The end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century is a very significant time in the earth's history. The year 1798 was the end of papal rule in Europe with the capture of the pope by the French General Berthier under Napoleon. This period also brings a close to the Protestant Reformation that had started in the 1300's and a surge in church growth. It also brings a new world power onto the scene, the United States. And, it brings to fulfillment the 2,300 day prophecy by the prophet Daniel.
Dear Lord. As we get into this important time in earth's history, help us to understand your plan for our salvation. We thank you for your love and care for us. Amen.
We can now say that we are living in the time of the end. There is only a short time left. How long? Nobody knows. But if you can read the signs of the times, you can see for yourself that this world cannot last much longer.We see wars happening all around the world, and each year they get worse. We have natural (or un-natural) calamities occurring with more frequency and with greater force and covering greater areas. We have floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, droughts, nuclear disasters, everything you could possibly think of. We hear of new diseases that we have never had before. Regular bacteria are now becoming "super- bugs" which cannot be killed. Our world today is not the same world it was even only 20 years ago. Food contamination such as E. Coli and Salmonella are now common occurrences. How much longer? Revelation 7:1-3 says, "And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads." We can truly say today that those angels are slowly loosening their hold on the four winds, and when they finally let go, time's up. Let's look at the four items we mentioned in the introduction regarding the late 1700's to early 1800's.
As we talked about in an earlier lesson, the papacy became the de facto government of Europe in A.D. 538. According to Daniel and Revelation, this power (beast) was given 1,260 years until it receives a "deadly wound". In other words, Papal Rome would rule Europe from A.D. 538 until A.D. 1798 at which time, Rome would lose its power to govern through some type of wound. That's exactly what happened. We saw in Lesson Five, that Clovis, king of the Franks set up the papacy to be favored in A.D. 508. Emperor Justinian recognized the spiritual power of Rome and Papal Rome took over the temporal government when it removed the last three Arian tribes. It then ruled until 1798 when General Berthier of France under Napoleon, entered the Vatican, captured Pope Pius IV and took him prisoner back to France where he died. This was the deadly wound. Since that time, the papacy has not had any temporal power. As we see from the following verses, this time period has been expressed a number of ways. In Daniel 7:25, time equals a 360 day year, times equals 2 years, and dividing of time equals a half year. Three and a half years equals 3 1/2 times 360 equals 1,260 days or 42 months. Using the day-year principle, this gives us 1,260 years. Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. According to this verse, the little horn will talk against the principles of God, it will persecute the saints, it will change times and laws, and it will last for 1,260 years. We've seen that the papacy fits all these criteria. Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. This verse says that the power would scatter or weaken the people who follow Jesus. This would occur over the 1,260 years.Rev 12:6 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. Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. The woman. or God's church, would have a wilderness experience over the 1,260 years, but God would sustain His church during that time. Rev 11:2 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. This verse refers to the outer court of the sanctuary. He says that the holy principles of God will be trampled on for 42 months which is 1,260 days (years). Rev 13:5 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. This power who speaks against God would last 1,260 years. This time period of 1,260 prophetic days or actual years is repeated over and over to make sure that it is not mistaken. God wants tomake sure you understand. Satan also wants to make sure you are confused. He tries to divert your attention from him by providing "alternate" interpretations using different means of interpreting prophecy. We can be sure of at least one thing, the papal system was taken out of power forcibly in A.D. 1798 and that meets the criteria of a "deadly wound". The capture and death of the pope resulted in a great spiritual awakening around the world. Bible scholars began to study their Bibles with a renewed interest. The vision of Daniel concerning the 2,300 days began to be studied with more interest. God had sealed up that portion (see verse below) of the vision so people would not understand it, but now as people started to study the prophecies of Daniel 8 and Revelation, they began to see that the 2,300 day prophecy was about to be fulfilled. Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
The 1800's saw a growth of churches, but most of them were not following the teachings of the reformers. Joseph Smith started the Mormon church in the early 1800's before he died in 1844. In the late 1800's, Mary Baker Eddy started the Church of Christ, Scientist. The Zion Watchtower Tract Society became the Jehovah's Witnesses in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The Fox sisters were instrumental in starting the Spiritualist Movement in the late 1800's. Although they later recanted and said it had all been a hoax, nevertheless the movement continued to grow after their deaths. In the last hundred and fifty years, new denominations have sprouted up all over the place . Many of these new denominations have little to do with Christianity. Satan is really trying to confuse everyone. The more people he can divert away from Christ, the happier he is. It's interesting to note that the beginnings of the theory of evolution was put into print in 1844 (Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation).
This time period also saw the establishment of a new power, the United States of America. Revelation 13 describes the emergence of this power.Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. This verse talks about a power rising from the sea. Before we look at the verse about the US, let's look at Revelation 17:1 and vs 15. Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. The Bible tells us that waters is a symbol for population. The beast in Revelation 13:1 which came from the sea, came from a populated area. Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. This verse describes a power that comes from the earth or an unpopulated area. If you read the first part of Revelation 13, you will see that this beast or power comes after the captivity of the beast power from the sea. The United States is the only country that fits this description.
As Bible scholars began to study the prophecies, people started to preach about the coming of Christ. Johann Albrecht Bengel was born in Germany in 1687 and became a renowned Lutheran scholar and Bible expositor. He was accused of manipulating calendars to espouse his beliefs of the second coming, but even in the early to mid 1700's, he had already identified the end of the 2,300 days as being within a few years of the 1844 date. Francois Samuel Robert Louis Gaussen was born in Switzerland in 1790. He becameinvolved with the Swiss reformer Farel. He also studied the prophecies of Daniel and disagreed with William Miller not on the time, but the event. He believed that the world would be converted at the end of the 2,300 days.Joseph Wolff was born a Jew. At an early age he was told that Jesus was the Messiah and had been crucified. He at once went home and read Isaiah 51 and realized that what he had heard was true. He continued his religious studies until 1821 when he started to travel around the world and preach the gospel. He was known as "missionary to the world". It is said that there were seven hundred preachers in England who were preaching the message of Jesus' second coming in 1844. Manuel Lacunza, was a Jesuit priest who was born in Santiago, Chile in 1731. He began to study prophecy and wrote under the pen name "Rabbi Juan Josaphat Ben-Ezra" to protect his identity. In 1790, he wrote his 3 volume "The Coming of the Messiah in Glory andMajesty". This was secretly published in Spain in 1810 and a second edition was printed in London in 1816. The Spanish Inquisition placed it on the list of banned books in 1819. William Miller whom we talked about in the previous lesson, carried the work mainly to the eastern United States but his influence was carried far beyond that. It is said that his followers numbered up to half a million until the day after Christ was supposed to come but didn't. There was a tremendous breaking away until only a handful of about 50 were left. This was known as "The Great Disappointment".
The Bible talks of a great disappointment when Jesus was on this earth. If you read the gospels, people were ready to crown Jesus king, yet only a few short hours later, He was being crucified on the cross. Can you imagine that disappointment. When that happened, what was left was a small handful of people, the 11 disciples and a few other close friends. Their disappointment came from a lack of understanding. Jesus had foretold His death many times, but they did not understand. The disappointment in Miller's time also came from a lack of understanding. The belief at that time was that the earth was the sanctuary and the cleansing of the sanctuary meant that the earth would be destroyed and recreated. It wasn't until the day after the disappointment when a man named Hiram Edson, while walking through a corn field, had a vision or a dream about the heavenly sanctuary. This led the small group that remained, to deeper Bible study to understand the heavenly sanctuary.
In order to understand a little more of the heavenly sanctuary and its services, we need to look at the earthly sanctuary and its services back in the days of Moses. If you remember from Lesson Three, we talked about the various festivals and feasts that the Israelites were instructed to keep. Of all of these festivals, the second last festival was the Day of Atonement, announced by the Blowing of the Trumpets, followed by the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Booths. The first of these feasts were fulfilled by Jesus. He was crucified on the Passover, and He returned to heaven briefly for the Wave Sheaf on the day He arose. He also ascended to heaven 40 days after the Passover with the saints who were resurrected when He was. This was the first fruits who were presented to God, This was then followed by the Pentecost where the Holy Spirit was given to the disciples. All thatwas left to fulfill was the Blowing of the Trumpets to call the people to the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles.
In the Jewish sanctuary services, whenever a person sinned, they would bring a sacrifice to the sanctuary, place their hands on the head of the sacrificial animal and then kill the animal. By placing their hands on the head of the animal, they were symbolically transferring their sins to the animal. After killing the animal, by slitting its throat, they would catch the blood in a bowl and the blood, symbolically carrying the sin, would then be either poured out at the base of the altar of sacrifice or placed on the horns of the Altar of Incense or sprinkled before the veil separating the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. Leviticus 4:3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering. 4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before theLORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD. 5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation: 6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary. 7 And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at thedoor of the tabernacle of the congregation. Leviticus 3:2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. Leviticus 4:13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty; 14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of thecongregation. 15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD. 16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation: 17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail. 18 And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. As you can see from reading these texts, there was a lot of blood that was spilt. You can imagine that if this is happening every day, thesanctuary would be polluted. This is what sin does. It pollutes the sanctuary. This is what Satan did to the heavenly sanctuary.
What Was The Day Of Atonement?
When God gave Moses directions about the sanctuary, He told Moses that there was to be a Day of Atonement once a year, on the tenth day of the seventh month. Exod 30:10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements:once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD. Lev 23:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath. This Day of Atonement was the most solemn day of the year. This was the day that the sanctuary was to be cleansed. Throughout the entire year, as the sins, in the form of blood, polluted the sanctuary, the sanctuary needed to go through a cleansing experience. But it was more than a cleansing experience for the sanctuary, it was also a cleansing time for the priests and the people.
The Day of Atonement was preceded by the Blowing of the Trumpets. This was nine days before the Day of Atonement. Lev 23:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. The Blowing of the Trumpets announced the coming Day of Atonement to the entire camp. This gave everyone nine days to prepare. They were to cleanse their homes and themselves to get ready for the Day of Atonement. Num 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you. 2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year withoutblemish: 3 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, 4 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 5 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you: 6 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
Nine days after the Blowing of the Trumpets, on the tenth day of the seventh month, the entire camp celebrated the Day of Atonement. The High Priest went through special ceremonies to wash and purify himself. This was the holiest day of the year and this was the day that the high priest went into the Most Holy Place of the Sanctuary and stood before the Mercy Seat in the presence of God. Let's read about this special day in Leviticus chapter 16.Lev 16:2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat. 3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. 5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. 6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. So we see that the High Priest had special instructions for cleansing for that Holy Day. Lev 16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. 9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell,and offer him for a sin offering. 10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.Part of the ceremony involved two young goats. On the north side of the courtyard was a large urn containing two lots. One lot was for the Lord and one lot was for the scapegoat. The priest would put his hands in the urn and take out the two lots, one in each hand. He would then place his hands over the head of each goat and open his hands to see which goat was destined for the Lord and which goat as the scapegoat. They would then mark the goats appropriately for later use in the ceremony. Lev 16:11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself: 12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail: 13 And he shall put theincense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not: 14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. This first offering of the blood of the bull was for the sins of the High Priest. After the High Priest would offer the Blood and Incense before the mercy seat, he would then come back out of the Most Holy Place to kill the goat for the sins of the people. Lev 16:15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: 16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make anatonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel. 18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. 19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. When the High Priest returns to the Most Holy Place, he does it with the blood of the goat to atone for the sins of the people. He completes the cleansing process and returns to the courtyard to attend to the scapegoat. When he returns to the courtyard, he is carrying (symbolically) all the sins that have been placed in the sanctuary during the past year. At this point, he lays his hands on the head of the live goat and transfers the sins of the people onto live goat. This live goat is then led into the desert and left there. It is not killed. Lev 16:20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: 21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: 22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. At this point, the special ceremonies are over so the High Priest returns to the Holy Place, changes his clothes and returns to the courtyard to offer a sacrifice for him and the people. Lev 16:23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: 24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. 25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. 26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp. 27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. 28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. Now while all this is going on at the sanctuary, the people have their own duties to perform. Their duties are to humble themselves before the Lord and to examine themselves to see that they have no sin that they are clinging to. As we continue in these lessons you will see that we are in the Day of Atonement right now, ever since October 22, 1844. Lev 16:29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: 30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. 31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. Lev 16:32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate tominister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: 33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of thecongregation. 34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
We see that Jesus fulfilled the other feasts to date so this Day of Atonement is obviously something to be fulfilled by Jesus also. Let's examine this ceremony step by step but with Jesus as the High priest. The Blowing of the Trumpets was the preaching of Lacunza, Joseph Wolff, William Miller and others who were preaching about the coming of Jesus which was expected to happen in 1844. As mentioned previously, they got the time right but the event wrong. However, they were definitely blowing the trumpets. Daniel 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." With so many people preaching that something important was going to happen in 1844, we have to realize that something important WAS going to happen. If we look back at the day of Atonement in the Old Testament, and if we see the state of the world around us today, itmakes a lot of sense that Jesus is fulfilling the role of the High priest in the heavenly sanctuary today. On the Day of Atonement, the High Priest entered into the Most Holy Place in the sanctuary to cleanse the sins of the people. We can draw from this that on October 22, 1844, Jesus went into the Most Holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary to cleanse the heavenly sanctuary of all the sins of His people that have happened since Adam. When Jesus entered into the Most Holy Place, instead of the blood of animals, He presented His blood before the Mercy Seat of God. It was His blood that paid for our sins.Revelation 22:12 says, 'Behold I come quickly and my reward with me…" Revelation 11: 1 Says, "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." By looking at these two verses we can come to two conclusions: 1. When Jesus comes, He already knows who He is going to reward 2. He is going to "measure" those people who are in the temple, in other words, those who believe in Him. To measure means to judge. This means that before He returns to this earth, He is going through a judgment phase. But the people being judged are the righteous not the wicked. He will have plenty of time to do that later as we will see in another lesson. Revelation also talks about a sealing of God's people before He returns. He cannot seal His people until He knows who are faithful to Him. This can only happen through the judgment process. Rev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Once Jesus has cleansed His people from their sins and they are sealed with the Seal of God, His duties in the Most Holy Place are over. He leaves the Sanctuary with but two more things to do. He changes His priestly robes and puts on His kingly robes. The last act is to take all the sins of the people and place them on the head of the scapegoat and lead the scapegoat into the desert. Who is the scapegoat? Satan. All the sins of the righteous are placed on the head of Satan and he is bound for a thousand years. We will cover that in a later lesson.
What Comes After The Day of Atonement?
The next festival that came soon after the Day of Atonement was the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Booths. The Israelites made booths of boughs and stayed in them for a week. Lev 23:42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: 43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. I'm looking forward to living in these booths in heaven to celebrate our deliverance from this old earth.
Rev 10:6 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: The first eleven chapters of Revelation deal with the period from the first century to the early 1800's, with the exception of the seventhtrumpet and the seventh seal. Daniel's time period of 2,300 days ends in 1844 and his 1,290 days ends in 1798 and the 1,335 days end in 1844. Revelation's 1,260 days ends in 1798. These are almost all the time prophecies with the exception of the two time prophecies in the 5th and 6th trumpets. The last of these two ended in 1840 (I know we haven't covered this). There are no more time prophecies left in the Bible that go past 1844. Some people try to say that the seven trumpets start after 1844, but if you go back to Daniel 2, he presents the entire history of the world in the image of the dream. Another item that places the trumpets before 1844 is the fact that the seven trumpets start with the angel at the altar of incense in the Holy Place. If you recognize that 1844 represents the time when Jesus entered into the Most Holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary, then the seven trumpets must start before 1844. Besides, prophecy students have placed the 5th trumpet ending in 1449 and the 6th trumpet ending in 1840. The verse above in Revelation 10:6 just confirms that we are in the very last days. If you put the verse in context you will see that John is still to preach. That means that time will continue for a while longer. The above paragraphs explain why historicists interpret this text to mean that there will be no more prophecies relating to time between now and when Jesus returns.
How Does This Show The Love Of God?
God has given us all this information. He wants us to know what will happen before it happens. When Jesus was born, God provided John the Baptist to lead people to Jesus. At the end of the 2,300 days, God raised people to preach His message. HE WANTS US TO KNOW. God does not want anyone to be lost. He is doing everything He can to bring us closer to Him. At the final judgment, people will know that they, and they only, are responsible for the fact that they are lost. They will recognize that God did all He could but they refused His FREE GIFT of eternal life. He tells us, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) It's up to you.
Wikipedia has a lot of information. You can look up any of the topics presented in this lesson. Another good book to read is, The GreatControversy by Ellen G. White. She actually lived through the Great Disappointment and the spiritual growth that occurred at the time.

Digital Screen Room
400 SCREENS
1 OPERATOR
Coat, Image, Expose, and Rinse Pre-Registered Screens
Watch M&R's Digital Screen Room in Action
Fast, high-quality screen printing starts with high-quality screens, and M&R's Digital Screen Room concept is dedicated to dramatically reducing screen-production time while making substantial improvements to image quality and consistency.
Coat screens with
UNI-KOTE
Uni-Kote™ provides a reliable, low-cost option for automating screen coating. The computerized control center, conveniently mounted at the side of the screen coating machine, makes programming simple. Uni-Kote's front and rear screen coaters can apply emulsion in tandem or independently, allowing operators to coat each side of the screen separately, both sides simultaneously, or just one side. M&R's Job Recall™ allows users to save up to five screen coating jobs for added convenience and quick changeover.
Image & Expose screens with
i-IMAGE STE I
Image STE I™ computer-to-screen imaging and exposure system uses M&R's TriSync™ alignment feature (U.S. Patent Pending) to quickly register screens and generate images on the inward pass. i-Image STE I then exposes the emulsion with a flatbed UV LED light source. This combination of imaging and exposure in one machine dramatically reduces the time and effort required to prepare images for screen printing.
More Options and More Productivity
Other models in the i-Image Series include the i-Image S™, the i-Image ST™, the i-Image X™, and the i-Image XE™.
The three-printhead i-Image XE (US Patent Pending. European Patent Application No. 14721111.4) is ideal for imaging and exposing oversize screens as well as for exposing multiple textile screens simultaneously. Maximum screen size is 152 x 152 cm (60" x 60") and maximum image area is 132 x 132 cm (52" x 52").
i-Image S, i-Image ST, and i-Image X have all the imaging features and capabilities of i-Image STE I and i-Image XE, but without exposure capability. i-Image ST is available with one, two, or three printheads, and it has maximum image areas of 51 x 66 cm (20" x 26") or 51 x 76 cm (20" x 30"). The three-printhead i-Image X has a maximum image area of 132 x 132 cm (52" x 52"). The single-printhead i-Image S has a maximum image area of 51 x 66 cm (20" x 26"). It's perfect for screen printers who process fewer than 100 screens per 8-hour shift.

JasperReports IO is a new breed of reporting and data visualization engine designed for today's software builders. Generate reports and visualizations that are fast, highly interactive, and seamlessly embeddable into modern web applications—all powered by a container-ready, RESTful service that can be leveraged by any developer.
Deployment options It's a surprise!
JasperReports IO exposes its functionality through a powerful REST API. This enables developers to access it using simple API calls and eliminates the need to use specific programming languages to leverage the engine.
JasperReports IO ships with a Dockerfile making it easy to deploy in a Docker container and a natural fit for DevOps pipelines. Run the same setup in staging as production, update existing versions and deploy new ones with ease, and achieve operational excellence.
Unlike most approaches to BI & Analytics that bundle many capabilities and features into a single service, JasperReports IO takes a microservices approach and is deliberately designed to do just one thing very well—generate data visualizations and reports. This specialization makes it significantly lighter and faster than traditional tools.
JasperReports IO is based on TIBCO JasperReports Library, the wildly popular reporting engine with more than 15 million downloads in its lifetime. JasperReports IO acts as a REST API wrapper on top of the JasperReports Library Java API.
Control the set of visualizations your users see and customize the selector UI with optional properties.
Adopt the styling of your host application into embedded data visualizations automatically.
View large result sets in crosstabs with infinite scrolling, only loading data as it's required making a big impact on performance.
Set up dynamic input controls to make it even easier for your users to manipulate data.
Query data for Ad Hoc Views with lightning speed using a new RESTful API.
Give users greater control over time series data by enabling them to calculate aggregate time values of the first or last values in a time series. This benefits scenarios where opening and closing balance values (such as Inventory and Cash Balances) are measured.
See your data in a time-intelligent way with the ability to group time series data into Day of the Week aggregates.
Create content in TIBCO Jaspersoft using TIBCO Spotfire® data files (SBDF).

The world's most popular compression program just got better. WinZip 14.5 Pro adds a slew of useful features to the venerable program's already impressive suite, most notably adding a Microsoft Office-style ribbon that puts all of the program's considerable power within easy reach. No longer will you need to hunt through deep levels of menus. You can now perform tasks such as burning .zip files to a CD or DVD, or sending a .zip file via FTP, with a single click on the ribbon.
If you're a ribbon hater, you can always revert to the earlier WinZip interface by clicking the Settings menu, selecting Options, and on the View tab pick an earlier WinZip interface, either the previous wizard or what the program calls "Legacy menus/toolbar." You'll get access to all of the program's features from that toolbar, even the new ones.
There are plenty of other new features in WinZip in addition to the ribbon, such as a Zip file previewer, which lets you look inside Zip files when you're using Windows Explorer or Microsoft Outlook. New backup capabilities include the ability to back up files in .zip format to digital cameras and phones.
This new version includes all the features previously introduced in version 14, many of which were aimed at Windows 7 users. Goodies specific to 7 include integration with Windows 7 Libraries and Jump Lists. In addition, using the capabilities of Windows 7 Libraries, WinZip Standard users can zip files in multiple folder together in a single action, no matter where they are located. WinZip integrates with Windows 7 Jump Lists. Pin WinZip to the Taskbar, right-click its icon, and you can perform many zip-related tasks, including opening a zip archive and creating a new zip archive, among others.
WinZip 14.5 Pro works with previous versions of Windows, not just Windows 7. As was the case with WinZip 14 Standard, it includes improved security for encrypted files. It will automatically destroy temporary, created-for-viewing, copies of encrypted files. It also will work with Intel-based hardware that uses built-in AES encryption. And, like earlier versions of WinZip, it includes the ability to easily zip and mail files, and extracting files from .iso images.
This version of WinZip Pro also includes the .zipx compression standard introduced in a previous version of WinZip, which increased compression to a greater degree than the standard .zip. That standard will even compress .jpg files, which themselves are already compressed. A PCWorld review of an earlier version found the .zipx standard can shrink .jpg files by as much as 20 percent (WinZip claims to have reached 25%, but PCWorld reviewers haven't seen yet that level of compression). That's about 200MB saved for every gigabyte of photos.
Why buy WinZip Pro if zip support is already built into Windows? If you don't use zip archives frequently, then there's no reason to buy WinZip; Windows does simple jobs perfectly well. But if you want a ribbon interface putting many features within easy reach, better compression ratios, better integration with Windows 7, and extras such as making it easier to zip and mail archives, the Standard version is worth paying for.
Note that when you install WinZip Pro, it will ask to also install the Uniblue RegistryBooster2 trial version. The trial version of Uniblue RegistryBooster2 will scan your registry for errors, but fix only 15 of them. If you don't want it installed, select "No thanks, please just install WinZip." You won't be asked again.

A place where authors help fellow authors.
November 13, 2015 by TFestAdministrator
By Jeff Wilson
To me Pitchfest embodies what ITW and Thrillerfest really are, at their hearts: a place where authors help fellow authors.
I joined ITW in late 2011 and attended my first Thrillerfest in the summer of 2012. I had a debut novel from 2011 and a new novel just out and was thrilled to be a part of everything. I made some great friends, many of whom were authors I had read for years, and had a great time. Two years later, after my third novel with a small, genre press was out, these new friends encouraged me to participate in Pitchfest so I could get my work to a larger house and reach more readers. I took their advice, and it was the best thing I ever did for my career.
I pitched a new book to about twelve agents that I had researched in advance. Ten of them asked for the manuscript but my phone call with Gina Panettieri from Talcott Notch led to an instant connection and I knew she was the agent for me and my work. We signed a few months later.
As a result of that connection, I have two thriller series which I write with Brian Andrews—the NICK FOLEY series with Crooked Lane Books and the TIER ONE series with Thomas and Mercer, both multi-book deals. I am also waiting to hear on two other stand-alone novels that Gina has in submission.
Maybe my career would have launched without the friends I made at ITW and without Pitchfest, but I doubt it. ITW is more than an organization and Thrillerfest is more than an event—together they are a community of writers supporting each other, raising one another up, and helping one another succeed.

Finding Success at PitchFest Means Never Having to Query Again


HairMax's Lasercombs are clinically studied and FDA approved for both women and men. The company also asserts that over 90 percent of their customers encounter "noticeable benefits" with continued use.
This Pininfarina-designed device has 82 medical grade lasers that carry out maximum light to your follicles, together with a patented hair parting teeth system that helps you attain desired results. In fact, with LaserBand 82, HairMax claims your treatments can last as little as 90 seconds, three times per week.
The HairMax Laser Combs are made for people experiencing androgenetic alopecia. This is a fancy word for hereditary hair loss. Treatment is done by yourself. The laser comb is combed through the hair 3 times weekly for around 15 minutes. Another benefit: your biceps will grow bigger after 45 minutes of weekly combing. Brush the comb over the scalp area that's going through the miniaturization process. Ideally, this counters the miniaturization process. Instead of hair appearing thinner and ultimately falling out completely, they will begin to get thicker. This will give you additional scalp coverage and a healthy looking head of hair.
If you wish to talk about the technical language, this biological process is known as PhotoBioStimulation. This increases adenosine three phosphate (ATP) and keratin production. Enhancing cellular metabolism and activity, these two coenzymes are responsible for intracellular energy transfer as well as being known for stimulating living cells like the hair follicle cells.
The other mechanism that these low-level laser treatments are liable for is increased blood flow. Hair follicles require numerous nutrients to grow healthy and strong. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) gets in the way of this delivery system. The laser comb helps make sure nutrients are delivered more effectively to hair follicles and further removes said DHT from the scalp.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a regulatory body whose major task is to protect consumers from marketing stunts and dangerous products. They supervise matters like dietary supplements and food safety laws. They have a rigorous and comprehensive application and testing process that companies must submit to that in part, if they pass, can validate their products allegations.
As we said, the HairMax Laser Comb is the only hair loss treatment device approved by the FDA. It's one of the three hair loss treatment items given FDA approval as clinically proven hair loss treatment methods. The other two treatments given approval are a topical product called Minoxidil (Rogaine) and an orally administered product named Propecia.
We will talk about a little history on how HairMax's submission to the FDA was approved. Lexington International LLC conducted a study in America. This clinical study was done in 4 various areas. Ultimately, this study found that 93 percent of participants using the HairMax Laser Comb had a decrease in the number of terminal hairs. That means those participants who were aged 30 to 60 increased the number of thick hairs. This increase was an average of about 19 hairs/cm over a 6 month period. So for every square centimeter of scalp, there was an additional 19 hairs in participants that used the laser comb.
For Lasercombs, Hairmax provides a 3 Pay installment plan to help cover the costs. If you ordered a HairMax laser device using the 3 monthly payments option, you are on a multi-pay billing program. Multi-pay is only given to customers ordering directly from Lexington International who uses a credit card, and discount codes along with other promotional offers may not be applied to such orders. A 10% fee is added to the then shown purchase price while using the multi-pay alternative to buy a laser device.
Payments immediately post to the credit card used on the order about every 30 days, with the first payment posting on the date of the order. You don't have to get in touch with Lexington International or manually send payments. Funds have to be available on the card for each month.
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days of order placement and are delivered with UPS, FedEx or USPS. Overnight orders shipped to a PO Box may take up to 2 business days to be delivered. International orders ship via UPS Worldwide Expedited or FedEx International Economy service. For orders carrying HairMax devices, tracking numbers are given via email after shipment.
When placing an order for delivery outside the United States of America, please be aware that the international shipping charge that is shown in your Order Summary DOESN'T include Local Taxes, VAT and/or Duty that's assessed in the country the order will be sent to. Such Regional Taxes, VAT and/or Duty should be collected AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY.
HairMax wants the users to be totally content with the HairMax laser device, so they provides a money back guarantee for orders placed directly with Lexington International: HairMax laser devices can be returned within 5 months for a refund, less a 20% restocking fee on the whole purchase price. (Please note that, if you're purchasing a HairMax laser device with a payment plan, the 20% restocking fee will be determined on the full purchase price value of the laser device, and not on any individual payments that you may have made before returning the HairMax laser device with our money back guarantee.) This money back guarantee is effective from the date of delivery. You'll be asked to get a Return Merchandise Authorization and pay the return shipping costs and the applicable restocking fee (previously mentioned). Please note that only orders placed directly through Lexington International are qualified for the money back guarantee. Nonetheless, more than 90% of HairMax's customers do see recognizable benefits with continued HairMax use, so, you won't really be using this.
All HairMax laser devices purchased through Lexington International or by an authorized distributor includes a 2-year factory warranty against defects in workmanship or materials from Lexington International, LLC. Lexington may lengthen this warranty period under special conditions. For complete warranty information, please refer to the user guide (included in the packaging materials of your laser device).
To obtain warranty service, you must deliver the item freight paid, in either its original packaging or packaging giving an equal standard of protection, together with your name and address.
Cost effective: Cost effectiveness is one of the additional advantages with laser combs, compared surgical routes. With hair transplant surgery, you may need multiple sessions with the surgeon which may cost a whole lot of cash. On the contrary, a laser comb is a one-time investment which can be utilized only when it needs to be used.
Easy usage: The laser combs are as simple as combing your hair. You have to just simply turn the machine on and comb it right through your head.
Method: it's quite important to utilize laser combs as directed in order to get desired outcomes from it. If you are not using it properly, you may not see any results.

Every year on October 2, thousands march from la plaza de las tres culturas (square of three cultures) in Tlatelolco to the zócalo in the historic centre of Mexico City. The march commemorates the victims of a student massacre in 1968. The committee of 1968 led the march followed by parents of the missing, presumed dead, Ayotzinapa students. After arriving to the zócalo in the late afternoon, a rally began and while a minute of silence was being afforded in memory to the thousands of dead and missing in Mexico, a small group of self-described anarchists began to launch fireworks and rocks at police officers stationed next to the national palace on the south-eastern corner of the zócalo.
Police retaliated with tear gas which led to a rapid retreat of the anarchists and everyone else in the vicinity and put an early end to the rally. However, a game of cat and mouse continued to proceed in Mexico City's downtown as police advanced only for a small minority of protestors to return with reinforcements and continue to clash with police. The police eventually succeeded in driving the aggressors to eje central, the main avenue of the city's centre. Minor clashes continued behind the Palacio de Bellas Artes.
I later returned to the zócalo which presented a surreal, almost apocalyptical scene. A message emanating from the national palace was amplified on loop stating that the right to protest is respected but must be done in a pacific manner. Placards drifted across the concrete expanse in a slight breeze, a small fire burnt and the sun set on another dos de octubre, this one 47 years on.
Below is a short video that I shot and my photos.

Home/Oil/Saudi Arabia and Iraq Reiterate their Support for a Production Cut
Saudi Arabia and Iraq Reiterate their Support for a Production Cut
Following a bilateral meeting on Thursday, the energy ministers of Saudi Arabia and Iraq reiterated their support for the oil production cut agreed upon last month.
At the same meeting, they emphasized the importance of sticking to the agreement until the end of 2023, Saudi Arabia's Abdulaziz bin Salman said in a statement earlier today.
Bin Salman and his Iraqi colleague, Hayan Abdel-Ghani, also agreed that they would ensure OPEC has "the ability to take further measures, if required, to achieve balance and stability in the market."
Iraq has ambitious oil production growth plans, eyeing a production capacity of 7 million bpd by 2027, up from the current 5 million barrels daily. Yet it remains a loyal OPEC member: when the head of SOMO, Iraq's oil-exporting company, announced the capacity plans, he added that "The increase in these production rates will take place in coordination with OPEC and according to the decisions taken in line with oil market requirements."
OPEC+ agreed last month to reduce its combined production of crude oil by a nominal 2 million barrels daily, which would translate into an actual reduction of around 1 million barrels daily.
This stabilized oil prices for a while before Covid updates from China began taking their toll. Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that the cartel was considering an increase in oil production ahead of the EU oil embargo on Russian oil.
According to the WSJ report, which quoted unnamed OPEC delegates, the output hike "could help heal a rift between Saudi Arabia and the Biden administration and keep energy flowing amid new attempts to blunt Russia's oil industry over the Ukraine war.
The report prompted an immediate reaction from Saudi Arabia, which denied the information and suggested that it was, in fact, even open to further production cuts.
"It is well-known that OPEC+ does not discuss any decisions ahead of the meeting," Abdulaziz bin Salman told the Saudi state news agency.

Mystery Donor Could Save Rare White Lion
Mufasa, a 3-year-old rare white lion, is about to be auctioned off to the highest bidder, which most likely would be one of the country's popular canned hunting operations. His story went viral with over 300,000 people signing a petition and begging the government of South Africa to send him to a sanctuary.
There are less than 300 white lions remaining in the world. Mufasa is currently living at the Rustenburg Wildlife "Wild for Life" Rehabilitation Centre sanctuary in South Africa. He arrived at the sanctuary as a cub, after being confiscated from a private owner in Pretoria. A lion, Soraya, arrived around the same time and the two have become inseparable over the past three years.
Photos: Facebook/Mufasa the White Lion
SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary, a 7,000 acre sanctuary, offered to take both Mufasa and Soraya and cover their costs for the remainder of their lives. They would have lived in as natural a state as possible together, but the government turned them down.
"Dr. Tjitske Schouwstra, a veterinarian who cared for the rare white lion, and Carel Zietsman, the attorney for Wild for Life, are embroiled in a legal battle with the South African government," reports Care2.
"We believe Mufasa and Suraya (who is also facing the same fate) have the right to live the rest of their natural lives in a sanctuary where they will be as close to free as is humanly possible," Zietsman told Pretoria News.
People are not giving up on trying to save the rare lions. Mufasa's fate is still uncertain, but thanks to social media and a generous mystery donor he may have a chance at life. An anonymous sponsor stepped forward and offered to pay for the building of a new enclosure at a sanctuary. However, the government has to agree to end the auction and accept the offer.
"I cannot give you too much detail at this stage as the negotiations are in a sensitive stage, but we're hopeful that we'll be able to buy Mufasa and Soraya and relocate them somewhere safe," Zietsman told ABC News on Nov. 19.
The fight is not over. Hopefully, this generous offer will save the life of Mufasa and Soraya. You can stay updated on the lasted news with Mufasa by following his Facebook page.

Indonesia it also happen in Korea, which
Indonesia has a high diversity of waterfowl especially ducks. Indonesian ducks belong to the Indian Runner (fast runner ducks from India) which originally came from India (Batty 1985). Statistic data from FAO (www.fao.
org/faostat/en/#data/QL) mention that total ducks' population in Indonesia is 38 million in the year 2013 which distributes from Sumatra, Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara to Kalimantan (Tamzil & Indarsih 2017). Duck production economically important for agricultural income of many Asia countries. The continent alone accounts for 82.
6% of the total duck meat produced worldwide (FAO 2010). Duck meat is recognized as a healthy food in Asian countries. In particular, duck meat consumption in Korea has rapidly increased over the last decade. Duck meat contains lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which consumer preference for healthy meat is now three times greater than that during the last decade (MIFFAF Korea 2013). Southeast Asian countries have conserved various native species of duck, because of high duck meat consumption in majority population of Southeast Asia, it also happen in Korea, which is located in a migratory bird flyway (Kraus et al. 2011). The characterization and conservation of ducks assume prime importance as they provide food security to the rural folk.
These locally adapted ducks are essential natural reservoirs for facing the potential of infectious disease caused by resistance pathogenic virus or bacteria, and providing better quality meat for food security (Gaur et al. 2016). Ducks together with the ostrich, emu, peacock, turkey, quail, and other birds play a major role in studies on bird evolution.
Up to now, most available data concerning ducks have come from heritabilities and genetic correlations of some traits (Bochno et al. 2000) and epidemiology (Susanti et al. 2008; Li et al. 2003; Hatta et al. 2002). Most available molecular data have come from evolution studies based on the analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence (Susanti et al.
2017; Jin et al. 2014; Jin et al. 2012). Few studies about genetic markers in the duck are limited (Alyethodi & Kumar 2010; Kraus et al.
2011; Seo et al. 2015), and therefore we characterized ten microsatellite markers for Central Javanese duck. Genetic fingerprinting has been utilized in identification process of species, variation, individuals, breeds, and even cultivars cultivation technic, It also used to do genetic mapping in plant species and breeding, connection among animals, medical applications, and in a range of population genetic and ecological applications (Baratti et al. 2001; Bochno et al. 2000; Chowdhury et al.
2001). One of the important DNA fingerprinting methods is species-specific microsatellite analysis..
Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are short repetitive elements of 1-6 bases that originate in prokaryotic and all eukaryotic genomes (Schlotterer 2000). These repeat motifs present in both coding and noncoding regions of genomes (Ellegren 2004) are smaller than 100 bp (Stolle et al. 2013). The microsatellites are highly polymorphic, copious, reproducible, and, inherited co-dominantly, and distribute throughout the genome (Saavedra et al.
2013). The high rate of mutation of alleles and genomic DNA, makes microsatellites very effective molecular markers to do population genetics analysis, genome mapping, genetic fingerprinting, linkage analysis, taxonomic study and diversity (Olango et al. 2015). Microsatellite is chosen as a marker for diversity and relationship analysis among different species of poultry and livestock including buffalo, camel, and horse (Vijh et al. 2007; Vijh et al. 2008; Khashour et al. 2013).
Native breeds need to be protected for biodiversity conservation and development of economically important traits, which would also be valuable ecologically and to breed survival. Development of breed-discriminating genetic markers and conservation strategies are important for breed conservation and trait development. In addition, duck breed classification analysis can provide additional information for preventive veterinary inspections for avian influenza (AI) viruses (Groepper et al.
2014; Ramey et al. 2014). Identification and characterization of local duck are important since the data is used as sources of Indonesia germplasm and help the breeding program. In the absence of information about the genetic attributes of each breed available for a breeding program, development of local breeds is often ignored in favor of the introduction of germplasm from exotic breeds, about which environmental adaptation information is generally unavailable. These pose a great risk for the loss of valuable genes. To surmount the situation the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recommended establishing conservation programs for the maintenance of animal genetic resources.
These include among many other actions the identification and characterization of local breeds. The objective of this study was to the characterization of central Javanese duck breeds in Indonesia using 10 microsatellite markers

Water | Health Access Sumbawa Inc.
HAS installed the first running water and first toilet in Sili village, built a community toilet/bath house, and organized a fenced irrigated community garden on the clinic grounds to supplement villager's diet.
Generally there is no running water in these villages. Drinking and bathing water comes from a handful of hand dug wells in the village centers. These are well made, stone with cement grout, with a cement apron to keep out surface ground water. The wells are busy meeting places all day long, where women do their washing and haul buckets of water to their home kitchens. Village wells provide reliable year round water in some villages but water is scare in others. The people drink the well water without boiling or filtering so the water is subject to contamination by parasites.
The goal is to improve access to clean drinking water within the communities we serve. Tactics include sharing information about the basics of water borne diseases and provide tools & techniques to manage water quality. HAS supports new well construction in strategic locations, water pumping & storage facilities, and provides long lasting water filters to eliminate bacteria & viruses from drinking water (such as Sawyer 0.10 micron hollow-fiber membrane filters).
Water quality is degraded by the fact that there are few toilets in this region. Villagers relieve themselves in the bush near their homes. The few toilets that do exist are frequently built too close to the well. Poor sanitation in general is a health issue. Flies move from feces to food, spreading disease.
In 2017 HAS built the first public toilet / bathhouse on the clinic ground, and will fund two farm toilets this year. Going forward we will provide the site evaluation, design and some materials to community groups which supply the labor. Septic Site planning is increasingly an important role for HAS. There is a tendency to build privies too close to wells because village homes are very close to one another.
HAS sponsors community toilet/bathing houses to be built by local volunteer labor. HAS provides the design, the cement, the toilet, the bricks, and the corrugated roofing. The appropriate technology is straightforward. Asian squat toilets are simple, low cost, familiar, proven technology which use little water (they flush with a dipper or two of water). The traditional showering system in Indonesia, like most of Southeast Asia, is to dipper water over one's body from a pail, floor jar or tub. All that is required is a water tap in the bathroom wall.
Building the infrastructure is simple enough. The greater challenge is to change attitudes & behavior. The idea that using a toilet is a lifestyle improvement must be successfully sold to members of the community. We expect this process will follow the typical pattern of new product/new technology introductions everywhere, where early adopters buy-in to the new facilities first, and others in the community follow over time.

Q: Why my NSPopover doesn't become first responder? I'm programming in macOS project.
In my project, there is a tableview. When clicking on a tableview cell, a popover will show.
But I find that after showing the popover, the window's firstResponder is still my tableview. What's more, when I explicitly call :
 window?.makeFirstResponder(popover) //window is not nil.

The popover will became first responder after this line of code but almost immediately resign first responder. And the tableview becomes first responder again.

I just want to close popover when it resign first responder, but I don't know why it cannot become first responder when it shows.
--
EDIT
Code for creating popover:
//In tablecellview's subview
let popover = NSPopover()

required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
    super.init(coder: coder)
    ...

    let controller = NSStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateController(withIdentifier: "popover") as! ColorSelectionPopoverVC
    controller.selectionDelegate = self
    popover.contentViewController = controller
}

override func mouseDown(with event: NSEvent) {
    if !disablePopover && !popover.isShown {
        popover.show(relativeTo: self.bounds, of: self, preferredEdge: .maxX)
    }
// The following line can let popover'contentVC become first responder for a while.
//        window?.makeFirstResponder(popover.contentViewController)

    super.mouseDown(with: event)

The future of British sailing will be on show next week at Largs Sailing Club for the 2005 RYA Youth Championships and Trials. Many of Great Britain's top Olympic sailors first made a name for themselves at this event, including gold medallists Iain PERCY, Ben AINSLIE and Sarah AYTON.
Around 300 sailors will take part in the event competing in seven different classes, including the Laser, 29er, 420, Hobie 16, Mistral, MJOD 6.6 and, with the highest number of entrants, the Laser Radial with 104 boats taking part.
HRH The Princess Royal, President of the RYA, is to attend the event on 6 April and will meet some of the young competitors taking part, before taking to the water to see them in action.
The 2005 RYA Youth Championships and Trials is one of the largest events in the RYA youth racing calendar. As well as identifying national youth champions, the event will also be used to select the GB ISAF Youth Sailing World Championships team, as well as to review the RYA National Youth Squad. The event will also be used to allocate grants for the summer international regattas.
The event will be particularly hard fought in the Laser, Laser Radial, 420, Mistral and Hobie 16 classes as these are the classes that will go on to compete at the Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championships which take place in Busan, Korea, from 14-23 July.
The Youth Worlds, which is often dubbed the Youth Olympics, is a stepping stone onto the Olympic and professional sailing circuit, and a long list of world class sailors have all medalled at this event. Many of Britain's successful Athens 2004 Olympic Team are past youth world's medallists including Yngling gold medallist Sarah AYTON, double Olympic gold medallist Ben AINSLIE, Olympic 49er bronze medallist Chris DRAPER, 470 silver medallist Nick ROGERS and Mistral bronze medallist Nick DEMPSEY.
A top panel of selectors appointed by the RYA, comprising of Chairman Stuart CHILDERLEY, who won gold at the 1984 Youth Worlds in the Laser, David CAMPBELL-JAMES and Zeb ELLIOT, will be observing the racing over the course of the week, in order to select the best team to represent Great Britain at the 2005 Youth Worlds as well as to review the RYA National Youth Squad. They will also receive input from the coaches and class training officers.
The aim behind the event is to have fun and to make it educational. Therefore there is an extensive social programme for the week, which includes a quiz night, an inspirational talk from Olympic medallist Chris DRAPER and on the final evening, a prize giving, party and ceilidh. As an educational event there will be coach debriefs each evening from top coaches Adam BOWERS, Harvey HILLARY, Matt HOWARD and Helen CARTWRIGHT, as well as open protests and a roving protest and redress advisor.
Racing commences today and continues through until Friday 8 April. Largs Sailing Club is situated at Largs Yacht Haven, just two miles south of the resort of Largs on the Firth of Clyde.

Yang Mushi
EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS
About Yang Mushi - Vanishing into Thin Air
Galerie Urs Meile Beijing is pleased to announce Vanishing into Thin Air a solo exhibition of the young emerging Chinese artist Yang Mushi (*1989). In his third solo presentation after Illegitimate Production and Compulsory Execution, during which the artist used various methods to grind found tools into an array of geometric shapes and textures, the artist furthers his meditations on such topics as urban development, evolution, and labor relations.
Illuminating (2018, white neon tube, iron sheet, stone-like coating, sizes varying from 87.5 x 161.9 x 18cm to 163.6 x 114.5 x 18cm), a series of neon light works, constitutes the main body of this exhibition. The neon light, a popular material once commonly used to convey advertisements and disseminate ideologies but now widely replaced by LED out of energy efficiency considerations, is generally fabricated through heating and twisting. Through the incandescent lighting and varying angles, the artist has turned the image to point at the individual in society being twisted by social rules or restrictions. As this defunct mode of production confronts the present and creates a new sense of loss on a large scale, a new "distortion" comes to fruition. Through a continual twisting motion, the artist screws together an unreasonable production, a backward production method, and the manufacturing work of consumption. The twisted light tubes emit a dazzling light into the space that is at once frivolous and pale.
The show also includes Yang Mushi's Dark series (2016–2018, wood, lacquer, sizes varying from 164 x 41 x 19 cm to 244 x 121 x 9 cm) with their distinctive shape of strict aesthetics and a martial kind of beauty. These works in black are entitled with active verbs such as Grinding, Subtracting, Cutting, Peeling, Eroding, which seem to suggest that the actions are what cast the aura onto the objects in the process of working with sharp wooden pieces. The original form and function of the wooden materials are eliminated and thus new meanings emerged from the ordered formation and sharpened edges of the objects.
Looking at Yang Mushi's "dark production," we can imagine the thermal energy, carrying the sweat from laboring over the division of materials, dispersing into the air that eventually vanishes into the social realities Yang has conjured. This "vanishing" act further enhances the artist's appropriation of neon lights for the Illuminating series. Light is visible, yet intangible. It emits thermal energy while
conveying a burning pain. However, this time, surrounded by the subject of labor visualized through the wooden tools—we find the diligent artist becomes integrated with the sharp forms he produced as he continues to labor over an art practice he is passionate about. Perhaps, this is an analogy for Yang Mushi's realization of sharpening tools since 2013—an intimate relationship between the self and the subject of his practice.

New body variant added to the SUV range
The Cayenne Coupé
Porsche is extending its Cayenne family. An even sportier vehicle has been added to the third generation of this highly successful SUV range – the Cayenne Coupé. "The Coupé includes all the technical highlights of the current Cayenne, but has an even more dynamic design and new technical details that position it as more progressive, athletic, and emotional," says Oliver Blume, chairman of the executive board of Porsche AG.
The highlights of the new Cayenne model include sharper lines with a totally unique rear section, an adaptive rear spoiler, a rear bench with the characteristics of two individual seats, and two different roof concepts – a panoramic fixed glass roof fitted as standard, and an optional carbon roof.
Unrivalled Elegance
Proportions that are more dynamic combine with custom design elements to lend the new Cayenne Coupé an unrivalled elegance.
"The significantly more steep roof line that falls away to the rear makes the Cayenne Coupé appear even more dynamic, and positions it as the sportiest-looking model in the segment," says Michael Mauer, vice president Style Porsche. That effect is supported by a roof spoiler, which accentuates the distinctive Coupé silhouette.
The front windscreen and A-pillar are shallower than in the Cayenne, courtesy of a roof edge that has been lowered by around 20 millimetres. Redesigned rear doors and fenders broaden the shoulders of this vehicle by 18 millimetres, contributing to its overall muscular impression.
The rear number plate is integrated into the bumper, making the vehicle seem closer to the ground.
With its adaptive roof spoiler, the current Cayenne Turbo was the first SUV to feature this type of active aerodynamics.
The new Cayenne Coupé picks up that ball and runs with it. On each Cayenne Coupé model, a roof spoiler is combined with a new adaptive rear spoiler as part of Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA).
The spoiler – harmonically integrated into this model's silhouette – extends by 135 mm at speeds of 90 km/h and up, increasing the contact pressure on the rear axle, while PAA simultaneously enhances efficiency.
Panoramic Glass Roof
The new Cayenne Coupé comes with a 2.16 m2 panoramic fixed glass roof as standard. The 0.92 m2 glazed area gives all passengers an extraordinary sense of space, while the integrated roller blind protects against sun exposure and cold. A contoured carbon roof is optionally available for the Coupé on request.
The centre seam gives the roof the characteristic look of a sports car, similar to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The carbon roof is available in one of the three lightweight sports packages.
These packages also include the Sport Design features and new, weight-reduced 22-inch GT Design wheels, seat centres in classic checked fabric, and carbon and Alcantara accents in the interior. For the Cayenne Turbo Coupé, the package also includes a sports exhaust system.
Comfort On The Road
The new Cayenne Coupé offers plenty of space for up to four people as standard. At the front, the new eight-way sports seats with integrated head rests offer exceptional comfort and optimum lateral support.
In the rear, the Coupé comes fitted as standard with a rear bench that has the characteristics of two individual seats. Alternatively, the comfort rear seats – a familiar feature of the Cayenne – can be ordered at no additional cost. Rear passengers sit 30 millimetres lower than in the Cayenne, meaning there is plenty of headroom despite the vehicle's sporty lowered silhouette.
The boot capacity is 625 litres – ideal for everyday use – and rises to 1,540 litres when the rear seats are folded down (Cayenne Turbo Coupé: 600 to 1,510 litres).
Turbocharged Engines
The highly dynamic lines and custom design elements of the new Cayenne Coupé truly set it apart from the Cayenne.
At the same time, it benefits from all the technical highlights of the third model generation, which features powerful drive systems, innovative chassis systems, a digitalised display and operating concept, and comprehensive connectivity.
Two high-performance engines are available: The Cayenne Coupé with six-cylinder turbocharged engine and displacement of three litres delivers 250 kW (340 PS) and maximum torque of 450 Nm. The Sport Chrono Package fitted in series-production vehicles achieves the standard sprint from 0-100 km/h in 6.0 seconds, with this figure dropping to 5.9 seconds with the optional lightweight sports packages.
The vehicle's top speed is 243 km/h. The top-of-the-range Cayenne Turbo Coupé goes to the starting line with a four-litre V8 engine with twin-turbo charging, 404 kW (550 PS), and maximum torque of 770 Nm.
The Cayenne Turbo Coupé accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, and has a top speed of 286 km/h.

Join Brian Trifon for an in-depth discussion in this video Getting Started with EVD6, part of Logic Pro: Virtual Instruments.
In this chapter we're going to explore the EVD6. The EVD6 emulates the classic Hohner D6 clavinet. The clavinet was popularized in the 1970s by artists like Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, and the Commodores. EVD6 uses physical modeling synthesis to simulate the basic sounds of a D6, as well as a variety of other string instruments like harpsichords and guitars. If we take a look at the interface, down in the bottom section we have the global parameters. Here we can choose our D6 model that will be the foundation of our sound.
On the left side of the global parameters, we have the Voice and Tuning settings. If you look over here, we have our Filter settings, and to the right of that, in the center, we have the Pickup and Stereo Spread adjustments. Next, we've got our model, and so here's where we're going to select our D6 model, and next to that we have the Level controls. This is going to be our output level. And then on the far right of the global parameters, we have our Damper settings. If we take a look up at the top we have our Excite, Click, and String parameters. So, here's where we'll customize the articulation and characteristics of the strings.
In the center, we can adjust the pickup position for the upper and lower pickups, and then over to the right we have our FX section. So, here we can add in distortion, compression, three types of modulation effects, and the Wah effect. We can also set the order of our FX chain right here. So, now that we've taken a brief tour of the interface, let's hear what EVD6 sounds like in a musical example. So, in this musical example, I have several instances of EVD6, and listen for the wide range of different kinds of string tones that we can get from the instrument.
