I learned something devastating last week, and it was not what I wanted to hear.
There is no such thing as Irish Mythology. It doesn't exist.
Truth hurts, right? I wanted to crawl into a hole and cry. I actually want there to be some possible reality in heroes like Cuchulainn and Fionn mac Cumhall; in great ancient kings like Cormac mac Airt and Nuada of the Silver Hand, and in powerful women like Medb. I want the tales of Druids and magic and battles and tragic love to be based on some elusive fact. Not only do they help me escape from the horrors and hardships of the modern day world, but in looking back, those stories give me hope for the future: they tell us that even in dark times, there is a light in humanity that still shines. And that elusive quality, like mist drifting over still water, is what draws me in… I lost myself in that mist, and drowned in that water, and it was like swimming in wine… my favourite white sparkly kind! 😋
So what do we have, then? Those stories must come from somewhere.
What we have is a bunch of texts written during the medieval ages. Whilst they may be masterpieces in themselves, and they truly are, there is no evidence that they are anything more than the fiction of talented and imaginative medieval writers.
Think about it: those stories were written down between six and nine hundred years after the events they tell were supposed to have taken place. What did medieval scribes know about the Iron age? They had no books or writings from the peoples of that time, no archaeology to give them an insight. All they had was their imaginations.
I know what you're thinking; what about the oral tradition these stories were copied from?
We have no evidence that such an oral tradition existed. Even if it did, and non-literate societies all have an oral tradition, so more than likely it did exist, but even so, we still have no evidence. We can make assumptions, but assumptions are not reliable, they are just guesswork.
And, as my lecturer explained, anthropological studies in non-literate communities in Africa, for example, have shown how stories from the oral tradition are subject to change, not only from one re-telling to another, or embellished in the individual style of each storyteller, but altered in quite monumental ways, from one generation to the next. If you ever played the game of Chinese Whispers as a child, you will know exactly what this means; words that are not recorded in some physical way are subject to distortion. It's inevitable.
We cannot assume that these medieval scribes were fixing these spoken words in ink on vellum. It is quite likely that they were, but there is no evidence of that. What we have are faded manuscripts written by medieval scribes collected into ancient books preserved by subsequent generations and interpreted as history.
Even as late as the 1980s and 1990s, scholars believed that these texts offered a 'window on the Iron age'. No one looked at them critically. But since then, a new way of thinking has developed. Archaeologists' findings do not support the view that these medieval texts are describing the Iron age, and this has made people look more closely at the medieval writings. What they found was that these texts actually reflect medieval society; more than likely, they are commenting on their own society, but setting events in what they believe, or imagine, the Iron age to be like.
But why? Why would they do this?
Perhaps it was safer to criticize society by displacing it, and setting it in an earlier, far distant time. Perhaps it is pure imagination, or speculation. Perhaps they wondered what Ireland was like before Christianity and civilization came and saved it. Maybe they wanted to show how tough and dangerous life was then. Maybe they just wanted to tell a good story. We just don't know.
Maybe I should close this blog, get my coat, and go home.
But all is not lost, for I am the Guardian of Irish Mythology, remember?
In Celtic and Irish Medieval Studies at the moment, we are reading the 1st rescension of the Táin Bó Cúailnge, the Cattle Raid of Cooley, probably the most famous and well scrutinized of all tales of Irish mythology. It's crazy-mad stuff, and I love it! I do wonder if these scribes were high on magic mushrooms when they were writing… perhaps that's something a few of us modern writers should try. LOL!
Anyway, as you will know if you have been following this blog, Queen Medb is made out to be something of an egotistical, battle-crazed, irrational harlot who goes to war over possession of a big brown bull, just to prove a point to her husband, which is that she is just as equal as he in terms of wealth.
This story does not show women, particularly powerful ones, in a very flattering light. Medb consistently makes irrational decisions and judgements throughout the story and is rescued each time by the logic of her male companions, such as her husband, Aillil, and her lover, Fergus.
As my lecturer says, this story is designed to prove that women make bad leaders in battle, and bad Queens in general, that the female mind is incapable of strategy, logic, wisdom etc.
I don't deny the story does this… it's obvious. But I wonder why, in the Christian world of medieval Ireland, where women had been living a subservient and domestic role in society for hundreds of years, why was this message necessary? Women did not hold military power, and Queens were such in name only, usually through marriage. What was happening in the wider medieval period which necessitated the reinforcement of this message concerning a woman's proper place?
Medb is given an inglorious death (click to read my post on 5 Weirdest Hero Deaths); she is killed by a cheese (yes, a cheese!) hitting her on the head while she is vulnerable and unprotected, just a weak and unaware woman bathing in a lake. A fitting end for the terrible Queen?
Could the Táin really have come from the tattered remains of a much older, perhaps popular, story after all, in which a Queen really did lead a battle? Was it taken and manipulated by medieval scribes to show that no; women make terrible leaders and should never be allowed such power? There is no evidence, so in my new guise as a student, I should not even be suggesting this. But I'm going to anyway.
The earlier part of my course focused on archaeology of the peoples labelled as 'Celtic' who lived in central Europe. We looked at the evidence of burials under huge mounds, particularly , at the most high status burials. Among them there are burials of women which clearly show they are of very high status indeed, equivalent to their male counterparts at the time; the burial of the 'Princess' at Vix, for example, and the chariot burials of women at Wetwang (video) in Yorkshire.
These are Iron age female burials, but they are not Irish Iron age female burials. However, they do indicate that some women could rise to power and hold as much wealth as men at that time.
I see no reason then to doubt that Ireland could have had its own powerful Queens during the Iron age, and if it did, undoubtedly there would have been stories circulating about her. Many of them may have been lost, perhaps deliberately, as they did not describe the ideal Christian woman. Others, such as the Táin, may have been retained, and 'adapted' to teach the true nature of a woman, and her proper place.
I'm just a newbie student at the beginning of my studies, but I think you know by now that I don't just accept what I'm told, I question it. I'm quietly taking all this new information in, and digesting. The cogs are whirring, albeit loudly and rustily. I have no evidence to support that last paragraph, but I'm sure going to look for some.
By the way, scholars who believe that the medieval texts do in fact refer to the Iron age are called 'nativists'; those who don't are called 'antinativists'. Apparently, people get quite passionate and heated during conferences and debates, even leading to fisticuffs! Who knew mild-mannered and studious bookish people and scholars could get so aggressive over their points of view? A little bit of the spirit of Cuchulainn still lives on in those who study him, I guess. 😂

A licensed practical nurse, or LPN, provides direct patient care. She assists patients with daily activities, takes and records vital signs such as blood pressure and temperature, administers oral and injected medications and monitors patients for changes in behavior or physical symptoms. An LPN in Pennsylvania typically makes a similar salary to the national average salary for this occupation, but pay varies depending on the city.
All states, including Pennsylvania, require LPNs to be licensed to practice. To become licensed, the prospective nurse must graduate from an approved school program for practical nursing, which usually lasts one year. She also must pass the National Council Licensure Examination-Practical Nurse. Employers typically require LPNs to be certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR.
Salary Range
The median salary for LPNs nationwide as of January 2011 was $41,190, according to Salary.com. Those in the middle 50 percent of the salary scale were making $37,660 to $44,940. The bottom 10 percent of LPN salaries were below $34,460, and the top 10 percent were making more than $48,350.
LPN salaries in Pennsylvania vary by city. Those in Scranton, for instance, had a median annual salary of about $38,450 in January 2010, while LPNs in Philadelphia were earning a median salary close to $44,000 per year. LPNs in Altoona had a median salary of $38,750, in Pittsburgh $39,660, in Erie $39,770 and in Harrisburg $40,610. LPNs in the bottom 10 percent of earnings were making less than $32,170 per year, and those in the top 10 percent were earning at least $51,630 per year. Those in the middle 50 percent of the earnings scale had salaries of $35,150 to $47,990.
The job search website Indeed.com lists more than 1,400 jobs for LPNs in Pennsylvania in January 2011. Positions typically are available in nursing homes, long-term care facilities, retirement communities, rehabilitation centers, mental health services centers, hospitals, medical centers and autism schools. Posted hourly pay rates range from $13.74 to $28. Full-time and part-time jobs are available on a variety of shifts, as well as per diem, or as-needed positions. Full-time LPN jobs typically provide health, dental, vision and prescription insurance benefits. They also provide a 401k or other savings plan, an employee assistance program and paid holidays, vacation and personal days. Some employers offer tuition reimbursement for continuing education and reimbursement for uniform purchases.

Lawrence A. Klein, "Sensor and Data Fusion: A Tool for Information Assessment and Decision Making"
English | 2004 | 342 Pages | ISBN: 0819454354 | PDF | 5 MB
This book describes the benefits of sensor fusion as illustrated by considering the characteristics of infrared, microwave, and millimeter-wave sensors, including the influence of the atmosphere on their performance, sensor system application scenarios that may limit sensor size but still require high resolution data, and the attributes of data fusion architectures and algorithms. The data fusion algorithms discussed in detail include classical inference, Bayesian inference, Dempster-Shafer evidential theory, artificial neural networks, voting logic as derived from Boolean algebra expressions, fuzzy logic, and detection and tracking of objects using only passively acquired data. A summary is presented of the information required to implement each of the data fusion algorithms discussed. Weather forecasting, Earth resource surveys that use remote sensing, vehicular traffic management, target classification and tracking, military and homeland defense, and battlefield assessment are some of the applications that will benefit from the discussions of signature-generation phenomena, sensor fusion architectures, and data fusion algorithms provided in this text.

The winter chill is soon to melt into the warm breezes of spring, which means it's almost time to start spring cleaning duties! But spring cleaning isn't just good for your house and family, it's also a great practice for your business.
Just like knick-knacks and dust bunnies in our living room, we accumulate things in our business that we don't necessarily need, and are sometimes even detrimental to our health. Come springtime, it's time to sweep them out from under the couch and out the door!
But it's not quite springtime yet, you say. And that's true. However, you can start planning for spring cleaning now so the actual act is much easier when the weather turns.
Pinpoint Weak Spots
One of your first tasks in preparation for spring cleaning is to find exactly where you're running a little short with your business. If there's something you feel is holding you back, take a look if you really need it. If not, toss it out with the dust bunnies.
For instance, it's easy to get bogged down with unnecessary paperwork or clients who aren't really worth your time. We get stuck in rituals that make us nervous to break out of, as if our business will fall apart without them.
Guess what? It won't. That one client that you spend so much time on but hardly pays you? Time to dump them. The weekly reports nobody pays any attention to and doesn't seem to help anybody with their tasks? Get rid of them. Streamlining the process can mean great things if you just give it a try.
Of course spring cleaning isn't just about throwing stuff out the door – it's also about organizing your life! Now that you've gotten rid of some stuff in your business, it's time to get everything else in order.
You're bound to have thought at some point over the year that parts of your company need to be more of a well-oiled machine. It can be accounting, customer service, social media, public relations, whatever – if it's not up to par, time to get it going again.
Social media in particular can easily be reorganized to be more efficient. Are you still manually logging in to your separate accounts on Facebook and Twitter and posting from there? Download a client like Tweetdeck or get an account at CoTweet and start doing everything from one platform. This cuts down on time and energy and frees you up for other tasks.
Also, if you're scouring the Internet looking for material every morning for your Twitter feed, take some time to get your Google Reader feed under control. Organize each blog or news feed in order of client or importance so when you need an interesting link to send out you don't have to search for thirty minutes.
How do you usually spring clean your business?

It's the gays, of course:
"God has given us an enormous amount of proof, like the gay pride movement and the extraordinary amount of wickedness in the world," the 89-year-old founder of the Family Stations Christian radio network recently told SF Weekly's Alan Scherstuhl.
That belief might explain why Camping authored a paper...last year titled "Gay Pride: Planned by God as a Sign of the End."
..."The world-wide success of the Gay Pride/Same Sex Marriage movement is a dramatic sign provided by God to warn the world that the world is on the threshold of Judgment Day," he wrote.
Camping cites Sodom and Gomorrha as an example of biblical cities that were destroyed by God for homosexual behavior.
Case closed? Here's a saner, less hate-filled theological perspective:
Iliff School of Theology Professor Miguel De La Torre told The Colorado Independent that the suggestion gay pride was a sign of doomsday makes the story even more dangerous. "To say that the world will end because of God's wrath with a particular group of people is really a throwback to the darkest part of our culture," he said.
"I do not see anything in the Bible that condemns loving relationships between same-gender adults. God is not displeased by any loving relationship between two adults. This seems to be based more on cultural biases than any Biblical text."
Prof. De La Torre's last point is the same one made by Rep. Steve Simon (D-MN) as he criticized Minnesota Republicans for passing an initiative to place a constitutional amendment before voters to restrict marriage to heterosexuals.
Camping's last doomsday prediction in 1994 was clearly wrong. With that in mind, let me reassure my regular readers that I plan to post my weekly "Saturday Night at the Liberal Curmudgeon" musical feature on May 21.

Paintings featured in the coffee table book '100 Artists of the West II'
'All the Garden's a Stage: Choosing the Best Performing Plants for a Sustainable Garden', released in May of 2012 is Jane's whimsical book on gardening. It compares creating a garden with putting together a theatrical production -- casting characters (plants), designing the stage (landscape) and setting up systems to create the show. Jane uses a lifetime of experience "painting with plants" as a landscape designer, her years of writing (including gardening columns for magazines and newspapers) and her cartoon illustrations to make learning about gardening entertaining.

AFAICT there is an undocumented attribute available on the https connector called keyAlias that should allow you to change this.

The team announced Tuesday that Razov will have surgery on his right ankle to remove bone spurs and debris. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Preston Wolin at St. Joseph Hospital. Rehabilitation is expected to last three to four months.
Razov, 30, suffered the injury July 3 against the Columbus Crew and has missed the last five MLS games plus two Open Cup matches. He had four goals and two assists in 13 games this season, his seventh with the Fire.
A two-time All-Star, Razov is one of just four remaining charter members of the club. He has 77 goals and 38 assists in 161 career games. He was the first player in franchise history to record a hat trick and was a member of the Fire's MLS champions in 1998.

Digidesign Session Multitrack Recording Software (part 9)
Thursday January 01, 2004
Pros and cons.
- Scrolling display
- Two band EQ on each track
- Sync points within segments
- Accurate trigger sync
- The windows dont tile neatly even on a large screen.
- No audio scrub.
- Slightly sluggish in response to mouse commands.
- Requires 16 megabytes of RAM.
Very capable and adequately polished for new software (and it is new, even if it does claim to be version 2.0). Some details need improving but it will do useful work from day one.

|Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:05:00 GMT
Hi, As of now APR only supports interprocess locks and shared memory. I'd like to add interprocess semaphores and read/write locks to APR, but I only know how to do this on Linux/Windows. Is there any interest in such a feature and if yes, can somebody with knowledge of other architectures say whether or not such features are implementable on those other platforms? Also, if some platforms would return APR_NOTIMPL, would these IPC mechanisms have any use inside APR? -- Lucian

Architecture, however, is a social art, rather than a personal one, a reflection of a society and its values rather than a medium of individual expression. So it's a problem when the prevailing trend is one of franchises, particularly those of the globe-trotters: Renzo, Rem, Zaha and Frank. It's exciting to bring high-powered architects in from outside... But in the long run it's wiser to nurture local talent; instead of starchitects, locatects.

City policymakers will have objective standards to compare their services and performance with other cities around the world. And just as significant, the people of cities — civic, business organizations, ordinary citizens — will be able to access the same new global standards.

This is a big, global deal. The International Organization for Standardization, based in Geneva, has issued a list of standards dictating the precise kind of data cities should be collecting, to gauge performance and character. Previously, comparisons between supposedly identical data points in different cities was not guaranteed to be "apples to apples". For example, one city's definition of "unemployment" being more restrictive than another's, making rankings faulty and discrediting performance grades.

View the 46 indicators for cities to report on, that will place them in line with the new ISO standards.

Regarding comparisons between cities, rigorously investigating the exact definition of any data sounds like an obvious consideration, but with the earnest and speedy surge in city's data collection, "more" seems to have been the optimal word, and not "stricter". In 2008, when the Global Cities Indicators Facility at the University of Toronto compared ranking metrics for seven world...

to Rule the Sea is to Ruin the World

 A film by Allan Sekula & Noël Burch, the Forgotten Space explores the global movement of trade and labor. All the while mapping the shape of things to come in this age of no boundaries for the anything exploitative.

 "The factory system is no longer concentrated in the developed world but has become mobile and dispersed. As ships become more like buildings, the giant floating warehouses of the "just-in-time" system of distribution, factories begin to resemble ships, stealing away stealthily in the night, restlessly searching for ever cheaper labor. A garment factory in Los Angeles or Hong Kong closes, the work benches and sewing machines reappear in the suburbs of Guangzhou or Dacca. In the automobile industry, for example, the function of the ship is akin to that of conveyor systems within the old integrated car factory: parts span the world on their journey to the final assembly line."

A new Las Vegas club will accept Bitcoin, record membership on the Blockchain and issue its own tradeable digital token.
Participants at various Bitcoin and Blockchain conferences have been receiving fraudulent Bitcoin hardware wallets imitating legitimate products like Trezor and Ledger to steal user's funds.
Press Release
Largest installation for Coinsource since inception; 2 more BTMs launched in Las Vegas
National Bitcoin ATM has installed a new BTM in Las Vegas, precisely at 107 E Charleston Boulevard in North Las Vegas. The machine is open 24/7 and allows only to buy Bitcoin.
As we close out a tempestuous 2015 in the "real world" of increasing political and economic discord, it has largely escaped notice that 2015 was indeed a tremendous year for Bitcoin.
Yesterday, the question of whether Mike Tyson's Bitcoin venture was some sort of publicity stunt and would a Tyson-branded bitcoin dispensing machine ever become reality was answered as his Bitcoin ATM went live near the Las Vegas Strip yesterday.
Itson.me allows users to pay for literal drinks, coffee or food at local restaurants from anywhere in the world. Soon, it will be incorporating cryptocurrencies.
Inside Bitcoins Las Vegas will be held October 5-7, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The annual Money2020 conference in Las Vegas is going all out for Bitcoin at this year's event in November and CoinTelegraph is proud to be an official media sponsor of the event.
The first global conference dedicated to cryptocurrency mining, called Hashers United, is taking place October 10-11, 2014, at the Tuscany Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The annual Money2020 conference in Las Vegas is going all-in on Bitcoin for this year's event in November. Organizers recently announced a (Bit)coinWorld platform for participants to discuss the currency.
USA Today is reporting that two hotels in Las Vegas will begin to accept Bitcoins this week, but they won't yet open up their casinos to the digital currency.
During the last months bitcoin has outgrown the virtual world and entered the market of goods and service of the physical world. The first pioneers of this activity – merchants accepting the coin as a payment method – offered to the customers very plain items, from burgers and wine to antiques.
Bitcoin and online gambling became a recognizable and quite popular pair in most of the countries. But Bitmarkers have an ambitious plan how to develop alternative bitcoin in-casino gambling.
Ripples owners, OpenCoin, have announced that they will make the payment system available on an open source license beginning September 26.

SEOUL – East Asia could learn two valuable lessons from the eurozone crisis. First, do not rush the process of financial and monetary integration; and, second, develop adequate institutional frameworks before proceeding.
In fact, East Asian countries are unlikely to move toward a regional fixed exchange-rate system or a monetary union with a single currency in the immediate future, owing to the region's great diversity in terms of economic and political conditions. Perhaps, in a few decades, the region's countries will develop institutions to promote financial integration, such as a single bank supervisory agency of the type that the European Union is now creating.
Nevertheless, Asian policymakers should improve cooperation mechanisms designed to prevent and manage crises. Most promising is the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization (CMIM) of the ASEAN+3 – the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations plus China, Japan, and South Korea. This $120 billion regional reserve pool was launched in 2010 to provide short-term liquidity to members in an emergency.
The ASEAN+3 is now strengthening the CMIM by doubling the total fund size to $240 billion. The group also agreed to enhance the CMIM's flexibility by reducing the minimum portion of crisis lending to be tied to the International Monetary Fund's lending program from 80% to 70%.

Sergeant Major Keith Partridge called at 6 Coronation Street on the hunt for absent soldier Gary Windass when Gary went AWOL from his army posting in April 2010. David Platt, knowing of his whereabouts and seeing his mother Anna's distress, told her where she could find him. They did so and bought him home, but when Partridge arrived at the door, Anna told him they hadn't seen Gary. She enquired about Gary's progress in the army, and was informed by Partridge that he was doing very well until he disappeared, and that he had the makings of a fine soldier. Unknown to Anna or Gary, Gary's father Eddie, recognising the good that the discipline that his forces were doing his son, phoned Partridge and suggested he call back the next day. In the meantime, Gary confessed to his mother that visiting the squaddie brother of Quinny, an army colleague, who had lost his legs and right arm in a battle, had caused him to lose his nerve about his army career. Gary came to the conclusion that he had to return and did so, luckily contacting the Sergeant just as he called at the house again to take him away.
- The character was credited as Sergeant Major Partridge. His first name was given in dialogue in Episode 7329 (30th April 2010).

text: Thank you. Mr. Reilly, you may begin.Paul C. Reilly Great. Well, good morning, and thank you. And now that Brooke has explained that we can't forecast the future, we'd like to talk about really the first quarter of this year and what I would call kind of a difficult quarter for the capital markets overall in our industry. But I think solid results given where we are. As we said, we reported net income of $67,325,000 or $0.53 per diluted share. Again, as compared to a record quarter a year ago, obviously down but fairly flattish with the last quarter, as we put in our release. We go through the business, different business units, I think you could see where kind of the headwinds were. Starting with the Private Client Group, our wrap fee assets were down 6% coming into the quarter. And as you know, we bill in advance on our retail accounts and those fees, and that gave us a headwind. In the PCG group, we just weren't able to make that up on the commission volume. But if you look at this quarter, with the S&P up 11%, we'd estimate we'll reverse that and be up 6% or 7% this quarter as a starting point. So although we had a -- not over robust because of our beginnings, we could make it up in the commission's area. In the Private Client Group, we should be up, reversed to a better start this quarter. As you can see, our Financial Advisor account was up slightly in all of our segments as we continue to recruit. So I think going into the quarter, we'll get a better start there. Probably really the story of the quarter was the Equity Capital Markets business. As you know, the industry didn't have the best quarter in the world, and we weren't any different. We kind of had a lot of pieces going against us. This isn't really reflective of backlog, which is, I think, of a more uncertain market last quarter. Underwriting fees in the U.S. were down slightly but down more significantly in Canada. We had -- last year, our commission volumes were down, and ECM is a little down in the market.

In this new article, I'd like to discuss what I think the Sign of the Son of Man spoken of Matthew Chapter 24 really is by going a bit back in time - to October of 2013. At that time, when the Comet ISON was causing all of us Sacred Astronomers and Star Gazers plenty of speculative excitement, I made a good case for the Sign of the Son of Man that is connected to Yahshua's Second Coming in the Rapture in Matthew Chapter 24 as being tied to the Sign of the Woman Clothed With the Sun in the Book of Revelation Chapter 12. A Sign almost identical to the one that I believe appeared in the heavens just before Yahshua's birth in 3 BC appeared in Virgo on October 6th, 2013, as shown in the graphic below, which was taken from my article entitled: "THE WOMAN CLOTHED WITH THE SUN AND THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN":
To see the details on the graphic above, please right click on it and open it in its own browser window, then click on it again to enlarge it even further so you can see all the details on it.
Now, the trouble with my hypothesis surrounding this Heavenly Sign in October of 2013 is that the Woman Clothed with the Sun was not the ONLY Sign tied to the Son of Man that occurred in 3 BC. In fact, if I could have gotten around my excitement at that sign I saw on October 6th, 2013 - and I had really thought about it - I would have had to admit that the Sign of the Son of Man connected to Yahshua's birth or First Coming was really a SERIES of major conjunctions that occurred in Leo, Virgo and several other Messianic Zodiac Signs over a period of several years.
Looking at the past for proof of this, there was a whole series of amazing signs heralding the coming of the Messiah in 3 and 2 BC. Around the time of Yahshua's birth in September of 3 BC, for example, the Sign of the Woman Clothed With the Sun appeared on Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets on September 11th, 3 BC. This was the sign that the Woman (who was the virgin Miriam or Mary) was about to give birth, or very near to going into labor, which the Apostle John described in the Book of Revelation Chapter 12 as heralding the coming birth of Christ:
~*~ Revelation 12:1-2 ~*~ "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth."

Ten days after the miraculous sign on September 11th, 3 BC, Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement arrived on September 21st, 3 BC, which was 5 days before Sukkot or the Feast of Tabernacles on September 26th, 3 BC. I believe Yahshua was actually born on Yom Kipper that year, since He was to become our atonement sacrifice for sin at the end of His First Advent.
When the Sign of the Woman Clothed With the Sun appeared on September 11th, 3 BC, Jupiter the King or Messiah Planet was in conjunction with Regulus the King Star, the Sun (symbolic of Yahshua as the Sun of Righteousness described in Malachi 4:2) was in Virgo's belly, and the thin crescent of the New Moon was at Virgo's feet on the horizon. To learn even more about the prophetic elements of this sign in heaven, such as the meaning of the appearance of Venus and Mercury in Virgo, read the text on the graphic above.
In addition to this sign, the following list of significant signs that included conjunctions between Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mars appeared between the beginning of 3 BC and the end of 2 BC:
- May 19th, 3 BC - Mercury and Saturn in Conjunction in Taurus
- June 12th, 3 BC - Venus and Saturn in Conjunction in Taurus, with Sun and Moon in Conjunction in Gemini
- August 12th, 3 BC - Venus and Jupiter in Conjunction in Leo
- August 31st, 3 BC Mercury and Venus in Leo, Jupiter near Regulus
- September 11th, 3 BC - Sign of Woman Clothed with the Sun, Sun in Virgo's Belly, Crescent New Moon at Virgo's feet, Venus and Mercury in Virgo, Jupiter and Regulus in near Conjunction in Leo
- September 11-16th, 3 BC - Jupiter in Conjunction with Regulus in Leo
- February 9th-20th, 2 BC - Jupiter in Conjunction with Regulus in Leo
- February 16th, 2 BC - Jupiter, nearly Full Moon in Conjunction with Regulus in Leo
- May 5th-11th, 2 BC Jupiter in Conjunction with Regulus in Leo
- May 9th, 2 BC - Jupiter, Crescent Moon in Conjunction with Regulus in Leo
- June 17th, 2 BC - Jupiter in Conjunction with Venus near Regulus in Leo
- August 26-27th, 2 BC - Mars, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Conjunction in Leo, Crescent Moon in Conjunction with or near Regulus, Sun in Virgo
In comparison to the heavenly signs in 2 and 3 BC, the Jupiter and Venus conjunction in Leo on June 30th and July 1st, 2015 closely matched the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus in Leo on June 17th, 2 BC (and which some think of as the Star of Bethlehem, although this Star was actually Jupiter in transit). There has also been, or will be the following conjunctions and near conjunctions between Mid 2013 and the end of 2016 that are absolutely staggering in their prophetic implications and prominence in the sky:
- October 6th, 2013 - Sign of Woman Clothed with the Sun, Sun in Virgo's Belly, Crescent New Moon, Mercury and Saturn at Virgo's feet; Mars, Comet ISON and Regulus in near Conjunction in Leo

|Jupiter Depicts Yahshua's Suffering on the Cross

Now I want to focus on some of these signs to see what they may be heralding for believers and the world. The first Sign of interest is shown in the illustration at the top of this article page, and it will occur on July 17th, 2015, which is the 1st of Av on the Jewish Calendar. It will occur at about 9:30 pm CST near the western horizon. At that time, a marvelous prophetic sign will appear in the heavens shortly after the Sun sets. The main sign will appear in Leo signifying Yahshua as the Lion King of Judah coming as a Conquering King that will rule with a Rod of Iron. There, Jupiter the Messiah King Planet, Venus signifying Yahshua as the Bright and Morning Star, and Regulus the King Star will be in near conjunction. In addition, Comet PanSTARRS (C/2014 Q1) will be in conjunction with the New Moon in Cancer signifying Israel regathered. This comet is expected to be visible in the sky at dusk for about two weeks before and after it reaches perihelion, especially in the southern latitudes of the planet.
At the same time as the sign in Leo on July 17th, there will be a prophetic sign in Gemini signifying the Wedding of the Lamb of God, Who is Yahshua. As pictured in the graphic at the beginning of this article, the Sun signifying God the Father, Mars signifying Christ's Blood Sacrifice, and Mercury signifying the Scribes and Prophets of God that record God's Will shall be near to each other. Besides the Wedding of the Lamb in Heaven, the Sign of Gemini signifies the heavenly peace on Earth that will only be had when all Jews and Gentiles love, worship and follow Yahshua as their Messiah and King. This is why the Bible calls Yahshua the Prince of Peace (See Isaiah 9:6).
Taken as a whole, this sign is speaking to the Bride of Christ as a symbol of their hope that their Messiah and King Yahshua will come for them soon in the Rapture. At the same time, it signifies the Messianic deliverance that the Jews cry out for every year, when they enter a 21 day period of mourning between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av, also known as Tisha B'Av. At this time, they mourn the loss of the First and Second Temples, which were destroyed on the 9th of Av, as well as the loss of their ancient kingdom in Israel. This period of mourning began on July 4th, 2015, and it will intensify on the evening of July 25th, when the 9th of Av begins. The 9th of Av ends at sunset on July 26th in Israel.
Interestingly, the 1st through the 9th of Av are often observed as a period when Jews not only mourn the losses of their historic past, but as a time when they reflect on their lives and look at areas where they need improvement and help from God. In this regard, I find it particularly important that God our Father chose to cause three successive Solar Eclipses to occur on the 1st of Av in 2008, 2009 and 2010, which I feel were the final three years before a period of tribulation for believers that began on the Earth in early 2011, on the 1st of Nissan. The first two of these eclipses occurred in Cancer, the sign signifying Israel's regathering and salvation during the Millennial Rule of Christ, while the last one occurred in Gemini, the sign signifying the Wedding of the Lamb. What's more, these happen to be two of the three signs involved in the Sign in the Heavens on July 17th, 2015.
Fascinatingly, there are traditions among the Jews that - some day - the 9th of Av will be turned from a day of great mourning to a day of great rejoicing. For this reason, it is seen as a high Rapture Watch day, because nothing could cause more rejoicing among God's chosen saints than to be delivered from this dark world and brought into the glorious presence and peace of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Heaven.

Now, as a way of dissipating the sorrow of the period of mourning in Israel preceding the 9th of Av, there is a minor Jewish Feast called Tu B'Av, or the 15th of Av, which is the Jewish equivalent of Valentine's Day in the West. Due to its association with weddings and giving gifts of love to others, Tu B'Av has become another high Rapture Watch day. In 2015, Tu B'Av will occur on Friday, July 31st, on the day that a second Full Moon in one month will appear in the sky at night. Technically, a second Full Moon in any given month is known as a Blue Moon. On this day in the heavens, Jupiter and Venus will be in a triangular formation with Mercury near to Regulus marking Leo's fore-paws, and the Comet PanSTARRS (C/2014 Q1) will be near Hydra, but - unlike the sign on July 17th, 2015 - none of this will be visible since it will be too near to the Sun. This does not mean that this sign is unimportant, just that it will be hidden from view - just as the Sign of the Woman Clothed with the Sun was hidden by the light of the Sun on September 11th, 3 BC, as well as on October 6th, 2013.
Though there are several other Heavenly Signs coming up this year and next year that are very significant that I've listed above, and that I would like to illustrate and discuss in detail, I would like to end this article before exploring the others. This is so that I can share this information about this strong Rapture Watch period in July of 2015 with those in the Body of Christ that are watching for the signs of His return - both in the heavens and on the Earth - just as Yahshua told His beloved disciples to do.
Of course, my hope is that the Wise Virgins and Bride of Christ won't be here by then, but no one knows the exact day or hour of Christ's coming for His Bride. Until then, all we can do is hope and speculate as a way of encouraging one another. As the world we are living in grows darker and darker, we all need the hope and promise of God's Word in the Bible and His Heavenly Gospel Signs to keep us looking up in mind and spirit! With this in mind, I hope that this article will bless you, and lift you up with divine hope and good cheer.

Rarely in the commercial history of Roscrea has the closure of a shop caused such an outpouring of public sadness and regret as that of Maloney Menswear which closed its tills, and bolted its doors for one final time on Friday last.
However, when one considers that the proprietor of this business was Liam Maloney its easy to understand why the sadness surrounding the closure of this shop surpasses almost all the shop closures that have come before it in Roscrea. In years to come Maloney Menswear will be lamented but fondly recalled. To accept the business as just a drapery shop would be ignorant and plain silly. Maloney Menswear was an institution in Roscrea.
It was a place where the many characters that shape the town and its environs gathered on almost a daily basis to debate the various issues of the day. Governments have been elected in this shop and TDs and Government Ministers throughout the land have in Liams own words been torn apart and stripped asunder on many a different occasion. Maloney Menswear was a great place for anyone interested in sport. Cheltenham fancies would be picked as early as October, All-Ireland victories would be scruntised and up and coming Irish sporting talent would be given the thumbs up or the thumbs down.
The owner Liam Maloney could only be described as a pillar of Roscrea Society. His spirit exemplifies all that is great about our old historic town and his energy and boundless enthusiasm is the envy of many the length and breadth of Ireland. This combined with his tremendous community work and his reputation as one of the finest drapers this side of the Shannon have earned him almost iconic status in his hometown. A visit to his shop last week gives one a clear indication of the reverence and the height of the regard thats felt for Liam. Presents, bouquets of flowers, cards and a constant stream of well wishers many with tears in their eyes made Liams departure more of a funeral ceremony than a retirement occasion. Once the dust settles however, one will see it is also a time for celebration and reflection on what to date has been a tremendous life that has given so much, and a life that will hopefully now get plenty of time to enjoy other pursuits away from the workplace.Liam was born at the Lodge in Dungar on March 26th 1941. He has three sisters and is the son of the late William and Sarah Maloney. His father William was probably Liams greatest inspiration. Indeed his father was only the third ever caretaker of Dungar Cemetery taking over from Mr R. Rafter in 1938. When Liams father died in 1982 Liam himself succeeded him as Caretaker having already been appointed Secretary to the Dungar Joint Burial Board in 1979. Liam holds the distinction of been the first person to hold both the Secretarys position and the Caretakers position at the one time.
His years of service at the cemetery has played a tremendous part of his life. As he reflects himself, he acknowledges that to some it may seem a strange place to live. He says to be born, live and hopefully die in the one house and within the walls of a cemetery is very rare. In 2001 Liam received a Roscrea People of the Year Award for all his great work but in particular for a wonderful project that was instigated by himself and completed in 2001 and actually resulted in Liam appearing in popular Irish Television programme Nationwide. In what was a tremendous day for Roscrea, Liam unveiled a commemorative headstone at Dungar cemetery as part of his contribution to right what he considers a terrible wrong. The headstone which stands 5ft high and 7ft wide records the names and date of death of each person buried in the paupers grave in the cemetery. It is testament to Liams generosity that most of the project was paid for with his own savings.As regards a very successful career in Drapery, Liam began working in 1957 with Hartnetts in Rosemary Street. It was there he stayed until 1989 when he left to manage Suits and Casuals in Main Street. When the owner of that business retired in 1996, Liam took the brave move of taking over the business and began trading as Maloney Menswear. As he says himself, things went very well for him, but it was nevertheless very daunting going into business by yourself for the first time in your mid 50s and according to Liam, its not something that he would be likely to advise anyone to do.
Speaking to the Tipperary Star, Liam recalled in his usual logical and analytical manner the vast changes that he has witnessed in Roscrea and society in general since he began his career in drapery almost fifty years ago. Liam talks fondly of the great characters that were customers of his through the years. He said many of those characters came from the twenty mile radius surrounding Roscrea from which Liam drew ninety five percent of his custom. He can easily recall people from Roscrea, Dunkerrin, Shinrone, Birr, Camross, Borris-In-Ossory and Clonakenny who were all great customers of his in the past. He recalls that people even travelled two and three times a year from as far away as Dublin, Limerick, Longford and Athlone etc to shop at his store in Roscrea. This in itself gave Liam great confidence that he was running a good show and as a result his business flourished. Liam has a special mention for the late John Joe Flannery and Tom Dwyer who dropped by his shop on almost a daily basis for either a good row or a great debate about one thing or another. As Liam says the door was often slammed going out but they, like many others always came back. In fact he says that in his fifty years of serving the public he only ever recalls having just the one problem with a customer and that was many years ago. He said one particular lady customer got in an argument one day with him and threatened to get her two brothers to sort Liam out. When she went home that evening and told the two lads what had happened they drove her straight back to town and made sure she made her apologies to Liam. Last week the same woman was back to wish Liam farewell and thank him for his generosity over the years. Her parting words as she left the shop for the last time were In fairness Liam, ya werent the worst of them after all.
Liam tells us that he feels he is retiring in an era where civic spirit is been eroded at an alarming rate. He said it is amazing how as the county got richer he could see on almost a daily basis from his shop that the standards were getting lower. Liam feels very strongly about the mindless vandalism, tuggery and plain disrespect for life that has now almost shaped Irish society. He was very vocal in calling for the powers that be to do whatever necessary to eradicate these problems which have become poisonous venom that normal law abiding citizens should not have to confront on a daily basis. He said the carnage on the roads and the sheer arrogance that has engulfed the Irish psyche also haunts him on a regular basis. On the positive side of things Liam reflects on the tremendous community spirit that exists in Roscrea through organisations like the Roscrea Tidy Towns Committee and others like it. He said if people could channel more of their spare time into organisations like these, we would all stand to benefit.
Away from work, Liam enjoys the simple things in life. A great believer in former American President John F Kennedys words A time to work and a time to play, Liam enjoys nothing more than a relaxing evening with a good meal. Alternatively a trip to the racecourse or to Croke Park leaves him energised and refreshed to once again face his many daily and weekly tasks. Liam has often said that because of his commitments to the business and the cemetery the reality is that a family with ten children would find it easier than him to get away for a holiday.Liams departure from the main thoroughfare of Main Street Roscrea has as mentioned already brought many a tear over the last few weeks. Liams long and illustrious past has embraced the hearts of many generations of people over the years. Liam has asked us to thank all his customers and friends for all the business, great kindness and friendship accorded to him. As he says himself he has certainly done his best by way of his customers over the years and if ever he could do them a turn he was never slow stepping up to the mark. Indeed Liam was of great service to this correspondent over the past few years especially when it came to writing fitting obituaries for those who had passed away. Liam always had something nice and positive to say about the deceased and do doubt his words brought comfort to the families for miles around. Liam also has and continues to be a great servant of the www.roscreaonline.com website. Already through the sites genealogy section he has played a key role in uniting families as well as assisting countless other people trying to trace their roots to Roscrea and its surrounding district. Tributes flowed all last week for Liam and indeed Roscrea Chamber of Commerce would like us to thank Liam for his tremendous dedication, commitment and loyalty to the town over the years.
Signing off Liam quotes a very apt line from Byron Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour. Its by this motto Liam has lived his live and has based his happiness to date upon. Its a motto that Liam will also live the rest of his life by as he embarks upon his retirement in Dungar. He says theres no where else on earth hed rather be but with that famous wry smile of his, he informs us that he still has plenty more to give. One gets the feeling we certainly havent seen or heard the last of Liam Maloney.
