The strong arches Beyonce sports on the I am...Sasha Fierce album cover are emblematic of Robert's aesthetic—over-plucking is clearly not in his lexicon. The LA-based Roberts, whose clients also include Cameron Diaz and America Ferrara (even Britney Spears is using his products on her current tour) opened a Fifth Avenue location last year and flies into NYC every five weeks or so.
And where else is the bathroom decorated with celebrity autographs, including Beyonce's above—ahem—the throne?

A South African antitrust regulator said it found that more than a dozen foreign and local banks colluded to manipulate foreign-exchange trades and recommended some of them be fined 10 percent of their annual turnover.
The Competition Commission of South Africa identified lenders, including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase & Co, BNP Paribas SA, Credit Suisse Group AG, HSBC Holdings PLC and Nomura Holdings Inc, as having participated in price fixing and market allocation in the trading of foreign currency pairs involving the rand since at least 2007.
It referred the case to an antitrust tribunal, concluding an investigation that began in 2015.
"The respondents manipulated the price of bids and offers through agreements to refrain from trading and creating fictitious bids and offers at particular times," the Pretoria-based commission said in an e-mailed statement on Wednesday. "They assisted each other to reach the desired prices by coordinating trading times. They also created fictitious bids and offers, distorting demand and supply in order to achieve their profit motives."
The outcome of the investigation comes as South African President Jacob Zuma and his governing African National Congress step up pressure to break the dominance of South Africa's largest lenders and improve access to the economy that still alludes many of the country's black majority about 23 years since the end of apartheid.
South Africa's efforts to better regulate foreign-exchange trading follows a price-rigging scandal in which some of the world's largest banks agreed to pay fines and plead guilty to conspiring to manipulate markets after being accused of using online chat rooms to collude.
"We need to establish if it's a rogue trader or if this more widespread," said Patrice Rassou, head of equities at Sanlam Investment Management in Cape Town. "This could result in fines, but the Reserve Bank will ensure that it doesn't cause disruption in our capital markets."
Bank of America, JPMorgan, Standard Chartered PLC, Commerzbank AG, Macquarie Group Ltd, Australia & New Zealand Banking Corp, Standard Bank Group Ltd, HSBC and BNP declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg.
Investec PLC said it would cooperate with authorities, but was unable to comment further because it did not have details of their investigations.
Barclays Africa Group Ltd also said it would cooperate with the authorities, adding that the regulator had not sought penalties against it.
Credit Suisse said it is looking into the matter.
South Africa's central bank said it viewed the allegations as a serious matter and would allow proceedings to run their course.
The tribunal would now notify the banks of the complaint and ask them to respond, bank spokesman Chantelle Benjamin said by telephone.
The banks would then file statements and attend a preliminary meeting to set a date for a full hearing, she said.
The commission has previously uncovered collusion in the country's bread and flour industry, among cement producers and by construction companies that bid to build stadiums for the 2010 soccer World Cup. Those involved were forced to pay hefty fines.
"Collusive practices must lead to consequences, such as termination of the services of key management, executive and non-executive directors," Cape Town-based Aeon Investment Management chief investment officer Asief Mohamed said. "The banks, if guilty, will most likely be fined and will have a negative impact on earnings and reputation. "

The widely-prescribed cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor (generic: rosuvastatin) has been increasingly linked to cases of life-threatening muscle damage, heart injury, and kidney failure. Considering the severity of these potential side effects, the consumer watchdog group Public Citizen has petitioned for Crestor to be recalled nationwide. The group cited too few clinical trials, the potential for numerous adverse complications, and the fact that Crestor has not been shown to lower the number of heart attacks and strokes, while three other similar statins have shown this benefit without the risk.
Crestor Update 3/1/12: The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a press release today informing healthcare professionals of updates to the prescribing information concerning adverse interactions between protease inhibitors and certain statin medications. When these two types of drugs are taken together, they may raise the blood levels of statins and increase the risk of a severe muscle injury known as myopathy.
Crestor Update 2/28/12: The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a press release today stating that it will be requiring all statin drugs to carry a new warning about the increased risk of elevated blood sugar and possible transient memory and cognition problems. The label changes will apply to atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol), lovastatin (Mevacor), lovastatin extended-release (Altoprev), pitavastatin (Livalo), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor), simvastatin (Zocor), and Advicor.
What is Crestor?
Manufactured and marketed by AstraZeneca, Crestor is an FDA-approved statin medication designed to work by blocking the production of cholesterol in the body. Crestor reduces levels of 'bad' cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while simultaneously increasing levels of 'good' cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL). The drug is approved to treat high cholesterol in adults and children who are at least 10 years old. Lowering cholesterol levels can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and vascular disease. In addition to Crestor, other medications in the statin class include Zocor, Vytorin, Lipitor, Simcor, Lescol, Mevacor, Altoprev, Livalo, Pravachol and Simlup.
Side Effects of Crestor
Unfortunately, Crestor and other similar statin drugs have been increasingly linked to a number of serious side effects including:
- cardiomyopathy
- heart attack
- type 2 diabetes
- cardiac death
- kidney failure
- liver damage
- rhabdomyolysis
- diabetes
- death
Crestor & Cardiomyopathy
A 2009 study published in The Lancet found that statin drugs like Crestor have the potential to cause serious heart problems, including a life-threatening disease known as cardiomyopathy. Patients suffering from Crestor-induced cardiomyopathy may experience:
- difficulty breathing
- swelling of the feet or ankles
- rapid heart beat
- other symptoms indicative of heart problems
The authors of the study stated that the results of the research may have been due to a "… reduction in the concentration of coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone, which is known to be caused by statins."
Crestor Kidney Failure
The term 'kidney failure' refers to the sudden loss of the ability of the kidneys to remove waste and concentrate urine without losing electrolytes. Kidney failure can occur from an acute situation, chronic problems, or from high doses of statin medications like Crestor. Signs and symptoms of Crestor-induced kidney failure may include:
- vomiting
- nausea
- weight loss
- nocturnal urination
- more or less frequent urination habits
- itching
- bone damage
- muscle cramps
- abnormal heart rhythms
- muscle paralysis
- swelling of the legs, ankles, feet or hands
- dizziness
- low blood pressure
Crestor & Rhabdomyolysis
Among the most severe side side effects to be associated with Crestor is rhabdomyolysis, a condition characterized by a breakdown of muscle tissue in the body. If left untreated, rhabdomyolysis can cause the release of protein myoglobin into the bloodstream, resulting in acute tubular necrosis, kidney failure, and even death. Signs and symptoms of Crestor-induced rhabdomyolysis may include:
- symptoms of kidney failure, which may include swelling of the hands or feet
- shortness of breath as excess fluid builds up in the lungs
- lethargy
- weakness
- nausea
- lightheadedness
- palpitations due to heart rhythm disturbances
- unexplained bleeding
Crestor Recall
In March 2004, the consumer protection group Public Citizen submitted a petition to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to have Crestor banned nationwide, as the drug had been linked to numerous cases of severe muscle damage and kidney failure only months after its approval. In the petition, Dr. Sidney Wolfe cited the abnormally high number of complications associated with Crestor, as well as the fact that there had been too few clinical trials conducted on the drug prior to its release. The petition also mentioned that two major health insurers and the Swedish government felt Crestor was so dangerous they decided not to reimburse patients for prescriptions of the drug. Although the FDA has still not recalled Crestor, patients injured by the drug's side effects may be eligible to file a lawsuit to obtain compensation for their injuries.

Human trafficking is a human rights violation with significant implications for the physical, sexual, and psychological health of those affected. Because victims of trafficking seek medical attention for acute injuries and illnesses as well as neglected chronic conditions, emergency clinicians are in a unique position to assess, intervene, and refer for assistance. Identification and assessment of victims can be difficult, however, human trafficking can encompass abuse in many different forms including neglect, intimidation, physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse.

DUI accidents cause thousands of deaths in the United States every year. In order to prevent these fatalities from occurring at a frequent rate, many states throughout the nation are making it mandatory for individuals convicted of a DUI to have ignition interlock devices (IID) installed in their vehicles, even if it is their first offense.
According to a study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, researchers discovered that mandatory in-car breathalyzers saved around 915 lives between 2007 and 2013. The research consisted of examining NHTSA data regarding alcohol-related crash deaths in comparison to states with and without mandatory IID laws. In conclusion, states with mandatory IID laws saved the life of one person in every 125,000.
The use of these devices has grown drastically. In 2006, around 100,000 DUI drivers were using IID. Then in 2010, that number increased to 300,000. However, only 30% of drivers convicted of a DUI have to use these devices.
Ignition Interlock Devices in Rhode Island
In Rhode Island, having an IID installed in your vehicle is an option available to not just first-time offenders but also to those who have had second and/or third convictions for DUI. Ignition Interlock Devices are not mandatory for first-time offenders with a BAC under .15%. Although not mandatory, an Ignition Interlock Device can significantly reduce the amount of time a person is without their license.
While not mandatory for RI DUI offenses whose BAC is under .15%, IID are mandatory for first-time DUI offenders whose BAC is above .15%. Further, Ignition Interlock Devices are also mandatory for those who were arrested for their second or third DUI and for those who have refused a breathalyzer test a second or third time.
While an IID seems like another form of punishment, having this device installed in your vehicle can enable your RI DUI attorney to pursue a reduced license suspension and/or a hardship license, allowing you to operate your vehicle for the limited purpose of commuting to work or school.
If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI in Rhode Island, schedule a free consultation with The Law Office of Thomas C. Thomasian today.

Today, I'll post two quilts I made for a friend who had a baby last year. My friend, Kelly, requested that I not use any pastels in the baby quilt.
|Spring Garden Delight Quilt
This quilt is from the Fons and Porter Love of Quilting magazine for May/June 2012. The pattern is titled Spring Garden Delight. I actually think the pattern is intended for it to be a table topper but it's the perfect size for a baby to play on and cuddle up in. I did make some minor changes in fabric layout but nothing major. This was an extremely quick and easy quilt that was done in a matter of a few hours with simple stitch in the ditch quilting. I made this quilt entirely of fabric I had in stash with the exception of the pink pastel, so it was almost a free quilt! The baby plays on this quilt and it's small enough for her to drag around when she starts walking. This is the kind of quilt that is adorable, but you didn't put a hundred hours and hundreds of dollars into so when the baby shreds it over time, it's okay! I personally love it when my quilts get used!

Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
'Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"' So begins the tale of Alice, following a curious White Rabbit down a rabbit-hole and falling into Wonderland. A fantastical place, where nothing is quite as it seems: animals talk, nonsensical characters confuse, Mad Hatter's throw tea parties and the Queen plays croquet. Alice's attempts to find her way home become increasingly bizarre, infuriating and amazing in turn. A beloved classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has continued to delight readers, young and old for over a century.
"If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does."
I wish I had read it as a child. It's full of adventure and such bizarre little scenes that I can definitely see why people consider Alice to be totally mad. I've watched the Disney Alice in Wonderland and the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland and loved them both, so I really don't know why it took me so long to pick this book. I'm so glad that I did though. The writing was simple and flowed beautifully. I loved the little songs and poems throughout - so inventive! The best bit about this edition though was the beautiful little pictures that appeared on every other page. They depicted the scenes nicely and it was really great to see how others saw the various characters in the books. I still had my own version of them though!
"If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison' it is certain to disagree with you sooner or later."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here."
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here."
There are some great messages of wisdom in this book tucked away amongst all of the nonsense. I loved the little letter that Lewis Carroll wrote to the readers of the book at the end. It was brilliant and definitely added something to the book. A really lovely book, I recommend that you all read it :).

An American mystery writer reveals a new character: herself.
Leon (The Golden Egg, 2013, etc.) is the author of the Commissario Guido Brunetti mysteries, set in Venice, where she has lived for more than 30 years. In this new collection, Leon muses about that celebrated city, its inhabitants and visitors, unique landscape, arts, culture and food, and also about men, music, animals—and America, which, she admits, she continues to call "home." Most of the pieces are very short, more like journal entries or blog posts than well-structured essays; at best, their form gives them an easy, conversational quality. At worst, they flit too quickly from thought to thought as Leon reveals her passions—for Baroque opera, for example—and her many strong dislikes. Here, a selective list is in order: fat people, hunters, the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia, self-absorbed American men, the proliferation of the words "like" and "I mean" in American speech, sanctimonious diplomats, the grim players of slot machines, and the hordes of tourists who defile whatever place they visit, causing "far greater harm to the planet than have terrorist bombs." Leon writes warmly about music and animals, offering a charming portrait of the modest and articulate mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, an artist she much admires. A lifelong "dog addict," the author fell in love at first sight with Blitz, a dog trained to sniff out drugs and bombs. The essays grouped under the heading "On Books" are not, as readers might expect, about literature but instead include her experiences with the seduction of email, her astonishment over a physician's powers of observation and her incredulity about the outpouring of grief at Lady Diana's death.
An uneven collection showing Leon to be a cranky, though sometimes witty and insightful, critic of her times.

What is a DTI washer?
A DTI washer is a specialty load indicating washer which contains little arches on the washer surface that flatten when installed to the correct tension.
The ASTM describes as "capable of indicating the achievement of a specified minimum bolt tension in a structural bolt and are intended for installation under either a bolt head or a hardened washer".
How It Works
As a fastener is tightened, the arch-like protrusions are compressed and the change in distance between the base of the DTI washer and the protrusion apex. By inserting a feeler gage in the small gap left by the flattened arches you
can measure the distance between the bolt head and washer. This will therefore verify the tension by comparing the value to manufacturer's instructions.
At Extreme Bolt & Fastener DTI washers are availabe in most of our speciatly alloys and can be produced specifically for the cusotmers desired tension level.
Why is a DTI washer important?
Tension holds a bolt in place. Having the right tension on the bolt is critical to correct installation. If the bolt tension is too tight it can cause the threads strip or the bolt to break – too weak can cause the bolt to loosen and become unstable. Many people try to ensure proper installation by measuring torque, yet the same torque, applied to the same bolts, out of the same box will result in varying tensions. In fact, a brand new bolt will require +/-40% torque to achieve the same tension as another new bolt out of the same box. To get the bolt properly secure, you must have the right tension – not torque!
Difference between Torque and Tension
Torque is simply the effort (force) you apply to turn the bolt in place. When you apply the torque to the bolt, it stretches the threads of the bolt and nut together and pitches the material in between. This "stretch" or elongation of the threads is called tension. It is tension that holds the nut and bolt it in place. Tension is critical in securing a bolt properly.

Updated 01/18/6996 [5774] 6th day of the week [04/18/14]
Scripture is primarily taken from KJV and other translations and edited to remove blasphemous names (Rev. 17:3), words and titles and to give a more Iybriy/Hebrew rooted understanding; edited also because the "Mother of Harlots" has inserted these names to cover up the names of YaHVeH/יהוה and HIS Ben Yahvshua/יהושׁוּע, and to counterfeit a Babylonian Greco-Roman "god", "lord" "Jesus" "Christ"…etc. and promote its demonic idolatrous pagan customs and "holidays" by replacing YaHVeH's Sabbaths (Dan. 7:25).
Page 1
Today, we have as YaHVeH's Word predicted "scoffers" in these "last days" saying where is the promise of His coming. This foretelling/nebuah cannot be more precise in places of employment, among family, friends and Internet chat rooms. The "Many" of Matith`Yah/Matthew 24:5 professing "Christians" use what Yahshua said in Matith`Yah 24:36 to justify their unbelief. I'm going to show you in the scriptures their misunderstanding, error and sin of unbelief.
First let's look at that verse of scripture the "many" of Matith`Yah 24:5 use to deny YaHVeH's Word:
Matith`Yah: 24:36: But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the malakiym of shamayim, but My FATHER only.
You would think just by reading that verse the matter would be settled, but it isn't. When the "many" of Matith`Yah 24:5 quote this verse they are forgetting two critical points in their jump to their conclusion:
1) When Yahshua made that statement in Matith`Yah 24:36 He was still on this earth in the flesh.
2) The "many" forget Revelation 1:1 and it says:
Revelation/Raz Galah/Secrets Revealed: 1:1: The Revelation of Yahshua Mashiyach, which YaHVeH gave to Him, to show to His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His malak to His servant Yahvchanan/Yahn.
Notice in verse 1 of Revelation chapter 1 that it is YaHVeH the FATHER/AB who gives this revelation to Yahshua the Messiyah, and then Yahshua gives it to His malak to give to the Messenger Yahvchanan. So, what this verse reveals is what Yahshua said in Matith`Yah 24:36, only YaHVeH the FATHER knows the day and hour. What Revelation 1:1 tells us now is that Yahshua has ascended to shamayim and is at YaHVeH the FATHER's right hand, and HE the FATHER is revealing to HIS Ben the information HE already knows (Matith`Yah 24:36). YaHVeH through HIS Word exposes these "scoffers" in these "last days", and their own unbelief!
I don't know the hour, but I do know that YaHVeH's Word through guidance of HIS Kodesh Ruach (1 Yahn/Yohn 2:27) the time or season we are in. I know that YaHVeH through HIS foretelling Word (Yahn 1:1; Revelation 19:10) has given us a count down to the return of Yahshua the Mashiyach in the clouds.

The motivation for the subject of this broadcast came when I was in a "Christian" Internet chat room. Someone in the chat room brought up what is the length of time of one generation? One individual in the chat room said it was 40 years, and another said 50 years. They are both wrong. A generation is 20 or 21 years. Let me show you why I know this. If we say 21 years it would be dividable by 7. We need to start with this verse found in Shemoth/Exodus chapter 20 verse 5:
Shemoth/Exodus: 20:5: You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I YaHVeH your Elohiym am a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of the father on the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate ME;
Focus on the phrase "visiting the iniquity of the father on the children to the third and fourth generation." Now combine this with what Daniyel said in Daniel 9:2:
Daniel: 9:2: In the first year of his reign I Daniyel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the Word of YaHVeH came to Yirmiyah the nabiy, that HE would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Yahvshalayim.
It's important to remember the 70-year time frame. Here is what YaHVeH had Yirmiyah write:
Yirmiyah/Jeremiah: 25:12: And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says YaHVeH, for their iniquity, and the land of the Kasdiymah/Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
How does the third and fourth generation in Shemoth chapter 20 verse 5 fit into this 70-year time frame today you might ask? It fits like this:
The 1st generation will be 91 (21) years old, when the seventy years are complete, which started from the 1st Chodesh/Month on YaHVeH's calendar 1948 CE, which I have determined to be 6930 F.C.A, which is six thousand nine hundred and thirty years from the creation of Adam.
The 2nd generation will be 49 (42) years old when the 70 years is complete.
The 3rd generation will be 28 (63) years old when the 70 years is complete.
And the 4th generation will be 7 (70) years old, when the 70 years is complete.

The House of Yudah (Judah) has now been a nation for 66 years (as of 01/01/6996-04/01/14). It's very important for us as believers to understand this crucial fact about the House of Yudah`s nation status. You must remember when Revelation was given to the body of Yahshua the House of Yudah was a nation in Yahshua the Messiyah's and the chosen Messengers day. The book of Revelation was a warning to the body of Yahshua in Yahvshalam in the days of the 12 chosen Messengers, and now after around 1,841 years (from time that Yahshua was impaled 5089 - 6996 FCA) has passed by, The House of Yudah is a nation once again and the warning to the body of Yahshua from the book of Revelation is even more relevant for us today! Some of the "many" of Matith`Yah 24:5 would have you believe that the book of Revelation was only for the assembly of YaHVeH for the 70 CE Roman invasion on Yahvshalam and has all been fulfilled. Others of the "many" (Matith`Yah 24:5) still can't understand it and others would have believers disregard it even being important to read and understand. Most of this is due to the fact that the "many" have rejected the foundation that the body of Yahshua has been built on. It is recorded in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 20:
Ephesians: 2:20: And are built uon the foundation of the Messengers and nabiym, Yahshua Mashiyach Himself being the chief corner stone;
"Many" (Matith`Yah 24:5) try to read Revelation and understand it without even reading and studying the Nabiym/Ancient Foretellers (II Timothy 2:15), which causes them to come up with understanding from their own vain imagination (1 Cor. 14:32). Some of the "many" will even try to read and understand the book of Revelation in a consecutive order as it was written down. Why do they do this? They do this because they continue to reject reading and studying the Nabiym (Yasha`Yah/Isaiah 28:9-10). The "many" are fulfilling what has always happen when YaHVeH sent HIS Nabiym to warn the people (Romans 10:14), they hurt, kill and reject them. Yahshua the Mashiyach said in Matith`Yah chapter 23 verse 37:
Matthew: 23:37: O Yahvshalam, Yahvshalam, you that kill the nabiym, and stone them which are sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gather her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
If you will notice reading Revelation chapter 11 verses 7 and 8 after the two witnesses finish their preaching these two men are murdered. This confirms once again what Yahshua said in Matith`Yah 23:37.
Yes, the "many" are willingly ignorant of YaHVeH's Word and these events that are going to take place in the Promised Land and in Yahvshalam. In 2 Kepha chapter 3 verses 1-5 Kepha says this:
2 Kepha: 3:1: This second epistle, beloved, I now write to you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 Kepha: 3:2: That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the Kadosh prophets, and of the commandment of us the Messengers of the Rabbi and Saviour:
2 Kepha: 3:3: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2 Kepha: 3:4: And saying, where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Page 4
2 Kepha: 3:5: For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the Word of YaHVeH the shamayim were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2 Kepha:3:6: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2 Kepha:3:7: But the shamayim and the earth, which are now, by the same word, are kept in store, reserved for fire against the Day of Judgment and perdition of evil men.
Let me turn your attention back to how I believe YaHVeH determines the length of one generation. One of the people who spoke in the chat room used the forty years of the children of Yisrael wandering in the wilderness as one generation. I know this is incorrect because as I have already pointed out, you can ONLY fit two generations into the 70-year foretold by Yirmiyah (Yirmiyah 25:12). Remember YaHVeH's foretelling Word says to the 3rd and 4th generation (Shemoth 20:5). Also the forty-years of wandering in the wilderness would have wiped out those who were 20 years old and up that murmured against YaHVeH. In B`midbar/Numbers chapter 14 verses 29-34 it is written:
B`midbar: 14:28: Say to them, as truly as I live, says YaHVeH, as you have spoken in MY ears, so will I do to you:
B`midbar: 14:29: Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against ME,
B`midbar: 14:30: Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell in; except for Kaleb the ben of Yeph-un-neh, and Yahshua the ben of Nun.
B`midbar: 14:31: But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land, which you have despised.
B`midbar: 14:32: But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
B`midbar: 14:33: And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
Page 5
This is how I believe YaHVeH's Ruach has taught me to understand verse 34:
B`midbar: 14:34: After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know MY breach of promise.
I believe now that we are in the 3rd heykal/temple period, instead of a day for a year the day is a literal day, so forty years will be literally forty days.
There is no doubt in my mind we are in the time frame YaHVeH has set (T`hiyliym/Psalm 102:13). Seventy years is the end of that count down. This would also fulfill the foretelling in Matith`Yah 24:22 of that time being cut short.
Now I want to turn your attention to the events that took place on 911, 2001. I'm not here to talk about conspiracy theories, I'm here to converse on what the written Word of YaHVeH says about these events and how they relate to our modern time. EL SHADDAI has not left us in the dark on what HE is going to do in these last days or what will happen to the flesh and blood remnant of the children of Yisrael and the members of the Body of Yahshua.
Today you can find it all over the Internet and on talk radio, conspiracy theories of why 911 took place. You even have people which call on YaHVeH's name that have falling into this carnal way of understanding the turbulent times in which we now live. By them doing this they have unwittingly denied YaHVeH`s foretelling Word and what HE said HE was going to do in these latter days, just before the return of HIS Out Stretched Arm and Right Hand Yahshua the Sar of Shalom. They have taken credit away for what YaHVeH says HE will do HIMSELF to punish the children of Yisrael for their disobedience.
Before you can understand on whom this punishment is going to fall in these last days, you need to have a key to understand what the written Word of YaHVeH calls "YOUR people" and "YOUR hidden ones". If you turn to T`hiyliym chapter 83 verse 3 it is written:
T'hiyliym: 83:3: They have taken crafty counsel against YOUR people, and consulted against YOUR hidden ones.
Page 6
There are three things you need to know about this verse:
1) Who are the "they"?
2) Who are "YOUR people"?
3) Who are "YOUR hidden ones"?
We will read a little more in this chapter because it will explain who the "they" are and it opens up a clearer understanding of Revelation chapter 13 concerning the ten horns.
Continuing verses 4-8:
T'hiyliym: 83:4: They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Yisrael be no more in remembrance.
T'hiyliym: 83:5: For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against you:
T'hiyliym: 83:6: The tabernacles of Edom1, and the Yish-ma-eliym/Yishmaelites2; of Moab3, and the Hagriym/Hagarenes4;
T'hiyliym: 83:7: Gebal5, and Ammon6, and Amalek7; the Pel-e-sheth/Philistines8 with the inhabitants of Tsor/Tyre9;
T'hiyliym: 83:8: Ash-shur/Assyria/Iraq10 also is joined with them: they have strengthened the children of Lot. Selah.
So you can clearly see that the "they" in this chapter is talking about old enemies of the children of Yisrael and they are still living in the Middle East. Also notice they are ten nations mentioned here, just as they are ten horns on the beast of Revelation chapter 13. It is no coincidence.
Now I will explain who "YOUR people" and "YOUR hidden ones" are. To understand this you must know what took place anciently after the death of melek Shelomo/Solomon. Turn to 1 Melekiym/Kings Chapter 11. I will not have time to read the entire chapter but will read the most relevant verses so you can gain understanding. Verses 1 and 2:
1 Melekiym:11:1: But melek Shelomo loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Paro/Pharaoh, women of the Moabiy, Ammon, Edom, Zidon, and Chittiy;
1 Melekiym:11:2: Of the nations concerning which YaHVeH said to the children of Yisrael, You shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Shelomo clave to these in love.
Page 7
Pay close attention because of melek Shelomo`s disobedience of worshiping the gods and goddess of the nations surrounding Yisrael, YaHVeH is going to punish the children of Yisrael. Verses 9-13:
1 Melekiym:11:9: And YaHVeH was angry with Shelomo, because his heart was turned from YaHVeH Elohiym of Yisrael, which had appeared to him twice,
1 Melekiym:11:10: And had commanded him concerning this thing that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which YaHVeH commanded.
1 Melekiym:11:11: Wherefore YaHVeH said to Shelomo, Forasmuch as this is done of you, and you have not kept MY covenant and MY statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
1 Melekiym:11:12: Notwithstanding in your days I will not do it for David your father's sake: but I will rip it out of the hand of your ben.
1 Melekiym:11:13: Howbeit I will not rip away the entire kingdom; but will give one tribe to your ben for David MY servant's sake, and for Yahvshalam`s sake which I have chosen.
I'm going to skip to Verses 28-40:
1 Melekiym:11:28: And the man Ya-rob-am was a mighty man of valor: and Shelomo seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Yoseph.
Notice that the House of Yoseph is mention. The reason why is because it is the House of Yoseph that was given the material abundance of the earth. Like the UK and USA have been given in these last days. To whom much is given much is required. Verse 29:
1 Melekiym:11:29: And it came to pass at that time when Yarobam went out of Yahvshalam, that the nabiy Achiyah the Shiy-lo-niy found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:
1 Melekiym:11:30: And Achiyah caught the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces:
Page 8
1 Melekiym:11:31: And he said to Yarobam, Take you ten pieces: for this says YaHVeH, the Elohiym of Yisrael, Observe, I will rip the kingdom out of the hand of Shelomo, and will give ten tribes to you:
1 Melekiym:11:32: (But he shall have one tribe for MY servant David's sake, and for Yahvshalam`s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Yisrael :)
1 Melekiym:11:33: Because that they have forsaken ME, and have worshiped Ashtoreth/Easter the goddess of the Zidon, kem-osh the god of the Moabiy, and Mal-kom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in MY ways, to do that which is right in MY eyes, and to keep MY statutes and MY judgments, as did David his father.
1 Melekiym:11:34: Howbeit I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David MY servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept MY commandments and MY statutes:
1 Melekiym:11:35: But I will take the kingdom out of his ben`s hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
1 Melekiym:11:36: And to his ben will I give one tribe, that David MY servant have a light always before ME in Yahvshalam, the city which I have chosen to put MY name there.
1 Melekiym:11:37: And I will take you, and you will reign according to all that your life desires, and shall be melek over Yisrael.
1 Melekiym:11:38: And it shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in MY ways, and do what is right in MY sight, to keep MY statutes and MY commandments, as David MY servant did; that I will be with you, and build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Yisrael to you.
1 Melekiym:11:39: And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
1 Melekiym:11:40: Shelomo sought therefore to kill Yarobam. And Yarobam arose, and fled into Mitsrayim/Egypt, to Shiy-shak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Shelomo.
Page 9
Of course Yarobam did not obey YaHVeH.
Now you can see where YaHVeH divides Yisrael into two houses. The House of Yahudah and the House of Yisrael, and this is where T`hiyliym/Psalm chapter 83 verse 3 comes in. The House of Yahudah in chapter 83 is called "YOUR people" and the House of Yisrael is called "YOUR hidden ones". The House of Yahudah is the only visible tribe that the world sees. The House of Yisrael is scattered and have lost their national identity. They think themselves to be gentile and are steeped in the "Mother of Harlots"/"Christian" Baal Sun god worship, just as they were anciently. They have not learned their lesson unto this day. Unfortunately it is going to take the "Great Tribulation"/"Ya'akob's Trouble" to weed out and the destroy those who refuse to repent and have political, religious control over Yoseph's material abundance.
In Genesis/B`reshiyth chapter 49 you will find where Ya'akob/Yisrael pronounces what baruakah each tribe will receive. You need to pay close attention to verse 1 at what time these baruakah`s will take effect. Verse 1:
B'reshiyth/Genesis: 49:1: And Ya'akob called to his beniym, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
Did you notice when the patriarch Ya'akob said when these thing would take effect, "in the last days". The "last days" Ya'akob is speaking about is the days just before Yahshua the Mashiyach's return in the clouds. It wasn't until around 6395 FCA/1413 CE that Great Britain becomes and major power in Europe. They are no longer called Great Britain but the United Kingdom now because the sun has already gone down on their Empire. There was a time that the sun never went down on their possession of their enemy`s gates. Remember what the Word of YaHVeH told Abraham in B`reshiyth chapter 22 verses 15-18:
B'reshiyth: 22:15: And the malak of YaHVeH called to Abraham out of shamayim the second time,
B'reshiyth: 22:16: And said, by MYSELF have I sworn, says YaHVeH, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your ben, your only ben:
B'reshiyth: 22:17: That in barak I will barak you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the shamayim, and as the sand which is on the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
B'reshiyth: 22:18: And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be barak; because you have obeyed MY voice.
Page 10
Understand that no matter what the children of Yisrael did, because of Abraham obedience they were and have received the barakah the Word of YaHVeH promised, it's because of favor and nothing else that they have received the material abundance of the earth. This was given to Yoseph and his two beniym. It was passed to Ephrayim/UK and Menashsheh/USA when the patriarch Yisrael adopts Yoseph's two beniym and names his name on them. It is written in B`reshiyth chapter 48:
B`reshiyth: 48:1: And it came to pass after these things, that one told Yoseph, Observe, your father is sick: and he took with him his two beniym, Menashsheh and Ephrayim.
B`reshiyth: 48:2: And one told Ya'akob, and said, Observe, your ben Yoseph comes to you: and Yisrael strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
B`reshiyth: 48:3: And Ya'akob said to Yoseph, EL Shaddai appeared to me at Luz in the land of Ken-a-an/Canaan and barak me,
B`reshiyth: 48:4: And said to me, Observe, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people; and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.
B`reshiyth: 48:5: And now your two beniym, Ephrayim and Menashsheh, which were born to you in the land of Mitsrayim before I came to you into Mitsrayim, are mine; as Reuben and Shim-on, they shall be mine.
B`reshiyth: 48:6: And your issue, which you produce after them, shall be yours, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
B`reshiyth:48:7: And as for me, when I came from Pad-dan, Rachel died by me in the land of Kenaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Eph-rath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Beth-le-chem.
B`reshiyth: 48:8: And Yisrael beheld Yoseph's beniym, and said who are these?
B`reshiyth: 48:9: And Yoseph said to his father, they are my beniym, whom Elohiym has given me in this place. And he said, bring them, I ask you, to me, and I will barak them.
B`reshiyth: 48:10: Now the eyes of Yisrael were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Page 11
B`reshiyth: 48:11: And Yisrael said to Yoseph, I had not thought to see your face: and, lo, Elohiym has showed me also your seed.
B`reshiyth: 48:12: And Yoseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
B`reshiyth: 48:13: And Yoseph took them both, Ephrayim in his right hand toward Yisrael's left hand, and Menashsheh in his left hand toward Yisrael's right hand, and brought them near to him.
B`reshiyth: 48:14: And Yisrael stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephrayim's head, which was the younger, and his left hand on Menashsheh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Menashsheh was the firstborn.
B`reshiyth: 48:15: And he barak Yoseph, and said, Elohiym, before whom my fathers Abraham and Yitschaq did walk, the Elohiym which fed me all my life long to this day,
B`reshiyth:48:16: The Malak which redeemed me from all evil, barak the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Yitschaq; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
B`reshiyth: 48:17: And when Yoseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephrayim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephrayim's head to Menashsheh's head.
B`reshiyth: 48:18: And Yoseph said to his father, not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.
B`reshiyth: 48:19: And his father refused, and said, I know it, my ben, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
B`reshiyth: 48:20: And he barak them that day, saying, in you shall Yisrael barak, saying, Elohiym make us as Ephrayim and as Menashsheh: and he set Ephrayim before Menashsheh.
Page 12
B`reshiyth: 48:21: And Yisrael said to Yoseph, Observe, I die: but Elohiym shall be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
B`reshiyth: 48:22: Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Emoriy/Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
So you see Ephrayim the younger received the firstborn barakah, and truly Great Britain/UK did become a multitude of nations, because it was through them that many British colonies were formed including the USA/Menashsheh. If you do your studying into history you'll see that without a doubt Great Britain held more wealth and power than the USA ever has in these "last days". YaHVeH began to switch the material abundance to the USA sometime during the industrial revolution. Especially after World War II the USA controlled many of its enemy's gates and world economy. It is through this material abundance the world has been barak. Many nations have benefited because of this material wealth of the earth. But remember to whom much is given much is require. That requirement deals with establishing YaHVeH's Law/Torah/Yahshua, statutes and judgments as a nations foundation, and not man made political constitutions of a republic, which Greco-Rome was founded on. Remember the feet of the statue of Daniel chapter 2 verse 45. Read article: UK & USA Shepherd Tribes of Yisrael
B`reshiyth chapter 49 verses 22 -26 is recorded the barakah that Yoseph receives in the "last days":
B`reshiyth:49:22: Yoseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
B`reshiyth:49:23: The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
B`reshiyth: 49:24: But his bow continued in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty of Ya'akob; (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Yisrael:)
Pay close attention to what verse 24 says. In the KJV it has it in parenthesis "from thence is the shepherd the stone of Yisrael". It has been through the shepherd tribes of the House of Yisrael that the children of Yisrael have been lead. In most recent history during World War I when the UK was at war so the USA followed, and again in World War II when the UK was at war the USA followed:
Page 13
B`reshiyth:49:25: By the EL of your father, who shall help you; and by the SHADDAI, who shall barak you with abundance of shamayim above, abundance of the deep that lies under, abundance of the breasts, and of the womb:
B`reshiyth:49:26: The barakah of your father have prevailed above the barakah of my offspring to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Yoseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Do you understand the last part. Yoseph, which was sold into slavery by his own brethren was the very one that saved them during the famine that hit the Middle East in their day. But remember the children of Yisrael did not recognize their own brother, just as the House of Yudah and the scattered tribes today do not recognize the UK and USA in YaHVeH's foretelling Word at this moment in time. It's not a coincidence that the House of Yudah in these "last days" is closely allied with the USA. This is YaHVeH's doing.
Remember the Rabbi Yahshua said "but for the elect`s sake…" that time will be cut short. It is recorded in Matith`Yah chapter 24 verse 22:
Matith`Yah/Matthew:24:22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect`s sake those days shall be shortened.
To understand this you must go to Yechizkiyah/Yek-eez-key-Yah/Ezekiel chapter 4 verses 1-8:
Yechizkiyah:4:1: You also, ben of Adam, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and portray on it the city, even Yahvshalam:
Yechizkiyah:4:2: And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
Yechizkiyah: 4:3: Moreover take to you an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Yisrael.
Remember the Iron represents Rome in Daniel chapter 2, hence the "iron pan".
Yechizkiyah:4:4: Lay you also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Yisrael on it: according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it you shall bear their iniquity.
Yechizkiyah:4:5: For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Yisrael.
Page 14
Anciently it was a day for a year. So the House of Yisrael remained servants to their captors for 390 years. The 390 years actually ended just when the Greco-Macedonian Empire began to dominate the ancient world. But in these "last days" this time is cut short per what our Rabbi said in Matith`Yah chapter 24 verse 22. So now the time becomes literal. A day for a day, the House of Yisrael/UK and USA the shepherd tribes and all the other tribes will follow and be defeated, scattered and without a king for 390 days. Remember the "Great Tribulation" is going to last 1, 260 days. So the last 390 days of the "Great Tribulation" will the House of Yisrael be held captive. Notice the phrase in verse 3 "This shall be a sign to the House of Yisrael". When the House of Yisrael/UK and USA, which are the shepherd tribes see Yahvshalam surrounded and besieged with the armies of the Beast/EU and ten horns /ten Middle East Muslim nations of Revelation chapter 13, this will be their queue for battle/World War III, which will begin the "Great Tribulation"/"Ya'akob's Trouble" .Read article: End Time Scenario
Yechizkiyah:4:6: And when you have accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Yahudah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.
Yechizkiyah:4:7: Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Yahvshalam, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall nebuah/foretell against it.
Yechizkiyah:4:8: And, observe, I will lay bands on you, and you shall not turn from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege.

Anciently from the time that the 1st heykal/temple was destroyed, which was 4403 FCA/586 BCE to 4473 FCA/546 BCE, the House of Yahudah`s captivity ended, which equaled 40 years. It was not until the 69th year of the 70 years that Cyrus and Dareyavesh defeats the Babylonian Empire. When the 70 years was complete which began the 2nd year of Cyrus the foundation of the 2nd heykal was laid. Now here in these "last days" the 3rd heykal will be built and destroyed again. I believe you will begin to see the foundation of the 3rd and final temple built with the hand of man sometime in 6992 FCA/2010 CE (School for training Leviy kohen was built during this time. See video School for training Leviy koheniym ). 6993 FCA begins the last 7 years of the 70 years mentioned by Yirmiyah and Daniel. It is in these last 7 years that YaHVeH will open and blow the 1st threw 6th seals and trumpets. The 5th and 6th seal and trumpets contain the 1st and 2nd Woes. It is in the 5th seal and trumpet that the 1st Woe takes place and the "Great Tribulation" begins. The "Great Tribulation" will end in the 6th seal and 6th trumpet 2nd Woe. It is near the end of this trumpet you will begin to see the shamayim signs of Yahshua's return. The house of Yudah will be defeated and held captive for only 40 days, which will come near the end of the 1,260 days.
It will be in 6997 FCA beginning in the 1st chodesh, which would be into the 3rd or 4th month of 2015 CE that the "Great Tribulation" will begin. We must stay in YaHVeH's time frame when calculating the events ahead that HE has already plotted out in HIS written Word. What this means is that "Ya'akob's Trouble" will begin in the 1st Chodesh of 6997 FCA and last 3.5 years (1,260 days/42 Chodeshiym/3.5 years. No leap year can take place during this time.), which means it ends at the end of the 6th Chodesh of 7000 FCA. When I added the 70 years to 1948 I did not take into account that the Babylonian year always begins 3 to 4 months before YaHVeH's New Year. This means that the 3rd heykal might begin to be built sometime during the "Great Tribulation". This will cause the 5th threw 6th seals and trumpets to be opened and blown and will last 3.5 years, which will end in 7000 FCA/2018 CE; and sometime near the end of the 6th Chodesh. This all hinges on IF the 70 year time frame of when the House of Yudah became nation is correct.

To those who promote conspiracy theories who count themselves as members of the Body of Yahshua, I ask you in the name of our Rabbi Yahshua to stop. By doing so you take away from what YaHVeH said HE was going to do. This is what YaHVeH said. It is written in Dabariym chapter 28 verses 15 threw 19:
Dabariym:28:15: But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the Voice of YaHVeH your Elohiym, to observe to do all HIS commandments and HIS statutes which I command you this day; that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you:
Dabariym:28:16: Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.
Dabariym:28:17: Cursed shall be your basket and your store.
Dabariym:28:18: Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cattle, and the flocks of your sheep.
Dabariym:28:19: Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you got out.
It is because the House of Yisrael, which is steeped in "Christian" doctrine and have rejected YaHVeH's commandments that has lead to their decisions concerning in how to deal with the people they rule over and the other nations they come in contact with. Because they base their governmental foundation on buying and selling/economy their justice and judgment is based on sand. They try to bribe and lobby and give gifts of great sums to their enemies to be their friends (Yeckizkiyah 16). They have had the material abundance of earth given to them, silver and gold and they have chosen to use paper money for exchange. They have crafted their own demise. They sell guns and arms to their own enemies and then train them on how to use those weapons that they will eventually use against them. That's why it says in Yirmiyah chapter 13 verse 21:
Yirmiyah:13:21: What will you say when HE shall punish you? For you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?
This is what the USA is doing right now! By training and selling arms to the Iraqi army and other Middle East nations, Iraq/Ashshur/Assyria by the way is one of the ten horns mounted on the Beast of Revelation chapter 13. In verse 20 of Dabariym chapter 28 it is written:
Dabariym: 28:20: YaHVeH shall send on you cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the wickedness of your doings, whereby you have forsaken ME.
Page 17
You see YaHVeH said HE was going to cause these things to happen in the "last days". Satan can only do what YaHVeH allows him to do. These things must happen or how else will HIS foretelling Word be fulfilled.
The events of 911 2001 is what YaHVeH said HE was going to do. It is written in Dabariym chapter 32 verse 21:
Dabariym:32:21: They have moved ME to jealousy with that which is not EL; they have provoked ME to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
This is the conspiracy of 911. YaHVeH has conspired against this nation. HE has used a nation the nation of Afghanistan that militarily and economically was no comparison to the USA`s military power and wealth. Afghanistan was that foolish nation. YaHVeH foretold again in Yashayah/Isaiah chapter 30 verse 25:
Yashayah:30:25: And there shall be on every high mountain, and on every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Did you hear that. The twin towers of 911 was a foretold event that YaHVeH planned long ago because HE knew of the children of Yisrael iron sinew neck and brass brow (Yashayah 48:4)!
Today is the time for you and your household to repent and order your life according to the commandments placed INSIDE the ark, which is Yahshua the Mashiyach the chief corner stone. You can find a condensed down version of that Law/Torah in Shemoth chapter 20. It includes the keeping of YaHVeH`s Sabbaths. When you enter HIS Sabbaths it is a sign to HIM that you are HIS.
Yashayah:58:13: If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on MY kodesh/set apart day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the kadosh of YaHVeH, magnifying; and shall respect HIM, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
Yashayah:58:14: Then shall you delight yourself in YaHVeH; and I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Ya'akob your father: for the mouth of YaHVeH has spoken it.
Remember the Mouth of YaHVeH is Yahshua the Mashiyach also called the Voice and Word of YaHVeH.

Nice little pictorial story about the two paths that Robert Frost's life might have taken. I'm not going to spout some sentimental crap about choosing your own path, but it's interesting to think that one simple decision can change your whole life. If I'd not moved to Glasgow in 1998 I wonder where I would be now? I was 0.5% of a grade away from being accepted to a scholarship that would have seen me going to the states for University and having a career in the oil industry, 0.5% that's it… The admission criteria was something like 90% and when all my scores were totalled up I had 89.5%
I'm glad I ended up where I ended up, and I'm happy, but I do sometimes wonder what the heck would have happened to me if I'd gotten that extra 0.5%.

Celebrity women like Elle Mcpherson and Sofia Vergara are not the only ones who have decided to take advantage of developments in science and freeze their eggs. Whether their motivation is waiting for the right man or choosing to focus on a career, or both, research has proven that the number of women freezing eggs has risen by 400% in the last year alone.
Sofia Vergara, 42, has explained her motivation, telling Good Morning America: 'I just wanted to plan ahead. Nothing happens that naturally anymore.'
She's obviously not alone in being prepared – almost half the number of women who seek egg freezing treatment are now between 25 and 34. We have done our research so that if you are wondering how to freeze your eggs then you can find the answers to all your questions here…
What Is Egg Freezing?
After an initial consultation, an embryologist will measure the level of Inhibin B, a fertility hormone produced by the ovaries. The more a woman has of this, the more eggs she has left. IVF drugs are then given for ten days to stimulate the ovaries to produce follicles, which contain the eggs. The next step is a short operation under sedative, where a dose of hormone is injected via a fine needle into the vagina in order to release the eggs. The eggs are then stored in liquid nitrogen to preserve them.
How Advanced Is Egg Freezing Treatment Now?
James Nicopoullos, Consultant Gynaecologist and Specialist in Reproductive Medicine at The Lister Fertility Clinic, says that the introduction of Vitrification, pioneered by Japanese medical group Kitazato, has had a huge impact: 'This allows us to rapidly freeze eggs and avoid damaging ice crystals that used to form on the eggs with the previous method. We won't see the figures coming through for another ten years or so but I believe with time success rates will markedly increase.'
How Likely Is It That Egg Freezing Will Work?
The first pregnancy from frozen eggs was in 1986 and since then there have been about 5000 births worldwide from the treatment. When the last official figures were released in 2013, only twenty of these babies were born in the UK. So, relatively, success rates are not huge. Dr Nicopoullos explains why this may be: 'Success is hard to quantify because before the recent introduction of vitrification, there was so little of it. Also, some people may have not come through their cancer treatment or gone on to find Mr Right and not use the eggs.'
Venessa Smith of The London Women's Clinic thinks the numbers will rise more steeply now: 'More and more women are choosing to freeze their eggs for social and not medical reasons. By definition this will lead to an increase in women who are past their most fertile years, having pregnancies in the future with the eggs they stored when they were younger.'
Does Freezing Eggs Prevent Any Risks ?
Smith says extensive research is not available because egg freezing is relatively new but that 'there has not been any reported increase in birth defects in those children born as a result of conception from a frozen egg.'
The biggest risk associated with fertility treatment is having multiple births, which can be dangerous as it threatens an increased risk of premature birth and low weight.
A more common side effect is drug reaction such as hot flushes, feeling irritable, headaches and restlessness. In more extreme circumstances women may experience ectopic pregnancies, when an embryo implants outside the uterus. There is also a low risk of birth defects.
How Much Does Freezing Eggs Cost?
Prices will vary between clinics but patients are charged on average £4,000 – £5,000 for the stimulation, scans, egg collection, the freezing process and drugs. On top of this it costs around £300 a year for storage and £2000 for them to be re-implanted.
Some women choose to go abroad for cheaper treatment in places such as the Czech Republic but Dr Nicopoullos warns against this: "It is cheaper because it is unregulated so I would advise against that." On the other hand Spain does have an excellent reputation for IVF treatment, which can be competitively priced compared to the UK.
How Long Can Frozen Eggs Be Stored For?
If you are doing it for social reasons egg storage cannot exceed ten years. However patients who are freezing their eggs for medical reasons, such as prior to chemotheraphy, may store them for up to fifty-five years.
What Happens When The Frozen Eggs Are Needed?
Latest Stories
The eggs are warmed up again at a controlled rate, allowing them to thaw slowly. Once this has happened they are injected with sperm and inserted into the woman's uterus. If the process is successful she will then be pregnant as normal.
Dr Nicopoullous has one final piece of advice: 'Having looked at all the statistics, my main piece of advice would be that the younger you freeze them, the better chance you have of the process being successful so if it is something you are seriously considering, don't leave it too late.'

I liked your product.
These are a must for anyone who has ordered a faucet from amazon that has the recessed water connects and crappy hoses that you have to hand tighten. Hand tightening doesn't work and leads to leaks. Finding these was a life and money saver. I thought I was going to have to get a different faucet, but nope. These worked perfect. It's a shame the recessed connect faucets don't already come with the proper hoses.
Just what I need for my bathroom sink renovation.
Arrived as described Fast shipping. Will use this seller again. Five stars all the way
I bought a faucet that did not have pre-installed lines. It came with flex lines like these, but without the rigid extension. The holes in the faucet were recessed about 2 inches, and I didn't think I could tighten (twist) the included flex lines enough to keep it from leaking -- I was afraid I would ruin the crimp connector. So I found these, which have a rigid section with a hex fitting that let me get a wrench on it and tighten it without risking any crimped fittings.
It worked well -- did not leak!

Recent filings show that the new building will be pretty cool — literally. Facebook has given the new center the nickname of Sub-Zero. Wired wrote more about Facebook's plans for the additional data center.Wired offered some more details as to what it will be like inside the new building, a mini-data center that Facebook is building next to its current Prineville, Ore., center:The plan is to use the building to house a brand-new type of low-power deep-storage device that Facebook engineers will cook up over the next six to nine months. They're designing a hard-disk storage server that powers off when it's not in use, says Tom Furlong, vice president of site operations at Facebook. "It's going to sit in a dedicated building that is optimized to support this device that we don't need to access very often."What will this building be like? Boxy and quiet, with rows of low-powered machines clicking on and off, says Furlong.The data center addition will be smaller (62,000 feet) than the main Prineville data center (334,000 square feet). However, Facebook is also building another center the same size as the larger one — which will eventually make for three data storage buildings on the site.Wired's Robert McMillan noted that the goal of the Sub-Zero center is to cut back on energy use. Facebook recently released reports on energy and water usage at data centers, and the site stated its goals to become more eco-friendly.They hope to seriously cut power consumption with Sub-Zero. Right now, a rack of Facebook servers burns about 4.5 kilowatts. In the Sub-Zero data center, the goal is to drop this to around 1.5 kW.Facebook wants to add a second Sub-Zero-type storage facility next to its Forest City, N.C., data center, Furlong says.Readers: Are you happy that Facebook is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to going green?

A champion for training, James is also the Chairman for Glasgow tourism service initiative – Glasgow Welcomes and vice chair of the Glasgow Restaurant Association. Find more information visit www.glasgowwelcomes.com
Hutchesons' Poire Belle Helene Sundae paired with Glenfarclas 25 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Originally a creation of the famous chef Auguste Escoffier in 19th century in Paris, it has now become a signature dessert at Hutchesons. Named after an operatta that was created by Jacques Offenbach in 1864, La Belle Helene, Hutchesons French executive chef, Eric Avenier, has added his twist on this classic, which pairs perfectly with a glass of Glenfarclas 25 year old single malt whisky.
The coolness of the ice cream, the texture of the pears and the warmth of the melted chocolate alongside the smoky finish of the Glenfarclas ensures a truly indulgent end to any meal.
Poached Comice pears
- 2 organic comice pears
- 750ml/1 pint and 7fl oz stock syrup (made from 375g/13oz sugar and 375ml/13fl oz water – boiled together until the sugar dissolves with vanilla extract, cardamom pods and bay leaves, to taste)
Chocolate sauce
- 250ml/83⁄4fl oz double cream
- 300g/101⁄2oz chocolate (70 per cent cocoa solids), chopped into small pieces
- Chocolate ice cream
- Crushed Amaretti biscuit
- Chantilly Cream
- Toasted flaked almonds
- Mint
Preparation method
- Peel the pears (leaving the stalk intact) and remove the core from each pear. Slice the bottom of each pear to make a flat base.
- Place the pears upright into a pan with the stock syrup. Poach for about 20 minutes until the pears are juicy and tender. Carefully remove the pears from the poaching liquid, reserving the liquid.
- To make the chocolate sauce, heat the double cream in a small pan. Add the chocolate pieces. Heat gently until the chocolate has melted.
- Finish the chocolate sauce with 25ml of the sugar syrup that the pears were poached in – this will give a glossy consistency.
- To serve Sundae, three scoops of chocolate ice cream on the bottom, add slices of pear in half, top with warm chocolate sauce, add biscuit, Chantilly cream and toasted flaked almonds
