Deacon Frost The budget of the film was 50 million and it grossed 132 million worldwide Contents show Plot The movie begins with a flashback of a pregnant woman being hospitalized after being bitten by as one of the doctors said some kind of wild animal In the process of trying to revive her she gives birth to her baby boy and dies The next scene proceeds to the present and continues with a seductive woman bringing an unsuspecting man to a strange nightclub As the scene progresses the man realizes something is amiss in the club yet can not quite discern why However his fears are soon confirmed when blood begins to pour down from the sprinkler system Blade Wesley Snipes coolly enters the main dance floor wreaking havoc amongst the vampire crowd He immediately begins a noholdsbarred slaughter of the vampires using a combination of martial arts and firearms to pick them off Eventually after fighting his way through numerous guards Blade singles out one vampire in particular named Quinn played by Donal Logue nailing him to the wall with stakes and setting him alight Upon hearing police sirens Blade turns to Quinn and tells him Give my regards to Frost leaving a burnt Quinn along with the confused human as the only surviving inhabitants of his Doctor Karen Jenson NBushe Wright is the unlucky individual who performs the examination on Quinns corpse During the examination Quinn shockingly returns to life and feeds on both Jenson and her coworker However Blade enters the morgue having presupposed that Quinn would come back He attacks the rejuvenated vampire but is yet again forced to flee when the police arrive As he makes to leave Blade sees a bleeding Doctor Jensen lying on the floor beckoning for him to help her Due to the doctors similarity to Blades mother he rescues Jensen and they head back to his base of The scene changes to the meeting room of The House of Erebus a vampire Shadow Council The Elder Dragonetti played by Udo Kier discusses Blades recent intensified attacks and berates a young Deacon Frost Stephen Dorff for his recklessness in running these clubs During this scene there is a short explanation of vampire politics most vampires believe that they should more or less coexist with the humans maintaining a secret Mafialike power cabal while renegades such as Frost believe they should rule them outright It is also established that there is some stigma from pureblood vampires ie those who are The storyline switches back to Blades lair where Jenson meets Abraham Whistler Kris Kristofferson Blades mentor and weapons technician in their fight against vampirekind Whistler delivers a small speech outlining Blades past their current mission and the nature of vampires along with the power they hold in the outside world Jenson decides to head home although Blade reminds her it is a possibility that due to Quinns bite she too may become a vampire It is also established in this scene that Blade is a halfvampire and requires a serum to prevent his need to drink blood Jenson begins to Upon arriving in her apartment Jenson is assaulted by a policeman who is revealed to be a familiar a human being who serves vampires a collaborator essentially that after years of service might get rewarded by being turned into a vampire Blade rescues Jenson and later follows the familiar back to another club of Frosts there discovering that Frost has plans involving a vampire bloodgod named La Magra The officer is killed by Frost at a party thrown by Deacon Blade and Karen proceed to interrogate a comically obese vampire named Pearl Blade and Karen kill Pearl with a UVLamp However shortly after this Frost makes a second strike While Blade heads out to fetch the ingredients for his serum Frost abducts Dr Jenson from the lair and badly beats Whistler leaving Quinn and the rest of his crew to finish him off Upon Blades return he finds a taunting video left from Frost In a poignant scene Blade aids a bleeding Whistler in suicide Blade hears a gunshot from outside but doesnt see it happen Stricken with grief Blade vows to find and kill Frost During this time Frost kills Elder Dragonetti by subjecting him to a sunrise and Blade arms himself for a raid on Frosts base taking along with him speciallydesigned pneumatic syringes loaded with EDTA normally used as a blood thinner to clear blood clots in the heart which has a highly volatile reaction to vampire blood During his attack on the base Blade fights his way through a horde of vampires yet discovers a horrible truth once he reaches the top floor of the building He learns that his mother the pregnant woman from the flashback scene did not in fact die and is now Frosts vampire mistress as it was Frost himself who had Using his resources and vast wealth Frost has managed to rebuild the temple and intends to use it for La Magras resurrection a key ingredient of which is Blades sunlightresistant vampiric blood along with the sacrifice of the other twelve council members Ashe Cianteto Dragonetti Faustinas who held two seats Ligaroo Lemure Kobejitsu Lobishomen Von Esper Upier and Pallintine Through the ritual Frost becomes an eminently more powerful vampire far surpassing any other vampires strength or speed and gains the powers and attributes of each sacrificed member including immunity to silver instant regeneration of lost limbs superior strength and speed With Dr Jensons intervention Blade breaks free from his sacrificial housing killing his mother and nearly draining Dr Jenson to renew his strength After Blade disposes of Frosts minions including the death of Quinn and Mercury the two meet for one final climactic battle at the base of the temple Upon discovering that Frost can not be killed by any conventional means Blade empties every single EDTA syringe he has on Frost who is now constituted entirely of vampire blood causing his body to swell and explode Climbing out from the underground temple Karen offers Blade her cure Blade refuses because curing him of his need for blood would also remove his Daywalker powers and he would be unable to hunt vampires and he requests that she make him a better serum reminding her that theres still a war going on The final scene shows Blade in Moscow hunting down and killing a Russian vampire who persuaded a human to follow him to a vampire club This sets the stage for the second film Cast Wesley Snipes as Eric BrooksBlade Kris Kristofferson as Abraham Whistler Stephen Dorff as Deacon FrostLa Magra NBushe Wright as Dr Karen Jenson Donal Logue as Quinn Udo Kier as Gitano

Michael Morbius Alternate Ending Taglines The power of an immortal The soul of a human The heart of a hero Against an army of immortals one warrior must draw first blood Production In Comics Scene46 Lee Goldberg notes that he got involved with an earlier attempt to adapt Blade to television as a companion series to SheWolf of London When the latter series disappointed Blade got aborted as a TV series Goldberg also met with Richard Roundtree at a dinner event to see if he would play Blade they both got food poisoning Producer Peter Frankfurt had just finished Juice when he had a chance conversation with the head of Marvel Films about the absence of black superheroes in the comics A few days later I got a copy of the Blade comic book in the mail Frankfurt said The producer who wasnt much of a comic aficionado at the time was immediately intrigued by the idea of bringing Blade to the screen Blade appealed to me because hes not your typical hero He lives to kill vampires and exact vengeance Frankfurt said Blade has a dark side confirms Executive Producer Stan Lee who began his legendary career at Marvel in 1940 and is currently responsible for the companys movie television and animation projects Frankfurt met with Lee and fellow Marvel executive Avi Arad who suggested he contact Michael De Luca president of production at New Line Cinema De Luca who acquired and developed a number of hit film properties based on comic books including The Mask and Spawn was instantly receptive to Frankfurts idea for a feature film based on Blade Mikes reaction was a definitive Go recalls the producer After acquiring the rights to the property the filmmakers sought a writer who would connect with the complex tormented superhero They demanded a writer who would have an entirely original interpretation of Blades tough gritty world Frankfurt and producer Bob Engelman were highly impressed with David S Goyer who had the right training and sensibility for the job Goyer wrote the martial arts packed action adventure Death Warrant and the unearthly science fiction thriller The Crow City of Angels The writer was hired to pen the script for Blade and he produced a first draft eight weeks later Goyer shared the producers vision of the material Blade had to have a completely fresh take on the vampire theme it would defy all of the ordinary vampire clichés And the script Goyer delivered was anything but ordinary According to Stan Lee who is often disappointed in film adaptations of comic books Goyers screenplay didnt miss a beat He nailed it proclaims Lee This is a very very scary script with a surprise on every page The vampires are terrifying and fantastic at the same time Youve never seen anything like this before anywhere warns the Marvel executive At New Line De Luca was ecstatic Recalls Frankfurt Mike read the screenplay and said This is an epic action film and it needs an action superstar The producers realized their hero was inherently different from the vast majority of goodytwoshoes comic book characters Blade wore combat boots and they would not be easy to fill Peter Frankfurt recalls the producers mandate in the search for a director We were looking for someone who could bring a contemporary attitude along with unlimited imagination to the screen Stephen Norrington a young British filmmaker who had directed a number of notable music videos was not the least bit interested in making a typical Vampire Film Stephen didnt want to do anything that smells or tastes like a vampire movie states Frankfurt Wesley Snipes was the trigger in bringing Norrington onto the project Snipes was overwhelmed by the directors feature film debut Death Machine Its got amazing special effects especially considering the moderate budget they had to work with says Snipes Its now on my list of alltime great movies Snipes and Norrington met for dinner in New York and the actor was immediately impressed with the intelligent young director He has one incredibly vivid imagination praises Snipes For their part the filmmakers recognized that Norrington had terrific intuition as well as the requisite chutzpa to push the creative envelope His extensive background in visual and special effects would be extremely valuable in making a futuristic scifi action thriller Norringtons enthusiasm for the project and unconventional approach to the material persuaded the producers to bring him on board Stephen Norrington has delivered a film which is a fabulous illusion yet seems like reality declares Frankfurt Its eerie and disturbing because its so real it makes you consider the possibility that vampires really do exist Snipes agrees with Frankfurts appraisal Blade presents a shadow world where the bridge between whats real and whats unreal is very small According to the actor Blade is a phenomenal movie Its got everything great acting great action pumping music Its an entertainment smorgasbord Blade is a really hip soldier Blade is an action jamboree And Wesley Snipes whose many credits include such internationally acclaimed action films as Passenger 57 Rising Sun and Demolition Man claims that Blade has been the most physically challenging role of his career It was a role Snipes was anxious to undertake Ive been waiting for this for a long time Blade gave me the opportunity to pay homage to some of the classic Asian films explains the actor who is a trained martial artist Were doing things with swords and other weapons and wires things that seem to be only done in Hong Kong According to producer Frankfurt the fight sequences reflect the character of the films superhero Blade is highly disciplined and that influences the way he wages war He moves with almost surgical precision Snipes worked closely with Norrington and stunt coordinator Jeff Ward in choreographing the films many demanding fight and action sequences In Frankfurts view the close collaboration between Snipes Norrington and Ward produced unique results Theyre an interesting amalgam I dont think weve ever seen this mix of sensibilities in the movies before Snipes who performed many of his own stunts Filming began on 5th Febuary 1997 and ended in June of that year in and around Los Angeles Trivia Donal Logue re injured his jaw in the scene where he is struggling with NBushe Wright in the hospital He originally broke his jaw in a motorcycle accident a year before In the scene where Blade is chased to the subway and the subway train is passing by all the passengers are cardboard cutouts with the special FX man among them A great many hand held shots were accomplished with a special anamorphiclens camera that also had singleunit sound the only one of its kind in the world Lamagra is Spanish and Italian for The thin one and has the female inflection The Vampire Bible is referred to as The Book of Erebus Erebus is a god of dark night in Greek Mythology David Fincher was supposed to direct the film He later dropped out to pursue other projects Stan Lee originally had a cameo that was cut from the film He played one of the cops that comes into the blood club during the aftermath and discovers Quinns body on fire Blades car is a 1968 Dodge Charger with various modifications The scene where Karen and Deacon are talking about the cure for vampirism initially ran a bit longer and answered the question of how the vampires would feed if everybody was turned into a vampire They would keep some humans alive in giant blood bags to harvest them The bags can still be seen in a doorway during the scene and later played an integral part of the plot in Blade Trinity David S Goyer explained in the DVD commentary that when Karen Jensen wakes up at Blades hideout after her attack and rescue by Blade the script had her discover a jar with a vampire baby in it The baby would be alive and used by Blade and Whistler as a guinea pig for testing out weapons to fight vampires The studio however found the concept to be disturbing and refused to allow it The movie playing on the TV in Frosts penthouse during the party is Mortal Kombat Matt SchulzeChupa from BladeII has a bit part in the film in the archive room scene palying the vampire Crease who gets his hand cut off by the booby trapped hilt of blades sword The first cut of the film had a disastrous test screening with the audience and many heavy edits and reshoots were implemented which delayed the release of the film be a year and a half The most significant changes were the addition of the sword fight between Blade and Deacon Frost and Frosts deathWhere he explodes In the ending as it was originally planned Frost turned into LaMagra and became a large swirling mass of Blood instead of keeping his form This was scrapped because the special effects did bot look right It can be seen as a special feature on the DVD In the film Whistler can read the ancient Vampire Language We see this when he translates the piece of paper taken by Blade from the archive room However in the script Whistler can not understand the language and Blade goes to a Voodoo priestess to get a translation An Alternate ending found on the LaMagra section of the DVD shows Karen pointing out to a shadowy figure wrapped in rags on a distant roof top The character is supposed to be the Marvel character Morbius the Living Vampire Gallery Main article Blade

transformed by the native Risians with a technologically sophisticated weather control network that provided almostconstantly desirable weather industrial replicators and seismic regulators to

radically change Risas culture to incorporate extremely graphic depictions of homosexual behavior which Rick Berman advised Behr to ignore William Shatner Presents Chaos on the Bridge Years after working on Star Trek The Next Generation Patrick Stewart once claimed that Risa was the only planet from TNG that he could remember the name of William Shatner Presents Chaos on the Bridge For DS9 Let He Who Is Without Sin sets representing guest chambers on Risa such as Pascal Fullerton s as well as one used by Worf and Jadzia Dax were built on Paramount Stage 17 In ultimately omitted dialogue from the final draft script of ENT Desert Crossing Jonathan Archer and Charles Tucker III agreed that when they arrived on Risa the first thing they would do would be to jump into the nearest swimming pool they could find In the same script Risa was depicted as appearing in the episodes final shot referred to in a scene description as a beautiful bluegreen planet despite the fact Risa does not appear in that episodes final version Nonetheless Risa was also referred to as a bluegreen planet in the final draft script of ENT Two Days and Two Nights and in incomplete visual effects footage from a deleted scene excluded from that episode the latter of which can be seen in the special features of the ENT Season 1 DVD and Bluray One of the shots in which Risa was intended to replace green screen In the version of the ultimately deleted scene from the final draft script of Two Days and Two Nights a scene description reads Risa hangs enticingly outside the windows and another scene description mentions the promise of Risa shining through the windows The filmed version of the scene demonstrates that if the scene had been completed the planet would have been inserted into the footage with replacement of green screen In another scene description from the final draft script of Two Days and Two Nights Risa was referred to as a spectacular planet The surface of the planet was also scripted to be extremely serene In a scene that was scripted for the end of ENT Home and included in the ENT Season 4 Bluray but never filmed Risa was briefly mentioned as one of several small rocks which Archer left at his father s grave had been taken by the captain from Risa In the same scene Archer commented as if to his deceased father Thats a place I wish you couldve seen A reference to Risa was included in the first draft script of the aborted film Star Trek The Beginning set in 2159 Risa was noted to be the location where Archer and Enterprise were during a series of Romulan attacks in the Sol system which took place on 13 August 2159 and initiated the EarthRomulan War The Risian emblem tilted by 90 A logo for Risa depicting a sunset over an ocean was created and shown in

Jesuit

oath

Comment

With

the

new

Pope

being

a

Jesuit

a

rumor

has

hit

my

Facebook

of

a

socalled

oath

that

every

Jesuit

must

take

Its

very

ugly

I

found

one

source

that

attempts

to

debunk

it

but

I

hope

you

will

investigate

because

the

rumors

are

only

going

to

get

worse

Heres

the

debunking

source

httpwwwreocitiescomokc_catholisuit_oathhtml

If

you

google

Jesuit

oath

youll

find

a

document

in

the

Library

of

Congress

But

that

doesnt

mean

the

oath

is

true

does

it

Just

that

someone

submitted

it

as

a

publication

I

would

Robert

a

who

also

the

So

I

was

raised

Catholic

A

long

time

ago

in

a

place

far

far

away

I

once

dated

a

girl

who

had

been

raised

in

a

Charismatic

Pentecostal

environment

with

a

dash

of

Foursquare

thrown

in

She

had

some

issues

in

life

so

did

I

I

suppose

One

of

the

things

she

mentioned

was

that

her

church

had

taught

her

that

Catholic

priests

are

required

to

try

to

kill

priestsministers

of

other

religions

especially

Christian

religions

she

didnt

believe

Catholics

were

Christians

The

OP

gives

me

an

idea

of

the

genesis

of

that

belief

My

who

was

told

as

by

teacher

that

nuns

secretly

sacrificed

infants

as

rites

She

was

raised

to

believe

that

catholics

werent

christians

either

I

recall

visiting

my

grandparents

her

parents

and

seeing

a

publication

around

their

home

called

The

Sword

of

the

Lord

that

asserted

on

a

regular

basis

that

the

was

the

So

yes

these

beliefs

though

strikingly

bizarre

are

likely

still

to

survive

in

Now

I

suppose

it

does

no

good

to

mention

that

the

is

simply

like

all

a

of

presents

various

does

not

nor

simply

provides

access

them

to

present

differing

opinions

But

I

guess

the

completely

goes

over

I

shudder

to

think

what

I

it

is

progress

when

with

conspiracy

theories

The

old

girlfriend

of

mine

also

believed

that

the

Catholic

church

prohibited

Catholics

from

owning

or

reading

bibles

People

used

to

worry

that

JFK

would

have

more

loyalty

to

the

than

to

the

AntiCatholic

bigotry

was

once

a

part

of

the

platform

Nowadays

most

people

seem

unaware

that

Catholics

ever

faced

any

biases

It

would

be

nice

to

get

there

with

other

groups

some

day

Like

many

of

the

most

damaging

conspiracy

theories

that

one

might

to

it

at

I

that

I

was

that

the

strongly

resisted

efforts

to

produce

bibles

in

the

of

the

masses

as

a

way

to

retain

their

theological

monopoly

and

prevent

any

sort

of

free

interpretation

of

the

scriptures

from

contradicting

Catholic

doctrine

and

dogma

Like

many

things

I

was

taught

I

believe

this

to

be

both

a

dramatic

overstatement

and

a

willful

oversimplification

of

the

matter

which

spans

several

centuries

and

was

as

much

a

battle

of

politics

and

political

power

as

it

was

of

faith

No

doubt

however

the

Church

objected

most

heartily

to

what

they

believed

were

important

errors

in

various

translations

including

Wycliffes

and

Tyndales

translations

not

just

they

believed

it

could

lead

uninformed

readers

into

heresy

and

as

an

extension

loss

of

salvation

but

also

because

some

alleged

errors

could

diminish

the

churchs

power

Tyndale

was

introduced

to

me

from

my

schooling

thanks

BJU

Press

as

a

martyr

whos

conviction

in

the

right

and

true

way

AKA

the

way

led

him

to

struggle

to

publish

the

in

so

the

could

see

the

light

and

come

out

from

it

more

his

that

led

let

us

remember

that

Henry

in

restricted

the

to

clerics

noblemen

the

gentry

and

richer

merchants

Women

below

gentry

rank

servants

apprentices

and

generally

poor

it

Women

of

the

were

only

allowed

So

this

IIRC

Catholic

opposition

to

vernacular

Bibles

had

to

do

with

the

ongoing

Protestant

vs

Catholic

outlook

on

the

world

translations

which

books

were

included

etc

At

the

same

time

there

was

a

strong

Protestant

motion

for

Bibles

and

services

in

any

language

but

Latin

because

that

was

a

Catholic

thing

Those

who

were

educated

back

then

in

the

tradition

of

the

classical

education

knew

Latin

and

Ancient

had

10 Tips for Veterans Going to College As a veteran returning to civilian life you have a variety of adjustments to make It isnt easy Our military provides valuable experience but it can be tough to translate into a civilian job back in the United States Often times veterans decide to earn a college education building upon the skills theyve learned during their time of service Combining your military experience with education can be a valuable asset but it can be overwhelming Everyone has to adjust to college life but as a veteran you have a different kind of adjustment to make The majority of traditional college students are single in their late teens and transitioning from high school to college Conversely fortysix percent of student veterans have children and less than onethird are single and have never been married As a veteran you may have a family to support and care for and you may be learning to cope with physical and mental conditions as a result of your time in the military These adjustments are tough but you can navigate the challenges veterans face in college with the help of these ten tips for veterans going to college 1 Search for Colleges With a Veteran Population When you begin to search for colleges consider searching for schools with a veteran population A veteran student presence on campus usually means there is a veterans office or veterans administrator which can help you sort through your eligible benefits The office or individual may also be familiar with other resources you can take advantage of in your transition to civilian life specifically as a student Having veteran students on campus also means that many of the professors are familiar with veteran students and their unique needs You may have a family to support and children to spend time with and you might need some sort of counseling to help you through your transition to civilian life Thats a lot to juggle on top of college classes If professors havent had veteran students they may not be familiar with the demands and they may not be as empathetic Another one of the challenges veterans face in college is feeling isolated Eighty percent of student veterans are over the age of 25 Traditional college students are often fresh out of high school so there is a significant difference in age as well as maturity A traditional college student often cant relate to a veteran student You will have a group to connect with if a college has veteran students on campus a group that understands you which is valuable in your transition to college and civilian life 2 Consider the College Level Examination Program CLEP Even though you will receive GI benefits the reality is that college is expensive The College Level Examination Program is a series of exams that strives to translate the collegelevel knowledge youve gained through your experience There are a variety of exams some general others subjective that are worth up to six credits While there is a cost to take a CLEP exam the cost is a fraction of the cost of tuition and fees so it can be an affordable and efficient way to help you earn credit for the skills youve learned and skip some of the general The CLEP exams are administered at colleges and onbase testing centers across the country and around the world Credits are awarded at 2900 colleges and universities so make sure your schools of choice are on the list 3 Dont Assume Admissions Representatives Will Understand Military Jargon As with any career the military has jargon specific to the field Remember that people outside of the field likely wont understand it When youre applying to a few specific schools remember that the admissions representatives may not be familiar with military jargon including military titles When youre applying to colleges take extra time to translate military jargon into civilian words Explain the roles you had what you did and what skills you learned through the position For example perhaps you can say you learned management leadership and streamlining skills in your roles overseas When it comes to the experience focus on challenges you faced actions you took to overcome them and the results you achieved Include your military title but also include an equivalent civilian title that may help admissions representatives understand your experience Youll likely have the opportunity to talk more about your roles and experience in a college interview but its best to explain your skill set and experience thoroughly on the college application This way admissions representatives can begin to understand you as a candidate and identify if you would be a good fit for the college and a particular major or program Some schools like Vista College employ specialized military admissions representatives who will be more likely to speak your language and understand your unique needs 4 Connect With a Veterans Administrator About Your Benefits As a veteran you are entitled to benefits through the GI Bill One of the most important tips for veterans going to college is to make an effort to find the veterans office or veterans administrator on campus and give them a call to discuss your unique situation as well as what you need to do to claim your benefits A veterans administrator can guide you through the process explaining what documents you need what forms need to be completed and the deadlines for everything There are a variety of education benefits available including some state benefits Theres no need to reinvent the wheel Simply find the veterans administrator at the college of your choice and talk to him or her about your options If you want to do some of your own research start with the GI Bill website It has a variety of information in addition to the application for benefits If you do the majority of research and application on your own its still wise to recommend connecting with a colleges veterans office or veterans administrator who can help veterans with benefits every day and maximize the benefits you can receive 5 Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships You should still apply for financial aid even though you qualify for GI benefits The GI Bill doesnt cover all of your expenses Financial aid comes in the form of grants loans and workstudy Grants dont need to be paid back Loans awarded through financial aid will likely have competitive interest rates when compared to private loans from your bank Work study funds often open doors to jobs on campus which allow you to earn extra money While there are no guarantees about what or how much youll qualify for its worth applying so you know whats available if you In addition to applying for financial aid you can also apply for scholarships which are awarded in a certain amount and do not need to be paid back They are available for a variety of needs and achievements including scholarships specifically for veterans Ask the veterans administrator or financial aid office about any scholarships that are available specifically for veterans There is a variety of scholarship websites available for you to browse and apply for scholarships You can start with the Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW The American Legion and DAV Dont ever pay for a scholarship application because they 6 Take Advantage of Your Academic Advisor Every student is assigned an academic advisor Some schools may have an academic advisor specifically for veterans regardless of their major or program of study other students may not If there isnt an advisor specifically for veterans often your advisor will be for students within your area of study An advisors role is to help you navigate your classes and overall academic experience If you take the initiative to meet with your advisor and share some of your experience in the military and your career goals he or she can help you plan your courses to meet your goals If you arent exactly sure about your career goals your advisor can help you by recommending classes based on your experience and areas of interest Advisors are a wealth of information and can help you navigate choosing a major changing a major preparing for a specific career and providing you with classes and coursework at that college or university 7 Seek Veteran Groups on Campus Veteran students are often older than traditional students and their life experiences have often been radically different Many veterans have a spouse or family Even the most empathetic traditional student often cant begin to comprehend a veterans experiences Its natural to see a division between traditional students and veteran students on campus but it can be a problem if the veteran students are not connected Be proactive about finding veteran groups on campus Its important to connect with a group of veterans who understand what its like to have military experience and transition back to civilian life While not all veterans have had the same experience many of them can relate to the transition and that can be a source of comfort Often veterans families have a tough time understanding the transition so finding a few others who are at a point in their transition is a great support Some veterans have likely been at the college for some time and can help provide some insight and guidance to classes and campus life Connecting with other veterans also provides an opportunity to help others after youve been in college for some time 8 Dont Assume Professors Know What Life Is Like for a Veteran Regardless of whether or not youve chosen a campus with a preexisting veteran population its important to remember there may be faculty members who dont understand the challenges veterans face in college Dont assume they know the unique needs of a veteran and dont assume their rules and assignments were created out of a lack of empathy for veterans Professors may simply be unaware that a particular rule or assignment is challenging for you as a veteran Veterans coping with posttraumatic stress disorder PTSD may find sounds words and other triggers that are tough to deal with in a classroom setting There may also be class rules that are tough for you to manage for example if you have a family to care for and support perfect class attendance may be tough for you to achieve You may face unique situations that professors may not be aware of Try hard to give them the benefit of the doubt and if a conflict arises meet with your professor and give them some insight to your situation Every professor may not be empathetic to your every need but they will likely appreciate your honesty If you have to miss class and they dock you points at least offer some insight about why you were absent 9 Dont Neglect Career Development In addition to making your way from class to class and completing assignments colleges offer career preparation services Your academic advisor can help you choose the right classes and the career services office can help you create a resume prepare for job interviews and place you in an internship or coop related to your career A college or university with a veteran population should be able to help you with more than a resume and interview preparation It should also help you translate your military experience into skills and achievements for future employers There are a variety of organizations dedicated to helping veterans transition to civilian life many of them offering job preparation and placement A few of them are included on our list of 10 Organizations that Help Veterans Transition to Civilian Life Visit the career services office on campus and dont shy away from looking for outside resources to help There are a variety of organizations that specifically want to help veterans find jobs take advantage of them 10 Remember That Being a Veteran Empowers You as a Student It can be so easy to feel lost and overwhelmed during the entire process of applying to college going to class and trying to find a job As a veteran you may feel like your time away in the military has been a burden because you arent familiar with all of the steps in the process but the reality is that your military experience has prepared you to tackle college unlike any traditional student Your discipline and training allows you to take responsibility for your education to find the resources you need to develop a plan understand different subjects and focus on assignments You have a unique world view which often helps you grasp concepts better as a result of your experience In addition to the benefits of your experience you have access to benefits that other students dont As a veteran you are truly empowered in a unique way recognizing that fact will help you tackle any of

Military Time History of the 24 Hour Clock With EasyToRead Conversion Charts History of the 24 Hour Clock With EasyToRead Conversion Charts The beginning of the 24 hour clock is rooted in Early Egyptian Culture Other time keeping systems were in use prior to this period and continued to be used in the rest of the world for a considerable amount of time after the end of the old Egyptian civilization However it was the Egyptians who were the first to use the 24 hour time period Their system evolved around the time it took certain constellations to pass through the sky eventually giving rise to a 360 day year In those early days that method of tracking time made use of what are called temporal hours Temporal hours reflect the differing amounts of daylight present during different seasons To account for this the actual length of time that the unit hour lasted for was altered so that day and night had equal hours The system was sufficient for measuring seasonal shifts and events that took place over long periods of time but its usefulness was limited to measuring celestial events that occur every day Some time between 147 and 127 BCE the astronomer Hipparchus developed the idea of equinoctial hours These were hours that were equal in length regardless of the season The length of the hour 60 minutes was determined during the equinox when the periods of day and night are equal For a long time after the equinoctial hour was created laypersons continued to use temporal hours in their everyday lives However the advent of the equinoctial hour was critical to the advancement of astronomy elsewhere Have you ever seen one of these before A 24 hour clock 24 Hour Clock Where is it Used In several countries where 12 hour time keeping is common time kept this way is often referred to as Military Time A clock that counts from 0 12 twice keeps 12 hour time It counts 0 12 starting at midnight and then from 0 12 again after noon has passed In places where the 12 hour clock is common some professions utilize the 24 hour clock because it reduces the chances of confusion resulting from having two iterations of each numbered hour during a day marked by 12 hour time The United States of America Great Britain and Englishspeaking Canada all use the 12 hour time system Disastrous Consequences Contemporary purposes for using Military Time are generally situations where a mistake as to the time of an event can have disastrous consequences or where there is an impediment to observation about where the sun is Knowing how to read Military Time is critical for people in these situations For example Polar explorers and scientists usually use the 24 hour clock because the Suns presence in the sky is either attenuated or prolonged beyond what people are used to Night that lasts all day can be extremely disorienting and the same goes for daylight so they need this method of keeping time to really know what time it is Further usage is common in hospitals because a mistake as to when an operation is to be performed or medicine is to be given could be lethal so using it is a precaution The military also uses 24 hour clocks because of the large number of problems that could be caused by confusion about time People in militaries are likely to be communicating across time zones coordinating sensitive activities and performing highly timesensitive tasks

Extravagant Worship 4 Characteristics of Extravagant Worship Few stories in the Word of God describe extravagant worship any more poignantly than that of the unnamed woman in Luke 73650 Basically the story goes like this Along with others Jesus was invited to the home of a Pharisee named Simon Consistent with the custom of the day spectators were permitted to stand against the outer wall and listen to the mealtime conversation Indeed Pharisees love to be heard and always consider their conversations to be noteworthy During the meal an uninvited woman entered with an alabaster box of ointment and stood behind Jesus Emotionally overcome by His grace and goodness she wept and her tears spilled onto the very feet of the Lord Jesus Himself With no towel to wipe her tears she used the hairs of her head to wash the feet of the Lord What humility What abandon Nor did her lavish devotion end there She began to kiss the very feet of the Lord and to apply the ointment upon them All the while she said nothing And nobody else said anything to her But they did think some things about her Simons thoughts went something like this Jesus cant be a true prophet If He were He would know what kind of woman this isa woman notorious for sin and not worthy to be among such righteous company as we In one short conversation Jesus exposed the hypocrisy of Simons thinking and commended the extravagance of the womans worship Jesus basically said If two people each owe a sum of money one owed about a year and half wages and the other owed about 2 months wages and neither has the wherewithal to pay and both are forgiven of the debt then which one of them will love more You know the answer So did Simon The one that is forgiven more The depth to which we realize our forgiveness correlates to the devotion by which we will lovingly and humbly serve Simon hadnt bothered to demonstrate even the most basic acts of hospitality toward the Lord Jesus had entered his home as a guest but Simon had not bestowed upon Him the hospitable kiss of greeting or provided the customary washing of feet or anointed His head with the soothing and aromatic ointment a guest would typically receive But the woman she performed all three didnt she Consider these simple thoughts about extravagant worship Extravagant Worship Focuses on the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ Worship is not a climate we create a methodology we employ a program we implement a songset we schedule or a service we plan Worship is a fixed gaze upon the Lord and a humble realization of the marvelous grace such an opportunity represents That woman entered a religiously unwelcoming environment and endured the pharisaical gazes because she was completely absorbed in the presence of the Lord and apprehended by His grace There was no greeter to welcome her usher to seat her or fellow congregation member to encourage her But there was Christ and He was enough Extravagant Worship Flows from a Grateful Heart An overflowing heart produced leaky eyes Her soul mind will and emotions magnified the Lord With her mind she understood the magnitude of forgiveness through Christ With her will she chose to receive that forgiveness by faith With her emotions she gratefully wept and kissed and anointed and loved A truly grateful heart focused on the wonderful person of Jesus Christ will cause you to praise or shout or leap or sing or cry But it will not be static It can not be static Emotionless worship is foreign to the Bible Extravagant Worship Fears Not the Judgment of Others Extravagant worship is impossible until my appreciation for forgiveness in Christ and my correspondent love for Christ supersede my fear of what others think about me Wiping feet with hair Kissing feet She didnt care what anyone thought She wasnt trying to make a show or to market some nouveau worship style She was loving her Saviour Extravagant Worship Finds Expression in Even the Smallest Acts of Service This woman did not possess any special giftedness She expressed worship in the simple customary ways by which anybody could have served the Lord Great worship is much less about what I do than it is how I do it and even more importantly for Whom I do it Go ahead Worship Him Its why you exist If this article was a help to you consider sharing it with your friends Article by Kurt Skelly Senior Pastor of Faith Baptist Church Fredericksburg Virginia More From Kurt Skelly More on Christian Living More on Spiritual Growth Stay in ministry Study online Earn your bachelors degree in Biblical Studies from WCBC Online
