Sixteen Hour Days?

Shortened Days

I am neither a scientist nor a writer, which should become painfully obvious as you read my hypothesis for the coming of sixteen hour days. I am simply a layman who prayerfully studies the scriptures with a contemplative mind. This idea was developed several years ago but has gone heretofore unpublished. Now may be the time. I may or may not be the originator of this hypothesis but I have never heard it from any other source.

According to National Geographic,

Saturday’s Chile earthquake was so powerful that it likely shifted an Earth axis and shortened the length of a day, NASA announced Monday. …[t]he story is quite similar to the December 26, 2004, magnitude 9.0 Sumatra earthquake…

With each of these earthquakes the earth has been shaken on its axis and the days have become shorter as a result. Though this shortening has been minuscule, to say the least, I accept these shorter days as proof that my 16 hour day hypothesis could someday pass into the realm of theory…someday.

My first conception of this hypothesis came to me while studying the scriptures. Firstly:

The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night. (Rev 8:12 NIV)


A day minus one third of the night and one third of the day would be 8 hours shorter than our current 24 hour day, or 16 hours. You don’t buy it? Why any need for shorter days? Here is one very good reason…

How to identify flying termites

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Flying termites sometimes swarm in abundance especially after heavy rain. You might have noticed a lot of flying insects around your lights at night, and chances are, these are flying termites. How do you identify them? Here are a lot of pictures of flying termites to make it easier for you.

Flying termites normally differ from flying ants in the shape of their body, which is longish and has no waist. Generally, the same rules for termite identification also apply to flying termites, in the aspects of their antennae and their main body shape. Flying termites pose no harm to you, except that they might be a nuisance, and of course, they could mate and form new colonies in the future (remember they are flying reproductive males and females).

The easiest and most non lethal way to deal with flying termites is to place a basin of water underneath a light, while switching off the rest of the lights. The flying termites will soon congregate around your light and fall into the water basin.

What do termites look like?

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

A termite is a soft bodied insect that superficially looks like an ant, but isn’t one. They live in colonies like ants do, but they aren’t ants. The major difference between them and ants is the fact that almost all kinds of termites feed on wood (and other decomposing plant matter), but ants don’t. Ants feed on anything that their species is adapted to, but are mostly omnivorous.

Termites are also notoriously secretive, and prefer to spend their time away from any light, living in darkness most of the time. Ants on the other hand, will happily scamper around in the open. This is the major reason why most people don’t really know what termites look like; you don’t see them too often. Here’s a page that shows what do termites look like in detail, perhaps you’ll find it helpful.

Factors To Consider If You Are Thinking About A Speech Pathology Career

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

The demand for speech pathology therapy is increasing and more than many people expect. There are nearly a hundred thousand pathologists in full time employment in the United States alone, making it a crucial part of the education program, as well as a much needed therapy for adults. Although the regulations for speech pathologists vary from state to state, there have now been certain minimum requirements imposed by the Federal Government. A graduate degree and a year working under a supervisor are necessary before you can set up practice on your own. It generally takes three years of study before you can even reach this level.

Are You or a Loved One Bipolar?

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Bipolar disorder, also commonly known as manic depression, is an illness that affects many people all around the world. The defining characteristics of this disorder are extreme highs and lows with possible periods of normalcy in between. While everyone can experience mood swings at some point, those with manic depression do so in a way that can negatively affect their lives and make normal functioning difficult or even impossible. The first step towards effectively dealing with manic depression is to learn as much as possible about this condition.

Depression is one of the types of episodes that someone with manic depression will experience. During a depressed period, symptoms may include excessive sadness, crying, lack of interest in normal activities and a change in normal appetite and sleep patterns. The severity of the depression can range from mild to severe. The duration of a depressive episode can last anywhere from a few days to several months or more.

Effective Control of Water Pollution

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Water is a free natural resource for everyone, with water pollution considered as any change in the natural composition of water due to any type of human activity that formed the pollution. The majority seems to be caused by polluting a substance which at first does not seem offensive at all, or even harmful, yet eventually develops into it. The pollutants involved are either toxic or non-toxic, depending on what they are—food production waste, industrial toxics, manure slurry, or silage effluent—but the results will be the same when they end up in large bodies of water. With water considered a vital aspect to the planet, the long process of effective control of water pollution has been around awhile, beginning with the Water Pollution Control Ordinance and its ongoing series of amendments—with the same goal of control of water pollution.
