White signifies purity and obedience to God’s laws. Pride goes before the fall. Satan desires to corrupt individuals through politics, sexual immorality and pride. If Satan gets a hold of the heart, he stirs the individual to anger. The primary tool is pride. Once pride sets in, the individual refuses to feel mercy. At this point, there can only be warning of judgment. The teaching of the gospel stops. The anger and wrath of god turns against the actions of the hard-hearted and rebellious. The end result is destruction of morality. The tragedy is no healing occurs. The media is launching a war of profit. Big business uses all the scenes that peak interest. Big business’ goal is to generate sales. Movies like Dr. Strange and Harry Potter become folklore status among the youth of today. Evil content is ignored in place of character development and story line. Witchcraft and satanic symbolism become part of the story. The story builds suspense and sales. Movies are filled with war and sex. Dr. Strange, the number one movie for box office sales, used satanic symbols as the power of resurrection of Dr. Strange. Special effects increase the drama of the story. The media is launching a war of profit. The movie house becomes a central location for inputting ideas, scary scenes and terror into the minds of its young viewers. We are command not to entertain graven images of fear. I didn’t like the scene where the witch breaks the neck of one of the characters in the movie. The image of speed and power were impossible to escape. The villain become more than human. Evil overpowers good. No box office hit movie ever fed one poor or hungry person. People feed other people because they love them. Feed the world. The truth is, in the end, Christ and His servants, and people will prevail over Satan and his followers. The followers of Christ will reign with Him in the celestial kingdom, and they will receive a urim and thummin, teaching them all things they desire to know. They will be full of knowledge. The earth will be a sea of glass: a giant urim and thummin.

WHY ARE PEOPLE LESS AFRAID TO TRAVEL TO THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES THAN TO GO TO THE STORE? The answer is: Because we have been conditioned to fear the unknown And it is not that we aren’t aware of our fear, it is just that we have learned to live with it The human brain is constantly working to build a story of what is going on around you If we were aware of every little thing that was going on around us, we would be paralyzed with fear As a result, our brains are constantly trying to fit events into the greater context of our life Our brains try to make sense of everything by using previous experiences as a comparison This is the reason that people are afraid to travel to places they are unfamiliar with We are afraid to travel to places where we have no reference points, no previous experiences to rely on This is why we fear the unknown We fear the unfamiliar We fear what we dont know And, as a result, we tend to limit ourselves to only the places we are comfortable with We have a routine We do the same things over and over This is a very common thing The problem with this is that our brains are very good at deceiving us They are very good at making us feel safe When we are in a familiar place, our brains are telling us that we are safe And because of this, we have no motivation to do anything different We need something to shake us up We need to be thrown into a situation where we are forced to change our routine This is how we grow Travel before you die traveling to exotic locations keeps you young of attitude it keeps you on top of of your game it opens you up to new ideas The more places you travel, the more people you meet, the more experiences you have, the more you have to draw from You cant be creative if you don€™t have things to draw from You can’€™t be creative if you don€™t have experiences to draw from

In 2007, purchase power parity was stronger in India and China; therefore, they contribute more to global growth than the United Kingdom, Japan and the U.S. In 2018, China consumers are beginning to consume and invest. In the past, sovereign wealth funds have helped emerging markets grow. China is helping grow emerging markets. As more emerging markets come online, the global economy grows. Over time, the emerging markets will shift from exports to consumables. Trump's tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum will slow emerging market growth. Trump's duties were 25-percent on steel and 10-percent on aluminum. Countries most affected by the import tariff are Brazil, South Korea and China. South Korea is the third largest exporter of steel to the U.S. China exports aluminum to the U.S. increased exports. In 2016, a dollar bought 6.5 yuan; however, the purchase power parity (PPP) was 5.7 RMB per dollar. The dollar was stronger against the yuan but bought less goods and services in China because of PPP. The Rembmini was 14-percent undervalued. The yuan appreciated 36% from 2005 to 2015. Chinese imports were becoming more expensive. Manufacturers began relocating from China to Vietnam, Indonesia and Africa. President Trump said a 45-percent tariff on Chinese imports would be necessary to stop this unfair trade practice. China said it would not engage in significant exchange rate reforms. Trump does not like China's strong intervention in the currency markets and China's growing trade surplus. China is fighting its label as a currency manipulator. The loss of factories and jobs to foreign competition is a big concern.

Pride is the great barrier between us and God. The process of overcoming pride is continuous. If we can feel the love of the lord for us we can change. We start by writing our feelings on paper knowing our skill maybe lacking. As we write our thoughts the spirit can bring to mind new perspectives. We ask God to take away our defects in thought and feeling. We learn to be honest in our accounting of our behaviors and we write our contribution to another persons joy or pain. The lord helps us to heal within. We reflect upon the thoughts we have written. We are patient with ourselves and realize in time the way will be revealed. We don’t have to be right . We do need to feel. As we acknowledge our feelings the lord can extend his atonement. Being humble and contrite is our gift to God. It means we are in a state of mind and attitude where we can be taught. It means we are capable of receiving correction from God. The lord shows he loves us by correcting our defects that keep us in slavery. What is keeping us back from experiencing gods fullness of joy? Don’t we want to remove the nail? Pride is the vice that holds us back. Shun jealousy , envy, self righteousness, greedy, and self aggrandizement. These behaviors result in pride and cause pain in others sometimes . Let the lord heal you from the inside out by being vulnerable and surrendering your will to God.

Electrolysis But negatively charged chloride in seawater salt can corrode the positive end, limiting the system’s lifespan The researchers discovered that if they coated the anode with layers that were rich in negative charges, the layers repelled chloride and slowed down the decay of the underlying metal. They layered nickel-iron hydroxide on top of nickel sulfide, which covers a nickel foam core. The nickel foam acts as a conductor – transporting electricity from the power source – and the nickel-iron hydroxide sparks the electrolysis, separating water into oxygen and hydrogen. During electrolysis, the nickel sulfide evolves into a negatively charged layer that protects the anode. https://news.stanford.edu/2019/03/18/new-way-generate-hydrogen-fuel-seawater/

In the pre mortal existence there was a war between good and evil, a war between a good messiah and an evil messiah. There was one father and he chose the good messiah to represent him and his plan of salvation. The evil messiah and was angry and he rebelled taking a third part and he was cast out by Michael the arch angel. The devil would could continue his fight against the children of god as the great deceiver and liar to man. Men would be confronted with choices or morality. They would be left to chose life eternal through Jesus Christ or captivity and bondage through the devil. Revelations 12 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Our free agency is a power. The devil can not force us to be evil. Likewise God can not compel us to be good. Our life is a series of choices good or bad. When we love god with all our heart and might and strength than we start a life of discipleship. We start to live after the manner of happiness . We become more willing to help others. Heavenly Father listens to our requests. We must have the morality and faith to ask for important things from the lord. This is the measure of our character. This is the miracle and power of choice. Our focus must be single upon building the kingdom of God and furthering the purposes of god.
