I have never taken any exercise
except sleeping and resting.
10 Tips for Restful SleepBy Steve Edwards
We talk a lot about the importance of recovery from exercise and how vital it is for our body transformation goals. Today we'll address the most important of these recovery modalities, sleep. Dreamland is where we make the most dramatic changes in our body's physiology. Those changes are directly related to what we do when we're awake but, if we don't take the precautions to ensure we get a good night's rest, our hard work can get sidetracked. So let's take a brief look at what happens to us when we sleep and how our daily lifestyle can improve this fitness process.
Approximately 70 million people in the U.S. suffer from sleep-related problems, according to the National Academy of Sleep. They also conclude that we lose around $100 billion annually in lost productivity and damages as a result of this. Lack of sleep affects concentration, memory, stress levels, alertness, and physical ability. It also affects our fitness results.
While we're at rest
When we're awake, our body is constantly wearing down. During sleep, our body varies its behavior to rebuild itself even more efficiently. Among other things, we make more proteins and release hormones at different rates. So while we tend to think of sleep as a passive process, it's actually very active.
It all begins with our brain. Instead of shutting down for the night, our brain signals our body about what to do during the various stages of sleep. In short, neurotransmitters (one you've probably heard of is serotonin) signal the body that it's time to switch modes. Once this occurs, our body begins a five-stage rebuilding process that we call sleep.
- Stage 1 is light sleep. You've probably experienced this during boring classes in school. Your body is barely asleep, your eyes move slightly, and you're easily awakened, usually with a startled "jump." During this stage, you'll often have dream-like visuals.
- Stage 2 is when the eye movements stop and your brain waves begin to slow down.
- Stage 3 begins deep sleep, as very slow brain waves, called delta waves, take over the more rapid brain waves, called sleep spindles.
- Stage 4 is a deep state where all muscle movements stop. It's hard to be woken during this state, and when you are, you're often in a groggy, disoriented condition.
- Stage 5 is called REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. In this stage, your breathing becomes shallow, your heart rate and blood pressure increase, your eyes jerk rapidly in all directions, and you have your wildest dreams.
We sleep in cycles wherein all five stages are completed in around one-and-a-half to two hours. As the cycles increase, we spend less time in deep sleep and more in stages 1, 2, and REM.
We tend to be more interested in studying our dreams and how they affect our psyche than in what else goes on during sleep. But all five stages of sleep are vital for maximum recovery. Furthermore, since each stage duration tends to vary during the night, subsequent cycles are also important. In each stage, some functions get shut down in order to funnel more resources to others. Since we can't do this while awake, sleep is the most efficient state of recovery.
While we're awake
The main things that affect our sleep are food, exercise, medications, chemicals, and temperature. The neurotransmitters that tell us to sleep are all influenced by these factors and can be misled. Some of the more obvious examples of things that affect our sleep are caffeine, which we often consume when we want to stay awake, and medications, which usually provide warnings on their labels. But what's also important to consider here is how some of these things affect our sleep cycles. Certainly "sleep aids," such as alcohol, make it easier to fall asleep but harder to get into deep sleep. Let's take a look at 10 ways we can improve our lifestyle to promote more thorough and restful sleep.
- Exercise regularly. Like we weren't going to say this! But, really, nothing promotes sleepiness like bodily damage, and exercise is an efficient way of breaking down your system in such a way that it can easily repair itself and grow stronger. If you're looking for an intense workout—one that may just promote sleepiness—try P90X® or
Turbo Jam® Maximum Results. Regular exercise puts your body into a habit of wanting to recover at night. If you exercise enough, your body will protest and fall asleep on the spot.
The only downside to exercise can be if it's done before bed. This is a response that varies with each individual. Some people can fall asleep immediately after a workout (a great recovery aid is a midday nap), but many are affected by the endorphin rush and can't get to sleep right away. It's something you should experiment with before slotting your workout into the evening hours.
- Eat better. Like we weren't going to say this too. But your overall diet also plays an important role in your sleep patterns. Many "bad" foods, as well as gorging yourself, will make you tired, but don't be swayed by this illusion. Swooning energy levels due to bad food may help you fall asleep but, a lot like alcohol, it will affect your sleep cycle and you won't sleep as well or as long as you should. A diet consisting of mainly whole foods will keep your energy levels constant and help your body swing toward more natural cycles and sleep patterns. You can follow these "5 Rules for a Healthy Diet."
- Stay hydrated. The downside of drinking too much water may be waking up in the night to go to the bathroom, but this is offset by the upside, which is heat regulation as your body goes through its various sleep stages. A dehydrated body can't sleep or recover well, and dehydration is one of the major factors involved in the hung-over state you may find yourself in after a bout of drinking.
- Sleep in a cool, dark place. Each person's tolerance levels vary, but most everyone sleeps better in an environment that's both cool and dark. Turn your bedroom into a peaceful place that's designed for sleep.
- Wind down in the evening. A nighttime ritual can greatly increase your chances for restful sleep. A light stretching session along with some calming reading and herb tea is a common recipe for sleepy time. Do keep in mind that watching the latest UFC match or reading provocative literature may have the opposite effect on your brain. For an effective Beachbody way to wind down, try Pajama Time from Yoga Booty Ballet® Master Series.
- Learn to not use an alarm. While this isn't always possible, if you get your lifestyle in order, your sleep pattern shouldn't require an alarm. Even if you wake up at a crazy hour to go to work, your body will get used to it if you get into a schedule. The only time you should need to use an alarm is for special occasions.
- Don't drink or smoke at night. I realize that this is when most of you will drink and smoke if that's what you do. Since it may be difficult to change, perhaps consider changing your patterns. Habitual smokers tend to sleep only three to four hours at a time, which is also the case when you're intoxicated. To offset this, begin to cut back as the evening progresses and hydrate. Just taking enough time to begin the restorative processes prior to bed can greatly lessen the effects of drinking and smoking and help you sleep better.
- Don't go to bed at a certain time. Go to bed when you're tired. Forcing yourself to stay awake creates the wrong brain signals, as can going to bed too early. There are times we all force ourselves to stay awake or sleep early, but try not to make this your default mode. By listening and responding to your body's signals you're creating habits that you should live by. You'll probably end up going to bed around the same time anyway—you'll just have less stress.
- Use sleep medications only as a last resort. Most sleeping medications are habit forming and have side effects. Of course, most doctors will tell you this, but you must also consider that the companies that make these drugs offer incentives for those who prescribe them. Be wary of the information you get. There are times when sleep medication can be handy, but it should always only be an option. It should never be a lifestyle.
- Supplement your diet. Besides herb teas, such as valerian root, you can use supplements to further ensure that your body has the nutrients it needs to get a full night's rest. A multivitamin, like Beachbody's ActiVit® Multivitamins or P90X® Peak Health Formula, will help ensure that you have the high-quality vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants your body needs to stay healthy. Ensuring that your mineral balance is correct will further enable you to sleep through the night. You can make a good sleep aid with some calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C (which helps your body absorb minerals). Three hundred to 500 mg of potassium and magnesium, 500 to 750 mg of calcium, and 500 to 1,000 mg of vitamin C are amounts with which you'll want to experiment.

4 Ways Exercise Boosts Your BrainBy Jordana Haspel
It may seem like a strange question—does working out have anything to do with how smart you are? But more and more research is suggesting that the answer is a resounding "Yes." Exercising can do everything from slowing the aging process to helping children learn to read (for more, read "Diet, Exercise, and Your Kid's Grades"). So if you're having trouble motivating yourself to trim your tummy, maybe you can do it to build your brain.
What does exercising do for your brain?
- Prevents memory loss. As we get older, our brain density decreases. In mice, exercising causes them to grow new brain cells, and recent studies suggest that the same happens to people. Working out can help stave off memory loss and preserve higher-order thinking. Another study indicates that exercising can help prevent Alzheimer's. So don't forget to work out with one of Beachbody's fitness videos like Slim in 6® or Hip Hop Abs™!
- All A's. Exercising increases blood flow to the brain, bringing it more oxygen and glucose. The increased brain activity carries over to learning; several studies have shown that kids who exercise regularly also do better in school. Exercising helps improve balance, spatial relations, and rhythm—skills that can help with reading and language acquisition.
- Don't worry, be happy. Exercising helps relieve anxiety and depression, sometimes as well as or better than medications. Some doctors are even using exercise to help treat learning disorders (like dyslexia) and attention deficit disorder (ADD). And the effects of exercise on your mood last as long as you continue to exercise, helping prevent relapses of mood disorders.
- Longevity. Reducing your brain's exposure to insulin may increase your lifespan. One way to get that insulin down? Living a healthy lifestyle (read this for 10 life-extending foods). There are so many health benefits you can get from exercising, many of which can extend your life, that this new information hardly sounds like news.
A lot of the research on the subject has been done on children. After all, they're the ones we normally associate with learning. And getting them into fitness when they're young will help them learn to make exercise a part of their lives. Tony & the Kids! is an effective way to get children excited about exercising. That doesn't mean the brain benefits of working out only apply to children, however. Young to old, exercising can sharpen your wits while it slims your hips. Of course, all of these brain-boosting effects only occur with regular exercise, so Keep Pushing Play!

Test Your Sleep IQ!By Joe Wilkes
- How many minutes does it take the average person to fall asleep? Seven minutes. People who fall asleep in less than five minutes are more likely to be sleep-deprived. Ideally, a person should fall asleep in about 10 to 15 minutes. This means they are sleepy, but not exhausted, and are less likely to be groggy when they wake up.
- How many dreams does the average person experience each night? The average person experiences about five dreams a night, ranging in length from 10 to 45 minutes, with dreams generally lasting longer as the night progresses. Non-REM dreams are generally repetitive and dull, while REM dreams have the crazier, more vivid plots.
- Who is more prone to insomnia—women or men? Women are 20 to 50 percent more likely to suffer insomnia than men.
- How long can the average human being live without sleep? The average person can only live for 10 days without sleep, as opposed to several weeks without food. However, the longest waking period on record is 18 days, 21 hours, and 40 minutes.
- Which country's citizens sleep the most and the least? Australians sleep the most, with 31 percent reporting more than nine hours of sleep per night. The Japanese sleep the least, with 41 percent getting less than six hours of sleep a night. Seven of the 10 most nocturnal nations are in Asia, but the real party animals are in Portugal, where 75 percent stay up past midnight.

A "Real Housewife of New Jersey" with money troubles is looking to drop the "house" part of her TV title.
Teresa Giudice, who recently filed for bankruptcy with her husband, citing nearly $9 million of debt, is looking to unload the 10,000-square-foot house in Towaco, N.J., for $4 million.
Known for flipping a table on her castmates in a fit of rage, Giudice and her husband Joe declared assets of $2,261,150 in a bankruptcy filing earlier this week. But they owe $8,709,831.34. It's not clear how much Teresa Giudice earns for appearing on the Bravo show but the couple listed their monthly income, including help from family members, at $16,583.33.
U.S. & World
"While this is a personal matter, I realize that certain aspects of my private life will always be subject to scrutiny and distortion," Giudice told People magazine. "What is true is that due to the economy, most of my husband's real estate ventures failed despite his hard work and effort. As a result, we looked to the Bankruptcy Court for a 'fresh start.'"
The house now on the market was featured prominently on season one of the series, and includes marble and gold accents throughout. It sits on 3.77 acres, has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a three-car garage. Outside, there are two ponds and a man-made waterfall.

The Happy Tart

- Only on the App
- Del Ray Alexandria
- Bakeries
Your first tartlet at this adorable gluten-free bakery is on the house, but we dare you not to walk out with a box of cookies, cupcakes or the righteousness known as a pear raspberry bombe. You'll thank us later.For Emma Cech, the owner of The Happy Tart, it all started with an Easy-Bake Oven. "I just thought those were the best thing ever," she said over a cup of coffee at her cute Mt. Vernon Avenue location. A food science degree and some heavy duty professional pastry chef training and work experience later, Emma's creations have come a long way.
When we walked in we were greeted by a friendly employee and a large array of finely decorated pastries, from multi-color macaroons and cupcakes to multi-layered petit fours and other goodies. Alas, it was her signature tartlets that got us really pumped. "We always have lemon meringue, lime and ganache on hand," she said of these tasty little mini pies. "We also always carry something seasonal," she said. When we were there it was a pecan masterpiece. Not being able to decide which citrus flavor to sample, we went for both the lemon and the lime. And we ate both in about 2.5 seconds. They're that good. And guess what? They're also for everyone. Everything at The Happy Tart is 100 percent gluten free, so there's no excuse not to get your butt over there and try one. Plus, your first tartlet's on the house. Although we dare you not to walk out with a box of cookies, cupcakes or the righteousness known as a pear raspberry bombe. Now if you'll excuse us, we have more eating to do.

I know this might be a little subjective. But I've read the other questions. A lot of answers kept on popping up like to use box2d, libgdx, andEngine, etc. So the real question is, what would be the best to start off with as a beginner.
I have some experience with java code, just by reading about in the Oracle Docs. I've gone through Flash and Eclipse. When i mean gone through, i don't mean i have actually created my own game from Flash or Eclipse, but i just learn things here and there.
Currently I'm reading Beginning Android for Beginners but I don't have the knowledge to implement my own Ideas into the game tutorials because of lack of experience.
I'm looking for a way to learn how to program to create games for Android. While at the same time get experience from programming. I do not want to learn those drag and drop game making applications such as GameMaker.
I'm looking just to make 2D games.

NEW YORK — On the second day of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) conference, the delegations of several European nations seemed determined to prohibit the government of any nation from violating any regulations imposed as a part of the ATT.
Switzerland took the lead on this effort to revise Article 3 of the proposed gun control agreement. The Swiss delegation was joined by several cosponsors in attempting to re-write the current version of Article 3 so as to more rigorously regulate the transfer of weapons that could be used for attacks on civilians.
As readers will understand, such vague terms as "weapons that could be used for attacks on civilians" could easily be interpreted to include nearly every variety of firearm whose ownership is protected by the Second Amendment.
When confronted about this potential infringement on the right to keep and bear arms, U.S. officials at the conference are quick to point out that Secretary of State John Kerry has committed to refusing to ratify any agreement that constricts the sphere of the Second Amendment's protection of gun rights.
As the negotiations on the revision of Article 3 wound down, the Canadian delegation was arguing for the status quo, insisting that the current version of the provision is likely as comprehensive as possible to still garner ratification by a majority of member states.
As the negotiations and presentations proceed, it becomes evident that many of the articles being drafted (or revised) contain provisions that would require the governments of member nations to track the transfer of weapons and ammunition within their sovereign borders.
One crucial step to implementing such tracking is the creation of a registry of gun owners. Without such a registry, it would be impossible to monitor weapon transfers effectively because governments can't track weapons exchanges and transfers unless they know who has them to begin with.
Americans need to be aware that the trajectory toward the mandatory compilation of a gun owner registry is in the works here at the United Nations.
One can imagine the scenario if such an article makes it into the final version of the treaty, which is scheduled to be presented for ratification next Thursday.
Secretary Kerry and his fellow bureaucrats would insist that they tried valiantly to oppose the domestic tracking of gun transfers, but in the end, they decided to vote in favor of protecting the safety of citizens and preventing any further violence using guns, such as that witnessed in Newtown, Connecticut.
There is precedent for incremental disarmament that begins with a gun owner registry that in turn was deemed a reasonable reaction to an armed massacre of innocents.
In the United Kingdom, for example, in 1997 the government passed the Firearms Act in the wake of the murder of 16 students and a teacher at an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, the year before.
The perpetrator of the Dunblane massacre used two Browning Hi-Power 9 mm pistols and two Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolvers. As a result, the ban began with the creation of a mandatory registry of all pistol owners. Finally, the Firearms Act of 1997 imposed a nearly absolute ban on the private ownership of handguns in the United Kingdom.
The previously compiled ownership registry was used by the Police Firearms Licensing Office to track down all those who had not complied with the mandatory surrender of handguns.
Once identified, all those gun owners who had previously refused to hand over their handguns were threatened with arrest for violation of the Firearms Act.
Americans familiar with this recent episode in British history could foresee a similar track being followed by our own federal agents.
First, there would be a registry imposed under the pretext of following international law as set out in the Arms Trade Treaty. On this point, is there any doubt that proponents of the registration of gun owners would feign frustration with the need for such a registry, but would nonetheless point to the so-called Supremacy Clause of Article VI as constitutional justification for the taking of names?
Finally, all Americans rebellious enough not to voluntarily drop off their handguns at the local police precinct (or Homeland Security Fusion Center) would receive notices in the mail informing them that they had broken the law, and that they would be granted a 30-day grace period to fall into line or face fines, imprisonment, or both.
Advocates of the Second Amendment should be aware that there are ample lessons in very recent history wherein high-profile mass murders were used as a pretext for the creation of a gun owner registry, which was in turn followed by confiscation. All, it should also be remembered, in the name of national security and the safety of all men, women, and children.
The disarmament of Britons is the latest, but it is not the only example of violence leading to registry, leading to seizure of privately owned weapons.
As The New American reported recently, riots and murders that tormented Germany following the end of World War I were used by government officials to justify the banning of "military type weapons." Year by year, the list of proscribed firearms grew, and the methods of enforcement grew more severe. The disarmament progressed until civilians were completely robbed of all rights of gun ownership, leaving them powerless to resist the rise of the Third Reich.
There are many Americans who refuse to believe that disarmament is the goal of those who are pushing for stricter and stricter gun laws. They assume that decreasing liberty is a fair price to pay for increasing safety.
This is naïve. History reveals that failure to monitor and oppose every movement — even small, seemingly insignificant, incremental ones — toward gun owner registry will result in outright confiscation. And history's ultimate and final lesson is that a disarmed society is a slave society, one powerless to oppose the brutal forced march toward tyranny.

The NISE Network creates educational products for a wide range of public audiences in informal learning settings. The NISE Network also creates a variety of professional development materials for scientists and educators to raise their capacity to engage the public in current science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
Inclusive Audiences Approach
The NISE Network seeks to increase professional and institutional capacity to effectively engage underserved and underrepresented audiences, including girls, bilingual audiences, and persons with disabilities, in informal learning experiences related to STEM content.
The NISE Net strives to reach a diverse audience with regard to geography, dis/ability, gender, race/ethnicity, language and income. Some examples of this work include:
- Geography: building partnerships with existing regional networks and other informal learning organizations that serve rural areas
- Dis/Abilities: using Universal Design principles when designing programs and exhibits, making video materials more accessible through the use of video captions, and using audio labels and audio descriptions for exhibits
- Gender: partnering with informal learning organizations that serve girls
- Race/Ethnicity: partnering with diversity-serving organizations
- Language: translating many public education materials into Spanish
- Income: encouraging partners to collaborate locally with community partners
Available on the website:
All Audiences
- Tips for leading hands on-activities and Using positive responses with difficult concepts
(misconceptions) (Explore Science: Earth & Space)

- Universal Design Guidelines: Programs: Guidelines describing ways educators can develop and implement public programs such as interpretation carts, state demonstrations, and science theater so that they are inclusive of the wide range of museum visitors.
- Universal Design of Educational Programs Workshop Resources: Hosted in July 2013 by the Museum of Science, Boston, the Universal Design of Educational Programs workshop was intended for museum educators who develop and conduct educational programs or train those who do. Included here are the slides, handouts, and other resources from the workshop.
- Universal Design for Public Programs online workshop recording: Recorded on August 21, 2012, the workshop focused specifically on the NISE Net's Universal Design Guide for Public Programs. Workshop facilitators give a brief introduction to the guide and look at some examples of universal design in NISE Network programs and activities.
Local Collaborations
The NISE Network is enthusiastic about broadening participation and engaging underrepresented audiences in current science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning experiences.
- Explore the Museum & Community Partnerships: Collaboration Guide and additional resources including videos, templates, tips, tools, includes profiles of national youth-serving organizations
- Collaborating with an existing youth-serving organization on STEM activities is an effective way for museums and university outreach programs to connect with audiences they may not regularly reach, particularly underserved audiences. Profiles of national youth-serving organizations have been compiled to assist museums and university outreach programs in developing partnerships with a community organization or a local chapter of a national youth-serving organization. These profiles are intended to provide a brief introduction to each organization: 4-H, Afterschool Alliance, Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), Boy Scouts of America (BSA), Girls Inc., Girl Scouts, libraries, National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP), Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Y (YMCA), and YWCA
- Listed below are just a few examples of how you can contribute to this effort:
- Incorporate the hands-on activities into existing outreach programs (for example, with local afterschool programs, programs for Title 1 schools, or Boys and Girls Clubs).
- Partner with a diversity-serving organization to offer a STEM-themed activity day (at your site or theirs).
- Include older youth from different backgrounds in your efforts to deliver the activities to the public, or include them in a mentoring program.
- Seek out volunteers from diversity serving professional societies.
- Share your experience and lessons learned with the Network through the NISE Network e-newsletter, blog post, or social networking.

Every time I'm out of town, Tina takes over the off-topic to post some kitten-related thing or another. What do you know, those posts, and the kitten videos contained therein, actually make you more focused and better at your job.
As reported by Forbes, a new Japanese study has found that looking at cute baby animals significantly improved concentration and focus.
So, next time your boss catches you watching videos of kittens jumping into boxes on YouTube, you can tell her, "Dude! I'm just trying to improve my focus!"
(I'm not saying it'll work, I'm just giving you an option.)
Will the internet ever tire of watching baby cats and dogs? Would the world be a better place if the government mandated kitten videos every day?
Feel free to share your favorite cat videos, or whatever else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chatting, and a lovely Tuesday.

Along with Hustler, Time, early Details, Kerrang!, Mad and Gearhead, Car and Driver stands as one of the magazines that not only influenced our worldview, but our writing as well. Goring sacred cows is fun, but the fact remains that C/D is #1 for a reason. The writing is consisently top-notch, they give credit where credit's due and make fun with little-to-no mercy when it's warranted. Plus, sometimes they do really, really dumb shit. It's all here in this oft-hilarious historical timeline of the mag, penned by the redoubtable John Phillips. Oh, and their 50th Anniversary shindig is this weekend in Indy.

Clarke's Commentary
The heavens and their host proclaim the majesty of God, Psalm 19:1-6; the excellence and perfection of the Divine law, Psalm 19:7-10; its usefulness, Psalm 19:11. The psalmist prays for pardon and preservation from sin, Psalm 19:12, Psalm 19:13; and thy his Words and thoughts may be holy, Psalm 19:14.
The title of this Psalm has nothing particular in it; but it is not very clear that it was written by David, to whom it is attributed; though some think that he composed it in the wilderness, while persecuted by Saul. For this opinion, however, there is no solid ground. There is no note in the Psalm itself to lead us to know when, where, or by whom it was written. It is a highly finished and beautiful ode.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.The heavens declare the glory of God - Literally, The heavens number out the glory of the strong God. A first view of the starry heavens strikes every beholder with astonishment at the power by which they were made, and by which they are supported. To find out the wisdom and skill displayed in their contrivance requires a measure of science: but when the vast magnitude of the celestial bodies is considered, we feel increasing astonishment at these works of the strong God.
The firmament - The whole visible expanse; not only containing the celestial bodies above referred to, but also the atr, light, rains, dews, etc., etc. And when the composition of these principles is examined, and their great utility to the earth and its inhabitants properly understood, they afford matter of astonishment to the wisest mind, and of adoration and gratitude even to the most unfeeling heart.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.Day unto day uttereth speech - Each day is represented as teaching another relative to some new excellence discovered in these manifold works of God. The nights also, by the same figure, are represented as giving information to each other of the increase of knowledge already gained.
"The labors of these our instructers know no intermission; but they continue incessantly to lecture us in the science of Divine wisdom. There is one glory of the sun, which shines forth by day; and there are other glories of the moon and of the stars, which become visible by night. And because day and night interchangeably divide the world between them, they are therefore represented as transmitting, in succession, each to other, the task enjoined them, like the two parts of a choir, chanting forth alternately the praises ot God." - Bisbop Horne.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard - Leave out the expletives here, which pervert the sense; and what remains is a tolerable translation of the original: -
אין אמר ואין דברים בלי נשמע קולם
Ein omer veein debarim, beli nishma kolam.
"No speech, and no words; their voice without hearing."
בכל הארץ יצא קום ובקצה תבל מליהם
Bechol haarets yatsa kavvam: Ubiktsey thebel milleyhem.
"Into all the earth hath gone out their sound; and to the extremity of the habitable world, their eloquence."
The word קו kau, which we translate line, is rendered sonus, by the Vulgate, and φθαγγος, sound, by the Septuagint; and St. Paul, Romans 10:18, uses the same term. Perhaps the idea here is taken from a stretched cord, that emits a sound on being struck; and hence both ideas may be included in the same word; and קום kavvam may be either their line, or cord, or their sound. But I rather think that the Hebrew word originally meant sound or noise; for in Arabic the verb kavaha signifies he called out, cried, clamavit. The sense of the whole is this, as Bishop Horne has well expressed it: -
"Although the heavens are thus appointed to teach, yet it is not by articulate sounds that they do it. They are not endowed, like man, with the faculty of speech; but they address themselves to the mind of the intelligent beholder in another way, and that, when understood, a no less forcible way, the way of picture or representation. The instruction which the heavens spread abroad is as universal as their substance, which extends itself in lines, or rays. By this means their words, or rather their significant actions or operations, מליהם, are everywhere present; and thereby they preach to all the nations the power and wisdom, the mercy and lovingkindness, of the Lord."
St. Paul applies this as a prophecy relative to the universal spread of the Gospel of Christ, Romans 10:18; for God designed that the light of the Gospel should be diffused wheresoever the light of the celestial luminaries shone; and be as useful and beneficent, in a moral point of view, as that is in a natural. All the inhabitants of the earth shall benefit by the Gospel of Christ, as they all benefit by the solar, lunar, and stellar light. And, indeed, all have thus benefited, even where the words are not yet come. "Jesus is the true Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world." His light, and the voice of his Spirit, have already gone through the earth; and his words, and the words of his apostles, are by means of the Bible and missionaries going out to all the extremities of the habitable globe.
On these words I shall conclude with the translation of my old Psalter: -
Romans 10:1 Hevens telles the joy of God; and the werkes of his handes schwis the firmament.
Romans 10:2 Day til day riftes word; and nyght til nyght schewes conying.
Romans 10:3 Na speches er, ne na wordes, of the qwilk the voyces of thaim be noght herd.
Romans 10:4 In al the land yede the soune of tham; and in endes of the wereld thair wordes.
Romans 10:5 In the Soun he sett his tabernacle; and he as a spouse comand forth of his chaumber: he joyed als geaunt at ryn the way.
Romans 10:6 Fra heest heven the gangyng of hym: and his gayne rase til the heest of hym: nane es that hym may hyde fra his hete.
All the versions, except the Chaldee, render the last clause of the fourth verse thus: "In the sun he hath placed his tabernacle;" as the old Psalter likewise does. They supposed that if the Supreme Being had a local dwelling, this must be it; as it was to all human appearances the fittest place. But the Hebrew is, "Among them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun." He is the center of the universe; all the other heavenly bodies appear to serve him. He is like a general in his pavilion, surrounded by his troops, to whom he gives his orders, and by whom he is obeyed. So, the solar influence gives motion, activity, light, and heat to all the planets. To none of the other heavenly bodies does the psalmist assign a tabernacle, none is said to have a fixed dwelling, but the sun.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.Which is as a bridegroom, etc. - This is a reference to the rising of the sun, as the following verse is to the setting. He makes his appearance above the horizon with splendor and majesty; every creature seems to rejoice at his approach; and during the whole of his course, through his whole circuit, his apparent revolution from east to west, and from one tropic to the same again, no part of the earth is deprived of its proper proportion of light and heat. The sun is compared to a bridegroom in his ornaments, because of the glory and splendour of his rays; and to a giant or strong man running a race, because of the power of his light and heat. The apparent motion of the sun, in his diurnal and annual progress, are here both referred to. Yet both of these have been demonstrated to be mere appearances. The sun's diurnal motion arises from the earth's rotation on its axis from west to east in twenty-three hours, fifty-six minutes, and four seconds, the mean or equal time which elapses between the two consecutive meridian-transits of the same fixed star. But on account of the sun's apparent ecliptic motion in the same direction, the earth must make about the three hundred and sixty-fifth part of a second revolution on its axis before any given point of the earth's surface can be again brought into the same direction with the sun as before: so that the length of a natural day is twenty-four hours at a mean rate. The apparent revolution of the sun through the twelve constellations of the zodiac in a sidereal year, is caused by the earth's making one complete revolution in its orbit in the same time. And as the earth's axis makes an angle with the axis of the ecliptic of about twenty-three degrees and twenty eight minutes, and always maintains its parallelism, i.e., is always directed to the same point of the starry firmament; from these circumstances are produced the regular change of the seasons, and continually differing lengths of the days and nights in all parts of the terraqueous globe, except at the poles and on the equator. When we say that the earth's axis is always directed to the same point of the heavens, we mean to be understood only in a general sense; for, owing to a very slow deviation of the terrestrial axis from its parallelism, named the precession of the equinoctial points, which becomes sensible in the lapse of some years, and which did not escape the observation of the ancient astronomers, who clearly perceived that it was occasioned by a slow revolution of the celestial poles around the poles of the ecliptic, the complete revolution of the earth in its orbit is longer than the natural year, or the earth's tropical revolution, by a little more than twenty minutes; so that in twenty-five thousand seven hundred and sixtythree entire terrestrial revolutions round the sun, the seasons will be renewed twenty-five thousand seven hundred and sixty-four times. And in half this period of twelve thousand eight hundred and eighty-two natural years, the points which are now the north and south poles of the heavens, around which the whole starry firmament appears to revolve, will describe circles about the then north and south poles of the heavens, the semi-diameters of which will be upwards of forty-seven degrees.
Coming out of his chamber - מחפתו mechuppatho, from under his veil. It was a sort of canopy erected on four poles, which four Jews held over the bridegroom's head.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.The law of the Lord - And here are two books of Divine Revelation:
1. The visible Heavens, and the works of creation in general.
2. The Bible, or Divinely inspired writings contained in the Old and New Testaments.
These may all be called the Law of the Lord; תורה torah, from ירה yarah, to instruct, direct, put straight, guide. It is God's system of instruction, by which men are taught the knowledge of God and themselves, directed how to walk so as to please God, redeemed from crooked paths, and guided in the way everlasting. Some think that תורה torah means the preceptive part of Revelation. Some of the primitive fathers have mentioned three Laws given by God to man:
1. The law of nature, which teaches the knowledge of God, as to his eternal power and Deity, by the visible creation.
2. The law given to Moses and the prophets, which teaches more perfectly the knowledge of God, his nature, his will and our duty.
3. The law of grace given by Christ Jesus, which shows the doctrine of the atonement, of purification, and of the resurrection of the body.
The first is written in hieroglyphics in the heavens and the earth. The second was written on tables of stone, and in many rites and ceremonies. The third is to be written on the heart by the power of the Holy Ghost.
Is perfect - תמימה temimah, it is perfection, it is perfect in itself as a law, and requires perfection in the hearts and lives of men. This is Its character.
Converting the soul - Turning it back to God. Restoring it to right reason, or to a sound mind; teaching it its own interest in reference to both worlds. This is Its use.
The testimony of the Lord - עדות eduth, from עד ad, beyond, forward. The various types and appointments of the law, which refer to something beyond themselves, and point forward to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Some understand, the doctrinal parts of the law.
Is sure - נאמנה neemanah, are faithful; they point out the things beyond them fairly, truly, and fully, and make no vain or false report. They all bear testimony to the great atonement. This is Their character.
Making wise the simple - The simple is he who has but one end in view: who is concerned about his soul, and earnestly inquires, "What shall I do to be saved?" These testimonies point to the atonement, and thus the simple-hearted is made wise unto salvation. This is Their use.
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.The statutes of the Lord - פקודים pikkudim, from פקד pakad, he visited, cared, took notice of, appointed to a charge. The appointments, or charge delivered by God to man for his regard and observance.
Are right - ישרים yesharim, from ישר yashar, to make straight, smooth, right, upright, opposed to crookedness in mind or conduct; showing what the man should be, both within and without. This is Their character.
Rejoicing the heart - As they show a man what he is to observe and keep in charge, and how he is to please God, and the Divine help he is to receive from the visitations of God, they contribute greatly to the happiness of the upright - they rejoice the heart. This is Their use.
The commandment - מצוה mitsvah, from צוה tsavah, to command, give orders, ordain. What God has ordered man to do, or not to do. What he has commanded, and what he has prohibited.
Is pure - From ברה barah, to clear, cleanse, purify. All God's commandments lead to purity, enjoin purity, and point out that sacrificial offering by which cleansing and purification are acquired. This is Its character.
Enlightening the eyes - Showing men what they should do. and what they should avoid. It is by God's commandments that we see the exceeding sinfulness of sin, and the necessity of redemption, so that we may love the Lord with all our heart, and our neighbor as ourselves. For this is the end of the commandment, and thus to enlighten the eyes is Its use.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.The fear of the Lord - יראה yirah, from ירא yara, to fear, to venerate; often put for the whole of Divine worship. The reverence we owe to the Supreme Being.
Is clean - טהורה tehorah, from טהר tahar, to be pure, clean; not differing much from ברה barah, (see above), to be clean and bright as the heavens; as purified Silver. Its object is to purge away all defilement, to make a spotless character.
Enduring for ever - עומדת לעד omedeth laad, standing up to Perpetuity. The fear that prevents us from offending God, that causes us to reverence him, and is the beginning as it is the safeguard of wisdom, must be carried all through life. No soul is safe for a moment without it. It prevents departure from God, and keeps that clean which God has purified. This is Its use.
The judgments of the Lord - משפטים mishpatim, from שפת shaphat, he judged, regulated, disposed, All God's regulations, all his decisions; what he has pronounced to be right and proper.
Are true - אמת emeth, truth, from אם am, to support, confirm, make stable, and certain. This is the character of God's judgments. They shall all stand. All dispensations in providence and grace confirm them; they are certain, and have a fixed character.
And righteous altogether - They are not only according to truth; but they are righteous, צדקו tsadeku, they give to all their due. They show what belongs to God, to man, and to ourselves. And hence the word altogether, יחדו yachdav, equally, is added; or truth and righteousness united.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.More to be desired are they than gold - This is strictly true; but who believes it? By most men gold is preferred both to God and his judgments; and they will barter every heavenly portion for gold and silver!
Sweeter also than honey - To those whose mental taste is rectified, who have a spiritual discernment.
Honey-comb - Honey is sweet; but honey just out of the comb has a sweetness, richness and flavour, far beyond what it has after it becomes exposed to the air. Only those who have eaten of honey from the comb can feel the force of the psalmist's comparison: it is better than gold, yea, than fine gold in the greatest quantity; it is sweeter than honey, yea, than honey from the comb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.By them is thy servant warned - נזהר nizhar, from זהר zahar, to be clear, pellucid. By these laws, testimonies, etc., thy servant is fully instructed; he sees all clearly; and he discerns that in keeping of them there is great reward: every man is wise, holy, and happy, who observes them. All Christian experience confirms this truth. Reader, what says thine?
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.Who can understand his errors? - It is not possible, without much of the Divine light, to understand all our deviations from, not only the letter, but the spirituality, of the Divine law. Frequent self-examination, and walking in the light, are essentially necessary to the requisite degree of spiritual perfection.
Cleanse thou me from secret faults - From those which I have committed, and have forgotten; from those for which I have not repented; from those which have been committed in my heart, but have not been brought to act in my life; from those which I have committed without knowing that they were sins, sins of ignorance; and from those which I have committed in private, for which I should blush and be confounded were they to be made public.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.From presumptuous sins - Sins committed not through frailty or surprise, but those which are the offspring of thought, purpose, and deliberation. Sins against judgment, light, and conscience. The words might be translated, Preserve thy servant also from the proud; from tyrannical governors, i.e., from evil spirits - Bishop Horsley. So most of the versions understand the place.
Let them not have dominion over me - Let me never be brought into a habit of sinning. He who sins presumptuously will soon be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Then shall I be upright - Let me be preserved from all the evil that the craft and malice of the devil or man work against me, then shall I continue to walk uprightly, and shall be innocent from the great transgression - from habitual sinning, from apostasy, from my easily-besetting sin. He who would be innocent from the great transgression, must take care that he indulge not himself in any. See Bishop Horne. Most men have committed some particular sin which they ought to deplore as long as they breathe, and on account of the enormity of which they should for ever be humbled.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.Let the words of my mouth - He has prayed against practical sin, the sins of the body; now, against the sins of the mouth and of the heart. Let my mouth speak nothing but what is true, kind, and profitable; and my heart meditate nothing but what is holy, pure, and chaste.
Acceptable in thy sight - Like a sacrifice without spot or blemish, offered up with a perfect heart to God.
O Lord, my strength - צורי tsuri, "my fountain, my origin."
My redeemer - גאלי goali, my kinsman, he whose right it is to redeem the forfeited inheritance; for so was the word used under the old law. This prayer is properly concluded! he was weak, he felt the need of God's strength. He had sinned and lost all title to the heavenly inheritance, and therefore needed the interference of the Divine kinsman; of Him who, because the children were partakers of flesh and blood, also partook of the same. No prayer can be acceptable before God which is not offered up in his strength; through Him who took our nature upon him, that he might redeem us unto God, and restore the long-lost inheritance. Lord my helpar and my byer. - Old Psalter. He who is my only help, and he that bought me with his blood. This prayer is often, with great propriety, uttered by pious people when they enter a place of worship.

(To read PART I, go HERE.)
Te Encontraré – PART II
Sitting in my little blue Chevrolet on that mild August night, Carlos decided to trust me with a secret. At the end of that first day together, having spent every last dollar of his paycheck on me, he seemed reluctant to get out of the car and say goodnight.
"Tengo que decirte algo," he said suddenly.
I looked at him, waited for him to say more.
He clasped and unclasped his hands. He looked at his lap, looked back at me.
"Estoy sin papeles."
Without papers? What papers? What in the world did that mean?
It may seem impossible that I should be so naive, that I didn't know, but that goes to show how very different our lives were. Earlier that year I read T.C. Boyle's Tortilla Curtain – felt compassion for the immigrant in the story, and then promptly forgot all about it upon returning it to the library. Carlos did not have the luxury of reading such a story and then forgetting about it – he was living it.
I needed more of an explanation to fully understand what it meant to be "illegal", (today's preferred term, "undocumented", wasn't used as much back then.)
How was it that a stamp inside a little paper booklet to cross an invisible man-made line could matter that much? He explained in more detail what his situation meant for him and how he had come to be "without papers", then he said,
"Do you still want to see me?"
His eyes, the color of wet earth, searched mine, as if seeking the answer before I spoke it.
"Yes…it's okay," I said. Knowing this about him didn't change my feelings – If anything, I liked him a little more for his honesty and for trusting me.
"It's okay?" he said in disbelief.
"Yes, it's okay," I smiled.
"Okay," he smiled back, sighing, an obvious weight lifted.
We kissed goodnight and he climbed the stairs to his brother's apartment. I sat in the darkness, watched the moths flutter in and out of the beam of my headlights, free to go wherever they wished.
"Borders are scratched across the hearts of men, by strangers with a calm, judicial pen, and when the borders bleed we watch with dread the lines of ink along the map turn red." – Marya Mannes

United States is not just the 'land of opportunities', but also the land of Open Data. From Spain, we are really jealous of how the government offers data in different lenguages and formats to be used and consulted by citizens and media.
One good example is the 2010 census: all kind of data about the population of such big and heterogeneous country is a very big opportunity to show what can we do with all that data and make it easy to access for citizens. Global and local, giving a general idea of the country, but also allowing people to check information of their own neighborhoods.
These are some examples of work with this information:
(If you know other interesting examples, just tell me in the comments of this post)
The New York Times
Mapping America: Every city, every block
I've talked about it separately. It really amazed me when I first looked at it. The different layers of information, the details, the fact that you can take a look to all the country, but also look for the data not just of your neighborhood but, in some cases, your own building!
Moonshadow Mobile
Censusmaps 2010: Washington, California…
It gives you the possibilty to go really deep and with many options, but only state by state (and just some of them). The creators of this technology think that what makes these maps different is the speed and the amount of data they can handle: "Our technology is software only and it is typically hosted in the cloud. As a result of our speed advantage we can work with much larger databases. Whereas others visualize 1,000 to 10,000 records in Google Maps we have visualized databases with over 100 million records. "
The Washington Post
Explore the 2010 Census
The Washington Post graphic is not as complete as the previous one, but gives you the option to compare the data with previous census. You could also seacrh for different visual stories on their main page of the census.
The Wall Street Journal
America in 2010
Although you can find different graphics of the census on WSJ.com, they are not as easy to use as WaPo's or NYT. The good thing is you can reach the information of each county, with goes more local than WaPo's, but not as detailed as its neighbour, the Gray Lady.
These are just some examples. Share in comments other interesting things if you know them, and I'll add them to this post.

|SeniorNet@FSL Celebrates its 10th Annual Volunteer Luncheon (Posted 3/26/2009)
On March 20, 2009, the Precious Restaurant parking lot filled early
with the arriving multitude seeking to park anywhere they could.
While not exactly a "multitude" the extra large turnout was for
SeniorNet@FSL Annual Volunteer Luncheon now in its 10th year. The
luncheon provided an excellent venue for novice and veteran volunteers
to meet each other and for spouses to get to know the organization. The
Special Events Committee hosted and organized the event that included a
raffle and special table decorations. (Kudos goes to Nina Smith and her
Volunteers and guests were specially honored to be host to Karen Klafter, Senior Aide to 17th District Legislator Lou D'Amaro. Unfortunately the Legislator was unable to attend due to a family crisis. Karen Klafter presented SeniorNet @ FSL with a Proclamation on behalf of Legislator D'Amaro, congratulating SeniorNet for its many achievements in such area as community outreach programs and attracting new audiences, training older adults with return-to-work skills as well as for its high level of professionalism and superior services.
After a tasty lunch, during which attendees and their guests engaged in lively conversations, Slava Vero and Moss Rawn
(SeniorNet @ FSL Co-Coordinators) addressed the gathering, first thanking the volunteers and then discussing the homebound pilot program and plans for an annex in the Town of Brookhaven.
Everyone left smiling and full and to paraphrase playwright Neil Simon see you "Same Time Next Year."
