Jillian Peever Dance Creations proudly announces the world premiere of The Mystery of Mr. Leftovers, a contemporary performance piece that merges dynamic dance with outrageous theatrics - and the first ever, full-length solo work performed by Jillian Peever. Acclaimed dance artist Sharon B. Moore (K.M. Hunter Award nominee, triple Dora nominee) choreographs and directs, while dance icon Peggy Baker (Governor General's Award for Lifetime Achievement) acts as Peever's solo-performance mentor.
Both of these highly esteemed veterans will guide and challenge this emerging dance artist as she inhabits this extraordinary creation. The Mystery of Mr. Leftovers runs Thursday, February 25 to Saturday, February 27, 2016 at 8pm nightly at the Winchester Street Theatre in Toronto's Cabbagetown area.
Peever first publicly incarnated Mr. Leftovers in Fantasies and Other Poisons (2012) which blossomed out of Moore's work with four students from the graduating class at The School of Toronto Dance Theatre, Peever being one of them. Both Moore and Peever were compelled to go deeper into Mr. Leftovers' quirky and mysterious nature and see what transpired. Later that year, Peever joined Moore for a portion of Moore's Creative Residency at Princeton University in New York where much of the creation took place. The solo is complex: the movements fast and precise, layered with text and theatrics.
The Mystery of Mr. Leftovers is a desperate and uncomfortable plea for companionship and love. In a series of odd circumstantial adventures, Mr. Leftovers searches through the echoes of his own history leaving him somewhat unassembled. His interior world is made up of leftover thoughts: thoughts he did not communicate but wanted to, the thoughts of others, stuttering recapitulations of self-commentary, analysis and extreme - sometimes socially unacceptable - behaviour. He seeks to build himself up by discovering, readjusting and fulfilling his own legend of himself, whether true or false. He survives his past traps and illusions by creating new ones. After all, we are what we create.
"Will audiences understand the states of being that Mr. Leftovers exists in? Will they see themselves reflected in his strange world? Will they recognize parts of his unassembled self? As an artist, I am constantly attracted to the theme of the human condition. What defines us? What makes us happy, or balanced? The Mystery of Mr. Leftovers inherently asks these questions - but with a side of ridiculousness," says Peever, excited by the challenge.

SRtRC Volunteer responds to Trump
February 02, 2017 by srtrc in Scotland
Read about what our amazing volunteer Luke Campbell has to say regarding Trump's actions
On Friday 27th January, US President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order barring citizens from seven Muslim majority countries from entering the US. Executive Orders are a form of fast tracked, short term legislation derived from Article II of the US Constitution that bypass the USA's checks and balances system, as well as often being signed off without input from the US Justice Department or homeland security agencies. The Executive Order came into immediate effect, with people landing at airports around the country being prevented or delayed from leaving the building, and at times deported on return flights. In the immediate aftermath, thousands of protesters banned together at US airports, and lawyers pitched up at fast food restaurant tables to offer free legal aid to those left stranded. The ban will primarily affect Muslim citizens, with each of the seven countries boasting a Muslim majority population. Banning an individual or group of individuals from entering the US based on their religion has been heavily criticised by many as 'unconstitutional' and 'a violation of human rights'.
Under this Order, one of six signed off by Trump in his first seven days in office, citizens with passports from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, cannot enter the US for the next 90 days, however the ban on Syrians is as yet for an undetermined period of time. The USA's refugee resettlement programme has also been suspended for 120 days, regardless of where the individual is arriving from and with little concern for the consequences or fate of the individual once they have been turned away. In 2016, the PEW Research Center noted that in the last fifteen years only '32% (of refugees to the US) have been Muslim', with a majority of these people arriving from Syria, Somalia, Iraq, Burma, and Afghanistan. The US Customs & Border Patrol have stated that arrives will be "treated according to the travel document they present", meaning that travellers holding dual nationality should present their passport from a country which is not named in the executive order.
Within minutes of the official announcement of Donald Trump's Executive Order, activists throughout Scotland, the UK, and further afield, set about making plans to raise their voices in protest at its discriminatory and largely Islamophobic nature. An online UK Government and Parliament petition (created by a Graham Guest) calling for Trump's proposed State Visit to the UK to be cancelled, garnered more than a 1.4 million signatures within less than two days (1.7 million at the time of writing). Whilst Guest's petition suggested that a visit would 'cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen', the sentiment was felt by monarchists and republicans alike. Petitions raised through these official channels dictate that 'Government responds to all petitions that get more than 10,000 signatures', and that the '(UK) Parliament considers all petitions that get more than 100,000 signatures for a debate'.
In Scotland, thousands attended protests on Monday 30th January, in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, St. Andrew, etc. with hundreds more activists and well wishers from around the world flooding the protests' Facebook event pages, sending their apologies in light of work and care commitments, noting their support for those attending, and voicing their solidarity with those affected by the Order. Yet more posted their support on Twitter utilising the #BanTrump and #MuslimBan. With UK Prime Minister Theresa May having undertaken an official State Visit to the US earlier in the week, many protesters were heavily critical that she had not publically criticised Trump during her joint press conference with the Irish Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, rather May responded by stressing that the "United States is a close ally of the United Kingdom".
The Edinburgh protest gathered at the Foot of the Mound, where speakers including Assad Khan (Edinburgh University Islamic Society), Scottish Green Party Co-Convenor Maggie Chapman, Deborah Kayembe (Human Rights Lawyer), Shuwanna Aaron (NUS Scotland Black Students' Officer), and Johnathon Shafi (Scotland Against Trump) spoke out against the Order. The thousands of protesters, numbering between 5,000 and 7,000 based on different sources, proceeded to march along Princes Street, passed Waverly Station, and then down the Royal Mile to the Scottish Parliament.

Blessed For Waiting
"And therefore will YaHuWaH wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for YaHuWaH is an Elohiym of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him."
YeshaYahuw 30:18
"But they that wait upon YaHuWaH shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
"And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am YaHuWaH: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me."
"YaHuWaH is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him."
Lamentation 3:25
Armageddon Survivors.
Blessed Forever For WAITING
The LAST CRISES BEGIN
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Dani'El 12:12 KJV
As we did with the First Timeline of Dani'El chapter 12:6-7, we shall reacquaint ourselves of the definition of terms, the hermeneutics and then go on to decode this intriguing but most important prophecy.
But thou, O Dani'El, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end...
The third vision-outline again repeats the description of the rise and fall of empires, but adds a 2300 day-year timeline which began in 457 B.C. and ended in A.D. 1844, at the time of the opening of the investigative judgment in heaven. The computation of this 2300 day-year timeline of Dani'El 8: 14 moves still further forward in datable time to A.D. 1844.
The Jesuits, such as Francisco Ribera and Louis de Alcazar, used the malicious technique of interchanging literal and symbolic language, to discredit a correct application of the "little horn" of Dani'El 7:25, representing Papal Rome as it reigned from AD. 538-1798. They ignored the context of symbolic "beasts" and declared the symbolic "time, and times, and dividing of time" of Dani'El 7:25 to be literal time.
...the seven thunders ... relate to future events which will be disclosed in their order. Dani'El will stand in his lot at the end of the days. John saw the little book [Dani'El] unsealed. Then Dani'El's prophecies have their proper place in the first, second, and third Angels' messages to be given [future] to the world. The unsealing of the little book was a message in relation to TIME.
Seventh Day Adventist Bible Commentary, p. 971
In Dani'El 12 there is no prophetic symbolism-no image, no beasts , no horns, no crowns, no mountains, no stone, no winds, no eyes, no mouth, none of the prophetic symbolism otherwise used in Dani'El or Revelation. It is true that Dani'El was in vision when he heard the conversation recorded in Dani'El 12, but still there is no symbolism in the text. Therefore Dani'El 12 SHOULD BE READ IN ITS MOST LITERAL SENSE.
In this process of decoding or interpretation of symbolism, no man is permitted to insert his own private opinions or conjecture as to the meaning of a symbol or figure or type. These meanings must be derived by cross reference Bible study in which other portions of the Scripture unlock or decode the meaning. This process is described in Isaiah 28:9-13 (KJV).
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? ...For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; ...the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon percept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little;... YeshaYahuw. 28:9-13.
This is why this Ministry recommends only the Authorized King James Version of the Bible. Never use any other translation of the Bible for Bible Study, please. They are all CORRUPTED AND DESIGNED BY SATAN AND THE PAPACY TO DECEIVE AND MISLEAD! See Our Authorized Bible Vindicated , by B. G. Wilkinson and The Battle of the Bibles , by H. H. Meyers, both, Elohiym's mighty men of valor.
(THE HERMENEUTICS)
G. M. Hyde, Ed.: A Symposium on Biblical Hermeneutics. (Washington, D.C.
Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1979), Statement by Don Neufeld.
(See also Great Controversy page 599).
By this literal approach all foundations were laid for Adventism, the doctrines now held by the church, as well as its valid expositions on prophecy. This means that Dani'El 12 must also be subjected to this literal approach and guarded by this hermeneutic principle. In Dani'El 12 there is no prophetic symbolism - no image, no beasts, no horns, no crowns, no mountains, no stone, no winds, no eyes, no mouth, none of the prophetic symbolism otherwise used in Dani'El or Revelation.

Review and Herald, Vol. 2 , 9-25-83. Pr. 6.
The seven years began when the prophecy of Dani'El 4:16 was fulfilled in Dani'El 4:33.
"The same hour was the thing fulfilled." Dani'El 4:33.
"...there fell a voice from heaven, saying, to thee it is spoken ... seven times shall pass over thee." Dani'El 4:31,32. The seven years began with legislative action (a Decree or Law). "This matter is by the decree of the watchers ..." Dani'El 4:17.
It ended by a Judicial action also: "O king, this is the decree of the most High." Dani'El 4:24.
The 1260 day-year timeline began when the prophecy of Dani'El 7:25 was fulfilled in,
E. G. White, Great Controversy 442
E. G. White, 'Testimonies to Ministers' , p. 115.
"... The study of the Revelation directs the mind to the prophecies of Dani'El, and both present most important instruction, given of Elohiym to men, concerning events to take place at the CLOSE OF THE WORLD'S HISTORY"
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days . Dan 12:12 KJV
Tell us...what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
Then I Dani'El looked, and, behold, there stood other two [saints],.... And one said.... How long shall it be to the end?.... Dani'El 12:5,6. ... 0 my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
"And one said to the man clothed in linen.... How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?" In Dani'El 12:8, Dani'El asked, "... 0 my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?".
This "abomination of desolation" was shown to Dani'El in prophetic vision and given to him, as in all other prophetic Scripture, from "Yahuwshuwah HaMashiach, which Elohiym gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass ; and he sent and signified it by his Angel unto his servant John" [or Dani'El] Revelation 1:1. About 500 years later, it was Yahuwshuwah who again called attention to it in MattithYahuw 24:15. And it is this same Yahuwshuwah who identifies exactly who this abomination is in the parallel Scripture of Luke 21:20,21.
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Dani'El the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them... flee into the mountains"
MattithYahuw 24:15,16
"And when ye shall see Yerushalayim compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; ...."
When "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Dani'El the prophet" is set up (MattithYahuw 24:15), Yahuwshuwah's people are to pray that their flight from their persecutors will not be on the Sabbath day. Yahuwshuwah was referring to Dani'El 8:13 and 9:27. The little-horn power of Dani'El 8 represents both Pagan and Papal Rome. It first set up the "abomination of desolation" (MattithYahuw 24:15), or "the desolating sacrilege" (RSV) when the Roman armies threatened Yerushalayim (AD. 66-70). The context of Yahuwshuwah's statement indicates that a second fulfillment came in the Middle Ages. (See MattithYahuw 24:15-29.) Because MattithYahuw chapter 24 is using historical events as a type of end-time events, we know that just prior to the Second Advent "the abomination of desolation" once more will become a threat to the religious liberty of the people of Elohiym.
Let us lay aside all conjecture and lines of reasoning and begin with the words of Messiah! Permit the Bible to be its own expositor! Not until the Bible student gets this fundamental understanding is he ready to understand Dani'El 12! Enter it into the mental notebook. THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION WAS, IS, AND WILL BE ROME.
Historicists have consistently understood the "abomination of desolation" to refer to Rome. This has been the consistent view of the Protestant Reformation and Adventism. When would-be prophetic expositors leave this platform, darkness and confusion are the inevitable result. Without this understanding there can be no insight into the meaning of the three timelines of Dani'El 12. Dani'El, the prophet, saw the "abomination of desolation" to be:
ROME in its Papal phase in the persecutions of Natsarim (Natsarene). (538-1798 AD)
Desolation: "laying waste; ruin, destruction, havoc, ravage."
The prophet Dani'El saw three specific desolations in prophecy:
Dani'El 9:26, 27 The destruction of the temple and Yerushalayim 70 AD.
Dani'El 7:20, 21, 25; 8:9-13, 24; 11:31: The desolation or persecution of the Natsarim or Natsarene church in Europe which was called The Papal Supremacy (No.1) 538-1798 AD.
Dani'El 12:11; 12:7; 11:41-44 - Revelation 13:7 The desolation or persecution as described in Revelation 13 will be known as The Papal Supremacy (No. 2) coming in the Future.
...his deadly wound was healed : and ALL the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:3.
And it was given him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them [desolate them]: Revelation 13:7.
...and power was given him over ALL kindreds and tongues and nations. Revelation 13:7.
And ALL that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life.... Revelation 13:8.
...as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed [desolated] Revelation 13:15.
And from the time that the daily...shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Dani'El 12:11.
In the days of the Messiah, the abomination referred to Pagan Rome-the Roman Empire. It must be remembered that the Roman Empire was succeeded by Papal Rome. It is Papal Rome which fulfilled the prophecies of Dani'El 8 and 11in reference to the abomination of desolation from 538 to 1798. Therefore, any endtime application must refer to Papal Rome. It is Papal Rome which again fulfills the prophecy of Dani'El 12:11 in the future.
The abomination of desolation describes Papal Rome in its persecutions, past, present and future. It was Rome which desolated Yerushalayim in 70 AD., it was Papal Rome which desolated the saints for 1260 years (Dani'El 8) and it will be Papal Rome which will desolate-persecute Elohiym's people in the future as designated in Dani'El 12. Therefore, the term abomination of desolation is specifically, the Papacy involved in a persecution and described as a future threat in Dani'El 12.
E. G. White, Thoughts from the Mount of Blessings, 120.
He was repelled and for some unknown reason retreated."
SDA Bible Commentary Vol. 8, 560.
When the idolatrous standards of the Romans should be set up in the holy ground [holy place], which extended some furlongs outside the city walls, then the followers of Messiah were to find safety in flight.
E. G. White, 'Great Controversy', p. 26.
The Roman standard, equivalent of our flag, was the MARK or symbol of the authority of Rome. Pagan Rome was a union of religious and civil power. Pagan Rome was a union of sun worship and civil authority so that the standards bore on them the symbols of the sun and other things. Yahuwshuwah explained to His followers in MattithYahuw 24>that when they should see Rome place its MARK of authority, its symbol of sun worship on their holy Sabbath ground, they would know that it was time for them to flee from the city to the mountains. Not until we understand this significant circumstance are we ready to comprehend the second application to the endtime prophecies in the dual application of MattithYahuw 24: 15.
E. G. White 'Great Controversy' 25.
This endtime fulfillment is the greater or primary fulfillment of MattithYahuw 24:15. But the same warning that applied to the Jews will apply to Elohiym's people in the endtime.
MattithYahuw 24:15.
As the siege of Yerushalayim by the Roman armies was the signal for flight to Judean Natsarim (Natsarene), so the assumption of power on the part of our nation [the United States of America] in the decree enforcing the Papal sabbath will be a WARNING to us. It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.
Although many states in the United States have Sunday laws or "blue laws" on the books, the nation has never yet ventured to legislate a National Sunday Law. Other countries have local or even National Sunday Laws but the United States of America has not yet done so because the Constitution forbids it: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."
When ...our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution ...we may know, that :..THE END is near.
By virtue of this religious freedom and prosperity, the United States has been the headquarters for the remnant people who keep the commandments of Elohiym and the faith of Yahuwshuwah (Revelation 14:12). It has been the means by which they could take the gospel with its three Angels' messages to all the world over this last century.
This fact brings the United States of America into the focus of endtime prophecy. (Revelation 13:11). Prophecy focuses on Elohiym's people all the way through history. The Jews were Elohiym's people in the Old Testament and today it is Elohiym's people upon whom prophecy focuses in Revelation 13 and Dani'El 12!
As the Jews were the focus of the warning of MattithYahuw 24: 15, so again at the end of this world's history, it is the remnant people in the United States who shall also be warned by that same prophecy and its fulfillment as the sign or token for them to flee the desolation to come.
Therefore, a National Sunday Law in the United States of America is the primary endtime fulfillment of MattithYahuw 24:15 and it is the beginning of the endtime scenario timelines of Dani'El 12:7-12.
As the siege of Yerushalayim by the Roman armies was the signal for flight to the Judean Natsarim (Natsarene), so the assumption of power on the part of our nation in the decree enforcing the Papal sabbath will be a WARNING to us. It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.
E.G. White Ltr. 161, 1903.
...the assumption of power on the part of our nation in the decree enforcing the Papal sabbath."
E. G. White, Selected Messages Vol. 2, 373.
Apparently this national ruin follows so quickly after the NSL-USA that Yahuwshuwah urged and warned His people to act immediately to leave the large cities. No time is to be taken to dispose of goods and properties or to prepare for the new life in the country. It is then too late to make preparations. Many of Elohiym's people have already acted by taking their families to the country. Not one believing Natsarim or Natsarene perished in Yerushalayim and there is no need for any believing Natsarim or Natsarene to perish in the cities in the near future. Those who are still in the large cities, to save their lives, must then leave at once, by whatever medium of transportation they can get!
The book of Dani'El is unsealed in the Revelation to John, & carries us forward to the last scenes of this Earth's history.
The same events will be identified by cross-referencing their counterparts in MattithYahuw 24 also.
SPEAKING" OR "VOICES" "The 'Speaking' of a nation, is the action of its Legislative or Judicial Authorities."
No one who is not familiar with the work of the Spirit of Prophecy in Ellen White's writings, shall ever be able to make accurate sense of the wonderful book of Revelation and Dani'El!
You may try to apply it to prophecies you may have been familiar with in the past, especially fulfilled ones and see how easy those studies might have been had we realized this provision in the Spirit of Prophecy at the time. And so Scriptures remain unbreakable, "My people perish for lack of knowledge".
The summary of the issue will be the Sabbath/Sunday Controversy. Are you for or against the Sabbath or for or against the Sunday, as days of worship? But this is a simplified way of looking at the issue.
The main issue will be this: Who's authority do you bow to? Yahuwah's or Satan, represented by the Papacy? By whose Calendar are you choosing to decide your days for worship? Yahuwah's or Satan's?
(Exod 20:8 [KJV])
(Exod 20:10 [KJV])
But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of Yahuwah thy Elohiym: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:
Exod 20:8-11 (KJV)
And the deceit of the Gregorian Calendar had wholly fooled the world of Natsarenity that our work-a-day calendar, the Gregorian Calendar, has always been, and is the Biblical Calendar! It is not the Creators calendar. And unless we use the Creator's Calendar, we could never find HIS Sabbath!
The greatest scandal of course remains that the Divine Calendar is in the Bible in plain view but deception completely distracted the Saints from it! But truth may take time to triumph, but it always does. It has once again. All the efforts of the Papacy to conceal this wickedness could not suffice to keep it hidden forever. It is now a woeful failure. The challenge now beloved is, would you join that failure or join Yahuwah's victory?
As a consequence of some global catastrophes and circumstances, the Papacy shall begin to extol the Sunday and call the world to more dedication and worship on Sundays only, as their interpretation of those coming catastrophic events will be that they are the direct result of the desecration of Sunday!
The USA who would have borne the greater pain of those global catastrophes, would join forces with the Papacy to enforce the reverence of 'Sunday' in a deceived attempt to avert further disasters. Prophecy asserts that the beginning of the end of time will be marked by the formation of the 'Image of the Beast'. America will become the Image of the Beast (the Papacy), when her legislative (Civil) power combines with her religious authorities to enforce a religious requirement!
Just as the Beast is a fusion of Religious and Civil power seated at the Vatican city-state, so shall the US become its Image.
The lamb-horned beast(USA), 'spake as a dragon' as the US Congress Legislates a National Sunday Law, in formation of the Image of the Beast (Papacy). The National Sunday Law (NSL) fulfills MattithYahuw 24:15.
Now the 'Abomination of Desolation - Sunday' is standing on Sabbath 'holy ground'.
This is the Warning.
The One thousand, three hundred and thirty-five-day (1335-day) Persecution in America and some parts of the world begin at once.
Elohiym's people must endure and wait to the end of 1335 days for deliverance from the persecution.
Isaiah 25:9 [TS98]
The Spiritual fall of Babylon is complete. Babylon at this point has mushroomed in size to encompass everybody in the world, religious or not, who is not at that time a part of the 'giving of the Loud Cry' of the 4th Angel (Revelation18:2-4) and indeed the entire messages of the three Angels of Revelation chapter 14.
Elohiym's people begin giving the 'Loud Cry' of the 'Third & Fourth Angels' messages. The fourth Angel's message is particularly poignant and urgent:,
And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her Plagues.
(Rev 18:4 [TS98])
Persecution Mounts, and yet huge populations abandon their former loyalties and join the 144,000, the 'Loud-Criers'. (Revelation 13:15-17).
And it shall come to pass, [that] from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Yahuwah
YeshaYahuw 66: 18 - 23 [KJV]
And the 7th Angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great 'VOICE' out of the Temple in Heaven, from the Throne saying, 'it is done'"
This is the Voice of Elohiym.
JUDICIAL ACTION
As the saints left the cities and villages, they were pursued by the wicked, who sought to slay them. But the swords that were raised to kill Elohiym's people broke and fell as powerless as a straw. Angels of Elohiym shielded the Saints. As they cried day and night for deliverance, their cry came up before the Yahuwah."
E. G. White, Early Writings , 284.2
E. G. White, Early Writing 285.1
Let the song be to you as in a night set apart for a festival, and gladness of heart as he who is going with a flute, to come into the mountain of יהוה, to the Rock of Yisra'ĕl.
And יהוה shall cause His excellent voice to be heard, and show the coming down of His arm, with raging wrath and the flame of a consuming fire, with scattering, downpour and hailstones."
With shouts of triumph, jeering, and imprecation, throngs of evil men are about to rush upon their prey, when, lo, a dense blackness, deeper than the darkness of the night, falls upon the earth. Then a rainbow, shining with the glory from the throne of Elohiym, spans the heavens and seems to encircle each praying company. The angry multitudes are suddenly arrested. Their mocking cries die away. The objects of their murderous rage are forgotten. With fearful forebodings they gaze upon the symbol of Elohiym's covenant and long to be shielded from its overpowering brightness."
By the people of Elohiym a voice, clear and melodious, is heard, saying, "Look up," and lifting their eyes to the heavens, they behold the bow of promise. The black, angry clouds that covered the firmament are parted, and like Stephen they look up steadfastly into heaven and see the glory of Elohiym and the Son of man seated upon His throne. In His divine form they discern the marks of His humiliation; and from His lips they hear the request presented before His Father and the holy Angels: "I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am." John 17:24. Again a voice, musical and triumphant, is heard, saying: "They come! they come! holy, harmless, and undefiled. They have kept the word of My patience; they shall walk among the Angels;" and the pale, quivering lips of those who have held fast their faith utter a shout of victory."
It is at midnight that Elohiym manifests His power for the deliverance of His people. The sun appears, shining in its strength. Signs and wonders follow in quick succession. The wicked look with terror and amazement upon the scene, while the righteous behold with solemn joy the tokens of their deliverance. Everything in nature seems turned out of its course. The streams cease to flow. Dark, heavy clouds come up and clash against each other. In the midst of the angry heavens is one clear space of indescribable glory, whence comes the voice of Elohiym like the sound of many waters, saying: "It is done."
Graves are opened, and "many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth. . . awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." Dani'El 12:2. All who have died in the faith of the Third Angel's message come forth from the tomb glorified, to hear Elohiym's covenant of peace with those who have kept His law. "They also which pierced Him" (Revelation 1:7), those that mocked and derided Messiah's dying agonies, and the most violent opposers of His truth and His people, are raised to behold Him in His glory and to see the honor placed upon the loyal and obedient."
The BLESSING is the pronouncement of the EVERLASTING COVENANT.
The voice of Elohiym is heard from heaven, declaring the day and hour of Yahuwshuwah's coming, and delivering the everlasting covenant to His people. Like peals of loudest thunder His words roll through the earth. The Yisra'El of Elohiym stand listening, with their eyes fixed upward. Their countenances are lighted up with His glory, and shine as did the face of Moshe when he came down from Sinai. The wicked cannot look upon them. And when the blessing is pronounced on those who have honored Elohiym by keeping His Sabbath holy, there is a mighty shout of victory.
Soon there appears in the east a small black cloud, about half the size of a man's hand. It is the cloud which surrounds the Saviour and which seems in the distance to be shrouded in darkness. The people of Elohiym know this to be the sign of the Son of man. In solemn silence they gaze upon it as it draws nearer the Earth, becoming lighter and more glorious, until it is a great white cloud, its base a glory like consuming fire, and above it the rainbow of the covenant. Yahuwshuwah rides forth as a mighty conqueror.
E. G. White, 'Great Controversy' , 640.3
This is a judicial declaration by the 'voice of Elohiym.' The details of the events that occur at the 'Voice of Elohiym' are seen in E. G. White's Early Writings , 285-286; Great Controversy , 636-640.
The Voice terminates the persecution of Elohiym's Children exactly 1335 days from the day that the NSL-USA goes into effect.

FITZGERALD, Lord Robert Stephen (1765-1833).
b. 15 Jan. 1765, 6th s. of James, 1st Duke of Leinster [I], and bro. of Lords Charles James Fitzgerald* and Henry Fitzgerald*. educ. privately by William Ogilvie and Dr Thompson; Trinity, Dublin 1782. m. 22 July 1792, Sophia Charlotte, da. of Commodore Charles Feilding, RN, 3s. 6da.
Sec. of embassy, France 1789-91, minister plenip. ad interim 1789-90; minister plenip. to Switzerland 1792-5; envoy extraordinary to Denmark 1796-9; minister plenip. to Portugal 1802-6.
Gov. and custos rot. co. Kildare 1804.
Fitzgerald, like his brother Charles and unlike the rest of his family, but with the encouragement of his relative the Duke of Richmond, was an admirer of Pitt.1 On 19 Nov. 1795, after several years' undistinguished diplomatic service in Paris and Bern,2 he applied to the minister to be secretary to the lord lieutenant, as a 'native of Ireland, and in possession of a name which has been long favoured with a degree of popularity in that country'.3 Had he been awarded the post, a situation of tragic irony would have arisen in 1798 when his brother Edward joined the rebels and paid for it with his life. Instead, Lord Robert proceeded to Copenhagen, bound for diplomacy again, and was not even able to see his family in their hour of distress.4
On his return he stepped into a power vacuum created by his brother the Duke of Leinster's opposition to the Union. Rather than contest county Kildare against a friend of government, Leinster agreed to Lord Robert's offering, as a friend of the Union and of ministers, thus, as Lord Grenville observed, securing his family interest. Leinster subsequently admitted that Lord Robert was 'the best locum tenens' for his son. Informing Pitt of this scheme, 27 June 1800, Fitzgerald added that his brother made but one condition, 'that of vacating the seat at any time that a change of ministers and measures may present him with an opportunity of more effectually supporting those with whom he has chiefly been in the custom of acting'. Castlereagh welcomed the scheme, declaring that 'there could not be a more desirable candidate'. In October 1801 Fitzgerald applied to the Addington ministry for support in accordance with this plan, taking care to applaud the peace preliminaries, and was promised it and duly elected.5
A few weeks later he became minister to Portugal; he had applied for this unsuccessfully in July 1800, but had been earmarked for it by January 1802. In the preceding March, on receipt of a civil list pension of £800 a year, he had complained to Pitt that it was inadequate for his services and asked him to recommend him for a rise, or for promotion in the foreign line. At that time he was still a 'warm admirer and advocate' of the outgoing Pitt administration. He was unable to display his attitude, professedly favourable, to its successor, being abroad from October 1802, when he appealed to Addington to upgrade him to an ambassador to meet his expenses. In fact, he took his seat during a short period of leave, 15 June 1805.6
He had not cared for his mission, and as early as March 1803 appealed to Wickham to find him an Irish place compatible with Parliament. On Pitt's return to power he had asked that minister for his deceased brother's Irish ribbon, 12 Dec. 1804, but had to resign himself to the fact that it was never given to a commoner. In December 1805, being in financial difficulties, he applied for leave of absence, to live in Ireland for a year.7 On his return home on long leave for the purpose in May 1806, he supported the Grenville administration, without making any mark in Parliament, and they awarded him a pension of £1,700 p.a. and supported his re-election in 1806.8 He did not attend the House in January 1807, though he promised to do so in an emergency; nor, having obtained leave of absence, did he vote with ministers after their dismissal in April. He then made way for his brother Henry in the county, doubtless to facilitate his return to Lisbon. Canning, the new Foreign secretary, after extending Fitzgerald's leave 'beyond all precedent ... more than I would have ventured to do for any private friend of my own, or any political friend of mine', invited him to resume his post in the summer of 1807. The French invasion of Portugal prevented it and Fitzgerald was disappointed in his hope, later that year, of being sent to Brazil. Canning professed willingness to employ him and raised his pension to £2,000, but he never received another posting.9 He died at Nice, 2 Jan. 1833.10

What can the Baltimore Ravens expect out of Ray Rice this season?
The seventh-year running back is coming off a season in which he battled hip and leg injuries and averaged a career-worst 3.1 yards per carry. Even worse was his offseason, which included an ugly arrest for assaulting his then-girlfriend.
Rice, 27, entered a pretrial intervention program to avoid prosecution for that incident, and spent the months after the season getting back into the type of shape that once made him one of the most versatile backs in the game. He's down 20 pounds from his bulky 2013 playing weight.
"He's definitely in good shape," quarterback Joe Flacco said at Ravens minicamp in June, according to The Baltimore Sun. "I don't know if he's any quicker or anything like that; you'll have to ask him. I can say he definitely looks good and he's running the ball well. Our guys are creating some room out there even with no pads on.
"We're creating some room out there and some holes, and sometimes that's tough to do in these kinds of practices. But I think we've looked really good and (Rice) has done a great job of pressing, cutting, getting in there and having the explosion afterward. He's shown a lot."
The only thing left standing in Rice's way of a proper comeback year is the NFL. Rice is a strong candidate for suspension in relation to his arrest. If Rice misses time, the running game falls Bernard Pierce, who's a question mark himself as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" ranked the best (and worst) quarterbacks in the NFL today.

Therapy Recycle + Exorcise: "The era of the passive consumer is dead"
October 21, 2016 Words by natalielola
Therapy Recycle + Exorcise is a sustainable fashion brand run by sisters Mariangeles and Paula Aguirre. They collect vintage pieces from flea markets and charity shops and turn them into a whole new collection. You might have seen them at some markets and fairs in Berlin, and most recently at the REUSE:it show at the Berlin Alternative Fashion Week (BAFW). Lola Who sat down with the sister duo to talk about their experience at the BAFW, what they want to change in the fashion industry and the differences between Berlin and Argentina.
Lola Who: This October was your third time taking part in the Berlin Alternative Fashion Week. How did the latest edition differ from the previous ones?
Mariangeles: The March BAFW was great, there was a lot of media coverage. This time, the reaction is a bit slower, but we got a lot of comments and positive feedback. When you sell things at the market, you get the chance to talk to people. Many came up to us and said: "I saw your last show and this was even better." It was great to hear that our show was powerful and full of energy. It was a "real show" in comparison to standard fashion shows with only models. And it was fun for everyone involved, which is what we want to do with Therapy. We want to have fun.
Lola Who: You originally started making and re-making clothes for yourselves. When and how did this evolve into starting a brand?
Mariangeles: We come from a small city in Argentina where there were never many things available in the shops, especially back in the 90s. Buying stuff was also very expensive, that's why people were making things themselves. We always had a sewing machine at home. Our grandmother was a professional sewer, and she used to make clothes for us. Our third sister was also sewing her own clothes—it's something that has always been present in the family. Paula studied fashion design and although my studies were not related to fashion, I was always doing things with my hands too. I had a jewelry brand when I was at university and Paula was making accessories and clothing. We were experimenting a lot, with plastic and bright colours… It was very alternative.
In 2004 I moved to Germany and it took me years to settle in and learn the language, but at some point, I felt the need to do something creative. In 2012, I had a bit of a crisis after having turned thirty; I had questions in my mind regarding my identity as an immigrant in Germany and as a person in a broader sense. All these years I've been collecting vintage pieces that I found at flea markets because I didn't like the things that I saw in shops. But I didn't want to simply re-sell what I collected, I don't think that's fun. So it all came together when I started sewing again, adding things or changing something on the clothes I already owned, and selling those things in markets. Then, I asked Paula to make a logo and she made the Therapy logo that we're still using—the one with the cross. What we're doing is a kind of therapy—it's a creative therapy. Through that I am also healing myself in a way, exorcising everything bad in my life by turning into something new and better. Therefore: Therapy Recycle + Exorcise.
Paula: My sister told me about the idea through Skype after I did the logo, and I agreed that we should do it together. Ten years earlier, we were running these two brands in Cordoba, and it was a lot of fun, it was very creative. And we love working together. When Mariangeles came to Argentina in the summer she brought bags full of Therapy things she had made—and she sold everything. People seemed to like it because it was something different, a new idea, nobody was doing that in Argentina. We didn't know what was gonna happen, but we did it. We can work separately, split between Berlin and Argentina, and we work together when Mariangeles comes here. It was a natural process.
Lola Who: There are so many positive things about using and reusing clothes the way you guys do. What do you think is stopping people from thinking and acting the same? Is it them being lazy, the time pressure, lack of interest, or maybe lack of information?
Mariangeles: In Argentina in the 90s, it was not so easy to buy stuff. Things have changed, and now you can have everything quickly and for cheap. People think: "Finally, I can go and buy things," they don't think that buying is a bad thing. I understand their point of view; imagine working a lot and not being able to buy things, that's not a nice way of living. It's fair that now people can buy what they want for the money they've earned, but at the same time, I think brands can be abusing. Recently I've noticed that people have more information and that's a good thing, that's the first step. Once you have information, you can start analyzing things and be more critical. At some point, you need to make a decision whether you want to wear something that was produced in poor working conditions, or even by children, because if you do you are also supporting the system that allows this. Personally, I know I would feel awful if I wore something cheap from a discount brand. I would feel the contradiction and it would feel as if I was lying to myself. But I also understand that people don't think about it that way.
Paula: You cannot talk about the negative things regarding fast fashion all the time. With our project, we're coming from the positive side. We're trying to show that it's possible to do things differently instead of telling people that fast fashion is bad and making them feel guilty. If you have a shirt and you don't like the buttons, just change the buttons. Try to see if you can do something out of it before you throw it away and buy a new item. That's the first step, but people need to realize that, they have to see themselves doing it. It's not impossible, it's not difficult, you just need to try… (laughs).
Lola Who: Can you tell me about an event or action you organized to encourage people to try it for themselves?
Mariangeles: The most recent one was at the Bread & Butter trend show. It was more of a performance than a fashion show, we had eight models wearing what we had made from old jeans. One of the outfits was still in progress and we finished it there, live on-site. We tried to show people how to do it themselves. The concept of the performance was to give the public some ideas about what they can do with denim. Normally, you present the finished product, but this was an opportunity to show the process. The bigger brands at Bread & Butter were asking the people to put their hands on things, to interact and be active with fashion. As if they were trying to say, the era of the passive consumer is dead, you can now take part in the process. For example, you can decide what colour you want your jeans and you can influence the final design. We used to do workshops as well, maybe we'll do some next year, but that's only if someone organizes the event and invites us! It would be too much to organize everything ourselves…
Lola Who: How did your style develop under the influence of the vintage pieces?
Mariangeles: The brand started as a sort of research about my own identity. Looking at pictures of myself now, I see that I used to dress differently. I was never conservative and I always liked to experiment. But with Therapy, I became more aware of how strong is the power of what you communicate through the clothes you wear.
Paula: Since we started our own label Therapy, I became more conscious, I think about what I'm wearing and why I'm wearing it. It's a process. When I go shopping, I see that all the brands are doing the same things. Same colours, same patterns, same style of jeans, etc. I hate it. I think, "come on, people, you have to find your own identity."
Lola Who: As a fashion brand, you are necessarily a part of the fashion industry, yet at the same time, with your concept you are fighting against it. What is the position of sustainable fashion brands within fashion industry?Paula: I don't hate fashion, I like fashion. We are not against fashion, we are against the processes that contaminate the fashion industry, against doing things the wrong way. To me, fashion is a means of self-expression, a way of communication, a form of art. I admire a lot of designers; Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, they came up with amazing things. But what we are against, is making fashion the wrong way.
Mariangeles: I think Vivienne Westwood is a good example of how you can change things from within the industry. I think many brands are now realizing that if they don't start doing things the right way, they are going to stay behind. Fashion is the second most polluting industry in the world, you cannot keep concentrating on the profit and not consider the future of the planet at all. But everything is more transparent now, people ask for more information. I believe things are changing for the better. I'm positive.
Lola Who: What's your plan for the nearest future?
Mariangeles: The next big thing in our calendar is the Berlin Fashion Week happening in mid-January. Next year, we want to focus on new stuff. We don't want to keep repeating ourselves, we're always looking for new challenges.
Paula: At the fashion week in Argentina there's no space for brands like Therapy. They focus on big brands and well-known designers. Instead, I am concentrating on production, sales, and running our two stores here. Now there is a new store asking to sell our brand, so things are happening! When Mariangeles comes to Argentina during winter in Berlin, and when I go to Berlin during the winter in Argentina, we do things together, such as showrooms and things that are fun. We don't want to see Therapy as work, even though it's a lot of work—it has to be fun!

A car accident can be a traumatic event that leaves you and anyone else involved in the crash emotionally and physically scarred. However, do you need a lawyer after your crash? That depends on a variety of factors such as whether the person who caused the crash is willing to cooperate and settle the case in a reasonable manner.
Is the Insurance Company Offering a Settlement Right Away?
If the insurance company offers you a settlement within hours or days of your accident, you should be wary of accepting it. The offer may only include payment for medical bills incurred or a token amount for lost wages. However, you may not know the full extent of your injuries for days or weeks after the accident, which means that you could have to go back for treatment that may not be covered by your policy or by settlement funds. Therefore, you may want to consider calling an attorney to make sure that the settlement is truly in your best interests.
Is the Insurance Company Not Working With You at All?
In some cases, your insurance company may decide that it isn't going to work with you at all to help settle your case. Your coverage provider may say that you aren't covered or that you may have contributed to the accident. It is also possible that your insurance company simply doesn't want to pay to cover your damages and is trying to stall. At that point, you should certainly call an attorney to make sure that you are properly represented and that your rights are respected.
Are Other Parties Not Working With You In Good Faith?
The person who hit you may not be in the mood to negotiate a settlement in good faith. This isn't uncommon as he or she may not want to admit guilt and lose the ability to limit his or her overall liability. In some cases, the insurance company for the person who hit you may not want to pay damages and won't drop the case or engage in settlement talks.
If this happens to you, it is in your best interest to call an attorney right away. You shouldn't have to both worry about how you will recover from your injuries and work with someone who isn't going to help you pay for your medical bills and other costs. In some cases, you may not have the luxury of waiting for other parties to come to the negotiating table, and having an attorney present may compel everyone to meet and create a reasonable agreement in a timely manner.
A car accident doesn't always result in a totaled car and a driver or passengers with significant injuries. If you were involved in a minor crash that only resulted in minor medical bills or minor damage to your car, you may not need an attorney to settle your case. Instead, it may be easier to go to small claims court or go through mediation to come to an agreement that will make you whole again.
Do You Have a Good Understanding of the Law?
It is possible to represent yourself in a personal injury case following a car crash. However, you will need to have a good understanding of the law or the ability to learn what the law says about your case. There may be multiple motions to file as well as obscure rules that could lead to your case being dismissed. It is important to know that you may have a limited amount of time in which you are allowed to file your case.
Waiting until after the statute of limitations has passed may make it harder to get your case heard or limit the amount that you may be able to collect. In the event that you have any qualms about representing yourself, it may be easier to have an attorney represent you. Typically, legal fees are included in any settlement that you receive from the person who caused the crash.
If you are involved in a car crash, the first thing you should do is make sure that you and anyone else in the accident are alright. Afterward, you may want to consult with an attorney to determine your rights and what damages you may be able to collect. After the consultation, it may be easier to make an educated decision about how to proceed with your case.

Critérium du Dauphiné 2018 – Stage 1 Preview
4 years ago pmpalermo
By David Hunter
Valence – Saint Just Saint Rambert 179km
After the opening prologue, the real racing can now begin.
This is no easy opening stage. The riders will climb from the gun, with 8.5km at 4.5%. After the KOM point, the road continues to rise until the top of Col des Fans. A descent follows, but then the road kicks up again. This time we have 5.1km at 4.6%, which is immediately followed by 6km at 5%. So, it's roughly 11km at 4.8%.
After this point, the race can settle down. Cote de Sainte-Agreve crests after 54km, which means we still have 125km remaining. We are a long way from home! The next 100km is punctuated by lots of little lumps, but nothing that will worry the bunch. We then enter the finishing town and complete two laps of the closing circuit, which features two little bumps, one of which is categorised. Cote du Barrage de Grangent is crested with just 4km remaining and provides a great opportunity for a late attack.
The closing kilometres are on a normal two lane road. The climb has a switchback which could be used to attack, but the descent off the climb doesn't contain many corners, meaning the chasers will be able to see their prey. The final 500m rises gently to the finishing line.
There is a small chance of rain throughout the stage, but it looks likely that the riders will miss it and stay dry. The wind is light and not an issue.
The stage has 2836m of climbing, which would normally be a test for sprinters, but we don't have many competing in the race. Falling into that category are Pascal Ackermann, Fabio Jakobsen, Phil Bauhaus and Bryan Coquard. That leaves us thin on the ground for teams ready to chase. Of those four, Bauhaus is the worst climber and I think he'll be concerned about nearly 3000m of ascent.
Moving away from sprinters, we do have a number of quick men in the race. The likes of Daryl Impey, Jay McCarthy, Julian Alaphilippe, Heinrich Haussler, Jens Keukeleire, Julien Simon, Jhonatan Restrepo and Edvald Boasson Hagen will all smell a chance to take a world tour win.
The breakaway hunters will sense an opportunity. With lots of climbing in the opening 54km, the bunch will likely set a steady pace. This will allow the break to establish a good lead, but going against them is that Team Sky are in control of the yellow jersey. When they lead a race, they never want to simply gift leadership to another team. Team Sky have the power to keep the break on a short leash and not allow them to take the stage, but will their pace put some of the sprinters into difficulty?
If I was a breakaway rider, I would't bother wasting energy in this stage, I just can't see it sticking. Whilst a long range attack is unlikely to work, attacking on the final climb is a tactic that could have success.
Fabio Jakobsen – the young QuickStep rider has already taken three wins in his first season with the Wolfpack, that's been quite a start. He knows this stage is a wonderful opportunity for him to take his first world tour win, but he needs to survive the climbs. At just 21 years of age, it could be a little too hard for him.
Bryan Coquard – the little Frenchman is slowly growing into this season. He is a rider who can handle the climbs and will fancy his chances of taking the win. Going against him is the strength of his team, they do look poor compared to the other squads in this race. No way Vital Concept can deliver the sprint, they'll need help from others.
Phil Bauhaus – not known as a sprinter who can survive the climbs, I do have my concerns about him being around at the finish. If he is, he's the fastest rider in the peloton and should easily take the win.
Jay McCarthy – he's already taken a win from a reduced bunch in Itzulia, he even beat Michael Matthews on that occasion. Bora know that he will prefer a tough day in the saddle and that would help to slow down the sprinters, if any survive to the end. I'm a big fan of McCarthy and think that he has what it takes to be one of the very best in the sport.
Daryl Impey – looked strong in the prologue, a good indication of his current form. He'll be a little disappointed to be more than 10 seconds behind yellow, making it almost impossible for him to move into that jersey. Mitchelton-Scott are enjoying a brilliant season and they have the riders capable of hurting the sprinters and setting up a reduced sprint. Impey would be one of the favourites, if the three sprinters have been dropped.
Jens Keukeleire – the form pick. Won the Belgium Tour last weekend and his 8th place in the prologue was an outstanding ride. I'll put in into perspective for you, it's the first time he's finished in the top 20 in a world tour TT stage. The Belgian has a fast sprint from a reduced bunch, but he is also a rider who could attack near the end of the stage. As he is just 9 seconds behind the race lead, a stage win would probably see him move into the yellow jersey. There's some extra motivation for him!
Michal Kwiatkowski – when he is in form, he can win any stage of any race. Today's ride was stunning and he'll look forward to making this stage tough for the sprinters. He is as fast as his rivals in a reduced sprint and it wouldn't surprise me to see him taking another win.
Michael Valgren – the late attack option. After a stunning classics campaign, the big Dane arrives after a spell on Mount Teide. He has the speed required to launch a big attack on the final climb and hold off the chasing bunch, but it certainly won't be easy.
Prediction Time
I like Coquard for this stage, but his team worry me. The amount of climbing in the stage will probably make it a little too tough for Bauhaus and Jakobsen, but can Coquard take advantage? Instead, I'll go with a safe pick. Sticking with form, I'll say that Jens Keukeleire will take the win and the yellow jersey.

If you're going to eat out for dinner, tonight's the night to do it!
Ladies (and guys who are responsible for making dinner for their families every night,) do you ever have one of those days where get home from work and you know that making dinner just isn't happening? You had three meetings, people kept coming to your desk and disrupting your focus, you didn't get nearly as much done as you thought you would...it was a long day. You're plain exhausted. You feel bad, but the family has to eat out tonight.
Well, tonight is a night where you can do that guilt free in Downtown Boise. By eating out somewhere on 8th Street or Beyond, you're being a good neighbor and are making a donation to the refugee families coping with the aftermath of the tragic stabbing at the Wiley Street Station Apartments a few weeks ago.
Juniper on 8th Street and the International Rescue Committee (which has been coordinating a great deal of fundraising for the families) reached out to over a dozen restaurants in Downtown Boise who have agreed to donate a portion of their sales on Thursday, July 12 to the victims.
According to the Facebook event page for the Night of Giving, this evening us really about raising a glass to building and supporting a community that sticks together and refuses to let hate have the last word in a community that we're so proud of.

Urban Outfitters brand president steps down
Philadelphia-based Urban Outfitters, Inc. announced on Friday that Francis Pierrel, president, Urban Outfitters Group, has left the company.
Urban Outfitters brand president steps down. - Urban Outfitters
"We appreciate the contributions he made during his tenure and wish him well in his future endeavors," the company said in a news statement.
Pierrel joined the company less than a year ago from Club Monaco, where he served as chief executive officer. As president, he was tasked with overseeing the brand in North America and reported directly to Sheila Harrington, global chief executive officer of Urban Outfitters and the Free People Group.
He is credited for having extensive omni-channel retailing and wholesale experience, having worked previously as president of stores and e-commerce for Ralph Lauren in North America, as well as holding senior roles at Lacoste and Diesel across the U.S. and Europe.
"I am pleased to welcome Francis to our company and the Urban Outfitters brand," said Richard Hayne, chief executive officer of Urban Outfitters, Inc, at the time of his appointment, back in February.
"He is a seasoned omni-channel retail executive with deep experience in managing iconic brands across all channels - e-commerce, stores, and wholesale. We believe his strong leadership will greatly benefit the Urban Outfitters brand."
Last month, Urban Outfitters, Inc. announced revenues for the third quarter increased by almost 4%, fueled by strong comparable sales at the apparel company's Anthropologie and Free People brands.
By brand, comparable retail sales decreased 9% at Urban Outfitters, however, while wholesale sales for the brand climbed 6%.

My research is focused on larval photoreceptor cell evolution taking as model organism the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, an animal to compare with key representatives of both Echinodermata and Hemicordata clades. Central issues of my work concern opsin-expressing cells evolution inside these groups contextualized within the non-canonical nervous system of Ambulacraria. The approach comprises interspecific comparisons on molecular, morphological and functional levels. This combined knowledge will allow us to shed light into the evolutionary history of Deuterostomia vision.
Since I was a child I was impressed with the sea life, a passion encouraged by the professors of zoology and genetics from the University Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) where I graduated in Biology in 2013. Contemporaneously to the obtaining of my bachelor, I reinforced my studies by taking different courses mainly at Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia), Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" (Italy) and Washington State University (USA).
Currently I am a PhD candidate of the Open University of London (UK) working at Dr. Arnone's laboratory (Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Italy; www.tinyurl.com/arnone-lab).
After that, I would like to work in the field of Evolutionary and Developmental Biology, specially in the keystone topics of bauplan and complex life cycle evolution.


This is an excerpt from the Tripos examination in Cambridge University. I like to be with all different types of people.
Whether you prefer administering online or via traditional paper-pencil, we have a mode of administration to suit your needs. The school year pupils are in is not taken into consideration. In small countries like Iceland and Luxembourgwhere there are fewer than 5, students per year, an entire age cohort is tested.
Depending on the rules that are used, it could mean that the student as Assignment assessment and achievement test that body of knowledge exceeding well and is ready to progress to the next gaps and requires additional instruction. The other criteria in this case may include the applicant's grades from high school, extracurricular activities, personal statement, and letters of recommendations.
It is important to consider construct relevance when creating assessments. This approach was employed to find out the relationship between the variables of the study.
An alternate Comprehensive Language subtest Form D replicates the writing process as closely as possible in a testing situation. Constructs are the knowledge, skills or abilities being measured by an assessment. Dollop enunciated that: Completed template with all parts completed, namely: A locally developed test may also cause disagreement among faculty who emphasize different areas of learning, which again prevents the test from being completely accepted http: I am always totally honest with myself.

Often the methods and materials used in assessments require additional skills and understanding. Preview for Parents The Preview for Parents outlines the purpose of Stanford 10 and explains how parents can help their children prepare.
Reducing learning barriers is of vital importance in postsecondary settings as learners arrive in colleges and universities with a diverse set of experiences; what may be a preferred learning mode for one individual may be an obstacle for another.
Influenced by the ancient Chinese Imperial Examination, the Northcote—Trevelyan Report of made four principal recommendations: Given their role in decision-making, formal assessments should be held to higher standards of reliability and validity than informal assessments.
In sum, greater attention must be paid to issues of learner variability in the design of assessments. Policy-makers in most participating countries see PISA as an important indicator of system performance; PISA reports can define policy problems and set the agenda for national policy debate; policymakers seem to accept PISA as a valid and reliable instrument for internationally benchmarking system performance and changes over time; most countries—irrespective of whether they performed above, at, or below the average PISA score—have begun policy reforms in response to PISA reports.
Using numbers and numerical symbols is easy for me. You also can drill down to individual tests and analyze performance on diagnostic skill clusters and use the information to inform instruction. When their achievement is assessed, are they sufficiently but not overly, challenged?
I enjoy caring for my house plants. Accordingly, it is important that, having planned activities that will provide opportunities for learning, teachers are able to assess to what degree learning has actually occurred, before moving pupils on to the next stage in r understanding.
Statement of the Problem. Some educators believe multiple-choice test penalize a student who expert knowledge of a subject. It is based on the principle that pupils will improve most if they understand the aim of their learning, where they are in relation to this aim and how they can achieve them.
Therefore, evaluation of students learning is a very important component in course design and requires a lot of careful thought in planning Wisped, n.
I enjoy new or unique social situations. Write exercises, write papers, solve problems, and make oral presentations. Product assessment focuses on evaluating the result or outcome of a process. Such meta-analysis is not endorsed by the OECD, although official summaries sometimes use scores from a testing cycle's principal domain as a proxy for overall student ability.
Minimizing construct-irrelevant factors helps to focus in on where students are actually struggling with content, skills, or abilities that the assessment is meant to measure. Assessments are often designed to gather student data that will yield information about accountability, student progress, and instruction.
In the Listening Vocabulary section, students demonstrate recognition of the common meanings of spoken words encountered in various types of activities.
I feel safe when I am with strangers. Only students at school are tested, not home-schoolers.Formative vs. Summative Assessment.
Formative assessment is designed to assist the learning process by providing feedback to the learner, which can be used to identify strengths and weakness and hence improve future performance.

The companies plan to be the first to propose a Web standard and a new initiative next week that will serve as a giant online Yellow Pages for companies looking to conduct business online, sources say.
IBM, Microsoft and Ariba plan to be the first to propose a Web standard and a new initiative next week that will serve as a giant online Yellow Pages for companies looking to conduct business online, sources said.
The three companies--and as many as 10 other technology firms that may join the effort in the coming weeks--will propose a new Net standard and initiative that will allow businesses to register in an online database. The database, maintained by the three companies, will help companies advertise their services and find each other so they can conduct transactions over the Web, a source familiar with the announcement said.
Meta Group says the companies are proposing to develop formats, protocols and conventions necessary to maintain an online database that will help to bring companies to the Net.
Representatives of Ariba, IBM and Microsoft declined to comment. The companies plan to give details of their announcement in a press conference Wednesday in San Francisco.
With the announcement, the three technology giants will attempt to outpace competing efforts to establish online business directories.
"Anybody in business e-commerce is trying to build a business services directory, like Commerce One and WebMethods," said Forrester Research analyst Ted Schadler. "There's a whole slew of companies, but what (Ariba, IBM and Microsoft) are doing is more robust" because of their collective market clout.
Ariba, based in Mountain View, Calif., makes software that lets companies buy and sell goods online. It competes in the fast-growing market against rivals including Commerce One, Oracle, SAP and other software and professional services companies that have recently jumped into the business-to-business market.
The proposed standard, called Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI), will allow businesses to describe the type of services they offer and will allow those services to be located by other businesses via the online directory.
Businesses currently can list themselves in Web search engines, or they can join online marketplaces for specific industries, to conduct transactions.
The forthcoming directory from Ariba, IBM and Microsoft will be an online marketplace larger in scope than previous attempts to list businesses online. It will not be limited to a specific industry and will list companies participating in any business, sources said. Businesses would be required to register themselves but could then be found automatically by potential customers.
The directory "will open new opportunities for businesses. Right now, you're required to promote yourself, to make yourself known," one source said.
The standard is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language), a Web standard for data exchange that is rapidly becoming the preferred language of online business.
A host of e-commerce standards based on XML have appeared in the past year. Most, however, are aimed at defining a common language for specific industries and the products that businesses are selling. For instance, the travel industry might use XML to define the data structure for travel, destination, restrictions and pricing models. RosettaNet, Oasis and Microsoft are forging ahead on that front.
IBM, Microsoft and Ariba plan to release the first version of the proposed standard and eventually submit it to an industry standards organization, the source said. Though the specific standards organization has not been disclosed, the XML specification is maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium.
"This really represents the maturation of the business Internet," Schadler said. "The Internet was created for communications, not for transactions or the discovery of corporate entities or anything that smacks of business.
"This consortium is trying to do something dramatically more aligned with the needs of businesses, and it's a powerful signal of things to come."
But it's too soon to know whether this effort or other potential competing efforts will win out, Schadler said.
The announcement next week stems from a recent collaboration between Microsoft and IBM to create potential Web standards aimed at simplifying the delivery of each company's future software fine-tuned for the Web.
The two tech giants are fierce competitors in the race to build Web-based services. Microsoft recently announced its Microsoft.Net strategy to Web-enable its entire product line and move the bulk of its business to the Web. IBM hopes to unite its multiple hardware systems through integration software that will make its products more attractive to buyers setting up e-commerce sites and other Web-based services.
Microsoft and IBM previously worked on a proposed Net standard called Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) that allows businesses to link different computing systems over the Net so they can conduct online transactions. The directory to be proposed next week is not based on SOAP.
IBM has previously partnered with Ariba, selling the software and hardware to help businesses connect to Ariba's network of online marketplaces.
