Containing an account of the original of the Earth, and of all the GENERAL CHANGES which it hath already undergone, or is to undergo; till the CONSUMMATION of all things.
The Burning of the WORLD.
AND An ODE to the author by Mr. Addison.
Printed for H. LINTOT, at the Cross-Keys against St. Dunstan-Church in Fleet Street.
We have still the broken materials of that first World; and walk upon its Ruins; while it stood, there was the seat of Paradise, and the scenes of the Golden age; when it fell, it made the Deluge; and this unshapen Earth we now inhabit, is the form it was found in when the waters had retir'd, and the dry land appear'd. These things, Sir, I propose and presume to prove in the following treatise, which I willingly submit to your Majesty's judgement and Censure; being very well satisfied, that if I had sought a Patron in all the List of Kings, your Contemporaries, or in the Roll of your Nobles of either order, I could not have found a more competent Judge in a speculation of this nature. Your Majesty's Sagacity, and happy Genius for natural history, for observations and Remarks upon the Earth, the Heavens, and the sea, is a better Preparation for Inquiries of this kind, than all the dead learning of the Schools.
Having given an account of whole work in the first Chapter, and of the method of either book, whereof this Volume consists, in their proper places, there remains not much to be said here to the reader. This theory of the Earth may be called Sacred because it is not the common Physiology of the earth, or of the bodies that compose it, but respects only the great Turns of Fate, end the revolutions of our natural World; such as are taken notice of in the Sacred writings, and are truly the Hinges upon which the Providence of this earth moves; or whereby it opens and' shuts the several successive scenes whereof it is made up. This English Edition is the same in substance as the Latin version though I confess it 'is not so properly a translation, as a new composition upon the same ground, there being several additional chapters in it and several new-moulded.
As every science requires a peculiar Genius, so likewise there is a Genius peculiarly improper for every one: and as to Philosophy, which is the contemplation of the works of nature, al the Providence that governs them, there is no temper or genius, in my mind, so improper for it, as that which we call a mean and narrow Spirit and which the Greeks call Littleness of Soul. This is a defect in the first make of some men's minds, which can scarce ever be corrected Afterwards, either by learning or age. and as Souls that are made little and, incapacious cannot enlarge their thoughts to make in any great compass of times or things; so what is beyond their compass, or above their reach they are apt to look upon as fantastical, or at lean would willingly have it pass for such in the World. Now as there is nothing so great, so large, so immense, as the works of nature, and the methods of Providence," men of. this complexion must needs be very unfit for the contemplation of them. Who would set a purblind man at the top of the mast to discover land? Or upon an high Tower to draw a landskip of the country round about? For, the same reason, shortsighted minds are unfit to make philosophers, whose proper business is to discover and describe in comprehensive Theories, the phenomena of the World, and causes of them.
This original disease of the mind is seldom cured by learning, which cures many others; 'Tis like a fault in the first Stamina of the body, which cannot be rectified afterwards. 'Tis a great mistake to think that every sort of learning that makes a man a competent judge of natural speculations: We see unhappy examples to the contrary amongst the Christian Fathers, and particularly in St. Austin, who was unquestionably a man of parts and learning, but interposing in a controversy where his talent did not lie, shew'd his zeal against the Antipodes to very ill purpose, though he drew his reasons partly from Scripture. and if within a few years or in the next generation, it should prove as certain and demonstrable, that the Earth is mov'd, as it is now, that there are Antipodes; those that have been zealous against it, and engag'd the Scripture in the controversy, would have the same reason to repent of their forwardness, that St. Austin would have now,, if he was alive. 'Tis a dangerous thing to engage the authority of Scripture in disputes about the natural World, in opposition to reason; lest time, which brings all things to light, should discover that to be evidently false which we had made Scripture to assert: and I remember St. Austin in his exposition upon Genesis, hath laid down a rule to this very purpose, though he had the unhappiness, it seems, hot to follow it always himself. The reason also, which he gives there for this rule, is very good. and substantial: *For, saith he if the Unbelievers or Philosophers- shall certainly know us to be mistaken, and to err in those things that, concern the natural world, and see that we alledge our (Sacred) books for such vain opinions, how shall they believe those same books when they. tell them of the RESURECTION of the Dead, and the World to come, if they find them to be fallaciously writ in such things as lie within their certain knowledge?
We are not to suppose that any truth concerning the, natural World can be an Enemy to Religion; for truth cannot be an Enemy to truth, God is not divided against himself ; and therefore we ought not upon that account to condemn or censure what we have not examin'd or cannot disprove; as those that are of this narrow Spirit we are speaking of, are very apt to do. Let every thing be try'd and examin'd in the first place, whether it be, true or false; and if it be found false 'tis then to be consider'd, whether it be such a falsity* as is prejudicial to Religion or no. But for every new theory that is propos'd, to be alarm'd as if all Religion was falling about our Ears, is to .make the .World suspect that we are very ill assur'd of the foundation it stands upon. Besides, do not all men complain, even these as well as others, of the great ignorance of mankind? How little we know, and how m�ch is still unknown? and can we ever know more, unless something new be discover'd? It cannot be old when it comes first to. light, when first invented, and first propos'd. If a Prince should complain of the poorness �f his Exchequer, and the scarcity of Money in his Kingdom, would he be angry with his Merchants, if they brought him home a Cargo of good Bullion, or a mass of,Go1d out of a foreign country? and give this reason only for it, He would have no new Silver; neither should any be current in his Dominions but what had his own Stamp and Image upon it: How should this Prince or his people grow rich? To complain of want, and yet refuse all Offers of a supply, looks very, sullen, or very fantastical.
To enter no further upon this matter, 'tis enough to observe, that when we make judgments and censures upon general presumptions and prejudices, they are made rather from the temper and model of our own spirits, than from reason; and therefore, if we would neither impose upon ourselves, nor others, we must lay aside that lazy and fallacious method of censuring by the lump, and must bring things close to the test of true or false, to explicit proof and evidence; and whosoever makes such objections against an hypothesis, hath a right to be heard, let his temper and Genius be what it will. Neither do we intend that any thing we have said here should be understood in another sense.
To conclude, This theory being writ with a sincere intention to justify the doctrines of the Universal Deluge, and of a Paradisiacal state, and protect them from the cavils of those that are no well-wishers to Sacred history, upon that account it may reasonably expect fair usage; and acceptance with all that are well-dispos'd; and it will also be, I think, a great satisfaction to them to see those pieces of most ancient history, which have been chiefly preserv'd in Scripture, confirm'd anew, and by another light, that of nature and Philosophy; and also freed from those misconceptions or misrepresentations, which made them fit uneasy upon the spirits even of the best men that took time to think. Lastly, In things purely speculative, as these are, and no a ingredients of our Faith it is free to differ from one another in our opinions and sentiments; and, so I remember St Austin hath observ'd upon this very subject of. Paradise; wherefore as we desire to give no offence our selves, so neither sha11 we, make any at the difference of judgment in others; provided this liberty be mutual, and that we all agree to study peace, truth and a good life.

The Introduction : An account of the whole York, of the extent and general order of it.
A general account of Noah's Flood; A computation what quantity of Water would be necessary for the making of it; That the common opinion and explication of that Flood is not intelligible.
All evasions concerning the Flood answered; That there was no creation of waters at the Deluge; and that it was not particular or national, but extended throughout the whole Earth. A prelude and preparation to the true account and explication of it. The method of first book.
That the Earth and mankind had an original, and were not from Eternity; prov'd against Aristotle. The first Proposition of our theory laid down, viz. That the Antediluvian Earth was of a different form and Construction from the present. This is prov'd from Divine authority, and from the Nature and form of the Chaos, out of which the Earth was made.
The second proportion is laid down, viz. That The face of the Earth before the Deluge was smooth, regular and uniform; without mountains. and without a sea. The Chaos out of which the World rise, is fully examin'd, and all its motions observed, and by what steps it wrought it. self into an habitable World. some things in antiquity relating to the first state of the Earth are interpreted and some things in the sacred writings The divine art and Geometry of the first Earth is observ'd and celebrated.
The dissolution of the first Earth: The, Deluge ensuing thereupon. and the present Earth rising the Ruins of first.
That the explication that we give given of an Universal Deluge is not an IDEA only but can account of what really came to pass in the Earth, and the true explication of Noah's Flood. An examination of Tehom-Rabbah or the Great Abyss, and that by it the sea cannot be understood, nor the subterraneous waters as they are at present. What the true notion and form of it was, collected from Moses and other Sacred writers. observations on Deucalion's Deluge.
The particular history of Noah's Flood is explained in all t he material parts and Circumstances of it, according to the preceding theory. Any seeming difficulties remov'd and the whole section concluded with a place how far the Deluge may be look'd upon is' the effect of an ordinary Providence, and how far extraordinary.
Concerning the channel of the sea and the original of it; the causes of its irregular form and unequal depths: As also of the original of islands, their situation and other Properties.
Concerning the Mountains of the Earth, their greatness and irregular form, their situation, causes and origin.
C H A P XII.
A short Review, of what hath been already treated of, and in what manner All methods whether philosophical or theological, that have been offer'd by others for the explication of the form of that Earth, are examin'd and refuted A conjecture concerning the other Parts, their natural form and state compar'd with ours; especially concerning Jupiter and Saturn.
The introduction and contents of the second book. The general state of the rival Earth, and of Paradise.
The great change of the World since the Flood, from what it was in the first ages. The Earth under its present form could not be Paradisiacal, nor any part of it.
A digression concerning the natural causes of longevity. That the Machine of an animal consists springs, and which are the two principal. The age of the ante-diluvians to be computed by Solar, not Lunar Years.
Concerning the waters of the primitive Earth: What the state of the regions of the air was then, and how all waters proceeded from them. How the rivers rose, what was their course, and how they ended. several things in Sacred Writ that confirm this Hydrography of the first Earth, especially the Post-diluvian origin of the Rainbow.
A Recollection and Revue of what hath been said concerning the Primitive Earth, with a more full, Survey of the state of the World, Natural and civil, and the Comparison of it with the present World.
Concerning the Place of Paradise; It cannot be determin'd from the theory only, nor from Scripture only; What the sense of Antiquity was concerning it, as to the Jews and Heathens, and a especially as to the Christian Fathers; that they generally plac'd it out of this continent, in the Southern Hemisphere.
A general objection against this theory, viz. .That if there had been such a Primitive Earth, as we pretend, the fame of it would have sounded throughout all Antiquity. The Eastern and Western learning consider'd; the most considerable records of both are lost; what foot steps remain relating to this subject. The Jewish and Christian learning consider'd, how far lost as to this argument, and what Notes or Traditions remain. lastly, How far the Sacred writings bear witness to it. The Providential conduct of knowledge in the world. A Recapitulation and state of the theory.
Several encroachment of natural Providence, or misrepresentations of it, and false methods of contemplation; Preparatives to the true method propos'd, and a true representation of the Universe. The Mundane Idea, and the Universal system of Providence. several subordinate systems, That of our Earth and Sublunary World. The, course and periods of it. How much of this is already treated of, and what remains. The Conclusion.

Synagoga w Płońsku – nieistniejąca murowana synagoga w Płońsku w województwie mazowieckim. Wzniesiona około roku 1670 w stylu barokowym.

Zbudowana około 1670 (na mocy przywileju), według innych źródeł dopiero w XVIII wieku, zniszczona została w czasie II wojny światowej. Rozebrana w 1956 z uwagi na zły stan techniczny, podobno w czasie jednej nocy, wraz z przylegającymi do niej Bejt ha-Midraszem (dom nauki) i mykwą.
Obecnie w miejscu synagogi znajduje się lokalna siedziba Zakładu Ubezpieczeń Społecznych.

Hey ya'll and happy Monday! I'm getting a late start today but a start nonetheless. Thanksgiving was absolutely wonderful and I'm still dreaming about all the good food we had and excellent leftovers as well. I'm bummed I have to start cooking again this week because we've been so spoiled. We've gotten all of our Christmas decor up, including a new little tree for Andi's room and I can't wait to share pics of everything later this week!
So I'm thinking her visit with Santa may be an absolute disaster this year. For small business Saturday, we took her to see the Grinch (she loved him last year) ..... this year ya'll was meltdown central. It was funny, of course, but also awful because I have NEVER seen her freak out like that. whew! Anyway, after black Friday shopping, small business Saturday, and a birthday party for my brother-in-law, we went to church and then relaxed all Sunday at my parent's house and helped them deck the halls. Overall it was a fabulous weekend and I hope ya'll had a great one as well!
Sounds like a great Thanksgiving - can't wait to see your decorations!
You and your Mini Me...so stinking cute!
Looks like you guys had the best time - Andi's outfits are the cutest!
Sounds like such a fun weekend, even with the Grinch meltdown!
Pleased to know about your weekend party and hope you had great time. Well, I am planning to arrange a family brunch party so searching for elegant New York venues Wish to hire an expert caterer who can prepare yummy food for guests.

Q: Do I Have To Explicitly Define Points/Lines/Planes? The problem I was given is as follows:

Assignment:  Draw and label the following figures.
Two planes that do not intersect. Lines  LM  and  NP  on the same plane
  (coplanar) but do not intersect. Points X and Y lie on line  AB .

My submitted answer was as follows:

This is online high school and these were the comments left by my teacher:

1) Since planes extend infinitely, I cannot tell whether or not plane R will intersect with plane S -1 point
2) You did not draw any lines (you just placed points L, M, N, and P somewhere in a plane) -5 points
3) Once again, you do not have a line!  If you would have drawn a line, it looks like points X and Y would fall on line AB, but I can't
  give you points because "I think" you understand what was asked.  You
  must show me -5 points

Here is my frustration:

I am not convinced that his comments, or point deductions are valid!
  To address his first comment, I just used some common sense and found
  that there really is no way to illustrate two planes on a different Z
  axis without showing the objects from a perspective view (rather than
  an orthographic view). (This is my experience with 3d software
  speaking) Am I wrong?
Addressing the second and third point: Being that lines/planes/etc are
  just the relations between points, isn't my illustration still
  correct?

I just started this course and I'm starting to wonder if I am as stupid as this teacher makes me feel with his comments on this assignment; or if he is being ridiculous. Either way, I'll learn something new.

A: *

*Yes, the drawing is unclear, and yes, using a perspective view would likely have made things clearer. In particular a perspective view where you could see the planes intersecting the axes of some coordinate system in different positions.
Another way might have been drawing the planes in such a way that they partially hide one another, to demonstrate that they are in different heights. Then the fact that the section you draw is drawn parallel might be taken to indicate that the planes are parallel as well, so they will never intersect. This might even work in the orthographic setup.

*Yes, drawing of the lines was part of the task.

*Here one might have more success in arguing that "line $AB$" was part of the constraints for $X$ and $Y$, but that the position of $X$ and $Y$ themselves was what you'd have to draw. But that argument fails since $A$ and $B$ were not given either, and not drawing them makes no sense at all. So when you draw $A$ and $B$, then drawing the line joining them as well seems only reasonable.
On the whole, I'd say the judgement was justified. Whether it was appropriate depends on how many points there were to be gained over all, since you do demonstrate understanding of the issues at hand. But instead of confronting someone over this score, I'd rather suggest you see this as an indication of the kind of work that will be expected from you in this course, and try to adapt to that expectation. That way, you can work with the teacher instead of against him, which will make the whole course much more profitable to you.

Q: 2 Wordpress Sites on 1 host; one php4 the other php5 - So, I have two websites setup through 1and1 hosting. One, apparently needs php4 the other apparently needs php5.
The site that is priority requires php4; the other php5. When I switch them, one of the sites break in response. The php4 site's menu is destroyed and displays code and ugly errors in it's place, the other is broken by when you attempt to 'click' anything with the Wordpress Control panel (ie; Click 'posts' and get an error 500).
Anyone know what to do?

A: Rewrite the code to work with PHP5 or put the sites on separate hosting. PHP 5 is now over 7 years old. You should not expect to be able to continue hosting that PHP 4 site anywhere much longer.

According to phone records, four calls take place between imam Anwar al-Awlaki and Omar al-Bayoumi on February 4, 2000. This is the same day 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar move into their own apartment in the Parkwood Apartments complex in San Diego (see February 4-Mid-May 2000). [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 517] On this day, al-Bayoumi is the co-signer and guarantor on their lease, and pays their first months' rent and deposit. It is possible they are using al-Bayoumi's phone at this time. [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 10/3/2001 ; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 517] An FBI agent who investigated the calls will later say that he is 98 percent certain that the phone is being used by Alhazmi and Almihdhar at the time. The phone will call al-Awlaki on February 10, 16, and 18 as well (see Spring 2000). [9/11 Commission, 11/17/2003 ] Al-Bayoumi, a suspected Saudi spy, helps the hijackers settle in San Diego in many ways (see January 15-February 2000). Al-Awlaki is the imam for the hijackers at the Al-Ribat Al-Islami mosque (also known as Rabat) on the La Mesa-San Diego border (see February-August 2000). US investigators will later conclude he is connected to al-Qaeda and probably involved in the 9/11 plot. [Washington Post, 2/27/2008] Al-Awlaki is the subject of an FBI counterterrorism investigation at the time these calls are made, but the investigation is closed one month later (see June 1999-March 2000).
Yazeed al-Salmi lives with future 9/11 hijacker Nawaf Alhazmi for about a month in the San Diego house of an FBI informant. Alhazmi has lived in the house with Khalid Almihdhar and FBI informant Abdussattar Shaikh since May 2000 (see Mid-May-December 2000), but Almihdhar left to go overseas in June and did not return to San Diego (see June 10, 2000). Apparently there are no other new roommates for the rest of the time Alhazmi lives at the house until December 2000 except for al-Salmi. Al-Salmi moves in with Alhazmi and Shaikh just three days after arriving in the US on a student visa. Hijacker associate and suspected Saudi spy Omar al-Bayoumi, who nominally reports to al-Salmi's uncle, Mohammed Ahmed al-Salmi of the Saudi Civil Aviation ministry, helped al-Salmi find the accommodation (see September 1998-July 1999). Curiously, al-Salmi was a childhood friend of 9/11 hijacker Hani Hanjour in Saudi Arabia. [KGTV 10 (San Diego), 10/11/2001; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 222, 518; 9/11 Commission, 8/21/2004, pp. 139 ] In early September, Alhazmi apparently helps al-Salmi cash some checks (see September 5, 2000). After al-Salmi moves out of the house, he moves into a nearby apartment with Modhar Abdullah and others. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 222, 518] After 9/11, there will be reports that both al-Salmi and Abdullah may have had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks (see Late August-September 10, 2001).
FBI Informant Stays Silent - The hijackers are living with an FBI informant named Abdussattar Shaikh who is aware of their contact with at least Mustafa, and Shaikh has given reports about Mustafa to the FBI in the past. However, Shaikh fails to tell the FBI about their contacts with him. The 9/11 Congressional Inquiry will later strongly imply that Salamah and Mustafa assisted the hijackers with the 9/11 plot, but the FBI will appear uninterested in them and will maintain that the hijackers received no assistance from anyone. [US Congress, 7/24/2003, pp. xii, 11-12, 143-146, 155-157 ] Shaikh will also later admit that he knew Alhazmi was working illegally at the gas station, but he didn't tell his FBI handler about this (see Autumn 2000).
Yazeed al-Salmi. [Source: Channel 10 News]A total of $1,900 is deposited in 9/11 hijacker Nawaf Alhazmi's Bank of America account from a set of traveler's checks worth $4,000 that were issued in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on July 16, 2000 to a man named Yazeed al-Salmi. The same day, Alhazmi withdraws $1,900. US investigators will therefore later hypothesize that Alhazmi is just helping al-Salmi cash the checks, since al-Salmi does not open a US bank account of his own until September 11, 2000. Al-Salmi arrived in San Diego on a student visa on August 7, 2000 and moved in with Alhazmi and FBI counterterrorism informant Abdussattar Shaikh three days later, staying for about one month (see August 10-September 2000 and Mid-May-December 2000). After 9/11, the FBI will detain al-Salmi as a material witness and question him because of his contacts with Alhazmi, and he will testify before a grand jury before being deported to Saudi Arabia. However, al-Salmi does not mention the traveler's checks in the interrogation and the FBI will not find out about them until after he is deported. Also, another associate of the hijackers, Mohdar Abdullah, will later claim that al-Salmi tells him he previously knew hijacker pilot Hani Hanjour as a child in Saudi Arabia (see (Early 2000-November 2000)). When the FBI interviews al-Salmi again, in Saudi Arabia in 2004, he will claim he no longer remembers the $1,900 transaction, and the FBI will fail to ask him about his alleged childhood ties to Hanjour. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 222, 518; 9/11 Commission, 8/21/2004, pp. 139 ; Time, 8/22/2004] There are later indications that al-Salmi and some of his associates have some foreknowledge of 9/11 (see Late August-September 10, 2001).

What right-wing violent extremists and jihadists have in common
The parallels between the extreme ideologies of the violent far right and the global jihadist fringe are too striking to ignore. Both believe that they are in a cosmic war between good and evil. Both look back to an imagined glorious past that has been derailed by an imagined inglorious present. Both think that their way of life is under existential threat and that only extreme violence can save their souls.

'ISIS and the Pornography of Violence' is a collection of iconoclastic essays on ISIS, spanning the four-year period from its ascendancy in late 2014 to its demise in early 2018. From a trenchant critique of the infantilisation of jihadists to a probing examination of the parallels between gonzo porn and ISIS beheading videos, the pieces collected in this volume challenge conventional ways of thinking about ISIS and the roots of its appeal. Simon Cottee's core argument is that Western ISIS recruits, far from being brainwashed or 'vulnerable' dupes, actively responded to the group's promise of redemptive violence and self-sacrifice to a total cause.
The Apostates
The Apostates is the first major study of apostasy from Islam in the western secular context. Drawing on life-history interviews with ex-Muslims from the UK and Canada, Simon Cottee explores how and with what consequences Muslims leave Islam and become irreligious.
'Free people should be able to abandon their religion without being punished. Simon Cottee brings us the stories of British and Canadian ex-Muslims who live in the shadow of stigma and with the threat of ostracism. Wider society has ignored them, and the most disgraceful elements of the Left have denounced them, but here they can speak for themselves. Books are too often described as "important" or "original" when they are neither. The Apostates is both.' — Nick Cohen, columnist and author of You Can't Read This Book: Censorship in an Age of Freedom

Your Review - Fantastic service from this company! Delivered super quick, even over a Bank Holiday. Love this product, exactly as expected.
Your Review - Great product. I had bought the sleepyhead deluxe before this and my baby girl has always slept very well. I swear it's because of these pods. The price is quite expensive for what it actually is but it's worth every penny in good sleep!
This isfrien our second pod.First was a deluxe for new baby and it's so handy that we continue with this larger size. Have recommended it to all friends.
We use this for everything, and it's come in so handy when we least expected it to. Great value for money and we'd recommend to all parents of a young child.
A friend had told about the sleepyhead pod's, and I only wish that I'd purchased one sooner. We use it for everything and take it everywhere, and we especially like how it can be used as a travel cot. We're yet to find all of it's uses!
