More info Harold Lindsey is an American evangelist and Christian writer who wrote a series of popular apocalyptic books suggesting that the Rapture would occur in the Eighties. Mr Lindsey claimed he had successfully predicted the doomsday initiation after decoding Matthew 24:32-33, which reads: “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree – as soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.” According to Mr Lindsey, the 1948 “rebirth of Israel as a nation” represented the fig tree – and the generation brought up in this period would witness the … [Read more...] about ‘Lord will return’ Bible scholar’s 2021 end of the world prediction after ‘decoding’ text

Internet laughs as vet trip reveals cat is secretly eating neighbor’s food
As cat owners will tell you, felines are very food-orientated. From the " savage " Bengal who has to be fenced in at mealtimes, to this muffin-stealing moggy , cats will go to extreme lengths for a full belly. One pet parent was concerned after their cat stopped eating, only to discover that the sneaky puss had been stealing food from the neighbors. Posting to the subreddit r/cats on July 4, Reddit user u/Mysticstorms shared a snap of their pet with their stomach shaved. After turning down meals for three days straight, the ginger and white cat had been to the vet for an ultrasound. Fortunately, no health problems were detected, but they did find lunch. "Cat didn't eat for 3 days, went to the vet where they did an ultra sound only to find a belly full of the neighbour's cat's food," Mysticstorms wrote alongside the photograph, which had more than 45,000 upvotes at the time of publication. A study published in 2020 suggested that how pet cats are fed can determine their … [Read more...] about Internet laughs as vet trip reveals cat is secretly eating neighbor’s food

June temperatures ‘well above average’ in North Island; more rain for many western, inland areas
JOHN BISSET/STUFF The residents of Ōmārama woke to one of the heaviest snow falls in recent years on June 13. Temperatures were at least 1.2C above average across most of the North Island during June, while there was more rain in many western and inland areas of the country. “It was especially wet in inland parts of Otago and Canterbury, and Tauranga, where rainfall totals were about double the June average, Niwa said in its Monthly Climate Summary for June, published on Tuesday. With more airflow than usual from the northwest, rainfall was less than 79% of normal, or even less than half of normal, for eastern parts of both the North and South Island, Niwa said. The airflows from the northwest, along with warmer than usual sea surface temperatures were likely the cause of relative warmth throughout the country.

Until I Met You is Amber Gill’s first novel for romantic publishers Mills & Boon .

Mount St. Helens and the Fear of Not Knowing
Yesterday, thousands of miles away from me, a volcano in Hawaii erupted violently. Moments later, the phone in my pocket buzzed with an alert, Twitter notified me, friends on Slack pinged me, and within minutes I joined thousands of other curious people across the planet, watching someone livestream the eruption of Kilauea. The giant stack of technology that our apps and browsers feed on has made this sort of magical instant-sharing so commonplace that immediacy has become our expectation. Geologists in Hawaii had to ask for patience on Twitter, responding to requests clamoring for images and video, explaining that they were busy monitoring instruments, which took priority over streaming video on limited bandwidth. Thirty-eight years ago today, a different volcano erupted, and it plunged thousands into darkness in Washington state, both literally and figuratively. I was 12 years old at the time, living with my mother and brother in a house on a hill north of Spokane, Washington, … [Read more...] about Mount St. Helens and the Fear of Not Knowing
Now businesses face soaring energy bills
Douglas Fraser Published 27 April Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Businesses do not have the householders' protection of an energy price cap, though many have been helped by fixing their prices last autumn, before the surge in prices began. That lasts, for many, until autumn, and now is the time they are finding out how much more they will have to pay. Some, in Glasgow, are rebelling. Some firms can pass on extra costs to customers, including energy suppliers themselves. But for others, they face the daunting task of absorbing costs or losing custom. Barista and businessman Robbie Gray had enough of the soaring electricity bills for the Canary Girl Cafe. "It's like staring into the abyss and not knowing what's coming," he says. "I'm not the kind of person who's afraid of their bills, but the last few months, I've dreaded that little brown envelope coming through the … [Read more...] about Now businesses face soaring energy bills
Psychiatry and the War
by BRIG. GEN. WILLIAM C. MENNINGER, USA MILITARY psychiatry differs from civilian psychiatry in that the Army must be totally responsible for a man — not only for his food and clothing, but especially for his ability to participate in his particular mission. Consequently, when a man did not fulfill his function, the Army had to find the cause and, if possible, remedy it. In many instances the cause lay in his personality and in his emotional difficulties. Since there is a human tendency to retreat into illness under stress, it was not surprising to find that many men became ill when they were unable to meet the demands of the new life. Military psychiatry differs also in quality from civilian psychiatry. In the Army much more effort and time are invested in a preventive psychiatryan attempt to keep men healthy and to seek out causes for poor morale. Until comparatively recently, the majority of civilian psychiatric patients had to be brought to the psychiatrist by relatives, … [Read more...] about Psychiatry and the War
