Samuel Stewart "Sam" Witwer (born October 20, 1977) is an American actor.
Early lifeEdit
Known to his friends as "Stew", Witwer grew up in Glenview, Illinois, a small suburb town of Chicago. There, he attended Glenbrook South High School and became involved in theater as well as becoming the lead singer in a band called "Love Plumber". After receiving marks that were less than satisfactory, Witwer later attended the Juilliard School for drama stating that it was the only school that accepted him on the fact that they didn't look at his transcripts.
Witwer's first on-screen credit was for a Chicago Bulls commercial. His first major role was Lt. Crashdown in science fiction show Battlestar Galactica. He also made an appearance on Dexter.
In 2003, Witwer made a appearance in Star Trek: Enterprise in the episode "The Shipment" as a Xindi Arboreal technician.
From 2008 to 2009, Witwer had been cast as Davis Bloome for the eighth season of Smallville.[1] His character was a charming paramedic that doubles as the show's incarnation of Doomsday. Although uncredited, he also portrayed Major Zod in the last scene of the Season eight finale while the character would be portrayed by British actor Callum Blue for the duration of the show's ninth season.
In 2010 he starred as a walker in the pilot episode of AMC's The Walking Dead.
From 2011 to 2014, Witwer portrayed the lead vampire Aidan in the Syfy Channel's remake of the BBC original series Being Human.
In 2016, he portrayed Mr. Hyde in the fifth and sixth season of the ABC series Once Upon a Time.
Star Wars workEdit
When Amy Beth Christenson's original concept art of Galen Marek looked strikingly like Sam Witwer, the vice president at the time noted the resemblance due to recognizing Witwer for Battlestar Galactica so he was contacted to audition.[2] From there, he became the complete basis for the main character's voice and appearance in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. His likeness was created through motion capture for the game to build the character's appearance and range of facial expressions. Witwer's performance was recorded on HD cameras (as were all the actors who worked on the game). While the game was in production, Witwer only knew his character as "Starkiller".[3] Witwer also voiced Galen Marek (known only as "The Apprentice") in Soulcalibur IV. Witwer returned to play Starkiller in the sequel Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. For this character, he served in the same capacity as before by providing his voice and likeness to the main character.[4] Witwer also voiced Palpatine in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and gave his voice and likeness to the imperfect genetic replicas and the Dark Apprentice in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.[4]
Afterwards, Witwer appeared on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series as the voices of the Son and Darth Maul.
Witwer took over voicing Palpatine from Tim Curry for the second season of Star Wars Rebels.
He voiced Maul in the season 2 finale of Rebels, and a few episodes for the third season.
Witwer voiced various characters in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, including several stormtroopers, an announcer and First Order officer.[5]
Witwer also provided additional voices in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Witwer voiced the characters of Darth Maul and Emperor Palpatine in the game Battlefront II.
Witwer provided the voice for Maul in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Witwer voiced the New Republic fighter pilot Hugh Sion for the premiere episode of Star Wars Resistance.
Witwer provided additional voices in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Witwer expressed an interest in being in the live-action TV series, presumably reprising his role as Galen Marek.[6]
Personal lifeEdit
Witwer is lead singer of the band The Crashtones. In addition to his work in Star Wars, he frequently competes in Star Wars trivia competitions.

Association in Switzerland
The PIMALI Association was created/founded in January 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland to offer professional and practical hospitality training to underprivileged young Thai living in the Nong Khai region, and to give them the opportunity for a professional future and financial independence.
Thai Foundation
A Thai Foundation has been settled in NongKhai, Thailand, in October 2014. The registration number is 0-993000332229.
No religion, no politics and no exclusivity
"Treat the other as you wish to be treated"
Stéphanie des Arts-Loup, 45, has dual Thai and Swiss nationality. A fluent Thai speaker, Stéphanie was educated in Switzerland but now lives in Thailand and works full time for PIMALI. Stéphanie is a qualified and registered dietician (Swiss Red Cross) and holds a Swiss Federal Diploma in Marketing. Having begun her career as a Brand Manager in the chocolate industry, Stéphanie was Director of International Marketing and Communication at a Geneva watch brand. She was then a member of the management team of a five star hotel in Switzerland. She also lead Public Relations and Events at a top range watch retailer in Geneva.
Alexandre des Arts, 48, has dual Swiss and German nationality. He has obtained a Master's degree in Law and an Executive MBA. After working in a bank in Geneva, Alexandre founded his own event company. As General Manager, he then directed a brand for L'Oréal, before developing an international franchise network. Alexandre currently works full time for the PIMALI project in Thailand.
The training center is located in north-eastern Thailand, in the Nong Khai region, a few kilometers from the border with Laos, close to the Mekong river. The exact location is Ban Kok Khong, Amphor Muang Nong khai – 43000 Nong Khai.
Nong Khai is located next to the poorest regions in Thailand and has very few vocational schools, especially for girls. Once they have completed compulsory school, the disadvantaged young Thai or orphans of the region start working in the fields or leave for the big cities in search of work. Because of their lack of educational qualification, these young people very often end up being exploited or having to resort to prostitution in order to survive.
On the other hand, tourism remains a steadily growing industry in Thailand and a qualified workforce with English language skills is constantly sought.

Pronunciation in speaking is a very important skill apart from Listening,Writing and Reading. The way you pronounce will be the first thing to impress someone you talk to. I'm sure everyone'll expect a smooth conversation with foreigners rather than being interrupted by "I beg your pardon?" when they can't understand you.
Unfortunately, we don't quite learn speaking skill and pronunciation much at school, do we? So I hope these few notes will help you realizeif anything's wrong with your current pronunciation and improve your speaking skill. A convenient thing about speaking skill is that you can practice it anytime, anywhere so "Keep Calm and Keep Practicing".
"Non Traditional English" – George T.Dragin
The first few things:
IAMBICS: in which a strong sound is followed by a weak sound: a long sound followed by a short sound.
To make things simple, "iambics" is the way you stress a word and read it with certain length. It's a bit like you're reading a poem.
Ex: diversion will be read as "đàiiiii verrrr sầnnnnn" (a little exaggerated here so you'll get the point).
A big mistake Vietnamese usually make is to speak too fast and too short. It's because our language has marks like " huyền, sắc, hỏi, ngã, nặng" so we don't have to stress the words. But English doesn't have marks so we must stress the words or the pronunciation will sound like a robot. Most people will probably pronounce diversion as"đai ver sần". It'll sound very flat and difficult for foreigners to understand.
LIAISON: The way the first sound of a word is affected by and connected to the final sound of the word before it.
This is the connections between words, it may sounds weird to us but it makes your speaking much better and more seamlessly. Ex: sounds_of_a word
RHYTHM:Pretty much self-explanation. In a sentence you must emphasize some words to demonstrate the main idea, in the whole sentence you have to go up and down while speaking too. Ex: Most questions will go up at the end of the sentences.
SYLLABLES: asingle unit of speech, either a whole word or one of the parts into which a word can be separated, usually containing a vowel
You should pronounce each syllables clearly Ex: water comprises "wa" and "ter", some special word like hour,honour… first "h" is muted.
To be continued…

The easiest way to sum up my feelings for the Mac app Timing is to state the obvious. I want Timings on my iPhone and iPad, too.
What does Timing do? It depends upon your perspective and your requirements. At the basic level of usage, Timing simply tracks the time you spend on your Mac, app by app, hour by hour, day by day. How can that possibly be worthwhile? It depends upon your perspective, but I call it like I see it. It's worthwhile.
Measure And Improve
A Mac user can look at Timing a number of ways. The one I prefer parallels the old adage, 'Performance measured is performance improved.' Athletes measure their performance and work to improve their results. So do those who make money in business. Measuring and tracking processes and progress can improve overall performance of almost anything.
Mac users rejoice. You're about to have your performance improved. The Timing app sits in the background and simply tracks the amount of time you use your Mac. Not just as a total, but as a sum of the parts, and of each of the parts.
For example, Timing can watch what you do and when and for how long in Safari, Chrome, Mail, Office, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and a whole bunch of different Mac apps. The results are easily viewed and understood.
Timing tracks each app as well as documents associated with the app. With a few clicks you can see how much time was devoted to each.
This is beneficial in a variety of ways. For example, if you bill your time to a client then Timing helps to record the time spent.
Another example is to see what employees are doing while using your Mac in a business environment. Check the stats visually by app, or use the built-in charting capability.
Finally, Timing is especially good at showing you what your Mac using time is devoted to so you can improve your own personal efficiency.
Wasting too much time browsing the web? Timing knows. Putting in too much time on answering email? Timing knows. I can see value in using Timing for professionals who normally have a timer for tasks and projects for their clients. Timing does it all in the background and automatically.
Built-in categories make it easier to use Timing but you may customize your own categories to get a more granular look at your Mac habits. It's a Mac App Store app, yes, but the developer has wisely provided a try-before-you-buy version so you can see how it works (10 days) on OS X Mavericks, Yosemite, and El Capitan.

What an exciting finish that was, with Spieth going wire to wire! For DraftKings, you went from having just 1% of getting 6/6 through at the U.S. Open to having close 30% of having 6/6 through for the Travelers. For me, I had 15/17 golfers making the cut and I managed to get 1 out of 3 GPP lines cashing and winning 2/6 h2hs for the week. My mistake was taking Charley Hoffman out of my cash lineup and going Z.J. who ended up missing the cut. Congrats to Spieth for his 10th victory on tour!
This Week
We are headed to Washington, D.C. for the Quicken Loans National. It's being played at TPC Potomac, which is a par 70 and 7,139 yards. This is going to be the first time this tournament has played here, so be mindful when looking at tournament history. With that being said, I'm just going to take course history out and just focus on the 3 stats that I look at every week and the player's recent form. Those 3 stats that I like to look at are B.O.B. %; G.I.R.; and Proximity.
Rickie Fowler (S12,000) – At the top, I'm going to pick probably the most popular play in this range and that is Rickie Fowler. Rickie has been on form all season long. He has made 2 out of 3 cuts in his last 6 weeks and he ended up finishing the top 5 in both cuts that he has made. For stats, he's probably the 2nd best player in the field for the 3 stats that I'm looking at. He's 2nd in the field for B.O.B.% (4th); 21st in the field for G.I.R. (32nd); and 18th in the field for Proximity. He would be my pick to win this week.
Brendan Steele ($8,900) – Steele has been my go to guy all season, and I see no signs of him slowing down. He has made his last 3 cuts, and he finished inside the top 15 in his last 2 starts. He is just behind Fowler when it comes to his ball striking. He's 5th in the field for B.O.B. % (17th); 26th in the field for G.I.R. (42nd); and he's tied for 11th in the field for Proximity (25th). If it wasn't for the next guy on the list, he would've been my dark horse.
Kyle Stanley ($7,600) – Here is probably the most popular play of the week. If not, then the 2nd most popular play for the week. Just like Steele, Stanley has become my go to golfer every week. His stats are best in the field. He's 7th in the field for B.O.B % (23rd); 1st in the field for G.I.R. (2nd); and 1st in the field for Proximity (2nd). With a top 10 back at the memorial and making 2 cuts after that, he is going to be my dark horse for this week.
Lucas Glover ($6,900) – So, there is a golfer just above Glover that everyone will be going towards this week, and that is good old C.H.3 at $7,000. With that, I'm going to give you one of my punt plays for this week. Even though Glover has missed his last 2 cuts, his stats are still solid and the fact that he's 44th in the FedEx cup, that is still good value, when Stanley is 38th in the FedEx cup and he's $700 more. Glover's 32nd in the field for B.O.B. % (60th); 5th in the field for G.I.R. (9th); and he's tied with Steele for Proximity (25th). With C.H.3 being right there for the taking, Glover could be overlooked and this could be a nice bounce back week for him to give you an edge in a gpp.
For exposure this week, I will recommend going 40-60%. If you like to play the multi entry GPPs, go around 40% for your core and choose about 20 more golfers to complete your player pool. For 3 entry max GPPs, choose the 4 players you like the most and rotate those 4 while adding about 6-8 more. That way, if your core hits, then you will have a really good chance of having a nice payday! Which, at the end of the day, is what we are all trying to achieve!
Good luck everyone!

It is a win win situation
Oct 07, 2016
Collaboration is the key to get us where we need to be. Our industry relies on all the elements to operate effectively. Farmers need processors and vice versa – so the solutions require all of us to come together to ensure a positive future. It is a win win situation.
It is one thing to constantly pick apart the industry to highlight the problems, it is another to actually work together to bring about real solutions
to ensure this never happens again.
Last week the Australian Dairy Farmers held an important meeting with state dairy organisation presidents and processors to address a range of contractual issues which farmer organisations have been trying to address and rectify for 15 years.
During the meeting we discussed a range of topics including the difficult circumstances of farm gate price reductions, the introduction of new legislation on unfair contracts which comes into effect in November and the outcomes from the August Symposium held by Deputy Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce.
This meeting provided an ideal opportunity for the dairy industry to unite and develop a voluntary industry wide code of practice on contractual arrangements with farmers.
The code will include:
- greater transparency in contracts and supply agreements
- ensuring a pricing formula or a price setting mechanism is clearly defined within a contract
- ensuring pricing adjustments to farmers throughout a contract are clearly defined and that there will be no retrospectivity
- while acknowledging step ups do occur and step downs have occurred in severe circumstances, a principle should be incorporated into contracts which clearly outlines that as much notice as possible is necessary if a step-down has to occur
- ensuring farmers should receive all payments that accrue over the term of a contract or supply agreement – the final payments of a contract should not be contingent on the farmer being a supplier when, for example, the June payment is made in mid-July
- ensure that where a processor has a contracted volume limit or a different price for volume above a particular level then exclusivity of supply to that processor must not occur
- ensuring there is a clearly defined mechanism for giving notice of termination of a contract
- ensuring there is a clearly defined mechanism of how contract terms and conditions can be modified and the farmer having the right to a negotiated variation, not simply a request from the processor.
Incorporating these principles into a code of conduct will give farmers, or their representative, the opportunity to have a contract or supply agreement which is truly negotiated and not simply an agreement which is a "take it or leave" it approach to farmer's milk supply arrangements.
The ADF together with the state member organisations have worked hard since the crisis unfolded to ensure future milk supply agreements are balanced, fair and transparent. It has been a long process to get to this stage and a major breakthrough for the entire industry.
State dairy farmer organisations have been working to achieve these improvements for many years. By having a national organisation which is well resourced the States can achieve things together that would be impossible to achieve on their own.
We plan on finalising the draft code as soon as possible, ahead of the new legislation and before the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission inquiry into the dairy industry is finalised next year.
Now more than ever, the dairy industry needs to remain focused and united in its goals to achieve a shared vision of improving the profitability and sustainability of dairy farmers and the entire dairy industry in Australia.
David Basham
Acting ADF President
The Difference is in the Detail
Sep 23, 2016
Over the last few days, New Zealand based Fonterra lifted its forecast milk payout for the second time. On Wednesday the estimated Farmgate price was boosted by a further 50 NZ cents to $NZ5.25, while the company maintained its dividend payout to farmers resulting in a total amount of $NZ5.75 to $NZ5.85 per kilogram.
Australian companies are between 10 – 20 per cent below New Zealand's latest forecast.
While Fonterra's announcement follows the increased global dairy prices at the Global Dairy Trade auctions, Australian farmers are still waiting for theirs. Although there are any number of reasons why we are behind New Zealand, it still makes for an interesting conundrum when Australia has a bigger domestic market and yet our prices remain unadventurously low.
This really highlights how volatile the world milk price is and why we need regular, clear and realistic market signals in Australia.
By establishing a commodity milk price index tool there will be greater transparency to allow farmers to make their own assessments on milk price forecasts. Farmers will be able to better balance risk along the dairy supply chain, especially when it comes to managing the effects of world milk prices.
New Zealand already has a milk price index and it works quite well, as they have over 90 per cent exports, and can set themselves against the world market.
In Australia we have a 65 per cent domestic market and a different export commodity mix which should deliver a higher price for Australian farmers than the New Zealand price in a low commodity market as we are in now. Therefore, Australia needs to have an independent commodity index rather than use New Zealand's due to our different export commodity mix.
ADF has had extensive discussions with government on the proposed index and we are looking forward to help shaping this important tool. It's vital we get this right so all farmers have the ability to use the global information to assist them when they negotiate supply contracts with processors.
The index needs to be independent and transparent with easily accessible data that isn't hard or complicated to use. It needs to be updated daily to capture the latest market intelligence from around the world and should translate commodity market and currency trends back to Farmgate prices across Australia. The index should also deliver a forward-looking price indicator to capture restored certainty and decision-making resulting in improved farmer confidence, better on-farm investment decisions, and ultimately higher farm profitability.
We have no doubt that our processors will increase their milk price forecast which is why we support the index and want to ensure it is a true indicator of commodity prices and meets the requirements of the Australian dairy industry as a whole.
The index will also give farmers the tool to better understand the impacts of world market trends and to be better armed with questions of the company they supply.

Global Milk Prices Are On The Rise
Sep 09, 2016
Recent data on global dairy prices shows a positive rise that looks as if it might continue.
The average price in the Global Dairy Trade auction overnight rose by 7.7 per cent. This followed two consecutive rises in the past month, with a 12.7
percent increase in prices at the most recent auction, while the important whole milk powder (WMP) price rose by 3.7 per cent.
These results have driven the index to an 18 month high.
Analysts are predicting further rises in the global milk price which suggests that the worst might be behind us and we may start to see some stability return to the global milk supply. This will hopefully occur through rebalancing of supply and demand due to cut backs in EU production, intervention buying of SMP (skim milk powder) in Europe and increased buying in China.
Although these increases are nowhere near enough to return to sustainable prices it is pleasing to see that prices are on the rise and things may be looking better in the long term.
Unfortunately, the most optimistic scenarios see the market turning in any meaningful way in the first quarter of 2017.
As dairy farmers we have a limited capacity to manage the market price so it is important to always focus on what we can manage, remain aware of industry risks and maintain a low cost production system so we are in a better position to weather any storms.
While we are an industry that has been under intense pressure, we are also an industry that has the know-how and resilience to overcome adversity and thrive in the long term.
ADF, together with our state members, is continuing to fight for farmers. Even though we won't be able to solve all of the issues farmers are facing, we are working to relieve some of the pressures to create change to ensure that an unfair share of the risk in the value chain is not taken by the farmer and that recent events in the industry don't happen again.
Collaboration is the key to get us where we need to be. Our industry relies on all the elements to operate effectively. Farmers need processors and vice versa – so the solutions require all of us to come together to ensure a positive future.
While we wait for the uptick in prices we must remember that we are a resilient industry with a long, sustainable future ahead and our profitability depends greatly on the continued support of the Australian public.
It is important to remind the community that dairy farmers – regardless of the challenges they face are good business people, who care for their cows, work to enhance the well-being of their people and that every efficiency we make on farm has ties to minimising our impact of the environment.

Making Sense of the ACCC Inquiry
Sep 02, 2016
The symposium was a great opportunity to facilitate a discussion around how better to manage risk along the dairy supply chain, including managing the effects of world dairy prices.
A number of topics were covered including the outlook for the Australian dairy industry and options for improving milk price transparency, strengthening
bargaining and restoring industry confidence.
One important outcome of the symposium was the announcement by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources Barnaby Joyce regarding the upcoming Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) inquiry into the national dairy industry.
The inquiry under Part VIIA of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, has provided the Commission with additional powers to obtain information from the entire value chain. What this means is the ACCC has been given extra investigatory control to undertake the inquiry, with the authority to dig deeper than it would have been able to in a market study.
Already investigating specific issues related to the dairy crisis, the ACCC will have the power to determine whether suppliers engaged in misleading, deceptive or unconscionable conduct by slashing prices leaving some dairy farmers with massive debts.
The inquiry will investigate sharing risk along the supply chain, supply agreements and contracts, competition, bargaining and trading practices in the industry and the effect of world retail prices on profitability.
Dairy farmers deserve fair returns at the farm gate, as well as transparency in milk price arrangements and supply contracts. ADF believes that the ACCC inquiry is a thorough and fair way to uncover inefficiencies and inequities that farmers face; and helps to identify a way forward.
From what we have been told the ACCC will release an issues paper and engage with stakeholders through public and private hearings starting in November. We encourage everyone in the dairy industry to contribute to the inquiry to ensure the ACCC gets the information it needs. There will also be confidentiality arrangements in place to protect commercial interests.
After the stakeholder engagement meetings, we will be encouraged to provide written submissions to the ACCC before they deliver a final report to government in the second half of 2017.
This inquiry will shed some light on the bigger picture by analysing the broader dairy industry to identify structural and behavioural issues that affect the industry's performance. By engaging with stakeholders, the ACCC will have a better chance of identifying and understanding the key issues in the industry and we look forward to being a part of the solution.
Further information about the inquiry, including about how you can be involved, will be made available following the receipt of a Terms of Reference from the Treasurer.
The government will continue to work with dairy farmers and processors to strengthen the industry, including our election commitment of up to $2 million to establish a commodity milk price index, while the ACCC's findings from this inquiry will be a vital source of information when looking at options for the index.
Further information on the ACCC's inquiry, including its terms of reference, will be made available at www.accc.gov.au/agriculture shortly.

Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs) are immune-mediated chronic and often relapsing inflammatory diseases that target the optic nerve and spinal cord. These disorders affect individuals at any age, although middle-aged and older women are most commonly affected; 40 years of age appears to be the average age of onset. NMOSDs are often mistaken for multiple sclerosis (MS) because of overlapping symptoms (eg, optic neuritis and transverse myelitis), but can be differentiated by clinical course, the presence and extent of lesions in the brain and/or spinal cord, optic neuritis, and the presence of aquaporin-4 receptor (AQP4) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) IgG autoantibodies. Treatment strategies for NMOSDs and MS differ: NMOSDs require immunosuppressive therapy or plasmapheresis and MS requires immune-modulation therapy. Some MS therapies can aggravate NMOSDs, so early diagnosis is essential.

TPM Parking Woes sign now
If you Google TPM Parking, you will receive numerous hits on mismanagement of parking within the TPM vicinity. This is not something new. This is a problem that has been around for many years. Those whom have been working within TPM vicinity could relate to this:
a) exorbitant parking fees
- RM3.00/day for open space parking
- RM 2.50/hour for multi-storey parking (which are limited)
- RM50/month for open space parking
- RM 120/month for multi-storey parking (which are limited)
- RM 150/month for basement parking (which are full)
b) lack of security
- cars being stolen
- cars broken into
- vandalism of vehicles parked within the vicinity
c) inconvenient parking locations and insufficient parking spots
- the legal parking spots are limited to few locations; average distance from office is 1km walk
- illegal parking lots are open to cars along the roadsides; poses danger to the cars
- some illegal roadside parking lots are about 4km distance from office locations
d) shuttle vans
- although shuttle vans are provided to users, it is not convenient as a van can only accommodate limited number of passengers
- the shuttles timing are not regular to certain parking spots
- shuttles end at certain hours, posing danger to women and men walking to collect their cars at the parking lots
e) others
- no dedicated parking lots for disabled, pregnant mothers, elderly etc
- unreasonable and irresponsible clamping of cars. TPM claimed that all cars parked within the vicinity will be clamped if parking fees are not duly paid. However, parking lots that they are providing does not fit for purpose, ie: illegal roadside
- rude and slacking security guards: some of the tenants were treated disrespectfully by the guards
- TPM parking coupons are sold at certain area, creating inconveniences to tenants
This petition is meant to put pressure to TPM management and provide its tenants reasonable and proper parking services:
a) reduce the parking fees to RM1/day
b) increase shuttle vans to all parking locations

The Return of Isa Al-Masih
Islam and Christianity share the belief that Isa bin-Maryam lived on this earth and was taken into heaven alive. One day that very same Isa will return to this earth. Among Muslims this event is known as "Nuzul-i-Isa" – the descent of Jesus. However, popular Muslim traditions assert that when He comes back, He will convert the world to Islam, destroy the Antichrist, marry and have children. Later He will die and be buried in a grave next to Muhammad in Medina.
Though there are many narrations of Jesus' return in the traditions of Islam. The Qur'an, the first hand authority for Muslims, has only one verse to this effect: "And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgement): Therefore have no doubt about the (Hour) but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way." (Surah 43:61).
The Biblical narrative
Christians are fortunate to find a major part of the New Testament directly concerned with Christ's Second Coming. Isa al-Masih and His return as Judge is one of the major themes. Nevertheless, there is no mention of Him coming as an ordinary being, nor is there the least suggestion that He will marry, die and be buried. The Scriptures indicate that when He comes, His people, both the living and the dead, will be raised and changed, and then will meet Him in the air, after which the earth will be destroyed (1 Thessalonians 4: 15-17; 1 Corinthians 15: 50-54; 2 Peter 3:10).
On many occasions, Isa al-Masih said that He came down from heaven and that He would come again (John 3:13; 8:23; 14:2-3, 18-19; 16:28; Matthew 25:31-32; 26:64). This Second Coming is to be different from the first time Hazoor came as a baby. His coming will be as the Mighty Judge and conquering King (2 Thessalonians 1: 6-10). This reassuring news and the final reminder is found in the last chapter of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done" (Revelation 22:12).
His identity on his Return
Some groups, like the Ahmadiyya and the Bah'ai, believe that the lives of their founders were the Second Coming of Christ. Other groups, like the Jehovah's Witnesses, believe that Jesus came back at the turn of this century and took the elect with him. However, the Bible reveals that His Second Coming will not be a secret one. Nor will it be like His first coming. When the apostles saw Hazoor ascending into heaven, the angels told them, "This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven (Acts1: 11).
Muslim friends have various ideas about the physical descent of Jesus. Some say He will land on the Ka'aba, others claim that He will land on the minaret of the Umayyad mosque in Damascus, yet others think He will descend in Jerusalem. Whether He is coming to Jerusalem, Damascus or Mecca, one has to think carefully where He is coming from! If He is coming from heaven, then this coming will not be an ordinary one, and He will have a heavenly body, not an ordinary body like ours. The Bible declares that He is coming in heavenly splendour. He will come in all His glory and power (2 Thessalonians 1:7). Jesus said, "as lightning that comes from the East is visible even in the West", so will be His coming. In simple words, His coming will be visible to everyone (Matthew 24:27). His first coming took place in obscurity, but His Second Coming will be universally visible. His coming will be so dramatic that no one will fail to recognise him (Matthew 24:30; Acts 1:9-11).
The Purpose of His coming
At His first coming, Jesus became like us in every respect, to deliver us from the power of Satan (John 1:18; Hebrews 2: 14-17). He came to conquer sin and rise from the dead to gain victory and triumph. At His Second Coming, we are going to see Him as He really is, in majesty and power (1 John 3:2).
The mission that Isa al-Masih had left to His Church to perform and proclaim His Gospel to the world will terminate at His Second Coming. He will uproot evil and enthrone righteousness forever. He will establish eternal peace. Although it is right to campaign for social justice and peace to improve society, the Bible makes it clear that we will never be able to perfect it. Only Christ at His Second Coming will fulfil it.
The Time of His coming
The Bible speaks clearly about the unexpectedness of His return. About the day of His return, Jesus advised us all not to speculate, because no one knows the date but God (Mark 13:32). All that we have to do is to be ready and prepared for his return. Hazoor said that He would come when people did not expect Him. So often critics consider the idea of Jesus' Second Coming as naïve: "They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation" (2 Peter 3:4). Jesus has answers to such ridicule. He will come unexpectedly. He said His coming would be as unexpected as the Flood in the time of Noah (Matthew 24: 37-41). People were told about it, but they did not believe it. Then it arrived and it was too late. Today everyone has the opportunity to believe in Isa al-Masih now and act as He has commanded (2 Peter 3: 9; Acts 2: 37-38). When He comes back it will be too late.

One of my auto buddies lent me a brake fluid tester. It's essentially a conductivity meter that indicates the concentration of water in the brake fluid. It actually seems to work and it's not very expensive. While testing the DeLorean, the brake reservoir indicated OK with less than 1%. But when I tested the clutch reservoir, it really lit up. Made sense because I flushed the brake system when I put in a new master about a year ago, but I have never touched the clutch system. So now I'm reading the various threads about the clutch master/slave. It looks like a PITA but doable. My concern has to do with a tech page comment (see link below):
One other thought . When is the last time the fluid was changed, and when was the last time the master and slave cylinder was changed? If it has been a long time, in about 3 months after you flush the fluid one or both of those cylinders will start to leak. New fluid seems to have that effect on a car where it has not been changed for a while.
Is this pretty accepted wisdom ... that if you flush a clutch system that has not been maintained, the master and slave will begin leaking in a few months? It looks to be an even larger PITA to replace the clutch slave, hence my dilemma and concern.

3 Giant Money Mistakes Keeping You Poor
There are all sorts of bad money moves we make. While in the moment we don't think the mistakes have that large of an impact on our finances, they really do. When you keep making the money mistakes over and over again, they have the potential to completely mess up and derail your finances. How do you overcome these big money mistakes?
First you have to learn what they are. In this post are 3 big ones that many people make today. If you find yourself making these money mistakes, follow the advice to correct them sooner rather than later so that they don't have that big of a negative impact on your financial life.
3 Big Money Mistakes Keeping You Poor
#1. Chasing Yields
Certificates of deposits and savings accounts are yielding squat today. I remember back in the early 2000's when I was getting 5% from my online bank for my savings account. Now I'm excited if I see 1%.
Since I am young, the low interest rates don't affect me too much when compared with senior citizens who many rely on bond interest and certificate of deposit interest to supplement their incomes.
Because of the low yields, many investors are chasing higher yields. You see ads in magazines and newspapers all of the time and on TV and radio as well.
In most cases the advertisement doesn't correctly mention the risks involved with the higher yields. When it comes to investing, you always have to remember that the higher the return (yield) the higher the risk.
If everyone is offering you products that yield 2% and someone comes out of nowhere offering 6%, the alert that something is wrong should be going off in your head. You need to figure out how much risk you would be assuming if you invested in that product. Don't let the salesman try to convince you that there is little to no risk, because there is a lot of risk.
In fact, the Securities and Exchange Commission has warned about the huge increase in phony high-yield investments recently. Again, remember that a higher return means you are taking on more risk of possibly losing money.
If you want a good yield on your savings, check out CIT Bank. They pay one of the highest interest rates in the country on savings accounts. You can sign up using this link to start growing your wealth faster!
#2. Going Into Debt To Send Kids To College
You want the best for your children. Maybe you never went to college so you want to make certain that your kids have that opportunity. The reality is that they do have that opportunity, regardless if you go into tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt to fund it or not.
Make certain your child understands how much certain schools cost and how much you can afford. Then explain to them how much money they will have to repay if they take out loans in order to afford the high priced school.
Starting out at a community college for two years and then transferring to a four year school is a great option that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Another option is to apply for all of the financial aid you can get along with grants and scholarships.
Finally, check out state universities. The prices are more reasonable and many are ranked highly in the annual college rankings.
It is important to save for your child's education, but make sure you are taking care of yourself first. There are no loans for retirement. And if you think that you will just live poor, think again.
In most cases, your now adult child will step in and assist you. So if money is tight for them, you just made it tighter by going into so much debt to send them off to college.
Going to college is important, but not so much so that you ruin your financial life over.
If you have student loans, be sure to look into refinancing them so you can save some money. You can get an idea of how much you can save for free by clicking here.
#3. Taking Social Security Early
I have many years to go until I can collect Social Security. But when I do, I am going to try to put off taking it as long as possible. That is assuming it is still around!
The reason is because the longer you delay taking it, the higher your monthly check is going to be. Likewise, the earlier you take it, the less your monthly check is.
When Social Security was introduced, it was to help you financially for the few years you had in retirement. Fast forward to today, and we are living well into our 80's and 90's. This means you are going to need more money for a longer period of time because you will be in retirement for a longer time. You certainly don't want to run out of money when you are 75.
But by taking Social Security early, you run that risk. When you factor inflation into the equation, your monthly check that covers the bills now might not cover them in 5-10 years.
Delaying Social Security helps reduce the chances of you running out of money as you age into your 80's and 90's.
Final Thots
These are just a few money mistakes that people make. Do you make any of them? If so, make sure you correct them as soon as possible so you can have a stronger financial foundation.
The sooner you can correct any money mistakes you made, the less negative impact they will have on your finances and the sooner you can start growing your wealth.

College Pressure
William Zinsser
I am master of Branford College at Yale. I live on the campus and know the students well. (We have 485 of them.) I listen to their hopes and fears -- and also to their stereo music and their piercing cries in the dead of night ("Does anybody care?"). They come to me to ask how to get through the rest of their lives. Mainly I try to remind them that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don't want to hear such news. They want a map -- right now -- that they can follow directly to career security, financial security, social security and, presumably, a prepaid grave. What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip of the future. I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the world. My wish, of course, is naive. One of the few rights that America does not proclaim is the right to fail. Achievement is the national god, worshipped in our media -- the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive -- and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old. I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It's easy to look around for bad guys -- to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no bad guys, only victims. Today it is not unusual for a student, even one who works part time at college and full time during the summer, to have accumulated $5,000 in loans after four years -- loans that the student must start to repay within one year after graduation (and incidentally, not all these loans are low-interest, as many non-students believe). Encouraged at the commencement ceremony to go forth into the world, students are already behind as they go forth. How can they not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? Women at Yale are under even more pressure than men to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society hasn't yet caught up with this fact. Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined. I see students taking premedical courses with joyless determination. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know them in other corners of their life as cheerful people. "Do you want to go to medical school?" I ask them.
"I guess so," they say, without conviction, or, "Not really." "Then why are you going?"
"My parents want me to be a doctor. They're paying all this money and ..." Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also...
