Avengers: Age of Ultron


Avengers: Age of Ultron
The earlier rating is still valid. 8.5/10.



Church notes - 29th April 2018

29th April
Revelation 4:1 - 8

Colossians 3:17 - 4:1
'Living Together'

vs18
Can be perceived as an offense.
Not very good when taken out of context.
In Australia there are 900 divorces every week! Dreams shattered and hopes unfulfilled.
We need to make sense of what Paul was saying.
Three different relationships.
Husbands and wives
Children
Masters and Slaves
It doesn't say; 'Wives, obey your husband'.
Submitt - recognise some authority in the relationship.
'As is fitting in the LORD' - recognise that the LORD has greater authority.

vs 19
A husband needs to be loving of his wife. A reciprocal unselfish love. Don't be harsh.
vs 21
Don't embitter children.
vs 22
Follow instruction - a  higher authority - the LORD.
vs 23 - 25
Whatever you do.
God is supplying our needs. We are responsible to Him.
The provision should be adequate.

Ephesians 6:8

Ensuring that family relationships are strengthened.
How do I respond when I am under authority.
How do I respond when I have authority.
How do I respond to God's authority.

I will be under authority in a responsible way.

United States
Americas
Midgard County native language statistics.
Minnesota Norse 91%
English 6%
Other 3%
(Doesn't indicate numbers of those who are bilingual)

The proportion of Minnesota Norse speakers in eastern Minnesota overall, the number drops below 51%.
In Minnesota overall, the number drops below 28%.
Within the US overall (excluding Minnesota) it drops below 7%.

The proportion of Wisconsin Norse speakers in Wisconsin drops below 0.9%.

East Dakota is admitted to the Union as a State.

However, the rise of the Democratic-Republican party continues unabated. In the campaign for the Presidential election, their rhetoric shocks the supporters of the other parties. The Federalists attempt to denounce that rhetoric as 'unhelpful'. After-all the United States had always been welcoming to those who wanted to immigrate there, they said. (Not entirely true, but not entirely false either).
But it is the Union of Rationally thinking Americans that oppose the Democratic-Republicans the most. They agree on some things, but the Rationalists are more pragmatic. Non-whites can come, but they have to assimilate (for instance).
The Federalists are continuing to lose support, with President Malcolm Scott seen as an ineffective buffoon. An attempt at renegotating trade barriers with Quebec had fallen through early in the year.

The war between the Scots and the Siberians in the frozen north continues.

Suricatta suricatta
30 March 2020
Leigh arrived at the Meerkat exhibit, and saw that Cora was already there. She was crouched down next to the glass looking at the Meerkats where they were lying in a huddle. “Hi, Leigh,” she said as she stood up. “It's amazing how small they are!”

“Definitely, everyone says that,” Leigh said.

“Do they?”

“Pretty much.”

“Is anyone else coming?”

“DK is.”




52 Tales of 2018 - Back in the USSA - Early 1909

January - June 1909
Americas
The situation in the United States continues to get worse.

St. Johns Inauguration is marred by protests.
After the Inauguration there are protests in Washington on every weekend, regarding this issue or that issue. These include demands for President St. John to step down and/or be impeached and convicted.

Congress debates the merits of whether to investigate the Presidential electon or not.

The East Coast Communists continue demands for change. Indeed, there are many incidents of sabotage at major mines... The National Guard is called out at many locations. The attempts of strikes aren't tolerated.
By the end of June,  there are uprisings in various places. Most prominent of these is in Pittsburgh...

In the South, the Klan terrorises many African American communities.

Antisemitism continues to rise, particularly in California and New York.

The Mexican civil war continues.

The South American war continues.


Europe
The War in Europe stalemates in trench warfare. This especially occurs in eastern France.
By the end of june, the Germans are considering a way to break that stalemate. A movement through Belgium...

It is a different story on the Eastern Front. Germany pushes the Russians back into their own territory.

Spain declares neutrality in the war.


Africa
In various places, colonisation continues.

In Tanganyika British forces make gains against the German garrisons.


Asia
Despite the Russian declaration of neutrality, The Raj moves forces into Afghanistan 'just in case'.


Oceania
New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland gain Dominion Status.

In related news, Alfed Deakin, Premier of Victoria, holds a speach in the town of Shepparton, regarding whether the various British Dominions and Colonies in the Australasia-Pacific region would need to join in a Confederation in order to better defend themselves against Germany, or Russia if they were to attack.


ANZAC Day

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget.

We have fullness in Christ. We are established in Him.

Relational Dance
We need to continue in Him

180 Beginnings of 2018 - Doctor Who: The DoctorDonna and the Next Doctor


Doctor Who: The DoctorDonna and the Next Doctor
24 December 1851
London
The TARDIS materialised beneath a medieval archway. The Doctor stepped out and smiled. “Come on then!” he said. Donna followed him out, dressed for the period.

“This incarnation is still taking some getting used to,” she said. “I'm still finding this new voice weird.”

“That makes two of us,” the Doctor said. He still wasn't how the Metacrisis had triggered a regeneration in a human.
