Answer. Nostradamus was educated as a physician and was noted for his work during the plagues of the 16th century. In later years, he worked as an astrologer to clients who included the Queen of France.

Answer. Apart from his professional works (in which no one is really interested) he produced a number of prophetic works. We discern between the Centuries and the Prognostications. The Prognostications are like an Almanac. They contain a series of Predictions about the next year. Because these predictions were fulfilled (or not) more than 440 years ago few are interested in them. The really interesting stuff is the Centuries.

Answer. The books of Erika Cheetham have good biographical material. These are readily available in university libraries and even in many bookstores. See also the other Nostradamus pages on the WWW and the USENET Nostradamus FAQ. (See below.)

Also don't forget to check out Albert Nanomius' eight part FAQ regularly posted on apn.

Answer. It is commonly believed that the first two Anti-Christs were Napoleon and Hitler. The identity of the third Anti-Christ is not yet known. Some people believe that Saddam Hussien will be the 3AC. Many believe that the 3AC will come from the Mid-East. Others have argued that the 3AC will come from East Asia (China, Mongolia or Korea.) This is a common topic of discussion in the Nostradamus newsgroup.

Answer. Very little or nothing. He does refer to the King of the Mongols, and to a King from beyond the Black Sea. Most of the discussion about China relates to a verse from the Bible that mentions an army of 200 Million. If the prediction is very specific, it is probably bogus. Nostradamus almost always concealed his meaning in anagrams, symbolism, and mythological allusions. (There are exceptions, however, see below.) These articles almost never give a citation to the original verse.

Answer. The names of [Louis] Pasteur, [Gen. Francisco] Franco, and others are clearly given by Nostradamus. The exact date of the London Fire (1666) is also plainly given. Many interpreters think that Hitler's name is also given, slightly modified, as "Hister." There are still many unsolved names and dates. In other quatrains, several dates are given in terms of fairly specific and unique astronomical data (e.g., planet positions in the zodiac). Answer.

Answer. Nostradamus wrote primarily in "early Modern French," with an admixture of archaic words mostly derived from Latin and Greek. Early Modern French is approximately contemporaneous with Shakespearian English. He also incorporates words from the "Languedoc" or Provencal dialect of southern France. Readers who are familiar with Latin and modern French can often understand the original language, even if they have not studied early French or Provencal.

With the dramatic increase in electronic trading in the overnight markets (GLOBEX) in both the big S&P contract and the Mini, opportunities abound for trading outside regular market hours. While GLOBEX has been around for the last 3-4 years it has really come into it's own in the last year with the increase in volatility worldwide. Overnight ranges of 1000-2000 basis points are not uncommon ($2,500-$5,000 in the big S&P, $500-$1,000 in the Mini). More and more traders are participating.

Nostradamus was a French physician. He was born in 1503 in Saint-R?my de Provence, France. He died in 1566 in Salon-de-Provence, France. He was a catholic. His parents and grandparents were Jewish from origin, but had themselves baptized catholic.

It seems like a full time job at times, haha, but it's just an interest since I don't make any money from this. I work for SARA LEE FOODS in Chicago during the day and attend Purdue Calumet in the evening part-time in pursuit of my B.S. in Computer Systems Analysis. I currently hold an Associates in the subject.

no. my job as a web designer and developer keeps me pretty busy. though people are very taken by the impression of fine letterpress, it seems few are interested in paying real money for hand-made printing. as a consequence, in order to pay the bills and put some scratch away for when I'm old and gray, I churn graphics and code.

The message Nostradamus wants to give to humanity, can be read most clearly in his letter to Cesar. Some of its elements can also be found in the quatrains and the letter to Henry II. Between 1555 and 3827, God will execute his judgment regarding the world. This will happen by means of one thousand disastrous events, that will take place irrevocably. These events are described in the quatrains and will occur between 1555 and 3797. In 2827, the biblical kingdom of one thousand years will begin.

Prices can vary from city to city, but it is not unreasonable to expect that one crew can complete two to three homes per day at a price of $300-$600 per home.

Kind of - but I'm supported by my Goddess-like wife who has the skills to keep us fed and clothed without me having to wait tables or fix plumbing. Right now Suddenly Naked supports itself, while Sue supports me.

WWW Board May 2000) It really varies but I would have to say either morning or at night. Also, what's on television affects the speed of my work. I have the TV or some CD's on during the day, mostly for background. I like the TV because I have to refocus my eyes when I look up at it every so often. Jack Kirby used to work with the TV tuned to a Spanish language station even though he didn't understand the language.

What's your (and perhaps others) opinions on using your own name when you blog and otherwise communicate with your visitors? I think I feel better when I communicate with site owners who are using their own names, and not trying to hide something. I want more than anything to totally "OWN" my dream of living in Spain but it will be difficult, however, to go public with this when I will be providing info to readers about Japan and other countries.
