#1 PROPHECY BOOK IN THE WORLD!
The Babylon Code: Solving the Bible's Greatest End Times Mystery
by Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson
A mystery-solving journey into the connection between the world's most infamous secret society, the Bible's greatest prophetic riddle, and the surprising hope we can have in the end times.
Nations are drowning in unparalleled levels of debt. Fears of a cataclysmic economic collapse are growing. And global leaders such as Pope Francis are warning of World War III.
Meanwhile, many sense "something is coming" as the last of the four blood moons, the biblical Shemitah, "Newton's Riddle" and other potentially prophetic events converge this fall and throughout 2016.
These and other troubling events in today's world reveal time is running out on God's prophetic clock. Are we now witnessing the creation of a global stage that the Bible predicts will be overtaken by the Antichrist in the end times?
Unlocking a great biblical mystery that has puzzled scholars for nearly 2,000 years, and what famed evangelist Billy Graham calls a convergence in end-times signs for the first time in history, THE BABYLON CODE foretells an international takeover by the world's elite— a global political and financial coup that will set the stage for the last days.
The prophecy's origins begin in Genesis at the Tower of Babel and culminate in Revelation with the Battle of Armageddon. It revolves around "Mystery, Babylon" – the Bible's greatest prophetic riddle – and reveals how secret forces are at work to create a global government, economic system and religion. Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist Troy Anderson and prophecy expert Paul McGuire have pieced together the apocalyptic puzzle with award-winning journalism and credible end-times expertise.
The investigative book exposes how a secret cabal of elite power brokers is creating a global government and cashless society.
Geopolitical and prophecy experts are sounding the alarm that secret trade pacts, laws undermining American sovereignty and the United Nations' summits on "sustainable development" and climate change in September and December are just a ruse to create what is in effect a global state. Stunningly, a new report by the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University warns a "global totalitarian state" is one of the top 12 risks threatening the future of human civilization.
THE BABYLON CODE is based on decades of research, more than 100 interviews (Billy Graham, Noam Chomsky, Dr. Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, Joel Rosenberg, Pastor Greg Laurie and many others) and the review of hundreds of books and tens of thousands of pages of government and academic documents and news articles. The book points to a daunting series of apocalyptic events in recent years that have prompted many to ask whether the biblical end-times have finally arrived:
• Plummeting Morality
• Spiritual Apostasy
• Exploding National Debts
• Severe Economic Turmoil
• Political Uncertainty
• Rise of the Surveillance State
• A Spate of Historic Natural Disasters
• Worsening Worldwide Drought
• Record-Breaking Extreme Weather
• A Growing Risk of a Nuclear Conflagration
THE BABYLON CODE has been endorsed by many of the most notable faith leaders and secular experts of our time, including Dr. Tim LaHaye, Sid Roth, Pat Boone, Pastor Jack Hayford, Dr. Robert Jeffress, Dr. Thomas R. Horn, Rabbi Jonathan Bernis, Dr. Hugh Ross, Pastor Michael Youssef, Jan Markell, Michael Snyder and others.
In an out-of-control, upside-down world, THE BABYLON CODE uncovers not only what may be the biggest story and political scandal in modern history, but also the secret to both our survival and our salvation.

Advance Praise for The Babylon Code
"Having read more than fifty books that expose the satanically inspired 'hidden hand' of the Illuminati type secularists this book in my judgment is by far the best. The book reveals the truth about the ancient teachings, religious legends, pagan doctrines, and false religious myths that have plagued Christianity and the western world for centuries. THE BABYLON CODE is true to the prophetic scriptures, especially those that have to do with the end times; carefully researched and well written, it is an enjoyable read.
I recommend it to anyone concerned about today's worldwide chaos and the soon to come end of days that the Bible teaches us about."
—Dr. Tim LaHaye, Minister, Co-Author of the Left Behind Series, and Christian Educator
"Prophetic events are rapidly converging as we approach the wrap up of history. At the same time, God has revealed pieces of the end-time puzzle to many different people. The Babylon Code by Troy Anderson and Paul McGuire features amazing research from many experts that allows us to put the puzzle together. What the world sees as a mystery should not be hidden from God's people!"
—Sid Roth, Host, It's Supernatural! TV
"Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson have written a powerful and compelling book, The Babylon Code, which unravels the mystery code of ancient Babylon in the light of the prophetic scriptures. The authors reveal from the accounts of Babylon in Genesis and also in the Book of Revelation prophetic signs which shed light on current events today and point to the nearness of the Lord's return to earth."
—Dr. Robert Jeffress, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church in Dallas, Author of Countdown to the Apocalypse
"I am so glad that Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson decided to do this book. Without a doubt, there are powerful forces and secret societies that are working tirelessly to influence the direction of our society from behind the scenes. I believe that you will be shocked by what you learn in this book."
—Michael Snyder, Publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog
"As Shakespeare's Hamlet once famously said to Horatio, 'There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' This is so true.
But now, as the world hurtles toward cataclysmic end-times events, prescient clarity of cascading global affairs are desperately needed for all who will listen. Enter journalist Troy Anderson and prophecy expert Paul McGuire who carefully uncover a prophetic mystery that began at the Tower of Babel and will culminate with the Battle of Armageddon."
—Dr. Thomas R. Horn, Bestselling Author
"As I look at Israel and other world events taking place around us, it is clear we are in the Last Days. Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson have given us an excellent resource to understand the times in which we live. I highly recommend you read this book."
—Jonathan Bernis, President and CEO, Jewish Voice Ministries, International
"Authors Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson have done a masterful job in compiling and then synthesizing the work of more than 100 Bible prophecy scholars. Their assessment points to the conclusion that we are, indeed, approaching the time of Christ's return. I especially appreciate their urgent call to all Christians to make good use of whatever time remains to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ, our Creator and Savior, our Living Hope, to people in every walk of life and every ethnic group around the world."
—Hugh Ross, Founder and President of Reasons to Believe
"As you read this investigative book you will be excused in thinking that you are reading the headlines of today's newspapers. Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson's summary of how the world began with a vision of globalization and will end with the same vision will encourage those who are anticipating the return of Christ. By the same token it is an invitation for those who are living only for this life to come and place their whole faith in Christ alone."
—Michael Youssef, Author of Jesus, Jihad and Peace
"As we move more and more into globalism, this book is a great outline and a road map as to how that happened. It began with Nimrod and will end with Antichrist. Through it all, we're to occupy until Jesus comes and that message comes through clearly in this book."
—Jan Markell, Founder, Olive Tree Ministries
"If you are wondering what on earth is going on in our world today you must read this book. The research analyzed within is unparalleled and will give you the facts and insight you need to grasp a deeper understanding about the unbelievable changes taking place in the world today. The Babylon Code will provide you with the information and clarity essential to be a Christian of vision equipped to think and live in accordance with a biblical worldview against the backdrop of Agenda 21, Common Core, the Federal Reserve, corrupt government, and the influence of thousands of occult organizations all seeking to destroy the sovereignty of the United States in an attempt to set up a one-world government police state while eliminating the freedoms our founding fathers gave us which made this country the most prosperous and blessed habitation on earth. This book will draw you to your own search of the scriptures and will develop the assurance in your heart that the Bible is the infallible inspired, inerrant Word of The Living God."
—Doc Beshore, President of the World Bible Society and Host of the Bible Institute of the Air radio program
The Babylon Code Q & A with Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson
Q: What is The Babylon Code about?
McGuire: The Babylon Code is about an explosive prophetic mystery that contains stunning predictions regarding the future of America and the world. The investigative book — the culmination of decades of research into the link between current events, secret societies and end-times biblical predictions — reveals the enigmatic secrets embedded in what the Book of Revelation describes as "Mystery, Babylon." This cryptic phrase is one of the primary keys to understanding the breathtaking convergence and acceleration in end-times signs and strange events we now see unfolding throughout the world. Fascination with prophecy is growing exponentially as people everywhere are waiting to see what the last of the four blood moons, the biblical Shemitah, Sir Isaac Newton's end-times prediction known as "Newton's Riddle" and other potentially prophetic signs bring this fall and throughout 2016. The Babylon Code not only pieces together this apocalyptic puzzle and explains what is really going on behind the scenes, but it also offers a surprising message of hope. We believe we've been called as "watchmen on the wall" to sound the alarm and wake people up so they can prepare themselves and their families for what the Bible calls the "end of the age."
Anderson: The Babylon Code uncovers what we believe could be the biggest story and political scandal in modern times. Featuring exclusive interviews with more than 100 faith leaders and prophecy experts such as Billy Graham, Dr. Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and Joel Rosenberg, the investigative book offers concrete and convincing evidence that an elite group of wealthy globalists are involved in an international takeover – a political and financial coup that will ultimately culminate in a global government and cashless society. An ancient prophetic mystery foretold this would happen in the end times. This biblical cryptogram involves Babylon – the second most mentioned city in the Bible besides Jerusalem. The prophecy begins in Genesis at the Tower of Babel and ends in Revelation with the Battle of Armageddon. It revolves around "Mystery, Babylon" – the Bible's greatest end-times riddle – and reveals how the elite and their interlocking network of transnational corporations, international banks, supranational bodies, think tanks, secret societies and clandestine organizations are working to create a global government and economic system without the knowledge or consent of most of the world.
Q: How did you solve the mystery?
McGuire: In decoding "Mystery, Babylon," we conducted a massive amount of research and interviews. Also, we didn't just look at the Bible as a spiritual or religious book. We delved into it as a multi-dimensional code that has its origins beyond the dimensions of time and space. We researched quantum physics, string theory, the DNA code, Transhumanism, the Singularity and other cutting-edge sciences. For example, the Tower of Babel is not simply an ancient architectural wonder. The tower, which evidence suggests was actually built 40,000 to 11,000 years ago, was a center of occult worship that Nimrod – an archetype of the Antichrist – used to unite the known world in rebellion against God. It was the first attempt at creating a world
Anderson: In investigating what we've dubbed The Babylon Code, I used the same skill set I developed as an award-winning journalist at a variety of newspapers and magazines. A decade ago, I was featured as an investigative reporter in the McGraw-Hill Companies book Careers for Puzzle Solvers & Other Methodical Thinker. At the time, I was a political and investigative reporter at the Los Angeles Daily News. Shortly afterwards, I was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for writing a series of articles exposing corruption in the foster care system. I used the same skill set to unravel the prophetic cryptogram of "Mystery, Babylon." I interviewed more than 100 faith leaders and experts in geopolitics, economics, science and theology, including famed evangelist Billy Graham who said signs of the end of the age are "converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions." The five-year investigation also involved the review of tens of thousands of pages of government documents, academic and think tank reports, news articles, and hundreds of books.
Q. What did you uncover?
McGuire: First, beginning in ancient Babylon, God warned the world not to create a world government centered on the worship and deification of mankind. The Tower of Babel story is a warning from God time-coded to be understood today. The prophet Daniel wrote that prophecy would be "sealed until the time of the end" when only those "who are wise will understand." Now, thousands of years later, the very thing God warned us about— a global government, economic system and religion — is emerging right in front of our eyes. The overwhelming consensus among the more than 100 faith, prophecy and other experts interviewed for The Babylon Code is that the world is either in the run-up to the end-times political and economic system predicted by the prophets, or the end of human civilization is rapidly approaching as a result of climate change, the growing potential of nuclear war and a host of other ominous threats.
Anderson: Our investigation uncovered stunning evidence that not only has the countdown to Armageddon begun, but a secretive elite are involved in an international political and economic takeover – what one former United States official calls a "global financial coup d'état." As we investigated this prophetic mystery sweeping across time, we unearthed evidence that connects a secretive, international power structure with ties to ancient Babylon—the occult-enmeshed civilization where the "magic of money manipulation" and early banking originated —to what today's globalists call the New World Order.
Q. Who exactly is behind the creation of this global government?
McGuire: We go into great detail in the book about the names of the groups and covert organizations promoting this agenda. But the important thing to understand is that the globalists behind what they call the "New International Order" or the "Global Union" have essentially the same belief systems as those in ancient Babylon. For most of human history, people have lived under pharaohs, Caesars, emperors, kings, feudal lords, dictators and tyrants of various sorts. The conflict between tyranny and liberty dates to the beginning of human history. Today, the powerful forces that sought to create an imperial empire in ancient Babylon are attempting to do the same thing again under the guise of "global governance" through trade treaties, international laws and supranational government bodies and institutions.
Anderson: For those who get most of their information from the mainstream media— now controlled by six corporations who in turn are controlled by the power elite in secretive organizations like the Bilderberg Group— it may seem incredulous that powerful forces are working to create a global government and cashless society. In recent months, though, even the mainstream media has been filled with news about this emerging world system. For example, global leaders are now calling for a "world political authority" to address climate change. The Guardian newspaper described it as "a kind of super-U.N. to deal with the world's economic problems and injustices." Recently, U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., criticized President Obama for pushing global trade pacts "encompassing up to 90 percent of world GDP" that would create a "secret Pacific Union"— compromising America's sovereignty and transferring power to "an elite set who dream of writing rules in foreign capitals." In September and December, world leaders are expected to attend United Nations' summits on sustainable development and climate change that critics describe as a "blueprint for governing the entire planet."
Q. How will this impact people?
McGuire: People are being trained to believe that the answer to all of mankind's problems is to have a "one world" globalist society with a world government, economy and religion. As an example, the New York skyscraper that replaced the Twin Towers destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is now called the One World Trade Center. It's simply a reimagining of the Tower of Babel. As we learned in the account of ancient Babylon in Genesis and its re-emergence in Revelation as "Mystery, Babylon," the prophets warned against a "one world" society. The Bible cautions that it would be a satanic Babylonian system posing an existential danger to every man, woman and child alive on Earth. In The Babylon Code, we reveal exactly what will happen when this global system is finally put into place.
Anderson: On the surface, the creation of a global government would seem like a good thing. After all, as the argument goes, if we're ever going to achieve world peace, we'll have to do away with the major source of wars and the threat of nuclear Armageddon — the nation-state. This is the ancient utopian dream— embodied in my ancestor German poet and playwright Friedrich von Schiller's famed poem Ode to Joy about the "brotherhood of man." Ludwig van Beethoven set it to music in the Ninth Symphony. The European Union, a model for the coming "Global Union" that would join together 10 regional unions throughout the world, adopted Ode to Joy as its national anthem decades ago. The late Beatle John Lennon sang of Schiller's "brotherhood of man" in his signature song, "Imagine"— the unofficial anthem for many of a utopian world of peace and harmony. Yet the Apostle John warns in the Book of Revelation that a diabolical figure, a master of deception and subterfuge, will exploit the world's hopes for "peace and security" in the end times and create a world dictatorship.
Q. What about those people who might be tempted to say that all this is just a "conspiracy theory," or that it is not important to them personally?
McGuire: First of all, if we believe the Bible was supernaturally authored by God, then we need to acknowledge that anything contained in the Bible – including prophecy, the accounts of ancient Babylon and the reemergence of the Babylonian political and economic system in the last days – must have enormous significance to us personally and as a society. God deliberately gave us a warning about globalism in the Genesis account of the Tower of Babel. As a result of the Internet and social media, the world has undergone a paradigm shift in thinking in recent years. Up until relatively recently if you discussed things like the New World Order, Shadow Government, Illuminati, Bilderberg Group, Yale's Skull & Bones or the "1 percent," many would scoff – believing these are just "conspiracy theories." This is no longer the case. As we point out in our book, polls show 28 percent of Americans voters – and 40 percent of Republican voters – believe a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda are working to create an authoritarian world government. Even more surprising, a survey by the University of Chicago found 51 percent of Americans believe that "much of what happens in the world today is decided by a small and secretive group of individuals"—a so-called "secret cabal." A growing number of respected political analysts, economists, historians, theologians and intellectuals from both the left and the right are taking these subjects very seriously. These topics are no longer relegated as "conspiracy theories" except by a minority of people who are out of touch with powerful developments in the last two decades or so.
Anderson: We emphasize with anyone who is skeptical about conspiracy theories and secret societies, as that was the case by both of us initially. But when we began to dig deeper and separate the disinformation from the truth, we found substantive proof regarding certain claims. In addition, we discovered that the goal of many of these organizations is ultimately to create a global government and economic system. Surprisingly, these goals are openly stated in dozens of reports on the websites of some of these organizations or were confirmed in interviews. Also, we discovered there is an astonishing array of legitimate historical sources, including statements by the Founding Fathers and many others, about the existence of secret societies and their ultimate plans. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy and many other prominent figures warned of the dangers of the wealthy elite, their secret societies and interconnected political and financial networks. They spoke of the "money power," the "invisible government," "a small group of dominant men" with inordinate power and influence, and what journalist Bill Moyers called the "Secret Government."
Q. What makes The Babylon Code different from other prophecy books that have attempted to tackle this subject and why is it important that people read this book?
McGuire: The Babylon Code is the first major book on prophecy that seriously connects all the dots, not only in terms of Bible prophecy, but also in terms of politics, economics, science, technology and culture. It's the first book by a mainstream investigative journalist and a prophecy expert to explore the link between current events, secret societies and end-times biblical predictions. The book explains Bible prophecy and current events in a very clear and intriguing way to help people make sense out of all the strange things going on in our world today. It also provides practical information readers can use to prepare themselves and their loved ones for major changes that are soon coming.
Anderson: We live in a world that is going out of control. Every day we see media reports about riots, ISIS terrorist attacks and the growing possibility of a global economic meltdown and even all-out war. Now, the most powerful men in the world are suggesting we need some kind of "New International Order" or "Global Union" to manage the chaos. But is this chaos accidental or has it been planned by an international power structure with ties to ancient Babylon? Today everything is coming full circle. But instead of Nimrod, the Antichrist will control the world. No one knows how much longer until this happens, but the faith leaders and prophecy experts we interviewed believe time is quickly running out. If this is truly the "end of the age" as Billy Graham said in an interview, we should be doing all we can to prepare our families for the end times and spread the message so others can get ready too.
Q. In The Babylon Code you document the fact that it is not just faith leaders and Bible prophecy teachers, but professors from some of the most prominent universities in the world such as Oxford, Cambridge, MIT and the University of California, Berkeley who are warning that the "global governance" movement could result in a "world dictatorship" or a "global totalitarian state." Would you elaborate?
McGuire: The United Nations is holding summits on sustainable development and climate change in September and December that some believe could lead to initial steps toward what is known in academic circles as the "Global Union" or the "New International Order." A number of world leaders are attending these events. While the voluminous reports released by the U.N. refer to the need to address climate change to help the poor, many are concerned about "global governance" reforms buried deep inside these documents. The U.N. authors wrote that the next 10-15 years will be "some of the most transformative in human history." What we have uncovered in The Babylon Code is a prophetic template that began in ancient Babylon and will culminate in the end times with the emergence of a geopolitical, commercial and religious system known as "Mystery, Babylon" and "Babylon the Great" in the Book of Revelation. It's hard to watch current events and not come to the conclusion that we are now witnessing the creation of this end-times system predicted by the Apostle John and other biblical writers.
Anderson: This was one of the most stunning admissions I encountered as I did research for The Babylon Code. The report by the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University listed 12 major risks threatening the future of humanity. In addition to "extreme climate change," "nuclear war," "global pandemic," "major asteroid impact" and "super-volcano" was "future bad global governance." As I continued reading, the authors wrote they were concerned whether poor global governance would "result in a collapse of the world system" and "whether a world dictatorship may end up being constructed." With world leaders around the globe increasingly calling for the New World Order, the report lends further credibility to the extensive evidence outlined in The Babylon Code revealing the world is now in the run-up to the end-times political and economic system predicted in Scripture.
Q. Can you tell us about the documentation you used and the journalistic standards you maintained in writing The Babylon Code?
McGuire: We deliberately did not engage in conjecture or highly speculative prophetic theories and employed the highest journalistic standards of research. We simply examined the Old Testament prophecies in light of history, consulting such works as those of Greek philosopher Plato, and discovered a coding system in the Bible consisting of phrases, symbols, numbers, and images. Through our intensive research, a clear set of patterns began to emerge as we delved into "Mystery Babylon" – discovering that God intended for this mystery to be solved in the end times so people could understand current events like globalism and the coming cashless society. By weeding out clichés, half-truths and myths, we uncovered what we've coined The Babylon Code so people can understand where the world is prophetically and what the near future holds.
Anderson: In writing The Babylon Code, I employed the same journalistic standards I've used for more than two decades working as a professional journalist at the Los Angeles Daily News, The Press-Enterprise and other newspapers, and as a frequent contributor to Reuters, Newsmax, National Wildlife, Christianity Today, Charisma, Watchdog.org, Human Events and other media outlets. During my career, I've won more than two dozen local, state and national writing awards, 2011 and 2012 Eddie Awards ("the most prestigious competition in magazine media"), was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and was featured as an investigative reporter in The McGraw-Hill Companies book, Careers for Puzzle-Solvers & Other Methodical Thinkers. I'm a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the nation's premier association of writers of nonfiction who have met ASJA's exacting standards of professional achievement. You can learn more about my journalistic credentials at www.troyanderson.us.
Q. In The Babylon Code you uncover some intense themes, yet the message of the book contains tremendous hope for the future. What did you discover in your research that enabled you to give real hope to your readers?
McGuire: The Babylon Code is not a doom and gloom book. Nor is it an escapist book. Christianity is not fatalism and God offers hope for the future. We aren't suggesting that it's possible for anyone to undo God's prophetic end times plan as revealed in the Bible. But there is still hope for America and the world if God's people will seek him with all their hearts in prayer. The Bible teaches that God always answers the prayers of his people if their hearts are right. We don't believe God is finished with America and that God very much wants to supernaturally intervene in the affairs of our nation. But in order for God to intervene, God's people must repent, seek his face and ask for a biblical revival. Even at this late date, we believe that God is willing to send revival to America.
Anderson: During the summer of 2012, world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham wrote an open letter to "America and its deceived people," comparing the nation to ancient Nineveh – the lone superpower of its time. When the prophet Jonah finally traveled to Nineveh and proclaimed God's warning, the people repented and escaped judgment. Graham believes the same thing can happen in America. The letter was followed by Graham's My Hope America broadcast during the week of Nov. 7, 2013 – his 95th birthday. Described as the largest event in the six-decade history of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Graham called on people worldwide to turn back to God. "It is the hope of the Second Coming of Christ that thrills me every day of my life," Graham said in an interview. "I know that He's coming again, and I know that He's going to set up a kingdom of which there will be no end. In Titus 2, it says, 'Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ.' "
We are very thankful that "The Babylon Code" is now
the # 1 Best Selling Prophecy Book in the World!
"My co-author and I are thankful to God for this because it opens many doors that otherwise may not be open for us to present the truth of the Gospel through Bible prophecy. It also gives us and the people who buy it an opportunity to win souls for Jesus Christ, which is the primary reason Troy and I wrote the book. Please pray that God will continue to use us to produce a film along with The Babylon Code book to reach the lost and influence this nation at this most critical time!" – Paul McGuire
We're getting some amazing reviews of The Babylon Code (4.80 ratings on Goodreads and Audible) and we wanted to bring these comments on Facebook to your attention:
"Have you ever read a book, and even before you were finished, wanted to share some fantastic insight, information, or secret knowledge from the book with your friends, relatives and co-workers? This is one of those books. Goose-bump inducing, head-turning information, wacking of forehead inducing. Calmly and scientifically, using the Bible, breaking the code, to explain what has been puzzling us for eons. If you read one book the rest of your life, this is the one."
– Carlos M Fernandez Jr. , a reader of The Babylon Code, in his review of the book on Breitbart's Army group on Facebook.
Thanks for everyone's great work on this project! – Paul and Troy
"Reading your book (THE BABYLON CODE) has helped me a lot in my journey (from atheism to faith in God). The more I read the Gospels, the more I think the modern dispensationalists are the only ones to understand what Jesus was really saying - namely, that the end times are near, and the only important thing to do in life is to prepare for it. Of course, preparing for it means feeding the hungry, giving to the poor, loving thy neighbor, etc. But that only makes sense in the light of the imminent coming of the kingdom of heaven."
"How did I get interested in this topic? That's a long story. I've been interested in the apocalypse for a long time. I even started a kind of survivalist community in Scotland once, and wrote a book about it. But what sparked my interest most recently was my study of Christianity in the USA. I realized I actually knew very little about this, and started reading up on the origins of fundamentalism, evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, etc. While reading about fundamentalism, I came across dispensationalism, which I had heard of before, but didn't really understand. I also started reading Christian novels like This Present Darkness. Anyway, I can't remember how I came across The Babylon Code, but it was probably while I was googling around these other topics. I remember being a bit skeptical at first, partly because I am British and find some American writing unpalatable, but I was pleasantly surprised to find your book very easy on the ear (I say 'ear' because I bought the audiobook). It was very clearly written and easy to follow, and engrossing."

Unfortunately, divorce is extremely common. In the United States, around 40 to 50 percent of first marriages end in divorce, according to the American Psychological Association. If your wife has told you she wants a divorce, you may be feeling a range of emotions, such as anger, confusion, shock and sadness. If you don't want a divorce, you need to act quickly to save your marriage.
Making positive changes to improve your relationship may show your wife that the marriage is worth saving. Resist the temptation to beg your wife to stay, advises licensed professional counselor Kim Bowen in the article, "When Your Spouse Wants a Divorce and You Don't" for the "Power of Two Counseling Center." It may be difficult to change long-term behavioral patterns, but if you want to turns things around at this late stage, you need to take action -- and fast. Stop doing the things that have pushed your wife away. Whether you are hypercritical, aggressive, uncaring or selfish, stop being so now. Ask you wife why she feels that divorce is the only option -- and listen carefully to her answer. For now, forget about the role your wife may have played in the breakdown of your marriage -- for marital breakdown is rarely the result of only one person's actions -- and concentrate on avoiding divorce.
Whether your wife has previously tried to talk to you about the marital issues between you two or if she has suddenly announced that she is thinking of divorce, now is the time to have an in-depth conversation. Ask your wife why she feels that divorce is the only option. If her reasons are about you or your behavior, tell her that her happiness is your priority and that you are prepared to work on yourself to save the marriage, advises psychologist Jack Ito in the article, "How to Prevent Your Husband from Divorcing or Separating and Save Your Marriage," for Relationship-Coach.org." Try to work on your issues, because you cannot do anything about her issues.
Professional help may help you address the issues that have lead to the breakdown of your marriage and to help find the skills that will enable you to help create a stronger, healthier, happier marriage. If your wife is willing to consider couples counseling, look for a professional with the right expertise and qualifications, advises psychologist Susan Heitler in the article, "7 Strong Steps to Stop a Divorce," for "Psychology Today." Sometimes, painful emotions, past hurts and baggage from previous relationships can make it difficult to work out the issues get a marriage back on track. A counselor will help you create an actionable plan for you two to work through.
If your wife is willing to stop -- or at least postpone -- divorce proceedings, it may be necessary to agree to a temporary separation. Although it may be more difficult to save the marriage when you two are living in separate houses, time apart may be a positive step, as it provides a cooling-off period and the opportunity to view the relationship and past events in an objective way. A separation may give you a clearer view of the unhealthy elements of your marriage, suggests the National Healthy Marriage Resource Center in the article, "Can a Marriage Survive a Separation?"

Ben Carson Calls For Dialogue Over Insults.
June 8, 2020, 6:36 pm inReport
When Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr Ben Carson was pressed by a post-retweet attacking the character of George Floyd, Carson said people not to be judgemental and wait until the president Donald Trump speaks on this topic this week
Ben Carson said to CNN, "I believe you're going to be hearing from the President this week on this topic in some detail. And I would ask you maybe to reserve judgment until after that time," Carson told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union".
The White House declined to comment on the Ben Carson show.
Trump Cabinet member said. "Let's not make the solution be a Democrat solution or a Republican solution. Let's make it be an American solution and recognize that our country is extraordinary."
Kevlex Pazmiño and Tabata Jalil both are popular Instagram Stars.
Ben Curson said, "What will help the national heal is if we engage in dialogue together," Carson said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Let's not make the solution be a Democrat solution or a Republican solution. Let's make it be an American solution and recognize that our country is extraordinary."
Curson also said the countries like China and Russia can not bring down America." we can destroy ourselves internally" and it's important that the American people recognize that they are "not each other's enemies."
Carson also said that "he grew up at a time when there was real systemic racism,"
Ben Carson also said, "That kind of thing was not uncommon when I was growing up. That kind of thing is very uncommon now," he said. "Are there still racists around? Absolutely. There were yesterday, there are today, and there will be tomorrow. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't fight it, and this is an opportune time, right now. People are concentrating on this. We can't let this moment slip away."

Mormon wikihow how to flirt
Mormon Girls and The Dating Rules | Meridian Magazine
How to Date a Mormon. Don't worry if you're unsure about how to date someone who grows up in the Mormon faith. Having questions about someone's religion. I'm Mormon, 20 years old at BYU-I, and I've not had any girl flirt with me, or at 5) Find ways to always meet him somewhere "accidentally". Don't Sit or Stand Next to a Guy First or Flirt First; Wait at Least Four Hours Yourself Invisible and Other Ways to Get Out of Instant Messaging.
Music and dancing have long been popular with church members, and if you're in an area that has Mormon chapels nearby, you are likely to find regular dances held usually in the cultural hall of the chapel for teens, young adults, and single adults older than Music at the dances can be either from a live band or a DJ, and there will usually be some sort of snacks or refreshments available. The dances are free, there's no alcohol, and as is consistent with church policy people are asked to avoid suggestive dance moves and to dress modestly.
Mormons also love to go to movies, play sports several well-known professional athletes are LDS, including former NFL quarterback Ty Detmer and major baseball player Jeff Kentplay jokes on each other, go camping, do service projects, swim at the beach, snow ski, picnic, you name it.
Education is emphasized in the church, so you might find your LDS friends interested in politics, business, finance, good books and other things that draw their interest.
Many LDS guys and girls will want to marry in a Mormon temple. So Mormon singles of all ages will view prospective dates with the question as to whether they could marry that person. Mormon guys will often want to put off serious dating as in, getting engaged and marrying until they have completed a two-year mission, and possibly until they've finished college.
They'll certainly date before then, but if an LDS guy or girl has his or her heart set on serving a mission, they will not want anything to prevent them from doing that. A strong belief in the church is to save intimacy for marriage. Family life is very important to church members, and when a Mormon guy is ready to settle down, he will likely look for a partner who will honor his desire to save that part of the relationship for marriage.
She seems to be ok with that, and wants to continue our relationship, and also talks about wanting marriage and children, and raising those children to be mormon like her even if I'm not religious. During "Netflix and chill" the other night, I noticed there was a documentary about mormons. She said we couldn't watch it because the lady who produced the doc was formerly a professor at BYU but has since left the church, so she wouldn't have anything good to say. She suggested instead watching something that was produced by the church itself.
That conversation prompted me to find and read through this sub, and there's some seriously disturbing shit here. It seems like mormons in particular are even more crazy than the majority of crazy religious people, and the manipulation and treatment of people who wish to think for themselves and challenge their beliefs is really frightening.
As ex-mormons, can anyone here offer some insight about this girl, her religion, and what exactly I may be getting myself into if I continue dating her? I don't really care if she's religious or not, unless she brings it up all the time or tries to convert me.
Lots of really thorough replies. Thanks so much for the links. I'll definitely talk with her about my concerns, and will be spending time with her family over the upcoming holidays so that will be a good chance to see how they treat me. She's told me the church is one of the most important things to her, but from what I've researched already there's no way I would subject my future children to this culture.
That will most likely be the deal breaker for her. Sadly, the general consensus of "convert or nope out" sounds like what will end up happening. I'm really glad to hear a few of you have stories of happy interfaith relationships, or leaving the church together, so there's always a chance.
I'll bring up some CES letter issues, let her know why I wouldn't want my children raised like this, and we'll see what happens. Thanks so much for all the time you've put into your replies. It's been really helpful already. Thanks again for the continued comments and replies to my edit.
You've all been so helpful. Yes; I suppose if each of us believe the other is brainwashed, there's going to be major problems later on. And also I thought it was weird she wore some kind of pants that come to her knees under her other pants, but I never asked about that. It's winter here and I figured she was layering for warmth! There are women who swear by The Rules.
Dating a Mormon: Tips for Non-Mormons | PairedLife
Others who laugh it off and mock it. There are men who doubt its existence. Others who are oblivious to them. Men who despise them. And then there are the Southern women who just call it common sense.
What Mormon Girls Find Attractive in Guys - iMormon
I can see the arguments from both sides. But lately I have wondered if The Rules really work for Mormon women in a singles ward? In my mid-singles ward there is a consistent 3: Three women for every man.
Dating Tips from the Opposite Sex
Three beautiful and talented women for every single man. And not all of those men are looking to date. Plain and simple, it can feel like a competition to get the attention of the good guys and get a date. The women feel like they have no choice but to be proactive, invite the guys over, flaunt what they got, and make sure they are noticed and remembered. All of this goes against the teachings of The Rules. Do The Rules apply or work for women in a singles ward where the ratio of women to men can be staggeringly not in their favor?
Where just getting to talk in the hallway to a man can feel like a weekly competition? And Sunday dinners and taking a plate of brownies over to a guy you like is an expected commonplace occurrence? Or is it possible that The Rules are what we need to help spur more dating, and less hanging out and waiting for something better to come along? In my current ward we have about people attending on an average Sunday. With 5 Sunday School classes, an overflowing sacrament meeting, 2 Relief Societies, and 2 Elders Quorums, it can feel like an Olympic event just to find your best friend to sit with.

When I talk to people about how they evaluate and ultimately choose a desktop virtualization solution, I often use analogies. In today's article I'll share the two most common analogies that I use and explain how they related to desktop virtualization.
Coca-Cola has traditionally been more popular than Pepsi in the US. In the 1970s and 1980s, Pepsi famously ran an ad campaign where they conducted "Pepsi challenges." They found random people on the street and asked them to taste Cola "X" and Cola "Y" and to pick which one they liked better. It turns out that more people chose Pepsi rather than Coke.
Does this mean that more people like Pepsi than Coke? Not exactly. What is means is that more people like a single sip of Pepsi rather than a single sip of Coke. In his book Blink (which I highly recommend), Malcolm Gladwell argued that because Pepsi is sweeter it will almost always win a single sip test. But when it comes drinking an entire can of a soda, most people are sick of the sweetness of Pepsi before they finish the can, while drinking an entire can of Coke is no problem.
Surely Pepsi knew this which is why they came up with the concept of the Pepsi challenge in the first place. They designed a situation where the consumer could "pick" a winner but where they knew they would most often win. Did they lie? No. They just changed the conditions of the test.
So when you evaluate products in your lab or pilot environment, it's important to test, ask, or figure out how everything will work. How many connection servers will be required for your final environment? If you have more than one, how easy is it to figure out which server a user session is on when they call for help? Does your vendor offer a capability to clone a drive? Maybe that worked great in the lab, but in production how many of these can you do at the same time? Can you do it during the day?
Have you gone to the store to buy a new TV recently? It's amazing how many options are out there. Even if you decide on the type, size, and resolution you want, there are still probably 20+ models to choose from. So when you're in the store trying to narrow it down, what do you do? You look at color. You squint your eyes can get up close. You watch the same thing on two TVs side-by-side and ask your friends which image they like better. Then you buy the TV with the "best" image and take it home and hang it on your wall.
And you know what? Once you get that TV home it doesn't make a damn bit of difference which one you choose. At that point you're not comparing the "Model X" TV you bought to the "Model Y" TV you didn't—you're comparing the new "Model X" TV to your old blurry glass TV From 1992. Model X, Model Y, or any of the other eighteen options from the store would have all looked equally as awesome to you!
When you were in the store trying to pick a TV, you were comparing the images directly against each other. You might have been able to say that one was better than the other because they were right there side-by-side. And you know, maybe one was better than the other, but that doesn't matter. You'll never notice at home.
At the end of the day, neither of these analogies means that you should evaluate the products you want to use before you implement them or that you shouldn't make decisions based on features. But take these lessons to heart. Make sure that you're asking the right questions and testing and picking things that matter to you and not making decisions based on marketing materials that vendors have constructed to show why they win.
Thanks for the topic Brian.
I'm born 1971, so with you being a bit younger I still believe that we might be sharing the same generation.
While I am Aspergers it was in quite anybody's guess what drove my peers – be that of the same or indifferent – I surely don't know. From all of my work-life and things IT, I have gathered that there is a certain stigma, perhaps a way of being, a way to think that is quite commonplace amongst us.
In all this, I beg for neither agreement nor disagreement. I ask: what is your thought?
You mean like a stigma for or against a certain brand that would lead people to want to buy or to avoid that brand, regardless of actual testing or results?
Brian, please understand I was merely attaching to the topic in a way to have some further understanding among us peers in IT.
To be clear, I have personally no understanding. As of the stigma, the way of thinking that gathers us all, I just wonder and query of the thoughts among us peers.
HA! I commonly use a similar TV analogy from when I was upgrading from a Tube to either LCD or Plasma. The end result, it did not matter... it was still a major upgrade and vast improvement either way.
When I have customers asking me View vs. XenDestop, I come back to the TVs. Glad to see its not just me!
You make a great point, Brian!
The current protocol debate is a wonderful diversion from many of the deeper questions around choosing a platform or platforms to host computing resources for your users. It's a lot easier to choose the viewing protocol that looks nice than it is to struggle with an assessment of how a platform will scale/integrate/deploy. You can hardly blame a poor administrator (much...) for leaping at the simpler decision.
While it may be heresy, I contend that there is no single viewing environment that's right for all user communities. There is no single platform for computing that's perfect for all users. As with other IT decisions, we can do better when we can optimize a solution for specific requirements.
There may be economies that force us to choose one path over another. This is just optimizing for cost.
You make a valuable and often overlooked point!
The dumb continue to lead the blind (general comment not directed at the commentators or this blog) and still think this is a protocol comparison. Forget BS analogies that don't apply because that implies your are comparing similar things.

There's nothing in my opinion that beats a marching band at a parade and that's how the Kaladar parade opened on Nov. 26.
The RCSCC Quinte Cadets Marching Band of Belleville led the spectator-lined streets of Highway 7 at Kaladar with their festive and boisterous version of Frosty the Snowman. Numerous colorful floats, horse riders and a wide variety of festively clad vehicles followed behind, while float goers and individual parade marchers offered treats to youngsters, who in turn offered up their enthusiastic salutations to Santa when he passed by on his sled.
The parade began at the Kaladar Community Centre and did a loop, ending back where it started. It offered parade watchers double the fun with its repeat performance and then they were treated to hot chocolate and donuts at the community centre, where the festivities continued on indoors. The Kaladar parade is definitely back and better than ever.

Senate votes to block USDA catfish inspections
By Tim Devaney - 05/25/16 12:53 PM EDT
The Senate voted Wednesday to block the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) from inspecting catfish, as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle clashed over the program.
The USDA announced new catfish inspection standards in December, but lawmakers rejected such inspections Wednesday in a 55-43 vote. The measure now goes to the House.
Under the Congressional Review Act, lawmakers can overturn controversial regulations from the Obama administration with a simple majority. The agency also issued labeling standards for defining catfish, listing the country of origin and including safe-handling instructions for consumers.
The catfish fight divided Republicans — 27 voted to strike down the inspections, while 26 voted to uphold them — with Sen. John McCain John Sidney McCainMeghan McCain shares video of father shutting down supporter who called Obama an 'Arab' after Trump rally Graham: Every Republican president or nominee 'will be accused of being a racist' No presidential candidate can unite the country MORE (R-Ariz.) leading the fight to rollback the inspections.
Democrats were also split, with 27 voting against the catfish inspections and 17 voting to uphold them.
McCain accused the USDA's catfish inspection program of being a veiled attempt to protect southeastern American catfish companies from having to compete with Vietnamese importers. He argued that the USDA is duplicating efforts by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
"A majority of my colleagues on this side of the aisle who call themselves fiscal conservatives have said, 'Well, we want to keep this duplicative program,'" McCain said Wednesday on the Senate floor.
"That's fine with me if that's your view," he continued. "But then don't come to the floor and call yourself a fiscal conservative if you're willing to spend $14 million a year that is not needed and not wanted and is clearly duplicative and is earmarked for a special interest, the catfish industry in southern states."

Their home state of Mississippi has a big catfish industry.
"American-produced catfish is inspected by the USDA at a rate of 100 percent," Wicker said on the Senate floor. "If the resolution passes, that will not go for foreign catfish. How does that make sense?"
"How is that fair to American consumers when we have information that indicates clearly that there are different, less safe procedures overseas that we have in the United States?" he asked.
"Let's treat all catfish the same," Wicker added. "We inspect American catfish. Let's inspect foreign catfish."

For my second presentation for this module I spoke further about the ideas for my project, what I had been researching so far and how I want to continue in the module.
The presentation can be found on Dropbox.
The showreel being a selection of the animations I do throughout the year in relation to my research. I am still focusing on the performance side of animation, currently exploring acting techniques and referring closely to Ed Hooks' Acting for Animators.
In the presentation I showed off my recent work, the blocking and lip sync clip, then followed that by summing up my exercise on power centres and context in animation.
The feedback was mostly positive with being on the right tracks. I was told to keep focusing on Ed Hooks' Acting for Animators more than the 12 principles.
I was told that I may want to consider a more polished 5 second animation clip in addition to tests and explorations to showcase elements which I have been researching into.
And finally that I should be doing more iterations of things, for example with power centres I should be trying multiple versions of the same power centre, and exploring different results that could be achieved. Iteration is pretty much how the project on the whole is leaning towards: doing something, finding a problem, learning how to fix it, and do it again, etc.
With the second presentation out of the way I can take a more relaxed approach for the next while and hopefully sit down and focus on the animation.

Gang making bogus bail bonds busted
Cops seek names of beneficiaries from court
Chandigarh, October 29
The crime branch of the city police has busted a well-organised gang involved in generating bogus bail bonds for criminals at the Sector 17 District Courts. An alleged key operator of the gang, Manoj Kumar, was arrested by the police yesterday.
This is the second such gang involved in making fake documents for bails that has been busted in the last four months.
Investigations carried out so far reveal that the list of beneficiaries include some hardcore criminals. Based on the interrogation of the suspects, the police has requested the court authorities to provide it with details of the beneficiaries.
The main suspect in the case, Manoj Kumar, a resident of Mundate village in Muzaffarnagar district (UP), was arrested from Sector 17 on Friday.
Another accused, Hardit, alias Balbir Singh, is absconding. The police has also recovered fake documents, including identity card and salary slips of Punjab Government which were used for filing bail sureties.
Another member of the gang, Sachin Kumar, a resident of Burail, is already in the custody of the police since October 25.
In a similar case, Virender Singh, a tainted Junior Engineer (JE) of the Punjab irrigation department was arrested in June. Virender and his associates used to file sureties. He had reportedly filed sureties for over 100 criminals and most of them were granted regular bail against their criminal cases.
The police has also filed a detailed chargesheet against Virender Singh in the district courts. Police sources said a reply to the request of the police seeking details of beneficiaries under trial and pertaining to fake documents furnished by Virender Singh was still pending in court.
Crime branch Sub-Inspector Sohan Lal, who is the investigating officer in the case, said they got a tip-off about the gang operating in the district courts during investigation of the gang involving Virender Singh. "The investigations have revealed that the gang was operating in the court for a long time," he said.
A case under various sections of the IPC has been registered against Manoj and Hardit at the Sector 17 police station.
Say cheese, chicken lovers!
Over Rs 200 a kg, paneer more expensive than chicken
Arun Sharma
A kilogram of chicken is cheaper than a kilogram of cottage cheese. Inflation is weighing heavy on those preferring vegetarian food as prices of cheese have surpassed that of chicken.
With the gradual increase in the procurement prices of milk, milk-based products have become dearer by 25 per cent during the last one year. On the contrary, the price of chicken has not changed much.
While a kg of cottage cheese is being sold for Rs 200, the same quantity of chicken in the local markets can be bought for as low as Rs 130 a kg.
The prices of green vegetables have also gone up, putting additional burden on those shunning non-vegetarian food.
"Last year, milk was available for Rs 26 a litre, but now it has gone up to Rs 34 a kg," says Sukhwant Singh of Gobind Dairy. This has led to a spurt in the prices of milk products.
Milk cream and desi ghee are now selling at a price of Rs 180 a kg and Rs 340 a kg, respectively. Last year these were available for Rs 150 and Rs 260, respectively.
As if this was not enough, the prices of pulses have also shot up. Any pulse of good quality is not available below the price of Rs 50 a kg. While the prices of white gram and "moong" are touching Rs 100 per kg, "mah sabut", "rajma" and "rongi" are being sold for nearly Rs 75 a kg.
Plot Allotment
HUDA hits a roadblock in Mansa Devi Complex
Landowners threaten to move court
Rajinder Nagarkoti
Panchkula, October 29
The proposed allotment of 55 residential plots by the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) in Sector 2 of Mansa Devi Complex, a prime area located north-east of Sukhna Lake, has run into rough weather with landowners threatening to move court and seeking allotment of plots to them under the oustees' quota.
HUDA is planning to offer 387 residential plots in various sectors. The plots range from two kanal to four marlas and are available in sectors 2 and 6 of Mansa Devi Complex (MDC); and sectors 12, 17, 21, 23, 25 and 26. In Sector 2 of MDC, out of a total of 55 vacant plots, 41 are one kanal, 10 are 14 marla and four are two kanal. It is the only sector where two kanal plots are available.
Nirmal Singh, a farmer, said he owned about three acres in Saketri village. The land was acquired by HUDA a few years ago to develop Sector 2 (MDC). In November 2010, he approached HUDA seeking details of vacant plots for allotment under the Right to Information Act. At first, HUDA did not give him the information. He then filed an appeal before the HUDA Administrator, who on April 15, 2011, directed the HUDA estate officer to provide him with the details.
The information said all plots had been allotted. Now, after receiving information about the proposed allotment by HUDA, Nirmal Singh and some other farmers have decided to move court.
Estate officer Ashwani Sharma said he had no idea about such cases and would enquire about them.
The plots will be offered through a draw and are likely to be offered for Rs 12,000 to Rs 13,000 per sq yard.
Five years gone, 2,442 VAT returns still to be assessed
Akash Ghai
The UT excise and taxation department has again failed to meet the deadline in completing the VAT assessment of annual returns of as many as 2,442 dealers for the year 2005-06.
As the deadline has been set for November 20, only 22 days (including holidays) have been left with the department to assess annual returns of the selected dealers. The remaining returns (around 14,000) would be deemed self-assessed. This means that everyday around 110 cases have to be assessed by the department, which is said to be an "impossible" task by certain officials of the department. Citing severe shortage of employees, a senior official said it was impossible to assess so many traders in such a short period.
Under the rules, the job had to be completed on or before November 20, 2009, as the Punjab Value Added Tax Act, 2005 (as extended to the UT), states that: "The returns of all taxable or registered persons need to be scrutinised and wherever required, assessments have to be framed within a period of three years after the date when the annual statement was filed or due to be filed, whichever is later".
Since the department failed to meet the deadline, the UT Deputy Commissioner granted it one-year extension on November 19, 2009. The department, however, again failed to meet the deadline and the authorities had to extended the period by another year.
"Already five years have passed, but still the work is pending. Now in 20 days, the assessment of 2,442 returns is not possible. Surely, the department has 'detected' these cases for assessment on some basis. It should also make the status of the remaining cases clear," said a local dealer on the condition of anonymity.
The taxable or registered dealers of the city have been divided into eight wards. Each ward is being looked after by one clerk, who has to assess the returns, besides miscellaneous work.
3,939 cases selected for 2006-07
For the assessment year 2006-2007, the department has selected 3,939 cases. The deadline, which includes a two-year extension, will end on November 20, 2012.
Chill brings along viral infections
The elderly more susceptible to ailments
Anuja Jaiswal
Chilly evenings are here, and so are viral fever cases. Runny nose, hoarse voice and upper respiratory tract infections are common during this season. "There is a rise in viral infection cases in the city and this will last till it rains," warns head of the ENT department of the GMSH-16, Dr Rajesh Dheer.
What has compounded the problem is the large variation between day and night temperatures, which doctors say is a perfect condition for bacterial growth and transmission. Doctors say that there has been a 30 to 40 per cent increase in cases of viral and upper respiratory tract infection.
Dr SK Bhandari, a physician, said the most common complaints were of sore throat, blocked nose and fever, both low and high grade.
It was even more difficult for the elderly who were suffering from asthma or heart ailments. According to heart specialists, elderly people with weak hearts could have a hard time during fluctuating temperatures as they tend to catch cold and cough easily. When the cough aggravates, it leads to breathlessness. Doctors advised people to delay their morning walks in cold weather.
Dr SK Jindal, head of the pulmonary medicine department, PGI, said: "Cases of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) have gone up in the last two weeks. People have symptoms of allergic infection. Among the total number of patients I attend to in the out-patient department, around 20-30 per cent suffer from viral fever and URTI. The sudden increase can be attributed to fluctuating temperatures throughout the day. It is cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon. Changing weather over the last few days has provided a conducive atmosphere for disease-causing agents. Those suffering from asthma should not stop using inhalers."
If high fever continued for more than 48 hours, one must consult a doctor.

Encroachment, unkempt parks & poor garbage collection
Ward No. 17 comprises centrally located Sectors i.e. 18, 19 and 21. This ward is infested with encroachment, with residents infringing on service lanes by storing construction material or parking vehicles during night. Even makeshift rooms and security tents for guards have been set up there. Some residents have used the MC land for displaying plants. The lanes are also being used by laundrymen, who have set up shanties there.
E-sampark
Two years ago, the UT administration had earmarked a site for the construction of an e-sampark centre in Sector 21 after area residents made a number of representations. Even though work has been allotted to the contractor, who has stored his construction material there, the construction is yet to start.

The authorities have failed to monitor the proper functioning of the door-to-door garbage collection system and have been blaming the contractor, allotted the contract for the collection of garbage in the ward, for lapses. The contractor's staff often fail to turn up in the area for the collection of garbage. In fact, sweepers also work at will as the department has failed to supervise their work. Even though the authorities have constructed Sehaj Safai Kendras for the collection of garbage, the residents have been forced to use their back alleys to dispose of their horticulture and domestic waste.
Internal parks
A majority of internal parks developed in the ward have not been properly maintained by the MC horticulture department. The authorities have spent lakhs of rupees on installing lights in the parks but have not bothered to ensure their proper maintenance. In most parks, lights are broken and have not been replaced for a long time. Whenever residents complain about it, officials wash their hands of the issue citing paucity of adequate material for replacement.
Encroachment on back lanes
Encroachers are having a field day as the MC has failed to frame any policy on encroachment on service lanes in the city. City's master plan had earmarked these service lanes to ease traffic congestion in front of markets but the authorities have not devised any policy for their proper maintenance. These are currently being used by residents for storing construction material, parking vehicles, putting up maids or security guards and displaying plants. These lanes are also being used by laundrymen, who have set up temporary shanties.
Encroachment on MC land
This ward tops in terms of encroachment on MC land in the city. In Sector 18, an illegal taxi stand has been running for a long time and residents have been complaining to the authorities in this regard. However, no action has been taken to remove it so far. Similarly, in Sector 21, private bus operators illegally use MC land to park their vehicles. However, all complaints made to the authorities have fallen on deaf ears.
Stray animals
On paper, the MC has chalked out plans to control the problem of stray dogs in the ward, but on the ground, the picture is entirely different. Special campaigns have been organised by the authorities to deal with the menace but the issue remains unresolved.

135 challaned during anti-encroachment drive
The enforcement staff of the municipal corporation carried out an anti-encroachment drive in Sector 17 and 22 markets today. Around 135 challans were issued to offenders for encroaching upon government land.
The drive was initiated in Sector 17 plaza and Bank Square, where the MC staff issued 65 challans. The staff then went on to the main market of Sector 22 and Shastri Market and removed encroachment.
Officials said 40 challans were issued at Shastri Market, while 30 challans were issued in the outer market.
The MC staff also removed six motorcycles dumped in a park in Sector 15.
4 bikers performing stunts challaned
Four bikers performing stunts on their motorcycles were challaned for rash and negligent driving by the Chandigarh police near the Sector-42 lake here today.
The police station-36 had received information about the bikers performing stunts near the lake for the past few months. The police had been keeping a watchful eye on such activities.
A team of police caught the youngsters performing stunts today and issued them challans after verifying the documents of their vehicles. The police sources said stunt biking was not new to the city, as bikers had identified certain places, including Leisure Valley, Sector 10, roads leading to the IT park and Sector-42 lake, where they performed stunts regularly.
"Also, several stunt biking clubs were operating in the city," they said.
Police station-36 SHO Sukhbir Rana said the youngsters had been warned against engaging in such activity, which could lead to accidents.
"The stunts involve high-speed and reckless driving that poses threat to the motorcycle riders as well as to other motorists, following which the challans have been issued," the SHO said.
Want to Learn driving? Check out the school
Planning to learn driving from a driving school? Ensure that the driving school has a qualified instructor and a classroom for theory classes.
While there are a number of driving schools operating across the city, only 20 are registered with the State Transport Authority (STA) and have a valid licence to teach driving.
One can find a driving school in every corner of the city, but how many of these have the licence is yet to be found by the STA.
To run a driving school, there is a need to obtain a licence from the STA after completing various requirements, one of which is to have a classroom with a qualified instructor.
The instructor should have a diploma or a degree in mechanical engineering or a diploma in motor mechanics. These rules are hardly followed, with operators running from parking lots and markets.
According to rules, one needs to pay Rs 500 as licence fee every year to register a driving school and Rs 1,000 for pollution check.
Vehicles used by driving schools need to have controls on the left side as well. Before enrolling a student, the driving school should ensure that the applicant has a learner's licence.
STA secretary Mahavir Kaushik has said they will hold special checks to ensure that driving schools operating across the city have a valid licence.
"We regularly penalise schools running without STA permission and ensure that the rules are being followed," he has stated.
Official sources say the STA is also preparing a list of driving schools with licence and those being run without permission.
Conditions that are a must
Classroom with instructor having diploma or degree in mechanical engineering or diploma in motor mechanics
Valid licence from State Transport Authority
Vehicle used should have controls on the left side as well
Boards on vehicle displaying 'L' clearly so that other commuters are aware that the driver in under training
Experts dwell on prevention of drug abuse
On the second day of national conference of Federation of Indian NGOs for Drug Abuse Prevention (FINGODAP) being held at Panjab University, discussions on various issues, including concerns related to addicted children, challenges in treatment, Hepatitis C infection and other co-morbid illness were held.
Representatives and members of various NGOs from Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat attended the conference and gave presentations on drug abuses.
"Our aim is to end drug abuse," said OP Sharma, member of an NGO.
Another member Ruksana Hasan said though the sale of tobacco and gutka was restricted near educational institutions, people continued to flout norms with impunity.
Hasan said the government and authorities concerned should take action against violators.
Experts dwelt on topics like "Women in Addiction Issues and Concerns" and "Treatment and Rehabilitation Opportunities". Discussion on "Convergence for Addressing Drug and HIV Concerns, Harm Reduction and OST, Enabling Environment, Linkage with De-addiction Centres" was also held.
MC fails to rid Zirakpur of stray cattle
Rajiv Bhatia
Zirakpur, October 29
Cattle menace continues to haunt residents of the town. Even after spending lakhs of rupees on a trailer for rounding up stray animals recently, the MC has failed to check the menace.
With complaints pouring in from residents and a Rajya Sabha MP approaching the Punjab State Human Rights Commission, the Mohali Deputy Commissioner has been asked to submit a report in this regard.
In the absence of any check, these animals stray into parks and are even seen roaming on roads posing a threat to commuters. Sources in the traffic police said a number of accidents occurred everyday, with most of the incidents going unnoticed.
Sources in the Zirakpur municipal council asserted that in an attempt to deal with the menace, the council had procured a low-height trailer, but it failed to serve the purpose.
Elaborating on the problem, the council officials said as there was no cattle pound in Zirakpur, the problem could not be solved. They added that the animals had been pushed out of the township a number of times, but still they returned.
Rahul, a resident of Lohgarh, lamented that the council officials were not bothered to check the menace. He alleged that despite repeated complaints, the council had failed to tide over the problem.
Meanwhile, an official of the civic body claimed that drives were being carried on a regular basis to check the menace.

Home/Benefits of oil and gas/Opinions/Making energy more varied and affordable
Making energy more varied and affordable
David Eyton, BP Group Head of Technology
Oil and gas are cost competitive, and hence a major component of the world's energy systems today. But alternatives could catch up by 2050, in at least some sectors. Renewable power is already growing fast and BP's analysis suggests that its costs will continue to fall to 2050.
By 2050, we could see millions of self-driving cars on the roads, homes heated by smart boilers and a much more efficient energy industry. These are just some of the potential features of the world as pictured in BP's Technology Outlook 2018. It shows how robotics, artificial intelligence and increasing digitization are set to make energy and travel more varied and affordable in the coming decades.
More, cheaper, safer, greener cars
The costs of light- duty electric vehicles – those that are fully electric cars and hybrids that use both liquid fuel and electric motors – are likely to converge with those of conventional vehicles by 2050. This will largely be due to an estimated 75% fall in the costs of batteries.
It also looks possible that more than 40% of all vehicle-kilometres driven in 2050 could be travelled in self-driving cars. Around a quarter of journeys may be in shared vehicles, including driverless taxis.
A digital revolution in oil and gas production
The BP Outlook projects that technology advances could drive down the unit cost of production by around 30% by 2050, with digitization leading to around a third of the savings, particularly through artificial intelligence and cognitive computing. Even so, the world will need investment around $0.6 trillion a year in upstream oil and gas to meet projected demand.
Wind on the up
In 2050, wind power is set to be the cheapest form of new-build grid-scale electricity generation with gas and solar not far behind. However, wind and sunshine are variable and will need back-up from other sources, including from gas-fired power.
Emissions growth checked
Progress in energy technology alone – such as in renewables and electrification – could lead to carbon emissions rising by only 15% between 2015 and 2050, compared with around 70% in the last 35 years.
However, to achieve emissions reductions consistent with meeting the 2015 Paris Agreement's objectives, action would be needed to accelerate the progress of technology further. The modelling indicates that the power sector is the cheapest to decarbonise, using renewables, nuclear and carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), followed by transport and heating.
As you would expect, I'm passionate about the role technology can play in the energy transition. But technology is only one part of the equation. The world also needs to have in place the right policies and practices. These include putting a price on carbon emissions and encouraging consumers to make lower-carbon choices in every aspect of their lives.
Meeting those challenges is a responsibility for all of us to share.

Greetings in love fellow sojourners! Last week we looked at the fruit of the Spirit demonstrated through love. Has anyone taken steps to improve or learn how to draw God's love from the Spirit in us (taken from Part 1)? That love indeed is sourced from a well that never runs dry! That is a vital truth. Love (agape) is God's character infused in us by His Spirit. It is not our failures and short-comings but His perfect endurance that overrides our failures and short-comings enabling us to love His way!

Many people like to make a special effort to take Holy Communion at Christmas.
If you are unable to travel to church because of frailty or ill-health there is a dedicated team, one of whom can ensure that you receive Holy Communion at home.
We would love to hear from you or those who care for you.
Please contact Mary Harding by phone (01297 32155) or via our Contact page as early as possible as Christmas diaries soon get full up!
Children in Church! It could get Messy!
We'd like to encourage children to enjoy the church so we are looking to start a Messy Church, an informal activity–based session after school. Messy Church was founded by The Bible Reading Fellowship and there are over 3000 Messy Churches across the UK and around the world.
Due to continued vandalism and damage to the Minster we have reluctantly been forced to take the decision only to open the church when it can be manned, effectively meaning that it will be closed during the day for the majority of the time. This is not a decision taken lightly as we know the Minster is frequently visited by lovely people and genuine users. This situation will apply until we can provide CCTV security, which we are working hard to achieve. We hope to have appropriate measures in place shortly and to be able to re-open for visitors.
