The website you've been eagerly working on is finally ready to go live. You're excited – and a tad nervous, aren't you?
Whether it's your personal brand or your company website, it represents you, and you want to dazzle the visitors to your site. So check these 5 things one last time before you launch your website, and then welcome it into the online world!
Your content might be amazing, but poor spelling and bad grammar can be highly distracting. You don't want to lose potential customers this way, do you? Proofread, always!
Your website is meant to support and further your business, so have content that points visitors in that direction. Of course, as the author of your site, you can get as creative as you want, but ensure it's within business relevance. Do not forget to check the content for your blog as well and what to check before publishing it.
SEO, search engine optimization, simply means increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through search engine results. If you want more visitors to your site – the kind your business needs, then use SEO hacks like incorporating the right words and links in your content. This should be ready before you launch your website.
Also, use attractive, relevant images to break the monotony of words, keep your page more interesting and to strengthen your message. Make sure the display text for the images renders when you hover over it – good alt attributes will take care of that. Alt tags and title tags also make your website more discoverable. Make sure your image size is not too large – not everyone will patiently wait for your website to load.
4. Responsive, have you checked?
This allows your website to effortlessly adapt to desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets and allows standardized viewing. Remember, websites that aren't mobile compatible rank much lower on Google searches. More important, the world functions through smartphones, and if your website isn't optimized for mobile, then you risk losing valuable potential clients.
This sounds obvious, but don't forget to add your contact information. Think of your audience and how they would like to contact you. A phone number and email address are essential. You could also add links to your social media to satisfy diverse audiences. Maybe Skype as well, to chat better.
Once you've double-checked everything on this list, you're all set. But it's also a good idea to get a second opinion from the experts. Ask the technical wizards to navigate your site to see if something could be improved functionally. Ask someone else to read through your website, because a second pair of eyes is invaluable for weeding out errors and giving you a fresh perspective. This little extra effort in fine-tuning will go a long way in the successful launch of your website.
At Them You & Me, we specialize in website design and website optimization. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need someone to double check everything before you launch your website.

Drive-in Movies
Tonight I passed an empty lot where my childhood drive-in theater used to be….I am visiting my old home town and the whole experience brought back lots of great memories.
The drive-in theater was the creation of Camden, New Jersey, chemical company magnate Richard Holiingshead Jr. whose family owned and operated the R.M. Hollingshead Corporation chemical plant in Camden.
In 1932, Hollingshead conducted outdoor theater tests in his driveway at 212 Thomas Avenue in Riverton. After nailing a screen to trees in his backyard, he set a 1928 Kodak Projector on the hood of his car and put a radio behind the screen, testing different sound levels with his car windows down and up. Blocks under vehicles in the driveway enabled him to determine the size and spacing of ramps so all automobiles could have a clear view of the screen.
Following these experiments, he applied August 6, 1932, for a patent of his invention, and he was given U.S. Patent 1,909,537 on May 16, 1933. That patent was declared invalid 17 years later by the Delaware District Court.
Hollingshead's drive-in opened in New Jersey June 6, 1933, on Admiral Wilson Boulevard. He advertised his drive-in theater with the slogan, "The whole family is welcome, regardless of how noisy the children are." The facility only operated three years, but during that time the concept caught on in other states.
Early drive-in theaters had to deal with noise pollution issues. The original Hollingshead drive-in had speakers installed on the tower itself which caused a sound delay affecting patrons at the rear of the drive-in's field. Attempts at outdoor speakers next to the vehicle did not produce satisfactory results.
In 1941, RCA introduced in-car speakers with individual volume controls which solved the noise pollution issue and provided satisfactory sound to drive-in patrons.
The drive-in's peak popularity came in the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly in rural areas, with some 4,000 drive-ins spreading across the United States. Among its advantages was the fact that a family with a baby could take care of their child while watching a movie, while teenagers with access to autos found drive-ins ideal for dates…some of my best dates of all time were at the drive-in…I won't mention any names but you know who you are.
During their height, some drive-ins used attention-grabbing gimmicks to boost attendance. They ranged from small airplane runways, unusual attractions such as a small petting zoo or cage of monkeys, actors to open their movies, or musical groups to play before the show. Some drive-ins held religious services on Sunday morning and evening, or charged a flat price per car on slow nights like Wednesday. The price was a dollar per car during "buck" nights in the 1950s and 1960s.
In the UK a pseudo-drive-in has been launched where the cars are provided by the theater. It's sponsored by Volvo. The urban Starlite Drive-in is inside the Truman Brewery in hip East London where the urban population will get the chance to watch classic films in a fleet of convertibles served by roller-skating waitresses.
Love it…maybe it will catch on…

The European Commission has issued a working document on guidance relating to emergency authorisations of agrochemicals. The guidelines were among several being prepared last year as part of the ongoing implementation of the EU agrochemical registration Regulation (1107/2009 – Agrow No 654, p 6). They cover procedures for member states to grant an approval without waiting for the normal registration process, because there is a danger to plant production and ecosystems that cannot be contained by any other reasonable means. Such approvals are limited to 120 days.

Isla Fisher Web – The Isla Fisher Online Resource bringing you the latest and greatest on Isla Fisher since 2008 (www.islafisher.net)
Web/Site
Home // Career // Presenting
Whilst in England in the late 90's, Isla turned her talents to presenting children's television, and landed a job on ITV series Scoop TV. She presented 19 episodes of the show, from July 1998 to September 1999, in the 3rd and 4th series of the show. Scoop was a children's entertainment and factual show, with it's presenters going on different adventurous activities and visits to learn about different occupations, sports, parts of history and much more … cue the title, The Scoop. Other presenters during Isla's time on the show were current/future soap stars Lisa Coleman and Jeremy Edwards. Directors of the show included Colin Nobbs, Jon Stephens, Richard Maude and Susan Walls. Each episode lasted around 20 mins, and the show was broadcast every week, for 10 weeks a series.
Presenting a television series was a new experience for Isla – "It's my first presenting position and it is great. I've been rodeo-riding in New Orleans, dressed up as the Hunchback of Notre Dame and this week I'll be trying medieval jousting at Leeds Armouries Museum." She admits that she was "more relaxed" in her second series on the show, because "I knew I couldn't have been that bad last year, or they wouldn't have wanted me back," she joked.
Isla was able to get involved in a wide variety of activities, including windsurfing, handling alligators (she had to take tape off their mouths), rodeo riding and ballet. One of her favourite moments of her time on Scoop was meeting fellow miniature Aussie star Kylie Minogue – "That was exciting because I think Kylie is wonderful. She's really beautiful and a real role model. We are both small and proud of it," Isla said. Even her brothers were impressed with what she got to do for the show," as they were "seriously impressed" that she got to meet Jim Drake, the man who invented windsurfing. While she clearly enjoyed these fun adventures, they were not without a few fears! When she got the opportunity to stroke the mane of a fully grown male lion, she worried that lion would eat her because she was "so small"! Fortunately she escaped the experience intact, saying that she "overcame my fear and felt great!"
Not only did she get to try different activities, but Isla also got to travel the world for those activities. The show took her to Louisiana, California, Hollywood and Japan. She spoke highly of her experiences in Japan, calling it an "amazing experience! The people there are so polite and Kyoto was so clean and traditional. I felt really safe in the city. People leave their bikes on the street and they don't get stolen!" She valued the culture lessons she learned in Japan too – at first concerned to see woman bowing to men, she was happy when she found out that the women handled the family's finances, and even gave men pocket money! Another part of her adventures in the Orient that she particularly enjoyed, was fighting with ninjas – "Being a fan of the old Ninja movies I was really excited. I got to fight them and win! Plus I got to be very aggressive and pull Ninja faces."
– Scoop won a BAFTA award.
– Isla got thrown out of a bar in New Orleans because she looked too young. She was 22 however, which is above the legal age for drinking in America. She and the crew were also refused entry into a gambling place for the same reason. Isla had left her passport in her hotel on both occassions. They were allowed back into the gambling place after she went back to get her passport.
– The book 'How to get a job in television' by Susan Wells has a very interesting chapter on a week-long foreign shoot for the show. You can read it online here or here.

Today, more brands than ever are creating high-quality content, fighting to win attention in an increasingly crowded landscape. By 2021, the content marketing industry is expected to be worth more than $400 billion. And with this constant battle to produce more impactful content, customer expectations are rising. They expect more—and to capture their attention—you'll need to do more.
With the bar set so high for modern marketers (97% believe content will be just as or more important than last year in delivering a positive customer experience) creating great content that actively engages your audience isn't easy.
That's where interactive content comes into play.
Interactive content helps bridge the engagement gap by pulling users directly into the content by requiring their engagement and providing them with something valuable in return. With a little creative flair, interactive content can have your users engaging more readily, providing more information, and building bonds with your brand.
For these reasons, and more, we can expect to see interactive content play an increasingly important role in content operations across industries in the coming years.
Interactive content will see huge growth in 2019, in part because the majority of companies are growing their content budgets this year.
Note: Interactive content in this sense is defined by content that actively requires the participation of the user. While a channel like video could be considered interactive, for the purposes of this article, we're only covering content that actively calls for input from users.
Even mid-quality interactive pieces typically see high levels of engagement due to the very nature of the content itself. Though it dictates how users interact with the content, it also gives the consumer the steering wheel to drive the interaction.
Interactive content makes it easier to capture relevant data from their visitors, which has major implications on our ability to personalize marketing campaigns and the sales team's ability to speak to the prospect's biggest concerns.
Consumers are often wary about handing over info like their email address, hoping to avoid being flooded with unwanted marketing messages. And they're right to be choosy with the companies they allow into their inbox.
That's why interactive content often offers a proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (the results to a quiz, newly requested information, results of a survey or poll), which creates a value exchange between company and consumer. It feels less risky to share your email address with a company that has created something truly engaging.
Ordinary content can make your brand seem…well, ordinary. But engaging, interactive content makes your audience a part of the story. They can use and take part in whatever type of content you publish—whether it's a survey, quiz, assessment, or interactive infographic. It creates a shared experience that will be more noteworthy to your audience and help them to develop a deeper loyalty to your brand.
At its most basic, interactive content is an exercise in trust-building. Consumers will get to know your brand on a deeper level, and the positive experiences that you create will shape their perception of who you are and what you stand for.
While there are a few types of content that are more common than others—the great thing about interactive content is that creativity can pay off big. There's lots of room to be original, particularly if you bring some brand storytelling into the mix.
Let's dive into some examples to help you get the gears turning.
Let's take a look at an example from Optum, a health service and technology company that connects health experts with patients through their health management systems. When the company made the switch from a fee-for-service model to fee-for-value, they created an interactive infographic that allowed users to dig deep and download supplemental content throughout the outlined stages.
Instead of delivering all the information in one place, this interactive infographic allowed customers to direct their own educational journeys.
Let's take another look at an example from Blackbaud, which wanted to make sure new students enrolled in Blackbaud University, a training program for nonprofits, were aware of its benefits from the start.
To do this, they created a microsite that users were directed to during the onboarding process that featured case studies and white papers about their service. They also included four pieces of interactive content—two calculators, a quiz, and a survey—to supplement their static content and inspire new users with results from previous customers.
This is a great example of how delivering important information through a more interactive and personal medium can help users to better understand the benefits of a product or service.
Surveys and polls provide a tried-and-true method for engaging your customers. Typically, this style of content is used to facilitate feedback and capture new user data. They can be a fun and interesting way for consumers to participate in content that your brand has shared while giving your business a proven method for improved data capture and engagement.
In this example, a web design and development firm used a quiz software solution to help walk customers through the process of reaching out to sales.
Not only does this make it incredibly simple for the end consumer but it also helps the company to qualify leads that come into their system. If the same questions were presented in a standard web form, you would be certain to see lower engagement rates. By making the process of providing this information more engaging and fun, you increase the likelihood that your users will be willing to provide it.
Kapost recently used this method in the form of our Content Operations Self-Assessment, a short quiz that helps prospects benchmark the strength of their content operations against industry standards. In addition to earning a score, those who complete the quiz also receive a set of in-depth resources and recommendations based on their results.
Taking the quiz allows a prospect to begin thinking about their content operation in a constructive way, while simultaneously allowing our marketing and sales teams to better understand the maturity of a particular account. In the end, both sides have developed a better understanding of how they might work together, which allows us to start more productive conversations as accounts move into a deal cycle.
An interactive form takes these pieces of content to the next level. A great example of an interactive eBook comes from the book Do or Die by Clark Kokich.
The eBook is specifically built for the web and contains a number of supplementary materials including links to video interviews, case studies that flesh out key concepts, and links to supplemental information.
Consider how you could apply this concept to the whitepapers, reports, and studies that your company has released already. There is no reason why you can't release both a static version of an eBook and an interactive version.
Another popular form of interactive content comes in the way of calculators and tools. Practical tools that help users to perform complicated equations or evaluate their standing in some way can be a solid way to catch the eye of your ideal customers.
Let's take a look at an example from Kaufman Rossin, a CPA and financial advisory firm. They created a US tax calculator for foreign-owned corporations that allowed users to compare federal taxes and those in states with heavy foreign capital investment.
Let's look at a more basic example from MTNOnline, a Nigerian telecom company. They faced a fundamental problem: They had no simple way to know how much data subscribers would need when they signed up for a plan.
In response, the company released a simple data usage calculator that allowed customers to input a number of variables (video hours watched, social media usage, web surfing) to give them a rough estimate of how much data they used each month. Consumers used this information to choose a plan that would be best for them.
The result? This simple data usage calculator was shared more than 65,000 times and became a viable part of the company's new customer onboarding process. This simple investment provided a huge benefit to this small telecom.
Creating interactive content leads to more engagement, more leads, and more loyalty from your customers. Customers are more willing to share their information with companies that go the extra mile to produce content that is genuinely helpful and engaging. The examples outlined in this article should help you to get the gears turning on how you can take existing content and data and turn it into something that will catch the eyes of your ideal customers.

Q: How do I adjust a label constraint within a custom cell? I have a table that has custom cells within it. These cells contain an image view and two labels. I have constraints in place to position everything for a typical cell.

Each cell represents either a file or a folder. The layout I have set up is for a file view (two labels are name and detail). When I create the custom cell I change the icon to be a folder and the details label becomes hidden. I then center the name label to make it prettier.
My issue occurs from the reusing of cells. I cannot seem to revert back from the centering of the name label. I have tried a couple different methods of adding this constraint and always seem to be able to have the constraint work the first time, but once a cell is reused I run into issues.
First creation of cell

Issue after cell is reused

One thing I noticed is I only have the issue when a cell is trying to remove the new center constraint (cell goes from folder cell to file cell)
Directory Cell Class
class DirectoryCell: UITableViewCell {

    @IBOutlet weak var directoryTypeImage: UIImageView!
    @IBOutlet weak var directoryNameLabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var directoryDetailsLabel: UILabel!

    var directoryItem: DirectoryItem! {
        didSet {
            self.updateUI()
        }
    }

    func updateUI() {
        let centerConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: directoryNameLabel, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.centerY, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: self.contentView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.centerY, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 0.0)
        let topConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: directoryNameLabel, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.top, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: self.contentView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.top, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 7.0)

        directoryNameLabel.text = directoryItem.name
        directoryTypeImage.image = directoryItem.typeIcon

        if (directoryItem.type == DirectoryItem.types.FOLDER) {
            self.removeConstraint(topConstraint)
            self.addConstraint(centerConstraint)

            directoryDetailsLabel.isHidden = true
        } else {
            self.removeConstraint(centerConstraint)
            self.addConstraint(topConstraint)

            directoryDetailsLabel.text = directoryItem.details
            directoryDetailsLabel.isHidden = false
        }
    }
}

Am I simply applying/removing the constraints wrong or maybe applying/removing them in the incorrect place?
When I walk through the debugger and look at the self.constraints expression, I get no constraints. Where am I misunderstanding the constraints of my custom cell?
TL;DR
Cannot seem remove centering constraint and apply top constraint when a custom cell is reused
EDIT/SOLUTION
For any future people running into this issue, dan's answer below was exactly right. I needed to create a property for each constraint I wanted to apply. Then I remove all of the constraints and apply only the one that I want.
Added to DirectoryCell class
var topConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint {
    get {
        return NSLayoutConstraint(item: self.directoryNameLabel, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.top, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: self.contentView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.top, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 7.0)
    }
}
var centerConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint {
    get {
        return NSLayoutConstraint(item: self.directoryNameLabel, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.centerY, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: self.contentView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.centerY, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 0.0)
    }
}

New updateUI()
func updateUI() {
    directoryNameLabel.text = directoryItem.name
    directoryTypeImage.image = directoryItem.typeIcon

    if (directoryItem.type == DirectoryItem.types.FOLDER) {
        self.removeConstraints(self.constraints) // Remove all constraints
        self.addConstraint(centerConstraint) // Add constraint I want for this "cell type"

        directoryDetailsLabel.isHidden = true
    } else {
        self.removeConstraints(self.constraints)
        self.addConstraint(topConstraint)

        directoryDetailsLabel.text = directoryItem.details
        directoryDetailsLabel.isHidden = false
    }
}

A: You aren't actually removing the constraint that you added the first time updateUI ran, you're creating a new centering constraint which is never added and removing that one.  So you have both the center and top constraint on your cell when it is reused and the centering constraint apparently wins the conflict.
You need to create centerConstraint and topConstraint once and store them in properties on your cell and then just add or remove those ones in updateUI.

"And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." "And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."
Literally, in the eyes of the woman. He planted himself there when Israel was young and has continued there through the centuries. The woman could always see and recognize him.
"Stood" AV; "Standeth" RV. The verb is in the perfect tense and perhaps might even be better translated "was standing." From a late verb esthken.
This certainly covers the centuries from the moment of Israel's existence as a nation to the very moment of the birth of the Christ child. Even after the child was born and caught up to heaven, the dragon has not ceased to hate and stand before the woman (6).
Satan apparently was always aware that the nation Israel was on the verge of giving birth to the Christ child. Having set his own affections upon the crown, he realized there was one contender for the crown with whom he must deal, and that was the Heir apparent, the Lord Jesus Christ. If he could anticipate His entrance into the world or devour the child at His birth, he would succeed in his own ambitions. This he tried at Bethlehem, at the temptation, at Nazareth, numerous times through his ministry, and finally at the cross. At the cross he thought he had won.
"Caught up to God and his throne."
But the cross was not all. There was the resurrection, unquestionable proof that he had miscalculated. Forty days more and He was raptured to the presence of God and to the position of power at the throne.
"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."
He is a dragon or monster in appearance, formidable. He is great in dimensions. This marks his power and activity. He is fiery in color, or brilliant like fire. This color suggests attractiveness rather than repulsiveness.
"And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,...."
He drew and continues to draw the third part of the stars. These are angels as indicated by the language of vs. 7. These are the angels that followed him in the beginning and with whom he is continuing to traffic through the centuries and now and into the future.
"And he did cast them to the earth."
This very word is used of the Leader who causes others to follow Him (John 10:4). John is writing this from the viewpoint of things after the events are finished.
Satan's heart is unchangeable. He has set his heart on being like God and higher in authority than God. He has no concern for those who follow. He will rule or ruin. So he leads them on. They followed him and they were cast out of the Holy of Holies in heaven, out of the holy mountain of God, and then out of the precincts of heaven into the stellar regions. Now they are cast down to the earth. Some have already been cast down to Tartarus and the rest will in due time be cast into the Lake of Fire (2 Pet. 2:4; Matt. 25:41).
"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.""And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Though called a "wonder" AV, this is also a "sign" RV. Through the centuries he has been masquerading as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14). Now the great enemy of God and the archfiend of the universe is revealed in his true colors. What he was in inward nature was never known. Now he becomes clearly manifest and is identified in vs. 9.
The Book of Revelation is first a Revelation of the long-awaited Messiah as well as His arch-enemy.
"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:" "And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered." "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." "And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."
Four women in the scripture represent false or true religion.
Scarlet woman represents false religion - Ch. 17.
Bride of Christ represents true church - Ch. 19.
Sun-clothed woman represents Israel - Ch. 12.
"And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me." "And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?" "And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying."
Clothed with the sun; the moon under her feet. And having a crown of twelve stars.
This describes Israel from Abraham to the birth of Christ.
She is continuously with child.
She is continually in process of giving birth.
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." "Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel."
"Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion." "I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession." "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
Very obviously this could not be the church. For Israel gave us the child and not the church (cf. Isa. 66:7; Micah 5:2-3).
"Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child."
The woman's subsequent experience through 3 1/2 years proves that this cannot be the church (12:6).
AV says "wonder" RV says "sign" which is correct. This has a peculiar use in John. It refers to something that has inherent relation to what it signifies. In some sense of the word, it becomes evident what the Lord meant when he said to the Samaritan woman, "Salvation is of the Jews." This is seen in heaven but takes place on the earth. Like a movie.
Chronologically, this chapter should appear at this point. Since Israel comes into prominence here, it is necessary to show how she fits into the picture of the ages.
The content of this chapter is very important to the understanding of many things.
(1) A correct interpretation of the book of Revelation rests upon the correct interpretation of this chapter.
(2) A correct interpretation of the Bible rests upon the correct understanding of this chapter.
(3) A correct interpretation of history rests upon the understanding of this chapter.
The conflict of the ages is set forth in this chapter of the book.
The conflict of great personalities is set forth in this chapter. Mere abstractions such as right and wrong are not described in this chapter.
"The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. " "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." "And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God," "Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned." "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."
Each one of the woes have been introduced (8:13; 9:12; 11:14). Each one has been increasingly worse. The final woe is the worst of all for the world. It will bring the end of judgment and the victory of the Messiah.
"One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter."
The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of Christ. Not kingdoms (plural) but kingdom (singular). There is a unity of the many kingdoms of the world. They are united under one head, Satan. Now this vast system becomes the kingdom of Christ.
The kingdom of Christ will continue on forever and ever. There will be a thousand years rule for a definite purpose. Then it will merge into the eternal state.
Antichrist has reached the height of his career in the midst of the seven years. At that point the heavenly decree goes forth and the kingdom is handed over to Christ. What follows now is merely a matter of expelling the usurper from his domain. 31/2 years will accomplish this.
"And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God," "Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned." "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."
"And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,"
They fall upon their faces before the one who sits upon the throne and worship him.
"Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned."
So far as heaven is concerned, the decree has gone forth to possess and rule the kingdom. God has taken His power and has reigned. "Art to come" has been left out because Christ has come (cf. ASV). He has come at the rapture and the first part of this presence has begun.
The response of wrath upon the nations.
The recompense of punishment on the dead. Seventh trump reaches to the millennium and its effects to the end of the 1000.
The rewarding of the saints and prophets.
The requital in kind upon the destroyer.
This marks the fact that the universe is moral and spiritual at its center. Holiness is the final criterion of judgment.
This is a reminder that God keeps covenant. He will not forget. This is in order for the Jews are about to enter tribulation.
The execution of His promise is indicated by the lightnings, thunders, voices, earthquake, and hail, that judgment is ahead.
This is a vindication of God's law, and judgment is proceeding according to the law. Men have rejected God's Savior Who in death bore the penalty demanded by the law, and they have elected to bear their own punishment. The punishment is now beginning and it is being executed according to the law.
"And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. " "And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them." "And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven."
"And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them."
The time of the resurrection is after 3 1/2 days.
The agent of the resurrection is the Spirit of life. This undoubtedly is the Holy Spirit (cf. Rom. 8:11).
The evidence of the resurrection is the fact that these prophets stand up on their feet in the sight of all.
The effect of the resurrection on the people is great fear. They thought they were victorious. And then . . .
"And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."
The agent of the translation is the call of the great voice. This is a supernatural cause.
The ascension into heaven in a cloud is the supernatural experience of these men.
The attention of the people is centered upon this event as it takes place.
The time of the earthquake is the same hour of the ascension of the witnesses.
The damage of the earthquake is great. It takes in a tenth part of the city and 7000 men are slain.
The effect of the earthquake upon men is great. They are moved to a frenzy of fright and they do what they would never do on other occasion: They give glory to the God of heaven.
"And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them." "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." "And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves." "And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth."
This is at the conclusion of their testimony, the completion of their mission in the earth.
This comes at the end of 42 months, at the close of the first 3 1/2 years (11:3).
This is the beast that ascendeth out of the Abyss. This is the beast of Rev. 13:1; 17:3, 8; 19:19-20; 20:10). This is the Antichrist, the head of the revived Roman Empire.
"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." "The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."
"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army." "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."
The beast makes war with them: the magnitude of the attempt.
He overcomes them: the outcome of the attempt.
He finally kills them: the purpose of the attempt.
"And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." "And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves."
The physical location is the streets of the great city. There their bodies are allowed to lie.
The spiritual location is the Sodom and Egypt of the world. So low and sinful has this city become that it is like Sodom and Egypt.
The geographical location is the city of Jerusalem. This is the place where Christ was crucified. It is not surprising that His witnesses are killed there and their bodies exposed to humiliation.
"And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves."
They are exposed to the view of the people of the world. This may be a reference to television of the end time.
This covers a full 3 1/2 days. In that hot climate they will have begun to decay and decompose and to be eaten with worms, to say nothing of the odor.
The proper and decent thing to do with bodies, even of the enemy, is to bury. But this is the only earthly remains, and to satisfy their hatred they vent their wrath upon that which remains.
Apparently all that dwell upon the earth are included in this rejoicing group.
The people make merry to the extent of sending gifts to one another. This is surely the devil's Christmas.
Because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth. These prophets were witnesses only. They proclaimed a message. When others tried to do them harm, they defended themselves by the miraculous power granted to them. There is therefore only one explanation, and it is this: The message they brought was the thing that tormented people. This simply means that humanity has become too incorrigible in its unbelief and that any message of truth is a torment to them.
By their testimony, 144,000 of the Jews are sealed. They are led to believe the truth and to rebel against Antichrist. This not only stirs up Antichrist, but it is regarded as a direct insult by all those who pledge allegiance to him. The war organized against the two witnesses is doubtless great because the two witnesses were able to defend themselves miraculously and the 144,000 were sealed against any harm.
"And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. " "These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth." "And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed." "These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will."
This consists largely of the right or authority to proclaim the message which is given to them.
This spoken of in Mal. 4:4-6. It harks back to the law of Moses and the basis for the kingdom. This includes the gospel of grace as it relates to the millennial kingdom (Rev. 14:6). This leads men to Christ and the experience of the new birth as conditions for entrance into the kingdom (John 3:3, 5).
"Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments." "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:" "And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
This period is 31/2 years or 42 months. It should be noted that this is the first half of the 70th week. They are allowed to finish this testimony, and then they are killed by Antichrist (7).
The last half of the week is referred to in vs. 2, During this period the great persecution takes place. Cf. 12:6, 13; 13:5-7.
"But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."
"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." "And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child."
"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven." "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations."
This is symbolic of testimony. They represent the Lord in royal and priestly rights here among men. Oil comes from olive trees and oil is the symbol of the Spirit.
They are the light of the Spirit shining amidst the darkness of this time. There is nothing uncertain about them.
This probably refers to the Lord Jesus in His sovereign and Messianic office.
"And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. " "These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will."
This is power to perform miracles so that enemies who would hurt them personally are devoured and killed. The fire is probably the word that proceeds out of their mouths.
This consists of authority to shut up heaven that it rain not. This will confirm their message. This is most characteristic of Elijah (Jas. 5:17-18 with 1 Kings 17:1; 1 Kings 18:42). This more than confirms the identity of this one (Mal. 4:4-6). (John the Baptist, Matt. 11:13-15; John 1:21; Luke 1:14-17).
"Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months." "And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."
"So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,"
"For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John." "And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come." "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No."
"And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth." "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb." "And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God." "And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
This also consists of power to turn water to blood and smite the earth with plagues (cf. Mal. 4:4 cf. Matt. 17:4 with 2 Pet. 1:16). cf. also Exodus 7:20; 9:14.
"Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias."
"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty."
"And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood."
"For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth."
Others suggest that Enoch may be the other witness (Jude 14-15). Be that as it may, these are two witnesses and not representatives of two companies of witnesses. Jews seemed to expect another prophet (John 1:21-23). Just two who did not die. Moses' body was preserved for transfiguration.
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints," "To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
"And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No." "Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?" "He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias."
"And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein." "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."
A reed, a measuring stick, is placed in the apostle's hand by the angel spoken of in chapter 10. This angel was sent with delegated authority to take possession of the earth. The measuring then was occasioned by the plans of the Lord to eject the usurpers and take over his possession. The measuring is a symbolic act pointing to appropriation. (Instance of measuring windows of house next door.) cf. Ezek. 40:3; 45:1-7; Zech. 2:1-5.
The temple, the sacred place of worship.
The altar, the place where atonement is made.
The people, the worshippers in the temple.
This signifies that God is beginning again to deal with the nation of Israel. This is Daniel's seventieth week (Dan. 9:27).
The outer court is the Gentile court, and it is not to be measured. During this time he will not deal with the Gentiles except in retribution. The times of the Gentiles are running out (Luke 21:24).
The Jews come back into their land and make covenant with Antichrist for one week (7 years), Dan. 9:27. During the first 31/2 years they enjoy great prosperity at his hand. Then in the midst of that week, he breaks the covenant and begins persecution of them.
During the last 31/2 years this persecution continues. It is here spoken of as 42 months. During this time the temple (God's temple) is desecrated by Antichrist (2 Thess. 2:3-4).
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."
The altar (God's altar), the place where reconciliation is made, ceases to be used. Sacrifice and oblation cease (Dan. 9:27). The people become the objects of awful persecution at the hand of the Antichrist (Rev. 12:6, 13).
"And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth." "And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey." "And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter." "And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."
"And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth."John must take the book from the hands of the angel.
"And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."
John is commanded to eat the book, which is done by reflection upon its message (Ezek. 3:1; Jer. 16:17-18). A twofold effect is predicted.
"Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel."
"For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes." "And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things."
"And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey....."
In John's mouth it was sweet to the taste. The reason for this was that it announced judgment upon the world of the wicked.
".....and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter."
Upon more careful reflection of what the book taught, he became aware that judgment to follow would not only affect wicked men but it would bring his own nation Israel into great tribulation. This was bitter in his stomach. Cf. Chapter 11, 12, 13.
He is commanded to prophesy the very message that is both sweet and bitter. The message follows. It has gone out before peoples, tongues, nations, and kings.
"And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven," "And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:" "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets."
Since the mission upon which he has to come is so important, this angel swears by the creator who made all things. This guarantees that his message is true.
This does not mean that time comes to an end. For time had a beginning but will never have an end. Verse 7 explains the meaning. It here has reference to time in the sense of delay in the execution of a plan. Cf. Matt. 24:40-48. "My Lord delayeth his" (cronizei mou o kurioV).
"But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished...."
This mystery is to be finished at the sounding of the seventh trumpet. The nature of this mystery was "good tidings." See RV. The end of this mystery was announced to the prophets. The seventh angel begins to sound in the middle of the week (Rev. 11:15-19).
This mystery was why a God of holiness and power allowed evil to go on unpunished and good to suffer. Why does God not establish his kingdom and rule over men? Hab. 1:4; Psa. 73.
When Christ came and was rejected, the mystery became deeper. The mysteries of the kingdom were set forth in 7 parables (Mark 4:11). The proof that this general interpretation is correct is recorded in Rev. 11:15-19.
"And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:"
"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." "And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God," "Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned." "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."
The key is in verse 6: "Time no longer" AV; "Delay no longer" RV.
"And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer."
"And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:" "And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth," "And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices." "And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not."
This is not Christ as Seiss thinks, but simply another mighty angel serving the Lord Jesus (allon aggelon iscuron). This rules out Christ.
He is sent with delegated authority to discharge a certain task for Christ. He therefore comes from heaven where Christ is. Christ does not come to earth until Rev. 19:11-21.
He is clothed with a cloud which may be a cloud of glory. This is because he is acting for Christ. The rainbow upon his head indicates that his work shall be tempered with mercy. The face shining as the sun indicates that his authority is supreme, even as the Son of God. The feet like pillars of fire make it clear that judgment is in the exercise of this angel.
The little book is the same book of chapters 5-6. It is the book that now is completely open, for the seals have been removed. It is the title deed to the universe, and without which he could not take possession.
This is the symbolic action of the angel setting his right foot upon the sea and his left foot upon the earth. Joshua 1:3.
"Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses."
His cry was like that of a Lion when it roars. This means that he not only has taken possession but will use force to hold and defend what is his. This precipitates the seven thunders.
John would have written the message of the seven thunders, but a voice commanded him to seal up those things uttered by the thunders. Therefore, it is useless to speculate concerning their nature.
However, it may be said that since they are thunder, the general message is judgment. Again, the importance of the passage is judgment.


Per diem interest refers to the interest amount owing from the day of closing to the first day of the following month, which is the date of payment due.
It is also often referred to as the pro-rated interest.
Mortgage loan administration for almost all lenders almost always put the first day of the month as the payment due date.
This is to simplify and standardize accounting for housing loans.
As lenders are seldom charitable towards consumers, should a loan be closed in the middle of the month and the first payment due in approximately 45 days later, the bank expects interest to be paid for the 15 days from the closing date (when the funds were disbursed) till the first day of the next month.
In this example, let's say the closing date is 15 March and the first payment for the period of 2 April till 1 May is due on 1 May. The interest for the period between 15 March to 1 April is the per diem interest.
This interest owing is not paid together with the first mortgage payment on 1 May.
Instead a lender expects it to be paid during closing as part of the settlement costs.
As with the example above, a $200,000 loan at 7% will come up to an interest charge of ($200,000 x 7%) x (17/365) = $652.
In certain cases, especially when the closing date is very early in the month, the lender might be receptive in reversing the situation by granting an interest rebate for that few days and collect the first payment at the end of that month.
For example, the loan was closed on 2 March, the lender might propose to give the borrower cost rebates for the interest on that 2 days. The first mortgage payment will then be made in full by the borrower on 1 April.
If this is confusing, maybe just referring to this as pro-rated interest can help make it a clearer picture.

Vail snowboarder among 11 killed after skydiving plane crashes in Hawaii
29-year-old Casey Williamson was killed when a skydiving plane crashed, burned at a coastal airfield on the island of Oahu
By Audrey Mcavoy and Andrew Selsky | The Associated Press
PUBLISHED: June 23, 2019 at 8:28 am | UPDATED: June 23, 2019 at 1:12 pm

This June 2019 photo provided by Natacha Mendenhall shows Casey Williamson, left, and his mother Carla Ajaga in Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas. Mendenhall said her cousin Williamson, who worked at Oahu Parachute Center, was on board the skydiving plane that killed multiple people when it crashed Friday evening, June 21, 2019. She said her family has not been officially notified of his death. But they provided Honolulu police with Williamson's name and date of birth, and the police confirmed he was on the flight, she said. The 29-year-old Yukon, Okla., native started skydiving about two-and-a-half years ago. Williamson was his mother's only child, Mendenhall said.
HONOLULU — Casey Williamson's love of adventure led him to winter snowboarding in Vail, Colorado, and summer skydiving in Moab, Utah. A year-and-a-half ago, he found his way to Hawaii, where he could skydive year-round.
On Friday, the 29-year-old was among 11 killed when their skydiving plane crashed and burned at a coastal airfield on the island of Oahu. It was the worst civilian aviation accident in the U.S. since 2011.
Williamson was his mother Carla Ajaga's only child, his cousin Natacha Mendenhall said.
"We're all very upset," said Mendenhall, speaking from her home in Fort Worth, Texas. "She cannot really talk right now. What she wants everyone to know is how full of life her son was, how loving he was."
Williamson, who was from Yukon, Oklahoma, worked as an instructor and as a videographer who filmed customers as they dove. He was trying to earn more jumping hours and learn the trade, Mendenhall said.
Williamson's family has not been officially notified of his death. But they provided Honolulu police with Williamson's name and date of birth, and the police confirmed he was on the flight, Mendenhall said.
No one aboard survived the crash, which left a small pile of smoky wreckage near the chain link fence surrounding Dillingham Airfield about an hour north of Honolulu.
Steven Tickemyer said he saw the plane take flight, get 75 to 100 feet (22 to 30 meters) off the ground and turn away from the mountain range nearby.
He said the plane then started to nosedive and flip over belly forward so that it was upside down. The aircraft then flipped over again and hit the ground nose first. There was an explosion when it hit the ground.
This all transpired in about 20 to 30 seconds, said Tickemyer, who watched from a beach across the street where he was attending a friend's small wedding ceremony.

He and his friends hopped in his truck, called 911 and drove over to help. They screamed to see if anyone would respond, but no one did, he said.
The crash appeared to be the worst U.S. civil aviation accident since a 2011 accident at the Reno Air Show in Nevada that killed the pilot and 10 spectators.
Officials in Hawaii initially reported that nine people had died and that three of them were customers of the skydiving company operating the plane and that six were employees. But the Hawaii Department of Transportation tweeted Saturday that officials later "confirmed there were 11 people on board the plane" and no survivors. They were not identified.
The flight was operated by the Oahu Parachute Center skydiving company. The ratio of employees to customers aboard suggested that tandem jumps may have been planned in which the customers would have jumped while attached to experienced skydivers, Tim Sakahara, a spokesman for the Hawaii Department of Transportation, told reporters.
Witness Wylie Schoonover saw the plane flying over trees while driving from a nearby YMCA camp after picking up a friend. Then she saw smoke billowing from the airfield and drove over.
There was an "insane amount of fire," she said.
"It didn't even look like a plane. A bunch of people were asking 'what is this?' It was completely gone," Schoonover said.
Two Federal Aviation Administration inspectors went to the crash site Friday, and National Transportation Safety Board investigators were expected to arrive Saturday evening, safety board spokesman Eric Weiss said.
The same plane was involved in a terrifying midair incident three years ago in Northern California that prompted the 14 skydivers aboard to jump earlier than planned to safety.
In that 2016 incident near Byron, California, the twin-engine plane stalled three times and spun repeatedly before the pilot at that time managed to land it safely, the National Transportation Safety Board said in an investigative report. The report blamed pilot error and said that the plane rotated nine times during one of the three spins it experienced.
Investigators found that the plane had lost a piece of horizontal stabilizer and that the plane's elevator had broken off. The plane was also too heavily weighted toward the back, which was also blamed on the pilot.
The plane with two turboprop engines was manufactured in 1967, FAA records said.
No one answered the phone at Oahu Parachute Center, which advertises its services on a web site saying its jumps offer people "a magical experience." Tandem jumps are featured at prices ranging from $170 to $250.
Videos from the company's Facebook page show jumps from the plane that crashed, with customers strapped to employee skydivers jumping out the side door of the aircraft from 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) or higher, with the Pacific Ocean and the Oahu's green mountains far below.
Dillingham Airfield is used mostly for skydiving and glider flights. Hawaii shares the airfield with the Army, which uses it for helicopter night-vision training.

Assessments and Management of Risk in Major Federal Environmental Laws
Assessing and monitoring related environmental dangers to health is the use of applicable methods and effective ways to address issues that are a concern to public health. These health risks can be such as; air pollution, noise pollution, food handling and so on. Through proper measures and approaches, environmental hazards can is dealt with effectively and hence reducing the risks associated and ensuring safety at work. Below are some of the approaches to manage risks related to public health;
Accounting for Emissions
Emission is a significant source of pollution as the exposure of pollutants to the atmosphere results in environmental degradation which is a hazard to human health. This approach aims at ensuring that what emissions per by the health laws formulated for the concerned risks and the level of concentration emission to the environment and its effects on public health. Second, there is a need to record the actual level of discharge and specifying the source or sources of the emission. By accounting for the emissions, it is easier to calculate and determine the potential environmental risks involved and thus enabling the installation of control measures and ways to manage the associated risk involved. This approach is crucial as it maintains what it exposes to the environment and by so helping associated health risks for instance; infectious diseases caused by biological hazards, cancers that are associates to emissions, mortality related issues.
Also, control emission, the laws can ban specific products or substances from being produced, licensing of emitting substances, establishing exposure limits to control its concentration to the environment and also formulating guidelines to enforce safety production for the workers handling those substances.
Bio-monitoring substances
This approach entails determining if a metabolic content will have effects to a particular biological sample. This process is mostly carried out in laboratories where biological specimens of different kinds are tested by introducing the agent or metabolic product to them and see how they react to it and at what level of exposure or concentration. Collection of the accurate data concerning the tested biological sample can take time and thus the surveillance data is part of the monitoring as is entails the periodic effect of the products to the specimen. There is also clinical surveillance which in most cases conducts in relevance to a particular population that is close to the exposure of the substance. Bio-monitoring helps to collect data that is important in determining the level of health effect. It may have to the public health for instance if the production of a particular product may affect the mortality rate of the exposed population, if its extent of exposure to the environment may bring congenital abnormalities for the babies born around, if there are cancer-related issues of the product and so on.
Also, bio-monitoring enables the ease in managing the associated risk through measures of health consultations and admission of hospitals. The precautionary approach is essential in this case as it takes into account the toxic levels of the exposure and it gives room to determine the control measures to lower the exposure threshold.
In conclusion, these environmental hazards and health issues associated with pollution and the emission of harmful substances. The dangers deal with the approach of assessments and management of risk in major federal environmental laws. For example, accounting for emissions; that control the release of harmful products in the environment and bio-monitoring; substances which is the frequent testing of biological specimens.

Dow plunges 331 points on oil's $50 per barrel slide
Stocks took a tumble Monday, with energy companies leading the decline as crude dipped below $50 a barrel. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 331 points, or 1.9 percent, to 17,501. It was down as much as 357 earlier.
By Steve Rothwell Associated Press
January 5, 2015 | New York
Another plunge in the price of oil is driving stocks sharply lower.
Energy companies led the decline as crude dipped below $50 a barrel Monday.
Other stocks also fell as traders worried that the drop could indicate a weaker global economy and possibly lead to a dangerous, wider drop in other prices in the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 331 points, or 1.9 percent, to 17,501. It was down as much as 357 earlier.
The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 37 points, or 1.6 percent, to 2,024. The Nasdaq fell 56 points, or 1.2 percent, to 4,671.
In Europe, the euro sank to a nine-year low as traders worried that Greece might leave the currency union. European markets closed sharply lower.
Financial markets are starting the year with a stumble in stocks, oil and the euro. A plunge in the price of crude is hitting energy companies and leaving investors fearful that the selling will spread to other industries, dragging down indexes from their latest all-time highs reached a week ago.
Meanwhile, fears that Greece could drop out of the eurozone sent the euro to a nine-year low against the dollar.
KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 36 points, or 1.8 percent, to 2,022 as of 3:34 p.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 332 points, or 1.9 percent, to 17,499. The Nasdaq composite slid 74 points, or 1.6 percent, to 4,652.
ENERGY: Oil prices extended a slide that began in June last year. Traders are worried that the world will be oversupplied with crude as demand slows along with the global economy.
Benchmark U.S. crude dropped $2.65 to close at $50.04 a barrel in New York. The price fell as low as $49.77, the first time it's gone below $50 in more than five years. Oil traded as high as $107 a barrel in June.
Energy stocks fell the most in the S&P 500, dropping 4 percent. Chevron fell $4.56, or 4.1 percent, to $108.02. Exxon Mobil dropped $2.64, or 2.8 percent, to $90.20.
EURO JITTERS: The euro also dropped. The currency was trading at $1.1945 after falling as low as $1.1862, its lowest since December 2005. The drop was triggered by reports that German Chancellor Angela Merkel no longer believes it would be too risky for the 19-member eurozone if Greece dropped out of the currency bloc. Upcoming elections in Greece could be won by the Syriza party which wants to renegotiate the terms of the country's international bailout, threatening its place in the euro group.
The euro has also been under pressure from expectations that the European Central Bank will expand its monetary stimulus as the region's economy struggles.
EUROPEAN STOCKS: France's CAC 40 fell 3.3 percent and Germany's DAX dropped 3 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 shed 2 percent. Greece's ATHEX index plunged 5.6 percent.
THE QUOTE: "The situation with Europe and Greece is causing some caution," said Scott Wren, Senior Global Equity Strategist at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute. "My feeling is that the ECB has band-aided the debt issue and we are going to continue to revisit the issue."
The S&P 500 has fallen 1.6 percent so far this year after ending 2014 close to record levels. Despite the sluggish start, Wren still thinks that U.S. stocks will return between 6 and 10 percent in 2015.
STOLEN DATA: Morgan Stanley slumped more than other banks after it said that an employee had "misappropriated" data from its wealth management clients. The bank said in a statement that an employee, who has since been fired, posted the account information of 900 clients on the internet. Morgan Stanley's stock dropped $1.35, or 3.5 percent, to $37.35.
METALS: Prices for precious and industrial metals ended mixed. Gold rose $17.80 to $1,204 an ounce, silver rose 45 cents to $16.21 an ounce and copper fell five cents to $2.77 a pound.
BOND PRICES: In U.S. government bond trading, prices rose. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which falls when prices rise, dropped to 2.04 percent.
