Abstract The article suggests that the story of the contest on Mount Carmel (1 Kgs 18:19–40) is a complete literary unit that was written by a single author in the early Persian period and inserted into the deuteronomistic story-cycle of Elijah. The story is entirely legendary and reflects the polemic of a devotee of YHWH against the contemporaneous spread of the Phoenician cult and culture. The attachment of the story to Mount Carmel may reflect the occasion of the establishment of a Tyrian/Sidonian temple on one of the mountain’s peaks, but this hypothesis cannot be verified. The story conveys a clear religious message of the absolute power of YHWH and the worthlessness of all other gods – in particular the Phoenician God Ba‘al – and of the fallacy of the belief in his divine power.

The Ideal

In what light does the Communist Party wish to project itself to the people? Is the local party secretary presented as the remote symbol of authoritarian efficiency, a reflection of the absolute power above? Or is he supposed to be a model of the nutrient “helper,” responsive to the people's needs and governed by humanitarian considerations? The actual quality of these relationships is of course inaccessible for direct observation, but we can examine some of the Communist presentations of the image and expectations in officially approved literary publications.

AbstractBased on the provisions of Article 1813 of the Civil Code which states that the granting of power ends with the withdrawal of the power of attorney, if it is associated with the clause granting the power of attorney in a binding purchase agreement which is an absolute power or that can’t be revoked, then it is clear that the clause is contrary to existing laws. This is also explained in Article 1814 of the Civil Code regarding the existence of the right of the grantor to withdraw his power of attorney if desired. Thus the absolute power clause is a deviation from the law. Based on the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 14 of 1982, it is also clear that this violates regulations which are still in force. That absolute clausal agreements as applied a lot is a form of contradiction in the law so that it should need to be revised. For data collection this research was carried out at the Palopo City Notary Office regarding the land purchase agreement as regulated in the Civil Code.Keywords: Deed, Buy and Sell, Absolute Power of Attorney.AbstrakBerdasarkan ketentuan Pasal 1813 KUH-Perdata yang menyebutkan bahwa pemberian kuasa berakhir dengan ditariknya kembali kuasa penerima kuasa, jika dikaitkan dengan klausul pemberian kuasa pada perjanjian pengikatan jual beli yang merupakan kuasa mutlak atau kuasa yang tidak dapat dicabut kembali, maka jelas bahwa klausul tersebut bertentangan dengan undang-undang yang ada. Hal ini juga dijelaskan pada Pasal 1814 KUH-Perdata tentang adanya hak dari pemberi kuasa dapat menarik kembali kuasanya manakala dikehendaki. Dengan demikian klausul kuasa mutlak merupakan penyimpangan dari undang-undang. Berdasarkan Instruksi Menteri Dalam Negeri Nomor 14 Tahun 1982, jelas juga hal tersebut melanggar peraturan yang sampai saat ini masih berlaku. Bahwa perjanjian clausul mutlak sebagaimana banyak diterapkan merupakan suatu bentuk pertantangan di dalam undang-undang sehingga hal tersebut seharusnya perlu mendapat revisi. Untuk pengambilan data penelitian ini dilakukan di kantor Notaris Kota Palopo yang berkenaan tentang perjanjian jual-beli tanah sebagaimana yang diatur dalam KUH-Perdata.Kata Kunci : Akta, Jual Beli, Kuasa Mutlak.

In advertising tourism discourse both verbal and iconic elements are combined in a network of interrelations to meet the tourists’ expectations. The main functions of advertising tourism discourse are to arouse curiosity, to form positive pictures and values in tourists’ mind and to lead tourists to self-convincing in the necessity to visit the advertised destination. Each discourse has own “time” and “space” markers. Our research focuses on the analysis of the time markers in advertising tourism discourse. Time markers in discourse influence the formation of positively marked affective image of tourism destination image in the potential tourist’s mind. Chronotope of advertising tourism discourse expressed in time and space markers allows to define the discourse as “dialogue” in time and space loop. Advertising tourism discourse is a symbiosis of persuasive and emotional components that allows considering it as communication with the implementation of influential methods and means to induce the recipients and stimulate them to the addresser- favorable actions. Time markers attract recipient’s attention and highlight the necessity of the advertised product (tourism destination). We defined main time markers in English advertising tourism discourse. Addresser manipulates time markers in advertising tourism discourse, stresses on positive side of time spending and gives recipient the feeling of the absolute power over time.

A Franciscan philosopher and theologian, Vital du Four was noted for denying the distinction between a thing’s essence and its existence, for expounding an Augustinian theory of perception and for emphasizing the absolute power and contingency of God’s will in creating the universe. One interpretation of his views holds that created things have no intrinsic goodness, only that which has been conferred upon them by God.
