19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
The woman is “that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” You might say that this is fairly elementary, and so it is. But I’m constantly amazed at how many people seem to lose at least part of the plot from this point on.

 Acadian Genealogy Homepage; Royal Proclamation on Acadian Deportation
The proclamation was greeted with enthusiasm throughout the Acadian community, including by many of those who felt that it did not go far enough in recognizing the responsibility of the British crown in the Deportation of the Acadians.
I wonder if the Acadians who suffered the “Great Inconvenience” were aware of the irony of the term, and wished to diminish the extent of their suffering by referring to it in an almost off handed manner.
The English translation is false to the idea contained in “Grand Dérangement” as though the Acadians have gone through history wringing their hands at the thought of the “Great Upheaval”.

Palestinians face a period of great upheaval in the wake of Yasser Arafat’s death, but the Palestinian Authority president’s demise presents “great opportunities” to reinvigorate the peace process, says Norman Spector, a former Canadian ambassador to Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
In a speech at Beth Israel Beth Aaron Congregation on the same evening that Arafat died — but before the news broke — Spector said progress hinges on the Palestinians playing their cards right by developing new and bold leadership, and abandoning their legacy of clan-based cronyism, corruption and division.
Spector, a past publisher of the Jerusalem Post who is now a syndicated columnist, said it won’t be easy for new Palestinian leadership to emerge and do what’s needed to dismantle terrorist infrastructures, but it’s possible.
