10 stunning religious monuments around the world 20 February 2018 10 stunning religious monuments around the world 20 February 2018 image image Throughout the passage of time, humankind has gone to great lengths to depict, honour, and exalt their gods. Religious monuments are scattered across the earth, ranging from humble, tranquil places for prayer and worship, to colossal statues that can be seen from miles away. These landmarks are hallmarks of human spirit and tenacity, and for wandering travellers, offer a sweet dose of culture and history. Add these stunning religious monuments to your bucket list for 2018! Christ of the Abyss image Photo: Atlas Obscura We all know of the massive Christ the Redeemer monument. Sitting atop the Corcovado mountain in Brazil’s Tijuca Forest National Park, Christ the Redeemer is one of the seven manmade wonders of the world. It is a must-see for travellers to Brazil, but there is another impressive statue of Jesus Christ unbeknownst to most conventional travellers. While Christ the Redeemer towers above Rio de Janeiro at 38 metres in height, this statue sits 17 metres below sea level. A bronze statue of Christ rests at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, off Italy’s San Fruttuoso Coast. It was submerged in 1954, erected as a tribute to the first Italian scuba diver, Dario Gonzatt. Rising 2.5 metres from the ocean floor, the monument is visible to snorkelers and swimmers on the water’s surface. For a closer look at its carvings, and at the coral ecosystem that’s sprung up on and around the structure, it’s best to slap on some scuba gear. Copycat statues have been made around the world, but Italy’s Christ of the Abyss is the original (and also the oldest). Blue Mosque image Photo: IslamiCity A visit to Istanbul would not be complete without seeing the remarkable Sultan Ahmed Mosque, otherwise more popularly known as the Blue Mosque. Constructed in the 1600s, the structure is a culmination of Ottoman and Byzantine architecture, and lives on today as a historic Islamic landmark. Most mosques have one, two, or four minarets, but the Blue Mosque has a whopping total of six spectacular minarets. Hand-painted blue tiles line the interior of the building, bathing the mosque in soft blue hues during both day and night (thus affording this religious monument its coveted nickname). It is considered to be the most important mosque in Istanbul, and is located next to the Byzantine Hippodrome in the old city center. Guan Yin image Photo: Sunny Hainan On the Chinese island province of Hainan rests an intriguing depiction of Guan Yin, Buddhism’s Goddess of Mercy. This may only be the fourteenth-tallest statue in the world, but it is the tallest statue of Guan Yin to date. It took 6 years to build, with the combined efforts of more than 100 Buddhist monks from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China, and of thousands of pilgrims from around the region. This monument rises 108 metres above the south coast of Hainan Island, and bears three faces — one looking towards land, and the other two facing seaward. Each face offers different forms of blessings for China and the world. Saint-Michel d’Aiguilhe Chapel image Photo: Pinterest Southern France has a multitude of mountaintop churches, but the Saint-Michel d’Aiguilhe Chapel might just be one of the most breathtaking. The year is 951, and one Bishop Godescalc returns to his French village, Le Puy-en-Velay, after having successfully completed an overland pilgrimage to Spain. To celebrate his safe return, the Bishop decided to build a small chapel at the very top of a volcanic core in the middle of town. Today, travellers can visit the 10th-century church by making a 200-step climb up rugged volcanic rock. It’s not an easy climb, but the stunning views at the very top make it all worth it (especially at twilight!) Boudhanath image Photo: Wikipedia One of Kathmandu’s most iconic symbols and a UNESCO world heritage site is the Boudhanath stupa (stupa means dome-shaped Buddhist shrine in Sanskrit). Located in the very outskirts of the city, along what used to be a major trade route centuries ago, the Boudhanath is an important place for pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and locals. Believed to have been built in the 6th century, this stupa’s massive mandala is one of the largest in Nepal. The monument is surreal, almost, teeming with centuries of history. Amidst air thick with incense, pilgrims and tourists to Boudhanath circumambulate the stupa — where a single lap spans 150 metres — as a form of meditation and prayer. Borobudur image With dreamy, Insta-worthy sunrise and sunset views, Borobodur has been receiving a fair bit of attention lately — but did you know that it was lost to the jungle for centuries? Borobodur was initially constructed between the 8th and 9th centuries, but was forgotten for a good part of history until it was rediscovered in the 1800s. To date, it is the largest Buddhist temple known to mankind. At seven stories high, the monument is composed of two million cubic feet of stone, and densely decorated with over 500 Buddha statues. Each of these levels are symbolic in Buddhist cosmology. Pilgrims begin their journey from the base of the monument, following a winding path as they ascend to the top (spanning more than three kilometres). This amazing religious structure is a must-visit for your bucket list. Lord Murugan image Photo: Flickr At 42 metres tall, the world’s tallest Hindu statue — a depiction of the deity Lord Murugan — took three years, 1550 cubic metres of concrete, 250 tonnes of steel, and more than 300 litres of gold paint to create. It has become an iconic symbol of Malaysian tourism in the few years since it was built (having been in completed in 2006). The statue stands proudly outside Batu Caves, a limestone labyrinth said to be 400 million years old, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For an unforgettable spectacle, plan your visit during the annual Thaipusam festival. You’ll be able to witness Lord Murugan’s devotees walking across fiery coals, chanting hymns and prayers, and carrying brilliantly coloured kavadis. Darbar Sahib image Photo: Wikipedia The picture above may be a piece of art, but on clear nights we’d imagine this is exactly how the Darbar Sahib glitters in the moonlight. The Darbar Sahib, known also as the Golden Temple, sits in the middle of a man-made pool in the city of Amritsar, in Punjab, India. The temple was built in the 16th century, but was repeatedly destroyed in wars over the centuries; it was also repeatedly rebuilt, the last instance being in 1830 with marble and copper. It was then also that the central sanctum was first wrapped with its now distinctive gold foil. Having survived for centuries, the temple is a symbol of mankind’s sheer determination. Known traditionally as Sri Harmandir Sahib, which in local tongue literally means “the abode of God,” the Darbar Sahib is the holiest religious shrine in Sikhism. Most Sikhs will visit Amritsar and the Darbar Sahib at least once during their lifetime. Pilgrims flock to the Golden Temple during important religious festivals as well, such as Vaisakhi and Diwali. It is also during festivals that the temple is decked out in pretty lights, and fireworks are launched into the sky, illuminating the Golden Temple in all its glory. Leshan Giant Buddha image Photo: Wikipedia The next religious monument on our list is more than 1,200 years old, and in 1996 was declared a UNESCO world heritage site. The Leshan Giant Buddha, located in the Mount Emei Scenic Area in China’s Sichuan province, is a historical relic — and a sight to behold. Over a millennia ago, devotees carved a giant, 71-metre high sitting Buddha into a cliff face, where it still stands (or sits) mightily today. The backstory behind this stone monument is an intriguing one, too — the construction was led by a Chinese monk who hoped the Buddha would calm the raging river beneath it, in order to allow ships to pass through safely. And calm the river it did; the stones that fell into the riverbed during construction actually helped to smooth the currents. Delphi image Photo: Greece Is Visiting Greece? We’ve all heard of the Parthenon or the Temple of Zeus, but here’s another ancient religious monument that deserves a little more attention — the UNESCO world heritage site, Delphi. Today, perched on the southwestern slopes of Mount Parnassus, Delphi appears to be just another ancient temple complex, run into ruins by the sands of time. Centuries ago however, Delphi was an important gathering place, and the very heart of the cult of Apollo. The ancient Greeks thought this to be sacred grounds and the centre of the world, chosen by Zeus himself. The massive site held temples, shrines, and even a stadium. Back then, commoners and statesmen alike would visit Delphi to speak to the Oracle — a female priestess who would enter trances (by inhaling toxic volcanic fumes) and utter divine messages from the Gods.

How We Can "EAT" Sunlight ... What Wheatgrass, Chlorophyll & Sunlight Can Do for the Body by Sayer Ji, Founder Have you heard? Humans like plants CAN harvest energy directly from the Sun using the chlorophyll in their food.

What Wheatgrass, Chlorophyll & Sunlight Can Do for the Body 0 0 0 New 0 0 Google + Posted on: Tuesday, March 27th 2018 at 10:30 am Written By: Sayer Ji, Founder This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2018 Visit our Re-post guidelines Video Transcript: What Wheatgrass, Chlorophyll & Sunlight Can Do for Your Body Ty Bollinger: We probably got a couple dozen herbs within a stone’s throw of us right here that will treat cancer, don’t we? Sayer Ji: Absolutely. In fact, that knowledge has been passed down since the origin of life, you know, of our species. We’re just now re-capturing it. People should know though the science is now coming back and confirming that the old wisdom is absolutely scientifically validated. Ty Bollinger: Last question, Sayer. Talk about wheatgrass. Sayer Ji: Oh, wheatgrass. Ty Bollinger: Wheatgrass, with all of this green around here. Sayer Ji: Oh, I love it. Because for me wheatgrass was always a double-edged sword. Because it’s from wheat, and yes, gluten-reduced. I used to actually go get it, use it, work with people that would take it. Some would get sick, some wouldn’t. Some would feel great healing effects. Then you’d see research on how, for example, on the old dog model, it will completely reverse cataracts in some cases. Just giving wheatgrass powder. So when I started looking at the research I’m like there’s more to this. It turns out chlorophyll is an alternative source of energy for the human body. And actually all animals have this ability. Because it goes into the mitochondria as a metabolite. It enables the mitochondria to capture sunlight energy, which photo-energizes the Krebs cycle in such a way that it produces significantly more ATP – which is sort of the energy currency of the body – without increasing oxidative stress. This is a new study that came out last year which completely undermines our classical understanding of our bodies as only being able to eat other things to live. Basically we can, if we have adequate chlorophyll in our diet – wheatgrass being one of the best sources – directly capture the sunlight. And not only it does increase the production and efficiency of ATP in our body, it increases the longevity, at least in the earthworm model which is what they use it for. We will see animal studies and probably human studies soon. Because basically this reclassifies us from heterotrophs which depend on other things, to photo-heterotrophs, which means we can actually take sunlight directly into our body. Keep in mind it doesn’t just mean the wavelengths, that are like you know, obviously the sunlight we see. Red, for example, is a wavelength that goes deep into our tissue as well. It can even penetrate the skull and go into our brain and energize our brain. So this research kind of reveals how—because cancer loves glucose, right? It loves to ferment it, produces all these biomass. The ATP-based model of energy is more about bio-mass and less about how we can actually capture energy to fuel our body.

TOP 20 MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD FOR TOURISTS NOV 25, 2017 AT 02:31 AM 3707931 When the travelling bug bites you, you want to explore as many countries in the world as you possibly can. If you have planned for that long pending holiday that can assist you to relax and let go of the problems you face at your job or at home, you may have wondered about the safety of where you plan to visit. Because holidays are something to be treasured, do not risk ruining them because of bad experiences. The bitter truth is, some nations are better for you to go than others. Earlier this year, the WEF (World Economic Forum) released the annual Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report that studies the travel and tourism sectors in 136 nations worldwide. The additional feature that comes along with the report is ranking the security of these countries. It does not account for petty crimes though; just the extent to which a country exposes businesses as well as tourists to safety risks via terrorism and violence. In no particular order, here are the twenty most dangerous countries that you can consider crossing off your bucket list. THAILAND The country’s southern provinces - Songkhla, Yala, Narathiwat and Pattaya - have gotten a bad reputation for security in the country in the last thirteen years. Pattaya has particularly suffered a spate of muggings by motorcycle operators, and there have been incidences of mugging of tourists by gangs in the area, mostly made up of young boys. More than 6,500 deaths have unfortunately occurred because of violence, and there is a martial law in the region.

The country has a high prevalence of armed bandits and groups in many parts, as well as the armed forces controlling the nation. Because of this, there is a high chance that travelers will come across armoured vehicles, attack helicopters and armed troops. The capital, Kinshasa, is particularly notorious for its crime, both in daylight and evening hours. If you are in the country, avoid taking pictures, do not trust anyone who offers you help, and avoid areas that the locals deem risky.

The country also has the fifth highest homicide rate in the Caribbean and South America last year, as well as other crimes like armed robberies and carjacking. Robbery is gender-neutral in the country, so carrying a money belt for your valuables and using cabs and tour companies is the best way to protect yourself.

A country that has withstood the worst of extremist groups terrorism attacks, the country acting as a base for many of them. Even situations that seem minor such as protests and smaller disputes can sometimes turn violent.

One of the highest crime rates worldwide is in this country; and this includes carjacking, murders, kidnappings and armed robberies. If you are a foreigner you are an easy target because the locals view you as having more money than them, and do not expect justice if robbed - only very few crimes end up being prosecuted. There is also a phenomenon called “virtual kidnappings”, where you fill certain forms. The locals advise against this because it is usual a fraud for gangs to collect information on their family members.

There were more than 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe from 1933 to 1945. There were 30,000 slave labor camps; 1,150 Jewish ghettos; 980 concentration camps; 1000 prisoner of war camps; 500 brothels filled with sex slaves; and thousands of other camps used for euthanizing the elderly and infirm, performing forced abortions, "Germanizing" prisoners or transporting victims to killing centers.

Find Out More > 3,202 The latest revelation [2013] about the Holocaust stuns even the scholars who thought they already knew everything about the horrific details of Germany's program of genocide against the Jewish people. It's taken more than 70 years to finally know the full facts. And what is almost beyond belief is that what really happened goes far beyond what anyone could ever have imagined. For the longest time we have spoken of the tragedy of 6 million Jews. It was a number that represented the closest approximation we could come to the victims of Hitler's plan for a Final Solution. Those who sought to diminish the tragedy claimed 6 million was a gross exaggeration. Others went further and denied the historicity of the Holocaust itself, absurdly claiming the Jews fabricated their extermination to gain sympathy for the Zionist cause. But now we know the truth. The reality was much worse than whatever we imagined. The unspeakable crime of the 20th century, more than the triumph of evil, was the sin of the "innocent" bystander. It wasn't just the huge killing centers whose very names - Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Majdanek, Belzec, Ravensbruck, Sobibar, Treblinka - bring to mind the ghastly images by now so familiar to us. It wasn't just the Warsaw ghetto. It wasn't just the famous sites we've all by now heard of that deservedly live on in everlasting infamy. Researchers at United States Holocaust Memorial Museum have just released documentation that astounds even the most informed scholars steeped in the previously known statistics of German atrocities. Here is some of what has now been conclusively discovered: There were more than 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe from 1933 to 1945. There were 30,000 slave labor camps; 1,150 Jewish ghettos; 980 concentration camps; 1000 prisoner of war camps; 500 brothels filled with sex slaves; and thousands of other camps used for euthanizing the elderly and infirm, performing forced abortions, "Germanizing" prisoners or transporting victims to killing centers.

Simply put, in the words of Hartmut Berghoff, Director of the German Historical Institute in Washington, "The numbers are so much higher than what we originally thought; we knew before how horrible life in the camps and ghettos was, but the actual numbers are unbelievable." And what makes this revelation so important is that it forces us to acknowledge a crucial truth about the Holocaust that many people have tried to ignore or to minimize - a truth that has profound contemporary significance: The unspeakable crime of the 20th century, more than the triumph of evil, was the sin of the "innocent" bystander. For years our efforts to understand the Holocaust focused on the perpetrators. We looked for explanations for the madness of Mengele, the obsessive hatred of Hitler, the impassive cruelty of Eichmann. We sought answers to how it was possible for the criminal elements, the sadists and the mentally unbalanced to achieve the kind of power that made the mass killings feasible. That was because we had no idea of the real extent of the horror. With more than 42,000 ghettos and concentration camps scattered throughout the length and breadth of a supposedly civilized continent, there's no longer any way to avoid the obvious conclusion. The cultured, the educated, the enlightened, the liberal, the refined, the sophisticated, the urbane - all of them share in the shame of a world that lost its moral compass and willingly acceded to the victory of evil. "We had no idea what was happening" needs to be clearly identified as "the great lie" of the years of Nazi power. The harsh truth is that almost everyone had to know. The numbers negate the possibility for collective ignorance. And still the killings did not stop, the torture did not cease, the concentration camps were not closed, the crematoria continued their barbaric task. The "decent" people were somehow able to rationalize their silence. Just last year Mary Fulbrook, a distinguished scholar of German history, in A Small Town Near Auschwitz, wrote a richly and painfully detailed examination of those Germans who, after the war, successfully cast themselves in the role of innocent bystanders. "These people have almost entirely escaped the familiar net of 'perpetrators, victims and bystanders'; yet they were functionally crucial to the eventual possibility of implementing policies of mass murder. They may not have intended or wanted to contribute to this outcome; but, without their attitudes, mentalities, and actions, it would have been virtually impossible for murder on this scale to have taken place in the way that it did. The concepts of perpetrator and bystander need to be amended, expanded, rendered more complex, as our attention and focus shifts to those involved in upholding an ultimately murderous system." Mary Fulbrook singled out for censure those who lived near Auschwitz. But that was before we learned that Auschwitz was replicated many thousands of times over throughout the continent in ways that could not have gone unnoticed by major parts of the populace. Millions of people were witnesses to small towns like Auschwitz in their own backyards. And so Elie Wiesel of course was right. The insight that most powerfully needs to be grasped when we reflect upon the Holocaust's message must be that, "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference." That remains our greatest challenge today. If we dare to hope for the survival of civilization we had better pray that the pessimists are wrong when they claim that the only thing we learn from history is that mankind never learns from history. by Rabbi Benjamin Blech via aish.com

EU greenlights controversial Bayer-Monsanto takeover AFP News AFP News 22 hours ago Reactions Sign in to like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email The EU on Wednesday approved the proposed blockbuster buyout of US agri-giant Monsanto by German chemical firm Bayer after securing concessions in order to win approval. "We have approved Bayer's plans to take over Monsanto because the parties' remedies, worth well over 6 billion euros ($7.4 billion), meet our competition concerns in full," said Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, the EU's anti-trust chief. Brussels launched an in-depth investigation in August into the $66 billion (56-billion-euro) deal, which would create the world's largest integrated pesticides and seeds company and raised alarm among activists. The European Commission, which serves as the powerful anti-trust regulator for the 28-nation European Union, at the time cited concerns it could reduce competition in key products for farmers. Brussels made the decesion despite opposition by environmentalists who fear that the deal gives too much power to the world's leading manufacturers of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the controversial weedkiller glyphosate. The tie-up has already won approval by Chinese authorities, but still awaits the crucial approval by US regulators, which have voiced concerns. The EU has won several concessions from Bayer including the announced sale in October by Bayer of parts of its agrochemical business to German rival BASF. That deal would see Bayer sell the lion's share of its crop seeds units and its glyphosate herbicide business to BASF for 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion). Earlier this month, BASF also committed to buying Bayer's vegetable seed business in a last minute concession to Brussels. Bayer chief executive Werner Baumann said last month that if it receives the Commission's go-ahead, the Monsanto deal could be completed sometime in the second quarter. In a letter to Vestager, the competition commissioner, activists from Friends of Europe warned against the merger due to its consequences for the environment. "Blocking this deeply unpopular merger would be a big win for the EU -– over a million citizens have called on EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager to block this merger from hell," the activists said in a statement. The EU acknowledged the opposition but insisted that it could "assess the merger solely from a competition perspective." "This assessment must be impartial and is subject to the scrutiny of the European Courts," it added. Bayer's takeover is the latest in a wave of consolidation in the competitive and politically sensitive agrochemicals sector. China's state-owned ChemChina has completed its $43 billion takeover of Switzerland's Syngenta, and the nearly $150 billion tie-up of US giants Dow Chemical and DuPont has also been completed.

China and the Philippines said Wednesday they will cautiously proceed with discussions on joint oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea, further reversing years of tensions over their competing claims to the region. The two states have long been embroiled in a bitter dispute over the waterway -- with China claiming nearly the entire sea -- but Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has in recent years softened his predecessors' policy of opposing Beijing's claims. The countries will "in a prudent and steady way advance cooperation on offshore oil and gas exploration", Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi told reporters after meeting Philippine Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano.

China, Philippines agree 'prudent' cooperation on joint sea exploration AFP News AFP News 14 hours ago March 22 Thu, 2018 News China, Philippines agree 'prudent' cooperation on joint sea exploration AFP News AFP News 14 hours ago Reactions Sign in to like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano (L) and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi agreed to discuss joint oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea China and the Philippines said Wednesday they will cautiously proceed with discussions on joint oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea, further reversing years of tensions over their competing claims to the region. The two states have long been embroiled in a bitter dispute over the waterway -- with China claiming nearly the entire sea -- but Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has in recent years softened his predecessors' policy of opposing Beijing's claims. The countries will "in a prudent and steady way advance cooperation on offshore oil and gas exploration", Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi told reporters after meeting Philippine Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano. "The South China Sea disputes will no longer be a source of negative energy blocking the development of bilateral ties," he added. The Philippines said earlier this month it was in talks with a Chinese state firm over joint exploration and extraction in the strategic and supposedly resource-rich sea. Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam also claim all or part of the sea, and proposed cooperation between Manila and Beijing has caused alarm among neighbouring Southeast Asian countries in the past. Cayetano said at the press conference that China and the Philippines "are finding a common legal framework to conduct joint exploration and surveys". "Our relationship... is in a golden period, and with very positive momentum," he said, adding that the countries "are now ready to face more challenges together". However no further details on the nature of the agreed cooperation were given. Cayetano said last month that Manila would consult legal experts to make sure any accord would not infringe Philippine sovereign rights. Duterte has described a proposed deal as akin to "co-ownership" of contested areas, saying this was preferable to the "massacre" of Filipino troops in a war with China. Duterte's willingness to cooperate with China marks a turnaround from the stance of predecessor Benigno Aquino who accused Beijing of encroaching, occupying, and building structures on reefs and rocks that Manila claims as part of its exclusive economic zone. Aquino won an international arbitration tribunal ruling in 2016 invalidating Beijing's claims, but Duterte set aside the ruling while courting investments and trade from the Philippines' giant neighbour, the world's second-largest economy.

Believe in your own Divine nature

Despite the varying religious backgrounds that the world offers, all religions have one thing in common - a belief that their deity ordains each person's existence here on earth, usually through direct assistance in the birth process by the creation and gifting of a soul. That means that you are here because the omnipotent creator of the Universe thinks it's a good idea. And also, it follows by simple logic that if you are here, and alive, then some part of you (your soul or some other version of life force) is literally God-derived and often enough there is a direct and personal interest on the part of the deity in your being alive and doing the work you were sent here to do. How can you possibly fail with a genealogy and support system like that? Remember your Source, and that you wouldn't be here unless you were supposed to be here. On top of all that, imagine how much spiritual horsepower you must have at your disposal to use, considering the Divine nature of the life force that's running your engine! It's a monument to the ability of the human psyche to generate artificial and self-imposed limitations that you manage to fail at anything!

5 Body Language Signs That Reveal If A Person Is Dangerous

5 Body Language Signs That Reveal If A Person Is Dangerous Please Share This Page: 37K 3 Instagram 15 77 7 Google + 0 stumbleupon 2 tumblr 10 reddit 84 5 Body Language Signs That Reveal If A Person Is Dangerous Situational awareness is an important tool in your survival arsenal. Most of the time, simply seeing the danger that lies ahead can give you a leg up on most people who drift through life oblivious of any dangers. The key to situational awareness is keen observation – observation of situations, things and even people. And it’s the people subset of situational awareness that comprises the study of body language – the study of those around you. Body language is something we all give off, mostly unconsciously. It manifests itself in subconscious postures, facial expressions and hand positions. The way we carry ourselves speaks volumes to those who can discern what the signs mean; most amateurs look only at the face, but there is much more to observe. Before we delve into what to look for, a fundamental question must be answered: why even bother observing body language? There are three primary reasons: • Body language gives us advance warning about the actions that a person or group of people are about to undertake. • Body language gives us a window into the person’s mind, telling us what their current emotional state is. • Body language is an early warning device built into every single human being. In short, the way a person carries themselves at a particular instant in time gives us a valuable insight as to whether they represent a threat to us or not. Here’s what to look for: 1. The Face: The face is on one hand the most expressive body part we posses, and on the other hand, the most easily manipulated. Experts are able to meticulously control their facial expressions so as to be unreadable (eg. the poker face) while amateurs will crack nervous grins and will sport numerous facial twitches. Ignore the signs that can be controlled and thus manipulated, and focus on those that cannot: • Pupil dilation: The human fight or flight reaction is something few people can control; the brain signals the body to dump adrenaline into the bloodstream raising the heart rate and dilating the pupils (making them larger). As the pupils dilate, the peripheral vision narrows – it is a mechanism designed to have us face the threat directly. People about to act aggressively or perform a violent act will usually have their pupils dilated the size of pie plates. • Pulse: As aggression or impulse builds, the heart rate increases as does blood pressure. The net result of this is a pounding pulse which is visible in the neck and temples. Again, this is difficult or impossible for most people to control. • Sweat: An increased heart rate causes involuntary perspiration, which again, not even professionals can adequately control. • Mouth: Besides obvious expressions, an open mouth often occurs when a person can’t get enough air from just their nose and is breathing rapidly. 2. Upper Torso: The upper torso reveals two important clues to those keen enough to observe them. The first clue is the shoulders – are the shoulders hanging naturally in a relaxed pose, or are they tight and raised? A person who is about to strike or move will often telegraph this intention by the way he carries his shoulders. The second clue is the upper chest area, where it pertains to respiration. Normally, men are stomach breathers while women are chest breathers, but when the action amps up, both sexes tend to breathe in a shallow manner from their chest. Look for the rapid rise and fall of the chest as evidence of breathing hard. 3. Hands and Arms: As one astute police officer said – feet never killed anyone. The reference was to the fact that overwhelmingly, hands hovering around the waistband represent a threat. At any moment, the person could produce a weapon, and so it’s important to watch the hands closely at all times. While things like balled fists are an obvious sign of aggression, keep in mind that many attacks come from the position of crossed arms, or hands in pockets. 4. Legs and Feet: Primarily, what we are looking for here is stance. As often happens subconsciously, people will tend to blade themselves towards a perceived threat. Blading refers to a combat style stance, where the dominant foot is behind the non-dominant foot and about shoulder width apart. Blading also serves as a dual clue – most people carrying a concealed weapon will subconsciously blade the weapon side away from the threat, both to protect it and to conceal it. 5. The Whole Package: Lastly, look for movement warning signs, nervous twitches that signal that the person is about to act. Two common signs of impending action are pacing and standing on the balls of their feet. Many attacks begin with a person pacing back and forth and then launching an attack at about the midpoint; many flights or escapes begin with the person getting up on the balls of their feet, much as a runner would before the starting gun goes off. Your ability to recognize the above early warning signs could give you valuable seconds in which to act, potentially saving yourself or averting disaster. By Adam C – www.offthegridnews.com

7.2 magnitude earthquake shakes southern Mexico Yahoo News Photo StaffYahoo News Photo Staff18 February 2018 Mexico appeared Saturday to have escaped major destruction after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake rattled the country, but it rekindled fears in a population that still sees daily reminders of deadly earthquakes that struck five months ago. The Interior Department said in a statement that 50 homes suffered significant structural damage in Santiago Jamiltepec, Oaxaca state, along with other damage to the city hall and main church. The national electricity commission said nearly 1 million users lost power, but it was expected to be restored over the course of the day. But a military helicopter carrying officials assessing damage from the quake crashed in the country’s south late Friday, killing 13 people and injuring 15, all of them on the ground.

Best First Class beds in the sky, from Singapore Airlines’ suites to Etihad Airways’ apartments The Independent Cynthia Drescher,The Independent 15 hours ago Reactions Like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email Carriers have upped their game when it comes to flying first class: Singapore Airlines What does it mean to fly in first class? Does this golden ticket mean you’ve made it in life or perhaps you’re still on the way up? Regardless, different people have varying expectations when it comes to living the high life. Some want to be plied with food and drink until reaching their destination, while others pay a premium for the comfort, privacy and quiet required to sleep all the way through. Although no two airlines share the exact same premium cabin, there are qualities that can elevate an aeroplane seat from merely that – a seat – to a comfortable sleeping surface. Passenger feedback has led to airlines prioritising personal space, privacy and quality bedding in first class and that’s excellent news for those who have the money or miles to spend for a ticket in a luxury seat. Here are 10 of the best first class seats for sleeping – with a fan of each explaining why frequent flyers love them. Air France's La Premiere The bedside lamp is dimmed, the remnants of your dinner – from a menu designed by Chef Daniel Boulud – have been cleared and there’s a fresh flute of champagne waiting as a nightcap while you sink back into crisp, white sheets and a fluffy duvet. Is this a luxury hotel room in Paris? No, this is 35,000ft above the ocean, but chic, Parisian hotel is the vibe Air France channels with the design of La Premiere, their first class cabin. Air France La Premiere offers exquisite bedding (Air France) With a bed measuring 30in wide and six-and-a-half feet long when fully flat, it’s one of the largest sleeping surfaces available on a commercial aircraft. La Premiere is best enjoyed on the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER, with its intimate cabin of only four suites (versus nine on the Airbus A380) and floor-to-ceiling curtains with a magnetic closure that provide ultimate privacy for each individual seat. A fan says: “I love the pillows and bedding – can’t forget the memory foam mattress pad – all by Sofitel, the luxury French hotel chain. The design of the suite is very sophisticated yet cosy.” Sam Chui, Dubai-based frequent flyer and vlogger of premium airline seat reviews. (samchui.com) Worth it for: The ultra-private cabin of only four suites on the 777. Best for: Gourmands and Francophiles. Cathay Pacific Pad off to the lavatory to change into a complimentary sleep suit, designed by Hong Kong tailor PYE and return to your seat to find it turned down with 500-thread-count cotton duvets, pillows and cushions (and pralines for sweet dreams). Underneath the sheets, the first class seat itself is equipped with massage functions to aid with stress relief and relaxation. The airline has a range of services to help you relax (Cathay Pacific) A fan says: “It’s not one of the newer products out there, but Cathay Pacific’s first class provides a really reliable sleep. The seat is wide – they’ve arranged first class seats three-across rather than the standard four-across – and the bedding is comfortable. Crew stay out of the cabin while you sleep, coming only when called.” Gary Leff, travel expert and ViewFromTheWing blogger. (viewfromthewing.com) Worth it for: Reliably excellent service. Best for: Sideways sleepers and travellers who enjoy ample shoulder room Etihad Airways A380 Hit the do not disturb button, slide the door to your suite closed and grab the pillow mist and pulse-point oil from your personal vanity of amenities before sliding into the 6ft 10in bed in the First Apartment suites onboard Etihad’s Airbus A380. Hidden away and separate from the leather seat, the bed is folded out and prepared by a flight attendant while you’re down the aisle, having a shower. Yes, this is one of those planes with onboard shower suites and only a few feet away is The Residence, the singular three-room suite with a private bathroom and shower plus separate bedroom, that’s in a class of its own. The apartments offer supreme privacy (Etihad) A mattress, duvet, cotton sheets and pillows and a richly plush throw blanket make up the first class bed’s sleeping surface, finished with a goodnight note placed on the pillow. The suites are so large that, despite being on a “superjumbo” aircraft, there is only one on each side of the aisle, making a total of nine. Couples travelling together can even lower a partition to partially join beds, though only from the waist up. A fan says: “This has become the benchmark by which I measure all my flying experiences. Flying from Sydney to Abu Dhabi, the food menu looked so good that I told the onboard chef to ‘surprise me’. He responded by coming and chatting with me in my suite about what flavours I like and dislike and then he went off-menu and delivered a wholly personalised main course. Of course watching a movie while tucked into bed and falling asleep, fully comfortable, as the credits rolled, is another excellent memory.” Cynthia Drescher, aviation journalist. Worth it for: A personalised experience and envy-inducing selfies. Best for: Those who fantasise about private jets. Singapore Airlines A380 Designed by French luxury yacht designer Jean-Jacques Coste, the original suites of Singapore Airlines’ highest cabin class ignited a frenzy for luxury, lay-flat beds on aircraft when they premiered on the airline’s Airbus A380 in 2007. Couples posing for selfies with Champagne (Krug or Dom Perignon, as both are served), tucked into their double beds (two suites, paired) at 38,000ft dropped jaws at a time when low-cost airlines were making headlines for slicing space. A decade on, the suites still rank among the best beds in the sky. Sliding doors close to ensure privacy and the bed itself is a separate surface from the seat, eliminating lumps and bumps. As Singapore Airlines’ route map includes some of the longest flights in the world, the airline understands the importance of being able to enjoy quality rest while en route. Singapore Airlines’ suites have set a new standard in luxury (Singapore Airlines) In November the airline unveiled an evolution of the suites and its amenities, nearly doubling personal space in each and introducing amenity kits by French luxury brand Lalique. This design, by yacht and private jet design studio Pierrejean, expands the separate bed and seat concept and more closely mirrors a luxury hotel room than a plane cabin. A fan says: “I love Singapore’s Suites because, on the Airbus A380, it’s a proper bed and if you can get the double it’s beyond great. I think any time you can have a dedicated bed it’s better for sleep. I like firmer beds, which Singapore’s are, so it’s better for me than first class beds on other airlines.” Amol Koldhekar, frequent flyer and Travel Codex blogger. (travelcodex.com) Worth it for: The devoted attentiveness of the cabin crew. Best for: Couples travelling together on a celebratory trip. SWISS The first class cabin on long-haul SWISS flights is a reserved affair, but what the seats lack in glitz they make up for in thoughtfulness. For example, the firmness of the seat is fully adjustable and privacy partitions extend to close off your suite from the aisle (and eyes of other passengers). The airline serves over 100 destinations and offers care-intensive services (SWISS) Even for restless passengers who simply cannot sleep on planes, the SWISS seat is excellent; there’s a 32in flat-screen in each of the eight suites, ideal for watching films while tucked in. A fan says: “The seat, especially on the Boeing 777-300ER, is the perfect width and offers plenty of privacy without feeling claustrophobic. When reclined, the bed is long enough for both back and side sleepers to have abundant foot space. And beds are made up with pristine white linens that reflect the traditions of Swiss hospitality: a plush mattress pad, large pillows that are firm yet squishable and oversized duvets that are comfortingly heavy without being too warm.” Tiffany Funk, One Mile at a Time blogger. (onemileatatime.boardingarea.com) Worth it for: The pristine and exacting service. Best for: Business travellers relying on a solid sleep before a big day. Japan Airlines’ JAL Suite Nothing may be better than sleeping in your own bed, but at least Japan Airlines’ first class services make an attempt at bringing sweet home on board. Offered on board their Boeing 777-300ER on routes between Tokyo and New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, London and Paris, the first-class suite beds measure six-and-a-half-feet long fully flat and are topped with custom-made Airweave pillows and mattress pads, the latter flipped to your personal preference of a soft or firm sleeping surface. Passengers can choose a soft or firm sleeping surface (Japan Airlines) Turndown for female passengers is more than just a chocolate on the pillow; flight attendants deliver a gift of face cleanser, toner and a moisturising sheet mask from Cle de Peau Beaute, while male guests receive Shiseido products. A fan says: “I would say the Japan Airlines first class sleep experience is among the best in the world. The flight attendants made up the bed shortly after I was finished with my meal and when I got back to my seat after changing into my pyjamas, it definitely looked and felt like climbing into a bed on the ground, not one 36,000ft in the air. I like the width and length of the bed and the mattress pad that provides both hard and soft comfort for passengers. The bedding and pillows were very comfortable and I enjoyed six hours of uninterrupted sleep on the way to Tokyo.” Alex Navitsky, New York-based frequent flyer and aviation writer. Worth it for: The incredible, multi-course kaiseki meal and a comfortable seat-bed for sleeping it off. Best for: Foodies and Japanophiles. Emirates 777 An early holiday present arrived for first class passengers flying on select Emirates Boeing 777-300ER routes when, in early December, the airline introduced a completely refreshed first class seat, complete with LED star lights in the carpeting and overhead panels, faux windows with live-streamed camera views for the otherwise windowless middle suites and privacy doors that reach from floor to ceiling. Although the seat and bed are one in the same for these suites, unlike Emirates’ competitors who have introduced separate bed-and-seat suites, a function does shift the seat to the centre of the suite when in lay-flat bed mode, giving the passenger more room on both sides for sleeping-in-any-position comfort. Emirates refreshed its first class seat in December (Emirates) A fan says: “For starters, it feels a bit awkward sleeping next to strangers, something any passenger can agree with. So having the fully closed doors gives a sense of comfort that definitely makes it more natural. The crew does a great job of actually making your bed from a seemingly endless supply of duvets and pillows. Plus you have your little personal mini bar so you can snack in between naps. The seat is really wide, the arm rests disappear and after enjoying the onboard shower, it feels oddly appropriate to just close your door, press the do not disturb button and zonk out.” Gilbert Ott, travel commentator and points and miles blogger at God Save The Points (godsavethepoints.com). Worth it for: The bling factor. Best for: Treat-yourself travellers. Qantas The Qantas first class suite may not have a privacy door or a chef waiting in the wings to personalise your meal, but it does offer one of the longest beds in the sky, measuring 6ft 11in when fully deployed. When it’s time to sleep, a flight attendant turns down the suite with the addition of a foam mattress with a sheepskin overlay and cotton bedding. Activate the do not disturb button to ensure peace. Qantas offers one of the longest beds in the sky (Qantas) A fan says: “I’d say Qantas first class offers one of the best sleep experiences in the sky. While Qantas’s suites aren’t fully enclosed, they’re incredibly spacious and the bedding is excellent. They even recently introduced a pillow menu in first class, with three options to suit every preference.” Ben Schlappig, frequent first class flyer and blogger at One Mile at a Time (onemileatatime.boardingarea.com). Worth it for: Making the long flight to or from Australia a treat. Best for: Tall travellers. Lufthansa Lufthansa’s highest cabin class boasts the usual luxuries of first, with a caviar service, multi-course meal, a small and quiet cabin and fully flat bed, but it’s the on-the-ground services which truly set it apart. First class travellers are whisked to and from planes at select airports by private car transfer (yes, even on the tarmac) and at Frankfurt, this means a stop at the standalone terminal exclusively reserved for first class, where passengers are soothed with a range of ways to prepare for the deep, in-flight sleep ahead. These include dining at the terminal’s sit-down restaurant, relaxing in a soaking tub or finishing up pressing work in a private office. The airlines' on-the-ground services set it apart (Lufthansa) A fan says: “My wife says flying in First on Lufthansa’s Boeing 747-400 was her best sleeping experience due to the separate bed. I would agree, as it wasn’t a confining space, which is important for me since I’m 6ft 5in.” James Merrill, Vancouver-based frequent flyer. Worth it for: A seriously luxurious ground experience, with a private terminal and Porsche transfers straight to the plane for first class flyers. Best for: European travellers who want to enjoy the layover as much as the flight. Thai Airways Royal By the time you reach your seat in first class on a long-haul Thai Airways flight, you’ll be relaxed and ready for a solid sleep. This is ensured by the airline’s dedicated first class lounge at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, where its Royal Orchid Spa exists to treat first class flyers to complimentary full-body treatments, including a Touch of Silk oil massage or a Thai massage. Passengers can enjoy the Royal Orchid Spa at Bangkok Airport (Thai Airways ) Onboard, the 26in-wide seats may be spacious, but the cabin even includes a small lounge area that has just the right amount of space for passengers to indulge in some pre or post-sleep stretching. A fan says: “I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping while flying Royal Thai First. It’s a comfortable seat that turns into a flat bed, with added privacy, all making for a comfortable ride. A sumptuous meal, rounded off with free-flowing Dom Perignon, certainly helped with the sleeping experience.” @starflyergold, Brussels-based frequent flyer. Worth it for: The luxury touches at every turn. Best for: Spa snobs.

There’s an actual stairway to Heaven — with 999 steps — in China 16 January 2018

From the center of Zhangjiajie in China’s Hunan province, visitors load onto the Tianmen Mountain Cableway. Over the next half-hour, the cable car will climb almost 24,500 feet to the top of Tianmen Mountain. At the end, the riders step out onto the “Gateway to Heaven.” Related: This Glass Bridge in China Is Made to Look Like It’s About to Shatter At about 5,000 feet above sea level, Tianmen Cave is the highest naturally formed arch in the world — which has given the landmark its famous moniker. The impressive views and unique formation are the reason most people trek up the mountain. image To reach the fantastic landmark, visitors must walk up 999 steps on the “stairway to heaven.” Nine is a lucky number in Chinese numerology, representing good fortune and eternity. Those who wish to avoid the long cable car can opt to take a bus up a narrow roadway that bends back on itself 99 times. image The cave itself is about 430 feet tall and 190 feet wide. It used to be a fairly ordinary cave until the year 263 A.D., when one side of the mountain’s cliff collapses and created the portal to heaven. Although be careful to whom you tell this origin story. Some believe that the cave’s creation is a mystery, which only strengthens its Tianmen’s reputation as a holy mountain. image Visitors who want to pay homage to the attraction’s religious nature can visit the Tianmenshan Temple, which was built in the year 870 A.D. It claims to be the Buddhist center of Western Hunan. It’s also possible to walk around the surrounding park for equally incredible views. There are a few cliff-hanging walkways (including three made of glass) where visitors can get closer to the geopark and the sacred Chinese mountain. 177 SHARES

How is ATP produced in cells; what is the difference between the energy-producing process in animal cells and plant cells? How much ATP is produced? Question Date: 2010-01-27 Answer 1: You have asked a classic question in biology, and of course, a very important one. How living things produce usable energy is important not only from the perspective of understanding life, but it could also help us to design more efficient energy harvesting and producing products - if we could "mimic" how living cells deal with their energy balance, we might be able to vastly improve our technology. For example, a plant is a much better harvester of sunlight than even our best solar panel. And of course, if we understand energy use, it can also help us deal with human diseases such as diabetes. Now, the answer to your question can be found in any basic biology text book, but sometimes, there is so much information packed into such a text book that it can be difficult to extract the information you need or more often, to view all of that information in a larger context. Let's try to tackle your question in several parts. First, we need to know what ATP really is - chemically, it is known as adenosine triphosphate. ATP is a usable form of energy for cells - the energy is "trapped" in a chemical bond that can be released and used to drive other reactions that require energy (endergonic reactions). Photosynthetic organisms use energy from sunlight to synthesize their own fuels. They can convert harvested sunlight into chemical energy (including ATP) to then drive the synthesis of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water. When they synthesize the carbohydrates, oxygen gets released. Globally, more than 10 billion tons of carbon is "fixed" by plants every year - this means that carbon molecules are converted from being part of a simple gas (carbon dioxide) into more complex, reduced molecules (carbohydrates), making carbon available as food for non-photosynthesizers (and of course, providing oxygen). They use some of the carbohydrate for their own growth and reproduction. It is pretty remarkable when you think about it - have you been to Sequoia National Park or seen the redwoods along our northwest coast? Massive trees, right? Think about the fact that most of that mass is in the form of carbon that was pulled out of the air as carbon dioxide! The process of photosynthesis is two-part. First, there are the light reactions, where light is converted into chemical energy (a reduced electron carrier and ATP). This occurs in the thylakoids (stacked membranes) of the chloroplasts. The ATP and electron carriers are then used in a second set of reactions, called the light-independent reactions. This also occurs in the chloroplasts, but in an area called the stroma. In this case, carbon dioxide gets used to produce sugars in a series of reactions called the Calvin Cycle, C4 photosynthesis, and crassulacean acid metabolism. You can look in any basic bio textbook to see how much "energy" or "sugar" is produced in each step of the process. In non-photosynthesizers, the fuel has to be consumed. The most common chemical fuel is the sugar glucose (C6H12O6)... Other molecules, such as fats or proteins, can also supply energy, but (usually) they have to first be converted to glucose or some intermediate that can be used in glucose metabolism. Now this brings us to the next part - how do we go from glucose to ATP? This is achieved through the process of "oxidation" - and this is carried out through a series of metabolic pathways. Complex chemical transformations in the cell occur in a series of separate reactions to form each pathway, and each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. Interestingly, metabolic pathways are similar in all organisms, from bacteria to humans. In eukaryotes (plants and animals) many of the metabolic pathways are compartmentalized, with certain reactions occurring in specific organelles. Basically, cells trap free energy released from the breakdown (metabolism) of glucose. This energy gets trapped in the ATP as it converts from ADP to ATP by the addition of phosphate. There are 3 main pathways for harvesting energy from glucose: Glycolysis - begins glucose metabolism in all cells to produce 2 molecules of pyruvate. Occurs outside of mitochondria, usually in cytoplasm. Cellular Respiration - uses oxygen from the environment and converts each pyruvate to three molecules of carbon dioxide while trapping the energy released in this process in ATP. There are 3 sub-pathways of cellular respiration - pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid (Krebs or Tricarboxylic Acid) cycle and the electron transport chain. Occurs in different sub-compartments of mitochondria. Fermentation - converts pyruvate into lactic acid or ethanol; does not need oxygen. It is not as efficient as cellular respiration; it occurs in the cytoplasm. In terms of how much ATP is produced, you can look in your basic texts and assess how many ATPs are used versus how many are produced for each aspect of metabolism Answer 2: ATP is created through a complex enzyme-driven process. There are a couple of ways this works in cells: -glycolysis, in which glucose is broken up into two subunits, called pyruvate, which creates two units of ATP per molecule of glucose. This happens in the cytoplasm, in both animal and plant cells. -respiration, in which pyruvate is combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, which creates a lot of ATP per unit of pyruvate (16 I think). Obviously, glycolysis has to happen first, in order to make the pyruvate. This happens in the mitochondrion, which likewise exists in both animals and plants. -light-dependent photosynthesis, in which electrons are cycled around photosynthetic pigments after being jostled around by mid-high-energy photons (light particles), which filter through an electron pump that makes ATP. This happens in chloroplasts, and as such only occurs in plants. Note: there is one more major (eukaryotic) ATP-generating reaction, called "fermentation", which takes pyruvate and turns it into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. Neither animals nor plants can do this, but fungi can do it. There is also light-independent photosynthesis, which USES ATP and creates glucose from carbon dioxide and water, producing oxygen as a waste product. This is really an energy storage mechanism, so that the organism doing it can later burn the glucose through glycolysis and respiration. This also happens in chloroplasts, so plants can, and animals can't.

Seven Years Later Fukushima Radiation Levels Spiking to Lethal Levels Feb 07, 2018 04:22 pm Alex Pietrowski - The latest news from Japan further chips away at the possibility of a favorable outcome.

SEVEN YEARS LATER FUKUSHIMA RADIATION LEVELS SPIKING TO LETHAL LEVELS February 7, 2018 21000 Like Alex Pietrowski, Staff Writer Waking Times Some seven years after the disaster at Fukushima, there is a new crisis at Fukushima, and TEPCO, the energy company responsible for the failed nuclear plant, has issued a statement warning of lethal levels of radiation now detected at the plant. TEPCO reportedly made this discovery last month in a reactor containment vessel, signaling that attempts to locate and remove spent fuel rods has failed. The situation is apparently more dangerous than ever, as noted by the Independent: “The energy firm found eight sieverts per hour of radiation, while 42 units were also detected outside its foundations. A sievert is defined as the probability of cancer induction and genetic damage from exposure to a dose of radiation, by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). One sievert is thought to carry with it a 5.5 per cent chance of eventually developing cancer.” [Source] As we reported last year, it appears that the 40-year plan to contain Fukushima is already failing, and this latest news from Japan further chips away at the possibility of a favorable outcome. “The real work of dealing with highly volatile spent fuel is still close to impossible, and that many of the 40 year plans efforts have already failed, such as the underground ice wall which was supposed to prevent radioactive materials from leeching into surrounding soil and water.” ~Alex Pietrowski The first impact on our health from a failure to contain this disaster will be a sharp rise in the increase of cancer for those nearest to Fukushima, including Tokyo, and for those down river of the flow of contaminated water being pumped into the Pacific. This means the northwestern coastal regions of North America. READ: FUKUSHIMA – THE UNTOUCHABLE ECO-APOCALYPSE NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT Evidence of this is already being seen, and in 2016, ScienceMag reported on a sharp rise of ‘mystery cancers’ cropping up in children since the 2011 catastrophe. Attributing these cases to fallout from Fukushima is a contentious issue, highly debated among experts and related scientists. For those who have developed thyroid cancer, however, speaking out is troublesome. In 2016, a young woman from Japan who developed thyroid cancer spoke out about the challenges those with concerns of pubic safety after the disaster face. In an article at CBS News, she describes how many are being silenced. CBS reports: “When the group held a news conference in Tokyo in March, it connected by live video feed with two fathers with children with thyroid cancer, but their faces were not shown, to disguise their identities. They criticized the treatment their children received and said they’re not certain the government is right in saying the cancer and the nuclear meltdowns are unrelated.” [Source] Regarding the recent news about elevated and lethal levels of radiation being detected at present, the Independent spoke with Richard Black, director of the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit. Black is very concerned about the situation, saying: “Finding high readings in the reactor is normal, it’s where the molten fuel is, it would be bizarre if it wasn’t. I find it symptomatic of the past seven years, in that they don’t know what they’re doing, Tepco, these energy companies haven’t a clue what they’re doing, so to me it’s been going wrong from the beginning. It’s a disaster of unseen proportions. This is an area of the planet that gets hit by tornadoes and all kinds of heavy weather patterns, which is a problem. When you have waste stored above ground in inappropriate ways, it can get washed out and you can get contamination all over the place. This can get problematic anytime, if it contaminates the ocean there is no local contamination, the ocean is global, so anything that goes into the ocean goes to everyone. It needs to be clear that this problem is not gone, this is not just a local problem. It’s a very major thing.” [Source] Read more articles by Alex Pietrowski.

Will there literally be streets of gold in heaven? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Email Address Submit streets of gold Question: "Will there literally be streets of gold in heaven?" Answer: Heaven’s streets of gold are often referenced in song and poetry, but harder to find in the Bible. In fact, there is only one passage of Scripture that references streets of gold and that is in the Holy City, the New Jerusalem: “The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass” (Revelation 21:21). So does this verse tell us that there will literally be streets of gold in heaven? And, if so, what is the importance or significance of literal streets of gold? The Greek word translated “gold” is chrusion, which can mean “gold, gold jewelry, or overlay.” So to translate it “gold” makes complete and perfect sense. In fact, struggles of interpretation often come up when people attempt to determine which parts of the Bible to take literally and which parts to take figuratively. A good rule of thumb when studying the Bible is to take everything literally, unless it doesn't make sense to do so. And in this chapter of Revelation, John isn’t just throwing out random descriptive terms. In the early parts of Revelation 21, he is given a rod to measure out the city (verse15), and he specifically describes the wall of heaven as being composed of jasper and the city itself also of gold (verse18). He also describes the foundations of the city walls being comprised of many specific precious stones and jewels (verses19–20). So with these specifics in mind, the description of golden streets makes perfect sense in comparison to the rest of John's eyewitness description. So, if heaven’s streets are made of gold, what is the point? First, notice the condition of the gold. When gold is uncovered on earth, it is not in the desirable condition that jewelers are looking for. The gold must be smelted in order that impurities float to the top for removal, leaving only the pure gold behind. The gold that John saw in heaven was of such quality that it appears to be transparent in order to reflect the pure light of God’s blazing glory. And God’s ability to purify is not confined only to gold; God has purified all who will enter His heaven through the blood of Jesus Christ. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Not only is God’s holy city one of purity by His design, so are the citizens of that city. As we investigate this idea of golden streets further, there are some teachers and scholars who do not hold to the idea that heaven’s golden streets are literal. However, by looking simply at the text God has given us within the context of the entirety of John’s revelation, there seems to be no reason to doubt it. However, our attention in eternity will hardly be focused on earthly treasures. While man pursues treasures like gold on earth, one day it will simply be no more than a source of pavement for the believer in heaven. No matter how many precious jewels or materials make up the physical construction of heaven, nothing will ever be of greater value than the God who loves us and died to save us.

(24:3-51) The end of the world will be signaled by wars, famines, disease, and earthquakes (6-7). And that's just "the beginning of sorrows" (8). Next believers will be hated and killed by unbelievers (9), believers will hate and betray each other (10), false prophets will fool people (11), iniquity will abound and love wax cold (12). But hey, if you make through all that, you'll be saved (13). Only one more thing will happen before the end comes: the gospel will be preached throughout the world (14). Well, that and the abomination of desolations will stand in the holy place (15), many false Christs and false prophets will show great signs and wonders (24), the sun and moon will be darkened and the stars will fall (29), the sign of the son of Man will appear in the sky, everyone on earth will mourn, and then, finally, the great and powerful son of Man will come in all his glory (30). Oh, and all these things will happen within the lifespan of Jesus' contemporaries (34). Or maybe not. Jesus was talking about things he knew nothing about (36). (See Mark 13:32.) (24:3) "Tell us, ... what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" (24:6) "Wars and rumours of wars" (24:7) "Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes." (24:8) "All these are the beginning of sorrows." (24:9) "Then shall they ... kill you: and ye shall be hated." (24:10) "Then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another." (24:11) "Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." (24:12) "Iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.." (24:13) "He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." What must you do to be saved? (24:14) "This gospel ... shall be preached in all the world ... and then shall the end come." Jesus says the gospel will be preached to all nations "and then shall the end come." But in Matthew 10:23, he said the end would come before the gospel was preached to all the cities of Israel. In any case, this is a false prophecy since the gospel has been preached throughout the world (as Paul says in Romans 10:18) yet the world hasn't ended. When will the world end? When did Jesus say he would return? (24:15) "When ye ... see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" If you see the abomination of desolation in the holy place, try to understand. God is trying to say something. (24:16) "Let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains." Why? Can't God find and kill them there, too? (24:19) "Woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days." Why? Does God especially hate pregnant and nursing women? (24:20) "Pray ye that your flight be not ... on the sabbath day." Is it necessary to keep the Sabbath? (24:24) "There shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders." Jesus himself, according to Acts 2:22, fits this description. (24:29) "The sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven." Apparently, Jesus believed that the moon produces its own light, and that the stars are lights held in place by a firmament only a few miles above our heads. (24:30) "Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all ... the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." Will Jesus' second coming be visible to all? (24:31) "He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect." (24:32-33) "Learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors." Based on these verses, Hal Linsey's The Late, Great Planet Earth predicted that the end of the world would occur before 1988. The fig tree represents Israel, Israel came back to life in 1948, and Jesus said the end would come within one generation (40 years). (24:34) "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Jesus was a false prophet, since he predicted that the end of the world will come within the lifetimes of his disciples. The world didn't end then, and according to Ec.1:4 it never will. What the Bible says about the end of the world Speaking of false prophets, the Jehovah's Witnesses used to interpret this verse to mean that some of those who witnessed Jesus' return in 1914 would still be alive when Armageddon happened. Now that those alive in 1914 are now pretty much dead, the JWs have given up on this prediction. (24:35) "Heaven and earth shall pass away." With the earth last forever? (24:36) "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." The best and earliest Greek manuscripts say, "not the angels of heaven, neither the son, but the Father only." But apparently it bothered the scribes that there were some things Jesus didn't know, so they fixed it by omitting the phrase, "neither the son." (Bart D. Ehrman, Misquoting Jesus (2005), p.95) (24:37) "As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Jesus believed that Noah's flood actually happened and he had no problem with drowning everyone on earth. It'll be just like that when he returns. (24:44) "In such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." (24:45) "Who then is a faithful and wise servant?" For JWs, this is the most important verse in the bible. It is the basis of their central dogma, that the governing body of the Jehovah's Witnesses is the "faithful and wise servant," or as the NWT puts it "the faithful and discrete slave." As such, the governing body must be obeyed in all matters and all of their teachings must be accepted. Those who do so will survive Armageddon; those who do not, will not. (24:48-51) "That evil servant ... The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him ... And shall cut him asunder, and ... there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." God will come when people least expect him. Then he'll "cut [them] asunder." And "there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." What the Bible says about torture 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 24:25 Behold, I have told you before. 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 24:36 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 24:49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Don't be deceived by false Christs. Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 24:4-5 Don't worry about wars and rumors of wars. Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 24:6 f anyone says to you, "Lo, here is Christ" or "Lo, there he is", don't believe it. If any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 24:23-24 Learn a fig tree parable. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 24:32-33 Watch. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 24:42 Be ready for the coming of the Son of man. Be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 24:44 http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/mt/24.html http://icfkingdomofheaven.blogspot.com/2018/01/mayon-volcano-has-explosive-eruption.html
