Crimson Tide Sail Into the Win Column

By Lorenzo Recupero

Following losses to both Saugus and Gloucester to open the season, Everett Crimson Tide softball earned its first win of the season with a, 12-9, decision over Latin Academy at Glendale Park.

Sophomore pitcher Veronica Bento held down the mound for Everett (1-2), going 7 strong innings and fanning seven batters along the way.

Everett opened the game with a 2-1 lead going into the second inning after scoring two runs courtesy of Madison Smith, who drove in Maddy Duraes from first with a triple and then scored from third on a errant throw from Latin Academy.

The Lady Tide’s grip on the game was tested in second inning with LA pulling ahead after scoring four runs to Everett’s one run on a homer by lead-off batter Izza Bourouis (2-3, 1 HR, 2 RBI).

Latin Academy would take advantage of 7 errors committed by Everett over the next 3 innings, while holding on to a, 8-6, lead entering the sixth inning.

Crimson Tide batters used a 5-hit sixth, lead by Bourouis’ double that knocked in Duraes and Smith, to help claw back to a 12-9 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

The come-from-behind win was a start in the right direction for the Tide, but head coach Stacy Schiavo was clear that improvements needed to be made on the defensive end in order for the team to succeed going forward.

“Coaches had to keep reminding the girls errors will destroy the game and we were allowing them to beat us,” said Schiavo. “I told them we only had one more shot and needed to step it up and they pulled through and produced singles when they needed to,” said Schiavo of her team’s 13-hit effort (9 singles).

“They adjusted to Latin Academy’s third pitcher and made their at bats count. This was a great come back and was happy to get our first win,” she said.

Monday’s matchup with Salem was rescheduled due to a rainout. The team will look to protect home field for their next two matchups on Wednesday, April 18 against Peabody at 10AM and Friday, April 20 against Revere at 10AM.

Izza Bourouis – 2 for 3 (HR, double, RBI)

Kloey Cardillo- 2 for 3- (2 singles)

Maddy Duraes- 3 for 4 (3 singles, RBI)

Kaylee Nearen- 2 for 3 (1 triple, 2 singles, 2 RBI)

Madison Smith- 3 for 4 (triple, 2 singles, 2 RBI)

Elk Goes Down; Darwin Breathes a Sigh of Relief

David Klinghoffer

Those Darwin statues can draw a sigh of relief. I worried that “protesters” in the U.S. and U.K. might pick up a copy of The Descent of Man and realize that Charles Darwin supplied a pseudoscientific basis for hair-raising racism and even genocide. I warned against the prospect of their pulling down or mutilating historic statues of Darwin.

More recently, events have suggested that the vandals are interested more in mindless destruction than in making a statement about racial equality. Now they’ve attacked a statue of an elk in Portland, Oregon. An elk, mind you. A symbol of a city, representing an artist’s effort and creativity, that had seen 120 years of Portland’s history, and that can’t remotely be connected to race or racism, is now gone.

“A Powerful Push” to Racism

Julie Borg at World Magazine summarizes some of the historical background on Darwin and race, citing our colleagues John West, Wesley Smith, and me.

Race-based discrimination has multiple sources, many of which preceded Darwin, but evolutionary theory gave “a powerful push to a scientific version of racism that still impacts us today,” said John West, vice president and a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute.

In his 1871 book The Descent of Man, Darwin depicted Africans as less evolved than white people. The mainstream scientific community in Europe and the United States accepted that characterization and used it to promote racial discrimination.

“For generations, American public school children learned from their biology textbooks the pseudoscience that Caucasians are more advanced on the evolutionary ladder than Africans,” David Klinghoffer, another senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, wrote for Evolution News and Science Today.

The academic institutions’ racism seeped into popular society, as West traces in his documentary Human Zoos: America’s Forgotten History of Scientific Racism. Former Association for the Advancement of Science President William McGee transported thousands of indigenous people from around the world to display in a “human zoo” at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. The exhibits described them as a kind of missing link between apes and humans to demonstrate the truth of evolution. The journal Science published an article by McGee making a similar argument. Organizers set up such human exhibits in places like New York City and Seattle to educate the public on Darwin’s theory.

Four decades after the United States outlawed slavery, Samuel Phillips Verner purchased a young Mbuti pygmy man named Ota Benga from slave traders in the Congo for the World’s Fair exhibit. In 1906, officials at the Bronx Zoo in New York City put Benga in a cage with an orangutan. When two African American clergymen raised objections to his inhumane treatment, The New York Times responded with an article assuring people that “the pygmies … are very low in the human scale,” Klinghoffer noted.

The fact that, given all this, the vandals are not likely to turn their fury on Darwin statues is another indication that their violence isn’t really about black lives. They desecrate an elk, but hold the prime modern fountain of anti-black scientific racism as blameless. What more do you need to know?

A Question for Your Friends

Speaking of which, here’s a question to pose to your evolutionist friends. In light of any serious consideration of Judeo-Christian tradition, denigrating any human by reference to his race is intolerable. If religious believers are consistent with Scripture, we must hold every man and woman, of whatever skin tone, as equal in reflecting God’s image. Obviously, not every believer has been consistent. But it’s no coincidence that the abolitionist and civil rights movements both arose not among atheists but among passionate Christians. It’s why pastors and priests protested the caging of an African pygmy at the Bronx Zoo in 1906, while a sneering New York Times defended it:

By contrast, from the viewpoint of unguided evolution, why would you expect that human populations (“races”) would be equal? Why would that thought even cross an evolutionist’s mind?

A Hierarchy of Species

Think about other species that no one regards as being stamped with a divine image. We have no problem agreeing that different breeds of dogs are unequal. Of course they’re unequal! Here’s a list of 79 breeds ranked by intelligence, with Border Collie at the top and Afghan Hound, poor dear, at the bottom.

Nor do we have a problem with ranking dogs by their dollar value. Here’s a list of the 45 most expensive breeds. Are you offended? I didn’t think so.

Given a Darwinian starting point to your reasoning, that humans would exhibit a racial hierarchy is what you’d expect. Ask your Darwinist friends why purposeless nature gives us instead, against all reason, human equality.

Animals arrange themselves into hierarchies of dominance. Why not humans? What is the evolutionary argument against unapologetic racism and the supremacy of whatever race can climb to the top? If you’re honest with yourself, that question has no answer.

Dinky Anemik

Chilean born, Berlin-based producer Dinky (aka Alejandra Iglesias) comes out with her impressive fourth release, Anemik, on Mathew Jonson's Canadian label, Wagon Repair. In the mid-'90s, Iglesias became infatuated with techno after an influential trip to Berlin and moved to NYC to study dance. Her musical upbringing and international experiences contribute to her texturally diverse tech house. On Anemik, she opens with "Childish," a rhythmic, melodic dreamscape that draws you deep within its grooves. "Westoid" is a funky, harmonious vocal house track that features Chilean pop star and friend Jorge Gonzales. "Ceramik" glides effortlessly from start to finish, with Latin-infused percussion beats, fluid vocal climbs and gratifying dance floor rhythms. The album comes to a close with "Fadik," a quirky acoustic rendition of Mazzy Star's hit "Fade Into You," and "Nocturnal," a 33-second ambient bleed. Dinky's superb craftsmanship and skill permeate every track. Anemik is a flawless album that delicately balances deep, complex rhythmic structures with experimental, melodic downtempo sensibilities. Highly recommended. (Wagon Repair)

Touché Amoré Detail 'Is Survived By,' Unveil Cover Art

Touché Amoré Detail 'Is Survived By,' Unveil Cover Art
Melodic California post-hardcore crew Touché Amoré recently revealed a September 24 due date for their impending third full-length LP Is Survived By, and now the band have let loose the tracklisting info and cover art for the set.

The album art was revealed today (July 17) over on the group's website. As you can see up above, it features a smudged-out silhouette of the band in the foreground, with a cityscape looming far behind. The pale blue piece was produced by the band's guitarist Nick Steinhardt, working from a photograph taken by Ryan Aylsworth.

Though proper sound samples have yet to arrive for the 12-song set, which will be delivered via Deathwish Inc., the tracklisting reveals that the collection will be capped by a title cut. Other tracks include "Social Caterpillar," "DNA," and "Kerosene." You can catch all the details down below.

As previously reported, the album was recorded with producer Brad Wood (Sunny Day Real Estate, Smashing Pumpkins) in Valley Village, CA, and follows the band's split 7-inch with Pianos Become the Teeth that came out earlier this year. The group's full-length effort prior to Is Survived By was 2011's Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me.

2. To Write Content

In a world being digitally transformed, the fear for many is that the digitally-empowered will increasingly exploit technology for their own personal gains, manipulate laws in their favour, and influence politics and society through data-driven targeting of individuals and groups. The poster child for many of these fears is the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Much has been written and discussed about this, but the results of a 3-year investigation released this month provide an opportunity to reflect on two of the broader lessons.

From the earliest definitions and discussions of the digital economy in the 1990s there have been concerns expressed for the influences digital technologies may have on our behaviours, and the impact they might be able to exhort on our society and institutions. These fears came to the forefront for many with the Cambridge Analytica scandal during the last US election. The company had been using data gathering and analysis to influence elections in all parts of the work over several years. However, with its activities in 2013–16 in the Brexit referendum and the US election, it was accused of obtaining large amounts of data from Facebook without users’ consent to target political advertising and influence the results.

After the reports of these activities surfaced in 2018, there was a great deal of discussion about the sophisticated technologies employed by Cambridge Analytica, and the way this had changed the actions of many people. Can the result of elections be changed by those with the digital know-how to nudge their thinking in one direction or another? A new report on Cambridge Analytica casts doubt on this.

The report is a great reminder that in the world of AI and data science, not everything is as it seems. The Cambridge Analytica story illustrates this perfectly. The analysis of large amounts of personal data to learn more about an individual’s behaviour is combined with a barrage of prompts to nudge opinions and convert indecision into action. Far from a trivial matter of influencing purchasing decisions or getting to like a video, these techniques have huge implications when technology, data surveillance, and politics collide.

However, as outlined by Laurie Clark’s article summarizing the report in the New Statesman, the substantial 3-year investigation by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) concluded that there was no evidence that Cambridge Analytica had misused data to influence Brexit or aid Russian intervention in elections. What is more, the investigation placed a great deal of doubt on the claims of Cambridge Analytica in two key areas with important implications for our broader understanding of the digital economy.

The first key finding was that Cambridge Analytica was not doing anything novel in its application of data science to understand and analyze personal data. The investigation found that commonly used data science techniques were used. There was no magic to what they did to gather data, examine it, and make predictions. What they were able to achieve is possible by anyone using commonly available technology, infrastructure, and skills.

The second critical comment from the review was to cast doubt on whether the approach of data-driven micro-targeting by Cambridge Analytics influenced the election results at all. The evidence is mixed. However, there is certainly no data that shows these techniques were able to change voting habits so that Cambridge Analytica helped US states “turn red instead of blue”, as claimed by their former director in the Netflix documentary, The Great Hack. We just don’t know enough about the triggers for nudging voting behaviour to make such claims.

The consequence of this review is therefore both disturbing and reassuring at the same time. What Cambridge Analytica did to understand and target individuals with state-of-the-practice approaches is something happening to us all the time. The frequency of these attempts to influence us will become commonplace, and their range will undoubtedly grow. However, even so, as individuals with different experiences and ways of seeing the world, it is good to know that we are not so easily pushed, prodded, and persuaded as we’d feared.

It is comforting to conclude that in a world increasingly instrumented, automated, and guided by sophisticated data-driven algorithms, it is the fact that we are human that may well be our best hope.

The Limits of Enhanced Disclosure in Bankruptcy Law: Anticipated and Experienced Emotion

Richard L. Wiener, Jason A. Cantone, Michael Holtje, Susan Block-Lieb

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

This chapter is a social scientific and psychological analysis of recent bankruptcy policy reforms. The discussion examines the application of bankruptcy policy and its attempt at debt regulation from the perspective of experimental psychology. More specifically, it identifies assumptions in the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 that pertain to the Truth in Lending Act's mandated disclosures in credit card contract agreements. The chapter is organized as follows. First, it discusses the recent bankruptcy reform act with an eye toward assumptions about consumer behavior embodied in the law. The second section reviews the findings from work on emotional expectations and the effectiveness of enhanced disclosure that the law anticipates. The third section describes additional data about consumer conduct and experienced emotion. The fourth and final section lays out some additional considerations for future research on emotion and consumer use of credit, especially the role of financial literacy.

Bear Glacier and Strohn Lake, BC
The highway that runs to Stewart from BC Highway 37, the Stewart-Cassiar, is Highway 37A, the Glacier Highway. While only 65 kilometers long (40.4 miles), it's one of the finest short pieces of road in British Columbia, and we have posted a mile-by-mile photo album of the drive in.

Stewart, British Columbia Welcome to Stewart. September 15, 2002.

Stewart, British Columbia The Stewart Museum is jammed full of artifacts and photos.

Stewart, British Columbia Downtown Stewart.

Stewart, British Columbia The Ripley Creek Inn in downtown Stewart is a charming place, with a great parlour overlooking the harbour, and furniture handmade from timbers taken from old mine buildings.

Stewart, British Columbia When the Granduc Mine was being developed, the community of Stewart was greatly enlarged to house the employees with families (most of the single men lived at camp). Much of what was known as "the Granduc Subdivision" is now abandoned and overgrown.

Stewart, British Columbia The log dumps used to be a very busy place, but all was quiet in September 2002.

between Stewart and Hyder. September 14, 2002.

Stewart, British Columbia

The historic stone storehouse at Hyder, Alaska From a plaque on the building:
"Army Engineer Storehouse No. Four
This storehouse, Alaska's first masonry building, was built in 1896 under the direction of Captain David D. Gaillard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In August 1896, Captain Gaillard was ordered to investigate Portland Canal, the waterway marking the Alaska-Canada boundary. He was also to build four storehouses, in Alaska, along the Canal's west bank. The lighthouse tender Manzanita was assigned to the mission. Loaded with coal, supplies, equipment, and materials (including cement, lumber, nails, and shingles for the storehouses), she left Seattle August 29, reaching the head of the Channel four days later. Workmen and supplies were unloaded here at Eagle Point, and, as the tender returned down the Channel, at three other locations. This building, Storehouse Number 4, was completed September 21, 1896. Storehouse Number 3, at Halibut Bay, was completed five days later. Storehouses 2 and 1, on Pearse and Wales Islands, were finished September 28. As the result of the decision of a 1903 Boundary Tribunal, the Alaska-Canada border was re-established north of Pearse and Wales Islands, and thereafter Storehouses 1 and 2 have been on Canadian soil. Gaillard subsequently served on the US-Mexico International Boundary Commission, in the Spanish-American War in Cuba as a colonel of engineers, and with the Isthmian (Panama) Canal Commission. His contributions to the construction of the Panama Canal where it crosses the Continental Divide at Culebra were recognized by the naming of that most difficult cut in his honor - Gaillard Cut. He died in Baltimore December 5, 1913, at the age of 54, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery."

Entering Hyder, Alaska Entering Hyder on September 14, 2002.

Hyder, Alaska In its early years, Hyder was built almost entirely out over the water, on these pilings. The US-Canada border slash can be seen on the hillside, so the town was obviously built over Canadian water!

Stewart, British Columbia The million-dollar bear viewing platform was built at Fish Creek in 2001. This is the only official bear-viewing location in Alaska that is accessible by road. The platform is the Forest Service's answer to what had often been described as "a tragedy waiting to happen" due to the large numbers of bears and humans here, particularly in late July and early August. There were no bears here on September 14, 2002.

Stewart, British Columbia Dead and dying salmon can be seen in the crystal-clear water. The chimney is from one of the hundreds of mines that have operated in this area over the past century or so.

Stewart, British Columbia A pond along the lower Salmon River Road. The country is so vast that photography can be a challenge, figuring out how to get it all in. This image is 2 vertical shots with a 32-mm lens, stitched together.

Stewart, British Columbia Back in July 1975, when this photo was taken along the lower Salmon River Road, there were important mining artifacts laying everywhere. They appear to all be in private collections now, in Stewart, Hyder and elsewhere. Ah, the things that Denny and I saw - without exception, all of the best places are now history...

Stewart, British Columbia Mine ruins along the lower Salmon River Road in September 2002.

Stewart, British Columbia This dam at the west end of Long Lake was built in about 1938 to provide water for a powerhouse at the Big Missouri Mine. In July 1975, this location was accessed by a road that was barely passable even by 4x4. The deteriorating dam was blown out in about 1988, using experimental directional explosives so the surrounding area wasn't damaged.

Stewart, British Columbia Looking over the ruins of the Big Missouri mine manager's house, the powerhouse can be seen on the far side of Hog Lake in this photo from July 1975. In about 2000, the powerhouse was dismantled, with the timbers from the roof being used to build furniture for the Ripley Creek Inn in Stewart.

Stewart, British Columbia The Premier Gold Mine, under several owners, produced steadily from 1918 until 1953, then sporadically for another few years. It was extremely profitable for most of its life, paying out about 22 million dollars in dividends. In 1975, the huge seven-storey main bunkhouse was still stable enough to wander through.

Stewart, British Columbia In 1975, there were still documents of all kinds strewn around the Premier Gold Mine office, though the roof had been collapsed by heavy snow, with the steel beams bent like they were made of tin.

The panorama below looks across the tailings-filled valley to the slope where the Premier Gold Mine used to be. September 14, 2002.

Stewart, British Columbia

Stewart, British Columbia Although the road can be rough after a wet spell, the drive to the Salmon Glacier is a must for Stewart visitors. For those who prefer not to drive a narrow mountain road like this, tours are available in Stewart.

Stewart, British Columbia Fogged in? No problem, just get out your picnic lunch and wait for the Mountain King to clear the skies for you. While you're dining, though, be sure to keep your senses in tune - this is GRIZZLY country, and they love picnics almost as much as ants do!

Stewart, British Columbia If you ever start feeling that you're a Very Important Person, come up and stand here for a couple of minutes. I'm quite certain that this view of the Salmon Glacier will put things back into perspective. While it's still massive (the fifth largest in Canada), a series of 4 photos taken in 1975 and 2015 clearly show the Salmon Glacier's dramatic retreat.

Stewart, British Columbia This log cabin overlooking the Salmon Glacier housed miners for about a decade from 1910, and in the 1960s was sided with corrugated metal sheets so it could be used again. It was in very poor condition when I took this photo in 2002, and when I went back in 2015, it had collapsed. Just to the right, John Carpenter's movie The Thing (set in Antarctica) was filmed over the winter of 1981-1982.

Below - past the Salmon Glacier is the abandoned road to the site of the Granduc mine - this is the road that I took to work every day in 1975. When the mine was operating, the tunnel was only used when avalanches closed the road around it - the driver would pull up to the tunnel and pull a cord which opened heavy steel doors.

Stewart, British Columbia

Below - it's difficult to believe now that on this site was a mine that cost $115,000,000 to develop, and a camp that housed over 500 people. On September 14, 2002, there wasn't much left - the mountains and the Berendon Glacier dominate the scene again.

Stewart, British Columbia

Below - the ruins of the Granduc mill as it looked on September 14, 2002. In the center of the photo sits a Chevy SUV for scale. To the right of it is a brown door - that is the entrance to a railway that ran 15 miles underground to the working area.

Stewart, British Columbia

Below - to the left of the Berendon Glacier can be seen the Granduc mill foundation. The railway to the workings ran straight through the mountain that dominates this scene.

Aerial photo of Kitsault, British Columbia, in 1985 Mining artifacts, and even abandoned towns are scattered throughout the backcountry in this region. This is Kitsault in 1985 - located near the head of Alice Arm, it was built in the early 1970s to house 1,000 or so people, for a molybdenum mine. After less than two years the mine shut down, but the vacant town remains. Further down Alice Arm is the abandoned town of Anyox.

GP Handlebars Kit specific for the last born of Borgo Panigale, the Ducati V4.

Martyrs of the Kvabtakhevi Monastery in Georgia (†1386)

On April 10 we commemorate two large groups of Georgian Orthodox martyrs under the sword of Islam: the Martyrs of the Kvabtakhevi Monastery (recounted below), who were burned alive by their Muslim tormentors in 1386, and the Six-Thousand Martyrs of Georgia (†1615).

Better known are the 100,000 Holy Martyrs of Tbilisi  (†1227), who refused to deny Christ and were beheaded, thus receiving their heavenly crowns.

Martyrs of the Kvabtakhevi Monastery in Georgia

Commemorated April 10 | OCA

In the 14th century, during the reign of King Bagrat V (1360-1394), Timur (Tamerlane) invaded Georgia seven times. His troops inflicted irreparable damage on the country, seizing centuries-old treasures and razing ancient churches and monasteries.

Timur’s armies ravaged Kartli, then took the king, queen, and the entire royal court captive and sent them to Karabakh (in present-day Azerbaijan). Later Timur attempted to entice King Bagrat to renounce the Christian Faith in exchange for permission to return to the throne and for the release of the other Georgian prisoners.

For some time Timur was unable to subjugate King Bagrat, but in the end, being powerless and isolated from his kinsmen, the king began to falter. He devised a sly scheme: to confess Islam before the enemy, but to remain a Christian at heart. Satisfied with King Bagrat’s decision to “convert to Islam,” Timur permitted the king to return to the throne of Kartli. At the request of King Bagrat, Timur sent twelve thousand troops with him to complete Georgia’s forcible conversion to Islam.

When they were approaching the village of Khunani in southeastern Georgia, Bagrat secretly informed his son Giorgi of everything that had happened and called upon him and his army to massacre the invaders.

The news of Bagrat’s betrayal and the ruin of his army infuriated Timur, and he called for immediate revenge. At their leader’s command, his followers destroyed everything in their path, set fire to cities and villages, devastated churches, and thus forced their way through to Kvabtakhevi Monastery.

Monastics and laymen alike were gathered in Kvabtakhevi when the enemy came thundering in. Having forced open the gate, the attackers burst into the monastery, then plundered and seized all its treasures. They captured the young and strong, carrying them away.

The old and infirm were put to the sword. As the greatest humiliation, they mocked the clergy and monastics by strapping them with sleigh bells and jumping and dancing around them.

Already drunk on the blood they had shed, the barbarians posed an ultimatum to those who remained: to renounce Christ and live or to be driven into the church and burned alive.

Faced with these terms, the faithful cried out: “Go ahead and burn our flesh—in the Heavenly Kingdom our souls will burn with a divine flame more radiant than the sun!” And in their exceeding humility, the martyrs requested that their martyrdom not be put on display: “We ask only that you not commit this sin before the eyes of men and angels. The Lord alone knows the sincerity of our will and comforts us in our righteous afflictions!”

Having been driven like beasts into the church, the martyrs raised up a final prayer to God:

In the multitude of Thy mercy shall I go into Thy house; I shall worship toward Thy holy temple in fear of Thee. O Lord, guide me in the way of Thy righteousness; because of mine enemies, make straight my way before Thee (Ps. 5:6-7) that with a pure mind I may glorify Thee forever....”

The executioners hauled in more and more wood, until the flames enveloping the church blazed as high as the heavens and the echo of crackling timber resounded through the mountains. Ensnared in a ring of fire, the blissful martyrs chanted psalms as they gave up their spirits to the Lord.

The massacre at Kvabtakhevi took place in 1386. The imprints of the martyrs’ charred bodies remain on the floor of the church to this day.

Leif Wenar on Blood Oil

Natural resources like oil and minerals are the largest source of unaccountable power in the world. Leif Wenar holds the Chair of Philosophy & Law at King’s College London. In his video interview he discusses petrocrats like Putin and the Saudis spend resource money on weapons and oppression; militants in Iraq and in the Congo spend resource money on radicalization and ammunition. Resource-fueled authoritarians and extremists present endless crises to the West – and the source of their resource power is ultimately ordinary consumers, doing their everyday shopping at the gas station and the mall.

The Rapture and the Second Coming, 2 Events or 1 ~ Compare & Contrast

Introduction  (Scheduled Release – 04/18/2018, but Why?)

Regarding the Second Coming, the inconsistencies concerning a single event are staggering, therefore, by necessity there must be two separate events, with the only answer being the Rapture as one, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ as the other.

One of the arguments of the opponents to the idea of the Rapture is that Jesus Christ comes to earth twice, not 3 times.

However, this ignores the fact that according to the Rapture point of view, Christ only comes to earth twice, once for His First Coming, in which He died for the sins of mankind, and the Second Coming to take possession of that which he died for the first time He came to earth as Jesus Christ.

Not 3 Visits, Only 2

Yet, between these two events, Jesus comes NOT to the earth, but “in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air,” in order that the Lord may receive those that are His own, the church as stated in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, which states:

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

There is no mention here of Jesus coming to the earth.  Only of those that are still alive being caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and be with Him forever more (which is to say that they will be with him wherever he is at)This says nothing about Jesus coming to the earth.

Jesus was ordained to come to the earth two times, referred to as the First and Second Coming.

The Rapture is where Christ comes in the clouds and does not touch the earth (1 Thess. 4:17), in His Second coming is where His feet touches upon the mount of all the Valley splits (Zec. 14:1-4).

In fact, it will be seven years after this that He returns to fulfill His role as the Captain of the Lord’s host  (Translated in the English: “Captain” is a Hebrew term unlike our American understanding. The Hebrew word here, sar means the highest leader. Which is the same term Jesus used when He met with Joshua and demanded worship [Joshua 5:14-15], and again using the same phrase from the burning bush with Moses concerning how the ground being holy because of His presence as God [Exodus 3:5].  No angel of the Lord accepts worship – except for one – and he sacrificed his place with God and became the prince of the power of the air until the day he shall be destroyed – his name was changed to Satan) to destroy the enemies of Israel, saving them; and starting His millennial reign on earth from Jerusalem.

Israel’s Blindness brings Salvation to the Gentiles

It is in considering the whole plan of God that salvation came from the Jew (John 4:22), yet the Jews refused their Messiah, and according to Romans 11:25 were temporarily placed in the penalty box, while God (who in His foreknowledge, God knew Israel would reject Christ) took the gospel to the whole world – the Gentiles, which is known as the church.

Romans 11:25 says:

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.”

The Greek word used here “fulness,” is a mathematical term meaning that when the last one, in this case when the last Gentile arrives, (The church is Gentile, a mix of Jew and everyone else) then the blindness of Israel will depart.

What this is saying is that when the last Gentile which makes up the church is saved,  then the church is complete; then the church will be rapture; and the eyes of Israel will be opened; with the fourth chapter of Revelation recording the events after this.

This explains why from the fourth chapter of Revelation on the idioms are Jewish, the terminology and the typology is Jewish as well.

It has been wisely said that in order to understand the book of Revelation you must know all of the Old Testament, because there are 800 allusions (allusions are indirect references, such as partial word combinations of a Scriptural passage which are known to the hearers.  An example would be if I were speaking to a Christian and said: “In the beginning God,” or “we are saved by grace,” they would know I was referring to Genesis 1:1 and Ephesians 2:8) to Old Testament passages found within the hundreds of verses of the book of Revelation.

As recorded in the book of Daniel, the church (which is a mystery that Paul speaks about in Eph. 3:2-10; 5;32; Col. 1:18-26), is a parentheses in time of God’s dealings with Israel, and when Israel’s blindness stops (Romans 11:25), with them regaining their sight concerning Jesus as their Savior and God, the clock starts up again.

Regarding Israel Seeking Jesus’ Return, Let’s consider the following Scriptures

Zechariah 12:8-10 says:

“In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”

Isaiah 52:6 says:

“Therefore my people shall know my name: [it is Jesus!] therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.”

Hosea 6:1 says:

“Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.”

Matthew 23:37-39, which states:

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”

(Who do you think is “that cometh in the name of the Lord” is – it is Jesus)

And Hosea 5:15, which says:

“I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.”

The Book of Daniel

Romans 11:25 is the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy concerning the 70 weeks of time dealing with Israel, wherein there is a week (7 years) pause (A parenthesis) between the 69th and 70th week which has lasted now 2000 years between the time of Jesus presenting Himself as the Messiah (the triumphal entry), and our current time.

This parenthesis has no prophecies concerning its length, yet we know that when the blindness of Israel stops, it is referred to as the “fullness of the Gentiles” as seen in Romans 11:25, which states:

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.”

The fulness of the Gentiles is is not to be confused with the “time of the Gentiles,” which will last until the gentiles no longer control Jerusalem as found in Luke 21:24.

Some may say that the  “time of the Gentiles,” is complete because of the 7 day war of 1967, when Israel again regained control of Jerusalem.

But the question becomes where is the temple then?  It does not exist because the Islamist control the temple mount where the mosque, the doom of the rock is located.  Also Israel does not have full control of Israel – the Palestinians have the Gaza Strip and West bank either.

The  “time of the Gentiles,” is the time is from when Nebuchadnezzar’s occupation began until the Second coming when Jesus conquers the Gentiles, and Jerusalem is fully controlled by Israel – The Gentiles are not in control!

The “fullness of the gentiles” is when the clock of God’s timepiece concerning Israel starts up again, the 70th week starting at this point, also referred as the Great Tribulation.

This 70th week, this 70th seven-year period which is commonly referred to as the tribulation which Jesus referred to in Matthew chapter 24: is a reference to Daniel’s prophecy is recorded in Daniel 9:24-27.

We must always remember that the church was a mystery hidden from the Old Testament believers according to Ephesians 1:9-13, and Ephesians 3:1-6.

The following would be examples of inconsistencies if there is no Rapture and only the Second Coming of Christ, and therefore by compare and contrast, there must be another event – the only choice is the Rapture of the church.

Rapture                                               Second Coming
Translation of believers                    No translation

Translated saints go to heaven       Translated Saints return to
.                                                                  earth

Earth is not judged                             Earth judged

Eminent – any moment                    Follows defined predicted signs

Sign-less                                               Signs

Not in the Old Testament                 Predicted in the Old Testament

Affects believers only                         Affects all men

Before the day of wrath                     Concludes the day of wrath

No reference to Satan                        Satan bound

Jesus comes for his own                   Jesus comes with his own

Jesus comes in the air                       Jesus comes to earth
(Clouds)                                                 (Mount of Olives)

Jesus comes to claim his bride        Jesus comes with his bride

Only His own see him*                     Every eye shall see him

Great tribulation begins                   Millennium begins

Church believers only                       Old Testament saved raised later

The following Scriptures display the differences between the Rapture & the Second Coming:

Handwriting – How your child can write more easily

The days of boring old handwriting drills are gone.

In the place of drills teachers give a series of short lessons on how to hold the pencil and correctly write letters and numbers, and then they correct students’ hand-grip and writing direction incidentally as they walk around the room. How your child holds their pencil and form their letters is still taught, but often not as consistently as in the past with the boring old drills, and so many children may not  practice  the correct grip enough to master it.

This has meant that many children and adults now find handwriting much more difficult and tiring because they are holding their pencil incorrectly and are writing some letters and numbers using the wrong direction. Watch children and young adults as they write, and notice their hand-grip. Many are gripping pens with more than the first finger and thumb. Sometimes they even use their whole fist as a toddler does. As a result their whole hand moves as they write letters instead of just their fingers.

Many also begin to form letters from the bottom up instead of from the top down, and clock-wise instead of anti clockwise. This also slows their writing down, and when they are younger, it makes it more difficult to remember how to form some letters. For example they often confuse the letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ because they form those letters in similar ways. The correct way to form the letter ‘b’ is to write the ‘b’ from the top down forming the stem, then up half-way and clockwise around forming the base (down, up, and around), whereas with the ‘d’ you begin half-way between the line and continue anti-clockwise to form the round base, then move up and down (around, up, and down).

Why do we need to help our child hold their pen or pencil correctly?

The pencil grip, or the way they hold a pen or pencil, will either help or hinder them when they write, both now and as adults. With the growth of i-pads and other devices in schools and workplaces, it might seem that being able to skillfully write by hand might become a thing of the past. Perhaps so. I hope not. There is research to show that handwriting facts helps us learn and remember
and will continue to be an important skill even as our children use more technology to communicate.

handwriting gripWhen your child holds the pen correctly they write faster and so much more easily!

The correct pencil-grip makes writing easier and faster. When we use the correct pencil grip we can write for longer periods of time smoothly and easily. If your child has difficulty holding the pencil correctly you can usually buy a pencil grip in stationary shops that slides onto the pencil and gives your child a larger surface to grip onto.

Follow these instructions for the correct hand grip:

teach your child how to hand write

The hand uses the thumb and 1st finger to hold firmly but not too tightly onto opposite sides of the pencil. Then the 2nd finger bends under the pencil to form a support so that the pen can sit balanced lightly and securely on that finger. This classical grip allows your fingers to move freely when writing instead of the whole hand. Instead, your hand is still and resting lightly on the paper as your fingers move the pencil around to write all or most of a word. Your hand only moves when it slides along between words or parts of words to help the fingers write freely.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.

Recently we experienced issues where the Umbraco.Config file was not being updated with published content - this had a knock on effect within the API calls we were making to create new nodes if they did not already exist.

I noticed that after republishing the umbraco.config file that nodes were not updating the data within it, nor when this file was deleted, it was not getting recreated.

First port of call was to look at the UmbracoLog table. This is the central error reporting mechanism for any Internal Umbraco errors.

Fire up SQL Management Studio and run the following query

SELECT * from [umbracoLog] where logComment like '%Error Republishing: System.Xml.XmlException%'

You should then get a list of records similar to the screenshot below (this one is filtered to show just one record)

Note that we have publishing errors due to invalid characters in the XML stream - this should never happen but unfortunately Umbraco does not sanitise the input data when creating the XML.

The actual error displayed is:

Error Republishing: System.Xml.XmlException: '', hexadecimal value 0x01, is an invalid character. Line 4, position 5. at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String[] args) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ThrowInvalidChar(Char[] data, Int32 length, Int32 invCharPos) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseCDataOrComment(XmlNodeType type, Int32& outStartPos, Int32& outEndPos) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseCDataOrComment(XmlNodeType type) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseElementContent() at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read() at System.Xml.XmlLoader.LoadNode(Boolean skipOverWhitespace) at System.Xml.XmlLoader.LoadDocSequence(XmlDocument parentDoc) at System.Xml.XmlLoader.Load(XmlDocument doc, XmlReader reader, Boolean preserveWhitespace) at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(XmlReader reader) at System.Xml.XmlDocument.LoadXml(String xml) at umbraco.content.LoadContentFromDatabase()

Now we know why the umbraco.config file is not being updated, we now need to track down the node(s) that are causing the errors and remove the dodgy characters!

Content XML in Umbraco is stored within the cmsContentXml table. So what we need to do is run a query against this table to find the rogue nodes.

Run the following SQL statement in Management Studio:

Where your dodgy character you are searching for is within the %% tags. You can get this from your original SQL results

You should then get a node or list of nodes that have the dodgy characters in. It's now a simple case of removing these characters and resaving the data back to the db.

How we did it using Notepad++;

Notepad++ is a great developer tool, if you don't already use it, download now, it's free and open source and just well great!

Ok what we did was to open up the rogue node in the Content area in Umbraco, in our case a node called Winter League and find the body text (most likely it's an RTF control that has saved the bad code).

We then viewed this source in HTML mode, selected it all, copied and pasted into Notepad++ where you can clearly see the SOH character:

Simply delete it, paste the code back into Umbraco and republish. Your umbraco.config file should now instantly be rebuilt.

On my development machine, the original file was 9meg, after this fix it was 74meg (large site!).

This has caused me so much pain in the last few days, especially with duplicate nodes being created via the API (Node uses published XML to see if it exists, was not in the published xml so duplicates were created) and performance issues at the front end.

It's looking like the character got into the RTF editor by the user pasting from another source i.e. pdf document. This is apparently a known issue in Umbraco, just wish that someone would sanitise the input when it's saved so this does not happen at all!
