The human race is undergoing a miraculous transformation that is turning society upside down. The poor, the sick, the neglected and oppressed have suddenly become the leaders of a new world, with abilities and lifespans far beyond anything seen before. In the more prosperous nations of the world, the general population is still unaware of these changes. But a young California couple, who have started noticing strange things they can't ignore, discover the full extent of the transformation, and why it is so urgent.

God Has a Purpose for You, Daughter of the King! Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy, inferiority, and worthlessness? Do you ever ask yourself: Am I worth anything? Is it wrong to be an introvert? How do I deal with my broken past? Don’t think you’re alone. Millions of others have faced the same battles you do—and have overcome them. They’ve been victorious by learning to see themselves as God sees them—as unique individuals ready to make a special contribution in the world. They’ve come to understand that they were Created for a Purpose. And so were you. That’s the message of this devotional: God made you, loves you, and has a plan for your life. Take that message to heart, then read on and be inspired as you come to know God’s ultimate purpose—to create eternal beauty in your life.
This monograph investigates the temporal properties of those predicates referring to individuals – the so-called individual-level (IL) predicates – in contrast to those known as stage-level (SL) predicates. Many of the traditional tenets attributed to the IL/SL dichotomy are not solidly founded, this book claims, as it examines current theoretical issues concerning the syntax/semantics interface such as the relation between semantic properties of predicates and their syntactic structure. By using the contrast found in Spanish copular clauses (ser vs. estar), Individuals in Time shows that the conception of IL predicates as permanent and stative cannot be maintained. The existence of nonstative IL predicates is demonstrated through analyzing the correlation between the syntactic presence of certain projections (specifically, prepositional complements) and process-like aspect properties. This detailed examination of IL predicates in the domains of inner aspect, outer aspect, and tense will be welcomed by scholars and students with an interest in event structure, tense, and aspect.
This is a complete, unabridged republication of a Dictionary of Spoken Spanish, which was specially prepared by nationally known linguists for the U.S. War Department (TM#30-900). It is compiled from spoken Spanish and emphasizes idiom and colloquial usage in both Castilian and Latin American areas. More than 16,000 entries provide exact translations of both English and Spanish sentences and phrases; as many as 60 idioms are listed under each entry. This is easily the largest list of idiomatic constructions ever published. Travelers, business people, and students who are interested in Latin American studies have found this dictionary their best source for those expressions of daily life and social activity not usually found in books. More than 18,000 idioms are given, not as isolated words that you have to conjugate or alter, but as complete sentences that you can use without change. A 25-page introduction provides a rapid survey of Spanish sounds, grammar, and syntax, with full consideration of irregular verbs. It is especially apt in its modern treatment of phrase and clause structure. A 17-page appendix gives translations of geographical names, numbers, national holidays for Spanish countries, important street signs, useful expressions of high frequency, and a unique 7-page glossary of Spanish and Spanish-American foods and dishes.
