Could the Intel 8086 CPU have many segments in memory of the same type?
The Intel 8086 CPU could address up to 1 MB of memory using segmentation, and this CPU have 4 segment registers, which are CS and SS and DS and ES.
Each segment in memory can have a maximum size of 64 KB, which means that if all 4 segment registers are used, then 256 KB of memory would be used, which leaves 768 KB of memory unused.
So how were the remaining 768 KB of memory used? was it possible to have many segments in memory of the same type, for example could we have 2 stack segments in memory, and we would modify the SS register whenever we want to use a different stack segment?
history memory-layout cpu 8086
Yes, you'd modify the segment registers as needed. This also worked in higher level languages, there'd by a kind of "far pointer" which would cause segment register loads as needed (as opposed to a "near pointer", which was more efficient, but restricted to a particular segment). – dirkt Jul 27 '19 at 16:16
You can use 32-bits to hold/store a pointer even though it is a 16-bit processor. Technically, you only need to 20-bits per pointer to reach the full address space, but that is more impractical as it results in more complex code for pointer dereferencing and pointer assignment; it is also impractical storing 24-bits (a round 3 bytes) per pointer, so 32-bits is what's typically done. – Erik Eidt Jul 27 '19 at 16:31
Segment registers can be changed, thus allowing access to full address space.
In addition to doing this ad hoc, there are different ways to model this, called memory models:
small: code and data both reside in one segment, all code and data pointers are 16bit
medium: single data segment, multiple code segments (code pointers 32bit)
compact: single code segment, multiple data segments (data pointers 32bit)
large: multiple code and data segments (all pointers 32bit)
16bit pointers consist of offset only, and are called near pointers. 32bit pointers consist of segment and offset, and are called far pointers.
For small and medium memory models, stack and data segments were always the same. This allowed accessing local and global variables as well as heap allocated memory within same segment and thus with near pointers.
Using far pointers is slower as segment registers need to be modified each time they are used, so their use is discouraged unless explicitly needed.
tuomastuomas
Switching stacks would be basic to multi-threading, cooperative multi-tasking, and to take an example that goes way back to the early days: debuggers. Of course in the case of a debugger the other stack belongs to the target program, but the debugger still has to interact with it, briefly as a stack and then to a greater degree as data. – Chris Stratton Jul 27 '19 at 17:38
P.S., I vaguely remember some programming toolchain that supported one additional memory model. Can't recall the name (of the tool, or the language, or the memory model), but the idea was to allow a single object, typically an array, to be larger than 64K. That was not possible in the ordinary "large" model because in the large model, each compilation unit had just one code segment, and just one data segment. – Solomon Slow Jul 27 '19 at 17:43
@SolomonSlow yes, this would be huge model. There's also tiny where CS=DS=SS – tuomas Jul 27 '19 at 17:44
@SolomonSlow, I'd wager a guess that the processor doesn't automatically update SS if SP overflows, so using a stack larger than 64 kB would require the code to modify SS and SP so that SP can never overflow. Luckily the segments overlap, which makes it easier, but it might still be hard to know when exactly the stack needs to be checked. On each subroutine call perhaps? Or perhaps you could inspect the function call graph to know what functions can be called when SP is near overflow. Doable, probably, but sounds a bit annoying and might add overhead. – ilkkachu Jul 27 '19 at 20:25
Maybe this should be a followup, but did interrupts use the same stack as the user program (I suppose they had to) and how much space needed to be reserved for this? – pjc50 Jul 29 '19 at 9:25
The 8086 has 20 address pins so can access 1 MB of memory. To be clear, the 20 bit address space is linear, and the memory subsystem doesn't know about segmentation or segment registers — it just sees the 20 address pins.
The values put on the 20 address pins are generated by segment register * 16 + offset, where offset comes from a regular register or other addressing mode.
It is the programming model that is awkward since it is basically a 16-bit processor. To access more you need to hold/store at least 20 bits per pointer, and rounding up pointer size to 32-bits is the most practical. For pointers larger than 16-bits, pointer dereference and pointer assignment require multiple instruction sequences (e.g. dereference involves setting segment registers).
@tuomas nicely details the various programming model options.
Erik EidtErik Eidt
The segment was left-shifted by four bits, not multiplied by four (which is equivalent to left-shifting by two bits). – user Jul 29 '19 at 20:39
Before "protected memory," all bytes were basically the same as far as the CPU was concerned. The segment registers are a lot like "bank selectors" that you'd see in other segmented memory schemes, except that they overlapped every 16 bytes. So, if you needed to use 128KB of RAM for a game data file, you would just change the DS register between two or more values to choose which 64k chunk of the 128k file you were reading/writing. Of course, developers had to be careful to either use MS-DOS or BIOS routines to make sure they didn't accidentally overwrite the Interrupt Vector Table, etc, but aside from that, the CPU and memory controller didn't actually enforce many sanity checks directly.
For example, MS-DOS's "COM" format was just raw machine code without any headers. Before execution, CS, DS, and SS were all set to the same value. However, a developer could write code to move SS up 64k, giving access to a full-sized stack, and then move DS around as they like to load and save memory as they'd like. The EXE format had additional headers before the machine code, allowing CS, DS, and SS to be different initially. From there, if you were using a higher level language (C was common back then), the langage's memory manager could change CS and SS as necessary to access more than 64k. The only limit is that you could only access 64k of memory per register at one time, without changing the segment register.
phyrfoxphyrfox
As already discussed, the 8086's memory addressing is a little... weird.
The hardware addressing was 20-bit and bytewise, which gives you the 220 addressable bytes (1 MiB).
To the software side, this was exposed as a segment (later, when the 80286 introduced protected mode, renamed a selector, but by default in real mode selectors were set up to work identically to segments) and an offset.
The physical address was generated by taking the segment, left-shifted by four bits (not multiplied by four, as another answer claims), and then adding the offset, then taking the lowest (most significant) 20 bits of the result.
It follows that any given physical memory address can be accessed via a number of different segment:offset pairs. There is no difference to the CPU-RAM interface between, say, F000:FFF0 and FFFF:0. (We can see this as F000<<4 becomes F0000, add FFF0 gives FFFF0; likewise, FFFF<<4 is FFFF0, add 0 gives FFFF0.)
As a consequence, it also follows that segments can overlap. In the above example, segments F000h and FFFFh overlap at address FFFF0h. In general, every segment selects a sliding 64 KiB window of the 1 MiB address space, shifted 16 bytes for each segment.
Memory models are a distraction, here; they mostly influence which segment value is the default for a particular type of operation, and which type of addressing is normally used.
To access a particular physical address, generally speaking, an appropriate segment register is loaded with the correct segment, and then a normal segment:offset access is performed via that segment register. Some instructions (such as jumps) can or even require the programmer to bypass the segment load operation and specify the segment directly in the instruction; other instructions can use only a specific segment register.
Since loading a segment register is a relatively invasive operation (as it changes global CPU state which you'll potentially need to reset before doing something else), it's something you'd try to avoid. By carefully choosing how you're addressing memory, many segment changes could be avoided, or restricted to the extra segment register, ES.
The CPU doesn't care about the type of segment (on the 8086/8088, there is nothing to mark a stack segment as different from a code or data segment; features like NX, or read-only segments, came later), but some operations have restrictions on which segment registers they can be used with. For example, you cannot perform an intersegment jump instruction into code pointed at by DS, but that's a restriction of the jump instruction, not the CPU. If for some strange reason you really want to jump to DS:IP+4, you just need to put that address in a place where a jump instruction can use it; there is no need to do anything to the memory itself.
Back in the day, the ability of the 8086/8088 to provide these different windows into the address space was sold as a feature by Intel, proposing that it would ease the development of multitasking or multiuser environments. For example, from the iAPX 86/88 user's manual, page 2-11:
The segmented structure of the 8086/8088 memory space supports modular software design by discouraging huge, monolithic programs. The segments also can be used to advantage in many programming situations. Take, for example, the case of an editor for several on-line terminals. A 64k text buffer (probably an extra segment) could be assigned to each terminal. A single program could maintain all the buffers by simply changing register ES to point to the buffer of the terminal requiring service.
useruser
8086 assemblers and compilers supported different memory models where a program could have one or more code segments combined with one or more data segments. For example, a small model program would have one code segment (cs) and one data segment (ds/es). A large model program would have multiple code segments (cs, using a far jump), multiple data segments (with the segment in one of ds or es). The number (one/multiple) of stack segments would generally match the number of data segments (one/multiple).

Link Proliferation: Do not drill or dig here before A.D. 12,000.
Disco zombies are coming!
My long-suffering wife had put up with me cryptically reciting, often on the flimsiest of pretexts, the following "poem."
Stevie Washington
Angry youth
New York's New York
Turn of the century
All crime
So, finally, she Youtube'd the aforementioned angry young man and found an extended clip that ties together all the tiny MTV station break bits into a single almost-narrative. Bask in the warm glow of the very late 1980s. (The density of the sound work on these things is bizarrely rich for the simplicity of the visuals.)
What's cultier than cult?
NYC's Wooster Group aims at that incredibly tiny demographic that digs Baroque opera and Italio-genre cinema. Until the 26th of this month, they're performing a live mash-up of Francesco Cavalli's 17th Century opera Didone (an operatic revision of the Dido myth – with a happy ending, oddly) and Mario Bava's 1965 sci-fi/horror cult flick Planet of the Vampires. I kid you not.
Make with the click and you'll get a couple of scenes – but you can't control the volume of the music or pause, so don't come crying to me when your coworkers rat you out to the overseer for taking a few minutes of the company's precious time to snag a wee bit of culture.
The poster, shown above, not only references the Bava movie in it's title treatment, but alludes to those bags of brightly colored plastic spaceman figures that one used to be able to buy from the grocery shop for a quarter or two. It makes me giggle and do a little dance every time I see it.
NB: It has come to my attention that some bloggers take offense at my use of the term "cult" – as is in "cult film" – to describe certain subgenres and their fanbases. Some find it carries a derogatory connotation. Others seem to feel I'm claiming that such works are idols at the center of genuine religious cults and I'm asking readers to assume that digging, say, the works of Dario Argento is the exact equivalent of belonging to Aum Shinrikyo.
To the former, I see your point, but I believe the "slur" is – at this point in time – a pretty toothless thing. Like the term "grindhouse," I find the cult thing is more nostalgic than offensive: It alludes to a time when there was something subversive and vaguely illicit about outrageous genre filmmaking. Like "punk," "fauvism," "cubism," "impressionism," and countless other art/culture terms, I feel the word has traveled from insult, to badge, to self-aware camp. Consequently, I'm using it in that spirit. If it's continued use offends, I'm sorry, but at least you know what I mean by it.
To the latter, you're an idiot.
How do you scare people 10,000 years from now?
Last week (I think it was last week) Curt (of the Groovy), I, and several insightful commenters got in a discussion on his site about what we could or could not say about the mental culture of our ancient, prehistoric ancestors.
Curiously, eggheads at the DOE are dealing with a similar problem. But they're doing in reverse.
The U.S. Department of Energy is going ahead with a toxic waste disposal plan – the Waste Isolation Pilot Plan – that, in essence, involves burying in the ground and declaring the area of limits for the next ten centuries.
Here's the problem: How can adequately communicate a message of danger to people who will be living at a 10,000 year remove from you?
To get a sense of that scale, think about how you'd warn people today and trace how old those tools are. Go back just 500 or 600 years and few English-speakers can still easily understand the language that became modern English. Language-based warnings, then, are out. Arabic numerals have lasted a pretty long time – but even then you're only talking about a span of less than 2,000 years for the whole set of nine numerals and the zero. Is it impossible the number system could evolve into something new in a span of years more than five times it's current age? Representing time has it's own challenges. Will they understand the B.C./A.D. split (which is already giving way in some corners to the more secular B.C.E./C.E.)?
On the upshot, visual representations of human fear seem to be fairly universal. Researchers have found notable cultural influences on the interpretation of facial expressions, including the expression of fear. Still, this influences don't change the overriding fact that, regardless of cultural differences, humans can read emotional expressions with remarkable accuracy.
The DOE has proposed the sign shown above, but – more interesting in my opinion – they've drawn up plans to transform the area above the toxic waste into what's essentially a landscaped "stay away" message. The sketch below is one of several artists renditions of their plan.
Movies that stink.
The Philosopher's Magazine has a nifty little article posted on why films won't explore smell, "taken to mean the verb – the act of smelling – more than the noun – the fragrance or stench."
The article stars with a curious declaration by Stanely Kubrick. What book did Stan the Man Kubrick think was unfilmable?
Kubrick did a disservice to smell and to film when he labelled Patrick Süskind's Perfume unfilmable. If the director who had risen boldly to the challenge of depicting the origins of humans deemed smell an unfilmable sense, there seemed no point in any lesser mortal trying to prove him wrong. Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton and Ridley Scott all followed Kubrick in abandoning the project shortly after they had taken it on. And the situation of olfactory cinema was not alleviated when Tom Tykwer did finally take up the challenge in 2006. His multi-million dollar blockbuster avoided tackling the problem of filming smell at all and so confirmed the audiences' suspicion that the problem itself was unsolvable.
As smell rises in cultural esteem, challenging the ascendancy of the visual, it seems time to lament that there is no great olfactory film, and to ponder what this tells us about smell itself. There now seems no need to worry about the place of smell in contemporary life. That sense once denigrated by Aristotle as the least distinguished of all now has an assured place in university discourse and drawing-room chatter. We have a distinguished body of smell literature, presided over by Marcel Proust and Patrick Süskind; we have a growing scene of contemporary smell art. Last year Reodorant II: Urban Brain opened in New York, offering a series of multi-sensory installations that attempted to visualise and investigate the brain's capacity for sense perception, memory, emotion and logic. The thriving state of what will no doubt soon be known as "olfactory studies" was made clear by the publication of Jim Drobnick's The Smell Culture Reader in 2006, which brought together olfactory work by anthropologists, sociologists, perfumers and cultural critics. Tellingly, though, there was no essay on smell and film, only a brief discussion of smell-o-vision cinema, nestled amongst other newer odorous gimmicks. It is time for a filmmaker to prove Kubrick wrong by capturing smell on the screen.

When he wrote The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien created a memorable group of characters to populate his world of Middle-Earth. Some of these characters are great and mighty, like the wise wizard, Gandalf, or the courageous warrior (and future King), Aragorn. Tolkien also created a very different kind of hero: Hobbits. Hobbits are small and unremarkable. They only grow to the size of human children and avoid adventure as much as possible. But Tolkien writes all of his characters, small and great alike, as essential to the story. Without each one playing his part, their quest to save Middle-Earth would have failed.
The idea that each of us is asked to play our part is a good place to start as we turn the third section of YouCat, How We are to Have Life In Christ. In the same way as an expert writer like Tolkien creates his characters deliberately to play some part in the story, God has done the same with us. We have been placed on this earth to play some unique and irreplaceable role in history.
Pope Benedict XVI put it beautifully, when he said that:
"We are not the product of blind chance or absurdity; instead our life originates as part of a loving plan of God" and that "Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed. Each of us is loved. Each of us is necessary."
The question is: what is our part and what are we supposed to do? We know that God has "delivered us from the dominion of darkness (Col 1:13) through His Son, Jesus Christ. He granted us the opportunity to make a new start in fellowship with Him and to walk the path of love" (YouCat 279). This 'path of love' will be outlined as we look at topics like human dignity, community, and the Ten Commandments – this is how we play our part in the story. But before we look at all of these in detail, there's one very important thing to keep in mind: "Apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15:5).
Jesus isn't trying to patronize or insult us here. He's just acknowledging what we see happening in human history. We can't play our part without God's help. We see this repeated throughout the Old Testament. It doesn't matter who God offers a covenant to; they stay faithful for a while, but old habits die hard, and they quickly return to their former ways. The same is true in our own lives. By our own strength, we struggle to adhere to any of the moral guidelines given to us by God. Simply put, we need God's help to be who He created us to be and to live as we ought to:
"If we were to rely on our ourselves and our own strength, we would not get far in our attempts to be good. Through faith we discover that we are God's children, and that God makes us strong." -YouCat 279
We call this strength that God gives us "grace." The Catechism of the Catholic Church calls grace the "favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life" (CCC 1996). I can't emphasize enough how important God's grace as we seek our place in the story and we try to live it out. We see this particularly in the lives of Jesus' disciples. On Holy Thursday night, when Jesus is arrested, tried, and condemned; they flee for their lives (Mark 14:50). After Pentecost, this quickly changes. The Acts of the Apostles tell us of their courage in preaching the Good News – even when it means they must suffer or die for the message they proclaim.
Christians who cooperate with God's grace and who make God's moral law a guiding principle for their lives have stood out through history for their heroic virtue. We have recognized many of these as saints – the heroes of the story of our faith. These heroes come from every part of the world and at times seem as unlikely to be heroes as Tolkien's Hobbits. But their lives have an essential part to play in the story, bringing the Gospel to life without using words:
"…the first means of evangelization is the witness of an authentically Christian life, given over to God in a communion that nothing should destroy and at the same time given to one's neighbor with limitless zeal." -Pope Paul VI, On Evangelization in the Modern World

When God Purifies His Church
Friday December 1st, 2000
I'm excited for I have made another discovery. Now I can answer the question of so many: "When and how is God going to cleanse his church of the apostasy that is daily gaining momentum within this structure." I receive hundreds of letters from all over the world in which our dear people are sighing and crying because of the abominations which are taking place. But now I praise God for I can tell you exactly what God is going to do and how he is going to do it very soon.
I'm indebted to Leona Rosenvold for helping me to discover the answer which is found in the dream given to William Miller, one of the great pioneers of this Advent movement. Ellen White, God's last day prophet, considered William Millers dream to be God inspired. She made it a part of her own book, Early Writings, and made reference to it in her own words on p. 48. You will find his dream on p. 81-83.
Humbled Academy that was located many years ago in Ureka, California, was planning on putting on a school program. As a part of their program, they chose an eleven-year-old girl from their nearby grade school to read William Miller's dream. As a result of that reading, throughout the many years that followed, never did this young girl forget that dream; by reading it to the audience that night it was etched upon her memory forever. If the importance of that dream so impressed an eleven-year-old girl, perhaps it will make an indelible impression upon children and adults who read or hear his dream today.
Throughout the years, as the scroll of current history has unrolled, it is becoming more and more evident that William Miller's dream is a prophecy. A prophecy of God's last day remnant church, spanning the time from 1844 to the end. The prophecy began when the Advent movement was purified or cleansed by the disappointment. But his dream also covers the intervening time and ends with the final purification, or cleansing of the church which, according to divine revelation, is scheduled to take place near the end of time. We will begin by reading Miller's dream as it is recorded in Early Writings. But before we do this let us pray.
Loving Father. So many of our children are perplexed and even discouraged as we see Thy standards being pushed aside with a worship pattern encouraged contrary to divine inspiration, and even doctrines being preached contrary to Thy word. Our hearts cry out to Thee to reveal Thy power and cleanse Thy church. As we thus unburden our hearts before Thee, we praise Thy name for giving us the answer we have prayed for. In the precious name of Jesus we thank Thee. Amen.
In Early Writing p. 81 I read from Miller's prophetic dream, "I dreamed that God, by an unseen hand, sent me a curiously wrought casket about ten inches long by six square, made of ebony and pearls curiously inlaid. To the casket there was a key attached. I immediately took the key and opened the casket, when, to my wonder and surprise, I found it filled with all sorts and sizes of jewels, diamonds, precious stones, and gold and silver coin of every dimension and value, beautifully arranged in their several places in the casket; and thus arranged they reflected a light and glory equaled only to the sun.
"I thought it was not my duty to enjoy this wonderful sight alone, although my heart was overjoyed at the brilliancy, beauty, and value of its contents. I therefore placed it on a center table in my room and gave out word that all who had a desire might come and see the most glorious and brilliant sight ever seen by man in this life.
"The people began to come in, at first few in number, but increasing to a crowd. When they first looked into the casket, they would wonder and shout for joy. But when the spectators increased, everyone would begin to trouble the jewels, taking them out of the casket and scattering them on the table.
"I began to think that the owner would require the casket and the jewels again at my hand; and if I suffered them to be scattered, I could never place them in their places in the casket again as before; and felt I should never be able to meet the accountability, for it would be immense. I then began to plead with the people not to handle them, nor to take them out of the casket; but the more I pleaded, the more they scattered; and now they seemed to scatter them all over the room, on the floor and on every piece of furniture in the room.
"I then saw that among the genuine jewels and coin they had scattered an innumerable quantity of spurious jewels and counterfeit coin. I was highly incensed at their base conduct and ingratitude, and reproved and reproached them for it; but the more I reproved, the more they scattered the spurious jewels and false coin among the genuine.
"I then became vexed in my physical soul and began to use physical force to push them out of the room; but while I was pushing out one, three more would enter and bring in dirt and shavings and sand and all manner of rubbish, until they covered every one of the true jewels, diamonds, and coins, which were all excluded from sight. They also tore in pieces my casket and scattered it among the rubbish. I thought no man regarded my sorrow or my anger. I became wholly discouraged and disheartened, and sat down and wept.
"While I was thus weeping and mourning for my great loss and accountability, I remembered God, and earnestly prayed that He would send me help.
"Immediately the door opened, and a man entered the room, when the people all left it; and he, having a dirt brush in his hand, opened the windows, and began to brush the dirt and rubbish from the room.
"I cried to him to forbear, for there were some precious jewels scattered among the rubbish.
"He told me to 'fear not,' for he would 'take care of them'.
"Then, while he brushed the dirt and rubbish, false jewels and counterfeit coin, all rose and went out of the window like a cloud, and the wind carried them away. In the bustle I closed my eyes for a moment; when I opened them, the rubbish was all gone. The precious jewels, the diamonds, the gold and silver coins, lay scattered in profusion all over the room.
"He then placed on the table a casket, much larger and more beautiful than the former, and gathered up the jewels, the diamonds, the coins, by the handful, and cast them into the casket, till not one was left, although some of the diamonds were not bigger than the point of a pin.
"He then called upon me to 'come and see.'
"I looked into the casket, but my eyes were dazzled with the sight. They shone with ten times their former glory. I thought they had been scoured in the sand by the feet of those wicked persons who had scattered and trod them in the dust. They were arranged in beautiful order in the casket, every one in its place, without any visible pains of the man who cast them in. I shouted with very joy, and that shout awoke me."
When we put Miller's dream together with the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy writings in regard to this spiritual condition, history, and the future and final cleansing of the church, his dream takes on great importance. Already much of his dream has been or is being fulfilled right now. The remainder will be fulfilled in the very near future. Undoubtedly all are familiar with the circumstances and cause of what is called the great disappointment of 1844. The disappointment divided the Adventists into two groups – the faithful and the unfaithful.
The Historical Prologue, copyright in 1945, that is inserted in the front of the large print edition of Early Writings explains, "At first only a few were identified with this group who were moving forward in advancing light. By the year 1846 they reckoned their number as about fifty. The larger group who turned from confidence in the fulfillment of prophecy in 1844 numbered approximately thirty thousand."
Now please note, and keep in mind the sizes of these two groups – the majority and the little company. This is very important as we compare the wheat and the tares within the church today.
Now for the particulars of Miller's dream. According to the inspired writings, the casket represents God's church. It was made of ebony. Ebony is a very hard wood. It is very durable. The most valuable ebony is black and takes a rich high polish. Imagine this inlaid with magnificent, glistening pearls. The casket was beautiful and this is the way God represents His pure people, after the disappointment when the unfaithful were weeded out in 1844.
In 6T 261 we find this beautiful description and love of God for the church. I quote: "But the church is very precious in His sight. It is the case which contains His jewels, the fold which encloses His flock, and He longs to see it without spot or blemish or any such thing. He yearns after it with unspeakable love."
What do the jewels represent? Again I will quote from inspired writings. "Christians are Christ's jewels." HP 267. Again, "Each soul is his own jewel." 6T 115. I like that don't you? In 4BC 1184, we read, "He who lives nearest to Jesus shines the brightest. The luster of the tiniest gem in God's casket will glorify Him."
Concerning Christ's jewels who remained faithful in 1844, we read: "God's people were then accepted of Him. Jesus looked upon them with pleasure for His image was reflected in them. They had made a full sacrifice, an entire consecration, and expected to be changed to immortality." EW 239.
So then, in 1844 these faithful few members who loved the truth were precious jewels in God's casket. They were arranged in the casket, in the church, in perfect order and unity. In the Spirit of Prophecy they are described thus: "Pride and conformity to the world were swept away. Wrongs were made right, hearts were united in their sweetest fellowship and love and joy reigned supreme." GC 379.
When Miller looked at the casket and the jewels he thought their light and glory was equaled only by the sun. He was overjoyed by their brilliance, beauty, and value. At first the faithful small group studied the beauty of God's truths. I quote: "My husband, Elder Joseph Bates, Father Pearce, Elder Edison, a man who was keen, noble, and true, and many others whose names I can not now recall, were among those who after the passing of the time in 1844 searched for truth. At our important meetings these men would meet together and search for the truth as for hidden treasure. I met with them and we studied and prayed earnestly for we felt that we must learn God's truth. Often we remained together until late at night and sometimes through the entire night, praying for light and studying the Word. As we fasted and prayed great power came upon us." MR Vol. 3, 412, 413.
Still quoting, "Everyday they discovered new beauties in the sacred pages and a wonderful harmony running through all. One scripture explaining another and no word used in vain." LS 62.
Soon it was made clear to them that they were to share these astounding truths with others. "They had a clearer understanding of the first and second angels' message and were prepared to receive and give to the world the solemn warnings of the third angel of Rev. 14." GC 432.
At first but few were willing to listen. Those who did however, were interested, sincere, and honest in heart. So, together with the group they were content to gaze upon the casket with awe. But, sad to say, there came a change. The church was not to remain pure for long. Insincere spectators started to come in and as they increased they began to trouble the jewels. Finally, they took them out of the casket and scattered them all over the table and eventually, all about the room; on the floor, on the furniture, etc. The order and unity of the church was being destroyed. In sorrow we note that their troubles worsened. The insincere spectators began to scatter spurious jewels and counterfeit coins among the genuine. Unconverted souls were joining the church, becoming members in ever-increasing number. They were Satan's agents – his so-called jewels with their false, glittering, and spurious experiences.
In His parable of the wheat and the tares Jesus predicted that an enemy would sow tares in the field; that is, in the church. So it was that tares and wheat were now growing together in God's remnant church. See Matthew 13: 24-29. God refers to this phase of our church history when genuine and spurious
souls would mingle together in church fellowship as the church militant. Now the term 'militant' means, "Engaged in warfare, aggressively active." Webster's Dictionary.
We will note how appropriate this name is for our church during this period of time. For the tares began to bring into the church erroneous doctrines. Paul predicted this would happen in our day. He calls these errors doctrines of devils. I am reading 1 Timothy 4:1, "Now the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils."
How sad the picture of our church was to become. As time passed the spurious doctrines and practices that were increased and taught by worldly, liberal members of the church, were becoming more and more deceptive and deadly. Raucous forms of worship were being practiced such as drama and puppets. Before long, Celebration type of worship was spreading from church to church and from conference to conference as if it were a leprosy.
The faithful were faced with one unexpected worldly practice after another. Each one seeming to them to be worse then the former. The faithful jewels could scarcely believe it was actually happening. These false doctrines of devils and worldly practices are represented in Miller's dream by the dirt, the shavings, the sand, and the rubbish that were being tracked into the room. William Miller realizes his accountability and responsibility before God to keep the casket and the jewels intact for their Owner. He pled with the spectators but to no avail. He became highly incensed at their base conduct and ingratitude. He reproved and reproached them but the more he pled and rebuked them the more they brought in dirt, shavings, sand and rubbish, counterfeit coins and spurious jewels. Miller even attempted to use physical force. But as he pushed one out, three more would enter. All his pleadings, all his reproves, and even his attempt at physical force were useless. Alas, hundreds today have experienced the same. Many references in the inspired writings predict and warn us that just such a time as this would come into the church.
Ellen White herself warns us that erroneous theories would be taught to God's people in our day as if they were Bible truths. See Faith and Works p. 86. She also warns us and I quote: "Many will stand in our pulpits with a torch of false prophecy in their hands, kindled from the hellish torch of Satan. If doubts and unbeliefs are cherished, the faithful ministers will be removed from the people who think they know so much." TM 409, 410.
Could false church members become so much of a majority, and so powerful, that they could not only preach the hellish doctrines of Satan from our pulpits, but will also deny the use of our pulpits to the faithful? Think in over. It is happening today. Now the question, "how are the faithful hidden from sight?" If the faithful were banned from leadership positions and from our pulpits as suggested in the quotation I just read, are they not essentially hidden at least from the unfaithful majority?
Remember, however, the faithful jewels, though hidden, are still in that room. They are still present in God's church. Though they may be hidden as it were, they will be standing in the light of God's presence. They will be awake and aware of that which is transpiring in the church. They cannot but sigh and cry. Neither do they sit quietly by. What did the servant of the Lord see them doing? I will quote from 5T 209, 210. "At the time when the danger and depression of the church are greatest, the little company who are standing in the light will be sighing and crying for the abominations that are done in the land. But more especially will their prayers arise in behalf of the church because its members are doing after the manner of the world." Now just listen to this. "These sighing, crying ones reproved, counseled, and entreated, but the glory of the Lord had departed from Israel."
Now that is quite a statement. Although many still continued the forms of religion, His power and presence were lacking. How sad. And notice, "Their righteous souls are vexed day by day with the unholy work and conversation of the unrighteous. They are powerless to stop the rushing torrent of iniquity. And hence they are filled with grief and alarm. They mourn before God to see religion despised in the very homes of those who have had great light. They lament and afflict their souls because pride, avarice, selfishness, and deception of almost every kind are in the church."
How clearly stated is Ellen White's description of the activities of the faithful at the time when the danger of the church is the greatest. Is it not comparable to the feelings expressed by William Miller in his dream? Right. But alas, this was not the end of the works of the unfaithful. Lastly, even God's casket was torn apart. To add insult to insult the unfaithful, spurious jewels went so far as to tear God's casket apart and to throw it into the rubbish to be trodden underfoot.
What a picture! Rather than being unified at this time, the church is being torn apart by false members and counterfeit leaders. Confusion reigned. Because of this, the faithful experience great anguish. How can they fulfill their responsibility to keep the church pure so that she will be prepared to meet her Lord? Under such circumstances how can the pure gospel go to the whole world – to every nation, kindred, tongue and people? The entire world must hear the cry, "Prepare to meet thy God!" Who will be held accountable for all this error and upheaval in the church?
In utter despair Miller sat down and wept. It seemed no one regarded his sorrow. Then Miller remembered God. He prayed earnestly for help. Immediately his prayer was answered. A man with a dirt brush entered the room. After throwing the windows open the man began to sweep vigorously. Miller writes, " I cried to him to forbear, for there were some precious jewels scattered among the rubbish. He told me to 'fear not' for he would 'take care of them.'" How precious the thought! The man with the dirt brush needed no help from man. The final separation of the unfaithful from the faithful will be accomplished by the angels under the direct direction of Jesus Himself.
As the man with the dirt brush swept, what happened? All the dirt and the rubbish, false jewels and counterfeit coins (the unconverted) all arose up and went out the window and the wind carried them away. Note: Out the window went all the unfaithful members together with all their false doctrines of devils and their worldly practices. Praise the Lord!
But please note that this part of his dream actually describes the final cleansing of God's church. And this will take place in our day, and soon. Again I say, Praise God!
Now the question: "What will God use to accomplish this event?"
At what time in the history of this world will the man with the dirt brush enter to make his final cleansing? I trust you are listening. Ellen White answers: "It will be when the mark of the beast is enforced bringing severe persecution upon the church. The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us. Those who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the power of the beast rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment and death. The contest is between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. In this time the gold will be separated from the dross in the church. True godliness will be clearly distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it. Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will then go out in darkness. Chaff like a cloud will be borne away on the wind even from places where we see only floors of rich wheat." 5T 81.
But let us remember we must be patient for we are told that the wheat and the tares both grow together in the church until the Sunday laws bring about severe persecution. The Lord has this instruction to us in many different manuscripts that it will be then, and not until then, that the genuine gold will be separated from the spurious in the church. This is a last-day event. We all need to understand, so that we will not become discouraged. Let us patiently wait for this to happen in God's own timetable.
Once again,at the final purification, God's people will be divided into two groups. The faithful and the unfaithful. How sad that once again the majority will be unfaithful. They will go out the windows while the faithful, little company, will remain in the church. I quote from the 5T 136, "Soon God's people will be tested by fiery trials and the great proportion of those who appear to be genuine and true will prove to be base metal. To stand in defense of truth and righteousness when the majority forsake us, to fight the battles of the Lord when the champions are few, this will be our test."
Then from p. 80 in the same book we read, "The days of purification of the church are hastening on apace. God will have a people pure and true. In the mighty sifting soon to take place we shall be better able to measure the strength of Israel. The signs reveal that the time is near when the Lord will manifest that His fan is in His hand and He will thoroughly purge His floor."
Please note that in Miller's dream, the unfaithful rose up of their own volition and choosing and went out the window. Inspiration informs us that they choose to yield to the powers that be rather than suffer persecution. Why? From 5T 136, and this is speaking of every nation on earth, I quote: "The nation will be on the side of the great rebel leader." We come now to a most beautiful and encouraging part of Millers dream, for a new casket was placed on the table. Yes, but not until all the sinners in Zion had been blown away with the wind together with their doctrines of devils and worldly practices. It is then, but not until then, that a new casket was placed on the table. The new one is much larger and much more beautiful then that first one had been. At this point in his dream, the genuine jewels and true coins lay in confusion, scattered all about the room.
Please note once again: They did not go out. Rather the man who had the dirt brush, gathered up the jewels and the coins by the handful and cast them into the casket. This was done without any seeming effort on his part. At this point Miller closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them, all the jewels were not only all in the casket, but all were again arranged in perfect order and harmony. Take note, this casket shone with ten times its former glory. Praise God! What a glorious sight is soon to happen. As Millers dream finally develops to this glorious conclusion, it should be of great encouragement to God's church today. Has not God foretold that these times of despair and confusion are coming? A time when there would be error's and false members and false leaders?
But praise God He also tells us that there is a soon coming remedy. It is a certainty for it is the Lord who holds the fan of purification in His hand. But take note: The new casket is not a new church, it is the same Seventh-day Adventist church that had it's beginning in 1844, but it is now in a different phase of it's earthly history. No longer will she be overwhelmed with a majority who are promoting errors within her borders. No longer will she be called the church militant as the first casket had been called. God now refers to her as the church triumphant. This is the final phase of God's church on earth. The church triumphant is the new casket. In this casket, each jewel will be shining gloriously in its own place. Unity and order will be restored. The members cannot but be in perfect unity for all will be lead by the same Holy Spirit. I quote: "There will be no confusion because all will be in harmony with the mind of the Spirit. The barriers separating believer from believer will be broken down and God's servants will speak the same things." 8T 251. Isn't that wonderful?
In her book Early Writings , as well as in many other places in her writings, Ellen White describes the purified church. I'm quoting: "I was shown those whom I had before seen weeping and praying in agony of spirit. The company of guardian angels around them had been doubled and they were clothed with an armor from their head to their feet. They moved in exact order like a company of soldiers. Their countenances expressed the severe conflict which they had endured. The agonizing struggle they had passed through. Yet their features marked with severe internal anguish now shone with the light and the glory of heaven. They had obtained the victory and it called forth from them the deepest gratitude and holy, sacred joy. Evil angels still pressed around them but could have no power over them. I asked, 'What has made this great change?' An angel answered, 'It is the latter rain, the refreshing from the presence of the Lord. The Loud Cry of the third angel.'" EW 271.
Beloved, this purified church will be ready to give the pure gospel to the world with a loud cry. In exact order, like a company of soldiers they will quickly finish God's work on earth as they go forth triumphant conquering to conquer. Remember my recent tape entitled, "With Supernatural Intervention"? During the past week it was vividly impressed again upon my mind. I had gone shopping again for another car. Imagine my surprise when the dealer was filling out the papers and asked what work I was employed in. I replied, "I am a retired Seventh-day Adventist minister." Suddenly he stopped what he was doing and said, "Good! I'm going to ask you a lot of questions."
Then he told me he was a born-again Christian, a member of a Baptist church. He wanted to know the difference between my church and his. I began to explain the Sabbath and other truths when he interrupted. "My church believes in keeping nine of the commandments but I am beginning to believe that we should be keeping all ten."
He continued, "I'm beginning to believe God's Word is both the Old and the New Testament." I agreed. He continued, "Tell me about your worship service. Do you believe in Celebration music? I mean electric guitars and Christian rock music?" I replied, "I certainly do not."
He continued, "And what about drama in the divine service?" I could hardly believe what I was hearing. Then he said, "And what about those Christian ditties when they sing and repeat over and over and over the same words?" Oh how my heart went out to him for I believed the same. He also expressed his disapproval in clapping and members using the divine service to go about shaking hands with their friends and guests, creating a bedlam in God's holy sanctuary. You know, I was almost speechless. All this from a non-Adventist!
He continued, "I am spending more time studying my Bible and reading spiritual books. I believe something big is about to happen. The end is approaching. That's why I've moved out of the city into the country." I just couldn't believe I was listening to one who was still in Babylon.
He went on, "We are homeschooling our three children and we pushed the TV out the door six years ago." As he spoke I found this young man I judged to be in his early 40's to be the type of a man that will answer the call when the latter rain falls and the Loud Cry is given. And I believe he will be one of those who will join God's people to finish the work.
I invited him to attend a nearby Adventist church not far from his home. Fortunately, the pastor of this church believes in the same kind of worship service that God demands when we come to worship Him. I also gave him the Desire of Ages and the Antichrist book and promised to send him The Great Controversy after he read the books I gave him. As I left I felt strangely sad, for the majority of Seventh-day Adventist who are now so sound asleep and who soon will give up their faith.
But praise God, there are those now in Babylon who are awake and getting ready to join us for the final call to become a part of God's faithful few. I have no doubt that God's true church will triumph.
Here is Solomon's description of the new casket, the new church. "Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, terrible as an army with banners." Song of Solomon 7:10 All new members who join the church in the midst of persecution such as the world has never before experienced will first be purified by the blood of the Lamb and truly converted. Each one will take his place in the casket adding beauty and luster to the church for we are told in scripture that, "There shall no more enter into it anything that defileth." Revelation 21:27. What a promise! These shall be, "Men wondered at," by the entire universe. Zecharaiah 3:8. We need to know what is coming, and how to prepare to stand in this soon coming final event. Adults, young people and children all need to be aware of what is happening in our church and of coming events. " I saw that Satan was working through agents in a number of ways. He was at work through ministers who have rejected the truth and are given over to strong delusions to believe a lie that they might be damned. Oh, that all could get a view of it as God revealed it to me, that they might know more of the wiles of Satan and be on their guard." EW 43,44.
Beloved, it is time to wake up! Wake up, dear ones! For the man with the dirt brush is soon to enter our church. "Get ready, get ready, get ready!" EW 66. This is our message.
Let us pray. Oh dear Father, how can we thank Thee for giving us such a clear picture of Thy plan to cleanse Thy church and revealing to the world a people without spot or blemish. Help us, Father, to be among Thy genuine gems. We ask in the name of Jesus, Amen.


Dad was a man who liked to run his own show.
He had taken on responsibility early and never really relinquished it. In 1947 – at the age of 18 – he lost his father and took on the family woodworking machinery business. He completed his engineering degree two years after his father's death, but had very little idea of how to run a business, as he openly acknowledged.
So he put on a pair of overalls and took lessons from the tradesmen – his employees – working his way up from machine tool operator, to salesman, to accountant and – finally – to designer. AB Campbell Pty Ltd* became very successful, and Dad was rightly proud of his achievements.
There's an old black-and-white photo on Mum's sideboard of a young Dad in the early 1970s, shaking hands with Governor General Sir Paul Hasluck. He was being presented with an export award for his company's achievements. It was, as far as I know, the only official recognition he received.
In the twelve months since his death, I have come to know my father better.
Mum has taken comfort in talking about him and I'm a willing listener. I learned that he always thought he deserved greater public recognition for his design and innovation. He certainly got none from his five children. We were too busy trying to get our parents' attention. And he was, after all, our greatest obstacle. One of life's great pontificators, he loved to hold the floor at the family dinner table.
In the months after Dad's death, I was researching my grandfather for a piece I was writing for The Big Issue. My google search took me to an online woodworking forum, and a 2013 conversation 'thread' that went over seven pages. The instigator of the conversation had the username ABCampbell1970.
I'd stumbled onto a strange brotherhood of fanboy carpenters, bent on painstakingly putting together the history of the family business started by my grandfather and carried on by his son.
I followed entry after breathless entry of false leads, hypotheses and forensic research by this group of what I imagined to be ninety year old ex-tradies with too much time on their hands. It became evident they were unaware of the existence of my father, or the central role he played in the success of the company that bore the name he and his father shared. So I joined up – to a woodworking forum! – and sent this message.
I'm about 5 years too late but I'm AB Campbell's granddaughter. I may be able to help you if you're still interested.
What followed was an avalanche of enthusiastic responses that culminated in a meeting with ABCampbell1970. Arriving at the nominated cafe, I looked about me for a nonagenarian in overalls. Beaming at me from across the room was a fresh-faced 48 year old called Matty.
Our meeting was slightly surreal for both of us.
Matty couldn't quite believe he was having a cup of tea with the daughter of AB Campbell. I was having difficulty coming to grips with the fact that my father had a posthumous fan club that hadn't, until recently, known of his existence.
Matty had been close to tracking down AB Campbell a number of times over the years. The last time was a week after Dad's death. A truck driver making a delivery of timber at Matty's yard recognised his AB Campbell machine.
Elizabeth, it was on my birthday.
Over the course of the next two hours, Matty and I exchanged information. He described the 14-year-old he once was, besotted by AB Campbell woodworking machines – 'the last of the great woodworking machines made in Australia'. People are bidding on my father's machines! Even the name plates are in high demand on e-bay.
I gave Matty a copy of Dad's memoir Recollections of a working life. It might have been the holy grail, so careful was his handling of it. Inside it were the answers to all his questions. His reverence for my father's achievements was touching. It also almost broke my heart.
Retelling the story to Mum, we were both excruciatingly aware of how much Dad would have loved to meet Matty and talk to him about the business. In 2013, when the woodwork forum conversation took place, Dad was still fit and healthy. Together Mum and I worked our way through that sad conversation and came out the other side. We agreed that Dad would be delighted that, at last, his family finally became aware of his brilliance. He had, after all, been telling us about it for years.
Three months down the track, Matty and I remain in touch.
I was thinking of making this little missing fish AB Campbell grey. What do you think – too industrial?
Too adorable. I've left it up to him to decide.
Finding Matty has helped me to find a way through my grief.
And I didn't even know that's what I was trying to do. We can put off the grieving process by keeping ourselves busy, concentrating on those family members we feel are in greater need. But eventually it will hit us like a wave – not once, but multiple times.
Today – my father's birthday – I am in another country, looking out over gentle hills and farmland, and thinking about him. I realise I have been having trouble trying to reconcile my feelings for this bombastic, brilliant, impatient, unknowable, loving and, most of all, complex man.
Like that little fish, Dad was a one-of-a-kind who refused to blend into the crowd – a little bit industrial grey and a little bit rainbow coloured – and I loved him.
*The business name has been changed.
It's been a wild ride Liz. I'm delighted to have you on board.
Beautiful tender story Elizabeth. It is interesting, fun and sometimes confronting to find out that our parents had lives before us. And when we do find the "person" behind the Mum or Dad monniker perhaps it helps us understand them a little better. Bravo, my friend!
Glad you liked it Erica. And yes – I think I understand him a bit better. He was brilliant after all!


He wouldn't let a little acrophobia keep him from this view.
He was crawling on the edge of Dun Aonghasa, a clifftop in Ireland that was a prehistoric stone fort used by the ancient Irish to protect part of the western edge of the country, from more than a 3,000 years ago. Today, it's a wildly popular tourist attraction, heralded as one of the world's most breathtaking views. The rocky cliffs span eight miles and are more than 700 feet above the cold waters of the north Atlantic, resulting in certain death for anybody who jumps or falls from the extreme heights. This is not a place for people with a fear of heights, known in the psychiatry world as acrophobia.
"I can't look," he says, laughing at his phobia.
"Yeah, you can, you got this," says his wife.
What makes people afraid of heights, especially those who develop the phobia later in life?
It should be noted that a fear of heights is different from just recognizing that falling could result in injury, though. A 2013 study published in Psychological Science, found that when babies learn to crawl, they don't appear afraid of falling at all. Around the age of nine months, a fear of falling develops as they have gained experience moving around their worlds.

9. Latest 'High Gear' Book Maps Success for College Grads, Millennials - Thursday, May 19, 2016
The 21 million U.S. students enrolled in postsecondary schools grew up with technology and the hourly clock of life ticking ever faster. Yet this has not always translated into a generation of young people ready to attack a world that waits for no one.
10. When Your Ship Doesn't Come In, High Gear Says, 'Swim to It!' - Saturday, February 20, 2016
One of the most exciting – and also challenging – things about business ownership as an entrepreneur is that things are always changing, creating both opportunities as well as threats.
The recent explosion in technology advances have allowed businesses to become more flexible, more mobile and definitely more efficient. I have recently shifted my business accordingly and have been able to increase my bottom line while reducing overhead through technology. Women who own businesses must balance their time and prioritize important tasks constantly.
11. Last Word: Winter Pre-Game Show, The Zoo Goes To Court And Hotel Fever - Friday, January 22, 2016
You wouldn't call this the eye of the storm, would you? We'll go with calling this the pre-game show for the winter storm that is supposed to show up in Memphis at around 7 a.m. Friday morning. Think Super Bowl pre-game.
There is so much that's been said in advance of this that whatever happens, it might be hard to live up to the preparation.
Much of the rest of this is like an arms race of sorts.
Consider the equipment list from Memphis International Airport.
10 snow brooms, 12 plow trucks, four de-icing trucks each with 40,000 gallons of deicer, four 2-ton salt spreaders and four tractors to keep the runways clear.
The city of Memphis Public Works division has eight snow plows ready to roll on major thoroughfares if the snow gets within the three-inch mark. A set of 16 salt trucks were to load up at 11 p.m. Thursday evening to begin applying salt and sand when needed, with continual inspections of road conditions. And that includes some pre-treated priority areas.
And then there was this truly unusual announcement from Shelby County Schools: the optional school parent camp-out was suspended Thursday evening because of the weather.
This is the camp out the school system tries its best to discourage each and every year at this time. That includes bar-coded applications and repeatedly emphasizing that 99.9 percent of those with the bar-coded applications get their first choice of optional schools, making the camp-out unnecessary. The applications are handed out over several days and are then time-stamped when they are turned in for consideration.
Nevertheless, the tents go up each year and voices are raised in the debate about whether this is parents who care more or parents who are carried away.
This year, the school system, while emphasizing that it "does not authorize or direct" the camp-out, says the line will resume Sunday at 7 a.m.
The school system also adds: "The current process being managed by parents will be recognized due to potential health and safety risks related to forecasted inclement weather."
But is there a line to get back in line? And when does that start?

If it was just an abstraction or a mere theory, it wouldn't have a definition in the dictionary or a website. It would simply be another urban myth.
But with a few keystrokes you can go right to www.glassceiling.com. And the dictionary definition of "glass ceiling" is tangible – "an unfair system or set of attitudes that prevents some people (such as women or people of a certain race) from getting the most powerful jobs." In fact, you can almost see a woman stuck in middle management, briefcase in hand, staring up at that glass ceiling and wondering: Where do I find the ladder that gets me from here to there?

53. 'Everybody's Down Here' - Thursday, May 13, 2010

By the Sale and Transfer of Shares Agreement signed today, Kruna Bakery acquired ownership of 90.36 % shares of capital stock of Mlinar d.d. Križevci. Kruna Bakery purchased 168,039 class ''A'' ordinary shares and 59,385 class ''B'' ordinary shares. The sale did not include the company Moslavka d.d. in Kutina or Žitnjak d.d. in Zagreb, or the flour milling activity which will remain part of Agrokor's portfolio.
As Mr Škojo has been part of the bread-making business for years now, as well as the owner of Kruna industrial bakery, his entering the Mlinar Company will considerably contribute to the development of bread-making activities in Croatia.
