ESCHATOLOGY Jirair Tashjian: The Second Coming "When writers and preachers make such a big fuss about the Second Coming and the end of the world, they are forgetting something much more important. They are in effect minimizing the First Coming. In a real sense the world ended some two thousand years ago in Jesus. Something decisive happened for humanity and for our relationship with God in the life, death and resurrection of Christ." [The destruction of the veil proves de jure fulfillment] // "For Christ has appeared, and in him the shadows have given way to the perfect and abiding reality." |
"The truth is, if the different comings of Christ are distinguished, as they ought to be, we shall find, that the apostles have spoken of each of them according to truth ; and that the opinion which infidels are so eager in maintaining, and which some Christians have unadvisedly espoused, to the great discredit of the inspiration of the apostles, as if they believed the day of judgment was to happen in their lifetime, hath not the least foundation in Scripture."

Moses Stuart: A Commentary on the Book of Daniel (1850) "Now in what part of the Roman invasion did all this happen ? When did they suspend the temple services ? And where shall we find the three and a half years of suspension ? And above all, where, after the suspension, are we to find the restoration of the temple-services ? for this is implied in Daniel. The Roman suspension remains from that day to this. Last, but not least, the desolator in this case is given over to a decreed destruction, to take place soon after the three and a half years were ended. Was this true, now, of either Vespasian or Titus ? Not at all. Both died a natural death, and in peaceful circumstances, Vespasian A. D. 79 and Titus in 82. Both were greatly beloved and honored as princes. What resemblance did either of them bear to the abhorred tyrant in Dan. 9: 26, 27? The answer then to that exegesis which makes the Roman power to be the fourth dynasty in Daniel, is, that history contradicts such an application of his predictions. That fourth power is of Greek origin; its sphere of action is oriental ground ; its acts are consummated in Epiphanes, (so far as prophecy has any concern with it) ; and the leading tyrant of that dynasty is the enemy and blasphemer of God, and is cut down in the midst of his career by divine vengeance, shortly after the temple desolations were completed. Which of all these things now is applicable either to Vespasian or to Titus ? And above all, what are we to do with the suspension of temple services for three and a half years, and for this period only ? But enough. It is impossible to carry through the views of Hengstenberg and Havernick, in relation to Dan. 9: 25�27, and make them comport either with history or with the design of the prophet. Events that precede the Messianic kingdom are the objects of Daniel's vision. Through and through he tells us, that the new and perpetual kingdom, i. e. the fifth dynasty, is built upon the complete destruction of the other four dynasties. Was the Roman power destroyed then, when the Messiah's kingdom began ? This simple question brings the whole matter to a conclusion. I see no way of making out a prophecy of Roman invasion in Daniel, unless we force a double sense upon the passage in question; a thing which neither Hengstenberg nor Havernick admitted to be done, when their books were written. And indeed it cannot be done without great violence. " 12/28/9:

DOES NOT MEAN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD. Comment by Crown Prince Titus on the Capture of Jerusalem Emperor Titus Vespasianus - Flavius Philostratus II (c.170-244/249): The Life of Apollonius - Chapters 29-34 (Commissioned prior to 217) focus on Apollonius' contacts with Vespasian's son and crown prince Titus. Apollonius writes a letter of eulogy of Titus for having refused to be crowned after the fall of Jerusalem (6.29) : " After Titus had taken Jerusalem, and when the country all round was filled with corpses, the neighboring races offered him a crown; but he disclaimed any such honor to himself, saying that it was not himself that had accomplished this exploit, but that he had merely lent his arms to God, who had so manifested his wrath; and Apollonius praised his action, for therein he displayed a great deal of judgment and understanding of things human and divine, and it showed great moderation on his part that he refused to be crowned because he had shed blood. Accordingly Apollonius indited to him a letter which he sent by the hands of Damis and of which the text was as follows..." Apollonius sends greetings to Titus the Roman general. Now Titus was overjoyed with this epistle, and replied: 11/21/9:

Martin Goodman "The destruction of
Jerusalem in 70 was the product of no long-term policy on either side.
It had come about through a combination of accidents, most of them
unrelated in origin to the conflict: the death of Nero, leading to
Vespasian�s bid for power in Rome and Titus� quest for the propaganda
coup of a rapid conquest of Jerusalem, and the devastating effect in the
summer heat of a firebrand thrown by a soldier into the Temple of God."

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM GERMANY. "August: 1800.�On the morning before Eatisbonne was taken, a grand and solemn ceremony was performed in the cathedral, of which the band and organ are reckoned the best in Germany. At one passage of the Latin service, the fears of the inhabitants of a siege and bombardment seemed to be expressed in the words, ' Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou shalt be made desolate!' The prophecy was chanted by a shrill single voice, like one from the dead, at the further end of the long echoing cathedral. A dreadfully sublime pause succeeded, and then the whole thunder of the organ, drums, and trumpets, broke in. I never thought terrific music could have reached so high. Two hours after an alarm was given, and the Hungarian infantry were called out to support their defeated countrymen. This music, though less sacred, was also perfect in its kind. Its effect was heightened by the sound of artillery coming nearer and nearer, and the flash of carbines from the neighbouring wood, where they were skirmishing in small parties. The sight of men and horses passing, gave a serious aspect to the scene, and convinced the spectator that he was not hearing the drums of a holiday parade." (Diary of a Lady of Quality, pp. 26,27) William Revell Moody (1900) "In Christ Came Again Dr. Urmy labors with zeal and diligence to establish the old theory, discredited by every evangelical creed, every catholic creed, and every generally acknowledged exegete of Christendom, that Christ came before the close of the apostolic age in a sense which completely fulfilled all predictions concerning His parousia and apokalupsis. His utter variance, not only from the pre-millennial bat also from the post-millennial view of the second advent, is fully confessed by himself. He says: "The system of eschatology which this work presents requires that certain changes be made not only in the current thought of the day concerning the second coming of Christ, but in creeds, articles of faith, rituals, and hymns, where they refer to this and kindred eschatological subjects." We wish Dr. Urmy joy of this task!" (Record of Christian work, Volume 19, p. 381) 9/1/9:

This group was called the "Oneida Community" (search wikipedia.org). This group formed a commune & practiced their hyperpreterism to the extent of no longer having individual marriages but instead everyone having sexual relations with everyone else -- they thought this would be a "logical" conclusion if the resurrection is already passed & people are no longer given in marriage.

For Garret per Q/A on how AD70 is only
a shadow to Jesus: The Eschaton separating the old heavens and earth from the new is passable only through the Door, Jesus Christ. This idea is expressed by Paul's declaration that "if any be in Christ they are a new creation.. all things become new" (II Cor. 5:17) Crossing a historical mark is not sufficient to leave the elements behind and enter into the Messianic Age. One must be "found worthy" to enter (Lk. 20:35). Conversely, those not in the sheepfold are still weak children and are slaves to Pharaoh, the King of Sin (Egypt). Once Preterism is replaced with Idealism in Leithart's quote he perfectly describes this biblical worldview. As an example, removing the 'd' at the end of the word exercise in his final sentence reveals: "But this means, of course, that the elements exercise some genuine power prior to the missions of the Son and Spirit." (This covenant blessing is only available for those of the Covenant. I believe that making the fulfillment of these things universal among all mankind is one of the pathways into heresy naturally built into HyP; Futurism would probably do the same with its eschaton, but it benefits from this being yet future, allowing that body to maintain the posture of "earnest expectation" seen (without fail, except for perhaps Theophany) throughout Christian history ; HyP does not allow this posture of faith, sense of nearness, nor earnest expectation for the blessed hope.) Now try replacing 'sent' with 'sends': "God sent His Son and then His Spirit to redeem from the stoicheia and elevate us to sons (4:4-6)" - call me anytime. TD

It is clear that one of the key components of the Abrahamic covenant is the promise of the "Land of Israel" in perpetuity!" (Biblical Connection) N.T. Wright "The church expected certain events to happen within a generation, and happen they did, though there must have been moments between AD30 and AD70 when some wondered if they would, and in consequence took up the Jewish language of delay. Jerusalem fell; the good news of Jesus, and the kingdom of Israel�s god was announced in Rome, as well as in Jerusalem and Athens. But there is no sign of dismay, in any literature that has come down to us from the periord after AD70, at the fact that Jesus himself had still not returned. Clement looks forward to the return of Jesus himself without any comment on timing. Ignatius is worried about many things but not that. Justin Martyr in the middle of the second century is as emphatic as anyone that the event will happen." (New Testament and People of God, pg. 463) Rabbi Ari Enkin "It is customary recite a preliminary chapter of Tehillim before reciting the birkat hamazon after meals. On weekdays, the general custom is to recite chapter 137, "Al Naharot Bavel", which is intended to remind us of the destruction of Jerusalem and the current exile. The Zohar states that one who derives pleasure from bread and enjoys the taste of foods is required to remember the Holy Land and the Beit Hamikdash after every meal. On Shabbat, and other festive days when such sobering thoughts are not appropriate, chapter 126, "Shir Hama'alot", is recited instead which speaks about the future redemption. Some also recite "Shir Hama'alot" when in the presence of a special guest. These Tehillim should be recited before washing one's hands at the end of the meal ("mayim achronim")." Eusebius on Rome as "Babylon" "Clement in the eighth book of his Hypotyposes gives this account, and with him agrees the bishop of Hierapolis named Papias. And Peter makes mention of Mark in his first epistle which they say that he wrote in Rome itself, as is indicated by him, when he calls the city, by a figure, Babylon, as he does in the following words: "The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son." Ecclesiastical History 2.15.1-2) "It is no exaggeration to say that the Fall of Jerusalem is the most significant national event in the history of the world." B.F. Dunelm, p.9 Origen on the coming of Christ: "He comes every day with great power to the mind of the believer in the clouds of prophecy, that is, in the Scriptures of the Prophets and the Apostles, who utter the word of God with a meaning above human nature. Also we say that to those who understand He comes with great glory, and that this is the mole seen in the second coming of the Word which is to the perfect. And so it may be, that all which the three Evangelists have said concerning Christ's coming, if carefully compared together and thoroughly examined would be found to apply to His continual daily coming in His body, which is the Church, of which coming He said in another place, Hereafter shall you see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven, excepting those places in which He promises that His last coming in His own person." (Aquinas Catena Matt. 24:30) MoGrace2u "TODAY is the day of salvation. Judgment comes at the end of this life for those who fail to avail themselves beforehand of what will save them from perdition - in that day when they bow before the Lord. A real warning and a real hope gives a man a real choice to make - now. Because now there is grace and mercy and forgiveness and no condemnation to face for those who call upon the Lord."

Though this heterodox movement continues to grow, signs are appearing that it may be coming apart at the seams. Their continual patching of new material on the old garment is making matters worse. I hope to loosen a few of its threads myself. " Justin Martyr: "You know very well that Jerusalem was laid waste just as it was prophesied. That it would be destroyed, and no one allowed to live there, was promised through the prophet Isaiah in this way: "Your land is desolate." Indeed you are aware that it is guarded and no one is in it." (First Apology, 47.4-6) Alexander Tilloch: "The commentator Arethas, who quotes Irenaeus' opinion, does not follow it. In his explanation of the sixth seal he applies it to the destruction of Jerusalem ; and he does so expressly on the authority of preceding interpreters." (Dissertations introductory to the study and right understanding of the Apocalypse. p. 9) Eusebius on Sunday worship: "Wherefore, being rejected of them [the Jews], the Word [Christ] by the new covenant translated and transferred the feast of the Sabbath to the dawn of light, and handed down to us a likeness of the true rest: the saving and Lord�s and first day of light.� (Commentary on the Psalms, Ps. 91 (Ps. 92 in A. V.), in J. P. Migne, Patrologia Graeca, Vol. 23, col. 1169, author�s translation.)
St. Irenaeus of Lyons (On "the end of the times" as fulfilled) "This then is the order of the rule of our faith, and the foundation of the building, and the stability of our conversation: God, the Father, not made, not material, invisible; one God, the creator of all things: this is the first point of our faith. The second point is: The Word of God, Son of God, Christ Jesus our Lord, who was manifested to the prophets according to the form of their prophesying and according to the method of the dispensation of the Father: through whom all things were made; who also at the end of the times, to complete and gather up all things, was made man among men, visible and tangible, in order to abolish death and show forth life and produce a community of union between God and man. And the third point is: The Holy Spirit, through whom the prophets prophesied, and the fathers learned the things of God, and the righteous were led forth into the way of righteousness; and who in the end of the times was poured out in a new way upon mankind in all the earth, renewing man unto God.." // "To them that believe He is as Father, for in the end of the times He opened up the covenant of adoption; but to the Jews as Lord and Lawgiver, for in the intermediate times, when man forgat God and departed and revolted from Him, He brought them into subjection by the Law, that they might learn that they had for Lord the maker and creator, who also gives the breath of life, and whom we ought to worship day and night: and to the Gentiles as maker and creator and almighty: and to all alike sustainer and nourisher and king and judge; for none shall escape and be delivered from His judgment, neither Jew nor Gentile, nor believer that has sinned, nor angel: but they who now reject His goodness shall know His power in judgment, according to that which the blessed apostle says: Not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance; but according to thy hardness and impenitent heart thou treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who shall render to every man according to his works." (The Proof of Apostolic Preaching, p. 76-77) Dollinger "Thus, after a siege unparalleled in the history of war, fell this noble city, the beloved Jerusalem, after it had flourished, under the protection of Heaven, more than two thousand years. The miserable citizens, who had not been carried away in chains, or crucified around the walls of Jerusalem, wandered forlorn over their once happy land. Their descendants, after a vain attempt, in the reign of Adrian, to rebuild their city, were scattered amongst the nations of the earth, where their children may, to this day, be seen, distinct from the nations with whom they live. The seat of the Jewish religion had fallen; the city of sacrifice had been destroyed; that implacable enemy of Christ, the sanhedrim, had been annihilated; it had become evident, even to the most darkened eye, that the time had arrived, in which the Church should spring forth, as the young plant, from the dead seed of Judaism, and should, in a short time, become the vast tree, spreading its branches over the whole earth."

88 Reasons Why The
Rapture Is In 1988, Edgar Whisenant (1988) Johanan b. Zakkai predicted Vespasian's elevation to the throne based upon his AD70 application of Isaiah 10:34 "And Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one" Apocalypse of Abraham "Behold I saw them running to them by way of four ascents and they burned the Temple with fire, and they plundered the holy things that were in it. And I said, "Eternal One, the people you received from me are being robbed by the hordes of the heathen. They are killing some and holding others as aliens, and they burned the Temple with fire and they are stealing and destroying the beautiful things which are in it. Eternal, Mighty One! If this is so, why now have you afflicted my heart and why will it be so?" (II, 681-705) 3rd Century Midrash traced to R. Levi: "Justice sprang up before the Holy One, Blessed Be He, and said to Him, "Master of the world can it be said of your glory, 'a creature of flesh and blood burned the Sanctuary? And can an evil one boast of Your glory, saying, 'I burned the House of God'? May a fire then descend from on heaven and burn him." God said to him, 'your plea is a valid one.' Then a fire descended from heaven, as it is said (Lam 1:13)!" (LmR I, 13) 3rd Century Midrash traced to R. Joshua ben Levi taunting the Romans: "If the fire had not been sent from heaven to harm me, what could you have done against me? If the fire had not been sent to do me in, would you have been able to triumph over me? You have milled flour which was already milled, you have killed a lion which was already dead, you have burned a building which was already burned." (Var. in PesR 26) R. Jose ben Halfta (second century) "The war of Ben Koziba lasted three and a half years." (Seder Olam Rabba, ch. 13) King James I (1588) "Of all the Scriptures, the bulk of reuelatioun is maist meit for this our last age. Iudge yif this be not ye tyme quhairof this place that have maid chois of doeth meane, and sa ye dew tyme for the reueiling of this prophecie." (Ane fruitfull Meditatioun contening ane plane and facill expositioun of ye 6m7m8m and 10 versis of the 20 Chap. of the Reuelatioun, Edinburg, p. sig. Aiiir.) John Nolland "Scholars have most commonly dated Matthew in the 80s or the 90s. But this is not to any significant degree because they have been able to identify in Matthew features that reflect what is definitely known of a situation in the 80s and 90s. They regularly claim just one fixed point: that Matthew reflects knowledge of the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple in A.D.70. This knowledge is said to be reflected most clearly in Mt. 22:7 and is sometimes claimed to be reflected in 23:36, 38 and 24:2. But while they are likely right to think that the present form of Mt. 22:7 reflects the Jerusalem focus on the judgment materials of chaps. 23 and 24 and to that degree is not an original feature of the parable, there is no basis for going beyond this and claiming that Matthew has written in light of what actually happened in A.D. 70. Nothing in Matthew's language encourages this belief. At 24:1-2 I grant that 'it is not inconceivable that an original prophecy by Jesus has taken on some colouring from one or other crisis situation facing Jerusalem in the subsequent period.' But there is actually no sign in Matthew of colouring from the A.D. 70 events. In relation to what actually happened in A.D. 70, there 'won't be left here [one] stone upon [another] stone' in Mt. 24:2 is already an exaggeration." (The Gospel of Matthew, p. 14) Preterist-Idealism: "To see the things of the future face to face is granted only to the after life ; to him who looks forward, the future appears only in the mirror of the present ; the symbol of the future hovers before him in the signs of his time. Hence the conflict of Christian history and the hope of eternal victory were to the writer of the Apocalypse symbolically reflected in the confusions of his time ; and if he saw close at hand the eternal triumph of the kingdom of God, he simply erred in the same way as Isaiah or his greater post-Exilic successor, the former of whom expected that the Assyrian oppression and deliverance from it, and the latter that the Babylonian captivity and deliverance, alone separated them from the Messianic salvation." (Willibald Beyschlag, New Testament Theology) Steve Mason: "Since Josephus�s literary art demonstrably involves changes of narrative voice, complexity of character development, calculated repetition of charged language, variation of diction, and diversionary excursus, it seems impossible to devise criteria based on such phenomena for extracting sources. Attempting such recovery would require a sort of literary Heimlich maneuver, performed on someone who has long since digested the item being sought. The result is likely to be neither appealing nor useful." (Josephus and Christian Origins, 38) G.H. Van Kooten: "The only comparable independent patristic information (on the dating of Revelation) seems to be provided by Clement of Alexandria, according to whom 'on the tyrant's death, he [i.e. John] returned to Ephesus from the isle of Patmos' (What Rich Man Can Be Saved? 42). Clement, however, does not specify this tyrant's identity, and it is only Eusebius who, when quoting Clement, assumes, in the light of Irenaeus' claims, that this tyrant is Domitian (Church History, 3.23.5). Clement himself appears to apply the contents of Daniel's prophecies, which also resonate in Revelation, to the year of the four emperors in Stromata 1.21: 'Nero held sway, and in the holy city Jerusalem placed the abomination: and.. he was taken away, and Otho, and Galba, and Vitellius. And Vespasian rose to the supreme power, and destroyed Jerusalem.'" (The Year of the Four Emperors and the Revelation of John PDF) The Contribution of British Writers Between 1560 and 1830 to the Interpretation of Revelation 13.16-18 - Chapter Five : 1649-1660 - Henry Hammond and the Preterist School of Interpretation "This volume contained a brave but lonely attempt to introduce the preterist interpretation of the Book of Revelation to English soil. Hammond laid great stress on the opening words of the Apocalypse in which the book is said to contain 'things which must shortly come to pass.' .. But those who argued for the preterist interpretation of the Book of Revelation.. were playing to empty galleries, until at least the fourth decade of the nineteenth century. Their views were anything but popular and those who followed them could soon find themselves branded with the infamous mark of the papal beast."

C. Michael Patton (2008) "It looks like I am getting some flack from some passionate Preterists (full or hyper Preterist, not partial preterists) who say I don�t give them a fair shake in The Theology Program material.. Preterism is a funny thing. It is something that causes quite a bit of passionate adherence, the degree to which shows great imbalance. The reason why we don�t cover it in TTP is because it is neither significant historically or contemporary. I know that this might seem like an arrogant statement to those who hold this position, but I feel I am qualified enough to make this assertion in good conscience." (Why I Don't Teach Preterism) Pere Villalba i Varneda "Neither should we forget, as a basic thesis of Flavius Josephus himself, that opinion according to which it was God himself who had vowed the downfall of Jerusalem (B, V, 19, 559; B, VI, 371, 411), and that it was this same God who for a long time had destined it to the flames (B, VI, 250), and that there also existed a premonition of its undoing, which the Jews had not managed to understand with sufficient justice (B, VI, 310-315)." (The Historical Method of Flavius Josephus, p. 18) Josephus: 'you may perhaps recover when you have reconciled yourself with the deity who destroyed you.' (Josephus, War 5.19) Arethas (c.850 - 944) (On the Early Dating of Revelation) "For there were many, yea, a countless multitude from among the Jews, who believed in Christ : as even they testify, who said to St Paul on his arrival at Jerusalem : Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe. (Acts xxi. 20.) And He who gave this revelation to the Evangelist, declares, that these men shall not share the destruction inflicted by the Romans. For the ruin brought by the Romans had not yet fallen upon the Jews, when this Evangelist received these prophecies : and he did not receive them at Jerusalem, but in Ionia near Ephesus. For after the suffering of the Lord he remained only fourteen years at Jerusalem, during which time the tabernacle of the mother of the Lord, which had conceived this Divine offspring, was preserved in this temporal life, after the suffering and resurrection of her incorruptible Son. For he continued with her as with a mother committed to him by the Lord. For after her death it is reported that he no longer chose to remain in Judaea, but passed over to Ephesus, where, as we have said, this present Apocalypse also was composed ; which is a revelation of future things, inasmuch as forty years after the ascension of the Lord this tribulation came upon the Jews." N.T. Wright - "You may be allowed to eat meat offered to idols, but you cannot deny the future bodily resurrection and claim that denial as an allowable Christian option." The Resurrection of the Son of God, pg 331 Andrew Perriman - "The polemical origins, continuing controversialism, and sectarian rhetoric of Preterism make it a difficult movement to evaluate - and I have to admit, my instinct is still to hold it somewhat at arm�s length." Eusebius - "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority" [Acts 1:7]. It seems to me that [Jesus], as God and Lord, delivered this succinct verdict not solely regarding the end of the world but about all times, in order to discourage those who would dare attempt such a futile undertaking." - , Introduction to the Chronicle, AD 325 Fr�d�ric Godet "Jesus predicted the destruction of Jerusalem, that is certain." (A Commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke, 1889, p. 412) F.C. Cook "The coming of Christ shall not be an obscure one, confined to a particular place, and signified from thence by report, but one visible to the whole world. Surely this again is an intimation that the second coming of Christ is not to be identified with any local event, such as the destruction of Jerusalem." Louis H. Feldman "As for the impiety of which Josephus accused (John of Gischala), it stems to some extent from the fact that John, like many others, gave a favorable interpretation to the Scriptural prophecies, whereas Josephus saw them as foretelling the ruin of Jerusalem" (Josephus, the Bible and History, p. 234) George Eldon Ladd (On Hebrews 8:13) "The passage we have just cited from Hebrews says that when there is forgiveness, there is no longer any offering for sin. The forgiveness wrought by Christ renders invalid and obsolete the Mosaic system. Hebrews asserts the same truth in 8:13: �In speaking of a new covenant, he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.� Whether or not these words refer to the historical destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D., they at least affirm the dissolution of the old Mosaic order, because the new order of redemptive reality has come."

For once Alzheimer's was a good thing for, by his second term, he seemed to have forgotten all about it. " PROCOPIUS. "'Among these [spoils] there were also the vessels of the Jews, which Titus the son of Vespasian after the capture of Jerusalem brought with some other things to Rome. Now a certain Jew, beholding these things, and standing near one of the friends of the Emperor, remarked : " It would be an inauspicious act, in my opinion, to have these treasures carried into the palace at Constantinople. For they can be kept no where but in that place, which Solomon, who was formerly king of the Jews, assigned to them. On account of these very things the palace of the Romans was formerly plundered by Genseric, and now that of the Vandals by the Roman army." These words being reported to the Emperor, excited his fears : and he instantly sent them all to the Christian churches in Jerusalem.' Thomas Whittemore Matthew Poole

India to revoke impunity law in parts of Kashmir
By AP News Oct 22, 2011 10:19PM UTCSRINAGAR, India (AP) — Indian authorities plan to partially revoke a controversial law that shields government forces from prosecution in its portion of Kashmir.
Indian Kashmir's top elected official Omar Abdullah told police officers Friday that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act will be withdrawn in the next few days from areas where militancy has ebbed in recent years.
At present, army and paramilitary officers can search homes and make arrests without warrants, shoot at anyone suspected of being a separatist and blow up any building or home.
Activists accuse Indian troops of routinely abusing the extraordinary powers and killing innocent civilians.
Since 1989, more than 68,000 people have died in an armed uprising and subsequent crackdown by Indian forces in Kashmir.

Les Négresses Vertes
Les Négresses Vertes, which formed in 1987, is a French music group that is best described as a fusion of world music and some aspects of alternative rock. Its tracks often feature acoustic guitar and accordion, as well as some tracks containing many other traditional instruments such as piano and brass. The group's style is fairly upbeat and energetic on the majority of its tracks, with unusual rhythms, vocals delivered with a generous dose of zeal and vibrant energy, and accompaniment melodies ranging from lilting and distant to eccentric and fast-paced. These two factors give many of the group's pieces a strong sense of direction.
Formed in 1987, Les Négresses Vertes arose from the alternative-music scene in Paris. The original line-up included singer Helno (also known as Helno Rota de Lourcqua, born Noël Rota in Paris, December 25, 1963–January 22, 1993), Jo Roz (also known as l'Ami Ro; real name Joe Ruffier des Aimes) (piano), Stéfane Mellino (guitar), Jean-Marie Paulus (bass), Gaby (drums), Matthias Canavese (accordion), Michel Ochowiak (trumpet), Abraham Sirinix (also known as Abraham Braham) (trombone), and Iza Mellino (backing vocals).
The original members were a group of friends, many of whom had not played their instruments before forming the band. The group's name translates as green negresses; it arose from abuse hurled at the members at one of the group's first concerts. The insult is a comparison to the kitsch art of Vladimir Tretchikoff. The group was initially signed to the independent Off the Track label and released the punk protest song "200 Ans D'Hypocrisie" in response to its home country's French Revolution bicentennial celebrations.[1]
In 1989, it released its first album, Mlah, to good reviews in both France and the UK, where the single "Zobi La Mouche" just failed to reach the charts and where it toured and played the WOMAD festival. The group also made a controversial tour of Lebanon. Its second album, Famille Nombreuse, in 1991, featured new drummer Zé Verbalito.
In 1990, Les Négresses Vertes contributed the song "I love Paris" to the Cole Porter tribute album "Red Hot + Blue", which was produced by the Red Hot Organization.
Helno was by this time struggling with serious heroin addiction, and Stéfane Mellino and Canavese replaced him as the main songwriters. Helno died at his parents' house on January 22, 1993.
Several members left the band after Helno's death, but Les Négresses Vertes continued around the nucleus of Mellino, Canavese, Ochowiak, and Paulus. In 1995, the band released the album Zig-Zague, followed by the live album Green Bus. By 2000's Trabendo, the group's style had shifted to a dub-oriented lounge style.

Late Quaternary palaeoclimate of western Alaska inferred from fossil chironomids and its relation to vegetation histories
Kurek, Joshua, Cwynar, Les C., Ager, Thomas A., Abbott, Mark B. and Edwards, Mary E. (2009) Late Quaternary palaeoclimate of western Alaska inferred from fossil chironomids and its relation to vegetation histories. Quaternary Science Reviews, 28, (9-10), 799-811.

Fossil Chironomidae assemblages (with a few Chaoboridae and Ceratopogonidae) from Zagoskin and Burial Lakes in western Alaska provide quantitative reconstructions of mean July air temperatures for periods of the late-middle Wisconsin (similar to 39,000-34,000 cal yr B.P.) to the present. Inferred temperatures are compared with previously analyzed pollen data from each site summarized here by indirect ordination. Paleotemperature trends reveal substantial differences in the timing of climatic warming following the late Wisconsin at each site, although chronological uncertainty exists. Zagoskin Lake shows early warming beginning at about 21,000 cal yr B.P., whereas warming at Burial Lake begins similar to 4000 years later. Summer climates during the last glacial maximum (LGM) were on average similar to 3.5 degrees C below the modern temperatures at each site. Major shifts in vegetation occurred from similar to 19,000 to 10,000 cal yr B.P. at Zagoskin Lake and from similar to 17,000 to 10,000 cal yr B.R at Burial Lake. Vegetation shifts followed climatic warming, when temperatures neared modern values. Both sites provide evidence of an early postglacial thermal maximum at similar to 12,300 cal yr B.R These chironomid records, combined with other insect-based climatic reconstructions from Beringia, indicate that during the LGM: (1) greater continentality likely influenced regions adjacent to the Bering Land Bridge and (2) summer climates were, at times, not dominated by severe cold

chrischats - Unregistered March 29, 2010 8:52 PM It was reported last October in my local paper that Phil Glew was aiming to enter the BTCC this year! So to some of us its no surprise! Yes Phil Glew is bringing money to the Triple Eight camp! But lets face it, if he had no talent he wouldn't be able to bring his previous sponsors money with him! edge.co.uk who sponsor him also are an essex based company and their managing director Andrew Riley has been speaking to the Media locally for 6 months and the deal has now been done!! As for Giovanardi? No chance of him being in their other Vectra! More likely to be Nick Leason or Dean Smith! 1 agree 0 disagree
Jon April 01, 2010 1:29 PM My Italian barber insists it will be Giovanardi in the other car.Doesn't sound a reputable source, but this guy will insists that Giovanardi will be driving this Sunday with key sponsors present.If he performs he'll get signed for the season- this is what I was told 7 days ago though, so could be old news by now...

Breaking Down the "Energy" Projects in the Stimulus
Most of the projects in the the President's $900 billion stimulus package are the kind of public works the government has executed for decades: trains, bridges, and so on. But the "Energy" projects that will be eligible for funding are full of new technologies that have never before been implemented on a large scale. What exactly are they?
According to the House Committee on Appropriations, the House version of the bill reserves "energy" monies for the following project categories.
- $11 billion for R&D devoted to the Smart Grid Investment Program and various energy pilot projects
- $8 billion for loans for renewable energy plants
- $6.9 billion for loans to state and local governments, to help them make general "investments" that will increase their energy efficiency
- $8.7 billion to weatherize HUD-sponsored and moderate income housing
- $2 billion in loans and grants for battery technology
- $1.5 billion for increasing the efficiency of schools and colleges
- $300 million in rebates for consumers who buy Energy Star-rated appliances
- $1 billion to buy alternative fuel cars for federal, state and local government
- $200 million in grants towards electric vehicle research
- $2.4 billion for carbon-capture technology to cleanse fossil fuel energy
- $350 for the Department of Defense to figure out how to power bases and weapons with renewable energy
- $500 million for energy-efficient manufacturing projects
- $300 for reducing diesel emissions.
You can read the House's summary of the bill here.
We know a little bit about the so-called "smart grid" that President Obama is advocating. The smart grid is an energy transmission system that can handle variable energy levels, and can pull energy from homes and businesses as easily as it can send energy there. That makes inconsistent generators like wind turbines and solar panels feasible energy sources, and opens the possibility for hybrid cars and houses to sell back some of their energy to the utility company.
But the details of the other projects are discussed largely in catch phrases and metonyms. To figure out where this money will actually go, you have to dig into the pages of the Main Street Economic Recovery Report, which is a list of potential stimulus projects compiled by the US Conference of Mayors. As I explained in an earlier post, the mayors of America's cities will be the ones sending stimulus ideas to the state-level government, who, in turn, will apply for funding from the Department of Commerce once the stimulus—aka the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act—is signed into law at the end of this week.
But if you want a more Web 2.0 way to explore the mayors' project suggestions, you can check out Stimulus Watch, which has ported the mayors' list, and allows people to vote and comment on the projects.
The mayors' report lists over 1300 "energy" and related project ideas in all 50 states. This is the meat and potatoes of the stimulus package, right here; each idea is summarized with job-creation predictions and cost estimates. It's also the most exciting part of the act, because many of these suggested projects will, if enacted, bring thousands of talked-about "green" ideas to immediate popular use.
Here are some examples. There are pages and pages of these; I've chosen interesting projects to highlight.
- Bessemer, AL: Auto-Meter reading system for City wide electrical system use. $5,800,000.00 - 70 jobs.
- Fountain Valley, CA: Hybrid HVAC/Night Shift system with solar powered air handlers. $800,000.00 - 5 jobs.
- Hayward, CA: LED Street Lights. Replace street lights with LEDs Citywide. $8,000,000.00 - 150 jobs.
- Glendora, CA: Solar power panel funding to assist small business owners with the installation costs. $975,000.00 - 45 jobs.
- North Miami, FL: Establish a "Change a light bulb" program for all income eligible households and change out all incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs. $2,000,000.00 - 2 jobs.
- Plantation, FL: Methane Gas Conversion-Methane gas is a by-product from treating wastewater. The gas would be cleaned, scrubbed, and compressed to be used as electric power to operate equipment in the wastewater plant. $1,500,000.00 - 10 jobs.
- Des Moines, IA: Citywide interconnection of all traffic lights. $500,000.00 - 25 jobs.
- Orofino, ID: Clearwater County Woody Biomass Cogeneration Facility. $30,000,000.00 - 200 jobs.
- Lake Havasu City, AZ: City Hall Retrofitting Parking Structures w/Solar Power Regeneration. $7,280,000.00 - 130 jobs.
- Peoria, AZ: Install alternative fueling station and fleet shop upgrades (natural gas or hydrogen). $2,500,000.00 - 11 jobs.
- Cerritos, CA: "Go Green" Supplemental Power System for Cerritos Library: installation of micro-turbine generators in accordance with California state requirements, to prevent blackouts and reduce adverse environmental impacts. $360,000.00 - 5 jobs.
- Hopkinsville, KY: Automated Electric Information System. Currently, electric customers use more electricity than necessary due to lack of information about the amount of electricity being used. $3,900,000.00 - 4 jobs.
The fate of these projects rests largely on which version of the bill—House or Senate—most closely resembles the version that will be signed into law. As Bloomberg has noted, the House version has allotted much more spending for wind, solar, and efficient lighting, while the Senate version is weighted towards projects that encourage clean coal, nuclear energy, and electric cars.
The House version also includes a crucial grants for renewable energy companies that would equal a whopping 30% of their operating costs. Without that provision, wind and solar companies are predicted to move overseas en masse. The Senate version has tax breaks for hybrid car buyers and manufacturers, and loan guarantees that can be used in building nuclear power plants.
House and Senate leaders are working to resolve these discrepancies this week, while slimming down the total size of the bill to under $900 billion. President Obama is sure to lobby hard to preserve funding for energy projects, which he touted in his campaign. The New York Times has reported that the energy industry has influence in his administration equivalent to that of the oil industry in the Bush administration. Whether that relationship is entirely wholesome remains to be seen, but in either case, it should mean that many of the aforementionws allotments and projects will see execution.

THe $500M for industrial energy efficiency is a drop in the bucket compared to the overall stimulus, but it promises to have an enormous impact. I'm associated with Recycled Energy Development, a company that does cogeneration, waste heat recovery, etc. And the potential scope of this approach is massive: EPA and DOE estimates suggest energy recycling could slash greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, which is as much as if we took every passenger vehicle off the road. Meanwhile, we'd cut costs due to increased efficiency. This is a good start.

Justin Bieber's Manager, Scooter Braun, is Engaged!
Congratulations, Scooter Braun! According to Us Weekly, Justin Bieber's longtime manager popped the question to his girlfriend, Yael Cohen, Sunday — and she said yes! "He is really happy," a source close to the couple said. The man behind the Biebs proposed at his home in Los Angeles, and although he has yet to come out and announce the good news himself, he's already alluded to the big event on Twitter. Monday, he said, "Loving 2014. Luckiest guy in the world," and commented on what a "great night," he'd had Sunday. Sounds like a man recently engaged to us! So who's the lucky lady? Yael — who Instagrammed a photo of a neon light that says "yes," on Monday — is the CEO of F—k Cancer, an organization that encourages teens and young adults to spread the word about cancer to promote early detection. Yael founded the organization in 2009, after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Scooter and Yael rang in the New Year vacationing in the Caribbean, and even though they're now back to real life, we have a feeling they can't complain. "It's been one amazing vacation," Scooter said Sunday. "Love life! Play hard work hard!" Now for the real question: can we expect to see Bieber all dressed up in a tux as the best man? Fill us in, Scooter! Source: Us Weekly

In the not so distant past, the people of Rwambu were up against a quickly shrinking water table, largely created by agricultural expansion and bad management of the wetland. Water no longer sufficiently saturated the ground and erosion occurred all over. As a result, water supply, both for drinking and household needs, was in very short supply. Women and children were forced to walk two hours down the hillsides to the wetland in the valley to access water.
Since 2012, we have been working in collaboration with RAIN Foundation and our local partner Joint Effort to Save the Environment (JESE) in the Rwambu catchment. In just a few years, we have seen the following results:
The wetland was demarcated and zoning was introduced, allowing community members to fetch water, feed cattle, catch fish and harvest medicinal plants and reeds at separated, best located places in the wetland.
Farming within the wetland area was banned and affected families compensated with alternative livelihood options higher up in the catchment.
Uphill, stones were stacked at farmer's fields to allow for rainwater to infiltrate the ground, in turn stopping soil erosion.
Trees were planted at the bald spots high in the catchment, allowing further recharging of the water table.
Downstream, former leaky latrines were replaced by functional ones and strategically relocated to avoid any contamination of present water sources.
Local communities are glad to see the reappearance of a number of indigenous species around the lake. This indicates that the services and values of the wetland are returning. Furthermore, the wetland is recovering, displayed in its growth. A growing wetland also means a higher capacity to filter and recharge the groundwater.

text: Kovalainen admits Caterham talks for 2014 serious 12 October, 2013 Heikki Kovalainen Heikki Kovalainen has revealed that he is in serious talks with Caterham regarding making a return to the Formula 1 grid in 2014. Having been dropped from the race lineup this year, Finn Kovalainen has been given a handful of Friday morning appearances by the team in 2013, including at Suzuka. The 31-year-old said that his future is now in Caterham's hands. "The only serious discussions have taken place with Caterham, so I'm looking forward to their decision," Kovalainen told Finland's Turun Sanomat newspaper. "It's hard to say what the chance is, but the relationship is good," he added. Kovalainen was the fastest of the Caterham and Marussia drivers on Friday. He insisted: "I don't feel that I need to prove anything in these practices, because the teams knows exactly what they get with me." (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Novel Control for B1 (input and level)
Here is my idea of a cool source controller... front end for the B1, if you will.
I like the idea of 2 separate pots for each channel. But how to match the level? I guess this is more for anal people (like me ). Well, you measure the voltage out of the pot. It works like this: The controller has the input selection via relays (4 total inputs for each channel) and a mute relay. In addition, there are relays that apply 5v to the pot and a microcontroller with an A/D converter measures the voltage on the wiper. There are 2 sets of everything, one set for each channel. This setup can be a true "dual mono" preamp/buffer. The relays that apply the voltage to the pot also connect the digital ground to the analog ground. When in normal listen mode, there are no connections between the digital circuit and the analog circuit. Furthermore, the A/D converters are not sampling during listen mode, so there really isn't any way for noise to pollute the analog signal. There are 2 modes, listen and mute. Whenever the mute is active, then so is the matching function. The left-most button activates the mute. Each input has it's own indicator LED and the Mute/Match indicator is a green/red bicolor LED that lights up red when not matched and changes to green when both channels are matched. This concept allow any pots to be used, you can even use different values because it is simply measuring the divided voltage on the output of the pot. If you use a linear pot, then the full 10-bit resolution of the A/D can be used for 1024 levels, including ground. The matching depends on the performance of the A/D, which I haven't investigated yet. The first prototypes have log taper pots, which forced me to divide down the sample value to an 8-bit number so that the channels could be matched at higher parts of the taper where a tiny touch of the knob results in a large resistance change. I plan to change the board layout again to not have the pot mounted on it. That way I can experiment with different pots and choose the ones that I like the sound of. I ordered some precision multi-turn wire-wound pots to try out. This concept is probably the only way a multi-turn pot is practical! It's a work in progress, but so far it works quite well (at matching). I haven't put everything together yet to make a complete unit, but I'm getting there.

I calculated the channel matching accuracy and it turns out to be quite good.
Assuming a bit error of the A/D converter of + or - 1/2 LSB, the channel to channel matching is + or - .004 dB at full volume and .267 dB at 1/64th volume. The matching error is worst at very low volume levels because the bit error of the A/D is a fixed value regardless of where the level control position is set. I didn't calculate the error for each of the possible 1023 levels, only for a reasonable range of 1/64th to full volume. I think this accuracy is great and I can't wait to get everything put together!

Lovely concept. Now even the deaf will be able to enjoy a perfectly centered stereo image by just looking at an led and having a steady hand. But isn't this still too difficult? How about one pot is set by hand and the other is motorised and automatically matches the position?

Microsoft Internet Explorer Share Falls, Firefox Rises, Says StatCounter
Microsoft Internet Explorer's share of the browser market has fallen for versions 6 and 7 over the past year, with IE 8 steadily rising over the past few months. At the same time, Firefox 3.0 gained market share before leveling off within the past month, while Safari, Chrome and other browsers occupy single-digit territory, according to a new report by StatCounter.
Microsoft's share of the browser market has fallen in the past year, at least when it comes to Internet Explorer 6 and 7, according to a report by StatCounter. At the same time, however, the market share for Internet Explorer 8 has picked up in the past five months, with some 15.4 percent by the first week of July.Even as share for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 dipped lower, Firefox 3.0 took a stronger position in the market, rising from fourth place in July 2008 to a close second-place a year later.
Internet Explorer's one major market-share competitor, Firefox 3.0, saw its portion level off slightly to 27.73 percent in July, while the other "majors" - including the various versions of Safari, Firefox 2.0 and Chrome - all occupied between 0.04 percent and 2 percent of the market.
Analysts suggest that the dip in market share for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 is due to the combined presence of both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8.
"It is both," Ray Valdes, an analyst for Gartner, told eWEEK. "There are many IE users that are upgrading to IE 8 and discontinuing either IE 7 or IE 6. At the same time, some of those users are leading IE entirely and going over to an alternative browser." On June 30, Mozilla released Firefox 3.5, designed with new features such as extensive support for HTML 5, faster speeds than Firefox 3.0, and support for JSON and Web worker threads. A patch is currently under design to correct certain bugs, and is scheduled to be released later in July.
Aodhan Cullen, CEO of StatCounter, suggested in a July 2 statement that Firefox's new version "boosts competition for Microsoft Internet Explorer in the browser market wars."
Although Internet Explorer 6 and 7 remain in heavy use by the enterprise, Firefox has been gaining more market share in the desktop browser market, according to a research report by Forrester. In 2008, Internet Explorer 6 dominated the enterprise market, with a share ranging from 66.6 percent in July to 60.2 percent in December. The market share for IE 7 increased in that same period from 33.4 percent to 39.0 percent; Microsoft's overall share of the browser market dipped slightly from 81.3 percent to 78.0 percent.
During the same timeframe, Firefox made slight gains, increasing its enterprise share from 16.9 percent to 18.2 percent over a six-month period. That allowed it to far outpace the growth for Google Chrome, which went from 1.6 percent of the market immediately following its September release to 2.0 percent by December, and Apple Safari, which continued through the six-month period with a 1.4 percent market share.
However, the Forrester report argued, the growth in alternatives to Internet Explorer was stunted somewhat by IT administrators' concern over whether customized enterprise applications would run successfully on another choice such as Firefox, leading them to bind their particular businesses to one "approved" browser.
The report argues that the enterprise acceptance of new browsers has a substantial chance of boosting worker productivity. "IE 8 and Firefox 3-and eventually Chrome and Safari 4 - offer compelling productivity enhancements that can help people work faster as they navigate and engage in applications on the Web," wrote principal author and Forrester analyst Sheri McLeish.

Aug 23rd, 2012Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment. The single most common tactic that Lowbrow artists employ is to poke fun at convention. They know the "rules" of art, and consciously choose not to abide by them. If the test of time for legitimacy (as an artistic movement) means that Lowbrow speaks/spoke, in visual terms, to the millions of us who share a common cultural, symbolic language - albeit a "lower" or "middle" class, media-driven language - then, yes, Lowbrow is here to stay. Anthropologists will probably study Lowbrow in the future, to attempt to figure out late 20th and early 21st century U.S. societal influences.

This new knowledge of Photo Manipulation was added to previous skills acquired earning my bachelor degree in Graphic Design and it allows me to explore beauty in darkness, forgotten worlds, myths and legends but it is also a great way to narrate stories with my own vision and to give and share some of my feelings with other people through characters. My primary work is with fantasy and with emotional and dark illustrations. Most often I choose female character as the main subject. I specialize in creating multiple types of art, available on the net for print issues.

Nov 4th, 2011I have always been creative...drawing, painting, photography and digital art, I'm self taught.
Feb 25th, 2012"Sou apaixonado pela arte digital, pela criação e ilustração do inimaginável..." A criatividade é uma forma de compensação. Algo nos falta, e não há nada que preencha esse vazio. Se usarmos a nossa capacidade infinita de criação e renovação e aliarmos a curiosidade à atenção, podemos aperceber-nos de um mundo em mudança e mudarmo-nos a nós mesmos e ao que nos rodeia. É aplicando mais de nós em tudo o que fazemos que acompanhamos de forma criativa aquilo que vai mudando continuamente no mundo. E é dessa forma que o ajudamos a preparar-nos para o salto seguinte, alterando aquilo que houver de negativo e abrindo caminhos no sentido da evolução. Lembre-se: "a vida é a arte de desenhar sem borracha."

Only the canvas was Replaced by a photosensitive material - paint-by light. to see the hidden beauty in our heart. to create beautiful images we need to run your sensitivity to beauty. This is the key to success. Rest is so long, hard work backed by a large patience. When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to Achieve it.

Entertainment brands are on the forefront of seeing themselves as creators of content. For marketing pros in this sector, it's native territory. Mike Stevens, chief marketing officer for the New York Giants, is such a creature.
According to Ad Age, the New York Giants and Fox Television's two New York stations are forming a new content and distribution partnership.
The deal calls for the Giants' new entertainment division to air programs and news segments exclusively on Fox-owned stations, which already carry the rights to most of the team's regular season games.
The programming, created by the Giants, will be diverse, including the expected range of pre- and post-game shows, but also entertainment- and lifestyle-oriented fare to appeal to a demographic wider than its normal sports base.
Stevens said that because the team already controls its radio production and sales, the close partnership with Fox's stations makes it one of the most streamlined ad buys in all of sports.
"We want to almost be viewed as an agency," said Mr. Stevens.
