DUI Attorney in Pikesville
If you are charged with driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated in Maryland, there are many essential realities to consider. Maryland takes driving under the influence extremely seriously and there are unwanted effects that you need to know so you can avoid them.
In Pikesville, there are severe consequences from the Motor Vehicle Administration including up to twelve points assessed on your driver's license. If you do not take the proper action can result in suspension of your Maryland driving privilege. Even if you are not a Maryland licensed driver, a revoked license in Maryland (or within the United States) will does trigger an interruption in your home state.
There are also the material impacts from DWI in Maryland which can have negative effects on your daily life. Suspension of your driving privilege changes your ability to drive to your job, resulting in being let go from your work. Those convicted of DUI report that event as the reason causing major financial stresses.
Points on your driving record will make acquiring insurance difficult and/or cause your insurance costs to go up. A conviction for driving while intoxicated can prevent you from getting certain jobs or make your employer fire you from your current employment, especially if driving is crucial to your job.
Knowing the negative outcomes you confront if found guilty for DUI, it's important that you hire qualified experienced legal counsel for your hearing. Your legal counsel will back your argument to obtain the greatest outcome. Sometimes this means lessening your exposure and lowering the sentence and sometimes it can mean dismissal of charges. So, do you need a lawyer for your DUI case in Maryland? Have the Law Offices of Allan Rombro get the job done for you!

As a leader in adhesive technologies, Henkel is committed to actively supporting a circular economy by making it possible to return high-quality materials into the loop after use – turning waste back into valuable resources. The adhesives used in packages typically only make up no more than 5 percent of the total weight while their properties can actually make the difference when it comes to the overall recyclability of the material. With its new RE range that is "designed for recycling," Henkel is introducing a range of adhesives and coatings that both improve the recyclability of flexible packaging and make it possible to use recycled content in new packaging.

Tightness through the tissue that connects your bones, muscles and joints together is a major cause for pain and injury. While the foam roller may not have had much use in the past, our current 21st century lifestyles promote body dysfunction and tightness in all the wrong places and adding weight training to a dysfunctional movement can end in tragedy. Strategic use of a foam roller can provide major benefits to your exercise session.
The Science
While it's true that some people can just get up and hop in to a workout, the majority of us need some time to warm, lengthen and activate the right muscles to restore proper body function. Many pains that have been attributed to arthritis are actually just tightness. In fact, for many of us, the warm-up is the most important part of the entire workout because it allows the many muscles of our body to fire in the right sequence to produce force. While it can be easy to assume that the body simply "uses the legs" to do an exercise like a squat, the reality is that your body does a complete head-to-toe balance of every muscle and that a major imbalance through a single joint can throw the entire system out of whack. In a properly functioning body, the muscles of your feet, upper/lower leg, butt, core and shoulders will all work in time but activities such as prolonged sitting can cause tightness in areas like the front of your hips.
Tightness in the front of your hips isn't usually a big deal except that the body has built-in reflexes that turn muscles on and off based on tightness. For example, take your arm from relaxed to bicep curl. The bulge on the top of your arm (the biceps) will tighten and the opposite side of your arm (triceps) will relax. If this reflex wasn't designed in to your anatomy, you wouldn't be able to move your joints.
The Application
Foam rollers should be used on most people prior to exercise. Approximately 30 seconds rolling on a muscle will help to warm, lengthen and release tightness. Common areas that need foam rolling are the front of the chest, tops of the shoulders and under arm pits for shoulder or neck pain; fronts of the hips, side of the butt and inner thigh for knee and lower back pain. Start your session by selecting 3-6 places to foam roll, stretch those areas after, then walking on a treadmill in all four directions to help the body use its new found pattern.
The Takeaway
These cylindrical pieces of foam can take away aches and pains and help you get more out of your exercise session. They can be picked up at nearly any sports store and in our opinion, they should be part of everyone's body care arsenal.

Website: www.naomihobsonartist.com.au
I grew up with love and respect all around me. I still see this and it makes me feel a responsibility to show my people in a positive light. My art reflects my Country, my culture, and my people. I use photography to give my people a voice from the perspective of a black person speaking with black people.
Being from the community and sharing life's experiences with Cape York people, there is an intrinsic trust and oneness that exists in these photographs. While the camera is always present, it is also invisible - we just talk and capture the essence of the moment.
Adolescent Wonderland rejects stereotypes in mainstream culture that link 'negativity' and 'badness'' to the colour of our skin. When some people see young and black they see fear but I see hope, light and confidence.
This series of photographs explores the inherent energy of young people expressing their individuality, inner beauty, bravery, and strength. There is so much to learn from the process of accepting self, and this constant and persistent search by our youth of 'how to be' in this world. I wanted to convey this by letting them lead their own narratives and confront misconceptions about how they are represented.
Today, our young people are immersed in social media so they have a much broader sense of global cultures than every generation before them. Within my community there is a constant and persistent search of belonging and identity - a search for a much deeper engagement with the world lead by our young people.
I see a future in my young people, and for my community, a story of resilience. These young people know exactly who they are! they're not going to take being misrepresented and generalised! They want to inspire, seek adventure and give love. When I was working on Adolescent Wonderland there was something in my youth that was calling out to me, it felt really special, I knew that it was a special issue and so very important for me to capture the pinnacle of being young and black and positive, to have their trust and engagement in this series allowed the youth to shine, not as subjects but as real people. They can be larger than life and creative; they see you and now they want you to see them, their truth - who they are, everything honest and grounded in their culture.
I want people to look at these works and see this is a new thing. Their time in the world is now.
Naomi Hobson is a multi-disciplinary artist who resides on the banks of the riverbeds where her grandparents were born. Her residence is an old tin shed that was once her village church.
Her colourful abstract compositions act as a link between individuality and a shared identity. Her continual inspiration for her painting is the vast traditional lands of her ancestors surrounding the town of Coen in Queensland and her culture. Recently, Hobson has been inspired by the rich cultural diversity she witnessed firsthand while exploring village life, rural farmlands and the organised urban chaos throughout Southeast Asia. Hobson uses photography to give an insight into the real-life characters in her community that are mostly unseen and misrepresented in mainstream viewpoints of Aboriginal Australia - while her ceramics are a creative manifestation of her cultural spiritual belief system.
Coen is a small township of 300 people at the bottom of the McIlwraith Ranges (part of the Great Dividing Range) surrounded by the east coast of Cape York Peninsula, rainforest and open wooded country, with many river systems that snake down to the northern section of the Great Barrier Reef. The local clans include Kaantju, Umpila, LamaLama, Ayapathu, Wik Mungkan and Olkola.
The landscape of Coen is also imbued with a marked political history. Since European settlement Aboriginal people have maintained a connection to their country through working on pastoral properties. Hobson's grandfather was employed as a stockman for a European family, while other local indigenous people worked as farmhands (cooking, cleaning, gardening, baby-sitters) for no financial reward. Further, Hobson's family have been active in indigenous land rights and reform movements in the effort to return traditional lands and on social and economic reforms to her Cape York community of Coen. Through her art, Hobson continues her family tradition of political and social engagement. Every brushstroke expresses the innate embeddedness of cultures and country in her paintings. However, this specific link to place is brought about through a keen sense of her own individuality.
Hobson states:
I create ART in my own personal space where I feel most comfortable including my back veranda, on the streets of Coen, in the dry riverbeds, on the banks of my childhood fishing places as well as at the campsites that my families have lived and spent time for thousands of years. I will take time to look at the miniature things, the tiny little things that nature hides.
My aboriginality is what grounds me. Through art I get to freely express all of this. I can share my creative freedoms in a contemporary way.
My style also reflects my individuality... I want my work to tell my stories in an innovative way, I want to introduce new work, to maintain a point of difference, I am wary to re-define and not recycle.
While Hobson is quick to point out she has been exploring her art practise since her teenage years, in 2007 Hobson commenced her journey and now her work has been acquired by national and regional institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of South Australia, Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Bendigo Art Gallery, Shepparton Art Museum, HOTA, Home of the Arts, Surfers Paradise, Caloundra Regional Gallery, Caloundra, Redcliffe Art Gallery, Redcliffe, Moreton Bay, Araluen Arts Centre: Art Galleries and Theatre, Alice Springs, Cairns Performing Arts Centre, Cairns, Cairns Art Gallery. Hobson's work is held in significant public and private collections nationally and internationally.

Russian School of Mathematics
The Russian School of Mathematics (RSM) opened in 1997 with a goal of creating a unique after-school mathematics program. Our mission was to build a systematic math education based on the traditions of Russia and Europe and adapted to the needs of American students.
Today, we are one of the oldest and most successful after-school programs in the United States. Our graduates have achieved impressive results in school, on standardized tests, in college and beyond. Families of our many students across the country trust their children's mathematical education to RSM.
Our Locations
About RSM-Reston
RSM-Reston is the first branch of the Russian School of Mathematics in Virginia. The school opened in 2016, serving the surrounding communities of Reston, Arlington, Centreville, Chantilly, Fairfax, Falls Church, Great Falls, Herndon, Leesburg, Mclean, Oakton, Oakhill, Springfield, Sterling, Tysons Corner, and Vienna. Our mission is to use RSM's well-structured teaching strategy to help students build a solid math foundation and develop lifelong critical thinking skills. Our classroom-based approach is an alternative to math tutoring that creates lasting results for students and parents.
At RSM-Reston, we believe that a quality mathematics education is one of the most powerful tools you can provide a child. We view the widespread aversion to math in the U.S. as a major problem. We strive to create a counter culture that embraces math as both exciting and useful. RSM is not just designed for students who intend to study math in college. It is designed to help widen opportunities in all fields by enhancing logic and critical thinking skills, developing math-specific abilities, and fostering a deep appreciation for the subject.
About the Principal
Viktoriya Palamarchuk
Education: M.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science, Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine
After graduating High School with honors, Viktoriya studied Mathematics and Computer Science at Karazin Kharkiv National University in Ukraine. In 1999, she immigrated to the United States and started a family with her husband. Now, they have four sons, all of whom are proud RSM students.
First as a mom and then as an RSM teacher, Viktoriya witnessed first-hand the success of the RSM approach. Developing logical skills and critical thinking instead of relying on memorization achieves better long-term results, she has found, by building a powerful lifelong foundation for students. Not only has she watched the program help increase the self-esteem and confidence in her students, but she has also observed how the supportive and nurturing RSM environment prepares children beyond school and well into the real world.
Viktoriya has been the Vice Principal of RSM-Winchester in Massachusetts since the branch opened in 2013. She has helped the Principal build and run the school. When the opportunity to relocate to Virginia presented itself, Viktoriya accepted it without hesitation. She is very excited to open the first RSM branch in Virginia and share her passion for mathematics with students from Reston and the surrounding area.

The Russian School of Mathematics Approach
Published on May 26, 2016
In this video, we introduce the values and thought process behind the European style of teaching mathematics. Instead of memorization and drilling, our school prides itself on the development of reasoning skills in mathematics to encourage students to think logically and critically, and to approach the subject in a fun, interactive way. Students are pushed to discover how to solve problems and to reflect and explain how and why they were able to reach that solution. We have a clear vision of our students excelling in mathematics and hope to dispel the stigma surrounding math as being difficult or unpleasant.

Pre-wrath Rapture: A Pretrib Evaluation
February 3, 1998
Faith Pulpit
Faith Baptist Theological Seminary
Ankeny, Iowa
February—March 1998
Pre-wrath Rapture: A Pretrib Evaluation
Myron J. Houghton, Ph.D., Th.D.
(An evaluation of Dr. Robert D. Van Kampen's book, The Rapture Question Answered. Grand Rapids: Fleming H. Revell, a division of Baker Book House, 1997)
I. An Explanation of the Pre-wrath Rapture View
"Plainly stated, the core truth is this: the persecution by Antichrist during the great tribulation will be the wrath of Satan (Rev. 12:12), not the wrath of God. When the sign of the sun, moon, and stars is given in the heavens, the wrath of Satan against the elect of God will be terminated, the faithful to God will be raptured, and then the wrath of God will begin against the wicked who remain, ending with the battle of Armageddon. Thus, the Rapture of God's saints has to occur sometime during the second half of the tribulation period, during Antichrist's persecution of God's elect. Plain and simple! No more, no less," (pages 47, 48. Unless otherwise noted, emphasis in the citations are by Dr. Van Kampen.)
II. An Evaluation of Key Issues
Hermeneutics. "The text must be understood at face value, in its most natural, normal, customary sense, making allowances for obvious figures of speech, its context, and all the other passages of Scripture dealing with the same issue. When in doubt, let Scripture interpret Scripture! Once the common denominator is found that harmonizes all the passages, without contradiction, then we have the truth, but not before. And once we have truth that truth stands in judgment of us; never do we dare stand in judgment of it!" (page 32).
Letting Scripture interpret Scripture is true enough as a principle but in practice it could become nothing more than our theology telling a biblical passage what it can or cannot mean. Trying to determine the meaning from the context of such a passage is a better procedure than going to other passages which may or may not be dealing with the same subject. Context is to be preferred over prooftext. Why? One may think he has found the "common denominator that harmonizes all the passages" but may be wrong. In any case, whether the interpreter is right or wrong, once he has determined that he has found the correct view, if he follows Dr. Van Kampen's advice, there is no way to convince him otherwise, since "never do we dare stand in judgment of it!" (page 32).
Straw Men. This reviewer found three matters that Dr. Van Kampen raised as important to be straw men in reality.
First is the matter of just how explicit the Bible is concerning the timing of the Rapture. In this book, Dr. Walvoord, former president of Dallas Theological Seminary and staunch pretribulationist, is quoted as saying, "neither posttribulationism nor pretribulationism is an explicit teaching of the Scriptures. The Bible does not, in so many words, state either" (page 44). On the other hand, referring to his own view, the pre-wrath Rapture, the author states, "The truth of the matter is, Scripture could not be clearer on this issue, not only as to the fact of Christ's coming and the judgment that will occur when He comes, but also the timing of His coming as it relates to other end time events" (page 14).
Of course, if Dr. Van Kampen is correct, if "Scripture could not be clearer on this issue," he could have produced a one-page list of Bible references where the Bible states in so many words the pre-wrath Rapture! Instead, he has given us a book of over 200 pages in which various biblical passages are interpreted but in which no explicit statement from Scripture is given. In fact, he states, "it is necessary to understand how four distinct biblical truths are interrelated if we are to gain a proper understanding of the whole of end time events. Each of these truths plays an important part in a complete and accurate biblical view of the return of Christ…" (page 51). Dr. Walvoord himself couldn't have said it any better!
Second is the issue of whether there is one future coming [parousia] of Christ or two. Dr. Van Kampen maintains that pretribulationists must hold to two comings, while he argues the Bible teaches only one (see pages 94–101). If the author were posttribulational [which he is not!] his distinction would be clear: Posttribulationism teaches Christ comes to rapture believers and immediately returns to set up His kingdom—one coming. But Dr. Van Kampen, like pretribulationists, believes there is a period of time between the Rapture and Christ's return to set up His kingdom. But he argues for a single coming because he sees the coming as including "different activities… as was the case with His first coming" (pages 97, 98). In other words, he views Christ's second coming in a comprehensive way, including the Rapture and the return to set up the millennial kingdom. This reviewer wonders why it is not possible to view Christ's coming both ways without one of them being wrong! When I wrote to Dr. Van Kampen's ministry about any real difference between these two ways of looking at Christ's return, Rev. Charles Cooper replied: "The rapture of the church and Christ coming at Armageddon is one whole event composed of several parts." In his evaluation of the difference between his understanding and the pretribulational understanding of Christ's return, Rev. Cooper said, "Fundamentally, we may be talking about a subtle variation in meaning" (letter to this reviewer from Rev. Charles Cooper, Director of Field Ministries for THE SIGN MINISTRIES, October 8, 1997). I agree: the variation in meaning is very subtle!
Third is the matter of whether or not the flood began on the same day Noah entered the ark. Dr. Van Kampen, using Matthew 24, believes the Rapture and God's wrath occur on the same day because Genesis 7:11–13 says Noah entered the ark on the same day the flood began. This destroys the idea that the Rapture was imminent throughout church history, because the Tribulation begins by Antichrist making a covenant with Israel, and Israel did not exist as a nation until 1948 (pages 58–65). However, pretribulationists do not need to defend an interval between the beginning of the flood and the day in which Noah entered the ark. The pretribulational view does not see the Rapture of the Church but rather Christ's return at the end of the Tribulation being discussed in Matthew 24. In the Olivet Discourse, Christ's return as it relates to the future of Israel rather than the future of the Church is in view. The people "taken" at Christ's return (Matthew 24:40, 41) are described in Matthew 13:49–50 as the wicked who are separated from the righteous at the end of the age and thrown into the Lake of Fire. So there is no problem with the imminency of the Rapture. Paul included himself among those who might not die but still be alive at Christ's return ("we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed…" 1 Corinthians 15:51).
The Seal Judgments. On pages 139–152, Dr. Van Kampen relates the events described in Matthew 24 with the seal judgments of Revelation 6. I believe some of the details of his interpretation are flawed. For example, when the fourth seal is broken, the rider on a pale horse is given authority to kill 1/4 of the world with sword, famine, death (or pestilence) and by wild beasts. Dr. Van Kampen does not take these forms of tribulation at face value but argues they are part of Antichrist's persecution. Nevertheless, this reviewer believes Dr. Van Kampen's identification of the seal judgments beginning at the start of the seven-year Tribulation is correct! The difference in our views concerns whether or not the wrath of God is responsible for all of the seal judgments or only the last. Throughout his book, Dr. Van Kampen distinguishes between the wrath of Satan (and the Antichrist) on the one hand, and the wrath of God on the other. On page 56 this distinction is considered crucial. But there are times when both God and evil are responsible for events. In Acts 2:23 Peter tells us that responsibility for Christ's death includes both God's determined counsel and the wicked hands of men. In 2 Corinthians 12:7 we learn that Paul's thorn in the flesh came from God (who gave it so Paul would not become exalted above measure because of the many revelations he had received) and from (a messenger of) Satan. Thus the persecution by Antichrist may be used by God to prepare Israel to recognize her Savior.
In any case, Dr. Van Kampen does not see God's wrath revealed until after the sixth seal (see chart on page 164). He quotes Revelation 6:17 where, when the sixth seal is broken, the world leaders cry for the rocks to hide them from the One who sits on the throne and from the Lamb because, "the great day of their wrath has come." If one took this text at face value, he would say that with the breaking of the sixth seal, the world leaders recognize that the great day of God's wrath has come. But since Dr. Van Kampen doesn't believe God's wrath is poured out until the seventh seal, he argues "the aorist tense is, generally speaking, timeless" (page 153) and thus probably means here that the day of God's wrath is about to come (pages 153,154). In response, it should be noted that when the aorist tense is used in the indicative (as it is here) it is not timeless but usually indicates past time. Dana and Mantey state, "It has no essential temporal significance, its time relations being found only in the indicative, where it is used as past" (A Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament by H. E. Dana and Julius R. Mantey [NY: The Macmillan Company, 1927), page 193) while Wallace says, "In the indicative, the aorist usually indicates past time" (Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics by Daniel B. Wallace [Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1996], page 555).
Furthermore, Revelation 6:17 gives the perspective of the world leaders. God's view is different: the sealed book contains divine judgment upon the world, and the breaking of the seals unleashes God's wrath. In Revelation 5:1 the sealed book is in the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne, and only the Lord Jesus is found worthy to take it and break the seals to pronounce God's judgment (Revelation 5:2–7). As Dr. Van Kampen himself states, "The biblical teaching concerning end times primarily has to do with the judgment and wrath of God against the unrighteous world. In fact, the book of Revelation is almost entirely about God's wrath. When the angel asks, 'Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?' (Rev. 5:2), the answer is, 'the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah' (v. 5), whom John describes to his readers as 'a Lamb' (v. 6), a reference to Jesus Christ" (page 51). If the seal judgments begin at the start of the Tribulation (as Dr. Van Kampen and I both believe is true) and if God's wrath begins to be poured with the first seal (as Revelation 5 teaches) and if the Rapture occurs before God's wrath is poured out (as Dr. Van Kampen and I both believe is true) then the Rapture occurs before the Tribulation begins.
The "Church" and The "Elect." In the Olivet Discourse [which Dr. Van Kampen uses as the model by which to evaluate all other New Testament eschatological passages] the word "church" is not used. In pondering that fact he concludes: "It will be the church in general that will fall away into apostasy in the last days. It is the elect of God (the saints) who will endure Antichrist's persecution. That is precisely why terms such as 'the elect' and 'the saints' are used instead of the word church to describe the faithful who will choose death over compromise!" (page 81). In contrast to this understanding of "church," the New Testament uses "church" in a Christian sense to describe true believers in Christ. But "church" is not used in Matthew 24 because it is not part of our Lord's teaching here. Daniel 9:24–27 says "70 weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city." Daniel's "holy city" is Jerusalem and his "people" are Israel! The 70th "week" is the seven-year tribulation period, divided in the middle by the breaking of the covenant (v 27). This is the same period described in Matthew 24. The "end" half of this period begins when one can see "the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place" (Matthew 24:14, 15).
"Church" is used in Revelation, chapters 1–3 and 22, but not in chapters 4–21. Dr. Van Kampen gives the same explanation as previously stated (pages 133-137). One has only to read carefully the letters our Lord wrote to these seven churches (Revelation 2 and 3) to realize that this explanation is not acceptable here, either. "Church" is not found in Revelation 4–18 because these chapters describe events on earth during the seven-year Tribulation, and the Church is not present. In Revelation 19, when Christ returns, the Church is seen as the wife of the Lamb (v 7 cf. Ephesians 5:22–32). In Revelation 20, the doom of the devil (vv 1-10) and the destiny of the lost (vv 11–15) are described. In Revelation 21, the redeemed of all the ages are classified in their distinct groupings. Proof: (1) in verse 3 "people" is literally "peoples;" (2) in verse 12, the gates of the New Jerusalem have the names of the 12 tribes of Israel written on them whereas in verse 14 the foundations of that city have the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb written on them; and (3) in verses 24 and 26, believing nations retain their ethnic glory.
In fact, if you were to look up every verse in the New Testament where "church" is found you would discover it refers either to the Church which is Christ's Body (Ephesians 1:22,23) or to local congregations composed of "saints" (even when described as "carnal"—1 Corinthians 1:2; 3:1ff). Thus the "church" of the Thessalonians is "in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 1:1) and their "election" is known by Paul (1 Thessalonians 1:4), while the congregation at Ephesus is said to be acquired (or purchased) by Christ's blood (Acts 20:28).
The Rapture in 2 Thessalonians. First, contrary to Dr. Van Kampen (pp 117,118), the order in 2 Thessalonians 1:4–8 is not persecution [in the Tribulation] followed by the Rapture. The persecution and afflictions the Thessalonians experienced must not be identified with the events of the Tribulation.
Second, contrary to Dr. Van Kampen (p 120, footnote # 3) the Greek construction does not show the apostasy and the revealing of the Antichrist to be a single event. While Moffat (Expositor's Greek Testament, IV:48) thinks they "form a single phenomenon," Hiebert rejects this suggestion, saying, "The two verbs, emphatic by position, serve to distinguish the events" (The Thessalonian Epistles, Moody Press, p 305). My point is the Greek construction does not require Dr. Van Kampen's interpretation.
Third, and finally, contrary to Dr. Van Kampen (p 125), the restrainer is not Michael the Archangel. He will accompany Christ in His descent at the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16). The one restraining "that wicked [one]" (v 8) must be more powerful than he, yet the wicked one's coming is "after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders" (v 9). Only a member of the Godhead has that kind of power. Michael doesn't. When disputing with the devil, Michael respected Satan's authority—contrary to the false teachers Jude writes against, who had no respect for anyone's authority (Jude 8–10).
All three Persons of the Godhead are omnipresent. In this sense they cannot "come" or "leave." But in terms of residency, the Father is "in heaven," (Matthew 6:9) and Christ is at the Father's right hand (Hebrews 1:3). But the Holy Spirit "came" to reside in the bodies of church age believers on the Day of Pentecost (John 7:37–39; 14:16,, 17). He "came" to create the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13). And if this is the sense in which He "came," it is also the sense in which He is "taken out of the way" (2 Thessalonians 2:7). The Holy Spirit came to create the Church which is Christ's Body and to indwell those believers who compose that Body (Ephesians 1:13, 14, 22, 23), and He leaves when the Church He indwells is caught away! Then, and only then, is the wicked, lawless one revealed by the making of a seven-year covenant (v 8). Even Dr. Van Kampen recognizes that "the seven-year tribulation period will begin when this man who becomes Antichrist makes a seven-year treaty with Israel" (p 38). That man cannot be revealed until the Holy Spirit is removed in the Rapture of the Church. This makes the Rapture both pre-wrath and pretribulational!
I. Greek words
On page 116 Dr. Van Kampen recognizes some have used their knowledge of Greek as a technique to convince the listener or reader of something not found in the English text, and he vows he will not do this. On the same page he describes his "authorities" who checked everything he says about Greek words to guarantee accuracy. A. "I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation"—Revelation 3:10
1. "keep … from" (tereo … ek).
Dr. Van Kampen says the Greek word translated "keep" (tereo) means, "guard, watch over or keep" (169). When coupled with "from" (ek) in this passage, he says "it carries the idea of protecting someone while he is within a sphere of danger, not that of keeping him away from the danger altogether" (175,176).
My reply: (a) In the only other place in the Greek NT where tereo and ek are used together (John 17:15), Christ prays that believers would be kept (tereo) out of or guarded from the evil (or evil one). This means protection from evil. (b) In Revelation 3:10 the promise is not to be kept merely from the testing itself but from the very hour of testing, i.e., the time when the testing occurs.
2. "Hour of temptation" (peirasmos and related forms).
Dr. Van Kampen says temptation (peirasmos) is not from God (James 1:13), therefore this "hour of temptation" cannot refer to the wrath of God (173f).
My reply: Peirasmos can mean either testing or temptation. There is no separate word in the Greek New Testament for "tempt." The context lets the reader know which idea is meant. In James 1:13 the word clearly means "tempt." But in Hebrews 11:17 the participle form of peirasmos is used of Abraham being tested to offer up Isaac. In Genesis 22:1 we discover God is the One who was testing Abraham. Evidently peirasmos can refer to divine activity! In Revelation 3:10, this word is used to describe the testing God causes to come upon the wicked inhabitants of the earth.
B. "…the one shall be taken…" (paralambano)–Matthew 24:40–41
Dr. Van Kampen says (comparing two Greek words translated "taken"), "Paralambano does not mean 'to be taken away,' as does the Greek word airo; it means 'to embrace or to receive intimately, to or for oneself.'" (181).
My reply: Paralambano is used of the soldiers taking Jesus into the common hall after He had been scourged (Matthew 27:27). Also, this word is used of the devil taking Jesus up to Jerusalem (Matthew 4:5) and up to a high mountain (Matthew 4:8).
C. "..then we who are alive and remain…" (perileipomenoi)—1 Thessalonians 4:17
Dr. Van Kampen says "the word means 'to leave all around, i.e., survive.' … [and here refers to] those who have survived Antichrist's persecution!" (182,183).
My reply: This Greek word is found only twice in the Greek New Testament, and both times are in 1 Thessalonians 4, first in verse 15 and then in verse 17. In neither instance does it refer to those who have survived Antichrist's persecution. Rather it refers to those living believers who have been left on earth in contrast with those who have already died and gone to be with Christ.
D. "He will send forth His angels…and they will gather together His elect.." (episunago)—Matthew 24:31
Dr. Van Kampen says "Therefore, episunago means a gathering together in an upward direction, or 'a taking up and bringing together.'" (184). His point is that this word refers to the Rapture because of the upward direction.
My reply: In Matthew 23:37 Jesus told Jerusalem, "how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings…". In Mark 1:33, a crowd "was gathered together at the door" of the place where Jesus was healing people. The "upward" idea is not a necessary part of this word's meaning. II. Miscellaneous matters A. I believe "the word of the Lord" in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 refers to divine revelation rather than to the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24) as Dr. Van Kampen thinks (112).
B. Dr. Van Kampen believes the great multitude of Revelation 7:9ff have just arrived in heaven and are in bodies, meaning they have been resurrected. He says, "But I have kept the best argument for last. Notice that when this great multitude arrives in heaven, they are seen 'standing before the throne … clothed in white robes…palm branches in their hands' (verse 9). You may wonder, 'So what?' to which I respond, 'They have bodies and the elect will not receive resurrected bodies until the Rapture!' Even the fifth-seal martyrs don't receive their resurrected bodies until the first day of the millennium" (158).
My reply: (a) The text does not say this multitude "just arrived" in heaven; it says John looked and saw them standing before God's throne. (b) On what basis can it be said that this multitude has bodies? Is it because they are standing? Is it because they are wearing white robes? Is it because they have palm branches in their hands and cry out in praise to God? The fifth-seal martyrs who are located under the altar also are given white robes to wear, and they, too, cry out to God with loud voices (Revelation 6:9–11). But we all recognize that they do not yet possess resurrected bodies.
C. Historical references, whether to Spurgeon (201, 202) or the early church fathers (189f) do not point to a pre-wrath Rapture view but to a posttribulation Rapture view. The burden of proof to show otherwise rests on Dr. Van Kampen.
D. Misunderstanding Mayhue (45). Mayhue does not say that the pretribulation Rapture view is logically invalid or at least unconvincing. What he does say is that at times proof given in support of this doctrine has been logically invalid or at least unconvincing. E. Dr. Van Kampen's attitude.
(1) Dr. Van Kampen is often combative to the point of badgering (35, 45, 49).
(2) Furthermore, he takes disagreement with the pre-wrath view personally, noting the 1991 resolution against Marvin Rosenthal's The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church came on his [Dr. Van Kampen's] 31st wedding anniversary (200) and ridiculing it (201, 202).
(3) Finally, he applies Paul's admonition to separate from disorderly brothers to those who believe in a pretribulation Rapture (130).

May FAQs
Q – Can I plant my marigolds and geraniums yet?
A– At the end of the month, but not before, unless you pre-warm the soil and provide special protection. But most annual seeds can be planted after the middle of the month, like nasturtium seeds. Wait till the end of the month to direct-seed basil. Plant summer-flowering bulbs like glads and cannas in mid-May, later for tender ones like dahlias. Start fertilizing on a regular schedule.
Q– Should I fertilize now?
A– First, make sure the soil you are using, whether in flower beds or in containers, is a good quality, enriched soil. Fertilize new transplants with a starter solution like MiracleGro. Continue to fertilize annuals on a regular schedule. Those that grow in full sun require feeding every couple of weeks for best results, more often for containers. Very vigorous plants in full sun, like trailing petunias, benefit from once a week or more often. Plants in partial shade, especially compact ones, need fertilizer less often. Containers in full sun do best with slow-release fertilizer (Osmocote pellets) at time of planting and again in mid-summer, in addition to regular liquid feed.
Q– When can I buy or plant my containers, or put out my moss basket?
A– Anytime the days are nice – but only those planters that are light enough for you to move inside if frost threatens. Moss baskets may be difficult for some people to manage moving. Containers received as Mother's Day gifts may contain cold-tolerant plants, like pansies or osteospermum; but do not consider them freeze-proof. Impatiens, begonias, and other warm-weather plants cannot tolerate cold nights at all. Start fertilizing weekly with liquid feed for full sun plantings, every other week for low sun or slow-growing plantings.
Q– Last year I had Lily Leaf Beetles that destroyed my Asiatic & Oriental Lilies. What can I do now?
A– Start looking for the red eggs on the undersides of leaves, and squish the eggs, or pinch off the affected leaf and destroy it.
Q– How should I fertilize?
A– We do not recommend fertilizing newly-planted perennials. Fertilize established plantings with organic fertilizer, aged manure, compost or synthetic 5-10-5 or 5-10-10. If soil is rich, additional fertilizer is not advised for perennials.
Q– What should I do for my roses now?
A– As they begin to leaf out, prune away any dead material. Start a regular fertilizer program and, when leaves appear, a regular spray program for diseases and pests. Consider buying roses that are disease-resistant. Our nursery staff can help with these selections.
Q– What other chores should I do now?
A– Support tall or floppy perennials with peony rings or tomato cages or install stakes to which plants can be tied as they grow. Tie loosely, so that stems are not strangled as they grow.
Spring-Flowering Bulbs:
Q – I can see lots of areas where I want more spring bulbs. Can I buy them now?
A– Bulbs are sold and best planted in fall. If you already purchased forced bulbs like tulips and daffodils in pots, you cant fertilize and water them, wait till the leaves die back, and plant them at a proper depth in the garden (see April entry). The best planning is done in spring, however, so make notes of exact locations where you want to plant more bulbs in the fall. Now is the time to fertilize spring-flowering bulbs to ensure good bloom next year.
Q – How can I ensure a great display of flowers next year?
A – Now is the time to fertilize spring-flowering bulbs to ensure good blooms next year. Bulb-tone or Bloom Booster are great fertilizers for bulbs.
Q -Can I plant the rest of my vegetable garden yet?
A– Even cold-tolerant vegetables should not go into the ground until the first of May in most gardens in Central Maine. Around mid-May, plant corn. Beans should wait till the end of the month. At last, after Memorial Day, you can plant warm-weather vegetable seedlings outside without much worry. Basil is about the last to go into the ground; June 1 is a safe time for basil. Start a regular fertilizing schedule.
Q- What should I do to care for my lawn?
A– Apply crabgrass preventative two weeks before the last frost.
Fertilize with lawn fertilizer such as 4-1-2 (high in nitrogen) at 1 lb. nitrogen per 1000 square feet.
Replant dead areas of the lawn, rake the seeds in well, cover with loose hay or pine needles, and water until the seedling grasses are established. Small dug-out sections of lawns are caused by skunks looking for grubs, so use a grub control. Keep it watered (especially new lawns) and healthy to avoid disease and insect problems. Compost lawn clippings after mowing, only if no herbicide has been applied to the lawn; or leave them in place on the lawn.
Garden Soil and Garden Locations:
Q– How can I get the best soil for my gardening needs?
A– See our many handouts on soil preparation, composting, etc. Also see our Retail staff for soil test kits and the University of Maine kit. Add as much weed-free, herbicide-free, plant-based, organic material as possible and dig it in as deep as you can. For containers, use a light, soil-less mix such as Pro-Mix. Use an organic mulch that does not have weed seeds in it and was not sprayed with herbicide.
Q– I have a very wet or dry area or other specific needs. What can I plant there?
A– See the related sections of our Plant Guide. Also see information sheets Landscape Plants for Moist to Wet Location and Landscape Plants for Dry Locations.
Q- How can I keep dogs and cats out of my garden?
A- Aside from fences, we recommend a product called Dog & Cat Repellent, for outdoor use only.
Trees, Shrubs and Vines:
Q– Should I apply lime or wood ashes to plants that love sweet soil?
A- Some plants, like lilacs, delphiniums, and clematis, do prefer a sweeter soil. However, continually adding sweetening agents can create a problem over time. Have the soil tested periodically to see if more lime should be added .
Q– Why is my forsythia only blooming on the bottom?
A – The bottom part was probably insulated by snow, and cold winter temperatures killed the top buds. Consider planting more modern, hardy varieties that are now on the market. Consult with our nursery staff.
Q– How do I plant my new tree or shrub?
A– Remove the plastic wrapping, netting, burlap or pot. Loosen any roots that may have become tightly wound around the rootball. Water well throughout the first spring, summer and fall. Do not fertilize the first year. (See our detailed handout.)
Q– What should I do for trees and shrubs now?
A – Apply appropriate fertilizer. Rhododendrons and azaleas should be fertilized with an acid fertilizer such as Holy-tone™ (if a soil test indicates that the soil is not becoming too acid) after flowering. We do not recommend fertilizing any newly-planted trees or shrubs until they have been in the ground for a year.
Timely tips:
• Now is the time to plant bareroot stock like asparagus. Soak roots in tepid water for several hours before planting. (Plants that are growing in pots are not limited to early spring planting.) Soak roots in tepid water for several hours before planting.
• Finish cleaning perennial beds of old debris. Replace worn-out mulch but keep it away from bases of plants.
• Prune any trees and shrubs that are not going to be flowering in the next few weeks. Remove branches damaged by winter.
• Fertilize spring-flowering bulbs. • Photograph your gardens now so you will know where to plant spring flowering bulbs this fall.

Traveling around the Iberian peninsula, you can't help but recall the triumphant pasts of Spain and Portugual as wealthy and conquering nations. The evidence is all around you, in opulent architecture and well-stocked museums. An escorted tour can prove helpful for the traveler who's looking to make the most of the many sights to be found between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic coasts.
Popular Destinations
Many tours aimed at providing a general introduction to Spain and Portugal will focus on their larger cities. In Spain, expect to see Madrid and Barcelona; in Andalucia in the southern part of the country, you'll stop in Sevilla or Granada, or possibly both. A trip that centers around the south might also include Cordoba or Malaga. Other popular Spanish destinations include Valencia, on the Mediterranean; Toledo, an easy day trip from Madrid; and Barcelona, Bilbao or Santiago de Compostela, in the north. In Portugal, you're sure to see Lisbon; Evora, the site of ancient ruins; and Porto, famous for its production of a variety of port wines.
Tour Operators
Several tour operators lead trips through Spain and Portugal; you can easily find a ritzy trip with stays in swanky hotels to a simple circuit at rustic bed and breakfasts. Abercrombie & Kent (abercrombiekent.com) have a 10-day itinerary that focuses on southern Spain and Portugal. Called "From Flamenco to Fado," it gives fairly thorough attention to the region, granted the time constraint. Insight Vacations (insightvacations.com) has several tours through the two countries that generally offer a broader view. For example, the 12-day "Iberian Classic" includes a jaunt up to Barcelona.
Themed Tours
For travelers looking for a tour with a twist, several operators lead trips around Iberia along a set theme. Whether your interests lie in art, history, gastronomy or active excursions, you're sure to find a tour that's specifically designed for like-minded folk. Globus (globusjourneys.com) offers a tour of shrines in Spain and Portugal as one of their faith-based travel excursions. In Portugal, you see the Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in Fatima, where the Virgin Mary reportedly appeared in 1917. In northwest Spain, you visit the pilgrimage site of Santiago de Compostela. The trip even extends across the Pyrenees to Lourdes, France, another pilgrimage destination.
History buffs may prefer a tour that focusses on Spain's paradors and Portugal's pousadas, historical buildings redesigned as hotels. Petrabax (petrabax.com) specializes in escorted tours based around the parador and pousada networks.
Additional Considerations
When selecting an escorted tour, keep in mind that each tour may include somewhat different aspects. Tours generally charge a flat rate, which includes most of the costs of the trip, such as airfare between destinations, admission tickets, meals and hotel rooms. In some cases, tours also include airfare to and from Spain or Portugal. Keep in mind that a larger escorted tour will, as a rule, take you mostly to the main tourist attractions. Depending on the particular tour package you select, your schedule may be filled with activities and your dining options may be largely predetermined.

Do you or someone you know have high blood pressure? There is really many answers on the web and around the world that can assist you with this complication. Typically when you have high blood pressure it may because of your eating habits and the things that you consume on a daily basis. Often times it has been thought that if you have a high temper, and you get upset very quickly and harshly then that will increase your blood pressure. Hence the statement or quote, "you have got me mad and raised my blood pressure!"
A Chinese study found that blood pressure fell in 14 of 16 individuals that were just giving something as simple as celery to eat.
The reality is that if you have high blood pressure or hypertension it is because of your diet; and not just what you are consuming but what you are not consuming. People who have hypertension or high blood pressure are typically people who eat excessive amounts of red meat, but they also have a very low intake of a very important mineral known as calcium. When you balance out and increase your calcium intake and also increase the amount of water you drink, lowering the amount of heavy red meats you consume you will see over a period of time your blood pressure will reduce and normalize (check with your doctor).
Have High Blood Pressure?
If you add to this lifestyle change, omega-3 fatty acids or essential fatty acids overall you will see even better results. In order to effectively normalize and reduce high blood pressure you must first target and produce a higher potassium rate and calcium and both are very important minerals to improving the reduction of hypertension. You should definitely add spinach or any other green leafy vegetables to your diet and if you are going to deal with meat as well, stay on the fish, chicken or turkey side of things for a while to help speed the process of lowering your blood pressure.
A Chinese study found that blood pressure fell in 14 of 16 individuals that were just giving something as simple as celery to eat. If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and are taking medicines for it, of course you must continue to take your medicine but make these minor changes in your life; reduced the red meat, incorporate more water, and get a healthy multivitamin (rich in calcium and potassium) much of one you can get from YoungevityProducts.org and of course include more green leafy spinach type vegetables in your diet and you should see results.
God bless and best of luck,

Dublin Airport's perfume and cosmetics store at The Loop in Terminal 1 has been voted the world's best airport perfume and cosmetics store.
Dublin Airport's T1 beauty outlet was voted best in the world in the Moodie Davitt Report Dreamstore Awards 2016, which are based on the views of the brand owners that supply the global airport retail sector. Other winners in the Dreamstore Awards included stores in Sydney Airport, Dubai Airport, Changi Airport and Hong Kong International Airport.
The Dreamstore Award is the third major international award for the re-developed airside retail area in Terminal 1 since it opened 18 months ago. The Loop at T1 "delivered a stellar beauty showcase since the completion of an €8 million store investment in March 2015," according to the Dreamstore Award citation. The T1 store was a "commanding number 1 in the category" and "earned wide acclaim from suppliers".
To select the Dreamstore Award winners, major international brand owners were asked a range of questions including which stores best understood their customers, were the most innovative, adopted a partnership approach, and added the most value to the travel retail experience.
Jackie McDonagh, Head of Retail at Dublin Airport, said: "This accolade is a huge honour for The Loop at Dublin Airport and for all of the team who work in the store and also to those who helped design and deliver our new perfume and cosmetics outlet. Our goal was to create a world-class airport shopping experience in T1 and the Dreamstore Award underscores our achievement.
"This award is significant because it was earned in such a highly competitive category and is also particularly pleasing because it represents a resounding endorsement from our brand suppliers of the quality of the retail product on offer in Terminal 1."
Terminal 1's re-developed airside retail area opened in March 2015 and has won praise from airport shoppers and the international travel retail trade. The state-of-the-art retail area, which comprises more than 1,830 sq m of new and improved stores, showcases the best of Irish and international brands and offers consumers a radically improved shopping experience.
In the past 12 months, The Loop at Terminal 1 has also won the Frontier Travel Retail Award for the Best Airport Retailer and the Speciality Concept of the Year at the same awards for its confectionery stores, Candy Cloud.
Other categories in the Dreamstore Awards 2016 included spirits, wine, fashion and accessories, confectionery and sunglasses.

- The boss' desk is cluttered with papers. (desk of boss)

Points to Remember:
In #4, the Robinsons don't own the next thing in the sentence ("paid"), so there's no apostrophe.
In #5, Miss Jones ends in "s," so the apostrophe goes after Jones. Otherwise her name would turn into "Jone."
In #10, remember that time expressions can have apostrophes: a day's pay, two years' experience, a good night's sleep.
