Job is blameless and upright at the beginning and, although discouraged, nothing is able to move him. He proclaimed, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." (13:15). Satan was allowed to test Job and was unsuccessful. We know this but Job didn't. So the issue of the integrity of Job demonstrates the greater truth of the integrity of God Himself.

Rose Zhang on Sunday on the 18th green at Liberty National Golf Club. Getty Images Of all the drives so powerful!, of all the irons so pure!, of all the pitches and chips and putts so precise!, of all the birdies so many!, maybe the most wonderful moment of this Rose Zhang party came Thursday, day one, three days ahead of her almost improbable breakthrough win at the LPGA’s Mizuho Americas Open, her first event as a pro. You may have missed it. But it features … you! A reporter had wanted to know about the gallery vibe at Liberty National Golf Club. After all, there were more than a few folks who came out to Jersey City, to see what all the fuss was about. Was the woman of the hour expecting more? Less? Way, way, way less, not that you mention it. “I was a little surprised that there were people out there,” Zhang said. “You know, it’s early in the morning. It’s a Thursday. I don’t expect anyone to be out here and be like, oh, go, Rose. “I guess there is a lot of significance to this round for me in particular, but I felt really just loved out there. I think everyone, every single putt I made, every single shot that I hit, it got a lot of little claps, little cheers. “It was great to see some of my family, friends. Coach Walker [Stanford coach Anne Walker] was walking with me, and Kevin, my agent, too. So I saw a bunch of faces out there that, you know, really just made me happy.” Awwww. That’s something, ain’t it. It’s unpretentious, sure. And we don’t expect warmth from our stone-cold killers, of which Zhang certainly is. But there’s more there. Sure, sound swings are built on sound minds, but it’s not that, though it doesn’t hurt. It’s why this burgeoning legend is so appealing. We won’t use big words here. And just three letters. Zhang is just having fun with all of this, too. F-U-N. And how fun is that? But I had to check in with some folks in the know to be sure. Notably, Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee said as much on Sunday morning on his Golf Central show. He compared Zhang to Nancy Lopez. The legend always smiled too, while punching her fellow pros in the face. Winner’s bag Rose Zhang’s Callaway gear at the 2023 Mizuho Americas Open By Jonathan Wall On the grounds at Liberty National, the feeling was the same. I messaged Gemma Dryburgh on Sunday afternoon. She’s my LPGA drinking buddy. If you’re new to this space, Gemma is backed by the St. Andrews Brewing Co., so yeah, we talk golf and beer. She’s an expert in both; I’m not in either. “Hi again, Gemma! I got to ask What’s your thought on Rose Zhang? Could you have done this at her age and with the attention? How’s she doing it? Pretty wild. Hope you’re doing well!!” “Hey Nick! Had fun playing with Zephyr in the pro am this week. What Rose is doing this week is unreal. I would not have even been close to doing this at her age. I definitely needed my four years at college to develop to even get close to this level. So what’s she’s doing at this stage is very impressive. Think she’ll be amazing for the women’s game!” I messaged Claire Rogers. She’s my teammate here on this website, and on Wednesday, she ate ice cream on a boat with the subject of this story — and you should watch the video of it all here. Claire would have the scoop. Sorry, not sorry for that word play! Remember what we’re trying to have here. Hey, Claire! I’m kinda workshopping an idea for Rose and a story. Am I right in thinking that she’s kinda just having fun out there? Like, not that other players don’t, and not that she’s not a killer, but yeah, she’s having a blast. I’ve been thinking that for a while, and then with your video and all. What do ya think? “I think so too! She doesn’t seem to put too much pressure on herself. “Did you see her transcript from yesterday?” “I think she kinda said something similar.” Claire was right! There was even more of what we heard Thursday. This was particularly wonderful from Zhang “I was talking to my caddie in between shots, but just seeing everyone supporting me and everyone’s reactions to some of my good shots, I just think it’s so funny.” There’s that word again. All that from the first woman to win two NCAA Division I individual crowns. And the player who won 12 times at Stanford, and no, not even that Tiger guy did that. She won the Women’s Am and Junior. In April, she won the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. And it just kept going and going on Sunday. No, it wasn’t pretty. But it was fun. There’s that word again! How about that shot on the par-4 12? At this point, Zhang was up one, then hooked her tee shot left and onto another hole. And then? She knocked her ball over a tree, ran up a slope to see where the heck it was going — and smiled after it stopped 10 feet from the cup. There was more! How about the par-4 17th? She was still up one. She ran her birdie putt 10 feet past. And then? She rammed her par putt in. She fist-pumped. There was more! How about the par-4 18th? The result? Well, that stunk. Zhang bogeyed. Her tee shot had rolled into a fairway bunker. But on her escape, she ran again. She smiled. When she missed her 7-footer for par and started her walk toward a playoff with Jennifer Kupcho, she smiled again. No way! There was more! How about the first hole of the playoff, back on 18? After three shots, Zhang was back in the same spot on the green as she was in regulation. This time, she was good. This time, she fist-pumped again. This time, she smiled again. They headed back to the 18th tee. Amateur golf legend Rose Zhang is officially a pro. Here’s how that’s going By Alan Bastable And how about what came next? Tee shot down the left side of the fairway. Fairway metal to 10 feet. Two putts. Winner! Smiles! Hugs! Super agent Mark Steinberg even gave her one. Zhang is now an LPGA member. She’s eligible for the Solheim Cup. She’s the first to win an LPGA event in her pro debut since Beverly Hanson did so at the 1951 Eastern Open. For those doing the math, that’s 52 years older than Zhang. “Rose, what an absolute tremendous performance,” Golf Channel’s Karen Stupples told her just off the 18th green. “Just two weeks ago, you were winning the NCAA championships. In your wildest dreams, did you ever imagine that you would be standing here an LPGA champion?” “No. “What is happening?” Fun! OK, OK, Zhang won’t win ’em all. She didn’t really close on Sunday. She was up two to start the day, didn’t make a birdie and shot a two-over 74. That won’t cut it. And maybe when adversity like that strikes again, this all crashes. Does it continue? Who knows? So we’ll be guarded. Then again fun, like winning, can be contagious. And for now at least, after win one on week one, she’ll keep having it. And oh, so will we.

British English speakers might use the active form I have just offered him a well-paid job with Radio Four. colloq. I just offered him that job! I believe the reason is that He was offered connotes an event some time in the past, and contradicting that with just sounds odd.

It uses the right tense as the present perfect tense is used to talk about events that occurred very recently. "He was just offered a well-paid job with Radio Four" sounds a bit awkward and doesn't effectively tell the listener about when exactly the job was offered - recently or sometime in the past. gold badges33 silver badges62 bronze badges answered Mar 8, 2019 at 1815
CultureComedyFive Minutes with FitzOpinionAdam Spencer is greater than the sum of his parts. He’s a self-confessed maths nerd, a skilled communicator and in-demand MC who has worked across all media. He is about to embark on a tour with a world-famous cosmologist. Fitz Adam! I gather that you’re even being with us is something of a miracle given the difficulties you had at birth?Adam Spencer “If I am in a room of randomly selected people, I’m a maths genius. In a room of maths PhDs, I’m as dumb as a box of hammers.”Credit James BrickwoodAS I’ll be honest, I don’t recall much of it, but my Mum tells the story. January 1969, I was plucked out by metal forceps and, yep, looked like I wasn’t going to make it. Significant amounts of blood had pooled in my skull and was putting pressure on my brain. I had multiple seizures in my first hours alive. I’m one of the few atheists who has been baptised … twice … once at the hospital when it looked like it was lights out, and then once later in church. I pulled through, but it gave me my wonky eye …Fitz You might call it a “wonky” eye, but I am not sure I You have my permission. My wonky eye comes from the doctor at the time not really knowing how to apply forceps in those days massive claws, attached at such a bad angle it cut off the blood supply to a muscle in my eye. I couldn’t open my eyelid, and can only see out of that eye because the one and only Fred Hollows removed a chunk of said lid. But today, if there was a magic pill that could make it go away, I wouldn’t take it. I’m quite comfortable with it. If anything it’s a sort of signature that people tend to Tell me about your academic breakthrough as a Spencer with Wil Anderson during their triple j AS My voracious love of maths made me what teachers call “a challenging student”. But one fateful day my second grade teacher, Ms Russell, said, “Adam, after lunch, we’re going to do 10 questions in this chapter on multiplication. If instead of going to class, you go to the library, I bet you can’t get all 50 questions in the chapter done in the time we do 10.”Fitz And …?AS Peter, I can still remember running for the library at the end of lunch. And that’s what we did from then on. I’d go and do extra questions by myself. I’d bring them back to Ms Russell and say, “Look, you don’t need to mark them. I’ve checked them and they’re all correct. In fact, I think there’s a misprint in question 37.” Ms Russell was a great teacher. Great teachers are often ones who realise that a certain kid needs a particular challenge, or a little bit of support, and with me, she just shovelled in more and more maths. A few years later I got a life-changing scholarship to St Aloysius You were there with Joe Hockey, am I right?AS He was my cadet commander in Year 9! So if we’d ever been invaded by Monte St Angelo or another local girls’ school I would have been first up out of the trenches at Sergeant Joe’s The first time I noticed you, I was invited to do a debate for Sydney Uni against Oxford at a rugby club function, and thought I blew everyone off the stage until you came up and blew me off the stage. I wrote about you in the Herald, so can I claim to have invented you, or at least discovered you?AS [Drolly.] Absolutely. And if it wasn’t for that. I’d still be just hanging around Wentworth Park trying to debate my way into being a media superstar!Fitz So not long after that you wound up hosting a breakfast show with Wil Anderson at triple Yes. At the time I was doing a PhD in pure maths at Sydney Uni, but I was not meant for it. If I am in a room of randomly selected people, I’m a maths genius. In a room of maths PhDs, I’m as dumb as a box of hammers. Thankfully, someone enrolled me in triple j’s first Raw Comedy competition. Now I can crack a joke and was confident on stage, and being the first such comp, the standard was abysmal. So I won! When the Js said, “do you want to come to do some stuff?” that was a very easy choice for me to Which led to hosting Breakfast on ABC Radio Sydney, and inventing Dry July, which is coming up?“In my corporate persona, I’m smarter than the funny guys, and funnier than the smart guys.”AS Indeed. In 2008, we were doing talkback on the subject of giving up alcohol. Three guys got in touch, saying they were having a “dry July” to raise money for the Prince of Wales Hospital. Our listeners all hopped on board and decided they’d sponsor these guys and even do a dry July themselves. One of the guys, a web designer, banged out a page. A month later, instead of three guys raising $3000 for the hospital, 1000 people got together and raised $257,000. Dry July was born. In 15 years we’ve raised $82 million. It’s humbling and the closest thing I have to a Where does the money go?AS Dry July supports adult cancer services. We’ve helped over 80 hospitals, allied health services, survivorship programs and the So how do you define yourself these days? Are you a celebrity mathematician, an author, a republican activist, a thinker, a drinker, a comedian, an MC for hire?AS Jack-of-all-trades is a cliched term, but I’ve always had multiple interests. My main job now is as corporate speaker and MC and with my nerdy mathematics background I talk a lot about digital disruption and AI. All the sexy conversations right now concern how ChatGPT and “large language” models will change the world. I’ve always said that, in my corporate persona, I’m smarter than the funny guys, and funnier than the smart You’re an expert on AI too? I still don’t get it. Are we all ruined or are we all going to be OK?AS The upsides are gigantic. The downsides are potentially perilous. I’m calmed by the fact that there’s a lot of really smart people thinking very hard about it. But we absolutely have to keep an eye on the speed at which artificial intelligence is developing, and the potential misuses is it could be put to everything from ransomware attacks to facilitating Neil deGrasse Tyson will be interviewed on stage by Spencer during the upcoming Australian tour. Credit Fitz Yes, yes, yes. Of course, terrorism. But can we bring it back to us for a moment? I do hope it’s not going to threaten mathematicians with … dodgy eyes, or former footballers who can pound typewriters, is it?AS For the moment, I think we’ll be OK. There’s no doubt a lot of professions will be disrupted, maybe even removed. But above all one is safest. A few years ago, Oxford University analysed which industries and professions were the most future-proof against AI? Get this – the single safest of all is … hairdressing! It’s as much about the chat and the conversation and therapy as it is the tips and the foils. I think that’s I see that in July you’re touring the country, sober, with a very real intelligence, interviewing Neil deGrasse Tyson. I’ve long seen his name without quite grasping who he is, bar He’s a superstar American cosmologist and astrophysicist, a formidable public intellect specialising in the deep questions about space, the universe and life therein. The tour is called Cosmic Perspectives on Civilisation, and we will discuss how the universe works. Where did it come from? Where did life come from? Are we just a unique one-off intelligence in the universe? Is there any likelihood that there are other civilisations out there? Will we ever encounter them? If we did, how would we communicate? Are they, by definition, miles ahead of us? If they’ve discovered the same things, will their mathematics be the same as ours? Would the physics be the same? Really deep and fun questions. Balancing the fact that we are intelligent enough to be able to contemplate that question against the “infinite” size of the universe; does that mean there has to be millions of other intelligent civilisations out there? Or could we be is this incalculably small statistical fluke?LoadingFitz Buggered if I know. But, bearing in mind that you’ve been doubly baptised, what about the question, does God exist?AS I feel strongly no. For some people religion fulfils that part of humanity that needs a sense of wonder, a sense of awe, a sense of humility. I see the images from the James Webb Telescope, cancer immunotherapy treatments, Breaking Bad season five, and I get more than enough of a sense of wonder and awe and associated humility. I don’t need an additional layer of hypothesis that doesn’t answer a single question and only raises many, many more issues to complicate things. We’ll be taking all those kinds of questions from the Well, here is a question here from the fellow that used to wear a red bandana, over here in the corner. My question is to you, Mr Spencer, not Neil. I’ve seen you do quite a few maths books which have seriously clever quizzes and puzzles. Hit me with your best shot. Let’s go out on your most clever maths quiz or How about this? If you take a deck of cards and genuinely shuffle it, then that order of cards hasn’t ever happened before in the history of the universe. And it will never happen again. I know that with absolute I like it, and am appropriately stunned. Next question. Best maths joke?AS An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one says, “I’ll have a beer”. The second one says, “I’ll have half a beer”. The third one says, “I’ll have a quarter of a beer”. Before the fourth one can say, “I’ll have an eighth of a beer”. The barman pours them two beers and says, “piss off, guys.” Get it?Fitz [Stony silence.]AS Hey, tough crowd tonight!Fitz Thanks for your infinite time. And I will tell the readers why your joke is funny, when you send it to me.

1 Hi everyone, Could you, please, tell me it´s proper to say in English, "What is he?", for when you mean "What is his job?". Thanks in advance! 2 In AE, we would say "What does he do?" Less common for us would be "What is his profession?" 3 "What does he do for a living" is also possible, but i don´t know how common it is in Britain or the USA. 4 Sure, Frank. That is another option, and it is at least as common as 'his profession', if not a bit more common. 5 "What does he do for a living" is quite common in the UK, or "what does he work as?". 6 'What does he do?' is also very common in BE. Rover 7 Many thanks for your time and explanations, to all of you! With compliments, 8 "What is he?" in acceptable in casual use when the context is clear. "He works at the factory." "What is he?" Or "what does he do?" or "what is his job? "He's a machinist." 9 I see... So, What is he? is correct too, if the context is clear, otherwise, the question we ask to find out the job of somebody is, What´s is job?, isn´t it? 10 I see... So, What is he? is correct too, if the context is clear, otherwise, the question we ask to find out the job of somebody is, What´s is job?, isn´t it? Correct, but 'What does he do?' or 'What does he do for a living?' would sound much more natural than 'What is his job?'. 11 Thank you! Now it´s crystal clear indeed. Best wishes, 12 Hello. Does the question "What is he?" also work when the answer is "He's a student"?
