of $2,400.00. She works on a straight commission basis. The nature of her work is such that she has to lift heavy wallpaper books, get up on ladders, and handle bolts of fabric. For sometime after the accident she did not have any grip in her hand and testified that she lost control over the use of her hand and arm. Dr. Robert M. Launch, plaintiff's medical witness, testified that she had a whiplash injury to the cervical muscles and spine. He said the accident was the cause of the whiplash injury he found in his examination on May 7, 1959. He saw plaintiff about twenty times in the four years prior to the trial and said that her complaints of pain made at the time of trialwere justified and compatible with the type of injury she sustained and that she will continue to have these complaints and difficulties of which she complains for an indefinite period. Plaintiff testified that she had no headaches other than the normal headaches prior to the accident and following the accident she suffered terrific headaches. She testified that following the accident the pain in her upper back and neck was quite severe and as her neck and upper back injury subsided and tended to cause less pain, the lower part of her back continued to bother and to pain her. At the time of her testimony she said that the neck and upper back had not cleared up completely but was more comfortable than shortly after the accident but

When wasdetails to worry about, so Rawry was out of luck.

Rawry did, however, make it into my overnight bag and came down to the hotel for the weekend festivities. I told Nicole that I would love it if she could capture a ring shot with Rawry. The results, in my opinion, are adorable.When it was time for me to leave the bridal suite to see Chris for the first time, I kissed Rawry goodbye and put him on the bed. After the first look and the pictures, Chris and I had a moment alone in the bridal suite before heading to the church. We went to check on Rawry and he was gone. I panicked for a moment thinking that housekeeping had snatched him up with the bed linens


uncle and I stepped into place as the music began to change. I could hear our guests stand. My Uncle took my hand, put it on his arm, and the doors opened. It was one of, if not the best moment ever. My eyes fell on Chris, waiting at the end of the aisle. He was beaming. So was I.The ceremony was perfect in so many ways. But it flew by. Before we knew it, it was time for the first kiss. Which we practiced before hand. And it too was perfect.

A Chicago native, Hillary had remarked she had been a lifelong Cubs fan before her Senate run. While running for the Senate in New York, she mentioned she had also been a lifelong Yankees fan. Riiiiiight.

Tim Russert in one of the dozens of Democratic debates quizzed her on a number of issues which ducked until:

…Russert threw her a curveball, asking if she would back the Yankees or Chicago Cubs, her childhood home team, if they met in the World Series. So she waffled. “Well, I would probably have to alternate sides,” she said.

After both teams are eliminated, Hillary says she is relieved she no longer has to “straddle the bleachers.” I could list the many other issues on which Hillary has opportunistically switched positions on. But I’m exhausted


Obama has remained steadfastly a White Sox fan, even this year with the Sox out of contention and his other hometown team the Cubs in the playoffs. The reason he’s made some news however is because he has called out Hillary on her shifty position.

Governor Bill Richardson made news because of the sheer stupidity of his response. He did not look insincere because he said one thing to one audience and another some years later to a different one. His implosion occurred in a single fateful sitting before an audience of one while discussing his favorite baseball team on Meet the Press:

GOV. RICHARDSON: I, my favorite team has always been the Red Sox.

Mongolia is one of the last unspoiled regions on Earth with endless pastureland, wild horsemen located amid a fascinating landscape along with huge herds of cattle and horses. In the north of Orkhon Valley is the Khangain Nuruu National Park, a romantic mountain landscape. Set on a remote mountain summit is the old and well known monastery of Tuvkhunii Hyid.

In 1653 the remarkable religious and political dignity, Undur Gegeen Zanabazar, came to the monastery. He was a direct descendant of both Genghis Khan and MongoliaGÇÖs first religious leader, Bogd Javzundamba. The monastery that was built here has always been a place of tranquillity and prayer, a place in which wisdom comes from meditation.

As in all Buddhist monasteries, daybreak is greeted ceremoniously and


young monks blow into shells and turn towards all four points of the compass.

In 2004, UNESCO designated this Mongolian sanctuary as a World Heritage Site, as part of the Orkhon Valley area of culture.

In the remoteness of MongoliaGÇÖs splendid mountain world, all who come here are reminded of the sacred inner values of life.

Adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy of superficial bladder cancer with monthly doxorubicin or intensive mitomycin. A comparison of two consecutive series.
120 patients with the first occurrence of TNM stage Ta or T1 bladder carcinoma were given adjuvant intravesical treatment in 2 consecutive series. The first 60 received doxorubicin monthly for 6 months, then on the 9th and 12th month following surgery. The second series was given mitomycin weekly for 2 months, then monthly to the end of the first year. Median follow-up is 48 months in the first series and 15 in the second. In the doxorubicin group, 28 patients had recurrences. The recurrence rate is 1.86/100 patient-months. Seventeen of these first relapses occurred within the first year.

New York Times columnist David Brooks decided to go there on Sunday's "Meet the Press."

Brooks suggested that President Barack Obama has a "manhood problem" when it comes to his foreign policy in the Middle East. Brooks made the comment during a roundtable discussion about Russia president Vladimir Putin's aggression toward Ukraine. NBC News' Chuck Todd said that Obama's response to the situation is critical as other countries are watching the situation closely.

"Basically since Yalta we've had an assumption that borders are basically going to be borders, and once that comes into question, if in Ukraine or in Crimea or anywhere else, then all over the world ... all bets are off," Brooks replied.

He continued, "And let's face it, Obama, whether deservedly or not, does have a -- I'llthe characters seen are not present in the new series.

Hiking in the heat

The road round Kauai only covers three quarters of the island. The remaining quarter is the Napali coast which is only accessible by boat or on foot. During my four days, I drove as far as I could in each direction. Kapa’a is centrally located so it was easy to go either way. Speed limits on the roads are variable and are rarely above 50kph so progress was slow, which suited me.

When I visited, the road in the north was blocked at Hanalei Beach. Recent flooding severely affected the area and the road beyond was under repair. There were obvious signs of damage on the beachfront where houses had collapsed. It is a wide sweeping sandy beach and is beautiful even when mist shrouds themountains and it is drizzling with rain. It also has a well-known surf break.

Hanalei beachBreakfast food truck

I started each morning with a visit to the breakfast truck across the road from the hostel. The granola with papaya was excellent as was the coffee. The locals congregated on one side of the bus and the visitors on the roadside. I infiltrated the ‘locals area’ on my second morning. On the third day, they included me in the conversation! I also met two young ladies, one from Philadelphia and the other from Nova Scotia. They were both solo travellers and also a little bemused by the hostel. We enjoyed exchanging travel stories whilst imbibing our coffee.

Waimea Canyon was my principal reason for visiting Kauai and it did not disappoint. A


the suggested time and the track was not as difficult as anticipated. From the ridge, it was possible to see down and across the canyon where a sightseeing helicopter hovered. I went to the end and hung over the top of the waterfall, holding on to a tree branch for safety. I needed the challenge!

Afterwards, I continued on to the western end of the road hoping to access the beach. However it was closed (or I was in the wrong place). I found a large and intimidating missile base instead! I returned to Waimea town for a wander and a late lunch of shrimp tacos. This used to be an important trading post andthe wharf still stands intact. In the past, there had been many Chinese and Japanese immigrants, who played an important part in the trading history of the area. They also influenced the styles of the buildings, some of which remain today. There is still a strong Japanese influence in local businesses.

On the way back, an impromptu diversion took me to Salt Pond Park, where many families were enjoying the late afternoon sun. The salt ponds next to the beach are maintained by specific families. The quantity of salt produced depends on the amount of rainfall and the degree to which the water dries out. This year’s harvest could be in jeopardy because of


it affects the whole target in the cell.

The uppermost stratum at the inner crater rim region is completely ejected and deposited on top of the outer crater rim region. Deeper strata in this region is plastically deformed and thinned to conform the inner slope of the crater rim.

The uppermost stratum behaves the other way around at the outer crater rim region, since the ejecta is deposited on top of it. Meanwhile, deeper strata thicken due to Reynolds dilatancy. The distal region is slightly compressed for all strata, by the effect of the shock wave that rearranges the grains in the whole cell during the impact.

The state’s emphasis on non-lethal control is saving livestock and wolves, but rural residents are still leery.

In July 2015, some U.S. Air Force personnel were hiking about eight miles up North Fork Chewelah Creek, in northeastern Washington, when they found the chewed-up remains of a cow. They notified the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, which sent out investigators the next day. The investigators found a second carcass nearby and three days later, discovered two more — a cow and a calf. Wolves, they determined, had killed all four animals.

The dead cattle were squarely in the territory of a wolf pack called Dirty Shirt, and local ranchers’ reactions were predictably fierce. “The time for the removal of the Dirty Shirt


supporters live along or to the west of Interstate 5, which passes through Bellingham, Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia — Washington’s more liberal left side. In rural, conservative eastern Washington, where 12 of the state’s 16 wolf packs actually live, people are far more ambivalent. It hasn’t helped that wolves mostly entered the state through prime rangeland — where they were likely to face stiff human resistance — instead of national parks or areas with fewer cattle, as they did in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. And they still have to cross hundreds more miles of agricultural land to reach what biologists consider the best habitat: the south-central Cascade Mountains, where healthy elk herds wander large forests.

This was the main challenge managers and stakeholders faced: keeping wolves alive long enoughBut wolves in Washington’s western two-thirds are still federally protected, and those protections supersede the state’s plan. That’s why, when wolves killed a yearling cow in central Washington this summer, the state could do nothing.

But the state regards killing wolves as a last resort, anyway. Just twice to date, the wildlife department has had wolves shot when they could not be otherwise deterred from attacking livestock, and each time has been politically fraught. In 2012, seven members of the Wedge Pack were shot, amid accusations from wolf advocates that the rancher whose cattle were killed had done nothing at all to prevent it. And in August of 2014, after wolves killed more than two dozen sheep in Stevens County, officials mistakenly shot the breeding female of the Huckleberry


IT became a monster hit, but the road to celluloid success was paved with many miss-steps along the way for Disney’s animated film Frozen.

The most successful animated film of all time has generated $1.3 billion at the box office worldwide launching an entire industry of costumes, toys and even a short film sequel called Frozen Fever that will play before the new Cinderella film in March.

The famous Hans Christian Andersen Snow Queen fairy tale had been on the list of classics to be given the Disney Animation Studios treatment since the 1930s but writers struggled with how to make the main character, often painted as a villain, relatable to mass audiences.

In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Telegraph, producer Roy Conli revealed how Disney found a way tonot to duplicate, or replicate something from the past, the key is to figure out a way to tell the story in a way that is specific to that story.”

Each generation of Disney storytellers brings something new, he points out. But the stories live on, often in many different formats. The Lion King – a much-loved 1994 film – is also one of the world’s most successful stage musicals and opens in Melbourne in early February after successful runs in Sydney and Brisbane.

This year has seen the film release of the Stephen Sondheim musical Into The Woods, starring Anna Hendrick, which mixes several Brothers Grimm fairy tales with the perennial favourite Cinderella due for release locally in March.

in Disney's live-action feature film, out soon.

Australian Cate Blanchett takes the role of the evil stepmother, with Lily James cast in the title role of Cinderella.

Conli was poached by Disney from the theatre more than two decades ago. Like many of us, he also grew up with the Disney read-long recordings – albeit on vinyl, rather than CD.

“But (the CD read-along) is just a continuation of a style of story-telling, which is exciting,” he says.As “YG Treasure Box” gears up for its final mission, its contestants will face a brutal round of eliminations on the show’s next episode.

On January 11, the YG Entertainment survival show released a new preview of its upcoming episode, in which Yang Hyun Suk surprises the trainees by making a startling announcement. The YG Entertainment founder tells the 20 remaining contestants, “Out of the 20 trainees, nine will be eliminated.”

The trainees then learn that only 11 of them will make it to the final round. On the last episode, the 20 contestants split up into four teams of five, and they were told that after going head-to-head in a performance battle, all five members of the winning team would automatically be given the chance to compete in the


final round.

In the new preview, the trainees express their shock as they learn that only three members of the second-place team, two members of the third-place team, and one member of the fourth-place team will also survive to compete in the final round—leaving nine contestants to be eliminated.

The clip then shows Yang Hyun Suk preparing to announce the final survivor of the semifinal round, saying, “You’ve all worked hard.” After the show, the trainees burst into tears as they embrace each other and emotionally say their goodbyes.

The next episode of “YG Treasure Box” will air on January 11 at 10 p.m. KST on Naver’s V Live, and it will also air two hours later at midnight on both YouTube and JTBC2.

Author's note: This piece was meant to be saved as a draft, and posted on 1/4/2014 - but due to a mix-up, it was inadvertently posted today, alas - making it the world's first 2014 1st April opinion piece, as it were. A thousand apologies all round. Please read on, in the traditional 1st April spirit, so to speak:

Ukrainian presidential candidate, Mr. Petro Poroshenko, the billionaire chocolate king of Ukraine, who is tipped to win the upcoming 25th May, 2014, presidential election in Ukraine, is apparently planning to collaborate with Monsanto to produce GM frost-resistant cocoa beans in Ukraine.

Apparently Mr. Poroshenko, whose company Roshen, is Ukraine's biggest chocolate manufacturer, believes that he will be able to do so within two years. And his ambition isand expand its infrastructure. And in a public lecture a few days ago, a leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Bawumia, also outlined a raft of measures that he says ought to be taken to arrest the fall of the Ghana cedi and improve the national economy.

The extraordinary thing is that virtually all the members of our nation's political class know the perfect solution to our nation's economic challenges - yet it has never once been mentioned by any of them in public: Ghana sits atop of oil and gas deposits worth some US$160 billions - enough money to guarantee living standards for all of Ghana's citizens, akin to that enjoyed by the citizens of oil-rich nations such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the

The NBSSI, the Building Research Institute (BRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Rural Enterprises Project (REP) could seek funding from the African Development Bank, the CFC and the FAO, to collaborate with Dr. Jan van Dam's WageningenUR team, to replicate their Philippines coir-based ecoboards project in the western, central and eastern regions of Ghana.

Coir fibre-based ecoboards are strong and binderless - a perfect high-quality green substitute, for wood-based boards, forworth some U.S.$160 billions. They had better watch out - Solomon Kwawukume's book ("Ghana's Oil and Gas Discoveries: Towards Maximum Benefits") is reaching many of the younger generations: and they feel scandalised to learn that their ruling elites foolishly agreed to give away their birthright in opaque transactions, without consulting the people of Ghana.

For the past three years, I have followed a court case, in which a woman who nearly died after ingesting a world-famous soft drink, is suing the local franchise-holders of an iconic American corporate brand, in an Accra High Court.

One hopes that those media houses in Ghana that usually back wealthy wrongdoers in the Ghanaian business world's pharmaceutical sector, when industry regulators sanction such wrongdoers, will read this eye-opening article, and turn over a new leaf - by resolving that, going forward, they will thoroughly investigate all allegations of non-compliance with pharmaceutical industry regulations, made by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), against players in the industry.

Most of the pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in Ghana are reputable and ethical companies that strive to maintain the highest standards. However, there are a number of such companies, which cut corners and collude with dishonest overseas pharmaceutical manufacturers, to import fake and untested drugs into Ghana.

When such unethical practices come to the notice of the FDA, and the regulator moves toof British colonial occupation of its territory, on March 6, 1957, Ghana still remains a beacon of hope in Africa.

A peaceful and thriving multi-party democracy, with a vibrant and vociferous media, Ghana's pluralistic society is unique in Africa. It has evolved into a cultural melting-pot, in which virtually every extended family clan, in the land, is made up of a mix of family members from different tribes, who are united by marriage and blood ties.

A mostly-tolerant and welcoming people, Ghanaians live in an aspirational society that sets great store by material success. It is this widespread desire to be successful that makes Ghanaians pull back from anything that will tip their nation over the precipice, whenever a political crisis occurs. It has kept Ghana politically stable - despite


Use of shift gradient in the second dimension to improve the separation space in comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography.
Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC × LC) has received much attention because it offers much higher peak capacities than separation in a single dimension. The advantageous peak capacity makes it attractive for the separation of complex samples. Various gradient methods have been used in LC × LC systems. The use of continuous shift gradient is advantageous because it combines the peak compression effect of full gradient mode and the tailed gradient program in parallel gradient mode. Here, a comparison of LC × LC analysis of Chinese herbal medicine with full gradient mode and shift gradient mode in the second dimension was performed. A correlation between the first and second dimensions wasin a cubicle, not knowing what in the hell I was doing in Southern California.

Axed Jackson Hastings finds new home

13th Jul 2018 10:15 AM

ENGLISH club Salford has signed Jackson Hastings, initially for the rest of the season, in a bid to retain its Super League status.

The Red Devils have bolstered their injury-hit squad with the capture of the 22-year-old following his release by the Manly.

Hastings has spent most of the season playing in the NRL's second-tier competition after a reported falling-out with some senior Sea Eagles players.

Salford director of rugby Ian Blease said former owner Marwan Koukash helped finance the deal for Hastings, who was waiting for final visa clearance before linking with the club ahead of the Super 8s.

"A huge amount of hard work behind the scenes has


A defensive end who figures to make things miserable for college quarterbacks, and a quarterback who could do the same thing to college defenses, are the headliners on the 31st edition of the Press-Telegram s Best in the West football team.

Everson Griffen, that dominating defender from the Phoenix suburb of Avondale, came very close to getting a perfect point total finishing with 207 out of a possible 210 and was designated the top college prospect in the Western class of high school seniors.

Griffen, in a poll of seven high school recruiting analysts, heads a 20-player BIW first team that includes as many as 11 others who could sign national letters of intent with the Trojans on Feb. 7, the first day of the NCAA s football signing period.

Finishingdirectly behind Griffen was that quarterback, Jimmy Clausen, who led Westlake Village Oaks Christian High to four consecutive CIF Southern Section titles.

Clausen, who collected 201 points and received two of the three top spots on the ballots that weren t given to Griffen, graduated from Oaks Christian in December and is already enrolled at Notre Dame.

Getting the third No. 1 vote and finishing third in the balloting, with 197 points, was Anaheim Servite linebacker-deluxe Chris Galippo.

Galippo didn t waste any time deciding that he, like Griffen and, apparently, so many other BIW members, wanted to be a Trojan: He committed to USC coach Pete Carroll on the first day 2006 seniors could sign letters of intent, although he couldn t sign until a year later.

Rounding out the top


five finishers were the best running back in the West and maybe the nation, as well in Marc Tyler, one of three Oaks Christian players (along with Clausen and defensive back Marshall Jones, No. 10 in the balloting) selected to the first team, along with one of the country s best cornerback prospects, Donovan Warren of Long Beach Poly.

As is the idea, the seven members of the BIW selection panel sprinkled their ballots with the very best prospects in the West most of which are also highly regarded nationally.

Each member voted for 30 players, 1 through 30, with 30 points awarded for a No. 1 spot with values decreasing to a single point for the 30th spot on a ballot.

Joining the aforementioned top five finishers, and Jones, were:

Twoof the top 10 offensive line prospects in the national class of 2007, Kris O Dowd (Tucson Salpointe Catholic) and Ryan Miller (Littleton, Colo., Columbine).

O Dowd plans to play center for USC while Miller, a tackle, is expected to sign with the University of Colorado.

Price (Los Angeles Crenshaw) looks to be UCLA s top recruit on Feb. 7. Harris (Gardena Serra) is another future Trojan while Wade (Portland Central Catholic) committed to the University of Oregon last spring.

Two players who trail only Griffen in their ability to rush passers, Kenny Rowe and Akeem Ayers.

Rowe, a teammate of Warren s at Long Beach Poly, had 31 sacks in three seasons with the Jackrabbits. He committed to Oregon last weekend.

Ayers, who is from L.A. Verbum Dei and led his team


to a CIF Southern Section title in December, plans to sign with UCLA.

Two players from the Orange Lutheran team that won the strongest of the CIF Southern Section divisions (Pac-5), Aaron Corp and Michael Reardon.

Corp, a USC-bound quarterback, was ninth in the balloting and was also the Pac-5 Offensive Player of the Year.

Reardon (11th in the voting) is a two-way lineman who is expected to get his first shot at USC on offense.

The best prospect in Northern California, Richmond Salesian running back Jahvid Best, is expected to sign with Cal, where he could play a lot next season with the departure to the NFL of Marshawn Lynch.

The brother of a former BIW selection, Steve Smith of USC, Malcolm Smith, a star linebacker and running back at Woodland HillsTaft.

He committed to USC Friday.

Two other future USC players are Huntington Beach Edison offensive lineman Martin Coleman and Milpitas quarterback Brandon Carswell, who is expected to play wide receiver for USC.

Grabbing the 20th and final spot on the first team was the West s best tight end prospect and the No. 1 player in Washington, Chris Izbicki of Kirkland Lake Washington.


fighting on its behalf in a nearly two-year war against Iranian-supported Houthi rebels.

Al Qaeda is seizing on the failed raid as a PR coup, releasing a recording from its leader Qassim al-Rimi this week that openly mocks the U.S. president.

But the Trump administration has been steadfast in characterizing the Jan. 29 strike in Al Bayda Governorate as a success, despite the civilian death toll and the critical analysis. The military says the operation, in which a U.S. aircraft crashed and had to be destroyed, resulted in the deaths of at least 14 al Qaeda militants, including a leader, and potentially valuable intelligence.

“A political blow and PR disaster for the Trump administration.”

But Sen. John McCain, chair of the Armed Services Committee, wasn’t convinced by the White House’s proclamations. Instead,of the country, including the capital, Sana’a. The conflict, effectively a proxy war between the regional arch-rivals of Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shia Iran, has cost 16,000 lives, including at least 10,000 civilians, and sparked a humanitarian crisis in the Arab world’s poorest country.

Roggio said that while the U.S. has occasionally struck Houthi targets, typically in response to the rebels’ actions, it had generally limited its involvement in the Houthi conflict, while aggressively targeting al Qaeda.

Hassan said that the U.S. was seen as reluctant to provide full support for the Saudi-led coalition, which many hoped would speed up the fight against the Houthis, and allow for precision targeting and the reduction of civilian casualties.

“In this sense, the raid is seen as the U.S. not doing enough against the

The team organized interviews with six North Korean citizens visiting the two cities.

They told Daily NK with one voice that they have been suffering considerably since the death of Kim Jong Il; in particular, this has been due to trade and internal travel controls, something which makes sense given that the majority of the interviewees were either private traders or workers dispatched by trade enterprises

History Makes Demands

Among the many gifts received from my father is the fruit of
his deliberate effort to make me a student of history beginning in my early
childhood. Just before my 7th birthday he planned a family
vacation in Washington, DC. My sister was just 5 years old. We flew to D.C.,
stayed in a hotel on Embassy Row, saw every monument and historic site in and
around the city and we walked, and walked, and walked. It is amazing how much
of that trip I remember in detail – the Declaration of Independence under
glass, the very cramped box at Ford’s Theater in which Lincoln was assassinated,
the awesomenessher opponent as well as the cranked up scrutiny to which all women aspiring to
positions of power are subjected in our society. It still seems that men can get away with
almost anything but women are dissected under a microscope. Free for discussion is
the tone of her voice, color of her hair, practices as a mother, choices made
in a long and at times troubled marriage, as well as her attire. And then there
are the complaints about emotional reticence. Wonder how all the former male
presidents would score if subjected to this contest?

It troubles me that it seems easy to ignore a life-long
dedication to service, persistent effort consistently applied, creation of a huge tool
box of experience acquired as attorney, First Lady, senator, and Secretary of
State. Her curriculum vitae should be envied


and valued; particularly so in the
troubled, on the verge of self-destruction, world in which we live.

We know virtually nothing about Donald Trump’s financial holdings
and machinations. We have not been told how he will separate himself from the
ongoing management of his business interests if elected. He has thoroughly
revealed himself to be a non-reader. He has no record of public service as a
volunteer, philanthropist, or elected official. He is a one-man show,
surrounding himself with people he thinks he can trust. These are largely
family members who we might consider tied to him only because they know on which
side their bread is buttered. In the first presidential debate he unabashedly admitted that he uses every loophole in in the law favoring the wealthy to reduce his taxes and cheat those to whomhe owes money.

History has reveal that the elections of such
leaders can destroy democracies and countries as well as unleashing of terrible
hardship, suffering, death and even genocide. Check out any documentary account
of the time of Hitler and the Third Reich for affirmation of this assertion.

So get out there and vote. Urge family members and
co-workers to vote. And, by all means, even where a vote has never been cast
for the Democratic candidate, cast your vote this year for Senator Hillary
Rodham Clinton. Too much is at stake. The study of history reveals this
necessity.

Today marks the first celebration of the feast day of Blessed Maria Celeste Crostarosa, foundress of the Order of the Most Holy Redeemer, the Redemptoristine contemplative nuns. This otherwise obscure 18th century native of Naples, Italy


is being honored today all over the world in the monasteries of the order she began in 1731.

It was not until my pastor began his homily at Mass this morning that I thought about the coincidence of Maria Celeste's feast and the memorial of the tragedy of 9/11, the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001. For Americans, at least, this significant day will always merge remembering her with remembrance of an horrific event, lost lives, and sorrowing survivors. Our fine priest focused on the question, "Where was God in all of this?" He emphasized God's presence in the generosity, bravery, service, community, cooperation and all good things and people we witnessed on thatplot unveils the frustrating childhood, desperate attempts to succeed, ministry and the breakdown of the first marriage of the Archbishop.

Part One

Divination is one of man's oldest spiritual technologies, its origins lost in the shift from neolithic hunter-gatherers to settled agriculturalists. As the shaman developed into the priest, divination, along with all forms of spiritism, became codified into mythology. From a framework of mythic events and divination - literally readings of the divine - came language, which evolved over time into written forms based on the original symbolic elements. In turn, these symbolic elements became the focus of divinatory practices of their own, creating sub-sets of meaning within common words and phrases. From this intentional ambiguity arose the possibility of an initiate's language, a language of the birds, or, as it was expressed by the medieval initiates, the Green Language. Although


we can point to the Green Language in works as diverse as Midsummer Night's Dream and The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosencruz, Nostradamus' quatrains, 18th century alchemical texts and surrealist manifestos, few authors have bothered to explain it. One who did was Fulcanelli, the enigmatic 20th century alchemist and philosopher, in his masterpiece The Mystery of the Cathedrals , published in Paris in 1926.[1] Here we have an authentic, although mysterious, voice of authority; one that was both master of the Green Language itself, and a master of the subjects usually hidden within it. Fulcanelli's main point, the key to unraveling the larger mystery of alchemy and the cathedrals, lies in an understanding of what he calls the "phonetic law" of the "spoken cabala," or the "Language ofby both Jesus and the ancients. It is also mentioned in the Sufi text, entitled "The Conference of the Birds," by Attar the Chemist. In de Tassey's French translation of this work, which Fulcanelli references, the "conference" of the title is translated as "language." De Tassey goes on to explain the complex linguistic metaphor beneath the simple fable. Fulcanelli uses the same method to decode the alchemical meaning of the cathedrals. Fulcanelli also claims that Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel is "a novel in cant," that is, written in the secret language. Offhandedly, he throws in Tiresias, the Greek seer who revealed to mortals the secrets of Olympus. Tiresias was taught the language of the birds by Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Just as casually, Fulcanelli mentions the similarity


between gothic and goetic, suggesting that gothic art is a magic art. Emphasizing the phonetic connection to argot, cant or slang, Fulcanelli then links it to the Argonauts, of the quest for the Golden Fleece, by insisting that the crew of the Argo spoke the Green Language as it sailed "towards the felicitous shores of Colchos." He suggests that the language of this quest is the foundation of all initiation - "All Initiates expressed themselves in cant." In the same sentence he links this idea with the Court of Miracles of the troubadour poet Villon and the artists who built the cathedrals, implying that these groups were somehow the same nautes, or sailors, as the Argonauts.[2]

By any standard of comparison, this is an unusual collection of allusions andtwo but it took the practical mysticism of a working physician to elaborate the essential question: "Is there only one spirit whose manifestation (= information) must of necessity find its expression in the 64 words of the genetic code on one hand and the 64 possible states and developments of the I Ching on the other?"[10] Soon after Dr. Schonberger's article was published, Fritz Albert Popp began his groundbreaking work on bio-photon emission and communication by the DNA. As soon as Dr. Schonberger learned of Dr. Popp's early work, he wrote to him and asked his opinion. "Since information and matter cross in the genetic code, it may be expected that evolution has selected the most favorable, i.e. the surest, and at the same time most economical, principle,"


civilization appeared. A few thousand years later, around 3,000 BCE, a sort of proto-culture developed in the upper Yangtse valley. Like so many of the proto-cultures which formed around the planet within a few hundreds years of that date, the ancient Chinese culture centered on an Immortal.[13] At the dawn of time, Fu Hsi, the primordial culture-bringer who invented the calendar, writing and the organization of society and whose name literally means Embodied Wisdom, tried to explain the workings of I, a word usually translated as "change." To do this, we are told in the Great Commentary supposedly written by Confucius, he "observed the phenomena of the heavens and gazed down to observe the contours of the earth." He also observed his own internal processes and their reflectionsin nature and then "went beyond this to take ideas from other things. Thus he invented the eight trigrams in order to comprehend the virtues of spiritual beings and represent the conditions of all things of creation."[14] In one version of the legend, Fu Hsi sees the eight trigrams, or primal groupings of broken and unbroken lines, on the back of a turtle, which gives us a clue as to how the oracle was originally practiced. The eight trigrams describe the major concepts of the ancient Chinese eco-philosophy which all refer back to the central image of the I, or, as an early Chou author defined it, "Change: that is the unchangeable." The word began as a pictogram of the cosmic lizard or dragon, and meant the "fixed,"


or the "straight," in the sense of the cosmic and unchanging axis of the universe. Applied to the idea of "time," the world axis came to denote "change" in order to describe the perceived evolution of patterns and rhythms.[15] These patterns were conceived as the cold dark yielding forces of Yin and the hot bright expansive forces of Yang, both of which are but fluctuations in the Chi. These fluctuations give rise to the five elements - metal, wood, water, fire and earth - whose interactions in turn produce all things. These eight concepts are symbolized by the eight primal trigrams: the trigrams Heaven and Earth represent Yang and Yin, while the trigram Thunder represents the Chi. The other five, - Lake, Fire, Wind, Water and Mountain -convey the essence of the five elements, metal, fire, wood, water and earth. Fu Hsi's realization of the eight trigrams produces first of all a gnomic or geometric view of the universe's expansion, from first cause to the reality event horizon symbolized by the 64 hexagrams. The One becomes two, Yin and Yang, which in turn produces four, the directions, then eight, the trigrams, and then on to 64, the hexagrams. This was thought of as the primal linear order, of both the trigrams and their resulting hexagrams. This can also be seen as the primal binary matrix, a sort of master set of off/on switches by which life unfolds through time by means of change.[16] The number 64 is unusual in several ways. There are 64 codons,


the primal linear order seems to represent some basic structure of life itself. Fu Hsi, the Embodied Wisdom, seems to have been telling us that the wisdom is also encoded within all of us. Indeed, the archaic pictogram for the oracle resembles nothing so much as a way to align the I, or cosmic center, with the unfolded spirals of DNA derived life. However, as the text attributed to Confucius noted, Fu Hsi went beyond the code of life. He also gave us a way to understand how our DNA fits within the larger patterns of celestial alignments and temporal development. The logical way to turn the linear, binary order of the trigrams into a circular pattern is to match pairs of opposites. This produces the primal orcelestial arrangement, which represents the larger patterns of time and change. We can in fact align this primal pattern to the four corners of the universe, the so-called galactic solstices and equinoxes, and thereby derive the quality of time for each trigram's age or era. The trigrams used to mark these large periods of time, the slow changes of the ages, can also be arranged to show the yearly cycle of natural and ecological change. This temporal arrangement begins in the spring with the appearance of the Chi trigram, Thunder, and then proceeds to develop the Chi through the year to perfection in the late winter, earth trigram Mountain, or Keeping Still, from which the Chi re-emerges in the spring. Therefore Fu Hsi's revelation provides us with a


basic structure developed in pre-history. Confucius, in his Great Commentary, credited the pre-historic Three August Ones and the Five August Emperors with ordering the world according to its precepts. From the Chou Li, or Book of Chou Rites dating from around 1000 BCE, we learn that the Book of the I was only one of three prophetic or divinatory books known to the ancient Chinese. The Li Chi, one of the Five Classics, informs us that turtle shells were in common usage in divination using a system derived from Fu Hsi's trigrams. All that we can really know of its origins is that by the 12th century BCE, the oracle had taken its basic form of 64 binary hexagrams.[19] Apparently, up to this point, no recognized interpretations ofthe patterns existed. Each practitioner was free to interpret the patterns of the hexagrams in their own way. However, around the middle of the 12th century BCE, the late Shang dynasty deposed and imprisoned one of their dependents, King Wen. While in prison, King Wen turned his attention to writing descriptions, or judgments, on the 64 hexagrams. By careful use of the ideas revealed in his study, King Wen was able to affect his release and the re-instatement of his kingdom. Perhaps for this reason, his judgments have ever since been seen as definitive. King Wen passed his knowledge on to his son, Tan, the Prince of Chou, founder of the Chou dynasty that eventually overthrew the Shang. The Prince of Chou is credited with having passed on


the now or the everchanging present. This discovery animated the larger structures described by Fu Hsi's trigrams so that time or change was rendered interactive. King Wen's arrangement became the standard sequence used in most versions of the I Ching , and for millennia was the preferred way to consult the oracle. It survived because it worked. Through the King Wen arrangement, it was possible to have a dialogue with this ancient source of wisdom. How this actually worked was a mystery until recently. Carl Jung's study of the I Ching led to his theory of synchronicity as an acausal connecting principle, but he was unable to see how the flow of archetypes formed meaningful structures in an acausal manner. Synchronicity could be defined as a psychological event,the projection of meaning onto a background of randomness, but Jung left unanswered the question of meaning itself. Does this temporal universe inhabited by biological entities truly have a "meaning?"[21] Perhaps not a meaning, but at least a "destiny." One of the commentaries on the I Ching attributed to Confucius tells us that "the future likewise develops in accordance with the fixed laws, according to calculable numbers. . . This is the thought on which the Book of Changes is based." Another even older commentary informs us that "counting that which is going into the past depends on the forward movement. Knowing that which is to come depends on the backward movement. This is why the Book of Changes has backward moving numbers." Clearly the early commentators and


sunrise in 2012 matched the requirements. It would certainly be an event of cosmological significance that could serve as a symbol of the concrescence itself. The McKennas found that this date also matched the wave form derived from King Wen's arrangement with historical events. The end of World War II and the atomic bomb, for instance, fell on 1945, the year of the last division, the beginning of the last 67 + years of biological and galactic evolution which completes the vast hexagram of time which began 72.25 billion years ago. All of the information, "novelty" as the McKennas called it, that was generated in the course of the previous billions of years from the formation of the earth to the present is compressed and recapitulated in theliving in a moment of rapidly accelerating time.

Interestingly enough, the Taoist alchemists of the Sung Dynasty (960 - 1127 CE) seemed to understand the concept of alchemical time and the transformative process at the heart of King Wen's arrangement. In a curious mandala entitled "The Cauldron, Furnace, Medicines and Firing Process," the King Wen sequence is used to describe the alchemical process. "The science of the gold pill (alchemy)," as Liu I-ming, the foremost Taoist scholar of the 19th century, tells us in his commentary on the mandala, "has the Heaven and the Earth for its cauldron and furnace, Water and Fire for its medicinal ingredients; the other sixty hexagrams, beginning with Difficulty and Darkness, are the firing process. . . The science of the gold


According to the gnostic myth, at the creation of the world the spirit of Light was imprisoned by the powers of Darkness. This light, the essence of God, was trapped in human bodies as separate sparks of light, our souls. The gnostic sects held that the goal of their knowledge was the path of return, or the ability of the individual sparks to return to the original Light through the process of redemption. According to the Gnostics, this world, and its history, are the works of the evil Demiurge. This is the false god, or the evil one, who built this world as a trap for souls, or the light. As each soul is redeemed, it travels back to the shattered source of the divine Light. The soulStrength and Beauty) is repeated by the third and last triangle, Netzach, Hod and Yesod (Victory, Splendor and Foundation). The whole pattern is then resolved by, and enfolded into, the last sephiroth, Malkuth (Kingdom). Each of these triangular patterns represents one of the realms or levels of abstraction. The repetition of the pattern also creates three columns or pillars on the Tree. Facing the Tree, the three columns are Mercy, Transformation (note this column connects Malkuth with Kether, heaven to earth), and Severity. These repetitions of three can also be seen as the three persons of the trinity, the law of threes, or thesis, antithesis and synthesis to the modern philosopher. They can also be seen as the triplet code at the heart of transfer RNA, which creates


or constructed. Even the 23 chromosomes that each individual passes on in reproduction can be seen as the 22 paths of the Tree, with the addition of the Malkuth, or earth element, that creates both gender and individuality. In essence, the Kabbalah and the Tree Of Life are elegant and symbolic ways to express the patterns found in the DNA. It is therefore no wonder that it was thought capable of bestowing life on inanimate clay as in the Golem legends. Understanding of this combination of mythic mathematics and DNA geometry almost disappeared with fall of the ancient world. It survived in fragments, and in the quotations of the ancients, until an almost unknown English scholar named William Stirling wrote the first formal explication since Vitruvius in ancientRome. Published anonymously in 1897, his book, entitled The Canon: An Exposition of the Pagan Mystery Perpetuated in the Cabala as the Rule of All Art ,[32] managed, like Fulcanelli's Mystery of the Cathedrals , to become influential in spite of its obscurity. It inspired thinkers as diverse as the psychic archaeologist F. Bligh Bond and the perennial Victorian bad-boy magician Aleister Crowley, who liberally sprinkled his work with swipes from Stirling. According to Keith Critchlow, a geometric philosopher and student of Buckminster Fuller's, "the Canon is based on the objective fact that events and physical changes which are perpetual are never the less completely governed by intrinsic proportions, periodicities and measures." As Critchlow notes, "it is to just such a hidden intrinsic language that the author of


this book (Stirling) has dedicated himself."[33] In his chapter on Rhetoric, one of the liberal arts surrounding Alchemy on the base of Notre-Dame's middle pillar, Stirling gives us a simple description of the Great Tree of Life: "The process of creation may be expressed by inscribing the cabalistic diagram in the upper hemisphere, so that the apex or crown reaches to the Milky Way, while the tenth step will coincide with earth." Stirling's "cabalistic diagram" is the ten-step pattern of unfoldment known to occultists as the Tree of Life, and according to his explication, it is the basic pattern of the Canon itself. He writes: "The doctrine of the Cabala was reduced to a geometric diagram, in which ten steps were grouped according to a progressive scheme, sothat the emanations of the Spirit of the Elohim issues from the first step called the Crown, and after passing through the whole figure is carried through the ninth step, and finally reaches the tenth or last of the series." This cabalistic diagram described by Stirling, the Tree of Life, was first elucidated in the 2nd century Sepher Yetsirah, and pictures reality as the intersection of levels of abstraction, again reminiscent of the intersection of mind and matter, information and structure, that is the DNA code. Stirling tells us that "the ideas which the ancients connected and combined into this figure of ten progressive steps, appears to form the basis of all their philosophy, religion, and art, and in it we have the nearest approach to a direct


revelation of the traditional science, or Gnosis, which was never communicated except by myths and symbols." From this we can see that the framework, the Gnostic pattern, behind the universal language of symbolism, the Language of the Birds and the Green Language, is this great word/world tree of DNA geometry. It is also the Ladder of our western shamanic Gnosis. Part Seven

Since we have been following the Gnostic footprints of the Green Language, let us return to Fulcanelli and his most direct Gnostic symbol, the enigmatic credence of Lallemant Mansion in Bourges described in Mystery of the Cathedrals.[34] An architectural credence is a false door or window. This immediately suggests the Egyptian false door used in tombs and the Islamic mithrab or prayer niche. In Egyptian architecture, theVerse from the Qu'ran - Sura 24, verse 35. To the Sufis, this verse exemplifies the very idea of illumination. Idries Shah called the verse "the essence of Sufism," and goes on to suggests that it "conceals the nature of the cognition of the extra dimensions of the human consciousness which comes beyond the intellect." The mithrab/credence in Lallemant Mansion combines Islamic concepts with the even deeper meaning of a door to the Duat from Egyptian cosmology. It has three layers, as does the Egyptian false door. On the inner surface of the niche is a letter rebus that, as we will see, distils the essence of the Sufi Light Verse. We are also reminded of the Abbot Suger: "Bright is the noble work, this work shining nobly/

Some holidays fall on shifting calendar days for every year, such as Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday in November) and Easter (the first Sunday after the first full moon to occur on or after March 21). Other holidays, such as Valentine’s Day and Halloween, are fixed. No holiday has a more solid calendar date attached to it than New Year’s Day. It has to fall on January 1st because it celebrates the first day of a new year. That only makes sense…

…except that, like most things that at first appear obvious, there is a bit more to the story. The beginning of the year was not always on the first of January. As with an enormous numbers of traditions in thenumber of days in the year to 355. The new month of Ianuarius, named after Ianus (Janus in contemporary spelling), the god of beginnings, would eventually be known in English as January. But when this new calendar was instituted, January was not the first month. March, named after the god of war, remained the first month, and March 1st was New Year’s Day.

This extended calendar still did not keep in synch with the seasons. In 45 BCE, Julius Caesar instituted reforms to align the calendar correctly according to calculations of astronomers, with an additional 10 days distributed across the year. January also became set as the first month, and offerings to the god Janus on this day started the tradition we now know as New Year’s. The date

Labor Day as a federal holiday, held on the first Monday of September, has been with us now for 120 years. President Grover Cleveland signed the law that made Labor Day a national holiday in 1894. Ever since then, the three-day weekend has provided people in the U.S. with the opportunity for vacations, time with their families, shopping trips, and a general celebration of the conclusion of summer and the beginning of fall.

However, there were twelve years of Labor Day observations in the U.S. before it became an official holiday. The first Labor Day celebration took place in 1882 in New York City on September 5. AccordingMaguire of the Central Labor Union—one of the two men who first proposed the celebration—ran across the City Hall lawn to the Grand Marshal of the parade, William McCabe, to inform him that 200 men from the Jeweler’s Union of Newark were crossing the ferry to Manhattan… and they had a band!

At 10 a.m., only an hour late, the band from Newark walked down Broadway playing a number from a popular Gilbert and Sullivan opera. They passed McCabe and the other 700 marchers, who then fell in line behind them. Soon, the spectators joined in, and an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 people marched through Lower Manhattan.

According to the New York Times, “The windows and roofs and even the lamp posts and awning frames were occupied by persons anxious


colonies.

How substantial is the difference in time for the U.S.A. and the rest of the world? U.S. Independence Day celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1776, making our country unusual in that almost no existing nations celebrate an independence event from the eighteenth century.

In terms of age, there is only a tiny handful current countries that celebrate an independence day that occurred earlier than the United States. Switzerland celebrates its independence from the Holy Roman Empire of the Germans in 1291 with “Swiss National Day,” held every August 1—although this only gained status as a national holiday in 1994. Sweden Celebrates “National Day of Sweden” to commemorate events in 1523 and the election of King Gustav I during theWar of Liberation against Christian II of Denmark and Norway. Romania comes almost a hundred years after U.S. Independence, with its 1877 freedom from Turkish rule.

The most recent Independence Days to come into existence are for Montenegro, which gained independence from Serbia in 2006 and celebrates the day on May 21, and South Sudan, which gained independence from Sudan in 2011 and celebrates the day only a day after the U.S., on July 5.

Does anyone else celebrate a literal “Fourth of July,” an Independence Day that also falls on the fourth day of the seventh month? Yes: Abkhazia, a small Central Asian country that declared its independence from the Republic of Georgia in 1999 (although not all countries recognize it). Coming a day (like South Sudan) on July


periods of day and night are the same length. During the solstices, which occur at the start of summer (June solstice) and winter (winter solstice), either day or night is at its longest period. June solstice is the longest day of the year; winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year.

Occurring on the 20th or the 21st of the month (this year it falls on the 21st), winter solstice marks the official beginning of winter, but also the point at which the days start to grow longer once more. The sun, which has dropped lower in the sky since the June solstice (June 20-21) and reaches its lowest point above the horizon on noon on winter solstice, once again begins to rise.

From the earliest human prehistory, peoplehave recognized the winter solstice as an important event in their lives. When winter survival was difficult for early human societies, the sight of the sun beginning to rise in the sky once more was a symbol of hope and a reason to celebrate.

(All of the above applies to the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. The equinoxes and solstices flip in the Southern Hemisphere. For example, in Australia, Christmas is a summer holiday.)

However you commemorate and observe this time of year, we hope you and your family have a joyful and safe season!

Thanksgiving began in 1621, but didn’t become a national holiday until 1863, when Abraham Lincoln declared it in hopes of bringing a divided nation together. We have many Thanksgiving traditions in this country, from turkey at the


Turkey Federation became the official supplier of the President’s Thanksgiving birds. The White House arranged for an annual photo op that year with the President receiving the turkey in the Rose Garden. Sadly, there was no pardon as yet; those birds all ended up on the Presidential table.

The push for an official pardon picked up steam in 1963, when President Kennedy ask that the bird be spared just a few days before his assassination. President Nixon opted to send each of the birds he received to a nearby petting zoo after the photo op, though there was no formal pardon attached.

But it wasn’t until 1989 that the pardon became official. On November 14 of that year, President George H. W. Bush made the announcement, and sent the birdthe years. On the first Monday of every September, our country celebrates Labor Day as a way of recognizing the hard work that has made this country great. Because making your home more comfortable and convenient is our business, we want you to have an enjoyable and pleasant Labor Day.

Labor Day is a time of good BBQ, the start of the professional and college football seasons, entertainment with family and friends, and, most importantly, taking a day off from work. Labor Day emerges as a federal holiday in the wake of the Pullman Strike of 1894. It was designated as such by President Grover Cleveland and Congress as a way to reconcile the damage done by the faceoff between the Federal government and the Pullman Palace Car Company

Premier League club Arsenal have reportedly signed Lateef Omidiji Jr. The Las Vegas-born 13-year-old joins a club with a strong reputation for developing young players.

Move over, Gedion Zelalem and Christian Pulisic. There’s a new American wonderkid on the block.

According to reports from Nigeria, English Premier League’s Arsenal have signed Lateef OmidijiJr. The 13-year-old versatile forward chose to join the London club despite being wooed by other European powerhouses such as Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, and PSG.

The deal means that Omidiji will spend each summer training with Arsenal’s youth team, according to the AllNigeriaSoccer report. Other news outlets are reporting on the signing too, including NBC Sports and the British press. However, they all reference the Nigerian site as the source of the news.

Currently, he is training with Sparta Rotterdam’s academy in the Netherlands. It’s not a bad place to develop soccer skills. Other players who have come through that academy include Memphis Depay, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Danny Blind.

USMNT or Nigeria?

Born in Las Vegas, Omidiji has been invited to play for the U.S. Men’s National Team at


Iwobi, who already has 33 Premier League and eight European appearances under his belt at the age of 20. Although, U.S. fans will hope that Omidiji does not follow too closely in Iwobi’s footsteps, as he opted to represent Nigeria on the international stage.

Other players who benefited from early starts to their career under Wenger include Cesc Fabregas and Jack Wilshere, who both made their Arsenal debuts when they were 16.

Omidiji can play as a forward or on either wing and has plenty of pace. The video compilation below shows that also clearly has plenty of talent.

Lateef Omidiji Jr. still has a long road to travel. But Arsenal and U.S. fans should keep track of his name as one for the future.

What is the gospel of Christ? “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” In it’s simplest form, the gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Notice that the burial of Christ is right in middle of the gospel.

This morning let’s consider – the particulars, the prophecy, the predicament, and the provision contained inand the linen were used, except to say that the linen was white and cut into strips; then the body was wrapped around and around. Perhaps the cloth was first soaked in a bath including the myrrh and aloes – that seems most logical to me. Whether or not all one hundred pounds soaked into the linen and it was all actually applied to the body, I cannot say, but that was the idea.

John also tells us “in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sephulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.” The other evangelists tell us that this new tomb belonged to Joseph. The only other detail given to us is that when the preparations were concluded and


of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death;clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores … And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise


saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

How important is this gospel of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ? As Paul suggests in I Corinthians 15:1 – it is in this that we stand before the holy God. Sinners like us will never be permitted into Heaven without the sacrificial death of Christ – the shed blood of the Lord Jesus.

After university, he took up a career as a photographer in fashion, design and theatre. As his career as a portraitist began to flourish, he became known for his royal studies, among which were the official portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, and the Duke of Edinburgh for their 1957 tour of Canada.

In the early 1960s, he became the artistic adviser of the Sunday Times magazine, and by the 1970s had established himself as one of Britain's most respected photographers. Though his work includes everything from fashion photography to documentary images of


inner city life and the mentally ill, he is best known for his portraits of world notables (the National Portrait Gallery has more than 100 Snowdon portraits in its collection), many of them published in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The Daily Telegraph magazine. His subjects have included Barbara Cartland, Laurence Olivier, Anthony Blunt and J. R. R. Tolkien. Read Less

196131 Years Old
As he had been without title, he was created Earl of Snowdon and Viscount Linley of Nymans in the County of Sussex on 6 October 1961 due to concerns over the prospect of a British princess

The Snowdon title has centuries-old royal associations, since the name Snowdon was borne by the Welsh princes and the House of Gwynedd before 1282, though here it was granted as a nod to Armstrong-Jones's Welsh ancestry. A Barony of Snowdon (sometimes spelled Snaudon) was a subsidiary title of King George II's son Frederick, Prince of Wales. The subsidiary Linley title honoured Lord Snowdon's great-grandfather Linley Sambourne as well as Nymans, the Messel family estate in West Sussex. David, Viscount Linley, was born 3 November 1961, and a second child, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, on 1 May 1964.

 The marriage began to collapse very early and publicly. Various causes may have lain behind the failure. In 1953 Margaret hadbeen dissuaded from accepting the proposal of Group Captain Peter Townsend. On her side there was a penchant for late-night partying, on Snowdon's, an undisguised sexual promiscuity. ("If it moves, he'll have it," was the summing up of one close friend). To most of the girls who worked in his Pimlico Road studio, there seemed little doubt that Snowdon was gay or bisexual; to which he himself responded, "I didn't fall in love with boys — but a few men have been in love with me".

Others have pointed out that both Snowdon and Margaret were stars in their own right, and were used to being the centre of attention, leading to clashes over primacy. Margaret was initially surprised that her husband had no intention of giving up his rising photographic career. Because Snowdon travelled around the world to complete assignments, he was often separated from his wife for many weeks.

 Their break-up lasted sixteen years, accompanied by drugs, alcohol, and bizarre behaviour by both parties, such as Snowdon's leaving lists between the pages for her to find, of "things I hate about you". According to biographers SarahBradford and Anne de Courcy, one note read: "You look like a Jewish manicurist and I hate you". When high society palled, Snowdon would escape to a hideaway cottage with his lovers, or on overseas photographic assignments; most people, including the Royal Family, took his side. Among Snowdon's lovers in the late 1960s was Lady Jacqueline Rufus-Isaacs, daughter of the third Marquess of Reading. Read Less


Back in 2003, a small Icelandic video game company called CCP released an MMORPG game called Eve Online. Eve Online is a story about human civilizations in the far future colonizing the planetary solar system of a distant galaxy after the human race depleted all of the natural resources of our home planet. As generations evolved on the new planet system, the human race was divided into five different space faring cultures all competing for control of the new galaxy's resources. It's been ten years since CCP first launched Eve Online and it has become a long standing successful PC game with over 500,000 active players.

On August 18, 2009, CCP first made the announcement that they were developing DUST 514 exclusively for the Playstation 3. DUST 514 isdirectly related to and operates within the Eve Online Universe. The story behind DUST 514 is simple. Gamers playing Eve Online on PC are the pilots controlling customizable star ships throughout the galaxy of star systems in an RPG setting. However, gamers playing DUST 514 on PS3 are ground soldiers battling it out with rival corporate soldiers on the actual planet's surface in a more traditional FPS setting. While Eve players focus on the galactic battles, DUST 514 players focus on the physical ground combat.

The five main corporations are the same throughout both Eve Online and DUST 514. Gamers who choose the same faction in either game will then be able to interact and work together for the common goal of advancing their factions control over the planets
