Affusionists think they indirectly apply to water baptism, though, by telling us something about the general "concept" of baptism, regardless of whether the medium of baptism is water or Spirit. Affusionists see more evidence that Luke’s concept of baptism includes pouring by noting an additional possible connection between water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism. In Acts 10, Peter is “astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles” (Acts 10:45).

title: "Stressed skin" content: Stressed skin In mechanical engineering, stressed skin is a type of rigid construction, intermediate between monocoque and a rigid frame with a non-loaded covering. A stressed skin structure has its compression-taking elements localized and its tension-taking elements distributed. Typically, the main frame has rectangular structure and is triangulated by the covering. A framework box can be distorted from being square, so it isn't rigid by itself, however adding diagonals that take either tension or compression fixes this, because the box cannot deviate from right angles without altering the diagonals. Sometimes flexible members like wires are used to provide tension, or

title: "Pulled pork" content: Pulled pork Pulled Pork is an American culinary dish that originated in the southern US states which uses shredded barbecued pork shoulder as the main ingredient. The methods of cooking employed to make Pulled Pork are primarily slow-smoking over wood (usually performed outdoors) and secondarily, using a slow cooker (an indoor variation, generally seen as a substitute); the meat is then shredded manually, mixed with a regional-based sauce and served on bread, or, on a roll, as a sandwich. Pulled Pork, usually shoulder cut (sometimes referred to as mixed cuts), is commonly slow-cooked by smoking over wood, though a non-barbecue


title: "Pulled pork" content: method might also be employed using a slow cooker or a domestic oven. In rural areas across the United States, either a pig roast/whole hog, mixed cuts of the pig/hog, or the shoulder cut (Boston butt) alone are commonly used, and the pork is then shredded before being served with or without a vinegar-based sauce. Before cooking, it is common to soak the meat in brine; this process provides the extra moisture needed for a long, slow cooking process.

title: "Takeoff/Go-around switch" content: Takeoff/Go-around switch A Takeoff/Go-around switch (TO/GA: pronounced as "TO-ga") is a switch on the autothrottle of modern large aircraft, with two modes: "takeoff" (TO) and "go-around" (GA). The mode is dependent on the phase of flight; usually, on approach to land, the autopilot will be set to approach mode, therefore if the TO/GA switch is pressed it will activate the "go-around" mode of the autothrottle; conversely, when take-off is set on the autopilot, the switch activates "take off" mode of the autothrottle. On Boeing aircraft TO/GA modes are selected by a separate switch near the throttle levers, but on Airbus


title: "Takeoff/Go-around switch" content: aircraft it is activated by pushing the thrust levers fully forward to the TO/GA detent. Once an aircraft has lined up, the pilots increase the engine power. The level reached is 40–60% RPM of low pressure turbine on Boeings, and 50% on Airbuses. This is done to prevent flame-out on takeoff due to compressor stall. The pilots then press the TO/GA switch, by pushing the thrust levers to TO/GA on Boeings or to TO/GA or FLEX detent on Airbuses, and the engines then increase to their computed take off power. Modern aircraft flight management computers will determine the power needed


title: "Takeoff/Go-around switch" content: by the engines to take off, based on a number of factors such as runway length, wind speed, temperature, and most importantly the weight of the aircraft. In older aircraft these calculations were performed by the pilots before a takeoff. The advantage of having such a system is the ability to reduce wear and tear on the engines by using only as much power as is actually required to ensure the aircraft reaches a safe takeoff speed. The "go-around" setting is used during approach. If a pilot finds that he or she is unable to land safely, activating this switch

Throwing mixed confetti is seen as very bad form, since one would have picked it up from the street, which is obviously an unhygienic practice.

title: "Barrier (computer science)" content: any global communication (such as reduction or scatter) may imply a barrier. The basic barrier has mainly two variables, one of which records the pass/stop state of the barrier, the other of which keeps the total number of threads that have entered in the barrier. The barrier state was initialized to be "stop" by the first threads coming into the barrier. Whenever a thread enters, based on the number of threads already in the barrier, only if it is the last one, the thread sets the barrier state to be "pass" so that all the threads can get out of


title: "Barrier (computer science)" content: the barrier. On the other hand, when the incoming thread is not the last one, it is trapped in the barrier and keeps testing if the barrier state has changed from "stop" to "pass", and it gets out only when the barrier state changes to "pass". The following C++ code demonstrates this procedure. The potential problems are as follows: The following Sense-Reversal Centralized Barrier is designed to resolve the first problem. And the second problem can be resolved by regrouping the threads and using multi-level barrier, e.g. Combining Tree Barrier. Also hardware implementations may have the advantage of higher scalability.
