The great majority of divers that descend on the Maldives each year only explore one area, the Central Atolls. There are a number of reasons for this. First up these Atolls are close to the capital, Malé, so are easily accessible. Secondly, the Maldives Liveaboards in the Maldives Central Atolls are so numerous, there is a wide range of options. And finally, the diving in this area is superb, so you don't really need to venture to distant atolls, many hundreds of kilometres away, to experience the best of the Maldives.
The Central Atolls includes North and South Malé, Vaavu, Meemu, Faafu, Dhaalu, North and South Ari and Rasdhoo Atoll. While these atolls vary dramatically in size, some being over 50km in length and others only a few kilometres in diameter, they are all dotted with islands and home to numerous resorts. Most resorts also have a dive centre to take you to the best local sites.
Staying at a resort may be perfect for some, especially the diver with a non-diving partner or children. But for the best diving in the Central Atolls you really need to join a Maldives Liveaboard, which will generally explore four or five atolls in a week-long cruise and give you the chance to do up to four dives a day at a wide variety of dive sites.
Diving is available in the Central Atolls year-round, another reason for its popularity, but this region experiences its best conditions between December and May, during the northeast monsoon season. This is a time of light winds, calm seas and little rain, with wonderful visibility on the eastern atolls, but often reduced visibility on the western atolls.
It really doesn't matter how you dive, where you dive or when you dive the Central Atolls of the Maldives, as you're bound to have an incredible time exploring walls, pinnacles, coral gardens and channels, plus seeing a wide variety of fish, invertebrates, turtles, sharks and manta rays.
The Central Atolls are located, as one might expect, in the centre of the Maldives archipelago. The nine atolls that make up the central region are all located within 150km of the capital, Malé.
Most resorts in the Maldives have a dive centre attached, ready to take you to their nearby dive sites; but to see more of the Maldives liveaboard diving is the way to go.
Dive Sites
Divers exploring the Central Atolls of the Maldives will find no shortage of incredible dive sites, with this area containing some of the most famous dive sites of this island nation. All the atolls have a similar structure, a fringing outer reef and a sheltered lagoon, but they also have their own special features like pinnacles, coral gardens, caves, shipwrecks and artificial reefs.
Currents are very common on these Central Atolls, and the main reason these reefs are so rich with marine life. It is possible to avoid currents when diving sheltered sites in lagoons, but to experience the best sites you will have to contend with the currents. These currents are generally strongest on the outer reef, the channels between reefs and in the narrow channels feeding into the lagoon. All the dive guides are very knowledgeable about these currents and use them to do drift dives.
These current dives on walls and channels are the best way to see sharks, barracuda, trevally, mackerel, batfish, Maori wrasse, groupers, eagle rays and other ocean wanderers. But some of the best dives in this area are on the pinnacles and coral gardens. These are home to a wide variety of colourful reef fish, numerous invertebrates, rays, reef sharks, morays and turtles. Some are also visited by manta rays and don't be surprised if you also see a whale shark or a pod of dolphins.
There are many wonderful dive adventures to be enjoyed on the Central Atolls of the Maldives.
View Dive Sites
Where to Stay
Most visitors to the Maldives Central Atolls arrive at Malé International Airport and then transfer direct to their resort or their liveaboard boat, doing the reverse on departure. But if you would like to see the capital, and a little Maldivian culture, then book a night or two in Malé or nearby Hulhule Island where the airport is located. Numerous hotels are found in both places that cater for every budget.
Where to Eat
Your choice of places to eat are limited once on your liveaboard or at your resort. Most offer a smorgasbord buffetfor breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a great mix of western and Asian dishes. The only problem you may find is over-eating, as after diving most people have a very healthy appetite.
If you get a chance to visit or stay in Malé, you can try some of the local Maldivian cuisine. Heavily influenced by Indian food, the three main elements to most Maldivian food are fish, coconuts and rice. A good mix of western and Asian restaurants are also found in Malé.
How to Get Around
Once you arrive at your resort, generally by seaplane, or board your liveaboard boat, you will not have to get around anywhere. While some resorts are on larger islands, giving you a chance to explore a local village or market, most are completely self-contained on small islands.The most common way to get around on most of these islands is on foot.
Other Activities
If you are exploring this area on a liveaboard vessel your daily activities will be eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive and eat some more, with a few naps, sunbakes and afternoon drinks thrown in as well.
On the other hand if you are staying at a resort you will find plenty of other water sport activities to keep you busy when not diving. Most resorts offer snorkelling, kayaking, water skiing, jet skiing, kite surfing, wind surfing, sailing, parasailing and fishing. Or you could just spend your free time relaxing on a beach, reading a book and watching the waves gently lapping on the shore.
Getting There
With the Central Atolls surrounding the capital, Malé, they are the easiest part of the Maldives for divers to explore. Numerous airlines operate daily flights to Malé International Airport, with flights from Australia and countries in the Pacific arriving via Singapore or a number of other major Asian airports. From Europe, there are numerous direct flights to Malé, or via Dubai or Doha.

Catastrophic events are the Number 1 Killer of well-intentioned, unprepared, medium–high intensity fish farms. Losses encountered can often lead to complete business failure. Unmitigated or poorly-timed interventions during periods of unexpected electrical power outages are the Number 1 catastrophic event.
Any farm that aerates or moves water can be at risk. The greater the fish density, the greater the risk. While this applies to both indoor RAS and outdoor "RAS within a pond", outdoor farms tend to have more intervention opportunities.
How can this risk be eliminated or reduced? A good back-up system is NOT enough, unless you have a hobby farm and can afford to lose your crop.
Good "crop security" mandates REDUNDANT BACK-UP SYSTEMS. Power outage warning systems with text and voice auto-dialers, etc, are fine, but "Power On" does not equate to "O2 On". While power outage warnings are good and can help provide early warnings, they do not monitor against blower failures, manifold leaks, or numerous other system failures. Therefore, O2 monitoring is also strongly encouraged.
Blower failure can be off-set somewhat via multiple blowers connected to a common manifold with possible solenoid-activated start-ups, valves, or discharge sharing.
Good prevention starts with solid planning, which may start small and with minimal investment, but then grows more robust as the value of the crop increases.
Because "aquaculture is now agriculture" under federal and most state laws, crop insurance is always worth investigating.
"Eyes-on" may not be the most favorite tool in the tool box, especially in this age of automation, but it should not be under-rated. While live-feed video and water quality data can be available 24/7, on a world-wide basis via satellite, there is no substitution for motivated, human observation. When there is doubt, it's great to have someone living close to the farm, especially for temporary interventions, such as starting a "self-starting" generator.
Fish farmers using or interested in "In-Pond Raceway Systems (IPRS's)" are invited to contact Superior Aquaculture for additional, sometime innovative suggestions for "Backing-up Your Back-ups".

News outlets have been filled with stories about investment frauds from the breathtaking to the mundane. In their rush to tell you about these frauds, rarely do our friends in the media take the time to tell you how to avoid these frauds. Learning how to avoid frauds is critical as those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Avoiding frauds should be awfully simple to do. No matter how well you might think you know someone, this is about the business of your money so it's important to always ask a few very simple questions. The important thing is to ask ALL of them and if you don't get a simple "yes" answer on any one, move on.
Here are the four questions you should ask:
(1) Is your firm registered as an investment adviser with the SEC? If yes, ask for the firm's official name so you can look up Part I of the firm's Form ADV on the SEC site http://www.sec.gov/investor/brokers.htm and check out the firm's regulatory history. If the firm or any individual has regulatory problems in its past, move on. If the firm is not registered with the SEC as an investment adviser, move on.
(2) Will my investments be held by an independent custodian? Most reputable advisers do NOT take custody of their clients' assets because of the regulatory requirements they should follow. Your adviser should use an independent bank or broker (think Schwab, Fidelity or TD Ameritrade) as the custodian for your assets. Your adviser should only be able to make trades in your account but should never be handling your money or investments directly. If the adviser wants custody of your money and investments, move on.
(3) Are you paid solely by me on the basis of assets you manage for me? If yes, the adviser is on your side of the desk – he/she owns earns more money only if you do. Any other form of compensation – commissions, payments from fund companies, incentive fees – creates of conflict of interest for the adviser which could be bad for you.
(4) Do you have a long history of managing money for clients? Look at the education and experience of the adviser's principals that is disclosed in the Form ADV. Have they worked for reputable companies in the past? Do you they the appropriate education, experience and credentials to manage your money? If not, move on.
If you receive "yes" answers to these four questions, then you should feel comfortable in taking the next steps of evaluating the adviser's services and fees. However, if any of the answers are "no", you should continue your search for another adviser.

Importing your Revit model into Infraworks is a simple workflow and can be done in 3 ways.
- Native Revit file imported via the cloud processing tool in Infraworks / or the local processing tool.
- Exporting Revit via FBX (Revit always exports FBX units as feet) and importing FBX into Infraworks.
- Export Revit via DWG (metric Revit files export as metric. Great for massing options) and importing into Infraworks.
My preferred workflow is using FBX, why this method?
- Exporting is done by FBX as it is sent to from Revit to Infraworks. Infraworks does allow RVT files (via the cloud / or local processing if you have Navisworks Manage installed) to be imported but I found that if you can create an FBX file (with LOD used) of the exact model you require. Ie turning off all internal elements (furniture) in a saved 3d view making a smaller FBX file (hence a smaller AIM model). Similar workflow when exporting Navisworks from Revit, controlling the output.
- The Basepoint in Revit is the model setout point of the exported FBX. You need to record the coordinates of the Basepoint as this will be used to position the FBX file in the correct location. This is based on the fact that you have set the model up with the correct coordinate which related to the site which is known the coordinate system.
The above image of the Revit model showing that the model has being rotated to True North and that the base point is located in the PCG94 grid system.
|Import FBX file which has not been configured
The known coordinates system is inputted. Ie PCG94 in this example.
The x been the E/W from Revit 53800.6077, The Y been the N/S from Revit 264989.7382 and the Z been the Elev from Revit 17. Before recording the values, I change the Revit unit to Meter.
|FBX location define in the configuration
Before recording the values, I change the Revit unit to Meter.
|Revit Units Set to Meters
- The Result of the building FBX file is imported into Infrawork using the Base point as the setout for the file. The model appears in the correct location but incorrectly rotated. What was not done during the configuration of the FBX file was input the True North rotation from Revit base point
- The strange part to get the model to be correctly rotated is to take the Revit rotation to true north and minus that from 360. Eg. 360°- 207.332° is = to 152.668. using the value you input that into the configuration of the rotation for the Z.
|The Z value of the Revit ration to True North - 360.
The short video below is a workflow that I've used to export Revit to FBX which then imported into Infraworks.

Henry: 4 Years Old
Dear Henry,
Today you are four. I can hardly believe that you have been in our lives for four whole years. But at the same time, I can't remember life before you, and I don't want to. You have been such a bright light in our life and I'm thankful every day that I get to be your Mama.
Henry, I want you to know that you are incredibly special. You're so smart, you're hilarious, you're kind, you're sensitive, and you're so much fun to be around. Every day your laughter fills the walls of our home and spreads grins across our faces. The wrestling with your daddy, the tickles with me, there isn't much that will keep you in a bad mood for long.
I have so loved watching you change over the years. Your imagination is really showing itself now and I absolutely love watching and listening to you play. The stories that you come up with always entertain me and I hope you never stop imagining.
And now, you're a big brother. I'll be honest, I was worried about this transition for you. But I shouldn't have worried. You are amazing at being a big brother. All of the love in your little body, you transfer over to your brother easily. You're helpful and caring and seem to truly enjoy him. I cannot wait to see your relationship with him grow.
At four years old, I could never have predicted what you would be like. The intelligence that you have within you makes me so proud. Every single day you surprise me with something you know that I had no idea you knew. Every single day I'm astounded by something you've learned without me knowing it - or that you've picked up somewhere along the way.
But my favorite thing about you, bug? Your heart. You are such a sweet soul and you always want to make the people around you happy. Nothing makes you more upset than knowing that you've hurt someone's feelings. You're quick with the hugs and the kisses, which is one of my favorite things.
I could go on and on about how much your daddy and I adore you. But suffice it to say, you, kid, are one in a million and we are so, so proud of the little person you've become. I hope that your core personality never changes. Because that heart of yours? It could change the world.
I love you,

These Perfumes Smell Just like Old Books
You're in a used bookstore and uncover a dusty novel. You crack it open and lean in, inhaling deeply. Ahhh…that book smell. It's intoxicating. Now what if I told you that you could wear it as a scent, or mist it on your clothes? Yep, that's right—there are perfumes that mimic the smell of old books.
One of them is called Dead Writers: developed by Sweet Tea Apothecary, the scent is a blend of black tea, vetiver, clove, musk, vanilla, heliotrope, and tobacco. Sweet Tea Apothecary also carries other unique scents, including their Historical Gents and Historical Ladies lines. The perfumes are inspired by famous figures of times past, like Beatrix Potter, Marie Antoinette, King Henry VIII and Archibald Menzies.
Another scent is Paperback by Demeter, a fragrance company known for their unconventional, highly specific scents. The cologne spray is described as "sweet and lovely with just a touch of the musty smell of aged paper…with a sprinkling of violets and a dash of tasteful potpourri."
via Demeter
There's also Book by Commodity Goods, an "exciting mixture of Spicy Cucumber and Torchwood that tips its hat to the fellow Hemingways and Fitzgeralds of the world." They also have one called Paper, a lighter scent that is described as an "invisible chameleon."
via Commodity Goods
And then there's In The Library by CB I Hate Perfume, which gets into the nitty gritty of bookish smells—it even aims to capture the glues and leathers of different bindings.
The story behind the scent tells it best: "…to an avid reader and collector like myself, these smells are as magical as the bouquet of a great wine is to a connoisseur—a sort of literary terroir. These scents mean Excitement, Adventure, Discovery, Enlightenment and Knowledge. Of course my deep love of reading is exactly what lead me in the first place to begin capturing the scent of books and of the libraries where they live. That's what this perfume is all about."
So why exactly do books take on that unmistakable scent over time? It all comes down to the chemical—the cellulose and lignin in paper gradually breaks down, releasing certain volatile compounds like toluene, vanillin, and benzaldehyde, which just so happen to smell amazing. This graphic from Compound Image explains it all:
So, would you buy any of these perfumes? Or are you happy just knowing they exist?

You missed Paper Passion.

While there is nothing I love more than devouring the shelves of an old bookstore; breathing deeply the scent of old pages, pipe tobacco, old glue, the inside of an old cabinet perhaps an old trunk in an attic – I do not wish to fragrance myself with those smells, odors or scents.
How shameful would I be if a man nuzzled my neck, pulled away quickly, looked at me curiously and said, "you smell of an old bookstore".
James Whittaker March 30, 2017 at 10:09 pm
You love the smells. That should come as a compliment
Rose February 22, 2018 at 7:32 pm
No offense but the man of my dreams would find that scent comforting and enjoyable.
Sarah Melling May 22, 2016 at 7:59 am
As a lover of "real" books (I've even done drawings of stacks of my faves) this makes me wonder if the scent is the real reason some of us can't get attached to e-books. Maybe they'll need to work THAT into the design of the next generation of e-readers.
Bonnie July 31, 2019 at 9:27 am
The lack of book scent on e-readers was definitely one of the reasons I delayed using them. They totally should have an option for the new book smell.
Jackie Benefraim May 23, 2016 at 9:03 am

Choice small enterprise loans is usually a funding answer acquired by means of sources which differ from the traditional method of obtaining a mortgage – "The Bank". Answering these questions will help determine for those who should pursue a authorities-backed loan, a loan or line of credit score through a financial institution, or a money advance, line of credit or mortgage from another lender. Should you suppose another lender is right for you, we encourage you to check out our roundup of our best picks for various types of loans, our reasoning for selecting each and our thorough various lender listing.
Non-public lenders are swift in turnaround times and can in many circumstances settle funds on the same day as the application, whereas traditional huge banks can take weeks or months. These loans, supplied by banks and different lenders, can be used for working capital or to pay franchise charges, purchase gear, and construct stores or restaurants.
In addition to being rejected for financing more usually, smaller companies also usually pay larger interest rates on loans than large companies. Should you're planning to apply for larger-scale financing for your small business in the next few years, the case may be made for beginning with a smaller, short-time period loan in an effort to construct your small business credit.
Additionally, you will discover that many lenders just don't present seed money. The credit score approval course of might lead to some aspiring or present enterprise homeowners not qualifying for financing or solely qualifying for top curiosity loans or loans that require the pledge of private property as collateral.
Nationwide Funding makes it simple to fulfill your dream and get the financing you want by providing loans for small companies and empowering small enterprise house owners. Except for increased rates of interest, Internet lenders are recognized for onerous phrases and poor transparency, so be certain you actually need the cash-and pays it again-should you go this route.

Branding 101 with Jelly Fam
For a long time, people thought New York City basketball culture was dead. Then, "Jelly Fam" happened, a social media movement that wasn't started by an agency, sports brand, or even an NBA player, but a bunch of high school basketball prospects with some serious branding skills. A "jelly" is a move in basketball where instead of laying the ball up off the backboard, the player twists the ball directly into the hoop. Isaiah Washington, the creator of the Jelly Fam movement, was originally inspired by the iconic Michael Jordan dunk witnessed in the 1988 NBA Dunk off contest. Unable to dunk, but still wanting to emulate Jordan, Washington put his own twist on the show-stopping move, coining his version as "the jelly."
Since then, this movement has garnered the attention of basketball lovers worldwide, including basketball superstars Lebron James and John Wall. Here are three branding tips we can learn from the Jelly Fam movement:
Use What You Know
Jelly Fam has been described as New York City on steroids paired with modern social media. Isaiah Washington and Ja'Quaye James -- both passionate, young basketball players -- knew exactly how to utilize their social media accounts to expose the "Jelly Fam" movement to others. By using the hashtag #jellyfam on their social media handles, their team of young basketball prodigies grew, along with their brand. Now young hoop players are doing the "jelly" as part of their signature move, bringing even more attention to the movement through highlight reels created and posted all over social media.
Let Others Be Part of Your Movement, But Make It Exclusive
The Jelly Fam team consist of some of the best highschool basketball prospects in New York, all handpicked by Washington and James. To officially be part of the movement, there are two main requirements:
1. You must pull a "jelly" move on a player three times in a game.
2. Your social media handles should have the words "jellyfam" in them, an example being @jellyfam_dames.
By adding these requirements, the Jelly Fam brand is increasing its cool factor by only giving the Jelly Fam recognition to those who engage in the act. This, then, forces those who are interested in the movement to physically complete a "jelly," immersing themself in the experience and further strengthening the Jelly Fam brand message. Through the elite team of basketball prodigies chosen to be part of the Jelly Fam, the brand is then able to push Jelly Fam content to a larger audience, further increasing their exposure.
Learn From Your Mentors
Ja'Quaye James is the nephew of rapper Juelz Santana. Ja'Quaye watched his uncle and other rappers like Cam'ron grow their music label, "Diplomats." Ja'Quaye watched the Diplomats brand with a close eye as a child and employs some of their guerilla marketing tactics today. Custom shoes, shirts, and other apparel with the Jelly Fam logo are all things that Ja'Quaye learned from his uncle and the Diplomats. With the added social media flair that the Diplomats never had, Jelly Fam has created a serious brand that dominates Instagram feeds of basketball fans everywhere.
From a young New York basketball player, to the creator of a revolutionary movement, Isaiah Washington probably never thought his "jelly" would make the impact it did on the New York basketball scene. But with the help of friend, Ja'Quaye James, Jelly Fam has become the phenomenon almost every aspiring New York basketball player wants to take part in. Through their use of social media and strategic branding tactics, Jelly Fam proves that any brand can be successful if it utilizes the right tools.

The ContiRaceAttack Comp Endurance is our most aggressive road tyre, ideal for fast road and track day use without the need for tyre warmers.
Just over three months ago, Performance Bikes editor Chris Newbigging fitted a set to his GSX-R1000, and in the December 2017 issue he had this to say:
"Continental's most robust-compound track tyre has been ideal on the GSX-R over a summer of track and naughty road use.
Inflated to 36psi at both ends they're well mannered at slow speed and from cold on the road, with loads of feel, grip and stability.
On track, the GSX-R and its short-geared attitude really work them – you can hear the wheelspin out of first and second-gear corners with traction control set low. That's the nature of these bikes, though: they ask huge amounts of road tyres.
But they're consistent – I found the slip point early in the tyres' life, and they're still performing much the same now they're more or less toasted.
Without trying to be big headed, on a bike like the Suzuki I'll expect only to be passed by the odd race bike in the fast group: if you regularly ride a powerful of track-only bike at that pace, you warrant a set of slicks or soft-compound treads.
For me, these make sense on a road bike doing a mix of road/track, and expecting the tyres to work and last well for both.
With that in mind, I rate them highly, and the fact they're cheaper than competitors make them a compelling multi-tasking tyre for modern sportsbikes."

Manolo Tena
The latest album by Manolo Tena represents a breakup between two periods of his life: having won the battle against addiction, Manolo Tena releases his album "Casualidades" to celebrate the beginning of a new period of his life.
Manolo Tena, singer and songwriter, was one of the most popular artists of Madrid's rock scene during the 80's. At the beginning of his career he played in bands that fused rock & roll and theater, at times being censured by Spain's dictatorship. Among his most acclaimed hits are 'Frío', 'Tocar Madera' and 'Sangre Española', songs that won him popularity amongst the Spanish music scene. He also wrote numerous hits for artists like Ana Belen, Luz Casal, Rosario Flores and Ricky Martin.
We used the tearing effect to represent this breakup, making allusion to the street rock that has accompanied the artist through bad and good times. The album booklet is conceived as an artist book in which each of the songs are a unique piece described through a visual poem. We designed and photographed custom still life scenes using daily objects to tell Tena's story with a colourful approach that resembles his attitude during this new period.
Promotional campaign
Apart from designing the album itself, we also developed promotional materials for the release and for the premiere of his biographic documentary. Among other projects, we contributed on the animated introduction to the documentary. We also contributed on posters, invitations, t-shirts and other graphic materials that decorated the premiere event.

This photograph of my daughter (resident Time Machine artist) and her pretty little winged friend was taken inside a butterfly tent that had been temporarily erected on the lawns right outside the Natural History Museum in London. The butterflies had no airs or graces, they would assert their right to land on your shoulder, head or nose without asking permission and make themselves right at home. Incidentally, not coincidentally, situated almost directly opposite the museum entrance on the other side of the road is the Henry Cole Wing of the Victoria & Albert Museum, where the Normal School of Science (later Royal College of Science) used to be located. During the 1880s H.G. Wells studied biology there under T.H. Huxley, a vigorous public supporter of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory and an advocate of agnosticism, in fact, he coined the word—yes, you've guessed it, it's another H.G. Wells-themed day out.
It was a beautiful, warm sunny day and the tent was alive with these exotic, brightly coloured but short-lived creatures. Like butterflies, our lives are also short-lived, in the grand scheme of things, and so is happiness, which is also a transitory thing. Wells constantly explores this theme in his writings, where his Utopias are all too transitory. In 'The Time Machine' the Time Traveller discovers what first appears to be a Golden Age where people of the future are living in comfort, security and happiness, however their Utopia was slowly degrading and falling apart about them. And in his short story, 'The Door in the Wall' a boy discovers a green door in a wall that leads into an enchanted garden. For a while the boy is happy in this wonderful paradise, but later, somehow finds himself back in the coarse, harsh real world and, although he catches a few glimpses of the green door at various times in his life as he grows older, events are such that he never manages to find his way back into the enchanted garden. It is lost forever to him.
The dream of unreachable, and sometimes reachable (Wells wasn't a total pessimist) happiness runs through much of his work. In Wells's near-autobiographical novels 'The History of Mr Polly' and 'Kipps' the male protagonists struggle to break-free of their limited, mundane, lower-class lives to find something better. But Wells tells us that even on finding happiness, nothing lasts forever. For instance, in the closing chapter of 'Men Like Gods' there's a particularly melancholy scene describing a man's last day in Utopia, and it made enough of an impression on me, to inspire me to come up with a short piece of music to try and capture the feeling of something beautiful, delicate and fragile that is forever slipping away.
Anyway, in the story the protagonist, Mr. Barnstaple is accidentally transported into a parallel universe where humanity have eliminated greed, poverty and war, and are doing all the right things. Mr. Barnstaple desires to spend the rest of his days in this beautiful place and does all he can to fit in and make himself useful, however, the task is beyond his abilities, no matter how hard he tries. He realises that it would be best for everyone if he returns his own flawed world (our world) and find some kind of happiness there. Like Mr. Barnstaple I'm still searching for Utopia, well the sound of Utopia at least…

This is a great interview about her, Juliet, Suliet and Josh Holloway! Read it all! It's just a bit spoilering, but no really if you know who is coming back. 🙂 She's absolutely adorable. And oh I've loved Juliet since the first moment I saw her on screen and I agree with Elizabeth I don't get how people couldn't see she wasn't bad.
Lost But Not Forgotten
Elizabeth Mitchell shares her thoughts on Lost, V, and kissing Josh Holloway
Lo, behold the power of pop culture.
Picture me, sitting on my couch in my living room in Edmonton chatting on the phone with a complete stranger (no, it doesn't matter what either of us is wearing — fill that in for yourselves). My phone mate is sitting on her couch, in her living room on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and we're chatting about our mutual friend, Juliet.

The interview is spoilering about V. At the end there is something about Lost as well.
V's Elizabeth Mitchell: "Absolutely No One Is Safe" in the Finale
The season finale of V has arrived (Tuesday, May 18 at 10/9c) and with a title like "Red Sky," fans of the original miniseries are intrigued by what the oncoming war will bring. TVGuide.com caught up with Elizabeth Mitchell to get the scoop on the finale, including a meet-the-parents dinner where Erica Evans will sit down with Anna (Morena Baccarin) on the mothership. Mitchell also reveals which character is safe amidst all the casualties…

ABC held a screening of LOST 6×16 at the Live Lost event last night.
Juliet was not in the episode, but she was kind of mentioned. Don't read any further if you didn't read theis spoiler about the finale.
Sideways Jack wakes up with the familiar blood stain on his neck and goes to eat breakfast with David. David makes sure Jack is going to his concert that night and Jack says he would be and inquires if David's mom will be there.

OH, there was a scene where Jack asks if David's mom is coming to the concert that night, and David tells him not to get weird about it. It's kind of a funny scene, but I wonder what they meant by "get weird."

It mights contain spoilers, I haven't finished to read it yet.
Elizabeth Mitchell is one of those actresses that has a way of drawing you in. On Lost, Juliet became such a beloved character that I would venture to say was probably just as popular as the Oceanic 6. She now plays Erica Evans on V, where she doubles as an FBI Agent and a leader of the 5th Column (the resistance movement against the Vs). Whatever the role she takes on, Elizabeth Mitchell is just brilliant. I recently had the chance to speak with her and we talked about the upcoming Erica/Anna showdown, the similarities and differences between Erica and Juliet and her favorite moments from filming Lost. (We even chatted a little bit about our golden retrievers!) And while she could share next to nothing about the way Lost ends, we talked about her time there and if she was happy with the way her story ended.

This is interview is SPOILERING if you know nothing about Elizabeth/Juliet on Lost Season 6. She talks about V and LOST. I added the spoiler buttons for the spoilering parts.
EM: I've been in a bliss bubble for the last four years
For the last three years there has been one Emmy prediction category I've been repeatedly wrong in: Best Supporting Actress. My annual declaration that it will finally be the year Elizabeth Mitchell gets nominated — and wins — for her heartbreakingly brilliant work as "Lost's" tortured doctor Juliet Burke fails to come true. It's a travesty.
Luckily Elizabeth isn't going anywhere — not only does she return for the final episodes of "Lost," but her other ABC series, "V," has finally found solid footing after a few initially shaky episodes. But ever the critic, Elizabeth still has a couple more suggestions for how "V" can guarantee another season.
Interestingly, as Elizabeth maps out a plan for network domination, her character Erica is also mapping out how her band of resistance fighters, The Fifth Column, can take down the invading aliens. Elizabeth reveals details of both masterplans as well as what fans can expect from the final hours of "Lost."

Her upcoming movies are "Welcome To Pine Grove!" with Ellen Burstyn and "What We Found".
She recently played Anna in show "The Expanse, but you probably remember her also as the kick-alien-ass FBI Agent Erica Evans on "V", the scientist Rachel Matheson on "Revolution" and the inspector Carine Strand on the action/crime series "Crossing Lines".

"Let's face it, every person getting married wants something unique to them...not something they see coming and going," says Brooke Brinkman, Vice President, Marketing & Communication at Simon G. The fine jewelry brand has been around for over three decades, witnessed alllll of the diamond trends, and really pride themselves on combining old world design with modern tech to create stunning and unique looks. So why wouldn't we look to them when pouring over diamond pics and options?
The good news: you can follow trends and still be unique. And there is a new trend on the rise. "While we've seen round diamonds take center stage as the most popular choice for engagement rings for years," the exec shares, "we are so stoked to see oval diamonds increasing in demand."
The bling boss knows what she's talking about. According to Rare Carat, "Ovals are the breakout star of 2017, rising 40% in just six months." This isn't surprising to Simon G., which offers an array of engagement rings to suit every bride's desire.
"The oval diamond is a classic shape with royal roots, but offers many benefits for the person who wants something a bit different, but not too trendy. At the end of the day you want to enjoy your ring for years to come, so trendy is good, but not if it doesn't allow your ring to be timeless," says Brinkman. Adding, 'Oval diamonds are the current trend, but they also provide the bonus of longevity. i.e. they're not just an "of-the-moment" piece.
Oval diamonds have a few other bonuses as well. "Oval diamonds carry most of their weight on the surface, so compared to their round counterpart of the same size, an oval diamond will appear larger. Another perk with choosing this on trend cut is that because of their shape, Oval diamonds can give the effect of an elongated finger. Lastly, and maybe the most important plus, is that Oval diamonds are cut the same way as a round diamond, so you won't sacrifice on sparkle and they shouldn't cost much more --- any trend that doesn't sacrifice shine or budget, count us in!"
Shop a few of the best options for this new trend from Simon G.'s collections. And then if you like it, go ahead, put a ring on it.
From the Delicate Collection, this engagement set features an oval center diamond.
A .18 ct oval center diamond in a halo is the focus of this darling set of rings, while .37 ctw of pave set diamonds are the final perfecting touch.
From the Passion Collection, this stunning option has a classic style setting features a double halo design built for an oval center stone. It contains .40 ctw of side diamonds.
Also from the Passion Collection, this is a classic halo design engagement ring made for an oval center stone contains .45 ctw of white diamonds.
Would rock an oval rock? Let us know in the comments below!

Sample Breast Cancer Essay- Sample essay on Breast Cancer
Breast cancer refers to the uncontrolled growth of cells in the breast. The affected cells divide and replicate faster than the normal cells of the breast leading to the formation of a lump. The affected cells may undergo division to multiply to other parts of the body or affect the breast in a localized manner. The cancer of the breast may begin from the ducts producing milk or from the glandular cells as well as other tissues within the soft breast tissue. The pathological situation affects both males and females. However, the prevalence of the disease is higher among females than males. Currently, there is improved screening and diagnosis of the patients. This initiative coupled with the increase in awareness creation among people in the society has led to a decline in the rates of breast cancer deaths.

In Joe Massot's 1968 film Wonderwall, Jane Birkin plays Penny Lane, the ultimate '60s model with a swingin' London pad, lousy boyfriend and George Harrison soundtrack. Whether she's posing in spangled party knickers or in front of Jean Harlow posters in thigh-high stockings, you can be sure Penny is pouting, crying or looking confused in her sultry bangs and elongated legginess. For daywear Penny favors a brown toned palette, matching her woven wicker basket with a suede belted coat and tan knee-hi boots, and her Mod leather mini dress even looks sexy when worn with yellow hair rollers. Adding blue eyeshadow and green nail polish for a splash of kaleidoscopic color, Penny ties a purple sash around her red printed kimono, ingests pills, turns on the gas, and and waves goodbye to her cruel, groovy world.
Forget Penny's melodrama and steal her swingin' leggy look instead with the PYT scarab ring, a Susanna Galanis feather necklace with stones, the Kaleidoscope Obi by Vanessa Penna. Throw on the Grey Ant shiny mini sharp dress-er or the Alexander Wang bubble print tank dress and only wear Tsumori Chisato glitter tights,V PL thigh-high leggings or the printed Betty hi-rise hipster from Urban Outfitters around the house. Pair the Les Kbalieros boot from Les Prairies de Paris with a 1960's Mod leather jumper dress from Ebay or the leather mini dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs and the tan Boyfriend Style coat from Topshop.

…My Hope is in Jesus…nothing less; nothing more.
"Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually." –Psalm 119:116-117
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." –Romans 5:1-5
My Hope Is Built (The Solid Rock)
Words By: Edward Mote; Music by: William B. Bradbury
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

I am offering a selection of school visits for Key Stages 3 and 4. These can be delivered as talks, workshops or a mixture of both, depending on your school's requirements.
Themes in teen fiction and how to write them: friendship, adventure, finding your place in the world and specific to my book, the motivation of regret.
Writing from different viewpoints: how to get that voice just right. Practical tips on getting your character's tone authentic. Includes looking at a range of examples.
A 'behind-the-scenes' look at how a book comes about: where I get my ideas, sharing some of the weird and wonderful first draft scenes, looking at what changed in edits and the choices of covers. Incorporates the importance of resilience.
Encouraging the love of reading (with added by-product of improved writing skills), talking about current books, looking for stories outside of a 'standard' novel and tips on how to choose what to read next.
The following topics are more suited to years 7 and 8:
Show don't tell. Don't say he was angry, show his eyes popping and a vein twitching! Short writing exercises with plenty of examples of what to do (and what not to do!)
How to write characters – using visual prompts to pick up key physical attributes and how to describe them.
Editing and the rough first draft. A fun 'spot the difference' look at the first three drafts of a story, encouraging children to go back and look again at what they've written.
These are just a selection of the workshops and talks I offer. I'm open to talking about any writing or reading topic you think would particularly benefit your students. The workshops work best in a classroom situation (a maximum of 30 children) which gives the students plenty of opportunity to ask questions, talks are suited to larger groups. Timings can be tailored to fit your timetable.
'Thank you so much for coming into our school; the students and myself really enjoyed the session you hosted for us. It was both interesting and thought provoking. I have had several students asking when you are coming back, and several who weren't even in your session ask when it's their turn.'

The 1889 Battery Maritime Building stands at the southern tip of Manhattan, an under-utilized ferry terminal with vast public spaces. DTW and Creative Time, both producers and presenters of contemporary performance art, won a competition to utilize the second floor of the ferry terminal while portions of the building would remain in use as ferry slips for commuter ferries and the Coast Guard.
The program included three performance spaces, four rehearsal studios, offices for both institutions and vast public spaces to be developed as galleries and cafés. Designs were created and models and drawings produced to gain approval of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the Department of Cultural Affairs, the Economic Development Corporation, the Department of Transportation and other agencies.
The ferry terminal would undergo restoration and renewal of its above-ground appearance and structures and its below-water supporting construction. The theater's interior development would provide contemporary counterpoint to the cast-iron and glass construction. New mezzanine spaces would be created, views to the Bay would be opened up and light from the main skylight would be restored after having been blacked out in the 40's.
Funds for the program, to be derived from the sale of City development rights over the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, were unavailable after the collapse of the real estate market in the early 1990's.
Completed: 1996
Cost: $7.8 Million

From the event page:
Ask any well-read Lithuanian who completed high school after 2002 which work of literature they remember best from their studies and you are almost guaranteed to hear,
"Antanas Škėma's White Shroud – that's my favourite novel!"- says the introduction to the 'White Shroud'.
In order to acquaint yourself with this translated fiction book, published by a Scottish publisher Vagabond Press in 2018 please come to the series of bespoke evenings in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh of indie-folk music and readings. The evening is crafted in mind with and dedicated to the cult book 'White Shroud" by a Lithuanian avant-guarde writer from mid 20th century Antanas Škėma, who lived and worked in New York. Translated by Karla Gruodis 'The White Shroud' retains it's cult quality as the translation is superb.
As one of the most important progressive Berlin based dailies TAZ wrote about 'White Shroud' - "It's amazing how current this novel still feels. Škėma can be ironic and sarcastic, but also existentially serious and even sentimental. This novel is no simple singalong tune, but rather a highly polyphonic symphony; indeed, a polyphony that is a pleasure to experience." Jochen Schimmang, taz
In 'White Shroud' Škėma's multiple narratives and voices compose the stream-of-consciousness telling the story of an émigré poet working as an elevator operator in a large New York hotel during the mid-1950s. This polyphony of voices, dotted by Lithuanian folk songs in the series of events will be reflected and interpreted by the talented musicians Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė and Bert Cool from MEROPE band who promise put you in a some sort of trance, where boundaries between the here and now and there and then start to blur, revoking the melancholic existential context of the exile literature. Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė - Lithuanian kankles (zither) player and singer. Her music combines the traditions of her native land and the sounds of various cultures and contemporary styles. The quiet minimalism of Lithuanian folklore and creative improvisation of Indrė's music opened possibilities for successful international projects, including the folk indie band Merope and award winning duo 'Solo & Indrė' with Senegalese kora master Solo Cissokho. Bert Cools - guitar player and sound artist from Antwerp, Belgium, mainly active in the improvisation and electronic music scene of Europe. This duo of Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė and Bert Cools will be performing at an event dedicated to 'White Shroud'. Limited edition postcards designed by an artist and fashion designer Elena Guchas will also be exhibited.
Notes to editors:
Karla Gruodis is a translator, editor, and artist based in Vilnius, where she founded and edited Lithuania's first English-language newspaper, The Lithuanian Review, in 1990. She is the editor and author of Feminist Excursus: The Concept of Woman from Antiquity to Postmodernism (Pradai, 1995), and was active in the post-Soviet Lithuanian women's movement. Her translations include Leonidas Donskis's A Small Map of Experience: Aphorisms and Reflections (Guernica, 2013), Antanas Škėma's White Shroud (Vagabond Voices, 2018), Sigitas Parulskis's Darkness and Company (Peter Owen, 2018), and Irena Veisaitė/Aurimas Švedas's Life Should Be Transparent (CEU Press, forthcoming).
Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė - Lithuanian kankles (zither) player and singer, whose music harmoniously combines the traditions of her native land and the sounds of various cultures and contemporary styles. The quiet minimalism of Lithuanian folklore and creative improvisation of Indrė's music opened possibilities for successful international projects, including the folk indie band Merope and award winning duo 'Solo & Indrė' with Senegalese kora master Solo Cissokho. In Belgium Indrė is involved in alternative jazz projects "Book of Air: 'Fieldtone and vvolk', and her work is represented by the art platform 'granvat'. Recently Indrė joined the international early music ensemble ''Ratas del viejo Mundo'' leaded by lute player Floris de Rycker. As a creative and versatile performer Indrė can often be seen in jazz, folk, classical, choral, contemporary and alternative music festivals, playing as a solo artist or with different ensembles, and caught in the whirlwind of new ideas.
Bert Cools - guitar player and sound artist from Antwerp, Belgium, mainly active in the improvisation and electronic music scene of Europe. He plays as a solo artist, composes for his own bands: Merope, Hoera, Book of Air: vvolk and Fieldtone, also works with theater and multimedia projects. In 2010 he got Erasmus Jazz prize as the best musician from Codarts, Rotterdam. In 2011 together with his brother Stijn Cools he created the art platform granvat.com. With 'granvat' Bert found a unique space in the art world, ranging from folk and jazz to more cutting edge electronic music, producing various releases and events worldwide.

The Rapture
The Bible indicates that having proper doctrine is extremely important. It also shows that false doctrine can destroy and eat away at the body of Christ.
And their teaching [will devour; it] will eat its way like cancer or spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus, Who have missed the mark and swerved from the truth by arguing that the resurrection has already taken place. They are undermining the faith of some. (2 Timothy 2:17-18 AMP)
Hymenaeus and Philetus were teaching false doctrine in regards to the resurrection of the dead (which happens at the same time as the rapture, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). Paul states that false doctrine like this has a gangrene effect on the body of Christ. Gangrene is defined as: "localized death and decomposition of body tissue, resulted from either obstructed circulation or bacterial infection."
The point of his writing is to review what the scripture says in regards the the catching away (rapture). There is much confusion in the church on when the rapture will occur. This is a strategy by the enemy to keep Christians spiritually, mentally, and physically unprepared for the end times. The Jewish people misinterpreted the scripture regarding Jesus' first coming, and many paid a severe price. Those who misinterpret the timing of His second coming may pay a great price as well.
I want to note that I was not taught the view point that I have in the church. I had no indoctrination of any viewpoint before I read the scriptures. This understanding came through the Holy Spirit revealing the scriptures to me.
There has been a large debate in the church between whether the rapture will happen before the tribulation (pre-trib) or whether the rapture will happen after the tribulation (post-trib). This writing will contain a lot of scriptures in order to lay a proper foundation of when the rapture will occur.
The Last Day of the Age
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day." (John 6:40 NKJV)
In this passage Jesus is referring to the resurrection of the dead, which as stated above; happens at the same time as the catching away (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). Jesus also states that this event will happen on "the last day." Jesus is referring to the last day of the age. Then the new age will begin and Jesus will rule and reign on the earth for one thousand years.
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." (John 11:23-24 NKJV)
Martha was well aware of Jesus' teaching, and that the resurrection and catching away would happen on the last day. Martha did not say it would happen seven years from the last day. She did not say it would happen three and a half years from the last day. She stated it would happen on the last day.
As in the Days of Noah
And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left." And they answered and said to Him, "Where, Lord?" So He said to them, "Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together." (Luke 17:26-30, 34-37 NKJV)
The key to understanding this scripture is the question that is asked in verse 37. Where Lord? Or where are the people being taken? Jesus' response is key. Where the body is, the eagles or vultures will be gathered together. What do Eagles and vultures do? They gather around a corpse and eat its flesh. Job 39:27-30 makes it clear that eagles feed off of the slain. Jesus is speaking about the wicked that will be taken away; not caught up or raptured. The word used in this passage is not the word for being raptured. The word used is Paralambano, which simply means to take or taken. The word used for rapture is harpazo, and it means to catch away or to catch up. The people taken in Luke 17 are not being raptured. They are being taken to the place of the dead where eagles will eat their flesh. Just as it was in the days of Noah and the days of Lot. The wicked were taken away and destroyed. The righteous were kept safe by the hand of God protecting them on the earth. The Lord kept Noah and Lot from the hour of trial that had come upon the earth (Revelation 3:10). They were counted worry to escape and flee the things that were coming to pass (Luke 21:36).
Jude 14-15 is a direct quote from the Book of Enoch (chapter 1 verse 9). Because Jude quotes from Enoch chapter 1, we will take a look at another verse from Enoch chapter 1. Enoch 1:1-2 states, "The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed." The historical book of Enoch that Jude quoted from, makes it clear that the righteous will be living in the time of tribulation. It does not state that the righteous will be removed from the tribulation.
The Antichrist and the Great Tribulation
"Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand),
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:15, 21 NKJV)
The beginning of the great tribulation (or the final three and a half years of the age) is marked by the event called the abomination of desolation. Many believe that Paul is referring to this event when he describes the antichrist: "who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God (II Thessalonians 2:4 NKJV).
When the antichrist or beast is revealed, he will be given global authority for the final three and a half years of the age (42 months). His authority will be crushed by Christ's second coming at the end of the age (Revelation 19:19-21 and 2 Thessalonians 2:8).
And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:5-8 NKJV)
The Elect
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22 NKJV)
As we see in this scripture, the elect of God will be living in the days of the great tribulation. It does not matter to the elect in Heaven if the days are shortened for they are in the glory of God in Heaven. It does however matter greatly to the elect on the earth that the days are shortened. The word "elect" in the Greek means favorite, chosen, and elect. Now let us define who the elect are:
where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; (Colossians 3:11-12 NKJV)
This scripture is very clear that the elect of God are those who have Christ in them. It doesn't matter if one if Jew or Greek, but only if one has Christ. Believers are the elect.
Matthew 24
So the great tribulation begins in Matthew 24:21. We will now look at the end of the tribulation:
"But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. (Matthew 24:29-31 NASB)
This is one of the clearest scriptures on when the rapture will take place. Immediately after the tribulation. Not before the tribulation begins. Not three and a half years before the tribulation ends. Immediately after. The angels will gather God's elect (believers) from the four winds (all over the earth), who are in the sky. The elect are in the sky because they have been "caught up" or raptured.
Paul makes it clear that the saints will meet the Lord in the air at the time of the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:17). Job also indicates that the resurrection from the dead will not happen until the heavens are no more. Matthew 24 clearly shows that the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky after the tribulation. This is the time that the heavens are no more.
So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep. "Oh, that You would hide me in the grave, That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past, That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes. (Job 14:12-14 NKJV)
Paul also mentions the same "change" the Job does. Again this "change" occurs when the heavens are no more, after the tribulation.
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (I Corinthians 15:51-52 NKJV)
The Day of the Lord
We shall now exam what happens on "The Day of the Lord" according to the scripture: Behold, the day of the LORD comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine. (Isaiah 13:9-10 NKJV)
According to this scripture in Isaiah, the day of the Lord entails the stars not giving their light, the sun being darkened, and the moon not shinning. This fits the exact description of Matthew 24:29. So the scripture makes it clear that the Day of the Lord occurs after the tribulation.
Now we will examine 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 and 5:1-2. We will look at this scripture without a chapter break so we can capture the flow of what the Holy Spirit is saying through Paul: For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
This scripture must be read in context to get the full understanding of what Paul is saying. The catching up and the resurrection from the dead happen on the day of the Lord. Paul actually calls this event the day of the Lord. The sun is darkened, the moon does not give its light, and the stars fall from the heavens; also on the day of the Lord (according to the scriptures above). Jesus and Paul say that the elect/saints will be in the sky/air on the day of the Lord. And as Matthew 24:29 states, this occurs after the tribulation.
Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
This parable gives us another great insight on the timing of the rapture: Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?' He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' But he said, 'No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." ' " (Matthew 13:24-30 NKJV)
Jesus said that the tares (wicked sinners) could not be plucked up because it would uproot the wheat (righteous believers). The reverse is also true. If you pluck up (rapture) the wheat, then it would uproot the tares. Jesus then goes on to tell us when the uprooting of both the wheat and the tares will be: Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field." He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (Matthew 13:36-40 NKJV)
Jesus said that the tares and wheat must grow together until the time of the harvest. Then He goes on to say that "the harvest is the end of the age." Jesus doesn't say the harvest is seven years from the end of the age. Jesus doesn't say the harvest is three and a half years from the end of the age. The harvest is the end of the age. The wheat is gathered into the barn (rapture and resurrection), and the tares are burned with fire (hades) on the last day of the age at Christ's return.
There are a number of scriptures in the book of Revelation that prove Christians are on the earth during the tribulation. I will only list a few.
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?" And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Revelation 7:9, 13-14 NKJV)
These scriptures indicate that Christians from all over the world will go through and come out of the great tribulation.
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (Revelation 20:4-5 NKJV)
Again, this scripture clearly indicates that Christians will be martyred during the tribulation. The antichrist or beast is given global authority for three and a half years. This is what is referred to as the great tribulation. The final three and half years of this age in which the antichrist is permitted to overcome the saints (Revelation 13:7 and Daniel 7:25). Please note that the mark of the beast is only in place for the final three and a half years when the antichrist has control. This scripture shows that Christians will be on the earth during the time of the mark of the beast.
Ultimately it does not matter what I think will happen in regards to the rapture of the church. What matters is what the scriptures actually say. The scriptures listed in this writing should lead the reader to the truth. Study and search the scriptures to see if these things are so.

Granny Storm Crow's MMJ Reference List - January 2013
This document lists dozens and dozens, if not hundreds and hundreds, of conditions, with links to hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of studies.
From the (2012) opening page:
Well, here I am again, staring at this blank screen, trying to figure out what to say so you will share the information I have gathered. "Once the medical facts about cannabis become known, the need for legalization becomes obvious!" How many times have I said that? I need YOU to educate those around you. I can't do it alone!
At times, it seems so futile — this never-ending battle against ignorance about cannabis. But I can't give up - this simple herb has some amazing uses and people need to know what it can do.
Cannabis should be treated like any other medicinal herb, because that's what it is, […]
As Americans, we should be free to exercise our right to choose the type of medicines that we take. Anyone exhibiting the first signs of Alzheimer's should be able to choose between Aricept, Marinol, or natural cannabis to slow the deposit of mind-clogging amyloid plaque.
"When tested at double the concentration of THC, Aricept blocked plaque formation only 22% as well as THC, and Cognex blocked plaque formation only 7% as well as THC." (Marijuana May Slow Alzheimer's - WebMD, 2006 see more)
Marinol is just a capsule of a pure synthetic THC dissolved in sesame oil. It will work, but some people find that it causes anxiety because it lacks CBD (cannabidiol) to balance the THC high.
Natural cannabis has CBD and other cannabinoids in it, which act in a different way to slow the progress of Alzheimer's. ("Cannabidiol and other cannabinoids reduce microglial activation in vitro and in vivo: relevance to Alzheimer's disease" - Molecular Pharmacology, 2011 search) I know which I would logically choose, but in 2/3s of the US, and everywhere by federal law, that choice is forbidden to us. Our government has banned our best choice!

The Year of the Monkey is off to a bad start, with the Hang Seng sinking 3.9% in Hong Kong today. Investors are worried that China's economic problems may be deeper than previously thought. Mainland markets remained closed for the holiday.
Adding to monkey business concerns, Kyle Bass penned a letter to investors saying he thinks China's banks may face losses four times greater than those suffered by U.S. banks during the 2008 financial crisis. He thinks China eventually may have to print up to the equivalent of $10 trillion in yuan to recapitalize its banks, causing the Chinese currency to plunge more than 30 percent against the dollar. "What we are witnessing is the resetting of the largest macro imbalance the world has ever seen," Bass wrote. "Credit in China has reached its near-term limit, and the Chinese banking system will experience a loss cycle that will have profound implications for the rest of the world."
Bass has cred with investors because he correctly bet against the U.S. mortgage market in 2007. But not all his calls are so prescient. He wagered on a collapse in Japan's government bond market in 2010 – a bet that other bond investors later nicknamed "the widow maker." So take his warning with a splash of soy sauce.
For her part, Fed Chair Janet Yellen told Congress yesterday that there are good reasons to believe the U.S. economy will stay on a path of moderate growth that will allow the Fed to implement its plan for gradual increases in interest rates. But Yellen acknowledged that problems in China could impede economic growth.
