Week 2 (Peace) of The Heart Has a Home in the Living Room at East Petersburg ...jeffmclain
In our most popular stories, people are always – either physically or metaphorically – wondering from home, coming back home or feeling at home. A homecoming is the deployed soldier's nightly dream, the team’s big day, and the prodigal’s greatest act of courage. And this theme of “home” runs deeply throughout the Scriptures, map out out the path of the human heart as we start at home, wander in exile, then finally commence our return home. Home. Exile. Return. This is the way of the human heart in the biblical narrative. Have you ever noticed that, when compared to the other Gospels, the Gospel of John gets so little attention during the Christmas Season? John, known as the ‘Beloved Apostle,’ does not begin his telling of the life of Jesus with a birth narrative, a documentation of His lineage or anything that resembles a “hark the herald angels sing” moment.
There are few Christmas plays that attempt to bring the cosmic metaphors of John 1 to the stage; Matthew, Mark, and Luke get top billing as children dress up in the shepherds’ robes, angels’ gowns, and cow costumes, all to reenact the vivid scenes of the nativity. Instead, John brings his Christmas story with what amounts to a retelling of Genesis!
That is where we pick up in Week 2, This first Sunday of Advent. The Heart Comes Home – To Peace.

Magazines use conventions and codes to appeal to audiences and build connections. While some magazines strictly follow conventions, others challenge conventions to be unique. The author created a rap magazine that uses some conventions to appeal to the target audience but also challenges conventions to distinguish itself. Specifically, the magazine uses intertextuality by drawing inspiration from the layout of another magazine but making it distinct through elements like the house style and additional features. This allows the magazine to feel familiar to audiences while still having its own identity.

Luego, el bosquejo presenta preguntas sobre la misión de Cristo, por qué es urgente y necesaria, y el rol de la iglesia en esta misión.
Cristo es nuestro Sumo Sacerdote que intercede por nosotros en el cielo. Como Sumo Sacerdote, Cristo es compasivo y fiel, y fue tentado pero sin pecado, por lo que puede simpatizar con los seres humanos. Su ministerio sacerdotal en el cielo consiste en interceder por los seres humanos ante Dios para obtener el perdón y la reconciliación, presentando nuestra fe y arrepentimiento.
Este documento presenta una lección bíblica sobre las leyes en los días de Cristo. Explora cómo las diversas leyes ayudan a comprender la ley de Dios, el vínculo entre el amor de Dios y su ley, y la finalidad de reconciliar a los seres humanos con Dios a través de la ley. El objetivo es que los estudiantes conozcan, sientan deseo de obedecer y decidan obedecer la ley de Dios por amor.
Este documento discute la esperanza para los transgresores de la ley de Dios. Explica que la única esperanza es Jesús, quien ya pagó el precio de nuestros pecados en la cruz. Los transgresores deben acudir a Jesús como su abogado, reconocer sus pecados y aceptar el plan de redención mediante la fe en Él. Al hacer esto, los transgresores pueden recibir el perdón y la reconciliación con Dios, y vivir una vida de obediencia a Su ley con la ayuda del Espíritu
El documento discute la obediencia como fruto del reavivamiento espiritual. Explica que la obediencia a Dios solo es posible cuando se tiene la mentalidad de agradar a Dios en todo momento, guiados por el Espíritu Santo. Los apóstoles encontraron el secreto de la obediencia a través del derramamiento del Espíritu Santo en Pentecostés. También, solo es posible obedecer a Dios cuando se permite que el Espíritu Santo obre dentro, induciendo el deseo de hacer la voluntad de Dios.

The editor believes an adaptable software design is important and that users primarily want intuitive navigation and functionality from their receivers, regardless of the underlying system. TELE-audiovision aims to objectively test and evaluate the latest receivers and technologies.
This document summarizes the WORK Microwave Handheld Satcom Test Source signal generator. It can generate signals from 50-180 MHz and 950-2150 MHz with precision to serve as a reference for measuring complex analog systems. It has two independent synthesizers, allowing it to generate two signals simultaneously for measuring intermodulation of high-frequency converters. Its adjustable output power level from -45 to -5 dBm in 0.5 dB steps enables measuring the 1 dB compression point and conversion gain of converters. The portable generator can operate on its internal battery or via USB, making it a versatile testing device.
This product report summarizes high-frequency filters manufactured by MFC. It discusses how MFC produces highly specialized filters for applications such as WiMAX to prevent interference. It also explains how high-pass and low-pass filters can be combined to replace separate frequency filters. The report provides details on the benefits of HF filters, describing how they eliminate unwanted signals on certain frequencies to prevent interference and equipment malfunctions.
The document summarizes the test results of the Icecrypt S3700CHD triple tuner PVR receiver. It has an elegant front panel with a VFD display and smartcard readers. The back panel features three tuner inputs, HDMI, network interfaces, audio/video outputs, and an RS232 port. It has a powerful CPU and memory. It performed well in tests, with quick channel switching, stable multimedia features, and the ability to record two channels while watching a third. The software is easy to use with features like favorites lists, EPG integration, and an on-screen manual. It also has integrated multimedia apps and plays various video and audio formats smoothly.

Telemedia,
Johannesburg
Vers l’avenir avec optimisme – c’est la devise de Peter Bretherick. Il s’occupe d’une
station de liaison montante à Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud et dans des conditions
pas vraiment idéales. Peter a émigré de Grande Bretagne où il avait travaillé pendant
de nombreuses années pour la BBC. En 1970 il s’est décidé de s’installer dans cette
région, c’était presque 5 ans avant que la South Africa TV commençait ses émissions.
En 1980 il s’est mis à son compte : Son capital de départ fut son garage, son analyseur
de spectres et son véhicule 4x4. Le premier contrat qu'il décrocha fut pour ériger Des
répéteurs TV pour les mines de diamants du Botswana, auquel suivirent plusieurs autres
pour l’établissement de la toute nouvelle chaîne de Bophuthatswana Television. Il a eu
beaucoup de succès ce qui l'encouragea à lancer sa propre entreprise en 1981, la Tele-
media. En 1987 il déménagea dans un nouvel bâtiment à Rivonia, une banlieue au Nord
de Johannesburg, où il se trouve encore aujourd’hui. En cette époque, il n’avait que
quatre employés avec lesquels il mit au point les liaisons radio pour les groupements de
chaînes qui en ce temps s’appelaient MNET et SABC.
En 1994 le temps était enfin venu : La rappelle de la première liaison montante
South Africa Telecom lui passa commande avec le satellite : « C’était le satellite
pour la première station au sol pour satel- INTELSAT 704 par 66° Est ». Durant l’an-

tes, des Feeds occasionnels et des trans-
missions SNG. « La première transmission
en direct à dépasser les limites de l’Afrique
fut le match de foot au Malawi en 1995 »,
commente Peter en se remémorant ses
années de pionnier. Actuellement, Tele-
media occupe plus de 30 personnes dont
les 20 sont des techniciens, 10 sont dans
l’administration ainsi que huit gardiens de
sécurité qui doivent surveiller les installa-
tions 24 H sur 24.
Un développement intéressant en Afri-
que se sont avérées être les chaînes reli-
gieuses. Telemedia a pu décrocher une
niche dans ce marché. L’entreprise a mis
à disposition un certain nombre de studios
qui se sont chargés de tous les traitements
audio et vidéo et bien entendu aussi, de
la liaison montante vers le satellite. Il y
a un très grand nombre de groupes reli-
gieux très différents en Afrique et chacun
d’eux veut avoir sa propre chaîne TV. Tele-
media propose à toutes ces communau-
tés les infrastructures nécessaires à des
prix abordables. L’avantage de ce service
est que le fournisseur de la chaîne doit
uniquement se soucier du contenu de sa
programmation et pas aussi par exemple,
d'une génératrice de courant pour pren-
dre le relais à chaque fois que la ESKOM
(le fournisseur d'électricité local) subit
une panne de courant, ce qui arrive plutôt
assez souvent. Etant donné que très peu
de ces groupements religieux disposent
d’un support financier approprié, Teleme-
dia propose ses services à un niveau de
prix très bas mais très suffisant tout de
même. C’est pour cette raison que Tele-
media est le leader du marché dans ce
domaine.
▲ Telemedia dispose de plus de 33 antennes – ou peut-être nous avons mal posé la question à Clive Grove pourquoi les grandes antennes sont du type
compté et en fait il y a encore quelques-unes … ici nous voyons à gauche, grégorien: « Les performances sont meilleures, elle est plus facile à régler
une antenne de 4,5 mètres pointée sur 7° Est, au fond une antenne de 7,3 et peut être mieux alignée ». Ne oubliez pas : Plus l’antenne est grande, plus
mètres pointée sur AB1, une antenne de 6,5 mètres pour 64° Est ainsi que la largeur du faisceau sera petite, par conséquent l’alignement de l’antenne

4. Peter a encore d’autres raisons d’être
optimiste pour le futur : Les autorités
des télécommunications sud-africaines
vont très bientôt distribuer des licences
pour des nouveaux fournisseurs de télé-
vision à péage qui devront être effectives
en automne 2007. Cela représentera une
concurrence directe au monopole détenu
actuellement par le bouquet payant DSTV.
Vu que le satellite INTELSAT 7 par 68,5°
Est qui est utilisé par DSTV ne dispose
plus de capacités supplémentaires, les
nouveaux fournisseurs de TV à péage
vont devoir opérer sur des nouveaux
satellites. Un candidat possible pour ceci
serait HELLAS SAT2 par 39° Est. Certai-
nes chaînes TV sont déjà retransmises par
le faisceau sud-africain de ce satellite ;
SatcoDX a découvert ces chaînes déjà en
mai 2007. Qui pourrait bien s’occuper de
la liaison montante de ces chaînes ? Vous
avez deviné juste, si vous avez répondu
Telemedia. Mais il y a aussi d’autres can-
didats : Le satellite SIRIUS 4 qui devra
être lancé vers la fin 2007 et qui sera
positionné sur 5° Est aura aussi un fais-
ceau sud-africain. Et il y a encore d’autres
satellites possibles.
Le ciel des satellites au-dessus de
l’Afrique du Sud devient de plus en plus
intéressant. Plus il y aura des chaînes
transmises, plus il y aura une demande
non seulement pour le côté transmission
mais aussi pour la partie d’équipement de
réception. Un nouveau marché est sur le
point de naître.
