Welcome to this month's blog circle! When you're done here, check out the next leg of the happy-adventure over at Rebecca's blog!
I'm very excited about this month's Happiness Through My Eyes blog circle! I had the amazing opportunity to do a yoga photo shoot with Grace Studio as a way to illustrate my love of yoga for you!
I briefly considered trying to do a self-portrait yoga post but a) my yoga abilities aren't all that impressive and b) yoga self-portraits are HARD! I do have one good one for you, but it would hardly make for a fun Happy Blog Post!
Enter the talent of Grace Studio's yoga instructors.
Yoga makes me happy in a way that no other exercise does. I've been doing yoga at home (thank you youtube!) for about two years now and I can honestly say it's the first time in my life that I actually enjoy exercise.
Physical fitness became important to me when my husband and I started talking about having kids, and that was the first time since high school that I started paying attention to my health. It started with walks around the neighborhood and switching our refined grains for whole grains. More veggies. You get the picture.
After Daughter #2, I realized that I didn't just want to "loose the baby weight" but I wanted to model healthy fitness habits for my girls, and be strong for them long into the future.
My problem was that I had two babies under the age of three and I was too tired and unmotivated to go to the gym. I dabbled in a few zumba classes and I went for a few sloooooow jogs that we can call runs if we like. But I don't really like running! Or leaving the house to exercise, for that matter!
I was keeping up with regular walks... and with two kids in the stroller and all the hills in my cute German village, it was enough for awhile.
But I still had this nagging feeling that I wanted more from my exercise routine. And I knew what it was... I wanted to be strong! Inside, AND out.
So I bought a used yoga mat for $5 and I gave it a try. I was constantly in awe at the balance, flexibility, and strength of my video instructors. I thought, "When I grow up, I want to be like that!"
I wish so badly that I had had the foresight to take a "before" picture. I just didn't suspect that my yoga experiment would turn into a yoga journey! Growing up, we had a family joke about "Rawleigh girl upper body strength," by which we meant, "Rawleigh girls have the scrawniest, weakest arms EVER." :o) So fast forward about six months into a slightly consistent yoga routine and I found myself doing something I had never done before...
I stood in front of my bathroom mirror flexing. You heard me.
I HAD MUSCLES!!!! For the first time in my life I could see slight definition in those scrawny arms! What's more, I could FEEL the muscles in both my arms and my legs coming to life... I was less fatigued when keeping up with my girls or lifting heavy things. And most importantly, my chronic back pain (from a herniated disc in my lower back) was relieved when I did yoga!
I even found that I could do yoga in the evenings and it would calm me down and unwind me from the long days of being a stay at home mom.
For the first time in my life, I had found a form of exercise that I actually looked forward to. THIS is why yoga makes me happy!
And then other cool things started happening... I started to notice that I could do some of the poses I had previously only daydreamed about. Some of my goal poses seemed closer on the horizon that "ten years from now!" I can't bend in half quite as dramatically as Linda (above) but I found that I could reach my hands all the way around my feet when doing a forward fold!
That's a pretty big deal to someone who couldn't even touch her shins in high school!
A thousand thank you's to Jenny, Jonathan, Tish, and Linda for sweating it out on a 90 degree day for the sake of this blog post! I thoroughly enjoyed playing yoga with you. Your strength and flexibility are truly inspiring!
Hi me!!! Here's one of the few successful self-portraits I managed. I am following Laura Sykora's example of documenting your journey with process shots of your poses. I have a hand full now... I can't wait to see my progress with my back bend in the next three years!!!
If you want to give yoga a try risk-free, check out my three favorite youtube videos! Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown, Denise Austin Yoga Cardio Burn, and Sadie Nardini's Total Transformation. And if you ever have back pain, this video is amazing... Yoga for Back Pain Relief and Flexibility.
When I master a tough pose, fly crow for more than 2 seconds, or reach my heels to the floor in downward dog, I feel so happy! And I am starting to feel that if I can do those things over time, what can't I do??? I've got my sights set on some of these amazing poses above... maybe I'll even sign up for some yoga classes with Grace Studio to learn the mysterious path to a proper head stand!
Thanks for joining me for this month's Happiness Through My Eyes. No matter your level of fitness or your preferred method of exercise, I hope these photos inspire you to be fit for the rest of your life! Find something you love. You'll know when you do, because it will make you HAPPY to do it!
Now head on over to England to see what type of happy Rebecca Spencer has for you this month!

Convertible BMW M6 2017 is a cool car with a formidable force that will give the sensation of driving that cannot be forgotten. Yup, this cool car offers the power to 600 hp through competition upgrade package. To note, the M6 comes in a choice of body styles ranging from the coupe, four-door Gran coupe, and convertible. If we choose to get the upgrade package competition, then we will get additional powers over 25 hp compared from packages offered on previous models – 2015 and 2016.
However, if we do not pick the package offered and tend to choose the standard Convertible BMW M6 2017, then we will get a machine capable of generating power of 560 hp and torque of 500 lb / ft. It will depend and go back to the preferences of each individual to choose. When we decided to get the upgrade package competition, then in addition to gain more strength in engine performance, we will also get some other support items include 20-inch wheels, variable direct steering much more, stiffer suspension tune, and the stability control system that has a difference the stability control system on the standard Convertible BMW M6 2017.
Then, what about the transmission used in the upgrade package? Well, we'll get two transmission choices that we can select as needed – whether we will choose to get a 6-speed manual transmission, or whether we will choose to get a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. Convertible BMW M6 2017 is offered at a price and release time undetermined. With the specifications on offer, then certainly we are going to pay the price to get the car considerably higher than the previous model. Some have even predicted that the latest M6 will be offered at a price of more than $ 7,000 more expensive than the previous model. Interested to have it, guys?!.
In Dallas Auto Show 2016, the new BMW M6 has been spotted by tons of sights. They want to know how did the new M6 look alike. After knowing its presence, public consider it as one of the best new upcoming car series in 2017. Indeed, this achievement comes with strong effort. BMW got high rating for several categories which make them leading the list of the best car. So Convertible BMW M6 2017 will stay as your best choices right now. You better not pull this option out or you will lose anything.

Athletes from across the world have been ranked according to their marketing potential over a three-year period from this summer.
- Value for money
- Age
- Home market
- Charisma
- Willingness to be marketed
- Crossover appeal
Japanese, 19, Ski jumping
Japan's winter superstar leaps again for Olympic glory
Representatives: Hakuhodo DY Sports Marketing
Key partners: Mizuno, Uvex
2015 ranking: New entry
Two years ago in Sochi, Japan's highest-flying winter sports star landed just short of history. At the age of just 17, Sara Takanashi was tipped to become the first ever female Olympic champion in ski jumping. A fourth-placed finish, though admirable, was anti-climactic.
Takanashi has responded like an athlete keen to make up for lost time, even with so much of her career remaining. She won 14 of the 17 World Cup events completed in 2015/16, taking her third title overall, and would be a prohibitive favourite were the next Games an imminent prospect. Instead, brands have two years to build campaigns around an elite star in a discipline that, not so long ago, represented one of the last barriers to gender equality in Olympic competition.
Those Games in PyeongChang begin a three-event swing through south-east Asia that also takes in Takanashi's native Japan in 2020. As a winter athlete, of course, she will not be a part of her home Olympics, but the enthusiasm with which domestic companies have embraced Tokyo's commercial programme could well extend to her bid for gold.
There are immediate sponsorship opportunities available. Slovenian ski supplier Elan announced in April that it would be withdrawing from ski jumping, thereby ending its long-term partnership with Takanashi and leaving one of her most important categories open. ECblog comments powered by Disqus

Pre-order Thinking & Making on cassette and digital
Melbourne's maestro of the loop pedal Great Earthquake returns with his third album Thinking & Making, out on cassette and digital on April 27.
Like the the album's first single 'Learn to Love the Ordinary', Thinking & Making is unhurried and meditative and further investigates Great Earthquake's (AKA Noah Symons, drummer with Last Leaves) recent dalliances with lyric repetition as an added texture in his layered, largely instrumental post-rock.
The raw, unfettered approach to composition and recording lends a dreamy ebb and flow to the album; Weirdo Wasteland's Doug Wallen recently described Great Earthquake as "a mercurial one-man-band, wrangling miniature whirlwinds of itchy indie pop before letting them dissolve back into the ether".
Thinking & Making is a collection of tactile, immediate and unpolished odes to keeping it real. As Noah sings – "Learn to love the ordinary, engage the senses, enjoy the feeling".
Great Earthquake perform a free all-ages instore at Polyester Records, Fitzroy on Friday, April 27, 6pm.
Mad Music is the third album by Ciggie Witch and it comes to you lovingly this Friday, October 13 on cassette and digital only.
Order Mad Music on cassette
Order Mad Music via iTunes, Amazon, etc
Chiming guitars and lush synth soften the blow of the anxiety-laden lyrics you've come to know so well from the Melbourne six-piece who share members with the likes of The Ocean Party, Pregnancy, Monnone Alone, Totally Mild and Jade Imagine.
Over the years Ciggie Witch have perfected their sound but it's never going to be perfect – the feeling that everything might fall apart at any minute might even be enough to keep the millennials listening past the one minute mark.
Recorded in the bedroom of founding member Zac Denton, Mad Music is twelve tracks spanning odd-ball pop, heartbreaking ballads, spoken word and straight-up jangle.
Taking a more collaborative approach than in the past has made for a diverse and interesting album that never takes itself too seriously, but in true Ciggie Witch fashion can be heartbreakingly honest.
"It continues to amaze me how consistently good these guys are; some artists are prolific to their own detriment, but as Zac and
his pals illustrate, there's not a bad track this round." – Austin Town Hall
At last!! It's been a long time coming but we now have the scouts' honour from the vinyl pressing plant that we'll be receiving the Last Leaves Other Towns Than Ours LPs back next week in time for the (latest) release date of October 20!
Order on vinyl LP or CD
Order via iTunes, Amazon, etc
It's been worth the wait. The ten songs here showcase a band already at the top of its game, from the perfect fuzz pop of first single 'The World We Had' and the irrepressible jangle of 'Something Falls' to darker moments like mesmeric closer 'Where I Lived and What I Lived For' and the downbeat Silver Jews swagger of 'The Nights You Drove Me Home'.
Having premiered the latest single 'The Hinterland' a few weeks ago, we're now also excited to announce the video which stars Shannon Dowling from Melbourne band Spit and was filmed by Geoffrey O'Connor in the Dandenong Ranges.
And don't miss Last Leaves performing a free all-ages instore at Polyester Records in Fitzroy this Saturday, October 14 at 4pm.

Skip to comments.More info on the Middle East situation from Amir, 9/13
Posted on 09/13/2017 5:56:10 PM PDT by firebrand
More true facts and explanation of complexities in the Middle East situation right now.
Also, a discussion of all the catastrophic world events and what they mean--for us!
Some thoughts on the Antichrist to come possibly out of Europe.
Cuba trip canceled because of Irma but a Florida trip is coming up.
Be at peace and don't be afraid. Keep spreading the word until the end.
Enjoy this, whatever your thoughts may be about the 23rd. Try not to quibble. Just be grateful and tell as many people as you can.
The only problem in the ME is islam. Eliminate the islam death cult and live in mostly peace.
You are absolutely correct! However, Jesus is the only one who can do that and He is starting the program in about a week.
I seem to recall that this September in the 20 somethings 2017 there is supposed to be an end of the world thing going on.
Is that what you mean?
1CO15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1CO15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
God. KING JAMES BIBLE TOUCH - KJV (Kindle Locations 45413-45415). Kindle Edition.
"In ancient times, some understood that night begins in a moment in time which is impossible to determine called the twinkling of an eye. This is interesting, as Paul prophesied that the righteous would be resurrected in the twinkling of an eye. "
The Feast of Trumpets, and the start of Hebrew Year 5778 starts a sundown in Jerusalem on September 21, 2017. That is 1837 hours Charlie Time (UTC +3). The "twinkling of an eye" happens as some time that no one knows, shortly there after.
1TH5:05 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1TH5:06 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 1TH5:07 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 1TH5:08 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 1TH5:09 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1TH5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 1TH5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

These and many more Scriptures point to the Victors of Revelation Chapters 2 and 3, and the five wise virgins of Matthew 25:1-13 being taken up 21 September 2017 around 1537 UTC.
That link (torahcalendar.com) is a Christian site, and doesn't make any mention of calendar moments, which are actually explained in detail here:
In reviewing the data on the page I linked, I noticed that days and times break down into units that are interconnected with man (adam) on multiple levels; e.g. 12 gates [(שער) x 12] are represented within a unit of 5 seconds (6840 moments), which is 1/12 of a minute.
It goes on with how many chalakim = 50 gates (375); that the value of one chalak (חלק) = 138 (= Tzemach), thereby 50 gates = 375 x 138 = 51750 = 50 x 1035; 1035 is the triangle of 45 (Adam), one "gate". And 45 = T9
The star number of 1441 is constructed on 12 triangles of 120 (T15) plus 1, the center point. 1440 + 1.
(15 degrees per hour x 24 = 360 degrees = one day.)
Adam (אדם) = 45
Days of man - 120 (Gen 6:3)
Minutes in a day - 1440, = 12 x 120
Pairs of gates: 570 x 2; 1035 x 2. The difference between them is 930, the life of Adam.
1 chalak = 76 regaim; 375 chalakim (which are 50 gates) = 375 x 76 = 28500 regaim (50 x 570). 1 rega (רגע) = 273, therefore 50 gates in terms of each moment/rega = 28500 x 273 =
I really don't think anyone knows what time it is!
Adam = alef (1) dalet (4) mem (40)
If I had an easy way to draw pictures (of the triangles and stars), it gets even better. Essentially the 12 triangles of 120 each form two triangles, by the six in each that are right side up:
Each of these triangles = 1035
The three "empty space" middle triangles are each 105 (T14). Extract those from each triangle, now you have six. They now make two triangles each of a base 28 (406), the ones facing up:.
Layer them on top of each other (one rotated 180), and you have the 541 star of David, which is based on 12 triangles of 45 (adam) each (T9), + 1.
Theres's no escape.
(I really hope I didn't mess up typing out the math!)
Hebrew words, times and cycles are all interconnected with man's comings and goings.
Mile a minute that mi d if yours. Nice.
There's no escape. Amen, Brother!

For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,

And from ancient times things that are not yet,
Saying, My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,
End אַחֲרִית 'achărîyth, akh-ar-eeth'; from H310; the last or end, hence, the future; also posterity:(last, latter) end (time), hinder (utter) -most, length, posterity, remnant, residue, reward.
Beginning רֵאשִׁית rê'shîyth, ray-sheeth'; from the same as H7218; the first, in place, time, order or rank (specifically, a firstfruit):beginning, chief(-est), first(-fruits, part, time), principal thing.
Beginning, aka Genesis
Genesis 13
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents. 6 Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abrams livestock and the herdsmen of Lots livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
8 So Abram said to Lot, Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9 Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other. 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. 13 But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the Lord.
And they're still arguing over the land.

Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
The Ruler / Anti-Christ
The fourth kingdom
Daniel 7, 8 While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.
Revelation 17:7 But the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
The ten nations are listed in Psalm 83. The king in Daniel 7:24 is the ruler/anti-Christ and after he rises three kings are uprooted.
Muammur Kaddafi was the third king uprooted, the other two, Hosni Mubarak and Saddam Hussein. And uprooted is the perfect word as these three had nearly 100 years of combined rule. No small feat indeed.
Now on to Revelation
Revelation 9, The shape of the locusts is a map of the current middle east
First youll need a map of the Middle East, here's one.
Right click on the image choose rotate clockwise 90° so that west becomes north, in a sense.
Revelation 9:7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like womens hair, and their teeth were like lions teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
1. Horses prepared for battle, Turkey is the rider with an upraised arm. [1]
2. Crowns of gold, Sinai
3. Faces of men, Jordan
4. Women's hair, Lebanon
5. Lions teeth, Jordan
6. Breastplates of iron, Iraq
7. Wings, Iraq
8. Tails like scorpions, Somalia and the UAE
This map also explains the phrase: an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived
Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and The Six Day War.
Revelation 13:14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
The books of the Bible are divided into three catagories called Tanakh
Torah the Five Books of Moses
Nevi'im the Prophets
and Ketuvim the Writings
First and Second Kings are in the Nevi'im, the Prophets section
2 Kings
12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. 28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. 30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
31 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
This story is not only history it's also prophesy as Yeshua will do the same thing to...
Why The Ruler Is A Muslim (the anti-Christ)
Bottom line is, a Roman/Italian/European ruler (anti-Christ) is complete fiction
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
וְאַחֲרֵי הַשָּׁבֻעִים שִׁשִּׁים וּשְׁנַיִם יִכָּרֵת מָשִׁיחַ וְאֵין לוֹ וְהָעִיר וְהַקֹּדֶשׁ יַשְׁחִית עַם נָגִיד הַבָּא וְקִצּוֹ בַשֶּׁטֶף וְעַד קֵץ מִלְחָמָה נֶחֱרֶצֶת שֹׁמֵמוֹת
City: עִיר
Kodesh: קֹּדֶשׁ
Kodesh means 'Holy' not sanctuary... it's a mistranslation
Those who teach a European ruler (anti-Christ) are broadcasting from Jezebel's table
Shabbat Shalom!
These hurricanes serve a couple of purposes. One is judgement on the USA for trying to divide Isreal. The other is practice for what is coming to the foolish virgins who are going to be left behind to become Tribulation Saints.
Ps 90.4. For a thousand years [541] in your sight are but like yesterday* when it is past, and like a watch in the night:
*Yesterday is etmol, but here it is yom et mol (day of yesterday) so to see the gematria I am rewriting as:
For a thousand years [541] in your sight are but like a day [238], yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night:
Gen 29:20. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel [238]; and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her:
Rachel = 238; Kever Rachel = 540 (the basis of the 541 Star of David).
Yet another 778.
Rachel and David connect in Bethlehem. 238 + 14 = 252
This is another star number foundation: (21 x 12) + 1 = 253
21 = T6 = (אהיה, Δαβιδ)
253 = T22 (total of the alef-beit, ordinals)
Gen 30
22. And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb [253]:
23. And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God has taken away my reproach:
24. And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son:
The other son (descendant) she saw was through Joseph (she saw him in Joseph). Rachel's soul went out at the birth of Benoni (along with that name, "son of my strength"), in 2208.
David was born in 2854. 646 years later, or 288 + 358.
Thus the diagram shows her womb (253, the sum of 1-22, David + Rachel +1) within Israel. 253 + 288 redeemed sparks forms Israel (541), and 288 + Mashiach (358) is the timeline from Rachel's death to David's birth. And the sparks came from Gen 1:2,
And a wind from God moved [mem + 288 + tav] upon the face of the waters, the death of 288 sparks being positioned between the Ruach Elohim (where Rachel is encoded every other letter), and the phrase "upon the face of the waters" = 335 = Rachel Imenu.
Followed up by the first result of Creation, "and there was light" = 238 = Rachel.
David was born in 2854 and lived 70 years. Add another 2854 and the year is 5778, placing David is the center of the human timeline:
2854 --- 70 --- 2854
107 = Magen David
Then you have the David of Camp David turning 70 on Pesach 5778, Camp David connecting with the timeline of Jacob's reunification with Joseph. Five years (final letters totalling 3500 years, from 2238 + 3500 = 5738). Camp David - agreement to give back the Sinai to Egypt, the place of 40 years in the desert, the place where the Law was given, the date of which is the traditional date for the birth and death of King David.
The timeline from the death of Rachel is 30 + 3500 + 40: her death [in Bethlehem, where David was born] until the reunion of Jacob and Joseph, 30 years + 3500 years + 40 years
The Haftarah read along with the reunion of Jacob and Joseph is Eze 37, the two sticks [family trees] rejoined under David.
Then 3500 years to Camp David
Another 40 to 5778, T107 (Magen David), and when David of Camp David turns 70.
Gen 35:
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-El...
And let us arise, and go up to Beth-El...
So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-El...
And he built there an altar, and called the place El-Beth-El...
And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried beneath Beth-El...
10. And God said to him, Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; and he called his name Israel:
11. And God said to him, I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come from your loins:
And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Beth-El...
16. And they journeyed from Beth-El; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath (fruition); and Rachel labored with child, and she had difficult labor...
pakad pakadti
Jacob + Rachel + Mashiach
Beth El + Rachel Imenu
Amir's reason for saying a European (or actually he is saying someone out of Europe, who could be a Jew) is that he knows Israelis; most of us do not. They would follow a Jew as their Messiah, of course, but also a European. Never a Muslim. Amir's great talent is combining his deep earthly knowledge with prophecy. He has deemed the situation in today's Europe to be ripe for a leader to emerge.
This is not a quarrel but an attempt to clarify a couple of things.
3500 years (500 + 600 + 700 + 800 + 900) = 70 x 50
A Passage to Sinai
Perhaps the count toward the number 50 finds its most well-known historic expression in the Exodus and its aftermath. exodus: 50
The momentous event that commemorates the birth of the Children of Israel as a nation was the exodus from Egypt. Not only is there a twice-daily remembrance of this milestone,5 but much of mitzvah observance is marked by repeated references to the Exodus. Its central importance is due to this event celebrating the Jewish Peoples brand-new state of existence.
The number 50 is used as the measure that places something at a distance. The Talmud notes the use of a rope measuring 50 cubits for matters such as measuring the 2,000-cubit distance of techum Shabbos, the distance beyond the city one may travel on Shabbos.24 Because of the negative impact of a granary, leather tannery, and cemetery, these were not halachically permitted to be located within 50 cubits of the city.25 Of course, the 50-day journey from Egypt to Sinai ensured that Israel was no longer under the sinful influence of their idolatrous past.
The average value of the final (end, sofit) letters = 700, the nun sofit, whose regular value is 50.
The nun is the fourteenth letter of the alef-beit, which equals David, the progenitor of the eternal Kingdom of Israel. The heir to David is Mashiach ben David, of whom is said: As long as the duration of the sun his name shall rule. Our Sages teach us that one of the names of Mashiach is Yinon (shall rule), cognate to nun.
700 is the assigned value of a nun sofit, but not used in standard gematria calculations. In counting, 700 is written as a tav and shin:
tav (תו) = 406
shin (שין) = 360
= 766, which is the gematria of Yinon (ינון) when the nun sofit is counted as 700:
yud 10 + nun 50 + vav 6 + nun sofit 700 = 766
Yinon = tav + shin, which is 700, the final nun.
As written in Ps. 72, Yinon (ינין) = 770 (Beis Mashiach), alluding to 7*70, Bethlehem, where Ben-oni and David were born. And also the Joseph the "just man" (ha-Tzaddik) of the NT.
The mission for all of us is to reveal and draw G-ds infinite light down into this world,14 so that we can see the true reality of the worldthat everything is G-dliness and G-dliness is everything. This is done by cleaving to G-d and observing His commandments. This concept is expressed in the straight, long (final) nun,15 which has a design similar to the vav, a chute. In contrast to the vav, however, its leg extends beneath the baseline. This implies the downward flow of Divine energy reaching into even the deepest abyss. This will ultimately happen with Mashiachs arrival.
Nun peshutah that goes beyond the baseline, into the dark place - big miracle:
Excellent! 17:20 min video about the nuns and miracles:
Letters of Light: Nun - Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin
The nun (50) represents a measuring line, and the final nun is a straight line. A line is a kav (קו) which is 106, same as the letter nun (נון), and also "106" as written ק'ו.
Rachel Imenu, 335,
And a spirit from God moved upon the face of the waters [335]:
This spirit (in which Rachel is spelled out in every other letter) is compared to a dove hovering over the waters, which makes perfect sense from looking at the phrase "upon the face of the waters", al panei hamayim:
Roshei teivot - aphah (עפה): "she flies" and "she flew".
1.to fly (by one's one power, like a bird).
A dove is an oph (עוף), a bird.
1 Kings 2:10. And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David:
1 Kings 8:1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the people of Israel, before king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the city of David, which is Zion:
Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David)
The cities of David: Zion (where David was buried), and Bethlehem (where Rachel died and David was born).
Zion = 156 = Joseph
Bethlehem = 490, 7*70
156 + 490 = 646, the years between Rachel's death in Bethlehem and David's birth in Bethlehem. City of David.
Ben-oni = "Yinon comes", who appears in the word Zion. The tzaddi is the only compound letter in Zion, formed from a yud + nun:
Yinon as written or as spoken.
Something similar happens with David's sheep (צאן). The alef is a yud + vav + yud, so by spelling out the sheep there is Zion, and also Yinon:
The name Ben-oni, unlike Benjamin, is hyphenated, so the nun on "ben" is a nun sofit. The gematria of the name using the final nun value is 769, which in base 12 = 541. Just thought I'd toss that in. :)
The names of the 12 Tribes of Israel, which were engraved upon the Stones worn by the Kohen Gadol, have a total of 50 letters, 54 merged as one entity with their Creator.
Thus, the 50th is the point of arrival. This is where man has come all the way. This is the ultimate level; man has successfully completed the requisite stages of the natural passage and progressed to transcend up to the Godly level of eternity. This is the dimension of Torah, of Divine understanding, of true freedom. It is where Israel transcends to truly become one with God.
Those guys have no idea. But there's a book to buy.
End times profits.
(They don't see the irony in the end-times house of merchandise, either.)
It's the end times all right.

A new analysis maps out water across the lunar surface, revealing how its abundance changes with latitude.
Water is the most abundant chemical compound in the universe. It turns up in all sorts of places, including, in itsy-bitsy quantities, on the Moon.
The map at right reveals how much water exists in the dusty "soil," or regolith, that covers the lunar surface. The map is a new analysis of data from a NASA instrument that flew aboard the Indian mission Chandrayaan-1, which studied the Moon from 2008 to 2009. The instrument mapped out the near-infrared wavelengths that lunar dust absorbed, across a range that reveals spectral patterns from water — or, more specifically, H2O and hydroxyl (OH), which researchers lump together under the name "water."
Back in 2009, a different team used these data to show that there's a wee bit of water spread all over the Moon, with more toward the poles. Observations from two other missions backed up the result.
However, there's been discussion since then about how well the team was able to account for things like the Moon's surface temperature at different locations. Shuai Li (now at University of Hawai'i) and Ralph Milliken (Brown University) decided to do a new analysis. Reporting in the September 13th Science Advances, the team produced the new, far more detailed map shown here.
The map reveals that water becomes more abundant with higher latitudes. The concentrations max out at about 500 parts per million (ppm) in the southern hemisphere and 700 ppm in the northern one. Extrapolating from the 2009 announcement, I reckon you'd need to process 1 ton of regolith to obtain 16 ounces of water. That's the same volume as a bottle of Snapple.
So don't saddle your spacecraft just yet.
Except for the latitudinal gradient, water's distribution is largely uniform. There are a few places that show minor upticks, associated with volcanic deposits that may have brought the water with them from the lunar interior. But remember that these data only apply to the film of dust covering the Moon — there's no information here about what lies in the surface itself. And because the instrument measured reflected light, there's also no information about what lies in shadowed places like the permanently dark craters at the poles, which scientists think contain water ice.
Chandrayaan-1 mostly saw the Moon at the about the same time of day, but what little information it grabbed at different times suggests that the dust's water content changes over the course of a lunar day. There's more in the morning and afternoon than there is at noon, suggesting the water might be reaccumulating.
The researchers still don't know where the water comes from. The responsible process, or processes, must preferentially destroy water at low latitudes in order to explain the global pattern, Li explains. One possibility is the solar wind. Charged particles (mostly protons) stream out of the Sun, and when these whack into oxygen-rich minerals on the Moon they create H2O and OH. This same wind would also destroy the molecules. The solar wind's impact energy is stronger near the equator than at high latitudes, so although it would create less water nearer the poles, it would also destroy it a lot less there.

Author: Ingrid Jonach
Edition: Paperback
Publication: Strange Chemistry / September 3, 2013
Source: Borrowed
Pages: 312
Genre: Sci-Fi, Romance
Trailer: Watch it HERE.
Looking back, I wonder if I had an inkling that my life was about to go from ordinary to extraordinary.
When sixteen-year-old Lillie Hart meets the gorgeous and mysterious Tom Windsor-Smith for the first time, it's like fireworks — for her, anyway. Tom looks as if he would be more interested in watching paint dry; as if he is bored by her and by her small Nebraskan town in general.
But as Lillie begins to break down the walls of his seemingly impenetrable exterior, she starts to suspect that he holds the answers to her reoccurring nightmares and to the impossible memories which keep bubbling to the surface of her mind — memories of the two of them, together and in love.
When she at last learns the truth about their connection, Lillie discovers that Tom has been hiding an earth-shattering secret; a secret that is bigger — and much more terrifying and beautiful — than the both of them. She also discovers that once you finally understand that the world is round, there is no way to make it flat again.
An epic and deeply original sci-fi romance, taking inspiration from Albert Einstein's theories and the world-bending wonder of true love itself.
All I ever learned about this book was that my friends liked it so much. Good thing I didn't know anything, even the synopsis, because I like how my stories take me by surprise. Like When the World was Flat took me by surprise. I was banged by the chest so hard by how intense the surprise was!! NOPE, I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS STORY IS THIS MIND BLOWING. Wow. I was really, absolutely, amazingly surprised.
I did have issues though with the world building because some parts got me questioning the reliability of the "creation of dimensions", "sliding" and "merging" parts but STOP!! I won't going to even think about it (also, I was utterly uncomfortable with the characters but they're hilarious). I just wanted to honestly say I loved how - can I say time travel? or what, dimension travel? - THIS was incorporated to Lillie and Tom's story. It was Fallen (Lauren Kate's series)/Time Traveler's Wife vibe all over again! It was THAT greatness of a love that knows no bounds. The sense of home by being with someone, the comfort and ability to identify how much you know someone incredibly warmed my heart. No one can ever be wrong by picking up stories, love stories for that matter, that defy human nature or even science. At the back of my mind, a little thought plays that there could be possibilities that these amazing stories could be true and I couldn't stop imagining how brilliant it would be. Like, you could literally say I LOVE YOU, FOREVER, right? How strong that love is if you will slide from one dimension to another to find the person over and over again? Incredible. Hard probably but just incredible. I mean, I couldn't even wrap my head about the massive string theory sub-plot! The love story just blended fantastically with this take on parallel universe and that's the part that sated my need.
When the World was Flat defies the norm and brilliantly showcases timeless love in a whole new level. Truly engaging, this book surely puts romance to the pedestal it deserves.
Thank you, Dianne of Oops, I Read a Book Again!, for lending me the copy!

GREENCASTLE, Pa. - Borough taxpayers in Greencastle can breathe easier following a vote by the Borough Council Monday not to raise taxes to pay for its $836,000 budget for next year.
The council set the same 10.6 mill rate as the current year. One mill generates $32,119, Borough Manager Ken Myers said.
The police department budget went up from $257,000 this year to $342,000 for 2004. That budget represents about 41 percent of the total budget. Last year, it was 35 percent.

- Category: Latest updates
James is currently shooting the pre-WWII spy thriller directed by Andy Goddard (Downtown Abbey) from a first-time screenplay penned by Eddie Izzard collaborating with fellow actor, Celyn Jones.
Production began on Monday, 25 June 2018 in Wales (UK) and should continue till 20 July.
Synopsis: (Production Bulletin)
Summer 1939. Influential families in Nazi Germany have sent their daughters to a finishing school in an English seaside town to learn the language and be ambassadors for a future looking National Socialist.
A teacher there sees what is coming and is trying to raise the alarm. But no one is listening.
Eddie Izzard will play Thomas Miller, a literature and language teacher born to English and German parents who teaches members of the German League for Girls.
As the Second World War looms, Miller is framed for murder and accused of being a German spy after he confronts the League's charismatic leader, a staunch supporter of Adolf Hitler.
Judi Dench will portray Miss Rocholl, the stern school headmistress who comes to Miller's aid after he goes on the run and attempts to exonerate himself.
James D'Arcy plays Captain Drey, a role we really don't know much about yet. (IMDB link)
Jim Broadbent is Charlie.
Filming Locations:
The boarding school in the story is supposed to be set in Bexhill-on-Sea in Sussex, but since some of the buildings are too modern for a 1930's seaside town, the production turns to Wales for that. They will shoot in Bexhill and Llandudno in Northern Wales also. (Wales Online)
DOP is Chris Seager (Game of Thrones, Call The Midwife, A Dance to the Music of Time)
Produced by Mad As Bird Films Sean Marley, Andy Evans, Ade Shannon, Alex Ashworth and Sean Marley.

Nouse - Aesthetica 2017: Day Four Tuesday 14 November 2017 by Andrew Young, Anastasia Arsentyeva and Jasmine Onstad
James D'Arcy's first foray into directing made him one of the biggest names at the festival.
Sharp and witty with a surprising ending Chicken/Egg was a lighthearted conman romp, reminiscent of BBC's Hustle.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) plays Kenneth, an out of luck conman who calls upon the help of his nephew, a children's magician, to keep him on the straight and narrow.
The clever script and hilarious giant chicken costume immediately get the audience on board as the film builds perfectly to the surprising but satisfying conclusion.

Carrie assembles an A team of off-the-book spies to "shake up" Simone who delivered the $50,000 payoffs to a prison guard the day before Gen. McClendon died in custody. The purpose of the mission is to connect Simone to Wellington.
The team includes Anson (James D'Arcy), Dante (Morgan Spector), Max (Maury Sterling) and three other men from previous CIA missions: Stein (William Popp), Doxie (Clé Bennett) and Bennet (Ari Fliakos).
The idea is to have them pretend to be disgruntled prison guards wanting a bigger payoff, rough up Simone so that she would go running to Wellington.
Anson (James D'Arcy) is first on her list...

James D'Arcy recruits Bill Nighy and Jack Lowden for his comedy, "Made in Italy"
- Details
- Category: Latest updates
Our wonderful James D'Arcy who has written several screenplays in the past, found two brilliant leads for his first full-length feature film which he wrote and will be directing next year, a comedy called "Made in Italy."
His co-stars, Bill Nighy (Count Bilbuloff in The Bass Player) and Jack Lowden (Collins in Dunkirk) have signed to star in it.
It appears to be same project James was developing since 2015, called "The Long Way Round." Pippa Cross and Sam Tipper-Hale presented "The Long Way Round" at the MIA Co-Production Market in Rome last year.
"Made in Italy" is set in Tuscany with Nighy as a bohemian London artist who returns to Italy with his estranged son (played by Lowden) to make a quick sale of the house they inherited from his late wife. However, they are shocked to discover their once beautiful villa has fallen into disrepair. --- Screen Daily
Renovations go badly, and father and son find themselves at odds – not for the first time. Nighy's character then falls for a vivacious young Italian chef, who restores both body and soul until the pair find their relationship in jeopardy from her jealous and threatening ex-husband." --- Variety
Shooting of "Made in Italy" will start next year (2018), in London and Tuscany.
Producers: Pippa Cross, Janet Day & Sam Tipper-Hale (London's CrossDay Productions)
Nicola Serra (Italy's Palomar Television & Film Production)
Worldwide Sales & Distribution: Gabrielle Stewart (Hanway Films)
HanWay Films will commence sales at the American Film Market.
Release Date: Late 2018 or early 2019
Chicken/Egg featuring two charismatic co-actors, Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter) & Nicholas Coster-Waldau (Virtuality) was James D'Arcy's first short film. He wrote the script while on a plane to L.A. for Agent Carter and directed it in April 2016.
It won three nominations and screened at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on 23 June 2017.

James D'Arcy in "Das Boot"
- Details
- Category: Latest updates
James has been added to the cast of Das Boot , a German mini-series set during WW II, Deadline.com reported:
Tom Wlaschiha (Game of Thrones), Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men), James D'Arcy (Marvel's Agent Carter) and Thierry Frémont (Juste un regard) round out the cast of Das Boot, as filming begins on the Bavaria Fernsehproduktion, Sky Deutschland and Sonar Entertainment co-production. The series is shooting in Prague, La Rochelle, Malta and Munich.
The four join an international cast including Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex), August Wittgenstein (The Crown), Rainer Bock (Inglourious Basterds), Rick Okon (Tatort), Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread), Leonard Scheicher (Finsterworld), Robert Stadlober (Summer Storm), Franz Dinda (The Cloud) and Stefan Konarske (The Young Karl Marx). Das Boot starts in autumn 1942, as U-boat warfare becomes increasingly brutal. While a very young crew put out to sea on a dangerous combat patrol, the Résistance rises in the U-boat port of La Rochelle.
The eight-part TV series is set right after the events of Wolfgang Petersen's 1981 Oscar-nominated anti-war classic Das Boot. Tony Saint, who wrote the BBC drama Margaret Thatcher: The Long Walk to Finchley, co-writes the Das Boot script with German screenwriter Johannes W. Betz, whose credits include the award-winning period dramas The Tunnel (2001) and The Spiegel Affair (2014). Andreas Prochaska is directing. Sky plans to premiere the series, budgeted at around $28 million (€25 million) across all five of its European territories in 2018.
According to Hollywood Reporter Das Boot —The Series starts where the film ended: at La Rochelle harbor where the crew of the U 96 submarine surfaces only to be hit by an Allied bombing attack. Like the original film, which was based on the best-seller by German writer Lothar-Gunther Buchheim, the Das Boot series will be told from the perspective of the German soldiers. The new series, however, will extend that perspective to include characters from the French resistance, who help the Allies in targeting the German military. The producers say the series will have a strong, anti-war message. "Telling an anti-war story is now more relevant than ever," said Bavaria Film CEO Christian Franckenstein.
Variety wrote about the project in 2016:
The TV drama primarily focuses on the German perspective of events, but also includes the experiences of French Resistance and Allied forces in the war. Running through all the action is Buchheim's central theme: the blind fanaticism that drives young men into a senseless war.
Christian Franckenstein, CEO of Bavaria Film, said in a statement: "Today, more than ever before, anti-war stories need to be told. The notions of war and terror are ubiquitous. The misguided actions of young men driven to commit acts of terror by false ideologies are obvious." Franckenstein added: "The 1981 film 'Das Boot' is unique, and we are approaching our work with the greatest of respect for this masterpiece. We want to build on the strong brand of 'Das Boot' and continue telling the story in a contemporary manner by making use of every filmmaking and storytelling technique available to us today."
The series is expected to begin airing in 2018 across all the Sky territories: Germany, Austria, U.K., Ireland and Italy.
Oliver Vogel ("Dengler," "SOKO Stuttgart," "Dr. Klein") and Moritz Polter ("Spotless," "Crossing Lines") are executive-producing for Bavaria Film. Marcus Ammon and Frank Jastfelder will oversee the production for Sky. Carsten Schmidt, CEO of Sky Deutschland, said: "With 'Das Boot — the Series,' we have once again found a subjectmatter that fits Sky perfectly and will excite our customers… [It] is the next step into the field of original fictional productions at Sky, and others will follow. Sky… continues its transformation into an entertainment brand for the entire family."

A Dreamy Agent Carter Reunion in "Kevin (Probably) Saves the World"
- Details
- Category: Latest updates
Agent Carter had such a special place in the hearts of creators, Tara Butters & Michele Fazekas that they added the voices of the actors into a special scene in their new ABC series, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World.
Butters said: Agent Carter "was so much fun. We got to do the show that we wanted to do. I'm super proud of that show, and I think everybody that was involved in it feels the same way."
"I also think that if we told them tomorrow that they were going to let us do an 'Agent Carter' mini-series, they would all sign up for it" added Fazekas.
"Butters, Fazekas and many of the actors and writers have remained in close contact since the show wrapped up in 2016, on a text chain that often sees weekly communication. So when the idea came up to bring some of them on "Kevin Probably Saves The World," it was an easy outreach."
"They all share our appreciation for the ridiculous, and I think that was helpful," Butters says.
"Everyone is all over the world, everyone has different jobs, and this is something that is really easy to do," says Fazekas. "Even if you're working, even if you're somewhere halfway across the globe, you can go to some facility, record a couple of lines and leave. It's not a big commitment, so that's sort of also what made it ideal."
In the opening scene of last night's episode, Tyler (Dustin Ybarra) reads a letter from his Canadian love, when he has a moment of fantasy and some of the breakfast food start talking to him.
"James D'Arcy voices a pat of butter on an English muffin, Enver Gjokaj embodies a milk carton, and Wynn Everett plays a pancake."
This breakfast fantasy sequence appeared on "Kevin (Probably) Saves The World" (s1 ep12) "Caught White-Handed."
It aired on Tuesday, 16 January 2018 at 10pm /9C on ABC.

James D'Arcy cast in Season 7 of "Homeland"
- Details
- Category: Latest updates
THR, EW, TVLine reported today that James is set to play Anson, an overly self-assured former special ops agent who trained at "The Farm" (CIA's Camp Peary) with Carrie Matheson (Claire Danes).
In Season 7, Carrie takes on President Keane's (Elizabeth Marvel) administration for arresting 200 members of the intelligence community, including Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), without charges in the wake of the assassination attempt on her.
Carrie will take on the president gone rogue with a "key assist" by James' character.
Linus Roache features as President Keane's right hand man; and in the past seasons, Rupert Friend was Peter Quinn and Damien Lewis was Nicholas Brody. (Both didn't end well)
The show began filming Season 7 in Richmond, Virginia and surrounding areas in September 2017 and will continue through February 2018. They are filming long hours, Monday through Friday for 12 plus hours a day with 12 episodes to be filmed.
Homeland Season 7 will begin airing on Sunday, 11 February 2018 at 9 PM ET/PT.
James has been given a recurring role, which is good news, as Season 8 has also been green-lighted to wrap up the series.
So hopefully, we might see him for 2 seasons.
Here's a look at this Emmy & Golden Globe winning show: James appears very briefly at 1.41 of the trailer.

00Lithium X Interview with Thomas Buelens & First Stills
- Details
- Category: Latest updates
A recent interview with 001Lithium X cinematographer, Thomas Buelens by Leslie Charreau was posted on The Belgian Society of Cinematographers. It reveals very interesting insights on the filming and many new stills of James.
Here are some of the highlights, skipping the technical camera & lighting details. For the full interview, please go Here.
001Lithium X by Guy Moshe is now in post-production, but there is still some filming to be done:
We shot mostly in June and July 2017. But because the weather is always so unpredictable in Europe, and we really needed sunny exteriors, we still have one week of shooting planned in the spring in the desert nearby Los Angeles.
Well, as you know it's still going on (post-production), but the director is very happy with the images and quite surprised which is nice, because normally directors hate the first cuts.
Why it was a challenging shoot:
Then everything went really fast. Guy was supposed to do another film (an action movie, The Last Draw of Jack of Hearts) before this one, but it got delayed, so he decided to start the production for this one earlier. This is why we had only three weeks of prep and four to shoot. I think we missed one more week of prep and another one for shooting, but basically we managed because we had a lot of studio. Still, it was very hard on everyone, especially on Guy, because he had a lot of pressure on him.
James D'Arcy is involved in another movie by the same director, with Josh Hartnett and Ron Perlman:
The Last Draw of Jack of Hearts was scheduled to start filming in Naples and Lithuania in April or March 2017 (before 001Lithium X), but was delayed. The film is still listed as being in "pre-production" although Highland Film Groups is already selling it at Cannes & Berlin. Source: Showbiz Funds IMDB
Josh Hartnett is a former black ops soldier who is betrayed and left to die during a secret mission in Africa. He resurfaces in Naples to right past wrongs and win back the love of his life. Guy Moshe is behind the camera & wrote the screenplay. Guy's bio at TRB-LA says that he is prepping to shoot The Last Draw of Jack of Hearts after having completed 001Lithium X. Photo Source: Canal +
What is was like to work with the director, Guy Moshe:
At first it was a bit challenging. Like I said we didn't have a lot of time to prep and since it was the first time we worked together, we had to learn how really fast. But once we started shooting everything went smoothly. We almost didn't have to discuss, because we had a really nice connection. Another nice thing about him was that he is very knowledgeable and experienced. He had a very strong and clear vision of his film, he knew exactly how everything will be edited and how he wanted to tell this story, so I just had to lean into his vision and suggest my ideas.
What the story is about:
It's a satirical psychological drama about one man's acceptance of his mortality. It looks a bit like a sci-fi movie, but more foresight than classic sci-fi, because in fact it's very realistic. The future described is the one right in front of us if we don't change, with the whole issue on pollution, global warming and the ozone layer deteriorating. It's really scary to realize what could happen maybe thirty or forty years from now.
When I read the script, I was really sunk into it, because certain moments of the story really flip you upside down. You can't predict what is going to happen next.
To summarize it : the whole world lives during nighttime, because during daytime there is too much pollution and radiation, and it's too toxic. Plus everybody lives almost exclusively through virtual interactions.
On the main character played by James:
Our main character is very stubborn and old-school, so he decides to still live physically during the daytime. For instance, he still goes to his office and sits there alone.
The challenges of filming daytime scenes:
For the outside daylight settings, we really wanted the viewer to feel like the protagonist was burning and that they could almost feel the heat coming from the screen. We managed to do this with a lot of lights: Dino's, 20KW, Jumbo lights just blasting on the character. It was really tricky for James D'Arcy who played the main character, because, in the film, in order to get outside, he has to suit up in a rubber suit with a mask to protect himself from the radiation, but in reality, it was really hot under those lights. So every time he had his suit on, we had to go really fast, so that he wouldn't burn up. It was really uncomfortable, but he gracefully succeeded as he knew the results would be worth it.
The difficulties filming nightime scenes:
Yes, for obvious reasons since the people in the film live during the night, we had to shoot quite a few exteriors during nighttime. And for scheduling reasons we had to shoot these nights in the middle of the shoot and it was very hard on all of us. But in the meantime, it was quite funny, because, as our characters, we had to live at night and sleep during the day. We were kind of living inside the story. (Laughter)
Plus we had another problem: we were shooting a nighttime film during the worst period possible, the summer! When the nights are getting shorter and shorter. We even shot during the shortest night in the year! We had maybe four hours of real darkness. This was very challenging for me. When you are tied up by the budget or the planning, you can always do 10 minutes overtime to finish a take. But you can be the best DP in the world, you can't fight the sun. If the sun comes up, it's over. It was very hard, but in the same time, kind of amazing to work under this pressure…
On James and the actors on the set:
The main character is played by a really interesting actor, James D'Arcy, who recently starred in Dunkirk by Christopher Nolan. I would say he is almost in every scene of our movie, so it was very challenging for him. He is a very cool guy offset, always joking around etc. When the camera starts rolling, he snaps into perfect character.
We also worked with Delroy Lindo who played in a lot of Spike Lee's films, like Malcolm X. He's a remarkable actor. We also had the sweet Anna Brewster, a British actress, who played in Versailles and Stars Wars VII. It was really important to have such amazing actors, because this movie is character driven.
On other collaborations on the set:
We all had a few weeks of prep and every department managed to get ready in a very short time, which was kind of amazing. For instance, the art director only had two weeks to build an entire house interior, and they did a beautiful job.
I couldn't choose my own crew, so I had to work with people I had never met. It was very challenging for me to trust people I didn't know, hoping they will do a good job. I really enjoyed working with my gaffer, Vitalij Kutko. He was one of the best gaffers I've ever worked with. He was very motivated and super experienced. He worked on a lot of American films like Defiance by Eward Zwick and Transsiberian by Brad Anderson. I think we had like six or seven people on the electrical department, maybe less on the studio part. But for them it was very tricky, because they had to wait for the set to be built to begin the pre-light. They started rigging the lights while the art department was still painting. We only had one day of pre-light, which was nothing for a film like this. For instance we had a really big window inside the house, 8 meters wide by 4 meters high, through which we would see a big skyline on the background. For this we used a Translight that we had to fly over from the UK and we had a big lighting rick for all settings: day, night, magic hour etc. For obvious planing reasons, they had to rig and program all the lights before the shoot. My gaffer really saved us because he was able to work really fast.
I also really enjoyed working with our first assistant director, Laura Stankevičiūtė, who was also an amazing talented person. When you shoot for three weeks inside a studio, you can become a bit claustrophobic, but she managed to keep the moral high with good vibes while keeping everything on schedule without too much overtime.
When it will be released:
It should be released somewhere end of 2018.
Synopsis : In a nearby future: due to the degrading ozone layer over the planet, the temperature has risen to 50 degrees Celsius during the day, therefore, turning the rhythm of life upside down – people sleep during the day and live at night. Communication in the virtual world becomes the norm blurring the limits between what is real and what is virtual. Adam Bird has an unhealthy heart. His last hope is to use a government-funded program to receive a clone heart. His ex-wife agrees, but she has a different plan…
Casting : James D'Arcy, Delroy Lindo, Gina McKee and Anna Brewster.
Production Companies : Chimera Pictures, Lituanica Films
The first stills look amazing!!!
What Went Right With… James D'Arcy?
- Details
- Category: Latest updates
Posted on 02 July 2017, this article from WhatWentRightWith.com is so spot-on about James' career. Thank you to the astute unnamed author who wrote it.
James D'Arcy is a very underexposed and underrated actor. His roles which are usually small or sometimes in unsuccessful films have kept this very talented actor from becoming a household name. It's a strange situation that just because someone's films are either commercial failures (Jupiter Ascending), poorly directed (W.E.), or underrated (Cloud Atlas), the talents of the performers can also go unnoticed and without praise. This is an unfortunate thing to happen, after all it's not always the actor's fault that a film is less than satisfying, sometimes that's down to the director, the writer, the editor, the promoters, or a combination. When it comes to D'Arcy, it's never his performance that hampers a film's success, in fact he is usually the person to look out for.
It's funny that the audience and critics can't see past an average film and notice the talent of one or two of the actors. Along with the underrated Rachel Miner, James D'Arcy played the jittery, awkward (and psychopathic) neighbour in the home invasion thriller In Their Skin very convincingly. With all the problems with the film itself (plot, script etc.) it was James' acting that kept me engrossed. From In Their Skin, the aforementioned Cloud Atlas to playing Anthony Perkins in Hitchcock, D'Arcy's performance for me is always enjoyable.
On a side note, in my article about Benedict Cumberbatch, I mentioned the fact that many people out there confuse these two actors. That really is a shame, especially since James D'Arcy in my opinion, is the more gifted actor of the two. To prove this confusion, after posting the Cumberbatch article, I've had many people navigating to it after writing search terms such as "Benedict Cumberbatch Cloud Atlas" and other annoyingly similar terms. The fact that Benedict Cumberbatch seems to be getting recognition for films he hasn't even appeared in is very irritating to say the least.
D'Arcy these days is better known for his television roles in Broadchurch or Agent Carter rather than his film work. It's unfortunate that he's taken part in movies such as Let's Be Cops or Survivor, films that must be pot-boiler work rather than those selected to showcase his skills as an actor. To break from this string of mediocre movies, James D'Arcy will appear in the upcoming Christopher Nolan film Dunkirk, but since he's not one of the main characters, his performance may once again go unnoticed. Casting directors and the casting department in general, really need to get their act together because they are underusing one of the best actors out there right now. They instead seem to be preferring weaker and less talented people simply because they have acted in more profitable movies. That's not how filmmaking should work, how will someone ever get out of a casting rut if nobody takes a chance and casts them in a better movie? Until someone breaks this vicious cycle, James D'Arcy will undoubtedly be part of a few more lacklustre films, but if you ignore other less important aspects of his movies and concentrate on his performance, it becomes obvious that D'Arcy is a very talented actor.

A moving account of the years leading up to the death of the poet, Edward Thomas.
Nick Dear's play explores Thomas' relationships with the American poet, Robert Frost, who became his mentor and close friend, and British author and poet, Eleanor Farjeon, with whom he shared a mutual adoration.
Listeners also journey into his somewhat uneasy marriage with Helen Thomas who suffered at the hands of both these relationships, as well as having to suffer the effects of Thomas' regular bouts of grim depression. Listeners eventually discover that Thomas' great passion for nature and the countryside was the real reason for him signing up to go to war - his overwhelming need to protect The Dark Earth and The Light Sky.
The finalists will be announced on Thursday 04 January, 2018, and the winners at a ceremony in the Radio Theatre at BBC Broadcasting House, London on Sunday 28 January 2018 evening.
