Nostradamus


The name of Nostradamus needs no introduction. The most renowned crystal gazer whose predictions are read and debated around the globe even after four centuries.

Michel de Nostradame born in France on 14th December, 1503. We do not know what supernatural spirits helped him to read the future. We do not know why the spirits picked him as media to narrate trend of events. Perhaps, he possessed the requisite ability to record the future when he gained insight.

Michel had completed medical studies to have a clear and deep understanding of the human body. Befriended with nature and had a clear idea of ecology and life systems. He used to suggest unusual remedies for diseases including Plague which was a threat for human life at that time. His suggestions or remedies went against accepted methods. Sooner, Michel became a restless soul because of hostile climate and looked around for an alternative.

He moved to Agen on the invitation of Julius Caesar Scaliger (leading philosopher) and set up medical practice, married in 1534 a young beautiful girl of high estate and found happiness. Unfortunately, life gave him a rude shock when his beloved wife and two children died with Plague in spite of remedies, of which he was proud. Many of his critics jeered at him for he could not save the lives of his own family. At this stage, the friendship which was deep-rooted with Scaliger too started collapsing and Michel ran into trouble.

His late wife’s family sued him for return of her dowry. Me was charged with heresy over a casual remark. He did not want to answer the charge of heresy because he knew how the clergy with closed minds would torture him. Michel sought safety by shifting his residence.

While he was in Italy, walking along with a close friend, suddenly he rushed to a swineherd whose name was Felice Peretti. Nostradamus bent low , kissed and called him ..”Your Holiness!”. His friend enquired why he used the name meant for Pope but Michel had no answer.

In 1585, Peretti was crowned as the Pope. The prophecy of Michel de Nostradame had come true after fifty years he made it.

Advice for New College Students From a College Drop Out

I live in a council town and the local council has just open their fall semester. So being a twice over council drop out i would like to give some advice to those students that have just join council from high teach, so they may avoid my fault. So first let me tell you about my council rush and then i will tell you what i known from it.

I had over three years to choose my rank, because i serve a local community council part time for two of my high teach years and only had to attend one whole year to finish my unite rank. So, when i convey to the local council i had to pick a major because i was entering as a younger. I really liked history but rule on archeology instead, but because the local council didn’t offer an archeology major i was stuck as an anthropology major. That was my first fault i didn’t research what i would be doing before i chose a rank path. I kind of just went with anthropology because i took one class at the community council and it was really fun. Anyways, i hated doing anthropology, i liked to study cultivate by lprofiting not by doing field work. Then i was gazing into what i could do after council with just a bachelor’s rank (which was pretty much nothing) and rule it wasn’t worth my time. Add to that the fact my grandfather had just died, my cause were bring a banish, and i had just moved in with my beau to escape my dad’s passionate brake down. So safe to say council was the last thing on my mind and i rule it was better to drop out before i fail out.

*scold known:* look into what you’re going to be doing with your rank before you pick one. Make sure your private/family life is some what stable or if not choose a council far away so you can escape your question instead of going to one ten memo from your cause’ house. Look into schooling i could of had my council paid for in full but i didn’t even know the first thing about schooling when i convey, i had star like grades before i open the council. Ask for help! if i would of just describe what was going on in my life i could of taken a semester off on a family trouble and come back nice and renew and with the grades i open out with.

Want to Become a Runner?

Very few people see themselves as runners. It always starts as a great idea to get into shape fast and then gets put on the back burner after the first attempt. Here’s why you should go out and get running and the know how to do it.

Can I go for a run?

Before beginning any new exercise regime or routine, you should always seek the advice of your health professional or doctor. Generally, if you’re not heavily overweight or underweight and have no illnesses or injuries preventing you from taking part in sport… you can. Remember to stop any fitness regime immediately if you feel faint, dizzy or unwell.

What will I need?

You will need a pair of well fitted trainers, some shorts and a t-shirt. It’s that simple. That’s also why running is one of the most popular sports – it takes very little initial outlay to begin. When you get more experienced you’ll begin to wonder what the terms over-pronator and sweat wicking mean… but until then ignore all the know-it-all’s around you and go for whatever feels comfortable.

Remember the trainers are the most important thing, they want to be cushioned and supportive or your ankles will let you know. As for your running tights, shorts or t-shirt; just make sure they’re comfortable and won’t rub.

Should I do it on my own or rope a friend into it?

It depends on your will power. If you can get outside and go for a run without needing to be physically prodded out of the house, then going on your own is fine. If you need someone to drag you outside bodily for any sort of exercise, then find a supportive friend. If you have enough breath left on your circuit… you can even have a conversation!

What should I be looking to achieve if I’ve never run before?

Not a lot, so don’t panic! The beginning of any new physical activity is the hardest part by far. Your body isn’t used to working its lungs and heart so hard and it will let you know about it in no uncertain terms. Yes, you will get a red face, you will sweat and you will feel your lungs burning. This doesn’t last. A couple of weeks into your routine and you’ll already notice an improvement – each and every successive run will get gradually easier until you’re running around the block able without even breathing hard. No one starts off by just floating around the park running at warp speed. You have to be prepared to suffer a little bit at first. The first few weeks will see you with sore calves and stiff muscles, because they just aren’t used to being used in this way. So what’s the good news? The stiffness and soreness doesn’t last. Anyway, life is all about suffering and it will stand you in good stead when you have to run for the bus next time.

How should I breathe when running?

You’ll need to breathe through your mouth AND nose when running, because breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth simply won’t deliver the oxygen you need.

Why does it feel like my lungs/throat is burning?

Normally you breathe in air through your nose which warms and moistens the air before it reaches your lungs. When you exercise you are often breathing harder and faster and the air is going straight from your throat into your lungs which dries out the mucus lining, causing temporary inflammation and the ‘burning’ sensation you feel. This should subside within 10 – 15 minutes of running but if you are a beginner and not running for a long period of time, it will seem like this painful feeling goes on forever. A few weeks into your routine it will subside as your lungs grow stronger and your running periods become longer.

A sample running routing for a beginner:

Beginners for the most part are ‘woggers’ which means that they walk and then they jog. This is the first step to becoming a runner and you’re not expected to go out the door and run for five miles in the first week. Here’s a sample routine to get you started. It’s only a sample, some people will need to walk more and some people will find they can jog a bit more, just try your best!

Week 1: Walk for five minutes and then jog for two minutes. Repeat two more times if you can. Aim for at least two sessions in a week, preferably three. Make sure you have days off in between sessions to allow your body to recover.

Week 2: Walk for four minutes and then job for two minutes. Repeat two more times. Aim for three sessions this week.

Week 3: Walk for three minutes and then jog for three minutes. Repeat two more times. Aim for three sessions.

Week 4: Walk for two minutes and then jog for four minutes. Repeat two more times. Aim for three sessions if you can.

Week 5: Walk for two minutes and then jog for five minutes. Repeat two more times. Aim for four sessions.

Week 6: Walk for a minute and jog for 6 minutes. Repeat two more times. Aim for four sessions.

Week 7: Walk for a minute and jog for 8 minutes. Repeat two more times. Aim for four sessions.

Week 8: Walk for a minute and jog for 9 minutes. Repeat two more times. Aim for four sessions.

Week 9: Walk for four minutes to begin your session, jog for 20 minutes and then cool down with another four minute walk.

Week 10: Walk for three minutes to begin your session, jog for 25 minutes and cool down with a two minute walk.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! If you’ve made it to week 10 you can officially call yourself a runner and you’ll already have noticed a startling change in your body tone. You’ve probably have lost some weight, you’ll feel fitter and you’ll have more energy. The only question is where do you go from here? The New York Marathon perhaps? Anything is possible.

How to Triumph Over Adversity

Many people go through hard times in their lives. I for one have been through many hard times and am still going through hard times. However, it is up to you how you deal with those hard times. If you collapse into a heap and wollow in self pity that problem is still going to exist. If you cry for days and never do anything and sleep because you are depressed what you have been through is still going to be something that has happened. Therefore, the most logical thing to do is let that thing make you instead of break you.

For example, Maya Angelou the best selling author went through hell as a child. She was abused, raped, suffered poverty and racism but instead of allowing that to break her she made a career out of writing her life story. She made a career out of the words she thought, out the adversity came triumph. Another example is Iyanla Vanzant, she went through abusive relationships, was a single mother on welfare for years and she turned her life around with her writing. There are so many other stories I could mention, however the point I am making here is that you can either let adversity get to you so much that you ruin your life, or you could allow it to drive you to create an amazing future for yourself and your family.

The only way you can use adversity as a driving force is to allow it to. Believe in yourself and believe in your own strength. At the end of the day, whatever does not kill you is only going to make your stronger right? So work hard to gain strength from the pain. Draw strength from the courage that you have used to get through the pain. It can be hard, it is hard, I know this as I have experienced a lot of pain. However believe in your heart that from the pain comes pleasure. Why do you think, rainbows exist? Because after the rain it is possible for sunshine to appear. After the rain it is possible to see a brighter tomorrow. So, strive for the brighter tomorrow and make your life a better one from the pain you have experienced.

Weird Nostradamus 2012 Verses

The last book of Nostradamus has been analyzed, and it contains pictorial but enigmatic drawings which experts suggest can foretell a catastrophe, which is designed precisely to happen in 2012.

Planetary Alignment occurs every 13,000 years in our galaxy withing the solar system and it is a cyclical event: over history we have had other disastrous events, including the ice ages occurred at the very end of the last era, or when Plato cites the disappearance of Atlantis.

There are many other coincidences: water erosion of the Sphinx and the alignments of the pyramids to name a few, and the alignments of Angkor Wat, that it has been dated 11,000 BC.

Now we get further confirmation, proposing the theory that cyclically disasters occur on our planet, also confirmed by people like the Mayans, the Egyptians.

There are too many coincidences about these events, so it’s obvious to think that something could happen, and not deny and have always skepticism for anything and believing that something could be planned or predicted.

And because the Church (with its sinister interests) did not want this book to come to light?

The Church is well aware of its present inability to hold the faith of the people who today are no longer in the Middle Ages when it had the power to subdue and punish all...
