Seven trumpets
Seven trumpets are sounded, one at a time, to cue apocalyptic events that were seen in the vision of the Revelation of Christ Jesus,[1] by John of Patmos,[2] as written in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. The seven trumpets are sounded by seven angels and the events that follow are described in detail from Revelation Chapters 8 to 11. According to Revelation 8:1-2,[3] the angels sound these trumpets after the breaking of the seventh seal. These seals secured the apocalyptic document, that was in the right hand of Him who sits on the main throne.[4]
Before the invention of the brass trumpet, God had Moses make two silver Trumpets (Numbers 10:2), but the traditional sacred horn of the ancient Hebrews was the shofar made from a ram's horn. It has been used since Moses' day (Exodus 19:13)[5] to get the attention of the Israelites, signal, or to prelude an announcement and/or warning from God. Joshua had 7 priests carry 7 horns for 7 days and circle Jericho 7 times, then the priest sounded the horns, the people shouted and the walls came down. (Joshua 6:4).[5] In St. Paul's letter of I Thessalonians 4:16, "the trumpet of God" heralds the Second Coming of Christ.
First trumpet[edit]
Upon the first trumpet sound, hail and fire, mixed with blood, is thrown to the Earth burning up a third of the trees on the planet, and all green grass. [6]
Second trumpet[edit]
By the second trumpet sounding, it cues something like a great burning mountain that plunges into the sea and wipes out a third of all sea life and ships. A third of the oceans will become blood.[7]
Third trumpet[edit]
By the sound of the third trumpet, a great star called Wormwood falls to the Earth poisoning a third of the planet's freshwater sources, such as rivers and springs. Men will die from drinking its bitter taste.[8]
Fourth trumpet[edit]
Following the sounding of the fourth trumpet, a third of the light that shines from the Sun, moon and stars became dark from these celestial bodies being "struck". This catastrophe caused complete darkness for a third of a day, during the day, even through night hours.[9]
Fifth trumpet[edit]
The fifth trumpet sound is the "first Woe" of three. Before this trumpet sounds, an angel (translated eagle in some versions) appears, flying in mid-heaven, and warns, "Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"[10]
The fifth trumpet prompts a personified star to fall from heaven. The star is given the key to the bottomless pit. After opening it, the smoke that rises out, darkens the air and blocks the sunlight. Then from out of the smoke, the Locusts were unleashed. They were scorpion tailed warhorses, having a man's face with lion's teeth. Their hair was long like that of a woman's and flew with locust-like wings. They were crowned with golden crowns and protected with iron-like breastplates. They were commanded by their king, Abaddon, to torment any man who does not have the seal of God on their forehead, by using their scorpion-like tails. It was also made clear to them that they must not kill anyone during their five-month mission of torment.[11]
Preterist views
Robert Witham, a Catholic commentator, issued his two-volume Annotations on the New Testament, in 1733. Commenting on Chapter 9, he offers two preterist views for identifying the locusts with scorpion tails.[12]
- The locusts may have represented the incursion of the Goths and "those barbarous People" that interrupted the Roman Empire during the time of Decius.[13]
- The locusts may have represented the Jewish heretics who denied Christ. Most notably, Theodotus, Praxeas, Noetus, Paul of Samosata, Sabellius, and Arius.[13]
Sixth trumpet[edit]
Five months after the fifth trumpet blast, the sixth one sounds.[14] This is the "Second woe", where four angels are released from their binds to the "great river Euphrates". They command a brute force of 200 million mounted troops whose horses dissipate plague from out of their mouths, most notably: fire, smoke, and brimstone. The mounted horsemen wore breastplates with the color of fire, hyacinth, and brimstone. The horses had a lion's head and their tails were like a serpent, even with a snake head. They are responsible for the deaths of a third of mankind who are stricken by the plague that emanated from these armies.[15]
Seventh trumpet[edit]
The sound of the seventh trumpet signals the "Third woe". This is the final trumpet sound and the final woe. Loud voices in heaven proclaim Christ as ruler forever and ever under the "Kingdom of our Lord". Thanks is given to God, the Almighty and praise for the wrath that came, the dead who were judged, and the bond-servants rewarded. The temple of God in heaven then opened and the Ark of the covenant appeared in His temple. Then lightning and peals of thunder occurred followed by an earthquake and a great hailstorm.[16]
|Christian eschatology

|Christianity portal
In Christian Eschatology, the first six trumpets are used to serve as a wake up call to the sinners on Earth and a call to repentance. Each trumpet blast brings with it a plague of a more disastrous nature than the one before it. The trumpet is used to build anticipation and tells the reader that an alert, announcement, or warning is about to take place. The seventh trumpet does not bring a plague with it. Rather, it is sounded so that glory is given to God and His kingdom is announced.[17]
The Preterist understanding is that these blasts are like war trumpets against apostate Israel of the time period and that they correspond to events in the Jewish Wars. For example, the second trumpet is the nation of Rome depicted as a mountain, symbolic for great nations in the Old Testament, and its destruction of Galilee and the Sea of Galilee becoming full of blood and dead bodies.[citation needed]
Concerning the second trumpet blast, Futurist Christian apologists speculate that the "great mountain burning with fire" that plunges into the sea, in Revelation 8:8,[18] is an impact event by a possible Near-Earth object.[19][20]
Christians who follow the Posttribulation rapture doctrine, argue that the seventh trumpet is the last trumpet mentioned in I Corinthians 15:52,[21] and that there is a strong correlation between the events mentioned in Isaiah 27:13,[22] Matthew 24:29-31,[23] and I Thessalonians 4:16.[24] These parallels are used to support the doctrine of the rapture occurring after the tribulation. Therefore, Posttribulationists see the rapture happening during the seventh trumpet. The nature of the 7th trumpet shows that "time is no more, and that the mystery of God is finished, Rev. 10:6,7. At the 7th trumpet, Jesus rules and reigns forevermore,[25] He has taken His great power and reigned,[26] and He rewards the righteous, and judges the wicked.[27] Both Jesus and Paul declare that when Jesus comes, His reward is with Him, and He rewards everyone according to their works, Rev. 22:12,2 Tim 4:1.
There are some scholars which describe a part from the finale from the second symphony by Gustav Mahler, as the seven trumpets, actually played by 4 trumpets, bass drum, cymbals and triangle, which are offstage.[citation needed]

Catering Quotes Murrumbeena Vic
8 Expert Tips For Picking the Right Caterer In Murrumbeena
When it comes to the important things that can make or break an event, couple of are as essential as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your choice of which catering service to employ, and if you believe this decision truly isn't really that important, look at it by doing this, fantastic catering can rescue an occasion that's on the rocks, but bad catering will generally send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is often the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for a lot of events, the caterer you pick is also a considerable financial choice and can affect how much money you have left over to invest in other areas depending on food costs and quantities.
Add in the fact that caterers can differ dramatically in their rates and the kinds of meals and services they use, and the process of picking a caterer can figuratively and literally feel like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, primarily since how responsive and interested a catering service is during your preliminary discussions is a sign of how they will perform throughout the length of their agreement with you (and more on agreements later).
A potential catering service must be learning as much as they can about you in your first couple of discussions with them, so you should expect them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you providing responses and detailing your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Manage Your Particular Type of Occasion In Murrumbeena 3163
Not every catering service is best or every kind of event, and many caterers themselves honestly admit this.
So when interviewing your Murrumbeena catering services (and you should speak to at least 3 caterers for any occasion with a sensible spending plan), you have to specify about the kind of event you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you may wind up picking a caterer who simply isn't really an excellent fit for the type or style of your occasion.
Practically every catering service has a basic menu or menus to pick from, and many do supply some level of built-in versatility to adjust these menus to your particular needs by replacing specific items and/or tailoring others.
Nevertheless, the standout catering services will go beyond standardized menu options and want to create fantastic fare that matches a lot more specific theme and dietary requirements.
# 3 Willingness To Offer Tastings
How will you ever know what a catering service can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you understand what the menu items you are considering will taste like unless you specifically attempt them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the particular items they desire for their event since it looks like a trouble for the catering service, however it is standard to request for a tasting of exactly what you are meaning to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a fee, it's a small price to pay to ensure you select the best catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also take care of how it exists, as any caterer who puts in the time to appropriately display a sample will most likely be more likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event supervisor who has to manage catering information, budgets and tasks?
Or are you a caterer who needs to track propositions, invoices, meal selections, inventory and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You might be in for a surprise if you employ a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater an official ballroom charity event. Or if you select a high-end corporate occasion catering service to serve a barn wedding. Why? Since these catering services may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get back at more particular depending on limitations of the location itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Even more standard locations can likewise have constraints that catering services must follow, like specific setup standards or disposal constraints for waste food and water, so having a caterer that recognizes with a venue's guidelines can potentially save you great deals of hassle on occasion day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's contract ought to plainly define exactly what food, beverages and services the catering service will be offering on the designated day( s). Additionally, it needs to safeguard you from non-performance as much as it safeguards the catering service from non-payment/default, so you may want to consider having a lawyer} look at it before you sign it.
Every detail needs to be consisted of in the agreement, consisted of chosen menus, number of servings and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service information (if suitable) and all prices and additional services.
No catering service in Murrumbeena with a shred of self-respect and scruples enters into an agreement with strategies to bail at the last minute, however you have to ensure there is a cancellation provision in your agreement simply in case your catering service needs to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your occasion, so just make certain cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Talk With
Obviously you will have to look into the catering services you are thinking about, and it's always excellent to begin online and check out sites.
However, don't stop there, as online reviews are not constantly trusted (or even genuine); for instance, an excellent caterer might have had a few nightmare/hater clients who skew their rankings, while a genuinely mediocre caterer may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some past clients of the catering services you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we talked to called insurance protection "an offered" for catering services, and you definitely do not want to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 An Experienced Chef and Kitchen Personnel
Surprisingly, for how long a catering business in Murrumbeena has been in business may not be as vital in selecting an excellent catering service as you might think.
So make sure to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV due to the fact that he or she will probably be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) implemented an innovative district health information management system (DHIMS) that has led to significant improvements in data collection, reporting, and analysis and has strengthened the country's health systems. The system has enhanced access to timely health information for managers within the GHS, empowering them to assess the performance of the health system and respond to identified challenges in a timely fashion. In September 2013, the African Development Bank recognized Ghana's achievement with an e-health award for improving access to health information.
For years, Ghana relied on a paperbased vertical system to capture and report data on health service delivery and surveillance. Then, in 2012, PMI provided support to develop a more robust web-based system. The DHIMS 2 system enables health facilities to enter their summary reports directly into an electronic database. It also has the capacity to autogenerate reports, map data through a geographic information systems (GIS) interface, and aid managers and users to process raw facility-level data into graphs that can be easily interpreted. For the NMCP, the new system allows rapid access to malaria data at all levels of the health system and has facilitated the use of those data to plan and implement malaria interventions.
With the full implementation of the DHIMS 2 platform, gathering and interpreting data within the GHS has vastly improved, and managers and partners are beginning to see the full benefits of a robust data reporting system.

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordanian warplanes bombed Islamic State targets on Thursday, the Jordanian military said, after King Abdullah II promised a "harsh" response to the militant group's brutal killing of a captured Jordanian pilot.
Jordan has been taking part for months in American-led airstrikes against the group, which has seized large parts of Iraq and Syria. But until now, Jordan had kept its participation relatively quiet, for fear of trouble with Islamist extremists at home.
That changed on Thursday, when the king appeared in state media reports wearing military fatigues, and was filmed paying condolences to the father of the slain pilot as warplanes flew overhead. The jets were said to be saluting the pilot's family on the way back from the mission against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
Jordan appeared to be redoubling its participation in the anti-Islamic State coalition, despite the militant group's threats to shoot down more pilots and its offer of a bounty for any who are captured or killed.
In a video that the Islamic State made public on Tuesday, the pilot, First Lt. Moaz al-Kasasbeh, was seen in a cage being burned alive. For Jordanians, the extreme brutality of the killing appears to have transformed their country's role in the coalition from a potential political liability to a point of pride.
The military's unusual public announcement of the airstrikes started with the words, "This is the beginning — you will know who the Jordanians are!"
"We will be faithful to our hero the martyr Moaz," the statement continued. "We will continue our fight, sacrificing everything to defend the true values of Islam." It went on to say the airstrikes were meant "to punish those who did this heinous act."
At the same time, the state-owned newspaper Al Rai published an article that was strikingly critical of the coalition led by the United States, a major patron of Jordan, and that said airstrikes alone were ineffective against the Islamic State.
The article, written by Mohammad Karroub, a longtime commentator, implied that Gulf Arab states, usually seen as allies of Jordan, were supporting the Islamic State. Even so, he argued, the militant group "has rebelled against its creator, turning into a sort of Frankenstein."
Mr. Karroub went on to question whether the United States might be allowing the Islamic State to retain control of Mosul, a major Iraqi city, in order to gain an advantage in nuclear negotiations with Iran, an ally of Iraq's Shiite-led central government.
The article said the international coalition needed to rethink its regional strategy and focus on ending outside support for the Islamic State. "I suppose that Jordan, before any other state, must exert pressure in this direction," Mr. Karroub wrote. "For the war on terrorism cannot be broken down into component parts; it is not a seasonal war that will succeed if carried out piecemeal."
The Jordanian military did not make clear where the airstrikes on Thursday were carried out. The country's foreign minister said in a television interview that the targets were in Syria.
The dead pilot's father said the jets that flew over his house were returning from Raqqa, a city in northern Syria that the Islamic State uses as a base. Some Raqqa residents wrote on social media that airstrikes had hit buildings outside the city, but others said there were no coalition airstrikes in the area on Thursday.
A video posted online by the Jordanian armed forces showed pilots who took part in the airstrikes writing messages in chalk on bombs. One wrote, "Islam has nothing to do with ISIS." Another quoted the Quran as saying that the militants would burn in hell.

When it comes to mobile app development, it makes sense that creative developers will want to be compensated for their work, especially for apps sold in the high-volume Apple App Store. Yet, there is always the option to offer your app entirely for free—a very popular option that still allows you to monetize your app in other ways. Here are some of the pros and cons of giving your Apple app away for free as well as how much money you can actually expect to make with your free version.
The Pros
Some of the gains that you can make by offering a free app include:
- Credibility. The Apple brand has become synonymous with high-quality, reliable, leading-edge technology. It is a lifestyle brand that goes hand-in-hand with innovation and the future of technology. By offering your app in the Apple App store, customers will automatically associate your service offering with these same characteristics.
- Quick buy in. With a free app, there is little resistance from end users who are more than willing to try your app. Once users are hooked on your app, you have the option to offer in-app purchases where users who really enjoy your free version can pay for upgraded features or a full subscription.
- Higher Visibility. The Apple App Store is an incredible marketplace for end users and will provide an increased number of views for your app. As of the most recent data, there have been over 140 billion apps downloaded from the Apple Store. What's more is that this amounts to over $20 billion in revenue for app developers!
The Cons
Still, there are some downsides to offering an app for free in the Apple Store:
- Difficult Conversion. It may not be as straightforward of a process to convert a free user to a paid user. Keep in mind that these are two different target audiences with very different values, needs and objectives. Some developers may find it challenging to turn a customer who is committed to free apps to one who is willing to pay for that app.
- You'll Need a Marketing Plan. When it comes to free apps you'll definitely need to have a clearly defined marketing plan in place to successfully organize yourself around monetizing your app.
Exactly How Much Can You Make?
When it comes to how much you can make from your free app it all depends. This is because there are so many ways to develop revenue from free apps without users having to pay for the actual download. Consider some of the top games offered for free in the Apple Store, with many of them grossing in the millions category. While these apps are very robust and have accurately targeted their core audiences and addressing their audience's precise pain points, newer app developers can still have great success with their free apps as well, making thousands of dollars. The key is to have a solid monetization strategy in place. Whether you will offer in-app purchases relying on several ad networks, subscription upgrades or mobile partnerships, there are so many ways for savvy developers to turn a profit with their free apps for Apple products.
All in all, regardless of whether or not you offer a free app or a paid one, the freemium model is still one that works and with great success. Monetizing your free apps may take some time, but with the right approach and equal amount of effort you can make inroads with an app that may be free, but that clearly meets a market need.

Reimbursement – Pet Insurance Terms
What is Reimbursement?
Reimbursement is the amount a pet insurance company pays you for veterinary expenses. It is expressed as a percentage ranging from 60% to 100%. The most popular pet insurance plans have a reimbursement of 80% to 90% of your total vet bills.
How it Works
When your dog or cat receives treatment you will get an itemized bill from the veterinary clinic. After you get your bill you will submit a claim to your pet insurance company. Once the pet insurance company reviews and approves your claim they will send you a check or deposit funds into your bank account.
Reimbursement checks are usually issued within 5-7 days after the company receives your claim submission. The higher your reimbursement percentage the more expensive your plan will be because you'll pay less out of pocket after a claim.
If your reimbursement level is 80% and your claim is for $1,000 the company will pay $800 and you will pay $200. It's important to keep in mind that you will be responsible for paying the deductible each time you file a claim.
The most common deductible amounts are $100, $200 and $500. Here is a simple example of how reimbursement rates are calculated by pet insurance companies.
- Total Treatment Cost: $10,000
- Reimbursement Rate: 90%
- Calculation: $10,000 x 00% = $9,000
- Subtract Your Deductible: $200
- Total Reimbursed by Insurer: $8,800
Most companies allow you to pick your reimbursement level and deductible. It's also important to point out that some companies have annual and per incident deductible. The good news is that if your dog or cat is faced with a $10,000 life saving treatment the insurance company will pay $7,800.

Guns n'Boys: He Is Poison (Guns n'Boys #1)by K.A.Merikan
****3.5 Stars****
I had a bit of a hard time to rate this book because I have some mixed feelings about it.Altogether I liked it and I really enjoyed some parts of it, but others… not so much.
On the positive side, there would definitely be Dom. Honestly? What's not to love about a gorgeous, dangerous, somewhat unpredictable guy with a bit of an attitude, who sometimes shows his vulnerable side, especially when it comes to the rejection by his own father?
Yes, I know, basically, he is a killer, but still…
Seth, on the other hand, has attitude, in spades… Unfortunately, not the one that struck a chord with me. This guy was most of the time annoying as hell.
Overall too shallow, with the inclination to put too much emphasis on outward appearances. Well, that was something that bothered me a bit in general about this book. Sometimes I even got the impression I was reading a fashion magazine rather than a mafia story, but that only as a side note, so back to Seth. Kidnapped as the youngest son of a Sicilian Mafia don by the Chinese Triad, being tortured and held captive for several weeks…
… and the first thing that came to his mind when he is being rescued is that the suit his kidnappers gave him was somewhat ill-fitting compared to the one of his savior (Dom). Seriously? Oh, come on. (Maybe you can imagine my eye-roll…) Most of the time his behavior was that of a spoiled brat, not to say a drama queen, and every time he insisted that Dom should not treat him like a baby, I wanted to snap at him "Oh, yeah? Then don't behave like one!"
Thank God, it got better towards the end, at least a bit, as well as the development of the relationship between Dom and Seth. At first, I didn't really feel the connection between these two, especially because Dom had no problem with sharing Seth. Of course, it all based on sex at the beginning and since this is just the first book in a series I guess it will deepen, so I don't want to judge it too hard.
Well, said sex can only be described with one word:
Admittedly, at the beginning, it was somewhat dub-con cough, but since Seth could enjoy it, I could do the same. 😉 Surprisingly, the fact that Dom and Seth are half-brothers didn't bother me overly much, either. Surprisingly, I should add, because normally, I'm a bit sensitive in that regard.
The writing style itself was okay, I guess, but the metaphors that the authors used were sometimes definitely a tad OTT for my liking, e.g.
"He seemed as shy as a stallion ready to be mounted for the first time. Yearning for that saddle, but not ready to accept it."
Umm, as you can imagine, that got another eye-roll… Thank God, it didn't happen overly much.
So, I love to read a dark and twisted story now and then, and the ending made me curious about what will happen next, of course, I will go straight on to the next book.

We had exactly this question a few years ago for someone who wanted to add a NUMA paint scheme to a helicopter model in Flight Simulator 9.I've read almost all of the Cussler NUMA books and they just don't go into enough detail about the colour, it's just called 'turquoise'.So basically what you're saying is just pick a color and go with that. There's no right or wrong since his books and ships, etc. are fictional. However, as Cussler founded a REAL National Underwater and Maritime Agency after writing the books, you may find their web site worth looking at as the background colour to the site is all sorts of turquoise shades. https://numa.net/
Also, here is a link to an all blue green LPD-17 I saw on Deviantart website. It's nice, but I'd rather NOT paint my "entire" ship that kind of color. I just don't like the look of it. Also, I would be removing the stealthy enclosed radar masts and replacing them with the more traditional masts seen on Arleigh Burke destroyers. https://www.deviantart.com/scooternjng/art/Second-Attempt-498121948

Prenuptial agreements, also called premarital agreements, aren't quite as taboo as they was, however individuals usually nonetheless sneer on the thought. Many individuals think that if they get a prenuptial agreement then they have to consider their marriage is doomed to failure. "Doesn't a prenup mean that you don't belief one another?"
In at present's world, where 50 p.c of marriages finish in divorce, it looks as if prenuptial agreements are the smart thing to do it yourself postnuptial agreement. No, it doesn't mean that you really want the marriage to fail or that you just consider the marriage will fail. What it means is that you just want to put together for every possibility.
You get insurance in the event of a house fire, yes? Does that mean that you really want a house fire? Or that you just consider you will sometime have a house fire? No. You are simply being financially savvy.
Many individuals have superb reasons to get a prenuptial agreement. Listed here are the top three reasons.
Reason 1 — You Have a Lot of Belongings and Monetary Wealth
If you're rich, either by means of inheritance or from making the cash by yourself (or both), you might want to shield your assets. That doesn't mean you anticipate your partner to get nothing in the case of a divorce, however you could wish to shield what was rightfully yours lengthy earlier than you both decided to get together.
Reason 2 — To Defend Your Children's Inheritance
You most likely work really hard to provide for your children, and also you need your youngsters to be financially safe it doesn't matter what personal choices you make in your personal life. Getting a premarital agreement signifies that the children' money shall be protected, no matter what happens between you and your new spouse.
Reason three — To Shield Your Enterprise Interests
In the event you run a enterprise, then you may consider a premarital agreement. When divorce does occur, splitting a enterprise in half doesn't usually end well for either party within the divorce, or for the employees who are employed by the business.
If you have a prenup, then you can work out how the business property will be divided long before the relationship has soured. Speak it over now, whenever you're both thinking rationally.

Jayne* came to the Emergency Program in her late 20s. She didn't at all fit the stereotype of a homeless woman. She had previously studied psychology at University, held a government job, was articulate and well dressed. From the outside Jayne was a "normal" young woman with her life ahead of her, living a "normal, happy life".
Behind her exterior, Jayne had lived a troubled life and the depth of her trauma as a child, teen and young woman would eventually come to the surface during her time in the Catherine House Recovery Program.
During her childhood and teen years, Jayne experienced family and domestic violence and sexual abuse. She was estranged from her family, found herself in trouble with the law and experimented with drugs. At the age of just 12, Jayne was diagnosed with mental health issues.
There was nothing normal about Jayne's childhood..
Although Jayne was able to function day to day as a young adult, her life took a dramatic change when her long term relationship broke down and her daily struggle with mental illness resulted in her losing her job. She then lost her tenancy and she became homeless.
"I started staying with friends after I lost my place, I don't think I realised it at that time but really that is when my homelessness started".
Jayne stayed with various friends until she had exhausted all of her supports. Her mental health declined rapidly during this time and she attempted to take her own life. "I felt like I had lost everything".
After being discharged from hospital Jayne used what little money she had booking into cheap motels and when her money ran out she started sleeping in her car. "Every day I was hoping that when I called Catherine House they would have a vacancy and I would be the one to get it".
The day Jayne was phoned to say she had a place at Catherine House she burst into tears.
"I slipped through the cracks my whole entire life, Catherine House was the first place someone really listened to me".
When Jayne came to the Emergency Program she was not only struggling mentally and emotionally, but she was also in debt. She received assistance from the financial advisors that visit Catherine House, who facilitated access to her superannuation. "They asked me to give them all of my bills; they took care of everything, I will never forget the support they gave me as I honestly don't know where I would be now.
Jayne stayed in our Emergency Program for three months before moving into our Mental Health Recovery Program. However, after just a few months, Jayne moved out. Looking back now she knows that was a poor decision. She wasn't ready, she needed more support, she needed more time to start her recovery journey from a lifetime full of trauma, instability and a lack of support.
Jayne returned to Catherine House.
"My case worker fought for me, I had never been shown unconditional care and support before".
Jayne spent an extended period in the Recovery Program as she continued to work through all that brought her into homelessness. "I needed time; I needed the structure and the support of my case worker".
Every woman that comes to Catherine House is allocated a case worker and the role they play in every woman's recovery journey is vital.
"I needed consistency and consequences. Just knowing they were there. I grew up without any consequences, my brother and I spent a lot of time on our own, we didn't have any guidance.
My case worker didn't speak for me, but she was there for me. I have needed that long-term support because my life was such a mess; I had so many complex issues. Having extra time in the Recovery Program gave me extra time to focus on myself".
Whilst staying in the program, Jayne experienced health issues, which resulted in the loss of a lot of weight. This also became a trigger for an eating disorder that she has struggled with all of her life. "It was a really difficult time for me, I have struggled with my eating my whole entire life. I am now seeing a psychologist who specialises in eating disorders and it is really helping me, but I know it will be a lifelong battle". This is now one of Jayne's biggest challenges moving forward.
During Jayne's time at Catherine House she has participated in education courses, physical and mental wellbeing activities, music and has recently shown her passion for singing and dancing at Catherine House events.
Participating in these programs has helped to rebuild her confidence and think about what lies ahead for her.
Jayne is now living in one of Catherine House's transitional units. The unit allows her to live independently but still have the support of her caseworker and the wrap around support services provided at Catherine House.
"Catherine House is such a unique service, I feel validated with a sense of safety – I have never experienced that".
Whilst Jayne's immediate need is to continue her recovery journey and focus on her battle with her eating disorder, she is now planning to return to study and start thinking about her life after Catherine House.
"I would like to go back and finish my psychology degree. I also want to travel overseas and would really love to do some humanitarian work.
I have been so lucky to have the support I have had from Catherine House, I have felt undeserving, but I do feel very lucky. Having someone there consistently believing in me. I know it sounds clichéd, but it was like being reborn, starting from scratch. I had to relearn everything, building those foundations that you should be given as a child."
An integral part of a woman's recovery is being accountable for her decisions. "It has been really important for my healing to take responsibility for the decisions I make and for those I have made in the past".
The next step for Jayne is to leave Catherine House. This will be her ultimate challenge.
Jayne will be eligible to enter the Catherine House Outreach Program which will ensure she has continued support for her first 3-6 months after leaving the Recovery Program.
The Outreach Program provides each woman with a case worker who offers both emotional and practical support for the challenges they may face as they settle in and integrate into a new community, whilst they are working on their recovery.
We know from supporting women over the past thirty years, that providing outreach case work is vital in ensuring they are successful in their new lives and homes. Of most importance to them and us, is that they are successful in ending their homelessness journey.
Only 35% of women leaving Catherine House currently receive outreach support due to a lack of funding.
One of the things we have found that makes the most difference to women in restarting their lives in the community is when their case workers can provide outreach support. This can be the case worker visiting them on a weekly basis – or more if needed. It could be the case worker phoning them, making sure that the supports that have been put in place are still working. It could be someone problem solving with them when the going gets tough and things aren't going the way they had hoped, or just knowing that they can phone and ask for help at any time. As much or as little as is needed to make sure that the housing placement and their new lives are stable. This can make all the difference between a woman successfully moving on with her life, or falling back into homelessness.
Sadly, Jayne's story and journey to recovery is just one of the hundreds of women who walk in and out of our Emergency and Recovery Programs each year.

Antique pottery can be hard to determine if it is antique, this article gives information on how to determin if your piece is antique or not.
Pottery is made from clay baked in a kiln. The metal or mineral content is what created the basic color. Clay can be many different colors such as red, yellow, white, brown or gray. Pottery is most often used for less expensive ware.
Red ware is the name for objects made of red clay, it can be thrown on a potter's wheel or simply molded by hand. It s brittle and can be easily damaged, it is usually coated with a glaze, because it has large pores and absorbs the liquids. Yellow ware is English of American earthenware commonly used for kitchen items like mixing bowls. These are not often marked. Stoneware is refined earth wares made of a combination of clays and gassy ingredients. Most stone wares range in color from light gray to brown and are durable, dense and lightweight when thinly potted. Spatter ware and sponge wares were both produced in the nineteenth century, and were used mostly for decoration. Spatter ware is earthenware that has been spattered with colored liquefied clay, usually blue or red. Sponge ware is earthenware made for everyday use. It is heavier potted and more primitive that spatter ware, it is decorated with dabs of color applied with a sponge. Another variety of pottery is ironstone, which is an early nineteenth century type of white earthen ware that is sometimes called Stone China, or in America, White Granite Ware. It is tough and thick, plain or transfer=printed, it was frequently used for large dinner services or as commercial tableware.
Most American and European Arts and Crafts potters of the late nineteenth century worked in pottery rather than porcelain. True to its style, their wares were naturalistic and organic in color and shape, most were often handmade. Some of the most recognized potters of the nineteenth included people like Charles Volkmar, Chelsea Keramic, Lonhuda, George Ohr, Grueby Faience, Adalaide Alsop Robineau and Artus Van Briggle. There were manufactures and schools that were noted for their potter abilities as well such as Rookwood, Weller and Newcomb College.
Charles Volkmar's pottery was decorated with ladscapes and animals, which reflects his training as a painter. Chelsea Keramic became the Dedham Pottery and made blue-and- white tableware. Many of the best art potters were trained at Rookwood. The firm made lamps, mantels and wall plaques and many other unusual items. Lonhuda was best known for a high-glass brown glaze on a yellow body, his work imitated Native American pottery shapes and images. Weller was one of the largest pottery works in the world, which manufactured everything from matte-green art pottery to the oil-slick glazes of Jacques Sicard. George Ohr was a self-proclaimed eccentric and genius, who made thousand of pieces of pottery, with no two alike, using a variety of techniques. Newcomb College trained women potters, and every piece is marked with the initials of the college, its designer and its potter. Grueby Faience was a factory that was known both for its art pottery and its architectural tiles.
One of the great pleasures of pottery is that they are often marked. A single mark on a piece of pottery can reveal the country and often the factory that it was manufactured in as well as the year it was made. The marks can even tell you the very month that is was made.
Marks are usually printed under the glaze, using a stamp or transfer technique. You will find them located on the bottom or back of an object. Sometimes they are painted over or under the glaze. If a piece has no mark, it may predate the use of marks and would be worth researching. It was common in the late-nineteenth and twentieth century wares to have no mark.
The value of pottery depends on its condition. A cracked vase or bowl is useful only as a cabinet piece, because it can not be handled, used or displayed in the front, this is a drawback. Just because these pieces are old does not necessarily mean they are valuable. Ornamental objects such as vases or figures are often more valuable than utilitarian pieces like cups and saucers the most least sought after of pottery wares. Although all potteries are fragile, if damaged collectors will only accept very rare pieces. On common pieces chips, cracks and replaced parts destroy the value. If you find a piece that the designs are printed on these are usually less valuable than pieces that the designs are hand painted on.

She is currently trying to improve her Romanian language skills.
Chorus registrar
Dr Janet Littlewood
Jan first joined the Cambridge Philharmonic chorus in 1981, when Tim Brown was conductor. After a break, she rejoined in 1997 on realising just how much she was missing singing regularly in a good choir.

Jan also plays viola in a quartet and in the LDO (Late Developers' Orchestra).
Orchestral fixer
Emma Lawrence
Emma, who plays second violin, has been a member of the Cambridge Philharmonic since 1997.

A German native (though increasingly losing her German speaking skills after having been in the UK for nearly 14 years), Viola gained a master's degree in cultural studies and musicology at the University of Leipzig.
Chorus representative
Anne Matthewman
Anne was fortunate at school to have the opportunity to sing in the choir, madrigal group, light opera society and learn to play an instrument. There began her love of music and she has sung alto in choirs ever since. She loves opera and goes to performances whenever she can. She is a zoologist with a research degree in ecology and has worked in various areas of education throughout her professional life. She joined the Phil in 2011 and much enjoys the variety of music performed. She helps at concerts and was elected chorus representative in September 2015.
Assistant treasurer
Nicholas Sayer
Nicholas joined the Phil a little over three years ago as a second tenor and enjoys the friendship and warmth of the chorus, and in particular, performing in the annual opera concerts.

The Historical Romance Book Genre
Historical romances are a type of historical novel that takes place in the past. They may contain several plot lines, but the main plot usually follows the romance of the hero and heroine. The setting might be based upon fictionalized accounts of real events. While the authors of some historical romance books allow themselves quite a bit of poetic license, others base their stories upon an extensive study of past times, events, and location.
After the list of today's free historical romances on Amazon, read on to learn more about this popular romance genre.
Today's Free Historical Romance eBooks on Amazon
This list of historical romance eBooks from Amazon was updated Saturday, April 4th 2020:
What to Expect Out of Historical Romance
Some of the most popular times and places for the setting of these novels include prehistory, ancient times, Medieval times, and of course, Elizabethan, Recency, and Victorian England. Certainly, several different time period of American history are also popular, including Revolutionary and Colonial America, the Civil War, and the Old West. Naturally, this genre also covers the early to middle part of the 20th Century.
In other words, it's possible to find prehistoric people, ancient people, knights, royalty, cowboys, pirates, Vikings, and business barons in these books. Sometimes there are even Native Americans and homesteaders. Very often, the characters are more ordinary types of folks, but they must rise above their circumstances.
While there isn't just one formula for this type of romantic novel, they often do follow a pattern. There is usually a powerful hero and a strong-minded heroine. They must overcome some obstacles in order to find that they both really like each other. In the end, this relationship might end in a passionate affair or even a marriage.

For a long time I've felt that the Gatehouse Gazetteer gives those researching castles an unfair advantage over people in other fields. Philip Davis has done an excellent job on creating bibliographies for every castle, fortified manor house, and fortified church in England and Wales (as well as including rejected sites). The more I've learnt about castles, the more important I've found this resource to be, not least because it includes links to sources where they are online. Cathcart King's Castellarium Anglicanum was an index of castles in England and Wales and included key bibliographic items, but print format limits your space. Now everyone can build on that work thanks to Davis and his website.
The Internet has a very important role to play in the exchange of information and breaking down borders. While online translating tools such as Google translate are imperfect, they often let you get the jist of what's going on and communicate to an extent. The only language I'm fluent in is English, which means a wealth of information about fascinating sites would otherwise be closed to me. Through books such as M W Thompson's Rise of the Castle I can learn about trends in places such as France, or with Barker and Higham's Timber Castles even further afield. But excavation reports about individual sites are rarely translated.
All this means that the other week I was able to email the European Castles Institute (Europäisches Burgeninstitut) to ask them a question relating to my research. They've been very helpful and have pointed me towards a few potentially useful sources, and brought my attention to a wonderful illustration from a medieval manuscript which I intend to use in my thesis.
I don't think I was aware of the Institute until a couple of weeks ago, partly because they are based in Germany. In fairness, the website of both the Castle Studies Group and Castle Studies Trust link to the institution and promote other organisations. The CSG newsletter even includes news from across Europe. My interest was piqued by the scope of ECI so I started exploring their website a bit. Importantly they have a database which covers nine countries: Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Netherlands, and Slovakia. It looks to be fully searchable online, which potentially makes it a very powerful tool, and there's a notice on the site saying that it is regularly updated. It's interesting to see that France and the UK aren't included. I don't know what the reasons are; I sincerely hope that the database keeps expanding as the Gatehouse Gazetteer has been so useful. Collections of data can only be a benefit as it gives researchers hard facts and figures on which to base analysis.
Journals such as Chateau Gaillard do a fine job of drawing together papers from across Europe, as does their bi-annual conference. I hope to attend at some point, but the fact I'm not fluent in other languages limits how much I might get out of it. Hopefully the works found in Chateau Gaillard and the availability of the database of castles in nine European countries means there is scope for exchanging information and approaches between languages.
On the other hand, the European Castles Institute are based in Philippsburg Castle, and the German Castles Association which owns the ECI is itself based in Marksburg (pictured at the top of this page). I'm not jealous, I just don't think it's fair they get two castles and I don't have even one yet.

It seems like people are getting catfished more than ever since the movie Catfish came out in 2010, but that's probably just because people are more wary of being conned and they can now share their stories online.
However, if you find out the person you've been texting on Tinder who catfished you is an actual fishman would you share that story on social media?
This silly skit from The Late Late Show with James Corden may not be anywhere near as good as the Oscar nominated movie it's based on The Shape Of Water, but James Corden does look pretty cool in that fishman suit. Maybe it's time for a Creature From The Black Lagoon reboot starring Corden?

What NOT to Buy...Yes, You Heard It Right!
There are so many 'what TO buy', 'here's everything you NEED', 'here are 10293 of my FAVORITE items from the sale' type posts floating around so I figured I would try and bring you something a little more valuable...what NOT to buy from the 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Point blank - with the amount of influencers covering the sale, it's very easy to feel like you want everything, and need more than you had set out to buy. But here's the thing...you don't.
When you see people leaving a Nordstrom store with 15 bags, know that they're using most of those items to try on and share, and will return most of it later. As a shopper, I'm telling you that it's not realistic to buy 10 pairs of shoes. Somehow, though, when we see influencers sharing their "shopping trips" and leaving with those 15 bags, we subconsciously might be more inclined to buy MORE because we feel like we need to.
I'm going to break it down short and simple for you today after having shopped the sale for years, of what to leave out when it comes to the 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
1 / That One Thing You See Everyone Buying
Okay yes - everyone is buying that one thing because it's cute, on-trend and a great price BUT - there's always that one item that everyone won't stop talking about, which sells out in a day.
Unless you feel like you can't live without it (which is rare), you don't need it, and you also don't need to be wearing the same thing as EVERYONE else.
2 / More than 1-2 Fall Pieces
One of the perks of the sale is that you get to shop pre-season pieces...in JULY. I've experienced first hand buying a handful of Fall pieces that I loved at the time, only to leave them sitting in my closet once October rolled around.
Again, unless you feel like it's going to be a true staple in your wardrobe, hold off. Prices will eventually drop again, and if they don't, chances are you'll find something else you love even more.
3 / A Major Splurge Item
Brand marketing 101...those great deals? They'll get better. What you think might be a major steal on a splurge item during a sale, sometimes may not be all that special.
4 / Basics
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the value in buying basics at Nordstrom! We see "sale" and think we're getting a great deal for a basic but in reality, you can find great basics at stores like Zara, H&M, Madewell for a fraction of the price.
Brixton is the brand I really try to keep an eye out for during the sale. If you love Lack of Color but don't want to spend over $100 for a hat, this one (also pictured below) is a great alternative! Will be the first thing I add to my cart. For reference, I wear a S in Brixton.
My advice for buying Fall sweaters during the sale is to look for neutral pieces that will turn into wardrobe staples. An open cardigan great for layering or a versatile tunic that you can style for work or a night out.
Midi Skirts
Disclaimer here...I live in midi skirts all year round. A midi-skirt sweater is my go-to Fall combo, and for that reason, I'll be picking up a few! If you love midis, I recommend finding one basic that will get you through the season. Also love this suede mini style from BLANK NYC (runs TTS).
This was actually the most highly-requested category that you guys asked for from the sale! Girl, I gotchu - I love me some shoes too. Don't go crazy with Fall boots! There will be a lot but there will also be tons of even newer arrivals come September. Also crushing majorly on these Converse platforms with rose gold detailing!
That's about all I'm going to round up specifically, but you can head right over to
my Nordstrom tab on my top menu to see a full list of finds by category!
[Enter to win $100 to shop the sale once it's live to the public below!]
So true! The after season sales are actually way better and gets you most bang for your buck. I normally don't buy a lot of items from the NSale but I do think there are items that are worth the investment. Of course, that doesn't mean buying 5-10 items but rather focusing on one. For example, two years ago I bought the Blondo booties and it is a workhorse! This year is a jacket and I know it will be put through the test!

I like all of these boots.
I am excited to shop jeans! I definitely need new ones
I love those hats! Nordstrom is the best 🙂
I'm excited to shop tops and jackets! I'm loving those panama hats too!

I'm excited to shop for shoes. I always get such a great deal during the sale.
Girl!! You just make the most fun, comfy, gorgeous looking looks! Like I love how you add all these fun accessories like those beautiful hats!
I'm obsess with all the skirts you posted but its so hard to find a midi skirt to look flattering with all the junk I have in my trunk.
I really want one new plush sweater for winter!!
Definitely want to check out the adorable shoes. Thanks for the chance.
I am most excited about the boots and booties. There are so many great ones — like the Vince Camuto Nestel Knee High Boots
Definitely looking for sweaters this year.
With my current budget I don't see myself shopping the sale, but if I did I would stick with neutral pieces and especially a pair of jeans and a cardigan.
I'm excited to get a new bag and a new pair of shoes or two
I am excited to shop for some great boots and shoes.
I need to shop for a coat and I would love a Barefoot Dreams Cardigan
I'm really loving the sandal booties!!! So cute with jeans!

I am dying for some cute new tops and SHOES!
This is a great post. I love that you included what not to buy, and did things differently from everyone else covering the sale! 👏🏻
I will be shopping for cashmere sweaters.
Thanks for the great post!! I'm off to order a hat!!
i live in florida and so it's very hard to shop fall item anything (except for booties because i can wear them year round) and so i always tend to wait until the septmeber sale to see if anything i thought was worth while comes back.
i do want to stock up on some volsupa candles again this year. and some of the beauty stuff looks pretty good.
I have my eye on the Vince Camuto Gigietta Snakeskin Booties and the Thread & Supply Cream Wubby Pullover in the NSale!
I like the Satin Midi
I like the different ideas you have.
I want to buy jeans and sandals
Thank you for posting this! SO many bloggers never say what not to buy only what to buy. And of course there are hats on your list!!! <3
This is a great what NOT to buy post, Danielle! I am for sure grabbing a hat ASAP before they are sold out.
XO Amanda | http://affordablebyamanda.com
I'm excited to buy some fall sweaters and baby bling bows for my daughter!
Thanks for the tips. I need some new jeans.
By far the best blog post regarding this sale!! Omg thanks for speaking the truth! Last year was my first year having a credit card so I shopped early & I can't believe I only applied for it because I had my heart dead set on a brand new real leather jacket. By far one of my favorite purchases. This year, I found myself getting caught up in all the hype but sat with myself and wrote a list of things I actually needed… needless to say, I stocked up on much needed bras/spanx/panties & a pair of over the knee boots. I highly suggest this method and it'll save you buyers regret or looking like everyone else
A good staple jean
Love the Not To section! I definitely need some new core pieces. Especially comfy dress pants.
I am looking to buy shoes and new sweaters/tops for fall.
These are all really good tips. I do like investing in high quality basics though – they get the most wear in my wardrobe.
Thank you for the tips ! I am excited to shop for shoes!
So helpful to hear this info! It is definitely an overwhelming sale, and so many bloggers cover it, it's easy to feel FOMO if you don't buy every last item!!!
Pants and stuff are what I'd get. Cool shares.
I shouldn't buy 10 pair of shoes?!? As long as I can snag a pair of Steve Madden Studded Loafers I'll be okay!
I love shopping pre-season. It's the perfect time to snag awesome deals!
I LOVE that you did this post about what not to buy. So many including me sometimes get caught up in the hype and don't realize you don't need half of it. Thank you for doing this. Do love your picks though. 🙂
there are a lot of things that are posted over and over and I'm meh over or know that I would wear maybe for one season, max. I love that you did a "What not to buy" post.

Diamonds and Dogs
Your portfolio has an ally today. Today's diamond, Alliance Fiber Optic (AFOP) is surging 19% after agreeing to merge with customer, Corning for a $305 million. This deal will add to Corning's Optical Communications sector by adding AFOP's ability to create optical components for cloud data-center operators. With today's rally, Alliance is back to levels not seen since October.
Gap is gapping lower. Retail heavy weight, Gap Inc. (GPS) is down 14% not far from their 52 week low following disappointing earnings. Gap saw sales fall to $1.43 billion from $1.53 billion a year ago while same store sales decline by 6% in March. Among its brands, Banana Republic saw the largest decline of 14% in same-stores sales compared to a 3% a year earlier. The Easter holiday left Gap with some rotten eggs.
