Playing Nintendo's Wii found to enhance surgeons' skills
Blog Entry:
February 28, 2013 10:50 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Simbionix USA Corp.
played a role in an experiment that showed Nintendo's Wii gaming console improved the performance of surgeons learning operations involving tiny cameras and instruments.
The study suggests the Wii "could have a role to play in educating doctors," according to
this story
from Bloomberg.
"In a trial among 42 post-graduate surgeons in Italy, those who were asked to play Wii games such as Tennis and a 3D battle game an hour a day, five days a week for four weeks did better at 13 out of 16 measures on a surgical simulator than those who didn't play the games," the news service reports, summarizing the work of researchers from Sapienza University of Rome.
Trainee surgeons "commonly hone their keyhole surgery skills on computer simulators such as those made by" Simbionix, Bloomberg notes. However, "the expense of the machines, combined with the difficulty of a technique that involves maneuvering tiny operating tools through very small incisions, as well as increased risks of lawsuits, have raised the need for training outside the operating theater."
Bloomberg says the researchers used Simbionix's LAP Mentor simulator to test all 42 participants before and after the four-week trial. In one task that simulated moving a camera inside a patient, "those who had played the Wii were 83 percent more accurate after four weeks, compared with a 10 percent improvement in those who didn't play the Wii."
Ben Challacombe, a consultant urologist at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in London, tells Bloomberg that on the basis of the study he'd recommend his students spend time playing the Wii to refine their skills.
"We already knew that people who are good at video games are more easily trainable at laparoscopic keyhole surgery," he says. "What this has shown is that if you train using a computer game you get much better more quickly."
It's a small price to pay to improve surgeons' skills. Mr. Challacombe says his students use Simbionix's da Vinci simulator that sells for about $91,000. A Wii console sells for about $300.

That location has been home to

Business accelerator
Shaker LaunchHouse
says it's seeking "early stage, broad-based technology startups focused on technology, Internet, mobile and hardware/robotics" to apply for the LaunchHouse Accelerator (LHX) program.
Applications for the LHX 2013 program open March 8, with the program kicking off Aug. 12.
With the $200,000 ONEFund grant, LHX will invest in 10 tech companies consisting of two or more co-founders, to participate in the program, according to Shaker LaunchHouse. The startups are required to remain in Cleveland for the duration of the 12-week, boot camp-style accelerator program.
From its inception in 2008, LaunchHouse said it has invested in 40 companies that have raised more than $5.5 million in follow-on money. Since the conclusion of the inaugural LHX 2012 program, the companies have been able to create more than 20 jobs.
Interested companies can apply
Strategic thinkers:
Businessweek.com conducts
an exit interview
, of sorts, with departing SBA chief Karen Mills, and notes that a manufacturing hub in Youngstown is key to the Small Business Administration's agenda in President Barack Obama's second term.
Ms. Mills, a former venture capitalist who took over the agency in the midst of the financial crisis, says the agency increased loan support and offered greater hands-on outreach to small businesses.
"We see entrepreneurship and small businesses and supply chains as a critical part of the economic growth and competitiveness agenda," she says.
One example: The White House has embraced the idea of supporting clusters of businesses in the same industry, an idea Ms. Mills championed before taking office, the website reports. (The government now supports 56 such groupings.)
Supporting "place-based" strategies, such as the
National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute
, which President Obama highlighted recently in the State of the Union address, is a big part of the SBA's near-term strategy, according to Businessweek.com.

Self Respect Quotes and Sayings
Self respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
– Abraham Joshua Heschel
I'm not a backup plan, and definitely not a second choice.
What you think of yourself is much more important than what people think of you.
Never beg for a relationship. Be brave to accept the one who really wants to be with you and reject the one who just pretends to be with you.
Cutting people out of my life, does not mean I hate them, it simply means I respect me.
Respect Yourself.
If you don't, others won't either. Remember, the world sees what you put out there, so hold yourself to a high standard of grace and elegance.
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or make you happy.
Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
– Clint Eastwood
No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.
– Marilyn Monroe
When you say yes to others make sure you are not saying no to yourself.
Respect yourself enough not to accept disrespect from others.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.
It's always good to compromise only when, the other side understands your feelings. But, it's not good to bend so much that you loose your existence. :)
Look yourself in the mirror and wish you could date yourself!
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self- respect springs.
– Joan Didion
You should never be surprised when someone treats you with respect, you should expect it.
– Sarah Dessen
When you undervalue what you do, the world will undervalue who you are.
– Oprah Winfrey
Only make decisions that support your self- image, self- esteem, and self- worth.
– Oprah Winfrey
Do not compare yourself to others. If you do so, you are insulting yourself.
– Adolf Hitler
The way you give your name to others is a measure of how much you like and respect yourself.
– Brian Tracy
Respect yourself because you are the image of the lord, our God. Amen.
Self respect – is the greatest gift we can give to our self.
Respecting others – is the greatest gift we can give to our community.

Some days our jobs feel mundane. The work has become repetitive, our colleagues predictable, and our roles unchanging. Our don't-rock-the-boat boss gives us less and less room to be creative or engaged beyond our daily tasks.
When this happens, it's tempting to just put your nose to the grindstone, follow the job description to the letter, and lower your career expectations.
Deep down, you know this strategy isn't good for you.
It's your job, so work it.
Remember how important it was to get your job and the effort it took? Whether your job is one of a kind or one of many, it's a specific area of the business that's in your care. The way you perform matters.
If your job weren't important, the company wouldn't be willing to pay you for it. While your job description states the duties, you, personally, bring your standards, commitment, and honor to the work.
Recently, some terrible tragedies have been in the news. In the U.S., there was a devastating hurricane and an unfathomable mass shooting of elementary school children and their educators.
No first responder or school teacher has a job description that includes duties to perform when threats to human life fall upon him/her in enormous and unanticipated scale.
Most of us don't have to face life and death situations in our jobs. But there are situations that we won't/can't tolerate–circumstances that call us to action.
It might be:
- Bullying, bias, or discrimination of coworkers
- Business decisions based on faulty or incomplete information
- Product defects, known or suspected
- Unsafe equipment or procedures
- A sudden calamity in your work area, a stricken coworker, or destructive weather
When we're faced with such situations, we discover how invested we are in our jobs based on the actions we take.
7 intervening actions
Owning our jobs in a crisis is not about being a hero or heroine. It's about responding in ways that align our strengths and capabilities with needs.
The teacher who steps in front of a gunman to protect her students and the first responder who wades through waist-deep water to save a life follow an inner drive compatible with the calling that drew them to their jobs.
We have a calling too. You may know today how far you would go to intervene in a crisis while others of us may not know until we're in that crisis moment.
Here are 7 actions to consider. One or more may be what you'd be prepared to do:
- Step forward–Take charge; lead others; put fear aside and do what you believe is right
- Buy time–Deflect incoming negatives; implement stop-gap measures; negotiate options
- Steady the ship–Follow established procedures/protocols; create stability through regimen; reduce panic by reliance on routine
- Provide comfort–Keep a cool head; settle others using calm counsel; meet the emotional and physical needs of others; rally optimism
- Gather forces–Foster collaboration; collect and share input needed for decision-making; engage others able to help; create community
- Test solutions–Pilot test potential remedies; get feedback; fine-tune the fixes; build on successes; capture lessons learned
- Communicate relentlessly–Develop and deliver credible messages; keep everyone in the loop; listen and address questions/concerns; reduce the stress of not knowing
I've always felt like I owned the responsibilities stated or unstated in my jobs. If I saw a workplace injustice, I spoke up and then tried to do something about it. When people were upset about major workplace changes, I offered perspectives that would help ease the worry.
We all have some kind of help to offer in a crisis.
Embrace the moment
All crises are not created equal. No matter how big or small, when things go wrong, those affected are off-balance, fearful, uncertain, and even confused. That's probably you too. But you have a chance to embrace the situation in your own way, using your skills and instincts to help fix things.
Please take a moment to think about your job and your investment it. What do you think you'd do in a crisis? I suspect it will be something very good.

Version 35 (modified by simonpj, 4 years ago) (diff) |
Plan for the December 2010 Release (moved to early 2011)
To be released components
220.127.116.11 - DPH packages
- Repa packages
(No release of vector should be necessary, as 0.7.0.1 should work fine.)
Before the release we must achieve the following
- Haddock documentation of Data.Array.Parallel [MANUEL]
- Replace -XPArr by -XParallelArrays in the Users Guide, also add -fvectorise
- HowTo and examples on HaWiki http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Data_Parallel_Haskell [DONE]
API adaptation: APIs of vector, Repa, and Accelerate should be unified as far as possible
- Repa's current 'replicate' should be renamed and a new 'replicate' that turns a scalar into an array should be introduced ???
- Check similarity of singleton/unit between all three libraries ???
- -fdph-par should be the default (and sensible error message if the dph package is not available) (still needs to be passed explicitly) [DONE]
- -Odph should be equivalent to '-O2 -fsimplifier-phases=3 -fsimplifier-iterations=20' [DONE]
- Move GHC.PArr into the DPH libs. (Needed for Haddock.) [MANUEL]
- Find out if we still need the NoSpecConstr annotation and remove it if not [ROMAN]
Bug fixes:
- Vectoriser needs to be adapted to Simon's recursive superclasses patch; partially done, but recursive data types don't work yet [ROMAN]
- The combination '-fvectorise -O0' should work [ROMAN]
- Trying to vectorise the DotP example from the tutorial on the Haskell Wiki, -fdph-seq fails with (-fdph-par works fine)
*** Vectorisation error *** Tycon not vectorised: Data.Array.Parallel.Lifted.PArray.PArray
- LLVM back end only partially working with DPH (held up due to LLVM backend problems in the HEAD #4838); only affects BarnesHut [BEN]
- Repa edge-detection is deadlocking with more than 2 threads [DONE]
- Fix the BH seg fault in DPH. Roman has found the problem [DONE]
Performance goals:
- Vector works fast, sequentially, compared to C, Haskell mutable-array version [FINE]
- Benchmarks: NoSlow, vector versions of Repa benchmarks
- Repa works fast in parallel
- MMult [OK, but about 20% slower than in 6.13; try with LLVM and w/o bounds checks] [BEN]
- Laplace (new stencil implementation) [BEN]
- Blur [OK]
- EdgeDetect [OK]
- Statically-nested DPH programs should work fast, in parallel
- SumSquares [FINE]
- Dot product [FINE]
- Evens [OK (but more than 3 times slower than C; any improvement since #4830 was fixed?)]
- rl reckons this is due to GHC compiling modulo of powers of two inefficiently; c.f., #3065 (in packByTags)
- SMVM (blocked on optimisation of lifted indexing) [BROKEN] [BEN & ROMAN] Roman is thinking about this over Xmas.
- Dynamically-nested DPH programs without user-defined datatypes should run correctly and scale, but absolute performance may be lacking
- Quicksort [BROKEN (SpecConstr loop when using -dph-seq) & SLOW] [SIMON & BEN]
- Quickhull [OK, but has a SpecConstr problem that we want to fix; pair not being inlined] (should be fixed now, needs to be checked) [ROMAN]
- Probably affected by the same optimisation issue with the compilation of modulo operations as Evens
- #4830: this fix wasn't sufficient, still doesn't optimise properly [ROMAN]
- Dynamically-nested DPH programs with user-defined datatypes should run correctly, but not necessarily fast
- Words [BROKEN (SpecConstr loop again, when using -dph-seq; same as Quicksort)] [ROMAN & SIMON]
- BarnesHut. [ROMAN]
- Works well
- Fine for the release, but could be better
- Not usable

I've been involved in one aspect or another of the adventure games hobby for the past twenty-five years. Started playing in 1987. (First game? Champions, followed by CyberSpace, the Iron Crown cyberpunk game for Space Master, their sci-fi Rolemaster spin-off.) Was hired by InQuest Magazine in 1996, where I started my editorial career. Since then, I've done work for Green Ronin, Malhavoc Press, Dream Pod 9, and White Wolf. I managed two different game stores in the metro Boston area in the 2000s, and am now working primarily freelance. Still gaming after all these years.
I have a weakness for good coffee and bad puns.

Everyone should understand (specially Spain, that seems to stubbornly refuse to) that there's a strong Catalan identity. A whole culture and language that creates a big identity system, and this is now and has been for 300 years, the main force behind the pro independent movement.
It's not about practical reasons, it's not about the economy and the fact that Spanish central system is extremely unfair and always mistreated Catalonia. This are just add ons.
It's about feelings. For many catalans, to have been forced to have a Spanish flag printed on their id cards and passports, it's extremely unpleasant and not according to how they feel.
A thoroughly misleading statement.
Sure, the catalans have a strong sense of identity, as do those who live in many regions, especially those that have their own language or dialect.
There has always been small minority of catalans who have wanted to secede from Spain, but it is only in the last very few years that this has grown, basically starting with Aznar.
Economically, Catalonia has ALWAYS benefitted from the rest of Spain, due to it's mercantile, industrial and financial sofistication. This has sucked in investment and migrant workers not just from the rest of Spain but from all over the world. Those migrant workers, mainly spanish, many now retired are not going to allow themselves to be forced out of their adopted homeland.
The spanish system is just about the LEAST centralized in Europe, and the Catalan government has almost unlimited powers to raise capital and decide on it's spending priorities (In my opinion far too much gets misspent on 'nationalistic' objectives).
It seems you forget that the latest regional finance bill (LOFCA) was so generous to Catalonia that even the secessionist party ERC voted FOR the law.
It seems that you allow your aversion to the spanish flag to blind you to reality. Such a shame. From watching the world cup and european cups celebrations here in Barcelona it would appear that few feel as you do!
'Catalonia has ALWAYS benefited from the rest of Spain'
Have you seen the numbers? The ones Spanish government has refused to publish for decades?
It's not only that Catalonia pays way more taxes, (which to a certain point its okay and Catalonia always accepted it: It's a redistribution system, richer pay more, poorer pay less.)
But the difference of the investments in infrastructures and services across the country it's outrageous.
It's so unbalanced that in the end, if you account all Catalonia pays additionally on private services and infrastructures because central government just doesn't do it, the deficit is huge. Probably bigger than anything else seen across Europe.
(Drive around Catalonia for a while, and tell me if it's not exhausting to be paying expensive tolls every few kilometers. While you already payed more taxes)
As of the sense of identity, last elections are clear. A big majority voted for independence.
All international media saw that. Except, once again, Spanish media which said loudly that it was a disaster for the pro independent movement.
Just need to check the numbers:
PRO INDEPENDENCE - 57,75% of votes and 60,66% of seats.
AGAINST INDEPENDENCE - 42,24% of votes and 39,34% of seats.
But hey, it's been a disaster for Catalonia. Sure.
If it were up to me, Catalonia would be expelled from Spain. Catalans are always voicing their grievances but they don't but themselves on the shoes of the other 38 million people who live in Spain who have seen their country politics and agenda hijacked by Basque and Catalan nationalists after Franco's death. The egoism of these nationalist forces is limitless. They would only relent if they managed to submit the rest of Spain to their will. So I think it's about time that the rest of Spain tells Basques and Catalans to go to hell. It's a union that benefits nobody (certainly non Basques and non Catalans). The rest of Spain hates Catalonia and Basques as much as Basques and Catalans hate Spain. Time to call it quits.
On my part I wouldn't say hate. Spain it's a fine country. Good food and people is nice.
But I just don't feel part of it and don't want to be forced to be part of it.
But yeah, cool we agree on separating one from the other.
I think that there have been several opinion polls published on the matter that the rest of Spain is OK with the independence of Catalonia. I also agree that the Spanish press is deluded. The polls last Sunday showed a clear pro independence result (the disagreement is on the "how" not on the "if") just as in the Basque case, a great majority of Basques are pro independence.
As for the rest of Spain, I can tell you that they truly hate both Basques and Catalans. Hate is a very strong word that shouldn't be used lightly but I use it in the sense that they are fed up that the front page of their newspapers have been filled with Catalan/Basque stuff for the last 35 years, as if the rest of Spain and their issues didn't matter. In pure economic terms, Spain would lose 20% of its GDP, but it would also lose 20% of the spending. The widely quoted study about regional imbalances puts the number at 14 billion euros as to what Spain gets from Catalonia in net terms. Spain's GDP is 1 trillion euros (800 billion without Catalonia) so is not really that much of a big deal.
As always, politicians are not aligned with the people's will. Spain wants to expel Catalonia and the Basque Country but the powers that be, fearing a diminished influence, don't.
Agree. Short of changing the constitution, this is what Spain will do, anyway

ThinkFirst: Injury Prevention for Kids
Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital, the home of the Santa Barbara County Chapter of ThinkFirst for Kids and Teens, has presented the ThinkFirst for Kids and Teens injury prevention program to approximately 10,000 students since 1993. CRH offers the program as community outreach at no cost.
Healthcare professionals who treat patients with traumatic injuries have developed and implemented "ThinkFirst" over the last 20 years in an attempt to prevent young people from sustaining brain and spinal cord injuries.
Young people take risks and, consequently, disproportionately sustain brain and spinal cord injuries. Four common causes of brain and spinal cord injuries are:
Think First for Kids and Teens educates elementary and secondary school students to think first, to use good judgment to minimize risk of injury, as they play, explore, and choose activities.
During one-hour presentations, healthcare professionals explain the anatomy and the vulnerability of the brain and spinal cord, the risks and consequences of brain and spinal cord injury, and simple injury prevention strategies. Accompanying the healthcare professionals are "VIPs" (Voice for Injury Prevention), individuals who have sustained brain or spinal cord injuries themselves, who share their experiences and discuss the physical, social, and emotional effects of their injuries. The simple message they urge their young listeners to take home is that it is possible to have a fun-filled, exciting life, without hurting yourself if you think first and use your mind to protect your body.
Last year, the Orfalea Fund, through a generous grant, made it possible for team members from Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital and Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation to meet with Brian Sarvis Ed.D., Superintendent of Santa Barbara School District, and his staff to propose implementation of the "ThinkFirst" Program in the district. As a result, the program will offer 30 "Think First" assemblies and classroom presentations in the elementary and junior high schools in the Santa Barbara School District during calendar year 2008.
For more information about "Think First", please contact Denise Dowd, OT, at Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital 687-7444 ext. 82311 or email@example.com.

The Story
Modern and restrained in form, expressive and rustic in glaze. The artisan's hand is authentically reproduced in this stoneware pattern designed exclusively for Crate and Barrel by ceramic artist and designer Kathy Erteman at her 18th Street studio in New York City. A contemporary matte black exterior contrasts the rustic beauty of a shiny, speckled white glazed interior ringed with the subtly raised spiral associated with hand-thrown pieces. A raised clay rim features a sandy glaze that evokes the feel of exposed terra cotta. To capture the artisan look of this dinnerware, Erteman modeled prototypes to true scale by hand with her original glazes as reference for production. In the words of the designer, "When making tableware, I consider design and the rigors of daily use. The spirit of my hand in these pieces is modest, to harmonize with and act as a support to the prepared ingredients."

I've worn Poison for decades. I have tried several other scents, but I always come back. It's sweet with a sexy undertone.
Written by Edie T on September 09, 2014
Read Review details ►Great classic oriental. This one has been a go to evening out fragrance for women for years.
Written by rickyrebarco on March 10, 2014
Read Review details ►Purchased Poison by Christian Dior. A great scent that is sensual , spicy and sweet all at the same time. Have looked all over my area for this scent because I have purchased it previously and could not find it in any of the stores in my area. I was very happy to find it on line at a great price.
Written by Jackie on February 13, 2014
Read Review details ►It is the only perfume that stays on me and every body will ask what it is even shop assistants. I keep it for best and use Chloe for everyday I use.
Written by Chiara on December 10, 2013
Read Review details ►Undoubtedly the best perfume I have ever worn. It goes with anything, anywhere and anytime. My son grew up with me wearing it almost daily. So, as it happens to be my daughter in law's favorite as well, my son tells her it smells like an old lady's perfume and doesn't like her to wear it. This makes sense in a funny sort of way. So I buy her Ja Dore'.

Men Especially Need To Know Their Best Colors And Accessories
Women talk with each other and share anything new and exciting that they've found. Women tend to shop with their friends and discuss and critique everything. Men tend to go it alone. Just think about it. You go to meet your best friends at the local bar and watch your favorite team. Which of your friends is most likely to say, "Hey, Bro! Love that new polo shirt! You look great in that color!" Exactly! Men just buy dress clothes and casual clothes with abandon.

Last month, the island of Puerto Rico hosted an historic event for the Special Olympics movement – the 2010 Special Olympics Latin America Regional Games. Uniting more than 1,000 athletes from 33 nations through Latin America and the Caribbean, these Games marketed the beginning of a legacy for the region.
Sports brought hope to the athletes from areas recently devastated by natural disaster. Click picture to see photos
Starting weeks before the Opening Ceremony a Torch Run took place throughout the entire island to excite the residents of Puerto Rico to welcome the many athletes from around the world. Champion by San Juan Mayor Jorge Santini, who participated every day, the Torch Run lit the way to what promised to be a week of inspiration.
Opening Ceremonies were televised live before a packed stadium of "fans" for a 3-hour celebration which feature renowned performers of Puerto Rico, a moving speech by Chairman of Special Olympics Tim Shriver and a rising address by Global Messenger Ariel Ary from Costa Rica. The Fans cheered non-stop from Parade of Athletes through the emotional lighting of the cauldron. Representatives from all municipalities in which the Flame of Hope visited during the Torch Run where there to help declare the Games open.
Competition in 11 sports were held throughout the week and were amazingly executed in spectacular venues. On the last day of competition, 28 athletes from 6 nations braved heavy rain and strong winds to compete in the first -ever triathlon event --- a grueling test of strength and endurance that challenged our athletes in a combined swimming, cycling and running event. This culminating event of the Games bore witness to the limitless opportunities awaiting persons with intellectual disabilities who join our movement. The triathlon event was made possible by the vision of Special Olympics athletes and employee Kester Edwards who helped establish and organize the event.
Football (soccer) was the sport of focus for the Games. CONMEBOL President Dr. Nicolas Leoz announced that Paraguay is ready to host the next Special Olympics COPA AMERICA Football Tournament, that CONMEBOL will help to bring CONCACAF on board with our Global Football initiative and that he will be encouraging all Football Federations to support Special Olympics football. Football Ambassadors Teofilo Cubillas, Alex Aguinaga and Enrique Borja were all present and Football Directors from 9 Caribbean nations were trained and certified by FIFA and Special Olympics officials, as part of the Global Football initiative.
The athletes became Healthy Athletes after participating in the screening program throughout the week. Health Athletes Clinical Directors from Puerto Rico and 8 other Latin American Programs were trained during the HA screenings, giving a boost to the HA initiative across the region. Lions International President Al Brandel agreed to work with Special Olympics Puerto Rico and Special Olympics Brasil on establishing Special Olympics Lions Clubs as a model for the rest of the region.
More than 800 hundred high school students took the pledge to "Spread the Word to End the Word" during the Youth Rally that was held during the Games and the Secretary of Education declared her commitment to take this message to all schools throughout Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico, specifically the city of San Juan, was so moved by hosting these Games that during Closing Ceremonies, Mayor Santini announced that he is renaming one of San Juan's main avenues "Special Olympics Boulevard" and unveiled his plans to build a regional sports training center for Special Olympics as a tribute to Mrs. Shriver and the movement.

You missed all of the many postmillenialists who picked Christ's return as 1865, hundreds of years in advance.
To be right about Doomsday will certainly be a Pyrrhic victory.
Death itself brings doomsday in every living beings life. There was definitely a beginning of times and there will be an ''end of times'' but when nobody knows for sure, meantime, let the soothsayers do their jugglery.
( you forgot the doomsday machine )-: 2015
Infact, they are all correct & all wrong too. The world is continually ending & bginning all the time. It's just that individual perceptions differ..
In my lifetime there has been an accelerating decline of moral society as evidenced by shameless corruption in government (consider the effect of NRA political contributions), impotence of polititians (why were you silent about banning assault weapons Mr Obama when you controlled the 3 arms of government?) and the pure evil of the mass murder in Connecticut etc.
Yes the end of the world will come, probably crafted by Pakistani or Iranian nuclear engineers. However the world does need politicians or a new program.
On Christmas my hope for change will lay in my knowledge that this wold needs a savior. While the editors ( and some readers) may find this quaint, I find it fascinating that when unthinkable, terrible things happen that even the cynical media reference prayer. I will pray for the restoration of peace, Good and Justice in the new year.
AND WHO IS THE FRENZIED GUY TO PREDICT THE 'Apacalipso'....2 hell with the Guy.....Anyhow come what May We shall Bear...not like these 'stupid few', who blindly and Stupidly Believe.....
Guess if Jehova's witnesses will be proven wrong one more time they will be the ones to build a doomsday device themselves. Just to prove a point.
I will join the army of doomsday prophets with an absolute certainty:
The world will end on the day Daily Charts fails to publish a chart.
What about the prophesies recorded in Matthew 16,28, in Mark 9.1, and in Luke 9,27 and 21,32?
Jehova's Witnesses never speaked over the end in 2000.
In fact, they did, and were very specific about it.
Their book, "The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah - How?" published in 1971, said the following on page 216: "Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom." Anyone familiar with JW teaching understands the "battle of the day of Jehovah" to refer to the Great Tribulation which is supposed to end the present world system.
Also, the Watchtower magazine of January 1, 1989, said on page 12 of the magazine version (the text was subsequently changed when the annual bound volume was issued and on the later CD-ROM editions): "The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century." The 20th century is over, but JWs are still knocking on doors.
Everyday is a Doomsday.The appointed time of the end of the world is another thing beyond comprehension of human beings.
Allah has said in the holy book (Quran): They ask you about the Hour (Day of Resurrection): "When will be its appointed time?" Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (Alone). None can reveal its time but He. Heavy is its burden through the heavens and the earth. It shall not come upon you except all of a sudden." They ask you as if you have a good knowledge of it. Say: "The knowledge thereof is with Allah(Alone), but most of mankind know not." Part 9,Chapter 7, Ayat:187
...and I prefer caramel ice cream, no milk in my coffee...
Forgetting the fundamentals,that nothing will destroyed nor created, only recylingis on. Can any body stop breathing,whichis a continuous recycle,whichisinterdependantwith nature,that growthe food.I*s it possibleprepare meterial,with out universal five matters.
ya .. you need a new keyboard !!!
Forget about the loons, but Martin Luther and Isaac Newton attempted to predict the end of the world? I love how TE surprises me with something new every day, good work guys!
PS there is an old saying, "if you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans for the future".
And an older quote still, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" - Matt 24:36 (KJV)
Luther and Newton WERE loons. Except that Newton was good at math so at least he managed to contribute something...
Newton was clearly a genius (most IQ measures use Newton as their highest reference point, above Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Plato etc). He was not a loon, although geniuses do tend to be socially unusual.
As for Luther, he is one of the most important men of the last 500 years, perhaps more so than Newton. He smashed the monopoly of Rome, freeing minds all over the world. You do know priests, bishops and cardinals conned society, when the Bible was in Latin and no common man could speak Latin? They just made up whatever was convenient and profitable for rulers of the time and the Catholic church. This was the basis of one of Luther's theses which he pinned to that door. If a loon is someone who risks his own life and everyone he cares about for the greater good of all mankind, yes, then Luther was a loon.
A stooped clock is right twice a day...
Nothings gonna happen tonight though kids, relax.
But it will happen, and soon; within the next few decades, trust me.
Western civilization is based on fear so phobia of doomsday constantly looming in psyche of white people. Whenever rumor spread about last day of collapse world,people of western countries start to afraid and ready to take extreme step,chaos created all over and people behave irrationally
Just WHITE people? Seriously? Would it be racist of me to say all non-white BROWN non-Western cultures just live their lives as if world will go on endlessly without change as it always has? Yes, That would be racist! And I don't believe that anyway, but your comment IS racist, or at least colorist? Western culture is not just white anymore, it has and is incorporating all peoples & colors. What have non-white-non-western cultures done to promote acceptance and integration? There might be some efforts and I applaud it if there are any.
Yes, the Norman Conquest of the Anglos produced the 1st "Doomsday Book", but IF non-white-Anglo-Saxon-Norman-non-western people believe nothing can be done advert a Doomsday, nothing can be done to change a potentially bad future, or if there is no sense preparing for a world changing or end of world event, those people live with the ignorant belief of "fatalism" (I know you knew that word already) and that most of the non-western (Oops! I mean non-modern) world IS fatalistic.
You see there is not exactly a western view anymore, we've (the West) have moved on and you should too, to a Modern View that is more inclusive (non-racist) not exclusive, more open and hopefully tolerant of religious views as long as those religious views don't believe in killing each other. All peoples can be irrational. The so called "Western cultures", yes with all the misdeeds and mistakes of the past, have done more than Eastern, Southern? Northern? or Middle? to move the planet to a better place.
So there now, you can't use the term White or Western in a derogative way anymore. Besides Russell Peters says there are not going to be any white people in 300 years anyway, so stop picking on them.
Is is irrational to look forward? What about regular humans? Kingdoms & Governments never collapse? Dictators & Commu-socialists never commit genocide (500,000,000 so far)? Money never looses value. Tsunamis and earthquakes are nothing to worry about ever?
My favorite: There are no near earth orbiting objects?
Oh wait there are "Near Earth Orbiting Objects" that could take us, the whole world, out?
The End of the World IS a real possibility and a NEO could end it all for all us. Would they (.gov) tell us before one hit? Naw, they would NOT tell us or they'd say "there's nothing to worry about". Can't change it anyway? Right? Then there we go again, you're a "Fatalist". Why worry? Just go on as you have for thousands of years with caste systems, racism, slavery, dictators, no warning of natural disasters, and no Hope of avoiding or preventing an End of the World. At least some have a healthy looming phobia with Hope.
It's not really the end of the entire world ending of power dominance. There will be winners and losers. Think end of the "Reigns, Kingdoms, and Empires" Throughout history. New societies do prevail the people aren't entirely decimated but are redistributed. Just as in nature there is a recycling process of environment so to does economic structures and political structures garner through change. Some changes are rapid other slow. This is just another cycle process it happens for various reasons the key aspect for individuals to be flexible and not afraid to progress or move.
Key examples of cycle process economic as either resources or other economic features dry up (hint ghost mining towns in midwest or ancient ruins of forgotten civilizations) so too these individuals just moved on in time generations later it becomes lost knowledge of places that ended. Many times wars and re-division of lands and re-identifications occur. Inner cities fail and are rebuilt or recycled from previous appearances. When Rome burned just after Christ under Nero many assumed it was the end of the world the same for the great earthquake of San Francisco. Yet, through the chaos people survived and rebuilt. This too is going on at a higher power level in fact most assume there will be a shift in power and dominance in the global field. I fully expect a change in via nations such as China has seen progressive change in 40 years and the U.S. economically after world war II shortly after the great depression. Some changes will favor some others won't it's a focal point of were the cycle the wheel of fate revolves but remember it never truly stops. Sometimes its revolutions are slow other times it speeds along - like watching a roulette wheel - where the ball rests can change hands how person walks away differently.
There will be an end-day for all of us, no exception. I am sure many have died on December 21st 2012.
well at least 30 will be shot to death in the US on the 21st, and another 30 on the 22nd etc.
The diagram shows Nostradamus' prediction stretching off beyond 2250.
However, it can't be that far off as we're on the second last pope (acoording to Nostradamus), and the current pope's in his 80s already.
The predictions about the Popes are attributed to Malachy, not Nostradamus.
As most of the pre-1590 pope references are easily tied to the pope through his name or place of birth or where he was cardinal, but most of the later ones have more tenuous links, the current thinking is that it was written around the time it was published (in 1595), rather than by Saint Malachy in 1139, but attributing it to Malachy allowed the writer to distance himself from predicting the end of the church, and allowed 450 years of accurate "predictions" as a starting point.
Admittedly that doesn't necessarily mean it's Nostradamus, but it's the right timeframe.
Anyway, the current Pope Benedict should be happier with the prediction that is more readily identified as Nostradamus, that a very old Pope (Ratzinger was the oldest ever appointee), will have a long reign.
are you sure it is not malarkey?
