Exploring GNU/Hurd – The lost operating system
Have You Hurd
The GNU project hasn't given up on the venerable Hurd project, and this long-running GNU Free OS project has recently received a burst of new energy with the release of a new Debian port.
When Free Software Foundation founder Richard Stallman launched the GNU project in 1983, his goal was to produce a complete operating system that satisfied his vision of Free software. Stallman (and other developers within the GNU community) started by building developer tools, such as the GCC compiler, and moved on to create program libraries, a command shell, text editors, and several end-user applications. By the late 1980s, one important piece was still missing: a suitable kernel.
The project had already survived a failed kernel development project in the mid-1980s, based around the TRIX kernel. In 1987, Stallman suggested a new effort to incorporate a kernel based on the Mach microkernel, which was originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University. This new microkernel system would come to be known as Hurd [1]. (See the box "Why the Spelling? Why the Name?")
Why the Spelling? Why the Name?
Original lead developer and architect Thomas Bushnell claims that HURD is an acronym for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons," where "Hird" is intended to mean "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth." Bushnell refers to this extreme turn of geeky wordplay as "mutually recursive acronyms." Beyond the humor, however, one is invited to imagine the cloud of services around the kernel as a herd (or hurd). The name is often taken to mean a hurd of gnus.
The choice of a microkernel system was consistent with the opinions of many experts at the time, who saw benefit in limiting the kernel to essential functions like memory management and scheduling, while delegating other services to surrounding processes operating in user space.
Linux users might remember a debate about the relative merits of a microkernel versus a monolithic kernel in the heated exchange between Linus Torvalds and Andy Tanenbaum in 1992 [2]. Most modern operating systems, including Linux, are monolithic – that is, as Tanenbaum explained, "the whole operating system is a single a.out file that runs in 'kernel mode.' This binary contains the process management, memory management, file system and the rest." By contrast, with a microkernel, "most of the OS runs as separate processes, mostly outside the kernel. They communicate by message passing. The kernel's job is to handle the message passing, interrupt handling, low-level process management, and possibly the I/O."
A microkernel limits the complexity the kernel, offering a more object-oriented approach to the design. Also, if one of the surrounding services crashes, it doesn't bring down the whole system. Computer scientists in the 1980s viewed microkernels as the future, but Linus's monolithic Linux kernel soon overshadowed Tanenbaum's own Minix, and Hurd never did grow stable or usable enough to become the centerpiece for the ever-sprawling GNU software system. Within a few years, most users within the Free Software community had drifted to systems centered around Linux or one of the BSD Unix flavors. (See the "Monolithic Blowback" box.)
Monolithic Blowback
Even in 1992, not everyone was enamored of the microkernel concept. In his memoir [5], Linus Torvalds states his reason for rejecting the microkernel architecture for Linux. "The theory behind the microkernel was that you split the kernel into fifty independent parts, and each of the parts is a fiftieth of the complexity. But everybody ignores the fact that the communication among the parts is actually more complicated than the original system was – never mind the fact that the parts are still not trivial." A messy, monolithic system can thus offer some performance and scalability benefits, even if it lacks the (theoretical) stability and flexibility of a microkernel.
But a loyal team of developers continued to work on Hurd, and Richard Stallman, who has never exactly gelled with the Linux kernel development community, has continued to remind the world that the Hurd exists as a Free software alternative. Although almost no one uses the Hurd on an actual production server or desktop system, the project has recently experienced a resurgence of interest with the recent arrival of Debian GNU/Hurd 2013 ("wheezy"), a variant of the Hurd grounded in Debian technologies [3] [4].
More on the Hurd
Today, pure microkernels have all but disappeared from modern computers, although some modern systems are so-called hybrid kernels [6], in which some device drivers remain in the kernel, but the file server and other services run in user space. (Examples of hybrid kernels include Windows 8; Haiku, the free-licensed re-creation of BeOS [7]; and Dragonfly BSD [8] – as well as the Hurd itself.)
A number of variations on the Hurd, including ones based on the Arch and Gentoo distributions have come and gone, but, aside from Tanenbaum's own Minix [2], Debian GNU/Hurd is one of the few Unix-like hybrid microkernels still in active development, and probably the most accessible system for modern users who want to get a sense of how microkernels work. This experience is useful not so much to decide which side of the old debate is right, but to see the theory in practice and to broaden your knowledge of kernels in general. Technically, Debian GNU/Hurd consists of a GNU Mach microkernel [9] and the Hurd servers (daemons), through which the kernel communicates with the rest of the operating system.
The servers reside in user space, which minimizes the portion of the system that must operate from within kernel space. The Hurd uses the DDE Toolkit [10] to access Linux 2.6.32 drivers from user space. The Mach microkernel also includes some Linux drivers, although they date from the Linux 2.0 era and are of limited value for today's systems. (These borrowings mean you might have more success installing on a system that is five years old, rather than a brand new computer.)
Installation and Navigation
Debian GNU/Hurd is available in the same images as other Debian operating systems, including DVD, CD, and netinstall – a minimal image that downloads most of the installation from the online repositories [12]. For some reason, all of the netinstall images that were posted in May 2013 failed once they start to download from online repositories, so you are probably best off installing from the DVD and ignoring the invitation to connect to a repository. Once you login to the system, you can then upgrade without difficulty.
A more reliable, if slower, option is the virtual image in the repository for KVM and Qemu (Figure 1). This image works best when converted for use in VirtualBox with the command:
/usr/bin/VBoxManage convertfromraw debian-hurd.img debian-hurd.vdi --format vdi
Help for installation is spotty. The help mailing list has little to no traffic [13], so try the main
debian-hurd list instead [14]. You may find some information around the general GNU Hurd page [15], but check it against the Debian GNU/Hurd pages instead of assuming it is applicable. Your best resources for installation are the
README.txt and
YES_REALLY_README.txt files in the Hurd repository. These files will give you basic instructions about configuring the system and running the Hurd virtually, as well as providing additional links to guide your exploration. If you are not familiar with Debian, you may also need to search through the general Debian information, most of which will be applicable to Debian Hurd. Some information is lacking altogether, in particular hardware support. At other times, you are left to infer basic facts for yourself – including that only the ext2 filesystem is currently supported, and that, just because packages for the Gnome desktop environment can be installed does not mean that anything more than a basic window manager can actually be run with ease.
After you overcome such difficulties, boot into the system. If you have installed from a virtual image, log in as root (Figure 2), leaving the password blank. Even though the Debian Installer asks you to add an everyday user, your installation is for experimenting only, so security is not a concern – although you might want to create an ordinary user later.
startx opens Debian Hurd's IceWM window manager, a primitive but functional graphic interface (Figure 3). Aside from a few additions, the desktop applications are identical to those in other versions of Debian, although many are as much as a year behind in versions and may not have been as thoroughly tested as their GNU/Linux equivalents. The Bash shell differs only in a few commands (see below). The apt-get packaging system differs only in the repositories to which it points and the fact that only about 78% of Debian packages have been configured so far for Debian GNU/Hurd [11]. Other standard bits of Debian technology, such as dpkg-reconfigure, are also available. The similarity of the system to Debian versions of GNU/Linux is a reminder that, aside from the kernel, both operating systems share a common set of utilities and applications. But, if you're looking for differences, the most interesting things about the Hurd are visible at the command line.
Exploring Translators
You often hear that, in Linux, everything is a file including device files to communicate with the kernel's hardware device drivers and mount points. For the most part, each file has attributes such as an owner, group, path, and permissions, which are stored in a unique inode. These attributes can be read and edited through POSIX calls like read and write, but each inode must be edited separately rather than as a class.
By contrast, a microkernel like GNU/Hurd include servers called translators [16] that act as an interface for interacting with inodes. Translators are aware of common attributes and can modify existing attributes for all files, or even add new ones.
When an inode is accessed, a translator can return any action or response that is useful. The result is that translators are considerably more versatile than anything used with a monolithic kernel – for instance, as the Debian GNU/Hurd documentation notes, in theory a translator could make a file behave like a directory when the
cd or
ls commands are used, and like a file when accessed by
cat (although why you might want such behavior is another matter).
These characteristics mean that, for all the apparent similarity from an average user's perspective, a Hurd system operates very differently from a Linux system. For one thing, device files are provided by translators instead of the kernel. For another, because the kernel sees translators as just another user process, any user who has the permissions to access a particular inode can use any translators associated with that inode, even changing a translator's characteristics while it is running. Furthermore, one translator can support multiple device files – for instance, a single translator might support all hard disk partitions of a particular format.
To manipulate translators, a Hurd system uses three commands:
settrans: sets and removes translator characteristics [17]
showtrans: shows passive translators associated with a file (ones that are not running) [18]
fsysopts: edits settings for an active translator associated with a file (one that is running) [19]
For instance, if you want to display a filesystem at a particular mount point each time you boot, the command would look something like:
settrans -c /mnt /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd2s5
instead of any variation of the mount command.
Various pieces of documentation lead you through several examples of translators. The
README.txt starts with creating a file and writing (what else?) "Hello, World" to it, then deleting the phrase. It proceeds with instructions on how to set up transparent FTP on a remote site or mount an
.ISO image.
Other information can be found on the "Translators" page of the Debian GNU Documentation [20]. For example, you can see how to change a mount point to read only:
fsysopts /mntpoint --readonly
An especially interesting example of what you can do with translators is the creation of a sub-Hurd [21], or secondary Hurd operating system within an existing system.
Currently, the process is limited to accessing secondary Hurd installations, but you can easily imagine it evolving into the equivalent of containers on Linux and running guest operating systems. Meanwhile, sub-Hurds provide an efficient way of creating sandboxes for testing.

i bought this last christmas time as more of a preventitive than a treatment (i do have the beginnings of a few very fine lines right under my lower lashline) but only started using it regularly a few months ago. well, i've given it atleast 3 months, and although it's a terrific moisturizer and works well under makeup, i haven't seen any reduction in lines or ANY fading of dark circles, and i have very dark hereditary circles. it makes me feel so left out to read it's helped others with this, my biggest beauty problem! definitely not me. not a bad product, but nothing more than a glorified moisturizer imo.

I have very dark circles and it is one of my main beauty struggles. I just started using this product and already notice a difference in my dark circles. Kudos to Clinique!
After using this product religiously for 2 weeks I noticed that my little lines under my eyes are getting much worse and some new ones have quickly sprung up. I discontinued use and the lines have softened. Changed my rating to 1 lippie.

I'm 23 now and starting to notice tiny fine lines underneath my eyes. I've never had problems with bags but I have terribly dark circles (hereditary) I've tried many eye creams, and even the new rich creme from clinique, but I keep on returning to the repairwear. I might not truly need the collagen and all the extras it has yet, but I will later. I put this on right before I put on makeup in the morning and right after I take it off at night. It instantly plumps & brightens my eyes. I also have actually seen a reduction in the darkness of my circles (I've tried Hylexin & it didn't help at all after 3 months) I've noticed others have mentioned a tingling sensation but I never have and I have pretty sensitive skin. Also, I love the texture! Its very creamy but not oily- almost all of the other eye creams are very oily- even the gels feel like that. This just feels like a thicker moisturizer. I love it & recommend it for all ages.

I am 30 but I have eye wrinkles and bad dryness under them. I wear makeup every day and need moisture under my eyes, additionally I have extreme sensitivity to fragrances (around my eyes). After using All About Eyes (original) for several years, I was just not getting the moisture I needed and my wrinkles just stay put. I was told the repairwear was the best for wrinkles by the clinique girl. I am usually happy with Clinique (DDML is my face lotion) and they say fragrance free. BUT for some reason, this stuff irritates the crap out of my eyes. They burn and water all day when I use it. I can use the slightest amount before bed, and it does help so I will keep buying it until I find my HG. I am at a final straw with eye cream. HELP!!

Wonderful eye cream!!! It really does miracles. I am almost 37 years and I have very sensitive, thin skin around my eyes. Two years ago I still used to manage with All about Eyes. But that isn't enough anymore. I am so happy Clinique came up with the Repairwear line, most especially the eye treatment. This works for me and it's like a kind of potion keeping time and age from attacking skin approaching 40, goodness it's so hard to say and write this number!
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure

This cream has not done miracles, I have yet to hear of one that really does. It is however a lovely, rich cream that doesn't irritate or interfere with eye makeup in the morning. The skin under my eyes is definitely moister and my concealer goes on smoothly and stays put! Doesn't make my eyes sticky or goopy, but still works. I have been using a GWP sample but would certainly repurchase at full price. But, no need to, since GWP sizes are readily available on ebay for a fraction of the retail price. Ebay, I love you! Try this cream!

This will officially be my LAST Clinique skin care purchase! Just nothing special. No difference after 2 months of use. All I want is just preventive measures against aging, and I have some fine expression lines. I just want to feel a little tightening and smoothness but this sinks right in and nothing! Just feels like a silicone base. Not impressed. Save your money!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure

I wanted an eye cream I could use at night and in the day before I apply concealer. After using this at night I would wake up with yucky gooie-ness on my eyes and lashes. I thought I was applying too much product and barely put any on and still the gooie-ness was there! I can't figure it out because it isn't particularly thick or dense, perhaps it's just me, but I had to take it back since it just didn't work for me.
Age: Unknown
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other

I love this stuff! I have an on and off relationship w/ this stuff and for the past 2 months, this stuff along w/ Stri Vection Eye and All about Eyes has been my HG!
I got tired of shelling out a measly $18 every month for Burts Bee's Royal Eye Jelly (which should give you an idea of how heavy moisture I like). So, I had a billion Repairwear and All about Eyes samples so I starting to use those.
I also purchased Strivectin Eye to help w/ some of the lines and I apply that first. Then I do my facial serum. Afterwards, I apply a glob of Repairwear Eye Cream (I apply a lot so that it still looks slightly white b/c I like a TON of moisture), and then I continue w/ my Turnaround Cream and Repairwear Night Cream. As a final step, I apply a glob of All about Eyes on top. Now, this may seem like a lot!, and I know that it is, but it is so working for me right now. My eyes haven't looked this good in a long time! I'm very impressed. When I wake up my fine lines are barely noticeable which means my skin is plump and moisturized. The only sad thing is going to be when I run out of my eye cream samples. The Repairwear eye cream is somewhat hefty for me at $38.50 and all about eyes at $27. So my products may have to change, but for now, I LOVE THEM.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I don't have the best of luck with eye creams and the worst part is that I desperately need one so I keep trying them all. Luckily I got this one as a GWP and did not have to fork out any money for it, so I don't feel bad that it sucked. I used it for a good chunk of time (some products take a while to show effects) and............ nothing, nada, zilch happened! My fine lines are still there and the skin actually looked dehydrated. I even got another GWP sample a few months later and gave it to my sister to try and..... nothing happened! So I'd suggest getting a sample from Clinique first cuz you never know when a whole bunch of nothing will happen.

The New Global Food Crisis: Lester Brown's Full Planet, Empty Plates
The phrase "global food crisis" may strike us in the developed world as a bit overblown. Sure, we're paying more at the grocery store, and that's possibly affecting our discretionary spending… but we're definitely not going hungry. And, OK, there are people in other parts of the world that don't get enough to eat… but that's not anything new, right?
Yes, it's hard to imagine threats to our food supply when you can walk into a grocery store almost anywhere in the US and find an abundance of affordable meat, dairy, and produce. But in his new book Full Planet, Empty Plates: The New Geopolitics of Food Scarcity (affiliate link), Lester R. Brown, founder of the Earth Policy Institute, aptly demonstrates that our current food security situation is anything but normal… and could even represent the "weak link" to maintaining the standard of living to which we've become accustomed.
The structure of the book itself gives some insight into the threat posed by food scarcity. I've read a number of Brown's books over the years, and I've gotten used to a pattern in them: the first half or so scares the hell out of you; the second half shows that there's hope. After reading for a while, I flipped ahead a bit to see where that hopeful part started… and discovered that there wasn't one. The combination of threats to our food supply isn't like anything we've ever faced before, so we're treading into new territory.
Many of the elements of this combination aren't new, and Full Planet, Empty Plates provides ample history of the threats agriculture has faced before. Previous civilizations have destroyed the fertility of their soil, for instance, and the US Dust Bowl occurred because of poor land and soil management practices. We understand those problems, and have recovered from them. But now we're adding new threats: a population of over 7 billion people, falling water tables, climate change, and deforestation. These threats aren't just environmental: as we've already seen in the Middle East, these challenges to food security threaten the very structure of society itself. And the means by which we're trying to address these threats only deal with the symptoms of the problem: the global "land rush," for instance, may provide some temporary respite from food supply worries in some countries, but ultimately contributes to the larger challenges.
As with all of Brown's books, Full Planet, Empty Plates is very well-documented: as pointed out in a post here several weeks ago, over 150 data sets accompany the book. Brown fully explains the extent of food challenges in various regions of the globe, and the potential impacts based on environmental and socioeconomic factors in these regions. Yes, the reading can get a little dry or even overwhelming at points, but despite his grounding in the data, Brown never forgets the human impact, and portrays it with honesty and compassion.
This is a frightening book. We're dealing with challenges that are very new: the price spikes in 2007-08 are really the first to represent the combination of threats that Brown explores here. We're seeing some of that currently after this Summer's Midwestern drought. Despite the unique combination of threats, we do know how to deal with them: from family planning to low-carbon energy development to reforestation efforts, the solutions are available to us. I suppose that "if" keeps Brown from spelling out the hopefulness of this situation: we have the tools available to face this challenge, but, so far, we've proven unwilling to use them with the necessary urgency.
Have you read Full Planet, Empty Plates? If so, share your take on it…

No one shall be able to drive us from the paradise that Cantor has created for us. (David Hilbert)
I would say, 'I wouldn't dream of trying to drive anyone from this paradise. ' I would do something quite different: I would try to show you that it is not a paradise—so that you'll leave of your own accord. I would say, 'You're welcome to this; just look about you. '…
(For if one person can see it as a paradise…, why should not another see it as a joke?) (Ludwig Wittgenstein)
At one level, nobody could fail to be impressed by Cantor's work. It showed mathematical craftsmanship of the very highest calibre. But there was great room for debate about its significance. The infinite seemed at last to have been subjected to precise mathematical scrutiny. But perhaps Cantor had been indulging in technical flights of fancy. Perhaps, as I suggested in the last chapter, he had actually confirmed some of the most deeply entrenched prejudices about the infinite with his talk of inconsistent totalities.
Certainly it was too much to expect that the infinite would now uncritically be accepted as an object of mathematical enquiry in just the way that Cantor had represented it. There was some immediate opposition and hostility to his work, as we saw in the last chapter. Later thinkers reacted against it at a somewhat deeper level, recognizing the importance and merit of what they were reacting against but using this to think through some of the most fundamental questions about the nature of the infinite (and of mathematics). It is to their work, and related work, that we turn in this chapter.
The Dutch mathematician L. E. J. Brouwer (1881-1966) founded what was to become one of the most influential schools in the philosophy of mathematics, intuitionism. One of his main contentions was that mathematical

CO2 Levels Reach and Maintain 400 PPM - A Dubious Milestone in Human History
The World Meteorological Organization reports that, for the first time in human history, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) eclipsed 400 parts-per-million (ppm) in the northern hemisphere for the entire month of April. CO2 concentration vary with the seasons, generally reaching their highest level early in the northern hemisphere's spring before seasonal intake of CO2 from vegetation.
The first recording of 400 ppm occurred briefly in the spring of 2012 at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Arctic monitoring station in Barrow, Alaska. On May 9 2013, CO2 levels also topped 400 ppm at the CO2 observatory atop Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii.
The readings from April 2014 mark the first time CO2 concentrations of 400 ppm were observed for all monitoring stations throughout the northern hemisphere. The average concentration for April 2014 was 401.30 ppm. For April 2013 it was 398.ppm.
In 1958 Charles Keeling began the first continuous measurement of atmospheric carbon dioxide on the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, and is credited with the "Keeling Curve" graph showing both the seasonal variations in CO2 as well as it's steady and rapid rise since that time.
In 1959, after the first full year of data had been collected, atmospheric carbon dioxide was measured at 315.97. In 2013 average CO2 levels stood at 396.48, up from 393.82 in 2012. Average levels of CO2 are expected to reach 400 ppm or higher by 2015 or 2016.
Not only is CO2 on a steady rise, the rate of increase is accelerating as well, from about 0.7 ppm in the late 50′s to 2.1 ppm during the last decade.
As of May 28, 2014, CO2 levels at the Mauna Loa station were 402.11 ppm
"This should serve as yet another wakeup call about the constantly rising levels of greenhouse gases which are driving climate change. If we are to preserve our planet for future generations, we need urgent action to curb new emissions of these heat trapping gases," said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud. "Time is running out."

Gee. I guess those trillions of dollars thrown at the so called "renewable energy" scheme that was supposed to save us isn't working out all that well.
No one should express surprise. The world's largest and most successful form of climate change gas free primary energy, nuclear energy, has been under attack for more than half a century by people who call themselves, in an Orwellian fashion, "environmentalists." People for whom action speaks louder than self labeling have fought as hard as they could to stop this silliness, but it appears they lost.
I note that nuclear energy prevented the dumping of about two years worth of dangerous fossil fuel waste, over 60 billion metric tons. Without it, we'd be looking at something probably well over 410, maybe even 420 ppm.
This comment may sound like Schadenfreud, but it's not really. Every human being, if not every living thing, will suffer the consequences.
It rains on the just and the unjust alike.

Couldn't agree more.
Antinuclearism is the primary cause of global warming, air polution and energy poverty. Those who continue to drive the ongoing crusade against nuclear power will be held to account, though it may take a while. In the meantime, let those who understand this injustice keep up the good work of challenging the pretenders and informing the misinformed.

I've been to Barcelona twice, and each visit coincided with important Catalan cultural celebrations. As a Canadian who has watched a couple of significant efforts toward independence for Quebec in my lifetime, I thought I had a decent understanding of what to expect when I visited Barcelona on September 11, 2014. It turned out to be so much more than any one thing – it was a solemn celebration, a raging party and a plan for the future.
Sidebar: September 11 is La Diada Nacional de Catalunya, an important commemoration of the defeat of Catalunya during the war of Spanish succession in 1714.

Hume Studies
Volume 38, Number 1, April 2012
pp. 55-78 | 10.1353/hms.2012.0002
In this paper, I resolve a potential contradiction between two of Hume's central tenets: that complex perceptions consist of simple perceptions and that distinct things are separable. The former implies that a complex perception is not separable from its constituent simple perceptions, as a change in its constituents destroys its identity. The latter entails that the complex perception is separable from these simple perceptions, since it is distinct from them. This is a contradiction. I resolve it by appealing to a third kind of distinction in addition to the two kinds Hume mentions: real distinctions and distinctions of reason. This third distinction is a partial distinction. I argue that just as the separability principle does not apply to distinctions of reason, neither does it apply to perceptions that are only partially distinct from other perceptions. Hence, the apparent contradiction is resolved.

This article seeks to question the relationship between ideology and perfumery, specifically asking to what extent fine fragrance engages in social ideologies and how this relationship affects taste cycles and olfactory associations. So often the value of fragrance experiences is communicated by brands and consumers to lie in one's emotional response, memories, desire and, crucially, identity

Eyeballs! That's what lychees always remind me of! So when this week's French Fridays with Dorie recipe rolled around, I knew I wouldn't include them in the dish.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

This is a good idea. Done.

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Repository access
Many sites have a link to view the repository such as:
Source code repository http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=cl-semantic
however, I can't find any place that describes how to convert that link into something that can be used to actually check out the source code. I'm very suppressed this hasn't been an issue before.

Sovereign RULE
Jesus said, my kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place. John 18:36.
A kingdom is the sovereign ruler ship and governing influence of a King over his territory, impacting it with his will, his intent, and his purpose, manifesting a culture and society reflecting the Kings nature, values, and morals.
The very heart of any kingdom is its King. Heaven exists because of the creative activity of God. It is infused with his presence, character, and authority. Jesus came to the earth to reestablish the kingdom. The Bible leaves no doubt as to his kingship. Jesus said, my kingdom is not of this world, and my kingdom is from another place, clearly implying that he was a King. He was speaking of the kingdom of heaven, notice that Jesus said that his kingdom was not of or from this world; he never said that it was not in this world. His kingdom on earth originated in heaven.
God created us for kingship – for dominion – and inside each of us is a latent kingdom consciousness striving for expression. This consciousness reveals itself in various ways, such as in our natural resistance to being ruled or controlled by any other person and our continual longing to control the circumstances of our own lives.
we all seek power over things and over circumstances, and that is what the kingdom of heaven promises. Jesus said, I will testify to the truth of the kingdom, and when you hear me, what I have to say will resonate with the kingdom consciousness and that is already in you. We connect with the kingdom message because it addresses the most deep seeded longing of your heart – our longing to be Kings.
Take time to think about the drive with in you that seeks to have power over circumstances and things. How does this drive relate to your longing to be a King?

It wasn't the right formula for me. After quitting BCP my skin became quite oily again, I bought this foundation around the same time not realizing the switch that my skin was having.
The colour match was good, and the finish of this foundation is lovely. Medium coverage with a satiny finish, albeit I wouldn't call it neither sheer nor glowy. I have to say it's not the most lightweight foundation either, you can definitely feel it on your skin, so overall I found it more suitable for a night out where you want to look polished.
Unfortunately it turned greasy on me within an hour of wear so I swapped it away, but I can see how it would look amazing on people with normal to dry skin.

Nars sheer glow is great if you want:
Light to medium coverage
Glowing gorgeous skin
i have normal to dry skin so this applies amazingly on my skin and feels like i'm wearing nothing! Its not good however if you want to cover up your blemishes, i have a lot of pimples and it didnt do a very good job at covering it up but it did eliminate the redness and left my skin looking fresh and hydrated

I bought Nars Sheer glow in med#1 Punjab after watching countless youtube vids raving about it. Now there was differing opinion some said med-full coverage sum said sheer buildable.some said matte sum said glowy look...@first application I found this semi matte very natural looking.very natural (that bears repeating) id say this is on the light end of medium coverage.coverd my ruddy cheeks well with one layer but i still had redness coming thru.evened me out basically. For sum reason i couldnt build it up very well mabey i wasnt adding enuf but it seemed to hit a wall at medium.even with a primer it unfortunatly didnt last beyond 5hrs&I live in cool coastal weather& im not oily nor does my face sweat.this is the first foundation even ordering it online that was spot on in coloring, really great color match,punjab is light/med yellow based (youtube helps a lot with tryin to nail down ur shade, I live 6hrs from any makeup counter so this how I did my matching) I think I would be Barcelona as it is at the start of summer&I tan easily, .I ended up returning this because as much as I liked the silky thin texture, the smooth soft feeling on your face&the strong yellow base it sunk into my large visable pores after an hour of wearing. primer or no primer. I looked like I had little yellow spots all over my cheeks&nose where it sunk in. If you dont have visiable pores&you want a great natural looking foundation that feels very nice on (like you have nothing on) then this is a great one just not for me altho it did photograph very nice, just didnt look great in person&upclose after an hour for me.

Is this foundation nice? Yes! But I can't wear it because when I put it on, my face began to burn and sting awfully. I think it's just something in NARS products that bother me though. I have a NARS lipgloss and it stings also. I say get a sample and try before you buy!

This foundation is phenomenal. Don't let the "Sheer glow" confuse you with the coverage. The "Sheer glow" indicates that the GLOW is sheer. This foundation has a medium coverage which is buildable. It allows my skin to look like skin. It doesn't mask my skin to point where it will look like a heavy or thick foundation. Photographs beautifully. I have acne prone skin, and it has not broken me out. I'll continue to repurchase this foundation even though it's pricey, I believe that it IS worth it.
For reference, I'm an NC42 in Mac studio fix, and with this foundation I use Barcelona for my yellow-based skin tone.
The only thing I will say, which a lot of people complain about is that it does not come with a pump. But to be honest, that's fine with me. I just shake the bottle with the cap uncovered and my finger on the tip, then spot it onto my face. I also use my beauty blender for everyday use, and sigma flat top kabuki brush for FULL coverage.

I used this founadtion for 2 years and hate that I can no longer use it. My skin has gone through serious changes in the last 6 months. It went from blemish free- normal to oily, acne-prone and sensitive. The sheer glow is perfect if you have good skin. It'll give you a natural looking, min coverage look. I miss being able to wear it. I'm having a really hard time finding a new makeup in my color. (crying)

I'm going to start out by saying I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS FOUNDATION!!! I was a little hesitant about it at first because of the "sheer glow" and I'm an oily girl so I tend to associate glow for oily. So at first I went to Nordstrom and purchased the Sheer Matte, which was definitely not for me. I did not like the texture of the foundation and it felt very heavy to me, so I decided to take it back to Nordstrom and try the Sheer Glow. This foundation is absolutely gorgeous when applied right. Being that I'm quite oily I prime my face with milk of magnesia as well as SmashBox Photo Finish. This makeup is best applied with the fingers which helps it to sink into the skin naturally. It's a med coverage foundation but definitely build able. This is my go to foundation although its very expensive but I can't help the desire I have for it 😍 For reference I am NC50 MAC, New Orleans NARS, Chocolate MUFE Matt Duo, 75 MUFE Mat Velvet Plus.

I am obsessed with this foundation! I am NC30 and I use Punjab which is spot on. The first few times I've used this foundation I hated it because it had terrible lasting power. But then I realized this was a water-based foundation so I had to use a water-based primer (Smashbox Photoready Light or a Korres one) instead of a silicone one. This immediately changed how the lasting power of the foundation.
It offers buildable medium coverage and I know it is recommended to use fingers to apply but I use an angled flat top kabuki from Sedona Lace which is excellent for buffing the product in. No this product doesn't give a "glow" which I equate to "oily". It gives a skin like natural finish that is undetectable in real life.
As others have mentioned, there is no pump and it has to be purchased separately which I recommend so you don't waste product. I tried to go without for so long but realized I needed to invest in it. I believe it is around $6 at Nordstrom or NARS. I don't believe Sephora carries it.
Overall, I would repurchase this foundation despite its steep price tag (they raised the price to $44) because the color match is spot on, the lasting power is great, and it photographs really well.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium

I have to say I'm not a huge fan of this foundation. Not on myself, and not on any of my clients. (people always want to try this foundation).
The product is a very fluid like texture, fairly lightweight feeling. The coverage is around a sheer-medium coverage, leaning more towards medium. Despite the claims that this foundation is glowy, it is NOT at all. It's more of a natural finish. Initially, it applies well and blends easily, but the finish is atrocious. It accentuates pores like crazy, and leaves a dry cakey look on dry-combination skins with just one layer. If you have blemishes or redness to cover, you would require two layers of this foundation which would accentuate textural issues on the skin even more. I'll give it a 2 star rating because it does look okay on the lucky few who have baby smooth poreless skin. In my opinion it is definitely not worth the money, you're better off with MUFE HD, which also gives a natural finish and slightly better coverage without accentuating flaws.
