15 Science Factlets You Don't Know
Now that we are fully settled into the New Year, it is time to refresh our brains with another list of fascinating factlets. These mini-facts are all science based and, for the most part, should be news to most readers. Let's get the New Year off to a good start with some learning!
1. Raindrops are not shaped like a teardrop (as they are almost always depicted in drawings) – they are actually spherical.
2. When something "sublimes" it turns directly into a gas from a solid – bypassing the liquid state. This is what would happen if you throw dry-ice into a fire.
3. Gorillas sleep in nests (pictured above) – they weave together soft foliage and bent branches from trees. Males tend to like sleeping on the ground while females like to have their nests in trees.
4. Champagne doesn't fizz because of carbon dioxide – it fizzes because of dirt or dust. In a completely smooth glass with no dust molecules in it, champagne would be completely still.
5. Most digestion occurs, not in the stomach, but in the small intestine. This may be the reason that a person can be bulimic whilst still staying fat.
6. The red juice that comes out of rare steak is not blood – it is myoglobin a close relative of blood. Almost all the blood has been removed from a steak by the time it hits the market.
7. Plastic bags are better than paper bags for the environment. The manufacturing process that makes paper bags requires far more energy than that which produces plastic. Recycling paper bags takes more energy than recycling plastic, and paper bags take up more space in a landfill. Because landfills are usually airtight beneath the surface, paper and plastic are equally bad at biodegrading.
8. Polar bears are fascinating creatures. Their fur is transparent (not white), their skin is black (not white), and when kept in warm humid environments, their fur can turn green from algae.
9. Pet allergies are usually not allergies to fur but allergies to the animal's dead skin, saliva, or waste matter. Regularly cleaning pets can dramatically reduce allergies.
10. The tongue map is a lie – you can taste all tastes on all parts of the tongue. The tongue map is derived from a discredited German paper from 1901.
11. When you hold a shell to your ear to hear the sea, the sound you hear is actually your own blood rushing through your veins! You can use any cup shaped object to hear this effect.
12. When you are alive, your brain is pink. When you die, it turns grey. While we describe the brain as "gray matter" and "white matter", this is not a true description of its color.
13. Mercury, the fascinating liquid metal is not the only liquid metal. Gallium (Ga – pictured above) is solid at room temperature but will melt if held in your hand, caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr) – the second rarest naturally occurring element, can also be liquid at or near room temperature.
14. Dolphins don't drink water – if they drank sea water it would make them ill and potentially kill them. They get all of their liquid needs through the foods they eat.
15. The Soviet Union was the first country to have a spacecraft on the moon – not the Unites States. In 1959, Luna 2 was the first craft to crash-land on the moon. In February, 1966, Luna 9 was the first soft-landed craft on the moon which relayed back pictures. Four months later, the United States landed its first craft on the moon (Surveyor I).

CFPB finalizes the LIBOR transition rule – Finance and Banking
United States: CFPB finalizes LIBOR transition rule
To print this article, simply register or connect to Mondaq.com.
The CFPB has published a final rule to facilitate the transition to LIBOR. The rule amends the provisions of Regulation Z, which implements the Loan Truth Act.
The changes serve to move away from the LIBOR indices for both open and closed products. The rule (i) will update the LIBOR-related provisions for closed products, such as adjustable rate mortgages, private student loans, auto loans and personal installment loans, (ii) update the provisions related to LIBOR for open products, including index changes, change of conditions notices and rate reassessment requirements for credit cards and home equity lines of credit, and (iii) revise the regulations Z as a whole to refer to certain maturity dates of the Guaranteed Overnight Spread Adjusted Funding Rate ("SOFR") instead of a LIBOR index. The Final Rule will also restructure the sample rate adjustment notice forms. ARM interest rate for the LIBOR transition.
The CFPB has also published updated FAQs to help creditors comply with the Final Rule and to offer advice on LIBOR transition matters and regulatory issues and considerations.
The changes to Regulation Z will come into effect on April 1, 2022, although some notice of change of conditions requirements do not require compliance until October 1, 2022. The sample rate adjustment notice forms d The updated ARM interest can be used from April. 1, 2022, and should be used from October 1, 2023.
Commentary – Daniel Meade
Interestingly, the final rule identifies one-month, three-month, or six-month deviation-adjusted SOFR as a comparable proxy index for the purposes of O. Reg. Z, but reserves its judgment on the duration to one year of the SOFR corrected for the differences. The CFPB, however, clarified that the mere fact that certain grades of SOFR were identified in the rule did not prevent other indices from being considered as comparable replacements for LIBOR.
The CFPB also indicated that it had determined The Wall Street Journal the one-month and three-month prime rates (as well as the SOFR tenors listed above) meet the "historical fluctuation comparison condition" for replacement rates for open-ended loans, such as credit cards and credit cards. HELOC.

by Bishop John (Kallos) of Amorion
In prefacing my presentation on social and political concerns, I would like to commence with this Litany:
"We want peace instead of war:
Love instead of hate:
We want a world community instead of nationalism:
We want sincerity instead of lies:
We want reasons instead of platitutdes:
We want justice not for ourselves alone but for all mankind:
We want warmth, humaneness and closeness instead of coldness, inhumanness and alienation."
Indeed, the Christian Church is a movement into the world and not a movement away from the world. That this is and ought to be the mission of the Christian Church is given proof and substance by God's coming into the world through the historical event of the Incarnation of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thus, every Christian by witnessing his or her own faith ought to be concerned, and even better still be positively involved in the alleviation of the various social, moral and political evils which plague our nation and our world. We as committed Christians have a sacred obligation of not only expressing vocally our concern in these matters, but by actually being involved in the struggle of transforming man and our society.
For Christianity, the Kerygma about new relationships between man and God, between man and man, about peace, love and justice, is neither based simply on the loftiness of these ideas, not on the fact that God commands them. Rather, it is based on the holy doctrines of the Incarnation and the Resurrection. A person must believe in the possibility of the metamorphosis of man and society, as this transformation is expressed in these doctrines, or his efforts for the re-building of a new world will be a waste of time and in vain. In all of man's work on earth, there is an interaction between God's grace and man's effort as regards that which is good.
If the Christian Church is to be relevant today, it must come to terms with today's social and political concerns and she must do it now. The Christian Church today cannot be content in merely preaching about love, peace, truth, justice, freedom, integration, etc., but it must become actively involved in the struggle for their becoming realities. And when I make mention of the church, I do not limit myself to the institution or structure of the church as such, but I am referring to the whole community of believers, both clergy and laity.
Mankind is at the crossroad. Mankind is facing a crisis. Mankind today is in need of a reconciliation. This reconciliation can be ours, only if we truly commit ourselves, our essence, our ground of being to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Who is the light, the truth and the way to love, peace and justice. The 60's by the wave of demonstrations made us aware of the deceit of the status-quo as regards to segregation, poverty, war, our environment and many other issues.
As regards racism, it is that school of thought based on a lie that color is more than skin deep, and that therefore the races must be kept apart. It wrongly claims that one group must always be first-call and the other must always be second-class, because they were made that way by virtue of the color pigment of their skin. The New Testament says, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female for ye are all one in Jesus Christ." Galatians 3:28. Racism is still one of the most explosive issues facing our nation today, I wonder how many of us have been content in merely facing superficially this problem and how many of us have been directly involved in eradicating this national stigma of ours, never forgetting that the U.S.A. is one of the racist nations in the world.
The other most flagrant issue of our nation as a result of our involvement in Vietnam is war and peace. Our Lord in Matthew 5:9 says, "How blessed are the peacemakers: God shall call them his sons," and in Matthew 10:34, He says, "You must not think that I have come to bring peace on earth: I have not come to bring peace but a sword." In the first of the two quotations, Christ is making mention of the inward and personal peace. In the second, Christ is speaking of the political peace. Our role in this most unpopular war in U.S. history, should not confuse our thinking and reasoning to the point wherein we cannot make a distinction between a war of aggression and a war of defense. For it is the latter under certain conditions that the natural law allows, as was our involvement in World War II. Whether a war is moral or immoral is determined by the motive and circumstances of the nations involved. In any case, war must be the last resort. Every avenue for peaceable means of settling dispute must be exhausted before plunging a nation into the prospect of people killing people.
The Christian Gospel which preaches the good news of the fatherhood of God, also preaches the brotherhood of man. Poverty means people, and the poor world makes up three-quarters of the world's population. One of the many gaps today is that of the industrialized nations and the underdeveloped countries. Poverty is most dehumanizing. We as Christians are commanded to aid the poor as is evidenced by the parable of the second coming and the right man poor Lazarus. The question of poverty is indeed a potential explosive one to our world.
Why all these social evils? It goes back to the fall of man. The first man did not remain in the state of the original sin, turning away from the will and law of God, God's image in man was weakened and blackened and his mind was dulled as regards spiritual things. Man's fall did not destroy man's free will, but weakened it.
Thus we have to struggle all the more to correct all the social and political evils which plague our world and nation. To succeed in this goal man must first of all change. A new man must come into being, by being reborn and transformed. There can be no new morality without there first being a new man. There can be no social or political change of any consequence and duration without there being a substantial change in man, wherein the renewed man will re-commit himself to the Christ of the New Testament. The power of change we know all too well, for the New Testament Christian affected his whole world and all its human, social and political relations and institutions. The power of changing our secular American society and our world lies in man's renewed relationship to God and God alone. This should be our challenge as we embark on the new decade, in the light of the demonstrations of the 60's which made us all the more aware of the many social and political evils which plague our society.

All we could see of Mt Ruapehu was a thin band of snow and rock beneath a battleship cloud. The wind, sucked down from the unseen, icy heights, bored through our clothes, chilled us to the bone, and slowed our progress to a pedestrian pace. We struggled for the best part of a day across what is called "The desert Road", an open stretch of highway over a high moorland saddle at the foot of N. islands mighty mountain. Could we have picked worse weather? Well, the day before was spent huddled in the tent in the shelter of some bushes as a storm raged over us for two nights and a day and the rain never stopped. This is New Zealand's summer, the coldest and wettest in the memory of septuagenarian Sheppard's, even their flocks look a little miserable. It does not help that someone told us the English are in shorts and T-shirts right now. The weather is all upside-down.
We have had some fine times though and the sun is hot when it deigns to shine. After leaving the sanctuary of Auckland family (Thanks Wendy and Co for a great time) well fed and rested, we took a ferry to the Coromandel peninsular and were left on a small remote jetty where we pedaled off into the last of the 22 countries we have seen since leaving England.
In a house on a hill looking back towards Auckland lived Trevor, a retired Sheep farmer who invited us to stay the night and share a home-grown dinner of tomatoes, roast potatoes and Red Snapper caught that day in the bay. What a welcome to rural NZ.
The next day turned to heavy rain and we rolled wet into the shelter at Port Jackson campsite where we met Monty and Penny and their bus and boat. We were treated to more delectable red Snapper and advised to stay on the beach as the country didn't get any better than this. After two days it seemed we had found paradise and had no reason to go any further. After a days unsuccessful fishing (will we ever catch another fish) we pushed and pulled our way around the peninsular on the dirt roads, tracks and paths to Hot-Water beach where we found the backpacker crowd digging holes in the sand and bathing in the volcanic springs.
Next morning riding in the other direction came two adventurous looking types on touring bikes, all bagged and tented out with road dust on the visors of their helms. It was Mark and Jenny the Australians we met a year ago way up in the Nepalese Himalaya. This pair had been on the road in Europe and the Americas and were just finishing a tour in NZ. It was great to see them again and we spent a great day and an evening in a wood chewing the fat and telling tales of the road. We rode off in different directions the next morning, I wonder where we will meet them again.
Onward we rode through sulfur smelling towns and past hot steaming lakes until we came to Taupo, the great lake where we bought ourselves a fly-fishing rod and tried our hand (unsuccessfully until now) at this complex sport. And so to the Desert Road.
On a sloping verge by a crossroads on a backroad in a strange land of cropped round hills and sharp, deep gorges is a picnic table. It is made of steel and wood in a hexagonal form and is stapled to an almost level gravel base with a rusty band of re-bar. It seems to be fairly new. Of all the hundreds of such tables we have eaten at along the way this one gets top marks for the view, if its position is a little strange. We looked back as the sun went down to the half-distant white mountain we had struggled past and failed to see. A few farmers passed and waved as we ate our dinner and drank our wine and we pitched our tent by the side of the road. We woke to a frosty morning and a frozen fly-sheet but we slept well and dreamt of never-ending all-powerful winds that blew us back over the miles we had travelled.
After a few days in the gorge-land backroads we surfaced in Ashurst near Palmerston North and began looking for a campsite, a task not easy on the busy road. Suddenly a sporty car screeched to a halt and a London accent asked if we were looking for somewhere to sleep and if so to ride on a few miles and pitch our tent on the lawn of no.196 and make ourselves at home. And so we find ourselves staying with Sean. He is a wealthy businessman and a former comic and magician, a good one too. The wind has picked up again so we are spending a rare day indoors. Tomorrow we head for Wellington and the boat to the S. Island.
Over and Out.

So Much In Such A Small Space
"This is my favourite spot in the whole of Reykjavik", Jon told me as we looked out towards the lighthouse. Located just a few minutes drive from the centre of town, it was almost as if you were in the countryside. "When I was young, you could come here and no one else was around. But now they've put in a path, and lots of people come here to walk their dogs", he added.
Jon is a friend of a friend who has lived in Reykjavik most of his life, aside from a few years living in Canada during the early part of the 200s. He came back to Reykjavik in the mid 2000s, when the economic boom in Iceland was beginning to be felt. A few years later, of course, it was a whole different story with the economic collapse. "A lot of people bought big cars during this period", he said, "and they have nothing to show for it". I knew about the collapse, but I didn't know about the economic boom which had preceded it.
When I first mentioned I was planning to visit Iceland, my friend in Sydney said "oh you must meet Jon". She introduced us to each other via email, and we made plans to catch up. Sadly there was a death in his close family, and so it was only on my final day in town that we firmed up plans.
Over a couple of hours Jon showed me around some of his favourite spots around the town. Within minutes of leaving the centre of Reykjavik, I was surprised to find us in seemingly remote areas. "This is like parts of The Northern Territory", I thought to myself as we went through grand landscapes.
"I understand quite a few films made have been made in Iceland?", I asked him, as I'd heard Batman and James Bond movies had films with scenes made locally. "You see so much variation in the landscape in such a short space", he told me, adding "You would need to drive for hours and hours in parts of North America to see such variation". Indeed, he was right, as we passed large lakes, mountains, saw snow in the distance, and took a close up look at some boiling water and mud.
Jon also had some great stories to tell from his life, including memories of an early performance on Icelandic television of a young, very pregnant Bjork wearing skimpy clothing. "I almost got the sack over that" he told me.
It was a really lovely way to spend my last few hours in Reykjavik. Jon is a really lovely bloke, and I thank my friend for the invitation, and Jon for taking the time to catch up. "It would have been nice to have caught up earlier for a beer", Jon said, but sadly due to a death in his family that wasn't to be. Hopefully next time, because I certainly think I'd like to return to Iceland at some stage. It's a great country, with lots to see, and lots of friendly people.

Judge rules Univ. Amsterdam protesters must pack up, leave Bungehuis
Protesters who have occupied the University of Amsterdam's Bungehuis building in the city center will have to leave the building or pay a penalty of 1,000 euros per person per day, a court in Amsterdam ruled on Thursday. The hearing took place after the university sued the protesters, hoping to fine the occupants 100,000 euros each, every day they remained in the building. A judge said the demand was too high, but agreed that the occupation stifled research and interrupted class schedules, while blocking exits creates a danger in case of an emergency, Nu.nl wrote. "We are not sure what time they will evict," the protesters said on one of their Twitter accounts. They said some 200 people were inside on Thursday evening to show their support. The eviction could take place before 10 p.m. Thursday, broadcaster NOS reported. The building houses the Faculty of Humanities at the university. It has been under control of the group De Nieuwe Universiteit since Friday. The university hopes to begin using the facility again by Monday. Protesters say the cutbacks at the faculty are unfair, and they are calling for a more democratized education system. They say the university needs to operate more transparently, and also needs to put an end to hiring lecturers and professors on a temporary basis. Several university teachers have voiced their support for the protesters, who are mainly made up of students from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the Vrije Universiteit (VU). The university says the cuts to the faculty are necessary because fewer students are enrolled there. They defend the temporary hirings by saying the rate is much lower in the department that at similar institutions worldwide.

As part of SUU's "Walk with a Leader" series; head coaches, athletic department staff, athletes and even Thor walked through campus to earn points in the school's Outdoor Nation Challenge.
The Outdoor Nation contest for "Most Outdoorsy School in the Nation" is in full force and the SUU community does not show signs of slowing down. In an effort to not only rack up points on the app, but to also allow students a chance to get to know coaches on campus, the Presidential Ambassadors put on this weekly activity.
On Oct. 4, students will have a chance to walk with the Leavitt Center and Mary Bennett while being encouraged to ask questions. The following and final week will be a walk with the art department on Oct. 11.
SUU Football Head Coach Demario Warren spoke about the impact he and his team have on campus as leaders during the walk. "I think it's very important for us to carry ourselves in the right way and exude that throughout our show on the field and off the field as well," Warren said.
Meanwhile, Interim Athletic Director Debbie Corum attested to her staff's dedication to the university as a whole.
"I think the fact that we as a community show up to these events speaks a lot to the collective vision of not only our department but the unity across campus," Corum said.
Show up they did. Assistant Director of Admissions and Recruitment, Amie Tukuafu said that Wednesday's crowd was "over double" the amount the previous Wednesday drew.
SUU currently leads the Division 1 competition by almost 75,000 points with plenty of time remaining to extend their lead. The Outdoor Nation Challenge will continue through Oct. 15 and students are encouraged to participate through the Outdoor App available for download on both Google Play and the App Store.

Is Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz the infamous Zodiac Killer? Well, no. But don't tell that to the nearly 40 percent of Florida voters who say they believe it's within the realm of possibility that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. In a poll released by liberal polling firm Public Policy Polling today, 10 percent of respondents said they believed for certain that Cruz is responsible for at least five and up to 28 murders in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960s and '70s, while 28 percent said they were unsure but couldn't rule it out.
Every day Cruz, a Canadian senator from Texas, doesn't respond to these allegations is a day his campaign falls into deeper trouble. As he struggles in the polls against Donald Trump, who is beating him by 35 points in Florida, an important swing state, look for more voters to turn against him as he continues to hold out on saying whether or not he is a serial killer. Cruz's Senate Press Office didn't return a request for comment.

Nadine Dorries Quotes
The public takes little notice of those who want to abolish abortion. They are dismissed as extremists. If I were to argue that all abortions should be banned, the ethical discussions would go round in circles.... My view is that the only way forward is to argue for a reduction in the time limit... saving some lives is better than saving no lives at all. I hope pro-lifers will come to share my view that some progress is better than no progress.

Just a month before she passed, Kristi suggested that we read something together that would be encouraging. Years ago, a good friend of mine had recommended a book, A Grace Disguised. I promptly purchased it then, and then promptly forgot about it. But when Kristi suggested we work through a book together, it popped back into my mind. We were immensely blessed by reading it.
The author, Jerry Sittser, faced sudden and catastrophic loss when a drunk driver hit the van he was driving, killing his wife, his youngest daughter, and his mother. Three generations – wiped out in an instant. Making matters worse, when the case went to trial, the drunk driver's attorney managed to get him off. Can you imagine experiencing the nightmare of such a tragedy and then a miscarriage of justice?
It isn't fair!
There isn't anything fair about a father losing a daughter, or husband losing a wife, or a son losing a mother. There wasn't anything fair about Kristi's diagnosis of rectal cancer at such a young age and less than a year into our marriage. And you have your stories to share that painfully illustrate the unfairness of life.
But as Sittser described his own frustration with the unfairness of his loss, he made a point that really resonated with us. Just as it is the case that we experience many tragic losses that are unfair, we also enjoy many gifts in life that we do not deserve. Life, love, joy, beauty. Merit has nothing to do with any of these things. They are displays of God's grace. As Sittser writes:
So, God spare us a life of fairness! To live in a world of grace is better by far than to live in a world of absolute fairness. A fair world may make life nice for us, but only as nice as we are. We may get what we deserve, but I wonder how much that is and whether or not we would really be satisfied. A world with grace will give us more than we deserve. It will give us life, even in our suffering.
The morning after we read that paragraph, Kristi had an appointment with a chiropractor. As we started to head out, we noticed that our garage door was broken – one of the rollers was mangled. I had tried to fix it a few days earlier, but in a display of my typical mechanical ability, I failed. In the midst of all the stress we felt during her illness, it didn't take much of a straw to break this camel's back, and when I saw that the door was broken, I became unhinged (!).
We finally managed to get to her appointment, and after Kristi's adjustment, we decided to pop by a Krispy Kreme donut shop because they were giving out free pumpkin spice donuts. But when we pulled into the drive-thru, we learned that the giveaway was the day before. Yet another frustration! But then the person on the other end of the speaker said, "I'll go ahead and give it to you anyway." And then when we pulled up to the window, she decided to give us several more for no charge (Kristi had a neck brace on from the adjustment, so we joked later that we got the free donuts because she looked so fragile!).
I realize a few free donuts isn't much in the scheme of things, but that day, at that moment, it was a blessing. And it got us to thinking about how many blessings we received that day that were totally undeserved. Earlier in the morning, we obtained a coupon to reduce our copay for a new experimental drug to zero – and the pharmacy took the initiative to make sure we knew about it. Kristi's adjustment was free because our chiropractor is a dear friend from church who had employed Kristi part-time for the last four years. And that evening another great friend from church gave us some delicious mini-bunt cakes (we ate well that day!).
Life indeed is not fair. Sometimes we face that which is cruel and heartbreaking. But sometimes we receive generous and uplifting gifts that remind us of the good we do not deserve. This is why it is so important to "give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18), to see that our lives are not totally defined by loss and pain, and that to ask "Why me?" is not only appropriate when we suffer, but also when we are blessed.

Sex with fembots is a little strange, but is it also bad for women? For everybody involved?
Two European ethicists are in the news for their campaign to halt the development of sex robots, which they say degrades women and could lead to an increase in human trafficking.
"We take issue with those arguments that propose that sex robots could help reduce sexual exploitation and violence towards prostituted persons, pointing to all the evidence that shows how technology and the sex trade coexist and reinforce each other creating more demand for human bodies," reads a statement on the group's website.
Not everyone agrees that sex robots will be bad for humanity. David Levy, the author of Love and Sex with Robots, says that human relationships with robots will soon be commonplace, and that's not a bad thing.
"There is an increasing number of people who find it difficult to form relationships and this will fill a void. It is not demeaning to women any more than vibrators are demeaning," he told the BBC.
Which, really, is an interesting question. When does a sex toy become a sex bot? How many human parts and features must it have before we start to worry about the moral implications?
New Jersey-based sex bot maker True Companion bills its $7,000 Roxxxy doll as the world's first sex robot. The website also lists a male version called the Rocky. The company founder, unsurprisingly, also agrees that sex bots are good for humanity: "Roxxxy provides physical and sexual pleasure but also provides social interaction and engagement," Douglas Hines told CNBC. "It's customizing technology to provide a perfect partner — she's not meant to replace a real partner but is meant as a supplement," he said.
It's worth pointing out that feminist sects are highly divided on the question of prostitution. Some argue that a man buying access to a woman's body is always violent and abusive, while others say that position strips women of their agency and ignores the experiences of women who see sex work as legitimate work. The ethicists arguing for a sex robot ban align themselves with groups that call for the wholesale abolishment of prostitution.
If there's anything that's going to make you squeamish about the idea of getting it on with fembots, though, it's this video of Roxxxy inventor Hines "pleasuring" the latest model. Definitely not safe for work, or for while you're eating. Shudder.

We Were Raised When Christ Was Raised
Ephesians 2:5-6
Sermon Transcript by Rev. Ernest O'Neill
The song we sang earlier talks about when Jesus rose from the dead and about his body. Maybe you could look at John 20:11 because there are interesting clues there about what his body was like. Verse 11 talks about Mary standing outside the tomb. "But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, 'Woman, why are you weeping?' She said to them, 'Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.'"
"Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?' Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, 'Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me here you have laid him, and I will take him away.' Jesus said to her, 'Mary.' She turned and said to him in Hebrew, 'Rab-bon'i!' (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, 'Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' Mary Mag'dalene went and said to the disciples, 'I have seen the Lord'; and she told them that he had said these things to her."
So you can see that Jesus was standing right in front of Mary, but obviously she wasn't able to recognize him. So whatever body he had there, and it's usually referred to as his resurrection body, was a body that didn't have the physical features that he had or that they could perceive he had when he was in Galilee. So it's just interesting to see that his resurrection body certainly wasn't recognizable by them because of his physical appearance.
And it was the same on the road to Emmaus where Jesus drew near and walked with two of them and they didn't know him. Then it says, "He was known to them in the breaking of the bread," — when he had the supper with them at Emmaus.
So obviously, the resurrection body that he came from the grave with was physically different, in appearance anyway, from the body that he had in Galilee. Then you notice the other thing that he said to Mary. It's in verse 17. She must have stretched out her arms as she naturally would to someone who was so dear to her. He said to her in verse 17, "'Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.'" And it's kind of strange to us and almost a little spooky. But what he said suggests that his body was not the one that he was finally going to have in eternity in heaven. It suggests somehow that he didn't want her to touch it, or perhaps couldn't touch it.
It's quite interesting what it says in verse 19: "On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them." It just says, "He came." It seems he must have come through the walls, or in some way he suddenly was there — because there's no story of him knocking on the door and them answering. "'Peace be with you… When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.' And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.'"
Now, he didn't tell them not to touch him. But it didn't seem that any of them were going to touch him. You can see the exact opposite happening in verse 24: "Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, 'We have seen the Lord.' But he said to them, 'Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe.'"
"Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, 'Peace be with you.' Then he said to Thomas," — different from what he said to Mary — "'Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.' Thomas answered him, 'My Lord and my God!'"
So obviously Jesus' resurrection body was such that he could give it the feeling of physical touch. It wasn't therefore that he told Mary, "Don't do it, because the ghost will disappear!" He obviously had control of the appearance and the very attributes of his own body. You get that kind of feeling, when he had the breakfast with the disciples on the beach and he ate fish. They fried fish and he ate.
You get the whole feeling that this was undoubtedly a physical body. Yet it did seem it was a special body. It seemed that his resurrection body was something that was special for him and was capable of obviously traveling great distances very fast – because, you remember, he appeared on about 10 different occasions. They were a great distance from one another in different situations. So he obviously could appear wherever he wished with his resurrection body.
It might be good just to see that that body therefore was different from the body that he would eventually have. That is referred to in Philippians 3:21. In verse 20 you get the context of it: "But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself." So just as he could subject physical touch and physical appearance to himself, so he can change our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body.
I think some of the translations of the previous piece that we read are not simply, "I have not ascended to my Father," but, "I am not yet glorified." So this promise is that we will have a body not like Jesus' resurrection body — which was a special one given for the purposes God had for him at that time — but like his glorious body, the body he will have when he is glorified in heaven. So it's maybe good for us to see that that's the kind of body we will have.
Probably we will be able to recognize each other from the appearance. You know that we won't be exactly how he was, because you remember John says, "We shall be like him for we shall reflect his glory because we will see him as he is." {Paraphrase of 1 John 3:2} It seems when we ourselves are together with him, we'll see everything as it really is and there won't be that intermediate kind of stage.
So it's obvious that at the moment we are not glorified, and at the moment we are not in heaven. In that sense, we are not experiencing what he experienced on the day of resurrection or what he experiences at this present time. But the heart of it is ours. And you know it yourselves — what it says starting at Ephesians 2: 4: "But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by
grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus."
It's very tempting for us to say, "Oh yeah, well that just means Paul's just looking back on the past, and looking back on his conversion. He's saying, 'You remember God was rich in mercy out of a great love in which he loved us, even when we were dead — when we were sinners, before we were converted – then later after we were converted he made us alive together with Christ. That's when he made us alive.'"
We often get caught up in that. We stumble there because we think, "Now wait a minute! Even when we were yet sinners he made us alive? No, no, no. We were first sinners and then we were converted. Then we were born again, and then God made us alive." But that's not what the verse says.
The verse says, "Even when we were dead, at the very time when we were dead through our trespasses. At that time when we were dead through our trespasses he made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)." If you doubt that, then you have to accept that the following sentences really prove it: "And raised us up with him." Because we can't say, "Now wait a minute. Paul is just looking back on our conversion and he's saying, 'You remember when you were dead in your trespasses, then you were convicted of your sin by the Holy Spirit, and you were born of God? Then God made you alive together with Christ.'" Yes, but he didn't raise us up with him and make us sit in the heavenly places with him. That hasn't happened yet. I have not a glorified body so that wouldn't be true.
If Paul here is just talking about their experience of conversion as Christians and them being made alive then he wouldn't go on to say, "And he raised us up with him and he made us sit with him." He would say, "And he will raise us up with him and he will make us sit with him in the heavenly places." In other words, these verses don't refer just to the temporal experience of our conversion. These verses are God's truth that when we were sinners, when we were sinners years ago, maybe even before we were born when we were sinners, God made us alive together with Christ and raised us up with Christ and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus long even before we were born.
You know how that is reinforced with the verses in Colossians 1:15: "He," Jesus, "is the image of the invisible God," and this phrase that still surprises me, "the first-born of all creation," — that Jesus was the first-born of all creation. "For in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities — all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." Including you and me. He's before everything, and he is before us. "And in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent."
Of course it's clear there that God is saying, "My son existed before you did. My son existed before the earth did. My son actually was the first born of all creation. He really did not just become a man when he went to Galilee and was born as a little baby in Nazareth. But he was a man from before eternity. He was the first-born of all creation, and in him all of you were created, and in him you all hold together."
That's what that verse says that we've so often read in Ephesians 2:10, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in him."
It gets back to that whole reality that God made us in his dear son. Even though Shelia and her mum are here, yet I'd still say our parents are God's gracious way of bringing us into this physical world — but we ourselves we're made in Jesus. We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus and we're made in him. In him God foresaw all that we would do.
He said to his dear son, "My son, will you bear what they will become? Will you bear it? Will you bear their sins and bear them? Will you hold them within yourself? And, will you face all that they do to you and me — face it? Otherwise we ourselves are irresponsible. We cannot just make little toys and let them do as they please and then turn around and make it alright. If we are serious about our love for them we have to bear what they do to us. Will you bear that?" And the Savior said, "Yes I will, my Father."
That's why Revelation says, "He is the lamb slain from before the foundation of the world." Because at that great moment God said to his son, "Will you bear the pain that will come to us? Will you bear the death that has to come if we are real? If we are honest about the things that they are going to do, they have to be destroyed. Will you bear their destruction inside yourself? Will you allow them to be slain with you so that I may raise them with you?" And Jesus said, "I will, my Father." That's part of what Paul is saying when he says, "God out of the great love with which he has loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ, and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places."
So today, this whole resurrection business is really just God saying, "You do see that I manifested this in history in 29 A.D.? You see that it actually took place? So did your death and resurrection in my son from before the foundation of the world — because I knew you before you were born." And you remember in Psalm 139:16 it says, "All the days of our lives, every one of them, have been written in his book before there were any of them." {This is a paraphrase.} So for us Easter is just the physical manifestation in history here on earth that Jesus was actually raised from the dead, and we were raised with him way before the foundation of the world.
Of course it takes away all the burden that we lay on ourselves — because the burden we lay on ourselves is, "I must become like him. I must become like him. I must do whatever is needed. I must work and exert effort, and do the good works to become like Jesus." And resurrection on Easter Sunday says, "No. You have been raised with Jesus. You have already been raised with him, and he has been raised inside you. All you have to do is allow him to reveal himself in you as he revealed himself in that new resurrection body as it was, as he revealed himself in that body on the first Easter day. All you have to do is now let him live fully in you."
That's why Paul wrote to the Galatians and said, "I'm praying that Christ will be fully formed in you." {Paraphrase of Galatians 4:19} That's what Easter is for us. It's reminding us that we are here to let all that we have been, be actually done away with here in this physical world, and let the new person that is Jesus show himself through us. I think I've said it before, but I wonder if you ever actually thought through why they say, "Oh your Christian name. Your Christian name. What's your Christian name?"
Of course, back in the beginning of the early church it had great meaning — because it was very
clear to them that if any man is in Christ he is a new creation, and all things are passed away and all things become new. So you get a Christian name. You actually do away with the name that you were given when you were born of your human parents — and receive a Christian name. That's why I prayed earlier that not only is every day Easter day for you and me. But actually for me I think it brings it home more that every moment is either an Easter moment or it's a crucifixion moment.
We are pushing ourselves forward so much all the time. In Northern Ireland we often feel, "Oh we have a terrible self esteem," or, "Oh, we're nothing." Yet it doesn't matter what our outside attitude is. I often used to think, "Boy, in Belfast we've a grim grip on life." But I don't think it's only people in Belfast. I think we're all the same, whether we're in the States, or wherever we live. We have a grim grip on life that is so unconscious that we don't realize it. But it is so strong that – I don't want to say "that little will of a wisp" — because he's no will of a wisp — but that gentle Savior who will not push himself — cannot manifest himself.
If you say to me, "Do you mean that all that I am and have been has been destroyed in him? The good as well as the bad?" Yes, yes! Because even our best works, our works of righteousness, are filthy rags. Yes, it seems to me Easter Day for us is everything that we have been up to this present moment, it's gone – and, "We accept that Lord. We now, Lord Jesus, open ourselves for you to manifest yourself in us."
I think the Holy Spirit is really gracious to us, and moment-by-moment he will make us aware of where it's still us living and not him. Certainly I'm more and more conscious how ugly I am myself and how beautiful, and gentle, and gracious he is, and how he is always giving up his way for others to be happy, and how often I am not giving up my way for others to be happy.
So really, the issue this morning, I think, for each of us, is that there is only one version of Jesus called Joe Seltzer. There's only one version of Jesus called Trish Overby. There is only one version of Jesus called Ernest O'Neill. We've to settle if that version of Jesus is going to live, or if we are going to push him back into the tomb. Let us pray.
Even if our friends and our relatives do not recognize you as they look up on our faces, Lord, we know that it is your will that they would immediately, the next second, recognize you when they touch your spirit when they feel your love, and when they sense your purity. Lord Jesus, we see that your will is that we would be a walking Easter and a living Easter. Your will is, Lord, that we would be overwhelmed by you, lifted out of ourselves by you, and taken beyond ourselves by you — so that your Father would look down on us and see that the old has passed away and the new has come, and would say, "This is my beloved son, in whom I'm well pleased."
Holy Spirit, we ask you to lead us into this. Get us out of the way so that Jesus may be seen as he planned — to do the things you have always intended to do in us and through us. And oh, Holy Spirit, open before us now this exciting life, this life of discovery, where each moment we will walk into new light and new life — rather you, Lord Jesus, will carry us up into new light and new life each moment of each day. Amen.

If the plaster tries to separate from the substrate that is called plaster debonding. When debonding occurs, plaster is separated from the wall. Now, you can imagine what will happen if debonding occurs in plaster!
This is a serious problem. We need to take preventive actions to solve this defect of plaster. But before that, we need to know the causes of this defect.
Causes of Debonding
The following reasons are causes for plaster debonding:
- Excessively thick plaster layer.
- A dusty and oily substrate.
- Dry substrate.
- Inadequate substrate preparation.
How to Prevent Debonding of Plaster
To prevent debonding of plaster, we need to take care of the following things during plastering.
- Remove dust from the substrate before plastering.
- Prepare oily surface properly.
- Allow substrate to reach correct moisture content.
- Use cement slurry coat on the substrate before plastering.
- If necessary you should use bonding chemical.

2019 Nissan Frontier Redesign
It's been almost a lots years since the present Nissan Frontier hit the United States market. Serious. In 2014, nevertheless, other worldwide markets received an all-new mid-size pickup truck called the Navara. The United States was considered not worthy to have it, similar to the brand-new Ford Ranger. It's an embarassment, actually. Now word on the road, inning accordance with The Reality Concerning Cars, is that Nissan, ultimately, is preparing a service to its Frontier trouble many thanks to the newly found demand for mid-size pickups.
U.S.A has been busy over the last couple years creating the new Titan XD and also "typical obligation" Titan pickup. Nonetheless, once the Titan rolls into dealerships for the 2017 design year, Nissan's interest will look to the Nissan Frontier.
Currently in it 2nd generation, the Frontier has been around given that 2004 with nearly imperceptible modifications past a minor facelift for the 2011 version year. A spartan interior and also simplistic powertrain make the existing vehicle really feel old, yet in some way lovely in its traditional design. Nevertheless, time progress and the following Frontier is goinged our means.
Ironically enough, Nissan already has its next variation of the Frontier. It's called the NP300 Navara as well as has gotten on sale because the 2015 version year. Naturally, the Navara isn't really' offered in the U.S., but nations worldwide enjoy its larger size, modern-day aesthetics, and also car-like inside. The U.S.-spec Frontier is the last hold-out for the second-generation body.
All indications and also sense indicate Nissan using a U.S.-spec version of the NP300 Navara, with tweaks to abide by security and exhausts. That suggests the global Navara might get brand-new powertrain choices prior to coming stateside. What those are, it's difficult to state, yet expect them to be extra powerful as well as reliable over the Frontier's existing 2.5-liter four-cylinder and also 4.0-liter V-6.
In expectancy of the next-generation Frontier, we've produced a rendering based upon the present NP300 Navara pickup. Till Nissan finally breaks cover with the next Frontier, this offers us a glance at what we could anticipate.
2019 Nissan Frontier Interior
Unlike the outdoors, the inside's layout is where Nissan will likely make modifications. The Navara's cabin is extremely car-like, appearing like it was taken from a Sentra. For the Frontier to maintain its rugged personality, Nissan will likely design a more brutish dashboard. Considering the Titan XD for ideas, the Frontier should have larger knobs, a little bigger buttons, as well as a four-spoke wheel. However, the Navara's inside might make a smooth change into the Frontier.
The 2019 Nissan Frontier will likely come common with front bucket seats, spit by a facility console. Back seats in the King Cab will be small dive seats that fold up from the back bulkhead. Dual Cab back seats will be a lot more comfy thanks to a lot more legroom and also a standard three-person bench seat. Expect there to be cargo storage space under the bench. Nissan would be wise to use a flat lots flooring back right here, also.
Technology wise, upper trim levels will certainly receive Nissan's 360-degree Around-View Display cam system with its bird's- eye sight for simple handling. All trim levels will certainly come common with a back-up video camera. Blind-spot surveillance, lane separation warning, automated stopping, and various other premium security equipment will certainly be provided.
2019 Nissan Frontier Specs
It's tough to say exactly what Nissan has up its sleeve for the next-generation Frontier. Going on the Navara's engine lineup, the present 2.5-liter four-cylinder can return, revamped with more horsepower and torque, in addition to far better gas effectiveness. It's very skeptical Nissan would certainly use the 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel Stateside, That's not a negative point, nevertheless, as Nissan can leverage its partnership with Cummins to generate a U.S.-specific diesel motor for the Frontier. As a matter of fact, Nissan did just that in 2014 with a concept Frontier utilizing a 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel. Speak about a feather in Nissan's hat …
Beyond four-cylinders, Nissan will likely use a V-6 alternative. There's no news as of yet, however we're thinking the present 4.0-liter V-6 will certainly obtain a complete re-working to up its power and also efficiency levels. Fanning to that fire is Nissan's method with reworking the exiting 5.6-liter V-8 for the second-generation Titan XD. The engine isn't really a brand new style, however is heavily changed with technology from this decade.
Transmission offerings will likely include the seven-speed automatic found in the Navara, along with the six-speed guidebook. It would certainly be superb for Nissan to supply the hand-operated transmission for each of the engine choices, though it's most likely base version four-cylinders will be the only ones with three pedals.
An electronic, two-speed transfer situation will certainly run the optional 4WD system, sending power to the front wheels just when the vehicle driver desires it. A digital securing rear differential will likely come typical on PRO-4X designs.
2019 Nissan Frontier Release date and Price
Nissan will likely keep the present trim degrees of the Frontier, suggesting King Taxi vehicles will certainly can be found in S and SV trims, while the Double Taxi will be available in S, SV, and SL trims. Nissan will certainly also divide the trim levels with engine choices, implying both the SV as well as SL trims will certainly be more split by the four-cylinder and also V-6 option.
Rates are guaranteed to increase over the existing generation Frontier, yet by just how much is unknown. The 2015 Frontier starts at $18,290 for a King Cab in the base S trim. Opting for the range-topping SV trim with the Dual Taxicab presses the beginning rate to $25,680, before options.
The 2019 Nissan Frontier will likely start around $19,500 for the base trim and also $28,000 for the SV in Double Taxicab kind.
The following Nissan Frontier cannot come quickly enough. The existing truck has gotten on the market for more than a decade, though it's still marketing relatively well. Much of that most likely relates to its pricing, being the least expensive midsize offering. Still, Nissan needs to update the Frontier in order to be a three-truck automaker. When the Titan and Frontier are out, clients' options will vary in between a four-cylinder King Taxicab Frontier and a spruced up Titan XD Platinum Get with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V-8.

Take a Bow
by John Dinkel
The Biggest Pitfall
As Host of the Manga Sensei Podcast, People that are learning Japanese, or any other language, often fall into bad habits unknowingly. These bad habits can hurt your language learning. After years of hard experience, teaching language and learning two (Japanese and Korean) I have fallen into enough pitfalls to know my way around the major ones. In my years of experience, there are 5 main pitfalls and problems that beginning language learners should know about in order to avoid.
Not having a clear purpose
The word in Japanese for 'purpose' is 目的 (Mokuteki) which is written by using the kanji (characters) for 'Eye' and 'Target.' Your language learning should be just that, your eye centered on the target. Often, people lose the reason for which they are studying. The overarching goal for why they are learning the language is key to making sure you don't give up. Moreover, it keeps you from wandering into things that would otherwise hinder your language learning; there is no reason to learn medical terminology if your Mokuteki is to do sales or speak fluently. While there is something to be said about 'fleshing out' one's language ability, straying too far from your language goal will often do more harm than good. Make sure you are doing those things that will help achieve your language learning purpose, rather than studying something that may be really cool or just interesting.
Jumping ahead of yourself
Before you study Kanji you should know your Hiragana and Katakana, Before you learn to read the newspaper you should most likely learn basic conversation, and you should know the basic structure of the language before you begin writing prose. It is often very frustrating to keep studying and growing one step at a time when you feel like you could just take on the world. However, I wouldn't recommend being a patent translator or acquisitions and mergers interpreter after only a year of study. When you jump ahead of your current language capability you grow. But when you jump too far into the deep end you can actually do more harm than good. Making sure you are doing things in the right order is a struggle and a challenge, but knowing when something is only going to mess up your later acquisition is an important skill.
Not setting measurable goals
People often get discouraged when they don't achieve the results that they want right away. That or people set astronomically high language goals and don't clearly define what that means. I cannot count how many times I have had someone tell me they are going to be conversational at Japanese in one year. This is a completely doable and seemingly sound goal, but what even does it mean to be 'conversational?' Do you want to be able to talk about everything or just about your weekend? Heck, I have been speaking Japanese now for almost 8 years and I still cannot talk about cars, computers, or the tea ceremony. Then again, I don't really care too. That falls outside of my preview as a conversationalist. Setting goals are best done on the SMARTER system in my opinion.
Abusing Dictionaries
We currently live in a microwave generation, where supposedly everything can be done with google translate. While there are a number of useful Japanese and English language apps, dictionaries and resources, people often rely too much on these tools. When you literally google every single word in an article, you may be relying too much on your digital memory. Instead, try front-loading, which is a process of pounding your brain with vocabulary words in attempts to memorize large quantities. That and using mnemonics, which may be a little better short-term crutch, as it actually helps you memorize the new words.
Trying to be perfect
This is the biggest mistake someone can make in my opinion. Unfortunately, this is something that the university system inherently tries to promote. Being free to make mistakes and actually try to write, read, or speak a language is foundational to the development of an individual's linguistic capacity. It is through mistakes that we learn a language. Experiences, memories of failures, and allowing ourselves to fail are the important things someone can do to learn a language. Literally, the only way someone is going to do, is by letting them do.
Why is it that when a child is learning how to speak we allow them to speak, and then correct them without persecution, but when an adult is learning a language, failure is rewarded with having to lower their grade? In today's language learning society, we are so obsessed with perfection we get lost in the thick of thin things. I have met people who have passed the JLPT, or have a degree, yet cannot string together a well-executed paragraph or idea in that target language. This is the epitome of the current method's idea of 'perfection.'
When I worked as an interpreter, I met many other wonderful linguists. I often asked for tips and tricks from the more senior and obviously talented individuals. I asked them what separated them from the other people who were learning the language at the same time. Their response was almost uniform. Every single one of them imitated native speakers and put themselves out there to be corrected by them. If you want to really master a language, do that. It is only by embracing mistakes that fluency can be obtained. Learning Japanese or any other language, falling into bad habits is often part of the process. Being able to recognize the pitfalls and either avoid them or get out of them is what really separates the good from the amazing.

Ten minutes in, I've hit a snag. I'd like the stuff in math/functions to have precise types. For example, log1p could have the type (case-> (Zero -> Zero) (Float -> Float) (Real -> Real)) It was easy to get the implementation to typecheck, but when I tried to plot it in untyped Racket, I got this: Type Checker: The type of log1p cannot be converted to a contract in: log1p I really don't want to have two versions of the library. Could TR use the most general type (Real -> Real) as the contract? Or would that be unsound? Neil ⊥

Napa wineries should take stock of damage following last week's 6.1 earthquake and consider upgrading facilities, as Chilean winemakers did following its 2010 tremblor.
Christian Wylie, export director for Chile's Santa Carolina winery, whose business suffered major damage in the 2010 earthquake, including the destruction of 3 million bottles of wine, shared some advice on changes made to the firm's facilities following the natural disaster.
"They really need to be very careful how they build wineries and tanks," said Wylie after some Napa wineries sustained significant damage following the quake.
Chile's 2010 8.8 earthquake led Santa Rita to:
He described the California quake as a "lucky wake-up call" for Napa. "The 'big one' has been coming for 15 years - it could be coming soon."
Santa Carolina is only now reopening its visitor centre at its Santiago winery to tourists following the 2010 earthquake.
He said Chile suffered a 6.4 earthquake on Saturday, which felt stronger given its proximity to the surface. But he said that "if it's not above 7.2 to 7.5 we're quite relaxed about it".
Stephen Rannekleiv, Rabobank International's executive director for its Food Service and Agribusiness division, said that while Napa winery damage was "spotty", the quake offered a "moment to step back and assess their readiness for this sort of event". He said while the impact of Chile's 8.8 earthquake was "devastating" the industry there had learned from it. "Chile also had an earthquake over the weekend of a similar magnitude to Napa which caused virtually no damage."
"There were lessons for Chile with regards to back-up electricity - they were at a certain point in production cycle where irrigation was key - how high to stack barrels and how tanks should best be anchored," Wylie said, adding that these could prove useful for Californian producers.
James Caudill, director of public relations and hospitality at the Hess Collection estate, told Harpers.co.uk it had faced significant damage. But he added: "We're still finding things each day, as is typical throughout the region, so there's both good news and bad, but the bottom line remains it could have been a lot worse, and it's just another thing to deal with - farmers are tough folks."

The Chicago Bears have a great defense, but offensively struggle mightily at times. One of the biggest culprits is the offensive line, which has resembled a sieve for years.
Matthew Fairburn of SB Nation says it's time to address it with the selection of offensive guard Jonathan Cooper from North Carolina.
Cooper would provide stability on the interior of the group with Gabe Carimi, the first-round pick of Chicago two years ago, still trying to solidify his spot as a tackle.
At 310 pounds, the senior would give his new team a nice piece to work with.
Over at CBSSports.com, Rob Rang and Dane Brugler also mock the Bears to take help on the offensive line, but with a tackle.
Rang has Eric Fisher of Central Michigan headed to the Windy City while Brugler goes with Lane Johnson of Oklahoma.
At Drafttek.com, they also have 6'7'', 305-pound Fisher going the Bears.
