Typically, essential oils are derived from six different sources: herbal, citrus, floral, woody, musky,
or spice origins. For example, traditional musky scents include frankincense and myrrh. Jasmine, rose and
lavender recall familiar floral scents, and sandalwood echoes fragrant woodsy notes.
Due to the complex chemical structure of essential oils, an informed manufacturing process is critical.
The goal is to achieve the perfect balance of primary scent, strength of scent, and duration of scent.
Fragrance oils ready the body for prayer
Prime Products offers a vast array of scented oils, perfume oils, fragrance oils, and essential oils.
Each type of oil has a distinctive story about its history and usage. Oil classifications often shift and
overlay each other according to the regions, countries, and cultures of origin. For example, essential
oils are also known as pure oils. Some familiar oils, often used as religious oils, include Frankincense and Myrrh.
Fragrance oils are also known as scented oils, body oils, or perfume oils. Many of these oils throughout the
world are used during religious services. Examples include: Lavender, Rose, Sandalwood.
General Safety Information: Do not take any oils internally. Use extreme caution when using oils with
or around children. Do not allow children to ingest oils.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: seek fresh air immediately, if breathing is difficult -see doctor. Eyes: Flush immediately with
clean water for at least 15 minutes. Contact doctor. Ingestion: give water to dilute, see doctor, or contact

The Behavior Patterns of Birds
Todd A. Culver
Birds have many behaviors that help them to survive. Some of these are learned behaviors, but many others are not learned. Behaviors that animals are born with are called instinctive behaviors. Some instinctive behaviors help birds recognize enemies. Great kiskadees display an instinctive behavior related to coral snakes, which eat young birds. Even though they have never seen a snake, hand-raised great kiskadees are frightened by sticks that have been painted to look like coral snakes. Newly hatched herring gulls know by instinct to peck at the red spot on the bill of their parents in order to be fed. Pecking becomes more accurate as the baby gulls learn to anticipate the position of their parents' bills when they return with food.
Birds also learn very well. Young birds learn to recognize predators by observing the behavior of other birds. Many species of birds make loud, scolding calls when they discover predators such as owls, cats, or snakes. Flocks of birds attack and usually drive away the predator a behavior called mobbing. Inexperienced birds quickly learn to associate danger with mobbing. Some birds learn how to build better nests as they get older and more experienced.
Living in a Community
Birds that stay all winter in northern regions have little time to do anything but find food, water, and shelter. Some species form large social groups called flocks. Among these species, some form flocks in the winter, some remain in flocks year-round, and others never form flocks at all. Living in a flock has two big advantages: It is easier for the many eyes of the group to find food and to spot predators. A bird in a flock is much less likely to be killed by a hawk than a lone bird singled out for attack. Usually all the birds in a flock do the same thing at the same time they sleep together, feed together, and sometimes even breed together
Often, winter birds living in small flocks establish a system of dominance, which is sometimes called a pecking order. Pecking order is organized so that each bird pecks another bird lower in standing within the group and submits to pecking by birds of higher rank.
In flocks with dominance systems, the highest ranking bird gets first choice of food, water, even mates, while others wait their turn. Dominance helps all the birds in the flock to survive by reducing competition. Being lowest bird in the pecking order is better than fighting over every scrap of food with all the members of the flock.
Birds use a variety of methods to protect themselves and their offspring against enemies. Some birds that are colored or patterned so that they blend with their surroundings can often remain undetected if they stay still. This type of protective coloration, or natural camouflage, not only helps a bird avoid enemies, but it also helps a bird get close to prey without being seen.
Other birds may flee or hide. As a last resort and if it cannot escape or hide from danger, a bird will fight using its beak, legs, or wings, depending on its species. Sometimes, a bird will try to distract an intruder from its nest by making a noisy disturbance or pretending to be hurt and, therefore, easy prey. Once the intruder follows the "wounded" bird away from the nest, the "wounded" bird flies off.
Establishing a Territory
In general, male birds migrate north before females. They need to arrive early to stake claim to a territory. A territory is a fixed area that is defended continuously for a period of time. Most birds defend territories during breeding; some defend territories all year long. Both males and females defend territories, but most often it is the male who works hardest to defend the territory. Birds establish, maintain, and defend breeding territories in order to attract mates, find appropriate nest sites, and find enough food to raise hungry nestlings.
Bird songs may sound beautiful, but birds do not sing to make music; birds sing to attract mates and to tell other males to stay off their territory.
Birds are capable of an enormous variety of vocalizations. Traditionally they are divided into two groups: calls and song. Calls are short, simple vocalizations such as calls of distress, feeding, flight, flocking, and warning. Songs are long vocal displays with specific repeatable patterns. Normally only males can sing. However, some females, such as northern cardinal females, sing quite well.
Birds can sing more than just one specific song. Birds generally have between 5 and 14 songs, but some species have many more. Northern mockingbirds and wrens are capable of producing hundreds of songs. Besides helping males to defend their territories and attract mates, songs can warn others about potential dangers; can say "Here I am where are you?"; and can tell other birds the species, age, sex, and experience of the singer.
No two birds sing exactly the same song. Subtle differences in the pitch and timing of songs are used to recognize individuals. Birds are able to identify their mates, young, parents, and neighbors. Penguins returning to nesting colonies that may have tens of thousands of birds are able to locate their mates by picking out their unique call from the deafening chorus of the colony.

Republican Arizona Senator John McCain will work with Senate Democrats on legislation to expand background checks for private sales of firearms between individuals.
"We've had discussions about the issue," McCain told The Hill. He declined to provide details.
Smoke and mirrors: Bloomberg says NRA power "is lost" despite fact organization is working with Democrats to pass legislation.
Democrats recently sidelined Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, who is an advocate of the Second Amendment, and are now working with McCain and Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Dean Heller of Nevada to implement gun registration in the United States, a precursor to confiscation.
Illinois Republican Senator Mark Kirk will likely support the expanded background check legislation negotiated with two key Senate Democrats, the notorious gun-grabber Charles Schumer of New York and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
"Sen. Kirk remains largely supportive of the background check proposal so far negotiated between he and Sens. Manchin and Schumer, and he will continue negotiating for language to protect veterans' Second Amendment rights," said Lance Trover, Kirk's spokesman.
Manchin is described as a moderate Democrat. The NRA portrays him as a defender of the Second Amendment and has given him an "A" rating. "Joe Manchin is committed to protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms guaranteed to all Americans," NRA Chairman Chris Cox said in October.
"I don't know anyone who in the hunting or sporting arena that goes out with an assault rifle," Manchin told Morning Joe in December. "I don't know anybody that needs 30 rounds in the clip to go hunting. I mean, these are things that need to be talked about."
Arguments presented by Democrats have consistently portrayed the Second Amendment as a hunting and self-defense right. The founders, however, insisted the Second Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights so that citizens might be sufficiently armed to resist tyranny.
A Senate aide to Susan Collins said she has discussed the legislation with Democrats. Dean Heller said he is "open-minded about expanding background checks," according to The Hill, and has some of the same reservations as Coburn.
"Coburn and I share that concern only because you have to keep those records from 15 to 20 years and even proponents of the legislation say they would subject law-abiding citizens to stings by the ATF," the Nevada Republican said.
McCain is considered key because he has a "B-plus" NRA rating. Heller has an "A" rating and Collins a "C-plus" rating. Kirk has failed the NRA litmus test and is considered a threat to the Second Amendment and the gun rights of Americans.
Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, will introduce bipartisan "gun violence" legislation on the Senate floor in April. It is uncertain if the bill will get the 60 votes required to beat a filibuster.
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has spent millions of his own money to undermine the Second Amendment, has praised Reid's work in the Senate.
"I applaud Senator Reid for sending a bill to the Senate floor that includes comprehensive, enforceable background checks – and for emphasizing that to be effective, any bill that passes the Senate must include background checks," said Bloomberg. "This sensible reform – with overwhelming support from Americans, including gun owners – will save lives and keep our communities safer."

The Jewish community of South Padre Island, Texas, is mourning the loss of native-born Sgt. Sean Carmeli, one of 13 soldiers from the Golani brigade who died in battle overnight in the Shejaiyah section of Gaza City.
Sean, known in Hebrew as Nissim, was born to Israeli parents—Alon and Dalya Carmeli—who had moved to the island in pursuit of business opportunities. Over time, along with his parents and two sisters, he reconnected with his Jewish roots and began living a Torah lifestyle.
"Sean was a gentle kind boy," says Rabbi Asher Hecht, co-director of Chabad of the Rio Grande Valley, who met the boy in summer of 2006 when he and a friend ran a day camp for local Jewish children. "He was the oldest of the local boys in our camp, and was a sweet and kind example to everyone else."
"He was my older brother, my best friend, my everything," Hecht reports being told by a community youth, who continued to say, "I need Sean now more then ever now."
The Carmelis were leaders in the religious awakening that took place in the community during the first decade of the millennium. Within a few years, community members constructed a synagogue, hired a rabbi, and almost all of the members of the tight-knit community observe Torah and mitzvot.
Alon Carmeli purchased the community's first Torah scroll and dedicated the synagogue in memory of his father-in-law, Nissim Buganim, after whom his son was named.
After spending his summers in the Chabad day and overnight camps, Sean's parents saw that their children were growing up without many Jewish friends and made the decision to move back to Israel, said Hecht. Sean, who held dual U.S and Israeli citizenship, completed high school in Ra'anana and went on to join the army where he served with honor and distinction in the Golani brigade.

San Diego Comic-Con is usually a Mecca for fans of all shapes and sizes, from both mainstream and obscure nerd culture. Whether they're there for superheroes or zombies, fans expect panels, signings and activations from the most zeitgeist-y shows, but Game of Thrones and Westworld fans are about to be super disappointed, since HBO has just announced that neither show will have a presence at SDCC this year.
No, you didn't read that wrong. Two of the most buzz-worthy sci-fi/fantasy shows currently on television are officially sitting out this year's con.
HBO released the following statement today: "Due to production schedules and air dates for Game of Thrones and Westworld, these series will not be presented at San Diego Comic-Con this summer. HBO has a longstanding relationship with SDCC, and we are very grateful for the fans' enthusiastic response over the years. We look forward to returning in the future."
Shots from the Game of Thrones Set Just Revealed a MAJOR Season 8 Spoiler
Considering Game of Thrones won't return until 2019 and Westworld will have recently aired its Season 2 finale by the time SDCC rolls around, it sort of makes sense that neither show would have much to present yet. That doesn't make us feel any better about missing out on these fan exerperinecs though, and we imagine fans who already dropped a nice chunk of change on flights, hotels and badges to see these panels and activations are none too pleased either.

Ryu dominates as Dodgers take down Giants
Puig has eventful day in right; Federowicz, Gonzalez hit RBI singles
SAN FRANCISCO -- Don Mattingly said it seems like nothing comes easy, and he wasn't even talking about Yasiel Puig.
The Dodgers manager was talking about Thursday's 2-1 win over the Giants that avoided a series sweep and included a handful of plays that illustrate how maddeningly spectacular his young outfielder can be.
The Dodgers won because Hyun-Jin Ryu threw seven scoreless innings, outdueling Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, and marking the occasion with a sign above his locker paying tribute to victims of the ferry disaster in his South Korea homeland.
"It's an unfortunate situation for the citizens of Korea, with a very heavy heart, and tonight I wanted to pitch well to give a brighter side to think about," Ryu said.
They won because Adrian Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to 12 games with an RBI single and Tim Federowicz finally broke into the RBI column with a two-out single in the second inning.
They won despite a high-wire act by relievers Brian Wilson and Kenley Jansen, Wilson facing his former team in his first appearance since coming off the disabled list, Jansen hanging on for a save two days after letting one get away.
And naturally, all of that had to share the spotlight with Puig, because he can't stay out of it and doesn't seem to want to. Puig dropped a wind-blown fly ball with his customary nonchalant one-handed style, but immediately turned the misplay into an assist by throwing out Brandon Belt at second base. That's Puig.
Then he made a remarkable overhead stabbing catch of Gregor Blanco's line drive that would have tied the game in the second inning and a long running catch of Joaquin Arias' fly in shallow right-center immediately after Ehire Adrianza led off the eighth against Wilson with a double. In between, Puig actually made a two-handed catch.
"He's been incredible in right field," Mattingly said. "I was thinking about that during the game. If there's a guy you want out there, you need to throw a guy out from there, Yasiel is the guy."
He's definitely the guy, his harrowing journey out of Cuba having come to light this week in several magazine articles that Puig still won't talk about.
The Dodgers won even with Hanley Ramirez sidelined by a bruised left hand. Justin Turner, who filled in for Ramirez, doubled leading off the fifth inning and scored the second run.
Ryu (3-1) allowed four hits and avenged his only bad start of the season, when the Giants scored eight runs (six earned) off him in only two innings on April 4.
"I had better control on my end this time, and less mistakes," said Ryu.
Ryu has thrown 26 scoreless innings on the road this year and a total of 28 dating to last year.
"I think Ryu was pretty good today," said Giants catcher Buster Posey. "He did a good job of pitching off his heater and everything kind of came out [of his hand] looking the same."
After Federowicz's RBI single in the second gave the Dodgers the lead, Puig's circus act took over. With one out and Belt on first, Puig dropped the one-handed try, saying later the ball hit his glove and his sore left thumb. He recovered and gunned to second ahead of Belt, who had to hold up halfway between first and second. So instead of an error, Puig was credited with an assist. The next fly ball hit his way in the seventh inning, Puig made a two-handed catch. He didn't have that luxury on Blanco's ball, racing back and reaching up for a desperate web gem.
Dodgers hitters did a good job running up the pitch count of Bumgarner, who also appeared to have a running disagreement with plate umpire Seth Buckminster over the strike zone.
Bumgarner already had made 89 pitches going into the fifth, which opened with Turner doubling to left field. Turner tagged to third on Puig's flyout and was singled home by Gonzalez, chasing Bumgarner while extending his hitting streak to 12 games.
Matt Kemp, who dropped Hunter Pence's routine fly ball Wednesday night, battled the wind to run down Michael Morse's tricky fly on the warning track to end the sixth inning.
Jansen wound up making 30 pitches in the ninth, which started with a strikeout of Morse, only for the slider in the dirt to bounce past Federowicz.
"That's all on me," the catcher said. "I wish they had given me a passed ball. I easily block that ball 99 percent of the time and I can't let it happen again. Should have been a 1-2-3 inning."
Federowicz was relieved with his hit, which broke an 0-for-17 drought.
"I know I can hit, I always have," he said. "But to look at your average going down all the time, it's not that fun."
Or that easy.

The power of a Java persistence solution like DataNucleus is demonstrated when persisting relationships between objects. There are many types of relationships.
When the relation is unidirectional you simply set the related field to refer to the other object. For example we have classes A and B and the class A has a field of type B. So we set it like this
A a = new A(); B b = new B(); a.setB(b); // "a" knows about "b"
When the relation is bidirectional you have to set both sides of the relation. For example, we have classes A and B and the class A has a collection of elements of type B, and B has a field of type A. So we set it like this
A a = new A(); B b1 = new B(); a.addElement(b1); // "a" knows about "b1" b1.setA(a); // "b1" knows about "a"
So it is really simple, with only 1 general rule. With a bidirectional relation you should set both sides of the relation
As previously mentioned, users should really set both sides of a bidirectional relation. DataNucleus provides a good level of managed relations in that it will attempt to correct any missing information in relations to make both sides consistent. This is defined below
For a 1-1 bidirectional relation , at persist you should set one side of the relation and the other side will be set to make it consistent. If the respective sides are set to inconsistent objects then an exception will be thrown at persist. At update of owner/non-owner side the other side will also be updated to make them consistent.
For a 1-N bidirectional relation and you only specify the element owner then the collection must be Set-based since DataNucleus cannot generate indexing information for you in that situation (you must position the elements). At update of element or owner the other side will also be updated to make them consistent. At delete of element the owner collection will also be updated to make them consistent. If you are using a List you MUST set both sides of the relation
For an M-N bidirectional relation , at persist you MUST set the one side and the other side will be populated at commit/flush to make them consistent.
This management of relations can be turned on/off using a PMF property datanucleus.manageRelationships . If you always set both sides of a relation at persist or update then you could safely turn it off.

Seeing the new analog-to-digital converter (ADC) IP being bandied around by the FPGA vendors got me wondering what is behind all this. It all boils down to the fact that a comparator is, in essence, a one-bit ADC, while an LVDS I/O receiver is a comparator. Most new FPGA families have LVDS I/O as an option, and it is not hard to add a discrete LVDS RX chip to a CPLD input bank.
Thus, a programmable comparator may be created by feeding an LVDS I/O an analog voltage. This may be a single-ended comparator. If two I/Os are employed, a window comparator may be realized. The analog voltage may be created via a pulse-width modulated (PWM) channel within the FPGA, allowing it to self-tune the comparator. This means any unused LVDS channels can be employed for things like system monitoring or generating alarms for external conditions with the addition of signal conditioning circuits like op-amps or instrumentation amps plus sensors.
Though not the subject of this blog post, this also serves as the basis for many of the new ADC modules we are seeing released as IP for FPGAs. (The secret sauce is how they read the LVDS I/O and drive the PWM to achieve 12-bit accuracies and 1MHz conversion rates.) A comparator is fast — 400 MHz or more — whereas the ADC uses more FPGA resources and is slow, but it gives resolution in bits.
The LVDS I/O will have an allowable common mode voltage range specified in the FPGA vendor's data sheet. Be sure that your design will observe this range, and don't forget to allow for the offset between the positive and negative LVDS input pins.
Also, the LVDS I/O specifies a certain amount of hysteresis, so make sure to include it in your design calculations. Again, this may vary from vendor to vendor, depending on silicon characterization, but it should meet the LVDS specification's minimum/maximum values. This data sheet for a Maxim discrete LVDS receiver IC shows a common mode range (2.36 V) and hysteresis (50 mV) typical for an LVDS I/O.
Accuracy can be enhanced by reading calibration values from an SPI or I2C serial EEPROM into the FPGA. These can be used to store offsets, temperature calibration, voltage calibration, etc. Furthermore, the FPGA fabric or microprocessor core embedded in the FPGA can run a checksum or cyclic redundancy check on the calibration at every boot or periodically.
Even with the good hysteresis provided by the LVDS I/O, the comparator can chatter on a slow, noisy signal. If this occurs, you will need to follow it up with a good debounce circuit inside the FPGA. Here an example of a debounce logic circuit with an associated VHDL.
As I previously mentioned, a window comparator can be fashioned from two I/O channels, and this can even serve as the partial basis for a hysteretic switch-mode power-supply controller fashioned within the FPGA.
A programmable comparator may drive a counter/timer module in an FPGA. It may also serve as the basis for a built-in self-test (BIST) for a multi-clocked design. A multiplexer can feed signals into the counter/timer module and allow measurements of things like clocks, synthesizers, and other Analog/RF/IF components to be read back into the FPGA for test.
The LVDS I/O in the FPGA can also be used as programmable logic threshold I/O for legacy digital IC compatibility applications. Any logic threshold within the vendor's LVDS common mode range that the I/O will support can be set via the PWM, allowing plug-and-play capability with legacy systems. This lets you create a variable threshold FPGA logic analyzer for BIST or other applications.
One could also use the comparator to create a one-shot or mono-stable mutivibrator for a special application. Regular multivibrators or programmable oscillators are another possibility, while voltage controlled oscillators and alignable Xtal (crystal) oscillators could be used to build special pressure and temperature sensors.
Have you used any of these techniques — or similar or related ones — in your FPGA designs?

William Stafford Centennial
William Stafford Retrospective Exhibits
Date: January 21, 2014 Location: Watzek Library
Watzek Library
William Stafford at 100 ~ A Centenary Exhibit
William Stafford (1914-1993) was one of the most prolific and important American poets of the last half of the twentieth century. Among his many credentials, Stafford taught at Lewis & Clark College for 22 years, served as consultant in poetry at the Library of Congress, and received the National Book Award for his poetry collection Traveling through the Dark (1963). Stafford at 100 - A Centenary Exhibit on display at the Aubrey R. Watzek Library exhibits a selection of photographs, manuscripts, books, and artifacts from the William Stafford Archives. This exhibit showcases materials from each period of Stafford's life and career including his work in the Civilian Public Service, the Library of Congress, as an educator, and as a renowned poet.
The Exhibit is open from January through December 2014
Photographs by William Stafford: Curated by Kirsten Rian
From curator Kirsten Rian: "With his camera, Stafford provided a visual to this looking, and perhaps for himself and his own process as a writer, an additional outlet to augment and reflect the play of light and shadow within human nature, within the ways of the world, he wrote about for decades. Like his pen, his camera was never far from his hand–the 16,000 negatives prove that. His camera was then perhaps also a tool, a partner, in the seeking and finding amidst the commotion of life, in the resulting eloquence and wisdom, grace and thoughtfulness of his singular voice."
Kirsten Rian curated 180 images from the over 16,000 taken by William Stafford to be included in a multimedia exhibit as part of the centennial celebration of Stafford's vision. From these are images depicting Stafford's life, family, friends, and literary figures from around the world.
A multimedia exhibition of the Photographs by William Stafford is on display in the Watzek Library atrium in connection with the William Stafford at 100 - A Centenary Exhibit. An additional framed selection exhibit is on display in the main hall of Miller.

If you want to see all the latest aircraft you need to visit Mon-Wed, Thursday will see a bit more of a mix as 'normal' acts arrive for Fri-Sun.
I have 2 weeks booked off work and will be there all arrivals week, RIAT departures on Monday and show here on Tuesday, and wednesday if my ticket works twice like last year!

Hi Farnboroughrob,
Apologies for sounding thick , but do you mean that the F'boro airshow website advertises trade day tickets other than the Friday event, and that another other option is to buy them on the day when you arrive? Have gone on the Friday's for the past couple of events as part of Friends of Farnborough, but would like to see what the other trade days, such as Wednesday have to offer this year.

text: Yellow Submarine is an animated meandering journey filled with puns and dry British humor, where psychedelic music videos take precedent over any linear story. What little there is of a plot, however, concerns a vibrantly colored place called Pepperland that resembles the album cover for Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band come to life. The swirling animation is a mixture of pop-culture images and modern artistic styles brought loosely together with a na?ve antiwar message and some clever political commentary. The Blue Meanies take over Pepperland, draining it of all its color and music, firing anti-music missiles, bonking people with green apples, and turning the inhabitants to stone by way of the pointed finger of a giant white glove. As the only survivor, the Lord Admiral escapes in the yellow submarine and goes to London to enlist the help of the Beatles (voiced by actors). The charming and innocent boys travel through strange worlds and meet bizarre characters, including the tagalong Nowhere Man. Several blissed-filled musical sequences and drug references later, the Beatles drive out the Blue Meanies and restore Pepperland to tranquility armed with only music, love, and witty remarks.

The largest city in the Lone Star State imbues its flourishing fine-arts institutions, adventurous restaurants, lush parks and friendly bars and cafés with the same independent Texas spirit that first put it on the map
Author Adam K. Raymond Photography Jill Hunter
TEN DAYS INTO THE 20th CENTURY, a drilling derrick just outside Houston struck oil at a depth of 1,000 feet, spewing Texas tea high into the air and almost instantly transforming the city, the state and ultimately the country. Over the next 100 years, Houston would grow into a global hub of business and energy while earning a reputation as a metropolis full of boisterous oilmen and their spectacularly coiffed wives. To this day, some see the city only as a home to men in 10-gallon hats and $10,000 suits (not that there's anything wrong with that), but those who've watched closely know it's morphed into something much, much more.
Today's Houston is culturally diverse, surprisingly green and one of the country's most vigorous supporters of the arts. As any local will tell you, the fourth largest U.S. city has enough innovative menus to rival the three that rank ahead of it. And still, vestiges of the early days remain. Houston is a seamless melding of spurs and sophistication — and after experiencing both, you'll realize you haven't truly messed with Texas until you've made your mark on Houston.

sealedsites had een nieuw webpagina ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit34 ontwerpen ingezonden door16 freelance designers.
I am looking for a PSD for a layout for a new video serving site. I am looking for a logo for the site along with a design that is based on a white clean background.
TBC Please Use 'Video Site' for Site Logo
Desired Color Scheme:
Clean looking colors similar flurl.com, vidilife.com, livevideo.com
Desired Style:
Again the site should be on a par with flurl.com, vidilife.com, livevideo.com, all of these sites have a simple design, white background etc and single video column showing the latest videos.
Accepted File Formats:
Looking at the sites I have mentioned I am after something similar, colors can be altered to suit but a white clean background is needed.
The site needs to be centered on the screen and suitable for 1024*768 design - and maybe even 80-*600 depending upon the layouts you come up with.
As far as what blocks we need on the template the following needs to be added.
First off a main navigation consisting of
These can be in a tab format at the top of the page or other options that you can think of are welcome.
The Layout of videos will be left aligned on the page and an image of the video along with the following text:
Title, Category, Comments, Description, Tags, Published (1 hr ago etc), Rated.
The layout I am after can be seen here (not the top part with the video actually playing - below that) http://www.livevideo.com/ so videos on left then right hand column for Highest Rated, Most Popular etc.
I am also looking for a media page that looks similar again to something like these layous, http://www.livevideo.com/video/DC6E…9031F/duck, http://www.flurl.com/item/David_Bla…s_u_205393,
Also looking for a blank content page for the contact us, advertise and other sections like these.
I am very flexible on ideas so feel free to submit your own too.
Overall the template needs to look clean, but have enough style to make it uniqe and stand out.
Good luck all

Venture capital investment in mainland China experienced a decline during the fourth quarter, with companies raising $854 million, a drop of 42% from the same period a year ago, according to Dow Jones VentureSource. The number of deals completed over the three month period also fell, by 52% to 39 in total.
Overall in 2012, investment declined by 40% from 2011 levels to $3.7 billion, with the number of deals falling by 44% to 202. China stayed ahead of the U.K. in terms of investment, where companies raised €1.4 billion, but not in deal flow, as the U.K. completed 295 deals. Europe as a whole collected €4.4 billion in 1074 deals. The U.S. raised $29.7 billion for 3,363 deals.
So far, 2011 has been the highest year on record for investment in mainland China, with US$6.2 billion deployed across 362 deals over that 12-month period.
"Although the decline of VC investments during 2012 follows similar trends to those recorded in 2008, the key difference was that last year the share of profitable companies to receive VC funding was much smaller than it was five years ago," says Guido Schenk, Asia Pacific sales director for Dow Jones VentureSource. "Given that companies need to be profitable prior to IPO in China, it is unlikely that 2012 VC investments will lead to the same boom of IPOs that we witnessed between 2009 and 2011."
In addition, IPOs as a main exit route for Chinese VC investments showed a sharp decline in the fourth quarter, where only three IPOs were recorded; a fifth of the number recorded in the same period a year earlier. From these, only $167 million was raised, the lowest number in China since 2009, and just 10% of the amount raised in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Continuing Investment Declines for Most Industry Groups
Investment in Consumer Services, the leading industry for venture capital in China, declined by 35% to $591 million during the fourth quarter of 2012. Deal flow declined by 59% to 17 deals completed.
Despite receiving 55% of all venture capital invested in China during 2012, overall Consumer Services investment and deal flow declined by 42% and 44% respectively from 2011, with $2 billion collected in 96 deals.
Information technology (IT) managed to secure the second largest allocation, despite a 46% decline in investment and a 39% drop in the number of completed deals year-over-year.
The industry collected $536 million for 43 deals. This decline was due largely to a weak fourth quarter in which investment amounted to $34 million for 6 deals, a respective 83% and 63% drop from the same quarter a year earlier.
Financial Services Rounds Out a Strong Year
Investment in business and financial services companies defied the downturn during the year with the industry collecting $458 million, a 2% uptick from 2011.
Deal activity fell, however, by 41% to 27 completed. The uptick in investment was a result of a strong year for the financial institutions and services sector, in which seven venture capital deals amassed $203 million.
Investment in the healthcare industry fell in 2012, with 11 deals collecting $179 million, a respective drop of 15% and 45% from 2011 figures.
Biopharmaceuticals, the dominant industry segment, experienced a drop of 68% in capital invested and 29% in deals completed, with companies raising $85 million in a total of five deals. In contrast, medical devices and equipment companies managed to garner $70 million for four venture capital deals, doubling the equivalent figures for 2011.
Energy and utility companies also experienced substantial drops in venture capital invested during 2012. The industry collected $58 million, a decrease of 48% from 2011. Deal flow halved from eight in 2011 to four completed for 2012.

- "Dedicated to you!"
- —Glamchops slogan[src]
Glamchops was a Muggle company that sold cosmetics. Among their range of products was Glamchops Lemongrass Hand Lotion and Glamchops Moisturiser, both of which Hermione Granger used.[1]
Glamchops also ran a website, www.glamchops.com, where one could buy new make-up collections that were not available elsewhere. An advertisement for the site appeared on the side of a double decker bus in London in 1993.
Behind the scenes
- Although there were websites in 1994 (Amazon.com[2] and Yahoo![3] were both founded that year), the Internet did not become widely popular until later in the decade.[4] This makes the appearance of an ad for a website in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which is set in 1993, somewhat anachronistic.

Navigating the globe—especially one that changes as often as ours—can be confusing and intimidating. How much gratuity should you leave in Italy? Will you need a guided tour to explore the Taj Mahal? How early do you have to get in line for ferry tickets to Culebra? Travel + Leisure has authoritative travel advice about these matters and more, along with the latest on airline news, travel deals and discounts, the best gear and gadgets, and totally trendy or entirely off-the-beaten-path travel ideas.
At Travel + Leisure, we're constantly expanding and updating our in-depth city, region, and country guides. But our expert insight doesn't end there. We're here to offer informed reviews of products, hotels, restaurants, and routes, and provide our take on the latest travel news (or anything that might affect your ability to relax, explore, or hit the road). That includes consumer industry news, breaking weather events, political shifts, and hyper-local cultural events.
T+L's annual "World's Best" survey asks readers to rank travel experiences across the globe—including cities and islands, hotels and cruise lines, even destination spas, airlines, tours operators, and safaris.

At T+L, we also carefully craft travel ideas and itineraries, from perfect three-day weekends to five must-do activities in destinations around the Earth. Everything you need to plan your perfect trip is right here.
But Travel + Leisure is not all planning. We reserve the right to ask such pressing questions: What sort of collection does a vampire museum have on display? What is it like to be a professional mermaid? What does the world's youngest billionaire do when she's on vacation? Why is this a favorite brand of luggage among celebrities and A-listers? What is it like to eat at a nude restaurant? How many pies could be made out of the world's largest pumpkin? You may not need to know these answers but—you've got to admit—that doesn't mean you don't want to.

Review: "Kill the Irishman" Comes in Guns Blazing
Director Jonathan Hensleigh assembled the Movie Tough Guy Junior Varsity All-Stars and to tell the story of Danny Greene, a first-generation Irish-American who spent much of the 1970s at war with the Cleveland mafia. Seeing as you've probably never heard of him, you can likely guess how that worked. Nonetheless, "Kill the Irishman" spins a great yarn about a man reaching for the American Dream with his fists and a gun.
Ray Stevenson, the heavy in recent films like "The Other Guys" and "The Book of Eli," stars as Greene, a man who started out as a union man on the docks of Cleveland, before "working" his way up to union boss and eventually becoming a renowned gangster. Stevenson attacks the role with a strapping build and tough-guy swagger, snarling, snorting and swinging away at every turn. With his ridiculous wisp of a comb over, the glorious porn-stache and faint remnants of a brogue, Stevenson paints a rich portrait of the kind of violent monster only a film fan could love.
The cast is loaded with talent: Christopher Walken as numbers runner Alex "Shondor" Birns; Paul Sorivino as Tony Salerno, the head of the Genovese crime family; Vinnie Jones as Greene's enforcer, ex-Hell's Angel Keith Ritson, Val Kilmer as Joe Manditski, a Cleveland cop who befriends Greene; and most magnificently, Vincent D'Onofrio as John Nardi, mobster and the lone Italian with whom Greene got along. D'Onofrio's performance is a frustrating reminder of what a great career he could have had. His accent, cadence, facial expressions, lumbering gait are all fantastic--the guy never cheats a scene.
There is a great deal of fisticuffs, shootouts, and car bombings, as befits a fill with the word "Kill" in the title, but Hensleigh keeps things from getting stale. The onslaught of violence is broken up by the grim humor in Jeremy Walters' screenplay. Hensleigh also owes a huge debt of gratitude to his art department who got the cars, hair, clothes and sets just right.
As with any biopic, the film is full of composites, falsehoods, half-truths and fabrications, but "Kill the Irishman" gets a bump in verite with the use through out of actual news coverage—featuring the likes of Brian Ross (now with ABC) and David Brinkley--Greene's accident, peaking in the summer of 1976, when three dozen explosions rocked the city of Cleveland as gangsters battled it out.
"Kill the Irishman" doesn't re-invent the mob genre, but a great cast and story make for a good time that packs plenty of punch and some dark laughs.

When you read this, I will be away at a library conference. I had to pack rather than write a column, so here's an old one.
By COLLEEN LEDDY
My co-worker Sheri gave lovely little log-shaped fruitcakes as part of her Christmas gifts to us. She attached cute labels explaining that the contents of the package was some of her grandmother's No-Bake Fruitcake.
In a dyslexic moment, I read the label as No-Fruit Bakecake, which made me laugh and immediately put me in mind of my Aunt Betty, one of my mother's six sisters. A jolly woman, Aunt Betty always has a ready laugh and is easily entertained. I think I inherited from her the gene that makes me laugh uncontrollably at things not everybody else finds funny.
Once, when I was in junior high school, Aunt Betty was visiting and she really got me laughing over something I no longer remember.
But I'll never forget the fuel she added to the fire when she said, "Oh, Colleen! You're as nutty as a fruitcake!"
That set me off in new gales of laughter when, as a fruitcake novice, I assumed that fruitcakes didn't have nuts. The idea of being compared to something that didn't actually have nuts seemed profoundly hilarious to me. Aunt Betty had hit my funnybone and it was a long time before I stopped laughing.
In this era when so many people I know seem to be dying or suffering from illness, I've been thinking of laughter a lot. In depressing times I need shots of mirth to keep me going. I'm beginning to wish I had kept a laugh journal throughout my life—a document I could consult to remember all the past funny times during these more trying times.
Instead, I am left to rely on my own memory—which is kind of a laugh in itself because it isn't very intact.
I can remember moments of great hilarity, times when I couldn't stop laughing, but I am abysmal at remembering what led to them and even more abysmal at remembering jokes. There are a few that remain etched in my head, so much so that I even repeat the punch line in casual conversation, unrelated to the joke itself.
"No soap, radio," is one.
I was beginning to think my siblings and I were the only ones who knew the joke, but wikipedia says it's been around since before I was born and is widely known—even part of popular culture, with references to it on The Simpsons and The Sopranos. But I can't remember anybody ever getting the reference when I've said it. Here's the joke:
Two elephants are in the bathtub and one elephant says, "Pass the soap." And the other elephant says, "No soap, radio."
Everybody but one person is in on the joke and they laugh uproariously when the punchline is told.
Wikipedia says this is an example of anti-humor. The joke has no meaning—it's just a prank on the person who isn't in on it. Deconstructed on wikipedia like that, it makes me think I must have been an awful kid. Still, I can say that line to my brothers and vice versa and we automatically start laughing.
More Bronx humor...which must have followed the 1969 release of the movie, "Krakatoa: East of Java."
"What's east of Java?" you ask an unsuspecting person.
"Krakatoa!" they say.
"OK," you say, and you stomp on the person's foot...trying to crack a toe.
Woo, that's even worse than "No soap, radio."
I think I must have gotten nicer by high school when I recall laughing all the time, but not at anybody else's expense.
Sometimes just thinking about laughing can make me laugh...like the time I was on the Q-44 bus which I rode every day from my home in the Bronx to my high school in Flushing, Queens.
I can never remember what was so funny; I just remember going home from school one evening and thinking about something so funny that I started laughing right there on the bus with other passengers looking like me as if I were nuts (nutty as a fruitcake?). More likely they thought I was on drugs.
I tried to stifle the laughter, but the more I tried, the more it bubbled forth until I was crying with suppressed laughter. It was probably something my friends Sondra or Adrienne had said or done that day...they are two of the funniest people I know. I don't remember what it was, but it made the 45-minute ride home one of the longest ever.
No joke, radio.

Brazil 2012 Fieldwork Diary Entry 11: Farewell to Nova Iorque
A resident of the Nova Iorque area: a mantis that Christian Kammerer found while prospecting for fossils. Photo by Ken Angielczyk.
Today was our last day of fieldwork in the Nova Iorque area. Tomorrow we will head back to Teresina to spend a few days working on rock exposures near the city. Last year we found a couple of interesting fossils there in just a couple of hours of prospecting, so we think it's important to make sure we revisit those localities. However, the exposures there are not as extensive as those near Nova Iorque, hence the reason we spent so much time here this year.
Because we're leaving this area, it's natural to reflect on what we accomplished. We didn't find the synapsids we were hoping to discover. This might stem from the environments represented by the rocks being inhospitable to synapsids. Alternatively, it might mean that synapsids had not yet dispersed away from the equatorial regions at the time the Pedra de Fogo Formation was being formed. Or we may just have been unlucky. However, when I think back to our time here in comparison to our trip in 2011, it's clear that we definitely made progress.
One of our most important accomplishments has been to gain a better understanding of the rocks in this area, and the number of fossil-bearing levels present within them. We didn't have a good concept of this last year, but thanks to Roger's work this year we've concluded that there are about 12 levels in the Pedra de Fogo Formation that preserve fossils, most of which are located in the bottom half of the formation. With this new understanding, we've been much more successful at targeting outcrops that are likely to produce fossils while avoiding those that are likely to be barren. In turn, we've collected a lot more material, representing a greater diversity of animals, than we did last year. In particular, we've found a lot more amphibian material this year. We think there might be as many as four species of amphibian present, instead of just Prionosuchus plummeri as was known previously. We also found likely new species of sharks and lungfish, so we're definitely getting a better picture of the animals that were living here during the Permian.
Jaw of a temnospondyl amphibian that likely represents a new species from the Pedra de Fogo Formation. Note that there are three kinds of teeth present in the jaw, the large teeth along its margin (toward the top of the picture), the small denticles near the left side of the picture, and the large tooth just to the left of the small denticles. Photo by Ken Angielczyk.
As we study these fossils more, and compare them to specimens known from elsewhere in the world, we should be able to get a better picture of the relative age of the Pedra de Fogo Formation and the formation's implications for the distributions of animals on the supercontinent of Pangaea. At the moment, the environment represented by the rocks, the diversity of amphibians, and the lack of synapsids make the Pedra de Fogo community seem similar to the community of animals known from the Permian of Niger, which was located at about the same latitude but somewhat to the east at the time. The Niger community is relatively unique among those known from the Permian, so if the Pedra de Fogo animals are similar, then it might imply that central Pangaea hosted an assemblage of animals unlike those known from near the equator or at higher latitudes. At the same time, the comparison isn't perfect because there are reptiles known from the Permian of Niger, and we have not found any reptiles in the Pedra de Fogo Formation (despite seeing some of their living relatives).

As is often the case in science, although our research is answering some questions, it's also raising others, and I don't think we've exhausted the potential of the Pedra de Fogo Formation. For example, there's areas to the west of Nova Iorque that we visited last year but ignored this year. When we were there in 2011, we were uncertain exactly how the rock sequence fit with the sequence near Nova Iorque, and I would be quite interested to see how Roger's framework holds up there. We will be able to see how it fares near Teresina in the next few days. Hopefully I will have interesting new fossils to tell you about when we start work there.

SAHA's Dan Martinez looks at the vacant property at Cesar Chávez Boulevard and Labor Street that's being considered for a La Fiesta store.
Count La Fiesta among the grocery companies interested in a downtown store.
Ronnie Catlett, La Fiesta's general manager and vice president, confirmed Monday his company is interested in leasing space in a future development by the San Antonio Housing Authority at Cesar Chávez Boulevard and Labor Street, across from SAHA's Victoria Commons housing complex.
New mixed-use construction is planned for vacant land there, intended to complement SAHA's new development to the east and the rest of the Lavaca neighborhood to the south.
"We're definitely interested in being down there," Catlett said. "Obviously, the numbers have to work for everybody. We all feel there's a need for a downtown grocery store, but this industry is a penny industry. It's very difficult to make any money, and somewhat difficult to break even. Downtown — with real estate prices and building a store — it's definitely hard to make the numbers work."
Lavaca's complex demographics complicate things from a retailer's perspective, he said.
"The average medium incomes down there — there are some way above average and some way below," Catlett said.
He said he has talked with SAHA several times about the possibility of a store at Chávez and Labor. SAHA is still in the process of crafting its master plan for the area, which will dictate what kind of retail will be introduced there.
The city is offering a $1 million cash incentive for a company to build a downtown grocery store. Mayor Julián Castro has confirmed that a request for information (a kind of bidding process for the $1 million) will be issued soon.
Catlett said La Fiesta likely will pursue the $1 million city incentive.
"I think (the city) already knows we're interested," he said. "But, yes, we'd be interested in putting our name in the hat."
Catlett said La Fiesta has several models to work from, but a 20,000 square foot store makes the most sense on the edge of Lavaca. A city-commissioned study, which is scheduled to be released in February, concludes that downtown can support a store of that size.
"We have a 13,000- and a 43,000-square-foot store," he said. "It would be based on what might be the need of the community there."
La Fiesta is a subsidiary of Foodarama of Houston.

For some time I was wondering about something,
knowing that many ancient traditions/schools see the spoken word (oral transmission) as superior to the written one. I was wondering if this is the case in the Hindu tradition as well, and though I'm pretty sure it is, I'd be grateful if someone could provide a Vedic or Upanishadic fragment that speaks about the issue.
Is there such a thing?

Sailing Into Hell, a Story from 2004
Black Squall
As darkness came upon us we found ourselves sailing into the hell of a huge black squall. We knew it would be night when this monster hit us and in the darkness we would be blind, unable to see or prepare, or even just know when to say a prayer.
The anticipation was worse than the squall, but the squall was bad enough; hours of howling wind and rain and Wings driving through the night under reduced sail. We two lonely sailors waited for the worst to happen, not even knowing what the worst was, but thankfully it never did.
It was just another night at sea.

Breast cancer is still the most common type of cancer among women accounting for one in every four cancer diagnoses in women in the United States. According to the 2013 Will County Community Health Status Assessment Report, in 2009, 20 out of every 100,000 women in Will County died of breast cancer, which is just slightly lower than the state and national average. However, it has been proven that even more lives can be saved if the tumor is discovered at an early stage, and mammography screening is the most effective way for detecting these malignancies.
Rewards for Mammograms
To encourage women to get regular mammograms and other important health screenings, Silver Cross launched a unique program in 2008 called I Matter. Women who sign up for the free program and come to the Silver Cross Center for Women's Health for their annual mammography screening receive a special membership card which can be used for valuable discounts at over 120 businesses throughout the community-from salons to restaurants to Orland Square Mall retailers.
"The program has been wildly successful with over 4,200 participating members and new partners joining all the time," says Marci Vasiliades, Manager of the Silver Cross Center for Women's Health. "In the past month alone, we signed on 50 new businesses. A complete list is available at www.Imatter.silvercross.org."
Importance and Convenience of Screening
"Mammography is the single most effective method for early detection of breast cancer, which is vital in order to enhance treatment options and improve the chances of both successful treatment and survival," said Dr. Latha Arla, internal medicine physician with Sanitas Medical Group at Silver Cross Hospital.
The Community Health Status Assessment Reports also states that between 2007-2009 79.3% of women over the age of 40 in Illinois had a mammogram within the last year. In Will County, the number was much less at 68.1%. This is an increase from 2004 to 2006 in which only 57.9% of this population reported the same, however it is still below the national Healthy People 2020 Target of 76.8%.
"We want to not only reward women for taking care of themselves, but also make it easy, convenient and comfortable to get their mammogram, says Vasiliades. "The Center for Women's Health is located on the new Silver Cross campus right off of I-355 and Route 6 in New Lenox. Set in a soothing, spa-like environment, we offer variety of healthcare services designed around a woman's needs and lifestyle including breast ultrasound and biopsy for those who may need further testing. You also have the opportunity to consult with a board certified radiologist or meet with a Certified Breast Health Nurse to assist with the next steps in your care."
To learn more or to become an I Matter member, visit http://www.imatter.silvercross.org/. To schedule an appointment for a mammogram at the Silver Cross Center for Women's Health, call (815) 300-7076. A doctor's order is required.

The new Rainbow Warrior during sea trials.
If you're one of the 100,000 donors who bought a bolt, an action boat, an anchor, a chart, a soap dish, a piece of her sail or the whole of her wheelhouse, thank you and obrigado. If you're one of our 3 million regular annual donors, merci bien and Xie Xie! If you're one of our 17 million email or mobile subscribers, Facebook fans or Twitter followers, gracias and shukran. If you're one of our 14,000 volunteers, danke schön and kinanâskomitinawaw.
We said the Earth needed a new warrior, and each of you answered that call: today we smash a bottle of champagne across the bow, and launch the world's first ship built from the keel up to win the battle for the future of the Earth.
Two A-frame masts exclaim that this is no ordinary sailing ship: it is a sleek, efficient eco-vessel, every detail crafted with sustainability in mind, from the silicon-based paint on her hull to the FSC wood of her cabins, to the onboard recycling systems and biological sewage treatment. The new Rainbow Warrior will primarily be powered and propelled by the sun and wind , with the option in unsuitable weather to switch to efficient diesel-electric power. The revolutionary mast design allows her to carry more sail, and makes room for the radio masts, antennas, and domes that provide internet and satellite communications -- allowing us to broadcast video from remote locations and tweet from any ocean. She boasts a video editing suite, a conference room, a campaign office, two fast action boats, webcams fore and aft and a helicopter hanger and helideck. She can accommodate up to 30 people.
Melina Laboucan-Massimo is from the Cree First Nation from Northern Alberta, Canada. She is the Godmother of the ship.
The Rainbow Warrior prophecy (that the ship is named after) comes from Indigenous nations in North American, like the Cree.
The first ship to bear her name was a rusting fishing trawler scraped and sanded down by hand and painted with a dove and rainbow. She made history saving whales, stopping radioactive waste dumping, and sailing straight into the forbidden zone around nuclear weapons tests from the Pacific to the Arctic.
Her voyage into history was cut short by two limpet mines in 1985, when frightened politicians in Paris ordered French agents to sink the ship in New Zealand, believing this would stop our protests against nuclear weapons tests. One crewmember was murdered in the attack – photographer Fernando Pereira. It was a massive miscalculation, catalyzing opposition throughout the Pacific, strengthening Greenpeace, and hardening our resolve to rebuild and return. A supporter in Auckland coined the phrase that became a motto of opposition: "You Can't Sink a Rainbow." When we returned to Moruroa in a refurbished sister ship, the legacy of the Rainbow Warrior as a parable of persistence was sealed. Today the Rainbow Warrior II is doing relief work in India as a hospital ship.
As a purpose-built campaigning ship, the new Warrior will be a voice for our oceans, our forests, our climate, and our future. Built to last for at least 50 years, she is a promise to you, our supporters, to never give in, never give up.
Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace International Executive Director, said at the ceremony: "The new Rainbow Warrior is the perfect ship with which navigate the perfect storm of ecological, economic and democratic crises lashing our world."
"Carrying an international crew, the Rainbow Warrior will confront environmental criminals across the world, she will investigate and expose destructive activities, but perhaps most of all will provide a beacon of hope and an inspiration to action wherever she goes.
"If you've not yet been a part of the journey of building the Rainbow Warrior, please come onboard and be part of her voyage. The world needs another warrior: you."

The buzz around cloud computing and virtualization is exciting. Virtualization is not a new concept as this is a progression from distributed computing. What creates the excitement is that virtualization has gained momentum with a few key players making it easy to manage virtual servers via a console or hypervisor.
Why virtualize secure file transfers? The file management realm grew-up with the notion that nothing is secure unless it can be physically segregated in a locked room. This is not reality anymore. "Bare Metal" or "Domain 0" virtual servers are just as secure as physical boxes, but they need to be hardened at the operating system level in the same way as a physical server.
"Virtualization doesn't fit the traditional mold of dedicated servers to handle a corporation's encryption of sensitive data, secure data transfers, or data translation functions," says Bob Luebbe, GoAnywhere Chief Architect. "There were many variables to consider, but we were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to implement a full VMware environment. The virtual servers were easy to manage and move among hosts."
GoAnywhere's managed file transfer solution is tested and certified for virtualized and cloud environments. As of today, it is the only VMware Ready software-based secure managed file transfer solution available. GoAnywhere Gateway is the VMware Ready reverse proxy gateway for the DMZ that integrates with GoAnywhere Services.

What if you took a whole bunch of scriptural phrases from the New Testament and put them into a box and reached in and you randomly pulled out the following phrases;
Day of Christ
The Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
Glorious appearing of the great God
Six Seal
Sign of blood moon
We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
Translated into the kingdom of His dear Son
Saints taken
Wicked men left
Be saved, O safe
What would you think? Would randomly selecting those phrases be coincidence, or a message from God?
It is obvious that those phrases communicate a message—That the day of Christ is when the Lord Jesus comes to the clouds and appears for all the world to see, which happens at the sixth seal after the sign of the moon being turned to the color of blood, at which time the saints which are alive and remain at His coming will be caught up into the clouds—raptured—and translated into the kingdom of His dear Son and delivered from the wrath to come. The wicked men—those without Christ—will be left. So be saved so you can be safe!
Interesting message! But the question still remains; would the selection of the phrases and words that formed the message just be a random coincidence, or could it be considered as a message from God? If it is just coincidental then it would mean nothing, if from God then it is a message we need to pay heed to, lest we are caught unawares.
Now, I did not put a bunch of Bible phrases in a box and pull them out randomly, but I did find those words and phrases in a KJV Bible code matrix.
|The KJV Rapture Code
click to enlarge
As you can see the main term of the matrix is "Six Seal." Crossing "Six Seal" at the bottom are the almost parallel encoded words "sign" and "moon," in between those words is the surface text "of blood." These spatially related words combine to form the phrase; "sign of blood moon." BTW, in case you were not aware the moon is turned to blood at the sixth seal event, see Rev 6:12.
There are other spatially related words in the matrix; like the encoded words "Saints" and "taken" that cross each other and form the phrase "Saints taken." They also cross the surface text of "translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son" and "we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds." Also directly below the "caught up together" surface text is the surface text "coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" and "the Day of Christ" which also crosses and is part of "Six Seal." Also appearing near this area is the encoded word "left" and the surface text "wicked men" forming the phrase "wicked men left." This is also in the same general area of "Saints taken."
There are a few other things of note; crossing "Six Seal" is the surface text "delivered" and "glorious appearing of our Great God." Also crossing "Six Seal" is the encoded enigmatic phrase "be saved O' safe." This phrase conveys the meaning that if you are saved—a Christian—that you will be safe from the wrath to come via being caught up in the rapture event at the sixth seal.
Very interesting Bible code to say the least! This Bible code also puts forth a message that may not be well received by most people. Some at this juncture may, because of preconceived ideas, reject this code as random and meaningless, but if it is by design, then to reject it would be to reject a message from God. So how do we determine if this code is random or by design?
I will be the first to admit that just because someone finds something encoded in scripture does not mean that it is from God. For random codes can be found in any passage of significant length. So; just because someone finds something encoded in scripture does not mean that it was by design—it may be coincidental and mean nothing. To determine the validity of a Bible code one must examine the odds that it may have occurred by chance. The higher the odds, the greater likelihood that it was by design. Here are r values for the matrix.
If you take into consideration other aspects of this matrix the odds of the matrix would increase. For example the entire matrix only includes 3431 letters, which is approximately ½% of the 739,167 letters in the KJV New Testament. Thus the matrix is a relatively small section of scripture. And in this relatively small matrix the term "Six Seal," which is only encoded 4 times in the KJV New Testament, appears with 6 sentences or long phrases of definitely related surface text, such as "Hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son." "We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds," "The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ," "Day of Christ" "Glorious appearing of the great God." "The Lord delivered me." So I believe these occurrences add to the odds.
Not only is the related surface text statistically significant but the words "saints" and "taken" are only encoded once in this matrix and they cross each other and the surface text of "We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds."
Further to the right, next to and touching "Saints" and crossing "taken," is the encoded word "left," which also occurs right below the surface text "wicked men." The phrase "wicked men" only occurs 2 times in the KJV NT and appears in this small matrix very close to "left." All 4 of these terms occurring in close proximity to each other are also statistically significant and add to the odds.
The other significant cluster of terms is "of blood" which occurs 16 times in the KJV NT and appears in this matrix. The phrase "of blood" also crosses the encoded term "moon," which is almost parallel to the term "sign." All 3 occur in a 7 x 28 box, which again add to the odds.
All of these statistically significant events increase the odds of this matrix from occurring by chance. If each one of the 4 statistically significant events listed above added a factor of 1 to the r value then the odds of this matrix would be at about 1 trillion to one.
Are the odds high enough for us to say that this matrix was by design and not chance? Some say that only the Hebrew Bible can be encoded, and not a translation. Could God's Spirit move upon groups of men through time so that the 5th revision of a translation could be encoded, even though translations are not inspired? I will leave those questions to be answered by the statistical experts. But if the answers to those questions are yes, then this matrix would offer confirmation to the fact that the rapture will occur at the sixth seal, and if you have not already, you need to take heed, lest you are caught unawares.
Remember our only source for doctrine is God's Holy Word; we are never to use experiences and or other spiritual phenomena such as the Bible codes to formulate doctrine. God's Holy word is clear that the rapture will occur at the sixth seal, and this Bible code whether by design or chance says the same thing.
