Refreshed we will start a new Cycle in the weeks towards Christmas.
Take care.

WOORDBETEKENIS
imminent
betekenis
dreigend, boven het hoofd hangend
uitspraak
[im-mie-nent]
citaat
"De op een na hoogste terreurdreiging is bijna permanent van kracht. Wat betekent dat de kans op een aanslag in Engeland 'zeer waarschijnlijk' geacht wordt, maar niet per se imminent is."

woordfeit
Imminent is in de negentiende eeuw uit het Frans overgenomen. Het gaat op het Latijn terug: het werkwoord imminere betekende al 'dreigend hangen boven' of 'bedreigen'. Het bevat het voorzetsel in met de betekenis 'tot, naar' en het werkwoord minere 'uitsteken'. Dat laatste zit ook in de woorden eminent 'uitstekend, voortreffelijk', en prominent 'vooraanstaand'.

THE BOOK OF BOOKS: Jeremiah 8:1
8 “‘At that time, declares the Lord, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves. 2 They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground. 3 Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the Lord Almighty.’

It's been an amazing fall here at FRONTLINE. While you've seen our seven new broadcasts and other digital projects, we've been keeping something else under wraps that we're excited to share with you today: our newly redesigned website!
The driving force behind this redesign was you, our users. We know you're coming to us from all of your devices -- from smartphones to tablets to desktop computers -- so our new site is fully responsive to give you the best experience on whichever device you choose.
And we're launching with a brand-new digital film today: Children of ISIS, which explores how ISIS is systematically recruiting Syrian children as young as eight to become soldiers and suicide bombers.
We hope you'll have a look, hang out for a while and let us know what you think, either by replying to this email or in the comments on the site.

Save Kaavan the Elephant
| Verenigd Links, Want to save an aging elephant from a truly miserable life? Elephants are incredibly smart, emotional animals. They feel joy and camaraderie—and they can also feel extreme grief and depression. Kaavan was still a baby elephant when he was taken from his mother and placed in the Islamabad, Pakistan Zoo. For the past 30 years, Kaavan has lived in a small concrete enclosure with all four legs chained. These chains have left deep gashes on his feet and legs. He bobs his head from side to side—a behavior known as "weaving", displayed by elephants to express despair and depression. |

Isaiah 1:15-17
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.
Your hands are full of blood!
16 Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
stop doing wrong.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.[a]
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.

BROEIKASGAS EN DE VEEHOUDERIJ
| Dat de grootschalige productie van melk, vlees en eieren veel dierenleed veroorzaakt, weten veel mensen inmiddels. Maar dat de veehouderij verantwoordelijk is voor bijna 15% van de wereldwijde uitstoot van broeikasgassen is voor velen nog onbekend. De uitstoot van deze gassen komt onder andere vrij via de ontlasting van de miljarden dieren in de vee-industrie en de grote hoeveelheid energie die nodig is voor de productie van het voer voor al deze dieren. De uitstoot van broeikasgassen door de veehouderij is zelfs hoger dan de hele transportsector bij elkaar! |

Tropical Pacific water temperatures are shockingly hot. Last week equatorial Pacific water temperatures averaged 3 degrees Celsius above normal for the first time ever in the key Niño 3.4 region. The previous weekly high Niño 3.4 value of 2.8 degrees was tied last week with Nov. 28, 1997. The Niño 3.4 region, used to measure the strength of an El Niño ranges from 170W to 120W from 5 degrees north to 5 degrees south of the equator. If temperatures continue to rise, or plateau for a few more weeks, this will be the strongest El Niño in history.

MAITREYA
PREDICTIONS
Master:
“You are unique and therefore important. Your presence has effects,
like a stone thrown in a quiet pond. Waves, circels, interference.
Nothing happens by chance, everything seems planned. Your name was
planned, so was your day of birth. Much of the program you follow, is
aimed at that. Insight in your self and your historical karma.
Dates
of birth have one big problem.
They
are too precise. Jeus is said to be born on the 24th of
december. Even the year is known. The year 0.
Actually
it was the year minus 4. Herod the Great ordered the slaughter of the
Innocent, to kill Jesus. He died in that year and was buried in an
unique mausoleum near Jerusalem.
The
common chronology and timeline are probably wrong. What about the
date? That the shepperds camped in the open in the middle of winter
seems improbable. More likely is the use by the early church of
dates, already celebrated by the people, like Easter and especially
Christmas. All through history december 24 is an important date. Many
famous teachers were born on that day. Especially the sungod Mithras,
imported to Rome from the Orient. “Christmas” was celebrated,
even before Jesus was born, including the gifts.
But
if you start messing with dates and timelines, other problems appear.
According to catholic tradition John the Baptist was born 6 months
before Jesus. His birthday is celebrated, worldwide on the 24th
of april.
Some
believers still think that his role was more important than Jesus,
whom he baptised in the Jordan-river.”

In Oxford wordt jaarlijks de “World Memory Games” gehouden. Vast onderdeel is “Names and Faces”. De deelnemers kregen 99 foto's van een persoon te zien, met vermelding van voor- en achternaam. Een kwartier later kreeg men de foto's weer te zien, maar nu zonder de namen. Van de mogelijke 198 punten (voornaam correct 1 punt en idem voor de achternaam) scoorde de winnaar er 140! Hersenscan's tonen aan dat de hersenen van deze topdenkers niet afwijken van de doorsnee medemens. Het is een kwestie van veel oefenen en dan kun je meedoen aan de geheugenkampioenschappen in Engeland.
Zoogdieren, inclusief de mens, hebben de ogen, die ze nodig hebben. Prooidieren, zoals herten, hebben de ogen aan de zijkant, van het hoofd. Ze hebben zo een veel breder gezichtsveld. Jagers, zoals een tijger, hebben de ogen aan de voorkant, zodat ze zich kunnen focussen op de prooi, die ze besluipen. Arenden, gieren en andere roofvogels zien bijzonder scherp, omdat ze veel kegeltjes op hun netvlies hebben. Uilen zien 's nachts de urine sporen van bosmuizen, die violet oplichten op de bosgrond. Slangen zien tot in het infra-rode spectrum en reageren op de lichaamswarmte van hun prooi.
Veel vogels en vlinders zien ultraviolet en zijn dus in staat de werkelijke schoonheid van bloesem en bloemen te zien.
