estial or divine. We will explore each miracle and key in on the details that place it in each realm of thought considering the true nature of the man called Jesus.
The Greatest Story Ever Told
I Can Walk!!!!
Acts is one of the books of the Bible often looked at by the believers in Christ’s human nature as definitive proof of his humanity. In Acts 3:1 we find a beggar who is lame asking for money from people who come around them. Peter and John, long time followers of Jesus approach this beggar and inform him while they have no money they can give they do offer more and in the name of Jesus they tell him to rise and walk. This may sound like a Jesus miracle but Jesus was himself not present for this healing. The man ran steadfast into the church and professed the healing power and the goodness that is God.
This miracle is a great testament to the following of thought that professes Jesus has human. Peter and John were not considered divine after this miraculous act. They remained mortal men of flesh and bone, blood and flaws.
Now these two flesh and blood men performed a miracle not to much unlike those that Jesus, their friend and teacher himself had become rather famous for throughout the land. If we assume healing the sick as a legitimate miracle than why are we not placing Peter and John in the ranks of celestial beings as we often have done with Jesus? Can we assume that these two devout followers of Christ’s teachings were made more than men?
This verse gives a lot of credit to the Jesus as a man argument in that men can perform miracles with the assistance of the one all mighty God. Acts is filled with accounts of the apostles performing miracles. They cast out demons, and healed the sick.
Now we must also look from the celestial side. hose who are tuned to that belief believe Jesus granted these men this ability using his own Godly powers. The divine celestial ability of Jesus Christ came over them and granted them the will do perform miracles.
We know the beggar professed aloud the power of God but why do we have such difficulty imagining that the power of God could be worked through the hands of man? We are his people and the Bible even says he will work great works through us.
Closing
Jesus Christ regardless of his nature, be it celestial being with great cosmic powers or simply a man sent to do a job. was who he was. The amazing things he did can not be forgotten nor should their merit rely on what he may or may not have been. His attribute to the world and the life we know today are monumental. I ask why can he not be both human and divine, celestial and flesh and bone? Why do we not believe a man can make a miracle?
We often ask what would Jesus do. Celestial Jesus may use cosmic powers to manipulate the situation while man Jesus may debate on the moment and then act. Do we not see Jesus do both in different situations? His actions often understood by few but the outcome cherished by many. So before I leave you to decide was this son of a carpenter on his mother’s side and son of God on his father’s side was more than a man I simply ask this. Can’t human be divine? Thanks and God bless.A new Online/Physical Exhibition of Art in Lockdown London.

A delicately spiced crumble sits atop a moist, fruity and not too sweet rhubarb cake adding a lovely element of texture that is also visually pleasing.
Preheat the oven to 160 C / Gas 2/3 and grease and line a deep 20cm cake tin with baking parchment.
In a large mixing bowl beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time until the mixture is thick and creamy then mix in the vanilla and almond extracts followed by the lemon zest and juice.
Into a separate bowl, sift in the flour then add the baking powder and mix well. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and beat until smooth. Mix in the rhubarb. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top.
In a bowl, rub the butter into the flour and sugar and mix until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of the cake.
To serve, remove from the tin using the baking parchment to help you, then transfer to a serving plate. Slice and serve.Manchester is self-harm hotspot27th August 2008
According to a new study, Manchester tops the list of places in Europe where the highest number of people self-harm.
Research looked at the amount of people who were admitted to hospital for self-harming in eight European countries between 1989-2003.
The study was performed by the Network for International Collaboration on Evidence in Suicide Prevention.
The research will be shared at the 12th European Symposium on Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour in Glasgow.
The research discovered that 540 females and 422 males in every 100,000 people in Manchester were self-harmers.
The next highest amount of people self-harming were in Oxford, with 416 males and females per 100,000.
The research showed that the UK had more people self-harming compared to other places in Europe.
Ljubljana in Slovenia had the least number of self-harmers, with 72 females and 64 males per 100,000 self-harming.
Professor Stephen Platt, of Edinburgh University, said the lower a person's age was, the more likelihood they had of self-harming.
The danger of suicide was increased 60 to 100 times in people."

Title: Manchester is self-harm hotspot

Date Added: 27th Aug 2008Q: Spring Cloud Gateway blocking requests for route descovery I'm using Spring Cloud Gateway from spring-cloud-starter-gateway version 2.1.0.RELEASE and I need to understand why Gateway is blocking requests to perform the DiscoveryClientRouteDefinitionLocator process.
Spring Cloud Version: Greenwich.RELEASE.
I have two environments: staging and production.
In production we have a working gateway with the following latency for /actuator/health call:

I was investigatinng why those spikes occurs on a simple health call and I figure out the gateway blocks any requests sometimes (even health or real microservices call) to perform discovery routes of all my microservices.
We use Consul for discovery server and I tried to test this latency at my staging environment (with way less hardware resource on Consul). The impact of this block is clear:

After improving the Consul hardware resources we have no more spikes but the latency still is not perfect (and have minor spikes to discovery all routes) for a health call:

I need to ask: why Spring Cloud Gateway is blocking requests even having caching feature? Should not this process run in the background? What I'm doing wrong? Its really an issue with Spring Cloud Gateway?
Thank you.

A: As discussed here previous version of Spring Cloud Gateway was using a blocking discovery-client.
Using versions newer than 2.1.5.RELEASE will result in a more asynchronous gateway that doesn't do many blocking requests.
What’s the Best Streaming App for Kids TV Programming?
When us modern-day adults were growing up, many of us got a solid dose of kids’ television the old-fashioned way. This meant sitting in front of the TV after school and absorbing whatever the free to air networks threw at us. Needless to say, in the age of streaming and pay TV, all of that’s changed now. Subscription services Netflix and Stan are dominant in many households, Foxtel still has viewers in the millions, and free to air TV now has multiple channels to play with.
So when your kids want to sit in front of the TV today – or more likely, the iPad or smartphone – it’s no longer a case of “kids’ TV during certain hours”. Endlessly trying to cater for all possible viewing needs, streaming apps (both paid and free) have been quick to embrace programming for kids and there’s a ton of it out there.
So which ones do the best job of it? Well, before we look at the programming itself, let’s cover an important element – parental control.
One of the great things about streaming apps (including Foxtel Now) is that they effectively function like pay TV – freed from the strict censorship applied to free to air TV at certain times of the day. This is great for adults, but for kids? Not so much. Thankfully, there are ways to give your kids access to streaming apps without having them accidentally stumble across the sort of thing you’d see on the S
