves limestone and other soluble rocks in the Shenandoah Valley leaves behind caves and caverns. In some caves and caverns, the deposits of dissolved minerals left by dripping water make the features of stalactites, stalagmites, and columns. Luray Caverns, a National Natural Landmark in the Valley, is ornately decorated with cascades, columns, stalactites, stalagmites and pools. Other Rocks & Minerals Many rocks and minerals occupy the Shenandoah Valley besides limestone. Other sedimentary rocks in the region are sandstone, shale, and coal. There are igneous rocks like granite, gabbro, and basalt, and metamorphic rocks like slate, gneiss, and quartzite. Manganese, iron ores, zinc, lead, sulfur, gypsum, and pyrite are relatively common Shenandoah Valley minerals. The Valley yields small amounts of oil and natural gas. Also present is red clay, an oceanic sediment with iron oxide, along with fossils of sea creatures like brachiopods and trilobites.

Mountain & Valley Building About half a billion years ago, the rocks that now make up the Shenandoah Valley solidified from ancient tidal flat sediments into vast, horizontal layers of limestone, shale, sandstone, and dolomite.

What are the rules for open burning in Virginia? The State Air Pollution Control Board’s Regulation for Open Burning specifies what materials may or may not be burned, and has seasonal restrictions on open burning for certain localities. The Virginia Department of Forestry provides information regarding outdoor fire laws and burn ban restrictions. What am I not allowed to burn? No one in Virginia may burn tires or other hazardous materials at any time. Regulation 9VAC-130-30 has a complete list of opening burning prohibitions. If you live in an area that restricts open burning, you must observe your local ordinance. If you live in an area with a smog problem, there are specific prohibitions on certain activities during the prime smog months of May through September. What can I burn? If you live in an area that does not have a local burning ordinance and you do not have curbside pickup, you can burn leaves and some household trash. Regulation 9VAC5-130-40 has a complete list of what and when households and certain businesses may burn. Helpful Tips: • Keep a garden hose handy in case of sudden, uncontrolled fire spread. • Burn dry leaves. Wet leaves produce unnecessary smoke. • Burn small piles no more than 3-feet wide and 2-feet tall. Large piles do not always burn completely. • Never use gas, lighter fluid, or any other fuel to kindle or rekindle a fire. If leaves need fuel to burn, they are too wet, creating potential for injury. • Keep small children away from fires and out of the smoke.

Virginia law restricts outdoor burning from Feb. 15 through April 30 every year, when high winds are most prevalent during daytime hours. Outdoor burning is only permitted between 4 p.m. and midnight during this 11-week period.   Burning garbage, refuse, trash, rubbish, and other forms of liquid or solid waste is prohibited at all times in Clarke County. Burning wood, brush, grass, trimmings, and/or leaves is permitted in all areas of Clarke County, provided: • Fire must be a minimum of 50 feet from any structure and 300 feet from any occupied dwelling. • Anyone who intends to burn brush must have written permission from those who occupy dwellings 300 feet away. • Anyone who intends to burn brush must constantly attend the fire at all times. • Burning must be done in such a way as to minimize any nuisance to neighbors. • Open burning for land and site clearing operations for commercial, industrial, or residential development is permitted only after obtaining a permit from Clarke County Fire & EMS and Emergency Management. Call (540) 955-5113. Open burning for these purposes is permitted provided conditions required by Clarke County Fire, EMS & Emergency Management and Clarke County Building Department are met. Recreational bonfires and campfires are permitted if the fuel consists only of seasonal dry hardwood, ignited with a small quantity of paper. Fires can be no more than 5-by-5 feet in circumference and may not burn more than 3 hours at any one time. At no time shall bonfires or campfires be used for waste disposal purposes. Helpful Tips: • Keep a garden hose handy in case of sudden, uncontrolled fire spread. • Burn dry leaves. Wet leaves produce unnecessary smoke. • Burn small piles no more than 3-feet wide and 2-feet tall.

eptic Tank Cleaning Repair and Installation You might feel overwhelmed or clueless about where your septic is going?  Do not worry, Johnny Blue is here to help educate you and other homeowners about how their septic works and why it is very important to have it maintained.  With experience and knowledge, the licensed experts at Johnny Blue Inc. understand that when a septic back up happens, it needs attention right away.  If you have an emergency, we have experienced staff standing by who are ready to help.  When it comes to regular maintenance, we recommend pumping the solid tank every 3-5 years.  When solids are not pumped regularly, the solid waste material can enter your drainfield and cause clog.  Septic repair can be very simple like cleaning a filter or it can also be costly like replacement of a drainfield.  If you have questions, call us.  We are here to help you!  Our team of licensed professional does not cut corners.  Quality work is the only work we do.

Our Septic Installation Process Our approach to septic tank installation service is comprehensive and meticulous. Here’s a quick look at how we handle each project: 1. Site Evaluation We first visit your property to assess the best location for your new septic system. This involves evaluating the land layout, proximity to water bodies, and other crucial factors. 2. Soil Testing We perform soil testing to determine the soil’s capacity to absorb and treat wastewater. This step is critical in ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of your septic system. 3. Permit Acquisition We handle all the paperwork for you, acquiring the necessary permits for septic tank installation according to local regulations. 4. Excavation and Tank Placement Our team carefully excavates the site and strategically places the tank to ensure optimal functionality. 5. Leach Field Installation We then install the leach or drain field to distribute the treated wastewater into the ground. 6. Final Inspection After the installation, we conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure everything functions as it should.

An average of 40 percent of wells tested across Clarke County in the 1990s had coliform levels that exceeded water quality standards. Recent studies of Clarke County wells indicate 57 percent of samples have coliform levels exceeding water quality standards, indicating a worsening problem for the groundwater, which is the source of well water.

2024 General Reassessment process As required by law, Clarke County has been working on a general reassessment of real estate in the county this past year. To complete this work, the county hired Wampler-Eanes to visit each property and provide an updated value of the property and improvements. Wampler-Eanes also completed a sales ratio report based on recent real estate transactions in the county. While the final numbers are still being computed, we do expect a significant increase in values as the last reassessment was completed in 2019. A recent Washington Post article noted that nationwide, home prices have surged 54% since 2019. The new values become effective January 1, 2025.

There arethree major ways in which semiosis relates to other elements of social practices and of social events:as a facet of action; in the construal (representation) of aspects of the world; and in the constitutionof identities. And there are three semiotic (or discourse-analytical) categories corresponding tothese: genre, discourse and style.

The social process can be seen as the interplay between three levels of social reality: socialstructures, practices and events

The Blitz, as the British called the nightly bombing raids on London, killed at least 40,000 civilians.

But no one in the U.S government was going to propose declaring war on Japan to save the Chinese.

Japanese troops raped up to 100,000 women and girls and then shot or bayonetted most of them in what is now recognized as one of the worst atrocities of WWII.

Kant shifted the referent of the term from the terrifying object to the perceiving subject's experience of that object. In this way, the sublime became a potentially empowering model in which the subject, at first overwhelmed by terror or incomprehension, as in Burke's account, then had recourse to the faculty of Reason, and became assured of its own independent powers of consciousness.

As the title promises, the structure of ‘Walking’ is meandering, almost desultory. …. The strategy of the essay is to unsettle expectations by providing, instead of a walk between specified locations, a directionless meditation on the activity in its abstract form. As a result, the essay is not an excursion that its readers can enjoy from the safe remove of time and space, but an aimless collection of philosophical remarks, a labyrinth in which Thoreau's readers lose themselves and, in losing themselves, are implicated in the ‘truth’ of the essay

motions and distractions can also interfere with our clarity. Being aware of the varying levels of abstraction within language can help us create clearer and more “whole” messages.

exam, that retains the same meaning. And last, we can form new words by blending old ones together. Words like breakfast and lunch blend letters and meaning to form a new word—brunch.

“queer” movement of the 1980s and ’90s that reclaimed queer as a positive identity marker for some gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. Even though some people embrace reclaimed words, they still carry their negative connotations and are not openly accepted by everyone.

Some people are generally not good at or comfortable with receiving and processing other people’s feelings. Even those with good empathetic listening skills can be positively or negatively affected by others’ emotions. Expressions of anger can be especially difficult to manage because they represent a threat to the face and self-esteem of others

As we just learned, the relationship between the symbols that make up our language and their referents is arbitrary, which means they have no meaning until we assign it to them.

a farmer might have kept a pebble in a box to represent each chicken he owned. As further advancements made keeping track of objects-representing-objects more difficult, more abstract symbols and later written words were able to stand in for an idea or object. Despite the fact that these transitions occurred many thousands of years ago, we can trace some words that we still use today back to their much more direct and much less abstract origins.

The two nations agreed to a cease-fire on August 12 and formally signed the Treaty of Paris in December.

As a landmark moment in American history, Brown’s significance perhaps lies less in immediate tangible changes—which were slow, partial, and inseparable from a much longer chain of events—than in the idealism it expressed and the momentum it created. The nation’s highest court had attacked one of the fundamental supports of Jim Crow segregation and offered constitutional cover for the creation of one of the greatest social movements in American history.

Well, look, I think what it means to be American is the perception is really about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

nited States detonated the first thermonuclear weapon, or hydrogen bomb (using fusion explosions of theoretically limitless power) on November 1, 1952. The blast measured over ten megatons and generated an inferno five miles wide with a mushroom cloud twenty-five miles high and a hundred miles across. The irradiated debris—fallout—from the blast circled the earth, occasioning international alarm about the effects of nuclear testing on human health and the environment.

The European Recovery Program (ERP), popularly known as the Marshall Plan, pumped enormous sums of capital into Western Europe.

The world was never the same after the United States leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 with atomic bombs. Not only had perhaps 180,000 civilians been killed, the nature of warfare was forever changed.

The United States entered the war in a crippling economic depression and exited at the beginning of an unparalleled economic boom. The war had been won, the United States was stronger than ever, and Americans looked forward to a prosperous future. And yet new problems loomed. Stalin’s Soviet Union and the proliferation of nuclear weapons would disrupt postwar dreams of global harmony.

You then take the prompts to the image-generation programs Leonardo.ai and Midjourney. Voilà: slop.

Another way of managing disabilities is assistive technology, which is something that helps a disabled person act as though they were not disabled

Most humans are trichromats, meaning they can see three base colors (red, green, and blue), along with all combinations of those three colors. Human societies often assume that people will be trichromats. So people who can’t see as many colors are considered to be color blind, a disability. But there are also a small number of people who are tetrachromats and can see four base colors2 and all combinations of those four colors. In comparison to tetrachromats, trichromats (the majority of people), lack the ability to see some colors. But our society doesn’t build things for tetrachromats, so their extra ability to see color doesn’t help them much. And trichromats’ relative reduction in seeing color doesn’t cause them difficulty, so being a trichromat isn’t considered to be a disability.
