| 6b6fd17 | I fight the good fight of faith and I win (1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses). | Tina Campbell | ||
| f5391b4 | Lord, I thank You for godly people in my life who hold me accountable to the truth of Your Word (Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind). | Tina Campbell | ||
| d053fa2 | Hebrews 4:15-16 For we have not an high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need). | Tina Campbell | ||
| 89763e2 | I thank You, Father, for the eyes to see, the ears to hear, the wisdom to perceive, and a heart to receive Your spiritual truths. I thank You, Jesus, for the power to overcome the triggers that lead me out of Your will. I thank You for new responses and new reactions to old problems and old triggers. | Tina Campbell | ||
| 24bca66 | Lord, I receive Your grace, Your unmerited favor, to walk in this newness of life (Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified). Jesus, You overcame the world and because I believe in You, I, too, overcome the world. (1 John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory t.. | Tina Campbell | ||
| 9984d83 | I am forgetting the things behind me and reaching forward to what is ahead (Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus). | Tina Campbell | ||
| cc36bc2 | I have compassion, consideration, and respect for others (1 Corinthians 12:25-26 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it; Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another). | Tina Campbell | ||
| b30e2a9 | I look beyond people's flaws and I choose to see the good in them. I show mercy because You have shown me mercy (Psalm 107:1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever). | Tina Campbell | ||
| 1635d6b | I walk in humility (James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up; Philippians 2:3-4 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others), yet I am capable and confident because I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4: I can.. | Tina Campbell | ||
| 6c0c3d2 | Lord, I have lived life selfishly and conveniently and I have attempted to take the matters of my life into my own hands. I don't want that type of existence anymore because it does not work (1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life; John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing). | Tina Campbell | ||
| edae963 | I decrease daily so that You might increase in me (John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease). | Tina Campbell | ||
| 3706641 | My sinful nature and instinctive learned behaviors make it so easy to be, act, and think the way I have in times past, but more challenging to take on my new identity in Christ, so I need You to help me, Father (2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new; | Tina Campbell | ||
| 39eab69 | When the iPhone app is built, the Xamarin C# compiler generates C# Intermediate Language (IL) as usual, but it then makes use of the Apple compiler on the Mac to generate native iPhone machine code just like the Objective-C compiler. The calls from the app to the iPhone APIs are the same as though the application were written in Objective-C. For the Android app, the Xamarin C# compiler generates IL, which runs on a version of Mono on the de.. | Charles Petzold | ||

| 51645fa | Today's computers use transistors. When used in computers, transistors basically function the same way relays do, but (as we'll see) they're much faster and much smaller and much quieter and use much less power and are much cheaper. Building an 8-Bit Adder still requires 144 transistors (more if you replace the ripple carry with a look-ahead carry), but the circuit is microscopic. Chapter 13. But What About Subtraction? After you've convinc.. | Charles Petzold | ||

| b1e0bb6 | We don't carry in subtraction, however; we borrow, and that involves an intrinsically different mechanism--a messy back-and-forth kind of thing. | Charles Petzold | ||
| aaac7a2 | Bits also play a part in logic, that strange blend of philosophy and mathematics for which a primary goal is to determine whether certain statements are true or false. True | Charles Petzold | ||
| d17489c | Xamarin.Forms allows you to be as platform-independent or as platform-specific as you need to be. Xamarin.Forms doesn't replace Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android; rather it integrates with them. | Charles Petzold | ||
| bd8f048 | In the same way that Morse code reduces written language to dots and dashes, the spoken version of the code reduces speech to just two vowel sounds. The key word here is two. Two types of blinks, two vowel sounds, two different anything, really, can with suitable combinations convey all types of information. | Charles Petzold | ||

| 9131bec | You're twelve years old. One horrible day your best friend's family moves to another town. You speak to your friend on the telephone now and then, but telephone conversations just aren't the same as those late-night sessions with the flashlights blinking out Morse code. Your second-best friend, who lives in the house next door to yours, eventually becomes your new best friend. It's time to teach your new best friend some Morse code and get .. | Charles Petzold | ||
| 06cf089 | a digital design engineer, you would spend long hours going through the TTL Data Book familiarizing yourself with the types of TTL chips that were available. Once you knew all your tools, you could actually build the computer I showed in Chapter 17 out of TTL chips. Wiring the chips together is a lot easier than wiring individual transistors | Charles Petzold | ||
| 69e68fc | The flip side of this is that any information that can be reduced to a choice among two or more possibilities can be expressed using bits. Needless | Charles Petzold | ||

| 4e00158 | A las ninas les decimos: Puedes tener ambicion, pero no demasiada. Debes intentar tener exito, pero no demasiado, porque entonces estaras amenazando a los hombres. Si tu eres el sosten economico en tu relacion con un hombre, finge que no lo eres, sobre todo en publico, porque si no lo estaras castrando.

Adding some form of quantification or ranking. E.g. The top 3 reasons you're losing sales. In this case curiosity is aroused because subscribers want to find out what you think are the top 3 reasons and whether they agree with what they'd have picked. Harnessing an emotion.

| 0bdec6f | He told me that people were saying my novel was feminist, and his advice to me--he was shaking his head sadly as he spoke--was that I should never call myself a feminist since feminists are women who are unhappy because they cannot find husbands. | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | ||

| 2a6e822 | Of course it was angry. Gender as it functions today is a grave injustice. I am angry. We should all be angry. | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | ||
| cbb4666 | Criticizing highly educated women who "opt out" ignores two realities: the first is that society reaps tremendous, tangible benefits from able women (and men) who have the time to cultivate their families, neighborhoods, schools, churches, and politics. If all the capable people are working eighty hours a week, who will tend to our children, communities, and culture? Second, some values are intangible. Not everything can be monetized.

| 2a21ee1 | I found Monk at the kitchen table, where he was carefully folding in half a letter that was covered with his typewriter-perfect handwriting. He stuck it in his inside coat pocket. "Good morning, Natalie. Did you sleep well?" "Like I was hibernating," I said. "You?" "I wrote a letter," Monk said. It took him twenty minutes to sign his name on a credit card receipt, so I had no doubt it took him most of the night to write an entire letter. "T.. | Lee Goldberg | ||

| b79cb5e | There were splits within families over the present war, where one son had sided with Saigon and the other with Hanoi.

| 1c90f26 | Two hundred and fifty American marines and soldiers were killed, and 1,554 wounded.75 Another 458 ARVN soldiers were killed and an estimated 2,700 wounded. The Front's losses are estimated to have been between 2,400 and 5,000--the difference between the official counts of both sides, both known to lie about such numbers. When | Mark Bowden | ||
| d2a95a5 | From the perspective of nearly half a century, the Battle of Hue and the entire Vietnam War seem a tragic and meaningless waste. So much heroism and slaughter for a cause that now seems dated and nearly irrelevant. The whole painful experience ought to have (but has not) taught Americans to cultivate deep regional knowledge in the practice of foreign policy, and to avoid being led by ideology instead of understanding. The United States shou.. | Mark Bowden |
