Second Vision: The Four Horns and the Four Smiths. 1I raised my eyes and looked and there were four horns.* 2Then I asked the angel who spoke with me, "What are those?" He answered, "Those are the horns that scattered* Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."a
3Then the LORD showed me four workmen.* 4And I said, "What are these coming to do?" And the LORD said, "Those are the horns that scattered Judah, so that none could raise their heads any more;b and these have come to terrify them—to cut down the horns of the nations that raised their horns to scatter the land of Judah."
Third Vision: The Man with the Measuring Cord. 5I raised my eyes and looked, and there was a man with a measuring cord* in his hand.c 6I asked, "Where are you going?" And he said, "To measure Jerusalem—to see how great its width is and how great its length."
7Then the angel who spoke with me advanced as another angel came out to meet him 8and he said to the latter, "Run, speak to that official:* Jerusalem will be unwalled, because of the abundance of people and beasts in its midst.d 9I will be an encircling wall of fire* for it—oracle of the LORD—and I will be the glory in its midst."e
Expansion on the Themes of the First Three Visions. 10Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north*—oracle of the LORD;—For like the four winds of heaven I have dispersed you—oracle of the LORD.f 11Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell in daughter Babylon! 12For thus says the LORD of hosts after the LORD's glory had sent me, concerning the nations that have plundered you: Whoever strikes you strikes me directly in the eye.g 13Now I wave my hand over them, and they become plunder for their own servants.h Thus you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me. 14Sing and rejoice, daughter Zion! Now, I am coming to dwell in your midst—oracle of the LORD. 15Many nations will bind themselves to the LORD on that day.i They will be my people,* and I will dwell in your midst. Then you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. 16The LORD will inherit Judahj as his portion of the holy land,* and the LORD will again choose Jerusalem. 17Silence, all people, in the presence of the LORD, who stirs forth from his holy dwelling.k
* [2:1] Four horns: symbols of the total political and military might of Judah's imperial adversaries, probably representing Assyria, Babylonia, and Persia. The number four represents universality rather than any specific number of foes.
* [2:2] Scattered: sent part of the population into exile. This was standard imperial policy initiated in the ancient Near East by the Assyrians for dealing with a conquered state.
* [2:3] Four workmen: four agents of God's power. The imagery follows that of four horns: the workers cut down, or make ineffectual, the horns, i.e., enemy.
* [2:5] Measuring cord: a string for measuring, as opposed to a builder's string, 1:16.
* [2:8] That official: probably the man with the measuring cord of v. 5.
* [2:9] Encircling wall of fire: divine protection for an unwalled Jerusalem. Urban centers were generally walled, and Jerusalem's walls were eventually rebuilt in the late fifth century B.C. (Neh 2:17–20).
* [2:10] Land of the north: refers to Babylon (v. 11), in a geographic rather than a political sense, as the place from which exiles will return. The designation is "north" because imperial invaders historically entered Palestine from that direction (see Jer 3:18; 23:8).
* [2:15] Many nations…my people: a way of expressing God's relationship to people in covenant language. The covenant between God and Israel (see Jer 31:33; 32:38) is here universalized to include all nations.
* [2:16] The holy land: the Lord's earthly territory, a designation found only rarely in the Old Testament.
c. [2:5] Jer 31:38–39; Ez 41:13; Rev 11:1; 21:15.
d. [2:8] Is 49:19–20; 54:2–3; Jer 31:27; Ez 38:11.

A real estate agent can help you understand everything you need to know about the home selling process.
Not all real estate licensees are the same; only those who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR "®" trademark on their business cards and other marketing and sales literature.
REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reported that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR® again.
Real estate transactions are one of the biggest financial dealings of most people's lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $250,000. If you had a $250,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a certified professional accountant? If you had a $250,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be wise to work with a professional REALTOR® when you are selling a home.
If you're still not convinced of the value of a REALTOR®, here are more reasons to use one:
- When selling your home, your REALTOR® can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace as well as the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.
- Often, your REALTOR® can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your property.
- Your REALTOR® markets your property to other real estate agents and the public. In many markets across the country, over half of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer.
Your REALTOR® acts as the marketing coordinator, distributing information about your property to other real estate agents through a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or other cooperative marketing networks, open houses for agents, etc. The REALTOR® Code of Ethics requires REALTORS® to utilize these cooperative relationships when they benefit their clients. - Your REALTOR® will know when, where and how to advertise your property. There is a misconception that advertising sells real estate. NAR studies show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal contacts. When a property is marketed with the help of your REALTOR®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTOR® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
- Your REALTOR® can help you objectively evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position. This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections and financing – and a lot of possible pitfalls. Your REALTOR® can help you write a legally binding, win-win agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process.
- Your REALTOR® can help close the sale of your home. Issues may arise between the initial sales agreement and closing (also called settlement or escrow), for example, unexpected repairs might be required to obtain financing or a title problem is discovered. The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your REALTOR® is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. 3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. 4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. 6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. 7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. 8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. 10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. 12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Stair Rods - 35.4" (89cm) Width Easy To Fit Hollow Stair Carpet Runner Bars Affordable & New - Multiple Colours
To say thanks for using our calculator, use code MEA5 to get 2% off your entire order!
How much underlay do I need?
It's a question we get asked time and time again, here at the Carpet Underlay Shop. Rooms come in all different shapes and sizes and, to make sure that it fits easily into the desired area, it's important to get your carpet measurements right.
That's why, to make your life a little easier, we've created a handy flooring calculator. This will do all the hard work for you, ensuring you order the perfect amount of underlay and flooring for your project. And the best bit? Once you've hit calculate – as a small thank you from us – you'll be entitled to 2% off your next order.
How to use our carpet calculator
It's quick and easy to use. Just pop in a couple of details and it will tell you exactly how much underlay you need. Our carpet underlay calculator also allows you to work out how much your new flooring will cost. You can assess the affordability of a few different products and choose one that fits your personal budget.
Try it out today and if you have any further questions about carpet measurements, the amount of underlay needed or the carpet calculator itself, please feel free to give us a call on 0203 887 0994.
How do I calculate how much flooring I need?
Our flooring calculator is really easy to use. You just need to know the length and width of the room, in either feet or meters. Type these numbers into the relevant boxes above and click 'calculate'. The carpet calculator will then generate a number of measurements, including:
- the area of the space in square feet (ft2) and square metres (m2)
- the amount of gripper you will need in feet and metres
To account for any errors during the installation process, we always recommend adding 10% to these measurements. Unfortunately, this can't be done using our online flooring calculator. But it's pretty easy to work out yourself. Simply multiply each of the measurements above by 1.10 to get the desired total.
All of our underlay products are measured and priced per m2 and, using these measurements, it's easy to work out how much carpet underlay you will need – and approximately how much it costs.
How do you work out m2?
In order to calculate the size of a room or space in m2, you simply multiply the length of the space (in metres) by the width of the space (in metres). But if maths isn't your strong point, the easiest option is to use our carpet underlay calculator. Simply fill in the details, click 'calculate' and it will do the hard work for you – generating accurate carpet measurements in both m2 and ft2.
How many packs of underlay do I need?
Our flooring calculator can be used to calculate the surface area of a room. This tells you how much carpet underlay you need, in terms of feet or metres. But, unfortunately, it doesn't tell you how many packs you will need to buy. This depends on the specific underlay you have chosen and the amount of underlay in each pack.
For example, one of our most popular products – the Plushwalk 12mm Carpet Underlay – comes in half rolls containing 7.5m2 and full rolls containing 15.07m2 of underlay. To work out how many you need, divide the total surface area of your room (e.g. 100m2) by 15.07 and round up to the nearest half or full roll.
i.e. 100 ÷15.07 = 6.6 – therefore 7 full rolls would be required.
What does carpet underlay do?
Carpet underlay should not be seen as an optional extra – it's essential. Not only does it enhance the look and feel of your new flooring, it also improves the level of underfoot comfort. It acts as a shock absorber, protecting the carpet from daily wear and tear and extending its lifespan by up to 50%. On top of this, it demonstrates excellent sound and thermal insulation properties.
If you're ready to invest in underlay for your new flooring, take the first step today, and use our carpet measurement calculator to work out how much you need.
How long does carpet underlay last?
In theory, high-quality carpet underlay can last for up to 25 years – but the older it gets, the less effective it becomes. It can harbour dust and dirt. It may start to show signs of wear and tear and can affect the overall finish of the carpet. With this in mind, it's usually a good idea to invest in new underlay each time you replace your carpet or laminate.
Find out exactly how much carpet underlay you need using our handy carpet calculator!
Is carpet underlay easy to install?
Yes, absolutely. Even if you have no previous experience in this area, most new carpet underlays are relatively easy to fit – especially if you use the right tools and guidance.
For example, to ensure the installation runs smoothly, it's important to make sure you have enough carpet underlay for the job. This can be achieved by carefully measuring the room and using the accurate flooring calculator above to work out the total surface area.
Preparation is often the key to success. So, before you start, gather all the necessary equipment (i.e. tape measure, utility knife, adhesive, tape etc.) and clean and tidy the subfloor. Then, when you're ready to start the actual installation, we recommend checking out our beginner's guide on 'how to lay carpet underlay'. This will guide you step-by-step through the process and offers lots of useful tips and advice on how to achieve the best results.

Pine Park, Utah - 7.5 Minute Series Topo Map
The distinctive characteristic of a topographic map is that the shape of the Earth's surface is shown by contour lines. Contours are imaginary lines that join points of equal elevation on the surface of the land above or below a reference surface, such as mean sea level. Contours make it possible to measure the height of mountains, depths of the ocean bottom, and steepness of slopes. A topographic map shows more than contours. The map also includes symbols that represent such features as streets, buildings, streams, and vegetation.
This 1:24,000 scale topographic map, also known as a 7.5 minute topographic, covers approximately 7 by 9 miles. The contours and elevations on this scale map are shown in feet.

Who could have predicted this?
Well, apparently not "the world's most famous predictions market."
Intrade has given in to the pressure it's been getting from financial regulators and a subsequent sharp decline in its business. The trading site has closed its operations.
The once very popular Irish site that let users bet on the odds of almost anything made its name by correctly predicting such things as Barack Obama's 2008 White House win. It developed a reputation, as NPR's Yuki Noguchi reported last year, of producing odds that were "almost always right."
That was its reputation, at least. In reality, Intrade's odds weren't always on the mark:
-- They predicted the Supreme Court would knock down "Obamacare." The court didn't do that.
-- Michael Jackson's trial on charges related to child sexual abuse? Intrade had him being convicted on several counts. He was acquited of them all.
-- Like the pundits and pollsters, Intrade was way off on what would happen in the 2008 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary. It had Obama winning. But it was Hillary Clinton who emerged victorious.
Intrade announced its news with this statement:
"With sincere regret we must inform you that due to circumstances recently discovered we must immediately cease trading activity on www.intrade.com.
"These circumstances require immediate further investigation, and may include financial irregularities which in accordance with Irish law oblige the directors to take the following actions:
-- Cease exchange trading on the website immediately.
-- Settle all open positions and calculate the settled account value of all Member accounts immediately.
-- Cease all banking transactions for all existing Company accounts immediately.
"During the upcoming weeks, we will investigate these circumstances further and determine the necessary course of action.
"To mitigate any further risk to members' accounts, we have closed and settled all open contracts at fair market value as of the close of business on March 10, 2013, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of our customers' use of the website. You may view your account details and settled account balances by logging into the website.
"At this time and until further notice, it is not possible to make any payments to members in accordance with their settled account balance until the investigations have concluded.
"The Company will continue the maintenance and technology operations of the exchange system so that all information is preserved properly.
"We are not able to provide telephone support or live help services at this time, please contact the company by email at: firstname.lastname@example.com
"We appreciate your custom and support over the years. We are committed to reporting faithfully the status of things as they are clarified and hope you will bear with us as we do all we can to resume operations as promptly as possible."
Any predictions on whether it will ever be back?
Jon Stossel, for one, would seem to hope it will be. Writing for FoxBusiness, he was already regretting Intrade's inevitable demise last November. Though it had its share of missed calls, he looked at its hits and concluded that Intrade's disappearance would be "terrible news for all of us who want more input into what's going to happen in the future. Bettors on Intrade.com have made incredibly accurate predictions about elections - because they, unlike TV pundits, have real money on the line. This year, I watched on election night as TV pundits said "too close to call... too close to call..." while the bettors on Intrade knew that it was not a close call. Intrade has also successfully predicted events like Saddam Hussein's capture and the winner of the Oscars. People with the best information trade about those events, and drive up the odds on Intrade."
But the problem, as Business Insider has written, is that "the company was always operating in a clearly gray area of the law, as it crossed the line into both futures trading and online gambling. Late last year it totally blocked U.S. users, as it was sued by U.S. regulators."

Roman the Melodist
Saint Roman the Melodist (also Romanos and Romanus, from Greek Ρομανὸς), a Greek hymn-writer called "the Pindar of rhythmic poetry," was born at Emesa (Hems) in Syria. His feast day is October 1 with the feast of the Protection of the Mother of God.
The popular patron of church singers, St. Roman, was born in Emesa in the latter part of the fifth century. Whether or not his Jewish parents converted to Christianity is uncertain; Roman himself was baptized as a young boy and developed a great love for the house of God. When he came of age he served as a verger, lighting the lamps and preparing the censer. After moving to Beirut, he was ordained to the diaconate and assigned to the Church of the Resurrection. He had a rather mediocre voice, but his pure and simple heart was filled with love for God, and to assist at the church services gave him the greatest joy.
During the reign of Emperor Anastasius I (491-518), the young deacon moved to Constantinople. He led an ascetic life of prayer and fasting, but in his humility he thought of himself as being rather worldly. He had a special love for the Mother of God, and would go at night to pray in the Blachernae Church, which housed the precious omophorion of the Holy Virgin. The saintly Patriarch Euthemius loved Roman for his many virtues, and paid him the same wage as those singers and readers who were more educated and more talented. The latter resented this and derided Roman for his evident lack of musical and theological training. Roman himself was painfully aware of these defects; he longed for a melodious voice worthy of leading the faithful in praising God.
It was the day before the Feast of Our Lord's Nativity, and Saint Roman was assigned to lead the singing that evening at the All-Night Vigil. He was responsible not only for the singing but also for the text of the hymns. After everyone had left, he remained in the Blachernae Church and tearfully entreated the Mother of God to help him. Exhausted, he fell asleep with his sorrow. In answer to his prayer, the Mother of God appeared to him in a dream. She handed him a scroll and said to him gently, "Here, eat this." Roman did so and awoke, overcome with joy and the lingering presence of the heavenly visitor.
When it came time that night for him to sing, Saint Roman received the patriarch's blessing and, vested in a special garment reserved for the principal singer, he stepped onto the ambo. He began to sing: "Today the Virgin gives birth to Him Who is above all being . . ." The emperor, the patriarch, the clergy - the entire congregation listened in wonder at the profound theology and the clear, sonorous voice which issued forth. They all joined in the refrain, "A new-born Babe, the pre-eternal God." Later, Saint Roman told the patriarch about his vision, and the singers who had made fun of him prostrated themselves in repentance and humbly asked the Saint's forgiveness.
It should be noted that the kontakion as we know it today—a short hymn honoring and describing a particular feast or saint— is only the prologue or proomion of a full kontakion which, at the height of its development in the sixth century, was a poetic sermon composed of from 18 - 30 verses or ikoi, each with a refrain, and united by an acrostic. When it was sung to an original melody, it was called an idiomelon. Originally, Saint Roman's works were known simply as "psalms," "odes," or poems. It was only in the ninth century that the term kontakion—from the word kontos, the shaft on which the parchment was rolled—came into use.
With the Nativity Kontakion, which has been dated to the year 518, Saint Roman began a period of prolific creativity. Altogether, he wrote as many as one thousand kontakion, celebrating feasts and saints throughout the liturgical year. In the words of one scholar, Saint Roman's compositions successfully combined "the solemnity and dignity of the sermon with the delicacy and liveliness of lyric and dramatic poetry."
Because Saint Roman is commemorated on the same day as the feast of Protection, he commonly appears as a central figure in the icon of that feast, even though there is no historical connection (the event celebrated by the Protection icon occurred in the tenth century). Although in more recent icons Saint Roman is depicted as a deacon standing on the ambo, Russian church musicologist Johann von Gardner points out that in the oldest icons he is more accurately portrayed wearing the short red tunic of a singer and standing on a raised platform in the middle of the church.
Roman is said to have composed more than 8000 similar hymns or kontakia (Gr. κοντάκιον, "scroll") celebrating the feasts of the ecclesiastical year, the lives of the saints, and other sacred subjects. Some of the more famous are:
- on the death of a monk (extremely impressive)
- the Last Judgment
- the treachery of Judas
- the martyrdom of St Stephen
Kontakion (Tone 8)
- You were adorned from childhood with the godly virtues of the Spirit;
- you were a precious adornment of the Church of Christ, all-wise Roman,
- for you made it lovely with beautiful hymnody.
- Therefore, we entreat you, grant your divine gift to those who desire it,
- that we may cry out to you: "Rejoice, all-blessed Father, beauty of the Church."
Troparion (Tone 4)
- You gladdened Christ's Church by your melodies
- like an inspired heavenly trumpet.
- You were enlightened by the Mother of God
- and shone on the world as God's poet.
- We lovingly honor you, righteous Roman.
- JB Pitra, Analecta Sacra, i. (1876), containing 29 poems, and Sanctus Romanus Veterum Melodorum Princeps (1888), with three additional hymns from the monastery of St John in Patmos. See also Pitra's Hymnographie de l'église grecque (1867)

Expert Advice: Vivica A. Fox on Kissing and Oral health
Is having good oral hygiene important to kissing? Who's better to answer that question than Vivica A. Fox? Among her other achievements, the versatile actress won the "Best Kiss" honor at the MTV Movie Awards, for a memorable scene with Will Smith in the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day. When Dear Doctor magazine asked her, Ms. Fox said that proper oral hygiene was indeed essential. Actually, she said:
"Ooooh, yes, yes, yes, Honey, 'cause Baby, if you kiss somebody with a dragon mouth, my God, it's the worst experience ever as an actor to try to act like you enjoy it!"
And even if you're not on stage, it's no fun to kiss someone whose oral hygiene isn't what it should be. So what's the best way to step up your game? Here's how Vivica does it:
"I visit my dentist every three months and get my teeth cleaned, I floss, I brush, I just spent two hundred bucks on an electronic toothbrush — I'm into dental hygiene for sure."
Well, we might add that you don't need to spend tons of money on a toothbrush — after all, it's not the brush that keeps your mouth healthy, but the hand that holds it. And not everyone needs to come in as often every three months. But her tips are generally right on.
For proper at-home oral care, nothing beats brushing twice a day for two minutes each time, and flossing once a day. Brushing removes the sticky, bacteria-laden plaque that clings to your teeth and causes tooth decay and gum disease — not to mention malodorous breath. Don't forget to brush your tongue as well — it can also harbor those bad-breath bacteria.
While brushing is effective, it can't reach the tiny spaces in between teeth and under gums where plaque bacteria can hide. But floss can: That's what makes it so important to getting your mouth really clean.
Finally, regular professional checkups and cleanings are an essential part of good oral hygiene. Why? Because even the most dutiful brushing and flossing can't remove the hardened coating called tartar that eventually forms on tooth surfaces. Only a trained health care provider with the right dental tools can! And when you come in for a routine office visit, you'll also get a thorough checkup that can detect tooth decay, gum disease, and other threats to your oral health.
Bad breath isn't just a turn-off for kissing — It can indicate a possible problem in your mouth. So listen to what award-winning kisser Vivica Fox says: Paying attention to your oral hygiene can really pay off! For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.

Federal prosecutors say Ahmed Abu Khattalah was a leader of the 2012 assault on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya |
The second attack, which killed two security contractors, showed clear military training, retired Gen. Carter Ham told Congress in closed-door testimony released late Wednesday. The assault probably was the work of a new team of militants, seizing on reports of violence at the diplomatic mission the night before and hitting the Americans while they were most vulnerable.
The testimony, which The Associated Press was able to read ahead of its release, could clarify for the first time the events of Sept. 11, 2012, that have stirred bitter recriminations in the U.S., including Republican-led congressional investigations and campaign-season denunciations of the Obama administration, which made inaccurate statements about the Libyan attacks. The testimony underscores a key detail that sometimes has been lost in the debate: that the attacks were two distinct events over two days on two different buildings, perhaps by unrelated groups.
The U.S. government still has not fully characterized the first attack in which, according to Ham and eight other military officers, men who seemed familiar with the lightly protected diplomatic compound breached it and set it on fire, killing Stevens and communications specialist Sean Smith. A disorganized mob of looters then overran the facility.
In testimony to two House panels earlier this year, the officers said that commanders didn't have the information they needed to understand the nature of the attack, that they were unaware of the extent of the U.S. presence in Benghazi at the time and they were convinced erroneously for a time that they were facing a hostage crisis without the ability to move military assets into place that would be of any use.
The testimony reveals how little information the military had on which to base an urgent response.
Two House panels — Armed Services and Oversight and Government Reform — conducted interviews with the nine officers on separate days from January to April.
Four Americans died in Benghazi, including Stevens.
To this day, despite the investigations, it's not clear if the violence resulted from a well-planned, multiphase military-type assault or from a loosely connected, escalating chain of events.
In their testimony, military officials expressed some uncertainty about the first attack, describing protests and looting in an assault that lasted about 45 minutes.
The military attache to the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli told Congress the first attack showed some advance planning. The Libyan police officer guarding the diplomatic compound fled as it began.
The defense attache, whose name wasn't released, suggested the attackers "had something on the shelf" — an outline of a plan based on previously obtained information about the compound and its security measures, so they were ready to strike when the opportunity arose.
"They came in, and they had a sense of purpose, and I think it sometimes gets confused because you had looters and everyone else coming in," he said. "It was less than kind of full, thought-out, methodical."
Ham testified that the second attack, which killed security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty at the annex a mile from the diplomatic compound where the assault began the night before, showed clear military training. It was probably the work of a new team of militants, taking advantage after reports of violence at the first site and American vulnerability.
"Given the precision of the attack, it was a well-trained mortar crew, and in my estimation they probably had a well-trained observer," said Ham, who headed the U.S. command in Africa. The second attack showed "a degree of sophistication and military training that is relatively unusual and certainly, I think, indicates that this was not a pickup team. This was not a couple of guys who just found a mortar someplace."
Ham said the nearly eight-hour time lapse between the two attacks also seemed significant. "If the team (that launched the second attack) was already there, then why didn't they shoot sooner?" he asked.
"I think it's reasonable that a team came from outside of Benghazi," he said of the second attack in testimony on April 9. Violent extremists saw an opportunity "and said, 'Let's get somebody there.'" He also acknowledged that the absence of American security personnel on the ground soon enough after the first attack "allowed sufficient time for the second attack to be organized and conducted," he said.
Stevens had gone to Benghazi from the embassy in Tripoli to open a cultural center, State Department officials said.
The attacks came as President Barack Obama was in a close re-election battle, campaigning in part on the contention that al-Qaida no longer posed a significant threat to the United States and that, blending the economy and the fight against terrorism, General Motors was alive but "Osama bin Laden is dead." A terror attack on American assets could have damaged that argument.
Five days after the attack, after feverish email exchanges about her "talking points" among national security staff members and their spokesmen, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice linked the Benghazi attacks to protests in Tunisia and Cairo over an anti-Islam video. Weeks later, U.S. officials retracted that account but never fully articulated a new one.
Republicans seized on the inaccuracies, contending that the Obama administration was covering up a terror attack for political gain.
Several congressional and independent investigations have faulted the State Department for inadequate security, but they have not provided a full reading of who was involved in the violence, what the motives were and how they could pull off such a seemingly complicated, multipronged assault.
People on both sides of the debate tend to link the two incidents as one attack.
The congressional testimony that distinguishes the attacks came from military officials in Tripoli or, like Ham, coordinating the response in Washington. Most have never given a public account. But they agreed that confusion reigned from the outset.
"We're under attack," was the first report the military received from Benghazi. That message came from Stevens' entourage to Tripoli in the late afternoon of Sept. 11. Word was relayed to the defense attache, who reported up the chain of command.
That report gave no indication about the size or intensity of the attack.
The defense attache testified that the assault on the diplomatic mission was followed by a mob that complicated and confused the situation.
He said of the original attackers, "I don't think they were on the objective, so to speak, longer than 45 minutes. They kind of got on, did their business, and left." For hours after that, he said, there were looters and "people throwing stuff and you see the graffiti and things like that."
Once the first attack ended around 10 p.m., the military moved to evacuate Americans from Benghazi, while preparing for what it erroneously believed might have been an emerging hostage situation involving Stevens.
In fact, Stevens died of smoke inhalation after the diplomatic post was set on fire in the first attack.
Seven-and-a-half hours later, at dawn, mortars crashed on a CIA compound that had been unknown to top military commanders.
The military worked up a response on numerous fronts.
At one point, fewer than 10 U.S. military personnel in Libya were grappling with the mortar and rocket-propelled grenade attack on Americans who had taken cover at the CIA facility and, some 600 miles away, the evacuation of about three dozen people from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli by a convoy of armored vehicles.
An unarmed Predator drone conducting an operation nearby in eastern Libya had been repositioned over Benghazi, yet offered limited assistance during the nighttime and with no intelligence to guide it. A standby force training in Croatia was ordered to Sicily, while another farther afield was mobilized. Neither was nearly ready in time to intervene during the first 45-minute attack and couldn't predict the quick mortar attack the next morning. An anti-terrorism support team in Spain was deployed, though it, too, was hours away.
American reinforcements of a six-man security team, including two military personnel, were held up at the Benghazi airport for hours by Libyan authorities. Drone images and intelligence hadn't provided indications of a new attack, but word eventually came from two special forces troops who had made it to the annex and reported casualties from the dawn attack up the chain of command.
In Tripoli, military and embassy officials were evacuating the embassy there and destroying computer hardware and sensitive information.
The administration last month apprehended its first suspect, Ahmed Abu Khattala, and brought him to the United States to stand trial on terrorism charges.
The Justice Department maintains in court documents that Abu Khattala was involved in both attacks, and it describes the first breach on the diplomatic post as equally sophisticated. The government said a group of about 20 men, armed with AK-47- rifles, handguns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, stormed the diplomatic facility in the first attack.
Abu Khattala supervised the looting after Americans fled, the government says, and then returned to the camp of the Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia, where the Justice Department says a large force began assembling for the second attack.
The Justice Department provided no supporting documentation for those conclusions. They also reflect the divisions among current and former government officials about the two attacks.
In her book "Hard Choices," former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wrote that there were scores of attackers with different motives. "It is inaccurate to state that every single one of them was influenced by this hateful video. It is equally inaccurate to state that none of them were. Both assertions defy not only the evidence but logic as well."
Abu Khattala's lawyer says the government has failed to show that he was connected to either attack.
Ham, who happened to be in Washington that week, briefed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey. They informed the president.
Many of the military officials said they didn't even know about the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, let alone the CIA's clandestine installation nearby. Few knew of Stevens visiting the city that day. Given all of the confusion, Ham said there was one thing he clearly would have done differently: "Advise the ambassador to not go to Benghazi."

Tomcat Web Application Deployment
Table of Contents
Deployment is the term used for the process of installing a web application (either a 3rd party WAR or your own custom web application) into the Tomcat server.
Web application deployment may be accomplished in a number of ways within the Tomcat server.
- Statically; the web application is setup before Tomcat is started
- Dynamically; by directly manipulating already deployed web applications (relying on auto-deployment feature) or remotely by using the Tomcat Manager web application
The Tomcat Manager is a web application that can be used interactively (via HTML GUI) or programmatically (via URL-based API) to deploy and manage web applications.
There are a number of ways to perform deployment that rely on the Manager web application. Apache Tomcat provides tasks for Apache Ant build tool. Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin project provides integration with Apache Maven. There is also a tool called the Client Deployer, which can be used from a command line and provides additional functionality such as compiling and validating web applications as well as packaging web application into web application resource (WAR) files.
There is no installation required for static deployment of web applications as this is provided out of the box by Tomcat. Nor is any installation required for deployment functions with the Tomcat Manager, although some configuration is required as detailed in the Tomcat Manager manual. An installation is however required if you wish to use the Tomcat Client Deployer (TCD).
The TCD is not packaged with the Tomcat core distribution, and must therefore be downloaded separately from the Downloads area. The download is usually labelled apache-tomcat-8.5.x-deployer.
TCD has prerequisites of Apache Ant 1.6.2+ and a Java installation. Your environment should define an ANT_HOME environment value pointing to the root of your Ant installation, and a JAVA_HOME value pointing to your Java installation. Additionally, you should ensure Ant's ant command, and the Java javac compiler command run from the command shell that your operating system provides.
- Download the TCD distribution
- The TCD package need not be extracted into any existing Tomcat installation, it can be extracted to any location.
- Read Using the Tomcat Client Deployer
A word on Contexts
In talking about deployment of web applications, the concept of a Context is required to be understood. A Context is what Tomcat calls a web application.
In order to configure a Context within Tomcat a Context Descriptor is required. A Context Descriptor is simply an XML file that contains Tomcat related configuration for a Context, e.g naming resources or session manager configuration. In earlier versions of Tomcat the content of a Context Descriptor configuration was often stored within Tomcat's primary configuration file server.xml but this is now discouraged (although it currently still works).
Context Descriptors not only help Tomcat to know how to configure Contexts but other tools such as the Tomcat Manager and TCD often use these Context Descriptors to perform their roles properly.
The locations for Context Descriptors are:
- $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/[webappname].xml
- $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/[webappname]/META-INF/context.xml
Files in (1) are named [webappname].xml but files in (2) are named context.xml. If a Context Descriptor is not provided for a Context, Tomcat configures the Context using default values.
Deployment on Tomcat startup
If you are not interested in using the Tomcat Manager, or TCD,
then you'll need to deploy your web applications
statically to Tomcat, followed by a Tomcat startup. The location you
deploy web applications to for this type of deployment is called the
which is specified per Host. You either copy a
so-called exploded web application, i.e non-compressed, to this
location, or a compressed web application resource .WAR file.
The web applications present in the location specified by the Host's
(default Host is "localhost") appBase
attribute (default
appBase is "$CATALINA_BASE/webapps") will be deployed on Tomcat startup
only if the Host's deployOnStartup
attribute is "true".
The following deployment sequence will occur on Tomcat startup in that case:
- Any Context Descriptors will be deployed first.
- Exploded web applications not referenced by any Context Descriptor will then be deployed. If they have an associated .WAR file in the appBase and it is newer than the exploded web application, the exploded directory will be removed and the webapp will be redeployed from the .WAR
- .WAR files will be deployed
Deploying on a running Tomcat server
It is possible to deploy web applications to a running Tomcat server.
If the Host autoDeploy
attribute is "true", the Host will
attempt to deploy and update web applications dynamically, as needed,
for example if a new .WAR is dropped into the appBase
For this to work, the Host needs to have background processing
enabled which is the default configuration.
set to "true" and a running Tomcat allows for:
- Deployment of .WAR files copied into the Host
. -
Deployment of exploded web applications which are
copied into the Host
. -
Re-deployment of a web application which has already been deployed from
a .WAR when the new .WAR is provided. In this case the exploded
web application is removed, and the .WAR is expanded again.
Note that the explosion will not occur if the Host is configured
so that .WARs are not exploded with a
attribute set to "false", in which case the web application will be simply redeployed as a compressed archive. - Re-loading of a web application if the /WEB-INF/web.xml file (or any other resource defined as a WatchedResource) is updated.
- Re-deployment of a web application if the Context Descriptor file from which the web application has been deployed is updated.
- Re-deployment of dependent web applications if the global or per-host Context Descriptor file used by the web application is updated.
Re-deployment of a web application if a Context Descriptor file (with a
filename corresponding to the Context path of the previously deployed
web application) is added to the
directory. - Undeployment of a web application if its document base (docBase) is deleted. Note that on Windows, this assumes that anti-locking features (see Context configuration) are enabled, otherwise it is not possible to delete the resources of a running web application.
Note that web application reloading can also be configured in the loader, in which case loaded classes will be tracked for changes.
Deploying using the Tomcat Manager
The Tomcat Manager is covered in its own manual page.
Deploying using the Client Deployer Package
Finally, deployment of web application may be achieved using the Tomcat Client Deployer. This is a package which can be used to validate, compile, compress to .WAR, and deploy web applications to production or development Tomcat servers. It should be noted that this feature uses the Tomcat Manager and as such the target Tomcat server should be running.
It is assumed the user will be familiar with Apache Ant for using the TCD. Apache Ant is a scripted build tool. The TCD comes pre-packaged with a build script to use. Only a modest understanding of Apache Ant is required (installation as listed earlier in this page, and familiarity with using the operating system command shell and configuring environment variables).
The TCD includes Ant tasks, the Jasper page compiler for JSP compilation
before deployment, as well as a task which
validates the web application Context Descriptor. The validator task (class
) allows only one parameter:
the base path of an exploded web application.
The TCD uses an exploded web application as input (see the list of the
properties used below). A web application that is programmatically
deployed with the deployer may include a Context Descriptor in
The TCD includes a ready-to-use Ant script, with the following targets:
(default): Compile and validate the web application. This can be used standalone, and does not need a running Tomcat server. The compiled application will only run on the associated Tomcat X.Y.Z server release, and is not guaranteed to work on another Tomcat release, as the code generated by Jasper depends on its runtime component. It should also be noted that this target will also compile automatically any Java source file located in the/WEB-INF/classes
folder of the web application. -

Additionally, you will need to ensure that a user has been setup for the target Tomcat Manager (which TCD uses) otherwise the TCD will not authenticate with the Tomcat Manager and the deployment will fail. To do this, see the Tomcat Manager page.
