25 Very detailed. The model was probably a woman but the artist captured the androgynous nature of angels very well.

Lots of snide remarks can/will be made but I like this one.

66 I find the facial expressions and postures of David's figures to be rather wooden. It's rather typical for the period. But I love his detailed settings and brilliant colors. The paintings must have been spectacular in good light on a wall.

I am amused at the angel of the annunciation standing in a 16th century Netherlands home.

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

79 Not nearly scary enough.

Would an angel that looks like this have to say, "Do not be afraid."?

They always have to say that. I'm guessing that they are pretty scary, intense, or something like that to make such opening remarks necessary.

92 Sometimes, a painting is more than the artist's strokes, colors and techniques. Sometimes, it's the story that is happening in that moment. How must Mary have felt when the angel came to tell her what was happening? Was she frightened? Overwhelmed? Humbled? Awestruck? Confused? She was such a young girl and being tasked with carrying the salvation of man, yet she didn't despair or run away. She served.

Things to remember as we face upcoming events in this election and the daily grind of our political state: do not despair. Even when things are incomprehensible, serve. Serve our country and do not despair.

That's possibly a quirk of translation. Most languages, including Latin and Greek, use gendered nouns. (if you've learned another language you'll recognize this) Once upon a time English had it too, but except for a few bits and pieces English dropped all that centuries ago. So, when a gendered noun referring to a person is translated into English, "he" or "she" is often added to reflect that, even though the pronoun isn't in the original.

We did that with Michelangelo's "Sistine Chapel: The Flood". With that one, it's easy cuz the work is broken up into individual panels and scenes. With something like the School of Athens or "Triumph in the Name of Jesus" (Gaulli), it's a lot harder.

to their healthy baseline EKGs."

Still, experts worry about the potential for serious heart complications
from engaging in vigorous exercise while infected with the virus."

It's adapted from Mesopotamian imagery. Winged creatures appear on Assyrian/Babylonian art and symbolize supernatural or heavenly beings. Some Egyptian gods have wings too. The halo may have come from Roman imagery.

I know a several people who tested positive. A couple of them even had no symptoms. But my son is the only one I know of that complained of heart related issues (tightness in chest, and heart racing) along with his other symptoms, such as a cough and loss of smell and taste. No fever, however.
Posted by: Up and In at August 11, 2020 10:31 AM (F3UHf)

Had a bud that was in the hospital with it. He initially complained of a MASSIVE headache over a couple days. When his chest started to tighten up, he went to the ER. They admitted him Thursday night and he was out the following Tuesday.

And he was NOT the epitome of health at the time.

So this would be a perfect case study to see if we can get useful field information...

You say you saw five patients...

How did each of the five come to be in the hospital?
Walk-in, ambulance, etc?

What was the general age range of the patients?
1-19? 20-35? 36-45? etc?

You say they "tested positive" for Chinese Bat Flu, how was this determined?
Presentation of symptoms (No Test), Antibody protein test, RNA genetic material test, etc.

What if anything was prescribed?

Seeing as we are literally told nothing about this pandemic that's useful I thought I'd take this opportunity to inquire with a front line operator.

I have a friend, dealing with a completely different healthcare problem, no symptoms even remotely tied to China wuwu. Doctor is REFUSING to see her, saying she needs to go to a respiratory specialist, and to be tested for the China creepin' crud.

It's bizarre, until you realize ALL of this is designed to over-inflate the numbers associated with this thing.

336 I am an mechanical engineer for 35 years. I am not impressed with German
engineering except that invariably if an item can be over engineered,
the Germans will find a way to do it.

In Machine Shop class in HS, we were taught to revere German and Swiss precision in manufacturing. Of course, that was in the days prior to digital readouts and CNC machining was pretty much only for aerospace and our nascent space program.

I missed it up thread. My population is mostly young military recruits/ trainees. 3 were from that population. One only had loss of smell for 2 weeks and didn't tell anyone, PCR test positive. He came in because one of his platoon mates was brought in as a potential heat injury after getting dizzy during training and subsequently tested positive. One was a pregnant wife who had been sick for a week with nausea, vomiting, cough and fever. The fifth was an older retiree on renal dialysis who came in with a fever and cough.

Then again, you see a lot of Mercedes cabs and that means something. In France they go with Citroen or some other absurdity. And in London, the legit cabs are at another level, you will pay at fortune for them. But all over Europe you will see Mercedes.

387 The erroneous idea that angels possess wings is not wholly due to olden notions that they must have wings to fly through the air. Human beings have sometimes been permitted to observe seraphim that were being prepared for transport service, and the traditions of these experiences have largely determined the Urantian concept of angels. In observing a transport seraphim being made ready to receive a passenger for interplanetary transit, there may be seen what are apparently double sets of wings extending from the head to the foot of the angel. In reality these wings are energy insulators--friction shields.

You mean something Europeans have a history of doing for the last several 100 years to 1000s of years. You don't need credentials to study, seek knowledge and information, apply your G*d intelligence given intelligence to learn. Europeans have a history of constantly learning and the pursuit of knowledge until we die and pass that down to younger generations.

With the internet, everything is at your fingetips at light speed including but not limited dictionaries and text books.
