- The above question requires one to understand the Key words before attempting it. Firstly, let's break the question.
- We break the question by attempting to answer the following fundamental questions.
- What is a prophet?
- What is to communicate?
- What are the ways?
- We all know that in Israel they were so many prophets ,starting from Moses ,Up to the time of Jeremiah~A Level Zimsec syllabus will guide us .
- It also recorded that Moses talked to Yahweh face to face like someone speaking to his friend (Numbers 12 v 4-8).
- Why Moses Speaking to Yahweh face to face ?
- Is this the reason why Moses is regarded as the par excellence.
- Numbers 12 v 4-8,Proves to us that Yahweh communicated with other prophets in a dream or visions.This is valid to our answer.
1. - Yahweh communicated with Amos in a voice ,this is the reason why Amos says ,The Lord roars from Zion ,it also the reason why some scholars have submitted that Amos was influenced by the voice of the Lord instead of his back ground. In other words it means that God communicated with Amos through a voice ( Amos 1 v 2-5,Amos 3 v 8).
- Amos in chapter 7v 1 delivers visions of doom .In other words it means that God communicated with Amos in a vision "The lord showed me.
- Moses went on to use a song to deliver his message, this,is indicated in Exodus 32 .
- Nathan used a parable to condemn David for injustice ,this is supported by 2 Samuel 12.
- Prophets like Hosea ,Jeremiah ,Isaiah used symbolic actions to deliver their messages ,I won't waste much time in writing them ;Read the bible you will understand everything.
®Most of the Zimbabwean prophets claims to have been communicating with Yahweh .
©Johane Masowe claimed that Yahweh in a vision talked to him at Mt Marimba, He further says that Yahweh instructed him to change his name from Shoniwa Masedza to Johane Masowe(John of the wilderness). ©Ubert Angel according to Miracle TV undated claimed that Yahweh had shown him two visions (My vision to hell and My vision to heaven ). ©Makandiwa according to his article Volume 11 undated he delivered 18 parables and visions .He said the lord talked to him .In other words this means that Yahweh communicated with him in a voice just like Amos and other prophets which the writer highlighted above.
N.B - There are so many prophets which can be added for instance W.Magaya,Blessing Chiza,Paul Mwazha .
®Zimbabwean prophets uses the following ways to deliver their messages. ©According to an article of Makandiwa Volume 11 undated Makandiwa says another way of delivering a message is to use parables ,and soon after that he delivered more than 15 parables .
©Some of the Zimbabwean prophets uses Books ,Pamphlets, Banners to deliver their messages ,this include Magaya ,Makandiwa to mention but few only.
©Zimbabwean prophets have went on to extent of using TV stations, Websites, Facebook, Twitter. We all know the examples of prophets who uses the above ways.
©It has been suggested that Magaya and Angel uses symbolic actions to deliver their messages e.g Magaya usually wear sandals during the church service,thus,symbolising humbleness whilst Angel lives flamboyant life,thus,symbolising gospel of prosperity.
- Teachers have done justice and taught you how to conclude,therefore ,I won't waste much time in concluding .
The sportswear giant fell just short of expectations on its top line, but reiterated guidance for the year. Here's what investors need to know.
Nike's new HyperAdapt 1.0 self-lacing shoe platform. Image source: Nike.
Nike (NYSE:NKE) reported fiscal third-quarter 2016 results Tuesday after the bell. And though things didn't quite go as well as planned, by most measures the athletic footwear and apparel specialist turned in yet another solid quarter of growth.
More specifically, Nike's quarterly revenue climbed 7.7% year over year to $8.03 billion, and would have risen 14% had it not been for the negative effects of foreign currency exchange. That's slightly below Nike's (admittedly imprecise) guidance provided last quarter, which called for reported revenue to increase in the high-single- to low-double-digit percentage range.
To Nike's credit, however, this is also eerily reminiscent of last quarter's slight top-line shortfall, which the market was willing to overlook given the company's strong overall performance and encouraging guidance for the full year.
On the bottom line, net income climbed 20% year over year, to $950 million, and earnings per share increased 22%, to $0.55. Nike began repurchases under its new four-year, $12 billion share repurchase authorization approved this past November, buying back 11.1 million shares during the quarter for $649 million. By comparison -- and though we don't lend much credence to Wall Street's near-term demands -- analysts' consensus estimates called for higher revenue of $8.2 billion, and lower earnings of $0.49 per share.
In the third quarter, NIKE delivered robust and balanced growth across our expansive, powerful portfolio. We grow by serving the athlete personally every day and, as we unveiled last week, through breakthrough innovation that gives us a foundation for growth for years to come. Combined with our strategic investments, world-class execution and financial discipline, NIKE consistently delivers value to our shareholders.
Regarding Parker's mention of "breakthrough innovation," note last week the company introduced something it calls "adaptive lacing," implemented in a Back to the Future-esque, self-lacing shoe dubbed HyperAdapt 1.0, which fellow Fool Daniel Sparks rightly asserted "has potential to represent a major new platform in athletic footwear."
Meanwhile, Nike's gross margin was deceptively flat from the same year-ago period, at 45.9%. Gross margin benefited from Nike's ability to command higher average selling prices and continued growth in its high-margin direct-to-consumer (DTC) business. On the latter, DTC revenue climbed an impressive 29% year over year, including 56% growth in online sales, and a 10% contribution from comparable-store sales growth and new locations. But these benefits were offset once again by foreign currency exchange and Nike's efforts to clear excess inventory. That said, currency headwinds won't persist forever. And to Nike's credit, this result was slightly better than guidance provided three months ago, when management suggested gross margin would decline 50 basis points.
Next, revenue from Converse declined 9% on a reported basis, to $489 million, and would have fallen 5% had foreign currencies not been a factor. As I suggested in my earnings preview last week, however, this shouldn't be a surprise as Nike continues to shift the Converse brand to a more direct operating model overseas. During this quarter's subsequent conference call, Nike CFO Andy Campion elaborated this quarter's year-over-year decline for Converse was primarily due to a shift in timing of shipments out of fiscal Q4 and into fiscal Q3 this year to ensure a smooth transition to a new enterprise resource management system.
Futures for NIKE brand footwear and apparel (scheduled for delivery from March 2016 through July 2016) climbed 12% on a reported basis, and 17% at constant currency. That's a notable deceleration from last quarter, when reported and constant-currency futures rose 15% and 20%, respectively, but it still represents solid growth and strong demand as Nike continues to build its business from a larger base. To be sure, futures rose in the double-digits across all geographies despite the impact of the stronger dollar against nearly every other global currency.
As a result, Nike held steady its guidance for the full fiscal year, which calls for gross margin expansion of roughly 50 basis points from last year, and full fiscal-year revenue growth in the mid-single-digit percentage range.
Finally, though planning for fiscal 2017 isn't complete, Nike currently expects revenue next fiscal year to grow in the high-single- to low-double digit percentage range on a reported basis, which should translate to growth in earnings per share in the low teens. That EPS growth will also be more heavily weighted toward the back half of next fiscal year, primarily as Nike plans to invest heavily early on in brand initiatives revolving around the Olympics in Rio and the European Football Championships.
In the end, though the market's initial reaction may not reflect as much, this quarter contained no big surprises and shows Nike is arguably stronger than ever. As Nike continues to deliver on its long-term goals to consistently expand its reach and generate shareholder value in the process, I think investors should be more than pleased with where the company stands today.
New Zealand snatched a dramatic victory from under the noses of injury-hit Australia in a tense Four Nations final in Brisbane.
The Kiwis trailed for most of the match and were still 12-6 behind with 10 minutes left before striking back with tries through Jason Nightingale and Nathan Fien to seal a second famous triumph at the Suncorp Stadium in three years.
Few gave Stephen Kearney's men a hope of repeating their 2008 World Cup final success or their 2005 Tri-Nations triumph after suffering a 34-20 defeat by the Kangaroos in Auckand just seven days earlier but there was a fresh determination about this Kiwis side.
Australia were there for the taking after being reduced to just two replacements for the entire second half but they looked to have done enough to hold onto their crown until the underdogs came storming back to silence the bulk of the 36,299 crowd.
Kearney was forced to re-shuffle his side before kick-off following the loss of centre Junior Sa'u with a dead leg but it was the home side who suffered most from injury blows.
They lost second rower Luke Lewis, two-try hero of the Kangaroos' win over England, with an ankle problem midway through the first half and Australian hearts must have sunk at the sight of a distraught Brent Tate in tears in the dressing room at the interval after succumbing to a knee injury.
Yet New Zealand made the worst possible start when an error by full-back Lance Hohaia gifted a third-minute try to Tate.
There was controversy over the score, with English touchjudge James Child failing to spot Brett Morris' foot on the touchline in the build-up but the Kiwis demonstrated tremendous resilience to stay in the match.
There was a sense of justice, too, when centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall took a delayed and suspiciously forward pass from his skipper Benji Marshall to score an equalising try five minutes before half-time.
It was brutal at times, with tempers were never far from reaching boiling point, and the first half ended with an all-in fight as props Adam Blair and Brett Shillington traded punches.
New Zealand looked to have the momentum in the second half but they came up with a series of unfortunate errors and the Aussies made them pay for a lack of composure when former Catalans Dragons skipper Greg Bird combined with Cooper Cronk to get full-back Billy Slater over for a try which put the home side back in front on 57 minutes.
A superb conversion from Cameron Smith re-established a six-point lead but the game was blown open 10 minutes from the end when winger Nightingale pounced on a perfectly-placed kick from Marshall.
Marshall's conversion attempt rebounded off an upright, leaving the Kiwis trailing by two points, but there was still time for one last twist to an enthralling finale.
Nightingale broke clear down the right flank and his speculative pass found Marshall and Fien was in the right place to finish off a glorious move. Marshall added the goal for good measure.
Under California law, hourly employees must be given the option to take a 10-minute break for each four hours that they work. They must be given the opportunity to take a 30-minute lunch within the first five hours of arriving at work and to go on a 30-minute meal break within each subsequent five-hour period they work that same day.
If management cannot provide the break, workers must be given an hour of pay as compensation. It’s known as a meal premium or rest break premium.
Sutter’s outside legal counsel, Molly Kaban of San Francisco’s Hanson Bridgett, pointed out that Kronos payroll records showed that Beckley had indeed requested premium pay for several missed meal breaks and missed rest breaks. Kaban entered those Kronos documents into evidence, along with payroll records showing the same such premium requests for two other plaintiffs at Monday’s hearings, endoscopy technician Manuel Tezza and endoscopy nurse Ursula Smith.
After Kaban questioned them about the entries, Smith said she guessed she must have made the entries but could not remember doing so. When Sutter employees submit their payroll records, Kaban told Smith and other plaintiffs, they are attesting that they are true and correct. Each plaintiff said they were aware of that.
In testimony for Sutter, human resources business manager Michael Gains said that employees had two ways to request meal break premiums. They could write requests in a Kronos notebook in each department, he said, and a manager or payroll specialist would review that information and, if they approved it, then enter it in Kronos, or the employees could go into Kronos and enter it themselves.
Smith, Beckley and Tallent said they had signed the waiver and papers related to meal breaks when they were hired but had forgotten the contents. Beckley and Smith testified that they had worked many late-night shifts where no relief was made available for meal or rest breaks. Smith said that, when she asked managers about it, no changes were made during her claim period.
The documents noted that employees could revoke the waiver at any time, and Tallent asked whether she could revoke her waiver now. Kaban told her she would have to handle that matter with Sutter HR.
Gains also testified that it is the surgical center director's responsibility to ensure that all employees are correctly logging their breaks, and that was why Tallent had gotten questioned about notations she made in the Kronos book.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Stephen Franck asked numerous questions of each plaintiff that will help in making decisions in each case. He spent time on rates of pay, scheduling, departmental practices around meal and rest breaks, time sheet notations and more.
He asked employees whether they felt their scheduling or pay would be adversely affected if they submitted requests for premium pay. All said no. He asked both the plaintiffs and Sutter whether staffing levels had changed since the claims were filed and, if so, how and when changes were made. Gains said some changes had been implemented as a result of a settlement with the U.S. Department of Labor. Smith and Beckley said additional nurses were put on duty to provide relief for breaks or nurses from other departments now relieved them.
Franck said he would not begin rendering decisions in the Sutter cases until 15 business days after the last cases are presented next week.
Fifty years ago, the Beatles signed their record deal with EMI, found a new drummer, and started recording their classic songs. In September 1962, with no clue about the fortunes they'd amass as one of the world's biggest rock and roll acts, the Fab Four had to borrow money from manager Brian Epstein for airfare to London for their first recording sessions at studios on Abbey Road. Within a few short weeks, they recorded "Love Me Do," their first single, and "Please Please Me," their first number one hit.
It's okay to feel happy inside when you touch your credit card, especially if you carry one of the brands rated highest for customer service. Discover and American Express both earned 5 out of 5 Power Circle marks on the 2011 J.D. Power Credit Card Satisfaction Survey. If you've got a problem, they can't hide: just contact them online or by phone.
Banks want to keep you satisfied, making rewards credit cards more popular than ever among consumers. Although more than half of us prefer to redeem rewards points for cash, credit card issuers instill loyalty by offering discounted merchandise and luxury experiences. For instance, Chase Ultimate Rewards members can book exotic vacations, schedule indoor skydiving jumps or land a walk-on role in a Rockettes musical. Just call on them, and they'll send you along.
American Express and Citibank both want to do right by their cardholders, offering exclusive access and pre-sale opportunities to sporting, arts, and entertainment events. For example, American Express cardholders enjoyed a full day's head start when selecting tickets for Paul McCartney's three most recent tours. Citi Private Pass members get first dibs on tickets for Madonna, Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks. If you're tired of ticket scalpers driving you mad, carry a credit card with entertainment benefits.
If your last travel rewards card only took you half the way there, consider getting help from a credit union that routinely gets its members out of sticky situations. The PenFed Premium Travel Rewards American Express Card offers no foreign transaction fees, no annual fee, and a complementary concierge service that can help you get the best flight, the cleanest hotel and the hottest restaurant reservations. With five rewards points for every dollar you spend on airfare, you'll be playing more than one night stands.
Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting over late fees, penalties and other financial misunderstandings. Citi Simplicity offers a compelling proposition: just promise to stay in touch with the bank, and they won't charge you late fees or hike your APR if you accidentally miss a payment. Only time will tell if their experiment pays off, but eliminating the fear of unexpected credit card fees can help you get more settled in the rest of your financial life.
Other banks might say you've got it coming when they deny your credit card application due to a low credit score. Capital One begs to differ. The bank supplements credit scores with information from its massive consumer database. The bank offers credit cards for fair credit with reasonable fees and finance charges. When your credit score really needs some work, you can leave a deposit of a few hundred dollars on file to qualify for a Capital One Secured MasterCard. If you pass the audition, they'll either extend your credit line beyond your deposit or offer you a new, unsecured credit card.
When you find yourself in times of trouble, you want a low interest credit card that can help you float emergency expenses without huge finance charges. The Iberiabank Visa Classic offers one of the lowest variable interest rates on the market, featuring everyday APRs in the single digits for cardholders with excellent credit.
If you need someone to whisper words of wisdom about picking the best credit cards, seek advice from the CardRatings.com Ask the Experts columnists or visit the credit card forum. Whether your fortunes are closer to those of Paul McCartney or Pete Best, the right credit card could in time save you enough money to treat yourself to a Beatles box set or collectible doll.
Researchers in the Stanford Computational Imaging Group have developed a new virtual reality headset that takes into account how the human eye focuses and processes depth.
Current display technologies are essentially two-dimensional and don't present images the way our eyes were designed to see them, which can cause "virtual reality sickness," or VR sickness for short, after only a few minutes.
The new system involves two transparent LCD displays with a spacer in between, which is called "light field technology." A Stanford News article describes a light field as creating "multiple, slightly different perspectives over different parts of the same pupil. The result: you can freely move your focus and experience depth in the virtual scene, just as in real life."
Gordon Wetzstein, PhD, assistant professor of electrical engineering, developed the technology along with researchers Fu-Chung Huang and Kevin Chen. In the news piece, Wetzstein listed the variety of applications this advance could have, robotic surgery top among them: "If you have a five-hour [robotic] surgery, you really want to try to minimize the eye strain that you put on the surgeon and create as natural and comfortable a viewing experience as possible."
But the applications aren't limited to what has already been imagined. Wetzstein explains, "Virtual reality gives us a new way of communicating among people, of telling stories, of experiencing all kinds of things remotely or closely. It's going to change communication between people on a fundamental level."
